“ The joy of live performance is that we're all experiencing the same thing together and it unites us as a community.” When I think of crossword puzzles, I think of a quiet, cerebral exercise. It's often a solitary activity, maybe occasionally yelling out if anyone knows a four letter word for "milk's favorite cookie." When Zach Sherwin considered crossword puzzles, however, he thought, okay... but what if it also had comedians, rap, music, and just a little bit of chaos, all wrapped up in an epically funny live show? Zach Sherwin has long had a way with words. He cut his teeth performing sketch comedy and honing his rapping skills as MC Mr. Napkins. He eventually found his way to Epic Rap Battles of History, which found a way to make nerdy, boring history feel fun and – dare I say – cool. His love of wordplay and puzzles led him to create The Crossword Show. Zach Sherwin presides as two guest comedians solve a crossword puzzle live onstage, with everything displayed on a big screen so you can follow along. As the solvers decipher the clues, Zach takes the show down rabbit holes of comedy, music, wordplay and trivia, all inspired by the answer words. Everything ties together at the end for a grand finale. It is clever, hilarious, and had me awestruck at the mental gymnastics Zach goes through over the course of the show. Zach joins us on REPOD to talk about how he turned a quiet nerdy activity into something funny, thrilling, and interactive. I really enjoyed hearing him talk about the secret sauce of crafting this show, from how he adjusts the difficulty of the clues, to what makes a live show special. He was a delightful guest. Are you intrigued by how a live crossword stage show works? Zach will be performing at the Reality Escape Convention in Laval in 2026. This is a show you won't want to miss.     Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

AI can't recommend what it can't see – or trust. Today's large language models lean hard on third-party proof: legal directories, reviews, awards, and case results that signal who's actually “the best” in your market. In this webinar replay, Rankings.io experts Shawn Denney and Logan Mosby unpack the AI feedback loop for law firms: how Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, Justia, Yelp, and structured case results feed LLMs the data they use to decide which firms get cited, clicked, and ultimately chosen. Learn: Why legal directories now act as AI “authority amplifiers” for your firm How to use Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, and Best Law Firms strategically (without wasting budget) The right way to fully optimize Justia, Yelp, and other high-value profiles for AI and humans How to structure, publish, and scale case result pages so AI can surface your biggest wins Get Social!

Cut Calories, Keep the Flavor: My Favorite Non-Alcoholic Beers for Over-40 FitnessClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!In this fun and practical episode, Brad Williams dives into the booming world of non-alcoholic beers—something he's been experimenting with to cut calories, drink more responsibly, and stay social while still enjoying the taste of beer. As a longtime cocktail and IPA fan, Brad shares how his search for better NA options actually started with his dad, who quit drinking and discovered a game-changing brand called Bero (co-founded by Tom Holland).Brad breaks down why today's “mock beers” taste far better than the old-school O'Doul's and Corona Zeros—and how the explosion of Gen Z/Gen Alpha non-drinkers is fueling innovation across the industry.Brad reviews a wide range of NA beers across multiple categories, sharing what's worth buying—and what to skip:Bero (Bero/Barrow): The brand that started his journey. Solid lineup including hazy IPA, golden pilsner, wheat beer, and seasonal releases. Tastes surprisingly close to real beer.Athletic Brewing Co.: Brad's family favorite overall—huge variety, great flavors, constant new releases. Their Mexican-Style Copper stands out despite being a lower-calorie exception.Guinness Zero: The closest match to the original of any NA beer he's ever tasted. Nearly impossible to tell apart from real Guinness.Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic Belgian White: One of the best wheat-style replicas; incredibly close to the classic flavor.Golden Road Mango Cart (NA): A top pick if you like fruity wheat beers—shockingly close to the real Mango Cart.Sam Adams Just the Haze: Brad's favorite hazy IPA option—refreshing, citrusy, and extremely satisfying.Lagunitas IPNA: A strong IPA choice true to the Lagunitas vibe.Asahi & Sapporo (Zero versions): Best-in-class among light NA beers; great pairing for sushi nights.Becks, Heineken Zero, Stella Zero: Solid middle-tier options—better than old-school NA beers but not as flavorful as Bero or Athletic.He also calls out what to avoid—especially NA beers under ~60 calories, which tend to taste like hop water. Athletic Brewing's “Athletic Light” and many 20–30 calorie beers miss the mark.Dark/Stout: Guinness ZeroIPA: Bero Double Tasty West Coast IPAHazy IPA: Sam Adams Just the HazeWheat Beer: Blue Moon NA Belgian WhiteFruity Wheat: Mango Cart NALight Beer: Athletic Brewing Mexican-Style CopperPilsner: Athletic Brewing Golden Pilsner (best of the few he's tried)Brad also notes a big missing category: Ambers/Reds. The top-rated pick online is Shiner Rodeo Red (NA), but he hasn't been able to find it yet.Brad explains how swapping real beers for NA options has helped him:Cut calorie intake significantlyReduce alcohol load on the liverStay social while drinking lessAvoid the “alcohol creep” during long social eventsImprove hydration and recoveryIf you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

