    After a week off, Daniel and Adam return with the hottest of summer stories—literally! Daniel's planned camping getaway in South Florida turns into a sweaty saga of broken air conditioning, sky-high temperatures, and a repairman who vanishes just when he's needed most. Luckily, Daniel salvages the weekend with a big win at campground bingo, proving the power of manifestation and perhaps a little “sacred magic.” Therapy updates, career crossroads, and the search for passion in podcasting and tech fill out the show's first half, with Adam and Daniel debating whether making an egg-scrambling tutorial (or a deep dive into compound mayonnaise) is the way forward.Listener feedback fuels the Contact segment, as the guys field questions about iPads vs. Android tablets for tech-averse parents (spoiler: the iPad wins), then launch into a parade of voicemails reporting on a shocking week of celebrity deaths—from Connie Francis to Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan (plus some playful shade for death pool rules and celebrity status). As the messages roll in, Daniel and Adam reflect on the weird afterlife of former TV stars, the generational power of nostalgia, and even mayonnaise pronunciation wars—settled only by an in-depth food science breakdown and a passionate defense of homemade garlic-dill compound mayo.Rounding out the episode, there's an extended News Game (with Daniel doing his best to beat Adam's New York Times quiz), a rundown of their upcoming September travel plans (including Disney dining, Charleston road trips, and co-pilot meetups), and some candid talk about the joys and pitfalls of HOA drama. As always, the episode is packed with tech talk, food tangents, and the kind of quick-witted banter that makes The Gay Mix a Friday night must-listen.Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice: 707-613-3284

    In this episode of the Musicians Creating Prosperity Podcast, Dr. Fabiana Claure shares a critical message for musicians looking to grow their businesses: don't rush into paid advertising without a validated offer. Before pouring money into Facebook, Instagram, or Google ads, there's essential groundwork you must lay to ensure your investment yields real results. Drawing from years of experience mentoring musicians to build six-figure businesses, Fabiana breaks down why starting with organic marketing—leveraging your existing network, refining your message, and proving your offer—sets the foundation for scalable success. This episode is a must-listen for any musician considering a shift in business model or preparing to launch something new. Key Highlights: Why Ads Are Not Step One: Discover why paid advertising too early can waste money—and how to know when you're actually ready to scale with ads. The Power of Organic Validation: Learn how to test your offer, messaging, and client results using your current network before turning to strangers online. Repositioning Your Expertise: Fabiana explains how to rebrand your existing knowledge into a premium mentorship model and confidently bring it to market. Proof First, Promotion Later: Understand why testimonials, clarity, and alignment are more powerful than high ad spend when building trust and credibility. Mindset & Confidence in Sales: Hear how internal conviction becomes your greatest asset in creating content, showing up online, and enrolling clients. Avoiding the Common Pitfall: Fabiana outlines how skipping organic strategy in favor of “quick-fix” ads leads many musicians to confusion, frustration, and lost dollars. This episode is a grounded and empowering reminder that visibility must be built on a strong foundation. Musicians don't need to gamble with their budget—they need to build confidence through clarity, connection, and proof. Fabiana invites you to tune into the slower, more strategic path that leads to long-term prosperity and impact.   The Musician's Profit Masterclass: Is your music business income able to grow without taking more of your time?

    On this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer is joined by Elliot Felix, a returning guest, to discuss his new book, The Connected College: Leadership Strategies for Student Success. The book, releasing July 22nd, focuses on how higher education can become more agile, connected, and break down silos. Elliot Felix shares his mission of student success, drawing on his experience consulting with over 120 colleges and universities to improve student experiences through transformations in physical spaces, support services, and technology systems. He explains that his new book aims to provide an evidence-based playbook for higher education professionals to collaborate better for student success. Key Takeaways: Addressing Disconnections in Higher Ed: Felix identifies five key disconnections the book addresses, including a lack of belonging among students (only 65% feel they belong), the disconnect between courses and careers, and the prevalence of siloed structures within institutions. He illustrates this with an example of a university having both a "writing lab" and a "writing center" performing similar functions due to historical and structural reasons. The Connected College Vision: Felix envisions a future where colleges and universities are better connected, leading to students feeling a stronger connection to their institution, their coursework linking to careers, and increased collaboration both internally and with external partners like corporations and community groups. Defining Student Success: The conversation delves into the multifaceted definition of student success, acknowledging that it can be viewed through metrics like retention and graduation rates, student engagement and belonging, or the individual student's perspective of success. Felix suggests common ground for student success includes students finding their community, their academic and career path, their place, and a sense of purpose. Silo Busting Strategies: Felix highlights that silos are common in organizations, particularly in higher education, which is designed for durability. He attributes this to a lack of clear strategy beyond broad, anodyne statements, and legacy structures that simply have new functions "bolted on" rather than integrated. Tactics for breaking down silos include sharing data to create a common understanding of students. Forward-Thinking Universities: Examples of innovative approaches include university-industry partnerships driving economic and workforce development, such as Carnegie Mellon's robotics innovation center and Rowan University's expansion into health and wellness and advanced manufacturing. Other examples include Imperial College London's enterprise lab, the University of South Florida's focus on entrepreneurship, and Arizona State's "Work Plus Learn" program.

