Podcasts about top takeaways

This year was filled with major developments, from Netflix's planned WBD deal to Omnicom's acquisition of IPG to the introduction of AI-only video feeds. But there were also developments that didn't really happen, like the U.S. spinoff of TikTok and Google's third-party cookie deprecation. Digiday editors Sara Jerde and Seb Joseph joined hosts Kimeko McCoy and Tim Peterson to recap the year that was (and wasn't).

“The idea behind Arctic Bath was born at Treehotel. And I think this is also an important part of the story. How new crazy things inspire other crazy people to do crazy things that nobody says is possible. We are not competing with each other, we are completing each other—working together and bringing people to each other. That's the way that we work with tourism in this area.”We're in great company with Maarten Raes and Peter Engström, two of the original visionary partners behind Arctic Bath, a one-of-a-kind hotel, spa, and restaurant floating on the serene Lule River in Swedish Lapland, where frost-covered forests transform with the seasons and the Northern Lights dance above the Arctic landscape. Here, they have reimagined what luxury means—not through excess, but through authenticity, nature, and slow travel. What makes Arctic Bath so extraordinary is the quiet conviction behind it—the grit it took to build something real, a team committed to genuine hospitality, and a philosophy that proves luxury is found in connection, not consumption.In this winter episode, we discover how slowing down in the Arctic teaches us what truly matters—and why some of the most meaningful travel experiences happen when we stop rushing and start listening.Top Takeaways[9:50] The story behind Arctic Bath's iconic circular main building meant to mimic timber logs jamming in rapids—and how architect Bertil Harström designed it as a visual tribute to the Lule River's legacy.[15:20] Amidst construction delays, a pandemic six weeks after opening, and countless late nights fixing things behind the scenes, Peter quietly delivered a serene sanctuary for their first season of worldly guests.[19:10] The Michelin Key arrived not for the rooms, the architecture, or the food alone—but for the intangible thing guests keep trying to describe—the genuine warmth of a team that chose to create something real.[21:45] Three ways to experience Arctic Bath: Land and Suite cabins offer spacious luxury, while floating Water rooms let you swim from your bed in summer and listen to the ice sing beneath you in winter.[24:45] The sauna and cold plunge ritual—rooted in centuries of Nordic living—transforms guests and locals alike, awakening something so natural that no manufactured wellness experience at home can replicate.[27:10] Each plate at Arctic Bath tells a story—of the river, the forest, the northern lights—translating the landscape into something guests can taste compliments of the relationships with local fishermen, farmers, and herders. [29:40] A winter day unfolds: dogsledding or snowshoe hiking with locals, Sámi stories shared around an open fire, a luxurious Swedish spa experience—and if you're fortunate, the Northern Lights dancing above in the endless night sky.[32:45] Arctic Bath's sustainability runs deeper than awards—it's woven into every choice, a commitment to nurturing the small businesses and community that make this place possible.Notable MentionsNordic CollectionTreehotel in Swedish LaplandVisit For YourselfArctic Bath Website | @arcticbath_sweden

With the Winter Meetings now in the rearview mirror, it was fitting that the week's first Schwarbomb was, well, Kyle Schwarber reupping with the Phillies, kickstarting a spate of moves.

