What actually makes addiction treatment work?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tiffany Towers, Clinical Director at Seasons in Malibu, to go behind the scenes of what it takes to create and maintain a truly high-quality treatment program. We talk about how Seasons builds an incredibly varied team of clinicians, why different perspectives matter, and how they decide which therapeutic modalities are worth bringing into the program.We also get into some of the questions people often have about treatment but don't always get to ask: What role should Twelve Step play in recovery? Can the beach actually be therapeutic? What happens when someone relapses while they're in treatment? And what are clinicians seeing as new substances and patterns of use emerge?Dr. Towers also shares what she's seeing with the growing number of people coming into treatment for kratom detox, and how increasing regulations in California are changing the treatment landscape.This conversation isn't just for people considering rehab. It's for anyone interested in addiction, recovery, therapy, or becoming a better-informed participant in their own personal growth. The more we understand about how treatment decisions are made, the better equipped we are to ask questions, advocate for ourselves, and choose the approaches that actually make sense for us.Today's episode is brought to you by Seasons in Malibu. For over 18 years, Seasons has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health challenges. Our story began with a simple but profound vision: To create a luxurious sanctuary for individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues, where they can receive the finest, evidence-based treatment in the world.Built on Compassion, Driven by ExcellenceWhat started as a small number of compassionate professionals has grown into one of the nation's most respected luxury treatment centers. But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols. It demands a personalized approach, led by the most qualified professionals, in an environment that nurtures the whole person. That's why we've assembled a team where every primary therapist holds a Doctorate in Psychology - a distinction virtually unmatched in our field.

A wealthy Malibu doctor welcomed two strangers into his home, believing they were there to help him. Instead, they gained control of his finances, isolated him from his family, and watched through surveillance cameras as his condition deteriorated. By the time he was found dead, millions of dollars were missing—and the people he trusted most were at the center of it all.

Hour 3 (8.24) Malibu's ten new speed cameras start issuing warnings in late September and real citations in late November — 11 mph over is all it takes. Plus two street takeovers in two hours, and a robot that ran a 9.32 hundred. 8:05 — Sunday night, a crowd of about 100 gathered for a street takeover on Whittier Boulevard in Boyle Heights while burglars cut into Lorena Pharmacy with a saw and walked out with baskets of merchandise. Fifteen minutes later and less than two miles away, masked suspects walked two cash registers out of a Jack in the Box in East LA. No arrests. Also: Conway's case for fries as a taco heat-warmer, and the Conway Show sandal line Angel still refuses to greenlight. 8:20 — Halloween season is close enough to smell, and the LA Haunted Hayride is the ex-Clear Channel executive success story nobody talks about. Melissa Carbone walked into Shark Tank's fifth season in 2013 and walked out with the biggest investment in the show's history to that point — Mark Cuban, $2 million for 20 percent. Plus a Chinese humanoid called Lightning that ran 100 meters in 9.32 seconds. 8:35 — Ten automated cameras on Malibu's 21-mile stretch of PCH, using lidar to flag anyone doing at least 11 over. Warnings start in late September, citations in late November — civil penalties, no license points, no insurance hit. More than 60 people have been killed on that stretch since 2010. Sorry, Ashley Mackie. 8:50 — Conway responds to YouTuber Nick Shirley's videos claiming widespread fraud against California welfare and health programs — what he's actually shown, what the state says, and where the number came from.

