Keeping the consumer first in mind is something that has always been obvious and has been delivered by the likes of the tech wizards and creative types in the gaming and movie worlds, where their work is approved, accepted, and fanatically enjoyed by many millions of happy consumers. In the property world, however, such devotion and focus on that end consumer has mostly been sadly lacking. The tenant. The resident. They often find themselves way down the list of priorities behind profits and planning designs. But what if you could take those consumer-focused tech teams and get them to produce software that would benefit residents in new residential schemes in ways never before imagined? That's where today's guest Jeremy Heath-Smith comes in. Former creator of the global sensation in the gaming and movie worlds - Tomb Raider - and now founder and CEO of Spike Global, the UK's leading resident engagement and property management software provider. Jeremy shares the fascinating story of how the incredible transformation of Battersea Power Station brought him and his team into the world of property. Jeremy gives a live demonstration during the show, of how Spike Global's software portal and messaging platform has transformed the engagement, integration, communication, and happiness and well-being enjoyed by the residents in that and other housing schemes in the UK. See and hear about how developers can completely change their game when it comes to delivering for the end-customers: the landlords, the property managers, the residents, the tenants. Listen to Jeremy talk about how his team's systems performed in ways they never imagined when the global pandemic swept across the landscape. Efficiencies in building management, and control of logistics and operations within a scheme, yes. But more than that. Building and evolving thriving communities. Making people feel connected and supported. Enriching the lives of users and communities by creating better places to live and work...

The champagne is flowing freely today for Michelle now that she has survived the ‘Summer from Hell', and Suzanne is celebrating her recent victory as well. One thing they're not exactly celebrating, however, is how travelling post-COVID-19 is a different experience from what it used to be in the past. In today's episode, our hosts have more than a few things to say about the new flying experience and what it means for air passengers. The episode starts with Suzanne picking up from the last episode and talking about how she won the candle contest on Instagram. Then, she moves on to the theme of the day's podcast and discusses how flying is now an uncomfortable experience for her, including her experiences with flights being delayed or canceled at airports. She also relates her difficulties with car rental services, and problems related to obtaining food on flights. Together, Michelle and Suzanne explore how employee shortage hurts flight operations at airports. Finally, the episode ends on a positive note, with Michelle giving a shout-out to her daughter-in-law for taking on the Orange Juice Optional Instagram page. Episode Highlights Michelle and Suzanne's reasons for celebrating COVID-19 protocols air passengers are expected to follow Suzanne's difficulties while traveling by air Vaccination, employee shortages, and their impact on the flying experience The upcoming Orange Juice Optional Instagram page Quotes ‘‘And my point at that point was, if you're getting on a plane, and passengers have become unruly, and it's like, I wonder if that's because the airlines have made it so uncomfortable for us to travel, that our frustration levels are at their peak.'' “But instead of trying to get to where we were, how to recreate a positive environment that we can all peacefully live in without feeling this angst and this stress, and this frustration, wherever we go, the judgment.'' “It's like I am on a campaign now to find the positive ways to deal with life in general.''

Suzanne's candle contest is drawing to a close – in fact, it will be over by the time this episode airs – but she has taken time out of routinely checking the voting updates on Instagram to join Michelle for today's episode about fall – the favorite season of at least one of our hosts. In their wide ranging discussion here today, they share their perspectives on autumn and explore some facts about the season that prove to be as interesting as they are entertaining. The episode begins with an update on the candle contest followed by the autumn personality quiz, Michelle's feelings about the fall season, leaves, and Suzanne's pumpkin spice cookies. Suzanne goes on to review her love for autumn colors like yellow, brown, and orange, and together she and Michelle talk about the places which they would like to visit in the fall. Love it or hate it, fall is a fact of life – one which our hosts shine the spotlight on in today's fun and fascinating episode. Episode Highlights Suzanne's candle contest update How Michelle and Suzanne feel about fall Michelle and Suzanne's fall quiz results Things that Michelle and Suzanne love to do in the fall season Quotes ‘‘I love seeing different leaf colors. I love to feel the crispiness in the air, like when I breathe in to take it in and it feels so crisp and fresh.'' “But I like how the skies look when it's fall. Like, there's a lot of drama in the skies, the clouds.” “In fall, there just needs to be an eeriness in the air, just a little bit of mystery.'' ‘‘Fall colours are my favourite colours. I love browns. I love orange. I love deep yellow, like a golden rod yellow.'' Show Links Homepage: Orange Juice Optional Goodnight Sweet Bear: Goodnight Sweet Bear Why Hello! Modern Home: Why Hello!

