Ed Turnbull is back to chat about the 4-0 loss at York with Ian and Dave. We look ahead to Barnet and our defensive predicament and take your GCQs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown are all back in one place -- despite Molly's attempts to "gaslight" Jim into thinking that he wasn't on the show this Thursday! They start the show diving into Matt's near-miss on the show today, as he almost came through with a hole in one on the golf course this afternoon. Jim also addresses Matt's colorful shirt -- which is so loud that it would drown out Fred Flinstone. They shift into a conversation stemming from Robert Saleh's surprise appearance at Packers practice yesterday -- Is it more accurate to say that the Packers have a top-5 team, a top-5 defense or a top-5 QB this season? Is Jordan Love TOO confident and throwing too many picks to be a top-5 QB, and how much do we buy into the team's defense and record given their scant strength of schedule this season. Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim, Matt & Molly ahead of Sunday's Packers game vs the Jaguars and Saturday's Badgers game vs No. 3 Penn State! Jim gets Evan's thoughts on today's poll question -- is it most accurate to say that the Packers have a top-5 team, a top-5 defense or a top-5 QB? Is it safe to say that Jordan Love takes too many risks because he is TOO confident? They also asks Evan which of his predictions is he more confident in: the Bucks winning the Finals this season or Dame winning regular season MVP? Evan also chimes in on Robert Saleh's surprise appearance at Packers practice yesterday -- could Saleh be Jeff Hafley's success as DC (for good or bad reasons), or is Matt LaFleur just doing a solid for his best friend and best man? They start and end with Matt explains why he was swearing at Evan in his dreams last night and he explains why he can pull off buttoning the top button on a polo shirt! Jim, Matt & Molly wrap the show with the High Life Dive Bar of the Week: the Pub at Pleasant Springs, where we love to chase a Bloody Mary with a Wisconsin "snit" of Miller High Life!

I've admired Dave Zackin's work on Instagram for years, so when I opened a very small gallery at the Bushwick Comedy Collective to bring funny art to comedians, I was THRILLED when Zackin said yes. His show opens at The Dog House Gallery at The Brooklyn Comedy Collective, Friday,137 Montrose Ave., Friday, Sept.13, 6-9pm. It will be up through Oct. 21, 2024. I was curious about Dave. His work is literally the funniest work I see on Instagram, plus he sells everything he makes, yet he works on his own, not interested in expanding his practice into a gallery/art world situation as many artists would aspire too. I learn a lot from Dave in this session. A lot about how he came to do what he does, which involves a completely original practice of repurposing other people's rejected pottery in the pottery studio. Dave's life has balance, a job he loves, his art-making that he loves and most of all his wife and 7-year-old son. Dave turns out to be a great example of simply how to live. We also discuss this wonderful film that Dave made in 2002 while studying animation at the Rhode Island School of Design, titled Tunanoodle, so I'm including it HERE. See Dave's work on Instagram HERE. Dave's website is HERE. Here's some quotes I found from Dave that helps explain his work/process. "I grew up in Newton, next to Boston, but have been in Brooklyn for the past 18 years. I have always collected junk, and as a kid, I drew on my old adam/colecovision computer with a permanent marker. I drew on the old black and white tv we had in the attic. Drawing on top of things made them mine, and made them more than just junk. I did some drawings of Fred Flinstone as a kid and then added a mustache and told people they were drawings of my dad. I like modifying things to change their meanings." "I create functional artwork made from discarded pots at a community ceramic studio in Brooklyn, NY. The challenge is to make something new out of half-finished pottery.  I was never great at drawing from life, but I know how to put eyes and noses together to make some funny faces. The first ceramic studio I worked at had a big pile of unwanted pottery in the back yard that they let people glaze for free to test out different glaze combinations. I quickly became obsessed with drawing faces and writing notes on the discarded dishes. I loved that quick throw-away jokes could be applied to a material that, if not dropped on the floor, could last for thousands of years. " Dave Zackin Bio Dave Zackin is a designer and a fine artist working in New York City. Zackin earned a bachelor's degree in animation at the Rhode Island School of Design, a Master of Public Health at the Hunter/CUNY School of Public Health, and a Master in Urban Studies at Queens College. His short animated film, Tunanooda, was screened in more than eighty film festivals, including New Directors, New Films at Lincoln Center, and the Kodak New Filmmakers' Showcase at Cannes, and won top prizes at the Student Emmys and the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Zackin's work has been featured in Chronicle Books' The Where, They Why, and The How, and in Time Out New York Magazine. He is the designer of the now ubiquitous City of New York Public Space Recycling Bins, recycling how-to stickers and hundreds of posters, public health info-sheets, and other things for the City of New York.

