Bestselling and award-winning writer Matthew Pearl joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new novel The Award. Pearl explores the relationship between cultural prizes and ideas of nationhood, as well as imposter syndrome and external validation, like MFAs, literary awards, and being seen writing in coffeeshops by and with other writers. He reflects on developing the character of David Trent, an aspiring young writer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Pearl himself formerly lived and participated in cafe culture. He talks about the ethical lines David is willing to cross to achieve success and how he rationalizes these choices to himself. He also explains the larger-than-life character of Silas Hale, the famous and mercurial novelist who lives downstairs from David, controls their shared thermostat, and has no interest in mentoring his young neighbor. Pearl considers how David's life changes when he publishes a book and wins a prize. He reads from The Award. This podcast is produced by V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell.Matthew Pearl● The Award● Save Our Souls: The True Story of a Castaway Family, Treachery, and Murder● The Taking of Jemima Boone: Colonial Settlers, Tribal Nations, and the Kidnap That Shaped America● The Dante Chamber● The Last Bookaneer● The Technologists● The Last Dickens● The Poe Shadow● The Dante Club Others:● Fiction/Non/Fiction Season 7, Episode 19: Jacinda Townsend and James Bernard Short on American Fiction● Erasure by Percival Everett● Rabbit, Run by John Updike● The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz● The Wife by Meg Wolitzer● Yellowface by R.F.

In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Two-Brain founder Chris Cooper explains why gym owners need to stop consuming clickbait speculation about CrossFit's sale and start working on what actually matters: their businesses.Stop paying the “distraction tax”—hours spent watching videos, scrolling comments and worrying about things you can't control cost you opportunities to generate revenue, build client relationships and preserve decision-making capacity.To give you a concrete plan to improve your business in a time of uncertainty, Coop walks through a five-step process you can use to objectively measure the value of any gym affiliation using real numbers:✅ Check local search volume for the brand✅ Track where your leads come from✅ Calculate marketing ROI with a simple formula✅ Measure revenue from affiliation programs✅ Assess retention value among engaged membersIf you decide to rebrand, Chris also covers the true costs, from domain changes and social media updates to new signage and content, so you understand what's actually required.The key takeaway: CrossFit LLC (or any brand affiliation) has never had less impact on your success than right now. Your coaching, client relationships and business systems actually drive results.Watch this episode to get the decision-making framework that will help you make smart, data-driven choices about affiliation.

Sometimes the breakthrough you're looking for doesn't come from more discipline. It comes from who you're willing to run with. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor shares an unexpected lesson that came from an impromptu run with his dog, Bear. What started as a normal run quickly turned into the fastest mile he's run in years, beating his previous time by over a minute. The surprising part wasn't just the speed. It was how it happened. Running alongside someone who made it look effortless changed everything. While Baylor was pushing his limits, Bear was relaxed, enjoying himself, and barely working. Watching that ease rewired Baylor's mindset. Instead of straining and fighting the pace, he began to relax into it. This episode breaks down three powerful principles you can apply to any goal in 2026. First, growth accelerates when you stop doing things alone. When you only compare yourself to yourself, progress plateaus. But when you work alongside someone who is further ahead, faster, or more experienced, your brain recalibrates what is possible. Second, accountability becomes stronger when your goal isn't just about you. Baylor realized he didn't want to let Bear down. That simple emotional connection pushed him past the mental point where he would normally slow down. Tying your goals to someone or something outside yourself creates a deeper reason to keep going when motivation fades. Third, enjoyment matters more than we admit. The run was hard, but it was also fun. And that combination is the secret to consistency. Goals are supposed to challenge you, but they are also supposed to bring joy. When you find enjoyment inside difficulty, you stop resisting growth and start leaning into it. The takeaway is simple. If you want to grow faster, stop grinding alone. Find someone who makes it look easy. Tie your goals to something bigger than yourself. And learn how to enjoy the process, even when it hurts. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why doing things alone can slow your progress • How proximity to excellence rewires your limits • The power of tying goals to someone else • Why accountability works best when it's emotional • How enjoyment unlocks higher performance • Why hard things should still be fun Featured Quote "Find someone who makes it look easy, and you'll discover you're capable of more than you thought." Run with people who pull you forward. Don't let your pace be set by your comfort. Let's have a great day.

We took a few days off for the holidays, but we'll be back with a new edition of TV Confidential later this week.

In this clip, Lindsay tells us how she accepted the part of Jaime after some prodding from both her mother and her younger sister, and how the development of Jaime's character was a true collaboration between Lindsay and series producer Kenneth Johnson. Our complete conversation with Lindsay will air during the weekend of Jan. 16-19 on TV Confidential.  To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of The Bionic Woman, Lindsay Wagner is making available some special, limited-edition fiftieth anniversary Bionic Woman memorabilia, including newly released signed photos of Lindsay as Jaime; a limited number of autographed, printed copies of "On the Run," the script for the final episode of The Bionic Woman; and a chance to have a one-on-one video chat with Lindsay herself.

Start lines can carry more than nerves—they can carry whole lives. We kick off Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend with equal parts heart and how-to, celebrating Jack's wedding, sharing practical travel and cheering plans, and diving into two stories that remind us why miles matter.Wendy opens her journey with honesty about grief's physical weight after losing her husband; a man who once signed up for a 5K just to support her Dopey dream. She talks about the moment a Thursday Zoom call pulled her back to community, how coaching helped her rebuild a routine from dog walks to long runs, and why she'll run in hot pinks and hearts to keep love visible on the course. Her insight is clear and kind: grief doesn't follow rules, so neither should your healing.We then turn the volume up on community with our annual Rise and Run roll call—Dopey, Goofy, marathon, half, 10K, and 5K—giving first timers and veterans their well-earned spotlight. Jon's story brings purpose into sharp focus. A single dad chasing his first marathon to model dedication for his kids, he speaks candidly about battling old habits, choosing to prioritize time rather than “find” it, and refusing to let imperfect weeks derail the goal. His mantra is simple: hard work works. He's aiming to finish strong, not chase a hero split, and to show his kids that promises kept to yourself change who you become.Whether you run to heal, to grow, or to prove you can, there's room for your reason here. Tap play, feel seen, get the logistics you need, and take your next step toward the start line with us.

