Academy product Emerson gets his first taste of first team football.- Fox helps Swans take flight- Darling, we're 2-0 down.- Madsen to Dembele again get us back in it- Strong finish, came up short. (Am I allowed to say short?)- We're safe. Good job as it's tighter than our FFP headway down at the bottom- If QPR brought in a 25 goal striker from League 1 next season, you've be delighted. So why are we unsure about Charlie Kelman?- Season almost over, we can put our feet up, nothing to see here.- Oh...every. damn. time...- Let's Frost/Nixon the elephant in the room. Marti v Nourry.

442. Enhancing Community and Connection with Rituals feat. Michael Norton

What if the key to managing stress and finding meaning lies in the simple rituals we perform daily? How can engaging in rituals can be a potent tool for combating anxiety and fostering a sense of community?Michael Norton is the Harold M. Brierley Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and an author. His latest book is titled The Ritual Effect: From Habit to Ritual, Harness the Surprising Power of Everyday Actions.Greg and Michael discuss Michael's groundbreaking research on the distinctions between rituals, habits, and compulsions, and delves into how these practices—whether ancient or self-created—provide essential structure and purpose in our lives.Michael and Greg dive deeper into the impact of rituals within organizations and relationships. Learn how companies can use simple, coordinated actions to bolster unity and core values, and why rites of passage are crucial for marking life's transitions. Michael also highlights the strong correlation between shared rituals and relationship success, emphasizing the importance of mutual participation. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Do successful companies leverage rituals to foster a sense of belonging and a common purpose?24:45: Very often, the rituals that companies have are really intended to reflect a specific value that the company cares about. I was just talking to someone who told me at their company, what they do is every Friday: It's a smallish company, so they have an all-hands  every Friday, and each group says something that another group did that they're grateful for. Somebody on another team helped me out with this thing I was working on, and they do it every Friday. Now, they could do anything—they could say, "Think of another group that made you laugh this week. Tell us about that." But they don't laugh; they do gratitude. And they're trying to show in that moment one of the things that we care about in this place is helping and gratitude. You can have a silly mission statement that says, "Gratitude and all these platitudes," or you can use these kinds of regular rituals to show repeatedly: This is the value that we really care about. And families, when they have rituals at dinnertime as well, they're very often communicating a value that they really think is very important.Rituals can bind us and separate us23:52: It's not that you do rituals and it's all warm and fuzzy; it's that they can bind us together and they can separate us from other people. So there's tension—it's like a risk-reward kind of relationship with ritual.Exploring how emotions drive action17:18: I think the way that humans are built, unfortunately for us, is that we can't change our emotions when we feel like it. So, in other words, it would be amazing if I felt sad, if I could snap and be happy, just automatically, just instantly; we could easily be built like that.Do we customize rituals according to our needs?08:17: In fact, even in our own lives, we're changing them—rituals—all the time. And the reason I say that is because if they stop working for you, you could say, "Rituals obviously don't work. I'm never doing them again." Or you can say, "I must have the wrong ritual. It seems what people are likely to do is say, 'I must have the wrong ritual.' Let me mix it up a little bit and see if that will help." And it really, to me, speaks to how deeply ingrained they are in us because we are, in a sense, ignoring evidence from the world that not all of them work, and we continue to do them, modify them, and shape them as though if we keep doing that, we'll get to the optimal one.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Clifford GeertzBronisław MalinowskiDisenchantmentSerena WilliamsRafael NadalThe Pianist and the LobsterHedonic treadmillStanford marshmallow experimentGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Harvard Business SchoolMichaelNorton.comLinkedIn ProfileWikipedia ProfileHis Work:The Ritual Effect: From Habit to Ritual, Harness the Surprising Power of Everyday Actions365 Ways To Change the World: How to Make a Difference-- One Day at a TimeHappy Money: The Science of Happier SpendingTed Talk - How to buy happiness

In this last episode of our series on Christian mission work, we explore what it means that “all authority in heaven and on earth” was given to the risen Christ (Matthew 28: 18 - 20). What does this look like? What does a conquering, victorious god look like, in all his glory? In Jesus it looks like what Christians called “good Friday”: It looks like him dying on the cross. In him, everything has been turned upside down and inside out. The lion has become the lamb…Many thanks to Elliott Chamberlin who composed the theme music, “Seeking Together.” You can find more of his music here.Thanks also to Camilla Lake for the show notes and Patreon/Podcast communications and production.The Light in Every Thing is a podcast of the Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

All this weekend headlines screamed “homebuying is now as expensive as it has been in a generation!”https://www.deseret.com/utah/2022/4/14/23025299/u-s-mortgage-rates-5-percent-home-buying-most-expensive-inflation-housing-pricesAnd my first thought was “what isn't?!?!?!”But then I realized that I'm old…and I've lived through 2-3 generations of this…and that if homes (and everything else) is as expensive as it has been in a generation, then we should also remind everyone that we went through a period where they were as affordable as they were in a generation. We America, the economy, society, and everything else is cyclical. It all comes around and goes around. Ironically, it was on Easter weekend that I grasped what my father was saying a couple years ago when he calmly reassured us all that, essentially, we'll be fine. America will find its' way back and everything will work out.When he first said it I was skeptical, since my arc in life was growing up in the miserable 70's, the scary cold-war 80's, the booming fantastic 90s, the scary aughts, and malaise filled 10's….but when I stopped to reflect, I realized that's exactly the pattern we live out over and over again. The 1920's were literally called the “roaring 20's,” until the depression of the 30's hit, the scary 40's and then came the booming 50's, before the civil right stricken 60's and…you get the idea.If you have any intelligence at all you're wondering where the irony is.Easter has little to no meaning to me, despite my deep spiritual background and understanding of almost all religions, most notably Christianity. As a Deist, I am blessed with the ability to know that there is a power greater than us all, but not to be withholden to one in particular, nor, more importantly, a bunch of garbage humans say or makeup regarding my supreme being. Thus, I can, and do, appreciate teachings from many religious corners, and often find a way to apply them to my belief system or, and this may work for you, take religion out of it altogether and find great meaning and inspiration in the message without any need for a God to still appreciate it.Enter S.M. Lockrdige, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, a prominent African-American congregation located in San Diego, California, from 1953 to 1993, who was known worldwide for his passionate sermons including one of my personal favorites, befitting Easter weekend, “It's Friday, but Sunday's coming.”Through a Christian prism, the message is exclusively and entirely about the resurrection of Jesus, but there is a message for all of us of any, every, and no faith as well and it's simple yet beautiful and comforting. Put simply, it's Friday in America and everything sucks. Society hates itself and each other, the price of everything is through the roof, there isn't one single thing that unites us as a people, a pandemic has laid to ruin what we were 3 years ago, which wasn't much to brag about in the first place, and Betty White is dead. There is little, if any hope for a better tomorrow in America as poll after poll show that parents, for the first time, do not believe their children will live a better life than they have, and only 25% of us believe we'll be better off financially a year from now than we are today. It's Friday in America…but Sunday is coming.If you are staunchly and unequivocally atheist, even you can find meaning in this for you don't need to equate America's Sunday to Jesus saving us…that's not even how I mean it, despite the original message.It isn't, in my opinion, a message of hope, for hope leads to despair. It's a message of faith…as in, have faith. Hope is a fleeting urge for something to happen while faith is an absolute. Those who have true faith are literally incapable of it being shaken for it is as real as oxygen, land and water. Nothing you say nor do can rattle true faith.Things are pretty rotten in America, relatively speaking to our history and expectations, but the truth is that I have lived through worse, and then saw the best of my 50 years on this planet as I scorched the earth during the 90's. Thus, I have faith that it's merely Friday in America…and Sunday is coming. “It's Friday - Jesus is praying - Peter's a sleeping - Judas is betraying - But Sunday's comin.It's Friday - Pilate's