In "Why the FMC Exists and How It Protects American Supply Chains", Joe Lynch speaks with Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), Laura DiBella, about how the agency regulates ocean shipping, resolves cargo disputes, and safeguards American importers, exporters, and consumers from supply chain disruptions. About Laura DiBella Laura DiBella serves as Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, having been nominated by President Trump in September 2025, confirmed by the Senate in December, sworn in as Commissioner on January 6, 2026, and designated Chairman later that month for a term through June 30, 2028. Before this role, she worked as a government affairs advisor for Adams and Reese LLP after serving as Florida's first female Secretary of Commerce, President and CEO of Enterprise Florida, and President of Business Development at the Florida Department of Commerce. Her maritime leadership career began in 2017 as temporary Port Director for the Port of Fernandina, later becoming the first full-time Executive Director of the Florida Harbor Pilots Association in 2019, where she spearheaded key infrastructure and policy initiatives. She holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Florida and is an accomplished marathon runner. About Federal Maritime Commission The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) is an independent agency of the federal government whose mission is to ensure a competitive and reliable international ocean transportation supply system that supports the U.S. economy and protects the public from unfair and deceptive practices. Key Takeaways: Why the FMC Exists and How It Protects American Supply Chains In "Why the FMC Exists and How It Protects American Supply Chains", Joe Lynch speaks with Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), Laura DiBella, about how the agency regulates ocean shipping, resolves cargo disputes, and safeguards American importers, exporters, and consumers from supply chain disruptions. Federal Maritime Commission Purpose: The FMC is an independent federal agency dedicated to maintaining a competitive, reliable international ocean transportation system that protects American consumers and taxpayers from unfair and deceptive supply chain practices. Support for U.S. Cargo & Economic Interests: The agency regulates ocean shipping to safeguard American importers and exporters, focusing on ensuring cargo fluidity, economic viability, and mitigating supply chain-driven inflation. Broad Industry Regulation: The FMC oversees and regulates ocean common carriers, marine terminal operators (MTOs), and ocean transportation intermediaries (OTIs). Impact of OSRA 2022: The Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 expanded the FMC's authority, enabling faster responses to U.S. shippers and establishing dedicated processes to address unfair detention and demurrage charges. Accessible Dispute Resolution: Through its Consumer Affairs and Dispute Resolution Services, the agency provides mediation between shippers and carriers to resolve commercial conflicts cost-effectively without requiring formal litigation. Licensing and Supply Chain Security: The FMC enforces licensing, bonding, and vetting for maritime entities to ensure reliable cargo delivery and protect against security threats and freight fraud.

The Notes: It's a rare political episode as we have special guest Lauren Reinhold here, the democratic candidate for the Big 1st Kansas Congressional district! Will & Nelson's political experience is lacking! Nelson needs a captain's hat! Lauren is yet another government worker capriciously fired by the goony sociopaths of doge, but this time their mistake is our benefit! Balancing between being nice and being honest! The common denominator of our economic realities makes for common ground in spite of party! Pineapple will still be legal if she wins, but coconut is right out! Coconut is a nut! Cat Corner! People want big money out of politics, but campaigns need money: so please donate if you can to politicians whose views you agree with! Travel costs a lot when a district is this spread out! Donation limits for those living off the grid! Nelson's unfortunate sticker business! Lauren's upcoming events: Meet and Greet Fundraiser in Lawrence on Friday September 25th at Repetition Coffee from 6pm to 8pm! Then an 8 town listening tour in western Kansas in October! She's a rare Kansas politician: an actual resident who stays to talk during appearances Find out more information and make a donation at: www.laurenforkansas.com!

Today we're joined by Katy's sisters, Dana and Sara, to chat about what's on the horizon for Dana, considering her diagnosis of terminal brain cancer last year.  As always, Dana shares inspiring words of hope and fortitude, proving that a terminal cancer diagnosis doesn't necessarily mean an instant end to a happy and rich life. They also attempt to address the question: would you want to know how much time you have left? For most of us, this is abstract question we'll never have to face. But Dana has a unique perspective on this. She also considers what exactly she wants her life to look like at the very end, and the benefits of stopping the fight sooner in order to enjoy a peaceful closing with the people she loves, in the places she loves. And also, since a celebration of life (which Dana has opted for instead of a memorial) is about LIFE, hear about Dana's plans to attend her own, while she is still alive. ***To help katy's sister Dana and her family with the staggering medical costs of her stage 4 agressive brain cancer—her specialist is outside her insurance network—as well of the costs of temporarily relocating to San Francsico for her treatments, please consider donating to her GoFundMe. Anything you can contribute will be extremely helpful. Thank you.*** ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: Our 4th annual Bittersweet Life Roman Adventure, taking place from 1 to 7 November 2026, is officially sold out!

All the other perks that come with a Worldcon membership.  See you in Montreal in 2027!

In cities like Rome, tourists are part of the city's identity, its reality, its way of life. When they go away—and don't come back—the city will inevitably change and adapt. Will the countless AirBNBs turn back into regular rentals, and will that in turn cause locals to move back to the historic center? Will the souvenir shops that have crowded out the artisanal workshops close their doors? Will restaurants that once hawked mediocre fare to tourists be forced to raise their standards in order to lure Romans to dine? On this episode from our archives, we hypothesize about what's in store for Rome in the post-Covid age, at least until the tourists return en masse. And we also muse upon the question: who is Rome for—at least, the historic center? With so few locals living and working in the center, has it become a kind of "Disneyland" for tourists, and will the sudden lack of tourists change that? (Now that we are several years past Covid and Rome's tourists have returned two- or three-fold, I wonder if our predictions from this years-old episode will hold up! Find out by listening in.) ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

The 2016 stack, as best I remember it: Skype for the call with video on so I could read body language, Ecamm Call Recorder capturing the Skype audio, and QuickTime recording my side locally — with a guest notes page asking every guest to do the same. I edited in Audacity, later GarageBand, and my first mic was the Blue Yeti, which sounds bad mostly because people talk into the top of it instead of the front. I was going to host the files on my own site until my friend Jackie Delia talked me out of it, which is how I ended up on Libsyn. Were they the best tools? No. Were they the ones I had? Absolutely.

