It’s the last week of 2025 and so much happened! Our summer was defined by a rogue rat mosaic in Cal Anderson Park. Starbucks closed its fanciest store in Seattle: the Capitol Hill Roastery. Seattle’s nude beach Denny Blaine now has a fence between the clothed and unclothed. And Seattle elected its youngest mayor ever while pushing out its more moderate incumbents. There’s a lot to reflect on, and thankfully our friends over at Week in Review took the time to look back on the year for their Year in Review event. Bill Radke hosted the panel of Libby Denkmann, Phyllis Fletcher, and Sandeep Kaushik. Mayor elect Katie Wilson and Attorney General Nick Brown were there too. We're bringing you an excerpt from the evening. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. Tap here to make a gift and keep Seattle Now in your feed.

Snaxshot, the curatorial and slightly mercurial grocery newsletter and community, has grown into an industry force, read by consumer packaged goods executives and members of the food media on a near-religious level. (We are among these readers.) Andrea Hernández returns to the show to go over the big headlines from the year at the grocery store and in the CPG trenches. We talk about shorting protein, Stiller's Soda, and Starbucks's stumbles, and we play a fun game of “WTF is up with…”... It's a fun conversation about the year in food and grocery. Also on the show we have a great conversation with Winston Alfieri, co-founder of upstart pasta sauce company Sauz. We talk about pay-to-play, scaling up as the “hot kids on the block”, and how to differentiate in the crowded pasta sauce category.    Have a future guest request? A restaurant we should visit?

We've pulled together 4 of the most powerful, no-BS moments from past Body Bangin' episodes, the kind of insights that shift how you think, lead, and grow.Here's what's inside:#97 — Stars vs. Hamsters (with Robert Snook) → Are you working on "Context" or just "Content"? Robert breaks down the difference between the "Stars" who grow and the "Hamsters" stuck on the revenue wheel. Plus, the "So What?" test: why meeting standard expectations gets you zero loyalty .#96 — Be Extraordinary (with Mike Anderson) → "Nobody notices normal." Mike Anderson shares a game-changing story about a Lexus dealership that knew a customer's Starbucks order before he walked in the door. The lesson? Know the person before you know the car .#85 — Grow Your Own Technicians (with Ron Reichen & Barry Dorn) → Stop looking for "plug and play" staff. Ron and Barry explain why the best shops are growing their own talent, creating career paths beyond the bay, and the vital importance of "Internal Marketing" to keep the team you have .#66 — What Are You Willing to Tolerate? (with Andrew Batenhorst) → Mediocrity spreads like a virus. Andrew delivers a mic-drop moment on leadership: If you let people show up late or do poor work, you are setting the standard that it's okay. You have to hold the line, even when it's hard .Whether you're a shop owner, estimator, or marketer, these moments cut through the noise.

Send us a textIn this episode of Brewstilled, I'm recapping week 17 for the 2025 NFL season. For week 17, we're one week away from the end of the regular season with the playoffs coming. The Detroit Lions lost to the Vikings as Detroit has now been eliminated from playoff contention. The Cowboys, despite being eliminated from playoff contention, defeated the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day. Yet, the Cowboys are now facing what could be a soap opera-style offseason. The Ravens won against the Packers, but their playoff chances are still slim. Will the Ravens trade Lamar Jackson? The Jaguars won against the Colts as they look to secure the AFC South. Tampa Bay lost again as they now face a winner takes all game against the Panthers set to take place in week 18. I'll be recapping it here on Brewstilled with a Christmas style coffee from Starbucks as the coffee pairing. 

Mengapa kita rela membayar lebih untuk segelas kopi atau sebuah ponsel, padahal banyak alternatif yang lebih murah? Jawabannya sederhana: karena brand besar seperti iPhone dan Starbucks tidak lagi menjual fungsi, melainkan menjual identitas, status sosial, dan rasa memiliki.Di episode kali ini, kita akan membedah secara mendalam bagaimana raksasa global memanipulasi psikologi konsumen untuk menciptakan loyalitas tanpa batas. Kita akan membahas:1. Psikologi Konsumen: Apa yang terjadi di otak kita saat melihat logo tertentu?2. Strategi Global: Rahasia brand dunia tetap relevan melintasi zaman.3. Bisnis & Personal Branding: Bagaimana kamu bisa menerapkan taktik ini untuk bisnismu sendiri.

