Ross Murphree, President of Old Tyme Grocery Group, joins us today to discuss his family-owned restaurants, which include Old Tyme Grocery, Sandra's Café and Health Food Store, and BJ's in Broussard. The patriarch behind this conglomerate of eateries is Ross's father, Glenn Murphree, who originally purchased Olde Tyme Grocery in 1982. It has become one of Lafayette's most iconic spots known for its classic poor boy sandwiches made on fresh Langlinais Bakery bread every day. Old Tyme Grocery has been recognized for its excellence by national publications, being voted #1 Budget Dining in the Nation on Trip Advisor Travelors' Choice Awards and ranked #2 in USA Today's Best Po'Boys in Louisiana. Old Tyme Grocery's Glenn Murphree in the early days. Ross recounted the story of Glenn's foray into the poor boy business. A native of Chalmette, Glenn attended USL in the late 1970's, and enjoyed his time in college, driving a Budweiser truck for Schilling Distributing and managing the Keg. In May of 1982, Glenn bought a little grocery store at 218 W. St. Mary Blvd. near USL's campus, named Old Tyme Grocery. At that time, it had aisles of groceries and a small delicatessan space, which was frequented by the neighbors on small grocery runs. Short on cash, Glenn borrowed $8,000 from his dad and $8,000 from the bank, and he was on his way. Interestingly, Glenn had little to no experience in the food business at the time, having worked for only two weeks at a poor boy shop while in high school and swearing he would never do it again! Now, 42 years later, things seemed to have worked out for this highly successful endeavor. Old Tyme Grocery's menu is simple and hasn't changed much in the past 42 years. Sixty per cent of its sales revolve around the highly popular shrimp poboy. "It keeps us in business," Ross says. Besides offering deli meats and gourmet specials, Old Tyme is known for its catering, and the restaurant feeds UL's teams when they travel out of town. During UL's summer football camp, Old Tyme will prepare up to 1500 bag lunches in one day. There are different nightly specials where you can order a full-size poboy for $7.00 including tax. Monday's special is a whole meatball poboy; Tuesday is ham; Wednesday is sausage, and Thursday is turkey. If you are looking for a filling meal or great leftovers, there is no better deal. The snowball stand, located right behind Old Tyme, is open from April 1 through September 30 each year. Old Tyme Grocery operates at a high volume of sandwiches, averaging 700 on Monday through Thursday, and up to 1000 on any given Friday. During Fridays in Lent, business doubles, and up to 2000 sandwiches will be served. Ross says that they can go through 600 pounds of shrimp on Fridays in Lent, which are always Gulf white shrimp. Ross Murphree says, "Old Tyme Grocery was my dad's first child. Today, Ross serves as President, and three other Murphree children, Becca, Brad, and Greg are involved in various aspects of the business. For more information on Old Tyme Grocery's menu, visit https://www.oldetymegrocery.com/#/ BJ's in Broussard is another popular lunch spot owned by the Murphrees. In the mid-1990's, Glenn was interested in expanding Old Tyme Grocery and came across the site of BJ's. He and his wife, Cherie, only had three children and the timing seemed good. But plans changed when a fourth and then fifth child came along quickly and the decision was made to leave BJ's as is. Ross gave a big shout out to "Ms. Jenny" who was employed by BJ's several years before the Murphrees purchased the restaurant and is still there 27 years later. BJ's food is "in the Old Tyme tradition," and you can get the same poboys as you can at Old Tyme. Plus, they offer two plate lunch items daily. BJ's is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day except Sunday. Located at 107 N. Morgan Avenue, Broussard LA 70518, you can find more information about daily menu ch...

Whether you're observing Easter, Passover, or any of the springtime traditions from across the world, there's a good chance that sugar will play a part of your celebrations. On this week's show, we pay tribute to that beloved sweetener in many ways. First, we learn about Leon Godchaux, Louisiana's own titan of the sugar industry in the 19th century. His rags-to-riches story comes to life in Peter Wolf's new book, The Sugar King: Leon Godchaux, A New Orleans Legend, His Creole Slave and His Jewish Roots. Peter, who is Godchaux's great-great-grandson, tells us how this poor, illiterate Jewish immigrant built a business empire with his innovative spirit. Then, we tour the century plus old Domino Sugar Refinery in Chalmette, Louisiana – the largest and oldest facility of its type in all the Americas. Every day, the installation processes millions of pounds of raw sugar, turning it into those white crystals you find at your grocery store. Finally, we visit the Easter bunny's best friend, Elmer's Chocolate in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. If you grew up in the Gulf South, there's a good chance your Easter basket was filled with treats from Elmer's Chocolate – our state's very own heritage candy company. We tour the factory where Elmer's prized Gold Bricks, Pecan Eggs, and Heavenly Hash are made. Heavenly Hash is currently celebrating its 100th year.

512. Part 2 of our interview with Danielle Romero about her documentary, Finding Lola. Danielle lives in Nashville, Tenn., but has deep roots in Natchitoches Parish. A filmmaker, she is documenting the search for her great-grandmother, Lola Perot, who passed away before Romero was born. “She left the Natchitoches area of Louisiana in the 1930s and changed her name and race to hide her identity and attempted to pass as white in New York where I was born," Romero said. Romero said when Perot left Louisiana with her Irish husband, John Donnelly, and moved to New York, she taught her children, including Romero's grandmother, that they were French and Irish. Romero made her first visit to this area in 2021 to find family and truth. “Where did Lola's family come from? What was she hiding, and why? It was time to find Lola, and myself. I've spent months interviewing elders and cousins and I am excited to share the journey of the complexity of Louisiana heritage — both in the past and today.” This week in Louisiana history.

For Jared Serigne, returning home to Chalmette, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina was an awakening. He didn't grow up duck hunting, but newfound awareness of the vast wetlands resource outside the levees eventually lead him into it.

Modern Mimes is an American music artist trio from Fort Lauderdale, FL. The trio consists of Adi Elcida Hernandez on vocals/guitar/sampling, Ernesto Paez on the double neck guitar bass and Justin Perez on drums.. Their music can be best described as "Future Goth," a term they coined in order to explain the fusion of alternative heavy guitar riffs, powerfully haunting vocals, subconscious provoking lyrics, electronic drums, and catchy pop melodies. The band has released their cover of Sevendust's "My Ruin" to all digital outlets along with an accompanying music video."We are super excited to share this tribute to one of our favorite bands and biggest influences. Sevendust!" says the band.The band will be joining Artifas on 'The Resume Game Tour' This Summer!"MY RUIN" can be streamed/downloaded at:https://linktr.ee/modernmimes Everything is energy, a cycle. The cycle repeats until you get it right and then a new one begins. A perpetual spiral of you. As we embark on releasing our 3rd body of work, Portals, on my (Adi's) 33rd year of life on this earth, we have expanded as a band. We welcome our 3rd member, Justin Perez on the drums. The message is the same, told with new wisdom and perspective, maturation and acceptance. There was a franticness in our previous work, an urgency to forewarn of a future not yet understood. Now we all find ourselves in a state of no security for the whole world but instead of approaching it in the old patterns of franticness, there is an unshaken stillness.We aren't saints. We aren't prophets. We are simply emphatic people with an ear to the whispers of the future. When the waves of messages come, we put it into songs and let the spirits guide us. We stand for strength, grounding, magic, becoming, expansion; opening the doors to your own portals.We are Modern Mimes.