And yes, we can put sex and drugs and Jesus all in the same bed and still be all right at the end of the day. My name is De'Vannon and I'll be interviewing guests from every corner of this world as we dig into topics that are too risqué for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your life.There is nothing off the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode.De'Vannon: Emily Dufton is an author, podcast host, and a drug historian who has blessed the world with a phenomenal book, which is entitled Grass Roots. The rise and fall and rise of marijuana in America. This book offers phenomenal advice for marijuana slash drug activists and encourages us to not arrest on our laurels, assuming that drug decriminalization is here to stay.Now, I fell in love with Ms. Emily when I discovered her while [00:01:00] listening to the, the. To The ReidOut podcast hosted by the great Joy-Ann Reid over on msnbc, and it was a surreal delight to sit down and talk with Emily about what's going on with drugs right now, as well as what was going on with drugs back then.Also, would like everyone to please check out our YouTube channel because for this very special episode, Emily and I have dawned our Halloween costumes. She's a hot dog, and I'm Fred Flintstone, and you have got to check them out. Have a super safe Halloween everyone.Hello and happy Halloween everyone, and welcome to this very special edition of The Sex Drugs in Jesus podcast. I wish you all a very, very spooky weekend. I have with me the great. Multi talented, multifaceted, delicious, and nutritious. Emily din, How are you, girl? Emily: Oh my God, I'm feeling delicious and nutritious.Thank [00:02:00] you. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for having me. I'm De'Vannon: so fucking lely. Like you look delicious and nutritious. So you're dressed as a hot dog. I am. So I'm curious and you told me, Previously that you're a hot dog every year, and so I've been wondering, so some years, are you like a vegan hot dog another year?You're like a Polish sausage. You switch up the bond, like how exactly does it go? Emily: Oh, the hot dog is in the eye of the beholder. I, that's how it is. I think, you know, I live in Tacoma Park, Maryland. It's known as the Berkeley of the East. I think many people see me as a tofu dog, as a beyond beyond.Hot dog. Others as DC adjacent, you know, were like, I could be a half smoke. I could be, I'm just I just wear this because it's a costume I found on the side of the street in Capitol Hill in DC where I was living at the time, and I thought, [00:03:00] This is amazing. Someone is just giving away a hot dog costume.I'm going to give it a home and I'm going to be a hot dog every year from now until it literally falls apart. And so that's why I'm a hot dog every year. De'Vannon: looks brand new. I love it. Emily: Thank you. It gets washed from time to time. De'Vannon: from time. Good time. Look, I love me a good wier girl. So , Emily: I could be, I could be the wier of your dreams.Who knows? Let's see. We can put the, the top up for a minute. See you. De'Vannon: It's great. That is one. Okay. All right. There y'all. So . So Emily is an author and a drug historian. She holds a PhD in American Studies from George Washington University. She is the author of a fabulous book called Grassroots, the Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America.Has to do with how, how, how, how, [00:04:00] how earnest hippies, frightened parents suffering patients and other ordinary Americans went to war over the marijuana. It was a little mm-hmm. description I had of that. Before we go much further, I wanna take a moment to give a shout out to Ms. Joy and re over at the readout on msnbc, because that is how I discovered.Oh wow. . I saw you on her podcast and then I heard what you had to say about your grassroots book, and then I fell in love with you and when I built up the courage and got, got, got more bodies of works under my belt, I sent you a message, you know, hoping and praying that you would respond and you did.And so, Emily: Paul touch my heart. I'm so happy to be here. And honestly, like I The idea that, that, oh, you would be at all nervous to talk to me, makes me just like ache a little bit on the inside. I'm so happy to talk to you and this is such an honor for me to [00:05:00] be here. We are. You wrote a book, We Are equals, We know, We know what it is to go into the, the pain cave of writing and, and try to create something intelligible and lengthy about complicated subjects.You know, so writer to writer, you and I are, we are. Eye to eye. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you. De'Vannon: The sausage and so, So I'm like a glittery version of Fred Flinstone because, As far as I'm concerned, we all know what Fred Freestone and Barney Rubble were really doing over in Bed Rock, Honey and Emily: Rock. I mean, come on.Yeah, it was right inDe'Vannon: Barney Rubs a total bottom. I know. It . So, So in your own words, I've given like my take on, is there anything you'd like to say about yourself, your own personal history or anything? Emily: Gosh. [00:06:00] Like, like about writing grassroots or about like what? Like about me as a human being. De'Vannon: Anything about you at all.Your favorite color, Favorite place you've traveled. We're gonna get into grassroots right after you. Tell us whatever you'd like to say. Just about yourself. Oh my at all since I've already given a little history, so you don't have to Oh, Emily: lovely. I'm a Piy, Sun Sagittarius, Rising Pisces Moon. I have two children a boy who's six and a little girl who's almost three.I'm working on my second book right now, which is about the history of medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, and I won a couple grants to fund the work, and it's been super awesome. And hopefully I'm gonna go to Switzerland either at the end of this year or the beginning of next year to compare addiction treatment programs over there with America's treatments.So those are, I think by far the most pertinent facts about me that everyone should, [00:07:00] should know. .De'Vannon: I think those are pretty damn good and relevant facts. the, the, the resurgence of healing with the drugs. Look, I just got back from Portland, Oregon dealing shrooms. And sell. So that is a cell aside, but, and what the fuck else I did?Mdm a I had never been shrooms before in my life and since I'm a veteran who suffers from ptsd, O C D and you know, all of these things and I saw on Netflix and the How to Change Your Mind documentary on PBS history of Mil illness. Documentary, how they've been using these hallucinogenics to help veterans.And I thought, Okay, I'm not gonna wait for this to be approved. I'm gonna fly my happy ass up here and do these shrooms. Man, it took seven grams for me to like fill anything. And apparently that's like a lot. And wow. I don't know, apparently besides the Emily: social work. Oh, that context. Yeah. So you did like an official, like, like clinical trial?It De'Vannon: wasn't a trial I paid for this. I [00:08:00] found a social worker who was willing to to do it in a psychiatric setting. Uhhuh, he feel like his woods are like an hour north of Portland into his cabin in the woods. So that, cuz he was like insistent that the environment be like, Right. And so it was like a guided assistant thing.It was, it was clinical, but I paid for it. I wasn't, I didn't wait for a trial Emily: to come. Totally, totally understood. That's awesome. How was it? Was it a good experience?De'Vannon: It follows me, so in a good way. So like if I smoke weed, it does not have an effect on me. I've tried different strands, different states, different times.I used to sell the hell out of it back in my drug dealing days, but I never fool with it too much. I used to sell shrooms. I never did 'em either. But I have discovered that if I do like a CBD gummy, I will be sitting around looking like EE from South Park. I feel that. But, so the, the C B D [00:09:00] does the same thing that the MDM A and the shrooms did.It quiet hit my mind. So I was expecting to have one of those like, really jerky experiences like I saw in the documentary, but that did not happen for me at all because my mind is always like this with the OCD and the PTSD and everything. Mm-hmm. . So for me, what those, what those hallucinogenics did was it just neutralized.And so I was just like, still just silent, quiet. And so I have found things that I used to, that I used to have anxiety over. I don't anymore. And so basically that peace, it, it attached itself to me in those, in that state of mind. Emily: I love that. So, so quieted your minds downed. How long did the quietness.De'Vannon: It's ongoing. So I was, while the drugs had their effect on me, okay, on this room, you know, the trees started to like move and the prints, you know, the pattern in the carpet started [00:10:00] dancing and doing his own thing and whatnot. So that was kind of freaky. But once that all settled down, , you know, you know, So it's not like it was, I, I have found, this has been like maybe three weeks ago that I was in Portland.It hasn't changed. You know, I still feel peace. It's like, and I experienced the same thing when I started experiment, the CBD gummies, which has only been like maybe two or three months ago. Mm-hmm. That I discovered that these gummies will have an impact on me. That's interesting. It's like, it's, it's a permanent thing with me.Emily: Wow. And have you had any kind of I don't know, like sessions or counseling or anything to kind of talk about like, But you know, sort of digesting the effects of it or like, maybe I don't even, I don't even know what the word is, but have, have you communicated at all with the guy who led the session since he, De'Vannon: He was, he is open to that and he wanted to schedule a follow up, but [00:11:00] I, and I can reach out to him if I want to, Emily, but I, I was ready, you know, like writing my blog and my books in the show and I see a, a social worker every week anyway.I see a licensed family marriage, the. A couple of times a month for me and my boyfriend, and then I see a hypno therapist once a month. And so I'm always professing and manifesting the change that I want. I went into it already. I didn't really embody to do too much handholding, and I'm all like, I'm ready to let this shit go.Like we talk about it, but it's already done . Emily: That's great. And this is the thing that allowed you to do that. Like you're just like, I just need that final push to get it out. Right. I love that there's a guy. Oh yeah. Sorry. Keep going. De'Vannon: You go, You're the guest girl. Oh, Emily: no. I'm just saying there's someone so I live right outside of DC in Tacoma Park, Maryland, and which I think I've said already but.There's this doctor who just moved here and [00:12:00] started a practice where he's doing exactly that. He's using Ketamine though. And so he's doing these like lead ketamine therapy sessions. And then afterwards he offers sessions to, I'm trying to remember like the verb he used. It wasn't like aggregate, but it was like to sort of like digest the experience.So you have this experience with ketamine that will hopefully release in the patient, the same kind of things that released in your experience. And then he would kind of provide the counseling or the, the therapy sessions to help sort of bring, make, make manifest the effects. And I thought, Oh my God, like, here it is.It's, it's, it's here. You know, like sort of this pro, this ability to access these drugs in a therapeutic. You know, private, like obviously like , you know, industrial way, but it's here. And God, that is like 10 years ago. I think experiences like yours are like the one that this doctor is offering would've been like [00:13:00] unimaginable.And yet now they're here and they're moving into all these communities. You know, it's not just Portland, Oregon, it's like here in, right outside of DC it's everywhere. And that to me is a totally fascinating aspect of like drug policy in the United States. It's wild. Totally. De'Vannon: I'm so happy to have it here too.But as you warn in your book grassroots that we're about to get into you know, these things tend to come and. At times. Yeah. Because this wasn't the first time that we were on the border of finding therapeutic uses for drugs before the drug war on drugs. Shut it down. Right. And so we're happy to have it back.And towards the end of the interview, I was most intrigued with the, the six lessons that you have for grassroots advocate for people at the end. And so I really gotta let you give that advice because I really feel like people need to hear that because people. Are feeling really grass rooty these days.It'll be . Emily: That's true. ,De'Vannon: it would be great for them to to to hear, hear [00:14:00] your advice so that they can be helped. Emily: I had to go get my copy. I haven't looked at that in a while. That's right. I forgot. I had like six little lessons in the back. Yeah. The one I remember, the Yes. Make your argument as sympathetic as possible was lesson one.Mm-hmm. . Because the more you center like a really sympathetic identity in the middle of your campaign, the more likely people are to. Feel bad for you and generate empathic warmth and support, right? Which is why you always see like puppies, like with their ribs exposed cuz they're starving in the rain, chained to a box and you're like, Please take my money to save the puppy.Lesson two. It's all about the money, which is exactly what we were talking about. Money buys influence. Lesson three, Be prepared to watch your progress disappear. Lesson four, don't rely too heavily on the White House. Lesson five, Respect your opposition and lesson six, keep a sense of perspective.Wow. I forgot I wrote these. That's so interesting. Yeah, [00:15:00] like, you know what's, Sorry, De'Vannon: keep going. No saying. So. We'll talk about those towards the end, cuz I thought those would be cute. Okay. So you can just kind of like, you know, peruse over that while we're going through. And and then of course people go by the books.So if you're a grassroots person and you wanna figure out. How to escape some pitfalls and things like that. I think this is a really good book and if you wanna have insight cause we're all also passionate about this, you know, this resurgence and everything. But I think that your book, you know, is like so evergreen, you know, in the, in the sense that, you know, it's an ongoing battle in this country because as you say, it's the rise, the fall, the rise, you know, it goes back and forth.There's no reason for us to be so arrogant as to assume that it can't fall again, because as you lay out in the book, every time we have. Arise for decriminalization. There's an opposing force that wants to fight that. Right. And so, and it was no different then. It's the same way now. So you wanted to give a warning though, for Halloween candy.I [00:16:00] wanted to be sure that we have time for that, because that was something you specifically requested. And so tell us your, this is, this is Emily's warning about this Halloween came to y'all. Oh Emily: my God. It's less of warning and just more of like a. I, I just every year, Well, this year in particular, I feel like there have been a lot of news stories about the rainbow colored fentanyl that apparently is going to show up in children's Halloween staes nationwide.And I love it because like, it just goes to show how. Drugs. The concept of drugs, right? When we talk about drugs, we're never just talking about drugs, right? We're always talking about larger issues and larger questions and larger ideas. And I feel like this, like the new fear of 2022, Halloween, 2022 of Fentanyl being dispersed widely in like Halloween candy is just, it's a really convenient vehicle for like political mud slinging, right?And. [00:17:00] You know, so the right can mud sling at the left by saying, Oh, it's the liberal's open border policies