Podcasts about Luxury

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.

This sleep hypnosis is for nights when you feel mentally responsible for too much and find it difficult to fully disengage before rest. It's especially supportive before bed after long days of decision-making, caregiving, or quiet overfunctioning, when the body is tired but the mind still feels “on duty.”Set aboard a luxury cruise ship moving steadily through calm nighttime waters, the experience uses smooth pacing, indirect suggestion, and a gentle sense of forward motion to create the feeling of being carried without effort. There's no goal to reach and nothing to manage—only a steady, reliable movement that allows control to soften naturally.The tone is calm, elegant, and unhurried, with spacious pauses that mirror the rhythm of the ocean at night. As the body senses support and continuity, the nervous system is free to settle, allowing sleep to arrive on its own—without trying, fixing, or forcing.Listeners often finish feeling quieter inside, less mentally burdened, and more trusting of rest itself.Best enjoyed at night, lying down, when you want to let go and allow sleep to happen effortlessly.

  Let’s take a tour of a luxury townhouse overlooking Lake Balboa. It’s a waterfront property with stunning views!   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

2025 was anything but predictable for short-term rentals. After a surprisingly strong start, the second half of the year told a very different story — and the December data brings that contrast into sharp focus. In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA Chief Economist Jamie Lane is joined by Bram Gallagher to break down the final U.S. performance numbers and what they reveal about the state of the STR industry heading into 2026.From weakening occupancy to long-awaited ADR growth finally outpacing inflation, the conversation unpacks why topline stability masked huge disparities beneath the surface. While national averages ended the year nearly flat, many operators experienced dramatic wins or losses depending on where they operate, who they serve, and how they're positioned. The episode also explores how broader economic forces — cooling labor markets, mortgage-rate volatility, and a K-shaped economy — showed up clearly in STR performance.Looking ahead, Jamie and Bram dig into pacing data for early 2026, uncovering encouraging signs for spring break and summer travel, especially in resort markets. They also discuss what easing mortgage conditions and stabilizing occupancy could mean for investors considering their next move. Whether you're managing one property or a growing portfolio, this episode helps cut through the noise to understand what really drove performance — and what to watch next.You don't want to miss this episode!Key Takeaways for STR Hosts & Operators2025 was a tale of two halves: Strong performance early in the year gave way to declining occupancy in the back half, despite modest ADR gains.Averages hide extremes: While national occupancy finished flat, nearly half of major markets saw meaningful gains — and others saw steep declines.Luxury outperformed across the board: Higher-priced listings consistently captured stronger (or less negative) occupancy than budget properties, reinforcing the K-shaped economy.Resort markets led the way: Coastal and mountain destinations posted the strongest occupancy and ADR growth, while urban markets continued to struggle.Early 2026 signals are improving: Spring break and summer demand are pacing well, lead times are stabilizing, and easing mortgage conditions may unlock new investment opportunitiesYear End Review:https://www.airdna.co/blog/us-review-december-2025—————Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Today, I am pleased to welcome Paul Boutros, Deputy Chairman and Head of Watches, Americas for Phillip, the leading auction house dedicated to collector's watches. Based in New York City, he helped establish and build the watch department since its launch in 2014. In October 2017, he led Phillips's inaugural New York watch auction, Winning Icons, where Paul Newman's legendary Rolex "Paul Newman" Daytona sold for $17.8 million - the highest result ever for a vintage wristwatch sold at auction. Under his leadership, the Phillips New York team as sold many legendary pieces, including a Heuer Monaco wristwatch gifted by Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando's Rolex GMT-Master worn in "Apocalypse Now", Jack Nicklaus' Rolex Day-Date, and Paul Newman's Rolex "Big Red" Daytona, to mention just a few. In December 2021, his team's fifth annual flagship watch auction achieved $35.9 million, breaking the record for the highest watch auction total in U.S. history. A collector of wristwatches since childhood, Paul is a specialist in their authentication and valuation. Frequently appearing on television programs sharing tips on watch collecting, he has hosted talks for investment banks, luxury brands, and magazines. As the former watch columnist for Barron's PENTA, Paul has been published or cited in numerous publications including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Forbes, and Robb Report. Paul serves as a Trustee for the Horological Society of New York, an Honorary Committee Member of the Gerald Genta Heritage Association, and as an Academy Member of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG). Paul also serves as a strategy consultant to luxury brands through his firm, Boutros Group. To start off, Paul tells us about the exotic world of luxury time pieces. He tells the story of how the luxury watch landscape has evolved and how UHNW individuals and families are viewing watches today as a component of their portfolio's alternative assets allocation. We then talk about what sets unique time pieces apart from the "mere mortal" expensive watches. Paul helps us understand and define what makes a luxury watch a collectible piece.>/p> Paul offers some tips for families and family offices on how to get started, especially if they are new to luxury watch investing and collecting. He goes into detail on how one can find the right watch for their needs and goals. An important consideration in this specialized segment of alternative investments is protecting against fraud and other unique threats. Paul provides invaluable pointers into what UHNW families need to know about how to avoid the risks inherent in the world of luxury watches and how to protect against being taken advantage of. Finally, he describes the important role the family office can and should play in this process. Do not miss this fascinating and deeply insightful conversation with one of the world's leading experts on luxury time pieces and collectible watches.

