In February 2009, 44-year-old Lesley Herring vanished from her Los Angeles home, leaving behind her car, phone, keys, purse, jewellery, and savings. Her husband, Lyle, claimed she had simply left but a Starbucks receipt found in her purse appeared to show she had bought coffee days after she disappeared.It was meant to be proof she was alive. Instead, investigators checked the café's CCTV and found Lyle buying the coffee himself. Detectives concluded he had planted the receipt to create a false timeline and divert suspicion.Lesley's body was never found, but cadaver dogs detected the scent of human remains in two of Lyle's vehicles, and evidence showed him staging calls and disposing of belongings. In 2013, he was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 15 years to life.

It's Thursday, which means we're almost at Friday — except Riz has suddenly remembered that Friday means sticking his face into the Glory Hole Challenge with no sight, no sound, and absolutely no guarantee that whatever touches his face belongs anywhere near a human mouth. So naturally, everyone is extremely supportive by immediately making the situation worse.Welcome to another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where Rafe is still celebrating his birthday and discovers that Edible Arrangements has apparently undergone a full rebrand since the days when somebody would send you twelve pounds of cantaloupe on sticks. Ella Langley sent Rafe an upgraded birthday arrangement loaded with mini cheesecakes, chocolate-covered fruit, brownies and enough deceptive desserts to make him forget the word “edible” does not necessarily mean “eat literally everything.”Which is how Rafe ate part of a birthday candle.In his defense, there were edible decorations everywhere. In everyone else's defense, it was very clearly still a candle.The conversation then moves into October's most important annual class war: trick-or-treating etiquette. Is it acceptable to take your kids into another neighborhood for Halloween? What if your neighborhood barely participates? What if the other neighborhood is loaded with rich people handing out king-size candy bars? And if you live behind the gates of a fancy community, do you have a moral obligation to open those gates and let the candy-starved masses inside?Apparently some homeowners think Halloween candy is a finite natural resource that must be protected from outsiders. We respectfully disagree. Open the gates. Release the Reese's.Then we tackle another modern etiquette nightmare: people who buy one coffee, open a laptop and quietly annex a Starbucks table for the next seven hours. How long does one latte actually entitle you to free Wi-Fi and office space? Ninety minutes? Three hours? Until somebody physically removes your charger? The crew debates coffee shop squatters, Zoom calls in public and why basic self-awareness could solve approximately 94% of society's problems.Speaking of phones, restaurants are experimenting with phone-free dining, leading to the obvious question: if a host asked you “phones or no phones?” like it was the old smoking section, which side are you choosing? Lern is willing to go phone-free. Moon mostly wants everybody to stop telling him how to eat dinner. Rafe would apparently prefer to eat alone over a sink in the kitchen while making prolonged eye contact with strangers.Perfectly normal funny podcast behavior.Meanwhile, the TSA has finally identified the problem plaguing American air travel: chairs. Agents checking IDs are being asked to stand, which naturally inspires the crew to wonder whether Riz should also lose his chair in the name of looking more alert and professional. Somehow this detours into Hawk Tuah Girl updates, because this show has never met a conversational exit ramp it couldn't miss.We also preview some October entertainment, including the gloriously ridiculous-looking Street Fighter movie, where Jason Momoa, Cody Rhodes, Eric André and a pile of wrestlers, rappers and actors appear ready to punch the remaining dignity out of cinema. Moon is completely sold, mostly because it appears designed specifically for the 13-year-old portion of his brain that refuses to die.So yes: Glory Hole anxiety, birthday candle consumption, Halloween candy economics, coffee shop squatters, phone-free restaurants, standing TSA agents, Hawk Tuah updates and Street Fighter.Just another funny podcast where we started with Friday plans and somehow ended up reorganizing society.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you're in your 50s, 60s, or 70s and wondering whether it's really worth changing your relationship with alcohol now, I want you to hear Susan's story. Maybe your kids are grown. Maybe you're an empty nester.

