The testimony of Gem Mutlu, Ana's former boss and family friend, led to numerous and forceful objections from the defense attorney, who argued that his use of terms like "marital issues" or "marital problems" was his own characterization or opinion, not the exact words Ana used. Hear the shocking details shared by Ana Walshe's bestfriend, Alissa Kirby, who recounts a conversation with Ana just days before her disappearance where Ana admitted she was "falling out of love" with Brian and felt she loved him "not as much anymore." Alissa also describes Ana as reaching a "breaking point" on December 29th, frustrated by the relationship, Brian's constant questioning of her love for him, and his possible attempts to delay his federal case. Learn about Brian Walshe's home confinement restrictions and the suspicious request for an extended Jan 1st window to drop off his mother—despite his mother not being present at the house on New Year's Eve.

In this week's solo episode, I'm diving into something many of us feel, but don't always say out loud holiday money anxiety. This season can be full of joy, nostalgia, and family connection, but it can also bring up guilt, pressure, overspending, and emotional triggers that hit our wallets hard. So today, I'm sharing honest reflections on the expectations we carry, the emotional weight of holiday giving, and how I personally navigate the overwhelm of gifting, family obligations, and wanting to "do enough" without draining my finances or my energy. I walk you through practical strategies for shifting your mindset, breaking old patterns, and giving yourself permission to rethink how you show up this season.  In this episode, I discuss: Guilt-free gifting: How to focus on intention instead of price tags, and ways to simplify gifts especially for kids who may value the moment more than the item itself. Setting family & personal boundaries: What to say when you want to keep things simple, stick to a budget, or opt out without shame. Overspending triggers: Why boredom, stress, nostalgia, and scarcity mindset push us to buy more and how to create friction to avoid impulse purchases. Reframing the season: How to shift from "stuff" to connection, small rituals, meaning, and presence. Planning ahead for next year: Using what you spent this season to set realistic expectations and savings goals for the future.

Why does planning a Hawaii trip feel like you're drowning in browser tabs and contradictory advice?Most travelers don't realize how overwhelming Hawaii planning gets until they're second-guessing every decision and comparing endless hotel reviews.

BONUS: Continuous Strategy Engineering—Beyond Waterfall Planning With Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel Strategy Professors Are Decades Behind "The professors of strategy have no clue as to what Evo is. They are locked in decades ago, waterfall mode."   Tom's analysis is stark: the people teaching strategy in business schools haven't undergone the same agile transformation that software development experienced. They still think in terms of 5-year plans that get tested at the end—a guaranteed recipe for discovering failure too late. The alternative? Decompose any large strategy into weekly value delivery steps. And if you think that's impossible, ask any AI to do it for you—it will produce 52 reasonable weekly increments in about a minute. Why OKRs Aren't Enough for Complex Systems "If you're doing small-scale stuff that OKRs were designed for, like planning your personal work 14 days hence, OKRs are wonderful. If you're designing the air traffic control system for Europe, they're just too simple."   Tom distinguishes between tools appropriate for personal productivity and those needed for complex organizational strategy. OKRs force some thinking, which is good, but they weren't designed for—and have never been adapted to—large-scale systems engineering. His paper "What is Wrong with OKRs?" documents roughly 100 gaps between simple OKRs and what robust value requirements actually require. Check out Tom Gilb's paper on what's wrong with OKR's and how to fix it.  The Missing Alignment Layer "We have no mental model for most of leadership about how you actually align people around clear vision."   Simon introduces the concept of a Hoshin-Kanri "sprinkler" system—imagine strategic clarity flowing from the top and misting over everyone's desk as alignment. Most organizations lack anything resembling this. They have Moses descending from expensive consultant retreats with tablets, but no continuous two-way flow of strategic information. The result? Teams work hard on things that don't matter while critical values go unaddressed. About Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel   Tom Gilb, born in the US, lived in London, and then moved to Norway in 1958. An independent teacher, consultant, and writer, he has worked in software engineering, corporate top management, and large-scale systems engineering. As the saying goes, Tom was writing about Agile before Agile was named. In 1976, Tom introduced the term "evolutionary" in his book Software Metrics, advocating for development in small, measurable steps. Today, we talk about Evo, the name Tom uses to describe his approach. Tom has worked with Dr. Deming and holds a certificate personally signed by him. You can listen to Tom Gilb's previous episodes here.    You can link with Tom Gilb on LinkedIn    Simon Holzapfel is an educator, coach, and learning innovator who helps teams work with greater clarity, speed, and purpose. He specializes in separating strategy from tactics, enabling short-cycle decision-making and higher-value workflows. Simon has spent his career coaching individuals and teams to achieve performance with deeper meaning and joy. Simon is also the author of the Equonomist newsletter on Substack.