that is allowing Mexican cartels to funnel this rainbow colored fentanyl across the borders. And now it's gonna, now my kid's gonna eat it thinking it's a sweet tart and die. So that's how, like the right is mudslinging the left and then the left mud slings the right in return by saying, right.You're so stupid. No drug dealer is going to give away drugs for free. That is not how drug dealing works. . So there's just this and like, you know, so whenever we're talking about drugs, we're always talking about so much more than just drugs. Like there, like the concept of drugs is weighted with all of these other topics that we like, press upon it.And it becomes something that's like, kind of like a football, right? It's just always being thrown back and forth, you know? People are always going to use the concept of drugs or the concept of punishment or the concept of treatment as a political vehicle to achieve [00:18:00] other ends, right? Whether those are financial or moral or law enforcement, whatever.But I just feel like the Halloween candy saga that we go through every year is like kind of a good sort of visual entry point on to this topic that like, Drugs are always much more than just drugs, right? There are ways for us to discuss as Americans and as human beings, concepts that are obviously like much more complicated and oftentimes more complex than just like fentanyl or pot or whatever else itself.So I guess that's like my opening concept for conversation . De'Vannon: Yes, as a former drug dealer, I can attest to what Mr. Mrs. Dustin is saying is true. We don't to run around giving away drugs for free honey, especially not to little children who don't have money to come back and buy any once they get addicted.That's . Emily: It's, it is a profoundly bad marketing plan. No one [00:19:00] benefits from it. No one benefits . De'Vannon: But you know, just like, you know, as you state in your book You know, the fear mongering, you know, the fear mongering is like a big deal coming from the left. And so, I mean, coming from the right and so Emily: and sometimes the De'Vannon: left , it can, it can, mm-hmm.it pains me to say, but it's just so true. You know, Emily: sometimes we have to be honest about our own, you know, . De'Vannon: You know what? I don't, I don't, I don't want, I don't want a political party. I just wanna be like me. I just wanna be like me. I know. Whatever makes free to be you and me. What do you think about what Biden did though with the rolling back the the, the, the legal, the, the cases against people with the marijuana charges?Emily: I mean, it was really interesting, right? It was kind of came out in nowhere, right? He hadn't talked [00:20:00] much about. Marijuana policy at all on the campaign trail or during these first two years? I remember Kamala Harris during the Vice presidential debate was the very first presidential or vice presidential candidate to ever say during a debate, like, Yes, I support decriminalization.And she said that. So Kamala mentioned it, but like Biden never did. So he comes out and he makes this announcement and. Like it's immediate effect is going to be relatively small because the only marijuana convictions he's allowed to overturn are ones that he can control and he can only control federal convictions for possession.And that's not the, like that many it's about 6,500 nationally and it's, I don't know the number. No one would gave it. No one would give it. But it's also convictions for possession in DC because DC is federal. So that actually, that number might be more considerable than 6,500, but like I have not seen [00:21:00] a news outlet give it yet.But anyway, like that's pretty small compared to the millions of people who have been arrested. It's kind of a drop in the bucket. But what he also said was he was going to talk to eight, the Department of Health and HHS Health and Human. Services. He's going to talk to the FDA and he is going to talk to the DEA for the three federal agencies in charge of drug policy and talk about, and he wanted to talk about descheduling cannabis.So right now, pot is a schedule one drug and it's been a Schedule one drug since 1970. And, Being schedule one, that means that the federal government considers it to have no medical utility and a high risk for abuse, which is of course very silly. Since 1996, it became medical marijuana. So of course it has some medical utilities.Schedule one placement has been kind of nuts for at least since 1996. [00:22:00] He wants to talk about descheduling it, taking it outta the schedules completely. And if you deschedule a. That means it can become a legitimate legal marketplace item like cigarettes or alcohol. It could become a commercial product, and that is a really big decision.It's already kind of becoming a commercial product, but those industries are like very cottage still. Like there is a huge medical marijuana industry and there is a growing recreational cannabis industry, but there's still like, In the span of things, right, Like along the spectrum of, of products, it's still fairly small.So to deschedule it completely and turn it into a commercial product that would transform the cannabis industry in the United States and ultimately worldwide. So it's a huge decision. It's a huge, it's this, this the beginning of a huge conversation. So like right [00:23:00] after he made that announcement it was right before last weekend.People were like, I didn't really know what to make of it, honestly. But the more I've read, like things on Twitter from people I respect and some articles, the more I realize he's launching like a pretty huge conversation. And now would be the time for activists who are interested in creating, as, you know, equitable and kind.Fundamentally good natured and industry as possible, like now would be the time for them to really get involved because, you know, conversations about, about descheduling are happening and those are, those are important. And you know, the time to influence the marketplaces now cuz it's starting to take shape, which is crazy.I mean, it's like the same thing we were talking about before where like now you can go someplace and have like ketamine treatment, like these things are available. So it's time to figure out what, like we actually want the industry to look. De'Vannon: [00:24:00] Hell yeah. Something to tap into that energy and push it forward.I feel you on that. So, so, so in your book, you, you take us from like prohibition back in the first part of the last century, you know, all the way up to the day and I thought it was very artfully done. So I wanted to read a little excerpt about about the way. Marijuana was viewed back then from way back in 1917 from, from your book, if I may.And so those said, the 1917 report from the Treasury Department noted that in Texas only Mexicans and sometimes Negroes and lower class whites smoked the marijuana for pleasure and warned that that drug crazed minorities could harm or assault upper class white women. I felt like this, you know, that sort of thinking still informs policy today and I felt like when movies like The Terrible [00:25:00]Truth and Reefer Madness, which you mentioned, the book came out, I felt like that was like media's way of locking arms with the government and echoing what they're saying.And you don't really get into too religion deeply. But I feel like the church also. Touched and agreed. Yes. Emily: So, so the church was responsible for paying for the production of the movie Reef for Madness. I don't which church it, it was, I don't remember, but it was funded by Evangelical Christians. There you go.There's your connection. Mm-hmm. . De'Vannon: And see, I don't know, like, I, I hate the fact that the church. I would've rather the church stand up and say, You know what? It's not for the government to enforce morality because God is not forced. He's always gave the children of Israel a choice. He never came down here and mandated things in the way that we're trying to mandate them.So why don't we back off and leave this whole morality [00:26:00] thing to the church instead? The church was like, Well, we like to control people. The government likes to control people, so why don't we see if we can control them all together? Hmm. So I Emily: collaborate. Oh my God, it's so true. And it's been so powerful, like for so long, for so long.But it's true, like can you legislate morality? I mean, like, that's just this eternal question and you know, you really, you really can't, you can't punish someone until they're good. It just doesn't work that way. You. De'Vannon: No, nobody responds to that. You know, our children don't. And I love that your kids are like, pretty much the same age as my two kids, which happen to be like Maine Coon mixed cats.You know, My oldest boys about is about to be six in March, and then my girl is threeOh, Emily: we have babies the same age. That's so funny. That's crazy. Wild. But it's true, like you can't make them be good through [00:27:00] fear or punishment like ever. Ever and . And then it just always makes things worse. It always makes things worse. And that's why like, I mean, that's why it's so hard oftentimes to have like rational discussions about things like drugs or religion because like people just get too emotionally involved and you kind of think like, you're gonna, you're gonna believe my way or I'm going to hurt you.Like I'm going to defend this to the point of violence. And it's just like, that's why I , some people get mad at me. Grassroots because they felt like I didn't take a firm enough stand, you know, either way. And some people also like seem to have a really hard, a hard, they seem to have some difficulty with differentiating between smoking pot and writing about pot as like a historical phenomenon.So like a lot of people just like make these really dumb jokes, like yeah, I bet you're using a lot. Grass when you're writing grassroots or whatever. And I was like, No. I was writing like a [00:28:00] deeply researched, like historical book based off of my PhD dissertation. Like, no, I wasn't high the whole time. Like, that's ridiculous.But people were upset with me because I wasn't taking firm enough stand. Like I wasn't coming out like very strongly as an activist for legalization or, or alternatively against it. I didn't make my, my political position clear enough. And I don't know if. Like in the same way you're saying like, Well who should legislate morality?You know, in the same way, I don't feel like history books necessarily have to be legislating morality, right? Like I don't feel like I needed to tell people what to believe. I just wanted to tell them what happened and how we got here. So that as things move forward and as we continue to watch this really like unique historical period evolve, we'll be more prepared to understand.The potential downsides that might occur or the potential benefits that might occur, and like try to maybe guide the process [00:29:00] more toward the benefits, like rather than the downsides. So it's, you know, I do feel like there's a real need to understand drugs in like a non-emotional, non hot take, non, like just understanding them as like a historical artifact where.Certain things have happened from 1917 to today to create the world we live in, and we should probably understand how we got here. And so I wrote a book about it, , and now we're talking about it. All right, , De'Vannon: just bring it full circle. I love it. And you're right, your book is very energetically neutral. It is very energetically like neutral.Yeah, I did pick up on that. And you know, most of you know historians, they just tell what happened and so I, you know, I was interviewing somebody else and I was, and he had gotten some reviews that kind of roughed his feathers and I was telling him, You know what, I'll tell you the same thing. Like Amazon and all these different book places don't.Perform mental health test [00:30:00] on people who go in there and leave reviews . So there's no tell on what you're gonna get, so Emily: please gimme the most recent report from your therapist before you post on this review. . Oh my God. The best review I got was someone was really mad that I was mean to Nancy Reagan, and they were like, it's not like she committed tax fraud.Nancy Reagan's not that bad. And I was like, Is that your bar? Like tax fraud? Or? So that was everyone else's reviews on Amazon are almost all from my friends, so those are all nice that Perfect. They're all the friends. I ask like, Please leave an Amazon review for my book. Thank you. De'Vannon: Hey, nothing like that inner circle chosen family, baby.Oh baby. That person commented on the tax fraud, though, probably commits tax fraud and they were projecting that. Oh my Emily: god. 100%. De'Vannon: Yeah. . So I wanted to talk about Atlanta 1976 because. [00:31:00] I felt like Miss, Miss Marsha Sard, and I have to admit when I read that name immediately, Andrew DeMar Shinard from Rent from the MusicalOh my God. It came to my mind and I had to go look it up. I was like, Is there a relation here today, tomorrow for me? What's going on ? So, but there is no relation. So it's, it's Emily: inside a gay boy. No, I can't unsee it. I can't unsee it. De'Vannon: and Atlanta especially. Cause my boyfriend is from Atlanta, you know, from that area.And so Hills, well todo neighborhood. Marsha is you know, she's walks into like her teens having this party and everyone's. you know, paring it up. Her and her husband go out fine, like the weed butts and everything like that. And, and then she goes run snitch to all the other parents because of course there was other teenage there.And we all know [00:32:00] snitches get stitches, y'all. And so what I documented was the parents' reactions usually that the parents' reactions ran the gamut from shock, confusion, indignation, concern, denial, and hostility. Now in the book, you, you know, this woman is like, Slated to be a Democrat. Mm-hmm. . And so that really, really shocked me.And and her, her emotions. I don't feel like those emotions have changed over the years. I feel like that's the same way people react to Dave. Would you agree? Emily: Yeah, I think, I think you're onto something there. Yeah. Like it, it was her, her politics are really interesting. So Keith, she goes by Keith, which again is kind of.You have to get, wrap your head around this woman, this like mom of three who goes by Keith. And then it's hard cuz I'm also writing about Keith Strop, the founder of Normal, the National Organization for the reform of marijuana laws, which are like, you know, going gangbusters at this time. [00:33:00]So there's a lot of Keith's, you know, so keep the Keiths straight in your mind.But so Keith Shart is this mom She has a PhD in British literature. She's not teaching, but her husband is at Emory, and so she's like home with these kids. So like I see her as being really smart. probably pretty bored, right? Being home with kids, like when you have a PhD and you're clearly like a life of the mind kind of person.Being home with little kids can be like really boring and you can have like maybe a lot of leftover energy. And so she throws this like backyard birthday party for her 13 year old daughter. And like the kids are acting weird and she's kind of freaking out and she sees like they're up in their bedroom, like looking out in the backyard, her and her husband and they see the lighters flicker in the bushes, but they assume it's cigarettes.But the kids are like really acting funny. And so once everybody leaves, they go into the backyard and they're searching around and they [00:34:00] find. Roaches. And they also find like, like alcohol containers, right? So the kids aren't just smoke smoking pot, they're, they're drinking too. , The scandal, the scandal 13, I mean 13 is young.Like for, like, I was not, I was not playing those games at 13, but I understand that my experience is not the experience of everyone. And, and now I'm like, as a mom, I'm kind of like, Oh, if I