Send us a textStart with the truth: technology keeps changing the book world, but the love of reading isn't going anywhere. That's our springboard for a rich, candid conversation with publishing analyst and author Thad McIlroy about what AI can actually do for writers, publishers, translators, and readers—and where it crosses lines that matter. We trace his arc from bookstore floors to indie publishing, investigative journalism, and desktop publishing, then into the fast-moving landscape of modern AI.We get practical fast. Want a sharper pitch, a cleaner description, better metadata, and smarter keywords? Use AI as a drafting partner—then apply human voice and judgment. Thinking about acquisitions or submissions? Run a secure, opt-out upload and ask the model who the audience is, what comp titles make sense, and how to position the work. We talk tools—Claude for colloquial nuance, Gemini for reasoning, ChatGPT with training opt-outs—and how to protect manuscripts while you explore.We also tackle the hard edges. Headlines predicting the “death of authors” are noisy, but real concerns remain: training on copyrighted books without compensation, contracts that quietly assign AI rights, and the limits of AI detection tools. Thad breaks down recent rulings vs. piracy, separates legal allowances from ethical responsibilities, and shares what to renegotiate now so creators aren't boxed out later. On translation, we sketch a hybrid workflow—machine draft, human craft—that can open doors for books that would never otherwise travel, while preserving the nuance great translators bring.Through it all, we return to the point of the industry: a reader choosing a book, a poet on a shelf, an indie bookseller who knows your taste. AI can help us market smarter, iterate faster, and reach farther—but it shouldn't replace the human spark that makes literature worth saving. If that balance resonates with you, follow along, share this conversation with a friend, and leave a review to help more book lovers find the show.Support the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of California and the stakes of the 2026 governor’s race. Hilton shares his personal story, including his family’s escape from communism, and explains how those experiences shaped his belief in legal immigration, freedom, and core American values. He delivers a sharp critique of California’s one-party rule, pointing to government fraud, fiscal mismanagement, failed environmental policies, and a worsening housing crisis as evidence that the state’s leadership has lost touch with everyday Californians. As he campaigns for governor, Hilton outlines his commitment to exposing corruption, restoring accountability, and reviving California’s economic and cultural strength. This episode explores what’s gone wrong in the Golden State—and what it would take to make California work again.

Bill Bolthouse: More Than VegetablesBill Bolthouse's story began in the rich black soil of Grant, Michigan, where long rows of onions shaped both his childhood and his character. Working alongside his family on their muck farm, Bill learned early what honest labor demanded — often on his knees, pulling weeds under the summer sun. Each season, his dad entrusted him with three-quarters of an acre to manage himself. The deal was simple: He could keep whatever profit he earned.Bill tried to take shortcuts, tidying the edges while letting weeds take over the middle. His dad quickly saw through it, and the lesson stuck: Real work means doing the whole job and doing it well.That conviction carried Bill far beyond those onion rows. Though he once imagined a future in missions, he eventually realized God was leading him back to the family business — Bolthouse Farms. There, he helped transform a modest vegetable farm into the nation's top carrot producer. Under his leadership, Bolthouse Farms didn't just grow carrots; it reshaped how they were packaged, marketed, and delivered to families across America.But for Bill, farming was never just about crops. It was about people and purpose. He saw his work as a mission field — a way to live out his faith every day. Whether managing fields, leading sales, or guiding the business as president, Bill sought to honor Christ in every decision. “You treat people right,” he said. “Run your business like you answer to the Lord — because you do.”From 1996 to 2013, Bill served on Cedarville University's Board of Trustees, believing deeply in the school's mission to train young people for Kingdom impact. His name now graces the Bolthouse Center for Music and the upcoming Bolthouse Academic Center, though he's quick to shrug off the recognition. “I'm not interested in buildings,” he shared. “I want to see kids on fire for Jesus — going out into the world and making a difference.”Bill recently shared his story on the Cedarville Stories podcast, reflecting on a life on mission — not in a pulpit but in the dirt, at the sales desk, and in the boardroom. His passion is simple: “Before Jesus comes, I want to see as many people in heaven as possible.”And that's the legacy he's still cultivating.https://share.transistor.fm/s/c4baac23https://youtu.be/XLeSKDlGO04

Is it possible that we're carrying too much in our cup? Today we talk about approaching the year with a solid, focused, and consistent plan. It's so easy to want to add more, but there's real power in stripping things down, creating simplicity and getting rid of things that don't serve our purpose. We look at building routines and patterns that will help take care of our long term goals. We look at listening to and understanding our body by effort. We talk distractions, racing free, and carrying less mental baggage. The truth is, we're not usually tired because of workouts, but the extra weight we carry in our lives. Simplify and be consistent. Topics: New intro? Decompressed Dogs and slippers Create belief and trust in yourself Movement is momentum Jan 1st new habit fails Don't expect perfection What's your fallback? Mental energy distractions Can't swim without a watch Too much interference Disconnecting in workouts Understanding your body's effort Creating less noise Re-evaluating your "why" Not trying to impress or prove things to others Run heavy You're adding too much weight Race free, run free, be light You're not tired from training Getting sick?

Complete our 2025 survey: ⁠https://unpacked.bio/uihsurvey⁠ Book for the Jerusalem Marathon "Return, Reconnect, and Run for Resilience" tour: ⁠sababatravel.com⁠ In this Open Mic episode, Noam responds to a listener, Aviva's question: what does it even mean to say “Israel has a right to exist”—and who gets to decide that “right”? Noam argues that the debate is really about Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. He makes the case that the more urgent conversation is about how Israel exists, not whether it exists. The episode uses the 2025 NYC mayoral debate as a jumping-off point to explore Jewish peoplehood, modern self-determination, and double standards.

Robin Arzón's leap from lawyer to fitness powerhouse wasn't just a career shift; it was a radical reinvention. After surviving a traumatic hostage situation, she turned to running as a way to heal, reclaim control, and push past limits.

AI has mastered language, sort of. But the real world is way messier.In this episode of TechFirst, John Koetsier sits down with Kirin Sinha, founder and CEO of Illumix, to explore what comes after large language models: world models, spatial intelligence, and physical AI.They unpack why LLMs alone won't get us to human-level intelligence, what it actually takes for machines to understand physical space, and how technologies born in augmented reality are now powering robotics, wearables, and real-world AI systems.This conversation goes deep on: • What “world models” really are — and why everyone from Fei-Fei Li to Jeff Bezos is betting on them • Why continuous video and outward-facing cameras are so hard for AI • The perception stack behind robots and smart glasses • Edge vs cloud compute — and why latency and privacy matter more than ever • How AR laid the groundwork for the next generation of physical intelligenceIf you're building or betting on robotics, smart wearables, AR, or physical AI, this episode explains the infrastructure shift that's already underway.GuestKirin SinhaFounder & CEO, Illumixhttps://www.illumix.com