Are you loving it? Send Ash a text! What if your business could feel steady instead of like a monthly rollercoaster? In this episode I walk you through my nervous-system-first profit planning, and how I map the year, choose what to sell (and when), and protect my creativity, energy, and peace while hitting my numbers. Today I'm sharing the exact quarterly profit planning process I use to grow my business and protect my nervous system. No more feast-or-famine energy. No more “I have to hit X this month or everything is falling apart.”We talk about why month-to-month planning keeps you dysregulated, how quarterly goals create actual ease, and the system I swear by — from mapping my annual intention down to quarterly numbers, to creating a 100-idea money list, to filtering everything through desire, capacity, and season.TOPICS & TANGENTS: • Why month-to-month planning spikes anxiety • The quarterly structure that keeps your business steady • How I map my annual goal into spacious quarterly targets • The 100-idea money list (possibility = regulation) • Desire, capacity & season: my simple decision-making filter • Building a business runway so you're not creating from panic • Planning in a way your body can actually holdPOINT OF THE STORY:Strategy only works if your nervous system can hold it. Sustainable profit isn't about perfect months… it's about rhythm, regulation, and a plan that supports the life you actually want.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Episode 158.

Episode 97 – Do More of What Works: How to Stop the Hamster Wheel and Grow on Purpose Are you exhausted from doing all the things in your business… but not really seeing the results you want? In this episode of How to Grow My Small Business, we're wrapping up 2025 with a straight-talking, faith-fueled strategy session on one simple idea: If you want different results, you have to do more of what works—and stop doing what doesn't. I share a powerful story Alex Hormozi told about a real estate agent who's making roughly $13,000 an hour from Facebook Lives (yes, really)… and the wildly simple advice he gave her to scale. Then we pull that principle into your business and walk through: How to identify what's actually working How to spot what's not working (even if you like doing it) How to evaluate every task through a simple “sell or serve” filter Why stewardship—not hustle—is the real growth strategy for Christian entrepreneurs If you're tired of running on the business hamster wheel and ready to act like the CEO and steward of your time, money, and gifts, this episode will give you the clarity (and the nudge) you need. In this episode, you'll learn:

What if planning your year could feel motivating, expansive, and actually fun? In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I'm preparing for 2026—mindset, strategy, rhythm, and the behind-the-scenes reality of being a mom, therapist, and entrepreneur all at once. I share the rituals, tools, and questions I use every year to plan intentionally, avoid burnout, and build a business and life that actually feel good. From reviewing revenue to mapping out launches to honoring your real-life capacity, this is the episode that will flip planning on its head and make you excited for what's ahead. This is my final solo episode of 2025, and I wanted it to be a powerful one. If planning usually stresses you out, let this episode be the mindset reset, the strategy spark, and the permission slip you've been needing. Topics Covered in this Episode: 3:29 - The planning mistakes I made early on (and what finally changed everything) 7:11 - How motherhood, capacity, and seasons actually shape your business success 10:57 - The must-run financial reports that tell you exactly how to plan 2026 13:37 - My launch-timing breakdown for both B2B and B2C therapists 16:25 - The three mantras guiding my entire 2026 strategy 22:48 - The "12-Week Year" mindset shift that can radically collapse your timelines 25:02 - How sprints (not marathons) keep you focused, energized, and out of burnout Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode of The Entrepreneurial Therapist.

