What's your most loved and least favorite song on Guided By Voices' 492nd album Bee Thousand?! Adam overcame his fear of assigning a 20 song record because he felt we needed to do more indie classics. Fun to hear his three co-hosts' take on a challenging 1994 lo-fi listen that was once named by Amazon music writers as the #1 indie album of all-time.

Full show transcript available at discoverdaytonpodcast.com.    Today's Friday, May 20th, 2022, and it's time for your weekly News Roundup episode, where I read the news so you don't have to. A lot happened this past week, including stories about an uptick in Covid cases, an EPA report about our local waterways, and new inductees into the Dayton Walk of Fame. There's also a lot happening in the future, so you won't want to miss this episode. Things going on today actually start about 30 minutes from this episode's release, so tune in and listen now!  Transcript:   Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton podcast, the show that's all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. I'm Arch Grieve and I'm your host, and today's episode is the weekly news roundup for Friday, May 20th, 2022. A lot happened recently, including stories about an uptick in Covid cases, an EPA report about our local waterways, and new inductees into the Dayton Walk of Fame. You won't want to miss it as there's a lot happening today, including in about 30 minutes from this episode's release, so tune in now!   To start off this week's news I'd like to say Happy National Bike to Work Day! If you're listening to this before 7:00-9:00am you still have time to make it to the Five River MetroParks Bike to Work Day celebration, which is happening this morning. The first 500 riders to register and check in at the event receive a gift, and you can pre-register now online at MetroParks.org. The event takes place from 7:00-9:00am at the RiverScape Metro Park on Monument Ave. and features a free pancake breakfast, live music, a bike expo, and more, so hopefully I'll see you there!   Well in a reminder that Covid-19 is still unfortunately with us, Coronavirus cases in Ohio have been going up steadily for the past 6 weeks in a row, with weekly cases being over 15,000, as reported about a week and a half ago. That's up a lot from where they were at the beginning of April, when the state averaged a little over 3,500 cases per week. According to the Ohio Department of Health, over 7 million Ohioans have gotten at least one shot, but only 3.56 million have received two shots and a booster.    If you remember a while back me talking about Dayton Public Schools possibly reopening the World of Wonder school to serve students who are learning English as a second language, well that plan is now official after school board members voted unanimously to do so this past Tuesday. The school will be open to students in grades K-6 who live in Residence Park, but also open up to 12th grade for English language learners. Superintendent Lolli explained that the school will have separate English-native and English-learner classes, but that those will be combined during lunch, recess, and possibly classes like art and extracurriculars.    Also in DPS news, if you're interested in mentoring a Dayton Public School student, DPS is starting the Transform Career Mentoring Program, which will match about 100 high school students with local mentors. Mentors will be matched with 10th and 11th graders to help them with decisions on things like colleges and careers and mentors and mentees are expected to connect for a minimum of five minutes per week.    The locally-organized TEDxDayton event will be taking place on October 14th, which is a ways out, but more pressingly they are now accepting applications for speakers. TED is a nonprofit dedicated to spreading ideas, and TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. So, if you're interested in being a TEDx speaker, you can apply at tedxdayton.com. Applying is no guarantee to speak, and I would know because I've applied and not made it in the past, but a volunteer-run committee will review your application if you apply and then may invite you to audition. If selected, they'll work with you to prepare to tell your story, so maybe give it a shot!   The Ohio EPA recently released a report about our local waterways that said that they're about as healthy as they were two years ago, although that's not necessarily a great thing. The report is required by the Clean Water Act to be released every two years, and in it they explained that in terms of local waterways, the stretch of the Great Miami from Tawawa Creek in Sidney to where Mad River joins it in Dayton is classified as “not impaired,” but that from Dayton to where it enters the Ohio River it is impaired by polychlorinated biphenyl, or PCB, a toxic industrial chemical that does not go away easily. The Mad River and Little Miami are also considered impaired by PCBs, although the Stillwater is not. In good news, one section of the Little Miami is being delisted because it meets a different set of cleanliness goals, so it's not all bad news at least completely.    