In "Why the Yard is Your Supply Chain's Biggest Bottleneck (And How to Fix It)", Joe Lynch speaks with CEO of Lazer Logistics, Adam Newsome, about how turning the yard from an unmanaged blind spot into an optimized, tech-enabled transition zone unlocks massive supply chain velocity and cost savings. About Adam Newsome Adam Newsome is CEO of Lazer Logistics, bringing 25 years of business experience to the company's strategic vision and growth. He leads with a focus on operational excellence, disciplined execution and a people-first culture. Raised in an entrepreneurial household, Adam helped launch Lazer alongside his father who co-founded it in 1996. That hands-on beginning shaped his leadership approach: respect for the work, humility and practical problem-solving. Adam has guided Lazer through major growth milestones, including a Williams-Sonoma partnership that doubled the business, its first private equity partnership in 2010 and acquisitions and technology integration beginning in 2019. He focuses on helping customers improve yard operations through technology, operational expertise and people, while sharing lessons on resilience, growth and solving real business challenges with fellow leaders. About Lazer Logistics Since 1996, Lazer Logistics has been a leading provider of outsourced yard management, including spotting, shuttling, trailer rentals, gate management, drayage and technology solutions that help customers improve safety and performance across their logistics networks. The company is powered by a 3-pronged approach to efficiency and effectiveness rooted in technology, operations and most importantly, people. With over 800+ locations across 43 states and Canada, Lazer helps 57 of the Fortune 500 unlock precision, uptime and measurable CO₂ savings. In 2026, Lazer Logistics surpassed 4 million zero-emission miles across its North American electric yard operations while delivering an average net energy cost reduction of 85% for participating enterprise customer sites. The company was recognized as a Top Dedicated Contract Carrier by Transport Topics and a Great Supply Chain Partner by SupplyChainBrain. Key Takeaways: Why the Yard is Your Supply Chain's Biggest Bottleneck (And How to Fix It) In "Why the Yard is Your Supply Chain's Biggest Bottleneck (And How to Fix It)", Joe Lynch speaks with CEO of Lazer Logistics, Adam Newsome, about how turning the yard from an unmanaged blind spot into an optimized, tech-enabled transition zone unlocks massive supply chain velocity and cost savings. Automate Real-Time Yard Visibility with AI Vision: Traditional yard audits and manual YMS tracking leave critical asset blind spots. Utilizing AI-driven computer vision on yard trucks automatically updates trailer locations, loaded statuses, and geospatial data in real time without relying on human error. Eliminate Dwell Time and Expensive Detention Fees: Gate bottlenecks, chaotic trailer shuffling, and slow turnarounds trigger severe penalty fees from carriers. Streamlining gate workflows, automating spotter moves, and syncing trailer positioning directly with warehouse schedules maximizes dock door throughput. Outsource Specialized Spotter Operations to Mitigate Labor Strain: Recruiting, training, and maintaining in-house yard drivers and specialized equipment creates operational friction. Turnkey, safety-certified spotters handle rigorous backing protocols, peak seasonal surges, and strict compliance without risking site safety or high turnover. Protect Cold Chain Integrity via Continuous Reefer Monitoring: A trailer running out of fuel or dropping temperature while waiting in the yard leads to scrapped product and compliance failures. Active reefer management—including scheduled fueling, proactive temperature logging, and automated out-of-range alerts—safeguards perishable cargo. Transition Yard Operations to Electric Spotters for Cost-Neutral Decarbonization: Idling diesel yard tractors generate heavy emissions and high fuel overhead. EV yard tractors eliminate localized air pollution and diesel costs, offering an enterprise-ready, cost-neutral path toward net-zero supply chain mandates. Optimize Fleet Efficiency by Target-Reducing Idle Time: Fuel burn from stationary spotters is a major hidden expense. Installing telematics directly on yard trucks allows operations to monitor engine usage, cap average idling below 15%, and significantly lower net fuel costs across distribution sites. Reinforce Site Security to Combat Freight Theft and Fraud: Large distribution yards serve as primary attack vectors for cargo theft and unauthorized access. Implementing centralized gate access, automated digital check-ins, and strict driver vetting shields inventory against organized freight fraud.

You might be telling yourself you just need more traffic, more customers, or more sales. But if something in your business is already leaking, adding more on top of it probably isn't the fix. Sometimes the next move is figuring out where people are getting stuck, what's taking too much of your time, and what needs to work better before you ask your business to grow.

Somebody pulls me aside about once a week now and says some version of the same thing: I've been thinking about starting a podcast. It happens in client sessions, at conference tables, in DMs from people I've never even met in person. And every single time, my gut reaction is identical: just go do it. So this week I'm pulling back the curtain. Not the polished, "look how easy this was" version...the actual seven step process I used to launch this show, the one I'd use again if I were starting from absolute zero today, minus the six months I let a microphone collect dust on the corner of my desk before I did anything with it. This one's part pep talk, part field manual. Numbers, mistakes, the actual tools I use, and the real talk nobody puts in a "how to start a podcast" listicle. What You'll Hear Why the "podcast market is too saturated" fear doesn't hold up (and the stat that proves it) The seven step process I used to launch this show, step by step The three tools I consider non-negotiable (and why I don't overthink the rest) Why I built a list of 30 episode ideas before day one, and why most people skip it The 80/20 truth about launching versus marketing a podcast What changed between 2019 Molly starting this show and the version of me behind the mic today Resources & Links Mentioned The Podcast Lab by Jenna Kutcher Blue Yeti microphone (my mic of choice) Descript (editing software mentioned in this episode): use this link to get 50% off your first 2 months!

