Running a bar without AI is like competing with chains using paper and pencil. Big brands spend millions on tech to shave a few points off costs. Independents can't do that, but AI now delivers the same advantages at a fraction of the cost. Bar owners lose hours every week on scheduling, inventory, and marketing. That's time that should go to guests. AI won't replace hospitality, it frees you to focus on it. That's why savvy operators are paying attention. With the right setup, AI can reclaim 10 to 20 hours a week, cut expenses, and transform how independents run their bars. Learn how to make AI your collaborator, not your substitute, with practical tools you can use today.  

For more than a decade, scientists have been puzzling over what was causing billions of starfish to dissolve into piles of white goo. Sea star wasting disease has ravaged starfish populations, wiping out 90% of the once common sunflower sea star. Now, researchers have finally identified the culprit. Madeleine Finlay speaks to Dr Melanie Prentice, one of the team to crack the case. She explains the impact the disease has had on the marine environment, how they found the pathogen responsible, and what it means for sea stars' recovery.

To run a bar without the vision for Gen Z would be to develop a menu blindly. They spend less than Millennials did, yet spend when they do buy. They consult their phone on TikTok rather than Google. And when their discretionary spend comes in at $450 billion, they're quickly becoming the generation that makes or breaks your bar. That's why forward-thinking bar owners are listening. Gen Z isn't just another clientele group, they're redefining the economics, culture, and brand of nightlife. Learn what makes Gen Z tick, and discover how to create an experience that draws them in, wins their trust, and brings them back.

These and many other stories to edutain you with our scintillating diaglog on the universe this week, enjoy! Getting a handle on their pandemic

Having a bar with no sense of identity is running darts with eyes closed.You might hit the drinks, menu, even the venue itself, but it is only a building with booze within without culture.That's why successful bars design everything around a solid, authentic identity. An identity that speaks to their community, entices the proper guests and employees, and automatically influences decisions without micromanaging.Today on this show, I'm going to reveal to you how to generate that type of culture where your bar becomes a place to belong rather than to drink at.The outcome: rather than compete on price or follow trends, you'll create a stand-out business that scales with reliability and endures.

Slow nights followed by slammed weekends can make running a bar feel unpredictable. But those swings aren't random.  They're seasonal patterns hiding in your sales data.Miss them and you'll end up overstaffed on quiet nights, scrambling on busy ones, and sitting on inventory nobody's ordering. In this episode, I'll show you how to spot those patterns, plan around them, and actually use them to your advantage.The result: instead of guessing your way through the year, you'll have a clear plan that keeps your team balanced, your costs tight, and your profits steady no matter the season.

Picture this: it's Friday night, the bar's packed, and your walk-in cooler decides to quit.Beer's getting warm, food's going bad, and you're suddenly on the phone begging for emergency service, knowing you'll pay through the nose if anyone even shows up. In this episode, we're talking about how to stop that nightmare before it starts. You'll learn a simple daily inspection routine, smart maintenance scheduling, and vendor relationship hacks that keep your equipment running and your profits safe. Listen in and turn “Oh no” moments into “Glad we planned for that. 

Some nights, the problem isn't staffing or service, it's that the seats simply aren't filled. Early-week shifts can drain profits fast, and relying on deep discounts often does more harm than good. In this episode, we'll walk through five proven, no-cost strategies to turn slow nights into high-performing ones.

In September, Brad will be seen in the movie Spinal Tap II: The End Continues and if this is not enough, there is also the entrepreneurial side to Brad – he has just come out with a hot sauce called DEATH BY DWARF.

Most bar owners focus so hard on pricing and promotions, they miss the real reason customers come back or don't. It's not always about the money. It's how people feel when they walk in, order a drink, and interact with your team.

Most bars have no idea what it really costs to bring in a new customer. And if they are tracking it, they're usually missing half the expenses. This episode breaks down a simple way to calculate your true customer acquisition cost so you're not just guessing.  

