Skydiving absolutely was not on the agenda. It was chemical engineering. That was the direction he had taken, and Brian Naiman was happy with the choice. But as it's been known to happen, skydiving snuck up on him, and a random invitation by a skydiver to join him at the drop zone let him down a new path. When everything from dissatisfaction at work to a pandemic got it the way, the once unthinkable became reality. Enter the new partner of Skydance skydiving in Davis California. Now, handling everything from social media to managing the upcoming scrambles in October as well as their film festival in November, Brian's journey towards the lunatic fringe is complete.

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!Hello again Fellow Golfists,I was in a twosome in a best ball tournament and my partner and I shot a combined score of 9 under par 58 finishing 2nd place behind a group that shot 56. The tournament took place at Davis Golf Course in Davis California which is a par 67 golf course.  I really tried to summarize what the experience was like because I have never been that successful at doing golf, ever.  The group had planned to be a foursome but 2 folks didn't show up and it was just me and my partner, Mr G.  We were told to play like a foursome.   I had a brilliant Saturday playing this course yet again, for my 3rd outing of 2024, at the same golf course on PGA Championship Saturday when Davis GC was really prepared brilliantly.  Greens rolled great, cups were great, and fairways were great.  It makes me think that golf courses might be in better condition when any type of tournament takes place.Thank you so much for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!Go to this episodes link in order to send me fan mail if you choose to do so.  I really would appreciate it because I am fascinated by where in the world someone who listens to this would be from.  Thank you. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1334887/15094198-tkg-ep-111-shooting-9-under-par-in-a-best-ball-tournamentGod Bless America!God Bless Our Veterans!God Bless Our First Responders!!  #vicegolf#theknackeredgolfistpodcast#davisgolfcourse#pgachampionship#scottiescheffler#1ironshortpar4     Support the Show.#mailboxesplusroseville #theknackeredgolfistpodcast@theknackeredgolfistCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfistThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookOughton's Golf Repairhttps://oughtonsgolf.com/#myonlinegolfclubhttp://www.us.myonlinegolfclub.com/Thank a Veteran Today!!https://www.pgareach.org/services/militaryGOD Bless You!!

Hello again fellow Golfists, I got to play golf today after work and had a good day out at Davis Golf Course in Davis California.  If "No Laying Up" can have a "Tourist Sauce" golf video series watching and recording all of the thoughts, processes, and idiosyncrasies of golf rounds that those blokes take part in, I think it is ok for me to give a post round debrief and or press conference, if you will, to share things that I may have experienced and learned out on the golf course during an outing.  I enjoyed the course set up today at Davis GC and it was also good to get further acquainted with my 1978 Wilson Staff Tour Blade Musclebacks, my "new to me" Wilson Cary Middlecoff Autograph forged deep face blade putter, my Nike VR Pro sand wedge, and the Taylor Made Project (a) golf ball.   I had the privilege of playing with 2 really good golfers today as well.  Greg and Ken really were a joy to play with.  Playing with those chaps really brought out some great shot making in all of us.  I was thankful that I had brought enough backup drinking water to get me through playing in 100 degree heat.  And a special shoutout and kudos to the pro shop starter for allowing me to go back and complete the 5th hole today for my handicap after we had to skip it earlier because of slow play.   I recommend using "My Online Golf Club" for a free way to keep track of your golf scores, that can help you establish a handicap based on your performance out on the course.  http://www.us.myonlinegolfclub.com/ Check out the Forged Golf Club Appreciation Page on Facebook Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube #theknackeredgolfistpodcast@theknackeredgolfistCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfistThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookOughton's Golf Repairhttps://oughtonsgolf.com/#myonlinegolfclubhttp://www.us.myonlinegolfclub.com/Thank a Veteran Today!!https://www.pgareach.org/services/militaryGOD Bless You!!

A first-of-its kind building has opened in Davis to provide shelter and services for those considered at-risk or experiencing homelessness.

In this week's episode we're featuring the music of one of The West Coast's most popular club draws in Missouri's Gene Davis. Davis tripped over to The Golden State in '53 and his go-getter attitude, tasty guitar licks and solid country vocal saw him hired almost immediately. Establishing himself and The Gene Davis Band (later The Star Routers) as one of the most in-demand acts on the booming LA & SoCal club scene, Davis appeared alongside the area's big names on TV shows, radio and of course on stage: in no uncertain terms helping to lay the groundwork for what is now known as The Bakersfield Sound. Somewhat of a trendsetter in more ways than one, Davis' time at the legendary Palomino Club and the dazzling list of names who passed through his employ over years is testament enough to the man's musical talent and his output (though not a national hitmaker) is worthy of this week's airtime.

Today we're interviewing Max Rye, co-founder and Chief Strategist at Turtle Tree Labs. Which is a precision fermentation company focusing on lactoferrin, a supermolecule in cow's milk. One of the most unique things about Turtle Tree is that they have hubs in Singapore, Davis California and Boston Massachusetts. I know a few companies who are taking this approach because certain areas have certain talents. To level set, Turtle Tree has raised around $40 million dollars so you do need a lot of money to prepare for managing a global company. Though the world is changing thanks to technology and it seems like event startups can take advantage of location. Max tells us how turtle Tree manages that. Talent is surprisingly more location dependent than you think. This is generally why despite what anyone says, the United States still produces the most talented employees in the world. Ok enough bragging. Max ran a software company for about 15 years before handing it off and diving into solving sustainability problems. I found Max's talk to be insightful and there are a plethora of inspiring insights and stories that might help you consider going into this space. You'll learn about Max's journey on building Turtle Tree and it shows that he is an example of the many people who are transitioning from tech to solving big and meaningful climate problems. It's really inspiring and he's inspired others to do so too. Special thanks to long-time fan Vien-An Freidel for connecting me with the Turtle Tree Team I would have never gotten a chance with such a high profile interview without her. show notes: http://myfoodjobrocks.com/263Max

Hello again Fellow Golfists, Well today is an emergency episode for a great score that I shot out at Davis Golf Course in Davis California back on Friday July 8 2022.  I played after work on a Friday afternoon and shot 71 on a course where par is 67.  +4 is my lowest 18 hole round of 2022, but 71 is the lowest round of my life.  Its the best round that I have had in many years.  I owe it to many small mental successes that I had on each hole of the round.Thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!! #davisgolfcourse #theknackeredgolfistpodcast @theknackeredgolfist

Hello again Fellow Golfists, I had my first golf outing of 2022 and it was glorious.  I got to play Davis Golf Course in Davis California in late June 2022 and I had a ball.  I love this old school style of a golf course and how it plays inbetween tree lined bermudagrass fairways.  It is a simple but elegant golf course experience that is affordable and without any gimmicks.  I played the back nine with the new 2022 Taylor Made Tour Response golf ball.  The ball really feels good off of my 30 year old Founders Club series 200 Forged irons.  I really enjoyed smacking it with my Ram Laser FX cavity back forged 1 iron.  I played in 100 degree Friday afternoon heat to boot.  I also offer a bit of advice when choosing a new golf ball.     Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!!@theknackeredgolfist 

With the prevalence of Leaf Roll Three, Red Blotch, and other viruses, accurate and timely detection of viruses in grapevines has never been more imperative. Alan Wei, Owner and Lab Manager at Agri-Analysis LLC in Davis California explains how his lab is using next generation sequencing (NGS) to find new viruses. Currently, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the widely accepted method for testing for viruses. This process tests for one gene at time. Next generation sequencing allows labs to test multiple genes at a time and get results much faster.

