In this episode we have the pleasure of interviewing Brian Maiorano, the coach liaison at CORE Body Temperature. The CORE sensor is the first and only wearable that provide continuous, accurate core body temperature monitoring. The sensor allows you to easily see how much your core temperature rises with effort, so you can train your body to adapt to internal and external heat. You can also design personalized cooling protocols crucial to helping you sustain your power and pace on race day. With CORE, you'll be ready to perform at your absolute best in any conditions. Enjoy the listen and thanks for joining us Brian. CORE has kindly offered a 10% discount to any of our listeners via the following discount code: AGFL10 (valid through Friday, March 22). --- Show Notes: We introduce Brian, a triathlon coach and Core Body liaison based in Switzerland. Brian discussed his background coaching in San Diego and now balancing training with fatherhood. Heat Training Strategies @ 0:50 Brian detailed strategies for heat adaptation training, recommending 2-3 intense sessions weekly to elevate core temperature and induce physiological changes like increased blood plasma and sweat rate. Precision with a core sensor prevents overheating. Heat Adaptation and Performance @ 4:40 Brian explained how core temperature impacts performance through cardiac drift. As heat rises, blood redirects from muscles to skin, slowing pace and power. Careful heat training builds tolerance while sensors provide awareness to race effectively in warm conditions. Core Product Overview @ 6:43 Brian outlined Core's temperature-sensing technology, validated to track internal heat through skin. Data enables targeted heat training, guiding athletes to physiological benefits without exhaustion. Racing feedback alerts to impending performance declines. Elite Heat Training Methods @ 40:50 Top pros leverage extensive data to optimize efficiency gains through precise thermal regulation. Kristian Blummenfelt's Kona performance showed extreme yet dangerous adaptation levels attainable with disciplined heat training. Heat Training for Cold Climates @ 43:00 While primarily focused on heat, strategies like over-layering transfers to cold tolerance. Core temperature rises are trainable, and sensors provide awareness of skin temperature impacts on performance in freezing conditions. Strategic exposure maintains heat without risk of frostbite.

Our trio starts off by touching upon the chilly Cleveland weather and travel disruptions, before quickly transitioning into a robust debate on the geopolitical chessboard with President Biden's stance on Taiwan and the recent elections there. Amidst these discussions, they delve into the potential economic tremors a US-China conflict might send through global markets, particularly focusing on the technologically crucial semiconductor industry.The Geopolitical Powder Keg: Taiwan's Elections and US-China RelationsOur hosts didn't shy away from the frosty topic matching Cleveland's own cold snap—the heated debate about President Biden's stance on Taiwan following its recent elections. Derek, Tony, and Luke explored the delicate dance between supporting democracy and avoiding an escalation with China. They pondered the potential economic fallout of further tension, with an eye on the global supply chain's frailties, particularly concerning the microchips essential to technology sectors worldwide.Cable Cutting: The Economic Shift in Home EntertainmentIn a personal anecdote, Luke shared his parents' consideration of ditching traditional cable in favor of YouTube TV's cost-effectiveness. This move mirrors a broader trend in consumer behavior, as households pivot to streaming services like Hulu Live, induced by the sting of rising cable prices. Derek and Luke analyzed the budgetary implications and generational preferences, including the priceless need for channels like Nickelodeon for Luke's family.Debt Dynamics: Generational Views and Personal FinanceThe conversation took a sobering turn towards debt—its influence on younger generations and the overarching attitude towards borrowing. The hosts drew from personal insights and broader market observations to trace patterns in financial decision-making, spending, and the staggering instance of Robert Kiyosaki's controlled leverage. This discussion underscored the mantra of the podcast—weighing risk and grasping opportunity in fiscal matters.Tech Wars: AMD vs. Nvidia in the Evolving Chip MarketLuke brought to light a critical investor's dilemma: the contrasting paths of AMD and Nvidia within the investment portfolio. While Nvidia has experienced a valuable surge, it prompted a strategic 'trimming' from the portfolios, whereas AMD's positions have been bolstered. This segment proved to be a masterclass in adaptability and foresight, two essential traits to surviving the volatile tech market.The EV Conundrum: Electric Vehicles in Cold Climates and Global MarketsLastly, the crew didn't miss the chance to discuss the chilly implications of electric vehicles in less-than-ideal conditions, mirroring the recent weather woes. The limitations of EVs in the cold led to considerations of hybrid alternatives and the evolution of automobile technology. Moreover, with EV price cuts across China and Europe, they examined the effects these could have on the competitive landscape of the US market, and even touched on industry titans like Tesla and the ambitious visions of leaders like Elon Musk.Our hosts are always game for a dinner plan, promising a deeper dive into these topics in future episodes. So tighten your seatbelts as Derek, Tony, and Luke serve up yet another insightful blend of economic trends, personal finance tips, and a sprinkling of everyday wisdom — all while reminding listeners to consult with a professional for tailored advice. Let's talk money, markets, and what it means to be a true capitalist investor.

