Nowhere is promotion more delineated and integral to an organisation than in the armed forces, where the tradition and structures have deep routes. To get an insight into how promotion works in the military we spoke with former British Army officer Andy Stanley. Andy spent 21 years in the Education and Training Services branch, as it’s now called, of the British Army reaching the rank of major, before leaving to become a successful leadership behavioural coach and trainer. As Andy explains, the clarity and centrality of the promotion process for soldiers and officers has definite advantages. However, it also comes with the risk of potentially over-dominating how someone thinks about career planning, causing them to perhaps miss out on exciting and fulfilling opportunities because they don't tick the right boxes for promotion. https://www.talkingleaders.com

Our Kaldheim Cube Survey is open! Please take a few minutes to let us know what you're testing in your cube from the new set. As Andy tinkers with two lower powered and novel cubes, he finds himself presented with a question he hasn't actually confronted in depth before: what percentage of a cube should be removal? Or countermagic? Or cantrips and card draw? With higher-powered cubes you're often constrained by the available card pool, and end up playing as much of these effects as you can without sacrificing individual card quality, but at lower power levels, the density is entirely up to you. In preparation for the discussion, Andy tallies up all of these different “bread and butter” effects in his and Anthony's main cubes, as well as the Degenerate Micro Cube, and our hosts discuss the results and what it says about their respective environments — or whether it really says anything at all. View the table with all the values discussed in this episode on our website. Our listener submitted pack 1, pick 1 this week is Max's Junk Cube, submitted by listener Quinn. Thanks, Quinn!

Andy Sack has been a technology entrepreneur, angel investor and venture capitalist for 25 years — and is one of the godfathers of the Seattle startup community. He was managing director for Techstars Seattle, founder and executive chairman for Lighter Capital, and cofounder of seed stage fund Founder's Co-op. He participated in the first Techstars Boston Startup Weekend and was so moved by the experience that he decided to run a Techstars Startup Weekend in Seattle. As Andy says, “(I gave) a talk to the Techstars Boston class and it was supposed to be one hour. Three hours later after talking and answering questions, I left the building, and I was moved to tears.”He rallied the venture capital community in Seattle to support entrepreneurs through Techstars, creating a vibrant startup ecosystem that didn't previously exist. Three different unicorn startups (valued over a billion dollars) came out of Andy's 2011 Class of Techstars Seattle.

This week John is joined by regular Tony and Andy from the Press and Journal. We kick off the show by discussing the sacking of Stuart Kettlewell and the announcement that John Hughes is returning to management. Andy gives us a great insight in to the situation at Ross County. Celtic clinched the quadruple treble though you wouldn't think it as Tony thinks there are still major concerns at the club. It's a remarkable achievement and one that will be tough to match or beat. The Premiership action is discussed briefly as Rangers stretch their lead at the top while down the bottom end of the league it is very tight. As Andy is on we get him to represent us in the Lower League predictions game where Ally Graham has a 5-3 lead. The podcast concludes with some fun stuff in relation to Christmas.

This one ends in a total train wreck. Having been awake for several hours, I decided to record a podcast. Keelan Andy, being the benevolent guy that he is; graciously accepted my offer to be my co-pilot...he may have regretted that decision. Perhaps you will as well when or after listening to this. I love you all. As Andy said to me at the end: take care of yourselves.

In this first episode of the second series, Andy puts himself on the other side of the microphone and talks to journalist and broadcaster Jane Moore about his five-year crisis. A high-profile scandal which unravelled his life and led to a spell in prison. Andy talks about confronting his mistakes and the strategies he deployed to cope and recover. As Andy says, having heard so many crisis stories from others on the podcast, he thought it was only fair that he now shares his. Andy's Crisis Cures: 1. Charles Dickens and The Pickwick Papers: “The old marketing slogan for The News of the World was ‘all human life is here’ and that’s true of Dickens. It’s definitely true of The Pickwick Papers because you’ve got politics, you’ve got the law, you’ve got prison, you’ve got journalism. Everything is there in that book and it’s a cracking read.” 2. Ben Howard – Keep Your Head Up: “Music has also been incredibly important for me and for the family. If I had to choose one [song] it would be Keep Your Head Up by Ben Howard which is a bit of a family anthem.” 3. Château Musar: “It’s what I send to every podcast guest when it’s appropriate… it’s from the Lebanon and I chose it because it is really tasty and also because it is liquid proof that there is good to come from crisis.” Links: Website: www.crisiswhatcrisis.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/crisiswhatcrisispodcast Stream/Buy ‘Allies’ by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk

Andy Fitzgerald Andy Fitzgerald is an information architect who focuses on content for digital experiences. He helps organizations bridge the gaps between their users' human needs and the constraints and requirements of their digital systems. A website or other digital product will always have an information architecture. Being purposeful and intentional about its design yields better digital experiences. As Andy says, "Information architecture always happens – either by design or by default." Andy and I talked about: his background in information architecture, interaction design, and user research his definition of structured content: content that makes the relationships between its fundamental units clear and machine-readable the importance of focusing on humans - information architecture is a human-centered design practice - while harnessing the power of computers to serve them how information architects make content findable and understandable the importance of orienting yourself in the domain you're operating in as an information architect - and the important distinctions between domains and, for example, a website knowledge graphs and graph databases and how they differ from the tabular data formats that CMSs typically use an intermediate narrative/syntactic layer in content structure, between simple tabular data and semantically organized graph data, that can be organized serially to tell a story the complexity inherent in natural language, e.g. "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana." the standards that underlie the creation of knowledge graphs how his Ph.D. in literature gave him the academic skills needed to consume advanced information in this quickly evolving field how machine learning and natural language processing are advancing the modern Semantic Web how responsive web design permits different ways of expressing messages the story behind his recent article, "Delivering Information architecture" how separating the creation of a classification scheme from its expression as a website navigation scheme can help keep stakeholders aligned and discussions harmonious how "an artifact is the end 1% of the other 99% that's thinking through the sets of problems" how "information architecture always happens - it either happens by design, or by default" how standards like ANSI and ISO guide his professional work and lend legitimacy to our craft how information architecture acts as an adapter, a bridge between two fundamentally different systems: human users, who are associative, heuristic, and approximate, and digital systems, which are enumerative, exhaustive, and exact his article, Delivering Information Architecture Andy's Bio Andy Fitzgerald is an independent information architect and digital experience designer. He works with organizations of all sizes to create elegant solutions to complex information problems. Prior to forming his own practice, Andy held design and director positions at Deloitte Digital, Anthro-Tech, and Frog, where he tackled the problem of effective communication in complex information spaces for a wide range of client organizations in healthcare, education, financial services, retail, entertainment, and transportation.

Video Here’s the video version of our conversation: https://youtu.be/ZP_Qjlt73oE Podcast Intro Transcript Content professionals face a vexing problem when we try to organize information for digital media. The humans we serve want engaging stories and quick solutions. The machines that help us serve our human users are pedantic know-it-alls. The discipline of information architecture helps bridge the gap between these conflicting approaches. In this episode, Andy Fitzgerald shows how information architects use data, stories,

THE MOUNTAIN is a dark, hypnotic and surreal satire about repression and conformity set against the 1950’s “golden age” of American male domination. (Tye Sheridan, READY PLAYER ONE, MUD), whose mother was sent to an asylum years ago, is an introverted young photographer at loose ends, ignored by his father (cult actor Udo Kier). After the death of his father, Andy is befriended by renowned lobotomist Dr. Wallace Fiennes (Jeff Goldblum, THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, JURASSIC PARK) and joins him on a tour to promote the doctor’s recently-debunked procedure. As Andy increasingly identifies with the asylum’s patients, he falls in love with a rebellious young woman, Susan (Hannah Gross, “Mindhunter”), and encounters the burgeoning New Age movement of the West. Also starring Denis Lavant (HOLY MOTORS). Director and co-writer Rick Alverson (ENTERTAINMENT, THE COMEDY) joins us for a conversation on the subversive performances of Goldblum and Sheridan and the ways his harrowing, brilliant film cuts to the core of savage male brutality in the guise of “science.” For news and updates go to: kinolorber.com/The Mountain Rick Alverson Productions Rick Alverson's film production - madebedproductions.com

It was very sad to see the brutal attack that Andy received at the hands of Antifa thugs. As Andy’s friends it was very hard to see this incident take place an not be able to do anything to help him.

Tonight I was joined in the studio by James and Will from Osmium Guillotine. They joined us just ahead of their latest gig, happening this Saturday (22nd) at the Cart & Horses in Stratford, which will be followed by their appearance in the grand final of this year’s Metal 2 The Masses event at Colchester’s Soundhouse on June 28th.

In this week’s discussion, photographer Greg Lawson takes Andy through his museum-like gallery in Sedona, Arizona, to explore the fundamentals of his philosophy on human nature. This is a departure from the typical episode, released on The Wedding Biz, in that Greg is not an event industry photographer. As Andy says, this is an unusually grounding conversation which he and so many of us need to have from time to time in our hectic lives. Our conversation with Greg is unlike any you’d heard with a traditional photographer. Greg got his first camera when he was 14 and considers himself a naturalist and discoverer at heart. He will leave his home and on a whim, for one to four weeks at a time, to simply drive, experience new cultures, and photograph whatever speaks to him. Greg is on a mission to share the positive side of the world with others, and photography helps him achieve that goal. His latest project, “The Principle Movement,” emerged from the idea that principles—like empathy, integrity, loyalty—are the basis for our positivity. He believes a greater focus on principles would allow for a more just society. More than anything, he highlights the beauty of human nature, and why people and animals at their core are the same.

For a business to be truly successful, it requires executives who excel at managing their employees and, according to Andy Singer, employees who excel at managing their executives. Andy is the founder and CEO of Singer Executive Development, a Florida consultancy that trains both executives and employees on ways to maximize their performance, including managing each other well. As Andy tells host and reputation coach Dean Rotbart, employees who “manage up” are not suck ups – they’re savvy career strategists who understand that when their bosses look good, their career prospects look even better.   Photo: Andy Singer, Singer Executive DevelopmentPosted: March 4, 2019Monday Morning Run Time: 36:11

Andy Lennox started his career as a ‘KP’, a kitchen porter, peeling potatoes.  When he was  21, he teamed up with two friends to create Koh Thai, a restaurant in Dorset, offering authentic Thai cooking with a South of France style of service.  As Andy put it, they ‘knew nothing and learned on the trot’ –  only realising  6 months in that they needed tills, rather than paper to relay orders to the kitchen and the bar. Soon the pace picked up to a gallop, as the Koh Thai concept took off and 11 more Kohs opened in Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset… It was great, but there were growing pains, as you’ll discover - like the fact that a deal is never sealed until the signature’s on the dotted line… 10 years on, Andy is onto his next concept, ‘Zim Braai’: the earthy, smokey slow cooked oxtail and wild boar potjies…bunny chows, curries in a bun…and ‘braais’ – barbeques that bring people together.

