For many of us, faith was handed to us as certainty: right beliefs, right answers, and a God who could be clearly defined, defended and explained. But what happens when certainty begins to fall away? In this conversation, Carmen Acevedo Butcher returns to Nomad to explore The Cloud of Unknowing, the anonymous medieval text that insists God “can be loved but not thought.”Together we ask what it might mean to find a firmer foundation in mystery than in control. Carmen reflects on contemplation as a way of knowing love, befriending our restless minds, loosening our grip on language, and learning to live with greater kindness, humility and courage in an anxious age. Along the way, she helps us see that unknowing need not be a failure of faith, but perhaps one of love's deepest invitations.After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Anna wonder what it means to stand on the “firm foundation of mystery” rather than certainty, and why that can feel both unsettling and deeply nourishing. They also explore Lectio Divina as a practice of looking again — at scripture, poetry, relationships, politics, and the parts of reality we're tempted to skim past.Interview starts at 14m 40sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

In this episode, Roy sits down with Mike Swigunski, entrepreneur, investor, and #1 bestselling author on a mission to help millions of people Earn From Anywhere. Mike traces his path from a small Missouri suburb where he didn't take his first flight until 18, through running a university study-abroad program at 20, to a devastating turning point at 22 — losing his mother to breast cancer just a month before graduation — that pushed him to book a one-way flight to Europe rather than take a safe corporate job. He shares how he became employee #4 at Empire Flippers, helping scale it into a 100-person remote team and the world's largest curated marketplace for online businesses, and the "POWER" framework he built from watching thousands of acquisitions to identify what actually makes a business valuable. They dig into the platform risks of Amazon FBA and affiliate businesses, the coming shift toward advertising inside AI chat tools, the real craft behind his TEDx talk and the hero's journey structure behind it, his NOMAD framework for choosing where to live abroad, and his new venture, Dividends — a platform letting everyday investors put as little as $100 into fractional ownership of cash-flowing online businesses.

Episode 190 features Erin Kilpatrick sharing how she has built a fully nomadic lifestyle around points, miles, and travel. After selling her home, car, and belongings and moving to Ecuador in 2023, Erin has spent the past several years living one to three months at a time in different countries. Award travel is a major part of making that lifestyle possible, covering roughly 80% of her flights and 30% of her lodging, while she also maximizes credit-card offers, shopping portals, credits, and other opportunities. The episode also covers current points-and-miles news, including changes to the Chase Aeroplan card, Hyatt ending its American Airlines partnership and adding Delta, and elevated Hilton card welcome offers with free-night certificates.A major focus is Erin's strategy for buying hotel points. She emphasizes that this is not a beginner strategy and should only be used when the math clearly works for a specific redemption. Using a Melbourne Choice Hotels stay as an example, she bought points at 0.57 cents each, reducing a $165 cash rate to about $85.50 in points. She also discusses buying points during unusually low-priced sales, while acknowledging the risks of devaluations and poor redemption values. Erin highlights several under-the-radar destinations she enjoyed, including Penrith in England, Alicante in Spain, and Sofia, Bulgaria.The episode also takes a nuanced look at AI in travel planning. Erin avoids using AI for tasks where established tools are more reliable, such as award searches, points tracking, exact transportation schedules, and precise directions. Instead, she sees AI as a brainstorming partner for building itineraries, researching neighborhoods and transportation options, troubleshooting, and visualizing complicated travel plans. The episode wraps up with advice on renting a car in Ireland, emphasizing the importance of reading rental and credit-card insurance policies carefully, confirming coverage, and obtaining the proper documentation before arriving at the rental counter.Episode Links:Delta/Hyatt partnershipAeroplan card refreshHilton Business card- New offerWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our April 2027 Meetup in Nashville now. award.travel/bna2027Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

This is where it all began. Joe and his son Jack walk through two of their bucks they've taken this year in the South Carolina river swamp. And Joe finally sits down to tell the story of the river swamp buck "The Nomad" that he's been after for five years. If you don't know The Nomad's story: For five years, The Nomad was nothing more than a ghost on a trail camera. He only existed in pictures. Joe has watched him grow, studied his patterns, and chased the mystery of a buck he had never actually laid eyes on. Until a few weeks ago. The hardest hunt Joe has ever faced, finally come to an end. Five years of history came down to one hunt, one opportunity, and one final encounter with the buck that had become an obsession, not only for Joe, but for everyone who knew his story. It's a hell of a story. Check it out. #MissionWhitetail #MissionWhitetailPodcast #HuntingPodcast #SouthCarolinaHunting #SouthCarolinaWhitetail #SouthCarolinaDeer #DeerHunting #DeerSeason #WhitetailDeer #WhitetailHunting

