For over two decades, Caliban has stood as one of the defining forces in metalcore. With their upcoming album ‘Back from Hell' that is scheduled for a release 25th April 2025, the German band continues to evolve their sound while staying true to the intensity and emotion that have defined their career. Led by founding members Andreas Dörner (vocals) and Marc Görtz (guitar), the band's current lineup includes new vocalist and bassist Iain Duncan, whose clean vocals, songwriting skills and diverse perspective and experience bring a fresh dimension to their already powerful dynamic. Complemented by longtime drummer Patrick Grün and guitarist Denis Schmidt, Caliban's formidable lineup is poised to deliver a relentless and emotionally charged experience that reaffirms their status as metalcore pioneers. Back From Hell explores themes of inner struggle, resilience, and catharsis, blending their signature crushing riffs and guttural vocals with atmospheric melodies and modern production. We spoke to Marc and Iain about the new album, digging into the detail around it and how it came to be. We speak about the time, the effort, the energy, and everything else that went into it and how to move forward, they had to embrace aspects of their past. Caliban's future has never looked brighter.

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch, and we give you proper motorcycle clutch break-in procedures to ensure a good working and long-lasting clutch. Most riders buy their new bike and just ride and don't truly break it in. I recommend breaking your clutch in correctly to widen your clutch friction zone and ensure durability. For those unfamiliar with the term, the friction zone is the critical area where the clutch plates are neither fully engaged nor disengaged. Some riders might call it “dragging the clutch.” Mastering control within this zone is crucial for maneuvering your motorcycle, particularly at lower speeds. Experienced riders, like police officers, frequently operate within this zone to navigate challenging courses, which directly translates to safer street riding. Check out my motorcycle clutch break-in video HERE. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Given the shift to cable clutches by Harley, we can still optimize the setup. Harley incorporates a plastic adjuster along the cable line, essentially an automatic adjuster. However, this system lacks the flexibility for riders to fine-tune play or engagement preferences. Fortunately, I've discovered a solution in the form of the Fat Baggers EZ Clutch Adjustor Upgrade. This aftermarket product replaces the stock plastic adjuster with a more durable metal counterpart, enabling precise external adjustments for clutch lever positioning. We carry these clutch adjusters right in the Law Abiding Biker Store. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! I outfitted my Harleys, including my Police Electra Glide, with a hydraulic system featuring the esteemed PSR Adjustable Clutch Lever. Complemented by the matching adjustable PSR brake lever, these components empower me to fine-tune my clutch lever, achieving precise engagement exactly where I desire it off the grip. For riders seeking similar control and comfort enhancements, a range of PSR adjustable clutch and brake levers are readily available at the Law Abiding Biker Store.

Renowned producer and host Bryan Wade, drawing from his personal journey marked by adversity, has dedicated himself to illuminating the intricate tapestry of American life, transcending racial and socioeconomic barriers. With over two decades of experience in radio, television, and documentary production, Wade's work has consistently aimed at providing an equitable portrayal of diverse experiences across the nation. His acclaimed television series, "Worlds Apart," which aired from 1997 to 2008, delved into the complexities of race in America, challenging prevailing social constructs and stereotypes. Following this success, Wade embarked on a documentary project initially focused on the National Civil War Museum, evolving into the expansive "Keystones Oral Histories," now broadcasted on WITF and PBS stations nationwide. Driven by a vision of fostering dialogue and understanding, Wade's documentary series, launched in 2017, sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of marginalized communities throughout history. Complemented by K-12 curriculum materials, meticulously aligned with educational standards, the initiative aims to broaden students' perspectives and promote inclusivity in learning. In collaboration with Ruby Media, the forthcoming installment of "Keystones" will spotlight the pivotal role of diverse populations in the Underground Railroad network across south-central Pennsylvania. With a focus on the collaborative efforts of Quakers, white and Black abolitionists, and conductors, the documentary underscores the grassroots origins of the civil rights movement. To ensure historical accuracy, Wade has enlisted the expertise of regional historians, including George F. Nagle and Calobe Jackson Jr., among others, for in-depth research. In the face of challenges to comprehensive historical education, Wade's commitment to dismantling racial barriers and fostering unity remains steadfast. By encouraging viewers to recognize shared humanity beyond superficial divisions, he aspires to forge a more inclusive and harmonious society.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Harmonic Egg creates an environment of sound and light frequencies that envelop the subject, promoting relaxation and deep healing. It can reset the autonomic nervous system allowing for the body to then to heal itself. When a person enters the egg-shaped chamber, they are surrounded by a symphony of carefully chosen harmonious frequencies, including light colors, sacred geometry, and resonant sound therapy. By harmonizing the energy centers of the body, known as chakras, it facilitates a deep state of relaxation and balance. Through the synchronization of brainwaves and the stimulation of the body's natural healing mechanisms, the Harmonic Egg aims to enhance overall well-being and bring about a sense of wholeness and rejuvenation. In addition, Charles Monroe Jr. has introduced an additional tool called the Bio-Well device to complement the therapy offered by the Harmonic Egg. The Bio-Well is a technology that uses a specialized camera to capture and analyze the body's energy field, known as the biofield. It provides valuable insights into a person's emotional, mental, and physical states and can identify potential imbalances or areas of concern. By integrating the Bio-Well device with the Harmonic Egg therapy, Charles Monroe Jr. is able to offer a comprehensive and personalized healing experience. This combination allows the facilitator to track and measure the progress of each individual's energy field, helping them better understand their well-being and tailor the therapy accordingly. In summary, the Harmonic Egg, with the guidance of Charles Monroe Jr., is an innovative therapy that employs sound and light frequencies to promote deep relaxation, balance, and healing. Complemented by the Bio-Well device, this holistic approach aims to provide individuals with a unique and transformative experience, fostering harmony in the mind, body, and spirit. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/karmahubb/message

