I mer än hundra år har tvåtaktssnurrans smattrande hört till sommarens soundtrack. Men nu håller den blåa röken på att skingras från skärgården. Midsommarens Kvanthopp är tillägnat aktersnurran, och Ole Evinrude, mannen som startade en motorrevolution när han blev trött på att ro efter glass åt sin flickvän. Redaktör: Marcus Rosenlund. E-post: kvanthopp@yle.fi

From starting out by turning wrenches on Evinrude outboard motors to the #1 Chris-Craft dealer in the world - meet one of our favorite people - Dave Bofill.

Paul Harvey - Ole Evinrude

Jose "Pepe" Lopez is a legendary big bonefish catching giant. He learned his craft from many of the old school, iconic guides such as Harry Snow Jr., Billy Knowles and Timmy Carlile. His family, like many other well know angling families (such as Chico Fernandez's,) left Cuba in 1959 when Castro became the infamous nightmare he evolved to. Pepe was one year old at the time and ten years later his Dad built a house on stilts near mile maker 17. Sugarloaf and its surrounding water would become his playground. With a 15 foot Mitchel boat he named "REEL THING" and a 40 Evinrude, this young man was destined to become the man to beat in the All Tackle Bonefish Tournaments many years later, which he won five times with the late Capt. Billy Knowles. He also won the IGFA (International Game Fish Association) World Championships and The Redbone Series. No one cares how many times you get second, but there were plenty of those for this driving force of an angler. All Tackle tournaments are just that. You can use bait, jigs, flies, spinning reels, bait casters and fly rods. To win these things you need to have a vast spectrum of skills as an angler and as a guide. The points per each division vary with the difficulty of options. The biggest bonefish in the world lived in the Florida Keys at one point, and the All Tackle Tournaments caught the largest ones because of the option of bait; crabs and shrimp were the food of choice for these dinosaurs. Yes, they caught large fish on fly and jigs too, but believe me, those monster fourteen and fifteen pound bonefish loved meat! On today's podcast, we hang with one of the most driven people I know. His business acumen is international, expanding on what his father did for a living which was electrical distribution. It's hard to believe he's an introvert when you're around him but he is, and his time whacking trees and pulling weeds in his yard is what he cherishes most. His privacy is his home water now, a self proclaimed loner. The drive down from his main home in Miami is daunting with terrible traffic but his heart is in the Keys, always will be. Unfortunately, his fishing days are all but over. It's sad, here's a man who's caught over 200 thirteen pound bonefish, won all the great bait tournaments, was raised during the prime decades of the Florida Keys fishery and now at 64, Pepe lives a fishing life through his vivid memory bank filled with stories mostly dreamers see. He said “When the big bonefish left with the freeze in 2010 my heart went with them!” Here is Pepe Lopez everybody, one of the greats!

Episode 12:  In this episode, Molley and Chad are joined again by their friends Nancy and Steve Bailey.  They are going to talk about getting your boat ready for the winter.  It's depressing, but extremely important. Each brand and type of boat is different, so this episode may not cover everything for your particular craft, but there are some common steps to be considered as you get ready for winter.  Today, well discuss inboard/outboard motors, v-hulls, inboard v-drives and pontoons. Molley recommends power washing the carpet/floor and putting a really good coat of vinyl conditioner on all of the seats.  The conditioner will add a good layer of protection during the cold months.  You should also wash and wax the outside of the boat to get rid of any stains or water lines.  Again, waxing it is just another way of protecting your investment until the Spring. DIY or Pay a Guy There are some things you may be able to handle on your own.  But if you're new to boating, don't be afraid to pay a mechanic to properly winterize your boat.  Chad comments that his old Evinrude 150, 2-stroke motor was pretty simple to handle.  The lower unit didn't really need maintenance until you hit roughly 300 hours.  The dealer generally handles the lower unit maintenance. Molley discusses how the risk to an outboard motor is not running the motor for long periods of time.  It's not the cold temperature that's dangerous to it.  Periodic running, even during the winter, can help to maintain the motor and prolong its life.  Steve mentions how his son uses his bass boat all year long, so the only thing he does to winterize the boat is to lower the engine all the way down to let the water drain out.  Chad mentions it's the same for his Mercury. Chad's 6.2 wake boat is big enough that they take it to a marine mechanic in Jamestown and they service the boat for him.  Steve handle the winterization on their current boat.  The newer motor is a closed cooling system which doesn't use water to inside the engine block itself.  This style has several, drain plugs that can be easily removed.  For the most part, you're good to go.  Older motors have a different system and may require a mechanic. The spark plugs should be removed and the cylinders should be spray fogged to avoid rusting.  Pro-Tip:  If you have ballast tanks, those also need to be drained.  This is especially important with wake boats.  Steve recommends using a shop-vac to remove the water via the drain holes. Pro-Tip:  Many boater change the oil each season.  If you change it at the beginning of the season, you'll be able to pull out the fogging oil from the winterization process.  Changing the oil during winterization really just contaminates the new oil. A previous podcast episode dealt with personalizing your boat.  When you are getting ready to put away the boat, there may be some other maintenance to address.  Chad recommends checking the lights on your boat and trailer.  This is also a good time to check the tires, wheels and hubs.  Pro-Tip:  Steve recommends keeping a laser thermometer in the glove box, so you can check to see if one of your trailer hubs is getting hotter than the others.  This could be a sign of a pending failure.  If you can deal with it before it happens, you're in much better shape. Bearings tend to blow up in the Spring because the water may stay inside the hubs and expand during the cold winter months, or early in the season.  Failing to Properly Winterize Your Boat Molley asks what could happen if you don't take the time to prepare your boat for winter storage?  It's a roll of the dice.  You might be okay if we have a mild winter, but if it snows and gets really code, you're probably going to have problems with your engine block, the lower unit or some component or piece of equipment.  Chad recommends putting the battery on a trickle charge to extend the life of the battery.  It may take a charge, but it won't last nearly as long. What about the Fuel? Steve always makes sure he fills the tank completely to avoid condensation.  Then he adds a little fuel-stabilizer.  Be sure to remember to run the engine so the stabilizer can disperse throughout the engine. Chad advises that if you're using Muffs to service your boat, the hose doesn't have enough PSI to protect you motor.  You'll probably burn it up at higher RPMs.  You should let it idle for a while. End of the Season Well, as the boating season comes to a close, so does Season 1 of our podcast.  However, this doesn't mean we're done for the winter.  We've already planned some trips to warmer climates and even the Miami boat show for a little podcast material research! One Final Question Before We Go What's first thing you start to miss once you've put the boat away for the season?  Chad says it's watching the sunset over the dam.  Nancy misses the sun and all the fun summer brings.  Steve misses getting away from normal life or that early morning wake boat run on glass water.  For Molley, it's getting away and letting the decompression start for the weekend or the time they're going to spend at the lake.  That's a wrap for this episode.  We hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.  Thanks for Listening! If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider sharing it with your friends.  We hope to see you out there soon.  Until next time, here's to warm weather and calm waters! Don't forget to subscribe!

