Blaine ends this season with veteran educator Brad Rogers, who shares what he has learned from his years of teaching, first in Alaska and for the last seventeen years at Stanfield Secondary School. Summing up the wisdom of all of this season's guests, Brad offers three key suggestions for educators at all stages of their careers: Maintain a healthy work-life balance. As a new educator, Brad spent long hours at school in addition to his normal teaching schedule, until he realized that no one can do it all in one day. The best advice he received was to make time for family and friends. Recognize that life as an educator is like a roller coaster with its ups and downs. We learn and grow from our mistakes. Realize the lasting impact that you as an educator have on your students. Establishing a relationship to help a student succeed in a single class can spread to that student's entire educational experience. It matters. Students remember and express gratitude sometimes years later. Brad draws on his years of experience to share insight on each of these areas. This is definitely an episode for all educators, regardless of how long they have been in the field.

Bell2Bell's latest podcast features Brad Rogers, CEO and Executive Chair of Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF). During the briefing, Rogers discussed the company's business model and brand strategy spanning multiple rapidly developing U.S. cannabis markets. “Red White & Bloom (“RWB”) started off as a beachhead in Michigan; it was a state that was not heavily penetrated whatsoever because of the fact that there were no public companies that were able to own a license in that state at the time,” Rogers said. “We came up with a very unique structure to be able to actually take advantage of the regs and enter that state as an investor into a privately-owned company, which we have since gained control over. That was our entry into the market, but what was unique about RWB and RWB brands is the fact that we took a brand strategy to this.”

Brewer and winemaker Phil Sexton is a legendary figure in the Australian drinks industry. He founded Matilda Bay Brewing Company, Australia's first craft brewery, in 1983.After Foster's acquired Matilda Bay, Phil went on to co-found arguably the country's most influential craft brewery, Little Creatures.He established Margaret River winery Devil's Lair in 1981, and in 1997 came his foray into cooler climate wines in the Yarra Valley, where he created the Innocent Bystander and Giant Steps brands.Phil has had a very eventful 18 months. In October 2019 he shocked the brewing world when he announced he would relaunch Matilda Bay from his base in Healesville, partnering with the brand's current owner, Carlton & United Breweries.And in August 2019, he announced the sale of Giant Steps to US company Jackson Family Wines.The deal follows his successful exits from Devil's Lair, sold to Southcorp – now known as Treasury Wine Estates – in 1996; Little Creatures, which floated on the stock exchange in 2005 before being wholly acquired by Lion; and Innocent Bystander, which he sold to Brown Brothers in 2016.In a long overdue interview on the Drinks Adventures podcast, Phil updates us on the goings on at the reborn Matilda Bay, as well as Giant Steps, post the sale.We touch on some of the earlier chapters in his career and get his thoughts on recent industry developments such as the sale of fellow Yarra winery Oakridge to Woolworths subsidiary Endeavour Group, plus the demise of his former employer in the US, the pioneering Portland brewery Bridgeport.And the conversation goes down a few other rabbit holes that I hope you enjoy exploring as much as I did.There's a few earlier episodes of Drinks Adventures that I recommend you listen to after today's episode, if you haven't already.In Season 1, we met Janice McDonald, who worked alongside Phil at Matilda Bay, Devil's Lair and Little Creatures, so that's essential listening for another perspective on those early years.And in Season 2, our documentary on Stone & Wood Brewing Company, whose co-founders Brad Rogers, Jamie Cook and Ross Jurisich were previously involved with Matilda Bay.First off in today's episode, I asked Phil how he came to the decision to sell Giant Steps, a company revered for its single vineyard expressions of pinot noir and chardonnay.
The legal industry has seen significant changes in recent years – changes that predate the pandemic and have intensified as a result. Legal professionals are thinking differently about the business of law, focusing on new models for driving efficiency and effectiveness. Even as compared to just two years ago, change is happening faster than ever, and on far more sophisticated levels for corporate legal departments and legal operations. While the pandemic certainly accelerated things, these changes were already in progress long before the pandemic hit. Brad Rogers, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Growth for Onit and a former legal operations leader in a Fortune 100 company, sits down with us to discuss the four items fueling changes, including technology, the rise of legal operations, the replacement cost revolution and business model innovation and how corporate legal departments can leverage them to enhance efficiency, save money and spare in-house counsel from time-consuming, low-value work.
When the financial services organization TIAA faced a high-stakes regulatory matter that could have major implications for the company’s reputation and brand, it needed to quickly get to the core of the matter. While it is unusual for a large enterprise to take on a new partner in a bet-the-company matter, TIAA took a chance, deciding to work with “new law” legal company Novus Law, which specializes in rapidly and efficiently finding the story in complex legal matters. In this episode of LawNext, we offer a case study. Two of the principals involved in the matter will share the story of how the two companies came to work together, how the matter turned out, and what lessons the experience offers for other enterprises facing complex legal matters. Our guests are: Brad Rogers, chief operations officer and chief of staff for law, government relations, regulatory affairs, and corporate secretary at TIAA.