LTGL 012 Andy Imhoff Andy is host of Boost, Booze and BBQ and Pardon My Fork podcasts.Andy parted out a race car and had some money that needed an outlet. He had raced and even has trophies from doing that. He got tired of waiting for someone to contact him for an interview on a podcast and started his own. He did lots of research and found that “precious few items” would provide professional quality. He started in February of 2016. His most popular episodes were about food and it has grown from there. It keeps gaining attraction and followers and getting more popular all the time.When talking with people about food, it’s visceral. It’s so tied in centrally with our brains – sights, smells, touch, sounds – it’s all so integral. Food is ingrained in us because it is so vital to life. Most people congregate around where the food is. Sales tip – be near the food and you’ll be around the people.As Andy says, “Food for thought and knowledge for life!”He is hardest on himself. Most people are. “But it resonates so much with me. I thought it might be short term, I could sell my equipment and move on. And now I find I am shoulder deep in a journey to be more fully committed.” It’s time for me to do that. He was an 80 percenter. He is leaving that behind him now. No longer a status quo guy because it is a ridiculous self-fulfilling prophecy. Depression, crippling depression, was a part of his past. He could accomplish things but it stayed in his life. He wanted to be happy. Not for the sake of being happy, it just wasn’t enough. He felt accomplishments left a bitter taste in his mouth. This is why I am so drawn to food. It’s such an experience of touch and feel. For instance, fire allows me to step out of a crisis. As Kim said, it is a form of meditation.The smell, the sound, the heat of a wood fire brings back all the sensory and innate memories of this experience. Andy says that a great team building exercise is build a fire and cook a steak over it. Each person has their own steak. It is often done in corporate parking lots today.Kim tells us about an experience she and her husband had about cooking steaks at the end of sticks over the fire. Then they ate the steaks caveman style. It was a memorable bonding experience.Andy reminds us that about 60 years ago, people switched to indoor cooking. It was natural to cook outside over a wood fire.Andy was invited to a massive event and opportunity. His wife insisted that they go. She overrode his self-denial and they went to the WFC (World Food Champs) event. It was a fantastic event. They became the last minute sou chefs. It worked for them because they are super competitive. And his parent s had a restaurant.He relates a memory where he started the grill on fire. Someone was screaming, ”Fire. Fire” Instead of using a fire extinguisher, he leaned in and blew the fire out! Much to the chagrin of his eyebrows.We ended up with 3rd place in the competition. Usually first timers don’t do this well. We went to the final round and got 10th place. He explains the low placement being due to using a tortilla instead of a hamburger bun.His “inner ham” came out. He jumped in front of the camera every chance he got.For his show, he doesn’t do a lot of prep. He loves to explore the art of conversation. It makes for an organic conversation. Kim and Andy have fun, entertain and inspire. And shift perspectives.Conversations should be embraced and not avoided. Andy says that he has found that his food show has allowed people to seek out the people that know what they are doing and are hands on. Being an independent food journalist means a lot to Andy. If it’s important to Andy, it shows.Duck meat is one of the most underutilized proteins. It takes the smoke so well. Smoke it on the second rack in the smoker and capture the fat and the liquid runoff. It is amazing. Make your rice with it. Use the liquid and mix with milk – coconut milk, salt, pepper, chives, etc. It is so delicious. One recommendation is Duck Char. Their product is astounding. They sell the duck breasts.

As Andy unwinds after a long day, he wonders why Uber is not available in Vancouver and thinks its because taxi companies makes large political contributions and stop politicians from actually doing their job. As Andy makes herbal tea, he shares his taxi cab horror story and thinks that the best way for Uber to start operating in Vancouver is to give BC politicians some "hush money". Later on in the show, Andrew shares that he finds Justin Bieber really hot, though Andy isn't digging Hailey Baldwin all that much. Maybe in a threesome. Bieber's scruffy hair is doing it for him. Music by A$AP Rocky, "Sundress".

When Andy was handed Moby Dick in high school, as he stared at this startlingly thick book, his teacher told the class to dive in - they'd never get anywhere if they didn't dive right in. As Andy considers the eleven disciples, hearing the Great Commission for the first time, wondering how on earth they could ever complete something truly impossible - yet the church exists today because of their willingness to simply dive in.

