Send Mo a text about this episode!Have you heard of Cardology?! I know I hadn't- and this system is fascinating for personal and professional insight and growth. Cardology uses playing cards to help give you insight into your personality traits, past lives, karma, life lessons and more! You have to check out this episode with Donna Webb.... In this episode we talk about:-What led her to find this tool of cardology.-What the system of cardology is and how you can use it for your career, relationships and life!-How Donna merges her skeptical self with the intuitive and energetic system of cardology.-Donna shares several stories where cardology was able to help her clients down to the month, week or DAY- it is quite precise and incredible to hear about.The 411 on Donna:Donna is a practitioner of cardology − the study of the ancient science behind playing cards. The key idea behind this science is that each person's date of birth is associated with a Birth Card which offers insights into one's personality traits, past lives and related karma, life lessons, potential callings, and overall life purpose. Donna is listed by the International Association of Cardology (https://cardology.org/) as one of the top 40 cardologers in the world. Holding a doctorate degree in education, Donna has applied cardology to effectively teach children and young adults. As such, one of her goals is to help adults guide children to their highest potential based upon each child's unique personality traits. Towards this mission, Donna published the book, Unlocking the Potential of Children: How Cardology Can Help You Nurture the Development of a Child's Authentic Self. Donna lives in Portland, Oregon where she also consults others on how to leverage cardology to navigate all aspects of one's life: parenting, career, financial and health matters, potential moves/travelling, intimate relationship compatibility, and other relational dynamics. Through that work, Donna's clients encouraged her to write a book about intimate relationships.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by onX Backcountry and LMNT, we are joined by Bee Corrado, a backpacker, public school Spanish teacher, and outdoor content creator currently pushing her way through the Pacific Crest Trail.  In this one, we dive into how Bee almost adopted the trail name "crack sniffer", a bloody Sierra water crossing that almost earned her another trail name "sporin", and her midnight hike over Forester Pass in total darkness and snow.  Bee also shares why every thru-hiker should ditch their tramily for a period of time, her definitive trail cinnamon roll rankings, and why she's embracing her feral side and embracing her body hair. We wrap the show with a rundown of the remainder of the PNW road trip, including an epic Seattle Hiker Meetup, Katie's breakdown of 10 women-owned ultralight gear brands, our go-to open bar wedding dance moves featuring Katie's on-camera worm, a Triple Crown of conditions that will force us to cancel a backpacking trip, a 10-year anniversary update from a former Badger-sponsored hiker, and a listener calls me out for shaming cold-soakers at the Seattle meetup.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson ran on a bold affordability platform — and her centerpiece housing promise just collapsed. After a proposed 80% developer fee cut went nowhere and permit numbers cratered, Wilson's answer is a 12-month task force. Because nothing says "I'm serious about housing" like commissioning another committee.Sean breaks down why Wilson's progressive-revenue agenda is structurally incapable of building anything. Developers don't build where the math doesn't work — and Seattle's combination of sky-high fees, slow permitting, and political hostility to capital is a textbook recipe for a housing drought. While Wilson forms task forces, Bellevue is quietly running laps on new construction.The broader picture is grim. Tech layoffs, business flight, and some of the most expensive gasoline in the country are squeezing the working families Wilson claims to champion. Karen Bass is burning homeless funds in LA; Katie Wilson is burning political capital on promises she structurally cannot keep. The rent projections from urbanist groups aren't optimistic — and interest rates aren't helping.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you don't miss daily PNW politics, housing policy, and the news the mainstream won't touch.#NFRP #Seattle #KatieWilsonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

The Pacific Northwest has a copper theft problem. Seattle police say this type of crime has increased 300% in the city since 2016. And it's hitting Seattle's mom and pop shops especially hard, because often they're the target of these robberies. We're in the midst of a big shift from a fossil fuel-based economy to one powered by electricity. And that's made copper more valuable than ever. On today's episode, why is copper theft surging in the PNW? And can anything be done about it? Do you have a story idea for us? Give us a call at (206) 221-7158 and leave a voicemail.

