Today we're joined by Englands most capped ever captain and our 2nd most successful leader of all time in World Rugby Hall of Famer Will Carling, who led us to 3 Grandslams and a World Cup Final. However his career wasn't without controversy, getting sacked as captain by the RFU President for physically and verbally assaulting them, getting slated by Sir Ian McGheechan for not trying when he played for the Lions, quitting as a Harlequins player when he disagreed with the coach and much more. However, he was part of Englands resurgence as a great rugby team in the late 80s and 90s and played with some of the great names from Dallaglio to Jason Leonard and today he reveals his greatest stories and memories from that era.  --------- Listen To Freddy's New Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/0yRw7rfJTR3twvshhge4Yy Buy tickets to our final show next week - https://claphamgrand.com/event/archie-curzon-the-rig-biz-pod-live/ Buy Samurai Clapham Falcon Stash -  https://www.samurai-sports.com/collections/clapham-falcons?utm_source=google&utm_campaign=&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=&device=c&product=&gad_source=1

I wished my late friend, Sherlock Holmes, was still here because this crime had a mystery to it that I knew he would have loved to solve. Three years had passed since Holmes's death. He had died during a fight with his enemy, Professor James Moriarty, at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. Both of them had fallen into the powerful water below. Now, all I had were my memories of Holmes and the many adventures we had shared together. My time with Holmes had given me a deep interest in crime, and every day I read the newspapers to look for unsolved robberies and murders. Sometimes, I even tried to use Holmes's methods to solve them, though I wasn't very successful. The murder of Ronald Adair was especially interesting to me, and I carefully read all the evidence presented at the inquest. All day, as I visited my patients, I kept thinking about the case. However, I couldn't figure out how the murder was committed, or who the killer was. Ronald Adair was the second son of the Earl of Maynooth, who was the governor of an Australian colony. His mother came back to England from Australia in the summer of 1893 for an eye operation. She, Ronald, and his sister Hilda lived at 427 Park Lane in London. Ronald quickly became popular with the upper class of London society. He seemed like a well-liked young man who had no enemies. In the autumn of that year, he got engaged to Miss Edith Woodley, but they ended the engagement by Christmas. There were no bad feelings, and they stayed friends. People who knew Ronald Adair said he was quiet, modest, and easy to get along with. There was nothing about his life or personality that made it seem like he would meet a violent end. However, he died in a strange and brutal way between 10:00 and 11:20 p.m. on the night of March 30, 1894. Ronald Adair enjoyed playing card games. He was a member of three card clubs in London and played almost every day, but usually for small amounts of money. On the day he died, he played two rounds of whist at the Bagatelle Club, one in the afternoon and one after dinner. His fellow players—Mr. Henry Murray, Sir John Hardy, and Colonel Sebastian Moran—later said there were no big wins or losses that day. Adair might have lost five pounds, but that was a small amount for someone with his wealth. He was a careful player, though he did win big sometimes. For example, he once won £420 in a single round with Colonel Moran as his partner. On the night he died, Ronald Adair came home from his club at exactly ten o'clock. His mother and sister were out visiting someone. The servant said she heard him go into his sitting room on the second floor. She had already lit a fire in the room and opened a window to let out the smoke. No one heard any noise from that room until Lady Maynooth and Hilda came back home at eleven-twenty.

Chris Jones's last view of God's Chosen People was from the balcony of the London meeting hall in Park Lane, as the Aberdeen crisis split JND's famous “Metropolitan” congregation in two, and half the “saints” stormed out of the hall amid angry recriminations. Born into the well known Barber brethren family, Chris changed his surname to Jones when he left, in defiance of his parent's appalling mistreatment of him. Intelligent and curious, and with a passion for geology and fossils, Chris found the narrow-minded and coercive Brethren regime unbearable, and his many acts of rebellion as a child resulted in harsh corporeal punishment. Leaving as soon as he legally could, Chris worked to pay his way through University, getting a B.Sc. with honors in Geology, and moved to Africa, where he became a exploration geologist and consultant for gold and platinum mining operations, then took up a teaching career as a lecturer in the University of Limpopo, South Africa. Chris had resolutely put his dark formative years in the PBCC behind him, and forged ahead with his exciting and successful life – but on his recent retirement, he came across the Get-A-Life podcasts, and felt a desire to tell his story, and to offer hope, encouragement and help to the current generation of young people trapped inside the narrow walls of the cult. Above all, Chris' sparkling and warm personality shines out in this podcast, as a testimony to an exciting, happy and successful life that had such a dark and unpromising beginning.

