Lindsay Rosenthal has 50,000 followers on LinkedIn and makes content alongside OpenAI, HubSpot, Atlassian, Descript, and LinkedIn itself. So when she told us she currently uses zero AI for her ideas... and stopped using it for her scripts and copy entirely... we stopped the conversation and made her explain. What she said next is the whole episode. There's a specific reason AI can make you competent and almost never makes you the best, and once you hear it you can't unhear it. We also got into the exact 30-day plan for someone sitting at 500 followers right now, why commenting is the most underrated sales activity on the internet, whether you should tell people you used AI, and the story of a guy who built a business on AI avatars and shut it down after a conference. Oh, and Fonzie's back. He brought the Waffle House rule.

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Fault Lines, Family Trauma, and the Courage to Still Stand Dr. Gregory Williams speaks with author Tim Smith about childhood kidnapping, neglect, shame, therapy, memory, identity, and how telling the truth can turn trauma into hope, healing, and personal power. This week's guest is Tim Smith. Tim grew up in the rural South in an environment shaped by addiction, instability and neglect--experiences that would later form the emotional backbone of his writing. His book, "Faultline" was released recently. Guest Spotlight: Tim Smith Tim Smith is the author of Fault Line: Still Standing, a memoir rooted in his childhood experiences of family instability, neglect, trauma, and the long process of naming what happened to him. In this episode, he discusses being taken from his father by his mother at age six, the emotional “fault line” that shaped his life, the role of therapy in recovering memory and meaning, and the hard-won belief that a person's past can shape them without defining them. Opening From Houston With a Message About Trauma and Truth In this episode of Breaking the Silence, Dr. Gregory Williams opens from Houston, Texas, reflecting on birthdays, memories, and how significant moments can bring both good and painful emotions to the surface. Before introducing his guest, he continues a series of practical reflections on healing from abuse and trauma. His first point is to tell yourself the truth: admit what happened, acknowledge that it was not your fault, and stop hiding the reality of the pain. He also reminds listeners that trauma may affect behavior, triggers, and responses, but it is not the whole of a person's identity. Separating Identity From Experience Dr. Williams emphasizes that what happened to someone is not the same as who they are. He tells listeners that abuse, domestic violence, neglect, human trafficking, and other traumatic experiences may shape a person's reactions, but they do not define the person's worth or future. He uses his own life as an example, saying that aspects of how he showers, dresses, and responds to certain situations were shaped by childhood abuse, yet those experiences are not his identity. He frames this as a key part of healing: replacing “what's wrong with me?” with “what happened to me, and what support do I need?” Breaking the Silence Safely Another key lesson Dr. Williams shares is the importance of breaking silence carefully and safely. He encourages survivors to find someone trustworthy before sharing painful truths, whether that person is a spouse, counselor, pastor, teacher, friend, or another safe support. He recommends journaling as a first step, then sharing only a small portion when the time feels right. For Dr. Williams, secrets can become a prison, but safe disclosure can bring relief, healing, and resilience when the listener believes the survivor and does not push them away. Tim Smith and the Fault Line of His Life After apologizing for a scheduling mistake the previous week, Dr. Williams welcomes Tim Smith, author of Fault Line: Still Standing. Tim explains that the story had been inside him for years, but therapy helped him realize that what he had treated as mere facts were actually emotionally loaded experiences. The central “fault line” of his life, he says, was when his mother took him from his father at age six. He had not originally used the word “kidnapping” for the experience until his husband, who has a background in social work, pointed out that being taken against his will and hidden from his father for a year fit that description. Memory, Music, and the Body's Record of Trauma Tim describes how therapy reopened memories he had not revisited for decades, almost like a dam breaking. As he began writing, sensory details returned through images, sounds, smells, songs, and scenes from childhood. He explains that, as a photographer and visual person, the pictures in his mind contain “all of the data”: emotion, sound, smell, and memory. One song, Meat Loaf's “Two Out of Three Ain't Bad,” instantly pulls him back to a specific childhood scene. The conversation shows how trauma is stored not only as narrative memory, but