# Football Brothers: Travis Kelce's Season Opener Hype & Taylor Swift Date Night + Jason Kelce's ESPN Debut **This week on Football Brothers**, host Marvelous Marty Sinclair breaks down the biggest Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce headlines from the past seven days as the NFL season kicks into gear. ## Episode Highlights:
Pádraig Ó Tuama returns to Nomad for a conversation about the stories we inherit, the desires we're taught to mistrust, and what happens when religious language gets tangled up with shame. We talk about scripture, poetry, anger, masculinity, friendship and the strange ways God can remain present even after religion has caused harm.Along the way, Pádraig reflects on exorcisms and reparative therapy, the body's capacity to know before the mind catches up, and why anger can become a creative energy rather than something to fear. We also explore what it means to become “almost new” — not through a neat story of healing, but through friendship, attention, prayer, birds, and the slow work of learning how to live differently.After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Anna pick up some of the threads Pádraig left dangling: what do we do with anger once it stops being something to fear, why can faith remain strangely compelling even after it has caused harm, and what might our images of God reveal about us?Interview starts at 12m 22sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Blake Danner has spent his career inside the rooms where lifestyle hospitality was invented. Eleven years alongside Ian Schrager opening the Clift, Sanderson, and Shore Club. Seven years as founding COO of the Sydell Group, where he helped create Nomad, The Line, and Freehand — 11 hotels in seven years. A stint running operations at Proper Hospitality. And now, as COO of AKA Hotels & Hotel Residences, he's running a 16-property luxury serviced residence portfolio where the entry-level monthly rate starts at $30K and the loyalty program charges $750 just to join. This week, Blake makes the case that the mid-size independent operator isn't just surviving — it's winning. He explains why he's "completely unhireable" by big brands, what he learned from Schrager about staying culturally voracious, and the Andrew Zobler lesson he still carries: never sacrifice brand DNA, no matter how big the check. He tells the Delano pool story — suits outnumbering swimsuits — and why the Nomad once turned down a million-dollar group that wanted a banner over the front desk. Then the crew digs into Skift's latest loyalty data showing credit cards and banks now outrank hotels as the most rewarding loyalty programs in the eyes of travelers. Blake's response: boo hoo. If your product is good enough, people will skip the points. The conversation turns to Neil Jacobs' new operating company backed by Constellation Hotels — his pitch for a "third way" between global management scale and solo passion projects. Blake co-signs the thesis and adds: AKA doesn't want 50 properties, and that restraint is the whole point.

Join us as Cobus Bernard takes us on a live tour of his sprawling homelab - and explains why Claude wrote most of the Terraform and Ansible running it. Cobus walks through a Proxmox setup running Traefik, Vault, Nomad, Keycloak, and a three-node Kubernetes cluster that doesn't quite work yet, all built by handing infrastructure-as-code tasks to Claude and slowly deciding how much of it to trust with real commands. You will learn how Cobus structures Terraform state and variables so an AI agent can safely extend it, why he still won't let Claude run terraform apply unsupervised, how MCP servers control what an agent is allowed to touch, and why confabulation might be a better word than hallucination for what these models actually do.

Meet with Urmi,an Italian with Bengali roots who grew up in Italy, spent time in the UK, and has now been living in Montreal, Canada for the past decade.Urmi is a Third Culture Kid, and her story is one of navigating different identities. Growing up with Bengali parents in Italy, she experienced a “dual life”: one version of herself at school and another at home. She shares the challenges of feeling both Italian and not quite Italian, while also feeling different within her Bengali community.We follow her journey from Sicily to Northern Italy, then to the UK as a teenager, before she eventually made the move to Canada — this time entirely by her own choice.Montreal turned out to be a surprising fit. Urmi talks about discovering a city that is deeply multicultural and bilingual, where she now works in French despite having studied in English. She also shares the little things that help her recreate a feeling of home.We also dive into working in Canada, including some important advice for anyone hoping to build a career in Montreal. Urmi explains why networking, LinkedIn, professional references and mentorship can be particularly important in the Canadian job market — and why being able to work in both French and English can make a major difference in Quebec.And as a TCK, does she see Montreal as her final home? Not necessarily. We talk about the idea that once you've grown up moving, you may always keep the door open to another country, another opportunity and another adventure.In this episode, we talk about:Growing up Italian with Bengali parentsThe challenges of having a dual cultural identityLife as a Third Culture KidMoving from Italy to the UK as a teenagerDiscovering multicultural MontrealFinding a job in Canada as an expatFinding pieces of Italy in MontrealWhy TCKs may always feel ready for another move

