Esther Offringa is a Realtor based in the Netherlands who was excited to share see how the U.S. market was doing. Here’s what Offringa had to say about her experience at this year’s Inman Connect New York. My favorite session was definitely Being a doorman… for John Henry. His enthusiasm, the way he didn’t let mischance set him back was so inspiring. We were here in 2016 with a small group from the Netherlands for the first time. I think a “first time” is always more overwhelming / more fabulous.

What happened when I Connected: Katie's top takeaways
I’m a big believer in the old adage, “the more you learn, the more you earn” — and you never stop learning and growing, and Inman Connect is always one of the best places to do just that. I had the pleasure of speaking and presenting at Inman Connect NYC (#ICNY) this past month, and as we’ve done in years past, I wanted to share a few of my top takeaways and also those from some of my dear friends, colleagues and Inman ambassadors. This year I had the good fortune to be onstage four times.

I have several favorite sessions. But three stood out the most; Simon Sinek’s, Chelsea Peitz’s and John Henry’s. Simon Sinek was amazing. Huge shout out to Brad Inman for making this happen.

This Artist's 3D Spongebob & Patrick Pictures Will Ruin The Show For You Forever
Our generation grew up thinking that living in a pineapple under the sea, or beneath a cushy rock, was perfectly normal for cartoons. Furthermore, having a sponge and a starfish build their friendship over time wasn't the weirdest thing we've watched. Think about it, we've seen beavers and wallabies, all on the Nickelodeon network. It was all fun and games until a 3D artist, Miguel Vasquez, decided to make Spongebob and Patrick look human.

What Does A Rodeo Clown Do? ‘BB19’s Jason Dent Has A Surprisingly Intense Job
Every summer, we get to look forward to so many things: beach trips, umbrella drinks, and watching Big Brother. This season premieres on June 28 and promises an interesting cast which includes a cosplay artist, stay-at-home dad, and a dog walker. But nothing could've prepared us for the unique occupation of BB19's Jason Dent, who is a rodeo clown. So, what does a rodeo clown do? The job description is a lot like what we already know about clowns, who entertain us with a funny nose and makeup.
Lorde's Alleged Secret Instagram For Onion Ring Reviews Is The Most Relatable Thing Ever

13 Movies People Hated In The '90s, From 'Kazaam' To 'Anaconda'
The 1990s was a confusing time for all of us, what with the releases of the Barbie song, Eiffel 65, and a list of films that somehow managed to include aliens, bad special effects, and self-made rappers who had no business hitting the big screen in the first place. With that said, the '90s was also an experimental period, that I, at least, learned to embrace. In addition to the truly great films that came out, there were plenty of movies that people simply hated in the '90s.

Why Are Jekyll & Hyde In 'The Mummy' Remake? A New Universe Is Being Built
As fans head to theaters in order to check out The Mummy remake starring Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella, something about the film might make them scratch their heads. Jekyll and Hyde are in The Mummy for... some reason. Russell Crowe plays Dr. Jekyll in the film, and since the strange tale of Jekyll and Hyde doesn't exactly sync up with the Mummy franchise as we know it, it's OK to be confused. But, given the context of the new film, this actually makes sense.
Where Is The Real Megan Leavey Now? The Soldier's Love For Dogs Is Still Strong
Megan Leavey isn't your typical war movie; after all, it's less about actual warfare and more about the bond between a young Marine and her military combat dog. The Kate Mara-starring film is based on a true story, following the journey of Leavey, a real Marine Corporal who battled depression after losing her partner after several missions in Iraq, and who found surprising friendship with a dog companion. But where is the real Megan Leavey now?
11 Oscar-Nominated True Crime Movies To See ASAP
Crime movies always have a way of keeping us on pins and needles while we attempt to discover the culprits and iron out the plot, but when they're true crime films, there's an extra layer of intensity.

'The Mummy' Sequel Could Be A Big Part Of The Dark Universe
The Mummy has been playing in theaters for a few days now, but the pressing question of whether it has sequel potential still goes unanswered.

11 Messed Up Life Lessons We Learned From Movies
When I was a kid, my mom would tell me, "that's what you get." I thought that was the most terrible but real thing a parent could ever say to their kid. Little did I know, the reality is actually that you don't always get what you deserve, and statements like my mom's now seem more pulled from pop culture than real life. All of us are guilty of blindly taking life lessons from movies and shows all the time, and sometimes these things we learn are just downright depressing.

As a queer person, June, aka Pride Month, is a big month for me to let loose and celebrate my own coming out story while also rejoicing in my truth.

You're probably as pumped as I am about Pride month, and chances are you're looking for any and everything you can do to celebrate.

'The Mummy' Is A Remake, But Not Of The Movie You'd Think
On June 9, fans will get to see Tom Cruise headline The Mummy — but you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd already seen the exact same film a number of years back. As it turns out, The Mummy is a remake, but not of the movie you're probably thinking of, that came out in the '90s. It's actually a remake of the original Mummy released in 1932. Who would've thought?
Childish Gambino’s Next Album Could Be His Last, Break Out The Tissues
On Sunday, June 4, Childish Gambino, aka Donald Glover, performed his Bootsie Collins reincarnation album, "Awaken, my love!," at the Governor's Ball in New York City. He wrapped the set with "Redbone" while announcing his love for fans and finished with, "I'll see you for the last Gambino album." Whaaat? Glover's next album as Childish Gambino could be his last? I'm not ready to let go, and I'm sure you're not either. But the reason why Gambino's album could be his last makes sense.
