This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Know one knows better than yourself what your brand or business is about, says Jose Alvarez, Co-founder of Abbott NYC, a company that makes clean fragrances inspired by beautiful destinations.   "I think the most powerful brands are authentic," Jose says. "In today's world, a lot of that authenticity comes from the founders and their beliefs and values."   Jose recalls the highs and lows of the brand's launch, calling it an "emotional rollercoaster." Meditation proved to be the key to coping with the pressure.   "I meditate in the mornings every day," he says. "I have a journal where I journal different thoughts, different ideas. I think having a co-founder or even a person you trust is advantageous. They can bounce ideas off. I found that that's helpful."   Forward momentum - "action" - is one of the most important things not only in business but in life in general, Jose says.   "It's quite easy to just stay in your head and get down on things," he says. "But nothing gets done in the world, your life, or your business if you don't take action."   Abbott NYC began with four fragrances: Mojave, Telluride, Sequoia, and The Cape. Jose says he likes to focus on a memory for a specific location when coming up with the scents. It can take three to six months to develop a new fragrance.   In Part 2, Jose talks about:   * Advice for fellow entrepreneurs starting a brand. * The importance of staying even-keeled. * How meditation helped with the stress of the startup. * The importance of having a trusted friend or co-founder to bounce ideas off of. * A look at the brand's products. * The process of creating a scent.   Join Ramon Vela and Jose Alvarez as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Abbott NYC, visit: https://abbottnyc.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Jose Alvarez, Co-founder of Abbott NYC, started the brand because he believes nature is healing. The company makes clean fragrances inspired by beautiful destinations.   "Urban life is very stressful, and nature provides an escape for us to reconnect with ourselves," Jose says. "I also believe in the power of fragrances to transport you to a particular place, a memory, and I think we've all experienced that. When you do experience it, it's something very visceral, something very emotional. So I wanted to start a line of fragrances that transports you to the natural world."   Jose grew up in Nicaragua, surrounded by what he calls "very virgin nature." He fell in love with beaches and surfing in his home country. When he moved to New York City, he found that he came to miss nature, so he began traveling across the country and fell in love with the natural destinations around the U.S.   "All these destinations that I fell in love with ended up being the inspiration behind each one of our fragrances," he says. "I also wanted to ensure that we were protecting it - leaving Mother Earth in a better place than without it. So the first thing we did was ensure that all of our ingredients are sustainable."   For example, for the brand's sandalwood scent, a green synthetic ingredient is used instead of actual sandalwood, a tree that takes a long time to grow. Likewise, recyclable parts of grapefruit are used for the brand's Montecito scent. Even the products' glass containers and boxes are recyclable.   Another Abbott commitment is to avoid any ingredient that could adversely affect consumers.   "This means no parabens, no phthalates, no hormone disruptors, no carcinogens," he says. "If you look at most perfume ingredient lists, they'll just put all the perfume in alcohol. We list our full list of ingredients. We believe consumers should know what they're putting on their skins."   The idea for the fragrance line began with his travels. Jose and his co-founder Michael Pass used trips to escape their high-pressure careers. A shared passion for fragrances led them to connect the dots.   In Part 1, Jose talks about:   * Gratitude to his first boss out of college, which gave him a shot working on Wall Street even though he lacked the traditional Ivy League credentials. * Our emotional connection to nature. * His childhood in Nicaragua and how moving to New York changed his perspective. * How he fell in love with natural destinations around the United States. * The need to make products with sustainable ingredients. * The brand's work with charities. * The need to make scents unisex. * How he and his co-founder turned travel into a brand. * How their career success to date helped them gain an advantage with potential investors. * How he re-engaged the creative side of his energy.   Join Ramon Vela and Jose Alvarez as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Abbott NYC, visit: https://abbottnyc.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

Do you need a break? Of course, you do! In this episode, Trina shares a summer update and chats about the importance of taking a break when we feel our bodies and souls are crying out for one... It's interesting that we use the language "take a break" because quite literally we must choose to "take" one...no one is going to grant us a break, we have to initiate one for ourselves. Taking a break is necessary so that we can quiet down exterior noise and begin to listen to what's really going on within ourselves and discover what kind of rest we personally need. You might not be able to take a break from everything, but what can you take a break from this summer? How can you quiet noise, rest your exhausted body, play, delight, and dream about what might be next. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Stay in touch with Trina this summer by becoming an email friend here.