An African safari doesn't have to mean a traffic jam. On this episode of Unpacked, host Aislyn Greene travels to Tanzania's southern circuit—visiting two parks most first-time safari-ers never consider—and discovers what happens when you trade the famous Great Migration crossing for a dry riverbed with not another human being in sight. To get there, she consulted Elizabeth Gordon, co-founder of Extraordinary Journeys, who helped reframe what an African safari could be. What followed was eight days in Ruaha National Park and Nyerere National Park: a walking safari with a guide who reads the wind with a pouch of ash, a river full of hippos and crocodiles that Aislyn took to calling "danger soup," and a fly camp on a lake where a ranger stayed up all night speaking hippo so she didn't have to. Come back next week for a bonus episode about what happens when a lion leaves the park—and meets a herd of cattle. THIS WEEK'S GUESTS Elizabeth Gordon is the co-founder of Extraordinary Journeys, a bespoke travel company designing African safari itineraries—and trips throughout South America and Asia—for travelers who want more than the standard route. Born in Kenya to a mother who joined the Peace Corps, earned her pilot's license, and built a house on a game park outside Nairobi, Elizabeth grew up between Kenya and France, studied in Beijing, and managed safari camps in Namibia before launching the company with her mother. Pay Mbaryo is a walking guide and naturalist with Nomad Tanzania in Ruaha National Park. A farmer's son who grew up in the Gorongosa district, he has spent 15 years in the bush and navigates unmarked wilderness using what he calls a natural GPS. In a decade of guiding, he has never once had to use his rifle. Gerald is a guide with Nomad Tanzania in Nyerere National Park, in his fourth year on the Rufiji River. He can identify a hippo's path out of the water by sight and smell—and he was the one who handed Aislyn a hippo skull to explain exactly why you don't want to be in that path. IN THIS EPISODE Why Tanzania's Southern Circuit—specifically Ruaha National Park and Nyerere National Park—offers a better African safari experience for first-time visitors than the Great Migration crossing: fewer people, better guides, and wildlife that doesn't know you're there What a walking safari in Ruaha actually feels like: reading the wind with a pouch of ash, approaching a mother elephant and her calf without being detected, learning to make a toothbrush from a tree, and discovering the Small Five How Pay spent 15 years learning that birds, buffalo, and elephants are all sharing information with one another—and why walking safari means becoming part of that conversation rather than watching it from a Jeep The Rufiji River at Nyerere: a wide, curving expanse of "danger soup"—filled with hippos and crocodiles—and what an afternoon on the water teaches you about the elephant as a keystone species What fly camping looks like when Nomad's team digs a bathroom into the sand, rigs a hot shower, serves gin and tonics under the stars, and a ranger stays up all night so you can fall asleep to the sound of the hippo brass band CHAPTER MARKERS 00:00:00 Introduction: African Safari, But Different 00:04:00 Why the Southern Circuit 00:08:00 Arriving in Ruaha 00:12:00 Walking Safari With Pay 00:20:00 The Small Five and the Keystone Species 00:26:00 Nyerere and the Rufiji River 00:33:00 Danger Soup: Life on the Water 00:38:00 Fly Camping With Hippos LINKS & RESOURCES Extraordinary Journeys Nomad Tanzania Nomad Kigelia Camp, Ruaha Nomad Sand Rivers Camp, Nyerere Ruaha National Park, Tanzania Nyerere National Park, Tanzania View From Afar—Great Migration episode Stay connected Be sure to subscribe to the show and sign up for our podcast newsletter, Behind the Mic, where we share upcoming news and behind-the-scenes details of each episode.