also through the body, the senses, and emotional association. Kidnapping, Silence, and Dissociation Tim recounts the morning his mother took him, describing how she woke him, had him kiss his father goodbye, and led him toward a car driven by his soon-to-be stepfather. He remembers becoming immediately frightened, crying in the back seat, and later being threatened that he would be left on the side of the interstate if he did not stop. Afterward, he lived in trailer parks and became nonverbal at home for about a year, using silence as the only weapon available to him as a small child. He also describes staring out windows and mentally leaving situations he could not control, a pattern of dissociation that continued as a survival tool. Shame, Neglect, and Reclaiming Worth The middle section of the interview explores Tim's childhood neglect, poverty, and shame. He remembers not being fed breakfast, being placed on free breakfast and lunch programs, and being mocked at home for his body and perceived effeminacy. He says that abuse, neglect, and homophobic shaming made him fearful and ashamed for decades. Later in life, even while working in private equity in Beverly Hills, he still had to challenge the internal belief that he was somehow less than everyone else. Through therapy, reflection, and the writing of his memoir, Tim came to see that the darkness of his past was not who he was. Therapy, Meaning, and the Ingredients of Peace Tim and Dr. Williams discuss therapy, trust, medication, shutdown, suicidal despair, and the search for meaning after Tim's mother died, September 11 happened, and he lost his job in quick succession. Tim says writing the book became therapeutic, though it also brought intense PTSD moments and painful memories. When Dr. Williams asks him to imagine cooking up “peace” on a Waffle House grill, Tim names ingredients such as believing in yourself, knowing who you are, stability, routine, love, a safe relationship, dogs, and the feeling of taking a nap on a rainy Sunday afternoon. His definition of peace is simple, embodied, safe, and deeply earned. Taking Back Power and Choosing Hope Near the end, Dr. Williams asks Tim what he would say to listeners who have carried trauma for decades. Tim tells them to be brave, to understand that healing may require burning like a phoenix, and to remember that pain may be part of them but does not control them. He urges people to take back power from the false narratives in their heads, from abusive or neglectful parental voices, and from a past that is not their identity. The episode closes with Dr. Williams recommending Fault Line: Still Standing, sharing Tim's website faultlinememoir.com and Instagram Tim.Smith.writes, and reminding listeners that there is always hope, no matter what happened to them.
This week, Andrew and Jay dive into one of the most overlooked competitive advantages in business: simplicity.Inspired by Stuart Brand's The Maintenance of Everything, they explore why every system naturally drifts toward chaos, and why leaders should must eliminate it.Along the way they discuss why simple systems outperform complicated ones over the long run, the surprising leadership lessons hidden in Waffle House's infamous order system, how unnecessary complexity creates maintenance nightmares, hiring for curiosity instead of just qualifications, why great communication always requires a closed loop, and the difference between patient hiring and slow hiring.Here's the insane Waffle House video they discuss.
On Monday's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Brandreth Canaley, Michael Goldin, and Jamie Lane get into three stories about where the STR industry is headed now that the FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States is behind us.The conversation opens with Airbnb's partnership with CarTrawler for car rentals in five countries, the latest step in Airbnb's quiet transformation into a traditional OTA. It already has homes, hotels, experiences, services, and airport pickups. The crew digs into what that means for hosts who built their business around a platform that was supposed to be different. They also run through the final World Cup numbers for STR operators: rate gains were real across host markets but occupancy told a different story, and hosts who priced too high too early paid for it. They close with the Freddy Effect and what a German tourist who fell in love with Waffle House, Inc. House and Buc-ee's, Ltd.'s teaches operators about authentic guest experiences and word of mouth that actually moves markets.This episode is presented by StayFi & Bilt.

“It's the most readable death metal logo I've ever seen in my life…” Dave and Joe Haley. If you're trying to understand the importance of this particular drum & guitar team, just think of some of the other legendary “band of brothers” in the metal community that come to mind who have gone on to elevate and transform modern music as we know it…brothers such as Alex & Eddie Van Halen and Vinnie & Darrell Abbott.