It's a debate as old as time, and today Katy and Tiffany are tackling it: Which are better: dogs or cats? And perhaps more importantly, which make better pets? Is the loving loyalty of a dog a more important trait in a pet than the independent, low-maintenance lifestyle of a cat? And crucially: which animal is cuter? Katy had a dog as a young person, and now she has cats. Tiffany grew up with cats, and now has a dog. Does that mean cat people can become dog people and vice versa? We tackle this and many more extremely serious questions on this weeks new episode and our kick-off of Season 15!! ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: Our 4th annual Bittersweet Life Roman Adventure is taking place this year from 1 to 7 November 2026!

Are you tired of watching every one you know go to Italy? Florence-based food blogger and culinary tour guide Coral Sisk was, and she penned a viral complaint about it for the popular online foodie publication Eater, with the specific complaint that the media turns too much of its focus on Italy—particularly when it comes to food programming—so tourists think it's the "only" place to go. The comment section was wild, with most of the responses somewhere along the lines of "I love Italy and there's nothing wrong with that!" Of course there isn't, but does Sisk have a point? Does the media contribute to an oversaturation of tourists in Italy when there is so much world out there to explore and eat your way through? And is this excessive tourism even beneficial to Italy and its tourism industry? And while we're at it, why is it that people come back to Italy again and again? In this episode from our archives, we try to find the answer by sitting down with Coral Sisk, food writer and Florence resident who had some very strong opinions on the topic. Follow Coral's culinary adventures on Instagram, or visit her website Curious Appetite to read her blog or book a Florence food tour. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

The future of personal financial planning depends in part on whether today's professionals help the next generation see what the career can become. In this episode of the PFP Podcast, Cary Sinnett talks with Dr. Brianne Smith about how firms can expose students and early-career professionals to the human side of financial planning and give them meaningful opportunities to grow into advisory roles. Drawing on her experience as both a practitioner and accounting professor, Brianne shares practical ideas for developing future financial planners, from bringing real client stories onto college campuses and creating PFP internships to inviting young professionals into client meetings before they feel fully "ready." What you'll learn: How real client stories can help students see financial planning as a meaningful career Why firms should consider creating dedicated PFP internship experiences How "graduated responsibility" can build confidence, from analysis to client meetings and recommendations Why pre- and post-meeting conversations can turn client exposure into professional development The importance of cultivating curiosity, problem-solving, communication, and the human side of advice As technology continues to reshape the profession, Brianne argues that the ability to troubleshoot, ask better questions, communicate effectively, and connect with clients will become even more valuable. Developing those capabilities starts by intentionally giving the next generation opportunities to observe, participate, and eventually lead.

A Question That Stopped Me In My Tracks Have you ever heard a question that made you stop dead? Not because you didn't understand it. Quite the opposite. Because you understood it too well. That's what happened to me. I was listening to Chris Williamson on the Modern Wisdom podcast when he asked a question that stopped me in my tracks. And almost immediately I started searching for an answer. Not because I didn't know the answer. I did. And that was the bloody interesting bit. I realised that knowledge wasn't my problem. Action was. I knew what I wanted. I knew some of the things I needed to do. I've been doing this personal development stuff for long enough to have a pretty good toolbox. So why wasn't I acting? That question took me somewhere much more interesting than I expected. It got me thinking about my own search for meaning, direction, purpose and my North Star. It made me wonder about the dreams, goals and desires we have — and what might actually be stopping us from moving towards them. Because perhaps sometimes the problem isn't that we don't know what to do. Perhaps there's something underneath that knowledge quietly saying: "Not yet." And that's where things like limiting beliefs, emotional blockages, self-doubt and our internal voice can start to show themselves. What happens when you see opportunity differently? In this FMQ, I start exploring what might happen if we could make our dreams and goals: Bigger Brighter Richer Quicker And, perhaps most importantly, more enjoyable to pursue Because achieving something isn't the whole story, is it? How we experience the journey matters too. I want to explore how the way we see the world, the things we believe about ourselves and that little voice inside our heads can influence whether we actually take action. And I've got a feeling that question might give us a rather useful way of uncovering what's getting in the way. This is the seed... This is a Five Minute Quickie, so I'm deliberately leaving the question hanging. I'd like you to think about something you're working towards right now. Perhaps it's: Work. Health. Relationships. A project. A dream. A goal. Or simply letting go of something that's been holding you back. Write it down if you can. Don't solve it yet. Just bring it with you. Because in the longer Deeper Dive, we're going to explore the question properly and see whether we can turn it into a practical process for uncovering what's stopping us — and perhaps finding a better way forward. And who knows? Maybe your answer will surprise you. That's certainly what happened to me. Have a think. And enjoy every heartbeat. Please Share and pay it forward https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-540-a-question-that-stopped-me-in-my-tracks And if you want to see m,e recording this https://youtu.be/QM19D4Hzu8I