In 2006, Angie and Will Scott, COO and CEO and co-founders, started Search Influence as a technically oriented search, social, and digital marketing agency, supported with tracking and attribution, and demonstrating value across very complex systems. Challenged at the beginning to find people with the needed skills, the agency outsourced its production work and developed an intensive training cycle and “robust” documentation for new hires. Will claims that, to this day, the agency's internal-facing superpower is training and education.  For the agency's first six years, SEO required seeding web content with relevant keywords. Will says that today's content has to be more nuanced . . . that SEO is now “more about meeting the customer where they are in the buyer's journey.” The agency concentrates on three verticals: midmarket healthcare (driving patient visits to individual practitioners on up to regional medical centers and, on the practice side, generating more leads), higher education, and tourism – market segments where the strategically complex buyer's journey is characterized by “multiple systems between a customer's first interaction with the brand and actually closing the sale.” When the real estate market crashed in 2008, two years after Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans and decimated the region's small businesses, the national economy took a downturn. New Orleans was still rebuilding. Tourism was booming. Medical and – in particular, elective medical – remained strong. At a time when many companies were failing, Search Influence . . . grew. Unlike many agencies, Search Influence does not try to “do it all.” Outsourcing work that is not in its areas of concentration (SEO and paid advertising) and bringing on partners to provide services complementary to its quantitative efforts keeps the agency focused and nimble. Client websites are built by a cadre of website development partners. Early on, the agency built a process, an internal editorial team, and platforms to manage external freelancers who produced as much as 10,000 pieces of content monthly for a large direct-to-SMB digital marketing company. That creative management arm is still in place today. Angie questions whether it makes sense to try to develop “side skills” when the agency can so easily partner with “top talent.” With its practice built around content, the Search Influence developed an internal tool, UpScribed, that morphed into an external-facing platform. Through UpScribed, other marketers (including those who are not Influence clients) get direct access to the Search Influence content team. When Covid “shuttered” a lot of New Orleans's small businesses, the purposely overstaffed agency went to work for its clients . . . for free. That's taking a rare, long-range view on things. The same clients they keep afloat today will be tomorrow's even-more-dedicated customers. In this interview, Angie, who has an accounting background, talks about maintaining organizational balance. Will identifies a valuable list of free business development networks and ecosystems available to help small enterprises. They can be found on their agency's website at: searchinfluence.com or on their blog, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram. Transcript Follows: ROB: Welcome to the Marketing Agency Leadership Podcast. I'm your host, Rob Kischuk, and I'm joined today by Angie and Will Scott. They are the COO and CEO and co-founders at Search Influence based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Welcome to the podcast, Angie and Will. ANGIE: Thank you. We're excited to be here. WILL: Thanks, Rob. ROB: It's a treat to have you here. We don't always get a little tag team like this, so that is an exciting change of pace. Why don't you start us off by telling us about Search Influence and what the agency's superpower is? WILL: Search Influence, Angie and I started it together more than 15 years ago. We started rather technical. I had come out of a position where I was very focused on SEO, so that's what we started with. Over the span of time, though, what we have decided our internal-facing superpower is, is training and education. Because we started in 2006, it wasn't really easy to go out and find folks who had the skills we needed, so we did do a lot of training. And to this day, we remain robust documentation and a training cycle for all new hires. Externally, we feel like the things that we do really well are still more in the technical realm. Our name is Search Influence, so search is a big part of where we spend our time. But we've also spent a lot of time thinking about tracking and attribution and how we actually demonstrate value across very complex systems. Our top verticals in which we work are healthcare, higher ed, and tourism. And in almost every one of those cases, there are multiple systems between a customer's first interaction with the brand and actually closing the sale, in whatever way that happens. ROB: I can certainly think that through. We're talking about healthcare – what part of healthcare? Obviously, it's a journey. We're not going to the ER here. What segment of the healthcare market is representative, would you say? WILL: Our focus has historically been on the midmarket, so think a handful of practitioners up to say a regional medical center. Very much about driving patient visits, and on the practice side, more leads. ROB: This is I'm coming to an area, I'm trying to figure out where I should go, or it might have an existing doctor and it's an evolution over time of where my loyalty is going to go. There's a journey there. There's a journey in travel. All of that makes sense. I can certainly see – you talked about 2006; there was I would say a lot of science around SEO, and it has evolved into art and science, to an extent. How have you thought about evolving your team and the documentation as there has become more of – I would almost say Google and the search engines have moved more towards searcher satisfaction with what they found, which is kind of an art. WILL: Yeah, in the early days, say 2006 through probably 2012-2013, it was easier to be a little more heavy-handed, to think about content primarily as a vehicle for keywords to correlate to what people were searching for. I think in the time since then, we and any company that tries to practice SEO in a serious way have learned that the content actually has to be more about meeting the customer where they are in the buyer's journey. And that's a much more nuanced piece of content than one where you're trying to have an appropriate keyword density and blah, blah, blah, and highly targeted internal links and that kind of thing. ROB: Right on. You started in 2006; a few years in, we hit a weird economic spot and the market of search was rotating at that time as well. How did you think through and evolve through that transition to emerge healthy on the other side? Maybe it was always healthy to an extent, but I don't know. The tourism thing was probably down a little bit if you were in that market at the time. WILL: New Orleans is interesting on a lot of levels. In 2008, when everybody else was suffering from the real estate market crash, we were booming because it was two years after Katrina. Where everybody else was seeing people drop the keys off at their mortgagor and walk away, we were still in a heavy rebuilding phase. Also, with the focus on medical, particularly elective medical – that was really a heavy piece for us at that time – there wasn't much of a downturn. We actually grew through that recession. ANGIE: Right. Our largest focus, though, at that point was medical. We were – I don't know, lucky or saw something coming, I don't know. WILL: I prefer brilliant. [laughs] ANGIE: [laughs] We almost felt bad at that time, I remember. It's like when your baby is sleeping through the night and no one else's is and you don't want to say that they are. I think we would talk about if somebody asked, but we just didn't talk about it because we felt bad. It was like, “We're growing.”  ROB: And that's been an echo for this year for a lot of people. This past year, this COVID, 15-16 months now, some people – restaurant industry, they're just scrapping to get by. A few restaurants figured out how to nail takeout and delivery, and they're doing better than ever. And then some folks in the digital realm are just doing great, growing. But it's hard to talk about. WILL: Totally. Sadly, we are not among them, because we did have a bunch of revenue in tourism and attractions leading into COVID. ANGIE: But they're starting to come back as the recovery comes. WILL: Yeah. And we did this thing where because we were intentionally overstaffed – we didn't cut nearly as much as we should have if we were trying to meet revenue. So we had staff and we reached out to our customers who were paused because of budget, and we created this thing – our core values spell CHARGE. We marketed it as the “Recharged Fund.” We put our team to work for free for those clients who were effectively shuttered because of the pandemic. ROB: That's a pretty bold move, and I wonder, when you first started doing that, how long did you think it was going to be before things echoed back, and when did you start wondering again? WILL: A handful of weeks. [laughs] ANGIE: Like everyone else. WILL: I was actually out of town and Angie was responsible for shutting the office down on March 13th. I don't think at any time until many, many weeks later we thought that it was going to be more than a handful of weeks that we were out of the office. ROB: That was a rude awakening for a lot of us. “Oh wait, this basement setup I'm in? This is a lifestyle.” That's when I went back to the office and I grabbed some tables and chairs and I said, “Okay, this is going to be for real. I'm bringing home a screen, I'm bringing home anything I want to see for the next few months.” ANGIE: Right. I think everybody had that happen. We did the same thing. We plotted out a very careful schedule for everybody to be able to come one by one and meet me at the office to get any equipment or furniture or anything that they needed so that they could set up some sort of workspace once you realized this may be life. [laughs] ROB: If we rewind a little bit, we mentioned earlier that you are co-founders. Talk about the journey that let you both into a place at the same time where you're like, “Hey, let's start Search Influence and drop whatever we were doing before.” What did that jump look like? WILL: At that time, we had come from working together – we actually met at work, which is I think part of what makes it so effective for us. But what happened was we found ourselves at the beginning of 2006 still in that Katrina hangover, if you will. I had actually just exited another company, and we were looking for what we were going to do next. We had the good fortune that Angie and I don't have the same skillsets. Angie is a businessperson. She has a degree in accounting and has spent her whole career in that side of the businesses, whereas I, oddly enough, have a degree in architecture, but I've spent my whole adult career on the more creative and development side. We saw this opportunity, especially post-Katrina, that there were a lot of small businesses that were decimated. It actually wasn't too much unlike right now, except that the infrastructure didn't exist for these companies to go online as they had to after Katrina. Angie's family runs a chiropractic clinic, and we saw them as sort of a prototype. They had been located in a place called Chalmette. They were the Chalmette Chiropractic Clinic. Chalmette is a New Orleans suburb that you really don't hear enough about in the context of Katrina, but it flooded from two directions, and one of those directions came through an oil field. So it wasn't just wet; it was wet and oily. We really had to restart their business online. For a little while, the Chalmette Chiropractic Clinic was practicing out of our garage. And then, because it was 2006, we were able to build their brand rather quickly online, rebuilding them as New Orleans Chiropractic and ultimately the Maple Street Chiropractic Clinic. ANGIE: And making sure that their patients could find them. At that point in time, it wasn't just about cellphone service and so forth. People were searching online for where did they go, where did they set back up. Thankfully, Will had exited; I still had my current role, an accounting and HR role at a business, so we were able to not only have the time, because I had moved into consulting, but also have the funds and also the time to really get it going and truly focus on the business between both of us. I think we were lucky and we also had an agreement that we would only start a business that didn't require going out and finding investors or getting loans. So we were able to get it going just between the two of us and devote everything we had to it. ROB: What sort of business were you working in together when you met? WILL: That business morphed over the time that we were there. It was originally a website business, and then we moved into online Yellow Pages. You remember Yellow Pages, right? ROB: I do. I sure do. WILL: We actually put them online so that they looked like the book, which was –  ANGIE: Weird. [laughs] ROB: It reminds me a little bit – I had a friend in the agency business who exited his agency, and what they used to do was take the corporate earnings reports and he would put them on CD-ROMs and make it look just like the real thing, but on a CD-ROM and maybe a little bit interactive. He built a good business of it. So you can never underestimate what that looks like. You can see how that would lead adjacently, then, to the search side where you would have some of those technical chops of how to do that right. I can see the transition there, for sure. ANGIE: Right. WILL: It really was. I remember having a conversation with a guy who was at Yellow Pages. It was shortly after I'd exited that business and I was thinking about maybe going to work for them, and I said to him, “What's your biggest priority for these phonebooks?” He said, “Anti-scraping technology.” He turned it around and asked me the same question: “What would be your biggest priority?” I said, “Making our data as accessible to Google as humanly possible.” So clearly, I didn't get that job. ROB: Yeah, there's a little bit of a strategy delta there. But somehow those businesses managed to wander around. I knew some folks here a few years ago who were working for YP.com, which is YellowPages.com. I don't know if they're in there selling to car dealerships and TV stations or what they're doing, but those businesses remain around. There was obviously at some point a step where it made sense, Angie, for you to join full-time