Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/697 Presented By: Skwala, Heated Core, Angler's Coffee, TroutRoutes Fly fishing spring creeks can be super challenging—the fish are spooky, the water conditions aren't always perfect, and sometimes it's hard to present a fly just right. But today, PJ Smith—Driftless guide and Spring Creek expert—is here to share his secrets. He's here to share how to find fish in winter, nighttime, and all year. You'll learn how to sneak up on spooky trout, the best way to position yourself, and whether to cast upstream or downstream. Plus, you will find out when fishing is not fishing and when not fishing is fishing. Show Notes with PJ Smith on Fly Fishing Spring Creeks and the Driftless. 04:23 - Trout Season in the Driftless wraps up in October to give the fish a break for spawning, and it's a chance for anglers to go deer hunting. January marks the start of a new season, where fishing gets tricky with cold, clear water. PJ says sunny days are your best bet, and being sneaky is key. https://vimeo.com/311013412 Fishing Spring Creeks and the Driftless in Winter Fishing the Driftless in the winter is much different than September. The water is colder and gin clear, which can make fish more sluggish. But if you're patient and sneaky, winter fishing can be great. Here's what to expect: Look for warm, sunny days to get the best fishing. Be stealthy. Small black stoneflies will start hatching; you might even spot them in the snow! You can still catch fish on dry flies. Nymphing with small patterns works well. How to Sneak Up on Spooky Trout 13:12 - PJ shares some tricks for sneaking up on fish in the winter. He likes to keep a low profile by avoiding high banks and staying in the water. Here are some tips: Wear neutral-colored clothing to blend in. Stay quiet and avoid loud movements. If you scare the fish, give them a few minutes to settle before trying again. What's the Best Setup for Driftless Streams? 14:16 - PJ shares his simple setup for fishing Driftless streams. He typically uses a dry-dropper rig with a dry fly like a Hippie Stomper or Stimulator and a nymph below. He keeps his leader system simple with a 7.5-foot leader, using 3X or 4X for easy casting. He ties the dry fly directly to the leader and attaches the dropper to the hook. What Fish Are in the Driftless and How Big Do They Get? The native brook trout is pretty small in the Driftless, with a 15-inch one considered a big catch. Most brook trout are around 9 to 10 inches. Brown trout, however, are much larger and can grow over 20 inches. Anglers used to catch 30-inch browns, but they're harder to find these days. Nighttime Fishing 20:29 - Night fishing can be pretty fun, but it has challenges. The water may be too deep, and some drop-offs can be dangerous, so it's important to know the area well. You'll need a good headlamp with a red or green light, a spare one, and a small flashlight for safety. Always let someone know where you're fishing, especially when heading out at night. How Do You Fish Streamers at Night? 26:06 - PJ says he casts his fly across the pool and lets it swing downstream. The goal is to mimic something like a mouse or frog trying to escape. Sometimes, depending on how the fish react, he'll add a little twitch to the fly to make it more tempting. If bats are out, it's time to rip the fly through the water. Brown trout will even eat bats if they fall in. The key is adjusting your technique based on how the fish bite that night. How Do You Make the Perfect Cast in Tight Spots? Practice is the key when making the perfect cast in tight spots. You don't need long casts—just a solid 20-footer with pinpoint accuracy. Focus on hitting small targets like seams, holding water, or spots near rocks and vegetation. Roll casting is your best friend in the Driftless, even more than a back cast. Learn sidearm and roll cast to handle tricky spots under trees and around obstructions. What Flies Should You Tie for the Driftless? PJ shares his go-to flies for fishing in the Driftless area. These patterns work year-round, especially in winter: Pink Squirrel Rubber Leg Stimulator Hippie Stompers Elk Hair Caddis Blue-Winged Olives Tricos Griffith's Gnat Bead Head Nymphs & Leech Patterns Jiggy Nymph Streamer PJ's top advice for winter fishing is to be patient and have fun. Not every day is about catching fish. Even guides get skunked sometimes! Use those moments to learn. As PJ puts it, “When is fishing not fishing, and when is not fishing, fishing?” Something to think about next time you're out there! Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/697

