He explains that everyone is always in some form of transition, whether it's forced or voluntary. Transition, according to Chris, is crucial for growth and should be embraced even when it brings discomfort or pain. He emphasizes the importance of being real and honest with oneself during transitions, shedding political correctness and addressing one's true feelings and situations. Chris concludes by encouraging listeners to stay ahead of necessary transitions to maintain personal growth.

A day beacon (or daybeacon) is defined simply as an unlighted nautical sea mark, serving to aid navigation during the day. The U.S. Coast Guard maintains many modern day beacons around the country, but the subject of this episode is the historic day beacons of New England. Some of them date back more than 200 years, and they have fascinating stories to tell -- tales of shipwrecks, pirates, and more. Joining host Jeremy D'Entremont is Bob Trapani Jr., who is the executive director of the American Lighthouse Foundation and a lighthouse technician, as well as an aficionado of all kinds of aids to navigation.

This week, I sit down with the spookiest sippin' spot around tahn, Necromancer Brewing. Ben Butler and Lauren Hughes are the brains behind this operation, along with their team full of ghouls. Ben, the owner, had a dream to open a brewery in the North Hills. After gaining a love for craft beer early on, he knew he wanted to build something great of his own. All he needed was the right person to brew the goods! That is where we meet Head Brewer, Lauren Hughes. After some friends at Dancing Gnome connected Ben with Lauren, they started to get to work manifesting exactly what Necromancer Brewing would become. This week, we talk about their initiations into the craft beer scene, building out the brewery, the logistics behind their operation, resurrecting forgotten beers from the past, and most importantly - what they stand for as a business. Necromancer prides themselves on being a safe space that welcomes every type of person out there. They wanted to build something where everyone could come and enjoy great beers, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. If you like great beers, check them out!

Are our regulators better equipped to deal with a tech company employing the same aggressive tactics Uber did when it was expanding between 2013 - 2017? A massive data leak suggests Uber broke laws, duped police and secretly lobbied governments between 20-13 and 20-17 when the company was rapidly growing. It's been revealed extreme tactics were deployed in Europe, but the Australian arm of Uber also engaged in dodgy practices. Ben Butler from the Guardian Australia joins us with a fascinating long lens look at UBER and how this big market disruptor has made our lives more convenient, but raised lots of issues.

How to Tell a Story with Your Beer through Design, with Ben Butler of Top Hat

Reuben's Sightglass

Design is one of the least discussed but potentially most important things a brewery can do to tell their story. If you do it well you will  connect with your customer, helping to build a critical and lasting bond, or as Ben Butler of Top Hat puts it, a "gentle handshake." This is especially true for new breweries trying to make their mark in the crowded marketplace today: how will your customers know what you stand for and what you are trying to say? And how will you stand out on the shelf with packaging that communicates this same message?Ben Butler founded Pittsburgh's Top Hat design and marketing agency before he had even graduated from college. His energy, passion, and entrepreneurial spirit - along with partner Aaron Easler and the whole Top Hat team - have propelled his agency to the forefront of craft brewery design and branding. Beginning with their "Will Work for Beer" campaign that drew the attention of their first brewery client Lord Hobo Brewing, leading to an impressive (and award-winning) brand refresh of Pittsburgh's iconic Iron City Beer, and on to successful projects for the likes of us at Reuben's Brews, Top Hat has made a mark as an innovative partner for breweries and other small businesses to refine their storytelling through design.Adam and Matt at Reuben's Brews are equally passionate about the role that storytelling and design have with connecting the consumer to the true mission of a brewery. When we embarked on our brand refresh project in 2019, even before connecting with Ben and Top Hat, we spent considerable time delving in to the "Why" of Reuben's Brews: the reason we brew and the reason we push to be better. In the closing notes of this episode Adam brings up the seminal "Start with Why" TED Talk by Simon Sinek which is worth watching for anyone who is interested in branding.This episode concludes the fourth season of Reuben's Sightglass and hopefully provides a capstone to this overview of the Business of Beer.--The fourth season of Reuben's Sightglass dives deep into the Business of Beer. Listeners will learn about the backend of the brewery businesses, the highs and lows, mistakes and wins, and what makes a good beer vs what makes a great beer. Let this season guide you through your personal beer story.It's time to embark on your beer journey.