Tennessee fails to execute inmate after 2 lethal injections, Pilot-on-pilot stabbing forces emergency landing of Israel-bound plane, and this shelter dog in a backpack at Starbucks was adopted almost on the spot.

Send us Fan MailApparently bringing an iced coffee to a job interview is unprofessional now, which is great news for everyone who thought qualifications were getting too much attention. This week on Mike & Blaine, we're figuring out who actually decided what “professional” looks like and why a suit, a tattoo, a pair of sneakers, or a wet Starbucks cup can apparently tell us everything we need to know about someone. We'll argue about dress codes, Zoom cameras, leaving at exactly five, texting the boss, and whether billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg get to break rules the rest of us are still expected to follow.Beyond the social debate, this touches the core of modern business strategy and execution. When leaders rely on outdated optics instead of measurable outcomes, talent acquisition suffers. How do arbitrary standards impact your recruitment pipeline, employer branding, and retention? We dive into tactical management decisions: shifting from vanity metrics—like desk time or mandatory cameras—to objective performance KPIs. We explore how modern founders and executives can build psychological safety, align company culture with business goals, and avoid losing top Gen Z and Millennial talent to competitors who focus on deliverables over dress codes.Somewhere between the hoodie-wearing tech founder and the candidate being judged for a latte, we try to figure out which workplace standards actually serve a strategic purpose and which ones are just corporate traditions nobody bothered to question. Grab a beer—and apparently finish your coffee before you come in.If you enjoyed the show, head over to mikeandblaine.com to buy us a beer and keep the conversation going!We want to hear from you! beer@mikeandblaine.comThanks to our Beer Sponsors:"Baltimore Mike"Karen Hairston from 3S Smart ConsultingCPA Larry Weinstein, the Cash Flow Cowboy from Houston TexasNeighbor PatDevinTrey MiltonListen to all our episodes at mikeandblaine.comLearn about:Cash Flow Mike who trains CPAs to provide effective advisory to their clients at cashflowmike.comDryrun Cash Flow Forecasting for the office of the CFO where they get finance teams out of spreadsheets at dryrun.com#IcedCoffeeDebate #JobInterview #InterviewTips #GenZ #GenZAtWork #WorkplaceCulture #Professionalism #CareerTok #Hiring #JobSearch #BusinessBeerAndBS #Starbucks #Zoom #LinkedIn #Forbes #HarvardBusinessReview #Entrepreneur #Nike #Apple #BusinessStrategy #ManagementTactics #Leadership #TalentAcquisition #CorporateCulture #WorkplaceTrendsSupport the showCatch more episodes, see our sponsors and get in touch at https://mikeandblaine.com/

In this episode with performer Yhivi we really get into everything starting with her earliest days meeting strangers in Starbucks parking lots to sell worn underwear before she ever considered studio work. She breaks down her first scene for Kink.com, why BDSM felt more intellectually intimate to her than straight boy-girl content, and the very specific advice that helped her earn two industry awards for oral performance in a single year.We also get her honest, nuanced take on the ongoing debate around performers who build their brand on extreme stunts, and why she thinks that path is a fast track to burnout no matter how much attention it generates. Thoughtful, filthy, and refreshingly self-aware.Full Patreon Q&A with even more detail: patreon.com/hollyrandallunfiltered Huge thanks to SC World for sponsoring the show!Follow them at instagram.com/scworld.official  Follow Holly Randall on all platforms: Hollylinks.com

Listen, Michael, I started my business back in 2015 and I grew it to an eight figure brand in seven years, but I made a lot of mistakes along the way. That made the path of getting to eight figures take a lot longer than it needed to. There were times where I had self-doubt in myself as a leader, where whether I could actually run and lead a team of people, or whether my business could actually survive on the Amazon Marketplace, or if we would have the cash flow to be able to purchase new products in order to continue to grow.Josh Hadley 00:01:11  I wish I would have had a guide along the way that would have made getting there a lot quicker and easier to help me navigate around those stumbling blocks I ran into.

