Replaying our special episode featuring Denise Scott Brown. Denise Scott Brown is an architect; planner & urban designer; and a theorist, writer and educator whose projects, research, and writing have influenced designers and architects since the 1960s. Her writings have changed the practice of architecture as we know it and her built work spans several continents. Some of her notable writings include Learning from Las Vegas, Having Words, and Architecture as Signs and Systems. She was a long-standing principal of the firm Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates. Many of the topics we cover are influenced from the recently published book, ⁠Denise Scott Brown in Other Eyes: Portraits of an Architect⁠ edited by Frida Grahn.   I had the pleasure of chatting with Denise for two and a half hours (please remember, Denise is in her 90s!) - so this conversation will be divided into two episodes. In part 1 we talk about:  - We start with the iconic theory: Duck vs Decorated Shed. How did Denise come up with the idea? Why a duck? And did she anticipate her theories' on academia?  - We next explore Denise's early teaching days. She shares stories from Penn, UCLA, and Berkeley and we walk about late-night crits and ‘Functions of a Table'.  - We dive into the origin story of Learning from Las Vegas and then hear some stories you might not read in your history books: how Denise met Robert Venturi and started working with him and I also ask where she got her bold, graphic wedding dress (see an image in Grahn's book!) - Next, we cover the political and social complexities of growing up as a Jewish immigrant in Africa and draw parallels to her teaching during the free speech movement and more recent eras of social reform. - Denise expresses the importance of creativity in childhood and she shares her earliest memory- from age two! - If you're listening closely, you'll also hear a few shoutouts to the Drexel Community- Paul Hirshorn and John Fry and more unexpectedly, Denise draws a few parallels to Trevor Noah.

Her writings have changed the practice of architecture as we know it and her built work spans several continents.

We won't be able to give Esther Price justice in these show notes, but if you have ever been in the room with her then you know just how ExtraOrdinary she is. The influence she has on people around her is incredible, particularly when she is on stage, she really is absolutely captivating. Esther calls Western Australia (WA) home and always has. She is about to become a Grandmother and is more physically fit than ever.  "I've had the privilege of work and a love for adventure taking me all over the place, but always return home to WA."Esther started her career in livestock journalism before she was even 18 years old, at a time well before social media where people really wanted to have a journalist in their life, because it was their only way of getting their voice heard if they needed to. "I would take down my P Plates down as I drove into work because I didn't want people to know how young I was."The connections Esther made in this role that gave her the kick-start into soon managing National agricultural conferences and starting her own business. She had the tenacity, people skills, foresight and brains to know there was as a huge gap in the industry at the time for events, marketing and PR, and so she capitalised on it. Fast forward to now, and Esther is still a powerhouse in the industry, but she has also developed a love for hiking, adventuring and mountaineering. She has tackled some of the greatest climbs in the world and there's not much that deters her - not even a crash in a 12-seater plane the day before embarking up a mountain in Uganda.

He tells us about receiving his first guitar, and how, despite a rough start, it led to bigger and better things. “I wasn't any good,” he recalls, “I was terrible.

