Your latest hotly anticipated, or at least blithely accepted pick five formatted episode of We Have A Technical is here. We're zeroing in on our recurring fascination with the role of soundtracks in forming our tastes in Our Thing by each selecting tracks which stand out for good or bad in various film soundtracks. Are there a number of chalk choices by well-established bands? Sure, but that's with an eye to digging into the lesser known moments and aspects of those giants' discographies, we promise. There's also some New Order ephemeral trivia off the top!

With audiences increasingly turning to echo-chambers on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube for their entertainment and away from traditional mass-media, is there anything that can bring communities together again? Jordan Schwarzenberger manages Sidemen, Europe's most popular YouTube collective – and recently went viral with a thesis over what he described as “the death of monoculture”. The Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur and member of Downing Street's Small Business Council tells Amol why he thinks Gen Z are withdrawing into micro-communities. But he has some radical suggestions for how to survive and thrive in an era where unique social content can count for far more than being part of an established media brand.

In this special crossover episode of Men of Steel, we kick off a two-part team-up with the Long Live the Legion podcast! We're diving into “Foundations,” the early 2000s arc from The Legion—with special guests Jim and Jay from LLtL and the artist of the arc himself, Chris Batista! Together, we explore Superman's legacy in the 31st century, the evolving identity of the Legion, and what it was like illustrating this future-forward storyline. Part 2 continues on Long Live the Legion—don't miss it! Overview Case Aiken introduces crossover episode, featuring Jmike Folson, Jim Fetters, Jay McKiernan, and Chris Batista discussing the Legion of Superheroes 'Foundations' arc, celebrating its 45th anniversary. The plot centers on Darkseid snatching people from time to harness dark matter, with the Legion uncovering Superboy during the investigation. DNA (Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning) established as the core writing team; their earlier success with Marvel's cosmic stories enhances credibility. Chris Batista expresses concern over technology portrayal, advocating for a more advanced depiction of the Legion compared to Justice League. The Legion World headquarters is praised for its futuristic elements like replicated home worlds and teleportation gates. Despite rising sales and positive fan response, the series faced cancellation, causing frustration as issue 25 became the second-best selling of the series with a 25% readership increase. Character designs for the Servants of Darkness were mostly created by Chris Batista, with a conscious effort to maintain Kirby's aesthetic. Superboy's dual role as both Legion member and connection to Titans was anticipated, reflecting long-time fan expectations for character involvement. Kid Quantum is recognized as the first female leader of color in the Legion, showcasing character dynamics and development alongside Cosmic Boy. The evolution of Superboy's design aimed to match Teen Titans appearances, highlighting editorial influence on character aesthetics. Notes ️ Podcast Introduction and Setup (00:00 - 02:09) Case Aiken introduces the Men of Steel podcast crossover episode with Long Live the Legion podcast, featuring co-host Jmike Folson and guests Jim Fetters, Jay McKiernan, and artist Chris Batista. Discussion focuses on Legion of Superheroes 'Foundations' arc, specifically issue 25 which serves as both story continuation and 45th anniversary celebration. Chris Batista reveals behind-the-scenes details about working as lead artist on the arc, noting DC doesn't produce this Legion continuity anymore so he can speak freely. Story Overview and Context (02:09 - 09:54) Jmike Folson summarizes the Foundations plot: people being snatched from time by Darkseid to steal dark matter for restarting Apokolips, with Legion discovering Superboy during investigation of warp phantoms. DNA (Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning) established as the writing team, with connections drawn to their later successful Marvel cosmic work including Guardians of the Galaxy. Legion Lost miniseries and Legion Worlds established crucial backstory, with 25 issues of world-building leading to this commemorative arc. ️ Technology and World-Building Discussion (09:54 - 16:05) Chris Batista expresses frustration with Paul Levitz rejecting advanced technology concepts for Legion, arguing they should appear far more advanced than Justice League. Legion World headquarters praised as major advancement - a planet with replicated home worlds and teleportation gates, making Legion feel appropriately futuristic. Discussion of how DNA run embraced technological advancement while previous runs kept Legion at similar tech level to 20th century heroes. Character Design and Development (01:01:03 - 01:24:10) Chris reveals Servants of Darkness designs were largely his creation except for Orion, with specific mentions of including Firestorm, White Martian, Lobo, Green Lantern, and Big Barda. Orion design intentionally modeled after Destroyer from Thor, maintaining Kirby aesthetic while creating intimidating servant appearance. Invisible Kid and Brainiac 5 romantic moment revealed as editor Steve Wacker's spontaneous addition 'just to mess with fans' - became lasting fan discussion point. Publishing History and Cancellation (01:24:16 - 01:59:06) Series cancellation explained as sudden higher-up decision despite rising sales and positive fan response to Superboy addition. Issue 25 was second-best selling of entire series with 25% increase in readership, making cancellation timing particularly frustrating. Original plans included Superboy remaining in both Legion and Titans simultaneously, with extensive story arcs planned for Element Lad return and Lightning Lad separation. Artist Collaboration and Creative Process (20:40 - 01:19:06) Chris describes working relationship with DNA as collaborative, with writers trusting him to design new characters like Legion cadets and including Easter eggs like Kent Shakespeare and Polar Boy. Multiple pencillers used for issue 25 to handle commemorative scope, with each artist assigned specific character groups to avoid overlap. Coloring technology evolution discussed, with modern computer coloring providing more tools but potentially reducing creative necessity of older 64-color process limitations. ⏳ Superman Connection and Time Travel Elements (34:02 - 01:54:06) Clark Kent and 90s Superboy both featured as characters pulled from time, with Clark becoming servant of darkness while Superboy joins Legion. Superboy wears classic costume with Legion belt buckle addition, fulfilling long-time fan expectations while serving story purposes. Time dilation plot involves universe getting smaller and past being erased, though hosts acknowledge the temporal mechanics don't fully make sense. Character Relationships and Dynamics (46:03 - 01:30:24) Mech (Lightning Lord) rehabilitation storyline discussed as more complex than typical villain treatment, showing struggle between evil nature and love for siblings. Kid Quantum established as Legion's first female leader of color, with organic romantic relationship with Cosmic Boy developing throughout arc. Livewire/Element Lad fusion creates extremely powerful character combining lightning abilities with matter transmutation in crystalline body. Technical and Production Details (01:36:23 - 01:51:38) Secret Files issue placement in continuity questioned due to timeline inconsistencies with main story events. Chris notes Superboy's physical design evolution throughout arc as editorial mandated size increases to match Teen Titans appearance. Force field technology and advanced Legion equipment discussed as properly futuristic elements that should distinguish team from contemporary heroes.

