On this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk breaks down why the classic "12-week transformation" model often creates impressive short-term change… and then collapses the moment real life kicks back in. If you've ever got in great shape for a holiday, wedding, or photos — only to end up back where you started weeks later — this is for you. In this episode, Kirk covers: The quick-fix illusion — why short deadlines can create results, but rarely create lasting change The real goal — not "getting in shape fast," but learning how to stay in shape year-round Why most people rebound after a 12-week plan ends (and why it's not a willpower problem) The missing skill: managing food, training, and lifestyle across different seasons of life Why habits can start quickly… but rarely become automatic inside 12 weeks The social reality — restaurants, travel, holidays, stress, late nights, and how these derail most "plans" The identity gap — when your body changes faster than your mindset, old habits pull you back Motivation vs discipline — why motivation gets the results, but discipline keeps them Environment and support — why your surroundings and peer group decide your standards more than your plan does You can make huge progress in 12 weeks. But if the underlying behaviours and identity that created the problem haven't been addressed, you're just renting results — not earning change. For more information on what was discussed in this episode head to https://kirkmiller.co.uk/programme/ The Kirk Miller Podcast is the show for business leaders and peak performers to get into the best physical and mental shape of their lives and unleash from within confidence they never thought possible.

We all love a good before-and-after photo but what no one shows you is the middle. The messy, frustrating, emotional part where progress feels slow, the scale fluctuates, and self-doubt creeps in.In this episode of Candidly with Coffee, we talk honestly about the messy middle of fat loss, the phase where most people quit, even though they're actually doing things right. From mindset struggles and unrealistic expectations to comparing yourself to highlight reels online, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what real transformations actually look like.What you'll learn:✔️ Why fat loss is never linear and why that's normal✔️ What scale fluctuations really mean during a cut✔️ Why the middle phase feels mentally harder than the beginning✔️ How comparison kills momentum and confidence✔️ What real progress looks like when results aren't obvious yet✔️ How to stay consistent when motivation fadesIf you've ever wondered, “Why does this feel so hard even though I'm doing everything right?” , this episode is your reminder to keep going. The messy middle isn't failure… it's where transformation actually happens.#FatLossJourney #TheMessyMiddle #WeightLossReality #MidlifeFitness #ConsistencyOverPerfection #MindsetMatters #CandidlyWithCoffee #PodcastJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_8nonbBsA-mTli1KLlHlrA/joinWork with Jeaninehttps://www.jeanineescobar.comMike's YouTube Channel:  @escoelitemindsetMike's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@escoelitemindsetSupport our Sponsors1UP Nutrition Code: JEANINEhttps://www.1upnutrition.com /discount/jeanineTranscendhttps://www.transcendcompany.com/escoeliteMegaFit Meals - Code Jeanine https://megafitmeals.rfrl.co/p75q7Built Bar Code: MRSCEOJhttps://builtbar.com?baapp=MRSCEOJSupport us by following on Social MediaAmazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mrsceo_jLTK Fashion Links: https://www.shopLTK.com/explore/MrsCEO_JInstagram: https://instagram.com/mrsceo_jInstagram: https://instagram.com/candidly_withcoffeeWeight Loss IG: https://instagram.com/@jsbodybootcampTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsceo_j

If you've been hearing more about psychedelic therapy and wondering whether it's a genuine breakthrough for healing—or just the latest mental health trend—you're not alone. Many people feel curious, hopeful, and skeptical all at once. This conversation is meant to help you slow down, understand what the research actually shows, and think clearly about whether this path is right for you. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, I'm joined by psychiatrist and MDMA-assisted psychotherapist Dr. Scott Shannon, founder of Wholeness Center, the largest integrative mental health center in the U.S. Together, we talk about how psychedelic therapy works differently from conventional psychiatric treatment, why it can help disrupt rigid trauma patterns in the brain, and what researchers are learning about long-term healing—not just short-term symptom relief. We also spend time on the parts of this conversation that matter just as much: the risks, the ethical boundaries, and the importance of preparation, professional support, and integration. Psychedelic therapy isn't appropriate for everyone, and it isn't something to pursue casually or without careful guidance. This episode offers a grounded, responsible look at how people can think critically about safety, readiness, and what to look for in a qualified provider. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on a few questions: What kind of healing are you actually looking for? What does feeling “better” really mean to you? And how do you decide which growth paths deserve your trust, time, and care? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Psychedelic therapy explained: promise, research, and real risks 02:31 Why psychedelic therapy differs from traditional psychiatric medication 04:55 Trauma, brain patterns, and how psychedelic therapy disrupts stuck loops 07:00 MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD and why healing can continue long after treatment 12:21 A paradigm shift in mental health: supporting the brain's capacity to heal 19:30 What MDMA actually does in therapy: safety, self-compassion, and trauma processing 25:47 Mystical experience, meaning, and the spiritual dimension of psychedelic therapy 30:09 Ethical concerns, safety risks, and how to evaluate psychedelic therapy providers 38:00 Preparation and integration: why psychedelic therapy is more than the experience itself If this conversation leaves you thinking about your own healing or growth, I want to be clear that Growing Self does not offer psychedelic therapy. What we do offer is thoughtful, evidence-based therapy and coaching for people who want to grow with intention and care. If you'd like, I'd love to help you think through what kind of support would actually be most helpful for you. I've created a simple, private way to do that. By answering just a few quick questions, we can help match you with the right therapist or coach for a complimentary consultation—someone who understands what you're navigating and where you'd like to go next. Schedule a free consultation today. Consider it a small gift from me, and a gentle next step if you're ready for one. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

Are you a parent at the end of your rope dealing with your child's complex neurological challenges like tics, Tourette's, ADHD or anxiety?Today, we welcome pioneering functional health expert Dr Piper Gibson, founder of the Regenerating Health and Tic Disorder Institute. Dr Gibson shares her powerful, research-backed journey of helping her own son overcome a transient neurological tic disorder and how she now empowers families globally with a holistic, root-cause approach. Discover why symptoms like tics and anxiety are not random and how underlying issues like gut dysfunction, a dysregulated immune system, environmental toxins and genetics are the true drivers.Key Information 02:33 Discover why neurological symptoms like tics, ADHD and anxiety are not random and how these issues are linked to a dysregulated immune system and root causes beyond typical neurological labels.03:44 Parents often miss the underlying issues (like gut problems, genetics and toxicity) that conventional research overlooks. Learn why treatments must go beyond simple probiotics to address parasites, leaky gut and chronic inflammation.04:51 Understand the powerful and often-overlooked gut-brain axis. Dr Gibson explains how inflammation and leaky gut allow pathogens into the bloodstream, triggering immune cells in the brain and driving neurological symptoms.06:45 Dr Gibson outlines her protocol: first, clean up the environment and change the diet. She emphasizes that detoxing too early on an unsupported gut and body can actually worsen symptoms.10:19 Learn about the specific lab tests used to uncover root causes, including PCR stool pathogen tests, organic acids testing, tests for environmental toxins/heavy metals/mycotoxins (mold) and detailed genetic panels (MTHFR, methylation). 13:09 Genetics are not set in stone. Dr Gibson explains epigenetics, showing how parents can manipulate the child's environment (diet, toxins, supplements) to influence gene expression and effectively "turn off" symptomatic neurological genes. 27:16 #1 Tip: Dr Gibson's top initial tip is to drastically reduce inflammatory sugar and processed foods to immediately support the gut-brain connection and begin the healing process. Piper's Bio Dr Piper Gibson, PhD is a pioneering voice in functional and natural health, specializing in complex neurological conditions like tic disorders, ADHD, and anxiety in children. As the founder of Regenerating Health and the Tic Disorder Institute, she empowers families who are at the end of their rope, offering a research-backed, holistic approach that goes far beyond symptom management. Through advanced lab testing, genetics, and personalized nutrition, she helps uncover the root causes of children's health challenges.

