In this episode, Tony sits down with Brian Jeffery from the Black Mass Paranormal YouTube channel, to discuss disturbing activity emerging from Appalachia, including feral people, unexplained disappearances, and strange encounters deep in the mountains of the Southeast. Brian shares new research into reports of a clicking sound he believes functions as biological sonar, allowing these beings to navigate caves and forests without relying on sight. They explore how cave systems, Native American lore, and missing persons cases may be connected, and why some phenomena appear physical rather than purely supernatural. They also touch on Dogman sightings near military bases, the possibility of engineered entities, and the personal cost of investigating these subjects. This episode challenges conventional explanations and forces a reexamination of what may be living beneath the mountains and moving just out of view.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

But is it good enough? We talk about it on this week's Access Louisville podcast. The plan hasn't been fully revealed but there is plenty of information out there. Most recently, LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett reported that The Metts family, which owns the property at 1250 Bardstown Road, is partnering in a joint venture with Atlanta-based Branch Properties to redevelop the site, according to the agenda for an upcoming Highland Commerce Guild meeting. Branch Properties develops, operates and invests in grocery-focused retail properties, according to its website. The majority of its portfolio, which spans eight states in the Southeast, consists of Publix-anchored properties, including a planned shopping center in Richwood, Kentucky, near Cincinnati.In July, Stinnett also reported that a zoning certification filing made with Louisville Metro Planning and Design called for the construction of a grocery store and six standalone retail buildings on the property.We're not throwing shade at the prospect of a new Publix or new retail. Lord knows there's a need for more grocery stores inside the Watterson Expressway. But this is a huge site in the middle of a vibrant urban neighborhood. Where's the 10-story tower? The parking garage? Is there a movie theater and a library branch in the plan — because we had that at the old site and everyone seemed to like it. LBF Editor-in-Chief Shea Van Hoy recently penned an opinion column saying he'd like to see high-density residential redevelopment mixed with ground-level retail/commercial.You can hear our thoughts on what's been revealed on the show. It could be that this plan would just be the easiest thing to develop.After the Mid City Mall talk, we also chat about recovery efforts following the Nov. 4 crash of UPS Flight 2976. Reporter Michael L. Jones and Digital Editor Zak Owens recently took a tour of the restricted site, which is just south of Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, and they tell us about what they saw and the latest with the cleanup effort.Finally, we wrap up this week's show with sponsored content featuring LBF President & Publisher Lisa Benson, who has an interview with Ross Mayfield, private wealth manager at Baird. Baird is the sponsor of the Access Louisville podcast.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Episode OverviewIn this Casting Angles episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash and casting instructor Mac Brown discuss strategies for maximizing educational value at fly fishing shows nationwide. With the 2026 show season approaching, they share tactical advice on how to approach casting and tying demonstrations, turning entertainment into genuine skill development. Mac Brown, who teaches at major shows from Marlborough to Lancaster, explains why focusing on the caster's hand movements—rather than the mesmerizing fly line—unlocks the secrets to better casting technique. The conversation covers practical methods for recording demonstrations with smartphones, the importance of high frame rate video for slow-motion analysis and how to build practice habits that translate classroom learning into on-water performance. They also introduce a new foundational casting system designed to eliminate 85-90% of common casting problems, along with Marvin's process-driven approach to fishing that emphasizes building systematic habits from gear preparation through reading the water.Key TakeawaysHow to record casting demonstrations effectively by zooming in on the instructor's hand and arm movements rather than watching the fly line, capturing both the visual technique and audio explanation for later review.Why developing a show attendance plan before arriving—including which classes and demonstrations to prioritize—transforms passive entertainment into active skill development for serious anglers.When to use high frame rate smartphone settings and inexpensive tripods to create slow-motion practice footage that reveals what you're actually doing versus what you think you're doing.How building systematic habits and foundational casting technique creates space to solve on-water problems and provides the baseline needed to learn advanced variations and specialty casts.Why tension control connects fly tying and casting technique, making both skills more accessible when you understand the underlying principles that the best practitioners master.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe episode centers on video analysis and deliberate practice methods for casting improvement. Mac and Marvin emphasize recording demonstrations with smartphones, specifically filming the caster's hand movements, rate of acceleration and body mechanics rather than the fly line's path. They recommend using inexpensive tripods with phone mounts and adjusting iPhone settings to shoot at high frame rates, enabling clear slow-motion playback for self-analysis. The discussion introduces a foundational casting system that Mac and Marvin have developed, designed to address the majority of casting faults before progressing to advanced techniques. They also touch on the parallel between tension control in fly tying and casting.Locations & SpeciesWhile this Casting Angles episode focuses on educational methodology rather than destination fishing, Mac Brown references his upcoming teaching schedule at major fly fishing shows across the country, including Marlborough, Massachusetts; Edison, New Jersey; Denver, Colorado; Bellevue, Washington; Pleasanton, California; and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The conversation touches on Mac's home waters in the Southeast, where warm January weather in the 60s has allowed for T-shirt fishing conditions. The episode's insights apply universally to any water or target species, as the casting fundamentals and learning strategies discussed translate across all fly fishing scenarios from trout...