On this episode of Ask, Tell, Confess, Bunnie Xo and the girls are back, swapping holiday stories, relationship chaos, and the kind of brutal honesty that only happens with your ride-or-dies. Bunnie spills about her and Jay finally skipping hosting Thanksgiving after a whole decade, and the crew dives into their history with exes — the good ones, the bad ones, and the ones better left unspoken.They read hysterical Yelp-style “reviews” of past relationships, roast their own red flags, and get real about everything from choosing magnesium over cocaine to navigating passive-aggressive people. And of course, it wouldn't be an episode without confessions about bathroom etiquette, fart stories, and way too much information — all delivered with love, laughter, and zero shame.It's unfiltered. It's chaotic. It's relatable.Watch Full Episodes & More:YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When you open a restaurant you've investing in more than a business, you're investing in a community.  As we change and evolve as individuals so do our communities and few places more beautifully illustrate this capacity to change more than Portland, Oregon. Today's we chat with, Portland's adopted son, Celebrity Chef Gregory Gourdet. Instead of staking his claim in his hometown of New York or following the trends out to Los Angeles, Gregory has chosen to walk a more complicated path, using this talent and his food to help mend together a community that is still struggling to become the best version of itself.For more on the chef visit https://www.gregorygourdet.com_________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

Heather has shown up to the recording dress in her last dusty Brooks and Dunn t-shirt, while Atsuko is in a full conductor designer outfit with a shrimp bolo tie.

What if the biggest threat to your restaurant isn't bad food or poor service—but bad tech?That's the bet Ankit Gupta is making. After shaping food delivery at tech companies globally, he saw a blind spot no one was fixing: restaurant tech was leaving restaurants behind. Now he's leading the product team at Otter, and his mission is clear: to completely redefine what a restaurant point of sale system is and how it can holistically serve the changing needs of restaurants today.In today's conversation, he shares why POS systems should be more than a way of collecting revenue–they should be creating new revenue opportunities, how data and marketing can work together through automation to scale your brand, and what operators can learn from manufacturers to scale profitability.This is more than a conversation about tech—it's a conversation about identity, resilience, and realizing that the tools that will free us in the future already exist today.To learn more about Otter and the most powerful restaurant operating system ever created, visit tryotter.com._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

"Guests have become more sophisticated and our product needs to follow suit." Disney Theme Parks have always been at the top when it comes to large scale, interactive entertainment attractions. Doris Hardoon is a legendary Imagineer, and we don't use that term lightly. Her creative vision has graced every Disney Castle Park on the planet, from EPCOT to Disneyland and Disneyland Paris to Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disney Cruise Line, and beyond. Doris took a break from Disney to run her own design firm working on museums and other interactive design, but she returned to Disney as the executive creative director and producer for Shanghai Disney Resort. Her career at Disney theme parks and entertainment design has spanned over four decades. She joins us on REPOD to share her design philosophy and some life advice for aspiring designers. She's had a very interesting path in her career, starting with working as a model and becoming a well-known folk singer in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 70s. I especially enjoyed hearing her talk about working on the global theme parks and how “It's important to culturally understand who you're creating the happiest places on earth for.” She talks about how to design spaces that appeal to the local audience while still maintaining an authentic Disney experience. She's now turned much of her time to mentoring the next generation of entertainment designers. In this episode, Doris shares some reflections and advice on how to build the right team to support your creative vision. She also talks about how to manage corporate politics, especially when it comes to large creative companies like Walt Disney Imagineering. Doris Hardoon is a true legend, and I hope you find this episode as inspiring as I did.   Full Show Notes   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

