Ken Miller is an absolute Aussie mining legend. He had a well decorated 45 year career in the Underground Mining industry, working all over the country and throughout the world. Mt Isa, Kambalda, FIFO WA, Freeport and Bulgaria, Kenny has done it all. We attempted to condense his 45 year career into one episode, hence why this is a 3 hour marathon. It is also a very emotional interview in parts, where Kenny had some near misses and also lost mates due to Mining accidents throughout his career. You will gain plenty of Mining knowledge throughout this yarn and lot about maintaining a high standard of work. As Kenny said, "If it was worth doing something, it was worth doing it right".

Kenny Werner might try to talk you out of becoming a jazz musician. “Please don’t become a jazz musician just because you think you should. That’s like saying you think you should become a typewriter salesman. Nobody needs you. I would do everything I could to talk them out of it and if they couldn’t be talked out of it then I would say go for it. It’s got to be a thing of extreme love because it doesn’t make any sense otherwise.” For Kenny, playing piano always came easily. Even as a young boy growing up on Long Island, he was an exceptional musician, first recording on television at the age of 11. Although he studied classical piano as a child, he enjoyed playing anything he heard on the radio. He has dedicated his life to playing jazz. Over his extensive career, he’s worked with an exhaustive list of the greats, including long lasting creative relationships with Joe Lovano, Toots Thielemans, Betty Buckley and the Mel Lewis orchestra. Quincy Jones has said of Kenny, “Perfection, 360 degrees of soul and science in one human being. My kind of musician.” As Kenny says it, a driving force in his work is to make “a music conscious of its spiritual intent and essence.” But despite all his natural talent for playing from a young age, the rest of the world was a bit of a mystery and a struggle. He didn’t like to do too much work. He didn’t like to exert too much effort, and he really didn’t like to practice the things that didn’t come easily to him. He liked to watch TV. (In fact, he told me, he still likes to watch TV.) However, he had a natural gift for explaining the kinds of hangups and challenges that many musicians and music students deal with in their own development, and through years of work on himself and as a teacher of others, he devised a technique to overcome those hangups. He says now that maybe this came easily to him precisely because he didn’t worry too much about what people thought of him as a teacher - he was still caught up in being a jazz musician. In 1996 Kenny wrote Effortless Mastery, Liberating The Master Musician Within. The book influenced generations of jazz musicians and continues to be a seminal text in contemporary jazz and creative education. Werner has since created videos, lectured world-wide and authored many articles on how musicians, artists or even business people can allow their “master creator” within to lift their performance to its highest level, showing us how to be spontaneous, fearless, joyful and disciplined in our work and in our life. Kenny says that since the book was published, he constantly hears people who tell him how the book changed their lives (myself included). Nonetheless, it took him years to come to terms with his path as an educator, and to accept the accolades, and feel good when he received praise for his book and the subsequent journey on which it led him. “Today I get a bigger kick from helping people with whatever wisdom I have than I do from playing. I finally accepted I have a wisdom that can really be useful. As musicians we’re not used to doing something that’s useful.” We met in a midtown New York hotel in December to talk about his life and career, the Effortless Mastery phenomenon, coming to terms with his own wisdom, and his newest record The Space, a solo piano project informed by Werner’s own teachings.