While 2025 might be in the rearview mirror, many of its economic trends carry into 2026. These are a few to watch that influence demand for multifamily.Can the labor market rebound and spur household formation? It was one of the biggest disappointments of last year, with essentially no job growth after April. Supply will be lower than recent peaks, but it won't completely disappear. Many markets in the Southeast and Southwest regions rely on strong job creation and migration to fill those units.How might a continued “K-shaped” economy impact rent growth? While consumer spending helped boost GDP in 2025, there was a significant divide based on income levels. Much of the spending was from top earners, while those with more moderate incomes were sensitive to inflation on essentials such as food and utilities. This trend could be a headwind for revenue growth, especially for properties with mid-to-lower rent levels.Will the frozen single-family market start to thaw? Existing home sales saw a slight rebound near the end of 2025, but they remained well below normal levels. The typical first-time home buyer is now 40 years of age, a record high. While the lack of affordability has kept people in rental housing longer, a positive for demand in the industry, it likely stunted job growth and spending that would have helped the broader economy.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

Bet the Jockey, Not the Horse: A great concept (the horse) will fail with a poor operator, but a great operator (the jockey) can pivot and save a concept during a "black swan" event like COVID-19. The "Disproportionate" Equity Model: A popular funding structure involves paying investors back 100% of their capital first; once de-risked, the profit split shifts in favor of the operator. Staff Longevity as a Metric: High retention (e.g., staff staying 20+ years) is the ultimate green flag for investors, signaling a healthy culture and operational stability. The "Landlord's Market": In high-growth areas like the Southeast, low vacancy and high demand mean rents are spiking, requiring operators to be faster and more prepared during negotiations. Banking is still Face-to-Face: Despite digital trends, walking into a branch and looking a lender in the eye is still the best way to secure capital for a restaurant. The Rule of Three Banks: Operators should maintain 2–3 banking relationships, as individual banks may lose their "appetite" for the restaurant sector depending on the economic cycle. Inflation Beyond Rent: It's not just the base rent; skyrocketing "Triple Net" (NNN) costs—taxes, insurance, and maintenance—are the biggest current headwinds for operators. Succession Planning is Mandatory: Investors need to know what happens if the founder "gets hit by a bus." A business that can't run without its owner is a risky investment. Tenant Mix Matters: Successful real estate development requires a balance; too many restaurants in one center creates parking "cannibalization," hurting everyone's sales.

Throughout the Gospel of Mark, Jesus said “yes” to all kinds of people…men, women, rich, poor, religious, sinful, influential, invisible. His appearance in the world—from the manger to the cross—was an emphatic YES to all humanity and a YES to YOU. Mark 16:15 Speaker: Kyle Idleman

The focus is on the complex case of Poppell v. Cardinal Health, McKesson Corporation, and Smith Corporation, which involved 21 plaintiffs and highlighted the opioid crisis.   CASE SUMMARY:  In the case of Poppell, et al, vs McKesson, et al, twenty-one plaintiffs sued three wholesale medicine and medical supply distributors, including McKesson Corporation, Cardinal Health, and J.M.
