In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview serial entrepreneur Eric McHugh once again!Eric dives into his latest venture, dataing.io, an AI-powered matchmaking app built to challenge the typical swipe-based dating model. He shares how the Web3 space supports his builder mindset and leads to the creation of Hold On Labs, a platform that launches products focused on meaningful connection. With dating.io, the goal is to create intentional, high-quality matches using AI-generated personality tags based on users' social media and digital activity. Unlike Tinder or Hinge, which aim to keep users engaged and swiping, dating.io focuses on helping people find lasting matches and offers a “relationship butler” that helps couples with date planning, gift ideas, and relationship support.Eric also shares their go-to-market strategy, which focuses on building local communities by starting with Southern California colleges through campus events, partnerships, and free photography incentives. The team is currently focused on gaining users, with a goal of reaching 10,000 in Los Angeles before expanding further. Monetization is not the immediate priority, but future plans include earning a share from date bookings and offering targeted brand placements. Eric points out that AI is not just a trendy term for them; it powers the platform's ability to understand behavior and preferences, leading to smarter and more accurate matches.Be intrigued by Eric McHugh's pursuit of meaningful tech, smarter matchmaking, and the vibes behind dating.io in this episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:dataing.iohttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/dataing/id6478563884Eric McHugh's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ericdouglasmchugh/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

Episode #162: Award-winning actress Hannah Barefoot joins us for an insightful conversation filled with warmth and inspiration. Celebrating her 20th wedding anniversary, Hannah shares the joys and challenges of motherhood, from raising a teenage son dabbling in day trading to nurturing her creative spirit over a decade in Los Angeles. Together, we explore the magic of embracing each moment, balancing family life with artistic endeavors, and the unique quirks that make our married last names a source of humor and curiosity. Hannah offers a rare glimpse into the world of actors who thrive without the spotlight of household fame. Through candid reflections, she discusses the resilience needed to maintain a successful career in acting, the crucial role of agents and managers, and the power of self-improvement. We turn the spotlight on the importance of separating self-worth from professional outcomes, using unexpected metaphors to shed light on resilience and adaptability in the industry, moving beyond the "starving artist" stereotype. As we continue our engaging chat, we journey through themes of resilience and healing, inspired by the making of the "Wyoming Christmas Carol" film. Set against the stunning backdrop of Cody, Wyoming, this heartwarming project weaves together family, music, and second chances. We delve into our shared experiences of adversity and healing, drawing inspiration from the Japanese art of kintsugi to celebrate imperfection and growth. Listeners are invited to engage with the film project and find empowerment in their own paths of healing and contribution.

At a time when theaters everywhere are competing with an ever-expanding array of at-home entertainment and struggling to fill seats, some artists are asking not what plays to produce but how to produce them differently. Graham Wetterhahn's answer was to found his own company, After Hours Theatre Company in Los Angeles. With a background that spans traditional theater, theme parks and digital media, he has spent recent years creating “immersive-enhanced” productions that invite audiences not just to watch a story unfold but to step directly into it.In After Hours' 2018 production of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,” for instance, audience members were admitted to a fictional 1960s psychiatric hospital and cast as patients, free to explore hidden rooms and interact with characters for a full hour before the scripted performance even began. The production cleverly merged immersive design with a fully staged, licensed play, creating an experience that theatergoers of all stripes — and with varying levels of comfort with the notion of participation — could embrace. And it worked, selling out night after night and drawing in an audience that was overwhelmingly under 40.After Hours has gone on not only to produce a broad array of successful immersive-enhanced productions but also to organize the Los Angeles Immersive Invitational, a collegial competition that brings together the city's most adventurous immersive storytellers under one roof and gives them 48 hours to create a new 10-minute piece based on a single prompt. The L.A. Invitational just completed its fifth iteration, and After Hours is now producing Invitationals in other American cities.In this episode, Graham shares why he believes After Hours' hybrid experiences may hold the key to live theater's future, how the company has built a sustainable — if still scrappy — for-profit model, and what his journey has taught him about turning casual eventgoers into passionate theater fans.https://www.grahamwetterhahn.com/https://www.afterhourstheatre.com/

