While last week's rehearsal was our first time to play with the remarkable fiddler John Ace, that evening was likely the last time that Floodster Emeritus Dave “Bub” Ball will get to jam with his old friend.It was only at the end of the evening we learned that John — after two decades of snow-birding it from Virginia to Florida — is at a new crossroads in his life, set to move permanently to New Hampshire to be near his daughter.In fact, just hours after the last notes were played that night, Ball drove Ace to the depot so he could board a train for his Alexandria home. After that, Dave turned the car south for his long drive back to his home with his wife Yvonne in Jupiter, FL.“John and I will stay in touch,” Bub said in an email this week, “but with him in New Hampshire and me about 1500 miles away, the odds are we won't be able to get together again.”A train song seemed like the most appropriate choice for the last number of the night and we picked one of the best in our repertoire.Bub and John's JourneyAs reported here recently, in 2005 John Ace sold his house and car and moved to the sea, living full time on “Four Aces,” his 36-foot fiberglass Cabo Rico sailboat. From then on, he divided his time between summers in Virginia and winters in Florida … and/or the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico … wherever the winds carried him.Now, though, “at 76 traveling becomes a factor,” Bub said of his old friend.Bub met John about three years ago during one of those winter treks to warmer climes.“The band he was playing with at the time, Gypsy String Revival, needed a fill-in bassist and gave me a call,” Ball recalled. “He and I became friends and started playing jams together.”Later, when fiddler Paddy King, one of the original 3 String Circus members, couldn't make a renaissance fair gig, John filled in.“He spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with us here and we became close friends,” Bub recalled. “We played many Faire gigs together.”This summer The Flood got to meet John because Bub needed a fiddler to share the stage with him at the Lewisville, WV, renaissance fair. “John just happened to be in Alexandria, a five- or six-hour train ride to Alderson,” Ball said. “Soooooo, John filled in, and brilliantly I might add.”About the SongFeatured in this week's podcast, those last notes of our last evening with John and Bub are from “Yellow Dog Blues,” W.C. Handy's 1915 masterpiece that speaks so elegantly of the passages in life. As reported earlier, it is the song that brought a classic line to the blues world, talking about going to “where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog.”For more on the history of this grand old tune, see this earlier Flood Watch article. And for more of John Ace's fine fiddling with The Flood during his West Virginia trek, click here and here.Meanwhile, in Flood Movie News…Well, Georgia is on our mind these days. Randy Yohe's award-winning “These Boys” documentary about The Flood has been selected to participate in Augusta's 12th annual Black Cat Picture Show film festival.Black Cat is the Georgia city's only adjudicated international festival for independent films, hosted at Le Chat Noir theater, a 100-seat black box theater in downtown Augusta. This recognition now brings to a half dozen the number of honors the film has received this year. As reported earlier, the picture has been praised by two French festivals — ARFF Paris // International Film Festival and the Cine Paris Film Festival — as well as here in the States by The East Village New York Film Festival and Texas's Austin International Art Festival. Also the Appalachian Film Festival screened the documentary as the featured film on the opening night.Right now “These Boys” is working its way through film festivals like these, but we look forward to sharing the completed film with everyone later this year. We'll keep you posted.Click here to read more about the work on “These Boys.” This is a public episode.

The Black Caps have scored a come-from-behind 2-1 test series win over England. Sealed by a 160-run game three win, New Zealand's victory over England is just the second time in their 96-year history they've pulled something like this off to win a series in the longest format. NZME sports broadcaster Andrew Alderson says everyone in the squad contributed to the big win in some way. "It's a real tribute to Latham, he took this team to win the unprecedented three-nil victory in India - and now this two-one victory in England."

