Freddie sits down with Peter Simonson — a Georgia Tech-trained mechanical engineer who invented Medtronic's TSRH-3D spinal implant system before turning his focus to bone health as President and Co-Founder of Juvent — for a deep dive into micro-impact therapy and why bone may be the most overlooked organ system in longevity conversations. Peter walks through the history of vitamin discovery, starting with scurvy and vitamin C, as a framework for understanding micro-impact as a daily mechanical requirement rather than a treatment for any single condition. From there, the conversation moves into the engineering itself: why the Juvent Micro-Impact Platform® is capped at 0.3G, how frequency and load are two entirely different safety variables, and why a body of vibration-safety literature exists in occupational safety research that most clinicians have never encountered. Peter also references a study conducted at St. Jude on bone density outcomes in pediatric transplant patients, and the two share personal family stories — Freddie's mother and Peter's mother — about osteoporosis and mobility later in life. Note: this conversation covers emerging research and technology. Some figures and studies mentioned reflect the guest's own citations and firsthand experience shared in conversation.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Wendy's ongoing executive turnover, Taco Bell's celebrity partnership, and sales data that's good news for independent restaurants. First up is Wendy's, which announced that Tariq Hassan — formerly chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald's — would be joining the company as chief marketing and customer growth officer. It continues the shakeup at Wendy's under new CEO Bob Wright, who told the Wall Street Journal this week that previous leadership had been more committed to cost cutting than quality. Sam and Alicia discuss Hassan's hire and other changes that could be putting Wendy's on the right track. Next they look at Wendy's competitors McDonald's and Burger King, and particularly how they're doubling down on their chicken nuggets. McDonald's brought back its Spicy Chicken McNuggets for the first time in six years — and perhaps it's not a coincidence that it's at the same time that Burger King announced it had upgraded its own chicken nuggets so that they include 100% white meat chicken and a crispier breading. Why the sudden attention on chicken nuggets? Sam and Alicia break it down. They then shift their attention to Taco Bell, which introduced a new Baja Blast in partnership with pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo. The You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast will initially be available at Taco Bell's Live Mas Cafe locations before rolling out nationwide. Sam and Alicia discuss why this partnership is different than other celebrity collaborations, and why authenticity is so important for brands looking to leverage partnerships for their marketing. New sales data shows that independent restaurants may be faring better than chains with consumers' recent foodservice spend, and Sam and Alicia break that down next. Data from Bank of America shows that consumer spending on restaurants is up, but while fast-food, fast-casual, and casual chains are only experiencing increases of less than a percentage point, indies and regional concepts are enjoying gains around 4%. Why is that? They look into the data and what historical clues can tell us.They close things out with a Quick Fire round of headlines, including Chipotle's popular BOGOs, Pizza Hut's NFL campaign, Papa Johns' PopUp Bagels partnership, and Chick-fil-A's closure of its Little Blue Menu concept.

Listener Q&A, covering nine different questions/topics from building bike power as a runner and a collegiate swimmer moving back into triathlon, through what actually makes us fatigue during a threshold effort, to swimskins, power duration curves and lots more. We do listener Q&As monthly, the last Thursday every month. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Building the bike as a runner: why heart rate sits lower on the bike than on the run, whether that gap matters, and what it says about where the limiter is. Plus how to use a daily 20 km ride towing a 25 kg dog trailer. A 193 cm, 100 kg collegiate swimmer moving back into triathlon: the engine-stronger-than-the-chassis problem, a run progression specified down to the minute, and why Mikael gets more conservative every time he coaches this profile. Why the maximal lactate steady state is a steady state for lactate and not for the whole body, what keeps drifting while lactate holds flat, and what one study found when it looked for the system that fails at exhaustion. How long you can actually hold MLSS, against the 40 minutes the question assumed, how much that varies between athletes, and where critical power sits relative to it. Swimskins: whether they give you any of the buoyancy a wetsuit does, the performance, drag and energy cost numbers from the closest pool research, and the thing that matters more than the brand and price tag. Whether a swimskin does more for a fast swimmer or a slow one. Reading your own power duration curve with nobody to compare against: the TrainingPeaks chart to start from, why a flat profile means something different for a triathlete than a cyclist, and Strava as a stand-in database. Mikael's W' bands for male and female age group triathletes, on record for the first time, plus the critical power ratio from close to a hundred of his own athletes' tests. Quickfire round on altitude, heat and the CORE sensor, run volume by intensity, and vegan nutrition.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Taco Bell's nostalgic menu, Jack in the Box's CEO-in-waiting, and Chipotle's Gen Alpha influencer partnership. First up is Taco Bell, which never lacks for menu news. The brand introduced three new energy drinks — the Pineapple Citrus Energy Refresher, Strawberry Tropics Energy Refresher, and the Pineapple Citrus Energy Freeze — as well as the Chicken Enchilada Nacho Fries LTO. But it also reintroduced its Decades menu, honoring the nostalgia of 2016 with an LTO menu that features the Naked Chicken Chalupa, Meximelt, Beefy Crunch Burrito, and Caramel Apple Empanada. Sam and Alicia unpack the menu additions and especially dig into the idea of nostalgia, noting how Taco Bell and other brands are leveraging it to attract young customers in particular.Next they discuss Jack in the Box, which hired Taco Bell's chief brand officer Taylor Montgomery as president. The company announced that Montgomery would be promoted to CEO within the next 12 months, and Sam and Alicia discuss that strategy and how it might incentivize Montgomery to score some quick for a brand that sorely needs them.They tackle McDonald's next, and specifically how the Golden Arches has been losing lower-income consumers for the past seven years. Recent data from Numerator shows that the share of McDonald's guests who make less than $50,000 has been shrinking since 2019, with the firm estimating that it has cost the company $310 million in sales. Sam and Alicia talk about why that's a problem for McDonald's, but also about why there are other economic warning signs suggesting that lower income consumers are pulling back on their discretionary spend broadly — and how it could negatively impact restaurants. They shift their attention next to Chipotle, which partnered with Gen Alpha influencer Salish Matter on the Salish Matter Meal — a Kid's Cheese Quesadilla with white rice, black beans, guacamole, kid's chips, and chocolate milk. Aside from making Sam and Alicia — both parents of Gen Alpha kids — feel old, it also gives them a chance to talk about the spending power of kids today and how their opinions are increasingly shaping where their parents dine out. They close things out with Quick Fire round of headlines, including Panera's new tiered loyalty program, Starbucks' latest round of layoffs, and California Pizza Kitchen's new vending machines.