If you've read comics from the Hivemind, aka Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, then you know their specialty. Everyone goes to therapy! Whether you're Peter Quill, Bucky Barnes, or Brad and Lisa Gullickson, if you're in a Hivemind comic, or reading a Hivemind comic, you're entering some kind of therapeutic discussion. Kelly and Lanzing put their characters on the couch, asking them some tough questions and listening to their answers. The results are always compelling, especially if we examine their recent run on Marvel's Thunderbolts. Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing recently finished their time on Thunderbolts, wrapping up their even larger Bucky Barnes story, with Doomstrike, out now as a five-issue series. As part of our San Diego Comic-Con Internationalcoverage, happening all week long on Comic Book Couples Counseling, we put the Hivemind in session with our particular brand of armchair psychology. The result, we hope, is an engaging, thorough exploration of who Bucky Barnes was, is, and will be. Not to mention all the other beautiful “heroes” brooding their way through the Thunderbolts team. We discuss their original plan for Bucky Barnes and how that evolved throughout Thunderbolts and the One World Under Doom event. We consider how Bucky's time as The Revolution parallels Captain America's time as Nomad, and why the character needed to become a cause rather than simply existing as a fist...or a trigger finger. It's a heavy conversation at times, but also one packed with joy and excitement. Just like their Thunderbolts comic. Thunderbolts: Doomstrike issues one through five are now available from Marvel Comics. They're written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, illustrated by Tommaso Biachi, colored by Yen Nitro, and lettered by Joe Sabino. Make sure you're following Collin Kelly on Blue Sky and Instagram, and Jackson Lanzing on Blue Sky and Instagram.

This new shared universe line begins with Godzilla #1 by Tim Seeley and Nikola Čižmešija.

Winters and artist Leomacs. Do you remember the work of acclaimed novelist Benjamin J. Carp? Across more than 44 novels and hundreds of short stories, Carp established himself as a counterculture revolutionary. He died in 1982, after years of Southern Californian excess finally claimed his life...until 2025...when Benjamin Carp awakens, alive, in a burned-out motel room on the fringes of Los Angeles.

Send us a textSasha's story is the kind that feels almost made-up, except it's entirely real. She began writing music at the age of just ten years old, driven by a quiet determination and a natural gift for melody and lyrics. Her big break came in the most unexpected of ways: through a Reddit post that went viral when she was only 18. In the comments, she casually dropped a link to her SoundCloud… and the rest is history. Soon after, the very same music executives who discovered Bruno Mars came calling.From there, Sasha moved to Los Angeles and began carving out a name for herself, not just as a recording artist, but as a songwriting powerhouse. She's penned hits for some of the biggest names in pop, including Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, and Camila Cabello. And when she steps into the spotlight herself, her music is raw, introspective, and unflinchingly honest, earning her a devoted following and critical acclaim.But behind the music is a family, a foundation, and a mother who helped nurture her creative spark from the beginning.In this episode, Noreen joins us to talk about Sasha's early years, the surprising road to success, and what it's like to watch your child find their voice—and share it with the world.

In this QHHT Hypnosis session, we enter those realms in a vivid way . My client travels through his past life journey to a realm of Fairies, Pixies, Dryads, Dwarves, Dragon Folk, Elfins, and even Vampires. (Yes, a race of vampires revealed themselves for the first time in one of my sessions)This regression shows us a dimension where ancient magic coexists with advanced technology. It's a fusion of mythical timelines, and off-world civilizations. Honestly, this session felt like a cross between Lord of the Rings and a high-frequency sci-fi soul awakening. I'd love to see this on Netflix! My client explored three incarnations, each unfolding different aspects of his soul journey, mission on Earth, and soul contracts with these mystical beings. I'll be sharing each lifetime as a separate episode, so stay tuned for the full timeline.I absolutely loved guiding him through this deep and sacred experience—and I hope it activates something powerful in you as well.Thank you for listening.

It's no secret; there is an epidemic of loneliness in the United States. In recent years, about one in two Americans reported experiencing loneliness. Today, we welcome David Bosnak, the CEO of Attune Media Labs, an organization that combats loneliness and anxiety with empathetic AI companions that enhance human connections through state-of-the-art technology. David began his career as an electrical engineering undergraduate with a passion for storytelling, eventually moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting and writing. Blending his engineering background with his storytelling skills, David launched Attune Media Labs, where he now focuses on leveraging the power of emerging technologies. In an era of disconnection, David's work emphasizes technology's potential for positive social impact while tackling the challenges of building ethical boundaries in AI development, especially within the creative fields and copyright considerations. In today's conversation, David shares insights from his recent book, AI for Your Real Life, a practical guide empowering readers to harness generative AI tools like ChatGPT in their everyday lives. In the book, David suggests that AI should be viewed as a tool that enhances creativity and problem-solving rather than a replacement for human ingenuity. He underscores the necessity of ongoing dialogue about AI ethics, particularly as technology continues to evolve and influence various industries. Our conversation is packed with insights, laughter, and a few puns—because, let's face it, who doesn't love a good dad joke to ease their anxiety?Listeners interested in receiving a free month's trial of Attune Media Labs' emotional support companion, MiM, should email David here using “NOT REAL ART” for the subject line.