A local Dayton couple is suing rapper Travis Scott after they allege that his Astroworld musical festival last fall resulted in the death of their unborn child, as well as 10 people who also died. The couple, Shanazia Williamson and Jarawd Owens, filed suit against Scott, the festival organizers, and the security companies that were hired, and are seeking over $1 million in damages. They explain in their suit that Williamson was trampled and crushed during the event, which resulted in her unborn child's death. So far, over 700 other concert-goers have filed suit as well, and Rolling Stone reports that nearly 5,000 people suffered some type of injury. Scott denies responsibility and has performed this month for the first time since the tragedy, which also resulted in the death of a UD student, Franco Patino, of Illinois. His family is also filing suit against the rapper.     There were protestors at the Ohio Statehouse on Saturday protesting against the likely adoption of abortion bans by the Ohio state legislature. Those protests were joined by others, including in Xenia and one here in Dayton at the Courthouse Square, where hundreds gathered to protest against abortion bans. In the wake of the leaked Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, many states such as Ohio are considering banning abortion, and in Ohio the bills that seek to do just that are Senate Bill 123 and House Bill 598. Ohio's version of the abortion ban, if it passes, which seems likely, will outlaw abortion except in cases where the mother's life is in danger or to prevent irreversible bodily impairment of the pregnant person, but no exceptions in the case of rape or incest.    Well it will be at least another year until marijuana is legalized in Ohio fully as state officials recently settled a case with the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, who had been pushing to have their signatures accepted on this year's ballot for voters to weigh in on. In exchange for delaying until 2023, the coalition will not have to re-collect signatures again for next year and the state will accept the over 140,000 signatures they've already collected.    The Carillon Historical Park here in Dayton has some new exhibits you might want to check out now. There is now a new industrial block of buildings on the grounds where you can see an expanded print shop, a new demonstration foundry, a soap shop, and a landscaped plaza where Carillon will hold programs for children. The Gem City Letterpress Company was the first hands-on experience the museum offered to visitors back in 1988, but it's now expanded and will be joined by the new Rubicon Foundry and Air City Soap Company. Paper printing was a big business in Dayton years ago, and Dayton History's Vice President, Alex Heckman, explained to the Dayton Daily News that due to Dayton's location next to the river, there were a lot of of paper mills here in the 1930s, in fact 25 out of Ohio's 36 paper mills were in Dayton, and because it was easier to do the printing next to where the paper mills were, there were 77 paper printing companies at one point as well. If you're interested in getting involved you can volunteer at Carillon as well, simply call volunteer coordinator Kay Locher at 937-293-2841 ext. 102. For more information about the museum, visit daytonhistory.org.    The Dayton Playhouse is bringing back its annual event, FutureFest, for the first time since the pandemic, the event where they produce six previously unproduced plays over the course of three days. FutureFest is a nationally-recognized all-volunteer event, and they received 378 play submissions this year. They have their six finalists who will be performing at the festival selected now, and at the festival those plays will be judged by professional adjudicators. One of the plays is particularly timely, and is called “Griswold,” which is about Estelle Griswold of the Supreme Court case Griswold v. Connecticut, which enabled unmarried couples the right to obtain birth control. You can learn more at wordpress.thedaytonplayhouse.com.    Salem Avenue in Dayton is now undergoing what will likely be over a year-long reconstruction process on the strip between Riverview and North Avenues. A reconstruction is not a simple repaving and actually involves much more work, hence the length of the project. Traffic will be down to a single lane during the construction process, so city leaders urge people to find alternate routes. The rebuilding is overdue, however, as some sections of the underlying base pavement are reported by the city to be over 100 years old. Once reopened, the road will have five lines, with two on each side and a center lane in between, as well as a two-way 10-foot wide cycle track. This is just phase 2 of the entire project, and the final phase 4 is not expected to be done until the end of 2025.    