Erik had been told by countless therapists that he was in denial. He'd heard over and over again that his autistic son would never learn to read.  But when they found the right program, it took just six days for something to click–and his teenage son was suddenly reading. Erik's family life has been full of little breakthroughs since he made a decision to show up for his oldest son in a big way.  You'll learn all about this, as well as his new book To The Mountain–a powerful story inspired by their relationship.  We talk about why we make sacrifices, what works (and what doesn't) when showing up for kids with conditions including autism and ADHD, and how to process anger and frustration in healthy ways.  BTW, If you'd like to receive a FREE copy of Erik's book, I'll buy you one.  Just leave an honest review of this episode at http://FrontRowDads.com/review, and email a screenshot of your review and your address (US addy's only gents) to info@frontrowdads.com, and we'll send you a copy of the book as a thank you! Some of the topics I discuss with Dr. Ian Kerner:  What autism looks like for most kids Why positive reinforcement made all the difference with Erik's son. How Erik's father instilled in him a love of reading and writing. What is sacrifice? The difference between a great dad and a terrible one. Why are some dads so much better at being parents when their kids are very young, or when they're teenagers, or even later in life? When do we take on too much responsibility? The common misconceptions about how to show up for and support kids with autism, ADHD, and a wide range of other conditions. Why do kids suffer when they grow up in sterile environments? Where should we focus our time, attention, and energy? Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

Have you ever considered a fun alternative to traditional farming? Fungi, that is! Joining us today on the Thriving Farmer Podcast is the founder of Maine Cap N’ Stem, Erik Lomen. Maine Cap N’ Stem started in 2014, cultivating a variety of gourmet mushrooms from spore to store below the streets of Portland Maine. Within a year, their fresh mushroom production expanded from less than 200 sq ft to a 3,000 sq ft facility in Westbrook, Maine. In 2016, Maine Cap N’ Stem decided to drop out of the fresh mushroom market altogether and work directly with farms all across the country to supply their growing mushroom demand with ready-to-fruit substrate. Tune in to learn all about how Erik built his mycological empire and how he runs it today!   You’ll hear: About Erik’s first experience with mushrooms 0:49 When Erik started selling mushrooms 2:57 What his sales outlets were in the beginning 4:50 What building the spawn line entailed 12:14 How Erik goes about marketing 24:12 The three things new mushroom farmers need to know 38:19 What a more advanced mushroom grower could do to take their business to the next level 42:05 What the hiring process is like at Maine Cap N’ Stem 45:28 How Erik manages time on the farm 51:42 What advice Erik has for new farmers 54:35   About the Guest:Erik Lomen is an owner operator at Maine Cap N’ Stem, a certified organic supplier of commercial grade ready-to-fruit substrate and spawn.Maine Cap N’ Stem started in 2014, cultivating a variety of gourmet mushrooms from spore to store below the streets of Portland, Maine. Within a year, their fresh mushroom production expanded from less than 200 sq ft to a 3,000 sq ft facility in Westbrook, Maine. Between 2015 and 2016 the decentralized micro mushroom industry began exploding all across the country and at the time it was integral for each of these small farms to develop their own cultures, spawn, and fruiting substrate to grow fresh mushrooms and supply a self built distribution system for sales to farmers markets, restaurants, and wholesalers. In 2016, Maine Cap N’ Stem decided to drop out of the fresh mushroom market altogether and work directly with these farms all across the country to supply their growing mushroom demand with ready-to-fruit substrate. This transition set a business pivot into motion as they became the first national producer and distributor of Certified Organic Mushroom Substrate for small and large farms across the continental USA. In 2016 we moved to our current 20,000+ sq ft facility in Gardiner, Maine and began producing and supplying farms from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon with an easier scalable option to grow by skipping the intensive lab work to produce their own spawn and substrate and simply focus on fruiting and selling fresh mushrooms. Within the last 5 years they have proven the model to work and continue to support the growth and development of fresh mushroom farms around the states.  From 2019 to 2020 Maine Cap N’ Stem developed a state of the art spawn production facility and expanded their offerings from simply substrate to spawn and culture products as well as “combination substrate pellets” for farms to forward integrate and scale up into their own substrate production for a balance of options and supply chain diversification allowing a higher level of control for each farm’s independent focus. With each year that passes as we continue to grow, innovate, and develop, our goal remains the same: Help independent farms sustainably grow to supply the massive demand for fresh mushrooms across all market platforms!Resources:Website - https://capnstem.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mainecapnstemco/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mainecapnstemco/