Wind Spirit will activate the new technology as soon as it's available in French Polynesia.Currently, all Windstar Cruises use geostationary satellite service, Anuvu, for internet services. The addition of Starlink technology will amplify Anuvu, delivering more reliable and faster internet to Windstar's guests. Starlink is the world's first and largest satellite constellation with a low Earth orbit using lasers so communication can happen further away from ground based stations.Starlink will be available on select Windstar voyages where the service is active; not all global destinations are available. maritime-coverage-map.pdf (starlink.com)World's only luxury icebreaker Le Commandant Charcot arrives in New Zealand for the first timePonant's Le Commandant Charcot was welcomed into New Zealand waters, the halfway point of a round Antarctic journey from Argentina, marking the first time the world's only luxury icebreaker has sailed the antipodes.After the overnight stop in Lyttelton, on the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island, the polar high exploration vessel, which is the only of its kind in the world, today sets off on the reverse itinerary. The ship will retrace its path all the way to Ushuaia, taking travellers on a half-circumnavigation of Antarctica via the Ross Sea, the world's largest protected marine area.Eco-designed and at the cutting-edge of technology, Le Commandant Charcot is the most ground-breaking ship in the Ponant fleet with its hybrid electric Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) propulsion system, a major innovation aligned with the company's commitment to sustainable tourism.The Polar Class – PC2 ship was designed with the highest attention in mind in terms of safety, comfort and respect for the environment in order to sail and explore the extreme and far-reached territories of the Arctic and the Antarctic, in complete self-sufficiency.

The recognition is made more wonderful as Celebrity's ships join an elite and exclusive group of fewer than 20 land-based properties with over 1,000 rooms in the world to ever receive the coveted recognition.FTG is the global authority on luxury hospitality and the only global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and now, the new ocean cruise category. Their professional inspectors travel the world to anonymously evaluate the finest hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruise ships based on hundreds of exacting standards that determine their annual Star Ratings.The five inaugural resorts at sea Star-Rated ships are Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Flora, Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Summit. The remainder of the line's 15-ship fleet will be evaluated in the year ahead, except for the line's smaller Galapagos ships.The newly Star-rated Celebrity ships represent three of the line's class of ships, including:Edge Series – As avant-garde as the name implies, these ships have been hailed as architectural masterpieces, introducing a plethora of industry firsts on a cruise ship, such as an outward-facing resort deck, the world's first cantilevered floating bar known as the The Magic Carpet®, luxurious new state rooms like the two-story Edge Villas with private plunge pools, and more. Celebrity ApexSM (2021) and Celebrity Edge® (2018) remain among the most highly awarded ships at sea, even being named to TIME Magazine's “World's Greatest Places.”Millennium Series – Offering a more intimate cruising experience with just over 1,000 staterooms each, both Celebrity Millennium®and Celebrity Summit®were part of the line's biggest fleet-wide modernisation in 2019, with more than $500 million in luxurious upgrades made.Mega-Yacht – Celebrity Flora® is an exclusive 100-passenger luxury mega-yacht designed specifically and purposefully for expeditions in the Galapagos and built to merge with its surroundings. With all-natural materials, she introduced a state-of-the-art positioning system allowing the ship to remain stationary without dropping anchors to further protect the seabed and solar panels making it one of the most eco-friendly ships sailing anywhere. Fully immersing travellers with the destination, all itineraries are led by certified naturalists from the Galapagos Natural Park.A-ROSA will offer included excursion from 2023In the 2023 season, the upgraded Premium All Inclusive fare offers guests on A-ROSA ships even more individuality, flexibility and locality. An included excursion with a culinary evening experience on board will be an added new element allowing guests to experience a destination with all their senses.For a more intimate discovery of the cities visited, all guests on voyages of 7 nights or longer can join an excursion, which is already included in the price of the cruise. The excursions are guided city tours in destinations such as the Slovak capital Bratislava, the futuristic Linz or the old papal residence Avignon. Along the Rhine, guests can discover Koblenz, Hoorn, Dordrecht or Bernkastel-Kues together with a guide, whereas Seine departures will offer an opportunity to follow Richard the Lionheart's tracks in Les Andelys. During the included excursions, the focus is on experiencing the respective destination and country. Valuable knowledge about its people, life and history can be learned. Thanks to central berths, the informative tours will usually start in the city centre.Complemented are these excursions by a culinary evening on board, also entirely dedicated to the region. Starting with an aperitif and canapés in the A-ROSA Lounge, all guests can then enjoy a gourmet buffet with many local specialities in the Market Restaurant.Service Dog Earns Top Pooch Status with Carnival Carnival Cruise Line has a unique new member joining the top ranks of its loyalty club – a retired U.S. Army service dog named Sarge.While sailing on Carnival Celebration last week, Sarge reached Diamond status of the Very Important Fun Person (VIFP) Club – though in this case, the “P” could also stand for “pooch.”The 14-year-old Belgian Malinois just completed his 55th cruise and was honoured during Carnival Celebration's Platinum and Diamond loyalty event, for spending more than 200 nights at sea.Sarge spent most of his life serving in the military, and now lives and travels with his owner, Justin Marcum, Sr., who is also a Diamond member of Carnival's VIFP Club.Carnival's VIFP Club offers a variety of exciting benefits and perks to the line's most loyal guests. Members have access to a special web portal, where enjoy members-only specials, promotions and other offers.Seven Ports and Places Where Smaller is Better (and allowed).Dubrovnik has capped the number of cruise ships that can visit each day and has limited the maximum number of passengers to 8,000. Venice has restricted the size of vessels that can visit the port and go through the Grand Canal, the main waterway of Venice. Windstar Cruises is able to visit the port due to its small size and sail through the scenic Grand Canal channel.Bar Harbor has limited the number of guests monthly and daily that can visit the port (note that legal action is pending). Key West has been looking to limit cruise ship visits and which port berths are available for use. French Polynesia has banned cruise ships with capacity greater than 3,500 passengers from making port calls in the country. Ships over 2,500 passengers are allowed to dock in Tahiti and Moorea; however, tiny Bora Bora allows just 1,200 cruise passengers per day. Windstar has been sailing in Tahiti for more than 35 years, and no other cruise line knows the islands, or rules, like them. Both Windstar's 148 motorized sailing yacht (which was tailor-made for cruising Tahiti's islands) and 312-guest all-suite yacht sail there, accessing Bora Bora, Raiatea, Moorea, and others. Santorini, Greece is limited to 8,000 passengers ashore per day. Some ships have been forced to change itineraries as a result.Juneau is moving to only allowing five ships to dock a day, with no ship able to anchor over a certain passenger count and no “hot berthing,” i.e., when two ships occupy the same berth at different times during the day.