What if the life you've been trying so hard to manifest isn't actually the life your soul wants for you?Kate welcomes soul advisor and manifestation teacher Leah Brathwaite back to The New Truth for a conversation about creating a life that feels as good as it looks.Together, they explore the difference between manifesting from fear, conditioning and control versus allowing your soul and intuition to lead. Leah shares how building the picture-perfect life ultimately left her disconnected from herself, and what changed when she stopped forcing outcomes and began trusting what felt true.They also unpack surrender, detachment and why embodying the feelings behind your desires may be more powerful than chasing the external result.This conversation is an invitation to release the script, trust yourself more deeply and leave room for life to surprise you.In This Episode We Explore:Manifesting from your survival self versus your soulWhy getting what you want may still leave you unfulfilledHow to recognize the way your intuition speaks to youThe connection between control, attachment and lackWhy the feelings beneath your desires matterBecoming an energetic match for what you wantLetting go of old identities as you expandAllowing life to unfold beyond what you plannedYour Practice for This Week:Notice where you're trying to force or control an outcome.Ask yourself what you believe having it will allow you to feel, then find one way to embody more of that feeling now.Pay attention to the quiet yeses, noes and nudges that follow. Choose one and trust yourself enough to act on it.About the Guest: Leah Brathwaite Cooper is a bestselling author, soul advisor, spiritual teacher, and the founder of the Free Soul Collective. Her work helps ambitious women reconnect with who they truly are, manifest what they deeply desire, and create lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.Blending spirituality, manifestation, identity work, and grounded self-leadership, Leah teaches a different approach to creating a beautiful life—one rooted in alignment rather than achievement, and in becoming more of who you already are rather than constantly trying to become someone better.She is the author of A New Way of Life: A Guide for Transformation From Living a Lie to Freeing Your Soul and host of the Live Free Lifestyle Podcast. Leah lives in Malibu, California with her husband and believes that true freedom begins when you stop living the life you think you should want and give yourself permission to create the one you actually do.LINKSInstagram: www.instagram.com/leah.brathwaiteFree Masterclass: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca/masterclassFree Soul Collective: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca/freesoulcollective40 Days of Devotion: https://www.thelivefreelifestyle.ca/40-days-of-devotion-the-heart-1Website: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/About the Host:Kate Harlow is the founder of The Unscriptd Woman, the creator of The Expanded Love Coaching Method, and host of The New Truth podcast - ranked in the top 1.5% globally.

What does it really mean to live a meaningful life? In episode 128 of Talk with Schevig, I sit down with American actor, author and speaker Rodger Halston for a deeply personal conversation about Hollywood, ambition, grief, human connection — and the moments that can change the course of a life. Rodger grew up on a ranch in Oregon with dreams of becoming an actor. When an opportunity took him to Los Angeles, he was willing to sacrifice almost everything to pursue it — even spending five months homeless, sleeping in a two-man tent. Eventually, that journey took him from the tent to Hollywood productions and a home overlooking the ocean in Malibu. But behind the glamour, Rodger discovered an industry that could be both exhilarating and brutally unforgiving. We talk about the shallow and transactional side of Hollywood, rejection, ambition, and why achieving success doesn’t necessarily teach you what really matters. But this conversation goes much deeper than Hollywood. Rodger shares the devastating story of losing his father after they had stopped speaking — and the extraordinary event that happened exactly one year later, when his daughter Avalon was born on the same date and within the same 15-minute window as his father’s fatal accident. We also talk about grief and why trying to suppress emotional pain rarely makes it disappear. Rodger tells stories about strangers who became friends, encounters that changed his perspective, and an 86-year-old woman he met at Niagara Falls who left him with one unforgettable question: “What are you waiting for?” At the heart of Rodger’s philosophy is a simple idea: Spread love and watch the magic happen. In a world where we increasingly stare at our phones instead of at each other, perhaps some of the most important moments in our lives are waiting in conversations we haven’t had yet. We talk about: Chasing the Hollywood dream• Sleeping homeless in Los Angeles• The brutal reality behind the entertainment industry• Why rejection doesn’t necessarily mean failure• Playing Jesus — and how the role changed Rodger’s life• Losing his father with words left unsaid• His daughter’s extraordinary birth one year later• Suppressed grief and emotional healing• Post-traumatic growth• Loneliness and our increasingly disconnected society• The stranger in Harlem who became one of his closest friends• The 86-year-old woman who taught him to stop waiting• Love, forgiveness and human connection• Why we need to put down our phones and start noticing each other• And why it may never be too late to pursue the life you really want This is a conversation about success — but perhaps even more about being alive.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Miesha Tate spent her whole life chasing a UFC world title, and when she won it, it broke her. Miesha is a former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, one of the fighters who cracked women's MMA open at the highest level, and someone who has now spent almost as much time deconstructing what that pursuit cost her as she did chasing it. We sat down in Malibu and got into the parts of the story you don't usually hear. The moment she realised the gold belt didn't solve a single one of her problems. The years of eating disorders, distilled water weight cuts, and amenorrhea she was privately navigating while headlining pay-per-views. The pregnancy loss earlier this year that forced her to look at what her fighting career had done to her hormones. And the coach whose death became the reason she started her podcast. Miesha is direct about what she got wrong: the war she waged with her own body, the intuition she overrode because she'd signed on the dotted line, and the mental health cost of being the "strong woman" everyone pointed to. She's also honest about what actually helped her rebuild, from cognitive behavioural therapy to prayer to learning, for the first time in her life, how to be present. If you've ever confused discipline with self-punishment, this one will resonate. You'll learn: [0:00] Introduction [9:53] 99% of a cage fight happens inside your own head before the walk out [15:20] How winning the belt became the biggest breaking point of Miesha's life [24:15] The eating disorder, the weight cuts, and drinking distilled water for 72 hours [40:09] Women need 100 to 300 more calories in the luteal phase, and no diet accounts for it [52:36] The pregnancy loss she believes was tied to years of under-fueling her body [1:04:19] How prayer, reconnection, and a cognitive behavioral therapist pulled her out of the darkness [1:14:40] The balloon exercise that taught her presence for the first time in her life [1:25:57] Why Miesha believes public school was designed to divide the nuclear family Resources Mentioned: ROAR (Women Are Not Small Men) by Stacy T.

