Can you make espresso with room-temperature water and sound waves? Dr Francisco Trujillo and his team at UNSW have developed an entirely new brewing process that uses ultrasound to produce espresso-strength coffee in under three minutes, while using around one-quarter of the energy of a traditional espresso machine. In this episode, Francisco takes us inside the science of ultrasonic coffee. We unpack acoustic cavitation, the microscopic bubbles that pit and fracture coffee grounds, why tamping matters far less in this system, and how the team built the technology into something that still looks surprisingly close to a normal espresso machine. We also get into the taste test. One hundred regular coffee drinkers compared the ultrasonic brew with traditional espresso, with no significant difference found across the key sensory measures. Francisco explains where the drinks do differ, including crema, bitterness and aftertaste, and why the biggest opportunity may not be your local café at all, but large-scale ready-to-drink coffee production. If you're new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day: It's Just Coffee!

If you haven't yet watched Apple TV's surprise hit show "Widow's Bay," here's another reason to go for it: it's got some pretty rad cars. So rad that Torch got in touch with the team responsible for sourcing them to get ALL the juicy details about how the production sausage gets made

Season two of Netflix's anthology series “Beef” received 16 Emmy Award® nominations, including recognition for its bold cinematography and meticulously crafted sound. In this conversation, creator, showrunner, writer, director, and executive producer Lee Sung Jin — who also goes by Sonny Lee — joins members of his creative team to discuss how they gave the second season its own distinct identity while still retaining the DNA of the show. “The dialogue is kind of musical in a way. We are chasing these rises and falls to land a joke or a dramatic moment. And we all collectively feel it. And so that's what's great is that I think most teams would be like, ‘Sonny, you're crazy. You don't need to spend any more hours on this.' But they're like, ‘Ugh, you know what? We know what you mean and it can be a little bit better.' … I think whether in the mix, or with James [Laxton] in color [grading], what I love about this team is that we want it to be perfect. And it's really hard to do that on TV time and TV resources.” —Lee Sung Jin, Creator, Showrunner, Writer, Director, and Executive Producer, “Beef” Joining Lee Sung Jin for this conversation about “Beef” season 2: - James Laxton, ASC – Director of Photography - Christopher Gomez, MPSE – Supervising Sound Editor - Penny Harold, CAS – Re-recording Mixer - Andy Lange, CAS – Re-recording Mixer Be sure to check out “Beef,” now streaming on Netflix in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

Just up the A3 lies the Hindhead Tunnel — a route many of us now drive through without a second thought. But who remembers the days before it opened? The long queues at the Hindhead traffic lights, buildings blackened by exhaust fumes, and the old A3 winding its way around the Devil’s Punch Bowl. Fifteen years on, the tunnel continues to provide safer, smoother and faster journeys for tens of thousands of motorists every day. Jo Gray meets Dominic Holyoak from National Highways, one of the dedicated team working behind the scenes around the clock to keep the tunnel running safely.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Trillium Show, I'm joined by my wife and business partner, Amanda Hall, for the first episode in a four-part series about what it really takes to run a plastic surgery practice together.Over the next few episodes, we're pulling back the curtain on the business side of medicine: how we started, what we got wrong, what we've learned the hard way, and how our roles have evolved over the last 11 years.This episode starts with what may be the hardest part of owning a practice: hiring and managing people.Amanda and I talk through our first hires, what we were looking for in the beginning, why we learned to be slow to hire and quick to fire, and how much a bad fit can affect the entire team. We also get into the role of an office manager, why policies and procedures have to be built from the inside, how hard delegation can be for two type A people, and what we look for now when someone applies to work in our office.This is a candid conversation about employee management, team culture, leadership mistakes, and the reality that people can make or break a business.If you're a physician, surgeon, business owner, or someone thinking about starting your own practice, this episode is a look at the lessons we wish we had understood sooner.

Send us Fan MailHe Said, She Said: Is It the Tactic or the Team?When a marketing strategy underperforms, what's really to blame? The tactic itself, or the team responsible for executing it?In this solo episode of From the Yellow Chair, Crystal tackles one of the most common frustrations business owners face: investing in marketing efforts that don't deliver the results they expected. From social media ads and promotions to sales processes and team buy-in, she breaks down why successful strategies aren't one-size-fits-all and why execution often matters just as much as the tactic.You'll learn how to evaluate whether poor performance stems from budget, timing, messaging, team readiness, leadership, or process gaps. Crystal also shares practical insights on coaching teams, creating accountability, tracking KPIs, and building alignment across marketing, operations, customer service, and field teams.If you've ever wondered whether you should abandon a marketing strategy or double down on improving execution, this episode will help you ask the right questions before making your next move.In this episode:Why marketing tactics work differently for every businessThe hidden role team execution plays in campaign successHow leadership influences marketing performanceCommon mistakes that sabotage promotions and offersThe importance of coaching, accountability, and repetitionKey metrics every business owner should be trackingQuestions to ask before deciding a strategy has failedBecause sometimes it isn't the tactic.