“ Beaumier is a story that began truly 10 years ago if we go back to the beginning of the portfolio. But this story of implementing soulful luxury properties and beautiful environments, really rooted in the local culture—it's less than five years old. We're a very young brand, I would say.”We're in great company with Anna Fedou, Brand & Marketing Director of Beaumier Hotels, a curated collection of ten soulful luxury properties woven across Europe's most enchanting landscapes—from Provence and the Riviera to the Alpine peaks and Ibiza. Beaumier is built on a philosophy of "the art of living differently"—a belief that true hospitality begins not with grand gestures, but with listening—to the landscape, to the people who call it home, to the history woven into its walls. Rather than imposing a predetermined style, each property emerges as an act of discovery, honoring its surroundings while breathing new life into them with the spirit of a curious explorer and the care of a devoted steward.In this winter episode, Anna shares how her own multicultural upbringing—shaped by movement between cultures and meaningful family moments—informs Beaumier's approach to creating spaces where guests feel genuinely at home, offering us timely lessons in slowing down, belonging, and the kind of intentional living we all crave as the holidays approach.Top Takeaways[1:50] How Anna's childhood spent traveling between France, Portugal, Spain, and London—punctuated by magical family holidays discovering the world together—became the compass that would eventually guide her career in creating meaningful, connected experiences for others.[6:40] What began as a small collection of Alpine ski hotels transformed into a spirit of adventure named Beaumier—seeking out hidden architectural treasures and breathing new life into them with intention and reverence.[19:40] At Beaumier, guests reconnect with nature and themselves through thoughtfully curated spaces where design, storytelling, and “happy accidents” become conversation starters that spark joy regardless of cultural background. [24:15] Winter Properties: L'Alpaga in Megève, Les 3 Vallées in Courchevel, Le Val Thorens and Le Fitz Roy in Val Thorens—all provide distinctive perspectives and experiences of the French Alps—while the Grand Hotel Belvedere in Wengen is a historic hideaway in the Swiss Alps.[26:00] Summer Properties: Capelongue, Le Moulin and Le Galinier  show different sides of Provence—while Les Roches Rouges sits peacefully overlooking the Côte d'Azur, and Petunia dispels the myth of Ibiza.[30:55] What ties together ten distinct properties across Europe isn't a playbook—it's a commitment to locally sourced cuisine, genuine human connection, and a deeply personal approach to wellbeing that honors what each guest truly needs to feel whole.[35:50] A first glimpse into Wengen's revival through Grand Hotel Belvedere—a revitalized property breathing new life into a sleeping beauty destination that's been beautifully unchanged for decades, inspiring the entire community to awaken alongside it.Visit For YourselfBeaumier Website | @beaumierhotels Bon Voyage by Beaumier

Plus, how to hire a VA team that repurposes one 15–20 minute video into a week's worth of social content and newsletter touchpoints.3️⃣ The 4:00 AM routine, journaling, gratitude, and planning rituals that keep top producers sharp, and how Larry expanded from VA specialist into Non-QM, DSCR, bank statement, and foreign national loans—plus how he uses stories and lunch & learns so Realtors and CPAs actually know what he can solve.Books Mentioned in This EpisodeBecoming Supernatural: How Common People are Doing the Uncommon – Dr. Joe DispenzaNinja Selling – Larry KendallGivers Gain: The BNI Story – Dr. Ivan MisnerABOUT TIM BRAHEEMWith more than 25 years of experience as a highly successful mortgage professional, industry leader, educator, and life coach, Tim Braheem is committed to engaging with people on a deep level and helping them uncover the barriers they have placed in the way of having the level of success they deserve in both their business and personal lives.FOLLOW Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/tbraheem/LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbraheemTHE LOAN ATLASJOIN ► https://go.theloanatlas.com/membership FOLLOWInstagram ► https://www.instagram.com/theloanatlas/YOUTUBE ► https://www.youtube.com/@LoanAtlas----------

