Hello everyone! I'm so happy to have my roommate Lara with me this episode to discuss the two shows we recently binged upon our return from Zambia. It was one of those situations where the show would end, we'd look at each other, and both agreed, without using words, that we were invested enough to move along to the next episode, even though it was way past our bedtime. Let me tell you: The Crown and The Lost Kitchen are worth your time.  We are committed individuals, dear listeners, and it is our job to trudge through hours of content so you don't have to. I've built my podcast on this fact alone. And I will continue to devote my time to watching way more TV than normal people because I am a professional, and I love you dearly.  You, my friend, are worth it!

For chef Erin French, a meal is about a lot more than the food on the table. Her new cookbook, Big Heart Little Stove, provides not only recipes from her family and famed Maine restaurant The Lost Kitchen, but also her philosophy for sprucing up a table setting or presenting a particular dish in a way that elevates the meaning of the entire experience. In today's episode, French speaks with Here & Now's Robin Young about the rocky road that led her to open her hit dining destination, and how the pandemic's reduced hours changed the way she runs her business.

With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast/   Show Notes:  Q4 proves time and again that it is the most stressful quarter of the year for retail shop owners - but it doesn't have to be! Inside this episode of the podcast, I'm encouraging you to CHOOSE JOY: to change your mindset around how you are “supposed” to feel this time of year while running your retail business. Instead of finishing this year strong (as we so often hear), I'm encouraging you to end the year HAPPY.   Topics We'll Cover in This Episode: How your vibe and energy affect how others are feeling in your shop Why you need to reframe your “yeah, but” responses The best way to respond to compliments Reframing your “have to's” and “should's” into “get to's” The power of simply making a decision and moving on Reframing our expectations of our customers and our staff Flipping the script and detaching yourself from bad outcomes Sleeping in and baking cookies… unconventional advice this time of year perhaps? Oh well, I said what I said! Reflecting on what went right   If you are feeling stressed during this time of year in your retail shop, I hope this episode gives you a glimpse into what it might look like if you flipped the script this holiday season and chose joy and happiness over stress and hustle. I promise this mindset will bring you more joy as we finish out 2023.   Related podcasts we think you'll like:  Episode 178: 3 Top Mindset Musts for Retailer Owners Episode 172: Retailers: Solve Any Problem & Get Better Results By Doing This Episode 153: Recipe for Success: 4 Leadership Lessons We Can Learn from Erin French of The Lost Kitchen Episode 130: The Karate Kid Stages Will Help Your Retail Business   About your host, Wendy Batten In case we haven't met yet, I'm Wendy, a small business coach and founder of the Retailer's Inner Circle, where I help other independent shop owners learn how to gain the right business skillsets to see more profits, paychecks, and joy as they navigate running their retail business.  Through online classes, business coaching programs, speaking, and a top-ranked podcast, I've helped hundreds of retailers around the globe reclaim their dream and see the success they want from their beautiful shops.

This week, it's nothing but naked capitalism, as Sam and Hannah challenge each other to suggest the ideal book-gifts for all your potential giftees. Of course, Hannah's in the mobbed bookstore, so a little stressed and nervous for this challenge. The mail is even being delivered as we record. Crazy stuff. Seriously, though, we've got great ideas for: Your teenaged niece or nephew (Sam really did tear up during this read; but he misremembered and someone does, in fact, die). Your voraciously reading mom/teacher/hostess (Clarie Keegan!). The sports-loving dude in your life. The chef in your life who's already got all the basics (get loose in the kitchen with Erin French!). Your music-loving uncle (Sam does, in fact, know that Neil Peart was the drummer for Rush). Anyone who has a coffee table (Dolly! Willie!). Anyone looking for something trashy (who isn't?). Someone how loves Christmas mysteries (who doesn't?), or mysteries of any kind. Someone who already has "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" (or anyone going off to college or otherwise needing life advice).   Your grumpy grandfather, who still cares deeply about WW2. Your aging parents. No, really.  The children in your life (very young, young, and middle readers — lots of ideas!). Really, we've got ideas for everyone on your list this giving season. Listen up!

