Soulcruzer Podcast: Show Notes Episode Overview Welcome to another episode of Soulcruzer. Today, I'm recording from an unlikely spot—the Premier Inn at Heathrow Airport. Finding a quiet place has been a challenge, with fans humming in the room and planes roaring overhead every few minutes. But that's just part of the journey. In this episode, I dive into some thoughts on Liber Null & Psychonaut by Peter J. Carroll, a foundational text in chaos magic. I finished listening to it during my travels—six hours in the car, a couple more on the train—and it sparked some reflections I wanted to share with you.  Main Themes & Takeaways Reality is Malleable – What if reality isn't fixed but something that can be shaped? What if belief isn't something you have but something you use? Liber Null presents magic as a kind of hands-on science for hacking consciousness, testing reality, and bending the world to your will. Chaos Magic as a Radical Shift – Written in the late 1970s, Liber Null challenged traditional esoteric systems by stripping magic down to its core principles. It resonated with punk, cyberpunk, and avant-garde thinkers because it rejected gatekeeping and hierarchical structures. No need for orders, initiations, or rigid traditions—just experimentation and direct experience. The Modern Relevance of Chaos Magic – We live in a world where reality is already being shaped—by algorithms, social media, political strategies, and advertising. Big Tech and ad agencies aren't wearing robes, but they're using the same principles of symbolic manipulation to shape what we see, feel, and believe. The question is: Are you actively shaping your own reality, or is someone else doing it for you? Belief as a Tool, Not a Truth – One of the core insights of Liber Null is that beliefs are fluid. They can be adopted, tested, and discarded as needed. In the same way a hacker rewrites code, a chaos magician rewires their own mind.  Connecting This to My Work: Change Magick Liber Null aligns with a larger framework I've been developing—Change Magick. It combines: Chaos Magic: The art of hacking reality through fluid beliefs and direct experience.NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming): Techniques for reprogramming the mind.Jungian Psychology: Archetypes, shadow work, active imagination, and synchronicity.Postmodern Philosophy: The idea that reality is constructed and can be deconstructed. Join the Conversation Have you read Liber Null & Psychonaut? What did you take away from it?Do you practice chaos magic, or are you curious about it?Are there any books, practices, or insights you've found useful in your own journey?Drop your thoughts in the comments or reach out—I'd love to hear what reson

The boys are kicking off 2025 with contrasting vibes: Johnny JR is feeling grateful, and the team think of 11 (slightly unusual) reasons for him to be cheerful (think white teeth, think flat ears).

Will this chance of renewal be grasped by our podcasting heroes? Will this be the Great Reset 2.0? We'll let you decide, but do bear in mind there are a lot of emails about guffs, there's an argument about the Cymru Connection, and John explains how he spent Christmas Day in a Premier Inn.If one of your New Year's resolutions is to send in more top quality correspondence to one of your favourite podcasts, then you're in luck!

In this episode, we answer all the burning questions we've had recently about the theft of Ellie's wedding rings. How did they get nicked in the first place? What was the piece of advice that helped her get them back? Is the vow renewal still going ahead??? Listen in to find out! It's just the two of us for this one, live from the glamorous setting of a Premier Inn hotel room in Norwich. As well as discussing the ring drama, we take the opportunity to say some nice things to each other, and even get a bit weepy at one point. But don't worry, there's plenty of pisstaking and swearing too. Thank you for listening. And thank you to everyone who liked Ellie's posts, made lovely comments, and gave helpful advice. The internet can be a dreadful place, we all know that. But it's lovely when you discover little pockets of love and joy, and we're very grateful to have found one here.

