I interviewed Singing Chen about The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up on Monday, September 1, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up: "After the sudden death of his wife, Guan discovers her unfinished novel — a tale intertwining the endangered clouded leopard and the Rukai tribe's sacred origin myth, which tells of their descent from the elusive animal. Grief-stricken and seeking connection, he sets out on a surreal journey into dreamlike scenes — a maze of the subconscious, mistshrouded forests, ancient tree hollows and symbolic inner landscapes. Adapted from a short story by acclaimed Taiwanese author Wu Ming-Yi, The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up is a single-user, free-roaming VR experience that blends literature and memory into an intimate exploration of love, loss and self-reflection." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Exploration of indigenous myths [9] as the protagonist goes on an epic journey into these imaginal (or real) realms [9]. It's a husband whose's wife [7] has died [8], and he's picking up clues from her work [10] as a writer as he explore her office [10], gets lost within a maze [12], and then he embarks on this adventure [9] deep into nature and the forest [4] Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Blends a number of different spatial capture techniques from traditional CGI modeling to Gaussian Splats. Very high resolution spatial capture. Lots of theme park type of feel whilst exporing the maze portion, and recreated a spatial journey where you feld like you had some wandering agency. But it was all still very contained and constrained, but felt like a bit of using your body movemnt to edit and pace through the piece. You're mostly an invisible ghost without any embodiment, although there are some scenes where you have agency to move around, but there's other scenes where you're more of an invisible audience. Some incredible technical breakthroughs to fuse it all together.2nd Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Very narrative and story-driven overall, with a lot of influences from the cinematic tradition, especially during the first half. There's some cinematic cut scenes inspired from film. Some spatial embodied movement of spatial storytelling, The last half involves more of theatrically staged dialogue, where the overall spatial context stays static, and so the experience of time is more like being at a thearical play. Having volumetrically captured actors actually makes a huge difference in communicating the subtleness of emotionality via their facial expressions that is much harder than how emotions are captured on film. This piece stands in the volumetric capture techniques, fused with traditional CGI as well as with Gaussian Splats.3rd Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Based upon a book, and so it has quite a literary feel, but also some scenes with extended dialogue. Overall, it's a bit of a mystery as the husband investigates the research archives of his wife, who was digging into an indigenous myth, and he comes to find out that it is completely TRUE. So there's lots of elements of magical realism, but also poetic dreamlogic and spatial storytelling. The maze scene has some post-it notes that deliver voice over. It's a single-player experience, but you share spatial contexts with some volumetrically-captured performances.4th Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: No real narrative agency, but there's a chance to explore a room of objects, but also the maze scene gives the experience of a lot of agency as you can chose how you move through and at what pace. Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Grief from a death and loss, and going on a spiritual adventure, to find connection. From the description about the book author that inspired the piece, they say, "he weaves dreams, memory and multiple dimensions of time and space has long inspired me." Turning inward to explore spatial contexts that symbolically represent an inner journey of discovery. "Grief-stricken and seeking connection, he sets out on a surreal journey into dreamlike scenes — a maze of the subconscious, mist-shrouded forests, ancient tree hollows and symbolic inner landscapes" Artist Statement: "Wu Ming-Yi is one of Taiwan's most influential contemporary novelists. The way he weaves dreams, memory and multiple dimensions of time and space has long inspired me. When the chance came to adapt The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up into VR, I knew it would be a daunting yet necessary journey. Wu's writing evokes vivid imagery, spatiality and bodily presence — qualities that resonate with VR's immersive nature. Through free-roaming exploration, I aimed to recreate a journey of loss, memory and Indigenous mythology. This project is a dialogue between literature, technology and emotion — one that seeks to spark empathy across cultures." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEUki2mN-ps This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