In "Why the Future of Freight Has No Driver's Cab", Joe Lynch speaks with Founder and CEO of Humble Robotics, Eyal Cohen, about how cabless, electric autonomous haulers are reimagining commercial logistics from the ground up. About Eyal Cohen Eyal Cohen is the Founder and CEO of Humble Robotics, an autonomous electric trucking company that recently closed a seed round and emerged from stealth with the Humble Hauler – a fully autonomous, cabless, electric Class 8 truck built from the ground up. Cohen spent his career at the frontier of autonomous vehicles and electrification: he was inside Apple's self-driving program in its early days, watched Uber move into commercial freight, executed the world's first autonomous freight delivery by semi-truck, and sold his previous company to John Deere. About Humble Robotics Humble Robotics is an autonomous vehicle technology company reimagining commercial freight transportation through physical AI and zero-emission heavy hauling. The company builds fully autonomous, electric Class 8 haulers purpose-built to handle complex logistics scenarios without a traditional driver cab or diesel tank. By blending vision-language-action (VLA) models with robust, lightweight hardware, Humble Robotics powers a universal platform supporting multiple vehicle configurations. Its cabless, vision-first design is 20% lighter than standard rigs, reaching up to a 200-mile range at 55 mph. Functioning as tractor, trailer, and driver combined, the Humble Hauler delivers a true dock-to-dock solution that lowers per-mile operating costs, eliminates fuel dependency, and streamlines global supply chain operations. Key Takeaways: Why the Future of Freight Has No Driver's Cab In "Why the Future of Freight Has No Driver's Cab", Joe Lynch speaks with Founder and CEO of Humble Robotics, Eyal Cohen, about how cabless, electric autonomous haulers are reimagining commercial logistics from the ground up. Shedding the "Driver & Cab Tax": Traditional Class 8 trucks carry heavy operational overhead due to driver labor, sleeper cabs, and complex mechanical maintenance; eliminating cab infrastructure entirely with a purpose-built autonomous chassis lowers total cost-per-mile across equipment, labor, and maintenance. Eliminating the 20% Deadweight Penalty: Standard semi-truck setups waste allowable weight limits hauling heavy engine cabs, fuel systems, and driver amenities. A streamlined, cabless universal platform is 20% lighter, letting shippers maximize payload weight per route. Targeting High-Volume, Short-Haul Routes First: While industry focus often gravitates toward long-haul trucking, 87% of U.S. truck tonnage moves under 250 miles; focusing on high-frequency, short-haul moves (like drayage, port transfers, rail yards, and inter-facility shuttling) allows electrification and autonomy to succeed immediately. Achieving True End-to-End "Dock-to-Dock" Autonomy: Highway-only autonomous systems leave complex yard maneuvers and loading dock connections to human drivers; an integrated tractor-trailer platform with a universal "lock & twist" interface can navigate yards, haul 40' international or 53' domestic containers, and dock without human intervention. Deploying Explainable VLA AI Over Rigid HD Maps: Replacing expensive, brittle HD pre-mapping with Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation models and 360° sensor arrays (cameras, LiDAR, radar) enables vehicles to fine-tune to new facilities in days while generating plain-language, auditable logs for every maneuver. Escaping Fuel Volatility and Carbon Costs: Operating an all-electric Class 8 powertrain with a 200-mile range protects fleets from volatile diesel pricing and rising engine maintenance while helping operators meet zero-emission mandates and secure state incentives. Building a Purpose-Built Platform Instead of Retrofitting: Retrofitting legacy diesel rigs with autonomous kits retains structural inefficiency and legacy failure points; designing a clean-sheet autonomous EV from the ground up delivers the necessary system redundancy, field safety, and operational reliability required for commercial adoption.

Who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews? The author never identifies himself—yet the letter leaves behind a compelling trail of internal clues, manuscript evidence, and early-church testimony.

You don't always need more followers, more leads, or more customers to grow your business. Sometimes your next level is sitting right in front of you—in the people already paying attention. It's time to look at how you're serving the audience you already have, what they're repeatedly asking for, what happens after they buy, and where you can create a deeper, more valuable experience without constantly chasing more.

Key Takeaways: Scaling Logistics Innovation at Descartes Systems Group In "Scaling Logistics Innovation at Descartes Systems Group", Joe Lynch and Dan Cicerchi, the General Manager of Transportation Management Solutions at Descartes Systems Group, discuss the strategic integration of trustworthy AI to enhance existing core logistics technology and solve practical pain points across the global supply chain. Trust First: AI adoption in logistics must be built on governance and trust, using frameworks like NIST to ensure data security and accountability. AI Augments, Doesn't Replace: AI is a powerful enhancer for core systems (TMS, visibility), not a standalone replacement. Its primary role is to improve efficiency. Focus on Practical Pain Points: Start AI implementation by targeting tedious manual tasks (e.g., check calls, data entry, carrier onboarding) for rapid, measurable ROI. Stability Over Startups: Partnering with existing, integrated tech vendors (like Descartes) ensures greater stability, expertise, and roadmap alignment than relying on new AI-only startups. Audit Your Current Tech: Before investing in new AI, ensure you are fully utilizing the latest features and integrations of your current mission-critical systems. Build Trust with Staff: Overcome internal resistance by layering AI into current workflows and establishing clear performance baselines (ROI) before deployment. Enhance What Works: The path to resilience is through strategically integrating AI into proven, existing workflows step-by-step, not by chasing every new technology trend.

