P.T. Barnum realized very quickly that entertainment is currency and was one of the first to use outdoor mass media. 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. Steven Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Steven’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a 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. [Tommy Cool A/C & Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here and alongside Steven Semple. And if you were going to tell what Steven’s role is in this and what my role is in this, if we were going to use a theme that revolved around today’s topic, it would be Steven is the ringmaster in center ring. Stephen Semple: That’s where you’re going? Okay. Dave Young: And I’m like the chief clown driving the clown car because that’s where I’d rather be. We’re going to talk about Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey. Are we just talking about P.T. Barnum? Stephen Semple: We’re going to talk about P.T. Barnum because that’s really the origin of all of this is. Dave Young: P.T. Barnum. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: I mean, what a guy. And I’ve never read a biography or anything, but what I know is, I’m guessing that he maybe invented the three-ring circus, but it’s the kind of thing where, man, to me, what he invented was just constant distraction. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Right? Like you go to a three-ring circus, it’s just going to be you’re going to be constantly distracted because you can’t see everything that happens in a three-ring circus. Stephen Semple: It’s true. Dave Young: And so there’s so many examples. We can talk about those. I’ll let you get going because I would just talk about all this stuff. Stephen Semple: Well, here’s the interesting thing. There’s a lot of historians who believe that his was the first use of mass outdoor advertising in America. Dave Young: Okay. That, I believe. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: That he really invented the use of that as a medium. Couple of interesting things he went through. So his full name is Phineas Taylor Barnum, and he was born in Bethel, Connecticut in 1810. And he wasn’t born wealthy or talented or connected, but he kind of knew that attention was a form of currency. And it’s kind of interesting when we think about the world today with social media and things along that lines, attention is a form of currency. Dave Young: Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And by the age of 12, he was selling snacks, lottery tickets, anything he could do to make a buck. And he was quoted as saying, “I’m a showman by profession and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me,” right? Like he just basically saw those things. So his first commercial breakthrough, and it was also pretty controversial, was promoting Joice Heth, a Black woman, that he marketed as George Washington’s 161-year-old nurse. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Guess what? It was not true. Dave Young: Well, so what year was this? When was this? Stephen Semple: 1835. Dave Young: Good grief. 1835. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. But, but he was this relentless promoter who believed if there’s no story, there’s no audience. So the next thing he did was what he called the American Museum, and this started in 1841, ran from 1841 to 1865. And basically in 1841, he bought Scudder’s American Museum, and he renamed it Barnum’s American Museum in New York. And basically, again, this is considered one of the very first modern mass entertainment facilities, and here’s what he did. He exhibited things of science, oddity, theater, stunts. There was new attractions weekly, so people had to come back. And there was live performances like the General Tom Thumb, magicians, and the first use of mass outdoor advertising, went all around New York City putting up billboards, pasting billboards up all over the city. And on peak days, it’s reported that on peak days, he drew 15,000 people into a single building without electricity, AC, or cars to transport them around. 15,000 people. Dave Young: Boy. That’s amazing. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And Barnum would talk about people don’t want facts. People want astonishment. So for 25 years, this museum was really the epicenter in America for entertainment until it burned down in 1865. And he lost everything when it burned down. He built a second one. Five years later, it burned down, right? But Barnum realized he was going to reinvent himself again, this time as a public speaker, giving lectures. He did lectures on success and temperance of business. He wrote the book, The Art of Money-Getting. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. Stephen Semple: In 1871, his biggest, final act was at age 61… So think about this. This is the 19th century, age 61, our age, he decides he’s going to launch the circus, P.T. Barnum’s Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan and Hippodrome. Dave Young: There’s nothing easy about that. Stephen Semple: Right. And this later merged with James Bailey’s to become Barnum and Bailey’s Greatest Show on Earth. Now, here’s the interesting thing that they did. So yeah, it was this massive traveling menagerie. They had to have trains custom-built to move elephants and equipment, and they had the world’s biggest circus tent and performers from all around the world. But the part that’s also really interesting is they had a team of people, who would travel into the towns ahead of them, and they would put up billboards, posters, promote the crap out of it, carnival barkers, all that other thing, and to the degree where even the setting up of the tents became a spectacle. Because, of course, they would use the elephants to raise the tent, and people would gather so they would hear so much about it. People would gather the day that it was coming into town to watch the tents and everything be put up. And he recognized that was part of the show. Dave Young: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Stephen Semple: Part of the show was long before they got there, and then they’re arriving, and then there’s the show, the buildup of all that energy and excitement to the show. And this was the other part I love about. So he would talk about you must capture the attention before you can persuade. So we talk about his Wizard of Ads partners. What is Roy Williams, founder of the Wizard of Ads, say? “Entertainment is the currency used to buy the time and the attention of a busy and distracted consumer.” P.T. Barnum, “You must capture attention before you persuade.” Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and, trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: P.T. Barnum, “You must capture attention before you persuade.” Dave Young: Mm-hmm. Yup. Stephen Semple: “People remember stories, not features,” he would talk about that, and, “Curiosity is the strongest human emotion,” right? Dave Young: I love it. Yeah. Stephen Semple: These were the things that he talked about. But again, there would be this buildup before he arrived into town. And what’s really interesting, this idea, I did a variation of this idea when I was in university. So when I was in university, I had a business with two business partners. We ran a mobile DJ business, did really super well. We did all the maritime provinces. We did over a million dollars a year in sales doing this. But what do you do in the summertime? Dave Young: What do you do in the summertime? Stephen Semple: Because what we were doing is we were doing, like we weren’t doing weddings, we were doing high school and university dances, so there was nothing for us to do. But what we discovered was, I’m Canadian, what we discovered was every little town in Canada has a hockey arena that’s not being used in the summertime. Dave Young: There you go. So you put on a dance. Stephen Semple: Right. So we would rent the arena for next to nothing. We would put on a dance, and we would charge a gate. So how do we promote it? We had a team of people going into the town a couple of weeks before we showed up with the show, putting up billboards, posters, and talking to people in a town about this show, exactly what P.T. Barnum did, an advanced troop to build excitement for the show that’s coming to town. Dave Young: Yeah. I love it. Stephen Semple: Yeah. It works so well that we actually ended up doing a joint marketing thing after a few years with Pepsi. Dave Young: Very cool. Very cool. Stephen Semple: But it’s that idea, create excitement, create all this stuff, advance in town, and tensions required. Stories are powerful. Curiosity is the most powerful thing. Attention is a currency. Dave Young: Yeah, absolutely true. And when we started the episode, I said, “Oh, he invented the three-ring…” I don’t think he invented it. He knew. I think when I hear the story that he didn’t start Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey till he was 61- Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: … he’s just applying all the things he knew. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Right? He knew. And I mean, I’ve even heard Roy talk about this. When you talk about going, sending an advanced team to say, “You’re going to be amazed. It’s going to be great. It’s going to be wonderful. You won’t believe your eyes,” you can take that back to… One example is John the Baptist going ahead of Jesus saying, “He’s the Son of God. He’s going to be amazing,” right? But I think you could probably go back even farther. I doubt that there was a Roman circus or gladiator event that didn’t have somebody- Stephen Semple: Oh, God. Hawk it. Dave Young: …screaming about it for weeks ahead. Stephen Semple: I’m sure. I’m sure. That’s a great observation. Dave Young: And then about the same time as this, one of my fellow Nebraskans, Buffalo Bill Cody, was putting together his Wild West Show. And it was actually P.T. Barnum that gave him the advice of taking it to Europe. Stephen Semple: Oh, is that right? Dave Young: Because a taste of the Old West will astonish Europeans. Stephen Semple: That’s really interesting. Dave Young: Right? They’ve read about it. They’ve heard about it, but now you bring these cowboys and rough riders and… Stephen Semple: But what’s really interesting about that is that speaks to his comment, about Barnum’s comment about curiosity being the most powerful emotion. Because taking a show about the Wild West at that time to Europe, of course, people are going to be curious. What’s a cowboy really look like? Dave Young: Yeah. Well, if you do that in Western Nebraska, it’s like, “Okay. Well, so it’s just a bunch of the local town folk got together and are putting on a little rodeo. We’ve seen that.” But people in Europe haven’t. Stephen Semple: And it’s funny, is it Culver’s? Culver’s. That was one of the ones- Dave Young: The hamburger place? Stephen Semple: No, not the- Dave Young: No. Stephen Semple: I’m drawing a brain on the restaurant, but it was one that did the barbecue. And remember he started- Dave Young: Huh. Stephen Semple: … in Minnesota, rather than starting a barbecue place in Texas. And part of it is it would be different and whatnot, but I also wonder if there would’ve been a little bit of curiosity in Minnesota. “Boy, I wonder what really good barbecue tastes like.” Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Right? Anyway, it’s just interesting that that parallels. But my favorite, my favorite quote of P.T. Barnum’s, and again, who knows whether this is really what he said, but it was one of the ones I came across, and I really liked it. “Without promotion, something terrible happens. Nothing.” Dave Young: Oh, wow. Yeah, nothing. Stephen Semple: Just love that. “Without promotion-“ Dave Young: Ain’t that the truth? Stephen Semple: “… something terrible happens. Nothing.” Dave Young: Mm-hmm. He’s exactly right. Stephen Semple: It’s pretty cool what he did and where his innovation was. And then again, this whole idea of creating interest and excitement ahead of the event. Dave Young: Yeah. Well, I’m glad to hear this story. Thank you for bringing the P.T. Barnum story to the Empire Builders. And that circus went on for a long time. I think it only recently closed down in the last 10, 15 years, something like that. Stephen Semple: What’s really too bad about it is one of the reasons why it was shut down was kind of a lot of things with the animals, and they just didn’t seem to be able to modernize it. So you know how we often talk about look around the world? Right in front of their noses, at the time they were shutting down, right in front of their noses was a methodology that would work, and it was Cirque du Soleil. Cirque du Soleil is just a modernized circus. Dave Young: Yeah. There’s no circus animals, but there’s- Stephen Semple: There’s performers. Dave Young: … performers and a story, a storyline weaved into the whole thing. Stephen Semple: Huge storyline. Huge storyline. And, in fact, when you go to a Cirque du Soleil, the show starts before the show starts. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Well, and I would say that another example of that in the constant distraction, constant entertainment is if you follow Banana Ball, Jesse Cole has built this phenomenon that, I’ve been to one and, again, the entertainment starts before the game. You can actually wander around and meet players and get… They have like a parade that they come in. It’s crazy, right? It’s like a circus parade. Stephen Semple: Fun. Dave Young: But it’s constant distraction, and it’s like a circus with a baseball game in the middle of it. Stephen Semple: Nice. Yeah. Dave Young: So lots of lessons to be learned from studying P.T. Barnum. Stephen Semple: And the folks that were running P.T. Barnum at the end, if they had just had their eyes open, they could’ve seen how to do the pivot and how to make it work. Dave Young: Yeah, just- Stephen Semple: And look, and people love nostalgia right now. It could’ve been huge. Dave Young: Well, and Cirque du Soleil has taken their show on the road. Stephen Semple: They do. Dave Young: They did. Stephen Semple: They absolutely do. Dave Young: Yeah. They bring tents to cities all over. Stephen Semple: Yep. They sure do, and I love going to them. Dave Young: So, well, thank you again, Steven, for bringing us P.T. Barnum. Stephen Semple: All right. Awesome. Thanks, David. Dave Young: Thanks for listening to the podcast. Please share us.

