astrology-a fantastic discussion for "The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast" with Tam Veilleux! Here's how I'd approach answering those questions, keeping your example of Dr. Anthony Metivier in mind, and adding some podcast-ready hashtags and titles:Answering Tam Veilleux's Energy Almanac Questions for "The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast"Host: Granda BillGuest: Tam Veilleux, Creator of The Energy AlmanacQuestion 1: Spend Time Thinking about a leader I respect. List Five Qualities of that person and then pick two skills or attributes to develop in that vein.Leader I Respect: Dr. Anthony MetivierYou've already provided a brilliant foundation with your five qualities, Granda Bill, and I wholeheartedly agree! Dr. Metivier truly embodies these, and they are excellent traits for any leader.My five qualities for Dr. Anthony Metivier are:Passion: His genuine enthusiasm for his work and his commitment to scientific inquiry are palpable. It's not just a job; it's a calling.Devotion: Dr. Metivier demonstrates unwavering dedication to public health and to the scientific process, even in the face of immense scrutiny and pressure.Calm: Through unprecedented challenges, he maintained a remarkably steady demeanor, which was crucial for providing clear, consistent information.Coherence: His ability to synthesize complex scientific data and communicate it in a logical, understandable way to a broad audience is a hallmark of his leadership.Empathy: Despite the scientific rigor, there was always an underlying sense of care and concern for the well-being of individuals and the community at large.Two Skills or Attributes to Develop in that Vein (Inspired by Dr. Anthony Metivier):Skill to Develop: Strategic Communication under Pressure.Why: Dr. Anthony Metivier's ability to maintain calm and coherence while delivering critical information during a crisis was paramount. To develop this, one could practice distilling complex topics into clear, concise messages, and engage in public speaking or media training exercises that simulate high-stakes environments. This isn't just about what you say, but how you say it, especially when emotions are running high.In Dr. Metivier's Vein: This directly ties into his "Calm" and "Coherence" qualities. He consistently conveyed urgency without inducing panic, a delicate balance rooted in strategic communication.Attribute to Develop: Resilient Conviction.Why: Dr. Metivier's "Devotion" and "Passion" were clearly evident, but what truly allowed him to lead effectively was his ability to stand firm in his convictions based on a thorough understanding, even when faced with significant opposition or misinformation. To cultivate this, one needs to deepen their own understanding of their principles, cultivate a strong sense of purpose, and practice staying grounded even when external pressures are intense.In Dr. Metivier's Vein: This attribute blends his "Passion" and "Devotion" with an unshakeable belief in the method, allowing him to navigate adversity with integrity.Question 2: Meditate on the topic of leadership while asking the question, What do I need to know about myself and leadership now?(Granda Bill's Meditation/Reflection)"As I meditate on leadership, particularly through the lens of a leader like Dr. Metivier, the question, 'What do I need to know about myself and leadership now?' This brings me to a realization about my own authentic voice and the importance of compassionate transparency.#TheEnergyAlmanac,#Tam Veilleux,#GrandaBill,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#LeadershipDevelopment,#InspiredLeadership#AuthenticLeadership,#PodcastCommunity,#PersonalGrowth,#SelfReflection,#EnergyWork,#MindfulLeadership,#WellnessJourney,#LeadWithPurpose,

Welcome to our talk on prions and prion diseases. I feel I cannot do this topic justice by just telling you about the terrifying and thankfully rare diseases caused by infectious proteins. So we are going to talk about what a prion is, how humans discovered them, and how scientists and medical professionals identified what they were (relatively recently in fact). This episode specifically deals with Scrapie, a prion disease found in sheep and Familial Fatal Insomnia, a hereditary disease found in humans (though, it may be sporadic in even rarer cases). Both of this fatal illnesses have been around at least a few centuries by now, but were often so rare they were not thought much of or misdiagnosed and forgotten about. Forgotten about until humans got greedy for more and better sheep in the case of Scrapie; for humans, until descendants of "cursed" families began to see familiar and terrifying symptoms popping up all around them, possibly for their own future as well. Imagine an illness that stops you from sleeping until you die. It slowly ravages your body, your mind, and leaves those around you either afraid or distant as they shun you entirely. Let us discuss prions, where they come from, the diseases they cause, and how they cause them. Sweet Dreams, Poison Friends. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