If you're a developer or founder, you already know how to build. The hard part is building the right thing, for the right people, at the right time. In Part 1 of our interview with Samir ElKamouny, we dig into a practical market validation strategy that helps you avoid the most expensive mistake in software: investing months of effort into something the market didn't ask for. Samir's message is refreshingly grounded: big ideas are great, but execution is everything. And execution doesn't start with code—it starts with clarity, research, and small tests that tell you whether you're on the right path. About Samir ElKamouny Samir ElKamouny is an entrepreneur and marketing expert who believes execution is everything—an early lesson inspired by his father's legacy of big ideas. He's helped scale businesses by pairing strategic action with a commitment to impact, guided by values like Freedom, Happiness, Health, Family, and Spirituality. In this episode, that philosophy shows up as practical market validation: test demand and messaging before you overbuild. Market Validation Strategy: Start With "Is This Real?" Before "Can I Build It?" One of the biggest mindset shifts Samir reinforces is that your first job isn't product development—it's discovery. Before you worry about features, tech stacks, or perfect UI, you need answers to questions like: What problem are we solving—and for whom? What alternatives do people already use? Why would someone switch (or pay)? What would make this stand out in the market? This is where market research becomes your leverage. It reduces risk, sharpens your messaging, and keeps your roadmap tied to real-world demand instead of assumptions. Ideas Don't Win—Execution Wins: You can have a great idea, but if you can't clearly explain why it matters and who it's for, you'll struggle to sell it—even if you build it perfectly. Market Validation Strategy: Use Market Research to Find Differentiation Samir talks about loving market research because it forces you to look for what actually matters: differentiation. A useful way to think about this (especially for builders) is to treat your market research like a product spec—but for the buyer's brain: What are the top 3 pains people complain about? What outcomes do they want most? What language do they use to describe the problem? What do they distrust about existing options? That last point is gold: distrust is often where your positioning lives. If buyers think "all solutions in this space are overpriced and confusing," your market edge might be "simple, transparent, and fast to implement." Market Validation Strategy: Run the $5/Day Test (Before You Write Code) Here's where Samir gets extremely actionable: you don't need a perfect product to validate interest. You need a simple way to test messaging and capture intent. Think lightweight experiments: a basic landing page with one clear promise a short form ("Interested? Tell me your biggest challenge.") a tiny ad budget to test demand and messaging (Samir mentions even $5/day) a few direct conversations with the people you're building for This isn't about "launching." It's about getting signals—fast. The Goal Isn't Perfection—It's Proof: If people won't click, reply, or sign up when the idea is explained clearly, a bigger build won't fix that. Validation comes before optimization. Market Validation Strategy: Build a Funnel That Matches the Buyer's Learning Curve Samir also breaks down why funnels aren't one-size-fits-all. The funnel you need depends on how much your buyer must be educated before they can decide. If you're in a well-known category—say "CRM"—buyers already understand the problem and the solution type. Your job becomes differentiation and trust. But if your product is new, complex, or requires behavior change, you may need a longer funnel: more education, more examples, more proof, and more clarity before a buyer is ready to act. Either way, the key is to define the conversion goal (lead, consultation, free trial, signup) and build only what supports that path. Market Validation Strategy: A 48-Hour Checklist for Builders Try this quick validation sprint before you commit to a full build: Write a one-sentence offer (who it's for + outcome). Build a simple landing page (problem, promise, proof, CTA). Run a tiny ad test or post where your audience hangs out. Track clicks + form submissions (signals > opinions). Talk to 3–5 responders and ask what they expected. If the message lands, you've earned the right to build the next layer. If it doesn't, you just saved yourself months of building the wrong thing. Closing Thoughts: Execute Small, Learn Fast, Build Smart A strong market validation strategy is less about "finding the perfect idea" and more about building the habit of learning quickly. Samir's approach helps you move from assumptions to evidence—without betting your time, energy, or budget on hope. So before you spin up a repo, define your offer, test your messaging, and look for real-world signals. Once you have proof, then you can build with confidence—because you're not just building software. You're building something people actually want. In Part 2, we'll take the next step: how to diagnose funnel bottlenecks, improve clarity, and use smarter testing to increase conversions once you've got traction.

They discuss the difference between body awareness and body trust and how historical and cultural medical narratives shape the way women interpret symptoms.The conversation also challenges the idea that health must always be pursued at the level of optimisation, introducing the concept of being “healthy enough”—not as a lowering of standards, but as a way of letting health support life rather than dominate it.This episode will resonate with anyone who has felt exhausted by the constant focus on hormones, symptoms, and self-improvement, and is looking for a more grounded, humane way to think about women's health.Lara Briden is a naturopathic doctor and bestselling author of the books Period Repair Manual and Hormone Repair Manual — practical guides to treating period problems with nutrition, supplements, and bioidentical hormones. With a strong science background, Lara sits on several advisory boards and is the lead author of a 2020 paper published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. She has more than 20 years' experience in women's health and currently has consulting rooms in Christchurch, New Zealand, where she treats women with PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and many other hormone- and period-related health problems.Reach Lara at www.larabriden.com, IG: https://www.instagram.com/larabriden/Lara's books  https://larabriden.com/lara-briden-books/Lara's previous appearance on Mikkipedia https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/33  and https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/248 and https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/264  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

Brian #1: ty: An extremely fast Python type checker and LSP Charlie Marsh announced the Beta release of ty on Dec 16 “designed as an alternative to tools like mypy, Pyright, and Pylance.” Extremely fast even from first run Successive runs are incremental, only rerunning necessary computations as a user edits a file or function. This allows live updates. Includes nice visual diagnostics much like color enhanced tracebacks Extensive configuration control Nice for if you want to gradually fix warnings from ty for a project Also released a nice VSCode (or Cursor) extension Check the docs. There are lots of features. Also a note about disabling the default language server (or disabling ty's language server) so you don't have 2 running Michael #2: Python Supply Chain Security Made Easy We know about supply chain security issues, but what can you do? Typosquatting (not great) Github/PyPI account take-overs (very bad) Enter pip-audit. Run it in two ways: Against your installed dependencies in current venv As a proper unit test (so when running pytest or CI/CD). Let others find out first, wait a week on all dependency updates: uv pip compile requirements.piptools --upgrade --output-file requirements.txt --exclude-newer "1 week" Follow up article: DevOps Python Supply Chain Security Create a dedicated Docker image for testing dependencies with pip-audit in isolation before installing them into your venv. Run pip-compile / uv lock --upgrade to generate the new lock file Test in a ephemeral pip-audit optimized Docker container Only then if things pass, uv pip install / uv sync Add a dedicated Docker image build step that fails the docker build step if a vulnerable package is found. Brian #3: typing_extensions Kind of a followup on the deprecation warning topic we were talking about in December. prioinv on Mastodon notified us that the project typing-extensions includes it as part of the backport set. The warnings.deprecated decorator is new to Python 3.13, but with typing-extensions, you can use it in previous versions. But typing_extesions is way cooler than just that. The module serves 2 purposes: Enable use of new type system features on older Python versions. Enable experimentation with type system features proposed in new PEPs before they are accepted and added to the typing module. So cool. There's a lot of features here. I'm hoping it allows someone to use the latest typing syntax across multiple Python versions. I'm “tentatively” excited. But I'm bracing for someone to tell me why it's not a silver bullet. Michael #4: MI6 chief: We'll be as fluent in Python as we are in Russian "Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum computing are not only revolutionizing economies but rewriting the reality of conflict, as they 'converge' to create science fiction-like tools,” said new MI6 chief Blaise Metreweli. She focused mainly on threats from Russia, the country is "testing us in the grey zone with tactics that are just below the threshold of war.” This demands what she called "mastery of technology" across the service, with officers required to become "as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages." Recruitment will target linguists, data scientists, engineers, and technologists alike. Extras Brian: Next chapter of Lean TDD being released today, Finding Waste in TDD Still going to attempt a Jan 31 deadline for first draft of book. That really doesn't seem like enough time, but I'm optimistic. SteamDeck is not helping me find time to write But I very much appreciate the gift from my fam Send me game suggestions on Mastodon or Bluesky. I'd love to hear what you all are playing.

