The Headlines: Want a Second Date? Skip the Bar—Try a Hike Instead Scientists Discover a New Color Called “Olo”… But There’s a Catch First Dates with Activities = Better Odds of Love If you're tired of awkward first dates over drinks, science has your back: active dates are 25% more likely to lead to a second one than meetups at bars, restaurants, or coffee shops. The best success? Hiking, which boasts a 50% success rate—apparently, love does like long walks in nature. But you don’t need to break a sweat. Other great options include cooking classes, concerts, food trucks, museum visits, or botanical garden strolls—basically, anything that gets you moving and talking.Source Scientists Discover a New Color—But You Probably Can’t See It Ever wanted to see a brand-new color? Scientists just found one and named it “olo”, a blue-green hue that doesn’t exist in the regular color spectrum we see every day. The wild part? It was discovered by firing laser pulses into people’s eyes. Only five people in the world have seen it so far, and no, it’s not available in paint form just yet. It exists only as an optical phenomenon produced inside the eye—not on any screen, canvas, or palette. So if you’re down to risk lasers to the eyeballs just to see a new color… maybe let someone else go first.Source Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

As an ambitious and anxious twenty-something pursuing a sexy tech career in San Francisco, he fell into severe drug addiction that nearly cost him his life.In this episode, Olo and I dig deep into what that experience was like for him, how he found his way through, and how — somewhat incredibly — that harrowing journey ultimately bore the fruits of what I now see as his soul's incredible gifts.Olo reflects at the end of the interview that it was one of the deepest conversations he's ever had about the intricacies of his story.Through the lens of Alex's story, he and I explore the seemingly innate human longing for initiation, what makes a true initiation, and how our souls can find their way into initiation even in the absence of support and guidance from our mainstream culture.We discuss Alex's view on the phenomenon he calls “modern addiction” — essentially, the somewhat ubiquitous experience in modern life of losing ourselves into any number of (often tech-enabled) distractions and dopamine loops that pull us into a negative cycle of reciprocally narrowing our experience and ourselves.Alex points out the reality that in this day in age, it's much less of a question of whether or not you are an addict, and more of a question of where you fall on the addiction spectrum.He also offers his take on how we can find our way out of the negative cycle of modern addiction — a path he calls “awakened recovery.” In essence, by adopting ways of seeing and being that bring us deeper into the present moment and a fuller experience of our truest selves, we can unfold into a positive cycle of reciprocal opening that leads us to a profoundly fulfilling, clear, and beautiful experience of modern life.Last but not least, this episode was recorded on the eve of Alex crossing the threshold into becoming a father. The serendipity of that timing was not lost on either of us, and I'm so excited to welcome him — and all his hard-earned wisdom and love — into the family of fathers across the globe.I deeply enjoyed this conversation, and found it enlightening and expansive.

Today, the 750 employees of Off Lease Only, LLC found themselves unemployed . After nearly 20 years in business, OLO in an internal memo stated 1. What is Off Lease Only announcing today? Is Off Lease Only going out of business? Yes, Off Lease Only ("OLO" or the "Company") has initiated an orderly wind down of its business. Over the coming weeks, we will be taking various steps to responsibly shut down our operations and liquidate our assets. We anticipate the wind down will take approximately 30 days to complete. 2. How did Off Lease Only end up in this situation? As most of you know, unprecedented changes to the automotive retail landscape over the last few years resulted in unanticipated challenges and competitive pressures for independent used vehicle dealers. We have been significantly impacted by the scarcity of inventory and inflated prices stemming from disruptions in the supply chain. Elevated pricing and rising interest rates have further deteriorated conditions in the automotive retail market, weakening consumer demand and affordability. Industry headwinds coupled with the decreased affordability of used cars has put us in an incredibly difficult position that we must start winding down our operations. Our leadership team has been working tirelessly to reduce our costs and expand our access to inventory, so that we could compete more effectively, and implement prudent cost management in the current environment. However, despite our efforts and achievements, we are unable to overcome these challenges. 3. Are these decisions related to business performance? Yes, we have been impacted by the unprecedented changes in the used automotive retail landscape over the last few years that resulted in significant challenges and competitive pressures for independent vehicle dealers. We have been significantly impacted by the scarcity of inventory and inflated prices stemming from disruptions in the supply chain. Elevated pricing and rising interest rates have further deteriorated conditions in the automotive retail market, weakening consumer demand and affordability. Industry headwinds coupled with the decreased affordability of used cars has put us in an incredibly difficult position that we must start winding down our operations. 4. Will there be layoffs as a result of this announcement? Unfortunately, as part of the wind down process, we have had to make the difficult but necessary decision to eliminate all of the positions in our Company. For all of our associates, September 7, 2023 is the last official day of work at the Company. However, for most associates September 6, 2023 is their last physical day with the Company. A small transition team will be asked to continue to support Off Lease Only wind down for a temporary period beyond September 7, 2023, but these arrangements will ultimately be eliminated as well at the conclusion of the wind down. 5. How does this announcement impact day-to-day operations at Off Lease Only? We have ceased sales operations and will be closed to the public effective immediately.

Don't miss out on the latest episode of Hospitality Hangout, where hosts Michael Schatzberg, fondly known as "The Restaurant Guy," and Jimmy Frischling, "The Finance Guy," dive deep into a compelling chat with food industry guru Rob Ertmann, CEO of Mo' Bettahs. This episode offers a delicious blend of insights and entertainment guaranteed to sate your curiosity about restaurant tech trends and Hawaiian food.From humble beginnings at a pizza shop to leading the helm at Mo' Bettahs, Ertmann guides us through his flavorful journey in the food industry, coupled with the joy of serving mouth-watering Hawaiian delicacies. A true testament to their success, Mo' Bettahs is set to celebrate their 15th anniversary with the launch of their 44th store, signaling an impressive doubling in outlets over a mere 24-month period. Ertmann teases the expansion won't stop there, with Las Vegas, Houston, and Phoenix on the restaurant's horizon.You won't want to miss the discussion about the transformative partnership between Mo' Bettahs and Savory Fund. Ertmann is enthusiastic as he recounts how, when Mo' Bettahs was just a six-unit operation, the Savory Fund stepped in to provide the expert support they desperately needed. From finance and IT to accounting and payroll, the Savory Fund offered them the tools to scale their operation effectively and efficiently, all the way to their 22nd store.Ertmann highlights the warmth and intelligence of the Savory team, which allowed him to transition all operations in-house, now led by a dedicated Mo' Bettahs team. Nevertheless, the benefits of their partnership with the Savory Fund continue. Ertmann is grateful for the ongoing counsel, coaching, and support he receives from Savory's exceptional team. Their guidance has been instrumental in Mo' Bettahs' success and the continued evolution of the brand.Unraveling the tech-infused operations at Mo' Bettahs, Ertmann describes their successful partnerships with tech heavyweights such as "Thanks," Ovation, and Olo. These collaborations have fueled significant customer engagement, a ballooning loyalty database, and streamlined third-party delivery integration into their POS system. However, while Ertmann embraces technology's role in the sector, he doesn't lose sight of the integral role of human capital. For him, tech should support but never supplant the core values of high-quality food, excellent service, and a well-trained team.As the conversation whips to future trends, Ertmann voices his interest in the increasing influence of AI in the restaurant industry. Schatzberg, on the other hand, dishes out his excitement about the rising trend of automation and robotics, eager to see how these advancements can replace repetitive tasks.Want a taste of this fascinating banter mixed with a dash of the "Food Service Feud"? Tune in to the latest episode of Hospitality Hangout. And remember, in the end, it's all about the people, the tech, and of course, the food.