Viele der Hotelier.de-Podcast-Gäste haben einen HOGA-Hintergrund: Die einen haben eine Koch-, die anderen eine Hotelfachausbildung absolviert. Aber niemand hat erstmal Sportwissenschaften studiert, ist dann über Kreuzfahrtschiffe sowie dem Radio in der Systemgastronomie sowie der Hotellerie gelandet. Was mir nicht vergönnt war, hat Sebastian einfach gemacht: Ganz viel in der weiten Welt ausprobieren und schauen, was daraus wird. Möchte ich der ewig gutgelaunte Gäste-Vorturner auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff sein oder möchte ich wieder festen Boden unter den Füssen haben? Komme ich als Radiomoderator auch in die Primetime 'Vormittag'? Oder stelle ich fest, dass mich das doch nicht ausfüllt? Soll ich mein effektives (Influencer)Wirken bei 25hours-Hotels fortsetzen oder haben sich meine Prioritäten verschoben und ich möchte erstmal auch Papa sein? Kommt mit in die spannende Welt des Sebastian Herbst auf einem Marktplatz in Hamburg-Volksdorf. Freut Euch auf Überraschungsfragen von u.a. seinem Ex-25-hours-Chef Patrick Moreira sowie einem launigen Schnack im Fips Junior... Gutes Hören!

Klein was emotional this morning after learning we lost Principal Belding from Saved By The Bell. A religious fan of SBTB, this was Klein's Dolly Parton, and we gave him a proper tribute after reminiscing about other famous TV principals we grew up with over the years. After her anniversary sex romp at a hotel over the weekend, Ally realized she may have left her sex toys in the hotel room. This resulted in a very awkward phone call to the hotel which was of course recorded and broadcast on air for your cringey listening pleasure. The Starbucks across the street from our building was one of the many that closed down in the last few days, and we read the heartfelt emotional note posted on their door, claiming that though this tragedy might be hard to live through, new lasting memories can be made at the location one block away. Plus we heard about the dumbest things you've ever done in a round of Am I An Idiot? Learned about the last thing you should say to a friend experiencing tragedy during Clickbait, and a new secret to long life in Old People Secrets.

