今年咖啡行业发生了两件大事：星巴克中国和 Blue Bottle（蓝瓶咖啡）都被中国资本收购了，而其他连锁洋品牌例如 Peet’s（皮爷咖啡）、Tims（天好咖啡）、以及 %ΔRΔBICΔ（百分号咖啡）背后亦不乏中资身影。所以本期节目的关键词是「机构化」与「本土化」。中国咖啡行业发展到2026年，早已不再是瑞幸与库迪之间的价格战，而是进入了一个更复杂的新阶段。 星巴克总部为什么愿意出让中国业务控股权？ 博裕资本为什么主动接手这个面临巨大竞争压力的业务？ 瑞幸咖啡背后的大钲资本买下蓝瓶咖啡，究竟看中了它什么？ 瑞幸中国业务进入成熟期后，还能从哪里寻找新的增长空间？ 本期节目的 One More Thing：咖啡战场的更大变数可能来自行业之外——毕竟蜜雪冰城、古茗等茶饮巨头，正在把咖啡放进自己的万店连锁…… 特别鸣谢：vivo X Fold6 本期节目由 AI 轻办公神器 vivo X Fold6 赞助播出 出门在外使用AI工作，特别容易闹心。应用切到后台很容易被系统杀掉，不断来回切换浪费很多时间。vivo 最新一代折叠屏手机X Fold6 可以一屏同时显示 4 个应用，互不遮挡、窗口大小随心调。常用窗口搭配还能一键保存组合，随时点开就能恢复使用。出门在外也能同时兼顾便携和高效。 会员社群 疯投圈开设有会员社群，在这里您可以结识志同道合的朋友、发现业务合作的伙伴。每年我们会在北京、上海、深圳、广州四个城市举办仅限会员参加的线下活动，其他城市也会不定期举行小型的会员聚会。通过面对面的交流，您可以与其他会员进一步加深了解、促成合作。 会员还可以阅读由疯投圈播客节目内容重新人工整理编辑而成的《疯投圈文字精选》，适合阅读习惯，方便查询检索节目中提到的图表、数据、观点、结论。 微信搜索关注「疯投圈」服务号并发送关键词「会员」了解详情和加入社群。 商务合作 商务合作请发送电子邮件至 biz@crazy.capital

After a spring break of sorts, Andrew and Joshua are back with Backrooms, Kane Parsons' (née Pixels) breakout liminal-space horror. Lose yourself in the endless corridors of the YouTube-to-Hollywood pipeline, while the critics break down The Discourse around the new filmmaker ("He's 20") and his box office smash and find out whether the two consider it sensational enough to enter the Take-Up's canon. After that, Andrew and Joshua have One More Thing.To celebrate (or explicate) Joshua's transatlantic move to France, the next episode will celebrate Olivier Assayas' 1996 ode to being a stranger in a strange land (and ode to his future wife and all-time great actor Maggie Cheung) Irma Vep.Read on at thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

Have you ever completely fallen apart over something small… only to realize later it wasn't really about that thing at all?Sometimes emotional overwhelm isn't caused by one moment. Sometimes it's weeks of stress, fear, shame, exhaustion, criticism, bad luck, and pressure piling up until one final thing breaks the dam.In this minisode from The BPD Bunch, a side conversation turns into an honest discussion about emotional overwhelm, crying in public, shame, recovery, and what happens when emotions finally catch up with you.The cast shares stories about breaking down at work, crying in front of authority figures, feeling embarrassed by emotional reactions, surviving impossible weeks, and learning that sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop fighting your emotions and let yourself feel them.What starts as a tangent becomes one of the most honest conversations from the recording session.We talk about:* BPD and emotional overwhelm* Shame after emotional reactions* Crying in public* Emotional sensitivity* Fear of criticism* Recovery from BPD* Emotional regulation* BPD and workplace stressIf you've ever felt embarrassed by your emotions, judged yourself for having a hard day, or wondered why one small thing suddenly pushed you over the edge, you're not alone.For the next few weeks, we're taking a short break from our AMPD deep dive and answering some of your questions instead. Don't worry though, we'll be back on June 24 to pick up where we left off.⸻

