Remarkable Retail Episode 311 welcomes guest co-host and longtime friend of the pod Anne Mezzenga, Founder & CEO of Retail Field Report, joining Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc on mic and on camera.Anne opens with her new venture, launched in March as an evolution of the work she built at Omni Talk Retail with co-founder Chris Walton. Retail Field Report takes a journalist's lens rather than an analyst's — working shifts in stores, interviewing executives and walking floors to learn what's actually happening inside retail organizations, not what the headlines claim.The news opens on a shaky macro backdrop: diesel at a four-year high, the priciest Labor Day gas in a year, worse still across Europe, and a Fed narrative that has flipped from cuts to a 62% market-implied probability of at least two hikes by year-end. Michael adds the Canadian view — reciprocal tariffs, shelved US liquor and a tourism reversal after June's 5% bump in cross-border travel. Anne reports from the field: once fuel, healthcare and food are covered, the discretionary spending big-box retailers count on is running dry.On earnings, Steve unpacks Five Below's five straight quarters of double-digit comps, 23% revenue growth, its move past 2,000 stores and a rare guidance raise. Victoria's Secret posts a 9% comp; Anne credits store consistency, omnichannel execution and strength in PINK and beauty, and the pair explore whether GLP-1s — increasingly prescribed alongside hormone replacement therapy — are quietly reshaping apparel and beauty demand. Lululemon disappoints, with comps down 9% and the Americas down 12% as Heidi O'Neill steps in as CEO; Anne argues the brand needs a sharper point of view and less rinse-and-repeat product. At Kohl's, Steve flags a second straight quarter of Sephora underperforming the rest of the store.The centerpiece is Anne's work as a flex retail associate, booking shifts through the Reflex app in cities across the US: point-of-sale systems so intuitive that training is nearly obsolete, twelve strangers running a warehouse sale that moved 3,000 customers in a single shift, and hospitality-only roles at Longchamp in Boston and Sézane in San Francisco, evidence that mid-tier retailers are putting real P&L dollars into the welcome.The trio then debates Anthropic's open-source Claude Commerce Agents — throttled assortments in agentic pilots, returns exposure, and grocery shoppers splitting weekly lists across banners by price. Anne walks Target stores with executives and lands bullish on the Bullseye, while Steve sizes up Shein's Hong Kong listing at roughly $27 billion against its one-time $100 billion valuation.On the radar screens: Quince's rumored raise and brick-and-mortar ambitions (Steve's skeptical the assortment translates), and Michael on JBS, the world's biggest meat processor, Brazilian beef imports, and whether beef can price itself out of the grocery basket for good. Registration is open for a special webinar featuring Steve in conversation with Placer AI's Head of Analytical Research RJ Hottovy.

Rent control does not automatically mean a real estate deal should be avoided. For Michelle Jeong, the bigger question is whether you understand the rules, have the right local team, and have underwritten the property conservatively. Michelle invests in value add multifamily properties and student housing across the United States. Based in San Francisco, she has firsthand experience operating in a heavily regulated market. She explains why investors need a seasoned local attorney and a property manager who understands the rules at the property level. Michelle also talks about using the local Rent Control Board as an educational resource. Another major part of her approach is due diligence. Michelle shares the story of discovering a nearby opportunity through a tweet, canceling her morning meetings, and going to see the property herself. For older properties in rent controlled markets, she says both financial and physical due diligence matter because additional CapEx may need to be built into the underwriting. Key topics and takeaways: Why rent control does not automatically make a deal unattractive The importance of a seasoned local real estate attorney Why hyper local property management matters How Rent Control Boards can help landlords understand procedures Why Michelle uses conservative underwriting in regulated markets The importance of physical due diligence on older properties Why Michelle sends detailed monthly investor newsletters How she matches investors with specific types of deals Guest information: Michelle Jeong is with Fire Capital and invests in value add multifamily properties and student housing. She said her portfolio includes roughly 1,100 to 1,200 doors and more than $100 million in assets under management. Connect with Michelle through Investing with Fire. Michelle also mentioned Fire Metrics, a free AI market metrics tool designed to let users enter a city or area and evaluate the market. She said the tool would be available through her website. Call to action: Visit Investing with Fire to connect with Michelle and look for Fire Metrics. Michelle is especially interested in connecting with people who may be interested in student housing opportunities.

What happens when a dating app match claims to be a professional NFL star? For at least 26 women across the West Coast, the answer turned into a devastating $1.3 million nightmare. Federal authorities made headlines with the FBI arrest of Daejon Love and accomplice Taylor Jamie Chan at an Idaho airport, uncovering a massive multi-year romance and investment fraud scheme. Love allegedly posed as a San Francisco 49ers wide receiver—and sometimes a wealthy Swiss heir—using fake banking apps, staged prop money, and repurposed NFL footage to trick victims on Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge into funding non-existent ventures. In this gripping episode, we dive deep into the investigative file behind the Daejon Love arrest. We break down the sophisticated mechanics of how Love and Chan pulled off the scam, using fake financial portfolios, Pocket Option demos, and custom social media presences to build trust before draining their victims' life savings. We examine how real NFL footage, custom football helmets, and fake payroll documents fooled not only romantic partners but briefly even online search algorithms. Whether you are a true crime junkie, a cybersecurity enthusiast interested in modern romance scams, or someone looking to protect yourself and your loved ones from sophisticated dating app fraud, this episode is essential listening.

