Podcasts about fort stockton

When tonight's guest, Chris Tucker, was growing up, near the outskirts of Fort Stockton, Texas, her grandmother used to warn her not to go out after dark because if she did El Lobo would get her. El Lobo translates to “the wolf” in the English language. At first glance, that would seem like a scare tactic by Chris' grandmother to keep Chris from wanting to leave the house after dark. If you listen to tonight's show, however, you'll probably come to the realization that Chris' grandmother just might have been sincere, when she gave her that warning. After what happened to Chris one night, when she was taking out the trash, she came to take her grandmother's warning very seriously.  If you listen to tonight's show, you'll understand why.If you've had a Dogman encounter and need help or would like to be a guest on the show, please go to https://DogmanEncounters.com and submit a report.

In areas with high intermittent renewable energy sources, high rates of curtailment pose a significant challenge. In efforts to avoid this, different methods can be deployed. Battery storage is just one option for utilising excess energy, but in the right location, Bitcoin mining can be an alternative avenue to support grid resilience and capitalize on excess energy. What does the crossover of Bitcoin and energy storage look like at present, and in the future?In this episode, CEO at Cormint, Jamie McAvity, joins Quentin to discuss bitcoin mining and the intersections with the energy system.

This is the weekly newspaper columnTexas wine AVAs episode #2 10-11-2023Texas wine facts: Texas is the fifth-largest winemaking state, behind California, Washington, New York, and Oregon. And Texas wine is No. 3 in economic impact, just behind California and New York. Both rankings according to the National Association of American Wineries.There are eight Texas AVAs (American Viticultural Regions). Last week we examined three around Fredericksburg, this week the remaining five.• Texas High Plains. Heart of the Texas wine grape growing, a monster AVA spanning eight million acres of the Texas Panhandle, basically from Lubbock to Brownfield. Grows 80-plus percent of Texas wine grapes, supplying wineries across Texas and beyond. Located on the Llano Estacado, one of Earth's flattest expanses. First thought—how could this be?Topography. The elevation is 2,800 to more than 4,000 feet. It is called the “High Plains” for a reason. Such elevations include some of the world's premier wine regions, especially in the Americas—think Chile and Argentina. Climate is dry, but there is irrigation. Sandy loam soil drains well and vexes phylloxera. Brisk winds thwart mildew. Plunging nighttime temperatures deliver important diurnal shift. That is a textbook definition of a wine grape region.• Escondido Valley. Far West Texas, just north of the Big Bend. Covers 50 square miles, 250 acres of vineyards. Contains some of the oldest vines in Texas, provides hot days, cold nights, sandy soil. It once supplied grapes to the huge Ste. Genevieve Winery in Fort Stockton, but that enterprise folded. Now supplies grapes to the rest of Texas.• Mesilla Valley. West of El Paso, includes part of New Mexico. There are 40 acres of vines that benefit from the 4,300 feet altitude; most of the vines are in New Mexico.• Texas Davis Mountains. The Davis Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountains, are rugged and deliver 5,400 foot elevations, cooler temperatures, and more precipitation. Challenges, yes. Rewards, yes. The AVA is some 270,000 acres, but less than 50 acres of vineyards. The new frontier of Texas AVAs. Look for Blue Mountain Vineyard and Chateau Wright offerings.• Texoma. The newest Texas AVA spans 3,650 square miles north of Dallas-Fort Worth and hugs the Texas-Oklahoma border, including Lake Texoma, from which it gets its name. More than a dozen wineries are based there, with tourism and events driving a major part of the operation, similar to the wineries and tasting rooms in the Texas Hill Country AVA.Texas wine.

Pastor Vic Lopez from People Church in Fort Stockton, Texas brings us a powerful word from God about Peter in the Bible and how when he got out of the boat and walked on water, he actually walked out of his community and was disobedient to Jesus. The boat in this story represents the church. The farther away you get from the boat, or church, the more your faith shrinks and decreases. Jesus designed us for community and to stay in our community and worship together. The real test of our faith is if we're able to stay where He told you to stay. Do you have staying power?

Pastor Vic Lopez from People Church in Fort Stockton, Texas talks to us about why it is so important for us to move forward from the dead things in our past. If we are not over these things, we will continue to carry them instead of experiencing the abundant life Jesus promised to us. Our lives are not about our pursuit of Jesus, but His pursuit of us. We have to meet Jesus where he is, He cannot touch what we are not willing to surrender. Jesus is saying 'Come Here' to us. What things in our lives do we need to get over?

Schuyler Wight is a fourth-generation rancher who has raised cattle near Fort Stockton for decades. Now he's fighting a battle he did not create. Scattered across his sprawling 20,000-acre ranch are more than 100 abandoned oil and gas wells left behind by oil and gas companies. Water is now bubbling up from these abandoned oil wells and is polluting Wight's pasture and killing his cows. Abandoned “dry hole” oil wells are polluting Texas farms, ranches and groundwater. The state and the oil and gas industry won't fix them. Wildcatters drilled in random locations for decades looking for oil. Many were unsuccessful, but the drilling opened up layers of porous rock, which led to water and pollutants such as benzene and xylene, both carcinogens, flowing to the surface. Rather than cap the holes, the wildcatters and their oil companies — now long gone — often abandoned the wells or transferred ownership of unproductive wells to the previous owners of Wight's ranch to be used as water wells. The pollution from the wells is killing cattle and ruining pastures, as well as harming the groundwater of West Texas. Texas faces many water issues including groundwater pollution, aging infrastructure, drought, flooding, and population growth. Larry discusses these and many other topics related to Texas water with Schuyler Wight.

