Rainman's Take

Rainman and Janet discuss her uncle Zacharia who was a well known author and researcher of ancient civilizations and cuneiform writing. Janet is responsible for helping to keep his legacy alive since his death in 2010. If you are the type who is trying to figure it all out and are searching for answers outside the established doctrine, and have an open mind...then you'll love learning about Zacharia's work from his niece, Janet. Enjoy!

Find out what it's like to play competitive poker and participate in the 2019 World Series Of Poker.

Enjoy!

You like whiskey? I like whiskey. That's why I interviewed Matt "Woody" Kidd, co-founder and head distiller at Storyhouse Spirits. We talk all things distilled spirits and had a great time, I know you'll enjoy it. Cheers

Second of a two part interview discussing Bruce's extensive experience in the Middle East and South West Asia. We finish up his combat deployments in Iraq and then discuss his other billets in Bahrain and Pakistan. Some great insight into combat in those theaters as well as some of the geo-political moves taking place in those areas. It was a sort of recent history lesson of the last 20 years of US foreign policy that seems to be ever evolving with no end in sight.

We talk about tapping into deeper levels of consciousness through shamanic practices. Very interesting and enjoyable conversation and I know you'll enjoy it!

Rainman talks with Josh O'Connor, Curator of TEDxUCLA. Josh has been successfully running TEDxUCLA and in that time has had some incredible speakers including Simon Sinek and Brene Brown whose careers have both blown up since their original TED talks. Josh goes into just how involved the process is be able to distill an idea down to it's essence that can be presented in a short talk, sometimes only a few minutes long. A deep dive into what it takes to produce a successful TEDx conference from someone who has been doing it at a very high level for a long time.