On the nineteenth installment of the Pop Goes The Classics series looking at the Disney animated features, Steve Riddle, Mirandia Berthold & Andy Atherton look at 1977's The Rescuers. They discuss the many aspects of the film including: the dynamic between Bernard & Bianca; Orville's piloting skills; whether or not Madame Medusa is great value Cruella DeVil; the crocodilian henchmen Brutus & Nero; the bravery of Evinrude; the villains plot to recover The Devil's Eye & the differences in watching the movie as an adult.

Episode 1: We're excited to launch our podcast.  Our son, Tristin, joins us for this episode.  Today, we're going to focus on Overconfidence.  This is a common issue for new boaters.  We'll share some of stories from our experiences and mistakes.  Hopefully, this will help you to avoid some of them and enjoy your time on the water. We test drove our first boat during a December.  Molley grew up boating.  When it came time for us to buy our own, we discussed the various types of boats.  We spoke with other boat owners.  Generally, we did some solid research to prepare for this big purchase.  We decided to buy a pontoon.  It was a 24' Sweetwater Triple-Toon with an Evinrude 150 motor. We met the dealer for the test drive on the Ohio river.  The sales rep launched the boat and we took a ride.  The weather was freezing, but we were in love with the boat.  As we watched the rep and his helper struggle to get the pontoon back on the trailer, we should have seen the red flag.  But again, all we could think about were the fun adventures to come. We went back to the dealership, signed the papers and then waited for spring to arrive.  We purchased safety and protective equipment.  We even took a Coast Guard safety course.  Finally, in mid-March, the day came.  We loaded up a bunch of couples and headed out.  Unfortunately, we didn't know what we didn't know. During all of the excitement, we didn't think about the depth of the ramp, speeds, hand-signals are all of those things you need to think about – especially with a new boat.  It was a disaster. Getting a V-hull boat back on the trailer is a completely different experience compared to a pontoon.  The angle and depth of the ramp makes a huge difference.  The speed of your approach is important.  Blowing wind can make it much more difficult.  The number of people on the pontoon when you're trying to trailer it will change how high/low the boat is floating.  A Few Words of Wisdom for New Boaters  If you're new to this whole experience, you'll need to be prepared to leave your ego on the bank and focus on patience.  It's just going to take time and repetition.  You'll feel more comfortable with time, but you can't rush it. If you're a partner or spouse, it might be helpful if you each pick a specific job and learn everything you can.  For instance, one of you might be more inclined to drive the truck and trailer.  The other may be more skilled at getting the boat onto the trailer.  The key, as always, is good communication.  Give yourselves time to practice and to work out the kinks.  It's all about the practice.  Try to pick days, like Mondays, that might not be as crowded in and around the ramp. We love our boat, but overconfidence really caused us some problems.  The Coast Guard course provided us with a safety checklist, which we pretty much ignored.  The point of the course was to help us to be better boaters.  Make sure you have enough life jackets for each person on the boat.  Test your electronics and mechanics on the boat before you hit the water. Take time to learn a few things, including how to tie proper knots.  It'll make the experience much more smooth and enjoyable for you and your guests. Thanks for Listening!