BE SURE TO SEE THE SHOWNOTES AND LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE HERE Eve Picker: [00:00:11] Hi there, thanks for joining me on Rethink Real Estate. I'm on a mission to make real estate work for everyone. Real estate can help to solve climate change, can house people affordably, can create beautiful streetscapes, unify neighborhoods and enliven cities. So, I'm on a journey to find the most creative thinkers and doers out there. I'm not the only one who wants to rethink real estate. You can learn more about me at EvePicker.com or you can find me at SmallChange.co, a real estate crowdfunding platform with impact real estate investment opportunities open for investment right now. And if you want to support this podcast, join me at Patreon.com/rethinkrealestate, where there are special opportunities for my friends and followers.   Eve: [00:01:10] Today, I'm talking with Andy Williams, the founder of Recon Realty, amongst other things. Andy was a Marine determined to better his life through real estate. In a fairly short period of time, he built a substantial portfolio of homes, a real estate development business focused on larger projects, and a program that seeks to turn veterans into entrepreneurs just like Andy. While Recon Realty is focused on making a profit, Andy's heart is in the impact. The question for him is, how can he use real estate to turn transitioning veterans into entrepreneurs so that they too can turn a profit? Patriots need to start buying up America, he says. I'm going to learn a lot from Andy and so might you. So listen in. If you'd like to join me in my quest to rethink real estate, there are two simple things you can do. Share this podcast or go to Patreon.com/rethinkrealestate to learn about special opportunities for my friends and followers and subscribe if you can.   Eve: [00:02:42] Hello, Andy, thanks so much for joining me today.   Andy Williams: [00:02:46] Oh, it's a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me.   Eve: [00:02:49] So you've gone from being a U.S. Marine to a real estate developer to impact entrepreneur, in a pretty short period of time. And I wanted to start by asking you how you got involved in real estate.   Andy: [00:03:03] Real estate really was a transition from private security contracting to civilian life. I was trying to build a bridge back home, so I bought my first rental property in 2006. And it was a safe investment, an easy investment and made sense. And I just kept doing it for about six years, buying rental properties in my hometown with the intent to build enough cash flow to replace my income that I was making overseas.   Eve: [00:03:38] And where is your hometown?   Andy: [00:03:41] It's in central Texas.   Eve: [00:03:42] Okay.   Andy: [00:03:42] So I'm 5th generation Texan. So...   Eve: [00:03:45] Okay.   Andy: [00:03:46] After getting back from the Marines, I made Texas my home.   Eve: [00:03:50] What did it take to purchase your first time? I mean, that's a pretty big leap from Marine to buying a house.   Andy: [00:03:58] Yeah, actually, my first house was around 50,000-dollar rental property. So it took me, I think I put 20 percent down, so it was about 8,000 dollars. And after I got out of the Marines, I'd actually save some money while I was in. And then I was making, you know, very good pay, working with the State Department, under private security contract. So, I I'd basically reinvest my my monthly salary into rental properties for about six years.   Eve: [00:04:33] Wow. So. And did you need to make these properties tenant ready? Like, I suppose I'm wondering what skills you had to learn in that transition and how you identified the right sort of properties to buy. And you know, what your plan was. What was your big strategy?   Andy: [00:04:50] I didn't have one of that time. I grew up in in this in this community that was segregated. It was there was good houses, bad houses, you know, people that were rich and there was people that was poor. There was really not a middle class. And so when I started making money, I wanted to buy properties for the underserved and provide sustainable housing. So, my dad was a concrete foreman when I was growing up. And around that time, he was he was aging out, wasn't able to do the do the work that that he had in his trade. And he was kind of out of work. So, he was kind of my eyes on the ground, and I would buy properties and he would be my project manager and he would make them ready and then we would lease them out. It was very mom and pop.   Eve: [00:05:45] That's fabulous. Yeah. Were your first houses a success or did you have any failures, any moments where you regretted what you were doing?   Andy: [00:05:57] No.  I'm very conservative and I was always I've always been an investor for the long haul. So, you know, I think I just sold last year a property that was in my portfolio for 15 years. I think some of the the fifth house I ever bought was a duplex. It's still in my portfolio. I've always looked at real estate as a as a way to kind of build wealth, but also solve a problem. And I think that's what attracted me to the affordable housing market. Because I grew up understanding that real estate and safe housing, quality housing was really a privilege that was afforded to few.   Eve: [00:06:43] Yes.   Andy: [00:06:43] And when I was in a position to, you know, do well, I wanted to do good. And so it became a safe return. It wasn't until I started trying to build an operation around it, was there risk really being assessed because I was buying really cheap properties in a market that I felt that I understood. I actually felt that it was misaligned and I wanted to play on the long haul and being well traveled as a as a veteran and seeing kind of the simplicity of being able to buy a home, you know, fix it up and rent it out and looked at the rate in the rents and the cash flow, it just made sense. But when you started to, it was it wasn't until 2012 when I came back from Iraq. At that point, I had about 50 rentals and I wanted to kind of start a business. And so I started looking at trying to integrate construction component and I started flipping houses. And that's when I started realizing that there was a different dynamic. Most of that had to do with the characters. When I started investing in the in the city, the Dallas Fort Worth area. I ran into some bad actors and not everyone did what they said. And you had to kind of have protocols in place. And so, I spent a better part of three years building some infrastructure. But I was able to kind of make some mistakes and build through those those challenges because I always held a decent sized rental portfolio, that in my mind was kind of a baseline. It was a cushion, in case you ever ran into some problems you could dump a rental and if you needed to leverage, you had cash flow coming from your rental portfolio. So, you never really was too overexposed.   Eve: [00:08:56] So how big is that portfolio? I mean, what do you think the baseline should be for people who are listening?   Andy: [00:09:03] That really depends on your goals. I mean, mine was, you know, about a five-million-dollar portfolio. And, you know, I was thinking I got it up to about 100 houses. I've scaled it down over the last three years because I hit that threshold where I didn't want to deal in that housing stock. And then also I didn't want to reinvest in the communities where I had properties. I ran into some some infrastructure challenges. My dad passed away in 2014. My mom started managing the properties and that that original portfolio really was just kind of a mom-and-pop operation and meant to be mom and pop. And once, you know, it kind of served its purpose, I divested it. And then I moved my operation to the major market and then I started building teams. And the projects I'm doing now, they're more, you know, leveraged on teams. I'm good at I'm good at certain things, certain things. You know, I'm not as strong at or passionate about. And so I leveraged my my military background to kind of build teams and into medium to large size projects that are basically what I've learned over the last five years is that, you know, good projects are are really executed with good teams and a solid project is is really effective if you can assemble the right team around it. And so I focus on team building around projects at this point. And entrepreneurially, I have a focus on, you know, capacity building and training that I actually do what I've already done. And that's more more where I'm headed in the future. We're actually rebuilding our portfolio now, but we're doing build to rent and we're we're playing in and into areas and we're focused on distressed communities that have been redlined or segregated or socially deprived of capital because of its demographic. And we're trying to get ahead of gentrification and build capacity...   Eve: [00:11:15] Right, right.   Andy: [00:11:15] And then trying to hold some properties there as we we have an input.   Eve: [00:11:19] But what a great story. Those small properties really helped you build a much, much bigger career. And that's, that's pretty valuable, right?   Andy: [00:11:31] Yeah, I think the sense is, is, you know, you make your mistakes and you learn. But I think the biggest thing that I've learned over the last three years, maybe five, is that, you know, I got started early and I was lucky because I was you know, I was advised to invest for the long haul and I wasn't looking for, you know, a quick buck. And once I figured out something that made sense and it made money and kept doing the same thing.   Eve: [00:12:01] Yeah.   Andy: [00:12:02] It's like in the military, you know, in the Special Forces community, you don't you don't really add a magic style or systems. You just kind of focus on mastering the basics. And that's that's what I did. So when I look at, you know, buying, you know, single family homes to to do renovate to rent, it's very simple. You do it once you figure out what your kind of your cost is, you know, you take a wood frame home 1950s. You got to figure out what it's going to be to get that renovated and get it turn what it's going to rent for, what your leverage is going to be. And you just rinse and repeat once you figure out how to get in there. Right. You you get it gutted. You put it back together and you throw a tenant in there. It's really should be, you know, an operation, a management issue. And you just scale up to what your capacity is. And, you know, there's a lot of liquidity in the market now, too. And so, you know, the finance vehicles that are present today weren't present 10, 15 years ago. So it's a lot easier to to really execute the scale. You know, an operation and you just got to find the right markets and the right product.   Eve: [00:13:18] Right, right, right.   Andy: [00:13:18] So you can go that down.   Eve: [00:13:20] But I've also read that you want to use real estate to turn transitioning vets into entrepreneurs. And so, you know, to help people like you do the same thing in some way. And how do you do that?   Andy: [00:13:37] A couple of years ago, I got to a point where, you know, I had some national exposure and I was able to create a conversation with the right people. So, I've always thought that and believed in the idea that America runs on capitalism and veterans were not necessarily being positioned to build sustainable businesses. We were kind of being, you know, reintegrated into corporate America. And, you know, a lot of veterans just aren't cut out, nor that they need to just go right to work. They need to figure out a passion that they can pour their energy into. And it can be project based.   Eve: [00:14:22] You know, my son is a vet, so I witnessed that firsthand. Takes away the transition. Yeah.   Andy: [00:14:29] Yeah, so funny story. There's a Marine that got me in the real estate. He was a World War II Bronze Star recipient. He fought at the Battle of Iwo Jima. And I still have some of the properties that he sold to me. But when I when I was in Iraq, I was on leave and I have seen this old frail man pulling some carpet out of this duplex. And I stopped and I asked him what he was doing and if it was his property and if he'd be willing to sell it. And, you know, gave me his number. When I got back overseas, I called, and we talked for about a month and a half and end up selling me the property. I didn't know him until he sold me actually about 30 properties, which helped me scale, but I never got to know him. He came back from World War II and he started a fencing company, and he was moving houses from Fort Stockton down to central Texas. And he he kind of had a retirement built on free and clear properties. And so I kind of followed his blueprint. But when I when I seen myself, you know, fast forward 2012, 2013, 2014. And then I get some national exposure. I just was frustrated that my peers, my friends, my fellow veterans weren't positioned right. And I just always felt America needed to do better, but I just didn't think they understood. So, I went to the Department of Labor and I sat down with them and I worked with them to create a programatic that, you know, I believe was a transition platform. And we tested it and we brought it to market. And we're now in the process of expanding that that mission. Rehab Warriors does exactly that. We teach veterans to be the average home builders and developers. The big difference is we're not telling them to come work for me or they're not vertically integrated and we're a construction company. We actually don't have them picking up tools and hammers and we don't teach them trades to work for DR Horton or Lennar. We we actually give them the principles. We show them how to model financial projects and we give them access to capital and we have them go access properties in their market.   Andy: [00:16:42] And we've got a lot of success. And that's more my passion. You know, I could flip 1000 homes in the next ten years. I could, you know, build a large rental portfolio, but that's not success for me. Success is if I can train 10,000 veterans to do what I've already done and find peace at home. Because I think the war fighter really does deserve to own part of the country by which it served. And the other way, I think that we're going to be able to to be able to do that, you know, truthfully is to buy at a discount, create the value and rebuild the infrastructure. And that's why we have a huge emphasis on affordable housing in distress zones. We teach these veterans, and we redirect their energies and efforts into their communities. And they're finding properties and they're having a lot of success. And naturally, they're building teams. But more importantly, they're local to their community and they're solving problems in their local community and they're finding their passion. And America's better for it, you know, I'm better for it. And and America is getting a new breed of developer that I believe it deserves.   Eve: [00:17:53] So tell me about some of these success stories. Like it sounds like you're sort of starting out on this journey. How many vets have you trained? How many have been successful? What does it look like so far?   Andy: [00:18:05] So we have 100 percent success rate. And, you know, we we probably supported about 100 veterans. So far through the training, we have about 50 on the platform we're going to roll out, which we're still early stage because I focused on making sure that we had 100 percent success and then tooling it down to where the veterans wanted to be. But we had a military veteran perfect case study. Female veteran, you know, started a minority owned business right inside the community that she was discharged from. And you know, she she got into, you know, our community back in June 2020. We helped source and identify the right property by August, matched her up with a local banker. She was able to access, you know, very competitive financing. We try not to play in the hard money space. We don't play in the private money space. We really have a position. We want proper capital to execute these projects. And so access to capital was something that I emphasized the last year and a half, two years. But she just finished her project, took her 90 days, bought a working home, took it apart, put it together. And, you know, she she ran into some some contractor issues, which is mostly...   Eve: [00:19:24] Pretty normal.   Andy: [00:19:26] Yeah. And that's where we really emphasize the support is we, anyone can show you how to find a property, anyone can show you how to model, and anyone can show you where the money is. What we do is we build a community where we help walk you through it. Because we want you to be successful, because if you get you get through one property, you're going to continue on the journey. So, we help navigate the contractor issues. And she ended up completing a beautiful rehab and set on the market. She got a full price offer and she closed and she made, she made money. She made a lot of money.   Eve: [00:20:04] Good for her.   Andy: [00:20:06] It wasn't the money, though, that that was motivating. It was the fact that she she got through it and she was able to, you know, less than one mile from the gate that she left and discharged. She was able to reintegrate successfully. And she chose our program over any of the any of the programs that the military had. And so we have a waiting list. So, you know, there's a lot of veterans that that are on the waiting list. We're building out the infrastructure. But right now, as a founder, I'm kind of putting the culture in place.   Eve: [00:20:36] Yeah, yeah.   Andy: [00:20:37] The market, it's really, it's really hot right now. And I don't want to send a bunch of veterans into the communities right now to go buy, because really, you shouldn't be flipping houses in markets that are kind of peaking. And most of the market shifted to new construction. We do teach home building. And then as for myself, I shifted to developments. And I think, you know, we're being disciplined right, and we're trying to, we're waiting for the dip and then we're going to assemble and deploy. But in the meantime, we're putting the training wheels on and we're putting them, the people through the program so that they can execute. And more importantly, we we're building the culture where we want to we want to put the community first, yield second and we want to serve.   Eve: [00:21:22] Right. So, like, just generally, what are some of the challenges you've been confronted with? Because you've come a long way from your roots. There must have been financing challenges and, you know, neighborhood complaints. And I don't know what else. You know, aside from the contractor challenges which are always there.   Andy: [00:21:44] Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, let's take it down because, you know, my my smallest project we just put on the market, you know, 150,000-dollar rehab that we threw up. We bought it for 60, put 70 into it and you know, turned the market to a little affordable house that we could have tore down and rebuilt. But we wanted to connect with the community. But in that same neighborhood, we got 13 acres and a contract where we're going to throw up a tax credit investment. Low-income housing tax credit, portable housing, you know, three story corner unit, garden style apartment. And really, it's the challenges we've navigated, you know, so far has been just understanding what, while we're there and what we're doing. I don't really see real estate as complex as some people. I mean, the financing is is very intricate to the project. And I've been very, you know, focused on going downstream. You know, there's a lot of private capital out there, financial institutions, you know, there's crowdfunding platforms. But my focus has been really I want the federal allocation. You know, there's trillions of dollars spent on affordable housing. So, you know, I'm going to go get the money that, you know, is best suited and effective at modeling out.   Eve: [00:23:09] Um hmm.   Andy: [00:23:09]  I'm on the State Board of Affordable Housing. And so, I have some some initiatives and I'm pushing at the state level here in Texas. And we're executing beautifully the model and we're navigating the challenges. But what's happened with the approach for the overall mission is that I'm allowing organizations to align, that they really see the big picture, going to help me move the needle forward. And that's how we're creating progress. Because it's, we're solving the real problem.   Eve: [00:23:45] Um hmm. So one final question. What's what's next for you? It doesn't sound like you stay in one place too long.   Andy: [00:23:53] Yeah, I think what's next is just keep doing what I'm doing. I'm really focused on Rehab Warriors. We just got done redeveloping and rezoning a large tract that we're going to we're going. To have a seven-year commitment to the city where we're going to end up building 500 single family homes.   Eve: [00:24:16] Wow.   Andy: [00:24:16] Over 100 build to rent single family homes and town homes. And we got a multi-family affordable housing project, a single-family affordable housing project and some retail. So that was kind of my case study. We picked up some land, brought it to an RP from HUD and my development team and I'm a I'm a I'm a small part of the development team, but a big part of the mission. We're able to work with the city and this small community that didn't really have the right developers supporting them. And we came in and we put together this master plan.   Eve: [00:24:54] Um hmm.   Andy: [00:24:54] And, you know, the by-product of it is we're going to continue to serve the community. And my goal is to just close the loop between the size of projects I'm doing in the in the single-family homes that actually have a passion for capacity building for the veterans. Because I really believe that the veterans have, in my mind, the ability to not just reintegrate, but safely land inside America's housing market and solve a real critical problem. Because we have an affordable housing crisis across the country. We have a lot of skilled trades and unskilled trades gap, but everyone sees that as the problem. Right. But it's the opportunity for me because I see the problem is I got 250,000 more fighters coming home every year and they're trying to figure out what's next. And I'm just going to give them a very focused target. That just go and do this and you'll find not just peace of mind but purpose. And if you do it right, you execute and you end up economically mobile, which is the end state. Because if we can, you know, help our war fighters come back home and have economic mobility in America, we're better off. And so that's my mission to improve America's housing stock by, you know, reintegrating veterans, but doing it in a way where we're winning and we're ushering them into a conscious capitalist community.   Eve: [00:26:27] It's an honorable goal and a really big one. And I really hope you'll be incredibly successful at it and I thank you very much for taking the time to talk to me today.   Andy: [00:26:38] Yeah, it's a pleasure. And you've done some great work. And, you know, I think your platform is also, you know, an option. And I think I love what you're doing because, you know, you're democratizing access to great projects with great operators.   Eve: [00:26:55] Yeah.   Andy: [00:26:56] It's needed. I think everyone wants to be a part of, you know, the change. And I think that this is just one area. You know, my goal is just to capacity build, build operators so they see this is a focus. So, it was a pleasure. And I keep doing the good work.   Eve: [00:27:14] Yeah. Yeah. No, Andy, I want to say I think I mean, I think, you know, I've always been horrified at how vets have been treated when they leave the military and having seen the sort of support that they get inside before they leave. It's it's not it doesn't seem to be the right sort of support. So, I think what you're doing is fantastic. Just keep going.   Andy: [00:27:38] Yes. I appreciate it and you as well. Thank you for having me.   Eve: [00:27:42] Okay, bye.   Andy: [00:27:50] Bye, bye.   Eve: [00:27:50] That was Andy Williams. He's a self-made real estate mogul with a heart. He's passing on what he's learned to other vets just like him, so that they, too, can participate in the wealth this country has to offer. It doesn't matter how much money you have, it's whether you're solving a problem. Andy says, I want to show the world that entrepreneurs like me can exist.