Rico Omarr Harris had once seemed destined for a life in basketball. Standing 6-foot-9, Rico was a standout player who attracted attention from college scouts, led Los Angeles City College to a state championship, and eventually played briefly for the Harlem Globetrotters. But years after his basketball career had taken an unexpected turn, Rico was preparing for a new chapter of his life. On October 10, 2014, 37-year-old Rico Omarr Harris left his mother's home in Alhambra, California, and began driving north toward Seattle, where he planned to reunite with his longtime girlfriend and start a new life. He spoke with his mother while driving through the Sacramento area and later left a voicemail for his girlfriend. Then, he vanished. Three days later, Rico's black Nissan was discovered abandoned at a remote Yolo County Regional Parks location along State Route 16. His vehicle was there, but Rico was nowhere to be found. Extensive searches of the surrounding area produced no trace of him, and despite the passage of more than a decade, Rico Harris remains missing. What happened to the former basketball star in Yolo County? Why did he leave his vehicle behind? And how does a man who stood nearly seven feet tall seemingly disappear without a trace? Anyone with information about the disappearance of Rico Harris can contact: Yolo County Sheriff's Department at (530) 666-8282 The case number to reference is 14-2964 Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.com Join hosts CJ and Carmita as they set out to cover cases of grizzly serial killers who have brought their nefarious crimes to our beautiful area of the PNW for many years.  Listen Here Fenno, N.

Seth Morrison is the ski icon that I wanted to launch this podcast with 10 years ago, but Seth doesn't do interviews. He told me no for 3 years and I stopped bothering him.  I gave it one last shot a few months ago and Seth said yes! Now, I'm able to end the 500-episode run of The Powell Movement with my favorite, every pro's favorite, every fan's favorite, and every industry person's favorite pro skier, Seth Morrison. This is the Sid Vicious looking ski pioneer that brought high consequence tricks to the backcountry, went bigger than everyone, and got the loudest cheers at all the movie premieres.

On this episode of Fall Obsession Podcast, Sam sits down with Casey Chamberlin from Baseline Maps, one of the rapidly growing mapping apps making waves in the fishing and hunting community. Casey shares the story behind Baseline Maps, how the app has grown, and what makes the community surrounding it so unique. They dive into the vision behind the platform, the constant evolution of the app, and Casey's hands-on approach to listening to hunters, responding to feedback, and building Baseline around the people who actually use it in the field. They also talk about the role technology is playing in modern hunting, how Baseline is helping fishermen and hunters scout and understand the ground they hunt and fish, and why building a strong community is just as important as building a great product. From the early days of Baseline to where the app is headed next, Casey gives us an inside look at what it takes to grow an outdoor technology company while staying connected to the hunters who helped build it. The app is growing. The community is growing.

This week I'm joined by Dan Gates. We jump right in to talking about his latest article for Swing the Fly, when he noticed a change on the river, his three fish limit, the business of the outdoors, finding more outdoor hobbies and birding, easy mistakes we all make, the need for more eyes on our rivers, and so much more.

Rory Bushfield is one of my favorite skiers/personalities, and I loved parts 1 and two of his podcast so much that I had to record a third time with Bushy Wayne before I close out the Powell Movement.  Rory and I have already talked about a lot of important skiing history. Since we last recorded, Rory went viral with a Monster funded aviation stunt, and then he had a life altering accident that changed everything.  While accepting life in a new body could crush some, Bushy still has that "blow it if you got it" mentality and he's already pushing the limits of what's possible in his new existence.

He and Hanna also discuss their anger over Grove's partnership with Amazon and their journey to find alternative stores -- and their budding friendship with a zero-waste store right here in the PNW. And Andrew keeps making the same mind-blowing discovery about suction cups again and again. 