London's FTSE 100 ticked up as trading got underway, regaining some ground lost after a slump on Tuesday. The cautious start came as official data showed the UK's public deficit in July reached its highest for the month since 2021, climbing more than expected to £3.1 billion. Among companies, Waitrose unveiled plans to open 100 new convenience stores over the coming five years as part of a £1 billion investment drive. NatWest was confirmed to have lost its title as a public company following the government's steady sell-down of its stake in the bank, which fell below 25% in June. Whitbread's Premier Inn faced a blow as an advert boasting £45 a night rooms was banned by regulators in the UK over misleading claims. And construction company Costain jumped early on after unveiling a new £10 million share buyback in results showing first-half profit doubled. #ProactiveInvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #waitrose #natwest #whitbread #premierinn #costain #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

It's been confirmed four Kent restaurants owned by the same company will be closing.They're all owned by Whitbread, which is also the owner of Premier Inn, which earlier this year confirmed plans to convert 112 of its low-performing restaurants into hotel facilities and to sell 126 of its branded restaurants.Also in today's podcast, a woman has now been charged with murder after a 25-year-old man was stabbed.Police were called to Harrietsham yesterday afternoon but the victim later died in hospital. School children have been stuck on a bus home for hours during traffic “madness” that brought drivers to a standstill in Sittingbourne.Pupils arrived home at 7.50pm on Monday, despite being picked up at 4.30pm.A cruel dog owner hacked out their pet's identification microchip before dumping the animal to wander the streets wounded.The injured young lurcher was found in Ashford with an ugly gash to its back and taken in by the dog warden.And there are fears a new McDonald's planned for Dover would spill over onto a former graveyard where there are still burials.  Fast food bosses are calling on the public to support their proposal for a new restaurant next to church ruins. 

Budget UK hotels saw a plateau in the first quarter, but remain confident for the rest of the year - but is it time for Whitbread to franchise Premier Inn? The SPACS Sonder, Soho House and Selina are all taking tough action to improve profitability, as investors wait....And the enigma that is Orient Express, as it takes investment from luxury goods group LVMH.

The FTSE 100 got off to a strong start, gaining around 0.5% to 8,185.28 in opening trades. Premier Inn owner Whitbread has booked an early place at the top of the leaderboard, up 3.1% after reporting solid first-quarter numbers and expressing confidence in achieving its full-year outlook. However, Ashtead Group fell 4% after its fourth-quarter results came in below expectations, with full-year profits down 2%. The construction equipment group also kept a lid on a mooted potential move of its main listing from London to New York. In macro news, monthly UK grocery data from Kantar shows price inflation dropping to 2.1% in the four weeks to 9 June, down from 2.4% a month earlier and the sixteenth consecutive monthly drop. This easing inflation and many rainy days led to the lowest take-home grocery sales growth in two years, which was up 1.0% in value terms in the four weeks. Of the listed supermarkets, Ocado Retail, the joint venture between Ocado Group PLC and Marks and Spencer saw the strongest growth, with sales up 10.7% in the 12 weeks to 9 June, with Tesco sales up 4.6% and Sainsbury's up 4.9%. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #whitbread #premierinn #ashtead #katntar #ocado #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

„Du musst die Brille anders justieren“, sagt Michael Garstka. Er ist geschäftsführender Gesellschafter der LIST Development und damit Teil der LIST Gruppe. Ich habe ihn eingeladen, um mit ihm über sein relativ neues Geschäftsmodell zu sprechen: als Service Developer. Begonnen hat er damit vor ein paar Jahren, nun lautet die Prognose, dass diese Sparte künftig 50 Prozent des Gesamtumsatzes ausmachen wird. Es geht um den Nasenfaktor und die Konstanz im Team, um Kooperationen mit Premier Inn und B&B Hotels, das Klumpenrisiko im Hospitality-Bereich und den damit verbundenen Haarausfall. Bei der Bestands-Revitalisierung kommt ein Drei-Phasen-Modell zum Einsatz, das am Ende einen Festpreis möglich macht – mit viel Transparenz und mit sich lichtenden ESG-Nebelschwaden. Es geht also um Transformation: „Wir produzieren keine Schrauben und können nicht von heute auf morgen Dinge ändern“, sagt Michael. Aber an die Zukunft denken. Wie die aussieht, welche Themen relevant sind: Wir haben das alles auf dem Schirm. Und auch hier habe ich wieder einen kleinen Teil Fußball untergebracht: Denn Michael ist Werder Bremen-Fan und erlebte schon so manche – wie er es nennt – „charmante Nacht“.