UConn Coach Geno Auriemma had some things to say about the transfer portal and NIL impacts on his sport. Mississippi State guard and former Seton Hall star Lauren Park-Lane was the implied example. Bulldog coach Sam Purcell and Park-Lane talked about the comments and social media fuss today, before discussing Mississippi State's Thursday evening contest at home with Tennessee.

Už jako malá jsem věděla, že jednou budu chtít na skvělou univerzitu, a potřebovala jsem tak prostředí, které mě k mému vysněnému cíli bude vést, říká osmnáctiletá Nina Fořtíková, která prvním rokem studuje takzvanou Land Economy na University of Cambridge. Obor, který je kombinací práva, ekonomie a životního prostředí, si absolventka pražské Park Lane International School vybrala právě pro jeho komplexnost, díky které nejen porozumí věcem z širší perspektivy, ale také tak v rychle se měnícím světě najde snáze uplatnění. To je ostatně přístup, který razí nejen univerzita v Cambridgi, ale také víceleté gymnázium Park Lane, jehož je Nina absolventkou. „Naším cílem není vychovat studenty, kteří si budou schopni perfektně zapamatovat učivo, ale mladé lidi, kteří dokážou věci chápat komplexně a neustále se učit,“ vysvětluje Paul Ingarfield, ředitel Park Lane.

It is my privilege to introduce Amy Shumway whose dedication to public service has not only transformed her local community but serves as an inspiration to all who value perseverance and community engagement. Amy Shumway, a proud resident of Farmington, embodies the spirit of civic responsibility and positive change. Amy's journey into public service began with a simple desire – the wish to enhance the trails in her hometown of Layton. This passion for outdoor spaces and community connectivity took root during her time in Germany, where she and her family fell in love with biking through the picturesque countryside. It was during this time that the seeds of advocacy were planted, and they would eventually blossom into a commitment to making a tangible difference in her community. Married to her supportive husband and a devoted mother to five boys, Amy's dedication to public service is deeply intertwined with her love for her family. A decade ago, she embarked on a mission to advocate for pedestrian access over Park Lane, with the goal of creating a leisurely path to Station Park, less than a mile away from her home. Her journey began by rallying her neighbors and community, collecting signatures, and presenting the need to various governmental bodies, from the city to Davis County, UDOT, WFRC, and even the legislature. Amy's commitment to her cause went beyond words; she engaged her community by involving her family in a heartwarming initiative. Selling 1,000 loaves of homemade bread, with a dollar from each sale earmarked for the project, she not only raised funds but also garnered the support of local businesses that matched those contributions. Her approach was a testament to her understanding that change requires both collaboration and grassroots efforts. Through it all, Amy's key to success has been a combination of patience and persistence. Her unwavering dedication to the cause has paid off, as the pedestrian crossing project is now funded and set for construction in 2024. Amy's vision wasn't just for her own family but for all residents of Farmington, showcasing a selflessness that is truly commendable. As we stand on the brink of seeing her vision come to life, Amy eagerly anticipates the upcoming construction for the Pedestrian Crossing. This moment is not just the culmination of 10 years of hard work; it is a testament to the power of one individual's dedication to making a positive impact on her community.

