Marcin Bruś is Group Director of Advertising at Allegro, one of Central Europe's leading e-commerce platforms and Poland's undisputed number one. With a career spanning P&G, Facebook, venture-backed businesses and now Allegro, he brings a broad perspective on how marketing is evolving. In this episode, we explore the rise of retail media, why brands are shifting more spend toward measurable, closed-loop environments, and how Allegro is building its advertising proposition around data, technology and purchase intent.

Tune in to hear about: Why retail media is outgrowing the wider advertising market How Allegro is building its retail media proposition in Central Europe Measurement, incrementality and closed-loop data How AI could reshape product discovery Why brands need to "spend a little, learn a lot and scale up" Why future marketers will need to combine consumer understanding, technology and risk-taking Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fmcgguys/ Audio Mixing by Modest Ferrer Voice Acting by Jason Martorell Parsekian Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The FMCG Guys (Dwyer Partners SL) or its partners.

Alcohol is so normalized in our culture that it can be surprisingly hard to tell when a casual habit has quietly become a coping mechanism. In this episode, we're having an honest, judgment-free conversation about women, alcohol, and midlife—and asking a question that's worth considering no matter where you fall on the spectrum: Is alcohol actually serving you anymore?We talk about the nightly wine creep, using alcohol to manage anxiety and stress, drinking as a reward or social lubricant, binge drinking, tolerance, and the subtle signs that your relationship with alcohol may be changing. We also get personal about our own experiences and explore why midlife can be such an important time to get curious about old coping mechanisms, what we're trying not to feel, and whether it might be time to reset the table.Episode Highlights[0:03] - Why we're finally talking about women, alcohol, and our relationship with drinking at midlife[1:54] - Colette opens up about leaning on wine and cigarettes as coping mechanisms during her divorce[3:52] - Why being high-functioning doesn't necessarily mean your relationship with alcohol isn't problematic[5:54] - Growing up in a culture where heavy drinking was normalized—and how those early messages stick with us[8:09] - The “second wave” of alcohol at midlife and how our relationship with drinking can change as we age[9:40] - The nightly wine creep: when a glass while cooking becomes your signal that you're finally allowed to relax[11:06] - Using alcohol to quiet anxiety, stress, rumination, and difficult relationships[12:42] - Sleep disruption, rebound anxiety, and the ways alcohol can leave us feeling worse instead of better[14:14] - “I deserve this”: when alcohol becomes the reward for surviving another exhausting day[14:47] - Weekend binge drinking, blackouts, and when getting wasted becomes synonymous with having fun[16:35] - Laura gets personal about how problematic binge drinking affected her marriage[17:27] - Why alcohol can be so compelling as a coping mechanism—and how tolerance and dependence can creep up on us[20:35] - Signs worth paying attention to: exceeding your own limits, increasing tolerance, and creating rules around drinking[21:52] - Hiding, minimizing, sneaking, or becoming protective of your alcohol use[22:46] - When you feel like you need alcohol to sleep, socialize, have sex, relax, or tolerate difficult emotions[25:05] - Listening when someone you trust expresses concern about your drinking[25:26] - An important warning about alcohol dependence and why suddenly stopping heavy, regular drinking can be dangerous[26:16] - Moving beyond the label of “alcoholic” and understanding alcohol problems as a continuum[28:47] - Asking ourselves the bigger midlife question: Do I want to reset my relationship with alcohol?[29:48] - Experimenting with changing familiar drinking patterns when it is medically safe to do so[30:21] - Colette reflects on going an entire year without alcohol—and why she's still questioning whether she wants it in her life[31:52] - Looking underneath the drinking habit at the feelings, fears, and experiences we may be trying to avoidIf today's discussion resonated with you or sparked curiosity, please rate, follow, and share "Insights from the Couch" with others.

I finished making the fringe, wove in the ends and corrected a few mistakes. I used a plastic storage bin filled with hot water and Dawn and then climbed in and stomped on it like grapes, then rinsed and dried. I did this twice to get the fulling I liked. When the blanket was dry I then brushed with a stiff brush. Surprising how much effort it took to full the blanket. Can't do that with merino sweaters! I love the blanket and how the washing and fulling soften it. Dimity, Diaper, Damask Blanket: I wove a blanket using 5 colors of warp and a single color of weft. I wove a bird's eye twill which falls in the Diaper category. I've woven in the ends and started the fringe. The fringe maker I ordered is a life saver! I still need to wash.