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast I talk with professional runner for Adidas Emily Durgin. We jump right in to discussing her incredible run at the Houston Half Marathon, a performance that places her as the sixth fastest American female of all-time! Emily announces her plans to run her first marathon in the fall of 2022, and talks about how she'll need to approach fueling differently to maximize her performance over 26.2 miles. Emily shares her current pre-race nutrition strategy racing distances from the 5km to half marathon: fueling well the days before and a good race day breakfast, topped off with an energy gel before the start. We highlight how fuelling looks different for elite and amateur runners depending on race duration and intensity. Emily and I bond over the difficulties of college chemistry classes required to become a dietitian as we talk about choosing a major in college. As a top high school athlete, Emily shares her recruiting journey and how she ultimately ended up at UCONN, running for 5 years on an NCAA Division 1 team. We discuss the challenges of transitioning to college combined with navigating puberty and body changes. Emily opens up about her struggles and setbacks towards the end of high school and beginning of college, gaining necessary weight as she developed into a woman. Despite early successes in high school, Emily talks about the plateau she hit and how, with the support of coaches, she stayed patient and committed as her body changed, riding the wave that ultimately led her to find lots of success at the conference level. We discuss the culture of eating patterns and mindset on running teams at the high school, college, and professional level. We talk strategies for navigating toxic team cultures, including being around athletes struggling with disordered eating. Emily shares how her relationship with food has changed for the better, noting the positive influence of Olympians like Cory McGee, Ellie Purrier St Pierre and Abbey D'Agastino role modeling an “all foods fit” mindset, like we advocate for at Rise Up Nutrition. Emily explains how she's noticed that the higher the standard of performance the healthier the culture and the less restrictive and obsessive the eating habits: no coincidence, because in order to be the best you have to be well fuelled and happy!  Now one of America's best athletes, it's easy to assume that Emily dominated the NCAA and graduated with many sponsorship offers to choose between; however, this could not be further from the truth. Never finishing as an All-American or even making NCAA's on the track, Emily shares how she bet on herself and balanced working as a nanny while running post-collegiately. Results did not come overnight, but her patience and trust in the process saw her steady progress to becoming one of the World's best, earning a professional contract along the way. We hear about the experiences Emily had training with Olympians on some of the best pro teams, and discuss the importance of role models and support systems, alongside self-belief and perseverance. These same approaches Emily took to her running we can all apply to our training and nutrition; whether it's getting your period, recovering from injury, or setting a PR, no matter where you are right now, by focusing on the process and the small steps you can take today, you can achieve your goals and we can all be fit, fierce and fuelled female athletes! Follow Emily on Instagram  @em_durgin  Emily's Official Bio: Emily Durgin is an American long-distance runner from Standish, Maine.  She attended the University of Connecticut and was a 9-time American Athletic Conference Champion.   After graduating from UConn in May 2017, Emily continued running professionally and became one of the top American road racers. She moved to Flagstaff, Arizona in 2019 and is sponsored by Adidas. This January she ran 67:54 in the Houston Half Marathon becoming the 6th fastest American ever.

Thinking about the next book you want to read? Librarians are way ahead of you. Find out how new books make their way in the Chicago Public Library system, and meet some of the librarians who make it happen.

There is a musical world all around us. Scientists discovered that even plants play “music” through their electrical signals.  And your brain works the same way: It sends electrical signals throughout your body every moment of the day. These electrical signals either create “music” and bliss or “noise” and misery.  These electrical signals have brainwashed us with the ideas of limitations in the human system. Here's a practical example: We think being an “addict” means we're forever addicted to our vices. Of course, that's not the truth. But we've trained our brains to believe it. And as a result, our brains produce those feelings.  The fact is, every limitation you have is only a limitation because it's what you've trained yourself to believe.  In this episode, you'll discover how to cut through these limitations and experience pure ecstasy every moment of your life.   Listen now.  Show Highlights Include The weird way acting like a plant helps you achieve effortless happiness (3:31)  How to change your worst compulsive behaviors, emotions, and addictions doing nothing other than becoming mindful  (7:26)  The “Polygraph Detector” method for instantly noticing when your brain's distressed (and how to morph it into serenity) (11:56)  How listening to your breathing patterns and heart rates reveals what's happening in your subconscious and prevents self-sabotage (16:43)  3 simple head massages you can try on yourself to force your brain to relax and melt your stress away (18:03)  The “Chattering Monkey” trap discovered by Zen masters which burdens your mind with stress (and how to quiet it) (20:53)  If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.  If you or somebody you know is looking to drop the ‘F' Bomb of freedom in your life and break free from addiction, depression, anxiety or anything that's making you feel flat-out stuck, head over to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/ and book a call where we can look at your unique situation and give you the roadmap you've been missing.