If there is one topic that all of us know something about, especially over the past year and a half, it's stress. Michelle and Suzanne certainly are no strangers to this condition, and today they focus their trademark entertaining and informative spotlight on some of their more stressful situations in life as well as some techniques that can be used to beat stress. In today's episode, Suzanne starts by discussing a candle slogan contest she is participating in on Instagram. Then, the conversation shifts to the topic of stress, an evil that makes people feel overwhelmed in certain situations. After discussing stressful experiences related to airport protocols and passengers, Michelle and Suzanne explore stress management, techniques to combat stress, and how unconventional stress reduction techniques like sparking joy for other people can also help them uplift their moods. Finally, the episode ends with Michelle committing to implement the stress reduction techniques next week, an excellent example for all of us to follow. Episode Highlights: Suzanne's participation in a candle slogan contest Suzanne and Michelle's stressful flying experiences Techniques to beat stress Quotes: “I know when I find myself getting stressed out, I start that mental process. Also just breathe, just breathe.'' “And a lot of times when I close my eyes like that, I will listen for sounds and I have always found this fascinating that when you really listen to sound, you don't just hear one level of sound. You can usually hear different sounds all at the same time.'' “And the best, best, best way for me is if I take a walk. It's like, for whatever reason, it clears my brain, it makes me feel better.'' “When you turn, try to turn someone's day around just by giving them a nice comment, just by making them feel better.''

After doing a quick check on what kind of mood they're in, and reviewing just how overwhelming Michelle's move is at the moment, our hosts pick up where they left off at the end of the previous episode to explore the world of ‘life hacks'. Realizing that sometimes we all can get so used to performing actions in a specific way, today Suzanne and Michelle share with listeners some of the life hacks – those pieces of information that make your life simpler - that they have adopted over the years which have worked for them and might just work for you as well. Beginning with Michelle's embarrassing moment of realization that water boils faster with the lid on, they go on to look at hacks that can be used in the kitchen and share their experiences of applying some specific life hacks. They finish up by discussing the hack that involves taking a photo of a car in the parking lot to remember its location. Whether or not you have heard these tips before, today's episode is as entertaining as it is informative – definitely one you do not want to miss. Episode Highlights An update on Michelle's move Life hacks related to alcohol and the kitchen Hacks that help cure medical problems Hacks related to everyday household objects Quotes ‘‘I probably missed a lot when I was writing my list down as well, for that very reason. Because there are things that you just do over and over again, that you forget is a life hack.'' ‘‘Okay, so you, if you have boiling water with no lid on it, and you want to keep the water from boiling over, you put a wooden spoon across the top of it.'' ‘‘But again, for me, it was really hard because, you know, you integrate them into your everyday life, and they don't feel like hacks anymore, but they could really save somebody else some time.''

With fingers crossed that their mic issues are in the past, Suzanne and Michelle are back today to talk about one of the side effects that technology holds for them – procrastination. But it's not just technology that inspires this delay of completing tasks in their lives, and in today's episode they take a deeper look at why and how it shows up for them, much of which will undoubtedly ring true for listeners as well. They begin by exploring some surprises in Suzanne's life and the reason why she dislikes them so much, and then they move on to discuss the times when they themselves have procrastinated. They also examine why the need to procrastinate arises in the first place, and throw light upon how procrastination can be viewed as a positive activity. To finish up, Michelle and Suzanne take the procrastination quiz and determine which type of a procrastinator they are, based on the five different types outlined. There's no surprise that today's episode is yet another thoroughly entertaining one, and listeners will come away so very pleased that our hosts didn't put this one off. Episode Highlights: Suzanne and surprises Procrastinating before having important conversations How Michelle and Suzanne procrastinate in different situations Why they procrastinate The five types of procrastinators Quotes: ‘‘Like, if I have to have a really uncomfortable conversation with somebody, or share some news, or have a talk that I'm not looking forward to, I will procrastinate. I do not want to step into that feeling of I'm disappointing someone. I don't want to step into that feeling of being mad at me, perhaps.'' “There's always that element of surprise in a conversation that you've planned to have, especially uncomfortable conversations. Even when you try to anticipate their responses, there's always that element of surprise.'' “So, I guess what I'm trying to say is when it comes to having a timeline in place, or a deadline in place, I am very good at not procrastinating because I don't like to put myself in a state of chaos, like this move every step of the way.'' “So, people might procrastinate because they feel anxious about something, like they're not going to be able to do it well enough, or it's too much on their plate or there's no interest.''

