In this episode of the Culture Eats Everything podcast, Kevin Davis sits down with David Brooks, Executive Director of St. Anne's Terrace in Atlanta, to discuss what it really takes to build and sustain a thriving organizational culture. Having worked his way up from driving the bus and washing dishes to leading the entire community, David shares how every role shaped his leadership philosophy.The conversation explores the importance of hiring for attitude over experience, creating a workplace where employees genuinely enjoy coming to work, and why culture is the greatest competitive advantage in attracting and retaining both staff and residents. David also reflects on the challenges of stepping into executive leadership, learning to trust his team, embracing vulnerability, and understanding that great leaders don't have all the answers—they empower others to contribute theirs.Whether you're leading a business, managing a team, or aspiring to grow into leadership, this episode is packed with practical insights on servant leadership, transparency, humility, and building a culture people never want to leave.Click here to buy our book:

Later than it should have been due to a combination of Scotland's participation at the 2026 World Cup and some bad planning, Craig Fowler is joined by Shaughan McGuigan and Tony Anderson to look back at the moments from the last few months in the Scottish football season which stood out above all others, including an angry Rangers kicking a bin, Michael Palin being thoroughly confused by aggregate scores, a dog on the park, Paul Nsio celebrating Ross County's demise, more nonsense from Hamilton Accies and much, much more.

Momentum around Unity GrowsI want to begin by commending the SDLP for organising last week's conference – The Future of these Islands: Preparing for Change. It was a well-attended day-long event, held in Belfast, on the issue of Irish Unity. Among those who contributed to the series of discussions was Dublin Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan, former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Sinn Féin's Conor Murphy and others, including leading figures in the SDLP like the party leader Claire Hanna.Add this to Fine Gael's announcement that it is planning to publish a blueprint on Irish Unity at its Ard Fheis in November and next Tuesday's Dáil debate on Sinn Féin's legislative proposal - “Planning for Constitutional Change Bill 2026” – and it is clear that there is increasing unanimity in the Unity movement that planning for unity is now a priority.These are significant developments. Sinn Féin has long argued that the cause of Unity is bigger than any one party. It requires the greatest number of citizens, political parties, community and lobby organisations all moving together in the same broad direction and planning for unity.   Sign the Petition for Moore St.The 1916 Moore St. Battlefield site in the centre of Dublin is a hugely important historical and cultural location whose significance has been ignored by successive Irish governments for over a century. Currently much of the Moore St. Terrace and adjoining lanes are under threat of demolition by the London based developer Hammerson. The Moore St. Preservation Trust (MSPT), the Relatives of the 1916 Rising Relatives and others groups and individuals have been involved in a long running campaign to save this iconic site.Early next year the Moore St. Preservation Trust will be in court to judicially review the Hammerson Plan. This is a vital step to preserve this historic area and the Trust is engaged in a campaign to inform, lobby, and win support for its efforts. As part of its campaign the Trust has launched a petition calling on the Irish Government to bring Moore Street into public ownership and build a 1916 historical Cultural Quarter. Sínigh an achainí | Sign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/save-moore-street-buy-the-terrace  Tá fáilte romhaibh - Féile an Phobail AbúI'm looking forward to 25 July when Féile an Phobail – begins its longest and biggest ever summer extravaganza as the largest community festival on the island of Ireland.The programme was launched last week and is an amazing mix of music, sport, gaeilge, arts exhibitions, literary events, discussions and debates, comedy, film, tours and walks and much more. Over 500 events with something for everyone. And an anticipated 120,000 tourists from outside of west Belfast coming along to join in the celebrations. The programme is available online through this link - https://feilebelfast.com/  Seomra Máire DrummThe conference room in the Sinn Féin Falls Office was dedicated last Friday to Sinn Former Vice –President Máire Drumm by the current Vice President of the party Michelle O'Neill. Máire was assassinated in the Mater Hospital in October 1976.She was a passionate, gifted and articulate advocate for Ireland and republicanism who frequently faced down armed British soldiers, and RUC officers. The image of Máire leading a river of women into the Falls in the summer of 1970 to break the British Army - imposed curfew, or her protests by women carrying hurling sticks, are iconic moments in the struggle for freedom.

