This week, Ed and Julian break down what's changing on the earning side, how credit cards factor in, and whether these updates actually move the needle for everyday travelers. From there, the conversation shifts to Hyatt after a detailed (but ultimately false) rumor sparked debate about a premium credit card and new award categories. Could something like this still happen? And what would it mean for Globalist members? Plus, an unexpected development in the Chase Travel portal: American Airlines flights are now showing up with Points Boost pricing. What does that mean for Chase cardholders — and could this signal a bigger shift in airline partnerships?

A boost in tax revenue has given the National Treasury room to offer the first inflation-linked tax relief since the 2023/24 financial year. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana says revenue for the current financial year is projected to come in higher than previously forecast. This has been supported by stronger VAT collections and higher platinum and gold prices. Tabling the 2026 budget in Parliament in Cape Town, Godongwana says the improvement revenue collections has allowed government to scrap 20 billion rand in planned tax increases.

Interview by Ali WilliamsSome bands talk about changing the world. Others actually try to rewire the power source. When HEAVY's Ali Williams caught up with Lime Cordiale's Ollie Leimbach, he was literally on the floor, charging his laptop somewhere five hours north of Sydney. Very rock 'n' roll. Very Northern Rivers. Very “I may or may not be barefoot and slightly stinky.” Which, frankly, checks out. Between laughs about weather patterns and mild coastal smugness, Ollie casually dropped the fact that Lime Cordiale are putting the finishing touches on album number four . Not that they're rushing it. “We're not a three-week studio band,” he admits. This one's only taken about a year. Growth. Maturity. Slightly less agonising perfectionism. But the real headline here isn't just new music. It's Lime Green Festival, their upcoming off-grid, battery-powered, 5,000-capacity experiment-slash-party happening April 18 off the coast of Adelaide . Yes, battery powered. As in, no diesel generators chugging away backstage. As in, the band is fully prepared to risk a blackout mid-set in the name of progress. Bold. Slightly terrifying. Excellent content. The Lime Green concept was born out of a crisis of conscience. During COVID, the band were working on a farm on the Mid-North Coast, diving into regenerative agriculture and learning how to reduce their footprint. Then touring came back. Planes. Diesel buses. Global laps. Cue existential whiplash. Rather than retreat into eco-guilt or write twelve reggae protest songs (no dreadlocks involved, he promises), Lime Cordiale decided to tackle the industry from within. Their approach is refreshingly non-preachy. No finger wagging. No “stop living your life.” Just practical shifts. They've trialled biodiesel buses in Europe, slashing touring emissions by around 98 percent. They've put a dollar from every ticket toward environmental causes they genuinely connect with. In Adelaide, that means supporting awareness around the current algal bloom crisis devastating local waters . Dead fish, stinging water, beaches people can't swim in. Not exactly tourism brochure material. The Lime Green Festival, though, is the big swing. Fully off-grid. Fully battery-powered. A case study in proving that you can run a major event without defaulting to fossil fuel generators. The battery companies are confident. The production crews are cautious. Ollie seems almost excited about the possibility of chaos. “If there is a blackout halfway through, that's part of the journey,” he shrugs . That's the spirit. Punk rock, but with renewable infrastructure. The lineup includes The Dreggs alongside Adelaide locals Alexia, Pash, and a Triple J Unearthed winner . Capacity sits at 5,000, which would make it Australia's largest fully battery-powered festival to date . Casual. Beyond the headline tech flex, Lime Green will feature practical green initiatives: better waste sorting, encouragement to bring reusable bottles, conscious messaging. Not exactly radical ideas, but when you've ever seen a post-gig floor that looks like a plastic tornado hit a bar fridge, you understand why it matters. Throughout the chat, Ollie keeps circling back to one core idea: don't shame people into change. Don't demand everyone bin their petrol cars tomorrow. Replace things when they break. Upgrade when it makes sense. Let progress feel possible, not punitive. It's a refreshingly pragmatic take in a space that often devolves into moral Olympics. At the end of the day, Lime Green will still be what everyone actually shows up for: good music, a crowd, and a reason to forget your inbox for a few hours. The difference is that it might also quietly prove that the industry can do better without killing the vibe. Album number four is brewing. The future might be battery powered. And if the lights flicker mid-chorus on April 18, at least you'll know you're witnessing a social experiment in real time.

