A Texas-Sized Treasure Hunt  After KC Wright and his mother were big winners on Wheel of Fortune in November 2023, they wanted to do something fun with the money. Seek Texas is a new, immersive scavenger hunt spanning the Lone Star State, inviting locals and travelers nationwide to explore hidden gems, solve creative clues, and win real prizes. The project is gaining attention thanks in part to the recent Forest Fenn documentary, which reignited public fascination with treasure hunting. Seek Texas channels that same spirit, but in a much safer, family-friendly, and collaborative way --- no digging or danger, just discovery.Through the platform at www.SeekTexas.com, participants receive creative clues that guide them to local landmarks, off-the-beaten-path destinations, historical sites, and quirky roadside attractions. Along the way, they'll solve puzzles, engage with Texas culture, and earn entries to win a grand prize worth thousands of dollars.Unlike the Forest Fenn hunt, Seek Texas is designed to be accessible to all, encouraging collaboration among participants and it does not require physical digging. It's a tech-enabled journey that blends the thrill of the unknown with the safety and inclusivity of a modern-day adventure game.The scavenger hunt will run through the summer of 2025, with new locations and clues dropping each month. Families, friend groups, road-trippers, and solo explorers are all invited to take part.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Vacations, late nights, screen time sprees—summer throws structure out the window. But what happens when back-to-school hits like a brick? In this episode, Andrew and Caroline talk how to hold onto a little routine without turning your home into a boot camp. They unpack simple ways families can keep anchor habits going—even at the cabin or with teenagers rolling out of bed at noon. You'll hear tips on habit stacking (yes, the morning pee counts), making chores suck less, using streaks and gamification, and how to build routines without nagging or meltdowns. Plus, why setting up your environment matters more than willpower. Whether you're parenting toddlers or teens, this episode will help you create summer flow that still sets you up for a smoother school-year shift. Homework Summer Routine Jumpstart Checklist Pick ONE small habit you want to reintroduce (bedtime, reading, outdoor time). Anchor it to something that already happens (e.g., after lunch → 30 min quiet reading). Use a visual tracker or calendar for “Don't break the streak” motivation. Collaborate with kids: pick the habit, rename it (e.g., “Treasure Hunt” instead of “clean up”), and make it fun with music or timed sprints.  Check out these resources guides to help have the best summer ever and transition back to schoolUltimate Guide Book to the Best Summer EverBack to School SuccessConquering Back to School Anxiety Guide Enjoying the show?

 A wife surrenders her clothes during treasure hunt. By sharedare. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. One of my hubby's closest buddies had flown in from Phoenix to spend the weekend with us. Jay and Hubby had grown up together and, up until a few years ago, the two had always lived in the same neighborhood. Moving up the corporate ladder eventually required Jay to relocate to Arizona, but he and hubby had remained as close as ever.It was Friday night, and the three of us were enjoying a casual evening of wine and conversation. As the night wore on, we somehow ended up talking about jewelry, and my desire to upgrade the diamond in my wedding ring. Hubby and I had often discussed the idea of upgrading to a full karat. Unfortunately, the price had always been more than we could reasonably afford. And so went the discussion that night, only this time it included Jay. I had consumed just enough wine to make me a little goofy, so I wasn't too surprised by myself when I remarked to hubby and Jay that I should work the streets for a day or two to raise money for my diamond. Both Jay and hubby were all for the idea, urging me to hop into a mini-skirt and get to work. Jay said I definitely had the body for it. We all laughed and soon the conversation turned to other topics. The following day, hubby and Jay were up and out of the house early, heading downtown on what they described as a “secret mission”. Although they returned home about six hours later, they refused to divulge the purpose of their trip. It seemed as though we were going to spend our Saturday night, as we had the previous night, sampling a new collection of California wines, feasting on barbecue, and otherwise enjoying the warm night air. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary to me, except that hubby wasn't partaking in any wine, claiming that he had a slight upset stomach. I should have been more suspicious, especially since his upset stomach didn't seem to affect his appetite for steak. At about 10pm, having already consumed quite a few glasses of wine, Jay and hubby finally sprung their surprise on me. They said they had decided to split the cost of a one-karat diamond for me, but that I had to agree to play a little game in order to “win” my jewel. I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I decided to hear them out on their plan. Jay explained that he and hubby had purchased a gift card with which I could purchase my diamond. He went on to say that all I had to do was go on a treasure hunt to find four purple marbles. Hubby chimed in and said that he and Jay had hidden the marbles in four separate locations, and that they would drive