Send us a textEver wondered what it's like to lock eyes with a wild gorilla or swim alongside marine iguanas that snort salt to regulate their bodies? Jessica Kelly takes us behind the scenes of her fascinating career as a wildlife travel journalist and photographer, revealing how an unexpected path led her from psychology studies to documenting life on all seven continents.Jessica's story begins not with journalism school, but with a simple food blog called "It's Pop, Not Soda" that unexpectedly opened doors to food competitions and cookbook collaborations. When COVID claimed her event planning job, she transformed crisis into opportunity, taking over a travel section for a local newspaper focusing on nature-based destinations. The turning point came during a life-changing trip to Botswana during green season, where witnessing mothers with their baby elephants and lionesses hunting together left her forever changed. "It was just incredibly moving," Jessica reflects, "I felt like a different person after that trip."We dive deep into Jessica's most memorable wildlife encounters, from exploring the Galapagos Islands (where she insists everyone must snorkel) to trekking with gorillas in Rwanda and spotting tigers on safari in India. She offers practical wisdom on balancing healthy fear with respect when photographing powerful creatures, selecting ethical tour operators, and the gear she uses to capture her stunning images—from her Sony camera to her strategically chosen mini drone that skirts weight restrictions in many places. What distinguishes Jessica's approach is her authentic passion combined with journalistic persistence. She shares candidly about the less glamorous aspects of travel writing—the constant adaptation required, pitching stories for a year before getting a response, and finding unique angles when everyone on a press trip experiences the same activities. For those following in her footsteps or working with travel media, her advice is invaluable: allow time for organic discovery, lead with timely angles and never lose the excitement that makes each destination special.Follow Jessica's adventures on Instagram at AdventuresAreWaiting as she embarks on upcoming expeditions with National Geographic to Portugal's Azores, Alaska for grizzly bear photography and French Polynesia for her first scuba certification. Her story reminds us that the most rewarding paths are often the unexpected ones.Please take a moment to rate, review and subscribe to the Media in Minutes podcast here or anywhere you get your podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/media-in-minutes/id1555710662

In the ever-changing world of real estate investing, asset classes rise and fall with shifting markets. Yet, according to real estate veteran Kevin Bupp, one asset continuously proves its value, resilience, and scalability: mobile home parks. On a recent episode of the Raising Private Money podcast with Jay Conner, The Private Money Authority, Kevin Bupp shared his extensive experience, including raising over $250 million in private capital, and revealed what makes mobile home parks a standout investment opportunity.The Unexpected Journey to Mobile Home ParksKevin Bupp's real estate journey began at age 19. Like many, he poured his energy into single-family rentals, building an impressive portfolio of 22 properties by his mid-20s. He tasted success but also felt the sting of the 2008 market crash, when he lost nearly everything.Reflecting on that pivotal period, Kevin noted how inefficiencies in managing scattered single-family rentals, compounded by the inefficiency of technology at the time, exposed his business to excessive risk. The crash forced him to reevaluate, rebuild smarter, and ultimately, seek out asset classes offering not just cash flow and efficiency, but also resilience. This search led Kevin to mobile home parks.Why Mobile Home Parks Offer Superior Investment Benefits Recession ResistanceOne of the central appeals of mobile home parks is their stability during economic downturns. Historically, demand for affordable housing rises when the economy struggles. Mobile home parks cater directly to this need, providing low-cost living options that are in constant demand, regardless of market cycles.As Kevin explained, even during periods when single-family home rents fell, mobile home parks remained relatively stable. Residents of these communities rarely leave; replacing or moving a mobile home is expensive, creating natural “stickiness” and consistent occupancy for park owners. Operational Efficiency & ScalabilityUnlike single-family rentals spread across a wide geographic area, each with its operational quirks, a well-managed mobile home park can comprise dozens or even hundreds of income-producing units on one property. Kevin cited his company's experience, scaling from a 34-lot park to properties holding over 700 sites, allowing rapid expansion without proportional increases in overhead.Operationally, many residents in mobile home parks own their homes and simply rent the lots, reducing maintenance costs and management headaches for the investor. This model allows investors to focus on the land and common infrastructure, not individual unit repairs. Barriers to Entry and Limited CompetitionMunicipalities often resist the development of new mobile home parks due to lingering social stigma and zoning challenges. This makes existing parks more valuable over time, insulating owners from the risk of market oversupply. As Kevin put it, many parks were built decades ago and are still held by the original owners. Buying these properties often means acquiring from “mom and pop” operators, frequently below market value. Attractive Financing and Creative Purchasing OptionsKevin detailed how long-term relationships with owners and a reputation for fair, reliable purchases lead to creative financing opportunities, including owner financing with favorable terms, further improving margins and investor returns.The Role of Private Money and Building Investor RelationshipsA core theme of Kevin's discussion was raising and leveraging private capital to fuel growth. He emphasized the importance of sharing real results transparently, whether in networking groups, social media, or his podcast, as a magnet for investor interest. Kevin's approach is simple: prove success, speak openly about your business, an

Christoph Zirngibl is an award-winning German film composer who has composed music for over 120 films as well as many TV series including the Apple TV+ series Where's Wanda. It often strikes me that even with something as specific as some of Christoph's advice about work flow for fellow film composers, that it can apply more broadly to all of us, whatever our pursuits.. You'll be hearing a few clips from some of his projects in different musical styles, as well as his reflecctions on his formative student years, the strengths of the apprentice system and his interest in many aspects of filmmaking. I have previously featured a few film composers on this series, and some of these episodes are linked directly in the show notes for you. It's such an interesting career path, and I find that each of these composers have unique musical backgrounds. Like all my episodes, you can also listen to the podcast on many platforms, and I've also linked the transcript to my website Christoph Zirngibl WebsiteBuy me coffee? Thanks!

