894 Honor the Lord with Substance and Discipline, A Guided Christian Meditation on Proverbs 3:9-12 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ. Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization. You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing. If you feel comfortable doing so, I invite you to close your eyes. Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation: Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate, deflate. Scripture for Meditation Proverbs 3:9-12 NIV 9 Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. 11 My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, 12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. RSV 9 Honor the Lord with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce; 10 then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. 11 My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline or be weary of his reproof, 12 for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. and refreshment to your inner self. Reflection on Scripture: These two stanzas go together well. Let's reflect on the first. What is the purpose of the substance we have? What can our wealth do for us in the long run? What about beyond 100 years? On an eternal scale it is very limited and has no impact other than where we set our heart. If we learn to prioritize God above the things of the world, to include finances, we are in a far better situation to be able to learn what God wants to teach us. I think this message is valuable in times of plenty but in difficult economic times, this message is even more valuable. What would you pay for a better eternal relationship with God? What would someone pay for their own soul? Now the second Stanza, in modern society discipline is often presented as a negative or a necessary evil. And yet the scripture is very pro discipline. I was talking with someone close to me outside my immediate family and I was talking with them about things that werent going the best in their life. I had a very specific moment where I had to decide how truthful to be with them. Not that I had to decide to lie or not, but I had to decide to intentionally bring up uncomfortable conversation that was absolutely not necessary for my happiness. There is a pattern in that person's life I felt I should highlight for them because it was negatively impacting other relationships for them. I remember at that moment specifically choosing to engage in that lengthy emotionally exhausting and uncomfortable conversation because I cared about that person and I wanted them to do well. My willingness to engage in that discomfort was rooted in care. I wanted nothing from that person other than for them to live a more satisfying life for them and for those around them, but I had no expectation the conversation would help me. The Lord cares for us far more than that. If God chooses to correct us it is not out of an unrighteous desire. It is not out of malice or narcissism or any negative outcome or bias. It is because of his raw care and concern for us. When scripture calls us to repentance or others in our life point out how we could be better, our pride fights it, but God's desire for us is that we rejoice in that correction because it will help us. Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.

In this episode, we explore Raphael's extraordinary decoration of the Vatican's Stanza della Segnatura, one of the defining achievements of the High Renaissance. At the center is the famous School of Athens, but the true masterpiece is the whole of the room's larger intellectual and theological program. We examine how Raphael brings together classical philosophy, poetry, law, and Christian theology into a unified vision of knowledge itself. Along the way, we consider the remarkable portraits, ancient influences, and artistic personalities embedded within these frescoes. The episode ultimately reveals how the School of Athens leads toward the theological vision, unifying the glorified pagan past with his Christian present.

Part I: Mass Distribution is the Antithesis of DesirabilityMarc Lotenberg, Founder of Dorsia, argues that the operators who will define the next decade of hospitality are the ones who have understood that reach and relevance are not the same thing, and that the pursuit of one is often the fastest way to destroy the other. In Part I of this episode, Marc explains why the new generation of wealthy consumers has stopped equating luxury with status and what most operators are getting wrong as a result, what happens to the guest experience when a restaurant can't hide behind alcohol sales, and why opening reservations to anyone and everyone is the fastest way to lose what made a venue worth booking in the first place.

Trained in architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design, Marie-Louise took over creative direction of the property in 2004, starting with a single bathroom renovation and expanding into every touchpoint of the guest experience, from uniforms to tableware to the archive-driven design language the group is now known for.The portfolio has grown from Il Pellicano alone to include Mezzatorre on Ischia and La Posta Vecchia outside Rome, with two more properties in the pipeline: La Badia in Umbria and La Suvera in Tuscany. That expansion followed a €200M partnership with Aermont Capital, structured to take the group from three properties to a target of ten to twelve while keeping design, brand, and guest experience decisions in-house. Few operators have built a hospitality brand with this much mythology attached to it, and fewer still have done it while actively resisting the key-maximizing logic that typically comes with institutional capital.Marie-Louise's thesis is that scale and soul are not opposing forces, as long as room count stays intentionally small and every property is allowed its own distinct identity rather than a repeatable format.In this episode, Nadine sits down with Marie-Louise for a rare look inside how Pellicano built its mythology, and what it takes to scale that world without flattening it.INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTSThe sink-or-swim test her father gave her: one bathroom renovation, no formal hospitality training, and a mandate to prove she could deliver a returnMarie-Louise's unfiltered take on copycatsHow the €200M Aermont Capital partnership came together, and what made it different from the other funds that approached the family firstNavigating the tension between a private equity return horizon and a family hotel business built over sixty yearsThe case against key-maximizing, and why Pellicano has refused to scale room count even when the underwriting would support itThe case study of Mezzatorre: opening a hotel in an emerging resort marketMarie-Louise's view on the shift in what defines luxuryLearn more about Pellicano Hotels hereConnect with Marie-Louise on InstagramFollow The Stanza on InstagramSubscribe to The Stanza on Substack