What if the most important thing you'll ever know about yourself has never actually been said out loud? Not because you're hiding it. Because somewhere along the way you built a fortress around it, and the fortress has no windows. Today's guest understands that fortress from the inside. At 19 years old, a week after his birthday, Aaron Bethune stood 200 meters from the summit of Aconcagua, one of the world's Seven Summits. He turned back. Not because he could not make it. Because he realized he had never once visualized the descent. On the way back down, alone, he found an Everest veteran named Mike lying in the snow, lost and frostbitten, meters from a three- thousand-meter drop. Aaron gave him his food and water and carried him down. He has never seen Mike since. He has been looking for him for twenty-six years.  Aaron Bethune is the founder of We Write Stories, author of Musicpreneur (now used as a university textbook), and a musician since age four who has worked with Showtime, Spotify, MTV, and the Grammys. He led a project for the Gwich'in First Nations to help protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In this conversation, Aaron and Dov unpack why the most capable leaders spend their entire careers focused on the ascent, and have no strategy for the descent when it inevitably comes. They examine Aaron's philosophy of doneness, why it is not spiritual bypassing, and how leaders who have hit every mark of success often plateau because they cannot access the multidimensional range that got them there in the first place. The conversation closes on the survival story most people have never excavated and why naming it may change the trajectory of a life.    Topics include:    Why standing in a stadium of strangers dissolves loneliness Why Patagonia stays true to one thing  Why AI can only look at the past  The spruce tree branch that went through Aaron's leg at a monastery.  Jumping into the cold water as far as you can throw yourself  Panic attacks and the path to understanding how the mind works  The fortress with no windows.

Water meters register the volume passing through them, but what happens when that volume contains both water and entrained air? Anthony Giudice, president of AquaFlow, explains how turbulent flow can influence meter readings and how AquaFlow's calibrated valve is designed to help meters reflect what he describes as true water consumption.    Why Flow Conditions Matter at the Meter  Anthony connects entrained air to the pressure required to move municipal water and the turbulence created as water travels through piping, changes direction, and encounters shifting demand. Because a conventional meter cannot distinguish between water and air within that volume, he says the resulting air-water mixture can contribute to overreading.  The valve addresses the condition from the customer's side of the property. Installed immediately after the meter, it creates a slight backpressure intended to establish laminar flow upstream while compressing the entrained air rather than removing it from the system.    Calibration, Placement, and System Conditions  Each valve is calibrated for its specific meter and operating environment. Anthony explains why valves cannot simply be exchanged between meters of the same size and describes a dual-spring design that responds to changing pressure throughout the day.  Available sizes range from three-quarter inch to 32 inches, supporting applications from residential service to power plants, data centers, manufacturing facilities, and cooling tower systems. Trace and Anthony also examine an important secondary-metering question: where should a valve be installed when cooling tower makeup and bleed meters affect water and sewer billing credits?  The answer depends on the measurement objective. Teams must first identify which meter they want to optimize and how any downstream reading affects utility calculations or sewer credits.    Measuring Results Beyond the Utility Bill  A lower invoice alone does not prove that a valve is performing. Facility activity may change substantially from one billing period to another.  Anthony recommends a measurement and verification reconciliation using 12 clean pre-installation months, the installation month, and at least three clean post-installation months. Consumption should then be normalized against an operating unit such as cars washed, hotel guests, or stadium attendance.  A car wash example demonstrates the distinction. Recorded consumption changed from 16.03 gallons per car before installation to 13.13 gallons per car afterward. That per-unit comparison provided a clearer performance indicator than the total bill, which could rise or fall with the number of vehicles served.  Careful meter selection, operating data, and normalized analysis help water professionals evaluate this technology without confusing reduced recorded consumption with changes in production or occupancy.  Listen to the full conversation above.

