This week, Beer Sessions Radio is all about Vermont hops. On the show is Bob Grim and Sam Keane from Foam Brewers in Burlington, VT; and Julian Post and Max Licker from Champlain Valley Hops in Starksboro, VT. The conversation begins with all things hops. Julian introduces everyone to Vermont agriculture, explains just how niche the hop industry is, and wows the gang with some impressive hops statistics. Then, Bob and Sam offer a brewer’s perspective, emphasizing the importance of sourcing quality, local ingredients, and collaborating with your community to create a unique atmosphere within a brewery. For Bob and Sam, using local hops offers an exciting end result, with tropical, unexpected tasting notes people have never tried before. At the end of the evening, the gang asks Julian for a couple of short and long-term projections. Julian offers a preview into what he’ll be growing this season, and then also reflects on his biggest fear in the next ten years.Photo Courtesy of Max Licker.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Welcome back to this week’s episode of the Catapulting Commissions podcast with your host, Anthony Garcia. Today’s show is going to bring to you some seriously high-level sales coaching. Joining us on the show is Bob Lantelme, an expert in all things sales from top to bottom, having more than 25 years of experience in the space. He’s here to break down his philosophy and share some wisdom we can take home with us. One year out of college, Bob worked as a laborer--it didn’t take long for him to make the switch to sales in the form of time-sharing. He dove into the fire headfirst but ended up getting his real estate license. For Bob, sales was a perfect fit and lead him to explore a plethora of sales positions, from ATM to luxury cars to services and public-private partnerships. When you’re selling directly to consumers, there are always reasons as to why they say yes or no. Bob tells us that our biggest mistake is that we simply think too much. When Bob was working selling vacuums, the first seven doors he got in he made a sale. When he experienced that success and was contacted by higher-ups, he started to overthink what it was he did to become successful. As soon as that happened, he experienced a drought. The truth is, the product sold itself--he was just demonstrating it. It about connecting with your potential client--talking about what they want to talk about. We can be our own worst enemy if we don’t. When the product can’t sell itself, the art of salesmanship and influence comes more into play. For example, if a client comes in to purchase a Porche, you have to give them the experience they want. If they ask you about an alloy screw, you need to tell them about the varieties of screws in the vehicle--it doesn’t matter if you’re a car guy or not--you need to cater to the customer. You have to be honest, in that, if there isn’t a good fit or good deal, you have to let them know. In the long run, it’ll pay off in the form of referrals. It’s about trust and being willing to risk losing a short-term sale to invest in the future. You’re not here to make one sale. This is how you build credibility. So, how do you approach the ‘big whale’ in B2B business? These are sales that can change your financial situation for good. You want to treat them like everybody else. No one wants to be treated as though you’re their fanboy or fangirl. They are people--successful people--just like us. People want to talk about ‘me’ -- let them! Consider looking at things like their charitable giving to find insight into their passions. There is a good chance they have a reason for being passionate enough to give to a cause. This allows you to build rapport in a meaningful way. When you’re selling something, it has to be a quid-pro-quo transaction. It should be mutually beneficial and no one should feel like they were just played. If you’re trying to increase your commission, this is the number one way to do it. If you sell strictly through persuasion, you allow remorse to set in when the adrenaline wears off. You want to look after their best interests just as much as your own. Mistakes and pitfalls in sales happen. For Bob, the times where he has let his emotions get to him are the hardest. In the end, you have to own up to foolish mistakes or risk throwing away entire relationships and opportunities. When he thinks too much or worries, it can get in the way of effective sales practices. It’s about staying authentic to yourself and not be the sleazy salesperson people expect. When you lose money, you don’t want to make the mistake twice. LINKS Connect with Bob on Facebook and Linked in: Bob Lantelme
Entrepreneurship often manifests at a young age, and for Bob Kort, President of Kort Builders, the entrepreneurial bug bit him as a young boy watching his father run a pizza business. Today, Bob owns several businesses in central Indiana from restaurants like The District Tap to construction companies like Kort Builders. How do you succeed as an entrepreneur? For Bob, it comes down to two words: Trust and Loyalty. On Make My People Better, Bob talks to Kyle DeFur and Gretchen Schott about the importance of building a better culture, and the integrity that comes with following through on your word.