In this episode of Macon It, we sit down with Macon-Bibb County's Chief Information Officer, Tekquell Watson, to learn more about the person leading technology and innovation for our local government. A U.S. Air Force veteran with more than 25 years of experience in information technology, cybersecurity, and public service, Tekquell shares her journey to Macon and her vision for the future. We also pull back the curtain on the County's Information Technology Department and the team that keeps everything running behind the scenes. From cybersecurity and digital services to smart city initiatives and improving government accessibility, Tekquell explains why technology plays such a critical role in serving our community and how Macon-Bibb is using innovation to build a more connected future.

A Belgian Malinois from the Czech Republic walks into a school and somehow manages to be both a laser-focused narcotics detection dog and the sweetest, most approachable face of school safety. That's K9 Aramis, and we're joined by his handler, Officer Matt Mills, to explain how a K9 team actually fits into day-to-day life inside Cape Coral schools.We talk through what Aramis is trained to find, why THC vapes have become a real issue on campuses, and how targeted backpack or bag sniffs can support administrators when they ask for help. Officer Mills also shares why temperament matters so much for a school-based K9: a dog has to be safe for student interactions, but ready to switch into work mode instantly. Along the way, we get a look at the broader mission of community policing, including K9 demos at youth centers, PAL programs, camps, and community groups that help kids see officers as people they can trust.Summer brings a different rhythm, not a break. We cover how SROs still support summer school and camps, why training ramps up when school is out, and what law enforcement watches for when juveniles have more idle time. Officer Mills explains the prevention side too: working with juvenile probation, monitoring at-risk kids, and pushing for outcomes that get them off probation and back on track.If you've ever wondered what a K9 handler's life looks like after the shift ends, Officer Mills gets real about it: the training never stops, the dog comes home, vacations take planning, and the responsibility is closer to raising a kid than having a “work partner.” 

Riley Breckenridge is the drummer for the band Thrice. Riley began playing the drums in high school after tearing multiple ligaments in his legs while playing football.

When most people think about team sports, they think about football, basketball, baseball, or soccer. Muay Thai doesn't usually make that list.After all, when you step into the ring, you're alone. Nobody can throw punches for you, make weight for you, or do the hard work on your behalf.But after nearly two decades in Muay Thai, I've learned something important:Almost nobody succeeds in Muay Thai alone.In Episode 243 of the Pu'u Muay Thai Podcast, I discuss why Muay Thai feels like an individual sport on the surface but is actually built on one of the strongest team environments you'll ever experience.In this episode, I cover: Why Muay Thai feels different from traditional team sports  The role coaches, teammates, and mentors play in long-term success  How community influences retention and growth  The story of how my training partners stopped me from quitting Muay Thai  Meeting Kru Nokweed and finding a new direction in my journey  Why accountability is personal but development is collective  The importance of culture inside a Muay Thai gym  Why students stay where they feel connected  How experienced students eventually become contributors to the community I also share a pivotal moment in my own journey when I was ready to walk away from Muay Thai—and how the people around me changed the course of my life. Whether you're a beginner, competitor, coach, or gym owner, this episode is a reminder that while the work may be individual, the journey is rarely done alone.Support the showLeave a message or text us 24/7/365!+1-805-456-3316