https://bbvproductions.co.uk/products/Faction-Paradox-The-Confession-of-Brother-Signet-AUDIO-DOWNLOAD-p389922366 The first season of the American science fiction horror drama television series Stranger Things premiered worldwide on the streaming service Netflix on July 15, 2016. The series was created by the Duffer Brothers, who also serve as executive producers along with Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. This season stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Cara Buono, and Matthew Modine, with Noah Schnapp, Joe Keery, and Shannon Purser in recurring roles. The first season of Stranger Things received critical acclaim, in particular for its originality, homages to the 1980s, characterization, tone, visuals, and performances (particularly those of Ryder, Harbour, Wolfhard, Brown, Heaton and Modine). Premise The first season begins on November 6, 1983, in a small town called Hawkins. Researchers at Hawkins National Laboratory open a rift to the "Upside Down," an alternate dimension that reflects the real world. A monstrous humanoid creature escapes and abducts a boy named Will Byers and a teenage girl. Will's mother, Joyce, and the town's police chief, Jim Hopper, search for Will. At the same time, a young psychokinetic girl who goes by the name "Eleven" escapes from the laboratory and assists Will's friends, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, and Lucas Sinclair, in their efforts to find Will.[1] Cast and characters See also: List of Stranger Things characters Main cast Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers[2] David Harbour as Jim Hopper[2] Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler[3] Millie Bobby Brown[3] as Eleven ("El") Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson[3] Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair[3] Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler[3] Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers[3][4][5] Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler[6] Matthew Modine as Martin Brenner[7] Recurring Noah Schnapp as Will Byers Joe Keery as Steve Harrington Shannon Purser as Barbara "Barb" Holland[8] Joe Chrest as Ted Wheeler Ross Partridge as Lonnie Byers[9] Rob Morgan as Officer Powell John Paul Reynolds as Officer Callahan Randy Havens as Scott Clarke Catherine Dyer as Connie Frazier Aimee Mullins as Terry Ives[10] Amy Seimetz as Becky Ives Peyton Wich as Troy[11] Tony Vaughn as Principal Coleman Charles Lawlor as Mr. Melvald Tinsley and Anniston Price as Holly Wheeler Cade Jones as James Chester Rushing as Tommy H.

The following day, Will's single mother Joyce Byers reports his disappearance to the police chief Jim Hopper, who starts a search but assures Joyce that almost all missing children are quickly found. The lab's director, Dr. Martin Brenner, investigates an organic substance oozing from the lab's basement, claiming that "the girl" cannot have gone far. A nervous young girl wearing a hospital gown wanders into a local diner. The owner, Benny, finds a tattoo of "011" on her arm and learns that her name is Eleven. Brenner, monitoring the phone lines, sends agents to the diner after Benny calls social services. The agents kill Benny, but Eleven manages to escape using telekinetic abilities. Joyce's phone short circuits after receiving a mysterious phone call that she believes is from Will. While searching for Will in the woods, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas come across Eleven. 2 2 "Chapter Two: The Weirdo on Maple Street" The Duffer Brothers The Duffer Brothers July 15, 2016 The boys bring Eleven to Mike's house, where they disagree on what to do. Mike formulates a plan for Eleven to pretend to be a runaway and seek help from his mother, Karen. Eleven refuses, however, revealing that "bad men" are after her. Will's brother Jonathan visits his estranged father Lonnie in Indianapolis to search for Will, but Lonnie rebuffs him. Hopper's search party discovers a scrap of hospital gown near the lab. After recognizing Will in a photograph and demonstrating her telekinesis, Eleven convinces the boys to trust her, as they believe she can find Will. Using the Dungeons & Dragons board, Eleven indicates that Will is on the "Upside Down" side of the board and is being hunted by the "Demogorgon" (the creature). Mike's sister Nancy and her friend Barbara 'Barb' Holland go to a party with Nancy's boyfriend Steve Harrington. Searching for Will near Steve's house, Jonathan secretly photographs the party. Joyce receives another call from Will, hears music playing from his stereo, and sees a creature coming through the wall. Left alone by the swimming pool, Barb is attacked by the Demogorgon and vanishes. 3 3 "Chapter Three: Holly, Jolly" Shawn Levy Jessica Mecklenburg July 15, 2016 Barb awakens in the Upside Down: a decaying, overgrown alternate dimension. She attempts to escape but is attacked by the Demogorgon. Joyce believes Will is communicating through pulses in light bulbs. Hopper visits Hawkins Lab, and the staff permits him to view doctored security footage from the night Will vanished, leading Hopper to investigate Brenner and discover his involvement with Project MKUltra and that a woman named Terry Ives alleged years earlier that Brenner took her daughter. Eleven recalls Brenner, whom she calls "Papa," punishing her for refusing to hurt a cat telekinetically. Steve destroys Jonathan's camera after discovering the photos from the party. Nancy later recovers a photo of Barb, simultaneously realizing that Barb is missing. Returning to Steve's house to investigate, Nancy finds Barb's untouched Volkswagen and encounters the Demogorgon but manages to escape. Joyce paints an alphabetic board on her wall with Christmas lights, allowing Will to sign to her that he is "RIGHT HERE" and that she needs to "RUN" as the Demogorgon comes through the wall. Believing Eleven knows where Will is, the boys ask her to lead them to him. Eleven leads them, to their frustration, to Will's house. From there they follow emergency vehicles to a nearby quarry just as Will's body is recovered from the water. 4 4 "Chapter Four: The Body" Shawn Levy Justin Doble July 15, 2016 Joyce refuses to believe that the body found at the quarry is Will's. Mike feels betrayed by Eleven until she proves that Will is still alive, channeling his voice through Mike's walkie-talkie. The boys theorize that Eleven could use a ham radio at their school to communicate with Will. Nancy notices a figure behind Barb in Jonathan's photo, which Jonathan realizes matches his mother's description of the Demogorgon. Nancy tells the police about Barb's disappearance. She later fights with Steve, who only cares about not getting in trouble with his father. Hopper has suspicions regarding the authenticity of the body found in the quarry when he learns that the usual coroner was sent home. Hopper confronts the state trooper who found it and beats him until he admits he was ordered to lie. The boys sneak Eleven into their school to use the radio, while Joyce hears Will's voice through her living room wall. Tearing away the wallpaper, she sees him. Eleven uses the radio to channel Will talking to his mother. Hopper goes to the morgue and finds that the body is a fake, and, suspecting that Brenner is responsible, breaks into the lab. 5 5 "Chapter Five: The Flea and the Acrobat" The Duffer Brothers Alison Tatlock July 15, 2016 Hopper searches the lab before being knocked out by the lab's guards. The boys ask their science teacher, Mr. Clarke, if it would be possible to travel between alternate dimensions, to which he answers that there could be a theoretical "gate" between dimensions. Hopper awakens at his house and finds a hidden microphone, realizing that Joyce was right the whole time. The boys follow their compasses, searching for a gate that could disrupt the Earth's electromagnetic field. Eleven recalls memories of being placed in a sensory-deprivation tank to telepathically eavesdrop on a man speaking Russian; while listening, she came across the Demogorgon. Fearing another encounter with the Demogorgon, Eleven redirects the compasses. Lucas misinterprets this as an act of betrayal, leading Mike and Lucas to fight and Eleven to telekinetically fling Lucas away from Mike. While Dustin and Mike tend to the unconscious Lucas, Eleven runs off. Nancy and Jonathan formulate a plan to kill the Demogorgon. While searching in the woods, they come across a small gate to the Upside Down. Nancy crawls through it but inadvertently draws the Demogorgon's attention. Jonathan unsuccessfully tries to look for Nancy, as the gate to the Upside Down begins to close. 6 6 "Chapter Six: The Monster" The Duffer Brothers Jessie Nickson-Lopez July 15, 2016 Jonathan pulls Nancy back through the gate. That night, Nancy is afraid to be alone and asks Jonathan to stay in her bedroom. Steve, attempting to reconcile with Nancy, sees them together through her bedroom window and assumes they are dating. Joyce and Hopper track down Terry Ives, who is catatonic and tended by her sister Becky.