While personal growth is incredibly important for moving our careers and ourselves forward, it is not something that happens on its own. We need to set time aside to be intentional about our growth! Today's guest is Bob Doyle, President and CEO of the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA), and he joins us on the show to talk about how he is investing in his personal growth. We begin our conversation with the idea that everybody wants to grow and get better and our intention to discuss how we can actually accomplish that. Bob has a whole list of personal habits and areas that he is trying to improve on, many of which fall into the category of what are conventionally called soft skills. For Bob, soft skills are so important for success that they might better be reframed as 'success skills.' We dive into Bob's morning routine, hearing him talk about how he begins the day with journaling and gratitude. We zoom into the importance of these two practices, highlighting the idea that journaling can help us to be more reflective and shift our mindsets towards becoming more grateful for challenges because they are often what make us grow the most! Bob shares a great quote about approaching self-improvement in baby steps, and then we dive into an exchange about how we can rethink 2020 as a year that encouraged growth in all of us. Toward the end of our conversation, Bob shares his current intention of becoming a better listener – a more active and empathetic listener. We explore how much people appreciate being heard and how listening well can make you a better leader and human being.

“November Spawned A Monster" The Monster is back. And boy, do we need them. After a nearly 16 year hiatus, Thelonious Monster have roared back with one of the best albums of 2020. Oh That Monster is a staggering return to form for Bob Forrest and his band of merry men. Not only is he one of the best songwriters on the planet, he’s one of the coolest guys to talk to. In this discursive, tangential and oddly linear chat, Bob talks to Alex about Joe Strummer, Donald Trump and racism in the home. They also talk about socioeconomics, Lou Reed and The Replacements and Bob recounts a story where he had a fistfight with Axl Rose and it did not end well. For Bob. In addition to his work with Thelonious Monster, Bob Forrest has put out several solo albums, as well as an album under the name The Bicycle thief. Additionally, he was a drug counselor on "Celebrity Rehab" and "Sober House," he put out the memoir Running With Monsters, he hosts the "Rehab Bob" podcast and “This Life" with Dr Drew and he co-founded Hollywood Recovery Services with Shelly Sprague. Bob Forest is an eternal punk. He’s the real deal. And once you start talking to him, you wish it would never end. And part of that is his attitude, part of that comes from the stories he tells from the life he’s lived, but most of that comes from the fact that he’s one of the most genuine people on this planet. And he reminds you that humanity is a beautiful, beautiful thing.
Have you ever experienced a wake-up call? Usually, when we get a wake-up call, it spurns us to make life changes such as eating habits, exercise or moral convictions. For Bob (in this movie clip,) the wake-up call made him realize what was truly important in his life: his passion. Abram had a wake-up call too and Jonathan explains in this episode of our Genesis series. Enjoy! Did you enjoy our podcast?

Middle Market Mergers and Acquisitions by Colonnade Advisors
Due diligence is a crucial component of any M&A transaction. In this episode, Gina Cocking and Jeff Guylay discuss the second topic in our due diligence series--legal due diligence. Jeff is joined by featured guest, Will Turner, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson, to discuss lessons learned and pitfalls that sellers can avoid as they think about getting ready to go to market, from a legal due diligence perspective. Later in the episode, Gina is joined by our second featured guest, Rob Humble, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development at IAS, who shares his insights as a buyer on legal issues that arise in diligence. This episode is one of four on M&A due diligence. Episodes 003 focuses on business due diligence, and later episodes will focus on accounting and technology diligence. Show Notes: Jeff Guylay talks about legal due diligence being a sub-set of the broader due diligence process and recaps why diligence is conducted – to thoroughly understand the company to best position it in the market and to prepare the company for buyer and investor diligence (00.38) Gina Cocking talks about the different legal groups involved in a transaction, including corporate M&A attorneys, corporate contract attorneys, employment attorneys, litigation attorneys, regulatory attorneys, and tax attorneys (02:29) Jeff and Gina discuss the importance of hiring a good law firm in a transaction (03:34) Gina outlines what the law firms are reviewing during diligence, including contracts, formation documents, shareholder documentation, employment agreements, applications and licenses (04:42) Jeff