When you set "realistic" goals for your property management business, you might actually be limiting your growth without even realizing it…  In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth experts Jason and Sarah Hull challenge entrepreneurs to think bigger, much bigger. Inspired by their experience flying a fighter jet and the concept of "impossible goals" from The Science of Scaling, they break down why realistic goals keep you stuck in current thinking, how unrealistic targets activate visionary leadership, and why 10X growth can actually be easier than incremental growth.  They explain how impossible goals shift your brain from grinding harder to thinking differently, why realistic targets often become a yardstick to beat yourself up, and how visionary entrepreneurs use bold thinking to collapse time, find new pathways, and unlock opportunities that logic alone would never reveal. They also share how to handle naysayers, protect your vision, and use doubt as fuel instead of letting it shrink your ambition. If you're ready to stop playing small, stop chasing "safe" growth, and start building something that transforms your market — this episode will challenge the way you think about goals, leadership, and what's actually possible in your business.   You'll Learn (00:00) Introduction to DoorGrow and Unrealistic Goals  (07:37) The Importance of Unrealistic Goals  (15:54) Overcoming Doubts and Limitations  (22:56) Visionary Thinking and Future Goals Quotables "I want to tell everybody to be unrealistic."  "You need to decide, I can do the things that I want to do."  "The slowest path to growth is to do it alone. So let's grow together." Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason & Sarah Hull (00:01) All right, five, four, three, two, one. All right, everybody, we are Jason and Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses.   We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now, let's get into the show. All right, so today's topic, Sarah wanted to talk about. I want to tell everybody to be unrealistic. We're going to talk about unrealistic goals. She wants you to be unrealistic. I do want you to be unrealistic. And I also want you to clear all of this off. OK.   Yay. Happy. Yeah. Slightly. All right. All right. So one of the things that we got to do very recently is something that I never, never thought we would be able to do because it was seemingly unrealistic. And that was to fly a fighter jet. And by fly a fighter jet.   Yes, it was a real fighter jet. It's an L39 Albatross. For those of you that are familiar, it was not typically equipped with fighter equipment. It was mostly used as a trainer. However, it can be armed and therefore is classified as a fighter jet. And yes, we actually got to fly it. We didn't just go in it and take a look and see. Both Jason and I, one at a time, of course, got to.   fly a fighter jet and do some aerobatic maneuvers. Which was insanely fun. Right. So we took a trip to Australia and to visit my parents in Brisbane. And we saw a billboard that said, fly a fighter jet. And I was like, what? And Sarah's super into flying. So was like, hey, there's a thing. It says this. And she's like, what? I don't think so.   And I'm like, yeah. So it turns out there's, guess, the person there that runs it told us there's three countries in the world that allow you to do this because normally you can't fly one of these planes or go in as a consumer to fly one of these planes because, you know, there's all these rules because it's then a commercial flight and a commercial flight. have all these legal requirements and things you can't in the U.S. They cannot.   You cannot charter or pay for a chartered pay for a flight and then not have all these safety things in place. And this is not like, it's not the same, right? Like he's teaching us at the beginning how to eject. He's like, if we need to eject, this is what you need to do and like do this. And I'm like, what? And so there is not an ejection seat on it. There's no ejection seat. So what we'll do is we'll fly up really high and then you're going to.   do this thing and do this and the canopy will fly off and then you gotta push off. then once you're in the air and you've then pulled this thing, if your parachute doesn't automatically deploy, you wanna grab this. And I'm like, if I don't remember all this, I die? Like what? Yeah. So. It's just two levers. Could you imagine if you're on. It's two levers to open the canopy and he's gonna fly and you don't have to jump.   You're like, have to launch yourself. right, you don't have to launch yourself. You pretty much will just wait for the plane to fall out from under you while you float in parachute. Could you imagine you're like, get herded in like cattle into Southwest and you're like, you're on the Southwest bus, right? And you get your seat. Actually, they're going to have assigned seating now, I guess. But before I was just free for all. you're like, get in and you're like, and they're like, hey, by the way, here's how to.   like find a parachute and here's what all the steps you need to do in case there's a problem. Do you have this down or you die? You ready? We're like, wait, what? Yeah. They're just like, here's a flotation device and your seat and like here's how to use your seatbelt and then breathe in this thing if you need to. And otherwise, like that's it.   But yeah, like parachute down. Because on the airlines, it's like, if you survive the crash, then we'll tell you what to do after that. Don't worry about it. OK, so. Sorry. Yes. So no possible goal. It's very, very safe to fly on the airlines. is. it's it's consistently getting more and more safe. This is slightly different than flying on an airline. This was it was really cool. Super fun.   He let us take the little joystick control and like. The little joystick control. What do you call it? What is it called? The little joystick control. It's between your legs and it's a joystick. Don't get any ideas. just called But you grab this thing and like, yeah, you take the stick. like, do you want to do it? He's like, all right. He guided me through doing, I got to do a barrel roll. Yep. And I got to do a loop. Yep. Which I call a loop-de-loop. Yeah. But I got to do a loop-de-loop.   And it was really, it was crazy. Like I'm like doing, I'm like, and we got a video like on his DJI camera, like a GoPro, like the whole thing was recorded. So there's evidence that I did this. Right. But yeah, it pretty wild. was really wild that we could go do that. And apparently if you spend enough money and you're in the right country, you can do maybe anything. I don't know. There are certain places, upon further research.   There are certain places in the US that will let you fly certain jets. And the Albatross is actually the most common out of the ones that you can fly in the US. The is finding someone that will allow you to fly it. that's a bit different. Yes. Like if you get to control it. Because, yes, exactly. Yeah. And sometimes ⁓ these are owned by private owners. So like if you know a guy and you go, hey, can you...   