The right and center lanes of Staples Mill Road are closed between West Marshall Street and Park Lane due to a water main break. Traffic is being shifted to Staples Mill's left lane in the area, which is just northwest of West Broad Street. The Department of Public Utilities has initiated repairs and expects to reopen the closed lanes by 6 a.m. Friday. DPU is aware of no customers without water service, although some may experience reduced pressure.Article LinkSupport the show

VYS0029 | If There's Something Strange In Your Neighbourhood - Vayse to Face to Face with Field Lines Cartographer and Bob Freeman: Halloween 2023 - Show Notes Four middle-aged men bravely join forces to confront ancient evils, spooks, spectres and ghosts - ok, so, Vayse did Ghostbusters last Halloween but instead, this year, Hine and Buckley welcome back master of the liminal soundscape, Field Lines Cartographer and the Occult Detective himself, Bob Freeman to sit around the virtual camp fire as they each tell a ghost story from their home towns. FLC tells a tale of Warwickshire plague pits and feelings of stalking dread in the dark, Hine recounts a gruesome murder in Preston which led to bloody revenge from beyond the grave, Bob spins a classic American yarn of haunted houses in the deep, dark woods of rural Indiana and Buckley tells of the spirit of a young boy who haunts the picturesque town of Great Corby bringing those who encounter him great fortune followed by certain death. The conversation also turns to whether ghosts are actually, really all that scary, the differences between ghost stories in the UK and the US, the nature of reality itself (of course, this is Vayse)... and digitally transported flies... (Recorded 10 October 2023) Thanks again to Keith for the show notes and thanks to everyone for listening - please tell a friend (or benignly neutral acquaintance) and ask them to do the same!