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

His first novel, “Church of Golf,” tells the story of a washed-up college football hero who reaches middle age and finds himself broke, drunk, lumpy and sucking for air. For him, the way back involves religious devotion to the study of golf. His second novel, “Blood Lily,” was released in July 2021. It tells the story of a Saudi woman - a member of the royal family - whose father coerces her into going to America to run a terrorist cell. She's desperate to escape the network of violent authoritarians who control her life and she yearns for peace and contentment. Naturally, she dreams of life in Maine. Spencer was a Navy brat, born at a U.S. Navy hospital and raised mostly in Annapolis in the shadow of the U.S. Naval Academy. Growing up, he worked at Annapolis' waterfront restaurants as a dishwasher and cook. His father, an academy graduate and nuclear submariner, was lost at sea when Spencer was a boy. A turbulent 10 years followed while Spencer sank into drug use and petty crime. He turned things around when, as a college kid, he discovered a love for reading and books. After college, he enjoyed a career in journalism, writing for daily newspapers and becoming a polished feature and news writer. While in law school, he and his wife founded a small publishing company. He practiced law for 25 years, handling civil lawsuits all over Maryland and in Washington, D.C. He established his own law firm in 2000 and remained head  of the firm for nearly 20 years. When Spencer's not writing, he's enjoying time with his wife or zipping along Maine's country roads on an Italian racing bicycle.   Looking to connect:           Email: spencer@stephensassociates.net Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/churchofgolf Website: spencerstephens.net

Every year, thousands of people clamor to eat at The Lost Kitchen, Erin French's restaurant in Freedom, Maine, population 722. Don't visit your favorite reservations app. The only way to snag a seat is by mailing in a postcard, and needless to say, a lot of folks come up empty-handed. Fortunately, the disappointed now have a way to console themselves, as Erin and her crew are the subjects of a new show on the Magnolia Network. Erin also penned a bestselling memoir, "Finding Freedom," that came out earlier this spring and detailed the adversity and addiction she struggled with over the years on the road to opening her restaurant. Erin took a break from her kitchen duties to talk with host Kerry Diamond about freedom, Freedom, and the resilience that fuels everything she does.

Erin French is the owner and chef of The Lost Kitchen, a 40-seat restaurant in Freedom, Maine, that was recently named one TIME Magazine's World's Greatest Places and one of "12 Restaurants Worth Traveling Across the World to Experience" by Bloomberg. Her love of Maine and her palpable pleasure in sharing its delicious heritage with curious dinner guests and new friends alike, has garnered attention in outlets such as The New York Times (her piece was one of the ten most read articles in the food section the year it was published), Martha Stewart Living, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, and Food & Wine. In addition to too many wows to list, Erin has just published her memoir, Finding Freedom. I interviewed her at a webinar sponsored by Women Who Empower, a network of strong, creative, and innovative women and men launched by Northeastern University a decade ago. The aim of Women Who Empower is to bring together and inspire future generations through events, scholarships, learning, and entrepreneurship opportunities, to overcome disparities and biases, connect, and lead change in their communities and beyond.Let's have a listen.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Episode 30!  Can't believe we are already here.  Inspiration abounds!  Amy does a deep dive on Chef Erin French, who despite some pretty major setbacks, she fought to get her son and her restaurant back only to become a world-renowned dinner destination that gets so many reservation requests, she has to hold a lottery.  Then there is Tiquette Bramlett and Vidon Vineyards.  Tiquette is the first black vineyard president in a major U.S. vineyard region.  Tiquette is planning on bringing more diversity to the wine industry and education about winemaking for everyone.  Teresa finishes up with a little bit about the history of AA and the twelve-step programs that have helped thousands of people escape addiction.  #30 is a great episode and you don't want to miss out.We would love to hear from you.  Send us your comments or even your own inspirational stories at tangentialinspiration@gmail.com or give us your comments on our website, TangentialInspiration.com.Follow us on our social media:Website: https://tangentialinspiration.com/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/tangentialinspiration/Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Podcast/Tangential-Inspiration-110449931124565/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TangentialInsp1