Networking is a very misunderstood term. Most people think that it's just about business - but your networking skills can even mean the difference between a sad and lonely life, and becoming rich and happy. Today we will teach you how we have found: - business partners - new clients - friends for life - and even love by simple techniques that are easy to learn. And stick with us to the end, because we will share with you how to write the perfect email if you want to find a mentor or get your dream job. The topic of today is How to network online and how to find inspiring friends. We have split the episode into four topics: 1. What does "networking" even mean, and why should you do it? 2. How to use social media for networking? 3. How to build a networking machine that works while you sleep? 4. How to write the perfect email to get a job or a mentor? With these four topics, you will be able to learn how to network online and how to find inspiring friends. -- Today's episode is a personal development episode, where Erik Bergman and Emil Ekvardt explore topics about how to grow as a person and get a better focus. We are both personal development junkies and spend many hours every week sharing our ideas and reading about new things. This episode is great for you who want to learn about our latest perspective. We share lots of personal stories, talk about how it applies in our lives, and where we have learned it from. -- In the first topic, we talk about how networking is a misunderstood term. What the differences are between networking wide and networking deep. How Erik started by networking very wide in his teenage years and how that has given a foundation for deep relationships today. It started with Erik asking himself "How to network online?" and "How to find inspiring friends?" In the second topic, we talk about what the easiest way to start networking online is. How you can use the social media traffic of big accounts to get yourself out there and find more people to inspire and that can be inspired by you. There are some tricks that surprisingly few are using that we will teach you. In the third topic, we are building networking machines that network for us. Once again we are utilizing social media but this time we teach you how to use your own account to find people with similar interests and make them come to you - a crucial part of how to network online and how to find inspiring friends. In the fourth and final topic, we dive into what might be the most important part. How to write a perfect email that makes someone wants to hire you, be your mentor, or even your business partner. Very few people know how to write great emails, so we will give you a step by step formula. -- Social media channels: http://linktr.ee/smilingerik http://linktr.ee/emil.e

Our four best productivity habits give us 25 extra hours of performance each week. Habits that save time! We are two habit nerds that constantly tweak our days to maximize output. In this episode, we will break our habits down for you. How you can apply them and how you can use them to boost your personal development and your career. Today's episode has been split up in four topics: 1. How Erik got two extra hours every night 2. How Emil saves tons of time by going against the social norms. 3. A health habit that Erik has constantly evolved over the last decade. 4. The most controversial of our habits, yet the only one we both do. An episode full of habits that save time. -- Today's episode is a personal development episode, where Erik Bergman and Emil Ekvardt explore topics about how to grow as a person. We are both personal development junkies and spend many hours every week sharing our ideas and reading about new things. This episode is great for you who want to learn about our latest perspective. We share lots of personal stories, talk about how it applies in our lives, and where we have learned it from. -- 1. In the first section we dive into the habits of watching TV in the evenings. How Erik changed from spending almost every evening just watching a screen and instead turned this into a more productive use of the time that got invested in his relationship and his health without taking any extra energy. A habit that saves time, about 10 hours each week. 2. The second part is about our view of alcohol and drugs and how Emil decided to go completely sober a few years ago. This has increased his productivity significantly and added many hours to his week thanks to not being hungover. A habit that saves time - about 8 hours every week. 3. In the third part we have a habit that saves time from thinking about food. Almost every day Erik replaces one meal with a large smoothie. This both adds to healthy living as well as to not needing to waste time cooking or thinking about what to eat. A habit that saves time - about 3 hours every week. The recipe is: 100g blueberries 100g raspberries 1/2 avocado 1/2 banana 25g broccoli 25g spinach 5g ginger 5g turmeric One tablespoon olive-oil Water 4. Finally we talk about not watching the news. How this saves time both in mindless scrolling and in better sleep and higher energy levels. We discuss whether we fall behind other people or not if it's important to keep up with the news. A habit that saves time - about 4 hours per week. -- Social media channels: http://linktr.ee/smilingerik http://linktr.ee/emil.e