struggling - The council is conspiring - The crowd is vilifying - They don't even know - That Sunday's comin. It's Friday - The disciples are running like sheep without a shepherd - Mary's crying - Peter is denying - but they don't know - That Sunday's a comin. It's Friday - The Romans beat my Jesus - They robe Him in scarlet - They crown Him with thorns - But they don't know - That Sunday's comin. It's Friday - See Jesus walking to Calvary - His blood dripping - His body stumbling - And His spirit's burdened - But you see, it's only Friday - Sunday's comin. It's Friday - The world's winning - People are sinning - And evil's grinning. It's Friday, (they say) The soldiers nail my Savior's hands to the cross - They nail my Savior's feet to the cross - And then they raise him up- Next to criminals. “It's Friday” - But let me tell you something” The congregation shouts, “Sunday's comin.” It's Friday - The disciples are questioning - What has happened to their King - And the Pharisees are celebrating - That their scheming has been achieved - But they don't know - It's only Friday - Sunday's comin' It's Friday - He's hanging on the cross - Feeling forsaken by His Father - Left alone and dying - Can nobody save Him? It's Friday - But Sunday's comin' It's Friday - The earth trembles - The sky grows dark - My King yields His spirit. It's Friday - Hope is lost - Death has won - Sin has conquered - and Satan's just a laughin' It's Friday - Jesus is buried - A soldier stands guard - And a rock is rolled into place - But it's Friday - It is only Friday.” Sunday is a comin"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS2wPotScZYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this podcast series, I will be diving into organizing the business of work. I will be taking you along with me for a workweek that I recorded in November 2021. At Organize 365®, we divide our work into four categories. As a shortcut, we use the Friday Workbox® colors to categorize the different kinds of work. These colors are pink, purple, blue, and green.  Creating a shared vocabulary and defining different kinds of work gets all of our team on the same page. Together, we move faster in the same direction and have fewer episodes of miscommunication.  Today is Friday - It is a hodgepodge day for me with a little green, a little blue, and a little purple work, but little to no pink work. On this Friday, I start my day with purple by talking to YOU live online about this week's podcast episode topic. Because I record my podcasts so far in advance, by the time an episode airs, I usually have a little more to share with you. Another purple activity for today is a masterclass I'm teaching called “Your Most Productive Year Ever.” I'm spending some extra time with the team today by having Thanksgiving lunch together. Many people on the team will be taking extra time off for the holiday next week. Most of you probably do your Friday Workbox on Friday afternoons, as I counsel you to do. While I will do a deep dive into my email, I will wait until over the weekend to do my Friday Workbox. It sounds blasphemous, but I purposely do this so I don't overwhelm my team with new ideas going into the weekend. I just tie up the loose ends from my email, handle anything left on my desk, and prepare for the very beginning of the week.  Then, I will spend 4-5 hours working over the weekend and during that time, I will go through my Friday Workbox®. I don't talk much on the podcast about working over the weekend. I know many of you don't want to work over the weekend, but this is what works for me in this season. This also gives me the margin to spend more of my Friday on social connections with my team. I love the life I've created for myself, but by the end of the day on Friday, I'm ready to go home to spend time with Greg and snuggle Grayson. In this podcast, I will take you along and talk to you at different times during my workday. Listen in to hear more about how I spend Fridays with my team, why we don't do Black Friday sales, and how I use Google docs over email when possible. How do you spend your Fridays?

英语口语·吉米老师说 Sunday 在英语里都有哪些用法呢?快和吉米老师来学习地道口语吧。吉米老师教过大家很多月份相关的俚语,今天,吉米老师就来盘点一下和星期相关的俚语,大家快来学习吧。Sunday best 盛装Sunday best 盛装;最好的衣服对很多老外来说,周日是个特别的日子,他们要去教堂里祈祷。去教堂这样圣洁的地方,穿着上当然不能太随意。The free dictionary 对 Sunday best 就有这样的解释:One's very best clothes, as one would wear to a Sunday church service.一个人最好的衣服,就像能在教堂仪式上穿的衣服Sunday best 就是最好的衣服,常被翻译为盛装、华服。到现在,我们出席正式场合穿的漂亮衣服都可以说成 Sunday best.例句Get dressed up in your Sunday best,I will drive you a high-end dancing party.穿上你最好看的衣服,我开车带你去一个高端的舞会。birthday suit 是生日礼服吗?birthday suit 裸体;一丝不挂What one is said to be "wearing" while completely naked. Alludes to the fact that one is born without clothing.每个人从娘胎里出生时,都是光着身子的,所以 birthday suit 的意思不是生日那天穿的礼服,而是什么都没穿,我们要翻译为赤身裸体。这个表达前面通常要加上 in one's,一起来看个例句吧。例句It is a sizzler,many kids are swimming in their birthday suits.真是个大热天,很多孩子光着身子在游泳。裸体也有下面这些说法:naked [ˈneɪkɪd] 裸体的nude [nuːd] 裸体的Monday morning feeling 是什么意思?(that)Monday morning feeling 周一综合症(周一不想上班不想上学的情况)在一周里,我们最不想面对的一天就是周一了。刚休息完,就要上学上班了。英语里的 Monday morning feeling ,就是很多人都会有的周一综合征,我们也可以理解为周一烦躁症,形容周末过完了但是还不想上班或上学的心情。例句It is time to have breakfast. You look very listless,are you all right?是时候吃早饭了,你看上去没精打采的,你没事吧?I have got that Monday morning feeling.我就是得了周一综合症,不想上学。good Friday ≠ 好的星期五good Friday 受难节(复活节前的星期五)在英语里,很多表达都和耶稣有关,good Friday 就是耶稣的受难日,也就是耶稣被钉死在十字架上的那天,现在一般指复活节前的周五。Black Friday 黑色星期五(感恩节后的周五)Black Friday 类似于双十一,也是一个促销的节日。关于 Black Friday 的由来,有好几种说法。有一种说法是这样的:在购物节那天,商家会推出很多促销活动,大批消费者涌进市区抢购商品,交通拥堵情况非常严重,简直就是一个黑色的星期五,让人无法忍受。例句A large number of consumers acted like a crazy person last Black Friday and I really do not understand their behavior.上次黑色星期五购物节的时候,很多消费者们跟疯了一样,我真不理解他们的行为。 Friday 的相关表达 TGIF:thanks God it is Friday 终于到周五了!girl Friday 得力女助手man Friday 得力男助手It will be a frosty Friday 这不可能今天的知识是不是很容易就学会了呢?别忘了在评论区提交作业哦。这些短语和句子你都理解对了吗?最后留给同学们一个小作业:用 Sunday best 造一个句子你的答案是什么呢?同学们可以在右下角留言区写下你的答案哦, 老师会亲自点评~

And other release news Wild Turkey has announced that they are releasing a 17 year old bottled in bond under the Masters keep label. The Masters keep bottled and bond will be a limited release with approximately 14,400 bottles with a suggested retail price of $175. On the trade of new releases, the TTB has approved over 180,000 products over the last 12 months through April of 2020 which is about an increase of 5.1% over last year, around 8700 labels in beer there are around 42,000 products that were approved in the last 12 months. Wine 120,000 in spirits 17 point 4000 however, the one that has The biggest gainer is actually spirits because in beer, the last three months there was only 10 and a half thousand which is actually 21% less than last year. And wine there were there almost 30,000 over the last three months with is 22% less than last year, and then spirits by about 4.7 thousand over the last three months, which is an 11.3% increase over last year. Now let's talk about some industry news. Earlier this year the Indiana alcohol and tobacco commission denied total wine a liquor license in the state because it does not meet the state's residency minimum requirements. Under current state law, at least 60% of a company's common stock must be owned by people who have lived in Indiana for five years. In true total wine style. The retailer promptly filed lawsuit against the agency and bit based on the Supreme Court opinions on Granholm and total wine versus Tennessee. The district court's decision will grant to the retailer's preliminary injunction prohibiting state from enforcing its residency requirement. This is again one more Domino to fall where we will soon see more interstate commerce law start lifting. And for today's podcast, what can you say? sitting down with the nose, it's always a treat Fred and Freddy note are about as genuine and as real as it comes in the show. It's gonna take a bunch of turns. We talk about the Fred Dino distillery legend, little book blending. And we asked Fred No, catch this one. If he's ready to retire. I think you might be shocked at his answer, and we're not going to give it away. All right, so Joe from barrel bourbon wants you to know that it's gotten a whole lot easier to get their unique cat strength whiskies from around the world. Just visit barrel bourbon, calm today, and click the Buy Now button. Up next we got Fred minich with above the char, so continue to stay safe and enjoy the show. 4:52 I'm Fred Minnick. And this is above the char Oh, I opened my email with excitement when I saw that headline, new welder single barrel. Oh boy have we been waiting on this one? Have we known about it for so long and wanted to see that press release and see the price on and how it would be distributed and where? how we could get it. Oh, I couldn't wait to read about it. It was a few paragraphs long. And you know it said MSRP of 4999. Now, listen, I love weather. I love weather weather is probably I think the most successful product line and all of bourbon you got a special reserve allocated? Well our 107 antique allocated well a 12 year old allocated well our foolproof allocated, William LaRue Weller super allocated and every single one of those over the course of my career has had 90 points or higher from me and they're all typically quite delicious and those that aren't supremely delicious are better than Pretty much just about everything else in their category. So it's it's a great line of whiskey and Buffalo Trace does such an amazing job there whiskies so good. But the fact of the matter is, as soon as that gets into stores, that MSRP of 4999 will be shot all to hell by household retailers who want to mark it up for 100% by flippers who go in and buy a bottle and find somebody on the internet Who will pay two $300 for it. I know there's no easy way to do this. And I know Buffalo Trace really, really does hope that you you the bourbon fan can be that