Our guest for Season 5, Episode 8 of the GAA Minor Moments podcast with Electric Ireland is former Limerick captain Declan Hannon, one of the defining figures of the county's most successful era.In this episode, Declan Hannon shares unparalleled insights into a career defined by unprecedented success, from his formative Minor years to leading Limerick to multiple All-Ireland Senior Hurling titles. He reflects candidly on life after inter-county hurling, discussing the bittersweet adjustments to retirement and the enduring bonds with teammates. He recounts the giddy excitement of his Minor years, his early coaches, and how Ardscoil Rís's Harty Cup victories forged his competitive edge, building invaluable camaraderie with future inter-county rivals.Hannon also pulls back the curtain on Limerick's golden era, revealing how a culture of unwavering honesty and respect drove an extraordinary hunger for victory. He highlights the role of one of Ireland's leading performance psychologists Caroline Currid, whose ability to simplify challenges and establish a deep trust with the players proved pivotal. Reflecting on his own quiet yet effective captaincy, he emphasises authenticity and support over bravado, and offers clear advice for today's Minor players: “sometimes less is more,” and he highlights the importance of learning to switch off to switch on, and how Minor years build success and instil values that stretch far beyond the pitch, shaping the lives of young players both professionally and personally.Every Tuesday, well-known Irish stars share memories from their early sporting careers and reflect on the defining moments from playing Minor and how that shaped them both on and off the pitch.For more information on the Electric Ireland Camogie Minor Championships, go to https://www.electricireland.ie/camogie-minor-championships.For more information on the Electric Ireland GAA Minor Championships, go to https://www.electricireland.ie/gaa-minor-championships.

An American Olympic canoeist just got arrested for allegedly vandalizing the historic Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool! Pat Gray breaks down the shocking details: David Hearn, a U.S. Olympian, is accused of jumping into the newly renovated reflecting pool and causing damage. President Trump is calling it out, exposing how vandals are destroying these national treasures. This isn't just random vandalism — it's another disturbing example of Trump derangement syndrome fueling attacks on American history, patriotism, and everything that makes this country great. While conservatives fight to protect our monuments and heritage, the radical Left continues its unhinged assault. But that's not all — this episode is loaded: Tulsi Gabbard drops bombshell facts on Dr. Fauci. Strait of Hormuz chaos update: open, close, open (the latest Middle East madness). Trump on Israel + his “I'm the boss” moment at the G7 meeting. "Toy Story 5" record-breaking box office domination.  Minor league team York Revolution refuses to wear gay Pride jerseys. Comment below RIGHT NOW: Is this Olympic athlete's alleged vandalism an outright attack on America? YES or NO? Should we be cracking down much harder on monument vandals? And who is really to blame for the destruction of our national symbols?

We all know the story of Judas- he betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. But why that amount- was there any significance to it? Well, it does show up in the book of Exodus as the price of a slave. But what is the connection between the price of a slave and the price for which Judas betrayed Jesus? The book of Zechariah is gonna tie those two things together, and you'll learn what that is as we study some Messianic Prophecy today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

Big losses rarely happen overnight. I've found that most major problems start as small mistakes that were ignored, tolerated, or left uncorrected for too long. Whether in business, health, or life, small execution failures compound over time until they become impossible to ignore. In this episode, I explain why catching problems early is one of the most important disciplines you can develop and how small misses today can become expensive consequences tomorrow. Show Notes: [04:31]#1 Minor deviations stack into structural gaps. [09:45]#2 Uncorrected mistakes reset the standard downward. [16:47]#3 Compounding failure accelerates without detection. [19:57] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard. If your results don't match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem.   They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.

If this week's Empire Podcast doesn't give you a Buzz, it might at least give you a... wonderful sense of warmth and well-being, as all-round acting legends Tom Hanks and Tim Allen chat to Chris Hewitt about returning as Woody and Buzz Lightyear for Toy Story 5, and their surprising plans to keep working together. [47:02 — 1:01:44 approx] Either side of that, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer to discuss the strange phenomenon of minor celebrities being asked to lend their voices to animated movies; movies that could have a sequel if you added an 'S' to their title, a la Aliens; look at the week's movie news, including a discussion of the final Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer; discover Helen's hatred for a major Hollywood star; and review Toy Story 5 and Virginia Woolf's Night & Day. To podfinity and beyond!

JD Vance just said the part out loud about America's interests and Israel's interests. Then baseball Pride Night somehow became a government-grade dumb bleep factory. On today's Good Morning Liberty, Nate and Chuck break down Trump's surprise Iran deal, Israel's reaction, JD Vance taking fire, the Strait of Hormuz problem, and why war hawks seem perfectly willing to gamble with your gas prices. Then it gets even dumber: MLB Pride Night caps, Bible verses, a canceled minor league baseball game, California's LGBT business certification program, RFK Jr. vitamin A panic, Jim Acosta's Kennedy Center meltdown, government car-crushing, and Al Gore claiming the climate crowd was "dead right."

In this episode Argus analysts examine how data centre growth for artificial intelligence is driving demand in some of the most exposed minor metal markets. Materials like germanium and indium phosphide are playing a key role in data transfer devices and optical connections within data centres, while gallium nitride power electrics are increasingly deployed to improve energy efficiency. But supply of these metals has been restricted by export controls and geo-political instability just as demand is beginning to boom. Topics discussed: The role of gallium nitride power electronics in AI data centre infrastructure and how the gallium market outside China could expand to meet demand. How germanium and indium phosphide are used in high-speed data transfer and optical connections within data centres and how these markets are affected by China's export control policies. The supply constraints faced by the tantalum industry at a time when tantalum demand from the capacitor industry, chip makers, and energy sector is growing rapidly.

Belagavi ex-armyman murder: A minor bike accident, fatal poisoning & Rs 2-cr insurance ‘plot'

When you think about it, box turtles have a pretty good life. Whenever they want to be left alone, they can close up into their shells. They always have an excuse for being late. (I mean after all, they're turtles.) And if someone is ever annoying them, they can just pee on ‘em. Box turtles have got it figured out.Unfortunately, God did not call us to be box turtles. God called us to be sheep. And sheep aren't to retreat into their shells and block out the world. Sheep are meant to thrive in a flock. And sheep are meant to follow the leading of their shepherd. And whether you're a sheep or a shepherd today, Zechariah 10 is going to help you to know your place.You'll find out what that is today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me?