In this Tech Tuesday episode of Foresight Radio, Steve Moran sits down with Sharon, a leader from "Connect," a research-backed engagement platform that's been 25+ years in the making. What begins as a conversation about dementia technology quickly reveals something deeper: connection is the most essential ingredient in cognitive wellness — and in many ways, the very heart of caregiving. Sharon unpacked why human beings — especially those living with dementia — rely on meaningful social interaction to maintain cognitive strength, confidence, and quality of life. She shared how traditional "keep them busy" activities fall short, and how purposeful engagement built around opinions, preferences, and advice unlocks dignity, joy, and real human connection. Steve brought the topic home with personal stories about his stepfather, Gary, highlighting the emotional weight caregivers carry when familiar conversations fade, questions repeat, and meaningful engagement becomes harder to spark. Sharon explained how Connect's science-backed approach helps caregivers (family and professional) rediscover connection, reduce anxiety, create shared moments, and help individuals with dementia feel seen, valued, and capable. As we enter Thanksgiving — a season built on gratitude and togetherness — this conversation is a powerful reminder: Connection isn't just nice to have. It's cognitive medicine. It's emotional nourishment. And it's at the core of truly human care. ⭐ Top Takeaways 1. Connection = Cognitive Wellness Dementia care isn't just about safety or activity calendars — it's about belonging, purpose, and shared moments. Social connection is as essential to brain health as nutrition or sleep. 2. Stop quizzing. Start connecting. People with dementia don't want to be tested. Instead, use OPA questions: Opinions Preferences Advice These spark pride, memory, creativity, and dignity. 3. The "looping" technique builds deeper conversations. Start with an engaging question, discover a spark, and continue the theme through stories, images, or activities. Each moment becomes a bridge to the next. 4. Technology can elevate human connection — not replace it. Tools like Connect guide caregivers toward meaningful conversation, help build trust, and uncover capabilities you may not have known were still possible. 5. Purpose beats entertainment. People living with dementia don't just need to be occupied. They need roles, contribution, and identity — just like all of us. 6. AI will play a growing role in combating loneliness. While human-to-human interaction is ideal, AI's infinite patience and ability to spark conversation may become a meaningful supplement in the future. 7. Thanksgiving reminder: being seen is the ultimate gift. Whether you're a family caregiver or a senior living professional, one small moment of connection can change someone's entire day — and yours.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with my good friend, business strategist, consultant and author, Jessica Lackey, for a candid conversation about what it really takes to build a sustainable business—especially when you have an ADHD-ish brain. Jessica shares her journey from Harvard, McKinsey, and Nike to the wild world of entrepreneurship, revealing how even with such impressive credentials, she found herself trapped in the endless loop of online business tactics, quick fixes, and shiny promises.Drawing on her upcoming book, Leaving the Casino: Stop Betting on Tactics, and Start Building a Business That Works, Jessica explains why so many of us end up gambling away our sanity (and savings) on the latest tactics, instead of building actual strategies that work for our lives and brains. Get ready for frameworks, real talk about defining your own version of success, and practical advice on bringing more intentionality and enoughness into your business (and life). It's time to leave the casino behind—and reclaim your agency.Top Takeaways from this Episode:Start with Strategy, Not Tactics: The endless cycle of purchasing the latest digital course or marketing hack often leads to overwhelm, wasted resources, and lost confidence. Sustainable businesses are built on strategy and thoughtful decision-making, not reactive, one-size-fits-all tactics.Ask Yourself the Big Questions: Before chasing the next big thing, get clarity on key fundamentals:What type of business do you really want to run?What stage are you in?What is the right pace and amount for your life and brain?What level of responsibility and commitment matches your reality?What does “enough” look like for you? These questions ground your business in reality instead of fantasy.Don't Compare Your Solo Journey to the Big Players: The polished marketers often have large teams and structures flattening out the chaos. If you're a team of one (especially with an ADHD-ish brain), your output and path will—and should—look different.There's power in slowing down, cutting through the noise, and building a business that fits you—not a casino of empty promises.About Jessica Lackey Jessica Lackey is the founder of Deeper Foundations, a consulting and training firm that helps expertise-based business owners grow and scale sustainable companies rooted in stronger business foundations.

“Generally you have to choose one and drive to the other. You have to choose either a rural setting or an area that has all these services with it—you walk to the schools, the hospitality, the shops, the medical services. And so one of the key things is it's all here—you just decide which door you're gonna go out.”We're in great company with Steve Nygren, the visionary behind, and steward of Serenbe, an award winning biophilic community on the edge of Atlanta that connects its residents and guests to nature and each other. A place where fresh air, fresh food, and fresh ideas flourish. Whether you come for a weekend escape at The Inn at Serenbe or envision making it home for a lifetime, this community offers a living model of how we can reconnect with what matters most.In this Thanksgiving episode, Steve reminds us that if we want to change the world, we can start in our own backyards—sharing how his family's dedication to protecting their land has blossomed into a movement inspiring communities around the globe to live in harmony with nature.Top Takeaways[1:45] Listen as Steve's story comes full circle, from farm roots through urban hospitality ownership, ultimately back to the land where he planned to raise his family—only to discover it was threatened by urban sprawl and desperately in need of a creative solution.[4:30] “ The effort was to not convince one side to come over to the other, but rather find a solution where each group could get more, that we could get a higher value for the land than they had ever thought they could, and to preserve more of it than we ever thought possible.” [11:10] With English countryside villages and European hamlets as his blueprint, Steve built Serenbe on four essential components—art for inspiration, agriculture for nourishment, health and wellness for vitality, and education for growth.[15:10]  Across 2,000 acres of biophilic community design, Serenbe's miles of nature trails weave together homes, restaurants, and arts businesses while immersing visitors in rich sensory experiences around every corner. [20:30] At The Inn at Serenbe, guests can experience community life firsthand through a selection of rooms and cottages that offer both modern luxury and authentic connection to the land, complete with farm-to-table dining and access to all of Serenbe's wellness amenities.[22:30] Guests can dine and drink in good company across Serenbe's spectrum of culinary offerings—from refined seasonal menus to casual bites around the community—with every dish celebrating locally sourced ingredients grown under the nurturing care of neighbors. [25:25] Serenbe's amenities and activities celebrate both relaxation and exploration, offering everything from rejuvenating yoga classes to horseback riding adventures, and charming community experiences like feeding farm animals and listening to live music.[28:50] At its core, biophilic design embraces living in harmony with nature as a community to achieve well-being, sustainability and prosperity, creating spaces where this principle can flourish for individuals, the places we live, and the world around us.[30:10] Serenbe's future embraces a vision of "free range kids" and elders living in harmony together, applying Blue Zone principles to create a lifestyle that values longevity, community, and the richness of multigenerational living.Notable MentionsLast Child In The Woods by Richard LouvAtlanta BeltlineNew York City High LineStart In Your Own Backyard by Steve NygrenVisit For YourselfSerenbe Website | @serenbeSteve Nygren Website

