Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Bold and the Beautiful spoilers suggest Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) is reveling in her recent launch at Logan, but she may soon face legal issues thanks to Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). Such a legal battle could halt Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont)'s progress and potentially end Hope's collection for good.  Spoilers for Bold and Beautiful indicate that the tension arose when Forrester Creations decided to prioritize Eric Forrester (John McCook)'s new couture collection over Hope's line, causing a rift between Hope and Steffy. Despite having a contract with Forrester Creations, Hope is now secretly working on her collection with Deke Sharpe, raising the suspicion of Steffy and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).  B&B creators have subtly indicated that Hope's 'leave of absence' from Forrester Creations could lead to significant legal implications. It's suggested that the company could possibly sue for damages and ownership of Hope's designs, putting a damper on Katie and Bill's plans.  Spoilers for B&B suggest that the secretive collaboration between Hope and Deke might breach Hope's contract with Forrester Creations, potentially leading to an injunction against Logan's collection. If this happens, it could dramatically affect the launch and sales of Hope's line.  More Bold and Beautiful spoilers reveal Steffy begins demanding answers from Katie, but the future of Logan's fashion house remains uncertain. Despite the potential success of Hope's collection, legal challenges may still loom over their heads, threatening to bring everything crashing down.

In this episode of CRO Spotlight, Warren Zenna sits down with MK Marsden, CEO of Sales-Sleuth, to diagnose the root causes of the modern B2B sales crisis. They explore how the shift toward cheap, automated mass communication has eroded buyer trust and forced buyers to rely on independent research. As buyers become increasingly overwhelmed by digital noise, revenue leaders must fundamentally rethink their outbound approaches.The conversation tackles the systemic issues created by misaligned software solutions and arbitrary key performance indicators. MK argues that treating complex sales relationships as a series of isolated events—measured by clicks, opens, and call volumes—has detached sellers from true relationship building. When finance teams and software engineers dictate sales metrics, organizations lose sight of genuine buyer satisfaction.To counteract this dysfunction, leaders need to empower their teams with deep insights before a conversation ever occurs. The discussion shifts toward leveraging advanced sales intelligence platforms that analyze public buyer signals, eliminating the need for cold discovery calls. By equipping sellers with accurate data regarding a prospect's technical environment and immediate needs, companies can level the playing field.Ultimately, restoring effectiveness in sales requires a commitment to long-term value over instant gratification. Warren and MK highlight the challenges newly appointed revenue leaders face when balancing immediate expectations against the time required to genuinely turn a strategy around. They conclude by discussing how measuring long-term impact and sustained trust is the only sustainable path forward for modern businesses.

Sometimes life doesn't gently whisper…sometimes it grabs you by the shoulders and smacks you with a full-on reality stick. After some classic Laura and Erik banter, Laura shares the horrifying moment that made her suddenly realize she has entered an entirely new chapter of life…and let's just say, she was NOT emotionally prepared. What starts as shock quickly spirals into a hilarious deep dive into all the other random discounts and perks people “of a certain age” can score. Some are exciting. Some are humbling. All are slightly terrifying. Then, after the emotional damage settles in, Erik fires up everyone's favorite entertainment report, The Double D, packed with celebrity chaos, pop culture nonsense, and the showbiz stories you didn't know you needed. And don't forget — tell The Old Globe Box Office that Laura Cain After Dark sent you when you call or go online for tickets to one of their stellar shows!

Bridgerton is the gift that keeps on giving. With each new season of the show, we're introduced to more wildly talented rising stars, many of whom have now used their Bridgerton fame as a launchpad for building extensive filmographies, and one of the first to do it was Phoebe Dynevor. The moment Bridgerton kicked off its run on Netflix in December 2020, Dynevor became a household name. When her time on the show came to a close in 2022, she pivoted to feature filmmaking and since, has dished out quite a few winners across a variety of genres.In 2023, Fair Play debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and ultimately helped Dynevor secure a BAFTA Rising Star Award nomination. Soon after that came Anniversary, which features Dynevor in the midst of a stellar ensemble that includes Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Zoey Deutch, Dylan O'Brien and more. Now, not only does she have a shark movie, Thrash, hitting Netflix, but she's also got a number of highly anticipated projects on the horizon, including the Beach Read film adaption and the M. Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks collaboration, Remain.ith Thrash now available to stream on Netflix and hype building for Dynevor's upcoming films and shows, she took the time to visit the Collider Ladies Night studio to discuss how she's whipped up such a diverse resume, and how she hopes to expand it even further in the future.