It’s been a busy and productive last few months for the cannabis industry’s only true super-state operator. And as reported by Stockhouse back in August, this Company continues to make big waves in some of North America’s biggest markets. Cannabis company Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (RWB) (CSE.RWB, OTC:TDRYD, Forum) went public on the CSE in June 2020 and has struck several deals since then, including acquiring licensing rights to the iconic High Times brand in Michigan, Illinois, and Florida, in June. A month later, RWB exercised out an option to acquire Pharma Co – a deal which would give the Company ten dispensaries in Michigan and eight more in various stages of development, as well multiple grow facilities. Then last month, Red White & Bloom closed the acquisition of the Platinum Vape Group of California-based companies, whose products are sold at more 700 retailers in Michigan, California, and Oklahoma. When combined with RWB’s 3.6 million square foot Illinois greenhouse that’s licensed to grow hemp, you have a healthy set of assets. In this lively and informative podcast, Stockhouse Media’s Dave Jackson was joined by Red White and Bloom’s Chairman and CEO Brad Rogers to talk all things Red White & Bloom. SH: First off, let’s talk about the difference between super-state operations and multi-state operations. What’s the distinction and how does being ‘SUPER’ play into your expansion plans? BR: Well, super is better than multi. I would think just because of what we saw was you know, it was a land grab across multiple States and there was a premium on, in the markets for the most States with the most stakes in the ground. And really that made no sense to us in terms of how to run a business. And so, you know, critical mass is where it's at for us. And, you know, with critical mass, you become a, you become super, you know, I mean, that, that was we, we needed to redefine what the value there, what in the definition of superstate operator versus multi-state operator, and really set ourselves apart and say, you know what, we're going deep, wherever we go, we're going critical. Wherever we go. You know, one store in 19 States does not make for a great business because you have to manage them all. You have to work with compliance your governance, et cetera. You know, one whim of a regulatory framework change in any state can really put you out of business if you're not on top of it. And so where we wanted to be was really owning a state and really owning the business and, and being able to help shape that business within that state that we're in and our beachhead was Michigan. And so we started there and went critical mass. And so that was one of the starting of what we saw is really redefining MSO into SSL superstate operator. And then of course, as you, as you succinctly said, we went into Illinois with a real strategy there with respect to seeing you know, the hemp bill came through and now, you know, CBD is now a national potential for the United States. And we started there because we were a little bit late to the game in the, in the Illinois market to get a license there for THC, however, we're actively pursuing one right now. And, and being very, very look looking like we're got some traction there as well. So I won't get ahead of myself there. But I think that that's effectively what we wanted to do and it's 3.6 million square feet. So a massive, massive operation. And you know, when that TAC license comes in a 200,000 square foot canopy, we'll do, you know, a very, very nice piece of business. We estimate somewhere around 200 plus million dollars of revenue just in that one facility with no stores and satiate that market and have the ability to do that with really no cap ex out because we've got the infrastructure already. So, you know, a very strategic play in a very critical mass way in Illinois. So we've got a very nice big chunk of business, as you said in Michigan and a very, very high potential business within Illinois and Florida, we're actively working on. Very interesting situation there, which is very exciting for us on top of that as well. So and of course, as you mentioned as well, you know, we get to leverage the high times brand, which is effectively, as far as I'm concerned, the only brand in cannabis around for 46 years, and really has the mind share of the, of, of the, of, of the U S market. And so you know, that's exciting for me. And so I, I hope I answered your question on the superstate. I went deep on it, went long on it, as long as they do a very short question, but that's how we see our business going real critical mass and wherever we go. SH: Red White and Bloom just closed a deal to launch Platinum Vape products in Arizona later this quarter. What more can you tell us about that? BR: Well, it was funny that that deal was in the works prior to us taking buying that company. And so that's with another MSO I would call them or maybe they're, you know, retracting into or scaling up into a refining themselves into an SSL as I understand. But that that's is, is a deal with somebody else. That's in that state utilizing their facilities