On a hot, sunny day last week, Jim Montgomery pulled a 1958 Evinrude Lark outboard motor outside his repair shop for a tune-up. Montgomery pointed to the “fancy chrome on the hood,” a sign that, although the motor is now vintage, it was considered deluxe at the time. Montgomery owns Duke's Outboard Service just outside Rhinelander. Long ago, he lost count of the number of Evinrude motors he's fixed. “I have no idea. Just a lot. Thousands,” he said. But that stream of Evinrudes coming into his shop may start to gradually slow. Just over a month ago, the Wisconsin-based company caught boaters by surprise when it said it was stopping production of its outboard motors . Evinrude has been a national leader in manufacturing outboards for more than a century. But it blamed COVID-19, in part, for its decision. This 1958 Evinrude Lark outside Duke's Outboard happens to belong to Jim Montgomery himself. Inside the shop are relics of Evinrude motors, parts, and advertising over the decades. From

Today I'm speaking with Roy Notowitz, President of Noto Group Executive Search. Roy has spent nearly his entire career in the Pacific Northwest. His work includes founding the Generator Group, he spent time in recruiting at Nike, he's is a recipient of the SGB 40 Under 40 award and has his own podcast How I Hire.   Facebook Twitter Instagram   The Outdoor Biz Podcast   Show Notes How'd you get introduced to the outdoors? What was your first outdoor experience like? I feel really lucky. I grew up in upstate New York in a small town called Manlius, the Manilius Fayetteville area, which is just outside of Syracuse. And, you know, it was at a time when kids would roam free in the woods, and around the neighborhood. It was a pretty standard neighborhood, but we had woods nearby. We built sledding tracks and we played baseball in the street and in our backyards, we rode bikes. Basically it was a time when parents would just kick their kids out of the house all day and say come home at night for dinner. We were a big ski family, so my parents were, they weren't hippies, but they acted like it. We had a garden and they went jogging before everyone else was jogging. We had a very active and healthy family lifestyle, and we would ski every weekend. Sometimes twice on the weekends or sometimes once during a weeknight. In Syracuse, there are a few different mountains within 20, 30-minute drive. We went to this place called Labrador mountain, “Ski more at Labrador”, was their slogan. And it was like 800 vert, they had a T-bar and chairlift that was super slow. That was a big part of my early outdoor experience. And, and then in my teens, my parents had bought this little fishing cabin in the thousand islands, which is about two and a half hours north of Syracuse, just outside of Brockville, Ontario. We kept our boat on the US side and we'd cross the river and check-in at customs then go to this little Island. And there's a 30 mile stretch of the Saint Lawrence River that flows out of Lake Ontario, bordering New York and Ontario. And there are about 1800 small to medium-sized islands with little cabins and stuff on them. A lot of them aren't winterized, ours wasn't. I saved up all this lawn mowing money that I earned to buy a small aluminum fishing boat and with a 15 horse Evinrude motor. It was my obsession. I became obsessed with fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass and Northern pike. And there's a 10 mile stretch of that river that I know like the back of my hand to this day. I went back there a few summers ago and I still know where all the Shoals are and where all my fishing spots are. I have a nautical chart framed in my office. It's changed a lot because of the zebra mussels and the cormorants. The whole ecosystem in the Saint Lawrence River hs changed. It's sad in the last 15 years the river has really declined. But that's my happy place. I can still picture the early morning fog burning off the river and then loons and the carp jumping and casting and trolling along the weed beds. What was your first outdoor job? I went to Potsdam college, which is right on the edge of the Adirondack Park. There are 9,000 square miles of lakes, rivers, and mountains, and it's close to the Saint Lawrence River. So I was able to continue to go to the cabin in summers. Potsdam was part of the State University of New York, and they had a satellite outdoor recreation campus on a little Lake called Star Lake. It was about 35, 40-minute drive from campus. Students would go there on the weekends to take classes, physical education classes. So they had a tiny ski hill with the little J bar. And I never taught before. So I basically had to teach how to put your skis on how to fall, how to get up, how to stop and turn. Then in the warmer months, I stayed there in the summer and taught canoeing and sailing, mostly Sunfish and Snarks. I was always active in student activities. I was on the camp board, which is the student board for that outdoor recreation facility. I was a student orientation leader, I volunteered on the local rescue squad. So I had a lot of activities. I was more social than academic at that point. Figuring out a lot of things and whatever you could fit in around the fund. Tell our listeners how you became an outdoor industry recruiter. It's an interesting story and it's part luck, being in the right place at the right time. And it starts in grad school. After Potsdam, I went to Virginia Tech and earned a master's degree in education with a focus on education administration. During my graduate studies, I was really drawn to the career services center and found an interest in how students formed career aspirations and how people figured out what they wanted to do and making the connection between higher education and the business world, which I think to this day, there's still a bit of a disconnect. The challenge was I really didn't have a lot of business experience or career experience. So I don't know if my obsession was because I really didn't know what I was going to do with my career or if I really wanted to help people. Anyway, after grad school, I drove my pickup truck across the country with my dog to Portland, Oregon. It was kind of on a whim, I identified the Pacific Northwest as a place I wanted to be. I checked out Seattle and Portland and Portland just felt kind of right. When I got here, it was July 1995. My first job was pumping gas for five and a quarter an hour. And I also got a second job selling shoes. Hiking and walking shoes at the walking company. I sold the European comfort shoes, mostly like Echo's, Mephisto, and Clarks. They were really innovative and differentiated at the time, they used better materials and construction. I enjoyed the customer interaction and I was always selling in the top 10% nationwide because I'm competitive. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed that job. In fact, I got employee discounts from that manager for maybe 10 years after I worked there. But after about six months of working there, I landed a desk job as a recruiter in a staffing agency in downtown Portland. It was kind of an old school Jerry McGuire kind of staffing agency. On my desk, I had a phone, a shoebox of three by five cards that were blank, a phone book, and a phone. They had computers at the time, but not at that company. We faxed resumes to companies and we took out classified ads on the job. I was marketing candidates to companies. And at the time even candidates paid fees, part of the fees to companies. So very different, but, and it took me about a year to really figure out was I very commission focused. After a year, I got a call. I don't know if it's divine intervention or just luck, but a recruiter called asking if I would be interested in that position at Nike. And in my interview with the HR manager at Nike apparel, he asked, what do you know about apparel footwear? So I took the shoe off of my foot and I started taking him through all of the things I just talked about, the materials, the construction. And he could tell that I had a passion for the product. And he literally said his name's Adam Baker, and every day to this day, I still thank him for that opportunity. But he said, “Okay kid, I'll give you a shot”. So anyway, I landed in the apparel division, right when Nike was shifting from selling tee shirts and accessories with footwear to becoming a functional apparel brand. And that really enhanced the performance of athletes with the fit, the fabrication, and materials. Dry fit when had just come out. So the apparel team was really small in comparison to the recruiting team and the rest of the company. The apparel business grew from 400 million to 3 billion during the time I was there and we recruited about 1200 people in those three years. I learned a ton, it was a great experience. And of course, now it's one of the most successful apparel companies in the world. What inspired you to continue down that outdoor industry recruiter path? That's a great question. I saw a need, to be honest, in recruiting. It's very inconsistent, the results when we were partnering with external firms. You know, the way they represented the brand, Nike was very particular about that. The way that these candidates are screened, we like to use structured interviewing and competencies and, a lot of recruiters were kind of just pitching candidates. And I felt like if we could create a more consistent and more professional service model, sort of like there's no bar associated student association or MBA or any accreditation that's meaningful in recruiting. So I wanted to take it up a notch. And what I realized is there's an opportunity to act more like an in house recruiting team to bring these fortune 500 best practices, to bring more consistency, to have a service delivery model with the accountabilities and, and deliverables, and to really help companies figure out where they want to go and how they want to get there and bringing world-class recruiting resources to small and midsize growth-oriented companies. So that's kind of what my first vision was for The Generator Group and to a large degree that's the vision here as well. So I started The Generator Group and ran that for about nine years. I had two partners and then in 2009, I branched off and started The Noto Group, We're coming up on 11 years here.   