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  1:50   Welcome to GRE from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to Jackson, Mississippi, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold. This is Get Rich Education, and Happy Labor Day. Let's talk about your investor psychology, because as you grow your wealth and your portfolio size, there is a trap that you will almost certainly fall into, and I'm not infallible. I've fallen into this trap to some extent too. That is the baseline trap. It's the tendency for every improvement in your income, your wealth, or your lifestyle to become your new normal. Once this happens, the improvement stops feeling like progress, and you need even more just to feel equally successful, if you get used to flying first class and then you have to drop back to coach again, it feels less like flying and more like being deported. Psychologically, we fall into the baseline trap because the human mind evaluates Life relatively, not absolutely. We don't simply ask ourselves how good is my life, how good is my situation. Instead, we ask how does this compare with what I've recently experienced, what I expected, and what others have, and there are a number of forces that drive the baseline trap. One is hedonic adaptation. Hedonic means pleasure seeking. People rapidly adjust to improvements. The first month of receiving a new $5,000 in passive income that feels transformative. After two years, it feels completely ordinary. The income didn't become less valuable. Your nervous system simply stopped registering it as new. Yesterday's luxury became today's wallpaper. A force driving the baseline trap is a shifting reference point. Gains and losses are measured against a mental baseline. Once your portfolio reaches, say, a $2 million net worth, well, your mind soon begins treating the $2 million as mine. You're like, hey, this is mine now, even if much of it came from recent appreciation. A decline to 1.8 million, therefore, feels like losing 200k rather than still having substantially more wealth than you did just a few years ago. Well, instead, you're only focused on the 200k paper loss. Then there's loss aversion psychologically. Losses generally hurt more than equivalent gains feel good. After a higher standard becomes normal, surrendering and. Any part of it feels like some blood-curdling loss. That's why reducing spending from 20k to 15k per month that can feel painful, even if 15k once felt luxurious to you.   Keith Weinhold  5:16   There's also the lifestyle creep component. People convert variable gains into fixed commitments. What do I mean? I mean like a strong income year. Oh, pretty soon that becomes a larger mortgage. Rental cash flow that becomes a vehicle payment. A bonus that becomes private school tuition, portfolio appreciation. Well, that supports new borrowing. See, pleasures that were once optional have now become obligations. And you got to ask, wait, how did that happen to you? You're supposed to have a life of options and not obligations. That's what financial freedom is supposed to be. The baseline then is no longer merely psychological; it becomes embedded in real monthly expenses. Then there's also the dangerous driver of the baseline trap that's called, oh no, social comparison. We commonly measure success against our peers, but instead, what you should do is measure it against your former self. Because as you become wealthier, see your comparison group changes too. If you've got five rentals, you soon stop comparing yourself with someone that owns none, you might even begin comparing yourself with people who own 50 of them, and why not? It's natural, after all. That is where you want to go, despite enormous progress. See, that's how you can feel left further behind. Then there's the recency bias. Your mind gives enormously disproportionate weight to recent experience. A few years of 15% returns, like what happened in 2021 and 2022 in real estate. Oh, you could begin expecting 15% after rapidly appreciating real estate, continued appreciation feels normal. A favorable cycle gets mistaken for the natural baseline, and then when conditions normalize, ordinary performance feels rather defective. Then there's identity inflation. That's a trap. This is when accomplishments become woven into your very identity, like I'm a multi-million-dollar entrepreneur, or I own 20 properties, or my income always grows. Okay, once success becomes identity, maintaining the baseline feels necessary just to preserve your self worth. Now, with this condition, see a temporary setback. It doesn't merely affect the numbers.   Keith Weinhold  8:08   It feels like evidence that you're becoming a lesser person, and the brain rewards progress more than possession. Humans are energized by movement toward a goal, reaching the goal often produces less lasting satisfaction than you expect. Buying the 10th rental creates a dopamine hit, and owning it three years later does not. The investor therefore creates another target, not always because another property is even needed, but because continued pursuit restores the feeling of progress, success erases the memory of constraint. As your wealth grows, it becomes difficult to remember emotionally what financial insecurity even felt like I mean you might intellectually remember earning 60k, but you no longer experience today's 300k income in comparison with it. Your comparison point quietly changes from your former life to your best recent year. The paradox is that your circumstances improve faster than your experience of them? The goal is not to stop growing; it is to prevent every improvement from becoming a new psychological necessity. Keep growing your means, but don't let success redefine enough every time you achieve it, don't let it redefine enough. Let's say you acquire rentals and you do generate another 5k per month. The trap is that your spending and expectations gradually rise by 5k. You're wealthier, but you don't. Don't feel freer. Instead of investments buying freedom, they merely finance a more expensive baseline, and it can distort how you view your portfolio. 10 properties once felt like an extraordinary accomplishment, and soon 10 feels ordinary, and 20 becomes necessary. You keep moving the finish line, and this is closely related to hedonic adaptation and lifestyle creep. But it extends beyond spending because your definition of enough keeps on rising. So the antidote certainly is not living small forever-it's deliberately separating the growth rates of your assets and your lifestyle. What you want to do is grow your means faster than you grow your baseline. Really, that's the key. You're gonna be more satisfied. Instead of simply living below your means, you sure do want to grow your means, but don't let every gain become a permanent new obligation. Let some additional cash flow purchase you things like time, resilience, and optionality-not merely nicer recurring expenses. If your lifestyle rises as fast as your passive income, you're wealthier, but no freer.   Keith Weinhold  11:28   So here's what you do: when your income rises, let your lifestyle rise about half that much. Otherwise, if you upgrade your lifestyle too much, say that you receive an extra $3,000 in monthly rental income, then you add in a luxury car payment, better vacations, and more expensive restaurants. Pretty soon, that extra 3k that feels necessary instead of liberating, and then there's also the record income comparison part of the trap. Say your business earns $1 million during an exceptional year. The next year, it earns a still impressive 850k, but you experience it as failure because the unusually strong year became your new baseline. Don't let that happen. You can compare yourself to others that can be motivating, but the more important comparison is to the former you. Now, another way that investors fall into the baseline trap in real estate is how an exceptional market becomes the standard. Say that you bought rental properties in 2012. Well, 2012 was perhaps the best time to buy real estate in generations. This was shortly after the global financial crisis, so there was this confluence of low prices, low interest rates, strong cash flow, and you had little competition as well. I mean, you had it all in 2012, and those deals performed spectacularly in today's market. Available properties produce lower initial cash flow, but they could still deliver respectable total returns through appreciation, rent income, principal paydown, tax benefits, and inflation profiting. But a losing investor rejects all of those things because they aren't as attractive as the once-in-a-generation deals of 2012, or even the rock-bottom low-rate days of 2020, they fell into the baseline trap. The trap here is that an unusually favorable period for real estate became the new benchmark. It's sort of like how last week I told you about how the deal structure always changes over time from the Reagan administration until today. Today the deal is with Burr properties, and it's also with buying new builds with rate buydowns. But see, in 2012 there were almost zero available new build properties that were created for investors to rent to others.   Keith Weinhold  14:25   Over time, with these new builds that you're adding now, you're going to have fewer maintenance and repair expenses. Tenants tend to stay in new builds longer, and new builds appreciate better over the long run. See, I wasn't getting any of those benefits in 2012, and I bought rental real estate in 2012, and I bought real estate recently as well. Not falling into the baseline trap, because today it's still difficult to find any investment bet. Than residential real estate with a loan, it is a scarce asset that people are going to continue to need. So here we are today, about 15 years on from 2012. Water market conditions like now. Let's talk about that and what can we expect for the next year? National home prices keep rising, but they're only about one half of 1% higher than they were a year ago. I mean, that's an appreciation level with the enthusiasm of someone attending a seven a.m. meeting. I do expect national home prices to keep rising modestly over the next year. Let me tell you about why, and then what the drivers are. And to be clear, we're talking about single-family homes up to fourplexes here. I'll discuss apartments later today. Well, the drivers for continued price growth are many of the same reasons that home prices are up just a little since last year. There are four of them. These four are inflation, the AI boom, short inventory, and a lack of distressed sellers. So let's unpack all of these four factors that I've identified for putting a floor underneath home prices, inflationary pressure is poised to raise replacement cost, energy, wages, and tariffs make those inputs more expensive, and the more war we have, the more inflation we have. A home is a bundle of land, labor, lumber, concrete, copper, and all sorts of energy inputs, plus 14 trips to Home Depot because someone forgot the correct nails and screws. That's what a home is. Recent home price growth it has lagged today's 3.4% CPI inflation rate. So again, we're not even talking about inflation-adjusted gains here. AI that creates local housing heat. It's not so much a nationwide driver of home prices. And in a moment, I'll tell you the top five housing markets for AI-led home price growth, but how does AI investment push up home prices anyway? How does that happen? People are getting high salaries, signing bonuses, and stock options that produces well-funded buyers. They make big down payments, or they even pay all cash for homes, and when a buyer pays all cash for a home, they can pay absolutely any price because they don't have to get an appraisal that comes along with a loan for a financed property.   Keith Weinhold  17:53   That's how all cash buyers can really push up prices. The growth in AI companies that has really helped push the S and P 500 higher that fuels a wealth effect nationwide that makes everybody feel wealthier regardless of where you live as long as you're invested in the stock market but the localized effects with those higher AI wages and signing bonuses in order they are most potent in San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, New York City, and Boston, and none of those are good cash flow investor markets. Still, short housing inventory is contributing to higher prices, and hey, it's time that we check on this again. Ever since the inventory crunch started to plummet in 2021 and reached its lowest point in 2022, I've been updating you on the housing supply, and I always keep it same same. I cite the same data source, the Federal Reserve Economic Data's active listing count, Fred's active listing count, which counts single-family and townhomes and condos, all wrapped up in this number. And the figure it still hasn't recovered at 1.1 million homes. Now it is 2% higher than last year, 2% more supply than last year, but overall housing supply is still 9% below pre-pandemic levels. And there's one important thing to keep in mind that most don't think about when you hear that figure that housing supply is 9% below pre-pandemic times in 2019, that does not mean we're 9% short. That is because even in 2019 there was a housing shortage, and we are 9% below that yet, keeping. Upward pressure on prices and the most supply-constrained markets today. It includes both good and poor cash-flowing investor markets.   Keith Weinhold  20:10   They are New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Hartford, Providence, Milwaukee, Boston, Cleveland, Virginia Beach, and Kansas City. All of those places remain especially tight with housing inventory, and then finally, this fourth of four reasons I've cited for continued upward pressure on home prices are the fact that distressed sellers-they are few and far between-and you need a lot of those in order to have a serious down cycle, after the 2008 housing crash, millions of owners were underwater. They owed more on their homes than they were worth. Lending standards were irresponsibly loose. Adjustable rate mortgages were resetting higher. I mean, a lot of people had little choice but to sell or to hand the keys back to the bank. Distress, distress, distress. Today is almost the mirror image. Here's what's really happening with homeowners having this record equity position today-an average of over $300,000. Many also locked in at fixed mortgage rates below 5% it means that they're enjoying perhaps the cheapest long-term debt that they are ever going to have. Lending standards have been strong, foreclosure rates remain low, and virtually nobody is being forced to sell. That matters more than most people think because housing crashes need a lot of forced sellers, owners who must accept almost any price in order to escape the property. But today, most homeowners they can simply either stay put, or if they're going to move out of the home, keep it and rent out the home, or they can wait for a better offer. No distress. In other words, buyers might be frustrated, but sellers-they're just not desperate. And without desperation, it is difficult for home prices to fall sharply. So the bottom line here with today's home prices and looking into next year, home price growth is apparent, but it's weak. The ingredients for a national price collapse are nowhere to be found, so this does not spell boom or crash. Home prices appear poised to keep slowly grinding higher, but with this low affordability, that keeps them from soaring, say 10 or 12% higher. I don't see that happening. And of course, each December, I make my home price forecast to the exact percentage point for the year ahead, so you can look forward to that soon. The Get Rich Education home price appreciation forecast that I made late last year for this year. It looks like it's going to be almost spot on. Of course, unlike a lot of analysts, transparently, I also give you the result of how closely the forecast hit the target every year, so you can look forward to that too.

