This episode covers:An interview with Daniel Huerter. Daniel Huerter is co-Founder and CEO of Pure Spectrum CBD. After graduating from University of Kansas in 2012, Huerter pursued a successful career with a Fortune 500 software company. He quickly gained the trust of high-level clients in the public sector like SMU, Cal Poly, and even The United States Senate. His drive and passion to create something he believed in, helped push him to take the risk and leave that career behind - rolling the dice with a cannabis startup in the early days of the CBD boom. Huerter would become the first person to ever speak about the benefits of CBD for athletes on national television, highlighting the company's partnership with The CrossFit Games on CBS Sports in 2018. He would continue to help Pure Spectrum grow and achieve history-making milestones, before stepping down as COO in 2019. After co-founding and helping run a hemp distribution company from 2019 to 2021 - Huerter answered the call from his first company - asking him to return and take over as CEO.

Join us as Paul is rejoined by John Lambert of Cal Poly University Pomona in his second time on the podcast. John just wrapped judging on Region 14 - which is set to be the largest regional of the year. In addition to being the biggest of the year, the show actually sold out of stalls. John enjoyed what was a very long week judging an extremely talented group of horses. Both Paul and John dive into what it means to judge at a high level within the Arabian industry, from technical knowledge, scrutiny of the details, and the endurance required to stand in an arena all day long without much walking and definitely very little sitting. They discuss the potential of conflicts of interests in such a tight-knit community, and discuss their strategies to avoid them. They also discuss why a horse may end up placed drastically differently from one judge to another - from background, to personal preference, to what one person saw that another may have missed. They also jump into auction transparency: When John took on the Head Trainer position at Cal Poly Pomona, an end was brought to private treaty sales from the Cal Poly program and all horses were sold at auction. John talks through how he approached this unique problem, and how Cal Poly has not only sold more horses, but have drawn more buyers through their practices that set forth an alternative blueprint for managing sales in the Arabian industry.

Here's one of the great benefits of having a podcast: at any time, you have a perfectly acceptable excuse to ask someone over to chat. And that's exactly what I did here. Dr. Deb Donig is Assistant Professor of English Literature at Cal Poly and a Lecturer at UC Berkeley's School of Information in the Master's in Data Science Program. She is the co-founder of the Cal Poly Ethical Technology Initiative and the host of “Technically Human,” a podcast where she talks with major thinkers, writers, and industry-leading technologists about the relationship between humans and the technologies they create. So what does this have to do with food, you ask? Professor Donig's specialty is the intersection of ethics and technology, and she has a deep and abiding interest in the concept of so-called “clean meat” or lab-grown meat. She also has the philosophical chops to think critically about what this kind of technology could mean for humanity—as you'll hear in this interview, I marveled at her critical thinking prowess and ability to hold multiple truths at once.    Website: debdonig.com Podcast: Technically Human

Episode 125: Building a Feminist Architecture FirmHow do you redefine what a 21st-century architecture firm looks like and how it operates?This week Leah Alissa Bayer, Sarah Vaccaro, and Kate Conley discuss their practice, Architects FORA, a 100% woman-owned design firm. This episode explores the ownership transition of this 40-year-old practice, how they operate the fully virtual practice, and the values that shape the feminist practice. They detail specific changes they've made in their hiring processes to support diversity and inclusion in a remote environment, and how remote working bolsters ongoing communication, collaboration, and 1:1 mentorship.“If you give people the appropriate space so that they can do their work in the environment that they're comfortable in, and then create this very transparent platform that people can receive communication when they can digest it — or go back if they've forgotten, or if something comes up on a project — that's way more valuable than just a passing conversation that just happened because you're looking over somebody's shoulder. It's intentional, it's documented, it's recorded, it's scalable. It's better in every way.” - Architects FORAGuests:Sarah Vaccaro AIA, LEED AP is Principal at Architects FORA. Her passion for design and serving communities drives the commitment to the quality and purpose behind FORA's work.

