To commemorate the 90th anniversary of Porky Pig's debut in I Haven't Got a Hat, Jordan and Marc look at three 1930s Porky Pig cartoons that formed the basis of the legendary character. From his first solo lead role in The Blow-Out to a historian-lauded turn in Porky's Romance to a wild Tashlin romp in The Case of the Stuttering Pig, we discuss what worked for this character, what didn't, and lots of other ridiculous extraneous details.LINKS:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

Miranda Hart burst into our living rooms in 2009 with her semi-autobiographical, multi-award winning TV sit-com Miranda. Her irrepressible physical comedy and willingness to make fun of herself quickly endeared her to audiences, as she battled through socially awkward situations - particularly dating. She also had to deal with her overbearing mother, while popularising phrases like “Such Fun”, “Keep calm and Gallop on” and “Bear with”. She then took a leading role in the BBC drama series Call the Midwife as Chummy - Camilla Fortescue-Cholmondeley-Browne – and appeared in films including Emma, playing Jane Austen's chatterbox Miss Bates. Her recent memoir I Haven't been Entirely Honest With You describes how she lived for years with undiagnosed Lyme disease and the lessons she has learnt – she calls them “treasures” on her journey from illness to recovery. Miranda's musical choices include Grieg, Bach, Bizet and Mozart.

Join us for an hour of live music, politics, and self-reflection. Former Premiers Kathleen Wynne and Jason Kenney trade jabs onstage and look back on the year that was. Catharine Vandelinde, executive director of Options Housing, talks about her work getting people off the street and into homes. Jazz guitarist Jocelyn Gould performs "It Had To Be You," "Softly As In a Morning Sunrise," "I Haven't Managed to Forget You" and our theme music. Singer-songwriter Scott Merritt performs his songs "Moving Day" and "Willing Night." And Paul finds the spirit of Christmas... eventually.

It's been ten years of ‘bear with.. bear with' but *finally* we've got our beloved Miranda Hart back. Due to a long-term undiagnosed chronic illness (which we talk about, of course) Miranda has been largely out of the public eye for the past decade. I was so touched to be the first person she spoke to on her return to work. We covered writing her new book (full of amazing life advice), being an introvert, medical gaslighting, body image and…wait for it... her new husband. Miranda and I had a ball - her failures include not being a farmer's wife, not being an athlete and not making the school choir (it turns out there was a reason for this but she only found out years later and has never spoken about it before…). So if that's not tantalising enough for you then, quite frankly, I don't know what is. In my subscriber episode ‘Failing with Friends', Miranda stayed on to answer your questions including one about farting in front of your partner. Yes, we went there. Thank you, Miranda and welcome back, we missed you! ‘I Haven't Been Entirely Honest with You' by Miranda Hart is out now. Have something to share of your own? I'd love to hear from you!

The title does not do Kiefer Jones justice. At the age of 32 years of age, Kiefer has already served almost ten years in the U.S. Airforce and, after leaving he continued to do the same job as a contractor. For the last part of his air Force career, he worked in Europe and continued that work din Europe during the pandemic.   In late January of 2022 Kiefer experienced a serious snowboarding accident in Austria. The result was that he had a skull that was fractured in 14 places, a traumatic brain injury, all the ribs on the right side of his body were broken, and he suffered a broken back. After being in a coma for several weeks he regained consciousness and began a long road to recovery to the amazement of his doctors. He has recovered so much that recently he ran his first 5K marathon. He attributes much of his comeback to what he calls “positive adaptability”. We spend a great deal of time discussing this concept including Kiefer giving suggestions as to why it should be important to all of us and how we can adopt our own positive adaptability mindset.   No doubt that Kiefer is an unstoppable individual by any definition. In addition to continuing to do government contract work in Virginia where he lives, he and his wife Christine, (she prefers simply Tine), own a company called Tiki designs. The company produces what the Jones' call “digital story telling”. You get to hear all about it during our episode.   Sit back, relax and be prepared to be inspired and encouraged.   About the Guest:   Kiefer Jones is a 32-year-old United States Air Force veteran originally from the small town of Decatur, Indiana.  He considers himself to be an honest, positively adaptable, and intrinsically motivated world traveler with a passion to bring ideas to life and use creativity to communicate, tell stories, resolve problems, and ignite innovation. He is currently living in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and 2 cats after having had the unique opportunity to live and work in Europe for the last 7 years supporting the United States Air Force and the government. Almost 2 years ago, he was in a terrible snowboarding accident that put him in a coma for 7 days and left him with a broken spine, shoulder, and fractured his skull into 14 pieces which resulted in a traumatic brain injury, leaving him permanently blind in his right eye.  Despite this new challenge, he remains a passionate organizational agility leader, people and process tuner, creator, project manager, and scrum master with 10+ years of experience in the creative and information technology industries. He is also a long-time musician with a professionally produced album out on Spotify, iTunes, and the other digital music platforms. He considers himself an effective facilitator and adroit communicator with a focus on teams, value, and outcomes over outputs. Kiefer and his wife, Tine, are co-owners and digital creators for their own company, TiKi Design, where they've garnered engagement and business for viral accounts and clients resulting in over 120K new followers and generated more than 20 million new views and over 4 million new likes. They are enjoying building a new life in America.   Ways to connect with Kiefer: Here is a link to a case study I published regarding implementing scrum and kanban within the Air Force: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/us-air-force-overcome-scrum-jones-agility-leader-creative-pmp/   Our media business: https://tikidesignproductions.com/about  My LinkTree with affiliate links: https://linktr.ee/kieferjones My LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kieferjones/ Department of Defense news article from Stars and Stripes covering my road to recovery: https://www.stripes.com/theaters/europe/2022-05-11/former-ramstein-airman-on-the-road-to-recovery-after-horrific-snowboarding-accident-in-italy-5965528.html   About the Host: Michael Hingson is a New York Times best-selling author, international lecturer, and Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe.

Glad you dropped by we're happy to meet you and to have you here with us.   Michael Hingson ** 01:21 Hi there and welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset where inclusion diversity in the unexpected meet unexpected as a whole lot more fun than inclusion and diversity. And we'll probably get to a lot of that today. Anyway, our guest is Kiefer Jones Kiefer is 32 years old. So his bio says he was in the Air Force. He's faced some physical challenges along the way. I think it was all just to get attention, but he can tell us about it. I know that was no fun wasn't Kiefer. But anyway, I want to welcome you to unstoppable mindset. We're really glad you're here.   Kiefer Jone ** 01:58 Thank you, Michael. And thank you so much for having me happy to be a guest. And I've been looking forward to this all week, sir.   Michael Hingson ** 02:03 Well, tell me a little bit about maybe the younger key for growing up and all that and sort of how you got started or whatever.   02:10 Oh, ah, yeah, that   Michael Hingson ** 02:11 was I know that opens it that takes an hour but go to it. No, yeah. So   Kiefer Jone ** 02:16 what can I say I'm I'm a small town, Indiana kid. I grew up in a tiny little town called Decatur, Indiana. It's a one stoplight town. I am the oldest son of three boys in a single mother. So single mom household. Yeah, I grew up there and started off my life in this tiny one stop town where eventually we moved to Indianapolis. And I finished out high school. So that was quite a turn of I think environments, went to Indianapolis, finished high school. And after that, you know, decided, wow, I need a much better way to pay for college and try to figure out the next phase of life. And so that brought me to the Air Force. You know, the Air Force since then lead to a lot of different opportunities. But that's the real skinny of where I'm from, and just kind of you know that upbringing.   Michael Hingson ** 03:08 Well, there you go. What was it like? Having a single parent? I mean, I'm, I never did. I had both my parents until, well, I was 34. So I was out on my own and married by them. But what was it like having just a single mother and not a dad around? Absolutely.   Kiefer Jone ** 03:29 That's a great question. It's one that you know, I got to reflect on a little bit. And one of you know, and one of these these topics I'm sure we're gonna talk on. But that was one of the early challenges I think I faced and it was something that I'll be honest and kind of say, it's almost that old saying that if you can't miss something that you never had. And so I think that that just as a child, that's the way that it was to me, you know, people ask me that question all the time. And it's, I just, I didn't miss what I didn't have. And so, it I didn't meet I met my biological father, and much later in life when I was 27 years old, my goal, but during, you know, growing up and everything else, it was something that just wasn't because I didn't have it. Yeah. So it was, you know, I was grateful for what I did have,   Michael Hingson ** 04:15 what was it like meeting him?   Kiefer Jone ** 04:19 It was, you know, that it was curiosity was the was the biggest thing it was, you know, nurture nature, kind of those setting some of those arguments to the side and trying to figure that out. And I will say, you know, I had no expectations. And I showed up and we met each other and he's very different from myself. And you know, his family is very different. And it was it was enlightening. It was it was good, but it really, I would say that at the end of the day, it also didn't. It was nice to get some of those I guess those curiosities checked off the box. Outside of that it was just kind of a another day As we keep in contact lately, you know, I'll shoot him a message every now and again during the holidays or something. But it's not a relationship that that neither of us, I think, you know, have and continue to maintain. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 05:11 And I'm not surprised at that, you know, my one of my biggest curiosities, the question that I get asked all the time, is, well, you're blind, don't you want to see. And my response to that is, you know, life's an adventure. And having eyesight for me now would be another adventure. But I don't live just to get eyesight. I'm curious, it'd be interesting to experience it to know what it's like. But if it doesn't happen, it's not the end of the world for me. And I believe that all of us are not. Well, we're not, we're not formed, and we're not molded by our eyesight or lack of eyesight. We're molded by all sorts of different characteristics about us. And I would like to think that if I had eyesight from the beginning, I would still be somewhat like I am. And if I got eyesight, even after now, I wouldn't change my attitudes, because I think I've learned a lot about what it's like to see without actually having experienced it. So it's, it's kind of a fascinating thing, but I hear exactly what you're saying. It's, you know, it's a curiosity. And you got to satisfy that which is great as your mom's still around.   Kiefer Jone ** 06:31 She is indeed, yeah, she still lives very near the same town where I grew up that so.   Michael Hingson ** 06:38 And she keeps you honest.   Kiefer Jone ** 06:42 She does indeed. Yeah. keeps me honest. She taught me you know, to be to be good to people. And to be kind.   Michael Hingson ** 06:47 Well, you got it from two sides, because you're now married. That's absolutely correct. And your and your wife's name is?   06:54 Her name is Christine. Christine. Okay. Yeah. But she goes   Kiefer Jone ** 06:58 my team.   Michael Hingson ** 06:59 I was gonna say she goes by teen I thought, this is silent as Chris is silent. And Christine. Yeah. She's my better half. Well, and she keeps yelling at us, which is kind of cool. So you went to high school? Did you go to college?   Kiefer Jone ** 07:14 So I went to a year of college, my goal, and that's when I found out that I could not pay for it. And so that's when I said, How are we going to make this happen? You know, how are we going to address this obstacle, this challenge and the Air Force seemed like a really great opportunity, a good place to get that opportunity.   Michael Hingson ** 07:33 So you joined the Air Force? And what did you go off and do in the Air Force?   Kiefer Jone ** 07:37 Yes, sir. joined the Air Force. And I came in as what they call a client systems technician. And so I started my career in the Air Force working on computers, any end user device with an IP address? That was the work that I got to work on. So   Michael Hingson ** 07:52 did you fly yourself or what?   Kiefer Jone ** 07:58 That's that one is the common question. Hey, Air Force guy, you fly, right? No. So that's   Michael Hingson ** 08:04 why I asked because I kind of got the feeling that you weren't one of the ones that will set behind the stick. No,   Kiefer Jone ** 08:10 sir. And I was the guy who helped, you know, fix his computer, fix his email, get into his server, whatever he or she needed. That's when I that's what I helped do.   Michael Hingson ** 08:19 My father worked for the government for many years. As a contractor, he ran the precision measurements equipment lab at Edwards Air Force Base, in the well, in the 1960s, in the 1970s. So he worked with all of the test pilots and stuff, he worked with Neil Armstrong, Joe Walker, who flew the x 15, and other things like that. And his job was to make sure that everybody who worked for him, made sure that all the all the equipment and everything worked the way it was supposed to, which was a fascinating job. We went out and visited Edwards a few times. It was really funny. We went out once and my dad came on. So you can't come in quite yet. We've got some top secret equipment, and you can't come into the lab. And I said, Why is that an issue for me? And he said, Well, it is anyway. So   Kiefer Jone ** 09:13 that's a good point. And that's, you know, if you don't ask the answers, always no. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 09:17 Well, I didn't mind but it was it was fun to be able to ask the question and he laughed at it and and then when we got inside, everybody else laughed too. And they said we could election and my dad said, well, the rules are the rules. And I'm not gonna complain. Yeah. Which is, that   Kiefer Jone ** 09:35 is a fascinating thing. It doesn't you know, often specify and that it doesn't talk about, you know, people having visual disabilities and those things that just to hear the policy you either have the clearance or you don't, right.   Michael Hingson ** 09:48 So, you, you worked on the computers, you kept everybody going and all that. You must have some really interesting stories of challenges or things that you faced when you did that or any any kind of Cute stories to tell, not to give away secrets, but just fun stories.   Kiefer Jone ** 10:05 I mean, we did some really incredible work, you know, I would say that the most rewarding part of my entire Air Force career was when, you know, I had the ability and the opportunity to deploy it. And so when I did that, I was able to go out into, you know, the, the Al dhafra, in the United Arab Emirates. And we got to be a really large part of the connective tissue of the Air Force, it was, hey, not only is this the system that you're integrating on to this network, but this is how it's, you know, helping us utilize command and control capabilities to you know, fight enemies and do operations. And that was just such a really, really neat experience. And it helped, you know, be the adhesive glue for my career and say, Wow, okay, I'm not just fixing so and so's email, this, you know, this solution that we put in over here, this was some really incredible work. That   Michael Hingson ** 10:53 made up a big difference in did help. Place the glue that held everything together. And that makes perfect sense. And that really shows that no matter what your job is, all jobs are valuable. And we should never look down on or treat anyone differently just because their job isn't what we think is as important as our job because the bottom line is it very well could be   Kiefer Jone ** 11:16 you agree more. Yeah, everybody. It's just all about the perspective lens. We're looking at it through.   Michael Hingson ** 11:22 So you were in the Air Force for what, seven years? Yes, sir.   11:26 No, I'm   Michael Hingson ** 11:28 sorry. Oh, you're you're in Europe for seven years. Europe   Kiefer Jone ** 11:31 for seven and a half years now I was in the Air Force for a bow. I think just around nine years, almost at the 10 year marker.   Michael Hingson ** 11:41 So what happened at the end of seven years in Europe. So   Kiefer Jone ** 11:44 it was a bit of a strange story there. So I went to Europe as an Air National Guardsmen. And that's what I originally was, I was the guy who showed up did my job once a month and I worked for civilian companies regularly. So I worked for Dell and Eli Lilly previously. And then so they brought me to Europe on this interesting tour that said, Hey, this is a state budget, not a federal budget. And for you National Guard, guys, because we know you have commercial experience, we want to utilize you to help the Air Force over here to make it better. And so I've had to work, probably five different jobs. By the time I was I was done in Germany and got out of the uniform. And within that three and a half years, we were in Germany, I met a really great program manager for this exciting company that I hadn't heard of called Agile defense. And at that time, he said, Hey, I would love for you to come and join us join our team. I think it'd be a great asset for our company. And that kicked me off into my role as a government contractor and it brought us for another interesting assignment and Aviano Italy. And so that's where, you know, we we spent the rest of our European adventure and stayed out there for almost seven and a half years total in Europe altogether. Coming back to America, just this June, actually.   Michael Hingson ** 13:00 Wow. Yeah. And then you so you left the Air Force, and eventually and then what happened? What did you do then?   Kiefer Jone ** 13:09 I said, Yeah, so I left the Air Force and because I got to take off the uniform and pretty much show back up the next day as a contractor it was I just took the uniform off and came back and you know, the khakis and a polo or something and started my job and Aviano Italy. And once I became a government contractor, my role was was similar but different. You know, so I worked. Instead of reporting directly to the folks in the military uniforms, the Air Force members, I got work beside them as their peer as their consultant is their advisor for their technological solutions and to help maintain those and I essentially just, I helped manage a data center at Aviano Italy and, you know, got to help them and integrate well with their operations along the way, picking up interests and becoming passionate and business agility and some of the Agile frameworks. Did   Michael Hingson ** 14:03 it feel a lot different since you were no longer reporting directly to the military? And it had to be a little bit different feeling?   Kiefer Jone ** 14:13 Oh, yeah, it was and it took me a little bit to find my my ground. You know, just to walk in through the door and say, okay, you know, and it was that amount of freedom I think was a little bit liberating to come in through the door and say, Oh, I'm, I know what I need to do. I know what my job is. I know what my requirements are. And so I just go and I do that rather than waiting for someone to tell me what to do. And especially because this happened at the same time as COVID It was especially interesting because I was the first government contractor to Aviano Italy and so I truly was there kind of on my own just saying, hey, not only my approaching this changing career, but now change in reality and life at the moment with the lock downs and different things happening. And Italy was just so heavily afflicted by the throes of the pandemic. And, you know, probably arguably more than many of the European countries because their, their age demographic was much older. So a lot of unique and interesting challenges in the year of 2019 2020, not just for me, but for everyone.   