On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Rachel Simons, author of "Sesame: Global Recipes + Stories of an Ancient Seed," co-founder of Seed+Mill, based in New York City's iconic Chelsea Market. The book - and the conversation - talk about the seed's metaphor and connection. "Seeds are the beginning of life; that's how everything starts: vegetables, fruits, humans, animals, ideas," says Simons, who believes the book is not just about food, but life, travel, and history." After Simons, who has lived around the world, moved to New York, she saw an opportunity to open a business around a product - mainly Tahini - that hadn't yet had its moment to shine. "It was an underrated, underappreciated condiment or ingredient, and we wanted to throw our energy behind, you know, doing something fresh with it," she says. "We're nearly 10 years old and we honestly had no idea that this little shop would just turn into a business which would turn into a brand and eventually now a cookbook." "Sesame" answers is a clear, approachable guide to the world of sesame, from halva and tahini to togarashi, gomasio and furikake. Whether it's in the form of a seed, tahini (a ground sesame paste), sesame oil, or halva (a soft, fudge-like candy made from sesame paste), readers can incorporate it in 100 traditional and modern global recipes. " I wanted to make the book feel very global, very international, and very embracing," she says. "I wanted the book to be an umbrella where everybody could see a part of their food identity." Rachel Simons shares her backstory - and the seeds that led her where she is today - as well as her history with and the origins of tahini. She also talks about her love of food, the value of that connection, and her recipe for sesame and peach miso crumble, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.

Note: Anyone who counts the correct number of times the word "seed" is said in the podcast, will get a free Tahini ice cream from Rachel at Seed + Mill in New York.

In questo episodio vi porto nel Meatpacking District, uno dei quartieri che più raccontano la capacità di New York di reinventarsi.Un tempo era il regno dei macelli e dei magazzini pieni di blocchi di ghiaccio, dove centinaia di aziende lavoravano giorno e notte per rifornire la città.Scopriremo come, da questo passato industriale, sia nato un quartiere di creatività e moda, con la rinascita del Chelsea Market: l'ex fabbrica dei biscotti Oreo trasformata in un mercato urbano unico, pieno di profumi, mattoni e vita.Vi racconterò anche come la vicina High Line e il Whitney Museum abbiano completato questa metamorfosi, trasformando un'area dimenticata in uno dei luoghi più affascinanti di Manhattan.
Tahini has gotten a lot of press in the last few years, and the delicious sesame paste has become a staple in many of our pantries. Many cultures have embraced the borderless sesame seed in some form or another, including Japanese gomashio and furikake, hummus from the Middle East, Italian Reginelle cookies, and even in burgers. In her new book, Rachel Simons explores all the possibilities and guises of this versatile ingredient: Sesame: Global Recipes & Stories of an Ancient Seed Rachel is the co-founder of Seed+Mill, which offers top-quality tahini and halvah, a rich sesame paste that's one of the best things you'll put in your mouth. There are many brands of tahini and halvah (that vary in quality) but the ones offered by Seed+Mill are uniformly excellent, and I always make room in my suitcase to bring some back to Paris with me. And if you find yourself in New York City, the tahini soft-serve ice cream they serve in their shop at the Chelsea Market, served with crumbles of halvah, is truly a scoop—or swirl—of heaven. Rachel is one of the nicest people I know, although she did yell at me once…I was packing jelly rings at the Joyva halvah factory in Brooklyn with Jake Cohen, and that's Rachel, yelling at me.
Scotsman in New York NEW YORK is, undoubtedly, one of the most exciting cities in the world and I can't believe that I have just visited for the first time. Thankfully I have now been to see this amazing metropolis for myself and this Podcast shares that experience with you. From screeching Police sirens to bellowing bagpipes, this was an adventure worth waiting for. It is only a few weeks since I returned from New York and I was absolutely buzzing after my first visit to the Big Apple, to such an extent that I'm inserting this bonus Podcast detailing my experience in the city and the excitement of being part of Tartan week when thousands of Scots pour into the metropolis to join thousands more diaspora Scots who come from all over America to enjoy this bagpiping, drum thumping, highland dancing, whisky drinking throng. It is incredible. The Tartan Parade actually marched up 6th Avenue, waved on by thousands of people who lined the streets. Of course this was just one part of my journey, and I share with you the wonderful times I had at Met Cloisters, Central Park where I recorded a busker singing John Lennon's song, Imagine, not far from where he used to live and was killed. I visit the Empire State Building, the Vanderbilt experience and the Peak restaurant at Hudson Yards, and all at a height of 1400 feet. I walk the Highline and take a gastronomic tour around Chelsea Market. Well, let me share my experience of New York with you, not just Tartan week but my overall visit which was a whirlwind of both tourist sites and off the beaten track places which were just as wonderful.

In My Travels Mom, Millie and I met up with our friend Ryan at the Farm Fiber Days Event at Wayland Farmers Market at Russells Garden Center. Millie was looking for yarn to knit a hat for her dad. We found it in one of the first booths- Plied Yarns. Always great to see Ann Weaver. We did a full loop and went back to purchase yarn. I bought a handsewn chicken potholder set. The Blue Heron Farm (in Vermont) hosted their table for folks to learn Needle Felting. Millie made Ryan a butterfly like the ones she made for us. Thanks to "Auntie Shelly" at Blue Heron for encouraging Millie. I got some great info from Jim Grant from Good Karma Farm about getting going on my Cricular Sock Machine. Check out their video on How to Knit a Sock on Circular Sock Machine for beginners. We got lunch after at The Local. Then Mom and I went back and I bought a few plants, a watering can & a decorative pumpkin from the clearance section. The next Farm Fiber Days at Wayland Farmer's Market is March 3, 2024. Details can be found on their website.