The constraints on the global and local supply of critical components, compounded by numerous logistics issues, has made 2022 a challenging one for the ICT industry. Although industry players have made every effort to deliver, when there are no parts there really are no parts! TechCentral's Impact Series jumped into conversation with Riaan Graham, sales director of sub-Saharan Africa at Ruckus Networks, and Eugene Botes, product manager at Pinnacle Datanet, for a frank discussion about where the industry's going headed into 2023. The good news, Graham and Botes say, is that we are likely to leapfrog certain technologies as an unintended consequence of the supply constraints and that 2023 will be a better year for us all. Not sunshine and roses, but better. Production has realigned with demand; the backlogs in supply chains have eased; and balance is being restored. An example of an unintended consequence is that companies that had been planning the shift to Wi-Fi 6 may be lucky they had to sit it out. Wi-Fi 6 and 6E (also known as the wireless standard 802.11ax) promised big improvements in wireless Internet speeds. But Wi-Fi 7 is already around the corner, says Graham, promising even more: greater efficiencies in network delivery and wireless transmission, and a greater ability to augment AI and robotic digitisation initiatives. Find out more about Ruckus Networks' solutions here. Complemented by numerous peripheral services and efficiencies, such as cloud-managed services and the ability to support the increasing risk of network users wanting to bring their own devices (BYOD) onto enterprise networks safely, Ruckus will specify, develop and deliver Wi-Fi 7 solutions. Botes emphasises the importance of planning now and applying a well-scoped logic to what ultimately is a unique set of product offerings that Ruckus can provide.

Using measurements from space to help Irish farmers manage their farms may sound like science fiction but it's actually science fact. Real-time information about soil moisture is an essential tool for farmers when planning and managing the efficient use of their land and a VistaMilk study is using satellites in earth's orbit to collect that information. The research project is utilising imagery from the Europe Space Agency's Sentinel satellites to map soil moisture in Ireland, with the capability of focusing in on areas as small as 10 square metres. The data gathered could be used to help farmers make decisions about which fields to allow their livestock feed while maintaining optimal grazing and grass growth, which fields require drainage or even wetting, and potentially when to add or reduce use of fertilisers and slurry. Rumia Basu, a VistaMilk PhD student from Teagasc, at the University of Galway, who is running the project said: “The importance of understanding the soil moisture levels both historically and on a given day is an essential part of daily farming, particularly as decisions made can impact not only production outputs but also the environment. The models we are developing that will provide real-time information to assist farmers in their decision making is leading-edge and – due to Ireland's climate – quite unique. “Using high-resolution satellite radar data which is available in all weather, day or night, combined with optical observation data allows us to provide daily information that one day we hope will be available on an app that farmers can use on what we know to be one of their most valuable pieces of equipment – their phones. As we are able to home in on an area as small as 10 metres square, we will be able to provide farmers with data on a field-by-field basis.” According to VistaMilk, the satellite soil moisture data has the potential to become part of the farm management toolkit which will help Irish farmers manage their farms more efficiently and in an increasingly environmentally friendly way. Pat Tuohy, Funded investigator, VistaMilk, said “As well as daily moisture reports we can also look back at historical data to identify areas of a farm that are adversely affected by prolonged periods of wet or dry weather. This will inform farmers where land management strategies may be required. “Complemented by weather forecasting data the information could potentially influence decisions on where, when and how to apply fertilisers and slurry and what interventions may be required to prevent runoff from the land into watercourses. “The satellite data could also influence other research projects. For example, there is ongoing research into carbon sequestration levels on Irish farms. The possibility of combining results from such projects – as well as others looking at grass growth, for example – could give us a picture of how best to manage soils to increase carbon absorption without affecting productivity. “Four years on, since the VistaMilk Research Centre was created, it is encouraging to see that our research is making a real contribution to ensuring a sustainable future for dairy farming in Ireland, preserving a traditional way of life, providing significant employment, and making a considerable contribution to the Irish economy. “ A podcast about Rumia Basu's ongoing research can be found at/ More about Irish Tech News Irish Tech News are Ireland's No. 1 Online Tech Publication and often Ireland's No.1 Tech Podcast too.