The Dayton Walk of Fame recently inducted some new members, including one of my favorite local bands, Guided by Voices. The walk began in 1996 and recognizes individuals with outstanding achievements in the arts, education, invention, community or military service, philanthropy, and more. The inductees this year as follows: Phyllis G. Bolds - a black woman who graduated from Dunbar High School in 1950 and went on to become internationally-known for her work in aircraft dynamics.  Neal Gittleman - artistic director and conductor of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra for almost thirty years.  Roger Glass - president and CEO of Marion's Piazza who is known for his philanthropy work, including helping to found Equitas Health.  A.B. Graham - who was considered the founding father of 4-H youth programming.  Sharon Rab - the founder and co-chair of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize.  Guided by Voices - known as the “forefathers of lo-fi rock,” who are headed by frontman Bob Pollard. They're still active of course and just this past March released Crystal Nuns Cathedral.  The inductees will be formally inducted and honored at a luncheon at Sinclair in October. Visit daytonregionwalkoffame.org for more information.    Well if you're into BBQ then you're gonna want to hear this next story, but a Dayton woman, Erica Roby, recently competed in World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest in Memphis, Tennessee, where she took fourth place in a competition that the USA Today calls the “most prestigious BBQ contest.” She came in fourth place for ribs out of 104 teams. Roby also competed in the Food Network's season 2 of BBQ Brawl, which she won. If you want to try her BBQ, she plans on cooking for the Yellow Springs Juneteenth Celebration this year as well as having some local popups in August. You can find her on Instagram at @bluesmokeblaire. Also in related news, I will be having an interview with AJ Bauer coming up soon, and he's the owner of Smokin BBQ in the Oregon District, so if you're a fan of BBQ don't miss that one!   Well apparently there's a thief in Dayton who is in possession of a key that can, quote, “unlock all Dayton-area mailboxes,” who has been stealing checks from people. So far the Montgomery County Sheriff's office has reported that at least 26 checks have been stolen from outdoor mailboxes since February. US Postal Service spokespeople say that there is an active investigation that is ongoing, and while they argue that mailing checks is still secure, the sheriff's office is telling people they should go inside the post office to mail checks for the time being.     And finally in our news stories for this week, I actually just got back from a week of birding in northern Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa, which I mention because while I was gone apparently the bird flu popped up in Dayton. The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus has been found in birds locally, which can infect chickens, duck, geese, pheasants, quail, and guinea fowl, and there is no cure. It can infect humans, so City Manager Shelley Dickstein warned recently in a commission meeting for people not to handle dead birds, so stay safe out there if you come across one.     And now for local events happening soon:   Well today, Sideshow, one of the Dayton Yellow Cab's annual shows, is coming back this month today and tomorrow after taking several years off due to Covid-19. This year performers will include Far From Eden, Tino, Nautical Theme, Snake Oil Revival, and more. Ticket information is available at yellowcabtavern.com.   If you're looking for something fun to do with friends tomorrow that has an opportunity to win prizes, then you're in luck, because there's a downtown Dayton scavenger hunt going on, which is being put on by the Downtown Dayton Partnership. The scavenger hunt takes place from 11:00am-5:00pm and starts in the Oregon District but will lead you all over downtown Dayton. Answers will be recorded on a clue sheet, although some hunt locations will require you to text photos of the things you find. The 1st place prize is $300 cash, so nothing to sneeze at. There is a $10 registration fee per team, although in return you receive $10 in Downtown Dollars, which you can use at any participating downtown business. All teams also get entered into a raffle prize drawing as well. There's no limit on the number of people per team. Visit downtowndayton.org to sign your team up and learn more.    Well if you're in town on Sunday, May 22nd, which happens to be my birthday, then you can go to the Branch and Bone brewery's Brunch with Chef Dane event, which is happening from 12:00pm noon until they run out. They'll be serving up dishes like donut breakfast sandwiches, country ham, polenta eggs, and more. Visit branchandboneales.com for more information.    Also on Sunday, Carillon Historical Park hosts its annual “party in the park” event, AKA Fleurs de Fete, from 1:00-4:00pm. The event features over 200 wine samplings and food from local eateries, in addition to live music. Pre-sale tickets are $70 and you must be 21 or older to purchase tickets.