Listen to Get Rich Education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold  26:15   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold. There will only ever be one episode 622, and you're listening to it. I hope you're enjoying the late summer. I'm wringing every bit of time and enjoyment out of it that I can. I don't know if this part was enjoyable, but I ran an all-out mile on a track. I wanted to see how fast I could run a mile. I had a friend pace me, and I got a 631. I was happy with that since I hadn't done any specific training. Yes, a mile is more than four laps on a track as well. Did you know that? Yes, this detail-oriented shaved mammal here diligently measured off that extra nine point something meters. Ah, I'll tell you that fourth lap hurt so badly that if my buddy weren't there, I might have just quit and not finished the mile. But summer's days are numbered, and that's too bad because it is my favorite season of the year. The NFL season kicks off in just two days on the ninth, with Seattle hosting the New England Patriots in a rematch of last year's Super Bowl. So then, I guess it looks like your productivity for the week will end with a respectable two-day run as you tune in to that game. Where is the future demand for real estate going to come from? It comes from a growing population. The U.S. is expected to add 21 and a half million people from 2025 to 2040. 21 and a half million more people. The overall population it's expected to grow from about 341 million up to 363 million. That is where we're going. That's per the Census Bureau and the University of Virginia, projecting 341 up to 363 by the year 2040, which is just a little over 13 years away. Okay, so that part is not so surprising, but here is what is absolutely staggering: more than half of this entire increase is projected to occur in just two states, just two of the 50 states, more than half of the increase. Do you know what they are? In fact, I showed you a map of this in a recent newsletter, but I can talk about it and expand on it more here.   Keith Weinhold  28:52   The two states that are expected to account for more than half of the nation's overall population growth through 2040 are Texas and Florida. They're already the second and third most populous states, respectively. It's kind of like America looked at the map, checked their weather app, and started packing sunscreen. Texas is expected to add 6.6 million residents. Florida welcoming another 4.6 million during this span. So that is over 11 million new people between them. This is like taking the entire population of Georgia and dropping it into those two already booming states, that much growth in this fairly short period of time, for real estate investors, more people that generally means more demand for our housing product, and I'll get back to the staggering Texas and Florida imbalance in just a moment. Because there are big gains in other investor-friendly southeastern states like Georgia and Tennessee, the Mountain West should swell alone. The South, okay, the region that the Census Bureau delineates as the South, which sort of runs from Maryland all the way down south and then west out toward Texas, the South just until 2040 is expected to account for 78 percent of the growth. That is just staggering. Cash flow hotbed Indiana that should grow by nearly a quarter million residents as well. The Carolinas are ballooning. Already the most densely populated state in the nation, New Jersey, that will get more dense with some pretty healthy population growth. Its residents have not discovered elbow room, but not every state is adding population. 14 states are expected to shrink, led by Illinois losing 650,000 people and New York down 457k. Again, this is all through 2040. In fact, a small loss cluster actually runs through the South, though West Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana-they're projected to lose 440,000 people combined. You know that whole theory that sometimes you hear people talk about, like with Earth warming and drying, you're going to have people stampeding toward the freshwater Great Lakes states. That is probably farcical. That just has not shown up in the data. That people are moving in droves to say cooler Michigan and Wisconsin for those reasons.   Keith Weinhold  31:46   It's just not happening now. Of course, population projections are not delivered from Mount Sinai on stone tablets. Besides births and deaths, the level of future immigration, of course, that's the real wild card here. After the Trump presidency ends by 2029, the next administration that could tighten or loosen the immigration spigot, that could materially reshape the map. But they're probably not going to tighten immigration. I mean, they couldn't because the flow really couldn't be crimped much more than it already is. People love to poke fun at California, but even in 2040, it is expected to barely retain its crown and edge out Texas to still be the most populous state: 39 million versus 38 million, respectively, for California and Texas by 2040. But yeah, Texas and Florida-they are the real stories here, and why droves of people are attracted there for cheaper housing, jobs, warm weather, a business-friendly environment, and Texas and Florida are also places where builders can still build without completing some side quest worthy of a video game with all their permits and regulations and roadblocks. You're largely free of those things in Texas and Florida. Now there are two more important factors to keep in mind here. Some bigger picture context. I've talked before about how the overall American mobility rate is down, and this is a long, long trend. Decade after decade, fewer people move and more people stay put, which is contrary to popular belief. This lower mobility rate, and another factor that gives you perspective is that as real estate investors, we know all this stuff I've been talking about here. These population changes-they only look at the demand side. The supply side matters just as much, despite their slower population growth. Northeast and Midwest states build less new inventory, and that is why Northeastern and Midwestern housing prices and rents are still growing faster today than they are in the Sun Belt, despite all of those Sun Belt construction cranes. You know, too many construction cranes. It looks bullish, and it actually is, but it spikes supply and it suppresses prices. And really, the bottom line here with American population growth from now until 2040 is follow the people, but count the rooftops. Population growth creates housing demand, while limited construction creates scarcity.   Keith Weinhold  34:46   The best opportunities often emerge where those two forces collide. That's what you really want to look for: demand and scarcity. Now, the apartment space. We all know that's been beleaguered for about three or four years, ever since higher mortgage rates set in and high construction levels conspired to keep apartment rents suppressed. In fact, multifamily construction had a peak in this cycle during 2024. That's when 600,000 units were built back in 2024. That was the most new apartment supply since 1986. That is when Cheers, MacGyver, and Miami Vice were on television. Run DMC was on urban radio. MTV was a dominant cultural force, the most new apartment supply since 1986. That's when kids were playing with GI Joe's, He-Man, and My Little Pony. For adults, fashion-wise, they were wearing enough shoulder padding to survive a minor collision. So, lots of new apartment supply to get absorbed. It is getting more and more absorbed. There are more signs there now because the national median apartment rent has now increased for seven months in a row. That's according to Apartment List. Also, the apartment vacancy rate has dropped for six straight months, and do you have any idea what the national apartment vacancy rate is? It has dropped down to now 7.1% Inevitably, overbuilt apartments will be absorbed with a growing population. Lots of great episodes coming up here on the show, where you might be in for a surprise next week. A renowned macro economist will be here on the show with us. I think we all know that in 1971, the U.S. had a lot of economic changes. That's when Nixon completely eliminated us from the gold standard, and the economic system shifted from capitalism to creditism back then. Well, now we appear to be leaving creditism and entering a new economic phase. This could be seismic. Next week here on the show, he'll reveal what the new era is called and how you need to prepare for it, that's next week here on episode 623.

MTS host Sophia Dew visits the Open Source AI Summit in San Francisco to ask researchers and founders across the AI stack a central question: can open source prevent AI power from concentrating in the hands of a few companies?Lukasz Kaiser, co-author of Attention Is All You Need, argues that today's concentration may be a feature of the current technological paradigm rather than a permanent feature of AI. Transformers reward enormous amounts of data and compute, but future breakthroughs could make smaller, more specialized models far more capable.Across conversations with researchers and builders working on open models, infrastructure, and applications, Sophia explores why China has taken the lead in open-weight models, whether the U.S. needs more open-model startups, what it means for companies to own their own intelligence, and where openness alone falls short, particularly when access to compute remains concentrated.

Researchers at USC and UCLA estimate nearly 6,000 unsheltered people live within one mile of LA's 2028 Olympic and Paralympic venues — more than three times the county's own official figure of 1,600. The gap between those numbers isn't a rounding error. It's a decade of institutional failure that Los Angeles can no longer hide behind a press release.Mayor Karen Bass is now being summoned before a House DOGE panel to explain how over a billion dollars in homelessness spending produced a worse count, not a better one. HUD has moved to cut fraud-riddled LA funding. Meanwhile the homeless industrial complex that absorbed all that money offers one answer for everything — more housing — while 49,000 people sleep on county streets and the 2028 clock runs down.San Francisco's Daniel Lurie is demonstrating what results-based accountability actually looks like. Los Angeles is demonstrating what happens when there are no consequences for failure. The Olympics will not let LA keep the cameras pointed away from the encampments.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories the mainstream buries.#NFRP #LosAngeles #LA2028GO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), pillar of India's ruling fascistic ideology of Hindutva, held a rally in New York City—which was happily met with a large protest outside Madison Square Garden. Some protesters drew a parallel between Kashmir and Palestine, an obvious connection given the Zionist-Hindutva anti-Muslim axis. However, progressive Congressional candidate Brad Lander—an opponent of military aid to Israel and a supporter of Israel's anti-war opposition—was accosted at the protest for being a "Zionist." This is mirrored in a similar incident in San Francisco, when another Jewish Democratic candidate, Scott Wiener, was driven from a Trans Pride event in Dolores Park.