me to each location and tell me where to retrieve each marble. Before I could ask what the catch was, Jay, an impish grin on his face, explained that I would be required to leave one article of clothing behind in exchange for each marble. He also said that, to play the game, I had to limit myself to only four pieces of clothing, not including my shoes. And my shoes, he explained, had to be the highest-heeled footwear I owned. I continued sipping my wine as I considered the offer made by these two screwballs. I really didn't mind Jay seeing me in my birthday suit, but I wasn't sure just how adventurous this game was going to be. Neither hubby nor Jay would give me any clues on the locations of the marbles, but they did emphasize that if I didn't retrieve all the marbles, or if I failed to leave an article of clothing at each discovery site, they would cash in the card and get their money back. In the end, the wine gave me the courage I needed to take them up on their dare. After donning a t-shirt, gym shorts, and a pair of four-inch high-heeled black boots, we headed off to town (town, by the way, is Reno, Nevada). I demanded that no photos or video be taken. Reno is a small city and believe me, word gets around. I locked up their phones and mine in a small lock box and slid it under my front passenger seat. Jay sat in the back while hubby drove. Our first destination was a Bartley Ranch Park on the south outskirts of town. It was fairly close to our neighborhood. As I peered out the window from my seat, I could see that the park was fairly well lighted, and only a few people seemed to be in the area. From the back seat, Jay handed me a 3X5 card that told me that I could find my first marble taped underneath the picnic table located under a gazebo, close to the river. Looking across the park, I could see the river running along the opposite side of the park from the parking lot. Mustering up some courage, I opened the door and headed out across the grass. The picnic table I was looking for was about 100 yards from the car, and the only other people in the park were off to the side. Finding and retrieving the marble was no problem at all, but I hesitated when it came time to pull off my shirt. I looked around the park and saw that nobody seemed to be paying any attention to me. Taking in a deep breath, I pulled off my shirt, tossed it under the table, and started off back to hubby, Jay, and the security of our car. I had decided that it would be better to walk quickly, than run and bring extra attention to myself. Besides, as athletic as I was, the 4″ heels and my tipsy champagne-induced condition would likely result in a nasty spill, drawing even more attention, if not intervention. About halfway across the grass, the sound of a few catcalls made me pick up my pace a bit. The warm summer air felt good and I guess I was more worried about getting mugged than being seen in my bra. I nearly stumbled when my heels caught a clump of grass. Jay and hubby were both applauding and cheering as I reentered the car. I played it cool, and didn't let on how nervous I was. Besides, we were already moving on to our second destination. Hubby next wheeled the car into a parking spot on the side of a gas station/convenience store. At first I thought they would tell me to actually go inside the store, so I was relieved when the card Jay handed me directed me to walk around to the back of the building, enter the women's restroom, and retrieve my marble from inside the hand towel dispenser. Looking around and seeing nobody near us, I slipped out of the car and made my way around the building. Thankfully, nobody was there and I quickly stepped into the restroom. Popping open the dispenser, I grabbed my marble and replaced it with my gym shorts. Standing in the bathroom in my bra and panties, I cracked open the door to find that the coast was clear. Seeing it was, I headed back to the security of the car.   As I had rounded the corner of the building, I saw there was a guy pumping gas. Distracted by my plight, I again almost took a spill as I stepped off the curb in those damned heels, resulting in an ungracious public ‘titty-wiggle' in front of the car. Jay and hubby were cheering as I jumped into the front seat.  but the guy pumping gas had his back to me, so my trip went undetected. Once settled back in the car, Jay popped open a bottle of champagne and poured us each a glass. He said that he thought I could use a little more “courage” to prepare for the final two stages of the great treasure hunt. As we sat in the parking lot sipping champagne, a van pulled in alongside us, on my side of the car. The driver, an older man, definitely did the “double take” as he stepped past my window. I actually considered flashing one of my tits at him, but he turned and made his way into the store before I could. Jay and hubby chuckled as we backed out and headed off for destination number three. On the way, hubby reached over and began rubbing my pussy through my panties. I didn't realize how sexually aroused I had become with the night's antics until his hand touched my little red beaver. It was then that I realized I was already wet, and getting wetter by the second. While momentarily stopped at an intersection, Jay reached over the seatback and began massaging my breasts. We had never included Jay in any of our sexual adventures, so I was a bit surprised at his boldness. But I didn't object. It all felt very erotic, and I could feel that I was well on my way to an orgasm. I was so distracted, that it took me a moment to realize that a muni bus had