Sheik Meeajaun: Scrum Masters Must Learn by Experimenting When AI Joins the Agile Team Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "Never be afraid to admit you don't know something." - Sheik Meeajaun Sheik brings a current challenge that goes beyond one team: the gap between Scrum theory and real work when the context changes faster than the playbook. His example is AI. Scrum Masters are now asked to help teams where AI agents contribute to delivery, but no certification course can fully prepare us for that. Sheik's starting point is humility: say "I don't know," learn the domain, run small experiments, and reflect quickly. In one team, two human developers worked alongside several AI agents. They could not run a normal standup with Claude, so the team created a status report and reviewed it with the human team members. Sheik framed the agents as junior developers: useful, fast, and still requiring clear instructions, review, and guardrails. That framing helped experienced developers see AI collaboration as coaching and oversight, not as magic productivity. The key lesson is practical empiricism: try, inspect, adapt, and keep learning as the work changes. In this episode, we refer to Scrumling's AI Product Owner course and the need to adapt Scrum practice to AI-enabled work. Self-reflection Question: What new reality is your team facing where the honest Scrum Master answer should start with "I don't know yet"? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
In this episode, we break down the elements driving the modern era of endurance performance and explain how to cut through the social media noise to focus on what actually matters in coaching. We analyze the impact of elite pacing strategies and dissect how subtle tactical errors—like running wide on corners—can cost athletes anywhere from 27 meters to a massive 300+ meters over a race. Plus, we share evidence-based coaching insights on building true consistency, setting up your data screens for race day, and navigating the psychological trap of adrenaline-fueled pacing decisions. This episode is brought to you by TriVelo Coaching. We help triathletes and endurance athletes train smarter to race faster.

Crystal Hincks generated more than $250,000 in consulting engagements in a single month.But that result came after months of experimenting with lead generation strategies that worked... just not well enough.Listening tours. White papers. Webinars.She started getting in front of more decision makers.But those conversations still weren't consistently turning into paid consulting engagements.In Episode 286, Melisa Liberman sits down with Crystal to unpack the full journey behind the $250K result: the lead generation strategies she tried, what she learned from each experiment, what was breaking down between conversations and paid work, and what finally changed.Crystal shares what she discovered about her sales process, how she changed the way she showed up in conversations with prospective clients, and why that shift mattered.Then she built a lead generation initiative around how her buyers already behave.That experiment generated more than 100 applications and led to more than $250,000 in paid consulting engagements in one month.But this episode isn't about copying Crystal's tactic.It's about the process she used to get there.How do you know whether to keep going with a lead generation strategy, refine it, or replace it?How do you stay with an experiment long enough to learn from it without wasting months on something that isn't working?And how do you recognize when the problem isn't your lead generation tactic at all, but something else in the way you're creating and converting consulting opportunities?Crystal shares what she learned from the strategies that didn't work, the ones that worked only partially, and the shifts that ultimately brought the pieces together.If you're working on lead generation but still wondering why your effort isn't translating into enough consulting clients or paid opportunities, this episode will help you see what to evaluate next instead of assuming you simply need to do more.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] Introduction to Crystal Hincks and why her story matters[00:02] Companion resource: Lead Gen Sprint at www.ConsultantSprint.com [00:20] Getting stuck in the friend zone and the premature proposal problem [00:29] The mindset shift: from helpful vendor to expert and peer [00:34] Value Made Visible: the initiative that created $250K in one month [00:41] What the experiment taught her about lead generation [00:45] Advice for consultants who are experimenting but not yet seeing resultsResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: The Consultant's Lead Gen Sprint.

Tom's Mini Course is LIVE!!! LINK IS HERE - https://the-combine-coaching-community.circle.so/athleticcoachingminicourse In this week's episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, we break down why so many personal trainers are losing their passion and getting stuck in a rut: they've stopped experimenting on themselves. We discuss why relying solely on basic "3x10" templates and MyFitnessPal tracking can create boring content, and how trying different periodisation models (such as wave loading and 5-3-1) can revitalise your coaching. Plus, the guys explore why soft skills win long-term client retention, debate the logistics of professional home organisers, and rank the ultimate top five retro British sweets!