What's the first thing you remember doing? It could be playing with your friends at school, or going to a birthday party and eating amazing cake. Most of us have a treasured early memory of our childhood, but can we really believe those vivid memories? Did those special moments really happen – or did we make them up?你记得做的第一件事是什么?可能是在学校和你的朋友一起玩,或者去参加生日聚会吃美味的蛋糕。我们大多数人都对童年有着珍贵的早期记忆,但我们真的可以相信那些生动的记忆吗?那些特殊的时刻真的发生了吗——还是我们编造的?It's a strange concept to grasp, but according to research, about four out of 10 of us invent our first childhood memory. Rather than having experienced something, we could have fabricated a fake memory from videos or photos we've seen. We could have been influenced by a story recounted to us that spurs our minds on to adopt someone else's memory as our own. What it means is that memories of our younger years, especially before the age of two, may be inaccurate, or entirely false.这是一个奇怪的概念,但根据研究,大约十分之四的人发明了我们的第一个童年记忆。我们可以根据看过的视频或照片编造虚假记忆,而不是经历过某些事情。我们可能会受到向我们讲述的一个故事的影响,这个故事会刺激我们的思想将别人的记忆当作我们自己的记忆。这意味着我们年轻时的记忆,尤其是两岁之前的记忆,可能是不准确的,或者完全是错误的。But why don't we have clear memories from that age? Well, our ability to retain memories from before the age of two isn't great. While at that age we do have short-term memories, according to Catherine Loveday, an expert in autobiographical memory at the University of Westminster, the memories that infants make are not long-lasting. This is possibly due to the rapid creation of brain cells in our early years. Some scientists also believe that as we get older, our childhood memories fade and after the age of seven, we get some kind of ‘childhood amnesia'.但为什么我们对那个时代没有清晰的记忆呢?好吧,我们保留两岁之前记忆的能力并不好。根据威斯敏斯特大学自传体记忆专家凯瑟琳·洛夫戴 (Catherine Loveday) 的说法,虽然在那个年龄我们确实有短期记忆,但婴儿的记忆并不持久。这可能是由于我们早年脑细胞的快速产生。一些科学家还认为,随着年龄的增长,我们的童年记忆会逐渐消失,七岁以后,我们会患上某种“童年失忆症”。So why do we create fake memories? Some experts believe that there is a clear desire for a sense of self and having a cohesive story of our existence. Creating memories can fill in the gaps – giving us a more complete structure for our early lives. As we get older, we want to have a complete picture of our entire lives.↳那么我们为什么要制造虚假记忆呢?一些专家认为,人们对自我意识和对我们的存在有一个连贯的故事有着明确的渴望。创造记忆可以填补空白——为我们的早年生活提供更完整的结构。随着年龄的增长,我们希望对自己的整个生活有一个完整的了解。So, the next time someone says they have a clear memory from when they were one – or even before - just remember that while it could be true, there's a chance they just invented it at some point in their lives.↳因此,下一次有人说他们对自己的童年或什至以前记忆犹新时,请记住,虽然这可能是真的,但也有可能是他们在生活中的某个时刻发明的。↳词汇表treasured 珍视的,珍重的vivid 鲜明的,生动的concept 概念grasp 理解,领会fabricate 编造recount 叙述spur on 促使,激励adopt 采纳,采用inaccurate 不准确的clear 清晰的retain 记住short-term memory 短期记忆autobiographical 自传体的,与个人生活事件紧密相关的long-lasting 持久的brain cell 脑细胞fade 逐渐被遗忘amnesia 失忆cohesive 完整连贯的

We recommend Phil Scraton's 'The Truth' and Kevin Sampson's 'Hillsborough Voices' as a way to learn more - see links at at the bottom of this. We also talked about Richie and Damian's early memories of watching the Reds - check out David Fairclough's goal against Everton in 1976.

Our guest today has perhaps one of the smartest solutions to a specific problem that's plagued beekeepers for centuries. Her and the Beecorp team are taking on some of the key issues around a dying community of animals that we actually really need. Ellie Symes shares her story, how BeeCorp is solving key issues for beekeepers, and what she's learned from being a CEO. We're glad you joined us.   Early Memories of Entrepreneurship While Ellie never really saw herself as growing up to be an entrepreneur, she did start a couple of businesses as a kid.  Her favorite was a dog walking  business when she was just six years old.  Not very many people wanted to let a six year old take their dogs but it was Ellie’s solution to not being allowed to have a dog herself. What is BeeCorp? BeeCorp builds analytic software for beekeepers.  Their first product can tell when a queen bee dies.  The queen is the most important member of a hive because she has all of the babies and builds the community.  When the queen dies the other bees go into major housekeeping mode instead of creating honey.  Eventually the bees will just leave.  BeeCorp helps beekeepers realize this sooner and solve the issue before the hive dies. How have beekeepers responded? They love the technology piece, the alerts are super helpful and the beekeeper are actually providing BeeCorp a ton of information so they know what new products to build. How did Ellie come up with the idea? Ellie has been a beekeeper for 6 years and she’s always loved it.  She even started a Beekeeping club in college.  Colony collapse was just starting to get What is the current state of the honey bee world? The world has one-third of the population of bees we had in the 1960s.  Climate change, pesticides, globalization, and beekeepers themselves are all continbuting to the problem.  Ellie knows that she can’t necessarily solve the problem but her goal is to help beekeepers catch some of the results on their hives so they can diagnose the problem and fix it. What about hive theft and vandalism? Both are actually a major problem in the beekeeping world. Beekeepers actually steal hive from each other a lot. Beecorp clients have GPS senbsors in the hive so it can be found and the theaf could be prosecuted. As for vandalism, the Beecorp sensors can tell the beekeeper quickly so that they can go out, fix the hive and save it for total demise.­­­ What was a major gut check in the evolution of BeeCorp? They were raising money and they’d received a fair amount but they weren’t quite there yet.  Ultimately one of the founders asked their landlord who pulled through along with another few final investors. How does the feeling of business ownership change once you get funded? The pressure of having other peoples money is a huge difference.  Ellie An important moment of business ownership? What do you love about owning a business? Having control over what you do and how you do it and create the culture of a community What’s one thing you can’t stand? Ellie can’t stand receiving all of the sales calls.  Her number is on the website Where will BeeCorp be 5 years down the road? Ellie and the BeeCorp team They want to be an employer that employees love to be at, keep hive and do research in an innovative way.  Have more technical solutions for the problems beekeepers face.  Build a database of information   Special thanks to Ellie Symes for taking the time to share the BeeCorp story with us.

