We're revisiting one of the standout conversations from the meez Podcast archive. In this episode, Josh sits down with legendary chef Wylie Dufresne for a conversation on creativity, leadership, and the tension between making great art and building a sustainable business. It's a conversation that remains just as relevant today, and one well worth bringing back for another listen.Chef Wylie Dufresne joins host Josh Sharkey for a fireside chat at the Tarrytown Estates outside New York City for the annual meez team summit.Chef Dufresne is a true pioneer and craftsman in the culinary world, having won James Beard Awards and Michelin stars, and his restaurant, wd~50, was voted one of the 50 best in the world.In this interview, Chef Wylie discusses his struggles with balancing art and commerce. He reflects that he did not regret choosing art over commerce but wishes he had worked more thoughtfully at finding a better balance.As the conversation continues, Chef Wylie touches on the importance of timing in business. He discusses how he created a new paradigm of cooking when he opened wd~50 and how he developed a culture of creativity there, emphasizing how creativity cannot be taught, but it can be planned for and hunted for.Dufresne's goal for wd~50 was to create a place where anyone interested in learning about cooking could continue to do so. With this philosophy, Dufresne created a restaurant that not only pushed culinary boundaries but also fostered a culture of learning and curiosity.Links and resources

We're revisiting Part Two of Josh's conversation with legendary chef Wylie Dufresne, continuing their fireside chat from the annual meez team summit at the Tarrytown Estates outside New York City. After exploring the story and philosophy behind wd~50 in Part One, Wylie tackles some not-so-quick-fire questions, shares the unexpected inspiration behind Stretch Pizza, and takes questions from the audience.Chef Wylie reveals how stumbling upon a Breville pizza oven during the pandemic sparked an obsession with pizza-making. His desire to understand every lever and variable behind the perfect dough became a source of stimulation and happiness during a difficult period and ultimately helped inspire the opening of Stretch Pizza.The conversation also explores the difference between copying a recipe and truly mastering a craft. Wylie explains why great cooking comes from years of practice and repetition, the importance of seeking honest feedback, and learning to recognize when a dish is truly balanced. It's a thoughtful continuation of Part One and a look at how curiosity keeps chefs and creators learning, experimenting, and pushing their work forward.Links and resources

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Alder Allensworth as guest to the show to share the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Community.   About Alder Allensworth, Co-Founder of Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's:   Alder Allensworth, MM, RN, is a registered nurse and retired hospice counselor who supported families caring for loved ones with dementia at the end of life. Her professional background spans working with both children and older adults, including those living with Alzheimer's disease.   The inspiration for this project grew from Alder's personal experience witnessing her mother, who had Alzheimer's, connect meaningfully with her grandchildren—Alder's nieces and nephews. This powerful family experience, combined with her clinical work, deepened her commitment to helping families navigate dementia with compassion, creativity, and connection.   Alder is also an accomplished writer, having published several articles in professional journals and books. As a speaker and presenter in the field of disabilities, she has shared her insights on local, national, and international stages. Her advocacy and dedication to promoting quality of life for people with disabilities have been featured on CNN, as well as in international media and local news outlets.   About Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's:   The Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Program (MMAP) is a family-centered multimedia educational program created to help children, parents, caregivers, educators, and healthcare professionals better understand and navigate Alzheimer's disease together.   Designed especially for families in the "sandwich generation," MMAP provides practical guidance, age-appropriate education, and meaningful activities that help children stay connected with a loved one living with Alzheimer's—from diagnosis through the severe stage of the disease.   At the heart of MMAP is the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Awareness Program (MMAAP), a 5-video educational series that explains the different stages of Alzheimer's while also providing guidance for adults who are simultaneously raising children and caring for an aging loved one.   The program includes:   • A 5-video educational series covering the stages of Alzheimer's • Guidance for parents and caregivers helping children understand the disease • Simple, meaningful activities children can do with their loved one • A quick-reference guide and video transcripts • Accessible audio and visual resources for different learning needs • An online community component offering additional connection and support   One of the most important goals of MMAAP is helping children understand Alzheimer's in ways that are appropriate for their age—while showing them that even as the disease progresses, there are still opportunities to connect, interact, and create meaningful moments with the person they love.   The program is complemented by the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Disease Picture Book, a gentle, child-friendly introduction to Alzheimer's that follows a young girl as she learns to understand and remain connected with her grandmother throughout the progression of the disease.   The book also includes a QR code providing access to a free Story Song download. The lyrics of the song are the text of the book, creating an engaging and memorable learning experience for young children, early readers, and families.   MMAP can also serve as a valuable educational resource for Adult Day Centers and Memory Care Communities. The ready-to-use program gives organizations a structured way to educate and support families, proactively answer common questions, and provide families with resources they can return to throughout their caregiving journey—allowing staff to devote more time to care, engagement, and meaningful connection.   Ultimately, the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Program goes beyond explaining the disease.   It helps families understand what is happening, gives children a meaningful role in the caregiving journey, and provides families with tools to preserve relationships, create positive memories, and remain connected throughout Alzheimer's and other dementias.

