Pete DeBusk is a true entrepreneur. He started from humble beginnings growing up in coal mining towns in the Appalachian Mountains. In his "Act 1," he founded DeRoyal Industries, a major manufacturer of medical products with 1,900 employees and facilities in a half-dozen countries around the world. Today, the company manufactures over 20,000 different products. Back in 2000, Pete began to step-away from the business turning the day-to-day operations over to his son Brian. He admits it was a difficult transition for him. Coinciding with this corporate leadership change, Pete was asked to serve as Chairman of the Board of his alma mater, Lincoln Memorial University (LMU). And that's when his second act began. He's been LMU's Chairman for 21 years now and Pete has rebuilt the school using the same playbook that he used at DeRoyal Industries. According to Pete, "You find niches and you fill niches." Under his leadership, LMU has added a medical school, law school,  veterinary school as well as dozens of new majors that have helped the University grow by 1,500%. As Pete shares in this episode: "I've built DeRoyal for my own personal use. Of course, it was a business. LMU you're doing it for somebody else. You're doing it to help people who would otherwise not have the opportunity to get a better education to grow in professional fields. Because it's hard to come out those Appalachians and get into graduate schools and get into stuff and a lot of people give up before they get started."

Hello Friends (*Jim Nantz Voice*) It's Masters Week! In honor of this week at Augusta, I thought we'd profile another world class golf course: the 'lost' Lido Golf Club. I spoke with Pete Flory, an amateur golf historian who, through his love of golf, began digitally rendering famous golf courses a few years ago. As Pete spent more and more time on his hobby, he decided to take on a major challenge. He was going to render the world famous Lido. For those who aren't familiar, the Lido is regarded by countless golf historians to be the greatest golf course of all time. The Course, located on Long Island, was designed by the legendary architect C.B. McDonald. Unfortunately for the Lido, as the World War II war effort became a priority in America, the Navy needed to use the land as a base, and the course was destroyed. Through conversations with other golf architecture lovers on golf architecture message board Golf Club Atlas, Pete was able to piece together an accurate rendering of the original club. And after countless hours of detective work, Pete finished the design. It was through his postings on the message board that Pete came into contact with Tom Doak. Doak asked Pete if he could assist in Tom's latest project: reviving the Lido with the Keiser Brothers at a site in Sand Valley, WI. The Course is set to open in 2023, and Pete has been instrumental in Doak's visualization of the course. Pete's interest in the history of golf and course architecture piqued his interest in how the game was played many decades ago, which led Pete to his other hobby, hickory golf. Pete told me about what makes hickory golf so difficult. Through our conversation, I gained an appreciation for modern golf equipment. Pete is going to play the Lido when it opens in 2023 with hickory clubs from the original Lido Club that he tracked down. The audio on this episode got a bit spotty in patches, but bear with it. The episode is a great listen!

There are many ways to pray. All are beautiful and effective. The kind of prayer the Vineyard is most known for is the kind of prayer where we pray for the person in front of us right in that moment. As Pete said in his sermon on Sunday, "It starts with a willingness to ask: Can I pray for you right now?" Listen to Pete's message to hear the power of this kind of prayer, how to pray for someone right now, and to be encouraged to start paying for people right now.You can listen to or watch Pete’s message by clicking on one of the buttons below.

Quiet Time Coaching Episode 255 I am in my third year of participating in the Renovare (https://renovare.org/) book club. The first book in this season's set of four is "How to pray" by Pete Greig. Quiet time coaching episodes will focus on his book for the next few weeks. You don't need to read it to benefit from these recordings, but you might like to get hold of a copy for yourself. I have finished the book and can thoroughly recommend it. A full review of the book will come at a later date in "What we are reading". Last week we explored confessional and reconciliatory prayer Today we will reflect on the eleventh chapter of the book, "Spiritual warfare: How to exercise spiritual authority". Theme scripture: “Lead us not into temptation, Deliver us from the evil one." (Matthew 6:13 NIV11) First, let's consider what we're talking about when we discuss spiritual warfare. "Enemy-occupied territory, that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us to take part in a great campaign of sabotage." (C.S. Lewis – Mere Christianity) Greig, Pete. How to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People (p. 162). John Murray Press. Kindle Edition. There is no question that we are at war. It is a question of whether we understand our enemy, and our power. What do we do when we sense the need to engage in some prayer for spiritual warfare? Martin Luther said this: "We must all practise violence and remember that he who prays is fighting against the devil and the flesh. Satan is opposed to the church … the best thing we can do, therefore, is to put our fists together and pray." What does this kind of praying look like? Pete Greg offers the following suggestions: 1. Know your enemy Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (1 Pet. 5:8) Jesus knew he had an enemy, and he knew who he was. He was aware of his schemes. And those schemes were not just theoretical, but personal. Jesus warned Peter that ‘Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat’ (we can only guess how he knew). ‘But I have prayed for you … that your faith may not fail.’ Jesus knew he would be victorious over the devil, but he wanted his followers to share in that victory. Therefore, he prayed for them. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Eph. 6:12) What tools do we have in this battle? Pete Greig suggests fasting. Fasting can help to focus our prayers the way a magnifying glass focuses sunlight to start a fire. This might mean going without food, sex, social media or even, in Daniel’s case, soap! 2. Know your authority We are aware that Jesus has all authority, and that no powers or dominions can stand opposed to him can succeed. But what about our authority? ‘God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms’ (Eph 2:6). If we are with Christ and in Christ (a term used 164 times in the New Testament), we share in his authority on some level. As Pete puts it: In prayer we are learning to rule and reign with Christ. How do you feel about praying "deliver us from evil"? What are we praying for when we make this request? We, "...inhale the victory of the cross, and thereby .. hold the line for another moment, another hour, another day, against the forces of destruction within ourselves and the world.’ Tom Wright Our prayers to defeat evil are needed urgently. They are for this time, not for eternity. They must be uttered now (Rev 12:12), Like a wounded and cornered animal, Satan thrashes around desperately with the aim of injuring as many of his enemy as possible, before his own destruction 3. Know how to fight The correct weapons are necessary to fight affectively. The next time you engage in spiritual warfare read Ephesians 6:11-18. Meditate on how to wield of the sword of the Spirit, walk in the shoes of the gospel of grace, and stand your ground. Remember that the sword you wield is, "alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword.’ Heb 4.12. It will do the job for you if you use it. Pray through God's promises that pertain to the situations that he has put on your heart. Resolve that the spiritual warfare will end in peace. Your goal is not to fight so much as to bring peace. In Christ we are called to extend the Pax Christus as an army of peace-makers commissioned to convey ‘the gospel of peace’ to all the earth. Wherever possible do not take this fight on alone. Remember the words of Jesus, ‘Truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.’ Matt 18:19 Praying in community will assist you in standing your ground and standing firm. Conclusion This is the chapter of the book that I find most extraordinary. The idea that I might have power in my prayer to thwart the designs of Satan is, frankly, a little weird! However, it does seem to fit with what Jesus taught, and is implied by being in Christ. Questions for discussion: What stands out to you about the prayer of spiritual warfare? How might your prayer life grow if you could learn how to practice prayer in spiritual warfare? Suggestion: Focus on prayer in spiritual warfare for the next seven days.