#589 Nick Church is a seasoned wedding and commercial photographer, educator, and the founder of the Nick Church Creative Academy. With nearly a decade of professional experience, Nick has become recognized for both his creative eye and his commitment to helping other photographers grow in their craft. Having transitioned from the software industry to full-time photography, he brings a unique blend of business acumen and technical expertise to the table.KEY TOPICS COVEREDEvolving Creativity and Staying Motivated in Wedding Photography - Nick explains how shooting countless weddings can make the experience feel routine, but emphasizes the necessity of finding fresh creative approaches and engaging in personal projects for artistic fulfillment. Changing locations, experimenting with new techniques, and even switching camera systems (like using Fujifilm for personal work) can reignite passion and broaden skills.Seven Foundational Rules for Photographers - Nick outlines crucial “rules” every photographer should keep in mind. Topics include:Avoiding GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) by focusing on developing skills before investing in new equipment.Developing a critical eye, always evaluating what works in your images and areas for improvement.Not expecting post-processing to “rescue” fundamentally flawed shots.Transitioning from Hobby to Business - Nick advises beginners aspiring to start a business to focus on visible, authentic self-marketing, sharing their real passion, and building community presence. Technical prowess matters, but connecting with potential clients on a personal level is equally vital.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSGear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS): The compulsion to continually purchase new gear in hopes of improving photography, often without a concrete reason or understanding of how it will address one's actual needs. Nick stresses articulating specific problems with current gear before making a purchase.Shooting with Intention: The practice of planning or visualizing the purpose and effect of each frame—be it emotion, composition, or storytelling—instead of just “snapping” photos. This leads to more impactful and meaningful images.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow can you maintain creative motivation when photographing the same event or venue repeatedly?What steps can you take to evaluate whether a new piece of gear is truly necessary for your photography?Reflect on a recent photo you took: What were you trying to communicate, and did your intention come through?RESOURCES:Visit Nick Church's Website - https://www.nickchurchcreativeacademy.com/Check out the Photographer Unleashed course!