In this episode we celebrate some milestones and answer emails from Amy and John.  We discuss the 10-year anniversary of Portfolio Charts, our one millionth download and Mary's good news about her CASA work.  Then we talk about the parable of the Starfish Thrower, go on requested rant about personal finance hoarding cultures and financially privileged people looking for pats on the head and their willing AUM facilitators, and talk about how real happiness and legacies are created. And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterPortfolio Charts 10-year Anniversary Post:  Celebrating 10 Years of Portfolio Charts – Portfolio ChartsNarrative Psychology:  How to tell stories that give you meaning | Jane Goodall, Terry Crews & Dan McAdamsParable of the Starfish Thrower:  Starfish Story (aka The Star Thrower)ChooseFI Pod #508:  508 | 5% SWR, Revealed Preferences, and the 3 Stories | Frank VasquezBringing Up The Baileys:  Melissa Bailey (@bringingupthebaileys_) • Instagram photos and videosCome And Get It:  Comeandgetit | FacebookBreathless AI-Bot Summary:What does it mean to create a meaningful legacy? Is it the money you leave behind, or something far more valuable that transcends financial wealth?As we celebrate our millionth podcast download and the 10th anniversary of Portfolio Charts—a revolutionary tool that transformed how DIY investors analyze diverse assets—we're reflecting on what truly matters in personal finance and beyond. The real highlight comes from Mary's work as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, where after three years of dedicated advocacy for five children in foster care, four were adopted into the same loving home. This embodiment of the "Starfish Thrower" parable reminds us that while we can't save everyone, making a difference for even one person creates ripples of meaningful change.We take a hard look at the wealth inequality permeating financial media, where those with millions often dominate conversations while seeking validation for their already-secure positions. This echo chamber creates distorted priorities and revealed preferences toward death-focused wealth accumulation rather than life-focused enjoyment. In contrast, we share the story of Melissa—a woman who overcome tremendous hardships including foster care and the loss of a child, yet leads a joy-filled life despite financial constraints. Her legacy isn't measured in money but in traditions passed between generations while everyone is still alive.Our portfolio reviews show mostly positive performance across various investment strategies, but the numbers pale in comparison to the real message: wealth isn't just what you have, but what you do with it. Whether you're struggling financially or blessed with abundance, your impact on others will always be your most valuable asset.Join us as we explore what it means to live richly—not just by accumulating wealth, but by creating meaning.

Veronica Deraleau is a financial coach, author, opera singer, financial technology manager, and U.S. Army Veteran. During the COVID pandemic, when performing artists abruptly found their livelihoods on hold, Veronica felt called to share her personal finance knowledge. In ‘Making Money Is Simple,' Veronica details the actions and mindset it took to pay off over $100,000 of debt in three years on a median salary. In her signature Money Simple coaching program, Veronica helps professionals and creatives stop going paycheck to paycheck so they can provide an abundant life for their families and start living out their dreams. A classically trained soprano, Veronica started her career serving as a musician in the US Army Reserve, where she performed across the country and abroad at cultural and political events for diverse audiences, including a President and Pope. She continues to sing today across a variety of classical genres, including opera, concert, choral, orchestral, recital, and film.Upon graduating during the Great Recession, Veronica began working for a start-up and was hooked. Since then, she's built her career in the commercial private markets, working for early-stage companies across various industries: alternative energy, real estate, private equity, and financial technology. One of her great joys has been supporting early talent in navigating and developing their careers.Veronica lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Mike, and their dogs, Phil and Minka.Buy the book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGGSMWRYVisit the website and blog: https://makingmoneyissimple.com/Connect with Veronica on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makingmoneyissimple/Connect with Veronica on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/veronica-deraleau/For your listeners: Please follow me on IG and DM the word 'STARFISH' for a free budget reviewFor more on Veronica's singing: https://www.veronicaderaleau.com/Connect and tag me at:https://www.instagram.com/realangelabradford/You can subscribe to my YouTube Channel herehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDU9L55higX03TQgq1IT_qQFeel free to leave a review on all major platforms to help get the word out and change more lives!
