Podcasts about boyers

On this week's podcast, Bob talks with Laurel Munson Boyers who spent 31 years as a park ranger in Yosemite National Park. She has written "Across Yosemite's Wilderness- A Trailblazing Woman's Career Protecting the Park's Backcountry" about her years patrolling and protecting the park's wilderness and backcountry. They talk about her childhood at Yosemite, then working her way up to being a wilderness ranger. Boyers compares the average backcountry hiker today and during the early years of her career and also how unusual it was for her to stay in one park for her entire career. They wrap up the conversation with a brief discussion about the current political climate in the country, including the massive budget and manpower cuts that have affected the National Park Service. The conversation is lively and informative, as is the book, which you can order here: https://tinyurl.com/mry8xuvz Please consider becoming a patron of this podcast!

Robert Boyers founded the quarterly Salmagundi in 1965 and has been its editor in chief ever since. He's the author of 12 books, including most recently Maestros Monsters: Days & Nights with Sontag and Steiner and before that The Tyranny of Virtue: Identity, The Academy and the Hunt for Political Heresies. Besides teaching at Skidmore College, he directs the New York State Summer Writers Institute. Salmagundi rightly prides itself on hosting wide-ranging, inquisitive discussions of major topics involving race, gender, literature, psychology and so much more. This discussion goes in depth on four entries from the magazine. First up: “Talking Race Matters: A Conversation with John McWhorter & Thomas Chatterton Williams” explores the limits of racial essentialism as well as total assimilation that risks denying what is unique about the Black perspective and experience. A second piece is Elizabeth Benedict's essay, “What's the Matter with Sex?” It tackles how far the influence of pornography has gone (astray) as a training ground that leads young men into often degrading behavior to the women they are intimate with, including the use of choking as a form of eroticism. “The Failure of Censorship” by Adam Phillips looks at how our desires endanger us and yet at the same time to deny them denies aspects of ourselves. When is and isn't self-censorship fruitful? Finally, Salmagundi hosted a symposium called “Can the American Meritocracy Get Religion?” Five writers are responding to an editorial by Ross Douthat in the New York Times. All found Doughat's views too narrow or incoherent to be persuasive. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc.

Today on the podcast I am joined by Amber Boyers who is the Founder and Creative Director of Baiia, an Australian sustainable swimwear brand and home to the world's first 3-piece sculpting Wrapsuit & 4-piece Bikini.  I have known Amber for a long time and it was a dream to have her on the podcast to dig deep into the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and what it means to innovate in a ‘saturated industry'.   When I say this episode is JAM PACKED with everything you want out of a podcast, I mean it!  Inspirational, motivational, raw and honest, Amber takes us through the journey of starting Baiia, some of the challenges she faced early on and how she scaled it from just herself to a 12 person team at the time of recording.   We went deep on the many identity shifts that occur through the journey of entrepreneurship.  To doing everything on your own to becoming a leader of a team.  It isn't something we are born knowing how to do, we have to evolve.  There is also the re learning that hustling or working more isn't necessarily the answer when it comes to growing a business.  Despite what we have been told, sometimes the best thing we can do for our brand is find balance.   I also asked Amber to share how she came to create her innovative wrap suits and how important it is to push the edges in a highly competitive industry.  Amber mentions that where she is now isn't how she started and constantly catering to what was missing in the industry has lead her to push the edges and create something unique.   We finally spoke about how she navigated Covid and how she used it as an opportunity to grow rather than fall behind.  All the lessons she learnt in the past, helped her to make the most of the time and scale.   This episode is great for any business owner who is looking to grow and scale.  This is more than a conversation about swimwear, it's a personal development discussion and insights from a founder who has ridden the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship and come out the other side better for it.  I know you will love it.   If you would like to contact Amber and learn a little more about her beautiful pieces, you can connect with her on Instagram at httpshttps://www.instagram.com/amberbaiia/ or visit Baiia at https://www.instagram.com/baiia_label/ and visit the website at https://www.baiia.com.au/   Ways to reach me:   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/therealherproject/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXyaSvK0IIz1-egve7NSW3A?view_as=subscriber Website https://www.therealherproject.com/    For business enquiries please contact therealherproject@gmail.com   Music:   Thomas Gresen: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4OZCQ... https://twitter.com/ThomasGresenSound... https://soundcloud.com/thomasgresen https://www.instagram.com/thomasgresen https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... Music promoted by RFM: https://youtu.be/WE6S3q9NmjU

The Denver Nuggets are in the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. Drew reflects back on his time as the TV voice of the Nuggets. The network TV analysis of the Western Conference Finals was ridiculously biased towards the Lakers. Drew's special guest this week is Rockies relieiver Brent Suter, who is optimistic, altruistic, artistic and a hell of a pitcher. Thanks for checking out the show this week! Please tell a friend.

The Nuggets took a one games to none lead Tuesday night in Denver. Drew is reacting to the game and the national sports media's bias for the Lakers. The Rockies remain hot with the help of newcoming outfielder Brenton Doyle. Get to know this new Rockies star and see if you love him like we do. And thanks for checking out the show this week. How about tell a buddy of yours?

We're marvelously fortunate and extraordinarily grateful that so many listeners have sent us their personal stories of mysterious experiences over the years. While it's not possible to respond to all of them, we can and should present some for the entertainment and edification of all. So as thanks to those who've shared, and a treat for us that love to hear them, we're featuring three stories from a recent call for submissions. Our first account comes from Terra Greenleaf, who managed to capture audio of strange animal sounds while at a facility in a deeply wooded area. Those familiar with Bigfoot research might classify them as typical "calls." However, this encounter is incredibly eerie because there appears to be a large semi-circle of the creatures and they might be hunting prey. Our next anecdote comes from Dr. Dominic Boyer, whose family occupied a house in Chicago once lived in by eminent physicist Enrico Fermi, known as the "architect of the nuclear age."  Having died in the home, the Boyers believe his spirit haunted them while they lived there, as what they saw looked an awful lot like him, perhaps to Fermi's consternation. Our final interview is with Tom Delaney, who recalls several unnerving encounters with a mysterious force while hunting in the hills of central Pennsylvania. It seemed to stalk him and his hunting buddy, taunting with mimicry and snapping mid-sized tree trunks. Whatever this thing or things were, perhaps it was toying with them or delivering a stern warning.  We all know it takes no small amount of courage and confidence to publicly share a testimony that often leads to criticism and ridicule. We tend not to believe what we see on the internet because we're unsure of the source. On the other hand, we may doubt the narratives we hear from our family and friends. So in light of this losing proposition, we'd again like to thank our listeners for their bravery and generosity and let them know that they are not alone in their experiences. We all welcome them with open arms to our society of the strange. Visit our webpage on this episode for a lot more information.