Even in the face of a new law, Daniel never changed how he prayed or worshipped God. He was prepared to face any consequence that was given rather than compromise on what he believed to be faithfulness to God. Daniel stood firm and knew the God he served was able to rescue him from any circumstance he would find himself in. He chose his hill to die on. In our own lives, we are confronted daily with challenges that would be easier dealt with if we lessened our convictons in our journey of pursuing Christ. We have a choice: stand firm or walk in what seems easier in the moment. In life, there are times we must show who we are and what we stand for. Jesus came to show us who God is and how to follow Him. He lived a perfect life filled with oppostion, which ultimately led to the hill He chose to die on. Christ died to show God wants to rescue us from all of the things surrounding us that pull us away and lead to compromise. He wants us to trust Him so we will stand firm regardless of the circumstances we may find ourselves in. As Kenny reiterated in our message, "He is still a rescuing and saving God." Daniel 6:1-28 Kenny Nix, Pastor
Dumb Nerds: Comedians Talking About Smart Topics They're Too Dumb For
Did you our knowledge of nutrition is relatively new? Like Vitamin C wasn’t discovered until the 1930s! Guest Kenny Prawat (Crowning Jewels, io Sketch team “Jeff!”) and host Cassi Jerkins bond over their parents lack of nutritional knowledge and feeding them junk food as kids. For instance, remember when McDonalds had that $0.39 cheeseburger on Wednesday nights deal in the 90s? Yeah, that was dinner for these poor kids all the time. As Kenny and Cassi grew older they both developed an interest in cooking and from there they slowly learned which foods are healthy for you and why. (Hint: unprocessed food directly from the ground is the best). Kenny and Cassi also get into how food companies constantly use buzzwords to sell food. Buzzwords like “Fat Free”, “Organic” and “Gluten Free”. Kenny provides lots of tips on how to eat healthy and for cheap. He also has gives a PSA to the “youths” to stop ordering avocado toast at restaurants. Cassi can’t stop talking about her calorie tracker app. Enjoy!

Even in times of not knowing where God is, He is always working. Our circumstances often seem as if we are completely alone in life. We sometimes feel as if God has forgotten or even abandoned us, but take heart. There is a purpose that is greater than what we can see. In our series, we see God continuing to orchestrate events that seem hopeless to unfold His plan for the good of His people and for His glory. In our own lives, even when He seems hidden, we can trust God with our lives and the situations surrounding us. Just as we see God making what seemed impossible in the lives of Esther and the Jewish people, we can rest in knowing He is the same today as He was then. God has rescued the world by sending Christ, who redeems our broken past and redefines our rebel heart. Because of Jesus we are made new and we can experience grace from God. As Kenny said in the message, "God is constantly working things out. In our lives, we worry about tomorrow and we have so many doubts about if God is really present or if He is really doing something. Understand that God is using people we can not even imagine, even people we think are wicked and evil, to shape situations around us so He will receive glory from that." Esther 7 Kenny Nix, Pastor
Kenny Sanders was born Dec 27th 1985 and raised in the small humble town of Ephraim, UT. Currently living in Los Angeles, CA. As Kenny's passions grew, he became a person of many talents from riding BMX professionally, mentioned in magazines worldwide and being 1 of 3 in the known band Sonder Saloon as a guitar player and vocalist which have over 900,000+ plays between Spotify, Soundcloud, iTunes and YouTube. In addition to that he can also play the drums and piano. Kenny's interests and talents don't stop there. He's also a successful businessman. In 2013 Kenny invented Notsocks, which is a sock that is designed to wrap around the shoe insole and inserted inside of the shoe keeping the foot free from wearing socks for a sockless lifestyle. In 2014 Kenny founded the clothing company TTM Lifestyle which are hand crafted limited edition shirts with stamped faux leather pockets. As the company grew, he decided to sell the brand in September of 2015 so he could direct his focus on NotSocks, his music and BMX. In early 2016 Kenny started a YouTube channel with Professional Figure Skater Crystalrose Guerra called CKLA. The YouTube channel took off quickly with over 1,000 subscribers and over 100,000 views and climbing in 5 months.
Kenny and Brandon take the podcast to Brandon's basement as they watch the not-so-bad sci-fi film Brainstorm, in which Christopher Walken plays a scientist who's invented a unique device that allows you to experience someone else's mental and physical sensations. The film also starred the late Natalie Wood, who died during filming under mysterious circumstances while on a boat with Walken and Robert Wagner in 1981. As Kenny attempts to get the bottom of the much-disputed case, Brandon experiences a sudden wave of nausea which, unbeknownst to him, would eventually turn into the dreaded Norovirus, and leaves Kenny to finish out the podcast as he uses the bathroom.