Robert Vallis, President, CEO, and Director of Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR) (OTCQB: TGRGF) (FSE: D150), joins me for an exploration update on the assay results returned for three drillholes from its Ceibal target at its Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia's prolific Mid-Cauca gold belt.   We review how results like this at Ceibal will be expanding the known 2 million ounces of gold resources, in all categories, already delineated from the Miraflores and Tesorito deposit areas. Additionally we discuss the blue-sky upside in a number of other regional targets across their district-scale land package.   Drilling at Ceibal has outlined a northwest to north-northwest trending mineralized corridor with an apparent strike length of at least 300 metres and an apparent width of approximately 375 metres. Mineralization has been traced to approximately 800 metres vertically below surface and remains open at depth. The geometry, true thickness, extent, and continuity of mineralization have not been defined at this early stage of exploration, and the corridor remains open to the northwest, southeast, and southwest.   Highlights: CEDDH-011 intersected 685.35 m @ 0.6 g/t Au from surface and ended in mineralization including 7 m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 7 m downhole including 8 m @ 1.1 g/t Au from 42 m downhole including 12 m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 66 m downhole including 20 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 86 m downhole including 16 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 438 m downhole including 6 m @ 1.8 g/t Au from 660 m downhole CEDDH-012 intersected 568.4 m @ 0.6 g/t Au from 309.5 m downhole, extending mineralization to approximately 800 m below surface including 5 m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 485 m downhole including 16.75 m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 784 m downhole including 12 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 845 m downhole including 12 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 864 m downhole CEDDH-013 intersected 536 m @ 0.4 g/t Au from surface including 6 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 6 m downhole including 6 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 90 m downhole including 10 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 102 m downhole including 6 m @ 1.1 g/t Au from 118m downhole   Drillholes CEDDH-014 and CEDDH-016 were collared approximately 165 metres and 220 metres northwest of CEDDH-013, along the interpreted apparent trend of the corridor, and were designed to test the northwesterly extent of the mineralized corridor beyond the area drilled to date. Drillhole CEDDH-015 was collared approximately 210 metres southeast of CEDDH-003 and was designed to test the southeasterly extent of the apparent mineralized corridor. Assays for all three holes are pending and will be reported in a subsequent news release.      Robert then highlights its broader 20,000-metre drill program with three diamond drill rigs, including one rig doing infill drilling at Tesorito and two rigs at Ceibal will support the continued definition and expansion of the project into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate in Q1 of 2027, which will then update the 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) with enhanced economics.   Wrapping up we touch up the even further bluesky exploration potential at depth under Tesorito and Ceibal, and the near-surface drill targets their team has been refining at the nearby Chuscal gold-copper target, and the untested corridor along the faults up into the Northeastern regional targets. There is also the 500,000 ounces of historic gold resources at Dos Quebradas to the Northwest.       If you have any follow up questions for Robert regarding Tiger Gold then please email those to me at  Shad@kereport.com.     Click here to follow the latest news at Tiger Gold Corp     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

What does it take to dive more than 70 meters beneath the surface on a single breath?In this episode, we sit down with Salma Shaker, one of Saudi Arabia's leading freedivers, whose journey has taken her from the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea to the world's most prestigious freediving competitions. Salma shares the mindset required to push the limits of human performance, explaining why freediving is far more about mental strength than physical ability. She opens up about overcoming fear, dealing with grief, building discipline, and the life lessons she's learned from spending countless hours beneath the surface. We also explore the remarkable underwater world of the Red Sea, the future of freediving in Saudi Arabia, shark misconceptions, marine conservation, and Salma's work with Red Sea Global and Coralium to help protect one of the planet's most extraordinary marine ecosystems. 0:00 Intro2:46 What a 70-Meter Dive Really Feels Like4:57 Growing Up on the Red Sea7:08 How Salma Discovered Freediving9:11 Friendship, Rivalry & Miriam's Influence10:48 Why Freediving Became an Obsession12:25 The Journey from 20 to 70 Meters17:07 Training, Breathwork & Mental Preparation21:51 Managing Fear and Anxiety Underwater24:44 How the Ocean Changed Her Life27:35 Knowing Your Limits: Awareness & Self-Control32:42 The Incident That Changed Everything38:44 Grief, Family & Finding Perspective43:05 The Future of Freediving in Saudi Arabia47:27 What Makes the Red Sea So Special56:38 Red Sea Global, Coralium & Marine Conservation1:04:44 IWC Minutes1:07:21 Shark Encounters & Ocean Myths1:15:56 The Hardest Part: Going Down or Coming Back Up?1:22:55 Control, Patience, Courage & Knowing Your Limits1:24:37 Final Reflections

Mike Stephen gets an update on the secrecy around a plan to buy back the city's parking meters from Block Club Chicago's Mick Dumke and learns about a new series of live local performances that explore the history of the Untied States from co-producers Cheryl Corley and Lucy Smith.