What happens when a cybersecurity incident requires legal precision, operational coordination, and business empathy—all at once? That's the core question addressed in this origin story with Bryan Marlatt, Chief Regional Officer for North America at CyXcel.Bryan brings over 30 years of experience in IT and cybersecurity, with a history as a CISO, consultant, and advisor. He now helps lead an organization that sits at the intersection of law, cyber, and geopolitics—an uncommon combination that reflects the complexity of modern risk. CyXcel was founded to address this reality head-on, integrating legal counsel, cybersecurity expertise, and operational insight into a single, business-first consulting model.Rather than treat cybersecurity as a checklist or a technical hurdle, Bryan frames it as a service that should start with the business itself: its goals, values, partnerships, and operating environment. That's why their engagements often begin with conversations with sales, finance, or operations—not just the CIO or CISO. It's about understanding what needs to be protected and why, before prescribing how.CyXcel supports clients before, during, and after incidents—ranging from tailored tabletop exercises to legal coordination during breach response and post-incident recovery planning. Their work spans critical sectors like healthcare, utilities, finance, manufacturing, and agriculture—where technology, law, and regulation often converge under pressure.Importantly, Bryan emphasizes the need for tailored guidance, not generic frameworks. He notes that many companies don't realize how incomplete their protections are until it's too late. In one example, he recounts a hospital system that chose to “pay the fine” rather than invest in cybersecurity—a decision that risks reputational and operational harm far beyond the regulatory penalty.From privacy laws and third-party contract reviews to incident forensics and geopolitical risk analysis, this episode reveals how cybersecurity consulting is evolving to meet a broader—and more human—set of business needs.Learn more about CyXcel: https://itspm.ag/cyxcel-922331Note: This story contains promotional content.

How do you go from giving short, tip-focused talks to inspiring audiences with a full keynote? That's exactly the journey our guest has taken and it's one so many of us can learn from. Our lead speaking coach Diane Diaz talks with Elaine Schomburg-LaFleur, a senior project engineer who has spent over 20 years in the theme park industry, including at Disney. Elaine thought of herself as “the tip girl” - packing her presentations with lots of helpful advice. But when she was invited to give her first keynote, she realized she needed a new approach. With the help of a VIP Day and our in-person Speaking Accelerator workshop, Elaine discovered how to weave stories into her talks, connect emotionally with her audience, and step into her authentic speaking style. The result? Not only did she deliver a powerful keynote to a room of young women engineers, she also caught the “speaking bug” and has continued landing and delivering talks that inspire. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Elaine's transition from sharing only tips to becoming an inspiring keynote speaker How storytelling makes even technical topics more engaging and memorable The role of authenticity in building confidence and audience connection What Elaine gained from practicing in community and receiving real-time feedback How she continues to grow her visibility and speaking career through LinkedIn and pitching opportunities Elaine's story is proof that you don't have to change who you are to be a great speaker - you just need to unlock the authentic voice that's already within you. About Our Guest: Elaine Schomburg-LaFleur is a Senior Project Engineer at AOA and has over 22 years of experience in the entertainment industry, leading projects in engineering, design, and technical management for major theme parks. She balances big-picture strategy with technical detail to bring projects to life. Outside of work, she's a certified sommelier, teaches wine classes, and mentors with the Society of Women Engineers. Passionate about STEM outreach, she loves inspiring the next generation. About Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox.

After a lengthy hiatus, Austin cautionary tales Street Sects are back. They're turning their combination of noise, post-hardcore, and sample-driven industrial to investigate some extremely painful territory related to addiction and recovery with their new Dry Drunk record, but also have something quite different on the go in their more electro-pop influenced Street Sex incarnation and its Full Color Eclipse debut. Given their similarities and differences, we thought a full episode dedicated to the discussion of these records and their thematics was warranted.