Imagine seamless online booking, effortless mobile ordering, and data-driven insights at your fingertips. Ready to revolutionize your guest journey and maximize revenue? Power your attraction with Gatemaster. Discover the future at Gatemaster.com.   Jeremy Hauwelaert is the President and CEO of Jungle Island. With a unique background that spans business development in Belgium to sales and operations leadership in South Florida attractions, Jeremy brings a global perspective and a deep passion for the guest experience. Jungle Island, located on Watson Island in Miami, blends zoological elements with immersive, eco-friendly experiences and event-based attractions. In this interview, Jeremy talks about the Jungle Island experience, everything is marketing, and taking chances on employees. The Jungle Island Experience “Jungle Island really feels like an emerald heart in a concrete jungle in Miami.” Jeremy describes Jungle Island as an 18-acre eco-adventure park located between downtown Miami and South Beach. Known for its lush landscaping and immersive natural environment, the park blends animal encounters, a botanical setting, and a vibrant event scene. The attraction's history traces back to 1935, originally known as Parrot Jungle in Pinecrest Gardens. When it moved to Watson Island in 2003, the transition came with both opportunity and challenges. While the central location has made it a prime venue for private events and late-night programming, the daily traffic congestion has impacted visitation from local families—Jungle Island's core demographic. Still, Jeremy and his team have leveraged these dynamics to deliver an evolving and diverse guest experience. Everything is Marketing “Marketing is responsible from the first contact you have with your guest... until they've actually left the building and they filled out a survey.” With a strong foundation in marketing, Jeremy brings a guest-centric perspective to Jungle Island's operations. He emphasizes the importance of understanding guest behavior and designing experiences that align with their expectations. When reopening after COVID, Jeremy launched a bold initiative: free garden admission for locals. This not only reintroduced guests to the park but also proved more effective than a million-dollar ad campaign. Events like the Lantern Festival and strategic night programming help extend the park's reach, especially in a market like Miami, where guests tend to make last-minute plans and seek evening entertainment. For Jeremy, marketing extends far beyond promotions—it's about shaping every touchpoint of the guest journey. Taking Chances on Employees “Giving young people chances and letting them fly and letting them figure out where life takes them is important.” Jeremy's leadership philosophy places a strong emphasis on employee experience. From free meals and snacks to an extra vacation day for visiting other attractions, Jungle Island invests in its team in meaningful ways. Inspired by ideas from industry peers, Jeremy implemented a program where employees explore other attractions using FAA (Florida Attractions Association) white letters and report back with feedback. These insights are reviewed during operational meetings, fostering a culture of learning and innovation. Jeremy also shared his observations about working with younger generations, recognizing the shift in mindset and the importance of mental health support. While not every chance taken leads to long-term retention, he values the growth that comes from giving employees the opportunity to develop and contribute.   For more information about Jungle Island, visit jungleisland.com.

    Dan Markel, a respected Florida State University law professor, was tragically murdered on July 18, 2014, in a “murder‑for‑hire” ambush outside his Tallahassee home. After a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Wendi Adelson—centered on her desire to relocate their two sons to South Florida—a conspiracy unfolded. Investigators uncovered that Wendi's brother, Charlie Adelson, allegedly arranged the hit, funneling payments through his then-girlfriend Katherine Magbanua. Magbanua then enlisted Sigfredo “Tuto” Garcia, who shot Markel in the head, while accomplice Luis Rivera helped orchestrate the setup. The crime was tracked down through surveillance of a rented Prius, phone and GPS data, and an undercover FBI operation that recorded coded phone calls involving Charlie and his mother, Donna Adelson. Ultimately, Garcia and Magbanua received life sentences, Rivera got 19 years for his plea and testimony, and Charlie was convicted in November 2023 on first‑degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation charges. Now Donna Adelson will go on trial in August of 2025.More of STS:Links: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast

    Americans are divided by geography. Most of us live in overwhelmingly red or blue Congressional Districts. We are less likely than ever to know someone from the other side of the political spectrum. We are often misinformed about what members of the other tribe actually believe. In this episode we speak with Kirk Tatnall, Starla Brown, and Cade Smith about a Braver Angels exchange program. Participants from New York City and Jackson, Mississippi visited each other over two weekends. They held workshops and meetings, engaging in discussions across differences.“I just have a fundamental underlying belief that you cannot understand someone else unless you know them,” Kirk Tatnall told us. “You cannot really get to the motivations and the passions and the drive of other people until you see how they live.”The exchange began with the idea that only by coming together physically - in each other's backyards - can we begin to understand the other side.“We got to know each other, and we were allowed to be vulnerable in a very safe, wonderful environment,” said Starla Brown. “Being able to be vulnerable with people who don't agree with you is empowering.”Exchange participants learned about two very different parts of the country, and engaged with people not like them. “It's not just speaking. It's being open to seeing someone in a completely new light, and if you do you can never see them the old way,” Cade Smith told “How Do We Fix It?”This podcast is our latest to report on the people, projects, and ideas of Braver Angels, who aim to restore the American spirit of working together.Our guests:Starla Brown is the current State Director for Americans for Prosperity's Mississippi Chapter. Starla is a 5th generation Mississippian and spent a portion of her life in South Florida where she worked in the construction industry and marketing development, as well as with the Florida chapter of AFP. Kirk Tatnall has been a New Yorker for most of his adult life. His career in advertising has spanned the digital marketing era and he continues to focus his time at the crossroads of media, data and adtech to deliver cross-channel television solutions. He is a husband and father to an adult son who continues to seek out reconciliation across a deeply divided nation.Cade grew up in Grenada, Mississippi and is the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Access and Community Engagement in the Division of Access, Opportunity, and Community Engagement at The University of Mississippi.