pulled up alongside us. The intersection was well lighted and the driver had to be able to see everything going on in the car. Still, I didn't try to stop hubby and Jay from continuing to paw at me. We quickly moved off as the light changed, no doubt leaving the bus driver with some great images to get through the rest of his shift with. Our third destination was at Keystone Square shopping mall. Hubby parked the car in a donut shop parking lot, next to a bank. The mall was closed and we were the only car in the parking lot. Once again, Jay handed me a card, which directed me to retrieve my marble from the side of the ATM located in front of the bank. Exiting the car, I made my way across the asphalt lot and 5 drive-thru lanes, to reach the bank. Again, the marble was easy to locate. After confirming that there was nobody around, I slipped off my bra, freeing my c-cup titties from their restraints. I thought to myself, some bank guy is going to get a great boob shot when he reviews the surveillance videos that I know protect most ATM's. Crossing back over the drive-thru lanes, wearing only panties and high-heels, I was really starting to get brave (or maybe just drunk). Instead of immediately returning to the car, I stopped and waived to Jay and hubby. I even turned around, bent over, and flashed a ‘moon' at the two. My daring behavior was suddenly rewarded when the mall security guy came around the corner in his little pickup truck. I had barely stepped out onto the drive-thru when he pulled up to me and stopped. All I could see was the shadow of a head behind the steering wheel. I thought about trying to cover up, but it was useless. Instead, I smiled and waved, and continued across the lot to the car. Since I was no longer on bank property, the guard never said a word, he just watched me slide into the car, and drive away.  Public exposure is still a violation of city ordinances. Add to that a public drunkenness misdemeanor, and I was risking a night in the county lockup. Both the guys were laughing and cheering as we drove off. Once again, Jay handed me more champagne as we sped along to our final destination. This part of the journey took us to the other side of town. I am sure that at least a dozen drivers got an eyeful as they spied my bare boobies through the passenger window. Jay seemed to relish in the parade. He definitely seemed to like driving in the inside lane. By then I was really feeling the buzz of the champagne. Working our way to the north side of the city, hubby eventually pulled onto 8th street where it paralleled the highway. Hubby pulled over and parked on the left side, right on the corner of Sierra & 8th. The street was actually elevated above the highway and Sierra Avenue passed over the highway without the usual high arched overpass. Looking around, I could not see any obvious locations where my two tormentors would have concealed the fourth and final marble. Jay tapped on my shoulder and handed me the last card. The card directed me to cross south, over the entire overpass and recover the marble, which was taped underneath the handrail on the opposite side of the overpass. I looked across the overpass and saw that it spanned 6 highway lanes plus a large median. It had to be at least 150 yards to the other side. I tried to consider my options at this point, pondering whether or not I could make the round-trip trek without being seen, and knowing that the return trip would be without a stitch of clothing. Both Jay and hubby had a hopeful look in their faces that told me they would both blow their wads before I returned to the car, if I had the guts to get that last marble. Swallowing the remnants of my champagne, I resolved to get the last marble and win my new diamond. It was well past midnight and traffic on the highway seemed light. The streets immediately around us seemed completely devoid of any foot or vehicle traffic. I had plenty of liquid courage to back me up, and I was incredibly turned on by the prospect of walking the streets of Reno naked for a quarter mile, round trip. I reached over and grabbed hubby's crotch, gave it a squeeze, and told him he better be ready to “put out” when I got back. The bastard already had a hard-on, and his face was consumed by a wide grin. With a final look around the area, I stepped out of the car and started my trek across the overpass. My gait was swift, and the night air had cooled, causing my nipples to stiffen, and stand out so far you could hang a coat on each nipple. The walk across seemed endless, but finally I made it to the other side without incident. Once again, the marble was exactly where the card said it would be. After freeing the marble from the tape, I stepped out of my panties and hung them on the end of the railing. Now it was time for the return trip. As you might imagine, there was absolutely no concealment on the overpass. I was naked and completely exposed to anyone who might drive or walk by. But I held the final purple marble in my hand! It was soon to be replaced with a huge diamond, and that pleasurable thought led to a sudden outburst of dancing, high on the bridge overlooking 8 lanes of well-lit urban highway. The night air tingled as it slid past my exposed pussy lips. My thick red-haired bush was already wet from the evening's antics, and hubby's skilled fingers. Nearing the halfway point on the overpass, I realized a taxi had just turned onto the avenue two blocks up, and coming my way. But there was nothing I could do. There was nowhere to hide, and nothing to cover myself up with. As the taxi neared, I could