This week on Oil & Whiskey, we're joined by Kenny Davis of Kenny Davis Hot Rods.Kenny has been around the Roadster Shop crew for a long time, long enough to remember picking up some of the first RS chassis back around 2008/2009, including the one still under his dad's '55 Nomad.We get into Kenny's history with Tri-Fives, growing up around his dad's cars, road-tripping Nomads and '55s all over the country, and why those cars still have such a hold on him.The guys also talk about the evolution of Roadster Shop chassis, Kenny's current builds, Suburban and Blazer projects, the collision side of the business, hot rod shop realities, customers, craftsmanship, and how much the industry has changed over the years.And because it's Kenny, there are plenty of stories: the coma, the steamroller, body shop conferences, Arkansas vs. Yankees, Kenny Davis jeans, American Graffiti, Ferrari 308 dreams, music comparisons, and a whole lot of ball-busting between old friends.
Hotel sales in the US are up 28% in the first half of 2026 — and a meaningful chunk of that activity is chasing bad Yelp reviews, not trophy assets. JMI Realty founder Drew Bridges joins the show to break down how his firm is using AI to source acquisition targets off terrible guest feedback. The specific deal: a Hilton Garden Inn in Austin bought for $100K per key that reviewers called "janky" and "a complete nightmare." Drew walks through the renovation math, why he's keeping the brand, and why only 184 of 789 US submarkets have outpaced CPI since 2019 — a stat that underpins his thesis that a massive basis reset is underway across the industry. Then the crew digs into Rafat Ali's latest column arguing that independent boutique brands have effectively become the outsourced R&D labs of the global flags. Graduate, Nomad, Standard International, Ace, CitizenM — all absorbed in the last two years. Edwin pushes back: maybe the right size for a great independent brand is just smaller than anyone wants to admit. Scott says 95% of what the public hotel companies do is shareholder theater. Ben says the Edition model — bring in a founder, protect the brand — is the playbook nobody's replicated. Spice of the week: Scott on Google's move toward agentic hotel booking and what it means for distribution. Zach on United's cinematic route reveal and the coming shift from performance marketing to storytelling. Ben on why the real risk isn't a failed bet — it's doing nothing in an industry full of dinosaurs. About the Guest: Drew Bridges Drew Bridges joined JMI Realty in 2011 as a Financial Analyst, where he underwrote new development, acquisition, and financing opportunities. Today he leads Investment Management for JMI's developed assets, overseeing property management, implementing capital expenditure and value enhancement strategies, and managing investor relations.

Simon and Patsy are back taking another "deep dive" into a new type of book. The Travel Addict Podcast - The Spoken Word to The Written Word - Volume TwoHost of "The Travel Addict Podcast", Malcolm Teasdale sometimes talks by himself, and these spoken words are now summarized into written words for those people who prefer reading rather than listening, or just do both.Volume Two, contains a variety of travel related subjects, including his experiences onboard cruise ships around the world, including some of the subjects of his enrichment presentations to the passengers on board. In addition, he presents some of his personal opinions about travel-related subjects, which expose the best of, the worst of, the concerns, the humorous, bucket-list items, and other points of substance that stick in the brain cells forever.The content will pique your interest in various capacities, but the principal benefit from reading this book is that it will inspire you to start traveling more and gain a better understanding of how the rest of the world lives and works. Safe travels.http://www.malcolmteasdale.com
In this conversation, bestselling historian Bart Ehrman argues that ideas we now take for granted—caring for strangers, helping those in need and expanding our moral concern beyond family and tribe—were anything but obvious in the ancient world.Bart has spent much of his career challenging traditional Christian beliefs. But in Love Thy Stranger he makes a surprising historical case for Christianity's positive legacy, while remaining candid about the harm the church has also caused. Along the way we explore Jesus' relationship to Judaism, why the early church may have changed his teaching on forgiveness, whether Christianity transformed the moral imagination of the West, and what—if anything—we stand to lose as faith continues to decline.After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Nick wrestle with what it means to be shaped by Jesus' moral vision while no longer holding all the beliefs that once came with it.Interview starts at 11m 44sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

William Owens is a busy guy. You might catch him reading poetry or riding his bicycle across Taiwan or having dinner with new friends. But in all these journeys, no matter how big or how small, William is ready and willing to share the Gospel message with everyone he meets. William is a free-spirited traveler and the co-publisher of the Why Jesus book series. When it comes to leadership, William says that Jesus is the most profound example there is. Jesus would spend time with the Father, William points out, and then share that vision with His followers. Jesus listened to people and welcomed them into His presence. He wasn't worried about pushing them into a singular denomination or church. He wanted to know them and them to know Him. As Christian leaders, we can learn from Christ's example. TAKEAWAYS Jesus always expressed His deepest concerns to those He spoke with William has written more than 5,000 poems and visited 11 countries on his bicycle Churches sometimes try to contain God and control His behavior - an impossible task The Why Jesus book series is a collection of Christian short essays, stories, poetry, and testimonies