“Stronger After Stroke” is one of the most recommended books for stroke survivors by stroke survivors. It is a roadmap for recovery after leaving the hospital. Peter G. Levine talks about the importance of repetition to neuroplasticity. He dives deeply into Dr. Edward Taub’s Constraint Induced Therapy, and what stroke survivors can learn from musicians and athletes. And Levine joins us in this episode of the Strokecast. Bio (From Pete’s Amazon author page) Peter G. Levine is a researcher, author, clinician, adjunct professor, and science communicator. His career in clinical research has been dedicated to finding and reporting on the best systems for driving post-stroke brain plasticity. For two decades Levine has tested emergent stroke neurorehabilitation options including EMG-based gaming, wearable robotics, mental practice, functional electrical stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and modified constraint-induced therapy (mCIT). He was the lab co-director at the University of Cincinnati Academic Medical Center, and a Research Associate at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. He continued his clinical research with The Ohio State University B.R.A.I.N. lab. Levine communicates what he’s learned in research through his blog, dozens of magazine and journal articles, hundreds of professional talks on stroke recovery and brain injury, as well as his book, Stronger After Stroke. Constraint Induced Therapy Constraint Induced Therapy (CIT) at the most basic level, is about encouraging the survivor to use an affected limb by forcing its use. At one level, we all know we’re supposed to use our affected limbs as much as possible. Of course it’s not always easy. In my case, I try to do something like flip a switch or open a door three times with my left hand. After three tries, I let myself use my unaffected limb. That way I get the practice and I don’t get too frustrated when I can’t do something yet. CIT takes that to the next level. It involves restricting the unaffected limb with a sling or other mechanism to force the use of the affected limb for hours a day of therapy. It should be done under the supervision of a therapist because there is certainly a risk of falling or other injury when the unaffected limbs we rely on more than ever are suddenly restricted. But forcing deliberate use of an affected limb is the best way to bring it back on line. Practice One of the key themes we talked about was the importance of practice and repetition. Musicians and athletes (like Peter G. Levine and Stephen Page)  know the importance of repetitive, deliberate practice. Professionals and amateurs who want to be the best they can, practice. And the enjoy it. Spending hour after hour working on a segment of a song or to shave half a second off a run is how they build the skills they need and want to acquire. Malcom Gladwell in his book “Outliers” popularized the idea that to develop expertise in something takes 10,000 hours of practice. And deliberate practice at that. It’s a theory based on the work described in The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance. Developing skills and particular motions after stroke is similar. It requires more and more repetitions. As Pete shares, it takes 1200 repetitions to develop a single motion in a single joint. Of course walking requires dozens of joints, muscles, and motions. So multiply all those 1200s against one another, and get to work! Homunculus The homunculus is a representation of the brain and various parts of the body. The more you use a part of the body, the more neurons it takes up in the brain. For example, the hands and tongue take up more space in the than the elbow and pinkie toe. The more time and energy you dedicate to something, the more space in your brain is dedicated to that task. For example, a homunculus of my brain would likely show a much larger segment dedicated to speaking than to throwing a baseball. One way I think about how this applies to survivors (and I may be stretching the homunculus analogy) is that a skill from the prestroke days that a survivor was an expert at may come back before a skill one had limited experience with simply because despite the damage there were simply more nerves dedicated to it. As you continue to work on a skill post stroke, a larger portion of the brain will be dedicated to it. More nerves, dendrites, and synapses will become involved. This is neuroplasticity at work. Four Lessons for Recovery Pete summed up his approach and book in 4 lessons. Recovery takes a lot of repetitive practice. Recovery takes a lot of visualization. Don’t expect miracles. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Hack of the Week Pete uses a strap with Velcro as a simple, low-cost AFO. It’s a tool that helps lift the toe to make walking smoother and combat foot-drop. The nice thing about a solution like this is that it also gives you access to a wider assortment of shoes while reducing the risk of tripping.