Becky is from California and is a barrel racer. Despite those handicaps, she is quite the horsewoman. She is the only person ever inducted into the California Gymkhana Assoc. Hall of Fame and did it on a purebred Arab.  Becky has a bachelors and masters from Cal Poly, Pamona. She's been a trainer's assistant to trainers in Western Pleasure, Dressage, Reining, and Halter. She finished up her apprenticeships under Certified Monte Foreman Instructors. She's now been training professionally for 18 years and specializes in halter breaking and 60 day colt starting. She's a 3X World Show Qualifier in Barrels and Poles and has won back to back Ranch Horse Futurities in 2013 and 2014. She now lives in South Dakota with her boyfriend, JD and starts lots of the ranch's colts, rides some outside colts too, and works on developing her barrel horses. Becky's a hand. A customer, friend, and former podcast guest, Claire Dupuis, told me I should contact Becky and have a chat with her and I wasn't disappointed. We're very much on the same page and there's lots of great tips on colt starting and halter breaking in this one.Their ranch and a few others also put on the Blue Valentine and Driftwood Sale each year with select colts for the public. They haul down to Springfield, MO, and this year it's Sept. 9th at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds. This sale isn't only special because of the bloodlines and select nature. JD has seen to it that each year they select a colt that's just for the kids. You have to be 16 or under to bid/buy it, and the proceeds from the colt go into a scholarship each year for a young adult going into agriculture or an agriculture related field.Becky also lost her mother to cancer earlier this year, so they have a cancer research fundraiser too. Each year they donate the proceeds to a different cancer charity. This year it's going to breast cancer. The premise behind this one is to get people outside and moving around more. This began July 21st and runs through Oct. 4th. Becky encourages everyone to ride/walk/run 76 miles in 76 days and donate at least $100 to the cause, hopefully raising $7600. Her mother would have been 76 on Oct. 4th and what an awesome daughter to honor her mother's memory this way!

Hometown Radio 07/06/23 5p: Molly Clark from Cal Poly Arts unveils the new season

How Fungi Are Breaking The Binary: A Queer Approach To Ecology As Pride month comes to a close, many people are reflecting on the past, present, and future of the LGBTQIA+ community. An interdisciplinary group of scientists, researchers, and artists are using queerness as a lens to better understand the natural world, too. It's a burgeoning field called queer ecology, which aims to break down binaries and question our assumptions of the natural world based on heterosexuality. For example, there are plenty of examples of same-sex animal pairings in the wild, like penguins, chimps, and axolotls. There are also plants that change sexes, or have a combination of male and female parts, like the mulberry tree. But perhaps the most queer kingdom of all is fungi. Mushrooms are not easily forced into any type of binary. For example, the Schizophyllum commune, or the split gill mushroom, has 23,000 sexes, making it somewhat of a queer icon in the field of mycology. SciFri producer Kathleen Davis talks with Patty Kaishian, incoming curator of mycology at the New York State Museum, about how fungi might help us expand our understandings of sexuality, identity, and hierarchy. They also discuss how queer ecology can help people of all sexualities reconnect with the natural world.   Scientists Think Cloning Could Help Save Endangered Species Earlier this year, a baby Przewalski's horse was born at the San Diego Zoo. But this foal isn't any ordinary foal, he's a clone. He's the product of scientists aiming to save his dwindling species using genetics. This endangered horse species once roamed Europe and Asia, but by the 1960, threats like poaching, capture, and military presence drove the horses to extinction in the wild. Conservationists raced to save this wild horse through captive breeding programs, but with a population so small, there just wasn't enough genetic diversity to grow a healthy herd. But with careful genetic management, the Przewalski's horse's population is now nearly 2,000 horses strong, and this new foal will one day help boost his species' genetic diversity even more. Producer Kathleen Davis talks with Dr. Oliver Ryder, conservation geneticist at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, about cloning Przewalski's horse, and how doing so will infuse genetic diversity into the small population. Then Davis talks with Dr. Sam Wisely, professor of wildlife ecology and conservation at the University of Florida, about how cloning can help other endangered species, like the black-footed ferret, and the ethics involved in cloning.   Twenty Years On, The Little CubeSat Is Bigger Than Ever The story of the CubeSat started with a big problem for one Cal Poly professor. “It was actually a critical problem for us, but it was a problem that nobody else cared about,” said Jordi Puig-Suari, an Emeritus Professor from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He co-invented the CubeSat with Bob Twiggs from Stanford. Puig-Suari is now retired and has spent the last four years sailing around the world with his wife. I talked to him over Zoom from somewhere along that journey. He takes me back two decades to his time as a professor at Cal Poly where he was hired to develop their aerospace engineering department. Read the rest of this article at sciencefriday.com.   Remembering Engineer And Author Henry Petroski Last week the world watched as rescuers from across the globe searched for a tiny experimental submersible that had disappeared, carrying five people on a dive to the wreck of the R.M.S. Titanic. That search turned out, sadly, to be in vain. The Titan submersible is believed to have imploded in the North Atlantic, killing all aboard. The intersection of design, engineering, and human risk-taking is a recurring theme throughout modern history. One of the finest chroniclers of those tales was Henry Petroski, who died earlier this month at the age of 81. He was a professor of engineering and history at Duke University, and author of many books. Petroski was known for his critical eye and insightful view of various missteps and faults in pursuit of progress—from improving bridge designs for safety to the tragic loss of the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia. Some called Petroski the “poet laureate of technology” for his prolific writings on everything from the design of bridges to the fabrication of pencils. In this recording from 2012, Ira Flatow spoke with the late professor Petroski about engineering failures, and humanity's follies.   To stay updated on all-things-science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

