Early in Lucanet's expansion, two Chinese employees working in Germany noticed something unusual. The consolidation software they worked with functioned so well that they believed it could succeed in their home market. Acting on that conviction, they traveled from Berlin back to China and built what would become Lucanet's Chinese business. The story illustrates how a tool designed for global complexity could travel easily across borders, Gurney tells us.Lucanet's origins are firmly rooted in Germany, where the company first built its reputation with a consolidation platform designed for companies operating across multiple jurisdictions. That design decision proved foundational. Because customers often consolidate entities across countries, the platform had to integrate financial data from different jurisdictions and support multiple accounting frameworks, Gurney tells us. The system can report under German GAAP, IFRS, or different management accounting rules and allows users to toggle between those views efficiently, he tells us.Today, the company's geographic reach reflects that original cross-border orientation. While Germany remains Lucanet's strongest market, the company now operates across Europe and Asia, including the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, China, and Singapore, Gurney tells us. Increasingly, a majority of new customer bookings come from outside Lucanet's historical DACH and Netherlands markets, he tells us.Growth has also been shaped by capital structure changes. After roughly eighteen years as a founder-run business, HG Capital made a majority investment in 2022, accelerating both product development and geographic expansion, Gurney tells us.For Gurney, who joined Lucanet at the start of May last year, the company's focus remains clear: build tools that make the Office of the CFO more effective across borders and systems, he tells us.

In this episode, Robin Merttens moderates a panel with Tessa Wardle of QBE, Emily Stanford of Gallagher and Jonathan Spry of Envelop Risk, recorded live at the InsTech London event Some lead, others follow: Smart underwriting and broking strategies for 2026.  As algorithmic underwriting and portfolio solutions reshape the London Market, insurers, brokers and reinsurers are rethinking how risk is placed, followed and managed at scale. Facilities are multiplying, digital trading models are emerging and data is becoming the foundation of increasingly automated underwriting decisions.  Drawing on perspectives from underwriting, broking and reinsurance, the panel explores what portfolio underwriting really looks like in practice today. They discuss how facilities are evolving, why broker strategies are changing and what it takes to run sustainable portfolio capacity in a market that is becoming more digital and more data-driven.   At the centre of the discussion is a growing tension between ambition and infrastructure. The market wants faster placement, smarter capital allocation and more algorithmic decision-making, yet many firms are still wrestling with fragmented data, legacy systems and inconsistent standards.  In this conversation, Tessa, Emily and Jonathan share:  Why portfolio solutions have become one of the fastest-growing models in the London Market  How brokers are evolving their placement strategies as facilities and pre-placed capacity expand  Why selecting the right portfolio leader is critical for long-term facility performance  How improving data quality is becoming a prerequisite for digital trading and algorithmic underwriting  Why incentives across brokers, carriers and reinsurers matter when it comes to better data  How AI is reshaping risk, creating new liability exposures and changing how insurers analyse emerging threats  Why capital providers are increasingly demanding greater transparency and portfolio insight If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Robin Merttens on LinkedIn.  Sign up to the InsTech newsletter for a fresh view on the world every Wednesday morning.