A lot of team leaders are trying to grow right now, but very few know how to scale without burning out, losing culture, or drowning in problems that show up the moment the business gets bigger. That tension is exactly where Lindsay Stevens built her strength. And the way she talks about these challenges will make every real estate leader stop and think.   On this episode of the GRIT Podcast, Brian Charlesworth sits down with Lindsay, co-owner and team leader of Stevens Real Estate, to uncover how she went from overwhelmed agent to running one of the fastest-growing teams in her market.    The twist is that none of it came from perfect planning. It came from saying yes to uncomfortable moments, including being thrown onto a five-thousand-person stage with one week to prepare. She also breaks down the discipline required to survive New York's long 120-day transaction cycle. It is the kind of cycle that forces leaders to either master their systems or get buried by them.   Lindsay talks about the seasons she had to fight through distractions, doubt, and long days that made her question whether she was even built for leadership. She shares a simple line that keeps her centered. "Life is hard. Real estate is hard. But the sun comes up tomorrow." It is the kind of line that hits differently when you hear the story behind it.   Brian and Lindsay also break down a moment that shifted their entire operation. Dialing in their Sisu stages, statuses, and tagging finally removed the chaos inside New York's long transaction cycle, and it changed the way their agents performed. As she puts it, "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems."   Top Takeaways:   (2:23) Saying yes to a 5000-person stage (9:51) Breakthroughs after wanting to quit (12:02) CEO vs. team leader roles in a business (14:21) How Sisu rebuilt transaction flow (21:08) The power of proximity and fast execution (32:19) Scaling with leverage and a new COO (32:12) Working on the business, not in the business (37:58) Why systems come before 20 agents (38:28) Micro commitments and predictable wins in Sisu (42:21) AI as a business partner and coach (45:00) Why AI will not replace relationships in real estate   If you want an honest look at growth, leadership, and the real work behind building a strong team, this episode with Lindsay will pull you in from the first few minutes.   About Lindsay Stevens   Lindsay Stevens is a Hudson Valley native and co-founder of Stevens Realty Group, featured on HGTV's House Hunters. She led New Paltz as the top sales agent in 2017, 2018, and 2019 while growing the firm into a multi-million dollar real estate and property management company. With a background in Legal Studies and Business from UMass Amherst, she has worked in sales, marketing, and communications with companies like Edelman and Morgan Stanley. Lindsay is also a mother of two and an active runner who has deep roots in the Hudson Valley community.   Connect with Lindsay: LinkedIn

If you feel like you're working twice as hard for half the results, it's not the market holding you back. It's the inner work you haven't done yet.In this solo episode of The 360 Experience podcast, Tim Braheem takes you deep into the real engine behind every originator's success: the 60,000–90,000 thoughts they think each day, and the emotions and energy those thoughts create.So many loan officers struggle with call reluctance, fear of rejection, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout. Tim explains why these patterns have nothing to do with scripts or skill, and everything to do with old belief systems running silently in the background.This is the inner game behind the outer results.Top Takeaways for Loan Officers:1️⃣ Why 80–90% of your thoughts today are the same ones you had yesterday, and how those loops directly influence production, relationships, and mindset.2️⃣ How survival patterns formed early in life (perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoiding conflict) become hidden blockers in business, and how to rewire them.3️⃣ A practical framework for creating space between stimulus and response so you stop reacting, start responding, and lead from a calm, grounded, high-energy state.Links to purchase the books Tim Mentioned: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor FranklABOUT TIM BRAHEEMWith more than 25 years of experience as a highly successful mortgage professional, industry leader, educator, and life coach, Tim Braheem is committed to engaging with people on a deep level and helping them uncover the barriers they have placed in the way of having the level of success they deserve in both their business and personal lives.FOLLOW Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/tbraheem/LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbraheemTHE LOAN ATLASJOIN ► https://go.theloanatlas.com/membership FOLLOWInstagram ► https://www.instagram.com/theloanatlas/YOUTUBE ► https://www.youtube.com/@LoanAtlas----------