Update from Commentator: Mary There's lots of strategizing and discussion about what there is and is not time to finish before the end of PSP. Relatedly, there is some discussion about the joys of finishing longstanding WIPs even if those projects don't count for pigskin party. There was also recently some discussion on pros and cons of different approaches to provisional cast ons, including a method where you use a stitch saver instead of scrap yarn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olAZk2tkTus). Finally, there's been some talk of travel plans including the intense decision making process that crafters go through when they are trying to decide what projects to bring on a trip. This has included discussion of pros and cons of checking luggage vs. carrying on and some musings about who decided that packing light is a value we should all aspire to anyway. Kristen recently shared a link to a story about monkeyshine hunting. Its a neat tradition that coincides with lunar new year in Tacoma. https://gritcitymag.com/2020/01/a-little-backstory-on-monkeyshines-in-tacoma/ Here's a highlight from the endzone dance thread: Sandyrlevin completed an amazing sweater with a really detailed octopus on it.

Summary: In the eighth episode of Season 10 of the Propcast, host Louisa Dickins is joined by Sonu Panda, the CEO of Prescriptive Data and Becca Rushin, the Director of ESG at Jamestown. Becca and Sonu discuss challenges in the industry including the impact of the current geopolitical climate and whether this will slow down the journey to net zero. Becca and Sonu share their career journeys to ESG and technology. In this episode you'll hear Sonu explain more about script data and how it improves sustainability in buildings. Becca talks about Jamestown's sustainability and social responsibility initiatives and shares information on their green program and charitable foundation. The key takeaway from this episode is that people want to work in healthy buildings and environments, however, achieving carbon neutrality through offsets is not enough. Instead, true science based approaches are what's needed to tackle the bigger issue of climate change. Resources: LMRE Global Recruitment and Search Consultancy LMRE YouTube Interviews Cradle to Cradle by William McDonough and Michael Braungart The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken The RHINO Principle, Paul Johnson Companies Mentioned: Rudin Management Carbon Lighthouse Measurabl Deepki Boston Properties The James Beard Foundation Shout Outs: John Gilbert, COO of Rudin Management Ben Myers, Vice President of Boston Properties Key Insights From This Episode: So much of what we do is a function of the deep thoughts that our customers have and the feedback that we receive. - Sonu I think the holy grail for a tech company is to find some sort of portfolio deployment that works for every single asset, everyone wants that package deal. - Becca I see a more widespread recognition that climate change is real, that achieving carbon neutrality through offsets is not enough, and that true science based approaches are what's called for - Sonu One thing that is really important about our portfolio is that it is very diverse, we don't own glass office towers, we have a lot of special snowflakes. - Becca People want to work in healthy buildings and environments, these are the things that people are paying attention to, it's the new employee value proposition. - Louisa About Our Guests: Sonu Panda: Sonu Panda is the CEO of Prescriptive Data, a privately-held SaaS company focused on the intersection of the Internet of Things, big data, and machine learning as applied to built environments of all types.

Prior to Prescriptive Data, Panda most recently served as the co-founder and COO of H.Bloom, a B2B marketplace company, where he developed the company's operational model, established both product/technology development and process engineering efforts and managed day-to-day business operations.

Timestamps: [2:43] Becca: How did you get to become in the ESG space at Jamestown and how do you know Sonu? I learnt about sustainability whilst I was studying environmental policy, from there I decided to go to the Netherlands to study sustainable development. Over the last ten years I have focused on putting systems into place that have evolved from the benchmarking of monthly utility performance to more robust energy management platforms. I first heard about Prescriptive Data through a friend of mine that worked there. I then sat on a panel with Sonu and listened to John Gilbert from Rudin talk about the evolution of the Nantum platform. [5:41] Sonu: How did you become CEO of Prescriptive Data and can you tell us more about the product? I have always been in the enterprise software business, when I had my son I started thinking about how I can work in a field that is fundamentally important to the world and what will have an impact, this led me to meeting Rudin Management. Prescriptive Data started as a project within the Rudin Management portfolio, we are now entirely independent. Our original premise was the idea that commercial offices exist to provide productive and comfortable workplaces, a big part of that is indoor air quality and thermal comfort. We used occupancy sensors so we could learn the rhythms of the building and correlate with the technology controlling the air quality in the buildings. This was the beginning of the Nantum OS. [12:33] Becca: Can you talk us through Jamestown's initiatives, what your strategy is and what you're working on at the moment? The Jamestown Green program and the Jamestown Charitable Foundation are ultimately about our efforts to reduce Jamestown's impact on the environment and support the communities where we own property and where we operate. The Charitable Foundation was established to help host community events that benefit nonprofits. We invest in metropolitan centres and then support the nonprofits that make those cities more desirable places to work. The Jamestown Green program is for sustainability efforts. We look to find management practices and initiatives that help increase our net operating income, drive financial performance at our assets and make our assets more valuable [16:45] Becca: Are there any other companies that you are piloting on the portfolio that are helping to reduce emissions more specific to ESG? I've been focused on first just having a system in place, and over the last couple of years focusing more on the quality of the platform and matching specific tech solutions and providers with a specific type of asset. We have partnered with a company called Carbon Lighthouse, they identify energy saving products that the team then implements. They help back up those projections with their energy models and monitor the projects so they stay in place over the long term. [19:22] Sonu: What is the main challenge you face in the industry? Everybody is worried about the geopolitical situation, however I try not to think about it, largely because there is so much momentum around sustainability. I see a more widespread recognition that climate change is real, that achieving carbon neutrality through offsets is not enough and that true science based approaches are what's called for. L – Touch on the main lessons you have learnt throughout your career. Sonu - The RHINO principle, keep your eye on the prize, there is an impact to be made, we are doing really important work and we must stay focused on it. M - Please give a mention to anyone / product / service. Becca - I think that part of the reason that I've been successful is because I've been relentless about networking and finding partnerships. R – What has been the most rewarding aspect of working in PropTech? Sonu: The fact that we are working on something that is a shared concern and if we resolve it will be a shared benefit. E - What are you excited about in the future of PropTech? Sonu answered earlier in the show: I'm excited about the transition towards net zero I've witnessed in the last six months. I think it's a great opportunity because people have realised something needs to be done.