comments that the legal diligence process is like a house cleaning exercise. There are instances in which licensees or ways of doing business historically may not make sense going forward (06:16) Gina talks about the importance of having attorneys review materials years before going to market. It is good business hygiene (09:04) Jeff discusses the role of a financial advisor in the legal review. Financial advisors are not attorneys but will coordinate the assembly of information, generally via massive Excel trackers, and ultimately securely disseminate information. Over a thousand documents are collected during typical legal diligence, and all get captured in an electronic data room (09:20) Gina discusses the importance of having a good legal tracker (11:15) Jeff talks about how litigation is inevitable in the corporate world and how keeping track of the details of each incident is important as it demonstrates transparency and organization (12:54) Gina talks about how legal issues may impact company valuation (14:16) Gina and Jeff discuss how a business that litigates aggressively might be perceived negatively as some people shy away from folks that are quick to sue (14:52) Jeff discusses background checks (15:43) Will Turner, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson, joins the show and talks about lessons learned or pitfalls that sellers can avoid as they think about getting ready to go to market from a legal due diligence perspective. One important concept is to provide all information upfront to avoid surprises. The second is identifying who within your management and employee group is a source for valuable information about the company and including them in the process if possible (17:40) Rob Humble, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development at IAS, joins the show to share his thoughts as a buyer on legal issues that arise in diligence. For Bob, a big concern is the trend in legal activities (21:21) Rob talks about how an ongoing legal situation with financial implications could very well have an impact on valuation (21:48) Gina’s closing thoughts on today's discussion on legal diligence: The three key takeaways are, 1) it is never too early to get your attorney involved to prep for diligence; 2) legal issues will not necessarily kill the deal, but should be addressed early; and 3) sellers need to know where the bodies are buried and need to discuss the issues with their advisors upfront (22:35) Featured guests bio and contact information: Rob Humble Email: rhumble@iasdirect.com Rob Humble leads strategy and corporate development for IAS. Before coming to IAS, Rob held strategy and corporate development leadership roles with financial services firms NetSpend and Rent-A-Center.

Everyone loves throwing around the word “experience.” Buyer, employee, customer, insert-anything-here experience... Is it a platitude? How do you actually make sure you put experience at the forefront of what you do?

For Bob, experience is the whole context of an individual's life and what they actually care about — and how we interact with this holistic view of the user. In today's episode, Bob covers: - Why the internet is transforming our lives again - How companies big and small are innovating through this crisis - The biggest mistake to avoid in uncertain times Check out the resource we mentioned during the podcast: https://b2b.itstheusers.com/ This blogpost includes highlights of our podcast interview with Bob Berry, Principal User Experience Researcher at AnswerLab.

Uncle Bob (Robert C. Martin) has been a coder since 1970, co-founder of cleancoders.com, founder of Uncle Bob Consulting LLC, Master Craftsman at 8th Light Inc, and author of the book Clean Agile. Bob and Chuck start by discussing whether or not there has been a decline in Agile in recent years. Bob does not believe that agile is declining, but rather that because the number of programmers grows so quickly, Agile has become diluted. Bob describes what it was like to be at Snowbird writing the Agile Manifesto. He describes it as one of those rare times where a meeting actually produces something. For Bob, Agile is extreme programming, and they talk about how he came up with the idea for Agile. He talks about the principles in Agile match the principles in extreme programming. They discuss some of the dangers of cherrypicking the Agile method. They talk about what kind of data comes out of agile practices and the importance of analyzing the data and responding properly. The essence of keeping the engineering under control is the essence of any team so that you can maintain and clean and improve the code. He and Chuck talk about other things that teams should be doing to maintain the quality, readability, and maintainability of their code. This includes things like communicating the structure of the code throughout the team, code reviews, and pair programming. They talk about the element of courage required to make consequential decisions at the last moment. The show concludes with Chuck and Bob discussing how to get a team started with Agile methods and Bob talking about his book Clean Agile.