NYU IHIF 2026 was full of insights and thought leadership from some of the best and brightest hospitality professionals in the industry.  In this episode of the Suite Spot, you will get to hear from some of the most influential and biggest names in hospitality in the exclusive interviews we were able to cover at the event.  NYU IHIF is the epicentre of hospitality brands, capital, and fast-paced dealmaking – opportunity moves fast, and so should you. This is where the rebound takes shape, where leaders uncover what's next, and where relationships turn into real transactions. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in, and we check out what’s trending in hotel marketing. I’m your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of the Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree and VP of Marketing here at Travel Media Group. Cassady Quintana: And I’m Cassady Quintana, Brand Ambassador here at TMG. Ryan Embree: And today we are fresh back from NYU IHIF 2026. My second time in attending this incredible event. Cassady, your first, what were your thoughts? Cassady Quintana: Yeah, I thought overall was a great event. A lot of optimism, especially as we’re heading into the summer season. So I thought, you know, the conversations that we heard on the panels and the ones that we were having with people were awesome, and a lot of you know, good things coming out of that. I feel like the biggest topics that I heard, there were three major takeaways I took from a lot of the panels and people we were talking to, but one being that K-shape economy that we’ve heard a lot about, right? We know that luxury is still outperforming while economy segments are feeling a little bit more of that pressure especially as we head into this summer season and looking at some of those trends. And then I think one of the biggest topics we have been talking about since the beginning of this year is the World Cup and how international travel we thought was gonna be booming. We were expecting a lot of busy hotels, but it’s kind of been on the softer side, and we’ve actually seen international travel dip a bit. So I think right now we’re kind of in that wait and see period of maybe you know people are waiting to see if their teams make it out of the group stages and then they’ll plan on booking a hotel. So keeping an eye on kind of that last minute travel. But the biggest topic that we were talking about a little bit last year, but the biggest one this year is AI and how hotels are using that within their systems. You know, there’s a lot of trends around using that for more personalization and being able to use it to look at your, you know, revenue optimization and how you’re performing online. So finding ways that we can use AI that doesn’t take the hospitality out of hospitality and doesn’t replace that human element. But that kind of went with that overarching theme of the entire event, which was sharpening the edge. So the thing I took from that is that the hotels that are really gonna win are the ones that are understanding their guests and using AI to further that, to further get to know their guests, to make that experience a little bit better. Ryan Embree: You know, and we had some incredible conversations and interviews with some professionals that we’re gonna share here in a second. But just to kind of jump on what Cassidy’s saying, we’re at a really cool inflection point in our industry right now as we go gear towards the busy travel season. So it’ll be interesting to see, you know, we had the opportunity to meet with development person from Minor hotels who’s looking to bring their brand into US and Canada, which will be very interesting. We know how they have a huge global footprint, a lot of interest early on in getting into the Americas. Uh, we then visited with AHLA and Kevin Carey and his team doing such wonderful work over there advocacy for our industry and some really cool initiatives that we were able to sit down with Kevin for a few minutes and chat about, uh, Jan Freitag from STR our hotel Data North Star and compass. They just released a revised forecast for the hospitality industry. So we went over some major points of that revised forecast and finally we got the opportunity to sit down with president and CEO Best Western Larry Cuculic. What a wonderful conversation about the best Western brand and how they are implementing, um, some of that AI and technology into their brand, and capitalizing on not only the World Cup, but also America 250. So wonderful insights that you’re only gonna find here on the sweet spot. Thank you for joining us. We hope you enjoy these exclusive interviews from NYU IHIF 2026. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Sweet Spot. We are live on location at NYU IHIF 2026 here with Genna, the VP of US and Canada Development for Minor Hotels. Genna, thank you so much for taking the time to stop and the busy big apple and talk with us today. Genna Panagopoulos: Thanks for having me. Ryan Embree: Excited about, this show. A lot of energy, a lot of buzz. You know, when you come to an NYU talking to ownerships, a lot of capital here, what are the conversation kind of stem around, and what does a successful NYU show look like as you head back to your home base? Sure. Genna Panagopoulos: Successful NYU would really be finding some deals, perpetuating some deals. So hopefully advancing some opportunities and it’s really all about for right now because we’re relatively new into the region. Educating our owners and the, the broader development community. So, you know, some of, some of the players do already know us, but in the luxury space, but there’s a lot of people we gotta get out in front of and introduce Minor hotels to. Ryan Embree: And this is a great place and, obviously a great city to do that in. What has been kind of the feedback? I mean, you’ve been tasked with this enormous job. We have such a great brand, worldwide, you’re bringing it here to us, Canada, and North America. What have been some of those initial conversations and hearing that and initial interest and feedback from owners? Genna Panagopoulos: Yeah, we’ve had a lot of feedback and interest on Anantara. So some of our, you know, established luxury brands that are pretty well known when you know the luxury hotel space in a global environment. Sure. So those owners have actually come to us saying, we’re really excited about the opportunities here. So that’s one piece. Of course we have NH Hotels, NH collection, and NH, which are very well known brands, especially in Mediterranean, Europe. Yeah. And, Central and South America. So there’s excitement around that too. Ryan Embree: Does it help, I mean, having such an international brand, we got the World Cup here, right? In a couple months. You kind of using that as maybe some momentum as you kind of come into, and introduce this brand into the Americas. Genna Panagopoulos: Absolutely. There’s a lot of, you know, I’m also educating Minor of the markets we wanna be in and so that’s definitely helping as well and putting some places on the map. Ryan Embree: And let’s talk about that because there’s been some announced projects already right here actually in New York. Talk about that project a little bit. Genna Panagopoulos: Yes. Thanks for asking too. We have a Worsely Hotel that’s opening, here next year. It’s gonna be super exciting because Worsely is a restaurant brand that we are taking into the hotel space. So it’s the first of its kind and nowhere better than to start in New York comes from London. So there’s a lot of correlation between the two markets. Ryan Embree: One of a kind hospitality venue and a one of a kind city, so. Exactly. But another project we’re really excited about just ’cause we’re home based, obviously in Orlando right down the road, a bright line away in Miami. Talk to us a little bit about that project and how that’s different. Yeah, Genna Panagopoulos: It’s a high rise building built in Miami. Hasn’t started construction yet, but it’ll open in 2030. It’ll be an Anantara hotel with branded residences, both private branded residences and, um, ones that will be able to be rented to hotel guests as well. Super wellness oriented. There’s gonna be a really extensive spa. Right. Very experiential. Wonderful for the residents that are gonna be buying, the residence. Ryan Embree: It’s incredible. It sounds like you guys are really taking care of all of the kind of popular travel trends right now. Right. FMB has really had this resurgence in hospitality with the project here. Wellness, obviously a huge piece of what hospitality is leaning into and what travelers are looking forward to. So having that flexibility between the brands too, I’m sure is a definitely a fun place to be when having these conversations with owners. But you talked about another project in Turks and Caicos. Genna Panagopoulos: Turks and Caicos. So we have an Anantara in Turks and Caicos that I believe will open in 2029. So in order we’ll have one in New York next year, and then 29 on Ontario trips and Caicos 2030, Miami. Ryan Embree: So no shortage of news on the Minor Hotel side. Congratulations to you and your team. Thank you. As you wrap up, I mean, what’s your vision? What’s your goal? As you bring Minor Hotels into the North American region? Genna Panagopoulos: Yeah. Well, if I think about next year at NYU, I hope people, more people are coming towards us. Excited about us being a different brand a different mindset. So we offer, we think of ourselves a little bit differently from the parent brands that are already established here because we have, you know, ownership still of most of our portfolio or we lease most of our portfolio. Um, so I hope there’s more inbound traffic coming towards my way. I hope people generally just walking down the street know us a little bit more. Certainly. You know, white Lotus helped us with Anantara, so there’s a lot of people who Oh, yes, are are diehard Anantara fans because of that. But that’s what I’m hoping for. And eventually we’d love to have an office here. So as long as we do our, our, our work, right, we, we get a strong pipeline, we’ll be able to have an office, a regional office in, in North America. Ryan Embree: Incredible. Well, super exciting. Can’t wait to catch up on all the exciting projects that you have at Minor Hotels. This is the first of a couple collaborations we’ll be doing with Minor hotels, so make sure you stay tuned. Congratulations again, Genna. And thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. Genna Panagopoulos: Thanks for having me. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. We are live on location, New York City at NYU IHIF. I’m here with Kevin Carey, President and CEO of the AHLA Foundation and COO of AHLA. Kevin, not your first time on the Suite Spot. Appreciate you taking some time and joining me here today. Kevin Carey: It’s lways a pleasure to spend time with you. Ryan Embree: Yeah, it’s fun.Incredible event so far. NYU obviously AHLA, AHLA Foundation Forward has a huge presence here. What does, you know, when you come to the event like this, we always talk in hospitality, these events are always going to exist no matter what. Technology comes down the pike because hospitality, we’re people, right. We like connecting. What is a successful NYU IHIF look like for you and your team? Kevin Carey: Well, It’s always an important period of time in the year at, as we approach midyear to check in with our members, to have that conversation about the advocacy issues we’re leading on behalf of the industry to hear how the business performance is tracking as well. And just to build enthusiasm and engagement for the events and the initiatives that we’re leading, not only in the association, but with the foundation as well. Ryan Embree: And none more important than the No Room for Trafficking initiative that you and your team have done some fabulous work on. I mean, we have all sorts of brands up on stage, sometimes with differing opinions here and there, but one cause that everyone in our industry has really gotten behind, and it’s the work of you and your team, is this No Room for Rrafficking? We always like to spread awareness of this. Talk to us a little about, about on that front and the progress you’re seeing and making. Kevin Carey: Well, this is a longstanding commitment that the industry has to human trafficking prevention and awareness. It started in 2019 with the development of the No Room For Trafficking Initiative and its focus on training and expanded in 2022 to include the Survivor Fund. So this is an area where AHLA and the foundation specifically serves as a convening entity to bring the industry together to rally around this important issue to work, to build awareness that’ll drive prevention of human trafficking, and also to gather funds to help support survivors. So this is a commitment not only on a longstanding basis, but also on a going forward basis as well. Ryan Embree: And such inspiring stories that you’ve told over the years. And people, you know, hoteliers and other people listening to this can really get behind and encourage people to kinda look at that initiative. Another kind of initiative that you’ve done in these events that, when we’re talking about these events is forward. We had a record breaking attendance a couple months ago in the spring. Talk to us about how that is. And you actually have some of those the forward initiatives here at NYU. Kevin Carey: We do within the foundation, our mission is to advance the workforce of the industry. And we do that through a focus not only on the current workforce, those over 2 million associates and colleagues who deliver hospitality day to day, but also how do we attract the future workforce to the industry. I talked about being a convening entity. The foundation brings together the industry across all segments. And there’s two areas where we believe we can make a difference. One is around human trafficking that we just spoke about, but also around the forward initiative which is geared towards, and its purposes to advance women in the hospitality industry and in leadership roles in the hospitality industry. So we were delighted to host our most recent forward conference in Atlanta, back in April. And the results were outstanding but really the momentum and the impact that that forward is having is really, which has us so enthusiastic and committed to this initiative moving forward. Ryan Embree: Yeah, that’s gotta be so cool to see industry leaders in hospitality raise their hands and want to be a part of this movement and really see the results from that. Kevin Carey: Well, it’s grown from just being a conference, that started in 2018 and had about 150 people at the first event to now over 1100 attendees. But as it as it has expanded from a conference to a leadership development curriculum. And you mentioned the forward exchange, which took place, here in New York earlier today, where it brought together over a hundred early and mid stage career and professionals of women and some men who are participating along with their peers to focus on networking and building those relationships so they can be well suited and take on roles, over time in the industry. Ryan Embree: Really cool to see. And again, probably some incredible stories coming from that over the years as the as the initiative matures. One thing that, that hospitality in general, really looking forward to, we got big summer, right? We’re usually really excited about summer is just ’cause of the travel season, kids being outta school. But this summer in particular, we’ve been looking forward to for a couple years. We got World Cup on the horizon, finally. We played just a couple miles from here and in America 250. What are you kind of hearing from hoteliers and how are AHLA really, gearing up for these big events, showcasing our industry? Kevin Carey: Well, these are really defining opportunities, for the industry to support those guests to welcome that demand, to drive the hospitality infrastructure over time. So there’s a lot of enthusiasm around the potential that that represents and as we’ve seen on stage already today the results in the first part of the year for the industry have been positive. a number of the outlooks are increasing the Revpar and ADR and other industry metrics, here with the these large events we are still waiting to see some of the demand materialize and we’re in a critical period of time right now, about 10 days out before the games to see that hopefully what’ll be a late surge in bookings, then translate into further business success for the industry. Ryan Embree: Yeah. Hopefully, and hopefully see that international travel continue to come back to North America, you know, a lot of hoteliers, hoping for that. Zooming in a little bit on a AHLA summertime, also time for interns, right. Come in and we’ve talked about this before. I mean, internships, mentorship in hospitality. So critical. I mean, throughout the years we’ve had these staffing shortages and we’ve talked about getting creative, our industry, getting creative on ways to fill those roles, internships being one of them. Talk about a little bit about the AHLA internship program and what these interns are are ready for this summer. Kevin Carey: Well, it’s not new. We’ve had a well established program from a number of years now. And, and we’re excited annually to bring a number of interns into our team across each function. we’ll have an interns in the government affairs team, in marketing, in the foundation. it’s so refreshing to engage them in our work to see their enthusiasm about their future to see them pick up valuable skills and experience of being in an office environment, learning more. And you know what? They, they have a real impact. They have some fun along the way as well and we have a wonderful session at the end where they get to present the results of some of the work in the initiatives that they’ve been working on. So it’s an annual opportunity that we look very forward to. And they’ll be starting just in about a week’s time. so it’ll be a great another repeatevent for us. Ryan Embree: Yeah. Love to see it. You know, again, any way that we can have more exposure to all sides of hospitality. Beause as we know, it’s not just, you know, the front desk. There’s so many elements to it and there’s none more demonstrated by how big our hospitality industry is than by the hospitality show that you put on. And this year is gonna be right in our backyard. In Miami, Florida. Get us a little bit excited about what we can expect at this year’s fourth annual. This is our fourth Hospitality Show, correct? Kevin Carey: So we started in Vegas, went to San Antonio, we’re in Denver last year. A lot of enthusiasm coming out of Denver for the content. And then what’s unique about the hospitality show is it’s really the only conference in the industry with a focus on operations and how operations is driving profitability. So there’s a terrific enthusiasm and people are looking forward to being in Miami, coming together in Q4, all segments of the industry represented. So we’ll have the brands we’ll have management companies, owners, service providers, suppliers, independent hotels also play an important role in the industry. So we’re about to open registration and that’ll really kickstart, the focus on November 2-4 in Miami. Ryan Embree: Well we’re looking forward to it. We’re hoping to go 4/4 on covering the hospitality show. Especially with it being right there in our backyard. Kevin, we know you’re busy. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today on some of these important initiatives. And hopefully we’ll see you in Miami in just a few months. Kevin Carey: Hopefully I have something else on. Ryan Embree: Alright. Appreciate it. Thanks. Kevin Carey: Thank you so much. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone. Ryan Embree. here live at NYU IHIF 2026 here with Jan the National Director of Hospitality Analytics at CoStar. Jan, you were just on a panel. Thanks for taking the time to jump off and speak with us. Jan Freitag: Absolutely. Ryan Embree: State of the state, love the name obviously you’re the north star of hospitality data out there. Jan, revised forecasts just came out. Talk to us a little bit about those points that you were sharing with the audience today. Jan Freitag: So we’re suggesting that RevPAR this year is gonna grow 2.8%, which is very different from the way we looked at the world at the ALIS Hotel Investment Conference. First quarter performance was much more stronger than we had expected than the public traded companies had expected the brands or the …. And a lot of them have revised their year end forecast up. So, you know, we followed suit. Now they, most of them just revised their forecast by the outperformance of Q1. But we’re suggesting No, no, there’s momentum. So we actually took our forecast up by a lot more to 2.8%, 2% driven by ADR and 0.8 by occupancy, which is really good to see. ’cause it implies that demand is outpacing supply. You know, so we get occupancy gains and then some pricing power. Ryan Embree: Love to see that. I mean we were here a year ago with Amanda who is talking about trying to decipher through the noise, a lot of noise right now. But great to see the momentum with those revisions and so important to have those revisions because the landscape can change ever so rapidly as you know. But talking about the supply, talk to us a little bit, go into a little bit more in depth and then obviously every market is different. What markets right now are running a little bit hot on supply? Jan Freitag: Yeah, so fational forecast for Supply goes to 0.4%, not a whole lot. Right. The long run average is 1.6, so we’re well below that. The number of rooms in construction used to be between, we know, 150,000 – 160,000. It’s now 140,000. So it’s sort of staying there. It’s just so expensive to get anything done. And interest rates are still high and could go higher. Who knows, we’re not making interest rate forecast. But you know, there’s definitely no longer this idea of how we should cut, you know, interest rates twice this year or so. I think those days are gone, you know, and so now the question is, okay, so where are people getting things done? And you can look at it by markets. So a couple of them are usual suspects. So Nashville, very strong, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Phoenix. So those are markets sort of in the smile states, sort of in the Sunbelt that still get a lot of people moving there. And you know, migration determines the economic performance. And so we’re seeing a lot more room supply growth there, but there’re just a lot of markets where it’s very, very hard to get anything done because of that higher cost of construction and of the higher interest rate. So I would single out those markets, but overall the picture is rather muted. On the supply side. So what that means then, for existing owners is the time to renovate is right now percent. Because you want to be the new kid on the block with the new hotel, there’s not a lot of new competition coming. This is time to renovate and really put your best foot forward. Ryan Embree: A hundred percent. And you know, one of the other topics we talked about, or you talked about rather on stage was segments right now luxury, doing very, very well leading the way. Obviously a lot of bifurcation, that K-shaped economy. What are you seeing across the segments right now? Jan Freitag: Yeah, I mean there are no wrong answers in luxury, right? I mean, luxury last year was the winner. This year is the winner. We’re projecting, very healthy RevPAR growth double of what we’re saying for the nation. We think the luxury class can materialize. And then what’s really nice to see is that for upscale upper midscale midscale, there’s also RevPAR growth there, which we hadn’t seen last year. And to me that speaks to the strength really of the American economy. But it sort of permeates toward all income classes. Now the exception is was and unfortunately will be likely the economy sector now even there we’re suggesting RevPAR’s growing, but it’s just, you know, 0.8% call that flat for all intent and purposes. Ryan Embree: International travel too, obviously World Cup on the heels of this. What are you see any interesting data points there you wanna share just right ahead of the America 250 and World Cup? Jan Freitag: There are two very different vibes coming from the panel that I was on. Adam Sacks prior to US presenting was talking about, oh wow, international inbound is really still quite a bit lower than it was in 2019. But the gentleman from the NTTO, the National Travel Tourism Organization was like, no, we’re projecting rock and roll, really strong growth of international inbound. The truth is probably gonna somewhere in the tween this year. World Cup is gonna drive a lot of international travelers. What I’m wondering about though is are some of those travelers basically stealing from 2025 and from 2027 and now they’re saying, oh, let’s not go in 25, let’s go in 26. And then when next year comes around, they’re like, we just went to the us you know, and not go in 27 either. So I just hope that the more positive spin from the government comes true and this and, and not that we’re just sort of packing everything into this year and then international inbound is gonna deteriorate. Ryan Embree: So many interesting data points. Anyone in particular you have your eyes on where, you know, obviously we love a nice rosy outlook and try to look for opportunities through all of the data that’s out there, but anyone’s that are like unexpected data points or something that you’re at least keeping an eye on right now? Jan Freitag: Yeah, so there are a couple, but the one that I’m really focused on is consumer price index. Everything is getting more expensive and so that means that hotels will see their cost increase. And the big question then is how much of that cost increase can they pass on to the customer? And I just told you that our ADR forecast for this year is 2% and inflation is gonna be what, 3.5 or something? I mean, it’s gonna be much more than that outpacing that. So that’s really the crux and I think that’s what we here at NYU, to talk to owners and investors and management companies have figure out, okay, so how can we keep our margins expanding even maybe how do you do that in this environment where top line growth may be not keeping pace with with inflation. So the CPI number is really something I’m keeping an eye on. Ryan Embree: Yeah, pretty challenging time right now. when it comes to margins and hospitality that we, again, trying to suss out and figure out here, what are those maybe opportunistic data points that you’re seeing that you’re saying this, this is really good, maybe unexpected on the other end of the spectrum? Jan Freitag: Yeah, I think the Americans are wealthier than they ever have been. And Adam Sachs has this fascinating data point where he shows at the emerge that the middle class in America is shrinking, but part of it is because a lot more people are rich. So people are moving up the income chain and that allows ’em then to spend more money on experiences, very clear that people favor experiences over goods. And we are right in that Suite Spot. Ryan Embree: That continues to be the experience over stuff. We love to see that. And then you’re kind of here celebrating an anniversary/birthday of your podcast, is it? You know you’re, you’re usually, typically used to be in the host, not so much the guests, so thank you. Tell us a little bit more and maybe where our hotel audience can find the insights that you provide. Jan Freitag: Yeah, and thank you for having me. So we have our own podcast. My colleague Isaac Collazo from STR and myself get together once a month. It’s called Tell Me More, A Hospitality Data podcast. And three years ago at juniors across the street over