Can you take me up? They might let you take the controls. might let you do it, you know, but there's also schools. I think there's one. Oh, I forgot where it's called, but it's called like Jet Trainer Center or something like that. The guy that runs it is Larry and they have an albatross is one of them, but I think they have like six different actual jets that you can fly and learn as well, which is   really cool. But then there's schools. So it's not impossible in the US. It's just there's a few extra hurdles that you might need to cross. it's something though that I thought I would never ever get to do. Like when you look at these crazy jets, generally I don't think   you look at it and go, yeah, I could fly that one day. We went to that air show. During any of that point, were you looking at those planes going, yeah, I could fly one of those. Yeah, I wonder what it would take to fly one of those. No, I was not thinking that. right, because you just don't usually think that it's possible. You think, oh, wow, those are probably owned and many of them are by museums.   or by some sort of club that's funded to keep this thing airworthy and maintained and flying, they probably aren't going to let the public fly it. Okay. So why is it important to have unrealistic goals? Well, I think you should be very unrealistic in your goals because if you're realistic, if you go, okay,   I just want to do things that I know that I can do. Then it almost takes the fun out of it, number one. And I think that's, for entrepreneurs, that's half the battle is, it fun? What was the journey like? Or was it something that you can just go, yeah, I did it, but everybody else can do it too. Where's the fun in that? Yeah, Cindy Lauper said girls just want to have fun. ⁓   So we had to make sure she had some fun. ⁓ Yeah, guys, we want to have some fun, too, right? So it was yeah, was super cool to be able to do that. I think the way I view this, I've been explaining the idea of unrealistic goals or impossible goals, ⁓ which we got the idea from Dr. Benjamin Hardy and his book, The Science of Scaling. And we got to hear him talk about this at a mastermind. The idea is that our.   know, realistic goals are based on our current limited level of thinking. And so that means our brain already knows how to do it. And it usually is just do what you already know how to do. But because that's not enough, just do more, work harder. And that's not a great strategy or great path is to just work harder because that's not really exciting. That's not super. That's not fun. Like, hey, work, work, do what you're doing already, but work harder, which is less, more uncomfortable. just.   More effort. Work 22 hours a day instead of 18. Yeah, yeah, more hours. And so Impossible Goals, our brain, I view as this magical like quantum computer. Like it can create whole realities instantly in our head while we're sleeping. And it can do all these amazing things. And our unconscious mind or subconscious can be working on problems and crunching and chewing on challenges and figuring stuff out and coming up with ideas.   that bubble up to the surface. But if we focus on realistic goals, it shuts down. It doesn't have anything useful to do. It's going to figure out why is this so hard? Cool. Here's all your reasons. Let's just make it harder. And how do we avoid pain? Well, I'm going to convince you or cause you to have challenges in just even doing this because this sounds uncomfortable. It doesn't sound fun. So I'm going to give you all the excuses and BS stories and reasons to not do it. So our brain actually starts working against us.   And so when we get in, so usually realistic goals become this yardstick by which we beat ourselves up with over the head, right? And we measure ourselves by it, but then it really just becomes a tool to beat ourselves up. Whereas when we shift into impossible goals or unrealistic thinking or unrealistic goals, it doesn't matter if we hit these goals. It just matters that we have this amazing new tool or resource to convince or get our brain to think differently and to come up with new pathways.   And so our brain becomes this awesome tool to find new pathways or new ways of thinking. And it gets us to think differently. So even if we don't achieve the goal, we're far more likely to get good results because we're thinking outside of our current limitations or the current box. And so we use goals as a tool or we use time as a tool. We either shorten the timeline for the outcome to where it becomes impossible or unrealistic, or we just 10x or increase the goal amount or what.   result we want to achieve in the timeline we had set. And so time becomes a tool or the goal becomes a tool and we find new pathways. We find new ways of doing this. And I've seen clients do this. I've seen this in reality. We've started doing this in our own business. And this is why we're able to innovate, come up with new ideas, because our brains are alive. This is where you actually shift as an entrepreneur into being a visionary entrepreneur. Because if you're focused on realistic goals, there's no vision. You already know what to do.   You know it all. You already know what to do. And so you're not focused on anything different or anything new. There's no vision there. And the Bible says where there's no vision, the people perish, right? You got to some vision. That's leadership. So now you're a visionary, you're a leader. And visionaries and leaders throughout history have always had some sort of goal that everybody said, that's not going to work. That's impossible. Why are you trying so hard? Just focus on something realistic.   And the cool thing about these impossible goals is even if you don't hit it, you're not going to beat yourself up. Like if your goal is a thousand doors in a year, but you hit 300, are you going to cry like a little baby? No, you're not going to cry. You're going to be like, Hey, this awesome. You're going to be excited. And so you're still like, I didn't hit the goal, but I won. But if you have a realistic goal and you're like, I want to get a hundred doors this year.   then you're going to feel like garbage when you don't hit it. Cause you're like, it's so realistic. know I could have done it and I didn't do it. And then you start beating yourself up and I didn't do it this year, Jason. And I should have signed up with door grow and I just didn't do it. And I would have achieved my realistic goals or maybe some impossible ones. And you drop the ball. You messed up. You should have got with us and we could have helped you out. All right. You messed up. Isn't that from A.A. You done messed up A.A. Ron. Yeah. Okay.   Key and peel. right. So here's how to not mess up your maintenance though in property management. OK. That was a segue to our sponsor. was. gave me like three of them and that's did we go with this? OK, cool. So ⁓ yes. So how do I turn that on? boy. All right. Right over here. Many clicks. wait. No, no. I got it. I got it. All right. So.   Yeah, you made me close this. because you said it was in the way. Right on the screen. Because you got to like. right. All right. Here we go. Sponsored by this episode, sponsored by vendor.