Ariel Kaye is the founder and CEO of Parachute, the Los Angeles-based home essentials brand she launched in 2014. With no prior retail experience, Ariel transformed a simple observation about the lack of quality, non-toxic bedding into a multi-million dollar company that has redefined the direct-to-consumer home goods space. Before founding Parachute, she worked in marketing and media, experiences that proved invaluable in building a brand known for its storytelling and customer-centric approach. Today, Parachute operates retail stores across the country and has partnered with major retailers like Target, all while maintaining its mission of bringing comfort and quality into people's homes. In this episode we discuss: Why "I'll figure it out" is a legitimate business strategy – How embracing uncertainty and learning as you go can be more powerful than having all the answers upfront The transformative power of belief – How one friend's confidence in her abilities changed everything, and why believing in others (and telling them so) can literally change lives Why asking for help is your secret weapon – How to overcome the fear that not knowing everything makes you weak, and why the best leaders are the ones who know what they don't know How to handle rejection without losing momentum – Practical strategies for dealing with hundreds of "nos" from investors while staying focused on your vision The art of progress over perfection – Why small, consistent actions often matter more than grand gestures, especially for high achievers who get stuck in perfectionist cycles -- Check out the t-shirts for the podcast: https://www.bonfire.com/to-the-top-4/    

0:00 ... Show Open ... Ross welcomes the panel and makes his dedication of show #166 to Jonathan Kuminga and Russell Westbrook who both shot just 66% from the free throw line last season.  Bruce registers his disappointment with Ross's choice and suggests someone else. 1:54 ... The Charlotte Hornets are the NBA Summer League Champions ... Rookie Kon Knueppel led the way for the Hornets and we all learned the proper pronounciation of his first and last name.  The future looks promising for the Hornets after a string of losing seasons, but health will be a huge issue for the "Bugs." 7:53 ... Bruce wants to give some love to Bronny James, who looked like a different player in the Summer League and could be poised to do well this season. 9:04 .... The WNBA All Star Weekend made all kinds of news, especially with their warmup T-Shirts that said "Pay Us What You Owe Us."  The crew examines why the players in the "W" deserve more money and make suggestions on who should pay it. 13:09 ... As for the WNBA All Star game itself ..... it was a big bummer ... Rookie All-Star Paige Bueckers and ABC's Elle Duncan both trashed it on the air for the lack of defense and effort .... OUCH. 15:29 ... Bradley Beal certainly got paid and also got a ticket out of Phoenix to Los Angeles.  His departure from the Valley leaves lots of wreckage behind as the Suns will need to stretch $97 million of his salary over the next 5 seasons, causing a major financial hurdle for a team that needs more talent.  As for the Clippers, they have a lot of old dudes and are a textbook example of a "Win Now" team.  And with the addition of 40 year old Chris Paul, the clock is definitely ticking on the veteran team's "window." 22:00 ... With all the old guys on the Clippers, the crew suggests sponsors whose logos can appear on the uniform jerseys of the team.  Everyone took a shot and Ross's choice of "Depends" adult diapers was the clear winner among the crew. 23:40 ... 35 year old Damian Lillard is returning to the Portland Trailblazers and with the recent acquisition of another 35 year old guard, Jrue Holiday, the 48 Minutes crew is scratching their collective heads as to what the strategy of the team will be.  Does it mean that Scoot Henderson is on shaky ground with the Blazers? 28:56 ... Ross leads a discussion on Giannis and whether any of these moves might make him appreciate being in Milwaukee. 31:42 ... Former Celtic Marcus Smart will soon join the Lakers after being bought out by the Wizards.  Bruce and many other Celtics fans are all "up in their feelings" over this move. 35:05 ... Victor Wembanyama has been cleared to play again after suffering from blood clots in his shoulder last season.  These are exciting times in San Antonio with Wemby joining Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper on a team that will be a "League Pass Obsession." 37:53 ... The New Orleans Pelicans are looking like a hot mess tossed into a dumpster fire.  They've spent the entire off season making one questionable move after another.  Over the weekend, their top rookie Derik Queen suffered a wrist injury that will sideline him for three months.  New boss Joe Dumars is off to a "bumpy" start to say the least. 42:35 ... Good news in Denver .... recently acquired Jonas Valanciunas has agreed to stop his pursuit of a deal with a team in Greece and will play for the Nuggets as the backup for Nikola Jokic.  It's the right thing to do and the Denver fans deserve his best effort, even if he just plays one season for the Nuggets. 45:24 .... This week it's Ross's turn to try and stump his partners with this week's "Card Challenge."  Some of the players that Ross used to put Bruce and "World B" on the spot were Brandon Roy, Marcus Camby, Yao Ming, David Lee, Gary Payton, Andre Iguodala, Bruce Bowen, and Dwight Howard. 53:48 ... Ross wraps things up and says goodbye ... TRT 54:05      