The boys are heading back to the decade of slick crime flicks, sharp dialogue and Hollywood cool for our Get Shorty 1995 Movie Review. This is peak John Travolta, riding the post-Pulp Fiction wave; Gene Hackman is doing comedy without really doing comedy, and Dennis Farina has arrived to swear at practically everyone in Los Angeles.Welcome back to Born to Watch, the Movie Review Podcast where we don't take the movies or ourselves too seriously.This week Whitey and Gow are joined by a returning Dan, who has finally wandered back into the studio after his extended sabbatical. It doesn't take long before old stories, old insults and the questionable exploits of 1990s G start flying around the room.But eventually, somehow, we get to Get Shorty.Adapted from the Elmore Leonard novel and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, Get Shorty drops loan shark Chili Palmer into Hollywood and quickly discovers that the movie business might be even more crooked than organised crime. Chili comes to Los Angeles chasing money and ends up chasing something completely different, a shot at the movies.And nobody could play Chili Palmer quite like John Travolta.The boys dig into Travolta's incredible mid-'90s resurgence and why Chili might be one of his coolest performances. This isn't the dialled-up Travolta of Face/Off or the villainous version from Broken Arrow. Chili is controlled, confident, charismatic and almost impossible to rattle. As Whitey puts it, he's basically Vincent Vega without the heroin problem.Then there's Gene Hackman as B-movie producer Harry Zimm. Hackman was apparently reluctant to play comedy, which makes his performance even better. He plays Harry almost completely straight while chaos unfolds around him, and the result is bloody funny.Rene Russo brings Karen Flores to life, Danny DeVito sends up the Hollywood superstar as Martin Weir, Delroy Lindo is outstanding as Bo Catlett, and a pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini turns up as Bear.But then there's Dennis Farina.Farina's Ray "Bones" Barboni has no interest in becoming a producer, landing a movie deal or joining Hollywood's endless bullshit machine. He wants his money. That's it. His delivery, aggression, and complete inability to understand why everyone else is suddenly obsessed with making movies produce some of the episode's biggest laughs. By the time the boys get to Star of the Show, Farina is very much in the conversation.The real star, however, might be the dialogue.The boys talk about how Get Shorty captures Elmore Leonard's distinctive rhythm, humour and effortless conversations. Whitey remembers absolutely hammering this movie after first seeing it at Hoyts with the boys, watching it repeatedly on VHS because he loved the back-and-forth between the characters.That leads perfectly into Film School for F-Wits, where Dan dives into Elmore Leonard. Get Shorty was Leonard's favourite adaptation of his work, and the boys explore the run that also gave us Jackie Brown and Out of Sight. Dan also breaks down Leonard's famous approach to writing, including natural dialogue, avoiding unnecessary exposition and one beautifully simple philosophy: if your writing sounds like writing, rewrite it.There's also plenty buried in Listen to This, including the actors considered for Chili Palmer, Danny DeVito originally being lined up for the role, James Gandolfini's performance attracting the attention of David Chase, Tarantino's connection to the project and Travolta's determination to protect Leonard's dialogue.Add The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, 1995 movie memories, Quickfire, quotables and the G-Man's wonderfully ridiculous Born to Get Shorty Kick Arse Credit Song, and we've got ourselves another proper Born to Watch outing.Is Get Shorty still one of the smartest crime comedies of the '90s? Does Travolta's Chili Palmer remain one of cinema's coolest operators? And can Dennis Farina steal an entire movie simply by being Dennis Farina?There's only one way to find out.Join Whitey, Gow and Dan as Born to Watch heads to Hollywood, where everybody wants to be in the movie business, even the gangsters.#GetShorty #GetShortyMovie #JohnTravolta #GeneHackman #DennisFarina #ElmoreLeonard #90sMovies #MovieReview #MoviePodcast #BornToWatch