Host Edith welcomes San Francisco author Rick London to Book Lover's Companion to discuss his December 2025 novel The Dancing Wolfe Man (Volume One). London explains his pen name and how a vivid nighttime drive after a 1998 Super Bowl gathering inspired a werewolf story he later developed in 2024. Wanting to avoid a typical savage-werewolf arc, he made music the central force that anchors protagonist Titus Wolfe—a high school music teacher and weekend DJ—so sound and rhythm help him control his primal instincts and become a protector rather than a killer. They discuss the werewolf as a metaphor for humanity's dark side, what defines a hero, London's choice not to write a female werewolf protagonist, and his plans for sequels, prequels, and an origins book exploring werewolf lore. London shares his writing process, marketing lessons, audiobook considerations, advice to aspiring writers, and where to buy the book.Find out more about Rick:https://dancingwolfeman.com⏰ Timestamp00:00 Podcast Welcome and Guest Intro00:34 Why the Name Rick London01:28 Dancing Wolfman Premise01:48 Super Bowl Night Inspiration05:28 Music Tames the Beast09:12 Wolf as Inner Darkness15:12 What Makes a Hero18:06 Why Not a She Wolf20:35 Series Plans and Staying Hidden23:26 Werewolf Lore and Myth Origins27:13 Standing Out and Marketing Reality30:21 Writing Process and Drafting Method34:16 Fixing Story Flow34:56 Why We Quit Books36:15 Dialogue Versus Description37:12 Writing Like A Movie40:57 Screenplay Adaptation Dreams41:53 Finding Writing Communities43:23 Going Cross Genre46:19 Audiobook Plans And Costs49:23 Bookstores Kindle And Habits55:07 Advice For Aspiring Authors58:40 Where To Buy The Book01:00:08 Closing Thanks And Sign Off☕️ Support us: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/booklovercom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/bookcompanion⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Nyack, New York-based artist Rob Strati talks about: Living in Nyack, as far as its local arts community and proximity to NYC; his early artist years in San Francisco, including driving a cab for several years, and eventually getting into tech (starting as a web designer at Yahoo) as a day job, always to support the art even though it became a big part of his then-identity; how his 25 years working in research, marketing and technology all started when he was exposed to web design while staying with friends in DUMBO, Brooklyn; how he shared his 2025 earnings in an end-of-year newsletter, why he did so, and what kinds of responses he received (without naming the number here, the earnings are in the top 1% of artists); how he's applied his research experience in tech to his sales approaches, including making different entry points available to collectors, and taking what he learns from selling direct to collectors on Instagram and applying to future sales; how he's been doing non-exclusive consignment agreements up until now, but is signing on with a London-based gallery for exclusive sales in the U.K. and Turkey, and why he's doing so; the fact that he's had such success selling on IG that it's allowed him to establish consignment-based agreements with galleries as opposed to contractual ones, which has given him more autonomy and leverage than most artists (who do traditional contractual agreements); how he took Dec. of '25 and the first two months of '26 "off," to recover from the grind of 2025, did a lot of skiing with his 13-year-old son, and generally recharged, while acknowledging the accomplishment of such a strong year; the nine different galleries he's currently working with (including Duane Read Gallery in St. Louis and Fremin Gallery in New York); the origin story of his signature art object(s), which has been the work that's transformed his career, all staring with his wife breaking a plate in the kitchen, and how he saw an expanded world in it; the conversation around his work as far as decorative art- how it fits into that lineage, and the emotional connection to that tradition, in contrast to the conceptual tendencies of contemporary art, but how he sees elements of both. In the 2nd half of our conversation, available to Patreon Supporters of the show, Rob talks about: How he first improvised the drawing that accompanied that first broken plate piece, and how subsequently he evolved his style in extending the plate patterns into extended landscapes and scenes; we geek out materials, including his determining that Signo pens are the best for the fine lines that he needs (and we geek out on pens for a moment); why being transparent about income (his income) is something he stands behind, including investing in the marketing of his work (boosting posts, advertising, and so on), and how last year, for example, he spent 50k on marketing his work; the "Decision I Did Not Take Lightly," which was his canceling his exhibition at the James Cancer Center Gallery at Ohio State University (his alma mater) because of it being under the umbrella of Leslie Wexner, the philanthropist who funded the Wexner Center for the Arts as well as many schools at OSU, and who has very much been part of the Jeffrey Epstein saga, how Rob was able to shift the show to the Columbus Museum by renting out a space there and continue the conversation about justice and making space for him to stand up for it, but also recognizing how difficult it is to stand up to a boss whom your livelihood depends on; and his job history – prior to striking out on his own making a living from his work alone – including being fired a lot, partly for standing up against abuse in the workplace.

This week, we remember the life of Gloria Steinem – legendary feminist, activist, and journalist, with a rebroadcast of a conversation recorded in San Francisco on November 9, 2015.For more than half a century, Gloria Steinem was one of the most influential voices for women's rights, equality, and social justice.Steinem began her journalism career in New York, gaining national attention with an undercover investigation of the working conditions at the Playboy Club. In 1971, she co-founded Ms. Magazine, a groundbreaking publication that centered women's lives in the larger political and cultural conversation. Steinem was a mentor to generations of women - whether through her writing, her activism, or simply her example, Steinem offered women an invitation to speak out, organize, and imagine a different future.  City Arts & Lectures' founder, Sydney Goldstein, was one of those women, and Gloria was a guest onstage many times - and lent her advice and support offstage.Gloria Steinem died on September 3, 2026, in New York. She was 92.In this 2015 appearance, Steinem talked with filmmaker, activist and artist Chinaka  Hodge, after the publication of her memoir, My Life On The Road.

Benvinguts al "Generaci

[previously in series: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] Paul Graham once said that every city sends a message. New York says you should make more money. Berkeley says you should live better. Boston says you should be smarter. People shouldn't decide on a permanent residence until they've lived in several cities and understand their differing psychological effects. San Francisco sends a message too. It speaks it in a cacophony of dissonant voices, some sounding like the hissing of snakes, others like the chittering of insects. "You should pierce the veil," it says, with a faint accent which you are not scholarly enough to recognize as ancient Sumerian. "You should rip through the flimsy screen that separates your world from the infinite, and witness what lies behind. Because you'd like what you saw there? Oh no, nothing like that. But aren't you curious? The thirst for knowledge that moved Eve, Faust, Pandora - don't you have it too?" There's also a second message from a second voice, one which sounds like a deranged carnival barker, constantly shouting "STONKS! STONKS! STONKS! STONKS!" Which of the two voices you hear depends on your personality, and maybe how many psychedelics you took in college. According to legend, Sam Altman hears both voices simultaneously all the time, like those Tibetan throat singers who can harmonize with themselves. But when the demonic babble becomes too much to tolerate, the San Franciscans drown it out with alcohol, loud music, and various forms of tedious socialization. Thus the famous Bay Area house parties, one of which you will be attending this very night. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-foothills-of-bay-area-house-party

San Francisco has always been a very special city to me. The people of the city value and reward genuine individuality. As an artist I've always had a deep appreciation for crowds who just wanted to hear what my heart had to say and weren't too concerned with trying to coerce me in to playing what they wanted to hear. It's nice to play for those who trust me and want to go on a good journey with me.I played my first FITP in October 2014. What a day that was. It's a day firmly implanted in my memory and heart. And here after all these years...it always feels good to go "home". In August I got to go "home" to play for the most beautiful people on earth. And I felt like it was a true collaboration with me and the crowd. Love and kindness was in full abundance and I hope you hear it when you listen to the set.The set contains some of my favorite songs of the year. It's been an amazing year for music and I am so happy to share some of that beauty with you here. I open the set with "You Belong" by Ciaran McCauley. I chose that song to open the "All Flag" set because of the powerful message it contains. There's nowhere on earth that I feel the message of "you belong" is sent more than AIDS Memorial Grove. So....I felt it fitting to open with it. From there I weave my way through a series of anthemic heart-tuggers before finally coming to a soft landing with "Back To Love" by Lincoln Jesser. The lyrics say:What if the end was the beginning?What if that light we see in the tunnel leads right back to love?What if we found it and it was in us?Oh, what if everything isn't only ever was?What if the paths we take all lead right back to love?I gotta open up my heart and let it inIt's never too late to begin againIt's not over just 'cause something's dyingI know I got more to giveWhat you put in's what you're gonna get out of itI made the decision that I'm all inBecause I've never been good at half-heartedOh, I wanna be happy, I wanna healAnd every shadow is so perfectly cast by the sun (By the sun)Can't have one without the other one (Other one)Oh, and every part of us so interwovenWhat if the paths we take all lead right back to love?"It was a spine-chilling way to end the day.

