Lauren Kleinman is the founder of Dreamday and co-founder of Quality Media and The Quality Edit. She coined the term "performance PR," built two agencies without raising a dollar, and today leads more than a hundred people.Before any of this, Lauren spent almost a decade as an employee. First employee at StartEngine. Sixteenth at Scopely, which sold for billions. Then first employee at Ritual. She knew she wanted to build something of her own, she just didn't know what yet. When she finally left, she named her company Dreamday, because she'd pictured the day she actually wanted. A hike, a swim, a couple of client calls, and time with her kids. Seven years later, she'll tell you it has never happened. What happened instead was having two young kids during COVID, no maternity leave, and burning herself out so badly she had panic attacks for the first time in her life.In this episode, Lauren gives you the actual playbook, from how to know when you're ready to leave your job, to how to line up your first client before you even quit. She breaks down how to get press when you can't afford PR, and what makes an editor open your email out of the four hundred sitting in her inbox that day. And she's just as honest about the rest of it, from what burnout really looked like for her, to what she'd tell you to watch out for, to how she finally stopped believing she had to carry all of it alone. If you want to build something of your own one day, and you also want to still like your life while you build it, this one is for you. In this episode, we'll talk to Lauren about:* Why overworking became tied to worthiness and success. [02:20]* Learning to shift from constant doing toward simply being. [03:16]* Unlearning the hustle mentality after years of proving her worth through work. [04:38]* Why perfect balance is unrealistic—and one ball will always drop. [09:20]* Why profitability and sustainable margins matter from day one. [14:11] * Knowing when the entrepreneurial itch is strong enough to make the leap. [16:08]* Spotting gaps in PR and coining the idea of performance PR. [18:00]* How whitelisting gives brands the credibility of creators and publishers. [19:35]* Turning real brand pain points into The Quality Edit and Quality Media. [20:00]* Using a network and early clients to validate the leap into entrepreneurship. [21:00]* Recognizing when business momentum starts looking dangerously like burnout. [23:20]* The burnout breaking point and learning to build boundaries around work. [24:59]* Why public speaking is a muscle for founders. [30:16]* How smaller brands can build PR relationships and use AI to pitch smarter. [35:02]* What makes a pitch cut through: cultural relevance, strong numbers, and making the editor's job easier. [36:58]* Why affiliate links matter—and when publications actually use them. [42:58]* Learning to delegate, release perfectionism, and decide which fires can burn. [47:18]* The reminder that even successful leaders are still figuring it out.

Wall Street treats demand like a line on a chart. Rob Snyder says that's exactly why investors keep getting burned. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Rob Snyder — Harvard Innovation Labs fellow, serial startup founder, and author of The Power of Pull — about why customers almost never buy things because they were convinced to, what that means for how you evaluate a publicly traded company's growth story, and how the AI boom is exposing which software businesses have genuine demand and which ones are papering it over with an ever-growing sales and marketing budget. He also shares the one financial metric he trusts above all others — and the surprisingly mundane AI use cases he's most excited about.