feel myself trembling – a combination of fear and sexual pleasure. I decided to just keep walking proudly, no matter what. The taxi sped along towards me at a normal speed; until the driver realized what he was seeing in his headlights. He almost locked up the breaks as he slowed to get a better look. I flipped him a glance, smiled, and just kept walking. I could feel the juices flowing from my pussy, a trickle even found its way down the inside of my leg. I thought for a moment that the driver would stop and jump out of his cab, but instead, after a thorough observation he continued on his way, no doubt with happier thoughts on his mind. I had been focusing on the taxi cab, which seemed to take several minutes yet was only about 20 seconds; and in doing so, I had not realized that there were suddenly now some pedestrians on the bridge ahead of me. Straining to look ahead, it appeared as though a man and woman were approaching. All I could tell was that they were holding hands. My heart really began to race as I closed on the couple, my swaying tits waving happily at them. What would they do or say? The couple turned out to be two college-aged kids. When they saw me, they stopped dead in their tracks and watched me approach. While the young man seemed to be absorbed with staring at my pussy, the girl incredulously asked what I was doing. I paused long enough to explain that I was responding to a dare from my hubby. Champagne certainly does wonders for one's courage. The couple seemed duly impressed, so off I walked, leaving the couple standing on the bridge behind me, watching my ass jiggle as I walked away. By the time I reached the car, a bus could have driven by and I wouldn't have batted an eyelash. I was so horny and pumped up when I got into the car, I would have let hubby spread me across the hood of the car and make love to me right there on the street, if he would have suggested it. Instead, we took off southward and went downtown to the Reno Arch. This 5th stop was my idea, because I wanted a photo to commemorate this night. I had the pleasure of further exposing myself to other motorists, as my clothes were now spread the length of Reno. I was now reasonably drunk and I wanted something to remember my diamond quest by. I retrieved my phone & handed it to Jay as hubby was approaching Virginia Avenue along Commercial Row. We turned left & pulled over just north of the Downtown Reno Arch. As I got out, walked around the front of the car, then into the road & walked toward the famous neon sign which spans over the downtown street. Jay snapped several pics in rapid succession, Tourists under the arch started looking at me and whistling, so I waved. Within 20 seconds Jay said he had plenty of good pics, so I darted back in my front seat and hubby took us home. Hubby and Jay continued to play with me, keeping me insanely horny until we got home. What happened after that is another story. It suffices to say that, in addition to experiencing one of the most erotic public-nudity adventures of my life, I also won my new diamond, which will always remind me of my “night of nudity” in Reno!   By sharedare, for Literotica

 A wife surrenders her clothes during treasure hunt. By sharedare. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. One of my hubby's closest buddies had flown in from Phoenix to spend the weekend with us. Jay and Hubby had grown up together and, up until a few years ago, the two had always lived in the same neighborhood. Moving up the corporate ladder eventually required Jay to relocate to Arizona, but he and hubby had remained as close as ever.It was Friday night, and the three of us were enjoying a casual evening of wine and conversation. As the night wore on, we somehow ended up talking about jewelry, and my desire to upgrade the diamond in my wedding ring. Hubby and I had often discussed the idea of upgrading to a full karat. Unfortunately, the price had always been more than we could reasonably afford. And so went the discussion that night, only this time it included Jay. I had consumed just enough wine to make me a little goofy, so I wasn't too surprised by myself when I remarked to hubby and Jay that I should work the streets for a day or two to raise money for my diamond. Both Jay and hubby were all for the idea, urging me to hop into a mini-skirt and get to work. Jay said I definitely had the body for it. We all laughed and soon the conversation turned to other topics. The following day, hubby and Jay were up and out of the house early, heading downtown on what they described as a “secret mission”. Although they returned home about six hours later, they refused to divulge the purpose of their trip. It seemed as though we were going to spend our Saturday night, as we had the previous night, sampling a new collection of California wines, feasting on barbecue, and otherwise enjoying the warm night air.