Club captain Jake Taylor joins Mike for an inside look at Sutton United as the club prepares for a new National League season.From joining Reading's academy at just eight years old to leading Sutton's rebuilt squad, Jake discusses the experiences that shaped him as both a player and a captain. He explains the importance of leaving the academy environment to play men's football, how loan spells helped him grow up and why his career has taken him from right-back and striker to his current role anchoring the midfield.Jake also reveals why he chose to join Sutton while the club was bottom of the table last season, what the young squad lacked during that difficult campaign and how the arrival of more experienced players has changed the balance of the group.The conversation covers the responsibilities that come with being club captain, mentoring younger teammates, dealing with criticism on social media and creating a dressing room where players genuinely enjoy working together.Jake describes a brutal but carefully planned pre-season, including the enormous distances covered by the squad, and explains why every session has been designed to make Sutton one of the fittest teams in the National League.He also discusses the ruthless and relentless standards demanded by manager Chris Agutter, the squad's ambition to challenge for promotion and why nobody has joined Sutton simply to settle for a comfortable mid-table season.There is also time for some dressing-room quickfire questions, including the loudest player, the funniest teammate, the squad's questionable fashion choices and who might make the best manager after retiring.Chapters00:00 Introduction and the shoebox trophy03:15 Early career at Reading Academy07:40 Developing through the loan system11:20 Footballing influences and Gianfranco Zola14:50 Mentoring the next generation18:15 Why Jake joined Sutton United22:30 Reflecting on a difficult first season26:45 Handling social media and pressure30:10 The role of the club captain34:25 Building squad unity38:10 Working with Agi41:50 Quickfire questions and dressing-room chat45:30 Surviving a brutal pre-season48:45 Promotion ambitions and a message to supportersWhat are your expectations for Sutton this season?

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including a flurry of earnings reports that paint a mostly positive picture for restaurants. They kick things off with some encouraging news: Starbucks same-store sales climbed 7.9% in the most recent quarter, including a 4.2% transaction increase, demonstrating real progress in its ongoing turnaround efforts. The coffee giant's results show that CEO Brian Niccol's plan to reinvest in Starbucks as a third place is working, and Sam and Alicia break down what's going right — from operational improvements to food innovation to enhanced customer experience — and how Starbucks can build more momentum in a busy coffee category.They follow that up with a discussion on other restaurant companies that experienced sales growth last quarter, including Chipotle (which posted its best quarter since 2024), Yum Brands (which does not yet factor in the Pizza Hut transaction or cyclospora's effect on Taco Bell), BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, and The Cheesecake Factory. Then they break down what's going on at Wingstop, which posted -7.5% sales last quarter, its fifth consecutive quarterly decline.They next turn their attention to Jersey Mike's and its roller coaster IPO journey; the sandwich chain's stock dropped 6% on its first day of trading before rebounding in the following days. Sam and Alicia discuss the market conditions affecting the IPO, what this means for Jersey Mike's future, and what it signals about investor sentiment toward restaurant stocks right now. They then wrap up with a Quick Fire round covering additional industry news and trends, including Panera Bread's HQ move and DoorDash's exploration of drone delivery.

Wes grew up moving constantly — different states, different countries, new friends every few years. The one constant was story: books, movies, television. He wrote plays as a kid. He built a career in tech. And the whole time he watched the craft of storytelling get worse while he waited for someone to do something about it. Eventually he realized nobody was coming. So he built it himself: Brotherhood of the Wolf, an independent graphic novel series he describes as Berserk meets Black Hawk Down — published in print only, drawn by professors from one of Italy's serious comic schools, with fifteen issues mapped out and a video game in pre-production. In this conversation: •Why story reaches people emotionally when facts and figures never move the needle •The doorman story — how a consulting firm saved a hotel chain money and cost it customers, because nobody counted what the doorman actually did •What corporate structure does to creativity, and why skin in the game changes how you think •The case for print: first editions, resale value, and why digital ownership is really just renting •Media as diet — what you consume shapes you whether you're paying attention or not •Wes on Hollywood's long record with Muslim and Arab characters, and building the stories he wanted his kids to have •Quickfire round: dark fantasy, Berserk, and the most misunderstood villain in film The takeaway: the people and things a spreadsheet can't measure are usually the ones holding everything together. That's true of a doorman, and it's true of the stories you let into your house.