As we step toward a brand-new year, my friend, I want to invite you into a different way of planning—one that doesn't rely on pressure, striving, or trying to figure everything out on your own.   The Bible gives us such beautiful principles for transition seasons, and when we apply them, it changes everything about how we walk into a new year. Instead of asking, “What should I do in 2026?” we get to ask, “Lord, what are You inviting me into?” That simple shift brings so much peace, clarity, and confidence.   In this video, I'll walk you through the three Scriptures that guide my own year-end process and show you how I sit with the Lord to hear His heart for the next season. It's practical, it's simple, and it's meant to draw you closer to Him.

Megan chats with Megan Flatt about how your hormone cycle affects your ability to focus and the simple shifts that let you work smarter, protect your brain and get bigger results by doing less. Megan Flatt is the founder of Let's Collective, a business strategy firm helping entrepreneurs achieve more revenue, time, and fulfillment—without the hustle. Megan is also the author of Focused: Reclaim Your Time, Ditch Overwhelm, and Do Less Better, where she blends research and practical strategies to help people do less, better. When she's not strategizing, Megan can be found with a stack of romance novels, a fresh set of office supplies and usually a latte. Learn more at letscollective.co This episode reframes productivity in a way that feels sane again. Megan explains what actually helps your brain focus, why multitasking backfires, and how to plan in cycles that match your energy and biology. She digs into the default mode network, the value of "done" definitions, and the three step planning framework she uses with CEOs. If your brain feels foggy or scattered, these tools will reset your entire approach. Key points discussed include: Tasks, projects and goals are different and clarity here prevents overwhelm. Define your container so your brain knows when work starts and ends. Default mode network time matters because your brain needs space to solve problems. Planning in 90 day cycles works and gives your ideas room to breathe. Hormones influence productivity so aligning your work with your cycle can change everything. Triggers help you focus whether it is headphones, a playlist or a specific workspace. Break tasks into small wins because dopamine drives momentum. Do less better and concentrate on the work that actually moves your business. Connect with Megan Flatt Website | Instagram