Eighteen years ago, faced with a painful change coming in his life, Erik Larson knew it was time for change within himself. He came to the Hoffman Process. Eight days later, upon his return home, he told his two small children he had been at Better Daddy School. He told them things were going to be different. From that day forward, they were because he had changed. This was the beginning of his new life, a life Erik now deeply loves. In this conversation, Erik and Drew go deep into the transformation that is possible through the work of the Process. Erik takes us through his experience of taking a painful moment of his life and using it to do the work to become the man, father, and businessman he knew in his heart he could be. Erik speaks about two pivotal moments of his Process. The first was when a few of his fellow Process mates offered reflections on what they saw when they looked at him. He had seen a similar image when looking at himself and wanted to change it, but did not know how. It was then that something amazing happened, something he could not explain but knew was profound.  The other pivotal moment was during a heart-to-heart exercise. Suddenly, his confusion and feelings of 'not getting it' disappeared and he began to Erik apply himself completely to the work. Hundreds of people found their way to the Hoffman Process through Erik's recommendation and how he speaks of the change that is possible. Life is a process of coming back to the Right Road again and again, and as for each of us, Erik's is no exception. He speaks of his life, including the hard parts, with honesty, gratitude, and love. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Erik and Drew. More about Erik Larson: Erik grew up in the Pacific Northwest where he learned to love the outdoors. After graduating from the business school at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, he moved to San Francisco where he began his first career with Ernst & Young.  He raced Sailboats on a national champion yacht for 5 years before relocating to Aspen, Colorado for the next 27 years.  Erik became a partner in a firm in Aspen. He was married and has two magnificent children who are thriving in university life in Sydney, Australia where Erik lives part of the year. Erik loves to be an inspiration and motivating force for people to become the best they can be.  His tagline at Aspen CrossFit was “Igniting Human Potential” and Erik did just that for thousands of people along the way. Now, Erik is in the process of figuring out what his next chapter in life holds.  He is obsessed with photography and is self-taught. Take a look at Erik's photography on Instagram to see what he has accomplished. Erik's favorite mantra is “I LOVE MY LIFE!!! And it certainly is evident.

He spent 2022 in Rookie and Single A with good strikeout numbers.

