John Casmon interviews Pete Schnepp. Pete shares how he went from running a contracting company to building a 150-door portfolio, including his “five years to freedom” cash-flow goal and the mindset shift from “keep it small, keep it all” to partnering through JVs. He explains why many high-net-worth partners prefer voting rights and alignment over passive LP checks, and how he supplements third-party management to beat market occupancy. You'll hear practical tactics like speeding up turns, leveraging Facebook Marketplace for leasing, and using your “ikigai” to decide what to scale next.

Hear the word "Dionysus" and you picture the Greek god of ecstasy: overflowing tables, delirious revelry, chaos. Not the austere soundworld of Guy Brewer, AKA Carrier. On the surface, the UK artist's latest alias feels almost Spartan. But look closer and the Dionysian link starts to show: it's about shedding fixed forms and identities, to allow something more true, more alive, to form. RA.1011 marks Brewer's third entry in the RA Mix series, following editions as drum & bass outfit Commix (RA.269) and, later, the techno alias Shifted (RA.310). "I guess it's an effort to step away from purism," Brewer told Resident Advisor back in 2023. "Right now the thresholds between genres are where you find the most exciting music." Carrier's phenomenal debut album, Rhythm Immortal, delivers on that promise. Low-end pressure cloaks like foreboding shadows, punctured only by eerie, otherworldly percussion comparable only to Photek or T++. Listen to the LP in full and it feels like walking through a scene in a true-crime drama: a fog-drenched city street in the deep of night, ambushed by gusts of wind, whispers and strange noises—and it sounds totally, utterly original. Tracing a line through dub pressure, fractured percussion and narcotic ambience, Brewer explores that same world on RA.1011. As with the album, there's a primal pulse that threads through the recording. Walls of negative space seem to hover before dissolving inexplicably, their tension intact; drums move more like the weather than rhythm. - Bella Aquilina

Real-estate operator August Biniaz (Co-Founder & CIO, CPI Capital) breaks down how he grew from agent and small developer to closing $225M+ in multifamily assets—plus the boutique advantages that win in today's market: cross-border investor structures, a mid-market acquisition lane ($20–$50M), and ruthless underwriting discipline (rent growth, exit caps, and debt selection). We cover value-add vs BTR, lessons from deals walked away from, and why talent, conservative debt, and 95% occupancy targets matter more than spreadsheets. Highlights The mid-market moat: Why 100–300 doors, < $50M assets in Tampa (FL) and San Antonio (TX) are a sweet spot. LP economics first: Targeting 15–20% average annualized returns and passing the "net-to-investor" test before bidding. Underwriting levers that kill deals: Keeping organic rent growth to ~2.5%–3%, and being conservative on exit cap rates. Debt is destiny: Why fixed, interest-only 5-year debt reduces "debt distress" risk. Boutique advantage: Direct access to principals, tight asset management, investor dinners, and hands-on ops. Cross-border structure: How Canadian LPs invest into U.S. deals while avoiding double taxation and using registered retirement funds (via MFT). Lessons learned: "Best deals are often the ones you walk away from," plus "hire slow, fire fast. Enjoyed this?

We are back after a hiatus to discuss the new release of the "One to One" concert from 1972 featuring John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Elephant's Memory. This concert appears in a beautifully remixed version that substantially improves over the 1986 John Lennon: Live in New York City release. But how does the concert hold up all these years later, and what about the set list, performances, and political messaging? We dig into all of it! Because only the concert was available on streaming (as of the time of recording), we do not discuss the other parts of the Power to the People box set, but we plan to do that as discs get released over the next few months.  Power To The People: Live at the One To One Concert Super Deluxe (9 CD/3 Bluray - paid link)  https://amzn.to/4lxxSB9    Power to The People: Live at the One to One Concert (2 LP paid link)  https://amzn.to/4fIQzR2   Power to The People: Live at the One to One Concert (2 CD paid link)  https://amzn.to/46W3jBz  (As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.)   Feel free to email or record a message about this episode to ivegotabeatlespodcast@outlook.com and we'll include you in our "Please Mr. Postman" segment.

I think most people would agree that music, and especially lyrics, is one of the most powerful forms of human expression. If you've ever heard a song that just resonated so strongly with what's going on in your life and made you rethink what truly matters, I think you'll relate to this episode. Today, I'm talking about a song from Teddy Swims that completely shifted my perspective on love, gratitude, and what's most important in life. At the time, I was in the midst of a petty argument with my wife and dealing with conflict in my marriage. It was a great reminder that, in the end, love and connection in our relationships are what life is all about. So, if you're dealing with some challenging situations in your life, my hope is that this episode inspires you to pause and take a moment, grab your journal, or apply it to your S.A.V.E.R.S., and write down some of the things or people you're grateful for. It worked for me, and I hope it will work for you too. P.S. I also wanted to let you know that you can pre-order the newest book in the Miracle Morning series, The Miracle Morning After 50: A Proven Path to Joy, Vitality, and Purpose for Aging Adults.