Rebranding a beloved, 29-year-old beverage is one of the riskiest moves a CEO can make. But in this episode, Ben Mand, CEO of Yerba Madre, walks us through how he pulled off what most leaders avoid: renaming and relaunching a legacy brand — with full community support — and reigniting growth in the process.Under 4% of Americans even know what yerba mate is, yet Yerba Madre (formerly Guayakí) generates nearly $200 million in annual sales and dominates a fast-emerging category. When Ben took over in 2024, the business wasn't growing, innovation had stalled, and profitability was strained. Within a year, he streamlined the supply chain, rebuilt the route to market, launched new innovation, and guided a high-stakes rebrand that consumers embraced — thanks to months of groundwork with the brand's 10,000+ loyal ambassadors.For drinks entrepreneurs, this episode breaks down the tactics, sequencing, and frameworks behind one of the most successful rebrands in beverage.Top Takeaways for Drinks Entrepreneurs

In this episode of Laugh, Lend & Eat, Fobby brings on one of the most respected voices in housing research, Kristin Messerli, to tackle a problem the mortgage industry can't afford to ignore:

“ It has to mean something to you in order for it to mean something to anybody else. And that's all we're dealing with really. We're giving people the most authentic version of what we see as hospitality that we can give.  For us it's a very simple equation of giving what we really would like to receive.”We're in great company with Gem Boner and Thom Scherdel, the tastemakers behind Restaries, a collection of contemporary accommodations and event spaces located on the border of Suffolk and Norfolk, where epic woodlands meet serene sea fronts. Here, they have curated not just a place to stay, but a deliberate pause from the ordinary grind. Set on the grounds of a 16th-century Suffolk farm with a rich history spanning cider production to New World Music distribution, Paradise Farm has always been about creating experiences that bring people together.In this episode, Gem and Thom discuss how they've learned that luxury comes not from ostentation but from time, connection, and the simple art of making every guest feel genuinely welcomed home.Top Takeaways[1:50] After years of telling other brands' stories—from Topshop showrooms to Soho House events—Gem and Thom discovered that their greatest collaboration would be both personal and professional—creating the hospitality experience they'd always wished existed.[9:10] From bubbling cider production to spinning vinyl records, Paradise Farm has always been about creating experiences that bring people together—a legacy Gem and Thom honor as they write their own chapter in this 500-year story of craft, culture, and community.[16:05] Perfectly positioned among Suffolk's coastal heritage, rolling farmland, and vibrant independent towns, Paradise Farm's 10 secluded acres offer everything from tree-lined tranquility to quick beach escapes and the kind of brilliant stargazing that inspired their very name. [20:50] Each accommodation honors its original purpose while embracing “Mother Nature's color palette,” championing sustainable brands and local ceramicists whose stories are shared through Restaries' Rest & Read series.[25:20] “We adapt the land to cater for every need"—from romantic proposal setups in candlelit spaces to pizza-making in lush gardens, from woodland cocktails classes to communal dining experiences—Gem and Thom create the art of play and discovery through genuine hospitality.[29:15] Restaries' "marketing team" of Pedigree Pygmy goats, Valais Blacknose sheep, and Kune Kune pigs offer guests real things and real feelings—from naughty goats greeting arrivals to calm alpacas that respond to chilled energy.[33:00] Kitchen garden beginnings meet seasoned culinary takeovers and locally acclaimed producers—as Restaries becomes the home for London chefs looking to escape the city to craft woodland dining experiences with seasonal Suffolk produce.Notable MentionsDesign & That interior designColors of Arley fabricsPophams ceramicsVerden scentsSomerset GrillChef @WasteNotRowen Fen Farm Dairy Flint VineyardThe SuffolkThe Black Dog DeliPinchAlde CafeGreyhound InnThorpeness villageThe Gunton ArmsEarsham Street DeliFocus OrganicThe Southwold Flower CompanyBlack Lines DrinksVisit For YourselfRestaries Website | @restaries