What are a couple of the accomplishments you're most proud of? We passed our 10 year anniversary last year and I'm really proud of the team we've built. The team is really my biggest asset here. The level of experience that they bring is significant and clients really trust us. They turn to us when they need an experienced partner that they can trust. And when we do great work, we get more work. There are three things that kind of come to mind. One is being the first outdoor industry professional services firm to become a B Corp, or at least the first outdoor industry recruiting firm, for sure. We certified in 2013, and we've recertified three times and scored higher each time. They get harder every time. And we also, for the last six years in a row have earned B Corp's best for workers award. So this coupled with the opportunity to work with so many great clients has been huge in helping me attract top-level talent to the firm. And then the second accomplishment I think was, a decision I made shortly after I started this firm to really expand our client base beyond the athletic and outdoor industry. So we do work in parallel consumer sectors, such as food beverage, grocery, natural products, restaurant hospitality. And this really aligns us with the way PE firms operate and the way law firms operate with consumer practices and the way investment bankers work. So this strategy has really helped us create more stability for the firm, which then allows us to invest more in the team, the tools, and the causes we care about. And it also enables us to sort of cross-pollinating to generate a more diverse range of candidates for clients. And that's really smart too because it gives you a lot of opportunities to bring a broader resource, broader opportunities to both the client and the applicant, right? Yeah. You might see someone who comes in wanting to focus on outdoor and athletics, but you look at them and you talk to them and you realize, you know what, you're going to fit way better over here. Right? One of the differentiators is that we put a lot of energy and effort into cultivating and engaging this talent ecosystem. We have over 10,800 people following us on LinkedIn. We have a monthly newsletter that goes out to 8,000 people. We have web traffic, like 2,500 to 3000 people a month hitting our sites. So we have a really engaged talent network. And I think that's a huge differentiator for us. I think the third thing I'm most proud of is launching our leadership consulting practice. So last year and in the past 12 months, we've really been working on communicating and integrating our new capabilities and it's been really well received. It started with a colleague and actually a former client, Dr. Ted Freeman, who's based out in New York. He worked at Eileen Fisher, which is basically like the Patagonia of the fashion world. They're a highly sustainable women's fashion brand, and very mission and purpose-driven. We did some work there, some leadership, a CFO, and a board position, and Ted was our client and he branched off on his own. He has a background in leadership development, coaching, and assessment. And I started thinking about how we could wrap these services around our recruiting and our search work to create greater success for clients and to get people ramped up faster and to be more effective, faster. So he, and a bunch of his colleagues that he collaborates with have really helped us broaden and deepen our work around leadership assessment, onboarding, integration, leadership development, and coaching. Our clients are engaging him and his team of colleagues to help do really meaningful work. And so as the economy recovers, I'm confident that this will become even more central. Leadership is a word that's used very lightly. I've found over the years, the more energy effort and thought that you put into hiring and, and developing and, bringing the team along. The more results you get, it's just part of that. The better the team works together too. I think. There's a lot of things that can derail teams and a lot of issues around culture and communication and, people can be more effective. I think that's what companies are realizing now. They don't have a lot of resources to hire a lot of people, especially moving forward. So they have to make sure that they get it right, and that the team is as effective as it can be. You probably have a pretty good read on what's going on in the job market. What are you reading in the tea leaves right now? How's it looking? Um, it's a mixed bag. So there's obviously a significant amount of job loss. And to be honest, I don't think that everyone is going to get hired back. Companies are not going to be like, okay, well, let's get back to work and let's use the same strategy and the same people, it's going to be a complete reset. And there's been some acceleration points, obviously around digital and eCommerce. Some of our clients are really investing in that even while they're divesting other resources. Other companies are realizing, that there are weaknesses within their leadership team, or they have a key position that they still need to fill. So there are still, I would say it went from a flood of opportunities and people calling us every week to see if we could help them work on projects to a trickle. For candidates, I think that means you have to really know your strengths. You have to really know the job that you're best suited for, and you have to go beyond. You can't just look at postings and hope that you can apply and find a job. I think it's going to be really competitive. And I think you're really going to have to make sure that you're able to differentiate and communicate and realize that you're going to have to have a lot of activity to be in the right place at the right time because there's going to be such a competitive market. I feel really bad for a lot of the newly minted job seekers but at the same time. It's an opportunity for people to reinvent and rethink and maybe chart different directions. And I'm sure at the end of the day, even some of these companies that are failing right now, they might get recapitalized. I know there's a lot of private equity firms that might find these distress brands and bring them back to life. And so over time, I'm optimistic that everything will work out and that companies will actually be stronger as a result of this because retail, let's be honest, it was struggling already.vI'm trying to put a lot of resources on our website and blog and being as kind as I can, you know, and my team as well, to be responsive and supportive of job seekers. It's hard to keep up though, for sure. Who are some of the mentors that have helped you along the way, building this great team? I've had a lot, Adam Baker, I talked about who was the person who gave me my start. To this day when I call him, I thank him for giving me my start. But what I learned from him, he was a great manager and supervisor, and I haven't had a lot of managers and supervisors in my career. So I learned a lot from him, always supportive, kind of gave us a lot of freedom, even when we were very inexperienced, he trusted us and very metrics-driven, a lot of communication and follow-through, strategy and planning, follow-through, every month, every quarter, I learned that. Sue Schneider, who was his boss. She was also very involved in guiding the Nike apparel recruiting team and a super straight shooter, great at team building. After I left Nike, she sort of was a constant supporter. She's done tons of offsite strategy and planning meetings for the firm and probably a dozen team-building off-sites. And she never took any money. She always says just to pay me with a bottle of wine and a restaurant gift card. So I got to learn her favorite restaurants. She's fantastic. Steven Gomez, who was the brand president at Nike apparel when I was there, was sort of my boss's boss's boss. I wasn't obviously exposed too much to Steven at Nike, but after Nike, his mentorship really was around getting involved with the community. He's been involved with a lot of really great organizations and he's brought me in to do