Michael Hingson ** 15:22 Yeah, it had to be unusual for me, when COVID hit. I was in New York, on the fifth of March of 2020, even when I had a speech to give that night, which I did. And then I went back to the hotel, and I was hearing about this guy who attended the synagogue and he had this disease COVID. And it was spreading and all that. And they were talking about locking down the city and I went, I don't like this. So I was scheduled to fly out the next afternoon at like 430 or five o'clock, and I went, I'm not going to do that. They're going to lock down the city, I better escape. So I changed my flight. And I went out at 730 in the morning, and I'm glad I did, I got out before they locked down the city. And oh my gosh, girl with a couple of days later, but it could have been not. And so it was good to just get out. But it was a strange feeling. I came home. And my wife, who was still alive at the time had rheumatoid arthritis. So that's an autoimmune disease situation. So it made it easier to just stay home. And travel was was cut off pretty quickly anyway, but it was easy to stay home, because I didn't want to do anything that would jeopardize her Of course. And so we both just agreed to lock down and stay at home. And we liked each other well enough that we could talk and we just spend lots of time together. And then all went well. And I learned a lot about zoom and learn how to do podcasting. And that was very helpful later on. But the bottom line is, yeah, it was certainly a tough time for all of us. And the only thing that I find very unfortunate is so many people refuse to mask when they went out. And I think that they contributed greatly to the number of people who caught COVID and perished from it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that was just one of those things. But everybody makes their own choices. Yes, sir. And then you. You go you go deal with that? Well, so then when it so you came back from Italy? This year, this June? Wow. And you're in the summertime. Now, when did you and team get married? Tina   Kiefer Jone ** 17:45 and I got married, we will have been married seven years on the 21st of this month.   Michael Hingson ** 17:50 And Do either of you speak Italian? Well,   Kiefer Jone ** 17:53 we both do X good for you. Yeah, we both learned we learned a German as well. So it took three years of German was there. And it was that was really challenging. But in Italy, it was you know, we knew the drill. We knew what we needed to do. And so it was not only easier, because we spent a lot of time learning the German language. But now it was easier because Italian as a whole is much simpler language. German is very challenging as far as structure and rules. So   Michael Hingson ** 18:22 yeah, I love what Mark Twain said about German, which is basically that you start talking and you talk until the verb comes out at the other end. I took three years of German in high school, so I understood that but yeah. So you came back. And what do you do now?   Kiefer Jone ** 18:44 Yeah, so now I still work with the same great company, the same company, it's adult defense, and I actually support another Air Force agency called the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. So they're my primary customer and our primary customer at the moment. At the same time, I spend a lot of time you know, supporting my wife's business because we both co own a multimedia company called Tiki design productions. And so I'm usually pretty, pretty busy.   Michael Hingson ** 19:13 Cool. Tell me about the company. What do you do? Yeah,   Kiefer Jone ** 19:17 so my wife started this back in Germany because she went to Indiana University as a film student, and she graduated and almost right after graduation, we moved to Germany. And because she just couldn't go up to a film agency and say, Hey, can I work here because this isn't the way it works with the SOFA agreement and everything else. We decided to start our own endeavor there. And you know, you put a team plus keeper together, chop off some of the letters and that becomes Tiki. So that was actually coined by my mother. And so we created Tiki design productions. Yeah. And so with that company, you know, we provide what we like to call digital storytelling as a service. And so digital storytelling is a service is essentially, you know, everybody has a story to tell, as you know, you have me on this on this amazing podcast to tell my story. And I loved reading and hearing about yours. And digital storytelling is now because everything is so digitally involved phones, you know computers, tablets, et cetera. Everybody has these incredible stories, whether you're an individual or a business partner, or a mom and pop shop down the street. And so our job is to not only get to hear your story, but then to tell it and in a way that is emotional and captivating and, and cohesive not just another business sticker or placement, it's we truly pride ourselves on being able to tell people's stories in an authentic and unique way. And that's been really rewarding.   Michael Hingson ** 20:44 So what, what do you do to really bring a story alive? When you're, when you're doing a digital storytelling? What brings the story to people what, what draws them in to the story?   Kiefer Jone ** 21:00 Absolutely. So we spend some time at first, you know, getting to interview those folks, we get to interview the people, or the person that is, you know, that has hired us for our service. And we spend a good amount of time getting their emotions and getting what really, you know, makes them passionate about what they do. And so through that investigative, you know, mindset through inquisitiveness, through all of these things, we can then start to put ideas behind some of these videos, and some of these stories and we work collaboratively with them to say, Hey, this is what we're envisioning, right. And my wife has such a wonderful eye and wonderful gift to talk to people. And even if it's something is, you know, she did this recently for something like real estate, it sounds on paper, it's not the sexiest shiniest thing, right? It doesn't sound that incredible. And somehow she's able to ask enough questions in the right questions to grab this story, shape it into, you know, anywhere between a three minute long commercial or a seven minute long commercial or something like that. And just the way, you know, filming is done, the way that she films, the color grading all of these professional qualities that she puts behind it, she turns it into an unbelievable product. And people often you know, when they're done, they can't believe that she was able to tell their story in such a significant light. It's something that, you know, she's, they're really proud of which in turn, it makes us really proud.   Michael Hingson ** 22:23 So many people just don't understand that everyone really does have a story to tell I've had so many people say, Well, if I come on your podcast, I don't know what I talked about. Because my story is not interesting. It's not like these other people who have these interesting and amazing careers. And it is so difficult to get people to understand that everyone has a story. And the stories are there. It is a matter of helping to draw them out. But but they're there. So what do people when they why do they engage Tiki to do that? What is what is the whole idea behind digital storytelling?   Kiefer Jone ** 23:06 I you know, I think we touched on it just a little bit. But it is it's it's that you have a desire to tell your story. At the end of the day, we all want to have our story told and we you know, we'd like it to live somewhere. And previously, it was books and a lot of people putting their stories and memoirs into books. But with digital media being the new norm and consumption being done through the internet, it just seems like this is the the natural next step is what is our digital story. What's the our footprint and our legacy look like in the digital realm. And so people, people come to us for that.   Michael Hingson ** 23:41 So how do people use the stories that you create?   Kiefer Jone ** 23:46 Or they'll use them mostly everything from you know, people just wanting to tell a story about their first date of how they met their loved ones. And they'll post it on Facebook to share with people that they know and love. And you'll see others, you know, utilizing business commercials and they'll promote that either on whether it's you know, Facebook, Instagram, social media, any of those form factors, but as well as internet ads on YouTube or television, so I can go as small or as deep as anybody likes. Wow.   Michael Hingson ** 24:16 What's the longest story that you've created? I   Kiefer Jone ** 24:21 think that a lot of those you know, as far as length is concerned, it it normally that one is almost always like wedding videos. So a lot of people you know they love those those stories and I think that with those you spend a whole day capturing footage and being able to tell that kind of story and it's a special one to tell it is usually people you know, that one's a lot, a lot more for the memories. I think of those folks rather than it is for everyone else to sit and watch it because even businesses you know, don't typically want a a 20 minute long commercial or want their story to be told for that long. So I'd have to say I think weddings   Michael Hingson ** 24:59 that your 20 minute story is a is a long story, especially for for business people who operate in the mindset that anything beyond a 30 or a 62nd video, people will lose attention. And I'm not exact, totally sure about that. But that's, but I understand 20 minutes is way too long to, it's all in how you tell the story as to how long you can make it and keep people's interest? Yeah.   Kiefer Jone ** 25:29 It goes back to that that y value of okay, well, who's it for? Who are we making it for? And what's the what, what do you want to get out of this? And with wedding videos, I think it's just, it's, it's become a better version of a scrapbook?   Michael Hingson ** 25:41 Very much so. And that and that makes sense. Well, so you do that. So do you do company work? Well, how much of your time do you spend doing it?   25:55 Just depends, you   Kiefer Jone ** 25:56 know, everything in art seems to be feast and famine, you get a little bit in a you know, sometimes you're you've got a lot of different clientele and different things to do. And sometimes it's not so much. So I get to ebb and flow my time pretty well. But there's, you know, at least there's always something to be done. If it's not directly helping the service or to help my wife was something we go into. Okay, well, what's our next what's our next marketing strategy looks like from Mr. Company. Okay, how do we promote ourselves? Where do we? Where do we go? And what do we who do we target to be able to continue?   Michael Hingson ** 26:28 And did you say you still do the government contract work?   Kiefer Jone ** 26:31 Yes, sir. Five days a week,   Michael Hingson ** 26:33 you you keep pretty busy. Yes, sir. And if they wanted you to come and do a digital story about the company yet? Oh, well, because   Kiefer Jone ** 26:42 this is, you know, the Air Force Office of Scientific research has its own PR department that you know, that they don't really ask me to do any of that.   