one person who gets it for 4999 and they think that this is the way to keep everybody engaged and hope that that price keeps them coming back for more. But we got to be realistic. These SRP s For whiskey, that's so great. So great. They're just they're just not. They're just not there. I would love to be able to pay $50 for this whiskey, I really would. But the fact of the matter is, I would be willing to pay far more. And I don't know this. I don't know this. And the reason why I say the reason to say I'd be willing to I'd love to buy it at that SRP. Don't get me wrong. But I wonder if if they raise the SRP, just enough to cartel the retailers from increasing it from 4999 to 100. Or if it was just enough to cut into the profit margins of a flipper. I wonder if that would stop some of it. Now, I don't know it's all based on consumer behavior. And right now we're all acting very differently. So maybe this is the one time because of the virus, maybe this is the one time we will actually see a suggested retail price of a Weller be just that on the shelf. And you know, if there's anything good come from a pandemic, which few and far between, maybe that's at least one positive we can take out of it. Now, not even that it's that positive, because still, we're in a friggin pandemic. And that sucks. But I do hope that you can find it on the shelf at your local retailer for 4999. And if you do find one of those, if there's two bottles there, grab both of them. Call me and I'll get the other one from you. And that's this week's above the char. Hey, I've got some great news. I'm so excited about this while the pandemic has taken away 100% of my live events, I mean, bourbon and beyond gone, all these private tastings I've had gone. I now have a way to book me for private tastings. Go to Fred MiniK Topeka dot live. That's Fred MiniK dot Topeka dot live and you You can book me for a private tasting.

But that's this week's above the char Until next week, cheers. 9:21 Welcome back to episode of bourbon pursuit, the official podcast of bourbon. Kinney and Ryan headed down to Claremont, Kentucky today, sitting in an office that we've we've been familiar with before, we had an opportunity to sit with this master distiller one previous time on the podcast, but now we got him and his son on here, the next in line, hopefully to take over the throne. But, you know, this is also an opportunity that first time we've had one of these people on the guests or on on the podcast, but you've also had a history with one of our guests as well, too. 9:51 I guess you said yeah, we were. Well, we play football together basketball. went to the same high school. I'm a little older, he's probably more mature than I 10:01 wouldn't say 10:02 but yeah I was good sharing some funny stories about football and stuff so now I'm happy to see Friday It's been a while so I always forget out great the view as to when we come here like I mean when Do y'all ever just walk out you're like damn you know oh amazing but 10:19 sit on the front porch a lot. Yeah, I just want to get away from emails Squadron sit. Yeah, marinate. I see what's going on. Because when the sun shining and it's 10:27 nice. Yeah, so 10:29 super camera row, you'll see a lot of photos or just random sunsets or sunrises here just because you know, sometimes you come in and you just kind of takes your breath because like you say, sometimes you take it for granted even Oh, now you know being here every day. 10:42 Well, yeah, when I grew up here, you drive to 45 Volvo and you like, Don't even think twice about Bernheim forest or anything now I'm like looking at it's like it's this magical place. Go see the 10:51 giants. 10:55 So you've heard their voices now. So today on the show, we have Fred and Freddie no master distiller And the in training, if you will to be taken over there one day of Jim Beam. So fellas again, Fred, welcome back, Freddie. Glad to have you on back. Yeah. So yeah, I kind of want to talk about that view a little bit more too because I think it's something that is kind of wrong. You kind of put it the best way to kind of like takes your breath away a little bit. You know, you probably it's one of those things that it might be in your backyard. You only think about it, you know, even being in Louisville. everybody's like, Oh, we think a slugger museum and like, I've probably been there since I was to grade school. Almost like you just don't think about it when it's in your backyard. But it's it's awesome to finally like come up here and you said probably after that day, you just kind of go out there. Pour soft glass and kick it in the rock or something like that. 11:43 Absolutely. It's perfect spot and I want to set up my office up here. As I 11:48 hit that watering hole, you know, after hours. 11:51 I used to be in the basement with no windows where 11:54 maybe they figured they'd kept me in jail long enough. It was time to turn me loose. 11:58 Yes. Let you see the light When did when did that happen? One of the we're like we're because so anybody that's unfamiliar with the grounds, the visitor centers. 12:07 The caddy corner to this bigger White House that you see over here. Where was the when did the move happen? Well, in 2012, we opened the steel house, and our Chief Marketing Officer at the time, I thought that I should be closer to the visitors because he'd saw my interaction with people just walking around. And he said, we need to get your work closer to the folks that are coming out of season. Why don't we put your office in the beam house, which is kind of ironic. Baker beam, my cousin gave me a picture of me in the same room where I am where my office is, when I was two years old, sitting in my dad's lap with my mom. So it was kind of he said, You're coming home full circle, and I'll come right back to where I was when I was two years old. And actually my dad sits just about where that easy chair was Booker was sitting in and we have here real close and being Baker actually lived here. This house he was the last beam family member and we turned it into offices and conference room upstairs. So in 2012 mobs came from down below the hill to the top of the hill. So 13:11 my vote would have been the knob Creek house, you know, to like get away from everyone get a 13:16 nice view when they when they redid the house up there. Yeah, I saw be my office. I said we'll never find you. 13:24 You're on down. 13:25 That's the point. Yeah, 13:26 well, so I guess I don't really know about the knob Creek house. So where is the knob Creek couser. I'm assuming it's by knob Creek, but 13:32 no, actually, it's on the property here at Claremont. And it's kind of funny how we acquired it. We went into it. It was owned by the everbank family, which owned the Cadillac Dealer in Louisville back when Jim Beam was was still running the distillery and I guess they had signed a some kind of agreement that we could utilize that water source. There's a lake back there. Use that water source when we needed it for distillation purposes and somewhere that had gotten lost and so in the was it early 90s I think is like 92 or 93. We ended up buying this property to gain access to the water. And then through purchasing it we actually found out that we already had right of use of the water. So we didn't nearly need the property after all, but the knob Creek team put up some money to redo the house. The house was kind of falling down, because like I said, we were there for just the water. And now it's kind of turned into kind of a little getaway place. We've got up on the hillside on the other Hill, we're on one Hill. If you go back down to planting up on the other side, 14:33 on Airbnb 14:40 it was the White House on Yeah, they're on. They're on Airbnb. So it's a pretty cool place. It's got a nice Lake there in the back. It's up, as we say kind of up in the holler. So there's not much. Not much going on up there. Dad's kind of got a little funny story about some people that stayed it's kind of good. I want her to hear this. I want her to complaint, you know and the whole time as we let Customers are coming in to purchase barrels or you know just coming to visit the client to stay there it's a three bedroom house and there was a group from New York bar owners and went up and visited them and they got him settled in and live next morning and came to the office as How was it? I don't know man sir. is too dark and too quiet. I 15:22 guess if you come from man had like good like sound machines have their 15:26 sleep in New York they used to yeah horns and he has a discerns and then up there there's no streetlights Yeah, so I mean you know the dark when the sun goes down, it's dark. I said well, we could had a lot of fun with him. We just snuck up burned picked on the wind. It's funny say the banjo in the background or something. 15:46 Really get them scared, 15:47 right? Fair enough as it was it sounded like but 15:50 you know, I'll have to read the review on Airbnb. Great place Lake but to quiet. 15:56 Three and a half, three and a half star 16:00 So the other thing I want to talk about the property alone, I mean, the bourbon boom is still growing. You all are still building warehouses. I mean, I used to drive by here going to Bardstown quite a bit in the past year, and you would be able to see there was you could see the skeleton growing outside of the warehouse. That was you could just see going down towards Bardstown. What are you all seeing right now with the growth in regards of like, are you able to still acquire more property around you? Or is it just kind of like hey, we've just got to make use of what we have right now. 16:29 We're making use of what we have but we're always looking with burn arm fours burner neighbor we're kind of you know, there's no way we're gonna get put warehouses over there but we're looking for joining property we can find any for possible growth in the future 16:45 with promise there's no flat ground here. There really 16:47 isn't a lot of waiting to get young. 