    Send us a textThe Mickeyphile Podcast — Episode 241: Disneyland at 70: Disneyland Hotel and  “Same but Different” RidesWe're back with another chapter in our ongoing celebration of Disneyland's 70th Birthday—because after five nights, endless snacks, and enough California rain to qualify as a water feature, clearly we weren't done yet.In this episode, we dive deeper into our stay at the historic Disneyland Hotel, where nostalgia reigns supreme and the carpet patterns are… a bold artistic statement. We also revisit our attempts to enjoy nighttime entertainment that was, once again, completely drenched. Magical? Yes. Dry? Absolutely not.We continue our quest for the full 70th Key and MagicBand+ activities, also known as “collect them all even though our feet are staging a protest.” From charming classics like Alice in Wonderland and Snow White's Enchanted Wish, to the “same but different” versions of our Walt Disney World favorites—Pirates of the Caribbean, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, and Peter Pan's Flight—we break down what surprised us, what confused us, and what made us question our internal theme-park GPS.Plus, we sprinkle in updates about the Holidays at Walt Disney World and a few other bits of Disney news that caught our eye this week.All that—and whatever else we manage to get distracted by—on Episode 241 of The Mickeyphile Podcast. Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/946434275769168/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mickeyphile_podcast/Music: “Cân thema (Mickeyphile Podcast Theme)” copyright Scott Daves 2024

    Welcome to Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio! I'm Cleve Gaddis, here to help you go from real estate novice to expert so buying and selling a home can be done with total confidence and without the fear, confusion, and second-guessing that often come with life's biggest investments. In this episode, we're kicking things off with the Metro Atlanta Real Estate FAST STATS for the entire month of October—what's up, what's down, and what these numbers actually mean for buyers and sellers heading into the holiday season. Next, in our “Something You Should Know About Atlanta” segment, we're taking you to one of North Georgia's most beloved holiday traditions: Magical Nights of Lights at Lake Lanier. Whether you've never been or you go every year, this sparkling drive-through display is back and brighter than ever. Then we're tackling a listener question from David in Peachtree Corners, who asks: “How do you spot a great deal in a competitive market?” When homes go under contract faster than you can schedule a tour, it's easy to feel like the right house is always out of reach. But there are still real opportunities—if you know where (and how) to look. We'll talk about overlooked listings, strategic timing, pricing clues, and how to identify true value even when the market's hot. We'll also share details about our Upside Program, designed to give homeowners and buyers more clarity, options, and flexibility than ever before. And a special thanks to our show sponsor, O'Kelley & Sorohan, for supporting this week's episode. Have a question, want to challenge something you hear, or want to feature your neighborhood?