I first ran across Jess Berglin when I was at a festival outside side of Able Brewing, and right away I noticed these cool vintage glasses, and they were filled with different types of candles. And I was quick to discover that Flicker and Fizz is not only a candle maker but a fellow cocktail lover. Welcome to the program.Jessica Berglin [00:00:46]:Thank you. Thank you for having me. It's great to be here.Stephanie [00:00:49]:Yeah. Jess, this is a really cute and clever idea. So tell me how you got started.Jessica Berglin [00:00:55]:Yeah, so I think I have to start with my love of vintage glassware. I have been shopping for it, sourcing it, obsessing over it for years. And I joke with a lot of my friends because every time I go thrifting or antiquing, I'm like, I found these. Do you like them? Do you want them? I just need a reason to buy it, just because it satisfies this thing inside of me, for sure. And for myself, I usually buy it for theme parties that I throw, so I'm always looking for really unique glasses to fit the theme that I want to entertain around. And then I kind of realized that they could become these really cool candle vessels and that the cocktail pairing side of it really creates this neat, kind of at home curated experience for people to enjoy. And it's kind of my way of bundling this passion for theme parties into a concise gift, I guess, for lack of better term.Stephanie [00:02:09]:You sound pretty fun, so let's just start there. What kind of themed parties are you having and why? Just for fun.Jessica Berglin [00:02:17]:So every year on my birthday, I throw myself a wild themed birthday bash. So my birthday is February 1, and the only reason that that is important is that there is nothing else to look forward to in Minnesota, that time of year, it's like holidays are over, new Year's is coming, gone. You're a month into your New Year's resolution, nights are long, and you just need a reason to get out and gather in a fun and creative way. And it's something let's see, how many years have I been doing this now? 13, I think. Okay, yeah, I just turned 37 this year, and I think I started with my either 23rd or 24th birthday. And, yeah, it's just all of my friends now have just become gung ho over kind of picking out their ensembles, and none of them even dress up for Halloween. It's like, no, we don't do Halloween, but Jess's birthday, we'll go all out.Stephanie [00:03:24]:Is it always like, a vintage theme?Jessica Berglin [00:03:28]:Not necessarily. So this past year, I called it my art party, so everyone had to dress up as, like, a famous work of art or artist or something along those lines. For the glassware side of it, I had all these little vignettes and then the themed drinks to go with them. A lot of them were champagne based, so I kind of had done all my really cute turn of the century etched coops and colored ones. I actually these, like, blue, iridescent ones. Oh, yeah. Kind of really cool. So, yeah, I love that it kind of just runs the gamut of whatever I can find and however I can bring life to it.Stephanie [00:04:18]:Okay, so you buy this vintage glass, and then you make a candle, and you pair it with a cocktail. So is the candle smelling like the cocktail?Jessica Berglin [00:04:29]:No.Stephanie [00:04:30]:Okay.Jessica Berglin [00:04:31]:No. So I like to tell people that the pairing is more so meant to create a certain vibe or ambiance versus, like, this is an old fashioned candle. It smells like you're old fashioned. That's not really my goal.Stephanie [00:04:46]:You're not Yankee Candle?Jessica Berglin [00:04:47]:No, we're not Yankee Candle, but it's like, okay. I like to have, when I'm drinking an old fashioned or Manhattan, what's the vibe that I want to set for fiery? Just, like, chill and just warm. So like ambery cinnamon? Yes, exactly. They're meant to kind of go with one another, not smell and or taste like one another.Stephanie [00:05:19]:Got it. Okay. That's great. So you have different versions. How many of these do you have so far?Jessica Berglin [00:05:29]:So right now, for spring and summer, I have five main ones that I'm doing, and I just debuted a new one this year, and then I have some year round ones too, that kind of can sort of transcend season and be sort of popular year round. But yeah, for summer and spring, seasonal, I have a couple of really great bright citrusy ones that are paired with so actually, the candle is called citrus fig. And then the cocktail pairing that I have for that is a basil fig smash. So it's basically bourbon with basil leaves and fig jam that you muddle with lime juice. Then you top it with ginger beer. So it's a great patio party kind of drink. And same with the candle scent. It feels like summer to me.Stephanie [00:06:32]:Were you a mixologist, or how do you come up with this cocktail part?Jessica Berglin [00:06:37]:It honestly stems from just how much entertaining I do and wanting a reason to do this cocktail or this cocktail. And I have a couple in my back pocket that I've been like, all right, I really want to do this cocktail. When do I want to do it? What kind of scent do I want to build around it? And it's like I have to have everything aligned in my head to be gung ho about it.Stephanie [00:07:09]:So you have your website flicker and Fizz, and then I know you do pop up markets. Are you also in retail locations?Jessica Berglin [00:07:15]:Yeah, so I'm just starting to get into retail locations. I am the resident candle maker at Oleo Vintage in Northeast Minneapolis, and then I have a couple of retail partners where I've done some private label sort of stuff for them all. In the vintage glassware, I have these really cool big decorative pieces versus the cocktail glassware type stuff that I do for them. I'm sort of building my arsenal of retail partnerships right now.Stephanie [00:07:50]:Is this full time work for you? And were you an artist before, or tell me about that.Jessica Berglin [00:07:56]:Yeah, I've always been a creative it's not a full time thing, so I'm hoping I can build it up to that point. But, yeah, I've always had a creative side, and my dad was a high school art teacher for years and years, and so I think, yeah, that side of me has always been present, and I knew I wanted to be a creative entrepreneur for a long time. Like, that stirring was within me, and I just didn't know what it was going to be until I had this hair brain scheme for Flicker and Fizz. And honestly, as soon as lightning struck, I