Starbucks is closing another 250 stores across North America — and two of them are in Seattle, the company's own hometown. As the coffee giant boards up locations, independent cafés and bakeries are quietly filling the vacated storefronts. The free market giveth, and the free market taketh away. Meanwhile, those unionized Seattle stores Sean's been watching? Minimum wage can always go to zero.Sean breaks down the full scope of Starbucks' retreat: 627 stores shuttered across North America and Europe last year, now another wave hitting the Pacific Northwest. The company says it evaluates stores on "customer experience and long-term performance" — a polished way of saying the unit economics stopped working. Former employees at closing locations will get severance or transfers to other coffeehouses. Former customers will get a local bakery.This episode also covers the broader layoff wave hitting Washington state: Microsoft cutting 300 jobs from its Xbox and commercial divisions as AI rewrites the economics of tech staffing, and Expedia trimming headcount across its Bellevue operation.CHAPTERS0:00 Starbucks closes hundreds more stores…1:35 Microsoft Leads the Seattle Layoff Wave2:16 Xbox Gaming Nostalgia from a Dad3:27 Microsoft Cuts 300 Washington State Jobs4:49 Tech Sector Bloat Meets AI Automation5:40 Xbox Games Division Shrinks for AI6:56 Expedia Cuts 58 Washington State Jobs8:24 Microsoft and Xbox July Layoff Totals9:42 Starbucks Baristas and the Living Wage11:23 Starbucks Closing Stores in the…12:48 Unionized Starbucks Stores Face Shutdown14:59 Starbucks Moves Headquarters Out of…16:28 Fumbling a Coffee Order GoodbyeSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily conservative commentary on the Pacific Northwest stories Seattle media buries straight.#NFRP #Seattle #StarbucksGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Getting in shape is one thing. Staying in shape when life gets busy, stressful, or unpredictable is another. In this episode, Kirk breaks down the three essential steps for building and maintaining the physique and lifestyle you actually want. Whether you've made great progress before only to fall off track, you're currently stuck at a plateau, or you simply want a more consistent approach to your health, these three principles can help you stop relying on motivation and start building something that lasts. In this episode, Kirk covers: 1. Identity-led goals Before changing your diet, training, or daily habits, get clear on who you want to become. Your goals should reflect the identity you want to embody—not simply a number on the scales or a short-term physical target. 2. Minimum non-negotiable standards Your real habits are revealed when life gets difficult. Establish a baseline of behaviours you can maintain even during your busiest or most challenging periods, so one difficult week doesn't turn into months of lost progress. 3. Scheduled implementation Knowing what to do isn't the same as actually doing it. If your health and fitness goals matter, they need a place in your calendar. Look at how you're currently spending your time and ask: Does my schedule support the person I say I want to become? Beyond the physique Creating a great physique isn't just about how you look. It's about having the energy, confidence, discipline, and capacity to show up fully in the rest of your life. The goal isn't to repeatedly get back in shape. The goal is to build a life where staying in shape becomes part of who you are. If you're ready to transform your fitness while building a lifestyle that supports your personal and professional ambitions, learn more about Built To Last and how Kirk works with founders, CEOs, and high-performing individuals.

Une première victoire qui fait du bien, mais qui ne lève pas encore tous les doutes. Les Patriots s'imposent largement face aux Steelers (20-3), portés par une défense qui confirme son statut de moteur de l'équipe, entre un Gonzo impérial et des jeunes comme Gabe Jacas et Elijah Ponder qui continuent de se révéler. En attaque, c'est encore plus laborieux : Drake Maye peine à trouver son rythme, même si le retour de TreVeyon Henderson apporte une vraie dose d'explosivité. Et la soirée laisse aussi des traces avec une infirmerie qui commence sérieusement à se remplir, notamment avec la blessure d'Onwenu. On débriefe tout ça avant de se tourner vers Jacksonville, où les Patriots devront enfin passer la vitesse supérieure.