Bob Loeffler takes you through his steps that lead to closing many real estate deals. Bob Loeffler, The Real Estate Sales Expert got into real estate 30 years ago, when mortgage rates were 15% and the average market time for listings in his area was over a year. Propelled by his positive attitude, he eagerly devoured all the industry and company training he could fine. He took extra classes and worked extremely hard … and still failed miserably. Then, after five years of poverty-level earning and frustration, he turned his real estate career around with a unique sales strategy. Focusing on this simple business plan, in just 90 days Bob generated 50 Listings, Sales, Sold Listings and Closings. A failing associate of Bob’s also adopted this same method and generated 19 listings in that same 90 days. They then joined forces and together became the #1 Top Producing Team for Century 21 in the state of Arizona. For Bob and his partner, this turn-around success was effortless, not because they had talent, but because they finally had learned the ‘Science of Becoming a Fearless Agent’.

Have you walked down the street and seen a homeless person and thought: "they just need to get a job"? You're not alone. Bob Dalton also thought this before his well-educated, hard-working mother became homeless in 2013. It was at this time that Bob decided he needed to do something not just to help his mom, but to help the homeless. This episode is the story of how Bob founded his company Sackcloth and Ashes that gives away tens of thousands of blankets to the homeless each month. Bob is an inspiration because he has used his strengths of creativity and entrepreneurship to fighting against an injustice in the world. We talk about how he was contacted by Instagram - YES Instagram - to feature his Instagram account, gaining them 20,000 followers overnight. This launched his business to the next level. For Bob it was bigger than just selling blankets or giving blankets to shelters. It was about building a legacy of something bigger than himself. What can you do to build a legacy bigger than yourself? Listen to this episode to be inspired to grow, to work hard for something you believe in and to make the world a better place.

In our lives, we often are influenced by two things, the books we read and the people we meet. Those two things set us off in a new directions. We always have that influential person or a few in our lives that are so influential that they take us in a new direction. For Bob Cornuke, that person was Jim Irwin who had been to the moon and back and had a cathartic moment while seeing the earth from space. Their first of many expeditions started with the search for Noah’s Ark. More expeditions followed and eventually, it led him to write books. Storytelling, Bob shares, is a skill set that he’s never tapped into as a young man. He likes to encourage people to take advantage of every season of their lives and try to find those things they have buried deep inside of them. The only way of finding and tapping buried skill sets is challenging yourself and going out on a limb sometimes. For Bob, it was writing, and now he’s doing it as a profession. Watch the episode: Listen to the podcast: Tapping Buried Skill Sets: Living The Life You Were Truly Meant To Live with Bob Cornuke We have something a little unusual. I’m sitting in the living room of (http://www.baseinstitute.org/) . Bob, it’s a lovely day in Colorado. Thanks for the hospitality. Thanks for having me on your podcast. We’re sitting in the living room. I have a buffalo head behind me with a Sharps ‘52 carried by one of Bob’s family members or built by Bob’s family members. Actually, I’m the great, great grandson of Christian Sharps. If you saw Quigley Down Under, that’s a Sharp rifle, a true grit. I am the great, great grandson of Christian Sharps. I’ll make sure I behave. Behave yourself. We’re sitting here, we have this beautiful day. We’re overlooking a pond and part of a golf course. I’m going to take in, go off-grid, and let you explore and talk to some of the folks about what it is that you do and what gets you going down this path. It’s certainly not a place I’d ever expect to go to in my life. Early on, I received a football scholarship at Fresno State early on, and then had a real desire to be in law enforcement. After college, I got involved with the Costa Mesa Police Department. I was about ten years on the department and an FBI-trained homicide investigator for the department. Then I got in a bad shoot out and the man died. I came out here to Colorado and was doing some fly fishing with my brother, Paul Cornuke, and he was an air traffic controller out here. I fell in love with Colorado immediately. From LA and Orange County and the traffic, and especially after the shooting, I said, “I’ve had a nice experience in law enforcement and I’m seeing all the older guys straining to retirement, not liking the job, and complaining about everything.” I didn’t want to be that. I thought it was a good time to step away from law enforcement and try some new challenges in life. I came out to Colorado and I got involved with real estate development and within a few years I had 125 employees in three offices and made partnership with my brother Paul. He left air traffic control. To date, he’s very successful in real estate. He has 1,900 employees now in Florida. He’s doing quite well. We got into real estate, did well together, a good partnership, and meshed really well, but during that process, I met a man named Jim Irwin, who is the eighth man to walk on the moon, the first one to drive the car on the moon. In our lives, we often are influenced by two things. The two main things are the books we read and the people we meet. Those two things set us off in a new direction, and we always have that influential person or a few in our lives that are so influential that they take this in a new direction. Jim had been to the moon and when he came back, he had a real desire to go find lost locations in the Bible of all things. He