Scott Gussin grew up in New York, lost his mother at seven years old in a moment that changed the direction of everything that followed, fell into selling weed and hash and LSD coming of age in the 1960s and 70s, and eventually built one of the most specific and most audacious international drug smuggling operations available — bringing hash from Morocco to the United States across a career that spanned thirty years before it finally ended. _____________________________________________ #crimestory #drugsmugglers #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1 & HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this episode: AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ Buy Scott's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Gus-All-Years-Combined-Samson/dp/B0H34MTKSV _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Roadblock with hash on board 00:37 Guest intro: Scott's story 00:57 Growing up in Portchester 01:21 Losing his mom at 7 03:37 A parade of housekeepers 06:59 The housekeepers get weird 08:03 Getting into weed at 15 10:42 Meeting Reuben and the LSD 13:58 Hash vs. weed explained 17:28 Pricing the product 20:00 Spotting 'heads' back then 22:45 Only two straight jobs 25:05 The ignorant law enforcement 26:18 Cops don't recognize hash 27:25 A trippy traffic stop 32:26 Acid buddy becomes a JW 37:23 After high school 38:18 Dodging the Vietnam draft 40:56 College for connections 44:40 Hitching with a pound of weed 46:16 The business mindset 47:42 Leaving college for California 48:09 Meeting Cassidy and the Morocco plan 50:47 The cocaine trip that wasn't 54:30 Selling the boat, new plan 57:03 Bringing Stella along 58:59 Buying the VW bus 01:01:39 Buying hash on the mountain 01:05:28 Driving with 44 pounds 01:07:09 Coming upon a roadblock 01:10:47 Getting past the roadblock 01:13:52 Setting up at the beach house 01:16:34 Building the secret stash bed 01:18:57 A month in Morocco 01:20:00 The sign to leave 01:22:45 The Moroccan customs search 01:27:20 The ferry and the dolphins 01:28:24 Easy entry into Spain 01:32:40 Cassidy's anger and laughter 01:33:46 Shipping the bus to Montreal 01:35:28 Swapping the bed in Canada 01:37:53 Crossing into the US with the bed 01:39:13 Selling the hash, big profits 01:43:36 Trust in the old days 01:44:29 Bust risks in Spain and Morocco 01:46:19 The failed second attempt 01:49:01 The near-disastrous boat trip 01:54:15 How long did the career last? 01:54:55 Back to New York, then Arizona 01:59:32 The Laguna Beach connection 02:02:20 Cowboy Neil's operation 02:04:41 The North County partnership 02:07:12 Weighing and distributing 02:09:00 The two-year plan 02:10:16 Thai stick and new markets 02:14:19 The big deal in Laguna 02:17:20 The gift suitcase 02:18:51 The DEA roadblock 02:21:17 Three hours of interrogation 02:25:00 The search comes up empty 02:27:24 Scared straight by the DEA 02:29:04 Overall earnings and taxes 02:32:59 The DEA's advice: leave California 02:36:41 Moving to Florida and new businesses 02:38:00 The mistake that ended it all _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

How do you help a child who says "I'm bad at math," "I can't read," or "That's just not my thing"? In this episode, Mackenzie sits down with Alexis Wilson, growth mindset and performance coach, to discuss how parents and educators can help kids break out of fixed mindsets and build genuine self-confidence (hint: empty affirmations without evidence don't work).

What does it actually take to become the UK Sommelier of the Year? And how do the world's best sommeliers blind taste wine under pressure? In this episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina sits down with Emma Denney, the newly crowned UK Sommelier of the Year 2026 and Director of Wine at Claridge's, to go behind the scenes of elite sommelier competition, blind tasting and fine wine service. Emma takes us inside the competition - from identifying grape varieties, regions and vintages in a blind tasting, to recognising wine faults by aroma alone, tackling food and wine pairing and serving Champagne under pressure. She also explains how professional sommeliers build their tasting knowledge, read the clues in a glass and develop the confidence to make decisions quickly. But this isn't just an episode about becoming a sommelier. Emma is a brilliant guide to some of the wine world's most fascinating regions and producers. We dive into Champagne and grower Champagne, Northern Rhône Syrah and Hermitage, Jumilla Monastrell, Ningxia Riesling, Margaret River and New Zealand Pinot Grigio, with plenty of bottles and wine travel ideas to add to your list. You'll also learn what RM and NM mean on Champagne labels, why Champagne's chalk soils matter, what Coteaux Champenois is, how lees ageing and late disgorgement affect Champagne, how to recognise common wine faults such as Brett, cork taint and oxidation, and why some of the world's most exciting wines are coming from places you might not expect. So whether you're already deep into wine, studying for a qualification, improving your blind tasting or simply looking for your next bottle, region or wine trip to explore, this episode is packed with things to taste, learn and investigate.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From December 2025. Today's 2 topics: - Meteors, shooting stars, or falling stars are different names for the streaks of light in the night sky which are in reality the dying embers of tiny asteroids. These small interplanetary travelers were speeding along at between 7 and 44 miles per second when they entered the Earth's atmosphere. In space, they are called meteoroids and typically ranged in size from that of a grain of sand to perhaps ones as big as of a piece of driveway gravel. Large space pebbles can produce fireballs which are brighter than the planet Venus. - At about 2AM on July 18, 2011 several people in near Tata, Morocco saw a bright fireball which was described by one of them to be initially yellow, then turned green, and finally exploded into several pieces producing two sonic booms. In October of 2011 desert wandering nomads began finding very fresh looking dark fusion-crusted stones which were radioactively dated by Dr. John Duke of the University of Alberta to be less than 5 years old. In total 15-24 lbs of meteorites consistent with a very recent fall were found in a strewn field, were whisked away to receive high prices from collectors, and named after the town of Tissint, about 30 miles from their discovery location.

