Want to look your best when you step off the plane after a flight? No matter where you're going, you're going to need to be ready to go when you land.5 Things to Consider to Travel in Comfort Without Sacrificing StyleWhether it's a quick two-hour hop to a theme park destination, or a six-hour cross-country or overseas haul, air travel doesn't have to mean sacrificing your style for comfort. It's true. The right outfit can carry you from gate to getaway with no outfit change required. With just a little planning (and a great hoodie), you can stay cozy in-flight and look sharp the moment you land and get on your way.Five Ways to Look Good When You Step Off the PlaneHere are five ways to look good after your next flight, no matter how long you're in the air.1. Choose Comfortable, but Polished, Travel OutfitsLong gone are the days of sweatpants that scream “I gave up.” Today's travel clothes combine comfort with intention. That means a relaxed fits that still look refined. Go for comfortable buy stylish shorts, joggers or stretch denim. Pair that with a graphic tee with personality, and comfortable easy-on shoes or sneakers. You'll not only breeze through security, but you'll still look great and ready-to-go at arrivals.2. Pack Wrinkle-Resistant Fabrics and Easy LayersWrinkle free clothing has come a long way in both performance and style. From recycled poly-cotton blends to tri-knit tops, wrinkle-resistant fabrics are a travel game-changer. They hold their shape during hours of sitting, folding and laying on your carry-on. Layering adds both function and fashion. Start with a breathable t-shirt and top it with a soft hoodie. Add a denim jacket or something similar that will look good slung over your seat or your shoulders.3. Don't Travel Without Your Go-To Hoodie or SweatshirtA soft, mid-weight hoodie is the real MVP of air travel. Need a blanket? Hoodie. Cold on the plane? Hoodie. Want to look effortlessly cool at the baggage claim? Hoodie.Our 1923 graphic sweatshirts and hoodies are made for moments like this—super-soft with a vintage edge that feels broken-in from day one.  They bring personality and warmth to your outfit without bulk and will travel with you long after your journey has ended.4. Wear Outfits That Go Straight from Plane to ExploringWhen you land, the last thing you want is to dig through your bag for a whole new look. Your airport outfit should double as your first-day-of-adventure outfit. That's why we love elegant statement graphic tees layered with neutral staples. Throw on a hat and sunglasses and you're instantly ready to hit the streets, hit the parks, check out a café, or snap that all-important “I've arrived” first vacation selfie.5. Feature the Style You Want the World to SeeBuilt for travelers, dreamers and modern nomads, our 1923 Main Street® designs are inspired by classic destinations, eternal memories and that vintage travel poster vibe.

Leave your commentIn Episode 136 of Mastering Modern Selling, Brandon Lee, Tom Burton, and Carson Heady welcome back a show favorite Larry Long Jr, CEO and Chief Energy Officer of LLJR Enterprises. Larry doesn't hold back. With a mix of energy, humor, and real talk, he calls on sellers and leaders to ditch outdated habits and build something that actually works today.This episode hits hard on what it really takes to stand out in a world that's constantly moving: owning your calendar, taking daily reps, and showing up with intention. Larry's philosophy is simple: get clear on your purpose, stay committed, and don't wait around for perfect conditions.Sales Has Changed, Stop Acting Like It Hasn't “There's still dinosaurs out there, but they're extinct.” Larry doesn't mince words. If you're still relying on tactics from 2014, you're behind. Making 1,000 calls a day hoping something lands isn't a strategy, it's noise. Buyers have changed, and sellers need to catch up.Forget ‘Safe', Start Being Seen “Your content is not creating trust.” That was Brandon's mic drop, and Larry doubled down. Polished, lifeless messaging isn't helping anyone. The people you're trying to reach want something real. Share your story, talk about your journey, and be someone worth believing in.Worry Isn't the Problem, Inaction Is Larry says it straight: a little worry is healthy if it gets you moving. But if you're stuck worrying without action, that's on you. It's not about being flashy, it's about doing the work. “Let me see your calendar. Who are you meeting? What are you learning?”Success Comes from Reps, Not Excuses “You've got to get the reps in.” Larry's sports background shines through as he reminds us that success isn't random. It's about repetition, accountability, and small steps done daily. Want results? Stop hoping and start practicing.The JOLT Effect – Jump On Life Today Larry's signature mindset is captured in one word: JOLT - Jump On Life Today. Why? Because waiting is a trap. “Tomorrow is not promised.” Whether it's getting healthy for your family or building a sales rhythm that works, it starts with taking real action now.This episode is a wake-up call for every seller who's coasting or playing it safe. Larry reminds us: the path to being unstoppable starts with ownership. Don't wait for motivation. Don't wait for the market to shift. Build your discipline. Practice with purpose. And show up differently every single day. Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!

