The Ending Scene With Jacaerys (Jace) & his Dragon Vermax Is So Game Of Thrones... House of the Dragon Season 3 Premiere Reaction, as HBO's epic fantasy series returns with dragons, betrayal, political intrigue, and one of the most devastating battles in the history of the Dance of the Dragons. Hosted by Greg Alba, John Humphrey, & Michael Tessler Limited Time Offer – You Need Fiber. Yes you! Boost your fiber with Huel today using my exclusive offer of 15% OFF online with my code REJECTS at https://www.huel.com/REJECTS. New Customers Only. Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! Featuring dragons clashing above burning fleets, devastating losses at sea, and a tragic ending that reshapes the future of House Targaryen, the episode delivers one of the most shocking and emotionally devastating battles the franchise has ever put to screen. Picking up in the aftermath of Season 2, the episode follows Rhaena Targaryen (Phoebe Campbell — The Last Dragonslayer, Midsomer Murders) as she finally encounters the mysterious wild dragon she has been pursuing, leading to a breathtaking and dangerous first flight that could dramatically alter the balance of power. Meanwhile, King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney — The King, Dunkirk), still scarred from the events of Rook's Rest, flees with Larys Strong (Matthew Needham — The Ritual, Sanditon) to evade the growing threat posed by his increasingly volatile brother, Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell — The Last Kingdom, World on Fire), who continues consolidating power in King's Landing. At Dragonstone, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy — Truth Seekers, Mothering Sunday) prepares to challenge the Triarchy's growing naval threat, while Jacaerys Velaryon (Harry Collett — Dunkirk, Dolittle) attempts to prove himself as a leader by stepping into a role normally reserved for his mother. Alongside Baela Targaryen (Bethany Antonia — Stay Close, Get Even), Jace takes to the skies in one of the episode's most ambitious action sequences. Elsewhere, Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith — Doctor Who, The Crown) secures a crucial alliance with northern forces, strengthening Queen Rhaenyra's position as the realm edges closer to all-out war. The premiere culminates in a massive naval conflict between Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint — Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, It's a Sin), Alyn of Hull (Abubakar Salim — Raised by Wolves, Assassin's Creed Origins), and the forces of the Triarchy led by Sharako Lohar.

From #1 Amazon bestselling author & USA Today bestseller Nikki St. Crowe comes WEST OF WICKED, an unexpected, sexy & dark reimagining of the classic tale, where Dorothy searches for the truth about her origins in the cursed, dark land of Oz. This inventive, fantastical new romance puts a spicy and creative twist on a beloved story, while adding a yellow-brick-road's worth of tension, banter & murder. Complete with a mysterious & charming scarecrow and an axe throwing ‘shadow daddy' tinman, WEST OF WICKED is the perfect new read for fans of Apples Dipped in Gold by Scarlett St. Clair and Neon Gods by Katee Robert. About West of Wicked: Dorothy Gale doesn't know where she came from. At the age of five, she was dropped on Em and Henry's doorstep while a terrible storm rolled across the Kansas prairie. Now as an adult, Dorothy has made the most of her life on the farm. But when a cyclone tears through the night, ripping her, her dog, and the farmhouse away, Dorothy wakes to find herself far from home in the strange, cursed land of Oz. Desperate to find her way back, Dorothy takes the advice of the Witch of the North and sets off on the yellow brick road to find a wizard…with a warning to avoid forest monsters, heartless mercenaries, and wicked witches. It isn't long before Dorothy encounters the dark side of Oz, stumbling on a man beaten and bloody, tied to a pole in a cornfield. Not unlike the scarecrows on the Kansas farm. With no memories, the mysterious stranger joins Dorothy. Rook is ridiculously handsome, endlessly charming, and somehow understands Dorothy in a way no one ever has. But when they cross paths with the infamous Tinman and his axe, Rook proves he may be hiding his own secret. Nothing and no one is what they seem in the cursed land of Oz…maybe even Dorothy herself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

You know that list in your head. I should really get on that. I should be further along. I should be doing more. I should have that handled by now. That list. Here's what I want to say about that list: it's making you miserable. And the worst part? You built it yourself. Often from what you saw on Instagram, what your critical parent modeled, or what the self-help industrial complex told you was possible if you just tried a little harder. This episode is a reality check. Not a permission slip to do nothing. There are real things that need doing and we're going to talk about that too. But there's a difference between what actually needs your attention and the impossible standard you've been holding yourself to. And until you can see that difference clearly, no amount of productivity hacking is going to help. If you're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix, this one's for you. 3 Things You'll Take Away: Your to-do list is lying to you. If it has 35 things on it and you did 15, you didn't fail. You made a list that was never possible to begin with. This episode helps you see that and build one that's actually human-sized.What you're seeing online isn't real life. The woman with the perfect pool and the Hunter boots and the coffee and the garden at 6am? She has a team. Robyn breaks down what it actually costs to live that life and why comparing yourself to it is costing you something too.Presence is the whole point. You can get it all right and still miss it entirely. This episode comes back to what actually matters: being here, in this moment, with yourself and the people you love. ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) Personal growth shouldn't be another thing that burdens your life (03:00) The should list and what it's doing to you (05:00) The Sisyphus boulder you keep rolling up the hill (08:00) Before social media, people didn't try to optimize every category of their life (11:00) The garden metaphor: why front-loaded effort requires everything else to slip (15:00) The Instagram woman with the Hunter boots and what her life actually costs (22:00) The psychological distance between what's true and what's possible (24:00) The 35-item to-do list and why you're beating yourself up for it (27:00) What grief, a garden, a renovation, and a career change all have in common (30:00) The mindfulness piece and why being here now isn't just a platitude (32:00) The Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving address and bringing your mind into the room (34:00) The ADHD piece and why keeping up with anything feels impossible (36:00) The fine line between what you get to do and what you need to do (40:00) Was I present or just busy?

