You can walk into a negotiation thinking you only need a number, a percentage, a quick yes. Then it turns into a psychological chess match where “standard terms” and sudden urgency start rewriting the value of what you built. We step back and treat negotiation the way innovators and creators need to treat it: as a moment where strategy, judgment, and intellectual property protection collide.We share a simple framework from Protection for the Inventive Mind that turns messy deal conversations into something you can actually navigate. We explain the five negotiation hats and when to wear each one: Chef Hat preparation so you know your floor and non-negotiables before anyone tests them, Top Hat positioning so your invention, brand, design, or know-how lands as commercial impact, Winter Hat flexibility so you can restructure terms without collapsing, Beach Hat communication so the tone stays productive, and Police Hat defense so you can slow down, question vagueness, and catch hidden risk in “boilerplate” contract language.Then we get personal and practical: what happens when pressure enters the room. We walk through five negotiation styles competitive, collaborative, accommodating, avoiding, and analytical and show how each can win the moment or lose the deal if you rely on it blindly. The goal is not a new personality. It's a better ability to choose your approach in licensing negotiations, partnership talks, investor conversations, and IP agreements.If this helps you, subscribe, share it with someone heading into a deal, and leave a review so more creators can negotiate with clarity and protect what they've built.Send us Fan MailCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.The views and opinions expressed (by the host and guest(s)) in this podcast are strictly their own and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the entities with which they may be affiliated.

Some encounters with the unknown announce themselves with a single dramatic moment. Others begin quietly, as a feeling you can't name — one that follows you from room to room, from childhood into adulthood, until the pattern becomes impossible to dismiss. We explore a lifetime of shadow-person encounters that began in the unlikeliest place: a bright, ordinary childhood bedroom in a safe Maryland suburb. What started as a vague sense of being watched evolved into visions, apparitions, and moments of paralysis that stretched across multiple homes, states, and stages of life. From silent figures lingering in doorways to a top-hatted entity emerging from a blinding white void, her story reveals how some presences don't simply haunt a location — they follow a person. Years later, a stranger would share an eerily similar vision, suggesting these beings may be more organized, more intelligent, and more purposeful than she ever imagined. #Ghosts #ShadowPeople #ParanormalEncounters #LifelongHaunting #TopHatMan #SupernaturalExperiences #ShadowFigures #TrueGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #UnseenPresence Love real ghost stories?

Al Roker on The Today Show can totally pull of a fedora hat! And Jessica thinks that Cush could rock a Top Hat!

Wait, my 697th podcast about a 90-year-old, B&W musical is just destined to set download records, isn't it?! Well, maybe there's no chance of that, but an Astaire/Rogers love story with an idiot plot IS fodder for a sarcastic monologue. You're bound to have at least 1/4 of as much fun with this episode as I had preparing it. Top Hat is similar to Fred & Ginger's reviled Swing Time (reviled around HERE anyway), yet it's certainly better…and it's probably F&G's most-famous film though. Mark Sandrich directs his stars through several terrific dance numbers, including the classic "Cheek To Cheek". There are some great things here. So put on your fancy clothes and prepare to fall in love at first sight with a woman who thinks you're a small, skinny liar as I guide you through the doin's in Top Hat. Note: Astaire dancing in sync with silhouettes of himself (and, unfortunately, while also in blackface) was done in Swing Time. Subscribe to the show, but also take some time to offer up some feedback. Write an email (haveyoueverseenpodcast@gmail.com) or fire off something on social media ("ryan-ellis" on Bluesky and "@moviefiend51" on Twi-X). Rate and review Have You Ever Seen in your app as well.

Syngenta Flowers' Dr. Brian Krug and Dr. Jamie Gibson join Tech On Demand host Bill Calkins to discuss the exciting world of begonias, focusing on both vegetative and seed varieties. They explore the latest introductions, production best practices and the importance of lighting and PGRs in growing high-quality begonias. The discussion highlights the growing popularity of begonias in gardening and their versatility in various applications. One of the top new introductions at California Spring Trials in 2025 was iCandy, a vegetative series of hybrid begonias for quarts and up—with double flowers and dark foliage—and Brian spends time detailing production best practices before moving on to other vegetative series including Adora (perfect for baskets), Birthday Bash (more traditional, waxy foliage and double flowers) and Florencio (a boliviensis hybrid). Then Jamie goes through tips and tricks for producing a few newer seed-raised series from Syngenta including Bossa Nova (boliviensis types), Bionic (large, interspecific landscape type) Tophat (early-to-flower interspecifics with huge flowers) and Limitless (tuberous). For each series, Brian and Jamie discuss production recommendations from propagation through finish—including lighting protocols, PGR regimes, temperature requirements and much more. Strategies to reduce the risk of blind cuttings are also shared. WATCH THE VIDEO!