Welcome back to Transmissions, a weekly interview podcast created and curated by Los Angeles online music magazine Aquarium Drunkard. This week on the show, host Jason P. Woodbury speaks with a living legend, and one of our all-time favorite vocalists and songsmiths: Emmylou Harris.  On November 7th, New West Records will re-release an expanded edition of her 1998 live album Spyboy, back in print after 27 years. Recorded in the wake 1995's Wrecking Ball, an LP that redefined Harris for a whole new generation, Spyboy finds Harris and her band—Buddy Miller, Brady Blade and Daryl Johnson—on the road and stretching out into feverish new territory for the storied singer. Harris released her first album in 1970, and along the way, she's collaborated with artists like country rock pioneer Gram Parsons, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and countless more. But as she settled into the ‘90s, she felt that country radio no longer made space for voices like hers—prompting a shift into a new direction with producer Daniel Lanois, who crafted a spectral, haunted sound for Wrecking Ball, placing her voice at the dreamy center. The resulting era introduced Harris to new ears—and we were thrilled to speak with her about it for this episode. Transmissions is created in partnership with the Talkhouse Podcast Network. We're brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquarium Drunkard⁠⁠⁠⁠, an independent music media crew headed by Justin Gage. Over at Aquarium Drunkard, you'll gain access to 20 years of music writing, playlist, essays, mixtapes, radio special, podcasts, videos and more.

A live recording and chat with Aoife Barry from our recent Listening Party for Jeff Buckley's Grace (1994) at the Big Romance in Dublin. One of the '90s most revered albums, Grace is an astonishing debut LP from the American singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley. Sadly, it was to be his only album as he tragically died three years later but the album is considered a classic for its wide-ranging, reaching vocals (Buckley's voice spanned four octaves), its resonant melding of rock, folk, soul and jazz and songs of intensity, beauty and grandeur including of course, the definitive cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', along with songs like 'Lover, You Should've Come Over', 'Mojo Pin', and 'Grace'. Baroque, sweeping, poetic, soul–baring, biblical, elemental and melodramatic Grace is considered one of the best debut albums of all time, and generally just one of the best records of all time. The high drama of his life imbues Buckley's songs with a level of intensity and singular weight It's no wonder that it's an album that teenagers are still discovering today.

And they shall take of the blood, and put it upon the two posts and upon the lintel, upon the houses in which they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and things unleavened; upon things bitter they shall eat it. Eat ye not of it raw, and by boiling boiled in waters, but roast with fire; its head upon its legs and upon its midst. And ye shall not leave of it until the morning; and that which is left of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. And thus shall ye eat it: your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; this is the passover of Jehovah. Exodus 12: 7-11 Arcana Coelestia 7845. “And they shall take of the blood,” signifies the holy truth which is of the good of innocence; “and shall put it upon the two posts and upon the lintel,” signifies the truths and the goods of the natural; “upon the houses,” signifies those things which are of the will of good; “in which they shall eat it,” signifies enjoyment; “and they shall eat the flesh,” signifies the enjoyment of good; “in that night,” signifies along with the damnation of the evil; “roast with fire,” signifies the good which is of love; “and things unleavened,” signifies purified from all falsity; “upon things bitter,” signifies by means of the undelightful things of temptations; “they shall eat it,” signifies enjoyment; “eat ye not of it raw,” signifies that it shall not be without love; “and by boiling boiled in waters,” signifies that it shall not go forth from truth; “but roast with fire,” signifies that it shall go forth from love; “its head upon its legs and upon its midst,” signifies from the inmost to the external; “and ye shall not leave of it until the morning,” signifies the duration of this state before a state of enlightenment in heaven; “and that which is left of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire,” signifies a state of the means for the end through temptations; “and thus shall ye eat it,” signifies enjoyment in a state of separation from the evil who had infested, and preservation then; “your loins girded,” signifies in respect to the interiors; “your shoes on your feet,” signifies in respect to the exteriors; “and your staff in your hand,” signifies in respect to the intermediates; and ye shall eat it in haste,” signifies the affection of separation; “this is the passover of Jehovah,” signifies the presence of the Lord and liberation by Him. AC 7849. The case herein is this: when those who before the Lord's coming had been detained in custody in the lower earth (n. 6854, 6914, 7091, 7828) were to be liberated, they had to be prepared to receive the influx of good and truth from the Lord, for they were to pass through the midst of hell; and lest in that passage evils and falsities should flow in from the infernal spirits round about, they had to be prepared, so that they might then be in a full state of truth and good. But of the Lord's Divine mercy that passage shall be spoken of in what follows. This preparation, or initiation to a state of reception of good and truth, is described by the things which were to be done between the tenth day of the month and the fourteenth day, and which were to be observed in respect to the eating of the paschal lamb. Third Round posts are short audio clips taken from Round 3 comments in the online Logopraxis Life Group meetings. The aim is to maintain focus on understanding the Text's application to the inner life while reinforcing key LP principles highlighted in the exchanges.

