How good of a move did Brad Stevens make among topics included in tonight's Headlines. Then, a plastic surgery scam and Nantucket's version of Groundhog's Day in the New England Nightly News. And, Milton Williams has the distinct honor of playing for two of the wildest fanbases in football.

My guest this week is Massachusetts State Senator Julian Cyr, whose district includes Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket — a situation he never expected to find himself in. As a teenager, Julian was mainly focused on singing, and planned to pursue a career in the humanities. But when budget cuts threatened local arts programs, he organized people to speak up, and discovered he had a knack for leadership that eventually brought him to a specialized program at NYU, the Obama White House, and now to the last place on Earth he ever thought he'd go — the place where he grew up.We'll have that interview in a moment.

Elin Hilderbrand is known as the Queen of the Beach Read. She's sold millions of novels that transport readers to sun, sand and wishes fulfilled. Nantucket was the backdrop for most of her novels, until now. She's left the island behind in her latest book title The Academy, which she co-wrote with her daughter, Shelby Cunningham. She'll talk about what it was like working with her daughter, and share some of the most influential books in her life.Books discussed on this week's show include:Franny & Zooey by JD SalingerEnglish Patient by Michael OndaatjeRobber Bride by Margaret AtwoodLuster by Raven LeilaniThe Academy by Elin Hilderbrand and Shelby Cunningham

35 years ago, Julia Ioffe and her family arrived in the U.S. as refugees from the former Soviet Union, having fled their homeland upon rumors of a planned pogrom against the Jews of Moscow. Julia was only seven. Today, Julia Ioffe — a happy American accident, as she has called her life — has become a go-to journalist for her singular insights on Vladimir Putin and Russia and her reporting on the war in Ukraine and U.S. national security policy.In this conversation with Puck News correspondent Julia Ioffe, recorded August 9, 2024 live at Nantucket's Dreamland Theatre, we discuss: Ukraine's surprise offensive inside Russia; Putin's grip on power — and what it would take to loosen it; Ioffe's deep dive into Putin's childhood; the enduring impact of Stalin's Great Terror on the Russian psyche; Ioffe's reflections on Alexey Navalny; a show & tell analysis of Putin, on camera, demanding obedience from his top aides; how to curse like a Russian; and, two months before she gave birth to her first child, what Julia Ioffe will tell her son about the world he is entering.