cheesecake, we sort of hatched the idea. And so now we’re, I don’t know, like, you know, almost 30 episodes into it. And we get together once a month and we just sort of riff on the data and hopefully you can join us. Ryan Embree: I love it. That’s awesome. Well, Jan, thank you so much. Very busy time. Appreciate you stopping by and talking to us. Jan Freitag: My pleasure. Thank you so much. Ryan Embree: Alright. Hello everyone. Ryan Embree here with the Suite Spot. We are live at NYU IHIF 2026 here with Larry Cuculic, President and CEO of BWH Hotels. Larry, thank you so much for taking time outta your busy schedule to join us here on the Suite Spot. Larry Cuculic: It’s my absolute pleasure. Thank you for the invitation and for allowing me to share some thoughts with regard to the success and BWH hotels. Ryan Embree: Yeah. We’ve got a lot to cover cause you’ve got a lot going on right now. But let’s start with this event, right? NYU IHIF, lot of major brands here what does a successful NYU look like for you and your team? Larry Cuculic: To us, a successful NYU is interacting with developers and investors such that they’re aware of what BWH has become. We’re now 18 brands, over 4,000 hotels in over a hundred countries and territories from premium economy up to luxury hotels. We acquired world hotels about six years ago. And so it really is continuing to educate about the possibilities of their associating with BWH hotels because we would be singularly focused on their success if they partner with us. And you’re also in a powerhouse panel tomorrow, the Executive Exchange Hospitality Performance Strategies for Success give our audience a little bit a sneak peek of what you’re gonna be talking about on stage. Larry Cuculic: Well, we’re gonna be talking about of course, the economy near term as well as long term projections for what that looks like. we’ll be talking about the importance of loyalty programs. We’ll be talking about the impact of really the economy and things like labor insurance and how we as brands need to focus on the success of our hotels by offering them programs to really offset that impact on net RevPAR. Ryan Embree: And I’m sure one of the subjects and topics that we brought up on your panel, certainly something we talk about these hospitality events is, AI and technology. And we had the privilege of having SVP and your CTO Bill Ryan on at the Hospitality Show a couple months in October, gave us a little bit of lay of the land when it came to AI and technology. How do you feel personally that this technology is really changing the way that travelers choose hotels, but also how they have their hotel experience, their guest experience? Larry Cuculic: Sure. So the first thing we’re doing is we’re reinvesting in our .com as well as our app. And we want them to be easy to use intuitive, but we also wanna make sure they have content that convinces guests when they’re shopping that our hotels will provide them kind of that customization and personalization. ’cause it’s not about a commodity, a hotel room, it’s about all those things that we can offer. By way of example we’re partnering with an AI agency to kind of harvest content with regard to where our hotels are located in those communities. At the same time, we’ll take that harvested content and we’ll filter it through our hoteliers who live in those communities and create the content that will be the AI answer when somebody’s looking for a place to stay. And they’ll know that we want them to have the best possible time while we’re in that community, not just staying with us as a hotel, that we recognize that people don’t want just to stay, they want really a journey. Ryan Embree: Yeah. Something that we aspire in hospitality to provide that not just a hotel stay, but an experience. And we talked to Joelle Park about the power of storytelling and how that can play a component in one of the best stories, obviously that you just had a really exciting announcement with is America 250 and the story of this great nation. So talk to us a little bit about that partnership and what BWH Hotels is doing with America 250. Larry Cuculic: Well, we are a sponsor of America 250, and we’re encouraging our hoteliers to embrace the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation. And part of that is not just USA 250, we also have the 100th anniversary of Route 66. We have hotels that have been with us, believe it or not, we have a hotel that’s been with us 75 years. And it speaks to the heritage of our brand. So we’ll be leaning into the history of this great country. At the same time we’ll be leaning into the history of our great brand and encouraging people to travel and see the United States and all that it has to offer no matter where you go. And the beauty of our hotels we have 2200 of them in North America and wherever they’re going to go, we want them to know that we have a hotel that will meet their travel leads such that they can experience really the 250th anniversary of USA. Ryan Embree: Yeah. It’s a really exciting partnership right in at an inflection point with the World Cup as well. So introducing maybe some international travel also to the brand and the nation. You know, you’re a great following on LinkedIn. I encourage our audience, if you haven’t, make sure you follow Larry, but one of the things you’re reflecting on your North American regional conferences that you’ve done up to this point in 2026 and you quoted to say that you want BWH hotels to become the most welcoming brand in the world. What does that mean to you and how is your team working to achieve that? Larry Cuculic: Well, welcoming means that we’re gracious hosts, but it also means that we’re, I’ll call it easy to do business with understanding, being flexible and recognizing that we are somebody you’d want to be partners with. Whenever anyone walks into a hotel we should tell them, you know, welcome, we’re glad you’re here by way of example. But I used to think of it that way in terms of being gracious host and everything that happens at the hotel, but when I think of welcoming, I also want to think about our new.com and app. Again, it’s that ease of use and personalization so that when you go there, we know it’s you and we want to help you make good decisions with regard to travel. So welcoming is about ease of.com, the app we’re redoing our loyalty program. I think Joel probably talked to you about that. And we want the loyalty program to be welcoming as well. Well, what does that mean? Well, that means that when you interact with us, you’ll know how many points you have. You’ll know they never expire. You’ll know that you can use them to buy down the price of a room at any point. That you don’t have to, to have as many points for a full stay to leverage those points. It’s a value of the program. And of course welcoming. I always lean into the importance of being not just a gracious host, but somebody that appreciates our guests. To me, that’s welcoming because you have to recognize that people, they’re traveling with their families, it’s something that you wanna leave a terrific impression on them and their family. And you also want them to know that we appreciate that they’ve spent their hard-earned money staying with us. To me, that’s being appreciative gracious hosts. And that’s part of the welcoming. It’s not, the welcoming doesn’t just happen when they enter. Welcoming has to be entire stay. Ryan Embree: So key. And the brands that kind of make that connection with their travelers, especially in a time where, I mean, we just talked about in this interview AI technology, there’s way more places become disconnected, to find that connection, that human to human connection. Very important right now. So as we wrap up the interview, obviously at these events we’re always, whether it’s the hospitality data we’re looking into, whether it’s a conversation, we’re always trying to take a glimpse into the future, trying to predict that future. Larry what do you see, what’s your vision for the future of BWH Hotels. Larry Cuculic: People will always wanna travel. And for us, if we can become that welcoming brand that appreciates our guests, we will build that loyalty. When we build that loyalty, that program will grow. Our revenue delivery brand direct will grow which is the lowest cost for us in terms of that reservation for our hoteliers but what I think I would also offer to you is we’re also very focused on thoughtful growth. And what that means is if you grow your loyalty program, you also wanna make sure you have hotels that are in locations where guests want to go. Be it London, be it Rome, be it Frankfurt, be it Bangkok, no matter where it is around the world. And so, you know, we have a, a focus goal of 5,000 hotels, which means we will grow thoughtfully, but with our guests in mind. And because when we have a hotel join us, our sole focus is the success of that hotel as well as having a quality hotel where guests want to go. Ryan Embree: That’s awesome. Well, we wish you nothing but success. Hopefully maybe can join the Suite Spot when that 5,000 hotel opens and we can celebrate that together. But in the meantime, thank you, Larry, for taking the time out of your day to join us here on the Suite spot. Larry Cuculic: Well, thank you. Thank you for the opportunity. Very much appreciate it.