Host Paul Shannon sits down with Gino (of Jake & Gino) to trace the path from family pizza shop to operating ~1,900 units with no outside equity. Gino breaks down why they paused syndications after 2019, how “PPU—profit per unit” drives their buy/hold decisions, and the exact LP diligence framework he wishes he'd had before losing money as a passive. They dig into today's tighter credit, catching-a-falling-knife rent/occupancy dynamics, and why longer debt runways and operator fit matter more than ever. Key Takeaways: The LP Framework: Jockey (sponsor) → Saddle (alignment of interests) → Horse (deal: buy right, manage right, finance right) Why they exited syndications: control, long-hold strategy, and avoiding the “feed the beast” pressure—investor expectations make investors your de facto bosses Diligence like a pro: visit the asset, run the PPM through AI, then spend an hour with a securities attorney before wiring a dime Operate for durability: target $200–$400 PPU, prefer vertical integration, and secure ≥5-year debt to bridge cycles Match strategy to you: know your relationship with money, stagger commitments (the “conveyor belt”), and choose sponsors aligned with long-term holds if that's your goal Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Tap your foot? Whistle? Hum a tune?I think you count too. Musician isn't a some high-and-mighty state. It's just being human.I think by segmenting so much we all miss out. Musicians do best when we get community input (just look at New Orleans!) -- not just academic or commercialized competition.It's not bad to hustle. But it's nice to have a mix of voices. Some going all-in. Some expressing the depths of the soul with no expectation of reward.But even bigger than that, the coolest thing is watching people decide to play at whatever level. Even cooler: Watching them decide to write. I hope you do. It's never too late. And if you're a pro, it's good for the soul to make some random stuff that's not for a royalty.Let's wax musical, people!For 30% off your first year with DistroKid to share your music with the world click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to hear my music?

Brent from Sage Healthspan joins us to unpack why “normal” ranges aren't the goal in a metabolically unwell population, how a closed-data AI can protect privacy while clarifying your results, and which overlooked biomarkers can change your prevention plan.We walk through the markers that move the needle. For cardiovascular risk, ApoB outperforms total cholesterol, while Lp(a) can reveal a genetic risk hidden in standard panels and point you toward a timely calcium score. Men should treat PSA as a low-friction lifesaver rather than an afterthought. Women deserve complete hormone panels, not piecemeal tests that miss the bigger picture. We also break down composite markers, ratios, and biological age as motivators—useful not as verdicts, but as guides to your next best step.The episode connects labs with real life. Sleep, training load, season, and environment all shape your biology. Wearables like Oura can inform when to push or pull back; vitamin D shifts with sunlight; fasting changes testosterone; and context matters as much as the number itself. We share how Sage ingests historical labs, normalizes units, explains biomarkers in plain English, and even drafts smart questions you can email to your doctor so every appointment counts. The aim is simple: lower friction, improve clarity, and build health agency that compounds over time.If you're ready to move from “okay” to optimal, tune in and learn how to centralize your data, fill panel gaps affordably, and make better daily choices backed by evidence.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives.  In this episode, we feature the next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series. It's Chuck's chat with Dr. Paul Tanner, inventor (with Bob Whitsell) of the Electro-Theremin, which he also famously played on three Beach Boys tracks: “I Just Wasn't Made For These Times,” “Good Vibrations,” and “Wild Honey.” Paul passed away a few years later in 2013, which makes this posthumously released “Chuck Chat” yet another priceless buried treasure.   Here are just a few of the many things that Paul discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: How he got the idea for the Electro-Theremin in the first place; The differences between the theremin and Dr. Tanner's simpler device; His days playing trombone with the Glenn Miller Band; The 1958 record Music For Heavenly Bodies, which was the first full-length LP to feature Paul's instrument; Being asked to join The Beach Boys on tour; And what happened when a different Wilson brother hired Paul for a session date. There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

