We head to Magic Kingdom for a night of spooky fun at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025! This is one of our favorite events of the year, and this season felt bigger, brighter, and somehow even more magical than before. From the moment we stepped through the fog and heard that “Boo to You” parade music drifting down Main Street, we knew we were in for a night packed with tricks, treats, and a whole lot of fun.But first, we tried the return of Salt & Straw's Tacolate (yes, a chocolate taco filled with cinnamon-ancho ice cream!) and every spooky limited time treat from Everglazed, including the Nutella Boston Scream, Haunted Hour, and Spooky Tombstone, and we even grabbed the limited-edition Chai Sugar Showgirl Cupcake from Sprinkles — a Taylor-inspired treat that might just steal the show.Then on to MNSSHP, where we break down everything you need to know before heading to the party yourself — from ticket details and arrival times to the best tips to help you make the most of your evening. We share when to grab your wristbands, how to beat the candy lines, and which characters you'll want to prioritize early before their queues fill up. And of course, we talk all about the incredible entertainment lineup — from the Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks hosted by Jack Skellington, to the Boo-To-You Parade (complete with the Headless Horseman), and the always entertaining Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular with the Sanderson Sisters.We also talk costume comfort tips (Florida heat, anyone?), and give our best advice for making the most of those precious five hours of Halloween magic. Grab your candy bag and your Mickey ears — it's time to Boo-to-You right along with us!

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! On Crown Point's Main Street stands a charming red-brick mansion hiding a chilling secret—the Old Lake County Jail. Once home to just ten cells, it eventually crammed in 150 inmates by 1928. Among them was America's most wanted gangster, John Dillinger, who famously escaped in 1934, leaving his captors humiliated—and some spirits behind. Though Dillinger slipped away, many prisoners never left. Visitors report apparitions of inmates and guards, the clang of cell doors slamming shut, phantom footsteps on the metal stairs, and whispers in dark hallways long after closing hours. Locals say this historic jail still holds those who served a life sentence—and never stopped. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we join Jacquie Thompson and Sandy Boyd to explore the haunted history of Old Lake County Jail. From the building's violent past to modern-day paranormal encounters, we uncover why this site is believed to be one of Indiana's most haunted places. This is Part Two of our conversation. For more information on the jail, tours, and paranormal investigations, visit their website at oldsheriffshouse.org or their Facebook page at Old Lake County Jail. #HauntedJail #OldLakeCountyJail #JohnDillingerGhost #RealGhostStories #HauntedIndiana #HistoricHauntings #GhostlyPrisoners #TheGraveTalks #HauntedPlaces #TrueParanormal #ParanormalInvestigations #GhostHunting Love real ghost stories?

646. We talk to Dr. Thomas Smith about his series of Red String novels, set in 19th century Mississippi River and Central Louisiana. His first novel in the series is Just a Piece of Red String: Antebellum Voodoo and Vengeance. In antebellum Natchez, Mississippi, and the bustling city of New Orleans, cousins Sawyer Dundee and Solomon Witcher come into manhood, each charting a dramatically different course. While Sawyer remains in Natchez to run the family business, the charismatic Solomon seeks his fortune, chasing legendary buried treasure and trying his luck at cards in New Orleans. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy. The oldest play about Louisiana, author James Workman wrote it as a celebration of the Louisiana Purchase.

While traveling about a hunter was overtaken by darkness and thought, “I will camp for the night and go home next morning.” Near by was something which he took to be a tree pulled up by the roots, and he thought, “I will make a fire there.” So he leaned his gun up against it and hung his shot pouch on it. But really it was a bison and what he hung his shot pouch on was the horn. It got up and ran off bellowing, carrying the shot pouch. After it got a long distance away it threw it off.