On this week's episode of Inside Outside Innovation, we sit down with Ben McDougal, Author of You Don't Need This Book: Entrepreneurship in the Connected Era. Ben and I talk about his portfolio-based career in entrepreneurship from founder to 1 Million Cups organizer, to his current role as entrepreneur In residence and ecosystem developer with Techstars Iowa. Let's get started.Inside Outside Innovation is the podcast to help new innovators navigate what's next. Each week, we'll give you a front row seat into what it takes to learn, grow, and thrive in today's world of accelerating change and uncertainty. Join us as we explore, engage and experiment with the best and the brightest innovators, entrepreneurs, and pioneering businesses. Let's get started.Interview Transcript with Ben McDougal, Author of You Don't Need This BookBrian Ardinger: Welcome to another episode of Inside Outside Innovation. I'm your host, Brian Ardinger. And as always, we have another amazing guest. Today we have Ben McDougal. He is author of the new book, You Don't Need This Book: Entrepreneurship and the Connected Era. Welcome to the show. Ben. Ben McDougal: Thanks, Brian. It's great to catch up with a friend and looking forward to connecting with your audience.Brian Ardinger: Absolutely. You and I have known each other for a number of years in the startup ecosystem building world. You hang out in Iowa. And I hang out here in Nebraska. It's been fun to see your journey. You joined Techstars Iowa as kind of a hybrid role as an entrepreneur residence and ecosystem development person. So how did you get involved in startup ecosystem development? Ben McDougal: Thanks, Brian. Yeah, I've always been an entrepreneur. I came out of school, admittedly, thinking that we got expensive pieces of paper to go build someone else's dream. But startup, wasn't a word back in 2004. I got a computer science degree wanting to develop video games.And so looked at that industry. Which led me to web development. When I look back at it, it was pretty entrepreneurial. I mean, talking with endless different industries on how to build their business online. And so, while I was in somewhat of a traditional kind of business development role. I don't know what spawned the entrepreneurial spirit besides just recognizing an opportunity. So, I created a 3v3 soccer tournament. I had played soccer. I was in a web development shop and could make a nice live event come to life. Ended up having two years of that before selling it to a local soccer club, as we had launched a social network for gamers. It was interesting looking back using entrepreneurship to wedge myself into an industry I was always passionate about. But there's a whole community side that was emerging.And so built Jet Set Studio. It's still a small sliver of my career portfolio. Doing video game events around North America and building community in person and online. That was some of the early interactions of community building. I would stay in web development for eight years and retire out of that and go into another kind of traditional role inside the home building industry. Never really touched a hammer and kind of avoid manual labor, genuine.In that home building world, we found a disconnect between Home Builders and Realtors. So, we built an open house scheduler, knowing that it's not hard, but it's recurring when they're connecting that open house schedule. So that's Open Open. Alongside of that, that intrapreneurial spirit was fed with that parallel entrepreneurial spirit ended up building Flight Bright in the craft beer industry, which was an electronic beer flight paddle.It translated and continues to be that type of electronic serving system. But we added a beer festival app. And so that's Flight Bright and that story continues to be written. And you think about this diversified career portfolio that has a mixture of entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial activities. And the glue that brings it all together, along with myself is the community. Leaning into community and recognizing the energy of accelerating others.And so that's where you see my work in 1 Million Cups long ago. Like I was a part of a 1 Million Cups every Wednesday as an entrepreneur. But when the opportunity to lead emerged, I rose my hand. Got involved. That led to the chance of being a regional rep. So, we built this role to help support all of the different organizing teams across the United States.And so, I've been the Midwest regional rep now for the last four years. And that has been remarkable. Supporting and connecting 45 different 1 MC communities across 12 states, has created an awareness when it comes to entrepreneurial ecosystem building, at a rural, medium, and large size environment.Brian Ardinger: Absolutely. 1 Million Cups. I've mentioned this on the program, a number of different times, and I know a lot of people in the entrepreneurial startup side have maybe heard of 1 Million Cups. But on our corporate innovator side, it's, it's one of those programs that I think that more corporate innovators should become involved and that. Maybe give a little bit of background about 1 Million Cups and why that's so important, not only for the entrepreneurs in your community, but the companies and the other organizations.Ben McDougal: I think intrapreneurship at existing companies, small, medium, and large is a critical component to any entrepreneurial ecosystem. Having employees that are the champions of change for their existing company, plugging into community activities, helps them stay in front of the innovation curve. Fuels like their innovative energy. And creates opportunities to collaborate with entrepreneurs that in a way that helps their companies.And so, whether it's the energy. Kind of the network and human capital that can come from this type of active. All the way over to the financial capital and opportunities for those companies to benefit from their interactions with startups is real. One quick tactic, Brian, that catches my attention is larger companies treating activity within a startup community as volunteer hours.So, removing the barrier of PTO for someone who wants to go to 1 Million Cups on a Wednesday morning. Or to that startup event. Instead of restricting that type of activity by saying they need to take time off. It's celebrating that activity, knowing that while it's a little less time outside of the office, the energy, the activity, the connections, the progress that has made through that activity, benefits the company, perhaps even more. There's some value when you think about giving intrapreneurs, the freedom to explore their curiosity. Brian Ardinger: Absolutely. And that's one of the things that we talk about a lot is not only entrepreneurs have to get out of the building, but intrapreneurs as well. And you can't build anything without actually getting out there and trying things and testing things and being a part of the communities.We talk about this concept of a portfolio career and more and more folks I believe are going to have to be transitioning to this concept of, you know, you don't do just one job for 20 years of your life. It's a series of different side hustles and projects and people you work with and that. As an early adopter to this portfolio career type of lifestyle, what are some hints or suggestions you could make for people trying to transition into more of a portfolio type of approach?Ben McDougal: Yeah. The Diversified Career Portfolio is something that allows you