Send Mo a text about this episode!There's a difference between talking to yourself within your mind... and saying it out loud! Briana Blythe from Tone Circle Seattle is back on the podcast today to share about what she's learned over the last 7 months about how toning impacts what you manifest and how deeply you can connect with your guides. It takes agency and intention to state out loud what you want from your life- and this absolutely impacts your ability to manifest and co-create. This conversation is SO juicy!In this episode we talk about:- The process Briana has recognized that helps her connect with her true self and guides: self-regulation, alignment and connection to self energy!- What attendees and Briana are experiencing during the Tone Circles. - The Vocal Alchemy Immersive (Please note: this has shifted to May 2027) Sign up to be notified via their website!- How Briana has utilized these techniques to help clear energetic blockages in her body and connect more deeply with her guides!The 411 on Briana:Briana's mission is to reconnect human voices with human hearts, offering all people more access to deep listening and authentic expression of their innate inner wisdom.Before delving into the world of sound healing, Briana trained extensively in classical vocal performance and opera. After burnout and personal loss led her to pivot careers and go silent, it was vocal toning that ultimately healed her relationship with her voice.Through that process, she came to understand a fundamental truth: your voice, free from fear, is the most potent energy tool you carry with you everywhere.She now leads transformational vocal workshops and sound experiences that guide others to release fear, shame, self-judgment, and limiting beliefs keeping them from stepping into the full alchemical power of their voice to support their unique life journey.As founder of Tone Circle™, Briana is committed to making this vocal empowerment accessible to all—creating welcoming, meditative spaces where people can return to their voices for greater calm, clarity, confidence, and collective harmony in everyday life.Please note: The Vocal Alchemy Immersive is shifting to May 2027.

So with that, welcome to the show, Lauren.Lauren 00:00:50  Thank you so much, Josh. It's nice to be here.Josh 00:00:52  Lauren. I kind of want to point our attention to how do I find these affiliates? It all sounds great, but how do I find these affiliates, how do I manage the relationship with them? How do I make sure that the offer I'm going to give them is enough percentage of the deal or of the revenue share? Right.Josh 00:01:11  So there's a lot that I think we need to dive into there. So let's start first with like so how in the world do I go find the right affiliates? If I've decided that with organic I, I've, I'm targeting more, let's say people that are trying to lose weight. Right. how do I go find the right affiliates that are focused on talking to an audience that's wanting to lose weight?Lauren 00:01:33  Yes. Great question. And basically, we're taking somebody through the whole journey, right? Of what? Of starting of starting from the ideation stages and just of interest. And now you're you're ready to connect with affiliates. And so you by joining in the network, you get access to the affiliates. And that's one of the benefits of joining a network. And outside of a network you can absolutely connect with people on like Facebook groups and maybe on LinkedIn. and it's kind of ad hoc, right? And it does take some manual effort. So that does exist that just natural facilitation of relationships. But once you're inside a network in a company like Clickbank or another network, what they allow you to do is to join a marketplace.Lauren 00:02:15  And the marketplace is not consumer facing. It's for affiliates. And affiliates are coming every single day to be able to see what offers are there and what they can begin to promote. And so you want to be in that marketplace. You want to be just like you're on Amazon, right? And you are in that marketplace. It's kind of very similar in the sense of what products can I promote as an affiliate. And so that's how you're really going to start to connect with affiliates. So pick up your offer. And so there's some strategies around there. You know you can get your offer and require that affiliates, you know, provide information so that you can start to create these this network of affiliates that you're connecting with by email by contact. And you also can learn what is their traffic source. Maybe one affiliate is really good at YouTube and one's really good at Facebook. And you can start to be strategic around that. that is the main facilitation, the main way that you are going to connect with affiliates.Lauren 00:03:07  There are other things like events and networking and like I mentioned, kind of this ad hoc relationship that does happen, but you want to ensure your, your, you're connected on the marketplace.Josh 00:03:20  Okay. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. So the first thing would, you know, a network that you join in the marketplace would kind of do a lot. Help expedite things. Do you have any tips or strategies? If somebody is just, you know, they're networking with people or they're in Facebook groups, have you seen any good strategies that way to maybe recruit some affiliates that you're meeting personally?Lauren 00:03:42  Yes, absolutely. Okay, so I think one thing that often gets overlooked when you create your funnel and create your campaign, you're super excited, but you want to be able to have some data around your campaign, your offer. Is it converting? What is the conversion rate? You know, what is the average order value that you see people transacting with on your on your funnel, on your campaign? Those are going to be really attractive metrics to share with affiliates.Lauren 00:04:09  And so if you did go on a Facebook group or you go to a networking or a conference, right, you'r...