Michael Hingson ** 26:52 Well, you never know. Something. That's something to think about. Well, so you and your wife clearly have a very good and close relationship. But I think that's important. We got to do that for 40 years. So I understand the whole concept. But you, you have this relationship, what are kind of maybe the three or so things that you really feel, go into making up your relationship and keeping everything so positive? Yeah,   Kiefer Jone ** 27:25 yes, sir. And Michael, I was, I was so sad to hear about your late wife. I'm very sorry.   Michael Hingson ** 27:31 Well, like I tell people, though, I need to continue to be a good kid. Because if I don't, I'm going to hear about it from her. She's up there monitoring somewhere.   Kiefer Jone ** 27:41 Yes, there. Yeah, you know, our relationship is an interesting one. Because my wife and I spent so much of our initial time, just getting to know each other, there was, you know, we we actually weren't together. And we, we both met each other very independent stages of our lives. And it was something that it was almost tangible, I could feel that independence about her. And she could feel it about myself. And so we actually, you know, we were just friends, and we just got to know each other. And so, I do think that the bulk of our relationship, and I would say any real great relationship has to be built on the foundation of honesty, and I'm talking real honesty, you know, showing who the real you is. And that requires a bit of bravery to be the real you and to talk about and say, hey, no subject is too taboo. We're going to talk about everything. And so I think that that's the, the first pillar. And the other two from that, I think are you know, they are products that rely heavily on honesty, right, so if your relationship is built, if your foundation is built on honesty, one of the things that comes as more of a result of that the second most important thing to me is laughter. Right, finding time to be silly. And, you know, with being honest, and your true self, there's a bit of silliness that comes with that naturally, you know, and so lots and lots of laughter I don't think that you can ever go wrong and you know, being a big kid and laughing all the time. And you know, the third most important thing to me is communication. And again, that is a another product of honesty, discussing everything and often you know, it's I find it hard to hear when people you know, have to schedule time for each other to sit down and just have a conversation and I can you know, I can try to understand because I know that people get busy but you know, we just communication is such a giant pillar in our relationship that I couldn't imagine having to schedule time to sit down with my wife to get a few words and   Michael Hingson ** 29:50 yeah, I appreciate all three of those because they're they're very much a part of what made our marriage I think such a great One communication is so important. And you have to do it all the time. And we liked talking to each other about anything. And as you pointed out honesty and being open is absolutely crucial about whatever. And it's important to be able to have that deep of a relationship, that you can talk about anything and not judge. And I think that's the other part of it. You, you communicate, but you don't judge the other person just because they are honest enough to tell you something that, you know, you didn't even think about.   30:37 Exactly, yes, sir.   Michael Hingson ** 30:41 We had a podcast interview quite a while ago with a gentleman who lives back near where you live. And when he and his wife turned 40, he asked her, he said, So what do you want to do with the rest of your life? And she said, I want to adopt a daughter from China, which totally floored him. And he said, why? And she told him, Well, they eventually did it, it became an adventure for them. And I think the daughter Mia is probably about 2425 years old. And a few years ago, she wanted to actually try to find her birth parents, which is hard in China, but they did. And he's written a book about it, which is really cool.   31:24 What's the name of the book?   Michael Hingson ** 31:26 I wish I could remember, but it is. If you still have the email, I said, I'll have to go find the episode. But it's, if you still have the email that I sent you as one of the episodes that that I included.   Kiefer Jone ** 31:40 Okay, I do. Excellent. Yeah, I'll have to make sure to go and watch that one and get the book sounds, you know, some similarities there. Just meeting parents and that kind of challenge. How fascinating.   Michael Hingson ** 31:52 Yeah, he's, it's a fascinating story. But he really worked hard at going through it all. And they, they agreed, and they went and they adopted a daughter. And then they adopted a second daughter. And I wish I could remember the name of the book right off, but it's been a long time. It's like episode 38 or something. And we're up at episode 277. So it's a while ago, but it's a fascinating book. I haven't read the book. It wasn't available in a form I could read, but he told me all about it. So it was really fascinating to hear the story. Well, that happens. So you have gone through some physical challenges in your existence, haven't you?   Kiefer Jone ** 32:40 Yes, sir. It's yeah, it was, you know, towards the tail end of us leaving leaving Europe. And yeah, I had a separate a really serious Polly traumatic incident in Innsbruck, Austria. Ah,   Michael Hingson ** 32:58 and what happened, if you want to talk about it? Yeah,   Kiefer Jone ** 33:01 of course, I was. I was snowboarding we were in school. It was a ski resort that my wife and I loved and we cherish and we've been to it so many times. And it was a wonderful day, like so many of our days spent out there and the snow was coming down. And we were just having a great time. And essentially, on this run, that there's a, there's a little fork in the road, and either you stay in the Austrian side, or the other side allows you to go over to Switzerland, which is really neat. You know, isn't that something being able to snowboard in two different places. And so, I'm just really going and we're moving because it's feeling good. And we're probably, you know, probably 45 miles an hour, I think my my friend who was with us had his GoPro and he caught the whole thing on video for both good and bad. But as we're coming down this and I'm getting to that fork in the road, somebody yells at me, and I realized that I might be missing my turn. So I turn around to look because I look ahead and I see this signs there, then the steel signage jetting out, I see. Okay, it's probably 15 feet ahead and I turn around the look. And then as soon as I turn my my head back forward, that's the basically the steel signs that were pointing out of the postage, it hit me right underneath my right eye, and it immediately caved my skaaland and shattered it into about 14 pieces, some of those pieces getting lodged into the the front part of my brain. And so you know, immediately it knocked me unconscious and my then lifeless body, I guess. And unflinching body goes into the poll, which was not covered. And so all of my ribs on my right side were broken and a number of them went through my lungs. My rotator cuff and my right shoulder was shattered and I broke, you know, or I fractured my spine as well. And so you know, I was I was at the highest Glasgow Coma. index level that you can be. And, again, due to my wife and her quick ability to act, she came down and she saw me and knew that something wasn't right. And just, you know, this just shows just her brain and how incredible it is she was able to not only call the right number, which isn't 911, you know, it's 112 Over there. Yeah, call the number. And she got somebody on the line. And she was able to, you know, despite language challenges and barriers there, she was able to get some folks over to pick me up via helicopter.   Michael Hingson ** 35:36 And so when you do it, you do it right, don't you?   Kiefer Jone ** 35:38 Oh, yeah, I guess so.   35:42 Anyway, go ahead. Oh, no. So the helicopter,   Kiefer Jone ** 35:44 it came and picked me up and they had to resuscitate me in the back of this helicopter, you know, a few. Who knows how long the doctors weren't sure. They, you know, but either a minute, the other way, and I wouldn't be having this conversation. You know, I heard this so many times during my recovery from my doctors. And so that sent me into a coma. And I was in a coma for seven days in Innsbruck, Austria and their ICU unit for their hospital over there. And when I finally did wake up, I was blind in my right eye, and not because of the damage to my eye, my eyes actually completely healthy. You wouldn't you know, if you could see me, Michael, you wouldn't believe it, but the eye is completely healthy. And it's just this specific damage done to my brain. This left me now permanently blind.   Michael Hingson ** 36:38 In your right eye?   36:39 Yes, sir.   Michael Hingson ** 36:40 Do you see still well, from your left eye?   Kiefer Jone ** 36:43 Yeah, left. I mean, I didn't see super well, before I added contacts and glasses my whole life. So but you   Michael Hingson ** 36:50 can you drive? I can drive you okay.   Kiefer Jone ** 36:53 You know, that was one of the, you know, part of the recovery process. The   Michael Hingson ** 36:57 brain is such an adaptable thing, and made great that you can do that. Well, so what, what got you through all of that?   