executive searches and we've also worked together on a few nonprofit boards. He's very process-oriented and he thinks through how to engage all the stakeholders. His leadership is just Epic. I would pretty much do anything for him. His values and his commitment to the community is just inspiring to have in your corner. One other person that I mentioned is Jack Ramsey, he's been a brand and marketing person. He worked for Regis McKenna, which is one of the most successful PR and marketing firms, then Apple and Intel, and companies like that in the early days. He really helped me bring the brand to life and define our differentiation early on with both firms and again, for little or no money. And his thing was acknowledging that people helped him along the way. His expectation of me is that I pay it forward. So I try to also support other entrepreneurs as well. How'd you get into podcasting, how'd you discover it or decide that you wanted to do it? It was born out of a need. So you know, it's called How I Hire, where I interview VP and C level executives to learn their best executive hiring advice and insights. So I started looking for that content in the podcast sphere. And what I found was there were some recruiters and search consultants sharing their own views and some interviewing other recruiters and talent acquisition professionals. But no one was interviewing the actual hiring executives on how they hire. And I saw a huge gap in information that existed out there. And so, you know, people don't want to hear what I have to say. They want to hear what my clients have to say. I love the format because I've interviewed thousands and thousands of people over the years and it's my fascination, learning, and interviewing. I found How I Hire dot com was available and I recruited a top-notch podcaster to help me get things off the ground. It's been about 10, 11 months and we've been doing about one episode a month and we're about to kick it up to two a month. I've been able to get some pretty inspiring leaders to be on the show and it's been really well received and I'm super excited about it. It's one of my favorite things to do. Where do you think that curiosity comes from? Hiring's not a perfect science, so I'm always looking for content and it's so broad and deep. There are so many different areas you can talk about, executive recruiting, selection, diversity, there's just a million topics. And so the curiosity just comes from a learning sort of mindset. The fact that I found that I'm always talking about with our clients and, even when we could go to parties, meet up with friends, I'm always fascinated by again what people do and, and whether or not they're good at it. In companies, there's a leader for marketing and an expert in finance and supply chain and operations and product creation people, and they're all masters at what they do, but everybody recruits and hires and not everyone is great at. Let's talk about any nonprofit work you do. I know you guys do a lot of that. Yeah. I mean, it really aligns with our mission as a B Corp and as a purpose-driven search firm, about 5% of our work is nonprofit. And we have some of that is pro bono. And some of it is at a discounted rate. We donate about 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on equity and education and environmental conservation and outdoor education. So we work with and donate money to Nature Bridge and Open School and Big City Mountaineers, and Conservation Alliance, organizations like that. We also provide paid time off for volunteer work and match employee donations. We've done executive searches for American Alpine Club, Access Fund, Bicycle Transportation Alliance, OIA, Open School, and Period.org. Just to name a few off the top of my head. And then we also have donated space in our office building that we moved into last year. We have two of our desks are for nonprofits that we support. So, yeah. I try to make that central to our purpose so that 1% or more of revenue and we're trying to do more. I think the more success we have, the more we can do. What outdoor activities do you participate in, do you still out skiing? Not as much, I really have fallen off. My daughter's 12, almost 13, and she's become involved with the equestrian sport. So it's like a year-round thing. She's always training and competing as a Hunter jumper. And I love going to the barn and watching her train and compete. It takes away from our ability to go skiing and hiking on a lot of weekends because literally, it's both days and several times during the week. I'm learning a ton about the sport. It's fascinating. Do you have any suggestions or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor biz or grow their career if they're already in the industry? So I could focus on recent college grads or more experienced people, or do you have a preference? So to get into the outdoor industry, actually we have a ton of stuff on our blog and have information out there where people can check it out, but I'll give a good example too. Basically a lot of college grads come saying to me saying that they want to get their foot in the door, or I want to be in sports marketing. And, you know, when I ask if they want to work with athletes or in product marketing or in brand marketing, they're not really clear. They just think sports marketing is outdoor or athletic. So I think the first thing is you really need to do your homework and to understand what jobs are out there and where you might fit in and where the starting points are. and to get creative, you know, like if you just apply to Patagonia, there are 9,000 applicants, you know, for, I dunno how many internships, but a dozen at the most. So it's very hard to do that. And I'll give you an example of somebody who was successful, who I interacted with, from Michigan State. So I got a call. This was three years ago, from this guy named Oliver, Oliver Ambrose. He called me and he said, “I'm a student at Michigan State. I was looking at internships at Patagonia. I realized the recruiter there used to work for your firm, Alyssa Kessler. And so I started checking out your firm and I'm really interested in learning what you do. And wondering if you have any internship opportunities, I'll get myself to Portland for the summer. And these are some of the other things I'm doing”. And he started an outdoor blog, he did travel photography, he was a double major in philosophy and business and all this other stuff. He was obviously ambitious. And so I'm like, all right, well, well, let's talk some more. And we ended up hiring him and he came here for the summer. We got him a bike so he could commute. He was great. In fact, he worked for us for the entire rest of his senior year. Then he got an internship at Prana, probably because of some of the work that he did here. We even gave him a project around helping us become carbon neutral, like evaluating our footprint. And so he got an internship doing work on building a sustainability scoring system and then he got hired in product sourcing and sustainability. He made his way just by being really creative. I think that's a great example. And there are a few other programs that might be like the Portland State Athletic and Outdoor Industry certificate and Oregon State has a product management program. And I'm sure there are others. You are probably not going to get in the door doing the role of your dream job, but you'll get in the door doing something and then work your way into your dream job. If you could have a banner at the entrance to the OR show what would it say? I have two signs. One that says “hiring is a process, not an event”. And that is the more energy and effort and thoughtfulness you put into the process, the better the results you get. And on the other side of the banner, I'd say, “thank you for hiring my team. I love everybody in the industry and feel grateful.” How about favorite books or books you give us gifts? Well, lately I've been giving the book Made to Hire by Marin Huntley and that's about how to get the job you really want. And there are so many job seekers or people interested in making career moves. That's a book that I've been spending a lot of energy helping to promote cause I think it's really good. She has a background both on the corporate side and in marketing and she has also helped a lot of people. She has an online program as well as a book. Do you have a favorite outdoor gear purchase under a hundred dollars? Outdoor Research just came out with this essential face mask and it comes with a removable filter system and a special coating on the fabric that can provide some extra protection. I don't think they can make any claims that it's antiviral, but the construction, the ear loops, the shape, the way it's constructed looks really comfortable. Is there anything else you'd like to say or ask of our listeners? I'm so grateful for the outdoor industry and I feel honored to be on your podcast. I've really appreciated and enjoyed all of the friendships and relationships and professional support that I've gotten over the years. It's hard, you know, especially during these times, where we can't see each other. I really miss everybody and look forward to seeing things soon.

