Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw are known world-wide as independent experts in anti-aging research and brain biochemistry. The publication of their bestseller Life Extension, A Practical Scientific Approach in 1982 was a benchmark in the history of nutritional science and created a whole new biomedical paradigm. Durk graduated from MIT in 1965 with a triple major in Physics, Biology, and Psychology, and a triple minor in electrical engineering, computer science, and chemistry. Durk has patents in the areas of oil shale recovery, laser, holography, and functional food.  He worked on all the manned aerospace programs from Gemini to the Shuttle and wrote much of the original safety manual for the Materials Processing Laboratory on the Space Shuttle. I met with Durk along with Greg and Michelle Pryor from Life Priority to discuss why he created LIFT, LIFTCaps, MIND and Muscle Memory. Durk shares the benefits of his nutritional supplements.

In this unique podcast. Greg Pryor gives great insight on what a professional baseball player thinks and does during a real game. We sat behind home plate as Greg shared his keen knowledge.   Greg Pryor played professional baseball for 16 years between 1971 and 1987, 10 of them in the major leagues. Originally drafted by the Washington Senators, Greg went on play for the Chicago White Sox. In 1984 was Greg's most dramatic success. Filling for both an oft-injured George Brett and second baseman Frank White, Pryor became a “supersub” as Kansas City won the American League West. The following year, he won a World Series ring with the Royals.

Gregory Russell Pryor (born October 2, 1949), is an American former Major League Baseball infielder. He played all or part of ten seasons in the majors, in 1976 and 1978–1986. He was 6'0 feet tall and weighed 185 pounds. He batted right and threw right-handed. Originally drafted by the Washington Senators, Pryor was picked in the 6th round of the 1971 amateur draft (130th overall) and was the last position player draft pick of the Senators to play in the major leagues. He debuted in the majors with the Senators' later incarnation, the Texas Rangers, in 1976. Pryor was a member of the World Series-winning Kansas City Royals in 1985. Greg's father, George, was a fullback at Wake Forest University and played for the Baltimore Colts of the NFL.  

In 1967, Greg Pryor was an undrafted high school baseball player. His dad bribed the head coach of Florida Southern College (FSC) in Lakeland, FL to give him a small scholarship. He made the NCAA Division II All-America honors in 1970 and 1971 and signed a pro contract with the Washington Senators. He played in MLB during 10 seasons and was a member of the 1985 World Champion Kansas City Royals. His book, The Day the Yankees Made Me Shave, includes 27 Days in Greg's amateur and professional career. Included are personal recollections of wearing #42 for the New York Yankees, playing in the famous Pine Tar Game in Yankee Stadium, playing shortstop in the Disco Demolition game in Comiskey Park, playing in the ‘85 World Series, being called a dumbass by George Steinbrenner, loaning George Brett his bat when George stroked his 2,000th hit, hitting 3 walk-off home runs, playing with Bo Jackson, and many other notable events. We want baseball fans worldwide to enjoy these anecdotal stories, since many of the stories in the book relate to various teams, Hall of Fame players and managers, and widely recognized baseball events.   Order Greg's book, ‘The Day the Yankees Made me Shave' -  baseball.town 1-800-487-2560

Michelle Pryor was in two automobile accidents that left her with serious brain injuries. Both t left her in a fog, with slow cognitive reactions. She started taking MIND – a designer food created by Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw. They are two scientists who actually developed the MIND supplement for themselves. Today, years later, Michelle has full cognitive functions and tells of her journey in this podcast. This led Michelle, with her husband, Greg Pryor to create Life Priority. A high-quality supplement provider, backed by science. They feature many of Durk and Sandy's designer foods that help you get health and stay healthy. Michelle and Greg know what they sell because they use what they sell.   Lifepriority.com

Since 1968, he has been a pioneer in the life extension field.

He co-wrote the book with Sandy Shaw who also co-authored Freedom of Informed Choice: FDA Versus Nutrient Supplements, a book that discusses constitutional and scientific issues relating to the FDA's regulation of the dissemination of scientific information.    Durk graduated from MIT in 1965 with a triple major in Physics, Biology, and Psychology, and a triple minor in electrical engineering, computer science, and chemistry. Durk has patents in the areas of oil shale recovery, laser, holography, and functional food.  He worked on all the manned aerospace programs from Gemini to the Shuttle and won numerous awards, including an award from the International Society for Testing and Failure Analysis (a professional organization), for his penetrating quality control and safety analyses.  He wrote much of the original safety manual for the Materials Processing Laboratory on the Shuttle.