Ashley Miah known as Lee Lee La Cubana, is an Afro-Latina artist from New York City who focuses on acrylic painting. An Honoree of Crain's 20 in their 20's 2022, Ashley enjoys creating art for urban communities and puts events together through her Art Organization, The Culture Candy, for artists to showcase their work and encourage New Yorkers to invest in urban, minority and undiscovered artists. The Culture Candy is a NYC based arts organization that celebrates urban New York City Culture, the arts, and urban & minority artists by providing upcoming artists with showcase opportunities. In addition to The Culture Candy she is the founder of heART Con, a recurring art convention and NYC's official art week. heART Week, her first citywide NYC art week, took place June 2022 and included businesses throughout the five boroughs including Chelsea Market, ARTECHOUSE and more! She aims to continue to create and spread the love she has for her urban upbringing through art. In her early life, Ashley created art independently leading her to attend a performing arts high school. After attending Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art she continued to pursue the field and currently holds a B.F.A. from Hunter College. Although she mainly works in acrylics, she is classically trained in figure drawing, photography, graphic design, fashion design and printmaking.

For background, the Specialty Foods Association's (SFA) mission is to shape the future of food by championing, nurturing and connecting their members to deliver innovative products and expand the consumption of specialty foods. They have built a culture based on core values that include transparency and integrity to inspire sustainability, creativity and expand their industry. To promote those values, the SFA hosts trade shows to encourage networking, opportunity and the building of lasting relationships. The latest Summer Fancy Food Show was held at the Javits Center in New York City, Sunday through Tuesday, June 12-14 and was attended by our hosts, Sarah Masoni and Sarah Marshall. They recap their adventure in this episode. The unfortunate sideline of Sarah Masoni catching COVID and being down for a couple of days did not dampen the thrills of this incredible event. The event was full; lots people, interest, new food items and enthusiasm for a more normal business environment. Our hosts wanted to share information about the people they met, the food they ate and about food shows in general and what a vital part of the industry they provide. To start, there were over 1,700 exhibitors displaying foods from all over the globe so that gives you an idea of the enormity of knowledge the participants are exposed to. Sarah Marshall also visited the Good Food Mercantile Show the day before the Fancy Foods Show, which is a great way to increase her network. Good Food Mercantile tends to be more specialty foods merchants and a smaller venue, so there is a completely different viewpoint than Fancy Foods. Sarah encourages all food entrepreneurs to see as many of the good trade shows as their budget allows to keep growing their base of contacts and keep abreast of what's happening in the trade. While in New York for the show, Sarah Masoni also did a film clip to be shown in the Chicago Museum of Ice Cream. Opening July 17th, the Museum is very experiential and interactive and fun for the whole family. Sarah Marshall's philosophy on travel is to find one fun thing to do each day, so while in New York, she and Sarah Masoni walked The High Line to the Chelsea Market. Then, it was visit to Art Tech House where there was an exhibit called “Life of a Neuron”, which is evidently an amazing film. They also visited Mercado Little Spain and enjoyed some of the best olives they had ever eaten; and that compliment comes from a couple of olive experts. Sarah Masoni presented at the Fancy Foods awards ceremony and recognized those in the food industry who had contributed for years to its success. One story of note was from the person who introduced the Calamata olive to the US; it was encouraging, inspirational and heartfelt. And there were many other stories of food pioneers who brought new tastes and experiences to the US. The main Fancy Foods Show mission remains: Be more of a community than a trade show. Make the participants feel included and that they also have equity in promoting nutritious, creative and delicious food that is part of the wonderful experience of being human.

Things got scary for Neighborhood Goods in 2020. "We went through layoffs and furloughs -- all sorts of challenging things," said co-founder and CEO Matt Alexander. "And we had just come into the year on a real tear, and it was just really gut-wrenching to suddenly be in that moment." But business has returned, and his updated department store model -- which has retail space in city centers like Manhattan, Austin and Plano and hosts a variety of brands in exchange for a revenue share -- is doing numbers once again. "Sales continue to grow and we continue to add more brands," Alexander said on the Modern Retail Podcast. Alexander joined Modern Retail for a live podcast recording at his New York City store in Chelsea Market during Digiday Media's Commerce Week. There, he spoke about changes to the business and how he's preparing for the future. While sales obviously dropped during the pandemic -- and the company had to close all of its stores for an extended period of time -- Neighborhood Goods was able to see some glimmers of light via its digital services. "Our stores are ostensibly their own warehouses. Local delivery, same-day deliveries, in-store pickup, things of that nature, we were able to offer that for products that were otherwise going to take weeks -- if not months -- to arrive with customers," he said. "And so that actually became a real driver for us." But now, digital is no longer the focus -- it's all about the store. Traffic, Alexander said, has picked back up to pre-pandemic levels and stores are more productive than ever before. In fact, he said the real issue he faces is too much traffic. "We're just getting an absurd amount of people to the point that it creates like a lot of challenges as to how you operate with it," Alexander said. Still, it's a good problem to have. Now, the focus is on growth. That could mean more stores, though Alexander he's still trying to figure out where that may be. It could be California, Atlanta, Nashville or even a smaller suburb, he said. But he's optimistic about the future of his business -- as well as the state of physical retail itself. "At the end of the day, the fundamental picture continues to improve," he said.