Cheers,Scott and JakeBourbon Len About the Book: BRAND MYSTICISM: CULTIVATE CREATIVITY AND INTOXICATE YOUR AUDIENCE Written By Steven Grasse & Aaron Goldfarb;Illustrated by Ron Short From the marketing mastermind behind countless iconic booze brands comes an irreverent and wide-ranging treatise on building and maintaining a standout brand in business and life: BRAND MYSTICISM. Steven Grasse made a name for himself as not only an offbeat distillery owner but also the brains behind beloved brands like Hendrick's Gin and Sailor Jerry Rum and the guy who made cheap-beer-standbys like Narragansett and Miller High Life cool again. Through his work in advertising and marketing, Grasse has changed the game in the booze world and become an authority on building an authentic, enduring, and deeply beloved brand. Food & Wine has called him “the punk-rock prince of small-batch spirits.” “Think of me as the Ben Franklin of hooch, the Thomas Edison of booze. Or just think of me as a crazy middle-aged man who is going to tell you some really funny sometimes slightly fucked-up stories that will hopefully make you laugh and maybe realize there's quite a bit of merit to having fun trolling people doing art for art's sake, simply trying shit and not really giving a rat's ass,” said Steven Grasse. “You might wonder how I became such a Big Cheese in the world of booze. I sometimes wonder the same thing, and while everything you read in my new book is true, it is also total bullshit.” So how did he do it? Through irreverent tips (why being a troll can be so vital), case studies (when marketing cigarettes taught him about virality) and magical ingredients (who knew beaver anus would change his fortunes), BRAND MYSTICISM guides you through the steps it takes to channel your own entrepreneurial spirit into a business, a creative practice, or a life that breaks with tradition to achieve the remarkable. About the Authors: Steven Grasse is an entrepreneur equally influenced by punk rock and New England transcendentalism. Steven has created some of the most outrageous booze brands of the twenty-first century: Hendrick's Gin, Sailor Jerry Rum, Art in the Age Craft Spirits—all seemingly out of thin air. He is the part-owner and creative mastermind behind Narragansett beer, and his agency, Quaker City Mercantile, has brought similar success to beer icons Pilsner Urquell, Guinness, and, most recently, Miller High Life. His first distillery, Tamworth Distilling & Mercantile, opened in 2015 and gained international press and awards within its first year. Steven is also the author of The Cocktail Workshop, Colonial Spirits: A Toast to Our Drunken History, The Good Reverend's Guide to Infused Spirits, and Evil Empire. He lives and works in Philadelphia. Aaron Goldfarb is a novelist, author, and journalist, who frequently writes about the spirits industry and drinking culture for Esquire, Playboy, PUNCH, and VinePair. His two most recent books are Hacking Whiskey: Smoking, Blending, Fat-Washing, and Other Whiskey Experiments and Gather Around Cocktails: Drinks to Celebrate Usual and Unusual Holidays. His 2018 VinePair article on Grasse, “How Do You Make a Booze Brand Go Viral?,” fittingly, went viral itself and has since been shared online hundreds of thousands of times.

Improve Podcast School - Podcasting Growth, Marketing and Monetization Tips
The sooner you start recording scripted podcasts or even recording podcasts with outlines, the faster your podcast will reach a new level of quality, unlock new opportunities and be on a path towards a successful monetization. Full episode transcripts are available at:https://improvepodcast.com/school ( improvepodcast.com/school) Research Key Findings: – Recording Fully Scripted Episodes vs. Working with Outlines The study of over 1,000 podcasters has revealed that: 38% of higher-income podcasters record their episodes having a full script ready. On top, an additional 36% have a very detailed outline. This means that 76% of successful podcasters come highly prepared for their recordings. Doesn't this limit creativity? Not at all. It Actually shifts when your creativity is being used. When recording scripted podcasts, you focus your creativity during the writing of the script. And when recording, you focus on a perfect delivery of what you have already prepared. The study of podcasters has found that higher-income podcasters, those who earn at least $50,000 per year from their show, are 2.2 times more likely to use a full script for recording. This was determined to be one of the TOP 10 things that successful podcasters do differently. Should You Record Scripted Episodes or Use Only Outlines? A single-person podcast should be scripted. When doing interviews, you need to have a target your interview is trying to accomplish, the information you want to obtain. Reach this target using an outline of questions. When you mix interviews and narration, the narration part should be scripted. – What are the Benefits of Recording Scripted Podcasts? What are the Benefits of Recording Podcasts with Outlines?