as well. What did it look like when you started growing the team? Who did you need to join? At some point I'm sure it came from “We're doing this, we're not taking investors, we're not taking on debt” to “Hey, this is kind of a good business. We can grow it.” ANGIE: Right. If I had to guess, looking back, I maybe spent six more months consulting within the other company. Having two of us full-time devoted to it was not necessary when you only had – we weren't even employees; we weren't even getting paid. So once we started having employees, you start to have to build all the processes, the handbook, the payroll. I was bookkeeping sitting at night for an hour, no big deal, super easy. But once we started having employees and growing that side of the business, that's really when I think it took over for me. Our first employee was actually somebody who stepped in and worked with Will really closely on what we now would look back and probably call account management, because it was strategy, and then we had – at the time we were outsourcing all of our production work. They would basically strategize with our production teams outside of the company. ROB: Got it. That's an interesting little strategy there. Different people still recommend, even at scale, having different percentages of the work go outside the firm and then have some burstable capacity outside of there. I think probably one part of your journey where you've had to make a lot of decisions is what to add and what not to add. You mentioned you're in three verticals now, but you could be in 12 or 20, and there's probably some services you've added over time and some you haven't. How have you navigated that decision of “We're going to add this line of service; we're not going to add this line of service. We're going to add this vertical; we're not going to add this vertical”? How have you navigated the temptation to do everything? WILL: I think it was about 10 years ago that I coined the phrase, “If we really want to lose money, we'll take a website client.” The thing is, there's a very different skillset there. What we do instead is we have partners that we work with to build websites at different scales for different clients if they need them. But the things that we do really, really well are much more quantitative. We also developed a practice around content, so much so that we built an internal tool that we ultimately turned into an external-facing tool that we call UpScribed. It's a platform that other marketers can use to have direct access to our content team. We had a period in time where we were the backend for a company that has been acquired – and they may still have the same name – Yodel, who was one of the big direct to SMB digital marketing companies probably between 2007 and 2013-2014. We were doing as much as 10,000 pieces of content a month for them. ROB: Wow. WILL: As you can imagine, we didn't employ the writers and editorial staff to do all of that, so we built a process where we had an internal editorial team and platforms to manage external freelancers for the actual creative of that. ANGIE: That we will use today. WILL: Yeah, that we still use today. And UpScribed has clients using it external to Search Influence as well. ANGIE: Because it turns out that is an agency problem. [laughs] Which is probably not a surprise to anyone. I think right now – it's funny; I was actually chuckling inside my head that you maybe were a fly on the wall in the last few weeks, because we've been discussing literally writing out the services that we are going to spend all of our focus and time on. We do quarterly planning, we do annual planning. These are the services that we should be planning around, and that's SEO and paid search. Sorry, SEO and paid advertising. I have to get my words right. Then those other services that we do still offer, like website builds and PR and so forth, we would find really good partners if we don't already have them. A lot of it we already have a great partner for. And to your point of what things we outsource, we outsource and partner with different people who are really good at that stuff. There's people out there who are very good at video production. Why would we build that? That would be silly, because there's some really great video production companies out there that we can use, and use their strengths. WILL: And it turns out that somewhere in the last decade, people have forgotten how to do SEO. I think as everybody's gotten on the whole inbound content marketing bandwagon, we've forgotten the basic blocking and tackling of SEO. Oftentimes, we'll come across a site that has great content that's completely inaccessible to search. I think of myself as having grown up in SEO because back in 1999, we were using GoTo.com to try to figure out what keywords we were going to stuff into the metatags. So really, for us, when we think of the things that we've trained our team on historically and where we feel like we're adding a lot of value, it's in those places that are technical and quantitative and ultimately that we're able to demonstrate very good return on those investments because of that tactical focus. ROB: Has there ever been a service area that helped teach you some of these lessons? Like you dabbled in it and you realized – maybe it was websites, maybe there was something else. Sometimes our eyes get a little bit big for our appetites and we say, “Oh sure, let's do that too,” and then we get our hand smacked one way or another. ANGIE: I think maybe it wasn't services and it was more so certain clients, probably, that led us down “Yeah, we can figure out cross-domain tracking for this and that,” and then you get into it and you're like, whoa, this was a much bigger thing than we thought it was. But then you're there and you've got to figure it out. So I think it was probably more the client side that drove us down some of these more technical areas. ROB: That makes sense. If we broaden that a little bit, what are some bigger picture lessons you've learned along the way that if you were picking up the phone to yourself 15 years ago, you'd be like, “Hey, you're going to want to do this. Don't do that. Do this differently”? WILL: This is one of those things – and I think time and maturity allow you to really look at these things in the right way. Almost all of those lessons helped us to better understand the kind of company that we want to be. A great example is we spent about five years with a single reseller representing way too much of our business. The kind of work that they needed was much more fulfillment, much more high throughput work, and it was not as satisfying for our team to execute on. It didn't make for the greatest work environment for some of our team for a while. And then after all that, they decided to take that business in-house, which meant that they were taking a really big chunk of our revenue with them. I think that was a really good lesson learned. When you find yourself with too much concentration in one customer, you've really got to get busy making sure that you're doing the business development work that makes them not so monolithic. I think anybody who's ever worked with customers knows, when a customer comes to you and says, “Hey, I want to give you five times as much money,” you don't say, “Hey, sorry, we can't take that because that would screw up our customer concentration.” ANGIE: Right, because a lot of people do talk about that. They say, “Don't let a single customer get to X percentage of your revenue.” It's like, don't let them? So, say no? Who's going to do that? No one's going to do that. So really, the answer is not that. It's when they offer that, you go and you find more of that in other clients. ROB: Notoriously – I'm here in Atlanta, and one of the bigger agencies here for a good while has been Moxie, and they're owned in a holding company now. But when they were acquired, at least if the street reports are to be believed, they had 200 or 300 people and 70% of their business was Verizon. Every time a new iPhone launched, they had to do all the in-store collateral, just fire drill. Are you going to say no to that? You've got 150 people you can put on the payroll to serve this client. You figure out how to grow out of it. I think what is often the case with some of these reseller, these channel relationships, these subcontract relationships, is sometimes they're selling a deal that you haven't quite figured out how to sell yet. Was that your experience? Or did their business look a lot like business you were bringing in yourself? WILL: It actually didn't look like the business we were bringing in ourselves. In fact, we found ourselves with two account management teams, one that was serving our direct clients and one that was serving this reseller. And there were a couple of other smaller resellers as well, and their lived experience day to day was very different, and their understanding of the work that we did also was very different. So it was hard to move somebody from that partner account management team to the direct account management team or vice versa and have them be Day 1 ready. ANGIE: The reseller was selling packages because you could sell them – you didn't have to understand everything. If you have a large sales team, it is much easier to hand them a package that says, “This is what you're getting on this month in Month 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,” whatever it is. It was the same work over and over, whereas our direct clients were much more about the marketing funnel and creativity and so forth. ROB: So even some of those clients may have been – would it be fair to say they were a little bit smaller where the direct engagement might not make sense? Was there a delta in deal size, or was it just a matter of the relationship? WILL: I think generally speaking, those that were coming in through our reseller partners were smaller than we would've approached directly. ANGIE: Yes. WILL: They were much more true SMB. The other thing that we talk about as an opportunity and that we try to tell new business owners about when we encounter them is that we didn't know how many services were available for small businesses when we started this up. Things like SBA's Small Business Development Center and all of the different networks and ecosystems. We literally had a meeting with one of those organizations, the local big entrepreneur ecosystem entity, and we sat down with them and we were like, “Hey, you guys are doing great things here. We'd love to get engaged. How can you help us out?” As we were talking to them, they started asking us questions like, “How many people do you have? How much revenue do you have?” At the end of the conversation, they were like, “You seem like the kind of people who could really help us out.” ROB: [laughs] Wow. WILL: Yeah. Not the plan. But I think there are so many of those services available that smaller entrepreneurs who are coming up in that classic startup ecosystem don't really have a sense of. ROB: What are a couple more of those that you would say someone should at least take a look at and not miss out on? Maybe New Orleans driven, maybe more national in scope. What should people pay attention to? ANGIE: Later on – probably much later on, I went through the 10,000 Small Businesses program, I guess you would call it. It's put on by Goldman Sachs, and I would say that's a really good one. And it is everywhere. They're all over the place. They do a really great job of walking through – you don't have to go there with questions. They assume you don't know anything and you're going to learn it in the classes. So that's a really good one. WILL: I was going to say we have a number of purpose-driven organizations that I think are opportunities as well. There's one called the Good Work Network that tends to work mostly with smaller businesses primarily in marginalized areas, and I'm sure that there are sort of sisters around the country. There's one called Vet Launch, which is focused specifically on veteran entrepreneurs. I would say that there are going to be dozens of these, and if you can find one that you can plug in consistent with their affinity, the resources are going to be invaluable. ROB: That's a great thought, to think about plugging into the affinity. It creates that extra link. Sometimes it's hard to ask for help, it's hard to ask for mentors, it's hard to ask for advice. Sometimes that linkage can be a relationship you incubate over time, but it sounds like a great shortcut you're talking about there, about navigating through a shared interest. That's a really great thought there. Angie, Will, I'm sure when people want to find Search Influence, I'm sure they can search for you and find you pretty quickly. But if people want to connect to you, how else should they go about finding you, connecting with you, and keeping track of what's next for Search Influence? WILL: Our website, searchinfluence.com, and our blog are really great places to start. We are pretty active as a company on Facebook and LinkedIn, and Instagram as well. Those are all great places to connect with us. ROB: It's not to be missed. LinkedIn in some ways seems to continue in effectiveness, even though – you probably have this worse than I do – the random connections. I don't know how you handle them. I get a lot more than I'd like to get, I'll put it that way. WILL: What's funny is that I've been getting a lot of them – a lot of my random connections lately have actually been somewhat relevant. So if I do choose to connect with folks, I'll say, “Hey, I connected with you because I'm interested in this thing that's in your bio. I'm not a buyer today, but I wanted to have you in my list of connections.” ROB: Nice. WILL: Especially when you're working B2B. When we're approaching folks who work in higher ed or who work in hospitals and health systems, they're on LinkedIn and they're paying attention. So from a cold outreach to start a conversation perspective, I find LinkedIn to be the most effective. ROB: Makes so much sense. Angie, Will, congratulations on building, growing, sustaining a meaningful business through making it through some challenging times and some good ones. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It's really helpful. I think it's motivating, and there's great little tips all along the way to learn from. Thank you so much for sharing. ANGIE: Yes, thank you for having us. WILL: Yeah, Rob, thanks for having us on. I was glad to be introduced to your podcast because in prepping for this, I came across a number of episodes that I thought were really useful. ROB: Well, thank you. We all need to get outside our head sometimes, and that's part of it as well. Thanks for coming on. Be well. ANGIE: Thank you. ROB: Bye. Thank you for listening.