For years, we've been taught that SEO was the key to being found online, write the blogs, keep the website fresh, get your backlinks, and trust the process. But there's a new shift happening in real estate that most agents haven't caught onto yet.  AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, is quietly becoming more powerful than traditional SEO. And it makes perfect sense. Buyers and sellers aren't searching the way they used to. They're asking full questions out loud into their phones, their cars, and their AI tools. They don't want links…they want answers.  AEO is built for exactly that. It rewards the agents who show up with real answers to real questions, not just blog posts stuffed with keywords. It's the reason some agents are suddenly popping up in AI overviews, even if their websites aren't the "best ranked." How do we set ourselves up for success with AEO? How can we take AI to the next level?  In this episode, I'm joined by digital marketing expert, StoryBrand Certified Guide, and the founder of Changescape Web, Ken Tucker.   We talk about what this shift means for real estate pros: why AEO is winning, how zero-click search is changing consumer behavior, and why some of the platforms we stopped paying attention to, like Yelp and Bing Places, are becoming essential again.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Yelp and Bing Places matter more than you think LLMs pull their local business data from platforms most agents ignore. What opportunities open up when our Yelp and Bing profiles are fully optimized and feeding the AI tools directly? Zero-click search is reshaping how people choose agents Consumers are getting everything they need in the AI overview, no clicks required. How do we stand out when the decision is made before they ever reach our sites? Your FAQs are the new fuel for visibility AI tools elevate the agents who answer specific buyer and seller questions clearly and consistently. How do we build a robust FAQ ecosystem? Speed-to-lead is being rewritten by AI phone systems. AI voice assistants respond instantly and book appointments before a human can even glance at their phone. How would this impact our conversion rates?   About the Guest Ken Tucker is a Fractional CMO and Marketing Solution Architect, StoryBrand Certified Guide, marketing expert, speaker, and President and Founder of Changescape Web.

Thanksgiving is a perfect reminder that great outcomes never just "happen." A successful holiday meal takes planning, preparation, and thoughtful timing - and retirement is no different. In this episode, we break down why intentional planning matters, why timing affects everything, and why scrambling last-minute (whether at 55, 65, or the week before retirement) only creates stress. And more importantly - why it's never too late to get clarity. We help people get organized, build an income plan they can rely on, and gain the peace of mind that comes with knowing retirement isn't left to chance. Let's dig into what true preparation looks like.

What if the only way to build a restaurant worth running was to make it fun—even in crisis?Andy Shallal didn't set out to be a restaurateur. He left a stable path in medical science, waited tables to get by, and discovered something powerful: hospitality could be a vehicle for joy, justice, and deep human connection.In this episode, Andy shares how he built Busboys and Poets into a mission-driven brand that prioritizes people over profits—and why “fun” is his north star, even through economic collapse and a global pandemic. We get into the power of quitting the wrong path, how food becomes a spiritual force, and why transparency and storytelling matter more than ever.If you've ever wondered whether restaurants can still change lives, this conversation is your answer.To learn more about Busboys and Poets, visit busboysandpoets.com._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

"Screenwriting is like a puzzle that the writers are putting together." When a television screenwriter who loves puzzles and immersive experiences turns her attention to creating a boxed puzzle game, the result is beguiling and thoroughly engrossing. The Morrison Game Factory has a deeply intimate and emotional story that pulled at my heartstrings while still engaging my puzzle brain. Screenwriter Lauren Bello created The Morrison Game Factory as puzzle challenge during the pandemic. It would have remained a small one-off game played only by her friends until Rita Orlov of PostCurious played it. She fell in love with the game, and worked with Lauren to produce the game under the PostCurious brand. We originally interviewed Rita of PostCurious on REPOD S2E7 when her award winning game Light in the Mist had just come out. Since then, PostCurious has continually produced hit after hit, including the charming puzzle-focused Ministry of Lost Things series, along with longer epics like Emerald Echoes and Threads of Fate which is a remake of the first game that Rita became known for. PostCurious games are impeccably produced. All the games have authentic-feeling props, heavyweight paper, and a beautiful artistic flair. The puzzles are intriguing, and range from light and playful to complex and layered. The storylines are always interesting and tie into the gameplay. Rita Orlov and Lauren Bello talk about their collaboration. We also spend some time dissecting all the new PostCurious games to hit the market since we last had Rita on Reality Escape Pod. I really enjoyed learning about Lauren's writing process, especially when she described it as a series of waveforms, layering the different plots, storylines, and vibe that she's trying to achieve.