Alan, thanks for being on the show. Alan Wei  0:10  Thank you very much, Craig, for hosting me. And I'm very delighted to be here. And I want to use this opportunity to say hello to listeners as well. Craig Macmillan  0:19  So Alan, I want to have you on the show, because I want to talk about anything that's new and exciting in the world of grapevine virology, and a lot of research and a lot of development in industry with labs like your own. So, what's what's what's happening out there, what's going on with detection of viruses these days? Alan Wei  0:36  There is a International conference on grapevine viruses that's held every three years. So last time was 2018, in Chile. And the second, the following time was supposed to be 2021 in Greece, and unfortunately, that was canceled due to the obvious reasons, and then was supposed to be happening this year. And by the way, is not happening, and it's postponed until next year. So as a result, we have not, the researchers in this field have not been able to meet to report the latest grapevine viruses. Just to mention something that in the literature, for example, there are two or three new DNA viruses being discovered and reported. In fact, in grapevines, but their practical consequences are known. So we probably don't want to get in too much into them. Craig Macmillan  1:33  Maybe not, but I think this is an interesting thing because for instance, red blotch, caught everybody by surprise. And so how are these new...how are these these new viruses, how are they found, if you are looking forward, you're looking for other things, what kind of technology they're using to find this new stuff? Alan Wei  1:49  Typically, they're found by deep sequencing, also known as NGS Next Generation Sequencing. Researchers are always trying to look for the frontiers of why viruses virology by applying these methods and find this new viruses, but their practical impact needs to be validated, study to further be before we alarm growers. And red blotch was found a similar way. With the exception that the red blotch phenomena, and the disease was known to growers for years without the assay and the way the branch was first reported, or discovered through NGS that was, you know, the "wow" moment to growers. Yeah, we do now know what is causing this read leaf in my vineyard. Craig Macmillan  2:43  Tell me a little bit more about NGS, it sounds like this is gonna be an important technology for us, this deep sequencing. Alan Wei  2:48  Yeah, definitely. Deep sequencing is very widely used in the research community. And, when was that, in December meeting hosted by FFPS, they reported that NGS is going to be accepted by regulators like APHIS as a alternative way of testing materials coming from overseas. Which means shortened time and rapid, faster deployment of foreign important materials in in this country, or practically to growers hands. Yeah, the technology is definitely upcoming, and we're looking to possibly deploy it for routine use. We need to hear more feedback before we really do it. Craig Macmillan  3:41  This is obviously a very complicated technology, but like in a sense, can you explain what it is? Alan Wei  3:48  PCR is the way that accepted method in testing viruses or microbial in general. Compared to PCR, which tests one gene at a time, NGS would allow you to test multiple genes at a time. Because through the use of small, small redundant primers, which amplify many sometimes millions of hundreds of millions of fragments of the gene, which can parallelize sequenced with that data, and coupled with information, analysis, informatics, you can extract new new information from your sample, including new viruses, new bacteria. Craig Macmillan  4:38  So essentially, I've got a sample of plant material. And I run it through this NGS process, and it comes back and says, hey, there's genetic material in here that doesn't belong here. This is not grapevine, or hey, visit genetic material that's associated with some virus or something like that. And that's the flag that I get. And I get it from the whole picture. I'm not doing it like like you say gene by looking at for specific genes, I'm getting a kickback, I'm saying hey, there's there's a variety of things or whatever genes we weren't, wouldn't even thought to look for. Alan Wei  5:10  Exactly, exactly. You're right. And then that gene can be not not only you find genes and not belong to the grapevine, which we considered as, you know, the background gene, by further analysis of that, that special gene, you can assign them to, to pathogens, basically, different types of pathogens. Craig Macmillan  5:30  Gotcha. Yeah, that definitely speeds up the process a lot and makes it possible to catch things in finer net than we ever would have been able to do before. So that's pretty exciting. Alan Wei  5:38  Yes, def definitely. Craig Macmillan  5:40  Coming to red blotch, this is continues to be, you know, a very hot topic, obviously, it continues to be an issue in the field and continues to be an issue in other places. Is there anything new that we've learned regarding the Red Blotch Virus in any realm, anything about how it moves, its symptomology, new means of detection, anything like that? Alan Wei  6:08  I have a list of articles that just simply published during the past a couple of years, and researchers from you know, several major universities have really dived deep into the physiology, the virology, their impact on wine quality, in aspect of, of a rather large virus. They're really fascinating. From a practical standpoint, though, the progress has been less because what was reported to us few years ago remain the same, which which you know, very well. Which means rogueing, you know, rogueing your infected vines as aggressively as possible. Sourcing for clean materials as diligently as possible to prevent any viruses infecting material being planted. And once they do present in your vineyard take them out as quickly as possible. And also, although we know the Threecornered Alfalfa Hopper is the vector for red blotch. And folks don't recommend you spray against this particular insect because it is not a very efficient transmitter of the virus. Grapevine is not its preferred host. So those information were already known through talks by various speakers in the past. Craig Macmillan  7:33  We were talking about spread. And this is something that is absolutely puzzling to me, in years of field checking, I had never once seen this Threecornered Alfalfa Hopper. But I have talked to people who have. And they apparently are very reclusive, they will move away from you, the signs of the damage and very subtle, they do this little kind of girdling thing in the leaves. I just feel like there's just kind of be another vector. I mean, just I just feel to kind of be another vector. I mean, is there is there anything new in that world? I mean, we've identified the one but it seems kind of mysterious. And I'm thinking about the spread at the Russell Ranch, that finish and plant services ranch where we've not only identified it, but they were able to see that was spreading, attributed to the Threecornered Alfalfa Hopper, correct me? Alan Wei  8:19  I completely agree with you. Yeah, we don't see too many of our tree hoppers in the field. Yet spread in Russell Ranch has been phenomenal. It's more like, more exponential increase year after year, since 2018. So it is a mystery. If some of you, listeners, went to the seminar by UC Davis in early December, particularly the presentation by Professor Kent Daane, then the entomologists have been looking at a number of potential hosts. But unfortunately, they either have not been proven yet or, most of them were disproven to be a potential host. So we're still in that regard., virtually in the context of Russell Ranch, it is a complete mystery. You would think through the very aggressive management by FPS, you know, any presence over vectors were eliminated. And any source of vectors were eliminated. We have but yet they see this exponential growth in terms of infected vines, which, which stopped Russell Ranch from operation, basically. Craig Macmillan  9:40  Yeah, exactly. And I was actually looking at a table for one of your publications earlier today, and it looks like it went from zero to exponential like there was no nothing was detected for a couple of years or two. Then blammo! And I've been thinking about the same thing happening in other vineyards, I'm familiar with. And obviously just underlines how big of a threat red blotch is because we don't understand, you know, a lot, there's a lot we don't understand about it. So that means you got to sample. That you should rogue vines when you see them. But also you got to be sampling. Are there any is there anything new in the way of sampling protocols? Because I know that the distribution of the virus varies quite a bit between different parts of the plant different times of year and whatnot. So it's easy to miss it. What's the what's the best recommendation these days, if I wanted to test some lines, asymptomatic vines for red watch? Alan Wei  10:31  Yeah, we still recommend growers to sample cane materials, because in our analysis, you know, relative concentration in different parts of the vine, the cane materials has highest concentration of virus tighter level. And we also suggest growers to consider combine cuttings from different vines to make a what's called a composite sample. Therefore, they can you know, cost, testing costs can be reduced, and their testing budget can be maximized. And of course, you know, the testing objectives dictate how high your sample. Sometimes growers want to test the individual vines to really zoom in to which vine is exactly is infected, that you can only do that by testing individual vines. But the composite testing gave you the first level of screening. To see if you composite ten vines into one sample, and the entire sample would be positive. But if you want to zoom in which vine, but you're gonna want to use positive so that you can take it out, then you will do individual testing after the first round over the course screen, if you will. Craig Macmillan  11:44  Yeah, so the strategy would be basically like test the vineyard. And then if you find that something, then you drill down, and you can get it down to decide kind of what area where the individual vines are. That's a very, very smart technique. It's a really great idea. How sensitive are the detection techniques these days? So like, if I've got a if I have 10 vines out of 1000, and I sample and I sampled 10 vines, and I hit one of them, one of the infected ones, is that enough to show up in in the in the analysis? Alan Wei  12:15  Yeah, definitely. So if there's only one out of 10 cuttings is positive, and that means practically you're diluting the by 10 times, it is very much detectable. Craig Macmillan  12:27  Is there a lower detection limit? Alan Wei  12:28  Yeah, when there's a theoretical detection limit, and then there's a practical detection limit. If we do a back of the envelope calculation, a PCR method would allow you to detect one copy without the problem. But then of course, practically, there are other considerations such as whether you know, the one copy, you can sample that one copy into your PCR tube to begin with, because you know, if there's a one copy per microliter, and the way you want to use a two microliter in a PCR mix, you may or may not be able to transfer that one copy from a sample to the PCR tube to begin with. And even if you do, there may be potential inhibitors that present in grapevine material that could potentially influence your sensitivity as well. So there's a practical detection limit, and there's their theoretical detection limit issues. But overall, you know, we have found the red blotch detection to be not a problem, because typically the virus titer is high enough to be detected, even if you compounded multiple vines or cuttings into one sample. Craig Macmillan  13:33  That's good. That's very, very useful, very, very useful. I would love to move on to kind of other viruses because it's red blotch is not the only game in town these days. Leaf Roll complexes and Leaf Roll viruses, there's still a problem correct? Alan Wei  13:44  Especially Leaf Roll Three is very much that the top of our problems still and because you know the vaccine is very well known. It's very prevalent. Inoculum widespread to the percentage of vines tested positive for Leaf Roll Three that are coming through our lab is roughly about 15 percent. So Leaf Roll Three is very much prevalent. There have been some really nice talks, organized before the pandemic was by the Lodi growers group. There are some talks from including from South Africa. Recently from Red Blotch symposium where there's some presentations on Leaf Roll Three as well. So Leaf Roll Three is very much a serious problem. And growers need to be very vigilant against the Leaf Roll Three from from new planting materials to management of existing vineyards. Craig Macmillan  14:37  So let's say I've got a vineyard and I'm seeing some symptoms. I'm seeing some red leaves or I'm seeing some bronzing or I'm seeing something, and I've looked at the nutritional situation, I've ruled out either toxicity or deficiency. So I'm not thinking hey, you know, maybe this is a virus issue. Can you take samples of vines and just bring them to a lab and say, please help me? Can you tell me what this might be? I know we just talked about the deep sequencing. Is that, I'm not gonna say that technology. But like if I brought you some material and I said this has got a problem, how would you go about diagnosing it? Alan Wei  15:14  Oh, definitely. That's what we do every day. Most of our work is focused on helping growers find out what is possible cause of a programmatic vine in their vineyard. They will send in the samples, either individual vines or composite samples. We have a panel, what's called a combo panel that covers the 11 viruses, 11 major viruses. Leaf Roll Roll 1, 2, 3, 4, and two or three viruses, and of course, Red Blotch, and Fan Leaf, Pierce's. And then also Pinot Gris virus. That is the most frequently requested a panel. And by doing that panel, we typically find out if it's a virus issue. Craig Macmillan  15:58  That's very useful. It's very, very good to know. In relation to grapevine viruses, or just diseases overall, what is the one thing you would recommend to the listeners that they should keep in mind? Alan Wei  16:08  I think that you already touched on this earlier. You know, one thing is, if they see problems in the vineyard, they should consider the sample and test to validate whether they're viruses or not. And if they're considering to plant new materials, they should be very vigilant to to ask questions of the nurseries, and also do their own independent homework. And the you will be interviewing Dr. James Samp in another session. He can tell you more about how he go about sourcing for cleaning materials for his clients, which are very quality conscious. Craig Macmillan  16:47  Yeah, we're really looking forward to that conversation, Much like I was looking forward to this one. You know, this reminds me of something. You hear the word tighter a lot. And I don't think I fully understand what it means. I know that it's important and seems to be coming up a lot. Can you explain the concept and why it's important and what it means for us practically? Alan Wei  17:09  Yeah, I'm so glad you brought this topic up. You know, you and I have been serving on AVF committee, Grant Review Committee for a number of years. And last week, we had our review meeting for this year, and the subject came up. You know, we can talk about different aspects of Red Blotch impact in wine quality, wine physiology, you know, readily and so on and so forth. If we want to contribute one single factor of all of this different symptomology, it would be the virus tighter level. The virus tighter means the number of particles in the vine. If the vine is only infected with a smaller number of particles, its response to the virus is going to be different than the vines that are infected with larger or large number of particles. In our experience, the virus level in different vines can be very much different. I'm not talking about different by you know, 50 percent, or two or three fold. I'm talking about several orders of magnitude. There is a poster right behind me, which you cannot see. But we did a measurement of three infected vines. One, with clean, non effective. Another one is chosen for medium Red Leaf symptom. Another one, it's very heavily Red Leaf symptom. And virus level, the obviously the non infected vine was zero. And then the mediumly infected vine was about one or 200. And then heavily infected vine, was one hundred thousand in relative copy numbers. So this tells you that you know, this virus kinda level concentration level in the vine, really affect symptomology as well as the vine performance and the barrel quality and obviously, eventually, wine  quality. If we read the scientific literature, lots of studies report Red Blotch positive, Red Blotch negative, they did not talk about the virus tighter level. That's why we were so glad to see last week one of the research proposes to study the virus tighter level on different aspects of vine physiology and berry quality. I just think it was so so so important because the virus tighter will make it make a huge difference. Craig Macmillan  19:39  So we may be moving from a world of infected or not, to not, to more sick, less sick. Alan Wei  19:47  Yes, absolutely right. That is actually how we protect ourselves against the human viruses as well. You know, our vaccine does not completely protect us from infection. But it does protect us from viruses being propagated in high numbers in our body. Therefore, our symptoms of the infection in the individual is much less. And the ability for that individual to infect others are much less. Simply because of the lower virus tighter level in an infected person and similarly is true in grapevines. Craig Macmillan  20:24  So plants and animals are obviously very different organisms and where an animal has an immune system plants do not, they do not have an immune defense system. Is that correct? Alan Wei  20:35  Yes, you're right, correct. But they do have basic defense system against foreign organisms. One of them is the RNAi system. So speaking of that, you know, the simple symptomology in response to Red Blotch, and most of it is a total response, as a result of virus infection. The RNAi defense system gets activated. For example, the accumulation of the sugar of the raisin should be gradually, in a normal process, will be gradually moving towards the berries. But in Red Blotch, in fact, in vines, they are accumulated in leaves. Not moving toward the sugars. And the same for anthocyanins. That's why we see this red leaf. And those red color should be you know, in the berries, but they're not. They get stuck together, accumulating in leaves. It's fascinating. Unfortunately, we are still at the beginning of understanding all of this. Some reports are gradually coming out. Craig Macmillan  21:40  And so I want to make sure that I understand kind of how this works. So there's a grapevine that becomes infected. However way. The virus is very, very tiny bits of genetic material. Unlike, unlike a bacteria, which has a cell wall. Viruses don't have that they're just genetic material. The plant recognizes that somehow. And then RNA is the material that is produced from genes, the genes or have a have a sequence and then when that is reproduced that goes out into the world as RNA. Is that right? Alan Wei  22:17  Yes, the RNA is inside the host. And in response to a virus infection. And the defense mechanism get activated, which involves what is called enzymes. These RNA into smaller pieces, typically 20 nucleotide long. And they are, they are the what's called the interference RNA, or RNAi which inhibit the host from propagation inside the plant. Craig Macmillan  22:48  This is just, we need to wrap up for time, but I just have been thinking about this for years. And that is, where do these viruses come from? Where, how do they, how do they show up? What are these plant viruses? What? Are they jumping from other plants as a mutation of one into another? Or...do we know? Do I have any idea where these things come from? Because it seems like it's not just a question of finding it. Seems it's got to come from someplace. Alan Wei  23:14  Yeah, that's that's a really good question. I you know, you have biology, you have a load viruses, and obviously, RNA. Some viruses are readier to evolve, to change, to mutate. And that's why we see so many different mutants in the COVID virus family. And this is Red Blotch, is a DNA base virus, which have shown less mutation. And so far, we only seen two mutants, two clay types. And they practically they don't have much difference. As far as the, you know, the origin and the evolution. We need to have folks like Mark Fuchs to answer that. Craig Macmillan  23:55  At Cornell. Well, that's fantastic. That's that's our future. That's where, that's where we're going. Well, I think we've covered everything. Where can people find out more about you? Alan Wei  24:03  We have a website, agri-analysis.com. And then they could call us or email us anytime. We're here to help growers to build a better and clean vineyard so that they can make the best wine possible for the for their clients. Yes, sorry, Craig for the background noise. I think folks who are preparing samples as we speak. Craig Macmillan  24:26  I want to thank you Alan, our guest today has been Alan Wei, Owner and Lab Manager at Agri-analysis, David California. Thanks so much. This is really fascinating conversation. Alan Wei  24:35  Thank you very much Craig for hosting me. Continue to the great job. I'm so glad you're back at the Vineyard Team. You guys. You guys are wonderful team and doing great job. I'm very pleased to be here. Craig Macmillan  24:44  Thank you. I appreciate that.   Transcribed by https://otter.ai