In this episode of the Travis Makes Money Podcast, Travis and producer Eric take a break from business talk to debate their favorite Spider-Man movies, discuss the massive box-office success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and explore what the resurgence of movie theaters could mean for entrepreneurs. From the power of nostalgia and recognizable IP to the renewed demand for in-person experiences, the conversation turns into a lesson in identifying cultural trends and finding ways to turn them into business opportunities. On this episode we talk about: The massive box-office success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and why audiences are showing up in record numbers What makes certain franchises and characters consistently generate demand Why smaller, more personal superhero stories can sometimes resonate more than massive, interconnected plots The potential resurgence of movie theaters, drive-ins, physical media, and other in-person entertainment experiences How entrepreneurs can spot cultural trends and turn them into local business opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Pay attention to where people are returning. The renewed excitement around movie theaters and other shared experiences could create opportunities for entrepreneurs willing to bring people together in the real world. Look beyond the obvious trend and ask what it means for you. Instead of simply noticing that theaters are making a comeback, think about what related businesses, experiences, or services could benefit from that momentum. Nostalgia can create real demand. Familiar experiences like movie theaters, physical media, and video stores can have powerful emotional appeal, especially when they're modernized for today's consumers. Notable Quotes "It was a master class in generating demand." "The bigger the potatoes get, the less interested I am in the movie." "How can you pick up on trends like this and think about what does this mean for me?"

Send us Fan MailThis week on Thursdays with Wayne and Steve, the guys take aim at “miracle” pool products, suspiciously cheap equipment, expired test reagents, and the growing number of online knockoffs promising professional results at bargain-basement prices.Wayne recalls some of the industry's most memorable gimmicks—including magnets that supposedly made calcium disappear—and explains why words like “miracle cure” should immediately raise a red flag. Steve breaks down how he presents customers with equipment options, why an internet price is not always an apples-to-apples comparison, and what customers give up when they purchase off-brand replacement parts without professional support or a reliable warranty.During this episode's Insurance Interlude, Steve and Pat Grenon examine a nightmare renovation in which an unlicensed contractor allegedly left chunks of concrete inside a pool's plumbing. They discuss the homeowner's possible options, the limits of homeowners insurance, and why asking to be named as an additional insured may provide valuable protection before a contractor begins work.Wayne also explains why heavily discounted test kits and reagents may not be the bargain they appear to be. Products sitting in warehouses or clearance bins can be years old, and expired reagents can produce unreliable results—even when the packaging looks perfectly legitimate.The conversation also covers customer communication, emergency-service pricing, protecting your profit margins, commercial-pool safety failures, and why treating people well remains the most effective marketing strategy in the pool business.Topics discussed include:Spotting “miracle product” scams and deceptive demonstrationsOEM equipment versus inexpensive aftermarket replacementsHow to explain equipment pricing and warranties to customersWhy professionals should charge more for emergency and weekend serviceIdentifying expired test kits, reagents, and test stripsThe risks of buying unusually cheap chemical-testing products onlineWhat happens when an unlicensed contractor damages a swimming poolHomeowners insurance and contractor-liability claimsWhy additional-insured status mattersConcrete and construction debris trapped inside pool plumbingDeveloping relationships with reliable leak-detection specialistsCommercial pools with dangerously low pH and alkalinityCloudy-water problems caused by filtration and operational failuresChanges within Leslie's and what pool professionals should watchBuilding trust through honesty, education, and customer serviceWhy word-of-mouth remains the strongest form of marketingThe takeaway is simple: read the labels, check expiration dates, compare products carefully, document contractor work, and never assume that the cheapest option is actually the least expensive.Have a pool-industry scam or questionable product you think Wayne and Steve should investigate?