Free Farm Friday Farmer Brian K from Texas Farmer Dan M from New Jersey  Remember when that dairy farm caught on fire and killed thousands of mil cows? That is what happens, you pack as many in as you can and hope for the best. CAFO = Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation  CAFO - as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture, is an intensive animal feeding operation in which over 1,000 animal units are confined for over 45 days a year. An animal unit is the equivalent of 1,000 pounds of "live" animal weight. HEADLINE: The Nation's First Regenerative Dairy Works with Nature to Heal the Soil—at Scale by Gosia Wozniacka  It took the Alexandres more than three decades to fine-tune their system of building up soil, restoring wetlands, and bringing a multitude of birds and wildlife to their property, from bald eagles to coho salmon. Stephanie and her husband Blake are both fourth-generation dairy operators who grew up on conventional dairy farms in California. They met at Cal Poly, where, they said, they were taught plenty about farm chemicals and livestock antibiotics but nothing about soil biology. But they were willing to try different approaches, and it turns out that willingness to farm against the grain has been key to their success.  The couple currently farm on about 9,000 acres (up from 560 acres when they first bought the ranch) with 8,000 head of cattle, including 4,500 mature cows, spread across four locations. All of their cows are on pasture after 5 months of age and the entire land gets grazed eight to nine times per year.

John Quint (who pulls a JFK and also goes by Jack Quint) owns and operates Deltina Coffee Roasters, located in Oceano and, as of this summer, a location near Cal Poly on Taft Street in San Luis Obispo. As a native of Seattle and the nephew of a prominent master roaster, Jack comes by his coffee culture honestly. He started his career as a CPA specializing in international taxation, but when coffee became his true love, he made a plan to start a roastery. Why did he and his wife Jill — yes, Jack and Jill — why did they choose the little coastal town of Oceano to set down roots with their five kids? And why open a new spot? You'll have to listen to find out. Oh, also, Jack sent me a few pounds of Deltina coffee and I am loving its French-Roasty style.   Website: deltinacoffeeroasters.com Instagram: @deltinacoffee

In this episode of the Vint Podcast,  Brady and Billy talk with CEO and Founder of Tastry, Katerina Axelsson. Tastry provides machine learning analysis and client services to evaluate and measure the chemistry of wines against consumer preferences to help producers and retailers optimize for what their consumers want the most. We ask Katerina about technology and the wine industry generally, as well as how AI and machine learning can impact the industry for the benefit of businesses and consumers. From the Tastry website: "Katerina is a graduate of Cal Poly with a B.S. in Chemistry. While in school, Katerina worked at a custom-crush facility and noticed that one of their batches imprinted with two different labels received drastically different industry scores: it was then that she knew there had to be a more science-based way to score wine. Thus, Tastry was born. Over the next three years, she taught a computer how to taste."For more information on the Vint platform, please contact us anytime at brady@vint.co or billy@vint.co.

This chaotic atmosphere became normal and Taylor became accustomed to stuffing her emotions inwards. It wasn't until early adulthood that she experienced the harm of emotional suppression in the form of addiction.Taylor attended Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo as a communications major and dance minor.  The first two years of college were painful as Taylor struggled socially and suffered from severe depression and anxiety.  She developed an eating disorder that lasted for two years before she found alcohol and partying as a replacement.  Within 11 months, Taylor found herself a prisoner to lethal drug addiction.  Despite her illness, she graduated Cal Poly in 2019 with a 3.5 GPA.  Within three weeks of moving home from school, Taylor was sent to an intensive inpatient rehabilitation program.Taylor earned 18 months of sobriety and applied to graduate school to become an LMFT in 2020 with the desire to help fellow addicts. She successfully completed the first quarter, but by the second quarter, drugs found her again. Taylor withdrew and went to a rehabilitation facility in Texas that had horses and equine therapy. She also got back into yoga and found its nurturing movement patterns to help her heal physically, mentally, and emotionally.After 2 years of continuous sobriety, rigorous AA step work, and self-exploration, Taylor decided to go back to Antioch University where she is in school to become an LMFT.  She is eager to offer therapeutic help to fellow addicts in recovery, and is also keen to help children of divorce navigate their ways through the murky waters of a dissolving family system.  Taylor is very excited to be pursuing a career in mental health where she can learn how to help people, like herself, heal. Show Notes - 0:00 - Coming Up on ‘What I Meant to Say'0:23 - WIMTS Intro0:45 - Welcome Taylor Grant1:28 - Discovering the Addictive Pattern4:18 - The Importance of a Father7:28 - High School11:31 - First Two Years of College at Cal Poly SLO13:20 - I Found Alcohol & Partying21:31 - Isolation Drinking & Blacking Out in College23:46 - Summer Before Senior Year I Met a Guy27:50 - Everyone Smokes Marijuana29:25 - Introduced to Cocaine & Headed to Rehab within 11 Months34:16 - Shameful Graduation38:17 - How Were Your Parents Dealing at This Point?46:10 - It's A Day to Day Choice51:35 - A God Shot59:57 - Taylor of Today1:02:15 - Takeaways from Daughters of Divorce Book1:06:55 - What I Would Tell My Younger Self1:07:29 - Thank You 1:08:26 - WIMTS Closing Links & Where to Find Taylor - IG - @tay1031

