This week I'm speaking with Liz Lambert. If you've visited Austin's South Congress over the last twenty years, chances are you have Liz to thank, though you may not realize it. While the pandemic certainly escalated the migration to the Live Music Capital of the World, the trend began far earlier, and one could argue that a sea foam green motel was the spark that ignited a wildfire.Shortly after leaving the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and returning to her home state of Texas, Liz found herself standing in the parking lot of the Hotel San José with a bottle of champagne in one hand and the keys to front door in the other, with nothing more than instinct and her fundamental understanding of what Christopher Alexander called ‘the quality without a name' to guide her.A trained storyteller, not even Liz could have written the adventure that would follow, which culminated in her transforming over half a dozen properties throughout Texas and Mexico as well as establishing herself as one of the most influential hoteliers of our time, only to see her legacy taken from her in a twist even Liz admits she didn't see coming. It's easy to draw parallels between Liz's experience and that of the town she helped to make famous, but as with any hero's journey, the road back leads to resurrection, and it's safe to say both stories are far from over.Often imitated but never duplicated, please enjoy Liz Lambert on The Days Between..
As we wind down the month of July and head into the Days Between, I came across this recording from the historic July 1976 run at the Orpheum Theatre - San Francisco, CA which I thought was most enjoyable so I wanted to share it with you. This is from the second night, July 13. I hadn't heard the show in this quality before so I hope you enjoy it. Some of the highlights here include a very pretty 'Peggy-O' and a truly wonderful 'Crazy Fingers'. Checck out Phil on the latter and how the spanish-type jam just goes on and on... that goes into a very nice 'Let It Grow' and then to a rare first-set 'drums' segment. Grateful Dead 1976-07-13 Orpheum Theatre - San Francisco, CA Set 1: Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo Big River Peggy-O Cassidy Tuning/Banter Crazy Fingers > Let It Grow > Drums Might As Well You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod072922.mp3 Thanks for listening - I hope you enjoy!
This week I'm speaking with the Reverend Dr. Donna Schaper. Over the course of her nearly 50 year career in pastoral ministry, Reverend Schaper has led 8 congregations, and in almost every instance was the first woman in that position, starting at the age of 23.It was at the University of Chicago Divinity School where she connected with community organizer Saul Alinksy, helping to shape her views on leadership as well as fueling her passion for activism, which ultimately led her to organize against the Lutheran Church when they refused to ordain women. As the Senior Minister of New York City's Judson Memorial Church, Reverend Schaper's philosophy of bringing those outside of religion in, saw her lead services for sex workers, opioid users, as well as the undocumented and non-believers. During our conversation, we discuss her fundamental trust in the goodness of the universe, the power in forgiveness, and the danger in what she calls ‘crappy religion'. Reverend Schaper's beliefs may surprise and challenge some, as they have the Me Too movement and the Coral Gable Garden Club, but her wisdom and fundamental understanding of human nature, in addition to her compassion, is undeniable. It is my pleasure to present the Reverend Dr. Donna Schaper on The Days Between..
This week I'm speaking with Allison Moorer. It would be easy to look at Allison's life and focus on the details, but in doing so, one may miss the larger picture.As a singer and songwriter, her efforts have earned her an Academy of Country Music nomination, a Grammy nomination, and her debut single was nominated for an Oscar. Allison has released 11 albums and has also appeared on several collaborations, and toured extensively.As an author, she has written two books. Her first, ‘Blood: A Memoir', began in part as the result of a silent spark ignited by Dr. Maya Angelou. The book documents her journey toward understanding a family tragedy that on several levels, defies comprehension, but as she states, is a defining moment, and in some ways, defines everything about her.Her second book, ‘I Dream He Talks To Me' is a love letter to her son, and explores her experience raising a child with what she calls ‘extra challenges' and the gift of earned wisdom and opportunities for grace parenting presents on a daily basis, through heartache as well as victories both big and small.Allison is a musician, she is a writer, she is a mother, she is a sister, and she is a daughter. She carries all these titles and a couple more which you'll hear through the course of our conversation. However, if one were to take a few steps back, and look at the collective sum of the roles she plays, it is clear, Allison Moorer is above all else, an artist, with her greatest work being her life.It is my privilege to present Allison Moorer on The Days Between..

This week I'm speaking with Ethan Suplee. As an actor, Ethan found success almost instantly and has gone on to appear in dozens of films and televisions shows over the span of his three decades in Hollywood. Despite having achieved what many dream of early in his career, Ethan's private struggle with his weight, his relationship with food, and what he calls his ‘mental garbage' has at times dominated his personal narrative.A seemingly well meaning, but misplaced attempt to course correct at the young age of 5, set him on rollercoaster of weight loss and weight gain that not only took a physical toll, but a mental and emotional one as well. In 2017, a short, but impactful TED talk, while simple in message, radically changed Ethan's mindset and approach to food and nutrition. Armed with this practical information, and in combination with the same work ethic that he has applied professionally, Ethan has now reached a level of physical well-being that can only be described as inspiring.While his story is unique, the struggle for self-acceptance and the desire to change one's appearance is not. Everyday, people attempt to navigate the road to physical health, having to sidestep confusing and contradictory information, dead end diets, and miracle cures. Through the course of our conversation, we discuss the importance of small goals, killing your clone, and the affect that words, however well intentioned, can have on shaping a person's destiny. Everyone is different and every body is different, but as Ethan has shown, through daily practice we all have the ability to transform ourselves, and the long term positive effect of that transformation, can be profound. Please enjoy Ethan Suplee on The Days Between..