The Tornado Trackers recount filming a tornado in Fort Stockton, TX on May 17, 2019 during what became the perfect storm chase. On a day where most storm chasers targeted the McCook, Nebraska tornado, Jeff and Gabe were forced to stay close to home and target SW Texas. A slow-moving supercell provided a little bit of everything, from giant hail to incredible storm structure, to a nearly stationary tornado. Everything lined up to create an epic and memorable chase day (except for when Gabe was almost killed by lightning).Tornado Trackers Twitter | Instagram | YouTube Ft.

Only one Val Verde Winery, founded in 1883, survived. It had a pass to make sacramental wine during prohibition and is still operating today in Del Rio.After Prohibition (1920–1933), it took a long time for the Texas wine industry to get going again. Llano Estacado was founded in 1976. And then finally, the modern Texas wine industry took off.Texas is now the 5th largest wine producing state and has around 400 wineries.There are 8 AVAs, or American viticultural areas, in Texas.The Texas High Plains AVA is where about 80% of the grapes in Texas wines are grown. It’s in the northwest part of the state near the city of Lubbock. The Plains are flat, but they are indeed high. this could be considered high altitude grape growing. The vineyards sit at about 3300–4000 feet on well drained, clay loam and sandy loam soil. There is a big diurnal shift here. That means there’s a big temperature change from day to night. the cool nights help preserve the grape’s acidity. Many of the grape growers in this area are generational farmers of other crops and have diversified into planting grapes. The biggest challenges here are freezing temperatures – usually in the late spring after budbreak, but possible in the fall too – and hail. Irrigation is a must.The Texas Hill Country AVA is located in the center of the state is north of San Antonio and west of Austin. It’s the largest AVA in Texas and the THIRD largest AVA in the country*, covering 9 million acres. The vineyards here are generally smaller in acreage than those in the Texas High Plains. They sit on a variety of soil types including limestone, granite and clay. Pierce’s disease is a bigger problem here than in the High Plains. It’s a bit less likely to see the freezes and hail that the High Plains gets. It’s also at a much lower elevation, and the warmer temperatures put its growing season ahead by a few weeks compared to the High Plains. Within the Hill Country AVA you’ll find two sub-AVAs that are nested inside the larger AVA. These are the Bell Mountain AVA (the oldest in the state) and Fredericksburg AVA.There are about 80 wineries in the Texas Hill Country, and the center of this area is the town of Fredericksburg. It’s the second most visited wine region in the nation after Napa Valley.The Texas Davis Mountains AVA is one to watch. It’s FAR out in the desert of west Texas near Marfa. It’s the highest elevation AVA in the state with vineyards over 5500’ elevation and it’s also the coolest. It’s also got the only volcanic soil in the state.The other AVAs are Escondido Valley. It’s located far west Texas near Fort Stockton.Texoma AVA is along the Texas-Oklahoma border.Finally, the Mesilla Valley AVA is on the far western tip of Texas near El Paso. This AVA is shared with New Mexico.There are also many fine wineries that are outside of these AVAs, and their wines are simply labeled TEXAS. (To clarify, their estate vineyards are not located within an AVA.)Early on, Texas consumers wanted the international varieties that they were drinking from California like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot so that’s what Texas grape growers planted. Now, many of these early plantings are being changed over to more of the grape varieties that thrive in the warmer climates of the Mediterranean. Texas grows a very wide variety of grapes and has over 5000 acres of bearable grapevines. Its most planted red grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Merlot and the most planted white grapes are Blanc du Bois, Viognier, and Muscat Canelli. Production is about 70% red wine and 30% white wine.Hybrid grape varieties like Blanc du bois and black Spanish are popular in the southeast part of the state where humidity makes Pierce’s disease a persistent problem.Texas Tempranillo has a great reputation, as does Texas Viognier. Mourvedré is coming on strong. Rosé is very popular. Off-dry and sweet wine is popular with some Texas wine drinkers, but the majority of what is produced is dry. Texas also makes some great Port-style wine, and a bit of sparkling wine.In 2013, the Texas High Plains experienced a devastating late spring freeze, so there the volume of Texas wine produced suffered. 2014 was much better, but not ideal. Since 2015, Mother Nature has mostly cooperated. 2015 and 2017 were especially great vintages. The Texas High Plains had a Halloween freeze in 2019, so the 2020 vintage is looking sparse for some growers.Now that Texas growers have focused in on the right grapes for the right vineyards for our Texas climate, Texas wine has gotten much better. There’s increasing level of winemaking talent in the state, some homegrown, and some transplanted from other parts of the world. Some winemakers in Texas utilize the latest cutting-edge technology to maximize extraction. Others adopt a zero-zero non-interventional approach. There’s not just one right way to do things around here.One issue that is sure to come up again in 2021 when the state legislature reconvenes is how Texas wine is labeled. Like 46 other states, Texas wine is only required to have 75% Texas fruit in it. The states with the more developed wine industries have all passed more stringent legislation, and this issue has come before the state legislature before in 2017 and 2019.The largest winery in Texas is St Genevieve winery located in Fort Stockton. They make extremely affordable wine, often in large format bottles. The second largest winery is Llano Estacado located in Lubbock.Most of the wine produced in Texas stays in the state. Although there are some wines that are available in wider distribution, many are not. Most wineries do ship outside the state.Texans drank just over 60 million gallons of wine in 2018 and produced 4.28 million gallons of Texas wine. So we are well short of producing the amount of wine we need to produce to meet the demand of our own state. For now, we will have to keep drinking non-Texas wine.Texas wineries have always been serious about showing guests a great time. But at some wineries, the wine was a bit of an afterthought. In the past 15 years or so, many Texas wineries have also gotten as serious about premium wine as they are about hospitality.Wineries are entering well regarded wine competitions, and Texas wines are winning. Sommeliers are taking an interest in Texas wines, and more wines are entering distribution outside the state. Texas restaurants are coming around, finally adding Texas options to wine lists.Wine is a big business in Texas, responsible for over 100,000 jobs and a $13.1 billion dollar economic impact.Texas is an exciting wine region with a pioneering spirit. The wines just keep getting better. I hope you’re drinking Texas wine along with me.*Note: It is often reported that the Texas Hill Coutry is the second largest AVA, but I said it was the third. I confirmed this with January Weise at the Texas Hill Country Wineries. She reports that both the Upper Mississippi River Valley AVA (over 19 million acres) and the Ohio River Valley AVA (at over 16 million acres) are larger than the Texas Hill Country AVA.References:  Texas Wine Grape Varieties Report  Texas Wine & Grape Growers Association  Texas Hill Country Wineries  Texas High Plains Growers  Texas Wine Lover article “Texas Grapevines by the Numbers: What’s Trending Up, What’s Trending Down, and What It Means for Texas Wine”  Vintage Texas  Wine consumption by state  Wine produced by stateEducation:Doug Lewis’s photo of verasion.