I know we have covered some toxic ghost towns before but there are just too many out there not to bring the subject back up! If you haven't seen the last Toxic Ghost Towns episode, definitely check it out! This time around I chose to discuss a place close to home in South Carolina. "Becca, I though y'all lived in Georgia!" We do, but right next to the Savannah river which connects us to South Carolina. So this is close to us as well. There was once a town called Ellenton, until the 1950s when the government decided it was the perfect place for a new nuclear site. The Savannah River Site was first created to produce materials for nuclear weapons and during its planning, the entire town of Ellenton as well as other nearby communities were forced out with a bit of compensation for their property as determined by the government. New Ellenton was created, where some of the residents would resettle, but they would never forget their old town and how it was basically taken from them, Ellenton has its own dirty history, steeped in racist politics and violence, however, and I could not help but dig into that before discussing the toxic materials left behind when SRS switched roles from nuclear weapons products to research and environmental concerns. We also discuss what was supposed to be a wealthy resort town funded by a newspaper, Times Beach, Missouri. The timing was off during this development nearign the Great Depression, and the town was mainly one of rural and low income housing. It didn't help matters that the location itself was a flood plain. These were not the reasons for the town being evacuated, however and the story of how it became toxic is also one to be learned from. Lastly we travel to Mailuu-Suu in Kyrgyzstan, where multiple uranium and heavy metals dump sites were left. Between the early 1940s-late 1960s, the soviet union mined uranium in mines there using forced labor for much of the time. Once it became less economical, they just left the poorly constructed tailings dams and uranium rock piles sitting there in the open. This area in particular sits on the hillside above the village Mailuu-Suu (currently populated with about 25,000 people). Since this time mutliple earthquakes, landslides, and heavy rainfall even have caused dams to fail and uranium to fall into the river below, contaminating the water, fish, crops, and ultimately the people living there. Illness and cancer rates have increased significantly here and education about avoiding the worst contaminated areas and clean-up of the site is slow going. I mentioned many sites, because along the entire country there are about 92 radioactive mining waste sites in total.Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Grandpa Bill! is quite excited to talk with Tam's about what I am calling her "Energy Sketch" page it is a real gem within her Energy Almanac, offering a visual gateway to the monthly energies. The fact that it runs chronologically from January through December with bold images and characters focuses quite nicely on Energy Healing speaking volumes about her integrated approach, as well as my own. The connection to Janet Hickox's "Astro-Inklings" – which I love, it's a wonderful moniker from(My old marketing days and business days), by the way, "Creative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare Products Distribution" – hopefully further highlights this collaborative spirit! I love that Tam and I tape on the same day she and Janet record "Astro-Inklings", I feel it creates a beautiful synergy, almost like two sides of the same insightful coin. This parallel exploration of energy – one through astrological interpretation and the other through artistic representation – Hopefully offers a richer, more multi-sensory experience for our combined audience?#EnergySketch, #ArtMeetsAstrology, #CreativeHealing, #TamVeilleuxArt, #EnergyAlmanac, #AstroInklings ,#JanetHickox, #CollaborativeCreativity, #HolisticWellness, ,#VisualAstrology, #MonthlyEnergy #GrandpaBill #BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour, #MaineArtists ,#HealingThroughArt #CosmicInspirationEnergy in Bloom: Exploring Tam Veilleux's "Energy Sketch" and Astro-InklingsWhere Art Meets the Cosmos: A Creative Conversation with Grandpa Bill and Tam VeilleuxVisualizing Wellness: Unpacking the "Energy Sketch" in the Energy AlmanacFrom Astro-Inklings to Energy Sketches: A Collaborative Journey of Cosmic InsightThe Art of Energy Healing: Tam Veilleux's Creative Vision on the PodcastTapping into Inner Vision: Grandpa Bill & Tam Explore the "Energy Sketch"Beyond Words: How Art Enhances Astrological Understanding