Hour 3 of the Christmas Day Best Of Conway takes a wild and wonderful turn. Tim starts off fantasizing about buying a grill just to make his own sausage, because store-bought clearly isn’t cutting it anymore. Then things get legendary as Tim sits down with Marty Krofft, the iconic TV creator behind H.R. Pufnstuf, Land of the Lost, and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, sharing stories from a lifetime of wildly imaginative television.The laughs continue when Tim recounts a very unexpected offer from a stranger during a routine Starbucks run, proving even coffee can lead to chaos. The hour wraps with Tim and Mark tackling the “Doomsday Glacier,” discussing the looming consequences of melting ice and what it could mean for the future.Holiday laughs, pop culture history, random encounters, and a little existential dread — classic Conway, Christmas style.

If you've been feeling that little tug inside — the whisper that says, “I want more than this… I deserve more than this…” — this episode is your New Year wake-up call. Because here's the truth: So many high-achieving women spend years building a good life… and then wake up wondering why they don't actually feel good in their lives. Work, kids, marriage, mental overload, never-ending to-do lists, stress eating, doom scrolling, and wine o'clock creeping earlier and earlier — it's a lot. And if you're sober curious or trying to quit drinking, that “Is this it?” feeling often gets louder. In this episode, I'm sharing the real, practical tools I used to stop settling, quit drinking, and start creating a life that actually felt good on the inside — not just one that looked good from the outside.

Kick back and get ready to dive into a juicy conversation about the wild world of hiring contractors, with Eric G and John Dudley leading the charge. These two seasoned pros dish out everything you need to know about navigating the often murky waters of contractor hiring. Think of it as your personal guide to avoiding all the potential pitfalls—like hiring that one guy who thinks he can fix your leaky roof with duct tape and a prayer. We'll cover the essentials: how to find a contractor who doesn't vanish like a magician, the red flags to watch out for, and the magical world of contracts that might as well be written in ancient hieroglyphics. Spoiler alert: it's not just about price; it's about finding someone who you can trust to not turn your home into a construction site version of a horror movie. Eric and John's banter will keep you entertained while they drop some serious knowledge. Stick around, because the second half of the show takes a sharp turn into the realm of radon with expert Dallas Jones. We're talking about that sneaky little gas that you can't see or smell but could be lurking in your home like an unwanted guest. Dallas breaks down the science behind radon, why it's suddenly the hot topic in home safety, and what you can actually do about it. You'll leave with a clearer picture of why testing is crucial, how mitigation systems work, and why ignoring radon could be the biggest mistake you make this year. So grab your headphones and get ready to transform your home improvement knowledge from zero to hero!Takeaways:Hiring contractors can be a wild rollercoaster ride, so buckle up and be prepared for some unexpected twists and turns in the process.Don't just assume your radon mitigation system is working forever; regular checks are like checking if your ex is still stalking you – necessary and potentially life-saving!If you're in the trades, you're probably earning more than your college-educated friends who are still trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives.Having a solid understanding of radon and its implications can save lives, so don't wait for your home inspector to remind you – take charge of your family's safety today!Schools are failing to prep kids for the trades, leaving them to drown in student debt while Starbucks is hiring; it's time to rethink the education system's priorities.The conversation about radon is crucial, not just for homeowners but for everyone, so let's stop sweeping it under the rug like that one pile of laundry we all pretend doesn't exist.Links referenced in this episode:aroundthehouseonline.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:Paramount PlusHGTVMTVEagle Hardware and GardenThanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at

In this episode of Read the Damn Book, host Michelle Glogovac sits down with author Julie Doar to discuss her debut cozy mystery novel, The Gallagher Place. Julie shares the inspiration behind the book, exploring themes of family drama, hidden secrets, and small-town intrigue.