Broadway may be where Nashville turns the volume up, but The Gulch is where the city sharpens its edges. In this episode of Retire Southern, James Lewis sits down with the team behind one of Nashville's most compelling hospitality experiences: Executive Chef Brack May, Beverage Director Todd Johnston, and Executive Pastry Chef Natalie Moorer of The Thompson Nashville. From oysters sliding across the raw bar at Marsh House to espresso martinis climbing toward the rooftop at L.A. Jackson, this conversation explores what actually makes a hotel feel alive. Not just the food. Not just the cocktails. The feeling. Together, the group dives into: The ecosystem philosophy behind modern hospitality Seafood sourcing, raw bar culture, and caviar service at Marsh House Soft-shell crab yaka mein and elevated Southern seafood The rise of espresso martinis and rooftop culture at L.A. Jackson Building a pastry program that feels refined yet approachable Why locals genuinely spend time at The Thompson The team's version of the perfect Nashville weekend What Southern hospitality looks like when it is done correctly Chef Brack brings decades of experience from San Francisco to New Orleans, shaping Marsh House into one of Nashville's defining seafood destinations with an approach rooted in authenticity over performance. Todd has helped build both Marsh House and L.A. Jackson since opening day in 2016, creating spaces that feel elevated without ever becoming pretentious. And Chef Natalie quietly ties the entire experience together through desserts, pastries, brunch, and small details that guests remember long after checkout. What emerges is a conversation about hospitality, energy, rhythm, and the kind of places people return to because of how they feel when they are there. The Thompson Nashville is not trying to compete with Broadway. It is offering a different frequency altogether. A little calmer. A little sharper. A little more intentional. Read. Watch. Listen. Rooted in the South. Driven by Purpose. Built for Living.

This episode of The UK Flooring Podcast sits down with Ben Montgomery and Peter Cohen from Veatu Flooring for a proper behind-the-scenes chat about growth, recruitment, commercial flooring, and what really happens when a business starts moving fast.Veatu Flooring started in 2019 and has grown from a small office with a handful of people into a commercial flooring business with a team of more than 20, working across sectors including schools, hospitals, residential, retail, supermarkets, tiling, hard flooring, resin, paving, and more.But as Ben and Peter explain, growth is not just about winning bigger jobs. It brings pressure, cost, cash flow demands, recruitment challenges, payment terms, tighter margins, and the need to build a structure that can actually handle the work.One of the biggest takeaways is that the team matters more than anything. Skills can be trained, but attitude, ambition, culture fit, and the willingness to graft are what keep a business moving when things get chaotic.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Veatu Flooring started almost by accident, and grew into a fast-moving commercial flooring business.Why growth can be a good problem, but only if the business is built properly behind the scenes.The challenge of keeping standards high while materials, labour, and operating costs continue to rise.Why recruitment is about more than skills, and why the right people need to fit the culture as well as the role.How Veatu have kept a family feel as the business has grown and become part of a wider group.Why cash flow and payment terms can make or break commercial flooring businesses, especially on larger projects.The opportunities Veatu are now looking at, including Tier 1 contractors, rail, government projects, and larger commercial packages.Why the flooring industry is still so relationship-led, even as businesses get bigger and more professional.Memorable Quote:“The business is screaming at you what it needs.”Speaker InformationBen MontgomeryOperations Director, Veatu Flooringhttps://veatuflooring.com/Peter CohenOperations Manager, Veatu Flooringhttps://veatuflooring.com/Where to Find The UK Flooring Podcast:Website: https://theukflooringpodcast.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theukflooringpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theukflooringpodcast/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/59DLhGPVKNtVoS656EYtxqApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-uk-flooring-podcast/id1606720642 Hosted on Acast.

GG Hawkins speaks with editors Lam T. Nguyen and Austin Keeling about building the visual language of Mercy, a hybrid screen life thriller directed by Timur Bekmambetov. They break down how editorial shaped not just pacing and performance, but also the film's digital camera moves, interface design, screen choreography, and collaboration with VFX. The conversation also expands into how texting, phones, and screen-based storytelling can work in contemporary filmmaking, and why the core principles of editing still matter even inside a highly technical workflow. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss... How Lam T. Nguyen and Austin Keeling first came together on Mercy What defines the film's hybrid “screen life” visual language How the team used early previs to explore a more immersive 3D screen experience Why the Apple Vision Pro became an early point of reference for the film's digital courtroom design How editorial functioned as editing, design, animation, and virtual cinematography all at once The Premiere Pro workflow they used to manage complex multi-layered timelines Why the team kept the process technically simple with adjustment layers, transform effects, and blur How they decided where the audience should look when multiple story elements were happening at once What the handoff to VFX looked like and why the editorial version had to be nearly final Their thoughts on how texting and phones can be made cinematic in modern films How Mercy balanced futuristic technology with interfaces that still feel recognizable to audiences Why collaboration, adaptability, and saying yes to unexpected opportunities helped shape their careers Memorable Quotes: “We had four weeks to build the previs and all they wanted was in traditional screen life formats.” “The best way to do is simplify it, right?” “The fundamentals still apply as an editor for this film.” “It's all just using the tools that are available and kind of like using them to your advantage.” Guests: Lam T.