A Disneyland family walks into Walt Disney World thinking they've got the playbook, then Florida's scale, transportation, and next-level ride roster rewrites the plan. We're joined by McCayla, former PlanDisney panelist and seasoned Disneyland expert, fresh off a quick Disney World trip with her two kids who had never visited the Orlando parks before. What starts as a “thank you” celebration turns into a week of new favorites, big feelings, and a few moments where the Disney tiki room gods clearly laugh at the plan. We talk through the choices that made the trip work, starting with a split stay that includes Animal Kingdom Lodge and five nights at Disney's Beach Club Resort. McCayla shares why Beach Club's location near Epcot and that “mini water park” pool changed the family's pace, plus what it's like to adjust from Anaheim's walkability to Walt Disney World buses and travel time. We also get candid about Disney hospitality, the power of the Disney World bubble, and how dining experiences like Topolino's Terrace and Sanaa's bread service can feel closer to Disney Cruise Line service than you might expect. Then we get to the good stuff: first big park moments, the surprising kid reactions, and the ride rankings that shift in real time. Tron Lightcycle Run becomes the obsession, Cosmic Rewind delivers a story-worthy recovery when the first ride goes wrong, and Epcot quietly steals the “favorite park” crown. If you're a Disneyland regular planning your first Walt Disney World vacation, you'll leave with practical planning tips, honest tradeoffs, and a clearer sense of how to pick priorities without trying to do it all. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a Disney friend, and leave a rating and review so more travelers can find the show.You can find more from McCayla on Substack and Instagram - check out https://linktr.ee/mc.and.mouse.club for links to everything.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

*Note* - Was meant to be Stevie and Dan reviewing Motherwell and previewing this game but the latter is "unwell" and was in no fit state to do a podcast so......... Stevie and Craig from THE TERRACE look ahead to the TITLE DECIDER in a fair and balanced fashion. It's audio from The Terrace's Patreon show, with both Stevie and Craig working on this so if you are worried a Jambo has taken over GIGPOD in the opening segment, do not be alarmed, this was planned. It all comes down to this tomorrow. One shall stand, one shall fall and be mercilessly bodied for years. Back after the weekend with Reidzo for the review!

Some spoopy stories from listeners.BG Music: Untold by Myuu

This week on Enjoying Orange Slices with Jeff & Ian

Episode 104: Kamasi Washington Kamasi Washington is one of the most important voices in modern jazz. A saxophonist, composer, and bandleader from Los Angeles, he has helped shape the sound of contemporary music through his solo work and collaborations with artists like Kendrick Lamar, Thundercat, Dinner Party, Flying Lotus, Andre 3000, Terrace Martin, and Robert Glasper. In this episode of Go With Elmo, Kamasi sits down for a deep conversation about his journey, from growing up in Los Angeles with the greatest young talents all around him to becoming a central figure in a global movement of jazz, hip-hop, and beyond. The LA music scene, the importance of community, and the foundation of the West Coast Get Down collective all come into focus. Kamasi breaks down the West Coast Get Down and the musicians involved, including Thundercat, Ronald Bruner Jr., Cameron Graves, Brandon Coleman, Ryan Porter, Patrice Quinn, Miles Mosley, and Tony Austin, and how that group helped define a new sound coming out of Los Angeles. Kamasi explains why he often performs with multiple drummers and multiple bassists, how he builds such powerful live ensembles, and what it takes to lead large groups of musicians on stage and in the studio. The conversation dives into Kamasi's work on Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, the creative energy of those sessions, how he got the call for the Kendrick gig from Terrace, and their continued connection over time. More recent collaborations like “Luther” and “TV Off” are discussed, along with Kendrick referencing him by name in the lyric “keep a horn on me, that Kamasi,” a moment that reflects his influence across genres. Making his landmark albums The Epic, Heaven and Earth, and Harmony of Difference are explored, along with his approach to jazz saxophone, composition, improvisation, and bandleading. His broader work as a composer, including Becoming and Lazarus, adds to the scope of his career and creative output. The conversation goes deep into music philosophy, creativity, and meaning, including Kamasi's belief that music is bigger than genre and can communicate ideas beyond words. Fatherhood, inspiration, and the evolution of his perspective all play a role in shaping his current work. This is a wide-ranging talk about music, culture, leadership, and the journey of becoming one of the defining artists of this generation.

