Deep in the heart of Texas there's a tiny canine sleuth on the case. I loved talking to Texas cozy mystery author Cat Clayton about her mystery series featuring dog groomer Steely Lamarr and her loyal companion, a Chihuahua named Cuff. The Steely and Cuff mysteries are perfect for mystery lovers who like a dash of romance and a splash of quirkiness in their books. Cat's interview is perfectly timed because I think we all need a dose of the comfort that comes from reading about dogs, their loving owners, and mysteries that have a tidy resolution! In the introduction, I mention some of my favorite comforting mystery novels, podcasts, TV shows and movies with the intention of providing suggestions for comfort if you need it in these challenging times. This week's mystery author Cat Clayton writes from somewhere deep in the heart of Texas, crafting a literary crossroads where mystery, humor, the paranormal, and a dash of romance intersect. She adores her family, spoils her (half-dozen +1) pets, is a self-proclaimed coffee snob, and a thrift store junky. When she’s not writing, she’s thinking about writing, and when she’s not doing either, she attempts CrossFit. Press play (above) to listen to the show, or read the transcript below.

Excerpt from How to Leash a Thief I declared it pie o’clock somewhere and shoved a forkful of Very Berry Scrumptious in my mouth, as I attempted to decipher the troubled expression on my boyfriend’s face, while he spat hushed, clipped words into his cell phone. The same phone issued to him by the Buckleville Police Department. Even though I couldn’t hear anything, it didn’t take Sherlock to figure out the unidentified caller had delivered bad news. Trouble had arrived in Buckleville. To distract my curiosity, I dug in for another bite. The yummy combination of buttery crust and the yin-yang of sweet and tart touched my soul. In my book, pie made everything better. I leaned in, listening to Nick’s phone call. My cheeky Chihuahua, Cuff, sat perched on my lap. His head followed my fork back and forth, bulging amber eyes begging. Nick backed up a few paces—enough to evade my prying ears. Doggonit. Moments ago, we’d been arguing over the fact he’d caught me going through his things. Again. I couldn’t help myself. Recently, I’d found a receipt for a bouquet of long-stemmed red roses from the Crazy Daisy. A bouquet I’d never received. Nick’s Bull Mastiff, Trigger, snoozed in the kitchen. His massive body lay sprawled on the tile floor, drooling. Cuff had been a moment of weakness while driving out of the Buckleville Food’s parking lot. One glimpse at the older male pup caged in a rickety-wired monstrosity, and I melted. It was love at first sight. “Who is it?” I whispered to Nick. I set my pie plate down on the counter and put Cuff on the floor. He padded over next to Trigger and collapsed. He lowered his tiny muzzle between his two front paws and eyed me. With his cell phone glued to his ear, Nick scowled. I glanced over at the framed picture of us from last Christmas. I’d met Nick Campbell last winter at the downtown Holiday Stroll after he’d transferred to Buckleville PD. My first real, intimate relationship, and I intended to make it last. Before Nick, I was a 25-year-old virgin, a hopeless old-school romantic; it still happens. Despite “friendly advice” and “prayerful thought” from others, who thought we were moving too quickly, I tumbled head over boot heels in love. But our romance had taken a turn for bitter and questionable, like milk gone blinky. Glaring in my direction, Nick reached over and snatched the small notepad he carried while on duty. No stranger to trouble, I recognized the look.

Additional Training for Concealed Firearm Carriers with Jordan Bradley Our first episode of the season kicks off with a bang! A lot of firearm Owners had the benefit of growing up with firearms in their household and had certain tactics and training ingrained into their memory as children (like Pete). Unfortunately, for a large amount of people interested in firearms this was not an option (like Nick). Before Nick picked up a firearm and starting shooting he took a “handgun basics” class. The class lasted about four hours, but covered basic safety rules, including dry and live firing exercises. This class might not have been comprehensive, but provided more than enough training for him to reach the level of comfort needed to go to the range by himself. However, it’s always been clear to him that his skills could always improve with additional training. Many people’s first experience with firearms are classes required to obtain your concealed carry permit. At the time of this recording 38 states require a training class prior to obtaining your permit. While it’s our constitutional right and honestly awesome that the remaining states don’t require you to take this class, it is always a good idea to use your best judgment and realize if and when you should take some sort of training. In this episode we’re going to talk about training that every concealed firearm carrier or even firearm owner should invest in. To help us out, we brought Jordan Bradley on as a guest. Jordan has ten years of experience in law enforcement with time spent on the force as a member of a SWAT team and firearms instructor. As an instructor he has taught multiple classes including courses in active shooters and close quarters battle. Currently he works for the Department of Defense. Topics and Questions Addressed in This Episode: Should you be a concealed firearm carrier? What should you know before becoming a concealed firearm carrier? What is the minimum amount of training a new concealed firearm carrier should have? Do you have the humility to know how much training you need and to accept that you need that training? What type of CCW class is right for you? What type of basic safety training should every concealed firearm carrier acquire? What are some advanced training tactics that a concealed firearm carrier can pursue? How much training should you have to be effective as a concealed firearm carrier? Are you prepared to handle yourself both before and after a gunfight?