Tim and Audrey are back with the second half of their Disneyland weekend recap! They kick things off with some Disney news — Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue gets a closure reprieve until 2027, and what that might mean for Avatar Land. Then they dive into their California Adventure day, which happened to fall on the park's 25th anniversary AND Super Bowl Sunday (a combo they did not see coming). From commemorative maps and Animation Academy to a surprise Phineas & Ferb connection with the show's co-creator, the family packed a lot in. Plus: they witnessed the Super Bowl MVP cavalcade on Main Street, had a standout meal at Pym's Test Kitchen, and capped the trip with their very first character breakfast at Storytellers Café — and why they're making it a new tradition. As always, four kids, big feelings, and plenty of Disney magic (and chaos) along the way.I
The siblings discuss that time Phineas and Ferb got reeeeally small (not the submarine one...the one where Baljeet got in the fly). Then they talk about Baljeet's attempts to woo his old friend Mishti. She's a girl. Big week for Baljeet, huh? AND a big week for Candace Party! Because we also briefly cover the new, celebrity-centric "Cartoonified" shorts.

Reading the Old Testament, you can find lots of history about God and how He deals with people. And when you do that, it could be just a bunch of interesting facts. Or, it could be more. Today, Pastor Dan unpacks an incident where Phineas* takes care of a sin problem within the camp of Israel. But it's not just a history lesson. It points to Jesus Christ, Who is the sin solution for all people today who will accept Him. Your faith in Christ comes from a long lineage of God's history. Hold to it gratefully and diligently.
Episode Notes Maaaan, what a great episode, right? The siblings are back to talk about confusing time travel logic...and one of the highlights of the incredible second season of Phineas and Ferb. Stacy's the President of Uruguay, Isabella is married to *someone*, and maaaaybe none of it ever happens? This all happens because the boys didn't take Baljeet back to dinosaur times. ** Email us at: CandacePartyPodcast@gmail.com TikTok: @CandacePartyPodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@candacepartypodcast?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Instagram: @CandacePartyPod https://www.instagram.com/candacepartypod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Well, back to my closet!
The boys are back! After contract discussions that got way too heated, long-time producer Phineas has departed from the show. He will be remembered for his contentious relationship with Graham and for his undying loyalty to Eric. In the end, hate trumped love, and Phineas walked away after not being able to convince Graham that his services required payment. We wish Phineas luck and thank him for finally releasing the recording of his last LTB episode. This episode was recorded the Monday after the Buffalo's heartbreaking loss to Denver. The dynamic duo will be back sometime this week to weigh in on all the latest news surrounding the organization. Go Bills!

Actor Todd Stashwick's IMDb page is miles long, with appearances in Laws & Orders OG and SVU, Angel, Buffy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Riches, Phineas and Ferb, and Star Trek: Picard and the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ series VisionQuest. He's also a Bigfoot enthusiast. Not a big foot enthusiast, a fan of the cryptozoological creature also known as Sasquatch. Alert followers of host John Moe know that he shares this interest as well, and deeply. John and Todd compare notes on what is actually a soothing activity: poring over YouTube videos, reading first person accounts, and speculating on whether the “Bigfoot as transdimensional traveler” angle is possible or just a little too far. At various points in this interview, John gets a bit too excited about Bigfoot and, remembering what our show is, producer Gabe Mara calms him down.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?Email us at: sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsBluesky @sleepwithcelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Bluesky @JohnMoeJohn's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback._________________________________________________________________________Join | Maximum FunIf you like one or more shows on MaxFun, and you value independent artists being able to do their thing, you're the perfect person to become a MaxFun monthly member.