to be able to actually produce platinum material and use their facilities as a license and distribution channel. So really, really exciting for us to get into that market because as you know rec (recreational-use cannabis) is on the ballot for November, for Arizona and, and man, that's, that's another market that is really insatiable right now. And so, you know, taking platinum into that that market and, and negotiating a high times piece on it on top of it right now, as well, we'll be in we'll be in four plus States with High Times and Platinum Vapes and using their formulations and, and getting, getting you know, distribution within those channels is going to be really, really exciting and, and, and, and, you know, paying out for shareholders for sure. SH: Last month, RWB closed on a 25-million-dollar bought-deal to finance M-and-A activity and operations. What does financing like this mean in terms of support for your company? BR: Oh, look, I mean, there's, there's so many opportunities right now in terms of what's available in the States. I mean, there's a lot of predatory opportunities right now for us. But you know, the 25 million was actually a $15 million race. There was 40 million in the book way over subscribed and we took 25. And so that was the result of the, of the high demand oversubscription and, and, and real, real, clearly some, some demand for the, for the name and the stock and of course where the value was for the people that got into it. You know, you're, you really understand what's going on when you, when you really have a look at the markets that we're in and, and see what the potential is there for those markets. And so that money obviously will go a very, very long way in getting us you know, that much more fortified in in the States that we're in and super gets super rare. So yeah, so that's effectively the 25 million was a very successful race. You know, you can always go out and get more, but we're, we run our companies very, very lean. We spend it like it's ours, we're very judicious with our capital. And clearly when you look at the PV deal it's a very big win for both of us, and it's a very, very good deal for red, white and bloom. And we're very, very excited about that. And that was effectively what that raise was to be able to get that over the line and really solidify the business there. SH: The Company has solid revenue in the bank. How do you feel your financial performance stacks up to initial forecasts, as well as when compared to how other companies are doing in the market as a whole? BR: Yeah, so, so the way the deal was structured, and Michigan was unique. And that's why you don't see other big players in that space right now. What we did was RWB was an investment co that invested in a license down there. And so that's the way we structured it. And so we have a put call on that, and unfortunately we can't report those revenues to date right now with, with our investee, but they're significant because when you look at you know, what's going on in the market down there, we have we, we have our infrastructure really generating a lot of business down there. And so you know, for, for us to be releasing the results that we had I would call that a speck of sand on the beach to what is really going on. And there's a lot more there. And once we close the foot call, which it's I've, I've, I've done the foot call, so that's been exercised. So we're just going through the final stages of that now to pull our investee under our wing and be able to re post those results. So we've got platinum vapes now and then we'll have our investee and then and then we've got the Illinois facility that's doing a very big chunk of business right now on the CBD hemp side. So you know, those three assets really are, are, are, are performing and growing like a week old pun intended. SH: There’s an upcoming catalyst for your business around your core asset in Michigan that’s been in the works for the past six months, and you expect to be closing this transaction soon. Can you offer an update on this? BR: Yeah, so, like I said, the put, the foot call has been exercise. And right now we're just going through the compliance pieces to be good corporate citizens and show that we're, you know, the people that are coming in to this operation, to the regulator that we're, we're, we're good corporate citizens, and we're able to run a good business and be compliant to their regulations. And so all that information is in now and, and they've got it. And we're just going through the process right now of final stages. What's called a pre-qualification. And once we're pre-qualified, then we're able to actually fully exercise the foot call and bring our best D under, under our wing and start reporting all their revenues on our books. So that's from, from what I understand a very, very short time away a couple of weeks as a matter of fact. So you know, from, from what I get and so really looking forward to pulling that in and being able to report. So that's effectively the, the update on that on that situation. So it's been a long time coming. We fortified the business up until this point and we