Immigrants to any country learn to adapt. So it was the case for food writer and cookbook author Khushbu Shah's family who came to the States from India. Hoping to recreate dishes from home, but not finding the ingredients they needed, Shah's family like other members of the Indian diaspora, used the ingredients on hand — Bisquick for khoya an ingredient in the dessert Galub Jamun, peanut butter in chutneys, or Cream of Wheat to take the place Upma, a polenta-like dish. What emerged was a distinctly Indian-American cuisine, which is the focus of Shah's cookbook, “Amrikan.” We talk to Shah about her favorite recipes and her tips for turning pantry staples into Indian comfort meals. Guests: Khushbu Shah, author, "Amrikan"; food writer and journalist; She was most recently the restaurant editor at Food and Wine magazine.

When her mother passed along a cookbook made and assembled by her grandmother, Erica Abrams Locklear thought she knew what to expect. But rather than finding a homemade cookbook full of apple stack cake, leather britches, pickled watermelon, or other “traditional” mountain recipes, Locklear discovered recipes for devil's food cake with coconut icing, grape catsup, and fig pickles. Some recipes even relied on food products like Bisquick, Swans Down flour, and Calumet baking powder. Where, Locklear wondered, did her Appalachian food script come from? And what implicit judgments had she made about her grandmother based on the foods she imagined she would have been interested in cooking? Appalachia on the Table: Representing Mountain Food and People (U Georgia Press, 2023) argues, in part, that since the conception of Appalachia as a distinctly different region from the rest of the South and the United States, the foods associated with the region and its people have often been used to socially categorize and stigmatize mountain people. Rather than investigate the actual foods consumed in Appalachia, Locklear instead focuses on the representations of foods consumed, implied moral judgments about those foods, and how those judgments shape reader perceptions of those depicted. The question at the core of Locklear's analysis asks, How did the dominant culinary narrative of the region come into existence and what consequences has that narrative had for people in the mountains?

GEORGE: Welcome back to a free for all Friday. And I could not be more honored to have the yang to my yang. One of my dear friends, the guy who understands that relationships need algorithms and helps you automate everything in the middle so that you can spend more time doing what you're supposed to be doing. But I'm going to tell you something right now. I've never met a man and this man I love deeply. We'll get to it him in a minute that literally has more software and tool recommendations in his toolbox than anybody. I know he has a chronological list in his brain of probably 500 ways to solve every quote, unquote challenge that we run into as entrepreneurs. And what I love about it is, Ari who we're going to talk to in a minute, doesn't come at it from a tool can solve your problem. He comes at it from, we have to understand what you need and where you're getting, and then let's pick the tools for the job to help you do more of what you need to do to be in relationships with the things that matter. And so you can do more with less and then go take a woodworking class like he's doing tonight.  Did I get it?ARI: Yeah, that's right. Best intro I've ever heard. Thank you GEORGE: So good to have you, man. I'm stoked to have you. It is. It is see when we're friends and we spend numerous amount of conversations and times, even though I avoid being on your favorite platform in the world, which we'll get to in LA, you know what I'll say? This, I would make a comeback. If we talked every day, I would literally, instead of iOS I'll come back. I'll publicly make it right now. I'll come back just so we can talk more because  I know like iOS audio messages probably make your skin cringe and  they make mine too. So before we get into the show, I have the one question that I ask everybody that sets a really kind of good context. And you can answer this however you want. So you've been in business for a long time from real estate to  having an entrepreneurial brain your whole time to being an EMT and some of the other crazy things that you do to running a team and doing intensives and doing all of it. But when you look back at that career, when you look back at, from the beginning of Ari as an entrepreneur, what is the biggest mistake that you've ever made in business? And what is the lesson that you learned that you bring forward with you every day? ARI:   Wow. Ah, that's a great one.  I don't know if we call it the biggest mistake necessarily. I'll tell you this.  I severely strongly vehemently wished that I had started therapy a lot younger that would have been a big one. And  there was, I went to the best business school in the world for  undergrad. I went to Wharton,  the best in  the world.  And I didn't get particularly good grades. I had a really interesting, good experience there. I had really great relationships with some of my professors, but the point, the point of that is that  there's so much advice. I feel like that you get about business,  through so many different people and that's  I guess I'm technically. I'm a millennial, right? But I'm like a cennial. I was born in 1982. So  the, the big thing that they said about Daniels is wake, we grew up analog and then  shifted it to digital.So I've really seen a lot of that transformation. So have you obviously, of how social media really makes that even more and more. It was just worse. I think there's so much more bad advice out there than there is good. Also a lot of the really great advice, like classically really great advice. I feel like it's not relevant anymore. And people still refer to that. So you're the, all that to say, like  you're constantly bombarded with all this very bad information,  and some people are better at discerning the good from the bad. My biggest problem, I can say and we'll probably get into this at some point, is that it took me a  very long time in my life. And I'm still doing it to develop a true, like core sense of self. Yeah. Now to know that what was right. I always went with my gut and all sorts of things. Unfortunately it led me to the right path most of the times, but I never really had this sort of guiding internal compass, which I honestly, I feel like therapy would really help.GEORGE:  Yeah, that's this is why I love that question.  I think, you  one of the things you and I talk about a lot offline and  we've had deep conversations and we've been around 50 entrepreneurs is we're helping them. And like we're having, they're all like give me tools and we're like, we're trying, it's not the tool,  or you put me in front of a Roman, hand me a bottle of a wine and you start asking me questions and I start.going off the top here, but with that a few things that you said that I think are so important.  Number one  is really like discernment and understanding,  when you should let something in and when you should even have the space to let it in. And then number two is  not going at this alone. Like I think,  for me, you and I talk a lot about this and we both do.  we both, you  pursue therapy outside of it. We both pursue coaching and guidance and mentorship. And I think there's this thing with entrepreneurship and I hate the label.I like how Mike McCollough woods goes about it calling a shareholder, but  you have to do it alone. Everybody does it themselves and you have to figure it out on your own. And I,  I feel like I was blessed to meet people like you  and have some mentors that I have, but I've burnt my fair share of like bridges and I've trusted my gut that I've somehow ended up here positively, but I feel like it could have been here,  five years sooner.If I don't know, maybe I listened to my wife,  who is always right or something along those lines.  but, but with that when you talk about this, you and I talk about,  protecting our containers, we're both actually moving right now. We're like, get us out of the hustle and bustle. We want to do less with more. How do you go about now looking at all the things that surround us, the bad advice, the distractions on social media,  all the bombardment of messages all day, right? Like I got Slack going off, Facebook messenger going off, insert. I don't. I don't have those things anymore. My team does. But when you look at that, like how do you go about discerning that now in the place that you are, and then how would you do it differently if you went back.ARI:  Yeah, sure. So  that's a, that's a,  there's a lot to unpack there. GEORGE:  Totally. And I'll remember all of it I'll guide ARI: So first of all, one of the biggest things that I teach in my replaceable founder program is all about communication. And that sounds very  like nebulous, but the truth  is that like, I feel like 80% of the problems that we see in businesses are around communication. And it's not, when I say communication, it's not  you know, Not people not being active listeners or that it's really  there's methods and means of communicating. And then also the way that we actually convey messages. So the three things are one is that people generally, in my experience, don't convey.What success looks like when they're delegating and they don't cause they realistic expectations when they're managing opera or however you  want to say it. And there's a myriad reasons why that happens, but that does happen. So  that's one of the big things.  