Here's a special Christmas episode brought to your feed from KUOW's arts and culture podcast Meet Me Here: The holiday season means trees, cookies, family, spirituality, or presents to many. For Meet Me Here's Dyer Oxley, it means it's time to watch his favorite Christmas movie — "Die Hard." This 1988 action flick starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman has become a Christmas tradition for many. But not everyone agrees that "Die Hard" can be a Christmas tradition. Week in Review host Bill Radke is in that camp. He challenges Dyer's "Die Hard" opinion in a special holiday throwdown. Bill and Dyer debate a modern holiday question: Is "Die Hard" a Christmas movie? We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. Tap here to make a gift and keep Seattle Now in your feed.

Queens, the journey continues!

Prices keep climbing, patience keeps thinning, and the smartest car on the lot might be the one that's two or three years old. We sit down to explore why a crowd-pleaser like the VW ID. Buzz is slipping from the U.S. launch calendar, how an $80,000 price tag changes the conversation, and where EVs still struggle to deliver everyday convenience for people without home charging. From the Detroit Auto Show preview to the North American Car, Utility, and Truck of the Year buzz, we connect the headlines to real buyer decisions.Our take on affordability gets practical fast: a $5,000 difference can flip a purchase when the competing vehicle offers more features or utility. We break down why late-model off-lease cars remain the sweet spot, even as the market feels the aftershocks of COVID-era production cuts. Then we zoom out to tariffs and USMCA dynamics shaping what gets built in the U.S., and why the playing field among American, European, and Asian brands feels more level than ever. With fewer true lemons on sale, lifetime cost and ownership experience become the real story.Reliability and complexity take center stage as we examine turbo longevity, hybrid durability, and the sticker shock of modern repairs, like a $6,000 turbo swap. On the EV front, the pain points are clear: battery longevity anxiety, charging standards and adapters, and the simple truth that the five-minute gas stop still fits many lives better than public chargers. We round things out with a quick, candid guide to RV laws most people ignore, from weight limits and seatbelts to boondocking and propane safety.If you care about getting the best value for your money, understanding how policy nudges production, and choosing tech that won't bite you later, you'll find this conversation timely and useful.

Is "White Noise" too harsh for you? Does your brain feel like it's constantly vibrating with stress or ADHD chatter?In this episode of Calming Anxiety, we step away from the silence and tune into Green Noise—the specific sound frequency of nature.Unlike the static of white noise, Green Noise sits in the mid-frequency range (like wind in heavy trees or a rushing river), which research suggests is the "Goldilocks" zone for the human nervous system.Whether you need 10 minutes to hack your focus for deep work or you need to "wash" your brain of anxiety before bed, this guided "Forest Bathing" session is your reset button.In this session, we will covers:The Green Frequency: Why your nervous system prefers the sound of wind and water over pure silence.Virtual Forest Bathing: A guided visualization to transport you from your desk (or bed) to an ancient, cool forest.The "Stream" Technique: How to visualize your racing thoughts flowing away like water over smooth stones.Somatic Safety: Using sound vibration to tell your body, "You are safe now."

This short episode is a reflection on the real relationships we form with the people who sit in our chairs. I've often said that clients aren't your friends, they're your clients. And professionally, that boundary matters. But every now and then, those lines blur in ways that are deeply human.I share a couple of stories from my time behind the chair that have stayed with me for decades. One client who reminded me never to underestimate the importance of kindness, and another who became part of my family in the most unexpected way. These are reminders of the quiet role hairdressers play in people's lives, sometimes without even realising it.As the year wraps up, this episode is simply a thank you. To the clients we serve, the relationships we build, and to you for listening. Because when you stop and think about it, this industry can create some very special connections, and it's easy to take them for granted.Want MORE to help you GROW?

