Podcasts about Cool Places

Monte Mallin and I take the wayback machine to 1983, when Sparks were kings of the mountain - the Magic Mountain. In Outer Space was Sparks' 12th LP, and was released when the group was white-hot, at least in Los Angeles! This episode focuses mostly on the smash single "Cool Places," a duet with Go-Go Jane Wiedlin. So, sit back and let the soothing strains of the Linn Drum lull you to a state of bliss. This is "All You Ever Think About Is Sparks!"

Travis Chappell, host of the Build Your Network Podcast and a Top 25 Business Podcaster speaks with Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast. Travis talks about how entrepreneurs should ditch their fears of networking and they can build authentic relationships. He also shares his insight and experience for launching a successful podcast.     Episode Highlights:  Where did Travis grow up and how did he transition into entrepreneurship and become an expert in networking? Travis always had an entrepreneurial itch - it started when he owned a landscaping business in high school. At one point, he was on the path to full-time ministry but realized he wanted to actually be in sales. How did Travis get into his first sales position and what did he sell?  He describes cultivating the feeling of exclusivity and how to consider your tonality and facial expressions when it comes to sales. Travis listened to self-development podcasts and was inspired by John Lee Dumas.  If you're not willing to invest in yourself or your business, then it's going to be much more difficult.  How did he get the idea to launch a podcast? 90% of podcasters don’t make it past the eleventh episode. Travis recommends taking beginning podcasting courses before launching your own show. He also recommends 1:1 podcast coaching or podcast consulting. Ask yourself: What are you expecting out of the show and invest accordingly. If you have a large business already, podcasting will amplify your message and build customer relationships.  When it comes to his business, what are the different ways he’s monetizing? How did Travis get connected with high-level people? How did he provide value to his mentor? Adding value is doing kind things for other people without expecting an immediate return or any return.  Relationships are built through memories and experiences.   3 Key Points: Add value as much as you can to the top 1% of people in your industry.  Travis knew if he wanted to succeed in podcasting, he needed to be around someone who had risen to a high level of success. If you want to turn your podcast into a business, treat it like a business. Tweetable Quotes: "You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You’ve got to get around people who have figured it out and do what they say." – Travis Chappell “People severely underestimate what it takes to gain an audience.” – Travis Chappell “Connect with the top 1% in your industry. Add value as much as you can to those people. Then leverage those initial connections into breaking into larger circles of those people.” – Travis Chappell   Resources Mentioned: Build Your Network Podcast EOF Podcast EOF Income Reports Pat Flynn’s Podcasting Course Podcaster’s Paradise Cool People, Cool Places (connection retreat) Meet Your Hero (course) Explode (course) Three Networking Secrets Thrive (conference) Travis Chappell on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook   #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #sales #startup #podcast #networking #mentor #bizstrategy

And they’re back! (Stateside AND in the studio…) Lauren and Jesse battle jet lag from their trip to Germany with a special episode about the “Hallmark” of the “Cool Races in Cool Places” tour - Challenge Roth! After spending a significant amount of time apart from Lauren, the kids, and Picky Bars to tune-up (Heilbronn 70.3) and dial it in for an A-race effort at Roth, the fam reunited just in time for things to get crazy. Hear about how they managed another family race-vacation - Lauren travelling internationally with the kids, Jesse trying to stay connected halfway across the world, and turning it on for what might be a last crack at competing at this highest level. Spoiler: LF gets a gold medal for pulling off that mile 17 fuel hand-up despite every possible thing trying to sabotage it.   After a full recap of the race and the family circus vacation surrounding it, they answer a few listener questions. Topics include: Nutrition and fueling (Kona vs Roth), doubling as support crew and parent (LF), a Heather Jackson cameo, and improving swim and transition times.   It’s the best work/play/love case study yet, and doesn’t disappoint on laughs or inspiration. Enjoy!   Jesse’s Roth Race Recap: leapdaysports.com/2018/07/08/challenge-roth-race-story Challenge Roth: challenge-roth.com

Marine Mammals and Marine Biology Careers/Entrepreneurs is what I cover on today's podcast. Two Marine Mammal stories and 1 editorial on marine biology careers.  The first marine mammal story is about a sea lion that is trying to enjoy some fish guts at cleaning stations in North Harbour, BC.; however, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have ordered fishers to cease all cleaning to ensure the sea lion does not come back. They are worried that the sea lion will get too close to a fisher and become aggressive around food. One of the spokespeople for the department said they wanted to avoid a similar incident to the one last year, where a little girl was dragged into the water by a frustrated sea lion who was offered food and then teased with "fake offerings". It eventually lashed out at the people by dragging in a little girl. The sea lion was not at fault, but the act of trying to get rid of the sea lion in North Harbour is evidence that people are trying to exclude sea lions from part of the Ocean where they should be allowed to frequent.  I also rant about how some people inside and outside the Marine Science and Conservation industry are dead set against Marine Biologists making money. There seems to be a stigma about the lifestyle of Marine Biologists and that they should be happy with their salaries and all of the "Cool Places" they get to go.  There are some innovative Marine Scientists and Conservationists out there who are trying to create a path for others to follow in so they can make a great living and conduct marine science and conservation as they were trained to do in the first place. My problem is with the people who are trying to say that people shouldn't try to rock the boat.  Finally, I talk about the first sighting of the Northern Right Whale off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia (Canada). It's an important sighting as we know Right Whales will continue to come north to Canada as they did last year. The goal this year is to reduce and eliminate incidences where the whales are killed through ship strikes and/or entanglement in fishing gear. There are two crucial guidelines (maybe laws) that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans created last season that carried over to this season. Find out what those are in the recording.  Enjoy the Podcast!!! Become par to the Speak Up For Blue Nation by joining our Patreon Campaign.  I would love to hear your opinion on this episode.