Along the way, she shares her thoughts on compassion, trust, and why the bones of a community matter far more than a shiny new chandelier.

Pop Century – perfect for Skyliner access with a stroller Coronado Springs (Club Level) – upgraded to a one-bedroom suite with cribs (major win!) Caribbean Beach – great location, but a reminder to request first floor rooms with strollers One big takeaway:If you're traveling with little ones, space + convenience matters more than ever. Dining Highlights They had some fantastic meals (and a few honest takes): Standout Experiences Narcoossee's – fireworks views + great food Topolino's Terrace – a must-do (especially the sole + escargot!) Crystal Palace – surprisingly great food + amazing character interactions Yak & Yeti (to-go!) – tuna nachos + margaritas by the water Honest Reviews Chef Mickey's – fun for characters, not for the food Summer House on the Lake – beautiful, but still searching for that “wow” meal Traveling to Disney with Infants (Real Tips) This is where the episode really shines. Nick and Carlin share real-world tips from doing Disney with twins: Pre-pack and organize your stroller setup Bring MORE supplies than you think (especially pacifiers!) Use rider swap — but know it works differently at each ride Take advantage of Disney's baby amenities (cribs, pack & plays, etc.) Consider room size — family suites can be game changers Don't overplan — flexibility is everything One big insight: Disney might actually be one of the easiest places to travel with babies — because of how accommodating everything is. Favorite Moments from the Trip There were so many special moments, but a few really stood out: Seeing the twins react to characters for the first time A magical fireworks moment from the hub grass after park close A sunset safari with a roaring lion at Animal Kingdom Watching the babies take in shows like Festival of the Lion King That first “Disney awareness” moment — when everything starts clicking And for me personally… Holding Wiley during the trip and thinking about my upcoming granddaughter… That was a moment I won't forget. What This Trip Was Really About This episode isn't just about traveling with kids. It's about something bigger. It's about: Seeing Disney through a new lens Creating memories that come full circle And realizing that this experience keeps evolving through every stage of life As Nick said… These might be moments the kids won't remember… But we will.

Are Disney World character meals a brilliant time-saving hack or an overpriced distraction from the parks? In this episode of The Case For, Len Testa and Chris Cox step into the courtroom to debate the true value of character dining at Walt Disney World. From princess breakfasts to Stitch sightings and dining plan math gymnastics, they weigh the food, the photos, and the fan-favorite interactions to decide if these meals are worth the reservation. HIGHLIGHTS • Why character meals can be a strategic win for parents looking to combine dining, autographs, and air-conditioned downtime in one experience • The real math behind Disney's Dining Plan and how character meals can maximize value, especially during Free Dining promotions • Top-rated options like Topolino's Terrace vs. lower-rated but character-heavy experiences like Akershus Royal Banquet Hall • Resort character dining vs. in-park meals - which offers the more relaxed and rewarding experience? • The pros and cons of Cinderella's Royal Table, Chef Mickey's, Garden Grill, Hollywood & Vine, and ‘Ohana • How Fantasmic dining packages can turn one reservation into a three-for-one strategy • Why rare characters at meals could change the game entirely HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Len Testa - IG: @len.testa | Bluesky: @lentesta.bsky.social | Website: touringplans.com • Chris Cox - IG: @magiccox | X: @bigcox | Website: magiccox.com FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.
