British football journalist Ben Lyttleton literally wrote the book on football penalties. As the author of 'Twelve Yards: The Art and Psychology of the Perfect Penalty' and 'Edge: What Business Can Learn From Football', Lyttleton is arguably the world's leading authority on the subject. His encyclopedia-like and passionate knowledge of both the game of football and the controversial penalty, make this one of the most entertaining podcasts we have done yet.

The UK Government is considering a major shake-up of social media regulation, including a ban on under-16s using major platforms and potential restrictions for older teenagers.But could these measures help tackle another growing concern: illegal gambling operators targeting young people online?In this episode of iGaming Daily, Charlie Horner is joined by SBC News Editor Ted Orme-Claye and SBC News Journalist Patrick Killen to discuss:

The numbers tell one story. The forces behind them tell a far more interesting one. In this mid-year edition of This Year Next Year, Kate Scott-Dawkins unpacks a forecast that has been significantly upgraded since December — not in spite of geopolitical turbulence, but in some ways because of it. From the AI investment cycle reshaping advertiser behaviour across every category, to a new advertising channel that could scale faster than anything the industry has ever seen, to the uncomfortable questions about what ad-funded platforms owe the people they serve — this is the episode that sets the agenda for the next 18 months.Key Topics DiscussedWhy global ad growth has been upgraded to 9% — and what it says about the structural resilience of the industry in a world of conflict, inflation, and fractured consumer confidenceThe Gold Rush analogy at the heart of the forecast — and why California is, once again, at the centre of it allGenerative Search: the brand new channel that could hit $100B by 2030, making it the fastest-scaling advertising format ever measuredWhy social media is now the single largest ad channel globally — and what threatens that dominance from 2027 onwardRetail media's quiet takeover: how commerce advertising overtook all of television in 2025, and what agentic commerce does to that equation nextThe streaming crossover: why 2026 is the year US streaming finally surpasses linear in national TV ad revenueOut-of-Home's unlikely staying power — and what it reveals about the limits of algorithmic mediaCourts, platforms, and product liability: how two landmark 2026 rulings could fundamentally reshape the economics of social mediaThe effervescence paradox — why people are retreating into AI-mediated solitude and simultaneously paying record prices to be in a crowdNew surfaces, no rulebook: the creative opportunity waiting in AR, autonomous vehicles, and ambient computingWhat the forty-niners got badly wrong — and what that means for the choices the advertising industry faces right now00:00 - Introduction and the Gold Rush analogy 02:00 - The upgraded forecast: headline numbers in context 06:00 - Three themes that frame everything else 10:00 - Where the money is moving: a channel by channel breakdown 18:00 - The bigger picture: political, economic, social, and technological forces 32:00 - Regional highlights 35:00 - Closing: Manifest Destiny and the future worth building

Google's new AI-powered Shopping ads can now decide which of your products wins the click — and it's optimizing for the user, not for your margin, your brand, or your strategy. This Gemini-built format writes its own product descriptions and may re-rank which product gets shown, beyond your bid. Mike Ryan and Chris dig into what that means for retailers who suddenly have less control over what gets pushed. Plus: ChatGPT is finally bringing Product Listing Ads (PLAs) to its results — a solid first step, or a Bing-style copycat play?The real story: "more relevant to the user" is not the same as "best for the retailer." As automated channels get more aggressive at matching products to searches, advertisers risk quietly losing control of which products actually get sold.In this episode:→ What Google's AI-powered Shopping ads actually are — a new format inside AI Max for Shopping, not an umbrella term → "Intelligent product identification": how Gemini may re-rank which product is shown, beyond the bid → The retailer's blind spot — Google optimizes for click-through rate; you optimize for the business → The coffee-machine problem: when the highest-converting product isn't the one you need to sell → Why the best Google Ads outcome isn't always the best business outcome → ChatGPT's PLAs: a solid, feed-based first step — or a Bing-style copycat play? → What OpenAI's $100B ad ambition means for what comes nextThe throughline: AI executes, but only you know what your business needs to achieve. The retailers who win are the ones who keep translating business goals — margin, brand priority, profitability — into the channel, instead of letting the platform decide.