In moments of frustration or truly poor customer service, sometimes you've just got to slip into “Karen Mode” to stand your ground. Suzanne kicks off today's episode with an absolutely aggravating story about a recent experience she had while visiting Las Vegas for a home product show, and reflects with Michelle about why middle-aged men are not labelled a “Karen” when they ask to speak to the manager. As they contemplate this double standard, Michelle then shares her hilarious story about a makeshift Louis Vuitton dog leash, and the puzzling feedback she's received from buyers in the very stressful process of selling her home. Michelle and Suzanne touch on today's topic, procrastination, and discuss the pros and cons of being a mental listmaker versus writing things down. They chat about the sense of accomplishment that comes with getting things off your plate, which brings them to a most amusing conversation about work dinners, exaggerated stories, and experiencing FOMO when they miss out on events with one another. Of course, they have much more to say about procrastination as well, but they'll get to it next time! Episode Highlights: Suzanne's recent “Karen” moment at a hotel in Las Vegas Michelle's hilarious makeshift Louis Vuitton dog leash and the stress and frustration of selling her house Procrastination, To-Do Lists, and the sense of accomplishment you get when checking things off Exaggerating stories for the sake of the story without going too far Being supportive partners at their husbands' work dinners and missing each other when one cannot make it Quotes: “Are we dealing with a little bit of a double standard here? Because all of a sudden, middle-aged white female women are ‘Karens' when they create a scene about something that is somewhat justified. But this older gentleman, who is tossing around names and tossing around his importance in life, and demanding a table right now is not getting a ‘Karen' label.” “Experiences in selling a house... I know it will sell when the time is right. It's a beautiful home. It's just having patience. And we all know that is not a strong suit of mine.” “It's such a great feeling, when you can get it off your plate. When you actually take care of something, you accomplish it. It's done. And it's off your plate. No more procrastination.” “Exaggerating stories once they get too far exaggerated is a huge pet peeve of mine, because I'm sitting there going, It didn't happen like that.” “It's great having a person like that in your life, who makes you feel like they want you there.” “Of course, procrastination - we have a lot to say on that. But yes, we procrastinate until next time.” Links: Homepage: Orange Juice Optional Goodnight Sweet Bear: Goodnight Sweet Bear Why Hello! Modern Home: Why Hello! Modern Home Why Hello!

Time was, many top interior designers sought to conjure a perfectly seamless décor—whether it be all Louis XV furniture, all early American, or all modern. The results could be beautiful—but also somewhat boring, and certainly impersonal. Interior decorator Thomas Jayne suggests another way to put together the spaces we live in: by using creative combinations of striking art and objects from across time to derive a style that's endlessly evocative, livable, and fresh. In this episode, Ben Miller gets the goods from Jayne on the history of interiors (from the Greeks to the present day); what to budget first; and the spirit of “democratic decoration,” that, historically, has animated American interiors.
In getting her house ready to be sold, Michelle is going through a lot of her belongings and trying to decide what needs to stay and what needs to go. As she engages in this process, she's finding, as many of us do, that the memories arising are making her feel quite nostalgic, reminding her of different moments in the lives of herself and her family. As a result, this week's episode is all about the sense of nostalgia that virtually all of us experience at some point in our own lives as well.