An interview with listeners Reggie and Donna Belew From Tennessee who tell us about their vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Also Puerto Vallarta Businesses Step Up to Support Mexico Earthquake Relief. Also more about Tile Park Puerto Vallarta. Hello fellow travelers, welcome this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel show. I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Listen To The Podcast That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The El [caption id="attachment_196" align="alignright" width="300"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into the ever so romantic Vista Grill with those dramatic views of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy that same view of the Los Muertos Pier all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seated with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! Today we will be talking with two great guests, listeners Reggie and Donna Belew from Tennessee, but before we get to them let's see what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 26th of September, 2017. Last Tuesday morning, as I was recording the last episode of the podcast, Mexico was hit with its second major earthquake in twelve days. An earthquake with a magnitude estimated to be 7.1 hit approximately 55 km (34 mi) south of the city of Puebla. It caused major damage in the Mexican states of Puebla, Morelos and the Greater Mexico City area, including the collapse of more than forty buildings;  and although Mexico's SASMEX earthquake warning system provided 20 seconds' advance warning in Mexico City, 310 people have been reported killed, 273 of which in Mexico City and surrounding areas, and more than 4,600 were injured. Rescue missions are still underway as I speak. As I said, there had been an even larger earthquake 650 km (400 mi) away off the coast of the state of Chiapas twelve days earlier.   [caption id="attachment_1634" align="alignright" width="253"] Music For Mexico Earthquake Relief[/caption] And although Puerto Vallarta didn’t feel either shake, these earthquakes are devastating for Mexico. Earthquakes happen so fast, and are notorious not only for the death and injuries and fear they strike in people, but also for making people homeless and jobless, destroying homes and businesses. Well, I’ve got to tell you, there are a lot of people in Mexico right now who need our help. There are also quite a number of businesses and individuals in Puerto Vallarta who have teamed up to raise funds for earthquake relief. Manzon Brewery had a fundraiser, Incanto had one, They are having a show and silent auction at Act 2 on October 1st, so if you are in town, go check it out. Lots of great items being auctioned off as well as some great entertainment. I’ll even have an item in the silent auction, an opportunity to have your very own podcast episode dedicated to an individual or even a business in Puerto Vallarta, so if you are interested in having your very own episode, be the highest bidder. If you’re in town, You have to go to that as I said, if you are in town [caption id="attachment_1635" align="alignleft" width="300"] PV Mexico Quake Relief[/caption] And it’s so great to see the people of Vallarta stepping up for a great cause. And if you do choose to give to the Mexican Earthquake Relief effort, be careful who you donate to and who you donate through. Do your homework, and know that it’s not always the big name charities that do the best work for the lowest overhead, so talk to friends, check out these charities on the internet.         [caption id="attachment_1534" align="alignright" width="300"] Natasha Moraga[/caption] Now we all know that timing is everything, and  if you listened to last week’s podcast, I announced a very special project that I’ve got to tell you, got me and many of you really excited. It was the Tile Park project, the Parque de los Azulejos, in Lazaro Cardenes Park. The project is being done by the same person who did the tile wall on the Southside and in the Marina and elsewhere, Natasha Moraga. Well, last week, I announced to you that you could donate to her project, and I gave you instructions on how you could purchase commemorative tiles to be installed in Lazaro Cardenes Park, the money from those purchases, would go to help fund the project? Remember?  How can you forget? I even built a donate page on the Puerto Vallarta Travel Show website. Okay so this earthquake hits, just as the project was going to begin their fundraising efforts, so timing is everything, as I said. [caption id="attachment_1610" align="alignright" width="300"] Donate to Tile Park PV[/caption] Natasha and her people were planning on quite a few fundraising events for their project, but they are also keenly aware of the great need for money to help rebuild and uplift so many effected by these terrible earthquakes. And as I just said, there are numerous events being planned for earthquake relief right here in Vallarta. So, Natasha asked me to let you know that many of the planned fundraising public events will probably wait till probably after the first of the year, just so efforts to help with earthquake relief can proceed in earnest. And I understand her sentiments, but I just don’t want her project to get lost in the shuffle so to speak. Trying not to sound too insensitive here, I think we can think of giving to both the Tile Park project and to earthquake relief, so I’m going to keep pushing and promoting this project, El Parque de Los Azulejos. Listen