Recorded thirty minutes after the WWDC26 State of the Union keynote ended, The Trio delivers a hot-take reaction to everything Apple just announced. Steve makes his boldest claim yet: 2026 is the year the "Universal UI" era begins, anchored by a Siri demo that appeared to actually work in real time. Xcode quietly Sherlocked the Codex app, SwiftUI got reorderable containers and (finally) AsyncImage caching, and Aaron spotted some very suspicious folding phone tea leaves in the new Simulator replacement.## Chapters00:08 Introductions 01:31 Reviewing The Trio's "Universal UI" Concept 02:39 Comparison of "AI" Apps: Siri, Claude, Codex, ChatGPT 05:43 Multimodal Prompts & Private Cloud Compute 07:26 Foundation Model Device Requirements 09:50 Dynamic Profiles and Custom Model Configurations 13:41 Xcode 27 Sherlocked the Codex App 15:42 Xcode and Developer Tool Evolution 21:47 SwiftUI Updates: Reordering and AsyncImage Cache 26:14 A Grab Bag of Random Stuff 28:23 App Actions and Siri Integration 35:04 No Apple Claw? 39:09 Swift Compiler Unable to Type Check Error 40:37 Final Impressions 42:02 Folding Phone Tea Leaves 43:07 Snow Leopard Speed Improvements 43:53 Wrap Up & One More Thing... 45:50 Tag ## Show Notes- Steve declares 2026 the start of the "Universal UI era," with a live Siri demo that actually worked as his primary evidence.- Aaron clocked the demo as mostly staring at a loading spinner; Steve argues Apple had to prove the on-device inference wasn't faked this time.- The Foundation Models framework supports dynamic profiles: configurable system prompts, temperatures, and thinking budgets per scenario within a single app.- Xcode 27 ships an agentic coding UI seemingly inspired by the Codex app, prompting Kotaro to ask point-blank: "Are you saying they Sherlocked Codex?"- SwiftUI finally has a reorderable container, which The Trio immediately wants in Bento Fit after a previous attempt even an "AI" agent couldn't pull off.- AsyncImage gets a built-in cache after years of third-party workarounds; Steve suspects some intern with an unlimited Claude Code budget finally got it done.- App Actions now supports natural language invocation without requiring specific phrases or app name mentions, though exact limits remain fuzzy.- Aaron flags resizable iOS windows (previously iPad-only) and an arbitrary-aspect-ratio Simulator replacement as very suspicious folding phone tea leaves.- Kotaro closes on Snow Leopard-style speed wins across the board, including 80% faster AirDrop, because speed is still a feature worth shipping.## Links**One More Thing**Cleo Family: https://www.cleofamily.app/track**PhillyCocoa:** https://phillycocoa.orgIntro music: "When I Hit the Floor", © 2021 Lorne Behrman.

With WWDC26 just around the corner, The Trio burns off some Google I/O feelings before getting to the speculation they actually care about. Steve breaks down why AI-slopified search might be quietly destroying the Web's economic model, Aaron wonders what any of these agentic tools actually do right now, and Kotaro lays out a case for why this might finally be the year Siri stops being a punchline. Also: Xcode Pro is coming. Probably. Apple, please don't.## Chapters00:00 Introductions 00:52 Google I/O — "AI" All the Things 09:12 Google I/O — Killing Search with "AI" Slop 13:32 Google I/O — "Agentic Commerce" is Coming For Your Business 15:09 WWDC26 Speculations — Dynamic Widgets 17:58 WWDC26 Speculations — New Siri (Finally) 20:36 WWDC26 Speculations — AppleClaw & Xcode 26:27 WWDC26 Speculations — Folding Phone Tea Leaves 28:24 WWDC26 Speculations — HomeOS 31:11 WWDC26 Speculations — Out of the Box 37:32 WWDC26 Speculations — New Foundation Model 41:49 Outro & One More Thing... 42:51 Tag## Show Notes- Google I/O 2026 went all-in on AI, with Kotaro noting the near-total absence of Kotlin, Jetpack, and Flutter talks at this year's developer sessions.- Gemini 3.5 Flash launched as the new "affordable" model and turned out to be significantly more expensive than its predecessor.- Steve takes apart Google's AI search redesign, arguing it quietly destroys the economic model that funds the Web, including Google's own ad revenue.- Aaron's deadpan verdict on Google's AI search demos: "the only thing it showed was it generating these giant slop docs. Who wants to read those?"- Kotaro and Aaron speculate that WWDC26 could bring more dynamic, context-aware widgets, ones that are smarter about timing and context than the current static rectangles.- The Trio agrees the headline WWDC feature is a Siri that actually understands intent, with Shortcuts workflow building as a hopeful bonus.- Kotaro floats an "AppleClaw" style personal assistant via iMessage, letting developers submit agentic tasks to an Xcode Cloud backend.- The folding iPhone question comes up: does it run iPadOS, iOS, or something in between, and how will apps scale across the form factor?- Steve expects Apple to plant HomeOS seeds at WWDC, APIs and features that will only make full sense once a HomePod-with-a-screen arrives later in the year.- The Trio caps the WWDC wishlist by accidentally inventing Xcode Pro, Apple's inevitable premium developer subscription tier.## Links**Google I/O 2026**Google I/O 2026: https://io.google/2026/Everything Announced at Google I/O 2026 in 13 Minutes: https://youtu.be/qCfARlv74jQ | 100 Things We Announced at I/O 2026: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/ai/google-io-2026-all-our-announcements/**WWDC26**WWDC26: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc26/**One More Thing**AppJawn LLC: https://appjawn.comApps: Clipdish, Mio Vino, Minimalist Meditation Timer**PhillyCocoa:** https://phillycocoa.orgIntro music: "When I Hit the Floor", © 2021 Lorne Behrman.