And Happy Mother's Day to all of our awesome moms out there! We need to talk about what is in the water. Mainly pools, hot tubs, rivers, creeks, lakes, oceans...okay, so all of it. I am specifically bringing to your attention the many icky microbes that can infect you if you are not careful to prevent them while swimming and while on vacation. Many of these (campylobacter, E. coli, Giardia, etc) simply cause gastrointestinal illness...though these can be deadly in severe cases especially those younger than five years of age, the elderly, and those with compromised immunity. There are other's however that can cause deadly pneumonia in just the right circumstances and necrotizing fasciitis and sepsis. People have lost limbs thanks to such microbes as Vibrio and other horrid bacteria lurking in these aquatic environments. Lastly, I want to talk about one of my greatest fears but also one of my favorite topics to discuss: Naegleria fowleri...the brain eating amoeba. This nasty little amoebas, if allowed, can make their way up the nose, and all the way into the brain where they will quickly start eating away and destroying tissue. It is usually always fatal and only a handful of people around the world have survived. Like Vibrio, this is thankfully a rare occurrence. Still, I would avoid getting warmer fresh water up your nose...or using tap water for your Neti pots...it could literally come back to bite you...in the brain. That was lame, I know.

We are back this week (a little late, forgive me) with an episode on some aquatic overgrowths that can just ruin a vacation...or seafood. In all seriousness, such bloom of these particular algae or cyanobacteria may lead to fish kills, the deaths of aquatic mammals and other wildlife, and the contamination of shellfish and seafood which causes illness in those eating them (birds, and yes, even us). Severe red tides have caused respiratory illnesses in some just being near the source and there are some algae species out there that are destructive to entire ecosystems. Along with being deadly to wildlife (and sometimes humans), these blooms cost various industries, including seafood and tourist industries, millions of dollars. So I want to introduce to you some of the worst of the offenders that honestly start off innocent enough until they start overgrowing and produce toxins that can cause everything from GI issues to neurological syptoms, paralysis, and death due to respiratory failure. While these toxins directly affect the wildlife where they grow (this includes depleting the oxygen of the environment as well as poisoning it), it can harm predators and humans as they ingest shellfish or seafood in general. Shellfish poisoning may not sound like more than simple food poisoning (which itself is not always simple) but we are discussing a few different kind here including neurotoxic and paralytic shellfish poisoning among others. Also, I would be wrong not to include cyanobacteria in this episode, because, while it is not algae itself, it does compare in how it blooms, produces toxins, and affects entire ecosystems.

I wanted to bring you something a bit different today, but not too different, do not fear. I want to talk about the Dust Bowl and how it effected those living in that region as well as those outside of it as well. We also need to discuss what led to the catastrophe and we can't do that without talking about a few other issues as well, such as the Great Depression, because this was happening at the same time. When it rains, it pours, except this fun little saying can't apply literally (as I would like it to), because part of the creation of the Dust Bowl and the resulting dust storms that devastated the area and choked anything that breathed was drought. A devastating drought right at the start of an economic depression? Oh, and prohibiton was still in effect for some of this time as well, so if you just needed a drink to calm your nerves? It could be deadly because it was likely toxic wood alcohol. What were these dust storms like? We have eyewitness accounts and know the science a bit better these days behind how this happened and how it would have affected not just the landscape but those living there. Drought and depression brought malnutrition and hunger. Livestock wasted away and died either from hunger/thirst or the dust itself asphyxiating them. Whole families were affected as well. The dust could not be avoided in some areas, and those constantly in this environment often became ill with deadly dust pneumonia, debilitating and chronic lung illnesses and scarring of the lungs. Just how far did this go and how did humanity overcome it? Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Larry Weber talks about more animals emerging in the Northland and the early signs of a greener landscape
Ruth was born in Paris, France, in the 1960's, to parents who were in the armed forces and were stationed there.For most of her career, she has been a Civil Servant, working predominantly investigating theft and fraud and latterly harassment, bullying and discrimination. She is also an accredited and very experienced Workplace Mediator.She has a fascination for the paranormal which has lasted a lifetime - and read extensively on the subject looking for answers after living in two seriously haunted houses with poltergeist activity in her formative years. Her investigative mind means she is fascinated by the endless possible answers to the questions posed by people experiencing phenomena, and dreamed for years of writing her own books on the subject.When she partially retired in 2016, she found the time to start writing, and has so far produced three works on the subject - The Ghosts of Marston Vale January 2017, The Almanac of British Ghosts December 2017 and The Roadmap of British Ghosts January 2019. By interviewing witnesses herself, she hopes to add to the data available so that someone, somewhere, one day, will be able to answer the question - "Do ghosts exist?