This week, Shaye Wanner interviews Haley Potter from the Ambrook team about how artificial intelligence can support ranch profitability and long-term continuity when used responsibly. Potter, who has North Dakota ranching roots and splits time between ranches in Dell and Alder, Montana, says AI fits best for producers who need help with information gathering and admin tasks while keeping humans in control of decisions and fact-checking outputs.   She shares examples such as using Claude to summarize bull sale catalogs based on EPD parameters, building grazing plans, and analyzing financials for expansion scenarios, plus customer examples like an AI-assisted ordering/lead tool for direct-to-consumer beef and a “ranch command center” dashboard. Potter explains Ambrook's AI-assisted bookkeeping features (tagging, invoice matching, receipt scanning) and emphasizes data quality, transparency, and privacy, including choosing trusted services and requiring approval for data use.  See what Ambrook can do for your operation here: ambrook.com/casualcattle    Learn more about Noble here: https://bit.ly/3DD7uG0  Learn more about Vence here: https://bit.ly/4kfWrCG  00:00 AI and Ranching Today  00:11 Meet Haley Potter  01:30 AI Not Insemination  01:56 Can AI Help Ranchers  02:51 Haley Ranching Roots  04:10 Responsible AI Basics  05:45 Real Ranch AI Examples  09:56 What Ambrook Does  10:39 AI Features in Ambrook  12:54 Time Savings and Better Data  15:25 Data Privacy and Trust   

On September 19 last year, the husband-and-wife cofounders of e-commerce company Pattern, David Wright and Melanie Alder, walked up together to the NASDAQ podium in Times Square—both dressed in black button-up shirts and custom blue and purple Nike Air Forces. Wright, CEO of the Lehi, Utah-based company, took the microphone to thank the room full of employees. “Mel and I get asked, ‘How did you do it?' We didn't…it's a team sport,” Wright exclaimed as he took off his shoe, eagerly holding it up to the crowd.It was a surreal moment for Wright and Alder: Ringing the NASDAQ bell was something they'd never imagined when they first began reselling fridge magnets on Amazon out of Alder's living room in 2013. “We were just trying to bring in a little extra money on the side,” Wright explains from a conference room overlooking Utah's sprawling mountainscape from Pattern's headquarters in the tech hub known as Silicon Slopes. “Yeah, in the beginning, it was just us trying to support our families,” Alder chimes in from the seat next to his. At the time, both were married to other people: Alder was raising four children with her now ex-husband, while Wright had six of his own with his now ex-wife.

Trent and Matt chat with Chad Alder, newly hired general manager of Born and Raised Outdoors and the first GM not named Trent, who is away at the Hoodoo bow shoot. Chad discusses joining a strong company community, his initial focus on learning the business through risk analysis and identifying strengths and weak points, and how he applied and first interviewed with CFO Ashley. Originally from Southern California, Chad moved to Utah for work and recently relocated to Oregon with his wife, a high school teacher, and their two daughters (ages 9 and 11). He describes family life, parenting lessons, and his oldest daughter's celiac disease prompting early self-sufficiency in cooking. Though not a hunter, Chad has outdoor product and e-commerce experience and shoots firearms and bows; Crohn's disease has limited backcountry hunting. He also shares a background in Hollywood Video, social work with at-risk youth, and behavioral work with autistic students, plus favorite films across genres.