This episode was recorded live at Perrine's Le Pop Up in Atlanta, GA and features winemaker Alice Anderson of âmevive wine. Âmevive is a small winery and vineyard based in Santa Barbara County. Alice and her partner farm a historic 10-acre vineyard in Los Olivos District AVA home to Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Marsanne planted in 1971. After graduating Cal Poly with a BS in Wine and Viticulture and a few California harvests under her belt, she headed to Central Otago, New Zealand for 7 months working at Amisfield in the cellar and at Rippon Vineyard in the biodynamic vineyards with the Mills family. In August of 2015, she headed to the Northern Rhone to work as an intern at Chez Pierre Gaillard. She says those two years in France were the foundation for âmevive, so she moved back to the states in 2017, she really began to conceptualize her dream of starting her own project of Northern Rhone wines made with a Californian playfulness. Âmevive's first vintage was in 2019, and Alice and her partner now lease the historic Ibarra-Young Vineyard in Los Olivos District AVA, one of the first vineyards planted in the Santa Ynez Valley. This vineyard is the heart of Âmevive, so we talk about how - and why - she chooses to use biodynamic and regenerative organic farming practices that allow her to focus on the ecosystem of their vineyard as a whole. Relatively new to the Georgia market, her wines are already captivating an audience intrigued by a portfolio that is made with so much intention and attention to detail. You'll hear her passion for the natural land and for making energetic wines that represent a sense of place. You can follow @amvive.wine and visit www.amevivewine.com to learn more to join her wine club.

Welcome to Episode 379 of The Outdoor Biz Podcast and my conversation with Steve Lee, Hot Chillys Senior VP of Sales. Steve has been with Hot Chillys in one form or another since 1988. From outdoor and snow sports to running and cycling, their high-quality, durable base layer and winter accessories are ideal for staying warm and dry during your favorite cold weather activities.

