This week, I'm thrilled to share a few of my reflections and takeaways after reviewing my top episodes of all time after 3 years of podcasting. This will be our 168th episode. The primary goal of this podcast episode is to connect with my audience. What have you liked over the past 3 years? What haven't you liked? And indeed what would you like to see more of? The primary categories we've covered in this time are: Social ImpactSustainability, Regeneration and CircularityHealth & WellnessGenerally, there have been 2 formats to the show. The first is the primary format -- interviews. The second is solocasts -- which are journalistic deep dives in to a particular topic, book or issue. The third is a screen shared commentary with a few different guests in a panel format (though these are rare). And we've also shared bonus episodes, where I have guested on other shows, primarily in the health & wellness space that I call my professional home. Our top podcast after 3 years of podcasting are: Tied for 1st: Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation with Paul Hawken https://caremorebebetter.com/regeneration-ending-the-climate-crisis-in-one-generation-with-paul-hawken-5-time-best-selling-author-and-environmentalistTied for 1st: Scary Smart: Scary Smart: How Artificial Intelligence Will Change Our World with Mo Gawdat, Bestselling Authorhttps://caremorebebetter.com/scary-smart-how-artificial-intelligence-will-change-our-world-with-mo-gawdat-bestselling-author 2nd: Indulge In A More Responsible Coffee with Mokhtar Alkhanshali, CEO of Port of Mokha, Producers of World-Renowned Coffee from Yemenhttps://caremorebebetter.com/indulge-in-a-more-responsible-coffee-with-mokhtar-alkhanshali-ceo-of-port-of-mokha-producers-of-world-renowned-coffee-from-yemen3rd: Eat To Beat Disease: Reimagining Our Healthcare Systems With William W. Li, MDhttps://caremorebebetter.com/eat-to-beat-disease-reimagining-our-healthcare-systems-with-william-w-li-mdSo where do we head from here? Questions: What do you want to see more of? Interviews? Solocasts and deep dives by yours truly? Both? Something else?Do you want to continue to hear about health and wellness topics? Other topics?Is there something you feel this podcast is lacking that would make it better? It could be news updates, or a second episode each week. While I'm not able to promise these things right now, if I hear from you that they're important enough, I may be able to move mountains and make it happen. Who do you want to hear from on this show? YOU CAN RECOMMEND GUESTS -- AND EVEN ASK TO COME ON YOURSELF! What's the worse that could happen? I could say no -- but we could also become friends IRL the way Beth Craig and I have.

Care More, Be Better is officially two years old!

Beth explains how to contribute to carbon neutrality and negativity in the cruising industry and beyond without coming across as overwhelming. She explains how a few dollars can go a long way in paying for your carbon footprint, saving the planet one small effort at a time. To mark the podcast's anniversary, Corinna shares a musical performance by Donna Grantis at the Canadian Climate Music Summit that features a soundbite from one of the show's episodes.About Guests:Beth Craig is a self-employed consultant, teacher, and writer who teaches students about supply chain issues, social justice, and environmental sustainability.

Throwback interview with Third Eye Girl's Donna Grantis. Previously unreleased with the 3EG guitarist extraordinaire sharing her memories of her time with Prince, being discovered, and her amazing album Diamonds and Dynamite.

Today we meet two musicians at different stages of their careers but bound by the passion to create new music. First we meet Donna Grantis. Calling her a guitarist sells what she does a little bit short. Call her a rock goddess. Guitar Player Now wrote: “Trading blazing solos with the late Purple One on a nightly basis, she proved her mettle, and earned a place in guitar history.” Best known for performing and recording with Prince & 3rdeyegirl, we talk about her first guitar, working with a musical genius and her new album “Diamonds & Dynamite.” Then, rock superstar Sting stops by to talk about his musical “The Last Ship.” It’s the story of a young man who returns home after seventeen years at sea to find his town, a shipbuilding town like the one Sting grew up in, is about to lose its jobs and sense of identity. We talk about writing the show and the importance of remembering the community he came from.

Donna Grantis, Canadian guitarist extraordinaire and former member of Prince's band, joins us on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss her first solo record, Diamonds & Dynamite, it's various styles and how it was influenced by her experiences working with Prince. We also talk about worldly instruments, calling sets and solos on the fly, writing songs with Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, and playing at the White House for the Obamas.

Hoy abrimos con el espíritu revitalizado de Django Reinhardt a través de los excepcionales modos del guitarrista galo Stephane Wrembel, Mr. Bistro Fada. Ahora regresa con la cuarta parte de su Django Experiment y nos volvemos a rendir al sonido Gipsy. Nuestros ladillos dedicados al blues se abren con dos promesas, la primera es la virtuosa guitarrista Ally Venable que anda estrenando su segundo trabajo, y su réplica la encontramos, más sedosa en Seth Rosembloom, a quien volvemos a invitar con su disco debut. Seguimos con The Symbols y Gwyn Ashton, presentando respectivamente sus nuevos trabajos. También aparece en esta selección la 'obra maestra' de Albert Castiglia, su nuevo trabajo junto a Mike Zito en la producción. Y en las despedidas estrenamos el nuevo sencillo de Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real, nos reafirmamos, estamos ante un artista que va a marcar época. Y en el cierre, locura extrema con Donna Grantis y Mike McCready, jazz y rock fusión de la guitarrista que marcó época junto a Prince.