All right. It was a smooth transit, smooth operator. Cool. I'm leaving this up because I need the outro. Fine. No. Okay. I can't. Sorry. Well, I said no. all right. Cool. So here's what I was thinking originally, right?   is... boy. I know. So when you start to think about the things that you want to do...   You know when you have that half second where you just dream a little bit? Yeah. And it's almost like you get transported back in time where when you were a kid and people would ask you, what do you want to do when you grow up? And you can say anything. Yeah. And it doesn't matter what you say. You can say anything in the world. I'm going to be leader of the free world. I want to be an astronaut. President of the United States. you should be an astronaut.   I wanna be a doctor that operates on, I wanna be a brain surgeon, right? And people go, yeah, you should do that. That's amazing. That's so great. We need to get back to more of that in adulthood though. So now it's like, hey, what do you wanna do with your business? And for some reason, instead of this outlandish, unrealistic, seemingly impossible, crazy thing where it's like, you know what? I wanna take over an entire state.   or wanna dominate the entire market, or you know what? Actually, I think what I wanna do is I wanna get so big that I purchase all of my competitors and all of the slumlords properties and I turn them around. And then I completely eliminate bad property managers and slumlords in my market and I'm gonna do that. Man, that's exciting, but we don't allow ourselves to do that anymore as adults because we're so nervous about, but.   Can I do that? And what will other people think about it? And will people believe that I can do that if I say this crazy thing? Do you think that it would have been crazy for me to tell people, hey, one day I'm gonna go fly a fighter jet? Yeah, people would have laughed at me. They would have been like, yeah, sure you are. Sure, okay, Sarah, sure. So here's my current goal. And it's not a new goal.   It's on the list, but it's definitely staying on the list. My goal is to fly a Boeing 737 without being an airline pilot. You don't want to work for the airlines. So if I went to the airlines, it would be really easy. It's like, oh, okay. I mean, it's not that hard, right? Because you're choosing a path that you know is going to get you there. I don't want to work for the airlines, but I really want to fly a Boeing 737.   So without working for the airlines, that seems pretty much impossible. And in fact, I have shared this online on social media and pilots, pilots are telling me that it's impossible. They're like, yeah, good luck. You'll never be able to do that unless you work for the airlines or you could go fly a simulator. Why don't you just be happy with the simulator? So when we share these crazy goals and people go, you can't do that. That's never gonna happen.   Are you insane? Like, who do you think you are? That's my favorite one. I'm like, you don't even know who I am, right? Who do you think you are? You can't do that. I'm like, watch me. Watch me. Just watch. So for me, like that's fuel. For other people, it's so crushing. For other people, when people have this huge goal and they're like, ⁓ I'm so excited about this. I'm going to do this. And other people, nay, nay on that.   And they go, no, no, no, you can't do that. Let's keep you down here. Let's keep you small. I don't know. You're dreaming too big. Like that's not, it's not going to happen for you. Sometimes that feels really crushing and it takes the wind right out of your sails. And then you go, you know what? Maybe they're right. I shouldn't even try. Okay. So you can either use it as fuel. If you're somebody like me who likes to prove people wrong.   then that's great fuel. If that doesn't fuel you, then you need to be very selective with who you tell your goals to. So if you know that, I'm gonna say this thing in the first second that I get pushback or questions or doubt or people who are just fearful and not as confident as I am in my dream and in my belief, and that's gonna shake me and that's maybe not gonna help me.   pursue this goal that's going to deter me and bring me down and slow me down, yeah, then you need to be very selective with who you're sharing that goal with. And sometimes you have people around you that are really supportive and sometimes you don't. So the message in this is one, have the goals that just seem like...   They are impossible. Like Sarah, there is not a way to fly a Boeing unless you work at the airlines. And I laugh at it. When I see people personally, when I see people commenting like that, I go, ⁓ that is a cue to me. It tells me how small their vision is. Their thinking is limited. So. Yeah. It's kind of it's once you're on the other side of it.   Once it's like once you see something you can't unsee it. So once you're on the other side of that and now you hear somebody saying you can't do that. That's not possible. That's not realistic. That's never going to happen. That's not how things work. Who do you think you are? I can't believe you would even think something like that is possible. Is that a good idea? Right. All of those things. Then you start to go home. Well.   for someone like that, yeah, it would be impossible, but not for someone like me. So you need to decide, I can do the things that I want to do. And as soon as you make that decision, like flying a fighter jet, super cool. How much effort did we put into making that happen?   No, we made a phone call. We paid money. Yeah. He saw a billboard. We put on a jumpsuit. We climbed in the plane. That's it. He saw a billboard. And then we didn't try. didn't. And then I grabbed the little stick thingy. Oh, God. And then I just did it. The joystick. So we didn't try to hunt people down. We didn't try to find a place that we do it. We didn't do a bunch of research. We didn't spend a lot of time talking about it or researching it or.   trying to find people who know people. We didn't do anything. We saw a billboard. So sometimes when you have an unrealistic goal, it's okay if you don't know how it's going to happen because it very rarely happens the way that you think it's going to happen anyway. Because once you decide...   and once you're confident, once you're solid in that goal and you go, I am committed to doing this crazy thing and I don't care if people think that I'm crazy for wanting to do this thing, I'm going to make it happen. All of a sudden, doors start opening for you, phone calls start happening, connections start happening. Derek and I were just talking about this last week. It's the things that you can They don't know who Derek is. Derek Morton is one of our amazing clients who's taking over the state of Utah.   So it's very often the things that you would never expect, you would never plan, you would never be able to sit down and think in like, you know, your 150 step plan to get me from A to B, it wouldn't make the list because the things that will happen to you, they will just come to you. Things will just happen. The right opportunities will show up. The right people will show up. The right connections will show up.   Things will just start falling in place and happening for you, but it all stems on one thing, and that is your belief in your ability to do things that are seemingly unrealistic. There you go. Cool. All right. So I concur. I agree. Have impossible or have unrealistic goals. Why? Because when you shift into that level of thinking, no longer is it that yardstick. Now you're in playground.   Now you're in this fun space of like imagining, having vision, and it doesn't matter if you hit it or not. It just, it shifts you into a healthier space of thinking. And then you'll find new pathways. You'll find new ideas. You'll find ways to collapse time. ⁓ Ben Hardy calls it finding wormholes. You find these ways to get to the result in a much shorter period of time that takes way less steps. It's not as much work. He wrote a preceding book before that, that was called 10 X is easier than two X. And in that he's talking about how   It's actually easier to go bigger than to focus on smaller growth goals because smaller growth goals, there's a lot of different ways to do it and it's a lot of hard work, but there's very few ways to grow big quickly and it's usually less steps and less work. So a of people think, well, it's going to be so hard. It's actually easier if you do it right. So have some impossible goals. Okay. Anything else we need to add to this? One last thing is we have a...   Seemingly impossible goal right now a door grow that we are yet again Making a reality. It will be something that changes the entire property management industry forever and No one has done it. No one has done anything like it and it seems crazy it seems like Insane to even really   think about it. However...   We're gonna make it happen.