Nancy and Jonathan cut their hands to attract the Demogorgon at the Byers' house. Steve, intending to apologize to Jonathan about their fight, arrives just as the Demogorgon appears. Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan fight the Demogorgon and light it on fire, forcing it to retreat to the Upside Down. Meanwhile, Eleven and the boys hide in the middle school when Brenner and his agents arrive to kidnap Eleven; she kills most of them before collapsing from exhaustion. As Brenner and his remaining agents pin Eleven and the boys down, the Demogorgon appears, attracted by the dead agents' blood, and attacks Brenner and the remaining agents as the boys escape with Eleven. Hopper and Joyce enter the Upside Down's version of the Hawkins library, where they encounter several corpses of the Demogorgon's victims, including Barb, and find Will unconscious with a tendril down his throat.

Will coughs up a slug-like creature and has a vision of the Upside Down, but hides this from his family. Production Development Ross (left) and Matt Duffer, the creators of the series Stranger Things was created by Matt and Ross Duffer, known professionally as the Duffer Brothers.[12] The two had completed writing and producing their 2015 film Hidden, which they had tried to emulate the style of M. Night Shyamalan, however, due to changes at Warner Bros., its distributor, the film did not see a wide release and the Duffers were unsure of their future.[13] To their surprise, television producer Donald De Line approached them, impressed with Hidden's script, and offered them the opportunity to work on episodes of Wayward Pines alongside Shyamalan. The brothers were mentored by Shyamalan during the episode's production so that when they finished, they felt they were ready to produce their own television series.[14] The Duffer Brothers prepared a script that would essentially be similar to the series' actual pilot episode, along with a 20-page pitch book to help shop the series around for a network.[15] They pitched the story to a number of cable networks, all of which rejected the script on the basis that they felt a plot centered around children as leading characters would not work, asking them to make it a children's show or to drop the children and focus on Hopper's investigation in the paranormal.[14] In early 2015, Dan Cohen, the VP of 21 Laps Entertainment, brought the script to his colleague Shawn Levy. They subsequently invited The Duffer Brothers to their office and purchased the rights for the series, giving full authorship of it to the brothers. After reading the pilot, the streaming service Netflix purchased the whole season for an undisclosed amount;[16] the show was subsequently announced for a planned 2016 release by Netflix in early April 2015.[17] The Duffer Brothers stated that at the time they had pitched to Netflix, the service had already been recognized for its original programming, such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, with well-recognized producers behind them, and were ready to start giving upcoming producers like them a chance.[15] The brothers started to write out the series and brought Levy and Cohen in as executive producers to start casting and filming.[18] The series was originally known as Montauk, as the setting of the script was in Montauk, New York and nearby Long Beach locations.[17][19] The brothers had chosen Montauk as it had further Spielberg ties with the film Jaws, where Montauk was used for the fictional setting of Amity Island.[20] After deciding to change the narrative of the series to take place in the fictional town of Hawkins instead, the brothers felt they could now do things to the town, such as placing it under quarantine, that they really could not envision with a real location.[20] With the change in location, they had to come up with a new title for the series under the direction from Netflix's Ted Sarandos so that they could start marketing it to the public. The brothers started by using a copy of Stephen King's Firestarter novel to consider the title's font and appearance and came up with a long list of potential alternatives. Stranger Things came about as it sounded similar to another King novel, Needful Things, though Matt noted they still had a "lot of heated arguments" over this final title.[21] Writing The idea of Stranger Things started with how the brothers felt they could take the concept of the 2013 film Prisoners, detailing the moral struggles a father goes through when his daughter is kidnapped, and expand it out over eight or so hours in a serialized television approach. As they focused on the missing child aspect of the story, they wanted to introduce the idea of "childlike sensibilities" they could offer and toyed around with the idea of a monster that could consume humans. The brothers thought the combination of these things "was the best thing ever". To introduce this monster into the narrative, they considered "bizarre experiments we had read about taking place in the Cold War" such as Project MKUltra, which gave a way to ground the monster's existence in science rather than something spiritual. This also helped them to decide on using 1983 as the time period, as it was a year before the film Red Dawn came out, which focused on Cold War paranoia.[14] Subsequently, they were able to use all their own personal inspirations from the 1980s, the decade they were born, as elements of the series,[14][22] crafting it in the realm of science fiction and horror.[23] The Duffer Brothers have cited as influence for the show (among others): Stephen King novels; films produced by Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Robert Zemeckis, George Lucas and Guillermo del Toro; films such as Alien and Stand by Me; Japanese anime such as Akira and Elfen Lied; and video games such as Silent Hill and The Last of Us.[21][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] With Netflix as the platform, The Duffer Brothers were not limited to a typical 22-episode format, opting for the eight-episode approach. They had been concerned that a 22-episode season on broadcast television would be difficult to "tell a cinematic story" with that many episodes. Eight episodes allowed them to give time to characterization in addition to narrative development; if they had less time available, they would have had to remain committed to telling a horror film as soon as the monster was introduced and abandon the characterization.[15] Within the eight episodes, the brothers aimed to make the first season "feel like a big movie" with all the major plot lines completed so that "the audience feels satisfied", but left enough unresolved to indicate "there's a bigger mythology, and there's a lot of dangling threads at the end", something that could be explored in further seasons if Netflix opted to create more.[32] While explaining their intentions for the show, the Duffers adamantly stated their intentions to not explain the mythology in the show so they could leave a mystery and lot for the audience to speculate over their lack of understanding by the season finale, which they accepted but asked to be explained about at the very least, which they found like a really good exercise as they spent quite a bit of time with their writers' room figuring out exactly what the Upside Down would actually consist for, writing a 20-page mythology document whose details wouldn't be clarified for the audience until the show's fifth and final season.[33] Regarding writing for the children characters of the series, The Duffer Brothers considered themselves as outcasts from other students while in high school and thus found it easy to write for Mike Wheeler and his friends, and particularly for Barbara "Barb" Holland.[21] Joyce Byers was fashioned after Richard Dreyfuss's character Roy Neary in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, as she appears "absolutely bonkers" to everyone else as she tries to find her son Will Byers.[34] Other characters, such as Billy in the second season, have more villainous attributes that are not necessarily obvious from the onset; Matt explained that they took further inspiration from Stephen King for these characters, as King "always has really great human villains" that may be more malicious than the supernatural evil.[35] Casting The Duffers cast David Harbour as Sheriff Hopper believing this was his opportunity to play a lead character in a work. In June 2015, it was announced that Winona Ryder and David Harbour had joined the series as Joyce and as the unnamed chief of police, respectively.[2] The brothers' casting director Carmen Cuba had suggested Ryder for the role of Joyce, which the two were immediately drawn to because of her prominence in 1980s films.[14] Levy believed Ryder could "wretch up the emotional urgency and yet find layers and nuance and different sides of [Joyce]". Ryder praised that the show's multiple storylines required her to act for Joyce as "she's out of her mind, but she's actually kind of onto something", and that the producers had faith she could pull off the difficult role.[36] Upon being offered the role, Ryder felt intrigued at being given the pilot's script due to know knowing what streaming was and finding it "terrifying", with her sole condition to the Duffers for accepting the role being that, if a Beetlejuice sequel ever materialized as she and Tim Burton had been discussing since 2000, they had to let her take a break to shoot it, a condition the Duffers agreed and ultimately proved to work out when Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was greenlighted years later.[37] The Duffer Brothers had been interested in Harbour before, who until Stranger Things primarily had smaller roles as villainous characters, and they felt that he had been "waiting too long for this opportunity" to play a lead, while Harbour himself was thrilled by the script and the chance to play "a broken, flawed, anti-hero character".[21][38] Additional casting followed two months later with Finn Wolfhard as Mike, Millie Bobby Brown in an undisclosed role, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, and Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers]].