Why do some men get rejected instantly while others naturally attract women—even without being rich, famous, or exceptionally handsome?In this candid conversation, Marquett speaks with a woman who reveals what actually catches her attention when a man approaches. They break down the biggest mistakes men make, including being overly persistent, invading a woman's personal space, leading with excessive compliments, having poor hygiene, and approaching without confidence or social awareness.They also discuss:* Why personality can outweigh height and income* What makes a woman approach a man first* Why being friendly, respected, and socially connected increases attraction* The difference between genuine confidence and desperate persistence* Why dating apps may not be the best place to meet quality women* How to start a natural conversation without sounding thirsty* Why listening, building rapport, and creating emotional connection matter* What women truly want from a long-term partnerThe central lesson is simple: stop treating attractive women like celebrities. Approach naturally, create genuine conversation, and give her a reason to connect with who you are—not just what you say.Do men struggle because women's standards are too high—or because their approach needs work?⸻

AI-Powered vs. AI-Native: What Mortgage Lenders Need to KnowYouTube DescriptionWhat is the difference between AI-powered mortgage technology and an AI-native mortgage platform—and does that distinction actually matter to lenders?In this episode of the Fintech Hunting Podcast, Michael Hammond sits down with Brianna Lin, co-founder of Copperlane AI, to examine what AI-native mortgage origination looks like in practice.AI-powered technology typically adds AI capabilities to an existing software product. AI-native technology places AI at the center of the workflow. But the label alone means nothing unless the technology can solve real operational problems, protect borrower information, support human judgment, and improve the mortgage experience.Brianna shares what Copperlane has learned from working directly with lenders and explains how AI can help mortgage professionals reduce repetitive administrative work while giving loan officers more time to focus on borrowers, relationships, and revenue-generating activity.In this conversation, you will learn:What separates AI-powered from AI-native mortgage technologyWhich parts of mortgage origination are most ready for automationWhy AI cannot repair a fundamentally broken workflowWhere automation should stop and human oversight should beginHow lenders can evaluate AI beyond time savingsWhy audit trails, security, compliance, and borrower-data protection matterHow to build employee trust and manage AI adoptionWhich internal AI use cases lenders should evaluate firstWhat questions lenders should ask before selecting an AI technology partnerThe biggest question is not whether AI is coming to mortgage. It is whether lenders will use it to automate outdated processes—or rethink how work gets done.This episode is for mortgage executives, operations leaders, technology teams, loan officers, and anyone responsible for evaluating or implementing AI in mortgage origination.Chapters00:00 Introduction00:34 Brianna Lin's path into mortgage technology02:24 What mortgage origination is ready to reimagine03:53 AI-powered versus AI-native technology06:04 Why AI cannot fix a broken workflow07:06 Where automation should end09:42 Measuring AI beyond time savings11:45 Change management and employee trust13:49 The best first AI use cases for lenders15:59 How AI can change the loan officer's work17:29 Connecting with Brianna and CopperlaneSubscribe to the Fintech Hunting Podcast for candid conversations with the founders, executives, and innovators shaping the future of mortgage, fintech, financial services, and artificial intelligence.###Michael Hammond, Founder of NexLevel Advisors, is the leading fractional CMO in mortgage and mortgage technology, specializing in AI-powered growth strategy and audience development.