and then the way that we communicate.So fortunately COVID. Unfortunately has I think changed this quite a bit, but as  as I talk about all the time, asynchronous communication is like  the, the nuclear weapon in my arsenal.  that is the most powerful thing that I have at my disposal. Voxer happens to be the tool that allows that to happen really efficiently, but asynchronous communication as an idea is huge.And unfortunately, again, we've had this sort of culture, so many people feel like you have to be synchronous to do certain things. Now, this is a great example. What we're doing right now, we're synchronous makes sense, because we can really vibe off each other, but synchronous doesn't make sense. When you have a financial advisor who has to fly to London, just to sit at a table, to shake hands with the client.And we've seen so much of that now, again, less of that, fortunately, because of COVID, but it's still something that's just so ingrained in us. And then. The third element there in communication is, and this is where it really gets troubling. I find with all the information, all the social media, everything.Most people are not very good decision makers.  and when I say not good decision makers, I don't mean that they're making the right decision. I mean that they're not effective in the decisions that they might,  so many people suffer from paralysis or analysis paralysis, right? And the other side of things is the people who are like the fly by the seat of their pants,  go with your gut.There's a balance in between there. I would say that a lot of people really struggle to find. So when we're presented with all this information, And all of these different things coming at us from email, Slack, text messaging, and all the social media and all that kind of stuff. Most people,  most, most people.And I would say  99% of people, whether it's conscious or not, they approach those tools as if they were almost  a victim of them, right? It's just a necessary evil to live in the world. We have to experience these things. We have to put up with it and take our beating basically. But what people have to understand is no matter what level of life you're at or business, these are your tools to communicate with you or world and the way that you see fit and having that somewhat subtle shift of understanding that can have  really powerful implications.So email is a really good example of this. Email is a unique experience that most people. So when I speak around, when I used to speak around the world, I'd always like to ask,  what's your biggest productivity challenge? And the number one question, the number one answer that always came up was email.That was the number of work that a challenge and the email problem is not an email problem. It's a decision-making problem. And if you think about it, your inbox, and you can use your inbox to represent,  Slack, Facebook, whatever you want. Is it very unique opportunity in your day to make thousands of decisions.I really have that in any other place. And most research tells us that the average person is good for about 24 decisions in a day. So what if you didn't have email?  and I there's very few topics. I didn't mean really riled up.  productivity wise email is one of them. And the biggest one is when you see people post on Facebook, they're like, Oh, I really want to have a VA that can manage my inbox. Anybody have recommendations? And it's  are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. First of all, it's totally, that's so demeaning to another person,  like that's that's, to me, the visual of that is somebody who is sitting in their kitchen with their feet off, like doing their nails, eating,  pumping chocolate and they send someone out to get their mail from the bow, the postbox and bring it in and it's  you look through it and they're like, Oh,  there's a gift certificate. Or there's a coupon to bed bath and beyond. Yeah. That's totally worth five minutes of your brain to do that for me, because I can't manage my own shit. Yeah.  So the idea there is if they're manageable well, and there's all ways of doing that. And I have one there's other people that tell you how to manage email or don't have email,  rather than say, Oh,  my assistant's going to deal with or whatever. Same. I don't have email. If you want to get in touch with me, you can call me, or you can email my assistant directly, because what also ends up happening is you have people who have their assistants managing their inboxes without necessarily telling people. And then it's just this broken barrier of trust that can't be recouped. So to me, that it's like to have somebody else manage your email is such a lazy cop out kind of a thing. Yeah, because you want me to just have the balls to say I'm not going to have email. GEORGE:  I think, I think  that's such a hot button, right? Because you, you said a few things, number one,  don't be a victim of your tools. What we forget is it's our house and I've used this analogy before. I'm like, you would never let somebody walk in your front door, sit down at your dinner table and insult you and let them stay in there.  And I was like, so don't do it online. Like these are your house, your rules, your container, your just using a tool to get there, but it's yours.And I think  that's really a  hot thing to understand. And what you said that  really a few things. Number one,  The communication part. I feel like for me personally, every time I struggled with email was number one, it was ineffective communication, right? Like I was sending messages to send messages or it was like always open loops, back and forth, nothing clear, getting there,  replace, it was basically a tool to be lazy.Cause I didn't want to pick up the phone or I didn't want to just take two minutes to come up with a solution. So I was like, Oh, it's in my inbox. Let me just fire off a quick response. And then when they respond again, I will handle it, put it back in their court, right? Like we're volleying back and forth of  yes, let's  play tennis.  and then three was this belief that  we had to have email. Like we had to have email. And what's really interesting is  you know, this tool, but I use superhuman for my inbox.  That's I love it. It's amazing. But I basically spent a couple of days cleaning everything up and doing it. I get less than three important emails a day, less than three,  literally less than three now. And so when I look at my inbox, now I open it and on my primary tab, it's  my wife's  Hey, I need you to remember to reschedule this. And then  one of my last friends was like, Hey man, I forgot to send this to you. And then there's like one like billing thing and everything else isn't there.And so I think  that one is probably one of the biggest ones. Cause it's the same thing that I see. And it's funny to what happens in front and behind. Behind the scenes of companies. What I see people struggle is like, how do I write emails to my customers? Like they struggle with it on that side, but then they're also a slave to their inbox and think they need emails on the other side. And so I think  that's one of the best ways. So then everyone's gonna be like, all right, Ari, fine. I don't want my fucking inbox anymore. What do I do? ARI:   Okay. Well,  and you pointed out something really good there.  You're getting, you're getting very females and I am too.  honestly the majority of the emails I get are from school. I have four kids, four kids in two different schools for different classes. There's  two newsletters every week. And then one with photos, that's like the majority.  so if you had a. Boat that was leaking water into the boat.  And you have a bucket and you're trying to catch the water in the bucket at that point. Is it like, Oh  no. I just need more buckets.  you know, more email folders. That's what I needed  that'll fall  apart. Oh  no. You know what it is. I need to your bucket. I know it's heavier, but I need it. The inbox is just a container, as you said,.  You need to fix the problem is upstream, right? So  you, you have to first of all, separate great communication, two different methods. So  this is a big one where a lot of people and a lot of people take a very different stance from a lot of other productivity kind of people.I actually think that you should have more communication tools rather than less, but they need to have specific purposes and you need to be intentional about what they're for. So if you're going to use Slack, that's fine, but don't use Slack for project management. Don't do what a lot of people do, which is have these slip, these shared Slack channels with clients, right?So that you're talking to your team and your clients in the same place, bad idea. Yes. And email should never, ever be used for internal communication. Cause it's really just not designed for that. So you should never ever look at an email in my opinion and open your inbox and be like, there might be a message from someone on my team that shouldn't be a thing.So if we reduce the number of emails or the number of,  if we reduce the dependence on email to begin with, by using other tools, for other kinds of things, we're going to reduce the number of emails to begin with. And then it becomes much more appropriate for our brains because the typical inbox is like super important email kind of important email. total junk, super important email, junk spouse,  and that kind of rapid switching back and forth just does not work for the human brain, which is why most people end up just saying  Oh, I'm out.  like  I can't manage this anymore. Yeah.  GEORGE:  and then you ended up with 26,000 unread emails that I've seen. And it gives me anxiety. Sowhat you said, I want to unpack this one a little bit, cause this one was really good.  you got to go upstream and fix it.  