Kiefer Jone ** 37:09 This was this is one of those one of those things, you know, we talked about positive adaptability a little bit. And, you know, I think when I think about positive adaptability, I think about it in three different ways is how I've been able to sum it up, you know, the, I think it's centered around three parts and positive adaptability. Part one is gratitude, you know, gratitude, how can I reflect? What can I be thankful for. And as I was in that hospital, and I woke up, obviously, the first thing I'm thankful for is Oh, my God, I'm alive. You know, the next section of gratitude was, okay, I think I have, you know, I know who I am. I have my memories, even though these doctors are saying you might not have this, you might not have that they're unsure. But that's what that's all that's going through my through my brain at the time is, how can I what am I, you know, I'm grateful about all of these different things. And then the next part of positive adaptability is really intention. So I have gratitude for for everything that I still have all of this stuff, but now what's, what's my intention? And I knew that my intention in that bed before I could even really before I had walked, before I had really moved at all before I, you know, knew whether or not I could, it was that I was gonna get better. That was my intention, whatever that looks like, even if it was accepting this new normal. Right. And so it was, you know, this is, this was a big intention. That's a big blanket intention. I guess, you know, for my other Agile methodology, industry, people, we could call that the epic to the user stories, my intention was to get better. And then after that, it was it was action. So you know, first reflecting and saying, Hey, I'm grateful. Second was, what do what do I want to do? And then third was action, first step, and all that I could do really Michael was to listen to the doctors, listen to people listen to my wife, who was visiting. And then it was basic things after that was okay. How do I eat? How do I get? How do I get nutrients back into my body? How do I if I can't walk, can I practice sitting up in the hospital bed? And so I would, you know, kind of sit up and do what I could and move different parts of my body. And then it was, Okay, the next iterative thing, how do I walk at first, I couldn't even walk a few steps to the bathroom. And then it was just iterative progress of, okay, you made it to this title last time key for it. Can you make it a little bit further? Can you make it a little bit further? And then it was memory tests, you know, all the way up to just this summer? I did my first 5k that I've done, you know, since my accident, and so I did a 5k this summer. How long ago was the accident? The accident was in February, I'm sorry, January of 20 2214.   Michael Hingson ** 40:04 Wow. Okay, so you'll be coming up on two years soon. Yes, sir. But you did the 5k.   40:13 Yeah. Yeah. Well, how   Michael Hingson ** 40:15 did you learn about this concept of positive adaptability?   Kiefer Jone ** 40:21 It's, it's something that I had, you know, I'd never heard it until I think I, I started doing a lot of introspection introspection during my recovery, there was, there was a three month part of my recovery where I didn't really get up, and I didn't really do anything, my doctor said that, hey, you just need to be still be there, do some cognitive, you know, there are great applications out there, I used a couple of them to train my brain and help develop my my new synapses. Because micros, I'm sure, you know, when your brain gets damaged, your brain never heals, it just creates new roads to travel down, right. And so, you know, utilizing that I spent a lot of time in my own mind, just thinking. And positive adaptability was something that, you know, I don't know if I coined it, but it's certainly going to be the name of the book that I hope to put out in 2025, because nobody's taken the title yet. So it's something that I just, I, I found that that was the way that I approached my life. And it was even that way before my accident, it was this is, you know, this is how I've gotten from here to here it almost every challenge and major obstacle of my life. It's not, you know, it's not just resiliency or optimism. It's it's positive adaptability. And when I said it, I wrote it down in my, in my phone, and I started writing ideas for books, and I started, you know, more fleshing out this concept that I hadn't really been introduced to, but that I think, just makes a lot of sense in the way a lot of people navigate their challenges and obstacles and you yourself, I believe, are a, a wonderfully shining candidate of positive adaptability. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 42:06 I think that all too often we, we focus on so many negative things, we focus on why we can't do stuff, as opposed to how we make it happen. And there's no reason that we can't do whatever we feel we can do. And I mean that and and again, not to be in a punish a punny way, but in a positive way, we really can be positive, we really can learn to adapt and do so many things that we don't think we can. And, and unfortunately, I think all too often we get taught that we can't do things, we can't really be as malleable and as adaptable as we really can be. Right? And it gets to be a real a real challenge. So you, you just suddenly created this concept. If I were you, I'd go copyright it somewhere. And that way, you've got it for the book. Yeah, yeah, that's   Kiefer Jone ** 43:07 good feedback. And, you know, it's something that I have to look into. But yeah, positive adaptability is truly, you know, ever since I started, it's something that I, I bring up often, and I've tried to, you know, the folks that I get to interact with, and the way I get to work with people try to implement these things in every which way, not only in personal life, but professionally, too.   Michael Hingson ** 43:28 So just sort of out of curiosity, what would you say is the difference between positive adaptability and resilience? Because resilience is, of course, something that many of us experience were resilient, because we, we overcome adversity and so on. But what's the difference between positive adaptability and resilience? Absolutely.   Kiefer Jone ** 43:48 And that was something you know, I had sat and dwell on for a while. And you know, we, when we think about resilience, we think about typically elasticity, we think about the ability of someone to snap or bounce back from something, maybe it's from adversity, maybe it's just a large challenge, about resiliency, in my opinion, it doesn't really imply that, you know, a positive choice was really made, or maybe a bad pattern. And so, you know, the simplest example I can think of is, you know, somebody walks through the door, and maybe they get punched in the face, right? And they get sick, I'm going to be resilient about this. I'm going to do the same thing tomorrow and do it again and again, and you can take a lot of punches, right, but doesn't necessarily mean we solved a problem. But we can take that and expand that. As far as you know, someone might say, Well, my country has showed true resilience regarding this war. And maybe they had but maybe no one had ever questioned if if was that war being fought for the right reasons. You know, were we incredibly resilient, but did we was it for the right purpose? And so, for me resiliency defined And someone's ability or you know, an entity's ability to bounce back. But positive adaptability can provide us with really positive posturing for how we land advantageous lead.   Michael Hingson ** 45:14 Okay, go into that a little bit more, if you would.   Kiefer Jone ** 45:18 Sure. Yeah. I mean, I think that just talking about essentially positive adaptability is the heading. It is, you know, it's not only saying, Hey, I'm choosing to look at this positively and be resilient about it. But this is a heading for where I need to go. This is the direction for where I want to take this. And I think that that stems back into kind of what what positive adaptability means to me. And it's just so much more than just optimism. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 45:50 Well, it clearly is, because it's not enough to be optimistic, but it's taking that and deciding on a direction deciding on a choice. And then following through with that, until either you find that you made a great choice. Or you find that, well, maybe that wasn't such a good choice. And what we need to do is alter course a little bit, which gets back to the adaptability part of it.   Kiefer Jone ** 46:22 Exactly. And that's, and that's, you know, when I when I think about it, and how I would describe it to others. And you know, just now that we're talking about that, and kind of centered around optimism, as you know, so if, for example, we take these three pillars of positive adaptability, gratitude, intention, and action, and we think about it from the point of optimism, gratitude, and looking at the old optimistic phrase of the glass is half full. Right. So when I think about gratitude, first we say, well, I'm grateful for water. Okay, excellent. We are grateful for water. But then when we think about intention, okay, well, why are we grateful for this water? What is our intention? Is it to have more water? So then my question might be, how do we find a stream? Is the question is my intention to make it look like we have more water than maybe my intention, then is to find a smaller cup, right? Or is my intention to share the water? So then how can I get multiple cups so that we're all sharing this, and then action is carrying out that action? So it's, it's optimism, it's resilience plus?   Michael Hingson ** 47:36 Makes perfect sense. And the the whole idea, again, is to really learn more about yourself. And I talk a lot about introspection, spending time at the end of the day, what worked, what didn't work. And even when and something worked, can I make it better, but really looking at yourself in a in a positive light, and recognizing that there really isn't such a thing as failure? It's another opportunity. And the failure is, well, this didn't work the way I expected it to work. That's not mean it was a failure. That doesn't mean I should be defeated. It means All right, what's next sports fans? And how do we move forward from here? Hmm, sir. And I think that that's what what most people really miss in the whole process is taking the time to analyze and look at yourself and you, you're your best teacher, nobody else can teach you like you can teach you. And so we should look at what goes on around us and what we do. And look at it in the light of how can I make it better?   Kiefer Jone ** 48:49 Yeah, yeah. And I think that, you know, it comes down to just folks in their, their practical strategies and sort of exercises that I guess they can develop to sustain that kind of, of, you know, mindset.   