Step into Episode 195 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Chris Nelson, founder of Nelson's Meat + Fish, for an intimate conversation about the ocean, sobriety, and what it really takes to build a specialty food market that refuses to cut corners. From growing up on the Connecticut coast and falling in love with the water to navigating decades in hospitality while battling addiction, Chris opens up about the mentors, mistakes, and moments that shaped both his recovery and his business philosophy. If you're in hospitality, love high-quality food, or are building something that requires patience and integrity, this episode delivers real-world wisdom you can use right now.Hear how Chris went from pot scrubber at a Virginia bed-and-breakfast to opening two Arizona locations that source day-boat scallops from Nantucket, Faroe Island salmon, and Family Roots Wagyu from Eloy—all while working with a team that's been with him for years and treating every guest interaction like family. He breaks down why Nelson's isn't a restaurant, how to shop like you're at a farmer's market, the importance of air-chilling seafood at home, and why Americans need to start eating more underrated fish like bluefish, pollock, and mackerel. The conversation also dives into Chris's 13 years of sobriety, meeting his wife Danielle at the one-year mark, and how the discipline of recovery translates directly into the discipline of running a business built on relationships, not transactions.You'll also get the story behind the Nelly Slaw, how Nelson's landed exclusive Pocomo Meadow oysters from Nantucket, and why Chris never wants to own a restaurant again. From mentorship and music (Metallica, Depeche Mode, and punk rock) to the spiritual connection he feels with the ocean, Chris's journey is a testament to how passion, presence, and purpose can turn a love of food into a thriving community hub. Whether you're a chef, home cook, entrepreneur, or someone navigating your own recovery, this episode is packed with honest, relatable insight that goes far beyond fish and meat.Chapter Guide: Timestamps0:00 – 2:08 – Episode 195 Intro, Built Different Community, and Meeting Chris Nelson2:09 – 5:04 – The Power of Relationship, Connection, and Real Service in Business5:05 – 11:49 – Meet the Team: Phoenix and Scottsdale Staff Who Make Nelson's Special11:50 – 16:16 – Nelly Slaw Origin Story, Mentorship from Ann Cashin, and Austin Grill Days16:17 – 20:55 – Chris's Origin Story: Connecticut Coast, Miami, Northern Virginia, and First Taste of Hospitality20:56 – 23:27 – University of Florida, Finding His Tribe, and the Importance of Friendship23:28 – 30:02 – Meeting Danielle: A Chance Dinner in Arizona and 13 Years Together30:03 – 34:44 – Sobriety Journey: Owning It, Feeling Everything, and the Blessing of Recovery34:45 – 39:09 – The Nelson's Customer Experience: Shop Like a Farmer's Market, Not a Grocery Store39:10 – 46:45 – Chasing Seasonality: Nantucket Scallops, Hawaiian Auction, and Day-Boat Quality46:46 – 50:15 – Family Roots Farms Wagyu, Bagelfeld's Bagels, and Working with Local Diamonds50:16 – 53:05 – Food Memories, Claudio's Olive Oil Lesson, and Eating Simple, Good Things53:06 – 55:17 – Fresh Forecast Email, No Pre-Orders, and How to Stay Connected with Nelson's55:18 – 58:50 – Rapid Fire: Salmon vs. Tuna, Metallica, Depeche Mode, East Coast vs. Desert Sunsets58:51 – 1:00:10 – Most Underrated Fish (Bluefish!), Closing Gratitude, and Supporting LocalIf this conversation about the ocean, recovery, and building a business with integrity resonated with you, hit Subscribe for more deep dives on hospitality, food, and real-life resilience. Drop a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share this episode with someone who loves great food or is navigating their own journey of sobriety and entrepreneurship.

There's a lot of martial arts content online that looks impressive—but taken out of context, it can confuse people fast.In this episode of The John Hallett Podcast, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions in self-defense training: the belief that any system—Krav Maga included—can magically neutralize a highly trained fighter.That's not reality.If someone has years of boxing, wrestling, or BJJ experience, and you've been training for six months, you're already behind. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling fantasy.What Krav Maga is designed to do is far more honest—and far more useful.It focuses on teaching the 20% of skills that solve about 80% of real-world problems:Awareness De-escalationGross-motor, high-percentage movementsDecision-making under stressThat matters because most real-world attacks aren't clean, technical, or fair. They're chaotic. Emotional. Close. And often involve people with little to no formal training—not elite competitors.We also talk about how social media creates false comparisons:Competition techniques shown as “self-defense”Advanced movements taught to beginnersVideos designed to “debunk” other systems by changing the contextThat's not education. That's confusion.Self-defense isn't about winning exchanges or proving superiority. It's about using the right tool for the right moment—or better yet, avoiding the fight entirely when possible.One example we discuss: a training scenario where de-escalation was the correct answer—but a student defaulted to striking simply because they were “in range.” That choice escalated a situation that didn't need to become violent.That's a training failure—not a technique failure.The takeaway is simple:Context mattersProbability mattersPrinciples matter more than flashy techniquesAnd most of all, how you train is how you default under stress.If your training ignores awareness, escalation control, and decision-making, no amount of technique will save you.

Is a winter day trip to Nantucket actually worth it for golf?In this podcast (which you can watch on YouTube), I break down the real, door-to-door cost of playing Miacomet Golf Course in the winter, where greens fees drop from $255 in the summer to $70 before April 30.