Welcome to the first episode of the second season of the Looking Into Wine Podcast, is so good to be back - Mattia Today's guest is the Associate Specialist in Cooperative Extension in Enology for the University of California UC Davis Anita Oberholster. Today she is here to spotlight the incredibly growing concern that is Smoke taint. In recent years she has focused her attention on Smoke Taint leading field and laboratory research on the topic and working with international researchers to fight this catching problem. In 2020 alone a series of wildfires ravaged parts of Northern California, blanketing much of the West Coast with smoke. This came on the heels of major fire events during the previous three years that burned nearly 3.8 million acres in California alone. Meanwhile, Australia suffered devastating fires in 2019 and 2020 that affected Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria. And this year 2021 fires are sprawling around the world from California to France and parts of southern Europe. As the wine world acclimates to changes in weather patterns, the term “fire season” has become akin to hail in Burgundy and bone-chilling winters in Germany. Like harvests ruined by cold, wet, and disease, harvests in fire riddled regions face unique challenges Smoke Taint – what it is and how it affects grapes and wine.Smoke taint is one such adulteration. When wildfires strike, the residue of the smoke can settle on grapevines, leaving a film of volatile phenolic compounds. Where many wines flavours are derived from grapes' phenolics, these compounds are unwelcome intruders. And they infiltrate the grape skin, forming bonds with the sugars just inside the skins. These resulting molecules are called glycosides. The compounds in smoke primarily responsible for the taint are the free volatile phenols that are produced when the wood is burnt. These can be absorbed directly by grapes and can bind to grape sugars to give glycosides that have no smoky aroma. Often these glycosides are described as smoke taint precursors. During fermentation (and also over time in barrel or bottle) these glycosides can break apart, releasing the volatile phenols into the must or wine, and allowing the smoky flavour to be perceived. These glycosides can also release the volatile phenols in the mouth during the drinking of wine, which may contribute to the perception of smoke taint.As promised the here are the links to further readings: California UC Davis https://wineserver.ucdavis.edu/industry-info/viticulture-resources/wildfire-impact-ca-grapesAustralia Wine Institute https://www.awri.com.au/industry_support/winemaking_resources/smoke-taint/Remember to hit the follow the podcast and as always if you have found listening to this podcast valuable, leave a review!

Listen to our second interview with Andrew Newman, a Certified Public Account (CPA) in Davis California. Whether you're starting a side or full-time business, it is imperative that you understand...