I’ve got a very special guest for you this week. Professor Peter Enns, author of books that include The Sin of Certainty and How the Bible Actually Works (affiliate links), joins me for a discussion about the Bible, Christianity, love, trust, and the evolving nature of faith. I grew up with a very fundamentalist understanding of the Bible, and can relate to so many of the things that Pete writes and talks about, including the fear of getting our facts wrong and offending God. As Pete points out, that’s a pretty limiting view of God—that God can’t tolerate our honest efforts to interpret the Bible as best we can in light of our experience. Our discussion  focuses on Christianity, but I think many of the issues apply across different religious traditions. I look forward to hearing your reactions. 

In this episode of the Double Dan Podcast, Dan Steers sits down with his very first mentor Pete Webber. Dan and Pete traverse Pete's early years, from his station upbringing by the Ord River, to moving out from under the shadow of his dad (another established horseman) and charging $30 for a set of shoes. Not long in to Pete's career as a professional horseman he took an apprentice under his wing, and that apprentice was none other than Dan Steers. As Pete's story unfolds we get to learn a little more about Dan's departure from an education he wasn't interested in, followed by his introduction to the world of horses. Dan earns the nickname "Fluffy" and gets an eyebrow ring. Pete wrangles some stray cattle off a country road bareback and bridleless and trains a horse to be successful in four different sports. A few other industry greats get a mention as these two horseman sit down and tell tales of the years gone by.

Peter Lorimer joined Keller Williams Realty, in 2005, where he was a rookie agent of the year. He then went on to have 3 back to back years of being the number #1 agent in his brokerage. Culminating in 2009, where he earned the prestigious distinction of being the #1 top producing Keller Williams agent for the entire LA region, including Beverly Hills, Malibu and Bel Air, and all other areas of Los Angeles County. Never one to rest on his laurels, in 2010 Peter decided to branch out on his own and launch his long-planned and awaited, PLG Estates based in Beverly Hills. Where he and his team of hand-picked agents cater to a discerning clientele, many of whom are extremely well-known individuals with creative tastes but wish to remain fiercely private. Originally from the UK, Pete had tremendous success as a record producer before coming to the US, working along sides some of the biggest recording artists of the 80's and 90's and having over 30 #1's in the Billboard Club Charts and another 25 around the world. It was his love of working with artists, his creative mindset — and a succession of personal real estate investment deals - that led him into the world of real estate. In 2010, Pete passed another milestone by proudly becoming a naturalized US citizen. As Pete's business acumen grew over the years, he realized a tremendous need to assemble a S.W.A.T. team of support staff headed up by his wife and business partner Cindy Lorimer, herself an accomplished businesswoman, whose natural ability for real estate and tremendous attention to detail have helped give PLG Estates its reputation for legendary customer service throughout every step of the transaction. Whether it's a first-time buyer looking for a $100,000 condo, or a well-heeled celebrity in search of a $10 million beachfront hideaway, every client is treated equally and given top-notch service by one of our team of agents. When he's not out with clients or negotiating a deal, Pete's downtime is spent with his wife Cindy and their kids Emily, Oliver, and Charlotte.