[3] In September 2015, Cara Buono joined the cast as Karen Wheeler,[6] followed by Matthew Modine as Martin Brenner a month later.[7] Additional cast who recur for the first season include Noah Schnapp as Will,[3][5] Shannon Purser as Barbara "Barb" Holland,[8] Joe Keery as Steve Harrington,[39][5] and Ross Partridge as Lonnie Byers,[9] among others. Actors auditioning for the children's roles read lines from Stand By Me.[14] The Duffer Brothers estimated they went through about a thousand different child actors for the roles. They noted that Wolfhard was already "a movie buff" of the films from the 1980s period and easily filled the role, while they found Matarazzo's audition to be much more authentic than most of the other audition tapes, and selected him after a single viewing of his audition tape.[15] As casting was started immediately after Netflix greenlit the show, and prior to the scripts being fully completed, this allowed some of the actors' takes on the roles to reflect into the script. The casting of the young actors for Will and his friends had been done just after the first script was completed, and subsequent scripts incorporated aspects from these actors.[32] The brothers said Modine provided significant input on the character of Dr. Brenner, whom they had not really fleshed out before as they considered him the hardest character to write for given his limited appearances within the narrative.[34] Filming The brothers had desired to film the series around the Long Island area to match the initial Montauk concept. However, with filming scheduled to take place in November 2015, it was difficult to shoot in Long Island in the cold weather, and the production started scouting locations in and around the Atlanta, Georgia area. The brothers, who grew up in North Carolina, found many places that reminded them of their own childhoods in that area, and felt the area would work well with the narrative shift to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.[20] The filming of the first season began on September 25, 2015, and was extensively done in Atlanta, Georgia, with The Duffer Brothers and Levy handling the direction of individual episodes.[40] Jackson served as the basis of the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.[41][42] Other shooting locations included the Georgia Mental Health Institute as the Hawkins National Laboratory site, Bellwood Quarry, Patrick Henry High School in Stockbridge, Georgia, for the middle and high school scenes,[43] Emory University's Continuing Education Department, the former city hall in Douglasville, Georgia, Georgia International Horse Park, the probate court in Butts County, Georgia, Old East Point Library and East Point First Baptist Church in East Point, Georgia, Fayetteville, Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, Palmetto, Georgia, and Winston, Georgia.[44] Set work was done at Screen Gem Studios in Atlanta.[44] The series was filmed with a Red Dragon digital camera.[34] Filming for the first season concluded in early 2016.[41] While filming, the brothers tried to capture shots that could be seen as homages to many of the 1980s references they recalled. Their goal was not necessarily to fill the work with these references, but instead to make the series seem to the viewer like a 1980s film.[21] They spent little time reviewing those works and instead went by memory. Matt further recognized that some of their filming homages were not purposely done but were found to be very comparable, as highlighted by a fan-made video comparing the show to several 1980s works side by side.[14][45] Matt commented on the video that "Some were deliberate and some were subconscious."[14] The brothers recognized that many of the iconic scenes from these 1980s films, such as with Poltergeist, was about "taking a very ordinary object that people deal with every day, their television set, and imbuing it with something otherworldly", leading to the idea of using the Christmas light strings for Will to communicate with Joyce.[21] The brothers attributed much of the 1980s feel to set and costume designers and the soundtrack composers that helped to recreate the era for them.[14] Lynda Reiss, the head of props, had about a $220,000 budget, similar to most films, to acquire artifacts of the 1980s, using eBay and searching through flea markets and estate sales around the Atlanta area. The bulk of the props were original items from the 1980s with only a few pieces, such as the Dungeons & Dragons books made as replicas.[46] Visual effects To create the aged effect for the series, a film grain was added over the footage, which was captured by scanning in film stock from the 1980s.[34] The Duffers wanted to scare the audience, but not to necessarily make the show violent or gory, following in line with how the 1980s Amblin Entertainment films drove the creation of the PG-13 movie rating. It was "much more about mood and atmosphere and suspense and dread than they are about gore", though they were not afraid to push into more scary elements, particularly towards the end of the first season.[34] The brothers had wanted to avoid any computer-generated effects for the monster and other parts of the series and stay with practical effects. However, the six-month filming time left them little time to plan out and test practical effects rigs for some of the shots. They went with a middle ground of using constructed props including one for the monster whenever they could, but for other shots, such as when the monster bursts through a wall, they opted to use digital effects. Post-production on the first season was completed the week before it was released on Netflix.[14] The title sequence uses closeups of the letters in the Stranger Things title with a red tint against a black background as they slide into place within the title. The sequence was created by the studio Imaginary Forces, formerly part of R/GA, led by creative director Michelle Doughtey.[47] Levy introduced the studio to The Duffer Brothers, who explained their vision of the 1980s-inspired show, which helped the studio to fix the concept the producers wanted. Later, but prior to filming, the producers sent Imaginary Forces the pilot script, the synth-heavy background music for the titles, as well as the various book covers from King and other authors that they had used to establish the title and imagery, and were looking for a similar approach for the show's titles, primarily using a typographical sequence. They took inspiration from several title sequences of works from the 1980s that were previously designed by Richard Greenberg under R/GA, such as Altered States and The Dead Zone. They also got input from Dan Perri, who worked on the title credits of several 1980s films. Various iterations included having letters vanish, to reflect the "missing" theme of the show, and having letters cast shadows on others, alluding to the mysteries, before settling into the sliding letters. The studio began working on the title sequence before filming and took about a month off during the filming process to let the producers get immersed in the show and come back with more input. Initially, they had been working with various fonts for the title and used close-ups of the best features of these fonts, but near the end the producers wanted to work with ITC Benguiat, requiring them to rework those shots. The final sequence is fully computer-generated, but they took inspiration from testing some practical effects, such as using Kodalith masks as would have been done in the 1980s, to develop the appropriate filters for the rendering software. The individual episode title cards used a "fly-through" approach, similar to the film Bullitt, which the producers had suggested to the studio.[48] Music Main articles: Music of Stranger Things and Stranger Things (soundtrack) The Stranger Things original soundtrack was composed by Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon of the electronic band Survive.[49] It makes extensive use of synthesizers in homage to 1980s artists and film composers including Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Goblin, John Carpenter, Giorgio Moroder, and Fabio Frizzi.[50] According to Stein and Dixon, The Duffer Brothers had been fans of Survive's music, and used their song "Dirge" for the mock trailer that was used to sell the show to Netflix.[49][51] Once the show was green-lit, the Duffers contacted Survive around July 2015 to ask if they were still doing music; the two provided the production team with dozens of songs from their band's past to gain their interest, helping to land them the role.[49] Once aboard, the two worked with producers to select some of their older music to rework for the show, while developing new music, principally with character motifs.[51] The two had been hired before the casting process, so their motif demos were used and played over the actors' audition tapes, aiding in the casting selection.[51][52] The show's theme is based on an unused work Stein composed much earlier that ended up in the library of work they shared with the production staff, who thought that with some reworking would be good for the opening credits.[49] The first season's original soundtrack, consisting of 75 songs from Dixon and Stein split across two volumes, was released by Lakeshore Records. Digital release and streaming options were released on August 10 and 19, 2016 for the two volumes, respectively, while retail versions were available on September 16 and 23, 2016.[53][54] In addition to original music, Stranger Things features period music from artists including The Clash, Toto, New Order, The Bangles, Foreigner, Echo and the Bunnymen, Peter Gabriel and Corey Hart, as well as excerpts from Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter and Vangelis.[54][55] In particular, The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" was specifically picked to play at pivotal moments of the story, such as when Will is trying to communicate with Joyce from the Upside Down.[54] Music supervisor Nora Felder felt the song "furthered the story" and called it an additional, unseen, main character of the season.[56]

