Welcome to the latest episode of L.I.F.T.S, your bite-sized dose of the Latest Industry Fitness Trends and Stories. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal sit down with David Sherman-Presser to unpack why the fitness industry is rapidly becoming a media business, and what that means for gym owners, operators, and brands trying to stay relevant in a creator-driven economy. They explore how attention, trust, and audience ownership are now just as important as equipment and square footage, why gyms are increasingly competing with creators rather than other gyms, and how platforms like YouTube are reshaping how fitness businesses are discovered, validated, and scaled. From validating gym concepts online before investing millions, to understanding how long-form content builds trust at scale, this conversation breaks down what it really takes to build a modern fitness brand in 2026 and beyond. In this episode, you'll learn: Why gyms are becoming media companies. How creators are changing the competitive landscape for fitness businesses. Why YouTube is a critical platform for trust and discovery. How gym owners can validate concepts digitally before scaling. The role of long-form content in building audience and authority.

660. Today we're joined by writer and cultural historian Brian Fairbanks, author of “Wizards: David Duke, America's Wildest Election, and the Rise of the Far Right.” In this book, Fairbanks delivers a vivid account of David Duke's 1991 run for governor of Louisiana — a campaign that shocked the country and revealed how extremist politics could slip into the mainstream. Through sharp reporting and a storyteller's eye, he reconstructs the chaos, the media frenzy, and the deeper social tensions that made that election a turning point in modern American politics. Fairbanks brings that same clarity to a very different American saga in “Willie, Waylon, and the Boys: How Nashville Outsiders Changed Country Music.” Here he traces the rise of the outlaw movement, showing how Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and their circle pushed back against Nashville's rigid studio system and reshaped the sound and soul of country music. He explores the rebellion, the artistry, and the cultural moment that allowed these musicians to redefine authenticity and leave a lasting imprint on American music. Beyond these two major works, Brian Fairbanks has built a reputation as a writer who connects individual stories to the larger forces shaping American life.

Heloise Hulse Cruzat wrote an article on the history of the Ursuline Nuns in New Orleans.      You have been told in eloquent periods of the founding of New Orleans, of its subsequent development, and I am to be the humble interpreter of another intimate chapter of its history: THE SHARE WOMEN TOOK IN ITS ESTABLISHMENT.      Can we mention the French colonial days without recalling the URSULINES, who by their unfaltering courage and their steady and efficient work, incorporated their history into that of our fair city.      Bienville realized that New Orleans would never attain his dream of greatness without education, and especially such an education of the female youth as would give worthy wives and mothers to the colonists. With this end in view, he intrusted to the Jesuit, Father de Beaubois, the care of choosing these educators. How successfully this mission was accomplished by his selection of the Ursulines of Rouen, the two past centuries have demonstrated.       A contract was signed by the Company of the Indies and the Ursulines, approved by brevet signed by Louis XV, and on February 22nd, 1727, Mother St. Augustin, Tranchepain, with eight professed nuns, a novice and two postulants sailed on the Gironde from L'Orient. This week in Louisiana history. January 9, 1877 Both Democrat Francis T. Nicholls and Republican Stephen B. Packard claim victory in election for governor; both take oath of office. This week in New Orleans history. Andrew Jackson arrived on board the steamer “Vicksburg” on January 8, 1840 at ten o'clock in the morning, landing at the Carrollton wharf, where an immense throng had assembled to welcome “the most distinguished citizen of the country.”  The specific reason for his presence was that a cornerstone was to be laid, commemorating his victories in the Battle of New Orleans, a quarter of a century before. General Jackson laid the cornerstone in the Place d'Armes, on January 9, 1840. It was not until some years later that the monument decided upon was the one of Jackson, designed by Clark Mills, which stands in the center of the ancient parade grounds for the troops. This statue has been called the “center piece of one of the finest architectural sittings in the world.” (NOPL) This week in Louisiana. January 10, 2026.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday, Heal Squad. Today's dish comes courtesy of The Wizard of Oz, the Tin Man, and a surprisingly useful lesson about hearts, attitude, and being all in. Why showing up with joy matters more than people realize. How talent helps, timing helps, but attitude might matter most. Stories from The Wizard of Oz, Jerry Maren (the original Lollipop Kid), classic movie sets, and what happens when you choose to be on the “sunshine committee” instead of keeping score. Why some people keep missing opportunities, why negativity weighs everything down, and how being present, positive, and fully in can quietly change the entire trajectory of a life. Wherever this Saturday finds you, may this episode remind you that being all in still counts for something.

James Faye Hall, better known as Roy Hall, was born in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, in 1921.  He died in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee in 1984.  Between those dates is a story about a hillbilly boogie pianist who played for Uncle Dave Macon in a traveling version of the Grand Ole Opry as a child, formed his own hillbilly/R&B band. He found success in Detroit, worked as a session musician for such Nashville stars as Webb Pierce, Marty Robbins and Red Foley, and was on the very cusp of stardom as a rockabilly act in the 1950s, only to have it slip away from him. Oh, by the way, he's also credited by many to have co-written “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On,” which made Jerry Lee Lewis a rock and roll legend.  Join us as we tell the fascinating story of Roy Hall, another one of the Stories of Appalachia. Subscribe to the Stories podcast wherever you get your favorite podcasts so you never miss any of our stories.   Thanks for listening.