It's our last regular episode of 2025 and we've got a ton of labor news for you all. We start with headlines from Starbucks, Amazon, New Seasons Grocery, Sysco, the WNBA, the University of Maine, and the nations of Portugal, Bolivia, Mexico, and Brazil. Resident doctors in the UK have gone on strike again, this time with a Labour government in power that refuses to pay them. A recent Workday Magazine piece exposes Disney as a user of prison labor in Minnesota. New York City officials are actually standing up against corporate giants Amazon and UPS for once, following recent worker movements. Finally, we discuss the implications of the possible super merger between either Netflix or Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery for workers in the entertainment industry.

Nic and Tarina are nearly ready for Christmas—especially Tarina, who loves both receiving and giving presents. Nic shares about his latest return trip home and how he got a splinter from a Starbucks stir stick. And they shout out to Chris who loves the podcast.In this episode, they talk about conflict: the difference between venting and complaining. Venting is relieving pressure—getting something off your chest. Complaining is expecting a fix. Conflict happens is when someone is venting and we think they are complaining or the opposite.When you complain it is because you want something fixed. Tarina often complains—like about how her computer isn't working right. When you vent it's because you want to be heard. Nic often vents—he just needs to Tarina listen about the ache in his shoulder.Together they discover that Nic is more people focused and Tarina is more task focused. This influences how they each approach venting versus complaining. Tarina wants things fixed and Nic will listen to discover.As Nic and Tarina wisely observe our job is to listen without judgment. This doesn't erase tension in the moment but can lead to better and more caring resolutions.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both. Your recommendation goes a long way in helping us reach more people.Also if you have questions that you want Nic and Tarina to answer, email them at info@nicbittle.com.---

The most honest year-end recap happens across a kitchen table with sneakers by the door and game film still fresh in our heads. I sat down with my daughter, Aria, to trace the real story behind her varsity leap: the extra lifts, the OC16 nerves, the bad game that shook her, and the next-day reset that proved her mindset is built for pressure. It's a tour through the grind you don't see on highlight reels—how you hold your energy when you don't start, how you become a better teammate, and how belief sneaks up on you one rep at a time.We also open the lens to school life and growing up in Hawaii. Sophomore year means tougher classes, early college prep, and the noise of high school drama. Aria keeps it simple with an inner circle she trusts, a sense of humor that won't quit, and a clear boundary around what matters. The conversation drifts into travel tournaments in Vegas, Anaheim, and Maui, the joy of Disneyland, and the feeling of being more bonded as a team after a full season together. When she talks about coaches, you hear two styles—strict and structured, calm and player-first—both shaping a competitor who adapts fast.Music ties generations together. Old-school R&B—SZA, Ashanti, Miguel—becomes our common ground, a reminder that songs with depth outlast trends. We look ahead, too: a West Coast volleyball scholarship is the dream, with a return home to Hawaii after college. And we share gratitude—family rides, Starbucks bribes, and all the quiet support that makes the loud wins possible. If you're chasing a goal, this conversation is your nudge: bounce back harder, keep your circle tight, and let consistent work do the talking.If this resonated, follow the show, drop a rating, and share it with someone who needs a push. What goal are you committing to before the new season starts?

Luis Mota breaks down how he and his partner consistently close 100+ wholesale deals per year in California's Central Valley — and why wholesaling is only the starting point. In this conversation, Luis walks through his exact lead sources, average assignment fees, how they cherry-pick rentals, and how that steady deal flow funds much bigger plays, including $80M commercial developments like gas stations, truck stops, and Starbucks. He also shares how he hires acquisitions talent, raises millions without pitching investors, and thinks about scaling from single-family deals to large commercial assets. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro1:12 - An Overview Of Luis Mota's Business3:09 - How He Decides Which Properties To Keep5:24 - Senate Bill 9 & The Numbers In His Market8:01 - How He Decides Which Lists To Market To8:49 - Their Team & Hiring/Training The Acquisitions Role11:54 - His Goals With Real Estate13:16 - DealMachine Quick Tip14:08 - How He Got Into Gas Stations And Truck Stops17:56 - Building A Dutch Bros19:35 - How To Do What Luis Is Doing21:04 - Closing Advice & How To Get In Touch23:00 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Luis Motahttps://www.instagram.com/c21realluis/ Website: Home Helpers Grouphttps://www.homehelpersgroup.com/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

