What you gotta say today?

Someone burned their boob.

There are big books and big books. This week we cover a HUGE book. China Miéville is the guest. The award-winning author of Perdido Street Station, Embassytown, The City & the City, and other modern speculative classics – and he's back with a book two decades in the making.   The Rouse is an epic of true proportions, a 1300-page saga of the twentieth century, rife with war, atrocity, tragedy, and a secret war fought with ghosts?? That's the premise but it barely touches the sides of this ginormous undertaking.   This is not just a conversation, it's a search for answers – in which we plumb the personal, political, and supernatural influences behind this story of shady military conspiracy and ghosts of many strange kinds.   I hope you enjoy, ‘cos I worked my ass off for this one!   Other books mentioned: King Rat (1999), by China Miéville The City & The City (2009), by China Miéville Ducks, Newburyport (2019), by Lucy Ellman Gravity's Rainbow (1973), by Thomas Pyncheon Against the Day (2006), by Thomas Pyncheon House of Leaves (2000), by Mark Z.

What you gotta say to us today?

What you gotta say to us today? Then we ask what odd thing do you find attractive?

In this episode, Steve Lentini engages in a profound conversation with Leah M. Hill, the founder of the Apollo Sunrise Center. in Newburyport, Ma. Leah shares her journey from a life of suppressing her intuitive abilities to embracing them fully, creating a space where community and healing can flourish.Leah emphasizes the importance of noticing the subtle signals our brains send us. She refers to the work of neuroscientists and thinkers who promote expanding beyond primal emotions like anger and anxiety. These primal feelings often signal that our brains are stuck in low-frequency thinking. Leah urges listeners to recognize these emotions as opportunities for growth and reflection.Leah discusses her experiences as a child, recognizing her intuitive abilities early on but feeling the need to suppress them. She describes her transition from a successful career in marketing to founding the Apollo Sunrise Center, a place dedicated to healing and intuitive development.At the Apollo Sunrise Center, Leah offers a variety of services, workshops, and retreats designed not only for spiritual growth but for fostering creativity and wellness among diverse groups. She reflects on how the pandemic has intensified feelings of isolation and underscores the importance of community in combating this loneliness.Both Leah and Steve touch on the shift from a culture of competition to one of collaboration. Leah notes that in her community, there is a strong sense of sharing and supporting one another rather than competing against one another. This is a significant change from the past, and it's one that encourages growth and mutual support.Leah explains that many people are intuitive but may not recognize it. She discusses common signs that indicate one is becoming more attuned to their intuitive abilities, such as seeing repetitive numbers or receiving sudden insights during mundane tasks. As Leah puts it, "We all have those skills. It is a skill. And it's a skill that I believe we have and we can develop."In this thought-provoking conversation, Leah invites us to explore our inner selves and consider the ways we can connect with our intuition and each other. To dive deeper into Leah's journey and insights, listen to the full episode of Different Thinking for Different Times.Noticing the Signals"We're wasting energy railing against people on social media. You're never going to convince them to change their mind." — Steve Lentini Leah - "The Awakening of Intuition" I feel like we're in this epidemic of loneliness... I realized I really wanted to create that community." — Leah M. Hill, "Creating Community Collaboration Over Competition.""We are moving away from a culture of competition and into a culture of collaboration." — Leah M. Hill.

Ok, these are kinda funny.

What do you've so say today?