Send us a voicemail to mark Let Me Sum Up's upcoming 100th Episode! Your friendly neighbourhood climate and energy podcast of record is about to clock up its 100th episode! Global VP for Marketing and Extortion kindly requests Summeruppers to send us a voicemail with your questions for LMSU's intrepid hosts or favourite anecdotes from listening to the pod. All contributions welcome! — In Episode XII of Global Energy Crisis Corner the current fuel crisis might have slipped off the radar of everyday Australians because, well, it's all been Very Much Under Control And Nothing To See Here Except Higher Than Pre-Crisis Domestic Fuel Reserves. That doesn't stop your tired, but resilient-in-our-nerdery intrepid hosts from another serving of what-is-actually-going-on-out-there chat! The latest IEA Oil Market Report makes it clear things are still VERY BAD but the impacts have been softened by countries drawing down on their domestic reserves - particularly China. But how much longer can this last? And how is this being experienced outside rich countries like Australia that can afford to pay extra to bolster imports? This article in the Economist does a good job outlining the impacts across Asia. Buckle up for Episode XIII folks. Our main course Your intrepid hosts dive out of the fire and into the frying pan to dissect ‘Power Flexible AI Factories: A UK-First Demonsration of Grid-Responsive AI Infrastructure', a paper from Chris Williams et al and supported by Emerald AI, Electric Power Research Institute, the UK's National Grid and Nebius. So what does BIG AI think the solution is to managing the growth of power-hungry data centres across the globe?  Unsurprisingly this paper is optimistic on the potential for data centres to operate in practice as a form of demand response, to smooth peak demand around significant events (tea kettle breaks for UEFA matches, anyone?) and reduce power consumption by up to 40%. The trial documented in the paper provides some real cause for optimism and throws out some suggestions for reform, but bigger trials and key questions - like who pays for the flex? And how about that water consumption? - still need grappling with.  One more things Tennant's One More Thing is: a techno-optimist double delight! CATL deal for 60 GWh sodium-ion batteries for grid storage shows sodium is here and lithium constraints aren't going to be a problem AND Fervo IPO - geothermal startup raises US$1.89b and market values it at $10b+ - they will have the money to get their first 500MW plant up and running this year (Cape Station, Utah). Frankie's One More Thing is: a sneaky peak into LMSU's post Budget analysis to alert folks to a tantalising reference to the Government's work on a ‘market measure' to drive demand for new Australian LCLF production (page 12 of BP1 to be precise). Watch this space! Luke's One More Thing is: some electrification optimism percolating around the country - from the $40m funding in the Budget to help electrify Australia Post's operations to Incat in Tasmania taking their ferries all electric! LMSU also heartily commends to Summerupperers the book ‘Power, Prosperity and Planet: Climate and Energy Policy For All' from friend of the pod, Thom Woodroofe! And that's it for now, Summerupperers. There is now a one-stop-shop for all your LMSU needs: head to letmesumup.net to support us on Patreon, procure merch, find back episodes, and leave us a voicemail!