Alderpeople learned last Thursday that Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration secretly offered about $3.3 billion last fall to reclaim control of the city's parking meters — a whopping $800 million more than the next-highest bidder. In a statement afterward, a spokesperson for the mayor said when Johnson decided to drop the city's bid in January, he highlighted the high cost of regaining control of the meters.

Alex Langer, President and CEO of Sierra Madre Gold And Silver (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), joins me to recap the Q1 operations and financial update at their La Guitarra silver-gold mine complex in Mexico, which includes 3 producing mines:  La Guitarra, Coloso, and Nazareno.   We look ahead to the 2-phase mill expansion and upcoming increased 30,000 meters of drilling planned across the La Guitarra property.  Additionally, we discussed the closing of the transaction for the Del Toro mining complex this week,  and the increased drill program to 30,000 - 50,000 meters of drilling at the property starting in the second half of this year.   Highlights Revenues: Gross silver revenues for the quarter totalled $5.9 million ($85.14 per ounce) and gold revenues totalled $5.1 million ($4,906 per ounce). Silver revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1 2025") totalled $2.3 million ($31.13 per ounce) and gold revenues totalled $2.9 million ($2,828 per ounce). Sales: In Q1 2026, the Company sold 69,006 ounces of silver ("Ag") and 1,038 ounces of gold ("Au") or 128,827 silver equivalent ("AgEq") ounces, based on the ratio of silver and gold prices realized for each shipment in the quarter. This compares to 75,137 ounces of Ag and 1,022 ounces of Au or 165,093 AgEq ounces sold in Q1 2025. Cash Costs for the quarter were $42.55 per AgEq ounce produced, as compared to $33.63 per AgEq ounce produced in Q4 2025 and $22.51 in Q1 2025 due to a number of factors including the ramp up of operations at Coloso and Nazareno and inflationary pressures on our input costs, as detailed below. Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million for Q1 2026 compares to $1.1 million for Q1 2025. Cash from Operations: the Company generated $3.5 million of cash from operating activities in Q1 2026 as compared to $729 thousand in Q1 2025. Gross Profit was $3.61 million for Q1 2026, as compared to $1.36 million for Q1 2025. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2026 totalled $13.2 million and working capital totalled $14.4 million. Cost Drivers: Ramp-up and development activities at Coloso and Nazareno drove a significant share of the current production from off-book, out-of-resource, lower-grade material, which weighed on unit mining costs. Gold and silver recovery declines stemmed from feed blend optimization across the three mines, further pressuring costs.  Coloso and Nazareno: Mining restarted at the higher-grade Coloso underground mine at the end of Q1 2025 (estimated resource grades at Coloso are significantly higher in both silver and gold compared to the Guitarra mine veins). In September 2025, Sierra Madre also announced the restart of mining at the Nazareno mine. The Company is focused on ramping up operations at Coloso and Nazareno ahead of the increased plant throughput levels anticipated upon completion of Phase I of the Guitarra expansion. Phase I and II production targets: In late April, Sierra Madre selected a special services contractor to provide equipment and manpower to accelerate mine development at Coloso and Nazareno. The contractor began mobilization to site in early May. Once the contractor is in place, the Company will be able to transfer its miners and equipment to the Guitarra mine to accelerate production. Expansion Progress: For the two-phase expansion of the La Guitarra plant, Sierra Madre has acquired key equipment— including a second crusher (tested and installed) and a 600-700 tpd ball mill, now refurbished and under contract for installation, with commissioning expected in late Q2 2026. Construction crews for the ball mill foundation work have been mobilized to site and the purchase of critical equipment has begun. Once the first stage of the expansion is completed, the planned second phase would increase processing capacity to a range of 1,200 tpd to 1,500 tpd by Q3 2027; essentially doubling production capacity once again.   Beyond the production growth, we also focus on the substantial exploration programs planned for the 2nd half of this year both district-scale land packages.   