I'm home. And I almost immediately got flattened by some kind of virus that was behaving like pneumonia. I was actually mid-recording when I got super hot out of nowhere, sweaty, and passed out. Two weeks later — here we are. Not exactly the re-entry I planned. But coming home after almost two months away, in the middle of a completely different season than when I left, got me thinking. About what's here now. What's blooming? What needs to go? And what this particular moment in your life might actually be trying to tell you — if you'd slow down long enough to listen. My backyard wisteria is doing something I've never seen in the decade I've lived here. A third of my yard is covered in the most extraordinary purple blooms you've ever seen. The irises just opened their faces to the sun 48 hours ago. The peonies are about to burst. And I keep asking myself — what's the equivalent of that in your life right now? Because here's what I know. Whatever season you're in, whatever's calling you or challenging you or scaring the hell out of you — there's a reason for it. You're being forged for something. And what needs you next will have you as prepared, capable, and whole as you can be — if you lean into what's happening now instead of running from it. That's what this episode is about. 3 Things You'll Take Away: What's actually blooming in your life right now. Not what you think should be happening… what actually is. This episode helps you pause, look around, and get honest about what this season is asking of you.What needs to be composted. The relationships, commitments, and habits that were right for a season that's now over. Letting them go more than loss;  it's how you make room for what's next.Why leaning in is always the move. Whatever you're being forged in right now is preparing you for something. I make the case, with real stories, for why avoidance costs more than it saves. ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) Clarity, Change & Intuitive Growth (04:29) Mastering Change Through Sisterhood (07:59) Overcoming Decision Fatigue at the Gym (11:45) Accountability and Personal Change (13:16) Finding a Workout Routine (19:26) Strength for Life's Challenges (22:12) Embracing Growth and Commitment (24:04) Growth Through Support and Reflection (27:50) Finding Your Right Fit (32:43) Balance in Community Spaces (36:56) Slow Down and Recenter (39:58) Progress, Reality, and Adaptation (41:42) Commit, Progress, Achieve Goals

Change is constant but you know this. And whether you chose it or it chose you: a breakup, a job loss, a move, a diagnosis, an empty nest. At some point you find yourself having to begin again. And beginning again, no matter how many times you've done it, requires you to go back to your fundamentals. That's what this episode is about. I've been in Miami for six weeks, way longer than I planned, and I've been thinking about this a lot. With clients. With my brother Dave. With myself. Because every single one of us, at some point, has to figure out what we actually need when the ground shifts. Not the dream. Not the five-year plan. The basics. Are your essential needs being met? Do you have community? Are you leaning on what you already know how to do? Because you've done hard things before. You have more than you think. And that matters more than you know right now. 3 Things You'll Take Away Return to Your Fundamentals: In times of change—chosen or forced—check in with your basics: Are your essential needs (health, community, stability) being met? What resources and experiences from your past can you bring forward to support you nowBe Willing to Begin Again: Transitions are part of life's cycle. Remember, even if you haven't faced this exact challenge before, you've weathered hard things before. Rely on your resilience and skills from other parts of your journey.Intentionally Build Connection and Habits: Reaching out to new people, joining communities, or starting fresh routines may feel uncomfortable—but these small steps pave the way to bigger transformation and new opportunities. ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) How I work with clients — readings, mentoring, and business consulting (05:00) What happens when life forces you to begin again (13:00) Getting back to the basics — what that actually means (20:00) Making friends in Miami — and why it felt awkward (22:00) Using intuition to connect with new people (27:00) Embracing change even when you didn't choose it (35:00) The fundamentals — shelter, health, food, community, faith (40:00) Challenging yourself and leaning into discomfort (43:00) Showing up for the people you love during big transitions (48:00) Default settings — and how to change them on purpose (58:00) Building habits that actually hold (01:03:00) Pushing through when it's hard (01:04:00) You already have everything you need to begin ✨ Want support through your own transition?