And so for me, when we think about email, so just, if everybody didn't catch it, I stole this from Ari. I say this in every single consulting trip that I do,  email is for external only. And Slack is for internal or another messaging app. But I want everybody to understand that they're just messaging, like you said, they're not project management. They're not, here's my to-do list. There's not go pick me up coffee on the side of the street.  there's, you  you have to understand what you use the tools for, right? If you're like, Oh, I'm going to drive my kids to school. You're not going to get on your bicycle with your basket in a snowstorm going to get in your car and you're going to drive them. ARI:   Great. That's a great image. So they're there. Basically what I always say is that there are four tools that a minimum four tools that every company should have. And by the way, you mentioned, Lindsay emailing you, in an inbox. So I got her out of Oxford, which has been amazing, and she's the only person on my Voxer that is on the walkie-talkie setting. So when she sends me a message, it just starts talking like an old Nextel.  so there's four tools at minimum.One is for casual conversation. Second one is for procedural information. Third one is for bridging internal and external. And fourth one is for things that need to get done. So we'll break that down for a second. So the first one's casual for me, that's Voxer, right? So you need to have a tool in your company. This is for in the company where you can talk freely,  and what that looks like for some people, maybe that's WhatsApp, maybe that's Slack for some people. It  depends on the culture and who the people are. If they like texting or voice or whatever.  there's also like Marco polo, which is like Voxer with video. They needed a tool for casual conversation, something that is unstructured, where people can. Emote a little bit maybe, and also feel like they have a space where they can come converse about things. It's  like the digital water cooler, if you will. The second one is for procedural information and that's usually going to be Slack again, it doesn't have to be, but usually it is.And procedural information for me is the stuff that people just got to know.  So like, You'd post a Slack message being like, Hey everybody, our next workshop is going to be on December 14th.  who's going to be there? Whatever or,  you this is,  what does everyone want for lunch? Like very, really transactional information for lack of a better word. The third one is something that bridges the internal versus external. Because if we're going to tell you, if I'm telling you that email should not be used internally.The natural question that most people have then is what happens. If I get an email from a client that I need to show to a team member. Which we see all the time, some clients pissed off, they forward an email. You forward that to the boss, right? GEORGE:  It's  you're just ducking getting punched in the face by letting somebody else ARI:  Exactly. And also,  I've seen far too many companies where it's common practice for an assistant or a direct report to CC the boss on it. Free email. Yes. And so  for that, I like things like Intercom or Front or Frift, like a lot of those common sort of shared team inbox tools. Now that's, it's still,  it's email in that case, but you're not creating email to converse about it internally. And the fourth tool is a place where things get done. So this is technically a project management tool. And for me, that's always going to be Trello, but it could be anything. But the reason  that's part of the communication sort of SOP is that when you're discussing something in any of those other tools, as soon as it becomes something that needs to get done or a project or an action or something like that, it needs to leave the communication setting and go into that project management setting. And that's where you converse about it further, because what we don't want to see ever. It's a Slack channel where somebody is like, here's the new flyer for our event?  what do you guys think? And somebody was like, Oh, I don't like the font. And this person's  well, I don't like that color. And then fourth, person's  Hey, what are we getting for lunch? Yeah.  it just, that's not where it belongs project, man projects need to be managed and project management setting. So it's part of the conduit of the communication tools and just those four things alone. Massively reduces your dependence on email. GEORGE:  I love it. And so that pulled,  that closed the loop for me, but my Zeigarnik effect is going nuts on this one. So the upstream one that I was going with, and I just want to plug this,  the part of,  not using email and you say going upstream, I think one of the defaults is as email's the new business card, right?  I'll give you my business card. I'll give you my email, send me an email, send me an email, send me an email is something that I see a whole lot of, even like when you and I are traveling or we go keynote and it's like, You don't right. But  I used to just give out my email, give out my email, give out my email. Cause I was like, Oh, it'll prevent me from getting in some of these details, but there's a thousand different ways to do that a lot more effectively. And now I still get emails from people like four years ago that I don't remember.I don't remember why we meet. And so I think,  when we go upstream there, I think taking the time for me. And I'm going to say this very publicly taking the time to realize  is this a relationship that's going to serve me and serve them?  Does it even get to the email or  should it be somewhere else? Like now my default is  Hey, just add me on Facebook.  we'll get connected at some point,  like just add me on Facebook. But I think really understanding that Your inbox is your home. And it's  everybody doesn't get to come get a room in your house. Like you have to protect it. You have to protect it before it becomes a, how do I get everybody back out, but going all the way up, we're going to be really careful. Like when we think about like our business cards, like we think about our websites, like everybody throws their email out, like it's out there and I'm like,  if you're going to do that, you might as well just do your phone number. You're like, Oh, I don't wanna do my phone. And I'm like,  don't do your  email either.  And so I think, yeah. I don't. I dunno,  what are your thoughts on that? ARI:  So  for a very long time, I mean, I guess I would still do it, but I don't have the team now for it.  So we've had oaolessdoing.com since for a year now.Which is,  optimize, automate, outsource that's my system. So you have, I have like  info app or help app, but these sort of general inboxes, it's very obvious when the name that is not a person specifically.  So oaolessdoing.com would always go into Intercom, which,  at the peak of it, I had a seven person team and every one of them was an Entercom. So I could answer that. So I gave out that email freely all the time, whenever I spoke or anything, I never give out my personal email. And it wasn't even because  If I'm protecting. It necessarily.I agree with what you're saying, but it was more  that's not where that communication happens for me. So it's like, here's,  everybody email me oaolessdoing.com sending your questions. Somebody comes to me, we'll get back to you. Maybe I'll get back to it,  personally,  but that's,  that's the best way to reach us at this point.  So that's one and again, I don't know why people have such a hard time with being like.No,  you know, you can email dan@goldmansachs.com, but you can email  dansassistant@goldmansachs.com and she'll let me know or he'll let me know whatever it is that I need, if that's how you want to GEORGE:  It's almost like we've just accepted that.  business dealings and,   communicating with people and networking has to go that way. And it doesn't always have to go that way. And I think  that is such a powerful way to think about it. And so I'm gonna ask you how you get people to hold you in a second. Cause we don't wait until the end of the episode, but. One of the things that I started doing. And for those of you understanding Ari and I are like really dear friends on similar pass, but we don't talk as much. So I'm updating him as we speak on the podcast. One of the things that,  I used to do and I used to do really  is I would give a keynote. And at the end of the keynote, I would come and I would answer questions. I'd have them sent me a personal email. And  I closed multiple seven figures of deals that way, because it was  it was such a different thing. And then I started thinking about it and I was like, is there a better way to do it? And then I realized that if I just have a vanity URL that goes to an intake form and they give you the same information that they were going to send me via email, I get an email with the summary, but then I choose like how to reach out. I can hit them up on my calendar link. I can decide if it's a good fit. And so I think for me, one of the things that I always think about is. How can I always move something one more level upstream to prevent it from getting downstream?  Can I get a phone number? And so  for me, when like somebody gives me their phone number, they're like, can I have your number? I'm like, yeah, I literally stand there with them. And I record a video in front of them sending them a video with their face in it. So I have it at the beginning of the text message. If I ever forget what was there or what context was, I'm like, Hey, let's do it right now. And I'm like, Hey. I'm going to send you a video right into the camera and you're in it.Why do we meet, how are we here? Let's go. And I was like, see this. And I was like, Oh, and here's your thumbnail? And I like pose for a selfie, but then I'll have it.  