Episode 14 #6 What joint exercises have you done and what is planned? - "10 Questions from the Mayor" Series10 Questions for the Mayor to ask the Police and Fire Chief SeriesQuestion 6: "What joint exercises have you done and what is planned?"Bill Godfrey:Welcome back to the next in our podcast series. We are in the middle of our mini-series, talking about 10 questions that the mayor or city manager, County administrator want to ask their police and fire chiefs together to kind of help them understand what their preparedness level is for responding to an active shooter event.Today we are going to talk about question number six, chiefs, what joint exercises have you done and what are planned for the future? My name is Bill Godfrey. One of the instructors with C3, a retired fire chief. I have with me today, Pete Kelting, Lieutenant with Seminole County Sheriff's office, also one of the C3 instructors. And we have Tom Billington, retired fire chief and one of the C3 instructors. Tom, you want to lead us off?Tom Billington:Sure. I think that the city manager or mayor needs to be prepared, because a lot of your fire chiefs may say, "Well, we don't have any money." That's not an answer that the city manager or mayor wants to hear. There are so many opportunities out there for fire chiefs and emergency services managers to try to find funding, whether it's grants, whether it's partnerships, whether it's using private vendors who sponsor things.That's what you want to hear as the city manager, that your fire chief has gone out of the box and doesn't just say, "Well I don't have any money." They're coming out of there saying, "I've tried these avenues here. Here's what we're doing and here's how we're going to fund it." That's the answer. Nothing's worse than somebody just blaming things on money and it happens so often. It's an easy way out.Bill Godfrey:It occurs to me, I probably ought to set the context because this question very much dovetails with our previous question, which is what joint training have you done and what's planned? The difference between training and exercises, training, you're trying to build up the skill levels. Exercises you're trying to evaluate whether you've pulled it all together. For the most part in this question, we're talking about full scale exercises. These things can get quite large. They require a lot of participation from your agencies, from mutual aid partners. They require people to take the time to plan them out. They require sites to facilitate. They can be monsters and they can be expensive.So with that as the context, Pete, talk a little bit on the law enforcement side. What should the mayor want to hear from the sheriff and the fire chief when they're asked this question? What are the joint exercises you've done and what do you have planned?Pete Kelting:Yeah. That's a great question, Bill. I think a mayor or elected official asking downward what their agencies have done for training and how they're preparing starts with their yearly budgeting of training and that they start from the ground level of what they're going to do individually as an agency. Then offering that, I think in one of the other podcasts we talked about that our training opportunities are offered across jurisdictions, just starting from the local level of it, from law and fire, that we train together. Then we build upon that, that those trainings then merge into trainings with other counties, other cities.As we look into our regional effort, then we move outside of our own budget constraints and we plan together. We look at what funding is available to support these type of exercises, tabletops, full-scale exercises. It's very important that we keep our eye on the ball. And most agencies are eager to train that way, their training committees and the folks leading the effort for training look towards that avenue, to be able to move from individual training inside their agency to regional and multi-jurisdictional training supported by the funding that's out there. So it's extremely important that we keep our eye on the ball and train in that in that way.Bill Godfrey:Pete, I know you've got quite a bit of emergency management experience and background. Can you talk a little bit about the role that emergency management can play both in helping plan these events and staff these events, but also in securing grant funding? Because I'm sure that there's fire chiefs and police chiefs that may not be aware of how much the emergency management lane can help in getting this stuff done.Pete Kelting:Absolutely. The emergency management function is an integral part of sustaining a training program, across all hazards, not just active shooter but all hazards, in the sense that we have regional airports, we have colleges, we have schools, we have malls, we have all sorts of locations that your emergency management function and your EM coordinator can assist you with, with planning and reaching out to the community and integrating our training responses with the community responses.There's churches out there that, now there's accreditation standards for certain community places that they want to have that training at their location, at their venue. So it's really been a great thing for all of us to work together with our partners and again, with emergency management, who are resourced deep. They are able to reach out and get the people that can assist us in putting those training exercises together.Bill Godfrey:Yeah. Fantastic. Tom, I know you've spent well over 20 years responsible for emergency management and probably can offer some insights on the fireside. But also touch on the State Homeland Security opportunities in of grant funding and resources that can help you plan some of these things.Tom Billington:Right. Again, if your fire chief or emergency manager is not reaching out to these people, in the state emergency management or FEMA, there's usually UASI funds, which is the funds that come from the federal government that usually come into areas that could be considered targets. In Florida, I know Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, those type areas, there's a lot of funding. You have to go find it.To touch on what Pete said, your emergency manager usually knows where those funds are or where they could be found. We go to fire chief conferences and they talk about fire chief stuff and union stuff and funding opportunities like Pete just mentioned, you really don't hear a lot about. So touching base with your emergency manager to find out where the funding opportunities, what's out there, very important. Next thing again, joint exercises, does that mean fire, EMS, police? Joint exercise means a lot of things. Sometimes we consider our professions as being islands, but we're not an Island.As Pete started to allude to, we want to make sure that joint exercises include the private sector included utilities, include courthouses, hospitals, and also these are other facilities that may have some money to help out, so 911 one systems and so again, beating the bushes, working with your local partners, finding that funding. You can pull it off.Bill Godfrey:It occurs to me as we come to a close on this one, this one's not a terribly complicated topic. Again, the mayor, when he asked this question, the answer you want to hear is, "Well, we've done this, this and this. And we've got these on the books and this is where we're going. We're working on funding for this." I mean, that's the obvious part.But I think the other thing that's important for mayors and city managers, county administrators to remember, especially in more suburban settings and in rural settings, your police chief and fire chief may or may not have had the opportunity to be exposed to some of these funding mechanisms. I mean, there's so many different grant avenues and so many different funding mechanisms. It can be hard to know where they are and where to look.So the mayor, the city manager, they may need to help their police chief, their fire chief kind of understand where some of these opportunities may be, support them by sending them to some training sessions on funding, or even putting the city in a position to kind of help them go get that stuff. Gentleman, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to come in this afternoon. Pete, thanks for being here.Pete Kelting:Thank you for having me.Bill Godfrey:Tom, thank you for taking the time to participate.Tom Billington:Thank you.Bill Godfrey:Everyone, thank you for joining us and please come back for our next one. Our next question in this mini-series, which is how will public information and social media being managed real time during the response? This will be an interesting topic, I'm sure. Until next time.