No elite athlete wins alone, so why do so many leaders try to?That question sits at the heart of my conversation with Robert Stephenson, a coach, mentor, supervisor and leadership facilitator. We explore the crucial role of coaching and support in modern leadership, and why it's so often the piece leaders neglect. Robert shares his unconventional route from acting and theatre into coaching, and why leaders are quick to offer support to their teams while denying it to themselves. As he puts it, no athlete ever succeeds without a strong support team behind them and leaders shouldn't have to either.Key topics covered: 00:00 Intro 00:11 The importance of coaching and interventions for modern leaders 02:09 The challenges of disengagement and loneliness among leaders 03:16 Leaders' struggles with vulnerability and carrying all responsibility 04:11 Decision-making fatigue and the benefits of engaging teams 07:27 The impact of AI on leadership roles and workplace change 09:41 The unique value of human coaches versus AI-driven solutions 12:10 Experimenting with AI in leadership and personal productivity 18:08 The ripple effect of leadership stress on organisations 21:01 The necessity for leaders to have support systemsAbout Robert StephensonRobert Stephenson is an executive coach, facilitator and Managing Partner at Zenith Leadership Ltd. He helps leaders move beyond performance into presence, so they can lead with clarity, courage and connection.Originally trained as an actor and mime artist, he began his career in physical theatre, exploring how story, movement and energy shape the way we show up. That creative lens still runs through his coaching today.With over 20 years experience across coaching, supervision, training and facilitation, Robert has worked with senior leaders in organisations such as the NHS, BT, Sony Music, Estée Lauder and Skyscanner. His work blends narrative intelligence, systems thinking, the Enneagram and embodied practice to help leaders think more clearly, navigate complexity and create environments where others can thrive. He believes leadership is not about status, it is about story, energy and presence.Connect with Robert: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-stephenson1/ Website: https://zenith-leadership.com/ About Ruth Kudzi:Ruth is the founder of Optimus Coaching Academy and a well-respected and successful coach, speaker and author who has worked across sectors including leadership, career and more recently business and mindset.

"How do you use AI every day?"
Knowing what to eat before, during, and after a workout can make or break your performance and recovery, but most advice out there is confusing or contradictory. In this episode, we break down the real science of workout fueling and how to apply it to your specific training. You'll learn: Why total daily protein intake matters more than workout-specific timing How carbs fuel endurance and performance, and when you actually need them The best timing for meals and snacks around your workouts How fueling differs for running, lifting, and long training sessions What to eat after a workout to support muscle recovery and growth What caffeine and supplements can (and can't) do for performance How fasting and gut training affect exercise nutrition Whether you're lifting, running, or training for something longer, this episode gives you a practical, science-backed framework for fueling your workouts so you perform better and recover faster.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Jack Raines is a writer and investor. At 24, he quit his corporate finance job at UPS, bought a one-way ticket to Barcelona, and spent the next year traveling through 25 countries while writing a newsletter that grew to hundreds of thousands of readers. He went on to earn an MBA from Columbia, help build Sherwood News at Robinhood, and join the venture capital firm Slow Ventures, where he invests in creators. His first book, Young Money: A Field Guide to Finding Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties, is out now. Key Learnings Jack's Grandma Ruth took him to Africa when he was 11. She was in her late 60s. She had the money. She said: "I can spend it on you now or leave it to you when I'm dead. This is better." Money has no value until you exchange it for something. We need to decide what we want that to be. Every year of your 20s is worth $10 million. (Nikita Bier) You'll never have this window of flexibility again. Say yes to interesting experiences in your 20s. Your income is going to climb exponentially anyway. Don't save $500 at the cost of a memory. Move to where the action is. Jack moved to New York for business school. Then San Francisco for a job. Then back to New York. High slope of learning. High slope of contact with good people. Network amplifies ability. It doesn't create it. A million times zero is still zero. A million times two is two million. The only real risk is not doing anything. Every opportunity in life comes through a person. The best networking tool is doing great work. How did Gracie Abrams open for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour? She wrote great music. Taylor noticed. Taylor called. In your 20s, potential is valued at a premium. In your 30s and beyond, proof of work matters more. Experimenting when you are young speed-runs the learning curve. You develop the skill of taking shots. That skill compounds. It's much harder to start being risk-on at 35 if you weren't risk-on at 25. Personal finance is simple. Spend less than you make. Build a six-month emergency fund. Take the 401(k) match. Contribute to your IRA. Don't gamble on individual stocks. Stay invested. Stay employed. Don't go into credit card debt. Don't get divorced. User error interrupts compounding more than anything else. Set up the boring foundation. Then stop touching it. Most retirees never touch the principal. (Nick Maggiulli) They stack money out of fear, then die with more than they started with. Daniel Kahneman on loss aversion: the pain of losing $100 is twice as strong as the joy of gaining $100. That's why people over-save. Your burn rate at 70 is way lower than at 45. No kids at home. No tuition. Less energy to do stuff. Plan accordingly. Bill Perkins' Die with Zero philosophy... A useful insight was in the first chapter: his best friend took a payday loan at 23 to backpack Europe for three months. Same career trajectory as Bill. Just way more fun at 24. People don't want to think about their mortality. So they focus on making the number go up. If you actually internalized that you're going to die, you'd be more intentional about your time and money. Jack's champagne moment a year from now: He sells a ton of copies of it. And it's still relevant. Reflection Questions Where are you spending your best years earning money you'll never actually enjoy? What would change if you accepted that your peak-energy window is closing? Where are you standing still because the risk of moving feels bigger than the risk of staying? What does the only real risk (not doing anything) look like in your life right now? What is the great work you could do that would make the right person notice you?

