Deric Rosenbaum, President and CTO of Groucho's Deli, a legendary brand celebrating 85 years in business, shares his journey from a commercial construction background to leading the brand's growth and technological evolution, emphasizing a philosophy of "adapt, not change" to modernize systems while preserving the core essence of community and hospitality. He discusses the strategic decision to prioritize controlled, concentric growth through franchising, the importance of fostering human connection in an increasingly digital world, and how leveraging data and a robust tech stack (including Square for restaurants, Ovation, and Bikky) helps optimize operations and enhance customer loyalty without sacrificing the personal touch.10 Key Takeaways "Adapt, Don't Change": Modernize systems (technology, operations) while retaining the core brand identity and legacy (e.g., original recipes). Community and Hospitality are Core Assets: Building community and genuine hospitality is crucial for customer loyalty and takes time and investment. Controlled Growth Strategy: Groucho's prefers slow, measured, and concentric growth to maintain quality, brand recognition, and efficient distribution, avoiding rapid, capital-intensive expansion common in private equity models. Technology as an Enabler, Not a "Shiny Object": Tech should enhance guest experience and simplify operations, not just be used for its own sake. Prioritize Retention Over Acquisition: Focusing on retaining existing guests drives frequency, which in turn leads to organic new guest acquisition and revenue growth, even during economic pressures. The Importance of an Open API: A robust and open POS API (like Square's) allows for seamless integration with "best of fit" third-party tools (like Ovation for feedback and Bikky for data) to create a unified commerce ecosystem. Data-Driven Decisions: Utilizing a customer data platform (CDP) like Bikky allows for deep understanding and segmentation of guests to tailor marketing and improve operational efficiency. Consistency Creates Loyalty: Standardizing processes across the chain and delivering consistent experiences fuels success in the long term. Invest in Training and Culture: Especially in a franchise model, training operators (not just money partners) on the fundamentals of hospitality is key to maintaining brand standards and a positive guest experience. Listen to Your Guests: Use feedback mechanisms (like Ovation's text-based system) to engage in two-way conversations and make targeted operational adjustments based on sentiment analysis.

On this mind-bending episode of Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz step into the modern dimension of The Twilight Zone to unpack two standout episodes from Jordan Peele's revival: “Meet in the Middle” and “Ovation.” The crew dives into themes of ambition, identity, legacy, and the hidden cost of success, breaking down how these episodes twist classic Twilight Zone ideas through a contemporary lens. From uneasy deals with the universe to the price of artistic obsession, the hosts analyze what works, what stumbles, and how Peele's vision honors — and challenges — Rod Serling's original spirit. Expect deep discussion, sharp critiques, and plenty of philosophical detours as the guys ask whether these stories truly earn their place in The Twilight Zone.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: From Silence to Ovation: Triumph at Balaton Sound Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-07-12-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Balaton déli partján elterülő Balaton Sound Fesztivál vidám kavalkádja magával ragadta a nyári estét.En: The cheerful bustle of the Balaton Sound Fesztivál spread across the southern shore of Balaton, captivating the summer evening.Hu: A fények tükröződtek a tó vizében, míg a fesztiválozók nevetése és zeneszója zengte be a partot.En: The lights reflected on the lake's surface, while the laughter and music of the festival-goers resounded along the shore.Hu: Ebben a pezsgő közegben állt István, aki a nagy pillanatára készült.En: In this vibrant atmosphere stood István, who was preparing for his big moment.Hu: István alig várta, hogy bizonyíthassa rátermettségét a fesztivál szervezésében.En: István could hardly wait to prove his aptitude in organizing the festival.Hu: Ő volt az esemény koordinátora, és tudta, hogy most kell megmutatnia, mit tud.En: He was the event coordinator and knew that now was the time to show what he was capable of.Hu: A háttérben Lajos, a színpad mestere, lazán sétálgatott.En: In the background, Lajos, the stage master, was casually strolling around.Hu: Régóta csinálta már ezt, és bár mindig készen állt egy viccre vagy anekdotára, gyakran figyelmen kívül hagyott fontos részleteket.En: He had been doing this for a long time, and although he was always ready with a joke or anecdote, he often overlooked important details.Hu: Zsófia, a fiatal énekesnő izgatottan készülődött élete első nagy fesztiváljára.En: Zsófia, the young singer, was getting ready with excitement for the first major festival of her life.Hu: A Balaton Sound lett volna a belépője a nagy világba.En: Balaton Sound was supposed to be her entry into the big world.Hu: Mindháromuk számára ez az esemény sorsdöntő volt.En: For all three of them, this event was decisive.Hu: Ahogy elérkezett a főpróba ideje, minden zökkenőmentesen indult.En: As the time for the main rehearsal arrived, everything started smoothly.Hu: A nap aranysárga fénye lassan bíborba fordult a horizonton, és mindenki érezte az este közeledtét.En: The sun's golden light slowly turned crimson on the horizon, and everyone felt the approach of the evening.Hu: Ám ekkor