In this episode of the Edufuturists podcast, we chat with Andrew Young, social sciences teacher, co-director of a Teaching School Hub in York, and author of Adaptive Teaching: Culture to Classroom, published by Crown House. Andrew has spent 14 years in education, from an unexpectedly early stint as deputy head of sixth form in London to his current role co-leading a hub supporting 250 schools a year across coastal, rural and urban North Yorkshire.We cover:- Why adaptive teaching depends on the local context a school sits in, not a one-size-fits-all playbook- What an inclusive classroom actually looks like when you strip away the jargon- Why high challenge has to be matched with high support, and how "we" beats "me"- The exam overload facing GCSE students and what it's doing to cognitive load- Why the curriculum needs more breadth: arts, dance, computing, AI and citizenship- The hidden financial barriers that stop disadvantaged pupils accessing enrichment- Why success shouldn't be measured by grades alone, and what schools can do instead- The four ingredients of adaptive teaching: culture, brains, teaching and curriculum- The danger of deficit language and labelling pupils by what they can't doIf you've ever wondered why some pupils switch off from school entirely, or you want practical ways to make classrooms work for every learner regardless of the label attached to them, this conversation gives you a genuine framework rather than another vague call to "differentiate more."Chapters00:00 Highlights01:53 Welcome to the podcast04:46 Andrew Young joins the show05:26 Andrew's journey into teaching08:12 Life as a Teaching School Hub co-director10:20 Why context matters for adaptive teaching15:57 Socialisation, homeschooling and alternative paths22:24 What does an inclusive classroom actually look like24:46 High challenge, high support and the power of "we"31:13 Rethinking a one-size-fits-all curriculum32:37 "Too many vegetarians dining in steakhouses"35:02 Assessment overload and broadening the curriculum37:21 Enrichment, disadvantage and hidden barriers41:34 Alternative pathways and shifting what success means44:03 Milestones, character and personal development47:23 The four ingredients of adaptive teaching53:37 Labels, deficit language and cognitive load55:19 Quickfire questions57:31 Wrap up and where to find the bookGrab a copy of Andrew's bookThanks so much for joining us again for another episode - we appreciate you.Ben & Steve xCheck out all about EdufuturistsWant to sponsor future episodes or get involved with the Edufuturists work?Get in touchGrab your copy of the new Pick 'n' Mix Education bookJoin the Edufuturists Wolfpack

Around 35 for a superintendent.He is not describing a company that failed to adopt technology. He is describing one that adopted a lot of it and is now counting the cost.His point on this week's episode was not that the tools are bad. Several of themwork. It is that digging foundations, placing concrete and erecting steel have not fundamentally changed, while the process wrapped around those activities has grown exponentially more complex.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including the origin of the cyclosporiasis outbreak, the troubling rise in bankruptcies and closures, and a wave of new marketing campaigns aimed at winning back customers. They start with some explosive news related to the recent outbreak of cyclosporiasis: Investigators believe the origin of the outbreak was Taylor Farms in Michigan, and specifically iceberg lettuce provided to Taco Bell and potentially other restaurants. The news led to Taco Bell removing lettuce from the menu in select states. The duo breaks down what cyclospora is, how these outbreaks happen in the supply chain, and what this means for both Taylor Farms and Taco Bell as they work to contain the situation and restore consumer confidence. They discuss the broader implications for restaurant food safety protocols and how quickly brands need to respond when these incidents occur.Next, they tackle a sobering trend that's been accelerating in recent months: the increasing number of restaurant bankruptcies and store closures across the industry. From legacy chains to newer concepts, more brands are filing for bankruptcy protection or announcing significant unit reductions. Sam and Alicia explore the root causes behind this wave of financial distress, including persistent traffic challenges, rising operational costs, and overleveraged balance sheets.On a more optimistic note, Sam and Alicia then shift their attention to marketing, highlighting new campaigns from several major players including Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, and Olive Garden. Each brand is taking a different approach to cut through the noise and reconnect with consumers — whether through nostalgia, value messaging, product innovation, or experiential activations. The duo analyzes what's working, what's not, and which campaigns have the best chance of actually driving traffic and sales in an environment where consumers are increasingly selective about where they spend their dining dollars.They close out with a Quick Fire round covering the latest industry headlines — including Texas Roadhouse's delivery test, Papa Murphy's closure of 50 stores, and Chipotle's first location in Mexico — before turning things over to senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn, who interviews Shake Shack's senior director of culinary innovation, Nick Wuest.For more on these stories:Taylor Farms lettuce supplied to Taco Bell linked to cyclosporia outbreakAnother big Hardee's franchisee declares bankruptcyPanera's Unlimited Sip Club will no longer be unlimited