How Do You Make a Business Podcast That Stands Out?Podcasting continues to be a growing medium. Every day, new shows are launched. And as of this recording, there are now well over 2,000,000 podcasts available in Apple Podcasts. The motivations and ambitions of those who get into podcasting vary from person to person. But for those who put the time and work in, the rewards can be huge. Business and industry podcasting is where you'll find many who are reaping the benefits of their content. This ranges from individuals working on side ventures outside of their day job, the side hustles, to multinational companies. As more businesses move towards podcasting, people are looking at ways to stand out. To do something a bit more differently. So, if you want to make a show for your own company or brand, what sorts of things should you do to avoid becoming just another one of the pack? Let's go over some ideas and suggestions that will help you make a business podcast that stands out, and attract your current and potential clients or customers to listen. Let's take a look at the most common business podcast format Intro music The host introduces show Interview Host summarizes and closes show, adds call(s) to action Outro music There's absolutely nothing wrong with this format. In fact, this is the perfect structure for a majority of podcasters. Listeners are very used to it, it's practical. And it doesn't require a big investment of time or money with additional production elements. But if you really want to stand out, it's going to be very hard to do that following this format. It's very common. What's the alternative? Let's go over an idea. Are you the authority, or your guest? There are many benefits of running an interview show. The big downside is that you're never the true authority on your own show – your guests are. An interview-style podcast, at its core, is a networking tool for you and your business. You don't need to stop having guests in order to stand out. But make sure it's a conscious decision rather than something you've been led to believe is a necessity. Understand what this style podcast is going to accomplish for you and your guest. How about... Reworking the Conversations If you will be having guests on your show, consider throwing out the common intro, interview, outro cadence approach. Let's say you do want to make a business podcast, and you're going to start with a season of 15 episodes. And, you'll be lining up 15 guests. The “conventional” way of doing this is that each episode will be an interview with 1 of these 15 guests. The conversation takes the usual approach. You ask them how they got started in what they do, what problems they overcame, how they became successful, and what advice they have for others. The typical flow of this interview format. But, this doesn't really stand out. Especially if your guests are often interviewed on other podcasts. Where they'll probably cover exactly the same ground, talking about their latest book, or their latest TED Talk. Let's consider an alternative. A Season of Topics, Not Guests Come up with 15 topics. Each topic is basically a question, or themed set of questions. These will be similar to the questions asked in that common interview style, so you've got things like “problems you overcame,” and “advice for others.” Then you can throw in things that are a bit different from the norm. “Which talent would you most like to have?”, and “What technology do you wish existed?”, for two examples. In each interview, you ask the 15 guests your 15 questions, along with any follow-up questions. Then, produce your 15 episodes. Each will focus on answering 1 question, and feature the answer from all 15 of your guests. This can make a better listener experience. Your show will become easy to navigate. It will have an appeal to a younger target audience who may not have the patience for the

Episode 21 of The Teaching Space Podcast explores the use of exit tickets for assessment and evaluation with learners. Podcast Episode 21 Transcript Welcome to The Teaching Space podcast, coming to you from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Hello, it's Martine here. Welcome to Episode 21 of The Teaching Space podcast. It's great to have you with me. Today's episode is called Excellent Exit Tickets For Assessment And Evaluation. What's an Exit Ticket? So what's an exit ticket? Well, typically it's a short assessment or evaluation activity that your students would complete before they leave the classroom. Often it will be a slip of paper which might be pre-printed to look like a ticket, or could be just a scrap of paper from your shredding bin. It could be an online exit ticket. You might use a Google Form or a Padlet or something similar. Whatever you use, the idea behind an exit ticket is that your student will complete it before they leave the session, and if they don't complete it they don't leave the session. That's the idea, at any rate. I've found that exit tickets tend to be used with young children, but