16:49 I saw Yeah, I saw the you know, they're knocking out some limestone up there. Does that for another warehouse sir. 16:56 That's actually where the Fred B no craft distillery is gonna go. That call the new distillery is going to be going there we're getting some dirt work moving. But you know his point of Burnham actually they bought some land behind us here as well. So we're kind of surrounded on on two sides by Burnham which I mean you know all their conservation work so it's great for us as for our watershed to be able to have such great neighbors but it does from time to time kinda with no I mean there's just no land really available around us it's all kind of you know, bought up or housing has kind of come around a little bit as well. But luckily we do have a little bit of space at Boston where we can continue to put some new warehouses so all is good for now it beam we'll see how it goes in the future because you know, land is a very valuable commodity if we need to keep expanding warehouses. 17:43 I know it's harder one of the things to actually plan out if somebody was in the land or like Okay, now we're making pay top dollars, right? 17:49 real bad, right? Yeah. 17:51 Oh, yeah. That's running here. We want it Yeah. 17:54 Nobody cared about this stuff. for 20 years now they want the this land. 17:58 Well, it is funny even you know, we talk About the price of land around here and we're like, oh man, but the people in California, New York, they're like, what you pay? You pay? What? For? What? Yeah. 18:08 13,000 an acre. It sounds 18:11 crazy. Yeah, that sounds it sounds too cheap. They're like, yeah, they pay that in a mortgage for one month or something like that was some of the places some, so it kind of talks about about the Fred Urbino distillery, like what's what's the grand plans for it? You know, what's the what's the idea for it? 18:26 Yeah, I guess I'll kind of start on that one. It was an idea that I had had, I guess really, as as I was working on little book, and really getting into kind of product development. I noticed that you know, with blending, there's so many different aspects that you can go into, and drive different flavor through bringing these different streams together. And so as I was actually sharing the first batch of little book, coincidentally at my grandmother's bereavement, actually, our CEO would come down and we just chat and you know, after it was over, and he says anything on your mind. I said, you know, I'd really like to have a small distillery where we could do some experimentation, whether it be through mash bill through operating parameters, different barrel lengths, things like that on a smaller on a smaller scale. And so I let him taste a little book as kind of a teaser there to say, Hey, you know, this is kind of some of the things we could maybe come up with. And so that's kind of how it got going. And it's kind of evolved over time as it's been probably about a four year process of us getting kind of locked into what a where we want it down there at the bottom of the hill now. And then kind of what what it was going to serve its purpose and so we're going to be pulling into Booker's and bakers production. And kind of basically anything that is in our small batch or super premium category will be made in this distillery once we get it up and going, but it's also going to serve as kind of a playground as he said a couple of times for myself and some of our r&d team to really get in there. And, and for me, it's a lot about Learning about our current whisky even, you know, having the opportunity to get in there and put, you know, new probes and things like that, as you expand distilleries, a lot of times your your app or experimentation kind of goes to the wayside. And it's more about production needs, 20:15 and that and consistency, and I think that 20:17 you're exactly right quality and consistency. And so being able to kind of step back, almost kind of start at a smaller scale and be inefficient on purpose to where we can 20:28 actually screw up. Yes, right. And your work, you know, 20:32 you know, and that's kind of how I pitched it as we kind of got into some of the meetings was Hey, you know, I could make some of these adjustments in the distillery today, but when you all get a phone call and see the amount of gallons that I've, you know, made an adjustment just to see what would happen, whether it'd be a good or a bad thing you know, 20:48 know that all right, this 20:48 one thing quite turn out right? We have to scrap it. What 20:51 exactly so given us a good opportunity to be able to explore a lot further as as we try to look to expand the American whiskey agree 21:00 that was actually just kind of answered my next question because I was about to ask like, Why couldn't you just experiment with something else at this? And then you just said it's basically because of the larger production. So if you want to change a different ratio of the corn to the rye or anything like that, then you're not everything. Oh, yeah, you're kind of stuck with it for the next x to the X amount of years. Right? 21:19 You're exactly right. I think a lot of it comes down to having that smaller batch size to be able to do some of those things, whether it's tweaking the grain, or even, you know, we have a lot of unique vessels in our distillation system. We utilize some of them, we take some of them offline for some of our products. But as you say, it is today's time if I want to do a just that, you know, for Booker's, we bypass a retention tank. If I wanted to bypass the retention take in something else, essentially, I haven't been making Booker's it's an experiment. And we're pretty tight on still time. As you know, bourbon is just can't make enough of it. So really, those experiments can can be counterproductive, even if it do you do. Hit on Something good, you know, because you're missing regular production to do these things. Yeah. 22:03 So Fred, what do you think about that? Are you like, I think it's not broke, don't screw it up. 22:08 What are you doing? Either you have to my dad, he was always tinkering with stuff. Yeah, over to Boston plant over there, you know, in the book or no plant. You know, it was funny watching him, you know, Chicago folks would come down, they always visited Claremont. This is where the conference rooms were, this is where the bottling was. So over there and he always kind of called them in Siberia. I can do whatever I want to do. And the people from the house of knowledge as he used to call it, they didn't know what I was doing so he could he could tweak things and do things like Freddie's talking, and they never knew so he could make something and ease it right in and try different things. And nobody you know, ever knew but now everything is so allocated and steel time is so tight because you know, in the 70s they shut the Boston plan down so you know, they didn't really need the Liquid as much as we do today. Every hour is money big time. We need whatever we're making there. Now Freddie can play and do some stuff and that's when he took the ball and ran with it. There's a lot of people been trying to get this craft distillery for several years. But when he brought it up to Matt Shattuck, our former CEO, Matt jumped on it immediately. Then he goes back to as I called it, the house of knowledge and said, we would like to do this and all of a sudden, all this interest became Okay, we're gonna do it. You know, 23:32 Freddie, where did you get the interest for blended whiskies? What was that? What draw drew you to that? 23:38 It's kind of crazy. I've thought about it probably 1000 over 1000 times with like, when I like it came to me. I don't remember talking about it. Now I don't need I was gonna say I was gonna ask you to blend in but 23:52 we won't talk to one 23:58 whatever. You can find it the Time, right? 24:01 No, you know, I guess in reality just through learning in the distillery, you know, I don't recall if it was even before I came to the distillery, but I know as I had an internship, right as I was probably about a year and a half before I was finishing up College, where I went around to each department in the distillery or in the facility, not just the distillery, they're bottling and everything shipping. And it was kind of during that time that the the idea came to me because you know, I had had a beat in my head we use corn, rye and malted barley for Jim Beam. So from a very young kid, I knew those three grains were what made the liquid of Jim Beam. But so as I got into distilling and learning, I just kind of took me to if you took corn, whiskey rye whiskey and malt whiskey, individually and then blended them to those mash bill percentages. My thoughts were at four years old, what it tastes like Jim Beam or what it tastes like something not even close to bourbon, even though you're utilizing the same grains and so we're That's where it kind of started thing. And so at the end of that internship went back to school. I just remember thinking about that and thinking, I'm not gonna ask anybody this question. So I don't feel like a dumb man. Because I didn't know you know, I mean, I was like, is this a stupid question? The hell? I wouldn't know. Right? So I got a chance later to do an internship with our r&d team. And really, really, it was about me getting in there and learning their processes and how they affect our our day to day business. And they kind of pitched to me to come up with a couple of prototype liquids while I was there. One of them I don't really like to talk about, but it's kind of funny. Let's Let's hear it. Okay. I will go on and bring it out. The best part about it listen to these things are things that just no lighter. Yeah, right. So I tell it from time to time, but not too much. But so they said we want you to before you go back to the plant, I want you to kind of act as an r&d product developer, and pitch to us two different prototype liquids. And they gave me a couple of rules. One of them could be a bourbon or a whiskey. And the other one could not be. So I couldn't just do to you know, I couldn't just go get a six year old and a nine year old and say, Oh, this is two new whiskies that aren't out on the market. And then one of them because I had been working with flavoring, you know, we at Pinnacle vodka was very popular at that time. So we were working on a lot of different flavors in that aspect. So a lot of my time was working with them as well learning what they do. So they had pitched it as one of them could be a bourbon, one of them couldn't. And one of them needed to have some type of flavoring to it. So I went to work on which also makes sense because even like the apple and everything like that they're very popular absolute drinks out there for a lot of the consumers. Absolutely. So I, you know, me being me, I guess I wanted to knock out both of those rules on one so I could focus on the other and do exactly what I wanted. 