“I'm coming around to the view that running human-written code – without it being AI-audited – is going to be considered the reckless thing.”In this episode, Martin Alderson – cofounder of Catchmetrics, engineering leader with two decades shipping enterprise software, and author of a Top 100 Hacker News blog on the intersection of software engineering and economics – cuts through the AI noise with the rare combination of someone who actually builds with agents every day and can read what that does to markets. The thesis that runs through the whole conversation: most companies think their AI problem is a tooling decision. It's not. It's a mindset problem, and the wrong one is quietly existential.What You'll Discover:[01:29] The $285 Billion Markdown File→ Why Wall Street wiped out a quarter-trillion in SaaS value over 13 markdown files – and the three distinct ways every SaaS company is now exposed.[05:38] The Figma Trap→ How SaaS companies ended up paying their single biggest competitor every time a customer uses their product – and how many others are in the same corner.[12:33] The 180 Nobody Saw Coming→ Why the “AI writes insecure code” fear is flipping on its head – and the case that human-written code without an AI audit is about to be the reckless choice.[15:55] Why Non-Technical People Out-Build Engineers→ The reason marketers and PMs are shipping products in a weekend – and the human psychology that lets them iterate without the guilt that kills good ideas.[23:45] Why a Copilot License Can Kill Your Company→ The bifurcation of intelligence: how a “safe” enterprise tool convinces leaders AI is mediocre, right as they're about to be out-executed.[28:33] Five People vs. a Thousand-Person Company→ Are small teams with agents winning a window that closes when the frontier labs steamroll them – or is this the new permanent state?[33:14] The One Question Every CEO Needs to Answer→ The deceptively simple question Martin puts to leaders – and why most boards can't even answer it.[35:50] The Oligopoly Scenario→ Why open-weights models are quietly closing up, and the future Martin is genuinely worried about: three or four giants extracting rent with little incentive to innovate.Key Takeaways:The barrier to building complex software has collapsed – but the threat to incumbents isn't customers rebuilding a CRM, it's a five-person team out-executing them on cost and speed.Don't measure AI adoption by Copilot licenses issued or people trained. Ask how many tokens your organization is actually consuming – and whether you can even answer that at a board level.The real strategic question isn't “how do we add AI to what we do?” It's “if we reimagined the whole business with ten great people and agents, what would it look like – and what's blocking us from getting there?”About Martin Alderson:Martin Alderson is cofounder of Catchmetrics and the writer behind martinalderson.com, a Top 100 Hacker News blog covering the AI transformation through the dual lens of software engineering and economics – read and recommended by people including OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy. He's spent two decades shipping enterprise software and writes some of the sharpest analysis anywhere on where AI, building, and markets actually collide.
In this episode, we're diving into the very overwhelming world of autism therapies and treatments—because why are there 500 options and zero clear answers? We talk about how we figure out what actually makes sense for our kids (not just what everyone on the internet says we “should” be doing), why every child's needs are different, and how our family dynamics play a bigger role than people realize. We also get into the pressure we feel after diagnosis, what advocacy actually looks like in real life, and how we choose therapies that align with our family values—not just what looks good on paper. We break down helpful frameworks like the readiness model and the PACT approach to make all of this feel a little less like throwing darts in the dark. And as always, we share our real-life experiences—the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today we are joined once again by Jonathan Alderson for a thoughtful and honest conversation about one of the biggest topics in the autism world: acceptance vs. treatment. We talk about why those ideas don't have to be opposites, how parents often know their children best, and why support should never be one-size-fits-all. Jonathan shares his approach to helping families by combining different therapies based on each child's unique needs. We also discuss the emotional side of parenting, the pressure families can feel from schools and professionals, and how true acceptance can create space for growth, connection, and change.

On this week's episode of Hurt to Healing, I'm talking to nutritionist and hormone specialist Hannah Alderson about something so many of us hear about all the time, but don't always fully understand - our hormones.From anxiety and low mood to brain fog, burnout, PMT, perimenopause and feeling completely unlike yourself, Hannah explains how hormones can shape so much of how we think, feel and function. We also get into her own journey with PCOS and endometriosis, the role of stress and blood sugar, and why looking after your hormonal health doesn't have to mean perfection - just small, supportive changes that help your body feel safer and more balanced.Thank you to INGENIOUS for sponsoring this episode.

This week on Talking Shit About Nothing, Jimmy and Richie welcome a very special guest all the way from Australia — Amanda Alderson (#267) from Squid Game: The Challenge. Jimmy and Amanda met during the filming of the show, and she joins the boys to break down her entire experience. Amanda talks about how she doesn't even like reality TV, yet somehow found herself going through the audition process and miraculously landing a spot on one of the biggest shows in the world. Despite the cold, the hunger, and the difficulty of the experience, she calls it the best experience of her life, largely because of the people she met and the relationships she formed along the way. The conversation then turns into a full-on Australia interrogation. Jimmy and Richie grill Amanda on everything from the weather (it's 9 degrees in Boston, by the way), to kangaroos, tourism, cultural differences, and what life is really like down under. It's a mix of Squid Game stories, international roasting, and classic TSAN energy — you don't want to miss this one.

iIn this powerful conversation, Tania sits down with Jonathan Alderson to challenge two of the most persistent myths about autism: the “five-year window” and the “myth of ritual.” Together they unpack the damaging idea that meaningful progress in autism must happen before age five, replacing it with hope, science, and lived experience that affirm growth across the lifespan. They also explore how so-called “rigid rituals” often serve a vital purpose in creating predictability, safety, and regulation.Jonathan shares a compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming lens that helps parents and educators see these behaviors as communication, not pathology. This episode is a reminder that autistic development is not bound by time and that honoring ritual can be an act of respect, not resistance.To find out more about Jonathan's incredible work, click hereThrive Guide: https://www.thriveguide.co/Book: Challenging the Myths of Autism: Click hereInstagram: Click hereWanting more from ICP?