The woman who used Gorilla Glue to replace her hairspray is seeking medical treatment for her hair. A month after using Gorilla Glue to replace her hairspray, Tessica Brown is seeking medical treatment at the hospital. On Saturday (Feb. 6), the TikToker admitted herself to the emergency room at St. Bernard Parish Hospital in Chalmette, Louisiana. In a pair of Instagram posts, Brown documents her trip to the hospital to see how she can safely remove the Gorilla Glue from her hair. After she left, Brown returned home to use the items she received from the hospital. She then took to TikTok to give her fans a brief look at how her recovery process is going. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

All of us are looking for happiness. Some of us believe we'll achieve it when we get something - like a new job. Partly, it's human nature to think like this. It gives us hope. But it's also a kind of jealousy. To some extent we all want what we haven't got. For example, have you ever noticed when you meet someone new and find out what they do, you find yourself thinking their job seems way more exciting than whatever you do? And probably pays more too. Universally, the very pinnacle of this job-envy, is showbiz. The music business and the film business appear to be far more glamorous than anything else any of us do for a living. Sure, not everybody can be a rock star or a movie star, but it seems - from the outside at least - that going to work making movies, records, or concerts has got to be a great way to make a living. On this edition of Out to Lunch we get a chance to find out what it's really like in the enviable and glamorous world of movies and music. Both of Peter's guests are people who are instrumental in creating the local film and music business. Music Tavia Osbey might not be a familiar name to you. But the musical artists she manages are. Tavia guides the careers of Tank and the Bangas, Big Freedia, Sweet Crude, Naughty Professor, and others. Tavia is co-founder and owner of the local music management company, Mid Citizen Entertainment.   Movie Jason Waggenspack is probably another name you don't recognize, unless you stick around for the final credits of movies like Terminator Genisys, The True Don Quixote, Bill & Ted Face The Music, When The Bough Breaks, and many more over the past 13 years or so. Jason's job title is one of the greatest examples you can find of job-envy. He's CEO & Head of Possibilities at The Ranch Film Studios. The Ranch is the 2nd biggest film studio in Louisiana, on a 22-acre complex that started out life in a less glamorous role, as a Lowes, in Chalmette. Making music and making movies have their own challenges. Life in the trenches of the film business and the music industry is no picnic. But there are people like Tavia and Jason who seem to be born to work in these businesses, who thrive in the unique highs and lows of these industries, and who wouldn't be happy doing anything else. Photos from this show by Jill Lafleur are at our website. Here's more lunchtime conversation about New Orleans film business.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Randazzo’s Camellia City Bakery   Since 1965, the Randazzo family name has been closely tied to New Orleans’ king cake tradition.  It all began back in 1952 when the Randazzo family owned and operated a bar and restaurant in St. Bernard Parish known as the Camellia Club. In 1965, the Randazzo brothers, Manuel Sr., Lawrence and Tony turned what had been the Camellia Club’s dance hall into the Hi-Lan Bakery, home of the original Randazzo king cake. In 1971 the Hi-Lan Bakery moved to Chalmette, where Manny, Sr. eventually taught his son in law, Lou Zornes all the family secrets, including that the more you handle the dough the more tender and flavorful it gets!  When Manny retired in 1996, closing the bakery in Chalmette, his daughter, Tricia and son-in-law protégé, Lou decided to open their own bakery in Slidell where they continue the family tradition today.

