VISIT OUR SPONSOR: The British Shop transports fine art, furniture and antiques by air, land and sea around the world. David Hockney once said “Art has to move you” and The British Shop offers a service which moves ART AND ANTIQUES with attentive care delivering delicate items around the world. Whether you're shipping an entire container or you need to ship via consolidation – The British Shop is your solution for shipping antiques from Europe to the USA (or wherever else you happen to be located when listening to this podcast). Schedule a CALL with Malcom Disson of The British Shop by visiting their website https://thebritishshop.com/ (https://thebritishshop.com/). Tell them you heard about them on the Business of Antiques Podcast to receive a special offer on your Insurance for your delivery! When you're running a small business there is one secret to success - surround yourself with people who know you more than you do. On this episode Toma Clark Haines, CEO of The Antiques Diva & Co and Founder of The Republic of Toma, is talking with Jason Roske of KC Auction Company https://www.kcauctioncompany.com/ (https://www.kcauctioncompany.com/). She starts the conversation with a confession - she is almost an auction house virgin! Jason has over 20 years of experience in estate liquidation, buying and selling fine art and antiques, and helping clients through the auctioning process. And Jason teaches Toma all the ins and outs of teaching at auction as well as gives fabulous marketing advice to antique dealers. Auction Houses are a great source for antiques dealers when it comes to sourcing antiques, art, estate jewelry, and so much more. Because KC Auction Company handles estates and private collections, they have incredible access to things that have remained in families for generations - giving you as a dealer access to never before seen inventory. For buyers at auction, Jason reminds clients that all items are sold as is, so it's important to do your homework before you buy. He encourages buyers to read the full catalog description, to visit the preview in person whenever possible, or to contact the auction house for a condition report before bidding. Remember auction houses don't take returns. He explains the fine print, and auction fees and who is responsible for paying which fee, ie, the buyer is responsible for a buyer's premium, which is a fee that is added to the hammer price. Each auction house has its own premium percentage and scale, but industry standards are normally around 20 percent. Buyers are also responsible for paying sales tax as well as any applicable delivery or shipping costs. Jason also explains that as the owner of an auction house, he has both clients and customers - when it comes to marketing that's serving two proverbial masters. This is similar to The Antiques Diva & Co in that as an antique buying tour company we work with both our dealers selling inventory to our clients as well as our buyers. For our antique dealer listeners they have to juggle their marketing relationships with both retail and the trade. Marketing to two audiences can be extremely difficult, but Jason has navigated it by putting communication first - in educating your buyer, setting realistic expectations among the seller, and communicating with all clients. He explains that at core while he may run an auction company - his service is marketing. And he explains why marketing is the most important thing you as an antiques dealer can do. In another edition of #AsktheShipper, Toma talks with Malcom Disson - Managing Director of http://www.thebritishshop.com (The British Shop) - about how shipping costs are calculated. Of course, each case is unique, but there are a few factors that go into determining the shipment of your antiques. The concentration of locations will greatly affect the cost - the more locations, the higher the cost. An additional factor that can increase your cost is your final destination. If more

"I don't know why I keep getting this kind, but I'm pretty excited. Number four is: THE GREAT STINK. I love that this was a literal period of time ... over a two month period [in July and August of 1858] of extreme heat, the smell of human waste that had been dumped into the river Thames intensified and flooded the city of London ... Sometimes I forget how much I love indoor plumbing."On this week's episode of The Eclectec Company, Dad & Daughter discover a Buzzfeed article citing 24 of the weirdest Wikipedia pages. So of course the have to check it out. And hilarity ensues.This week's question from 3000 Questions About Me : "What's the best excuse you've given or would give to a bill collector?"TWITTER  @EclectecCompanyINSTAGRAM  EclectecCompanyTIKTOK EclectecCompanyEMAIL  the.eclectec.company@gmail.com