Anna is a young and talented ceramics artist who just graduated from art school (DURING A PANDEMIC!). In this episode, we discuss Anna's experiences with ADHD and the side effects of medication (the choice between one's physical health and the ability to focus). We chat about managing social anxiety, what it feels like to work with clay, and many other fun things! Check it out!   Bio: Anna Wagner was born in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and has lived most of her life in Wichita, Kansas. In 2014, she moved to Arkansas to receive her Associates of General Studies at Arkansas State University - Beebe. From 2015 - 2020, she attended UCA and graduated with a BFA in emphasis in Ceramics. In undergrad, Anna received Internship Scholarships for artist Jason Briggs (2020) and the Clay Art Center (2019). Other scholarships include a one-week class scholarship for Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (2019), UCA Performance Scholarship (2018-2019), Wingate Foundation Scholarship (2018-2019), and Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship (2015-2019). The artist was awarded The Student of the Year (Spring 2020), Senior Show Exhibition Honors (Fall 2019), and Honorable Mention for the Annual Student Competitive (Spring 2019). She was interviewed for UCA Artist Spotlight on ESPN (2019) and was interviewed for the UCA Vortex Podcast (2019). Throughout academia, Anna was an active member of four of UCA's fine art clubs: Vice President in Clay Club (2018-2020); Sculpture Club (2017-2018); and BFA Critique Club (2018-2019). She and her peers brought multiple arts and professional development opportunities at UCA, such as: reaching out to artists and bringing community events like fundraisers, field trips, ceramic sales, pop-up shows, and public outreach. Anna volunteered and demoed for art events around Conway such as the Empathy Project (2019), Eco Arts Fest (2018), and Female Foundry iron pour (2018). She assisted and taught clay building and pottery throwing for her internship at the Clay Art Center in NY (2019), Downtown Conway (2019), Clay Club's Potluck (2018), and has taught a basic figurative drawing session for her Study Abroad group in Spain (2018). She has also assisted artists, such as interning Jason Briggs (2020), Adam Chau at the Clay Art Center gallery (2019), visiting artist Peter Pincus (2018), and visiting artist Ben Butler (2017). Artist Statement: My body of work stems from the perspective of someone dealing with ADHD and draws attention to the effects of taking Adderall mentally, socially, and physically. Since I began discussing my experiences a few years ago, I have gathered inspiration from those who have dealt with similar disabilities and medication side effects. With that I began illustrating these narratives through portraiture and some text. The functional ceramic shapes signify my personal struggles with medications that restrained my appetite. The looseness of the forms juxtaposes against the detailed renderings of the portraits; a constant battle between who I truly am verses who I wish to be. The individuals in my work are drained of color yet see and experience world of gaiety and distractions. Since childhood I have enjoyed the loud and vivid cartoons from comic books and television shows. These vibrant hues find their way to the vessel forms. The translation results in bright, colorful objects that seem to vibrate and hum with potential energy. Aiding in this perceived movement, I created forms from pieced together shapes sometimes making no sense as separate parts but finding their place as supports, feet, lids, or additions. This discombobulation can be said as well for anyone with invisible mental disabilities, finding their place and support in a community recognizing the struggles of those dealing with it. If the vessels are used in a utilitarian sense, the imagery or discussion with these portraits would be disrupted. Therefore, the function of these vessels is not the primary reason they are vessels, but rather used as an esthetic, similar to the repeated “?!” speech bubble referencing confusion. All to discuss the absence of a desire for food while taking Adderall. Some of the portraits chosen are of those who have dealt with learning disabilities and felt ‘othered' and outcasted in some way. The work is physically structured and presented as portraits of those who need a voice, filling the empty forms with stories, each one echoing my own.