folks, they are not self-funded and need the money from tile sales, personalized tile sales, to move this project forward. They need to sell commemorative tiles to help fund this project so go to the show notes to last weeks podcast as well as this one, and check out this beautiful park, Lazaro Cardenes Park, all done in beautiful mosaic tiles. [caption id="attachment_1535" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Art Rendering Parque de Azulejos[/caption] Nat Moraga still has promised to sit with me for an interview soon, so will get that to you soon, and I’ll let you know when. As for these nasty earthquakes, these terremotos as they are called in Spanish, these Tremblors, I can definitely relate to these poor folks, I was [caption id="attachment_1538" align="alignright" width="300"] Art Rendering Parque de Azulejos[/caption] born and raised in Los Angeles, and I have lived through several major earthquakes, the latest big one, the Northridge Quake’s epicenter was not more than a ¼ mile from my home in the San Fernando Valley, and that was a 6.8. I’m telling you what, the aftershocks are what keep you up. They can be pretty frightening. Interestingly enough, Tuesday’s quake occurred on the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, which killed about 10,000 people, which was by the way, commemorated with a national earthquake drill at 11 a.m. local time, two hours before this earthquake struck. Kinda weird don’t you think? [caption id="attachment_1633" align="aligncenter" width="404"] Meet and Greet at Pour Favor[/caption] I’m planning a meet and greet in Puerto Vallarta for Tuesday, October the 17th at JR’s meeting place, Kelly’s Pour Favor Saloon and Cookhouse. He doesn’t know this yet, but I’m going to bring my microphones with me again, and have you tell me about what you are doing in paradise. And if you are a business and you want to make a pitch to my audience, you are more than welcome. I just have to lock down my airfare and I will be there. Guess I better tell my wife. Hummm. Yeah that would be best. See you there.   Okay, let’s get to the show and our guests, Reggie and Donna. [caption id="attachment_1638" align="alignleft" width="300"] Reggie & Donna Belew[/caption] I’ve got to say that my most popular podcast episodes are the ones with you listeners telling your stories and giving suggestions, so I’m pretty sure you are going to like my two guests. I love their accents, but hey, I’m from California and we have no accents, least that’s what I’ve been told. Reggie gave me a good review on iTunes and after I mentioned him on one of my podcasts and read his review, he followed up with an email. And it went like this… "My first visit to Puerto Vallarta was in May 1989. I was 20 years old. And I had only had two semesters of Spanish language classes in my then young lifetime.  A college buddy and myself drove over 2,000 miles (one way) from Florence Alabama to Puerto Vallarta. It took four days. And we only stayed a week. But oh my that changed my life. In 1990 I studied at the University of Guadalajara. I was able to visit Puerto Vallarta three times that year. And I traveled around Jalisco including trips to Barra de Navidad, Ameca and Tequila that summer." He also writes that he met JR on his last trip down… So I had to have Reggie on the show. His experiences, going to school in Guadalajara mirrored my own college Spanish experiences as well. When I was going to San Diego State University in 1978, I was given the opportunity to take a 6 week course in Mexico City and get a semester’s college credit for Spanish, so naturally I took advantage of it. It was a wonderful experience. I was totally immersed in the language. We lived with Mexican families, we went to class every day at 9. The Americans learning Spanish upstairs, and the Mexicans learning English downstairs. Then at noon, we dispersed and wen our own ways. I, usually with a hot Latina, and her friend…and her brother..ugh.. from class downstairs, and do stuff get totally immersed in the culture and in the language. [caption id="attachment_1626" align="alignleft" width="534"] Casa Isabel, Puerto Vallarta[/caption] By the time the 6 weeks were up, I was dreaming in Spanish, with English Subtitles.. No Lie! So Reggie did the same thing, only his university had a deal with a place in Guadalajara. Got to say, those were the greatest times. Listen To The Podcast Anyway, let’s get to Reggie and Donna and hear their stories… Gill Givens Books Vallarta's Funniest Man JR's Happy Hour Board [caption id="attachment_1655" align="alignleft" width="300"] JR s Happy Hour Board[/caption]   Restaurants They Liked Cuates y Cuetes La Palapa Freddy's Tucán Things to See and Do Xamie Ximenez the mouth painter at the arches across from the city plaza Puerto Vallarta City Tourism Office offers a walking tour free Tours to the Bell Tower at Our Lady of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Puerto Vallarta By the Rosary Bead Man Gary Thompson Sculpture Tour Print out J R's  Maps Roam the Cuale Island Gringo Gulch  Don't Forget Take good walking shoes Sunscreen Don't be afraid to try to communicate.

That idea of laminating a map and directions to your hotel or condo is absolutely brilliant. Also the free city tour is a great idea. Splurge and treat yourself to a serenade. Who knows, maybe you’ll get lucky. There were a couple more great ideas but I’ll leave those for you to find when you go to the shownotes for this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel Show.