Most people plan an African safari without realizing the Indian Ocean is right there. We've now added a beach stay to our safari, where we checked out both Diani Beach in Kenya and Zanzibar and we are here to say we think it's an excellent idea before heading home. In this episode, we introduce you to Diani Beach, Kenya, compare it honestly with Zanzibar, and help you decide which one might be the best fit for the end of your safari trip. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure. What We Cover in This Epsiode Why you should consider adding a few days at the beach to your safari. The journey home from East Africa can be brutal, and after a week of 5 am game drives, you may not be as rested as you think. We make the case for four or five extra days in one of these locations and explain why it's a lot easier to pull off than most people assume. (We went from a morning game drive in the Maasai Mara to sitting on a beach by that same afternoon.) Diani Beach: the one you probably haven't heard of is on the Kenyan coast, south of Mombasa, and it's quieter, more local, and considerably less expensive than Zanzibar. We stayed at Eleven Pearl Boutique Hotel, a 20-room property right on the beach. Our honest review: what it delivers, what it doesn't, and who it's perfect for. Other Diani options worth knowing. We also visited the Sands at Nomad and the very unique Chale Island Resort, where the tide determines how you arrive. At low tide, a tractor pulls you across. We'll explain. Zanzibar vs. Diani: the real comparison. Beach quality, water clarity, activities, food, vibe, beach vendors, getting around, and the price difference that genuinely surprised us. (The food and drink total for four nights in Diani will raise your eyebrows.) Matching the destination to the traveler. Honeymooners, luxury seekers, budget travelers, first-time visitors to Africa, families. We go through them all and tell you which destination fits which traveler, without preparing our answers in advance. Here are our Quick Tips No extra visa needed for Diani if you're already on a Kenya safari since you're still in Kenya Zanzibar requires a Tanzania visa plus their own mandatory travel insurance (~$45/person) — factor that into the total cost Getting around Diani: tuk-tuks during the day, Uber at night — your hotel can call a trusted one At both destinations, tides are dramatic and affect where you can walk and when excursions run. If you want to buy from beach vendors, ask for exactly what you want since custom is often on the table Resources Episode 183 — our full Zanzibar episode (Turaco Nungwi Beach Resort, the Dream Dhow, Stone Town, and the mandatory insurance explained): listen before this one Dream Dhow snorkeling trip near Mnemba Island Kenya Group Safari, June 2027 — we're leading a small group, vehicles capped at 3–4 guests: sunshinetravelersexperiences.com/safari-group-trip Plan your trip: sunshinetravelersexperiences.com More Resources & Links: Get Our FREE Ultimate Packing Guide See ALL our Favorite Travel Resources Don't waste your precious vacation time with Jet Lag, get Flykitt and watch Jet Lag disappear!

Send us Fan MailJOIN ME FOR A THRIVE SOLO TRIP TO ITALY IN APRIL 2027! https://www.explore.co.uk/thrivesolo-italyThis week's episode is Part 2 of my conversation with Kristy Halvorsen, full-time nomad, coach and author of Perfect Unfolding: Seven Years of Life-Changing Solo Adventure, One Year That Broke Me Open — a book that I read and absolutely loved. If you haven't yet listened to last week's part 1, then I would urge you to do that first and then come back to this episode. In this second half of our conversation, Kristy tells me about the big love she had with the person she writes all about in her book, that ended about a year and a half ago; she talks all about how coming out of that relationship, and recovering from it has impacted the way she feels about her single life. We also talk about the five years before that relationship where Kristy truly fell in love with single life, and how being alone on the road for so long allowed her to really appreciate her solo adventures. We talk about solitude, and how learning to really love yourself requires time alone; Kristy tells me about the many connections she has formed with people during the course of her nearly 9 years of travelling across the US and Canada; we also talk about following the tickles of your soul, and how you might live your life if you trusted that everything was going to work out. I just loved this conversation so, so much — Kristy is wise and completely authentic, and I hope you'll enjoy this second part of our chat.Buy Kristy's book: https://perfectunfolding.com/Follow Kristy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristy.halvorsen/Check out Kristy's website: https://kristyhalvorsen.com/ Support the showJOIN MY ITALY TRIP IN APRIL 2027: https://www.explore.co.uk/thrivesolo-italyBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/bookJoin my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesoloDownload my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacksCheck out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!
What does it mean to become a man? And who teaches us how? In this episode, Tim is joined by author Shannon Kearns to explore the stories, expectations and assumptions that shape masculinity. Drawing on his experience as a trans man, Shannon offers a unique perspective on what it means to consciously navigate a world that many assume comes naturally.Together they explore male loneliness, friendship, vulnerability, violence, faith, and the quiet fear many men carry of not being enough. Rather than offering another culture-war take on masculinity, this conversation asks a more generous question: what might it look like to improvise a better way of being a man?After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Joy reflect on their own experiences of gender, friendship and vulnerability, and wonder whether some of the familiar stories we tell about men and women are quite as simple as they seem.Interview starts at 13m 13s Books, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