This week I'm speaking with Tristan Prettyman. As a songwriter, she has had plenty to say about love over the course of her career. From the pain of an engagement ended, to young love lost, Tristan has suffered her fair share of heartache, and at times very publicly. Her ability to channel those experiences into song, set Tristan on an unconventional career path that led to a major record label debut shortly after finishing high school.Her personal mantra of just saying ‘yes' and choosing the road less traveled, created opportunities that only re-enforced the strength of her own internal intuition, and combined with a work ethic inherited from her father, set the stage for much of her success, including what she calls her most important to date, motherhood.A proponent of self work and therapy, Tristan offers her experience navigating the end of a marriage, learning to co-parent, and her ever evolving definition of love. Whether you're single, married, or someplace in-between, Tristan's story is proof in the power of vulnerability to lead us to places we may never have imagined for ourselves, but are often times, exactly where we belong. As she shares, life may play out different than we expect, but by remaining open to possibility and allowing our egos to take a back seat, different can actually mean, better.Please enjoy Tristan Prettyman on The Days Between..

We are beyond honored to welcome former Grateful Dead vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay herself to hear the wondrous story of how she went from Alabama to the top of the charts before fate led her to San Francisco, Keith Godchaux, and the Grateful Dead.GUEST: Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay
This week I'm speaking with Bo Bushnell. Bo has had many titles throughout the course of his career, but it's his latest that has certainly brought him the most attention. As the creator of the Outlaw Archive and the Research Institute for Contemporary Outlaws, he has made it his mission to document and record as many living members of the outlaw biker gangs that roamed Southern California in the late 50's and early 60's, as he can manage to track down.It was an unsolicited email that set Bo on this path, which has been his singular focus for nearly a decade. A pursuit that has at times left him significantly in debt, homeless, and in direct odds with modern day clubs, including the Hells Angels. Not one who easily deterred, Bo has approached his task with a tenacity that may defy logic to some, but has also executed it with an intelligence that commands respect by all.Much like the bikers he is chasing, Bo has remained committed to living life on his terms. We discuss his passion for the past, the cost of his obsession, and how a twist of fate has thus far managed to keep him out of harm's way. Bob Dylan once wrote, ‘to live outside the law, you must be honest' and whether intentionally or not, it appears as though Bo has taken that line to heart. But I'll let you decide that for yourself..Here's Bo Bushnell on The Days Between.

This week I'm speaking with Lysa Cooper. Some people are defined by their careers and some careers are defined by a person. In the world of styling, few have had an imprint as lasting as Lysa's. From hip hop to rock-n-roll and from the stage to the big screen, Lysa Cooper knows everyone, and she's not afraid to tell you.Having left home as a teenager with a work ethic far beyond her years, she navigated the nightlife of 1980's New York City creating a name for herself as well known as the clubs and restaurants in which she worked. Photographer Ellen Von Unwerth recognized and encouraged Lysa's aesthetic talents early on, setting the stage for a life and career that can only be described as legendary.While the mark she has left on fashion and entertainment is undeniable, it's Lysa's natural ability to cut through the noise and fondness for connection, that has allowed her to create a global community of people from every walk of life, which she describes as her true abundance, and is seemingly a nod to her Quaker upbringing.As she embraces the latest chapter of her story as a medicinal healer, we discuss the importance of not being attached to one identity of yourself, the changing definition of celebrity, and why she won't take creative direction from people with bad shoes.Please sit back and enjoy the one and only Lysa Cooper on The Days Between..

This week I'm speaking with Amber Farr. As a clothing designer and CEO Amber will tell you her primary goal is to spark joy, but don't let her modest demeanor fool you. Armed with little more than a naturally competitive instinct and an eye for fit, Amber took her line Flynn Skye from the living room to over a million dollars in sales in just 2 years. A success made all the more impressive having had no formal education in business or fashion.Amber was one of the first to realize and then harness the marketing power of Instagram and in the process launched the careers of some of the biggest names in modeling today. A move that helped to define what would become the influencer economy. Her natural business sense is eclipsed only by her gift for design, which has enabled her to create a distinct look that is often imitated but never duplicated, though many brands have tried.As mounting pressure from the industry to produce more and faster took her farther away from her ‘why' she became disillusioned with the emotional and environmental impact of fast fashion, and made a choice that would surprise many, but ultimately stayed true to her initial passion. Never one to let the fear of the unknown stop her, Amber shares her latest venture, the value of collaboration, and why it's always important to bet on yourself.So with that, here's Amber Farr on The Days Between..