CHARLESTON GOTHIC Episode 4: Tekeli   The Charleston Library Society has survived fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and war—emerging each time with its treasures intact. Among those treasures: the world's most complete archive of Charleston newspapers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.   In this episode, we enter the stacks where a ghost named Hinson is said to wander, where Henry Timrod's blood-stained manuscript bears witness to a poet's final days, and where a century-old scholarly article waited decades for someone to understand what it revealed. What was Edgar Allan Poe really searching for when he visited Charleston's archives during his time at Fort Moultrie? For over a hundred years, the legend said he came looking for pirate treasure—the buried gold that would inspire "The Gold-Bug." But a 1922 discovery by a Texas scholar suggested something far more personal. Following threads that connect the Poetry Society of South Carolina, a Harvard-trained philologist, and the vanished stage of the Charleston Theatre, we trace Poe's footsteps to a secret hidden in plain sight—one that may unlock the strangest passage he ever wrote.   The answer lies where it has always been: in the newspapers, in the archives, in the advertisements for a play called Tekeli.   Sources:   Books   - Allen, Hervey.

At the start of a new year, I always notice a shift. It's subtle, but it's there. A little lightness. A sense that I can pause, take stock, and step into something new. Even though it's just one calendar year turning into the next, it still feels like permission to begin again. To set new intentions. To let the past be the past. I don't overthink it. I just pay attention to that sense of possibility. As I look back on the year behind me, it wasn't especially easy. There were moments that felt heavy, uncertain, and stretching in ways I didn't expect. Yet, when I slow down and really look, I can also see where pleasure lived right alongside that expansion. Travel, learning, connection, small moments that mattered more than I realized at the time. It reminds me how misleading it can be to label a year as good or bad when most years are a mix of both. My word for this year is bloom, and it feels honest for where I am right now. Instead of evaluating the past year through success or failure, I'm choosing to look at it through the lenses of pleasure and expansion. Noticing what felt nourishing. Noticing what stretched me. On this Wise Walk, we'll slow down and reflect on where those two experiences showed up, and what they might be opening up as we move into the year ahead. As you reflect on the past year, what was the overall feeling you experienced, if you had to name just one feeling? Did the year feel joyful, satisfying, like you were in your groove, or did it feel heavier or harder than you expected? Can you write down that overall feeling without judging it, changing it, or trying to rationalize your way into a different one? As you look back on the year, where did you experience pleasure, whether through moments, activities, trips, connections, or things you gifted yourself? Where did you feel waves of pleasure, satisfaction, joy, appreciation, or gratitude, and can you document those experiences in detail? As you reflect on your list of pleasurable moments, are there any expansion experiences that stand out, meaning challenges or uncomfortable situations that prompted you to grow or evolve? Which of those expansion experiences felt hard, uncomfortable, or even necessary at the time, and how did they ultimately build competence or strength? As you review your lists, can you look back through your calendar or memory to see if there is anything you missed that deserves acknowledgment or appreciation? Can you recognize that whatever you moved through, whether pleasurable or challenging, you found a way forward, and can you offer yourself credit for that? I look forward to continuing this journey of noticing pleasure and expansion with you as the year unfolds.  As always, I'd love to hear what stood out for you from today's episode, so feel free to reach out and share.  Then tune in next Thursday for another Wise Walk. Until then, happy, happy New Year. In this episode: [06:58] When I started this reflection exercise, I listed some pleasurable moments for me over the last year. [07:17] I had some awesome trips including a trip to Ireland, seeing a Wrexham football match, exploring Nantucket, New York, Long Beach, and my cross-country road trip.  [08:14] I feel so much pleasure and gratitude for these trips. [09:02] Selling my home was a double experience of pleasure and expansion. My certifications were also very fulfilling. I also met multiple cool people and had all kinds of adventures. [10:29] When I reflected on how heavy last year felt, I was discounting the abundance of pleasurable experiences I had. [11:45] The growth and expansion has been such a blessing, and I feel even more grounded now. [12:13] We dive into the expansion experiences of last year including the loss of a loved one and emotional heaviness.  [14:13] As you look at the contrast of pleasure and expansion in your life, have you noticed things that you forgot about or things that need acknowledgment? [15:01] Now that we're in the new year and you've found your word to set your guiding intention, take time to do this pleasure and expansion exercise at the close of each week or month. By year-end, you'll have the list to easily reference when you wrap up and reflect on the year. [16:14] 2025 was hard for me, but I feel gratitude for all of the pleasurable moments I had. I'm going to hold these memories near my heart and embrace them. Memorable Quotes: "Expansion doesn't usually feel good while it's happening. It makes sense only when you look back." - Mary Tess "When you stop judging the year and just notice how it felt, something softens." - Mary Tess "In any given year, we're going to have pleasure and we're going to have expansion. Both deserve reflection and acknowledgment." - Mary Tess "When we have those hard moments, something shifts in us. We realize this doesn't feel right, and we're ready to expand in a new direction." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