Mario LaPosta had a dream (literally).Following a nightmare about a kitchen incident, paired with his deep Italian roots and love of family meals at a long dinner table, LaPosta knew a future in the kitchen awaited him. Eventually, the Connecticut native moved to Italy so he could learn the ins and outs of the Neapolitan pizza-making process. Then, after returning to the States, he started running the pizza programs at a chain of restaurants outside of New York City, and then later, in Boston.On today's episode, Mario LaPosta of Mamma Luca joins host Troy Farkas to discuss his long, winding road to Mamma Luca - from the real deal kitchens of Rome to the cobblestone streets of Portsmouth. Additionally, the guys talk about what NOT to do when opening a restaurant, why the restaurant business is notoriously difficult to survive in, the compromise you have to make when opening an authentic Italian restaurant in America, and more.To check out Mamma Luca, pay them a visit at 111 State St. in downtown Portsmouth.SUPPORT SEACOAST STORIES:Follow Seacoast Stories on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get our new episodes every week.Join our FREE online community, The Local Thread, here.UPCOMING EVENTS:Seacoast Stories Dinner Club: We're in Newburyport, Mass., on Wednesday, September 2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book your seat at the table here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Seacoast Stories Dinner Club pres. by ⁠⁠⁠Partners Bank⁠⁠⁠: We return to Kittery, Maine, on Wednesday, September 16! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book your seat at the table here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SPONSORS:⁠⁠⁠Degree Wellness Seacoast⁠⁠⁠: A new all-on-one recovery center is coming to North Hampton, N.H!

The future of New Hampshire is at stake.Luckily, brilliant young minds are on the case for building a better New Hampshire.In a rare roundtable discussion, popular past guests Corinne Benfield (Stay Work Play) and Andrew Samonas (Samonas Realty) join host Troy Farkas to discuss a number of topics, including the recent Portsmouth parking controversy and its effect on the local workforce, why a shortage of affordable childcare is causing big problems for families across the state, Gen Z's experience of navigating the workforce in the age of artificial intelligence, and how, weeks after a $16 million home sale in Hampton, the Seacoast's leaders are thinking about tackling the ongoing housing crisis.For more from Corinne's organization, you can follow Stay Work Play on Instagram @stayworkplay.

Lauren Atwood entered the world against all odds.Thirty-three years ago, the lifelong Seacoast native was born three months early as the product of an abusive relationship between her mother and biological father. In the ensuing years, Atwood bounced around from home to home, watched her mother bring home man after man, and became estranged from her real father, all while trying to live a normal life.But Atwood refused to become a statistic.After meeting her now-husband Chris in high school, Atwood paid her way through UNH, worked in marketing at Timberland, and started a successful blog that paved the way for Otter Creek Homes, the Seacoast's go-to construction & interior design company.From her office in North Hampton, N.H., Atwood joins host Troy Farkas for a wide-ranging conversation about the harrowing details surrounding her miraculous birth, why she was a "pawn in the game" between her mother and father, overcoming childhood trauma to build the business of her dreams, what sets Otter Creek Homes apart from other firms in the field, and the phone call she received last year that, for the first time in her life, made her feel free.If you or someone you know is fighting domestic and sexual violence here on the Seacoast, please find support with HAVEN.SUPPORT SEACOAST STORIES:⁠Visit the NEW ⁠⁠⁠⁠SeacoastStories.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ for our newsletter & LIMITED-TIME ⁠⁠⁠⁠summer merch drop⁠⁠⁠⁠!Follow Seacoast Stories on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get our new episodes every week.UPCOMING EVENTS:Seacoast Stories Dinner Club pres. by Partners Bank: Our largest Dinner Club yet visits Portsmouth on Wednesday, August 19! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book your seat at the table here.⁠⁠⁠⁠Seacoast Stories Dinner Club: We're in Newburyport, Mass., on Wednesday, September 3.

We got some Erika B-day wishes.

Let's hear what you gotta say on this fine day.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Slade Williams, an author working on his memoir Non Prophet. We are doing something a little bit different today, talking about memoir writing but before he has his book published. Let's take a look at what it is like in the trenches while writing a memoir.   Slade Williams is a writer, survivalist of a chaotic childhood, and a self-proclaimed "non-prophet." In his debut memoir, Non Prophet, Slade explores a unique knack for spotting mathematical patterns and connections between his own life and the major milestones of the Bible—specifically Jesus. Fully aware of how ridiculous that sounds, Slade leans heavily on dark humor and sarcasm as a necessary shield against his own delusions of grandeur. He anchors this spiritual odyssey in the gritty, often absurd reality of growing up in an alcoholic, abusive household. The result is a story that is equal parts cosmic and deeply grounded, proving that the best way to handle immense religious weight and childhood trauma is with a healthy dose of wit. Slade lives in Newburyport, Massachusetts, where he continues to look for patterns in the everyday chaos and tries very hard not to accidentally start a cult.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Slade Williams Website: www.sladewilliams.com X: @GSladeWilliams IG: @gsladewilliams   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Here's the Ravelry Project Page for mine. She also started a diamond painting project and crocheted several rounds on her hexagon blanket. She's using white worsted weight yarn held with minis from the advent yarn Nicole sent her. Marta and Roc both worked on his diamond painting project- a seaturtle. Marta got a crochet kit for a slice of pizza at Walmart and was able to finish 2 pieces with the yarn from the kit (with some heavy mods on the second one). Roc completed 2 hippo stuffies out of microfiber blanket yarn (free pattern from the Friendly Fox site). He finished a dinosaur he started during his last visit and the chicken he bought this year.