caught Henry doing that, like I'd be probably be pretty pissed. But but anyway, so she. She goes into like hardcore activist mode, like right away, you know, she was like, Boom.And she is buoyed by the concepts of. Second wave feminism that are like really prominent at the time where you do consciousness raising groups and you get together with people who are sharing your same experience and you talk about it, right? Because the personal is political and you try to figure out a way to change society for the better.Like that is very much like the kind of social [00:35:00] milu that shoe hard is coming from in, in 76 in Atlanta. Because remember, like Atlanta's pretty liberal at this time. Like Jimmy Carter is governor and he is running for president. You know, like it's the bicentennial. Everybody's like super patriotic, right?It's an interesting time. So she gets together with all the other parents and she's like, Our kids are smoking pot. This seems to be an issue like this. This. This is, this is something we should probably pay attention to. And she kind of blames it on the fact that for the past three years, more and more states had steadily been decriminalizing marijuana possession.So it started in Oregon in 73, but by 76, I think there were probably like,Probably like six, five or six states by that point that had decriminalized, right? Georgia wasn't one of them, but others did. And so there's this burgeoning drug paraphernalia industry, like basically just like today, this was happening in the mid, the early [00:36:00] 1970s where like. A semi-legal cannabis marketplace was taking shape in America.And when a marketplace builds and expands, more people tend to utilize it. So more people were using pot, more people were smoking pot, and then it was trickling down and it was getting to kids. So like Keith Shoe hard's, daughter 13 found some pot and was smoking it at her birthday party. And like that made shard really upset.So even though she was a Democrat and she was a liberal, She was really opposed to what the liberal agenda had pushed, which was decriminalization. So she starts basically a nationwide grassroots army of parents to overturn decriminalization laws and kind of stop the burgeoning paraphernalia industry.And it just so happens that in 1984 years later, when Ronald Reagan gets elected, he takes their concept. Nationalizes [00:37:00] it further and then turns it into federal policy. So it was the parent movement that gave us basically the entire concept of just say no. So yeah, the 1980s were birthed in the 1970s in Atlanta, Georgia in 1976.De'Vannon: Right. And right. Thank you for breaking that down so beautifully. And I, and I felt like from, from the way that you wrote, you really, really wanted people to know the importance that small community groups like this actually, the impact that they have on federal policy, not as, so that we don't undervalue this or underestimate.Totally. Emily: And so it's amazing. Well, when you tap into a zeitgeist like that, like, like what, what Shoe hard and other people in Atlanta tapped into was something that And ended up people were feeling nationwide. And that's the exact same thing that was happening with medical marijuana laws. And it's the exact same thing that's happening with legalization laws now.I mean, people are tapping into like it's a zeitgeist straight now. You know? Like more like I think Maryland, where I live is, I think we're [00:38:00] voting to legalize this. I think we're voting to legalize next month. Like it's movement, baby. It's movement. De'Vannon: May the force be with you? May Emily: the force be, I think it'll pass pretty easily.I think it'll pass pretty easily. Now it's just a matter of what the market will look like, what we'll actually do with it in the. Which is crazy. It's a De'Vannon: step. The thing that stood out to me about Mrs. Manas, was she, she, she kept saying like, it was like, for the children, you, the children, half of the children, you know, I'm getting like flashbacks to one division, you know, for Disney when they're, you know, her and vision, you know, Wanda Envision, you know, wanting to max him off.Yeah. Marvel, you know, I'm like, geeking out right now. But , they kept saying that thing for the children and there weren't any fucking children. Because she had, she had put 'em all to sleep, but she, I, I was like, Okay, I wonder if she asked the children what they want or was she just using them to enforce her agenda every time?I see like a [00:39:00] politician, especially like, I mean, you know, especially like the Republican and stuff like that, wanting to enact negative policies on behalf of veterans. For instance, me being a military veteran, I always, I'm like, I don't want you to do that. Like everything you're doing, I don't want you to do.You didn't ask me . So, but they're like, Our veterans wouldn't want my choice. Yeah. no. And so, I don't know. That stood out to me like right, like the children, but they don't. I don't know what to call that. What do you call that when people do that? Are they, are they calling themselves doing it in the name of righteousness?Are they getting, Now you're a parent now, so you have this feeling. Would you go and do something this adverse on behalf of your children without consulting their opinion FirstAnd I don't understand Emily: that they prefer that. Right. They would love to, they'd love to gimme their opinions. Right. But you know, I. I think you're to a really important question, right? Which is like, [00:40:00] where do the rights of children end and the rights of adults begin, right? So like when, when Keith, Shar, and every and everybody else in the parent movement is saying, Oh my God.We have to repeal decriminalization laws because of the children. Like do it for the children. The children are being harmed by these drugs. But then that transforms from like, we have to have these laws for the children to, We have to excessively punish. Adults for drug possession or dealing or whatever else excessively punish them.Like especially after the 1986 Drug Abuse Act, right? When you're getting mandatory minimums of 5, 10, 15 years when we're locking up millions of people for drug possession. Like where does the rights of children end And like the range of adults in and the pushback to that. But what about the children line of thought did finally start to come in the nineties, right?[00:41:00] When marijuana legalization efforts dovetailed with the gay rights movement in what I think is just one of the most fascinating, like historical co ever, right? So in California, in San Francisco, as AIDS is starting to. Decimate the gay population. You have a couple of activists, including Dennis Perran and Brownie Mary Rath Fund, whose real name is Mary Jane, which is crazy.They're using marijuana to like give to these aids patients who, like doctors don't wanna touch, nobody wants to get near them. No one knows what to do. No one knows how to treat hiv. It's brand new. Right? And Brownie Mary and Dennis Perran are. Have a, have a pot and infuse brownie, like you're gonna get your appetite back, Your nausea is gonna chill out.You're gonna feel pretty good. You're gonna have some energy. You can like go to the [00:42:00] bank. You can do like an errand right before you die. A horribly of aids like my God. Right? So they're saying, where did the rights of children end? Yes. We kept children so safe from pot that like by the early eighties, like no one is smoking pot anymore and we're locking.Tens of thousands of people, right? Like every month, right? Okay, great. We've done it. We won the drug war. But now it turns out this substance does have some medical utility for a patient group that is increasingly becoming like really sympathetic. You know, like cuz you have, I mean Arthur Ash contracts, hiv God, that little boy got it through like a blood transfusion or something.So you start to like have like really sympathetic feelings towards, Oh, Princess Diana visits the HIV clinic in the San Francisco General Hospital. Right? Like suddenly it becomes really sympathetic and laws start to change, right? Suddenly adults rights, especially like adults dying of AIDS and cancer, like their rights become much more important than protecting children from pot.And then, [00:43:00] Can kind of move like fast forward into the two thousands. 2010, the legalization movement joins with the social justice movement. So in 2010, Michelle Alexander publishes her book The New Jim Crow, Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color Blindness, which is canonical at this point. Canonical, I tell you, and like it is all.The effects of locking up nonviolent offenders, the vast majority of which are black men. Like, well, what have we done in America By locking up millions of people, more people, more black people are incarcerated in the United States than in South Africa at the height of apartheid. Like what effects does that have culturally, socially, economically?It has effects. And she lays them out and we're all like, Oh my God. Now we know. And laws started to change right after that, right? In 2012, you have the first states legalized Colorado and Washington by combining legalization [00:44:00] with calls for social justice, right? If cannabis is the source of massive amounts of black incarceration, legalized cannabis, right?That's one way to like act on social justice, and it was also legalized through. Outright calls for generating tax revenue, right? Like here is something that we can legalize and tax the be Jesus out of. And not only are we like doing good on social justice initiatives, but we're also gonna make a boatload of money.Like it's a total win-win at the moment. And that's basically, again, arguments for the rights of adults, right? Should we, should we incarcerate X number of million of people, millions of people for cannabis possession? So again, like. Argument for its children's rights, which was like so immensely powerful in the 1970s and eighties has now I would say, really been pushed to the back burner by almost three decades of really concerted and very powerful and very influential activism for adults rights to access cannabis, [00:45:00] for medical, and then social justice and economic initiatives.De'Vannon: And that's the tea. Y'all, Y'all have it? Emily . Emily: There's, there's 50 years of cannabis history guys. Woo. . De'Vannon: And, you know, I work with you know, so many people right now, and I, and I, I love how you, I feel like your book is almost like a, a user's manual for people who wanna get into this fight. You know, you're giving historical context, you're giving advice and everything.And so You know, I'm thinking about, you know, a friend of mine if her name is iFit Harvey, she runs the people of Color Collective. People of color, Psychedelic Collective, which is based out of New York City. And you know, and I, and I work with them, you know, I just did an interview, you know, for, I gave them an interview the other day and we were talking about like you know, marijuana, you know, the way it's, you know, criminalized here in Louisiana where I live versus where one of their.[00:46:00]Satellite locations is in Oregon, in Portland. And so, you know, things like this are very helpful you know, for young people cuz these people are really, really like young who have started this, you know, psychedelic collective and everything like that. And so I think, yeah. Right. I think books like this are so like, useful.So we're nearing the end of our hour and so I just wanted to mention. You mentioned normal earlier. I wanna tell people that stands for the I think you said, at the National Organization for the Reform rather than repe of marijuana laws. And then we'll go right into talking about like your your lessons and things like that.And, and we may just pick like one or two that that's important to you. But and so another little, a final ex sweep from the book. I'm channeling my inner Bugs Bunny, so an ex. From the book, it says normal, you know, or ML argue that marijuana smokers or consumers not deviance and deserve the same rights to protection and [00:47:00] safety as any other group.Including access to the drug without pollutants or contaminants. A competitive marketplace free from monopolies and conglomerates, and especially freedom from harassment by the poll lease. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. felt like a, a Southern Sunday. GodEmily: I love it. I want you to record the audio book. That's great. I love it. . De'Vannon: Oh, I'll do it. I love getting on this microphone right here and do it. I did my own audio book. Oh, that's awesome. And so I wanted to bring that up because like you had normal fighting for it. You had Miss, Miss Minnaar fighting against it back then.Like you say in the book, we have the same thing now because I don't want people to wrestling their laurels and get so comfortable thinking that it's a home run. It's a clean slate. You know? We must stay vigilant. Emily: Mm. Yes, totally. I think that's, I mean, it, it does [00:48:00] feel like to me, I feel like. Pot becomes the scariest drug around when there's no other boogie in.So in like the 1970s, early 1970s when the first decriminalization laws were being passed, we're also kind of going through a heroin epidemic, right? And right now we've been going through the opioid epidemic for like, whoa, 30 years or so, . But it's kind of coming to its natural. At the same time that the legal cannabis marketplace is really starting to heat up and when opioids become like, when there's no like, like meth was a boogieman for a while.Crack was a boogieman for a while, but opioids have been a bo the boogieman for like 30 years. And if that starts to tamp down, if we start to feel less scared about that and there's like sort of like a void in like the drug boogieman cuz you know, we always need a drug boogieman. We're America, we need a drug boogieman and.Pot. Well sometimes I think come back and fill that [00:49:00] role. Like there, there could be widespread rejection of the legal marketplace. I mean, in certain places, right? Like in Massachusetts that legalized. However long ago, some communities don't want it, and they are allowed to say within that state's jurisdiction.We do not want any cannabis marketplaces within our community borders. So there's gonna be some nimbyism and there's going to be some nimbyism like, yes, in my backyard to it. But again, it's, you don't know what's like, we don't know what's going to happen. This is a brand new marketplace that could bust its boots like.I mean, it's been around for a decade now, which is amazing. But things are gonna get big fast and if people don't like it, it could very well turn, turn back around. I mean, that's not impossible. It's not, it's improbable, but not impossible. Mm-hmm. . De'Vannon: So what I'll do in the interest of time, I'll just read the title of each of the six letter , then people can go and buy the book to get the advice that you have in there.Do it. I think that and after I [00:50:00] read the titles, and I'll let you have our last word. . Which is a, which is another a page I borrowed from the book of Joy read because she she always gives her guests, you know, like the last word and everything like that. And so I thought you a good idea. I'm very inspired by that woman, and so, oh, I love it.So, lesson one, make your argument as sympathetic as possible. The lesson two, it's all about the money. lesson three. Be prepared to watch your progress disappear. That's the most shocking one for me and in my inten, in my opinion, the most sobering, less than four. Don't rely too heavily on the White House, and she means over multiple administrations.And then less than five, respect your opposition, less than six. Keep a sense of perspective, which is also a statement of humility. So her website is emily din.com, Social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, India, [00:51:00] Instagram, medium. Oh podcast.