I only teach adults and have had some success using them. So perhaps rethink how you're using exit tickets. They can definitely work with older learners. Some examples of exit tickets can be found on theteachingspace.com/21 Exit Tickets for Formative Assessment There are lots of ways to use an exit ticket. Personally, I find they're most useful for formative assessment. Here are some ideas on how you could use an exit ticket for formative assessment. To Answer a Question You might ask one important question from the session. So your learner has to write the answer to the question on the ticket before they leave. That's a really good way to gauge whether the main point in the session has been understood. To Summarize The Session Alternatively, you could ask your learners on the exit ticket to summarize the key points of the session. If you do this, it might be a good idea to put some bullet points, maybe three bullet points on there, so they know the sort of level of detail you're asking them to go into. Big Learning Moment and What They Need Help With One of my favourites is to ask learners to explain one key takeaway from the session, their big learning moment that they had, and one thing that they're still a little bit hazy about and need a little bit more help with. I should add that when you do this it's really essential that you go through the exit tickets when everyone's left and make a big list of anything that learners are still hazy about, and then you follow that up. Otherwise there's not much point in doing the exit ticket exercise. Exit Tickets as Reflective Tools If you're encouraging a culture of reflection in your class, then why not use an exit ticket as a reflective tool. You can prompt your learners in the direction you'd like them to reflect. This works really well. Don't forget that you can incorporate stretch and challenge into the use of exit tickets, because not everybody needs to have the same ticket. If you've got some learners who have achieved mastery in the session and need to be stretched a little further, then give them a more challenging exit ticket, there are definite opportunities for differentiation within the use of exit tickets. Exit Tickets for Evaluation They're not just an assessment tool though. You can use exit tickets for evaluation; you can use them to check the quality of your session. I find that pre-printed exit tickets work best for this purpose. You might have a "What went well? Even better if ..." type exit ticket. So you might have WWW and then EBI on a different line, and ask for some feedback in that way. If you're dealing with young learners, then maybe a smiley face type scale could be an alternative. Using Prompts While it's perfectly fine to just use a blank sheet of paper for your exit ticket, I've found that prompts tend to give you a better quality of response. So the sort of prompts you could include on your exit ticket might be: "Write one thing you learned today." Or, "Write one thing you'd like more help to understand." These prompts also work really well in the first person. So you might have something like: "Today I enjoyed ..." "Today I found it confusing when ..." Or, "Please explain more about ..." How Do You Make an Exit Ticket? Let's talk about how you make an exit ticket. I think there are three options here. 1. Verbal Exit Ticket You could take the path of least resistance and simply have a verbal exit ticket. This would work best with younger learners, I think. So you would stand at the door to your classroom, you would issue a question to the group, give them some thinking time, get them to line up at the door, and answer the question on the way out. So that would be your simple option for a verbal exit ticket. 2. Paper Exit Ticket The mid-level option would be a paper exit ticket. It could be a scrap of plain paper, you put a question on the board and they write the answer. Or you could take the next step up and have a pre-printed ticket with prompts, and that would be what I recommend in the first instance, because I think it's best for the learner. These pre-printed exit tickets could be created in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. What I've found is the easiest thing to do is just to create a table, a two column table, questions on the left and space for an answer on the right. That works very nicely. 