In this interview, URComped CEO, Craig Shacklett, sits down with VIP casino marketing consultant and founder of Plum Couch Hospitality, Travis Grode, to dig into the practical side of building and managing a high-performing player development program. Drawing from his experience helping scale a $1 billion relationship marketing program across more than 40 casino properties, Grode explains why casinos should look beyond simply asking how many hosts they need and instead focus on who should be hosted, where hosts can influence player behavior, and how to protect their time and attention. Topics Discussed: What being hosted should actually mean Who should receive a casino host Protecting host time and attention Minimum expectations for casino hosts Player lifecycle and where hosts add value Measuring incremental value in player development Host surveys and player feedback loops Determining host capacity by market Player coding and quarterly list cleansing Prospecting high potential players Goal setting and host incentive programs Scaling VIP service without standardizing relationships

In most of the world you do not get to choose who inherits your money. Across continental Europe, Latin America, and countries governed by Islamic law, a minimum share of your estate will be reserved for your children, your spouse, and in some places your surviving parents. Write a will that ignores them and the law overrules you. If you want a head start in life, choose your parents carefully.Switzerland changed the rules in January 2023. The compulsory share for children fell by one third and the share reserved for surviving parents disappeared altogether. In this week's VoxTalk, Marius Brülhart (University of Lausanne, CEPR) tells Tim Phillips how he had been following the reform with no way of observing its effects, until a website that helps Swiss people write their wills online offered him its anonymous data. People who were handed more freedom gave less to their children and their parents, and more to spouses and partners. About one third of every liberated franc went to recipients outside the family altogether. Liberalising the law spreads wealth without taxing anyone: politically, though maybe not democratically, attractive. The research behind this episode:Brulhart, Marius, and Laia Soler. 2026.

"Loosening inheritance law." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestMarius Brulhart is Professor of Economics at HEC Lausanne, University of Lausanne, and a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research. His research spans public finance, regional and urban economics, and international trade, with a long-running interest in how Swiss taxpayers and testators respond to the rules they are given. He has advised the World Bank, the OECD, the European Commission, and the Swiss government.Research cited in this episodeProtected heirs. Swiss law, like that of most civil-law countries, reserves compulsory minimum shares of an estate for close family. Before 2023 those categories were children and other direct descendants, spouses, and surviving parents. An unmarried testator with children could freely allocate only 25% of their estate; the rest belonged to the children by law.The 2023 reform. Parliament passed the change in December 2020 and it came into force on 1 January 2023. Minimum shares for direct descendants were cut by one third, those for surviving parents were abolished, and the share reserved for a surviving spouse was left alone. Averaged across family types in the data, the freely attributable portion of an estate rose by 19 percentage points, from 39% to 58%.DeinAdieu.ch. The Swiss online service that generated the data, funded by charities seeking legacies. Users answer questions about their family situation, the tool limits their choices to what the law allows, and they set the shares with a set of sliders. The sample covers 16,887 completed forms submitted between January 2020 and March 2024, which straddles the reform.Bunching. Before the reform, a large share of testators gave their protected heirs exactly the legal minimum and not a franc more; 52% of testators with children and 72% of those with living parents had been giving more than they wanted to. When the minimum fell, so did their allocations.Reference dependence. The whole distribution moved, not just the people who had been pinned to the legal floor. Testators who had voluntarily given their children more than the law required also gave less after the reform, which suggests the legal minimum works as a mental benchmark for generosity even when it is not binding.Marginal diffusion propensity. Brulhart and Soler's term for the share of each newly discretionary franc that goes to nonrelatives and charities. Their central estimate is 0.33. Applied to the whole population it implies that the reform moved more wealth outside family dynasties than Switzerland's inheritance taxes do, though Swiss inheritance tax is unusually light, with children inheriting tax free in most cantons.More VoxTalks Economics episodesWealth Taxes.

In October 2013, a young Dane named Thor Pedersen set off from his home with a single, slightly mad rule: he wanted to visit every country on earth — all of them — in one continuous journey, and to do it without ever once setting foot on an airplane. Container ships, trains, buses, and a great deal of waiting around. He thought it might take three or four years. It took almost ten. He crossed closed borders and war zones, ran out of money more than once, was stranded for two years by the global pandemic, and served the whole time as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Red Cross. In 2023 he became the first person in history to do it. In this episode, Jonathan Thomas talks to Thor about the whole extraordinary decade — and, this being the Anglotopia Podcast, spends a good while on Britain, which came remarkably early in the itinerary. Thor recounts crossing from Calais to Dover after meeting Syrian refugees at the port, being awestruck by Bristol's maritime heritage, a memorable host in Wales whose front garden contained a toilet lying on its side, a Red Cross officer in Belfast who felt like the James Bond of the Red Cross, falling for the Scottish countryside, buying dodgy Les Misérables tickets in London, a desperate dash for seasickness pills in Immingham, and Hogmanay in Inverness courtesy of a kind bartender. But the deeper story is the one Thor tells in an unusual way: he doesn't sell it as a triumph. He's honest about the loneliness, the setbacks, the cerebral malaria, the migraines, the moments at gunpoint, the two years stuck in Hong Kong — and about the thing that actually got him around the world, which turned out not to be toughness at all, but the kindness of strangers.