Welcome to this special partner episode of Scran where we are looking forward to Summer, and more specifically Scotland's biggest gathering - The Royal Highland Show. Every year more than 200,000 people visit the show in Ingliston which has been running for more than 200 years now. Its popularity is testament to the huge amount of work and preparation that goes into putting on the show every year. I visited Ingliston to learn more about what that takes and what visitors can look forward to this year. First up Rosalind chats to Kaye Adams, Chair Designate of the show. To say the show has been a part of her life since she was born is an understatement, she's now risen up the ranks and in her current role is preparing for the top job. She tells Rosalind about her memories of the show growing up, its importance in the agricultural community calendar and how it's formed a significant part of her life. Rosalind also took a walk around the event site with Catriona Brown, Competition Manager for the show. Catriona is definitely a logistics person - thousands of visitors, animals and exhibitors all need to be looked after and that's part of her job. She fills Rosalind in on some of the tasks this includes and explains the sheer scale and effort of putting on a show of this size. Both Catriona and Kaye give Rosalind a flavour of what can be expected this year for old and new visitors alike. The Royal Highland Show takes place from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st of June. Early bird tickets are on sale now up until late April.  A new family ticket is also available this year which gives parents 20% of the standard entry free and remember, children 15 and under go free every day.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome back the team behind the film "No Country for Old People"   About "No Country for Old People":   A filmmaker chronicles her mother's last 6 months in a 5-star nursing home exposing what is a national systemic, deadly, profit-over-people business model. No Country For Old People; a Nursing Home Exposé is a scorching documentary posed to set the long-term care industry, policy makers, and the country ablaze. Shining a much-needed light on what is truly a national human emergency.   No Country for Old People; a Nursing Home Exposé is a 3-part documentary that exposes the dark realities of neglect and abuse in nursing homes and throughout U.S. long-term care industry.   The film answers four questions: What happens. 2. How does it happen? 3. Why does it happen? 4. And how do we fix it?   The film highlights a systemic crisis - the result of corporate greed - that has been taking a devastating human toll within the walls of our nation's long-term care facilities for decades.   The film weaves personal loss with journalistic rigor, exposing a pattern of abuse that is enabled by profit-first models that include chronic understaffing, undertraining, and financial exploitation.   PERSONAL STORIES AND EMOTIONAL IMPACT:   The filmmaker's own experience with her mother along with other emotional testimonies emphasize the human cost of systemic failure and illustrate the severe consequences of poor nursing home care.   The film is both deeply personal and widely resonant — amplifying voices too often silenced and inviting viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about aging, policy, and accountability in America.   About Susie Singer Carter:   Susie Singer Carter is a multi-award-winning, Oscar qualified filmmaker, writer, director, producer, actor, podcast producer, host, and Caregiver Advocate. She is best known for writing, directing, and producing the 2018 Oscar qualified short film, My Mom and The Girl starring Valerie Harper in her final performance, writing and producing “Bratz the Movie” for Lionsgate, and co-producing “Soul Surfer” for Sony.   Susie also produces and hosts the podcast Love Conquers Alz – awarded BEST PODCAST 2020 by New Media Film Festival and is #4 on Feedspots' 2022 25 Best Alzheimer's Podcasts list. Susie is also the co-creator, co-writer, co-star, and director of the outrageous horror/comedy narrative podcast I Love Lucifer, nominated Best Audio Fiction 2023 by Indie Series Awards.   Susie wrote the screenplay, “RUN”, based on the book “Plain Jane” and is attached to direct in spring 2024. She is currently writing, producing, and directing a docuseries, No Country For Old People, which centers on the Nursing Home Neglect and the systemic healthcare crisis responsible for it. She is also a host of the Writers Guild of America West's 3rd & Fairfax Podcast.   About Rick Mountcastle:   Mr. Mountcastle is the former United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia (2017-2018) and is a retired award-winning federal and state prosecutor. He led the prosecution of Purdue Pharma for fraudulently marketing OxyContin, as portrayed in the Emmy-nominated limited miniseries "Dopesick" (streaming on Hulu).   He also led the criminal and civil prosecution of Abbott Laboratories for fraudulently marketing the anti-epileptic, Depakote, for use as a chemical restraint for dementia patients in nursing homes, resulting in Abbott's guilty plea to a felony and payment of $1.5 billion, at the time the largest penalty against a pharmaceutical company for misconduct related to a single drug.   Mr. Mountcastle spent his career prosecuting healthcare companies and executives who exploited vulnerable patients for profit, and brings his passion to change a system that allows such exploitation to this project.   About Don Priess:   For over two decades, Don Priess has shunned sleep in order to become a highly sought-after, award winning writer, producer, director and editor. He co-founded Modern Media, now one of the top marketing and infomercial production companies in the world.   After six years and hundreds of TV and radio commercials, Don decided to spread his wings and since his credits include projects for CBS/Dic Entertainment, Nickelodeon, Buena Vista, American Movie Classics, Lifetime, Hanna-Barbera, Playboy Entertainment and more.   While continuing to work on a wide variety of entertainment projects, Don teamed with the highly energetic and talented Susie Singer Carter as part of Go Girl Media. Together they were the writers and Co-Executive Producers of two series for CBS, “CAKE” and “DANCE REVOLUTION”, SURVIVING HAWKING, and “SILVER LININGS” for Fox Television Studios.