On a fiery segment with host Mike, economist Christian Briggs lays out why H-1B has morphed into a corporate cost-cutting scam that suppresses U.S. wages and drains local economies. He backs Trump's plan to slap hefty fees on H-1B hires, forcing Big Tech to either pay foreign talent fairly or finally hire qualified Americans. Briggs demolishes the “talent shortage” myth, calling it what it is: a wage-suppression strategy that ships prosperity overseas and starves U.S. communities of spending, tax revenue, and growth.He argues a 20% wage boost would echo across Main Street. More iPhones, new cars, home remodels, pools…fueling a real economic ecosystem instead of funneling cash to corporate balance sheets. His bottom line: stop outsourcing the American Dream. If companies want top global talent, pay for it, but quit undercutting U.S. workers.Bonus from Briggs: regarding the precious metals outlook…gold & silver is solid, but platinum is the sleeper he expects to double before gold, as nuclear and industrial demand ramps under Trump's energy push.

Pocket Messiah 3/8

Wil welcomes guest Ken Stemke, owner of Main Street Social in Libertyville, IL, an upscale Italian-American restaurant with its own wine label. Ken traces his hospitality spark to bussing tables in high school, then a 35-year career in banking that armed him with the financial discipline many restaurants lack. He shares how a seasoned team, empowerment, and a recent, internally driven menu refresh (60+ dishes tested) improved culture and guest experience. The convo dives into COVID cash-flow planning, POS frustrations, the importance of listening to staff and guests, policy headwinds like tip-credit changes, rising costs/tariffs, tech overreach, and why independent restaurants—and local coalitions—are essential to community life. Key Takeaways Banking → hospitality advantage: Ken's finance/accounting background gave him crucial cash-flow and planning skills most operators need but often lack. Seasoned staff pays off: With servers averaging ~40 in age and long tenures, May Street Social avoids much of the turnover drama. Empowerment drives innovation: Shifting decision-making to loyal team members led to a broad menu refresh without outside consultants. Manufacturing mindset: Treat each dish like a mini job—know costs, margins, and process control just as in production. Plan for storms: During COVID, Ken worked off daily cash-flows and prebuilt “Plan A/B/C” responses to policy changes. Policy ripple effects: Eliminating the tip credit (e.g., in Chicago) raises labor costs significantly and can hurt independents more than chains. Tariffs & uncertainty pinch demand: Cost shocks (produce, glass, wine) and scary headlines can temporarily depress traffic. Right-sized tech: Restaurants should resist feature bloat; deploy only tools that simplify ops (Ken is doubling down on using Schedulefly fully). POS matters: Weak reporting and lack of integrations create friction; handhelds and better data can smooth service pacing. Community is the moat: Independent restaurants anchor local identity; forming downtown/indie coalitions amplifies marketing and advocacy.