Nantucket Lightship LV-112. By Arnold Reinhold, Creative Commons license. Today we look back at an interview that was first heard in October 2020. Our guest is Bob Mannino, founder and president of the United States Lightship Museum. The USLM is the steward of the Nantucket Lightship LV-112, the largest lightship ever built in the United States. Bob Mannino The Nantucket South Shoals were a great hazard to shipping, and a lightship was first stationed at the Shoals in 1854. The last vessel to serve there was the LV-112, built in 1936. Its position was 50 miles southeast of Nantucket Island and 100 miles from the U.S. mainland. The LV-112 was decommissioned in 1975 and today it serves as a floating museum in East Boston, Massachusetts. Bob Mannino has been involved for many years in historic preservation and related educational programs, maritime and non-maritime.

Steven Rubin is the CEO of Collared Martin Hospitality, the management company behind Faraway Hotels, with a career that's zigzagged from overnight manager at a 600-room Marriott in 1999 New York City to revenue strategy trailblazer and culture-first leader. He's helped open and grow iconic lifestyle hotels at Kimpton, led across operations, asset management, and hospitality tech, and now steers an independent, experience-obsessed brand expanding from Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard into Sag Harbor and Jackson Hole. Susan and Steve talk about muses, markets, and management—brand-building. What You'll Learn About: • How to think about the "best" path to GM in different segments, from luxury F&B to commercial • What overnight shifts in late-90s New York teach you about composure, guest recovery, and not losing your mind • Why Steven moved from front desk chaos to revenue zen, and how that one decision rewired his whole career • Why Collared Martin is betting on high-barrier leisure markets like Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Sag Harbor, and Jackson Hole • The madness and method of onboarding 26 tech systems in a brand-new management company • How Faraway's fictional female muses shape design, rituals, and guest touchpoints in each destination • Where AI can actually enhance a stay (hello, smarter pre-arrival notes) and where lazy prompts will absolutely backfire • The one thing Steven would change about hotel management companies: caring more loudly, clearly, and courageously *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Leadership Begins With Self-Awareness and Empathy Steven's stories from overnight relocations in New York City to his Kimpton-era emotional intelligence training highlight one central theme: great hospitality leadership starts with understanding people. His guiding principle, "seek first to understand, then to be understood," shapes how he handles guests, conflict, and his executive team's two-word check-ins. This human-centered approach influences Collared Martin Hospitality's culture and his belief in caring deeply for employees and guests. 2. Place-Based Storytelling Creates Brand Magic The Faraway brand's muses, fictional women inspired by each destination, guide design, rituals, service cues, and even pre-arrival moments. This narrative framework ensures that each hotel feels rooted in its location rather than created from a template. Steven's examples, including Susan Bloomfield, the pirate captain in Nantucket, show how authentic local storytelling can inform guest experience without becoming cheesy or generic. 3. Seasonal Markets Require Creative Multi-Sensory Training and Talent Strategies Operating in high-barrier leisure destinations means rebuilding teams every year. Steven is developing a multi-sensory training model that blends visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and cognitive learning to rapidly onboard seasonal staff from around the world. His openness about still learning, experimenting, and adjusting systems, including onboarding 26 technology platforms in a single month, offers practical ideas for hotels that work with seasonal labor or rapid openings.