Anne Saxelby was a champion of American farmstead and artisanal cheeses and was beloved by cheesemakers and chefs alike. The founder of Saxelby Cheesemongers (now at NYC's Chelsea Market and online), Anne passed away unexpectedly last October, devastating her family and leaving a big hole in the hearts of many in the food world. In response, Anne's husband, Patrick Martins, who helped found Heritage Foods, Heritage Radio, and Slow Food USA, started the Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund to keep her spirit alive through paid apprenticeships at farms across the country. Patrick joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the legacy fund, and later in the show, Anna Harrington of the Rounds cookie company and the ASLF Fundraiser Benefit Committee joins to talk about the legacy fund's first event, taking place Sept. 14th at Chelsea Market. Thank you to California Prunes and to Käserei Champignon, the maker of Cambozola and Grand Noir cheese, for supporting this episode.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co hosts in life, Brad and I are going to dig into the profound, we're bringing back profound, Brad.Brad Crowell Oh, yeah. (Lesley laughs) We're bringing it back.Lesley Logan My conversation I have with Tina Tang in our last episode ...Brad Crowell Actually, you know what, I think we should change it to, the conversation that you had with Tina was fun ... It was just a fun interview. I really enjoyed listening to it.Lesley Logan So we're just gonna leave all that in. (Brad: Yeah) Yeah. Okay. It was fun, though. I really love her. I can't wait to see her. Okay, I hung out with Tina Tang in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause this now. Go back and listen to that one and then come back and join us. Let us know if you thought it was fun or profound. (Brad: Yeah) (Brad laughs) And if you would like to insert a word of your own making into the intro to this podcast. You can DM them to @be_it_pod. (Brad laughs) All right. So I'm super excited, Babe.Brad Crowell Tell me!Lesley Logan Because we have over 150 people already signed up for our fourth #100withme challenge. (Brad: Yeah) I I'm like this is amazing. We start on October 3rd and we already have over 150 people.Brad Crowell Yeah, it's very exciting. It's it's gonna be a really fun group. We know some of you. (Lesley: Yes) So fantastic way to way you jump in.Lesley Logan I think for the people who are doing for the fourth time, we should probably get him a shirt. (Brad: Yeah, yeah) Yeah, fourth time ...Brad Crowell But but then there are others in there that we're looking forward to getting to know. And then there are those of you who are listening right now who have no idea what we're talking about.Lesley Logan Yeah. So first of all, I'm really excited to get to know them too, because a lot of them have never done Pilates before which is awesome. So first of all, this is not a Pilates challenge. Like, how much Pilates can you do?Brad Crowell Yeah, noLesley Logan This is a consistency ... Brad Crowell It's not like an ice bucket challenge like, can you (Lesley laughs) do 75 hundred with me hundreds. I don't know. I just made that up.Lesley Logan Yeah, I could tell but it's okay. (Brad and Lesley laughs)Brad Crowell So could everybody else that is listening (Brad and Lesley laughs)Lesley Logan So it's it's a consistency challenge and the goal of this is, I am a Pilates teacher in case you didn't know. And so I'm going to teach you how to be consistent in your life with Pilates and also be kind to yourself while doing it. And then what I teach you, you can rinse and repeat for anything, you want to be consistent in because what I'm teaching you how to be consistent with Pilates isn't like, "Oh my gonna work for this ..."Brad Crowell Oh I thought you were gonna pull out our favorite word, "profound." (Lesley and Brad laughs)Lesley Logan So, so anyways, um, we have a lot of newbies, and what, which I'm really excited about because I really do love when new people start Pilates with us, it means no bad habits. (Lesley laughs) And also, we're giving everyone who signs up for our challenge access to our intro series. So no excuses. If you are only pi-curious, let that curiosity (Brad laughs) go and sign up for the 100withme challenge. We do kick off on October 3rd. So you want to go to 100withme.com to sign up (Brad: Yes) and grab your spot. Also, this is ... Brad, you want to tell them we talked about this last week, but like maybe we should remind them. So ...Brad Crowell ... Oh, okay, I know and now we're on the same brainwave. Yes, actually, we are, we want to give back to first responders. And we kept thinking how can we do this? Like, what would be a good way to you know, show our support. And we realized that first responders are obviously in need of breather. They, you know, it's been 18 months of insanity here across the board ...Lesley Logan I feel like we're at 20 months at this point. Maybe it's only 18...Brad Crowell Yeah, I don't even know where we're at. (Lesley: ... I don't know) But it's, it's, it's, it's a long time and they're, they've been going full tilt. And you know, we've been hearing stories about nurses resigning and stuff because they're just overwhelmed. And so we thought that was one of the really amazing benefits of the 100withme challenge is the idea of filling your cup first. So that you are at a 100% so that when you go serve others you are actually taken care of. And that's why we thought, "Oh wow, the first responders could use this challenge as me time" as like, "Me, myself and I time" because that's what the challenge is about this time. (Lesley: Yeah) So it's it's such an obvious connection there and what we wanted to do was was empower you to sponsor a first responder. Okay, so there's a special link you're going to need that's going to we're going to put that link in the show notes. But instead of the full price ticket $99 for to join the challenge for the first responder, you can sponsor them, we're going to split that with you and it'll be only $30 and we'll cover the rest of it. (Lesley: Yeah) And you can, you can invite a first responder who is a friend or family member, or if you don't know anybody, you you know, who is a first responder, you can find one and say, "Hey, you know, I'm thinking of you, I bought this for you. I hope that you, you know, take some time for yourself here, because I know how much you need it."Lesley Logan Yeah. So I just I'm so excited. I can't wait to see how many first responders we get to do this with because even if they