In this episode of Full Disclosure – Live!, DebtBook product leaders Stephen Yokim and James Perez sit down with Joey Fuqua, Finance Director for the City of Henderson, North Carolina, to discuss modernization, resilience, and what's ahead for a small city on the cusp of growth. In early 2024, a ransomware attack disrupted Henderson's access to critical financial data and reporting systems. Amid the challenge of restoring operations, DebtBook played a key role in helping the city maintain audit compliance and keep essential reporting processes running smoothly. Joey reflects on the experience as both a test of resilience and a turning point in how Henderson approaches data security and cloud-based systems moving forward. Joey traces his ten years in Henderson, describing how he replaced paper-heavy workflows with automation which improved controls and generated more than $150,000 in unbudgeted bank rebates. He shares why Henderson adopted DebtBook for GASB lease and subscription compliance and how he's now evaluating a move from debt spreadsheets to DebtBook's debt management module for added resilience. Looking ahead, Joey shares some of Henderson's opportunities: proximity to the Research Triangle, two interstates, and a $100M+ regional water plant upgrade that will double capacity and support new development. With council transitions and zoning work underway, he's focused on positioning the city for sustainable growth after decades of industrial change.  Top Takeaways: (1) Cyber Lessons, The Hard Way: A late-February ransomware incident wiped local files, showing the need for independent backups, cloud-first operations, and rigorous vendor oversight. (2) Hands-On Partnership Matters: DebtBook proactively reached out, restored access to key records already in the platform, and guided workflows, helping Henderson stay audit-ready while other systems were rebuilt. (3) Positioned for Growth: With proximity to the Research Triangle, two interstates, and a $100M+ regional water plant upgrade set to double capacity, Henderson is aligning infrastructure and governance to capture incoming development.

“  So what I really want from Fowlescombe is actually that you come away feeling like you've stayed with a friend—if that friend was an amazing cook, had really beautiful guest rooms, and was a fantastic host—who'd looked after you really well and who'd really made the effort to show you around. Because actually there's nothing better than visiting a place with a friend, seeing it through their eyes and feeling like you've seen something a bit different.”We're in great company with Caitlin Owens, the proud new owner and managing director of Fowlescombe Farm, a quietly luxurious and restorative rural retreat of just ten beautifully designed suites, nestled at the heart of a 450-acre regenerative farm, set close to the wilds of Dartmoor in Devon.Dating back to 1537, rich with ghost stories and Sherlock Holmes lore, this historic estate became the perfect canvas for Caitlin to realize her childhood dream of owning a hotel when she returned home to the English countryside ready to pave her own path. In this episode, Caitlin takes us through her philosophy of doing luxury differently—learning from her time at Four Seasons but choosing intimacy over opulence, inviting overnight guests to participate in farm rhythms while opening her table to the local community, and pioneering regenerative hospitality that cares for land, nourishes guests, and sustains her family business.Top Takeaways[2:00] Caitlin's childhood dream of owning a hotel found its home when she returned during lockdown to rediscover the beauty of Devon's countryside and the opportunity within her family's farm. [8:50] The estate, owned by the Fowle family since 1537, sits among Dartmoor's mystical landscape—rich in folklore, witchcraft history, haunting tales of ghostly hounds, and the backdrop for a Sherlock Holmes best seller.[16:20] Rather than replicate Four Seasons' luxury through choice and opulence, Caitlin built Fowlescombe around removing decisions—curating an intentional experience that feels like staying with a trusted friend who takes care of every detail.[21:20] Caitlin's favorite season brings the energy of new calves and lambs, bees buzzing through wildflowers, savory wild garlic scenting the woods, and the surprising sweetness of gorse on the moorland.[23:50] Every suite designed by creative director Paul Glade prioritizes tactile luxury—soft wool from their own flock, stone quarried on the farm, English oak, and layered fabrics that invite guests to touch and connect with the sense of place. [27:50] From childhood books to wellies in every size, every object at Fowlescombe has a story and is chosen intentionally so guests can connect to the place and carve out their own space on the farm.[31:30] Overnight guests harvest eggs and make bread with the chefs, while local dinner guests tour the gardens before sharing the communal table—creating connections to the farm and community through food.[39:20] Caitlin envisions a future where the community of people wanting to do luxury differently grows, and the concept of regenerative practices extends beyond farming to hospitality itself.Notable MentionsThe Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan DoyleVisit For YourselfFowlescombe Farm Website | @fowlescombe