Show Transcript:Episode 09: #1 Show me our joint Active Shooter Response policy - "10 Questions from the Mayor" Series10 Questions for the Mayor to ask the Police and Fire Chief SeriesQuestion 1:"Chiefs, please show and review with me our joint Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response policy."*Bill Godfrey: *Welcome to our next installment in our podcast series. This time we're going to be doing something a little different. We're actually going to be kicking off the beginning of a mini series where we're going to talk specifically about the topic of what kinds of questions the Mayor, the City Manager, or the County Administrator should be able to ask their police and fire Chief together, and really be able to judge what their readiness level is to be prepared for an active shooter event or to judge where they may have some gaps. We're going to take each one of these questions, 10 questions here, as a separate topic. Our first question in this series is," Chiefs, can you show and review with me our joint active shooter hostile event response policy?" To talk about that tonight and got with me, Tom Billington, retired Fire Chief. Welcome, Tom.*Tom Billington: *Thank you.*Bill Godfrey: *We got Adam Pendley, Assistant Chief. Adam, thanks for coming. We've got Pete Kelting, Lieutenant from the Sheriff's Office. Pete, thanks for being here. Of course, my name is Bill Godfrey and retired Fire Chief myself. So with that, Adam, let's start with you. Why is this such an important question for leadership of a city or county to be able to ask the police Chiefs and fire Chiefs, why the focus on a joint policy?*Adam Pendley: *Well, I think this is probably one of the first indicators as to whether you actually have true integration between your fire police and EMS services in your town or community. If someone has taken an effort to sit down together and write a policy that is literally on the same sheet of paper that avoids contradictions, it avoids assumptions or disagreements or agreements about what another agency is going to do, if you haven't sat down and had a workshop and put those agreements on paper to de-conflict the issues that the different agencies can have, then that's kind of indicative that maybe you are agencies that share the same community haven't been talking to each other as much as they should.*Bill Godfrey: *Pete, tell me from your perspective, how important is that that the law enforcement agency and the fire EMS agency, the medical agency, actually have a shared policy that's been written together and signed off by the leadership?*Pete Kelting: *Well, Bill, that's a great question because policy supports training, it supports purchase of equipment and it supports the end result of what we do together and disciplines. Being able to work with your partner from fire or EMS or emergency management and know that our training efforts and our purchase of equipment all are supported by policy and that we have the goal to manage incident the same so that it alleviates any type of hurdles as we move forward going down the road.*Bill Godfrey: *Tom, what Pete's talking about raises kind of an interesting challenge. Pete's of course from a Sheriff's Office and I know you were fire Chief of a county department for many, many years. In that context, the fire Chief and the Sheriff aren't necessarily in the same chain of command answering to the same person. What's your takeaway on that? Is it still, you think, important to have a shared policy and and why?*Tom Billington: *Good point. A shared policy is badly needed. However, traveling around the country, there is no one size fits all. This policy can not be something that you go online and download and change the names. It is a policy that the law enforcement and fire or EMS agencies have to actually sit down together, come up with responsibilities and how to operate. It's an important time to get with your counterpart and figure out things beforehand. As Pete was saying, very important.*Bill Godfrey: *Where do you start the conversation? If you're the fire Chief and you've got, whether it's a city police Chief or county Sheriff or some other type of law enforcement entity that you're going to be working with, and I guess we guys, we'd probably need to talk about mutual aid and the importance of that as well. Tom, how do you start that conversation?*Tom Billington: *Well, the first thing is, as the fire Chief, he better know the police Chief or Sheriff by first name. You better have that relationship. If not, you need to build that right from the start. You need to be able to go in his office or her office and vice versa, shut the door and say, "Hey, we have something we have to work on here.", and make sure you approach it that way and start the ball rolling. I guess the relationships are so important to build beforehand.*Bill Godfrey: *It really does come down to that. Adam, it reminds me as we're sitting here talking about this, I recall you were actually a part of a training incident we had where in a training session, the law enforcement agency was talking about the EMS teams going down range and the EMS team said, "What are you talking about? We haven't trained for that', now for the benefit of the audience, this was quite a number of years ago now, and the law enforcement folks said, "Well, it's in policy." It turned out that it was in the law enforcement agency's policy, and the fire department, it was news to them. Talk a little bit about that surreal moment.*Adam Pendley: *Sure. That's absolutely true. Through training law enforcement has received, again, you talk about certain assumptions are made and if those assumptions are not shared with your fire EMS counterpart, you may find yourself standing alone. I'd like to add that in many communities, we already have a structure in place to have this workshop together and start sorting through these policies and we do it with natural disasters. In my area in Florida where I'm from, we already have management from the various agencies involved sit down in a pre planning sort of way and put together a comprehensive emergency management plan for natural disasters. I would think from kind of back to the original question, the City manager or some executive level person who's in this community might ask, "Have we done a similar process for a crime of violence, for an active shooter event? Have we had that same level of comparing notes together to come up with a shared policy that we do with other natural disasters that we have in on the rest of the country?"*Bill Godfrey: *Pete, something Adam just said made me kind of click and thinking about this. He made the comment about, "We make assumptions in our policies." I know I've seen more than I would care to admit, fire policies that law enforcement shall do this, we'll do this, shall do that and never vetted with that law enforcement agency, never signed off. How common is that on the law enforcement side? What do you see at the county level, at the city level with those kinds of assumptions that people put in their policies that weren't cross-checked with the people that they're assuming they're going to execute?*Pete Kelting: *Well, we certainly hope that we are sharing information and writing policy together, but that is common, Bill. You find that from local jurisdictions, from cities to county Sheriffs, from Sheriffs to state police and other fire agencies around our region, that if we haven't worked together ahead of time to vet those policies to know that we're again, going to train in the same dynamics when it comes to response to these incidents, is crucial. I think there's committees going on now as we know through NFPA and being able to look at standards. Not only do you have the standards nationally, but you also have cultural issues in a sense, are training ways of things. We always have joked in the past a little bit about the East coast versus the West coast of how things are done. They're done differently across the country, but I think we're making great strides and coming together on training committees, on think groups through safety summits and so forth where we know we need to sit down, look at each other's policies, write them if we don't have them, vet them and make sure that we're all on the same.*Tom Billington: *If I can jump in Pete because there's two things that you said make sense. One is, you want to see the fire Chief and the police Chief or Sheriff's signature on this thing, both of them. The other thing that happens so many times that we want to make sure does not happen with this policy is, when you ask the patrolman on midnight shift or you asked the firefighter who works at a station 10 miles away, "Tell me about your active shooter policy" and they say, "I have no idea what you're talking about." This is something that it can't go on the shelf. Everybody has to know about it and it has to be drilled and trained as so.*Adam Pendley: *It's interesting that you say that because I think it's also important to include your nongovernmental organizations and your private entities that might be involved in these things as well because I can give you a recent example where, again, this was more of a natural disaster example, but every week, we got everyone at the table to start discussing policies and how they would approach the plan. We had some special needs folks who ran some facilities and it was in their policy that law enforcement would transport anyone that has a need to a special needs shelter. Law enforcement had to step up and say, "We would not have the resources for that. That's something you're going to have to be responsible for." So the same thing is going to happen, if you're successful in getting people to sit down, what's everyone's kind of touched on is, wanting to sit at the same table to make sure you de-conflict each other's policies and that you come up with a shared policy that matches industry standards. Like Pete mentioned, you get a better outcome. You're prepared for when that day comes.*Bill Godfrey: *Pete, I'm going to point this one to you. I think we've all talked about the importance of having a joint policy. It's just the easy way for the Mayor, the City Manager, the County Administrator to be able to know that those policies had been de-conflicted at the very least, as police Chief and fire Chief were on the same page. What should the Mayor, City Manager, County Administrator key in on when they run into the inevitable situation that the police Chief, fire Chief, EMS Chief, walk in, sit down for the meeting and say, "Well, here's our policy." "Well, here's our policy.", and they say there they're not going to do a joint policy, that this is fine and doesn't need to be a joint policy as we're discussing? What are the things that the Mayor or the City Manager, what do they go look for that tips them that there's still problems?*Pete Kelting: *I think when you see that trainings aren't happening together, when you have full scale exercises being conducted in regional settings and agencies aren't participating because they don't believe their policy fits that or they haven't trained to that, if they're seeing that their agency's not purchasing the right resources, that they just don't seem to have the awareness of where the active shooter response from an agency is headed across the country. You look at the recent incidents and the after action reports are clear, when we can learn from previous incidents where we can improve. Time and time again, often that failure to train together, that failure to participate in exercises, failure to support the agency through purchase of equipment, and stay on top of that readiness, that operational need to be responding to an incident, we all, you hear it again, we all say that it's never going to happen our jurisdiction, but look what's happening. It is. It's happening in our jurisdictions.*Pete Kelting: *We've got to be ready, our mayors, our Chiefs, our Sheriffs got to work together. They've got to support us with budgets and equipment and training and joint policies.*Bill Godfrey: *I think that's very succinctly put and focuses on the right thing. Well, gentlemen, let's wrap this one up here and I thank you very much for your time. For those of you that are still listening, we got nine more questions to go, so please tune in for the other nine part in this series of 10 questions that the Mayor, City Manager, County Administrator should ask their police and fire Chiefs. Thank you.