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

Luxury home design is no longer defined by finishes and floor plans alone. High-end homeowners are asking their homes to support performance and wellness. Brad Robinson, president of Bradford Custom Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the evolving landscape of luxury home design and the trends shaping today's high-end market. Redefining Luxury: Wellness-Driven Design Robinson said, “The way I see luxury evolving is how your home makes you feel, how it helps you perform, how your home creates a sense of rejuvenation and prepares you to go back into the world and perform at your peak.” Many of Bradford's clients are high performers in their professional lives and have already optimized other aspects of their day-to-day routines. As a result, these homeowners are now asking more from their built environments. To meet those expectations, Bradford Custom Homes developed the Bradford Elemental System, a wellness-driven design framework that focuses on three foundational components: air, water and light. Each element is intentionally integrated into the design and construction process to improve comfort, health and overall performance within the home. Unlike traditional construction models, Bradford does not simply execute a completed set of plans. Instead, the company takes a leadership role early in the process, ensuring wellness goals are carried through every phase of design and construction. “We serve as expert representatives for owners and connect them through the correct architecture or the architects, the designers, the interior designers and the right engineers that know how to bring these systems together,” said Robinson. “We serve as that central conduit to help ensure that vision is really aligned and brought to life.” By prioritizing wellness at the systems level—not just through surface-level amenities—Bradford is redefining what luxury living means in today's custom home market. Luxury Home Design Trends Robinson highlights several design trends taking shape in the luxury home market: Sustainability: Homebuyers want more sustainable products incorporated into their homes that don't off-gas or affect the indoor air quality. Traditional design returns: Out-of-town buyers are choosing natural materials and “tried and true” design elements alongside more contemporary styles. Durability in the kitchen: Quartz and porcelain countertops are in style, thanks to their durability and hygiene. While these surfaces may not offer the same heat resistance as some materials, they provide a higher level of cleanliness. Homeowners are also looking for NSF-rated and 100% nonporous options for an added level of sanitation. Wellness-driven primary suites: From circadian lighting to enhanced ventilation, Robinson notes that his clients are choosing design elements that encourage recovery and recharge. Smart Home Integration Smart home technology continues to shape luxury living, but power resiliency is becoming a growing concern in Atlanta. To address this, Bradford installs EcoFlow systems and natural gas backup generators, ensuring critical systems like energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and water filtration remain operational. “There are some amazing and cool features when it comes to pressing a button,” said Robinson. “But what happens when we have rolling brownouts? The AI data centers are going to get preference for power before the residents will.” Multigenerational Living & Flexibility Post-COVID-19 lifestyles have fueled demand for multigenerational living and aging-in-place designs. As families share space, there is a need for private living areas, whether as a main-level bedroom suite or accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Many families are also adding expansive outdoor spaces designed for communal and individual use, including pools, outdoor fitness spaces and even saunas. “People are making those meaningful investments in their home so they want to stay there,” said Robinson. “The average homeowner spends 18 hours a day in their house.” 2026: Year of Innovation Robinson said, “I’ve been working very hard and behind the scenes, I’ve created a private equity fund that’s going to give us the ability to dip our toes into some of the ultra-high-net-worth markets and some of those communities that we’ve aspired to build in.” Bradford has a new project set to appear in Atlanta Style & Design Magazine in March, which will showcase wellness-focused design, integrated technology and high-performance materials. The project utilizes insulated concrete forms (ICF) and HydroBlok wall assemblies to create fully waterproof, mold-resistant envelopes while maintaining high-performance interiors. Tune in to the full episode to learn how Bradford Custom Homes is setting a new standard for custom homes in Atlanta and beyond. Learn more at www.BradfordBuilds.com.