put the call in and now, now we're just, it's a waiting game with the regulator to get approved and should be very short period of time. SH: Can you run us through the company’s plan with rebranding your stores as ‘High Times’ stores and the exclusive licensing agreement to use that same name for branded products and delivery? BR: Sure. Yeah. So look, I mean, as I said before, I mean, High Times is just such a, such a real house, Mindshare a winner in the market. And, you know, my litmus test for, for a brand awareness is, you know, you shake somebody's awake in the middle of the night and you say tide, they say detergent. They say Snickers, they say chocolate bar, and you say high times they say weed. And so, you know, that to me is, is really where high time sits in the markets. Very captive audience, very aware market in Michigan, specifically where the biggest cannabis cup is as a matter of fact it's bigger than any other state, they hold cannabis cups in. So you know, that is, is, is well into the works. We're, we're assessing that out right now. We're also doing products as well. So we're doing, we'll, we'll be doing high times vapes, high times, flower, high times you know, all those pieces. And so that, you know, complimentary is just more of a compliment to you know, what the high times brand is beyond that, of what our brick and mortar stores can be. So we'll have distribution with high times products as well. So that's one more piece that we're able to drill down that much further in, beyond out of Michigan. We've got it in Illinois, and we've also got it in in Florida. So we don't have to open stores, nor do we have to do you know, anything to that nature or that degree in terms of cap ex out in Illinois and or Florida for the moment we can go in with products. So that's one more piece of the strategy that we're executing on right now as well with the high tens brand SH: Looking ahead six months to a year down the road, what do you see for the future of Red White and Bloom Brands? BR: Oh, man. I mean, this is embryonic, this is the end of prohibition. I mean, what did, what did Daniels look like before Jack Daniels was Jack Daniels? I mean, you know, that's the exciting part for me and I, couldn't be more excited about, you know, what the potential of this business holds, especially in the United States where there's, there's real fundamentals, there's massive commerce, there's so much to be done and so much to be had down there in terms of taking advantage of opportunities and, you know, market share. No one is there, there's a couple of dominant players, but there's so much room to become you know, top three it's, it's, it's crazy. And so, you know, we've had a far shorter run in the States than, than our peers but you know, effectively a year and a half. And when our results come out, it'll be very, very pleasantly surprising most of the market, including our shareholders. And so you know, and, and the upside to that is, you know, being public and having that currency to be able to go and do more MNA, more acquisitions, just grow to the degree we can and take advantage of this market. It's just so darn exciting. I hope, I hope I succinctly articulated myself over my exuberance. SH: Finally, Brad, how can people get in touch with the company to find out more? BR: So, yeah, so look, I mean, we've got on our website red, white bloom dot com. We've got an investor section. We've got our, our current deck up there for people to go and look at. We also have you know, a very friendly IRR team that is more than happy to answer any questions anybody has. So you know, I, I implore everybody to go there, check out the website, look at what we're doing, get updated see what's going on with the, you know, the platinum vapes brand and the high time situation. And what's going on in Michigan, Illinois, and, you know, subsequently Florida and all the other markets that we're in. So please go check it out.
So this episode got off to kind of a rough start, but the mistake I made in calling Brian Watson, Brian Hamilton was actually a blessing in disguise. Why? Well, because I had his name wrong (the Good George Brewery is in Hamilton, hence my error), my research didn't turn yup much about his friggen amazing career...this guy is an OG, right up there with names like Dave Bonighton, Brad Rogers, Phil Sexton, Ross Jurisich, Brendan Varis, Jamie Cook, Chuck Hahn and so on...So yeah, I enjoyed discovering more about Brians adventures, just like I hope you will...in fact, I enjoyed it so much I may just have to invite him back for more story time!We of course talk a lot about the Good George Brewery story, but in typical Beer Healer Interviews style, there are a few detours and we cover a lot of ground covered in this 45 minute session, including:His link to a few of my home town breweries;His experience as an international beer judge and brewery commissioner;Being invited to Russian Rivers birthday party;Launching Vonu in Fiji;His infamous Squealers that exploded on supermarket shelves; andMaking Covid whisky from returned beer kegsI really enjoyed this chat, and look forward to the next one!