Hour 3 (09.28) Big-box America knows you’re broke: ALDI is cutting prices on about a third of its stuff — seasonal produce included — through November 3; Walmart’s running Deal Days; Target’s cheap on candy, snacks, and cereal; and Amazon’s discounting fish, meat, and dairy. Then Bellio’s Starbucks-door story and her Andy Garcia story, which somehow end the same way. Disney+ and Hulu jack ad-free to $21.49-plus — stream-flation — while finding the actual game gets harder, and the FDA is close to a blood-cancer test. Replay of the Coliseum ugly: USC linebacker Desman Stephens II’s targeting hit on Oregon QB Dante Moore put him down hard; Moore’s expected to be OK with movement in all extremities, but Stephens and teammates celebrating while he was still on the field was a look nobody needed. Live now: a chase near LAX and Westchester turns into a foot pursuit with CHP on it. Mark’s MCing Kitten Rescue’s Fur Ball at the Skirball this weekend. And Dennis Haskins — Mr. Belding from “Saved by the Bell” — has died at 75. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seth Godin, bestselling author of more than 20 books, visionary, friend of the pod and the inventor of email marketing, returns to The Remarkable Retail podcast to discuss his new book, The Knot. Seth reframes the Gordian Knot legend: Alexander didn't cut it, he pulled out the hidden pole at its centre and then untied it. The lesson? Every place we feel stuck has hidden entanglements, and the way through is to name them. Seth explains how wanting two incompatible things at once keeps people and companies frozen, and why struggling retailers are often defending real estate rather than embracing their purpose: creating delight worth more than what customers pay.Drawing on Kodak, Netflix, Blockbuster and Google, he tackles the sunk-cost fallacy with a memorable first-class-to-Dubai analogy, explains how status, affiliation and fear shape boardroom decisions, and offers practical advice for anyone whose boss won't let them change: run small experiments, share the credit, own the blame. Seth also warns that AI is turning every remaining employee into a manager, an identity shift for people trained since childhood to ask for the right answer. His challenge to retail leaders is to trade golf for surfing, tell the truth about where their time actually goes, and get close enough to customers to rediscover the empathy that makes great merchants.Before we get to Seth, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc celebrate Steve's hat trick as an NRF Top Retail Voice, then it's into the tail end of earnings season. Costco is Exhibit A for retail's great concentration, posting net sales up 11.2% and a 9.4% comp, with digitally enabled sales up nearly 20%, though higher fuel prices flatten the numbers by a couple of points. J.C. Penney illustrates the collapse of the unremarkable middle, with sales down 8% and net income cut by more than half. And in a return of the Wobbly Unicorn Corner, Stitch Fix's turnaround looks stalled as active clients slip and weak guidance sinks the shares.We finish with Steve unpacking Adobe's forecast of 6.7% growth in November and December online spending, and why margins, not comps, will be the real holiday story. He also marks the closing of the storied Neiman Marcus downtown Dallas flagship, home of the Zodiac Room, and shares a fun fact: Home Depot is the top-returning S&P 500 stock of the past 45 years. On the radar screen, Steve examines AI's mood swing as data-centre pushback grows and consumer adoption slows. At the same time, Michael looks at the halt of Canadian beer and spirits exports to the U.S., and at U.S.–China retail, from Luckin's rise to Walmart's roughly $30 billion business in China. About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

In this solo episode of I Fired My Boss, Dan Claps shifts the conversation from sales, marketing, and leadership to one of the most important parts of running a successful business: knowing your numbers. Dan shares how he went from thinking finance and accounting were boring to spending a significant portion of his week studying financials, working with his CFO, and reviewing profit-and-loss statements. He explains a simple approach to understanding profitability by looking at the actual cash coming into and leaving the business, then breaking expenses down into monthly, daily, and even hourly operating costs. From identifying your true breakeven point to understanding fixed and variable expenses, Dan shows why financial literacy doesn't have to be complicated.Dan also explains how knowing your breakeven number can turn a seemingly overwhelming growth goal into something much more actionable. Sometimes the difference between struggling and becoming profitable can come down to one additional job per day, a higher average ticket, or simply opening unused capacity on the schedule. Drawing on examples from his own franchise system and a story about Starbucks breaking a massive revenue goal into small, store-level targets, Dan demonstrates the power of turning big financial objectives into measurable daily actions. If you want to better understand what it actually costs to run your business—and what needs to happen each day to make it more profitable—this episode offers a straightforward way to start.

Jermane Cheathem has spent more than 20 years in commercial equipment finance and his referral partners made him over $50 million in closed deals. He's the only guest that appeared on this podcast 3 times. And for a good reason. I always learn something new from him and I bet you will too. At his peak he made 300 cold calls a day. Today he works the same four hours and makes none of them, and one coffee at a Starbucks turned into $6.4 million in deals. So I asked him what all that activity was protecting him from, why founders keep buying tactics that make things worse and what a box of chocolates in Dubai has to do with any of it.Then I put my own business on the table. Two offers, revenue split down the middle and a client description I was sure was specific enough. In about seven minutes he showed me I had been describing the wrong person and who I should have been talking to instead. I told him I would make the call the same day.If you keep adding funnels, ads, and tools to a business that still feels stuck, this episode gives you a perspective that might change the way you do business forever. Enjoy!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.comAndrew Sharp came out heavy against the influx of indoor NFL stadiums. He writes:Modern capitalism has been an object of considerable public debate over the past 10 years, and while I'm not particularly inclined to join our ongoing conversation about the historic merits or contemporary failings of Western markets, I will say this: we are building too many football stadiums with roofs.I disagree with Andrew, but have my own modern NFL gripe: Too many international games. And so we discuss these topics but also the following: * Morgan Wallen vs. the cultural gatekeepers.* The 49ers' cursed substation is gaining normie believers* Andrew wants the NFL to stop building domes; Ethan wants a roof on Levi's.* Are we falsely romanticizing terrible weather games?* Has the NFL's global experiment actually worked?* “Fracking the pie”: Can the NFL dilute its own product forever?* Why watching football on Netflix feels wrong.* The modern NFL is becoming a Starbucks.* Should the Washington Redskins come back?