The conversation also includes an important reminder for anyone who helped decorate trees around town, especially parents and teachers whose students created ornaments, to please remove decorations by January 2, 2026, and why meeting that deadline matters for the Chamber and town partners. Peter also shares where listeners can find more information about the Red Ticket Drawing and upcoming Chamber events as the community heads into the new year.

On this episode, host Joanna Roche sits down with Dr. Jackie Milingo, Director of Astronomy at the Maria Mitchell Association, to examine the controversial space startup Reflect Orbital. The company proposes launching a constellation of orbiting mirrors designed to reflect sunlight back to Earth, providing illumination and solar energy after sunset. Drawing from the company's stated goals, Joanna and Dr. Milingo discuss what Reflect Orbital is trying to achieve and why many scientists believe the concept poses serious concerns for the planet, including increased light pollution, disruption to astronomical research, impacts on wildlife and ecosystems, and the growing problem of congestion and debris in Earth's orbit.To learn more about the Maria Mitchell Association visit https://www.mariamitchell.org/. 

Doug sits down in studio with Anne Kuszpa, Executive Director of Housing Nantucket, to discuss one of the most urgent challenges facing the island, the shortage of year round housing for working families. Anne offers a clear snapshot of where housing availability stands as the year comes to a close, outlines the financial and regulatory hurdles involved in creating and preserving affordable homes, and explains how donor support directly turns into real housing solutions. The conversation also highlights why individual contributions truly matter, especially during the season of giving, and why year end donations are so critical to Housing Nantucket's momentum heading into the new year.

Doug sits down with Mary Casey, Executive Director of the Hospital Thrift Shop on Nantucket, to discuss how this beloved island institution turns donated goods into meaningful support for Nantucket Cottage Hospital. Mary shares the mission of the thrift shop, details about the return of donation days starting in January, and what items the shop is most excited to receive. She explains how donations are processed, the vital role volunteers play, and why community participation through donating and shopping is key to the shop's success. The conversation also highlights the shop's incredible impact, including a record $660,000 donation as it wraps up its 96th year, benefiting the Gouin Village capital campaign for employee housing and a new physical therapy space.

On this episode, host Joanna Roche of the Maria Mitchell Association speaks with Kim Schulam, Stranding Coordinator for the Marine Mammal Alliance Nantucket, about the dead sperm whale that washed ashore on Nantucket's North Shore on November 18. Kim walks us through the response process, including how her team conducted tests and examinations to learn more about the whale and what may have caused its death. She also explains the careful planning and coordination required to remove such a large marine mammal from the beach, ultimately leading to the decision to tow the whale 60 miles offshore to ensure it would not return to Nantucket's shoreline.To learn more about the Maria Mitchell Association visit https://www.mariamitchell.org/.

Some management companies build hotels. Olympia Hospitality builds identity. I spoke with Sara Masterson (President) and John Schultzel (Chief Growth Officer) about how Olympia blends independent spirit, strong brand partnerships, and mission-driven hospitality across destinations like Nantucket, Boston, Winter Park, the White Mountains, and beyond. On #NoVacancyNews, Sara and John explain how they combine boutique creativity with brand-backed consistency, how they think about technology adoption, and why community connection is becoming the core differentiator in both luxury and branded hotels.

In the summer of 1819,  the whaleship Essex set sail from Nantucket, chasing fortune across the vast and indifferent Pacific. What began as a routine whaling voyage soon veered into a nightmare, however, when the hunted became the hunter, and the ship, until now known as one of the luckiest around, was smashed to splinters, leaving her crew adrift in an ocean without mercy. Their struggle was a descent into fear, hunger, and the raw edge of human endurance that would go on to inspire the story of Moby Dick, though much of the darker elements would be left at sea, where such stories belonged.