Why do successful people feel the most overwhelmed during the holidays? You've built something impressive, you're capable of managing complex projects and leading teams, yet the moment the holidays arrive, you're barely hanging on. You're over-functioning for everyone else, saying yes when you mean no, and by the time you collapse into bed, your mind won't stop racing about everything you still need to do tomorrow. Who is Sara Intonato? Sara Intonato is the founder of Autism Changemakers, a parent coach, consultant, and bestselling author. She's also been a yoga teacher and nervous system practitioner for over 20 years. Her work is rooted in ancient, time-tested practices from her 11 trips to India to study Ashtanga yoga, supporting parents of nonspeaking autistic children to regulate their nervous systems in high-stakes moments where safety is a concern and regulation isn't optional. Sara's Story: Why Ancient Practices Matter in Our Instant Gratification World Sara took her first trip to India in her early 20s thinking she'd have a beautiful spiritual experience and get it out of her system. Instead, she discovered that to truly master something, there's no shortcut. You can't buy a certificate or complete a weekend training. You have to show up day after day, year after year, and let the practice change you. What makes Sara different from the trendy breathwork facilitators flooding the coaching space is her commitment to teaching these practices properly. In India, she learned that advanced breathwork practices were withheld from students until they had a strong foundation because introducing them too soon would be "crazy making." They would move energy around so profoundly that students wouldn't be able to manage it. This is exactly what Sara sees happening now in mainstream wellness culture. Coaches are throwing breathwork into their programs after minimal training, parents and professionals are trying to release trauma without knowing how to regulate what comes up, and people are more dysregulated than ever. Sara brings these ancient tools to her clients and students in bite-sized pieces that are safe and effective for all levels, because who needs more chaos in their life right now? What we talk about in this episode: Why the holidays trigger grief and overwhelm for high achievers. It's not just about being busy. The holidays stir up emotions that feel inconvenient, whether it's comparing your reality to what you thought life would look like, dealing with family dynamics that activate old wounds, or simply the pressure to make everything magical while you're running on fumes. This episode normalizes that you can feel successful and still struggle during this season. The one-minute breathing practice that will ground you anywhere, anytime. Equal breathing through the nose (four counts in, four counts out) for just one minute is enough to shift your nervous system from reactive to regulated. No special equipment, no mantras, no perfect conditions required. Sara explains exactly how to do this practice and why engaging your throat slightly (like you're gargling) activates your vagus nerve and creates deeper regulation. Why you can't help anyone when you're dysregulated. Sara works with parents managing aggressive behaviors and safety concerns with their children. The homework is always the same: regulate yourself first. When you're dysregulated, you escalate everyone around you. When you ground yourself, you create space for co-regulation. This applies whether you're parenting, leading a team, or trying to survive Christmas dinner with your in-laws. The ice cube trick that interrupts spiraling thoughts instantly. When you can't escape the room or take a minute to breathe, grab some ice cubes. Hold them for one minute. The intense sensation forces you into presence because you literally can't think about anything else. It's a pattern interrupt that brings you back to your body so you can respond instead of react. How to train your mind to concentrate using Zen Buddhist meditation. Set a timer for five minutes and count each breath (inhale one, exhale two, up to ten, then start over). Every time your mind wanders to Aunt Patty's comment or your to-do list, go back to one and start again. Don't be surprised if you don't get past two. This isn't about perfection, it's about observing where your mind goes without judgment and teaching it to concentrate on one thing: your breath. Why reactivity is destroying our ability to make good decisions. We live in an Amazon Prime culture where everything is instant. But this reactivity is getting in the way of our functioning. We think every thought and feeling requires immediate action. This practice teaches your nervous system that it's okay to sit with discomfort, to not scratch the itchy nose, to let your foot fall asleep during meditation. Everything will pass. You won't die from waiting. The real reason you can't feel holiday magic (and it's not the circumstances). Holiday magic is just presence. That's it. But how can you possibly enjoy being here now when your mind is in five different places? Sara shares how she creates magic by putting on Christmas music, baking, and allowing herself to just be in the moment because life will be plenty busy in January. The magic isn't external fairy dust, it's choosing to be present. What your kids will actually remember about this season. It's not how many vegetables they ate or how organized the gift wrapping was. They'll remember how you felt. Your energy is what people experience from you. If you're emanating stress and overwhelm, that's what everyone will carry from their interactions with you. The quality of your life, your relationships, your work changes drastically when you take the time to regulate yourself. This episode is for you if you've ever: Felt like you're barely hanging on through the holidays, one comment away from snapping Snapped at your kids or partner after a long day, then felt guilty for not being present Numbed with food, wine, or scrolling because slowing down feels uncomfortable Thought "I don't have time for mindfulness or nervous system practices" Believed meditation and breathwork are too complicated or not for people like you Been the strong one everyone leans on while you're quietly crumbling inside Said yes to holiday commitments when you meant no because it feels easier Collapsed into bed exhausted but your mind won't stop racing about tomorrow Wondered "how much longer can I keep this up?" Known you should take better care of yourself but always run out of time and energy Built a life people admire but feel like you're missing the magic everyone else seems to experience Felt reactive and stressed, robbing yourself and your family of presence and connection How to Stop Being Reactive and Start Being Present Here's what most people miss about nervous system regulation: they think it requires complicated practices, special training, or hours of time they don't have. So they do nothing. They stay in reactivity, they over-function for everyone else, and they wonder why the holidays feel so overwhelming instead of magical. But Sara's work proves that regulation doesn't require perfection or massive time investments. It requires one minute. Four counts in, four counts out. Ice cubes in your hands when you can't escape the room. Counting your breath when your mind is spinning. The cost of staying dysregulated isn't just that you feel stressed. It's that your children remember mom as a ball of stress. Your colleagues remember your overwhelm, not your competence. Your partner experiences your reactivity, not your love. You rob yourself of the presence and connection you're craving because you think you don't have time to regulate. Ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling present? If you're reading this and recognizing yourself, if you've been running on fumes for so long that you don't even remember what regulated feels like, it's time to stop. The Congruency Audit is where we look at the gap between the success you've built on the outside and what you're actually feeling on the inside. We'll identify the exact patterns keeping you stuck in over-functioning and reactivity, the wounds driving your need to be strong for everyone else, and what it's going to take for you to finally create success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about understanding why you keep saying yes when you mean no, why you can't give yourself permission to rest, and what needs to shift so you can finally stop running and start being present.