In last week's episode, I explored the tragic death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and the events that unfolded during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas. This week, I'm following the case into the courtroom as we examine The State of Texas vs. Karmelo Anthony. During this episode, I'll walk through the key moments of the trial, the arguments presented by both the prosecution and defense, and the jury's ultimate decision. We'll discuss the self-defense claim raised by the defense, the testimony presented during the proceedings, and the factors that may have influenced the outcome. I'll also review the sentencing phase and the emotional victim impact statements delivered by Austin's family. As always, my goal is not to sensationalize tragedy, but to help listeners better understand the investigative and legal processes that follow a violent death. Cases like this often generate strong opinions and intense public discussion, but inside the courtroom, decisions must be based on evidence, testimony, and the law. Join me as we take a closer look at one of the most closely watched criminal trials in recent Texas history and examine the legal journey from a fatal encounter to a murder conviction.

Fishhook injuries are common, surprisingly nuanced, and honestly a little intimidating until you've removed a few. In this first episode of our Minor Procedures series, we'll reel in the essentials of pediatric fishhook removal, helping you take the bait on four classic removal techniques, procedural planning, anesthesia strategies, and post-removal management. We'll discuss when to pull back, when to advance, when not to get hooked on a single technique, and how to avoid turning a simple procedure into the one that got away. Along the way we'll cover sedation, antibiotics, wound care, and practical pearls to help you land these cases with confidence. Learning Objectives Compare and select among the four major fishhook removal techniques based on hook characteristics, depth of penetration, and anatomic location. Apply evidence-based approaches to analgesia, anxiolysis, procedural sedation, and post-removal management for pediatric fishhook injuries. Identify situations requiring escalation of care, including ocular involvement, contaminated water exposure, tendon or joint involvement, and circumstances where routine management may not be sufficient.