694. Shreveport in the 1980s and 1990s. In the heart of the Deep South, silence was deadly — until a small group of ordinary people decided to fight back. Join us for a conversation with David Hylan, the award-winning filmmaker and author who just released the book, Small Town Rage: Fighting Back in the Deep South. His 2016 documentary of the same name first brought national attention to ACT UP Shreveport, one of the smallest yet fiercest AIDS activist chapters in America. Now, with his powerful new book, Hylan expands that story, drawing on decades of interviews, archival research, and personal accounts to reveal the courage, grief, humor, and resilience of the activists who confronted hospitals that turned patients away, churches that preached judgment, and politicians who refused to listen. Far from the media spotlight of New York and San Francisco, these men and women forced northwest Louisiana to face the AIDS crisis head-on—and helped change the national conversation about compassion, healthcare, and equality in the process. This is the story of rage, resistance, and the power of ordinary people who refused to disappear. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

We have the 1910 edition on our website -- all 400 pages, 2006 recipes, 300,000 words, it's a monument to Creole cooking of 110 years ago. We'll start with a Good Cup of Creole Coffee. Is there anything in the whole range of food substances to be compared with it? And is there any city in the world where coffee is so delightfully concocted as in New Orleans? Travelers the world over unite in praise of Creole Coffee, or 'Caf' ' la Cr'ole,' as they are fond of putting it. The Creole cuisinieres succeeded far beyond even the famous chefs of France in discovering the secret of good coffee-making, and they have never yielded the palm of victory. There is no place in the world in which the use of coffee is more general than in the old Creole city of New Orleans, where, from the famous French Market, with its world-renowned coffee stands, to the olden homes on the Bayou St. John, from Lake Pontchartrain to the verge of Southport, the cup of 'Caf' Noir,' or 'Caf' au Lait,' at morning, at noon and at night, has become a necessary and delightful part of the life of the people, and the wonder and the joy of visitors.

Azeez Al-Shaair, Will Anderson Jr and Sheldon Rankins, fresh out of a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders, sit down with Chris and talk all things Houston Texans. Azeez details his journey from homelessness to NFL star. He went to the Super Bowl as a rookie with the San Francisco 49ers but was listed as inactive for the game. That decision shaped his mentality as an NFLer, promising to show coaches that they will never feel that they can take him off the field again. Will Anderson and Sheldon Rankins then join Chris to go in-depth on d-line talk. Chris gives Will his flowers as a pass rusher (and Sheldon his flowers for his help in Will's development), and they discuss the Texans' defensive line mindset and their 'show up and fight' mentality.

He had the conservatory training, the orchestral chops, and the “proper” classical path laid out ahead of him, but Sebastian Plano couldn't ignore the stronger call: make his own music. We sit down with the Grammy-nominated cellist and composer to trace the real turning points, from leaving Lisbon on a one-way ticket to Boston, to realizing that interpretation alone was not enough, to building a creative life where the cello becomes both voice and laboratory. We dig into the craft behind his signature approach: studying scores, sneaking into composition spaces, then recording his early work by layering parts until he could “make the orchestra” himself. Sebastian also tells the unvarnished post-school story, including what happens when you order 1,000 CDs and suddenly need an audience. His answer was simple and brave: play. He busks in the San Francisco subway, takes gigs anywhere, and learns how direct connection, repetition, and community can become both income and momentum for an independent artist. Then we shift to Solo, his newest solo cello album with no electronics, no multitracking, and nowhere to hide. He explains why stepping out of his safe zone felt necessary, how travel and transformation shaped the music, and why he wants other players to take these pieces and make them their own. If you care about contemporary cello, modern composition, independent music production, or choosing a nontraditional musician career, this conversation offers practical insight and a lot of honesty. Subscribe for more interviews like this, share the episode with a musician who needs a nudge, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.For more information on Sebastian: https://www.sebastianplano.com/You can also find Sebastian on Facebook and Instagram: @sebastianplanoYouTube: @sebastianplanoofficialIf you are looking for in person/virtual cello lessons, or orchestral repertoire audition coachings, check out www.theCelloSherpa.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads & YouTube: @theCelloSherpaFor more information on our sponsor: www.CLEAResources.com 

Lured Up Podcast 407 - You Can't Be Everywhere Live Streamed on - 9/2/2026 The Mega Ascension is here which means it's time for the Mega Finale! In typical Pokémon GO style, there is a massive lead in towards a big gameplay event. This means that you should have some awareness about the levels of your item inventory. Nothing will be worse than going into an event without the necessary supplies or bag space. Planning out and pacing your gameplay will be the way to go since we will have 16 hours of event gameplay this weekend! San Francisco was jumping this weekend with the PokémonXP event and the World Championships! We had tons of updates including new Mega Levels, third attacks for Megas, and details on Mewtwo's Adventure Effects. The announcement that really flipped the community on its head is the return of Armored Mewtwo, which will not be Shiny or Mega eligible! This obviously shocked the Community, and hilarity ensued online. We also have a ton of September event details including Gible Community Day Classic, Phantump Catch Mastery, Mega Squads, Staraptor Super Mega Raid Day and the Pokémon Horizon's Celebration! Re run through it all but make sure to keep the focus on the Ascension and Finale. Charge your devices! Our Professor's Principle this week covers how you can't be everywhere at once. It was easy to get bummed out if you couldn't make it to San Francisco. The flexibility of this game however, makes it possible to make the most of it wherever you are. Shifting mindsets from “What am I missing” to “What can I do” makes your action and motion part of the solution. The goal is to recognize the experiences that are available to you and be present enough to appreciate them. KEEP TRAINING, TRAINERS!