The Essential School Sucks, #18 of 50 Theme Two: Leaving Institutional Schooling and Finding Educational Alternatives Today, an Essential School Sucks compilation of two conversations with natural learning legends: Sandra Dodd and Pam Laricchia. PART ONE: Sandra Dodd is a world-renown unschooling and natural learning advocate, and the mother of three adult unschooled children. Her website SandraDodd.com is one of the most comprehensive unschooling resources on the internet. She joins me for a fast-paced but fairly comprehensive discussion on unschooling and choice and her unschooling experiences, influences and philosophy. Unschoolers and Reading Sandra share the stories of her three children learning to read, and how there might not always be clear incremental steps. A Mindset For Unschooling "read a little, try a little, wait a while, watch" - patience what are we watching for? addressing problems a discomforts appreciation of choice and projecting optimism power-with, instead of power-over relationships, partnership beware of blindly "supportive" unschooling communities Full Show With Sandra: Sandra Dodd – On Unschooling and Choice [PODCAST #585] (https://schoolsucksproject.com/sandra-dodd-on-unschooling-and-choice-podcast-585/) PART TWO: Pam Laricchia is the creator of the blog livingjoyfully.ca - an amazing, well-organized resource for people exploring how to live and learn without school. She is also the author of several books on unschooling, including The Unschooling Journey: A Field Guide. Pam began unschooling with her three children back in 2002 and she has continued her enthusiastic exploration through blogging, podcasting and presenting at conferences. FOR PEOPLE EXPLORING OR STARTING UNSCHOOLING What are the important foundations of unschooling? Making the Transition to Unschooling - rule dropping vs. rule relaxing How to nurture Curiosity, Being Open to Our Child's Wonder How to foster an engaged mind, main three characteristics of real and effective learning (from the article Curious and Engaged) Pam's 3 Characteristics of Real and Effective Learning engagement: exploring and playing with an idea, topic, or skill motivation: staying engaged in their exploration, even through challenges thinking: creativity and analysis, and is key to the bigger picture understanding of how the idea, topic, or skill fits into their world CHALLENGES/CONCERNS ABOUT UNSCHOOLING the process of deschooling How to develop and maintain the patience and proper mindset for unschooling Mediating conflicting needs, between parent and child/children Plus A Listener question - Thanks Jahaira! "The main idea that comes to mind is the topic of TRUST. As a parent, you want your children to have everything they need to thrive, and it's scary to leave it to "chance". It's scary to fully TRUST that they will learn what they need to learn of their own volition and of their own desire..."

Change at any level can be difficult. However, inside a large organization, it can be more so because for that change to not only take place, but to do so effectively, often means the transition of power, and those who have the power, are not usually in a hurry to give it up. So, can we implement genuine and meaningful change as a way to confront the Obstructionism of Innovation without creating a cultural civil war? You might be surprised. Our guest for the next two episodes is Greg Larkin. Greg Larkin is passionate about three things; transforming huge companies, being a good dad, and punk music. He is a global authority on entrepreneurial transformations in large organizations. Greg is a transformation advisor to Uber, Google, PWC, Booz Allen Hamilton, and other large organizations. He has also served as the Director of Product Innovation at Bloomberg and across the Global 100. He's learned that change that's necessary is never easy and often, surprisingly unauthorized. Greg is also the founder of Punks & Pinstripes, a global coalition of intrapreneurs, entrepreneurs, and punks.  Greg is also the author of the business bestseller (in six countries), This Might Get Me Fired.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   It's a mix of ingredients - and omission of others - that go into the products from BelliWelli, including cutting down on short-chain carbs that are poorly digested, says Katie Wilson, Co-founder of BelliWelli, a brand that makes snack bars for those who suffer from digestive issues.   Katie says that making the products compatible with the Low FODMAP diet and plant-based and gluten-free are the top three goals.   "I knew that if we could achieve all three, I could look you in the eye and tell you you will have this bar, and you will not suffer gut consequences later," she says.   Katie says the products aren't gimmicky - there is no hero ingredient. There's a base dough into which new flavors, fruits, and chips are added. She adds that some ingredients - like caramel - aren't on the Low FODMAP diet, so that's not a flavor the brand can offer.   To that end, the brand has both taste testers and gut testers.   "If 20 people can't stomach it right with sensitive guts, we can't launch that product because that's part of the promise," she says.   The brand's core flavors as of today are lemonade, chocolate, cinnamon swirl, fudge, brownie, birthday cake, and a blueberry muffin. Some additional flavors are exclusive items; once they sell out, they don't always come back.   