There are 30,000 meters of drilling planned at the La Guitarra complex; and Alex points out that having their own assay lab should allow the company to quickly react to incoming assays at La Guitarra, going from 20 holes, to 40 holes, and then eventually 80 holes. Now that the acquisition of the Del Toro Silver Mine complex in the Chalchihuites District in Mexico from First Majestic Silver Corp. has closed, there is a 50,000 meter drill program on tap. The goal of this program will be testing a number of high-priority targets and growing existing resources to extend the mine life for when a restart decision is made on these 3 mines and the 3,000 tpd plant.   If you have any questions for Alex regarding Sierra Madre Gold and Silver, then please email them to me at either Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Sierra Madre Gold and Silver and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Sierra Madre Gold & Silver     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF), joins me for an exploration update on some of the recent news releases with the most up-to-date drill results at the Elora-Jubilee and Big Master and trends at the Gold Rock Camp, and touching up on the Hyndman and Sherridon regional targets, across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.   We start off discussing how this year's exploration program is continuing to build up the high-grade drill results from last year's drill program, confirming the thesis around the 3 geological deformation faults and folds at the Elora-Jubilee and Big Master trends at the Gold Rock Camp.   Drilling at Jubilee tested between 150 to 200 meters with the goal of collecting structural data to improve in predicting high-grade gold mineralization at depth. Deeper down-plunge testing will begin this summer, and a second drill rig will be deployed to continue to fully define the high-grade footprint at Gold Rock. The 2026 drill program has now expanded to 45,000 meters.      *Jubilee Drill Highlights:   Hole DGR-054 returned 2.92 g/t gold over 14.50 meters including 6.79 g/t gold over 5.00 meters also including two high-grade intercepts of 28.80 g/t gold over 0.40 meters and 15.30 g/t gold over 0.60 meters (Figure 1, Table 1). Hole DGR-056 returned 2.48 g/t gold over 12.65 meters including 33.50 g/t gold over 0.50 meters. Confirmation of the multiple hanging wall and footwall mineralized stacked structures across Gold Rock, including Hole DGR-053 intercepting 0.73 g/t gold over 9.58 meters.   Two drill holes, on the Big Master Gold System at Gold Rock, tested the near-surface mineralization above (up-dip) from the recent Sparrow discovery. The third hole intersected Barrelman on BM1 and Treasure on BM2 expanding these zones at depth. The latest results validate the Company's exploration model and support an expanded 2026 drill program at Gold Rock. A second drill rig has been contracted and is scheduled for deployment on July 1.   *Big Master Drill Highlights:   Hole DGR-051 returned 3.24 g/t gold over 14.77 meters including 29.55 g/t gold over 1.35 meters at Sparrow 88.00 meters from surface. Hole DGR-052 returned 1.02 g/t gold over 13.50 meters including 8.88 g/t gold over 1.00 meter also at Sparrow 125.00 meters from surface. Hole DGR-057 expanded mineralization at both Treasure and Barrelman.     *Maura encouraged investors to further inspect these drill results within the context of 3D modeling tools over at Mining Hub: https://mininghub.com/3d/v/6dcjgqzm     We expanded the conversation to review the potential for similar look-alike types of deposits to exist along the multi-kilometer Gold Rock mineralized trend, in a “string-of-pearls” thesis, where the Mud Lake area will be the next target tested with drilling in 2026.   We touch upon the initial groundwork and drilling at the Hyndman regional area, with a lot of follow up work underway based on the exploration results released back on April 21st.   Maura reiterated the importance of the large soil sampling and channel sampling programs across their district-scale land package, and how it will inform follow up targeting, when used in concert with geophysical surveys.