to use energies from different activities to maximize the outputs. And sometimes that means it's the full-time job paired with a couple of side hustles. Complemented by some volunteer roles. Knowing that those kind of shapes within that pie chart, that's how I like to visualize it. Are always changing.And the interactions between them are something to be conscious of. And so they don't necessarily need to directly connect because they connect through you. And so, recognizing that even if they're different activities and completely different industries, that passion that you're feeding translates into good things for other areas within that pie chart.Another thing to always keep in mind is your personal bandwidth. I write about this in the book, a complete section for side hustles. And knowing that your personal bandwidth is something, if you can do a lot, then everyone's going to be asking to do a little. You know, and so all of a sudden you can potentially get diluted to mediocrity.And I think there's a good exercise of imagining that you have timed to swinging an ax 100 times. With those hundred swings, are you going to hit 100 trees once? Or perhaps a strategic collection, a few more times to make the impact. Knowing that it doesn't just need to be one tree. You might be able to make a positive impact on a collection of trees with those hundred swings, keeping your eye on that personal bandwidth as you add, or remove things from that career portfolio.And lastly, I think the value of transparency. There are other things to talk about here but being transparent with the way that you spend your time avoids the exhaustion of secrecy. And so, whether that's an entrepreneur sharing that side hustle with their boss and exploring that interest. Or it's easiest from the beginning, right. So, as you bring on a new project or enter a new contract, being very clear with the way that you spend your time, so that there's not tension down the road. Brian Ardinger: So, Ben, let's get into the book a little bit. It's called You Don't Need This Book: Entrepreneurship and The Connected Era. What made you decide to write a book? And give the audience a little bit of background about what they should expect from it?Ben McDougal: There was a time where I started to feel a sense of potential regret. I had enjoyed some fun ventures on my own. But really it was the stories from thousands of entrepreneurs that I had interacted with. Whether that was on my own journeys or within 1 Million Cups. And learning from these different perspectives and the activity of so many remarkable entrepreneurs, it became to the point where if I wasn't able to pass that on to my little one, right. My startup that pays in love that this experiential wisdom would just be lost. And so that was kind of my why. To synthesize everything that I understood about entrepreneurial. But specifically, within our connected era. Driven by community and the ability to do so much more with less, through the network of a global economy.And so, I crafted an outline. It sat on my phone for a while, and I was encouraged by Victor Wang to build into it when it started to keep me up at night. And that's where I had reached. And so crafted the manuscript. Had a beautiful forward by Victor, that explains that moment. But also, a contribution from Brad Feld in the very thick community chapter. Which is number two out of 10. I think it's such an important piece.And so, it's been called a nice guide for first-time founders and entrepreneurial ecosystem builders, exploring that professional field. Whether it's the ideation process right out of the gate, all the way through to what I would consider a wild card. And that is persistence. And so, you know, marketing is in between research, customer discovery, and like I mentioned, community. So, it's really provided a strong sense of peace and I'm so thankful for how it's coming from.Brian Ardinger: What I liked about the book is a lot of startup books are about the tactics of how do you increase your sales or grow XYZ. Yours brought in not only those tactical aspects, but also the bigger picture of it's not just about the entrepreneur. It's about the team they bring together. It's about the community that they have to support. And that are supporting their efforts. And it gave more of a holistic approach to what it means to be an entrepreneur, rather than just the blocking and tackling of the business side of things. Ben McDougal: Yeah. The amount of activities as an entrepreneur is kind of like everything, right. So, I talk about the term Career Nirvana. Which is where, you know, your work feels like play to you, but looks like work to others. It is in balance with your community, with the team that you're working within and with the life that you live. Entrepreneurship is not something that you learn. It's more of a lifestyle. It's more something that you just bring into your daily life. And the practice can be, become something that leads you to maybe the first time that you need to pivot, right. You either succeed or we learn. Not being afraid of failure, knowing that you're continuously optimizing that career portfolio to have the right slivers in that pie chart. And tweaking the size of each sliver along the way. So, I appreciate that, Brian. It's definitely fueled from learnings, from people like you. From remarkable entrepreneurs and community builders that have taught me so much.And it's been neat to hear their responses. Similar to what you shared. There's some heart within it that explores the tactics, but also some of the mindsets. Some of the community aspects, that will give you the resiliency to play longterm games with long-term people. Brian Ardinger: Great advice. You hung out with a ton of entrepreneurs. And you've seen them at the earliest stages and that. What are some of the biggest myths about entrepreneurship that you've uncovered or things that you wish that early-stage entrepreneurs would know earlier? Ben McDougal: You'll see it in the book. I call it the Headline Trap. We see entrepreneurs raising a million here and a kabillion there. Right. We see them in the media and that is a well-deserved and of course, an important recognition of people's own successes. But that can also become paralyzing for someone who feels as though they're not allowed to tinker. The opportunity of a side hustle or a startup, or even a full-time effort, doesn't always need to rely on financial capital or global impact in order to positively impact your life and your career portfolio. And so, giving the permission, that's not required, but sometimes needed in order for people to explore their passions. Without the weight of feeling like this has to have this huge global impact to make it something that really provides purpose and provides a sense of gratitude with someone's career portfolio. The way that they spend the limited time. And so, I think the Headline Trap and avoiding that is one way to get started now, instead of like the dreaded someday. Brian Ardinger: Yeah. Trying to line up the perfect plan and then launching the perfect plan is never the perfect way to make it happen. I mean, the plan is never going to be perfect from day one. You've got to go out and stub your toe and figure it out most of the time. You don't seem to have much fear from the standpoint of, you're always willing to try something. Swing a different bat. What gives you the confidence to do that? Or what have you learned that gives you confidence to step out in the