The campaign had raised $967,774 in 12 days, with a $1 million stretch goal approaching. The collection includes three new books - "Fear Eternal," "Pyres of Bedlam," and "The Dark Descents" - featuring curated out-of-print stories and black and white illustrations. Participants discussed the campaign's structure, pricing tiers, and exclusive features, with concerns about crowdfunding reliability and shipping costs. The group also explored what fans would like to see in the new releases, including more short stories in the style of the Books of Blood and potential film adaptations. The discussion included details about special editions, autograph options, and the possibility of a mystery feature hidden within the books that would be revealed during a streaming event with Clive Barker.   Clive Barker Kickstarter Campaign Update The group discussed the successful Kickstarter campaign for Clive Barker's Library of the Dead project, which has raised $967,774 in 12 days with 6 days remaining when the episode airs. The campaign includes a set of three special edition compilation books, and there is a mystery stretch goal when the project reaches $1 million. The podcast hosts also announced that They Live will be the next commentary discussion, chosen over The Blob as the runner-up. Clive Barker Book Collection Updates The group discussed updates to a Clive Barker book collection project, including expanded content and improved paper quality for the hardcover editions. They confirmed that the $500,000 stretch goal would include additional prologue and illustrations in all five books, though there was some confusion about whether these would be Clive Barker's illustrations. The discussion also covered potential stories to include in the curated collection, including both previously published works and new stories, with participants expressing hope that the collection would focus more on horror-themed content rather than erotic or comedic stories. Clive Barker Crowdfunding Success Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's recent crowdfunding success, where he raised nearly a million dollars in less than a week for new book publications. They discussed various Barker-related works including "The Scarlet Gospels," "Infernal Parade," and "Tortured Souls," with Don suggesting that Phil and Sarah are likely curating complete stories rather than fragments for the new collection. The participants agreed that this success would likely attract Hollywood attention and potentially lead to bidding wars for film rights, given the previous complications with Barker's intellectual property rights. Clive Barker Publications Discussion The group discussed upcoming Clive Barker publications, including three books: Fear Eternal, Pyres of Bedlam, and The Dark Descents. They noted that the first two releases are already finished manuscripts being edited for printing, while the third is still in development. The participants expressed interest in seeing more artwork and poetry included in future publications, with some suggesting that shorter stories from the Books of Blood could be adapted into a Netflix series format. They also discussed the success of the Candyman film adaptation and how execution is key to successful adaptations of Barker's work. Clive Barker's "Library of the Dead The group discussed the naming and details of Clive Barker's new release called "Library of the Dead," speculating that the title connects thematically to the "Books of Blood" series and the character Simon McNeil. They explored the special features of higher-tier editions, including vegan leather covers and unique tactile elements, while discussing the practical challenges of storing and displaying these collectibles. The conversation also touched on the benefits of this release strategy for attracting Hollywood attention and publishers, as well as concerns about crowdfunding trust and the potential limited nature of the special editions. Clive Barker Crowdfunding Discussion The group discussed a crowdfunding campaign related to Clive Barker's work, with participants expressing some skepticism but noting that the authenticity could be verified through existing materials. Jesse, who joined from Patreon, shared that they were interested in seeing a return to horror in the vein of Barker's previous collections like Books of Blood or Tortured Souls. The discussion touched on potential formats for the upcoming "Library of the Dead" project, with comparisons to other horror story collections like R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Clive Barker Book Cover Design The group discussed the cover art for Clive Barker's new book series, with Jose highlighting how the three book covers create a connected triptych design featuring a flow of souls. Don explained that the artistic theme was deliberately chosen to honor Barker's work and connect to historical art motifs, though he expressed some initial concerns about using a different artist instead of Barker's own artwork. The discussion also covered various funding tiers for the project, including a backer group video call with Clive and higher-tier options for one-on-one meetings, with Don revealing he had purchased the highest tier to secure autographed copies. Clive Barker Book Project Planning The group discussed details about a Clive Barker book project on Kickstarter, including confirmation that the books will be sewn with head and tail bands and deckled edges. They noted that the $149 tier includes an invitation to a streaming event with Clive Barker, though they questioned whether it would be suitable for creating a podcast episode. The discussion covered shipping timelines, with higher-tier books expected in March and lower tiers in May, and concerns about potential Canadian order issues due to new tariffs. The group also analyzed the pricing structure, comparing it to other luxury editions and noting that while the autograph tier requires $1,000, it includes additional benefits like a bookcase, and the $2,000 tier for 52 lettered editions sold out quickly. Clive Barker Kickstarter Campaign Discussion The group discussed a Clive Barker Kickstarter campaign that has raised over $900,000, with participants expressing excitement about the project and potential future releases. Don raised questions about a special hand-drawn illustration offered at the $2,000 tier, wondering if backers could specify the image content. The participants discussed the mystery reward mentioned in the campaign, which involves clues hidden in the books that will be revealed during an invitation-only streaming event with the author. The group also mentioned Phil and Sarah's work on editing and curating the project, and expressed hope that the success of this campaign would lead to more Clive Barker publications in the future. Clive Barker Kickstarter Campaign Discussion The group discussed their excitement about Clive Barker's new Kickstarter campaign for "Library of the Dead," noting that the first editions and exclusive features would only be available to backers during the campaign. They reviewed the FAQ which confirmed that while retail versions might be released later, they would not include the exclusive collectibles or features offered to Kickstarter backers. The team also discussed their upcoming content plans, including a delayed 1987 commentary on Angel Heart and a Book Club discussion of "Blood Revelations," while expressing gratitude to their Patreon supporters and sponsors.

On a past Bittersweet Moment, Tiffany remembered accidently smearing a bit of lipstick on the doorframe of one of the buildings she lived in her first months in Rome, and how that red streak is still there, 18 years later. And how, somehow, every time she sees it, it reminds her of her earliest days in Rome, almost an "I was here" moment. This episode from our archive is Inspired by this idea. Katy and Tiffany talk about other moments in their life that they have felt a similar sensation, how common that might be, and why we sometimes feel the need to leave parts of ourselves behind when we leave a place. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

You're Not Who You Think You Are Who the f*ck am I? That was the question that dropped into my head while I was sitting with my puzzle book. And what started as a bit of quiet thinking took me somewhere I didn't expect. We often confuse who we are with what we do. I'm a therapist. I'm a parent. I'm a partner. I'm successful. I'm anxious. I'm confident. But those are roles, behaviours and experiences. They aren't necessarily our identity. So who are we underneath all of that? I started thinking about Superman, Spider-Man, Batman and Wonder Woman. They all have different identities, different roles and different ways of showing up in the world, but underneath the costume there's something deeper: values, purpose, a calling and a direction. And perhaps that's true for us too. In this episode, I explore identity, self-discovery, personal growth, purpose and finding your North Star, along with a simple process for meeting the different versions of yourself and asking one rather interesting question: Which one is pretending to be you? I also share how my puzzle book has become a surprisingly powerful tool for thinking, asking better questions, exploring the unconscious mind and finding my way through change. This isn't me teaching you who you are. It's me sharing what I'm discovering about myself and inviting you to explore alongside me. Because maybe we're not here to find ourselves once and for all. Maybe we're here to keep discovering who we're becoming. Enjoy every heartbeat. What You'll Explore Why we can confuse our roles and behaviours with our identity The difference between what you do and who you are How self-discovery can reveal parts of ourselves we've overlooked Why values and purpose may matter more than rigid goals Finding your calling and personal direction My North Star approach to personal development A simple process for exploring the different versions of yourself How a puzzle book can help uncover thoughts, ideas and unconscious insights Why leaving a question unfinished can sometimes be surprisingly useful How to use curiosity and reflection for personal growth A Question For You Which version of you is pretending to be you? And perhaps the more interesting question: Who's noticing them all? Don't forget to share or should I say REMEMBER to share this episode https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/488-youre-not-who-you-think-you-are And if you want to me recording this episode https://youtu.be/B1Ci7953cME Shine Brightly