Scott Fullerton and David Reddish celebrate Pride Month, break down Hollywood's billion-dollar May box office, and deliver a sharp review of Masters of the Universe. They also discuss why smaller, smarter films are winning, Jared Leto's surprising Skeletor performance, streaming vs. theatrical releases, CBS 60 Minutes controversy, AI in filmmaking, theater awards, and LGBTQ+ culture in entertainment.David says, "as a massive "he man" fan, I've always dreamed of a big-budget "masters of the universe trailer" that truly captures the spirit of the "80s". This "new movie" sadly misses the mark, receiving a candid "film" review from me. It's not the "heman" experience I hoped for.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we discuss a controversial new interview in which members of The Jesus and Mary Chain claim that shoegaze doesn't actually exist and go even further by saying that Eddie Van Halen "ruined rock guitar." The Scottish alternative rock legends shared their thoughts ahead of the Total Bummer festival in New York, where Jim and William Reid discussed the origins of the shoegaze label, guitar playing, musical influences, and why they never connected with Eddie Van Halen's groundbreaking style. William Reid didn't hold back, criticizing the flood of guitarists who copied Van Halen's technique throughout the 1980s and 1990s. His comments have sparked debate among rock fans and guitar players worldwide. Were the Reid brothers right, or does Eddie Van Halen remain the most influential rock guitarist of all time? Join the conversation as we break down the interview, the reaction from fans, and the lasting impact of Eddie Van Halen on rock guitar history. #EddieVanHalen #VanHalen #RockGuitar #JohnnyBeaneTV

Are you upset about that morning matcha ritual getting A LOT more expensive? Maybe blame all those performative males who are seemingly adopting emotionally sensitive progressive personas (such as drinking matcha and carrying tote bags) to attract women. Regardless, whether it's the matcha latte craze or the proliferation of packaged matcha products, supply can't keep up with the unprecedented demand…as record heat and severe droughts in Japan throttled yields, while labor shortages further strain production. With no end in sight regarding these higher prices, maybe it's time every “green goddess” denounces this current performativity example…so even the most dedicated "matcha men" switch back to chugging Monster Energy.

