Finally... the moment so many listeners have made so clear that they wanted back - and ASAP... Jen Fenton is on the mic - again!

She's back from across-the-Pond and shaking things up. We are fully audio this episode, but we will be back to video soon enough. Plate & Ponder's technical team is working around the clock to make that happen! Until then though, we hit some great, and very meaningful subjects:

1 - The highly impactful and thoroughly touching lessons shared by both Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek during their final days... RIP, and we embrace the wisdom you both shared... GREATLY!

2 - The impact of 4th Grade, as described by expert Mike Foster! It makes so much sense, and we highly recommend thinking about those days to understand yourself a little better.

3 - Girl Scout cookies... Are they a racket? What are the best ones? How do the financials breakdown?

4 - Jen's amazing trip to Europe and how amazingly debonair her father is!

5 - And SO much more......

We are in 42 Nations around the world now! Watch out! 50 isn't too far away, and if Jen is on the pod, we know we will get there sooner than if she isn't!

Enjoy, Review, Follow, and Download... Til Next Time... Thank you, and live every moment to its fullest!

Florida Real Estate is a hot topic to so many, so this episode brings to light some of the true reality of that volatile, yet valuable market. Even better, it allows me to catch-up with one of my longest-time besties, GREG COHEN - we're talking a 50-year relationship! Not kidding!!

Don't worry though, Jen will be back for the next episode. But I will say that it was fun catching-up with my boyz across the country while my amazing wife journeyed across the pond...

Not only did we cover Florida's Real Estate market, but we also hit on:

Quality empty-nesting advice.
How AI is affecting Greg's law firm, and how AI is utilized as a legal tool.
How Greg avoided being in the Jeffrey Epstein files!
How we both had moments in our childhood involving the back of police cars.
How those moments shaped us and made us more resilient and sage.
How neither of us could get into Tulane, Cornell, or Miami in today's world.
The fond memories we have of our days at The Benjamin School.
Palm Beach Gardens Rec Soccer - back in the old days! (Note: Greg was a ball hog!)
And the frightening moments of when Greg almost became shark food drifting a mile off the Palm Beach Inlet in the Atlantic Ocean.

Yeah, we hit it all and much much more. Please follow, download, enjoy, and review... 40 Countries and Counting!
We are PLATE & PONDER: Empty-Nesting with Jen & Chris Fenton!!

With Jennifer Empty-Nesting in Europe, I Plate & Ponder with former Uber-Agent-now-turned-film-producer, Emile Gladstone, who recently moved to the South Bay after he and his family were directly affected by last year's tragic Palisades fire. Our multi-decade relationship has led to many-a-deep-conversations over hundreds of bottles of wine and cigars, and this discussion continued the tradition. While watching a terrific sunset and eating some spicy sausage pizza from REDWOOD PIES, we tackle:

Empty Nesting vs Being almost there...
Movie-making, and Emile's latest film...
Jeffrey Epstein...
The various challenges hitting the media business and so many other areas of daily life...
AI and how AI is shaping the world...
And a hopeful belief of where the future is going...