Cobie Rutherford: I don't know why I do that. John Long: I don't know. It's just the way I was brought up, I guess. Cobie Rutherford: Maybe so. John Long: My folks were probably more superstitious, I guess. Well, we've got two special guests with us today, and Cobie, I'm going to let you introduce who we have with us. Cobie Rutherford: So this morning we have Dr. Brandi Karisch and Dr. Josh Maples with us, and we'll let them tell a little bit about themselves. Brandi Karisch: I'm Brandi Karisch. I am the state beef cattle extension specialist here at Mississippi State and I'm excited to be joining you all today. John Long: We're happy to have you. Josh Maples: And I'm Josh Maples. I'm a livestock economist and just commodity economist here at Mississippi State. And thanks for having me on the program this morning. John Long: Absolutely, glad to have you. Now, let me ask you all, do you all have any superstitions? Brandi, do you have any? Brandi Karisch: Oh, I'm sure there's lots of little quirks, but none of them directly related to Friday the 13th. You can't walk under a ladder. That's bad luck. John Long: Right, that's bad luck for sure. I never do that. I just don't think it's a smart thing to do in the first place, especially if somebody's on it. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. John Long: Josh, how about you? Do you got any superstitions? Josh Maples: Yeah, most of mine are sports related. So if my team is doing really bad and then I walk away and they start doing really good, I don't watch them. John Long: Really? Okay. Josh Maples: And so I think it's all in whether I'm watching or not is what's causing them to do better. John Long: Exactly. Exactly. Brandi Karisch: We have the same thing in our house, but sometimes you have to go change shirts also. Josh Maples: Yeah, that's true. Brandi Karisch: If your team is losing and you change shirts. Josh Maples: 2014, Daks, I guess, junior year when we were so good, I wore the same shirt for every single game. Brandi Karisch: Did you really? Josh Maples: And it worked out until the very end, you know, but ... John Long: Of course. Yeah. Well go ahead. Cobie Rutherford: Josh and Brandi. I used to work real close with them when I was over in the animal dairy science department, and they're actually thinking about starting their own podcast about the beef cattle industry. John Long: Well, don't let us run you off from doing one. Okay. Because we have a lot of fun with it. We really do enjoy it. So I encourage you, if you're interested in doing one, please let us, Hey, let us be special guests. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. Maybe this will be a launch board for them. John Long: That's right. That's right. I don't know what we're going to talk about. Brandi Karisch: We don't even have a name yet, so we're very starting stages here, so. John Long: I think you'll find it informative. But yeah. For your, what, clientele, I guess. Go ahead. Cobie Rutherford: So, Brandi grew up in 4-H in Louisiana, is that right? Brandi Karisch: That's correct. John Long: What Parish? Brandi Karisch: Ascension parish. John Long: Where is that located? Brandi Karisch: So, we're halfway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans on the ... I'm actually on the west side of the river in Ascension Parish. So the Mississippi river splits Ascension Parish, and my little hometown of Donaldsonville is the only one on the West bank. John Long: Oh, cool. We just got back from New Orleans and went to Chalmette. Brandi Karisch: Okay. John Long: Yeah, it was really cool. Brandi Karisch: I hope you ate good while you're there. John Long: Oh dude, we can do a whole episode on that. Cobie Rutherford: We talk about food a lot on this, sad to say. John Long: Yes, we do. Yeah. Especially when we got back from New Orleans, that's all we talked about. Cobie Rutherford: For about two weeks. John Long: Yeah, that's right. Cobie Rutherford: And Josh grew up in FFA program in Alabama. John Long: Okay. So tell me where, where in Alabama? Josh Maples: So, Limestone County, Alabama, not too far from where Cobie's from and yes, I grew up mostly in FFA. It was just a little bit bigger in the County that I was in, but did participate in 4-H as a younger high school student, middle school students. John Long: Now what did you do in 4-H? Josh Maples: So, in 4-H it was mostly just the middle school type stuff. So I didn't show or anything like that. But just kind of the leadership training at early stages. John Long: Yeah. That's cool. That's cool. I was not. I was never in 4-H until I came here, and I have no idea how I got here. Cobie Rutherford: And now John is a shooting sports guru. John Long: Yeah, well. 4-H SAFETY, not shooting. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, that's right. I always forget that. John Long: How dare you say that? Cobie Rutherford: I know. That's right. Well, we've got a lot of things going on in 4-H right now, and I know Brandi's got a lot coming up with the state fair activities and with youth livestock shows at the fair. Brandi, tell us a little bit about why you think that those type of activities are important to 4-H-ers, like showing cattle, and showmanship, and anything kind of involved with that. Brandi Karisch: Cobie, I'm a pretty proud product of the livestock program, the 4-H livestock program. You know, I tell people I do beef cattle for fun, and I do beef cattle for a living, and I grew up doing beef cattle. So I guess that's about all I know how to do. So I really hope nothing happens to take that away from me. But you know, not only are we growing cattle with these programs, we're growing kids, and I think that's something that's so important. Those kids that we see grow up through the livestock program. Not only is there research that shows that those kids that go out and play in the dirt have stronger immune systems and stay healthier, but those kids are the ones that are growing up to be leaders when they go on later in life, when they go into college and when they get into careers. And you know, we hear constantly from companies all over the place that they look for those type of experiences that prove those kids know how to work. Brandi Karisch: They wake up every morning and those cattle get fed or those livestock projects get fed before they do. They get brought in before daylight, before they get ready to go to school most days. And then when they get off the bus in the evenings, it's straight to the barn to take care of those animals and do those things. And then on top of that, learning that hard work, you get to go out and have fun and meet lots of friends that you might not be connected to because they might not live close by. Brandi Karisch: I have friends all across the country that I talk to on a regular basis that I grew up showing cattle with, and that I'm good friends with because of that program. So it's something that I can't speak highly of enough. John Long: Right. It's, it's so much, and we always say this too, but it just seems like what you're saying is that 4-H expands. It's not just about showing livestock, it's about developing that young person, and you can't emphasize that enough. And I think a lot of people miss that based on just the competitive side of it. And that's sad because you understand that we're making leaders for tomorrow and some people would just miss that. Cobie Rutherford: Another thing is whether it's showing cattle or competing in safety events or even athletics. John Long: Yes. Cobie Rutherford: The underlying goal of that is to make better people. John Long: Right. Brandi Karisch: When I was growing up, Louisiana 4-H has a program that when I was growing up, it was called 4-H for a course. And I'm not entirely ... It's called something different now, I think it's called 4-HU is what they call it. And one of the projects that I did every year was a soybean illustrated talk. I know nothing about- John Long: Sounds fantastic. Brandi Karisch: I know nothing about soybeans, but I'm competitive enough that by God I worked really hard, and I got up there and I did my soybean illustrated talk, and I got my medal, and I was really excited about that. Just goes to show you can expand your horizons doing things beyond your area of expertise in 4-H. John Long: And it's amazing the catalog of things that we have available for youth too. I think that's just awesome. Cobie Rutherford: Josh, I think you got roped in to helping with a 4-H contest this year at Club Congress, didn't you? The consumer judging? Did you help with that? Josh Maples: The consumer judge, that's right. That was our first time. I didn't even know that a contest existed. I should have, but after I started helping out with it a little bit this year, it was really cool. It helped, or I guess it kind of trained students or help students learn how to make decisions. It really wasn't Ag. related. It was a, it was more of just making choices and economic thinking. And I really enjoyed it and I thought it was great for the students and they were very active and involved. And yeah, I had a great experience with it. Cobie Rutherford: That's actually one of our largest contests at that we do all year, believe it or not. Josh Maples: I can believe it. There were a lot of students, it was impressive. Cobie Rutherford: And it's got kind of a wide range appeal that appeals to all 4-H-ers. Everyone's going to shop for groceries or consumer type products, clothing, and it's just got a big appeal to it. John Long: Are you okay? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. I just banged my knee, did you hear that? Brandi Karisch: We heard that. John Long: I think I heard the bone break over here. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, we were talking about that earlier, how these mics pick up everything though. Jammed my knee. John Long: Cobie's the one making all the racket. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. John Long: Come on. Set the example. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. But I think that's a coll contest for sure. Josh Maples: Yeah. And I think, and Brandi kind of pointed to it earlier, but that's one of the best things about 4-H is just the breadth of things that you can do. And it's great for students to do stuff that they're not used to. Kind of like the soybean thing Brandi mentioned and this consumer judge. It may not be anything that anybody had ever thought about, but even if you're mostly have done cattle, you're raised on a cattle farm, being able to have the chance to step out and do some of this other stuff. It helps you going forward. You're going to be exposed to all these things in the future, and the earlier you can get exposed the better off you're going to be. John Long: You know, and a lot of people ... I'm sorry Brandi, were you going to say something? Brandi Karisch: Oh, I was going to say, we definitely see the difference in those kids when they get to college and they get involved in classes. And one of the things that most kids dread when they get to college is having to do that presentation up in front of a group. John Long: That was the worst. Brandi Karisch: And you can tell those kids that were involved in programs like 4-H not only did they have that experience getting to compete, but they're used to talking to people, and they're comfortable talking in front of people. Very respectful. Very respectful I think is probably the biggest thing that I take away from that. And you can really see the difference in those kids when they get up in front of a college classroom. Josh Maples: Yeah, I agree with that. And I would add to it that also, just dealing with challenges, you can sit in class, you might give students an assignment they've never seen anything like before, and it puts them out of their comfort zone a little bit. The students who have participated in 4-H and have some of these leadership skills from an early age, you can just, they just take it in stride. It's a lot easier for them to adjust. And it's not just a ... They're not just in a textbook minded, or textbook mindset. They can handle things that don't necessarily fit on a piece of paper. John Long: That's right. And I'll go back to kind of tag off what Brandi said too, is that I often had people ask me, "What should my child be involved in," or "which one would you think?" I'd say "Well, number one, ask the child what they would like to do" and then, "Try it." It's not, it's not set in stone that you have to do one thing. You tried, and that's the reason we have so many programs because it's about the hook that we use to get the child to be developed. And it's also a good point, a part or point to say that another thing is, is they're exposed to an activity with a caring adult, which they have as a mentor, I guess you could say. And I like that part too. I think it's important. Whether it be an agent or a volunteer. Cobie Rutherford: That's exactly right. I mean, I think our agents are super special to our 4-H-ers, but the volunteers that they have a chance to interact with are usually leaders in the community, people that they can certainly look up to from a career readiness standpoint. There's a lot of good things going on there. Brandi Karisch: Yeah. My husband and I both grew up in the 4-H livestock program, and that's something that we always try to do is volunteer to help give back. Not everybody grew up around livestock. Not everybody knows everything, but there's kids that really get excited about it and they want to get involved, and those are the kids that we really want to help. Be it, we've put on some showmanship clinics, or helped with the Cattleman's Association has put on where we go through everything about how to feed your animal, showmanship, how to train them to get ready for the show. And watching those kids as you go through and seeing that light bulb moment where, let's face it, I've got a four year old and an eight month old. Well, I guess he's nine months old now. John Long: Oh God bless you. Brandi Karisch: Gosh, he's nine months old earlier this week. John Long: Are you all sleeping through the night? Brandi Karisch: We sleep sometimes. John Long: Okay, yeah. Brandi Karisch: We sleep sometimes. John Long: That's what I figured. Brandi Karisch: But more often than not it's easier for them, especially the four-year-old, to listen to somebody other than mom or dad. So having those good leaders and those good volunteers that will be good role models for those kids growing up I think is invaluable. John Long: Yep, absolutely. Absolutely. One of the things, talking about kids, I tell mine, "Look, if you want to do livestock, that's fine, but you're going to have to find somebody else to teach you because I know nothing other than they make good hamburgers." That's it. Oh, when we get a good glass of milk. But that's pretty much it. But I'm willing to learn. I'll tell you that. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. You know, when I think about where I want Reason to be with 4-H, I sure hope he picks up the livestock skills. John Long: What are you going to do if he doesn't? Cobie Rutherford: I'll be okay with it, I guess. We'll just put him, make him go to the barn and do chores. John Long: I see the concern in your- Cobie Rutherford: I think that when he starts out with 4-H, which is six or seven years from now, I mean he's still two and a half, but I think that I'm going to have the same approach my parents did that if he wants to have a livestock project he can, but he's also going to have to do other things as well. He can't just show livestock. So my parents made me do everything from ... I say made. They did make me start off with like cookie cook-off and public speaking- John Long: Here we go, here's the food. Cobie Rutherford: ... and all that stuff. I got a big view approach to 4-H early on because they made me, but I was thankful for that. For sure. Josh Maples: Cobie, my first 4-H event was a cake baking contest. I remember that. I can't remember which grade I was in, but ... Cobie Rutherford: I think that was a big thing in Alabama. Josh Maples: It was. Cobie Rutherford: That's how they got you hooked into 4-H. Food. The teacher's wanted to eat, so they made their fifth graders bake something. Josh Maples: Everybody bring in cake today we'll ... Brandi Karisch: That's some very brave teachers to volunteer to eat cakes made by a whole class full of fifth graders. John Long: Oh yeah. Yes. I think we've got some pretty interesting stories on cook-offs don't we? Cobie Rutherford: Oh yeah. I'm sure. John Long: Yeah. But keep on trying. Get better. That's what we do. So. Cobie Rutherford: Brandi, Texas, one of their largest events now ... I mention Texas because that's where her husband's from, the kind of backstory on where Brandi went to school. But they've got a great American food challenge that they say is going to be their largest event for 4-H-ers soon. Brandi Karisch: Yeah. I mean, that's something that ties in I think so well to what they see. Food Network, all those cooking shows and everything like that. People eat those things up. John Long: They do. Brandi Karisch: They're not like me. I could sit there and watch home improvement shows and fantasize about how I want to remodel my house. But cooking shows, you just sit there and are hungry all day long. And I think that's something that's really important, especially when you tie in the nutrition aspect to it as well. So not only are they learning how to make things with those ingredients, they're learning how to make healthy dishes with those ingredients that they can take back home. And I think that's something that's really exciting to a lot of kids that might not necessarily have thought 4-H was for them. John Long: Right. For sure. Cobie Rutherford: You know, in Mississippi right now, only 6% of our 4-H-ers claim to live on farms or ranches. And to me in my programmatic approach to that I think, well we need to offer programs that those kids are interested in. But it's also very important for us to offer programs to the 94% to teach them about what's going on the farm’s ranches. So if we can tie a project area like food that they're interested in, tie back to agriculture, some somebody would say, "Hey, this is where that ground beef came from. This is the story behind that steer that produced that ground beef." I think that's going to be our ticket here in Mississippi. John Long: For sure. Cobie Rutherford: Whether it's with agriculture or with natural resources or whatever. It's an important part of all of our lives. John Long: So what have y'all got coming up? Y'all got anything throughout the year that y'all... basically programs and things like that. Have you've got anything coming up Brandi? Brandi Karisch: So we've got a fun program coming up that's called Beef 101. It actually started as I had a cattle producer that came up to me one day and said, "I know everything that I can know about how to process a deer in the field, but I know nothing about how to process this beef animal that I raise. How does he get from that animal that leaves my farm to that steak that ends up on somebody's table." So on November 2nd, and we're actually opening up our brand new meat and muscle biology laboratory here on campus, and we're going to invite producers in, and we're going to go through that process. Brandi Karisch: So we're going to take everything and walk through that facility and show producers. We're not going to have any live animals that we're going to harvest, but we're going to have them break down a carcass, so they get to play butcher for the day. John Long: Wow. Brandi Karisch: I don't think we don't have any meat for them to take home, but we're going to have a pretty cool branded knife that they can take home. So this is actually the second time that we've done that program and the feedback that we've gotten from it has been something that's been really good. So we're looking forward to having that program again. John Long: That sounds awesome. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, it does. Josh Maples: So we're, the fall after a farm bill comes out as a busy time. We're doing our farm bill rollout signup period starts. So producers are having to make decisions about how to enroll their acres and their crops into the new farm bill. And so that's a big thing. We're hitting most of the state over the next three months. John Long: Wow. Josh Maples: Yeah. It doesn't happen all the time. Every five years you can expect a fall to be pretty full, and so that just happens to be this fall. John Long: Sounds like you got to cover the state. That's going to be busy. Josh Maples: It probably will be. John Long: A lot of miles. Josh Maples: Not as many changes this time as last time. So it won't be as bad, hopefully. John Long: Yeah. We'll keep our fingers crossed. Brandi Karisch: Sounds like we've got a good topic to cover for our first podcast. John Long: Oh, yeah. Brandi Karisch: How to make the farm bill work for you? Josh Maples: Yeah, yeah. John Long: That's awesome. Well if they want to find more information about 4-H and 4-H in their area, adults and youth, Cobie where can we go to, can they get that information from? Cobie Rutherford: So the first place that you should go to find out information about 4-H or any of our extension related programs is our website, which is extension.msstate.edu Or you can contact any of our county offices, and we have a County office located in every single county in the state of Mississippi, and find out information from your county agent. John Long: The one thing I love about our website is the fact that if you don't know who's in your county, they have a dropdown menu and you can click on say if it was Oktibbeha County, it shows all of the staff, and it has all the contact information. And it's on the right side of that page. So that's always a helpful way. I think I use that more than anything. But y'all Brandi, Josh, we thank you so much for joining us today, and we wish you the best and all that y'all are doing. Thank you for what you do and keep up the good work. We'd love to have you come back, and good luck on your own podcast. Brandi Karisch: Thanks for letting us crash your party today. John Long: Oh, not crashing just amped it up. Josh Maples: No doubt. John Long: Yeah. I asked when they walked into the office a while ago and I said, Oh, they had donuts. I said, "When did the party start?" They said, "As soon as you walked in the door." Well, thank y'all so much for listening. If you would, if you're out there listening to us, please subscribe to our podcast and join us. Every Wednesday is when our podcast drops.