Commercial real estate has entered a new era where execution, partnership, and long-term thinking have become the industry's greatest competitive advantages.In commercial real estate, everyone talks about capital. Not enough people talk about partnership.That's what makes the relationship between DLC and Temerity Strategic Partners different.Recorded from DLC's new media studio in Elmsford, New York, this special episode of Retail Retold features guest host Adam Ifshin, Founder and CEO of DLC, in conversation with Bruce Cohen, Founder and Co-CEO of Temerity Strategic Partners.Together, they explore how today's higher interest rate environment has reshaped commercial real estate, shifting the advantage from financial engineering to operational excellence. Bruce explains why Temerity was built to partner with proven operators rather than simply invest in real estate, while Adam shares the operator's perspective on creating long-term value through disciplined execution, relationships, and relentless focus on cash flow.The conversation goes beyond the numbers. Adam and Bruce discuss how their partnership evolved from mutual skepticism into deep trust, why alignment between operators and capital partners has never been more important, and how culture, leadership, and succession planning have become meaningful competitive advantages.The market will continue to change. But the firms that outperform won't simply have access to capital. They'll have the right partners, the right people, and the discipline to execute when it matters most.Because capital can always find another deal.Finding the right partner is much harder.What You'll HearWhy today's market rewards value creation over financial engineeringWhat sophisticated capital looks for in an operatorWhy retail remains one of the strongest sectors in commercial real estateHow the DLC–Temerity partnership was builtWhy culture, leadership, and execution drive long-term valueThe qualities that define companies built to lastChapters01:43 — Welcome to the new studioAdam Ifshin introduces Retail Retold's new podcast studio and welcomes Bruce Cohen.03:06 — From capital allocator to operator advocateBruce explains why decades in capital markets led him to believe operators create the real value.05:30 — Why Temerity existsThe entrepreneurial journey behind launching Temerity Strategic Partners.10:07 — Solving operators' biggest capital challengeBruce explains the GP capital model and why operators need more than money.15:14 — Why retail rose to the topHow Temerity's research process identified retail as one of the strongest sectors.21:09 — What capital misunderstood about retailBruce shares how DLC changed his perspective on leasing, cash flow, and value creation.23:51 — Why DLC became the partnerThe process that turned skepticism into conviction.28:28 — What culture revealedBruce explains what stood out after meeting the entire DLC leadership team.34:56 — Three traits of elite operatorsBruce's framework for identifying firms built for long-term success.39:04 — Building businesses that outlast their foundersA discussion about succession, the next generation, and creating enduring companies.42:13 — When business becomes real partnershipHow a capital relationship evolved into a lasting friendship.47:23 — Closing thoughtsAdam reflects on the partnership and wraps up the conversation.

Send us Fan MailIn the explosive series finale of this arc (Episode 266 of Werewolf the Podcast: A Serial (Killer) Drama), Fairy Foxglove delivers a chilling, unhinged monologue about the death of belief, the kidnapping of children's belief factories, and her vengeful transformation from a creature of wonder into a sadistic killer.

Watch (or listen) as Wil/Fen the giant black werewolf charges in, the Wing Commander and Lady Luck join the fray, horror kittens rampage, and swords fly in a brutal, darkly hilarious climax. Featuring Foxglove bisected, the collection of the mysterious Law of the Rings (via Amazombies), and Wil's naked demand for more murder—this episode blends supernatural horror, fairy mythology, Hell politics, sharp British banter, and over-the-top violence with laugh-out-loud absurdity. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy audio dramas, horror comedy like What We Do in the Shadows or Good Omens, werewolf stories, Neil Gaiman-style myths, and chaotic supernatural battles.

Here is something most of us have never been told: falling in love was never supposed to be easy, and the fact that it hasn't been isn't a character flaw. It's a design problem. Your biology may be working against you. Your cultural programming works against you. But, more than anything, the list you've been carrying around of what you want in a partner is almost certainly pointing you in the wrong direction.Bela Gandhi is a dating coach and the founder of Smart Dating Academy, where she has helped thousands of people find lasting relationships. She was a longtime dating expert on Good Morning America and the Steve Harvey Show and built her methodology after realizing that love, like anything else worth doing, benefits from a system.What you'll explore in this conversation:Why 74% of third marriages end in divorce, and what that tells us about how most people approach finding a partnerThe "elevator people" exercise that reveals what you actually need in a relationship, and why it almost never matches your dream listHow biology, attachment patterns, and cultural messaging conspire to make us fall for the wrong people, again and againWhat highly accomplished, independent women often get wrong in the dating world, and what to do about it insteadWhy attraction can grow rather than just appear, and how pacing changes everythingIf you've been wondering whether love is still possible for you at this stage of life, Bela's answer is clear. She's seen too many people find it at 50, 60, and beyond to believe otherwise.You can find Bela at: Website | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sitting down with seven-time New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler to talk about something most of us have felt but never quite had words for: the particular loneliness that arrives in the middle of a full life, when the relationships that used to hold you steady are all being renegotiated at once, and the rituals that helped people move through moments like these for thousands of years have largely disappeared.