26:50 Fred is this is this, just another shortcut that he's just taken? Is that what this is I get to go 26:58 back a long road versus Short road he's gonna take it which is that's good. It was much like his grandfather. I see a lot of booger in Freddy. It's a It's amazing. So you know, as a kid I liked Hawaiian Punch juicy red juice. Oh, I think everybody loved 27:12 it. Yeah. 27:14 But so i thought you know, we go to the beach every year for vacation, I thought if I could develop a liquid that I could just sip on the rocks or even if you just put it in a cooler and chilled it and just drink it neat. You know, I like fruity cocktails on the beach from time to time. It's nice and nice and warm out. So I thought I'm going to create this. I called it rum punch and it was going to be juicy red juice flavored 27:37 romaine. I thought you're gonna say push up. 27:40 Close, but not quite. It's a Howard's down drink. Yeah. So I went to work on that. And dad was there. This is where it was interesting. So as I'm getting ready, do my presentation. They're like, Oh, we invited your dad and I think even the plant manager to come see your presentation because I was presenting the sounds like great. Not only did I work on Something with flavors and kind of rum. They invited my dad to taste the same thing. But so that one that one wasn't very good. It didn't taste anything like Hawaiian Punch juicy red juice. And I wouldn't I don't know that anybody's even sipped I've still got the sample bottle at home. I don't know if anybody's even tried it since I 28:19 since I made it. What did it turn out to be like? What did it actually taste like? 28:22 It didn't taste it kind of tastes like fruit punch a little bit. Just a boozy fruit. It was kind of a boozy fruit punch 28:32 wasn't before your time like now the ready to drink category is booming right now so maybe it's just a few years too early 28:38 to revisit exactly one of our marketing guys gives me some some shit I guess he'll say you know because he talks about a little bit he's like your next products going to be that that room punch I promise you we're gonna make sure that's the next probably you and i t shirt. Don't give him any more. I got plenty on his own. But so that's kind of I thought, you know, got that one out of the way. I will Walking around up there to the lab and I seen some samples of four year old corn whiskey. Obviously we had four year old rye whiskey. And that's kind of where that thought really sparked in my head was I'm gonna try this blend that I have been thinking about, that hadn't really talked to anybody about. And so that's kind of how it started. I created what I call it was Jim being blended. And it was a four year old corn whiskey blended with a four year old rye whiskey and a four year old malt whiskey blended back to the percentage, the Jim Beam Asheville. It wasn't very good either. It was very corn forward, you know, it's organic, right? In theory that Yeah, early and today I was excited. And, you know, to be dabbling in blending. I already had a good idea, you know, with the mash bill percentages, that I was going to do the certain percentages. So it was a little bit simpler than that. And then some of my blending has become as I've worked on little book, but it really opened my eyes because that one wasn't that great. But I tweaked it a little bit as I was in the lecture. Just to see if there was any differences as you change and that's really what sparked my interest in blending was getting in there and, and traveling something that I had kind of had in my head and was really honestly a little worried to share it because I thought it might be a stupid question, you know, but I kind of come to learn that there's there's not a lot of stupid questions sometimes. The most simple question can lead you to some great things. What's her 30:21 what's kinda like the hardest part about blending that you've really found out? Like, is it just trying something you're like, it's gonna work I'll get a bunch of wasted product like what's what's the hardest part you figured out about blending so far? 30:31 I guess the for me the hardest part is, or I guess the most challenging would be, you know, if you've got four liquids and you put them at 25% each, by doubling up on one or you know, doubling a little bit, not doubling but adding a little bit more say 10% more of another and dropping percentages. It's not as apples to apples as the flavor being closer to the original one stream. As those liquids kind of mingled together. They really take on different For an identity, and I think that's where I thought blending, you know, if if I like this at 20%, if I add 23%, and I'm looking to get a, say a longer finish, and I know the other two liquids I'm using or three liquids I'm using have a shorter finish. You know, sometimes you think by adding more of the one that is giving the attributes, you think it actually throws the whole blend out of balance, and has negative aspects of it. The one good thing is you get to taste a lot of samples. And when you're blending, as I say, with with straight whiskies or straight spirits that that are phenomenal on their own, it's, it's kind of hard to say that it's a bad blend, it's just maybe not the exact direction you want to go. So I get a taste a lot of good samples. But I think the challenging part is, when you have an idea or you're trying to hit on something, whether it be like I said, a longer finish or maybe a little more aroma on the nose. Getting to those places from where you are is a lot more challenging than just maybe adding a couple more drops of this or that and 31:58 go ahead I was gonna say After you come up with the kind of your blend and it's like nail, you're like this is awesome in the tube. But then like, does that always translate to a bigger batch you know, Are there times when they get bigger like this did not turn out like they always tell us every barrel is a little bit different 32:13 it is you know, and I think we do a really good job after I've gotten to a prototype in my my test tube there, we'll go out and get some more samples of different barrels from the same lots that I'll be utilizing for a little book or whatever we're working on, just to make sure that because when we're doing a small blend, you could go get one barrel of each liquid, and you could blend for months because you know, it's just one barrel. So a lot of liquids there and you're only blending in a lot of times, maybe 3753 or 750 ml sizes, so there's a lot of whiskey. So going back and then picking different barrels from that same area or same date that it was distilled, just to make sure it's hitting those profiles. So before I finalize, we make sure that the liquids are going to be variable Similar. And then of course, at the end, if when we're dumping for bottling knock on wood, it hasn't happened yet. But for the first three little books, each of them was was very similar and aligned with the profile that I was looking for. But we'll see how that continues to go because we do keep reserved barrels just think I never tried to use every single barrel because if you want to make a little tweak, and you've already dumped every barrel, you're kind of kind of pigeon holed there. So hopefully, like I said, knock on wood that our process continues to go as it does. But as you said it every barrel is a little bit different No matter if they're side by Saturday and totally different warehouses. So it's, it's that's kind of where the art comes into it a lot, for sure. And so Fred, part of this is, you know, what was your kind of like past blending experience? I mean, is it if you try to recreate something that Freddie's doing here, have you been focused on like, production operation and stuff like that, rather than sitting here and saying, like, okay, let's start blending a lot of different products to see if we can make something new. Well, we you know, we mingled a lot is funny. We don't blend we mingle when Freddie got into the blending has no that was always a curse word in bourbon. Yes. You know until a little book, you know, he really crawls the path that got people thinking about blending in bourbon because, you know, when you say blended in this state, you start thinking about great neutral spirits and colors and flavors, which that's not bourbon. But when we had the Suntory acquisition, I was tasked and it was actually after Freddie had done his first version of little book to work with Cindy the chief Blender from Suntory to bring east and west together. So we actually blended and created the product Legion, which it was essentially was doing the same thing dad did, we're finishing bourbon in secondary barrels and then taking those fluids and putting them together. So that's where we kind of dip my toes in, in the blending but we were tasked For the from the CEO of Suntory. And that's what they wanted us to do to bring the two cultures together. And it was a learning experience for me. First we had to learn to be able to understand each other are 35:15 very, very different. You have a translator between you too, 35:18 like no, we used to, I guess our eyes when we tasted, you can look at each other's eyes and tell he speaks much better English than I do Japanese. 