Finding a way to stand out in a crowded market place is essential if you want to achieve outstanding results on a regular basis. So, in part 2 of my conversation with Andy Hoyne, we cover how to grow your development business, create a company that stands out and nurture a crowd of loyal followers. Andy has been working in and around the property sector for the last 25 years. "Why shouldn't property developers be comfortable expecting a 30% profit margin?" Andy Hoyne I mentioned in the last episode that you would have a chance to win Andy's beautiful book the Place Economy that showcases great projects, developments and case studies from around the world, valued at $200. It is a gorgeous book, chock full of ideas and inspiration for any developer, and Andy will mention during the interview how you can get your hands on it for free, so keep your ears peeled for that! In part 1 of the interview with Andy Hoyne we covered the importance of having a point of difference, how you can mitigate risk through innovation, and the 'must do' marketing activities for developer’s on a budget, so if you missed that then go back to episode 47 and take a listen. I have some great conversations coming up with some really interesting people and I can't wait to bring them to you, including my next episode, which I think leads on perfectly from my discussion with Andy Hoyne, about how you can become a billionaire property developer. If that sounds interesting to you then tune in, as I think you will be inspired by what we cover, it certainly got me fired up. Anyway, that will be the next episode of the show, so keep your ears out for that one! I really enjoyed that chat with Andy and would love to continue the conversation with him one day soon. If you have any case studies that you want to send through to me to go in the running to win a copy of Andy's beautiful Place Economy book valued at $200 then send them to justin@propertydeveloperpodcast.com and I will send them on to Andy for his review and to select a winner. Lessons for real estate developers So, here are three lessons I took away from my chat with Andy: 1. Property developers will benefit if they keep growing I enjoyed how Andy said investing in your organisation or yourself is a great way to combat risk. By having effective processes, new services, and new ways of thinking you can actually help mitigate or eliminate risks. Continuing to grow, personally and commercially, will keep your mind fresh, your business growing, and help to maintain your drive and inspiration. As Andy mentioned, the source of all profit is risk, so if you can reduce your risk then you can potentially boost your margins. So what things are you doing in the next 12 months to grow your brain and stay inspired? 2. Property developers will benefit from hiring people who are great at their roles I regularly hear how great businesses are built by people who recognise that they need talented people around them. For some people this is a challenge because they want to be the smartest person in the room, or the one calling all the shots, but if you are prepared to surround yourself with bright, talented people who are best in class, and manage them well, you can really take your business to stratospheric levels. And don't forget Andy's tip to hire slow and fire quickly! 3. Real estate developers can build a business that people want to follow If you would love to build a business that has loyal followers then give some serious thought to your purpose and how you provide value. We will be covering more of this in the next episode about becoming a billionaire property developer. Here's a few questions that Andy threw up: How can you be different in a way that makes people want to associate with you or connect with you? How can you deliver something that is better than anyone else? How are you going to deal with people? How can you come up with ideas and projects that re...

Executive sales trainer David Reeser visits the show to take the fear out of selling. He shares his thoughts on the mindset required to have helpful sales conversations without fear. We discuss his Victory Mindset concepts and get to role-play a sales conversation that follows a 4-Step process anyone can follow in their business.   While sales is applicable to any step on the The Pronto Path, the fear of sales conversations holds many back from growing their company. In this episode, David shares different ways to think about sales in order to change our mindset and therefore our actions when it comes to approaching sales.   As Andy did, you might have gotten into the tax business because you thought there would be minimal sales required since everyone needs to do their taxes. The reality is, sales is becoming ever more important in the competitive landscape and knowing how to simply and effectively sell will be key to your success.   To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: http://taxpronation.com/13   Quotables: [04:43] “Where I’ve seen some individuals fall short is that they’re so focused on the occupation of the task they want to do that they forget that we’re actually human beings.” —David Reeser [05:00] “A proper sales strategy is built on a sincere desire to help others and communicate your value.” —David Reeser [06:04] “I think sales is more powerful than just getting business done.” —David Reeser [11:12] “If you cannot see it in your mind, you cannot hold it in your hand.” —Steve Harvey [14:08] “Everyone is on the sales team!” —David Reeser   In This Conversation We Cover:   [03:21] The non-salesy appeal for Andy wanting to get into the tax industry in the first place [04:00] David’s thoughts on the proper mindset about sales in general [04:43] “Where I’ve seen some individuals fall short is that they’re so focused on the occupation of the task that they want to do that they forget that we’re actually human beings.” —David Reeser [05:00] “A proper sales strategy is built on a sincere desire to help others and communicate your value.” —David Reeser [05:11] The 4 Step Sales Process David teaches [05:38] How to close the sale with a really simple, and positive, question [06:04] “I think sales is more powerful than just getting business done.” —David Reeser [06:25] The key first thing you need to have sales conversations [07:57] Andy shares how tax professionals can build up their confidence in sales over time [08:50] How to feel good about what you do and sell, even if you don’t believe it’s world-changing [09:29] Different thoughts on “Fake It Until You Make It” mindset [11:12] “If you cannot see it in your mind, you cannot hold it in your hand.” —Steve Harvey [12:47] David shares how to talk about your value and your strategic desire to help others [13:36] What David really teaches [14:08] “Everyone is on the sales team!” —David Reeser [14:48] Jeff asks David to explain his meaning of the word strategic when it comes to sales [15:14] David shares his pet peeve with the phrase “deal with people” [16:38] David uses a medical analogy to paint the picture of how to build trust in sales 17:40] 58% of Pronto tax pros said they enjoyed helping people the most over all other benefits of the tax business [18:29] David and Andy walk through a role-play sales conversation [27:38] Jeff jumps in to explain the personality dynamics of the two actors in the role-play [30:35] David shares his Victory Mindset training concept [31:41] Andy shares his thoughts on how the role-play went and the key lessons [32:38] Why professionals know how they do business and stick to it [33:15] David urges listeners to rethink how they think about sales [34:04] What if I am not a “people-person?” [34:47] David shares why he believes high Emotional Quotient (EQ) is not required in sales [37:29] How to find pain or opportunity with a prospect [40:14] The power of loose connections [41:41] The difference between selling as a large brand or a small independent company [43:02] The importance of knowing the thing you are solving for your client [45:22] The implications of defining success for your business [47:16] David’s Pronto Tax School Sales Course for Independent Tax Professionals Tax Pro Nation is sponsored by Pronto Tax School, Inc.