Benne egy összetekert papír.En: A glass bottle lay in the sand, containing a rolled-up paper.Hu: Kihúzta, kíváncsiságtól égve.En: He pulled it out, burning with curiosity.Hu: A papír egy rejtélyes üzenetet tartalmazott: „A titkot a régi fa őrzi. A múlt kincsei közé vezet.”En: The paper contained a mysterious message: "The secret is guarded by the old tree. It leads among the treasures of the past."Hu: János tudta, hogy valahol a tó környékén régi fa áll, amiről a helyiek legendákat meséltek.En: János knew that somewhere around the lake stood an old tree about which locals told legends.Hu: Az üzenet izgalmat hozott a hétköznapjaiba.En: The message brought excitement to his everyday life.Hu: Aznap este találkozott Zsuzsával, gyermekkori barátjával, aki szintén a tó mellett töltötte a nyarat.En: That evening, he met with Zsuzsa, his childhood friend who also spent the summer by the lake.Hu: „Zsuzsa, találtam valamit!” - kezdte János izgatottan, miközben megmutatta az üveget és az üzenetet.En: "Zsuzsa, I found something!" János started excitedly, showing her the bottle and the message.Hu: Zsuzsa egyből belelkesedett. „Gábor biztosan tud segíteni” - javasolta.En: Zsuzsa immediately got enthusiastic. "Gábor could surely help" she suggested.Hu: Gábor, a helyi történész, jól ismerte a környék legendáit.En: Gábor, the local historian, was well acquainted with the area's legends.Hu: Másnap reggel együtt keresték fel.En: They visited him together the next morning.Hu: Gábor nagy érdeklődéssel vizsgálta az üzenetet. „Van itt egy régi fa nem messze. Az emberek azt suttogják, hogy alatta valami különleges rejtőzik.”En: Gábor examined the message with great interest. "There's an old tree not far from here. People whisper that something special is hidden beneath it."Hu: Elhatározták, hogy követik a nyomokat.En: They decided to follow the clues.Hu: Egy forró, napos napon elindultak a part mentén.En: On a hot, sunny day, they set off along the shore.Hu: Hosszú sétát tettek a fák alatt, míg elértek egy hatalmas, öreg fához, amit a helyiek csak „a bölcs öreg” néven emlegettek.En: They took a long walk beneath the trees until they reached a huge, ancient tree, which the locals referred to as "the wise old one."Hu: Néhány órás kutatás után János hirtelen fedezett fel valami furcsát a fa tövében.En: After a few hours of searching, János suddenly discovered something strange at the base of the tree.Hu: Egy kis üreget találtak, ami egy titkos barlang bejáratára vezetett.En: They found a small cavity that led to the entrance of a secret cave.Hu: A barlangban régi tárgyak, aranyékszerek és antik tárgyak rejtőztek.En: Inside the cave, old items, gold jewelry, and antique objects were hidden.Hu: Meséltek a múlt dicsőségéről.En: They spoke of the glory of the past.Hu: János, Zsuzsa és Gábor alig hittek a szemüknek.En: János, Zsuzsa, and Gábor could hardly believe their eyes.Hu: Tudták, hogy egy különleges felfedezést tettek.En: They knew they had made a special discovery.Hu: János döntött.En: János decided.Hu: A kincs történelmi értékkel bír, így meg kell osztani a világgal.En: The treasure had historical value, and thus it should be shared with the world.Hu: Visszatértek a városba, és értesítették a helyi múzeumot.En: They returned to the town and notified the local museum.Hu: A kincs így megőrzésre került, és a múzeumban helyet kapott.En: The treasure was thus preserved and given a place in the museum.Hu: János nem tartott meg semmit.En: János kept nothing for himself.Hu: A tudás és a felfedezés öröme kielégítés volt számára.En: The joy of knowledge and discovery was reward enough for him.Hu: A nap végén, amikor a naplemente bearanyozta a Balaton vizét, János úgy érezte, hogy megtalálta, amit keresett.En: At the end of the day, as the sunset gilded the waters of Balaton, János felt he had found what he was looking for.Hu: Az élet tele van titkokkal és kalandokkal.En: Life is full of secrets and adventures.Hu: Csak bátorság kell, hogy keresztülvágjunk rajtuk.En: All it takes is the courage to cut through them.Hu: Az út vége felé János új módon nézett a környezetére, tisztelettel és csodálattal.En: By the end of the journey, János viewed his surroundings in a new light, with respect and wonder.

Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman at Ogilvy UK, joins Dots Oyebolu to discuss the underestimated power of perception, the limits of logic in marketing, and how behavioral science can uncover overlooked opportunities in consumer behavior. He explains why repeat purchases beat novelty, the role of emotional efficiency in decision-making, and how marketers should think like detectives rather than data analysts.Key Takeaways:(03:10) Presenting a product effectively is not an option but a necessity.(05:24) The Uber map reduced stress not by shortening waits but by adding certainty.(06:54) People post-rationalize their decisions more than they realize.(09:04) Marketers should approach their work like detectives, asking what they don't know and seeking hidden motivations behind consumer behavior.(14:23) Our sensory systems are inseparable from context, making marketing essential — without proper framing, even great products can fail.(19:09) Price is a feeling, not just a number, in consumer decision-making.(23:35) Testing counterintuitive ideas reveals unseen marketing truths.(24:37) Sales aren't driven just by lower prices — consumers often buy for the feeling of getting a deal, not the deal itself.Resources Mentioned:Rory Sutherlandhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rorysutherland/Ogilvy UKhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/ogilvyuk/“Alchemy: The Surprising Power of Ideas That Don't Make Sense” (book) by Rory Sutherlandhttps://www.amazon.com/Alchemy-Surprising-Power-Ideas-Sense/dp/0753556529“The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality” (book) by Andy Clarkhttps://www.amazon.co.za/Experience-Machine-Minds-Predict-Reality/dp/1524748455Insightful Links:https://www.meltwater.com/en/blog/customer-behaviour-data-driven-marketinghttps://www.moengage.com/learn/consumer-behavior-in-marketing/https://www.omniconvert.com/blog/consumer-behavior-in-marketing-patterns-types-segmentation/Thanks for listening to the “Marketing Leadership” podcast, brought to you by Listen Network.