This week on Yo Quiero Dinero, Jannese is joined by the brilliant and unfiltered Eduek Brooks, a Canadian financial educator and founder of Two Sides of a Dime. Sis does not play when it comes to money — and in this episode, she gets real about how she paid off $47,000 of debt in just 20 months, turned her financial rock bottom into a thriving business, and created the Surplus Method — a roadmap that's helping women all over reclaim their money power.If you've ever felt like traditional personal finance advice wasn't built with you in mind, this episode is your antidote. Eduek throws out the cookie-cutter advice and breaks down why building wealth as a woman of color requires a whole new approach — one rooted in mindset, community, and actual surplus (aka: MONEY LEFT OVER after your bills are paid!). What We Cover:The exact moment Eduek decided she was DONE being brokeWhy she still invested while paying off debt (and how it paid off big)Her no-fluff guide to building a plan you can actually stick toCelebrating small wins & avoiding burnout on your debt-free journeyThe truth about high earners still living paycheck to paycheckA breakdown of the Surplus Method (S.U.R.P.L.U.S.) and how to use itHow Eduek knew it was time to quit her 9-5 and go full-time in her bizCanadian investment accounts 101 (hello, tax-free savings!)Why mini-retirements are part of her wealth strategyQuote:“Your income builds wealth, but your surplus is what gets you to your goals.”

What if the most game-changing shift in your life is a three-letter word you've been afraid to use?In this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Will Schneider and Jon Macaskill sit down with Jim Alling—former President of Starbucks, COO of T-Mobile USA, and CEO of TOMS—to explore how the simple word yes, paired with gritty gratitude and servant leadership, can transform the way men lead, live, and relate.Jim shares how saying yes to the right things—family, values, service, and curiosity—helped him navigate massive responsibility: tens of thousands of employees, billions in revenue, and the pressure of leading globally recognized brands. He also gets honest about the real cost of hustle culture, what burnout feels like at the top, and why the most effective leaders are often the most human.In this conversation, you'll hear:• How one mentor at Starbucks taught Jim the “power of yes”• Why he chose family and his child's health over a secure corporate path• What gritty gratitude looks like when life is hard—not polished• The difference between performative leadership and servant leadership• Why men who “have it all together” often feel empty inside• How to say yes without becoming a doormat (values, boundaries, clarity)• How humility, humor, and service kept Jim grounded across Nestlé, Starbucks, T-Mobile, and TOMSIf you're a man caught between success and burnout—or you lead people and want to make a real difference without losing your soul—this episode is for you.You'll walk away with:✅ A new understanding of yes as a doorway to purpose✅ A servant-leadership blueprint that still delivers results✅ Tools to integrate gratitude into pressure and responsibility✅ Encouragement to lead as your whole self—not just your titleSponsorPeptides for Health by Mark L.

A Christmas special should feel like a living room after dark—lights on, jokes flying, and just enough chaos to keep it honest. We kick things off with the great inflatable debate, the price of holiday lights, and who still climbs the roof when the weather drops. From there it gets spicier: does Santa “lean” one way or another, and did Coca‑Cola really give him that red suit? We share a small New York moment where a stranger buys our pizza, and it launches a bigger conversation about generosity that carries through the hour.The tipping talk hits home. Some of us tip almost everyone—servers, delivery crews, furniture movers—because we've worked those jobs or just feel grateful. Others draw the line at the counter iPad for a plain coffee. We trade stories from butchers to juice bars, and wrestle with how far tipping culture should stretch without losing the point of service. It's lively, respectful, and real—exactly the conversation people are having at drive‑thrus and kitchen islands right now.We reset with music and movies: Sinatra over synths, Crosby over remixes, and a strong case that Polar Express is beautifully shot and also kind of creepy. Gifts get practical—do you give a gift card or hunt for the perfect thing?—and caroling makes a nostalgic return. The episode closes with stories from childhood Christmases: waiting behind “burglar bars” for parents to wake, the magic of a few gifts that meant everything, and how that feeling still guides us. Through all the banter and hot takes, we come back to the heart of it: faith, family, kindness, and the small-town spirit that makes December feel like home.If this one made you laugh, nod, or argue in the car, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