Rick Bachman grew up in San Angelo.  After graduating high school, he joined the Navy and set sail.  Upon returning to the San Angelo area he enrolled in college at Angelo State University.  Coach B began his career down in Alice.  After spending time in Alice, he decided to head back out west to Ozona, where he took a job in the oilfield.  After many year in the oil industry, he was brought back into education by one of our previous guests, Larry Taylor, who at the time was the Superintendent of Ozona.  Coach B eventually took a job in Beeville, before heading back out west to Fort Stockton where he would begin his administrative career as an assistant principal.  Rick eventually took on the role as middle school principal in Ozona, and then returned to Fort Stockton, where he retired from his career in education.  These days you can find him back in the oil industry.  Are you an educator that wants to know how to get into the oil industry?  If so, then listen to this episode, because we cover the two most important ways for you to do it!  Not to mention, you'll have the opportunity I received to listen to a great man tell you a lot of truth about the world of public education in the State of Texas.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/erik-thormaehlen/support

Texas+Water Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Todd Votteler, talks with Robert Mace and Sharlene Leurig about a new study that is exploring the science behind Comanche Springs’ recent reawakening and the efforts that could help Fort Stockton reclaim its title as the Spring City of Texas. Once one of the five largest springs in Texas, Comanche Springs ceased flowing in the 1950s due to significant groundwater pumping upstream from the springs. Over the last decade, however, the once-quiet springs have begun flowing again in the late winter months. The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment at Texas State University and Texas Water Trade are conducting a feasibility assessment of a market-based restoration of Comanche Springs. The assessment will evaluate what it would take to restore perennial flows using voluntary, market-based cooperation of groundwater owners in the Comanche Springs’ contributing and recharge zones. Sharlene Leurig is the Chief Executive Officer of Texas Water Trade. She is a sustainable water finance expert with extensive experience in Texas on long-range water planning, infrastructure finance and water transactions. Formerly, she directed the Texas Environmental Flows Initiative, a collaboration of The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment, the Harte Research Institute, The Nature Conservancy, and several other groups, to purchase water for the bays and estuaries of the Texas Gulf Coast. She also chaired the Austin Water Forward Task Force, which developed a groundbreaking 100-year water plan approved unanimously by the Austin City Council in 2018. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and English from Washington University in St. Louis and a Master in City Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she was a fellow in the MIT-USGS Science Impact Collaborative, focusing on the role of science in multi-stakeholder resource planning and dispute resolution. Robert Mace is the Interim Executive Director and Chief Water Policy Officer at The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment and a Professor of Practice in the Department of Geography at Texas State University. He has over 30 years of experience in hydrology, hydrogeology, stakeholder processes and water policy, mostly in Texas. Before joining Texas State University in 2017, Mace worked at the Texas Water Development Board for 17 years ending his career there as the Deputy Executive Administrator for the Water Science & Conservation office. While at the Board, Robert worked on understanding groundwater and surface water resources in Texas; advancing water conservation and innovative water technologies such as desalination, aquifer storage and recovery, reuse, and rainwater harvesting; and protecting Texans from floods. Prior to joining the Texas Water Development Board, Robert worked nine years at the Bureau of Economic Geology at The University of Texas at Austin as a hydrologist and research scientist. Robert has a Bachelor of Science in Geophysics and a Master of Science in Hydrology from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and a doctorate in hydrogeology from The University of Texas at Austin.

I wanted to check in on the BBQ scene a little bit. If you’re a cook, butcher, cutter, pit guy or have anything to do with BBQ send me a message or DM. The BBQ world is full of stories and I want to hear yours. I love BBQ. I love the people who cook it, I love the smell of it cooking all over Texas. I love the meats that Texans cook and I love the way the alchemy of BBQ transforms a simple cut into soft and delicious wonderment. If you listen to this show you know I travel all over. I’m the embedded journalist chasing the story of BBQ. Just recently I’ve jumped in cars, planes and even on my motorcycle to get good cue and a good story. A lot of my interviews were videotaped as well so don’t be a stranger to the youtube channel! If you want to know when they come out subscribe to my channel. It’s easy to remember, just type in Best B B Q Show. Also, click the little bell icon to get notifications every time I post an episode on the channel. This being episode 114, I want to ask y’all a few questions. I want to know exactly what you’re looking for when you press play on the show. The reason I ask is because I don’t enjoy a lot of popular BBQ shows, especially these shows on TV that give you a glimpse of a popular spot but don’t truly tell their story. I’m creating something different. I’m creating something that goes deeper into the people who cook bbq and how they cook it. I know I could get hundreds of thousands of followers if I just posted BBQ porn all the time. Slomo shots of meat cooking and getting cut. Epic drone passes of big events and the biggest names. Don’t worry, you’ll see that on my show, I just don’t want it to be the majority of what I’m sharing. I’m excited to show you the nuances of BBQ. The things they can’t show in a 4 and a half minute segment between commercials on a TV food channel. I’m also on demand. You can watch my stories anytime you want or listen to a podcast at will. No need to worry about catching it at a certain time. I’ve got over 100 guests from the past few years to follow up on and new ones to introduce to you as well. I’ll always be checking in with the OG’s like Wayne Mueller at The Cathedral of Smoke, The Snow’s BBQ crew and a few competitions teams like SS Pit Crew or The Shed BBQ. A few weeks ago I jumped in a car with my friend Joey Garcia. A Houston BBQ enthusiast who’s good with a camera and loves a long drive. We left Friday morning around 10am. I loaded a cooler full of topo chicos. Lime of course. We had a long drive but we both knew with short stops we’d be there in no time. If you driven through west Texas you know there isn’t much out there. I love the wind turbines, the abandoned buildings and all the overpriced gas stations. If you’ve driven I-10 in west Texas you’ve seen an abandoned gas station where the roof over the pumps has fallen and twisted in the wind. I’m amazed that it’s there every time I drive by. Things don’t change as fast out west. In Austin things change every day. Between Google, Apple, Datical, Dell, Atlassian, TrendKite, Facebook, Accenture, the universities, 3M, Whole Foods  it seems every person I meet is in tech. Even the amount of BBQ joints keeps growing every year. So when you hear west Texas has a BBQ scene, you pay attention, because changes don’t happen often in the dessert. Joey was determined to get to Convenience West BBQ shortly after they started serving BBQ. He mentioned the menu more than once and all the different offerings he was excited to try. The white Subaru we were rolling in was cruising comfortably a few miles over the speed limit. We flipped between podcasts and some easy listening. By the time we got to Fort Stockton,which is still a few hours from Marfa, we had gone through at least 7 topo chicos. If you didn’t know, the secret to surviving a Texas summer, it’s topo chico. They’re not sponsoring me, but if you know someone there, I think we could talk about it… That cold glass bottle that seems to never run out of bubbles is a staple in my life. To get to Marfa, you have to drive through a few towns, one of those is Alpine. Alpine is about 26 miles east of Marfa and consists of two one way streets. They call it the one way. I’d love to explore Alpine more, but not this trip, we had to get to Convenience West before they ran out of food! The vibe in Marfa is quiet, calm and serene. There’s a few stop signs, some bars, food shark, dairy queen and on the west side of town is Convenience West BBQ. When we pulled up the dining room was full of the eclectic crowd you’d expect. Fashionable hats, coveralls, summer dresses and cool jackets littered the room. Kaki was happy to greet us and I recognized the whole crew from their Instagram. Mark was slicing up a mouthwatering brisket. You can tell someone who knows how to cut brisket a few ways. One, is they take their time and let a sharp knife do the work. Two, their slices are even the whole way down. They’re not thicker on the bottom or the top. After looking at the menu and seeing the unique items like the roasted carrot dip dip, I was sure we had made a good choice. There’s nothing like starting a weekend with a mad dash to BBQ. I’m sure if you’re listening, you’ve been on one of these. If not, you’re probably thinking about a BBQ excursion to one of your favorite places. I tell this story because BBQ takes time. It takes patience and eating it takes a little time and patience too. How many other foods do people drive across states and countries to eat? How did BBQ become everyone's destination. Not only that but many people drive for hours and then get in a line that may be an hour or longer. Have you waited in a line lately? Are you planning to? Snap a photo and tag me. I’ve got a $20 credit to my merch store for one lucky listener. I’m a BBQ guy. If you scroll through the camera roll on my phone it is all meat. My lady likes to laugh and tell people this. If they don’t believe her she happily scrolls through my phone to show all the food and meats. With my years of meat pictures you could scroll through for days. I’m pretty sure my cloud is a vegetarian's nightmare. Happiness is BBQ. The people I meat in BBQ are living a great life. They’re hard workers. They lose sleep, have burns and cuts on their hands. They slave away for days before the food is ready. If you’re eating good Texas BBQ it’s possible the process to make it started 24 plus hours ago. How is something so old becoming so popular? This show is on its third year and I feel like I’ve barely covered all the happenings. Even though I’ve been on both coasts and all over Texas there’s still more story to tell. The quality of BBQ in America is on the rise. Texas BBQ can take a lot of credit for that. In Texas, we take our time. Even a chicken takes at least a couple of hours. In the past two years a lot of ideas have come up for this show. Should it be interviews or reviews? Restaurants, competition or pop ups? Do we need some sort of focus. I don’t think it’s that easy. It’s hard to cover BBQ without expressing an opinion but I’ll tell you now that I won’t be criticizing or putting down any BBQ I eat. All of the positives will be shared and if I don’t like something, well, you won’t hear about it. When I eat all the different cuts and creations people work so hard to cook, it’s astounding. There’s no way to compare all the ways people cook. Even some of the chains in Texas, like Rudy’s are putting out a good product and have a great vibe when you walk in. This is also why I won’t be making any lists. I don’t think anyone is qualified to rank the top places. How could you say one place is 1st, 3rd or 10th. I can guarantee you if you made a list of 50 places that it would be hard to find a top. The truth is we’re all having too good of a time to start making lists. I’m eating the best BBQ in the world and sharing it with as many people as I can. I don’t have time to rank or complain. To nit pick little details. Honestly, if you eat BBQ, especially in Texas and you aren’t satisfied, let the people there know. I understand it’s difficult to send things back or convey you have a problem. None of us ever want to complain, but I’ll tell you from talking to countless owners that they want to know. They would rather know right away than read it on some review on google or yelp.   Google or Yelp aren’t going to give you a better slice of brisket or and they aren’t going to help you if something was wrong. You know who can help you? The people at the restaurant. We’ve all read the reviews that make no sense. “I called and no one answered...1star”, “The BBQ was cold because I took 20 minutes taking pictures, 1 star” Most people who review food aren’t truly qualified to do so. So stop listening to their reviews and go explore for yourself.