163. Helping Students Transition WellAs school counselors, we spend so much time managing schedules, testing, field trips, celebrations, and end-of-year chaos that it's easy to forget what many students are experiencing underneath it all: transition.In this episode of Counselor Chat, I'm talking about how transitions affect students emotionally and how we can support them in simple, meaningful ways without adding one more giant project to our already busy season.From elementary students moving to middle school, to seniors preparing to graduate, students often carry fears, uncertainty, excitement, grief, and anxiety all at the same time. The good news? Supporting them doesn't have to involve complicated lessons, elaborate crafts, or Pinterest-perfect projects.In this episode, I share realistic and manageable ideas that help students process change, reflect on growth, and move forward with confidence.In this episode, we discuss:Why transitions can feel emotionally overwhelming for studentsCommon fears students have when moving to middle school and high schoolThe importance of normalizing emotions during times of changeEasy reflection and closure activities for different grade levelsHow simple conversations can create lasting impactWays to support graduating seniors emotionallyWhy counselors don't need giant productions to create meaningful momentsFavorite Quote from the Episode:“Simple is often better because it's realistic and repeatable, and students remember how they felt, who listened, and who helped them feel seen.”Resources Mentioned:Year End Review Discussion QuestionsSummer Counselor Conference Remember, meaningful does not have to mean complicated.You are making a bigger difference than you realize.Grab the Show Notes: Counselingessentials.org/podcastJoin Perks Counseling Club Membership and get the lessons, small group and individual counseling materials you need.

What is it about travel that transforms us? Does stepping into a new place make us wiser, more compassionate, more connected to the world? Or is travel sometimes just an escape — a temporary break from the weight of everyday life?Today, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes with Douglas Brouwer, author of The Traveler's Path: Finding Spiritual Growth and Inspiration Through Travel.

What happens when the story you've been trained to tell can no longer hold the truth you're living? In this cinematic and deeply human conversation, journalist‑turned‑storyhealer Candace Lynn Talmadge joins Michael to explore grief, myth, reinvention, and the power of narrative to transform emotional trauma.After decades in the disciplined world of journalism, Candace's life was shattered by the loss of her wife — a moment that revealed the limits of reporting and opened the door to something deeper. From that fracture came “storyhealing,” a structured narrative method for processing emotional pain, and Stoneslayer, her dark high‑fantasy series blending political intrigue, demonic warfare, spiritual awakening, and psychological depth.Together, Michael and Candace explore:Why myth often explains the human experience better than realismHow grief reshapes identity and creative voiceThe moment a lifelong journalist realizes imagination can reveal deeper truthWhat “storyhealing” is — and how narrative can transform painHow Stoneslayer emerged from loss, awakening, and reinventionThe tension between fact‑trained discipline and soul‑level storytellingIf you've ever stood at the edge of a story you didn't know how to tell, this conversation offers clarity, depth, and a new way to understand your own narrative.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Josh and Andrew venture into Soviet Russia to discuss the iconic Dziga Vertov film shown in film history classes, Man with a Movie Camera. Make sure to pay attention and take notes as our hosts go through their thoughts on this essential building block of pure cinema, including a reading of Josh's undergrad essay, commentary on self-awareness, Eisensteinian montage (or not), the nature of “propaganda”, and a look into a time Communist Russia was sliding into Stalinism. Subverting expectations, they go into One More Thing recommending anything but movies, endorsing the all-encompassing "true crime" podcast Criminal (hosted by the honey-voiced Phoebe Judges) and artemistimeline.com, a photo gallery and catalogue showing everything involving the Artemis II mission. Read on at thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

It almost seems the terms would be at odds--power and hope; one is strong, the other weak, based on wish or whimsy. Nope! Give this a listen.