Many people make more money and somehow feel more afraid. Afraid to decide. Afraid to lose. Afraid to look foolish. Afraid to miss out. https://www.youtube.com/live/00ErZ7MiuEM This isn't a fringe problem. It's everywhere.And it's solvable. Bruce and I recorded this episode to hand you a simple tool you can use to reframe fear and build the kind of financial life that runs on clarity, certainty, and stewardship. Overcoming financial fear starts hereWhat Financial Fear Really IsMake Financial Fear Work For YouScarcity vs Abundance With MoneyWhy Typical Financial Planning Fuels AnxietyTraditional Planning Builds CertaintyPut Money Back In Its PlaceHow Media and Culture Feed FearThe Practical System To Overcome Financial FearTypical Planning vs Traditional PlanningTypical PlanningTraditional PlanningOvercoming Financial Fear: From scarcity to abundance – your next stepBuild certainty, not anxiety – listen in and take your next stepBook A Strategy CallFAQ – Overcoming Financial FearWhat causes financial fear?How do I overcome financial fear fast?What is the abundance mindset with money?Is money good or evil?Why does typical retirement planning increase anxiety?How do cash flowing assets reduce financial fear?How does whole life insurance help with financial fear?What is traditional financial planning? Overcoming financial fear starts here If you've ever hesitated before a money decision, second guessed yourself after signing the paperwork, or stayed stuck because the “what ifs” grew louder than your purpose, you've met financial fear. This article will help you: Understand what financial fear really is, and why even high net worth families feel it. Swap a scarcity mindset for an abundance mindset without pretending fear disappears. See why typical planning fuels anxiety and how traditional planning builds certainty. Put money back in its place as a neutral tool and elevate stewardship. Take practical steps today to move from reaction to intentional design. If fear has been in the driver's seat, it's time to move it to the passenger side and make it serve your mission. What Financial Fear Really Is Let's start at the root. Fear is not your enemy.  It's a God-given alarm for imminent danger. As Bruce says, fear can save your life when a car barrels toward you. You don't want to pause and philosophize. You jump. The problem is when that same survival response starts running your money decisions. You either freeze and hoard, or you sprint from shiny object to shiny object because you're afraid to miss out. Different behaviors. Same scarcity. I've watched fear show up in two common ways: Fear of running outThe miser mindset. White knuckles. No generosity. No strategic investment. Just “hold on or else.” Fear of missing outThe constant upgrader. Bigger house, better boat, newer thing. Always chasing, never satisfied. Both are scarcity. Neither is abundance. Abundance isn't reckless. It's not denial. It's a settled conviction that value creation is limitless, and that you can make wise, long range decisions because you are a producer, not just a consumer. Make Financial Fear Work For You The most successful people don't lack fear.They refuse to let fear set the agenda. They put emotions under the leadership of a renewed mind. They use fear as a prompt to prepare, to do the work, to practice courage, and to move anyway. Here's a quick loop Bruce and I use: Name the fear. Say it out loud. Interrogate it. What's the real risk, the real timeline, the real magnitude? Reframe it. What productive action can this fear fuel today? Act. Small, specific steps beat ruminating every time. Review. Talk to yourself like you talk to a friend. Record wins. Build evidence. Courage is a muscle.Train it. Scarcity vs Abundance With Money I like to picture a continuum with scarcity at the bottom and abundance at the top. On both ends of the bell curve, scarcity looks different but feels the same. On one end, scarcity hoards and hides. On the other, scarcity spends to soothe and signal. Abundance sits at the top and does something else entirely. It designs a system where money can be saved, used, enjoyed, replenished, and directed toward a bigger mission. It recognizes that money follows value, and value flows from serving people well. Abundance knows this truth: Money is neutral.It's a magnifier of the soul. Put money in the hands of a wise steward and it multiplies blessing. Put money in the hands of a fool and it multiplies damage. Money did not change the heart. It revealed it. This is why character formation, family culture, and clear guidance are not side notes in finance. They are the engine. Why Typical Financial Planning Fuels Anxiety Typical planning was built to end your productivity.Work until X. Stop. Spend down the pile. Hope you don't outlive