Born in 1950, raised on the west side of LA, Craig R. Stecyk III is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans film, fine art, commercial design, writing, and photography. He's widely known for the "Dogtown Chronicles," which featured in Skateboarder magazine in the 1970s. In fact, Stecyk co-founded Zephyr, which spawned the hugely influential Z-Boys. During that time, in addition to documenting the scene through his writing and photography, he applied his singular graphic design sensibility to create the Rat Bones and the Dogtown Cross. Later, he co-wrote the award-winning 2001 documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys with Stacy Peralta, which further chronicled the Dog Town scene and its characters. Since the 1970s Stecyk's written many pieces about surfing, most notably "The Curse of the Chumash," which appeared in Surfer in 1976. Focused on Malibu, it blended local history, surf-skate mythology, and a heap of counterculture irony. His art installations include Road Rash, in which he scraped up roadkill, bronzed it, and returned it to the exact spot where he'd found it. In 1989 he made Papa Moana, featuring Hawaiian objects and artifacts. He helped curate Surf Culture: The Art History of Surfing, a 2002 exhibition at the Laguna Art Museum. He's written essays for several surf-related books, among them 1936-1942: San Onofre to Point Dume. A surfboard shaped and painted by Stecyk resides in the permanent archive of the Smithsonian. As filmmaker and artist Thomas Campbell puts it, "Craig's our patron saint of outsiderness, of being creative without bounds. His influence is so omnipresent you don't even see it." In this episode of Soundings, Stecyk sits down with host Jamie Brisick to talk about growing up in coastal Los Angeles, the Dogtown era, the strange artifacts that find their way into an artist's life, the challenge of making something that withstands time, and getting checked out of school by Miki Dora to go surf.