49:04 Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 49:07 So have you read any books or encountered other kinds of things that have really helped you move forward on this whole concept of positive adaptability? Ah,   Kiefer Jone ** 49:18 yeah, you know, that the first one that comes to mind, of course, is my wife, my better half, right? So just being so instrumental in our transparent communication, and a partner and a resource and a grounding point for everything that I do. Sometimes I might just come out and blurt out the most ridiculous idea she's ever heard. But she'll say, well keep her that was, you know, that was here, but you know, how do we make it here? Or she might tell and keep it that's crazy. So, you know, she is the wives can do that. And that's fair. They keep us grounded. And so yeah, I couldn't have I couldn't have imagined a better partnership and I love having her in my life to be that person. And I To say that, you know, the, on top of someone to share experiences with and to mentor and do these things I have had a significant, you know, nudge in my life from an executive at our company, agile defense, and his name is Lonnie Nichols. And he's, you know, despite all of his busyness as an executive to our company, and being a great family, man, he's been, you know, a great guide, he's nudged me to be better. He's he actually challenged me to get on this with you today, Michael, because at first I said, the same thing I think a lot of your folks do is, I don't have a story to tell. He said, Keep Ramona, I think it's even more important that you do this, right. And so he, he challenged me to do this. And he's been, you know, challenging me to just be better in every way that I can. And he also eats, breathes and sleeps, you know, this mantra of listen first. And I love that, and I've applied that in my life. And he's, you know, he's turned me on to a number of books that I've read. And, you know, outside of that some resources that I've I've implemented that, you know, helped me more with positive adaptability, I have this great gift, my wife bought me called The Five Minute Journal. And you know, every single page, it essentially has an incredible quote at the top, it's small, it's short, it asks you to list three things you're grateful for. And three things that would make today great, a daily affirmation, you know, then you get, at the end of the day, at night, when you do your retrospective, you look through and you list three highlights of your day. And then what you learned. And so that's been an incredibly wonderful, you know, thing to have in my life and implement. And it always allows me, as you said, Michael, to go back and reflect and see if I could have made something a little bit better. And I love that.   Michael Hingson ** 51:43 And even if you can't, you may tomorrow. Exactly,   Kiefer Jone ** 51:47 yeah, you write about it the next day. But you know, outside of that I got, you know, Ted lasso. For it being a fictional television show, I couldn't imagine a more positively adaptable character out there that I've I still, every time I watch the show, it's only three seasons long, I continue to learn something new that I can apply to my life to others, the lives of others. And that's been a really great show. And then there's a book out there called Positive Intelligence. That's a book that helps us identify, you know, our sabotage our saboteur thoughts, and our saboteur emotions, and how to live our lives and mitigate some of those things. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 52:28 one thing that I think is coming out of this is I would love to have your friend from national defense to come on the podcast as well, how do we get him on?   Kiefer Jone ** 52:35 Oh, man, I think he, I think he'd be happy to do it. And he's got, you know, he's got an incredible story as well. And he shared, he shared some of that with me. So I'll definitely, you know, reach out to him and see if I can, you know, hey, you challenge me and challenge you, and   Michael Hingson ** 52:50 give you my email address. And let's touch base, I would love to we're always looking for more guests on unstoppable mindset. And, you know, as I said, everyone has a story to tell them, It's neat when people really understand that they have a story to tell and want to tell the story. And, you know, I'm thinking, and I know, I'm doing this during the podcast, but you might think about doing a digital story about positive adaptability, and copyright it and that also starts to get the message out, maybe you do a few of those, and that becomes part of the book. Yeah, yeah,   Kiefer Jone ** 53:23 exactly. And that's, you know, that's this is really, Michael, this is kind of phase one for for future implementations and things like that. And it's, it's establishing that as your personal brand, you know, I'm sure that you'd be a great resource and have a lot of advice for, hey, this is this is how you you do this is how you bring your message forward, because you've got such a great one that you're sharing with the world, love   Michael Hingson ** 53:45 to help in any way that we can. So can you suggest some exercises and some different things that people can do to kind of help create for themselves this whole idea of a positive adaptability mindset? Ah,   Kiefer Jone ** 54:01 yeah, yeah, absolutely. I, you know, we touched on some of this a little bit earlier. And I think that some of the stuff that you said is, it's amazing how, you know, somebody who's been through it, and who has it, you get it already. And you've already said some of the things but there are four things that I think about, you know, and it's, the first one is practicing honesty. And as we talked about earlier, and you'd said, Michael, that the hardest part of honesty is with ourselves. It's that introspection, you know, and it's, I know that that can be challenging for a lot of people. And the first thing I've had folks throw at me is how can I be honest, you know, with about this or about this, and it's, if you need some help, there are resources out there to get it but we do we have to practice honesty in the first time that we do. It's got to be with ourselves. And as you said, you know, ourselves are our best teacher. So number one, practice honesty. Number two, listen, to understand, not respond, listening to understand and that's so challenging and such a big deal in every aspect of life. The third I would say is, as we've talked about a little bit is, reflect and be grateful, you know that you know what best, you know, there's an expression out there, this, you know, you know what the best day of the year is? The best day of the year is today. Yeah, and that's true every single day, you know, we can either make today our masterpiece or our calamity, and everything is a result of the choices that we get to make. So reflecting and be grateful is the third. And finally, the fourth one, that's, you know, I think we miss a lot is that we need to think more about we, and less about me. Yeah, and I like to call this the main character syndrome, society and, and different things, you know, we think that we're the only the only person in the story a lot of folks and you know, even or if it's just, you know, me and my wife, it's my family. It's my, my, my versus our, our, our we, we we and when I think about some great stories out there any great story, right? The first one that comes to my mind is I love the fiction so much, but Harry Potter right? name implies that it's a main character, right? Harry Potter is the main character. But when we think about that, you know, without her without, or I'm sorry, in Harry Potter, without Dumbledore without the you know, friendship of Ron and Hermione Heck, even without his opposition of Voldemort, right? There are so many characters in the story. And that turns out when we really think about it, Harry Potter was not a main character at all. He's, you know, he's a character among so many. And we were just lucky enough to learn about just one of them. Right? Imagine hearing all of the stories about the rest of those people in those books. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 56:43 um, all of the books are Harry Potter. And, and I think that's really important because we are telling it from his standpoint. So he's, he's, in a sense, a main character from the standpoint of we're we're hearing his story, but it really is about everyone. It's an incredible world. Now, there's a new series, by the way, the James Potter series, and there are at least five books in that series. So it's about Harry son, at Hogwarts. And there's some really great twists in those. So if you haven't read those, those are, those are another series to look at.   57:21 Oh, I had no idea. Well, I don't want   Michael Hingson ** 57:24 to give anything away. Except, you know, let's just say McGonigal doesn't want to and isn't going to be the school mistress at Hogwarts forever. But you'll never guess who becomes the new schoolmaster at the end of the first book, or the beginning of the second book, and I'm not going to give it away. I will never guess it. It is nobody that you can think of I will tell you that right now. All   Kiefer Jone ** 57:55 right, I want to put I want to think about and I'll send you an email, you know, for our guests.   58:01 Thanks, thank you. But   Michael Hingson ** 58:04 it's a good series. But but the point really is, is that this world is composed of all of us. And we're all part of the same world under the same God. And we've got to start recognizing that it isn't just us ourselves. I always believe in doing things as a team, when I wrote thunder dog, my story of the World Trade Center and working with a guide dog, I had the great honor to work with someone else. And it was a team effort. We both worked, we both wrote, We collaborated, we both edited. And then when I did running with Roselle, which was really for kids, although more adults by it than children, because it's not a picture book. But again, we I collaborated and we're just getting ready to do a new book that the book has written, it's now in the hands of the publisher. And the publisher has actually already put out a pre order link to I guess, gauge interest. But that book is entitled live like a guide dog, stories of a blind man, his dog and his dogs about adversity. Moving forward in faith, and well, I keep blanking out on the whole sub, the whole sub title of the book, but it's adversity, overcoming challenges and moving forward in the faith. And it's it's fun. And it's about learning to control fear, learning that in reality, we all can control the things that happened to us, at least how we react to it. We don't need to be blinded by fear. And so the book is really about that because I talked for 22 years as a speaker about not being afraid going out to the World Trade Center on September 11. But when I Haven't done is taught other people that you can do the same thing. And so it's a lot of fun to do.   1:00:05 Oh, powerful, but   Michael Hingson ** 1:00:09 it is about us not Lee. And the writing is better because it's us. And everything we do is better because it's us. There's no I in team and there's a reason for that. Sorry,   Kiefer Jone ** 1:00:22 I couldn't agree more. Yeah, we, you know, it takes a village, we none of us get anywhere we are by ourselves.   Michael Hingson ** 1:00:28 Right? So for you, besides writing the book, what's next in the world to do?   Kiefer Jone ** 1:00:35 Next in the world, and I think this is one of those catalysts for me, Mike? Well, this is one of those things that challenged me to say, hey, and I had to start thinking about it, you know, what do I have the ability? What do I have the ability to do right now? Where can I make an impact? And right now the answer, you know, for me, it's the Internet work, and home, right? Home is the easy one. So I listen, I reflect you know, I, if you're kind to everyone, no harm is goin

I HAD A BLAST DOING THIS ONE. I HAVEN'T EVEN LISTENED TO THE PLAYBACK YET,  BECAUSE I AM SO HAPPY. NOW, I AM GOING TO LISTEN, JUST LIKE YOU AND I HOPE I HAVEN'T FUCKED UP TOO MUCH.