2025 is about to be in the books, and for many real estate investors, it was a challenging year. But at Sunrise Capital, it's been a year of massive growth, disciplined pivots, and, for me, purpose: my wife and two sons.  We've acquired $80,000,000 in new assets this year—irreplaceable real estate that we couldn't pass up. We've had to step away from other deals when the numbers didn't pencil, and in the end, we're monumentally proud of what we've accomplished. So what's next? I have a big announcement at the end of this episode—and this is the first time I'm going public with it. My life, and the lives of my family, are about to change as we do something I've been dreaming about for over a decade. This is what it was all for. But before that, I'll share the lessons we learned in 2025 that shaped our business and buying decisions, why capital raising wasn't as hard as many sponsors think it is (if you operate the way we do), and why we didn't have to change our underwriting during some of the most challenging years of investing in decades. I'm sharing the wins and losses, both personal and professional, on today's show. Thank you for a wonderful 2025. 2026 is going to be a little…different.  Insights from today's episode: A huge announcement that has been over a decade in the making  How we acquired $80M in irreplaceable assets and raised the money for it in 2025 The discipline you need to walk away from a deal that goes sideways (you won't regret it) How to raise capital the right way, and why you should stop selling yourself (and your deals) so hard The commitments I'm making in 2026 (you can keep me accountable!)  Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

The Day a Cookie Business Changed How My Daughter Saw Money After watching a kid biz launch challenge our eight-year-old decided she wanted to start a cookie business. She figured out recipes, canvased the neighborhood, and delivered her first batch of cookie dough. By the end of the day, she had a stack of cash in her hand and stars in her eyes. https://www.youtube.com/live/yzjkVUl38HM Then we sat down at the table. “Okay,” I said, “you didn't just make $100 you made $100 of income. Now we're going to give, save, and spend.” Suddenly, that pile of money shrank. Ten dollars to giving. Forty to saving. Fifty left to spend. And right there, without a textbook or a classroom, she began to understand what real money management feels like: choices, trade-offs, and the realization that dollars follow value. That's a picture of how to teach kids about money in real life—not as an abstract idea, but as something they can see, touch, and live.