Erik Hougaard returns to the podcast with new perspective on Dynamics 365 Business Central development and customization. Over the last few months, Erik has been creating a rich new library of developer skills videos on his YouTube channel, covering everything from OAuth and Javascript controls to web services and String operations.   He recently created a Blast from the Past video in which he spun up an old NAV 3.56 system and explored its features, customization language (which was also called AL at the time), and interface. Looking at a 30 year old predecessor to today's Business Central was more than just a trip down memory lane, as he tells us. It can also give today's customers and professionals a better understanding of why the latest version of Business Central looks and acts the way it does. With that perspective in mind, Erik also shares his views on the latest customization trends, ISV solution adoption, SaaS support, and how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the ecosystem.   Show Notes: 1:45 - Why look at NAV 3.56 now? 4:00 - Why now is a good time to create more educational content, and how Erik develops ideas. 7:45 - Contextualizing the on-prem to cloud transition of Business Central 10:00 - How Erik circulated an easter egg through older NAV systems 11:30 - Is it good that so many features of BC today are so similar to NAV years ago? 14:00 - Features or techniques that have potential for a big impact 16:30 - As an MVP reaching the community, comparing video versus traditional blog posts 20:00 - How many companies still need customization with BC? 23:30 - Customer and partner responsibilities around managing DevOps for BC 25:15 - A current challenge around country versions with extensions management, both in development and in releasing apps to AppSource 29:00 - How are BC users doing in the context of coronavirus? 32:00 - Why is development such a big part of NAV and BC? 34:30 - Tips around developing your YouTube channel

It’s amazing how one adventure to an unfamiliar place can completely shift your perspective on the world. It can even change the trajectory of your entire life. Welcome to The Darin Olien Show. On this podcast, you’ll hear me, Darin Olien, “the superfood hunter,” have inspiring and enlightening conversations with extraordinary people from all walks of life. Although our ideas and approaches to life may differ, our ultimate goal is the same- to save the planet one conversation at a time.

In this episode, I talk with the one and only Erik Cooper, adventurer extraordinaire. And when I say adventurer, I don’t mean someone who likes to go hiking or try new foods. I mean someone who is willing to immerse themselves entirely in an unfamiliar country, with a culture of nomadic people and go for broke competing in the toughest horse race in the world. Erik grew up on a horse farm in a small town in Missouri. He always knew he wanted to explore, and his love of horses was just as strong as his sense of adventure. At 24 he heard about the Mongol Derby, a grueling 10-day horse race through the rough terrain of rural Mongolia. Known as “The Toughest Horse Race in the World”, the Mongol Derby changed Erik in ways he never expected it to. I have such a fun conversation with Erik in this episode.  He told me some crazy stories of his first experience with the Mongol Derby, but we also got into the deep stuff on how it changed him. You get to hear some hilarious anecdotes about wild stubborn horses, getting lost in the mud, and how incredibly tough and amazing the Mongolian nomads are. And we dabble in some other crazy adventures Erik has had and his love of Eagle Hunting, which isn’t what you think. This is definitely an episode you don’t want to miss.   Other nuggets from my conversation with Erik: Erik’s reasons for being drawn to Mongolia What happens when someone breaks their neck in the middle of nowhere How Erik trained for his first Mongol Derby What happened in the first few minutes of the race Why the team aspect is so important during a race like the Mongol Derby Why Erik fell into a depression after getting back from his first Derby The glorious details of Eagle Hunting This episode’s Fatal Convenience™: Dental Floss   Links: Erik Cooper on Instagram An interview with Erik in Forbes The Mongol Derby   Download Darin’s amazing new lifestyle app and get 3 days free at 121Tribe.com Barukas Nuts 15% discount with code “DARIN”   The Darin Olien Show is produced by the team at Must Amplify.