35:29 So mostly it was Cindy trying to figure out what I was saying. And then sometimes when we get on conference calls, I didn't have a clue what it was okay, whatever you say Sanjay and he was sent samples, and we would get together whenever he was here in the States. or whenever I was in Japan, we would sit and just taste, taste, taste, taste, taste, and it was a it was a learning experience for me, but I kind of saw what Freddie did with his little book because the variant just a little bit more of this and a little bit less than that. It can change it dramatically. Also, the mingling in the tank, just because it tastes like this today, it doesn't mean it's gonna taste like that tomorrow because we did sign with Legion we would taste and then the next day we taste it was wait a minute didn't taste the same. So the mingling together after you blended the fluids, so we've got tanks that we built specially for this product down here and it's got a slow row agitation in it. So that mix it up and we don't just mix it, blend it and bottle it we make sure it sits in this tank in the tank never goes dry. Some of the techniques that Cinzia uses in Japan, which over here for four, we fill the tank with liquid, we ran it dry and then we came back and did it again. We never left heels as we called it in there and dumped it on top of them. 36:52 I mean is that the same thing as considering like the selection method, but usually people call it 36:57 in regards to that maybe a little bit but we don't let it go. Lately driving a little bit left and he's dumping on top, so it's as all new and we had to train our operators here at the plant because they weren't used to that kind of technique on production. So it was a learning curve for all of us here in Kentucky and I know it was a learning curve for Cinzia in Japan because he'd never played with Bourbons before, he was amazed the temperature here and the finishing, how quick bourbon will take on the flavor from say, red wine barrel, or Sherry cask. You know, he was thinking maybe two summers after one, we'd already picked up flavors that he was ready for. So kinda. It was like, a big learning curve just like Freddie's learning with he is, we learned a lot for this Legion. And so it's been it's been fun to watch and to get involved even late in my career to get to do a little blending and play with it. And it makes me appreciate more what Fred has been doing, because I understand it's not just dumping things together. A graduated cylinder and saying, well, I want to 20% of the 30% of that. In loans, your numbers add up to 100. And you're good, not. That's not how it works, you know, it's trial and error. And then what strength Do you bottle at? I mean, there's a lot of variables that you can change a lot by just a little bit of water maybe or your finishing times. It was a, it was a great, 38:24 great experience for me. I just realized, I've been saying it wrong the whole entire time. I always said legend, right. So Legion now now and I believe I'm starting to say, I don't 38:32 know if that's a 38:34 word or not. 38:36 It's coming from the Gospel of you right now. So that's what I'm gonna talk about the 38:40 gospel of Fred. 38:43 I sent you down some dark paths. 38:48 So gonna also talk about the time commitment that went into it, because I mean, you just said that there were times when either you know he was coming here. You're going to Japan your mailing and shipping samples back and forth. Like what was the I'm assuming it was a at least had been over a year or two ago. Somebody said, Hey, we're gonna go ahead and do this. But how long did it really take to actually start from concept to finalization? There are more craft distilleries popping up around the country now more than ever before. So how do you find the best stories and the best flavors? Well, rack house whiskey club is a whiskey of the Month Club, and they're on a mission to uncover the best flavors and stories that craft distilleries across the US have to offer rack houses box shipped out every two months to 39 states across the US and rack houses April box there featuring a distillery that mixes Seattle craft, Texas heritage and Scottish know how rack house whiskey club is shipping out to whiskies from two bar spirits located near downtown Seattle, including their straight bourbon, go to a rack house whiskey club calm to check it out and try some for yourself.

Let's talk about that and more right now.Hi Forex traders, it's Andrew Mitchem here, owner of the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 268. I want to talk to you about a really common problem that almost all currency traders go throughUnderstanding which time frame chart to tradeIt's all about understanding which timeframe chart you should be trading. You see, a lot of people get really confused by this. They think that they must be needing to trade short timeframe charts because that's where the price action is, right? That's what everybody tells you, you need to be trading five minute charts and scalping, looking for all these small movements within the overall flow of the day. A lot of people also get confused with thinking that I can't trade longer timeframe charts because the stop loss needs to be too big, and I don't have a big enough account size. So there's all these misconceptions there; both of which, by the way, are completely wrong. There are ways around all of these things.What can you do to select the right chart to tradeWhat can you do to select which timeframe chart you need to trade? Well, a lot of it comes down to having the ability to be open and flexible and to basically see what's happening in the market right now, because no one really knows like next week what's going to happen. No one knows. You can have predictions and economists and all these type of things going on, but really nobody knows what's going to happen. All we can do is see what's happening right now. So to give you a great example. Today is Friday … It's Friday the 13th. It's Friday the 13th of April, 2018, when I'm recording this right now.Examples of how to select the best time frameThis last week has been very, very poor for trading the daily charts. There have been very few set ups. I love trading the daily charts, and I post daily chart set ups to my clients on our membership site and there have been very few this week. So it's not to say that everybody has missed out, it's to say that the daily charts for whatever reason, and it's quite rare, but for whatever reason have not produced very many high quality set ups this week.Also, the weekly charts this week on Monday there were no suitable, in my opinion, weekly chart set ups. Now the weekly charts are less surprising, because last week was Easter and then on last Friday we had the US monthly job report, so not a lot happened last week. So I can understand the weekly charts for this particular week not showing a great deal. However, it's been quite an unusual week in that the daily charts, the longer timeframes, have not shown much also.Live webinar with my clientsHowever, I took a webinar last night … I had a live, two hour webinar with my clients like I do every two weeks. By the way, every week in between Paul Tillman holds the US webinar sessions. So clients get a weekly two hour webinar. But last night I held a webinar. Two hours long, and on that webinar I showed many, many great examples from just this week of the six hour chart trades showing some very good quality set ups. Also in general it was the commodity currencies, the New Zealand dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Aussie dollar,

We are rolling once again on The Writer Files with a special guest who dropped by today, Mr. David Sax, author, writer, reporter. Thanks so much for popping on the show to talk about your writing process. David Sax: Yeah. My pleasure, Kelton. Writing at the Intersections of Business and Culture Kelton Reid: We should be recording this really on an 8-track recorder, or some kind of analog device, but unfortunately, we are recording this over the interwebs. The new book, The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter. Thanks so much for coming on to talk to me a little bit about that. Maybe, for listeners who aren’t familiar with your journey as a writer, maybe you could just give us a little bit of your origins. David Sax: Yeah. I was a kid whose parents sent him copies of Newsweek to summer camp, and National Geographic. I was raised in a magazine-loving house and I think pretty much always wanted to be a journalist and writer, and so began writing when I was at that same summer camp for the camp newspaper. I think that was the first and probably best work I ever did. In university, wrote for the campus newspaper, and then afterward wanted to be a foreign correspondent. When I graduated, I ended up moving to South America as a freelancer and got my start in Argentina and Brazil for a couple of years, basically freelancing for whoever would take whatever I was writing. That was Canadian newspapers, and news magazines, and radio stations when I first got down there, because I’m from Canada, and then increasingly American newspapers and magazines and everything from travel and wine to politics and business stuff. When I moved