had it all pulled together in, like, ten minutes because it was just like, yes, this is what it needs to be. And it was like I was just waiting for that moment and that lightning to strike, and it kind of has just fallen into place since then.Stephanie [00:08:53]:So the lightning strikes and then did you have money set aside or how did you fund your business initially, and is it cash and carry as you go?Jessica Berglin [00:09:02]:Yes, I've just kind of bootstrapped from the beginning and just doing what I can and moving things forward.Stephanie [00:09:14]:You do a lot of shows. Have you had shows that have been like, a bust or that you didn't get the value out of them and have any advice for makers that how do you choose what to do?Jessica Berglin [00:09:24]:Right? It's honestly a lot of trial and error, and I've been really fortunate to make a lot of friends with fellow vendors and just building a network of support to ask, like, hey, I'm thinking about doing this event. Have you done it, would you recommend doing it again? That kind of thing. And just being able to have those open and honest conversations with my colleagues has been invaluable. Really?Stephanie [00:09:59]:What percentage of your business is between Thanksgiving and New Year's?Jessica Berglin [00:10:03]:Oh, my gosh. Probably a quarter of it.Stephanie [00:10:06]:Oh, I would have thought it would be more.Jessica Berglin [00:10:10]:Yeah. I mean, that is my bread and butter time of year, and so this is my I'm only entering into my second full time year of having the full gauge of seasons, but, yeah, I'd say in the realm of, like, 25% to 40%.Stephanie [00:10:33]:So if you have your full time work or your job, like, your paying job, and then this is we'll call this, like, you're on your way to being more than a hobby job. You work every day during the high season?Jessica Berglin [00:10:47]:Yes, pretty much from end of September through the end of the year. I am not available.Stephanie [00:10:59]:Hustle, hustle, hustle.Jessica Berglin [00:11:00]:Yeah, it is.Stephanie [00:11:03]:How do you source your glass? Or are you just on the vintage finds and people now know how to look for you?Jessica Berglin [00:11:09]:Yeah, I source all over the place. Honestly, I thrift a lot of it antique malls, estate sales. And I have started getting people who find me at shows, and they're like, I wish I would have known you exist, because we just cleaned out my grandmother's, my mother's, like, china cabinet if they have those family pieces. So I'm like, yeah, take my information. I'm happy to clear out all of these pieces because a lot of people just don't know what to do with it. We don't entertain with 16 piece glassware settings anymore.Stephanie [00:11:54]:I do.Jessica Berglin [00:11:55]:Sure, weird like you, but especially younger generations don't have space for it either, but having a pair of two, that's manageable.Stephanie [00:12:09]:So once the candle is burned out, do you help people figure out how to clean it out so that they can use the glassware and how do you advise them?Jessica Berglin [00:12:18]:Yeah, absolutely, because that's my whole goal, is I want people to then enjoy the pair of glasses afterwards. Every set I have comes with a little stationary pack that includes the vintage information specific to those glasswares, the cocktail recipe, and then instructions on how to clean that out. So I'm not leaving anyone stranded. But basically what I recommend is crumple a piece of tin foil and line the bottom of a baking dish and then do a low temp oven around, like, 150 or so and just turn your candle upside down so it'll drain out, and then you can wipe it clean after it cools down.Stephanie [00:13:05]:I love it. Okay, if I'm looking at your studio right now, is there one signature glass that you don't have trouble finding that always is, like, your staple?Jessica Berglin [00:13:19]:Yes. Let me grab a couple.Stephanie [00:13:23]:Sure. So cute. I'm just looking at all of her great items in the background, all of her scents that she's got. That was a glass that was in every ponderosa.Jessica Berglin [00:13:46]:Yeah. So this style so this is an amber version, but the line is called Park Lane. It's by a company called Colony Glass. And I can usually find that pretty readily available in a wide spectrum of colors. So I have a lot of the amber ones right now that I'm gearing up for. Fall. Yes, fall type stuff. But I've done them in blue a lot. I've done clear ones as well, but I usually always have those. And then this one is Wexford by Anchor Hawking, which was when was this produced? I think they started in 1968 and discontinued around, like, 1998 or so. But I actually found someone's this was a Facebook Marketplace find where I basically got someone's grandmother's entire collection. So I have I think I have, like, 24 in this is, like, the big wine glass. I have 24 of the small wine glass, 24 tumblers. Cute. Kind of the whole thing. And then the last one that I find pretty readily available is this is called Longshomp by a company called Crystal Diark. It's a French I'm butchering that, but it's a French company. This whole pattern started because it was made to be an affordable China for people who didn't want or couldn't afford the really fine stuff but wanted something upscale. So this was really a mass produced China starting in 1977 or so.Stephanie [00:15:42]:I feel like my mom has that whole set.Jessica Berglin [00:15:44]:Yeah, it was really common, and a lot of people so I have that in the wine glasses. I've got low balls of it. They make probably my favorite champagne coupe because it's, like, really wide and has a really squat base that is just fantastic for not only drinking, but also it makes a great candle shape too.Stephanie [00:16:04]:Yes. I love it. All right, well, it has been a blast to get to know you. If I find glassware, I will text.Jessica Berglin [00:16:12]:You and be like, Absolutely.Stephanie [00:16:14]:I see this. Congratulations on finding something that's not only, like, creative cool in my realm with the cocktails and the food pairings, but also that is a reusable situation. And you're just bringing joy with the candle and then the joy of the glassware and then the joy of the potential of entertaining and what that looks like.Jessica Berglin [00:16:35]:I love it, right? Yeah. Thank you.Stephanie [00:16:38]:Super cute. Thanks for being with me today on Makers in Minnesota, Jeff.Jessica Berglin [00:16:42]:Absolutely.