Thor's father sent him a link about the world's most-travelled people, and Thor — then 34, twelve years into a career in shipping and logistics, and having visited around 50 countries — discovered that roughly 200 people had reached every country, but nobody had done it entirely without flying. He describes it striking him "like lightning." 2 His definition of "every country" was deliberately generous. The UN recognizes 193 sovereign states plus two observer states (the Vatican and Palestine). Thor built on that, splitting the Danish kingdom into Denmark, the Faroes and Greenland, and splitting the UK into England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland — arriving at 203 — precisely so nobody could come back afterward and say "but what about Kosovo?" 3 Britain came very early — country numbers seven through ten, in late 2013, just weeks after leaving Denmark. He crossed Calais to Dover after meeting Syrian refugees camped by the rail tracks, was refused as a foot passenger, and got across by knocking on car windows until a driver calling himself Rambling Rat let him ride along. 4 Travelling only overland and by sea teaches you something you cannot learn from an airplane: how enormous the world actually is, and how gradually it changes. Thor points out that at borders, people wear the same clothes, eat the same food, often share a language — and the plants and animals don't care which side they're on. The real changes happen further inland. 5 He became a Red Cross Goodwill Ambassador early on, which transformed the project. Within weeks he realized it wasn't a country project but a people project. Meeting national Red Cross societies gave him rapid, genuine insight into each country — its economy, its government, whether it was a strong or weak society — and gave balance to a social media feed that otherwise risked being relentlessly, artificially upbeat. 6 Two years in, in Central Africa, everything collapsed at once: he lost financial backing, his long-distance relationship was falling apart, he was recovering from cerebral malaria, he was suffering debilitating migraines for the first time in his life, and his life was at risk more than once. It was the point at which he genuinely broke — and the point at which he first wanted to go home. He still had eight years left. 7 The pandemic stranded him in Hong Kong for two years. He'd arrived expecting a four-day transit stop. Immigration eventually told him he couldn't stay indefinitely as a visitor and offered three options: marry someone, study, or work. He ended up employed by the Danish Seamen's Church as "junior assistant to a reverend who wasn't there," shopping for seafarers trapped aboard their ships and unable to come ashore. 8 Hong Kong was both the worst and best chapter. CNN picked up his story, which went viral and transformed his profile. The Hong Kong Tourism Board nicknamed him "Hong Kong's only tourist." By the end he had two apartments, two cars, a driver's licence, a temporary ID card and a dentist. It remains the place in the world he misses most. 9 He felt no joy at all on reaching the final countries. Sri Lanka, then the Maldives on 23 May 2023 — everything had become "automated and mechanic," and he was working through interviews while everyone else scuba dived and drank martinis. The project was successful in the Maldives, but it was completed when he got home to Aarhus, 31 days later by container ship — 40 container ships in total across the decade. 10 Thor's strongest observation about travel is that most of the world is deeply ordinary. People go to work, go to school, spend time with family, follow their sports teams. He travelled through the Game of Thrones years and found everyone everywhere talking about it. He saw a boy in Libya spinning a Captain America shield fidget spinner. We are, he argues, far more connected than we think. ⠀ Soundbites 1 "I found out no one had accomplished it completely without flying. For most people that would be an uh-huh kind of moment, and then people would move on. But it struck me like lightning." — Thor on the email from his father that started everything. 2 "There's a common phrase where people say it's a small world. It really isn't. If it was a small world, I think I would have been back home a lot sooner." — Thor on what a decade overland teaches you. 3 "Around most border areas, people wear the same clothes. You get the same food on either side. The plants and the animals in the area do not care which side of the border they're on." — Thor on seeing where countries actually meet. 4 "Within weeks I realized that this wasn't a country project, that this was a people project." — Thor on the shift that changed everything. 5 "I was in Central Africa and I was deep in over my head. I lost financial backing. My long-distance relationship was falling apart. I was recovering from cerebral malaria. My life was at risk several times. And I just lost the motivation to continue." — Thor on the moment it broke him, two years in. 6 "If there was a competition within hospitality globally, like the Olympics, we would be on the bench watching the other countries. We are kind and helpful and friendly — but we have no idea how friendly we could be." — Thor comparing Northern European and global hospitality. 7 "I made an excuse that I was going to the bathroom, but really what I wanted to do was go and pay for all of us. And on my way there, they already knew what I was up to and shouted to the cashier — don't let him pay, we will take care of it." — Thor on his host Dafala in Sudan. 8 "So I was hired to be the junior assistant to a reverend who wasn't there." — Thor on how he solved his Hong Kong immigration problem. 9 "I arrived with my hat and my backpack, and when I was at my highest I had two apartments, I had two cars, I had access to the port, I had my driver's licence, I had a dentist. I had a life in Hong Kong." — Thor on two years stranded. 10 "The real story here is that most of the world is such an ordinary place. It is just people getting by in life, making the best of the situations that they have. Going to work, going to school, spending time with family, falling in love, following their sports teams." — Thor on what a decade on the road actually revealed. ⠀ Chapters 00:21 Introduction — One