Avec ses 2 500 ans d'histoire, Tanger, située au nord du Maroc, n'a cessé d'évoluer au fil des siècles. Hôte de la CAN 2025, la ville a connu, au cours des quinze dernières années, des transformations urbanistiques majeures : déplacement de la gare ferroviaire et du port de commerce, rénovation de la médina, etc. Ces bouleversements ont créé une bataille entre les anciens et les modernes chez les Tangérois, entre les partisans du changement et les nostalgiques d'une ville plus authentique. Reportage dans une ville entre deux mers et plus particulièrement dans la médina de Tanger. De notre correspondant à Tanger, « Cette kissaria a au moins trois siècles. » Depuis 300 ans, des commerçants comme Hassan vendent des habits traditionnels, caftans ou gandouras, dans cette kissaria, une petite cour intérieure de la médina : « C'est très ancien, c'est dans le style marocain. » Longtemps dégradé, le lieu est désormais refait à neuf : les zelliges (faicences) sur les murs ont été restaurés, et le sol est marbré. Des chanteurs apprécient de venir y tourner des clips. Au total, le Conseil régional affirme avoir consacré près de 14 millions d'euros à la réhabilitation de l'ensemble de la médina. « C'était catastrophique. Maintenant regarde comme c'est bien ! Moi, je vois que la municipalité fait pas mal d'efforts, et ça marche de mieux en mieux. » Youssef, qui a toujours habité dans la vieille ville, salue l'effort, tout comme l'artiste tangérois Noam Chaoudri : « Ils ont refait toutes les façades, tous les bâtiments, toutes les ferronneries. Ils ont ajouté des fleurs, ils ont très bien pavé. C'est une merveille de s'y promener. Mon coin préféré dans tout Tanger, c'est clair que c'est la médina ».  Ces dix dernières années, c'est toute la ville qui a changé de visage. Du haut de ses 22 ans, Abdelrahman, joaillier, a été témoin de cette métamorphose, notamment avec la construction d'un nouveau port de commerce. « Avant, au niveau du port, on n'avait que Tanger Ville, on n'avait pas Tanger Med. Les camions passaient par là, on avait la station de train qui traversait en plein milieu de la corniche, la gare routière, la porte de l'ancien port… C'est très différent, oui. » Au milieu de ses bijoux en or, le jeune homme est presque nostalgique d'un temps révolu : « Moi, je préfère l'ancien. Le nouveau, c'est mieux pour toute la ville, mais moi, je préfère l'ancien ». Explosion du tourisme  « Mieux pour la ville », et pour l'accueil des touristes notamment, émerveillés par une cité au charme unique et aux lumières qui ont inspiré plusieurs générations d'artistes. En un peu plus de dix ans, le nombre de nuitées a doublé. On estime à 850 000 le nombre de touristes à Tanger en 2024. Cette vague de visiteurs a bouleversé certains équilibres : « On ne se connaît plus, en fait, entre Tangérois. L'ancienne Médina, c'étaient uniquement des Tangérois qui vivaient ici. Tous ceux qui avaient leur propriété dans la Médina ont vendu leur bien en 2015. S'ils s'étaient sentis bien, ils ne seraient pas partis. » Le site de location de logements de courte durée Airbnb propose 7 810 logements dans la ville, notamment dans la médina et la kasbah. Mounia a grandi dans ce quartier historique fortifié, qui jouxte la médina : « Le tourisme, ça gâche un tas de trucs, et on n'a plus accès à certains endroits, car c'est bondé de touristes. Il y a les Airbnb qui arrivent, un peu comme en Espagne, et donc, il y a une pénurie de logements. » Depuis 2018, le port Tanger Ville peut également accueillir jusqu'à trois bateaux de croisière simultanément, ce qui peut représenter jusqu'à 10 000 visiteurs en transit.