Chris Husong is a market expert in the hemp industry. Accounting for the challenges of public perception, legal challenges, and the burdens of science to prove the claims for hemp benefits have all shaped the climate in which hemp is used today. Born in Texas, Chris moved with his parents a few times throughout the country, studied theology in California, worked in finance and telecom, and after confronting his own biases, discovered that the hemp industry needed legitimatization. Teaching the skeptics, directing messaging for correct use, and ultimately using education as the chosen tool for sales, Chris shared with GCP why the truth behind hemp is the only way to properly build its acceptance.https://elixinol.comFacebook: @Elixinol https://www.facebook.com/elixinol/LinkedIn: @Elixinol https://www.linkedin.com/company/elixinol/Twitter: @ElixinolCBD

parts store's loss was last minimum three exclusions apply conference 10 3119 well it's a gut check project this is episode number eight project we check our egos at the door and they get your health in check I'm here with your host Dr. Kenneth Brown I'm Eric Rieger Doug Brown I doing today I'm doing fantastic episode number eight holy cow I feel like we have the words flying through these episodes every time we come always a better guess today is no exception at all this is gonna be really exciting now is to be very exciting is your mind when you said episode number eight remember that show it is enough I don't want that to be the theme as well as Rabbi and it won't be today she was incredibly excited we have on today Christian song long term market experience within the hemp industry and he has me setting it is getting an incredible tale of coming from a world of high regulation in telecom and in banking and basically what the hemp industry means to America he's got lots of interaction stories and what it takes to make people understand the importance of hemp and how to accept the message of me what did you can you gather out of that amine Christmas we met at first two years ago yeah so my my initial meeting of Christmas two years ago that's we told the story before will repel your facts right and I walked by the lexical booth and another salesperson other than marketing person Christine Thiel grab me and the thing I remember most about that is Dave Christine and Chris all super tall like this is a really tall child apparently hip will make you taller I know you call me someone will be involved with that company so we could do some real basketball or something you know join the election all basketball team what you honestly if you're in listening to get your project today if you've ever wondered about hey look at him is new to me and I'm not really sure what to think that's that's okay today's episode is really kind incredible as Chris can walk through what it's like to to not just look at Hampton say minutes taboo that's taboo it's okay so many people started there and he's got a lot of experience in helping people understand the benefits behind him and what he can do to change their lives for what I love about this is that he comes from these industries are so regulated and she had to transform that into an industry that is so misunderstood you know when you look at that you look at his bio he only looks on website it says it is skilled in helping people and companies overcome their psychological creative and strategic barriers so that they can achieve the professional personal and creative goals so more than just be the chief marketing officer this guys can be my life coach break through all those barriers yet when Ken and Chris Chris's got a lot of a lot of expense he actually went to theological theology school in not in California but were to talk about that for sure yes that means because just think about the transition nearly everything he's gone through in and of course and he's either great guy can't wait from to join the show hit the bottom of the hour course that they were have KPD KB MD's corner where basically Dr. Brown will die do like he's been doing the last seven shows in address some recent research topics and get tiny previews about what to talk about your two minutes yeah so what we always like to do is try to have a bootable format here so everyone knows what to get it into the show so we know we have a fantastic guest I also want to talk about some recent science it's out there so we have forcefully graduate student that helps us out and she sent a really cool article about ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease the same disease that killed Stephen Hawking right I have a very personal tide of this because when my good friends Dr. Russell Veronica in San Antonio a gastroenterologist that I've trained with and with medical school with his father unfortunately passed away of this so I saw this article which to my knowledge the first one that actually looks at ALS and CBD ties in perfectly because we have Christmas song near chief marketing officer now we can't make disease claims what we can say is look it may help some of these different diseases where there really is no treatment and this is a really cool study that I wanted didn't and it's also even said that because today shows can be so incredible and that the way we learn how to balance real information and what we can legally say as a marketing person and then what the consumer can do with both of these angles to kind of piece these puzzles together much like the episode we had last time in stem cell oh yeah you know this fascinating cool stuff you like why don't more people know about this will Chris has to deal with that every day is like no we can say this we can't say this oh my goodness yes is be fantastic if we did this but we have to do it this way because his background I think is a perfect background coming from the super regulated industry to an area that is so gray that you really need somebody very disciplined like him to sort of take the reins and that's why think election all such unique company yet without question let's get some of the paying the bills out of the way and first off the bat love my tummy.com/spoony what could that be in reference to well I believe you're talking about my baby trying to I am trying to so we talk about how our transit was initially developed for bloating and digestive issues change in bowel habits abdominal discomfort what I am seeing a whole lot of which is really cool really getting into this practice of just coming up in the next few weeks that are professional triathletes we have different bodybuilders and things like that that we have slated to come in one of the things we do realize is that the polyphenols in trying to actually increase blood flow to the muscles so that you can have better performance in just about everything so the polyphenols go to your: where your own colonic archer will break them down into anti-inflammatory and basically antioxidant species so that you can recover from workouts and you can actually increase blood flow so not only is it good for bloating but I encourage everyone to go to love my Tommy.com/spoony put in the spooning code SP 00 NY and get 10% off I just answered you did bring up athlete hotrod teal is the only NSF certified for sport product out there indicated for bloating what is it me so if something is NSF certified for sport specifically it means that 1/3 party the NSF foundation has taken the product and they made certain that everything you mark on your package is truthful date they can be backed up that the claims that you have for your studies are verified and that every single product it makes up the composite award the product itself is clean if you're an athlete you don't have to worry that something you and a girl you're going to take with the NSF certified for sport moniker on it might contaminate a sample or might not do exactly what the ad the labeling says so NSF certified for sport is the same thing that Richard dietitians there with MLB NFL NCAA Olympics Olympics they look for that little mark to make certain that when they recommend a supplement or an over-the-counter supplement or aid to their athletes that it's on there so they know that it's a it's a clean product and John Teal features that endorsement that's also because a lot of companies don't have that we pay to play for that eventually I think that what we should have is a KB MD endorsement over here was just means that we like the product to say absolutely right some quick follow-up from from my last week show one of the coolest things as people began to take in Dr. Wade McCann as if he didn't check out episode seven go back and listen last week if you have any questions about stem cells the future stem cells what it's like to market stem cells in this FDA over regulating environment even know you have truth in your hands go back and listen episode seven but once Wade McKenna finished his his episode all week we received email I even got texts stem cells are good for hair growth stem cells can actually help me with my sciatica that I've been dealing with for a few years it's amazing what people don't know about stem cells and then how many people said I thought whenever I used quote unquote cord blood that I was using stem cells and it turns out that you're just not so anyway last week's feedback to getting feedback from last week I got a ton of feedback I actually got a ton of feedback people were I got a lot of calls people wanted to go I think a lot of people actually call me how to actually get into Dr. Wade McKenna's practice of which I think is also because when we have some real like that they can make it make a difference I mean when I sit there and think about this we are completely under utilizing everybody with analysts on the show so far photo bio modulation stem cells once you get into the science you like wow the site speaks for itself much like CBD yes science much like outrun to the science hold its own yeah and that's a cool sinks within a marketing gimmick it's none of this and that's what Chris is going talk about how do you how to stay above how do you stay above the bar where everybody else is trying to play a marketing game and usually want to get out there and help people that's remarkable whenever you look back and you does mention it photo by modulation with James Carroll and talking about stem cells last week with the Dr. McKennitt the parallels that were running here with the CBD industry or hemp industry and what the FDA basically is doing because the FDA is it it it playing all three of those we got truth and results so true and you just can't cannot see it's crazy but anyhow if and you can always go back and check any of our previous episodes you can always go to iTunes and search