Canadian electro-industrial band Front Line Assembly, led by Bill Leeb with longtime collaborator Rhys Fulber, released their eighth album Hard Wired in 1995. The album blends harsh electronic beats, cinematic synth textures, distorted vocals, and heavy guitar riffs, all characteristics of the industrial and cyberpunk aesthetics of the mid-'90s (think Hackers, Strange Days, Johnny Mnemonic). Lyrically and thematically, Hard Wired explores dystopian, technological, and transhumanist topics, reflecting fears and fascinations with the digital age, surveillance, and the loss of humanity in a mechanized world. Polished yet gritty production, mixing cold mechanical rhythms with a dark, atmospheric intensity, the album bridges the gap between their earlier EBM (Electronic Body Music) roots and a heavier, more industrial rock-influenced style.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Neologic Spasm 33:47 - Condemned 40:12 - Modus Operandi 50:29 - Infra Rec Combat 1:01:52 - Circuitry Outro - Barcode   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

It's a late Sunday afternoon, the sun is shining, and the smell of freshly cut grass (and the inevitable hay fever) is drifting through the studio as I sit down to record this episode. After a whirlwind few months — including seven incredible weeks photographing on Crystal Cruises — it feels good to be back behind the mic, even if I'm a little sniffly. In this episode, I'm reflecting on the magic of authentic portrait photography, the rapid rise of AI in our world (and our inboxes!), and why the human touch still matters more than ever. Plus, there's news about upcoming workshops, a few tech tips for cleaner files and faster edits, and a good-natured rant about AI-generated podcast pitches. As always, it's a mix of stories, laughter, tech, and a reminder to stay creative — and stay human. Cheers P.

Um and also the reason I'm recording it quite so late at this stage of the day. It's 'cause my neighbors have been cutting their grass and they do have the loudest petrol mower in the world. I'm Paul, and assuming I can get through this without sneezing, this is the Mastering Portrait Photography  