In this episode, my guest and I share our real-life experience with heat pump installation and operation in both warm and cold climates. Our guest for this episode is Howard Bynder, Owner of The Bee HVAC in Golden, Colorado, and host of The HVAC Dope Show. Heat pumps have been in use for decades now. But why all the fuss lately around heat pump applications? Two words: Electrification and Decarbonization. Electrification involves substituting traditional energy sources with electricity to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate environmental impact. It is evident in the growing adoption of electric vehicles, electric heating, and electrified public transportation. Simultaneously, decarbonization minimizes carbon dioxide emissions by transitioning to low-carbon alternatives and implementing sustainable practices. This movement includes a shift to renewable energy sources like solar and wind and efforts to enhance energy efficiency and promote eco-friendly practices in various sectors. Heat pumps are considered more energy-efficient than traditional heating or cooling systems because they move heat rather than generate it. They are environmentally friendly, as they can be powered by electricity from renewable sources. Heat pumps are increasingly popular for residential, commercial, and industrial applications as part of efforts to reduce energy consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. In regions with extremely cold temperatures, it's essential to consider the specific requirements and features of the heat pump system. Some advanced heat pump models are designed to operate efficiently in colder conditions, incorporating technologies like variable-speed compressors and improved defrost cycles to enhance performance. Overall, advancements in heat pump technology continue to address the challenges of cold climates, making them viable and energy-efficient heating solutions even in regions with harsh winter conditions. Regular maintenance and proper sizing of the heat pump system are crucial to ensure optimal performance, regardless of the climate.

Grasses for Butterflies

When you picture a butterfly garden, you probably envision big, colorful flowers. But did you know that over 100 butterfly species in Texas use native grasses and sedges as their larval host plants? In this episode, Leah makes the case for adding grasses to your pollinator garden. The majority of grass-obligate butterflies – skippers and satyrs—are small, brown, and understudied. Leah argues that our aesthetic preference for the “charismatic megafauna” of the world of Lepidoptera has created a blind spot for conservationists and gardeners alike, and this spells bad news for little brown butterflies. This leads us down a philosophical rabbit hole, so we bring in rhetorician Eric Dieter (Colleen's husband) to discuss the role of aesthetic biases, gaps in scholarly literature, and data collection in contributing to the problem of ecological “unknown unknowns.” Then we talk about one researcher who is studying this topic, Diane Narem, and cover her recommendations for using native grasses and sedges to support a more diverse butterfly habitat. Mentioned: Butterfly Gardening For the South by Geyata Ajilvsgi (Taylor, 1990); “St. Augustine grass” (Stenotaphrum secundatum) by Richard L. Duble (Texas Cooperative Extension, A&M); “Native Plant Myth Number One” by Shirley Denton (Florida Native Plant Society blog, 2013) “Meadows for Home Gardens: More Than Just Wildflowers” by Craig Huegel (Palmetto, the Quarterly Journal of the Florida Native Plant Society, 2020); “Mitigating The Effects Of Climate Change On Grassland Butterflies” by Angela Laws (Xerces Society, September 2020); “Satyrinae” (nymphalidae.net); Native Host Plants for Texas Butterflies by Jim Weber, Lynne Weber, and Roland H Wauer (2nd printing, A&M Press 2021); Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium); Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center's Native Plant Information Network; National Wildlife Federation's Native Plants Finder; “The Importance of a Rare Butterfly” by Diane Narem (TEDxBrookings, 2014); Gardening with Native Grasses in Cold Climates and a Guide to the Butterflies They Support by Daine Narem and Mary Hockenberry Meyer (ebook from University of Minnesota 2020).