Cass Midgley and Dr. Bob Pondillo bring you a very special episode. This is Bob's last show as co-host. Bob chose the theme of today's episode: death--the most awkward subject and conversation there is. Bob and Cass discuss the Seneca book for about an hour and a half then a 4 minute clip by Caleb Wilde's Tedtalk followed by a 30 minute reading of an article by Eric Puchner, then Bob and I interview Anne-Marie Zanzal, a Hospice worker with end of life experience, and end with a 6 minute playing of your voice mail farewells to Bob. For Bob's last episode, he wanted to talk about death and I think it's appropo. For weeks prior to the taping of this episode he'd been reading a book titled, "How to Die: An Ancient Guide to the End of Life." It's the ponderings of the 1st century philosopher, Seneca, edited, translated, and introduced by James S. Romm. "It takes an entire lifetime to learn how to die," wrote the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC–65 AD). He counseled readers to "study death always," and took his own advice, returning to the subject again and again in all his writings. Seneca believed that life is only a journey toward death and that one must rehearse for death throughout life. In his writings, he tells us how to practice for death, how to die well, and how to understand the role of a good death in a good life. He stresses the universality of death, its importance as life's final rite of passage, and its ability to liberate us from pain, slavery, or political oppression. Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death “The irony of the human condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.” Seneca admonishes us to study how to die. 6th generation mortician, Caleb Wilde infers that we are death amateurs, and Ernest Becker says we kick and scratch to subdue the notion that we're ever going to die. Perhaps the greatest application of the adage, "say yes to what is" applies to this--the great leveler, that which we all have in common, and that is our impending, unavoidable death. We taped this conversation on May 26th, 2018. We interview people you don’t know, about a subject no one wants to talk about. We hope to encourage people in the process of deconstructing their faith and help curb the loneliness that accompanies it. We think the world is a better place when more people live by sight, not by faith. Please subscribe to our podcast, and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

Bob Carr at 15 knew he wanted to make a name for himself, he knew he wanted to be a politician. He puts forward the notion that "to succeed you must be loyal to the nightmare of your choices" and for him it has obviously paid off - big time! Bob gave politics a good run and he won. For Bob, setbacks became an invitation to do more, it served as a drive to put in more effort. The Vedas have taught me that one must do their work with courageous and positive energy (shakti) no matter how trivial, for the outcome does not matter anywhere near as much as the doing. To die doing your your duty and to advance your purpose in life, no matter how unwell you do it, is to have lived, working on someone else's purpose no matter how well you do, is death."If only then I know what I know now" - Bob Carr.One of the beautiful things about life is making mistakes. Learning from a mistake, rather than being consumed by it. But you have to be able to look at yourself and be prepared to have a hard talk to yourself, smack yourself if you must so the mistakes are not repeated over and over. You must be prepared to rewire yourself to do things the right way. For anything else is insanity that will bring about a self-defeating mindset which will punish you over and over again. Rise Warrior.Bob found it is easy to do the pressing stuff that forms the norm of everyday work, what he found hard is meditation. Bob believes in the notion of continuous learning, hence his desire to learn meditation. We talk about what makes a good leader. This man should know, he started from humble beginnings and went on to shape not only State politics as the longest serving NSW Premier but also held the role of Australian Foreign Minister. Like him or not, all leaders need to pay attention to Bob, especially those aspiring to lead masses of people. Life is a learning experience. Leaders ought to see their life as a trajectory of learning. The challenge of walking into a room and becoming interested in other people - it's easy when you have an approach where you feel that from each person you meet your can learn something. It makes life interesting as you become interested in others. Bob believes and I agree, that people who are defeated by life are people who are not passionate about learning.Fear of Failure is what made this public leader demand more from himself.At a time of an election, Bob was being said to quite possibly become the best Premier we never had. Experts said he would never win. He was behind in polls and written off. At this