Wiley Gallery is teaming up with Front Street for a workshop that allows people to paint a wooden tile that will placed on the Peace Pole at the Dayton International Peace Museum. Materials are provided and the event is free and open to everyone and goes from 2:00-4:00pm. The event takes place at the Dana L. Wiley gallery at 1001 E. Second St, and you can sign up on the Dayton Peace Musem's Facebook page at facebook.com/daytoninternationalpeacemuseum.    Also on Sunday there's an event being put on by the Dayton Woman's Club, which is the Founders' Hall of Fame High Tea event. This event is $25 and features a guest speaker, T. Douglas Toles of Toles Media, who will be talking about Dayton's Founding Mothers. It goes from 3:00-5:00pm on Sunday and you can learn more at daytonwomansclub.org.    Once again on Sunday, Dayton's Bach Society will be performing “Renewed,” a tribute to Paul Laurence Dunbar. This event features three world premiers of works set to Dunbar poems by composer Adolphus Hailstork and the winner's of the Bach Society's Young Composers Competition. Tickets are $25 and can be found at bachsocietyofdayton.org.    Standup comedian, actor, and TV show host, Donnell Rawlings, will perform at Wiley's later this month on May 27th and 28th. Tickets go for $45 and can be purchased online at wileyscomedy.com.    Next Sunday May 29th at Carillon is the Dayton Heritage Festival, which goes from 12:00-8:30pm.

The cost is $29 and it goes from 11;00am to 1:00pm. The event on May 31st will feature Jewish food, but the June 11th event will feature Turkish food.    All right well that's about it for this episode, although before I go I recently saw another podcast doing this and thought it was a great idea, so if there's someone or some organization that you'd like me to interview, I'd like to hear from you. Please call me at 513-400-3538 and leave me a voice message explaining who you would like me to contact, why you want me to have them on the show, and one question you'd like me to ask them.

( Lorne Behrman) Greg Hoy is many things. He’s a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, a recording producer, a recording engineer, something of a marketing guru, a jingle and sound composer and producer, a 'people engineer' in the tech world, an art director, and a label owner. But when you boil it all down — he’s really just a guy in a band. “Music is in everything I do. Helping companies hiring people is just like putting a band together. I’ve been fortunate that both sides of my brain work in tandem,” the California-based artist says with a good-natured laugh. With his 2020 tour cancelled due to... well, you know what, Greg managed to coax East Bay, California's Tiny Telephone studio owner John Vanderslice into letting he and his band social distance to make 'Cacophony' - an 11 song cycle now out on gold vinyl - written and recorded in just two weeks. The lyrically output was heavy: birth, death, pandemics, and fires. But that fast and furious creative drive is what propels him to create. When you do more, you do more. So, maybe, it’s the collective inertia of all his projects that propels Greg’s prolific output? Somehow, between wearing so many hats — including tirelessly touring the nation in a vintage Airstream on the Limited Mileage tour throughout 2019 — he made time to write and a record a refreshingly eclectic, 22-song double-vinyl self-tiled concept album released as the self-titled Greg Hoy & The Boys. His last 2019 release, Enjoy the View, was recorded mostly live by audio legend Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, PJ Harvey) in Chicago & mixed in Oregon by the equally amazing Sylvia Massy (Tool, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers). Clocking in at just under 20 minutes, the band pushed the limits as a meaty 3 piece. The result is an immediately hooky slab of caffeinated, propulsive, plug-in-and-play rock n roll. To date, the restless creative has issued over 30 albums under various monikers, including The Royal Panics, Greg Hoy (“no boys” for intimate releases), Greg Hoy & The Boys, and Twice As Bright. Mostly these days, he fires up Greg Hoy & The Boys, a loose collective of friends and trusted musicians that includes boys and girls. Greg’s vibrantly diverse output harkens back to the bedroom 4-track visionary aesthetic of 1990s indie-rock, as epitomized by Guided By Voices and its fearless leader Bob Pollard. When you distill it all down, Greg plays retro rock n’ roll meticulously