“  I feel like Berlin is a city where anything is possible, while never quite achieving polished glamor. And that's its charm. There is no steep hierarchy to enter the art scene, or any scene to be honest. And that is what we wanted to reflect here in Château Royal Berlin, this kind of openness and uniqueness.”We're in great company with Kirsten Landwehr, co-founder and curator of Château Royal, an enchanting and eccentric boutique hotel in the heart of Berlin Mitte, where craftsmanship and reinterpretation have revived what was once en vogue during the city's former golden ages, now adorned with contemporary art and convivial hosts.Rooted in Berlin's creative pulse, Kirsten and her husband, restaurateur Stephan Landwehr of Grill Royal fame, have transformed two historic buildings into a living gallery—one that celebrates design, culture, and the art of gathering. With her background in art and photography curation, Kirsten's vision marries history and modernity with effortless elegance.In this episode, Kirsten shares how she's shaped Berlin's art and hospitality scenes—revealing her philosophy on collecting, creating soulful spaces, and honoring the ever-evolving spirit of her city.Top Takeaways[2:00] As a child, Kirsten always dreamed of a bigger and better world. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she decided to set out and steward that world herself. [4:00] How Kirsten and her husband, Stephan, with their shared appreciation for Berlin's creative energy and culinary artistry, fed and fueled the birth of Berlin's contemporary art scene through their cult classic restaurant, Grill Royal. [7:00] Hear the turbulent history of two historic buildings in the heart of Berlin Mitte, steps away from the Brandenburg Gate—from being the center of the Golden Twenties to falling into disrepair after WWII, from being used for surveillance during the GDR to housing the studios of squatting artists after the Berlin Wall.  [9:00] As Kirsten and Stephan breathed new life into these buildings, curating what would become Château Royal Berlin, they set out to create a space that was “decidedly cosmopolitan, yet unimaginable in any other city.”[10:20] Today, Château Royal Berlin is full of life and conviviality—as locals and travelers, artists and guests, fill the space with their own perspectives and fresh ideas. [11:45] With 93 guest rooms to design and a deep personal determination that no two would be the same, Kirsten invited her artist community to fill their spaces. What then became #93Rooms93Artists, was a permanent home for these artists to proudly showcase their work, host their own guests and welcome in new friends.[14:30] At Restaurant Château Royal, a creative menu and curated atmosphere proves food can be fancy while still being familiar and fresh.Notable MentionsDirector Edward BergerArtist & Art Collector Damien HirstChâteau Royal's Guide to BerlinSaint Charles ApothecaryVenini Lamps & Chandeliers Visit For YourselfChâteau Royal Berlin Website | @chateauroyalberlin 

What does it take to go from solo agent to community leader? For Sandee Payne, the answer came from a single moment of saying yes before she was ready. A military spouse turned interior designer, Sandee spent years helping families feel at home across the world. That love for creating spaces eventually led her to real estate, where she built a thriving business centered on listings and design-driven marketing.   Early in her real estate career, Sandee noticed that agents often worked hard but lacked structure. Determined to change that, she tracked everything and shared what she learned. Her natural ability to teach became a foundation for coaching others. “I realized if I could do it, anyone could,” she said.   Her defining moment came on stage at a Tom Ferry event, when she was dared to sign 100 listings in 10 months. With 8,000 people watching, she accepted. The challenge forced her to focus, simplify, and prove what was possible through consistent effort. “I had to believe it before I could see it,” she recalled. Ten months later, she reached 103 listings.   That accomplishment sparked something bigger. Sandee created a Facebook group that grew into thousands of agents following her strategies. What started as one bet evolved into a full accountability platform, showing others how to set measurable goals and follow through.   In this episode, Brian Charlesworth talks with Sandee about turning pressure into performance, the power of public accountability, and how her Zero to 100 Listing Challenge is helping agents shift from reaction to intention. They also explore why systems, mindset, and community are now the backbone of her business.    Top Takeaways:   (3:48) Life as a military spouse and constant change (6:28) From interior design to real estate (8:58) Focusing on listings and early success (10:49) How technology reshaped the industry (14:07) Standing out through creative marketing (15:58) The $10,000 bet that changed everything (18:50) Bringing others along through accountability (22:24) The power of focus and belief (26:09) A $10,000 story of luck and persistence (28:17) Visualizing success before it happens (30:47) Why listing agents hold the leverage (32:56) Building tools and community for agents (34:43) The Zero to 100 Listing Challenge explained   Tune in now to hear how one bold yes turned into a movement that's changing the way agents think about accountability.    Registration for the Zero to 100 Listing Challenge is officially live!