The emotional side of ADHD and neurodivergence often shows up as shame, not behavior. Constant correction can quietly erode confidence and motivation. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, helps parents calm the brain and rebuild emotional resilience.Feeling like your child is constantly being corrected—and it's wearing them down? You're not alone. The emotional side of ADHD and neurodivergence often goes unseen, but it deeply impacts confidence, motivation, and behavior.In this episode, you'll learn how constant correction shapes your child's brain—and what actually helps.Why does my child with ADHD feel like they're always doing something wrong?When kids hear corrections all day—“sit still,” “focus,” “try harder”—it starts to shape how they see themselves.The brain builds identity through feedback. And when that feedback is mostly negative, kids begin to believe:“I'm the problem.”“I can't get it right.”“Why even try?”Over time, this becomes more than frustration—it turns into shame.Imagine your child forgetting homework again. You remind them (again), but what they hear is: “I always mess up.”Repeated correction creates a negative self-storyConfidence drops, even if effort is thereKids may shut down, act out, or avoid tasks entirelyThis is the hidden emotional weight of neurodivergence—and it matters more than you think.How does constant correction affect motivation and behavior in neurodivergent kids?Here's the truth: It's not bad behavior—it's a dysregulated brain trying to cope.When kids expect failure, something called learned helplessness kicks in. The brain says, “Why bother?”You might notice:Avoidance (they stop trying)Anxiety (fear of making mistakes)Defensiveness or backtalk (protecting themselves from more shame)This isn't laziness. It's protection.A parent might say, “My child just isn't motivated.” But underneath? That child is overwhelmed and trying to avoid feeling like they're failing again.Motivation drops when shame risesBehavior is a stress response—not defianceThe nervous system is stuck in survival modeThis is why we always say: Behavior is communication.You don't have to figure this out alone. Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit: How to Stay Calm When Your Child Pushes Your Buttons and Stop Oppositional Behaviors. Head to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and start your calm parenting journey today.Why do kids with ADHD get more negative feedback than others?Kids with ADHD and neurodivergence process attention, emotions, and tasks differently. That means:They forget more oftenThey interrupt more frequentlyThey struggle with task completionAnd because of that? They receive thousands more corrections than their peers—sometimes up to 20,000 more by adolescence.Let that sink in.Real-Life Example: One mom shared how dinner always turns into correction after correction. Her child interrupts—and suddenly the whole tone shifts.More differences = more correctionMore correction = more emotional impactStrengths (like hyperfocus) often get overlookedBut here's the reframe: Your child's brain isn't broken—it's different. And with support, those differences can become strengths.How can I stop the correction cycle and support my child better?This is where everything changes. Let's calm the brain first.The CALMS Protocol gives you a simple, powerful shift:C – Co-regulate first: Pause. Lower your voice. Connect before correcting.A – Avoid personalizing: It's not intentional—it's neurological.L – Look for root causes: Hunger? Overwhelm? Too much demand?M – Model coping: Show calm problem-solving in real time.S – Support and reinforce: Focus on effort, not just outcomes.Instead of “Stop doing that,” try: “Let's figure this out together.”Connection brings the thinking brain back onlineCuriosity replaces frustrationSmall wins rebuild confidenceIf you want to start calming your child's nervous system fast, check out Quick CALM—a parent-friendly tool that helps you regulate in the moment so your child can too.What message should I be sending my neurodivergent child?Your child doesn't need more correction—they need a new story.Instead of: “What's wrong with you?”Shift to: “Your brain works differently—and we'll figure this out together.”

WWE contracts, AAA expansion, AEW rumors, and a strange Backlash start time?Nick and Myron break down the growing discussion around TKO reportedly asking talent to restructure contracts — and why this could completely change the way future WWE negotiations work moving forward.The guys also preview the WWE Backlash card and ask the question a lot of fans are quietly wondering…Why is the show starting at 6PM?And does it signal something bigger about WWE's scheduling strategy?Then the conversation shifts toward AAA and WWE's long-term plans. Is the goal simply content… or is there a much bigger business play happening behind the scenes?On the AEW side, rumors continue swirling about their television situation, and Nick & Myron discuss whether there's real smoke there — or if people are overreacting again.Plus:What WWE contract restructuring could mean long termWWE Backlash preview and expectationsThe business strategy behind AAAAEW TV rumors and what happens nextThe ever-changing wrestling media landscapeAnd of course, another full Making the Drives segment covering this weekend's biggest Georgia indy wrestling shows, matches, and storylines.