In Part 2, Katie talks about:   * The composition of the brand's products. * Why some flavors, such as caramel, aren't options for BelliWelli. * The lack of a big "hero ingredient." * The need for gut testers. * The core set of flavors. * A tour of the website. * Where you can find the brand's products.   Join Ramon Vela and Katie Wilson as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on BelliWelli, visit: https://belliwelli.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   BelliWelli makes snack bars and treats that are safe for those with stomach or digestion issues, says Katie Wilson, Co-founder of BelliWelli.   Stomach issues are more common than most people think, Katie says.   "My favorite thing to say to anyone is go ask five people in your life willing to be kind of honest with you if they suffer from daily gut issues or gut issues, period, and you will be shocked," she says. "It's going to be at least four out of five. I can promise you that."   Katie's career didn't begin in the food marketplace or anything related to digestive health. Instead, she developed gut issues during her career path working for matchmaking companies. Traditional treatments didn't help, so she turned to help in Facebook groups and found tens of thousands of people just like her. Eventually, her husband came to the rescue and hired a food scientist and dietician who were charged with developing the perfect IBS-friendly chocolate chip cookie. A brand was born.   "It seems like we found the right product at the right time and the right community," Katie says.   Katie says many of the critical decisions have come from the gut-challenged community, including the name of the business, the brand's tagline, and every flavor that BelliWelli has launched to date.   "I tend to think of our customers like friends. I never find myself using the word customer," she says. "I think of them in terms of how would I treat my best friend?. Every customer deserves to be treated that way."   In Part 1, Katie talks about:   * Gratitude to three executives at Nordstrom, including the CEO, who took 30 minutes to go over an idea that Katie pitched them when she was working there as a teenager. * A 100-foot overview of the BelliWelli brand. * Her career background. * How her gut issues began and her reaction to traditional treatments. * The development of the brand's first cookie. * How the community plays an essential role in many brands' decisions.   Join Ramon Vela and Katie Wilson as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on BelliWelli, visit: https://belliwelli.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

In October of 2002, the DC Snipers terrorized residents of Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland for three weeks. During that time, people lived in constant fear that they'd be killed - shot down - while in the midst of doing normally safe and benign daily activities like pumping gas, waiting for the bus, or even just walking across a parking lot to do some shopping. In total, ten people would be murdered, three people were critically injured, and others would be randomly shot at. Hundreds of FBI agents and local police officers would work this case before it was over. They were desperate to catch the man who was dubbed the DC Sniper or Beltway Sniper by the media. Except it wasn't one man.  Investigators were looking for a lone, white, male gunman. They had no idea how wrong their profile was. When it was all over, 41-year-old John Muhammad and 17-year-old Lee Boyd Malvo - both black - would be arrested. And now the authorities had to unravel the strange father-son relationship between the two, and uncover their motive for their shootings. And that is a lot of what we look into today. Their relationship, more akin to cult leader and cult follower than it was to the normal killing duo dynamic.

Guest Lara Fowler had been a cross-country ski racer and studied Japanese in high school in Portland, Oregon. She took those two pursuits to college and pursued them to their highest. With all of the language requirements and a study abroad program that she wanted to undertake, she had nearly completed a major in Asian Studies. But she also had a long-standing interest in water. So in fulfilling her distribution requirements, she found ways to study water from multiple angles, did off-campus research in the topic, and ultimately won a senior fellowship to devote her final year to writing a book on water policy, in effect creating her own second major in water resource management.After graduation, she took a year to pursue ski racing but decided to hang up the skiis and get a job in the water world. Recognizing that much of the discourse around water intersected with the law, she went to law school and ultimately worked as a water mediator, bringing disparate voices together to find solutions in water allocation. When her husband got the academic job he had long wanted, she found a new way to apply her skills and spark new interests.In this episode, find out from Lara how keeping curiosity alive and being willing to ask questions helps you move from novice to expert…on Roads Taken with Leslie Jennings Rowley. About This Episode's GuestLara Fowler is an attorney and mediator who focuses on environmental, energy, and natural resource law, with a specific focus on water-related issues. She has a joint appointment at Penn State Law where she teaches natural resource law and negotiations and the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment where she is working on questions related to water, the Chesapeake Bay, and systems-level behavioral change.