This week on The Sidebar Podcast, Leise Winny and Mr. Royce spiral from vacation energy to death, religion, cereal psychology, and modern relationships — because of course they do.After thanking recent guests, Royce recaps his vacation and explains why he might be too royal for Carnival. The conversation shifts into a Black History Month reflection — including the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson — and whether the reaper has been working overtime.From there, the episode gets loud. Uncle Luke for Congress? Country halftime shows? Brandy's national anthem performance? Is All-Star Weekend officially dead? Nothing is safe.The second half goes deeper: who's actually more emotional — men or women? Are we all just performing our lives for the internet? Is homeownership still the American dream? Why do modern relationships feel broken? And what does it mean when you keep picking “Froot Loops” instead of substance?It ends with an unexpected dive into Kellogg's history, religion, death, and why maybe — just maybe — we're all a little remedial when it comes to what we choose.Funny.

Send a textWhat if the story didn't end at the window? We sit down with director Debbie and cast members Sophie (Wendy), Evangeline, Jandy, and Gavin to explore Lost Girl, a daring, female-forward play that follows Wendy Darling's life after Neverland. Instead of chasing pixie dust, we trace the quiet shock of coming home: the disbelief of others, the ache of a promise never kept, and the courage it takes to reclaim a voice that was written off as a side note to Peter's legend.Debbie shares how playwright Kimberly Bellflower centers young women with nuance and grit, using a chorus labeled ABC to embody Wendy's inner thoughts and stitch time together through subtext. The cast breaks down how this device turns emotion into movement, letting us feel the pull between memory and growth. We talk modern themes—agency, closure, and healing—and why Wendy is neither invincible nor helpless. She's a person finding her footing after an untidy ending, which makes her deeply relatable.Design choices amplify the story rather than distract from it. A near-bare stage revolves around a single window and an aged nursery, symbols of waiting and stasis that contrast Wendy's slow, brave steps forward. Modular blocks and a small turntable ease shifts from the nursery to the city, while recurring sound motifs become the heartbeat of Wendy's journey. The team also reveals a smart collaboration with the upcoming Peter Pan Jr., creating visual continuity and a shared creative language across productions.Along the way, we celebrate the ensemble's craft: how young actors tackled layered subtext, how casting shaped chemistry, and how Slightly's gentle loyalty reframes what support looks like. If you care about contemporary theater, fresh adaptations, and stories where girls write their own endings, this conversation will hit home.Tickets for Lost Girl run February 27 through March 7.

This week I feel like a fried dumpling.Overcooked. Crispy on the outside. Slightly falling apart on the inside.In this episode of Down in the Dumplings, I'm sharing what the past week has really looked like: being sick, my parents being out of town, relational conflict (yes… lots of tears), getting a promotion (yay?!), surviving BTS ticketing stress, friendship calibration, and feeling wildly overstimulated while grappling with executive dysfunction and task paralysis.It's one of those “I don't fully have it together but I'm trying” weeks.And in true Down in the Dumplings fashion, I'm also sharing what's cheering me up — my newest hyper-fixation project: Cafe Courtney ☕️Inspired by Kristina's Sweet Beans and my lifelong dream of being a barista, I'm hosting a green-and-white tennis club aesthetic breakfast café moment to gather my friends in one place, feed them well, and create something beautiful.Menu highlights include:Hawaiian yogurt cups with pineapple, banana, coconut & blueberry lemon granolaMayak Gyeran rice bowls (soft marinated Korean eggs over brown/white rice mix)Scallion ginger butter sourdough toastMiso maple bacon & sausageBlack Sesame Einspanner (birthday special!)Strawberry oatmilk, barley tea, sparkling mint juleps & morePlus bead box favors, Chilsung Cider, Vitasoy, and the comfort of curated connection.If you've been feeling overstimulated, emotionally tender, ambitious but exhausted — this one's for you.Follow the show on Spotify so you never miss an episode, and come say hi on Instagram @downinthedumplings.Let's feel a little better together

This aviation podcast episode explores real pilot stories, flight safety lessons, and ATC coordination. We dive into the extreme demands of flying high-performance military aircraft like the SR-71 Blackbird.   SR-71 pilot stories don't get much better than this. On this episode of So There I Was, we sit down with BC Thomas. As the highest-time SR-71 Blackbird pilot in history, BC discusses Mach-3 flying and flight test insanity. He shares the kind of aviation decision-making that only happens at 80,000 feet while moving faster than a rifle round.   From WWII Inspiration to the Cold War Ready Room BC's journey began with early inspiration during WWII. His career spanned flying the KC-135, C-130, and F-104 before he eventually strapped into the legendary Blackbird. This episode offers a front-row seat to Cold War aviation history. We tell these SR-71 Blackbird test pilot stories the way they sounded in the ready room: honest, irreverent, and occasionally unbelievable.   BC explains what it takes to earn a seat in the Blackbird. The process requires months of systems training and intense blindfold cockpit checks. He describes a safety culture where experts dissect mistakes with surgical precision.   Surviving Mach-3 Unstarts and Hangar Mishaps In this interview, you'll hear about Mach-3 unstarts that try to swap ends with the airplane. BC also recounts his F-104 “zoom rocket” adventures and the intense pressure of test pilot school. These SR-71 Blackbird test pilot stories even cover why flying the world's fastest jet can leave you mildly disappointed when nobody shoots at you.   Surprisingly, BC's closest call didn’t happen at high altitude. It happened while he was sliding sideways across a hangar floor at a walking pace. He found himself pointed directly at a blast fence in a multi-million dollar jet.   Why You Should Listen to This Aviation Podcast If you enjoy SR-71 Blackbird test pilot stories, this episode is packed with aviation storytelling and pilot lessons. It delivers the kind of safety wisdom that only comes from flying the most demanding aircraft ever built. Listen in to hear how BC survived these high-stakes missions long enough to laugh about them. … #SR71 #blackbird #aviation