As entrepreneurs, we tend to isolate ourselves from other business owners. This lack of connection can prevent you from adding as many doors as you could be.  Join property management growth expert, Jason Hull as he shares one of DoorGrow's best strategies for adding doors: the Neighbor Strategy. This strategy will help you form mutually beneficial relationships and alliances with neighboring property management companies that feed you doors. You'll Learn… [01:44] The Issues that Come With Being an Entrepreneur [04:29] Someone's Garbage is Your Golden Prospect [05:50] Finding Two Kinds of Property Management Partners [08:47] The 3 Steps for Turning a COLD Lead into a WARM Lead [14:12] Why a Rising Tide Raises All Ships [16:47] Growing Your Business Without Internet Marketing Tweetables “The problem that exists with entrepreneurs is that we are not focused a lot of times on connecting with other entrepreneurs, so a lot of times what we experience as entrepreneurs in our journey is some sort of isolation.” “I think entrepreneurs, after we taste freedom, we become unemployable. We're just not gonna be great employees because we want to control our destiny and once we have freedom and once we have fulfillment, we then want to contribute.” “So by giving out some referrals, you're creating a partnership, you're creating people that are going to probably feel obligated to reciprocate and send similar referrals back to you.” “You could be adding 5, 10, 20 doors a month just from all the referral partners that you've built using the neighbor strategy from other property managers.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive TalkRoute Referral Link Transcript [00:00:00] These relationships can be very strategically effective and they can, once you've built up enough of them, that alone could be enough doors coming in every month that keeps you fat and happy. You could be adding 5, 10, 20 doors a month just from all the referral partners that you've built using the neighbor strategy from other property managers. All right. Welcome, DoorGrow Hackers to the # DoorGrowShow. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives, and you are interested in growing in business and life, and you're open to doing things a bit differently. Then you are a DoorGrow Hacker. DoorGrow Hackers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. Many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate, high-trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income.   [00:00:56] At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry. Eliminate the BS, build awareness, change the perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. I'm your host property management growth expert, Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow. Now let's get into the show.    [00:01:21] So, this is a special episode because I'm gonna share with you one of our secret tools. It's so simple, you will kick yourself after hearing it, but it's one of our most effective strategies for getting clients to add doors. And what I find is very few property managers throughout the U.S. or beyond are doing this strategy, which seems crazy. So let's talk about the problem. The problem that exists with entrepreneurs is that we are not focused a lot of times on connecting with other entrepreneurs, so a lot of times what we experience as entrepreneurs in our journey is some sort of isolation. Like we get feedback, negative feedback, constantly from the world if you're an entrepreneur personality type that you should just not change things because you're making everyone uncomfortable. Entrepreneurs are people that move society forward, take risks, change things, and school is not built for that. The school system is built for people to be good employees, not business owners, so in the majority of the people out there, they primarily want safety and certainty. This is a higher priority or value for most people than freedom or fulfillment or contribution or support. I call those the four reasons for entrepreneurs. We care more about freedom and fulfillment than we do about having safety and certainty than having a stable, safe 9-5 job.   [00:02:46] And some of you may have just felt that pressure and eventually gave up that stable 9-5 job to take a risk to start a business, maybe it's your property management business. I remember taking that leap. It's a scary leap, but it's a leap that once you take, you never want to go back because you experience freedom and you taste freedom and then I think entrepreneurs after we taste freedom, we become unemployable. We're just not gonna be great employees because we want to control our destiny and once we have freedom and once we have fulfillment, we then want to contribute. We want to make a difference out there. We want to benefit other people. I get to experience a really awesome or decent level of freedom and fulfillment in my position at DoorGrow and what I do at DoorGrow. I love getting to coach, mentor, and support, and help business owners grow their businesses. And once we start to experience that fulfillment and freedom in our business, the next thing we want to do... it's not enough just to make money and just to feel like we can do what we want to do. We want to make a difference in the world. So it becomes outward-focused.    [00:03:53] We want to contribute. So I'm going to contribute something, I think significant today that I think everyone in the industry should hear this and should know. I recommend you share this episode with every property manager that neighbors you or that you know, and the title of this episode is "The Neighbor Strategy." This is all about the neighbor strategy and how you can help grow your property management business by being a good neighbor, right? And connecting with your neighbors, so that means other property managers. So let me share with you this strategy, and it's really simple. It's really simple.   [00:04:29] So the idea is... here's the problem: the problem is you're not connected to these other property managers. So you get a phone call and somebody says, "Hey, do you manage in Tucson, Arizona?" for example. And you're like, "No, I only do Phoenix-- downtown," or something like that. "I only do Phoenix, Arizona." And they say, "Okay, cool. Goodbye," right? So what you just did is you took perfectly good gold, right? this great lead, and you took it and it's not something you can mine. It's not reachable by you. It's not near where you cover, so you just threw in the trash. Well, I guarantee if the table were turned and you knew that there was a property manager and you were in Phoenix and they were in Tucson and somebody called them up and said, "Hey, do you manage in Phoenix?" and they said, "Actually, no." And they said, "Okay. Alright. Oh, cool. Okay, bye," you'd be like, oh my gosh, I would love to have that, right? That's gold for me, but they just threw it in the garbage. So real simple, the strategy, the neighbor strategy as I call it is to reach out to all the property management companies that are your neighbors that get potential referral opportunities that they could give to you and be their friend and connect with them and to establish a neighbor referral relationship.   [00:05:50] So there's two types of neighbors that you're looking for. So the obvious would be neighbors that are outside of your market. These are property management companies that do the same thing as you, perhaps, maybe they target other niches. Maybe you do single-family residential, maybe they do as well, but they're outside of the market that you geographically cover. So it'd be reaching out to these neighbors and saying, "Hey, if you get a lead, blah, blah, blah, like send 'em our way. If it's outside your market and it's in the area we cover, send 'em to us," conversely, you doing the same for them, right? And creating these strategic alliances and these relationships... really obvious. I have clients that are getting doors every month, just handed to them. You know, one of the members of my team who has a property management business just got five units just a month or two ago, handed to her just by a neighboring property management company that was one of our clients that I say, "Hey, you two should connect. Your markets neighbor each other," and they got connected, and now they're sending business back and forth all the time.    [00:06:57] Now the other category, the second group that you also can connect with also a very effective group are not people outside your market. It's actually property managers inside your market that are in your market, but they do a different niche or niche of property management than you do. They target a different niche, right? A different segment, and what I mean by that is they're focused on a different category or type of property management than you are. So say you do single-family residential and small multi, which is typical for a lot of my clients. You could reach out to commercial management companies in your market.   [00:07:35] You could reach out to association management companies in your market. You could reach out to storage unit and mobile home park management companies in your market because I guarantee that, especially associations, maybe commercial, they are getting requests. They're fielding requests occasionally for residential property management or the type of management that you do, and they just throw it in the garbage. They might have a referral partner, or they might say, "Well, you could talk to this company," but you want to be top of mind for them and create those relationships. And so it's real simple: you just call them up and you share this gold versus garbage analogy that I just shared with you just say, "Hey, sometimes I get this thing that comes to me, and then I just throw in the garbage and I know it's perfectly good gold that somebody else would want.   [00:08:27] And they'll be like, "Yeah, me." And I'm sure you have this situation happen gold versus garbage. You explain the scenario again like somebody calls you up and you're like, "Hey. I would love to have that. Like, we should totally be friends. We should totally be friends," and they're gonna laugh, and they're gonna say, "Yeah, you're right. Like we should do this," right? Really simple. Share the gold versus garbage. Now I'm gonna take this even to the next level and share one of our secrets in our program. This is a secret of how you take a cold lead-- this is a cold lead typically coming in-- and how you convert it into a warm lead before you send it to them, and it changes the close rate on the lead from 10%, which is typical on a cold lead to 90%, maybe as a warm lead. It converts it into a warm lead. The difference between a cold lead and a warm lead is trust, its nurture. And nurturing those through trust so that they're hot enough to close. So here's how you convert this lead that came to you cold asking for property management that you can't service...   [00:09:28] So here is the formula. It's three simple steps to ensure that there is a high percentage close rate that's gonna happen. So the first step is Capture: capture the lead. That's the first step. The second step after you capture the lead, which means get their phone number, get their name, get their property info, whatever. Capture all the information. "Hey, you know what? I don't service there, but let me get your info. I have something really cool. I'm gonna share with you." Capture the lead. That's step one. Step two is share the information of the other company like, "This other company. Here's their name. Here's their phone number. You should talk to them." now, if you really want this to be effective, here's the third step, and you want to make sure that every referral partner neighbor in the neighbor strategy you create, you wanna share with them: do these three steps. Explain it just like this or share this video with them. Just share this video or podcast episode with them and say, "I'm gonna send you something super cool. Here's what I'm thinking. This dude named Jason, he runs a company called DoorGrow and he shared this strategy and I thought it was really clever, and you should hear him explain it."    [00:10:37] So the third step, this is the most important is you amplify. This is how you convert it from a cold lead to a warm lead. So amplification, the way you amplify this, or you convert it into a warm lead is you add trust. So example: I get a lead. I can't service it and I'm like, "Well, let me get your info. Let me give you a name and number of a company. And let me tell you a little bit about them. This property manager, his name is, you know, Fred Flintstone over in, Rubble America or to this city that you need. He is amazing. He is the best property manager in that market. If I had a rental property over there, that's where I would send it. I highly recommend you talk to, you know, Barney Rubble or Fred Flintstone," you get the idea, right? I'm using the Flintstones as an example, but you talk them up. Like you say "They are the go-to one that you should be working within that market. We don't cover it, but if you're gonna work with somebody and you have a property over there, that's the one you should be working with. They've got good reviews. They've got a great process. They have a great business coach. They work with DoorGrow. They're really amazing." Whatever you can say about them to talk them up and help qualify them in the prospect's mind as the best company for them to go with.    [00:11:52] So then they're going to go, "Wow. That other company turned me down, won't service me, but recommended this other one, and I wasn't even sure if I was going to go with them, but they talked this company up highly. I'm gonna talk to 'em." Now because you did steps one and two capture and share there's two opportunities for this deal to happen. The owner client may reach out to the property manager. So there's that potential opportunity, or you then capture that lead, right? You capture their info and you're gonna text it to this buddy or friend, this business owner and send it over to them. And say, "Hey, I just gotta lead. Get on this." Why? Because leads are good for maybe about the first five to 10 minutes after the first 10- 15 minutes, most lead conversion rates drop like 80%. They drop significantly because they're just gonna call the next company and move on, so by giving them the phone number they can call, they can call the property manager. Hopefully, you're answering your phones. And if you're the recipient of this referral, you're gonna answer the call right away. Second, you're gonna get a text message. So hopefully you get the text message and they see that they call even before. So they're like, "Hey, I just texted over to my friend, Fred Flinstone who managed these properties over there, or Bonnie Rubble, his associate. And they'll probably reach out right away, but here's their information, so you can contact them right away.    [00:13:08] Two opportunities, right? Two ways that this can get to them, this referral and this relationship can happen. That then builds goodwill with this other property manager. It creates friendship, there's an alliance there, and they're going to feel a natural need to reciprocate in the future. So by giving out some referrals, you're creating partnership, you're creating people that are going to probably feel obligated to reciprocate and send similar referrals back to you. And so this is the neighbor strategy. So I hope you like this. It is a super simple idea, but we've been sharing this with clients and it's just one little thing to add to the cool referral engines and warm lead strategies that we use at DoorGrow to help our clients grow. This is more of a long game, but you can go and reach out to-- strategically-- and we have scripts for this and we give our clients lists of property managers in their market and outside their market, they could reach out to, so we support our clients in this strategy, but you could very easily do this on your own if you want to, without DoorGrow's help, you can do this on your own, and I really believe a rising tide raises all ships.    [00:14:15] Well, not necessarily some ships won't raise when the tide raises because they're just sitting on the bedrock. They're sitting on the dirt, they're sitting on the sand and that tide goes up... some are going to sink. And I'm cool with that. Like the shittiest, suckiest property management companies should sink, but if you are one of those and you wanna patch up the holes or you're an awesome company and you want to be bigger and better reach out to DoorGrow, we would love to support you in this. This is just one of several strategies that we use with our clients so that they can build this awesome referral engine and funnel of business coming to them. And the cool thing about the neighbor strategy is you can have a hundred different companies. We've got clients in Florida that are getting people in New York and, I think Michigan, there's some sort of connection between Michigan and people going to Florida or having property in Florida. I don't know, and some of these property managers might have clients right now that they're servicing in their market that are in your market that they could connect you to and say, "Hey, I've actually got a client right now that has some units in your market." and so these relationships can be very strategically effective and they can, once you've built up enough of them, that alone could be enough doors coming in every month that keeps you fat and happy. You could be adding 5, 10, 20 doors a month just from all the referral partners that you've built using the neighbor strategy from other property managers.   [00:15:37] Not only that, you may find a mentor, you may find a friend, you may find somebody that you can support and mentor yourself, but I really believe 'a rising tide raises all ships' is a true phrase. Or some sink, right? I mentioned that. Reach out, create these relationships, and let's grow the entire industry. There is no scarcity in property management right now. In the U.S... I was talking to an Australian, did a lot of research, one of the coaches I recently hired and he did a lot of research on property management in his own market. So he was ready to get on a call with me. And when I explained to him that in the U.S., Only about 30% of rental properties are professionally managed and single-family residential. While Australia, he's like, it's so commonplace. It's like 80%. He was blown away. He was like, "That's crazy. There's so much opportunity in the U.S. So much opportunity." There is no scarcity, but they're not looking online. So if you're trying to figure out: "How can I get more business and create more market share instead of fight over that 30% that are already using property managers and try and get them away from another company, which generally never happens. How can I grow my business faster without doing any advertising without doing internet marketing?" Come talk to DoorGrow.    [00:16:53] This is what we help our clients do. One of our clients added 310 doors in the last year. That would be impossible. No matter how much advertising he did, he wouldn't have had the bandwidth. He wouldn't have the sales team that could handle that many leads, do all that follow-up, but warm leads close, easier, faster and more efficiently. And he did that with only five or six realtor referral partners, but he used our strategies and he contacted a thousand, right, just to find those. He had to kiss a few frogs, but we've got some really effective strategies. It's not what you think. It's not the typical way as people try and get referrals. You probably get some occasionally. Here's the thing, the secret there is that nobody wants property management. Nobody's actively, generally looking for it usually, unless they're at the very end of the sales cycle and they're searching online and they're the worst, the most price sensitive. How do you capture that 70% that don't think they need it, but they probably do, you can solve their problems and are not looking for it? That's what we share at DoorGrow. So, one of our top strategies, so reach out to us. We'd love to help you grow your business. And tell us in the comments, if you started doing this, if you've got some good neighbor partners, we'd love to hear about it. And if you hear about this episode and come on board as a client, let us know. We'd love to hear that this has been helpful for you. And until next time, to our mutual growth.

