Most people battling addiction never get a second chance. Nick Reiner got eighteen of them. Eighteen trips to rehab facilities reportedly costing $60,000 a month. Private yoga instructors. Family therapists. A guesthouse on a $13.5 million Brentwood estate where he could land softly every time he fell. Rob and Michele Reiner never stopped showing up for their son. On December 14, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their home. Nick was arrested that night and now faces two counts of first-degree murder. But this story isn't just about entitlement, enabling, and what happens when love without boundaries meets zero accountability. It's about a $42 billion addiction treatment industry designed to fail. The 28-day program isn't based on neuroscience—it's based on what insurance agreed to pay in the 1970s. The brain doesn't heal in 28 days. But the invoice does. Sixty percent of patients relapse within 30 days of discharge. Luxury rehabs have no obligation to track—let alone report—whether their patients actually get better. Patients learn to game the system. Facilities profit whether they live or die. We trace Nick's trajectory from childhood tantrums that derailed family yoga sessions to violent outbursts in rehab at fifteen, from destroying his parents' guesthouse on meth to a 2020 mental health conservatorship, from allegedly terrorizing guests at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party to the murders less than 24 hours later. A rehab roommate said he "knew exactly who it was" when he heard the news. A yoga instructor wrote a children's book about his behavior. Nick made disturbing admissions on the Dopey podcast about violence, theft, and moral bankruptcy. The Reiners aren't unique. They're a pattern. Parents bankrupted by hope. Kids cycling through treatment. And an industry that takes the money regardless of outcome.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RehabIndustry #AddictionCrisis #ReinerCase #SystemFailure #BrentwoodMurder #Parricide #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc kick off their annual predictions episode with a fast-moving review of the retail news of the week. They begin with the long-delayed U.S. TikTok deal finally reaching resolution, noting how deeply TikTok now influences product discovery, cultural trends, and transactional commerce through TikTok Shops. While the platform remains critical for retailers, both hosts raise concerns around privacy, political influence, and how algorithmic control may evolve under new ownership.The conversation then turns to tariff volatility and geopolitical uncertainty, highlighting how unpredictable trade policy continues to make planning difficult for retailers. Steve points out that Amazon is already seeing tariff-driven price increases creep into both its first-party and marketplace businesses, reinforcing how global policy decisions are now flowing directly into consumer pricing. They also discuss Gap's creation of a Chief Entertainment Officer role, using it as a signal that retailers are increasingly seeking growth through media, licensing, and brand-driven content ecosystems rather than traditional merchandising alone.From there, Steve delivers his provacative 2026 retail predictions. He argues that the “Great Concentration” will continue, with Amazon, Walmart, and Costco capturing a disproportionate share of both sales growth and profits. This concentration fuels a powerful investment flywheel that makes it increasingly difficult for mid-tier retailers to compete. He predicts a mixed year for major turnarounds, with some traction at Gap and Nike, limited progress at Macy's, and deeper structural challenges for Target.AI emerges as one of the most consequential themes, with Steve describing 2026 as a truly “agentic” year. Search, shopping, and discovery are rapidly shifting toward AI-driven experiences, creating massive innovation but also high risk of disintermediation for brands that fail to adapt. Physical stores, he argues, will matter more for experiential brands and less for undifferentiated ones, accelerating the bifurcation between meaningful store concepts and those that lack a clear role.Steve also predicts intensifying competition in last-mile delivery, as Amazon and Walmart push same-day and narrow delivery windows even further, especially in grocery and essentials. Luxury faces an uneven future, with Saks Global likely emerging from bankruptcy smaller and fragile, and growth concentrated among a few elite brands. Resale, however, finally appears poised for breakout momentum, driven by affordability pressures and improving business models across the sector. Wellness and longevity become a new growth frontier, extending far beyond groceries into subscriptions, services, and lifestyle ecosystems.The episode closes with their “remarkable” stories of the week and a look around the corner, led by Lululemon's latest product misstep involving see-through apparel and a tone-deaf customer response. Michael highlights the promotion of former guest Chris Nicholas to lead Walmart International, while Steve flags growing bond-market volatility as a key macro signal to watch.   About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