Transformations are often quite painful. Whether we're growing emotionally or undergoing a physical metamorphosis, real change usually demands discomfort, and sometimes even danger.In Jon M. Chu's Wicked films, the characters literally burst through their own limits: they sprout wings, become tin or straw, or learn to fly by defying gravity.Like all the past Wizard of Oz books and films, Wicked is a mirror of its time. Since the Covid pandemic, conservative movements around the globe have seized on a new scapegoat: openly trans and gender-diverse people. Despite being a tiny fraction of the population, trans folks have been painted as a massive cultural threat, a convenient distraction and a powerful tool for those hungry to seize political power.So what can Wicked teach us about facism? What can Elphaba's journey reveal about the machinery of oppression and about the yellow brick roads queer and trans people are still carving toward liberation?Today we're joined by trans-tech visionary Violet Kitajewski to explore Wicked as an allegory for LGBTQ resilience, transformation, and resistance. After all, that gravity isn't going to defy itself.Plus-- Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande announce they are in a “non-demi-curious, semi-binary relationship.”FEATURED MUSIC:Here Comes the Hurricane Legendary Katrina - Kevin JZ Prodigy★ https://youtu.be/GMKaa_q1eCg?si=d0F5b7bV9eSpG6_mFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:★ instagram.com/transosaur★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelionHelp Fausto & Marc Fight Blindness and Heart Disease★ https://gofund.me/00771d8fe

In this episode of Operation Be, I welcome the magnetic and mission-driven Jessica McTaggart, owner of The Curl Sanctuary in St. Louis. What begins as a conversation, becomes a full-bodied journey through Jessica's evolution from a makeup counter employee to a leader reshaping the curly hair industry from the inside out. We wander through the origin story of The Curl Sanctuary, the philosophy that fuels it, and the intention-packed choices that turned it into a safe haven for natural curls and the people who wear them.  We dig into what it takes to build a purpose-driven business: the quiet bravery of saying no, the courage to create a culture that feels like home, and the discipline required to grow without losing yourself in the process. Jessica also opens up about training new stylists, honoring boundaries, and protecting the harmony between work, artistry, and real life. Expect heartfelt stories, grounded wisdom, and a look behind the curtain at what authenticity in leadership truly looks like. If you're building something that matters, or simply craving a reminder that intention is a superpower, this episode delivers.

Piloter une stratégie RH, c'est accepter de naviguer dans une tension permanente : entre court terme et long terme, performance et humain, transformation et stabilité.C'est précisément ce qu'explore Aurélie Débauge, DRH du groupe Sanef, dans cet épisode de L'Entreprise de demain.Elle parle avec une grande sincérité de son métier, de sa posture, et de ce qui l'anime : faire grandir les équipes, soutenir les managers, accompagner la transformation, tout en gardant le cap du collectif.“Notre rôle, c'est de créer les conditions pour que chacun puisse faire son travail du mieux possible, même dans la complexité.”Chez Sanef, la stratégie RH se construit dans l'équilibre : entre ambition et réalisme, entre exigence et bienveillance, entre transformation et ancrage.Aurélie décrit cette responsabilité particulière des DRH : être à la fois stratèges, partenaires des dirigeants, et gardiens de l'humain.“Ce n'est pas seulement une question de process ou d'indicateurs. C'est une question de sens, de cohérence et de posture.”Au fil de la conversation, elle revient sur :– la manière d'aligner les politiques RH sur la vision d'entreprise,– les compétences managériales à développer pour accompagner la transformation,– l'importance de la confiance et du dialogue dans un contexte en mutation,– et la capacité à se remettre en question, individuellement et collectivement.Cet épisode met en lumière ce qu'est réellement le rôle d'un Top DRH aujourd'hui : un métier de lien, d'équilibre et d'impact.Une stratégie RH n'est jamais figée ; elle évolue avec les personnes, les enjeux et le monde autour.

What does AI look like in practice—not in theory—for the recruiters and leaders using it every day? In this FDE+ panel, Kortney Harmon sits down with Neal Osler, Chris Allaire, and Justin Bellante to examine how AI is reshaping job intake, sourcing, candidate conversations, and recruiter productivity in real time.The panelists share where AI is truly delivering value: rewriting job descriptions with clarity clients can finally react to, transforming interview transcriptions into stronger submittals, accelerating sourcing through smarter Boolean generation, and returning hours of lost admin time each week. They also surface the harder truths: declining response rates, over-reliance on automation, hallucinated requirements, and the widening trust gap created as inboxes become more machine-written than human-led.If you're navigating the noise around AI and looking for what truly drives performance, this panel reveals how the most effective teams blend innovation with authenticity to build stronger, more resilient recruiting operations in an AI-powered world.________________Follow Neal Osler on LinkedIn: LinkedIn: NealFollow Chris Allaire on LinkedIn: LinkedIn: ChrisFollow Justin Bellante on LinkedIn: LinkedIn: JustinFollow Crelate on LinkedIn: CrelateWant to learn more about Crelate?

⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---From 1880 to 1930, life on Earth was reshaped in ways previously inconceivable. Nowhere was this transformation more total than in Florida. In a single generation, a peninsula hardly charted since the days of Ponce de Leon was molded into a testing ground for new modes of living and capital accumulation. This episode of Gladio Free Europe drains the marshy mysteries of time to understand how Florida, once the most foreign of all the contiguous territories, became perhaps the most fundamentally American state of all.Jackson (@GraceCathedralPark) returns to the show for a deep exploration of modern Florida history, running from the noble failures of Reconstruction up through the reassertion of Confederate control and the establishment of a new society, a unique and twisted marriage of northern venality with southern barbarity. Gilded Age robber-barons like Henry Flagler took to the waters for pleasure and for profit, turning the remote Sunshine State into a secret garden for the idle rich. Railroads soon connected Florida to the American mainland north and south, bringing both well-heeled investors and threadbare farmers down the peninsula. Poor whites in particular saw Florida as a beacon of the New South, where a man could make his fortune in land sales or the orange boom. But these newcomers had little interest in sharing their wealth with the African American residents of Florida, some of whose ancestors had been working the swampy soil since the Spanish era.Florida after Reconstruction experienced some of the worst racial terror anywhere in the United States, with an exceptionally high rate of lynchings and episodes of mass violence at Ocoee and Rosewood, where white mobs ransacked black neighborhoods and murdered dozens upon dozens. Then the swamps, once a refuge for escaped slaves and Seminole Indians, were drained out to the sea, paved over to make room for America's newest feat of social engineering: the suburb.By the Roaring '20s, Florida's economy primarily revolved around real estate and tourism. Middle-class Americans flocked to the new neighborhoods that sprawled across the ruined wetlands, many of which were designed for cars rather than people, and most of which were racially segregated. Meanwhile significant numbers of Cuban immigarnts migrated to the Gulf port of Tampa, turning a small fishing town into a cigar city that rivaled Havana.Transformations along these lines happened across the United States, particularly in other Sun Belt regions such as Arizona and Southern California. But nowhere else were these changes so extreme, so rapid, and so destructive... not only to the natural landscape upon which these plains were laid, but on the residents pushed aside to built this petty-bourgeois fantasy. The state has been a theme park since decades before the Mouse spread his ears. In many ways, Florida is its own kind of twisted intentional community, and perhaps America's most successful utopian experiment.

WhoBarry Owens, General Manager of Treetops, MichiganRecorded onJune 13, 2025About TreetopsClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: Treetops Acquisition Company LLCLocated in: Gaylord, MichiganYear founded: 1954Pass affiliations: Indy Pass, Indy+ Pass – 2 daysClosest neighboring ski areas: Otsego (:07), Boyne Mountain (:34), Hanson Hills (:39), Shanty Creek (:51), The Highlands (:58), Nub's Nob (1:00)Base elevation: 1,110 feetSummit elevation: 1,333 feetVertical drop: 223 feetSkiable acres: 80Average annual snowfall: 140 inchesTrail count: 25 (30% beginner, 40% intermediate, 30% advanced)Lift count: 5 (3 triples, 2 carpets – view Lift Blog's inventory of Treetops' lift fleet)Why I interviewed himThe first 10 ski areas I ever skied, in order, were:* Mott Mountain, Michigan* Apple Mountain, Michigan* Snow Snake, Michigan* Caberfae, Michigan* Crystal Mountain, Michigan* Nub's Nob, Michigan* Skyline, Michigan* Treetops, Michigan* Sugar Loaf, Michigan* Shanty Creek – Schuss Mountain, MichiganAnd here are the first 10 ski areas I ever skied that are still open, with anything that didn't make it crossed out:* Mott Mountain, Michigan* Apple Mountain, Michigan* Snow Snake, Michigan* Caberfae, Michigan* Crystal Mountain, Michigan* Nub's Nob, Michigan* Skyline, Michigan* Treetops, Michigan* Sugar Loaf, Michigan* Shanty Creek – Schuss Mountain, Michigan* Shanty Creek – Summit, Michigan* Boyne Mountain, Michigan* Searchmont, Ontario* Nebraski, Nebraska* Copper Mountain, Colorado* Keystone, ColoradoSix of my first 16. Poof. That's a failure rate of 37.5 percent. I'm no statistician, but I'd categorize that as “not good.”Now, there's some