Why We Keep Showing Up TogetherEvery month, Jen and I hop on a call to trade notes, swap links, and compare what's resonating. It's become a favorite ritual because it lets us zoom out and make sense of a very fast month—what we published, what we learned, and where our communities are headed next. We're aligned on mission and complementary in approach: we both want to help people use money for good—while being as rigorous about real-world impact as we are about financials. That's why we keep encouraging readers to subscribe to both publications; you see more of the picture that way.This month, our conversation kept circling around a handful of pieces that sparked big reactions across our communities:* Superpowers for Good: SuperCrowd25: A Movement on the Rise* Superpowers for Good: Power Up October* Main Street Journal: Scamming Social Change* Main Street Journal: Plant DePIN Stations for Fun and Profit* Main Street Journal: Housing Cooperatives & the Better AbundanceWe also name-checked two thinkers whose work regularly sharpens the discussion: Michael Shuman and Paul Spinrad.Authenticity, Impact, and What Changes When You Meet the FounderA thread we returned to repeatedly is the gap between pitch-deck promises and the reality you can feel when you look a founder in the eye—even if it's through a webcam. Jen pointed to how hearing a human, unscripted explanation can dispel both confusion and “impact-washing” skepticism. I see that dynamic every quarter in our Live Pitch sessions: judges arrive with carefully formed opinions and then, after Q&A with founders, their scores often shift—sometimes dramatically. That post-conversation “re-rating” speaks to the power of authentic engagement for investors and founders alike.Michael Shuman's “Scamming Social Change” gave us a crisp lens for that authenticity test. His basic argument: be wary of grand claims about fixing systemic problems with thin mechanisms. He challenged the marketing logic of some “impact” narratives that simply don't add up when you trace how the benefits would actually reach people. For impact investors, the takeaway is simple: scrutinize the causal chain, not just the press release.Three Housing Ideas Worth Stealing (and Scaling)Housing kept bubbling up as a cross-community priority—because you can't talk about poverty, health, or mobility without talking about where people live.* Small, Local, ManyMichael's “Better Abundance” essay argues that big problems don't always demand singular, big solutions; sometimes “many small things in many places” perform better, especially when they're rooted in community context. Jen loved that framing—and it tracks with what we see across Main Street finance and impact crowdfunding: local teams solving local problems, with models that travel.* Co-ops Change the Market, Not Just the Tenant's RentJen highlighted Burlington's Champlain Housing Trust—managing roughly 3,000 affordable homes—as an example of how cooperative models can reset price expectations across a region by forcing the broader market to compete with a fairer baseline. She also flagged a Swiss city where a notable share of residents lives in nonprofit housing—and pointed to eye-poppingly low homelessness figures. The point isn't that co-ops alone “solve” homelessness; it's that a portfolio of modest, durable interventions can shift the whole system.* ADUs as a Practical On-RampCloser to home, Jen's local planning commission in Keene ran an ADU Challenge: homeowners volunteered real sites and constraints; architects and students designed tailored, buildable options; and a $5,000 prize helped surface practical patterns. Policy may permit ADUs on paper, but many would-be “home creators” still need a nudge through the how-to. That kind of lightweight, civic R&D is a smart way to turn latent permission into actual housing.We also touched on work from SuperCrowd25 showcasing rehab-first approaches and manufactured housing as naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH)—permanent, dignified units that are too often conflated with RVs. In markets where down payments are out of reach, adding safe, lower-cost rentals is an immediate win—and investors can help expand that supply now, not “someday.”A Curious Frontier: Plant DePINOn the more experimental end, Paul Spinrad's “Plant DePIN Stations for Fun and Profit” lit up our curiosity. I'm intrigued by the blend of community incentive design, real-world infrastructure, and open participation. We didn't try to answer every technical or tokenomic question in our chat; we simply acknowledged an emerging space where Main Street builders might find new tools—if (and only if) the impact logic pencils out. As always: first prove the benefit, then scale the mechanism.Movement Notes: SuperCrowd25 & Building the On-RampsIf you missed it, SuperCrowd25 felt like a turning point—less a one-off event and more a widening lane for founders and investors who want returns and results. Our “Movement on the Rise” piece captured why: the people doing the work are getting better at telling the story, and the people funding the work are getting better at asking the right questions. When those two curves meet—clearer storytelling and sharper diligence—capital flows to what actually helps. That's the movement.And because better on-ramps matter, we'll keep making space where founders can show up as themselves and investors can interrogate the “how,” not just the “what.” The more we normalize that practice—the short, human conversation where a founder's logic is audible—the fewer “scamming social change” narratives will slip through undetected.A Candid Ask: Power Up OctoberI also shared something personal with Jen: after 13 years of building this community—rebranding as Superpowers for Good four years ago and launching SuperCrowd two years back—we're close to covering our costs, but not quite there. That's the reason behind our Power Up October campaign. Much of our work remains free by design; paying members make that possible and receive meaningful perks in return (with even more for Max-Impact members). If you've found value in the shows, posts, or pitch sessions, this month is a great time to upgrade or sponsor.Jen shared how the Main Street Journal sustains itself—often through NC3 partnerships and tax-deductible support—and she pledged to help amplify our effort. That kind of mutual aid between aligned media shops is how indie ecosystems survive.Two Subscriptions, One MissionIf you read one of us, you'll get good work. If you read both, you'll get a fuller map—and, frankly, it's still an affordable bundle for a year of actionable ideas. However you support us—subscribe, upgrade, sponsor, or simply share a favorite piece—thank you. We'll keep earning it by elevating founders who solve real problems and by asking the impact questions that make everyone better.—DevinP.S.

Spooky Season Fun Without the $ Fright This week, we cross over into the month of October and that means Halloween-Time is in full swing at the Disney Parks.

Alan Scott to pull back the curtain to ask him what the job is really like, what drives his passion for the parks, and we get an honest answer to the ultimate question: does having to press 'record' change the way you experience the magic?