Mortgage rates are under pressure again — and this time the trigger is bigger than just the Fed.In today's video, I break down why the mortgage market just got dangerous, how rising oil prices, Iran / Strait of Hormuz tensions, inflation fears, the 10-Year Treasury, and mortgage-backed securities are all working together to push rates higher.If you're buying a home, refinancing, or trying to decide whether to lock or float, this is the kind of market you need to understand before making a move.Today we cover:• Why mortgage rates are moving higher• What the MBS / mortgage bond chart is telling us• How oil prices impact inflation and mortgage rates• Why Iran and the Strait of Hormuz matter to U.S. homebuyers• What the 10-Year Treasury is signaling• Why strong corporate earnings may not automatically help rates• Whether today's market favors locking or floating• What homeowners and buyers should watch nextThe big takeaway: mortgage rates do not move just because of the Fed. They move because of the bond market — and right now the bond market is watching oil, inflation, war risk, economic data, and Treasury yields.If you are closing soon, this is not a lazy float market. If you are shopping for a home or considering a refinance, make sure you understand the numbers before you make a decision.

Most investors spend their energy asking the wrong question. It's not which fund is best -- it's which combination of funds gets you to your actual goal at a cost and complexity level you'll actually maintain. Joe and OG break down the full index investing playbook: where to start, when to add complexity, what Wall Street calls indexing that really isn't, and the one number that should change how you think about your entire portfolio.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy the real argument for index investing isn't that nobody beats the market -- it's that you can't predict who will do it nextThe crockpot principle of index investing -- and why the self-cleaning oven analogy might be even betterWhy the S&P 500 and the total stock market index are closer than most people think -- and which one Joe is increasingly favoring for the long runThe $100,000 turning point: what changes about your investment strategy when the portfolio gets big enough to get scientificThe first two additions most Stackers should consider beyond their core index -- and why OG would actually add more than twoWhy mixing index funds from different companies can quietly undermine your diversification without you ever knowing itHow to replace the word "index" with "list" to instantly identify whether a product is actually doing what you think it isThe buffered ETFs, factor ETFs, and active ETFs that call themselves indexes -- and why most Stackers should walk right past themWhy you're not racing against the index -- you're on a road trip -- and what that shift in framing changes about every investing decisionThe season one recap from OG and Anna's financial planning basics series -- plus the free workbook that ties all seven episodes togetherWhy This Matters NowIn your 40s, the portfolio is finally big enough to matter -- and that's exactly when the temptation to complicate things gets strongest. New products, new strategies, and new buzzwords show up constantly, each promising a smarter approach. The investors who come out ahead aren't the ones who found the best fund. They're the ones who built something simple enough to maintain, scientific enough to optimize, and sturdy enough to hold through the moments when everything feels like it's falling apart.From the BasementJoe and OG dig into the full index investing playbook -- from the first fund a beginner should buy to the asset class combinations that actually improve long-term outcomes once the portfolio gets big enough to warrant it. OG and Anna close out their seven-week financial planning basics series with a full recap and the surprise release of a free downloadable workbook at stackingbenjamins.com/basicsguide. Doug arrives with Nolan Ryan trivia that connects strikeout records to index investing in a way that only the basement could pull off.

Dating Is Broken: Social Media, Insecurity, and What's NextThe state of dating and relationships has never been more chaotic — and social media is the accelerant. John and Echo break down why influencer culture, looks-obsessed content creators, and chronically online young people are destroying any chance at real connection, and what's actually driving it all: deep, unaddressed insecurity.From the "captain of the ship" talk and why men shouldn't volunteer commitment first, to the Manosphere documentary, to the Clavicular phenomenon — this episode tackles how fake online lives are warping what young men and women think dating even is. John and Echo get into why parents are failing their kids by handing them social media without guardrails, why money multiplies whatever's already broken in you, and why the void that influencers keep chasing can never actually be filled.In This EpisodeWomen are gatekeepers of sex; men are gatekeepers of commitment — you can't lead the "captain of the ship" talk without leverageYou must already BE the captain before she ever asks "what are we?" — it's a clarification, not a surprise announcementInfluencers like Clavicular aren't proof that looks are everything — women respond to fame and environment, not just his faceThe insecurity epidemic is now hitting men the way magazines hit women in the 90s — and it's getting worseMoney is a multiplier: it makes good people better and broken people more brokenSocial media has turned from "be yourself with friends" into spectacle, celebrity, and curated liesParents handing kids unrestricted social media without conversations are setting them up to chase validation foreverThe void never gets filled — self-respect, confidence, and loving yourself is the only real answerTimestamps0:00 — The Crisis of Looks-Obsessed Dating Culture2:43 — Listener Question: Who Should Initiate the Relationship Talk?4:58 — Why Men Must Be Gatekeepers of Commitment8:02 — What Being a Good Captain Actually Looks Like13:13 — Setting Relationship Rules Before Committing17:07 — Most Men Aren't Ready to Be Captain20:35 — How Clavicular Is Blackpilling a Generation26:27 — Social Media Is Destroying Kids and Dating31:40 — The Insecurity-to-Plastic Surgery Pipeline for Men43:14 — AI, the Death of Authenticity & What Comes Next55:59 — The Void That Fame and Money Can Never FillConnect