Episode 269 and we're sneaking up on the big 300 milestone. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog get into it on everything going on around the league, starting with the LeBron James free agency saga that's now held the entire schedule hostage for three weeks running. The guys break down the shifting odds between Miami, Cleveland, and Philly, dig into why nobody thinks the Knicks have a shot, and Rob Horry gets personal about the "just make a decision" frustration versus understanding LeBron's family situation with his daughter. From there it's a full free agency roundup — DeMar DeRozan possibly heading back to San Antonio, Draymond Green's future tied entirely to LeBron's decision, and the Lou Dort three-team trade that sent him to Atlanta while OKC stacked up draft picks. The Warriors' Summer League championship run gets its own segment, with the guys going deep on their new draft pick and why he might be the reason Draymond doesn't come back to Golden State. Also on deck: an early 2026 rookie class debate, an Anthony Davis interview clip that gets Horry fired up about "40-plus wins," the ongoing Gary Trent Jr. cap circumvention investigation, and a Big Shot of the Week shoutout to a Kansas City police officer who tracked down a stolen e-bike for a cancer patient. Then things go completely off the rails with the Waffle House training video breakdown and a new round of Walmart or Waffle House. New episodes every Tuesday.

Throughout the conversation, he emphasized faith, service, community engagement, resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the importance of mentorship in business.

Discuss how entertainment, food, and culture can create meaningful experiences. Provide lessons on business ownership, leadership, and perseverance. Inspire aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams while remaining committed to service and excellence. Key Takeaways 1. Build Around Service, Not Profit One of Thompson's strongest messages was that his business was never built solely to make money. Instead, it was created to serve people, provide memorable experiences, and create a place where adults could enjoy music, food, and fellowship. 2. Faith Guided the Business Journey Thompson repeatedly credited faith and spiritual guidance for helping him and his wife navigate challenges, including economic uncertainty, growth decisions, and the pandemic. 3. Start Small and Do the Work The Perfect Note began with humble roots. Thompson and his wife personally set up tables and chairs, decorated venues, handled operations, and tore everything down after events. Their success came from hands-on commitment and consistency. 4. Adaptability Creates Survival During COVID-19, when many businesses struggled to remain open, Thompson and his wife pivoted quickly. They transformed their operation into a parking lot food service model, maintaining customer relationships and supporting employees during a difficult time. 5. Community Support Drives Long-Term Success By serving the community during challenging periods, The Perfect Note earned lasting goodwill. Thompson believes that businesses that genuinely support people often receive that support back many times over. 6. Mentorship Is Essential Thompson advised aspiring entrepreneurs to seek guidance from people who have already navigated the challenges of business ownership. Learning from experienced mentors can help avoid costly mistakes and accelerate growth. 7. Create Experiences, Not Transactions The Perfect Note's success comes from providing more than food or music. It offers an environment where people connect, celebrate, build relationships, and create lasting memories. 8. Continuous Learning Matters Before entering the restaurant business, Thompson intentionally worked at Waffle House to learn kitchen operations and food preparation. He stressed the importance of understanding every aspect of a business before investing in it. Notable Quotes "Our purpose is to be able to have grown folks something for them to continue to still do." A reflection of The Perfect Note's mission to provide a quality entertainment experience for mature audiences. "It wasn't motivated by making money. It was motivated by serving." Perhaps the most powerful statement in the interview, highlighting the philosophy behind the business. "When we knew how to serve, the money came." A lesson that sustainable success often follows value creation and community impact. "When this is over, how you've reached out to the community, they're going to reach back out to you." His description of how community support helped the business survive and thrive after the pandemic. "Always get a mentor, somebody who has been in it." Advice to entrepreneurs about seeking guidance before and during business ownership. "Information is free. I don't own it." A statement reflecting his belief in sharing knowledge and helping others succeed. "Go all in or go home." His summary of the commitment required to build a successful business.

His journey demonstrates that long-term business success is built on service, relationships, adaptability, and a willingness to do whatever work is necessary to achieve a vision.