As commercial property values fall by less than expected during the last year, Ian is joined by Grosvenor's Chief Executive, Mark Preston. Plus, Premier Inn owner Whitbread looks to expand hotel business, and HSBC's chief executive resigns after nearly five years in the role.

The FTSE 100 enjoyed a bright start on Tuesday, as news broke shop price inflation was at its lowest level in nearly two and a half years. Shop prices climbed by 0.8% in April, against 1.3% in March, as non-food items even fell, the British Retail Consortium reported. Among companies, a busy day of reports saw HSBC rise early on, as its chief executive unveiled a $3 billion share buyback but also his retirement on a first-quarter earnings beat. Premier Inn owner Whitbread fell after announcing 1,500 job cuts within its struggling food business, which includes brands Brewers Fayre and Beefeater. FTSE 250-listed Card Factory soared after reinstating its dividend on improved profit last year. And finally, Morrisons announced the £2.5 billion sale of its petrol forecourts to tackle its mounting debt pile. #ProactiveInvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #hsbc #cardfactory #whitbread #brewersfayre #beefeater #morrisons #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

This week's guest is the incredibly funny comedian Paul Foot, who took time out of his schedule to come and chat about such things as his love for Angela Lansbury and Premier Inn, his disdain for obvious tropes in modern whodunnits and why the Heinz's monopoly of the baked beans market could well be flannel. Paul explains why the idea of an earth-orbiting Judy Murray brings him comfort and how he summons the ghost of Keith Chegwin whenever he misplaces important items. Paul also comes up with the best ever answer to what TV show might be top of the ratings in the year 2050, so good in fact, that I think it might just get commissioned.Please Follow us on Social Media (links below):All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis Gunn.Please buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops, online and directly.Podcast Socials:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespodInsta: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespodTwitter: https://twitter.com/tvtimespodSteve's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/steveotisgunnTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/steveotisgunnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steveotisgunn.antisocialPaul's socialsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulfootcomedyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paulfootcomedyTwitter: https://twitter.com/paulfootFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulfootcomedyYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@mrpaulfootGet Tickets for Paul's tour 'Dissolve' here: https://www.plosive.co.uk/events/paul-foot-dissolve-tour-2023-2024Produced by Steve Otis Gunn for Jilted Maggotwww.jiltedmaggot.com Hosted on Acast.

Hotel chain Premier Inn has designed a plate with a built-in bean barrier. They have incorporated a ceramic relief of the company's snoozy moon logo into a plate so that the crescent can keep the baked beans at bay, separate from the eggs and bacon. But what makes a good hotel breakfast?Tom Dunne was joined by Henry McKean with this report...

Film history is full of troublesome hotels, isn't it? A few of them we've even covered on this very show, from the haunted Overlook in The Shining to the labyrinthine, unsettling Airbnb in Barbarian – the kinds of places that make you vow to never complain about a Premier Inn again. This week, revered writer-director Kitty Green releases a thriller that adds to that long list with the sublime The Royal Hotel – an at times unbearably tense exploration of gender and toxic masculinity, set in rural Australian. On today's episode of Script Apart, Kitty stops by for a spoiler breakdown of the movie, in which two young women in need of money check into a dilapidated pub in a remote mining town. What happens next, as the line is blurred between drunken boys-will-be-boys and truly dangerous behaviour, is impossible to tear your eyes away from, beautifully written and impeccably directed.In the conversation you're about to hear, Kitty tells us about her own family connections to the mining town pub culture depicted in the film, which was co-written with Oscar Redding. We unpack what's going on in the heads of the film's two leads, Hannah and Liv, as they encounter some of the community's many microaggressions towards them. She also breaks down the film's connections to her last movie, The Assistant, and what the two dramas combined express about the epidemic of male violence towards women. Please be sure to check out the film before listening as this episode has more spoilers than you can shake a taxidermied snake at.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Our thoughts on the big consolidation deal - will Choice swallow Wyndham? AccorInvest looks to slim down, and trim debt, as it seeks to slip away from Accor. And Whitbread looks to find the love for Premier Inn in Germany.

On this week's Money and Markets podcast Danni Hewson and Laura Suter dig into a pile of economic data from wage growth numbers to the volatility on markets following the stalled UK inflation print which saw housebuilders including Barratt Development tumble. Danni checks out earnings updates from big US banks including JP Morgan and Bank of America and a crowd-pleasing turn from Premier Inn-owner Whitbread. Tom Selby is on hand to explain what the latest wage and inflation numbers mean for the state pension triple lock as well as answering a question about tax relief once you are over 75. Laura's been crunching the numbers on how much the income bands tax freeze is costing you and Tom Sieber chats to Jim Strang from HG Capital Trust about investing in privately-owned technology companies.

Episode Notes Google is constantly tweaking its hotels platform, and the latest iteration contributes directly to the democratization of the online travel industry, writes Skift Research analyst Pranavi Agarwal. Skift Research conducted a study of Google Hotels platform. Here are three insights from the analysis: paid sponsored listings are dominated by the largest online travel agencies; the introduction of organic results is allowing direct sites and smaller online travel agencies to compete head-on with Booking and Expedia; and Google Hotels prioritizes the direct site in its organic results, with the official site most likely to appear on top, even when it is not the cheapest option.  Next, there have been at least four travel tech acquisitions this month, writes travel tech reporter Justin Dawes.  One of them was by property management system startup Mews, which acquired a small hotel AI startup called Nomi, whose tech is meant to help hotels deliver personalized recommendations based on data that guests provide. If the hotel can keep a profile on customers, then the hotel will have better information they can use to recommend activities and restaurants. And that data sets the groundwork for the useful implementation of future generative AI concierge tools.  Finally, Premier Inn's owner, Whitbread, said a shrinking supply of budget hotels in the UK will strengthen its pricing power for years to come, writes Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neil. Premier Inn, the UK's leading budget hotel chain, said the country's independent budget hotel sector shrunk 10% between 2019 and 2022, with many not expected to reopen. This supply shortage is predicted to last for at least five years, presenting a growth opportunity for Premier Inn. Because of the company's size, it can more easily obtain favorable loans and discounted supplies. Premier Inn also said that repeat guests made 86% of its bookings this year.

In August 2022, Whitbread announced it had acquired 5 Strand for a hub by Premier Inn hotel. The 700-bedroom development will create one of the largest budget hotels in central London, a stone's throw from Nelson's Column. In this exclusive EG podcast, the team behind the £125m acquisition will lift the lid on why they were so attracted to the location, how the opportunity came about and the task of planning for such a large hotel in the heart of the West End. And we ask what will it bring and how does it align with Westminster City Council's goals for sustainability and a fairer economy?

Jeannette is joined by Paul Flaum, CEO of Bourne Leisure, to discuss his background and career in the travel, leisure, and hospitality industry. Paul shares his upbringing in a close-knit family and the valuable lessons he learned from his parents' successful business. He discusses the importance of putting the guest first and creating memorable experiences, and talks about the challenges he has faced in his career, the resilience required during difficult times, and the balance between being a leader and a family man. Additionally, he shares his personal connection to Holocaust education and the impact it has had on his purpose and values. KEY TAKEAWAYS Despite having a demanding job, Paul recognises the importance of maintaining a balance between work and family. He prioritises spending quality time with his wife and children and values his role as a husband and father. Resilience comes from doing your best and focusing on continuous improvement, rather than dwelling on disappointments or results. Paul's purpose is to make a positive impact on people's lives, both personally and professionally. He strives to create successful businesses, provide opportunities for others, and contribute to his community. Paul's upbringing and his uncle's Holocaust survival story have shaped his values and perspective on life. These experiences have instilled in him a deep sense of responsibility to educate others, combat hate, and make a difference in the world. BEST MOMENTS "The most important thing I can do is set up an organization which really believes that's the most important thing." "I think a lot of time in leadership, it's the questions you ask, which have the biggest multiplier effect, rather than anything else you do on flashy presentations and that sort of stuff." "I genuinely believe I've been really, really lucky in life. And I look at the background, what I've just described my back from a really poor background East End." "I think over the years, I think I've definitely learned that the best type of leader I can be is being the best me."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

The hotel brand's global customer director tells Marketing Week how commercial, technology and operational teams align to ensure the customer is at the heart of every decision.

Episode Notes Premier Inn is looking to expand its brand through mergers and acquisitions. Specifically gearing towards growth in the German market, the hotel chain provides competition to rival brands such as Ibis, B&B, Motel One and Best Western, writes Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill.  O'Neill examines Premier's acquisition of six hotels in Germany totaling about 900 rooms — each of the properties are being converted into the Premier Inn brand. This transaction means Premier, already the UK's largest hotel chain, would offer more than 50 hotels and around 9,000 rooms in Germany. O'Neill also relays vital information from conversations with research analysts and travel executives about Premier Inn's strategy to scale operations and seek market share gains.  Next, Sonder received an official delisting notice from Nasdaq due to recent financial struggles. Short-Term Rentals Reporter Srividya Kalyanaraman breaks down the situation and writes that Sonder has the next 180 calendar days to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum required share price. Kalyanaraman describes the alternate option is Sonder can elect to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market as a means of receiving an additional 180-day grace period.  Kalyanaraman also notes how the potential delisting of Sonder could be a sign of concern for other publicly traded companies struggling to hit financial benchmarks.  Finally, Saudi Arabia is planning to continue its trend of major hotel development, which currently leads the Middle East and Africa for the largest amount of hotel construction. Standing at 42,033 hotel rooms, Saudi Arabia is poised to create the necessary infrastructure to meet the region's tourism goals, reports Asia Editor Peden Doma Bhutia.  Doma Bhutia also writes in second place in the Middle East and Africa region in terms of hotel construction is the United Arab Emirates with 22,324 rooms, as per March 2023 pipeline data report from STR.

James Edgell, Lead Data Scientist for the UK's largest hotel brand Whitbread joins Wendy on Would You Data Scientist this week to tell you about his career in data. As it’s mental health awareness week, Wendy and James also have an open and honest conversation about depression, loneliness, burnout, and stress. If you find yourself struggling with any of the issues raised please see the help links in the resources below. KEY TAKEAWAYS James joined Whitbread, the company that owns Premier Inn, as an analyst with the goal of becoming a data scientist. His role now focuses on customer data science relating to optimising marketing activities and working with the brands contact centre to ensure they don’t lose customers who have complaints. While at University, James lost someone close to him causing depression to trigger and took a year out. Taking this year out allowed James to remove the pressure of University while dealing with depression and when he went back he was able to succeed to the level he wanted to. Covid was actually really good for Wendy, it allowed her to spend time resting and recovering from burnout and if it hadn’t happened then she wouldn’t have had the time to stop. There is a stigma around taking antidepressants but all it’s doing is balancing the serotonin levels in your brain to a normal level. We wouldn’t judge someone taking iron tablets if they had an iron deficiency. As a hiring manager, James looks for someone who can demonstrate a passion for learning. He describes data as a marathon, where you need to keep going and keep learning because new things will always come up. You can’t just run the race. James both does and doesn’t think that you need a masters degree to get into data. He feels the communication side he was taught has been so valuable, not that it can’t be picked up on the job, but it will take longer. On the other hand it’s not something he actually considers when hiring candidates. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m so happy when I find someone a job they love’ ‘Comparing yourself to other people is just not helpful’ ‘You have a health check up, why not have a mental health check up’ ‘I’m getting to work with really cool data science techniques and learn new things everyday’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Ripple suicide prevention - https://www.ripplesuicideprevention.com/ Samaritans - https://www.samaritans.org/ Want to check out the meditation app Waking Up with me?