So many biopics feature the story of an artist from cradle to grave....all in 2 hours. Those of you who know me or have listened to the show before know I'm....uh....not a fan of these types of pods. They're often a cherry picked list of moments in the artist's life until the moment of triumph – artistically and in overcoming personal obstacles. Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere does it backwards. Welcome to episode 131 of See Hear Podcast. In Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, we find Bruce at an artistically satisfying place and being hugely popular (though not as popular as he would get). What does an ambitious artist do following a number 1 record with one of the greatest working bands in America? He goes into a bedroom with a 4 track recorded (new technology for the day), records a bunch of dark personal songs about troubled people....and insists on putting these songs (FROM A CASSETTE) out as his new LP. The film follows the book by Warren Zanes “Deliver Me From Nowhere” which covers the period in exquisite detail. It covers Springsteen's fascination with a serial killer and classic cinema, and how they helped influence his songwriting of the period. The story behind Nebraska is not what you'd expect from a Hollywood film...not about the man who was simultaneously recording the biggest album of his career while he was recording the most personal. The film starts with a superstar who has mental health issues, and needs to deliver something small. If we were doing bonus / Patreon shows, this would most likely be classified as one of those. Instead of badgering my partners Kerry and Tim into seeing this new Springsteen biopic, I went with 4 willing folks to a local cinema, then adjourned to a nearby cafe'. Loaded up with coffee and cake, I plugged in an external microphone into my phone, turned on the voice recorder software, then had a conversation about with my wife Joanne, and our friends Kate and Geoff about the film we had just watched – no time to fashion our thoughts....just an instant gut reaction. Sadly, Joanne couldn't be picked up on the mic with the constant background noises one hears in a busy cafe, so she's been edited out. This episode is short, and we surely missed out salient points that further contemplation might have bought – that doesn't matter. This is an honest reaction. Next month, Kerry, Tim and I will return to the style of show you're familiar with.

Label: Motown 1103Year: 1967Condition: M Price: $25.00It's clear that Diana Ross' spoken interlude in this underrated Supremes single was one of Michael Jackson's greatest vocal inspirations. His little hiccup surely started from late-night air-guitar sessions when Michael would sing along with Diana on this one. :-) The B side is another fine H-D-H tune. This single is also remarkable for the manic mastery of James Jamerson's bass playing. Right from the get-go, his bass starts running away behind the scenes and just doesn't stop for breath! Of course, it's much easier to hear and appreciate that instrument when the audio is as clear and the mix as perfect as on this original 45. (Note: Jamerson was inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.) Collector Nerd Alert: The track time on the 45 shows 2:35, but my recording of the song is 2:45, about the same as the LP cut's 2:47. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. The record has Mint audio and labels!

Sleepytime Trio formed in 1995 in Harrisonburg, Virginia, originally as a side project of Maximillian Colby. Known for their volatile, emotional sound and chaotic live shows, they quickly became a defining force in the late 90s post-hardcore scene, sharing stages with bands like Hot Water Music, Frodus, and Shotmaker. After a hiatus in 1998, members went on to form acts like Engine Down, Rah Bras, and Milemarker before reuniting to tour again. Their definitive discography, remixed by J. Robbins and remastered by TJ Lipple, showcases all their studio recordings and captures the raw energy that made them legendary. In 2024, Solid Brass Records partnered with Sleepytime Trio and their longtime label, Lovitt Records, to work on a vinyl discography to memorialize this important band. The definitive Sleepytime Trio discography to date is packaged in a single pocket gatefold LP sleeve with complete lyrics. It also includes an 8-page zine/booklet featuring an extensive show list, behind-the-scenes notes, photos, and memories from friends of the band. There is a BONUS insert also included in this pressing only!

Lou doesn't need his glasses anymore (maybe), meanwhile Adelle is adjusting to her new Progressive lenses. 4-track Man reminds us all that nothing is funny these days, including Lou's cover of The Vandals 1982 song Anarchy Burger (hold the government).