What does it take to transform over 300 wearable devices' worth of chaos into actionable insights powering healthcare, insurance, and wellness? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, we sit down with Marco Benitez, a former taekwondo champion turned biomedical engineer and CEO of Rook, and explore the world where fitness, data integration, and enterprise sales collide. With a background spanning pharmaceutical giants like Roche and Novartis and an entrepreneurial journey starting in Mexico's fitness scene, Marco Benitez reveals how a pivot during the pandemic propelled Rook from hardware struggles to the heart of data analytics, connecting streams from Apple Watches, glucose monitors, and more. Curious how Rook slashed slow B2B sales cycles, won enterprise trust, and turned technical complexity into growth? You'll hear why outcome-based pricing beats per-call costs, how radical transparency is their unexpected sales secret, and the frameworks that help them manage decision-maker committees at every stage of adoption. From real-world insights in pharma to the surprising revenue power of podcast guesting, this episode unpacks why building a data business isn't just about technology. It's about people, persistence, and asking the right questions. Tune in for a candid peek behind the tech and discover what most B2B founders are missing. Some areas we explore in this episode include: Pivot from Hardware to Data Integration: Marco Benitez discusses Rook's transition from creating wearables to unifying health data.Wearables in Healthcare & Insurance: Integration challenges and value for healthcare, insurance, and wellness industries.Data Ownership and Privacy: Consent-driven data sharing and user control over personal health information.Team & Leadership Strengths: Emphasis on discipline, process, and a people-centric leadership style.Shortening Enterprise Sales Cycles: Moving from outbound to inbound-driven growth to accelerate B2B sales.Evidence-Based Selling: Leveraging proof and data to persuade technical and C-level buyers.Navigating Multi-Stakeholder Sales: Tailoring sales approaches to different enterprise personas and industries.Problem-Based Selling: Focusing on solving customer problems rather than listing features.Value/Outcome-Based Pricing: Helping clients view pricing in terms of ROI instead of transaction volume.Radical Transparency and Trust: Building trust through transparency with clients and a distributed team culture.

I needed to get my hair done. That's how this episode started. I'm still in Miami. I keep pushing my return date back, and honestly if you saw the weather here you'd understand and my roots were getting out of control. So I found a salon, I made an appointment, and what happened there turned into a story I've been telling everyone since. When I shared a little of it on social media my DMs blew up. Questions about how my intuition works. Whether people can develop it. What mediumship actually is. What the difference is between hearing your intuition and hearing your fear. So I figured — let me bring this here and answer all of it. This episode is part story, part education, part things I've never shared publicly before.

Host Eric Malzone sits down with Marco Benitez, CEO and Co-founder of ROOK — and former TaeKwondo champion turned biomedical engineer — to get real about where the fitness and wellness industry stands in the age of AI and wearable data. Marco pulls from his background at Roche and Novartis to explain why clean, unified data is the foundation everything else is built on, and why most operators are sitting on gold they don't know how to mine. From pharma clinical trials using Oura rings to track narcolepsy patients, to longevity brands leveraging sleep data to drive upsells, to the looming reality of AI agents reshaping how we interact with health professionals — this conversation doesn't sugarcoat anything. Eric and Marco also dig into the "dead internet" theory, AI hallucinations, self-driving cars, and why soft skills might be the most valuable thing you can develop right now. If you're in fitness, healthcare, or anywhere near the wellness space and you're not thinking seriously about your data strategy, this episode is your wake-up call. Key Takeaways:

Some conversations stay with you. This is one I've been thinking about since the day we recorded it. Kit Yoon has been one of my people since we were teenagers at a tiny boarding school outside of Boston. Now she's a Chinese medicine practitioner, hypnotherapist, and life coach who has spent over 20 years helping people get out of their own way. What we get into in this episode: why the beliefs you formed before age 12 are still quietly making your decisions. Why effort is often the thing that blocks healing — not the thing that creates it. And why the answer to most of what's keeping you stuck isn't more information. It's already inside you. If you've ever known exactly what you should do — and still couldn't do it — this one is for you. 3 Things You'll Take Away Your beliefs are running the show. The box you built before age 12 is still making decisions for you. Seeing it clearly is how you start to change it. You can't effort your way to healing. Real change isn't about pushing harder. It's about learning to receive what's already in you. You have everything you need right now. Not a platitude — a practice. This conversation shows you what it actually looks like. ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) Introducing Kit — and how we met (10:00) Kit's background: from boarding school to Chinese medicine (20:00) The mind-body-intuition intersection (24:00) How childhood beliefs become the box we live in (30:00) Why women are exhausted — and why self-care isn't the answer (31:00) The "hallelujah holy hell" moment — waking up to what you're thinking (33:00) Your mind is a 2-year-old with a Sharpie (35:00) "I have everything I need right now" — and what that unlocks (43:00) What it means to manage your mind on purpose (53:00) How to stop outsourcing your worth to the outside world (58:00) Ancient wisdom meets modern tools About Kit Yoon Kit Yoon is an acupuncturist, certified life coach, clinical hypnotist, and intuitive eating counselor with over 20 years of experience helping people get out of their own way. Originally from Thailand, Kit was sent to boarding school in America at age 12 — and has spent her life learning what it means to feel at home in herself, no matter where she is. That journey is at the heart of everything she does. She holds a Master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University and is currently completing her Doctorate. Her practice weaves together ancient wisdom and modern evidence-based tools to help midlife women feel healthy, confident, and at ease in their own skin. She calls it your Second Spring. And she'll convince you it's possible.