Many older adults may dismiss dropping objects, struggling with stairs, or tiring on short walks as a matter of just getting older, but it can be an early sign of a serious group of disorders known as late-onset neuromuscular diseases (LONDs). The American Neuromuscular Foundation's Why Behind Your Weakness campaign seeks to raise awareness of LONDs and the shared symptom patterns that too often go unrecognized. Myasthenia Gravis Association Executive Director Allison Foss and Director of the Neuromuscular Center at Cleveland Clinic John Morren discuss the everyday impact of conditions like myasthenia gravis, ALS, CIDP, and limb-girdle muscular dystrophies; why unexplained, progressive weakness deserves a closer look; and how a new clinical decision support tool can help primary care providers distinguish age-related changes from true neuromuscular red flags.

Keith Rabois has built companies, backed some of Silicon Valley's biggest successes, and earned a reputation as one of the sharpest strategic minds in venture capital. But when Louisa sat down with him, they barely spoke about investing. Instead, they explored the system behind his decision-making: the daily habits he believes keep his brain performing at an elite level. From treating himself like a professional athlete to measuring every workout for more than two decades, Rabois argues that the strongest predictor of longevity isn't genetics or supplements, it's VO₂ max. He explains why every ambitious person should know their VO₂ max, why he believes improving it may have a greater impact than many of the world's biggest public health campaigns, and why he asks founders the same question before asking about their company. You'll hear why he wears a fitness tracker every day, why he hasn't missed more than seven workouts in seven years, and why he believes consistency, not intensity, is what compounds into extraordinary performance. The conversation then moves beyond fitness into the psychology of excellence. Keith explains why he reads for an hour every day, how reading the encyclopedia as a child shaped the way he thinks, and why nearly every world-class founder, politician, and investor he admires shares one habit: relentless curiosity. He reveals how he learned to assess people within minutes, what he looks for on a LinkedIn profile before an interview, why preparation matters far more than talent, and the invisible work that most people mistake for luck. They also dive into his longevity protocol: why creatine became a non-negotiable after reading the cognitive research, how he approaches blood work differently from traditional medicine, why he uses red light therapy and cryotherapy, the supplements he actually believes are worth taking, and why he refuses to use anything that could unnecessarily affect his brain. He explains why he would invest in brain-computer interfaces but never electively implant one himself, and why protecting the unique quirks of your brain may be more valuable than enhancing them. Finally, they unpack one of his most controversial beliefs: stress isn't something to eliminate, it's something to embrace. Drawing on the research behind *The Upside of Stress*, Keith explains why people who reframe stress consistently outperform those who fear it, why challenge drives growth from the cellular level to leadership, and how high-performing teams balance obsession, accountability, and psychological safety.

In Episode #112 of The Executive Commute, Jayson Krause is joined by experienced entrepreneur, former CEO, and TEC Canada Chair Mark Terrill for a candid conversation about transparency in leadership. They explore why transparency is essential for building trust, particularly during difficult periods, and why employees create their own explanations when leaders fail to communicate clearly. Mark also explains why effective transparency does not mean sharing everything. Leaders must balance openness with confidentiality, timing, focus, and empathy. When handled poorly, transparency can become oversharing, venting, or an overload of information that creates more fear than alignment. This episode will challenge you to consider what your team needs to hear, what you may be withholding, and how more intentional communication could strengthen your leadership.