The digital evidence presented in the Kouri Richins trial doesn't need a plea deal or immunity agreement. It speaks on its own.Forensic analyst Chris Kotrodimos testified about data extracted from seven phones in this case. What he showed the jury was damning. Deleted meme thumbnails recovered from Kouri's phone—accessed moments after first responders left the home where Eric Richins lay dead—included one captioned "I'm really rich" and another showing a woman crying into cash.Between January and mid-March 2022, hundreds of messages, web searches, and call logs were scrubbed from Kouri's white iPhone. Eric's phone showed no mass deletions during the same period.The timeline around Eric's death raised immediate questions. Kouri's phone was unlocked multiple times at 3:06 a.m. the night he died. She didn't call 911 until 3:21. What happened in those fifteen minutes?Google searches recovered from Kouri's replacement phone included how to wipe an iPhone remotely, whether police can force lie detector tests, luxury prison information, and life insurance payout timelines. Cell tower data showed phones belonging to the alleged drug supplier and middleman meeting at the same Draper gas station on the three exact dates prosecutors say fentanyl was purchased—and nowhere else.Valentine's Day data presented a split screen: Kouri texting her alleged boyfriend "I love you" while Eric texted her saying he was sick. That's the day prosecutors allege she attempted to poison him with fentanyl. Former Chief Medical Examiner Erik Christensen testified Eric was given fentanyl by someone else.The psychological question underlying this case—how did Eric miss the signs?—has answers in documented research on coercive control and love bombing. Smart people don't see it coming because they're targeted precisely for their trust.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Bridget of York, youngest daughter of Edward IV, chose a life at Dartford Priory over marriage to a Scottish prince, most people assume she had no better options. They're wrong. The Tudor convent wasn't a consolation prize. It was the only institution in England that offered women real governance experience, education, community, and a life that didn't depend on surviving childbirth or a husband's political fortunes. Abbesses ran estates and managed finances.Nuns elected their own leaders based on merit. When Cromwell's commissioners showed up before the dissolution and asked every single nun if she wanted to leave, virtually none said yes. Then Henry VIII closed all of it down. Over 800 houses, gone in four years. And for women, it wasn't just a religious change. It was the elimination of the only exit option they had. Today we're talking about what the convent actually was, who chose it and why, and what it meant when it disappeared. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What did Adam and Chris get right about retail in 2024?Back in 2024, Chris Ressa sat down with DLC CEO Adam Ifshin in Las Vegas ahead of ICSC to talk about a retail market that was already showing unusual strength. Looking back from 2026, that conversation reads less like commentary and more like an early signal of where open-air retail was headed.At the time, Adam laid out a clear case: open-air retail fundamentals were outperforming the broader narrative. Traffic, sales, occupancy, and rent had all moved above pre-pandemic levels, even while capital markets remained strained. That disconnect was the core tension then, and it remains one of the most important dynamics to understand now.What stands out even more in hindsight is how early DLC was in identifying the structural forces behind that strength. Chris and Adam discussed years of underbuilding, limited new supply, rising construction costs, and the steady removal of retail space for other uses like apartments, healthcare, and self-storage. In 2026, those pressures have not disappeared. If anything, they have become harder to ignore.The conversation also reinforced two themes that have continued to shape the market: the durability of value retail and the strength of suburban, secondary, and exurban demand. Long before those ideas became consensus views, DLC was investing around them. Looking back, the logic still holds. Consumers continue to prioritize value, retailers continue to chase the right space, and owners continue to operate in a market where quality supply is limited.This conversation matters now because it captures a moment when disciplined operators were already seeing what others were still debating. For retail real estate professionals, investors, and retailers trying to understand how we got here, this is a sharp look at the thinking that helped define the last two years of the market.What You'll HearOpen-air retail fundamentals are still too good to ignore - How traffic, sales, occupancy, and rent have all moved past pre-pandemic highs, reinforcing the strength of the sector.Capital markets diverged from fundamentals - How rising interest rates and tighter credit created volatility in financing even while retail performance strengthened.Strong fundamentals matter more than cheap capital - Why disciplined operators prefer a market with solid demand and constrained capital rather than easy money and weak assets.Supply constraints are reshaping retail - How 15 years of underbuilding, rising construction costs, and redevelopment have reduced available retail space.Value is always in fashion - How retailers like Walmart, TJX, and other value-focused brands continue to win with consumers across income levels.Suburban and secondary markets are gaining momentum - How migration, affordability, and remote work have pushed growth beyond major urban centers.Retailers are expanding into smaller markets - How shifting demographics and income growth have opened new opportunities for national tenants.Smart retailers move early on space - How limited supply is pushing tenants to secure locations now before rents climb further.Chapters00:00 — Live from Las Vegas, before the market fully caught upChris opens the conversation with Adam Ifshin from ICSC week in Vegas.01:55 — Why DLC published “Too good to ignore”Adam explains the thinking behind DLC's 2024 white paper and why the timing mattered.02:35 — The fundamentals were already telling a different storyTraffic, sales, occupancy, and rent had all pushed past pre-pandemic highs.04:45 — The big disconnect: strong assets, stressed capital marketsAdam breaks down why financing conditions were not reflecting what operators were seeing on the ground.08:57 — Why strong fundamentals beat cheap capitalChris asks which environment matters more, and Adam makes the case for discipline over easy money.12:05 — Could outside capital really move into retail?They discuss whether groups from other asset classes could compete in open-air retail.15:34 — Rates, cap rates, and timing the marketAdam explains why buying into strong fundamentals matters more than waiting for perfect conditions.17:41 — What constrained supply really meant long termChris and Adam talk through the deeper implications of limited space and rising retailer demand.20:54 — Why new development was still far from a real answerAdam outlines why replacement cost and labor constraints were holding back new retail construction.25:50 — Why value retail was never just a trendAdam explains why value has always been central to DLC's view of the consumer.31:54 — The consumer story behind the retail storyAdam makes the connection between consumer health, policy, and retail real estate performance.33:43 — Why suburban and smaller markets were gaining strengthDemographic shifts, remote work, and affordability made these markets more compelling.42:52 — What smart retailers were expected to do nextAdam lays out why decisive tenants would move early as the supply-demand imbalance continued.

In this episode, Dr. Lisa Oldson breaks down a newly published randomized controlled trial that challenges the "eat less, move more" approach to weight loss once and for all.Dr. Oldson shares what she observed early in her career about why calorie restriction alone almost never leads to lasting results, and what the science actually says about sustainable weight loss.