Every set I have comes with a little stationary pack that includes the vintage information specific to those glasswares, the cocktail recipe, and then instructions on how to clean that out. So I'm not leaving anyone stranded. But basically what I recommend is crumple a piece of tin foil and line the bottom of a baking dish and then do a low temp oven around, like, 150 or so and just turn your candle upside down so it'll drain out, and then you can wipe it clean after it cools down.Stephanie [00:13:05]:I love it. Okay, if I'm looking at your studio right now, is there one signature glass that you don't have trouble finding that always is, like, your staple?Jessica Berglin [00:13:19]:Yes. Let me grab a couple.Stephanie [00:13:23]:Sure. So cute. I'm just looking at all of her great items in the background, all of her scents that she's got. That was a glass that was in every ponderosa.Jessica Berglin [00:13:46]:Yeah. So this style so this is an amber version, but the line is called Park Lane. It's by a company called Colony Glass. And I can usually find that pretty readily available in a wide spectrum of colors. So I have a lot of the amber ones right now that I'm gearing up for. Fall. Yes, fall type stuff. But I've done them in blue a lot. I've done clear ones as well, but I usually always have those. And then this one is Wexford by Anchor Hawking, which was when was this produced? I think they started in 1968 and discontinued around, like, 1998 or so. But I actually found someone's this was a Facebook Marketplace find where I basically got someone's grandmother's entire collection. So I have I think I have, like, 24 in this is, like, the big wine glass. I have 24 of the small wine glass, 24 tumblers. Cute. Kind of the whole thing. And then the last one that I find pretty readily available is this is called Longshomp by a company called Crystal Diark. It's a French I'm butchering that, but it's a French company. This whole pattern started because it was made to be an affordable China for people who didn't want or couldn't afford the really fine stuff but wanted something upscale. So this was really a mass produced China starting in 1977 or so.Stephanie [00:15:42]:I feel like my mom has that whole set.Jessica Berglin [00:15:44]:Yeah, it was really common, and a lot of people so I have that in the wine glasses. I've got low balls of it. They make probably my favorite champagne coupe because it's, like, really wide and has a really squat base that is just fantastic for not only drinking, but also it makes a great candle shape too.Stephanie [00:16:04]:Yes. I love it. All right, well, it has been a blast to get to know you. If I find glassware, I will text.Jessica Berglin [00:16:12]:You and be like, Absolutely.Stephanie [00:16:14]:I see this. Congratulations on finding something that's not only, like, creative cool in my realm with the cocktails and the food pairings, but also that is a reusable situation. And you're just bringing joy with the candle and then the joy of the glassware and then the joy of the potential of entertaining and what that looks like.Jessica Berglin [00:16:35]:I love it, right? Yeah. Thank you.Stephanie [00:16:38]:Super cute. Thanks for being with me today on Makers in Minnesota, Jeff.Jessica Berglin [00:16:42]:Absolutely. I appreciate it.Stephanie [00:16:43]:Yeah, we'll talk soon. Bye. This is a public episode.