This hour, A 63-year-old diner is suing a Waffle House in Pennsylvania, alleging he sustained severe injuries after an "improperly installed" toilet seat tipped over and threw him to the floor. The plaintiff filed a six-figure lawsuit in Harrisburg federal court, claiming the fall caused "permanent" injuries. “The Odyssey” was released this week, and it shot to the top of the box office in spite of harsh criticism from the conservative right.
On today's show, A new July 2026 campaign poll shows that nearly 56% of New Orleans voters believe the city is on the right track, marking a massive shift in public sentiment compared to last year. The survey, paid for by the campaign of Mayor Helena Moreno and conducted by Greg Rigamer's BDPC, LLC, found that only 31% of respondents still feel the city is on the wrong track.

We start with Germany’s stunning World Cup loss to Paraguay and discover that, as usual, international soccer has a remarkable ability to make millions of perfectly rational adults behave like deranged squirrels. From there, we ponder: why so many Europeans become unexpectedly fascinated by American food and conveniences, leading us through brisket, Waffle House, Texas Roadhouse, Chick-fil-A, and Buc-ee’s, which somehow manages to be a gas station, a tourist attraction, and possibly its own form of local government. We talk air conditioning—not just as a machine that keeps people from melting into the upholstery, but as a cultural dividing line. We argue over comfort, whether humans are supposed to reshape nature or merely negotiate with it, and what it really means to "take dominion" over the world using a thermostat. We also tackle the less relaxing subjects of exit taxes, estate taxes, and the fact that governments are enthusiastic about knowing where your money is. Along the way, we examine sovereign citizen claims, why those arguments consistently fail in court, and whether anyone can truly live outside government authority. By the end, we've connected soccer heartbreak, roadside brisket, industrial-strength air conditioning, and tax law into one conversation, which is either impressive or a compelling argument that podcasts are a waste of time.

The Knicks finally did it. Bomani Jones reacts to the New York Knicks winning the NBA championship, Jalen Brunson's legendary 45-point closeout performance, and what this title means for New York City. Bo breaks down how Brunson cemented himself as the king of New York, why the Knicks' depth, conditioning, and maturity ultimately separated them from the Spurs, and how Mike Brown coached a championship-level series. Bomani also reflects on the unique relationship between the Knicks and New York City — from Madison Square Garden to the streets, bars, parks, and neighborhoods that turned this championship run into a citywide experience. Why does this title feel different from other championships? Why do the Knicks hit New Yorkers so deeply? And what does this moment say about basketball as theater, culture, and community? Plus, Bomani discusses the start of the World Cup, the excitement around the U.S. men's national team, and the experience of international fans discovering America through sports, road trips, Waffle House, Buc-ee's, and the South.

1. Jill Biden and President Joe Biden Jill Biden’s remarks about President Biden’s debate performance. She feared he may have been having a stroke, arguing that: Her actions afterward (campaign event, public praise, restaurant visit) contradict that concern. This suggests either exaggeration or dishonesty. Claims that President Biden experienced cognitive decline. Allegations that political leaders and media knowingly concealed this. Media organizations and Democratic officials were aware of Biden’s alleged condition. There was a coordinated effort to hide or minimize it. They frame this as an example of: Political power being prioritized over transparency. A broader credibility problem in U.S. politics. 2. U.S. Shipbuilding and National Security Key points: Heavy reliance on foreign-built ships is presented as a national security risk. A major funding initiative (~$24 billion) for the U.S. Coast Guard is described. Investment includes: New ships and helicopters Arctic icebreakers Shipyard construction (notably in Texas) Claimed benefits: Increased domestic manufacturing Job creation (thousands of jobs) Strategic competition with China and Russia in the Arctic The senator describes: Internal negotiations over where shipbuilding contracts would go (Texas vs. Louisiana). Involvement of the White House and President Trump (in this narrative timeline). Emphasis is placed on: Negotiation strategy Achieving a “win-win” outcome Expanding production beyond initial goals 3. College Sports Crisis and NIL Issues Problems identified: Escalating athlete compensation (tens of millions per team) Transfer portal instability Financial losses for universities Elimination of non-revenue sports (e.g., tennis, Olympic sports) Proposed solution: A bipartisan bill called the “Protect College Sports Act” Supporting arguments: College sports provide educational opportunities for disadvantaged students They promote social unity and personal development Includes testimony from Nick Saban highlighting unsustainable financial trends.