"Who knows, right? Things happen all the time in our normal three-dimensional space-time world that seem weird, but they happen. The probability was unlikely that it would happen, but it wasn't zero. And it happened. So, it makes me think about this idea that one era's wizard is the next era's scientist. And it reminds me of that book we read together [called] 'Off To Be The Wizard'. It is so very that."This time, the Dad and the Daughter visit the Redditor-recommended Wikipedia page titled "The 1593 Transported Soldier Legend" and give their thoughts on a variety of topics relating to the legend including--but not limited to--teleportation, tequila, quantum physics, 2D space vs 3D space vs 4D space, and even people's willingness to accept new evidence and facts about our world.This week's question from 3000 Questions About Me : "When you were a kid, did you have any posters on your wall, and if you did, what were they?"TWITTER  @EclectecCompanyINSTAGRAM  EclectecCompanyTIKTOK EclectecCompanyEMAIL  the.eclectec.company@gmail.com

Larry Sickman started Lakes Supply Co (@lakessupplyco)  to bring custom-crafted designs directly to those who love lake life: cabin owners, lake homeowners, anglers, watersports, and camping enthusiasts, or anybody that has fun on or around their favorite lake. It all started when his family went to the North Shore and he wanted a unique shirt to commemorate the trip. All of the shirts felt cookie-cutter, and when he found one that he liked when he returned to work after his trip, a co-worker had the identical shirt.Support the showFollow the Makers of Minnesota on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @MakersofMN.

"According to Dexter himself: 'My name is Lord Timothy Dexter... and I am the first man of the east and the west and the north and of the south, and I am the greatest philosopher of the world... and none but myself could be my parallel.' Yet according to his contemporaries: 'His intellectual endowments not being of the most exalted stump.'"On this week's episode, Eric the Dad and Lauren the Daughter jump down the rabbit-hole called "Timothy Dexter."

"[If I could send a message to each person privately in their mind] it would be something something to the effect of : Relax, breathe, whatever you're doing, whatever you're mad about, it's gonna be fine, just deal with it.I think it's an admirable answer that Brad gave. But what I think is interesting is that...Brad gave his answer even knowing that no one else would hear this advice. It's this idea that 'who you really are is determined by what you do when no one else is around.' Intent is important."This week features our SECOND-EVER guest, Brad. Brad is a good friend of Eric's (the Dad). Together with Lauren (the Daughter), the three discuss a number of topics ranging from Brad's book recommendations to cryptocurrency to how Brad and Eric met, and even Brad's advice to his fellow man.

"I m just gonna say that this play doesn't NOT not sound Shakespearean... And I feel as though reality TV has been around a lot longer than TV. This is a soap opera. I'm pretty sure 'The Young and the Restless' already stole this episode...

The Mountaintop by Katori Hall is a gripping two-person drama about the last day of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In the play, King is alone in his hotel room when he is joined by Camae, a maid who works for the Lorraine Motel. What follows is a reflective, often funny, often touching conversation in which Dr. King examines his achievements, his failures, and his unfinished dreams.

"I can tell you as an English teacher that a source of great frustration is that in many cases money is an obstacle in getting books in the hands of kids. And that's just incredibly messed up. So these [free mini libraries] are a cool little project that people can build and support in an effort to get books in people's hands."On this week's episode, the Dad (Eric) discusses the topic of "Public Bookcases"--the number one trending Wikipedia page at the moment according to creditors--with his Daughter (Lauren). The discussion weaves in and out of the topic itself as well as other ideas of charity, ebooks, and dad&daughter projects.This week's question from 3000 Questions About Me : "Which talent would you most like to have?"TWITTER  @EclectecCompanyINSTAGRAM  EclectecCompanyTIKTOK EclectecCompanyEMAIL  the.eclectec.company@gmail.com

On the topic of sailor superstitions: "It's considered good luck to have the cowl of a newborn child to prevent anyone (of the sailors) from drowning. And at first I thought they were talking about a woman's cowl--like a cowl from a cloak--but it's actually the amniotic membrane around a newborn child. So I guess you're just out getting supplies for [your sea voyage] and you're like 'Crap! I need the amniotic sack of a newborn infant!' Well, I guess that's what alchemy shops are for, right?"With this episode, Daughter (Lauren) and Dad (Eric) answer one of the "3000 Questions" and then let the redditors of the wikipedia subreddit choose the topic of this week's episode.This week, the main topic they discuss is sailor's superstitions.This week's question from 3000 Questions About Me : "On what occasions do you lie?"TWITTER  @EclectecCompanyINSTAGRAM  EclectecCompanyTIKTOK EclectecCompanyEMAIL  the.eclectec.company@gmail.com