Do you ever feel guilty about wanting nicer things for your school?   Maybe it's fresh carpet in the office, a wellness room, or simply air fresheners to combat that musty smell. But then that voice creeps in: "Who am I to want this? We should be grateful for what we have." Here's what I've learned after years of coaching school leaders: When you resist luxury, you're not just denying yourself - you're denying your entire school community.   If you find yourself struggling to embrace luxury as a school leader, this episode is for you. Listen in to learn how luxury is actually a feeling we experience, not just something we buy, the difference between wanting to say yes but saying no, and how pushing through that discomfort of embracing luxury opens the door for more to come in.   Find the full episode show notes and transcript, click here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/422   Keep up with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/akellycoaching/

How premium buyers still compare and negotiate—while luxury buyers step outside price entirely. 08:45 – The "Expanded Vision of Possibility" Framework. Why the most powerful pricing conversations anchor buyers in a future they didn't know was available. 12:30 – When Budgets Grow (Even in Corporations). How elite sellers expand scope and impact—causing "fixed" corporate budgets to quietly increase. 16:10 – Confidence, Control, and Saying the Number. Why the price you can say without hesitation determines whether the buyer trusts you. 19:40 – Intuition vs. Calculators in Luxury Pricing. How elite experts balance cost, margins, and intuition when there is no reference price. 23:20 – Why This Isn't Just for Luxury Brands. Mark connects the dots: this is exactly how every B2B seller should be selling value. 26:40 – One Pricing Principle That Changes Everything. Kathryn's closing advice—and why expanding possibilities is the fastest path to higher prices.   Key Takeaways: "People at this level, people who buy luxury, like true luxury buyers, they're looking for something that's not necessarily about the value." – Kathryn Porritt "That expanded vision of possibility is the difference. And like I said, that's when pricing becomes almost obsolete in the conversation." – Kathryn Porritt "For a luxury buyer, it's not about the budget." – Kathryn Porritt   People & Resources Mentioned: Iconic Empires – Kathryn's firm helping elite experts position, monetize, and sell at the highest levels. Jeff Bezos – Referenced as an example of true luxury buying behavior where budget is irrelevant Coca-Cola - Mentioned as a corporate example in the context of budget discussions for events.

Are ultra-luxury cruises really worth the eye-watering price? Or is the reality very different from the dream? Most cruisers are fascinated by ultra-luxury lines like Silversea and Regent Seven Seas, but very few have actually sailed them. So after cruising recently on Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Holland America, Celebrity and Princess, I decided to book myself on two ultra-luxury ships – Silver Nova and Regent Seven Seas Splendor – paying the full fare to find out what really changes when you step up to the very top tier of cruising. And what I discovered surprised me. In this video I reveal the big differences – and the unexpected similarities – between regular cruise lines and ultra-luxury. So… is ultra-luxury cruising the ultimate upgrade – or will it leave you wondering where all that extra money went?   Become a Tips For Travellers Patron: https://www.patreon.com/tipsfortravellers and get exclusive Patron-only content, downloads and livestreams Visit my Tips For Travellers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tipsfortravellers   Offers: Get 10% any order of The Cruise Maps who you visit the site using this link: https://www.TheCruiseMaps.com/TFT Get up to 30% off collectible tokens of place you've visited using the link: https://www.TheWanderClub.com/TFT

In this episode of the Ash Said It Show, we dive deep with Julie Colombino-Billingham, the visionary founder of Deux Mains. What started as a disaster relief mission in Haiti turned into a high-end, solar-powered fashion revolution. Julie isn't just making bags; she's rewriting the rules of luxury and prove that "Made in Haiti" is a global gold standard. The name Deux Mains means "Two Hands" in French. But as Julie explains to Ash, it's about way more than just the physical act of sewing. The Heartbeat: It represents a handshake between the person who made the bag and the person who carries it. The Deeper Meaning: It's a bridge that closes the gap between the consumer and the artisan. When you hold a Deux Mains piece, you aren't just holding leather—you're holding the dignity and the future of a professional maker in Port-au-Prince. Deux Mains doesn't just hire people; it's an artisan-owned business. This isn't your typical factory setup. The Soul of the Product: Julie emphasizes that because the artisans have a stake in the company, the quality is unmatched. The Quality Shift: When you own what you make, you don't cut corners. Every stitch carries the pride of someone building their own legacy, not just working for a paycheck. For those of us used to the "cheap and fast" cycle of fast fashion, Julie wants the first touch of a Deux Mains piece to be a sensory reset. "I want them to feel the weight of intention. Fast fashion feels temporary; this feels permanent. It's the difference between a product and a story." Haitian culture is vibrant, loud, and incredibly resilient. Julie weaves that island spirit into every seasonal collection. The Aesthetic: Think bold colors and textures that reflect the local art and the "never-back-down" attitude of the Haitian people. The Vibe: It's a mix of rugged durability and tropical elegance—designed to handle the real world while looking like a work of art. Julie drops a truth bomb on the podcast about what "sustainability" actually means. The Secret: You can't have an "eco-friendly" product if the people making it are in poverty. The Message: True ethical fashion requires a living wage. If a brand saves the planet but exploits the person, it's not sustainable. Julie urges consumers to look for the "how"—like Deux Mains' 100% solar-powered factory and fair trade certifications. Web: https://deuxmains.com/ Looking for that extra spark to level up your life? Say hello to Ash Brown—your go-to American powerhouse, motivational speaker, and the ultimate hype-woman for your personal and professional growth.