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including McDonald's and Burger King's new chicken tests, Wonder's potential IPO, and the proliferation of tiered value menus. They kick things off with product news from two of the biggest players in quick service: McDonald's and Burger King are both exploring new premium chicken products, with Burger King offering two new chicken sandwich LTOs and McDonald's testing hand-breaded chicken tenders and wings. Sam and Alicia explore what's driving this renewed focus on elevated chicken offerings, how these products fit into each brand's broader menu strategy, and whether premium items can coexist with the value-focused messaging that's dominating the industry right now. They then shift to the explosion of tiered value menus across the restaurant landscape, from brands like Wendy's, Taco Bell, and McDonald's. A Technomic representative believes the marketplace has become too oversaturated, making it harder for brands to break through the noise with a value message. Sam and Alicia discuss whether these promotions are actually driving incremental traffic or simply cannibalizing sales from existing customers, and what this means for brand differentiation in an increasingly crowded field. Next up, they dig into Kura Sushi's recent earnings report, which revealed negative traffic and sales trends. The conveyor belt sushi chain cited rising gas prices and tariff-related pressures as key factors impacting consumer behavior and operational costs. Sam and Alicia unpack how macroeconomic forces are creating challenges for restaurants like Kura — but also discuss the silver lining that Kura can look to as it grows across the country. Then they talk about Wonder, the multi-brand delivery concept backed by Marc Lore that is reportedly considering an IPO. Sam and Alicia discuss what makes Wonder's business model unique, whether the public markets are ready for another restaurant IPO after Jersey Mike's recent filing, and what this could signal about investor appetite for innovative restaurant concepts. They wrap up with a Quick Fire round covering the latest industry buzz and headlines you need to know, including Taco Bell's increased use of drive-thru AI, Chipotle's investment in six companies via its Cultivate Next fund, and the lack of women being hired for executive roles. Finally, we share an interview between managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister and The Granola Bar cofounders Julie Mountain and Dana Noorily, recorded in person at the National Restaurant Association Show.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Jersey Mike's imminent IPO, the latest jobs report, and a trend in mass restaurant closures. Fresh off an exciting weekend of World Cup action, Sam and Alicia start with the summer of marketing initiatives, which have leaned heavily into the World Cup as well as America's 250th anniversary and blockbuster movie promotions. Restaurant marketers are just doing their jobs, but are these campaigns breaking through the noise? Sam and Alicia break down some examples and the best ways that brands are connecting with consumers. Next they discuss the latest jobs data, which showed restaurants shedding about 33,000 jobs in June — a concerning statistic considering it's the first full month of summer. Sam and Alicia walk through the many reasons for this retrenchment in jobs and discuss why it could be bad news for an industry desperate to turn sales and traffic around in 2026. They then shift their attention to restaurant closures, and Alicia shares her recent reporting on how there's been an uptick in restaurant chains closing a sizable chunk of their systems. What could be to blame? And how should the industry respond to this kind of trend? Sam and Alicia break it down. Then, some positive news: Jersey Mike's filed its S-1 document in the latest step toward what is anticipated to be a massive IPO. Sam and Alicia talk about why Jersey Mike's is perfectly positioned for the public markets — and why the best could still yet to be come for the chain. Finally, they close out with a Quick Fire round in which they cover Just Salad's addition of New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson as equity partner, Red Lobster's Endless Shrimp-related lawsuit, and El Pollo Loco's efforts to go national.For more on these stories: The restaurant industry helped birth America and is now celebrating its 250th anniversaryRestaurants and bars shed a lot of jobs in JuneJersey Mike's makes its IPO official