Polished is out. Grit is in. If you want your brand to cut through the noise, it might be time to take a cue from the underground music scene.In this episode, we're taking lessons from 90s indie rock with special guest Scott Rayburn, CMO of DataArt. Together, we talk about how brands can market with meaning, stay relevant in the digital age, and create content that hits like your favorite song.About our guest, Scott RayburnScott Rayburn is the Chief Marketing Officer at DataArt. He's experienced in leading cross-functional, high-performing content, GTM/sales, comms, operations, and creative teams, and skilled in content strategy, sales enablement, demand generation, SEO, product marketing, website strategy, branding, partner marketing, and providing creative direction.Scott has been with DataArt since 2023. Prior to his current role, he served as Director of GTM & Content at global technology services company Wizeline. He has also led product marketing at companies like The Risk Management Association and Proscia.What B2B Companies Can Learn From 90s Indie Rock:Lead with authenticity.
Great marketing doesn't have to be glossy, it just has to be real. The best indie rock bands of the '90s didn't rely on flashy production or major label backing to build loyal followings. They embraced raw sound, DIY, and intimate venues, and that resonated deeply with fans. Scott draws a parallel to modern marketing: “People can see through BS… you actually generally will get better results from the kind of authentic stuff.”Think in lifetimes, not just campaigns.
The strongest brands create lasting emotional connections, much like your favorite bands. “These bands that started in the eighties are still filling up 5,000-person theaters today,” Scott explains. Why? Because their fans feel a deep, emotional connection. For marketers, this means nurturing your audience beyond the funnel. Build a brand people want to grow old with, not just click on once.Stay active on every channel.
Indie rock bands don't just put out an album and disappear. Scott says, “Even if they're not making new songs, they need these channels to stay relevant, to sell tickets, to sell merch. It's all kinds of tied to marketing. And this is a tie between the authenticity and customer lifetime value. It's really activating that in a digital age.” Marketers need to do the same. A strong multi-channel strategy ensures your message reaches people where they are, whether that's a blog, a webinar, an event, or a TikTok feed. Being present across platforms consistently helps brands stay top of mind, accessible, and adaptable to change.Quotes*“ This authenticity that we were talking about with these bands, people can see through BS. Whether it's like an Instagram reel or a LinkedIn ad, or an email campaign. It can still work. Your marketing can still work if it's completely polished. But I think, and I see from some results that come from a company work that DataArt is doing. You actually generally will get better results from the kind of authentic stuff. And this is kind of where you see brand maybe driving more revenue than demand generation, but who can actually count the dollars from brand? Well, not me, but maybe someone can let me know. So those conversations are happening.”*“ These bands that started in the eighties are still filling up 5,000-person theaters today… There's this multi-channel approach, which is a huge part of marketing and content marketing. You notice they're all on Spotify. They all have websites, they all have social media. Even if they're not making new songs, they need these channels to stay relevant, to sell tickets, to sell merch, e-commerce. It's all kind of tied to marketing. And this is a tie between the authenticity and customer lifetime value. It's really activating that in a digital age.*“ The number one thing I've noticed in content marketing is the huge need to transition from the faceless 1000-word blog post to something that's more interactive. The quote with somebody's face on your social media post is gonna perform five times better than the faceless five AI trends.”*“ You can't do everything yourself. Build a good team around you. Be T-shaped 'cause you're not gonna be a marketing leader if you're not T-shaped…And try to create some way that you can stay focused on your strengths, and then lean on others who have strengths of their own. Have this kind of holistically built type of leadership team.”Time Stamps[0:55] Scott Rayburn, CMO at DataArt[02:02] Why 90s Indie Rock?[03:53] What is Record Store Day?[04:55] The Role of CMO at Data Art[06:38] Origins of 90s Indie Rock[10:50] The Indie Rock Movement and Its Impact[20:30] Building Community Through Music[31:11] B2B Marketing Takeaways from 90s Indie Rock[38:39] How You Can Be More Authentic in Your Marketing[46:55] Advice for marketing leaders[47:29] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Scott on LinkedInLearn more about DataArtAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Luxury Style Mastery:  5 Days to ICONIC - Register Here Welcome, fabulous icons, to another empowering episode of Real Estate Icons! Today, we're talking about a game-changing concept that will redefine how you think about your business and yourself. Luxury. What is it? How does it show up in your life, your brand, and your client experience? Spoiler alert: it's not about selling multi-million-dollar homes; it's about creating a feeling so exquisite it becomes unforgettable. I'm Afton, your host, and I'm here to speak directly to the ambitious agent inside you. She's ready to show up bolder, more confident, and unapologetically luxurious. Together, we're unlocking a mindset shift that will elevate your brand and leave your clients raving, bonded by experiences that go far beyond the sale. What You'll Learn in This Episode Luxury isn't about price tags or possessions; it's about the feeling you create. Think intention, care, and excellence in every detail. We'll explore what it means to bring that energy forward in every interaction, regardless of the size of the transaction. And here's the twist—it starts with YOU. We'll also unpack why adopting a “Louis Vuitton state of mind” transforms your business, your confidence, and how others perceive your value. Trust me, love, this one's pure gold. The Reality of Luxury Can we get real for a second? When most people hear “luxury,” they think yachts, champagne bars, and designer bags. Sure, that's a part of it—but it's just the surface. At its core, luxury is about the feeling it evokes. It whispers, “You are worth this moment.” Imagine stepping into Chanel. The lighting caresses every surface. The sales associate treats you as if you're the most important person in the world. That care, that attention to detail, that feeling, is what we're talking about. NOW take that same energy and imagine delivering it to your clients. Whether it's their first condo or their dream estate, luxury is about how you make them feel. Energy, elegance, and excellence—that's what turns a business transaction into a lifelong memory. Key Takeaways You'll Love Luxury whispers, “You are worth this.” Understand that before you can offer it to others, you've got to embody it yourself. It's not just a transaction. Each interaction is an opportunity to create an unforgettable experience. Energy doesn't lie. Walk in with intention, poise, and confidence, and others will see your value. Luxury is personal. It's not tied to a price point. It's in the care, attention, and detail you bring to the table. Treat yourself as a brand. The way you show up for yourself reflects the way the world will show up for you. What's Inside This Episode 00:00 Welcome to luxury Branding 01:43 Redefining Luxury (Hint: It's not just about your budget) 06:07 The Feeling of Luxury 09:25 The Louise Vuitton vs. Target (Change the way you think!) 10:45 Sneak Peek of the Luxury Style Mastery Masterclass 13:30 Why Your Confidence Sets the Stage for Everything It's Time for YOU to Elevate Here's the truth. You don't have to wait to embody luxury. You don't need to hit specific sales goals to start showing up as the radiant, iconic agent you know you are. Luxury begins NOW. Start with your mindset, your presence, and your energy, and watch how the world responds. ✨ Want to take this transformation to the next level? ✨ Join me in the Luxury Style Mastery masterclass, 5 Days to ICONIC. Together, we'll explore the art of showing up as the most powerful version of yourself—from wardrobe choices to mindset shifts to curating your unforgettable personal brand.