We sit down with Jeff Perry, CRO at Carta, to explore how growth leaders redefine success when capital tightens, buyers get smarter, and AI reshapes cost structures.  We unpack how growth has changed, why IPO-ready now means post-IPO durable, and how Carta scaled from a cap table tool to an ERP-like platform for private capital while staying efficient and customer-first. Jeff shares concrete tactics for moving upmarket, using AI wisely, and building teams that perform under pressure.• redefining fast growth and IPO readiness in private markets• evolving from SMB velocity to enterprise endurance• expanding from cap tables to fund admin and private credit• measuring meetings as a leading productivity indicator• using curated events and customer proofs over vanity metrics• aligning sales, marketing and product around shared pipeline• adding K-1 tax and LP data products to deepen value• AI as a force for 10x productivity, not headcount cuts• disciplined acquisitions to accelerate the CFO ERP vision• leadership choices: pausing sales, saying no when not readyIPO dreams used to hinge on hitting 100 million ARR. That world is gone.  Jeff takes us from Carta's earliest days digitizing stock certificates to building a networked platform that now powers cap tables, fund administration, LP data, and private credit—an evolving ERP for the office of the private capital CFO.We dig into the hard pivots after the 2021 surge: why “more capacity” stopped working, how meetings per AE became a reliable leading indicator, and where curated events and customer-led storytelling outperform saturated digital tactics. Jeff explains the move upmarket into venture and private equity, the new enterprise seller profile it requires, and the partnership with marketing to identify real switching intent. He also shares how acquisitions like Accelex and Sirvatus support an end-to-end vision across funds, LPs, and loan servicing.AI looms large throughout. Jeff contrasts application-layer SaaS with AI-native companies carrying heavy compute costs, and why that bifurcation changes CAC, payback, and headcount plans. Rather than using AI to cut roles, he shows how Carta uses it to 10x productivity—accelerating RFPs, territory coverage, and performance workflows—while standardizing experiments so wins become reusable process. Along the way, we unpack bold leadership choices: pausing sales to protect implementation quality, and walking away from a marquee IPO transition when the product wasn't ready.If you care about efficient growth, enterprise GTM, and building products that compound value across a connected market, this conversation delivers practical playbooks and memorable lessons on performing under pressure.

Send us a textA great career means little if you're not here to enjoy it. This conversation with KellyMitchell's president, Blaise Bussell, cuts through the noise to what matters most: leading at home, protecting your health, and building a life your kids will remember. Blaise opens up about the values forged in childhood by a gritty mom and a humble coach-dad, the joy and nerves of raising a 13-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, and the choice to put family first—even when work says otherwise. From car-ride questions that spark real talks to celebrating his daughter's faith decision on her terms, the small moments become the story.Then comes the jolt: a heart attack with 98% blockage that arrived without a dramatic warning, just jaw pain, nausea, and a stubborn belief it was stress. Blaise walks us through the late-night symptoms, the “go straight to the hospital” call, fast-placed stents, and the quieter recovery that followed. He traded max-effort workouts for sustainable strength, dialed in medication, and learned to live in a safer training zone. The most important lesson may surprise you: LP(a), a hereditary lipoprotein rarely included in standard cholesterol tests. If heart disease runs in your family, you need to ask for it. Fit doesn't mean safe when your genes stack the deck.We also get practical about priorities. Blaise shares a simple framework—faith, me, we, family, work—that helps him make cleaner decisions, from delaying projects to catch a child's tournament to protecting date nights and bedtime rituals. On the career side, he explains how aligning with a company's culture and protecting your personal brand can turn hard pivots into new momentum, and he offers a look at how KellyMitchell blends IT staffing with solutions to serve innovative enterprises.If you're a parent who wants more presence, better health, and resilient leadership at home and at work, this one's for you. Listen, share with a friend who needs the LP(a) nudge, and tell us the one habit you'll change this week.

What if the chronic medical issues that you're struggling with are just being treated at a surface level and the real cause of the illness or autoimmune condition lies much deeper? The unfortunate reality is that traditional healthcare has forced us to accept medications and quick fixes that manage symptoms instead of resolving the root issue. Today's guest is someone who I trust dearly and has helped me significantly improve my own health and cognitive function. Dr. Philip Oubre is my personal functional medicine doctor, a board-certified physician who helps patients uncover and heal the root causes of chronic illness. After training in conventional medicine, he discovered its limits firsthand and shifted his focus and career to functional medicine which has yielded tremendous results in helping people reverse chronic disease naturally through nutrition, detoxification, and lifestyle optimization. In our conversation, Dr. Oubre outlines the six root causes of chronic illness, dispels some common myths of conventional medicine, and provides actionable steps to take full responsibility for your own healing. You'll learn how heavy metals, mold, toxins, and even emotional stress impact your body; why most doctors still get nutrition wrong; and what simple dietary shifts can dramatically improve your health and wellbeing.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The Difference Between Functional and Conventional Medicine The Six Root Causes of Chronic Disease Dr. Oubre Pivots from Conventional to Functional Medicine How Nutrition Plays the Biggest Role in Healing Medical Schools Only Teach Only One Hour of Nutrition The Truth About Big Pharma and Medical Education Only You Can Take 100% Responsibility for Your Health If You Put Trash In Your Body, You'll Get Trash Health The Real Reason Gluten Is Toxic In America First Steps to Reclaim Your Health and Energy The Truth About Vegan and Carnivore Diets The Future of Healthcare with Functional Medicine How to Work with Dr. Oubre From Anywhere in the World Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/608 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