Sami Kayyali is the founder and managing director of Rekarda, one of the most specialist communications businesses in the UAE. But the work he does is not what most people think. He is not building slides. He is sitting behind the scenes of the rooms where the most consequential decisions in the region get made, shaping how CEOs, government entities and multinational boards communicate before they walk into the moments that define their careers. With over 20 years of experience, Sami has watched brilliant leaders with brilliant ideas lose the room, not because the idea was wrong, but because nobody had ever told them the truth about how they were coming across. This conversation covers building a specialist consultancy from the ground up in Dubai, the hidden work behind high-stakes presentations, what AI is doing to leadership communication, and the one pattern he sees in every single boardroom that almost nobody is willing to talk about.   Timestamps: 0:00 Who Sami Kayyali is and the work that happens before leaders walk into high-stakes rooms 3:30 What brought him to Dubai and the gap in the market he spotted that nobody else was filling 10:00 How a presentation design business became a full strategic communications company 16:00 The moment he realised the problem was never the slides, it was always the thinking behind them 22:00 The biggest communication mistakes CEOs make and why nobody ever tells them 30:00 What actually happens behind the scenes before a major board meeting or investor presentation 38:00 Can you tell within minutes whether a leader is a strong communicator and what gives it away 45:00 How AI is changing executive communication and why most leaders are getting worse, not better 53:00 The Kernel, cybersecurity and why it is a leadership problem, not an IT problem 60:00 Failure, what success means to him now versus ten years ago and the advice that changed everything 66:00 Quickfire: favourite books, the worst phrase in any business deck, the most underrated communication skill, PowerPoint loved or hated, AI as a creative shortcut or a creative risk, and one thing every CEO should fix tomorrow   Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076 https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/ https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/   Follow Sam Kayyali on Social Media: linkedin.com/in/samikayyali https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearerekarda/ https://www.instagram.com/wearerekarda https://www.facebook.com/hello.rekarda

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Tom Fordyce and Sids react to England making it through the World Cup group stages and look ahead to the knockout rounds. The lads discuss where England sit among the tournament favourites, whether stronger opposition might actually suit them better, and why Marcus Rashford, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane could still have a major role to play as the tournament opens up.There is also plenty of classic nonsense along the way. Sids talks through his unexpectedly therapeutic trip to an LA laundrette, Tom reveals how he accidentally got into a swimming pool on a senior citizen discount, and the lads lose themselves in an obscure 90s footballer rabbit hole before attempting their best David Beckham eyebrow impressions.The boys are then joined by Aston Villa legend and former Colombia international Juan Pablo Ángel. Pablo reflects on arriving at Villa from River Plate, landing in England without speaking the language, being unveiled at Villa Park before the move was even fully signed, and adapting to the speed, pressure and culture of the Premier League. He also opens up on growing up in Medellín, learning football on the streets, the intensity of Boca Juniors vs River Plate, representing Colombia, scoring against Brazil and Argentina, and why MLS is far more competitive than many people realise.The lads also return for another round of Paddy Power Chaos Cards, reviewing the latest leaderboard after LeBron James' unlikely contribution, before making their predictions for the next round of World Cup action. With bonus points on the line and bragging rights at stake, there's no shortage of confidence, controversy and classic TPCP chaos.As always, leave your comments below and let us know who you'd love to see in the Chumbawamba next!00:00 Intro00:38 LA adventures03:00 England's World Cup hopes12:21 Juan Pablo Ángel joins20:01 Growing up in Colombia25:59 Boca vs River32:14 Aston Villa & the Premier League38:26 Playing for Colombia43:58 Building MLS49:00 Quickfire questions51:50 Brummie accent challenge53:30 Farewell to Juan Pablo Ángel53:45 Starkey in CANADA?56:33 Paddy Power Chaos Card01:10:45 Looking ahead to the knockoutsFor more Peter Crouch:Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouchTherapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouchFor more Chris Stark:Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell:Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwellInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14For more Tom Fordyce:Twitter - https://twitter.com/tomfordyce#PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast #JuanPabloAngel Hosted on Acast.

Dennis McGettigan is the founder and CEO of McGettigan's, one of the most recognisable hospitality brands in the UAE. But the story behind it starts in Dublin, in a house with ten children run "like a business", where the kitchen was locked at 7pm and every kid got jobs and five pounds a week. His father started as a dishwasher on the QE1 at nineteen, bought his first pub for eight thousand pounds in 1964, and built a hotel empire across Ireland, the UK and eventually Dubai.  This conversation is about grit. The 2008 crash that left him with zero revenue and hundreds of millions in exposure. The international expansion he opened in three weeks and closed during Covid. And the personal side too: his wife Nicola's cancer and recovery, told through a racehorse and a moment at Royal Ascot that still moves him.  This is one of the most grounded, human conversations about what it actually takes to build something that lasts.    Timestamps:  0:00 Growing up one of ten in Dublin, a house run like a business, the kitchen locked at 7pm  6:30 His father: from dishwasher on the QE1 to a pub empire across Ireland and the UK  12:15 Why he would hire work ethic over a university degree every single time  14:00 The Burlington Hotel, the 2008 crash, and becoming a fireman putting out fires  18:30 How McGettigan's was born from one simple idea: a bar he wanted to go to himself  36:45 Where he got it wrong: New York, Singapore, Jakarta and the cost of moving too fast  44:00 The £70 million monster in JBR and the deal he signed right as the conflict began  52:18 Why he believes Dubai will bounce back bigger than ever  1:14:00 Nicola's cancer, a racehorse at Royal Ascot, and the moment that still moves him  1:04:00 Quickfire: one word for Dubai 2026 and the hardest phone call he ever makes    Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076 https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/ https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/    Follow Dennis McGettigan on Social Media:  https://www.instagram.com/dennismcgettigan/?hl=en  https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennismcgettigan/  https://www.linkedin.com/company/mcgettigan's-irish-pubs/  https://www.instagram.com/mcgettigansjlt/?hl=en  https://www.instagram.com/mcgettiganspubs/?hl=en   