Parry Headrick, Founder of Crackle PR, is helping B2B technology companies offer LLM-digestible messages through earned media, human-centered writing, and strategic communication. Driven by the belief that where people start does not determine where they finish, Parry has built an empathetic, senior-led agency that works exclusively with good companies and empowers its people to share their expertise openly.  In this conversation, Parry introduces The LinkedIn Cheat-code Framework: Post every day, Tap into news stories, Weave in audience impact, and No-CTA. He explains how consistently sharing valuable ideas and expecting nothing in return helped him build an audience, generate most of his leads through LinkedIn, and shorten the sales cycle from three months to one week. Parry also discusses how LinkedIn thought leadership creates a virtuous cycle of earned media and LLM citations, why websites and PR content must be readable by both humans and machines, and how a senior-led agency can scale without sacrificing quality. He also shares why human writers will become more valuable as AI-generated content creates a growing sea of sameness. — Offer LLM-Digestible Messages with Parry Headrick  Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Parry Headrick, the Founder of Crackle PR, a B2B tech public relations agency that works with good companies only. Crackle PR is a senior-led B2B tech PR agency built for the LLM era, where earned media is no longer just a brand builder, it is the vital infrastructure that feeds foundation models. Parry, welcome to the show.  It’s a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me.  Well, it’s great to have you, and you are all about LLMs and how to get through the AI filters, which is relevant for all of us. But before we jump in, I’d like to ask you my $64,000 question. What is your personal Why, and how are you manifesting it in Crackle PR?  Yeah, that’s a good question. And I haven’t really been asked that question in that way before, but if I had to nail the answer, it would be this. So I started out with humble beginnings. My family didn’t have any money really to speak of. We wore secondhand clothes. It was the typical scratching and clawing our way up story. And I had a difficult childhood with divorces and everything, and I ended up getting kicked out of high school. Seventh grade was the last grade I actually completed. I was kicked out of two different schools three different times.  And the last time I was dismissed, I was told by the principal that I would have a long life working at McDonald’s. It was a real dagger that he put in my heart as he showed me the door. And I just thought at that point that didn’t seem like something that someone in power should say to someone who had none. And that kind of informed everything that I’ve done since, including being a reporter where I covered stories trying to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, all the way into how I’ve tried to create an agency that is predicated on doing it with empathy.  And we have an ironclad no-assh*les policy. I hope you don’t mind the swear there. That means internally and externally. We won’t work for jerks, and we won’t tolerate brilliant jerks that work with us because that tends to be very cancerous for an organization. So that’s the Why, is where you start doesn't really dictate where you finish, and I'm determined to prove that that's the case.Share on X  Yeah. I love it. And that’s one of the benefits of being in business for yourself. You can select your own clients. You don’t have to accept the ones that you don’t like. But few people actually put a stake in the ground and actually declare it, right? It’s harder to do it than to just make some compromises.  Yeah.  So tell me about Crackle PR. I really like the name of Crackle PR. I kind of sense what it might mean, but why don’t you explain how you came up with this?  Well, good question. I like these layups you’re giving me here. So I started Crackle during the pandemic, actually, when most of us were staring at the walls of our home thinking, “What the heck is going on?” There were riots in the streets. People couldn’t go anywhere, and it was really this sort of just dark malaise that covered the world. And it was that time that I thought, “What if I were to start a PR agency that is the antithesis of the large ones that I had built?”  So prior to Crackle, I had built a couple of the largest privately held tech PR agencies in North America. The models at these large agencies, as you probably know, are very hierarchical, where you trot out the Parrys of the world and the VPs, and then the model demands that you have most of the work done by juniors because that’s how you make the money. And I thought, what if we just, instead of trying to get big at all costs, what if we instead had a very prescriptive model where, instead of paying for offices in Manhattan and San Francisco, what if we just put that money into our talent and had a senior team that did the work, and we didn’t have a whole bunch of overhead? Wouldn’t that be cool?  And what if we also, as I just mentioned, don’t work with any jerks, and we work just with companies that are good people doing good stuff? And that was the true north for the company to start. And so we’ve been very fortunate in the intervening years. We now have 15 full-time employees, another five consultants. We’re hiring prescriptively and slowly. We don’t want to grow for the sake of growth. And we have clients all the way from seed rounds of funding to publicly traded companies. We really run the gamut. It's a B2B tech PR shop primarily.Share on X  But I always thought that the bad people need more PR than the good people.  Well, they may, but we’re not here to put lipstick on pigs. I had somebody that told me in my life one time that you don’t get into the mud with the pigs because the pig will love it, but you’ll both get dirty. And that’s not a game I’m looking to play. So I didn’t actually answer the question about Crackle itself. So the idea was that during that dark, dark time—COVID, riots, craziness everywhere. We wanted to represent a bit of goodness in the world. So I just pictured the world being this heap of ashesShare on X and under those ashes was a little spark, a little crackle of life, a little ember of goodness that was going to come out of all this. And that was really the impetus for the name, and it’s really guided the true north of the company.  Love it. That’s really fun. And your hat looks good, too.  You see the little spark, the little crackle right there?  I see it. Yeah. It’s like a Christmas cracker. So, okay, this podcast is called Management Blueprint because we are looking for, or I’m looking for, frameworks that people came up with, that they stumbled upon, which other listeners might apply to their business. So what’s a framework that you could share with us which can be explained in three to five steps that helps you get an insight or communicate better or organize better, something that helps you be more effective?  Yeah. So this may not be a big surprise. Some of your listeners may follow me on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is my cheat code. When I first started this business, I went to LinkedIn with my full self.Share on X Determined to tell everyone the good, the bad, the ugly about the industry that I’m in, which is public relations. And a surprising thing happened. At the time, there weren’t a lot of people kind of being truth tellers in their respective industries. But I stuck to that same framework, speaking truth to power, which goes back to my Why.  An interesting thing happened, which is I tended to get a bunch of followers really quickly, and they would DM me saying, “Finally, someone’s just saying it like it really is in the industry. Finally, someone is lifting back the curtain. Finally, finally, finally.” And so I just doubled down on that approach. And so fast-forward to today, I have 82,000 followers on LinkedIn. The majority of my business comes in through DMs on LinkedIn from them having read my posts, my thoughts.  And by the time they actually come to me, they already have a good sense for my ethos, how I think, how I operate, that I work with good companies only. They know me. So the vetting process is 75% of the way done by the time they ever reach out. So that’s the cheat code. I’ve shortened the sales cycle from my old world being three months down to a week. If we have a phone call, we put together a quick proposal, and then it’s done because they are already looking to hire me when they reach out. So that’s the framework, that’s the cheat code, that’s the hack, and it’s applicable to just about any industry.  Okay. So I love it. So let’s break it down. So how do you create this effect where people pick up the phone or DM you and within a week sign you up? What is the process?  Yeah. So the process is just I post literally every day of my life. Maybe weekends I’ll take a break, it depends. But every work weekday I am posting. It is not a nice-to-have, it is a mission-critical function of Crackle PR. I would say up until recently, about 90% of my leads came in through my commentary and writing and posting on LinkedIn.  And it's really me just sharing everything that I know, including commenting on the news of the day tapping into the zeitgeist about issues that are happening from a public relations standpoint, and sharing real-time thought leadership across my…Share on X And so it’s not a simple process of, like, I do A and then B. It’s really more like, what’s happening today? What’s a story that I should tell and comment on today? And then how is that going to positively impact my key audiences?  I’m always doing it with the intent to simply share value and expect nothing in return. I almost never ask for anything. Occasionally I’ll say, “Hey, does anybody know a good account manager?” But I’m not out there selling my wares on LinkedIn. I’m very simply ungating my brain and letting everyone have access to it, and the right people find me at the right time.  Love it. Love it. So the four steps I heard were: post every day, tap into the zeitgeist or the story of the day, how to impact your key audience, so essentially the story and how can you turn it into something that helps people, and no CTA at the end.  That’s right.  Yeah. Love it. That’s a great framework.  Yeah. It’s great. And you know what’s interesting is that it’s multifaceted in the sense I’ve told you already that the majority of my business comes from LinkedIn, okay? Because I share what I know. It’s thought leadership in real time, and it’s a captive audience. The byproduct of that is interesting, which is that I am constantly written about in the news by, like, The Guardian, the Wall Street Journal, you name the publication. Because they’re finding me on that platform and reading what I have to say and reaching out for comment to expand on those ideas.  So it's got this virtuous cycle where, as a PR guy myself, it's interesting that I'm putting thoughts out into the world and I'm attracting earned mediaShare on X which is the coveted thing that all of the LLMs I talk about rest on, because 82% or something of citations across LLMs come from earned media. So it’s a really virtuous cycle that I’ve stumbled upon and that I’m trying to refine and hone over time.  So basically, you’re drinking your own Kool-Aid. Yeah. Sometimes I wonder, a lot of marketing agencies, they sell marketing, but they are not able to market themselves well.  “The cobbler’s children have no shoes” is the common expression.  Exactly. But you are the cobbler’s child who found a pair of shoes, and this is actually doing what you’re preaching others should do. So that’s kind of very, very counterintuitively intuitive.  Well, just to add on that quickly. So public relations, we’re about promoting and publicity and all of that. The bizarre irony is that the vast majority of people who are great at writing, great at promoting, like me, don’t post on LinkedIn. They’re not sharing their thoughts out there. They’re not doing what they were born to do, which is a really fascinating thing.  And I think part of it is where they work and they’re afraid they’ll say the wrong thing or maybe lose a client or whatever it may be. But my idea is, and I tell my team this, my staff this, is like, “I want you out there sharing how smart you are every single day. I’m under no illusions that you’ll be with me until the end of your life, okay? But while you’re with me, I want you sharing what you know, the good, the bad, and the ugly about our industry, because that’ll help you gain a brand, and it’ll help me attract an audience.”  It’s a win-win. So I wish more people had that mindset where they weren’t stingy about who has a voice but rather empowered everyone across the organization to use that voice for the better of the organization and for themselves.  Yeah, but it takes discipline to write every day. It’s not easy. It’s not easy at all. It’s easier for others than some. I mean, I was a journalist. I came up writing, so for me, it’s just a natural thing, and most PR people are writers. So you’d think it would be pretty easy for us because we write every day for our clients, but I would say probably 85-plus percent of the people in my profession are either afraid or don’t have time or just don’t want to do it, and I just think it’s a shame. They’re leaving a lot of at-bats on the field.  No, absolutely. Absolutely. So you kind of half answered my question that I’m going to ask, but I’m going to ask it anyway because I’m curious about other aspects to it. So what drives growth in your business?  Yeah. So if you asked me this six months ago, I would’ve said primarily it’s LinkedIn and referrals. Today, I’m happy to report that it’s referrals and LinkedIn, and also my optimized website, my website that’s optimized for the LLM era. Again, another example of eating my own dog food here, where I’m making my website readable both to humans and the machines that cite, and I’m preemptively going after the earned media pieces that will then fuel citations for my company and for my website.  So again, I’m trying to create this flywheel here, and I think I’ve been pretty successful so far. I would argue probably among the most successful in PR agencies, where I’m feeding the beast constantly and prescriptively doing so, so that my website, my LinkedIn work, my earned media hits all effectively get scraped and cited by these LLMs, which is the future of search, obviously.  Yeah.  I still use Google occasionally, but even Google is just the AI explanation up top. You’re not even going down, scrolling anymore. You’re just getting the quick explanations. And so everything is headed that way, and I think that being a first mover on that front is particularly important. And I think any marketer that is not looking at the LLM landscape as the next great frontier is missing the boat.  Oh, yeah. I love it. So how do these LLMs work? Do you have an insight, a deeper insight as to how to create these quotes or how to show up? Is it just writing every day, making original posts, or is there more to it?  There’s a bunch of things, and this could be a topic for a podcast in and of itself, but I’ll just talk in basic terms to not have your audience’s eyes glaze over. It used to be that, for example, we would write in PR a press release that was very narrative in structure. X company today announced, and the CEO is proud, and all of that kind of stuff. And then that was used to then go pitch the media.  Well, the LLMs are scraping these press releases now, and what you want to try and do is make it as easy as possible for them to lift the essence of that informationShare on X in an attributable way to the author or the company that is in question here. So it’s about making it digestible and ingestible for the LLMs, and there’s a variety of techniques and tricks that you can do this with, and your audience can do a quick search and find those tricks. But there’s a whole playbook now about how to do that, and it’s not even just things like press releases, but it’s how you structure your bylined articles that you place, and it’s how you frame your conversations with reporters so that you’re saying things in such a way that the LLMs will ingest these and then in turn cite these for respective audiences.  And by the way, whether it’s Gemini, ChatGPT, all these different models, they all look for different things. So some of them rely heavily on places like Reddit. Some of them rely heavily on places like YouTube. Some of them ingest things more frequently than others. So there’s a whole cornucopia of things that has to be done if you’re really going to dial it in because no two LLMs are alike, and they value different things, and they weight them more heavily. So it really is a science, more so than an art form, which is what I think PR is largely known to be, more of an art form.Share on X  Yeah. Yeah. So at the beginning of this conversation, you shared that you have been part of big PR companies, and you wanted to do it differently. You wanted to have a senior people-heavy agency where, I guess, people get straight from the horse’s mouth what they want to have. So is this model scalable? And if so, how?  Yeah, it is scalable. And I think there’s a distinction. So when I say senior talent, I’m not talking about only VPs. So we have account directors, we have account managers, we have senior account executives. So they’re a little further down on the scale.  But what we don’t have is interns and account coordinators and the very earliest players. So everybody has at least four to five years of experience on the team. And so in that sense, it is scalable, provided that the minimum retainers are sufficient. So we have a $12,000 minimum monthly retainer, and that’s very intentional because we know what we need to do to be able to be profitable and to continue to hire and scale, to your point.  So yeah, it is scalable, but it takes work, and it took a lot of hand-wringing and mistakes along the way to get to a point where we’re able to do it now. But it’s kind of beautiful in the sense that I don’t want to be a huge 250-person agency. I think I’m comfortable in the 20- to 50-employee range, and then I’ll probably, in a few years, ride off into the sunset, having made a very good earning or good living, rather and I’m not trying to become a billionaire here.  So who are your ideal customers that you’ll hire?  Yeah. Typically, it’s, first of all, good companies doing good things. We don’t want to work with tobacco companies or people that are negatively contributing to the world. And it’s typically B2B technology companies in A round, B round, C round, D round of funding, or even publicly traded companies. It’s a pretty wide swath, but the common thread is B2B tech is the sweet spot. And again, we’re looking for largely challenger brands. There are some that are the leaders that we have, but I think it's much more interesting to help build a brand than it is to maintain one. So those are the kinds of clients we tend to look for.Share on X  So do you do the same thing for them that you do for yourself, for your agency, or is it a different approach?  Yeah. No, I mean, we focus a heck of a lot more on earned media for our clients because that still is the lifeblood of a traditional PR program. But the earned media, as we just talked about, inform the LLMs that are now citing them in their answers. So we got thrown kind of a bouquet in PR. Everybody’s talking about AI being difficult and losing jobs, and a lot of that is true. The PR industry got kind of fortunate in the sense that earned media is more important than it’s ever been because LLMs rely on them to cite their sources.  And it’s an unfortunate problem because at the same time PR is more important than ever, reporters in the media landscape are dwindling faster than ever.Share on X There are reporters getting laid off everywhere. There’s all kinds of restructuring. There’s reporters bouncing around, going to Substack, trying to eke out a living. And I just wish there was a way to create more parity where 10 years ago, 15 years ago, the media landscape was really strong, and now it’s really struggling.  Now, this isn’t to say there aren’t opportunities out there to pitch the media because there’s more people, and it’s just more diffuse. So you have all these different audiences that you didn’t have before, like Beehiiv and Substack and podcasts and all of these disparate groups, whereas it used to just be, “Here’s my 25 newspapers and magazines we’re going after,” and that was the entirety of it. So now it requires a lot more work, a lot more research to find out where your audiences are and who they’re reading or what they’re watching or which podcast that they’re looking at.  So it requires PR people to be more resourceful, to spend a lot more time researching who they're going after and making sure they're very precise in their outreachShare on X versus the old days when it was this spray-and-pray approach, knowing that some amount of people will cover it and so therefore it’s worth it. Today, it’s about you have to make sure you’re not wasting anyone’s time and making sure that you’ve done your homework.  Yeah, it’s becoming a very fragmented business. So what is your expectation of the future as these big media outlets are disintegrating, consolidating, or even disappearing? Is it just going to be more atomized, or is this a cyclical thing where you have the fragmentation, and then it’s going to consolidate again?  Yeah. The answer is I’m not sure. What I would like to happen is what some—I know some countries actually fund the free and fair media to make sure that it’s a healthy ecosystem where there are checks and balances. I am not under the illusion that that’s going to happen in this country anytime soon, although I wish it would, because it’s really for the betterment of everyone.  But I think what will happen in the short term is more of what’s happening now, which is the atomization of all these folks going to different platforms to try to eke out a living on their own. They’re taking agency of their lives. But I would like to think against that backdrop there’ll be a movement, because businesses are going to require it at some point, that there’s third-party validation from trusted sources.  I would like there to be a consortium of some sort built where companies of a certain size are all contributing to the same pool to try to get this healthy landscape that we need. I don’t know the answers. I haven’t solved it. If I did, I’d be a very, very wealthy man. But I know that the government in some countries are actively funding a free and fair press, and I really wish we would do that here.  So let me switch gears here and ask you a very different question.  Okay.  If you had a magic wand and you could fix one thing in your company in the next 12 months, what would that be?  I think it would be that I could adequately teach everyone in the organization how best to utilize tools like Claude Code and others to automate much of the grunt work that takes time away from strategy. So we are really strategic. We do a lot of brainstorming. We are great at our thinking and our writing and pitching and all of that.Share on X  But there’s a whole heck of a lot of stuff that’s related to reporting and research and stuff that just takes a whole lot of time. So I wish everybody could just instantly understand how best to use these tools to eliminate the drudgery from our jobs, to focus instead on the strategy.  Why do you think it’s not happening?  There’s a learning curve, and frankly, there is an expense. These tokens are not inexpensive, so you have to pay a bunch of money for these things. You have to put the time in. You have to have an appetite to learn it, and then you have to have the aptitude to learn it. Now, I’ve gotten pretty, pretty good at this stuff. I’m self-taught. I built my own website using these tools. I mean, I’m pretty deep myself. But at the end of the day, most of my employees are working their butts off on their client stuff, and this stuff I’m talking about is kind of extracurricular and difficult to do.  And so what I’m trying to do. We just talked about this last week is putting aside office hours for everyone to figure out these big, hairy projects they want to get better at and learn and devote time to it on my dime.Share on X I’m happy to pay for it, for them to put the work in, get the skills that they need to be able to make shorter work of the stuff that just takes too long and isn’t, frankly, satisfying professionally.  Yeah. I mean, it is uncomfortable when people have to learn something that is completely different from the skills that they have been making their money with, right?  Yeah. Well, and I’ll take it a step further. So I’ve been quoted in a couple of, like The Guardian recently, about some of these commencement speeches where you have one of the heads of Google and all these bigwigs at college commencement speeches talking about AI and ushering in this new revolution, and they’re getting booed. They’re getting booed while they’re speaking because the students in these halls recognize that there’s an existential threat right now in the form of AI.  They already have enough challenges relative to affordability and buying a home and all these different things, and now you’re telling them that AI is going to take a huge chunk of their jobs before they even get out of the gate. And against that backdrop, they’re not being equipped in college to be able to come out into the real world with the coding skill, the Claude Code skills I’m talking about now.  So they’re coming out handcuffed and kneecapped out of the gate into this world that they’ve been foisted upon. And I think that’s a big challenge. And so bringing it back to my office, or anybody who’s in the situation we are, everybody’s kind of grudgingly learning how to do this stuff or else. Or else you’ll fall behind, or else you won’t have a job, or else someone will take your job. And I think that’s a very real angsty feeling that a lot of people have.  And so part of me feels guilty for wanting to tell my people, “Look, we’ve got to get skilled up on these things,” because I know a lot of people would rather it just didn’t exist. But pretending something doesn’t exist isn’t the way forward. You've got to look it square in the face, realize what it is, and then do your level best to try to maximize what you can with it. And that's where we're at.Share on X  Do you see a lot of disruption happening in PR, or are agencies just waking up to this issue?  Yeah, I see a lot of disruption, and I think it’s for the worse. I think right now what we’re seeing is there are a whole lot of agencies that are taking the AI slop, spray-and-pray approach. Like, they are literally using these AI machines to pitch all these reporters who, by the way, can tell when they’re getting pitched with AI, and then they’re immediately getting blacklisted because they don’t want to deal with the machine. So yes, there’s disruption, but I think it’s noise instead of a positive disruption. I think there’s not much to be gained from the AI tools that way.  I will say it’s disrupted the way some of the largest agencies have operated because for years they worked on a time-and-materials model. That’s a little difficult to justify now when you have machines doing in seconds what used to take weeks or sometimes months from a research standpoint. So that’s disrupted the whole agency model. And I would argue that’s for the better because the time-and-materials model, I think, was an excuse for busy work.  Yeah. That is true. What do you suggest if someone is looking for a PR agency? What is the criteria that they should apply to evaluate an agency? What kind of agency should they be choosing?  Yeah. So I mean, I think there’s a couple things I would say. One is, make sure that you understand who’s actually doing the work on your team. There’s a classic bait-and-switch problem in PR. I already talked about this, where it’s like you talk to me during the call, and then you have an intern doing your work, and that obviously isn’t very equitable. So there’s that. I think having proficiency in the new world relative to large language models and share of citation.  I think that stuff is really important now because directionally that’s where we’re headed. And then for me, the one thing that is so true it was true the day I started my agency, and it’ll always be true is hire strong writers, real human writers. Because the AI slop is nauseating out there. Something like 60% of posts on LinkedIn are now written by AI, as reported by LinkedIn. And people are just getting really sick of this sea of sameness because AI really is just the average of everything that’s come before it, everything that’s been written before it.  It’s an average of that. And that’s a path to mediocrity really, really quickly. So strong writers, senior leaders who are doing the work, I think, are key, and then obviously prowess around the idea of how to get your products and services cited across the LLMs that are becoming increasingly important every day.  Love it. Love it. That’s very encouraging because what I see is that these platforms, like Claude, they offer to codify your writing voice and write in your voice. What do you think of these approaches?  Yeah. I think probably for some lines of work it might make sense. For our world, it just does not. If you’re a writer and you’ve valued the English language, you can very quickly determine what’s AI and what is not. And that’s the case with all of the reporters that are covering our clients every day. So they know what’s AI. People in our industry know what AI is, and you can just tell when someone is responding with AI.  You’re getting a note in the mail that’s written by AI. You’re getting an email back from AI. It’s just nauseating, and it’s just disheartening. And I think that there is going to increasingly be a premium placed on human writers and human artists and people who are doing human work that has real value and real thought versus the distillation of everything that’s come before it, which is what AI is.  So if people would like to learn more about you or read your posts or connect with your team, where should they go?  So cracklepr.com is the website. I am Parry Headrick on LinkedIn. You can find me there. And I’ve gotten off of most of the other social platforms because I’ve had some issues with the Facebooks of the world, and so I canceled those a long time ago. So Bluesky would be another one. Parry Headrick on Bluesky.  Okay. Well, if you liked what you heard and you want real writers who will be discovered by LLMs, and you want to get your company featured on ChatGPT and Claude and the other platforms, then check out Parry Headrick, Founder of Crackle PR. Start reading his posts, which I will be. I think I already am. And if you enjoyed this conversation, then stay tuned because a couple of times a week I’ll bring an exciting entrepreneur who has changed the world and will share their unique frameworks with you. So thanks for coming, Parry, and thanks for listening. It’s been my pleasure. Thanks. Important Links: Parry's LinkedIn Parry's website