“Mythology and ancient esoteric beliefs are finally found in cutting-edge science.”—Rick Rubin, bestselling author of The Creative ActFrom the author of the global bestseller The Secret History of the World comes an epic new history of the relationship between spiritual belief and cutting-edge science. Includes beautiful black-and-white illustrations throughout.Human beings have a deep-rooted desire to find something worth believing in. But there is a widespread assumption that science is at odds with spiritual belief and offers the only intelligent way to think about the universe.In this epic new history, Mark Booth offers an alternative view, showing us how the great geniuses of modern science, from Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, and Albert Einstein to today's architects of AI, turned instead to secret, mystical, and “higher” teachings, including Indian mysticism and Freemasonry, to make sense of the strange phenomena they were encountering.Experimenting with alternative states of consciousness, they risked isolation and even madness.Here then is the dark, dramatic story of modern science—of love, betrayal, attempted murder, multiple suicides, sexual experimentation, and transgression—from which unfolds the awe-inspiring discoveries which have transformed our lives for good, and potentially for evil. For just as the work of J. Robert Oppenheimer and others ended the Second World War but brought humanity to the brink of extinction, so, too, has the spectacular growth of AI.The result of many years of research, and deep conversations with prominent academics in the field, this book takes us on an exhilarating journey, in the company of some of the greatest minds of our age, toward a deeper understanding of our place in the cosmos.Jonathan Black is the pen name of Mark Booth. He was educated at Ipswich School and Oriel College, Oxford, where he studied Philosophy and Theology. After a long career in publishing, he now writes full time. He is the author of the global bestseller The Secret History of the World, The Secret History of Dante: Unearthing the Mysteries of the Inferno and The Sacred History of the World: How Angels, Mystics and Higher Intelligence Made our World. His books are the result of a lifetime spent reading literature in this area, publishing many of the leading authors in the field and hanging around antiquarian bookshops.

In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker delves into the complexities of reactivity in parenting, focusing on arousal misattribution and how it impacts the parent-child dynamic. He discusses how a parent's emotional responses can often misinterpret a child's behavior due to early developmental experiences, unmet needs, and role pressures. The conversation explores the critical juncture where parents may mistakenly attribute their feelings of urgency, shame, or overwhelm to their child's actions, rather than recognizing the broader context. This episode offers valuable insights for both clinicians and parents, providing tools to foster healthier, more compassionate relationships within families. Tune in to explore these themes and more on The Light Inside.Timestamps00:00:00 - Introduction to The Light Inside Podcast00:00:11 - Understanding Behavior in Context00:00:22 - Parental Reactivity and Child Behavior00:00:32 - Early Developmental Structures00:00:44 - Clinician's Role in Parental Reactivity00:00:54 - Identifying Organizational Hinges00:01:16 - Exploring Reactivity in Parenting00:02:32 - Returning to Parenting Discussion00:02:43 - Parental Urgency and Child Behavior00:03:04 - Developmental Patterns in Parenting00:03:25 - Clinical Alliance in Parenting00:03:36 - Introduction of Jen Lumanlon00:04:09 - Jen Lumanlon's Background00:04:28 - Jen's Approach to Trauma-Informed Intervention00:05:44 - Client Models and Interactions00:06:04 - Concrete Examples in Parenting00:06:38 - Addressing Older Children00:07:00 - Parental Arousal and Child Behavior00:07:41 - Distinguishing Between Triggered and Flooded00:08:14 - Exploring Parental Reactions00:09:35 - Parental Attribution of Child Behavior00:10:06 - Role of Therapy in Parental Coaching00:11:01 - Client Alliance and Rupture Repair Cycle00:11:23 - Parental Body State as a Clinical Cue00:11:53 - Treating Parental Arousal00:12:03 - Specific Incident Exploration00:13:07 - Identifying Recurring Patterns00:14:10 - Early Developmental Patterns00:14:32 - Parental Attribution and Child Behavior00:15:25 - Testing Arousal Representation00:16:07 - Constructing Emotions00:16:57 - Creating Meaning from Parental Reactions00:18:20 - Arousal and Attribution00:19:15 - Parental Internal State Attribution00:20:06 - Self-Compassion in Parenting00:21:09 - Identifying Successful Responses00:22:10 - Parental Role Reversal00:23:15 - Tracking Parental Body Language00:24:06 - Creating a Meaningful Narrative00:25:00 - Needs-Based Framework in Parenting00:26:11 - Meeting Both Parent and Child Needs00:27:11 - Connecting with Self and Others00:28:28 - Experimenting with Strategies00:30:04 - Decoupling Safety from Control00:31:00 - Pausing to Reflect00:32:02 - Avoiding Catastrophizing00:33:58 - Offering Choices and Agency00:35:06 - Recognizing Unconscious Coercion00:36:08 - Parental Authority and Autonomy00:37:01 - Resistance as a Signal00:38:59 - Child's Experience of Agency00:40:01 - Developmental Phases and Autonomy00:41:14 - Safety and Autonomy00:42:29 - Iterative Experiments in Parenting00:44:03 - Raising Needs-Aware Children00:45:09 - Grandparenting Perspective00:46:05 - Developmental Expectations and BiasesFive key takeaways 1. Arousal is data, not proof.A parent's tightening throat, stomach tension, shame, or urgency matters, but it does not automatically prove that the child is causing the distress.2. The child may be the contact point, not the cause.3. The clinical question is not “How do we fix the child?”4. Needs create a cleaner pathway than scripts.5. Agency must be real, not performed.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest:Jen LumanlanExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

