You can do a lot with money. After you’ve spent it on necessities like food, housing, and education, if you’ve got money to spare you can buy stuff. Or, you can use your excess money to make more money. There are fundamentally two ways of doing this. Investing. And gambling. There are people who will argue that those two are actually the same. It’ll be interesting to see if my lunch guests today draw any similarity between their two occupations – which are, investing and gambling. On the investment side, Mike Eckert is Chairman of an organization called Gulf South Angels. The word “angels” refers to angel investors. These are people who put money into very early-stage businesses where there might be little more to invest in than a concept, a business plan, and an enthusiastic founder. The last time we met Mike was 2014. At that time he was launching a New Orleans angel investment group called NOLA Angel Network. That was to become the nucleus of the current, much larger organization. Gulf South Angels network is spread across 12 states. There are around 135 angel members. And to date they’ve invested over $20m in a diverse range of companies, from aerospace to pet food. And so, to the other method of using your surplus capital to generate more money: gambling. If you’re a certain age you may remember a time when there was no legalized gambling in the state of Louisiana. The state legislature eventually figured out a way to compromise between the anti-gambling faction and the pro-gambling folks, by allowing gambling, without actually allowing it. They achieved this seemingly impossible feat by permitting gambling only on riverboats, not on land. But they also allowed riverboats to tie up to a dock, and didn’t require them to actually sail anywhere. One of these gambling vessels was the Treasure Chest Casino Riverboat, tied up to a dock in Kenner. Well, as they tend to, times change. Somehow, the non-gambling folks were won over and today Louisiana has a number of what we still call, “land-based casinos.” In June 2024, just over the levee from the riverboat, a much bigger, land-based casino and entertainment center, called The Treasure Chest, opened in Kenner’s Laketown neighborhood. The Director of Marketing at Treasure Chest Casino is Rodney Miller. In the 1980’s, a book about deal-making called “Getting To Yes” popularized the concept of “win win” – conflict resolution in which both parties feel they have benefited, rather than one side winning at the expense of the other. This same feeling - that everybody benefits - is the core belief of both casinos and angel investors. At the casino, the theory goes, even if you don’t come out ahead financially, you’ve had a good time. And, like any other pastime, hopefully you only spent discretionary capital, not your rent money. With angel investing, the theory goes, you’re risking your own money by sinking it into somebody else’s dream - but if it works out, everybody wins. Whether this is how you think the world works, or whether you’re more of a cynic with less of a Pollyanna perspective, there are always going to be people with discretionary income looking for a way to invest it. Whether that’s gambling or angel investing, for Mike and Rodney it’s win-win. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

This is Real Talk, a podcast conversation where we're digging deep into breast cancer and the realities patients and survivors face every day. We're talking openly and honestly about just how difficult breast cancer can be, from being diagnosed to selecting the right treatment plan, to living day to day with metastatic breast cancer, and life after treatment ends. In today's episode, we're talking about getting to “yes.” Yes looks different for everyone and there's no right or wrong way to get there. But getting there is the goal of today's conversation. I'm delighted to welcome Lisa Mannina and Jennifer Muniga to tell us more about the breast cancer experiences and how they've processed through the range of emotions, feelings and setbacks, to get to a place where they want to make the decisions that are best for them. They want to say “yes” to what's important and “yes” to doing what's best for them and their future.
Chapter 1:Summary of Getting To Yes"Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In," written by Roger Fisher, William Ury, and Bruce Patton, is a seminal book on negotiation strategy that advocates for principled negotiation. The book emphasizes the importance of finding mutual gains and collaborative solutions, rather than engaging in adversarial bargaining. Key Concepts:1. Principled Negotiation: The authors propose a method of negotiation that focuses on interests rather than positions. This means negotiators should seek to understand and address the underlying interests of both parties.2. Four Fundamental Principles:- Separate the People from the Problem: Negotiators should maintain a good relationship while addressing the substantive issues at hand.- Focus on Interests, Not Positions: Instead of taking fixed positions, negotiators should explore the interests behind those positions to find common ground.- Generate Options for Mutual Gain: Creativity in brainstorming potential solutions can lead to agreements that benefit both parties.- Use Objective Criteria: Decisions should be based on objective standards, such as laws, precedents, or expert opinions, rather than the will of either party.3. BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement): The book stresses the importance of knowing your best alternative if negotiations fail. This awareness empowers negotiators and helps them avoid agreeing to unfavorable terms.4. Communication: Effective communication is critical in negotiations. The authors advocate active listening and clear expression of interests to foster understanding.5. Emotional Intelligence: Recognizing emotions—both your own and those of the other party—can lead to more effective negotiation outcomes. Conclusion:"Getting to Yes" is a guide for those looking to negotiate effectively and fairly, promoting a win-win approach that can lead to sustainable and amicable agreements. The principles outlined have been widely embraced in various fields, including business, mediation, and conflict resolution.Chapter 2:The Theme of Getting To Yes"Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In" is a seminal work in the field of negotiation, co-authored by Roger Fisher, William Ury, and Bruce Patton. The book outlines a principled approach to negotiation that emphasizes collaboration and mutual benefit rather than adversarial tactics. Here are some key plot points (ideas), character development (the roles of negotiators), and thematic concepts presented in the book: Key Plot Points (Ideas):1. Principled Negotiation: The authors advocate for a method of negotiation that focuses on interests rather than positions. This approach encourages parties to explore their underlying needs and desires, leading to more sustainable agreements.2. Four Pillars of Principled Negotiation:- People: Separate the people from the problem. This point emphasizes the importance of maintaining good relationships and not letting personal issues interfere with the negotiation process.- Interests: Focus on interests, not positions. Negotiators should identify what each party truly wants instead of just defending their initial stance.- Options: Generate a variety of possibilities before deciding on an agreement. Collaboration can lead to creative solutions that satisfy both sides.- Criteria: Use objective criteria to evaluate options. This helps prevent negotiations from becoming power struggles and ensures that agreements are based on fair standards.3. BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement): Understanding and developing one's BATNA is crucial. This concept emphasizes that knowing the alternatives to a negotiated agreement empowers negotiators to pursue better outcomes and avoid unfavorable deals.4.