  Where in the world am I? In San Diego today.   Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, coming to you from a recent trip to South Korea, now sharing my best travel ideas. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world.   Listener Story Spotlight   A friend and a listener named Lois recently went to Hawaii. She told me about how she spent a lot of time getting travel insurance for herself and her partner. She had to pay more than she expected as her partner was having a birthday between the day she bought the service and the day of the trip. But she said it was well worth it for her peace of mind.   Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: Where to find the best travel insurance for a long trip abroad.   1. Start with a neutral comparison engine and you can see this in the shownotes. Why use it first? Where to click Smart filters to enable Lets you price 30-day single-trip plans from dozens of underwriters side-by-side, then click through to the policy certificate in one step. Squaremouth (toggle "Comprehensive" or "Medical-only" to see apples-to-apples pricing). Squaremouth Travel Insurance Medical ≥ $100k, Evac ≥ $250k, "Cancel for Any Reason" if you want maximum flexibility. Gives you consumer-written claim reviews plus AM Best financial ratings right in the results grid. InsureMyTrip (same data feed as Squaremouth but different sort logic). Add "Pre-existing condition waiver" if relevant; check "Adventure sports" if you'll hike or dive. Pulls quotes from some insurers that don't feed aggregators (e.g., Allianz's higher-tier plans) and lists A.M. Best scores. TravelInsurance.com Use the "24/7 assistance" toggle; you'll see which plans outsource help lines. Skeptical check: All three make a commission; none of them has every carrier. Run your trip through at least two engines and see if the so-called "cheapest" plan really is. 2. Cross-reference with an independent ranking list ●      U.S. News "Best Travel Insurance Companies 2025" ranks plans by coverage and claim-paying history—not advertising spend. It's a fast way to see which names (Travelex, Allianz, Tin Leg, etc.) consistently show up in the top tier. U.S. News 3. See what other solo women say ●      SoloTravelerWorld.com keeps an updated "Best Travel Insurance for Solo Travelers" guide that spells out what to look for if you're traveling alone—single-supplement benefits, harassment coverage, and 24-hour crisis lines. Solo Traveler ●      AbsolutelyLucy.com lays out five red flags that matter disproportionately to women (e.g., personal-assault medical limits, emergency contraception exclusions). Absolutely Lucy Read these before you fall for glossy Instagram ads that treat "female-friendly" as a slogan. 4. Kick the tires on the insurer's own site If a plan looks good in a marketplace, open the policy certificate directly on the carrier's website (World Nomads, SafetyWing, Allianz, IMG, etc.). World Nomads publishes unfiltered claim reviews—useful for sniffing out chronic payout delays. World Nomads 5. Verify what your government will—or won't—do The U.S. State Department's Insurance Coverage Overseas page makes it crystal-clear that Uncle Sam does not pay your hospital bill or med-evac. It also links to the embassy medical resources for every country, which tells you how far the nearest trauma center is from your trekking trail. Travel.gov 6. Double-check your credit-card benefits Cards in your wallet may cover trip delay, baggage loss, or secondary car rental insurance. The Points Guy keeps a running tally of cards whose built-in coverage is worth something—and where the gaps are (e.g., no medical evacuation). How to use these resources efficiently Quote your exact dates (don't round your trip to a calendar month; excess days add cost). Filter for medical & evac first; those are the two benefits that can bankrupt you. Ignore marketing buzzwords like "explorer" or "adventure" until you've opened the PDF certificate and searched for the activity you actually plan to do. Run your final-four shortlist past recent claim reviews (Squaremouth, Trustpilot, Reddit r/solotravel) to see if the carrier ghosted people during COVID or the Israel–Gaza cancellations. Purchase directly from the insurer once you've chosen—that avoids aggregator change-fees if you need to modify dates. Stay curious, question every "Top 10" list's methodology, and you'll land the coverage that fits your risk profile—nothing more, nothing less.     60 second confidence challenge   3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select walkable neighborhoods with public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you. To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either.     If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my book dives deeper—link in description."   See Book A for addressing all of these items. Find it on the website: 5 steps to solo travel.com or on Amazon. It's a series.   Destination Deep‑Dive Today's destination is:       South Korea   I visited South Korea last year and am going back this month.  I landed at Seoul's Inchon Airport. My Korean pronunciation is not good, so please bear with me as I describe my trip. I was excited to see the city through my friend Chris's eyes. We were whisked away to a hotpot dinner, then taken to the French neighborhood in Seoul, where we rested overnight. The next morning, we drove south to visit a town about 2 hours away and stayed in Wolbong-ro (Road), in Seobuk-gu, near SeongJeong.   South Korea is about the same size as the US state of Virginia, or compared to the size of the country of Hungary. If you look at the size of the entire peninsula, you would say it's the same size as Minnesota or the country of Great Britain.   I was only there for four days, but during this time, I was able to see a lot of Seoul and explore some places to share with you.   For example, the Seoul Noryangin Fisheries Wholesale Market is five stories tall and open to the public. It's worth seeing if you like seafood, and you can roam the aisles looking for your favorite fish delicacies.   I visited the Vovo Bidet company and met with the director and some of his team. Have you seen the #1 Bidet firm in Korea? They have retail and wholesale offices in the Los Angeles area as well. I liked the tour of the offices here in Seoul. They even have a Bidet to go. Think about that for a minute. That was in Daebang-dong or Seocho4-dong.   I visited retail stores such as Zara, one of my favorite fashion stores. I had Chinese, Japanese, and Fusion foods. I took subways, buses, taxis, and Ubers, plus trains. I went to Gwannghumun Square, the purple Station #9.   I went to the shopping mall called The Hyundai, and found stores like Zanmang Loopy, the Hyundai Present, and a great coffee and tea shop.   I learned about Hanguel, the Korean alphabet, and saw the statue of Sejong the Great. There was also another statue of Admiral YiSun Sin. The Bukchon Honok Village is a quiet residential area. Jogyasa Temple is where you will see Buddhism. Hongdae is the neighborhood for independent artists.   Yonsei University was a place I wanted to visit next time, as I was in the neighborhood and liked it a lot. Gangnam style, well, maybe next time. I tried new foods, such as mung bean pancakes and hotteok dessert. We had a wonderful dinner at Sushi-ya Shabu-ya, about an hour from Seoul, near Korea Nazarene University in Cheonan-si-Buldang1-dong.   Recommended: Relax in a tea house.     Smart Move and Slip-up pairings We arrived in     In Korea, we were unable to enter the building because we had insufficient funds on our transit cards. Instead, we had to see the office at the kiosk and pay for the train. It was not much, but it did take a few minutes. We arrived well ahead of the recommended 3 hours, so that was not an issue.     60-second confidence challenge   Do you or don't you tip? Not in South Korea. But it's always smart to ask. Be confident when you know the expectations.   Resources Roundup   If you are looking for more solo female travel resources, you can find several tips and ways to navigate the pitfalls, such as paying the difference on the transit card when traveling long distances or knowing when to tip.   Take away mantra and goodbye.   When you get lost, don't get upset. Get found. You will be better off if you cool your brain down instead of heating it incorrectly. Chill, and you'll be found sooner. Dr. Travelbest's tip #760.   Thanks for listening.