From Casino Dealer to iGaming Exit: What Hustle Actually Looks LikeYou've heard people credit their success to luck. Karolina Pelc doesn't buy it. The founder of BeyondPlay, who built and sold her gaming software startup to FanDuel in 2024, traces every "fortunate" moment back to a decision, a risk, or a leap taken before she felt ready. In this episode, she joins Lee-Ann to talk about building a business in a male-dominated industry, the lessons that only come from failing, and her new book Her Play, which challenges the narrative that success is something that happens to you.About Karolina PelcKarolina Pelc has spent over 20 years in gaming, starting as a casino dealer in Poland before working at London's most prestigious clubs and spending three years on cruise ships. She moved into online gaming as it was emerging, held roles across marketing, product, and business management, and was part of the LeoVegas team during its most exciting growth phase. She went on to found BeyondPlay, a software-as-a-service company specialising in multiplayer and jackpot products, which was acquired by FanDuel in February 2024. She now mentors early-stage founders and has channelled her journey into her debut book, Her Play, which publishes on 9 June in the UK & Europe and on 8th September in the USA & Canada.Talking Points Include:Why luck is a byproduct of motion, not a personality trait — the phrase at the heart of Her Play, and why Karolina developed it in response to a question she kept getting asked after the saleWhat a cruise ship taught her about multiplayer gaming — and why the product idea she eventually built and sold wasn't random at allThe three moments she knew she had outgrown the room — from leaving a cruise ship job without a plan, to founding a startup in a 43-square-metre apartment during COVID lockdownHow failure compounds into advantage — why the jackpot product that got BeyondPlay acquired only existed because the original product wasn't getting traction fast enoughBuilding confidence in a male-dominated industry — Karolina's honest take on gender dynamics in gaming and the startup investment world, and why she sees her experience as a superpower rather than a disadvantageListen to Find Out More About:What Karolina actually took away from her two visits to Necker Island, and how the experience shaped the book and her decision to mentor foundersHow she navigated the identity crisis that came after selling BeyondPlay, and what helped her work out what she wanted to do nextThe specific moment during COVID that convinced her to found the company rather than take a permanent job, despite every rational signal pointing the other wayWhy she believes your past experience is never a liability, and how that thinking connects directly to what affiliate managers do every dayThe five key takeaways Lee-Ann pulls from the conversation — including a fifth one Karolina adds herself, live on micKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[01:38] Karolina's introduction and the story behind HerPlay — from land-based casino dealer to iGaming exec to founder[05:37] "Luck is a byproduct of motion" — where the phrase came from and what it actually means in practice[18:15] The three defining leaps in Karolina's career, and what finally made her take each one[25:00] Necker Island, Richard Branson, and the full-circle moment that launched the book[32:00] Lee-Ann's four-point summary — and Karolina's fifth, which might be the best of allSend me a text with your questions

It's 3 AM. Your eyes are open. The ceiling is staring back at you. And your mind is running a marathon you never signed up for.In Episode 7 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we unpack Philippians 4:6-7 - but not the way you've heard it before. Paul wrote these words from a Roman prison cell, chained up, future uncertain, death a real possibility. This isn't naive optimism. This is battle-tested faith.We'll walk through the four steps hidden in verse 6 - recognize it, redirect it, reframe it, receive it - and talk about why anxiety hits hardest at night, what the Greek military word "phroureo" reveals about how God's peace actually works, and three practical things you can do the next time you're lying awake at 3 AM with a mind that won't stop.If you've ever fought the 3 AM battle, this episode is your new weapon.