Through the lens of three distinct groups of beachgoers—the performance-obsessed social media creators, the documentation-driven content makers, and those who choose authentic presence—Henry reveals how Peter Tosh embodied the third path: living truth rather than performing it. Drawing from Peter Tosh's interpretation of being "a man of the past, living in the present, walking in the future," Henry offers a framework for authentic existence: learn from history without being consumed by it, embrace present awareness, and move deliberately toward your vision.Peter Tosh Petition https://chng.it/QNt87XD2k8Leave us a Voice Message Rootsland "Reggae's Untold Stories"Produced by Henry K in association with Voice Boxx Studios Kingston, JamaicaROOTSLAND NATION Reggae Music, Podcast & MerchandiseLegends of Reggae | Facebook

We kicked off the conversation by diving into the meaning behind their name, "Ortiz Family 275," which represents their wedding date and the five members of their family. It was fascinating to learn that both Oscar and Cat hail from Texas but moved to Florida at a young age, leading to their unique blend of cultural influences. As we explored their journey, they shared how they began creating content during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Initially, Cat was encouraged by a cousin to start a TikTok account, and after posting a video with Oscar that went viral, they decided to focus on couple-oriented comedic skits. Their content has since evolved, and they now boast an impressive following of 2.5 million on TikTok and nearly 700,000 on Instagram. We discussed the differences between Miami and Broward County, highlighting the distinct cultures and flavors of each area. Oscar and Cat expressed their love for local support and the challenges of gaining recognition in a city like Miami, where competition and skepticism can be high. They also touched on the importance of staying true to their comedic style while navigating the ever-changing landscape of social media algorithms. Throughout our conversation, we delved into the intricacies of content creation, including the balance of scripting versus spontaneity in their videos. They shared how they often capture genuine moments from their daily lives, which resonate with their audience. The couple also opened up about the challenges of working together as both partners in life and in business, emphasizing the importance of communication and understanding in their relationship. One of the highlights of the episode was when Cat recounted a recent milestone: being invited to a significant Netflix event in California. This opportunity marked a turning point in their journey, showcasing the growth and recognition they have achieved in the industry. They also discussed the role of their manager in helping them navigate brand partnerships and the complexities of working with companies. As we wrapped up the episode, Oscar and Cat offered valuable insights for aspiring content creators, emphasizing the importance of authenticity, resilience, and the willingness to adapt in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Their story is a testament to the power of creativity and collaboration, and I left the conversation feeling inspired by their journey and the bright future ahead for the Ortiz family.

    After hearing this episode, you'll have no excuse not to reach financial freedom in under a decade. Today's guest did it in even less time, scaling up to income-replacing cash flow in just a matter of years, even with a very demanding full-time job and constantly moving around the country. Through pure hustle, Taylor Wing is now financially independent in his late twenties with a sizable rental property portfolio that spits out cash flow to pay for his South Florida lifestyle. He's got so many tricks to reach financial freedom faster, but his best piece of advice? The number of rentals you own doesn't matter. Taylor was a full-time military member, serving in the Army for the first five years of his career, bouncing between North Carolina, South Dakota, and beyond. Wherever he was stationed, he began buying houses as soon as possible. That meant Taylor spent almost every hour of the day working, either at his job or on his rental property portfolio, for years straight. Was it a grind? Yes. Was it worth it? 100%. Now, fast forward seven years after graduating from West Point, and his family is financially free. He has his beautiful house on the water in Florida and is spending more time with his new (and growing!) family. Through “rebalancing” his rental portfolio, strategically using “reverse 1031 exchanges,” and other savvy strategies, Taylor is now in complete control of his time. He's teaching you how to do the same today! In This Episode We Cover Why “unit count” doesn't matter for financial freedom, but cash flow does  Buying rentals in multiple markets and how to maximize your profit with medium-term rentals  Why every real estate investor MUST review and “rebalance” their rental portfolio (or it'll cost them) How to do a “reverse 1031 exchange” and move your headache rentals into better cash-flowing real estate The $140,000 properties Taylor is buying today that make $300-$400/month cash flow! And So Much More!