In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Kristen Anderson, a trailblazer in the HALO sector and a well-known, high-profile Pilates instructor out of Los Angeles. Kristen shares her journey from competitive figure skating to entrepreneurship, revealing how her passion for movement has shaped her approach to helping others live healthier, more balanced lives. Kristen drives home points about "the power of small, consistent movement," the enduring value of Pilates, and how she's leveraging technology to make fitness more accessible. This is a fun one! And it's packed with inspiration, wisdom, and practical advice for anyone looking to “feed their humanity” through movement—plus a nod to shared passions for Taylor Swift and how Pilates is benefiting everyone from pop stars to pro athletes! Anderson is known for successfully launching several products, though being ahead of the curve hasn't always been easy—sometimes leading to frustration or skepticism from others. Still, her ability to anticipate change and her commitment to personal authenticity keep her moving forward. When discussing a healther future, she says, "This is fighting for what you believe in! You guys (Integrity Square) are about getting rid of childhood diabetes and obesity, because those things are still around, and you can't sleep at night when it's going on out there! I have that same thing. It's like . . . it's just a tiny bit of movement. It makes me feel better, you feel better, and then I still have time to do all my other things, because when I get out of balance, it's not good." Key themes discussed Scaling wellness and Pilates impact beyond local communities. The benefits and science behind Pilates practice. Movement as a tool for mental and physical well-being. Balancing personal career ambitions with community contribution. The evolving role of technology in fitness and Pilates. Importance of daily movement—no need for lengthy workouts. Pilates' integration into sports, rehabilitation, and "mainstream" fitness. A few key takeaways:  1. Movement Is Essential—Not Just for Fitness, But for Life: Kristen emphasizes that movement isn't just about working out or looking a certain way—it's about staying healthy, feeling good, and functioning well in everyday life. She says, "Some kind of movement, regardless of who you are, will get you some endorphins . . . and that actually influences the rest of your life and all these other areas that we're always trying to knock down.” 2. The Power of Scaling Positive Impact: Kristen shares how her drive isn't about money— it's about helping more people through movement. She believes in a “butterfly effect”: helping one person move better can ripple outward to help countless others, feeding her “purpose” of giving someone the gift of a better day. 3. Pilates Is Here to Stay—and Evolving: As a Pilates innovator, Kristen points out that Pilates is no passing fad. It has become a foundational movement system for everyone from athletes (like the Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swift!) to everyday people. She predicts that Pilates principles will become further ingrained in mainstream fitness and even children's physical education. 4. Balance and Community Matter for Longevity and Joy: Kristen talks about how she structures her own schedule to balance client work, creative projects, personal pursuits, and mentorship—because “when I get out of balance, it's not good.” She stresses the importance of community, connection, and feeding “your humanity.” 5. Pilates (and Movement) Is Becoming More Accessible and Customizable Looking to the future, Kristen sees Pilates (and movement-based wellness in general) getting even more personalized. Whether it's bite-size routines for specific goals (like sport recovery or rehab) or leveraging tech/AI to deliver targeted programs, she envisions a world where the benefits of Pilates are widely available and “normalized.” Resources:  Kristin Anderson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-anderson-thankyou/   HALO Talks 2 Minute Financial Drills (Videos): https://bit.ly/2minutedrills  Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com  Promotion Vault: http://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: http://www.higherdose.com