Driving the recently upgraded Honda Civic e:HEV-LX five door hatch at $55,900 drive-away not inexpensive but this is one very impressive small hybrid hatchback, highly equipped, frugal and with very engaging dynamics. A 2-0 litre petrol engine with two motor hybrid assistance driving through an electric CVT transmission. The hybrid power train most impressive, prioritising electric power and the move to petrol power under a heavier throttle is seamless quiet and refined. As I said earlier this is one of the best new cars I’ve driven in the last 12 months. Economy, in mainly city driving an impressive 5.0L/100km on 91 grade petrol. Battery charging when coasting and braking can be adjusted via the steering wheel shift paddles. And on top of 11 airbags a full suite of active safety elements via Honda Sensing technology. The drive experience engaging – on 18- inch alloy wheels with premium Michelin Pilot Sport tyres the driving dynamics are first class. Yes, it’s a little pricey at $55,900 drive-away but the Honda Civic e- HEV-L is loaded with equipment apart from a tyre repair kit and no spare wheel. Warranty five-years unlimited km warranty, battery warranty 8 years with service costs class leading – Just $597 over three years.

Pull up a chair at the mill's fishing camp because this episode is packed with classic lumber trader BS, war stories, and some useful market insights. We kick things off with a SYP talk, asking Charles why published prices keep climbing when he insists, they're flat. Did we spill too much on what we think values should be? Maybe. We also dig into how much tariff speculation is already baked into prices. Matts had the best market pulse lately, and he breaks down what mills' optimizers are up to. Gregg takes us through housing starts, and Charles lays out the numbers on 2x4 and 2x6 9'. This episode is loaded with free intel—things your lazy trading partner might be missing.