Hello Friends, This time on Mixology, we're back with another Mixology Conversation, this time with the delightful Andrew Batt, discussing the fantastic new Cast Your Fate to the Wind: The Complete UK Decca Recordings from Marianne Faithfull. Andrew's care and attention with Marianne's work made this one of my most anticipated reissue campaigns in many years, and with the fantastic results now available, I have to say it comes with my highest recommendation. However, I was initially left with many questions about the mixes chosen across the set, as while stereo is the defacto choice here, the occasional mono mix surfaces where stereo does in fact exist, and beyond that... why stereo over mono? Your ears will tell you part of the answer, but these make up but a small part of our conversation, which became a delightfully flowing overview of Marianne's 60s career, her evolution from pure folk singer to baroque pop master, and the hurdles and misconceptions that have caused this material to both be overlooked and undervalued both at the time and in the decades since. Andrew - who was amusingly the fourth guest I have had by this name - was an absolute delight to converse with, and our conversation really opened my eyes to the struggles Marianne faced over the years, both externally and internally, when it came to this material, and I am so glad it is finally being given the presentation it deserves to get the appraisal it deserves. For listeners on the Patreon, a 10 minute bonus clip from this conversation is also available, discussing the lack of session reels, Mick Jagger's treasures, the mystery of a vinyl box set, and an exploration of the challenges at large with a curated reissue campaign in 2025. In other words - an utterly essential addition that sadly did not fit into the episode proper! Cast Your Fate to the Wind: The Complete UK Decca Recordings 1964-1969 is out now as a CD box set and a series of LP reissues on Proper Music. Happy Listening, Frederick Patreon  Email  Instagram - @hypnoticfred 

Years before getting the indie gold star with Before Today, Beverly Hills trust fundie Ariel Rosenberg recorded a couple hundred cassettes-worth of home made pastiche psychedelic bacterium while in high school and college. Loverboy was the fifth LP extracted from this low-fi/highly-invigorating cassette cache. It's my favorite of Phase I Ariel Pink - probably because it's the only one I own on vinyl. Also - we play Cupid and pop the cherry on the Cryofab Rejuvenation Machine II.

Arcana Colestia 7774. Verses 4-8. And Moses said, Thus said Jehovah, About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt. And every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh about to sit upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the millstones; and every firstborn of beast. And there shall be a great cry in the whole land of Egypt, such as there hath been none like it, nor shall be like it anymore. And to all the sons of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, from man and even to beast; that ye may know that Jehovah doth separate between the Egyptians and Israel. And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that is at thy feet; and thereafter I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in the wrath of anger. AC 7812. Besides the spirits of whom mention has now been made, there are also spirits who infuse contrary persuasions; being those who while they lived in the world were banished from the society of others, because they were evil. When they approach, there appears as it were a flying flame which glides down near the face; they place themselves beneath, at the man's hinder parts, and speak from there toward the parts above. They speak things contrary to those which the instructing spirit from the angels has said; namely, that they need not live according to the instruction, but at their own good will and pleasure, and the like. They usually come immediately after the former spirits have departed. But the men on that earth know who and of what quality these spirits are, and therefore they pay no regard to them. Nevertheless they thus learn what evil is, and so what good is; for by evil is learned what is good, the quality of good being known from its opposite. All perception of a thing is according to reflection bearing on the distinctions that come from contraries in various ways and in various degrees. Third Round posts are short audio clips taken from Round 3 comments in the online Logopraxis Life Group meetings. The aim is to maintain focus on understanding the Text's application to the inner life while reinforcing key LP principles highlighted in the exchanges.

 "In today's self-obsessed world, even Christians can fall into a trap: replacing the ‘I AM' with ‘I am.' Has self-focus quietly taken God's place in your life? Let's find out." Identity is important—but when self-focus overshadows God-focus, something dangerous happens. In this episode, Lou Perez explores how modern narcissism, entitlement, and the false self can quietly push God out of the center of our lives.  Connect with us: YouTube: YouTube.com/@soul02-oxygen Facebook: @LP.Oxygen https://www.facebook.com/LP.Oxygen Instagram: LP.Oxygen Twitter: @Soul025 Buzzsprout: Soul02-Buzzsprout Spotify: Soul02 - Spotify Apple: Soul02-Itunes Stitcher: Soul02-Stitcher

If you were tasked with making a feature film about Bruce Springsteen, you could throw a dart and hit any number of career peaks worth covering. Instead, director/writer Scott Cooper chose to zoom in on the Boss' personal low, chronicled by author Warren Zanes in his acclaimed 2023 book Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska.