Every day, ordinary people unknowingly walk right past clear human trafficking signs in their own neighborhoods and on their kids' smartphones. Over 50 million people worldwide are trapped in modern slavery, with vulnerable runaways targeted in local hotels and teenagers groomed by digital predators using AI. In this episode, Nick Thompson sits down with Laura Parker, CEO of The Exodus Road, to expose the warning human trafficking signs hiding in local neighborhoods and on children's social media. Despite explosive headlines about elite networks in the Epstein files, the mainstream media fails to teach everyday citizens how the infrastructure of this multi-billion-dollar criminal enterprise actually operates. You are conditioned to believe trafficking only looks like dramatic kidnappings by strangers, but the terrifying reality is a systematic manipulation of trust. Laura Parker exposes real human trafficking stories of survivors, unmasks online grooming tactics, and uncovers the exact child exploitation prevention strategies you need to protect your community. In this episode, you will learn: ✅ Exactly what human trafficking signs to watch out for in hotels, airports, and your everyday life. ✅ How "Romeo pimps" and digital predators use psychological manipulation and false promises to groom victims. ✅ Why law enforcement is shifting toward digital forensics instead of traumatizing survivor testimony for sex trafficking rescue operations. ✅ The reality of online child grooming tactics exposed and how AI is fueling sextortion schemes through social media apps. ✅ Inspiring human trafficking stories of survivors who have reclaimed their lives from modern slavery. ✅ Actionable child exploitation prevention steps you can take to make an impact for World Day Against Trafficking in Persons 2026. Our Guest Laura Parker is the CEO and co-founder of The Exodus Road, a global anti-human trafficking organization that has conducted operations in 20+ countries and helped free over 6,300 survivors. She's a speaker, author, and advocate for human-centered leadership — drawing on 15 years of frontline experience, including raising three kids overseas while her husband worked undercover in anti-trafficking operations. Laura speaks on healthy leadership culture, sustainable performance, human trafficking awareness, and how to keep kids safe online. Our Mission Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication. Our goal is to remove the stigmas around mental health, holistic lifestyles, culture, and free speech so you can show up as your authentic self with your eyes wide open. By having real conversations about difficult truths, we move toward collective healing.

In this episode of In Depth, Brett sits down with Jon Noronha, co-founder and CPO of Gamma, the AI-native presentation platform used by more than 100 million people. In this conversation, he walks through Gamma's distinct eras of product-market fit: from a pre-AI struggle with a year of runway left, to an overnight AI-fueled explosion, to today's unplanned scramble into enterprise sales. Jon also unpacks his hard-won lessons on horizontal versus vertical bets, monetizing AI products, and why nailing onboarding turned out to be the whole game. In today's episode, we discuss: Why Gamma's all-in AI launch in March 2023 saved their startup How fixing a simple onboarding problem accidentally uncovered Gamma's entire product-market fit Why Jon bet Gamma on a horizontal product against the advice of nearly every investor How Gamma's daily signups climbed from hundreds to over 100,000 with zero paid marketing What building three pricing tiers taught Jon about monetizing AI References Canva: https://www.canva.com/ Corgi: https://www.corgi.insure/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ Gamma: https://gamma.app/ Google: https://www.google.com/ Linear: https://linear.app/ Loom: https://www.loom.com/ Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/ Notion: https://www.notion.com/ Optimizely: https://www.optimizely.com/ Salesforce: https://www.salesforce.com/ Slack: https://slack.com/ Zoom: https://www.zoom.us/ Where to find Jon Noronha LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonnoronha/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/thatsjonsense Where to find Brett LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:47 Gamma's three-era journey to product-market fit 03:41 Spotting the blank page problem pre-ChatGPT 05:11 How Gamma survived with only one year of runway 07:17 How onboarding fixes revealed the whole product 09:31 Choosing horizontal over investors' vertical playbook 13:41 Prototyping by hand before AI coding 15:36 How Gamma builds with future models in mind 20:06 The Kool-Aid mistake of a late PowerPoint export 24:31 Why the presentation industry hadn't evolved since 1987 33:30 How Gamma solves evals for taste, not just data 40:21 Jon's hardest lessons monetizing AI since 2023 44:16 The fast leap from prosumer to enterprise 47:01 Why product still beats distribution 52:06 The metric that proved product-market fit 57:36 Pricing advice for prosumer AI founders 59:01 The toils and realities of founder life