Devin: What is your superpower?Gene: I've always felt that range is more important than depth. That's where I am.Azure Printed Homes is turning recycled plastic into faster, lower-cost housing while attacking two crises at once: housing scarcity and plastic waste. Gene Eidelman, President of Azure Printed Homes, joined me to explain how the company uses robotics and 3D printing to manufacture housing in a factory.“Azure is a platform that uses robotics and 3D printing to manufacture housing,” Gene said. “30% less expensive, 70% faster, and no waste.”That simple description understates the breadth of the impact. Azure began with backyard studios and ADUs during COVID. The company has since expanded into homes for people experiencing homelessness, affordable housing, wildfire rebuilds and soon, Gene says, multi-story apartment buildings.What I find so compelling is the way Azure's model layers benefits. The company reduces construction waste, reuses plastic that might otherwise end up in landfills or oceans and creates housing more quickly in places where people desperately need it. Gene confirmed that the company has already recycled “millions upon millions” of plastic bottles' worth of material.The work is no longer theoretical. Gene told me the company has delivered more than 150 homes across six states. Its largest project so far is a 62-unit village for people experiencing homelessness in San Luis Obispo, California. By using ground screws rather than traditional foundations, Azure fit nearly twice as many units on the site as conventional construction would have allowed.“We took a very small site, 3/4 of an acre site, and put a lot of units,” Gene said. “If it would be done traditional construction, they couldn't take more than 34 units, but we did 62.”Azure's market is broad. The same platform can support a small safe home for someone leaving homelessness, an ADU in a California backyard or a luxury rebuild in Malibu. “It's really a platform to expand what can be done quicker and less expensive,” Gene said.I'm also excited that Azure is using regulated investment crowdfunding to fuel its growth. Gene explained that the company has completed six campaigns across several platforms, building a community of more than 2,500 investors in 48 states and 20 countries. Azure is currently raising debt capital through a Honeycomb campaign, which you can find at geneeidelmanmedia.com.For impact investors who care about housing, climate and innovation, Azure's progress offers a powerful case study in how purpose-built businesses can scale solutions that matter.tl;dr:This episode explores Azure Printed Homes' mission to turn recycled plastic into faster, lower-cost housing.Gene explains how robotics and 3D printing reduce waste while expanding housing options across markets.Azure has delivered more than 150 homes, including a 62-unit homeless village in California.The company is raising growth capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding debt campaign on Honeycomb.Gene's superpower, range, helps him pivot quickly while staying focused on solving big problems.How to Develop Range As a SuperpowerGene's superpower is range. He told me, “You can acquire deep knowledge. You can hire for deep knowledge. It's the range that is necessary.” For Gene, range means staying focused on the solution while remaining open to the tools, materials, customers and business models that can get you there faster. He said entrepreneurs should “focus on the solution” while also thinking about “how other products that they might be thinking of could be used for this solution.” That perspective helped Azure move from construction to 3D printing, material science, robotics, light-gauge steel and homes on wheels.Gene saw this superpower earlier in his career while building childcare centers. A nearby hospital loved the centers but explained that its nurses could not afford them. Gene quickly reframed the problem. If the hospital funded a center on campus, there would be no rent burden and nurses could access care. That pivot created a corporate childcare business that grew to become the third largest in its niche in the country before being sold to a publicly traded company.Focus on the solution first, not the initial product or business model.Build range by continuously educating yourself across disciplines, markets and technologies.Use new tools yourself before asking your team to adopt them.Hire experts when deep technical knowledge is required.Bring team members with you to meetings so they can observe, learn and generate ideas.Listen actively to customers, partners and industry veterans before prescribing answers.Stay open to unexpected markets when customers reveal new uses for your solution.By following Gene's example and advice, you can make range a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileGene Eidelman (he/him):President, Azure Printed HomesAbout Azure Printed Homes: Azure Printed Homes transforms recycled plastic into 3D-printed houses—built 70% faster and at 39% lower cost than traditional construction—tackling both the housing shortage and the global plastic waste crisis.Website: azureprintedhomes.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/azureprintedhomesOther URL: geneeidelmanmedia.comBiographical Information: Gene Eidelman is the co-founder of Azure Printed Homes, founded in 2022 to create sustainable, affordable housing using recycled polymers.

Today I bring on Pax Prentiss the co-founder and CEO of Passages Malibu. He comes on today to have a honest talk about addiction: what it is, how it starts and how to find help. He built a program around what causes someone toseek alcohol or substances, rather than just managing addiction. Thisinnovative treatment philosophy led him to pioneer one of the mostrecognized treatment models in the country. He is co-author of The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure, and has helped more than 40,000 people get sober.***************Pax's Links:Website: https://passagesmalibu.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paxprentiss/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passagesmalibuTiktok: @RehabCenter Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCF0WwIyommbeEPGo3FyDlxg Find Us:Instagram:@jacquelinebrubaker@loveyouevenmorepodcastTikTok:@thejacquelinebrubaker@loveyouevenmorepodcastWebsite:https://loveyouevenmore.com/https://www.jackiebrubaker.com/https://passagesmalibu.comIf you enjoy romantic coming-of-age stories filled with heart, ambition, and the highs and lows of chasing a music career, That Girl is the perfect beach read.