Last week, we discussed a few vegetables with toxic parts or traits. We also talked about houseplants and a big toxin we went over was oxalic acid. But I want to dive into some flowery poisons. So of course we need to talk about the pretty plants in many flower gardens that are actually poisonous. We discuss various bulb plants like daffodils and tulips, of course, as well as the simple weedy flowers, shrubs and vining plants that are toxic to both humans and animals. Our Greek and Roman mythology fans will love our discussion on daffodils/narcissus, because there are just so many stories concerning it. We also have stories of those who have survived such poisonings (and a few tragic stories as well, unfortunately). Oh, and some how, Audrey Hepburn makes it in this one? Come find out how and also learn what plants not to put in your mouth or allow children or pets around unmonitored. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

This episode was originally published on April 23, 2021 For updates on Elizabeth Cline's advocacy and policy work since this episode was recorded, go to her website at www.elizabethclinebooks.com Our guest this week is Elizabeth Cline, a New York-based author, journalist, and expert on consumer culture, fast fashion, sustainability and labor rights in the apparel industry. She is the author of Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, which was published in 2012, and which laid the foundation for the modern global ethical and sustainable fashion movement. Her most recent book, The Conscious Closet, published in 2019, describes how consumers can transform the apparel industry and change the world for the better by making more informed decisions about what they wear every day. In this episode, Elizabeth inspires slow fashion enthusiasts to move beyond the response of merely modifying their purchasing decisions, to come together with other individuals in the wider community to impact policy change through social activism. Elizabeth discusses campaigns such as Pay Up Fashion for direct relief for garment workers that have not been paid by American companies during the pandemic, and the Garment Workers Protection Act that will provide minimum wage for garment workers in California. Elizabeth encourages consumers to embrace their civic right in bringing the malpractices and inequities of the fashion industry to light, holding brands accountable for their unethical practices and therefore affecting real change in this broken system. 1:30 - It's Fashion Revolution week! 10:00 - Elizabeth introduces herself 11:00 - Has there been much change in the last two decades in the fashion industry? 20:00 - Why are corporations not paying their factories? 28:00 - The problems in your own closet 38:00 - The PayUp Campaign 42:00 - What does The Good Dirt mean to you? 50:00 - How Farmers in West Texas inspired Elizabeth Things Mentioned: Fashion Revolution Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth Cline The Conscious Closet by Elizabeth Cline Lady Farmer Essential Collection Line and Tow Line at Lady Farmer Grace Brian The Twilight of the Ethical Consumer article PayUp Fashion SB 62 - The Garment Worker Protection Act Elizabeth Cline Instagram PayUp Fashion Instagram Greenwashing article for Patagonia Another Tomorrow The ALMANAC

"In my whole life, I have known no wise people over a broad subject matter area who didn't read all the time. None. Zero. You'd be amazed at how much Warren reads; at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I'm a book with a couple of legs sticking out." - Charlie MungerThe Investor Series rolls on today, but with a bit of a different look and feel. Our good friend and usual co-host Aleck Arena will not be joining in on this conversation. Instead, our very own Jay Doran will be flying solo and discussing one of the great great minds of the modern investing world, Mr. Charles T. Munger. When it comes to investing, there are few voices that ring out louder and clearer and have had more of an impact in the space than Charlie Munger. You don't come to be Warren Buffet's right hand for decades without knowing a thing or two. Today, Jay is discussing some of the finer points of Mr. Munger's work and why he will always be remembered as a titan in his industry. We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