What does latency really mean? What is instant confirmation in practical terms? And when these pieces come together, how different does Tezos feel?

In Episode 2 of Seeing Tarot, artist Anna Rose Stabler and tarot reader Gina Wisotzky continue their card-by-card exploration of the tarot, beginning in the Minor Arcana and moving slowly through the suits.Rather than defining cards through fixed meanings, this podcast explores what happens when you live with their energy over time: through art-making, daily life, season, and conversation.This month's focus: The Ace of WandsIn this episode, Anna and Gina discuss:The negative space of the Ace of Wands and the fear of open skyFire as both creative impulse and destructive forceThe pressure and impatience that can accompany new beginningsHow snow, illness, and disrupted schedules mirrored Wand energy in real lifeMoving from inspiration (Wands) to intention and structure (Swords)The sword as a forged tool: shaping energy, setting parameters, making decisionsGardening and seasonal planning as embodied Swords practiceSensory correspondences: cold green scents, ginger, roots, foliageThe relational nature of tarot and how one card evolves into the nextThe conversation lingers on initiation not as pure excitement, but as something expansive and at times overwhelming. The Ace of Wands brings spark and desire along with exposure and intensity. The Ace of Swords follows as response: discernment, clarity, and the deliberate shaping of energy into form.Over time, Seeing Tarot walks through the tarot by creating and exploring images together, allowing meaning to emerge through relationship and emerging correspondences rather than memorization.References & InfluencesSeventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel PollackTwin Peaks by David LynchScents & Sensory CorrespondencesAce of WandsFragranceAura by Thierry MuglerGreen and Amazingreen by Comme des GarçonsNatural MaterialFresh ginger rootGinger tea with honeyLush green foliageMineral and concrete accordsEnvironmentCold green airDandelion growing through concreteExpansive open skyAbout the HostsGina WisotzkyThe founder of Incandescent Tarot, Gina has been reading and practicing tarot and the intuitve arts for over two decades.

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the biggest fan theory attached to the four Avengers: Doomsday teaser drops: the “glitched timecode” numbers at the end of each teaser might be pointing to specific Avengers: Endgame time heist moments. We walk through how fans are lining those timestamps up with scenes tied to the Infinity Stones, why the Russo brothers calling Doomsday a direct follow-up to Endgame makes this theory feel plausible, and how all of it connects to incursions, Secret Wars, and Jonathan Hickman's Time Runs Out. We also touch on the idea that even if the codes are a stretch, the themes across the teasers (home, loss, and what gets left behind) might be the real clue.00:00 Intro: the biggest Doomsday theory so far and why the teaser “glitches” matter00:15 The core claim: the codes line up with Endgame time heist scenes tied to Infinity Stones00:24 Why this theory has traction: direct sequel talk, incursions, and the road to Secret Wars00:37 Timestamp #1: The Ancient One and Hulk, the Time Stone, and the “it'll be fine” assumption00:53 Timestamp #2: Avengers Tower, Loki chaos, and the Mind Stone plus Space Stone connection01:07 Timestamp #3: Thor and Rocket in Asgard, planning the Reality Stone grab01:10 Timestamp #4: Rocket and Ant-Man, space talk, and the Soul Stone discussion timing01:22 Bigger read: recurring themes of home, loss, and what's left standing after it's gone01:36 Comic corner: starting Hickman's Time Runs Out and why it matters for Secret Wars01:47 Why theories hit so hard: the fun of clue hunting and community pattern spotting02:00 Wrap-up: what listeners are seeing and what to watch for nextThe leading theory says the teaser timecode glitches can be mapped to Endgame time heist scenes that reference the Infinity Stones.The Endgame connection feels stronger because Doomsday is being framed as a story that depends on what happened there, not just a vague sequel.Incursions and multiverse collapse ideas make the “small choices turn into big consequences” angle feel very Marvel right now.Even if the codes do not hold up, the broader theme work across the teasers might be the more intentional thread.The fun factor is real: this is the kind of shared “clue board” energy fandom loves when Marvel marketing leans into it.“Let's talk about the biggest doomsday theory we got so far.”“A lot of us are out here to try to find patterns.”“I love this stuff. Man, this is so much fun.”If you enjoyed this breakdown, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines, leave a quick rating and review, and share this episode with #GeekFreaksHeadlines so more Marvel fans can jump into the theory talk.GeekFreaksPodcast.com (source of all news discussed on Geek Freaks Headlines)Instagram: @geekfreakspodcastTwitter: @geekfreakspodThreads: @geekfreakspodcastFacebook: Geek Freaks PodcastPatreon: Geek Freaks PodcastWhat's your read on the Doomsday codes: smart breadcrumb trail, pure coincidence, or intentional vibes without a literal answer?