nuance to this list. I skied all of these between 1992 and 1995. Most had faded officially or functionally by 2000, around the time that America's Great Ski Area Die-Off concluded (Summit lasted until around Covid, and could still re-open, resort officials tell me). Their causes of death are varied, some combination, usually, of incompetence, indifference, and failure to adapt. To climate change, yes, but more of the cultural kind of adaptation than the environmental sort.The first dozen ski areas on this list are tightly bunched, geographically, in the upper half of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. They draw from the same general population centers and suffer from the same stunted Midwest verticals. None are naturally or automatically great ski areas. None are or were particularly remote or tricky to access, and most sit alongside or near a major state or federal highway. And they (mostly) all benefit from the same Lake Michigan lake-effect snow machine, the output of which appears to be increasing as the Great Lakes freeze more slowly and less often (cold air flowing over warm water = lake-effect snow).Had you presented this list of a dozen Michigan ski areas to me in 1995 and said, “five of these will drop dead in the next 30 years,” I would not have chosen those five, necessarily, to fail. These weren't ropetow backwaters. All but Apple had chairlifts (and they soon installed one), and most sat close to cities or were attached to a larger resort. Sugar Loaf, in particular, was one of Michigan's better ski areas, with five chairlifts and the largest in-state vertical drop on this list.My guess for most-likely-to-die probably would have been Treetops, especially if you'd told me that then-private Otsego ski area, right next door and with twice its neighbor's skiable acreage, vertical drop, and number of chairlifts, would eventually open to the public. Especially if you'd told me that Boyne Mountain, the monster down the road, would continue to expand its lodging and village, and would add a Treetops-sized cluster of greens to its ferocious ridge of blacks. Especially if you'd told me that Treetops' trail footprint, never substantial, would remain more or less the same size 30 years later. In fact, just about every surviving Michigan ski area on that list - Crystal, Nub's, Caberfae, Shanty Schuss - greatly expanded its terrain footprint. Except Treetops.But here we are, in the future, and I just skied Treetops 10 months ago with my 8-year-old son. It was, in some ways, more or less as I'd left it on my last visit, in 1995: small vert, small trail network, a slightly confusing parking situation, no chairlift restraint bars. A few improvements were obvious: the beginner ropetows had made way for a carpet, the last double chair had been upgraded to a triple, terrain park features dotted the east side, and a dozen or so glades and short steep shots had been hacked from the woods of the legacy trail footprint.That's all nice. But what was not obvious to me was this: why, and how, does Treetops the ski area still exist? Sugar Loaf was a better ski area. Apple Mountain was closer to large population centers. Summit was attached to ski-in-ski-out accommodations and shared a lift ticket with the larger Schuss mountain a couple miles away. Was modern Treetops some sort of money-losing ski area hobby horse for whomever owned the larger resort, which is better known for its five golf courses? Was it just an amenity to keep the second homeowners who mostly lived in Southeast Michigan invested year-round? Had the ski area cemented itself as the kind of high-volume schoolkids training ground that explained the resilience of ski areas in metro Detroit, Minneapolis, and Milwaukee?There is never, or rarely, one easy or obvious explanation for why similar businesses thrive or fail. This is why I resist pinning the numerical decline in America's ski area inventory solely to climate change. We may have fewer ski areas in America than we had in 1995, but we have a lot more good ski areas now than we did 30 years ago (and, as I wrote in March, a lot more overall ski terrain). Yes, Skyline, 40 minutes south of Treetops, failed because it never installed snowmaking, but that is only part of the sentence. Skyline failed because it never installed snowmaking while its competitors aggressively expanded and continually updated their snowmaking systems, raising the floor on the minimal ski experience acceptable to consumers. That takes us back to culture. What do you reckon has changed more over the past 30 to 40 years: America's weather patterns, or its culture? For anyone who remembers ashtrays at McDonald's or who rode in the