On today’s episode of Unconventional Genius, I talk with Andy Rachleff, President and CEO of Wealthfront about the advantages of automated investing. Wealthfront is the leading automated planning and investment company in the financial industry. Utilizing sophisticated software and a client-first approach, Wealthfront makes investing easier and more affordable. During my conversation with Andy Rachleff, you’ll hear how Wealthfront is maximizing the value of automated investing. You will also get an inside peek into how he leads this innovative company. What makes automated investing better? While the older generation of investors might prefer getting their financial advice from another person, the younger generation approaches investing differently. Automated investing offers several benefits for younger investors. Andy Rachleff says one common misconception about Wealthfront is that they are trying to steal clients from more traditional firms. In reality, automated investing appeals to a completely different clientele that is often younger and still in the wealth accumulation phase of life. Hear about the distinctions of automated investing and how it can be a more viable option for many investors during this episode of Unconventional Genius. Should you choose the local zoo or automated investing? According to Andy Rachleff, a group of chimpanzees may have a better chance at picking a winning portfolio than a financial advisor. But instead of going to the local zoo to find your next financial advisor you might give automated investing a try. The financial industry isn’t designed to be fair. Many large companies require you to invest millions of dollars in order to qualify for a financial advisor. Even then there is little guarantee that they will make the best choices. As Andy explains, Wealthfront is utilizing automated investing to even the playing field. Quoting Wealthfront’s Chief Investment Officer Burt Malkiel, Andy says, “Since you can’t outperform the market, don’t try.” That is why Wealthfront uses time-tested, academically proven models to invest in low-cost index funds. Doing so with automated investing removes the potential for human judgment and error, and allows invested money to grow in spite of market volatility. 3 factors to help you maximize your return on investment Andy Rachleff explains that there are three factors you should consider when planning your investment portfolio. These 3 considerations will help you maximize your return on investment and are the same three factors that Wealthfront focuses on when advising clients. Automated investing keeps these three factors at the forefront of your investment strategy. Listen to my conversation with Andy Rachleff to hear about these important 3 factors and how Wealthfront leverages software to prioritize them. The growth and evolution of automated investing During our conversation, Andy shares about what it takes to run a successful automated investing company. He shares the difficulties of prioritizing his time and maintaining a clear vision for the company. Wealthfront currently manages over $10.5 billion in investments with over 200,000 clients. As the company continues to grow, the services available to clients will continue to grow and evolve. Hear all about that and more on this week’s episode of Unconventional Genius.

As Andy from the movie Shawshank Redemption famously said, “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” As we wind down the season of Pentecost and transition into the season of Advent, we enter into an atmosphere of hope. Hope is one of those things that can start as a tiny spark but can ignite and bring light into the darkest of situations. There’s a reason Jesus is called the hope of all nations.

Andy Sack is the Director of Cultivation for PRICH BIO TECH in Puerto Rico. But, his journey to island life started at Kind Love in Denver, Colorado in 2012. While Andy was working for Kind Love, they won medical dispensary of the year in 2015 from Cannabis Business Awards, Best Flower 2016 from Westword, best flower at a dispensary 2016, Cannabis Business Awards and more. About a year ago, he was offered an opportunity in Puerto Rico. After he got out there, he realized the legal medical cannabis scene there was extremely different than Colorado. The majority of the medical cannabis patients are women over the age of 60 who are using cannabis as an alternative to pharmaceutical options. Also, the governor passed a law that restricts flower sales to only terminally ill patients. Basically, despite the fact that Puerto Rico is super bankrupt, they're actually regressing their cannabis laws. PRICH BIO TECH holds the most licenses for any cultivation facility in the state. Formerly a pharmaceutical manufacturer, they currently have a 420,000 square foot grow. Most other facilities are still waiting for their licenses because of state disorganization and political turmoil. Additionally, even if those licenses were properly distributed, there isn't not enough patients because the government is stalling distribution of medical cards. As Andy stated, “There's mass confusion in the industry here in Puerto Rico in this moment. It's kind of a hot mess.” Stay tuned for more on what's happening with medical cannabis legalization in Puerto Rico, behind the scenes of a 420,000 square foot grow, seeds, strains, genetics and more on this episode of The Real Dirt with Chip Baker.

“I just want to cry… all the time” This week we’re watching Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s dark comedy ‘Fleabag’, starring Waller-Bridge herself, Sian Clifford, Bill Paterson, Olivia Colman and Hugh Dennis. Both Rachael and Andy share stories of how their own mental health issues affected their first viewings of the series, which the whole team concur is an astounding piece of television. While Paul wonders if the play from which the series originated might cure his aversion to the theatre, Rachael yet again finds herself falling in love with a captivating leading lady. As Andy celebrates the presence of Bill Paterson with a simple one-word declaration, Olivia Colman’s dead on portrayal of an evil stepmother brings out Rachael’s inner slapper! And Paul uses the presence of Hugh Dennis as an opportunity to quote the ‘Mary Whitehouse Experience’ sketches that he knows word for word. Elsewhere, Andy takes a look at the time-honoured art of fourth-wall breaking and asks the all-important question: Is ‘Deadpool’ any more revolutionary than ‘Lovejoy’? This week’s scale: BBC3 or ITV3