Episode SummaryMarvel Studios dropped the latest Avengers: Doomsday teaser, and this one puts Shuri, M'Baku, Namor, and Ben Grimm (The Thing) in the same conversation fast. Frank breaks down the desert setting, the “preparing for war” energy, and why Shuri's vibe feels like a turning point for Wakanda going into the next big MCU conflict. He also digs into the fun contrast between M'Baku's kingly intro and Ben Grimm's straight-up New York response, then connects the crossover to comic history. To top it off, Frank reacts to a Russo brothers post that frames these releases as “stories” and “clues,” and shares how he's been rewatching the teasers to see what Marvel's hiding in plain sight.00:00 The Avengers: Doomsday teaser is out and who's featured00:18 Desert setting and “preparing for war” vibes00:33 Namor and Talokan in a dry environment and what that could look like00:41 Wakanda and Fantastic Four connections in Marvel Comics history00:57 Russo brothers quote: these are “stories” and “clues”01:09 Rewatching teasers for hidden details01:16 Geek Fix episode note: Marvel's leak-and-release marketing strategy01:22 Wrap-up and what Frank wants listeners to spot nextThe teaser leans more on mood than plot, with a clear “war is coming” tone.Shuri's narration and presence signal a tougher, more resolute Black Panther era.The M'Baku and Ben Grimm moment works because it's all personality and contrast.Namor's return raises practical questions about how Talokan operates outside the ocean.Marvel may be treating these teaser drops like a puzzle trail, not standard trailers.The Russo brothers framing suggests fans should watch for small details across all teasers.“Shuri definitely gives off the vibes like she's done losing.”“They are stories.

What happens when the world's most ambitious climate state runs head-on into a hostile federal government? Can California still lead the clean-energy transition while battling rising costs, wildfires and the Trump government's sweeping tariffs? And what does a “pragmatic reset” on climate policy look like when the stakes have never been higher?This week on Cleaning Up Bryony Worthington sits down with Liane Randolph, former Chair of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and longtime public servant, shaping California's climate, energy, and air-quality strategy. Across roles spanning the Public Utilities Commission and state natural resources agencies, Randolph has been at the center of some of the most consequential policy decisions in the United States — from the rise of rooftop solar and utility-scale storage to the creation of zero-emission vehicle mandates and the state's pioneering cap-and-invest system.Together, they unpack how California built the modern EV market, the origins of the famous “duck curve,” and why central planning turned out to be critical for keeping the lights on in a decarbonizing grid. Randolph also details the extraordinary federal pushback now facing the state: repealed Clean Air Act waivers, legal battles over truck and car standards, and tariff-driven supply-chain shocks that threaten progress.The episode explores:The past and future of California's zero-emission vehicle strategy — from catalytic converters to the birth of TeslaWhy batteries exploded onto the grid, and how wildfire adaptation is reshaping costsThe mechanics and impacts of California's whole-economy cap-and-invest programThe new affordability crisis — and whether a pragmatic climate “reset” is neededElectric aviation, high-speed rail, and the technologies California should bet on nextThe state's 2045 net-zero planning — and which sectors will need breakthroughs like DAC and industrial CCSLeadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