bed of a pickup truck from Michigan to Illinois or who ran feral and unsupervised outdoors from toddlerhood or who somehow fumbled through this vast world without the internet or a Pet Rectangle or their evil offspring social media, the answer seems obvious. The weather feels a little different. Our culture feels airlifted from another planet. Americans accepted things 30 years ago that would seem outrageous today – like smoking adjacent to a children's play area ornamented with a demented smiling clown. But this applies to skiing as well. My Treetops day in 1995 was memorably horrible, the snow groomed but fossilized, unturnable. A few weeks earlier, I'd skied Skyline on perhaps a three-inch base, grass poking through the trails. Modern skiers, armed with the internet and its Hubble connection to every ski area on the planet, would not accept either set of conditions today. But one of those ski areas adapted and the other did not. That's the “why” of Treetops survival. It was the “how” that I needed Barry Owens to help me understand.What we talked aboutLast winter's ice storm – “it provides great insight into human character when you go through that stuff”; record snowfall (204 inches!) to chase the worst winter ever; the Lake Michigan snowbelt; a golf resort with a ski area attached; building a ski culture when “we didn't have enough people dedicated to ski… and it showed”; competing with nearby ski areas many times Treetops' size “we don't shy away from… who we are and what we are”; what happened when next-door-neighbor Otsego Resort switched from a private to a public model in 2017 – “neither one of us is going to get rich seeing who can get the most $15 lift tickets on a Wednesday”; I attempt to talk about golf and why Michigan is a golf mecca; moving on from something you've spent decades building; Treetops' rough financial period and why Owens initially turned down the GM job; how Owens convinced ownership not to close the ski area; fixing a “can't-do staff” by “doing things that created the freedom to be able to act”; Treetops' strange 2014 bankruptcy and rebuilding from there; “right now we're happy” with the lift fleet; how much it would cost to retrofit Treetops' lifts with restraint bars; timeline for potential ski expansion at Treetops; bargain season passes (as low as $125); and Indy Pass' network power.What I got wrong* I said “Gaylord County,” but the city of Gaylord is in Otsego County.* I said that Boyne Resorts, operator of 11 ski areas, also runs “10 or 11 golf resorts.” The company operates 14 golf courses.* I said that Michigan had a “very good” road network and that there was “not a lot of traffic,” and if you live there, you're reaction is probably, “you're dumb.” What I meant by “very good road network” is this: compared to most ski regions, which have, um, mountains, Michigan's bumplets sit more or less directly alongside the state's straight, flat, almost perfectly gridded highway network. Also, the “not a lot of traffic” thing does not apply to special situations like, say, northbound I-75 on a July Friday evening.* I said that Crystal, Nub's, Caberfae, and Shanty Creek were “close” – while they're not necessarily all close to one another, they are all roughly equidistant for folks coming to them from downstate.* I said that Treetops was “the fifth or sixth place I ever skied at,” but upon further review, it was number eight (which is reflected in the list above).Podcast NotesOn the ice stormAn ice storm hammered Northern Michigan in late March of this year:On the lightning strike on Treetops' golf courseOn the Midwest's terrible 2023-24 ski seasonSkier visits cratered in the Midwest during the 2023-24 ski season, the region's worst on record from a snowfall point of view. Weather - and skier visits - settled back into normal ranges last winter:This is a bit hard to see with any sort of precision, but this 10-year chart gives a nice sense of just how abnormal 2023-24 was for the Midwest:On Michigan's ski areasMichigan is home to 44 active ski areas - more than any state other than New York. Many of them are quite small, operate sporadically, and run only surface lifts, but Treetops is close to a bunch of the better lift-served outfits, including Boyne Mountain, Nub's Nob, and The Highlands (the UP ski areas may as well be in another state). It helps Treetops that so many of the state's ski areas have also joined Indy Pass:On Otsego ResortFor decades - I'm not certain how long, exactly - Otsego Resort, right next door to Treetops and with roughly double the vertical drop and skiable acreage, was private. In 2017, the bump opened to the public, considerably amping up competition. Complicating