In "Scale or Fail: Navigating Trade Volatility for Emerging Brands", Joe Lynch speaks with President and CEO of the Americas region of GEODIS, Laura Ritchey, about how emerging brands can navigate trade volatility, manage inventory, and build scalable, resilient supply chains. About Laura Ritchey Laura Ritchey joined GEODIS in July 2025 as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Americas region. Laura is responsible for overseeing the region's freight forwarding, contract logistics and transportation business units along with engineering and technology, IT, ProVenture (U.S.-based subsidiary of GEODIS focusing on industrial real estate) and Material Handling Resources (one of the country's leading material handling distributors owned by GEODIS). In total, Laura oversees GEODIS Americas' expansive operations including nearly 20,000 employees and more than 230 sites across eight countries. Laura brings over 30 years of experience to GEODIS, with 15 focused on supply chain management in both retail and third-party logistics. Laura began her career in finance before transitioning to supply chain operations, including sourcing, distribution and strategic transformation. Prior to her current role, Laura was most recently CEO at Radial, Inc., a leader in e-commerce fulfillment solutions, where she drove revenue growth and profitability through operational excellence. At Radial, she led the North American P&L for a $1.4B e-commerce logistics division, responsible for relationships with over 170 clients across four service lines. Before joining Radial, she held leadership positions at L Brands, FullBeauty Brands and Centric Brands. Laura is on the Dean's Advisory Council at Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University and is an active board member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's Nashville Branch. Additionally, she is actively involved with C200 whose mission is to inspire, educate, support and advance current and future women leaders. Laura earned her J.D., MBA and bachelor's degree from The Ohio State University. Additionally, Laura is accredited as a certified public accountant and admitted to the bar in Ohio. About GEODIS GEODIS is a leading global logistics provider acknowledged for its expertise across all aspects of the supply chain. As a growth partner to its clients, GEODIS specializes in four lines of business: Global Freight Forwarding, Global Contract Logistics, Distribution & Express Transport, and European Road Network. The Group operates a global network spanning nearly 170 countries and 48,000 employees. In 2025, GEODIS generated €10.6 billion in revenue. GEODIS is a company owned by SNCF group. Key Takeaways: Scale or Fail: Navigating Trade Volatility for Emerging Brands Beware the "10K Order Trap" During Rapid Growth: Scaling operations from 1,000 to 10,000 monthly orders often breaks a business before demand stalls. Emerging brands must build strong foundational supply chain building blocks early—such as maintaining clean master data (accurate dimensions and weights) and choosing a 3PL capable of global growth—to avoid costly operational failures when reaching inflection points. Adopt a Hybrid Inventory Strategy to Balance JIT and JIC: Shifting strictly between "Just in Time" (JIT) and "Just in Case" (JIC) risks either stockouts or trapped working capital. A balanced, hybrid approach—keeping adequate stock of fast-moving core basics while tightly controlling slow-moving seasonal items—helps protect cash flow without sacrificing availability. Re-evaluate the "Amazon Effect" and Recommerce to Protect Margins: High-speed, free shipping creates an illusion of necessity that drives up last-mile costs. Brands should focus on order delivery certainty over pure speed while implementing circular economy strategies (recommerce) to rehabilitate and resell returned apparel, which often recovers up to 95% of inventory value. Mitigate Sourcing Risks Beyond Single-Factory Bets: Diversifying supply chains requires going all the way back to raw material inputs rather than simply relocating assembly plants. Navigating evolving global tariffs requires nearshoring flexibility, dual-sourcing critical SKUs, and re-orchestrating supply chain flows across regional hubs. Understand True Landed Costs to Avoid Margin Shock: Delegating freight forwarding and customs clearance entirely to overseas manufacturers often leads to hidden markups and supply chain delays. Leveraging an end-to-end global provider with licensed customs brokerage capabilities ensures clear visibility into total landed costs and regulatory compliance. Leverage Global Scale with Curated, End-to-End Execution: Supported by a global network spanning nearly 170 countries, over 48,000 employees, and €10.6 billion (USD $12.35 billion) in revenue (2025), GEODIS provides emerging and established brands with an agile, end-to-end "launchpad for global growth" across contract logistics, freight forwarding, and transportation. Avoid the "Set It and Forget It" Supply Chain Mindset: Ongoing volatility, regulatory shifts, and geopolitical friction require continuous evaluation of supply chain networks. Taking a cautious, practical approach to emerging technologies like AI (for labor forecasting and route planning) ensures operational stability while safeguarding proprietary data.