Capsule Manufacturing: It's Not Only What's Inside That Counts The recent EU ban on Titanium Dioxide and changing customer habits are shaking up capsule production. Over the past few years, the coloring and manufacturing of pill capsules have undergone significant changes due to new EU regulations and customer demand for natural ingredients. And while originally invented to mask and protect the contents inside a capsule, research suggests that the color of a tablet or pill can affect how patients feel about their medication. Until recently, manufacturers have primarily used Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to create white capsules due to its efficiency in protecting the active ingredients from UV rays. However, this year an EU-wide ban on TiO2 has forced the industry to move towards alternatives that work as well, or better, than TiO2. To add to the colorant shake-up, many people are actively avoiding unnatural ingredients in their food and nutritional supplements, which has created a new demand for plant-based capsule colorants. Anticipating these changes and solving the technological challenges in a timely manner are key to a successful long-term strategy for capsule manufacturing. Curious to Know More? Listen to the conversation between A View On host Martina Hestericová and Ljiljana Palangetic, Lonza's Associate Director of Hard Capsules R&D, about the challenges and solutions in current capsule manufacturing.   KEY TERMS IN CONTEXT: Pharmaceutical capsules can be either hard or soft. Soft-shelled capsules are one unique mold that encapsulates the contents, whereas the more widely-used hard-shelled capsules—such as the ones produced by Lonza—are two molded telescopic pieces of capsule: a smaller one contains the active ingredients, and a larger one encloses the capsule. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a widely-used pigment in capsule manufacturing, as well as in food, paint and sunscreen. Considered completely inorganic and nontoxic from a chemical point of view, it is labeled as an unnatural ingredient for ingestion, and carries the E number E171. Earlier this year, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announced a six-month phasing-out ban of the colorant over concerns about nano-sized particles of TiO2 accumulating in the body. The full ban takes effect in August. The dip molding process is the manufacturing process for capsules. The final shape of the two pieces that make the capsules is defined by specifically designed molds, which are dipped in a bath of liquid formulation to pick up material that will, after the drying process, give the final capsule form, shape and composition.

It's our 5-year anniversary of this podcast and to celebrate we're examining something both obscure and of note. Haven't heard of this particular picture book? You aren't alone. Originally published in 1969, the book is perhaps best known as being the last book Langston Hughes, its author, ever worked on. Betsy was just meticulously weeding her library's adult 811s and stumbled upon it. Black Misery is a children's book marketed as an adult title yet in spite of its copyright date it has a lot of similarities to the children's books today that are calling out elements in our own racist culture. Microaggressions and outright racism vie for space on the pages. The central question for us is this: Is this book a picture book for children or not? It's not easy to answer, particularly when you weigh how little change has happened with some of these moments and how beautifully they're called out here verses the use of the n-word and some of the more dated elements. In the end, we do wonder why it hasn't been reprinted in the last few decades. Seems like a forward thinking publisher might benefit from bringing this one back again. Then again, even that sentiment may be overly dated. We live at a time where the need for Black Joy in books for kids is particularly keen. Does it make much sense then to bring out again the true antithesis of the statement? Or does Black Misery have more going on here then its title implies? We take a deep dive into its pages to find out.