Episode 257: Painting Big, Thinking Bigger with Amanda Danae HilsabeckThis week on The Mike & Tony Show, we welcome Amanda Danae Hilsabeck — muralist, marketing advisor, and creative force behind Mighty Fine Artistry — who somehow also proves (once again) that Mike knows everyone and will randomly run into them in places that make no sense.Amanda takes us through her journey from jaw-dropping, hyper-realistic pet portraits (seriously… they're unfairly good) to large-scale murals and what she calls “mural activation” — where art meets branding and businesses actually learn how to use their murals instead of just… having them. From a massive American flag mural in a gym to an emotional family portrait of people who'd never all been together at once, her work is both impressive and meaningful.She also brought her hetero lifemate Aubrey, who is quietly hilarious and jumps into the mix as we spiral into conversations about perfectionism (Tony feels very seen), why unfinished art and songs haunt your soul, and why Victor, Colorado suddenly sounds like somewhere we all need to move immediately.Elsewhere in this episode:Mike ties (and wears) his first-ever bow tie thanks to YouTubeWe talk gyms, workouts, and health-tracking devices judging us silentlySports talk hits all the majors: football, basketball, baseballChipotle and Starbucks are both adding protein menus… which raises questionsWe debate whether the 1970s might be the greatest music decade ever (yes, Karen Carpenter enters the chat)And we wrap it all up with our Top Five Christmas Songs, because why not?Art, marketing, music, murals, muscle, and mild chaos — this one's got range.

https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin251219.mp3 Right-click here to download this episode (“Save link as…”). Truthout (12/8/25) This week on CounterSpin: Forbes reports the Starbucks workers strike as you might expect: “The company claims it already offers the ‘best job in retail.’ … Yet the union is demanding….” “The company says, ‘We're ready to return to the bargaining table whenever the union is.’ But as of yet, the union is holding out for the company to present a contract that meets demands….” You get the idea: One party is generous, the other is ornery. But even Forbes has to acknowledge that even as the strike “drags” into a second month, “global support grows.” Derek Seidman has been following the strike. He's a writer, researcher and historian who contributes to Little Sis and to Truthout, where he recently reported on the Starbucks strike and…what Walmart has to do with it? https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin251219Seidman.mp3 Politico (12/17/25) Also on the show: Sen. Bernie Sanders is the latest to join a broad group of more than 200 environmental and economic justice advocates that just sent a letter to Congress, calling for a moratorium on the construction of new data centers, the energy sources powering the boom (and, as some would say, predictable bust) of artificial intelligence, until, as Sanders says, democracy “has a chance to catch up.” Turns out as people learn more, opposition grows, and so, Politico notes, “The industry is taking out ads and funding campaigns to flip the narrative and put data centers in a positive light—spinning them as job creators and economic drivers rather than resource-hungry land hogs.” The letter to Congress was spearheaded by Food & Water Watch. We'll hear from the group's deputy director, Mitch Jones. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin251219Jones.mp3 Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at press coverage of Bondi Beach. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin251219Banter.mp3

