Nand Kishore Chaudhary built Jaipur Rugs into a runaway success by working closely with India's poorest citizens, and by developing an apprenticeship system around India's chronic battles with child labor. How do such difficult pieces fit into India's social and economic puzzle? "India's Rug Saint," written by Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, originally appeared in Craftsmanship Quarterly, a multimedia online magazine about artisans, innovators, and the architecture of excellence.

From 2007 - "Carved in Sand: When Attention Fails and Memory Fades in Midlife" by Cathryn Jakobson Ramin. The author writes about something she herself experienced - significant and noticeable memory loss shortly after turning 40 - and chronicles her efforts to deal with the problem with an array of different strategies. She also talks about how memory functions for the typical person.

Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, an investigative reporter with a bad back, spent years researching the $100-billion back-pain industry. She found that the most commonly-prescribed treatments, including surgery, frequently do not work — and often leave people a lot worse off. She also learned what does work. Whenever someone I know says their back is killing them, I send them a link to Ramin's 2017 book, Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry. In this episode, we hit the highlights of Ramin's findings. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

016 – Fitness: How A Program Markets Itself SYNOPSIS Ranalli and Volpe love to eat, which is likely why they choose to do their Marketing RV podcast from restaurants and bars. So, just what were they thinking when they invited a personal trainer on the program? Truth be told, the dynamic podcast duo is conscientious about physical appearance, too. In fact, Gene balances his brews with barbells, and vice versa, hence his Barbells and Brews podcast—but that's another subject for another blog post. Dwayne Wimmer of Vertex Fitness is the featured guest on this episode recorded before a buffet of delectables at Antonella's Italian Kitchen in  Bryn Mawr, PA. Lorraine invited Dwayne on the show as a result of his response to her Facebook solicitation for advice about sciatica. Rather than hit Lorraine with a hard sell of his strength training business, Dwayne simply recommended she read the book Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery by Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, which she did. Little did Dwayne know this was the perfect way to lure a skeptic into his gym. After trying a myriad of solutions, Lorraine is being trained at Vertex on the MedX Medical Lumbar Extension, to which she lovingly refers as the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.  Dwayne's philosophy about fitness and workouts may make you question everything you thought was bible. In this podcast, he reveals the source of most back pain and offers an alternative view on cardio, “core” strengthening, and calories in vs. calories out. In business since 2001, Vertex's differentiator is attention to detail with emphasis on safe, efficient, and effective strength training. Finally, kudos to special guest Susanne Williams who was not interviewed but captured terrific photos of the evening for this and the previous podcast featuring Antonella and Ray Santacroce. HIGHLIGHTS 02:10 Gene likens his experience podcasting with me to my debilitating sciatica. 04:45 It's Barbells and Brews, get the name right. 06:55 The name Vertex Fitness was the result of a cease and desist letter. 09:50 Why Dwayne prefers the GP over division one athletes. 11:00 Dwayne's philosophy on fitness. 14:48 Dwayne recommends seeing a registered dietician for consultation on diets. 15:10 Dwayne explains why doing a lot of cardio can lead to weight gain. 20:31 Dwayne makes a bold statement about body builders.   24:44 Meet the MedX Medical Lumbar Extension, which strengthens the lower back. 26:14 Inversion, traction, and other means of back pain relief. 27:47 This is what a 30-minute Vertex workout looks like.

Cathryn Jakobson Ramin struggled with backache and sciatica for years. Like millions of other back pain sufferers, she was overwhelmed with ill-defined options for treatment. Which would work? Which would simply drain her wallet? And which might leave her in worse shape than when she began? As she struggled to answer these questions, she realized that she had plenty of company. In the United States, the cost of treating back pain exceeds $100 billion a year, and much of that money is wasted on ineffective tactics. What started as her straightforward effort to resolve an annoying problem turned into six years of investigative reporting and writing. The book, “Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery,” is the culmination of her odyssey. Her goal with Crooked is to set the back pain industry’s offerings in their proper context so that patients have the information they need to make good decisions; to know what works sometimes, what works rarely, and what can cause harm. She engages in a lively conversation with Dr. Ricky Fishman, a chiropractor, a profession that receives quite a bit of scorn (along with many others) in Ms. Ramin’s excellent book.

If I told you that there was an enterprise that charges its customer base $100 billion annually and fails to deliver what it says it’s selling, you’d wonder how it could exist. If I then told you that the same enterprise causes irreparable physical damage to its clients, makes false promises, bends government policy to its will or sometimes breaks the law altogether, and gets people hooked on mind-altering drugs, you’d probably demand an immediate investigation and lengthy prison sentences for those involved. But according to a new book by Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, that’s exactly what’s going on in the back pain industry. Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery is a landmark expose of the snake oil salesmen, charlatans, and other shady characters who have been promising relief, but making the problem worse for decades. An investigative journalist by trade, Cathryn’s exploration into the dark and bloody history of back pain treatment was motivated by her own lifelong suffering. The research she presents is as jaw-dropping as some of the stories she tells from inside the industry, from sham procedures, to downright greasy business practices, to lives ruined by poor practices and practitioners. But don’t lose heart: the second half of her book also details a variety of therapeutic approaches that are proven to work. Whether you’ve just thrown your back out or have dealt with chronic back pain for years, this is an episode that might just change your life.