Kendra is fascinated at Sue's friend entourage of Newburyport couples -- there's an army of them that go out every night together!

What do you gotta say today?

In this episode of **The Industry Podcast**, we sit down with **Nicole White**, a bartender currently working at OPA, a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant in Waterville, Maine. Nicole traces her path through the hospitality industry — from her first job at Panera Bread and serving at Ruby Tuesday, to learning the craft behind the bar at The Speakeasy in Waterville, to becoming a full-time bartender in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Nicole's career eventually took her to San Diego, where she spent six years working at spots including Urban North Park (a New Haven-style pizza bar) and the now-closed Magic Dinner Theater in the Gaslamp Quarter, a speakeasy-style venue accessed through an escape room, known for elaborate, intentional cocktails like the smoked "Smoking Elephant" and a Manhattan served through a bullet-pierced glass. She also worked at a comedy club, giving her a unique window into hospitality under very different crowd dynamics. A pivotal early moment in her career was attending Gaz Regan's Cocktails in the Country in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, in 2016 — a four-day intensive she credits with shaping her approach to mindful, service-first bartending. The conversation also covers Nicole's deep involvement with **Camp Runamok** (Lush Life Production), where she's participated three times — first in the low-ABV Pathfinder cabin during her sobriety journey, then running the Suze-themed cabin, and most recently joining the beverage team, which included an R&D trip to the Monin facility in Nevada and a seven-day stretch making over 10,000 cocktails for 150 bartenders at camp. Nicole also discusses: - Moving back to Central Maine after her mother's stroke, and rebuilding her career and creative outlet from the ground up - Her certifications, including the ABCs of Canadian Whiskey and the Executive Bourbon Steward program through the Stave & Thief Society - Attending Behind the Barrel distillery experiences at Wilderness Trail and Wild Turkey - Her honest reflection on her relationship with alcohol and sobriety, and how that shaped the direction of her career - Her favorite bars and restaurants across Maine (Portland, Bangor, Rockport) and San Diego (North Park, Little Italy, Gaslamp) - Why she loves doing thoughtful riffs on classic cocktails as a way to make craft drinks approachable to guests ## Connect with Nicole White - Instagram / all platforms: @NicoleXTayl0r A big thank you to Jean-Marc Dykes of Imbiblia.

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 174 –  Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger stroll down Charles Street in Newburyport, Massachusetts, searching for a haunted schoolhouse. Back in 1870, the schoolhouse ghosts kept this building in the newspapers for years to come, drawing in the curious and the skeptical. Much was published on the details of this on-going haunting that rattled the students and the poor teacher.

Today we are delighted to share an episode from our colleagues on “The Ezra Klein Show,” originally published on March 31. Ezra interviewed author Michael Pollan, whose best-selling books include “The Omnivore's Dilemma,” “In Defense of Food,” and “How to Change Your Mind.” Pollan's latest book, “A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness,” came out earlier this year. It's an exploration of what consciousness is, and the book is — as our review put it — “highly pleasurable to read.” Mentioned in the episode: “The Descriptive Experience Sampling method” by Russell T. Hurlburt and Sarah A. Akhter “What Is It Like to Be a Bat?” by Thomas Nagel The Hidden Spring by Mark Solms Descartes' Error by Antonio Damasio “The Oxford Handbook of Spontaneous Thought” by Kalina Christoff and Kieran C.