Sometimes beauty is just a mask that's painted on. Polished, and perfected to hide the horrors beneath. A swipe of lipstick, a pop of nail polish, all the small things that are meant to make us feel seen and powerful. But is beauty isn't just for us? There may be someone else watching, waiting, longing to wear it too. Be careful, because before long, you might not recognize the monster that's hidden beneath your surface.  First, a special feature for Black History Month, a monster in make-up And in our last story, a color to die for Subscribe: https://bit.ly/subSNARLED Watch the latest: https://youtube.com/watch?playlist&list=PLlt49G0M7dfhhFe79kdPucjYzWv4CK8H1&index=1 Follow us EVERYWHERE: https://facebook.com/watchsomethingscary/ https://facebook.com/getsnarled/ https://instagram.com/wearesnarled/ https://twitter.com/wearesnarled Follow Blair: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@blairbathory Instagram: https://instagram.com/blairbathory/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/blairbathory1 Twitter: https://twitter.com/blairbathory Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/BlairBathory About SNARLED: Your home for scary stories, from urban legends to true tales of murder, mystery and the unknown.

He was a church planter and a coach for 16 years and now he is a teaching pastor at a church that meets on the college of TCU in Fort Worth Texas. He wrote “The Preacher: A Comprehensive Guide From Heart to Pulpit” and is working on “The Priesthood”.

Driving Honda’s recently upgraded small HR-V SUV – for 2025 now available inthree models – an entry petrol and two hybrid variants. I drove the top spec HR-Vhybrid E-HEV L now $4,100 more affordable at $42,990 drive-away. This thirdgeneration Honda HR-V has now been refreshed with a minor facelift and a fewinterior updates but basically, it’s all about being more affordable although it stillsits at the higher end of small SUV pricing. This HR-V Hybrid is technicallyinnovative in the old Honda tradition, nicely built, refreshingly different andstylish to look at including a painted grille with a very practical and nicelyappointed interior for four adults rather than five. Combining a 1.5-litre petrolengine with two compact electric motors it delivers a nice balance of power andtorque and the hybrid system is technically impressive. This is a small SUV with aquality feel with little to grumble about, the lack of a wireless phone charger andonly a tyre repair kit, but it does come with a full suite of active safety elements,wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and heated front seats with fabric andleatherette trim. Warranty five years/unlimited km with 8-year battery warranty.Drive details next segment. I’m David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driving the updated small Honda HR-V SUV which now comes in three models,the entry pure petrol plus two hybrids – I tested the top spec HR-V hybrid E-HEVL at $42,990 drive-away which combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with two electricmotors producing combined outputs of 96kW and 253 Nm of torque – smooth,quiet and refined, the hybrid system generally prioritising electric power, thepetrol engine kicking in to act as a generator to charge the battery, the electricmotor in turn drawing on that charge to power the front wheels. The drive is verylinear and polished, as I said quiet, and the only time the petrol engine isnoticeable is under a heavy throttle where the continuously variable transmissionlets the petrol engine surge a little and make its presence felt. On 91 grade petrol Imanaged 4.9L/100km making the HR-V a very frugal driver with an impressiverange. The drive experience with great seats, nimble steering and a nicelybalanced ride/handling combination gives this compact Honda HR-V hybrid SUVa very polished feel. It’s not the most affordable compact SUV in its class butoverall, a very nice allrounder with servicing capped for each of the first fiveyears at a sharp $199.

You cannot get there by force or effort of yourself, it will only lead to a longer time. The Holy Ghost is the Teacher. He is the one who is taking each and every life purchased by the "Precious Blood of the Lamb," Jesus Christ, and maturing them. No one can rush the maturing process seeing He is the one who oversees and undertakes every breath, step and beat of our hearts. There will be temptations from all sides to turn you away into intellectualism, or overspiritualization. None of which will ever get you closer to that "place" of maturing. It will only corrupt you. Do not ever think that even many of your failings are something to be grieved over for the rest of your life and lost time. Nothing is ever lost with and in Christ. The enemy will constantly bring them into your mind with cringing memory to accuse and cast you down. However, your life is no longer being developed by Satan but by Jesus Christ. The maturity only Christ will bring you to is full bodied and robust. Every mistake a person makes and repents for becomes a mighty weapon of terror against him that will defeat him. Do not think of running your race unhinged trying to gain more than what the Holy Spirit knows you are ready for. The whole life is prepared for Jesus Christ to be able to give you what your life is precipitated for. As you are agreeable and teachable, He will then begin to use your failings and shortcomings to teach others "the more perfect way." The way of His love. He is maturing you to the be "Polished stones" in the eternal temple of God. “Put together all the tenderest love you know of, multiply it by infinity and you will begin to see glimpses of the love and grace of God.” ― Hannah Whitall Smith, The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life