the matter further, Otsego sits a bit closer to Michigan's Main Street - I-75 - than Treetops.On Snow OperatingOwens mentioned working with “TBL” – he was referring to Terrain Based Learning, Snow Partners' learn-to-ski program. That company also runs the Snow Cloud operating system that Owens refers to at the end.On Treetops' rough period I quoted this Detroit Business News article at length in the interview. It goes deep on Treetops' precarious early 2000s history and the resort's broken employee culture at the time.On people being nice at ski areasYeah I'm super into this:On the hedgehog conceptOwens mentions “the hedgehog concept,” which I wasn't familiar with. It sounded like a business-book thing, and it is, adapted by author Jim Collins for his book Good to Great and described in this way on his website:The Hedgehog Concept is developed in the book Good to Great. A simple, crystalline concept that flows from deep understanding about the intersection of three circles: 1) what you are deeply passionate about, 2) what you can be the best in the world at, and 3) what best drives your economic or resource engine. Transformations from good to great come about by a series of good decisions made consistently with a Hedgehog Concept, supremely well executed, accumulating one upon another, over a long period of time.More:On safety-bar requirements in New York and New EnglandThis is kind of funny…That's my 8-year-old son, who's skied in a dozen states, taking his first ride on a lift with no safety bar, at Treetops last December. Why such machines still exist in 2025, I have no idea - this lift rises about 30 feet off the ground. In the East, all chairlifts are equipped with bars, and state law mandates their use in New York, Massachusetts, and Vermont (and perhaps elsewhere). I don't advocate for rider mandates, but I do think all chairlifts ought to have bars available for those who want them. Owens and I discuss the resort's plans to retrofit Treetops' three chairlifts - CTEC machines installed between 1984 and 1995 - with bars. The cost would be roughly $250,000. That's a significant number, but probably a lot less than the figure if, say, someone has a heart attack or seizure on the lift, falls off, then sues the resort. Besides, as Owens points out, chairlifts must be equipped with restraint bars for summer use, which would open new revenue streams. Why are bars required for summer activities, but not winter? It's a strange anachronism, unique among the ski world to America.On “Joe from SMI”I mentioned “Joe from SMI” offhand. I was referring to SMI Snowmakers President Joe VanderKelen, who appeared on the podcast back in 2022:On potential expansion Owens discusses a potential expansion looker's left of Chair 1, which would restore lost terrain and built upon that. This 1988 trailmap shows a couple of the trails that Treetops eliminated to make way for its current top-to-bottom access road (trails 1 through 4):The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

In this engaging episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, SEO expert and entrepreneur Jason Hennessey shares his journey from mobile DJ to founder of Hennessey Digital, detailing how necessity led him to discover SEO. He discusses the evolution of SEO, the impact of AI, and practical strategies for law firms.Jason speaks about the future of AI in SEO. In the early days of Jason's career, AI was being used to reverse engineer websites to figure out what was working, which was very time consuming. In this day and age, AI is a lot more accessible and is being used by different people for different things. For companies like Jason's, AI has opened the door to allow for more traffic because his service can reach different people due to AI's diverse usage.Jason and Tyson discuss the errors law firms make with their websites. One thing is people do not take action when they have the steps in order to do so. This is seen with many people who attend law conferences. Another error is trying to implement a solution right away and thinking it is going to solve the problem. Jason gives an example of a company hiring someone to design or maintain a website, but not having any oversight whatsoever. This can cause a lot of issues for a business owner who can lose control of what they are creating.Listen in to learn more!6:20 How SEO has changed10:01 Early adoption of AI and the future of AI in SEO17:41 Lifestyle businesses versus growth-focused businesses20:09 Frequent errors law firms make with their websites38:35 How social media now impacts SEO Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Jason:Website  Instagram  X FacebookLinkedin Youtube