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
I've been part of The Boutique Hub for more than five years, and I was so excited to welcome its founder, Ashley Alderson, to the Launch Your Box Podcast. Ashley started The Boutique Hub in 2013 to give small business owners a place to connect, learn, and grow together. Today, the Hub supports more than 100,000 small businesses. What Loyalty Really Looks Like When I asked Ashley what customer loyalty actually looks like, she didn't hesitate. It's all about building community. People want to buy from people. The more your customers feel connected to you and your brand, the more loyal they become. Ashley shared her team's approach to content creation, something she calls the VAVA Method. Viral: Is it relatable enough that someone would click, like, share, or comment? Authentic: Does it sound like a real person said it? Value: Does it help your audience by saving them time, solving a problem, or making their day better? Aspirational: Does it make them feel like they're becoming a better version of themselves? When you're running a product-based business, you can't just sell all the time. Ashley says that at any given moment, about 90% of your audience isn't ready to buy, so you need to nurture them with community-building content. Ashley suggests ratio of two-thirds soft-sell, one-third direct-sell. Sales Is a Noble Process Ashley reminded us that selling is about serving. When you connect with your audience, help them solve problems, and make their lives a little better, that's a noble thing. As subscription box owners, we have to be attached to that outcome for our subscribers. We start by building community, then we serve that community, and then we sell to that community. That's servant leadership in action. How to Build Loyalty That Lasts Ashley shared that true loyalty comes from creating an emotional reaction. Everything, from your community and marketing to post-purchase experiences, should make your customers feel something. Your subscribers should always believe the value of your box is greater than its price. As Ashley likes to say, “Cheap ain't loyal.” Be the face of your brand. Let people see you. Because at the end of the day, people want to buy from people. The Six Layers of a Sustainable Business Ashley broke down the six layers every business needs to build a strong foundation: Operations and Brand Profits and Profitability Team Sales Strategy Content Strategy Social Media Each layer works together to create a business that's stable, scalable, and ready for long-term success. The Future of Small Business Ashley sees a shift happening, away from isolation and scrolling, and back toward real human connection. People are craving community, conversation, and relationships again. And that's great news for subscription box owners, because community is what we do best. Take Action Spend time this week building connection with your audience. Share something that's relatable, real, and valuable - something that reminds your followers there's a person behind your brand.

While looking for recordings of Elizabeth G. Flynn I found this in the Walter P. Ruther Online Library at Wayne State University. The audio player was broken on the website, but I figured out a way to downloaded the source audio anyway. It was also very low quality so I put a little effort into remastering it so everyone can enjoy it. Solidarity. -Lina Source: https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/12892 Original Description: A conversation with Elizabeth Gurley Flynn in which she discusses her upbringing and entry into the political scene as the “girl orator,” her organizing efforts and labor defense work on behalf of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.), and the evolution of her political beliefs.

WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE OREOS?!?! :D (Inside joke… listen and you'll understand!) For a discussion on consequences, this one has a lot of laughs. It's important to laugh at ourselves, right? How do we teach our kids consequences that empower them to make better choices? What is the framework around this? AND.. if we haven't been the best with consequences in our home, how do we start now? Great convo all about this but we also touched on: 6 Rules in Creating Consequences. Teaching our kids rights versus privileges. 3 things that will mess it ALL up. This one is meaty... Let's discuss it! Take a listen and meet us on IG! Jonathan's website is HERE. ThriveGuide is HERE.

Another amazing conversation with Jonathan Alderson today! We dive into the topic of feeling frustrated when our kids “just won't listen” to us and how we can find our way back to the joys of parenting again, even with kids who may have more challenging behaviors. How can we adjust our expectations? What are the changes that we can make in our intentions and our attitude that will yield better results for ourselves and our kids? We also discuss the topic of dating our kids and how that can help! Grab your coffee (or wine, no judgment) and come chat with us! Jonathan's website is HERE. ThriveGuide is HERE.

Today we had the pleasure of talking with Jonathan Alderson. Jonathan has a Master's of Education from Harvard and also completed a three-year intensive certification training in autism treatment at the Autism Treatment Center of America. While we could go on and on about his BIO, what we discuss is even MORE important. After working directly with autistic children, Jonathan started to see that so many of the beliefs that we have been sold were not actually the case. Inspired to debunk these myths, Jonathan wrote his book, Challenging the Myths of Autism, where he discusses some of the common myths and how they are incorrect using personal experiences and studies. Today we discuss how we can find what will work best for our child as an individual, as one size does NOT fit all in our lives. Not only that but in WHAT ORDER should we apply the ideal treatments? That is the key and the purpose of ThriveGuide, developed by Jonathan, which we will dive into more in part 2 of this episode. Also touched on in this episode, which is critical, is the intention and the attitude in which we approach therapy and our children. We discuss how the relationship between the teacher/therapist/parent and the child is the CATALYST to learning. Jonathan was kind enough to provide our listeners with a discount code on Thrive Guide!

I reflected on some of my personal experiences as a business owner in this solo episode on Season 3. When I started to look backward through the evolution of The Hub, I identified five steps that I think we took to grow our business and that I have seen mirrored in other businesses. I call them the 5 Steps for Scaling from Entrepreneur to CEO, and in this episode, I talk through them in detail, focusing on growth mindset versus fixed mindset, setting hard boundaries, building systems, how to create a better culture within your team, and how to properly allocate your time as a CEO.
