Without a lot of fanfare in the early 1980s a fledgling cable channel called MTV launched in New Jersey. No one knew it at the time but it was the start of something big, a sea change in American society that would break the big traditional values of the 50s and 60s down into specialized, bite sized chunks ready to be gobbled up by enthusiasts, fanboys and hop heads for the next several decades. At the same time microbreweries were steadily growing in popularity from a niche interest into a national powerhouse that only continues to expand to this day. But does all this specialization just mean more fun for everybody? Or does it come at a cost?Joining us on this episode are Theresa McCulla, curator of the American brewing history initiative at the National Museum of American History, and Alan Newman, co-founder of Magic Hat Brewing in Burlington, VT. We're also joined by the one and only Colin Connor who's nice enough to add a little pizzazz to the landmark 1995 essay “Bowling Alone” by Robert Putnam.———————————————— Please SUBSCRIBE and RATE the show if you can.

Alan Newman joins WVMT's The Morning Drive to talk about his "serial entrepreneurship", learning from failure, and what he is creating as the new owner of ArtsRiot in Burlington.
Alan Newman doesn't really have hobbies---if he did, it would be to continually start new companies! Alan is the real deal. He is a serial entrepreneur, part of a rare breed of risk-takers who start up companies as often as they have new ideas. He's started dozens of successful businesses and he seems to have a gift for picking the next new hot markets. Alan founded the burgeoning mail-order Gardener's Supply Company, he co-founded the incredibly popular eco-friendly Seventh Generation line of home products and then he launched a successful micro beer biz as that industry was taking off, the Magic Hat Brewing Company. And the list of companies he creates goes on still today! This episode is compelling not only because of Alan Newman's long list of accomplishments, but also because it's about the man himself. He's brilliant, self-effacing and enjoys chaos, knowing how to find his way through it. (You've also need to listen to see who wins the battle of the sarcastic old Jews this week.) Never bet against a genius dude in a giant white beard from Vermont! • For more about Alan Newman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Newman_(entrepreneur) • Alan Newman's Appearance on "How I Built This": https://www.npr.org/2021/01/22/959614771/seventh-generation-alan-newman-and-jeffrey-hollender • Episode Content: https://pickleballmediahq.com/blog/Alan-Newman-Interview-Life-Way-Outside-the-Box • Subscribe to the "I Used to be Somebody" Newsletter: https://pickleballmediahq.com

With its eco-friendly paper towels, diapers, and cleansers, Seventh Generation was one of the first—and most successful—green household brands to hit the market. But in the early 1990s, just a few years after it began as a scrappy mail-order catalog, its two founders had a bitter falling out. Alan Newman and Jeffrey Hollender have barely spoken since that time, but they generously agreed to come on the show to talk to Guy about the business they were both passionate about, and the delicate nature of partnership.Order the How I Built This book at: https://smarturl.it/HowIBuiltThis

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Eruvin 66, dives down into a sensitive subject: What does it take to build a community where Jews and non-Jews live together peacefully? Alan Newman, the author of the new novel A Good Heart, joins us to talk about Christian-Jewish relations, and what life in small town America taught him about making friends across different communities of faith. How might the Talmud inspire contemporary Christian-Jewish relations? Listen and find out.
It’s commonplace these days to see household and personal care products that are designed to be better for you and less harmful to the environment. But not too long ago, those items were few and far between, marketed by just a handful of brands -- one of which was Seventh Generation, a mail order business co-founded by Jeffrey Hollender. Launched in 1988, the company gradually evolved into a pioneering retail brand known for social responsibility and sustainable practices. In 2016, consumer products conglomerate Unilever purchased Seventh Generation for an estimated $700 million. Despite an acrimonious split with the company in 2010, Hollender eventually returned as a board member in 2017. He’s also currently the CEO and co-founder of the American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC), an advocacy group that represents the interests of socially responsible companies and an adjunct professor of sustainability and social entrepreneurship at NYU’s Stern Business School, as well as a member of the board at Greenpeace. In the following interview, Hollender spoke about the ASBC’s mission, his initial foray into entrepreneurship, the genesis of Seventh Generation and how the company eventually grew into its own. He also explained why he embraced the nickname “Chief Inspired Protagonist” and what he believes were the reasons behind his ouster. Later, he discussed the ways in which he supports socially responsible companies and progressive causes and why he urges brand owners to confront the reality that their products may be “less bad” rather than truly good. Show notes: 3:16: Interview: Jeffrey Hollender, Co-Founder, Seventh Generation -- Hollender spoke with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif for an expansive conversation about his business career, which began with producing audio educational courses. He also explained why his mission in life is “to fundamentally alter the negative trajectory that our world is on” and how his work with the American Sustainable Business Council fits into that goal. Later, he discussed the creation of Seventh Generation, how he educated himself about the business of consumer products, his rift with co-founder Alan Newman and what sparked a turning point for the brand. Later, he spoke about why he stepped down as CEO and why he was unhappy with his replacement, and urged entrepreneurs to be extremely careful about their investment partners. Finally, he discussed how he evaluates opportunities to invest in early-stage companies, such as organic energy shot brand Kafina.