A Hospital Room Reminder About What Really Matters When Bruce recorded this episode, I was in the hospital. He carried the podcast solo while I was headed into yet another surgery connected to pregnancy complications—a storyline some of you know has been part of our family's journey for years. https://www.youtube.com/live/Fbq412_k_mU That day was a harsh reminder: life is fragile, the future is never guaranteed, and your family's financial stability cannot depend on “hoping it all works out.” It has to be built on purpose. And that's exactly what cash flow vs accumulation is really about: not numbers on a statement, but whether the people you love will be equipped, protected, and provided for—no matter what happens to you.

Why Cash Flow vs Accumulation Matters More Than a Number Most financial conversations revolve around a number. “How much do I need to retire?”“What should my net worth be at this age?”“What's my freedom number?” Those questions all assume one thing: that a bigger pile of assets automatically equals security. But it doesn't. A big balance that doesn't produce reliable cash flow can disappear quickly. You start selling assets, paying taxes, and hoping the market cooperates. That's not peace of mind. That's pressure. In this article, I want to walk you through a different way of thinking: cash flow vs accumulation and how to build multigenerational wealth with a system instead of a guess. You'll see: What is the difference between cash flow and accumulation investing in real life How to shift from accumulation to cash flow in your personal finances How to manage cash flow like a business in your personal economy The role of cash flowing assets, Infinite Banking, and trusts in building multigenerational wealth How Secure Act 2.0 and current tax rules affect inherited accounts and cash flow My goal is not to make you feel behind, but to help you feel equipped. You can design a personal cash flow strategy that supports your lifestyle now and continues to bless your family long after you're gone. Why Cash Flow vs Accumulation: How to Build Multigenerational Wealth Matters Now At the simplest level, accumulation is about growing a balance; cash flow is about growing an income stream. Most people are taught the accumulation mindset from day one. Work hard, spend less than you make, and stash the difference in a 401(k), IRA, or brokerage account. You watch the balance grow over time and hope it's enough. Cash flow asks a different set of questions. Instead of “How much do I have?” it asks, “What is this money doing? How much sustainable income does it produce? How easily can my family access it? And how long will it last?” Accumulation is about mass; cash flow is about motion. Mass can look impressive on paper. Motion is what pays the bills, funds opportunities, and supports your heirs without forcing them to sell assets at the worst possible time. When you start thinking this way, your focus shifts from chasing the biggest number to designing the strongest system. What Is the Difference Between Cash Flow and Accumulation Investing? Let's make this practical. Accumulation investing looks like this: your paycheck comes in, your bills go out, and whatever is left—if anything—gets swept into a savings account, retirement plan, or investment account. You might reinvest dividends automatically, but you're mostly watching the line go up and down on a graph and hoping the long-term trend is favorable. Cash flow investing is more intentional. You still earn income, still pay expenses, but you do one crucial thing differently: you give that surplus a job. Instead of leaving it to drift, you send it into assets that are designed to pay you on a regular basis. That might be a rental property, a share in a business, a private lending fund, a dividend-paying stock portfolio, or a policy loan strategy built on whole life insurance. The key is that these assets put money back into your personal economy as a dependable stream, not just a fluctuating account value. Accumulation is “I hope this is enough someday.”Cash flow is “I know what this produces every month, and I can plan around it.” How to Shift from Accumulation to Cash Flow in Personal Finance The shift doesn't happen with one dramatic move; it happens through a series of decisions. The first step is awareness. You need to see your personal economy the way a CFO sees a business. That means tracking not just your balance, but your flow. How much truly comes in? Where exactly does it go? What is the consistent surplus? Once you know the surplus, you can stop letting it evaporate. This is where Bruce's idea of a Wealth Coordination Account becomes powerful. Instead of leaving extra money in the same checking account that pays your groceries and subscriptions, you move it to a separate, dedicated account. That account becomes the home base for your cash flow strategy. It's where you hold cash temporarily while you decide: do we pay down a debt that's draining us? Do we fund a life insurance premium that will expand our long-term options? Do we step into a strategic rental, a business partnership, or a dividend-focused portfolio? Shifting from accumulation to cash flow is less about wild new investments and more about refusing to let surplus be accidental. You become intentional about directing it toward assets that feed you back. How to Manage Cash Flow Like a Business in Your Personal Finances Bruce shared a simple but powerful idea: Run your personal economy the way a healthy business runs its economy. A good business watches: Revenue in Expenses out Profit (cash flow) How quickly profit is redeployed to either increase revenue or decrease expenses You can do the same at home. Track your cash flow clearlyDon't just “check your balance.” Know exactly what's coming in, what's going out, and what's left. Increase income where you canSide business, consulting, a raise, better pricing in your current business—anything that adds more revenue to your personal economy. Decrease unnecessary expensesLook at both:Discretionary spending (the “nice to haves”) Non-discretionary spending (insurance, utilities, groceries) where you can shop, renegotiate, or restructure. Capture the surplus in a separate “Wealth Coordination Account”This is something Bruce and I teach often:Create a separate account for excess cash flowDon't let it disappear into your normal spending Use this account to fund your cash flow strategy, pay premiums, and invest in new opportunities This is