This is the time of year to plan for vacations and get ready for another NFL season. With former Seahawk center Kevin Mawae going into the Hall of Fame, Canton, Ohio, should be a great vacation destination in August. On Schooled with the Professor, we talked to Pete Fierle, the Chief of Staff and VP of Communications for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Pete went into great detail of what is available for the fans. There are plenty of things to do, from the first pre-season game, to the parade and the Saturday night enshrinement. Fierle talked about the selection process that I have been doing since 1988. He explains what we as voters go through every year. We go into the meeting the day before the Super Bowl with 15 modern day candidates. As Pete points out, more than 90 percent of them eventually get into the Hall of Fame. Each year, though, we have to say no to 10 of them and work on getting them back for the next selection. Fierle takes us through what a Hall of Famer goes through from the time he learns of his selection to the time he speaks at the enshrinement ceremony. We talk Hall of Fame on Schooled.    

“Awareness is peace.” Pete HolmesComedian! Writer! Author! Spiritual seeker!One of my favorite people, Pete Holmes needs no introduction. But I'm going to give it to you anyway.A stand up veteran with a cornucopia of comedy specials, television shows and late night appearances to his name, Pete is best known as the creator and star of the semi-autobiographical HBO show Crashing, a riotous and touching series he executive produced alongside Judd Apatow loosely based on Pete’s life in the early days of his comedy career.In addition, Pete hosts You Made It Weird – hands down one of my absolute favorite podcasts (I was honored to be a guest) — and is the author of the brilliant and just released Comedy Sex God*. Part autobiography, part philosophical inquiry, part sacred quest, I can't recommend this book more highly. Equally hilarious and profound, it hits bookstores everywhere this week. Pick it up immediately*. Read. Ponder. Thank me later.A long-time fan of Pete's, we were first introduced by our mutual friend (and former podcast guest) Rob Bell. From that moment forward I have yearned to get this fellow traveler on the show. It finally happened. And the experience is everything I hoped it would be.Comedy. Sex. God. And everything in between. We cover it all.We discuss his evangelical upbringing and how his failed attempt to live up to picture perfect standards forced him to question his faith and re-examine long-held beliefs, catalyzing the soul-seeking journey he has pursued ever since.We talk comedy and creativity. How he squares Christianity with alternative faith modalities. And what he has learned spending time with spiritual savants like Ram Dass and experimenting with psychedelics.We explore how fatherhood has impacted his spiritual and professional perspective. What it's like working with Judd Apatow. The experience of being a celebrity with a big show on HBO. And, more importantly, what happens when that show suddenly goes away.But mostly, this is a beautiful exploration of the messy, confusing, wonderful, mysterious, disorienting thing we call life.You can watch the entire conversation on YouTube at bit.ly/peteholmes441 (please subscribe!) and the podcast is of course available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.As Pete would say, GET INTO IT!Peace + Plants,Photos courtesy of Ali RogersListen, Watch & SubscribeApple Podcasts | YouTube | Spotify | Stitcher | Google PodcastsThanks to this week’s sponsors See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