Episode 32:  In this episode, Timalyn will discuss the process remove a tax lien.  She recently taught a class to a group of tax professionals.  Many of them had questions related to this topic.  Based on their responses, she thought this would be a good topic to share with actual taxpayers who follow her podcast. If you're dealing with this situation, you've probably already received the IRS Notice of Federal Tax Lien.  The IRS files this with your county clerk's office.    What Is a Federal Tax Lien? Timalyn explains that it's when the IRS “calls dibs” on your property, until your federal tax debt is paid.  Even if you're not a homeowner, it applies to any property (real or personal), such as a car.  The lien is attached and will enable the IRS to recover its money from the proceeds, if that asset is sold.  A business may have accounts receivables. The lien also attaches to this so that the IRS gets paid from those receivables or other business property.  In fact, the IRS can even attach a lien to your retirement funds.  This is a serious situation. In Episode 7, Timalyn explained the Collection Statute Expiration Date (“CSED”).  It's the last day the IRS can legally collect on a tax debt.  Federal tax liens also have a similar date.  They are self-releasing within 10 years of the date they were filed, as long as the IRS doesn't re-issue a lien for specific years.    What if I Haven't Received a Notice of Federal Tax Lien? This doesn't necessarily mean you're in the clear.  The lien is issued after the tax is assessed and after a CP14 has been issued.  The CP14 gives a date by which the payment must be made.  If you fail to comply with that deadline, there is a silent tax lien.    Due process has been followed for the lien to exist. It just hasn't been sent to the county clerk's office. That's why it's referred to as a silent lien. This is important to note because the IRS can issue a tax levy, as discussed in Episode 5 without filing a lien with the county clerk. What if I Can't Pay the Tax Debt? As Timalyn discussed in Episode 10, you may have the option of setting an IRS installment agreement.  If you owe less than $10,000 and have been tax compliant for the past few years, it may be a guaranteed option.  Check out Timalyn's e-book, How to Guarantee a Pay Plan with the IRS. Assuming you've already received the tax lien, how do you remove it? 4 Ways to Remove a Federal Tax Lien The first way:  Pay the Debt  This is not sarcasm.  It's the obvious solution, if you can do it.  Things happen and situations change.  Once the debt is paid, the tax lien will be removed within 30 days.  The amount required can include the tax debt, any penalties and any interest that has accrued. Call the Centralized Lien Office at 800-913-6050.  You'll want to verify the total amount owed, request the years with a tax lien issued on them and importantly, to request a Payoff Letter.  This letter will be necessary if you're going to sell an asset with a lien attached.  Timalyn discussed selling a home with a tax lien in Episode 4.  The Payoff Letter would be needed by the title company, so you can prove how the lien will be resolved, without delaying or preventing the sale. The second way:  A Discharge of Property This process will usually take about 45 days.  You'll request that the IRS remove the tax lien so the property can be gotten rid of.  You'll have to provide specific information on the IRS Form 14135, Application for Certificate of Discharge of Property from Federal Tax Lien.  The information will include: ●      The Fair Market Value of the Property ●      Who Is Interested in Purchasing the Property ●      The Sale Price (to determine the proceeds available to pay off the tax debt) ●      And other, related details The third way:  Subordination This does not eliminate the lien.  However, with subordination, the IRS agrees to stand aside to allow another creditor to get its share before the IRS.  They'll potentially do this if they feel it's in their best interest.  Timalyn give the example of someone with an installment agreement who is struggling to meet the agreed upon payments.  If another debt could be eliminated, it would enable more money to be applied to the installment agreement payments. The fourth way:  Requesting a Lien Withdrawal If your tax debt is less than $25,000, you're setup with a direct debit installment agreement, you have no defaults related to the agreement, your most recent tax returns are filed, your tax withholdings are in order (or you're making your estimated quarterly payments) and you've made 3 consecutive payments on the agreement, a good faith request for lien removal can be made. You'll need to complete IRS Form12277, Application for Withdrawal of Filed Form 668(Y), Notice of Federal Tax Lien.  Is Bankruptcy an Option for Back Taxes? This is a misconception many people have.  You cannot put a tax return into a bankruptcy unless it meets a 3 year, 2 year, 240-day rule.  As of the recording of this episode in 2023, your 2022, 2021 or 2020 tax debt would not qualify.  Additionally, if you have a federal tax lien, you should not put that into the bankruptcy.  The IRS has a secured interest, via the lien, and you'll have to pay it back anyway.  Bankruptcy may be a viable option for debts unrelated to tax lien.  If this is your situation, Timalyn suggests you work with both a bankruptcy attorney and a tax professional to make sure your bases are covered.  Timalyn is the owner and lead accountant at Bowens Tax Solutions and they can assist with tax lien removal.  If you want to work with someone else, at least you now have good information to help you understand the process.  If you would like to work with Bowens Tax Solutions, make sure you book your tax relief consultation with Timalyn. Please consider sharing this episode with your friends and family.  There are many people dealing with tax issues, and you may not know about it.  This information might be helpful to someone who really needs it.  After all, back taxes shouldn't ruin their life either.  As we conclude Episode 32, we encourage you to connect with Timalyn on social media.