What does it truly mean to rewild yourself? In this powerful, impactful episode, I had a conversation with Jesse Wolf Hardin, an American author, activist, musician, artist, herbalist, and wilderness guide to explore the concept of ''rewilding". This conversation goes far beyond ecology. It's an invitation to remember that we are not separate from nature. We are nature. Together, we talked about how modern life has distanced us from our instincts, intuition, and wild essence and how reconnecting with the Earth can restore not only ecosystems, but our very identity. From Wolf's 50 years living off-grid in New Mexico to his reflections on plants, activism, and inner transformation, this episode is a call to return to your roots, reclaim your wildness, and live more fully, and authentically. In this episode, you'll learn: 00:00 – Teaser and Intro 00:43 – Jesse Wolf Hardin & his life's work 02:12 – What rewilding really means 03:06 – Rewilding ecosystems vs. rewilding ourselves 04:28 – Disconnection, conflict, and the illusion of separation 07:08 – Humans as “feelers” of the Earth 10:04 – Wolf's early experiences of wildness 12:17 – Learning from elders and living outside the system 14:02 – Finding his land in New Mexico 15:41 – Living off-grid and building a life rooted in nature 20:04 – Technology vs. connection: reaching the world from the wild 21:28 – The Good Medicine Confluence experience 23:16 – Feeling like an outsider & carrying “medicine” 24:44 – Raising children with imagination and wildness 26:26 – Can you rewild in the city or suburbs? 29:11 – Rewilding as a lifelong process 32:10 – Practical ways to begin rewilding anywhere 35:37 – Plant energy, medicine, and ecological connection 40:04 – Lessons from plants (especially Alder) 42:42 – Recommended books by Wolf 44:25 – Final reflections & gratitude Memorable Quote: “We cannot be natural practitioners unless we are within our own nature.” ~Jesse Wolf Hardin “You are a part, just as the tree is, of all that has ever existed.” “Rewilding is not a place. It's a way of being.” Books by Jesse Wolf Hardin: The Healing Terrain Wonderements Links & Resources: Good Medicine Confluence About the guest, Jesse Wolf Hardin: Jesse Wolf Hardin is a presenter, musician, ecosopher, activist, artist, and author of hundreds of magazine articles and dozens of books – a champion of both human and bio diversity, as well as of nature's medicines.

Alder — UqgwikUqgwit kua'akameng cillkataartut. – When alders burn they make a crackling sound.

St Louis City Alderperson Anne Schweitzer joins Chris and Amy. She's pushing to improve the large intersections in the city of St Louis where some so-called, 'street takeovers' have happened. They include vehicles doing 'donuts' and burnouts in the streets along with hundreds of people. Have curfews worked? She also weighs-in on a possible 'pause' in data center applications.

Jeremy Alder is a comedian who mines his life as a homeschooled youth group kid growing up in Texas for jokes that will probably be very relatable for our audience. We talk with Jeremy about his special, Purity Pants, his album, Almost A Grown Man, and his failed Christian rock band, Nineveh (or 9veh if Jeremy has his way). Jeremy also is a seminary graduate, a former preacher and creator of the series "Christians Who Don't Suck" on his Instagram. ---Do you have a Christian rock story to tell?

Episode 345Today we're joined by Jeff, a true pioneer from the wild, formative years of rock concert touring — what he calls the “pirate years.”Jeff recently published his book, How to Be a Lighting Guy (During the Pirate Years of Concert Touring), a firsthand account of building a career during the birth of modern concert lighting. From running liquid light shows in the early 1970s — including for Grand Funk before they were even Grand Funk Railroad — to experimenting with the first analog moving lights like the Cyklops, Jeff was there as the art and technology of live lighting were being invented in real time.He worked with Fantasee Lighting, pushed for the early R&D of computer-controlled moving lights with Morpheus Lights, and directed or designed lighting for legendary artists including Warren Zevon, Jimmy Buffett, Steve Miller Band, Huey Lewis and the News, Santana, Cyndi Lauper, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, and Grand Funk — who fittingly bookended his career.Jeff's journey came to an unexpected halt in the mid-'90s due to a collapsed vertebrae, but his perspective on success, failure, and longevity is what truly defines his story. As he writes in the final line of his book:“Though I have a lot of memorabilia… learning how to succeed at a lifetime of losing was my biggest reward.”He's here to talk about how life on the road has changed, what it was like when concert touring had no rulebook, and why sometimes the greatest success doesn't look the way you expect.This episode is brought to you by Main Light and Artistry In Motion

Season 5 opens with a return to the land.In this debut episode of our Guided by Plants series, early childhood educators Nick (he/him) and Mike (he/him) center alder and big leaf maple as living teachers of nourishment, protection, and interdependence in early childhood spaces.Through shared reflection and conversation, we explore how these plants sustain the ecosystems around them and what that can teach us about nourishing children in our programs. We riff on alder's role in restoring and supporting others, big leaf maple's capacity to offer shelter and space, and how these lessons can guide our interactions with children, families, and colleagues.This hour-long episode is rooted in observation, story, and practice. Listeners will walk away with ideas for how to thoughtfully introduce alder and big leaf maple into classroom experiences, leadership and management approaches, and relationship-building with families—grounded in care, curiosity, and connection rather than compliance.Join us as we slow down, notice, and invite the plant world to help shape how we show up for children and for one another.Interested in bringing Nick and Mike to your community?