In just 25 minutes I learned how much we are capable of when we put our minds to it. Andy Amick turned his love for mountain biking into one of the most interesting legacy building exercises I have heard. As Andy's passion for Mountain Biking grew, he discovered a race called "Tour Divide", which is a 2,745 mile (4,418km) ride from Banff, Alberta to Antelope Wells, New Mexico. After a grueling 24 days, Andy completed the race at with countless stories to share. What was unique about Andy's story (aside from the run in with a Mountain Lion), was that Andy found it more challenging writing and publishing a book, then riding a bike for 24 straight days. In addition to writing a book, and completing the "Tour Divide", Andy has built an e-commerce business selling mountain bike specific first aid kits, along with a number of other great resources (find them here). While Andy grew up in an entrepreneurial family, he did not inherit any of these natural traits. He is a software programmer by day and runs this business on the side as a legacy business he would like to pass on to his children. So many industry giants are recognized for building billion dollar fortunes, having a fleet of jets, yachts, mansions, etc. We often fail to recognize the passion-preneurs who have built businesses that reflect who they are and the things they life - like Andy.

Andy Powers is a force of nature. He's a gifted musician, an avid surfer and, of course, a stellar guitarmaker. As Andy tells us on this week's podcast, he's always had the guitarmaking bug. In fact, he attempted to build his first instrument when he was still in elementary school and, when he was barely a teenager, he had enough of a guitar repair business brewing that he earned himself a letter from the IRS. As an adult, Powers had a bustling business building archtops, guitars, ukuleles and mandolins and doing restorations out of his Oceanside, California workshop when he decided to switch gears and become a full-time Taylor employee. At Taylor, Powers has tirelessly worked on new lines and improvements, including the Grand Orchestra model, revamping the 600 and 800 series lines of guitars, the new Academy series of instruments and the GS Mini-e Bass. During our chat, we talk about these models, the recruitment offer he received from Bob Taylor, the state of affairs when it comes to Taylor sourcing wood, his R&D process and much more.

To get a tease how our conversation went: DOUG PARSONS:  Do you think the Scientist March is a good idea?   ANDY REVKIN:  No. ANDY REVKIN:  People should visit Woodward County, West Virginia — the most climate skeptical county in the U.S. ANDY REVKIN:  Nothing we can do right now will change the course of climate change for at least a decade. In the latest episode of America Adapts, Doug Parsons talks with legendary journalist, Andy Revkin.  Andy has been a long time reporter for the New York Times, covering climate change science, policy and impacts for decades. Andy also blogged at Dot Earth for the New York times, one of the most popular ‘hang outs’ for those wanting to learn more about global warming. Doug talks with Andy about his recent move to Propublica, an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest.  Andy talks about his early days in science journalism, going all the way back to the 1980s when he started working for the now defunct Science Digest. In what becomes almost a climate change history lesson, Andy then explains how global warming awareness grew in the sizzling summer of 1988, with Yellowstone National Park on fire and famed climatologist James Hansen testifying before Congress. As Andy put it regarding his shift to climate reporting after these events, “I never got off the bus.” Discussing climate change with Andy is like rehashing an Indiana Jones movie:  from his visit to the North Pole, writing on the Vatican and global warming, to the policy and science implications of the issue. Andy has long been associated with his perch at the New York Times and we discuss the details of that identity pivot to Propublica. We talk about his long term goals of writing longer investigative pieces, to highlighting some of the daily reporting he’s done during the first weeks of the Trump administration. Andy discusses the need for anonymous tips in climate reporting and how Propublica has created an encrypted page for these tips. Other topics covered: Propublica has a section “Steal our stories” that encourages others to repost their work. Andy describes how the Obama administration went through their own secretive information sharing process especially regarding the work of scientists at the EPA. Andy revisits his reporting during the George W. Bush years,. This includes the tampering with NASA research by Bush administration officials. “Science is like putty, unfortunately, in the policy arena,” as Andy describes how administrations handle issues like science. Andy describes how natural gas fracking, went from officially ‘unconventional gas’ to a ‘conventional gas’ supply and how that affected climate emissions trends. For other countries, climate change has become a key issue like trade and security, so Trump just can’t come in and ignore it. Andy describes his own podcast, Warm Regards, which he cohosts with Eric Holthaus and Jacqueline Gill. Andy discusses the positive aspects of adapting to climate change versus fighting global warming through mitigation. Andy thinks focusing on adaptation is a good thing, since it’s a ‘now’ issue, with impacts impacting communities now, whereas mitigation will be an issue that takes decades to address. Encourage America Adapts to go on the road and talk to the communities facing these challenges first hand. Key Quotes: Doug poased the question, “Do you think the messaging that will come out of the upcoming scientist march on Washington will be helpful?”  Andy responds: “No.” (Again, listen in to hear the nuance behind his answer.) “The global warming problem is too big for Trump to do much about…” meaning Trump’s ability to impact action in a negative way. “He can’t make it worse. Just like Obama couldn’t make it better.” (Listen to get the nuance of these quotes!) “Trump can’t order West Virginia’s miners to go back in the mines” meaning Trump’s ability to get the country to switch back to coal. “The end of coal in America is a done deal, and Trump can’t force that to change.” Andy’s final message and it’s a great one:  “At the grandest scale, the thing I’ve learned about the climate problem, it is so big and multi-faceted, that everyone can play a role.” Doug also brings on previous guest, Tristram Korten to discuss reporting in the age of Trump.  Tristram is the reporter who broke the viral story, “Florida Governor Bans Climate Change”.  Tristram and Doug discuss the challenges of journalism in the face of a hostile government and what some options are for those in government who want to share information with reporters. So please have a listen, it’s an amazing conversation with a legendary figure in climate change circles.   Additional Resources: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114029917 For those who didn’t know, Andy is quite the accomplished musician (and toured regularly with the late, great Pete Seeger). http://j.mp/revkinmusic Stories in Propublica: https://www.propublica.org/search/search.php?qss=revkin+climate+trump+obama&x=0&y=0&csrf_token=664986bb133b59015d7ad527eed303a11be63e61a421860d7a81d39a760d75e5 Final Dot Earth Post: http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/11/14/my-propublica-move-from-blogging-and-teaching-back-to-deep-digging-on-climate/ Books by Andy https://www.amazon.com/Andrew-Revkin/e/B001IXNSRK/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1390325965&sr=1-2-ent Andy on Twitter: @revkin Warm Regards @ourwarmregards America Adapts also has its own app for your listening pleasure!  Just visit the App store on Apple or Google Play on Android and search “America Adapts.” Finally, yes, most of your favorite podcasts are supported by listeners just like you!