In this week's episode of Extra Serving, hosts Alicia Kelso and Leigh Anne Zinsmeister dive into the latest developments shaping the restaurant industry. Domino's Pizza makes headlines as CEO Russell Weiner announces his retirement, leaving big shoes to fill for successor Joe Jordan. The duo discusses the legacy of bold campaigns and market share dominance that defined Weiner's tenure. Meanwhile, Darden Restaurants continues to impress with a stellar fourth-quarter performance, driven by Longhorn Steakhouse's record-breaking sales and Olive Garden's steady growth. How do they stay so dominant while other casual-dining chains suffer? The conversation also explores Starbucks' innovative new “coffeehouse coach” role, designed to improve customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Starbucks also announced a new initiative to encourage employees to promote the brand on TikTok. Will it work, or blow up in the company's face? In the Quick Fire round,Alicia and Leigh Anne discuss Wendy's meme-ification, Taco Bell's gamified emotional support taco program, and the industry's summer hiring outlook.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Yum! Brands' sale of Pizza Hut, Jersey Mike's overtaking of Chick-fil-A in a major consumer sentiment study, and KFC's announcement that it was entering a new chapter for growth. First up is Pizza Hut, which was officially sold by Yum! Brands in two transactions totaling $2.7 billion. Sam and Alicia discuss the potential future of the brand, and particularly its U.S. business, which was acquired by relatively new private equity firm LongRange Capital. Can Pizza Hut reclaim the loyalty of fans who are nostalgic for its Classic model? Next up they talk about the most recent American Consumer Satisfaction Index, in which Jersey Mike's came out on top — after 11 years of Chick-fil-A taking the crown. Should Chick-fil-A be worried? Sam and Alicia break down the study and why the data matters (to a point). They then transition to KFC, which announced a new “chapter” in which the company would focus on menu innovation, refreshed branding, and modernized stores. Alicia breaks down all the components of this new chapter, and she and Sam talk about how KFC is well positioned to learn from its global stores here in the U.S. They shift their attention to the increase in store closures — On the Border, for example, is now down to only 6 units — before closing with a Quick Fire round in which they cover Panera Bread's new bowls and McDonald's (brief) reintroduction of its beloved Apple Pie.

Known to millions as Mrs. Moneypenny from her 16 year Financial Times column, Heather has been an investment banker, executive search entrepreneur, Edinburgh Fringe performer, off Broadway actress, PhD holder, chartered accountant and now Provost of Heriot-Watt University Dubai, overseeing 5,500 students and 600 staff. She qualified as a chartered accountant three weeks before her 60th birthday. She borrowed £1.8 million personally to buy a business, then gifted it to her staff. She co-founded the 30% Club when women held just 12% of FTSE board seats. It is now 45%.  This conversation covers all of it. Why she rejects guilt and regret as wasted emotions. What structural barriers actually stop women from getting ahead and how to dismantle them. Why Dubai's greatest advantage is not the skyline but the connectivity and free movement of capital and labour that Europe has quietly forgotten. And what she really thinks about the value of a university degree.  Heather also shares the story behind the Taylor Bennett Foundation, built to help Black and minority ethnic graduates break into professional services, funded from her own dividends, and the moment she knew it was working.    Timestamps:  0:00 Four failed engagements, a baby to feel anchored, and the unvarnished truth about having children  5:30 The queen of reinvention: why preparation meets opportunity and how Heather built her career in layers  7:11 Her one regret: not qualifying as an accountant sooner and why she finally did it at 59  11:19 Dubai versus Singapore versus Hong Kong: what makes this city different from every other global hub  15:46 Living through the missile attacks, what inflation and food security really look like from the inside, and who has barely noticed  21:18 Structural barriers, the 30% Club, and why three women in a room of ten changes everything  27:01 Borrowing £1.8 million, building Taylor Bennett, and then giving it all away  33:49 Mrs. Moneypenny: 16 years, 800 columns, and the barometer story that almost ended her career  39:25 The Taylor Bennett Foundation and why she measures success by impact not money  43:44 Selling out Edinburgh Fringe and performing off Broadway: the chapter nobody expected  52:22 Heriot-Watt Dubai: why they only teach subjects that lead to jobs and what universities are actually for  59:06 Entrepreneurship, incubators and why she finds young people today far more ambitious than her generation  1:01:24 Why she hates the word networking and what building social capital actually means  1:04:09 Quickfire: the best way into investment banking, what every future leader needs, and what Dubai understands that Europe has forgotten    Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media  https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076  https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en  https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge  https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/  https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV  https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/