Some houses don't just hold memories — they absorb them, twist them, and spit them back out in ways that can haunt a family for generations. This is one of those true haunted house stories. For nearly 40 years, one family lived under the same roof. Arguments, laughter, fear, and grief soaked into its walls. And from the youngest child's earliest memories, the house seemed alive — flickering fans that switched on by themselves, shadows passing across doors, footsteps echoing when no one was there. At first, it seemed harmless, even dismissible. But then came the Ouija board. What began as a childhood prank turned into something darker — sisters unable to breathe mid-session, children terrified of closets, and whispers in the night that mimicked family members' voices. And always, looming in the background, was the man in the top hat. He appeared in the backyard in broad daylight. He stood in doorways, silent and towering. Friends who never believed in the paranormal saw him, too — proving this was no simple imagination. Was this a poltergeist, feeding off decades of energy? A generational haunting passed through objects like the Ouija board? Or something far older, lurking behind closets, mirrors, and doorways, wearing the faces of those they loved?   #RealGhostStories #TrueHaunting #HauntedHouse #OuijaBoardGoneWrong #ManInTheHat #ShadowPeople #CreepyStories #ParanormalActivity #HauntedCloset #GhostEncounters #FamilyHaunting #TrueStory Love real ghost stories?

On this edition of Real Ghost Stories Online Live, the darkness begins in a cemetery. Allie from Philadelphia shares one of the earliest ghost stories she ever heard—passed down from her skeptical father. As a teen, her father and friends gathered in a family cemetery one night. When one boy tried to vandalize a tombstone, everything stopped. A voice cut through the silence: “Hey, you kids!” Blocking the only exit was a towering figure in a top hat. No face. No features. Just a shadow, impossibly tall and pointing straight at them. The boys scattered in panic, but the image seared itself into her father's memory. Days later, in the local library, he found a sepia family portrait. The patriarch of the cemetery's owners stared back from the photo—tall, hat perched high—the same man they had seen days before. This chilling tale leads into the enduring mystery of the “Top Hat Man,” a figure reported worldwide—looming shadows in hats, watching silently before vanishing. Are they spirits dressed in their finest, cultural echoes of the past… or a single entity manifesting across generations? The hosts dive into this phenomenon, linking it to other archetypal apparitions: the woman in white, the man in black, the red-dressed figures haunting bedrooms at night. And in a darkly comedic twist, the night closes with an “ABC Prime Time” parody—familiar sitcoms warped into tales of murder, possession, and shadowed horrors lurking just beyond the laugh track. Nostalgia becomes nightmare, reminding us that even the warmest memories can curdle when the shadows slip in. Tonight's stories capture both terror and absurdity. From the cemetery apparition no skeptic could deny to sitcoms turned sinister, one truth remains: the shadows are always closer than we think. And sometimes, they're wearing a top hat. #TopHatMan #ShadowFigure #RealGhostStories #CemeteryGhost #HauntedPhiladelphia #ParanormalActivity #GhostClothes #HatManEncounters #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStoriesOnline Love real ghost stories?

Featuring a couple of bona fide bangers by Irving Berlin, this Fred and Ginger bonanza, in which misunderstandings, misidentification and miscommunication slows true love's flow, was the pair's most successful film. But will the ‘idiot plot' be too frustrating for words? Can Mick deal with the sheer amount of tap dancing? Why is Hannah screaming and refusing to look at the screen? And what am “Venice”?

We wrap up our Summer Preview slate just as we do every year, with the battle for the Top Hat and Illinois. The Illini are coming off their best season in a while as they continue to embody the Bret Bielema system. But last year they seemed to come out on the right side of almost every close game they played. Will that luck continue into the 2025 campaign?