The Root Cause of Addiction & the Path to Your Authentic Self | Pax PrentissWhat if addiction isn't the problem itself—but a symptom of something deeper?On this episode of The Healthy CEO, Jason Wright sits down with Pax Prentiss, co-founder and CEO of Passages Malibu and co-author of The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure.Pax's story is extraordinary. After struggling with heroin, cocaine, and alcohol addiction for nearly a decade, repeated attempts at traditional treatment failed to produce lasting sobriety. Eventually, Pax and his father began asking a different question:Why was he using in the first place?That question changed everything.Rather than focusing exclusively on managing addiction, Pax began addressing the underlying issues driving his substance use. That experience eventually became the foundation for Passages Malibu and its individualized, holistic approach to treatment.Jason and Pax explore addiction, recovery, mental health, family dynamics, physical wellness, and the growing normalization of substances in American culture. But the conversation ultimately becomes something even bigger: How do we stop escaping from our lives and become the healthiest, most authentic versions of ourselves?In This EpisodeJason and Pax discuss:Pax's personal journey from heroin addiction to more than two decades of sobrietyThe question his father asked that changed his recovery: "Why do you think you're using?"Why Pax believes addiction can be a symptom of deeper underlying conditionsDepression, anxiety, trauma, stress, insecurity, low self-esteem, and other factors that can contribute to substance useWhy treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—is central to the Passages philosophyHow individualized therapy differs from traditional group-based treatmentWhy escaping uncomfortable emotions can prevent real healingThe importance of confronting problems rather than continually numbing themMarijuana, today's higher-potency products, and Pax's concerns about normalization of recreational drug useKetamine therapy and the addiction cases Pax says he is increasingly encounteringPsychedelic-assisted approaches to trauma and why Pax personally favors clear-headed, individualized therapyHow families can recognize when helping has crossed the line into enablingWhen families should consider working with a professional interventionistWhy recovery doesn't end when someone leaves a treatment centerThe importance of aftercare and creating a healthy home environmentWhy family members may need to change their own relationship with alcohol when someone returns from treatmentThe example parents set for their children around drinking, marijuana, and other substancesWhy Jason and Pax both believe an alcohol-free lifestyle can be transformativeSleep, nutrition, exercise, mental clarity, and their role in rebuilding a healthy lifeIdentity-based habits and becoming the person you actually want to beWhy recovery isn't about creating a new person—it's about rediscovering the person underneath the addictionThe Bigger Idea: Becoming Your Authentic SelfOne of the most powerful themes of the conversation is that recovery isn't simply about removing drugs or alcohol.It's about rebuilding a life.Pax describes a whole-person approach that addresses psychological, physical, relational, and spiritual health. The objective isn't simply sobriety. It's helping someone rediscover who they are without the substance—and begin moving toward the healthiest version of that person.Jason connects this philosophy to his own pursuit of health and personal development: the idea that genuine wellness can't be one-dimensional.Physical health matters.Mental clarity matters.Relationships matter.Purpose matters.Spiritual health matters.And the environments and habits we build around ourselves matter.Ultimately, the goal is not perfection.It's continuing to move toward your authentic self.About Pax PrentissPax Prentiss is the co-founder and CEO of Passages Malibu. His own experience with addiction and recovery inspired the creation of an individualized treatment model focused on identifying and addressing underlying conditions associated with substance use.Passages opened in 2001 and uses a multidisciplinary approach involving medical, clinical, therapeutic, physical, and spiritual components of recovery.Pax is also the co-author of The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure and says Passages has helped more than 40,000 people pursue sobriety and recovery.Need Help?Pax personally continues to speak with individuals and families seeking treatment and takes admission calls for Passages.Passages Admissions: 310-589-2880Passages operates locations in Malibu and Ventura, California. Pax explains in the episode that the Ventura location works in-network with many insurance plans, while insurance may also contribute toward treatment at the Malibu location.If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, seek qualified professional help. Treatment decisions should be made with appropriate medical and mental-health professionals.Authentic HealthRecovery and long-term wellness involve more than removing unhealthy behaviors. Nutrition, sleep, movement, and providing the body with the nutrients it needs are all part of creating an environment where better health is possible.Learn more about the Authentic Health Foundational Stack at shopauthentichealth.com.Use promo code JASON for 10% off your order.The Healthy CEO explores the intersection of health, performance, longevity, leadership, and living well.If this conversation helped you—or made you think of someone who needs to hear it—share this episode with them.And don't forget to subscribe to The Healthy CEO and leave a five-star rating.