Markus Eder is the final European skier on the podcast and he's arguably the most important. Markus's career took off after he won an internet wild card to Nine Knights in 2010, then it exploded even more at Red Bull Linecatcher, and if that wasn't enough, he lit the web on fire with his 2021 "The Ultimate Run" release.  Honestly, Markus may be the most versatile skier I've ever had on the podcast. A bold statement but the guy was a slopestyle athlete on the Italian Olympic team in Sochi in 2014, he's a film skier that consistently puts out segments, he was a Freeride World Tour athlete who won the whole tour in 2019, and he's spent the past two seasons standing on the podium at Travis Rice's prestigious Natural Selection events. I've been trying to get Markus on the show for years and this timed perfectly for him to give his opinions on FIS, federations, and the Olympics. Red Bull. Volkl, and "Legs of Steel" partner in crime, Paddy Graham asks the Inappropriate Questions. Markus Eder Show Notes: 3:00: Knee, Olympics, how it used to be, no coaching, Italian Team issues, and freeride in the Olympics 22:00: Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better. 23:00: Will this impact film skiers, passion and style, his parents, racing, skiing year-round, knowing nothing about the new school, snowblading with snowboarders, and twin tips 42:00: Outdoor Research: The  best is developed and tested in the brutal conditions the PNW and beyond 43:00: Nine Knights, Palmer skis, Line Catcher, MSP Movement, The Ultimate Run, and FWT, and more but I forgot to keep taking notes  78:00: Inappropriate Questions with Paddy Graham

Eric Pollard has had a bigger impact than almost anyone in skiing over the last 25 years.  From being one of the pioneering switch and rail riders of the late 90's, to his mind-blowing ski designs, to his 20 years of video parts, to his award-winning media company Nimbus Independent, to the ski company he started (and was recently bought out of) Season, Eric Pollard has always been a visionary. And like many visionaries, a lot of his ideas were made fun of and misunderstood before they became cool mainstream. I've been trying to get Eric on the show for 10 years and this is truly a podcast with a living legend. Another legend, Andy Mahre, asked the Inappropriate Questions.

Lisa Hudson was a professional beach volleyball player and champion for women's volleyball before she started blazing a trail for women in action sports. Starting with the gravy days of Airwalk in the early 90's, Lisa has always been a proven people connector who's fought for her fellow women because she could. From starting the first women's outerwear brand (Prom) and co-founding Boarding for Breast Cancer, to ensuring Hall of Fame athletes like Shannon Dunn and Tina Basich had a path in snowboarding, to making sure women and brands were included in her video game projects, Lisa's career has not only been successful, she's been a force for women in sports and her story is important and heavy at times.

Glen Plake is the most legendary, the most known skier of our time—maybe of all time—and I've interviewed him more than anyone. But this podcast series couldn't end without a final Plake episode, and this one was timed perfectly, the day after Freeride was named an Olympic sport. You can bet Glen has a strong opinion about that, and we also talk about FIS, SIA, skiing, life, Kimberley, and so much more.  It's another fun episode with a living legend and I get some new stories out of Glen.  Elan Trip of a Lifetime Show Notes: 3:00: Goon Squad, FIS, cultural tobacco and clean living 20:00: Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better.

Elan Skis is a longtime sponsor, and they have been telling me for years that I would be visiting their factory in Slovenia to see their incredible ski process, factory, and culture. While I was flattered that they would even suggest bringing me out, I never expected it to happen. But it didn't just happen, it happened in All-Time fashion. Not only did I get to travel to Europe and become great friends with a bunch of ski industry badasses, but we also got to see the Elan factory and meet the players. And the icing on the proverbial cake was that we sailed from Slovenia to Croatian an Elan Yacht, stopping along the way to swim, take in the sights, and eat incredible food. It truly was a non-ski, ski trip of a lifetime and Slovenia has it all: incredible food, people, the Alps, Wine Country, the Adriatic...