történt valami váratlan.En: But then something unexpected happened.Hu: A hangrendszer recsegni kezdett, majd teljesen elnémult.En: The sound system started to crackle and then went completely silent.Hu: István arca elfehéredett.En: István's face turned pale.Hu: Ez az incidens nemcsak Zsófia fellépését, de az ő karrierjét is veszélybe sodorhatta.En: This incident could not only jeopardize Zsófia's performance but also his career.Hu: Lajos megszokott nyugodtságával próbálta felmérni a helyzetet.En: Lajos, with his usual calmness, tried to assess the situation.Hu: Tudták, hogy a póthangrendszer nem adhatna teljes értékű élményt, de az sem volt biztos, hogy sikerül megjavítani az eredetit.En: They knew the backup sound system would not provide a full-quality experience, yet it was uncertain if the original could be repaired.Hu: Az egész stáb feszülten figyelte Istvánt.En: The entire crew watched István intently.Hu: Kinek kell döntenie, ha nem neki?En: Who should decide if not him?Hu: Az idő szoros volt.En: Time was tight.Hu: Az esti főműsor közeledett, és csak egy esélyük volt.En: The evening's main show was approaching, and they had only one chance.Hu: István mély levegőt vett, és meghozta a döntést: megkockáztatja a javítást.En: István took a deep breath and made the decision: he would risk the repair.Hu: A technikusok azonnal munkához láttak, míg István és Lajos minden szabad pillanatukat bevetve támogatták őket.En: The technicians immediately got to work, while István and Lajos supported them with every spare moment.Hu: Zsófia türelmesen várt, bízva abban, hogy minden rendbe jön.En: Zsófia waited patiently, trusting that everything would be alright.Hu: A naplemente utolsó sugarai eltűntek, és a színpad fényei felgyúltak.En: The last rays of the sunset vanished, and the stage lights came on.Hu: Mindenki visszatartotta a lélegzetét, ahogy a hangrendszert újra bekapcsolták.En: Everyone held their breath as the sound system was turned back on.Hu: Zene csendült fel

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with Christian Ray Flores. Christian was born in Moscow, Russia to a Chilean father and a Russian mother. The family moved to Chile when Christian was nine months old. During the 1973 military coup of Augusto Pinochet, Christian's father, Americo Flores, was arrested along with thousands of others and spent time in one of the infamous concentration camps. His mother Larisa and two children went into hiding under an assumed name and with a fake Argentinian passport. After Americo's release, the family spent some time in a UN refugee camp and was granted asylum in Germany, moving to Munich. After living in Germany and Russia, Americo and Larisa moved to Mozambique, at the government's invitation, which was recruiting international professionals after a mass exodus of Portuguese upon the nation's independence. Christian learned four languages by age nine: Russian, Spanish, English, and Portuguese. After his parents' divorce, Christian returned to Russia with his mother and sister in 1983. Christian got a master's degree in economics in 1991 from the RUDN University in Moscow. In 1993, Christian released his first single in Russia and became an instant success, winning awards like Generation ‘93 and Ovation in 1996 and playing nationwide. Back-to-back top ten hits culminated in his number one single, "Our Generation" – an anthem of freedom and change. It became a song widely used as the anthem of Boris Yeltsin's election campaign. Christian campaigned for Yeltsin as part of the Russian version of Rock the Vote, credited to giving Yeltsin the youth vote and victory in the campaign. After moving to the US in 2004, Christian worked for the international charity HOPE Worldwide, serving as a country director for Latin America, focusing on health care and education in nine different countries. He also developed and directed the Positive Choice education program, implemented around the US and internationally in Mexico, Jamaica, Indonesia. Christian co-founded a production company, Hollywood World, in Los Angeles with his wife, Deb de Flores. Hollywood World allowed international artists to work with top Hollywood producers and directors. Among other projects, Christian did voice acting for the English and Spanish versions of Masha and the Bear, a popular animated TV series. After moving to Austin, Texas, Christian and Deb co-founded (with Brandon Knicely) Third Drive, raising millions of dollars for startups and creating digital media projects for emerging businesses, public personalities and non-profit organizations. Christian speaks to audiences in the US and internationally, hosts the Headspace with Christian Ray Flores podcast and YouTube Channel dedicated to success in career and calling Headapace newsletter. His short film Dance With Me was selected to several international film festivals, and its title song was released on all major music platforms. In the first days of the war in Ukraine, the Ascend Mission Fund launched the Ukraine Relief Network, serving refugees in Ukraine. Christian and Deb personally visited Ukraine in September 2022. In 2022, Christian and Deb launched the Xponential career coaching program for high achievers. Christian and Deb have been active in Christian ministry in the US, Eastern Europe, and Latin America for two decades. They lead The Tribe, a community of faith in Austin, Texas. Ray frequently speaks to different audiences in the US and overseas. They are also active in philanthropy through their charity Ascend Mission Fund and projects like the Ascend Academy in Mozambique that lifts children out of poverty through developing character, communication, and computer skills.