The book has been influential in the field of spiritual psychology and continues to inspire readers interested in the metaphysical aspects of existence.Chapter 2:The Theme of Journey of Souls"Journey of Souls" by Michael Newton is a groundbreaking work in the field of spiritual psychology and offers insights into the afterlife through the exploration of past life regression and soul experiences.

Kaveh Zamanian is a cool customer. The founder of Rabbit Hole Distillery, Kaveh's relaxed personality is immediately apparent. That's not to say that he hasn't felt the anxiety and strain of building a brand. As he tells it, Kaveh had spent many nights on his knees “praying to whoever would listen” that his vision for Rabbit Hole would come to fruition. A former clinical psychologist, Kaveh launched Rabbit Hole in 2012. The distillery's name is derived from Kaveh's “passionate descent into the practice of distilling fine spirits,” specifically rye and bourbon. The whiskey is produced in small batches at Rabbit Hole's state-of-the-art 55,000-square-foot distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, and presented in four core expressions along with the brand's innovative Founder's Collection series. In 2019, French spirits giant Pernod Ricard acquired a majority stake in Rabbit Hole for an undisclosed price. The deal accelerated the brand's U.S. distribution and helped it expand internationally. Kaveh has continued to helm Rabbit Hole and added a new title – Chief Whiskey Officer at Pernod – in the process. In this episode, Kaveh talks about how his passion for whiskey became an entrepreneurial journey, how he assembled a team of industry veterans early into the development of the company and why he credits a strong support network as key to his career transition. He also talks about pitching 1,000 investors over the course of two years and how he got 110 to say “yes,” and his current work developing new products and brands, including Mary Dowling Bourbon and Mash & Mallow Whiskey. Show notes: 0:35: Kaveh Zamanian, Founder, Rabbit Hole Distillery – Kaveh speaks with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif about the Nulu neighborhood of Louisville, where Rabbit Hole is based, the construction and capacity of of its distillery and how his love of wine impacted his foray into whiskey. Kaveh also talks about the bourbon industry's renaissance over the past decade and how distilling talent, if not funding, was plentiful; why he felt it was important to maintain his job in psychology early into the development of Rabbit Hole; and why he credits a strong support network as key to his career transition. He also explains why building a facility that matched his ambition was critical to his vision for Rabbit Hole, how the company forecasted demand and its capacity for contracting distilling and how he convinced investors with no experience in the spirits industry to back the company. Kaveh also talks about managing anxiety, the key elements of Rabbit Hole's brand architecture, how he considered an exit strategy while building the company and which decisions he regrets most over the past decade. Brands in this episode: Rabbit Hole Distillery, Maker's Mark, Woodford Reserve, Wild Turkey, Nantucket Nectars, Culture Pop, Bardstown Bourbon