We need to discuss some poisons found in the garden! My goal was to go into the poisons that can be found in the vegetable garden as well as in the flower garden, but I have to make it two parts because I somehow never realize how long I can talk about stuff! Also, Adam has capped my research at 5,000 words per episode as I struggle with stopping anything. Therefore, we are discussing some poisons that can be found in the vegetable gardens around the world. Rhubarb leaves, solanine in potatoes (at least those not stored properly), Cassava, ginkgo biloba seeds, cashews, and more. We have some fun (and some more tragic) stories behind each of these as well as the history and folklore of their growth and use. For instance, we need to talk about that time in WWI when the British government encouraged their citizens to eat rhubarb leaves while food was scarce or why it is not okay to munch on houseplants (I hope we all knew that one, but hey, make sure they are out of reach of children or pets if toxic).How about the guy who worked hard to make the potato popular in France? Did you know potatoes were actually once banned there because it was believed they could cause leprosy or plague? Well, obviously they do not, but when green they can make you very sick.Cassava! It is a staple crop in parts of South America and in Africa, but when not processed correctly, it can be deadly as they contain cyanogenic glycosides. So how do so many people eat it? And have there been any recent cases of poisoning from cassava? Unfortunately, yes.Have you ever seen a cashew tree or its fruit? A story from the Philippines gives a fun explanation for why it looks the way it does. Also, before being processed for eating, they are also poisonous, covered with the same substance that causes the itchy reaction when you touch poison ivy.How about a story concerning the six Gingko trees that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and how their seeds can still cause accidental poisonings today. Also, that Ginkgo leaf extract some people are taking? According to some recent studies, it may not even be helpful. Let's talk about it!Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

This episode delves into the concept of slow living as a continuous practice that requires constant effort and intentionality. Mary & Emma discuss with Shannon Hayes, author of 'Radical Homemakers' and 'Redefining Rich,' about her journey in slow living, holistic farming, and creating a life-serving economy. Hayes shares her experiences of managing a family farm and restaurant, the backlash from her first book, and the importance of a quality of life statement. The conversation also explores how redefining wealth beyond monetary income can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life. 00:00 Introduction to Slow Living 01:37 A Rich Life in the Garden 02:34 Interview with Shannon Hayes 03:49 Defining True Wealth 04:48 Quality of Life Statements 10:32 Non-Monetary Income 15:23 Shannon Hayes' Background 17:36 The Creative Journey 22:51 Legacy Work and Overcoming Resentment 26:58 Reflecting on Radical Homemakers 28:13 Exploring Power Dynamics in Families 29:14 The Impact of Misinterpretation 30:22 Facing Public Perception and Personal Growth 38:06 Navigating Employment and Self-Employment 45:19 Understanding Life-Serving vs. Extractive Economies 49:03 The Concept of Slow Living 50:30 The Good Dirt: Metaphor and Reality 52:47 Where to Find More from Shannon ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In this powerful episode, we journey into the heart of April's Libra Full Moon, a radiant Supermoon also sometimes known as the Pink Moon — a name rooted in early spring blooms and the return of life to the land. The Old Farmer's Almanac, which began publishing full moon names in the 1930s, notes that some Eastern Native American tribes call April's full moon the "pink moon" due to its connection with early spring wildflowers.Occurring within the closing energies of the Eclipse Portal, this Full Moon is a cosmic invitation to pause, rebalance, and rise into soul-aligned clarity.✨ This Libra Full Moon shines a luminous light on imbalance — gently illuminating where we've been overextending, over-pleasing, or losing touch with our truth in the name of harmony. Through reflection and presence, we're offered a rare moment to reset, release what no longer serves, and reclaim inner equilibrium.
Larry Weber talks about the spring migration and the onset of longer days

I left you with a bit of a riddle last week as to today's topic and as you can see, we are discussing Rabies! This is an older virus (belonging to the genus of Lyssaviruses—named for the minor Greek goddess of rage and fury, Lyssa). We are focusing on the history, mythology, pathology and signs and symptoms of the disease as well as how the first rabies vaccine was developed back in 1885 and historical cures that were not effective and a little on the weird side. From stories of “Mad Dogs” to the use of “Madstones,” we are taking a walk through history on how rabies has been a formidable and fearsome enemy to humanity and wildlife alike. We will take a look at how the disease spreads and how long it may take for symptoms to show. Hopefully, for you they never do, because once symptoms show, it is nearly 100% fatal. Less than 20 people have survived rabies and we will talk over some of these cases as well. With the proper prophylactic vaccines we have now, even post exposure, it is nearly 100% preventable. We will go over what animals carry it and are affected by it and what to look for there. I will surely rant about not approaching wildlife in general if you are not experienced as a handler or whatever, because rabid or not some animals will not hesitate to defend themselves, their young, or their territory. Also, if you have any sort of encounter with an animal known to carry rabies, it is important to seek prophylactic treatment, bite or no bite. There have been cases of victims being infected without being bit, and you may not even know you have been anyway by some of these animals. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