SHOW NOTESSEGMENT 1If you follow him on social media, you know that recently Kevin found a cat who mothered kittens.  She lives in a lumber yard and has hidden her kittens. He provides updates on their progress assisting the cats. Last week Kevin's production company, KBProductions, hosted a concert at The Oil Palace. Was going to drive out but due to the gas shortage in the Southeast Kevin was unable to fill up his car.SEGMENT 2Before acting, Kevin was a NCAA Division 1 coach for years. Unfortunately he lost his job, his house, and it was a very public fall. He went to California to see his friend __ who is a PR specialist. During his last night there __ asked him what his next move was. Kevin decided that he wanted to become an actor and __ encouraged him. When he got back to Ohio he talked to Wendy, Starbound, and discovered Katie Holmes. Kevin took the advice that he once provided to his athletes, you can't just have one foot in, you have to be all in. He packed his car and drove to New York City where he lived in his car.SEGMENT 3Kevin made a vow and gave him three years to progress his career as an actor and a businessman. He got a job working with a cat rescue and as a black car driver. When he wasn't working, Kevin spent his days auditioning and taking acting classes. He would also listen to the advice of many notable actors, advice about the business side of acting. Kevin refused to be a background actor or an extra. While he has no problem with those roles it was not what he wanted to do. It was a bold choice and challenging but it's what he wanted. Kevin shares a notable audition experience.SEGMENT 4In order to get roles Kevin believed that he should become the best version of what they are looking for. He had to embrace who he is as an actor and identify his brand. For him this meant considering the roles that he would fit into and change his style to something more flattering for him. Once he made a greater investment to his appearance, his brand, and some better headshots Kevin saw real progress.TRANSCRIPT00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:56.100 Kevin Barbaro Productions: hey good evening everybody and welcome back to coffee talk XL i'm Kevin barbro and you're listening on talk radio dot nyc or you're watching me live right now on facebook.com slash talk radio nyc and.00:00:57.690 --> 00:01:07.320 Kevin Barbaro Productions: going to talk a little bit about my story and the business of acting and just kind of how I got into acting and.00:01:08.070 --> 00:01:22.230 Kevin Barbaro Productions: With no experience no connections no training no anything almost 10 years ago now, and it built up my career to where now i'm i'm i've been in over 150 commercials and.00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:34.350 Kevin Barbaro Productions: A lot of print ads and and TV shows and feature films, and all this kind of stuff and have representation, now I earned my membership into the.00:01:34.740 --> 00:01:41.490 Kevin Barbaro Productions: screen actors Guild and all of these things kind of snowballed and we're going to talk about that story tonight and hopefully.00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:47.910 Kevin Barbaro Productions: There are things to learn from it, whether you want to be an actor or there's friends of mine that are currently.00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:55.890 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Either new to the business or they're in the business and they're trying to establish themselves or maybe you're just sitting there thinking man do.00:01:56.250 --> 00:02:00.420 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I think I like being an actor man and this might be a way for you to.00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:10.980 Kevin Barbaro Productions: get some knowledge out of me and and and play it forward here for you as well as whether you're just in business, you know business or athletics, I mean I came from athletics.00:02:11.550 --> 00:02:23.490 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And there's a lot of the correlations between my athletic career my coaching career and now me as an actor and he is a businessman because i've been able to parlay.00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:38.670 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Myself into owning three different companies now and so that's what we're gonna be talking about I do want to touch on a couple of things big shout out and thank you to Jeff perlman who was my guest last week, you can see that.00:02:39.690 --> 00:02:50.610 Kevin Barbaro Productions: archive video if you go to facebook.com slash talk radio nyc, which is the talking alternative broadcasting network, which is what we're on right now.00:02:51.210 --> 00:03:07.410 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You can see that video, and you can get his books, particularly his his latest books off of Amazon and but the book, we talked about was football for a buck, which talked about Donald trump and the US fl and how that.00:03:08.730 --> 00:03:15.480 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Marriage ended horribly so I also want to give everybody an update if you've been following me.00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:31.230 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I, you know that I started my own animal rescue so rocky's rescue we talked about it last week on last week's show, and if you've been following me, you also saw that not only did we have our first.00:03:32.250 --> 00:03:46.650 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Foster adopted out tiger music male cat, but we also located a straight female that had some kittens by so i'm i'm partners in one or two partners in a construction company, we have a warehouse.00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:58.410 Kevin Barbaro Productions: outside of myrtle beach out your coastal Carolina university and we actually were outside and this mama cackles walking across and she got a kitten in her mouth.00:03:58.950 --> 00:04:11.370 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And so, basically long story short, we can't get to the kids, but we know that she's got him hidden, and so what we've been doing is I actually took a.00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:23.400 Kevin Barbaro Productions: kennel and an actual dog kennel smaller dog kennel took the door office, so that it's just always open we hit it under some trees so there's some covering there's some shade.00:04:23.730 --> 00:04:30.360 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Because man it gets hot and South Carolina tongue right now and we put a towel in there and we put some food, water, so anyway.00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.500 Kevin Barbaro Productions: If you were following me on social media, then you already saw some of this but.00:04:34.890 --> 00:04:42.750 Kevin Barbaro Productions: The good news is that the, it seems as though that a mama cat and the kittens are still safe they've actually she's actually hid themselves.00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:52.950 Kevin Barbaro Productions: In a lumberyard right right next to where we live, but we don't I can't go in there and I don't even want to alert the people that are at the lumberyard the people to own that lumber yard.00:04:53.370 --> 00:04:57.930 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Because i'm afraid that they're not going to be as compassionate as we are so we're just going to leave where they're at.00:04:58.350 --> 00:05:08.520 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But we put food, water out for and she's been going back and forth and eating all the food and then going back and course and taking care of and feeding the the kitten so.00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:16.320 Kevin Barbaro Productions: that's continuing on it, if it goes much longer i'm probably going to end up naming this gap i'm not bringing home just got six kids but.00:05:17.010 --> 00:05:28.230 Kevin Barbaro Productions: What we're going to do is once we've passed, like the six week period and hopefully we can locate a way to get the kittens and the cat out of there without alerting people from the lumberyard.00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:37.260 Kevin Barbaro Productions: we're going to take her and we'll get her speed and actually and get her shots get her tested for HIV leukemia.00:05:37.830 --> 00:05:43.860 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And either adopter out doesn't look like she's friendly, but if she's not friendly, which is disease free then we're going to just.00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:54.810 Kevin Barbaro Productions: put it right back where she was and she just take care of her kittens and and and maybe adopt them out so again, this will in all likelihood be friendly right right out of the gates here so.00:05:55.320 --> 00:06:02.250 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Anyway, that's just a little update on what's going on with rocky's rescue and Chris did we last week.00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:18.930 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So one of my companies that I own is a live event production company, and so we do live concerts that's Kevin Barbara productions and we also do live sporting events that's kV sports separate company and.00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:27.960 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Last week we had a huge concert that was going to be taking place or that did take place on Saturday at the royal palace which.00:06:28.320 --> 00:06:37.830 Kevin Barbaro Productions: you'll hear me talk about a lot it's a it's a there's always an adventure at the old Palace and it's owned by the man's family that's my partner.00:06:38.340 --> 00:06:46.350 Kevin Barbaro Productions: In that venture is Bobby manzo Bobby man's ld is the great uncle of Johnny manzo former.00:06:46.890 --> 00:06:56.580 Kevin Barbaro Productions: heisman trophy winner, and so the he built the oil Palace well his dad started to build it that's a whole nother episode me talking about that entire story, but.00:06:57.210 --> 00:07:12.330 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I was supposed to go out there, we had Google fear may, which is a Mexican band, that is, a Spanish or or Latin grammy winners and we had like 7000 people or something like this anyway, I was going to drive out.00:07:13.350 --> 00:07:16.530 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And crown apple and diet vs.00:07:19.350 --> 00:07:23.310 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So I was going to drive out and leave on Wednesday now it's a bit of a hike but.00:07:24.330 --> 00:07:32.220 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Anybody that knows me knows that I am not afraid of road trip I travel all the time i'll drive 1000 miles doesn't.00:07:32.220 --> 00:07:45.420 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Make even one bit of difference in a matter of fact i'll drive thousand miles I don't even have the radio I won't even listen to music, I can just figure out my life and world peace in that thousand miles, but I probably drive about.00:07:47.220 --> 00:08:05.550 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Man, I want to say I drive 50,000 miles a year and I fly about 150,000 miles a year so i'm constantly on the go anyway, I was going to drive out and in the southeast there was a gas shortage, as everybody unless you've been living under a rock you know that.00:08:06.570 --> 00:08:23.010 Kevin Barbaro Productions: There was a hack and they held it the data for ransom and shut down the pen pipeline and the entire southeast for the most part, all the way up to Virginia almost a DC were there was a massive shortage gas well.00:08:24.210 --> 00:08:33.870 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I live in a resort town and I couldn't even I couldn't even you guess at one point on Wednesday or Tuesday of last week.00:08:34.530 --> 00:08:42.480 Kevin Barbaro Productions: There was in the city of myrtle beach where the metropolitan area myrtle beach, there were zero gas stations ahead gas zero.00:08:43.110 --> 00:08:57.420 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So here I am i'm thinking man i'm going to drive out to the oil palace, and I can't even gas up here in town so scratch that idea of going to fly right so by ticket last minute.00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:08.550 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And I actually this is gonna sound ridiculous but it's just me and the way I live my life, I made the decision and i'm going to talk about similar decisions like this.00:09:09.150 --> 00:09:21.690 Kevin Barbaro Productions: With my acting career and whatnot but I made the decision business wise over a year ago, almost two years ago now that I am going to fly first class okay now.00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:34.470 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Part of it, particularly during coven I was like if i'm going to fly them and flying first class, because then he got more space i'm only back at one person talks a lot of times it's one and two, and so I can just get the one seat on the side.00:09:35.520 --> 00:09:37.740 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But you also get you know free luggage you give.00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:48.390 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Priority seating priority ticketing and and and things like this, so there are benefits and PS those people that haven't flown first class.00:09:49.560 --> 00:09:56.340 Kevin Barbaro Productions: it's the only part of the plane, this still gets service never server so you still get your free drinks.00:09:57.030 --> 00:10:05.730 Kevin Barbaro Productions: in first class you still not only to get free drinks, but they give you food and everything else still and so anyway, I get my ticket.00:10:06.660 --> 00:10:14.280 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And dude it's it's a 800 and something dollars and i'm like okay well it's not I mean it's not terrible but it's but