Red Alder has increased in popularity substantially from its "junk tree" status and now shows up in cabinetry, floors, guitars and even saunas. Listen as I dive deep on the merits of this underrated hardwood. Also in this episode I talk about Walnut grading for color and how the potential of Vietnamese Walnut could play out in the North American market.

Le rasoir d'Alder est une règle de bon sens… qui coupe net les débats stériles. Son idée centrale tient en une phrase : si une affirmation ne peut pas être tranchée par l'observation ou l'expérience, alors elle ne vaut pas la peine d'être débattue.On l'appelle aussi, avec un humour très “scientifique”, « l'épée laser flamboyante de Newton » (Newton's flaming laser sword). Cette formule a été popularisée au début des années 2000 par le mathématicien australien Mike Alder, notamment dans un essai publié en 2004.Et c'est précisément pour cela qu'on parle de rasoir d'Alder : comme pour le rasoir d'Occam, le concept porte le nom de la personne qui l'a formulé et rendu célèbre. Ce n'est pas Newton qui l'a inventé : Newton sert ici de clin d'œil dans le surnom. À noter d'ailleurs qu'on voit parfois “Adler” écrit par erreur, mais l'attribution correcte est bien Alder.Le rasoir d'Alder ne dit pas “c'est faux”. Il dit : “ce n'est pas un bon usage de notre temps de le disputer comme si on pouvait conclure.”Exemple : “Existe-t-il un univers parallèle exactement identique au nôtre, mais inaccessible à jamais ?” Peut-être. Mais si, par définition, aucune mesure ne peut le confirmer ou l'infirmer, alors le rasoir d'Alder conseille de ne pas transformer ça en bataille intellectuelle.C'est une invitation à déplacer la discussion vers des questions testables :Au lieu de débattre “l'intelligence est-elle une essence mystérieuse ?”, on peut demander “quels tests permettent de prédire des performances cognitives, et avec quelle fiabilité ?”Au lieu de “la conscience est-elle immatérielle ?”, on peut demander “quels corrélats neuronaux de l'expérience consciente peut-on mesurer ?”En ce sens, Alder est proche de l'esprit de Karl Popper et de la falsifiabilité : une proposition devient “scientifique” si on peut imaginer ce qui la rendrait fausse. Mais Alder va plus loin en mode pragmatique : si on ne peut pas trancher, ne gaspillons pas l'énergie à polémiquer.Attention : ce rasoir n'est pas une loi de la nature. Il peut être trop strict. Certaines questions paraissent non testables… jusqu'au jour où une nouvelle méthode les rend observables (c'est arrivé souvent dans l'histoire des sciences). Et puis, on peut aussi débattre de valeurs, d'éthique, de sens — sans “expérience” au sens strict.Conclusion : le rasoir d'Alder n'élimine pas les grandes questions. Il vous aide à repérer celles qui, pour l'instant, ne peuvent produire ni preuve ni progrès — juste des joutes verbales. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Summary In this episode of Inspired Caring, host Michele Magner engages in a heartfelt conversation with guests Brenda Freed and Alder Allensworth, both experts in music therapy and dementia care. The discussion centers around the challenges faced by families dealing with Alzheimer's disease, particularly how to communicate the complexities of the illness to children. Alder shares her personal experience as a caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer's, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on families. The trio emphasizes the importance of creating resources that help children understand dementia, fostering empathy and compassion in the younger generation. They introduce their innovative program, 'Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's,' which includes educational videos, a picture book, and song designed to make the topic accessible and relatable for children.KeywordsAlzheimer's, dementia, caregiving, music therapy, children education, empathy, family support, Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's, caregiver resources, sandwich generationTakeaways"I found myself as a sandwich generation caregiver.""We wanted to change that scenario.""Children can learn so you can teach and educate the child.""It's important to be honest with it and it's out there as part of the family.""These are universal skills that every family can benefit from."Sound bites"I found myself as a sandwich generation caregiver.""We wanted to meet people where they're at.""The child can learn so you can teach and educate the child."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dementia and Caregiving03:53 Personal Experiences with Alzheimer's06:45 Creating Educational Resources for Children10:09 The Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Program13:00 Understanding Alzheimer's Through Videos15:55 Incorporating Children in Caregiving18:48 The Importance of Communication and Honesty22:07 Social Implications of Educating Children25:06 The Unique Picture Book and Its Benefits28:01 Life Skills and Compassion Through Caregiving30:56 Final Thoughts for Caregivers47:01 Podcast Intro Music Project (MASTER BOUNCE - OUTRO).mp3Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Disease Picture bookSong on YouTubeEmail: Mackenziemeetsalzheimers@gmail.com@Mackenziemeetsalzehimers on FB, Instagram, YouTube,LinkedInAlder Playlist: The Beatles, Motown, AbbaBrenda: Ellis, Jamie Harris, Michael O'Connor, Mary GaucheDying and Death singer songwriters: Tommy Byrd (Byrd and Street), FrankGilliganInspired Caring is THE family support & education program that helps families feel calm and confident to make better decisions faster.