Has a boss ever asked you to drinks or dinner, and something about it felt off? On this episode of Cut to the Chase: host Gregg Goldfarb sits down with Jesse Weinstein, a partner at Phillips & Associates who has recovered nearly $40 million for employees facing harassment, discrimination, and retaliation at work. Jesse walks through why office happy hours create risk, why HR exists to protect the company rather than the employee, and what retaliation looks like long before someone actually gets fired. He also breaks down medical leave, caregiver rights, and the protections available to pregnant employees, including what happens when people return from parental leave to find their role has quietly disappeared. Practicing across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, Jesse shares how to document harassment the right way, what New York City's around-the-clock liability standard means for off-hours conduct, and why reading your employee handbook before anything happens could make or break a future case. Join Gregg and Jesse Weinstein on Cut to the Chase as they explore: What You'll Learn Why mixing alcohol into work events raises the risk of harassment, and why saying no can trigger its own backlash Why HR exists to protect the company, not the employee, and how investigations can be quietly limited How to document harassment the right way, including timestamped notes, texts, and one-party consent recording rules What counts as retaliation before you're ever fired: isolation, stripped duties, sudden scrutiny, and cold shouldering Why New York City's automatic employer liability rule can apply even to off-premises conduct Your rights around short-term disability, FMLA, and caregiver leave for a family member's medical condition What protections exist for pregnant employees, from morning sickness accommodations to return-from-leave retaliation Why contingency-fee representation means legal help doesn't require money up front Key Moments Introduction: the "boss asks you out" scenario and today's topics Why alcohol at work events raises the risk of harassment Why rejecting a boss's advances can trigger its own backlash Spotting workplace culture red flags during the interview process Why HR exists to protect the company, not the employee How investigations get limited: unquestioned witnesses and quiet dismissals Why documentation matters: timestamped notes, texts, and one-party consent recording Practicing across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania Sending a rejection text, and why it counters the "it was consensual" defense What leadership can do to actually curb workplace harassment Reading the employee handbook and finding the right HR contact New York City's automatic employer liability for supervisor harassment What retaliation looks like before termination: isolation, stripped duties, scrutiny Weighing legal strategy against personal and career consequences When to call a lawyer, even before you've been fired New York's 24/7/365 liability standard for off-premises harassment Why most people only read their handbook after meeting a lawyer Medical leave rights: short-term disability and FMLA Caregiver leave for a family member's medical condition Pregnancy rights: morning sickness accommodations and the "interactive process" Retaliation after returning from parental leave, and hidden reorgs How contingency fee representation works Whether employees can negotiate to get their job back after termination Closing thoughts and how to reach Jesse Jesse Weinstein is a partner at Phillips & Associates, where he represents employees facing harassment, discrimination, and retaliation across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Most people think group conversations are just a series of one-on-one interactions. They're not. AJ and Johnny break down the hidden social dynamics that determine who gets heard, who gets ignored, and why the best ideas often lose to the highest-status voices. Drawing on research from MIT and behavioral science, they introduce a practical framework for reading any room in under 90 seconds by identifying status hierarchies, hidden alliances, and the unspoken rules shaping every meeting, networking event, and dinner conversation. If you've ever left a meeting wondering why your ideas were overlooked—or watched someone else get credit for something you already said—this episode will change how you walk into every group conversation.

To the American birder, spotting the Tamaulipas Crow is potentially a once-in-a-lifetime event. The crow's range is mostly in Mexico and extends ever so slightly into Texas, specifically in and around a dump called the Brownsville Landfill. Spotting the Tamaulipas — north of the border — means being able to check it off your American Bird Association Checklist. So just how far will die-hard birders go to see this bird? In this episode producer (and first-time birder) Michaela Elias sets out to the southern border with a group of experienced birder friends to find out. Together with her "wingmen" Michaela braves the Texas heat, crawls through brush and over slippery rocks, and risks getting attacked by dogs — to find out whether collecting bird sightings as if they're Pokémon is a meaningful way to engage with the natural world. Featuring Jake Glassman, Joe Hack, and Joel Glassman. Produced by Michaela Elias. For full credits and transcript, visit outsideinradio.org. SUPPORT Outside/In is made possible with listener support.