terrible because part of our business to help them run these large concerts over 7000 people packed in there and.00:11:42.180 --> 00:11:57.540 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know, Texas, like a

and everything else and and full capacity.00:12:11.880 --> 00:12:18.720 Kevin Barbaro Productions: They don't make you wear masks they don't make your social distance and oddly enough, oddly enough, I don't know how this is even possible.00:12:19.470 --> 00:12:29.790 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But since they went full Open they've still had this massive decrease in the number of covert guests, I can't even wrap my head around it anyway.00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:40.710 Kevin Barbaro Productions: That was my week man that was my weekend that's just a typical week in in my life, but when we come

beginning and and the lessons that I learned and how I continue to adapt myself and adapt my career and put.00:13:02.130 --> 00:13:08.130 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know limitations on what i'm willing to work, for you know I I I determine my value.00:13:08.670 --> 00:13:14.160 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And these are great lessons free for anyone, whether you want to be an actor or it's just business or athletics, or whatever it is.00:13:14.400 --> 00:13:25.530 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And we're going to start that little journey you're going to go on with me here in just a couple of minutes and we'll be right back this is coffee talk XL i'm Kevin oral and you're listening to talk radio dot nyc.00:16:21.090 --> 00:16:34.080 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Welcome back everyone to coffee talk xml i'm Kevin Barbara and you're listening on talk radio dot nyc so little bit about me i'm going to give you a little reader's digest version here of my.00:16:35.310 --> 00:16:53.160 Kevin Barbaro Productions: My entry into the world of acting and how it's kind of evolved over the years here, and you know a lot of the decisions that I made and the lessons I learned from just a business standpoint to make it happen so long story short and.00:16:54.600 --> 00:17:07.950 Kevin Barbaro Productions: let's start in that in the beginning, so I used to college, I was an nc double a division one coach for 22 years was actually the only real job real career i'd ever had I I was you know I I was.00:17:08.490 --> 00:17:20.910 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I was a really good coach I mean I want a lot of you know, coach of the year award winning championships and a lot of will rank runners and and nationally ranked runners nationally ranked teams and, unfortunately.00:17:22.080 --> 00:17:33.210 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Things went belly up and that's a whole nother episode, but when things went belly up they really went belly up like I ended up losing not only my job I ended up losing my career.00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:49.470 Kevin Barbaro Productions: lost everything lost my house lost everything, and so, and it was public, it was a kind of an espn type thing and Yahoo, sports and everything else so anyway, needless to say, all of this goes down like a decade ago and.00:17:51.420 --> 00:18:06.750 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I go out to California, so my best friend in the world is my buddy rob Warren we call them Kramer also and rob actually is a music aficionado he's actually gonna be one of my guests your next week we're gonna be talking about the rock and roll hall of fame but.00:18:07.800 --> 00:18:13.620 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I go out to this place got a cool place out in Davis California he's got a great gig as a PR specialist.00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.350 Kevin Barbaro Productions: He was like national PR.00:18:17.850 --> 00:18:26.070 Kevin Barbaro Productions: administrator of the year for veterinary hospitals around the country and he's a uc Davis, one of the best institutions in the world for veterinary medicine.00:18:26.610 --> 00:18:38.160 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And he actually has it built in his home, which is really cool I hope we can see it when he's on the show he built an Irish pub in his house for no other reason that he could.00:18:39.450 --> 00:18:48.810 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So that is please I actually took the train all the way across the country, so I take the Amtrak from New York, all the way out to.00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:59.850 Kevin Barbaro Productions: California, it was a great trip i'm telling you if you have time on your hands, you want to see America dude take the train across country very cool.00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:17.550 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So I get out to California i'm there for like a week and just kind of let the dust settle and trying to decide, you know what it is i'm going to do so anyway last night that up there were sitting around the the we call it Nick Kramer the the Irish pub in his house and he's like dude.00:19:19.650 --> 00:19:23.820 Kevin Barbaro Productions: What are you going to do man like what's the what's the plan down.00:19:24.900 --> 00:19:27.210 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And I sat there for a second I was like.00:19:28.830 --> 00:19:30.660 Kevin Barbaro Productions: dude, let me tell you, let me tell you.00:19:31.800 --> 00:19:33.120 Kevin Barbaro Productions: you're going to think that i'm crazy.00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:35.220 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I said but.00:19:37.230 --> 00:19:38.310 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm going to be an accurate man.00:19:39.630 --> 00:19:41.310 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm going to be an actor i'm going to be like.00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:51.390 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I want to be like a legit actor, not just somebody that you know, is in the background, see me neither I want to be that guy I want to be, I want to be an actor.00:19:52.950 --> 00:19:56.580 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And he sat there for a second, then he looked at me and he said.00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:14.820 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I don't think that's crazy, you know, is a matter of fact you're just that guy you're that you're that guy you're the Center of attention guy you're the outgoing guy and and so that was the moment where decide this is what i'm going to do, and from that moment on.00:20:15.930 --> 00:20:20.310 Kevin Barbaro Productions: It literally I had no training i'd never been in anything before now.00:20:20.970 --> 00:20:30.360 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I had because I was a coach and a successful coach and I was on national committee's three ncaa and these kinds of things i'm used to being in front of a lot of people.00:20:31.020 --> 00:20:46.380 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm used to giving speeches in front of a lot of people I had my own radio show coffee talk XL which we have now my fourth version coffee talk began on the radio back during my coaching career, and so I used to be in front of people.00:20:47.940 --> 00:21:00.180 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But I had no idea how I was going to do it, I had no idea where to start or or how to even go about it so when what I ended up doing is I got back to Ohio and.00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:17.670 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I had a mutual friend that new a woman by the name of Wendy Davis Wendy own star bound talent agency which is in Toledo Ohio That was all and they're also in Miami and in La they got a New York office.00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:30.360 Kevin Barbaro Productions: They actually discovered katie Holmes now katie Holmes is from Toledo Ohio went to Notre Dame academy right down the road from where I live, and so.00:21:31.530 --> 00:21:32.730 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I gotta just rest, you know.00:21:33.870 --> 00:21:35.760 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Maybe i'm crazy, I mean I don't know.00:21:37.020 --> 00:21:42.900 Kevin Barbaro Productions: If if if it's even possible I said, but you know i'd really like to be an actor.00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:44.520 Kevin Barbaro Productions: and00:21:45.870 --> 00:22:05.790 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know, I just wanted to get your opinion, like what do you think you know so she said well just she gave me a mcdonald's commercial to memorize memorize this emotional and come back and i'm gonna have you acted out for me and and and i'll i'll just give him on spinning my sorry.00:22:08.070 --> 00:22:15.810 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So I have it memorized it and then rehearsing I tried to imagine if it really was a commercial what it would look like you know.00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:18.000 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So I go and I acted out.00:22:19.650 --> 00:22:20.340 Kevin Barbaro Productions: and00:22:21.600 --> 00:22:22.230 Kevin Barbaro Productions: She says.00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:27.060 Kevin Barbaro Productions: That was really good, you know that was really believable and.00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:34.290 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You have kind of a unique look like a memorable look people are going to remember you after they see you kind of look.00:22:36.210 --> 00:22:43.380 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know little bit like woody harrelson I get all the time, but and innovations that you know I think this can happen so.00:22:44.100 --> 00:22:55.650 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I ended up getting cast because right now i'm getting cast in a commercial for Hollywood casinos that was going to air in the cities that Hollywood casino serene and.00:22:56.580 --> 00:23:11.700 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I started taking classes with her and started really kind of picking their brains and and and listening to not just how to act, but also how to go about doing it, how to how do, how do you even get an audition so.00:23:13.230 --> 00:23:27.060 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I end up making the decision, because at this point, I had lost everything when I when when my coaching career ended, I mean I didn't do anything you know crazy didn't do anything illegal this I just and I just screwed up, I was, I was unethical just being honest.00:23:28.350 --> 00:23:29.970 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And so.00:23:30.990 --> 00:23:35.730 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I decided that i'm really going to go for them i'm going to you know i'm going to be online.00:23:36.990 --> 00:23:38.940 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And this is the first big decision right.00:23:40.110 --> 00:23:47.970 Kevin Barbaro Productions: When I was coaching all those years I would tell people all the time don't just say that you want to be good anybody can say.00:23:49.860 --> 00:23:56.400 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You got to live it you got to believe it, you have to be all in you can't have one foot in and one foot out.00:23:58.260 --> 00:24:03.330 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And so, taking my own advice I made the decision that.00:24:04.410 --> 00:24:10.680 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm going to be all in i'm going to i'm going to treat this like my acting career and I treat this like my coaching career.00:24:11.070 --> 00:24:20.400 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And i'm going to be all in i'm going to do everything that I can i'm going to do it the right way i'm not going to do anything to mess it up i'm not going to try to shortcut this but.00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:26.340 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm going to move to New York i'm going to live out of my car no exaggeration.00:24:27.540 --> 00:24:35.460 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I had a chevy H HR which is kind of a box to your version of a PT cruiser the backseat went down in it.00:24:36.750 --> 00:24:41.280 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And I literally had like a mattress that I had made.00:24:42.540 --> 00:25:03.390 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And I had comforters and I pillows so like the back, half of this car was essentially a giant single bed, and then the other half of that with both seats down was where I would keep like my bags and my backpack and everything else, and I headed to New York City and I told myself that.00:25:04.590 --> 00:25:05.220 Kevin Barbaro Productions: First of all.00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:17.130 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm going to audition for anything that I asked to on this side of the Mississippi I don't care if I got a drive to it, I don't care where it is.00:25:18.210 --> 00:25:20.730 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And at this time I don't really have.00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:34.800 Kevin Barbaro Productions: The knowledge in terms of how to go about getting the auditions like I knew that I needed to have a profile on the different casting networks, including casting networks.00:25:35.550 --> 00:25:45.060 Kevin Barbaro Productions: my very first one that I got was on backstage and backstage for mostly for New York actors and, although it does work for other areas of the country, but it is a.00:25:45.780 --> 00:25:56.040 Kevin Barbaro Productions: really big New York based casting website backstage.com so I made a profile again, you really can have any resume.00:25:56.700 --> 00:26:15.000 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And you don't really need a resume to get started, I mean need to have something, but even if you don't have anything you're going to have a headshot so I got professional headshots done at that time and I put together this casting and and really it it at the end of the day.00:26:16.110 --> 00:26:25.530 Kevin Barbaro Productions: yeah now later on in my career where i've done a tremendous amount of things and I have a lot of examples of my acting whether it's movie clips or.00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:36.570 Kevin Barbaro Productions: TV clips or commercial clips or whatever it is, I have a tremendous library that I have uploaded into these these casting websites, but back then.00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:51.780 