The schedules. The bedtimes.And she feels lonely in marriage—even when he's home.Cass and Kathryn Morrow validate the mental load… but they also say the part most marriage content won't:if she's been carrying it for 13 years, she's also enabled it for 13 years.In this episode of The ‘NEW' Marriage, you'll learn why wives feel alone, how resentment builds invisibly, and how to rebuild partnership without contempt, blame, or “babysitter language.”What we coverThe mental load is real (and it starts before she opens her eyes)Why offside comments (“I'm tired, I need help”) aren't a real conversationThe difference between asking a babysitter vs building a partnerThe enabling loop: redoing it when he does it wrong teaches him he's off the hookSaying “it's OK” when it isn't (how resentment stacks silently)Why contempt can't create change (especially with a man who already feels worthless)Kathryn's influence framework: “I love you—and I'm doing this whether you do it or not”The close: if you could influence negative, you can influence positive

Ep. #810 | Most men approach masturbation on autopilot. Even guys who've moved into a mindful edging practice often skip the one step that can have a big impact what they actually get out of it: setting an intention.In this episode, I break down two distinct paths your edging practice can take... and why understanding the difference is a game changer.Edge for power, and you build libido, strengthen erections, and transmute serious energy into the rest of your life.Edge for stamina, and you build the control that transforms what's possible with a partner.The mechanics for each are almost opposite. Most guys are unknowingly doing some hybrid that effectively delivers neither.We get into:Why intention is one of the most underused tools in a man's life — and how your automatic mechanism is always working, with or without your directionThe specific stroke, pelvic floor engagement, and awareness placement for edging for powerWhy relaxation (not control) is the real key to stamina — and the stimulation shift that actually translates to lasting longer with a partnerThe small change to how you stroke that more closely mirrors partner sex (and why it matters more than you'd think)How to test your edges without going over themWhether you're brand new to mindful edging or refining a practice you've had for years, this one will sharpen how you show up to every session.Inquiries: contact@holisticalpha.com

It is paradise.Desperate to regain control, Belphastus unleashes his next weapon: empathy. Unfortunately, he delivers it as a giant white balloon tied to the werewolf's tail. What follows is supernatural chaos, dark comedy, emotional symbolism, Amazombie delivery zombies, and one very confused ancient wolf trying to destroy a floating concept.Meanwhile, Lucifer, Fate, Astaroth, Father McKenzie, and the others watch from the drawing room as the game collapses around Belphastus. By the end, the werecat Vaunt is released — and Belphastus discovers that insulting the Devil and Fate in the same room has consequences.Perfect for fans of werewolf podcasts, supernatural horror comedy, Lucifer stories, Hell mythology, dark fantasy audio drama, absurd horror fiction, and character-driven fantasy chaos.Go find all things Jim Maerk at the Old Man's PodcastBooks by Fenrir ThorvaldsenAuthors' page on Amazon.https://amzn.to/3OJkzD0The Werewolf's Story by Fenrir Thorvaldsenhttps://amzn.to/4aX18xP Books by Gregory Alexander-SharpAuthors' page on Amazonhttps://amzn.to/4cTtf3CIl Lupo by Gregory Alexander-Sharphttps://amzn.to/4aZyCvABuy us a coffee at this link right here:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/WerewolfwilGrendel Press, our horror genre partnerThe best indie house publishers of horror in the blooming worldhttps://grendelpress.com/Grendel's very own cool Podcast.https://grendelpress.com/sinister-soup.