In the comments to last year's USAID post, Fabian said: While i am happy for the existence of charity organisations, i don't get why people instead of giving to charity are so eager to force their co-citizens to give. If one charity org is not worth getting your personal money, find another one which is. But don't use the tax machine to forcefully extract money for charity. There are purposes where you need the tax machine, preventing freerider induced tragedy of the commons. But for charity? There are no freeriders. If you neither give nor receive, you are just neutral. The receivers are not meant to give anyways. This is a good question. I'm more sympathetic to this argument than I am to the usual strategy of blatantly lying about the efficacy of USAID; I'm a sucker for virtuous libertarianism when applied consistently. But I also want to gently push back against this exact explanation as a causal story for what's happening when people support foreign aid. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/slightly-against-the-other-peoples

In celebration of The High Confectionary's new chocolate bar launch (!!), I'm sitting down with Sarah Fennel, founder of Broma Bakery and the baker extraordinaire who helped bring our new chocolate bars to life! Sarah is behind some of the internet's most beloved dessert recipes, but this conversation goes way beyond baking. She opens up about her complicated relationship with food growing up, how control and anxiety showed up for her as a teenager, and what recovery has actually looked like over time: not a neat "before and after", but as something layered and ongoing. She shares so openly about disordered eating, family instability, and how baking became not just a creative outlet, but a way back to joy. We get into the origin story of Broma Bakery, the food memories that shape us, and how she built a full career around dessert (and without cutting corners or stripping the pleasure out of it.) And of course, we talk about cannabis - evolving past party culture, using it intentionally, and discovering it as a tool to feel lighter, gigglier, more present, and more yourself. Plus, the BTS of creating The High Confectionary's new chocolate bars, the flavor development process, and why precise dosing changes everything - especially for women who want to enjoy without going overboard. This conversation is funny, honest, and joyful, a reminder that dessert and cannabis, at their best, are both about enjoyment, connection, and letting yourself feel good. We love you Sarah!

This week on Two Cents Gets Distracted, Scotland did the most Scottish thing imaginable.Lose to Italy… then immediately turn around and snap England's 12-game winning streak.Yes, the Scots beat the English. The rugby world rejoiced. Bagpipes were heard from space. We are, frankly, delighted.Meanwhile, Wales have somehow discovered new geological layers of rock bottom. France treated them like training cones, playing Harlem Globetrotters rugby with offloads, flair, and the kind of ominous swagger that should concern literally everyone.Italy vs Ireland? Suddenly… tight? Competitive? Slightly terrifying if you're Irish? Is this an Italian renaissance, or are we witnessing the slow fade of Ireland's golden generation? We attempt to answer that question with absolutely no qualifications whatsoever.Plus — Super Rugby is back! The Crusaders lost (we celebrate responsibly). The Blues also lost (less fun). Balance has been restored to the universe.All that, plenty of nonsense, and a decent helping of rugby chat.Grab a beer and enjoy

Under 8 weeks to go. Garmin reminders pinging daily. And Gabe Alves? Calm. Calculated. Slightly obsessed with vert… and now ketones

Nick's gone, the room is quiet, and somehow the show still starts. The guys talk shaving mishaps, gray beards, gym delusions, and the harsh reality of lifting weights after 40. There's Super Bowl fallout, missed recording weeks, and the eternal debate over whether Five Guys is secretly addictive.Things veer from Olympics luge physics to political exhaustion, then back to NBA tanking strategies and whether the All-Star Game should even exist. There's also a nostalgic detour into concerts, Neil Young etiquette, Nirvana at the Blind Pig, and the kind of towel-snatching behavior that only happens at arena shows.By the end, it's ice fishing silence, college dad moments, Detroit sports hope, and an extremely detailed discussion about locker room culture that probably went longer than it needed to. Slightly undercooked. Still delicious.Follow the Burt Selleck Podcast and the hosts here:Burt Selleck Podcast: https://linktr.ee/burtselleckpodYou can follow the hosts of The Burt Selleck Podcast here:Alex Bozinovic: https://linktr.ee/alexbozinovicJohn Mahar: https://www.instagram.com/_grandjuan_/Ian Radogost-Givens: https://www.instagram.com/ianrg313/Nick Kelley: https://www.instagram.com/nickkelleyyy/

Hollywood came to West Cork. Or at least Facebook said so. A film crew appears in Timoleague. The internet goes feral. Sightings multiply. Myth gains WiFi.Meanwhile, I'm on a pier wall waiting for sourdough to cool — because crust matters.A man with sunglasses sits beside me.Good posture. Slightly out of place.Very aware of the smell of bread.His stomach betrays him.I tear the loaf too early.“Breaking bad,” I mutter.He lifts the sunglasses.“Better breaking bad than breaking Brad.”And just like that —The most West Cork initiation ritual ever conceived begins.Yes. That Brad.What follows is a six-episode transformation experiment:• Butter churn initiation• Atlantic wind deconstruction• Céilí ego dissolution• Mart confusion• SuperValu democracy• And finally… the crowning of the Mayor of BallydehobEverything recorded.Nothing audible.Is this celebrity satire?Community ritual?Or just warm bread collapsing under its own mythology?The episode closes with a brand new Los Inorgánicos track: “Breaking Brad.”Because sometimes West Cork doesn't chase myth.It absorbs it.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBand"The Niles Bittersweet Song" WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