Way back in 1994, in Burlington, Vermont, a little brewery named Magic Hat sprung to life making what for many of its customers was the first “craft beer” they’d ever taste. One of its co-founders was Alan Newman, who became not only the entrepreneurial force behind the company, but the whimsical, hippie, bearded face of the brand itself. By the time he’d gotten Magic Hat off the ground, he was already well on his way to being a serial entrepreneur, and after his frustrated departure from the brewery in 2010, as part of a private equity deal, he went on to be the strategic, creative and, again, somewhat-of-a-face for brands like Coney Island, Concrete Beach, the Traveler Shandy company, and Angel City Brewery. At the latter, he was working as part of the Alchemy & Science portfolio owned by Boston Beer. Indeed, he was working directly with Jim Koch. I worked alongside Alan and his team for a couple years as they built and re-positioned these brands, so part of today’s conversation will include a look back at some of the challenges and opportunities in that work from Alan’s perspective. Now? He’s done. He’s walking away from the beer industry. Or so he says. I don’t exactly believe it. Alan has a funny way of always reeling himself back into the business. Alan and beer just can’t quite quit each other. And regardless of whether he comes back, or new ventures await, his perspective on what’s happening in our industry now is always fascinating and instructive for me because he was there in the room when so many decisions were made. Decisions like who will be defined as a “craft brewer” in the first place. And what’s the value of that definition? And then, of course, how so many of the challenges he faced with Magic Hat in the '90s are timeless for small brewers today. The more things change, the more they stay the same, as it were.

ROBERT NEWMAN is an attorney who is recognized as a leading authority on animal law. Robert’s work on cases involving dogs, cats and even rabbits has garnered him widespread media attention. He also lectures and consults with veterinarians throughout the United States on how to avoid malpractice lawsuits. (40:07) EPISODE NOTES: In addition to being a nationally-recognized animal law expert, ROBERT NEWMAN owns four ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Hounds. Although it's one of the oldest known domesticated dogs, the Pharaoh Hound wasn't recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1983. Robert is the president of the Pharaoh Hound Club of America and has shown Elliott, Logan, Phorest and Wink all over the country, including the Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden. In THE ANIMAL LAWYER, Robert talks about the unusual breed that blushes. (When excited, the inside of a Pharaoh Hound's naturally pointy ears, nose and belly turn a rosy pink because there's no black pigment in its skin.) Because it's a sighthound, Robert says a Pharaoh Hound can never be off leash in an open area. "If he spots something a quarter-mile away he'll take off after it, no matter how well trained he is." Despite his busy work schedule, Robert frequently volunteers in hospitals with his Pharaoh Hounds, which have been trained and certified as therapy dogs. In fact, Logan went on and not only became the first Pharaoh Hound, but the first hound of any kind, to be certified as a Federal Crisis Response dog. These are dogs brought to natural disaster sites to interact with first-responders. Robert says having "rough and tumble firefighters" connect with dogs makes it easier for them to talk about the traumatic things they've seen and experienced. Canine compassion comes in all sizes. In fact, the first of Robert's dogs to become a certified therapy dog was Ruben, his beloved 6-pound Chihuahua. Robert and Ruben did a lot of good work together, such as lifting the spirits of children saying goodbye to their military moms and dads being deployed overseas and visiting pediatric oncology units. When Robert had to say goodbye to his own dad, Alan Newman, who was dying of cancer, the very loving and outgoing Ruben made the parting just a little easier for both father and son.

Alan Newman: Domination, Tutti Frutti, Hotel Alien Alan Newman published several programs for the Atari 8-bit computers: Domination, a Hamurabi-style management game, was published by Atari Program Exchange. It first appeared in the Fall 1981 catalog, where it won first prize in the entertainment category. Next he created Tutti Frutti, an arcade-style game that was published by Adventure International. And Hotel Alien, a graphical adventure game published by Artworx. He also wrote Spy Vs. Spy — not the Mad Magazine game published by First Star Software; a word game that was to be published by PDI but didn't get wide release. Alan has sent me that program to archive, so it's now available online for the first time. This interview took place on February 2, 2016. Teaser quote: "I wanted to move to California. I wanted to do this full time. But when I realized how much copying was out there, it became a bad idea."