One of my own personal challenges is becoming well documented through this podcast and that is learning front crawl. I was never taught as a child. I always favoured breast stroke – strictly the heads up type. It wasn’t until I did an introduction to open water swimming session with Swim the Lakes that I got some pointers about body position, and how putting my head in the water and pushing my chest down might help, especially while wearing a wetsuit with the extra buoyancy it gives you! In talking to Pete from Swim the Lakes for this episode of the podcast I’m reminded of how far I’ve come from being a complete newbie five years ago. I’ve now got a fairly quick breast stroke that can carry me nearly 2km. But I know I can go further by switching stroke, and I can stay swimming in skins by being faster and therefore not in the water for as long. I love skins. As Pete says, it is swimming at its most sensuous. But switching stroke has been like going back to childhood. I’m barely a step up from wearing armbands! Not doing much better than the four year olds in the lane next to me. I’ve had about 6 lessons so far, and this weekend I finally completed one whole length of something approaching front crawl. It’s slow progress, and could be demoralising. But I’m thriving. It’s a buzz learning something genuinely new. An interesting thing that Pete said during his interview is that we make a quantum leap as a human being by challenging ourselves. Beyond learning front crawl, I’ve also recently challenged myself by entering next year’s winter swimming championships at Lake Bled in Slovenia. I’ll be doing 25m, 50m and 100m breast stroke (I can’t imagine getting my head under to do freestyle). The biggest challenge I believe will be swimming without neoprene socks and gloves on, so I’ve started my acclimatisation early. In the North Sea at the weekend I went in with only swimsuit, hat and goggles, with the concession of a big bobble hat to give me comfort as first my feet and then my hands screamed in agony. Once the screaming stopped I made a quantum leap. I realised that I’ll be ok. I’m tough. And brave. And determined. And beyond excited! I’ll always be grateful to Swim the Lakes for setting me off on the right track as I started my wild swimming adventure. I still have no idea where it’s going to end, or where it’s going to take me. Things we talk about Swim the Lakes, Troutbeck, Rydal water, Save Grange Lido, Wim Hoff method, Birtley pool, Blackmoss Pot, Loughrigg Tarn, Grasmere, Crummock water, Wastwater, Great North Swim

Don’t think you can afford to live a life you’ve designed yourself? Think again! Pete McPherson from Do You Even Blog shares how he risked it all to live a life with more meaning. Long description: As I mentioned at the beginning of this episode, I ended up randomly meeting Pete McPherson from Do You Even Blog at a party at FinCon this past October. I liked him right away. He was so friendly, funny and full of energy. So when he non-pitched me to be a guest on my show, I couldn’t resist! And what’s even better, I was a guest on his show, the Do You Even Blog Podcast (listen to my episode here). In this episode, we talk about how Pete made the risky move of leaving his cushy corporate job to do something crazy and start his own online business. Now, you may be thinking, why did he do this? Especially when he has a family? Well, it really came down to him wanting to start living a life that had more purpose and that he designed himself. Up until he made that change in his life, he felt like he was making choices based on what he thought he was supposed to do, not what he wanted to do. And because of that, he felt unfulfilled. Money really doesn’t buy you happiness. It’s a tool, and it’s up to you to use it the way you want. You can either earn money doing something you don’t really like, and then spend that money on stuff you think will make you happy (even if for a limited time). Or, you can take the risk to do something else, earn less, but spend the money you do earn to live a life that’s more intentional. This idea of intentional living and designing your own life has become a bit of a theme on the podcast, and I think for good reason. The more millennials I talk to, the more I see a big shift happening. We’re realizing that the dream of a white picket fence, two cars and a stable job just isn’t cutting it anymore. We want more. And not more stuff, more out of life. As Pete mentioned, he has made some special videos for all my listeners at doyouevenblog.com/momoney, so make sure to check them out.

Every company needs a good website, but so many sites fail in the most basic areas. Help is at hand this week from Pete Kvist; a straight-talking and highly entertaining expert on the subject, and author of the book “Why Most Websites Suck”. He travels around the world giving speeches on the matter, but we’re lucky to have him on BBF for an hour to help you with your business. Read on for some of his sage advice: **  Think about the scare stories of when people get their car serviced but they’ve paid for something that hasn’t been done. Websites can be exactly the same. Do some basic research and watch out. **  Don’t build your own website. If you have a leak in the house you call a plumber, so you should treat websites in the same way. **  If you don’t have a website, people are still searching for you online, but the big question is: do you have control of the information that people will find about you? That’s why a good website is vital. **  Your website is not simply an online brochure. Don’t go in with too hard a sell – you need to build people’s trust. **  You only need to spend a small amount of time researching websites to protect yourself when working with web developers/designers.