Recent data shows one out of every four American adults are providing some sort of unpaid caregiving for a loved one, be it a parent, child, or someone else they know with a chronic illness or disability. Caregiving can require a lot of physical, emotional and mental energy, but there's a lot of love there, too - and there is assistance out there to ensure you don't burn out. Nichole talks with Kate Granigan, CEO of Alder in Newton, about the balance that's needed to ensure caregivers can take care of themselves, and resources that can help lighten the load.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Christmas Tree With One LightSnow fell in soft, quiet sheets over the small town of Willow Glen, covering rooftops and porches with a gentle white blanket. Every house on Maple Street shimmered with lights—blue, gold, red, and green—each one competing to outshine the next.Every house… except one.At the corner of the street stood Mrs. Alder's home, dim and silent.No garland.No wreath.No warmth in the windows.Only a single, small Christmas tree sat by her front door—so simple, so worn, it looked like it belonged to a memory more than a season. And on that tree, barely hanging on, was one single working light.Children passing by would whisper,“Doesn't she know it's Christmas?”“Maybe she doesn't have family anymore.”“Maybe she doesn't care.”But young Daniel, age eleven, didn't just wonder—he worried.He remembered Mrs. Alder from before her husband passed. She used to bake cookies for the neighborhood kids and tell stories from when she was a teacher. But lately, she barely opened her door.Something inside Daniel tugged at him each time he saw that lonely tree.Finally, on Christmas Eve afternoon, he took action.He went door to door and asked his neighbors for “just one extra ornament,” nothing more. Some gave ribbons, others tiny bells, others a spare string of lights. One neighbor gave a silver star that had belonged to her parents.By evening, Daniel had filled a grocery bag with bits of Christmas from the whole community.He trudged through the snow to Mrs. Alder's home, heart thumping, and knocked.After a long pause, the door opened a crack.Her eyes softened when she saw him.“Daniel? Is everything alright?”He held out the bag.“We… um… we thought your tree could use a little help.”She looked puzzled. “My tree?”Daniel pointed to the tiny, drooping thing by her steps—the tree with only one faint light blinking like it was tired.Mrs. Alder blinked fast, and for a moment, Daniel thought she might close the door. Instead, she stepped outside into the cold, touched the tree gently, and whispered,“I bought this tree with my husband our very first Christmas. It's the last decoration we had together… I couldn't make myself replace it.”Daniel nodded. “You don't have to replace it. But maybe… we could help it shine again?”Mrs. Alder looked into the bag—at the ornaments, the ribbons, the star—and her chin trembled. She whispered,“Let's do it.”So they decorated the tree together.One neighbor, seeing them outside, stepped over and added a string of lights.Then another came with hot cocoa.Then another brought a blanket for Mrs. Alder's shoulders.Soon the entire street—families who had barely spoken all year—gathered around that tiny tree, each adding something of their own.When they plugged in the final strand of lights, the tree glowed brighter than any other on Maple Street. Not because it was the biggest, or the newest, or the fanciest——but because every piece of it was given with love.Mrs. Alder wiped her tears and said softly,“Thank you for helping me remember what Christmas really means.”And from behind Daniel, someone said,“No… thank you for letting us be part of it.”That night, the tree with one single struggling light became the tree that lit the entire neighborhood.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/