Love in the Lav series. Episode #4 of 4. The late 1920s birthed what would become a defining cultural phenomenon—the "pansy craze"—when LGBTQ+ culture burst into mainstream American entertainment from the late 1920s through the early 1930s. The smoky haze of Prohibition-era speakeasies provided the perfect backdrop for drag queens, called "pansy performers,” to be catapulted into underground stardom, with major cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami serving as epicenters of this unprecedented visibility and acceptance. As illegal liquor flowed freely, patrons witnessed titillating new performances by gender nonconforming entertainers that challenged social conventions. Elaborate gowns and carefully applied makeup caught the dim lights as "pansies" mesmerized audiences with their wit, sensuality, and gender rebellion.

Pia Mailhot-Leichter is a creative partner, best selling author, certified coach, and founder. Her path has been anything but ordinary: a recovering nomad, she's reported as a journalist in Sri Lanka, graduated summa cum laude from NYU, and worked as an award-winning creative director for some of the biggest brands in the world. Now, as the founder of Kollektiv Studio, she's uniquely positioned to help people create their wild ventures. Pia Mailhot-Leichter Vroom Vroom Veer Summary Finding Joy in Creative Work Jeffery and Pia discussed Pia's work as a fractional creative director and creative coach in Copenhagen, where she collaborates with "unconventional dreamers" to bring their visions to life. Pia emphasized the importance of finding joy and purpose in one's work, citing the finite nature of life and the opportunity to create each day anew. They agreed on the value of maintaining optimism and finding joy in life's journey, with Jeffery referencing Jack Cornfield's perspective on the duty to be joyful. Pia's International Career Journey Pia shared her background, including growing up in New York City and her extensive travel experiences across various countries. She discussed her education, including studying English at Hunter College and pursuing a master's in international relations at NYU. Pia described her career path, which included working as a journalist in Sri Lanka and later doing communications work for the UNDP and an NGO called Plan International. Overcoming Adversity for Academic Success Pia shared her personal journey, including being kicked out of her house at 17 and struggling financially while attending college. Despite these challenges, she worked hard to achieve academic success, earning multiple cum laude degrees. After completing her master's, Pia took a contract role at the United Nations Development Program in New York City, though the salary was not sufficient to cover her living expenses. Cross-Cultural Work Experiences Discussed Jeffery and Pia discussed their experiences working in Bahrain and Qatar. Pia shared her disappointment at having to sell ad space for an economic documentary in Bahrain instead of pursuing her original goal of making a positive impact through transitional justice work. She realized later that the experience taught her valuable skills in sales and confidence in pitching to high-level executives. Jeffery, who served in the military, noted that frequent relocations and job changes helped him develop problem-solving skills, an attribute that was appreciated by his bosses. Embracing Change and Personal Growth Pia and Jeffery discussed the challenges and opportunities that come with change and new experiences. Pia shared her experience of choosing to stay in Copenhagen after a divorce, rather than moving to Paris, after her therapist encouraged her to consider developing a deeper relationship with herself in that place. They explored how moving can sometimes be a way to avoid dealing with personal issues, comparing it to the temporary nature of military assignments. The conversation concluded with Pia emphasizing the importance of making conscious choices about moving, rather than acting on impulse, as a way to gain empowerment and freedom. Life Changes and Lifestyle Reimagining Jeffery shared his experience of moving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas after 13 years, driven by a desire for change and the appeal of lower living costs. Pia discussed her own considerations for reimagining her life, particularly given her family commitments, and explored the possibility of designing a lifestyle that balances current and future desires. They both reflected on the importance of making conscious choices and the uncertainty of knowing where they might eventually settle, with Jeffery mentioning the potential of using his Vegas home as a base while exploring other locations temporarily.

Educational therapy should not be perceived as a permanent necessity; it aims to empower learners towards independence. Parents play a crucial role in educational therapy by stepping back, allowing their children to take initiative in their learning process. The distinction between educational therapy and tutoring lies in the focus on developing strategies rather than merely addressing academic content. The virtual landscape of educational therapy can foster just as meaningful connections as in-person sessions, debunking common misconceptions. Understanding and addressing underlying learning challenges can prevent significant achievement gaps from forming in learners.