In this episode of the Reading With Your Kids podcast, Jed welcomes two inspiring picture book creators who are helping families nurture curiosity, confidence, and connection. First, Jed chats with Leah Wolf Hurst, an occupational therapist, yoga teacher, personal trainer, ergonomist, and mindfulness coach known as "The Wolf of Wellness." Leah introduces her picture book "Bob's Donuts for Breakfast," a sensory-rich love letter to San Francisco that follows a carefree dog and an anxious squirrel on a delicious adventure through iconic city landmarks. Leah explains how these two characters represent opposing forces inside all of us—impulse and caution—and how their journey invites families to notice the extraordinary in everyday life. She and Jed dive into themes of curiosity, presence, nervous system health, and screen time, especially in the age of AI, and how picture books can gently teach mindfulness without ever using the word. Then Jed is joined by Jody Glazer Tob, author of the debut picture book "Me and Marta and the Magic Shoes," inspired by her own struggles being told she was "too small" to dance. Jody shares how returning to salsa dance in Brooklyn as an adult, with a supportive teacher and friend, completely changed her story—and why she felt obligated to pass that message on to kids. She talks about working with her 83-year-old dad as the book's illustrator, the joy of seeing a child discover her book in a store, and the power of kindness, perseverance, and the arts. Jody also offers down-to-earth advice for debut and aspiring authors on marketing, community, and treating your book like a small business.