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!! We are STILL buzzing from Dear Media by Day.. Saturday was AWESOME: panels all day, brand activations, happy hour, and our first time ever doing something like this as a couple. Talking about “having it all (ish)” in front of 300+ people?? SO cool.  One of the best parts: our friends were in that crowd. Even better? We never asked them to come. They found out, bought tickets, and showed up for us. Which is EXACTLY why this week's PSA on friendship felt so timely: you need to start being a "high effort friend." The internet spent years teaching us to cancel plans and call it self care, and the pendulum is officially swinging back (& we're here for it). As for the panel itself: we talked all about our "family framework." Consider this episode the sneak preview (what it is, how we rank each bucket out loud every week, why it's changed how we bring things up with each other).. and we'll do a FULL episode on it this coming Friday!! Pop questions in the comments and we'll hit them friday!!  Life stuff: Tate had an "I need cuddles" night and ended up back in our bed.. and we need to know: will THIS ruin our toddler's sleep habits?! Our honest answer: some nights can be just for the memories. Jules is off to Europe, which sparks the great travel debate: do you bring food on a flight? Safety sandwich rules are discussed at length (Italian, NO tomatoes, you're welcome). And our date night giveback winner is announced!! Then two things we DMed that we're still processing: the "butter" on movie theater popcorn isn't butter (it's soybean oil in a trench coat.. we feel lied to??), and third places are disappearing. Starbucks and McDonald's traded the cozy / fun hangout for the pickup shelf, and we need SOMEONE to figure out balancing vibes with efficiency. To close: the best investment one mom made once her kids left for college (plane tickets.. go to THEM), and should we go to Japan on our honeymoon?! (aaaand should the neighbors be invited hahaha) Hope everyone has a great week :-) LOVE YOU GUYS!

Starbucks is closing another 250 stores across North America — and two of them are in Seattle, the company's own hometown. As the coffee giant boards up locations, independent cafés and bakeries are quietly filling the vacated storefronts. The free market giveth, and the free market taketh away. Meanwhile, those unionized Seattle stores Sean's been watching? Minimum wage can always go to zero.Sean breaks down the full scope of Starbucks' retreat: 627 stores shuttered across North America and Europe last year, now another wave hitting the Pacific Northwest. The company says it evaluates stores on "customer experience and long-term performance" — a polished way of saying the unit economics stopped working. Former employees at closing locations will get severance or transfers to other coffeehouses. Former customers will get a local bakery.This episode also covers the broader layoff wave hitting Washington state: Microsoft cutting 300 jobs from its Xbox and commercial divisions as AI rewrites the economics of tech staffing, and Expedia trimming headcount across its Bellevue operation.CHAPTERS0:00 Starbucks closes hundreds more stores…1:35 Microsoft Leads the Seattle Layoff Wave2:16 Xbox Gaming Nostalgia from a Dad3:27 Microsoft Cuts 300 Washington State Jobs4:49 Tech Sector Bloat Meets AI Automation5:40 Xbox Games Division Shrinks for AI6:56 Expedia Cuts 58 Washington State Jobs8:24 Microsoft and Xbox July Layoff Totals9:42 Starbucks Baristas and the Living Wage11:23 Starbucks Closing Stores in the…12:48 Unionized Starbucks Stores Face Shutdown14:59 Starbucks Moves Headquarters Out of…16:28 Fumbling a Coffee Order GoodbyeSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily conservative commentary on the Pacific Northwest stories Seattle media buries straight.#NFRP #Seattle #StarbucksGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Former Washington Governor Christine Gregoire released her Challenge Seattle report this week with an unambiguous verdict: the Puget Sound region has lost nearly 7,000 jobs and surrendered its competitive edge to other metros. Starbucks is building a $100 million Nashville campus. Amazon is quietly exiting South Lake Union. The warning signs are no longer subtle — they're on every balance sheet across King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties.Sean's read: this is the entirely predictable outcome of a Democrat supermajority that spent decades choosing ideology over economic competitiveness. Regulatory overload, a hostile business climate, and a reflexive tax appetite didn't happen by accident — they were legislated into place, one progressive priority at a time. Now that the data is undeniable, regional leaders are holding summits and launching partnerships. Meanwhile, Katie Wilson and the progressive revenue caucus are already eyeing the next hike.A statewide millionaire tax is headed to a ballot repeal vote. If it survives, Sean argues it's game over for Washington's remaining advantages. Venture capital is retreating, restaurant permitting is a bureaucratic nightmare, and Microsoft has publicly warned about payroll tax exposure. Bellevue is quietly capturing the business Seattle keeps pushing away — but that math has a ceiling too.CHAPTERS0:00 Former Gov.