What defines beauty, and who decides if we're worthy of love? In this deeply personal conversation about Alison Landa's memoir "Bearded Lady," my friend, Misty, and I explore the profound struggle of living with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), condition that causes excessive body hair growth, and the lifelong journey toward self-acceptance.Allison's story begins in childhood when her mother, rather than filling a prescription that could help manage her condition, simply teaches her to shave. This moment sets the stage for years of struggle with both her physical appearance and her self-worth. Through bullying, failed treatments, and romantic disappointments, Allison questions whether she'll ever find acceptance... from others or herself.As we unpack this powerful memoir, we weave in their own experiences with body image, parenting, and the search for self-acceptance. Misty, pregnant during recording, shares candid reflections about her changing body and her fears about motherhood while I talk about my own experience with bullying due to body hair. We hope our conversation creates a safe space to discuss the vulnerability we all face in our bodies.The episode culminates with Allison's discovery that wanting to change something about yourself isn't always about conforming to society's standards—sometimes it's simply about honoring your own desires. Her eventual finding of love with someone who accepts her completely while supporting her choices provides a beautiful resolution to her journey.This conversation will resonate with anyone who has ever felt defined by something they wish to change about themselves, or who has questioned where the line between self-acceptance and self-improvement truly lies.

How do you find the perfect technical partner for your business, and avoid the costly mistakes so common in software outsourcing? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, host Vinay Koshy sits down with Sean Languedoc, CEO of Outforce AI, a company boasting an astonishing 98% success rate in matching clients to their ideal software agencies. Sean peels back the curtain on the world of technical partnerships, exposing why so many businesses struggle to build productive relationships and why the “speed, cost, or quality, pick two” dilemma is still so relevant today. But Sean doesn't just stick to theory. He shares candid stories about what happens behind the scenes when big bets on cheap talent backfire, why cultural alignment and killer questions matter more than country reputation, and how a focus on quality accelerates innovation and go-to-market success. You'll also hear insider insights on thriving in the age of AI, pitfalls to avoid when scaling your tech team, and his hard-won tips for navigating the “build versus buy” debate. Whether you're a founder, CTO, or business leader eyeing your next growth leap, this conversation promises to make you rethink everything you thought you knew about technical outsourcing. Some areas we explore in this episode include: Value of Technical Partnerships: Why seeing outsourced relationships as true partnerships leads to better success.Selecting the Right Tech Partner: The challenges and complexities in identifying and vetting ideal software agencies.Outforce AI's Matchmaking Approach: How Sean's company uses data and detailed vetting to match clients and agencies.Company Evolution: The shift from Global Talent Accelerator to Outforce AI, and the impact of COVID on the business model.Speed vs. Quality vs. Cost (“Trilemma”): The tradeoffs in outsourcing and why prioritizing quality is key.Cultural & Communication Barriers: Navigating cross-cultural differences and building effective communication in remote teams.Effective Go-to-Market Strategies: Leveraging agency networks for faster B2B customer acquisition.Emergence of AI in Development: The rising role of AI/LLMs in coding, efficiency, and operational change.Best Practices for Managing Outsourced Teams: Integrating, supporting, and communicating with remote or agency teams.Build vs. Buy Decision & Post-Launch Needs: When to build in-house, outsource, or partner, and how to handle post-launch support and knowledge transfer.And much, much more...

Kevin Green examines yesterday's weakness as an "innocent until proven guilty narrative." He believes the 20-day moving average is a key test for trend direction determining whether Tuesday's selling was a healthy correction or something worse. KG explains the seasonality trends for August and September that aren't living up to historical norms. For Palantir (PLTR), says its recent price action is a "cooling off" period. KG also weighs in on Target (TGT) after earnings fail to impress investors. On the broader S&P 500 (SPX), he's watching 6430 to the upside and 6370 to the downside in Wednesday's trading.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Charles Schwab's Kevin Horner urges investors to brace for a potential pullback in the SPX that could bring the index back to the 50-day SMA. He explains how the 6,100 level, currently below that 50-day metric, backs his reasoning. Turning to individual stocks, Kevin has his eyes on Zeta Global (ZETA) as the 20-day SMA crosses above the 200-day SMA. After Palantir's (PLTR) significant pullback, he sees $152 as new support, or $126 if selling picks up steam.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The Great Basin region features diversity of crops and weather that can change remarkable fast. Redox Sales Agronomist Brett Reed works with many growers to ensure their crops are performing at their peak.He said a crucial factor for success among any field is achieving plant charge balance, where the focus is on charge per acre, not pounds of material applied per acre. Reed said bio-nutrition, combining carefully-sourced nutrients with biostimulants, provides an incredible synergy that brings out the best in yield and quality.“That synergy is like a great marriage,” he said. “You can always rely on having that partner help the other one. It's amazing. A one stop shop.”Some of his favorite Redox technology includes RDX-N®, Rootex®, RootRx®, diKaP® and PeneCal®.