Could a pandemic business-plan lesson for a bored kid spark the next breakout fast-casual brand?This episode moves fast — because Rob Gresham's career has never slowed down. Chris Ressa sits with the restaurant veteran who went from washing dishes at 15 to helping architect the early operational engine behind CAVA's meteoric growth from zero to 80 stores.Rob shares the wild ride: running a steakhouse kitchen as a teenager, getting recruited by Chipotle to fix troubled locations, learning the business side under industry giants, and joining CAVA before it was a household name — building systems, opening markets, and helping scale a brand that eventually went public.Then the pandemic hit. Consulting work vanished. His son was bored. So Rob turned a homeschool project into something much bigger: a business plan for a scratch-made, allergen-conscious chicken concept. When it came time to name it, Rob's son delivered the winner: Isaac's — inspired by Isaac Newton, who invented calculus and discovered gravity while quarantined during the plague. “He changed the world in quarantine,” his son said. “You created a restaurant. Name it Isaac's.”Today, Isaac's Poultry Market has two booming locations, a cult following, and the DNA of a future fast-casual standout. Rob's story is momentum, grit, and timing — the kind Retail Retold was made for.What You'll Hear:How Rob went from washing dishes at 15 to helping scale CAVA into an 80-unit national powerhouseThe pivotal career moves — and mentors — that shaped his operator mindsetWhy he left CAVA at its peak and walked straight into entrepreneurshipThe pandemic moment that sparked Isaac's Poultry Market (and how his son named it)What it really takes to open a restaurant during supply-chain chaos and skyrocketing construction costsHow Rob chose his first two locations — and the real-world negotiation battles behind themWhy exclusives matter, how fast-casual operators think about competition, and the markets he's targeting nextThe scratch-made, allergen-friendly philosophy behind Isaac's menuAnd the big question: Is Isaac's positioned to become the next major fast-casual brand?Chapters00:00 — From Dish Pit to DriveHow a 15-year-old dishwasher discovered his path — and his ambition — in the restaurant world.02:00 — Learning the Business Beyond the KitchenThe mentors and moments that pushed Rob from chef to full-scale operator.04:45 — Chipotle, CAVA, and Fixing What's BrokenRob's early role in stabilizing stores and helping build CAVA's operational backbone from day zero.06:30 — Building a Rocketship BrandCross-country construction sprints, tiny founding teams, and opening stores at breakneck speed.09:00 — The Decision to Walk AwayWhy Rob left CAVA at its peak and refused to transition into an office role.13:00 — Pandemic Curveball → Entrepreneurial BreakthroughHow a business-plan lesson with his son turned into the foundation for Isaac's Poultry Market.14:00 — Naming Isaac's: A Quarantine Stroke of GeniusThe Isaac Newton inspiration that became a bold, meaningful brand name.17:00 — Building Location #1 in a Broken Supply ChainConstruction chaos, blown budgets, and the reality of opening a restaurant during COVID.22:00 — The Battle for Location #2Inside the seven-month negotiation to secure exclusives and protect the emerging brand.29:00 — The Future of Isaac's Poultry MarketHow Rob is approaching growth, second-gen spaces, and...

In this episode, I sit down with mortgage industry veteran and coach Carrie Guarrero to trace a three-decade career built on service, community, and relentless growth. Carrie shares how an 11-year-old's flyer route in her mom's mortgage office became a billion-dollar origination career—and why the trophies eventually mattered less than the names and stories behind each loan. She opens up about a career “pause” that didn't go as planned, the humbling return that led her to Fairway, and how that detour became the on-ramp to launching Fairway Ignite, an internal coaching organization now serving 600+ teammates with 80 coaches.We also get into how Carrie is building a multigenerational legacy; handing portions of her book of business to her daughter and longtime partner, and what “effective coaching” really looks like inside a high-performance culture: individualized matches, data-driven accountability, and an always-on community. Beyond business, Carrie reflects on being an Army mom (and former Army spouse), holding pride and fear at the same time, and the leadership lessons that come from service, ambiguity, and letting go. She previews her forthcoming guided journal Discovering WISE: Women in Search of Excellence—a 52-week journey designed to help women define success on their own terms—and shares the daily non-negotiables that keep her grounded in faith, family, gratitude, sweat, and stillness.Discussion Highlights:How a “failed” pivot can become the exact path you need nextThe core ingredients of coaching that actually moves numbers (and people)Why legacy leadership means empowering others, even before you feel ready to let goNavigating male-dominated rooms without dimming your light or your voiceThe power of holding two truths (proud and scared) and leading through uncertaintyA simple morning framework: gratitude, sweat, and reflective thinkingLinks & Mentions:Connect with Carrie Guarrero:  Instagram • LinkedIn Book: Discovering WISE: Women in Search of Excellence — 52-week guided journey - grab your copy here!If this conversation resonates, I'd love for you to subscribe, rate, and share.