Ohio State men’s basketball beat reporter Adam Jardy talks about his takeaways from Ohio State media day and the timeline of Josh Ojianwuna's return on the newest episode of the BuckeyeXtra basketball podcast.

“ For many of our guests, they normally say, ‘It's not just a stay, it's a memory in the making.' It's a place where time slows down and where the ordinary, what do you say, becomes something truly extraordinary.”We're in great company with Maria Oldenbjerg, the fairy godmother, formally known as the Hotel Director, of the Nimb Hotel in the heart of Copenhagen—where with the enchanting Tivoli Gardens as its lush backdrop, Nimb presents an unparalleled combination of subtle Scandinavian urban luxury, Danish design, meticulous service, and top-tier gastronomy, all infused with a touch of Tivoli enchantment. Born in 1909 within a Moorish-inspired "Bazaar," this architectural gem began as the vision of culinary entrepreneurs Vilhelm and Louise Nimb, who transformed their restaurant into the heartbeat of Copenhagen's dining scene. Today, as the only hotel nestled within Europe's oldest amusement park and recognized among Small Luxury Hotels' elite "Finest Collection" and “Considerate Collection,” Nimb continues to redefine what it means to create authentic and sustainable luxury experiences that blur the lines between heritage and innovation.As seasons change, and ours begins with this episode, Maria invites the young, and the young at heart, to discover how she transforms ordinary moments into something truly magical—where “hygge” isn't just a travel trend, but a way of welcoming the world home.  Top Takeaways[2:00] The Phone Call That Changed Everything: After her first hotel shift, Maria called her mother excitedly: "I found my dream job.

And after a day of excitement, guests retreat to find the soothing musical performances and twinkling lights linger like memories into the night.[16:00] Seasons of Wonder: The hotel breathes with Tivoli's rhythms - Easter treasure hunts, Halloween face painting, Christmas stockings crafted by Danish artisans, each moment woven into memory-making magic.[18:30] Rooms That Hold Stories: Each of Nimb's 38 spacious rooms and suites whispers secrets through understated luxury and timeless elegance, from handpicked antiques set against modern Danish design to complimentary “hygge bars" filled with local Danish delicacies.  [24:00] Culinary Theater: Dining at Nimb goes beyond the dish and becomes a storytelling medium, from Nimb Brasserie's French favorites to the Japanese Pagoda's rotating Michelin-starred chef residencies.[27:00] The Science of Renewal: A hidden wellness sanctuary redefines urban wellness - blending cutting edge technology with globally inspired ancient techniques - replenishing weary travelers with a sense of vitality.[38:40] Living Poetry: Peacocks wander as symbols of grace, their presence so beloved that feathers now adorn linens and inspire children's toys.Notable MentionsDanish DesignGeismars beddingToni fixturesBang & Olufsen audioArtist Cathrine Raben DavidsenFlowers by NimbFrederiksberg, CopenhagenAmager StrandparkDanish SmørrebrødVisit For YourselfNimb Hotel Website | @nimbcopenhagen

Michael shares his unique journey from community planning and public finance banking to leading the Bond Bank, where a staff of just four manages nearly $1 billion in loans supporting schools, infrastructure, clean water, disaster recovery, and more. He takes listeners through the Bond Bank's origins in the 1970s, its innovative state intercept mechanism, and its evolution toward what he calls Bond Bank 2.0, a new financing structure designed to strengthen resiliency while preparing for billions in school construction needs. The conversation details how Vermont municipalities use pooled lending to finance everything from library renovations to gravel pit acquisitions, the latter proving surprisingly vital during recent flooding. Michael also explains how DebtBook's technology helps the Bond Bank maintain data integrity, streamline consent tracking, and ensure long-term organizational resilience. From financing history to modern-day innovation, this episode offers a deeper look at how a small but powerful team is reshaping the way local governments in Vermont access and manage capital. Top Takeaways: (1) Resilience Through Data Integrity: Moving beyond spreadsheets, Michael explains how DebtBook helps the Bond Bank strengthen institutional memory, track resolutions, and ensure continuity for decades to come. (2) From Bond Bank 1.0 to 2.0: To prepare for billions in future school construction, Vermont is shifting its pooled loan structure toward a senior/junior lien model that reduces reliance on state moral obligations. (3) Creative Community Solutions: Beyond traditional schools and libraries, pooled financing has enabled surprising projects like joint gravel pit purchases—proving critical for disaster recovery when floods hit.