This episode was originally aired March 25, 2022 Join this "fruitful" and enlightening conversation with tree crops specialist, horticultural historian and agroforestry practitioner Eliza Greenman as she explains the evolution of the apple, horticultural tree crop history and shares her love for fruit exploring. A creator of niche products, Eliza is passionate owner of charcuterie company, HogTree, and is working towards the goal of creating orchard systems that function symbiotically with livestock to replace costly livestock feed. After a time pruning apple trees on an island off the coast of Maine, paired with her time abroad in Germany in apprenticeship with an apple grower and a formative research trip to Asia, the homeland of fruits and nuts, Eliza found her calling and became single- mindedly obsessed with apples. Now she is an advocate for natural wildlife practices and indigenous systems, stressing the importance of eating in season and shying away from global commodities. The conversation includes various types of fruit and nut trees such as pawpaws, mulberry trees, hickory walnuts, acorns, autumn olive and the infamous Bradford Pear, exploring all the ways these beautiful gifts can be nurtured and enjoyed.

This episode has taken some time to get here, and I apologize. We had to re-record everything because things just went crazy. It is our first regular episode that is available on video, after all, and of course there were tech issues we did not foresee. However, here we are and I am excited to bring you an explanation of an illness you may have seen recently in the news, especially in relation to the deaths of the actor Gene Hackman, his wife, and dog. While Gene did have advanced Alzheimer's disease, his the autopsy of his wife, Betsy Arakawa shows that she died of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. This is a rare, but potentially deadly, illness spread by the droppings, urine, or saliva of rodents, mainly deer mice here in America. While in other parts of the world such as Europe and Asia, it results in kidney problems and failure, the strain typically found in the Americas causes pulmonary/respiratory distress and higher rates of death as a result. There have been outbreaks of this illness such as that in the 1990s among the Four Corners region of the US, and we go into detail about that as well. So where could Betsy Arakawa have contracted this illness? Let's discuss and avoid unhealthy assumptions, shall we? Just FYI, I wanted to discuss more than one zoonotic disease this episode, but Adam has been holding me accountable to not overdoing it. So yeah, we are going to be discussing another virus next week that is more “furious.” It is older and more well known and even has ties with Greek Mythology.

