Happy New Year! In this episode we talk about a couple of ideas we've both been focusing on to make 2024 peaceful and meaningful.

“It is a high-stakes engagement to not miss the beauty of life.” This is the invitation and guidance Jon Kabat-Zinn gifts us in today's episode. A mindfulness pioneer, Jon has played a foundational role in bringing meditation to the forefront of our culture; Admirably dedicating six decades to teaching, creating Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and authoring over 15 books. I'm always inspired when Jon asks — What if life was the meditation? — and was honored to learn the various entry points we can practice it, all of which lead to “the room of the human heart when it knows itself.” We share a wide-ranging conversation exploring everything from cultivating equanimity to letting go of the stories we tell ourselves and discovering our shared wholeness. His practices are invaluable tools to be full participants in that high-stakes engagement.

Being a female in a male dominant space may be rare, but Shannon O'Grady handles it like a boss because, as COO and Chief Product Officer at Gnarly Nutrition, she IS one of the bosses.  As CPO, it is her science and research that are the brains behind every new product development at this company. When Shannon was just a teenager, she had to give up her early passion for running because of a genital heart defect. At the time, medicine didn't have the technology and procedures it does today, so she was essentially told to quit running and pursue something else.  So, Shannon turned to her other passion - SCIENCE. This led her down years of academia, where she pursued and completed her Ph.D. in Nutritional Physiology. She always dreamed of working for a sports nutrition company and, after years of letter writing, and knocking on doors, she landed her dream gig at Gnarly.   Admirably, Shannon later came back to endurance sports and became an avid and accomplished cyclist, triathlete, climber, trail runner…all the things! Today, she is most passionate about the sport and discipline of jiu-jitsu, where she is a brown belt. You'll hear a lot about how products are developed at Gnarly and how important it is to know and understand your body's needs in training and racing, but it is her advice and tips for success in life and business that I admire and appreciate most.    https://gognarly.com/    "I Could Never Do That" Website - https://www.podpage.com/icouldneverdothat/  "I Could Never Do That" Instagram - @icouldneverdothat Theme Music: Your Love by Atch -License: Creative Commons License - Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0)  Support the Podcast through BuyMeACoffee.com - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CarrieBarrett     

This is the weekly newspaper column.Wine and Mexican food 4-12-2023Beer or margarita is the knee-jerk response to alcohol pairing with Mexican and Tex-Mex food. All well and good, but wine can be in the conversation, too.OK, big tannic red wines don't play well with Mexican fare, but there are a host of wines that snuggle nicely with corn, beans, chilies, spices, beef, and pork. Rule of thumb: lighter reds, Spanish and Portuguese wines, rosés, sparkling wines all offer delicious possibilities.© Tomas Castelazo, www.tomascastelazo.com / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 4.0Here are some popular dishes and suggested wine pairings:• Chicken or beef fajitas with tomato salsa. Tempranillo, zinfandel. Medium reds with plenty of fruitiness more than hold their own with savory chicken, beef, peppers, and onions. Avoid reds with big tannins because they do not mesh with spiciness.• Tamales. Pinot noir, beaujolais, cabernet franc. Light-body reds will play well with the slow-cooked pork filling; earthiness complements the dense masa exterior.• Chili con carne. Carménère, zinfandel, GSM blend. Bold flavors and green pepper notes of the wine complement the hearty stew. Carménère, especially from Chile, is an outstanding pairing.• Chips with salsa. Sangiovese, Chianti, Nero d'Avola. Tomatoes are at the heart of both Italian and Mexican cuisine; these three Italian wines go well with tomato-based salsa.• Quesadillas. Chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, riesling. A crisp wine with high acidity will cut through the heaviness of the melted cheese. The minerality in the wines works well with the onions and the tortilla.Tasting notes• Gillmore Mariposa Rosado de Pais 2021: Fresh, soft, faint red fruits; excellent acidity; very approachable. Superb value. $5-10 Link to my review• Albert Bichot Horizon de Bichot Chardonnay 2020: Languedoc chard drinks like more expensive chards from tonier regions. $15-18 Link to my review• Koyle Gran Reserva Carménère 2019: Silky in the mouth, delicious.

Do brands last a lifetime? What makes some brands survive while others fail?Think about this question as it relates to your own life. What brands and products do you remember from your childhood? Are those brands still existing?If so, what could their main secrets be? If they are no longer around, what could have led to their extension? So, perhaps you already know the answers to these questions. My favorite childhood car brand was the French-built Peugeot. The Peugeot company was founded in 1810 by Jean-Pierre Peugeot, who began making coffee mills and bicycles.Despite not having seen my grandfather’s functional Peugeot 504 (Peugeot’s first Saloon Car), I did see the spoilt immovable car kept in the garage. The car’s round headlights and sunroof caught my attention at the time. On occasion, he gathers his young children and tells them stories of his car-related antics. From Ho to Hohoe and Aflao to Accra, he traveled.It was the most adored vehicle in the 1970s and 1980s. I used to only consider traveling by the Peugeot. All this time I was hoping for a meaningful experience that I would be able to talk about with my grandfather. Was his account of the car similar to my personal experience, in other words? Brand's perception vs customer experience.Admirably the Peugeot still exists today with different models made, and the company has evolved. Today, I will share with you three key secrets among the many that help brands thrive over generations. There are several ways brands can survive and thrive. The key to success lies in understanding these strategies and applying them to your business. Let’s get started… Customer-focused: if your goal is for your customers to feel satisfied and you put your all into it to achieve that result, your customers will come back to serve you in many ways. Some may become your unofficial brand ambassadors. Brands that attain iconic status are people-minded. They take pride in their work and they go the extra step to ensure that their clients and customers are satisfied. Brands that last know that they’re in business because of people. They realize that these people will be spreading the good word and image about the brand, which will bring in more clients and more money. Brands that last put a premium on their customer acquisition and retention processes and don’t let it happen by chance. are the ones that succeed over the long term. The key to creating enduring customer value is to figure out how to build sustainable competitive advantage, not just for individual companies but for entire industries. Be value-driven! Communication: Brands that last keep their communication channels open all the time. Lasting brands use both new and old media to promote your business. Social media is used to engage with people, listen to them, provide feedback, and promote products and services. Listening helps provide avenues for bettering your products and services and strengthening your brand's presence Lasting brands have a strong digital presence and constantly improve their digital presence to stay top of mind for their target audience.These actions help to strengthen the bond between the brand and its customers Consistency: Consistency is key. Nothing remarkable can be achieved without consistency. It's the value, the voice, and the brand that drives home the message. Brands that last are always improving, always innovating, and always marketing their products and services Follow Coca-Cola’s lead. They’ve improved, even their formula, packaging, and messages, and constantly market themselves.Returning to the Peugeot brand, one of their success secrets has been their ongoing commitment to innovation and improvement. They never gave up, and today it’s one of the most sought-after cars in Europe by tourists.In addition to nine other Car of the Year wins in Spain, they have won five Car of the Year awards in Italy. I will summarize it all by ending with the words of James C. Collins from His Book, ‘Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies, “The good news is that one of the key elements of being a visionary company is strikingly simple: Good old-fashioned hard work, dedication to improvement, and continually building for the future will take you a long way… The bad news is that creating a visionary company requires huge quantities of good old-fashioned hard work, dedication to improvement, and continually building for the future. There are no shortcuts. There are no magic potions. There are no workarounds. To build a visionary company, you've got to be ready for the long, hard pull. Success is never final” To remain relevant, brands must continuously reinvent themselves to attract new customers or retain existing ones. This requires constant innovation and adaptation. In conclusion, note that lasting brands are not built on autopilot, when it comes to building lasting brands, it's important to understand what makes your brand different from others, and then find ways to leverage those differences to create lasting value for your customers.

A great response to exposure to the truth could be and should be, "What then shall I do?"  It indicates eagerness, willingness, humility and intent. It is a marker that the listener has been stirred and that there is a willingness to change.  John the Baptist calls for "bearing fruit in keeping with repentance." Soldiers and crowd members and tax collectors each ask about what that might specifically mean for them individually.  Of note, the answers are all different.  Discernment will be required for us.Admirably, they are expectant in their questions.  Let's too be ready in our watching, listening, smelling so that when He shows up we see, hear and find Him today.  Share this instagram.  Share this Facebook post.  Share the link: bewithme.us .

This deck has some insane aember burst: 4 off the Chant, but also likely from the Aembermancy. Growth Surge and/or Reap or Sow can combo with the Sporegorger to wipe the board, potentially triggering Keyfrog. And two copies of Thin the Herd can mop up board problems. And that's just Untamed! The Logos and Star Alliance are pretty okay, too. Getting Moray locked behind a Light-enhanced Chapman can be a big boost.

Sharon Jordan, managing director of Irish Travel Trade Network (ITTN) talks about the reopening of tourism in Ireland and the eventual return to international travel. Jordan has been at the fore of the travel industry for twenty years and last year took over ITTN.

They've been called The Passion Generation.  They're young adults between the ages of 25 and 40, known as Millennials, and they have many traits their elders find baffling.  Admirably, however, millennial young adults want to change the world, to do good, not just gain wealth for themselves, but meaningfully contribute to something that matters.

About an hour into our chat with Mac Gaugh, climber and owner of fledgling climbing apparel brand Creag, a dry microburst exploded and for a few minutes the wind did all the talking. At this point in 2020, you just kinda nod and acquiesce... Mac is certainly no stranger to microbursts unsheathing chaos and struggle. For the majority of his life he's fluctuated wildly between a cyclical loop of achievement and sabotage. Addiction crept into his life early, along with rock climbing. When sober he found himself crushing V12 boulder problems in the early 2000s, a time when that grade raised eyebrows. When surrendered to the chaos and alcohol and gambling, he bounced between homelessness and the liquidation of his aspirations. Eventually, through the hard work of rehabilitation and determination and the support of his family, Mac found himself sober and itching to do something of import. A total neophyte, he decided to launch a climbing apparel brand, from scratch. He had no idea what he was doing. With a mentor guiding him and some seed money in the coffer, Mac dove into the process of designing, sourcing, manufacturing, and marketing a technical clothing line, maneuvering along a ridiculous learning curve. He decided to make his products here at home, adding ironic complications to the entire process. Eventually, however, Creag coalesced into a tight collection of functional, technical, good-looking clothing built for his tribe, climbers and outdoor athletes. Finally, after years of work, Creag was ready to launch...in March 2020. The global coronavirus pandemic dropped like an albatross just as Mac was taking his product to market, all on notoriously competitive terrain where giants like Patagonia and Arc'teryx devour competitors. For months he navigated government assistance programs, rejected on various technicalities, although he represented an independent brand manufactured entirely in the United States while staffed almost entirely by climbers, from photographers to designers. Creag, vulnerable as all new things are, fluttered on the edge of oblivion. Admirably clean and sober in a time of extraordinary tribulation and entirely dedicated to saving his company, Mac is in the midst of a re-launch. He frames it as Creag's final push, against remarkable odds and historic calamities. Mac's story is a modern fable, a story of despair and determination and entrepreneurship in the midst of a grim history being written in real time. And like any fable's hero, he's charging into the maw, clear-eyed and with everything on the line. Got a question or pitch or good joke for the apocalypse?

What are you Reading? In recent months the Covid-19 has restricted many of our usual activities, and many of us have used some extra time by turning to “beach reads.” Considering the circumstances, I would say beach reads are the books that you can enjoy, even if you have no beach to rest your toes in.  You can always have something engaging to read. (P.S. I am not really a big beach reader) This week I talk about an assortment of books I have enjoyed over the years.  Please leave a comment about some books you have enjoyed this year. We can have a fun conversation about books. ~ KevinQuote: “Thanks to my reading, I have never been caught flat-footed by any situation, never at a loss for how any problem has been addressed (successfully or unsuccessfully) before. It doesn’t give me all the answers, but it lights what is often a dark path ahead.” ~ James Mattis A friend of mine pointed out that Call Sign Chaos by Mattis (and Bing West) includes the former Secretary of Defense’s recommended reading list.  This newsletter is the beginning of an ongoing collection of readings that I would suggest. In some future titles, I will do a more thorough dive on some additional readings, but this week we explore themes of failure and being quiet. The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well Is the Key to Success by Megan McArdle is a wonderful book that, as the title explains, shows that making a mistake is not always bad. The real mistake is failing to learn from the experience. McArdle's editorials often look at current economic events in a way that dissects the issues insightfully. In the same way, this book looks at everything from bankruptcy, business cycles, failed movies, criminal probation, and hospital diagnosis, to poor reporting. She makes a point that the US bankruptcy system compliments the social stigma of bankruptcy by a code that is less punitive than it is in some other countries. This, she believes, encourages risk-taking and entrepreneurship. She also cleverly points to past relationships and compares them to the GM bailout. Her underlying argument is that, in both cases, individuals were too guided by past achievements to understand changes around them. As McArdle points out, “A resilient society lets you fail, and even lets the failure sting, but only for a moment. Then it helps you get back on track, and everyone reaps the benefit.” Her insights are both honest and well-reasoned. Much like writers such as Gladwell and Taleb, she is willing to question conventional thinking in an insightful and approachable manner that is tangible. Admirably, she does not distance her own life from examples of personal and professional mistakes, and what she learned encourages all to look within themselves to help explain our world. These qualities make for an excellent read, and I look forward to diving into her next work. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain is a very well written and insightful book on the qualities of those who are quiet.  I certainly can relate to many of the traits described by Cain.  We live in an extroverted world that rarely relents from its cacophonous sounds.  She does not dispute that human beings engage in social activity, but that quiet expression can have a deeper meaning.  This can take the form of talking in a small group or taking time for quiet reflection. She does not, “think of introversion as something that needs to be cured.” Cain argues that society can often overvalue the contributions of extroverts while the work of introverts is less noticed.  The increased volume and charisma of extroverts can lead the public and managers to be drawn to these figures.  However, she states that individuals who are seen as charismatic are not necessarily more effective at professional tasks.  She claims that this social preference is a mistake because introverts can be more perceptive of certain social conditions.  They can also be creative and develop new ideas during moments of solitude.  I enjoyed many aspects of this book, including the illustrations and insights. I also have to credit Cain for my interest in further exploring this topic with readings on solitude and creativity.  My dissertation writing practices were an attempt at understanding this relationship.“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.” ~ Toni MorrisonNews: How math helps with COVID-19 testing: Nature TikTok and the response to possible restrictions in the US: Axios India back in lockdown:  Axios ….. I hope Caro finds out….. I wanted to pause and recognize the value of time spent reading.  Please feel free to share what books you have enjoyed lately in the comments.  As always, thank you for reading this newsletter.  It is fun to write, and I always appreciate the feedback please forward to friends. ~ Kevin Get on the email list at modlinglobal.substack.com

“We cannot get answers to questions that cannot be asked.” Lundy Braun's influential book, Breathing Race into the Machine: The Surprising Career of the Spirometer from Plantation to Genetics (University of Minnesota Press, 2014) documents the history and present-day use of an everyday medical instrument, the spirometer, which measures a person's lung capacity. The instrument has a long history, but since the 1970s, this common medical device has been built with a switch that forces users to choose: are these the lungs of a person who is Black or a person who is White? In its materiality, the instrument forces racialized and individualized answers to the question: What explains human variation? In doing so, the people who have imagined, built, and refined the instrument have foreclosed structural, political explanations of human difference—and in doing so, foreclosed the possibility of holding governments and corporations accountable, including in recent workers' compensation lawsuits. Lundy Braun tells the long history of this instrument as it passed between “knowledge networks” in the United Kingdom, United States, and South Africa within the contexts of medicine, law, and education. Admirably, Braun documents how and in what terms experts (unsuccessfully) questioned the spirometer's epistemic authority and its racialization, as well as how experts partnered with social justice groups to use the spirometer for liberatory ends. The book emphasizes the contexts of war and industrial labor, the importance of standardization, and, above all, the role of the spirometer in creating and maintaining the “white norm” in the body. Lundy Braun is Professor of Medical Science in Pathology and Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University. The interview was conducted collaboratively by Laura Stark [insert www.laura-stark.com] and students in her Vanderbilt seminar, History of Global Health: Omar Amir, Maggie Cox, Bryce Bailey, Donald Fitzgerald, Ashley Hunter, Jillian Jackson, Rohit Kamath, Zoe Mulraine, Liu Lanxi, Madison Noall, Catie O'Reilly, Isabella Schaffer, Katie Swift, Charlotte Whitfield, and Allie Yan.

“We cannot get answers to questions that cannot be asked.” Lundy Braun’s influential book, Breathing Race into the Machine: The Surprising Career of the Spirometer from Plantation to Genetics (University of Minnesota Press, 2014) documents the history and present-day use of an everyday medical instrument, the spirometer, which measures a person’s lung capacity. The instrument has a long history, but since the 1970s, this common medical device has been built with a switch that forces users to choose: are these the lungs of a person who is Black or a person who is White? In its materiality, the instrument forces racialized and individualized answers to the question: What explains human variation? In doing so, the people who have imagined, built, and refined the instrument have foreclosed structural, political explanations of human difference—and in doing so, foreclosed the possibility of holding governments and corporations accountable, including in recent workers’ compensation lawsuits. Lundy Braun tells the long history of this instrument as it passed between “knowledge networks” in the United Kingdom, United States, and South Africa within the contexts of medicine, law, and education. Admirably, Braun documents how and in what terms experts (unsuccessfully) questioned the spirometer’s epistemic authority and its racialization, as well as how experts partnered with social justice groups to use the spirometer for liberatory ends. The book emphasizes the contexts of war and industrial labor, the importance of standardization, and, above all, the role of the spirometer in creating and maintaining the “white norm” in the body. Lundy Braun is Professor of Medical Science in Pathology and Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University. The interview was conducted collaboratively by Laura Stark [insert www.laura-stark.com] and students in her Vanderbilt seminar, History of Global Health: Omar Amir, Maggie Cox, Bryce Bailey, Donald Fitzgerald, Ashley Hunter, Jillian Jackson, Rohit Kamath, Zoe Mulraine, Liu Lanxi, Madison Noall, Catie O’Reilly, Isabella Schaffer, Katie Swift, Charlotte Whitfield, and Allie Yan.

Straight out of the comment threads and into your eardrums, Podcasting of Age is a lovingly obsessive fan podcast dedicated to the webcomic Dumbing of Age by David Willis. Today, Emperor Norton II and Cerberus avoid the dark sarcasm in the classroom to discuss Jason and how he's the perfect teacher... that is to say, the perfect example of everything you can possibly do wrong as a teacher.

Some 21 years ago Betsy Andreu was hit by one of life's strange curveballs that has affected her and her family's lives ever since. We wanted to find out what Betsy's up to now (and if she ever decided to get herself a smartphone). Admirably, she is hard at work to promote anti-doping with young athletes.

Green chemistry needs new asymmetric reactions and safer, more environmental Mitsunobu reactions. The Mitsunobu mechanism is general and reliable, but atom inefficient, generating almost 30 times as much weight of by-products as of the water it is designed to eliminate. Admirably green processes include autoxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using only O2, and oxidation of alcohols by loss of H2 using a ruthenium catalyst. Relative pKa values of carboxylic acids provide insight into the role of inductive and resonance effects in organic transformations. One analysis suggests that the special acidity of carboxylic acids owes four times as much to inductive as to resonance effects. Carboxylic acids can be prepared both by oxidation and by reduction. Complete course materials are available at the Open Yale Courses website: http://oyc.yale.edu This course was recorded in Spring 2011.