It's Friday, December 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian prisoners released in Eritrea but many more remain without charges Several Christians in Eritrea, Africa were among a group of prisoners recently released, possibly because of poor health. However, seven church leaders remain in detention after two decades without a charge or a trial, reports the Christian Post. Open Doors noted this week that the release appeared to include believers, businesspeople, and politicians. The names of those freed have not been made public, but the group confirmed that none of the seven church leaders it has advocated for, over the years, were among them. The leaders have each been detained for more than 20 years without legal proceedings. In addition, Open Doors said they have not been permitted to see family members, have access to a lawyer, or appear before a court. Hebrews 13:3 says, “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” In national address, Trump says prices coming down In an 18-minute speech from the White House on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump discussed the economy. (Read the transcript here) TRUMP: “Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess, and I'm fixing it. When I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years, and some would say, in the history of our country, which caused prices to be higher than ever before, making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans. This happened during a Democrat administration, and it's when we first began hearing the word affordability.” He addressed the falling cost of goods and services since he took office in January of this year. TRUMP: “I am bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast. Let's look at the facts. Under the Biden administration, car prices rose 22% and in many states 30% or more. Gasoline rose 30 to 50%. Hotel rates rose 37%. Airfares rose 31%. “Now, under our leadership, they are all coming down and coming down fast. Democrat politicians also sent the cost of grocery soaring, but we are solving that too. The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was down 33% compared to the Biden last year. The price of eggs is down 82% since March, and everything else is falling rapidly.” Arrest warrant issued for Brown University shooter Authorities have reportedly issued an arrest warrant for a suspect in the Brown University mass shooting that occurred last week in Providence, Rhode Island, and are investigating a potential link between the school massacre and the murder of an MIT professor, reports The Western Journal. Just two days after the Brown shooting occurred, Nuno Loureiro, who taught plasma physics at MIT, was shot at his home Monday in Brookline, Massachusetts. He later died of his injuries. During the shooting at Brown, two students were killed and nine others were wounded after the gunman opened fire Saturday afternoon inside a campus classroom during final exams. The male suspect, who is 5'8” with a stocky build, escaped from the building. Army officer once ousted by COVID shot mandate now leads reintegration efforts On October 2, 2025, U.S. Army Colonel Kevin Bouren was administered the oath of office by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, formally returning Bouren to active duty. The event concluded his three-year separation from the Army, a period initiated by the Department of Defense's 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate, reports the U.S. Army's Communication Office. Bouren, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and an officer with multiple advanced degrees, had a promising career trajectory that included an assignment to the Joint Staff. In 2021, his military service was interrupted after his request for a medical exemption from the COVID shot mandate was denied. During his time away from the Army, Bouren made an unlikely career move. He began working in Christian filmmaking as a co-producer and co-founder of Set Shepherds, managing logistics for films he worked on, while also mentoring the cast and crew as a chaplain. It allowed him to apply his leadership experience in a non-military context while integrating his Christian faith. Bouren said, “As the set chaplain, getting to lead morning devotionals and minister to the cast and crew was wonderful.” In early 2025, when the call for COVID reinstatements came, he said, "God called me to military service, and there was nothing that was going to get between me and going back in the Army. I felt like I had a lot left to offer." After his formal return, Bouren was designated the Army's COVID Reinstatement Task Force Lead. He said, “Our warriors of conscience shouldn't have to navigate this alone. We're here to … support them through every step … after they were “unlawfully separated.” Chick-fil-A embraces and celebrates homosexual marriage And finally, Christian leaders say Chick-fil-A has waffled on homosexual faux marriage and diversity, equity and inclusion policies, reports Christian talk show host Todd Starnes. More than a decade ago, Christians across the nation rallied to defend the beloved fast-food restaurant chain after homosexual faux marriage activists declared war. They tried to put Chick-fil-A out of business after Dan Cathy, the son of founder Truett Cathy said in 2012 that marriage is between one man and one woman. Sadly, there's been a cultural shift at Chick-fil-A. An Orem, Utah Chick-fil-A franchise recently posted photos on its Facebook page celebrating the faux homosexual marriage of two men complete with photos of the gushing grooms. Leviticus 18:22 says, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Family Research Council called out Chick-fil-A accusing the company of duplicity. In a column in The Washington Stand, they wrote, “More than anything, what should frustrate loyal customers is that — unlike the secular corporations that promoted this agenda for decades without apology — Chick-fil-A built a business model based almost entirely on faith. And frankly, that means they should be held to a higher standard. Yes, there are local operators with diverse objectives and opinions, but for the sake of the company's broader character, those individual franchises should be held to a moral code that reflects Chick-fil-A's stated beliefs. At the very least, the vice president of DEI should be reassigned to support the Cathys' original mission, and the cancer of diversity, equity, and inclusion should be eradicated from headquarters.” The Family Research Council added, “Unlike Target or Anheuser-Busch, this company intentionally made religion a part of the chain's identity. So, it's a point of legitimate hurt and disappointment that [Chick-fil-A] keeps profiting from its Christian reputation, only to turn around and sell out those same values. Americans expect that from Nike. They expect it from Starbucks. They believed Chick-fil-A was different — and they continue to be wrong.” In recent years, Chick-fil-A stopped donating to the Salvation Army and to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes after pressure from the far-left. They also funneled $230,000 to Covenant House, an organization that hosts Drag Queen Story Hours. Conservatives were in disbelief — so much so that The Federalist felt the need to spell it out in a headline that read: “Yes, Chick-fil-A Really Is Funding a Group that Hosts Drag Queen Story Hours.” And Chick-fil-A ruffled lots of feathers when they hired a vice president of DEI. Christian talk show host Todd Starnes  said, “Traditional values have been taken off the menu at Chick-fil-A – just like the chicken salad sandwich and coleslaw.” Send your letter of objection to Susannah Frost, Chick-fil-A President, 5200 Buffington Road, College Park, GA 30349.  You can reach Chick-fil-A online through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com, and by calling Chick-fil-A between 9:00am and 10:00pm ET, Monday through Saturday, at 866-232-2040..

