Podcast appearances and mentions of bill nielsen

After more than a decade on a merry-go-round, nine long-term treatment visits wondering if he would ever get it right, Bill Nielsen realized that we can misuse anything externally to fill a void internally. Drugs and alcohol are merely symptoms.   "No more Band-aids on bullet wounds." This was a statement made by today's guest, Bill Nielsen. He will share his years of experience as a high-functioning and high-performing sales representative while using substances to cope with stress.   His journey has taken him from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.  Bill Nielsen, the founder of nascent24, is a Recovery and Life Coach who supports executives and professionals who struggle with substance misuse to find freedom from dependency without having to leave their jobs, homes, or families. He combines his lived experiences with his knowledge, training, and certification as a CRSW (Certified Recovery Support Worker) to walk his clients through his proven three-step process. It is designed to get to the root cause of unhealthy behaviors and sets its clients up for a healthy and successful future. In addition to 1:1 coaching, Bill is available for sober companionship, speaking engagements, group facilitation, and as a consultant to treatment centers and other programs.

Throughout his tenure at Merck, Ken Frazier made it a point to stand up for his principles. Unlike most CEOs, Ken was once his company's CCO. That experience prepared him to think multi-stakeholder and pass decisions through the lens of the company's character and values. At the 2022 Page Spring Seminar, Ken sat down with industry icon and longtime Page member Bill Nielsen, in what would go on to be the highest-rated conference session in Page history. They discussed Ken's leadership philosophy, his love for the communications function, and the role business can play in bettering society.

A heart as big as Phar Lap’s. Journalist Peter Luck’s ground breaking interview with Mary McCann in the late 1990’s includes horse vet Bill Nielsen’s confession to his daughter – “It’s not Phar Lap’s heart, it’s a draught horse’s!” Portions of Phar Lap’s heart pieces that were cut out and put in separate jars in 1932, are sent to a cutting edge lab in France for DNA testing. We take into account the entirety of all my findings, of all the evidence. Not long before his death Tommy Woodcock is diplomatic yet explicit and reveals what really happened to Phar Lap.

A recap - The indisputable facts - Horse vet Bill Nielsen’s devious behaviour leaves traces. Bill fails to report the ‘medicine’ he dosed Phar Lap with on the early morning of his death, instead blaming Tommy Woodcock for grazing Phar Lap on arsenic sprayed pasture. Mob historian Christian Cipollini puts the birth of the mob’s so called ‘Murder Inc’ in 1932 into perspective to reveal the unified, deadly nature of the Syndicate, coast to coast, across the whole country. Australian journalist Bert Wolfe was at the scene when Phar Lap died and firmly believed the great horse was deliberately poisoned. Was competitive millionaire race horse owner Willis Sharpe Kilmer involved? Does the metal box containing Phar Lap’s remains, that Bill Nielsen buried at Menlo Park, contain Phar lap’s real heart?

After a bit of a hiatus, we are back and chatting perhaps one of the nerdiest inventions in a long time...Magic The Gathering. A pastime SO nerdy, it was intended to be played between DnD Sessions.  Joining me to discuss all things about this magical card game are T Scott Ross, Pete Navis, and Bill Nielsen (of So Many Bits). We review the history of Magic The Gathering, and it's interactions with DnD. We chat about how the game has changed over the years, and it's growth in popularity. More importantly, we touch on the competitive nature of the game...and it's strange stock and trade business. It's been described as "The Greatest form of Strategy Competition after Chess." Listen and see if that's true!

The Border Barons - Satan’s Playground - Hollywood movie stars and mafia mobsters mix it up at the famed Agua Caliente Race Club resort and casino. Sore Heads - empty pockets – Dave Davis and his inside circle win a fortune on Phar Lap to the wrath of the mob’s race fixers, and quickly leave Mexico for the safety of the Menlo Park ranch, California Back at the Menlo Park ranch, it is horse heaven, gangster heaven. But then .. everything went wrong ... “Did Ed Perry recruit Bill Nielsen into the death plan? Horse vet Jay Hansen recalls his family’s time living at the Menlo Park ranch in 1932 when Phar Lap died.

It's a massive episode today as we finally tackle the latest, and perhaps greatest Zelda game of them all...Breath of the Wild.  All hands are on deck as T Scott Ross, Christian Missonak, Matt Young, Gavin Donnellan, Jeremy Kanne, Bill Nielsen, and John Loos join me in this discussion. We look at the merits and flaws of Nintendo's latest Zelda game.  We chat characters, favorite shrines, best moments, favorite monsters, best music....SO much to unpack!  Did the game live up to expectations? Is there anything that needs to be fixed? And where does Nintendo go next? We chat all this and more on the spectacular episode. Music Selections from Breath of the Wild, composed by Koji Kondo, owned by Nintendo and is included under fair use protection.

NOP Host Chris Bashen recently relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles...but before leaving, he recorded a series of nerdy topics with some of his best guests and friends...... Bill Nielsen (of So Many Bits) joins me on the mic to chat about Capcom's visual novel adventure...Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I've never played this series, so its a chance for me to learn about dramatic Japanese laws, investigations, and prosecutions all carried out by defense attorney Phoenix Wright. Bill guides me on our discussion, as we talk about which game in the series is the best, where newcomers should start, and if the games are worth more than one play though. By the end of it, I certainly have...no objections. Give us a listen! Music Selections from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney OST composed by Masakazu Sugimori, owned by Capcom and is included under fair use protection.

Bill Nielsen (host of the So Many Bits podcast) may wind up taking home the prize for Best Childhood Catchphrase. It's honest to God adorable and I would never spoil it here, you'll just have to exercise some patience and hear it for yourself! Bill joined us to watch and analyze "Dateless in San Francisco", in which Danny frets over a Valentine's Day date with Claire (who we never actually seen onscreen, in a clear display of cutting production costs); Aunt Becky frets over the dimming ember that is her love life; Stephanie tries to woo a straight up WEIRD looking dude; and Michelle, having seen all of this heteronormative bullshit on clear display, uses it to justify her obsession with Teddy. It's some of the most White People Bullshit we've ever seen from this show, and that's certainly saying something. Also: Could the Fonz win in a thumb war with Uncle J? And why is Joey still allowing himself to be the subject of unwanted sexual advances? Does he like it? Does he need it? Are we blaming the victim here? Who knows! All we know is that this podcast. Is. Fabulous. XOXO