This week on **Remy's Roundtable**, the crew clocks in and buckles up. Remy is joined by Ryan, Doc, Mike, and Nicole… though Nicole had to dip out early like a rope drop dash to Guardians. The energy? Competitive. The vibes? Slightly sugared.Remy debuts a brand-new game on the show called **“Guess This Disney Character.”** Ten clues. No mercy. Mike and Ryan step into the trivia arena armed with confidence and questionable logic as Remy fires off hints one by one. Can they connect the dots before the final clue drops? Pride is absolutely on the line.The Roundtable also huddles up to talk about the Super Bowl. Did everyone watch? Who actually paid attention to the game versus the snacks? And who just showed up for the commercials? The debate gets lively.Over in **The Latest Theme Park Updates**, there's plenty to unpack:• *Frozen Ever After* at EPCOT has officially reopened, sending guests sailing back to Arendelle once more.• A brand-new **Monsters, Inc. popcorn bucket** has landed at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and yes, it's already turning heads and testing wallets.• Florida is rolling out a big change for new drivers, requiring the test to be passed in English only, sparking conversation across the state.For **Ride of the Week**, Remy takes us soaring high above the globe with **Soarin' Around the World at EPCOT**. From its history and build cost to guest popularity and why it remains a cornerstone attraction, Remy breaks down why this flight still holds altitude in the theme park world.And to wrap up the episode, it's time for **Mike's Munchies**, but with a twist. This week's destination was chosen by Remy himself: **Voodoo Doughnut at Universal CityWalk**. The crew dives into over-the-top toppings, wild flavor combinations, and whether these legendary donuts are truly worth the hype.It's trivia, touchdowns, theme park news, flight time, and frosting all in one packed episode. Grab your popcorn bucket, fasten your seatbelt, and press play.

This episode is raw. I am two months into therapy and questioning parts of my identity I have carried for years. Shredding one version of myself. Trying to consciously build the next. You can be successful. You can have the family. You can be disciplined and driven. Yet still feel slightly hollow. Slightly misaligned. Slightly unsure of who you actually are becoming. This is about that space. Inside this episode: • Why identity drift happens, especially to high performing men • The first anchor: values – what truly matters to you and whether you are actually living it • The second anchor: vision – if your life looks exactly the same in five years, how would that feel • The third anchor: voice – the narrative you repeat to yourself and how it shapes the man you become • Why success without alignment can still feel empty • How to start consciously rebuilding the next version of you There is no hype in this one. No performance. Just truth. If you have felt slightly off track lately… If you are achieving but not fulfilled… If you know there is another level of you waiting to be built… This will help you put structure to that feeling.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Sonja: Dr Cabral thank you so much for all of the wonderful education you have been sharing with us over the years to help us be healthier. My family and I greatly appreciate it along with so many others around the world! I am a 60 year old woman who was diagnosed with hemochromatosis about 2 and 1/2 years ago. Thanks to the minerals and metals test that I completed which raised a red flag on the iron level, I was able to get my doctor to do a ferritin blood test to find out that my level was at 725! Over the past couple of years, I have been working with a hematologist and getting therapeutic phlebotomies as needed. I eat clean, workout and have an overall healthy lifestyle with minimal alcohol consumption. I do a 7-Day Detox 3 to 4 times a year, daily DNS shake along with multiple Equilife supplements. My question to you is - if I was your aunt what protocols or recommendations would you have for me? I would love to reverse the diagnosis of hemochromatosis. In addition, what would be the ferritin range that you would recommend? My hematologist wants it as low as possible (around 30) however my energy is very low when it's at the levels that he desires. Thank you so much for everything that you do. Sonja      Peter: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for the great work you do and your books! I'm generally in good health and currently not on any medications. For the past 2–3 years I've been very consistent with lifestyle habits: clean diet, training 5–6x/week (3x strength, 2x cardio, 1x HIIT), no alcohol, consistent sleep schedule, sauna ~3x/week, and daily bowel movements. Despite this, I've experienced low libido for several years. It fluctuates, but I haven't been able to identify clear triggers or improvements. A few years ago, blood work showed elevated prolactin. My doctor prescribed Dostinex (dopamine agonist), which resolved libido symptoms effectively, but felt too strong. I'd prefer to identify and address the underlying cause rather than suppress symptoms. Recent blood work again shows elevated prolactin and elevated SHBG. Free testosterone is low. Blood sugar is within range but not optimal given my lifestyle. LDL is also elevated. Primary symptoms • Low libido (low initial drive, rare or absent morning erections) • Skin issues for ~1.5 years (none prior): – Redness on chin and temples, flaring after meals and after B-complex supplements – Small forehead bumps resembling acne that appear and disappear within a day Secondary symptoms • Slightly flat mood • Low muscle gain relative to training effort • Occasional cold hands • Frequent urination (including at night) • Low evening energy • Reduced interest in socializing I've tried various supplements over time but without a clear framework or plan. I'm hoping you could share your thoughts on possible root causes and what testing or protocol you would prioritize. Thank you for your work and guidance! Best, Peter     Michelle: Hi Stephen, I've experienced sensitivity to Equilife's Florafilm & another brand of proteolytic enzymes (nausea & vomiting). I have no allergies and have never experienced a negative reaction to a supplement. I am in overall good health and not on any medication and was wondering what might be causing such a reaction? I tried taking just one of the capsules instead of two on an empty stomach and experienced similar side effects. Is this product by chance enteric coated? I read that could help prevent side effects. Lastly is there a product you could recommend in its place to help remove biofilms so that the Para Support protocol will continue to be most effective? I found a product that contains Bismuth Subnitrate, Alpha lipoic Acid and Black Cumin (Priority One Biolm). Would it be ok to take this product in place of the Florafilm? I have been taking just one capsule of it with no side effects (product recommends 2 capsules 4 days a week) or is there a better solution as I do want to do some other Equilife protocols and noticed they also contain the Florafilm product. I love your Podcast and Equilife products and disappointed this one doesn't work for me. Thank you for all you do!      Larissa: Hello Dr Cabral. My 4yrs old son is allergic to dogs, I suspect the saliva. When he pets a dog nothing happens but when a dog licks him or his hands and he touches his face, that area gets red and swollen within minutes. Is this common? Is it possible this will go away? Is there a way to test him for this and more importantly treat him for this? I've heard of the NAET protocol, do you recommend this? Appreciate any advice!         Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3656 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Well listener, we're BACK from BED-STUY and we've got stories to tell. The Godling show was a BLAST, so many good friends and good fun chilling in the city all last weekend. We talk a little about the pieces, the venue, the community love that we felt from this event, and tackle some tough convos about what makes an artist with a capital A? On top of that Gage talks about priming inside a hotel room after learning the hack from BDCF, Steve's getting the next issue of Under the Dice wrapped up, and Terry cleans up his damn computer and makes it SLIGHTLY less slow.Big shout out to all those Scumbags that decided to join our Patreon, you are the reason we can keep on keeping on - thank you!Illegally park on a snowbank, and Bash the Planet!We have sick merch! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hive Scum Big Cartel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out Knucklebones Miniatures' (@knucklebones_miniatures) New Hive Scum Flagellants! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Knucklebones Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the In Rust We Trust discord here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IRWT Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you'd like to support us further, take a look at our Patreon!