PAWS JAWS ENFORCING LAWS Episode 51 River Coffee Roasters 1240 Bay St. Florence OR 97439 Voted by Country Living, Florence is one of the best small towns in Oregon! That was evident as soon as we drove into this town of 8,000 on the banks of the Siuslaw River. What an authentic gem, and a secret we’d like to keep to ourselves.  Unfortunately we feel,for our listeners sake, compelled to share our find with anyone who may be looking for the perfect getaway, a place to raise a family, or retire. As soon as you turn on to Bay Street, look riverside and you will see River Roasters, a historic former Evinrude outboard motor repair building. This former mechanics shop has been turned into one of the most inviting, rustic, friendly coffee shops on the PCH. Looking down the street at the Historic Old Town district seems like a movie set, complete with ornamental street lights, and benches to sit on and people, or seal watch. You can stroll even further down the peer and watch the river boats plying the waters. Facing the river across the street you will encounter dozens of shops, galleries, and farm to table restaurants. Our first guest, Kathy Stone, owner of the once Siuslaw Coffee, now River Roasters was dreading becoming an empty nester, (even before she became one). She worried about how to fill her time, and took a leap of faith when Siuslaw Coffee became available. She purchased this historic building, and with her own personal touch, the rest, as they say is history. When in her twenties, she went to Europe with her sister, and they split up. Her advice,when directed to “a friend's house” to spend the night in Belgium... wear a bodysuit. But what did she do when invited a second time to sleep in someone else's room? How about the third time, and did she learn any lessons? Ken Larson, a retired police officer gives sound advice when you are first being introduced to your newborn son. Hint:It has something to do with physiology,and marking territory.Why would his police dog bite another law enforcement officer, instead of going after the perpetrator? Noisy handcuffs and a dog with a long memory, may be in the answer. What is your new normal? Ken’s advice for people suffering from PTSD should be practiced by everyone. Learn from one who knows...and if you think our podcast is long,  listen to what his favorite podcast is in length..whew you could grow a beard in that time. As a writer and herbalist Candace Hunter is a successful podcaster, in her own right. She has a business helping people, and teaching about herbal medicine. Is oregano a medicine? Find out this week. Is there magic in what she does, and how does her philosophy coincide with the Allopathic medical community? And how does coffee  play into this?  was it ever considered to be a magical elixir. Where does science stop and magic begin ?  It depends on who you talk to, but trust us you will come away with a much better understanding of the healing power this woman holds.