Feedback Stoner by John Williams, Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones and Sing Unburied Sing, Montana 1948 by Larry Watson, and My Antonia by Willa Cather (rec’d by Elizabeth) Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, White Palace by Glenn Savan (rec’d by Wynnde) Virgin Suicides, Middlesex, and The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides (rec’d by Cate) Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton (rec’d by Kelly) Questions 1. *TIME SENSITIVE*   I am going through a very difficult time personally and have a big period of down time coming up very soon.  I need something to read that will not make me feel worse than I already do.  I would love an uplifting/hopeful book that features a woman (preferably single!) who achieves her lifelong dreams of becoming a writer/painter/musician etc.  Basically, a book about a single woman who is kicking some major life butt and doing it on her own.  Bonus points if the thing she does is related to writing (for example a novel or becoming a poet) and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for the love of my sanity, do not recommend a romance.  I love romance with all of my heart but emotionally cannot handle one at this moment.  I also do not read horror, crime, or mysteries.    Thanks for the recs in advance, I appreciate it! -Marelis 2. Hi from the UK! I’ve been listening to your podcast for years – I love it. You’re both awesome! I’ve been playing a lot of the video game Ghosts of Tsushima recently and I’d love some recommendations for books set in Japan to complement it! I like historical fiction, literary fiction, fantasy, sci-fi (I’ll pretty much try anything). I have Pachinko on my list. Bonus points for Samurai.  -Charlotte 3. My wife and I just had a baby on Valentine’s Day. We are white, Christian, and a LGBT family. We want our daughter to have as much diversity as possible. We have the little leaders and dream big series along with plenty of feminist books. We need some picture books about transgender kids, Muslim (or other religions) children, and children of different races/cultures. What are your favorite picture books for us to add to her library? Thank you! -Jessica 4. Could you recommend a fantasy or sci-fi read-alike for The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison? The things I like most about it are the fantasy elements, the fact that the main character is a person in power who leads responsibly because he’s genuinely a good, empathetic person, and the way that the protagonist learns to assert and value himself slowly throughout the book. Either way, thanks for your time! I appreciate you and your work! -Laura 5. I have been enjoying getting into some more door-stopper sized books this year and was hoping you could help me find some more. Specifically, I’d love an adult fantasy novel with a female lead (preferably written by a woman) maybe with a little steaminess. I generally really enjoy fantasy which doesn’t operate within the standard Tolkein-esque genre, but has its own twist and interesting world building. I read Kushiel’s Dart and that’s almost what I was looking for but I just couldn’t get past all the questionable consent stuff…. I don’t think I’ll be reading the rest of the series. Some fantasy books I have loved (not all door-stoppers) include the Broken Earth trilogy, the Abhorsen trilogy, Gideon the Ninth, Lies of Locke Lamora, and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. A friend recently got me into the Wheel of Time series as well, which is fun but with a much more male-centric, standard fantasy feel. I do like when sci-fi elements are thrown into a fantasy world (such as with Gideon), but would prefer it to lean more into the fantasy side of things (already have some good sci-fi ones on my shelf). Generally not a huge fan of time travel or robots (excepting Murderbot). Please no sexual violence. I look forward to your recommendations. Thanks! -April 6. Hi! About a year ago, I finally told my husband (and admitted to myself) that I’m bisexual. I hadn’t told anyone else because, well, I’m happily married and it’s not like I’m looking to date. And then, just a couple weeks ago I found out that my best friend of over 30 years is also bisexual! I would love a rec for a book she and I could read about bi women, preferably not a coming of age kind of book, but about grown women who are who they are but also bi. Any genre is good – we are both voracious readers. Thanks! -Jaimie 7. I want to find a fantasy book with the main characters as not human. Like wings of fire. I would love adventure and stuff -Samantha Books Discussed Spinster by Kate Bolick Finding Freedom by Erin French (cw: addiction, domestic abuse, harm to animals) Shinju by Laura Joh Rowland Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba, Vol. 1 by Koyoharu Gotouge with John Werry (Translator), Stan!, Adam Grano, Mike Montesa, John Hunt (cw: harm to children, mostly off-screen) Julian is a Mermaid by Jessica Love When Aidan Became A Brother by Kyle Lukoff, Kaylani Juanita The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner The Unspoken Name by AK Larkwood A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse (cw: harm to children, graphic violence) Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey (tw: rape, harm to children) The Last Place You Look by Kristen Lepionka (Roxane Weary #1) (cw: violence against women and minors including rape, kidnapping, imprisonment) The Deep by Rivers Solomon (tw: slavery) Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton (narrated by a crow and also a cow and a polar bear, dogs and cats and sparrows) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ellen and Heidi talk to Mary and Nina.  Mary has two established and successful businesses- one in the healing arts and the other teaching people to bake bread. She is grappling whether to just put her focus on the sourdough business, even though she feels the sadness of having to leave the medical practice behind. Nina is a dynamic 18-year-old with lots of ideas and dreams, specifically about teaching writing and/or music.  She also wonders about her tendency to start lots of projects and not finish them and asks if it is better to go with her natural multi-tasking tendencies or whether to train herself to do one task at a time to successful completion.  We also talk about the documentaries ‘Knock Down the House' and ‘Nothing Fancy' as well as Erin French's new book ‘Finding Freedom'

In her debut memoir, the restauranteur charts her unlikely path to freedom. At The Lost Kitchen, Erin French treats guests to a one-sitting, prix fixe dinner.