Send us a textIt's a listener pick! On this episode we look at one of the most influential musical groups of the twentieth century - Sly and the Family Stone, and their 1970 LP There's a Riot Going On. By 1970, Sly Stone and his band had already had a huge impact on modern music. It was a mixed-race and mixed-gender band that spoke of love and harmony among all people. Hits like "Everyday People," "Dance to the Music," and "Stand" had gained the band crossover success and spawned numerous copy cats. However, by the time work had begun on There's a Riot Going On, the band was beginning to splinter. Sly was under increasing pressure by militant groups like the Black Panthers to make his music more "black" and he began to find solace in drugs and isolation.  Forgoing the usual input from his band, Sly wrote, arranged, and recorded most of There's a Riot Going On himself. He brought in outside musicians, such as Billy Preston and Ike Turner to give the songs added dimension. The resulting LP was the big bang for the fledgling  genre of funk and an album that is consistently regarded as one of the best and most influential albums ever made. Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.

Energy security represents one of Taiwan's most pressing challenges. With virtually no domestic fossil fuel resources and limited renewable energy potential relative to its needs, the island imports approximately 98% of its energy. The semiconductor fabrication plants that drive the economy are particularly energy-intensive, requiring uninterrupted power supplies to maintain their precision manufacturing processes. Any disruption in electricity can halt production lines worth billions of dollars, making grid stability and efficient power generation not merely infrastructure concerns but fundamental pillars of Taiwan's economic competitiveness. This reality has driven the island to pursue cutting-edge power generation technologies, including advanced combined cycle plants that can deliver maximum efficiency from imported natural gas. One such plant, the Sun Ba II facility, entered commercial operation in May 2025. It was recently recognized as a 2025 POWER Top Plant award winner. “That this project got recognized with your power plant award, I think this is really a nice story and a nice finish I would never have expected when I came here,” Thomas Ringmann, director of Business Development with Siemens Energy, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. Sun Ba II is a 2 x 1 multi-shaft configuration, which means there are two gas turbines and two heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) serving one steam turbine. The gas turbines and the steam turbine each have their own generators. “We have used in this project our latest and biggest gas turbine—the SGT-9000HL,” Ringmann explained. “The steam turbine is a SST-5000, so that's a triple-pressure steam turbine with a combined HP [high-pressure] and IP [intermediate-pressure] turbine, and a dual-flow LP [low-pressure] turbine. Also, we had an air-cooled condenser, condensing the steam from that steam turbine, and we had a three-pressure reheat HRSG, which was of Benson-type technology.” The project began at the peak of the COVID pandemic, which presented a large challenge. “Every project meeting, every design meeting, every coordination meeting were all done online,” Andy Chang, project manager with Siemens Energy, said. “Everything was done online, because nobody can travel. We just had to figure this out.” Effective collaboration among project partners was a key to success. “The collaboration is not only with our consortium partner—CTCI, an EPC [engineering, procurement, and construction] company—but actually with also the customer, Sun Ba Power,” Ewen Chi, sales manager with Siemens Energy, said. “Everybody has the same target, which is to bring power on grid as soon as possible. So, with this same-boat mentality—everybody sitting in the same boat and rowing toward the target—actually helped the project to be successful and to overcome many challenges.” Chang agreed that on-time completion was only possible with all parties maintaining a collaborative spirit. “This power plant right now is predominantly running on baseload operation,” Ringmann reported. “So, given that high grade of operations along with a high gas price, the efficiency of our turbines actually is a key contributor to an economic value of the customer.” Meanwhile, the lessons learned from this first deployment of HL technology in Taiwan are being applied to a new project. Siemens Energy and CTCI are now collaborating on the Kuo Kuang II power plant, which is under construction in Taoyuan, northern Taiwan. “Because we have this momentum and this mentality from Sun Ba II execution, now each side, they decided that they will keep their core team member from both sides, and they will continue to cherish this partnership with the next project,” Chang reported.