In "The Collision of Capital, Technology & Logistics", Joe Lynch speaks with Founder & Managing Partner of Gamma Point Advisory, Joey Milstein, about how the intersection of private equity, artificial intelligence, and operational execution is reshaping the future of supply chain M&A. About Joey Milstein Joey Milstein has spent more than 35 years inside the machinery of global trade, leading commercial organizations for ocean carriers, freight forwarders, and venture-backed logistics technology companies before moving to the advisory side. Having built businesses, sold technology, raised capital, and led growth from inside the industry, he brings an operator's perspective to every transaction. As Founder & Managing Partner of Gamma Point Advisory, Joseph advises founders on sell-side M&A and guides private equity firms, institutional investors, and strategic acquirers on buy-side strategy, growth, and logistics technology. He is known for connecting the worlds of operations, innovation, and capital, helping clients identify opportunities others miss and navigate one of the world's most complex industries with clarity and conviction. Joseph holds both Bachelor's and Master's degrees from New York University and serves as a strategic advisor to multiple logistics technology companies. About Gamma Point Advisory Gamma Point Advisory is a boutique M&A and strategic advisory firm focused exclusively on transportation, supply chain, and logistics technology. Unlike generalist investment banks or consultants, Gamma Point combines deep operating experience with transaction expertise, giving clients advice grounded in how the industry actually works. The firm advises founder-led businesses on sell-side M&A, capital formation, and strategic growth, while providing buy-side advisory to private equity firms, institutional investors, and strategic acquirers sourcing, evaluating, and executing investments across the logistics ecosystem. Gamma Point also works closely with emerging logistics technology companies to accelerate commercialization and market adoption. Gamma Point sits at the intersection of three worlds that rarely speak the same language: operators who move freight, innovators building the future, and the capital that funds it. Key Takeaways: The Collision of Capital, Technology & Logistics In "The Collision of Capital, Technology & Logistics", Joe Lynch speaks with Founder & Managing Partner of Gamma Point Advisory, Joey Milstein, about how the intersection of private equity, artificial intelligence, and operational execution is reshaping the future of supply chain M&A. The Intersection of Three Disconnected Worlds: Capital markets, technology providers, and logistics operators routinely "talk past each other" at industry conferences. Sustainable progress requires a "translator" who understands the nuances of operational realities, deal structures, and true software utility. The "Silver Tsunami" Driving Consolidation: Hundreds of healthy, lower mid-market logistics companies (drayage, family-owned forwarders, customs brokers) are reaching an inflection point. Owners in their 60s and 70s without generational succession plans are seeking capital infusions, mergers, or buyouts to exit. Prep Work Directly Impacts Valuations: Founders often lose millions in prospective sale value by going to market unprepared. Spending 3–6 months to audit operations, clean up balance sheets, remove unutilized assets ("dead wood"), and document institutional knowledge transforms potential multiples from 4x to 6x EBITDA. Private Equity's "Buy-and-Build" Playbook: Private equity interest in logistics—especially freight brokerage—is accelerating. PE firms look for established "platform" companies to serve as a base, then execute a "buy-and-build" strategy by acquiring smaller complementary add-ons to build scale rapidly over a 3-to-5-year horizon. Adopting Technology to Boost Valuations: Tech adoption is no longer optional for legacy operators. Implementing scalable, transferable software or modern AI tools directly increases a firm's exit valuation multiple, whereas sticking to outdated manual processes or disconnected legacy tech depresses market interest. Evaluating "Real AI" vs. Expensive Demos: With capital drying up for speculative "digital brokers" that subsidized freight rates without long-term profitability, investors and buyers now focus on technology that delivers measurable operational productivity, security, and lower overhead rather than slick, superficial software demos. Culture and Team Depth Outweigh Simple Financials: Successful acquisitions require balancing human dynamics and cultural fit alongside pure financial metrics. Founders must build institutional depth rather than centralizing all sales, financial, and operational expertise within a single leader.

When a stranger online started badmouthing Rome, Tiffany's reaction was viceral. It was almost as if someone had insulted her mother. On this week's new episode, Tiffany and Katy chat about what it means to love a city so much that you are sometimes blinded to its faults. They also touch on why, despite popular opinion online, it's perfectly okay to romaticize living in Italy.

"Things go awry as the Gang travels to Atlantic City for a charity benefit. While Frank, Dee and Mac try to survive in the woods, Dennis and Charlie hitch a ride to the city and have the night of their lives." -Original Air Date: 12/2/2010- This week we're talking about The Gang Gets Stuck in the Woods, more detail into just how shady of a guy Dennis is, how to stretch your stomach for competitive eating, Tom Sizemore being such a good actor that it makes us think of Wayne's World 2 and running out of excuses for why Dennis still has a flip phone.

What is wonder? And how does it affect your life? Perhaps most importantly, what can we do to harness it? In this episode from our archives, we are joined by Andrea Scher, author of Wonder Seeker: 52 Ways to Wake Up Your Creativity and Find Your Joy, a playful, practical, and effective guide to finding wonder and joy in your daily life. Andrea's passion and life's work is to cultivate a sense of wonder, and to help others do the same. She discusses how her need for wonder has grown out of her innate sensitivity, anxiety, fear, and past trauma, and how actively scanning for the good things in life can help her let go of anxiety and choose joy instead. Andrea explains how life-changing it can be to simply scan the world for wonder instead of danger, as we are biologically wired to do. How asking yourself "How can I make this more fun and easy?" will transform even the dullest of tasks. She also talks about how being open to wonder can even make you a kinder person. Find Andrea on Instagram. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

ISBW 22.17 So much to talk about! Worldcon is looming, and we take listener questions. How do you handle writing after a long break? What books do you recommend for writing fight scenes? Books by Alan Baxter and Marie Brennan are mentioned Mur is reading Page One to Done. Mur also has silly notebook problems that no one else seems to have. The HWA sent a ridiculous newsletter out and we are all seeing the fallout. See Chuck Wendig's take on it, and HWA's response is in the comments. The lesson of this episode is the classic, if no one buys your thing, it is probably because THEY DO NOT WANT THE THING, not because they want to spite you. Authors have many reasons to hate AI that have nothing to do with "gatekeeping."