  Aging in Place: Safety, Technology, & Dignity w/ Drew Siefried of TruBlue Ally - AZ TRT S07 EP04 (286) 3-1-2026       Things We Learned This Week ·         America is aging rapidly - By 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be over 65. ·         Most seniors want to stay in their homes - More than 80% of older adults prefer aging in place rather than moving to assisted living. ·         Technology is transforming senior safety - Non-intrusive monitoring systems can detect falls and alert families without cameras or wearables. ·         One fall can change everything - Falls are one of the leading causes of injury and loss of independence among seniors. ·         Prevention is far cheaper than crisis care - Simple home safety upgrades can prevent accidents and help seniors maintain independence longer.     Guest: Drew Seifried LKIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewseifried/ Company: TruBlue Home Service Ally Website: https://www.trublueally.com/east-phoenix-north-scottsdale   With over 25 years of combined corporate and entrepreneurial experience, I currently own and operate TruBlue Home Service Ally, where we support seniors and busy families with home modifications and handyman services. In this role, we prioritize safety, reliability, and exceptional service, ensuring all personnel meet high professional standards. As a Certified Franchise Executive, I also guide aspiring entrepreneurs, including corporate professionals, first responders, and military veterans, toward business ownership through franchising. Leveraging expertise in franchise agreements and processes, I simplify the path to ownership, aligning opportunities with individual goals. My mission is to empower others to achieve their aspirations through purpose-driven ventures.   TruBlue Home Service Ally® provides a unique and affordable approach to helping busy adults and seniors live a worry-free life by offering trustworthy handyman, home maintenance and senior modification services. Helping you maintain your home both inside and out, TruBlue's services include: handyman projects and to-do list chores, preventative home maintenance programs, seasonal work, and senior modification services, all handled by a professional, bonded and insured Tru-Pro® Technician. Episode Overview America is entering a major demographic shift. By 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be over the age of 65, creating what many experts call the "Silver Tsunami." Families across the country will face new challenges as aging parents want to maintain independence while staying safe at home. But aging at home safely requires planning. In this episode, we sit down with Drew Seifried of TruBlue Home Service Ally to discuss how home safety modifications, emerging Age Tech, and non-intrusive monitoring technologies are helping seniors stay independent longer — while providing peace of mind for their families. We also explore the unique needs of veterans and individuals with disabilities, and how communities and organizations can better support them.   Segment 1: Aging in Place & The Silver Tsunami Drew Seifried owns three territories with TruBlue, a national franchise focused on helping people safely remain in their homes. The company works primarily with: ·         Seniors and aging adults ·         People with disabilities ·         Veterans ·         Adult children caring for aging parents Their mission is simple: help people live independently and safely at home. The Growing Senior Population America is rapidly aging. Key statistics: ·         61 million Americans are age 65+ ·         By 2030, about 20% of the population will be seniors ·         Phoenix and other Sun Belt cities are seeing rapid senior population growth as retirees relocate This demographic shift will place new pressure on: ·         Healthcare systems ·         Caregiver workforce ·         Family members caring for aging parents The Hidden Risk: Falls in the Home One of the biggest threats to senior independence is falling. Key statistics: ·         1 in 4 adults age 65+ falls each year ·         Falls cause over 3 million emergency room visits annually ·         More than 300,000 seniors are hospitalized each year for hip fractures ·         Over 50% of falls occur inside the home In many cases, one fall can change everything. A serious fall can lead to: ·         Hospitalization ·         Loss of mobility ·         Long-term disability ·         Moving into assisted living The Most Dangerous Areas in a Home According to home safety experts, the highest risk areas include: ·         Bathrooms (tubs and showers) ·         Entryways and stairs ·         Poor lighting ·         Cluttered hallways or walkways Even small modifications can dramatically reduce fall risk. Preventing Falls Before They Happen TruBlue helps families install preventative safety upgrades such as: ·         Bathroom grab bars ·         Non-slip shower treatments ·         Improved lighting ·         Handrails and stair supports ·         Walkway hazard removal The company also performs full home safety assessments to identify hidden risks. As Drew explains, the goal is prevention — because once a fall happens, recovery can be much more difficult. Aging at Home vs Assisted Living Another major challenge families face is cost. Average assisted living costs in the U.S.: ·         $5,000–$6,000 per month ·         Often $60,000–$70,000 per year By comparison, many safety upgrades or in-home services cost a fraction of that. And most seniors prefer to stay home. Surveys show: ·         84% of seniors want to age in place ·         Independence and familiarity with their home environment matter deeply Segment 2: Age Tech & Smart Monitoring One challenge facing families is the shrinking caregiver workforce. With fewer caregivers available, technology is stepping in to help monitor safety. Adult children want peace of mind that their parents are safe — especially when they live in another city. But many seniors dislike traditional monitoring systems. Common concerns include: ·         Cameras in the home ·         Wearable emergency devices ·         Privacy issues ·         Technology complexity A New Approach: Radar-Based Monitoring A newer technology solution is radar-based monitoring systems like those from Pontosense. These systems use small radar sensors placed throughout the home. They can detect: ·         Falls ·         Movement patterns ·         Breathing and vital signals Unlike cameras, they are completely non-intrusive. Features include: ·         No cameras ·         No wearable devices ·         No audio recording ·         No stored video data The system can detect unusual events and send alerts. Smart Alerts for Families If a fall occurs, the system can: ·         Wait about 90 seconds to see if someone gets up (reducing false alerts) ·         Send notifications to family members ·         Contact caregivers ·         Alert emergency services if necessary Family members can also monitor activity patterns through a mobile app. For adult children balancing careers, families, and aging parents, this technology provides peace of mind without invading privacy. Segment 3: Disability Services & Veteran Support TruBlue also works with individuals living with disabilities and veterans who require specialized home modifications. Organizations supporting the disability community include: ·         Ability360 ·         Benevilla These groups offer programs ranging from adaptive sports to community support services. Health Challenges as We Age Many older adults face conditions that impact mobility or independence. These can include: ·         Arthritis ·         Balance issues ·         Progressive neurological diseases like ALS or MS ·         Reduced strength and coordination Simple tasks — getting into a bathtub, climbing stairs, or reaching shelves — can become difficult. Home modifications can restore independence. Importantly, these upgrades can be designed to blend into the home aesthetically, preserving both function and dignity. Supporting Veterans Veterans represent another group that often needs home safety support. Key statistics: ·         Approximately 17 million veterans live in the United States ·         Nearly 8 million veterans are age 65 or older Despite available programs, many veterans do not utilize assistance. Organizations working to support veterans include: ·         Paralyzed Veterans of America ·         Veterans of Foreign Wars ·         Elks Lodge Drew himself served in the military and is passionate about helping veterans access services and resources. Additional Home Safety Monitoring Beyond fall prevention, modern smart homes can also monitor: ·         Smoke and fire detection ·         Water leaks and flooding ·         Utility failures ·         Entry and exit activity These systems help families create a safer living environment for aging loved ones.   Final Takeaway Aging doesn't have to mean losing independence. With the right combination of: ·         Home safety modifications ·         Smart technology ·         Community resources ·         Family planning Millions of seniors can live longer, safer, and more confidently in their own homes.       'Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