I'll get a  random text,  six months later and I'll just scroll right to the beginning. I'm like, Oh, that's who it was.  And I'm still figuring out ways, but I think. I think what you said, and this is to close it all the way back.  don't be a victim of your tools, right?  just because they are that way right now, it doesn't mean they always have to be that way. And I think there's two ways to go about it. One is  what you have is what you have, but you have to figure out now, how do you optimize automate and outsource that and build that the best. But then  the next question I always ask people is how do you go one step up to prevent that from happening again? And how do you go one step up to prevent that from happening again? And so I just think it's a really good topic. I dunno that's just any other thoughts on that one? Cause I love your brain when it comes to this stuff. ARI:   Yeah, absolutely.  so there are a few things.  One is that, people when they're in it,  and they're overwhelmed. So overwhelm is like a very specific yeah.  And for a long time, I  have been known as the overwhelm ologist. The extreme state of overwhelm that we see that I see,is when people get to a situation where they feel like no matter what they do, they're going to disappoint someone. And that could be that they're going to disappoint their clients, their team, their family, their friends themselves. But no matter what you do, it's  there's, someone's going to get screwed over. And that's our really dark place to be.  and we see it all the time and  the sort of natural. Human response to that is to just keep digging, right? Like we can just keep going in those situations and hopefully it will get better, maybe not, but eventually you just get into this state where you're overwhelmed. And the biggest thing with the overwhelm is that you just can't see the forest for the trees.  actually I always like to say, you can't read the label from inside the jar.  I love it. It's a greatest restaurant.  and so. If  if you're in that state,  you're just, you're just treading water.  So like you're,  you're doing the prescriptive, the boring, the,  the minutiae, and you're just dealing with ever sort sorta comes your way and  hoping that  it'll maybe get better to do the upstream thing, honestly, like it does take an effort,  and it does take you like sidestepping and,  who, uh, what's his name that does the masters of scales.Reid Hoffman who  founded LinkedIn. He says some of the,  people always talk about putting out fires. He's right. He said, but the best entrepreneurs sometimes let fires burn, and you have to be willing to do that. If you're going to make a change. Sometime now that's not the case for everybody. Some people it's a little bit easier to  side stuff with that and make that shift. But for other people, You're going to have a big dip in income, right? You might have a hit to your reputation.  but ultimately you're gonna end up having more control over what you do and control is the antidote to overwhelm.GEORGE:  Yeah.  I was, uh, it was driving me nuts, my brain, the, it was,  I couldn't remember the name of it because it literally just read an article that sunk cost fallacy was what I was thinking about. The,  And there's a, I'm like, obviously, actually, since I've seen you, I read a lot. Now you should be proud of me. I read  60 books a  year now,  just so everybody knows. When I met Ari, I was like, what are books? Why do you need books? I don't read books. And he read my notes. I actually read art's book, but  I didn't read books,  one of the things I've understood, and this is an undertow of everything that you've said, which is why I think it's so important.Like we. In the beginning of this, like it's us, we're the ones driving the car. We're the ones who are like, Oh, we're going to let somebody down. We're the ones that are letting our tools become like  our master and us, the slave of them, like it's us and it's us and it's us. And there's that level of awareness that we have to get to, which what we talked about is like surrounding yourself with people, good people that see you and don't have it. and the sunken cost. One is a big one. And Jonah Berger talks about this a lot because when you are in something. And the thought or the path out seems so overwhelming. It's outside of your zone of acceptance. Any evidence that even would be supportive actually makes you more reactive and dig in even deeper because it just feels so much harder.And so  you push and you push and you push. And so what I love that you said, and I'm going to go all the way back to your asynchronous communication. Is that the biggest benefit of asynchronous communications that it's not right now, it's when you choose for it to be. And I think that's one of the biggest gifts of entrepreneurs is like always giving ourselves the space and the time. And I say this to my students all the time. It's like you would be hard pressed to find me one thing that happens in your business that's actually life or death. It's not going to happen in the next 30 seconds. Like you're not going to go out of business in the next one minute. The IRS is not coming to seize your accounts. 37 seconds from now. Like the FBI is not at your front door, even though it feels like that. It's not happening. And what I love about what you teach and what you do with asynchronous communication. And then I'm going to close this all the way back to the beginning. Is that what it tends to do? If we're intentional, that allows us to practice creating an identity of self.It allows us to create that space of okay, I don't have to respond to that Vox right now. I don't have to get into my inbox right now. I don't have to get those Facebook messages right now. My phone's not ringing right now. And it is that pause button to  let things settle. And I think one of the biggest gifts in what you do is like you have to get to a point where everything you do is intentional. And it's not intentional for being reactive to it. And so I think it's  really, really, really important. And I don't think it's talked about a lot. I've learned probably 90% of my efficiency on like backend business management from you.  it's hilarious. Like I have a channel on my Slack called water cooler because of you.I was like, screw it. We're just going to call it the watercolor and our mastermind. It's our combulsion here.  What do you want to talk about? How was your day? And then we have these things, but it  really is interesting over the years of knowing you and I.  It's been a while. I don't even know at this point,  these little things that have come in that have made it like  really easy, but really what you've helped me buy back is space. And with that space, the work of becoming self, and then being the person who's driving the race car. Because in business, what scares me for most people, I'm gonna get emotional, but we're both past this point now. But what scares me for most is I'd spent most of my life in my career thinking that I was in the driver's seat, but my fears and insecurities were in the driver's seat.And I was just strapped in holding on in the passenger seat. And communication and inefficiencies were what was destroying me.  Because I was like, Oh, the world is ending. What are we going to do? Things are down sales. They're like, you can't read it from the inside of the jar.  I had to pull it up.ARI:  Also. How else were you going to feel important?  GEORGE:  you would have cried about this together. I was like, all right, nobody loves me because I didn't win the game. And he's  bro, you doubled their company. I was like, but it wasn't triple. Yeah.  like legitimately. And so  I'm, I'm summarizing this and we are nowhere near done, but I'm summarizing this because I want everybody to understand that like at the end of the day, it's us,  we talk about like space for our worth.We talk about the ability for us to make decisions. Like we're the ones, we're the entrepreneurs,  we're the people, we're the decision makers. And we have to have the space to do that. And we have to have tools in place that allow us to use them. But. How serendipitous that, right before this, I recorded a podcast that came out before this called tools and a tool doesn't build a house, the person who picks up the tool builds the house and you can't use two hammers at one time. It effectively.  But you also have to realize the grass isn't always greener on the other side. And so like, when we think about everything you've said already, like you have to be able to understand what the outcome is. You have to be able to set expectations. And then you have to be able to make decisions. But I think the one secret that I think the power of automations creates a space. And I think it's the last gift of entrepreneurs is space. ARI: It's a really sort, really pointed way of putting it.  I agree,  it's. I know we're gonna get into this, but the relationship versus algorithms idea, like so many people, when I talk about automation,  you see it all the time, but people always assume that automation,  so I'll start talking about some really cool automation or something.  Somebody in the audience will be like, yeah, but I don't want to lose that human touch. It's  well, I agree, this is making it so that I can have the human touch more and that I can answer my own messages and that I can respond to Facebook comments if I want to or not. If I don't,  and so there's just so many false beliefs about how these things work and what they can and can't do and then we build this like wall around ourselves too. That makes it unique.  