He enjoys listening to podcast about tech, finance, and economics, along with playing tennis every now and again.In his past venture, Pukar was on the one yard line for making a deal on his company. Before it could close, his team was hit with a security due diligence questionnaire that halted the process.

Born in Tustin, California, James Nestor spent his teens surfing and playing in a straight-edge punk band called Care Unit. After graduating high school, he moved to the Bay Area, where he studied art and literature and earned an MFA.  Nestor's professional life began as a copywriter. Soon he moved into magazine journalism. His essays and features have appeared in Outside, Scientific American, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Dwell, The Surfer's Journal, and many others. His 2014 book, DEEP: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves, follows clans of extreme athletes, adventurers, and scientists as they plumb the ocean's depths and uncover surprising new discoveries. But his big book is, of course, 2020's Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, which explores the million-year-long history of how we humans have lost the ability to breathe properly, and why we're suffering from various maladies because of it. Along with drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Nestor also found answers in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo. In sum, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. Nestor has been a guest speaker at Stanford Medical School, Harvard Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, and the United Nations. He currently lives in Portugal.  In this episode of Soundings, Nestor talks with Jamie Brisick about the fundamentals of breathwork, Ocean Beach, growing up in Orange County, his early days as a reporter, the values of freediving, and writing books. Produced by Jonathan Shifflett. Music by PazKa (Aska Matsumiya & Paz Lenchantin).

Feel trapped at a nine-to-five job that promises “success” but robs you of all joy, peace, and freedom? Today's guest was in the same boat, but when everything came to a head, she traded it all for a new life that would allow her to pursue actual financial freedom—with rental properties! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Casey Nguyen had (almost) everything. She and her husband were making seven figures and owned a beautiful home in the Bay Area, but they were working around the clock—and they were miserable. So, when they had reached their breaking point, they did what most wouldn't: they moved to a lower cost-of-living area and started investing in real estate. Casey has since built and scaled her real estate portfolio to seven properties across Texas, North Carolina, Ohio, and their new home state of Kentucky, where they have recently launched an Airbnb that will bring in over $50,000 this year. With each day, Casey is one step closer to her ultimate goal: more time with her family, the flexibility to travel the world, and more than enough money to fuel it. In This Episode We Cover How Casey scaled to seven rental properties in just three years The cross-country move that helped this couple fast-track their investments Trading extreme job burnout for more time, flexibility, and financial freedom A lucrative side hustle that could help fund your rental portfolio How Casey netted $460,000 (tax-free) by selling her primary home The Red River Gorge condo that will bring in over $50,000 this year And So Much More!

Your boy is back from paternity hiatus with another banger! Preposterously prolific San Francisco composer, producer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist OTIS McDONALD is finally here. Hallelujah! Gov't name Joe Bagale, Otis has turned Hyde Street's Studio D — a hallowed sacred ground in the annals of funk/rock/hip-hop history — into a potent personal laboratory where he generates/facilitates a steady flow of ridiculously dope records. The in-demand music man slides through episode 095 for a lengthy, illuminating upful discussion; BG also checks back in with Derrick 'Smoker' Freeman [SOUL Brass Band, Shadow People Podcast]; and later introduces rising NorCal guitarist/solo artist Piet Dalmolen. 0:00 - ep.095 preview 3:00 - SOUL Brass Band - NorCal run late January 4:00 - BISS List - Bay Area fan hub/newsletter 5:45 - The UPFUL Update 12:00 - introducing OTIS McDONALD 15:15 - INTERVIEW - Otis [117m] 2:12:15 - DERRICK 'Smoker' FREEMAN 2:28:00 - Introducing/Interview: PIET DALMOLEN [30m] 2:58:15 - Afterglow x ViBE Junkie Jam Otis McDonald released an original track every Friday for three years during the pandemic, though he since pumped the brakes to every third week. In addition, the gifted producer/engineer and sideman has delivered assorted crucial collabs with the likes of Eric Krasno, Nicholas Payton, Aloe Blacc, Wil Blades, Charlie Hunter, among others. Across two-plus decades in the Bay Area, he's worked extensively with scene stalwarts Jazz Mafia, Atta Kid, and their various spinoffs/side trips; Bagale even logged a couple years fronting an iteration of Mickey Hart Band on keys, guitar, and lead vocals.  Long before he moved into Hyde Street Studio D (the site of famed Wally Heider Studio in SF, where so many classic records were brought to life), Otis McDonald had become a ubiquitous presence online. He was repeatedly commissioned by YouTube and Facebook for free audio libraries offering copyright-free music to help video creators enhance their work. The dude has recorded hundreds of tunes that have been soundtracked in tens of millions of videos streamed into the billions! A Bay Area underground hero, multi-instrumentalist & all-world producer, keeper of the legendary Hyde Street Studio in SF, a streaming-era pioneer, & erstwhile music culture/industry philosopher: episode 095 welcomes OTIS McDONALD!    Episode 095 checks back with Derrick "Smoker" Freeman of SOUL Brass Band [Episode 008 circa 2018!] to discuss their imminent NorCal run at the end of January.