it. Because the goal is “stop,” the math has to guess a thousand variables. Guess your lifespan. Guess returns. Guess inflation. Guess taxes. Run a Monte Carlo and call it “certainty.” It's not certainty. It's a string of guesses. When your entire strategy rests on projections you can't control, you feed fear. You start managing to the simulation instead of managing to your mission. You also fragment your financial life into compartments that don't talk to each other. Save a little here, speculate a little there, and pray it nets out. No wonder so many feel anxious. Traditional Planning Builds Certainty Traditional planning doesn't ask, “When can I stop being productive?”It asks, “How do I keep producing, stewarding, and compounding value for generations?” That one shift changes everything. Traditional planning prioritizes: Cash flowing assets over pure appreciationThink businesses and investments that spin off usable cash today and tomorrow. Liquidity and control so you can seize opportunitiesDry powder matters. Optionality reduces fear. Properly designed whole life insurance as a foundational assetGuaranteed cash value, contractual certainty, and a death benefit that refills the family bucket. This is family banking and a reliable backstop that turns risk setbacks into recoverable chapters. Integrated estate design that includes guidanceA will and trust are the shell. A string family culture, Memorandum of Trust, clear roles, and love letters are the substance. Don't just transfer assets. Transfer wisdom and intent. A producer mindsetWe don't retire from purpose. We refine it. We build the family enterprise and train the next generation to steward it. Traditional planning removes guesswork where you can and embraces guarantees where they exist. That is how you replace fear with confidence. Put Money Back In Its Place Many people carry a hidden belief that money is bad. Movies preach it. Social feeds imply it. And if you've absorbed “money is evil,” you will sabotage your own success and feel guilty about every win. I love the picture Bruce learned on the football field. Football didn't build character. It revealed it. Money is the same. It shows what is already true in your heart and in your habits. When money is your god, it runs your life and ruins your relationships. When God is first and people are second and you include yourself in the command to love your neighbor as yourself, money becomes a powerful means to bless, build, and multiply good. Order brings peace. Peace calms fear. How Media and Culture Feed Fear Fear sells. Whether it's the markets, politics, or the latest doom headline, your attention is the product. If you feed fear 24 hours a day, fear will set your financial thermostat. We do something very simple in our family. We curate inputs. We stay informed without bathing in anxiety. Perspective is your most valuable asset. Guard it. The Practical System To Overcome Financial Fear Let's translate this into steps you can take this week. Audit your mindset.Write down three places fear is currently driving your decisions. Name whether it's fear of running out or fear of missing out. Clarify your long-range vision.Lift your eyes. Where do you want your family to be in 25, 50, 200 years? What values do you want embedded in your lineage? Your vision pulls you forward better than fear pushes you around. Strengthen liquidity and cash flow.Increase savings. Build or acquire cash flowing assets. Stop relying solely on appreciation and projections. Add guarantees where they belong.Evaluate properly structured whole life insurance as part of your base. Use it to store capital, access liquidity, and provide a guaranteed death benefit that refills the bucket and de-risks the plan. Integrate your estate design with guidance.Build or update your will and trust. Write your Memorandum of Trust. Clarify roles. Draft love letters to your heirs. Do not leave interpretation to chance. Build producer habits.Study. Create. Serve. Keep solving real problems. Producers attract opportunities. Opportunities expand options. Options reduce fear. Practice the self-talk you'd give a friend.Review wins. Document what worked. Speak to yourself with the same encouragement you offer others. This widens your capacity to choose faith over fear. Typical Planning vs Traditional Planning Use this quick contrast to evaluate your current path. Typical Planning End date focus Spend down a pile Reliant on projections Fragmented accounts Rate of return obsession High anxiety, low control Traditional Planning Ongoing production Cash flow focus Guarantees where possible Integrated system Value creation obsession High certainty, higher control Choose your operating system. Choose your outcomes. Overcoming Financial Fear: From scarcity to abundance – your next step