But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.” We all know the importance of being fully present. But what does deep presence actually look like?  Meet my Auntie MaryAnn… A mother of 5, a grandmother of 10, a lover of all animals, MaryAnn is a special blend of love I've rarely experienced.  “Katie!” She exclaimed when I saw her last week on a trip my family and I took to hang with her daughter (and one of my closest friends) Jackie. “I'm so kitzeled to spend time with you tomorrow!” Referring to our scheduled walk the three of us would take the next day.  She went on to explain, “kitzeled in Jewish means everything inside of me is bursting with excitement to see you!”  I melted a bit in that moment as I blinked away a few happy tears.  To be seen as that important to someone felt like a warm bear hug.  When was the last time you felt that?  When was the last time you made someone else feel that?  The next day, Auntie MaryAnn arrived at the house and as Jackie's daughter rounded the corner of the hall and saw her grandma, her eyes lit up and her smile spread wide across her face. “Grandma!” She said as the two embraced.  Everything inside of her was bursting with excitement to see her granddaughter too.  And her granddaughter felt it.  She felt seen and loved.  Our walk began and my aunt told us stories and asked us about our lives. She listened intensely, open and curious, slow to respond so as to make sure we had the space to share anything we needed to.  She was the embodiment of presence.    When she did respond, she spoke words of encouragement and wisdom.  I felt seen and loved.  By the end of our time together, I turned to her and said, “Auntie MaryAnn, you have a gift for making a person feel like they're the only person who exists in the world.”  She smiled in the knowing way loving, wise women do and hugged me. “I love you, and I'm so proud of you.” She whispered in my ear.  The tears rose in my eyes immediately and my throat locked up. Something deep within me healed in that moment. And she was the angel who healed it.  Just because she saw me. Just because she was present with me.  The Impact of Deep Presence I'll be the first to admit that I can get caught up in the rush of life. There's work to do, animals to feed, dishes to put away, clothes to wash and a constant movement to the days.  But then my daughter taps on my side and looks at me with her beautiful chocolate eyes and asks, “Mom, can we dance?” She pulls me back into the present moment and reminds me that life is lived right now.   I lose myself in the motion of our dance and when our eyes lock, I can see the same warmth spread through her the same way it did through me when Auntie MaryAnn was present with me.  I see her. And she feels it.  How do you feel when you are seen?  When someone's full attention is in the present moment with you?  What heals inside of you?  What possibilities arise?  How much deeper do your roots grow?  How much more sun is in your sky?  The impact of presence is that the love that connects us flows freely and abundantly.  Without ego.  Without urgency.  For us to give. For us to receive.  And in this flow, we become a little more brave to be fully ourselves. And isn't that the whole point?  Today, I propose you take a lesson from my Auntie MaryAnn and show up to a conversation, a moment, or an interaction with your full attention.  With openness and curiosity and a whole lotta kitzel.  Just see what it creates  Love,  Katie To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: Priya Parker is a master facilitator, conflict resolution expert, and author of the bestselling book The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters. Priya has spent decades facilitating difficult conversations in boardrooms, communities, and conflict zones. In this conversation, she reveals the mechanics of meaningful gathering and why most of us are doing it wrong. Key Learnings A facilitator is interested in the life of a group. I think of facilitation as working with people who are interested in the infrastructure of three or more people who need to come together and are ideally changed for the better by what transpires between them. A facilitator thinks deeply about how to set up the conditions to increase the likelihood that transformation happens. Great facilitators are obsessed with language. There's listening to make someone feel heard, but the difference between green facilitators and seasoned ones is an obsession and ability to hear, recall, and play with language. You have to understand what people are actually saying and be able to reflect it back in ways that unlock new meaning. Understanding power is essential to facilitation. You need to know how decisions are being made, who is talking more than others, when to allow for that, and what your own relationship is to holding the group. When do you shut up? When do you pull people out? When do you push back? All of this is fundamentally about understanding power dynamics. I'm a third-generation ostrich. On both sides of my family, when conflict arises, we stick our heads in the sand. Nothing to see here, folks. But I've cultivated the ability to hold heat. Even now, when facilitating a reckoning and the heat rises, my palms still get sweaty, I can feel my heart racing, blood rushing to my cheeks. But I've learned how to stay present with that discomfort. Counterintuitively, having deep empathy for people who want to flee makes me more effective. "90% of the success of what happens in the room, and as a facilitator, happens before anybody arrives." This is what my mentor Randa Slim taught me, and it's absolutely true. The construction of the house happens before anyone gets there. Dr. Hal Saunders changed everything for me. He was an American diplomat who served five presidential administrations and was part of the Camp David Accords. After leaving government, he realized that while governments can create peace treaties, people's perceptions of each other on the ground haven't necessarily changed. He trained me as a teenager in sustained dialogue, and I learned facilitation the way it should be learned—through apprenticeship. Even in his seventies and eighties, he always believed he had something to learn. The first questions people ask you signify what they value. When I arrived at the University of Virginia, people kept asking, "What are you?" I learned quickly that they meant racially. My mother, an anthropologist, had taught me that the first questions a community asks reveal what matters most to them. Race was clearly very important there. I made myself a conflict resolution facilitator. Growing up between two vastly different households—toggling every two weeks between a vegetarian, Buddhist home where the word "God" was never mentioned and an evangelical Christian home where we never ate before saying Grace. I became deeply interested in when and why and how people come together, what they think of as normal, how they create and change cultures, and how they come apart. Your highest real estate is when people are together in the same place at the same time. Wasting time in the room figuring out what to say or do is actually wasting everyone's time. A huge part of preparing for any gathering is figuring out what the right conversation is for this group to have, and how to equip them to have it well. Think of military pre-mission briefs. They're really good at setting mission objectives. This is the goal, this is what we're striving for. Then they debrief afterward to learn and do better next time. That same discipline applies to any gathering, whether it's a leadership retreat or hosting dinner at your house. Every gathering is a social