What if the real bulking battle isn't in the gym but on your plate? We sit down with Quincy, a straight-talking bodybuilding coach, to tackle the one problem almost no one expects when they decide to “get big”: actually finishing the food. From dry chicken horror stories to smart cooking tweaks that make every bite easier, we get practical about palatability, moisture, and flavor so your meals help you grow instead of stopping you cold.Quincy lays out a simple framework to expand appetite without wrecking your day. We rethink meal timing by moving the heaviest, highest fiber dish to night, front-loading lighter meals, and spacing feedings so you don't fall behind. We talk through macro traps—like pushing protein so high you kill hunger—and explain how carbs and fats support gym performance and make eating feel doable. You'll hear why “boy kibble” (rice and beef) can be economical and macro-friendly but micronutrient-poor, and how sauces, air fryers, and better reheating turn “drywall” into dinner.On training, we make a compelling case for low-volume, high-intent work: fewer sets, tighter form, targeted pauses, and real intensity. Mike shares how 50 focused minutes left him more sore and satisfied than his old marathon sessions. Quincy contrasts flexible dieting with whole-food meal plans for hypertrophy, noting digestion, micronutrients, and performance as the deciding factors. We set clear expectations for progress—think one to two pounds of lean tissue per month early on, not miracle jumps—and touch on peptides and shortcuts with caution, humor, and a reminder to prioritize health.If you've ever thought, “I just can't get the food down,” this conversation gives you a plan: cook tastier, time smarter, train tighter, and be patient enough to let consistent habits add up. Subscribe, share with a friend who's bulking, and leave a review with the one habit you're changing this week.