Two Mikes Former Major Leaguer Greg Pryor Joined Two Mikes To Talk Baseball And Life by

Baseball great Greg Pryor is a good friend. He texted me to tell me I spelled a word wrong in my book. It was actually the name of the man who hired him to play on the Chicago White Sox. The man's name is Bill Veeck. I spelled it “Veck.”  Greg simply let me know for my next printing. I didn't interpret it that way. What happened next, is the beauty of the podcast. When we only hear and read words through our own “filter” it can cause damage to a friendship. But when we take the time to understand and admit we reacted through our own ‘filter' and it wasn't the best way to respond – your friendship can get closer. That's what happened, and it was me who reacted like, well, rather childish. Hey, You Just Have To Laugh at yourself, and things can really clear up. This is great podcast in communication. Thanks Greg Pryor for your friendship and proof-reading skills. thedaytheyankeesmademeshave.com – Greg's book naster.com/laughstore    - David's Book – You Just Have to Laugh Manual

The next generation of culinary artisans are changing up the industry. These artisans have a whole new approach to reaching and satisfying the next generation consumer. In this podcast we will explore chefs and artisans from around the world diving into their story and passion. In this episode of Chef AF, I talk with Greg Pryor, known to his instagram followers as Caster Azucar, a cook with no formal training about social media, his cooking that comes from his love of creating and why he sees food as an adventure. Pryor talks about the amazing feeling of trying something sensational in a restaurant and says he has had those experiences in New Zealand. He chats about eating at Michael Meredith's restaurant saying it was incredible and couldn't believe what he had done with a potato and cabbage dish. Pryor adds, “there's something that is my drive to try and get people to experiment more at home and appreciate food more when they go out, but also appreciate the adventure that is food.” Pryor shares with us his recipe Burnt Butter, Pistachio, and Potato Soup, which he says came from looking for something that was hearty, warm and fall-like. This recipe comes with an option to add grilled salmon. Pryor talks about creating echoes of the foundational flavors, saying that the dish is about bringing layers of flavor and texture to something as simple as a soup. Tune into the podcast to learn more on how Pryor feels about following recipes, what he has to say about cooking with sous vide, and his thoughts about the industry on this episode of Chef AF “It's All Food” or you can listen at Spotify!

Another RedThread Rewind episode: “I think we have to help organizations get out of the way and let people unleash and unlock their ca-pabilities in ways that does not require the organization to be at the center.” Sounds pretty optimistic? No surprise as whatever else he is, our guest this week, Greg Pryor, is an optimist—and we are too, given the power of the examples and the strength of the conviction he gave us in this hour of debate over the future of HR. Greg, People & Performance Evangelist at Workday, a tech firm that is shaking up the world of enterprise software and which we're grateful to have as sponsor of this whole Work-place Stories first season, shares many fascinating insights into what he sees as a totally new age for human capital management that the pandemic has tipped us all into. These cover the gamut from bleeding-edge academic research on the future of work to the life lessons kids are teaching their par-ents out of playing Fortnite, and keep Stacia and fellow interviewer Chris engaged and often delighted. It's a great conversation: use it to level up your thinking about skills. We certainly did.

Post-pandemic, savvy companies are applying the lessons they learned from it—especially vis-à-vis their workforce. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with Workday's Greg Pryor about how companies can use data and machine learning technology to improve their employees' experience. They also discuss the future of work. The upshot? Employees will need to ramp up their social agility and build strong connections, and leaders will need to develop empathy as a primary management skill.

Did you know it can take 3-5 years to replicate the network of a high performer? In the war for talent that we are seeing now, it's the high performers who are the ones leaving companies, changing jobs and making decisions based on flexibility and other benefits. Maybe it's finally time to change the way we organize both the work and the people. The research and proof about the power of social and organizational networks has been around for over a decade, yet few companies have leveraged that data and still cling to the old hierarchy and work structures. The center of successful companies in this new world of work is all about leveraging what you know and who you know, as quickly as possible. The hierarchy (org chart) is still necessary, but no longer sufficient. Join Courtney and Alicia as they welcome their guest, Greg Pryor for this two part series about why understanding your role in the organizational network is so important and why peer relationships and social capital are the most important drivers of success. Part one is focused on context and current research and thinking on the topic and then part 2 focuses on more research, tips and tricks to help listeners apply the concepts.