The Curbside Classic Car Show podcast is a fun look at the world of vintage cars, car events and the people that make them happen.

The Mako is a bit rough, and it needs new canvas; the gelcoat is oxidized and has some spider cracks; and the teak is faded. But the Evinrude 225 is in great shape, and it'll get that old hull up on a plane quicker than you can say Jackie Robinson.

Jim is a cancer survivor, has been married for over thirty-five years, has four grown children and two great children. Recently, Jim and his wife Stephanie JUST SAID YES to their dream of living on a boat. Join their adventure, which is chronicled on Our Floating Home.  Jim and I spoke about growing up boating, how they decided to live aboard, finding the perfect boat, and a whole lot more. This one is definitely worth a listen all the way through as Jim packed a lot of inspiring advice into this half hour, much more than I could fit in the blog. Enjoy!    On early boating experiences.....I grew up boating. My grandparents had a cottage on a Lake in Western Massachusetts. My parents grew up in that cottage. I remember I learned how to water ski there on this little 14’ boat with a 40 hp Evinrude engine. I just really love the water and boating. My parents had a boat. My older brother is big time into boating. My own boating career started four years ago. We bought a 30’ Sea Ray that we kept at the top of Chesapeake Bay. On deciding to live aboard.....A little more than a year ago, Stephanie was retiring from her career and came home and said ‘I think its time for a big adventure.' We didn’t know quite what that meant. Eventually she said hey, what if we lived on a boat? We sold our house and we bought a 50’ Carver motor yacht. On how the adventure is going so far.....We are so in love with this boat. I loved my Sea Ray, the only difference is Sea Ray had so many great t shirts and Carver makes nothing! We have been loving life. It is slower, easier and we can feel disconnected from everything so much easier. It's an amazing lifestyle. On how boating equals stress relief.....We had about an hour and twenty minute drive on Fridays from our home to our boat and we could feel ourselves de-stressing on the drive. When we stepped on the boat, 100% of whatever was going on that week was forgotten. It was an amazing way to de-stress. We could go ten minutes, drop anchor, and feel like we were on vacation.   On how to follow their adventure.....We started a blog – ourfloatinghome.com – everybody was so curious about where we were going and how to stay in touch. I just wrote a blog post called ‘Simple, Slower, and Chores’ and I describe how simple life is on the boat. We get up, I go up and watch the sun go up over the water, have breakfast. I love watching boats. We’re always looking at the water. It’s a slower way of life. We have no commute. We’re not dealing with traffic. We’ve got reality TV just outside our boat. And then for chores, when I had my home, I was tired of cutting the grass and shoveling the driveway, all that stuff. The thing about the boat, it’s always gotta be clean, something always gas to be fixed, and I don’t mind! I would so much rather wash and wax my boat than mow my lawn or weed whack! On planning their route, or not.....It’s less planned out than you might think. We came up with an 18-month plan. It’s not bothering us that we don’t have a specific reservation or know where we’re going. I’ve structured my coaching business to do three days per week. All the calls happen Tuesday-Thursday. Friday through Monday we can be mobile. If we pull into somewhere we love we can stay there. We’re totally flexible and loving not having an exact idea of what we’ll be doing. On useful technology for living aboard.....I have so many apps. I have an app called BoatTracker which will tell you your average speed, top speed, how long you were out. That’s a very good way for me to keep track of oil changes and things like that. It will also show you with a satellite where you were with your entire trip. There’s another one I got called Anchor Alarm. When you set your anchor, you use your finger and draw a little area that the boat is allowed to swing. If it heads out of the circle you have drawn, it will alert you. The other thing I use is Navionics. It’s always updating and is really cool. On 'Just Saying Yes'.....Some people say you should have waited a year and maybe, but are you ever really ready? Sometimes you just have to say yes and go for it. Sometimes you can overthink things, the what if. When you get really excited about doing something big in life, you get romantically excited about it but then the other side of our brain kicks in and we start playing the what if game. On using Social Media to further boating education.....We both belong to a lot of these Facebook groups. There’s a facebook group called LiveAboard, Trawler Living, Carver facebook groups. There's boat repairs, so many things you can learn from other people. There’s an education out there if you’re willing to look and be open minded. On possible future boating plans.....There’s a thing called the Great Loop! We started reading these books and it’s something we are considering. We’ve read several stories of people who do the Great Loop, it takes them about a year. One of the things that appeals to us when you do the great loop, most of it is slow. You're seeing parts of this country that nobody really sees.   Please, listen to the whole podcast. The blog really doesn't do this one justice! Happy boating! And to all the Northern listeners, I hope you delay the shrink wrapping as long as possible!   