Final editorial decisions and content responsibility remain with the author. Welcome to PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast. As always, I'm your host, Brad Sobolewski, and today we're gonna start a new series on minor procedures. These are the types of procedures that we perform all the time in the emergency department. They're not the subject of multicenter trials or big keynote lectures, but these are the things that patients and families remember, and trust me, they will remember them whether you do them well or not. First up, fishhook removal. So I'm hoping to reel in some listeners with this one, and so hopefully you'll take the bait, and by the end of this episode you'll understand exactly what angle I'm coming from. And hopefully I'm just not trying to make a bass of myself. So anyway, fishhook removal sounds really simple until you actually start doing it. There's not just one technique. There are four classic approaches, and I'll talk about them all, and which one you choose depends on the hook, whether there's a barb, how deep it is, where it's located, your personal experience with different techniques. Fishhook injuries in children are usually minor and most commonly involve the hands and head, though I've seen them stuck in other body parts as well. Most can be managed in the emergency department or urgent care setting with local anesthesia and basic equipment Of course, if there's concern for tendon involvement, joint penetration, neurovascular compromise, if it's anywhere near the eyeball, you should stop and rethink your plan. You know, so ortho, if it's embedded deeply in a joint, um, anything that involves the eye itself isn't necessarily an emergency department procedure, and I'm not talking about the eyebrow, I'm talking about the globe. Fortunately, that's very rare, but that's definitely an ophthalmology conversation. And so before you even think about removing, you need to understand the hook. Is this a single hook or is this a treble hook? A treble hook is a type of fishing hook that has three individual hooks and barbs arranged in a triangular formation, and they're all fused to a single shank and eye. The eye is where the line gets tied to the hook. Is it freshwater or saltwater? How long has it been there? Is it an old rusty one that was sitting in your garage? Was it underwater for a few hours and then it got hooked in the skin? And honestly, how cooperative is the kid gonna be? Because unlike actual fishing, this is one of the procedures where patience beats blunt force. So the simplest technique is retrograde removal. This is exactly what families think you're gonna do before you walk in the room. You know, just pull it out the way it went in. But that's not how hooks are designed. They have the barb. They're designed to stay in the fish. So most of the hooks that I've removed are barbed hooks, and so you can't just back them out. If you try to pull a hook out the way it came in, it's gonna catch and tug on the tissue, it's gonna lead to more pain, bleeding and tissue distortion and not really gonna get you anywhere. So just pulling it out doesn't work, and family probably would have already tried that at home. The technique I end up using most often is advance and cut. And it kind of sounds wrong the first time you explain it to a family because your solution to removing the hook is to continue to advance the hook, but mechanically, this makes the most sense. So you advance the point of the hook through the skin until the barb exits completely, then use either really good trauma shears or heavy wire cutters to cut the hook in between the shank and the barb. If it's in a location where you have, uh, enough room, I like to hold a hemostat real close to the skin, grabbing the hook. Then I cut near the barb, get the pointy part out of the way, remove the hemostats, and then back it through the skin. This is considered the most reliable technique, and in most reviews it's described as being nearly universally successful, even for larger hooks. In children, I think this needs to be the go-to technique because success matters. You just gotta get it done on the, the first attempt. Kids don't tolerate multiple failed attempts very well. Um, obvious downside is that you create a second puncture wound, but in practice, that puncture is usually controlled and much less traumatic than repeated unsuccessful pulling. Depending on where the skin's at, you may actually need to put a little bit of tension or pressure against the skin to get that hook to poke through. Ultimately, this advance and cut method is the one that you should spend the most time learning and teaching to your trainees. The string yank technique is the one that often is seen at summer camps and on YouTube videos. You loop string or heavy suture or even fishing line around the bend of the hook, apply downward pressure to the shank to disengage the barb, and then pull quickly in line with the shaft of the hook. When it works, it yanks it out almost instantly. That's why the YouTube videos are popular. One second there's a fishhook in the finger, and the next there isn't. The advantage is that this can sometimes just be performed without anesthesia and can even be done at home. The disadvantage is obvious if you work with children. This requires cooperation. Younger kids, anxious kids, a treble hook, something that's deeply embedded, like this isn't gonna work all that well, and it's, again, less reliable with bigger and deeply embedded hooks. The last technique is needle cover. This one gets less attention. It seems elegant, but in practice it's actually pretty hard to do, especially in smaller kid parts. You insert an 18-gauge needle alongside the entry tract until the bevel of that needle covers the barb, and then pull both out together The advantage is that you avoid creating a second puncture wound, and you can minimize tissue trauma. The disadvantage is it's really complex technically. Maintaining alignment of both the hook and needle can be tricky because they sort of like roll and move around. And if you want to do this one, it's probably easier for smaller and medium-sized hook rather than larger embedded or treble hooks. And as you might imagine in the literature, there's not really any randomized trials comparing these techniques. Most of what we know comes from prospective observational studies, case series, procedural experience, and expert review. Advance and cut seems to have the broadest success across scenarios. String yank does earn some points for field use and avoiding local numbing. Needle cover is hard to do, but if the parent is absolutely adamant that you don't create a second hole, then that's probably your best option. And as with any procedure, you should probably be facile in multiple techniques in case the first one doesn't work. You don't just want to stand there and flounder. Anyway, most fishhook removals in children can be done with local anesthesia alone. One percent Lido with or without epi is usually enough. Depending on the location, you may need to do a digital block or a field block instead of just injecting directly around the hook because local infiltration itself can distort the anatomy and actually make removal harder. So that's why I like blocking the digit or doing a little bit of a field block around it. If you have time, a topical anesthetic before local infiltration can be a nice gesture. LMX or EMLA can be really helpful, especially for really anxious kids or kids who are escalating before you even start setting up. They take about forty to sixty minutes. About forty-five minutes is probably ideal. So if you can get that put on in triage, that's actually a, a great technique. So if you know you're going to inject to numb to get the fishhook out, and you need a little bit of extra time to get child life or other personnel in the room, by all means, put a topical anesthetic there. It only absorbs into the outer two millimeters, but it'll help with the poke, not necessarily the burning that happens once the lidocaine is in the tissue. And now that we've talked about pain, I think it's also important to talk about anxiolysis. Most kids that have embedded fishhooks don't need full procedural sedation. If it's right next to the eye, like in the eyelid, then that might be beneficial, especially in a preschool-aged kid or younger. Plenty of them do need some anxiolysis. Um, intranasal or oral midazolam is probably, uh, the most popular option. It's got rapid onset in about twenty minutes, no IV, some amnesia. Recent pediatric data suggests that point four or point five milligrams per kilogram may perform better than lower doses, uh, for the intranasal. If you've got nitrous oxide, that's another nice option for cooperative kids. It provides anxiolysis and analgesia with rapid recovery and a very low rate of adverse respiratory events. Fishhook removal is actually one of those procedures where nitrous can feel disproportionately helpful because the procedure itself is often quick, and the hardest part is just reducing the fear and helping the kid hold still for about thirty to sixty seconds. I think ketamine still has a role. I alluded to when I might use that earlier. Occasionally, you walk into the room and then there's a deeply embedded treble hook, a really anxious child, a failed attempt prior to you being there. And ultimately, yes, IV procedural sedation with ketamine should be on the table, and it's as always an excellent option. And never, ever underestimate distraction. Hopefully, you work in a place where there are child life specialists because they are wonderful. They are magic. But you've got videos, you know, music, VR, parents. I mean, sometimes the difference between success and failure is a working iPad. And then finally, the question of antibiotics. So fishhook removal does not automatically equal a course of antibiotics. A prospective series of one hundred fishhook injuries found prophylactic antibiotics were unnecessary for uncomplicated soft tissue injuries that didn't involve the cartilage or tendon. So if you've got a contaminated wound, a delayed presentation, you know, it was already in an established infection, though I've never actually seen someone impale a fishhook into an area of cellulitis. There's tendon involvement, joint involvement, or, you know, gross water exposure. Well, then maybe consider antibiotics. Freshwater injuries do raise concern for organisms like Aeromonas. Saltwater injuries introduce concern for Vibrio species and occasionally Mycobacterium marinum enters the conversation or the tissue. Um, saltwater injuries are often treated with doxycycline plus a third-generation cephalosporin. You recognize the doxy decisions in younger children require some additional consideration. Freshwater injuries could push you towards broader Gram-negative coverage, but, but honestly, for most fishhook injuries, especially in healthy children, you're just dealing with skin flora. So once I get the hook out, I make sure there's no other retained foreign bodies, like little pieces of the hook or little pieces of the barb. I irrigate with saline or tap water, maybe a hundred mLs for a smaller hook, more for bigger hooks or grossly contaminated wounds. Make sure that there's full neurovascular function and normal range of motion. Antibiotic ointment, simple dressing, update their tetanus shot if it's not been within five years, and explain to the family that the good news is that this is really a forgiving injury most of the time. Once the hook is out, these generally heal really well. We don't need to suture them back up. We're not worried about long-term damage. Tell the parents to watch out for increasing redness, worsening pain, pus drainage, fever, or other systemic symptoms, trouble moving the area, especially if it was around a digit, you know, numbness or anything else that makes you concerned that infection has started instead of healing. Families will almost always ask jokingly when they can fish again. Honestly, usually pretty quickly. Just don't put the wound under water until it's healed, and don't stand directly behind whoever is casting. And now for some take-home points. Fishhook removal is a simple and straightforward procedure where technique really matters. You have to know what type of hook is embedded in the skin. Retrograde does work for superficial or barbless hooks, but most fishhooks that I've seen have barbs because they are designed to stay in the fish. Advance and cut is probably the most broadly successful technique. String yank works if you're a YouTuber. Needle cover is really, I think, only for those scenarios where the family does not want a second hole. It's really actually hard to do. Local anesthesia is enough for most kids, so injecting with lidocaine. If you have time, LMX or EMLA helps with the poke a little bit. Routine antibiotics are not usually necessary. And if there's ocular involvement or if it's in a joint, call an ophthalmologist or an orthopedist. Honestly, this is one of those procedures that's really satisfying once you get comfortable with it. I love doing it with our residents and trainees. Families come in expecting something dramatic, and by the time they leave, they're surprised by how straightforward it was. And I guarantee that this is a story that they will tell for years and years. And if you do a good job and make it a good experience and perhaps even a lighthearted one, they are going to remember that. And yeah, you'll be part of somebody's fishing story. So I hope you did enjoy this first episode on minor procedures. I'm gonna do additional ones like these along the way because, you know, I think that they don't get a lot of love when it comes to traditional education. If you've got any ideas for future procedures or topics, please send them my way. As the kids would say, like, rate, and review. If you leave a review on your favorite podcast site, that would really help other people discover the show. I podcast because I think it's a great way to teach, and I've been doing so since 2013. And yes, you can remove a fishhook. Don't let this straightforward procedure become the one that got away. For PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast, this has been Brad Sobolewski.