"he squeezed through the tiny gap"

Renoites host Conor grew up here in Reno, and has a lot of memories of the Shoppers Square Mall (and it's gradual decline), as well as of the vacant lot where Park Lane Mall once stood. But things have changed in recent years and the southern end of Midtown is seeing a lot of new development, first with the Reno Experience District on the Park Lane site, and coming soon, the Reno Public Market in the former Shopper's Square building. The Market will be a food hall, artist creation and performance space, and local retail market for independent makers, among other things. Today's guest on the show is Nettie Oliverio, one of the people behind that project, with a focus on the arts and culture elements. Nettie previously served on Reno's arts and culture commission, and is the outgoing president of the board of the Pioneer Theater. On this episode, Conor and Nettie talk about the development of the Reno Public Market, the importance of arts and culture in retail spaces, the goal of creating spontaneous or surprising connections, the growth of local theater in Northern Nevada, and much more!

Welcome to The Conduit's podcast series, Service Please. This series will be focusing on ethical and sustainable hospitality, engaging with a diverse range of industry experts and a variety of individuals across different sectors, disciplines, roles and levels. From supply chains to sourcing, waste management to wellbeing and welfare – what problems need tackling and what does the future of hospitality look like? In this episode, we are joined by Robin Sheppard. Robin has been an hotelier for over 40 years, winning multiple awards and significant recognition for his work in the industry.  In 2000 Robin co-founded Bespoke Hotels which has grown into the UK's largest independent hotel group with over 200 properties. He has already won the Hotel Catey and then the Oxford Brookes award for Outstanding Contribution to the Hospitality Industry and most recently he won the AA Lifetime Achievement Award to the Industry. He is also the Government's Hospitality Sector Champion for Disabled People. Despite all of these accolades, Robin's greatest achievement has been to fight back from Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a completely paralysing illness. His slow recovery inspired him to launch the Blue Badge Access Awards to encourage better design and empathy from architects, interior designers and hospitality professionals alike. Quick Fire Round: What does hospitality mean to you? It means anticipation and preparing for any guest's arrival to be made to feel special, recognised, valued and cherished.  Desert Island Dish My death row dish would be a picnic in the hope that we might be able to have it outside and I could run away… But probably a delicious spaghetti Bolognese, I love Italian cooking. I'm told by Heston Blumenthal that by putting a little star anise into your Bolognese makes all of the difference.  Favourite season Spring, I love spring, flowers come into bloom, there's a sense of hope. Newsagent confectionary of choice I'm very fond of Picnics… I did go through a terrible period of Jaffa Cake addiction, but I did get that under control. Favourite restaurant Bibendum, for the beauty of the light and the stained glass.  The Hilton, Park Lane, for the views across London. Dins by Santi Toura, Majorca, for his incredible food.  Three words to describe the future of hospitality Expanding, levelling, joyful. 

Dallas County Judge Candidate Lauren Davis talks with Host and Education Activist Lynn Davenport about her vision for supporting our community with her role as county judge. People are tired of divisive politics and done with the elite ruling class, and Lauren brings her down-to-earth, family-centered, business experience to this role for, as she puts  it, 'a complete corporate turn-around.' It's important to understand that operating our counties takes a particular skill set. The job is not to 'keep us safe', it's to ensure we are following the laws designed to protect our right to protect ourselves. As the owner or CEO, Lauren knows that approaching challenges with sweeping mandates without taking into consideration the hourly employees and ethical questions that people in service-based industries are used to, is hurtful at the least. Lauren discusses the scenarios that preceded her run for this position, and in the process reveals her deep understanding of our governing civil rights under the Constitution.  Go to https://Davis4Dallas.com.