Should the club own the situation or sit tight? What can the Head Coach really say? How do we begin to claw our way out of this? Big questions, so early in a new campaign.Technical glitches on Argyle TV, a guide to dealing with the doom as a fan, and an attempt to find some positives and perspective leave everyone terrified — but still excited — for another home game at the weekend.

Technical issue is NOW fixed Energy is very misunderstood when it comes to the human body and how your body produces it. Specifically, people want to know how to burn energy, i.e.-body fat. For most in the field, it's a complete mystery, so they always resort to one type of energy, calories. But, if you've done cardio to 'burn fat', you'll know that it doesn't quite work that way. In today's episode, I field a few questions around this topic that can hopefully save you some time and answer some questions when it comes to fat loss. Enjoy!

At the EUVC Summit 2025, Nirmesh Patel from Amino Collective took the stage with a message that felt less like a pitch and more like a call to arms. His focus? The intersection of AI, health, and bio—and why Europe is uniquely positioned to lead this next era.We're still waiting for the first blockbuster drug developed using large AI models. But don't mistake that for inaction. As Nirmesh put it:“It's fundamentally changed how everyone does research in this space.”So much so that the Nobel Prize committee had no choice but to take notice.That shift is already reshaping how scientists think, experiment, and build companies—and it's opening the door for a new generation of outlier founders at the earliest stages.Amino Collective invests pre-seed and seed into health and bio, and Nirmesh was unequivocal:“Europe has all the ingredients required to make the next healthcare giants.”Here's what he sees:Technical founders now thinking commercially from Day 1.Citizens more willing to contribute data to studies, even if they don't cancel that January gym membership.Stable grant funding across Europe—especially in contrast to recent volatility at U.S. institutions like the NIH.On-continent innovation in manufacturing mRNA at scale—key to pandemic preparedness.These aren't future predictions. They're current capabilities, and they're maturing fast.Venture is about betting on outliers.In AI x Bio, the next outliers are likely being formed right now.“We're at the very early stages of the collision between AI, health, and bio. The companies that will define the future are just starting.”If you want to back the next transformative firm in medicine, don't just look to the coasts.Look to Europe. The science is here. The funding is here. The talent is ready.“I truly believe the future of medicine is European.”So do we.AI Has Already Transformed Research. The Market Impact Comes Next.Why Europe? The Ingredients Are Already Here.From Outliers to Giants