only do five minutes of Pilates a day, I know that they will have taken a moment for themselves to do that. And the action of laying down on the ground and just doing one exercise is them pouring into themselves first before they go to be there for others. And it's an it's just gonna be a domino effect. And and I say that to you as well. It is called the "Me, myself and I" theme that start with a theme every challenge. (Brad: Yeah) And so that's the theme and it's because I think people are still hung up on self care being selfish, and that self care has to be a reward for something. And no, self care isn't selfish care. That's what our friend Ber... Brenda Cooper said. It's not, it's not the intention. And so when you fill your cup first, then you are practicing doing that in life, it's going to help you give more to others freely, else have more energy doing it. So basically get your booty over to the challenge.Brad Crowell I just one more thing I want to say this challenge actually has nothing to do with Pilates even... that's an ironic (Lesley laughs) statement, right? Because it's about it like what we're using the Pilates to do. It's a tool. (Lesley: Yeah) It's a method. It's just, it's just a small piece of this. The the the main idea here is creating consistency in your life, helping you build healthy habits of working out. And we are just happening to use Pilates for this challenge because obviously that's what Lesley is known for ... (Lesley laughs) But so like for example, if you were sponsoring a firefighter who has never even heard of Pilates, you know, they don't have to worry, it's not about the Pilates. It's about them taking time for themselves.Lesley Logan Yeah, so we're gonna we're, there's Pilates classes, everyone, and then there's an intro series for people who need it. But there's also hangout sessions and coaching around habits and also coaching around the mindset that you have to have so that your brain wants and your body wants to create this habit. So ...Brad Crowell Yeah and first responder isn't just the firefighter. You know, it could be a grocery store clerk, it could be your mailman, someone who has been out there the whole time who hasn't been able to work from home, because they because of just the nature of their job. (Lesley: Yeah ... so amazing) So, you know, we're we're definitely thinking broad, you know, grocery store clerk kind of thing. (Lesley: Yeah) So, yeah ...Lesley Logan So anyways, I can't wait to see how many more people sign up because we have plenty of time. But if you do it, say you're gonna do it tomorrow. You probably will forget. So do it today. Okay, so next we have our audience, our Be It listener's question of the week. Babe, what is the question?Brad Crowell Yeah. So, "What do you do if you don't have enough time to get your workout in?" Which I think it's funny that leads right into that.Lesley Logan Yeah, that's so fun. I love when that happens. Um, thank you for sending that question in. Well Babe, what do you do when you have enough time to workout?Brad Crowell Yeah, I, I get up early the next day. And and that's actually ridiculous to say that, but that's actually when I when I miss a workout or I don't get it in. I try to go to bed early so that I will get up early the next morning. And that's been kind of how I treated that.Lesley Logan Yeah, but you know what I like about that you don't really beat yourself up about it. And that's why your brain is good with doing it tomorrow. A lot of people would be upset with themselves, get frustrated, and they the whole day would be off on the wrong foot because they didn't get that thing and they promised themselves that they would do and you you're you're like, "Okay, I'm gonna make sure I get my work done so I can go to bed early."Brad Crowell Yeah, it's it's been I mean, when when I was in a routine of going to the gym, or the studio to practice yoga, I probably would have been really upset if I had missed my class because it was like part of my world, part of my routine I was in I was always there, whatever, you know, but when everything shifted to be working at home and all the things now it's been way like, like, life seems flexible in sense, you know, somehow, we we've changed the the decision making factor and I, I I hope I'm not alone in that because I'm ... No, I'm trying to make myself feel better. So if you're like me, please DM us and tell me how much I'm not alone. (Lesley: Yeah) if I'm totally alone then good for all of you...Lesley Logan It's okay. He's he's doing the "Me, myself and I" challenge as well (Brad: Yeah, yeah) everyone. Um, so I love this question because I think a lot of people think it's all or nothing. Oh, I wanted to work out at eight o'clock. I slept until nine. So now I can't do that. (Brad: Right) But your, the way the brain works and the way that our bodies work is a little different. Your brain doesn't like anything that causes pain. So if missing your workout causes you to be frustrated and upset. It's actually going to not make your brain look for other places that it can work out in. But if you actually keep that, "Oh, I'm so glad I remembered I wanted to do that today."Brad Crowell Right. And it's like an association with the negative and positive (Lesley: Yeah) like it like for me. Like, it's quick to anger kind of a thing. If I'm like, "Ah, I messed it up!" You know, that's not a great association with the idea of working out in the first place because, you know, now I'm just connecting it to a negative emotion.Lesley Logan Yeah, exactly. So so I don't do that anymore. I think years ago, I get really upset with myself, "Ah, I wanted to do that." But perfect is boring and we're ditching perfection over here. And so what I do now is go, "Oh, I'm so glad I remembered I want to do that today." And I look at the calendar and I look and see if what is on here, does any of it have to be on here? Like (Brad: Right) have to be on there? Is there any way I can shorten it? Can I, oh I have a call with Erica, can I take that called Erica while I'm on my Peloton? Can I do this while I'm walking on the tra..? Can I when I do the dog walk? Can I make the dog go a little bit faster? Can I run the dog instead of walking the dog? And so I actually ...Brad Crowell We did get the treadmill (Lesley: Yeah) so that you can do phone calls (Lesley: Yeah, and I have been...) on your walk. (Lesley: I know) And you can, you know get a workout in while you're talking with someone, yeah.Lesley Logan Totally. Especially days like today I'm going to be on there at five o'clock when I