Defending Champion Hurdle winning trainer Jeremy Scott joins Emmet Kennedy as the remarkable Golden Ace prepares to return to the Cheltenham Festival in a bid to defend her crown. Scott reflects on Golden Ace's dramatic victory last year, charting the journey from a small Exmoor yard to the summit of National Hunt racing. He explains why he believes the mare arrives at Cheltenham in even better shape this time around and how her preparation has gone ahead of the Festival. The conversation also explores the key rivals in what promises to be a wide-open Champion Hurdle and what it would mean to join the elite group of horses who have managed to win the race more than once. Jeremy also shares two handicappers he believes are worth following at the Festival, offering valuable insight for punters searching for an edge during Cheltenham week.

With the Cheltenham Festival just around the corner, we take a different approach to the formbook by diving into RaceiQ data with Racing TV analyst Page Fuller. RaceiQ uses GPS tracking technology to measure performance metrics such as jumping efficiency, stride length, entry speed into obstacles, and finishing sectionals, offering a completely different perspective on how horses perform in top-level races. Page joins Emmet Kennedy to analyse the key metrics behind the leading contenders for the biggest races at Cheltenham, highlighting the performances that stand out in the data and identifying the horses whose numbers suggest they could have a major impact at the Festival. Page has produced Racing TV's Cheltenham Festival RaceiQ data pack covering all 13 Grade 1 races. The aim isn't tipping winners, but identifying the performances and metrics that stand out in the data and understanding what they may tell us about how these races could unfold.

Shaped by a childhood of resourcefulness and grit, Barry Bradham's story moves beyond your usual rags-to-riches narrative. Raised in a family where money was often scarce, his parents displayed both strong work ethics and unconventional life choices. Barry started honing his sales skills at just eight years old; he was trading toys and selling bubblegum and baseball cards from a table on the corner. These formative experiences not only instilled the value of integrity but also introduced him early to both the highs of self-sufficiency and the lessons that come when the money in play isn't as innocent as it first appears.From those humble beginnings, Barry followed an untraditional but ambitious route, blending work ethic with curiosity. His adolescence and entry into adulthood were marked by a succession of odd jobs, guided mentorship from community figures, and a constant drive to improve his financial footing. It was this drive, combined with the influence of books like "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and real-life examples of side hustles and entrepreneurship, that sustained his hunger for financial autonomy. But it was also a journey fueled by necessity and wanting a sense of control over his life that he didn't always see modeled at home.In college, Barry took those scrappy entrepreneurial skills to the next level, helping launch new student organizations and eventually moving into a career in banking and real estate. By outward appearances, things looked, well, fine.He had an expanding portfolio, social credibility, and an impressive track record managing both businesses and teams. And yet, beneath the surface, Barry was making decisions in isolation, he no longer had the mentorship and strategic counsel that are vital when navigating high stakes. This was his first “fine but not fine” phase.It all came to a head during the economic downturn, when his calculated risks unraveled. He lost properties, financial security, his fiancée, and his sense of direction. And still, he kept the front up. Smiling. Positive. “I've got this.”But as often happens, those lowest moments became catalyzing ones. One day he was on a bus in the rain in Manhattan Beach, whispering to his sister through the phone that he felt like he was living out the movie The Pursuit of Happyness in real time.He was determined not to stay in that place though. He taught himself graphic design and studied Adobe programs late into the night. Slept on his office floor when he had to. Sold his car. Kept showing up to meetings with a belief that he could still create value.Barry credits his resurgence to humility, learning to ask for help, and embracing community instead of going it alone. His second “fine” season taught him something even bigger. And that story? Tune in to hear him tell it.Resources: Website: https://digilink.global/barrybradham-entrepreneur LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrybradham/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/barrybradham Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/barrybradham_entrepreneur/ Hype Song: Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines ft.

Smart leaders know trust is the backbone of a thriving workplace, and in today's hybrid whirlwind, it doesn't grow from quarterly updates or the occasional Slack ping. It grows from steady, human communication.Plenty of companies think they're doing great because they host all-staff meetings, keep “open door” policies, and throw the occasional team-building event. Meanwhile, leaders who truly care about culture are choosing better tools.That's where I come in. Forward-thinking organizations bring me in to create internal podcasts that connect people through real stories, honest conversations, and genuine community—your old printed newsletter reinvented for the way people actually work now.If you run, work for, or know a company ready to upgrade communication and strengthen culture, reach out at Lori@ZenRabbit dot com.Because when people feel heard, they engage. When they engage, they perform. And when they perform, the business succeeds beyond projections.