Nick Gray is the founder of Museum Hack, a twist on the traditional museum experience. The funny thing about Nick is, he used to hate museums. That is until he went on a date that forever changed his life. During a snowy day in NYC, a girl brought him to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and showed him artifacts, furniture, and other interesting things in the museum. This changed Nick’s perception of what a museum tour could be. That’s when he started frequenting the MET, and learned to love museums. The first time Nick charged for a museum tour, he even tried to give money back to the people who took it. He had so much fun with the tour that he thought he shouldn’t charge people for it. “The first tour that I actually charged money for, it was a Sunday morning tour at 11 in the morning, and I was like ‘Alright I’ll just see if I can charge money. I’ll charge them $20. See if they come.’ And everyone gave me their cash, and I gave them the tour. And I had so much fun Kevin, I had so much fun, that at the end of the tour, I think I freaked everybody out because I gave them all of their money back. And they were like ‘Why are you giving us… is this Candid Camera or something?’ and I was like “No, I had so much fun. It feels dirty for me to take your money, to do something that I love, something that I’m having so much fun with.’ So for me that was the first time I experimented, but it didn’t really go so well.” Before Nick started Musuem Hack he was a salesman of flat screen monitors. But the success of his initial tours, and the experience he gained as a salesman, allowed him to turn his passion project into a business. “What I think is special about what I’ve done with Museum Hack that your listeners might find fascinating, is that I took something that was a passion project, something that I just did for a hobby, for fun, and I was able to convert it and make it into a business. And my time selling these screens really taught me the importance of marketing and sales and dollar value of creating premium experiences. So for me that was really helpful.” The thing that makes Museum Hack different from other museum tours is what Nick likes to dub the 3 G’s. While most other tours are zigging, Museum Hack is zagging. “The three Gs. These are the three things that makes Museum Hack completely different from most museum tours. Three Gs. Number one, guides. Number two, games. and number three gossip. So it’s the tour guides that are so engaging, that are actors and educators, and science teachers, and musicians who write their own tours who are so special. That’s the guides. The games means that the tours are so fast paced. They’re ultra fast paced. They’re two to three times as fast as most museum tours. And we also do selfie challenges. We takes shots of espresso or drink some wine. And then the gossip, that’s the juicy back story. The cool stuff about the art that we like to talk about.” Instead of trying to find people who are knowledgeable in history and museums, Nick hires guides who are good with people. Anyone can learn about art, but not everyone is good at connecting with people. “The number one thing we look for is someone’s ability to be a good host. How is their body language? How comfortable to they make people? Do they make us laugh? That’s the most important thing. It’s not about their knowledge. It’s not about how much they know about the art history. It’s about how do they make the guests feel. Because that’s what we’re trying to do, right? We’re trying to make people comfortable and we’re trying to get them to warm up inside the space. So that’s really what we hire for first and foremost. And then we can teach them about the art. We can teach them about the museum… We hire folks that are really good with people.” He also gives his guides the freedom to create their own tours. When you are building something yourself, you become passionate about it. So, Nick gives them the freedom to come up with their own tours and write their own scripts. “We think that having our tour guides write their own tours is so powerful because the guests and the visitors can hear that excitement and that passion, and you can hear me talk right now, right? I’m excited. I’m pumped up. I’m jazzed to talk about my business with you, and that’s because I’m not going off a script. No one is telling me what to do. Our tour guides have to be the same way, so we let them explore the whole museum, come up with their own tours, stuff that they’re excited about and they write their own scripts.” One would think that competing with instant gratification culture would be a detriment to Museum Hack, but it isn’t. Nick tells his guides to embrace people’s attention spans and work it into their tours. “We’re dealing with an increasingly ADD generation. These are people that are like me that are on their phones every two or three minutes. I mean, it’s not just millenials. It’s people of all ages that have a short attention span, and we try to teach our museum friends ways to engage with that type of audience. Make it personal. Keep it fast. Don’t be afraid of smart phones. Encourage people to take selfies and pictures. Things like that.” In a world where museums can seem stale and uninteresting, Nick has captured people’s imaginations. That sort of innovation requires curiosity, risks, and failures, and that’s exactly what he has done with Museum Hack. “Figuring out like you did, people who have that curiosity, and people who are willing to troubleshoot and make failures, and I’m guessing the podcast hasn’t been perfect since day one, would that be a correct assumption?… That willingness to make mistakes and resourcefulness to figure things out. Those are two key things we look for.” Read more shownotes from episode 92
When Bootstrapping your farm, it's important to test out your ideas with your market. Before Nick learned about lean startup and minimum viable products, testing and selling at Crossfit Gyms acted as an important step in developing the salad subscription service that would redefine his farm's purpose. In this episode, we learn how early success and a quick drop off in sales prompted deeper questions to healthy people's buying habits and relationships with food.
Before Nick and Karilyn return, Nick checks in with brother Chris and Dan Thomas to preview the AFL finals, who can possibly topple Richmond, the catastrophic failure at Carlton, the fortunes of the teams from outside the eight, the crapshoot of the NRL, and Chris and Nick's horse goes for a gallop.