What if the missing link to scaling your business isn't strategy or hustle—but buy-in?In today's episode, I sat down with Dave Garrison—Harvard MBA, former CEO, leadership strategist, and author of The Buy-In Advantage. Together, we unpack the real reason so many businesses struggle to scale: a lack of authentic team engagement and aligned leadership. From culture-building to communication, this episode is a masterclass in how to create a team that moves fast, works well, and stays committed—because they believe in the mission as much as you do.Whether you're a team of one or one hundred, these insights will reframe how you lead.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why buy-in is more than just agreement—it's heart, gut, and brain alignmentThe hidden costs of poor team culture (and how it's secretly draining your business)Why most delegation fails—and how to fix itHow to ask better questions to unlock your team's geniusThe 7 ingredients of a sustainable, values-driven cultureHow to build trust, accountability, and performance—without micromanaging Key Takeaways:✔️Buy-in starts with you: Authentic leadership means modeling the culture you want to see.✔️Three is greater than seven: Too many priorities means no priorities. Focus is freedom.✔️Meetings should energize, not drain: Start with expectations, end with feedback, make space for participation.✔️Delegation requires clarity: Define the desired outcome, success criteria, and escalation agreements up front.✔️Culture already exists—you're either shaping it or letting it shape you.✔️Curiosity beats control: Great leaders ask questions. Let your team show you how they think. Timestamps:[00:00] – Introduction to Dave & the concept of buy-in[03:00] – What buy-in really means (and where it gets lost)[07:00] – How leadership is evolving post-pandemic[12:00] – Signs your company lacks buy-in[17:00] – Why entrepreneurs sabotage their own teams[23:00] – Questions that build buy-in and culture[30:00] – Delegation that actually works[37:00] – Prioritization: why less is more[44:00] – The secret to powerful employee reviews[48:00] – Defining and living your company values[55:00] – Seven key ingredients to building a buy-in culture[01:02:00] – Practical advice to start creating buy-in today[01:07:00] – Final wisdom: humility, curiosity, and co-creation Connect with DaveGet Dave's book: The Buy-In AdvantageBonus resources when you buy: 45 powerful questions to drive buy-inJoin The Alliance – The Relationship Beats Algorithms™ community for entrepreneurs scaling through connectionApply for 1:1 Coaching – Ready to build your business with sustainability, impact, and ease?Attend Live Events – Get in the room where long-term success is built: https://mindofgeorge.com/event/

Thank you to all who joined our live-taping last Monday with senior advisors from Judge Susan Crawford's team that defeated Elon Musk, who lost bigly even after handing out million dollar checks.  Patrick Guarasci, chief political strategist for Judge Crawford, and Sam Roecker, senior campaign advisor and communications lead, share how they pulled off a landmark win in Wisconsin's pivotal Supreme Court race, offering a blueprint for reclaiming power in GOP-dominated states. In Wisconsin, the land of cheese, beer, and GOP ratf*cking, progressives scored a major victory. And they did it despite daunting odds, including opposition from none other than the world's richest man/psychopath. When Musk is not launching cars into space or tweeting himself into SEC investigations, he has been throwing his weight, and giant checks, behind efforts to tilt the judiciary in his favor. Judge Crawford's campaign wasn't about crypto hype or culture war distractions; it was about qualifications, a smart strategy, and staying laser-focused on issues people actually care about: reproductive rights, fair electoral maps, and keeping the courts independent. This wasn't just a Wisconsin win. It was a blueprint for how to beat big money with big people power. Students, first-time voters, and folks who typically only turn out for Packers games showed up in force. The lesson? When campaigns speak to real concerns and mobilize communities, they can overcome even the deepest pockets. Senator Ron Johnson, MAGA/Russia loyalist and 2028 re-election hopeful, might want to start updating his résumé. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?