Holy Indignation, Hanukkah, and Cleansing the Temple of Your Heart | KIB 509 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake share a timely word about holy indignation, the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah), and the urgent need to cleanse the temple of our hearts in these perilous last days. Mary Lou begins by sharing what she continues to see in prayer—a mushroom cloud and the possibility of suitcase nuclear devices slipped into America through open borders. Rather than yielding to fear, the Lakes call the remnant to focused intercession, asking God to expose and thwart every hidden plot and scheme of the enemy. From there, Mary Lou walks through the story of the Maccabees, their guerrilla warfare tactics, and their divinely inspired strategies that turned weakness into strength. The Lakes connect this to our own call to stand against Mystery Babylon, fight spiritual battles with God-given wisdom, and cleanse the temple of compromise in our lives. Dr. Lake then unpacks the biblical and prophetic meaning of Hanukkah, the desecration and rededication of the temple, and the way this foreshadows the abomination of desolation and the rise of the Antichrist. He also addresses biblical dietary laws, the temple of the Holy Spirit, and how Mystery Babylon uses "strange fire" and unclean practices to defile believers. The heart of this episode is a powerful teaching on holy indignation—what it is, what it is not, and how it differs from carnal anger and internet "bickering." Using examples like Moses, Phineas, Nehemiah, Jesus cleansing the Temple, Paul, David and Goliath, Elijah, and Samson, Dr. Lake shows how Spirit-led indignation is rooted in God's holiness, love, and covenant faithfulness—not personal ego or offense. Mary Lou then shares from her own journey of healing as a survivor of severe trauma and programming, encouraging those who feel too broken or disqualified that Jesus can cleanse, heal, and reclaim every part of the temple. She models how to stand in your God-given authority, reject what the enemy programmed, and insist that every part of your being belongs to Jesus alone. The episode closes with a call for the remnant to walk in the fear of the LORD, as described in Malachi 3:16–18, allowing God to write our conversations and responses in His book of remembrance and to mark us as His treasured possession in the days ahead. If you've been beat down by your past, wounded by what calls itself "the church," or confused by the anger and division you see online, this message will help you discern between fleshly outrage and true holy indignation that burns away apathy, compromise, and tolerance of sin.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have been dominating headlines with a cascade of deeply personal and professional developments just in the past few days, painting the picture of a couple in both reflective and forward-moving moments. On October 4th, Timberlake took to Instagram Stories with a heartfelt anniversary tribute to Biel, marking 13 years of marriage with throwback photos and a loving caption—“My favorite person,” he called her, adding a cheeky, romantic snap of a kiss on Biel's cheek during a nature outing, reported by AOL Entertainment and confirmed by E News. Biel responded in kind, posting a simple but sincere “I love you” alongside a photo of Justin in Paris. What makes this anniversary especially notable is their public reconciliation in February 2025 after a brief separation, and the confirmation—via AOL Entertainment—that they have recently become engaged once again, igniting engagement rumors confirmed by multiple outlets. Family remains at Timberlake's core. He has been open about the joys and challenges of raising their two sons, Silas and Phineas, with Biel, who has been described by insiders to Us Weekly as a “superwoman” and pillar of strength—especially as Timberlake continues to navigate his highly publicized battle with Lyme disease. Timberlake revealed the diagnosis in a lengthy Instagram post at the end of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour this past July, candidly sharing the physical and emotional toll of the illness, but affirming that performing and family give him the drive to push forward. According to multiple sources close to the couple, Biel's unwavering support and their shared focus on family wellness have brought them even closer during this challenging chapter. Professionally, Timberlake's world tour wrapped earlier this year, but the music world is abuzz with rumors of an *NSYNC reunion. According to WEAR-TV, while there is strong interest from promoters and bandmates Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick, Timberlake has not engaged in talks for a potential 2026 arena tour—at least not yet. This comes after the group's 2023 reunion for the Trolls Band Together single “Better Place” and a high-profile MTV VMAs appearance, but the current chatter is that the tour could proceed even without him, a prospect that would undoubtedly shape his legacy and the band's future. On the business front, Timberlake's past investments are making news again, though not for positive reasons. GolfWRX recirculated reports that he took a multi-million dollar loss on the sale of his Memphis golf course, Mirimichi, a story first reported years ago but still discussed in the context of his broader financial portfolio. There are no recent updates on new business ventures, but his estimated net worth remains robust, reported around $175 million. Social media remains a key platform for Timberlake, who frequently shares both playful and poignant glimpses of his life with Biel and their boys. These posts—especially in light of his health struggles and recent re-engagement—are being closely watched by fans and media, underscoring how his personal narrative continues to evolve in real time. In sum, the past few days have brought a mix of celebration, vulnerability, and speculation for Justin Timberlake—personal milestones with Biel, ongoing health challenges, tantalizing hints of a musical reunion, and the enduring spotlight on his life as a family man, artist, and public figure. For more, fans are keeping eyes on Instagram and trusted entertainment outlets for the next twist in the Timberlake story.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