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis interviews Nicholas Samuels, a humanitarian worker in Ukraine, discussing the critical aspects of medic safety, planning for evacuations, and the importance of understanding the broader context of the ongoing war. Nicholas shares insights on the challenges faced by medical volunteers, the necessity of being aware of threats like drone warfare, and the balance between mobility and capability in medical operations. He emphasizes the need for thorough planning, patience, and the importance of gathering accurate information before engaging in humanitarian efforts.TakeawaysPrioritize your own well-being as a medic.Outsourcing security to others is not advisable.Drones pose a significant threat in modern warfare.Planning for evacuations should account for delays.Gathering accurate information is crucial for operations.Patience is essential for new volunteers.Training should not be rushed before deployment.Understanding the local context is vital for safety.Volunteers can help by fundraising and raising awareness.War is about more than just combat; it's about values and morality.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Humanitarian Efforts in Ukraine01:56 The Importance of Medic Safety06:07 Balancing Mobility and Capability09:48 Planning for Evacuations13:53 Gathering Information and Reconnaissance18:37 Advice for New Medical Volunteers25:55 Understanding the Broader Context of the WarFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

Learn how to take the limits off and stop planning small.

Most retirement advice quietly assumes you have a partner: two incomes, two Social Security checks, someone to split expenses with, someone to catch the slack if something goes wrong. But for singles, the margins are tighter and the freedom can be much greater. Planning alone means every decision carries more weight, but it also means you have full control over the life you want to build.This video centers on Tina, a 62-year-old single woman with roughly $2.2 million across investment accounts, employer stock, a 401(k), and a Roth IRA. Her situation highlights something many single retirees face: the rules for married couples don't apply. There's no second Social Security benefit, no shared expenses, no fallback income — just her plan, her goals, her decisions. Once her “freedom number” becomes clear, the entire plan shifts. Reliable income fills part of the picture, but the rest depends on how her portfolio supports the exact life she wants to live. Simple choices — retiring sooner, traveling more, inviting friends on those trips, or designing a lifestyle that actually reflects what matters — completely change her projections and expand what's possible.The heart of this conversation isn't about budgets or perfect withdrawal rates. It's about giving singles permission to build lives that match their values, not someone else's template. When the numbers align with the life you want, confidence follows naturally.If this perspective helps you rethink how retirement looks when it's just you, tap like and share what resonated. Your retirement doesn't need to look like anyone else's, it just needs to support the version of life that feels right to you.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

What if the real problem isn't your willpower, but your timing?Today we dive into a very practical exploration of how your brain shifts across the day, and how to design a life that cooperates with those shifts instead of fighting them.  From the morning's high executive function to the evening's predictable crash, we unpack why your 9 a.m. self feels like a sharp CEO while your 9 p.m. self behaves like a tired intern, and how to use that predictability to your advantage.  We break down the predictability principle and share accessible, battle-tested tools that remove decision friction when you're depleted. You'll hear how to apply “system over hope” in real life.  Then we get strategic about the high points. Guard your mornings for high-friction work like writing, strategy, complex learning, difficult conversations, when focus and clarity peak. Shift afternoons to nudge tasks like email, scheduling, and admin, so your best hours serve your most important goals. We also show why coaches wire new habits to early slots for dramatically better odds, and how to run a simple audit: identify where you're pushing against your biology, realign tasks to your energy, and install one small system tonight to help your future self succeed.  If you're ready to reduce regret, increase follow-through, and build kinder systems that work even when you're tired, this conversation is your playbook. Listen, try one tool today, and tell us: which habit are you moving to your morning slot?

Jim kicks off this week's show with a wild winter travel saga involving airport shutdowns, missing donuts, and a 3 a.m. pickup run that somehow beats the incoming snowstorm. From there, he and Eric dive into a new Universal survey aimed squarely at teens, explore construction movement in Lost Continent, and track down the long-missing Monsters Café icons now hiding backstage in Dark Universe. They also unpack the Grinch's sudden takeover of holiday marketing before shifting into a deep-dive feature on the long, winding, neon-lit creation of Universal CityWalk Hollywood—a project Lou Wasserman first dreamed up nearly three decades before it opened. NEWS • Teen-focused Universal survey hints at interest in genre preferences, event awareness, and horror-driven engagement. • Activity in Lost Continent sparks renewed speculation about future land plans and potential tie-ins to Wicked's box office momentum. • Classic Monsters Café statues resurface behind Dark Universe, raising questions about their next life in the parks. • McDonald's unveils a Grinch meal, highlighting the odd licensing divide between animated, live-action, and promotional designs. • Universal updates its disability access program, shifting to a more streamlined digital Attractions Assistance Pass. FEATURE • How Lou Wasserman's 1966 idea evolved into the modern, open-air entertainment district known as CityWalk. • Why Universal insisted CityWalk be “not a mall,” but a curated neighborhood blending neon art, unique shops, and LA culture. • The surprising role of historic neon, UCLA programming, and an 18-screen movie palace in shaping the development. • Early expansions, closures, and how CityWalk continues to evolve ahead of Universal Hollywood's third on-site hotel.