On our latest show: Why some warblers won't go west; the duck dude that sounds like an Evinrude; and a great solution to your House Sparrow problem.

http://www.biblestudytools.com/ephesians/passage/?q=ephesians+1:2-8 (Ephesians 1:2-8) Every year, many people visit Itasca State Park in northern Minnesota to be at the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River. It's only a little trickle stream, but as it flows toward Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico, it becomes a wide river, a powerful flowing river of current. Likewise, the cross of Jesus Christ is the beginning point of the blood-red river of God's grace, which flows to you and me, and to all the world for all eternity that we might be forgiven and reconciled into a relationship with the living God. When I was a seven-year-old boy, the youngest of four sons born to Oscar and Viola Laaveg, we were boating one day on Clear Lake, Iowa. We had a 14′ maiden boat with a forty-horse, big twin Evinrude pushing it. When we, as a family of six, traveled in that boat across the water, I don't think we had more than a two-inch clearance from the side of the boat to the water. We had many fun times in the boat. At the end of the day, it was time to load the boat onto the trailer. The car my father owned to pull the boat and trailer was a ‘63 Belair Chevy with 3 on the tree. My brother, Joel, and I were in the car. I was behind the steering wheel messing around. I had moved the stick shift out of gear and into neutral and was pretending to drive. As I pulled the parking brake lever, the car swiftly began to roll down the incline ramp into the water. My dad yelled “Hit the breaks! Hit the breaks!” but by the time my little foot found the brake pedal, my head was underwater and the car was floating, all four tires off the ground. It was too late. My dad had to call a tow truck to pull the whole mess out of the water. I remember watching as the tow truck hooked up to the car. My dad put his arm around my shoulders and said, “It's okay. We can fix this.” In every person's life are moments where we've inadvertently, foolishly, or rebelliously pulled the parking brake off and rolled into a mess. We get underwater and can't fix it. Everybody needs forgiveness. This is why God offers us mercy and grace in the name of Jesus. In the Old Testament, He established a system of sacrifice to offer mercy and grace – the sacrifice of lambs and goats. Mercy is pardon given, even though punishment is deserved. Grace is the undeserved, unmerited favor and blessing, love of God for us. In the Old Testament system of sacrifice, God established a way for atoning sacrifice to be made for the forgiveness of sins. A sacrifice is something precious offered for a reason. Atonement is the satisfaction for a committed offense. God said, “The life of the creature is in the blood.” Sacrifice is my gift to make atonement at the altar, says the Lord. Blood makes atonement for your life. Throughout the entire Old Testament covenant time, God's people would worship on the Day of Atonement called Yom Kippur. Once a year the high priest would take two male goats. He would sacrifice one and carry the blood into the holy of holies. Then he would sprinkle the blood on the cover of the ark of the covenant (called the mercy seat) for atonement for the sins of all God's people. He would then take the second goat to the edge of the village and put his hand on its head to transfer the guilt and shame of all the people. The goat would travel off into the wilderness as a scapegoat bearing guilt and shame away. All of this foreshadowed the death and resurrection of Jesus for us. When Jesus came on the scene, John the Baptist looked at Him coming for baptism in the Jordan River and said, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” Many passages in the New Testament make the connection between an atoning sacrifice by bloodshed, the forgiveness of sins, and reconciliation between God's people and Him. We find Jesus' words: • “This is the blood of the covenant poured out for you for the forgiveness of your sins” (Matthew 26:28). In today's text

For mange er sommer en kombinasjon av sol og båt. Det første er i hendene på yr.no, men det siste er håndfaste greier og noe Jan og Odd Richard gleder seg til året rundt. Ikke minst til lyden av en Seven Marine på tomgang. Ikke av de mest miljøvennlige skyvkreftene du kan ha bak på båten, men definitivt den mest vellåtende. Hvor mange vet at påhengsmotoren oppsto i hodet til den Amerikautvandrede Ole Evinrude? Og at Evinrude fortsatt er det du skal ha hvis du, som Odd Richard, er forelsket i totaktere. Men bensin med marinapris som inkluderer veiavgift er en belastning på feriepengene. Kanskje den neste påhengeren skal være svensk - en kraftbasse med turbodiesel? Da slipper du å bidra til bedre veier der du flyter av gårde i 40 knop.

For our first episode of 2008 we bring you a RAGER from San Francisco's Evinrude (Stimulus, Netamp). One of the Bay's few remaining all-vinyl DJ's, he's been a functioning vinyl junky for about a decade, selling his drums for the stuff shortly after getting hooked. He started making himself known in the Bay Area around 2000, slinging a special recipe of hard trance, acid, energy, and breaks under the moniker Darth. A few years later he joined forces with Dirt and Nugz to start breaks weekly Broke-Ass, and launched a monthly at the now-defunct @lpha Bar called Smoke Breaks. He also briefly ran a weekly called Crooked at Nickie's on Haight Street, which was interrupted by the gentrification of that venue.

Cliff is in the dog house for taking the boat to the marina for winter storage without taking the water line out of the lake. Since the paddle boat really isn't up to the task Cliff and Bruce hang a vintage Evinrude 8hp outboard on the end of the floating dock and it's anchors away.