Why Learning How to Teach Kids About Money Matters More Than Ever When parents ask us how to teach kids about money, they're not really asking about dollars and cents. They're asking: How do I raise financially responsible kids? How do I help them avoid the money mistakes I made? How do I give my child a wealthy mindset, not a consumer mindset shaped by social media and advertising? In this article, we are going to walk with you through: How to teach your kids about money from a young age Simple money lessons for kids that start before they earn their first dollar How chores, jobs, and entrepreneurship help kids understand that dollars follow value How to teach kids about saving and spending, delayed gratification, and lifestyle choices How early money experiences shape your child's financial mindset, from little kids to teens to adult children By the end, you'll have practical scripts, examples, and frameworks you can start using today—whether your kids are 6, 16, or already out of the house. How to Teach Your Kids About Money From a Young Age If you ask us, there is no such thing as “too early” when it comes to teaching children financial literacy. From the moment they see you tap a card at the store, they're forming beliefs about money: Is money scarce or abundant? Is it something we talk about, or something we avoid? Does it control us, or do we steward it? We live in a world that constantly pushes kids toward consumption—commercials, YouTube, TikTok, billboards. A child who has never seen a Barbie Dream House commercial would be perfectly happy playing with pots and pans in the kitchen. The ad didn't just sell a toy; it told them what “ happiness” should look like. If we're not intentionally teaching kids good money habits, the culture is. That's why the earlier you start, the more “normal” healthy money habits feel. It's not a lecture—it's just how our family does life. How Early Money Experiences Shape Your Child's Financial Mindset Bruce often shares how his grandparents saved ration tickets from World War II on the windowsill for decades. They washed plastic forks and cups after every big holiday meal. Those early experiences created a deep, almost subconscious scarcity mindset. Later, his parents went through the inflation of the 1970s and the loss of a family business. All of that shaped how he views risk, saving, and spending even today. Your kids are also absorbing your story right now: How you react when an unexpected bill comes in Whether you complain constantly about money Whether you live in chronic anxiety or quiet confidence You don't have to be perfect. But you do need to be honest, consistent, and intentional. That's how parents can model healthy money habits for their children—far more powerfully than any lecture. Teaching Kids Delayed Gratification With Money: Saving First, Spending Later One of the most important money habits for kids that starts before they earn their first dollar is simply this: Save first, then spend what's left. It's the marshmallow test with dollars. Do I eat the one marshmallow now, or wait and get two later? With our kids, we use a simple three jar system for kids: give, save, spend. 10% to giving 40% to saving 50% to spending We started this when they were very young with transparent jars, so they could see money growing in each category. Anytime they earned money—from chores, business, or gifts we chose to include—we walked through the same process: Give first (generosity as a default, not an afterthought) Save second (for long-term wealth building and investing) Spend last (on wants and short-term goals) Over time, this shifted their thinking: “If I want $50 to spend, I have to earn $100.” “My savings isn't just future spending; it's capital for making more money.” That's teaching kids the difference between saving and spending in a way they can feel—not just understand intellectually. Teaching Kids About Saving and Spending: The Pain of a Bad Purchase For one of our daughters, the biggest teacher has been buyer's remorse. She's our spender. She'll get $25 and want to spend it immediately. Then, the next day, she sees something else she wants more, or realizes Christmas is coming and she wants to buy gifts for family—and that same $25 is gone. We don't shield her from that discomfort. We want her to feel: “Every dollar I spend here is a dollar I cannot spend there.” “My choices today affect my options tomorrow.” That's how to help your child avoid lifestyle creep and overspending later in life. It starts with small, low-stakes decisions that train their decision-making muscles long before those decisions involve cars, houses, and credit cards. How Chores and Earning Money Teach Kids Responsibility We don't pay our kids for basic chores. Chores—like cleaning your room, helping with dishes, cleaning up toys—are simply part of contributing to the family. That's how to raise financially responsible kids and emotionally responsible kids. But we do pay for above-and-beyond work that creates extra value: Vacuuming the whole house Cleaning all the bathrooms Larger projects we'd otherwise pay someone else to do That's when we start teaching kids that dollars follow value. Money is the result, not the cause. Bruce grew up mowing lawns, returning baseballs at the ball field, and collecting bottles for deposit money. No one handed him an allowance; he learned that if he wanted something, he had to figure out what value he could create in the world to earn it. That's also how chores and earning money teach kids responsibility: They recognize needs around them They see the connection between effort, value, and income They start to think entrepreneurially You're not just teaching kids about money management. You're teaching them how to think like producers, not just consumers. Helping Kids Develop a Wealth Mindset, Not a Consumer Mindset One of the biggest tensions today is balancing scarcity and abundance. On one side, there's fear-based scarcity: “We can't spend anything.” “We can never enjoy life.” “We must hoard every dollar.” On the other side, there's consumption-based scarcity: “If I don't buy the trip, the car, the concert, I'm missing out.” “I'm not enough unless I have more, do more, go more.” Both are fear-based. A wealth mindset says: I can enjoy life within wise limits. I choose meaningful experiences, not constant upgrades. I build a cash-flowing asset base that funds my lifestyle. This is where using Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow game to teach kids about money can be powerful. It shows them: Income vs Expenses Assets vs Liabilities The goal of building cash-flowing assets until passive income exceeds expenses In other words, how to give your child a wealthy mindset not a consumer mindset—by showing them a bigger vision for money than just “get paid, then spend it.” Teaching Teens About Debit Cards and Digital Money Today, money is more invisible than ever. Tap your phone. Click a button. Apple Pay, Google Pay, one-click checkout—no pain, no pause, no counting cash. For teens, that can be dangerous. Teaching teens about debit cards and digital money means pulling back the curtain: Show them their bank statement regularly. Connect each purchase to the actual hours of work it took to earn it. Talk about overdrafts, fraud, and security—not to scare them, but to equip them. With our 14-year-old,