Have you ever dreamed of going viral, schmoozing with the stars, swimming in piles of virtual likes and shares, retweets and smiley faces? I mean who doesn’t want fan mail, right?  Our guest today is fortunate enough to have experienced all of that but here’s the thing, he wasn’t really dreaming of it.  In fact, as it turns out, most people who go viral weren’t.  Generally they are living life like the rest of us, chasing passions, making ends meet, and then one day this one part of their world blows up.  Today Mike Bridavsky, owner of Russian Recording studio and dad to world famous cat Lil Bub shares his story.   We’re glad you joined us!    Here's an overview:   Early Memories of Entrepreneurship Mike always attracted to creating businesses.  Even as a young kid in his parents’ community of Russian immigrants he would sell berries to his neighbors.  By the time he became a teenager he fell in love with recording music.  Immediately he started recording bands.   The Two Sides of Owning a Business For Mike there are two sides.  The thing your business is about and then the process of owning the business itself.  Mike loved both.   A business is the ultimate customization of something.  You get to pick the brand and the marketing and the place.  The other side is the passion, the thing you love so much that you want to help others with it.  What can be hard when you really love what you do is the monetization.  The “does my business work on paper?” part.  It’s something   Why Recording Studios Are The Worst Business Model Ever The overhead with a recording studio is insane.  All of the equipment is super expensive.  It takes about $300,00 to really get it put together.  But the recording industry has completely changed since the 1990’s.  Rates for a day of record have dropped from $5000 a day to $500.  So the amount you can make on your best day is pretty much break even.   Yet Mike still continues.  In 2007, he decided to go all in.  He got a large loan, quit his day job, and built his dream studio.  Mike and I walked through before the interview.  He showed me a 50’s era Russian ribbon microphone that could have amplified the voices of Russia’s biggest political leaders.  I walked singing from the band room to the dead room and listened to the change in my voice.  Every detail of the space was beautiful… and expensive.  It’s clear that Mike built his dream and his passion for the perfect audio space drove everything, maybe even just a little too far   It All Goes Bad, Then Good After he built the studio, it all went bad.  Bands weren’t showing, he wasn’t able to pay rent, the whole thing was bombing.  And just at that moment, Mike’s cat got famous. Mike had a blog for his Cat Lil Bub.  It was kind of a fun thing.  Him and a friend were kind of pretending like their cats were famous.  Then suddenly one of the blog posts went viral and tons of people wanted to buy t-shirts.  Mike’s entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and his love for Bub became a vehicle for everyone else to love her too.  Lil Bub is in charge, Mike is the facilitator.   The Story of Lil Bub As the person who’s been there from the beginning, Mike truly believes Bub is in charge.  His job is to control the train He employs strict rules about how things work if someone wants to do an event, show, book, or whatever with Bub.  He’s seen that saying “No” to people is actually a great way to get exactly what you want.  They really don’t need to do any of the things their asked so they only do it if it fits perfectly.  Mike just lives life with Bub (and photographs it of course).  He tries to follow Bub’s lead and see where they go.   Lessons Mike has learned: Passion and will power are great but you’ve got to understand the numbers too Various sources of income is important You can’t give all your money away Be Authentic! Going viral never happens on purpose    Special thanks to Mike Bridavsky for taking the time to share the Russian Recording & Lil Bub story with us.   Mentioned in the episode: Russian Recording Lil Bub’s Big Show Lil Bub Animal Planet Show Lil Bub Book Lil Bub on The View YouTube Big Live Comedy Show with Jack McBrayer & Workaholics   Sponsored by Shine Insurance - https://www.shineinsurance.com/ Music by Mark Vinten   Learn more about us at: Our Site -  www.shineinsurance.com Our Blog - www.shineinsure.com/blog Our Podcast - www.scratchentrepreneur.com Our Course - www.newhomebuyersguide.net