Week two of the Isolation series. Luke and Chris go back to the movie that made them friends. Drive isn't an action movie. It's a fairy tale set in Los Angeles about a man who built walls around himself so carefully that the one time he lets someone in, it destroys everything. Refn doesn't have a driver's license. Gosling restored the Malibu himself. Carey Mulligan summarized making the film as "staring longingly at Ryan Gosling for hours." Albert Brooks shaved his eyebrows to play a killer. And a woman sued the studio because the trailer made her think it was Fast & Furious. Two hosts. One movie. The one that started it all.Live at 8:15pm CT.

Sunil Kalwani is part of the clinical team at Seasons Malibu. As a craniosacral therapist, his work isn't about fixing people. It's about listening to what the body already knows.Craniosacral therapy works with the subtle rhythms of your nervous system. Sunil believes your body holds everything: every tension, every pattern, every unspoken story. He doesn't see symptoms as problems. He sees them as communication.In this episode we talk about what craniosacral therapy actually is, how the nervous system remembers what the mind forgets, and why the goal was never to solve you.

But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols.

Natalie Eva Marie went from college soccer player to WWE superstar to a trap apartment in Sherman Oaks. This episode is her real story, not the highlight reel.She talks about her childhood, the partying that spiraled into multiple DUIs, and the months she spent in jail because of it. Cocaine took over next, and it nearly took everything with it. Her first shot at sobriety gave her three years clean. Then she decided she'd "graduated" AA and walked back out on purpose. That decision cost her three months, gone, holed up in a trap house before she landed at Dr. Drew's center in Pasadena.She got sober in name only. Then WWE called. She landed the audition, got cast on Total Divas, and married the man she thought was forever. From the outside, she had it all.Years into that marriage, she realized she wanted something completely different. An invitation to co-host the Hopeaholics and open her own treatment center brought her to Orange County, and that move became the beginning of the end of her marriage.Natalie gets honest about where she is right now: a woman at a turning point, leaning hard into the program to get through it. This isn't a comeback story wrapped in a bow. It's what actually staying sober looks like when life keeps changing underneath you.Today's episode is brought to you by Seasons in Malibu.

What do living in a truck near Malibu, selling multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills homes, cleaning an industrial egg-processing machine, backpacking across Europe, and investing in Omaha real estate have in common?They are all chapters in the unpredictable life of Alex Beltran.Alex joins Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner to share how growing up in California during the 2008 housing crash initially pushed him away from real estate. He eventually earned his license, moved toward Beverly Hills, and lived out of his truck so he could afford to pursue luxury real estate without burning through his savings.His journey did not stop there.Alex explains how working overnight at a high-end Beverly Hills hotel taught him the difference between simply renting a property and providing true hospitality. He also discusses purchasing rent-controlled California properties, recognizing the long-term financial problems, and deciding to sell before the numbers became worse.After stepping away, Alex traveled extensively, produced photography and video content for hotels, backpacked across Europe, and occasionally used Tinder to find a couch—or balcony—to sleep on. A midterm rental in Stockholm eventually inspired him to bring the furnished rental model back to Omaha.Today, Alex is involved in restaurants, midterm rentals, media production, endurance racing, and commercial real estate. He shares why he is now concentrating on commercial properties, working directly with businesses, and building investments that make sense without the emotion often involved in residential real estate.This episode covers taking risks, learning from failure, finding opportunity in unusual places, and designing a life around freedom rather than following a traditional path.Connect with Alex on Instagram at @alex_beltran_ and find his videos on YouTube by searching AlexBeltran.Please like, subscribe, share the episode, and check out the short-form and full-length videos produced by Alex for The Kash and Dash Show.You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at https://linktr.ee/tedkaasch Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owenmoneyrealestate Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/owenmoneyrealestate/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - ...