back, I continued that. I’ve always been a freelancer. I’ve never had an actual job since teaching skiing, I think was the last job, real job I had. In the years since, I’ve written for all sorts of publications, largely in magazines and increasingly focused around business and culture. I wrote two books previously before this one on food. One was called Save the Deli, about the Jewish delicatessen business. The other one was called The Tastemakers, about the world of food trends and how they’re shaped. Wrote about food for a number of years and then that segued into writing about business, largely for Bloomberg Businessweek. Now, I guess, it’s that mix of writing about where business and culture meet. I find that business is often one of the best ways to get at culture. With this book, even though it’s about … Many of it are about cultural things: vinyl records, music, paper, and pens, and drawing, and writing. Even things like board games. There are cultural objects, and the interactions with them are very much cultural things. The way into that is through the business. How does this grow? How does this actually make money? Behind all those things, there’s always a market. That’s tends to be where I find my focus, at least these days. Kelton Reid: Yeah. It’s a pretty fascinating path to where you are now. I understand, the Save the Deli book actually won a James Beard award, a literary award, which I thought was pretty cool, because that is the storied institution. Really cool to see. I’m a huge fan of your New Yorker columns, especially one that you wrote recently, I think, about bookstores. I think the title of that was What Barnes & Noble Doesn’t Get About Bookstores, which we’ve talked about actually on the show with some other writers. David Sax: Interesting. Kelton Reid: But, The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter is a look at this resurgence of analog goods and ideas during this kind of the height of the digital age. We’re all seeing it, we’re all experiencing it. Maybe if we didn’t notice the creep before this, you’re certainly … The more you look around, the more you see exactly that, the revenge of analog, the rise of analogs. The opposite of the terminator, right? David Sax: It is John Connor in that existence coming back. Kelton Reid: That’s right. David Sax: “Come with me if you want to live.” Kelton Reid: Yeah. Amazon is kind of Skynet, or whatever. Yeah. Kevin Kelly had some great things to say about it. He’s also a guest on this show. You guys, it sounds like had the same background, lovers of print magazines and globetrotters and doing stuff around the world. Finding the focus and connecting these other disparate ideas. It’s fascinating stuff. Kelly said, “The better digital gets, the more important analog becomes. Sax’s reporting is eye-opening and mind-changing, and I believe it’s a great book. Listeners should seek it out. Very cool. Why Your Best Ideas Come to You in the Shower Kelton Reid: Yeah. Let’s talk about your process a little bit. Just get into your … What are you working on now? Are you working on another book? Are you doing … David Sax: No. This one just came out and I’m guilty of this that … I’ll have this laser-like focus on working on a book, and I love it. I love that ability to lose myself in it and dive deep, but I foolishly probably put too much mental energy into that for such a concentrated period of time. It’s like, “Okay. This is the pub date. This is the pub date. You just got to get the pub date and then life will just be easy,” or something. I can’t mentally put myself beyond it. I’ve had a few ideas that I flirted with over the past couple of months, but nothing that’s taken any concrete shape now. Now, I’m just to the point where I’m still working to promote the book, writing things around it. I guess in the New Year, I’ll start figuring out what next, whether that’s another book, or something else. I’m not 100% sure. I got nothing, basically. Kelton Reid: It will come to you. David Sax: That’s my process. Kelton Reid: It will come to you in the shower. David Sax: I know. It always … What is it? Maybe that’s the book. Maybe it’s just a 100-page business management memoir like, “How to Think in the Shower?” And then all of these offices will just install shower cabinets. Everyone will just be constantly, “Just got to take a shower to think about this idea.” It’s true. A lot of the best ideas come to me, and I don’t know why. Why is that? Why do you think that is? Kelton Reid: It’s a good question. I guess, maybe, it’s like a private place to incubate your ideas. There’s something about … You can relax there and suddenly your mind is on something. David Sax: There’s no other distraction. There’s no e-mail. There’s no call. There’s nothing else that’s coming at you. It’s a thoroughly analog space. I just moved my office to a different part of my house, because we had a baby. Now he gets his own room. Good for him. I’m now five feet from where the shower is. So, in theory There have been times over the past month and a half since I’ve moved the office up here where I’m writing something, frustrated, “Oh gosh! It’s time to go take a shower. I got to go out, meet someone.” That is the solo-writers thing. It’s like, “Oh! It’s 5:00, I gotta take a shower.” I step in there and it’s like, you know, the water s on, “Oh my God! That’s it. That’s it.” Often, there’s times when it comes too late, when it’s like I’ve sent the story off. The editor already has it. I’ve sent off the pitch. After I send this, “Wait! No. I have an even better way of thinking about it. Which is often not, actually, better. Kelton Reid: You talked about that a little bit in the book. You talked about … It’s a little bit of aside, but you talked about office design becoming intentionally analog. Maybe there is something to be said for that intentionally analog moment, while we’re all so obviously plugged in and distracted Anyway, it’s all coming back to the book. The Importance of Impeccable Research for Great Non-Fiction Kelton Reid: When you dig into a big piece, like The Revenge of Analog, it seems just deeply impeccably researched. How much time per day when, you’re working on a piece like that, are you actually reading, and calling, and digging around for those nuggets? David Sax: Yeah. This book took a longer process to get going than the previous ones. This book really began when I was actually in the midst of writing my first book. I had come back from doing the research on Save the Deli, it’s back in 2007, and had a variety of different ideas about analog at the time that I started doing some research on. I wrote up a new book proposal. The publisher wasn’t interested. Then I put it away. Then a couple months later, I came back to it from a totally different approach, and then they weren’t interested in that and put that that away. Then, you know, like an agent, trying to sell it to different publishers. Every couple of years, I’d come back to it and I would do a little more research into what was going on, more into what Moleskine was doing, or some of the film companies, or vinyl records, or whatever. When it finally came time to actually … I was talking with an old publisher that I had, we’d had lunch before my last book was coming in. He’s like, “What about that analog thing?” I was like, “Yeah. There’s something to that.” Then I got back on the horse. Again, I went back in, I read a few more books that had come out. I tried to … Like Kevin Kelly’s book, for example. I tried to … Which was fascinating and fantastic. It really steered my thinking in a new direction. Then wrote up the proposal. Once it got to the point where the publisher was like, “Okay. We will buy this. Here is your contract. Here is the due date.” Essentially, it was a year from that point until the first draft of the main script is delivered. From, let s say, September of 2014, or the summer of 2014 … Yeah, the summer of 2014 until Labor Day of last year, 2015, I was researching and writing pretty much full-time. The freelance stuff, I kind of trickled down to just a bare minimum and was just heads down on this. I would make a … There was this initial phase of general exploration and going to the library and pulling tons of books out on these different subjects and doing that initial research and figuring out what the different components would be and who I would talk to. Then, probably around the beginning of that period, let’s say, the fall, September, Labor Day, I was like, “Okay. I really got to get to work.” I basically will go into my calendar and I would just block out like, “Okay. These three weeks are going to vinyl. These three weeks are going to be this chapter. These three weeks is going to be that.” Then it would just be hitting it … Just intensely as many interviews as I could do, whether it’s a trip, or going to Nashville for four or five days and interviewing as many people as I could in that time. Or going to Italy, or wherever. Another thing is like … Okay, then this week, as many interviews as I can schedule with people. To the point where it was literally interviews from, let’s say, 10 in the morning until four in the afternoon. Most of that is determined by daycare pickup and drop off times. Then, “This time to read this book, and this time to It’s just like full-on five days a week during those key times. Of course, in person, which is the part that I actually really enjoyed. Traveling somewhere and meeting people, talking with them. That’s the good stuff. That was, I would say, eight months. Then at the beginning of spring, “Okay. Let’s go through all the notes of every single interview, and every single chapter, and then let’s go chapter by chapter. Four days to write this chapter. Four days to write that chapter. Four days every week. One chapter every week for these weeks, plus three weeks of reviewing, and send it