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Really i'm just hoping that people see my headshot and think hey you know he kind of looks like a middle aged dad or you looks like somebody that you know we will at least give a chance to audition so.00:26:52.530 --> 00:27:11.490 Kevin Barbaro Productions: At that point, I decided that you know I need to get a survival job, something that is flexible, something that that can bring in enough money for me to just continue to parlay, because one thing that I learned pretty quickly is that a lot of actors.00:27:12.570 --> 00:27:25.530 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And a lot of aspiring actors, particularly are really hesitant to spend money on themselves, I mean the reality is like any business anybody I don't care what business that you're in.00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:38.610 Kevin Barbaro Productions: you're going to lose money at first, because you have to be investing in your business and I knew right from the beginning, just like with my with my coaching career that.00:27:39.690 --> 00:27:48.750 Kevin Barbaro Productions: As a coach in my coaching career, you are your career, you are, that person you your coach coach is not just your job it's your career, it is we want.00:27:49.440 --> 00:28:01.080 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And I took that same approach with my acting career, it is me that I am a business and I need to run my acting career, I need to run my life.00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:08.340 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Like a business and if you're not willing to do that, then you're not willing to really go all in on business, whether it's acting or not.00:28:08.850 --> 00:28:21.060 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But I made that decision and i'll take you through some more that the steps here in a minute we're going to pause for another commercial i'm Kevin or bro and you're listening to coffee talk XL on talk radio dot nyc.00:31:06.840 --> 00:31:10.140 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Welcome back everyone i'm jumping over you're listening to talk.00:31:10.320 --> 00:31:23.460 Kevin Barbaro Productions: you're listening to talk radio dot nyc, and this is coffee talk XL and we're going through my kind of evolution into the acting world and the business of acting and, as I was saying before the commercial break.00:31:25.470 --> 00:31:29.220 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You have to treat your career like a business and.00:31:30.420 --> 00:31:34.500 Kevin Barbaro Productions: A lot of people that's lost on a lot of people so just like with any business.00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:45.810 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You have to invest in it, and that that investments, not just in in time it's not just money but it's in time and emotion and everything else you have to invest.00:31:46.560 --> 00:31:59.520 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Without any expectation that you're going to get a return on that investment right away, and so, when I decided okay hey man i'm going to go i'm going to live out of my car to try and make this happen.00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:16.620 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I gave myself a time limit, now that time limit, what I said back then 10 years ago almost I said that i'm going to give it three years you know just like any business you got to give it three years to turn a profit.00:32:18.030 --> 00:32:18.540 Kevin Barbaro Productions: and00:32:19.590 --> 00:32:21.150 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Sometimes will happen, faster and that.00:32:22.320 --> 00:32:29.190 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Sometimes it may not even happen in those three years, but you you start to see you know some development, and it may go on, but.00:32:30.330 --> 00:32:38.910 Kevin Barbaro Productions: In my mind I said, you know I don't know what my talent level is just like when I was an athlete and just like when I was a coach.00:32:39.270 --> 00:32:46.500 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I don't know how good I can be, but what I do know is i'm never going to find out how good I can be unless i'm all in.00:32:47.130 --> 00:32:54.090 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Because, at the end of the day, i'm responsible for my success, nobody else I can't sit around waiting on a lottery shot.00:32:54.810 --> 00:32:58.770 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I have to make it happen, I have to, I have to carve my own path.00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:09.090 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And so I told myself that i'm going to give myself three years and, at the end of those three years I don't need to be in a list or Venus or even a seamless accurate, the end of three years.00:33:09.540 --> 00:33:17.790 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But what I do need to do is I what I do need to see is that this was a good decision, I need to see some development.00:33:18.570 --> 00:33:31.770 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I need to see some progression in it, not just in terms of finances coming in, obviously by booking gigs but, but also in my development as as an actor and as a businessman, and so.00:33:33.210 --> 00:33:34.080 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I end up.00:33:35.100 --> 00:33:44.250 Kevin Barbaro Productions: getting a job I talked about it, last week I got a job, working with a cat rescue actually and I also got a job, from my buddy.00:33:45.420 --> 00:33:54.360 Kevin Barbaro Productions: out on long island driving black car service doing airport runs and limousine service, it was great because it was great money and.00:33:55.380 --> 00:34:05.520 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Essentially you know you were in a position where I I he was cool with the fact that, like sometimes i'd have to go on in addition or i'd have to head into the city and I couldn't work these kinds of things so.00:34:07.140 --> 00:34:09.330 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I decided that.00:34:10.410 --> 00:34:22.320 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Like I said i'm going to i'm going to i'm going to put myself in a position where I can audition for anything decided east coast, so there were times I mean no exaggeration, because back then now it's different in the audition.00:34:23.490 --> 00:34:30.000 Kevin Barbaro Productions: In the audition world very rarely because of coven are you doing in person.00:34:31.050 --> 00:34:39.720 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Casting now i'm the entire thing is changed the entire industry has changed and I don't see it going back I I see it, primarily being.00:34:41.910 --> 00:34:50.490 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Either virtual or taped auditions and because even right now, some places have opened up i've done a couple of in person callbacks.00:34:51.090 --> 00:35:05.550 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But the reality is pretty much everything is is on tape and which is great for actors now because you don't necessarily need to be in the city all the time because back then man, you had to live.00:35:06.240 --> 00:35:15.420 Kevin Barbaro Productions: either in the city or near the city, so that you can make it to these auditions well now it's completely changed, but in any event, I made the decision I was in so.00:35:16.680 --> 00:35:33.840 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I was living on my homework basically a typical day for me back then was that I would park my car in New York City park on riverside drive for free riverside drive and central park central park West, you can park for free.00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:44.700 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But they got alternate side parking so you know every other day you got to move your car, so the street clean and then you gotta move it back into the spot, that you were in or find another spot.00:35:46.230 --> 00:35:55.620 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And my car had attended windows and I would just sleep on the bed, and do, let me tell you something I mean for two winners in New York City it got.00:35:57.150 --> 00:36:03.930 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know, in the negatives multiple nights but in the car I wasn't really that.00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:14.640 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I wasn't really that cold in the car because I had my own he i'm actually i'm an outdoorsman also, and so I had a.00:36:16.350 --> 00:36:20.910 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I had a sleeping bag that was tempered for.00:36:22.080 --> 00:36:39.360 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Negative 40 so I could I could literally sleep all night and sleep comfortably in the car and wake up each day I would I would pack a bag backpack and I would have a duffel bag, with my workout clothes, and I would head into the city or take the subway down into into.00:36:41.910 --> 00:36:46.530 Kevin Barbaro Productions: hell's kitchen or in that area, and I would um.00:36:48.750 --> 00:37:01.500 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know, spend most of my day auditioning or submitting myself for auditions or taking acting classes, one of the biggest things that I learned very early on, thank God, was that.00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:04.830 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm only going to get so far.00:37:06.930 --> 00:37:16.290 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Unless I learned the tree, I have to learn the trade, just like any business, you have you have to immerse yourself in that business.00:37:17.310 --> 00:37:28.980 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And you have to be a sponge for knowledge one big thing with me was that I was actually so i'm kind of if i'm all in on something that i'm all in i'm going to remember.00:37:29.850 --> 00:37:43.650 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Everything that's told to me because any little piece of information is going to be great information for me for the future, so I would listen I would watch I was constantly watching YouTube videos of.00:37:45.030 --> 00:37:59.340 Kevin Barbaro Productions: of actors that I respected, and I was what I was watching not really was them acting, but I was watching videos of them in on in interviews talking about acting talking about the business of it and.00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:09.030 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Kevin spacey now of course obviously his whole life went belly up since this time but, at the time, I had a tremendous amount of respect for the guy.00:38:09.810 --> 00:38:22.770 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Who didn't for his acting career started from scratch lived in a studio apartment etc, etc, in New York City and one big thing that he said was hey know your lines be on time.00:38:23.700 --> 00:38:32.040 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Those two things sadly enough most actors don't get it, and the reality is, if you think about it from like a business standpoint.00:38:33.390 --> 00:38:37.320 Kevin Barbaro Productions: That happens out in the business world, to me, I i'm partners in construction company.00:38:38.190 --> 00:38:55.290 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And I can't tell you how many jobs that we've booked as a construction company, simply because you showed up on time, simply because we return the phone call I mean it's crazy to think that people that this is lost on Sunday, but anyway.00:38:56.610 --> 00:38:57.810 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I started, you know.00:38:59.040 --> 00:39:08.460 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Trying to you know make my way through the the rigors of New York City, and I was basically taking for the most part, I would just take anything with it was a student film.00:39:09.090 --> 00:39:18.450 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Now, the one thing that I made the decision early on that I would not do is I didn't want to be a background I didn't want to be an extra.00:39:19.560 --> 00:39:28.140 Kevin Barbaro Productions: In my mind it's not acting now there's a need for background actors there's need for extras and and all these things and and for some people.00:39:28.560 --> 00:39:41.910 Kevin Barbaro Productions: that's great you know I don't judge them for me it's just it's not what I wanted it's not what I wanted to be a part of because to me it's not acting so I made the decision early on i'm not going to do background.00:39:43.380 --> 00:39:50.040 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And, of course, that puts a little bit more pressure on yourself, because at this point now you're saying that.00:39:50.670 --> 00:40:01.350 Kevin Barbaro Productions: you're only going to accept supporting roles or lead roles and it and that's kind of a bold statement or kind of a bold move or old gamble.00:40:01.950 --> 00:40:10.980 Kevin Barbaro Productions: When you don't really you haven't really booked a lot of things so anyway, I mean it's not like it was easy I mean, obviously I mean it.00:40:11.550 --> 00:40:24.690 Kevin Barbaro Productions: it's one of the toughest professions to to to be a part of and to be successful and i'm really lucky, in my opinion that, then I am able to work so much and i've done so many things.00:40:25.980 --> 00:40:30.270 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But it's a tough racket and I can tell you, like I.00:40:32.640 --> 00:40:34.860 Kevin Barbaro Productions: it's not like I didn't think about quitting.00:40:36.450 --> 00:40:45.840 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Okay anybody that has ever really wanted to do something and it's taken on a challenge and gambled on themselves because that's really what I was doing was gambling on myself right.00:40:47.040 --> 00:40:58.650 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Anybody this gambled on themselves, has gotten, to the point where like man what am I do you know what what's going on here, and I can tell you that there was a point I can tell you the exact.00:40:59.700 --> 00:41:14.970 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Time that this happened, I had an audition down on like 36 avenue or 30 36th street and 10th Okay, and it went terrible it went or both to this day, the worst audition ever and.00:41:15.630 --> 00:41:28.140 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Part of it was that I didn't go into the audition with my side my my copy of the script I thought I was just going to go in, I was going to wow them with in my ability to memorize you know.00:41:28.710 --> 00:41:39.120 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And