This week we speak with with Ben Summons and Nick Boots. Over the last few months Stone & Wood founder Jamie Cook has retired from the business and Ben Summons has stepped up from managing director of Stone & Wood into the role of CEO of the Fermentum group of companies, the overarching business.

As you'll here both Ben and Nick have extensive careers in and out of the beer industry, including time at CUB overlapping with founders Brad Rogers, Jamie Cook and Ross Jurisich. All in all there was a lot to talk about including the origins of craft beer and whether Stone & Wood represented a lost opportunity for CUB, the opportunities and challenges facing Stone & Wood, and the challenges they face as the next generation of managers, the changing beer market and staying disciplined in in a time of change.

Welcome to a special Beer is a Conversation, our last for 2019. A live chat with Stone & Wood co-founder Brad Rogers recorded at Brisbane's My Beer Dealer. It's fair to say that Brad is a legend. If it wasn't just for creating Pacific Ale, arguably the most influential new beer of the last twenty years, Brad would still be revered as a brewer. This is a wonderful, long chat with Brad about so much that is going on in the beer word at the moment, but also about the beers that he is creating at his Stone & Wood side project Forest for the Trees. As with the previous Live from My Beer Dealer, this was a rare podcast recorded with beer in hand. Regular listeners will know that we avoid the sip and discuss style podcast, and so parts of the chat about the specific beers have been edited out for the podcast listeners benefit. Thanks to Antoinette, Matt and Les at My Beer Dealer for hosting us - and congratulations on your first year. We will be recording more live chats there, so please let us know how the live chat translates to podcast so we can continue to improve how we do it. As always it's a fascinating and epic conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Radio Brews News is proudly presented by Cryer Malt.