Change at any level can be difficult. However, inside a large organization, it can be more so because for that change to not only take place, but to do so effectively, often means the transition of power, and those who have the power, are not usually in a hurry to give it up. So, can we implement genuine and meaningful change as a way to confront the Obstructionism of Innovation without creating a cultural civil war? You might be surprised. Our guest for the next two episodes is Greg Larkin. Greg Larkin is passionate about three things; transforming huge companies, being a good dad, and punk music.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Upcycling is a crucial business practice at TBJ Gourmet, a specialty food brand that makes spreadable bacon jam its claim to fame.   "I would say the majority of food companies that are doing upcycling started doing it because they were on a mission to help combat climate change or save the planet," Michael Oraschewsky says. "For me and TBG, it started as a way to reduce costs."   Pork belly is cut into pretty, uniform shapes when used as bacon for consumers. That leaves out the odd piece here and there - just as tasty when it's cooked but not as appealing in looks as traditional bacon. Those pieces get used for bacon jam,   "I would argue that that pork is probably the first upcycled animal to be domesticated to eat things that we didn't want to eat and turn it into delicious, delicious meat," Michael says.   For TBJ Gourmet, it's just an economic mindset but an environmentalist mindset that makes upcycling an essential part of the brand's strategy.   "For me, it was always more than just the climate battle because I was raised not to waste food," Michael says. "My grandparents on my dad's side were raised in Europe during the wars in the 20th century. They were often times with very little or no food. My grandfather always told us this story about how his most memorable birthday gift was a farmer who gave him an egg that he was working for. He gave him an egg, and he shared it with his mom and his sisters. And his mom made a meringue out of the white and then got the yolk, and they enjoyed the meringue from this one egg. So we weren't allowed to waste food."   Michael says TBJ's finances got through the COVID pandemic just fine. Though restaurants were closed, the brand's CPG side performed exceptionally well. He expects sales to climb more as in-person family celebrations resume during the coming holidays.   For now, TBJ Gourmet's product line is anchored by three bacon jams: classic, sweet chili, and black peppercorn. A reserve line includes additional flavors, including maple bacon jam, honey habanero bacon jam, and balsamic fig bacon jam. A tomato jam provides a non-meat option. Future variations are coming soon.   In Part 2, Michael talks about:   * Why the company turned to upcycling. * The story behind his mission not to waste food. * How the COVID pandemic affected the company. * The importance of community and social media. * A rundown of the brand's products.   Join Ramon Vela and Michael Oraschewsky as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on TBJ Gourmet, visit: https://tbjgourmet.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   If everything tastes better with bacon, then things must really hit another level with bacon jam. That's the mission of TBJ Gourmet, a specialty food brand that makes spreadable bacon jam its claim to fame.   Michael Oraschewsky, the brand's CEO (he calls himself the chief executive boor), says bacon jam is made of bacon, caramelized onions, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. It's sweet and savory, so it has many applications, from burgers and sandwiches to crackers and charcuterie boards.   "People are already putting bacon on burgers - that's familiar - and they're already putting condiments that have a sweet and acidic nature, like ketchup on burgers," Michael says. "That this flavor profile is combined into one awesome condiment or spread already made sense to people, but now it's crazy. We see people putting it on pan-seared scallops instead of wrapping them in bacon or putting it on deviled eggs and exploring the space."   It turns out the bacon jam came almost by accident. A while back, Michael owned a restaurant that had a catering job canceled at the last minute. The bacon for the event was already cooked, so his future business partner suggested turning it into jam - a product he made for tailgate parties. Customers loved it from the start and wanted it in jars. A brand was born.   "Relatively soon after that, we were selling more bacon jam than I was selling anything else at the restaurant," he says. "So that's the genesis of the company."   The brand's founders started with pre-sales on Kickstarter and quickly sold 13,000 units before anyone had sampled the product. They took the bacon jam on the road to bacon festivals around the country and found similar hot demand. The feedback at a Hughe Christmas market in Philadelphia confirmed they were onto something big.   "It was there that we realized it was beyond just the bacon love of it - there was a foodie component," Michael says. "People weren't just saying, I'm buying this for my uncle because he loves bacon. They were saying, " Oh, my son's a chef, he's going to love this."   From there, things moved fast, Michael says. The company found an angel investor and then searched for a USDA facility for production. The brand was featured on QVC. It was selling 8,000 units a minute and quickly sold out. The product is available in about 6,500 stories across the U.S. and Canada.   In Part 1, Michael talks about:   * Gratitude to his wife for taking on the responsibility of home-schooling children during the COVID lockdown. * Why the bacon jam works as a condiment - because it combines sweet and savory elements that are already familiar. * How the idea for bacon jam came about. * The initial and unexpectedly high demand for the product.   Join Ramon Vela and Michael Oraschewsky as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on TBJ Gourmet, visit: https://tbjgourmet.