With all of the frustration that technology has introduced into their lives, Michelle's been looking for a topic to discuss with Suzanne today that is benign enough to calm everything down for a bit. Given that the Tokyo Games are running right now, the Olympics and sports in general seem to fit the bill perfectly. This week, she and Suzanne start by sharing some of their technological woes, before going on to discuss the Olympic Games, including the athletes who participate in them and the performance anxiety they go through, and the impact of COVID-19 on their experience at this year's Games. They also discuss the sports they like and play, as well as their flexibility and athletic build, and, as is their habit, head off into such tangents as picky eaters. As always, you just never know what exactly you're going to get when these two best friends get together, but you always know you're going to enjoy the ride. Episode Highlights: Michelle and Suzanne's frustration with technology Their memories of watching athletes participate in the Olympics Athletes and performance anxiety COVID-19 and its impact on athletes' experience of The Olympics Michelle and Suzanne's experiences playing sports Some ‘tangent things' Quotes: “But there's actually a thing that they refer to when you kind of lose your train of thought, in the middle of your routine. And she said that's what's happened to her, is her mind and her body connecting.'' “Because in anything you do, you have to be mentally strong and prepared.'' “So, I think there's a lot of pressure, especially in the Olympics on individual athletes, especially on the ones that are favored to win the gold because they get so much media attention, which you kind of have to blame the media, you kind of have to tell the media back off, you know, let these kids perform, because most of them are just kids.'' “If you have the passion for it, you could be really good at it if you have the skill, right?” “To be perfectly honest, tangent things are more interesting to me than the Olympics.” Links: Homepage: Orange Juice Optional Goodnight Sweet Bear: Goodnight Sweet Bear Why Hello!

In this episode, I share about how modern home fires are very different today than they were in the past. The materials and supples used in construction to make homes less expensive, easier to install and quicker to build can come with hazards. There are chemicals that might be released during a fire and the strength is just not their in flooring materials used today. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/matt-warren8/message
It's been a crazy few weeks for Michelle and Suzanne, and it's shaping up to be a crazy summer as well. They haven't even had the opportunity to talk much lately, so today's episode is a chance for them to catch up with each other and for listeners to catch up on everything our hosts have been up to right along with them. Beginning with an update on Suzanne's refrigerator and Michelle's experience helping her son move to Colorado, they go on to discuss how complimenting strangers can make them feel good. The episode then concludes with Suzanne sharing her experiences at her niece's wedding in Alaska. The crazier things get, the more we all need an opportunity to take a breath and catch up with good friends, something that we all get to enjoy here today. Episode Highlights: Suzanne's refrigerator update Helping Colton move Suzanne and Michelle's families, weddings, and tasks at home How complimenting strangers is a good thing to do Michelle and Suzanne's plans for the future Quotes: “The moral of the story is…telling people nice things that make them feel good, makes me feel good.'' “But I'm going to start doing it more because I think the conversation was now that we can see people's faces and see how they react. And we can see them smile or engage with us to say something nice to them or about what they're wearing or, you know, a compliment is really nice thing.'' “I realized on that trip that I do need to step back a little, that he'll live how he wants to live. And I just hope at some point that it moves from, you know, college life to professional life, which it will.” “That's all I want, you know, at the end of the day, one, for any of them, is to be happy and safe and successful in their life with the people and what they choose to do, whatever they choose to do.''

In today's podcast, Michelle and Suzanne continue their discussion about friendships from last week, picking right up where they left off (after a brief discussion about bear and moose encounters). Once again, through their own example they clearly demonstrate that good friends are like rare gems and that those who find them are truly blessed. They begin by sharing some stories about bear and moose encounters, and then resume their conversation about friend groups by looking at the difficulties a new member of a group faces while trying to fit in with other members. Together, they go on to discuss topics like ghosting friends, divorcing a friend, the evolution of a friendship, and how the dynamics of a friendship can change due to situations like disagreements. Our hosts bring this episode to a fitting close by celebrating their friendship and just how thankful they are to have each other in their lives - something that all listeners of the podcast can be truly thankful for as well. Episode Highlights: Some stories of bear and moose encounters How every group of friends is different How changing locations can affect friendships Personal struggles with keeping friends Ghosting in a friendship and the importance of closure Things that lead to the evolution of a friendship Quotes ‘‘So, you bring up an interesting point, meeting new people is always a challenge just because, you know, personalities and stuff and the time you have to invest in starting from that new place, obviously.'' “But in my heart, my friend is my friend. You don't that just that, you just can't flip that switch off.'' ‘‘Because when somebody causes hurt, or something happens that causes a change in the relationship, it gets wrinkled, and it can't ever go back to that perfect state.'' ‘‘I think that realistically, even if the friendship evolves and becomes stronger, it takes a lot for me to let my guard down once it's up.''