Top Chef Season 23 Ep 13 Recap Dive into the semifinals of Top Chef Season 23, Episode 13, as Haley Strong, Curt Clark, and Chef Jim Smith break down a night packed with culinary creativity and unforgettable plating choices. The hosts bring their unique perspectives to the table, unpacking not just technical skills but also the strategic decisions that shape a chef's journey to the finale. From dissecting a “20 Questions” inspired Quickfire to the intricacies of plating in quirky vessels, this episode highlights the clever ways chefs adapt and innovate under pressure. The discussion opens with a look at the challenges and nerves from the semifinals, including how this season's editing sheds light on rule enforcement and the presence of legal teams. The conversation quickly veers into the memorable animal encounters on set, like a rogue snake keeping contestants on edge, and personal anecdotes about kitchen critter run-ins that keep things fun and relatable. The team explores how the 20 Questions challenge requires collaboration and chef-level sensory skills, debating which questions made or broke the guessing game and how closely each chef came to recreating Tom's original dish. As the elimination round ramps up, debate flies about whether the creative use of vessels—like driftwood, pumpkins, and even a clothesline—really influences the judges or distracts from the food itself. Each chef's dish is reviewed for execution, inspiration, and how well it met the challenge of form meeting flavor. Key moments and topics include: The chefs' teamwork and tactics in the 20 Questions Quickfire as they chase down flavor profiles without touching or tasting the original dish The impact of memorable plating, from Laurence's family-style dim sum to Sherry's inventive use of a miniature clothesline Debates about when extra ingredients help or hurt, especially when contestants go off-script or miss crucial elements in a replication challenge Nostalgic callbacks to notorious Top Chef plating disasters and how today's contestants learn from the past A look ahead at the finalists, the unpredictability of the finale, and how serving order may change a chef's fate Which chef turns a quirky vessel into victory, and who falls short when innovation clashes with execution?

The latest chef eliminated from Top Chef Season 23, Oscar Diaz, joins The Exclusive to break down the small mistakes and kitchen chaos that led to his exit. Oscar reflects on the pressure of the combined Quickfire and Elimination challenge, the turmeric spill that left his face “on fire,” and why he thinks the judges misunderstood the intention behind his rice dish. He also opens up about the mental toll of filming, constantly moving locations, and trying to stay calm while cameras followed every move in the kitchen. Plus, Oscar shares what viewers didn't fully see about the cast dynamic, how being disconnected from phones and social media changed him during filming, and why he'd absolutely return for another shot — this time “coming for everyone's jugular.”

Top Chef Season 23 Ep 11 Recap The Top Chef coverage continues with Haley Strong, Curt Clark, and guest Jim Smith recapping the highs and lows of the latest episode. As six chefs battle through both a Quickfire centered on peaches and a Michelin-influenced rabbit elimination, strategy and technique take center stage. The hosts dig into how the challenges play out in an outdoor setting and debate what actually makes a dish “Michelin-worthy,” while sprinkling in tales from personal culinary experiences and plenty of food talk. This recap dives into the contestants' reactions to a park-based episode that shifts away from the classic Top Chef kitchen, with the Quickfire ingredients and twists determined by online fan votes. The discussion covers the Try Guys' cameo, the chefs' prep strategies (including prepping for switch-ups mid-challenge), and how everyone handles making crostini after crostini. The elimination challenge tests culinary skills with rabbit as the core ingredient, prompting a debate over the ethics of cooking certain proteins and the technical precision required to avoid dry, disappointing dishes. Along the way, Jim shares his insider knowledge on cooking rabbit and demystifies the process behind Michelin star evaluations that shape the week's elimination. Chefs navigate a fan-voted Quickfire: peaches take center stage, with players prepping for last-minute station swaps and sandwich surprises. Detailed breakdowns of strategies as contestants respond to the twist of inheriting someone else's ingredients mid-challenge. Jim offers firsthand insight into rabbit preparation and reveals why the protein is a true test of technical skill. Judges confront the challenge of defining “Michelin level” cooking—should dishes be classic, avant-garde, or rustic? Personal food stories surface, from struggling with emotional connections to certain proteins to unexpected grocery store moments during shopping runs. Will an ambitious dual-plate strategy pay off, or is “just make one great dish” the smart way to survive at this stage of the competition? Are the chefs rewarded for innovation, or does classic technique win out when the stakes involve a Michelin-inspired challenge? Listen in for informed dish critiques, some food world background, and the group's spirited reactions to one of the season's more debated episodes.