unknown and try something different? Ben McDougal: I don't know if there's one thing that would be like, this is how I have become confident. I think it's a mixture of having stepped out and it doesn't hurt. It's exciting. You know, the enthusiasm of building something that you care about. And that can lead to the resiliency we've spoken about. You know, I think there would also be a collection of skills that give me confidence. And I write about that in the marketing chapter of You Don't Need This Book. Because it makes us dangerous as individuals. Linebacker doesn't play wide receiver. Right? So, recognizing your role. What you're good at and filling the gaps so that you're not cloning yourself when you're building as a team. Or working with contractors as lone wolf. But there are six skills that I think have given me a lot of confidence and abilities to build on my own, knowing that adding more fuel to the fire along the way is always possible.I start with writing. I think writing is a powerful skill that you can learn just by doing. I think of photography. Videography, not just taking the videos, but being able to stitch things together so that it's digestible and tells a story that connects to a broader narrative. Graphic design. Right? Bringing all those multimedia things together. Creativity, knowing that everyone can take a photo, but it's that angle or it's that ability to publish, is what separates with that creativity. Organization is another one that comes to mind and knowing that as you collect this mountain of media, being able to keep track of all of it in a good way is another valuable skill set.And then lastly, when it comes to content creation is just bringing it all together and recognizing that there's a practice in staying creative and building the content. So that you can create stories that sell and having the ability to do that on your own allows you to do a lot with a little, even if you don't plan to do all of it hands-on. You'll recognize what needs to be done for whatever the project is next. Brian Ardinger: You've been around in the Midwest Startup Ecosystem since the early days. You know, a lot of stuff that's happened in Iowa has gotten a lot of traction over the last four or five, six years. And now you're involved with Techstars and that. What are some of the trends that you're seeing when it comes to startups in the Midwest? And what are you most looking forward to?Ben McDougal: Yeah, so the Techstars role emerged from that community building that we talked about earlier. And I was already an entrepreneurial ecosystem builder. And so, when there was some room to get involved with the accelerator, I jumped at the opportunity to partner up with Techstars. And leaned into that Entrepreneur in Residence role paired with Ecosystem Development.And so while I'd always admired Techstars, this was a cool kind of side door to sneak into the rocket ship that is Techstars. And so, when you see these founders coming in, wherever they're from, and you start to think about the Midwest entrepreneur, I think that we could talk about things that everyone always talks about.Right. We don't have quite the access to people that are interested in getting risky with their financial capital. We can talk about some of the resources that may or may not be the same as some of the larger hubs like Boston or San Fran or some of the other ecosystems. But one of the things I find liberating is using a framework that we see in the Startup Community Way, by Brad Feld and Ian Hathaway, the Seven Capitals. And releasing ourselves from thinking that we have to have money. Okay. What do you have? Right. It's that abundance mindset and leaning into that holistic kind of positive sum approach to entrepreneurial ecosystem building. Allows us to use what we have to attract more of what we want.And so, I see a lot of entrepreneurs almost being set free. To think big. To build something that can be scalable. Not being afraid to tinker and fail, right. But also knowing that it's going to be a process. And one of the easiest things that I would say we have in the Midwest is almost natural. Give first mindset. Without preconception or without alternative motives.When I talk to someone, I almost have immediate, almost natural, positive, intent. That I want to see you succeed. That type of give first positive sum. If you win, we win approach is prevalent around the Midwest. And it allows us to do more with less through the connected era. And so, while there might be less of certain types of capital, in some cases, there are also more types of capital in the Midwest that allows people in rural, medium communities, and even the larger cities that we have throughout our Midwest region. Knowing that we can connect to the global community and make an impact no matter where we're at. Brian Ardinger: Yeah, I think it's so important and we see it every day. And you guys sent a message to some of the folks here in Lincoln saying, hey, we want to come out with Techstars to promote the fact that our applications are open. Can you set up some meetings and that? And you guys came out last week and toured some of our ecosystem. And we've done that back and forth over the years. And it's nice to have an ability and an environment that fosters that type of relationship that it's not just about keeping everything in my own backyard. Ben McDougal: It's still inviting. Cheers to that group that we enjoyed time with there in Omaha and also in Lincoln. And that type of interaction, like you said, is not uncommon. A couple of friends who want to show you around leads to an entire day of inspired activity. In fact, not knowing when you're listening to this, but our applications oddly enough, open today, Brian.And so, if you are building a team. You've got this startup and you're ready to scale. I did not come onto the conversation, planning to promote such a thing, but the applications are open and the Techstars experience is remarkable. It's really geared towards those who are looking to scale up. Maybe looking to raise venture capital in order to support a growing system. And the amount of mentors at a global level. The amount of give first and kind of Techstars for life. That culture is real. And our hybrid program allows folks to participate in Des Moines, Iowa, but also online throughout the hundred-day program. And boy seeing these entrepreneurs and their teams, and their companies emerge and raising serious capital and going on to continue to do big things is another way that I've energized my own career portfolio. Because I'll say it again, folks. The energy of accelerating others is unmatched. For More InformationBrian Ardinger: Absolutely. I appreciate you coming on Inside Outside Innovation to share your enthusiasm and acceleration path. If people want to find out more about yourself or the book, what's the best way to do that?Ben McDougal: It's very easy. Benmcdougal.com. Has my activity throughout the social media landscape, but also has my weekly writings that are called Roasted Reflections. And there's a quick link to take a look at the book, whether that's in the signed soft cover format or the e-book, or most recently released the audio book that I narrated. And so, you can enjoy You Don't Need This Book and I'd love to hear what you think. Brian Ardinger: Excellent. Well, Ben, thanks for coming on the show again. Looking forward to continuing the relationship and seeing you out there on the field as well. And I appreciate you coming on the show.