On the topic of video games history: "In the summer of 1979 my friend Jim got an Atari, and that was huge because first of all, that was the first time I had ever seen video games in color! And second of all, it wasn't just one game... the cartridge had been invented... and you could change the game you were playing... the home console came into play."In this week's episode, Lauren and Eric share with each other and the listeners their very first memories of video games. Eric (the Dad) starts his journey in the late 1970's, and Daughter Lauren begins hers in the mid 90's. Main frame computers playing tic tac toe on main frame room-sized computers. "Computer time" in the classroom. The origin of the video game home consoles. Launching controllers across the room in frustration.

On the topic of Tribalism (kind of... LOL): "The idea that politicians  [are the leaders] and run the way things go is absolutely bonkers.  If you think about the things that have actually improved the quality of human life, it's always been NOT religion, NOT government, it's been technology... Even if politicians were sincere in wanting to make things better for people, these aren't the people we need to go to solve our problems... it's the scientists, the engineers, you could even say the philosophers and the artists are the ones that have brought about improvements."This week, Lauren aka The Daughter talks to her Dad about her vision for a money-less society and how the world can move towards being more of a single tribe. Eric, the Dad, offers both agreement on some points and disagreement on others. Some questions get answered and new ones are created, a common byproduct of the duo's discussions.Inspiration-of-the-Week = Kamala Harris, the first woman Vice President of the USATip-of-the-Week = Being kind makes you feel betterTWITTER  @EclectecCompanyINSTAGRAM  EclectecCompanyTIKTOK EclectecCompanyEMAIL  the.eclectec.company@gmail.com

The idea for Hairless Dog Brewing Co. occurred, appropriately, over a cup of coffee. Jeff Hollander and Paul Pirner had been friends for many years but had recently reconnected at a holiday party at which both were abstaining. Though the pair had been fans of the craft beer scene, they realized that there really wasn't much to enjoy in the NA realm so they decided to rectify that and started Hairless Dog Brewing.Hear their story here and...Grab yourself the Dry January Survival Kit here.Find the Hairless Dog Spotify list here:Support the showFollow the Makers of Minnesota on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @MakersofMN.

On the topic of Egyptology: "So Wikipedia and Britannica essentially define Egyptology is the study of all things ancient Egypt... Egypt from around 5000 B.C. to around 400 A.D.... when they essentially became a province of Rome... and [this discipline includes] the history [of Egypt], the language, their religion, the art & architecture, and their literature."During this week's episode,  Eric the Dad & Lauren the Daughter talk about their mutual fascination and love of Egyptology. The Dad shares the story of why and how he initially became interested in the subject, as does the Daughter. After a quick overview of what Egyptology is, they discuss everything from Egyptian history to Egyptian religion to Egyptian language and literature.Inspiration-of-the-Week = The entrepreneurial spirt in AmarilloTip-of-the-Week = A trick you can use to re-inspire yourself about something you have lost your inspiration to doTWITTER  @EclectecCompanyINSTAGRAM  EclectecCompanyTIKTOK EclectecCompanyEMAIL  the.eclectec.company@gmail.com

On the topic of astrology: "[A birth chart] kind of makes me go back to that darkroom metaphor... When you create an image on paper with a projector, you usually have this image that is like the negative... And so you are  projecting light through that and you are creating this image, BUT while it's being projected you can manipulate that image. You do have free will to change some stuff but you still have to work within the confines of this thing."This week, Dad & Daughter have a discussion about the usefulness of astrology and birth charts. In preparation for the discussion, Lauren (the Daughter) had her Dad download an app and input his birth information, as well as browse a couple of websites.