Send us a voicemail to mark Let Me Sum Up's upcoming 100th Episode! Your friendly neighbourhood climate and energy podcast of record is about to clock up its 100th episode! And our Global VP for Marketing and Extortion kindly requests Summeruppers to send us a voicemail with your questions for LMSU's intrepid hosts or favourite anecdotes from listening to the pod. All contributions welcome! Subscribe to LMSU's Patreon for Pre-Budget Palooza or Grab our Sector Plan Odyssey Six Pack on its own! This week our Bonus episode includes wild and semi-informed speculation on what to expect for climate and energy in this year's Federal Budget. Run, don't walk, over to www.letmesumup.net and subscribe to our Patreon to check it out. And if all you really wanted from LMSU's BoCo bonanza of late was our six pack of sector plan coverage, you can grab that on its own too.  — In a trend that shows no sign of abating, your intrepid hosts reconvene Global Energy Crisis Corner because, it's been another two weeks and There Is Too Much. Since our last episode global oil prices are back up but local fuel prices are down. Que pasa? Government credit on import deals is subsidising fuel? Lag to global price spikes? Panic hoarding largely passed? A little bit of everything we reckon. So where does this leave us? The crisis doesn't look like it'll be done anytime soon, time to explore efficiencies and longer term pivots to better storage and electrification we reckon!   Our main course Your intrepid hosts think it's not a bad time for countries to be discussing the transition away from fossil fuels, so cue a global summit we prepared earlier! Last week the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels was held in Santa Marta, Colombia. We unpack where the conference came from (a few COPs in the making!), who was there (lots of constituencies, about half of COP parties pushing for stronger action to phase out fossils), who was not there (the other half of COP countries less keen on faster action, a bunch of business) and what happened! We dive into the Santa Marta Action Repertoire (SMART) Summary, the academic dialogue of the conference, edited and overseen by Friedrich J. Bohn, Jesse Burton, Andrea Cardoso, Frank Jotzo, Sissi Knispel de Acosta, Kjell Kühne, Pao-Yu Oei, Annette Zou. From overcoming economic dependence, to transforming supply and demand and advancing international cooperation and climate diplomacy, ideas abound and some spicy disagreement between your hosts emerges! One more things Tennant's One More Thing is: the IMO Net-Zero Framework is back under discussion! The outcome was continued technical refinement work, with adoption decision not due to be re-opened til October 2026. Frankie's One More Thing is: a hasty convening of Muskovic's Methane Musings to plug the just-published IEA Global Methane Tracker 2026. What does it say? Frankie's not sure but Tennant suggests there are claims Australia's methane fugitives are *way* higher than reported. Luke's One More Thing is: some reportage on the recent high level dialogue hosted by the IEA in Paris with Turkiye and Australia, at which some encouraging comments were made from Turkiye's COP31 President Kurum on support for electrification and energy sovereignty… NOW? And that's it for now, Summerupperers. There is now a one-stop-shop for all your LMSU needs: head to letmesumup.net to support us on Patreon, procure merch, find back episodes, and leave us a voicemail!

What if one journey could rewrite the story you've been carrying your entire life?In this listener‑favorite episode, we revisit the extraordinary journey of Kirsten Rudberg, whose life was shaped by growing up overseas with a mother battling severe depression — a childhood marked by instability, emotional distance, and the quiet work of trying to understand her place in the world. Everything shifted when she felt an undeniable pull to walk the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage that challenged her physically, unraveled her emotionally, and opened her to a message that changed her life on a steep Spanish hill.Kirsten also shares a mysterious experience she calls compassionate possession — an event that terrified her at the time but later revealed its purpose in a moment of crisis on the Camino, allowing her to help someone else in a profound way. Her story is one of resilience, identity, mystical encounters, and the unexpected ways healing finds us when we finally stop running from our own narrative.Originally aired September 25, 2024, this episode quickly became one of the most talked‑about conversations of the year. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or revisiting it with new ears, Kirsten's journey offers timeless insight into transformation, connection, and the courage to follow the road that calls you.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Send us Fan MailOne small request can feel like a breaking point when you've already been carrying too much and you're not sure where the extra capacity is supposed to come from. We sit with that exact moment, the “I'm quitting everything” feeling, and unpack why it shows up for so many people across work, parenting, relationships, and caregiving. When overwhelm hits, it's rarely about the final task. It's about the invisible load behind it.Our guest, therapist and private practice owner Jacque Tyrrell, helps us name the hidden cost of constant adjusting: the emotional energy it takes to pivot, replan, brace for outcomes, and regulate fear over and over again. We also talk about how quickly we label that internal work as “rumination,” and how reframing it can replace shame with compassion. If you've ever wondered why a “tiny” detail like a school form can trigger tears, this conversation offers a grounded explanation that actually fits real life.We also keep it honest about privilege and access. Not everyone can outsource tasks or carve out time for ideal self-care, and advice that ignores that can feel like one more demand. We share practical strategies that scale: delegating where you can, communicating what's realistic, sorting tasks by urgency, loosening perfectionism, and choosing one next step instead of ten. If you're tired of hustle culture telling you to push harder, this episode offers a better question: what do you have the capacity for right now?If this resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who's carrying a lot, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

Joining Josh and Andrew this week, Washington University PhD Candidate Victor Putinier takes them down to post-Summer-of-Love California for 70s cult horror classic Messiah of Evil. Giddily getting into Gloria Katz and William Huyck's “California gothic”, the trio voice their admiration for a film that refuses to draw a clear line in the sand, from its unfinished production, subversion of zombie horror, and somehow doing its own thing while learning from the seemingly disparate works of Italian masters Mario Bava and Michelango Antonioni. Then, they have One More Thing, recommending the new album The Spiritual Sound from death metal band Agriculture, as well as continuing their talk of California Gothic with the 1970 adaptation of The Dunwich Horror.On the next episode, our hosts decide to give themselves a challenge.