In this special COVID-19 episode of the BG Ideas podcast, we talk with Dr. Lori Liggett, who researches popular images from the women's suffrage movement. Liggett is a Teaching Professor in the School of Media and Communication and a Spring 2020 Faculty Fellow.   Announcer : From Bowling Green State University and the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society, this is BG ideas. Musical Intro: I'm going to show him this with a wonderful experiment. Jolie: Welcome to the Big Ideas podcast, a collaboration between the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society, and the School of Media and Communication at Bowling Green State University. I'm Dr. Jolie Sheffer, Associate Professor of English and American Culture Studies, and the Director of ICS. This is a special episode of the podcast, which we are recording during the COVID-19 pandemic. That means we're not in the studio, but are talking via phone and computer. Our sound quality will be different as a result. Jolie: But now more than ever, I thought it was important to share with you some of the amazing work being done by members of the BGSU community. Even, or especially when conditions are challenging, we need to recognize and celebrate great ideas. As always the opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the individuals involved, and do not necessarily represent those of BGSU or its employees. Today I'm speaking with Dr. Lori Ligate, a Senior Lecturer at BGSU in the School of Media and Communication who's teaching and research focus on gender and visual culture. She's a spring of 2020 ICS faculty fellow who is doing public scholarship focused on images of womanhood in popular media during the era of women's suffrage. I'm really pleased to get to talk with you today, Lori. Thank you for being flexible and joining me, virtually. Lori: Thank you. I appreciate it. Jolie: To start off, could you tell us a little bit about how you got interested in studying the era of women's suffrage? And what have been some of the more interesting and surprising directions that this research has led you? Lori: Right. Well, basically I got involved in studying the suffrage movement about 25 years ago, and it wasn't my original intent. I was studying women's service magazines of the late 19th century. Women's service magazines are things like Godey's Ladies Book, which was one of the first one. Then you segue into things like Good Housekeeping. Lori: I was interested in motherhood, domesticity from a sociopolitical point of view. As I was doing decades of looking at literally every issue of Good Housekeeping, I started seeing this pivot from talking about new household technologies, and cooking procedures and new techniques for mothers, and into more political stuff. And immediately I was hooked. And of course, I knew a little bit about the suffrage movement, but I hadn't seen it within that context. And it shocked me, because there were actual literary essays that would appear in the service magazines. Lori: I also started seeing it in advertising, just references were popping up everywhere. And when I really got into it was probably around the, I would say, 1908, 1910 issues. When you started seeing, and remember this as Good Housekeeping, references to militarism, to women becoming militant, to radicalism. Now, this is Good Housekeeping. I guarantee you, if you were to go to the newsstand today and pick up a Good Housekeeping, you would not see anything on radicalism and militancy. I was shocked. Lori: This was largely due to what was going on in Great Britain at the time. And a leader in Great Britain, one of the leaders, is the famous or infamous Emmeline Pankhurst. And the British movement had become militant at that point. We started to see the beginnings of that in the American suffragist movement. I just never imagined I would see it in Good Housekeeping. So that's the origins of it. Jolie: And what were some of the elements of your research that surprised you most? You said that the language of militancy, but what about some of the visual iconography? Lori: Well, I expanded from there over the last 25 years, I guess I would consider myself a media scholar, but I really focus on visual culture and visual communication. I've always been attracted to the images of things. When I study media, I'm interested in mediated images. And so I was already studying advertising. Lori: This was a long way to get to the bicycling stuff that I'm doing now, but I am a fanatic about the art nouveau movement, which was late 1880s, at full steam in the 1890s, less popular, but still very prevalent up until the start of World War I. I started seeing images of women in advertising that was very much art nouveau style, but would have a political element. In a lot of those images, I noticed that they were using the bicycle. And so you would see women on bicycles, advertising everything from soap to cigars, to carpeting, to flour. Things that had nothing to do with bicycling, but you would see a woman and a bicycle. Lori: I was just fascinated by that. And I started collecting images of women on bikes. Basically, what I was doing, I was downloading JPEGs, and just keeping an archive, trying to figure out what to do with it. At some point, I would say probably in the 1970s, definitely by the eighties, and certainly the nineties and throughout, you started to see more scholarship on the suffrage movement that wasn't what we would call traditional history. Lori: I was a grad student in the nineties, and so looking at material culture and the sociopolitical angle of political culture, it sort of brought everything together for me. So we've got these visual images, we've got advertising, we've got women's politics, we've got for some reason the bicycle, which I didn't understand at that point. And really a couple of decades later, it leads me to the project that I'm working on now. Jolie: Tell us a little bit about some of that research, and what have you discovered was the role or the purpose of all of that focus on the bicycle? What is the connection to women's voting, and changing women's rights? Lori: I had to backtrack and learn a lot about bicycle history. I'm certainly not an expert, but I know a lot more about bicycle history than I did, let's say nine months ago, let's put it that way. And so the bicycle itself is just a fascinating global phenomenon. Today we would look at a bicycle and almost all of us, regardless of gender, of where you live in the world, the bicycle has been part of your life at some point. There's reason for that, which is that the bicycle represents the first device that permitted human beings to self mobilize. Lori: In the 1600's, there are images of people on these things that kind of look like a bike. People were imagining something along those lines. But it takes until about, I think the date is 1817, and you have a German guy, his name was Karl Von Drais, or Dryas probably. He developed this thing called a running machine. Now what was the running machine? They were also called hobby horses, or dandy horses. Another name based on his name was a Draisine. What it was is it was something that looked like a bicycle, two wheels. There was a plank that you would sit on. Lori: You would straddle it, sit on it. And then with your feet, almost like Fred Flinstone, you would move it along. It took decades of improvements until you get to the 1860s. And you have something that the French developed, which was called the boneshaker. The boneshaker was called that because it was incredibly hard on the cyclist's body. Lori: At the time these devices would have been made out of wood and steel. The tires, there was no tire the way we think of it. The wheels were made out of iron or steel. And so if you wrote it, it was just shaking every bone in your body, so it was called the boneshaker. And there was a woman's version, which was called the tricycle. They develop these three-wheel devices, extremely heavy, extremely expensive, not to be ridden in public. But only wealthy women who had private space, so garden space, would ride a tricycle. It said that Queen Victoria had a couple of them. And they were pretty popular amongst the wealthy. But you did not see women riding a tricycle out in public spaces. Jolie: Well, so fast forward a little bit to how does that get associated? How do these new technologies and improvements to this, get associated with ordinary middle-class and working-class women? Lori: It's interesting you say ordinary because the bicycle, the one we think of with the big wheel and the little back wheel, that was actually called the ordinary. And that was developed in the 1870s. It was called a high wheel or an ordinary, and it was considered an improvement on the boneshaker because it was light and it was fast. It was extremely difficult to maneuver. Riding schools were set up. Lori: But you actually had women, particularly in the beginning, French women who started almost performing on these high wheelers. They would come to the United States and perform as almost circus acts. And they were working women. They were women who were not from the upper classes. They tended to wear clothing that was considered back then a little scanty. And they were seen really as spectacle, as an oddity. Lori: In the late 1880s, you have something developed that's called the safety. The safety is really the progenitor of the bicycle today. And almost immediately due to a guy in American named Albert Pope, he imported the safety. He bought all the patents for it, and he started marketing like crazy. And Americans started buying the safety. Just a couple of years of the safety coming to the United States, bike manufacturers started doing something they called the drop frame so that women could get on to the bike. Lori: Women took to it like crazy. And in the 1890s, you have something that was called the bicycle craze. And it truly was this phenomenon. I don't want to bore you with details. But just to give you an example in 1885, you had six bicycle manufacturers in the United States, just six, and they were producing about 11,000 bikes a year. In 1895, there were 125 manufacturers. They were producing a half a million bikes a year. A year later, it was a million bikes. Lori: What happened is, oftentimes the bike is seen as this great democratic equalizer of the classes and gender. We had all these social reform movements. By the 1890s, the women's suffrage movement had been pretty much in full swing for almost 50 years, with peaks and valleys, of course. But things were different. Lori: There were new technologies. Technologies in communication, transportation, mass media. Newspapers were the most popular form of communication, and the price of a newspaper had dropped. The relationship there is that the ability to find out about these devices was available to almost everyone, whether you were in an urban area or a rural area. And bikes became prevalent in the streets. Lori: Now, not everyone liked them. A lot of cities imposed bans, and there were bands against women riding bikes. One of the things that ties to the suffrage movement is that during the 1890s, so you have the bicycle craze, but you also have probably the, I don't know if I'm would say the height, but the beginning of the strength of the suffrage press. Lori: And as there were mainstream and regional, national newspapers all across country, suffrage leaders started publishing their own works. And there were many. I think in the 1890s, there were something like 30 different suffrage publications. And these acted... Of course, they were political, but they were also quite social. And they serve the purpose of creating community amongst women who are geographically separated, and also maybe not have the same political mindset. Lori: A lot of women probably had not heard about the details of a lot of political organizing that was going on. Or perhaps it had always been treated as this anomaly, this strange thing on the side that was going on. But the way we do social media today, it's very difficult to think about, that someone would take the time to write a letter to the editor, then wait for a month, and get the response. But it was really the way that women communicated. Lori: They would write in a question to the editor and then people would respond with helpful tips in. It was really sort of an exchange of ideas. And you had things that within the suffrage press that certainly were talking about the issue of suffrage, and other social reform issues, but bicycling, or cycling in the 1890s became one of the major topics of conversation. Lori: That's what women wanted to know about. They wanted to know things like how do you ride a bike? How do I get a bike? How much do they cost? What do you do when people harass you, and jeer at you and throw things at you and call you names? Which were all things that happen with great frequency. And the suffrage press played this incredible role in bringing women together in a political way, in a community way. Lori: And also the specific thing, which was the bicycle. Jolie: 2020 marks, the hundredth anniversary of the passing of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote. What are some of the things we might take for granted now that back then really posed major obstacles to the women fighting for suffrage? Lori: If we look at... The marker for the women's suffrage movement is 1848, the Seneca Falls convention, out of which Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, and a hundred other people created something called the Declaration of Sentiments. The purpose of that conference, or convention, initially was not for women to gain the right to vote, or even to advocate for the right to vote. It ended up, they discussed that. But it was really the whole women's rights in general. Things we take for granted. Lori: Women during that time period could not serve on a jury. They had no legal rights. They could not own property. They did not have the right to their own children. They did not have the right to divorce. And all of that is based on the United States, adopting a legal system which was based on the English common law system, which is called coverture. And basically what that says is when a man and a woman marry, they become one person and that one person is the male. Lori: The woman's identity was figuratively, but legally and economically merged into with the male. She really was the property if she was single, of her father, if she was married, her husband. And it was really that, that the women's rights movement began to address. And out of that, then the very soon realization was if you don't have the right to vote and you don't have any means to influence lawmakers. You don't have access. Without access you have nothing. Lori: And I think today we are still fighting for so many rights to access, but we don't realize that the most fundamental rights were not ours, except for the people who are part of the suffrage movement for 72 years. And of course today, again, it's people all over the world and people who identify all different ways, who are still fighting for access. Access to self-governance to a voice in governance, to the financial systems, economic systems. So there are a lot of parallels to today. It just seems very diffused today. You know, it's much more diffused and, but yeah, we owe them a lot. Jolie: Many of us have learned some of those major figures from the suffrage movement, but there are many more that are less well known. Do you have any particular figures or key moments in history that you'd like to draw our attention to that maybe don't get covered in the one chapter or that one paragraph in a given textbook? Lori: Right. There is a lot of work going on today to look at individual stories that have not been told about the suffrage movement, and to look at particular demographics within the suffrage movement that before this have not been discussed. Of course, African American women, Native American women, and women of color in general, Asian Americans, immigrants, people who were not fully Americans were part of the movement from its very inception. Lori: We know some of those famous names. We know Harriet Tubman. In fact, there was a movie that was just out about Harriet Tubman. A lot of the black women who were involved in the movement in the early years, came out of the abolitionist movement, as did almost all of the early white women came out out of the abolitionist movement. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott who's my ancestor, by the way, Susan B, Anthony. Lori: Those are the names that we know. They all started as abolitionists. They were anti-slavery reformers. Sojourner Truth, who gave the famous speech, "ain't I a woman," in Akron, Ohio. And she was really talking about rights in general. And I don't want to pare down what she said too much, but I encourage anyone to watch some of the reenactments that have been done. I think Alfre Woodard does one. There are quite a few famous black female actors who have reenacted, not necessarily in dress, but the voice, the speech of Sojourner Truth, it is powerful. Lori: You also have so many women who are involved that are much lesser-known, but not during the time period. Ida B Wells, she was a famous person, anti-lynching activist, and journalist. Mary Church Terrell who I believe got her degree at Oberlin College, and was an educator and very well known in the movement. Lori: And then there are all the women that you would see them as the set actors in a movie, in a documentary where you don't know their names, you don't know who they are. But the movement took just thousands and thousands and thousands of people. I mean the movement was 72 years long. It was multigenerational. The two of us, we would have been in the middle of those generations. We would have had mothers and grandmothers, and daughters, and nieces. It was multigenerational. The earliest women in the movement never lived to see the 19th amendment. That always makes me very sad. Lori: But Lucretia Mott died, I think, in 1893, I think that's the date. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, I want to say about 1904, something. Susan B. Anthony, a couple of years after that. Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, all these people, they didn't actually... And this was their life work. This was their job. Lori: And so I think that we... I teach a narrative structure in scriptwriting for television and film. One of the principles that I always try to explain to my students is we never want to look at a movie and say, "Well, it's not as good as the book." The movie is a snapshot, and those snapshots are typically, they become engaging when we have what we call a representative character. And so what's happened is the most well known white women of the suffrage movement have become our representative characters that have taken us through the movement. And now in the last 20 years, it's been about expanding that snapshot. Let's go down all these different avenues. And I think when you study visual culture, you study material culture, you look at visual communication. You start to see that the snapshot is a very, very, very... It can be a very full portrait of all of the people who were involved, including men. of course. Jolie: We're going to take a quick break. Thanks for listening to the big ideas podcast. Announcer : If you are passionate about big ideas, consider sponsoring this program. To have your name or organization mentioned here, please contact ICS at ics@bgsu.edu. Jolie: Hello and welcome back to the Big Ideas podcast today. I'm talking to Dr. Lori Ligate about the Centenary of women's suffrage. Lori, we've been talking a lot about the past and about rediscovering this history. What relevance do you think this story has for our own times? Are there particular points of struggle that today really signify the challenges to women's participation in US politics and governance? Lori: Well, I want to answer that probably two ways. And I'll start with something that is on everyone's mind today, which is that the women's suffrage movement at its endpoint in 1918 was the great flu influenza pandemic. I'm not an expert in that by any means, but of course I've been reading about it recently with regards to the women's suffrage movement. It was sort of a light bulb one day when I realized, I'm doing all this work and I've got all this timeline in my head. And someone mentioned the 1918 influenza pandemic, which I knew that was the year, I was aware of that. I'd never put the two together and thought, "Wow, what did this do to the suffrage movement?" I mean, we have to remember that was a catastrophic global event. In United States, alone, 675000 people died, worldwide 50 million. Lori: And so I look to see what other scholars and journalists have written about this, and actually, Google it, there's some really interesting information to be learned about the women's suffrage movement, and the 1918 flu pandemic. It almost derailed the movement. I don't think it's too far fetched to say that we here in 2020, a hundred years ago, we are very lucky that somehow these women and men were so organized, and had such a machine in place that somehow they were able to overcome this catastrophic world event. And just two years later, less than two years later, 18 months, really the 36th state, Tennessee ratified the 19th amendment. But it almost derailed it. Lori: I read something recently. What it said is that one of the things that happened, we know that during World War I, just like World War II, many women moved into the workforce because the men were away. What I didn't realize was that because the flu pandemic, that also contributed women going into the workforce. Now that need seems antithetical to what we think. But so many men were away during World War II, and then you've got this pandemic. Lori: Women were working as nurses, even if they weren't nurses, they were doing nursing type work, moving into the workforce in a way that had never happened before. Soldiers were coming back from the battlefield and bringing the influenza with them. The death amongst American soldiers was higher than any other population. And so there's all this interconnection between this political movement that had been going on for 70 years and this global pandemic. I think about today when everything has stopped, it seems like. In reality it hasn't. There is still activism that's happening. Right now we're talking probably more than decades about the Equal Rights Amendment. The Equal Rights Amendment grew directly out of the women's suffrage movement. Lori: The sad thing about that now is that we have now surpassed the number of years that it took for women to gain the right to vote. We have not yet attained the Equal Rights Amendment. I think that's sort of a great parallel for today is that, we have so many more mechanisms in place. I mean, what we're doing today, looking at each other awkwardly, in real-time and using several devices to hopefully record this. Now we have devices, technology, means to communicate, and to have a voice that the women and the men back then did not. And the activism that's happening in terms of equal pay, equal access, and I guess just generally equal rights is continuing must continue. And however long this pandemic takes, we can't be derailed by it. Jolie: Talking about the current pandemic. You were on fellowship with ICS this semester, so you were already released from teaching and service, but how has your life changed? Granted, what was already supposed to be a restful, and research focused semester? What has happened to you? Lori: Anticipating that you might ask that question, I've run through many scenarios of how I would answer it in my head. Because the first thing I want to say from a very sincere and genuine place is how much I have appreciated being given this opportunity to do this fellowship. I started really last summer. I forget when it was announced that I got it. I think it was a semester before that. But really last summer I started putting the wheels in motion. I taught a class last semester on the women's suffrage movement. And I went at this full steam. Lori: This semester with not having to teach, and not doing service, the goal was to get out into some archives. I love doing archival research. I wanted to see the bicycle museum, which is located in New Bremen, Ohio. There are quite a few archives that are within driving distance. And so I think that was the first thing was the realization, and I'll be honest, it took me probably like a lot of this, quite a few weeks to realize that probably wasn't going to happen this semester. A lot of archival materials today, thank goodness, are digitized. When you really start looking at things specifically, you realize that a lot of things still are not digitized. So that's been difficult. Lori: As you know, the two primary requirements of the fellowship are the public community presentation, which for me was a scheduled for March 28th. And I would have been doing a very visual, public-friendly, community-friendly talk on the suffrage movement and the impact of the bicycle, and vice versa. Of course, that was canceled. Lori: And then the other thing that just breaks my heart is the Ohio Humanities for the last, I don't know how many years have sponsored a series of Chautauqua programs in Ohio. This was meant to be the last year of Ohio Chautauqua. And this year there were two planned, and one of them was in Rossford, Ohio, which of course is very close to us. And pure coincidence, the theme was Voting in America. I found out about this, I thought I was dreaming, I contacted them and basically forced myself upon them, and met with various people. So we started meeting, I was on the Chautauqua planning committee. I forget how many meetings we had. I think I had a preliminary meeting to meet the director. And then the committee met at least two times. Lori: And it was this great group of people. There were two of us educational types, or educator types on it. But we had the parks and rec guy, and we had the woman who is the local historian, and we had librarians, librarians are good for everything, librarians. Lori: And so this committee of about 10 people, and the Chautauqua was planned for, I think it was the second week, was a five-day event planned for the second week in June. We had five, I study documentaries, so we call them social actors. But I guess in the Chautauqua world, they are a re-enactors. They are the actors that play certain characters from history, coming from different parts of the country. I was working with the League of Women voters and they were going to... And I think I was going to do it too, I was sort of getting my nerve up to dress as suffragists, and to have a parade. And we were going to have voter education materials, and end of the story, it was canceled. Lori: So there is some hope that it could happen in the fall, but I don't know how much that's hope and how much that's reality. That's the way it is. And so I've had to pivot in the work that I'm doing, and go back to doing more secondary source staff, sort of get my wind back a little bit. And I'm going back and looking at some of the 1890s poster art that I love. I'm looking at that from perhaps a 19th-century taxonomy of women. There's still so much interesting work to be done, but it's been disappointing. But I've got a good compared to a lot of people. So I can't be overly disappointed. Jolie: We've talked about this a bit, but about how this movement overlapped with a world war, a different pandemic. As last thoughts for our conversation, is there any kind of lessons we can take, that you would want us to take away from the suffrage movement, managing to persevere in the face of long odds, and many internal and external challenges? Lori: I guess what I would say is that what history teaches us is that the reform movements, social and political, economic, whatever I'm using reform sort of broadly, they succeed if people don't give up. And we have to remember that there are always going to be ebbs and flows to everything. I try to tell myself this personally. There are ebbs and flows to everything, but if you keep going and your commitment is there, the success will eventually come. Lori: Now, whether or not the people who begin the movement live to see it, that's another thing that seems very sad. But what becomes most important is the work itself. And I have experience in labor organizing and that sort of thing, and what I will say is, and this is contrary to what we're taught from a self improvement, that every individual makes a difference. Lori: I think when we look at history, it is always the collective. It is always the collective. We see individuals who stand up, and they become our representative figures in that part of the history. But if you explore further, it's usually a collective that may come after that individual, who takes up the cause and keeps it going. And so power in numbers, I guess, is what I would say. And we will get through this pandemic. When you look at the numbers from 1918, you look at things going back to the black plague, bubonic plague, all those, they wiped out huge numbers in the population, and you wonder how the human race survived. We will get through this, hopefully with not the catastrophic events or the effects of 1918. And so the work has to continue. The activism has to continue, and we've got the tools and mechanisms to make that happen. Jolie: Thank you so much, Lori. It was really great to talk to you. Lori: It was nice to talk to too. Thanks. It was good to see you, too. Jolie: I know, lovely to see you. Yes, we can't be there in person, but this is as close as we can get. Lori: Yes, absolutely.