Takashi Yamazaki is back to write, direct, and lead VFX, along with key Minus One team members. The Minus One crew's results on a modest budget remain a model big studios should study.

It's going to be called Godzilla -0.” “Takashi is coming back to write, direct.

Kelsi Sheren survived war — but what she experienced after coming home was far darker.In this episode, Kelsi exposes the horrifying reality of Canada's MAiD program: a system offering euthanasia not just to veterans, but to the disabled, the mentally ill, those battling depression, and — in proposed expansions — even minors. Instead of offering treatment, care, or hope, the government is quietly offering death.She explains how a program that was “only for the terminally ill” rapidly expanded into a system that targets vulnerable people… and why similar policies are now being discussed in the United States.We also break down:What war is actually like: the trauma, the guilt, the invisible woundsWhy veterans are being offered euthanasia instead of healthcareHow disabled citizens and the depressed became eligibleHow minors could be nextThe financial and political incentives to choose death over treatmentPsychedelic therapy and breakthrough treatments that actually heal PTSD and brain injuryThis isn't just a Canadian problem.This is a warning.If the public stays silent, this will spread — and it's already being proposed in America.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This minisode is straight from my heart and from one of the clearest downloads I ever received in my recovery journey: You are ready when you say you are.I had spent so much of my life waiting. Waiting for the right time. Waiting for permission. Waiting until I felt perfect or prepared enough. But the truth is, readiness doesn't come from the outside. It is an inside job. And when you decide, things start to shift.In this episode, I share how this mantra carried me through moments of doubt, through perfectionism, and through the messy reality of showing up anyway. From preparing for my TEDx talk to facing unexpected detours, I've learned that it's not about everything going smoothly. It's about deciding that this moment, right here, is enough.What you'll hear in this episode:Why no one else gets to decide when you are readyThe mantra that changed everything for me in recoveryHow letting go and forgiving opens space for what's nextThe reminder to be gentle with yourself when you feel unpreparedWhy your next chapter begins the moment you say it doesYour Challenge: Take a few quiet minutes this week to practice saying out loud: I am ready. Say it in the car, in the mirror, or into your phone and notice how your body feels when you claim it. Then ask yourself: What is one small thing I'm ready for today? It doesn't have to be big. Just take one step and see how the universe responds.Connect with me in the following ways:www.theadventureparadox.comhttps://www.facebook.com/catcaldwellmyershttps://www.instagram.com/theadventureparadox/ Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

In this deeply moving and powerful episode, Amy sits down with Nicole Fitch, a yoga therapist-in-training and future occupational therapist from Brisbane, Australia. Nicole shares her inspiring story of transformation—from losing her father in a tragic accident at age 15, through years of shutdown, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, to a life of purpose, connection, and embodied healing.Nicole's story is not just one of overcoming trauma—it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the healing power of integrative practices. We explore how her early experiences shaped her nervous system, her years of navigating mental health systems, and how yoga became her refuge, offering her hope, empowerment, and the tools to reclaim joy.From teaching yoga in community centers and mental health hospitals to stepping away from teaching to focus on self-care and finishing her degree in occupational therapy, Nicole's journey is a rich example of conscious healing, radical self-compassion, and the winding, non-linear path to wholeness. Topics Covered:The moment that changed her life: a tragic loss at age 15Trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and dorsal vagal shutdownThe dark period of numbing, partying, and intrusive thoughtsOCD diagnosis and navigating the biomedical mental health systemThe turning point: a dream, a move to Queensland, and discovering yogaThe power of japa, prāṇāyāma, and meditation in finding peaceYoga as a tool and a potential bypass—why integration mattersTeaching yoga in non-traditional spaces and building communityBalancing being a mother and maintaining a personal identityWhy she's taking a pause—and how she's preparing for what's nextThe connection between OT and Yoga Therapy in mental health care Key Takeaway Quote from Nicole:"You can't rush your healing. Even if you are in complete darkness, there's always that glimmer of light through the clouds." Connect with Nicole: Nicole's offerings are currently on pause while she finishes her Occupational Therapy degree, but you can follow her journey and future updates via  Embodied Wisdom Therapies-https://www.embodiedwisdomtherapies.com.au/