Jim and Todd return to the "Corner Rick House" for a massive tasting session, cracking open the "Sample Safe" to explore Lost Lantern's Fall 2025 Collection. Dubbed "The Scotch Lovers' Collection," this ambitious release focuses entirely on American Single Malt, showcasing the incredible diversity and maturity of the category across seven distinct expressions. From the maritime influence of Nantucket to the high-altitude mountains of Idaho, the hosts take a deep dive into unique mashbills, historic re-releases, and heavy-hitting barrel proofs. The journey begins with two blends: the American Vatted Malt Reissue, a fifth-anniversary tribute to Lost Lantern's debut whiskey featuring six pioneer distilleries, and the American Vatted Malt Remix, a robust evolution blending malts from 11 distilleries across eight states. Next, they head to the Sawtooth Mountains for the Warfield American Single Malt, a single cask release that stuns the hosts with its creamy lemon square profile despite a staggering 135.4 proof. The tour continues to the East Coast with a trio of releases from Nantucket's Triple Eight Distillery. The hosts sample the Triple Eight 10-Year-Old Single Malt, noting its savory "salt-water taffy" and orchard fruit notes, followed by the oldest whiskey in the collection, the Triple Eight 11-Year-Old Sauternes Cask Finish, which brings rich, funky notes of "1790s cavalry tack shop" and honey-roasted almonds. Rounding out the trio is the Triple Eight Peated Single Malt, offering savory campfire smoke and blackberry cobbler vibes that Todd compares to a "pseudo-Ardbeg". Finally, they revisit a classic pioneer with the McCarthy's 10-Year-Old Peated Oregon Single Malt, a milestone release delivering intense medicinal peat and iodine notes reminiscent of Islay scotch. In a challenging "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" segment, Jim and Todd attempt to rank these seven unique whiskeys, culminating in a "suicide mix" of the final four pours that surprisingly works. Tune in to hear which single malt reigned supreme in this coast-to-coast showdown. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

This is the true story of the 1821 whaleship Essex, the doomed Nantucket vessel whose catastrophic encounter with a massive sperm whale helped inspire Moby-Dick. After the Essex was rammed by the massive whale, the Essex was destroyed, leaving its crew stranded thousands of miles from land.During their harrowing struggle for survival in their open-boat journey. Some of the men would survive, but only by engaging in the "custom of the sea."