For a long time, the biggest problem therapists faced in private practice was overworking. Burnout was a real risk during COVID — there were too many people needing care and too many therapists pushing past their own limits because there was always one more person to help.But what if that is no longer the challenge your practice is facing?In this “Best Of” episode, Linzy revisits her conversation with Julie Herres, founder and CEO of GreenOak Accounting and author of Profit First for Therapists, about what private practice owners can do when demand slows down, clients become more cautious with money, and the boundaries and structure that were once put in place to protect you from burnout start to feel a little too rigid for the season you are currently in.Together, Linzy and Julie talk about what it looks like to course-correct without panic or shame. They explore the difference between short-term actions that can bring money into the business now and longer-term moves that help make the practice more sustainable over time.They also talk about the places where business decisions can feel personal, especially around fees, client load, marketing, and the kind of flexibility that may be needed when the economy shifts.If your practice has been feeling quieter, slower, or just different lately, this conversation will help you look at what your business may need now with more clarity, curiosity, and steadiness.Timestamps:03:49 - Julie Sets Up Part Two of the Conversation04:24 - The Pendulum Swing in Private Practice05:13 - When the Problem Changes from Burnout to Lower Demand06:46 - Crickets, Tumbleweeds, and a New Business Challenge07:15 - When Protective Boundaries Become Rigidity08:21 - Why Practice Owners May Need to Make Hard Calls09:20 - Fast Money Actions vs. Long-Term Business Actions10:08 - Seeing More Clients When the Business Needs Stability11:05 - Working In the Business and On the Business12:22 - Experimenting with What This Season Requires13:48 - Marketing When Clients Are More Price Sensitive14:07 - Why Expert Support Can Shorten the Path16:10 - What Adaptive Practice Owners Are Doing Differently17:14 - Tracking What Actually Works in Your Marketing18:40 - When the Data Surprises You19:32 - Should Therapists Lower Their Fees?21:31 - Running the Numbers Before Making Fee Decisions22:29 - Pricing, Worth, and Meeting the Market23:48 - Julie and Linzy Summarize the Conversation24:28 - Linzy's Final Reflection and Community InvitationConnect with Julie Herres:Julie Herres is the founder and CEO of GreenOak Accounting, a firm that exclusively serves therapists, psychologists, and counselors in private practice across the United States.

Some had even left private practice, or were avoiding starting one, because managing finances was just too stressful.So Linzy set out to support helpers and healers with developing peace of mind about their money.

Vanessa Monsequeira spent years leading change initiatives and helping organizations roll out new systems. Again and again, she saw that the hardest part wasn't convincing people to change, it was that the work itself had never been intentionally designed.