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dryden Gold   Click here to visit the “Link Tree” to different Dryden Gold media outlets     If you have any questions for Maura, Trey, or the team at Dryden Gold, then please email them into me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dryden Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Nigel and Tazziii head to the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in Tottenham for a special in-person episode recording! We're hitting the track for a deep dive into 100 Meters (the anime adaptation of Uoto's manga). This is an existential story that asks one central question: “Why do you run?” and then explores multiple answers through characters whose ambitions, anxieties, and identities collide in subtle ways.We unpack the character arcs, and why anime often does grey areas well in a way that lands differently from many Western narratives. It's a heavy story, and we debate how well it works as both an emotionally intense narrative and a thematic argument about purpose, pressure, and self-worth. We also discuss how well adaptations can work even if you have never read the source material.This week's storytelling tip is about four corner opposition from an internal and ideological viewpoint rather than a purely external conflict.Other stories we're enjoying include: Ranma 1/2 (Netflix), The Warrior Princess and the Barbarian King (Crunchyroll), The Light in the Mist (Puzzle Game), The Legend of Vox Machina (Amazon Prime), Gardens of the Moon (Novel), and Bob's Burgers (Disney+).Connect with mayamadamayamada is a manga brand and mission-driven creative agency all about equipping young and aspiring creatives to thrive on the creative journey - whether they're discovering what's possible, developing new skills, or sharing expertise with the next generation.Website: https://mayamada.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mayamadatvTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mayamadatvBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mayamada.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/mayamadatvTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/mayamadaJoin our Studio77 community on Discord to connect with other creatives and be part of the journey https://discord.gg/b5fmnuT

Quitting at the right time takes more discipline than pushing to the top. Elite high-altitude mountaineer David Göttler talks with Joe De Sena about turning around 100 meters from Everest without oxygen, using fear as data at 8,000 meters, and why getting down is mandatory. They break down decision rules, ego control, endurance, and training mental toughness before the crisis hits.   Hard standards matter. Disciplined decisions wins. Resilience must hold when energy and clarity drop.   Things You Will Learn: How to set hard turnaround rules and keep them. How to use fear as a signal, not a weakness. How to train in discomfort so performance holds under pressure. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Pre-Set Rules: Decide at sea level. Execute at 8,000 meters. Hard Turnaround Time: Summit is optional. Getting down is mandatory. Discomfort Training: Train tired. Train cold. Train when you don't feel like it. If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   David Göttler's relationship with the mountains began in fear—at age ten, he froze in panic during his first climb and didn't return for three years, before choosing persistence over comfort and committing his life to the mountains.   Now an elite high-altitude mountaineer known for climbing light and fast without supplemental oxygen, he has summited multiple 8,000-meter peaks and learned that survival at the edge depends on discipline, self-awareness, and the strength to turn back when ambition threatens good judgment.   Connect to David: Website: https://david-goettler.de/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david_goettler/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/David.Goettler.alpinist/?locale=es_LA  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@david_goettler    We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE!

In 2008, Chicago's budget was in a bad place. The city needed money. One way to raise money was to increase property taxes, but what politician wants to do that? So instead, Mayor Richard M. Daley's administration looked around at the resources the city had, and thought, ‘Any of this worth anything?' They opted to lease out the city's metered parking system — to privatize all 36,000 of its parking meters. The plan: have private companies bid on operating the meters, modernizing the system, and keeping the profits for a certain number of years. In exchange, they would give Chicago a big lump sum payment. The winning bid was $1.16 billion dollars for a 75-year lease. Today's episode is the story of how that bid got put together, and how it came to be hated. There are kidnapped parking meters, foot chases through City Hall, and trashbags filled with secret documents. Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. /  Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was produced by Willa Rubin with help from Luis Gallo and Sam Yellowhorse Kesler.
