This week we talk about fame—how it shapes perception in both pop culture and coffee. From the awkwardness of Will Smith trying to rap again to Hacienda Esmeralda's Geisha selling for record prices at Best of Panama, we dig into how notoriety creates visibility, drives value, and raises the ceiling for everyone. Fame isn't always comfortable, but it opens doors. Whether it's an actor or a coffee producer, once you're known, you change the market around you. Instead of resenting that spotlight, the challenge is to use it as inspiration—to shine light on others and expand what gets celebrated.

“Difficult doesn't mean impossible, and direction is more important than speed.” That's a quote from the wonderful interview I'm having today with my dear student, Luciana! Her story will inspire you to keep going, no matter where you are on your English journey. In this episode, Luciana, a UX designer from Brazil now living in Portugal, shares how she went from avoiding speaking English and feeling awkward in meetings… to hosting conversation groups, creating videos, and speaking confidently every single day. We talk about: - How she shifted her mindset from fear to joy - Why community and accountability are game-changers - How pronunciation work improved her fluency AND listening skills If you've ever thought you're too old to improve, or that fluency is impossible without living in an English-speaking country, Luciana is living proof that it's possible.

They moved from California to start fresh — a small town in Iowa, a charming house with room for their kids, dogs, and dreams. But the house had other plans. The first red flag? The door slammed and locked her outside on Day One. In her pajamas. No wind, no trick latch — and worse, it kept happening. Always to her. Never anyone else. But that was just the beginning. One morning, as they unpacked and settled in, their dog Ranger began fixating on the basement door, ears perked, tail stiff. Then, from the other side of that door, it began: frantic paws pounding up the stairs, sharp scratching, high-pitched barking — the sounds of a trapped dog begging to be let out. Problem was, all their dogs were upstairs. Frozen in place, they watched the door rattle as Ranger barked back, hair raised. Convinced a stray had somehow gotten inside, they opened the basement door slowly, expecting a small dog to rush out. But there was nothing. Not a sound. Not a shadow. The basement was completely empty. The phantom sounds were so real, even her skeptical husband couldn't explain it away. Over the next four years, more incidents would occur. This would not be their last encounter with the unexplained. Was it a residual haunting? The spirit of a beloved dog long gone? Or something far stranger? #GhostDog #HauntedHouse #BasementGhost #RealGhostStory #PhantomSounds #ParanormalIowa #GhostBarking #RealHaunting #UnexplainedEvents #SpiritsOfPets #IowaHaunting #MidwestParanormal Love real ghost stories?

This week we talk about the idea of “plussing the show.” The practice of constantly reinvesting in your space so it feels alive, intentional, and cared for. From small design updates to preventative maintenance, we dig into how these choices impact not just the look of a café but also the energy of the team and the experience of every guest who walks in. At its core, the conversation is about showing your guests and team members that you're paying attention. Cleanliness, organization, and little upgrades aren't just details; they're the signals that a business values quality, consistency, and care. And those signals, over time, become the real difference-maker.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! What if the worst moment of your life turned out to be the doorway into an entirely new world—one filled with spirits, voices from beyond, and an ability you never knew you had? That's exactly what happened to Shawn Warren, whose life took an unexpected turn after the traumatic ending of a major relationship. In the aftermath of heartbreak, instead of simply rebuilding, he discovered something far more profound: he could communicate with the dead. In this true story of awakening, Shawn opens up about how grief cracked something open inside him, revealing a hidden sensitivity to the spiritual realm. As he leaned into this new path, he realized he wasn't just imagining things—he was receiving messages, sensing presences, and tapping into real psychic energy that had been buried beneath the surface his entire life. What began as a personal quest for healing quickly evolved into something bigger. Today, Shawn uses his gift as a spiritual medium to help others navigate grief, trauma, and the unexplained. From connecting loved ones with the spirits they lost, to uncovering paranormal activity in homes and historic places, his journey has become a mission. In this powerful episode of The Grave Talks, Shawn shares the highs and lows of discovering his gift, the moments that convinced him it was real, and the spirits who pushed him to accept his new identity. This isn't just a ghost story—it's a story about finding purpose through pain, and how the veil between the living and the dead can sometimes be thinnest when we're at our lowest.