Part I: AI and the Future of HospitalityEvery hospitality operator is asking the same question right now: what does AI actually mean for my business? Marc Lotenberg, founder of Dorsia, has a clear thesis: the operators who will define the next era of hospitality are not the ones who chase the technology, but the ones who double down on the art, the craft, and the magic that no algorithm can replicate.In Part 1 of this episode, Marc shares why AI will finally deliver the hyper-personalized, frictionless experience that modern luxury has always promised, how it will change everything from the kitchen to the moment a guest walks out the door, and why the pace of that disruption is arriving far faster than most people in the industry expect.This episode is made possible in partnership with Dorsia.

Cain was formed in partnership with Todd Boehly and Eldridge Industries, built on a shared conviction that gateway cities and branded experiential real estate represented a generational investment opportunity.Cain's real estate portfolio spans some of the most scrutinized assets in luxury hospitality. At the center of it is One Beverly Hills, a $5 billion, 17.5-acre mixed-use development flagged by Aman in the heart of Beverly Hills. Jonathan also co-led the $900 million investment into Aman Group alongside Saudi PIF, subsequently partnering with Mubadala Capital to finance the brand's expansion. Other assets in the portfolio include Six Senses Courchevel, Raffles Boston, the Delano Miami, and a stake in the Delano brand in partnership with Ennismore & Accor. Cain was investing in luxury and experiential real estate long before the pandemic made the thesis obvious to the broader market.I worked on One Beverly Hills for Jonathan at Cain, which gives this conversation a level of access and specificity that is rarely present in interviews at this level of the industry.Interview Highlights:Approach to risk and creating an asymmetrical outcome in businessThe story behind the Aman investment opportunityWhat sets Aman apart from the restWhat it takes to earn the trust of sovereign wealth fundsHow Cain assembled the One Beverly Hills siteThe buyer profile of Aman Residences in Beverly HillsDeveloping other luxury projects: Six Senses Courchevel & Raffles BostonRepositioning the Delano brand & Miami hotelJonathan's approach to choosing a hotel management partnerThe personalization problem luxury hospitality has yet to solveIf you enjoyed this episode, you'll also enjoy reading The Stanza's Friday weekly newsletter.

Part I: The Business of Six Figure TravelHow does one quantify the thesis that affluent consumers are prioritizing experiences over possessions? Luxury travel advisory SmartFlyer reports a 75% year over year increase in trips exceeding $500,000, alongside a 41% rise in bookings between $100,000 and $499,000.In this mini segment, SmartFlyer COO Erina Pindar shares what is fueling this growth, from multi-generational safaris in Botswana to Antarctica by private jet and yacht-hopping across the Mediterranean. She explains why modern luxury is defined by privacy, access, and highly personalized execution.At this level, it's not just about the hotel. It's about designing a journey that feels entirely your own.This episode is made possible by SmartFlyer. Follow @smartflyer on Instagram or visit smartflyer.com to learn more.Part II: Dreams Don't Have a Price”: The Philosophy Behind Lake Como's Most Iconic HotelsValentina De Santis is a third-generation hotelier and the owner of two of Lake Como's most celebrated properties: the iconic Grand Hotel Tremezzo and the intimate 24-room villa hotel, Passalacqua — which debuted at #1 on The World's 50 Best Hotels list in 2022.Her family has shaped Lake Como hospitality for over half a century. In the 1970s, her grandfather acquired the historic Grand Hotel Tremezzo — originally built in 1910 to serve Europe's aristocracy — and restored it to its former grandeur. What began as a bold entrepreneurial leap became a generational legacy rooted in independence, long-term stewardship, and an uncompromising belief in beauty.Born and raised on the shores of Lake Como — quite literally in the back corridors of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo — Valentina grew up immersed in the rhythms of hospitality. Today, she serves as both custodian and visionary for her family's portfolio, expanding it thoughtfully while preserving its soul. Alongside her parents, she led the acquisition and transformation of Passalacqua, an 18th-century villa that had been a private home for over 200 years before reopening as one of the most celebrated boutique hotels in the world.In an era dominated by global hotel groups and private equity, Valentina remains fiercely committed to family ownership, financial independence, and building for continuity — not exit. Her philosophy blends instinct with discipline, emotional intelligence with operational rigor, and above all, a deeply Italian belief in villeggiatura: the art of slow, meaningful travel.This interview was filmed at Casabianca in Lake Como, the De Santis family's art gallery showcasing their personal collection of modern and contemporary art.Interview HighlightsGrowing up inside the Grand Hotel Tremezzo and witnessing Lake Como's evolutionThe four-week auction battle that led to acquiring PassalacquaRestoring an eighteenth-century villa under Italy's preservation lawsWinning number one in the world and choosing to change nothingThe philosophy of villeggiatura and creating hotels that slow guests downThe subtle operational details that quietly define true luxuryDesigning for conviction instead of guest expectationsWhy financial independence is non-negotiableDefining success through continuity rather than exitIf you enjoyed this episode, you'll also enjoy reading The Stanza's Friday weekly newsletter.