Oracle just cut another 359 jobs in Washington state — its second significant round of layoffs this year, following 491 cuts in March. The company is pivoting hard into AI, freeing up cash by eliminating the high-paid technical engineers and software developers it once recruited to the Pacific Northwest. Seattle offices aren't closing, but everyone in them might be gone before long.Sean Reynolds calls this the "tech doom loop" — and it fits. As Washington state piles on regulations and taxes that make it one of the most expensive places in the country to do business, companies like Oracle are quietly gutting their Pacific Northwest workforces. Katie Wilson and Seattle's political class have no answer beyond more commissions, more studies, and spending programs that deepen the spiral.Four decades of Democrat supermajority leadership have painted this region into a corner. The commercial real estate collapse spreading from Portland to Seattle, Amazon's steady migration to Bellevue, and Starbucks cutting jobs for Tennessee aren't isolated stories — they're the same doom loop playing out across every sector. Seven thousand jobs lost and counting, with no credible plan to reverse course from the people running these cities.CHAPTERS0:00 Oracle cuts 359 Washington jobs in…1:44 Oracle Cuts 359 Jobs in Seattle3:52 Oracle Keeps Office, Fires Remote…5:01 Seattle's Costs Make It a Layoff Target7:01 AI Replaces Seattle's Software Engineers8:20 Seattle Treats Business as a Tax Spigot9:09 Oracle's AI Debt Drives Nationwide…11:49 Oracle Shed 21,000 Jobs This Year13:16 Big Tech Dumps Puget Sound Office Space14:49 Portland's Big Pink Sold at 87% Discount15:56 Amazon Vacates Seattle for Bellevue16:48 Starbucks Fires Staff Who Refused…17:58 Puget Sound Lost 7,000 Tech Jobs20:00 Challenge Seattle Faces Its Policy…23:34 Seattle's Policies Price Out ResidentsSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't tell you.#NFRP #OracleLayoffs #WashingtonStateGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Yusuke(もしもしゆうすけ）once saw a young employee walk in late — Starbucks cup in hand, smiling — and we ended up talking about what's really shifting in Japan's workplaces. Is the younger generation just more relaxed, or is something bigger changing? We get into generational gaps, punctuality, paid leave, and power harassment — and what it all means for the future of Japanese work culture. It's the kind of conversation you'd have over coffee, not in a classroom. Come listen in!