the heart of cash flow planning—directing every dollar on purpose. How to Create a Personal Cash Flow Strategy That Supports Your Life A personal cash flow strategy isn't just a budget. It's a design for how money moves through your life: Income sources W-2 income Business income Rental income Dividends and distributions Core expenses Lifestyle (home, food, transportation, education) Taxes Debt payments Surplus (profit) This is what flows into your Wealth Coordination Account Redeployment planYou decide in advance: What percentage goes to debt reduction What percentage goes to cash flowing assets What percentage goes to premiums on your whole life policies What percentage stays liquid for opportunities This is how you manage your cash flow instead of reacting to it. Over time, this system builds stability for you and creates a foundation for multigenerational wealth planning. Cash Flow vs Accumulation: How to Build Multigenerational Wealth in Practice So how do we make cash flow vs accumulation truly multigenerational? Bruce and his wife use a simple repeatable framework: Cash flowing assets (businesses, rentals, funds) send income into a Wealth Coordination Account. That account pays premiums for permanent life insurance policies. As cash value grows, they borrow against policies to purchase more cash flowing investments. The new cash flow goes back to: Repay policy loans Rebuild the Wealth Coordination Account Fund additional opportunities Rinse and repeat. On the legacy side: Trusts are structured so that death benefits and cash flowing assets pass in an organized, tax-aware way to nieces, nephews, and charities. The trust language gives guidance and guardrails for how the next generation should use policy loans, pay them back, and take out new policies on their own lives and their children's lives. This is how building generational wealth with cash flow becomes a repeatable family system, not just a one-time event.

In this episode of Run the Numbers, CJ Gustafson sits down with Gordon Coyle, a 40-year commercial insurance veteran, to demystify one of the most anxiety-inducing topics for founders and CFOs: business insurance. Drawing on decades of experience with startups, scaleups, and regulated industries, Gordon breaks down what leaders need to know about D&O, E&O, cyber, and general liability, why investor pressure is rising, and where “cheap and easy” online policies fail when real risk hits. Through real-world examples, they explore how claims arise, how defense costs erode limits, why cyber insurance is as much about response as reimbursement, and how to balance budget, risk tolerance, and peer benchmarks—treating insurance as a critical layer of protection, not a box-checking exercise.—SPONSORS:Abacum is a modern FP&A platform built by former CFOs to replace slow, consultant-heavy planning tools.

We kick off 2026 with double race vibes and fresh resolve. We headed to Overland Park for the Hangover Half Marathon, then jumped the timeline to Parkville for the Time Travel 10K, trading late-night confetti for early-morning miles. We talk course feel, start-line energy, and why these New Year races are sneaky-good fitness barometers. There's honest chatter about rebuilding after a rough 2025, the small wins that signal a comeback, and what “encouraged” actually feels like when you're clawing back consistency. Then we set our 2026 running goals on air, invite you to do the same, and explain how our goal-card idea will circle back in December. Tokyo prep is officially real, flights booked, fire lit. Hit play for race-day stories, practical momentum, and a community check-in to start the year right.

We're kicking off 2026 with a message that will stay with us for the next 365 days!

In this first Mini-Mikkipedia of 2026, Mikki breaks down why fat gain—especially around the midsection—can occur even when you're “doing everything right” on paper. Tracking calories, training consistently, and eating well may still fall short if chronic stress is driving the hormonal environment. This episode unpacks the physiology behind stress-induced fat storage, with a particular focus on cortisol, visceral adiposity, and disrupted fuel partitioning. Mikki explains why stressed bodies are more likely to lose muscle, store abdominal fat, and struggle with fat oxidation—despite being in a calorie deficit. She also explores how under-eating, poor sleep, and excessive training compound the problem, creating a metabolic perfect storm. The key takeaway: stress management isn't optional. It's a foundational pillar of metabolic health, fat loss, and long-term body composition success.Key Topics CoveredHow chronic cortisol drives visceral fat storageFuel partitioning: why stressed bodies burn muscle, not fatWhy eating less and training more can backfire under stressThe role of sleep, recovery, and energy availability in fat lossPractical stress-management strategies that actually move the needle Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

From Apple News In Conversation: This is an episode from our archives. Martinus Evans did not have an easy start to running. Weighing over 300 pounds, he set out to finish a marathon after a doctor told him to “lose weight or die.” He writes about his running journey in his book, Slow AF Run Club: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run. In this week’s episode of Apple News In Conversation, Evans talks with host Shumita Basu about the lessons he’s learned from being a “back-of-the-packer.”

Base building is not very exciting – but it is highly effective, whether your goal is to run a faster marathon or 5K. While often conflated with an off-season, a base building phase is a distinct and crucial training phase. This phase of lots of easy miles develops both aerobic fitness and tissue tolerance, so that you can later build race-specific fitness with lower risk of injury and greater adaptations overall. In this episode, we discuss the adaptations of base building, how to structure a base building phase, and more!✨Join us on Patreon.com/treadlightlyrunning or subscribe on Apple Podcasts starting in December, when we'll be releasing special subscriber-only content!In this episode, you'll learn:✅ What is base building and why is it beneficial?✅ Is base building solely easy running?✅ How long should a base building last?✅ Sample workouts for a base building phase✅ The role of long runs during a base build✅ How often should you run during a base building phase?References:
