In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Dr. Humberto Boncristiani, bee biologist, educator, and founder of InsideTheHive.TV. Humberto shares his compelling journey from growing up with Africanized bees in Brazil to becoming a leading voice in honey bee health research and education. He discusses how his scientific work—ranging from virology to applied honey bee biology—supports commercial beekeepers and emerging technologies. With clients like Dalan Animal Health and ToBe, Humberto helps test products, troubleshoot colony problems, and translate observational knowledge into measurable outcomes. He also explains the challenges of bringing new products to market in the beekeeping industry, where trust and credibility matter more than flashy marketing. Beyond consulting, Humberto is known for his widely respected YouTube channel and free newsletter. He breaks down complex research into accessible language, helping beekeepers worldwide better understand the science behind their bees. His unique “Inside the Hive Academy” offers training in scientific thinking and evidence-based decision-making for those wanting to go deeper. Whether you're a backyard beginner or managing thousands of colonies, Humberto's message is clear: listen to your bees, challenge assumptions, and never stop learning.

In this episode of Honey Bee Obscura, Jim Tew welcomes special guests Rosario Candelero, a veterinary student at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and Jason Ferrell, a beekeeper and IT specialist. Together, they explore how beekeeping in Mexico differs from practices in the United States. Rosario shares insights from her veterinary training, where bee health is treated as part of veterinary medicine, not entomology. She describes common honey bee diseases in Mexico, including Varroa, American foulbrood, chalkbrood, and the rarer stonebrood. Jim and Rosario discuss how Mexican beekeepers adapt to managing defensive bees descended from Africanized honey bees, balancing challenges with the country's strong honey production industry. The conversation also touches on the traditional Melipona stingless bees, their cultural importance, and their distinct honey properties. With Rosario preparing for advanced bee health courses, Jim looks forward to following her journey toward becoming a veterinary advocate for honey bees. It's a fascinating look at beekeeping across borders and the critical role veterinarians play in supporting healthy colonies. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

In this podcast, we spoke with Felipe Mendes from Brazil. Felipe is an arboreal and biodynamic beekeeper and consultant, pioneering innovative approaches to animal stewardship through the use of TreeNests (log hives). He works with Apis mellifera scutellata hybrids (Africanized bees) and has collaborated with the Landless Workers' Movement (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra - MST) in Brazil, a social movement that occupies unused farmland to promote sustainable agriculture and economic self-sufficiency.
In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome back Dara Scott, founder and managing director of HiveAlive, to dive deeper into his unique beekeeping practices in Ireland. Building on his previous appearance, Dara shares insights into his queen management program, the benefits of working with Apis mellifera mellifera, and how Ireland's challenging weather influences beekeeping strategies. Dara discusses his transition to using smaller hive boxes and foundationless frames, the impact of locally adapted queens, and his innovative approach to overwintering multiple queens in a single hive stack. He also highlights the challenges and advantages of working with native Irish honey bees, including their frugality and ability to thrive in less-than-ideal conditions. This episode also includes an audio postcard from Dr. Dewey Caron, who provides fascinating insights into Africanized honey bees and their management. Drawing from his experience in South America, Dr. Caron shares observations on the adaptations, challenges, and opportunities presented by these unique honey bees, offering valuable lessons for beekeepers everywhere. Join us as we explore the nuances of beekeeping across the Atlantic and gain inspiration from Dara's approach to creating resilient and productive colonies. Listen Today!

Two swarms of Africanized Honeybees (AHB) have been found in Alabama in Jackson and St. Clair counties, according to the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries (ADAI). Local beekeepers collected and euthanized the swarms to protect Alabama's native honeybees. ADAI then set traps within a 5-mile radius of the discovery sites to trap and identify any remnants. In addition, ADAI has notified all beekeepers in the infiltrated area to be on the lookout for any additional feral bees. Beekeepers have been trained on how to identify and manage AHB and to report suspicious bee activity. The goal is to protect...Article Link

We continue #disastuary with 1978's THE BEES, a movie that explores the imminent threat of Africanized bees smuggled into the United States by Big Honey and the wacky world of the scientists that study them. While most movies are made to appeal to specific audiences, we're not sure who this movie was made for. Was it made for Bee scientists? Was it made for disaster movie fans? Was it made for environmentalists? Was it made for people who want to enjoy the peace and quiet of enjoying a donut in a public restroom? We aren't sure. We also aren't sure of the proper pronunciation of the word, "swarm". Please help.
The Africanized honey bee has earned itself the nickname of ‘the killer bee', but how much truth is there to the suggestion that the species was created by an experiment gone wrong? Joining Jonathan to discuss this is Mark L. Winston, Professor Emeritus and Senior Fellow at the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University, in British Columbia, Canada. Catherine McGuinness, Zoologist and Educator & Dr Jessamyn Fairfield, University of Galway physicist join us to go through the top science stories from the week in Newsround.

This week I talked to Ruth Askren and Phoebe Piper, owners of the beekeeping company Hive Tribe. Hive Tribe has established and maintained 25 active beekeeping sites throughout LA and Ventura county, working with a variety of estates and celebrity clients. But before we sat down to talk, Ruth and Phoebe gave me a taste of their sweet lifestyle by letting me don the beekeeping suit myself. On a warm spring day, I headed down to Malibu and visited the pair at their hillside operation. There, I helped separate bee boxes to check on the different colonies' health and the progress of their hives. I watched through my mesh helmet as they monitored white wax, checked for pollen, and looked at the honey on the outside of the young hives. Amongst the seaside flowers and scent of salty ocean breeze, I found that there were few better ways to spend the day than beekeeping in Malibu. Yet, before Ruth & Phoebe maintained hives for a living, this was just a hobby for Ruth. And before that…she didn't work with bees at all. Her day job was teaching art at a private prep school. But let's dive into this winding, up hill journey through SoCal and remember that it is never too late to find wonder in your life. Sometimes a new source of excitement is wedged between the tiles on the roof, waiting to be found.

Pollinator health is vital to most of the crops we produce and the food we eat. For today's show, we're focusing on bee health. Sabrina talks with Barbara Bar-Imhoff with the Center for Integrative Bee Research about the latest findings in bee health. We talk about Africanized bees, varroa mites, and more.
What is it like to keep Africanized bees? Is it still fun working with bees when they're so aggressive? Can you cross-breed Africanized bees with European bees to get a more docile bee? In this episode I talk about Africanized bees and how they're different from European honey bees as well as my conversation with Laryssa, a beekeeper in Texas who keeps Africanized bees, teaches beekeeping and does numerous cutouts removing wild hives from people's homes where he doesn't know what the temper of the hive will be until he gets there. Talk begins at 14:47. Want to learn more about bees and how you can help them? Sign up for our online class, Intro to Bees & Beekeeping. We'll teach you all about the hive, how to make a pollinator garden and other ways you can help the bees. Learn more at www.beekeepingmadesimple.com

更多英语知识,请关注微信公众号: VOA英语每日一听 Todd: So Abidemi, you're from Nigeria. Can you talk a little bit about the music scene in your country?Abidemi: Yes. Nigeria is just amazing now in terms of music and even in the past we've had and we still do have great music, great musicians. We love to party just as much as we love to eat, there's nothing that Nigerians loves more than parties. We love to have a good time. So of course, music plays an important role in that. One of the music that we have now is like fusion. A mix of old traditional Nigerian music and instruments with more Western Hip Hop, R&B kind of sound and even reggae and Jamaican music and some Spanish too mixing with it.Todd: Oh wow, that sounds like a nice mix.Abidemi: It is actually and because we love to dance as well, it's something that you can move your body to, you can dance to, and also some ballads as well, that makes people think. In the past, Nigerian artists were either they sang traditional songs which they sang in the languages that we had in Nigeria or they sang in English for the most part because we do have many languages. So if you want to reach a wider audience, you needed to sing in English. But these days the interesting thing is many people are mixing.Todd: Oh, nice.Abidemi: They will sing a little bit in English as well as in their ... mostly in their native language which makes for very interesting mixes because then people that do understand that language, it attracts them to it. And it becomes more our own thing in our own country.Todd: So what are the languages that are mixed with English?Abidemi: For example in my region, I speak Yoruba, so Yoruba, they use a lot of Yoruba. They use Igbo language too, it's from the southeastern part of Nigeria. And there's also Pidgin, Pidgin is a kind of ... it's Nigerian English or ... I know in other parts of west Africa they use Pidgin as well. But it's more like slangy English, I would say. So there's a mixture of that. So the music becomes more Africanized, Nigerianized, if that's a word. So it makes it much more our own thing and people enjoy it. Yeah, and it's really good. So new artists now, they're doing that and one of the results of that is it's more accessible actually to people that are not Nigerians. So a lot of people download Nigerian music from YouTube. For example, there's D'Banj. He's an artist that's gone over to the United States and he sings with Kanye.Todd: Oh, wow!Abidemi: Yeah, and some big top Hip Hop artist in the United States. There was a guy who they used one of his songs in one of the American - Black American movies in the States as well.Todd: Oh, cool!Abidemi: And he got a lot of exposure through that. So our artist are, yeah, they become more more famous it seems like. And they're leading other areas of Africa too.Todd: Well I'll be sure to put some YouTube clips up with the interview so people can check it out.Abidemi: Please do.

I know in other parts of west Africa they use Pidgin as well. But it's more like slangy English, I would say. So there's a mixture of that. So the music becomes more Africanized, Nigerianized, if that's a word. So it makes it much more our own thing and people enjoy it. Yeah, and it's really good. So new artists now, they're doing that and one of the results of that is it's more accessible actually to people that are not Nigerians. So a lot of people download Nigerian music from YouTube. For example, there's D'Banj. He's an artist that's gone over to the United States and he sings with Kanye.Todd: Oh, wow!Abidemi: Yeah, and some big top Hip Hop artist in the United States. There was a guy who they used one of his songs in one of the American - Black American movies in the States as well.Todd: Oh, cool!Abidemi: And he got a lot of exposure through that. So our artist are, yeah, they become more more famous it seems like. And they're leading other areas of Africa too.Todd: Well I'll be sure to put some YouTube clips up with the interview so people can check it out.Abidemi: Please do.
更多英语知识,请关注微信公众号: VOA英语每日一听 Todd: So Abidemi, you're from Nigeria. Can you talk a little bit about the music scene in your country?Abidemi: Yes. Nigeria is just amazing now in terms of music and even in the past we've had and we still do have great music, great musicians. We love to party just as much as we love to eat, there's nothing that Nigerians loves more than parties. We love to have a good time. So of course, music plays an important role in that. One of the music that we have now is like fusion. A mix of old traditional Nigerian music and instruments with more Western Hip Hop, R&B kind of sound and even reggae and Jamaican music and some Spanish too mixing with it.Todd: Oh wow, that sounds like a nice mix.Abidemi: It is actually and because we love to dance as well, it's something that you can move your body to, you can dance to, and also some ballads as well, that makes people think. In the past, Nigerian artists were either they sang traditional songs which they sang in the languages that we had in Nigeria or they sang in English for the most part because we do have many languages. So if you want to reach a wider audience, you needed to sing in English. But these days the interesting thing is many people are mixing.Todd: Oh, nice.Abidemi: They will sing a little bit in English as well as in their ... mostly in their native language which makes for very interesting mixes because then people that do understand that language, it attracts them to it. And it becomes more our own thing in our own country.Todd: So what are the languages that are mixed with English?Abidemi: For example in my region, I speak Yoruba, so Yoruba, they use a lot of Yoruba. They use Igbo language too, it's from the southeastern part of Nigeria. And there's also Pidgin, Pidgin is a kind of ... it's Nigerian English or ... I know in other parts of west Africa they use Pidgin as well. But it's more like slangy English, I would say. So there's a mixture of that.

Welcome Amy Vu and Dr. JC Rodriguez! We discuss the Asian Giant Hornet “murder hornet” with Amy, Extension coordinator for the Honey Bee Research and Extension Lab (HBREL) @ UF, and Dr. JC Rodriguez, appreciated member of our staff. Amy and JC are both passionate about bees, both started their bee keeping journey during college. JC shares with us his experience handling Africanized “killer” bees, and the bad reputation around these bees and any other bees named “killer” or “murder.”It is important to emphasize that everyone will experience a different reaction to any insect. The safest is to keep your distance form any stinging insect. Amy shares about two (2) types of Asian hornets(1) Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia): Also known as “murder hornet”(2) Asian hornet (Vespa velutina): NOT present in the USAAsian giant hornet first appearance was at the end of 2019. A press release was issued to report on the findings on a small area of Washington State. During the moths of March/April, coming out of the winter, 2 species were found dead.No one is 100% sure on how this specie reached the continental US, but it is believed that a queen bee was transported by a cargo ship. The Washington State Department of Agriculture has put compiled comprehensive material on the Giant Asian Hornet, how to identify it and its differences from other similar looking hornets. The Asian Giant Hornet preys on more insects than just honey bees, this kind of hornet can cause harm to other pollinators as well. Please, keep a safe distance form any stinging insect. Snap a picture if possible, that is the best proof to identify species.

In this episode we discuss available resources and beekeeping journals by editors around the country: Eugene Makovec, the editor of American Bee Journal, and Jerry Hayes, the editor of Bee Culture (who has a little surprise for our podcast listeners!). We end the episode with these Q&A questions: Why doesn’t the Africanized honey bee gene pool get watered down? Is checking a hive once a week (or more) bad for the colony? What to do about swarms?

Today, 2/25/2020, we pay homage to the late great James Brown... James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer, songwriter, dancer, musician, record producer and bandleader. A progenitor of funk music and a major figure of 20th century music and dance, he is often referred to as the "Godfather of Soul" and "Soul Brother No. 1".[1] In a career that lasted over 50 years, he influenced the development of several music genres.[2] Brown began his career as a gospel singer in Toccoa, Georgia.[3] He joined a rhythm and blues vocal group, the Gospel Starlighters (which later evolved into the Famous Flames) founded by Bobby Byrd, in which he was the lead singer.[4][5] First coming to national public attention in the late 1950s as a member of the singing group The Famous Flames with the hit ballads "Please, Please, Please" and "Try Me", Brown built a reputation as a tireless live performer with the Famous Flames and his backing band, sometimes known as the James Brown Band or the James Brown Orchestra. His success peaked in the 1960s with the live album Live at the Apollo and hit singles such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World". During the late 1960s, Brown moved from a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly "Africanized" approach to music-making that influenced the development of funk music.[6] By the early 1970s, Brown had fully established the funk sound after the formation of the J.B.s with records such as "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine" and "The Payback". He also became noted for songs of social commentary, including the 1968 hit "Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud". Brown continued to perform and record until his death from pneumonia in 2006. Brown recorded 17 singles that reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B charts.[7][8] He also holds the record for the most singles listed on the BillboardHot 100 chart which did not reach No. 1.[9][10] Brown was inducted into 1st class of the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2013 as an artist and then in 2017 as a songwriter. He also received honors from many other institutions, including inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame.[11] In Joel Whitburn's analysis of the Billboard R&B charts from 1942 to 2010, Brown is ranked No. 1 in The Top 500 Artists.[12] He is ranked No. 7 on Rolling Stone's list of its 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Rolling Stone has also cited Brown as the most sampledartist of all time.[13][14] #29DaysOfBlackHistory *Putting People On Game does not own any rights to this music or images* Hit us up or send us a text 214-744-3601!

Bees? Bees! But not just any bees. The hybrid subspecies of Africanized honey bee was created in Brazil. Scientists were hoping for gentle honey-providers but got territorial aggressors instead.
Jeb Card and Blake Smith discuss the In Search Of episode: KILLER BEES. Will aggressive Africanized honey bees destroy the world? Is every problem a metaphor for colonialism? Tune in and find out! Watch episode on YouTube I've attached some relevant articles from the time, one on bees and one on ISO. Also, I've set the episode to "Explicit" because of all the sexy, sexy bee talk. Radioactive Wasps (Correction: Location was at HANFORD not HANSON site - corrected here, but I'm not cutting out my joke about Hanson. -B) Jeb mentioned Japanese Giant Wasps - those are described here. (They're wasps, only giant - and from Japan. That's good marketing in the name.) Jeb was right to bring this beastie up in conjunction with bees. From the Wikipedia article: In Japan, beekeepers often prefer European honey bees because they are more productive than the endemic Japanese honey bees.[citation needed] However, it can be difficult to maintain a captive hive of European honey bees, as the giant hornets are devastating to the bee hives.[citation needed] Once a Japanese giant hornet has located a hive of European honey bees, it leaves pheromone markers around it that quickly attract nest-mates to converge on the hive. An individual hornet can kill forty European honey bees per minute, while a group of 30 hornets can destroy an entire hive containing 30,000 bees in less than four hours.[4] The hornets kill and dismember the bees, returning to their nest with the bee thoraxes, which they feed to their larvae, leaving heads and limbs behind. The honey and bee larvae are also taken to feed the hornet larvae. Another correction - I think I called them "hornet killers" or something similarly stupid, but I was talking about the very large American "Cicada Killer" wasps. But that's not what Jeb was talking about (see above). The Cicada Killer is big enough to - you guessed it - kill a cicada. They're not as insanely beefy as the Japanese hornets, but they're big beefy units.

Agriculture is one of Louisiana's major industries. But while we know a lot about the rice, sugar cane and cattle farms around the state, there are other types of farms and aspects of farming you may not be so familiar with. For example, bees and crickets! David Fluker is a second gerneration cricket farmer. David owns and operates Fluker Farms, a Port Allen based family farm company that grows live crickets and sells literally millions of live crickets very year to customers around the country. These crickets are traditionally fed to pets. But Fluker Farms is changing that. They're moving into breeding and selling crickets for human consumption. Bob Danka is a research leader and research entomologist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Baton Rouge Bee Lab, who specializes in the behavior and management of Africanized honey bees, honey bee behavior related to crop pollination, and the genetically based resistance of bees to mites, which as you may know, are very bad for the bee population. Bob has been working in this field since the late 1970s and is stationed at the Baton Rouge Bee Station, one of the Capital Region's best-kept screts.

Today's conversation was all about the bees! Fred Hollen, a VA Master Beekeeper with Shenandoah Valley Beekeepers Association drove over to the station from Waynesboro, VA to chat for a bit and educate me on all the bee things. We talked about the average life cycle of a honey bee; got some beekeeper tips; learned about the important role bees/pollinators play in our everyday lives and so much more. So much, in fact, that we had to continue our conversation after we ran out of time on the air. In that segment, we talked about the origination of Africanized bees, common issues new beekeepers encounter, and I learned that you can buy a queen bee! Who knew? Find more information about the Shenandoah Valley Beekeepers Association on their website: http://shenvalleybeekeepers.org/, click here to follow them on Facebook. If you're interested in taking Fred's beekeeping class at Blue Ridge Community College, click here for the details. About The Shenandoah Valley Beekeepers Association The Shenandoah Valley Beekeepers Association was founded in 1982 and exists to serve its members, the local community, and the honeybee for which humans are dependent. The club promotes the keeping of honeybees in order to increase the local honeybee population. They provide a meeting place or activity each month for the dissemination and sharing of beekeeping information and offer an extensive library of beekeeping books and DVD's to members. SVBA also manages local apiaries for educational and queen-rearing purposes; and, provides honeybee removal from buildings and swarm collection services. They also provide educational honeybee demonstrations to schools and other organizations. During the show, I referenced a previous guest, Rick Copeland with Misty Mountain Meadworks.

Bee venom is similar to a rattlesnake’s. It rapidly disperses in your tissue, and when you’re stung, the pain you feel is a combination of proteins and peptides attacking your cell membranes. Each sting contains enough venom to incapacitate a small mouse, but bees won’t really hurt you unless you’re allergic. Or at least, that’s what you thought until you disturbed a hive of Africanized bees, which have been known to chase attackers for more than ten hours.

Kelly: This is Part 2 of my interview with Glenn Blackwood, who was a member of the “Killer Bees”. This wasn’t the much feared Africanized bees, rather it was the equally feared defense of the Miami Dolphins in the early 80s. Greetings! This is Kelly Coughlin. Voiceover: Kelly Coughlin is CEO of BankBosun, a management consulting firm helping bank C-Level Officers navigate risk and discover reward. He is the host of the syndicated audio podcast, BankBosun.com. Kelly brings over 25 years of experience with companies like PWC, Lloyds Bank, and Merrill Lynch. On the podcast, Kelly interviews key executives in the banking ecosystem to provide bank C-Suite officers, risk management, technology, and investment ideas and solutions to help them navigate risks and discover rewards. And now, your host, Kelly Coughlin. Kelly: Hello! This is Kelly Coughlin, CEO of BankBosun and program host. This is the second in a two-part interview series with Glenn Blackwood, a former NFL safety for 10 years with the Miami Dolphins and a current 25-year executive, board member and principal in the bank-owned life insurance industry with Equias Alliance. In Part 1, I talked with Glenn about some of his experiences in the NFL and how his ability to face competition, sometimes quiet fearfully enabled him to have quite a successful career in the NFL and with the Dolphins and ultimately in business. Glenn was coached by Don Shula, who instilled two things in his players: competition and integrity. Glenn said that Shula instilled in them the concept that winning wasn’t the only thing but winning with integrity was the only thing. And because of this, Glenn has become a very successful businessman. I think Lombardi said, “Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.” Well, that might work well on the gridiron but in the boardroom, integrity is equally important and as fierce a competitor as Glenn was and is now; he is equally fierce in his adherence to good business ethics and a high level of integrity. In Part 2, we will talk about how Glenn works in the bank-owned life insurance business and why he is so successful with his clients and why his clients truly like working with him. So Glenn, what’s your approach to helping community banks compete and succeed in this environment where risk, regulation and revenue creation can be so challenging? Glenn: Glad to be visiting with you. So the community bank has a niche that it fills in the ecosystem of banking, and I think the biggest battle with community banks is the regulatory environment they are having to deal with. They don’t have the scale that the big guys have to absorb it and it is a very difficult task for a community bank and this is just listening to all of my clients. And as you mentioned, I’ve worked probably 150 community banks in the southeast. And I stay in very, very close touch with those banks and it’s a common thing that their biggest battle right now is the regulatory burden that’s on them and the cost that it hits on them on an ongoing basis. And it’s very hard to get return to the shareholders, and I think that’s the biggest challenge they face. Our goal and the way I’ve looked at it is I want to be an ally to them in helping them be able to be as successful as they can and one of the ways we do that – there are two primary ways. One is helping them manage benefit expense. That’s the BOLI asset. And then, understanding when you put that on your balance sheet, there’s a lot more that goes into that than just sticking an asset on your balance sheet, which most bankers fully understand because there’s a regulatory issue, an accounting issue, a legal issue, etc. And the other piece of it is helping them to put in programs that allows them to retain, reward and ultimately retire their key executives. They’re called top hat or deferred compensation SERP plans, things like that. And they’re there for a reason. A lot of people say, “Oh that’s just another perk for these highly paid executives.” But the reality is, it’s not another perk. It’s getting them to a level playing field due to the restrictions that are imposed upon what’s deemed to be highly compensated, which is anybody making over, basically $120,000. They can’t put enough aside in their retirement plans due to these ERISA and IRS limitations on both social security and qualified plans. So allowing them to have a meaningful retirement benefit that’s commensurate with what they’re doing for everybody else in the rank and file. One banker called it, it’s good parenting. And then the other piece of it is that you use those programs to retain those executives. Because they’re non-qualified, you can structure the vesting in a way that allows you to say, “Look, if you stay here Mr. or Mrs. Executive until a certain date, then you get this benefit, but if you leave, you leave it behind.” So now, you’re doing something that’s balancing the playing field for them in benefits, but you’re also hooking them to the bank so that if they walk away, then they’re going to walk away from that benefit then there is economic pain for that. And that usually provides the deterrent for them going to greener pastures. Kelly: Curious about in a bank-owned life insurance business, you mentioned there’s a lot of moving parts there, and that’s what you liked about it. You’ve got the legal part; you’ve got the accounting part; you got the insurance part; you got the investment part; you got all sorts of components there. But simplifying the message in a sales process has got to be critical to any sort of complex financial sale. What’s your approach to simplifying the sales message? Not trying to be the smartest guy in the room, but trying to be the guy that simplifies the message, because I know you’re good at it. I’ve heard you. I’ve heard you talk, so I know you’re quite good at that. Glenn: I think the main thing for me is I want to be honest, especially if I’m working with a board. I want to be honest about what I’m laying out for them and I want to, I call it bringing all the skeletons out of the closet. I want to bring all the bones out. I want to lay it out there so they can understand their risk and understand the benefits that come with it as well. And then also understand what does it entail on an ongoing basis with these programs and whether you’re just putting BOLI in or whether you’re putting BOLI and benefits in. There’s a lot of hair that comes on that stuff and you got to identify what that is and show them how those risks can be managed. I try to condense it down at the end of the day, if I’m speaking with a comp committee or board, what’s the benefit to the bank; what’s the benefit to the executive team and then what are the risks that they’re going to need to address as they put these programs in place. Understanding that we are going to shepherd them through this process. We’re going to work with their accounting firm. We’re going to work with their legal counsel. We’re going to help them document it all from a regulatory standpoint. Which by the way is very important, the words that I used there “help them,” document it. There’s a lot a people out there that says, “Look, we’ll do all your regulatory documentation for you.” And that’s not a good answer. The good answer is, We’ll “assist you” through that process. We’re good at it. We know what you need to have answered. But their bank needs to have their fingerprint all over that documentation. The regulators don’t want to know that we know what you did. They want to know that the bank knows what it did. And so, it’s really critical to let them know, we’re going to shepherd them through that process and make sure it’s done in a way that they’re not going to have criticism from their examiners. And I can tell you that one of the things when you look back at our company, we’ve operated under the endorsement of the American Bankers Association and a number of states banking associations down in – Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee and so on and so forth, California. But with all of that and part of the reason that we’ve able to get those endorsements is that we are extremely thorough in what we do from a documentation and expertise standpoint. And I always look back, I had a bank that I was working with and they basically said, “Why should we work with you?” I looked at this man and I said, “I’m going to give you four numbers and I’m going to tell you here’s why you should work with me.” And I said, “Number one is 26, number two is 150, number three is 99.9 and number four is 46. And here is what those numbers mean.” I said, “The first one is 26 and that’s the number of years I’ve worked in this industry in the region that you’re in… in the South East; 26 years I’ve worked down here. Number two is 150. That’s the number of banks that I’ve worked with. You don’t work with that number of banks and have done a shoddy job; there’s consistency there. Number three, 99.9; that’s the persistency I’ve had with the clients that I’ve had. We don’t lose clients. We don’t lose them because we’re very good at what we do and we pay attention to details. And then, the least and the last thing, the number 46. That was the number BOLI consultants that I’ve watched over my 26 years come and go out of this business. And that’s the reality. That’s not to be a knock on anybody else. It’s just the reality that you look for people that are committed long-term, to being able to not only take care of you but that long-term track record speaks to consistency and the knowledge of the market and knowledge of the product. So that’s kind of what I communicate with our banks. Let you understand what the benefit is to you, what your risks are and what we’re going to do to walk alongside you to make sure we manage those so that you don’t have a headache on an ongoing basis. And I think our track records speaks for itself and we engage the CPA’s. We engage the attorneys, because we know what we’re doing is valuable and we know that working with them in partnership as advisors to the bank is going to make it a seamless process. So that’s basically what I do. Kelly: You guys won a few games down in Miami. I did a rough count before this interview. You won about 114 games and lost 58. You were 11 times in the playoffs, and went to the Super Bowl twice. So guys you knew how to win. How did that help you in this business? Glenn: One of the things that we were talking about earlier and I look back, I think why did you all win a lot down in Miami. And one of the things was that we were prepared. We were very well-prepared for the game. That speaks to our overall organization and primarily Don Shula preparing us. We were very well-prepared for the game. And then once you got past that team-wise, I had to look at it individually and I had to know what my responsibility was in the process. But for me, I also had to know the responsibilities of others. As I talked about earlier, I had to know about the linebackers and linemen and the cornerbacks were doing and then coordinate all of that. And it’s the same process working with a bank. I’ve got to understand what the challenges are that the accounting firms have in working with their bank clients and the legal counsel; and the CFO having to do the regulatory documentation and the board, making sure they’ve asked all the right questions. And that’s another thing, we try to ask questions for them. We want to turn over every rock so that they don’t have anything exposed. And then do what you say you’ll do. If you tell somebody you’re going to do something, then do it. And that’s the way our whole operation runs. We’re going to do what we say we’re going to do. And if we can’t get there because sometimes glitches come up, communicate with the bank immediately, let them know the time frame. And then the last thing, and this was Coach Shula’s mantra, was you operate with integrity. I remember for almost nine years in a row and we were the least penalized team in the NFL, and we were the least penalized because Coach Shula said, “You don’t just do it. You do it right, and you do it the right way. And winning isn’t the only thing. Winning with integrity is what matters.” And I believe that’s the same way that we’ve operated as a company and certainly in my operation down here in the Southeast. I’ve always told my kids, “You never go wrong by doing right. And that’s the way we try and operate.” Kelly: Glenn, what type of bank should contact you? What do you look for? Where is your sweet spot with banks? I know you’ve got a geographic focus down in Florida. Glenn: Kind of that southeast quadrant.. typically, that bank that’s got a regional focus and has some programs in place that either retain or reward their key executives or that they want to make sure that they’re putting BOLI assets on their balance sheet in a way that’s not going to be a headache for them on a go-forward basis. Kelly: I then asked Glenn, what was the dumbest thing he’s ever done in his business career, recall in Part 1 he talked about his worst play…whiffed on tight end who went in for the score. So I asked him in his business career what was the dumbest thing he’s ever done and we’re going to finish with that. Glenn: This was kind of stupid. I was doing a board meeting for a bank and I was doing the presentation and it was back on a projector back then because we didn’t have the equipment, the technology we have now. And I had a chair right there, I put my foot up on the chair, and I got finished with the presentation. I walked out and there was a rest room right to the left and I needed to use the restroom so I went in the rest room. And as I was preparing to go to the rest room, I realized I didn’t have to unzip my zipper and I thought, “Oh my gosh! It must have been down during the whole board presentation.” And so, the head of the comp. committee came out, which was a lady, a very nice lady, very pleasant, and she said, “Great job on everything! You answered our questions, blah-blah-blah, and I said, “Nancy, can I ask you a question? Was my zipper down during that presentation?” She said, “The whole embarrassing moment,” but we still got the deal done. Kelly: Very good job! Well that is terrific! I think with that, we’ll sign off. Glenn, I want to thank you again for your time and I look forward to talking to you again. Glenn: It is my pleasure. Thank you. Kelly: Okay. Great.

