What if your house could change colors like a mood ring? Designer Joe Doucet is shaking things up with a futuristic paint that shifts shades based on sunlight, and let me tell you—this ain’t just HGTV-level “accent wall” drama. This is Iron Man tech meets South Beach swagger.

Beyond the Beach: Mango Groves, Coral Castles & Five-Acre Freedom in Miami’s Redlands

Swap traffic jams for tractor paths—this week ALL-IN Miami trades neon skylines for mile-wide skies in The Redlands, the 28-thousand-resident slice of Old Florida hiding just 40 minutes south of Brickell.
We’ll cruise the Redland Tropical Trail from the 37-acre Fruit & Spice Park (500+ exotic edibles, anyone?) to the cinnamon-roll nirvana of Knaus Berry Farm, then uncork lychee wine at Schnebly Redland’s Winery & Brewery, the southern-most winery in the U.S.
Need a history twist? Cue Coral Castle, a love-letter in 1,100 tons of hand-carved limestone.
For retail therapy, we’ll haggle mangos by the crate at Redland Market Village or browse banyan-shaded boutiques at Cauley Square.
Thinking of putting down roots? County zoning demands minimum five-acre lots, with price tags from the high-$600Ks to $1.5 M+.
We’ll unpack the pros (room for horses, orchards, and that hobby vineyard) and cons (no public transit; wells over city water; your new alarm clock is a rooster).
Whether you’re plotting a day trip, scouting acreage, or just craving a slower heartbeat, hit play and breathe in Miami’s countryside—one mango grove at a time.

Condos on Ice: How Tough New Laws & Vanishing Foreign Cash Are Re-wiring Florida’s Skyline

Grab your cafecito and buckle up—this week we’re peeling back the stucco to see why Florida’s condo market just slammed on the brakes. First, foreign investors who once snapped up Miami glass boxes like they were pastelitos have retreated: international buyers now account for only 10 % of condo deals, down from 18 % a year ago, with dollar volume plunging from $5.1 B to $3.1 B.
But that’s just act one. Act two? 2025’s “Condo-Law Bombshell.” Buildings 25 years and older must undergo frequent structural inspections, and associations can no longer skimp on reserves—they must fully fund 100 % of big-ticket repairs. Monthly fees and special assessments are soaring, and some longtime owners are racing for the exits.
Layer on an affordability squeeze—insurance nightmares, property-tax spikes, and a statewide inventory pile-up—and even owners of aging units can’t find takers.
In 30 spirited minutes we’ll decode:
Why foreign money dried up—and whether it comes back.
The true cost of Florida’s safety overhaul.
Who wins (and who runs) when condos morph from cash machines to cash vacuums.
Whether you’re a hopeful buyer, a condo-board war-hero, or just market-curious, tune in for stats, stories, and a few laughs at the Sunshine State’s expense. Press play—before the next special assessment arrives!

From Napa Dreams to Chapter 11: The Chef Adrianne Bankruptcy Deep Dive

Miami’s beloved Chef Adrianne’s Vineyard Restaurant & Bar has dazzled diners for nearly two decades with 24-hour braised short ribs, Tuesday-only French onion soup, and a Napa-valley escape hidden inside a suburban mall. But in June, its parent company shocked fans by filing for Sub-Chapter V bankruptcy—a move meant to rescue the restaurant from a lingering post-pandemic hangover.
In this episode, we connect the dots between culinary stardom and debt restructuring:
The origin story: How Chicago-born Adrianne Calvo went from Johnson & Wales competitions to catering the 2003 World Series—and why one life-changing Napa trip birthed a Miami institution.
Maximum Flavor, maximum pressure: Inside the high standards that earned Wine Spectator honors, Thrillist shout-outs, and 2,300 Yelp reviews—plus the cracks critics spotted before the cash crunch.
Chapter 11, Sub-V decoded: What the $1 million-plus debt, unsecured merchant-cash advances, and Cisco invoices say about running a “small city at sea”—only this city sits lakeside in Kendall.
Beyond the dining room: The dark-dining blindfold experiment, the Vineyard Reserve wine lockers, and the Grand Luxe private-chef hustle keeping revenue streams alive.
Can a luxury brand survive public financial surgery? We weigh the comeback odds, comparing Chef Adrianne’s plan to other restaurant turnarounds—and ask whether diners will still flock for anniversary dinners once the bankruptcy headlines cool.
Pour a bold Cabernet, settle in, and join us for a tasting-menu tour through ambition, acclaim, and the gritty business math behind Miami’s “maximum flavor” icon.
I'm so happy that is a bankruptcy reorganization because I LOVE eating at this wonderful restaurant in Kendall.

Condo, Meet Cruise: Russell Galbut’s Bold Bet on Floating Real Estate

Imagine buying a $4 million “unit” that wakes up in Positano, sips champagne in St. Barths, and falls asleep off the coast of Tokyo—no maintenance headaches, no property tax, and a crew that remembers exactly how you like your espresso.
That’s the pitch behind Crescent Seas, developer Russell Galbut’s audacious plan to convert retired cruise ships into 1,200 luxury condominiums at sea.
In this episode, we chart the voyage from wild idea to $70 million retrofit and ask:
Can water become the new waterfront? How Galbut’s floating co-op model rewrites centuries-old real-estate rules.
Life on a moving address: Starlink internet, pickleball decks, and a 140-city world itinerary—minus the hassle of yacht ownership.
The numbers that float: $1.25 million starter cabins, five-figure monthly fees, Bahamas registration, and zero U.S. income tax while onboard.
Competition & barriers: Why 60 other luxury-ship projects keep stalling—and the billions required to launch only one.
Risks in rough seas: Maritime law, maintenance dry-docks, and what happens when your “home” ports somewhere you can’t disembark.
Bigger trend or billionaire toy? With global wealth at a record high and second-passport demand tripling, is this the next housing frontier or just a niche for the ultra-rich?
Whether you’re a real-estate junkie, a cruise obsessive, or simply curious about humanity’s latest attempt to monetize the ocean, climb aboard for a deep dive into the most unconventional condos on — and off — the market.