And so. Yeah,  replaceable.  not to use my vernacular here, but the,  there's a pretty much, one thing that I took away not took away, but that I remember from college and that's not because I was drinking. It's just because I wasn't paying attention.I had a professor. They never be a replaceable because if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. Yep. And a lot of people,  maybe entrepreneurs don't think about them being self, being promoted, but moving onto a new company, getting the car that you've always wanted. If that's important to you or having moving, having a new baby, right? Those are all promotions for an entrepreneur. And if you make yourself you're replaceable, it's  very difficult, not impossible to do those things. So we create all these false attitudes around us that are then reinforced by everything that we see online.  and it's, it's sad. And a lot of it really is. And I think it gets in the way of a lot of  really good ideas too. So as much as I love it, when people are like, self-proclaimed like disruptors,  or their innovation is their biggest strength. And they're just doing the exact same thing that everybody's been doing for 20 years. And I'm not  saying that  I'm some trailblazer either. That's not the point here, but  it's so easy to just fall into these, Groos fall into these roles and then tell ourselves  that's the way it's supposed to be. GEORGE:  I'm gonna, I'm gonna put myself  on a platter here, just cause I think it's an important talking point that you can talk to one of, one of the things that you just said, that's been a thread for me,  and I've been doing this. I think about 11 years now.  So not my first rodeo. It feels like yesterday, but  as I do it, one of the reasons that I was afraid of automating is because with automations, I actually had to measure. And if I had to, and if I had to measure, I couldn't hide in busy work anymore, which means I actually would have been successful because I would have had to look at what I was doing. Figure out where my time was being spent, what of, what I was doing was actually moving the needle and won't just wasting a shit ton of time. And then I hid in this wall, like I hit in this place and I had the story,  I was like, nobody can beat me. I'm me.  And then at the end of the day,  like now hindsight being 2020, I come back down to like clockwork from Mike MichalowiczSo there's no plan B for your A game by Bowie Son.  And I start picking it out and all of us are, or all of us do have a gift. We all have something that  we lean towards. There's a proclivity for us in that comfort zone, but we have to be able to measure and be replaceable. In order for it to happen, whether you're replacing yourself to buy more time, to only work two hours a day or one hour a day, or just not to have an inbox anymore, or to,  not do communication.And like for everybody listening, like for me this year,  this year was a gift for me. I launched a podcast that I waited nine years for. And now we're on hundred, I think you're episode one Oh three, one Oh four. I don't know. Like where did that come from? But then  the biggest thing  is like I'm bored a lot because I don't have access to my website. I don't have access to one password anymore. I don't know how to get into any of my stuff. I feel really vulnerable. At times. And then at the same time, and I was like, good. Now go do something different.  You're not  there. And  now this is what's hilarious to me. Like the ultimate goal was realized faster than possible because I did one thing I never thought I would do.I think you'll appreciate this, going back to that conversation of  but I'm not important. I'm important. I don't want to let somebody down. So it was like a month ago and I was like busy Lindsay had just, we were dealing with some personal stuff and so I wasn't working a lot. And I looked at my Facebook and I do a lot of communication on Facebook messenger. I love it. It's where I build relationships. That's where I nurtured your Voxer.  Except I don't have to listen to people ramble for 12 minutes and then try to disseminate through what that was. And so I looked at it and I fell behind and I was on top of it, but I had  180 unread messages. 180 of them. And I was like, Oh man. And I was like, and I kept putting it off and putting it on,  I'm going to do, I'm going to do it and do it. And then I had like probably 400 Facebook notifications and I was like, I got to know what they said. I got to know what they comment and I'll never forget this. I made a conscious decision to come in one day and I sat down at my computer and I marked all is red.And I cleared every notification and I was like, I get to be human. I don't have to be a robot. I don't have to be perfect. I just get to be human that day. Everything in our company, like two months ago to where now I don't have logins to Instagram. I don't have logins on social. I don't check it. I don't do messages.I don't have any project management stuff. I sit down on my computer and I have one Slack message every morning that says, Hey, this is what needs recorded by when, where it's going. Here's your schedule. Have a good day. And then it normally ends with when you're done don't message us, go work out, go spend time with your family, go do something. And it all came from that day. Like literally I look back at that day and it was like this. It felt like this ego, death and defining moment of  wait, but I'm the guy who responds to everything. And then after I did it, my team's  well, we responded the other day.  I don't know what you're worried about. you just have this FOMO, like you're going to miss a comment or something like that. But then it was in that moment that I realized that  there was a sea of notifications from  four days ago, five days ago that everybody already forgot about 37 seconds later.  there's no way of getting them all, but  it was a big deal for me. It was a  really, really big deal for me to be like, fuck, here we go. And now though, I'm bored. Just quite frankly, I'm just bored. I'm bored because  I know it moves the needle and I have to do it. And then I have to go find a hobby, like would lathing tonight that you're going to, or walking or meditating more.ARI:  First of all, There's a, there's something to be said for port them. you have kids,  like, right.  Yeah. Boredom is a great thing. I think boredom is where a lot of really good ideas come from. . So you pointed out something  really interesting and really important for people to,  focus on for a second. Entrepreneurship, I feel like so often it's about freedom.  a lot of people become entrepreneurs because they want freedomand in a lot of cases, it's freedom from something right freedom from the job, freedom from debt, freedom from the grind, whatever you want to call it. And that is what's known as the negative Liberty, right? So freedom from something. But ultimately what we really want, I think as entrepreneurs and as people is to have the freedom to do something right. Which would be a positive freedom to move towards something. And ultimately what the freedom that I hopefully provide people in our program is the freedom to leave the business right. And not leave forever unless they want to. But leave so that they can go out and explore and learn and then bring those learnings back and contribute back into the company. And while they were gone, the company continues to grow in their absence.  That's what we should all want. And that's clearly what  you've achieved.Now at this point, the. The message from the person, basically telling  you know, you gotta do this, you gotta do this. Gotta do is have a good day, go work on your family. That's  that's almost like you have this. There's a voice inside all these entrepreneurs that are like, don't tell me what to do. No,  I don't want my freedom. It doesn't work that way as human beings,  I always say this  it's great to be thinking outside the box, but there still needs to be a box.  We don't do well with unlimited resources. Innovation doesn't happen there.  it's actually one of the reasons why,  I will not work with venture backed companies. I think that I think it makes them lazy and complacent. You can,  I know anyone here and that's going to get pissed off, but it's true.  bootstrapping is where it's at. Innovation comes from that and this example that I always give, but I think it's just the best one is nobody ever said to MacGyver, Hey Angus, there's a home Depot across the street, grab a shopping cart, whatever you need and go across the street and blow up that building. It was always like, here's a paperclip and a box of Bisquick. Now go blow up the building.  that's where innovation comes  from restrictions, not from this idea of freedom that everyone has, where you just  do whatever you want whenever you want, because you get bored.  In a lot of times, a lot of times, as you well know, Whether you're an entrepreneur who has a past with various different issues, which we know a lot of them do. And one of us do boredom is a very dangerous place for those people oftentimes. We need a box. It's okay to step outside of it. We need to have the box. We need to know where we need to know where we stand. And so it's the same idea in like yoga appropriate reception.  You need to know, you need to have a sense of where your body is in space, because if you don't, you freak the fuck out.GEORGE:   I said this on a podcast couple months ago, somebody said this to me on a podcast the other day. But as entrepreneurs, as humans  in my experience, I spent most of my career trying to avoid being in a relationship with the one person I'm guaranteed to spend the rest of I live with, which was me. And then I would create this space and then I would fill it. And then it would be this like never ending cycle. And I it's something I still see to this day, we have really tight containers and  my team has carte blanche permission to tell me to F off. And they are very clear that I work for them. And not the other way around.  