San Francisco's housing market is on fire. AI employees from OpenAI, Anthropic, and the broader tech boom are flooding the market with cash, driving record overbids and a frenzy not seen since before the 2022 collapse. Meanwhile, Seattle's market is slumping under the weight of tech layoffs, elevated rates, and a political class that has made no secret of its contempt for the high earners keeping the city afloat.The leadership contrast tells the whole story. In San Francisco, Mayor Daniel Lurie has been methodically cleaning up the city — businesses are returning, buyers are bidding over ask, and IPO money is flowing straight into real estate. In Seattle, the mayor has been on record saying he's not worried about the millionaires, the city has been actively taxing businesses out the door, and now Katie Wilson has been elected promising more of the same agenda that already sent Starbucks packing to Nashville.The numbers back it up. San Francisco is seeing record overbidding fueled by AI salaries and stock windfalls. Seattle is watching sales volume crater and buyers freeze at the threshold — not because prices have collapsed, but because nobody trusts where the city is headed. AI is reshuffling where tech workers choose to plant roots, and right now Seattle's leadership is giving them every reason to plant them somewhere else.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, housing markets, and the leadership decisions reshaping the West Coast.#NFRP #Seattle #SanFranciscoGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

A.M. Edition for Sept. 3. The U.S. is extending its troop deployments to the Middle East well into 2027, putting the prospects of an end to the Iran war further away.

Plus, Russia gains the upper hand in Ukraine, with a barrage of new drones. And Uber's global robotaxi push faces a litmus test on the mean streets of London. Luke Vargas hosts.

Just off San Pablo Point, near the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, there's a tiny spec of an island with a beautiful Victorian-era building on it. East Brother Light Station has been there since 1874, its light beaming out to warn boats away from unexpectedly shallow waters. Bay Curious listener Kathleen Taylor noticed the lighthouse on a ferry ride from Vallejo to San Francisco for a baseball game and wondered what went on there over the years. She tagged along as we visited the island and got a private tour with the current keepers.

Michael Moritz has written books through every phase of his life: the first history of Apple and an account of Chrysler's near-death while he was a journalist at Time, a study of Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the middle of his 38 years at Sequoia, and now Ausländer, a family memoir, after leaving the firm. Moritz calls himself a dilettante with too many interests, but listen to him on learning to paint in his 40s, or the questions he would ask a ten-year-old boy in a German village in 1890, and you may decide that unsatisfied curiosity is not a small thing to build a life on. Tyler and Michael discuss his childhood in Wales, where his love for visual arts came from, why he disappointed his Latin teacher, having Thanksgiving dinner with Philip Roth, why children don't interrogate their parents about their history, what he feels visiting Germany and why he now holds German citizenship, how a history major with no technical background talked his way into Sequoia, his unpublished Don Valentine profile, what people underrate about Steve Jobs, obsessives versus dilettantes, why capitalism was more ablaze in China than America, what funding the Booker Prize taught him about his own ignorance, how to improve San nonprofits, how an incurable cancer diagnosis changed his calendar, why Britain's stuck, what he'll learn next, and more.
