On this week's show, Dana and Steve are joined by long-time FOP Isaac Butler (and author of the forthcoming book The Perfect Moment: God, Sex, Art, and the Birth of America's Culture Wars.) They step into this week's cultural trenches by way of an animatronic beaver den in Pixar's Hoppers. Does the kooky eco-romp revive Pixar from its much-discussed slump? They discuss.Next, they step to the frontlines of middle-age malaise in the new HBO limited series DTF St. Louis, a sex comedy and meditation on male friendship mashed up with a murder mystery starring Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini.Finally, they debrief on the various battles for golden men in a recap and analysis of the 98th Academy Awards. Are the Oscars a real measure of artistic value? What do this year's ceremony and winners say about the state of cinema? Why are they so long?

Natasha Hamilton was 16 when she signed a record deal with the girl band, Atomic Kitten. The group went on to sell over 10 million records and achieve three UK Number One singles including Whole Again and The Tide Is High. But the pressures of fame affected her mental health and made her feel isolated and judged. After five years and the birth of her first son, Hamilton quit the band. Today, Hamilton tells that story - the one that existed behind the headlines. We talk about the toxicity of 90s and early Y2K media, surviving postnatal depression and financial catastrophe after divorce. Plus we talk about why she set up her own record label, Morpho, to focus on nurturing and empowering young talent rather than - as she puts it - ‘moulding them into a product'. An amazing woman whose resilience should be an inspiration to us all! Natasha Hamilton's new single Numb is out now. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 03:15 Forties And Clarity 04:47 Writing Numb 06:03 Morpho Records And Duty Of Care 08:11 Bullied But Born To Sing 14:13 Fame Tabloids And Numbness 21:40 Whole Again And Industry Bias 29:37 Making Peace With The Band 31:17 Rebuilding Sisterhood Again 31:37 Losing Pop Star Identity 32:43 Shock Pregnancy And Isolation 35:17 Postnatal Breakdown And Help 38:12 CBT And Taking Control 40:40 New Career In Beauty 46:00 Divorce Money Chaos And Recovery

Many lawn and landscape companies stay busy all season long but still struggle financially. Why? Because they track revenue, but they ignore the KPI that actually determines profitability: production rate. In this episode, John explains how production rates work, why labor burden changes the math of every job, and how tracking time at the property level can expose which accounts are truly profitable. He also explains how tools like Yardbook's Job Profitability Report help identify underperforming jobs and what to do about them. If you want to know whether your crews are actually generating profit or simply staying busy, this episode will give you the clarity you need. Comments and Questions are welcome.

Jacob Warwick is an executive negotiation coach who helps senior operators negotiate better salary, equity, titles, and severance packages. He has worked with leaders across tech and Hollywood, was previously a founder and CEO himself, and has helped clients secure millions in additional compensation. His approach focuses on collaboration over confrontation, understanding motivations, and treating job searches like enterprise sales processes.We discuss:1. Why a simple “What's the chance there's a little more here?” often unlocks a 20% bump2. Why Jacob sees 40% average movement when negotiations are run well3. When negotiation actually starts (hint: it's much earlier than you think)4. Why information + timing create power5. The biggest mistakes people make when negotiating6.

BONUS: Why the Human Architect Still Matters—AI-Assisted Coding for Production-Grade Software How do you build mission-critical software with AI without losing control of the architecture? In this episode, Ran Aroussi returns to share his hands-on approach to AI-assisted coding, revealing why he never lets the AI be the architect, how he uses a mental model file to preserve institutional knowledge across sessions, and why the IDE as we know it may be on its way out. Vibe Coding vs AI-Assisted Coding: The Difference Shows Up When Things Break "The main difference really shows up later in the life cycle of the software. If something breaks, the vibe coder usually won't know where the problem comes from. And the AI-assisted coder will."   Ran sees vibe coding as something primarily for people who aren't experienced programmers, going to a platform like Lovable and asking for a website without understanding the underlying components. AI-assisted coding, on the other hand, exists on a spectrum, but at every level, you understand what's going on in the code. You are the architect, you were there for the planning, you decided on the components and the data flow. The critical distinction isn't how the code gets written—it's whether you can diagnose and fix problems when they inevitably arise in production. The Human Must Own the Architecture "I'm heavily involved in the... not just involved, I'm the ultimate authority on everything regarding architecture and what I want the software to do. I spend a lot of time planning, breaking down into logical milestones."   Ran's workflow starts long before any code is written. He creates detailed PRDs (Product Requirements Documents) at multiple levels of granularity—first a high-level PRD to clarify his vision, then a more detailed version. From there, he breaks work into phases, ensuring building blocks are in place before expanding to features. Each phase gets its own smaller PRD and implementation plan, which the AI agent follows. For mission-critical code, Ran sits beside the AI and monitors it like a hawk. For lower-risk work like UI tweaks, he gives the agent more autonomy. The key insight: the human remains the lead architect and technical lead, with the AI acting as the implementer. The Alignment Check and Multi-Model Code Review "I'm asking it, what is the confidence level you have that we are 100% aligned with the goals and the implementation plan. Usually, it will respond with an apologetic, oh, we're only 58%."   Once the AI has followed the implementation plan, Ran uses a clever technique: he asks the model to self-assess its alignment with the original goals. When it inevitably reports less than 100%, he asks it to keep iterating until alignment is achieved. After that, he switches to a different model for a fresh code review. His preferred workflow uses Opus for iterative development—because it keeps you in the loop of what it's doing—and then switches to Codex for a scrutinous code review. The feedback from Codex gets fed back to Opus for corrections. Finally, there's a code optimization phase to minimize redundancy and resource usage. The Mental Model File: Preserving Knowledge Across Sessions "I'm asking the AI to keep a file that's literally called mentalmodel.md that has everything related to the software—why decisions were made, if there's a non-obvious solution, why this solution was chosen."   One of Ran's most practical innovations is the mentalmodel.md file. Instead of the AI blindly scanning the entire codebase when debugging or adding features, it can consult this file to understand the software's architecture, design decisions, and a knowledge graph of how components relate. The file is maintained automatically using hooks—every pre-commit, the agent updates the mental model with new learnings. This means the next AI session starts with institutional knowledge rather than from scratch. Ran also forces the use of inline comments and doc strings that reference the implementation plan, so both human reviewers and future AI agents can verify not just what the code does, but what it was supposed to do. Anti-Patterns: Less Is More with MCPs and Plan Mode "Context is the most precious resource that we have as AI users."   Ran takes a minimalist approach that might surprise many developers:   Only one MCP: He uses only Context7, instructing the AI to use CLI tools for everything else (Stripe, GitHub, etc.) to preserve context window space No plan mode: He finds built-in plan mode limiting, designed more for vibe coding. Instead, he starts conversations with "I want to discuss this idea—do not start coding until we have everything planned out" Never outsource architecture: For production-grade, mission-critical software, he maintains the full mental model himself, refusing to let the AI make architectural decisions The Death of the IDE and What Comes Next "I think that we're probably going to see the death of the IDE."   Ran predicts the traditional IDE is becoming obsolete. He still uses one, but purely as a file viewer—and for that, you don't need a full-fledged IDE. He points to tools like Conductor and Intent by Augment Code as examples of what the future looks like: chat panes, work trees, file viewers, terminals, and integrated browsers replacing the traditional code editor. He also highlights Factory's Droids as his favorite AI coding agent, noting its superior context management compared to other tools. Looking further ahead, Ran believes larger context windows (potentially 5 million tokens) will solve many current challenges, making much of the context management workaround unnecessary.   About Ran Aroussi Ran Aroussi is the founder of MUXI, an open framework for production-ready AI agents, co-creator of yfinance, and author of the book Production-Grade Agentic AI: From brittle workflows to deployable autonomous systems. Ran has lived at the intersection of open source, finance, and AI systems that actually have to work under pressure—not demos, not prototypes, but real production environments.   You can connect with Ran Aroussi on X/Twitter, and link with Ran Aroussi on LinkedIn.

The R2 — a mid-size SUV that starts at $45,000 and tops out at $57,990 — is the company's answer to that problem. Full pricing and trim details dropped today, 12 March 2026, and deliveries of the first Performance variant begin this spring. If it works, Rivian becomes a proper carmaker. If it does not, the maths gets ugly fast.From Concept to ConcreteThe R2 platform was first announced in 2022, with production originally pencilled in for 2025 at a planned factory in Georgia. That changed in March 2024, when RJ Scaringe, Rivian's founder and chief executive, unveiled the production-ready R2 alongside the smaller R3 and R3X crossovers at a packed event at the Rivian Theater in Laguna Beach, California. Mr Scaringe also confirmed he was scrapping the Georgia plan — at least for now — and would build the R2 at the existing Normal, Illinois plant instead. That decision saved more than $2.25 billion in capital expenditure and, crucially, pulled the launch date forward.Within 24 hours of its unveiling, Rivian had taken more than 68,000 reservations at $100 apiece. By July 2024, the company's VP of manufacturing Tim Fallon said reservations had surpassed 100,000 and were still climbing. Rivian has not updated that figure publicly since.Production began in January 2026. Validation vehicles rolled off the Normal line first, and the factory is now ramping toward a target capacity of 155,000 R2 units per year — alongside the R1 models it already builds there. Each R2 takes roughly 15 hours to assemble, down from 18 hours for an R1.Why the R2 Matters More Than Any Vehicle Rivian Has BuiltThe R1T pickup and R1S SUV earned Rivian a devoted following and the top spot in Consumer Reports owner satisfaction surveys. They also bled money. Rivian posted a net loss of $3.65 billion in 2025, on top of a $4.75 billion loss in 2024. The R1S starts near $75,000 (around £59,000) — a price that limits the addressable market to a sliver of American buyers."R2 is really instrumental for driving the business to positive cash flow and overall profitability," Mr Scaringe told CNBC in February. He was not exaggerating. The bill of materials for the R2 is roughly half that of the R1. Rivian slashed the number of computing units from over 60 in a traditional vehicle to seven, and cut wiring length by about two miles (3.2 km). The result is what Mr Scaringe called "a dramatic reduction in the cost structure to build it."Rivian did scrape together a positive gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 — a milestone, though the margin was wafer-thin at around 2%, compared with Tesla's 17%. The R2, with its leaner architecture and lower price, is meant to close that gap at volume. Analysts expect around 15,000 R2 deliveries in 2026, though some believe Rivian could exceed that figure. By 2027, with three full shifts running, the Normal plant could produce roughly 155,000 R2s annually.Today's Pricing: What You GetThe lineup spans four trims, all sharing an 87.9 kWh usable battery and a $1,495 destination charge. Here is how they break down:The Performance trim arrives first, this spring, at $57,990 (around £46,000) including the Launch Package. It runs dual-motor all-wheel drive with 656 horsepower, 609 lb-ft (826 Nm) of torque and a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 3.6 seconds. Highway overtaking is savage: 50–70 mph (80–113 km/h) in 1.55 seconds. EPA-estimated range sits at up to 330 miles (531 km). The Launch Package bundles lifetime Autonomy+ access, a tow package rated at 4,400 lbs (1,996 kg) and an exclusive Launch Green paint option.The Premium trim follows in late 2026 at $53,990 (around £43,000). It shares the 330-mile range and dual-motor AWD layout but dials the power back to 450 hp and 537 lb-ft. Zero to 60 takes 4.6 seconds — hardly slow.The Standard RWD Long Range arrives in the first half of 2027 at $48,490 (around £38,500). A single rear motor delivers 350 hp and 355 lb-ft, reaching 60 in 5.9 seconds. Rivian estimates range at up to 345 miles (555 km) — the longest in the lineup, because rear-wheel drive is more efficient.Finally, the Standard RWD variant lands in late 2027 at approximately $45,000 (around £35,700). It uses a smaller battery pack and offers 275+ miles (443+ km) of estimated range. Rivian has shared few other details so far.All trims charge from 10% to 80% in 29 minutes via a native NACS port, which grants access to the Tesla Supercharger network. CCS adapters are supported too.Built Lighter, Built TougherThe R2 rides on an entirely new mid-size unibody platform — a departure from the R1's body-on-frame architecture. The result is a vehicle that weighs nearly 2,000 lbs (907 kg) less than its bigger sibling while sitting on a 115.6-inch (2,936 mm) wheelbase. At 185.9 inches (4,722 mm) long and 75 inches (1,905 mm) wide, it is squarely in Tesla Model Y territory.The weight savings translate directly into agility, but Rivian has kept the off-road DNA intact. Ground clearance of 9.6 inches (244 mm) is best in class — nearly three inches more than a Model Y. Approach and departure angles of 25° and 26° respectively, plus a wading depth of 19.7 inches (500 mm), mean the R2 can do more than look adventurous in a car park. The Performance trim gets semi-active suspension, eight drive modes including Rally and Soft Sand, and a low centre of gravity courtesy of the structural battery pack.Inside, the cabin seats five adults with 40.4 inches (1,026 mm) of rear legroom and headroom — enough, Rivian says, for occupants over six feet (1.83 m) tall. Total enclosed storage is 90.1 cubic feet (2,551 litres), with a front trunk that swallows a carry-on suitcase and a backpack, fold-flat rear seats that create a level loading surface, and dual gloveboxes. The rear drop glass — a powered window that lowers completely into the liftgate — is a genuine talking point, allowing surfboards and other long cargo to slide in or a breeze to sweep through. It is included on Performance and Premium trims.Materials lean sustainable: upcycled Birch wood accents, a headliner made from recycled ocean plastics and Rivian's second-generation Adventex material, which is designed to withstand muddy boots and wet dogs in equal measure.The Technology PlayRivian calls the R2 a "software-defined vehicle," and the specification sheet backs that up. The perception stack comprises 11 HDR cameras with a combined 65 megapixels and a five-radar system — hardware that comes standard on every trim.Rivian Autonomy+, the company's Level 2+ hands-free driver-assist system, covers 3.5 million miles (5.6 million km) of roads across the United States and Canada. It costs $49.99 per month or $2,500 as a one-off purchase. The Launch Package includes it for the lifetime of the vehicle. Every R2 gets a 60-day trial.On-board AI compute runs to 200 TOPS, dedicated to the in-cabin experience. This powers the forthcoming Rivian Assistant — a voice-controlled system that processes complex requests locally, even when offline. The 5G-connected architecture ensures updates arrive over the air, while the offline capability means the vehicle is not hobbled in areas without signal.At the steering wheel, Rivian's in-house Haptic Halo dials replace conventional switchgear. These context-aware controls scroll, push, pull and tilt with distinct tactile feedback for different functions — an attempt to bridge the gap between touchscreen convenience and physical control that many rivals have abandoned entirely. Two digital displays complete the cockpit: one behind the wheel for driving data, and one in the centre for everything else.The Elephant in the Room: TeslaThe R2 lands in the most contested segment of the electric vehicle market. The Tesla Model Y — the best-selling EV on the planet and briefly the best-selling car of any kind in 2023 — starts at $44,000 in the United States and delivers up to 357 miles (575 km) of range. It has a vast Supercharger network, a mature software ecosystem and years of manufacturing refinement behind it.The R2 fights back with 3 inches (7.6 cm) more ground clearance, genuine off-road hardware, a richer interior (Model Y's cabin has always divided opinion) and that distinctive outdoor-adventure identity that Rivian has cultivated since its founding. Whether that is enough to prise buyers away from Tesla — or from the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Chevrolet Equinox EV — remains the central question.Why Failure Is Not an OptionRivian burned roughly $3 billion in the first nine months of 2025 alone. It ended 2024 with about $5.3 billion in cash, a figure being steadily eroded by capital expenditure and operating losses. The Volkswagen joint venture — worth up to $5.8 billion in total — provides a lifeline, as does the potential for Department of Energy loan access. But lifelines do not last for ever.The company's stock tells its own story. Rivian went public in November 2021 at $78 a share, briefly touched $170 and now trades around $15. A 90% decline from the peak concentrates the mind wonderfully.The R2 must do three things at once: attract a materially larger customer base than the R1 ever could, generate a positive gross margin per vehicle and ramp to volumes that spread fixed costs across enough units to bend the loss curve downward. At a planned capacity of 155,000 units per year from Normal alone — with a second factory in Georgia eventually to follow — Rivian has the industrial ambition. The Volkswagen partnership supplies software licensing revenue and engineering credibility.Mr Scaringe has described the R2 as "the most important thing that we've developed as a company." On the evidence of today's specification sheet, it is also the most complete. The range is competitive, the technology is ambitious, the price is within reach of mainstream buyers and the off-road capability gives it a personality that few electric SUVs can match.None of which will matter if Rivian cannot build it at scale, on time and at a cost that leaves room for profit. The company that once dazzled Wall Street with a $170 share price now needs to dazzle customers with a $45,000 truck. That is the harder trick — and the one on which everything depends.

Alan sat down with Dr. Matt Burton to talk shop in a "swanky" new Chicago Dental Society podcast lounge that's a far cry from the usual exhibit hall floor. Matt shares the latest evolution of the Quad Matrix System, detailing how a few "minor" tweaks to wedge angles and material firmness are making a massive difference in clinical predictability. Between the deep dives into dental engineering, the conversation takes several hilarious detours—ranging from the high-speed, contempt-filled experience of Chicago taxi rides to the traumatic sight of a mascot (Hadley the dog) with its head off. Whether discussing the "smell of money" (anaerobes) or the potential for a dental-themed Voltron mascot, this episode balances technical expertise with the kind of irreverent humor that makes the Very Dental Network what it is. Key Takeaways from the Conversation The Evolution of the Quad Matrix: Matt discusses the "Matt Burton magic" found in the split-wedge design and the accompanying ring. The newest version features firmer materials and trapezoidal shapes to prevent matrix displacement. The "Renewable Resource" of Dentistry: A shift in focus from "Production" to "Profit." Matt argues that direct restorations (Class IIs) are the backbone of a recession-resilient practice because they have lower overhead and higher frequency than elective procedures. Eliminating Technique Sensitivity: Using high-quality tools isn't just about the result; it's about reducing the "sweat factor" and mental fatigue. Matt explains how a predictable matrix system turns a stressful procedure into a step-by-step win. The "Tryout" Procedure: Why the humble filling is actually your most important diagnostic and relationship-building tool. Flubbing a Class II is the fastest way to lose a new patient's trust. Invention Anxiety: Matt opens up about the "scary as hell" process of patenting and the "fake it until you make it" mentality required to bring a new dental product to market. Mascots and Misadventures: A hilarious warning about seeing mascots without their heads and a pitch for Garrison Dental to adopt "Anarobe" or "S. Mutans" as official characters.

The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Brett Humphrey, founder of Joynt, to discuss a new approach to housing affordability through co-ownership. Brett shares his background as a longtime software developer and entrepreneur, including selling a consulting business to Accenture before launching Joynt. The conversation explores how shared home ownership could help address affordability challenges by allowing multiple buyers to jointly purchase and manage property, along with the technical and legal infrastructure required to make that process safe and practical. Key Takeaways Founder background: Brett Humphrey spent decades as a software engineer and consultant before launching Joynt, an idea he had been considering since the early 2000s. Affordability challenge: The core problem Joynt aims to address is housing affordability, particularly in expensive markets like Southern California. Co-ownership model: Joynt enables multiple parties to co-own a home, providing tools and frameworks to handle ownership structure, responsibilities, and ongoing management. Making co-ownership practical: The platform focuses on reducing the complexity and risk of shared ownership by providing software tools and structured agreements. Shift in industry thinking: The discussion highlights the need for the real estate industry to think beyond traditional home purchases and consider alternative ownership models. Timing and market conditions: Rising home prices and affordability pressures make shared ownership models increasingly relevant.

C'est l'une des hantises du Qatar : se retrouver isolé du reste du monde par une guerre ou un événement géopolitique majeur, comme lors du blocus mis en place par ses voisins en 2017 pour protester contre sa politique étrangère. L'offensive israélo-américaine sur l'Iran a rappelé cette menace. Mais depuis 2017, le pays a constitué des stocks stratégiques et il a surtout encouragé la production locale.  De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Doha, Tomates, concombres, poivrons ou encore champignons, depuis quelques années, l'agriculture locale est en plein boom et manger qatarien est même devenu, pour certains, un devoir national. Il fait déjà près de 30°C ce matin dans cette ferme au milieu du désert. Paré d'une dishdasha – cette longue tunique blanche portée dans le Golfe –, Nasser Al Khalaf fait le tour de son exploitation. « Là, c'est de la menthe qu'on fait pousser à même l'eau, sans terre. Les eaux comprennent les nutriments nécessaires aux racines. Au Qatar, on utilise la menthe pour le thé mais aussi dans les salades », explique le directeur d'Agrico. À une heure de Doha, des concombres et des champignons germent dans des salles qui ressemblent à des datacenters. À quelques mètres de là, 700 000 tilapias – des poissons d'eau douce – s'ébattent dans des cuves. « Comme dit mon père, si c'est possible au Qatar, c'est possible sur la Lune ! », s'exclame Nasser Al Khalaf.  À grand recours de climatiseurs, de ventilateurs et de technologies de pointe, l'impossible surgit en plein désert. Premier émetteur de CO₂ par habitant, le Qatar fait passer sa sécurité alimentaire avant les considérations écologiques. « C'est de notre devoir de participer à la sécurité alimentaire du Qatar, je suis très heureux et très fier d'y participer, affirme celui qui dirige Agrico. 10 tonnes de légumes sortent d'ici chaque jour. En tout, dans la ferme, on a une production de 5 000 tonnes par an. Et notre ambition, c'est d'arriver à 7 000 tonnes de production annuelle. »  Désormais autosuffisant en lait, le Qatar espère produire 55 % de ses fruits et légumes d'ici 2030.

Un secteur hautement stratégique Dans les allées de l'université du Qatar, nous retrouvons Kamal Usman, un chercheur nigérian. Après le blocus décrété en 2017 par des voisins du Qatar, il a été désigné pour prendre la tête du pôle de recherche agricole de l'établissement.  « C'est un secteur hautement stratégique pour le pays. Les autorités nous demandent de fournir des informations qui peuvent les aider à définir leurs politiques, indique le chercheur. Les investissements ont atteint de nouveaux paliers. L'université débloque des fonds importants. On reçoit aussi des subventions étatiques. L'intérêt pour ce secteur augmente et les investissements aussi. »  Depuis le début des frappes iraniennes sur plusieurs pays du Golfe et la fermeture de son espace aérien, le Qatar, situé juste en face de la République islamique, semble plus que jamais convaincu de son choix.  À lire aussiMondial au Qatar: gazon maudit

Testing sounds simple until you actually try it. Private methods that can't be reached without hacks. Dependency injection that doubles your architecture's complexity before a single assertion runs. Production code that slowly warps around your test suite instead of the other way around. Ben has spent his entire career shipping code without tests, and this week he decided to change that.

Rosamund Pike! What a woman. Famed for her portrayals of razor-sharp, morally complex and deliciously unpredictable characters, she brings that same intriguing duality to this conversation. Thoughtful and quietly rebellious, she reflects on a career that has defied neat narratives from the very beginning. After taking a year out from studying English at University of Oxford to pursue acting, she graduated and stepped straight into the global spotlight as Bond girl Miranda Frost in Die Another Day. From there came a string of unforgettable movies: Pride & Prejudice, Jack Reacher, A Private War and Saltburn. Her chilling performance in Gone Girl earned her an Oscar nomination and she took home a Golden Globe for I Care a Lot. In 2025, she returned to the stage for the first time in 15 years in the National Theatre's production of Inter Alia. In this episode, she talks about her ‘failure' to get married, the realities of raising two sons and her decision not to read a single review of her work for the past 25 years. Plus why she's ‘constantly in battle' with her own fear, her failure to be an action movie hero, her miserable attempt to cook a rabbit and whether or not she's ‘cool'. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:18 No reviews rule 06:57 Early perfectionism and stage craft 07:58 Inter Alia and modern womanhood 10:09 Luminate meditation mask 12:42 Failure to learn Chinese 19:09 Onstage mishaps and acting roles 28:59 What Cool Really Means 29:26 Cool Girl vs Amy 32:21 Failing at Being An Action Star 36:52 Failure to Get Married 45:17 Mothering Two Boys 47:28 Smells and Teen Hygiene 48:44 Rabbit Dinner and Being Enough

Founders of BSM Media Group and the award‑winning BSM Magazine. The conversation covers beauty standards, entrepreneurship, their journey from a one-page blog during the recession to becoming media entrepreneurs, the highs and lows of their career, their spiritual grounding, their historic interview with Oprah Winfrey, and their mission to create dignified, uplifting media. Purpose of the Interview The interview serves to: ⭐ Highlight the twins’ entrepreneurial journey How they built BSM Magazine and BSM Media Group from scratch during the 2008 recession. ⭐ Discuss their philosophy on beauty, representation, and purpose They emphasize inner beauty, authenticity, and rejecting societal pressure—values that shape their platform and interviews. ⭐ Inspire entrepreneurs Through transparency about lows (being undervalued) and highs (interviewing Oprah), they demonstrate resilience, faith, and consistency. ⭐ Showcase their impact Including discovering rising talent early (e.g., Tabitha Brown), providing media opportunities, and evolving into producers, writers, and content creators. Key Takeaways 1. The Origin of BSM Magazine Started as a one‑page business blog during the 2008 recession to serve rising entrepreneurs. They credit the magazine’s creation as “something that God gave us.” Their natural creativity as twins carried over from childhood. 2. Inner Beauty and Authenticity They define beauty as inner strength, confidence, and embracing the way God created you. Social media culture magnifies appearance, but they insist “outer beauty must align with inner beauty.” 3. Sustaining Success Their differentiation comes from focusing on: Quality content Spotlighting overlooked talent Doing things mainstream outlets often ignore They interviewed Tabitha Brown before she became widely known and gave actress Essence Atkins her first magazine cover. 4. Challenges and Low Points Being undervalued and overlooked in the media industry. Being judged by numbers or pushed to the back of the line. Yet, they emphasize:“That ‘no’ comes back around … bigger and better.” 5. High Points Their divine‑timed interview with Oprah in April 2018: They put Oprah on a vision board in January. LaTasha tweeted her daily for six months. Oprah unexpectedly turned around on the red carpet and approached them for an interview.This became a milestone moment in their career. 6. Operating a Media Company as Twins They learned to respect each other’s strengths: LaTasha: writing, articles, layouts Latrisha: creative direction and balance Their partnership is spiritually rooted and purpose-driven. 7. Expanding Beyond a Magazine The magazine now lives under BSM Media Group, which produces: Celebrity content Corporate and government media The Twins a Media Show They evolved into scriptwriters, producers, and consultants. 8. Longevity Comes From Quality They prioritize: Clean, dignified media Positive storytelling Production standards They tell entrepreneurs not to focus on numbers—focus on quality, and longevity will follow. Notable Quotes On Beauty “Inner beauty has such a powerful way of allowing us to be our true selves.” “Embrace your eyes, your nose, your hips—all the way God made you.” “Imagine if everybody operated in their own lane. That signifies beauty at its highest level.” On Entrepreneurship “We realized we were in the business of seeing people—because we were the underdogs.” “Don’t worry about your numbers. Quality will always stand.” “Sometimes your visions are crazy, and they don’t make sense to people—but believe anyway.” On Overcoming Doubt “A low point is being undervalued—but God has a sense of humor. That ‘no’ comes back around.” “We’ve heard it all. You need layers of skin to accept when someone thinks you're not good enough.” On Their Oprah Moment “She turned around, walked past everyone, and came straight to us.” “Nobody but God—and a little effort from Tasha!” On Partnership “God made us twins for a reason. I couldn’t do this journey without her.” “Working in business taught me more about my sister than growing up together ever did.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