People think being a multifamily operator is glamorous — that it's passive income, freedom, and kicking back while the money rolls in. The truth? It's chaos. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a real day in my life — juggling four jobs (multifamily operator, full-time teacher, surf coach, and waiter), nonstop phone calls, constant decision-making, and the family moments that keep me going. This is the unfiltered reality of what it takes to be an operator — and why maybe, just maybe, being an LP is the better move for some of you.

This week, DJ Ninja speaks with OK Cool, a Chicago-based indie rock duo comprised of Bridget Stiebris and Haley Blomquist Waller. They discuss the creation process and communication themes behind their new LP, Chit Chat, finally touring outside of the midwest, continuing to be two best buds making music together, and all of their thoughts and feelings about Panic! At The Disco. "This record is a result of us just continuing to give ourselves grace in trying and failing and trying and succeeding." - Bridget Stiebris Produced by DJ Ninja.

Welcome to a new episode of the EUVC Podcast, where our good friends Dan Bowyer and Mads Jensen from SuperSeed are joined by Lomax Ward from Outsized Ventures and Ben Prade, investor & operator at Bullhound Capital (the investment arm of GP Bullhound), for an unfiltered look at Europe's venture reality: fundraising pain, secondaries-as-a-service, AI's power hunger, China's “dark factories,” and how Europe unlocks the capital to compete.Ben focuses on deep tech, AI, quantum, and space, and he brings a clear-eyed view on how liquidity, secondaries, and structural headwinds are reshaping the market.

Nic Espanet is the founder of Flex Equity Group and host of the Flex Forward Podcast. After two decades as a physical therapist, Nic transitioned into real estate—starting with passive investments before becoming a lead general partner. He's now led eight out of ten multifamily deals across Texas, with a focus on operational systems, investor communication, and market strategy. Through his podcast and syndication work, he helps others build freedom through clarity, consistency, and resilience.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Start as a passive investor to learn best practices and build trust. Your first GP deal might require sacrificing equity to gain credibility. Raising capital today is about thoughtful follow-up, not just email blasts. Real estate's control and tangibility make it more appealing than stocks. Take fast action with underperforming property managers—delay can cost you.     Topics From Healthcare to Real Estate Nic spent 20+ years in physical therapy before pivoting to real estate. Originally planned to invest in single-family homes before discovering multifamily. His first steps were as a passive LP, which taught him how great GPs operate. The GP Transition Joined a Dallas real estate network to meet experienced sponsors. Partnered with a seasoned operator for his first deal and earned credibility through effort. Built his own investor systems based on what he appreciated as an LP. Capital Raising in Today's Market Early deals filled in 2–3 days. Now it often takes weeks of phone calls and reminders. Uses GoHighLevel CRM to track interest, follow-ups, and conversations. Avoids texting new investors due to new legislation (SB140 in Texas). Lessons From the Field During COVID, personally took over a failing asset and drove occupancy from 70% to 90%. Now focuses on Texas secondary markets with population growth and minimal new supply. Attributes success to consistent communication, team alignment, and market adaptability.

When life knocks us down or tragedy strikes us or our loved ones, it's easy to think life is unfair and wonder, “Why me?”  But what if your greatest challenges—past and present—are actually divine opportunities for growth and contribution? My good friend, John O'Leary, knows this better than most. At just 9 years old, a gas can exploded, burning 100% of his body, and he was given virtually zero chance of survival. Yet he not only survived, he thrived, and has shared his inspiring story with millions of people around the world.  And if that wasn't enough, his life story was told in the new Sony Pictures film, Soul on Fire, which was released last week. I took my wife and teenage kids to see it, and we all agreed that it is literally one of the best movies we have ever seen! In today's podcast episode, John joins me to share many heartfelt life lessons he learned from his father (who passed away 15 days after watching the movie), and he gives the backstory on one of the most powerful things his dad ever said: “I love you, and there's nothing you can do about it.”  You'll hear how John turned his pain into purpose and suffering into a life of service and gratitude. From learning to say “yes” to being used for good, to discovering that real heroes are the people who show up and ask for nothing in return in our darkest moments. John's sincerity and wisdom may move you to tears, and hopefully inspire you to see your biggest challenges as divine opportunities for growth and contribution.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Powerful Life Lessons John Learned From His Dad The Power of Presence and Loving People Where They Are A Different Way To Go Through Life and Face Death Why Ordinary People Are the Real Heroes Saying “Yes” to Being Used for Good Being of Service to Others Unlocks Fulfillment Imagine Yourself Starting Every Interaction with Love The Mindset Shift From Victimhood to Victor John's Message for Anyone Struggling With Pain or Regret Why Soul on Fire Is a Movie Everyone Needs to See Three Words from John's Dad: “What a Gift” Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/607 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.