Halle Berry from Betty Wellness is one of those strains that doesn't kick the door in right away. It takes its time, then quietly settles in and makes you realize you're smiling, relaxed, and way more comfortable than you expected.First thing you notice is the look. These nugs are straight purple. Not hints of purple. Not accents. Just deep, rich purple all the way through. One of the most visually striking Utah flowers we've seen, easily in the same conversation as Tropicana Cherries, but darker and more uniform.The flower leaned a little dry, likely storage or packaging related, but even with that, the smoke was surprisingly smooth. No harsh bite, no instant throat grab. Across a few different pieces, it stayed easy and clean.Terpene wise, this one is led by limonene, followed by linalool, beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, and humulene. Translation, this is not a panic strain. The experience came on slow and even, with light facial tingles, a relaxed jaw, and a very clear headspace.Genetically, Halle Berry is bred from Ice Cream Cake × Blockberry. You'll sometimes hear Blockberry casually called Blackberry, but the official Utah listing for Betty's cut specifies Blockberry. The genetics show up more in the overall vibe than in-your-face flavor.Flavor stays subtle. Slightly peppery, a little earthy, nothing loud or perfumey. This is not a strain that tries to impress your nose, it wins on how it feels.THC sits around 18 percent, which matters here. This strain doesn't rely on brute force. It's balanced, approachable, and forgiving. No racing heart. No anxiety spike. No couch lock either.As the session went on, it turned into a sneaky euphoric creeper. Floaty head, relaxed body, calm arms, and a general “everything's fine” feeling. There was even mild pain relief without the heaviness that usually comes with that territory.This is a strain we'd confidently hand to someone newer, someone sensitive, or someone who just wants to feel good without getting wrecked. It's also a solid anytime option if you want to stay functional but noticeably happier.Big win for Betty Wellness here. This ended up being our favorite Betty strain so far, not because it was loud, but because it was thoughtful.If you're looking for a happy, relaxed, clear-headed hybrid that doesn't demand attention but earns it anyway, Halle Berry is worth your time.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.Find everything in one place here:

The big things you need to know:First, reporting season stats have come in “slightly squishy” in our view, suggesting to us that the choppy price action in the S&P 500 of late has been about more than geopolitical concerns.Second, what we read in earnings call transcripts this past week continues to suggest that the macro backdrop is mixed, though we are not seeing any indications of major problems.Third, the thing that jumped out the most to us in our other updates was the slight downtick in optimism on the stock market outlook in the latest Conference Board consumer confidence survey.

Happy 2026, we're back! It's a new year, but instead of "new year, new me" I am going with "new year, slightly improved me." Mostly because I stopped caring... well, that's not true (but more on that in the podcast.) In this episode of Laugh Lines, we're easing back into the groove of things with medium energy, big feelings, and some good laughs. We talk about the emotional whiplash of having a college kid home and then watching them leave again, the surprisingly effective wake-up call of a dog throwing up before sunrise, and the bravery of brown-bagging a Diet Coke. (Still not sponsored... yet.)Clearly, we haven't done this in a while because we jumped all around. From Penn complimenting your husbands to talking about starting a space podcast to discussing how you want us to show up when we feel like the world isn't normal... this show has it all. (Really hoping for your feedback on that last one.) Shout out to Gerald for his amazing spreadsheet, and YOU for sticking with us all these years. We started this podcast in 2018... how crazy is that? (Prepare for a music treat in the show.) Welcome to 2026.