crafted from the timeless essentials of infectious melodies paired with undeniable grooves. Yet, within this focused path, Greg issues diverse albums aligned in spirit with such singular artists as Jack White, Dave Grohl, Neil Young, Queens Of The Stone Age, Cake, The Jam, The Who, The Beatles... “All the ‘the something’ bands,” Greg playfully adds. Throughout his wildly fishtailing career, Greg has worked with Glenn Branca, J. Robbins, Steve Albini, and drummer Steve Sutherland, late of Grant Hart's Nova Mob, among others. Greg’s songs have been featured on network television shows such as One Tree Hill and MTV's Made. Select live highlights in Greg’s career include performances at Noise Pop, SXSW, CMJ, and on the main stage at Latitude Festival in the UK. When off stage or not recording as an artist, Greg runs the record label, 30 Peak, and does production / soundtrack work. In this latter context, his music and sound design has been featured in Pinterest brand videos, American Express commercials, and as game effects for the software platform Adobe. Outside of the world of sonics, Greg works as a “people engineer” in tech, and he’s known for having hired & built the first creative teams for Facebook, Pinterest, and Lyft. Greg’s story in music begins at the age of 5 with the big bang of hearing Led Zeppelin’s 'Whole Lotta Love' on headphones with his big brother. “I was immediately drawn to the richness of the sound, and the idea that you could manipulate emotions with sound—like a certain fuzzed out guitar and drum beat could make you feel a certain way,” Greg explains. Later on, while attending Westminster College in Western Pennsylvania, Greg became a whiz with a four-track cassette recorder, recording his own songs as a multi-instrumentalist, and honing his lo-fi production chops tracking local bands. During this time, Greg also furthered his creative reach through working other bands as a guitarist, keyboardist, and a drummer. His debut became a buzzed-about tape, and 30 albums and two decades later he’s still a DIY-spirited artist freely exploring his artistic whims. Greg’s double album might be his most ambitious and personally poignant. He formed his music tastes through listening sessions with his mother who had a subscription to the Columbia House monthly CD series. Together, the two soaked up the sounds of Huey Lewis and the News, INXS, Chicago, and Led Zeppelin. Those were epiphanic moments for Greg as a budding music fan, and they’re treasured times he spent with his mother. A few years ago, his mother was terminally ill and Greg was there by her bedside. He recalls: “As she was passing, I would get the CDs we would listen to together, and then go to the studio and play along on drums to our favorite songs. I realized the best thing I can do emotionally is to make a record to process it all.” Those drum tracks became the foundation for the songs on Greg’s album. The songs also inspired emotive moods, and first-time instrument choices — like the use of saxophone on 'Ready Rock Steady.' The album can be digested almost like four grouped-together EPs. Greg Hoy & The Boys explores a wide array of thematic threads. At times, the songs are the wry musings of a middle-aged guy stuck in the millennial-addled tech world. Some tunes point out the dichotomy of being at the forefront of technology while still loving the lo-fi world of real drums and tape recorders. “Others are about birth, death, drugs, and rock n’ roll,” adds Greg. Interspersed within these loose concepts, is the arc of Greg’s mother’s passing. Select album standouts include 'Brilliant Jerk,' '(Keep Feeling) Caffeination,' 'Participation Award,' and “Ready Rock Steady.” The dance-y indie rock of “Brilliant Jerk” froths over with acerbic lyrical wit and twitch-y art-funk that recalls LCD Soundsystem, Gang Of Four, and Fugazi. Lyrically, this is playfully barbed social commentary on the onslaught of brainy bastards in the tech world. The tune’s accompanying video is culled from stock footage as sort of a meta statement on how, when peeled back, what passes for “brilliance” in this world can be flimsy ideas puffed up by big egos.  The playfully titled '(Keep Feeling) Caffeination' — the title is a nod to the Human League’s synth-pop gem '(Keep Feeling) Fascination'—is a sizzling rockabilly boogie number rife with savory puns. The song, and its accompanying video, pulls no punches in addressing a seldomly-addressed toxic social epidemic. Read more at:https://thegreghoy.com/