For years, price per square foot was the headline number. It was clean, comparable, and easy to communicate. But this market is demanding a more sophisticated lens. Carrying costs are no longer background noise; they are central to valuation, liquidity and risk. Buyers are underwriting monthly burn with the same intensity they once reserved for purchase price.    Smart buyers are analyzing the total cost of ownership over time. Smart sellers understand that elevated monthlies shrink the buyer pool. And smart brokers are reframing value  through the lens of long-term sustainability, not just headline pricing.   Filmed as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.   Guests: Ben Willig Anna Kahn Jill Preschel   Sponsor: Roadway Moving and Storage — Full-service moving and storage company | https://www.roadwaymoving.com Subscribe to Talking New York Real Estate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-new-york-real-estate-with-vince-rocco/id1645541166 Connect with Vince Rocco: https://www.bhsusa.com/real-estate-agent/vince-rocco Brown Harris Stevens is one of the largest privately owned real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 40 offices across four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida. https://bhsusa.com/

Buying a business isn't just about finding the right opportunity. It's about structuring the deal in a way that works for everyone involved. In this week's episode of Business Buying Strategies, Jonathan hands the microphone to his dealmaking partner Martin, who shares insights from a live webinar with Dealmakers clients. Martin has been directly involved in hundreds of acquisitions and is currently negotiating multiple deals himself. In this session he explains how real deals are structured, how negotiations actually unfold, and what funding strategies are working in today's market.  This episode is packed with practical advice drawn from real negotiations happening right now. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why negotiation skills matter more than clever deal structures Many new dealmakers become fascinated by complex deal structures. But Martin explains that the structure itself is rarely the difficult part. The real skill lies in negotiating terms that work for both sides. Successful negotiators focus on three outcomes: • Getting the business cheaper • Getting better payment terms • Getting more value for the same price When you negotiate with these principles in mind, both sides feel they've achieved a good outcome. Why deal structure can change a business's value dramatically One of the most striking insights from the episode is how the same business can be valued very differently depending on the deal structure. Martin shares a real example where four potential deal structures valued the same business between £1.2 million and £3 million. Nothing about the business itself changed. Only the structure of the deal. Ironically, the structure with the highest valuation turned out to be the best deal for the buyer because it produced significantly stronger annual cashflow. It's a powerful reminder that: Price alone never tells the full story. Why preparation matters – but expecting the unexpected matters more Many first-time buyers believe they need to be perfectly prepared before approaching a seller. Martin explains why this mindset can hold you back. In real negotiations, unexpected moments happen constantly. He shares a story about visiting a potential acquisition target and discovering—mid-conversation—that the seller spoke Danish, which unexpectedly became a useful rapport-building moment. The lesson? You cannot prepare for every possible outcome. But you can stay flexible and genuine. The difference between objections and buying questions A key negotiation skill is recognising the difference between: An objection and A buying question Often when sellers raise concerns, they are not rejecting the deal. They are simply participating in the buying process. For example, when a seller asks: "How do I know you'll actually pay me the deferred payments in the future?" This is usually a buying question rather than resistance. Martin explains how to respond by: • Sharing your long-term vision for the business • Explaining why reputation matters for future acquisitions • Highlighting legal protections within the deal Handled correctly, these moments can build trust rather than derail negotiations. The most common funding options used in acquisitions Funding a deal doesn't always require traditional bank loans. Martin outlines several financing options frequently used in acquisitions:   Invoice Finance One of the easiest and most flexible funding sources, especially for B2B businesses. Asset Finance Funding secured against equipment, machinery or vehicles within the business. Bridging Finance Often used when property assets are involved. Cashflow Lending Possible but generally riskier because it relies solely on the borrower's ability to repay. Interestingly, Martin's preference is often no external finance at all, using seller-funded structures instead. These can dramatically reduce risk for the buyer. The danger of majority share purchases Another important insight relates to buying majority stakes instead of full ownership. Martin warns that shared ownership can lead to serious problems if the relationship between directors breaks down. Whenever possible, buying 100% of the business is usually the cleaner and safer option. If a minority stake remains, it's essential to agree upfront how future exits will be handled. How to handle seller concerns about deferred payments One of the most common objections sellers raise is concern about receiving payments years into the future. Martin explains how to reassure sellers by emphasising: • Your long-term strategy for the business • The reputational damage of failing to honour agreements • Legal protections within the share purchase agreement • The mutual incentives to make the business succeed When positioned correctly, deferred payments become a shared success model, not a risk. Key Takeaway The biggest misconception about buying businesses is that deals depend on complicated financial engineering. In reality, successful acquisitions come down to three things: • Strong negotiation skills • Smart deal structures • Clear alignment between buyer and seller Master these, and opportunities open up quickly. If you want to understand how real deals are negotiated and funded in today's market, this episode is essential listening.