In this episode, we join painter Roza Horowitz in her studio at UCL Slade School of Fine Art. In a wide-ranging conversation we explore the artistic process, the dangers of censorship, art as therapy and political correctness. Pete starts off asking how Roza handles criticism of her work, and if she can keep a professional distance between herself and what she creates. As Pete has said before, it’s important in the arts to “meet where the work is,” so the artist doesn’t feel personally attacked when his or her work is critiqued. Roza describes an early theme as “People Who Hurt Me” and how the heavy use of paint, impasto, helped her exorcise personal demons and get them onto the canvas. But now, as a more mature artist, she no longer paints people she knows, so the work is less personal. Discussing the greats – Picasso and Matisse – Horowitz has praise for how they were able “to get to the essence with the minimal. It looks easy, but it is very difficult.” Matisse’s exquisite line drawings come to mind; his ability to convey character with three squiggly lines. Paul asks whether Roza wants her work to be arresting or, instead, accessible, something people hang in their living rooms. No artist wants to be considered anodyne, she explains, but at the same time it serves no purpose if you “stand above the audience” and are understood by only a few. Perhaps the contradiction of the avant garde is that they lead the way, but must bring folks with them, as well, or risk becoming irrelevant. In Hollywood we often see this, with big actors doing one film for commercial reasons, the next one a passion piece that makes no money. Moving onto the craft of painting, we discuss one of Roza’s favourites, Goya. His ability to convey character is exceptional, she explains, and points to his use of the grotesque to reveal a subject’s true intention. The grotesque is often achieved by slight exaggeration of a physical attribute, such as an elongated smile, or individuated teeth. Such painting reminds Paul of the Joker from the Batman series, at turns familiar and menacing. Pete then brings up what is perhaps a key discipline in any art form: knowing when to stop. To put the brush or the pen down takes confidence, when fiddling is so tempting. But that is the bane of the inexperienced artist who overdraws or overwrites (or overcooks) and thereby ruins the meal. “Better to stop early than go too far,” cautions Roza. We discuss some technical methods which Roza is currently using, such as projection and painting alla prima (all at once) before moving on to our final topic: political correctness in art. Shakespeare used the court jester to reveal his true feelings about Queen Elizabeth, thereby saving his head. Likewise, Roza uses humour to reveal commentary in her work that would be unpalatable if served head-on. Peter follows up by asking if we can ever separate an artist’s character from their work, citing Richard Wagner and Eric Gill. Wagner’s anti-semitic beliefs have been well chronicled, and Gill was a renown and decorated British artist whose diary posthumously revealed extreme sexual predilections, including incest and bestiality. Can we ever enjoy works by such men or women without a tinge of disappointment? The three of us discuss.

On a recent trip to Nashville, I stopped at Dave Ramsey's headquarters to visit Eric Anthony, the producer of the Entreleadership podcast. I had met Eric at the Podcast Movement conference last year and had worked with him a bit when Lee Cockerell was on the Entreleadership podcast. So I stopped in to say Hello and spent time chatting with Eric and Ken Colemen, who hosts the show. While I was there, Dave Ramsey was recording his radio show, and a couple was waiting in the lobby to do the Debt Free Scream.  Do you know about the debt free scream? I didn't want to miss a good debt free scream, so I hung out in the lobby to watch. The couple did a short interview with Dave and finish with the scream to announce their freedom. When they were done, Dave Ramsey came out into the lobby to say hello to them in person. Since I was in the lobby, I had the chance to meet Dave. This was not the first time I met Dave Ramsey, though. I have paid attention to Dave Ramsey for years. Even when I did not take his advice, I was paying attention. Dave Ramsey helped transform my kid's attitudes and actions towards money through Financial Peace Junior. My wife and I are students of Financial Peace University, I have listened to Dave's radio show, and read a couple of his books. Although I don't remember how I heard Dave Ramsey was looking for volunteers for a Seattle event, when I heard he was looking for volunteers to help his team I did not hesitate for a moment. I have organized many events; concerts, Sea Stories, puppet shows, Hispanic Heritage Celebration, and the Scandinavian Cold and Flu Festival.  Working as a volunteer for Dave's event would be an opportunity to experience, first hand and behind the scenes, how professionals put on an event. I submitted a volunteer application and was delighted to be accepted as part of the team. The evening of the Living a Legacy event, ten volunteers gathered before the event and received instruction from Dave's team on our assignments for the evening. I was selected  to work  the Back Stage Experience, where I got to meet Dave and his lovely daughter, Rachel Ramsey Cruze. I learned plenty from hearing Dave talk to the small backstage crowd. Of course, I learned watching Dave on stage. But the biggest lesson I learned was from a member of Dave's team. Before the event, before the volunteers had done any work, Pete, one of Dave's team members, gathered us together to explain how the evening would unfold. As Pete explained the importance of the volunteers greeting guests as they enter, he said “The first few minutes set the tone. If not, Dave will not be able to connect with the audience”. Listen to that again. “The first few minutes set the tone. If not, Dave will not be able to connect with the audience. Imagine if we all viewed customer service that way. What if we took responsibility to set a tone to ensure anyone in our organization will connect with the customer? How would you change the way you answer the phone? How would you act when a customer interrupts when you are busy? How would you treat the opportunity of being face to face with a customer? What if your biggest role was to make sure the next person is able to connect with the customer. Let's take a doctor's office. The receptionist sets the tone for a nurse to make a connection with the customer. The nurse sets the tone for the doctor. This makes front line the most important part of an organization. In your case, front line could be the person who answers the phone. The person who greets people at the door, or checks people in as they arrive. Once we can connect with customers we can build relationships. Once we build relationships, then we can get work done.

Pete Abrams and Monty Allsop are the Law Enforcement Liaisons with the Highway Safety Program of the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Wyoming is a geographically large but largely rural state, which poses a distinct set of challenges for LELs, particularly in encouraging participation in traffic enforcement campaigns and in maintaining relationships with far-flung law enforcement agencies. As Pete says, "the biggest thing is that personal contact – you’ve got to get out in the field, and you’ve got to get to know these people." Hear more in this podcast.

The Raider Nation Podcast/Videocast crew (Greg and Randy) traveled to Kansas City for our annual Raiders away game of 2009. The Chiefs fans were very gracious hosts and Raider Nation was well represented at the game, as you can see in this video. Raider Greg was lucky enough to get an interview with Raiders legend RB Pete Banaszak. As Pete tells us in the video, he played 13 years for the Raiders (the only team he ever played for). During his 13 seasons the Raiders went to the playoffs 10 times, including 2 Superbowl victories. Others tailgating with us were Gorilla Rilla, Hulk Hogan Raider, The Million Dollar Raider, Rhinestone Raider, Hillbilly Raider, Juan Jorge, Nebraska Raider, Raider Jake from Iowa, and many more. We also got a few words from some Chiefs fans.