share so Dr. Brown let's head into KPMG corner what's on the corner today well let's talk a little bit about some personal stuff start this is kind of interesting I'm a little bit embarrassed about this what you know how when sometimes it's too close to you and you don't know what's going on well my mom unfortunately she fell hurt her shoulder about three months ago and she's been rehabbing Kent and I was just talking to her and I just went oh my gosh did I not send you CBD that are not and she owes no I don't know you know I tried something like that some hemp oil what she tried screws that endure anything else like okay let me send you something so I sent her some bottles with some vitamin D and sufficient oil because I believe in using these fatty acids to really help brain information in such large Dr. couple days ago and she was post be doing three more months of rehab and she goes okay and it's so exciting I don't have to go to rehab anymore my shoulder feels great it actually back to normal this is after you sent everything this is after center about two weeks of using the CBD and so she's Artie on trunk Hill always has been for quite a while but so after sending the CBD and now embarrassed because I'm like oh my gosh my own mom herself and that would be something owed to the patient immediately you just forget when it's too close and then my sister who's actually black belt in aikido and she's always been yourself open to students rose to banged up my mom gave her a bottle and she just texted me this morning said oh my gosh that works so well the key to this Morgan talk about this with Chris that there are differences in different types of CBD and what is out there how you market so my personal story is sorry mama should be given to to three months ago just was too close to it we got so much stuff going on and you know fortunately better late than never she's doing great yeah I know that's a it's of these brothers, interesting so you said in another we can touch on Chris but when James was on James Carroll from outdoor laser he talked about imitators right and then last week with the with Dr. Wade mechanically talked about imitators or people that don't administer stem cells appropriately or may not actually even be utilizing stem cells but saying that they are or putting in chemicals that will destroy destroy those that are not probably not to their own fault I just don't know enough about it because the reality is we talked about this is CBD industry and I'm I tell my patients this I said I would get into a loop of the science would explain a little bit we have this new brochure that explains a little bit and we get into the fact of what your end or cannabinoid system is how it links the nervous system and the immune system put you back in balance that is so simplistic because the reality is were going to see a field of medicine called Endo Kanab analogy and your Genesee specialist called Endo Canavan allergist's share I'm convinced of it sure any of you have a hepatology ST have the endocrinologists there is actually no reason why you would have an Indo Campanella just as we begin to learn more that CBD absolutely totally agree right it's about you anything going on in the personal life personal life at the boys I mean honestly the boys are doing great. During off-season basketball who ended up I know that seems like add the theme but that's that's really what they're into but I did go shoot with my youngest earlier this week and I learned that dad dad is the worst basketball player in the household now Matt can drain from all points of the court I'm just I'm no match anymore there faster than I am and now that he's basically 6 foot tall and 15 and gauges about 61 now in 1730 I just not much I can do with with either one of them so very much dominate brain I headed down to Kaleo FX this week though oh that's right you want one of my favorite conferences to be great conference it's a chemist think that immediate which is so busy just to go this week will unfortunately I have to go to Newark New Jersey and film a national commercial for archer until Roger entails time to take out her until the next level were to be doing some national commercial so I would love it really affects would love to be helping out at the election all booth pate BMD CBD booth trash and talk about trying to learn the on the entourage effect without an CBD but I don't fly up to New York in the true commercial which I'm a little bit nervous about the Wilson estate bowing on the head Keith Michelle Noris tune into your commercial as soon as it airs big shot today and they are the one to put on file with X they do a great job if you never been that appealing effects in Austin Texas it is what's your time you going to be introduced to a bunch of different things that could probably change her health and that's how we found CBD out and say I'm very partial to pill effects last year I give a talk and one over really well talked a lot of people had to be able to get their books it was really exciting you just it just fun to see a like-minded community I did the mojo 50 show this morning we're talking about sugar and the paler community does not really eat M&Ms those guys do M&M tasting Delphi lot M&Ms of failure effect listen if you have M&Ms you to balance it out with much until Fisher 100% totally so yeah you just have a great time hello effects I will make you feel better about you not been know to beat your sons because the only person that can warm Lucas up is my daughter Carla because both my wife and I are incapable of even even hit the ball back against those guys don't know probably know why it's super humiliating I I feel memo Mike is it embarrassing that the youngest person in the family is the only person I can warm Osama before matches and vice versa they want each other up it's really cool that's get down so I'd have any hits on the on the corner before Chris joins us will I do want to bring up one thing here I will bring up an article I was try to bring up one article to talk about just now woman talk about marketing Christmas songs it's about marketing a lot of people look at the big deal I want to tell everyone about this and so on I really like to look at disease specific states And the article that we can achieve that in the beginning here is an article related to the meta-analysis was published in the Journal of neurochemistry here this year just couple months ago and what it looked at is it did a meta-analysis which is a compilation of studies usually meta-analysis I have in the scientific literature are considered to be more robust picture taking a lot of studies putting them together and this is looking at ALS known as anti-atrophic lateral sclerosis Lou Gehrig's disease is a devastating disease and as I had mentioned earlier it actually took the life of my good friend Dr. Russ of Ron Ike whose guesser Alderson San Antonio and we actually saw his dad his father correct we actually saw this progressive disease and that's the deal about ALS eight what it does is if you're unaware of it I find it to be one of the most devastating diseases out there there's a book called Tuesdays with Maury that I read back many years ago they commit a movie about it also censures about the progress the progression of ALS and somebody that where there is a caregiver helping them out and you get a feeling about how it just slowly chips away and what it does this damages the nerves that control muscles so over time all of your muscles weaken to the point where they cannot contract eventually hitting the diaphragm so you can't read you lose the ability to speak because you can't control your tongue you lose the ability fine motor movement changes first because the small muscles go and you can't button things and it is just a debilitating but you keep your mind eventually you have some mind changes and they don't really understand why it is they believe there's a small genetic component but really what it is it's an excitatory issue with the nerves releasing too many of certain chemicals that eventually do not allow the do not allow the muscle to contract on the words and try to sting like muscle doesn't work so this was quite a while ago I've been in practice for 17 years Russ and I with both med school and fellowship together it was during residency so were talking 27 years ago 25 years ago I do know anything about CBD fat I know they must be in touch two years ago so this study came out red actually showed that they looked at mice and they looked at their ability to travel distance they looked at their grip strength that she put them through some sort of little American ninja course where they had them hang upside down on the net so like a Jacob's ladder, it was it was it was really it was fascinating that I made a run a wheel what they did is they they actually looked at those that had that were given CBD and those that were the control group and what they showed across the board in this meta-analysis is that those mice I'm sorry let me preface that the mice were genetically predisposed to have ALS so they all had a lot okay okay and what they did is that they showed that the mice that were on CBD could actually run further the mice could cling long-running that they actually increase the grip strength running real activity and they had improved survival and they did not have weight loss when they looked at all the studies something stood out to me that was very interesting they were all given CBD one particular study that they look that used a Madrigal inhibitor now what Maggio is is that's the enzyme that breaks down to AG one of your Dodgers and of cannabinoids in one of these days were to get into the deep science about the inner cannabinoid system gets all complex that's a drug it's in study and it's called KM L 29 so it's fascinating that the FDA's over here try to regulate right and in the background you've got drug companies try to develop drugs to manipulate the system if they can figure out that's awesome but is really interesting because the macro inhibitor was not as good as the traditional CBD and so what they found is that CD1 and CB to agonists in other words CBD significantly delayed the decline of motor function when compared to the control group and they showed a consistent 12 to 25 days longer of normal motor function in the mouse world what you doing is really improving that so right now there's no treatment for this they've got a couple drugs available one called real you tech and one called red Dick Reddick Have Not Even Sure That That Was around When Ross's Dad Was Sick They Said That It Could Potentially Slow down the Progression by a Month or Two While the Superexpensive Month or Two That's It I Member at the Time When We Went outside and Rushes Flying All over the Country Thing Is That Everywhere There Were Trying Everything They're Looking at Using Creatine and Different Things like That so Here We Have This Deal Where We've Got Eight Now You Can't Just Translate Mouse Models to Humans But It's Really One of the First Step in Trying to Figure Some Stuff out My Deal Is That We Know That CBD Helps in Many Different Ways and I'm Not Saying That This Is a Disease Claim I'm Not Saying That This Is Functioning and Will Help but It Certainly Can't Hurt and Might Help Right so When You Have a Very Specific Disease Group like ALS to Desperate Group with No Significant Treatment I Think It's Fascinating That These Guys Went to the Trouble of Putting Together This Mouse Data to Actually Try and Figure This out so Here We Have Grip Strength Upside down Running All of It Which Means That There Is Some Potential That This Could Actually Help This Very Devastating Disease and Is Very Small Group of People Because It's Rare but When It Does Affect You It Affects Everybody It May Affect One Person so the Number the Thing We'll Talk about Is When We Say Disease Oh This Is the Incidence of This Disease This Is the Prevalence of This Disease As Somebody Who Lost My Dad at a Young Age It Affects More Than Just the Person That Dies Share the Prevalence or the Incidence of the Disease Affects Everyone Around Them Right so I Think That If We Can Help Those People with ALS If You Know Anybody with ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease This Is Something That May Be Showmen We Can Certainly Forward This Article to Anybody That Would like to so Include Any of the Studies That Utilize a Mouse AMI All All of the Drugs They Began and and and Started There to Try to Find out If This Is a Workable Model and Unfortunately with Today's Highly Regulated Environment He Can't Just Keep Going Forward but Were Trying to Help People Connect the Dots This That CBD Is Safe to Take and You Shouldn't Have Any Serious Side Effects Certainly by Consuming CBD It Just so Happens That in This Mouse Model We Saw These Improvements Draw from the Conclusions What You Will But This Is What I've Seen and I Mean I Think That Were Hinting In the in the Correct Direction I Just Think That It's You Know This Is Work Were Offering Hope Church When Scientists like This Do This You Just Offer Little Bit of Hope And It Is a Devastating Disease and We Just Want to See People and Just Offer Them Something an Alternative Right And If They Can Even If They Feel a Bit Better Well We Got 20 Seconds Left Here in Just a Moment We Are Going to Be Joined by