In this week's episode, both our storytellers come face to face with the growing power—and pitfalls—of artificial intelligence.Part 1: When AI takes over comedian Kyle Gillis's job, he takes it personally. Part 2: While researching an AI model, engineer Omiya Hassan discovers one major problem: the amount of energy it's consuming. Kyle Gillis is a Brooklyn-based comedian, musician, and Guinness World Record holder from Atlanta, GA. His stand-up highlights the contradictions of modern life—work that feels meaningless, a culture obsessed with productivity, and the absurd ways people cope with both. His act blends grounded emotional honesty with controlled chaos. Dr. Omiya Hassan, born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boise State University. She is also the principal investigator and director of her research lab, "LPiNS: Low-Power Integrated Circuits and Embedded Systems," where her team's primary research focuses on solving the energy-demand problem of Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerators and high-computation hardware. She completed her PhD in 2023 from the University of Missouri, focusing on building power-efficient AI hardware architectures for biomedical applications. Dr. Hassan also holds a professional degree in Music majoring in Vocal and Classical South-Asian Music. If you tune in to the national radio and national TV of Bangladesh, you might hear or see her sing the songs of Tagore. Besides teaching and researching at Boise State, you can find her hiking in the mountains, sharing cold sandwiches with her friends, or trying to ski but falling miserably with no shame during weekends.

Couple's Playbook for 2026: Setting the Frequency for Your Year It's that time of year when the Smith family pauses, reflects, and intentionally sets the tone for the year ahead. In this episode, Chris and Melissa walk through exactly how they approach vision boards, words (or frequencies) for the year, and why doing this work up front creates so much more ease as the year unfolds. While they share what this looks like in their own family, their hope is that it gives you practical inspiration you can adapt for yours — no matter what time of year you're listening. They talk about why your "word for the year" is more than just a cute idea — it's a frequency you choose to live at. A lens that shapes what you notice, what you prioritize, and how you show up when life gets busy or hard. Chris explains how reflecting on the past year, looking ahead, and then choosing a word that truly embodies who you want to be can completely change how a year unfolds. Melissa shares a powerful exercise they did with their kids — a timed writing prompt asking "What do I want in 2026?" — and how repeating it helped everyone move past surface-level answers into more imaginative, honest desires. They also explain how they invite their kids into the process by asking what the family could use most this year, then choosing a shared family frequency together. You'll hear Melissa unpack her word for the year — Gather — and how, once she leaned into it, the meaning expanded far beyond what she initially expected. From gathering people, to gathering at church, to gathering growth through using her voice, she shares how the word already seems to be "finding her." Chris shares his word for the year — Partner — and why he's choosing to live more fully as a committed partner in every area of life: with God, with Melissa, with their kids, with their team, and with the people they serve. They talk honestly about how words create identity, how telling people your word builds accountability, and why allowing others to support your focus is one of the hidden gifts of this practice. They also address the real-life parenting side of this process — what to do when kids resist, how to balance support with challenge, and why it's okay if your child's vision board is one picture taped to a page. The goal isn't perfection — it's participation. The episode closes with powerful stories of vision boards turning into reality, sometimes immediately, sometimes years later — and a reminder that choosing a word, a frequency, or a focus plants a seed of possibility. One that has a way of growing when you give it attention.   LINKS: All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.  Links For This Episode: http://familybrand.com/playbook Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – Why this is the Smith family's favorite time of year 01:00 – Reflecting on the year and setting the tone for 2026 02:00 – Why Chris thinks of words as "frequencies" 03:00 – Choosing your frequency by reflecting on the past and future 04:00 – Melissa's writing exercise: "What do I want in 2026?" 05:00 – How repeating the exercise unlocked deeper clarity 06:00 – Inviting kids into choosing a family word 07:00 – Melissa reveals her word for the year: Gather 08:00 – Unpacking what "Gather" really means 09:00 – How sharing your word invites support and alignment 10:00 – The shower hack: writing your word every day 11:00 – Creating cues so your word doesn't get forgotten 12:00 – Vision boards as visible reminders 13:00 – Using word definitions and etymology for deeper meaning 14:00 – Chris shares his word for the year: Partner 15:00 – What it means to live as a committed partner 16:00 – Telling people your word to create accountability 17:00 – When kids resist the process (and how to handle it) 18:00 – Support vs. challenge in parenting 19:00 – Why imperfect vision boards still matter 20:00 – Stories of vision boards becoming reality 22:00 – Immediate results vs. long-term seeds 23:00 – Final encouragement: choose your frequency and plant the seed    

What if the clearest wisdom for living well only shows up at the end of life?   After spending 15 years in hospice care, one nurse noticed a haunting pattern: when people are dying, the masks come off—and they all say remarkably similar things. Regrets.    Realizations. Truths they wish they'd acted on sooner.   In this episode, Bob & Linda unpack the 7 life lessons repeated again and again by people on their deathbeds—and how we can live differently now, without waiting for "someday." This isn't about morbid curiosity. It's about clarity.   "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." — Psalm 90:12 (NLT)   What You'll Learn 1. "I should have loved more—and differently" Why winning arguments often costs us relationships—and how to choose kindness before it's too late. 2.

A simple blog that has since transformed into Youth Ki Awaaz (Voice of the Youth): India's largest citizen media platform, where more than 200,000 young people write about underrepresented issues every month. From stories of bringing electricity to forgotten villages to launching national climate campaigns, Tewari reveals how authentic storytelling can build individual and collective agency for change.

Natalie Brunell sits down with her #1 guest, retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, to unpack an uncomfortable reality: America's national security depends on supply chains tied to China.