Can money buy happiness? ​A couple of years ago, Erik Bergman got crazy rich when his company went public. Erik lived his entire life with the certainty that money equals happiness, and he was expecting that from now on, everything would be amazing. The actual feeling of happiness might have lasted for a day, but after that, things felt pretty empty. Without the goals and something to strive for, money wasn’t worth much. Erik was going through a rough patch with the love of his life, and when love doesn’t work out, money is worth even less. This got Erik thinking. Since then, Erik spent a lot of time thinking and looking within for answers. Erik found out that if money is not what will make him happy, maybe helping others is what will. Maybe giving is worth a lot more than receiving?Stay tuned as Erik gives two book recommendations, explains the inspiration behind Great, and reveals how leaders can change their work environment.

Erik Weihenmayer (@ErikWeihenmayer) has kayaked the Grand Canyon and climbed Mount Everest -- blind. He is the author of Touch the Top of the World and co-author of No Barriers and The Adversity Advantage. What We Discuss with Erik Weihenmayer: How challenges unite us as human beings -- no matter our hardships or handicaps. Why losing his sight as a teenager didn't discourage Erik from excelling beyond the capacity of the world's most accomplished extreme athletes. How Erik embraces a "no barriers" philosophy to guide and lift others -- even when their own cultures seek to keep them down. Why Erik's not "the blind climber," but a climber who happens to be blind -- and why this makes all the difference. The instincts, senses, and technology that allow Erik to navigate around his dangerous terrains of choice without sight. And much more...

Today’s episode features Erik Korem and Keir Wenham-Flatt.  Erik Korem is the associate athletic director for student athlete high-performance and Keir Wenham-Flatt is the coordinator of football performance.   Erik and Keir are a veritable all-star team of athletic development, with knowledge spanning all arenas of performance that transfers to the field. Erik brings nearly two decades of national expertise to his current position at William and Mary at the professional and collegiate levels, most recently, serving as the Director of Sports Science for the National Football League's Houston Texans, and previously, the high-performance coordination at the University of Kentucky football.  Keir has extensive experience in rugby physical preparation, and recently has expanded his repertoire to American football and University Olympic sports in his employment in the USA, in addition to his founding of rugbystrengthcoach.com. As we’ve talked about on other shows, strength, and even speed, is only a part of the equation on preparing athletes to be their best on the day of competition (albeit, an important part).  This podcast goes in depth on how Erik and Keir approach those two facets of performance from a perspective of maximal efficiency and effectiveness. The show expands to more “global” topics of high performance which includes the specificity of “mental toughness” and performance in high-pressure situations, as well as the role of emotional state in long-term sport success.  We also cover ideas regarding a global model (James Smith’s book “Governing Dynamics” is a big one here) of sport training that can help synchronize sport and strength coaches in their combined efforts.  We also get into the data provided by GPS, focusing on how team speed readings are an indicator of the flow of game play. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points Erik and Keir’s thoughts on agility and change of direction training on the field of play The use of maximal speed training for the sake of injury prevention in American football How GPS and game speed and acceleration can be a significant factor in looking at the strategy of how a football game is played How Erik and Keir utilize athlete performance logs and wellness readings The specificity of “toughness” and resilience in high pressure and over-time play situations How the “Governing Dynamics of Sport” is impacting conversations that Erik and Keir are having with the sport coaches at their university The importance of mental and emotional factors and sport success, especially at higher levels Year to year progressions in strength training for athletes for maximal long-term development Quotes “You can have two athletes in the same position, with different physical gifts who solve a problem with two different means, and what we try and do is provide them with a guided learning environment to discover what works (for change of direction in a game like setting)”  Wenham-Flatt “How many times do you have to see an elite athlete do something that’s “wrong” before you understand that they are probably doing it the right way”  Wenham-Flatt “There are three ways to win warfare: More force, more speed, or misdirection… when everybody is different, everybody is going to be naturally geared towards solving sport problems by different means.  The less you have of one thing, the more you need of the others” Wenham-Flatt “For the most part we are getting guys to that 90% (sprinting in season) threshold or greater, our skills and our mid-skill positions” Korem “In games, it’s not always great to say “oh! We had all these players run over X amount of speed” because it could mean that they are chasing somebody” Korem “Bryan Mann released a paper this year from his days at Mizzou,