San Francisco Airport's Fear of Flying Clinic Welcomes Nervous Passengers Aboard If your stomach drops at the thought of getting on an airplane, you're not alone. Millions of Americans share a fear of flying. Some psychologists say the way through it is to rewire the brain, by gradually facing the very thing that feels dangerous. But you can't just hop on a plane whenever you want to practice. That's where a Bay Area program hosted at San Francisco International Airport can help. For nearly 50 years, they've been helping uneasy travelers get back in the air. Reporter Evan Roberts brings us the story from five miles up. San José's Batman, Fighting for the Unhoused, Is the Real Life Superhero ‘We Need' If you happen to be in downtown San José at night, you might spot a man in a mask, wearing a black and purple cape and toting a cart full of supplies.. This is the Batman of San José — a volunteer who has spent nearly eight years walking the city at night to help unhoused residents. He's a far cry from the vigilantes of comic books. He isn't swooping from rooftops, seeking revenge or delivering justice through fists. His superpower is noticing people who feel ignored, and offering them food, first aid supplies, and sometimes, being someone they can confide in. KQED's Srishti Prabha brings us his story.

Marin County singer-songwriter, community and music collaborator Jon Chi joins “Only In The Green Room” as the first guest under the show's new banner—recorded in the Sweetwater Music Hall Green Room before Jon played to a packed house for his birthday show at the iconic venue. In a conversation full of gratitude, community love, and live-music philosophy, Jon reflects on how the Terrapin scene helped shape his musical orbit, why vulnerability is where the magic lives, and how live shows remain irreplaceable—no matter what AI does to recorded music. Special guests Stephanie Salva (Tumbleweed Soul) and Elliot Peck (Midnight North, Phil Lesh & Friends) pop in before joining Jon on stage, adding stories about collaborations, harmonies, and the deep relationships built through the Bay Area music community. Creators & Guests Tami Larson - Host Dennis Strazulo - Host Creators & Guests Tami Larson - Host Dennis Strazulo - Host Creators & Guests Tami Larson - Host Dennis Strazulo - Host   The “how lucky am I to have stumbled into this community?” moment—and why Jon leads with love The Terrapin Crossroads/Marin/Bay Area musician ecosystem (and all the overlap that makes it work) - spawning collaborations and lasting friendships Jon's musical roots: Massachusetts → Berklee College of Music → Bay Area scene The JP McClean (Melvin Seals JGB)) origin story: their first day as students at Berklee,  a chart that looked like “hieroglyphics,” and instant respect  Vulnerability on stage: choosing connection over perfection The “Yoga Mafia” crossover: how Now Yoga in Corte Madera became part of the music ecosystem Dead nights + mashups: blending Bee Gees, Biggie, Lou Reed, and more into jam setsWidespread Panic as Jon's “first jam band show”—and later collaborating with bassist Dave SchoolsThe passing-down tradition: Jon's kids performing and singing at shows Guest drop-ins: Stephanie shares what she's working on (Tumbleweed Soul, new trio, gigs with Dave Nelson Band) Elliot talks first duo collaboration with Jon, returning from hiatus, and community support Jon Chi's Birthday Show All-Star lineup: Sean Nelson — Drums Angeline Saris — bass Jordan Feinstein — keys Minglewood Lewis Jr. — percussion Patrick Byers, Natalie John, Andrew Ferren - Horns Elliott Peck and Stephanie Salva - Vocals Memorable moments & quotes: “I mean, I want to talk about how much I love everyone.” “I'd rather make a bunch of mistakes on stage and stay open to connect with people.” “If you're willing to share vulnerabilities, that's where deeper relationships grow.” “Even if AI disrupts recorded music—how do you ever replace live music?” Topics that hit hard: Why this scene works: It's collaborative, supportive, and built on people being decent humans and strong musicians.Why live music wins: Because it's shared presence, unrepeatable moments, and real connection.Why mashups matter: They expand the audience and keep traditions alive without turning them into copies. If you're new here… This episode is a love letter to the Bay Area's live music ecosystem—where jam culture, original music, yoga communities, and deep friendships all collide in the best way.Tags  John Chi, Only in the Green Room, Sweetwater Music Hall, Terrapin Crossroads community, Bay Area music scene, jam band culture, live music podcast, Grateful Dead community, improv music, vulnerability on stage, post-COVID live music, Now Yoga Corte Madera, Elliot Peck, Stephanie Tumbleweed Soul, Dave Schools, Widespread Panic

Bay Area police departments say automated license plate readers contracted by an Atlanta-based company called Flock Safety have been a powerful tool for solving crime.

Today's central theme revolves around the significant winter weather conditions that are anticipated to impact various regions, particularly the Great Lakes and Interior Northeast. The Weather Prediction Center has identified a high likelihood of severe snow accumulation, with multiple winter storm and blizzard warnings currently in effect across several states.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Emily Winston. Emily, founder and CEO of Boichik Bagels, spent years obsessively reverse-engineering the “holy grail” New York bagel. She then took a hard left from saver mode into founder mode. This involved redeploying her nest egg, raising money one bagel tasting at a time and learning what financial “success” feels like when your time and most of your net worth is tied up in the business you're building. Emily is a lifelong foodie, mechanical engineer and Founder & CEO of Boichik Bagels. She grew up in NJ, and after moving to the Bay Area in 2010, bemoaned the lack of good bagels, and eventually set out on a quest to create them herself, which has now grown into a small chain of twelve shops in California plus wholesale and supermarket sales. When Passion Becomes the Plan Emily's journey reminds us that success isn't just about playing it safe or following a proven path. It's often shaped by obsession, experimentation, and the courage to redirect your savings—and your life—toward something you believe in. If you're navigating a pivot of your own—whether launching a venture or rethinking how your money supports your goals—an Aspiriant advisor can help you explore those decisions with clarity and intention. Follow Money Tales on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube Music for more real stories about money and meaning.

Marin Country rang in the New Year with the worst flooding in decades.

The question now is how well cities and regional agencies will respond and make changes. We'll talk about the floods and what it will take to adapt to rising sea levels in the Bay Area.
