    When Allen Spencer receives a curious letter from his late Great Uncle Abner—complete with a cryptic treasure map—he sets out for the sunny shores of Lone Palm Key, Florida, in hopes of uncovering buried riches. But he’s not alone. Enter Graham Stewart, a distant relative with similar claims to the map and an equally stubborn sense of adventure.

    James follows a successful executive who’s lost sight of what truly matters—trading endless meetings and metrics for a chance encounter that sparks a bold detour into the mountains. As he swaps boardrooms for forest trails, he rediscovers curiosity beneath towering pines, improvises breakthroughs in high-pressure simulations, and learns to lead with empathy rather than authority. Through guided meditations by waterfall, time-boxed ideation sprints, and rituals of reflection, listeners will uncover how intentional pauses ignite creativity, how constraints fuel innovation, and how shared vulnerability builds unshakable teams. Perfect for anyone craving more than frantic hustle, James delivers a dynamic roadmap for reclaiming agency, aligning daily habits with core values, and sustaining momentum on the journey from reactive busyness to purposeful mastery.

    April, 1867. A train departs King's Cross station bound for Lincoln. Among the passengers is a man attired in the garb of one in high ecclesiastical office. He is accompanied by a brawny man carefully carrying a large leather bag, who ensures that they are not joined by any other travellers in their first-class compartment. Back at Scotland Yard that evening, Detective Inspector Colbeck is alerted to news of a brutal murder and robbery on the train. The urgent request for help from the Bishop of Lincoln states that a man has been shot dead and something of great value, a silver model of Lincoln Cathedral, has been stolen. Colbeck is more and more intrigued by the case as he and Sergeant Leeming follow the lines of inquiry, and he is convinced that the killer and thief is still close at hand. But with the city bursting at the seams for the annual Horse Fair, the timing is far from ideal and further complicates a challenging case for the Railway Detective.