On this episode of the Foil Life Podcast, Luc Moore and Co-Host Nico Hopp talk with Keith Teboul (KT) about para-wing and wing board development, the evolution of shapes from the Super K2 to the ARC and new Drifter lines, production realities, and the foils that have accelerated progress in the sport.The conversation opens with the behind-the-scenes work that goes into putting a board into production—factory processes at places like Cobra, constant quality checks, and why the final price reflects thoughtful design and construction. Keith walks through how the Super K2 unexpectedly became a crossover favorite for early para-winging, then details the intentional shift to the ARC as a more dedicated para-wing board focused on stability while standing, front-to-back pump, non-tracking behavior, balanced foam flow, and an arrow nose that helps cross the wind and reconnect energy efficiently.They dig into the new Drifter 5 and Drifter Surf, which carry DNA from both the Super K2 and ARC—mellower arrow noses, refined outlines, improved stability and glide, and a broader range of uses from intermediate winging to prone and foil-drive oriented smaller sizes. Practical talk covers volume choices across the rider spectrum, strapless vs strapped options, weight considerations (and why “too light” has its own trade-offs), Holotech possibilities, Foil Drive compatibility, and why new attachment systems (tunnels, Tuttle-style, RedX, etc.) create commitment and standardization challenges for brands that prioritize inclusion.We also explore the real game-changers of the last few years—Kane's highly cambered Atlas and Nomad foils that delivered accessible low-end power, the Super K2 itself, and newer designs like the Halo and Solace that bring different balances of camber, reflex, speed, and mid-range efficiency. The episode closes with foil recommendations for advanced prone riders, thoughts on camber vs reflex, the value of two-year product cycles, team-based R&D, and the never-ending process of learning by riding and iterating.Episode Highlights:- Factory realities and the long road from prototype to production board - Super K2 as an accidental early para-wing standout and the purposeful design of the ARC - Key board attributes for para-winging: stability while waiting, pump efficiency, non-tracking bottoms, foam flow, and arrow noses - Drifter 5 and Drifter Surf: shared DNA, sizing advice, and broader usability (wing, prone, foil drive) - Weight, construction choices, strapless options, and the limits of ultra-light or hollow boards - New mast/foil attachment systems and why universal compatibility still matters - Kane's foils as personal and market game-changers (camber for low-end, reflex for accessible speed) - Practical foil setups for advanced prone (Halo 800 recommendations) and the ongoing R&D process A detailed, no-hype look at modern board and foil development packed with rider-focused insights, production honesty, and genuine enthusiasm for where the sport is headed.Visit: www.ktfoiling.com
In the first episode of our Tales of the Cocktail 2026 series, Damian sits down in New Orleans with legendary bartender and hospitality leader Leo Robitschek.Leo helped transform Eleven Madison Park from a busy New York restaurant into a three-Michelin-starred institution and the number one restaurant in the world. He later created the acclaimed bar programmes at The NoMad, becoming a managing partner and helping expand the brand from New York to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and London.Over a low-ABV tomato and basil Negroni, Leo explains why exceptional hospitality begins with culture rather than cocktails. He shares how collaboration between the bar, kitchen and dining room changed Eleven Madison Park, why the world's best bars need a distinctive identity, and how training people to understand “why” is more powerful than simply teaching them what to do.The conversation also explores staff education, empowering junior team members, turning difficult guests into loyal fans, avoiding the destructive pursuit of perfection, and Leo's latest project, Second Sip: a 20% ABV London Dry-style gin designed to deliver the full experience of a Martini or Negroni with half the alcohol.This is a practical masterclass in building bar culture, developing hospitality teams and creating experiences that guests genuinely remember.Key TakeawaysGreat hospitality starts with an engaged and empowered team.A technically excellent bar still needs a clear identity and a reason to exist.Eleven Madison Park's transformation began when the team stopped imitating other restaurants and discovered its own voice.Breaking down the wall between the kitchen, bar and dining room created space for genuine collaboration and creativity.Bartenders occupy a unique position between production and guest experience, allowing them to notice details others may miss.Listening carefully gives hospitality teams opportunities to personalise a guest's experience.Culture cannot simply be written into a training manual. It has to be reinforced through leadership, education and everyday behaviour.People are more likely to remain invested when they feel they are learning, growing and contributing.Managers should actively catch people doing things right instead of looking only for mistakes.Training should explain why something matters, not merely how it should be done.The best bars are not always those with the most technically impressive drinks. They are the places that make guests feel something distinctive.Perfection is impossible, but attention to the smallest details can still transform the overall experience.Bartenders and chefs need to step back from their creations and consider how a guest will experience them over an entire visit.Lower-alcohol cocktails can extend an evening without sacrificing flavour, ritual or connection.Episode Highlights12:20 – The need for “more Miles Davis” How Eleven Madison Park realised that technical excellence was not enough without a distinctive identity of its own.23:10 – Caviar and Cheez-Its Leo reveals how one carefully observed hospitality gesture transformed a sceptical guest into a loyal fan.25:15 – What would people miss if your bar closed? A powerful question for any bar seeking to understand its identity, purpose and place within its community.31:45 – Building a culture of continuous education How peer-led learning, regular tastings and professional development helped The NoMad create a more engaged team.33:05 – Teach the “why,” not just the “how” Why great hospitality requires employees who understand the purpose behind the standards and feel empowered to use their own judgment.Links and ResourcesFollow Leo Robitschek on InstagramDiscover Second Sip GinThe NoMad LondonEleven Madison ParkEmployees OnlyBar LeoneTales of the CocktailThe World's 50 Best BarsThe Cocktail Academy Podcast on InstagramVisit The Cocktail Academy Hosted on Acast.