Part I: AI and the Future of HospitalityEvery hospitality operator is asking the same question right now: what does AI actually mean for my business? Marc Lotenberg, founder of Dorsia, has a clear thesis: the operators who will define the next era of hospitality are not the ones who chase the technology, but the ones who double down on the art, the craft, and the magic that no algorithm can replicate.In Part 1 of this episode, Marc shares why AI will finally deliver the hyper-personalized, frictionless experience that modern luxury has always promised, how it will change everything from the kitchen to the moment a guest walks out the door, and why the pace of that disruption is arriving far faster than most people in the industry expect.This episode is made possible in partnership with Dorsia. To get access to Dorsia's curation of impossible tables and cultural events, download the app and use code THESTANZA.This interview was filmed at Cafe Carmellini in New York.Part II: Early Conviction: Investing in Aman and the Future of Luxury HospitalityJonathan Goldstein is the founder and CEO of Cain International, a real estate investment and operating company managing over $14 billion in assets across luxury residential, hospitality, sports, and entertainment. Cain was formed in partnership with Todd Boehly and Eldridge Industries, built on a shared conviction that gateway cities and branded experiential real estate represented a generational investment opportunity.Cain's real estate portfolio spans some of the most scrutinized assets in luxury hospitality. At the center of it is One Beverly Hills, a $5 billion, 17.5-acre mixed-use development flagged by Aman in the heart of Beverly Hills. Jonathan also co-led the $900 million investment into Aman Group alongside Saudi PIF, subsequently partnering with Mubadala Capital to finance the brand's expansion. Other assets in the portfolio include Six Senses Courchevel, Raffles Boston, the Delano Miami, and a stake in the Delano brand in partnership with Ennismore & Accor. Cain was investing in luxury and experiential real estate long before the pandemic made the thesis obvious to the broader market.I worked on One Beverly Hills for Jonathan at Cain, which gives this conversation a level of access and specificity that is rarely present in interviews at this level of the industry.Interview Highlights:Approach to risk and creating an asymmetrical outcome in businessThe story behind the Aman investment opportunityWhat sets Aman apart from the restWhat it takes to earn the trust of sovereign wealth fundsHow Cain assembled the One Beverly Hills siteThe buyer profile of Aman Residences in Beverly HillsDeveloping other luxury projects: Six Senses Courchevel & Raffles BostonRepositioning the Delano brand & Miami hotelJonathan's approach to choosing a hotel management partnerThe personalization problem luxury hospitality has yet to solveIf you enjoyed this episode, you'll also enjoy reading The Stanza's Friday weekly newsletter.

In this episode, I'm sitting down in New York with the incredible Lindsey Metselaar, host of We Met at Acme, for a real, unfiltered conversation about dating, relationships, and what actually happens when you move from finding your person… to building a life with them. We talk about everything, from the mindset that helped Lindsey meet her husband, to the truth about modern dating (especially for high-achieving women), and what no one prepares you for when it comes to marriage and motherhood. This is one of those conversations that will challenge you, ground you, and remind you of what truly matters when it comes to creating a healthy, secure relationship.Inside this episode:Why your dating mindset and self-worth are everything when it comes to attracting a healthy, aligned partnerThe truth about choosing the right partner, not just for love, but for long-term compatibility and future family lifeWhat really happens in relationships after kids, including the importance of communication, repair, and realistic expectationsThis episode is your reminder that the relationship you desire isn't built on luck, it's built on self-awareness, intentionality, and choosing someone who can truly meet you where you are.And if you're in a season of dating or feeling frustrated with your relationship patterns, I want you to hear this: the right relationship will add to your life, it will not complete it. You are already whole.Connect with Lindsey:Follow Lindsay for more honest dating and relationship advice:Instagram: @lindzmetzhttps://www.instagram.com/lindzmetz/Instagram: @wemetatacmehttps://www.instagram.com/wemetatacme/Podcast: We Met at Acmehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-met-at-acme/id1300757042Website:https://www.wemetatacme.com/about✨ Ready to do the deeper work and finally create the secure, aligned relationship you deserve?I'd love to support you inside my Private 1:1 Coaching Program where we help you rewire your attachment style, break unhealthy dating patterns, and step into your most confident, secure self.Spots are extremely limited.