have a call with my friend because I've been sitting at my desk all day today ...Brad Crowell It's also insanely hot out.Lesley Logan It is, it's if... they say keeps gonna get cooler, but it's not. So anyways, that's what I would suggest is, celebrate that you thought about it so it's good pleasure in your brain. Look to see if there's any place you can pair something you're already doing with a long walk or on your Peloton. And if you're like, "Lesley, are you kidding? That is glitter and unicorns," then you should be my challenge, because I'm going to help hold you accountable to good thoughts around when you want to work out and it's okay to just do five minutes, especially if you aren't consistent right now ... consist with five minutes every day is going to help you there. So anyways, great questions. I love seeing the questions to them to the @be_it_pod on Instagram.Brad Crowell All right, now let's talk about Tina Tang, (Lesley: Tina Tang) former Wall Street trader and brick-and-mortar jewelry store owner and designer. Tina Tang dove head-first into fitness at the age of 42, after some incredibly challenging life, changes of a divorce and a crashing economy. Now. seven years later, she's coached thousands of training sessions, created the FS Formula to help mid-life women get stronger and leaner, and is a 'Fit at 50' coach. I really enjoyed your conversation with her. I don't even I didn't know Tina. I don't know Tina. I just enjoyed listening to it and I thought ...Lesley Logan Well, you do know, Tina, like but not from a like you've never I don't know you've met her ...Brad Crowell No, I haven't met Tina but it makes me want to like go to New York City and hang out with Tina ... It was great conversations.Lesley Logan I guess you didn't meet her when we were in Mexico. But ...Brad Crowell No, I don't think. Oh, maybe I did for like two seconds ...Lesley Logan Yeah. But but anyways, y'all were in a similar group with her. And so and then I took your spot because I was like, "Get out. These are my ladies." (Brad laughs) So what I didn't know about Tina is that she was a jewelry store owner when I ran jewelry stores. And so she and I literally were talking shop when we were in Cabo because we were both in boutique business (Brad: Right) at the same time. And I just didn't own the business that I left, but she did. So that was really heartbreaking. So I loved it. She's amazing. If you are if you are intimidated by the gym, yeah, I talked to her because she didn't start going till she's 42. So we talked about the opinions of others and I really loved talking about this. And I think it's I mean, we've talked about that in different ways before in different episodes. Here's the thing. Like, I think that we, I think we all just think people think about us too much. And they don't... no one's thinking about us. Brad Crowell Yeah, but okay, hold on. We have to, we have to reference the opinions of others that she was talking about. (Lesley: Oh) (Lesley laughs) ... I mean, oh my gosh, I was laughing (Lesley: share it) so hard. Well, she talks about her parents, right, who emigrated here from a war torn country, you know, and they're very stereotypical. And, and I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna ruin the joke, you're gonna have to go back to the last episode to listen to it. But I was I was listening to it last night and everyone else was asleep in the house and I'm just listening with my headphones on. And when she told us a story about how her mom introduced her to her mom's friend, I laughed so loudly I'm pretty sure the dog started barking. I mean, I was laughing... it was insane. I was laughing so hard. Anyway, the two of you talked about, (Lesley: yeah) your family support when it came to making major changes in your life. And for her it was for you know, like the economy crashing shifted, her jewelry stores weren't going to survive. (Lesley: Yeah) And so and then she went from there into fitness and and her parents were looking at her cross eyed thinking like, "What are you doing with your life?"Lesley Logan Well, and I think we talked about this before so I don't want to go into, if you didn't listen to recap with Danielle Pascente definitely listen to that. But here's here's something that I had to teach myself because when Brad put me on YouTube, ... all of a sudden there was someone who would be like instant thumbs down like as soon as a video would go up it was an immediate thumbs down. (Brad: Yeah) And you, it literally has been up for three seconds. (Brad: What an asshole) You didn't even watch it, like, (Brad: yeah) "Who is this hater?" And I was like getting, I was like, "How do you find them? I need to block them. This person is attacking me." And you're like, (Brad: yeah) (Brad laughs) "You can't find out who this person is." And I was so ...Brad Crowell But it was like, I mean, it was they were, they weren't watching. It was like ... new video, I would get the notification about new video from Lesley. And then I would go to the video and it was like there's a thumbs down already. Like, (Lesley: yeah) they are out for you.Lesley Logan Yeah. It was like, okay, so anyways, I was on a run. And it's so funny how things come up and I was listening to Brené Brown on this interview. And this is like way before she was "St. Brené," but definitely like after her TED Talk. (Brad laughs) And she said, she was sharing her story about how she'd have these like negative comments on a YouTube, TED TED Talk. And she's like, "How do I go in and find out the IP address, (Brad: Oh yeah) and go all the way to their house and shake them." (Brad laughs) And then she's, she's like, she realized like she's spending too much time thinking about the people who don't like her. (Brad: Yes) And so she actually talked about how it's really important that you're clear on whose opinions of you matter. (Brad: Yeah) And I think that means you might even have to compartmentalize it, like, I'm sure Tina cares about her parents and that their opinion matters. But she's probably had to compartmentalize that like, it doesn't matter when it comes to what she's doing for her purpose on this planet. (Brad: Right) So I have, I have a list of people whose opinions to me matter. They know, their opinion of me matters and that's important, because if they compliment me, I'm gonna weight it higher than someone else. (Brad: Sure) And if they say something harsh, I'm gonna weight it higher than someone else. But because they know that their opinion matters and they are, they don't take it lightly and it's in it's