Episode 456 - Jenny Sanders - Driving A Tank Bucketlist Item, Polished Arrows and Helping Kids WriteFor the last few years I've been living wherever I hang my proverbial hat, currently between the UK and South Africa. I'm a  writer, speaker, imperfect follower of Jesus, wife, and mother of four grown-and-flown children, and a thousand other things besides.My passions are for authenticity, integrity and justice.  I love to ‘see the lights come on' for people when they grasp truth that makes a daily difference.These days, I have more time and write for a number of magazines as well as working on book projects.For twelve years I had a monthly column for a local newspaper.   I've also written a series of four  devotionals around the themes of the sea, the city, the countryside and the mountains – each with six weeks of material.  Contact me if you'd like to order a copy (details below).MY BOOKS:Spiritual Feasting (Instant Apostle  May 2020), explores Psalm 23:5, asking how it's possible to take our assigned place at God's table and ‘feast' even when life serves us a bitter or sour ‘menu'.  It's written for those who ‘recognise that Jesus never promised a trouble-free life, but want to experience the reality of living life to the full with Him.'  With Biblical and contemporary examples of those who've done just that, it's a book that will challenge assumptions and comfort zones while encouraging you to pursue authentic intimacy with the Host of the banquet.  ‘Taster questions' alongside each chapter give an opportunity to dig in to the nourishment of the sections more fully – ideal for small groups or an individual reader.  Published by Instant Apostle, it's available through good bookshops and on-line; you can find it here: https://instantapostle.com/books/spiritual-feasting/Polished Arrows (Instant Apostle May 2024), is based on Isaiah 49:2, it unpacks the arrowsmith's art of taking an unpromising stick and crafting it into a lethal weapon; a powerful illustration of the journey of faith and discipleship. God, both Master craftsman and skilled archer, shapes us for His purposes so we can be fired with impact into our culture and contexts. Are we willing to be arrows in His hands? Each chapter of Polished Arrows closes with ‘Target questions' followed by a biblical example of the process described in the text. Great for personal or small group use.

In this solo Style School episode, Natalie guides listeners through a framework she refers to as the BU Style Six—Relaxed, Classic, Polished, Soft, Magnetic, and Creative.

Whether you've got a Relaxed disposition but want to step out with more Magnetic energy at a corporate event, or if you thrive in a Creative environment yet crave Classic sophistication—there's always room for blending styles to create looks that resonate with your personality. Natalie encourages you to rummage through your closet, pinpoint the pieces that align with your style identities, and confidently develop your own unique blend. And underscoring all of this is the importance of self-acceptance and understanding, all to help listeners step away from the distractions of mainstream fashion and societal expectations. By embracing your individuality and the diverse elements of your style, you can wield your wardrobe as a powerful tool for self-expression.

Why do people go to college? In Polished: College, Class, and the Burdens of Social Mobility (U Chicago Press, 2024), Melissa Osborne, an associate professor at Western Washington University, explores the experiences of students from low income and first-generation backgrounds who attend elite universities in the USA. The book offers a vital intervention for our understanding of the role of higher education and its connection to a range of social inequalities. It captures the sometimes difficult and ambivalent experiences of students from outside the traditional demographics for elite institutions. The analysis offers a nuanced understanding of the process of social mobility, showing the struggles of students and institutions, and the limits of individually-focused approaches to social change. Rich with ethnographic and qualitative data, as well as a powerful set of ideas for elite institutional change, the book is essential reading for educators everywhere.