Volatility is just the new normal, and it's crushed everyone's appetite for complexity at the exact moment complexity demands attention. Executives who used to love a whiteboard now say "just tell me the answer." Five-year plans read as fiction within months. Employees trust leadership less than ever and with AI in the mix the old moats (talent, pricing, product, position) are eroding or gone. So what's left? In this episode, Rodney sits down with Sam Rothkopf, co-steward of The Ready, to lay out the firm's new thesis: durable competitive advantage is the ability to execute in complexity, and the organizations that win will be the ones built to benefit from change. They get into why discernment beats endless experimentation, why execution is strategy now, and what it looks like when a company gets it right. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization?

Marsha's Projects Compass Moon Creations: Finished! About 500 yards of about DK or worsted from 10 ounces of merino in a blue/green. Realized that when pulling from inside and outside, one single ends up with more twist. Harder to spin. Sheridan Flats Spinning: Finished! Purchased 24 oz of 80/15/6 wool/mohair/silk roving in the colorway Kaleidoscope. The owner said to spin at a worsted weight for best results. Mill is Olympic Yarn & Fiber located in Cosmopolis, WA. I was really surprised that I ended up with only about 650 yards of worsted weight yarn. I overplied the first skein but ran it through my wheel and took out a lot of the twist. Looks and feels so much better. Trillium Lake by Kay Hopkins: Using Queensland Collection Coastal Cotton Fine. I'm getting close to finishing. Putting in the purl rounds of hen and then will bind off. The sleeves should go quick as there are just a few rounds of stockinette and then ribbing Mellow Mood Top: by Julia Piro. Using Queensland Collection Eco Twist in the colorway Crimson Canyon. Socks: Using Madeline Tosh sock in the colorway Plum Tree. Silver Bags: Sewing bags with pacific cloth to protect silver.

GUEST: John Pawluk (Twisted Cow Distillery Founder and Distiller) Some distillers master tradition. Others ask why the tradition exists in the first place. In this episode, Drew Hannush sits down with Twisted Cow founder and distiller John Pawluk, whose gift of curiosity has led him to challenge long-held assumptions about fermentation, copper, grain, barrel aging, and flavor development. There is plenty of discussion around one of John's favorite tools for stretching his abilities-the iStill. Enjoy this return to long-form discussions about why and how whiskey is made. It's a fascinating look inside the mind of a whiskey maker who refuses to accept "because that's how it's always been done." In This Episode Why curiosity drives better whiskey Building flavor before the barrel Rethinking copper's role The science of fermentation Why grain origin matters Stone mills versus hammer mills Barrel proof and flavor evolution Learning from tradition, not following it Experimenting with blue corn and heirloom grains Creating a distillery built for discovery TRANSCRIPTS: whiskeylore.org/interviews JOIN THE SPEAKEASY: patreon.com/whiskeylore

John is a retired educator with over 34 years of teaching experience who has turned his passion for truth and health into a mission to expose the lies of the modern food system. He is currently 60 years old and swears he feels younger than 30! He's been following a carnivore lifestyle for over three years, after spending three years as ketovore and a year in keto before that — an almost 8-year transformation that's completely reshaped his body, mind, and life. John lives in Florida with his husband, Doug, who's remained committed to the keto lifestyle and is thriving with it. John has completed his tribal tattoo sleeves on both arms — a bold visual reflection of the primal strength, warrior mindset, and personal confidence that carnivore living has given him.

More tokens = more ROI, right?
Today I am joined by best selling author Austin Kleon, the author of Steal like an Artist, Show Your Work, Keep Going, and his newest book, Don't Call It Art.This conversation feels timely because I've been hearing from so many people lately who are just feeling creatively exhausted. They've built businesses around something that they once loved making, but somewhere along the way the creativity started to be replaced by running the business.Those production schedules, the marketing plans, inventory, emails. All the things, right? Austin and I talk about that tension that a lot of people feel in this episode. How easy it is to lose the playfulness and the curiosity that got us into business in the first place.We talk about the pressure to always be professional, the fear of looking stupid or not knowing everything, and why staying curious actually matters so much as we grow our businesses and ourselves as creative leaders.We also talk about creating like children do. Experimenting, playing, making bad art on purpose, working with your hands, getting outside, taking walks, journaling.There's a really interesting conversation here about how creativity doesn't always come from sitting and thinking harder.Sometimes it comes from movement, from changing your environment, from using your hands or stepping away long enough for your brain to reconnect the dots in the background.Today's episode is brought to you by our Proof to Product resource library.