The next morning she was found murdered in Flat 7 at 32 Westbourne Terrace, a flat she shared with her husband Ernest.Ernest would claim he last saw Ruby alive as she entered a taxi with an unidentified man. Seven hours later, he would stumble across the body of his wife having been brutally murdered in her bed.As her pimp who was flat broke, the only other person with a key to the flat and a laughable alibi that she was due to meet a man no-one had seen who he knew only as ‘the bearded man', as the Police's chief suspect, Ernest was questioned on suspicion of her murder.

With over fifty restaurants, multiple Michelin stars and innumerable celebrity fans, Wolfgang Puck is one of the world's most famous chefs and global restauranteurs. Born in Austria, he began cooking alongside his mother who was a chef, before starting his formal chef training at just 14 years old, quickly going on to cook at some of France's best restaurants. But, it wasn't an easy childhood, and Wolfgang is incredibly honest about the abusive relationship he had to endure with his step father at home, and how that has shaped who he is today, and where he still can't bring himself to travel to as a result.It was far away from Austria, in Los Angeles, California, where Wolfgang really made a name for himself, garnering the attention of the Hollywood elite, arguably becoming the world's first ‘celebrity chef' and spearheading a revolution of Californian cuisine with his flagship restaurant, Spago. For over thirty years he has also been the official caterer of the Oscars, lining the stomachs of every gong hungry nominee, and he was even awarded his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I just had to walk in. Who puts a jet in the front window of an office building in London's financial district? Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders podcast, teaching business owners, the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode word from our sponsor, which is well it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [BWS Heating & Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here with you alongside Stephen Semple, who shares amazing stories about businesses that start really small and do something just crazy, innovative to spark growth and then they become empires. And today you're going to share, are we... It seems like we're jumping the... Are we going straight into like private jets? Because that's not usually where we start with a business, right? It's usually mom and pop and you get some of the kids to work and the jets don't come along till a little later in the story. Stephen Semple: Yeah. We're going to be talking about a company called The Jet Business. Dave Young: The Jet Business. Stephen Semple: The Jet Business and they sell private jets. That's their business. Dave Young: Well, this is what we call a descriptive business title. Stephen Semple: That is a descriptive business title. It is. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So where I came across this, I was in London, England in the fall of 2021 and I was there speaking at a number of events. I was speaking at Oxford University, Cambridge University, the London Society of Medicine and the London Stock Exchange and I was staying near Hyde Park and the day I was speaking at the London Stock Exchange, I decided to get up early and walk to the exchange. It was about an hour's walk from where I was staying near Buckingham Palace over to the exchange and I'm walking along Park Lane, just beside Hyde Park and right at street level, I see this fuselage of a jet, you know, there's office buildings and there's kind of a retail level on the ground floor and there's this, what looks like a jet fuselage on the ground floor of this office building for this company called The Jet Business. Dave Young: Nowhere near an airport? Stephen Semple: This is blocks from Buckingham Palace in downtown London, right across the street from Hyde Park. Dave Young: Usually I expect people that sell jets to be, you know, located at an airport somewhere. Stephen Semple: Google it and look at the pictures. I'm going to also post some pictures on the website along with the notes on this so on the Empire Builders Podcast website so you can see some pictures. And since I do work with a private jet business here in Canada called Kreos Aviation, K-R-E-O-S Aviation so if you are in the market for a private jet, check them out, they're awesome. I decided that I would come back later in the week and drop in. I was like, what the heck is this? I couldn't at that point because I had my engagement so I was curious. Stephen Semple: So later in the week I walk into the lobby and I asked to be shown around and they were really awesome. I told them I work with a competitor in Canada, I'm in marketing. They were awesome. They were cool. They spent a whole bunch of time with me. So in the front of the office, right in ground floor, looking out at Park Lane, they recreated the fuselage of one of their jets and they set it up in a popular configuration so you can walk right into this fuselage, stand up in it, sit down, walk around, see what it's like and you can see this from the street. Stephen Semple: And here's what I found fascinating. If you think about it, their clients are really select, rich folks.