In today's episode, I chat with Dr. Ann Krajewski, PsyD, about building a private practice while living abroad. We bust the big myths: that it's illegal, that malpractice insurance won't cover you, that virtual practices can't be profitable, that living abroad is expensive, & that time zones make everything too complicated. Ann's actually done this, in Morocco, Thailand (where she gave birth for way less than most people's deductible), & beyond, & she talks about how seeing way fewer clients can still mean living really well. Consider this your permission slip to start fantasizing about running your practice from somewhere with an olive grove. PS: Abundance Party members, Ann is our expert trainer for August!

What does a fulfilling life mean to you? It's an important question for anyone to ask themselves because it can help to influence your decisions, focus, and dedication to bring you closer to what you truly want and decide how you spend your time. My guest this week, Jason Robinson, reached a point in his life where he knew he wanted more; travel, adventure, and freedom. So he went for it. And then received some shocking news that changed his whole World again. Yet he had learned to roll with the changes. A previous guest encouraged me to Follow Jason on Instagram and have him on the show because she said we had some things in common and, indeed, we do. I loved talking to a follow nomad and hearing his wisdom around embracing life and his unique circumstances in a loving and accepting way to the best of his ability. On this guest episode Jason and I bond over our Nomadic lifestyles and love for novel experiences in life as well as a desire to be able to actually enjoy the lives we have. Jason shares about hitting a burnout wall a couple years ago; the moment, the action he took after 6-18 months of MVP (Minimum viable product = least amount of work to pay the bills instead of hustling all the time on side hustles + work), and learning how to play again or to simply sit in silence and be. (That last part is hard!) Part of Jason's story is also his Type 1 Diabetes diagnoses that he received just a year after becoming nomadic. He offers insight into taking intentional time to grieve when he was diagnosed and his realization that living in time scarcity isn't really the way to be for someone who is committed to living to the fullest.BIO:As a working class kid from Ohio, Jason didn't realize that moving away from his home state was an option until he was in his 20s, but as he got older, he realized that unless he wanted to end up a cranky old man with twisted, second-hand perceptions of the world, he figured he better start learning to travel... solo! As a result, Jason adopted an “experiment mindset” to tackle the unknowns of travel and how to make a living while on the road. He eventually transitioned to being a location independent nomad, earning his income by being a freelance designer and writer. Then, less than a year after selling it all to travel and work remote, during the Covid pandemic, Jason was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. He remains dedicated to motivating and inspiring others to push their comfort zones, but now he includes how to navigate living nomadically while managing a major medical condition. After hitting a major burnout wall a couple of years ago, these days Jason has really been concentrating on taking life slower, focusing more on the present, and trying to find balance with all of the directions life can pull us in.He writes about life, travel, money, and all things in between at: https://lifealteringthoughts.substack.com/ also:Thenomadexperiment.comtype1diabetestravel.comhttps://www.thenomadexperiment.com/digital-nomad-experiment-fear-solo-travel/ Jason A.