Catch a Project Is Brought to You by Arch on Teal As Well As KB MD CBD You Can findkbmdcbd@kbmdhealth.com and it just so happens that Chris may happen to know a little bit about KB MD CBD As Well Please Think Our Dialects and the Power Power by Licks and All so Chris You We Are Now in Dallas That's Where Our Studio Is Siam in Dallas Here with You Guys Thanks for Having Me I Grew up in Plano Just down the Road Just I Know That That's Also That's Where I Live Right Now Sam Right on Teakwood Okay All Right in the Middle Was Back When There Was Still Some Farmland in That Region Roads That Were Definitely Not Paved Back That Well While You Have Made Your Journey All the Way to Being a Market Expert but It Was You Got Zero Stress Remember I Was Told about Russ and His Dad yet Will He's Just Call Me Right Here Is Try to Call Him to Let Me Describe a Little Bit about about His Experience Home on Such a Crazy Timing to Rent a Van Fantastic What Will Look at That Set up Well in the Meantime While Were Getting the Call Set up Which This Be Our First Time We've Ever Had Live Taller All for You Chris That's Awesome Though Our Weight Much to Say Go Wildcats for Plano West Guy While Nice Nice Sticky Big Absolutely so from Plano You Are You Hello When You Plan to Graduate High School There No so I Was Born in the Fort Stockton Texas Home Right Now Where Judge Judge Roy Bean the Hanging Judge a Hanging Judge Meant to Write Also the Largest Groundhog Population in Texas That at the Time Did I Know That I Seconds Probably Pretty Pretty Have Been Doing down There but No I Moved to All over Texas with My Dad Is an Engineer for General Electric Okay so We Were All over the Place and Then Moved to California Right and I Graduated College out There and Jumped around All Sorts of Places since Then Is Your Degree in Theology Theology Yeah That's Right This Is Great for What I'm Doing Preaching about Hemp and CBD What May Think That I in All Honesty When You Find That There Is Actually Quite a Bit of Similarity and There's Going to Be A Lot of Congruent Messaging Well There There Is A Lot Of Congruent Messaging and and We Can Get Super Deep on It If You'd like but Overall Community, Theology or CVD Will Get the Loan Both of Them Get Real Deep on Both but That Because I Think Are Highly Connected I Think One of Them I Don't Know How Far You Want to Get into This Right Now but CBD Itself I Think It's Is One of the Main Things in the Unit Can Have Annoyed Systems and Allows All That Better Empathy Sure Which Is What Is Causing so Much Disregard and Disconnection in Our Society Right Now Right and If We Can All Take a Significant Amount of Quality CB and Improve Our Ability For Our Brain to Connect with People and and Not Have Social Anxiety And Connect to People Then Were Going to Actually Build Improve Our Culture and and Not Not Have All These Great Divides so I Would Assume That Probably Whenever You Are Studying Theology That That May Not Have Been Your Attitude Towards CBD or Hemp Products or That Was Even on Your Radar Though My Gosh Cannabis in CBD and Hemp Was Bad Sure You Know the Devils We Write Back Then and That It's Definitely Not Something That I Supported I Told My Kids Said No Don't Do Dumb Stuff Listen to Dad and Don't Do Drugs and Cannabis Was Definitely One of Those Things and I Had to Change My Tune Much Later in Life and My Mom Actually Group Cannabis and Marijuana While She Was Raising Us in Texas and Oklahoma and Back What Was Illegal She Was like One of the Original Member That Was – She Is Original OGE That so and You Know I I Being the Rebellious Teenager Decide I'm to Put Our Three-Piece Suit and Go Learn Religion and You Look down from My Port Perch on People and Obviously I Had to Humble Myself and Admit Mom Was Right the Whole Time That Is so Fascinating I Don't Want to Break the Story Whatsoever but I Think We Have Our First Because This Is Going All Dr. Russell Running San Antonio He Is Patched in And Russ Can Hear Us Morning Man This Is Also My Was That Obvious He Heard the Show This Morning Was Talk about You and Your Dad I Appreciate That That Means A Lot It Does so Russ Whenever You Found out That Your Dad Had ALS When When You Look at the Options That Were on the Table What and in You Being Physician What Did You Think of the Landscape and What Did You Think the Options Would Be For Him and Then Now Looking Back to What What Cans Talking about in Terms of CBD and ALS What I Mean I Lost My Dad You've Lost Your Dad Can Lost His Dad and You Know It's It's No Fun for Anyone Any Always Wish That You Had the Experiences of Technology Later What What Do You Wish You Could Take Back to in Time from What We Learn Now She Mentioned That My Dad Started Get Sick with ALS Back When Can Our Medical School Diseases Just Initiated This Really Is and They're Just Just Seated Man Who Was Pillar of Strength and It Just Wait, Wait Enough and Where They Couldn't Hold a Hammer He Could Climb a Ladder and the Most Devastating Part of That for Us Was When He Studied the Single Ball Ballparks in Ankeny and Carry on a Conversation and Eat Well Anymore Back Then There Was Nothing for Writers One of Those Diseases like Pancreatic Cancer You Got It Sorry I Just Not Then We Can Do and Then I Moved down Here to San Antonio Started Launching Residency and Fellowship and Hooked up with Carding Jackson Was a Neurologist down Here Amazing Woman Who Runs a Big ALS Clinic Here in South Texas and I Started Flying My Dad down Twice a Year and She'd See Him in an Even In Her Clinic It Was the Experimental Things of This Kind of False Hope Was Some Anti-Inflammatories There Wasn't Anything That Worked and There Are Days When It Looked like It May Be a Little Stronger and Days When He Wouldn't Now 15 Years Looking Back You Know That He's Been Gone There's Been so Much Advancement in so Many of These Neurologic Diseases and It's These Natural Types of Things That Seem to Keep Coming up As Potential Cures for This and Have Even Had an Opportunity to Have Him Try Something like This Back Then I Did My Right Arm for Combat and I Would Believe That You Don't Get Back That's I Think When You Talk about Suitable Were What Is Referring to Is the Ability to Swallow the Ability to Form Wet so I Remember When Your Dad Would Come Visit and We Would All Go to Your We Would Gather His Residence Would Go to the Pool And She Would Mumble Words That Only a Wife of 30 Years Could Understand and She Would Translate so He Was Still Completely with It Couldn't Communicate but That Kinda Shows Also the Bond That Husband and Wife Can Have Watching Your Mom Be Able to Understand What Your Dad Was Trying to Say Was Very Touching to All of Us In Talking with Him and That's the Part He Hated the Most You Got Your French Don't You Go out Yes and Cocktails Have a Dinner You Care Phone Conversation When You're like That Friends Don't Want to Hang out with You Anymore Because It's Hard and Embarrassing to to Say I Don't Know What You're Saying so There Were Times When My Dad Loved to Drink Beer I like to Drink Beer I Were Small-Town Nebraska I Would Grow up up There so When He Got to That Point in His Disease And He We Had the Decision to Finally A Peg Tube Feeding Put Two But into His Stomach to Swallow Much Anymore When You Come down Here and I Cannot Would Sit around and We Drink Beer and Dad Would Set Some up in Achieving Stringent Squared Together and It Was Awesome and and One of the Greatest Things I Remember Doing with My Dad Back and When He Got to Where He Couldn't Talk Was I Flew up and Picked Him up and Took Him up to Minnesota Went Fishing and Camping for Weekend We Sat around the Campfire We Just Drank until I Can Really Talk Either Loved It but That's What That Disease Did Nothing We Tried Were I Think That What Were Seeing Now with This Is That We Can Talk on the Mode of How Potentially the End of Cannabinoid System Works in These Neurotransmitters No Rust We Have Christmas Song on the Show Today Is the Marketing Director of Licks and All and He Was Just Tell yet He Was Talking about How His Mom Actually Was The Original OG Is Raising Her She Was Growing Marijuana and He Went to Theology School, Rebelled The Opposite Way like If You Are a Pastor You Really Grow Weed If You're Growing We Bellied Theology School You Find out You Know What You Go Back to the Things Parents. It Worked and It Made Sense Mom Was Right I Long Yeah Yeah I Mean I Joke That All the Time. I Grew up My Dad Was Yellow Country Music and Bud Light Not Solid to Rock 'n' Roll and Drink Out Of Date Now 50 and I Listen to Country Music Drink Bud Light Back Here at That Time That Often Did That Because You Find Those Things Were We Did Know Hey Rossiter – Neurology Practice Are You Incorporating Type of Natural Alternative Anything like That Big and Real High Population of People That Are Educated on the Younger Patient Population That I Have an Initial Internet Savvy and A Lot Of Them Come to Me Already Knowing A Lot about These Things and Having Read A Lot about These Things It's All out There When You Look Which Having Awesome so I Do I Have Acrobatic Doctors That I Work with I Have A Lot Of Patients on CD Oils Not Just for Things like This That Were Talking about but My Miles to Christ in Crohn's Patients with Chronic Nausea Patients My Chronic Pain Patients like Everything It Works for Some and It Does Percent Doesn't. Well I Want to See How It Was with What You Can Find Is That and What I Found Is That Not All CBD Is Created Equal And so with Some Things and so We Have Chris on Right Here and That I I'm Very I Think I Have a Similar Mantra Have A Lot Of Patience to Come into Being There Already Though I'd Artie Tried to Be like My Mom Tried Hemp Oil Which Probably Was Hemp Seed Oil Now That I Think about It in the Will and so It's like All Things You Know Not All Seabees Created Equal That's Working to Get into Today for the Rest of the Show Talk about This How Do You Market That How You Get the Word out That Just Because You Tried This Blanket Term CBD You Know You Gotta Really Make Sure That They Got a Certificate of Analysis and All That so I Want to Do If You Had Patients and It Didn't Work on Listing the Rest of the Show Because It May Be That the Power Dialects All Brand Is What You Really Need That's Exactly What We Need to Hear Some I'm Glad You Get Thanks for Involving Me and Bring Back Member My Dad and Mandalay Castle Being Vulnerable and Talking about That I Think It's Important for You Know I'm the Same Way Love Talk about My Dad It's Been You Many Years Now 30 Years since He Died so I'm Lucky Enough Still Have My Dad but My Fondest Memories Are Him Drinking Coors Light on the Boat Name for Court like Nebraska State Aire's Stepdaughter Russ I Was Met Together and That Means That We We with Some Real Lean Years Were We Were Broke Ass Med Student and Your Dad Will Visit And We Would Purposely Go to Bars with a Wood Offers like Specials like in This Bar It Will and You Don't Medical Whatever I'm Agreed As I Am Still a Bud Light like You Have but You Know Such Such Beers like 50% Was like I Was like Yeah Yeah Johnny Jerilyn $4.55 Dollars to Run I Got My Recall and in This Is Awesome That Your First Call Every Now and Certainly I Deftly Appreciated I Appreciate You Guys and Will Keep with the Man Thanks for All You Do Appreciate It I See Russ Well Chris to Talk about Beer Similar Talk about Boys You Know What I'll Say This I Remember Listening to a Podcast Were One of the Reasons Why Beer May Be so Popular Is Because the Hops and Actually Have a End of – You Have a Cannabinoid -like Molecule so My Understanding Is That That Was All Made up All Really Got Some Some Marketing Guy Used His Powers for Evil Instead of Good and That the Two Companies That Are And It Kinda Leaves What You're Talking about Not All Seabees Made Same Two Companies That Were behind Those Actually Had to Admit That There Was Those Studies Were Completely Phone No Kidding Yeah That Is Fascinating I Was Feeling and Have Chris Consider Just Burst Bubble to Be Dropping Some Truth Bombs Now That's Awesome What We Were Just Wrapping up so You To Get into the Hemp Industry Because Krista Talked about His Trek from from Fort Stockton to Plano out to out to California and Then You Spend a Little Time in Germany Germany Where I Did Learn A Lot about Beer Dealer Lot Is Three and Half Years on the High School There and Going to Prom and Castles and All Sorts of Fun Stuff That's a Little Different Doing for like We Did Were in Plano Where I Would've Would've Done It Sure Sure so Then after School You Then Get into Some Regulatory I Figured out This Beeper and Pager and Wireless Things Can Be a Big Deal so I Started Selling Cell Phones and Pagers and You Know Five Dollar Minute Type Technology in and Got into the Technology World and Got into When Sprint Was in One Market You Can Only Use Her Cell Phone in Fresno Okay and Then the Only Been Growing since Then Moved from There into the Finance World and Helped with A Lot Of Regulatory World and There and Open Market under A Lot Of Rules and Regulations and While I Was There I Met a Guy Who Is Doing Documentary on Campus and He Was Put Together All These Different Case Studies and All These Different Videos and Clips of These People That Have Been Healed by Campus and at That Time I Was like No Bunch of Stoners and You Just Want You with the with the Theology Background You Carry a Bias with These Going into These Other Careers Are More Open-Minded at This Point What Based on My Initial Upbringing by My Mom Who Is Very Open Minded I Was I Was Always Questioning Authority and Questioning Things and through That Entire Process Even Going through Theology School I Was Questioning Everything around Me You Know the Minute That and Again I Don't Know How Deep You Want to Get into Religion Here but the Minute That I Heard about Their Profit Care and Oh How They the Canonization of All of the Books and How They Got into the Bible I Started to Start Questioning A Lot More and You Know They Trying Teach You That the Bible Is 100% the Word of God and Then You Decide to Figure out That Is about 15 White Guys in a Room to Decide Which Books Are in the Bible and You Only but Little Doubt in Your Head Sure I Don't I Don't Know That 15 Guys Can Agree about Anything and Deftly When Trust Something like That That's Guiding so Many People's Lives Divided 15 Guys in Room so It's It's Definitely No Been Something I'm Always Open-Minded and Looking at Things and Questioning Things I'm Click to Decide and Slow to Change My Mind so I See Something That's Right and Usually Jump Right in and Stick with It May Be Too Long and Then Dismantled That up but I Learned My Lesson Sooner or Later Click to Decide Slow to Change My Mind That Is a That Is a Great Line This It's like You Make a Decision but You Don't Have To Make the Right Decision to Make Your Decision Right That A Lot Of Times I Mean We've Already It's That Little Cliché but Sure Enough Perfect Is Sometimes the Enemy of Good Brian and I like to Move Fast and Make the Decisions What I What I Believe in My Gut I Think That If More People Moved That Way Things to Get Done A Lot Faster in Love Things I Think Doubt Self-Doubt Challenges A Lot Of Us and from a Marketer And I like to Empower People to Make the Right Decisions and Given the Right Information That I Learned Early on in My Sales Careers That When People Tell You Know It's It's Primarily Because They Don't Have Enough Information to Say Yes the More Information We Can Give Them the More Education We Can Give Them Then They Can Move Forward So It's Just That Self-Doubt That Little Gut Thing That We Need to Move Them on Let Me Answer Question Measured Market Are One of the Things That I Have Run into with My Colleagues to Coworkers and Things Is That When Somebody Is so Entrenched in Their Belief They Get This Cognitive Dissonance Where It's Almost like There Is a Logical From Then on Transits and Religion Parallels That Tremendously If There's Anything That Has Cognitive Dissonance Is When Somebody Has the Religion and You like Look Just Saying That This Is like You Said It's 15 White Dudes in a Room You Know Maybe It's Not Everything I You Know There's A Lot Of Things I Grew up Catholic so I'm I'm I'm a Recovering Catholic and We Do Know There's There's A Lot Of Things I Look Back on Them like Ha Knows A Lot Of Things Were Really Good about It Right Discipline You Know Learning Empathy Learning These Different Things Learning to Be Held Accountable for What You Do There's Higher Good Buyer Doing All This of the Stall That There's Times That I Took Away from Theology and Take Away from Christianity and Many of the Religions That I've Studied but Absolutely One of the Things That Jesus Did Many Other of the of the Profits They Questioned Authority May Question Things and so It's Really Important That We Teach Our Kids Only Teach People to Question You Know Why Is CBD Bad by Wise Cannabis Bad You Know That Doesn't Make Any Sense and You Know If You Really Want to Get Deep on Some of the the Conspiracy Theories of How This All Got Legally Illegal We Could Get down That Road to Because It Is Crazy Will It Tell You What First of All Is Not All Right Thought Would Be Going off Right into A Lot Of Parallels That with This so What I Want to Ask You Is a Marketer How Do You Was a Marketer Overcome This Cognitive Dissonance so Primarily It's Education Right What What Sit in Front of Me and What Changed My Mind Is Facts I When You Look at Some Kid Or Some Mom or Some Dad That His Life Has Been Changed Because They're Taking CBD on a Regular Basis They Went from Not Being Able to Talk To Being Able to Talk No They Went from 300 Seizures a Day Two No Seizures but Those Type of Things You Can't Deny Right Something Is Working so If You're Able Then to Dig into Why Is That Not like Rafael Mitchell and Started Right He Went to Discover the Why We Get High Right Many Found in a Can-Am Annoyed System and Then He's Figured out There's More Than One Cabinet to New There's A Lot Of People Don't Know Who That Is Identical I've Read A Lot about Him Please Explain Who He Is Sort of the Godfather Godfather in the Can-Am Annoyed System and He's the One That in an Israel Went to Go Does Study Why THC Affects People And He Threw His Studies Found the Indo Cannabinoid System and the CD1 and CB to Receptors and Why We Get High and Started Been Digging into the Plant In Finding That There's Many More Cannabinoids and Found CB Juan and CBN and CBG and All These Things and He's Really the One That It Brought This to the Forefront for Everyone and Only Because Return for Why People Get Hot and Move Forward from There A True Scientist and Also Somebody Who Discovered Something That I Did Learn about Med School No Is 9% of Medical Schools Now Teach about That Night I'm Surprised It's Not Really I Think That's Higher Than What I Would've Said I Would've Said 0% It Said to Me It Still Shocking That Is That Low That It's Ever I Mean I Understand Coming from Medical Field Where You Were Taught about It so That Makes Sense Right but Even 9% of Sure All the Doctors out There How Much Impact Just This One Camp Mind Is Made Can You Imagine If 20% of Our Doctors Knew about How This Mean the Doctors That That I Talk to Every Day You Know They Run the Gamut Summerlike Yes All Day In Summer like Crazy I Lose My License Right and That's the Education Back to What Your Talk about How You Change the Minds What a Link Small Has Done and Work with People like You Is to Make Sure That Those Influencers of the Health and Wellness World Those Health Professionals out There Those Doctors Are Equipped with Education Because There to Make the Biggest Impact You Know I Can Go Sell a Bunch of This Online and All Search Ads up There and Click Send It There but What We've Decided to Is Focused Primarily on Helping Health Professionals to Learn about Our Product Because There Can Make Big Impact in the Community so That I Think That That Is All I'm Sorry about That I Think That's Paul Paul W Are Found When Joy Was Here She Was Describing Your You Paul Gabe Your Etiology Is Not so Much Just to Move Product It's to Educate the World so That This All Become Something Bigger Hundred Percent Hundred Percent Our Founder Paulino Is Pre-Much a Citizen of the World Now He Considers Himself One of Those Guys That That Doesn't Belong Any One Country That Belongs to the All of the World and He's Trying to Make Big Changes CDs Just One of Them You Know He's Been a Hen Pioneer since the 90s Right and Made the Very First Hemp Bar Because It Had so Many Omega-3's and Omega Sixes and Nobody Was Getting Those Essential Fats Right Now You Have To Get Them from Meat Is What They Were Trying so Need to Know You Can Get It from the Plants and You Can Start Getting Those Things Because You Could Lit so Many People Implant Diets Were Deficient And There Is No Reason Because We Had Hemp Constantly When I Met You and Chrissy Feel They Will Affect Two Years Ago I Knew Nothing Was in Two or Three Working up on the Third One Now Is at Three Bad Is Probably through Your Probably Right Because I Give a Lecture Last Year Yes Is Your Go to the Third Value about so What Happened to Me Was I Just Walked by the Booth and I Was Just That Christie Just Said You Discredited Love You Bunches That Happens When Everyone Christie Just Brought Everybody and She Such a Great Evangelist Shoot She Has but It Was Literally It's like I Don't Know What You're Talking about What I Did Your Enthusiasm Send a Case to My Office Area and I Gave Away the Whole Case You Can Take Any Blog I Talk about I Did Well but One Bottle and What I Found Is That I Guess Maybe Got to Get to 24 I Think I Had 22 People Come Back after the Bottle Run out the Big Bottle of 3600 It's I Want More Know It Okay Run Something And I Gave It to I Didn't of Insiders Ate the Cost and Elect Someone to See Unbiased Just Predicate Event Just Tell Me What You Think and a True Scientist but True yet so I Had like 22 of 24 People Come Back to What Okay Were on to Something Now I Need to Start Teaching Myself Now I Need to Really Start Educating Myself And It All Starts with That Starts with Just the Domino Effect And That's What's That's What I'm Doing Right Now Working to Be Talking A Lot about the Actual Science of Stuff and Disease States That I'm Helping Not Claiming But Supporting Supporting Exactly Just so You We Kind of Hit A Lot Of Different Topics Here but Said Some Things That We Can Carry over into the Next Hour That I Think the Listeners Are Really Liking at Your Approach Chris Which Is Basically You Said You'd You Should Become Double Challenging Dogma You and You Really Should If You're Going to Find Something That Doesn't Just Mean Looking at Hemp and Saying I Think It's Taboo but I Need to Find out More about It to See If I Can Change My Mind There's Also Incidents We May Say Hemp Is Everything but I Need to Make Sure That It's Everything That Everybody Says That It Is Absolutely and Then Then We Also Need to Talk about the Environment That Allows Us to Foster This Kind Growth Because There's a Reason If I Remember the Story Correctly That the Discoveries Made in Israel It Wasn't I Wasn't Able Only One Able to Have Those Kinds of Experiments Here to Find Indo Cannabinoid System in a Stateside Because Our Government Prevented That from Happening so the Fact There Were 9% of Med Schools It's Surprising That It's Grown That Much of the Same Time It Should Be Hundred Percent so We Can Get into Some Really Deep Topics in Terms of How Do We Carry This Message Forward How Do We Make It Available to More People How We Present the Facts of the People Know That You're Not Selling Them Snake Oil That You're Not Telling That You Know It It Fixes Broken Bones and Lowers Your Gas Bill Because It Doesn't Do Those Things Really Get Bored but Actually I Think Fixing Broken Bones Lowering Gas-Filled FDA and FTC Has No Problem with Those Claims but It Is That You and I Could Probably Make a Correlation to the Lower Gospel If I Wanted Regulator System Brings a Homeostasis You Don't Need to Turn up the Heater Comes to the Practical Application of a CBD Is Really Where Your Expertise Is Because You've Made This Journey Right You Made This Journey of I Don't Believe in It to This Is Incredible I Gotta Spread This News in the Right Way to Do so Would You Are Much More Well-Rounded Than I Was Anticipating This Is Really Cool You Got One of the Things You Get a Very Calm Nature but I Would Have This Nervous Energy about My Gosh I'm Sitting on This Just Amazing Thing Wire but As Everybody Get It But You Seem Very Meth Methodical about It I Should Say Well I Have I Do Have What Is Known As Very Laid-Back Nature People Been Thinking I Was High My Whole Life When I Want to Buy Weed from Me When I Didn't Have It so It's Just in My Nature but Absolutely I'm Very Thoughtful about How We Communicate This Because It's Important You Know There Is A Lot Of Weight To What Were Doing This Is a You Know Even Bigger Than the Internet Boom in the 90s and Skin to Change A Lot Of Things Now If You Think about It CBD And Him Could Replace the Entire Johnson & Johnson Catalog So That Hits on Something That We Can Deftly Take the Next Hour to Think That That the Listeners Have Got to Email about It Already That Specifically Want to Know How Can We Put Facts and Research behind Were Going to Do in the Next Hour We Can Deftly Talk about What It Is That a Medical Practitioner Can Do What It Is That a Consumer Can Do What Is in Allied Health Professional Can Do so They Can Better Spread The Message to Allow People That Are Suffering or Just Sibley Want to Improve Their Quality of Life and Him and Him Products to To Their Rather Daily Routine to See If They Can Basically Get a Better Balance so Homeostasis Homeostasis Act about Getting Back in Balance Well That Is Going to Wrap up This First Half-Hour with Chris He Saw Will Be Back Here about Four