In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I'm covering the heartbreaking case of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a high school student whose life was tragically cut short during what should have been an ordinary day at a track meet. In April 2025, a confrontation between two young men at a Frisco, Texas, athletic event ended in an act of violence that shocked a community and made headlines across the country. What began as a disagreement escalated in a matter of moments, leaving one family grieving the loss of a son, brother, friend, and teammate. As a forensic death investigator, I walk through the known timeline of events, the investigation that followed, and the legal proceedings involving Karmelo Anthony. I also discuss the difficult realities surrounding youth violence, split-second decisions, and the devastating consequences that can follow. But as with every case I cover, I want to keep the focus where it belongs. On Austin. On the life he lived, the people who loved him, and the future that was taken from him far too soon. This episode is approached with compassion and respect for everyone affected by this tragedy. Beyond the headlines, this is the story of a young life lost and a community forever changed. This episode contains discussion of violence, homicide, and the death of a minor.  Listener discretion is advised.

Between the Old and New Testaments was a period of about 400 years, often called the Silent Years. Why? Because during this time between Malachi and Matthew, there were no new Scriptural writings given. However, was God entirely silent? I'll say no. There was actually quite a bit of info written during this time; it was just told to us in advance. In fact, there was one really significant world ruler who emerged on the scene during the intertestamental period, and we've all heard about him: Alexander the Great. This man was put into leadership at 20; he conquered virtually all of the known world for Greece by the time he reached the age of 30. Which has always kind of given me a complex. Like, he did all that in his 20s, and I'm over here learning Fortnite dances. If you're 27 years old and you haven't conquered any nations yet- what are you even doing with your life? Right? Alexander the Great actually made quite a name for himself at a young age. And then he quite suddenly and tragically died at the age of 32.But his decade in power reshuffled the landscape of the world. He put an end to the Persians and established the Greek culture, and this had ramifications into the time of the New Testament- which was written in Greek!But as I said, the Bible had already told us about this guy before he even arrived, way back in the Old Testament. And the most fascinating thing of all: Alexander the Great knew it.For real.

Made with the finest ingredients we could find in the back of the 'fridge (and/or on the cutting room floor), we've got trucker skills, Tesla fails, drinking ideas versus sobering wrenches, gas prices, beer tourism, estate sale chemicals, thoughts on mass-air sensors, why so many reverse-cameras are being recalled (rightly so - turn your head already), and how to avoid the dreaded doom-loop of bad-idea layering. Meanwhile, there's the random outsourcing with the Walkin' Dude, Mr. Intolerant, White Mark the Diversity Hire, Tony Sawaya, Homer Simpson and Henchman 23.