The Giants kept their first-round-plus package by not matching the Rams' price for Trent McDuffie, but they may have sacrificed a rare chance to land an elite corner who could change the secondary immediately. Was that smart discipline in a rebuild, or a costly miss that could backfire if the defense still lacks a true difference-maker? And if New York was serious enough to get that close, why stop short at the finish line?Follow us on Spotify so you don't miss the next episode, and if you listen on Apple Podcasts, please leave a 5-star rating and review. That support helps the show grow.Drew and Rob spend most of this episode breaking down what the McDuffie near-trade really says about the Giants. They get into the Rams' aggressive package, why New York was never likely to match that exact haul, what the Giants may have been willing to put on the table instead, and whether this was actually a smart restraint move or the wrong bet when premium corners are this hard to find. The bigger question hanging over the whole discussion is simple: should Giants fans feel encouraged that the team is finally swinging big, or frustrated that they got this close and still came away empty?The rest of the show builds off that same tension. Bobby Okereke is officially gone, linebacker trade buzz is heating up, Devin Singletary is expected to be cut, Micah McFadden is reportedly eyeing a prove-it deal, and the Giants keep getting tied to names like Kenneth Walker, Mike Evans, and Tyler Linderbaum. Add in the West Virginia training camp plan, the Mike Nobler hire, Abdul Carter teasing another number change, and Mike Francesa blasting Joe Schoen's standing inside the organization, and the full picture comes into focus fast: the Giants look aggressive, but are they being aggressive in the right places?This is the audio from yesterday morning's live show.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send a textSupport the show

She was raised inside what was framed as a sexually liberated utopia. And it took years for her to recognize it for what it was: a sex cult.In this unsettling and deeply thoughtful episode of Holly Randall Unfiltered, Inka Winter shares what it was like to grow up inside a radical art collective that erased boundaries, blurred consent, and normalized control under the banner of free love.Inka breaks down how cult logic shaped her understanding of sex, power, and autonomy, and how those early experiences eventually led her to become an erotic filmmaker, sex educator, and founder of a feminist production company centered on consent and the female gaze.The conversation dives into porn literacy, sex education, fantasy versus reality, and why censorship and silence make people more vulnerable, not safer. Inka explains how the same control structures found in cults still exist in society today, especially in the way sex is regulated, taught, and restricted.Smart, disturbing, and necessary, this episode challenges how we think about sexuality, media, and who gets to decide what is acceptable.Want the unedited, uncensored live tapings + bonus Q&A where fans can ask questions?

While most woodpeckers carve out cavities in dead trees for their nests, the red-cockaded woodpecker prefers to use the living pine trees of the southern United States. The woodpecker always chooses one of these living southern pines that is over 60 years old. While these pines can live 200 years or more, usually at about age 60, a fungus infection begins to rot away the heartwood at the center of the tree.Over months or even sometimes years, the woodpecker works his way through the living tissue to the hollow center where he will build his nest. The nest cavity is always above the level of shrub growth in order to provide a safe haven from any forest fires.In addition, surrounding foliage can give the gray rat snake access to the nest. These snakes, natural enemies of the woodpecker, can also climb pine trees. But the snake does not like the gummy resin of the pine tree. In fact, snakes that encounter the resin will begin to writhe and fall to the ground. So to make sure that its home is absolutely safe, the woodpecker drills a series of holes around the hole leading to its nest. The holes are kept open so that the nest hole is always protected by the resin.The red‑cockaded woodpecker carefully selects a site for its home in order to be safe from both fire and a natural predator—using the natural chemistry of the tree to aid its survival. Obviously this intelligence was given to the woodpecker by the Creator since trial and error cannot explain such careful planning.Acts 17:28"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring."Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, the entire creation bears witness to the fact that You are a caring God not distantly removed from us. Grant me a clearer sense of Your presence in My life and Your desire to be even closer to me that You are now. In Jesus' Name. Amen.REF.: Mohlenbrock, Robert H. Bienville Pines, Mississippi.

Why do so many brilliant, accomplished women still feel financially uneasy, even when everything looks stable from the outside?   In this Foundations episode, Dr. Felecia Froe speaks directly to high-achieving women who have done everything "right" yet still feel a quiet undercurrent of pressure. This conversation moves beyond spreadsheets and retirement accounts and into the deeper truth about financial security. Income is not the same as wealth. Comfort is not the same as resilience. And intelligence alone does not create peace.   Dr. Froe unpacks the emotional weight many professional women carry, the hidden dependence created by high-income lifestyles, and why true financial security is rooted in optionality, control, and assets that work without you. If you have ever wondered why success does not automatically feel secure, this episode will help you reframe the question and start building something sturdier than income alone.   00:00 - Why Success Feels Shaky 00:38 - Welcome and Foundations 01:34 - The Hidden Uneasiness 02:07 - Security Is Not Math 03:22 - The Invisible Responsibility Load 04:24 - From Income to Wealth 05:09 - A Better Question 06:12 - You Are Not Behind