so I go in it's a total disaster, you know I, and I just like you know what am I going to say guy says the casting director says listen.00:41:39.870 --> 00:41:50.700 Kevin Barbaro Productions: we're not going to catch you i'm gonna be awesome, but I can see there's some you know some talent there with you don't ever go into an audition without your site ever.00:41:51.330 --> 00:42:05.250 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And i'm like man filing that right, so I leave it's the middle of the winter time dude I got zero money in my pocket zero money in my wallet at this time, you needed the metro card was like to 25 to ride the subway.00:42:06.060 --> 00:42:17.700 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So I don't even have to 25 on my on my car, I mean I got I got less than that and i'm too proud to ask somebody to sway me in and i'm too proud to jump to the thing.00:42:18.330 --> 00:42:29.940 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So I walk 100 blocks or 100 blocks to where my car was parked it took me I don't even remember, was in the middle of the winter and snow and I was like an hour and a half.00:42:30.450 --> 00:42:39.240 Kevin Barbaro Productions: walked my car I get in my car and freezing cold and i'm like you know what this is this is crazy what am I doing.00:42:39.810 --> 00:42:46.440 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And i'll finish the story when we come back from commercial but, basically, I wake up the next morning, I have a missed call.00:42:46.830 --> 00:42:55.320 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And it's for my first speaking role and TV commercial which ended up ultimately leading to my screen actors Guild eligibility.00:42:55.590 --> 00:43:05.880 Kevin Barbaro Productions: It happened that day day after I almost could see myself quit and we'll talk about more of that in a minute i'm Kevin Barbara you're listening to coffee talk XL on talk radio dot nyc.00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:21.420 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Welcome back everyone you copy Doc XL.00:45:21.510 --> 00:45:23.160 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And more bro you're listening on.00:45:23.370 --> 00:45:27.720 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Talk radio dot nyc thanks for tuning in once again that's my last segment.00:45:28.140 --> 00:45:39.060 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm going to continue this conversation in an probably the next episode, I mean I it's impossible for me to explain the entire business of acting in one shot, but in any event.00:45:40.020 --> 00:45:47.010 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Taking you i've taken you up to the point where I could see that line I could see that line in front of me where.00:45:47.580 --> 00:45:57.570 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I think that the average person would have given up because at this point I I didn't feel as though things were happening, I mean I.00:45:58.230 --> 00:46:07.140 Kevin Barbaro Productions: was doing all the right things, I was taking classes and I was working hard, and you know, making the sacrifices, making the investment myself.00:46:08.130 --> 00:46:16.290 Kevin Barbaro Productions: and putting time into learning the craft I I have probably the best acting coach in the country in Richard Klein Richard.00:46:17.220 --> 00:46:25.920 Kevin Barbaro Productions: was on three's company, he was leery Dallas on three's company and but he's done so much more than that, but that that was really what kick started his career.00:46:26.460 --> 00:46:37.380 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But he really taught me about the art of acting and I continue to go to him as a resource until we can get back to having actual acting classes together but.00:46:38.370 --> 00:46:51.000 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Really taught me how to just be natural just be myself and that's really helped me so much in my career i'm like I was saying you've got to be all in.00:46:51.840 --> 00:47:02.910 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Your other on in my mind you're either all in or you're all out there no through direction you have to invest the time and the money, and you have to.00:47:03.420 --> 00:47:21.030 Kevin Barbaro Productions: be willing to take some hits because man i'm telling you I there was that line for me where I could have given up but I didn't and you know there were a lot of things that I mean you gotta kind of humble yourself to because acting is really I mean.00:47:22.530 --> 00:47:29.130 Kevin Barbaro Productions: it's a unique business and that you are constantly putting yourself out there and you're putting yourself out there.00:47:30.090 --> 00:47:40.680 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Knowing that chances are you're going to get rejected because nobody I don't care how much you book nobody's booking 100% of their auditions you know, so you essentially you know.00:47:42.090 --> 00:47:49.830 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I kind of used to use this analogy, when I was coaching track, excuse me let's go to track, I think you know in baseball.00:47:50.850 --> 00:48:06.720 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You could fail 70% of the time, and you, you could still end up making it into the hall of fame you can be considered one of the best ever any field 70% of the time, and that really rings true in all aspects of life, listen.00:48:06.780 --> 00:48:08.670 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You don't it's not going to be.00:48:09.750 --> 00:48:13.470 Kevin Barbaro Productions: All sunshine and roses it's not going to be you're not going to bad at Dallas.00:48:13.710 --> 00:48:31.800 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Well, you have to do is, you have to put yourself out there be willing to fail, that 70% or even 90% of the time, so that you can really enjoy those wins and those bookings or the or or in the world of business those those those big contracts or whatever it is that you do and so.00:48:32.820 --> 00:48:37.800 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know I I put myself out there, I gambled and really.00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:42.480 Kevin Barbaro Productions: What I had to really humble myself to was.00:48:44.250 --> 00:48:54.390 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i've got to be the best version of myself when I go into these auditions I have to be the best version of what they're looking for.00:48:55.080 --> 00:49:02.400 Kevin Barbaro Productions: That doesn't mean have to force it, but basically for me in my world I said, you know i've gotta I gotta have curb appeal.00:49:02.850 --> 00:49:10.890 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Alright you're in real estate world you under you know you understand curb appeal it or just in the world of business, you can have a restaurant.00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:29.880 Kevin Barbaro Productions: That has the greatest chefs in the world, you know Gordon Ramsay there, but if it looks like a dump on the outside, no one's going it doesn't matter How nice it is on the inside people want to see it to be inviting so as a person i'd say okay what What about me, can I improve.00:49:31.050 --> 00:49:36.060 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know, and this is this that you know you gotta be honest with yourself and so like with me.00:49:37.740 --> 00:49:47.040 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I really had to embrace who, I am as an actor what is my brand what is, you know what is it that makes me special.00:49:48.300 --> 00:49:57.420 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And, and every business should be thinking this all the time, and you need to be adapting also growing with it, but so I basically say you know listen.00:49:58.680 --> 00:50:02.640 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm not a bad looking guy run know model okay um yeah.00:50:04.380 --> 00:50:15.360 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know you gotta be honest with yourself, I can be anybody's neighbor so I just need to be the best version of me the best version of anybody's neighbor that I can be.00:50:16.110 --> 00:50:23.400 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And if you look at me now I mean for us being in shape and these kinds of things, I mean those are important for me it.00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:29.670 Kevin Barbaro Productions: doesn't have to be for everybody, but in order for me to be the best version that that's what I feel like I do, I have to be fit.00:50:30.630 --> 00:50:37.860 Kevin Barbaro Productions: But I also had to start realizing you know how what's the best haircut for me.00:50:38.670 --> 00:50:48.030 Kevin Barbaro Productions: what's the best facial here, for me, I I early on in my career, I didn't even think of these things because i'm just thinking about you know just be like I am you know I.00:50:48.600 --> 00:50:54.090 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I had the full goatee not that not that groomed one that I have now, and I would just take.00:50:54.630 --> 00:51:00.690 Kevin Barbaro Productions: The clippers and I would just use a number two you know just to get it all the same I and then then once i'm.00:51:01.140 --> 00:51:10.410 Kevin Barbaro Productions: On a on a gig and the end the hair and makeup girl is like do you mind if I shape your goatee now i'm like sure have added.00:51:11.100 --> 00:51:21.570 Kevin Barbaro Productions: So she shapes it so that it's so that it tapers itself, you know and she's like you should do this, all the time and i'm thinking to myself how did I miss that.00:51:22.170 --> 00:51:32.850 Kevin Barbaro Productions: yeah I mean I bet i've had the same go to for like you know 10 years you know I i'm not even thinking about that, but she's like you know this suit your face more so, then it was like okay.00:51:33.600 --> 00:51:42.750 Kevin Barbaro Productions: that's interesting what else Should I be doing, you know and what else should I need to invest in joy, I need to invest more in how am I here style.00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:44.790 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You know how I look.00:51:47.070 --> 00:51:49.530 Kevin Barbaro Productions: moisturize telling you like.00:51:51.690 --> 00:51:53.460 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I have a friend that.00:51:54.900 --> 00:51:58.050 Kevin Barbaro Productions: At our 10th highschool reunion.00:51:59.250 --> 00:52:08.820 Kevin Barbaro Productions: At our 10th high school reunion his name is Ken and Ken I was like dude you don't look like you've aged a second you know this is back waiting for I was an actor.00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:22.530 Kevin Barbaro Productions: young age, a minute bro he's like I use moisturizer like who does that right what guy uses that was it like dying moisturizer he's like no it's women's moisturizer but like skin is skin.00:52:23.730 --> 00:52:31.500 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And at the time I didn't think it would mean anything to me I just thought it was crazy now as an actor, I can tell you 100%.00:52:32.220 --> 00:52:43.830 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I use women's I got to get it from the women's out because there is, there is no men's version of this but I use anti aging moisturizing cream.00:52:44.310 --> 00:52:51.390 Kevin Barbaro Productions: not afraid to say that man I gotta fight off Father time i'm you know i'm 51 years old, what am I i'm not getting any younger.00:52:52.260 --> 00:53:10.800 Kevin Barbaro Productions: it's just another investment in me it's another investment in in in my curb appeal as I go out there and same thing with my hair, you know stop getting a $10 haircut because that's just a haircut you need to invest get a hairstyle you know.00:53:11.910 --> 00:53:27.360 Kevin Barbaro Productions: My head shots you look, if you look at my headshots now compared to my head shots back then, you know nine years ago 10 years ago it's crazy the difference, not just because I physically looks different I mean.00:53:28.620 --> 00:53:38.550 Kevin Barbaro Productions: i'm in better shape now than I was in these kinds of things, but I invested, I went listen you don't have to do this, but I flew all the way to La for my headshots.00:53:39.210 --> 00:53:51.180 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I I got Joanna the generous to do my headshots cheese Ellen degeneracy his sister in law and it wasn't cheap, but let me tell you something man.00:53:51.270 --> 00:53:53.040 Kevin Barbaro Productions: It was worth every penny.00:53:53.250 --> 00:54:10.080 Kevin Barbaro Productions: To go out there and get my headshots done because I can tell you from the moment that I uploaded the my headshots my new headshots to my agencies and to just my own casting networks and and actors access and everything else.00:54:11.130 --> 00:54:19.590 Kevin Barbaro Productions: I had already been getting a lot of auditions i'm telling you, it has skyrocketed i'm doing bare minimum here minimum I get 10 on missions, a week.00:54:20.220 --> 00:54:31.920 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And these are all principal rules, these are all you know speaking roles these these this is in background stuff and it's all because I have invested in that, and so.00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:42.120 Kevin Barbaro Productions: Like I said there's a lot more to this, and I can talk about it future episodes but really the main things to take away is you gotta gamble.00:54:43.260 --> 00:54:45.300 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You gotta gamble you gotta go all in.00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:54.150 Kevin Barbaro Productions: You got to take the attitude you're going to be all in or all out and i'd rather be all in you have to accept the fact that you're going to fail.00:54:54.750 --> 00:55:08.670 Kevin Barbaro Productions: A lot of times man, a lot of times you got to accept the fact that you may not turn a profit, this is any business, you may not turn a profit for three years, you may not see any any real wins for those that amount of time, but you got to keep plugging.00:55:09.690 --> 00:55:23.610 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And the biggest thing that to take away from all of this is, you have to invest invest in yourself believe in yourself, I have this unwavering belief in myself I know.00:55:24.120 --> 00:55:33.030 Kevin Barbaro Productions: That i'm not going to fail, I know i'm not going to fail as an actor as a businessman and i'm personally as a as a human i'm not going to fail.00:55:33.690 --> 00:55:41.700 Kevin Barbaro Productions: And we'll talk about more of this in in future episodes hopefully you got a good brief overview of acting and how that relates to business and whatnot.00:55:42.150 -->