important. But if someone does say something, and describes me in a certain way, and trust me, I get the DMs, y'all, I block and bless, block and bless. Um ...Brad Crowell Sometimes they're just ridiculous. It's pretty amazing.Lesley Logan They're ridiculous. And if I if I, if I let give them any more weight than just going, "Oh, is that true?" Then it's taking me from doing the thing that I actually care about. And it would affect I couldn't show up here today if I paid attention to opinions of others. So, what did you love that she said?Brad Crowell Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm glad to talk about that because I think that's one of the hardest things for just it with the ... with social, because it's so easy for people to hide, (Lesley: Yeah) and leave, you know, nasty comments and stuff. So, yeah, anyway. So one of the things that she talked about was, how those the combination of going through a really challenging divorce and the economy crashing, you know, like, she really felt like she was at rock bottom. And you know, that it's really interesting. She has a congratulations in the last episode, which kind of surprised me, but having experienced what she was talking about, you know, I get I get where she's coming from now. But one of the things that she said was, you know, when you're going through it, nobody wants to hear, you know, this is going to be better for you. Right? You know, and, and she said, it sucks. It's the worst experience. You know, she lost her her marriage, she lost her company. Right? And, you know, but from that, you know, a) ... it forced her to look at herself, which is something that we honestly, we rarely do. After we've decided we know who we are, and we like who we are, and we don't really go back very often and like reevaluate things from the ground up. But those life altering, those rock bottom experiences will will put you back in that place, and allow you to draw different conclusions about the things that are important to you. And like where, you know, again, who you let influence you, you know, weigh in the opinions that matter, like Lesley was talking about? So, yeah, I really, I really connected with that having, you know, gone through a divorce myself, and had a solid year of shit that I that I went through after that, and, and, you know, I mean, I, it was, it was one of those things where, like, where, like, I would get home and be relieved that I didn't have to put like this fake face on anymore. But then when I was home, I was home alone. And it was just me and my dog. And it was just like, not exciting, either. So you know, but from that, you know, you look at yourself, you make changes, and then you know, you grow. (Lesley: Yeah) So yeahBrad Crowell I, well, I just think that like, there's enough quotes out there about like, you know, like, the cream rises, like all like you get to rock bottom, you come up like other people have said, "You can't take away anyone's rock bottoms." And the truth is, is that like, we have that yoga teacher who says, "You can't have one without the other. You can't have love without hate. You can't have war without..." Like, you have to, they like, if you get rid of war, you can't have peace, because you don't know what that is. And I think that we are so scared of rock bottoms. And as we should be like, no one, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But some of the most amazing inventions, the greatest speakers that people who've touched you and inspired you. They've done that because they were in a rock bottom, and it got them to think about something that they wanted to do. And they did it and that changed your life! And so, you know, I just keep thinking about the times that like I was at rock bottoms and who I am and the friends I have and even you, I wouldn't have met you If I had not been at rock bottom.Brad Crowell Yeah, we talked about that with too, with Sandra Chuma. (Lesley: Yeah) And, you know how altering life, life altering that was (Lesley: Yeah) for her as well.Lesley Logan Yeah, so I just think that like, but I do think you know, it is hard because like, when you're someone next to someone who's at a rock bottom, you're like, "Why do I say" and I think I don't actually know what you say but telling people it's, it's gonna be great. It's gonna like I ...Brad Crowell And you know what she talked about that, she talked about moving in with her best friend. She said she crashed on her best friend's sofa for a month, (Lesley: Yeah) you know. And like, you know, her friend wasn't judging her, she's just there, just to be (Lesley: Yeah) there and be supportive and be a friend.Lesley Logan And I think but and I think that's the permission like, you don't have to say anything inspiring to them you just have to be there so that they can have someone with them, have someone to listen to them but you don't have to fix it.Brad Crowell Right. Well you certainly can't fix it if you're the friend. It's not, that's not how it works.Lesley Logan And thank goodness for that like that you don't have that responsibility. So (Brad: Right) you just have to be there so they feel loved and seen and they're not alone. (Brad: Yeah) Anyways, it really is a fun episode ...Brad Crowell No, you know what it made me think like listening to the two of you talk made me think of really happy memories that that we have of visiting New York City and (Lesley: Yeah) like going through those big open you know, like Chelsea Market style, like shopping areas where she described having her one of her jewelry stores I really enjoyed it and then like you know, obviously being in the city and going across to the gym, like I remember doing a lot of stuff like that so it's it was it brought back a lot of really good memories ...Lesley Logan I know. We need to get to New York.Brad Crowell Yeah. It was a fun conversation.Lesley Logan A "Be It pod in New York." Well ...Brad Crowell All right. Finally, let's talk about the Be It action items that you had from your conversation with Tina Tang. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items, can we take away from your convo? There was one that you really dug into with her. And we'll we'll we'll share that together. Basically, it was "Don't follow your passion, follow your curiosity."Lesley Logan And that got us thinking. I hope I got you all thinking because we're like, "Wait, what?" And so I ...Brad Crowell It sounds great. But again, it's like ...Lesley Logan What does it mean?Brad Crowell How do you do that?Lesley Logan So I, well, Brad is very passionate with cactuses. You want to tell him about your passion?Brad Crowell Oh, you don't even know like, I'm learning the, you know the the Latin names for these cactus and all the things, I'm really into it ... There are there are gazillion different types of succulents and cactuses. And it's been mind blowing and I keep, I keep acquiring more cactuses because we're going to create like, a cultural garden in the back that everybody will want to tour. Someday, I'm telling you, it's gonna be the coolest thing ever. (Lesley: But ...) Oh, hey, sorry, see how excited I am? ... See how passionate about those cactuses? ... No, I'm not gonna start a cactus business. Okay, like, that's not my jam. I just really am passionate about them. I really love them ...Lesley Logan He is curious about like, what will grow back here and like how it will go. But like, he's ...Brad Crowell My passion has created curiosity. Yes, for sure.Lesley Logan But, um, one way that I another way to think about it is like, I'm super passionate Pilates, if you can't tell. But something that I can't do is just tell everyone that I meet to do Pilates because some people don't even know how to spell that, how to sound it out, what it is, who it's for. They've he... they tried it, they didn't like it, all these things. And so what I realized, and as been a Pilates instructor, my my passion is more bodies doing Pilates. But my curiosity is, "How do I get those bodies to do Pilates?" And so instead of focusing on what I'm passionate about more about example doing Pilates, I actually follow my curiosity. And where I'm at right now is "Oh, people feel like they're not good enough. They don't have enough time. They don't know what it is or how it will help them." So which one of those things can I actually really make the most difference on? Like ...Brad Crowell Well, I really liked that because it does allow them to be it doesn't mean like I guess then don't follow your passion, follow your curiosity. They don't need to be two completely distinct things, like they can actually be similarly aligned. You know, but so that that's interesting. I think that's a really great, helpful way to look at it.Lesley Logan Yeah, but I love it. She said it because like, it's how she's living her life.Brad Crowell Well, here's another thing that I thought was ...Lesley Logan ... we're thinking, "Well, why does this how do you do that?" (Brad: Right) And then I was thinking like, "Well, I think I do that. I'm doing that."Brad Crowell Well, I went back and I counted. In your interview with her. I think you use the word "curious, or curiosity," like seven or eight times.Lesley Logan That's so weird. (Brad: And why... I know) Why even use that word in life?Brad Crowell Yeah. But well, the conversation was surrounding that. So, who knew?Lesley Logan Actually the intro should have been curious conversation. (Brad laughs) ... curious convo ...Brad Crowell Oh, yeah. Listen to this curious conversation. That's what it should have been.Lesley Logan Well, we missed that one. (Brad: I know) Brad, what are you doing here?Brad Crowell Producer's fired. (Lesley: Producer is ...) I can't believe it?Lesley Logan No, it's your first write up. (Brad laughs) All right, everyone, this has been a lot of fun.

A native Aussie from our shared city of Sydney she packed her bags for NYC to pursue a dream of being a jazz singer. Seven pop albums later with appearances on Late Night w/Jimmy Fallon, SNL and Good Morning America as well as performances with music industry greats such as Sting, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John and Billy Joel it's fair to say her foot is firmly in the door. Ever the creative spirit she began seeing her music as images and started drawing each of her songs into available pieces of art creating her project ‘Natchie'. With a retail store in Chelsea Market and partnerships with numerous brands she continues to draw, paint, sculpt, write, perform and sing her dreams.
My favorite boba shop in the world is @teaandmilkny, which is located in Astoria, Queens. I talk to Mathew, one of the founders of Tea and Milk, about how he made the transition from his accounting 9-5 job to pursue his passion for boba and milk tea. Mathew takes me through the journey of his relentless perseverance to make the business a success, the dedication to crafting the best milk tea, and how that all culminated into the lucky opportunity to open the second location in Chelsea Market. Mathew is a native New Yorker who grew up in Manhattan (handball in high school, anyone?). Mathew says, "I would like to thank our fans, our team and everyone who has supported us in the past and the future! Its those who support and believe in us that made us where we are!"

Fighting Iran on all fronts Amb. Yosef Livne, Former Israeli Ambassador to New Zealand speaking at ILTV Studio about why Iran has been funding proxy wars and Terror groups across the Middle East, yet the oppressive regime doesn't seem to be such a priority to the international community. Blood for blood A Palestinian family has just confirmed that they killed their own son, because he allegedly provided Israel with intelligence during the 2014 ‘Operation Protective Edge' in Gaza. 4. Jordan and Israel make amends After six months of near-frozen relations, Israel and Jordan have finally made amends. Diplomacy came to a standstill last summer when a terrorist tried to stab an Israeli guard outside Israel's Embassy in Amman. Hezbollah denounces Israeli Border Wall Hezbollah's military leader has just condemned Israel's reinforcement of its buffer wall along the border, and has even accused Israel of trying to kill a Hamas operative in southern Lebanon with a car bomb just last week. I.D.F. puts destroyed Terror Tunnel on display Israel has destroyed three Terror Tunnels from Gaza in as many months.

Here's my theory just in case I don't get a chance to say it during the show: I think food has become more like sports. People kind of root for things. Ted Allen and Anthony Bourdain are more like sport stars than people whom you would seek out for actual cooking information. People go to Chelsea Market just because they know the Food Network is somewhere upstairs. And, because of that, there's a lot more pressure on food to be exciting. When you pick up the sports pages you want news, not just the same old same old. So, driven by that pulse and a group of media engines that flow alongside it, we always have new things to cheer for. Yay bacon salt! Go gastropubs! Today on the show: where food trends come from and why they succeed, or fail.