While there has been a recent boom in Jewish literacy and learning within the US, few resources exist to enable American Jews to experience the rich primary sources of Yiddish culture. Stepping into this void, Miriam Udel has crafted collection, Honey on the Page: A Treasury of Yiddish Children's Literature (NYU Press, 2020), which offers a feast of beguiling original translations of stories and poems for children. Arranged thematically―from school days to the holidays―the book takes readers from Jewish holidays and history to folktales and fables, from stories of humanistic ethics to multi-generational family sagas. Featuring many works that are appearing in English for the first time, and written by both prominent and lesser-known authors, this anthology spans the Yiddish-speaking globe―drawing from materials published in Eastern Europe, New York, and Latin America from the 1910s, during the interwar period, and up through the 1970s. With its vast scope, Honey on the Page offers a cornucopia of delights to families, individuals and educators seeking literature that speaks to Jewish children about their religious, cultural, and ethical heritage. Complemented by whimsical, humorous illustrations by Paula Cohen, an acclaimed children’s book illustrator, Udel’s evocative translations of Yiddish stories and poetry will delight young and older readers alike. Miriam Udel is associate professor of German Studies and Jewish Studies at Emory University.

Season 1 of Star Trek Picard is great. But if you want a fuller appreciation, consider reading the tie-in novel, Star Trek Picard: The Last Best Hope. This story gives fans a seamless transition from where we left off with Nemesis and Star Trek (2009) to the new series. The Last Best Hope gives us the before, behind and between, and the fills the gaps about which many have commented. Not only do the story-lines emerge much fuller, the fan is exposed to a fascinatingly elegant interplay among the mediums that include TNG film, Abrams films, short prequel, written novel and television production. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/steven-christianson/message

Real Estate World | The Real Estate Doctor Chad Nash has been in the real estate world for less than two years and he already has already become an inspiring figure in his discipline. By using an educator-first approach to serve his clients, Chad managed to close thirty transactions and $50M in volume in his first year alone! Everyone who knows Chad knows him as “The Real Estate Doctor” since he combines his advanced education training in economics and data analyses, and professional experiences in philanthropic & community development to give his clients superior customer service and stewardship. His team is growing quickly, and in this episode of Pursuing Freedom, Chad shares some of the practices that helped him achieve early success! Network Your Way Chad might be the first person to ever tell me he fell in love with real estate on the heels of the classes. But coming from a background in education as a senior administrator with Denver Public Schools, it made sense that he found his stride in the classroom. In the real estate world, education and mentorship click with people in different ways. So, it is important that the teachers and resources you encounter align with who you are as a person; not as a realtor. Chad had to work through multiple brokerages and mentors to find the right fit, but there is nothing wrong with that. As long as you are networking in a way that is authentic to you, you can start to establish your credibility as a real estate professional whether it’s with people who know you or people you’ve never met. Reimagine Open Houses To be a great networker in the real estate world, it takes a comprehensive strategy. But where do you start? Open houses? Cold calling? Some of the tactics you dread can be fruitful depending on how you approach them, and Chad has experienced a lot of success using a multi-tiered approach to open-houses. His strategy is built around the concept of social proof and he leverages technology like Facebook live to generate buzz around the work he is doing. He makes video testimonials, posts pictures, and ultimately drums up business by creating a magnetic aura that people can see. Chad’s circle gets to witness the success he is having and they want to be apart of it. But he has always brought that level of energy into his interactions. Now, his real estate strategy and his energy are aligned. About Chad Nash Affectionately known as the “Real Estate Doctor”, Chad is dedicated to educating and empowering his clients to make strategic, informed decisions regarding their real estate needs. He has advanced degrees in Economics and Data Analyses, providing an unparalleled level of knowledge and expertise during all aspects of the real estate partnership with his clients. A Colorado native, Chad has lived all across the Denver Metro area and the Front Range. This enables him to have a very unique and thorough understanding of the varying neighborhoods and communities that his clients might be interested in exploring. He often reflects on how the Mile High City has been transformed from a "dusty, old, cow town" into its current state, where real estate ownership, property development, and community growth opportunities are seemingly endless. Chad has the ability to connect diverse groups of individuals and communities through his relaxed, easy-going personality and genuine love for getting to know and help others. Complemented by a very detailed and data-driven approach to his work, he is a rare breed in the real estate industry. His advanced education training and past professional experiences in philanthropic investing and community development help Chad provide his clients with superior real estate education and customer service. For Chad, real estate is not simply a transaction; it's a tool for creating wealth, freedom, and a lasting legacy. In your partnership with him, he will always treat it as such. What You Will Learn: Chad Nash’s journey into the real estate world How Chad found the right fit with a brokerage Why it is critical to network based on your strengths and personality rather than what you are taught alone How Chad improved the success rate of his open houses Tips and tactics that helped Chad build his book of business from scratch How to Connect With Chad Nash: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealEstateDoc303 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realestatedoc/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/therealestatedoc/ Website: https://www.redocgroup.com/ Additional Resources 5-Step Guide to More Referrals

In her new book, Consumptive Chic: A History of Beauty, Fashion, and Disease (Bloomsbury, 2017), Carolyn Day tracks the relationship between dress, appearance, and tuberculosis in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Blending the histories of medicine and fashion, she charts multiple and often contested understandings of consumption and its socio-cultural significance. Day’s focus on experiences of upper- and middle-class women highlights gendered critiques of fashionable activities that allegedly led to the disease: riding, dancing, “impractical” dress. Emerging alongside these criticisms was the belief that some sufferers acquired desirable characteristics of feminine beauty—what Day terms an “aesthetics of consumption”—via the incurable illness. Complemented by rich case studies and illustrations, Consumptive Chic reveals the entangled history of ill health and beauty, as eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century aesthetics took an especially lethal turn. Carolyn Day is an Associate Professor of History at Furman University, where she teaches courses on modern European history, modern British history, and the history of medicine. Jess Clark is an Assistant Professor of History at Brock University (St. Catharines, Ontario). She is currently writing a history of the beauty business in Victorian London.