Transcript: Announcer: This is 4-H-4-U-2. A podcast from the Mississippi State University Extension Service promoting 4-H programs and positive youth development. Here now, your host, Dr. John Long and Cobie Rutherford. Dr. John Long: Welcome to another edition of 4-H-4-U-2. I'm John Long. Cobie Rutherford: And I'm Cobie Rutherford. Dr. John Long: Cobie it is... I know we always seem like we start out talking about weather, but it is fantastic out there for a August day. Cobie Rutherford: It sure is John. That breeze feels mighty nice. Dr. John Long: Mm mm. Good things to come, good things to come for sure. Oh me, well we've been, again, busy and you and I've been traveling a little bit, but what did you do this past weekend? You have anything special. Cobie Rutherford: This past weekend I actually went down to Raymond for the South Mississippi Volunteer Leaders Association Forum, on Saturday. That was a good deal. Tammy Parker, shout out to her, she put on a great conference for the South Volunteers and Extension agents. Well attended. Great workshops. I guess we can spend a whole episode one of these days on the workshops we went over. Dr. John Long: Yeah, we need to get Tammy in here, I think that's a good idea. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. And I'll tell you someone else we need in here is Erika McDaniel from Chickasaw County, she has started a 4-H dog club in her county, and it's fantastic. It could be a state wide program so easily. Dr. John Long: So what exactly do they do in that? Do you know? Cobie Rutherford: Well they kind of have all the- Dr. John Long: Or should we wait for Erika? Cobie Rutherford: Well we should probably wait for Erika, but all the things that they're doing like; teaching children how to properly handle their pets, how to feed their pets, differences in- Dr. John Long: Grooming. Cobie Rutherford: Different breeds of dogs, grooming, you name it. Dr. John Long: Mm-hmm. Cobie Rutherford: And then they're starting a little dog show, and basically it's an obedience class. So the kids take home what they learned, teach their dog, work with their dog, and basically strengthen that human animal bond. Dr. John Long: That's good. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, it's very positive. Dr. John Long: I love dogs. Those dogs are great. Cobie Rutherford: And then there was just a whole lot of other good workshops. Rocheryl Ware in Hinds County did a nice workshop about 4-H 101 that's real informative. I hate to start naming names... Dr. John Long: No, no. You may leave somebody out, but still. Cobie Rutherford: Those are the ones I was interacting with the most. And in my workshop was all about the fair, which we talked about a couple weeks ago. Dr. John Long: You didn't have anybody go to sleep in there did you? Cobie Rutherford: No, I almost did, given the presentation, but people were writing down and asking questions, so I think they liked it. Dr. John Long: Well that's good. Cobie Rutherford: Maybe. Dr. John Long: That's always good. You know, it seems like sometimes when you're presenting something it's maybe not as interesting as you think it is, and then somebody says, "I really enjoyed that." And I guess that can be the case at times I guess. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, kind of like, "Are you feeling empathy? Because that was awful." Dr. John Long: Right, "Yeah, thanks for trying to prop me up." But no, I know you did a good job. Dr. John Long: We actually, and I say we, my family and I went to a bow tournament and everybody but my wife shot so, we had a lot of fun. That's something I guess that... I shoot every day. It may not be, I don't know, whatever, but archery is one of my favorite things to do and it was really good to get to do that with my family and just to get out and, and get away. It was out of town too, so we had a little trip and that was a lot of fun. A lot of fun. Cobie Rutherford: Good. Good. Well, leading up to the weekend it was a busy week. Dr. John Long: Oh yes. Cobie Rutherford: We made some road time. Dr. John Long: Yes. And you and I left last Monday, I guess a week ago, over a week ago now, and went to New Orleans. Dr. John Long: Excuse me. Dr. John Long: And I haven't been to New Orleans in several years, it still looked the same. Cobie Rutherford: That was my first trip. I was impressed. It exceeded expectations. Dr. John Long: What was your favorite thing? Cobie Rutherford: Oh gosh, I guess it was the food. Dr. John Long: Okay. So, first of all, we have to say, we went down there for a meeting. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. It was for a conference. Dr. John Long: Cobie and I just didn't load up and say, "Hey, we're going to New Orleans." Okay? Cobie Rutherford: Right. That's right. Dr. John Long: So, just clarify that right now. Cobie Rutherford: And the conference was good. It was very good, very informative- Dr. John Long: It was. Cobie Rutherford: Made a lot of good contacts and a lot of networking. But yeah, I don't think you can go to New Orleans and not talk about all the good food. Dr. John Long: Oh the food. I tell you what, it was good. What was your favorite food that we ate? Cobie Rutherford: Oh, I guess it was that the Crawfish Etouffee. Dr. John Long: Yeah. You really liked that didn't you? Cobie Rutherford: I really did. I loaded up that night. I'm kind of a glutton I guess, I ate two bowls of it, but I hated for it to go to waste. I mean they made probably enough for a hundred. Dr. John Long: Gosh, it was a lot. I don't know what they did with it, but it was a lot. Cobie Rutherford: I don't know. But the PLN meetings were good. Dr. John Long: Yes. And that PLN stands for? Cobie Rutherford: Program Leaders Network. Dr. John Long: Southern Region. Cobie Rutherford: Southern Region. So, it kind of was all Extension administration from the ANR and FCS side, the 4-H side, lots of different committees with a whole lot of acronyms. Dr. John Long: Right. That first day...Well, the first day I really enjoyed it because they had that first-timers meeting. That was a lot of fun, just to kind of get to know... And we actually got to go out to eat with a couple of older... Well no, one was first time and then the other one was a committee member or whatever. But anyway, that was a lot of fun to do that and get to start meeting new people. And then we started meetings on that Tuesday and went all day Tuesday and Wednesday, so. Cobie Rutherford: And then part of Thursday morning, it wrapped up. Dr. John Long: Part of Thursday morning, Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: But it was nice to be able to represent Mississippi State as the 4-H leaders. Dr. John Long: Absolutely. Cobie Rutherford: Of course Dr. Threadgill was there, but she sat in on the FCS meetings- Dr. John Long: Dr Jackson. Cobie Rutherford: And Dr. Jackson was there, sitting in on the director's meetings. So, if nothing else, it was also good to get to interact with our administrators and talk to them more, in more of an informal type setting. Dr. John Long: Right, right. And I think you need that sometimes just to kind of, not put all that down, but to really be able to have open discussion about things. And out of the office setting, which was really nice. I like that. Dr. John Long: But, I tell you, one of the things that I was really interested in, and I told Dr. Jackson this when I was talking to him, is that I really enjoyed seeing what other states are doing. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. Dr. John Long: The difference. You know, of course we're all geared towards youth development, and you and I were in the 4-H youth development committee section of that and, it was really neat to see how different states are doing this. What really stuck out in your mind about that? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I think the one thing that I thought our 4-H'ers may be missing out on is a state wide camping opportunity. Which, I know there are good regional camps all around the state. I know those regions put on a very good... But I don't think, with the limited resources we have, you know, we don't have a Mississippi State 4-H camp grounds. And I think most of the states that had successful camping programs had just one 4-H camp ground, the way I understood it. Dr. John Long: Right. Cobie Rutherford: So I'm glad the regions are kind of taking that and running with that endeavor, because I think that's a very positive experience. Dr. John Long: Yeah, I think it is too. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah I went to 4-H camp when I was a 4-H er. Dr. John Long: Did you? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Dr. John Long: What did y'all do? Cobie Rutherford: Oh gosh. We did everything. Dr. John Long: Sang Kumbaya? Cobie Rutherford: Well they had some campfire type stuff, but mostly it was just workshops and meetings, and we got to canoe and swim and different things. It was fun. Dr. John Long: Throw in a little shooting sports in there on top of it? Cobie Rutherford: I don't remember doing that. Dr. John Long: You could do archery. Cobie Rutherford: You could. Maybe I went a different track, but it was a lot of fun. But in Alabama they had one in the summer that was kind of statewide and then they also had a mid-winter camp. Dr. John Long: Right. Is this tent camping? Is this what I'm thinking about? Cobie Rutherford: No. Not at all. Dr. John Long: Cabin. Cabin camping. Cobie Rutherford: Cabin. Dorms. Dr. John Long: Oh yeah. Okay. Cobie Rutherford: Yep. They were fun. For sure. Dr. John Long: See, I've got to get in a tent. If I'm going to say I'm camping, I got to be in at tent. Cobie Rutherford: I appreciate the outdoors but, I want modern day amenities. Dr. John Long: We went camping this year for our "Summer vacation." And it was a two day event, obviously on the weekend, but it was so funny. We tent camp, and we were on our little concrete pad... Of course, we're not roughing it completely because we got electricity and water there at the pad, but it was so funny, it was all of these hundred thousand dollar campers and then this, right in the middle of them, is our little tent. But you know what? We had a great time anyway. Cobie Rutherford: I'm sure. That's... to each their own, but that's probably not my cup of tea. I don't want to fight the bugs or, you know? But then again, I'll go out to the barn and sweat with the flies and things. But, I don't know. Dr. John Long: We picked up our tent last year when we were camping and there was a snake under it. Cobie Rutherford: Oh geez. Dr. John Long: So I figured it was attracted to our body heat, I don't know that. Cobie Rutherford: Dang, I'd have left the tent there I suppose. Dr. John Long: Well, obviously you're saying these 4-H camps, they're not geared that way. It's actually kind of like a summer camp like you would imagine, that you see on "TV". Because I've never been to a summer camp or anything like that. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, and I think most of these had dorm rooms, and air conditioned cafeterias. Dr. John Long: Have you ever been to Rock Eagle? Cobie Rutherford: Rock Eagle? I have not, no. Dr. John Long: It's beautiful. It's a beautiful place. And they've actually done more now. Rock Eagle is in Georgia, in Athens, Georgia. So big 4-H camp there. Cobie Rutherford: So, what about you? What was the part that you think that we might be missing out on? Something that just kind of stood out. Dr. John Long: You know, I really liked... Of course, I know we do have collaborations, but I was really impressed, I would really like to know more about the collaborations we have with individuals like... For instance, we went to the farm, they had a Docville Farm, in Chalmette. They had a, oh I don't know what you would say... Partnership. Let us just say a partnership with that County Club, and they've just gone above and beyond reaching out and assisting them in different projects. They had a, I wouldn't say it's a, well I guess it is kind of a reforestation of coastal wetlands and marshes that Docville Farms actually works with the 4-H clubs there in order to try to reclaim some of that coastal marshland, because it's eroding away so fast. Dr. John Long: And I thought that was really cool. I know we have partnerships like that in the state, but I'm not aware of who they are. And I that would be really cool, because those 4-H'ers get up there, we had two 4-H'ers get up there and they presented that whole presentation about how they went about putting the marsh, I'm just going to say grass because I can't remember, what was it? Cobie Rutherford: Mangrove trees. Dr. John Long: Mangrove tree. Yeah, I knew it. Okay. Mangrove trees. Kevin, my friend from Oklahoma, he thought they were saying... was that to you or was that... Cobie Rutherford: Oh that was me. Dr. John Long: That was you. Cobie Rutherford: I thought... well it may have been both of us. Dr. John Long: Mango. Mango. Cobie Rutherford: I thought, well then you can go out there and pick fruit when they're finished, but, Man Grove. Dr. John Long: I thought this is a dual purpose thing. But yeah. So mangrove trees and Cypress trees and things like that so that they got up and gave that whole presentation and, I think you'll agree with me, just knocked it out of the park. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, they did really well. Dr. John Long: And I think that's a result of those cooperatives like that. Of course, you went on a cooperative tour this year too, but I just thought it was really neat to see that on a county level. So, I wouldn't say it was something that we're missing out on, it's probably because we're in a state office we're probably not as aware of them going on. So, that would be really cool to see even more that, you know? Cobie Rutherford: You know, one thing I think that we are doing very well compared to the other states is our Statewide leadership team. Dr. John Long: Oh yes. Yes. Cobie Rutherford: You know, there wasn't a whole lot of other states that I interacted with. I mean they might have had a president or a board, but it seems like ours is more engaged with what all we're doing than some of the other ones. Dr. John Long: Yeah, that's great for sure. I loved our interaction, you know, of course we had 1862 institutions and 1890 institutions there, and that was really cool to interact and work out how we could work more together on doing 4-H youth development. And seeing how the 1890s institutions do that. I thought it was really good. It was very educational for me. Cobie Rutherford: Yep. No doubt. Cobie Rutherford: You know, I think that just getting to interact with those other state program leaders was my favorite part bar none. Just learning more about them, learning about... There's some people in that room that I would consider to be new mentors for me. Dr. John Long: Right. I would too. Cobie Rutherford: That I'd never met before, and never even heard of before. And now I feel like if I had a question about a program that's going on in North Carolina that I want to come to Mississippi. Dr. John Long: That one stuck out to me too, yeah. Cobie Rutherford: You know, I could call Mitzi Downing and she would help me out with it. I mean just name dropped her, but there were a lot of other ones that would do the same thing I think. Dr. John Long: For sure. For sure. I will not lie, in all the acronyms that first day I felt, other than the main presentations, when we got into committees I was like, "Oh my goodness, I am totally lost." But the second day I felt like I was with family, because I'd kind of figured out where we were going with it. But of course a lot of that was last years reporting and stuff that we weren't privy to at that time. So, but yeah, it was really cool going and representing 4-H and Mississippi Extension, for sure. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. You know that committee, they really embodied the four essential elements of 4-H. Dr. John Long: Yes. Cobie Rutherford: They made us feel like we belong to the group. I always felt included and... But then had that sense of independence as well. They were generous in sharing their other ideas and we got to experience how some of our colleagues, and maybe, I'm not going to speak for you, but maybe one day I'll have the chance to mastery some of those ideals and things that we're talking about. Dr. John Long: Right. Exactly. Cobie Rutherford: I don't feel anywhere close to a mastery on that. But, I feel like we were included within the masteries. Dr. John Long: Yes.Yes. We bow before their greatness. Cobie Rutherford: But I thought that was cool. Dr. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: We had a good time and, I don't know, I got a blank John, where I was going with that? Dr. John Long: Food. Cobie Rutherford: Probably food. Dr. John Long: Now we go back to food. Cobie Rutherford: I didn't get any beignets, and I was disappointed on that. Dr. John Long: Well, we ate those blue crab beignets, those were good. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, they were very good. I feel like I missed out on the sweet ones. Dr. John Long: Oh yeah, yeah again. They are. Cobie Rutherford: Then on the way home, we bought a king cake, and that king cake got ants in it. Dr. John Long: No! Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, so I got home and opened it up, there were ants all over it. Dr. John Long: Oh my goodness. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. I tried to pick them off and then I'm like, "Eh, I don't know where them ants have been." Dr. John Long: You did not throw that king cake away did you? Cobie Rutherford: Well, it was infested. Dr. John Long: Really, that bad? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. They were all over the place. Dr. John Long: Oh man, that's terrible. Cobie Rutherford: I know, I was disappointed on that. Dr. John Long: Oh we got petite fours the next day. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, they were good. So, we did that. Dr. John Long: Well, that was an interesting time. And like I said, I would go back in a heartbeat. If I was asked to go back to PLN, I would definitely do it just because I felt like, professionally, it was very good professionally to go there. Cobie Rutherford: I'll tell you the one thing I didn't like. Dr. John Long: What was that? Cobie Rutherford: All right. So when we went around the room that day and we had these chairs, our superpower- Dr. John Long: You had to bring this up. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I did. Mine was awful. And yours was not that great. Dr. John Long: It was terrible. Yours was good. I liked yours. Cobie Rutherford: But ours was not the worst. Dr. John Long: No. No- Cobie Rutherford: There were ones that were worse than that. And then there was some people that took the easy way out and just copied the person in front them. Dr. John Long: That's what I should've done. Oh, I just wish I could take mine back. Ugh. Cobie Rutherford: So I'll share my superpower. Dr. John Long: I'm not. I'm not going to share mine. Cobie Rutherford: I don't remember what it was. Dr. John Long: Good. Maybe nobody else did. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, mine was so corny, I said "I'm good with numbers and I have this ability to remember numbers from my old high school friends, or elementary school friends, and I can even remember my parents credit card number." And- Dr. John Long: Oh my god. But you got a laugh out of that though, it was good. Cobie Rutherford: I did. But then I thought, again, on the same side, they were like, "That guy is mid thirties, and he knows his parents' credit card number. That is shameful." Dr. John Long: Still. Cobie Rutherford: But I guess, shout out to my parents for keeping up with that card and all these years. Dr. John Long: That's right. That's right. Cobie Rutherford: I have to call them every once in a while when it bounces back and the expiration date change or the CVV changes. And that's kind of embarrassing, but, it's only in case of emergencies. Dr. John Long: I just don't like... I'm sorry, and this leads to what we had talked about before about introvert. I am a introvert, I do not like ice breakers. It is the hardest thing in the world for me to do, is to do that. I just want to state my name and what I do and move on, because I'm just not good at it. I don't know why, but I'm just not. Cobie Rutherford: I always try- Dr. John Long: You talk about hunting and I can do that, but- Cobie Rutherford: I always try to think of something really creative, and sometimes I'll nail it and then sometimes it comes out like, "What an idiot." Dr. John Long: Well I had stepped out of the room, and I came back into it. So I was really not, I don't know, I wasn't prepared. I wish I'd had at least another 10 minutes. I maybe should've just copied, like I said, I could've copied somebody else's, but I didn't, and wound up giving the dumbest answer I probably ever have. And, I don't know, I looked over to you and I don't if you were smiling because of my answer or were you still thinking of about yours? Cobie Rutherford: No, I was probably still thinking about mine, but anyway, I think they come out with knowing that those probably were not our true superpowers. Dr. John Long: No, I know. I know. Cobie Rutherford: But you know, you got a good shout out in for our podcast. Dr. John Long: Yeah, I did. I really did. And I think, you know, we had to give a state report so that, or I guess what did they call it? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah a state report. Dr. John Long: A state report. So, that was really cool. And I think that, when I said podcast, people kind of perked up. I don't think they're doing that. Cobie Rutherford: I don't think so either. Dr. John Long: We're all cutting edge. Cobie Rutherford: Another thing that made people perk up was the name change of shooting sports to safety. Dr. John Long: Yeah, it was. I think it was well received and, as I was explaining why, I saw a lot of people nodding their heads, so, yeah, it was really good. Cobie Rutherford: I think that was good. Dr. John Long: For sure. For sure. Well, we need to get down to... Oh, the Bulldogs are going to be in New Orleans this weekend too. Cobie Rutherford: Oh yeah? Dr. John Long: Yeah, they're going to be in a Super Dome, playing in the Super Dome. We should've just stayed down there. Maybe. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, just taken two weeks and- Dr. John Long: Gosh. I wouldn't be able to fit in the door if I stayed down there and ate all that all the time. Cobie Rutherford: I think my phone would have blown up. Dr. John Long: Probably. Cobie Rutherford: I think it would have spontaneously combusted had I been out for two weeks. Dr. John Long: Yeah, I couldn't do that. I couldn't do that. Cobie Rutherford: I had plenty of voicemails. I think I still have some people I need to reach back out to from that week of being gone. Dr. John Long: Well, if you need to get up with Cobie, just call the main office. He'll be there, and you'll get him. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. Dr. John Long: Apologize for anything we've missed during this time. Cobie Rutherford: Exactly. Maybe I haven't missed anything. Dr. John Long: Maybe not. Maybe not. You're good. You did good. You're good. Hey, you'd heard from it by now, probably. Cobie Rutherford: That's true. That's true. Dr. John Long: Oh man. Well, all right.