Erik Bergman is the co-founder of Katina Media, a company that went from zero to 300 plus employees in five years. During this journey, Erik made more money than he will ever need in his life, but at the expense of burning himself out as well as his business partner and his fiance both of whom also worked for the company. Erik now 31, lives in Malta and is a native of Sweden. At the age of 28 years, Erik was ringing the bell of the stock exchange, making more money than he would ever need in his life, yet he was deeply unhappy and very unhealthy for such a young man. All of that changed, as his business and personal relationships, fell apart. He found himself alone and realized everything had to change. He started the company, great.com where, this time, the focus wasn't extreme growth, but rather wellbeing, transparency, trust, and flexibility for the team and where 100% of the profits are donated to charity. In this episode we discuss: How Erik started his first business at the age of 20. How he became less afraid of failing after experiencing his own business failures. Erik’s experience of driving himself and everyone around him so aggressively that the company made it to the stock market, but they were burned out to an extreme. How Erik’s priorities shifted dramatically in order to regain his health and restore the relationships that had been deeply damaged. His new company, great.com, and how it is based on trust and flexibility to instill a healthy and productive work environment.

Erik Petersen is a Montana-based photographer, filmmaker, and photojournalist whose work showcases the American West and the many ways we enjoy our wide open spaces. His most recent film, A Few Steps Further, explores the commonalities between backcountry hunting and mountain endurance sports, while highlighting the spectacular wild landscapes that make these activities possible. Historically, hunters and adventure sports enthusiasts have not always seen eye to eye, but through his film, Erik demonstrates that the two groups have much more in common than not, most notably a love for public lands, pushing one's physical limits, and hardcore adventure. • Growing up in Minnesota, Erik was an avid hunter and outdoorsman-- but with a lifelong love for Montana, he moved West the day that he graduated from college. He worked for over ten years as a newspaper photographer throughout Montana, honing his craft and learning to produce high-quality work under the pressure and deadlines of traditional print media. Eventually Erik transitioned into freelance photography, taking some initial assignments that included trips to war-torn Afghanistan and the surrounding region. Today, much of his work centers around the landscapes of the American West, and his photographs and films highlight many of the values that we celebrate time and again on this podcast—conservation, public lands, adventure sports, and interesting people who love the West. • Erik and I caught up on the day that A Few Steps Further was released to the public, so I’ve embedded it in the episode notes—be sure to check it out, you’ll love it. In addition to that film, we talk about some of his other creative work, including a film he’s currently making that explores the threat of a goldmine near Yellowstone National Park and the promising bipartisan coalition that has emerged to fight the threat. We also cover the lessons he learned from his years in photojournalism, and how he manages to balance his roles as a husband and father of two boys while running his own creative business and pursuing adventure sports such as hunting and ultra running. We also discuss his creative mentors and heroes and his favorite books and films, plus he gives some good advice on how to take better landscape photos. • Visit the episode notes for links to everything, and enjoy this fun conversation with Erik Petersen. ••• Episode Notes: http://mountainandprairie.com/erik-petersen/ A Few Steps Further: https://vimeo.com/273008250 Support the Podcast: http://mountainandprairie.com/support/ ••• TOPICS DISCUSSED: 3:35 - How Erik describes his work 4:10 - A Few Steps Further explained 6:05 - Erik’s background ultra running 7:35 - Growing up in Minnesota 8:50 - Backstory of Erik’s ultra running friend in the film 11:50 - What attracts Erik to adventure and endurance sports 14:00 - Early years 16:00 - Moving to Montana 18:15 - Experience from working at a newspaper 22:20 - Transition to freelance 25:30 - Time in Afganistan and scary stories 29:10 - Public lands 33:55- Mentors and heroes 36:15 - Nuts and bolts of filmmaking 37:50 - Patagonia media grant & new film 43:30 - How he choses creative projects 48:05 - How to take better landscape photos 51:00 - Favorite books and authors 53:00 - Favorite films 54:00 - Surprising activities 55:40 - Most powerful outdoor experience 57:50 - Best advice ever received 59:15 - Request of the listeners 1:00:05 - Follow Erik online