"Keep your friends close but your enemies closer." While The Godfather, Part II didn’t perform nearly as well as its predecessor at the box office, Francis Ford Coppola’s sequel certainly made its money back and, more importantly, has gone on to become a film that’s often cited as one of the greatest films ever made. It even has its contingency of fans who feel it’s the stronger film of the pair. But Coppola went into it not really that excited by the prospect of making a sequel and really only jumped on board because of an idea he had that would blend the storylines of a father and of a son. Join us – Andy Nelson and Pete Wright – as we continue our Godfather trilogy series with Coppola’s 1974 film The Godfather, Part II.  We talk about our feelings with this film and whether or not we find it the stronger of the pair. We chat about Coppola and how he was really given free reign with this film, making it an incredibly easy shoot. We look at what Coppola brings to the table, including the numbered title, and why he’s such a masterful filmmaker. We talk about the various actors who return to the story and those who are new additions. And we look at how this film looks and all the people behind putting it together. It’s a film that splits audiences, critics and even us movie lovers like us, but it gives us all that much more to talk about this week. So pull up your cannoli and tune in to find out if this film ranks as high as Part I on our Flickchart.

Now having seen the trailer, I’m very much looking forward to watching it. It’s dark and twisted but has an interesting premise. Count me in!" Pete's Trailer: The Autopsy of Jane Doe — "We were fans of Troll Hunter for sure. That André Øvredal is back with this creep fest of a father-son medical examiner team police procedural? I’ll check that out. As Andy has noted, perhaps I’m not as averse to horror as I think I am?"

One of the most popular talks at Virgin Disruptors 2016 came from Red Bull’s Head of Performance, Dr Andy Walshe. In his day job Andy helps extreme athletes and creatives push the boundaries in eliminating fear and maximising performance. Whilst he's commonly found working on record breaking projects such Felix Baumgartner's free fall jump from the stratosphere to Earth, here he explains how we can harness these techniques in our own day-to-day lives. As Andy says “it’s not always about a box of snakes…” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Everyone in Our Town knows Father John and that’s not an overstatement. A funny line affectionately said by his life long friends and parishioners who greet him is “Hide your wallet, here comes Father John!” There is not a truer statement ever spoken. Giving back to God has been at the heart of his priesthood, and now is at the heart of his work. Father John is a premiere fundraiser and he has to be in his role as CEO of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington. Catholic Charities serves more than 160,000 people through63 programs in 48 locations throughout the District of Columbia and Montgomery, Prince George’s, Charles, Calvert and St.Mary’s Counties in Maryland. You can plainly see that Catholic Charities does God’s work for Catholics and Non-Catholics in Our Town. In addition to his mission with Catholic Charities, Washingtonians know him as a champion of good causes, beloved Parish Priest, Board member of Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School, Monsignor, and 2012 Washingtonian of the Year. He sits on close to 20 boards, has served as Priest at 3 parishes in his career, and received over 15 prestigious community and educational awards. As Andy introduced him, Father John is truly a Premier Priest in Our Town. If you’ve ever wondered why someone would chose the vocation to be a priest, we’ll tell you in this episode of Our Town. Father John talks about his family, his inspiration and his calling to the priesthood. Growing up in a family of 13 children prepared him for his work, Father John said, “I was blessed because of my family, I was used to working with all ages and learning to give and take and work things out,” as stated in the 2012 Washingtonian article, he has a “keen desire to pass on the faith.” It’s a beautiful story of the living example provided by his parents, Deacon Clarence and Kathleen Enzler. Here is another example of his inspiration, Father John, as a boy, would accompany his dad to church each day, one of his clearest memories is of his father handing the coat off his back to a homeless man they met on the way, “You witness that and you say, ‘that’s how you’re supposed to live, how you take care of the poor, not give them leftovers, but give out of your own blessings,” he said. He also shared some perspective on character, “You’re either a giver or a taker,” Father John said, and in case you haven’t noticed, the givers are also the happiest people!” Locally born and raised, Monsignor Enzler, who prefers to be called Father John, is a graduate of Our Lady of Lourdes School in Bethesda, St. John's College High School in Washington, and Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s episode our “Our Town” with Andy Ockershausen and Monsignor John Enzler, President and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington.