Adam Carolla joins Chris and Erik this week and gives the real state of the fire rebuilds: why the Palisades is slowly coming back while Malibu sits frozen behind the Coastal Commission, million-dollar septic upgrades, and foundations that need 300 concrete trucks before a single stud goes up. He also live-critiques an Instagram container house build, tells the legendary Man Show clam chowder story that ended a bachelor party at the Spearmint Rhino, and remembers the year Eminem bought everyone Taco Bell. Plus fake meat paranoia, why nobody cares about aliens anymore, billionaire bunkers, the Sam Altman whistleblower interview, and the carpenter mindset shift that explains why Adam will never retire.0:00 Intro2:38 Welcoming Adam Carolla4:34 Fire rebuilds: Palisades, Malibu & the Coastal Commission10:21 Venice, the Hoover Dam & how anything got built13:59 Adam critiques an Instagram container house build20:23 Food poisoning stories: the Man Show chowder & Taco Bell with Eminem30:10 Fast food rules & fake meat32:38 Why nobody cares about aliens anymore43:40 Billionaire bunkers & the Sam Altman interview54:25 Never retiring & the carpenter mindset1:00:46 Soccer vs. basketball1:06:10 Wrap-up & tour datesGet two extra episodes every month at https://Patreon.com/TheGoldenHourPodcastTo submit to the show email: thegoldenhoursubs@gmail.com or Dropbox Link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/fqtbexhxyaky9X8f8MV1In the subject line, specify whether your submission is King It or Sting It, Debate Club, Rip My Drip, Relationship Advice, or Flaunt My Aunt.

The hair choices in this 1996 film are mesmerizing, the wardrobe is out of this world, and the way this story wraps up wth a dramatic court scene meant that they'd be no better guest than a glamorous lawyer who takes on not-so-glamourous cases. Enter Molly's pal, Attoney Stara, a defense attorney living in the Dallas area who also shares her takes on various cases on TikTok and is a fixture in Molls' lives. From IMDb: Thanks to a roommate's practical joke, bookish college student Joanna Halbert finds herself signed up with a Malibu-based escort service. Her initial annoyance turns to curiosity when she visits the boss's beach house, and she is soon captivated by the seemingly glamorous lifestyle of working as a high-class escort. Before long, however, she realizes that glitz and money go hand in hand with exploitation and sleaze--and it may be too late to get out.

Listen without ads at 8$ a month or up on patreon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast SUMMARY This week on Dopey Greatest Hits, Dave officially declares July to be Allman Brothers Month and revisits one of his favorite interviews—with Duane Betts, guitarist, songwriter and son of the legendary Dickey Betts. Before the interview, Dave talks about his lifelong love of “Blue Sky,” reflects on a difficult Patreon Zoom and reminds himself of one of recovery's hardest lessons: restraint of pen and tongue. Papa Smurf contributes an incredible story about selling mushrooms in an Allman Brothers parking lot, getting grabbed by undercover cops and escaping after an oblivious hippie accidentally distracts them. A listener named Jeff also shares a disastrous Phish adventure involving craft beer, moonshine, cocaine, getting lost outside the venue while “Maze” played in the distance, wandering through a locked campground and receiving a possession charge that ultimately introduced him to AA. Then Dave sits down with Duane Betts for an intimate and wide-ranging conversation about growing up inside the Allman Brothers family, touring with his father, living at Cher's Malibu home, learning guitar on the road and finding his own musical identity. Duane opens up about Hodgkin lymphoma, discovering Dilaudid after surgery, the Malibu party scene, Molly, cocaine, crack, black tar heroin and a gram-a-day opiate habit. He recalls smoking heroin-and-cocaine speedballs, flipping a car after scoring drugs, waking up beside a friend who had overdosed and nearly dying after a massive cocaine hit. He also describes arrests, drug court, treatment, Suboxone, relapse, touring with Dawes and eventually finding lasting recovery. Now more than seven years sober, Duane talks about meeting his wife in Jackson Hole, staying grounded through music, hiking, yoga and connection, and continuing the Allman Brothers legacy through his solo work, Palmetto Motel and the Allman Betts Family Revival. It is a story about rock-and-roll history, inherited addiction, devastating loss, recovery and finding a life filled with music, gratitude and purpose. Allman Brothers month continues!