Treasure Hunt #RTTBROS #NightlightTreasure Hunt #RTTBROS #Nightlight Treasure Hunt: The Search for Wisdom"If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God." Proverbs 2:45 (KJV)In November 1922, after six grueling years of excavation in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, archaeologist Howard Carter made a discovery that would captivate the world. With trembling hands, he peered through a small hole into the darkness and famously whispered, "I see wonderful things." Behind that ancient doorway lay the virtually intact tomb of Tutankhamun, filled with treasures beyond imagination.Carter's quest had been marked by relentless persistence. Season after season, he had endured the scorching desert heat, financial pressures, and mounting skepticism from critics who believed the valley held no more secrets. Yet Carter pressed on, convinced that somewhere beneath the shifting sands lay a prize worth every sacrifice.How remarkably this mirrors our spiritual journey in seeking divine wisdom! God has not hidden His treasures in some distant, unreachable realm. Instead, He has graciously placed them within our reach in the pages of Scripture, particularly in the wisdom literature of the Old Testament. The books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job contain riches more valuable than all of Pharaoh's gold.Yet like Carter's archaeological dig, the pursuit of wisdom requires persistent effort. The casual reader may glimpse only surface truths, but those who dig deeper, who study, meditate, and apply God's Word with the same determination Carter showed in the desert—will uncover treasures that transform their lives.Consider the persistence required in both quests. Carter didn't abandon his search after the first unsuccessful season, nor should we abandon our study of Scripture after a difficult passage or a dry season in our spiritual lives. Just as Carter methodically sifted through sand and debris, we must carefully examine each verse, each principle, allowing the Holy Spirit to illuminate truths that might otherwise remain buried.The wisdom literature of the Old Testament offers us practical guidance for daily living, insights into human nature, and profound understanding of our relationship with the Almighty. These treasures don't reveal themselves to the hurried or superficial seeker. They require the same patient excavation that Carter employed in his earthly quest.When Carter finally entered Tutankhamun's burial chamber, he found not just gold and jewels, but artifacts that revealed the beliefs, customs, and aspirations of an ancient civilization. Similarly, when we persistently search the Scriptures, we discover not merely moral teachings, but the very heart and character of God Himself.The riches Carter found were temporary, museum pieces that fascinate but cannot transform. The wisdom we uncover in God's Word, however, has the power to change our hearts, guide our decisions, and prepare us for eternity. As the wise man wrote, "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold" (Proverbs 3:1314).Let us approach our Bibles with the same excitement and anticipation that filled Howard Carter as he searched the Valley of the Kings. God's treasures await our discovery, but they require our diligent seeking. Unlike earthly treasures that may be stolen or decay, the wisdom we gain from Scripture becomes part of our eternal inheritance.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Along the way, they'll solve puzzles, engage with Texas culture, and earn entries to win a grand prize worth thousands of dollars.Unlike the Forest Fenn hunt, Seek Texas is designed to be accessible to all, encouraging collaboration among participants and it does not require physical digging. It's a tech-enabled journey that blends the thrill of the unknown with the safety and inclusivity of a modern-day adventure game.The scavenger hunt will run through the summer of 2025, with new locations and clues dropping each month. Families, friend groups, road-trippers, and solo explorers are all invited to take part.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Yes, the dreamer is the only one who knows what their dream means, and yet the dreamer also has profound blind spots about their own dreams. This is what I call the Dreamer’s Paradox.​ I talk about this idea and about my Treasure Hunt approach to dreamwork in this solo show which was originally released last summer. After the break, we take a comment from engineer Rick Kleffel saying that his favorite author Alan Moore often gets inspiration from his dreams. We are then joined by Steven E. Popp, host of KSQD’s “In The Garden” show, who comes on the air and tells us about a dream in which a huge feline, a cross between a lion and tiger, wreaks great havoc.

Host of RNZ podcast Kelly Tarlton's Final Treasure Hunt Hamish Williams joins Emile Donovan in Turtle Bay to share his journey of exploration and discovery.

The Science of Michael Jackson, 3-eyed Sea Creature, Treasure Hunt, AI Oops, Giant Strawberries & Caffeinated ants!

A legend tells of a cache of Civil War-era gold buried somewhere in the hills of Elk County, Pennsylvania. Over the past few decades, treasure hunters have descended upon the community of Dents Run to seek their fortune – and to find out if the stories are true. Dennis Parada's search began in 1974. He spent the majority of his lifetime researching the tale, put years into combing the woods, and told his son bedtime stories of Union soldiers on an ill-fated trip. Then, one day, he believed he finally found it. His research was so convincing that in 2018, the FBI agreed to excavate the site Dennis pinpointed. According to the FBI, they found nothing: no gold, and no evidence that gold had ever been there. But not everybody is convinced that the FBI is telling the full truth.