An ear-piercing scream shatters the silence of the castle. As Andy and Alden investigate, they watch Razen, the king's taster, disappear into the dungeons. Pursuit draws into question this official's loyalty to the king and after Alden mysteriously disappears, Andy finds himself facing the seven-headed, fire-breathing dragon alone to save the king. Will he succeed?

Travel expert Andy Steves teaches us how to travel abroad affordably while having an authentic experience. Andy grew up traveling to Europe with his father, the travel guru, Rick Steves.  He worked college summers as a tour guide for his dad’s company and saw a gap in the market while spending a semester studying abroad in Rome.  In 2010 Andy set up his own travel company, Weekend Student Adventures Europe to take study abroad students on affordable intra-Europe three day weekends. For a lot of students, their semester abroad is the first time they have had to budget their money.  Dealing with a new currency makes this even harder as does the “foreignness” of a new place.  Young people perhaps outside the US for the first time might be too timid to venture off the well trodden tourist path and end up spending more money for a less authentic experience. By doing some research, which is half the fun of a trip for some of us, you can avoid the tourist traps and really experience a new place.  When looking for a restaurant, don’t go to the place on the main strip with menus in every language.  Walk a few streets over and find the place the locals go.  The food will be better, cheaper, and the experience more memorable.  The same applies to bars and clubs.  Every city has an American ex-pat bar but why did you spend $1000 on airfare to spend the evening drinking with the same people you can drink with back home? We all have romantic dreams of Parisian cafes and Roman trattorias but we don’t all have the budget.  There are so many beautiful places in Central and Eastern Europe that are much more affordable.  You can have a three course dinner in Krakow for 5-6 Euros which is $8.  You can spend an afternoon in a thermal spa in Budapest for 4 900 forints which is about $22. As Andy’s dad taught me, “Travel is a force for peace.”  It makes you a better person and gives you  the ability to make the world a better place.

With the release of his second CD, Cold Dead Hand, Andy's musical journey is shifting into another gear. “Cold Dead Hand,” the first single off the CD, captures the emotion of the gun rights debate and serves as a rallying cry for millions of Americans. As Andy embarks on the filming schedule for the 8th season of Maximum Archery, his schedule now includes visiting radio stations and performing with his band while continuing to serve as president and creative force behind several business ventures such as Velvet Antler Wine, the first wine chosen specifically to pair with wild game; KrossRoad Guitars, a camo acoustic guitar that plays like a guitar that would cost twice as much as it does; and Maximum Archery The Game, a first person interactive video game that allows the player to be “Andy” and take them through all the facets of the hunt. Also on the horizon is a revolutionary new bow designed by Andy's new company Ambush Archery. Andy will feature this new bow throughout the 8th season of Maximum Archery. Andy used the Ross Archery bow for the previous seasons on Maximum Archery. “The Ross bow took me around the world several times for which I'm very grateful,” says Andy, “and I want to give back to the sport I love with this new bow that opens to door hunting year-round. We're hunting all kinds of animals you wouldn't hunt with a compound bow. I'm really excited about this new season of Maximum Archery as I incorporate this new music, this new bow, and the new products of which I'm very proud.

For this weeks podcast, there is a distinctly Northern feel with fellow scouser and DJ/Producer Andy Kneale hitting you up with a smooth deep house/tech house and prog house mix for your listening pleasure. Here's a full bio of Andy underneath enjoy. Andy wears his influences on his sleeve. His obsession with electronic music started in the early 90s. Listening to artists such as Altern8, the Prodigy, Acen and Brothers in Rhythm. Skip to the late 90s, while at university studying Physics, he finds himself immersed in the trance and progressive house scene. It wasn’t until the early 00s that Andy became addicted to the dark and pulsing rhythms of Techno when he first listened to The Youngsters Album ‘Lemon Orange’ and the classic Funk D’Void ‘Diabla’. All these influences are obvious in Andy’s music. Full of melody, deep pads and old skool stabs, Andy’s music tries to strike at the heart of the listener. His first EP for Hype muzik ‘Spectrum’ gained support from some of the undergrounds finest talents , including Ian O’Donovan, Madben, Mars T, to name a few. His EP ‘We thought Kraftwerk Was Robots’ gained support and plays from many DJs including UK legend Colin Dale and Nick Warren. Recently his material has gained support on the ‘It is what it is’ radio show of Laurent Garnier. As Andy’s sound develops, interest for his music grows.

We've all been there—at a networking or business event, ready with our business cards in hand. It's no secret that networking is an essential tool for business, but as most networking experts, including Dr. Ivan Misner, founder and chairman of BNI (Business Networking International) and Andy Lopata (Business Networking Strategist) will tell you, meeting new people is only half the battle. “Networking is simple, but it's not easy,” explains Ivan, “Contrary to popular belief, it takes more than an elevator pitch and a business card. Successful networking is about cultivating and maintaining strong relationships, and the courting begins the first time you meet a potential business partner.” As Andy says the real power comes from people who know, like and trust you. This show will help you to understand the art of networking and converting into quality referrals. We are so fortunate to have two of the world's top experts on this show so don't miss it!