We talk about my "near death" encounter with a "killer" pug and the importance of ridding ourselves from the anchors that are keeping us from moving forward. In case you are wondering, the word "potatoe" is a reference to myself growing up as a kid. My stature was very much like that of a potato but would always get called a potato with an "E", because of my chubby little Fred Flinstone feet. ---- @MacHawbaker (www.MacHawbaker.com) ---- Music provided by Nova Rockafeller (www.novarockafeller.com) ---- Subjectively Objective is produced by Filmception Media Group, @FilmceptionMG (www.Filmception.com)

He's a local hero and has also been known to make some amazing halloween costumes.

The road to success is not paved with fear! "I had an experience that year, the year of the crazy pregnancy (let's call it!), which to this day I feel was a vision from God. Throughout my life I've received many messages from God, and also many words over my life, prophecies and such, but I've never really been much of a visual person. This is the only time I can recall where I CLEARLY saw a vision. In this vision, I was on a rollercoaster, and it was JUST beginning to tip over the peak from having gone up, to about to start flying on a downwards part. I was right in that moment before speed is gathered and you're just free falling. Except that in the vision, I was HOLDING ON to the edges of the carriage, and I kinda had my feet going through the bottom of the carriage (very Fred Flinstone-ish!), and I was deliberately trying to stop the downwards movement. To CONTROL it, you know? And I clearly saw in that moment what would happen -" ... ^^ excerpt from my new book. Watch the livestream for the full sermon.