there is no, no divisiveness of power here. Like I am not the boss. I am  I'm I literally see myself as an employee. And I was like telling me what to do. Yeah. Tell me what to do. Like I, all of you helped me do this, tell me when to open my mouth, stick a quarter in it and tell me to go and for how long and then double it, because I'm going to go no matter what.And it's  really powerful, but what I've had to  really spend time with isn't who am I? It's who do I want to be? In that space, and this is going to get really like non-duality esoteric, like quantum mechanics, quantum physics, but it  really what that box, as you said, it's given me, is given me the space to figure out myself worth. And there's only two options. It's either distract myself with,  dopamine or working out or eating or busy work or lean into it with boredom. I E space and really reflect on  who do I want to be like this trap of  as an entrepreneur, Jamie smart covers this in a book called the little book of clarity. It's toxic thinking,  I'll be with my family when, and I'll spend time doing that when, and I'll start doing this when, and I'm like, but when never happens, that's the trap.  Like life has happened. Like we are dying  moment to moment. It's  if you ask your three-year-old, mine's four now and 15, and it's like, Hey, do you guys want me to play with you in three years or now? And they're like now,  and that's, that's the only, now that we get it and you have four kids, I almost introduce you as the guy who had a,  a group, a sports team living in his house.  but I couldn't think of a sport with four, but I was like, Oh, but with you guys, you have a basketball team. And I think it's  really powerful. Just to even have these conversations, like just to raise the awareness of  what are we doing and why are we doing it?  you talk about worth in the beginning, talk about being replaceable, which is an absolute gift.  And by the way, the other side of that is also supporting your employees and your team to leave. Like helping them. That's so good that they leave or so good that they promote like  that's the other side of this, but you have to be in that same bucket to be able to do it. And yeah. I think the dangerous part of me, and I've seen this too, by the way, with not all venture backed companies, but I've had very  similar experiences in my consulting career.One of the things that I've run into already, and I think you might be able to speak to it and maybe just summarize because you've covered it. But I think a summary is here is that I've gone in and helped people with efficiencies and  freed up a million dollars a month in capital or freed up like 17 employees of time. But then. Within 30 days, it's all full again with what we did and then everything just starts to break. And so it's one of those things that like, that's the double-edged sword of like automation is  you have to have that measure. And I say to people like people misinterpret me, but I'm like, success is boring. It's supposed to be.  like success doesn't come from getting fucking dopamine hits every day. And  as Jeff Spencer  says to us,  like Olympians are Olympians because they train at 70% every day until it matters. They have temperance and I look at it and automations allow us to do it.To close everything you said in the beginning, like this level of intentionality,  what are we doing?  why are we doing what's the measure? How can we handle this?  there's no accidents in any of this, how do we be replaceable? And then in that space, how do we figure out who we want to be? Maybe pick up a fucking hobby, do something. But I think  that's the part that scares me because I remember like I would automate,  everything and then I would create more space and create more space  and we're good, but I think it's something that comes up for people because there's this fear of like, how do I automate this? And then I have to measure it. And if I measure it, then it's there and what's not there. That's what it is. It's like a dose of reality. It's like taking the red pill. So I don't know. What do you think?ARI: And I feel like it's actually more so the case than when you actually, when you hire a team,  some people maybe before it would have been like, Oh, I've got five people working for me. Like now this is real, but now I feel like actually it's when you set up the systems and processes,  that's when  it becomes  real, like in some ways, because not that I'm,  I'm not a fan of like infusionsoft by any means, but you have to invest a  significant amount of money in,  a cool life that obviously time and money and energy and effort and just dollars. I feel like that's one of those things where it's  wow, we've made it,  we needed to use Infusionsoft and Salesforce, something like that.  so a lot of those tools I think do well and also. Just logistically, right? Like you don't, you can get away with,  you know, doing your own QuickBooks for 40 bucks a month when you're small, but when you get bigger, you need to hire an accountant, you need to use a system or you have to have methods. Yes. You have to keep track of things.  So yeah, a lot of those things make it more real and it's a  very good point that you're making about,  you know, then if a measures thing is right and not actually know whether or not you're successful. You touched on something that. Then I want to address,  the two things that actually, you mentioned everything, but I want to address.So the first one is that I'd like to point out to people, right? That a lot, none of what I'm saying, and none of what I'm hearing George saying either, is that  there's a, there's a good or a bad to this necessarily. It's really just about knowing what's right for you. Yeah. So  I did a consulting job. Actually, I think it was my last big consulting job where I did a full day. And then I told the guy didn't want to come back and give him back $75,000 because I said, I didn't want to travel anymore. But it was a really interesting company doing $20 million a year and really successful. And the founder, the CEO was a really big personality and he loved it and he lived it and he was very, honestly, it was very real everything that he did on social media. that's what he was like in person. And. His wife, they was having some struggles with his wife who was also running a very successful company. And he was creating issues with their marriage, not surprisingly. And it gave me the whole sort of story. And I looked at him and I was like, she's just not a wartime CEO, which is fine. but don't try to make her, you are, she's not, and these are different kinds of situations,  so, and that was really clarifying for them. And so they, you have to didn't know that about yourself, first of all, the way that you lead and who you are as a leader.  And not just shouting off something that you read in a,  um, How to be rich or whatever kind of book.So that's one thing. The other thing I wanted to just point out too, is that anybody,  this is your audience, obviously, George. So  they I'm sure they know you better, but some people might listen to this and think  it's really easy for George and I to talk about this,  and being bored and picking up a hobby and stuff because we're successful. So we have a couple of things to say about that one. Yes. I'm very successful. And I have been very successful on different times. I've also been 23 and in $3 million of debt, but that's not my story about how I clawed my way back from that. The thing to keep in mind here is that again about knowing yourself, if you really want to make sacrifices,  then move someplace where the cost of living is cheaper, right? Like it's not a sacrifice to kill yourself by working 20 hours a day that's not sacrificing yourself. That's just being stupid.  whereas the,  I live, I live in Brooklyn with my four kids, we have an apartment that's very nice. We also have a house in the country that's very nice.  But we're going to be moving out of this city for a number of different reasons. And it just so happens that the place that we're moving the cost of living is like a quarter of what it is here.  Give up the scene and you don't need to have a really nice car. Now, maybe at some point you do. Although I have a whole other issue with that too. But if you do want to like sacrifice for your vision and your cheat, your then move somewhere cheaper, like  that's the  sacrifice.  So it doesn't require. Like I have, again, I have a family of six. We don't need millions of dollars. We don't need many hundreds of thousands of dollars, honestly to live the lifestyle that we live. I drive a five-year-old used pickup truck and at least minivan,  because that's what I like driving and what's practical for us.  Soagain, if you're listening to this and be like,  Jordan already, already successful, so it's really easy to say this. It's not, it just doesn't fit.GEORGE: And I feel like it's actually more so the case than when you actually, when you hire a team,  some people maybe before it would have been like, Oh, I've got five people working for me. Like now this is real, but now I feel like actually it's when you set up the systems and processes,  that's when  it becomes  real, like in some ways, because not that I'm,  I'm not a fan of like infusionsoft by any means, but you have to invest a  significant amount of money in,  a cool life that obviously time and money and energy and effort and just dollars.