Lee is a big fan of Figs (Ficus carica) and in this episode we learn how to successfully propagate, grow, and harvest this ancient plant. Lee explains why it's a challenge to know how many varieties of Figs there really are and shares his tips about how to keep your Fig trees healthy and happy. Figs are unique in the fruit world. Did you know that when you eat a Fig, you aren't eating a fruit? A fig is really a syconium (or synconium), a part of a stem that expands into a sac containing flowers. Luckily for us, Fig syconiums are so delicious! Although, Figs are a true Mediterranean plant, they are adaptable and resilient. Those who live in colder climates, rejoice! You can successfully grow Figs and enjoy your own delicious syconiums. :) Lee shares some of his many methods for Fig growing in cold regions, including growing them in pots, overwintering them in greenhouses and basements, and pruning them so their low growing arms are very close to the ground. Learn more about these techniques in depth in Lee's book Growing Figs in Cold Climates. A former plant and soil researcher for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Cornell University, Lee's books include Weedless Gardening, Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden, and Growing Figs in Cold Climates.

Many of these cold-hardy bamboos are in the gemus Phyllostachys or Fargesia.Bamboos in the former are “running” bamboos. Hornaday says most cold-hardy bamboos are running bamboos…those fast-spreading types that gardeners either love or hate. But the Fargesia bamboos are clumping, making them desirable for gardeners not interested in containing their bamboo patch.Bamboo as an Agricultural CropHornaday is hearing from a lot of people interested in farming bamboo commercially in North America. At the moment, he says, there's a need for processing infrastructure. Farmers growing bamboo for commercial processing could also harvest shoots as a specialty food crop.As a perennial crop that can grow on marginal land, it can be used to stabilize soil.

How to produce fresh food year-round, even in cold climates! With Pam Dawling, author of “The Year-Round Hoop House”

In the first half of this interview I spoke with Pam Dawling, the author of “The Year-Round Hoop House'' about the most important information about siting, building, irrigating and soil care for extending crop growing in hoop houses. I tap in to Pam's extensive knowledge of feeding 100 people in the Twin Oaks Intentional Community in Virginia, mostly from her 30' by 100' hoop house and the details of that particular setup. In the second half of the interview we turn to a topic that so many of you listeners have written to me about, and that's communal living. These days there's a renewed interest in ecovillages, intentional communities, and various configurations of communities like that. Many of you who've been listening for a while know that I've been fascinated by these dynamics and community configurations for a long time too. Pam gives great insights about her personal motivations for moving to a communal living situation as well as the decision making structure, and many other dynamics that have kept Twin Oaks together since its creation in 1967. Though we recorded this interview a while ago, there's a lot of relevant information to the current world pandemic situation in that we talk a lot about the resilience and security inherent to land based and semi autonomous living. I want to also send a quick message of solidarity to all of you around the world who have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak and economic impact of the response. As I'm recording this we're in the second day of a nationwide quarantine here in Spain where all but essential services and businesses are closed for a two week minimum in order to halt the infection rates. Now more than ever we have an opportunity to rethink the way our communities and lifestyles are configured and how they interact with the environments immediately around us and around the world. In times like these it's impossible not to see how every part of the planet is connected and how all of our actions, habits, lifestyles and consumption affect everyone else, more directly than ever. To prevent tragedies like this from becoming the new norm we urgently need to restore our damaged environment and work to create earth-wide resilience by regenerating the foundations of our food chains in the form of soil and water resources from which all other life is derived. We must find a way to create societies and cultures based on the care and creation of life in all its forms, not just our own. This unfortunate epidemic can serve as a positive event if it becomes the wake-up-call that inspires massive action on a global scale to completely reinvent the way our economies are structured from those based on resource extraction to those based on resource creation and stewardship. Many of us who have benefitted from the sequestration of wealth from around the world to afford us our comfort and relative abundance, including myself, have the choice to use this privilege to lift other people and other forms of life up, even though it means we compromise our own comfort and ease of living. On a more personal note, I truly hope that this message finds all of you in good health and in good company. We need each other. We need community. You're not in this alone. If any of you feel like reaching out through the comments on the website or by email, I would love to hear what you find inspiring and uplifting in these difficult times.