Should your school purchase the smallest legal pole vault pit—or invest in a larger landing system?In this Gill1918 Project episode, Mike Cunningham explains why meeting NFHS or NCAA minimum requirements is only one part of the decision.

For FP&A, the most dangerous revenue number may be the one that looks credible enough not to question. A $100 million acquisition was just three weeks from closing. The target had been audited, the opinion had come back clean, and the deal looked compelling. Then Devon Coombs, CPA, spent a weekend digging through the contracts and came back with a very different conclusion: the revenue story did not match the contractual rights and cash flows underneath it. In this episode of FP&A Today, Devon explains why FP&A cannot automatically treat invoicing as revenue, how principal-versus-agent decisions can make the same transaction appear as either $100 or $3 of reported revenue, and why worsening cash flow can reveal problems that a strong top line hides. The conversation also looks ahead to AI and consumption-based pricing, where minimum commitments, usage, overages, invoicing cadence, and contract structure can make forecasting and revenue recognition substantially more complex. The bigger lesson for FP&A is simple: understanding revenue means understanding the contracts and economics behind the number, not just the number itself. Key Moments Revenue and cash flow need to tell a coherent story. Rising revenue and income should trigger questions when operating cash outflows continue to deteriorate. An invoice is not automatically revenue. Recognition depends on contractual rights, performance obligations, and when those obligations are actually satisfied. Gross versus net revenue can dramatically change the top line. The same $100 transaction could result in $100 or $3 of reported revenue depending on the company's role in the transaction. Good diligence starts before management explains the numbers. Devon describes looking at the financials first, forming an independent view, and then going directly to the underlying contracts. Contracts are an FP&A input, not only an accounting or legal document. Pricing, billing, and commercial terms can materially affect forecasts and the economics FP&A is trying to model. Standardization reduces revenue risk. Clearer offerings, pricing structures, contracts, and RevRec processes make it easier to scale without discovering problems during a transaction. AI and consumption pricing are changing the forecasting problem. Minimum commitments, overages, usage, breakage, and billing cadence can produce very different revenue patterns. Finance teams need a revenue architecture strategy. FP&A should understand how pricing, contracts, billing, revenue recognition, and forecasting fit together as one system.

The fastest way to make next spring feel brighter starts right now with a bag of bulbs and a spade. We walk through spring flowering bulbs from the ground up: what to buy in September, where they shine in borders, pots, lawns and under trees, and how to get a display that comes back year after year with almost no fuss. We cover the classics and the standouts: tulips for bold April colour themes (plus the types that actually return), daffodils and miniature narcissus for a long flowering run from winter into spring, and early heroes like crocus and snowdrops for that first lift when the garden still looks grey. We also talk pollinator-friendly choices, including native bluebells, and a few underused favourites like snakeshead fritillaria, anemones and muscari for naturalising and texture. If you want one crowd-pleaser, we explain why alliums are so hard to beat for impact and bees. You'll leave with practical, confidence-building rules: avoid waterlogged soil, build free drainage in containers, plant bulbs at roughly three times their depth, and always set the pointy end upwards. We also share two container strategies for small spaces: staging pots for a tidy, swap-in display, and lasagne planting for layered flowering over weeks. Plus, we preview our upcoming perennial grow along and how to sign up.