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I punch above our weight a bit by having Richard Chapo, a lawyer specializing in internet law for businesses, on the show. Richard is a business lawyer in San Diego who has been practicing for 25 years and advises small and large online businesses on how best to comply with laws applicable to conducting business online. We dig into some pretty gnarly legal stuff this week, including GDPR, collecting sales tax, and what's up with Apple and its back taxes. This is a great episode of Just the Tips that you won’t want to miss. What is an Internet lawyer? Sometimes the Internet may feel like a lawless land, so I had to ask Richard what he means when he calls himself an Internet lawyer. And he said that when he started out, it was just a pretty simple thing, but it’s become increasingly complex over the years, including sophisticated privacy statutes like GDPR, shifting sales tax questions and copyright issues. If you have an online business, or even just an online component to your business (as many do), you need to listen to this week’s episode of Just the Tips. What do business owners need to watch out for online? Richard, of course, watches the space closely for any legal issues that may pop up, and it’s fascinating to hear him run through examples big and small of mistakes people make online. He cited everything from Apple owing massive back taxes in Europe, to very small companies making mistakes early on that become huge problems as they scale, to casinos failing to properly disclose information in promotional videos. The legal world is, as always, a minefield, but luckily Richard knows where the mines are buried. This is truly a unique and fascinating episode of Just the Tips. What do businesses have to do with GDPR? Of course one of the most prominent laws impacting online businesses this year has been GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation passed in the EU focused on data protection and privacy. As Richard says, the right to privacy in the EU is as valued as the right to free speech in the U.S., and GDPR is the enforcement of that right. As Richard says, a company’s decision to comply with GDPR should be based on the cost of compliance. If you have only 10 sales in the EU, but the cost of compliance is $10,000, maybe it makes more sense to not sell in the EU than comply with GDPR. We think of the Internet as a worldwide thing, but regulations like GDPR could actually segment it. Really interesting stuff from Richard on this week’s episode of Just the Tips. Supreme Court and the state sales tax One of the big decisions to impact businesses that sell online was South Dakota v. Wayfair, a case heard by the Supreme Court in June. As Richard says, the legal precedent on whether businesses in one state that sell to another state have to pay the sales tax in that other state came from the 1970s and was based on catalog sales. And it held that businesses did not have to pay that sales tax. But things have changed, in June the Supreme Court reversed that decision. What does that mean for your business? Well, Just the Tips is always here for the free legal advice, so you have to listen to this episode! Outline of This Episode [3:28] What is an Internet lawyer?

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I welcome one of the best copywriters around, an award-winning designer, and a guy who knows his way around conversion rates and online marketing. Erik Stafford has won several AAF-ADDY Awards and ARDA Awards for his work, and now heads up Stafford Marketing, where he helps businesses define their brand, their tone of voice and all of the personality attributes a company needs to connect with their audience. This is a great episode of Just the Tips that you won’t want to miss. “Hey I bought a circus today.” Many of our guests start out in the corporate world and then get the bug to become an entrepreneur, but Erik has a truly unique background. His grandfather was a Russian immigrant who came over and worked his butt off and was the type of guy who would come home and tell his wife “Hey, I bought a circus today, or I bought a leather store today,” says Erik. So it was always in his blood. But growing up in Chicago, Erik took up graffiti art, and made money airbrushing jackets and more for gangs. But then he went to college as a fine art major, became a graphic designer, and eventually got into web design. All of this happens in the first five minutes of this episode of Just the Tips, so you know you’re in for a ride. Creating beautiful online brochures for no one to look at Erik did get a job as a web designer at an agency, and he learned quickly how to make beautiful websites and online content. But just as quickly he learned that he was making “beautiful online brochures” that would just sit there and no one would see. So he started digging around and learning about direct response marketing, and realized there was a better way to do things. So he was able to combine his experience doing brand strategy and brand voice, with the more action-driven angle of direct response, making him a Swiss Army knife of marketers. What is an empathy map? One of the fascinating things that Erik says in this episode is that he works with companies on building empathy maps. And what he means by that is creating an understanding of what motivates people, and what core emotions they’re looking to experience. And from there he builds a narrative that helps connect a company to that intended audience. The first step is building credibility, and from there it’s really fascinating how it all unfolds. Find out how on this week’s episode of Just the Tips. How Hollywood impacts your marketing Erik actually applies a Hollywood three-act structure to his clients’ work, meaning he tells them a story in a way that feels familiar to them, and ends with the action, the conversion, the company wants. It’s act one, the setup and the premise, act two is the climax or the confrontation, and then act three is the resolution.