"James 4:1-10" - Brad Rogers - 10/18/15 by New Life Fellowship Church
We kick off season two of the Drinks Adventures podcast with a in-depth look at the brewery founded in Byron Bay, Australia in 2008, Stone & Wood Brewing Company.Stone and Wood celebrated its tenth anniversary last year and I started covering drinks as a journalist not long after Stone & Wood started brewing.As such, I've followed their evolution very closely over the years, reporting on their key milestones along the way, which has given me a lot of insight into their business and some excellent resources to draw upon in putting this story together.But in fact, this story isn't only about Stone & Wood, it's also a bit of a look at the current state of play in Australian independent brewing, an industry sector that is in the midst of an unprecedented boom that is not without its challenges.The Drinks Adventures podcast is proudly supported by our friends at Bintani, Australia’s leading supplier of ingredients for the brewing and distilling industries.Bintani has all the ingredients you need, and they have experts in all categories on the team, so they understand how ingredients work together like no one else in Australia.NB: Since recording this documentary earlier this year, Alexis Roitman has departed her role as CEO of the Independent Brewers Association. We wish her the best of luck.This episode would not have been possible without the generosity of the organisations that gave me permission to use their audio.Thank you to the Telstra Business Awards, Finance News Network and Matt Kirkegaard at Australian Brews News.Thanks also to the wonderful music acts that cleared their tracks for use on the show: From London, Asad Rizvi AKA Silverlining; From New York City, No Regular Play and from my home town of Sydney, We Lost The Sea.If you watched the recent Ricky Gervais series After Life on Netflix, you may have heard We Lost The Sea's tune A Gallant Gentleman feature on the soundtrack.Ricky is a big We Lost The Sea fan and I'm privileged to be able to use that same track on this episode of the podcast.And thank you to Dave Robertson for his massive efforts in mixing and editing this episode and all episodes in Season Two.If you enjoyed this episode on Stone & Wood, go back to Season One, Episode Three and check out my interview with Janice McDonald, who was the first head brewer at Little Creatures.

Creating an iconic brand in 10 years is a challenge however for many, that's exactly what Ross Jurisich and his co-founders Jamie Cook and Brad Rogers have managed to achieve with Stone & Wood. The story behind their journey form corporate beer guys to creators of the best beer in the world (my opinion only) is one of resilience, creativity and an understanding of the exact experience that they are hoping to create.

This week on Brews News Week, Pete and Matt discuss the beers news of the week. Under the microscope this week is: The US Brewers Association is again revisiting the definition of ‘craft', with a view to changing the definition of independence. Some people say that “Craft beer” means anything Boston Beer wants it to. But non-beer products are becoming an increasing part of brewer's portfolios. Stone & Wood co-founder Brad Rogers has started brewing under his own brand, Forest for the Trees, launching with a Saison. Endeavour Brewing launches crowdfunding campaign Pete also pays tribute to Dr Ian Davis, founder of FightMND who died this week after being a campaigner for MND research and a huge inspiration for many. Brewmanity and Cavalier both have beers raising money for this disease. Seek them out this week and have one in Ian's memory.

Denny and Brad will discuss a noisy launch of Sun Chips, the ideal characteristics of a snack bag, and the 37th largest economy in the world. Designing a snack bag can be challenging. It needs to be durable, environmentally-friendly, and attractive to the eye. Brad clues us in on the thought process that goes into each layer of a snack bag. Yes, snack bags have layers. 10-15 layers, actually!

Panelists include: Jonathan Palan, AutoFi; Serge Vartanov, AutoGravity; Danny Martinez, Blinker; Brad Rogers, RouteOne; Sam Ellis, DriverUp; Moderator: Craig Schleicher, PwC. Auto finance is a key asset class that is ripe for disruption, at LendIt USA 2017 we hosted a panel on the future of car financing; the panel featured a mix of traditional players in the space and new startups that are looking to streamline the consumers experience in buying a car; panelists cover direct versus indirect financing, customers being able to use their mobile device to search for financing options and how lenders are currently competing for the dealers business; the new startups in the market talked about how to build out an experience for the correct type of customer and offering more transparency for consumer and investors; though auto financing is still done through the dealer, these companies are beginning to give the consumer more choice when looking for their next vehicle purchase.
This special edition of Radio Brews News features a discussion panel that took place back in May during Good Beer Week called Brewers and Growers.

The panel looked at the issues facing both growers supplying the craft beer sector, and the ingredient needs of craft brewers. The panel was chaired by Katherine McLean from the Craft Beer Industry Association. It's a open discussion with plenty of forthright opinions from the panel and especially from the floor. Australian Brews News was honoured to get to present the discussion, and it is a great listen.