Listeners Linda Beranek, Guadalupe Espinoza, and Josh Knight are among many Marfa Public Radio listeners who have submitted questions about esoteric local history to West Texas Wonders. So we turned to resident historian Lonn Taylor, also known as The Rambling Boy, to answer their questions about: the story behind the Sierra Madera Astrobleme signs between Fort Stockton and Marathon, whether the Davis Mountains State Park Indian Lodge is haunted, and how true it could be that Hotel Settles in Big Spring was once home to a brothel.

Part 2 - Water and Gas Pipeline Issues – How Gas Pipelines are Affecting Native Lands in Texas 03-16-2017 Recognizing the importance of protecting our water and ensuring that everyone has access to clean water, the United Nations marked March 22nd each year as World Water Day. Part 2 or our series focuses on environmental and social effects of gas pipelines in west Texas. Lori Davis, Environmental Activist, is working with allies against the TransPecos Pipeline in west Texas. This pipeline is operated by the same Texas-based company responsible for the North Dakota Access Pipeline (Energy Transfer Partners) and will gut areas near Big Bend National Park and Balmorhea State Park for hydro-fracking in Fort Stockton, piped under the Rio Grande River, and the natural gas will be sold on the international market through Mexico. There is an indigenous camp set up called Two Rivers Camp, which is modeled after the DAPL resistance where people are chaining themselves to equipment and being arrested. Juan Mancias, Tribal Chair of the Corrizo Comecrudo Tribal Nation, is working with a coalition of activist to stop the TransPecos Pipeline to protect their sacred land.

Sonia Cacy. November 10, 1991. Fort Stockton, Texas. A woman moves into the home of her uncle, Bill Richardson, to care for him after his cataract surgery. A month later, multiple fires are reported on November 2nd, 1991. The woman and her uncle fear that someone is attempting to harm them. Days later, another fire would break out that claimed the life of Bill Richardson. An investigation into this fire would result in the arrest, trial, and conviction of Sonia Cacy for the murder of her uncle. Over time, arson investigators and the Innocence Project of Texas are able to establish that the fire was not due to arson. When the facts of the case are revealed it becomes obvious that some of those responsible for her conviction knew all along that she did not start the fire. Judgment, corruption, lack of empathy, and junk science all played a role in this unbelievable true crime case.