Most organizations don't have a talent shortage. They have a talent visibility problem. In this episode, Marie Gill, CEO and Co-Founder of Aetheon, shares with Dan Albaum how leaders can learn to truly see the people around them. Marie draws on more than a decade at Starbucks and her "Forrest Gump career" through startups and HR consulting. The conversation covers: Why hiring for yesterday's jobs leaves hidden talent untapped How AI can augment human understanding rather than replace it Why culture is built by behavior, not by values on a wall What separates exceptional leaders from good-enough ones Why human flourishing and brain health are becoming strategic advantages

HOST: Michael Fanning, SVP & Co-Owner, Windermere Coaching. Host of the Windermere Coaching Minute podcast.EPISODE SUMMARY:When a client compares your compensation to a flat-fee listing site, they're usually not wrong about the listing itself it does look the same everywhere. Michael uses a blind coffee taste test, a public defender versus a trial attorney, and an agent's own days-on-market numbers to show where the real value actually lives, on both the seller side and the buyer side of a transaction.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:Answer the "why not just use a flat-fee site" objection without getting defensiveTreat your days on market and list-to-sale ratio as your own professional track record, not a passing market statRecognize why taking a listing priced with unrealistic expectations damages more than that one transactionName your specific value to buyers negotiating leverage, representation, guidance not just to sellersUse your brokerage's actual tools as part of a complete value proposition instead of a line item on a resource sheetRESOURCES & RECOMMENDATIONS:Windermere Ready Windermere Real EstateMoreland Insurance Windermere Real Estate insurance partnerGenerations Home Loans Windermere Real Estate mortgage partnerCONNECT:windermerecoaching.comSubmit a topic: windermerecoaching.com

Environmentalists are calling on Starbucks to stop telling customers that its single-use plastic cold cups are “widely recyclable,” after a nationwide tracking investigation by Beyond Plastics could not confirm a single cup being recycled. As part of a national week of action, a protest will be held at the Starbucks at 1244 Western Ave. in Albany (near UAlbany) on Saturday Oct. 3 at noon. Alexis Goldsmith of BP talks with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

In Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass faces a high-stakes challenge from candidate Nithya Raman, who previously displaced Spencer Pratt during the primary election. Corporate and civic disputes also dominate the region: Larry Ellison and Paramountfinalized a controversial deal with California Attorney General Rob Bonta, drawing sharp public criticism from Jane Fonda and Mark Ruffalo, while the $3.3 billion people mover project at LAX suffers delays and massive cost overruns. In Las Vegas, U.S. Ambassador Tilman Fertitta purchased major Caesars Entertainment properties on the Strip, while media executive Barry Diller abandoned an $18 billion takeover attempt of MGM Resorts. Further north in Seattle, Mayor Katie Wilson confronts pushback from major employers like Amazon and Starbucks. On the environmental front, Category 5 Hurricane Polo threatens Baja, Mexico, and Southern California, compounding severe coastal erosion left by Hurricane Marie.Finally, Germanicus examines international conflict, referencing the Roman campaign in Yemenunder Emperor Augustus, current global energy price surges, and comments by Mark Carney concerning Canada and the United States, noting that soaring fuel costs in California highlight widespread economic and political instability.

Dr. Heather McKee, PhD behavioral scientist and motivation science advisor at MyZone, joins Eric Malzone to explain why motivation is the wrong thing to chase first and what actually gets members to stick around past January.Dr. McKee argues that action creates motivation, not the other way around, and that operators should design for a member's ordinary Tuesday rather than their idealized best day. She breaks down why six week challenges quietly fail most members, citing Eric's own experience retaining just 4 percent of a 50 person challenge cohort six months later, and introduces the concept of competence matching, or stage matching people to exercise based on their actual confidence level rather than their ambition. The conversation also covers how AI can extend a trainer's reach from a few hours a week into dozens of touchpoints without replacing the human relationship.Dr. Heather McKee is a PhD behavioral scientist, motivation science advisor at MyZone, and Europe-based habit formation specialist who has consulted for lululemon, Starbucks, Unilever, and HSBC.