point in life he made a decision the bulk of the world will fail at; to acknowledge the current unfavourable situation and still give it your best! He simply said to himself that "Should I be defeated I want it to be said that I could not have done any more." Bob says that it is wise to accept when you are in a hell of a position and come out fighting as a warrior." Rise Warrior Rise.Virtuous men and women manifest greatness, in themselves and those their presence touches. Listen up leaders, board members as you shape your organisation culture and your individual Self. There is always a winner and loser in battle. Bob's world is straight forward, every election has a winner and a loser. If you don't achieve your goal, make a virtue of not getting bitter. If you do win, aspire to be kind. A single good deed could be enough to find you the path to heaven and a single act of bitterness or cheating could drive your reputation and company into hell.Bob has one regret - you will too if you do not learn to meditate properly. Learn from an authentic master. Bob is leaning the art of meditation as he feels that "it is an investment that makes me a better person." Bob finds it the hardest discipline to master. I showered him a couple of tips that i so often coach those who are ready to go beyond to their core of happiness. We talk about the process and I enjoyed giving a little coaching to Bob on this most important of disciplines. The earlier in life you recognise that there are four states of consciousness, the faster you will discover the art to fill the void of your soul. The key take out is it takes practice to make your mind your best friend, if you do not do so, you will never be a great leader of people or yourself as your mind will no doubt act as your worst enemy and take you to places you do not want to go. I won't point out the evidence here in this write up - if you are reading this I will assume you will find that the data is everywhere. I'll share more as Rise Warrior Rise, my book on Self Mastery comes out in September 2018.Click the video or podcast below and watch Bob give you his advice on why you must learn how to sell and debate as a master to serve your ambition and people best.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn genetic variants that are prevalent in those with chronic Lyme disease. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Bob Miller, CTN. Bob Miller, CTN is a Certified Traditional Naturopath specializing in the field of natural health, including genetic-specific nutrition, homeopathy, stress reduction, detoxification and education. He earned his naturopathic degree from Trinity School of Natural Health and is board certified. In 1993, Bob Miller opened the Tree of Life practice and he has served as a traditional naturopath for 20+ years. For the past several years, he has been engaged with genetic variants and related research. Working with many clients, he is astounded at how many peoples’ health concerns are related to the genetic issues. For Bob, following a natural approach to health is personal. It was during a personal health crisis in 1993 that Bob experienced first-hand the profound effects of natural remedies as a solution to regain his health. His passion to help others and to learn more catapulted his desire to obtain knowledge in the natural health and wellness field. He is committed to educating others, empowering them to have more control over their health care and their lives. He feels the naturopathic philosophies of working with the mind, body and spirit in a natural approach to be the best way to help others. Recognizing that there was not a nutritional supplement line on the market comprehensive enough to address all of the possible genetic variants, he began working with a national company, Professional Health Products, to formulate an Epigenetics line of products for use by health care providers. Bob lectures at nationwide seminars to educate physicians and health care practitioners about genetic variants and nutritional supplementation for achieving optimal health, and has created an online certification course in genetic nutrition for health professionals. He has created a propriety software program, MethylGenetic Nutritional AnalysisTM , which he uses in his practice to assess, analyze and design support for his clients based upon their personal genetics, lab work and presenting symptoms. To support his growing genetic research efforts, Bob founded the NutriGenetic Research Institute in 2015 to research and publish reports on the relationship between genetic variants and labs and presenting symptoms. His first research project on genetic variants and Lyme disease won an award for research at the International Lyme Conference held in Helsinki, Finland in June 2016. Key Takeaways: - What genetic patterns are more common in those with Lyme disease as compared to the 1000 Genomes Project. - Are today's health challenges more of a genetic issue or an epigenetic issue? - Why is supporting methylation not always a good idea? - Which genes impact iron absorption at higher levels in Lyme patients and lead to hydroxyl radical production? - What are KEAP1 and Nrf2 and how do variants in these genes lead to some of the sickest patients? - What is MTOR and autophagy and how do we shift these to be more supportive of improved health? - When are things like vitamin C, ozone, glutathione, NAC, glutamine, GABA, and arginine potentially not a good idea? - What tools can we use to mitigate these issues?