Send us a textDo you remember National Treasure, starring Nicolas Cage? We do because we love a good Adventure. After all, it has so many movie genre ingredients and if you throw Nicolas Cage into the recipe well hot damn. And if Nicolas Cage wasn't enough, it also has Diane Kruger,  Sean Bean, Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel & Christopher Plummer, all of whom we don't remember being in this movie at all. So this should be fun.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

flea market, which was bursting with colorful stalls and lively chatter.Da: Mikkel kiggede rundt, hans sind fyldt med spænding.En: Mikkel looked around, his mind filled with excitement.Da: Han var på jagt efter noget særligt til sit nye kunstprojekt.En: He was on the hunt for something special for his new art project.Da: Men tanken om det lille budget lå og gnavede bagi hans hoved.En: But the thought of his small budget gnawed at the back of his head.Da: Han ville finde noget unikt, noget med sjæl.En: He wanted to find something unique, something with soul.Da: Sofie ved hans side bemærkede hans indre kamp.En: Sofie by his side noticed his inner struggle.Da: "Rolig, Mikkel," sagde hun blidt.En: "Relax, Mikkel," she said gently.Da: "Lad os finde noget, der taler til dig.En: "Let's find something that speaks to you.Da: Noget, der får dig til at føle noget."En: Something that makes you feel something."Da: De begyndte at undersøge boderne en efter en.En: They began examining the stalls one by one.Da: Sofie pegede på gamle bæredygtige genstande og forklarede deres fordele.En: Sofie pointed out old sustainable items, explaining their benefits.Da: Mikkels øjne flakkede over keramik og bøger, men intet fangede hans hjerte.En: Mikkel's eyes flitted over ceramics and books, but nothing captured his heart.Da: Da de nåede til Lars's bod, standsede de begge op.En: When they reached Lars's stall, they both stopped.Da: Lars, med sit charmerende smil og stråhat, var en lokal legende.En: Lars, with his charming smile and straw hat, was a local legend.Da: Hans samling af besynderligheder tiltrak kiggere fra nær og fjern.En: His collection of peculiarities attracted onlookers from near and far.Da: "Velkommen," sagde Lars med en varm stemme, der matchede forårs solen.En: "Welcome," said Lars warmly, his voice matching the spring sun.Da: Mikkel begyndte at lede og opdagede hurtigt noget særligt.En: Mikkel began to explore and quickly discovered something special.Da: Foran ham lå en kasse med farverige, vintage stoffer.En: In front of him lay a box of colorful vintage fabrics.Da: Deres mønstre var som historier skåret i silke og bomuld.En: Their patterns were like stories woven in silk and cotton.Da: En dyb følelse flød gennem ham, som om stoffet hviskede inspiration i hans øre.En: A deep feeling flowed through him, as if the fabric whispered inspiration in his ear.Da: Men prisen...En: But the price...Da: Han kiggede nervøst på prisskiltet.En: He looked nervously at the price tag.Da: Sofie skubbede blidt til ham.En: Sofie gently nudged him.Da: "Hvis det føles rigtigt, så spørg," opfordrede hun.En: "If it feels right, just ask," she encouraged.Da: Lars mærkede Mikkels tøven.En: Lars sensed Mikkel's hesitation.Da: Han kiggede smilende på Mikkel.En: He smiled at Mikkel.Da: "Du er kunstner, ikke?"En: "You're an artist, aren't you?"Da: spurgte Lars og hævede et øjenbryn.En: asked Lars, raising an eyebrow.Da: "Ja," svarede Mikkel ærligt, lidt overrasket over, at Lars kunne se det.En: "Yes," Mikkel replied honestly, a bit surprised that Lars could see it.Da: Lars nikkede tænksomt.En: Lars nodded thoughtfully.Da: "Lad os sige, at vi kan lave en god aftale.En: "Let's say we can make a good deal.Da: For kunsten, selvfølgelig."En: For the sake of art, of course."Da: Mikkel kunne ikke tro sin egen held.En: Mikkel couldn't believe his luck.Da: Han takkede Lars dybt og begyndte at betale.En: He thanked Lars deeply and began to pay.Da: Mens de gik væk fra boden, holdt han stoffet tæt om sig, som en dyrbar skat.En: As they walked away from the stall, he held the fabric close to him, like a precious treasure.Da: Sofie grinede ved hans side.En: Sofie laughed by his side.Da: "Hvad sagde jeg?En: "What did I tell you?Da: Følg dit hjerte."En: Follow your heart."Da: De fortsatte gennem loppemarkedet, nu med en ny følelse af lethed.En: They continued through the flea market, now with a new sense of lightness.Da: Mikkel kunne næsten mærke ideerne strømme igennem ham, inspireret af stofferne og dagens oplevelser.En: Mikkel could almost feel the ideas flowing through him, inspired by the fabrics and the day's experiences.Da: Da de forlod markedet, vidste Mikkel, at han havde lært en værdifuld lektie.En: As they left the market, Mikkel knew he had learned a valuable lesson.Da: Tillid til hans egne instinkter og støtten fra en god ven var alt, hvad der var nødvendigt for at overvinde hans tvivl.En: Trusting his own instincts and the support of a good friend were all that was needed to overcome his doubts.Da: Inspireret og taknemmelig, gik han mod solnedgangen med en fornyet tro på sig selv og sin kunst.En: Inspired and grateful, he walked towards the sunset with a renewed faith in himself and his art.