One of the earliest Farmers Markets in America, in Davis California, is also widely recognized as one of the best. The history of the Davis Farmers Market begins with the social awakening of the late 1960s and early 1970s, which set the stage for the establishment of alternative, local food systems. Since then, farmers’ markets, led by Davis, a college town in the Sacramento Valley, and by California, have exploded across the country. Today, there are more than 8,000farmers’ markets nationwide – more than 700 of them in California. The Davis market, in the city’s Central Park, takes up about a third of a 5-acre park on Saturday mornings and more on Wednesday evenings during Picnic in the Park. It operates under a pavilion built with public funds, and it draws 7,000 to 10,000 people each week. Randii MacNear has been the Executive Director of the market from the very beginning and deserves much credit for its success.  With some introductory music from Banjo Fiddle, RandiiMacNear joins our table talk about the visible heart beat of many communities, their Farmers Market. www.davisfarmersmarket.org www.banjofiddle.com

Deanne tells us how she got her start in the outdoors and the great work Camber is doing in the outdoor community including their terrific mentoring program. Facebook Twitter   Instagram The Outdoor Biz Podcast   patreon.com/theoutdoorbizpodcast   Please give us a rating and review HERE   Show Notes Deanne tells us how she got her start in the outdoors and the great work Camber is doing in the outdoor community including their terrific mentoring program. First Exposure to the Outdoors There was about not much difference between my life outdoors my life indoors. We were playing outside all the time. I remember in the summer our screen door would slam and my mom would make it back by dinnertime. When I reflect on growing up I often say I didn't know the difference between public land and private land it just was in there, it was just all outdoors. We lived on a lake and went swimming, I rode my bike everywhere. We had snowmobiles, jet skis and I feel like I grew up in the outdoors. That said I am also very much a team sport sort of person. When I got to college I graduated from University of Nebraska Omaha and met someone who had grown up in Davis California. He was a climber and raft guide and he started saying you know there's this thing called rock climbing, so I would say that it was different the first time I went into the mountains. It was it was intimidating, I didn't know how to find a trail but I really did find that I started to very quickly really focus my life around my love for being outdoors and for the mountains and trail running. The outdoors is very much been a part of my life my entire life it's just becoming many different iterations. Things we talked about Adventure 16 Kern River Tours Camber Outdoors Camber Job Board Camber Events (exchanges) Advice, tips I think there's a lot of ways that people can get in to be out there, especially young people. One is making sure that they stay active and pursue their passion, another great way to get involved in the industry and learn a lot about it is retail. I had a couple retail jobs at Mountain Sports in Boulder and Adventure 16 and I still have friends from that period. It doesn't matter which retailer you're at it is still a good way to get started. It is a great way to get to know people. I think applying for jobs that you're interested in.Camber has something called the exchanges and they're in cities all around the country. They are a great way for someone to come and learn about the industry.

Today, we’re actually bringing back an old favorite while we generate some new content for you. Back in 2015, in Davis California, we brought superintendents from across California together at an EdSurge event to chat about data and assessment, and how it gets best used in the classroom. How can we use data to make sure that we’re improving student achievement? How does one even define “student achievement”? We talked to Bryant Wong CTO, Summit Public Schools Devin Dillon CAO, Oakland USD Gregory Firn Superintendent in Residence & Director of Strategic Partnerships,, Dreambox Learning; and Alix Guerrier President/Co-Founder, LearnZillion, on a panel to answer these questions and more. We’ll get to that in a second, but first, the news.