contract. You're creating a temporary constitution. At a dinner party, there's an implicit rule: bring a bottle of wine. People find out they've broken the constitution when someone says, "Wow, they didn't even bring a housewarming gift." We have all these implicit norms, and in diverse groups... Which is every group, not just racially, but people with different assumptions about how things work—you need to make the contract explicit. Elizabeth Stewart ran a startup networking organization and wanted it to be a true community, not just a shark tank for pitches. She created a pop-up rule: you can't talk about what you're selling. No pitches. Super counterintuitive for a networking night, but it created exactly what she wanted... Trust and long-lasting relationships rather than transactional encounters. The rule signified what she was trying to create. Using your power as a host means protecting your guests. You're temporarily equalizing people so they can coordinate group life. Gathering is fundamentally a coordination problem: helping people understand what the rules are, protecting them, and connecting them. There are moments when you should surprise people. If a team is stuck in a 50-year-old institution that's always done things the same way, and they'll die institutionally if they don't change, maybe the purpose is to build their skills for discomfort and navigating uncertainty. In that case, maybe you don't tell them the full roadmap because the practice itself is learning to navigate the unknown. Making things explicit and transparent equalizes the room. Showing the roadmap is deeply beneficial, particularly to people with less power and knowledge. For newer people who don't know how things work, for people with other obligations like tending to an elderly parent or being a student athlete with fixed schedules, transparency helps level the playing field. But it may not always be your purpose. Before you default to a dinner party, ask what you actually need. If the goal is to laugh hysterically and create memories with friends you don't see enough, a dinner party might not be the best form. Maybe you should play kickball in the park, stage a made-up pickleball championship, go to a morning rave, or take a party bus to a concert. We're so boxed into thinking about how adults must hang out. When hosting dinner parties, keep the menu relatively simple. Increase the meaning dial and it decreases the pressure on food quality. Think about food that tells a story. The invitation matters deeply. I could send an invitation: "Come enjoy my best attempts at Ruth's BLTs." My grandmother's recipe that takes me back to childhood. I tell the story in the email, narrow the expectations, and create a social contract. This is for BLTs. If you're a vegetarian, you can take out the bacon. And please don't bring your mushroom penne, not in this context. Then I ask: bring a story of a dish that takes you back to childhood. The whole night plays itself. Magical questions are questions everyone in the group is interested in answering, and everyone would be interested in hearing each other's answers. It's a magical equation. It's subjective and relative to each group. My seven-year-old daughter once asked at dinner: "What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done that was worth it?" We laughed and shared for two hours. My son asked my elderly father: "What's the meanest thing you ever did to anybody before the age of 15?" That caveat, before age 15, temporarily equalized everyone at the table. Testing and practicing are how you develop the muscle. I test questions on my team, I think through social arithmetic: what do these specific people have in common, what don't they have in common, what's the right level of vulnerability? I ask my community on Instagram and Substack to share their magical questions. Someone from Brazil sent me: "Would you rather spend 10 minutes on the moon or one year traveling through Europe?" It inspires heated debates in his friend group. My favorite question for virtual groups: "What was the first concert you ever went to, and who took you?" People pause, then you see a waterfall of answers—Bonnie Raitt, Madonna, New Kids on the Block. Everyone's interested in seeing everyone else's answers. You realize who's here, you see there's someone behind everyone (my sister, my mother, my college girlfriend), and you increase the likelihood that people realize these are real humans.  Creating psychological togetherness on Zoom is my single most important skill. During the pandemic, I lost all my physical facilitation tools. I couldn't chase someone into the bathroom to convince them to come back, couldn't use my body to signal it's time to quiet down. I was just a little green square. Magical questions became my most powerful tool for creating psychological togetherness when people aren't in the same room. Ryan's champagne question works because it's visceral and emotional. "We're meeting exactly one year from today and popping bottles, what are we celebrating?" That's not "what's your goal for the year." That's boring. You pop champagne for something that matters emotionally. It's a somatic, physical question that forces people to think big because you're not popping champagne about something boring. The responsibility of gathering is about both connection and power. Particularly in work contexts, you can ask questions that are too vulnerable or that aren't appropriate. You need to protect your guests by ensuring questions relate to the purpose of the convening. Asking "what's a core experience from your early life that connects to why you do the work you do today?" helps people understand motivations without crossing lines. Questions can open up the world. They're a sequence of words that, if you ask them in a specific way, can fundamentally change what's possible. Being genuinely curious and fascinated about people and their stories and life experiences will change your life. Full stop. Writing The Art of Gathering let me articulate what deeply frustrated me about gatherings and try to convince other people it should frustrate them too. What's been beautiful is that people are starting to get fed up with mediocre gatherings and expect better of how we spend our time together. They're realizing we can change it with some thought, some temerity, some bumping around. The pandemic made the book even more relevant. The paperback came out in April 2020, when gathering was banned, which was super awkward. But by taking gathering from us, we began to see it. We began to see that this thing we took for granted shapes our lives—how we wed, fight battles in court, host funerals, host galas. People started asking first-order questions: when and where and why should we meet, and who decides? That's a powerful question to be asking. Anyone can gather. Many of the hundred gatherers I interviewed for the book identified as introverts, loners, people on the outside of things, people with social anxiety. As one person said, "I create the gatherings I wish existed in the world. And other people seem to like it." Reflection Questions What gathering in your life, whether a team meeting, family dinner, or community event, would be transformed if you paused to clearly define its purpose before diving into logistics and form? Think about a group you're part of where people come from different backgrounds and assumptions. What explicit "social contract" or ground rules could you create to help everyone understand how to show up and what's expected? What's a magical question you could ask in your next gathering that everyone would be interested in answering and everyone would want to hear each other's responses to?