Eden Presti wears many hats. Case manager at Seasons Malibu. Brainspotting practitioner. PsyD doctoral student two years out from finishing. But before any of that, she was a young woman trying to figure out why her own brain wouldn't let her rest.In this episode, Eden takes us through her role at Seasons and what brainspotting actually does for trauma and anxiety. Then she gets personal. She walks us through her history with OCD, and it's not the version most people picture. Her symptoms built slowly, then all at once. She saw therapist after therapist. Nobody connected the dots. So she started researching on her own, piecing together a picture of her own mind that the professionals around her kept missing.Things got bad enough that she had to leave school. That's when she landed on her own diagnosis, before any doctor confirmed it. She also talks about leaving a relationship that wasn't serving her, and how untangling that was its own kind of clarity. Medication and therapy came next, but real management came from Eden learning her own patterns better than anyone else could.If you have ever been curious about OCD or wondered about it's larger role in addiction and/or mental health, this episode is for you.Today's episode is brought to you by Seasons in Malibu.

Okay, I have to say it: retail is broken, and I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way.I've had such a big bone to pick with retail lately, and every time I bring it up — here on the podcast, on my socials — you guys have so much to say too. So today I'm finally getting into it: the post-COVID luxury gatekeeping that's got us all waiting in line for something that's supposed to feel special, the final sale chaos that's basically taken over everything, and the whole Brandy Melville dressing room saga that broke the internet a few weeks ago. After I posted a rant about all of this on Instagram, I woke up to literally hundreds of DMs from you guys with your own horror stories and dream stories, and there was such a clear through line in what everyone said that I knew I had to bring it here properly. But I didn't want to just complain for 30 minutes, so the back half of this episode is my full LA shopping guide — every vintage store, denim spot, concept store, and standalone brand that's actually doing it right, plus exactly how I'd plan a full day of shopping in West Hollywood, Venice, or Malibu.In this episode, we get into:Why Liv thinks retail peaked too soon, from luxury's post-COVID gatekeeping (appointments, lines) to the final-sale "epidemic" hitting resale sites like The RealRealThe Brandy Melville dressing room controversy, and what it says about the shopping experience for an entire generationThe flood of DMs Liv got after her retail rant went viral, and the surprising through-line in what listeners said they miss most about shoppingLiv's case for why LA is having a real shopping renaissance, and why she calls it the denim capital of the worldHer definitive vintage guide, including Scout, RLT, Reformation Vintage, and The RealRealWhere to find the best vintage denim in LA, from With Love, Lenny to The Dig in VeniceHer favorite multi-brand and concept stores, including Mohawk General Store and the newly opened Earl IRL (owned by former editor Laurel Pantin)Standout standalone brand stores, from a surprise favorite at Rachel Comey to an appointment-only visit to Jacques Marie MageHow to plan a full day of shopping in West Hollywood, Abbot Kinney, or Malibu Country Mart, including where to eatLiv's advice for finding a genuine, personal shopping experience wherever you liveLet's Get DressedYouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpodNewsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv PerezInstagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperezLet's Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

This episode of Chasing Heroin features John Nettles, host of Recovery Refined and a team member at Refine Recovery in LA. Adopted at four days old and raised in St. Louis, John started using young. Weed at 13, blackout drinking by 15, and a benzo prescription at 16 that fueled an addiction lasting well over a decade. He got into the rave and EDM scene, became a DJ, and started a promotion company, all while his drug use kept escalating into cocaine, Xanax, and eventually a move to Chico, CA to grow weed and "start over," which didn't work.He cycled through multiple treatment stints starting at 24, including two trips to Sierra Tucson, each one followed by a relapse. A DUI, other legal trouble, and a series of increasingly dangerous blackouts (including one at his grandmother's house in Rhode Island) finally pushed him to call a sober coach who leveled with him bluntly: he'd never actually been sober, only abstinent. That call led him to Refine Recovery at 29, where, for the first time, treatment stuck. He talks candidly about getting a sponsor, doing the steps, and rebuilding his life from the ground up, plus how he stumbled into working in treatment and later launching his own podcast.He also opens up about finding his birth mother through an AncestryDNA test in his mid twenties, and the surprisingly close relationship they've built since, including meeting his half brother and starting a new family Thanksgiving tradition.Today's episode is brought to you by Seasons in Malibu.