Michael Ross offers the first full account of the June 1870 abduction of seventeen-month-old Mollie Digby, an incident that electrified the South at one of the most critical moments in the history of American race relations.Mollie was kidnapped from in front of her home in New Orleans. This was at the height of the Reconstruction, and race tensions were high. Nervous white residents fearing impending chaos pointed to the Digby abduction as proof that no white child was safe now that slavery had ended and the South had been "Africanized."

Today in the podcast, Abidemi talks about the music scene in Nigeria. Go to elllo.org for the full lesson. Transcript of the audio: Todd: So Abidemi, you're from Nigeria. Can you talk a little bit about the music scene in your country? Abidemi: Yes. Nigeria is just amazing now in terms of music and even in the past we’ve had and we still do have great music, great musicians. We love to party just as much as we love to eat, there's nothing that Nigerians loves more than parties. We love to have a good time. So of course, music plays an important role in that. One of the music that we have now is like fusion. A mix of old traditional Nigerian music and instruments with more Western Hip Hop, R&B kind of sound and even reggae and Jamaican music and some Spanish too mixing with it. Todd: Oh wow, that sounds like a nice mix. Abidemi: It is actually and because we love to dance as well, it's something that you can move your body to, you can dance to, and also some ballads as well, that makes people think. In the past, Nigerian artists were either they sang traditional songs which they sang in the languages that we had in Nigeria or they sang in English for the most part because we do have many languages. So if you want to reach a wider audience, you needed to sing in English. But these days the interesting thing is many people are mixing. Todd: Oh, nice. Abidemi: They will sing a little bit in English as well as in their ... mostly in their native language which makes for very interesting mixes because then people that do understand that language, it attracts them to it. And it becomes more our own thing in our own country. Todd: So what are the languages that are mixed with English? Abidemi: For example in my region, I speak Yoruba, so Yoruba, they use a lot of Yoruba. They use Igbo language too, it’s from the southeastern part of Nigeria. And there’s also Pidgin, Pidgin is a kind of ... it's Nigerian English or ... I know in other parts of west Africa they use Pidgin as well. But it’s more like slangy English, I would say. So there's a mixture of that. So the music becomes more Africanized, Nigerianized, if that’s a word. So it makes it much more our own thing and people enjoy it. Yeah, and it’s really good. So new artists now, they’re doing that and one of the results of that is it’s more accessible actually to people that are not Nigerians. So a lot of people download Nigerian music from YouTube. For example, there’s D'Banj. He’s an artist that’s gone over to the United States and he sings with Kanye. Todd: Oh, wow! Abidemi: Yeah, and some big top Hip Hop artist in the United States. There was a guy who they used one of his songs in one of the American - Black American movies in the States as well. Todd: Oh, cool! Abidemi: And he got a lot of exposure through that. So our artist are, yeah, they become more more famous it seems like. And they're leading other areas of Africa too. Todd: Well I’ll be sure to put some YouTube clips up with the interview so people can check it out. Abidemi: Please do.