Buying a company that’s struggling means taking the baggage that comes with it. Though it probably sounds unappealing to some, for Dan Hassett it wasn’t a discouragement. The company he bought—Levitate—only inspired and fueled his passion for the surf lifestyle. Today on the EO Podcast, Dan discusses the origins of the Levitate brand, and explains how it became a “passion business” beloved by the community of Marshfield, MA. Tune-in to learn how Dan took a business that was sinking in debt and transformed it into a thriving company that now hosts music festivals and surf camps. Dan also explains how he changed the business without deviating from Levitate’s original brand and vision. Time Stamped Show Notes: 01:07 – Dan runs a “passion business”, a surf shop in Marshfield, 30 minutes south of Boston 02:01 – What sets Dan apart from other surf shops is that he runs Levitate LLC as a hardcore business 03:40 – Starts his day early at 5 o’clock; early morning is the most productive time for Dan as his two children are sleeping 04:55 – Apart from dealing with the normal “nuts and bolts”, Dan spends a lot of time researching early in the morning 06:13 – Critical for any entrepreneur to understand who their customers are and what they want 07:22 – Apart from targeting surfers, Dan is also targeting the thousands of people who are enamored by the surfing lifestyle 08:11 – People who visit music festivals have the same mindset as someone who visits a surf shop; they are looking to be in a “happy space” 09:46 – Target customers range from young kids and teenagers to older folks; his brand resonates with anyone who is in pursuit of open-mindedness 10:23 – Dan says his aim is for anyone to walk into his surf shop and think, “This is the way things should be” 11:47 – The origins of Levitate 11:47 – Levitate was started by Bob Pollard, a surfer; met him in Marshfield in 2003 when Bob was working in a restaurant where Dan was a busboy 12:40 – Bob offered Dan a job at his surf shop 13:18 – Always had a passion for surfing since he was young; his father used to surf and his grandfather had a beach house in Humarock 14:27 – Dan hung out with Bob quite a bit when Bob used to take him surfing 15:20 – The first Levitate shop was a small shop, no larger than a fruit-stand 15:34 – Tragically Bob passed away at the age of 34 due to an aortic aneurysm; Levitate was 3 years old and was starting to gain traction 16:32 – Bob really cared about his customers; since everyone loved Bob, they loved his brand as well 17:32 – Before passing away, Bob had signed a lease to move to a bigger shop downtown 18:41 – Even though the store reopened, business-wise, it was not doing too well 19:37 – Levitate survived the downturn of 2008 due to the support of the people of Marshfield 20:48 – Received a call from Amelia, Bob’s wife, informing him that Levitate was up for sale; part of the deal was to take on the debt 22:24 – Barely 22, Dan had some great ideas which would help restructure the Levitate brand 23:19 – Dan ended up with the business because he was willing to take on the debt 24:36 – Dan had to run Levitate with zero expenses 25:53 – Dan is in the process of adding a café to all Levitate shops 27:01 – In the initial years, Dan thought that he would turn Levitate around and then close it up 28:01 – Entrepreneurship is not glamorous at all; could not make money in the initial years in spite of slogging day and night 30:05 – Realized that in order to survive Levitate, it could not be a “mom and pop” surf shop 31:13 – Always had a passion for his business and believed that Levitate was more than a retail store 31:32 – Treating Levitate like a retail model would result in failure since high volumes were not possible to achieve 32:11 – Surf camps are held for kids aged 7-14 and consist of lessons in surfing, paddle boarding, environmental lessons and dodge ball 33:12 – Camps have been popular since inception; all spots fill up in an hour 34:14 – Banking on the success of surf camps, Dan started to build up Levitate as a brand 35:13 – Held a 10 year success party, a music festival in 2013 in Fairgrounds 37:04 – Scoured all over the internet to look for information on how to organize a music festival 38:11 – Loves to research, but avoids going overboard because of “paralysis due to analysis” 39:03 – 1500 people showed up for the first event which was a huge success 40:21 – The last music festival was a two-day event attended by 24,000 people! 