It's not, it just doesn't fit.GEORGE: and, and, and, sorry, one more thought on that and I'm going to be the first one to say it. I was the one to run around, be like, I'm doing this for my family. I'm doing this for my family. I'm doing this for my family, but yet my family didn't want it. And then my business partner, Craig from high-speed daddy, who I love dearly, we own high-speed daddy together. We both looked at each other and he had the same conversation and we had  a come to Jesus talk and it's  no, we're doing this for our insecurity and egos. So we can tell all of our friends that we're running a multi-million dollar company and we're working so hard. And then I was like, and then that's where I leaned into design thinking.  And you know, about design thinking. I was like, what might it look like if it was easy?  what might it look like if there were no labels? What might it look like if I didn't post on social media that much? What might it look like if I had a really hard stop? And when I started asking myself those questions, there was a period. I didn't like the answers because it meant I had to be present. It meant I had to be intimate with my kids, with my wife, with myself, with you, with my friends, which meant I had to be vulnerable and authentic, which meant I had to feel. And which meant that I couldn't derive all my worth from the results I created in the business and that transition's taken some time and it's been a gift, an absolute gift. And like we talked about this in the beginning, like entrepreneurs, like I do, I have nine coaches. Nine, if you say to healing, I have EMDR, I have plant medicine.I have hypnotherapists. And like I'm pursuing, I'm using that time to pursue a relationship with myself. And I think it's just a really important topic. And  something we talked about when you say like sacrifice, because it's been easy to in the,  one of the biggest ones, Arias, I don't know what anybody else is fucking doing anymore. I don't follow anybody. I don't subscribe to him as podcasts.  sounds like someone asks me, they're like, who's your competition? I'm like, I actually don't know. I really don't. I  really don't and  it's been a gift, but I think it's a really powerful thing for people to hear. And  just for me to say,  I was scared this year, like I was legitimately scared.And then I think it was, my wife just looked at me and she's  yeah. Okay. Like the other 64 times you've been in this situation and somehow you've always made it. So when are you going to start proving that it has to be so hard and when you're going to make it easy. And I was like, I'm going to go for a walk for a week. I love you. I'll be back. And I really had to reflect on it. And at the end of the day, what I realized that if I just go back to what made me successful 12 years ago or 11 years ago, And I focus on that and I keep it simple and I show up and add value. And then I build a relationship with people and then I help those people achieve their results. And then they pay me money. And all we do is that without the Instagram followers that are all the crazy paid media, without all the, like the glitz and the glam that we're going to get there a lot faster than we would have tried to do it the other way.  So I just think it's important because you're doing the same thing.ARI:  Yeah. I bridge them pretty much started over  two weeks ago, basically. So yeah. So I had,  you know, as you mentioned, I'm in the EMT, right? So I've been a volunteer EMT for. A decade now, basically, but over the last, during the pandemic, I got  very active. So we went up to our house in the Hudson Valley when things got crazy. And we stayed there for the, until like very recently. And,  we're in this relatively small town and the head of our department.  so I joined up right away and because it was a small area,they're basically like three MTS for the whole town, including me. And,  we had pagers on us all the time. So I was on call 24 seven it wasn't a huge call volume, but I was on call 24, seven and two really big differences between working in the city,  as an EMT and working in the country. And it's transport time and population size. And what that means is that,  in the city you're transporting patients for three to fou

A quick rundown of marketing and changing mindsets about convenience and consumption from the 1950s to today. We’ve come to think of shelf stable food as a good value because it doesn’t expire for ages and is cheap. But so much of our attitudes toward what we buy, especially food, are shaped by marketing, and often not for the better when it comes to health. We have arrived at an obesity epidemic for clear reasons that we can chart over the past fifty years. Post World War 2 economic prosperity encouraged conspicuous consumption and we haven't stopped since. How can we learn from this? What else are you consuming that is cheap, tastes good, but offers little real value? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, we celebrate our 1 year anniversary as a podcast by welcoming our first guest ever back for another go. Kara (@thebostonista) talks about Britney Spears, frozen pancakes and much more. Chid explains prime tweet times and talks shit about Christopher Nolan. Then they break down the different censored versions of WAP, chid laughs so hard he drops his coin purse. Later, Kara explains why she loves frozen pancakes, and things go really off the rails. Eventually, a grim conversation about frozen pancakes dovetails into a grim conversation about the first time Chid went to Disney World as a child. Then we talk about shame, Bella Thorne, and other dumb stuff. And eventually, Sigh reveals a censored word for vagina which is truly horrific and that leads us into a Jerry Falwell Jr. digression.

Betty and Bob is a radio soap opera. The soap opera followed the lives of Betty and Bob Drake. Betty was a secretary who falls madly in love with her boss, bachelor Bob Drake. The two wed and each day, the subject matter dealt with everything from love to hate, jealousy to divorce, murder to betrayal, and collusion to insanity. The program was the first radio program produced by future daytime radio monarchs Frank and Anne Hummert. The program also began a long partnership between the Hummerts and scriptwriter Robert Hardy Andrews. The program originally starred Elizabeth Reller and Don Ameche in the title roles of Betty and Bob Drake. The role of Bob Drake is credited as the role that made Ameche the "first radio sex symbol". But during the program's eight-year run, four other actresses, including Arlene Francis, portrayed Betty and seven other actors, including Les Tremayne, portrayed Bob.[6][7] According to author John Dunning, ratings for the soap opera plummeted after the addition of the Drake's son Little Bobby. "Raymond William Stedman speculates that listeners refused to accept bickering and jealousy when a child was involved." Little Bobby died of pneumonia and the Drakes divorced. But ratings never did pick up again. The last few years of the program centered on how Betty and Bob grieve over the loss of their son, Bob's relationship with his new girlfriend Pamela Talmadge (portrayed by Ethel Kuhn), and Bob's time in and out of a mental institution. The program premiered on the Blue Network on October 10, 1932. The program moved to CBS then to NBC's Red Network where the series finished on March 15, 1940. The program was sponsored by both the Wheaties and Bisquick divisions of the General Mills company.