Your host Andy, Ant and Dun take a look back at a rather insipid display vs the more incisive Blades of Sheffield United.- Dun's last show?- 2 shots on target from the visitors, 2-0 down at half time- Not much else to discuss really- Apart from we did get the ball in the back of the net, but a combination of offside and an assault denied Kone.- A performance so weak SWV wrote a song about it 24 years ago- Not scored since Madsen got injured.- The cavalry seems to have stalled. JCS started, Cook on the bench, where is everyone else?- Kone Brace...but on his knee- Turns out Sam Field would have been the answer after all. With Sam everything would be just fine, right? right?- Loan updates from around the country - Neil Warnock and Gary Waddock back in the dugout, at Torquay and Wealdstone respectively.- Boro and Brum played each other on Monday, Both look like they will give us problems based on our recent form.- Mr. Mamdani goes to Washington- New York finally warms up, just in time to be on high alert.- QPR 0 World War 3- Crayon Erection, Shaggo, Sex Mask, Mannequin Death Squad come to town for the New Colossus Festival.

She understands air rights, entitlement risk, capital stacks, branded residences, and why the “flag” can make or break a deal. And then she walked away. Moved to Europe. Started publishing ideas on the internet. Went viral by dissecting how lifestyle brands become hospitality empires — and why most projects fail before they ever break ground. That experiment became The Stanza — a media platform where capital meets culture, and where taste isn't aesthetic decoration… it's strategic advantage. In this episode, we explore: What really goes into building ultra-luxury hospitality Distribution vs. desire — and why the best brands don't optimize for everyone Why most pitch decks fail (and what investors actually want to see) How authenticity becomes a moat in both hotels and media And why the future of luxury may belong to smaller, family-led operators who treat hospitality like art If you're building a brand, raising capital, or trying to create something truly one-of-one in an increasingly algorithmic world — this conversation will recalibrate how you think about luxury.

Sono gli Hikikomori, ragazzi e ragazze che vivono nel totale isolamento sociale e nell'auto reclusione casalinga. Ce ne parla lo psicologo che li studia da anni, Marco Crepaldi.

January 3, 2026Today's Reading: Introit for Second Sunday After Christmas - Psalm 8:1, 4-6; antiphon: Psalm 8:2Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 63:1-14; Luke 2:21-40“Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.” (Psalm 8:2)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Christmas provides us with a unique lens to contemplate Psalm 8:2. Almighty God stills the enemy and the avenger. To still in the Hebrew is “lehashbit.” It is where we get the word “sabbath.” It means to cease or to put rest. In the context of God's enemies, it means He stops them dead in their tracks. Those wicked forces at work by the demonic or our own sin (think Herod) are stopped dead in their tracks from derailing the Lord's plan of redemption. But how does He do this? Through the mouth of babies and infants! Not with the blunt force of angelic or earthly armies, not with an iron fist, but through the weakest and most vulnerable, babies and infants. God defeats the violent and arrogant lies of Satan, the world, and our sinful flesh with what the wisdom of the world would call “weak” or “foolish.” Think of this: While Jesus is the Son of God, rightly ordering the existence of the universe, He was a vulnerable baby dependent upon the arms and milk of His blessed mother! And this “weakness” begins the downfall of death and the devil. And the strength of weakness continues; beaten, bloody, and mocked on the cross, the gates of Heaven open to us, and the strength of Hell is slammed shut. And what does the Apostle Paul say, “God chose the weak in the world to shame the strong…so that no human being might boast before God.” (1 Corinthians 1:27-29) Christ within you, and you within Christ through Word and Sacrament, your faith clings to Him alone! And that faith which hangs on the Gospel causes the accuser and the powers of darkness to quake. Not because you are strong, but because you are as weak and helpless as a baby, and your strength is in the God-man born, crucified, raised, and ascended for you, our Lord Jesus! So at Christmastime, learn from St. Mary, “magnify the LORD and rejoice in God Your Savior.” Join with the blessed St. Paul and boast all the more gladly in your own weakness, so that the power of Christ may rest upon you (2 Corinthians 12:9). In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.You still the wicked's very boast, Establish strength to the utmost, By babes and mouths of infants small, Our enemies in silence fall. (Metered version of Psalm 8:2 to the tune of Vom Himmel Hoch found in LSB 358. Stanza written by Rev. Matthew Synnott)Author: Rev. Matthew Synnott, associate pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Peoria, Illinois.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.Work through the first ten chapters of Matthew and learn more about who Jesus is.