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   One of the mantras of Robin Wilson, chairman and founder of A Blue Egg Corporation, is asking people when they last washed their pillows.   With Blue Egg's brands in the clean home product space, it's a question that's important to get across to customers, she says.   "They're so embarrassed - the average answer was six years," Robin says. "That's drool dander. If you put oils on your hair and have a pet sleeping in your bed, anything you can imagine is on that dirty pillow that now weighs more than when you bought it."   In 2015, she published a book on home health called "Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle." Another book is in the works.   Robin's company also has a social justice campaign called Project Lilac that supplies bed sheets to safe houses or shelters for victims of domestic violence.   "That's just a simple gesture that can put someone on the road to believing in themselves again," she says.   The company's mission is to be an affordable luxury brand for the allergen-aware consumer.   "You don't have to have allergies to get our product," she says. "It's something you can get, though, if you want to prevent and protect yourself because it's woven at a 0.5 micron. So bedbugs and dust mites can't penetrate through the fabric, so it's almost like a tech play on sheets and sheeting."   When sharing wisdom, Robin first cautions about how life advice is dispensed.   "I want to remind people that anyone who gives you advice, often it's from their perspective," she says. "You should take a piece from this and a piece from that and make it your piece. Make it your vision."   What Robin hopes will happen soon is that we'll emerge from the pandemic and get back to the basics of coming together as a community, especially when it comes to socializing with friends and mentors.   "Have people in your life who are connectors," she says. "Those people get great joy from telling and talking to all their friends and saying, do you know about? Did you know about? And make sure there are a few people like that in your world because they will tell everybody what you're doing and why it's so great."   In Part 2, Robin talks about:   * The importance of pillow health. * The words of wisdom in her book. * Her brand's social justice campaign - Project Lilac. * Where you can find Clean Design Home products. * Why sleep is so vital to your health. * The perils of taking just one person's advice. * The importance of socializing with connectors.   Join Ramon Vela and Robin Wilson as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on A Blue Egg Corporation, visit: https://ablueegg.com/    For her book, “Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle,” visit Amazon.   Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   The COVID pandemic caused a lot of people to feel trapped at home, putting a lot more focus on the needs inside a house. That's where A Blue Egg Corporation comes in, says Robin Wilson, chairman and founder of the holding company for real estate, design, and licensing.   Robin's childhood was spent fighting off a slew of allergies, a challenging situation that she'd later use to her advantage in her career. After starting in the corporate world, she shifted to real estate development and project management.   Robin says she's found resilience and empathy through a network of friends who offer constant reassuring words.   "Don't look at other people - run your race," she says. "Set a goal for yourself. Whatever that goal may be, it may be that you don't want to have any debt in one year. It may be that you want to have enough money to go on a vacation or have a certain amount of money in your bank account if that is your goal. Work toward your goal."   In Part 1, Robin talks about:   * Gratitude to his friends and family who invested in his company and trusted him to use the money wisely. * How her childhood allergies affected her career path. * Why she pivoted into real estate. * Why "resilience" and "empathy" are keywords to her.   Join Ramon Vela and Robin Wilson as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For her book, “Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle,” visit Amazon.   For more on A Blue Egg Corporation, visit: https://ablueegg.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This week, I'm re-sharing one of my conference talks, Curious and Engaged, with you! Here's the description: Our conventional society honours learning deeply, yet its definition has steadily narrowed over the years to checking off curriculum expectations and awarding graduation certificates. Does this restrictive view do learning justice? What if real learning is bigger than that? […]

Clever thinking has led to some curious stories, as these two tales demonstrate for us today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LSD is a powerful, mind-bending drug. Only a crazy person would try and tell a coherent and compelling two-hour-plus historical narrative while frying their brain on the equivalent of four hits of acid. And well... I am that crazy person. Today, to celebrate the 300th episode of Timesuck, I try and pull this story off immediately after dropping two double-hits of LSD. And things get.... weird. Also, what an amazing story! Bass Reeves' name and story are finally getting more exposure and it's about damn time! There's a good reason some people think Bass is the real-life inspiration for the Lone Ranger. This guy was a borderline superhero. Quick on the draw, fearless, and possession a relentless sense of justice, if you were and outlaw and Bass had ahold of your warrant.... you were as good as caught. Or as good as dead. The man was like a Wild West Boba Fett. He was the best at one of the hardest jobs in the Wild West  - a Deputy Marshal tracking down wanted men - and the occasional wanted woman - in Indian Territory, an especially lawless land that sat where present day Oklahoma now stands. Adventure awaits in today's yip, yip, yaw episode of Timesuck. Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:  The Bad Magic Charity for June is The Rainbow Railroad. We're donating a TBD amount.