    The Magical Mitzvah that Reveals the Divine Line – Key Takeaways Baruch Gartner explores the unique power of Tzedakah (charity) and why it is considered equal to all other mitzvahs in the Torah. Based on teachings from Rabbi Nachman and Rabbi Nassen, Tzedakah helps remove the spiritual "shadow" cast by our physical nature, which blocks the divine light from entering our lives. Giving charity is described as a way to reveal Hashem's (God's) glory in the world and in our personal lives, dissolving lack and hardship. Tzedakah atones for transgressions by removing partitions that disconnect us from the Divine Presence. The ultimate goal of all mitzvahs is to experience and reveal the honor and glory of Hashem—Tzedakah, more than any other mitzvah, directly achieves this. This practice is described as “the way of Avraham Avinu”—living in alignment with the Divine, bringing light and sweetness into the world through generosity. Listen in to discover how Tzedakah is not just charity, but a powerful spiritual tool for transformation and divine connection!

    Send us a textIn this episode, I'm chatting with author Laura Resau about her novel The Alchemy of Flowers.A walled garden in the south of France. A woman carrying the weight of infertility and the ache of what might have been. An author who believes that myth, nature, and careful attention can turn pain into something living. That's the ground we walk together with Laura Resau, whose debut adult novel, The Alchemy of Flowers, blends sensory delight with hard-earned hope.We start with Laura's unusual path—trilingual, trained in cultural anthropology, shaped by seasons in Provence and Oaxaca—and how immersion in other cultures taught her to write with reverence for place and people. She shares why she shifted from award-winning children's books to adult fiction, carrying forward wonder while making room for layered reflection. Magical realism isn't a trick here; it's a way of telling the truth. Laura draws on myth to map inner journeys, then roots that map in the real work of a healing garden: herbs, salves, teas, and the slow patience of tending.At the heart of our conversation is the compost metaphor that sparked the novel: how do we turn our crap into flowers? Eloise, our protagonist, manages literal compost while metabolizing years of loss, guilt, and tightly controlled routines. We explore restraint versus freedom, the cultural noise around fertility, and the relief of stepping off that hamster wheel—even inside a garden with walls. Found family deepens the story's warmth, especially through Mina, whose act of writing through trauma echoes Laura's real-life collaboration on The Queen of Water, a testament to storytelling as a path to repair.Come for the rich textures—French meals that stretch past midnight, treehouses and yurts, a garden that feels both sanctuary and crucible. Stay for the craft insights, the mythic threads, and the gentle insistence that transformation is possible. If you've ever needed fiction that meets your pain without flinching and still promises bloom, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves literary fiction and magical realism, and leave a review to help more readers find the show.

    About Harpaul Sambhi:Harpaul Sambhi is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of Magical, where he's building Agentic AI for healthcare to transform how people and systems interact in one of the world's most vital industries. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Harpaul combines a deep technical background with a passion for human-centered innovation.

A graduate of the University of Waterloo with a degree in electrical engineering, he continues to live by curiosity, humility, and the drive to create technology that serves people, not the other way around.About Doug Hires:Douglas Hires is a seasoned healthcare executive, consultant, and entrepreneur with over 35 years of leadership experience across the healthcare and information technology sectors. Based in Dallas, Texas, Douglas has built a distinguished career driving operational excellence, business transformation, and financial performance for some of the nation's leading healthcare organizations.

He also advises healthcare and sales organizations through roles with Healthcare IT Leaders and SalesSparx LLC, lending his strategic insight to help teams scale with precision and purpose.Previously, Douglas held multiple senior leadership roles at Optum, including Chief Operating Officer for OptumInsight Provider and COO of the Hospital Services Division, overseeing end-to-end revenue cycle operations for Dignity Health's 36 hospitals. His earlier career includes executive roles at Santa Rosa Consulting, 3M Health Information Systems, SoftMed Systems, and First Consulting Group, where he earned recognition as a respected thought leader and sought-after industry speaker.Things You'll Learn:Agentic AI surpasses automation by reasoning, adapting, and executing end-to-end workflows, thereby freeing healthcare workers from repetitive tasks.Healthcare organizations are already seeing results, such as doubling prior authorization volume while cutting staff needs and decision times in half.The shift from RPA to agentic AI mirrors the evolution from MapQuest to autonomous vehicles, smarter, smoother, and self-correcting.Successful AI adoption requires attention to change management and staff reallocation, not just technology deployment.Evaluating AI vendors using six key pillars (reasoning, adaptability, interoperability, agility, scalability, and fault tolerance) helps cut through the hype and identify real solutions.Resources:Connect with and follow Harpaul Sambhi on LinkedIn.Connect with and follow Doug Hires on LinkedIn.Follow Magical on LinkedIn.Visit Magical's website.