" We're evolving the [escape room] experience towards something that's more theatrical, with puzzling, gaming, and immersive art all together." Magnifico is currently (as of November 2025) the top escape room in the world, as voted on by experienced escape room enthusiasts. For 2.5 hours, we were transported to another world where magic is real and anything is possible. This game was a culmination of Escaparium's signature style: epically sized and meticulously built sets with large-scale puzzles that involve the whole team, and meaningful stories told through both gameplay and theatrical moments featuring live actors. Jonathan Driscoll and Sacha St. Denis are the owners and driving force behind Escaparium, in Laval, Canada (just outside of Montreal). Since their previous appearance on REPOD, they've cemented their spot as one of the top companies in world. Last year, in 2024, they captured the #1 and #3 spots on the TERPECA rankings, with their games Magnifico and Forgotten Cathedral, respectively. Wardrobe for Sale ranked at #14, and Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen ranked at #37 in the world. It's clearly not a fluke. Escaparium is consistently creating world-class games, year after year, and when they're not busy opening new games, they're renovating and remodeling old experiences. Rain Corp. has been given a make-over into Ctrl Alt Reboot. They are also overhauling their lobby once again, creating an immersive bar experience featuring a crashed space ship. Jonathan and Sacha joined us to talk about their new games, what's driving them, and where they're getting inspiration. My biggest takeaway from this conversation was that they are very involved in the escape room community and industry. They are constantly traveling and playing games. They attend every convention. For them, it's always about the details. If even one small detail inspires their next idea, Jonathan says it's gold. That's the mindset they instill in their whole team as well.   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

What if your $10 chicken taco isn't competing with food—it's competing with feeling?Matt Egan didn't just open restaurants—he staged immersive experiences. Drawing from a background in film, Matt treats each concept like a set, every server like a character, and every moment like a scene that should stick with you.In this episode, we unpack how he turned storytelling into a competitive edge, why throwaway content kills brands, and the real reason legacy restaurants in L.A. are closing.This is for operators who feel like the work is great but still getting ignored—and are ready to turn their restaurant into a platform for emotion, identity, and belonging.

The Truth About Detox After 40: Zeolites, Toxins, and Real LongevityClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Eddie Stone - Touchstone EssentialsClick Here for Website!Detox Promo Click HereIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad sits down with Eddie—the founder of Touchstone Essentials—to talk about the origins of his company, his decades-long journey into health and supplements, and the science behind detoxification, zeolites, telomere health, greens, and fiber. This conversation is packed with practical longevity insights for anyone in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.Eddie's health journey began in his mid-20s when an insurance exam rated him as a heavy smoker—despite not smoking at all. This wake-up call pushed him into lifestyle changes and opened the door to deep interest in supplementation. Over the next 30+ years, he became an expert in nutritional science, learned what not to do in the supplement world, and eventually built Touchstone Essentials around clean, science-backed, high-quality formulations.Eddie emphasizes that supplements don't replace healthy habits, but they bridge the gap between the ideal and the reality of modern life—where fast-paced routines, processed foods, environmental toxins, and limited prep time make optimal nutrition harder to achieve.A major theme of the episode is detoxification—specifically the growing toxic burden from pesticides, chemicals, flame retardants, pollutants, and heavy metals.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

This is an episode of my podcast with my client Ray Lee that is worth to share, especially for parents.Have you ever worried about not having the energy to keep up with your kids in 5 or 10 years? Or worse, not being there for the big moments down the road? It's a heavy thought, but it's a reality that starts with the small choices we make every day.My client Ray, a dedicated father of two, found himself on this path. For years, the daily grind meant his own health was an afterthought. He got complacent and accepted age, pain, and even weight gain as a normal part of being over 40.This led to a slow decline that was stealing his vitality and his ability to be the dad and athlete he wanted to be.His story of transformation is why we recorded this latest podcast episode, "The Daily Choice: Shaping Your Body's Future."Ray made a conscious decision to change. He started showing up for himself, even when it was hard. The result? He's down 40+ pounds, running marathons, and at 49, has the energy of his 35-year-old self.He didn't just get his health back; he secured a more active future with his family.His story proves that it is never too late to make a divine choice for yourself and, by extension, for your loved ones. The journey to becoming a healthier parent, partner, and person starts with a single decision.I truly believe this episode can be a catalyst for that change.Let me know what you think.All the best,Dr. Jason Won.If you need some help from me and have decided from today to make a choice to be healthier, would love to support you in seeing a brighter and healthier future.

What happens when the dream starts to feel like a trap?For Paul Denamiel, chef-owner of Le Rivage, the pandemic forced a reckoning. After decades of nonstop hustle—no days off, total immersion—he finally stepped back…and liked what he saw. Time with his wife. Peace. Clarity. And the terrifying realization that maybe, just maybe, the restaurant didn't need him anymore.In this episode, Paul opens up about the drug of service, the grief and growth that followed his father's passing, and how he learned to run a restaurant without sacrificing himself in the process. He shares how failure shaped his business chops, why he rejected the spotlight even after working at Le Cirque, and how it feels to finally find someone worthy of taking the reins.This is for every operator wrestling with legacy, identity, and the cost of doing it all.To learn more about La Rivage, visit lerivagenyc.com._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

"Bringing the escape room to the classroom." I might be just a teeny bit obsessed with disguising learning as play, and being tricked into learning. There is a joy to figuring things out for yourself, and iterating on past knowledge to further your skills. Besides the fun of solving puzzles, there is also a real sense of collaboration and the payoff from combining observation skills with critical thinking. Enter educator Adam Bellow. He saw the potential in escape rooms to hone the soft skills of team-building, communication, and problem solving. So he created his company, Breakout EDU, to bring escape rooms to the classroom. This comes in the form of a kit that includes multiple locks, cipher wheels, and black lights, and other props. Then on the Breakout EDU platform, teachers can choose from thousands of games, resetting the Breakout EDU kit to fit the game format. Adam joins us on Reality Escape Pod to talk about creating escape rooms for kids, especially in an academic setting. The Breakout EDU games all adhere to an academic curriculum, and also incorporate their "4 Cs" - communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. I really enjoyed learning about the "4 C" cards that students use to explore different concepts after the game. These cards ask follow-up questions like "How would this game work if you didn't play verbally?" Even as an adult, playing escape rooms has helped me learn to be a better team player. I'm glad that school kids today have this opportunity too. To learn more, visit the Breakout EDU website or check out the resources below.   Full Shownotes   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

What if your biggest failure was the reason your next move actually worked?That's the story of Henry Rich—former candy entrepreneur turned neighborhood restaurateur—who's spent the last 15 years building one of Brooklyn's most beloved hospitality groups. He didn't start with a restaurant pedigree or investor backing. He started with recession scars, a cheap lease, and a gut-level belief in community over concept.In this episode, Henry unpacks how early failure gave him an “unfair advantage,” why occasion matters more than aesthetic, and the brutal economics of opening restaurants in 2025. We get into unit economics, location strategy, and why most restaurateurs are scaling too fast—and paying for it later.This is for operators who've been burned, who are building back, or who are trying to play the long game in a short-term world.To learn more about the Oberon Group and their work in Brooklyn and beyond, visit theoberon.co._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

Could you quit at the top of your game–just as your dreams were coming true? At the height of critical acclaim, Kevin Tien walked away from Himitsu, not because it failed, but because it no longer aligned. That decision rewired how he thinks about success, leadership, and the cost of ignoring your gut.In this conversation, Kevin opens up about leaving good money and momentum on the table, learning the hard way that growth without clarity leads to chaos, and why he now builds restaurants that invest in people first—even if it hurts margins. We dig into the emotional toll of misaligned partnerships, the power of complementary leadership, and how quitting isn't weakness—it's evolution.If you're stuck between what's working and what's right, this one's for you.To learn more on Moon Rabbit, visit moonrabbitdc.com._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.