This week I'm speaking with Rabbi Sherre Hirsch. From Sunday mornings spent preaching to the shoes in her closet as a child, to becoming the first female rabbi of the largest conservative synagogue in Los Angeles, Sherre has dedicated her life to sharing Jewish wisdom with the world.A best selling author two times over, her practical and human approach to spirituality and religion has made her a frequent guest of The Today Show and garnered her admirers around the world. A strong advocate of having faith in oneself, her words and council have helped shepherd countless people through life's transitions, ranging from the everyday to the end of life.With opinions and views that can at times seem contradictory to someone in her position, she is bold, she is brave, and she is above all else, honest. Sherre's accessible and common sense approach to living has made her a trusted advisor to people from all walks of life and religious backgrounds, and I think through the course of our conversation you'll come to understand why.Please enjoy Rabbi Sherre Hirsch on The Days Between..

Enter Keith GodchauxThe Deadcast opens its 4th season with one of the most unlikely but totally true stories in Grateful Dead history: how Keith & Donna Jean Godchaux approached Jerry Garcia at a bar and announced that Keith was the Dead's new keyboardist, going deep into Godchaux family history.GUESTS: Brian Godchaux, Donna Jean Godchaux MacKay, Greg Anton, Sandy Rothman
This week I'm speaking with Butch Walker. From cutting his teeth as a teenager during the salad days of the raucous Sunset Strip, to writing and producing power pop hits for some of the biggest stars of today, as a musician and producer, Butch has seen it all. His passion for music and a commitment to doing the work, has given him the longevity and perspective to successfully navigate the changing winds of the music business for over three decades. As a solo artist, he is able to, in his own words ‘fly below the radar', free of outside interference creating exactly what he wants, when he wants, and in the process, garner a loyal following willing to show up time and again to support his musical exploration.Butch has achieved success on a level many dream about but few are able to reach, only to, on more than one occasion, have it all taken away, sometimes overnight. Relying on a Do It Yourself work ethic, he has rebuilt his career stronger every time, all the while maintaining a humility and sense of humor that is uniquely his own. But rather than take my word for it, here's Butch Walker on The Days Between..

From cutting his teeth as a teenager during the salad days of the raucous Sunset Strip, to writing and producing power pop hits for some of the biggest stars of today, as a musician and producer, Butch has seen it all. His passion for music and a commitment to doing the work, has given him the longevity and perspective to successfully navigate the changing winds of the music business for over three decades. As a solo artist, he is able to, in his own words ‘fly below the radar', free of outside interference creating exactly what he wants, when he wants, and in the process, garner a loyal following willing to show up time and again to support his musical exploration.Butch has achieved success on a level many dream about but few are able to reach, only to, on more than one occasion, have it all taken away, sometimes overnight. Relying on a Do It Yourself work ethic, he has rebuilt his career stronger every time, all the while maintaining a humility and sense of humor that is uniquely his own. But rather than take my word for it, here's Butch Walker on The Days Between..
This week I'm speaking with Miranda Whitcomb Pontes. A self-described serial entrepreneur, Miranda's imprint and influence on the Nashville restaurant and hospitality scene is immeasurable. There are a few people in this world who can carry themselves on their first name alone, and in my experience, Miranda is certainly one of them.As I mention in our discussion, you could throw a rock in Nashville and it would be impossible not to hit someone who has either worked for or has visited one of the restaurants she helped bring to life. In 2012, she suffered a very personal tragedy in a very public way and not only had to endure the fallout from that tragedy, but find a way to pick herself up, and with the help of the community, continue to keep moving forward and ultimately thrive.Miranda's story is proof that success can be defined in many different ways and is also more often than not created through unconventional choices and taking paths where the outcome isn't always clear, but the instinct and feeling behind those choices always is..Here's Miranda Whitcomb Pontes on The Days Between..

This week I am speaking with Zach Skow, founder of Marley's Mutts and The Positive Change program. I first became aware of Zach through the Pawsitive Change Instagram page, and admittedly, I had some preconceived notions about the incarcerated, but after watching their videos and stories, as well as having experienced the transformational healing nature of dogs in my own life, through my two rescues, I quickly found my perspective changing and really saw the power in the work they were doing not only to change the lives of those participating in the program, but also to shift societal perceptions as a whole.As you will hear in our conversation, Pawsitive Change is about much more than photo ops and Instagram posts, and regardless of where you land on the greater issue of incarceration and how we as a society view, as well as treat people who have served time in prison, it's impossible to deny that they are making a very positive impact on a very under served segment of society. And that's not even taking into account the residual affect the program has had on the participants families, as well as race relations within the prison walls. And all of this work is made possible through private donations as incredibly they get no federal or state funding.Zach's personal journey is equally as powerful as the work he is doing with Positive Change, but I'll let you hear it in his own words. So with that, here's Zach Skow on The Days Between..