Send us a textThe new luxury in 2026 isn't loud. It's intentional.It's time, peace, health, clarity, and the freedom to choose yourself without apology.In this episode, I unpack what we're really craving beneath the labels, bags, and milestones.

Send us a message!Last week with Moriya Rockman, we explored luxury through the lens of growth, relationships, and what it takes to scale a high-end portfolio without losing the hospitality at the center. This week, Nir Maimon brings the conversation to the definition itself, what “luxury” should mean, how it should be verified, and why the category loses trust when the label gets used too loosely.“Luxury” has become one of the most overused words in vacation rentals, and that is exactly the problem.In this episode, Alex and Annie sit down with Nir Maimon, President and Co-Founder of The Maimon Group, to break down how he evaluates luxury with a practical framework that starts with the operator and ends with the asset. Nir shares why luxury cannot be treated as a marketing adjective, what happens when guest expectations fall short, and why platforms and operators need clearer standards if the category wants to keep its credibility.They also get into what verification can look like in practice, why Nir's team says “no” far more than they say “yes,” and how their approach to service, personalization, and systems supports the level of trust luxury guests expect.Episode Chapters:00:00 – Welcome to Alex & Annie: The Real Women of Vacation Rentals01:11 – Nir's background and what The Maimon Group does in ultra-luxury02:18 – The core issue: “luxury” is being misused in vacation rentals04:26 – Nir's framework: luxury starts with the operator, then the asset06:45 – How Nir scores luxury (location, layout, privacy, finishes, noise, access, amenities)08:34 – The trust gap: what OTAs get wrong without verification15:48 – LPMS and the travel advisor workflow (how trust gets protected in bookings)24:02 – Big-event travel and why groups keep choosing homes27:45 – Personalization at scale: CRM, surveys, and concierge ownership31:10 – AI in hospitality: start with clean data, then layer automation with human validation38:08 – Looking ahead to 2026: “deployment,” standards, and repeatable excellenceConnect with Nir:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nir-maimon-59024595/ The Maimon Group: https://www.themaimongroup.com/  LPMS: https://thelpms.com/ ✨ Exclusive Offer to Alex & Annie Listeners:Streamline your short-term rental operations with Hostfully.Mention the Alex & Annie Podcast when you sign up and get free onboarding ($1000 value).

Mike Johnson, Dylan Mathews, and Ali Mac continue to react to the Atlanta Falcons announcing that they have named Bill Callahan as their offensive line coach, talk about who they think the Falcons next offensive coordinator could be and should be, and explain why they think the Falcons have the luxury of taking more time to explore their options at Offensive Coordinator and General Manager.