In this beautifully unplanned and soulfully enriching episode, we sit down with Roman Egenberger—Spaceologist and builder of the #portfoliohuman movement—for a wide-ranging conversation about life, identity, and what it really means to connect.Described by others as a man living many lives, Roman's path has taken him from treasury banking to coffee brewing, from managing an oat milk cooperative to advocating for local produce, investing in social cohesion, and baking truly legendary bread (barefoot, of course). A deep thinker, early adopter and joyful rebel, Roman embodies a life lived curiously and with intention.In our conversation, we explore how humanness can guide the way we do business, build relationships, and simply move through the world.Roman shares his journey from the tight-knit landscape of Liechtenstein to the fast-paced rhythms of global finance—and back again to a more grounded, people-centred life.We talk about redefining what it means to “sell” in a way that is rooted in care rather than persuasion, the value of presence in a hyper-busy world, and how Roman now uses coffee not just as a beverage, but as a bridge—creating spaces where strangers become community.We talk about the real purpose of coffee, why connection is the true currency of our time, and how creating open space—both literally and metaphorically—can lead to unexpected magic.This episode is a heartfelt reminder that life's most meaningful chapters often unfold when we let go of the plan and lead with curiosity.

In this heartfelt episode, host Wisdom Moon sits down with Christian artist and songwriter Nathan Sheridan for an intimate conversation about his remarkable life journey. In this episode, Nathan opens up about his challenging childhood marked by his parents' struggles with addiction, which ultimately led to him and his sister being raised by their grandparents in Louisiana. Nathan shares the profound impact of early family separation and loss, including a particularly devastating tragedy during his formative years.The conversation illuminates how God transformed personal tragedy into musical authenticity—a rare glimpse into the crucible that forged one of Christian music's most genuine voices. Industry veterans and fellow artists will find particular value in Nathan's candid reflections on turning pain into purpose, and how his unconventional path created a songwriting perspective that cuts through the noise of manufactured narratives. This raw origin story offers powerful lessons on developing authentic artistry that resonates far beyond typical industry formulas.CONNECT WITH NATHAN SHERIDAN:instagram.com/nathansheridanmusicCONNECT WITH US:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wisdom Moon on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lula Music Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lula Music Group on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christian Music Industry Podcast on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pure Mosaic Collective⁠⁠⁠Pure Mosaic Records

Guest Bio: Nicole Unice is a pastor and leadership coach who facilitates safe environments of vulnerability so leaders and teams can courageously identify obstacles keeping them from their maximum potential. As a sought-after speaker, Nicole has a down-to-earth style that allows even the largest gathering to feel conversational. She is the author of several books focused on spiritual transformation and is a featured speaker through RightNow Media and Punchline. She holds degrees from the College of William and Mary and from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Nicole and her husband, Dave, live in Richmond, Virginia, with their three children and two pups.    Show Summary: When was the last time you read the story of Joseph in Genesis? Have you ever connected to the way things don't work out for Joseph? Nicole Unice found comfort studying Joseph's story while she was going through an unexpected season in her own life. Nicole shares with hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins, how we can observe and learn new things about God through Joseph's life story. Join this God Hears Her conversation for a deep dive about how God works through our hardest seasons. To prepare for this episode, it may be helpful to read the story of Joseph in Genesis 37-50!    Notes and Quotes:   “Knowing God's Word isn't about knowledge, isn't about facts, isn't about being the person who always has the right answer—it's a conduit to experience the love of Christ. It's what God has given us to experience Him through.” —Nicole Unice  “So much of the reward from our life with Christ is the faithful ‘hanging' with Him.” —Nicole Unice  “We know that people go through hard seasons. But yet our hard season is completely unexpected to us. We know it's a part of life until it happens to us.” —Nicole Unice  “In any room that you enter, do you make it better by your presence? Because if Christ is in you, then that love and presence is coming. And God calls that blessed. He says that's what blessing is. It's coming to you and through you, and it's experienced by others. “—Nicole Unice  “Testing is not so that God knows what's in us. Testing is so we know what's in us because God already knows.” —Nicole Unice    Verses:   Genesis 37-50  Luke 15:17-20  Romans 8:37-39  Jeremiah 9:23-24  John 6:68-69  Jeremiah 29:1-14  Genesis 50:20  Hebrews 11:22    Links:   Nicole's Website: https://nicoleunice.com/  Nicole's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicoleunice/  God Hears Her website: https://godhearsher.org/  God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc   Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast  Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/  Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/  Vivian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/  Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://www.odbm.org/    MB01ZJMA8YBFYPB

Values-Aligned Work [00:11:25] “Our work is so deeply therapeutic in real estate sales and helping people transition between different parts of their lives, a lot of times people are moving from one identity to another identity. It could be a divorce, it could be the loss of a parent, it could be a job change, but there's a lot of roiling transition in their lives and I think that understanding or being able to empathize with that moment in their lives and being able to sort of care for it is a big part of it.”  [00:39:42] “I just have to reinvest in my values right now. And that is how our team operates. There's so many values that I could go into, but what I'm learning, because as you grow and scale, you can start to lose your core value structure. And the last few months I've been like let's get back to who we are as people and what started this whole thing.”[00:49:01] “I want my business, our business, to reflect the value that we feel, which is that we care for one another. We care for these clients and we put their interests above anything that's financial.” Connect with David GundermanWebsite - https://thegundermangroup.com/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thegundermangroup/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheGundermanGroup/Audio/video editing and show notes by Podcast Abundance.