Somya Mehra: When Technical Expertise Becomes Product Owner Micro-Management Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Clear Communicator and Dependency Master Somya worked with an exceptional Product Owner on a project with multiple team dependencies. This PO excelled at clear, direct communication with both stakeholders and the team. They were proactive in stakeholder communication and maintained strong focus on what was needed and why. Their backlog management was exemplary, creating proper epics with comprehensive information including dependencies, enabling the team to easily know who to contact. This approach led to a much more motivated team. The Bad Product Owner: The Technical Micro-Manager Somya encountered a technically strong Product Owner whose knowledge became a liability. While technical strength can be beneficial, this PO used their expertise to control the team, telling developers exactly what solutions to implement. Initially, developers accepted this direction, but it escalated to every feature and task. The developers became uncomfortable voicing their perspectives, creating an unhealthy dynamic where the PO's technical knowledge stifled team autonomy and creativity. Self-reflection Question: How do you help Product Owners leverage their technical knowledge without falling into micro-management patterns? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Event Recap: Kieran Human at Black Hat USA 2025 — ThreatLocker Unveils Configuration Defense, Achieves FedRAMP Status & MoreThreatLocker introduced DAC configuration monitoring and achieved FedRAMP certification at Black Hat 2025, strengthening zero trust capabilities while expanding government market access through practical security solutions.Zero trust security continues evolving beyond theoretical frameworks into practical business solutions, as demonstrated by ThreatLocker's latest announcements at Black Hat USA 2025. The company introduced Defense Against Configuration (DAC), a monitoring tool addressing a critical gap in zero trust implementations.Kieran Human, Special Projects Engineer at ThreatLocker, explained the challenge driving DAC's development. Organizations implementing zero trust often struggle with configuration management, potentially leaving systems vulnerable despite security investments. DAC monitors configurations continuously, alerting administrators to potential security issues and mapping findings to compliance frameworks including Essential 8.The tool addresses human factors in security implementation. Technical staff sometimes create overly permissive rules to minimize user complaints, compromising security posture. DAC provides weekly reports to executives, ensuring oversight of configuration decisions and maintaining security standards across the organization.ThreatLocker's approach distinguishes itself through "denied by default, allowed by exception" methodology, contrasting with traditional endpoint detection and response solutions that permit by default and block threats reactively. This fundamental difference requires careful implementation to avoid business disruption.The company's learning mode capabilities address deployment concerns. With over 10,000 built-in application profiles, ThreatLocker automates policy creation while learning organizational workflows. This reduces manual configuration requirements that previously made zero trust implementations tedious and time-intensive.FedRAMP certification represents another significant milestone, opening government sector opportunities. Federal compliance requirements previously excluded ThreatLocker from certain contracts, despite strong customer demand for their zero trust capabilities. This certification enables expansion into highly regulated environments requiring stringent security controls.Customer testimonials continue validating the approach. One user reported preventing three breaches after implementing ThreatLocker's zero trust solution, demonstrating measurable security improvements. Such feedback reinforces the practical value of properly implemented zero trust architecture.The balance between security and business functionality remains crucial. Organizations need security solutions that protect assets without hampering productivity. ThreatLocker's principle of least privilege implementation focuses on enabling business requirements with minimal necessary permissions rather than creating restrictive environments that impede operations.Human described working closely with CEO Danny Jenkins, emphasizing the collaborative environment that drives product innovation. His engineering perspective provides valuable insights into customer needs while maintaining focus on practical security solutions that work in real-world environments.As zero trust adoption accelerates across industries, tools like DAC become essential for maintaining security posture while meeting business demands. The combination of automated learning, configuration monitoring, and compliance mapping addresses practical implementation challenges facing security teams today.Learn more about ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Note: This story contains promotional content.

This episode hosted by Mike and Angie , opens with a highlight post from Ira asking about easy, at-home ways to use various Amex statement credits. Angie explains that some, like Dunkin' and office supply store credits, can be used online, while others, like the dining credit, are best used in person or via services like Grubhub. In the news segment, they cover Chase co-branded card multiplier promos, confirmation that Hawaiian Airlines credit cards will remain available, a recently expired United flash sale to Asia and Oceania, and major Aeroplan program changes starting in 2026, shifting to revenue-based point earning with new status qualifying credits and milestone rewards.In personal updates, both Angie and Mike share recent credit card bonuses, including the Citi Strata Elite 100k in-branch offer, and trip planning changes. Angie rebooked Northeast hotels to leverage Chase Points Boost and Citi Elite's $300 hotel credit, finalized a rental car for a golf trip, and planned a November “girls' trip” with possible glamping. Mike lists upcoming travel to Nashville, New Orleans, New York (twice), Texas, and Miami for the AT101 September meetup.The main topic, “I've got points—now what?”, addresses people who have amassed rewards but feel overwhelmed deciding how to use them. Angie shares four recent examples, from someone feeling pressure to book the Maldives because “everyone does,” to travelers struggling with cash vs. points decisions, or comparing award flights unfavorably to friends' paid fares. Mike and Angie discuss how destination choices are often influenced by personal bucket lists or others' invitations—like Mike's potential Jamaica trip offered by a friend—and emphasize tailoring redemptions to individual goals, timing, and comfort levels rather than trends.Links to Topics DiscussedChase Co-Branded Cards My Bonus PromoHawaiian Airlines Credit CardUnited Deal AlertAir Canada Aeroplan Program ChangesWhere to Find Us The Free 110k+ member Award Travel 101 Community.