Stuart Greif, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Forbes Travel Guide, shares how luxury's rapid growth is reshaping hospitality. Stuart breaks down the data behind luxury's expansion, then explores the second- and third-order effects, including changes in the workforce, leadership readiness, training, and differentiation in an increasingly crowded market. The conversation also looks ahead, discussing how hospitality could play a larger role as other industries change and why human connection and caring matter more as luxury scales.

In a so-called k-shaped economy, higher earners head up on an upward angle, but lower earners, on the lower leg of the “k” drop behind. This bifurcation is also playing out in some corners of the travel industry as ultrahigh-net worth travelers spend to snap up the top level suites, but travelers with less resources are slower to book entry-level rooms. In this episode, host Rebecca Tobin talks with hotels editor Christina Jelski and Jon Makhmaltchi, the founder of J.Mak hospitality, about how hotel companies are physically configuring their properties to appeal to those at top of the k, the pitfalls of over-relying on one market segment and how hotels and advisors are working to attract entry-level and aspirational luxury travelers.

November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption. You might not be able to afford a Balenciaga coat, a Prada bag or a Chanel suit, but you could probably stretch to a branded baseball cap, pair of socks or some other small accessory. According to blogger Venkatesh Rao this is the definition of ‘premium mediocre' a term he came up with to describe the illusion of luxury without the price tag. Is premium mediocre just for fashion? What is the problem with premium mediocre? Why do people purchase premium mediocre products? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Heather Russo is building a luxury staging business in the Boston area. And her path here? Eighteen years in insurance first. I know, right. She is like most of us out there who didn't set out to build a staging business. Today, Heather and I talk about what it really looks like to grow a staging business intentionally. From learning how to manage seasonality and capacity, to making decisions that allow the business to support long-term goals instead of constant burnout. We talk about the moment success starts to stretch you, why hiring often has to happen before you feel ready, and the shift from doing all the things to teaching, documenting, and letting go of control. Heather also shares what changed when she brought on support and later welcomed her husband, Tony, into the business to help with operations and growth. If you're in a season of growth and figuring out what needs to change so the business can keep up, you'll hear yourself in this one.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why the term "hobby business" is damaging to women in this industry and needs to retire How to price your services when you're not making money 12 months out of the year The signs you've hit capacity and actually need help What it's really like bringing your spouse into the business as a partner   RESOURCES:   Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome Rethink Home Interiors: rethinkhomeinteriors.com/ Glen Street Staging on Instagram: www.instagram.com/glenstreetstaging Glen Street Staging: glenstreetstaging.com   If you want to learn how to streamline your operations so you can grow with less stress and burnout in your staging business, enrollment is open for Staging Business School Accelerate Track.

Pack your bags (and maybe a clothespin for your nose) because this week on Hysteria 51 we're going interplanetary and intestinal.First up: luxury travel has officially left Earth. A startup is taking reservations—yes, real money—to be among the first guests at a proposed hotel on the Moon. We're talking deposits that can range from “casual quarter-mil” to a full $1,000,000 just to hold your spot, with the total trip potentially climbing far beyond that once you factor in the whole “rocket commute” situation. It's space tourism with a side of “do they validate parking in low gravity?” Then we come crashing back down to Earth with science that sounds like it was invented in a middle-school cafeteria: the idea that “sniffing farts” could help protect your brain. Under the jokes is a real research thread around hydrogen sulfide (the “rotten egg” gas associated with flatulence) and how it may help protect brain cells in Alzheimer's-related mouse studies—less “weaponized crop dusting,” more “biochemistry doing something weird and promising.” So if you like your weird news with equal parts sci-fi dreams and “please don't say that out loud,” this episode is your perfect storm: moon hotel reservations, space-tourism absurdity, and the unexpectedly serious science of stink.Links & Resources
