In the modern age, sharing your art with a wide audience is more accessible than ever. The “starving artist” doesn’t reall y have  to struggle in the same way, but instead they can market and deliver their work directly to the masses. With art being so widely available and constantly 2inches from our faces, do we still value it the same way we did before the age of the internet? The tools we use t...

ver the past few years, video has become one of the most prominent ways consumers engage with everything from their favorite memes to the brand's marketing to them. It’s become such an integral part of the digital experience that most websites now incorporate some form of video into the user journey. Websites have shifted from a “tell” experience to a “show” experience, and the goal is to capt...

What if I told you that you could improve your swing, predict where your ball will end up, or see your swing speed all in real time? Golf, like many other sports, has evolved. Between the rules and regulations, the strategies, and even the tech, playing golf has never been more accessible. A variety of world-class technologies has been added to improve more than just your swing, but your focus lev...

Prior to the internet, movies, TV shows, and music could make it past a few days. When you experience a cultural phenomenon, the interest in the latest media would last for weeks, sometimes even months. With the rise of the internet and social media, that cycle has sped up dramatically. People experience a major event in a matter of days, and before you know it, they are already on to the next. Mo...

Starting a business is hard enough. It takes time, dedication, and consistency to make it work, and many people give up along the way or watch their business fail. Now, with AI in the mix, expectations have shifted. People want products and projects created, developed, and implemented in the shortest time possible, and for a human, that pace is often unrealistic. AI has created the illusion of qui...

The hardest part of anything is getting started. When it comes to chasing your goals, the formula is simple: you just have to begin. Today, creating content at a semi-professional level is more accessible than ever. The tools are already in your hands—your smartphone. If you’re unsure where to start, just start. Record, write, edit. No one naturally knows how to improve until they have something o...

With more and more horror movies coming out in recent years, it almost feels like the genre has gotten a little stale. Between remakes of older films and sequels that continue stories we’ve already seen, not many have truly broken out to stand above the rest. However, indie filmmakers are breaking new ground. With the release of Iron Lung , the newest film from Markiplier, it became clear that gre...

You scroll, swipe, like, chat and date with hopes that you’ll find a partner that will match you in every way. The concept sounds easy enough so then why is it such a challenge for people to meet another person that will take a relationship seriously? You meet others and friends that have successfully made it happen and yet you hear from a large pull of individuals that Hinge, Tinder and Bumble ar...

Barbershops used to be the hangout spot for many locals, not just for a quick haircut or to clean up for a wedding. They used to be a community hub where people could stop in, hang out, or even where kids would stop in and grab candy. With booking online or calling in for a haircut, it seems like that sense of community has been lost. Some could even say the classic barbershop experience is fading...

Ask around and everyone will give you a different reason for why they show up. For some, it’s the taste. For others, it’s the ritual. But there’s something beneath it all worth talking about: why does pairing a hard run with a high-calorie drink work so well? Maybe it’s the balance. Maybe it’s a community. Maybe it’s the simple joy of earning something together. Whatever it is, it says a lot about...

Join Justin and returning guest Derrick, aka Avatar. Slang, on the latest episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, explores how shorter movies could benefit from longer runtimes. Grab your camera and notepad, and tune in.

Conspiracies range from completely unbelievable to uncomfortably close to reality. There are countless unknowns in the universe, so many that science can’t fully explain them… and then there are aliens. They almost fall into a category of their own, backed by numerous witnesses and video evidence. Let’s not even get into the fact that the government has made several statements validating its exist...

With Hollywood running short on fresh ideas, we’ve seen a growing wave of “based on a true story” media. Real-life events are becoming the go-to source for new movies and shows, on streaming platforms. And while this trend is pulling in viewers and boosting watch time, there’s big question remains: How true are these stories, really? What parts are genuine, and what parts are polished, exaggerated...

In most bands, the spotlight goes straight to the singer. They’re front and center, so it makes sense. Then you’ve got the guitarists, who usually grab whatever attention is left. But tucked in the back — not quiet, not subtle, and definitely not replaceable — sits the drummer. They’re often the most overlooked member of the group, even though they shape the feel of the music and quietly influence...

Horror, comedy, and action are staples of the movie business and deliver some of the scariest, most action-packed moments in entertainment culture. Despite being some of the most loved genres by audiences, many films fall short for a number of reasons, such as runtime, character development, storytelling, and world-building. Join Justin on the latest episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, alongside fe...

This is the season where we spend hours hunting for the perfect gifts for friends and family, only to realize that somehow, every...

There’s a point in your 30s when you realize your “younger self” set a bar that’s tough to reach. Whether it’s running as fast, recovering as quickly, or just finding the energy to stay active after work, the competition isn’t with others anymore — it’s with who you used to be. In this episode of the LeisureHub Podcast , Justin and his newest guest, Dimitri, dive into what it really means to keep...

A lot of us carve out time in the summer, or even randomly throughout the year, for a weekend trip or a longer getaway. We head to new towns, cities, states, or countries to see something different, meet new people, and spend time with the ones we care about. But somewhere along the way, trip planning turns into trip managing. We map out every stop, every meal, every outfit. And while there’s noth...

With the rise of anime, creators are under more pressure than ever to craft compelling stories and release new episodes in record time. Thanks to social media and shorter attention spans, fans expect their favorite shows or manga to drop on a weekly basis, but is that pace really sustainable? In many cases, a manga takes years to complete. Meanwhile, studios start the anime adaptation before the m...

When it comes to baking, the debate is always whether it’s an art or a science. But what if it’s deeper than that? Not every hobby is meant for everyone. Sometimes, the right one gives us a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and a way to decompress—a temporary escape from life’s challenges. Join Justin on this episode of the LeisureHub Podcast as he’s joined by a surprise guest: baker and philosopher...