Given the busy days Michelle and Suzanne have ahead of them, and to give their livers a break as well, it's a champagne optional day today. Recent events in both their lives have brought the topic of criticism to the forefront, and form the basis for today's episode. Drawing upon their own experiences, they have a lot to say about so many aspects of this topic, many of which will be very familiar, some that may just surprise you, and all of which will definitely get you thinking. Michelle starts things off by sharing some of her wedding ‘crunch time' items, and then she provides both a definition of criticism and the categories that she applies within it. She and Suzanne go on to look at the various forms that criticism takes, the problems with it, some of their own experiences with it and how they accept it. They finish up by exploring who has the right to criticize, shadow work, and self-criticism. Filled with insights that only experience can provide, our hosts engage in an enlightening examination of this universal topic of criticism, and offer some valuable food for thought for all listeners here today. Episode Highlights: Wedding ‘crunch time' items The definition of criticism Michelle's categories of criticism Constructive criticism and feedback Problems with criticism Cyber bullying How Michelle and Suzanne accept criticism Some of their experiences with criticism Getting blindsided by criticism Taking criticism as an asset Who has the right to criticize you? Shadow work Self-criticism Quotes: “We have to have a police officer present for that time of the reception.” “I feel like a bitch on wheels this week.” “It could be an upgrade from Texas wine to, I don't know, box wine.” “To say that it's constructive criticism is somehow justifying your right to criticize, and I don't necessarily agree with that.” “Sweat pants, alcohol, and kids always tell the truth.” “Never send a drunk or an angry email.” “That was such bullshit criticism, right?” “It's a dangerous approach to use anger as our vehicle to improve things.” “To sit back behind a computer screen, not wanting to be part of the action, but criticizing what everybody does, you're not helping the problem. You're just inciting more discontent.” “I am now 50 years older than that, and I still remember that it's the first thing of criticism that I remember.” “Take criticism as an asset instead of an insult.” “Let it go, Suzanne, let it go.” “I am probably the queen of criticism. I probably criticize people more than anyone else.” “What good purpose does that serve?” “I do have a critic in my life, and she's a nasty little bitch.” “Too much criticism from a good friend turns into ‘I don't want to be around that person anymore.' ” “I think that's an incredibly challenging thing to have to do is go to that employer and say, ‘Here's what I think you're doing wrong' or ‘Here's my opinion of you.' ” “Don't be so hard on yourself, accept who you are and what you do as good.” “I kind of blissfully go through life thinking everything I do is the right thing to do.” “I have very few regrets in my life… I really feel pretty good about myself.” “I can be such a bitch, I'm just saying.” “God, why did I do that? I'm such an idiot!” Links: Homepage: Orange Juice Optional Goodnight Sweet Bear: Goodnight Sweet Bear Why Hello! Modern Home: Why Hello! Modern Home Why Hello! Modern Home Facebook Why Hello!