3. Online Exit Ticket If you want to take a tech approach, then I highly recommend using Google Forms. But this is really only going to work if your learners are on a computer at the end of the session. You know, if they've put their technology away or they're not allowed to use mobile phones for whatever reason, this isn't going to be the best format. Certainly for my adult learners I've found that Google Forms work really well. If you create a QR code with the link to the Google Form that makes things even easier as well. I like to get my learners using their devices, scanning the code, completing the exit ticket, and then going. If it's appropriate, with a Google Form you can have the responses in a Google sheet on your board as people leave. It might not be appropriate to share what everyone else is putting in the exit ticket, but you never know, it might be. My Preference Now, I have a confession to make, even though I am a very tech-orientated teacher, I am a Google certified trainer so I love Google tools, the best way to do exit tickets, in my opinion, is the pre-printed slip. It's nice and easy. You've made it once, you can print it as many times as you like. It's very quick for you to see the responses. I really like a pre-printed exit ticket. Template Exit Ticket With this in mind, I have a little gift for you. I have a template exit ticket that you're very welcome to use in your classroom. Here will find links to two options for the exit ticket, I've got a PDF version, which you can simply print out, I've also got a Google Doc template version for you. So when you click on the link what's going to happen is, Google will ask you if you want to make a copy of my template document, and you will answer, "Yes", and it will save in your Google Drive. Pop over to theteachingspace.com/21 to grab these. So you've got a PDF option and you've got a Google Doc template option. You don't have to opt-in to any newsletter or anything like that to get these freebies. They are just there for you to use. Wrap Up I'd love to know your thoughts on exit tickets and whether you have a chance to try out my templates that I've provided. The best way to chat about this sort of thing is to join The Teaching Space Staff Room, that's our closed Facebook group, I'll pop a link in the show notes for you. Right, that's all from me today. I hope you enjoyed the episode and I hope you'll join me next time.
Watch the video podcast here. Who is Laura Elizabeth? Laura has been a designer for the last 7 years. She started out with one year in an agency then became a freelancer. Last year she transitioned into product development of a WordPress plugin called Client Portal. She also teaches how to design in a non-pretentious way and she still does the odd design job from time to time when a cool project comes along. How Can We Build Better Client Relationships? Laura came to realise that most of her income was coming from repeat work and referrals. This is because of the importance that she puts on giving her clients a memorable experience. She came from an agency background and when she became a freelancer, she felt that disadvantage of not having a nice office to bring your clients to, so she focused on standing out and giving them a great experience instead. Laura says that most clients have a business goal that they want to achieve but they want to enjoy the process as well. As a designer, a lot of what you do is really fun and it’s exciting for them to see their business take on this whole new look. [vum-bigtweet tweet="Want to get repeat work and referrals? Find out how to make your the development and design process enjoyable for your clients."] How Do You Make the Process Enjoyable for Clients? Laura’s favourite way to do this is to make the process repeatable and smooth. Some designers make the mistake of assuming that the client knows how a project works and what is involved. However, clients are generally nervous to work with you because they are investing a lot of money and not sure what to expect. You need to gain their trust with a lot of quality communication. Don’t assume that if the client isn’t bugging you that they don’t want to know. Assume that the client is waiting to know what is happening all the time. Many designers and developers complain that their client is bugging them with constant questions, but this just means that they are feeling insecure about the project. If you communicate with them frequently, it helps to alleviate this worry. Laura used to tell her client's that every Monday morning they will receive an email outlining everything that she did in the week prior, what she will be doing the following week and what she needs from them. She says, to just keep it simple and create a template with bullet points. Where Did Her Inspiration for Client Portal Come From? She made the client portal for her own business to be able to manage her clients but she didn’t intend on selling it at first. She only started selling it when she realised that there was a demand in the market for such a product. It had got to a point where she was finding it difficult to manage all of her clients and she didn't like the idea of giving design work over to a freelancer. Instead, she went through her client process and noted down every single detail from every email, deliverable and interaction that happens. She realised that it was all the same for every client apart from the design. From there she made a portal where the client logs in and comes to a dashboard where they see every deliverable that is in progress, completed and what is coming. It shows when the next phone call is and when she is available. Clever Creation She had designed the website