Snack credits are either the best little “vacation cheat code” Disney ever slipped into the Dining Plan - or a spreadsheet-powered trap that turns your family trip into a competitive sport. This week in the Court of the Disney World Resort, Len Testa and Chris Cox argue whether snack credits are a smart way to stretch your Walt Disney World dollars, or just a confusing system that rewards the deeply committed and mildly deranged. Along the way, there is Starbucks math, Epcot festival strategy, and at least one Easy-Bake oven-related conflict of interest. HIGHLIGHTS • Why snack credits can be a secret weapon at EPCOT festivals - especially when you know which items creep up toward that $10 “sweet spot.” • The maddening part of the Dining Plan - there is no consistent rule for what counts as a snack, so you're stuck hunting for the logo like it's a scavenger hunt. • The “snack credit endgame” - realizing on your last day you have a pile of credits left, and suddenly you're importing Rice Krispies treats through customs. • Using snack credits for “breakfast” (because apparently cheesecake counts as dairy and eggs) and other vacation logic that only makes sense inside the Disney bubble. • The philosophical divide - gaming the system for maximum value vs. enjoying the feeling that “past you paid for this,” so present you can just say yes and keep moving.

In this episode of Ambition 2.0, host Amanda Goetz sits down with Starbucks' Global Chief Brand Officer Tressie Lieberman to talk about the path that led her through some of the biggest brands in marketing (Pizza Hut → Taco Bell → Chipotle → Yahoo → Starbucks), the mentors who changed her trajectory, and the family system that makes it possible: a true partnership where her husband is the stay-at-home parent. They get tactical about how to divide the cognitive load, why “Sunday check-ins” are a non-negotiable, and how to navigate the social friction that still shows up when you flip traditional gender roles. In this episode, you'll learn: How Tressie went from aiming for “the next level” to owning the CMO path—and what made that shift happen Why curiosity (and doing “the little extra things”) is key in your career How to build a partnership that's equitable, not score-keeping The practical systems that reduce mental load at home How to handle judgment, weird school dynamics, and “default parent” assumptions when dad stays home If you're building an ambitious life—and want a relationship that can grow with it—this episode is a must listen. 00:00 Intro 02:53 The mindset shift that set Tressie's sights beyond “the next level”  04:02 The mentors who opened doors (including reverse mentoring a CEO) 05:36 How to stand out early: curiosity, doing extra, and teaching what's next 06:49 Advocating for yourself in executive rooms (and getting over FOE: fear of executives) 09:10 How they chose a stay-at-home partner dynamic 13:59 The at-home teamwork: check-ins, trade-offs, and letting go of perfection and control 17:45 Keeping the marriage strong: date nights, boundaries, and “one blended life” 32:45 Rapid fire: Sunday rituals, go-to Starbucks order, and ideal partnership in one word GUEST LINKS LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tressielieberman/  FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/ | TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss  Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/  https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast  SIGN UP Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/  For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/  ABOUT AMBITION 2.0 Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to “have it all” in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.