How many miles a week do you need to run to get better? It's the question coaches hear most, and the annoying answer is: enough to create an adaptation, not so much that you can't absorb it. The body doesn't experience a mileage total. A mile on a 14er and a mile on a track are completely different stresses, which is why time at effort is a better way to think about volume than distance.TJ and Zoë break volume into four levers. How much: the difference between the minimum effective dose, the optimal dose, and the maximum recoverable dose, and why most runners should be asking about the middle one. How often: what 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days a week actually get you, and why frequency is the most overlooked tool for newer runners. How long: why 15 + 5 is not a 20-mile long run, and why the cost of a run doesn't rise in a straight line. And where: easy/hard distribution, the weekend-warrior trap, and why back-to-back long runs are a tool rather than an organizing principle. It all starts from the same place — the week you can actually repeat, found in your TrainingPeaks history, not the week you're proudest of.First, TJ has an answer for what happened at Leadville. Then: a listener question about Nordic skiing all winter and protecting running fitness for a spring 50K, and Hot or Not on mocktails, aid station hydration mixes, and Tiger Balm.Questions for a future episode: microcosmcoaching@gmail.comCoaching and community: https://microcosm-coaching.com

I sat down with former congressional candidate Catherine Hildebrand for a conversation that went way beyond the campaign. Catherine ran for Congress in Washington's 1st Congressional District in 2026. She didn't advance out of the primary, but during our conversation she made one thing very clear: she plans to run again.We talked about what she learned from running for Congress for the first time, what she thinks is broken about our political system, and why she believes everyday people need a much bigger voice in government.One of the most personal parts of our conversation was healthcare.Catherine shared that she lives with stage-four endometriosis and had to fly from Washington state to Boston for surgery because she couldn't find an in-network specialist here. She told me it was actually cheaper to fly across the country, stay in a hotel while recovering, and fly home than it would have been to receive out-of-network care in her own state. That experience has deeply influenced the way she thinks about universal healthcare and access to medicine.We also got into some big topics:• Why she decided to run for Congress• What it was like running a campaign with almost no money• Going from registering as a Republican at 18 to eventually running as a Democrat• Why she says “lobbying is bribery”• Medicare for All and pharmaceutical patents• Minimum wage, universal basic income and wealth taxes• Billionaires, corporations and economic inequality• Term limits and congressional accountability• America's two-party political system• Democratic socialism• Environmental policy and economic growth• What she would do differently the next time she runsOne of the things I appreciate about long-form conversations is that we have time to get beyond talking points.You don't have to agree with Catherine.You don't have to agree with me.That's not the point of On The RecordI want you to hear people explain what they believe, why they believe it, and how they arrived there. Then you can make up your own mind. And Catherine definitely gave us plenty to talk about. Toward the end of our conversation, I asked her what comes next.Her answer was simple:She's running again.I'm Tony Taylor, and this is On The Record.Subscribe to the channel and let me know what you think about the conversation in the comments.#OnTheRecord #CatherineHildebrand #WA01 #WashingtonPolitics #Congress #TonyTaylor

In this episode, Roy sits down with award-winning actor, writer, and producer Niki J. Borger, creator and star of the upcoming sitcom NFTease. Niki traces her path from growing up in Germany with only 10% depth perception, to becoming a musical theatre performer, to transitioning into Hollywood film and eventually producing her own work — including a five-minute short film shot for $367 on two iPhones that went on to earn 20 festival selections, 7 nominations, and 4 awards. As a performer who's worked everything from musical theatre stages to documentary theatre in active conflict zones, Niki speaks candidly about the craft behind holding an audience, adapting to wildly different performance environments, and turning setbacks into her strongest material. They dig into NFTease itself: the premise of three insecure NFT-startup founders forced to partner with a group of "influencers" who turn out to be something else entirely, and the investor structure behind it. Niki also opens up about the realities of the acting industry — vanishing residuals, non-union commercial rates, and her strong stance on AI, consent, and protecting an artist's likeness — before closing with a full cast rundown for the show's eight core characters.
