Netflix, here in the final leg of the year, premiered a new series that immediately restructured my best-of list for 2025. It pretty much kicked all the titles aside, claiming its spot at the proverbial mountaintop. I’m talking about The Beast in Me, the taut new psychological thriller that hit Netflix last week. I had seen the title art rolling across my TV screen, but it wasn’t until I heard series star Claire Danes speak about the show on a recent episode of the SmartLess podcast that I decided to give this title a try. Needless to say, I finished it in…

This is super important during busy weekdays, as I sometimes don’t have time to eat a full meal again until the late afternoon. Although delicious, I was getting bored of fried eggs on toast, so I tapped into my food history for ideas and inspiration. My dad is French,…

The Windy City is famous for many things—hot dogs “dragged through the garden,” Portillo’s iconic chocolate cake, pizza as deep as lasagna—but perhaps my favorite of the bunch is Chicago-style popcorn.

I’m not someone who’s drunk much of the AI Kool Aid. I have sipped it. Swilled it around my mouth like you would an 1869 Château Lafite Rothschild.

Do I think it’s fundamentally shifted the marketing ecosystem? No. I think it’s expedited what’s been happening for some time. Reddit’s resurgence is search-dominated. The booming creator economy shows people trust people. Word of mouth still travels. Content still goes viral. People don’t click…