In "Eliminating EDI Headaches: Managed Integration vs. Ticket Queues", Joe Lynch speaks with Co-Founder and Leader of Atadex, Mitch Bernet, about how fully managed EDI and API integrations eliminate operational bottlenecks, speed up customer onboarding, and drive supply chain profitability. About Mitch Bernet Mitch Bernet is the Co-Founder and Leader of Atadex, bringing decades of supply chain expertise and executive leadership to the role. Raised in Cleveland, Ohio, he earned a degree from Providence College, an MBA in Finance from Creighton University, and launched his career at Union Pacific Railroad before taking senior management roles at Conrail, APL Logistics, and Hub Group. A seasoned entrepreneur, he went on to found Integra Logistics in 2003 and co-found Coyote Logistics in 2008—growing the Atlanta-based business through its eventual acquisition by UPS—before taking a brief hiatus and returning to the industry to co-found Atadex. Married to Rosanna for 35 years, he is the proud father of two children, Matthew and Katherine, who graduated from Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia, respectively. About Atadex Atadex is a full-service EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and API integration provider exclusively focused on the supply chain and logistics industry. The company was founded to deliver fully managed, fast, low-cost data integration—handling everything end to end so clients don't need in-house EDI expertise and positioning itself as an alternative to legacy EDI vendors, self-serve platforms, and traditional professional services. Atadex connects any TMS or WMS (including Blue Yonder, Trimble, Manhattan, Turvo, Shipwell, TAI, and McLeod) to any trading partner, supporting all major formats (X12, EDIFACT, API, XML, CSV, JSON) and transaction types. The company processes over 50 million messages per month and has completed more than 5,000 go-lives, pairing each client with a dedicated, US-based account manager. Its goal is to fundamentally change how data integration is managed and serviced, helping clients improve productivity, performance, and profitability. Target customers include carriers and 3PLs with complex partner networks, warehouses and 4PLs seeking a fully outsourced EDI department, and TMS/WMS providers wanting to offer integration without building their own delivery teams. Atadex also offers AssetMaps (fleet consolidation) and Freight Board Central (freight board integration). Key Takeaways: Eliminating EDI Headaches: Managed Integration vs. Ticket Queues In "Eliminating EDI Headaches: Managed Integration vs. Ticket Queues", Joe Lynch speaks with Co-Founder and Leader of Atadex, Mitch Bernet, about how fully managed EDI and API integrations eliminate operational bottlenecks, speed up customer onboarding, and drive supply chain profitability. EDI as a Profitability Driver, Not Just an IT Task: Data integration directly impacts the bottom line by eliminating manual data entry, reducing human error, and allowing logistics staff to manage up to 25% more volume per person without adding head count. Overcoming System Incompatibility via "Universal Translation": Supply chain tech remains heavily fragmented between legacy systems (like mainframes or EDI X12) and modern RESTful APIs. Atadex acts as a universal translator, mapping and converting any data format into whatever spec a trading partner requires. Speed to Integration Equals Speed to Revenue: Onboarding delays can stall new customer relationships for months and destroy projected margins. Rapid implementation and proactive partner coordination directly protect customer retention and protect sales commissions. Fully Managed Service vs. Anonymous Ticket Queues: Logistics operates on extreme urgency where every minor issue feels like a major emergency. Relying on dedicated, domain-expert project managers who proactively catch failed transmissions beats putting in tickets with traditional tech providers. Decoupling Customer Support from Technical Engineering: Mirroring the operational structure pioneer Jeff Silver used at Coyote Logistics, separating client-facing project managers from back-end technical mappers ensures seamless communication and higher overall customer satisfaction. Transparent Pricing Over Complex VAN Fees: Traditional EDI value-added networks (VANs) often obscure costs behind per-kilo-character charges. Simplifying billing to clear, per-message rates provides total transparency so companies can calculate precise integration costs per trading partner. Practical AI Integration with a "People-First" Foundation: While AI tools (like Claude) are being developed internally to speed up complex mapping and protocol translation, technology will supplement—rather than replace—the critical human element required to support high-stakes logistics operations.

You Down With YPP?Episode Description:I break down YouTube's latest changes to its Partner Program, including doubled watch-hour requirements and higher Shorts monetization thresholds ahead of the February 2027 deadline. I also bring in YouTube expert Adam Ivey's take on why the real story isn't necessarily the new criteria, and I share my own channel's numbers so you can set realistic expectations for your own YouTube journey.Then the AI kids stop by for story time as I take a look at Spotify's decade-long history of making big podcasting promises—and quietly failing to deliver on them. From a scrapped hosting partnership to a Creator Fund that never paid a cent, there's plenty to unpack.Plus, Ray Ortega drops by with the shortest—and most accurate—definition of “podcast” you'll ever hear.YouTube Partner Program (YPP) changes, effective February 1, 2027Watch-hour requirement doubles: 4,000 to 8,000 hours in the past year (new creators only; existing YPP members are grandfathered in)Shorts monetization threshold doubles: 10 million to 20 million qualified views in 90 days to get in, then a rolling 10 million views every 90 days to maintain earningsFull monetization tier: 1,000 subscribers, $100 payment thresholdLower tier (500 subscribers): unlocks YouTube Shopping (affiliate) and channel memberships, requires 3,000 watch hours or 3 million Shorts viewsThe real story behind the changesAdam Ivy's stat: 67% of YouTube creators make less than $10,000/yearYouTube's stated pivot: broadening revenue beyond ads, with bonuses for YouTube Shopping, brand-deal incentives, and trend-based earning boostsYouTube says it expects to pay creators more in 2027 than 2026: money is shifting, not shrinkingSteve Stewart (Podcast Editor Academy): "Don't just sell your audience to sponsors, sell sponsors on how great your audience is"Is YouTube worth it?

Last week we aired a fascinating and inspiring conversation with Julian Shapiro-Barnum about his new book How to Grow up without Becoming a Grown-up and his strategies for resisting the pull of what can often end up being a constrictive and joyless adulthood. Today, Tiffany and Katy continue the conversation. They wonder: have they managed to remain childlike (or hey, even childish) despite the fact that they have entered long since adulthood? And does having your own kids keep you young, or does it make you even more of a grown up? What can we learn from kids about staying young-at-heart? Tiffany's 11-year-old son Aurelio joins us at the end of the episode to share his thoughts. Make sure to listen to last week's episode with Julian Shapiro-Barnum if you haven't yet. ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: Our 4th annual Bittersweet Life Roman Adventure is taking place this year from 1 to 7 November 2026!