As a young dentist in the U.S. Army, Andrew Sanchez of Chalmette, LA, seemed to have it all. The Army had paid his way through dental school, and he was contemplating marriage to the woman he was dating. But something told the young Army officer he was meant for something more, and after a period of discernment, he left active duty and entered Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans to become a priest and an Army chaplain. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Major Sanchez, who is now in the U.S. Army Reserve and scheduled to be ordained a transitional deacon next year, shares how the Holy Spirit inspired him to forsake a potentially lucrative career in dentistry to answer God's call, and why he is now pursuing the vocation within a vocation to serve those who serve.

Although you will often hear people claim Social Security isn't an entitlement, Social Security IS an entitlement. It fits the definition of an entitlement to the letter, which has nothing to do with whether or not a beneficiary pays into the system. Raising the Social Security tax cap won't solve the funding issue. It'll only delays the crash about 6 or 7 years. 16:42 - We replay Lewis in Chalmette from Saturday, because he's talking about this exact same myth about raising the Social Security tax cap. 19:56 - John in Folsom needs Gregory's help figuring out his best option for Social Security.

02:15 - Gregory Ricks address the changing demographics in America, and how an aging population will change how we deal with retirement and investing. With fewer taxpayers per beneficiary, Social Security and Medicare are fiercely unsustainable. Raising taxes is a likely part of the solution, but reigning in benefits is going to happen.at some point, too. This will happen on a long enough timeline, and maybe it won’t happen soon enough to affect you. If it does, you will need to have money put away and income streams you can rely on… the more the better. 28:04 - Ralph in Lacombe heard that you can have your property taxes frozen in retirement, and if Gregory Ricks knows anything about that. States can have significantly differing laws regarding property taxes, but there are plenty of them who give special considerations to seniors and retirees. Refer to your tax professional to see how that affects your specific property, you may be pleasantly surprised. 29:39 - James in Poplarville asks Gregory Ricks how much income can he get off of a million dollars in assets without a spenddown? Gregory says it can safely range from 3%-4%, but if you’re looking for absolutely no risk, it’s probably more like 3%. 32:26 - Ray in Picayune asks Gregory Ricks his thoughts on a county pension system that opts out of Social Security in exchange for its own pension system. It seems like a good idea, but how will the affect their Social Security retirement benefits? 37:17 - Matthew in Metairie suggests that robots will be able to fill in some of the labor shortage to help deal with aging demographics. 41:35 - Lewis in Chalmette wonders why we don’t eliminate the earnings cap on Social Security? Gregory explains how the tax cap is met by the cap on benefits, but that is probably going to be moved drastically higher or even eliminated. 48:52 - Dwayne Stein, host of Mortgage Gumbo, joins the show and explains why mortgage interest rates have taken a couple of dips over the last few months, even as the Fed continued to lift the funds rate. Dwayne explains that the relationship between the Fed and your mortgage rates is not direct, but acts more like the price of oil vs the price of gas. 54:43 - Dwayne shares why the world of HELOCs is making him doubt the housing boom can keep going much longer without a significant stumble. It’s not the same concern as the last housing bubble which was busted up by failed subprime loans. This time around, the HELOC wave being hit with rising interest rates could be the ugly infection the housing markets do no need. 1:00:06 - Gregory Ricks and Dwayne Stein have worked on reverse mortgage situations together, and share how a recent homeowner got a lump sum from a reverse mortgage, used a little, and left the bulk of it in a line of credit that’s just sitting there gaining interest. Gregory explains that forward thinking means you get to take advantage of getting rid of the mortgage, paying off some bills, and growing the balance as it sits waiting for you as an emergency fund. 1:09:55 - Glenn in Algiers asks Gregory Ricks if he will still get the increase in benefits for delaying until age 70 if he stops working at 68? Gregory says the annual 8% increase is still in effect, even if you do not work. 1:12:58 - Gregory answers a question from a listener about selling tradelines with Dwayne Stein. Is selling access for someone to piggyback on your good credit history a good idea? Dwayne explains how tradelines could work as described, but there’s enough red flags signaling that you should steer clear. There are things you can do with the money used on the fees that could be better for your credit than tradelines. 1:22:59 - Dwayne Stein of MortgageGumbo.com answers: How bad can your credit score be and still get a mortgage? Although it’s much easier to get a loan with great credit, even the worst scores still have some options. Sure, the terms may be a little less accommodating, but Dwayne can get just about anybody into a mortgage of some type. 1:26:33 - Robert in Metairie asks Gregory and Dwayne to explain how the bank gives 5% return on an unused line of credit from a reverse mortgage. Gregory Ricks adds that if you’re planning on doing a reverse mortgage in the future, perhaps you should go ahead and do the reverse mortgage now, but leave the line of credit to grow. The math may be better that way. 1:33:45 - Be careful! A debit card skimmer was found on a gas station pump in Jackson County. If a debit card machine looks suspicious, give it a tug and see if it moves. If you’re not sure, move on. 1:39:11 - James details a chart on when your Full Retirement Age is for Social Security. 2:06:02 - Kevin in Des Moines asks Gregory Ricks to explain how the taxes will be figured on the sale of a rental property he co-owns with his brother. 2:08:17 - Robert in Jackson has a friend who is inheriting an IRA left to her from her deceased son. Gregory Ricks spells out her options, decodes the taxes. 2:12:07 - Dell in Brandon, MS inherited an IRA from her mom. She was already taking Required Minimum Distributions, but the bank stopped issuing distributions on death.

April Stolf wrote the book on success. It s called The Art and Science of Success. After a couple of cocktails Neuro Linguistic Programming seems pretty easy. April has enough material at this table to keep her busy for a year re programming personalities. First there s Zach Quinn. Zach dropped out of high school in Chalmette in 10th grade due to "mental problems." Today he claims to be riddled with insecurity and self doubt, but it s impossible to tell from his public persona as the front person for wildly successful punk band The Pears. Then there s Matthew Snyder. He s a professor of political science at Delgado with a specialist expertise in the Middle East. He lived and worked in politics and academia in Cairo and believes the whole of the Middle East basically has to burn to the ground before there will ever be peace. On the other hand, in his professional opinion Trump is too much of a buffoon to cause that to happen so we have nothing immediate to worry about. Other than, possibly, heroin. Cat Tod is the creative force behind the New Orleans art tech business Where Y Art, where local artists and people who love art can find each other. Cat s big news of the day, other than exploring her secret personality that makes her gyrate around her kitchen with three dogs, is the reduction by one crayon of the long running traditional box of 24 crayons, so that there will now be 23 crayons in a box. What color is being retired Dandelion. It doesn t take too to figure out the conspiracy behind that one. After another cocktail. Try and get a word in edgeways here.

Here is a montage of clips of the New Orleans Bingo! Show @ Voodoo 2008. They are easily one of my favorite local bands and are always entertaining.

I spent my Sunday afternoon at NOMA's Japan Fest.

For my trip to California, I rented a car to get around. Because of my budget, I reserved a car similar to my own (Toyota Corolla). When we got to the rental agent they told me they were out of Corollas, but gave us a Pontiac Vibe instead. After getting to the parking lot we discovered that the Vibe had a dead battery. Then, they replaced the Vibe with a Mustang (for the rate of the renting a Corolla).

I went out on Saturday night with some friends to celebrate our friend Matt's birthday. Here is some of the hijinks that ensued.