Johnny Bananas is up to his old tricks (and we do mean OLD) on the Netflix *live* dating game, Pop the Balloon, where he may or may not have been accused of racism, but either way he was giving extreme creepy uncle cringe vibes. We follow-up on our discussion on the Gold & Greed documentary on the treasure hunt that cost some people their lives and caused many controversies over a decade. Sarah describes the Bad Influence docuseries about a group of child influencers, the parent who exploited them, and the ways it was similar to a cult. Plus, we hear about a man who got a lung infection from a disgusting daily habit, and we'll never get over it.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Get 40% off with my code BRAINCANDY at https://cozyearth.comCancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

Susie is pumped about a new documentary about a treasure hunt, and we realize we've been on the air so long that we've covered this hunt's beginning, its controversies, the treasure's discovery (???), and now the doc. We learn why it tells us a lot about human psychology, passion, addiction, celebrity, risk-taking, and more. We discuss scholarship on luck, and why sociologists tend to ignore it. We debate whether there even is "luck," why Sarah thinks she's lucky, and how a lot of it is perspective. Susie's hatred of whistling is vindicated by an advice columnist, and we learn why whistling is particularly annoying and frustrating for people in earshot (especially when they live together). Susie reveals why porn addiction is quack science, it's not actually a thing, and what actually determines whether someone thinks they might be one. Plus, we hear some fascinating things about people who are deaf and blind, and why some quirks of the hearing/seeing world show up for people even if they don't have those senses.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Get $10 off any order and enjoy free shipping when you subscribe.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Gabe Dominocielo, co-founder of Umbra, a space tech company revolutionizing satellite imagery. We discuss the rapid advancements in space-based observation, the economics driving the industry, and how AI intersects with satellite data. Gabe shares insights on government contracting, defense applications, and the shift toward cost-minus procurement models. We also explore the broader implications of satellite technology—from hedge funds analyzing parking lots to wildfire response efforts. Check out more about Gabe and Umbra at umbraspace.com (https://umbraspace.com), and don't miss their open data archive for high-resolution satellite imagery.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:05 Gabe's Background and Umbra's Mission00:34 The Story Behind 'Come and Take It'01:32 Space Technology and Cost Plus Contracts03:28 The Impact of Elon Musk and SpaceX05:16 Umbra's Business Model and Profitability07:28 Challenges in the Satellite Business11:45 Investors and Funding Journey19:31 Space Business Landscape and Future Prospects23:09 Defense and Regulatory Challenges in Space31:06 Practical Applications of Satellite Data33:16 Unexpected Wealth and Autistic Curiosity33:49 Beet Farming and Data Insights35:09 Philosophy in Business Strategy38:56 Empathy and Investor Relations43:00 Raising Capital: Strategies and Challenges44:56 The Sovereignty Game vs. Venture Game51:12 Concluding Thoughts and Contact Information52:57 The Treasure Hunt and AI DependenciesKey InsightsThe Shift from Cost-Plus to Cost-Minus in Government Contracting – Historically, aerospace and defense contracts operated under a cost-plus model, where companies were reimbursed for expenses with a guaranteed profit. Gabe explains how the shift toward cost-minus (firm-fixed pricing) is driving efficiency and competition in the industry, much like how SpaceX drastically reduced launch costs by offering services instead of relying on bloated government contracts.Satellite Imagery Has Become a Crucial Tool for Businesses – Beyond traditional defense and intelligence applications, high-resolution satellite imagery is now a critical asset for hedge funds, investors, and commercial enterprises. Gabe describes how firms use satellite data to analyze parking lots, monitor supply chains, and even track cryptocurrency mining activity based on power line sagging and cooling fan usage on data centers.Space Technology is More Business-Driven Than Space-Driven – While many assume space startups are driven by a passion for exploration, Umbra's success is rooted in strong business fundamentals. Gabe emphasizes that their focus is on unit economics, supply-demand balance, and creating a profitable company rather than simply innovating for the sake of technology.China's Growing Presence in Space and Regulatory Challenges – Gabe raises concerns about China's aggressive approach to space, noting that they often ignore international agreements and regulations. Meanwhile, American companies face significant bureaucratic hurdles, sometimes spending millions just to navigate licensing and compliance. He argues that unleashing American innovation by reducing regulatory friction is essential to maintaining leadership in the space industry.Profitability is the Ultimate Measure of Success – Unlike many venture-backed space startups that focus on hype, Umbra has prioritized profitability, making it one of the few successful Earth observation companies. Gabe contrasts this with competitors who raised massive sums, spent excessively, and ultimately failed because they weren't built on sustainable business models.Satellite Technology is Revolutionizing Disaster Response – One of the most impactful uses of Umbra's satellite imagery has been in wildfire response. By capturing images through smoke and clouds, their data was instrumental in mapping wildfires in Los Angeles. They even made this data freely available, helping emergency responders and news organizations better understand the crisis.Philosophy and Business Strategy Go Hand in Hand – Gabe highlights how strategic thinking and philosophical principles guide decision-making in business. Whether it's understanding investor motivations, handling conflicts with empathy, or ensuring a company can sustain itself for decades rather than chasing short-term wins, having a strong philosophical foundation is key to long-term success.