Send us Fan MailThis week's episode is Part 1 of a 2-parter with the fabulous Kristy Halvorsen, a full-time nomad and author. If "normal" is a way of being, Kristy is most definitely not that. In 2017, she sold pretty much everything she owned including her house, she left her career as a firefighting, and she hit the road in her Airstream trailer, Coddie. For nearly nine years, Kristy has migrated with the seasons, often with no idea where she's headed next. As well as being a nomadic world traveler, she is a mentor, coach, and bestselling author of Perfect Unfolding: Seven Years of Life-Changing Solo Adventure, One Year That Broke Me Open, a vulnerable, deeply human account of what's possible when you live in curiosity and wonder, embrace the unknown, and trust life while waking up to the simplicity and freedom available to us all. I've read the book and I honestly loved it and would highly recommend reading it — she writes beautifully and it's an inspiring read. This conversation was awesome, and in this first half, Kristy tells me all about what made her leave her career in firefighting to take off into the unknown; we talk about following your heart, we talk about heartbreak, and we talk about living the hell out of life.

The Volatility Nomad returns! On this episode of Volatility Views, Mark Longo and Dr. Russell Rhoads welcome back Michael Listman, aka UVXY Trader, who joins the show from the UK after months of trading his way across Europe. The crew breaks down another wild week for the volatility markets, including the brief VIX spike above 20, the post-Fed volatility collapse, a surprisingly subdued VIX futures curve, and whether the market is becoming a little too comfortable heading into the fall. Michael also takes us inside life as a traveling volatility trader and explains how being a "volatility nomad" has changed his approach to risk and position management. We dig into his current strategies involving UVXY, SVIX and VXX, seasonality in volatility ETPs, longer-dated positions, pair trades, short straddles and more. Plus, we examine the latest unusual VIX options activity, including some truly extreme upside strikes, revisit Russell's Microsoft earnings trade, and peer into the Crystal Ball for where VIX could be headed next.
Reneltta Arluk grew up on a trapline in the Northwest Territories, living off the land with her grandmother and the legendary Arctic dog team guide Archie Larocque. Those nomadic early years shaped a career that took her from founding the first professional theatre company in the Northwest Territories to becoming the first Indigenous woman to direct at the Stratford Festival. Now a leader at the National Gallery of Canada, she joins guest host Gill Deacon to talk about carrying stories forward from the trapline to gallery walls.
How do you hold onto a spiritual tradition after being deeply disappointed by the people who represent it? That's a question Swami Padmanabha — a Hindu monk, teacher and author of Evolution in Divine Love — has had to wrestle with more than once. Rather than walking away, those experiences led him into a deeper exploration of authority, uncertainty, love and the possibility that healthy traditions are those that continue to evolve.In this conversation, Tim and Swami explore what it means to stay rooted without becoming rigid, to question without becoming cynical, and to remain open to wisdom wherever it is found. Along the way they discover some surprising resonances between Hinduism and Christianity, and ask whether the future of religion might depend less on having all the answers and more on learning how to keep growing.After the interview, Tim is joined by Nick to reflect on what stayed with them most. From caring for God as though God were a child, to learning from other faith traditions without losing your own roots, they explore where Swami's vision resonated, where it challenged them, and the questions they're still left pondering.Interview starts at 12m 48sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

This episode picks up right where Part 1 left off, as Jennifer continues her conversation with her friend and longtime travel companion Kirsten Dickerson in her home in London. Kirsten opens up about what came after Raven + Lily - the quiet grief of walking away from something she had built her identity around, and the winding season that followed: a global nonprofit, a string of retreat centers renovated by hand, a painting practice she never expected to fall back in love with, and a handful of countries that eventually led her to a feature-length documentary. It's a conversation about what it looks like to keep saying yes even when the next step isn't clear, and about the people that have been along for the ride the whole way.
Jeff and Marisa dive deep into hustle culture, the infamous “996” work schedule, and why overwork isn't just toxic, it's literally taking years off our lives. From Silicon Valley badge-of-honor busyness to nomads redefining success, this episode is a reality check on what really matters: health, freedom, and time.
For many Christian parents, the message was simple: if you follow the biblical formula, your children will grow into faithful, flourishing adults. But what if those promises were never true? In this episode, Tim speaks with Marissa Burt, co-author of The Myth of Good Christian Parenting, about the rise of the evangelical parenting movement, the fears that fuelled it, and the hidden assumptions about authority, obedience and control that shaped generations of families.Drawing on historical research and the stories of both parents and adult children, Marissa explores how well-intentioned families were often let down by systems that offered certainty where none could be guaranteed. Together, they discuss the relationship between love and control, the impact of shame and spiritual authority, and what healthier, more hopeful approaches to parenting and faith might look like today.After the interview, Tim is joined by his wife Hannah to reflect on how the conversation resonated with their own experiences of growing up in evangelical families, and how it has shaped the way they're raising their son, Elliot. Together they explore themes of fear, control, corporal punishment, questioning authority, and what it means to pass on faith without trying to control the outcome.Interview starts at 16m 19sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.