So, I never do this. I don't usually go on other peoples podcasts, but when my new podcast advisor tells me to do something I do it. So he connected me to Sean and Cass from the Very Ape Podcast, two psychonauts who are also on the Mind Pod network I am in, I scheduled a meeting with them the very next day.  Full warning, this podcast, was a huge departure for me in many ways, mostly, because I have never done a joint interview in this way, but predominantly because I talked about many, many personal things that I usually keep in a tiny pandoras box inside my tummy. The next morning I experienced a "vulnerability hangover" so intense that I just wanted to crawl into a ball and expire.  So...I have nothing but intense love for these two. Sean and Cass are documentary film makers (all of their films are available for free HERE where they tackle such topics as Oxycotin, addiction, fandom, Americana, Jugaloo's  thrupples (a working relationship involving three loving equally loving partners) Trump, cam girls, all the good stuff. So I arrived to their gorgeous Greenpoint apt super late on a Monday night after 12 hours of incredibly confusing work, and a brain that literally had been reduced to Bisquick batter and we sat in their living room surrounded by candles and talked for literally hours. I didn't know anything about them and to say that our worlds line up and our values are in complete balance is a wicked understatement. More to come from our new friendship thrupple. Maybe, just maybe, they can teach me how to not ruin scissoring.

A disillusioned accountant quits his job and enters the coffee industry, where he builds a thriving direct-to-consumer business selling high-test coffee beans -- that’s the short take on Mike Brown, the founder and CEO of Death Wish Coffee. But there’s a longer tale to be told, and in this week’s episode we sat down with Brown, who launched Death Wish in 2012, to talk about his unconventional brand, which is promoted as “The World’s Strongest Coffee.” In our conversation, Brown discussed the company’s origins and early struggles, the evolution of its e-commerce strategy and approach to community-building, and the amazing story of how Death Wish scored a free Super Bowl ad. To pair with the coffee, we also have a serving of pancakes. While Aunt Jemima and Bisquick may be the two best known brands in what’s traditionally been a sleepy category, retailers aren’t sleeping on Birch Benders, which launched in 2011 and markets traditional and functional pancake mixes, including its best-selling Paleo variety. The fastest-growing brand in the category across all channels, Birch Benders products are now available nationwide in more than 8,000 retailers, including Target, Whole Foods, Safeway, Sprouts. We spoke with founders Matt LaCasse and Lizzi Ackerman about how they identified and assessed the market opportunity for a premium pancake mix, why gut instinct is a key component of the brand’s innovation strategy and how they overcame a global egg shortage that nearly derailed a critical retail partnership. Show notes: 1:24: NYC, VC, NBS: On location at BevNET Live Summer 2018, the hosts remarked on a pervasive sense of enthusiasm at the event, discussed John Craven’s interview with Vita Coco co-founder and CEO Mike Kirban, and shared their thoughts on a few of the participants from New Beverage Showdown 15. 8:50: Interview: Mike Brown, Founder/CEO, Death Wish Coffee -- In our interview, recorded in the Taste Radion studio at BevNET HQ, Brown spoke about what makes the company’s e-commerce strategy so effective and explained why customer acquisition is “all about a relationship.” He also explained how a feature on “Good Morning America” almost ruined the brand, the company’s all-in approach to winning a free Super Bowl ad, and why he believes that “brands will have to be the media companies of the future.” 39:22: Interview: Matt LaCasse and Lizzi Ackerman, Co-Founders, Birch Benders -- Recorded at NOSH Live Summer 2018, LaCasse and Ackerman explained how they identified an opportunity to innovate in the pancake mix category and how they achieved traction with the brand. They also discussed the role of data in business planning and new product development and why “at the end the day, you have to trust your gut about things.” Ackerman also explained why it’s important for entrepreneurs to “get a little over your head sometimes.” 59:36: Tribute: Anthony Bourdain -- Ray and Mike shared their thoughts on the recent passing of Bourdain, a cultural and culinary icon whose influence was felt across the food and beverage world.

Welcome to our final podcast before the end of 2017. Please note that Mystic Access closes for the holidays at the end of day Wednesday, December 20, and we reopen again on Wednesday, January 3, 2018. Orders for hardware and SD cards will be shipped out to you as quickly as possible during this period, but please know that, like you, we're celebrating our midwinter holidays, too. Thanks for your understanding. It's been a pleasure to serve you this year. In today's episode, Kim is celebrating a very special occasion... listen to find out more. Chris begins by discussing his experience installing Windows 10 on a blank solid state drive with Narrator and Cortana. Then he demonstrates his [amazon text=Cook's Essentials air fryer,&asin=b073bpx152]which he uses all the time, and finds beautifully accessible. Next, Kim and Lisa put on their aprons to share some yummy, and easy holiday recipes with you. Kim's Mom's Sausage Balls My mom, Barbara, has been making this recipe for as long as I can remember, and I began helping in the preparations ever since I was big enough to reach a flat surface. :) One pound hot sausage three cups Bisquick pancake and baking mix two cups sharp cheddar cheese Let all ingredients reach room temperature, then combine sausage and cheese... mix well. Add Bisquick, combine and mix well. Roll into small (walnut sized) balls and bake at 380 degrees for 15-20 minutes. May be baked and frozen. Lisa's Grandmother's Cheese Log 2 pk Cream cheese -- softened 8 oz  Natural shredded cheddar 1 TB  Chopped red bell pepper 1 TB Finely chopped green onion 2 tsp Worchestershire sauce 1 tsp Lemon juice Mix all ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a mixer, and chill. Roll into two or three logs, then add in finely chopped pecans or walnuts. Wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Microwave Chocolate Fudge 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 12-oz bag of semisweet chocolate chips (can also use milk chocolate) 1 tsp vanilla extract Combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for one minute, then let sit for one minute. Mix well. To get all your chocolate melted and well-combined, heat again on 30-second intervals, mixing after each one until everything is creamy and well-combined. Add in vanilla extract, mix again. Pour into shallow pan and refrigerate until the fudge sets up... this takes a couple of hours. Remove and cut into small squares. Enjoy. Mystic Access wishes you and yours a wonderful, safe and happy holiday season.

Time to chew up some asphalt and listen to the latest installment of our podcast devoted entirely to the AMC show, The Walking Dead. Hotter than a couple of flapjacks on the griddle, this episode held a lot of fun twists and turns. One important lesson was learned: When you're pouring the Bisquick, make sure you want to make some pancakes. Speaking of pancakes, Daryl gets some sustenance from Denise so those two are bonding. At least Daryl won't have to eat roadkill with Denise around it seems. Carol has competition in the cooking department! Then of course, we meet the Hilltop community that Jesus is a part of -- and get to see Maggie flex her negotiating muscle. Head to the hills for some sorghum and listen to this podcast now.

We all just watched Episode 10 of Season 6 of The Walking Dead — and probably have more questions than answers about what lies in store for everyone. Sure, Deanna's sudden re-appearance may not have been totally unexpected -- and yet it was quite enjoyable to have her pop in again for a visit. Also, who knew that sorghum was such an important grain? Listen in for all the latest!

There’s a new twist on forced arbitration that goes far beyond the workplace.  It literally affects everybody – because it’s aimed at people who buy food.  General Mills, maker of Cheerios and Chex, Bisquick and Betty Crocker, has added language to its website telling consumers that they give up their right to sue the company if they interact with it in any way.  Never mind if the cake mix contains ground glass or there’s a few mouse droppings in the cracker box.  According to corporate reasoning, you signed away your rights merely by buying the product.  Other companies are sure to follow.