Luxury shows up in the small moments, not the marble — and that idea sits at the core of this episode of #NoVacancyNews. I spent time with Christophe Baraton, General Manager of Shutters on the Beach, to talk about what hospitality looks like when you lead from the property level instead of a spreadsheet. Christophe runs a 30-year-old beachfront hotel with deep roots in its local community, long-tenured team members, and guests who return because they feel known. We talk about leadership during crisis, how Shutters became a refuge for locals during the Los Angeles fires, and why anticipation—not opulence—defines modern #luxury. What stood out to me is how clearly he connects culture to results. When employees feel cared for, guests feel it immediately. We cover:

Have you ever felt guilty for wanting things to be easier at your school... and then immediately felt selfish for wanting these things? What does it truly mean to experience luxury as a school leader?   In part two of the Leadership Luxury Series, I explore the idea that luxury isn't about having all the things at your fingertips. It's about the energetic experience you have as a human walking on your campus, feeling proud of who you are, what you stand for, and the commitment of your teachers and students.   Tune in this week to hear why we feel shame around our desire for luxury and how to reclaim the luxury that's already in your life. You'll learn how to hold the duality of luxury, which means embracing both the good and the balance that comes with it. This episode will help you expand your capacity to receive the luxuries you already have while creating space for new ones.   Find the full episode show notes and transcript, click here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/421   Keep up with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/akellycoaching/

For this final mini episode, I read a poem by Lorde, titled “Hanging Fire,” which is an honest and moving portrayal of adolescence. A link to the poem is at talkingaboutkids.com.

What really happens behind the scenes at Warrior Time? In this episode, Chris Warnes breaks down how we actually buy, sell, and vet luxury watches, from Rolex and Omega to Audemars Piguet and beyond. This isn't a highlight reel or a sales pitch. It's an honest look at the standards, decisions, and process that protect collectors when serious money is involved.We cover how luxury watches are sourced, how authenticity and condition are verified, what makes a watch worth buying (or walking away from), and why reputation matters more than hype in the secondary market.OUR CHRONO24 STORE: https://www.chrono24.com/dealer/warriortime/

Fully & Completely: ReduxEpisode 103— Road Apples (1991)A presentation of The Tragically Hip Podcast SeriesHosted by jD and Greg LeGrosIf Up to Here was the sound of a band kicking the barroom doors open, Road Apples is what happens when they walk in knowing the room already belongs to them.Released in February 1991, this record lands right in the middle of a cultural earthquake — Nevermind, Ten, The Black Album, Out of Time, Loveless, Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Rock music is shedding its hairspray, sharpening its teeth, and looking for something that feels real again.And here come The Tragically Hip — louder, darker, more confident, and somehow more mysterious than ever.In this episode of Fully & Completely: Redux, jD and Greg LeGros dig into Road Apples as the moment where the band perfects their bar-band bravado — and then quietly starts planning their escape from it. Produced once again by Don Smith, recorded largely live off the floor, this album sounds like five guys in a room who trust each other completely… and aren't afraid to push.We talk about:Why 1991 might be the most important year in modern musicRoad Apples as the band's first true leap — not just forward, but outwardThe brilliance of Little Bones as an all-time album openerGord Downie's emerging lyrical mythos — cab drivers, King Lear, Macbeth, and prison-yard staresHow Cordelia and The Luxury reveal a darker, more literary HipWhy Long Time Running becomes one of the band's first truly communal songsThe quiet devastation of Fiddler's GreenAnd how Last of the Unplucked Gems gently closes the door on one era… and opens anotherThis is the album where the confidence hardens, the writing deepens, and the band stops sounding like anyone else. The last gasp of their blues-rock skin — and the first clear signal that something bigger is coming.School's still in session.And things are starting to get interesting.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tthtop40/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Esta semana, en nuestras Islas de Noche, nos centramos en el rock clásico que a mediados de los 70 daba ya muestras de agotamiento creativo pese al éxito de la fórmula, que, por otra parte, ya empezaba a pasar de moda. Con todo, en esa encrucijada gloriosa que supuso la mitad de la década, los grandes, que aún seguirían llenando estadios durante décadas pese a su evidente decadencia, todavía fueron capaces de sacarse de la manga grandes canciones -e incluso aún algún disco notable más-. Eso sí, de aquí en adelante ya nada volvió a ser lo mismo. Suenan: LED ZEPPELIN - "Night Flight" ("PHYSICAL GRAFFITI", 1975) / THE WHO - "Dreaming From The Waist" ("WHO BY NUMBERS", 1975) / THE KINKS - "No More Looking Back" ("SCHOOLBOYS IN DISGRACE", 1975) / ROY WOOD - "Any Old Time Will Do" ("MUSTARD", 1975) / GRAND FUNK RAILROAD - "Bad Time" ("ALL THE GIRLS IN THE WORLD BEWARE", 1974) / BEAU BRUMMELS - "Singing Cowboy" ("BEAU BRUMMELS", 1975) / DANNY KIRWAN - "Second Chapter" ("SECOND CHAPTER", 1975) / FLEETWOOD MAC - "Come a Little Bit Closer" ("HEROES ARE HARD TO FIND", 1974) / WINGS - "Letting Go" ("VENUS AND MARS", 1975) / ROLLING STONES - "Luxury" ("IT'S ONLY ROCK AND ROLL", 1974) / CHAPMAN-WHITNEY - "Showbiz Joe" ("STREETWALKERS", 1974) / TRAFFIC - "Something New" ("WHEN THE EAGLE FLIES", 1974) / Escuchar audio