You can contact me here: email: rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com or leave me a message on Speakpipe! Presented to by: Show Notes Show Notes How'd you get into the outdoors? Steve got into the outdoors with some friends in high school. They went on a backpacking trip up to Desolation Wilderness and fell in love with it. They then took a 21-day backpacking and climbing course, which culminated in their love for the outdoors. Where, where'd you learn how to ski? What was your first snow experience? Steve learned to ski at a Tyrolia Ski School in Minnesota and then moved to Northern California before high school, where they used to go skiing at North Star. Steve's first experience with Hot Chilly's He was working in the San Francisco Bay area after graduating from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. Steve and some friends then moved to the San Luis Obispo area and found work in an accounting and operations role for the company making Hot Chillys. So you've held a leadership role there since 2006. How has your leadership style evolved over the years? Steve said he has become more mature and learned to embrace the power of relationships, not just with people in the industry or reps, but also with their salespeople. “I will support them as best I can and not be another cook in the kitchen.” Over the years, what do you think have been the two or three most significant changes in our business? The two or three most significant changes in the business over the past 32 years include the introduction of online retail and direct-to-consumer, as well as the consolidation of specialty retail customers and the need for larger retailers to sell sports and outdoor products. Additionally, the eco influence on all aspects of the business is more prominent today than it was back then too. So your mission for Hot Chillys now is to keep you so comfortable you forget they're even there. How do you deliver on that? Hot Chillys is the first body fit performance base layer, created by two guys in Southern California who wanted to keep themselves comfortable while skiing and fishing. They partnered up with a guy who was manufacturing running tights for Nike and Adidas and had machines that could do the flatlock stitch. The three of 'em came up with the idea of making a base layer that hugs the body and performs better. The first product they came up with was the original, which was packaged in a can. They focused on sourcing and developing fabrics that are ultra-soft, comfortable, and comfortable on the body, so the focus is on having fun outdoors. I love your warmth ratings. How are those developed? The brand name Hot Chillys is an homage to their love of Mexico, and the warm factor thermometer is meant to mimic the mild, medium, hot thermometer found on a jar of salsa. Every product has a different rating. Do you guys have anything new in the pipeline you could talk about? We've always been known a little bit more on the Wintersports side and a lot of that product is body fit and comes in a variety of different weights and fabrications. But we've had a few products that have always done well, that were more on the relaxed fit side. So we have developed a line of relaxed fit products, such as Clima-Tek and Clima-Wool. Clima-Tech is made of what we call M T F Moisture Transfer Fiber polyester with activated carbon which make it even softer and perform better, and gives it some antimicrobial properties. And so that kind of launched us into this series of products that are more relaxed fit. They have great performance characteristics but the cut of them and the colors and the styling is very appropriate for like street wear as well. It's not just pure on mountain base layer. It's meant to be something you could wear as a lifestyle piece, whether it's in a crew neck or a zip tee or a hoodie or a jogger or what have you. What outdoor activities do you still participate in? Steve gets out and does a lot of skiing, hiking, ocean kayaking, fishing, and camping. Do you have any suggestions and/or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor biz and/or grow their career? It doesn't seem like there's as many youth getting into the business as there once was. I think like I said before, the relationships are really key, it requires an investment of time. I don't think that success in our industry comes quickly, you know? So if you're passionate about the outdoors, which is a big reason why I've, I've stayed in the industry. Then you kind of gotta find where does that passion really lie or where is it most well expressed? Are you a retail person? Are you into developing product and, do you know, kind of like to invent stuff? Or are you more manufacturing and logistical minded? What's kind of your path to go down Do you have any, daily routines you use to keep your sanity? My daily routines include getting up early, having quiet time, reading and meditation, and taking our small dog for a walk along the beach. Do you have a favorite book or a couple of favorite books? Zen in the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is one of my favorite books. Recently, I've been reading more business-oriented books, such as The Three Chairs and Never Split the Difference, written by an FBI negotiator which is primarily about negotiating to a solution. What's your favorite piece of outdoor gear? Under a hundred dollars? Steves favorite piece of outdoor gear is a fanny pack, It is making a comeback. It's efficient and has everything they need for hiking, biking, and dog activities. It may not be the coolest look on the block, but it is a great addition to your outdoor gear. As we wrap up, is there anything else you'd like to say to our listeners or ask of our listeners? Check out Hot Chillys, it's a brand that's been around since 1985, always evolving, we have lots of new stuff. As I'm traveling, I'll have conversations with people in airports or on the plane and, you know, tell 'em what I do, and they're, oh yeah, I love Hot Chillys, I've had Hot Chillys forever and they know us from, from way back when and there's a lot of new and exciting stuff coming out this next year. So I would just encourage people to take a look at what we've got.

This principle of readiness could be applied to the exercise that happened on the campus of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo in 2022. At that time, the Emergency Management Department held a training exercise to emphasize readiness for a potential atmospheric river event. A few months later, the campus experienced a serious atmospheric river event which caused major flooding on and around the campus, destroying property and causing millions of dollars in damage. Emergency Services and Business Continuity Manager, Megan Harrington was a part of both events, helping organize the training, and also working hard to coordinate the response to the real-life event a few months later. She shares her experiences on this week's episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast. She also talks about how the university was able to be ready for such an event, and as such, respond more effectively. Megan also attended the Readiness Lab's Emergency Management Response for Dynamic Populations course last year in Atlanta. In this episode, she also talks about the lessons learned there and how they are being applied at Cal Poly to make the campus, and San Luis Obispo in general, a safer place.