Your host Andy, Ant and the husk of Dun don't really talk about QPR vs Ipswich as it was the most insignificant part of Saturday.Saturday was Go Purple For Lily Day....and we had a very special guest on the day. Lily.It was an emotional and crazy day. Sadly, Andy couldn't make it, but Dun and Ant were there are we cover off what it was like to be there on the day. The love and generosity was off the charts, there was media - we spoke with CBS Sports and Fox 5 news , there was a lot of QPR NYC fans, old and new and we met our new friends from our supporting clubs. We thank everyone who helped us and talk about what a wonderful club we support, because the people who work from the club are wonderful.

Today's guest is Ian Schrager, the legendary hotelier, entrepreneur, and cultural pioneer who reshaped nightlife and hospitality as we know it.Ian first made his mark in the 1970s as the co-founder of Studio 54, the iconic New York nightclub that became a symbol of glamour, freedom, and cultural revolution. Alongside his partner Steve Rubell, Ian created an experience that transcended nightlife, merging design, celebrity, and theatricality into something entirely new.After Studio 54, Ian continued to reinvent hospitality. In the 1980s, he launched the Morgans Hotel Group, introducing the world's first “boutique hotel” : a concept that blended art, design, and service in a way that changed the industry forever. At a time when hotels were seen purely as places to sleep, Ian reimagined them as vibrant social hubs, activating lobbies, bars, and restaurants as dynamic public spaces that reflected and contributed to the cultural life of a city. With properties like Morgans, the Royalton, and the Delano, he transformed the hotel from a travel necessity into a cornerstone of the modern urban landscape: a place where design, community, and experience converged.In more recent years, Ian has continued to redefine hospitality with two visionary brands. EDITION Hotels, created in partnership with Marriott International, brings his boutique sensibility to a global stage. With around 22 properties worldwide, from New York and Miami Beach to London, Barcelona, Tokyo, and Dubai, each EDITION is designed as a one-of-a-kind reflection of its city, combining understated luxury, cutting-edge design, and activated social spaces that feel both intimate and electric.By contrast, PUBLIC represents Ian's evolution of the idea: “luxury for all.” Its flagship on New York's Lower East Side, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, reimagines the hotel experience through high style, technology, and inclusivity, featuring self check-in, vibrant communal areas, and nightlife-driven energy at a democratic price point. With plans to expand to West Hollywood and beyond, PUBLIC distills Schrager's decades of innovation into an accessible, modern model for the next generation of travelers.Across every chapter of his career, Ian Schrager has consistently challenged convention, blurring the lines between hospitality, art, and lifestyle, and influencing generations of hoteliers, designers, and creatives along the way.In this episode, Ian reflects on his incredible journey, from Studio 54 to the present, and shares the insights, risks, and instincts that have defined his enduring legacy.A heartfelt thank you to Peoplevine for sponsoring The Stanza podcast this year (and for supporting The Stanza since the beginning).

Dr. Jonathan Leary is the founder of Remedy Place, the social wellness club reimagining how we gather, recover, and connect. Trained in medicine and drawn to a more human, preventative approach, Jonathan spent years building a concierge sports-medicine practice while refining a 150-page business plan for a new kind of health club - one that could make self-care social and compelling. He opened the first Remedy Place in Los Angeles and has since expanded to New York and Boston, with a growing movement around contrast therapy, IV lounges, and community-driven rituals that help people feel better together.In this conversation, Jonathan shares his founder story: from the pivot that gave him five years of real-world data, to why he personally guaranteed his first lease. We unpack the idea of “social self-care” and why drink dates blunt connection, the business model behind Remedy Place, and what he's learned scaling from two to four clubs in just months.Thank you to Peoplevine for sponsoring the 2025 season of The Stanza.

Eugene started his hospitality career in the New York nightlife business in the 2000's, launching hit concepts such as Tenjune and SL, before pivoting to large format restaurants post 2008. Following this defining moment in his career, Eugene doubled down on the Catch concept and took a bold step forward by launching the LA location. In 2017, upon the success of Catch LA, Tilman Fertitta became a partner in Catch Hospitality Group. In this interview, we chatted about Eugene's background as a Russian immigrant and his attitude towards entrepreneurship, and building longevity in hospitality through the humility to learn from mistakes and relentlessly evolving the guest experience.Thank you Peoplevine for making this podcast possible.