off.” Kelton Reid: Amazing. David Sax: Yeah. It’s very … I find that methodology is grounding. I need that strict deadline timeframe. Stick to it. Go, go, go. Keep plowing your head. Then it just makes it so much more manageable and less daunting. Kelton Reid: Nice. You talk about Moleskine journals and the revival of that, which I thought was also very fascinating. When you’re interviewing or you’re on the road, or whatever, are you getting notes into an audio format first and then transcribing? Are you writing notes by hand? How are you capturing? David Sax: When I’m the road, I am interviewing people with handwritten notes. When I am at home, I will type on the computer, because I could type faster than I could write. The reason why I wouldn’t type, take a laptop on the road and type up my notes as I’m talking to people is because, one, it’s very impractical. Because a lot of the time, I’m walking around the factory, walking around the city, having lunch with someone in a restaurant, or wherever. Also, if you put a laptop screen between yourself and someone else, it totally changes the nature of the conversation. I think, also, if you put a recorder in front of someone, it does that too. They become much more guarded. I sacrifice a certain amount of accuracy, and I realize I’m not a national security reporter. So I have some leeway in that. I find it that it allows a much more fluid conversation to happen and this is much more disarming. Whereas, when I’m talking to someone on the phone, I’m clickety-clacking away. It s less … The conversation is more formal, and so on. A Road Map for Cranking out 3,000-4,000 Words a Day Kelton Reid: Yeah. For sure. That’s very interesting. When you’re sitting down and get really to it and get to work on those chapters, are you sitting in the office? Do you like to go out to a coffee shop, or you’re just head down? David Sax: No. I work at home in my little space, which has now been moved. You could tell the bitterness of losing my office. It s a slightly Yeah. Now, I share room with the living room-ish TV, but it’s okay. Yeah, I’m very … Just kind of rooted, and sitting down. When I’m actually doing the writing, I’ll turn on the Freedom app, which is the one the blocks off the Internet for an hour or an hour and a half spurt and just go. Once I’m going, I could crank out 3,000 words, 4,000 words in a day at top pace, and really just crank. The way that I do it is I’ll first … Let’s say I’m working on a chapter or an article. The first thing I do is basically do just bullet point, how it’s all going to go, and then fill in the quotes of what quote I’m going to do here and then go back to the notes that I’m making sure I have all the different perspectives. It’s all sketched out in this Word document and then I’d just go in and start filling that in and actually building it into narrative and paragraphs. Sometimes it takes its own direction, but I have that roadmap of where I’m going. I remember doing that in the first book. The first chapter was brutal. Then finally, I found that method, and then it just … Again, it s like, “This is very clear. I know where I’m going,” and then it’s just a matter of cranking out. It’s interesting, by the end, I could time it down to the hour of when I’m going to be finished. It’s like, “Okay. Friday …” It’s a Friday afternoon. I want to be done by three. I know I can do it. I can probably write these things even quicker if I didn’t want to futz around. I think the futzing around is good for your mental health and sanity. Kelton Reid: For sure. Do you sit down with a cup of coffee? Do you put on headphones? Do you have any rituals that get you in the mode? David Sax: No. I’m pretty … I might have tea or something like that. I try to keep coffees to one a day or I go crazy. I make sure to get up every hour and stretch. I like to get out for lunch or walk. I was fortunate to have done the writing for this book over the course of the summer. It was a much better environment of getting after it and actually being able to go walk. I was looking forward to, every day, to go and pick up my daughter from daycare, because that was 15 minutes there, 15 minutes back, outside, going to the playground. Just mentally giving myself a bit of a break from staring at the screen all day. Kelton Reid: Yeah. All right, here’s the million dollar question. Do you believe in writer’s block? David Sax: I don’t believe in writer’s block, but I’m not a novelist. I think, if you had to create things from scratch and conjure up worlds of fiction, I imagine that it’s something that would be very, very real. For me, I’m translating what I’ve known into some sort of coherent or semi-coherent format, right? It’s like, “Here s the places I went. Here’s the thing I thought,” yada yada yada yada yada. On and on and on for 300 and so pages. It’s there. It happened. Those thoughts are … The thoughts have already happened. Sometimes, there’s a sentence or a paragraph or some section that stops me up for a little bit, then I guess I go take a shower, or go outside and walk, or something. I found that plowing through it is the key. You can kind of be frozen up by that page and you just have to press on, keep clacking the fingers. You can always go back and change it. That’s the beauty of the digital, or even a typewriter. None of it s permanent. It’s all going to be changed and edited. You can’t be wedded to it. You ve just got to keep moving. I think that goes for a line, or a paragraph, or a book, or a career, even, in this. I recently saw Emma Donoghue, the novelist, talk at the Toronto Public Library, and there’s 500 people there. She just had her new book came out. She was talking about Room and the success of the movie. This was her 12th novel that she’s done. Yeah, Room was a huge international bestseller, and this one’s done well too. She said, “I’ve talked to rooms of five people, it s just like that constantly, you ve just got to keep that forward momentum going.” I think, unless you get so successful like Harper Lee and Steinbeck … Not Steinbeck, but … Oh gosh, I’m totally blanking … Salinger. That you can afford to, like, “I have writer’s block! Leave me to my millions.” How Printing and Editing Your Work on Paper Can Improve Your Writing Kelton Reid: Yeah. You mentioned typewriters. I think it’s always fascinating to look at typed pages of manuscripts of your famous authors, like Hemingway, or whatever, and see all the marginalia and the editing scratch-outs. It’s so cool to see something like that and to … Having never actually worked on a typewriter like that. I think when we had typewriters, when I was a kid, they still had the autocorrect, auto-erase features where you could actually erase a … David Sax: The electric typewriter. Kelton Reid: Yeah. The electric typewriter. David Sax: For my first book, I remember sending it in, whatever, Microsoft Word file, and my editor sending back a thing in the mail of red marked-up pages. I was like, “This is crazy. We live in the 21st century.” This is like … “What if this got lost in the mail? You shouldn t even send this by courier. You sent this just by mail.” And then as I actually sat down and started getting into it, I realized the benefit of that. With this book, obviously, everything I did … I didn’t write the book out on typewriters. Many people have asked. I did it in Microsoft Word, but I made sure every time I finished a draft of the book, I would send it to a printers, and go to the printers, pick up 400, whatever, pages, and go through it with pen and pencil and do it by hand. I think you perceive the work differently on paper. When it’s on the page, you see it in its intended format and things jump out at you. Whether it’s something you might catch, or just a way something looks on a page, is very different from how it looks and reads on a screen. There’s also something gratifying about the first time you print it off and you’re actually holding that. Even the early version, the manuscript version of your book in your hand. There’s that tactile pleasure and some sense of reward to it, like, “All right, I’m going to go out to lunch today.” Kelton Reid: Yeah. For sure. I think every mentor I’ve ever had has said to print your stuff out on paper and edit it that way. It’s a great trick, but it works. It’s effective. There’s something to be said for that tactile, kinesthetic editing mode. David Sax: Yeah. Like I find that I’ll be less … On the computer, I’ll be reluctant to delete a page, or a paragraph, or a section of something. Whereas, when I see it on the page, on a printed page, I have no problem just drawing a line through it, kicking it to the curb, because you instantly see that. Whereas on the computer, there’s this reluctance, for some reason, that I did not find in my research, definitively. Kelton Reid: For sure.

Today we're going to use Google Analytics to investigate performance according to time. What do I mean by that? That means we're going to investigate performance on our website. It could be visits, it could be e-Commerce transactions or revenue over a unit of time, either hour of the day. For example, how does traffic or conversions at 6 AM differ from 10 PM? It could be day of the week, so how is revenue on our Monday different from revenue on our Friday? It could be week of the year. How is week three of the year different from week 52 if you want to look into seasonality? Why would you want to do this, you're probably asking right now. Well, if you've got your best offer, for example, you don't want to send out that offer on a day during which no one's on the site or during which no one has historically responded to your emails. Those are two examples of why you'd want to know this. If you go to investigate performance over time, Google Analytics, the first thing you may or may not notice is it's not really broken out here on the left hand side.