and got developers to code it so she took bits of her website to hack together a dashboard. She then put it up for sale and offered a presale discount so that she could use those funds to develop the product. She then hired a developer to do the plugin once she had the revenue. So clever! How Important Is It to Put Yourself in the Client’s Shoes? It’s the job of a designer and developer to put yourself in your client's shoes. Sometimes we can get too focussed on the design rather than the experience that the client is having with you. It just requires a small mindset shift. At the same time, you also need to educate the client that the website isn’t actually for them, it is for their customers. Laura says that sometimes a client may come to her for a redesign when their current look isn't working, but she will explain to them that the problem may not be the actual website. It can be lack of targeting or marketing as well. So she would sometimes have to tell her clients to come to make some changes and them come back to her with revenue rather than use their savings. What is Design Academy? She was working with a lot of developers who all had really cool side projects and needed designers to help them. So, she created a free resource which helps developers learn how to design without having to pay a designer. That means that they can then get their side projects up and running and once they have revenue, they can pay a designer from that. Her plan is to turn this into a course early next year. Tune in at the 27-minute mark to learn more about what is involved in this course. What’s Next for Laura Elizabeth? Her focus is Client Portal at the moment with a new version being released early next year. Then next year she will go almost full-time with Design Academy and get a solid course going. Wow, such a good reminder! Get communicating everyone! If you have any tips or hints on what has worked well for you to create a good customer experience, we would love to hear about it in the comment section below.
Can a person sustain their life on their passions? Can you do what you love and live off of it, too? It’s the perfect road to go down, and one that travelers often find themselves seeking. Juliana Dever has found the path. A travel blogger and an actress from the television series Castle , Juliana has thrown herself into world traveling and drawing experiences from her fears. When she’s not acting, she’s traveling, testing her limits. A self-proclaimed Russophile, Juliana Dever has had a fascination with Russia since childhood. She wants to act and travel, and has found a way to maintain this lifestyle, doing what she truly loves. Keeping that life of travel up is possible, and Juliana can prove it. “If you never meet a stranger,” Juliana says, “then that’s all they’ll ever be to you.” The world is your oyster (and to Juliana, Russia is the pearl). How WiFi Sprung Me from a Russian Prison The second time Juliana Dever went to Russia, it was as part of a language class. She was given the option to stay with a Russian family, which she took, it being a great opportunity and all. She had visions of laughing around a dinner table, speaking Russian; her reality, though, was a young man who spoke absolutely no English, herself, who spoke very little Russian, and nobody else. Already in a confusing situation, she was with this young man who was very much immersed in that bachelor lifestyle: keeping to himself, leaving out pasta and ketchup for dinner, which was a rocky start to Juliana’s stay. However, the chaos of the experience culminated in her getting locked in her bedroom one day with no way to contact her host. A bit of WiFi, a well-timed email to her friend Rachel, and some frantic Googling helped her survive. Why Should I Travel to Russia? Juliana Dever is a self-proclaimed Russophile, and it shows in how she talks about Russia and her time there. Juliana is lived in Russia twice, the first time being for a couple of months in the winter, training with the Moscow Art Theatre. Growing up, Juliana was incredibly and inexplicably attracted to Russia, which didn’t make a ton of sense for her as a little girl growing up in rural Missouri. She considered the idea that she might be a reincarnated member of the Romanov family; after she went to Russia, made peace with it, and released it, she felt as though she was able to move on. For Juliana, Russia was like a painting in her head before she actually went. When she got there, though, all of a sudden, it crystallized into a glowing, beautiful, mythical place that hardly seemed real to her. Russia was what dreams were made of, for her. The smells, the sights, the sounds, the tastes - all are so hard to put into words, but they make up what Juliana loves most about Russia and about travel. How Do You Make a Living Doing What You Love? Juliana Dever believes that travel is about being in the moment. There is a lot of crossover between her interests -... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/backpackdigital/message