Vision Jet owner Ken joins Max Trescott to recount an unforgettable five-day training adventure that bridged the gap between piston flying and turbine jet proficiency. As a longtime Cirrus SR22 pilot from the Boston area, Ken had spent nearly a decade flying for both business and family trips, rarely exceeding 300 nautical miles from home. When he decided to upgrade to a 2019 G2 Vision Jet, he wanted more than a checkout—he wanted a head start on mastering the airplane before tackling the Cirrus type rating course in Knoxville.   In this episode, Ken explains how his "pre-SOE" plan came together. After reaching out to Max, the two pilots scheduled nearly a week of flying to experience diverse weather, airports, and procedures. The goal: to learn the G3000 avionics, improve cockpit workflow, and build real-world familiarity before entering formal training. Their first day took them from Bedford, Massachusetts, to Burlington, Vermont, and then to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where Max demonstrated how to safely cancel IFR and load a visual approach when haze and sun glare limited visibility. That night, while returning to Bedford, they learned the importance of aiming for runway aiming points—not the numbers—especially during night landings in jets. Day two brought a new challenge: deciding whether to fly west toward the Rockies or south toward better weather. A massive cold front made the decision easy, and the pair headed south instead. After a scenic leg along Long Island to Atlantic City, Ken received what Max called "the longest IFR clearance ever." Rather than manually entering the clearance into the G3000, Max showed how to import the flight plan directly from ForeFlight—a huge time-saver for managing long routes. That evening's destination was Greene County, Georgia (3J7), near Ken's in-laws' home at Lake Oconee. The stop held sentimental value: it was the same airport where Ken had first landed years earlier with his brand-new SR22. The next morning brought low fog and another teachable moment. When poor cell coverage prevented them from obtaining an IFR release, Max used the Vision Jet's SAT phone to call clearance delivery—a practical use for a feature many pilots overlook. Later that day, while practicing a VX climb—a maximum-performance takeoff used for steep departure gradients—Ken forgot to raise the landing gear, a common mistake during the high-workload maneuver. The oversight led to a discussion about better cues, timing, and division of tasks between pilots to avoid forgetting critical steps. They also discovered that one set of keys had been left in the cabin door—a harmless but memorable moment that required returning to the airport to retrieve them. From Georgia, they flew to Asheville, North Carolina, for real-world mountain experience, and then to John C. Tune Airport in Nashville. When ATC issued a last-minute vector, Max demonstrated how to safely "do nothing"—allowing the autopilot to intercept as planned instead of overcomplicating things. On day four, they returned to Boston. At night, controllers twice ignored their request for an ILS approach into Bedford, forcing a visual approach at higher altitude and steeper descent rates. Max explained why instrument approaches at night are always safer, and how overworked controllers sometimes inadvertently increase pilot workload. The final day offered a lighter tone: a short hop to Nantucket, one of Ken's favorite destinations. There, Max illustrated how adjusting throttle settings and altitude can drastically change fuel burn—saving nearly 18 gallons on a short leg by reducing power. Ken wrapped up by reflecting on what he gained from the experience: confidence, familiarity with the Vision Jet's systems, and a deeper appreciation for proactive learning. "I encourage other pilots to build their own syllabus," he said, "because flying with an instructor like Max before formal training was both incredibly valuable and a lot of fun." Whether you fly a Cirrus SR22 or aspire to own a Vision Jet, this episode is packed with insights about transition training, pre-type preparation, and real-world decision-making that can make any pilot safer and more capable.

When identical twins Mike and Alex Faherty launched their clothing brand, they made a daring move– launching wholesale, retail, and online, pretty much at the same time. Investors said it was outdated, maybe even doomed.But that contrarian bet helped grow Faherty into a hugely popular brand, built on family, ingenuity, and obsession with detail.The two brothers spent 12 years preparing for launch—Mike at Ralph Lauren learning the craft of fashion, Alex in finance learning the mechanics of business. In the early days they traveled the country in a beach house on wheels, pulling over on the PCH to sell bathing suits and board shorts. Mike's designs—surf culture meets big-city chic—took hold online, in department stores, and even swanky boutiques in Japan, giving Faherty the momentum it needed to eventually grew to $250 million in sales. What You'll Learn:Why the “all channels” strategy (wholesale + retail + online) can actually be a competitive advantage.The power of 12 years of preparation prior to launch.How to leverage factory relationships and suppliers as true partners.Why old-school, in-person sales can be a killer marketing tool How family, trust, and resilience became a core advantage of the Faherty brand.Timestamps:(05:41) Mike discovers Bergdorf's, cashmere, and fashion inspiration as a teenager in NYC(08:19) Mike gets grief from his basketball teammates for studying fashion at Wash U(13:38) Mike lands a job at Ralph Lauren to learn fashion from the inside(21:28) The moment Alex's mentor tells him that starting a clothing brand is “the dumbest idea I've ever heard”(31:41) The brothers launch Faherty online from a borrowed apartment in Puerto Rico(35:00) Roaming the country in a mobile beach house that doubles as their first store(41:34) Early wins with specialty shops(59:14) The brand nearly runs out of money and gets rescued by a man from Nantucket (1:07:14) A Covid-era gamble that pays off in massive growth (1:15:04) How the identical-twin bond became a superpower for the brandFollow How I Built This:Instagram → @howibuiltthisX → @HowIBuiltThisFacebook → How I Built ThisFollow Guy Raz:Instagram → @guy.razYoutube → guy_razX → @guyrazSubstack → guyraz.substack.comWebsite → guyraz.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