42:12 – While retail contributes 30% of its overall sales, it generates zero profits; music festivals account for 50-60% of its overall sales and they have a profit margin of a 40%! 43:40 – If you are an owner of a retail shop and are killing it, send out an email to Dave 44:48 – Dan’s wife is an artist and graphic designer who does all the posters for Levitate’s music festival 46:34 – Admits that working with his wife can be a grind sometimes; they end up talking about work at home as well 47:30 – Tries to ensure that his relationship is not strained due to work 48:09 – Having a baby has resulted in Jess cutting down on her work 49:51 – Going into the future, foresees a handful of stores with a signature event and a big ecommerce presence; wants to be a national brand and build up volume 51:31 – Dave introduces the new lightning round called “Boxers or Briefs” East coast or West Coast – East Volkswagen or Jeep – Jeep Skate or Surf – Surf Meat or Veggies – Veggies Nemo or AB – AB Ring Dings or Ho Hos – Ho Hos Hawaii or Fiji – Fiji 53:20 – Dave closes the episode and encourages you to visit his website 3 Key Points: Even a “passion business” should be a run like a hardcore business in order to survive and thrive. Taking on the initial debt of a company is NOT the end of the world, be wise and bring your own vision to the brand. Entrepreneurship is NOT a glamorous profession at all—you need to be willing to put in the work to succeed. Resources Mentioned: Entrepreneur's Organization – The EO Network Levitate – Dan’s company

This week we're joined by Morgan Taylor, formerly of the band Mink, to help us revisit our review of their album Get In Get Out from season one. We didn't know much about the band and their history, or of the Dayton, Ohio scene in the ‘80s or ‘90s, so Morgan walks us through this small but influential town. Morgan takes us back to his earliest bands, opening for an embryonic Guided By Voices. He walks through the half dozen bands he played with, including the short lived acoustic duo Glee & Beak, that opened for Bob Dylan, along with tracing the connected lineage of each Mink member, and how an opportunity to play in the opening band for a Lisa Loeb tour launched Mink. Morgan talks about becoming the “it” band in Dayton, hanging out at Bob Pollard's legendary Monument Club, getting a standing ovation from Kim Deal, and what led to the band breaking up. There so much to cover, including how Morgan utilized his decades as a musician and interest in illustration to create Gustafer Yellowgold, a multi-media performance of live music, colored-pencil animations and storytelling for children.

Slashing colds down to one day can give a LOT of empowerment in energy and productivity! As MOMpreneurs we don't have time to be sick - when does mommy ever have time anyway - but the duel role makes it that much harder. On Thursday, January 17th at 2pmET/11amPT Peggy Pollard, The Doctor's Wife, is sharing with me here on Word of Mom Radio. What does a doctor's wife know about geting well? For 27 years Peggy has been watching her husband, Emergency Room physician Dr. Bob Pollard help thousands of patients in his ER and Urgent Care clinics. Up to half of his patients are coming in just for common colds!  Watching all of this put Peggy on a new path! All of this"experience" prompted Peggy to write - Advice from the ER - Your Common Cold: How to Get Better Seven Times Faster!  The book is based on advice developedby her husband and his years treating thousands of patients in his Emergency Room and Urgent Care clinics in Northern California. Tune in and hear what "The Doctor's Wife" has to say! Today's show is sponsored by Safety First Bags and My Healthy Concepts - so visit our Word of Mom Radio website to find out more.

ommy Keene has been making his brand of melodic rock for almost 30 years now. His early independent releases garnered high praise from critics, and when he jumped to a major label, big things were expected. Through a series of industry blunders and bad luck, Keene’s rock star ship never came in. Despite the numerous setbacks, the excellent quality of his songs has never wavered. He’s just released his first-ever career spanning collection called Tommy Keene You Hear Me: A Retrospective 1983-2009. Icon Fetch talks to the influential songwriter about his many pitfalls, as well as how he assembled his new collection, and teamed up with Bob Pollard of Guided By Voices.

Will discusses the latest releases by Ra Ra Riot and Wintersleep and the monthly release by Bob Pollard.