Michelle has some big news to share today regarding a ‘middle age move’ she and Robb are undertaking, and Suzanne is ready with valuable advice to help them through it all. Choosing to downsize their residence in Alaska means that Michelle and Robb will be getting their current home ready to sell, and preparing a smaller space to move into. Happily, Suzanne’s interior design experience and knowledge will help them, as well as all those listening, to do it the best way possible. Michelle begins by describing the upcoming transition, bringing up memories of garage sales and Chuck E. Cheese, and Suzanne then begins to demonstrate her expertise in interior design. She offers advice on choosing paint colors, getting a house ready to sell or move into, and how to combine spaces and work with contractors and industry standards. As you will hear, Suzanne has a great deal of passion and advice to offer in this area, which means that we can all look forward to yet another episode on this topic sometime in the future where she can share it all. Episode Highlights: Michelle’s middle age move Garage sales and Chuck E. Cheese Suzanne’s design tips Choosing paint colors Getting a house ready to sell Getting a house ready to move into Combining a guest space with an office Working with contractors and industry standards Quotes: “The house holds so many memories, and it holds so much crap, also.” “Well there are 10,000 creams out there and picking the right one can make or break it.” “It's called Pavillion Beige, and it's an overall perfect beige, and it's a Sherwin Williams paint. And no matter where you put it, you will love it.” “You don't want them to zoom in on wedding pictures or pictures of children or what kind of dishes you own, or...your tastes and furniture - you’ve got to get rid of all that stuff and make it feel very neutral.” “Everything that can be cleaned should be cleaned spotlessly.” “I think anything you can do to make it feel like a home without making it feel too personal is a good idea.” “I want somebody to be able to create new memories there with their family.” “Do not live with someone else's carpet.” “What fit perfectly in your big house is not going to work in a smaller scale home.” “You need to learn the personality of the townhome and furnish it accordingly.” “You might save 1000 bucks buying something cheap today, but in the long run, you're going to spend 10 times that replacing the cheap sofa that you buy.” “Animals are the hardest possible thing on an area rug or on carpet...invest in the highest quality you can, because it's going to be a lot easier to maintain it and keep it looking nice.” “I am feeling like I have jumped into the deep end of a pool, and I'm going to drown without help.” “I'll just throw it out there to the universe and say, ‘Cheers, everyone’.” Links: Homepage: Orange Juice Optional Goodnight Sweet Bear: Goodnight Sweet Bear Why Hello!

Suzanne’s had a bit of a sleepless night, but Michelle’s fully rested and ready to take on the topic of middle age, or as she prefers to call it, middle adulthood, in today’s episode. Originally intended to review the more positive side of this time in life, our hosts, as usual, look at all sides of the topic, adding in a number of their own experiences, both hilarious and touching. They begin today by tending to some unfinished business from their previous episode, namely sharing their favorite Seinfeld episode, before beginning their exploration of middle age. When they first noticed it setting in, the age they consider it to be, and some of its negative and positive attributes form much of this exploration along with examples from their own lives. They finish up by highlighting the importance of a ‘carpe diem’ attitude, and some pieces of valuable advice which they received from their parents. In yet another episode that runs the gamut from lighthearted to deeply thoughtful, Michelle and Suzanne again bring their unique perspective to bear on a fact of life to which everyone can relate. Episode Highlights: Their favorite Seinfeld episode When they noticed middle age setting in The age they consider to be middle age Some negative and positive attributes of middle age Carpe diem The valuable advice their parents have shared with them Quotes: “Just that word ‘middle age’, it just conjures up such a negative image in my mind.” “Middle age is not pretty.” “I’m dangerously close to considering myself old.” “Somewhere along the way, I became not so young anymore.” “When did I become the oldest woman at the table instead of the youngest at the table?” “Look at you getting all positive and reflective on us here.” “It's like, ‘Oh my God, what is this?’” “Older women clothes are much more comfortable than Ann Taylor ever was.” “I would go into the old women's section to buy for my mom at that time. And look at me now. Now…they know me by name.” “I also have a very false sense of how good looking I am, and how fit I am. And, remember, my mind tells me I'm still 24.” “I had blissfully gone through life, not knowing about underarm flap, not looking for it, and I found it when someone pointed it out to me.” “As a middle aged woman, I don't really care about what other people think of me.” “We have to enjoy life now because we're not guaranteed old age.” “In middle age and middle adulthood, we actually get to that point where we become the ones who share our wisdom and our experiences with our kids, and hopefully can make a difference in their life.” “It was a tough day, but now we're proud AARP people.” “Stop calling me out.” Links: Homepage: Orange Juice Optional Goodnight Sweet Bear: Goodnight Sweet Bear Why Hello!