“To explain the lives of people living in this moment, to look at the historical forces that are shaping all of us, you have to look at business and technology. In our period, what is it that's shaping us? I would suggest it's the long fallout from the 2008 financial crisis and the technology revolution that's been happening in California.” — Alexander Starritt How to write a novel about our times? For Alexander Starritt, it means juxtaposing friendship and ambition alongside the grand historical forces of the age. Just as George Eliot did in Middlemarch. Whereas for Eliot, those forces were the 1832 Reform Acts and the industrial revolution, Starritt's forces are the 2008 financial crisis and the digital revolution. His novel, Drayton and Mackenzie, longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year, follows two ambitious Gen X'ers through the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The 2008 crash, Starritt says, ruined the lives of many of his generation. Rather than being in a Gramscian interregnum, our brave new 21st century world is already visible. But in contrast with many progressive critics of our neo-liberalism age, Starritt isn't apocalyptic about the future. Think of Drayton and Mackenzie as Middlemarch and McKinsey. Revolutions will come and go, but, for Alexander Starritt, friendship and ambition are unchanging. Five Takeaways •       The First Novel on the FT Business Book List in 15 Years: The Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year longlist typically features books on China, AI, and tech giants. In 2025, for the first time in fifteen years, it included a novel. Starritt's reading of why: there's a gap. The literary and cultural worlds have become so estranged from the business world that very few writers are even attempting to write seriously about the forces that actually shape people's lives. That gap, he says, says as much about the cultural moment as any quality the book itself might have. •       George Eliot's Method: Historical Forces as the Engine of Fiction: When George Eliot wrote Middlemarch, the historical forces she was dramatising were the Reform Acts and the industrial revolution. Starritt's equivalent: the 2008 financial crisis and the California tech revolution. His method is Eliot's — use a closely observed relationship (in his case, a male friendship rather than a marriage) as the engine through which the reader experiences history. The friendship gives the historical canvas an emotional charge. The historical canvas gives the friendship its full weight. Neither works without the other. •       Male Friendship: The Most Important Relationship Nobody Writes About: We've all read too many books and seen too many films about romantic and sexual relationships. Starritt's observation: there is another type of relationship — friendship — that is incredibly important to almost all of us, and that gets almost no literary attention. Drayton and Mackenzie is his attempt to take it seriously. The friendship between James (straight-lined, disciplined, brilliant) and Roland (impulsive, self-sabotaging, charming) evolves from incomprehension to something described by the Financial Times as “unbreakable” — and the reviewer admitted that by the end, their vision wasn't the clearest. •       The Post-Liberal World Is Already Here: Everyone quotes Gramsci's interregnum — the old world is dying, the new one hasn't been born yet. Starritt's counter: the new world has already been born. You can see it everywhere across the Western world. British jobs for British workers. Reshoring manufacturing. Keeping out undesirable foreigners. There is, he notes, quite a lot of consensus about these things, even if the discourse around them is contested. The post-liberal world is already here. The question is not whether it will arrive but what we do with it. •       European Optimism: The Separation From America May Be for Europe's Own Good: Starritt's closing optimism, which he acknowledges may not be welcome news for American listeners: the painful separation from America that America is forcing upon Europe is probably, in the long run, for Europe's own good. Rather than relying on the White House, Europeans can take responsibility for themselves. David Runciman's idea: democracy needs to be renewed every generation. The external pressure of China, Russia, and an America that no longer wants to help may be the forcing function that produces that renewal. Maybe we can get some agency back. About the Guest Alexander Starritt is a Scottish novelist and entrepreneur. He was born in 1985 and is the author of Drayton and Mackenzie (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026), We Germans (winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize), and The Beast (a 2017 Spectator book of the year). He was a founding team member of the policy platform Apolitical. He lives in London. References: •       Drayton and Mackenzie by Alexander Starritt (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026). •       George Eliot, Middlemarch — Starritt's primary literary model, referenced explicitly. •       Adrian Wooldridge, “Bring Back the Big Business Novel,” Bloomberg — the piece referenced at the opening. •       David Runciman — referenced for his argument about democratic renewal. •       Michael Chabon, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay — the Financial Times comparison. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. This week, we are adjusting our usual format for a specific reason. Co-host Al Elliott recently celebrated his birthday, so Leanne is taking over the reins to give him a brief respite from the standard news cycle. Instead, we are answering our most requested listener query: an analytical retrospective into the operational history, the high-stakes decisions, the failures, and the legal battles of Al's career as a serial entrepreneur. In this special episode, we dissect a highly unconventional career path. From being recognised as a "42 under 42" breakout entrepreneur to navigating a complex £103,000 personal bankruptcy, Al shares the raw realities of scaling businesses from the ground up—and how hitting rock bottom ultimately informed his blueprint for ethical, sustainable growth.

Somewhere along the way, hobbies stopped being hobbies. The internet made it easier than ever to learn new things, which is genuinely amazing.You can learn photography, gardening, painting, cooking, music, knitting, pottery, literally anything from your phone.But it also completely changed the energy around hobbies. Now, the second people get interested in something, they're immediately hit with how to make money from it, how to become an expert... there is barely any room to be a beginner anymore. Today, we are diving into that.

On today's Views podcast David, Jason, Natalie and Nivine record from David's hotel room from Croatia to talk about their wild last night on a yacht, how the girls took over and we're having a blast until eventually the guys ruined it. Also, Nivine meets with a plastic surgeon, David learns of his fate from a round of FMK, and we dive deeper in the lore of John.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