This episode was originally aired April 26, 2024 In this conversation with best selling author and activist Paul Hawken, we discuss the reframing of our relationship with nature by moving away from the concept of "othering" ourselves, and more towards the integration of our interconnectedness. Paul speaks of the cultural disconnect, the role of language in shaping our perception of the environment, and how crucial it is to engage directly with the natural world. Hawken's vast experience, including starting the first natural food company (Erewhon) in the U.S. and working with Martin Luther King Jr., as well as his involvement in founding Regeneration and NEXUS, are all a result of a lifetime of pursuing solutions to our climate crisis. He shares how he views carbon and climate change through a lens of interconnectedness and flow rather than as isolated problems. He also talks about his upcoming book, 'Carbon, the Book of Life,' the significance of soil regeneration, societal shifts and the connection between joy and sustainability as well as the power of individual and community action in the face of environmental challenges.
In this episode of the Good Dirt Podcast, hosts Emma and Mary return from winter break with a special interview featuring repeat guest Paul Hawken, the acclaimed environmentalist, author, and activist. They discuss Hawken's new book, 'Carbon, the Book of Life,' which explores the multifaceted role of carbon in our universe, challenging the prevailing view of carbon as merely a climatic culprit. Hawken shares his profound insights on the interconnectedness of all life and how shifting our perception of carbon can foster a deeper understanding of our relationship with where we live. Key themes include the limitations of current climate messaging, the emotional and intellectual journey of understanding carbon, and the need for a holistic approach to resolving environmental crises.
In this gripping episode of Hustle and Flowchart, we delve into the remarkable journey of Eric Jorgenson, the mastermind behind "The Almanac of Naval Ravikant." Eric, now the CEO of Scribe Media, shares an extraordinary tale of revival from chaos, rebuilding trust and redefining how books are crafted and self-made authors are created. If you've ever considered writing a book or are intrigued by pathways to personal and professional transformation, this episode is a goldmine. Buckle up as we explore Eric's world, where opportunities are seized, and traditional publishing norms are shattered, all while drawing inspiration from the wisdom of Naval Ravikant.Eric's Role at Scribe MediaEric Jorgenson serves as CEO of Scribe Media, where he juggles different projects. He admits that managing these tasks is challenging but focuses on synergies rather than distractions. Opportunity well handled, he says, leads to more opportunity.The Story of ScribeScribe Media was co-founded by Tucker Max and Zach Obront. Tucker, a well-known author, originally used his talents to help others navigate the confusing publishing world. Scribe grew rapidly, but when the original founders left, mismanagement led to bankruptcy. Eric, having published his first book with Scribe, found himself caught up in the chaos. He felt a responsibility to save the company that helped him so much.Trust Building Post-BankruptcyEric emphasizes that trust can't be asked for, only earned. The focus for Scribe is now to do stellar work and let that speak for itself. He believes in rebuilding trust by doing what you say you will do, consistently. This isn't about asking for trust, but rather earning it through actions and reliability.The Model of Scribe MediaScribe Media takes the opposite approach of traditional publishing. Unlike big publishers that offer advances and retain most rights and royalties, Scribe charges a flat rate. Authors make the creative decisions, keep all rights, and retain all royalties. This means more royalties for the author in the long run, especially if you sell many books, like David Goggins. Instead of relying on media appearances, books now are sold primarily on platforms like Amazon, highlighting the significance of authors owning their work.The Importance of Books in a Digital WorldA book can act as a powerful marketing tool. It allows professionals to demonstrate their expertise and connect with potential clients. For instance, Paul Franco used his book to reach a niche audience, leading directly to business opportunities. A well-written book goes beyond mere sales. It offers credibility and establishes authority.AI in Book WritingAI can assist in the initial stages of writing but isn't perfect for long-form prose. Scribe helps authors by interviewing them, pulling out stories and key points to capture the book's essence. While AI can pose as a support tool, Eric believes that human touch is still pivotal for creating truly impactful content. AI offers options like proofreading and brainstorming and can accelerate the drafting process.Naval Ravikant's InfluenceNaval's perspectives deeply influence Eric. He appreciates Naval's view that happiness is a skill rather than just a choice. Eric has adopted these nuggets into his daily life, like appreciating simple moments. However, he also notes areas where he might diverge from Naval, particularly around the responsibilities we hold towards other people's happiness.The CEO Journey and Personal FulfillmentEric has held multiple titles, including author and investor, and has learned to focus on being continuously “in motion.” There's no finish line, only a state of being content and peaceful amidst activity. He wishes to become better at balancing productivity and peace, aiming for a fulfilling life journey rather than just reaching a destination.In this episode,
On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Jeffrey Hirsch to the show. Jeffrey is the editor-in-chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac – a book that has been published annually since 1967 and that analyzes stock trends, patterns, and cycles. He is also the editor of the Almanac Investor newsletter, which releases monthly and provides strategic investment advice. Jeffrey kicks off the show by describing how he got his start interpreting data and how he eventually ended up working on the Almanac. That leads to a discussion about what has changed in the Almanac over the decades versus what has stayed the same – in terms of both human behavior and content. Jeffrey also talks about President Donald Trump shaking things up, what has happened historically in postelection years, and where he believes the market could go from here. (1:39) Next, Jeffrey reviews the basics of risk control that all the best investors follow and which fundamentals his team looks at to evaluate stocks. He also explains what traders usually get wrong about the moving average convergence divergence ("MACD") indicator and the Santa Claus rally. Moving to the topic of seasonality, Jeffrey explores the flaws in the traditional "sell in May and go away" adage, what the "Christmas in July" phenomenon is, and how market patterns changed after 1949. (18:09) Finally, Jeffrey discusses what led his father, Yale Hirsch, to originally publish the Almanac and how a background in music can help investors to recognize historical cycles and patterns. He then finishes with his opinion on 5,700 being an important level for the S&P 500 Index and gives tips on how you can fight against confirmation bias. (35:05)