The idea of wooden cars, homes, planes and skyscrapers used to be a Fred Flinstone fantasy. Now, with huge leaps in material technology, could wood be the miracle material of our future?

This is an episode for us, for once. We took it easy this week, informal, and talked about Jinder Mahals work out, The Street Profits and their time distorting magic, NWO Johnson, Fred Flinstone, doing it live, an unnecessary match, secretly loving Booker T's commentary, a four way that's good, bad booking being goood booking, looking jacked, baby, and not having monitor access. If you don't want to watch an entire match in the replay, this isn't an episode for you. SORRY, SUCKERS.

Hey, tomorrow (Friday, June 16th) is monthly options expiration day...and there is some federal news at 7:30am CT (building permits) before the open. Always gotta keep mindful of the overall market context. I'm sure you remember the old cartoon the Flintstones? Sometimes he come up fast to a location and had to stop quick so his feet would scrape along the ground. He never seemed to have foot burns. And, at the end of each episode he'd get locked out of the house, but there was no glass in the windows...I always wondered why he didn't just hop through the window. Anyway! So I'm looking at Citigroup tonight, stock symbol C. I've got a couple charts here...the Citigroup daily chart...and the Market Effectiveness chart -- which shows how effective the market engine is at moving Citigroup price. When they get mis-alinged then Citigroup can shift gears and the trade can go the other way. On May 26th there was a gear shift and Citi wandered lower, not by much. But then we got another gear shift, to the upside on June 7th and it has come up a few points since then. Why do I mention this? Because it's starting to look like a Fred Flinstone screeching to a halt, Citi now appears to be in a potential gear shift that may go down...it is still in the middle of the gear shift, so no move yet...but keep your eye on that. Now, I want to look at one other thing here...the Futures E-mini contracts. There's a very interesting tell going on here. First there were about 7 good gear shifts in trading the E-minis today. But the interesting point here is that throughout the day as price wandered higher, the market effectiveness chart continued to drop. Hmm..what does that mean? If price continues to go up, but the market effectiveness is dropping...then some aspects of the market engine were dropping. That means price was rising on a pretty weak foundation. Keep your eye on that tomorrow...certainly it could continue higher...but the probabilities go up that the market engine and the price will need to resolve. Meaning, either a stronger foundation of players will need to come in and continue to push it up...or, those big players will not come in like Fred Flinstone will come to a screeching halt and the weak foundation will break and price will retreat, bringing the market effectiveness chart and price back into alignment. If you want to take a closer look at some of the charts I was showing you can find them on my Facebook page at facebook.com/financialinvestingsecrets. Until next time, keep your eye on the Market Effectiveness chart and trade safe!

Steven:                Steve Butella here for LandAcademy. Welcome to our Cash Flow from Land Show. In this episode, I talk about Jill and the girl inside of Jill named Stacy. Stacy comes out when Jill is pretty much done with responsibility, and I love Stacy. We all do. What's the show really all about? It's about taking a break. Taking a break from work and from life and really just having a little bit of fun once in a while, which Jill doesn't seem to have problems doing at all. Jill, I know Stacy's not going to be with us today. Maybe that's having for another show. I have to ... Jill DeWit:            I got to ... Steven:                My question to you is how are you ... How did you get to be so good at turning off work and all this serious stuff in life, and really just ... Like a switch you can flip it off sometimes and just have some fun. Jill DeWit:            Okay, I would like to pause, and just iterate that I am not schizophrenic. Because that's what it sounds like. Steven:                It does when you think about that. Jill DeWit:            It sounds like Jill, Stacy, look out, here she comes. Then I'm going to be around the corner talking to Stacy, and Stacy talks to Jill. No, that's not at all what goes on. Steven:                No, this is a complement. Jill DeWit:            Thank you. Steven:                I hope you see it that way. Jill DeWit:            This is a Steve-ism. Steven came up with Stacy. Steven:                Yeah. Jill DeWit:            All by himself. Steven:                A long time ago. Jill DeWit:            You did, a long time ... You just, I don't know where it was. We were out somewhere, and it was just one of those times where we're whooping up, having some fun, and you're like "I'm going to call you Stacy." You know? It's so ... Steven:                There's a lot ... Here's the thing. There are a lot of people, some of them are women. Some of them that are men. That just are not ... They can't ever let their hair down. Jill DeWit:            Oh. Steven:                You know, and I ... Neither one of us are like that at all. Jill DeWit:            Mm-hmm (negative). Steven:                We can ... When the Fred Flinstone whistle rings, and the ... It's over. Work's over. The shift bell rings, and it's over. Jill DeWit:            Yes. Steven:                We ... Jill and I don't suffer from having a lot of, lack of fun. Jill DeWit:            It's true. It's very true. You know what ... You know, thank you, Steven. This is a really good topic. I didn't even think about it, but it is ... It's funny, because it's so my thing, the mental side of all this stuff. Not just the financial side of everything that we're doing, but you do need to be able to shut it off. If you don't let your hair down sometime, you will go crazy. I look at it like a diet. If you're on a diet, and you eat ... You know, you're so rigid the whole week. When you have a week moment, you're going to go crazy, and you're going to blow what you just did, because you didn't prepare for it. Slash however. If you're dieting, and you're doing everything great, and you allow yourself one meal and you know it's come, you kind of planned for it. You know. Have that treat, whatever. Then you're going to be better, consistent, and you're going to get back on your diet, and going to be just okay. You got to plan for it. Steven:                There's this joke and a saying along the lines of what we're talking about, about Catholic girls, and I'm not going to ...

The Geeks, together again, celebrate Christmas together with the telling of tales, with a discussion of their Core 4 Christmas Specials. This, of course, means they can't agree on the ground rules and things fall apart quickly.  They also have a gift exchange that leads to a lot of conversation, as usual. The Geeks also recap Jekyll Con (a rousing success!) and Ron shows us his Christmas Card from Professor Alan. But listen for the gift exchange.  It's a classic.  After that Scott, feeling bad for the fact that he didn't get the episode out on time and instead put it out on Christmas Eve, decides to slather on the Christmas Cheer, resulting in our longest episode ever! It even includes visits from Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, C-3PO, R2-D2, Fred Flinstone, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Jack Skellington, among others.   This episode of Dinner 4 Geeks was recorded live at Zachry's Seafood and Steak in Brunswick, GA http:zachrys-restaurant.com  

Box 13 was a syndicated show starring Alan Ladd (famous for the movie "Shane") as Dan Holiday. The basic premise is that Holiday is an author looking for story ideas, so he posts an ad in his local paper looking for adventure...will go anywhere, will do anything...Every single one of the 52 total episodes in this short-lived series is well written and well acted. This first episode also features Alan Reed, who voiced Fred Flinstone.

This week on I'm a Public Health Professional Get Me Out of Here Pete looks at the effects of poor air quality, new guidance on obesity,and plans to spin off public services all with a little help from Thunderclap Newman, Tommy Cooper and Fred Flinstone's Feet.

In our second annual look at the VMAs, Screen Verdict compares reigning title holder Katy Perry to contenders Rihanna, Drake, Gotye and M.I.A. After announcing the nominees Matt and Jonathan take a look at potential snubs that aren't really snubs in One Direction and Carly Rae Jepsen. Moving on to the actual nominees the boys review why Katy Perry should have known better than to eat a lone strawberry, wonder who's shooting arrows at bulls (presumably Katnis), pick sides between Gotye and Kimbra, discover how many cigarettes someone can fit in their mouth and compare M.I.A. to Fred Flinstone. After combining our scores we decide which is our favourite and cast our vote for best music video of the year. Lastly we receive a call from podcast guest Dutchy who shares how his sister Ruth Roubelle was also snubbed by the awards.