“The road to a good picture is through a lot of bad ones.” – Sam JonesThis week's episode is a bit of a departure. But like Frost's road less travelled, it's a direction well worth pursuing.My podcast was borne from a love of the art of the long form conversation. Authentic expression is a predominant theme of virtually every episode. And I sheepishly admit to a slight obsession with talented people at the nadir of their creativity, expressing their specific life purpose with unapologetic conviction.Sam Jones is the embodiment and ethos of all these ideals and more. Lauded photographer, documentary filmmaker, award winning music video director, magazine publisher, television creator and podcast host. Oh yeah, he's also married with kids.As a photographer, Sam is the go to guy for top tier magazines such as Vanity Fair, Esquire, Rolling Stone, GQ and Time for creating timeless portraits of luminaries, A-list actors and musicians like Barak Obama, George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., Bob Dylan, Jack Nicholson and Dave Grohl.All of this is super cool of course. But quite frankly it's not what motivated me to want to sit down with Sam. What really captivated me about this talented artist is Sam's newest venture, a multi-media, multi-faceted project he created entitled offCamera.It's photography. It's a magazine. It's a television show. It's a podcast. It's journalism. It's entertainment. It's art – the art of exquisite portraiture achieved through images, words and conversation.Simply put, Sam performs up close and personal, uninterrupted long-form conversations with today's most prolific cultural icons – people like Matt Damon, Sarah Silverman, Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Bridges, Laura Dern and more. Each conversation is filmed for initial broadcast on DirectTV's Audience Network and subsequently available on the offCamera website as well as on iTunes as an audio podcast. Accompanied by a formal portrait, the interviews are also reformatted in print to comprise a printed magazine.After listening to Sam's intimate dialog with Robert Downey Jr., I was left to ponder this question: where else could I possibly listen to (or watch) someone like this converse for a full hour on the particulars of life and art?Nowhere. You can't. Blame our soundbite obsessed world, but conversations like these are extremely rare if not altogether nonexistent in publicly available form. Complemented by his extraordinary attention to detail and quality, these are all reasons why Sam's work is such a gift to us all.I have been so moved by offCamera that I felt compelled to turn the mic around, point it at Sam and get to the bottom of his story. Thank you Sam for your willingness to engage me in a dynamic conversation that explores the intersection of art and commerce; the importance of authenticity in the expression of one's creativity; and what can be learned from working with the most prolific musicians, actors, filmmakers and artists in the world.In the words of Sam,“it has taken me a lifetime to develop my attention span, and I want to use it.”Me too Sam. Me too. I sincerely hope you enjoy the listen.Peace + Plants,Listen & Subscribe on iTunes | Soundcloud | Stitcher | TuneIn... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A variety of electronic and optoelectronic devices based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been implemented during the last two decades. For their optoelectronic characterization, diffraction-limited techniques such as photocurrent (PC) and electroluminescence (EL) microscopy were employed. However, for the full characterization of these nano-devices, novel techniques providing nanoscale spatial resolution are desired. This work presents antenna-enhanced optoelectronic probing as a new scanning probe technique for the investigation of nanoelectronic devices. Based on tip-enhanced near-field optical microscopy, sub-diffraction spatial resolution is achieved by employing an optical antenna for the focusing of light. It is applied to study PC and EL signals with a spatial resolution better than 40 nm for the first time. Complemented with antenna-enhanced Raman and topography images, new insights into the optoelectronic properties of CNT based devices are gained. In the first part of this thesis, an antenna-enhanced photocurrent microscopy study is demonstrated. The signal enhancement mechanism of PC signals is investigated and compared with expectations based on theory. While in spectroscopic applications both the excitation AND the emission rate is enhanced, in optoelectronic applications either the excitation OR the emission rate is affected by the antenna. Theory predicts therefore a weaker total signal enhancement and a lower spatial resolution of optoelectronic signals compared to Raman scattering by a factor of √2, which is experimentally confirmed. Then, two applications are presented. First, CNT-metal interfaces are studied and an exponential decay of the band bending at the contacts with a decay length of about 500 nm is revealed. Second, sub-diffraction potential modulations along the CNT channel of another device are probed that remain undetected using confocal microscopy. Combined with high-resolution spectroscopic images of the Raman signal, defects can be excluded as the cause for these modulations. Correlating the PC with the topographic profile reveals charges associated with a particle on the sample substrate as the possible origin. In the second part, antenna-enhanced electroluminescence microscopy is introduced. The EL emitted by a heterogeneous CNT network is studied with a resolution better than 40 nm. For the first time, pinning of the EL emission to a point-like region of smaller than 20 nm is observed. This strong localization occurs at a junction of at least one metallic and one semiconducting CNT. By probing the PC signal at this junction, the presence of a strong local electric field is revealed, probably caused by a Schottky contact. This allows to identify impact excitation as the most likely origin of the EL emission. A second device, based on a single CNT, was investigated and, in contrast to the network device, the size of the EL source is extended over a length of more than 100 nm.