This episode of The Sidebar Podcast is unapologetically remedial — in the best way.From admitting baddie tendencies and questioning how “straight” straight really is, to awkward neighbor interactions and conversations that spiral fast, this episode leans fully into chaos, honesty, and uncomfortable truths.The conversation moves through culture, politics, and identity — touching on Black conservatism, luxury and Black culture, ICE being out of control, and what it means to be “high functioning” in a society that keeps moving the goalposts. There's commentary on sports, politics, internet moments, and unexpected takes that only make sense once you hear them out loud.If you've ever felt like everyone else got the syllabus and you didn't — welcome.This one's remedial.0:00 — Intro1:48 — Royce admits he is a baddie2:58 — Straightness is a spectrum (because… porn)7:07 — Do you speak to your neighbors?10:09 — “A white woman molested my dog”14:14 — John Harbaugh fired21:24 — Lamar doesn't like Baltimore (Leise reacts)24:26 — Black people are really conservatives35:00 — Luxury and Black culture53:00 — ICE is out of control1:08:00 — Remedial, high functioning, Donald Trump & Cuban MAGA1:22:17 — Huntrix is dope1:23:22 — Outro / Wrap-up

Adam Beckerink is now formally charged with murder in the death of his wife, Cailtyn Tracey, in October 2024.

Welcome back, WIFs!In this cozy catch-up episode, sisters Lauren and Michelle reflect on the sweetness of the post-holiday pause, sip Costco hot green tea, and talk about what they're intentionally caring less about—from anxiety-inducing college admissions noise to that pesky whisker. They share why the week between Christmas and New Year is pure magic, unpack a meaningful New Year ritual that led to the word correspondence, and explore what it looks like to go slower and focus on tiny, thoughtful details.The conversation naturally flows into a hot topic close to their hearts: why 2026 feels like the year of analog, from puzzles and snail mail to vinyl, planners, and real phone calls. Plus, there's sponsor love, cozy media recs, and Simple Joys of the Week—including lingering Christmas lights and heartfelt handwritten notes that prove written words still matter.Press play, snuggle up, and settle into this comforting, intentional, and very cozy conversation.Resources:2026 PlannersCostco Green TeaWhy Everyone Is Logging Off in 2026PLG Maven Use our code Cozy Maven for 10% off.