By early 1989, Jason Donovan had a couple of hits under his belt, but his music career went into overdrive with the release of "Too Many Broken Hearts" and the mass hysteria that followed his every move in the UK. Jason has been the first to acknowledge it took him a while to warm up as a singer and we hear from engineer Karen Hewitt and long-term PWL session singers Mae McKenna and Miriam Stockley about the crucial role backing vocals played in rounding out the Stock Aitken Waterman sound. A major part of Jason's teen appeal was his image, which was showcased in the music video for "Too Many Broken Hearts". Director Chris Langman and David Howells answer a few questions about the clip. Who was that girl on the tractor and where did the guitar come from? The second song in this episode is the second charity single by Pat & Mick. Another disco cover, "I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet" became the duo's biggest hit. We hear from Mick Brown about the follow-up and, for the first time on the podcast, Pat Sharp shares his memories of being a part-time pop star.Subscribe for bonus material at chartbeats.com.au/sawTwitter: @ChartBeatsAU, @MrMattDenbyInstagram: @chartbeatsauFacebook: Chart Beats: A Journey Through PopEmail: chartbeats.au@gmail.com

Do you feel like you're aging before your time? Do you have wrinkles, gray hair, and low energy?   If so, you're not alone. But there's good news!   According to our guest for this episode of The Hormone Prescription Podcast, Dr. Joy Kong, it's possible to turn back the clock by harnessing the power of stem cells.   Joy Kong, M.D. is a UCLA-trained, triple board-certified physician (American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology, American Board of Addiction Medicine, American Board of Anti- Aging & Regenerative Medicine). She is the president of Uplyft Longevity Center in Los Angeles, California, where she specializes in stem cell therapy, ketamine therapy, as well as a wide range of therapeutic modalities to improve patients' overall health by enhancing their body's innate regenerative potentials.   Dr. Kong shares in this podcast episode her groundbreaking research on how stem cells can be used to regenerate tissue, improve hormone function, and reverse the effects of aging. She also provides practical tips on how midlife women can take advantage of this exciting new technology.   In this episode, you'll learn: What are stem cells, and how do they work? How stem cells can be used to regenerate tissue, improve hormone function, and reverse the effects of aging How to use stem cells for health and longevity The latest research on stem cells and aging Skin care products from stem cells   So if you're ready to feel younger, more vibrant, and full of life, this is the episode for you!   Tune in now and learn how to harness the power of stem cells to regrow your parts, heal your hormones, and reverse aging.   (00:00): Do you ever wonder what all the buzz is about stem cell therapy and if it might be for you or not? My gift today, Dr. Joy Kong is gonna help you understand the benefits of stem cell therapy. And if this is right for you, stay tuned.   (00:16): So the big question is how do women over 40, like us keep weight off, have great energy balance. Our hormones in our moods feel sexy and confident and master midlife. If you're like most of us, you are not getting the answers you need and remain confused and pretty hopeless to ever feel like yourself. Again. As an OB GYN, I had to discover for myself the truth about what creates a rock, solid metabolism, lasting weight loss, and supercharged energy. After 40 in order to lose a hundred pounds and fix my fatigue. Now I'm on a mission. This podcast is designed to share the natural tools you need for impactful results. And to give you clarity on the answers to your midlife metabolism challenges, join me for tangible natural strategies to crush the hormone imbalances you are facing and help you get unstuck from the sidelines of life. My name is Dr. Kyrin Dunston welcome to the hormone prescription podcast.   (01:10): Hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the hormone prescription with Dr. Kyrin. Thank you so much for joining me today. I'm excited to dive into the topic of stem cells with you. It's such an important topic. I mean, after all, we wouldn't be here on this planet. If  it weren't for stem cells, we would start as stem cells, right? When the embryo is formed in the uterus from the sperm and egg meat, we are stem cells. And then all of those cells differentiate into the various organs and parts of our body. And we become adult humans, but stem cells still form this reservoir. That's available to us to recreate our bodies' moment to moment, but their number decreases over time. And this is one of the reasons that aging happens. So maybe you've heard about the buzz about stem cells. Maybe you've heard about some controversies.   (02:09): We're gonna dive into that too. What's FDA approved. What's not and why. And we might even give you some ideas or inspiration for how you might want to access and use stem cells for your various health ailments or to achieve your aspirations of becoming fairly immortal, living a long time and being healthy while you do it. I'm gonna tell you a little bit about Dr. Joy and then we'll get started. Dr. Joy Kong is a medical doctor. She's trained at UC a N triple board certified American board of psychiatry and neurology American board of addiction, medicine, American board of antiaging and regenerative medicine. Wow, that's a lot of work. She's the president of the uplift longevity center in Los Angeles, California, where she specializes in stem cell therapy, ketamine therapy, as well as a wide range of therapeutic modalities to improve patients overall health by enhancing their bodies, innate regenerative potentials.   (03:13): She is an avid educator and the founder of the American academy of integrative cell therapy, a a I ct.org, where she trains other physicians on stem cell therapy. And she conducts clinical research on stem cell therapy. And she's a published author in many scientific journals now to provide her patients with the best regenerative medicine products. She founded Cher biologics, where she developed the most potent and comprehensive stem cell product in the country with a patent pending formulation, as well as a 100% natural stem cell cream chair Omni. And we've got a link for you in the show notes with a discount code to get her skin cream. And you wanna get this cream trust because if you could see her face on this podcast, you'd be like, oh my God, her skin is amazing. I want that. She's sending me a bottle and I'm gonna let you know how I do with it.   (04:09): I'm gonna take before and after pictures too. So we can see what happens with my skin. She was recognized for her contribution in the field of regenerative medicine and awarded the top doctor of the year in stem cell therapy in 2019, as well as stem cell doctor of the decade in 2021 by the prestigious I a O T P that's the international association of top professionals. She also has a memoir. She wrote tiger of Beijing and it's garnered tremendous interest. It was named 2020 book of the year and showcased at times square. She was also featured in the 2021 book heroes leaders, legends, the power of the human spirit, along with movers and shakers, such as Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra and Maya angel. You might know a few of them, so we'll help me to welcome Dr. Joy Kong to the podcast.   (04:59): Thank you for inviting me, Kyrin.   (05:01): So happy to have you on today. You can speak about so many topics that I want my listeners to hear about. We're gonna start with stem cells, cuz that's really what you're known for and so passionate about, and you've developed products to help people and really have a unique way at looking at this technology and using it with people. I think that they need to know about, but let's start at with the basics. cause a lot of people have an idea of what stem cells are and they think, you know, it only, they only come from placenta and that that's really a violation and we shouldn't be using them. So can you talk about what stem cells are?   (05:45): Yeah. There's such a wide array of the types of stem cells. You know, in our current, you know, our bodies, we all have a ton of stem cells. Of course, as we get older, we lose more and more, but in each of your tissue, there are organ specific stem cells. But when we go back to the origin, we all came from a fertilized egg. So that was the first quintessential stem cell. And from that one stem cell, you can form a multitude of stem cells and somehow these cells know how to migrate and how to form a three dimensional structure that became eventually the baby. So as the baby's organ started to form, then you get more of more specialized cells. But before these cells, from that single fertilized egg to reach the stage of a tissue specific stem cell, there could be a thousand different variations and they're all stem cells.   (06:37): So in, in this baby, you know, eventually the organs are formed and there are cells that are organ cells, but they're also tissue specific stem cells. I say a liver they're liver stem cells that can form a liver cell. So in our body, throughout our body, we have all these stem cells. So there's, you know, it's like a continuum of this stem cell evolution in the body. And not only we have tissue specific stem cells, there are certain stem cells that are really special. One of the most special one is called Kinal stem cells. So these are cells that are all over your blood vessels. So anywhere you have blood vessel supply, blood supply, you have these cells that are huddling around the blood vessels, waiting for signals from the blood or sensing the signals in the neighbor neighborhood of all these other cells. And, and they're, they have this communication coordination effect that they are able to tell what the local cells should be doing by sensing what's going on in the blood, or they can figure out what's needed in the local tissue and send out signals to the blood.   (07:45): So they have this, you know, like I call them the master of regeneration. So conductor in the symphony of regeneration. So we still have those stem cells in our body. And that's what people are doing with fat deriv stem cells. They're trying to extract fat, but they're really not getting stem cells from fat. They're getting the stem cells that are along the blood vessels, that supplies the fat cells. And then you can U utilize those cells for regeneration. So there's so many different sources. You can get stem cells from Meru blood. You can get stem cells from blood, you know, in the small amount, but you can get it, you know, if on bone marrow. So the embryonic stem cells that, that has controversy mm-hmm was in the beginning that you know, of stem cell research, they thought that's the, the end all be all.   (08:32): And, and that's the, the best source. And they were able to grow they were extracting cells from five to seven day old embryo and utilizing those cells to form any organ, you know, or cells of any tissue type and does involve destroying an embryo, which is where the controversy comes. But we've moved. You, you know, far from that, there's still research done embryonic stem cells, but clinically there's no one in this country, legally that's actually doing embryonic stem cell treatments. They are using a person's own, you know, extracted from your own body or using birth tube, which are biological waste. You know, after the baby is born, they, you know, usually they will discard the placenta and the Bual cord. But now we know that they have incredibly powerful regenerative cells in these tissues. And that's what a lot of doctors use and that's what I use.   (09:32): And I believe that's a superior source, which is why I've lectured on the subject in various stem cell conferences. And I put my lecture online is called, are all MSCs created equal. So even when you're looking at mechy stem cells, they're not really the same whether or not it's from an adult source, from the bone marrow, from the fat or from the birth tissue, even within different birth tissue compartments, the cells are all a little different. They have different potentials to become different types of cells. They have different growth factors they secret. So there's vast amount of difference, even though they're all messing Al stem cells, right. The cells that are Hulings. So there's huge variations, you know, of what's going on out there.   (10:17): Okay. So thank you for clarifying that no fetuses were harmed in the making of the stem cells that Dr.Kong is talking about. Okay. So everybody can relax. So autologous from yourself, right. Stem cells. So getting harvesting them from your body, you mentioned menstrual blood. I know some women out there are gonna be Googling that in five seconds, looking up, how do I get stem cells out of my menstrual blood to use it? Is that really something that's used in clinical practice?   (10:46): Not much in this country, but I think overseas, there may be some clinics that are using it. Yeah.   (10:51): Okay. Just curious, because I hadn't heard that, but I know you can get cord blood, babies, cord blood banked to save the cells for later use if you want it for your child. That's something that was big back when I delivered babies, which has been a long time since I did that. So these stem cells, makeable stem cells. What can you use them for, for, in terms of healing in the body? What kind of applications?   (11:20): Yeah. So first of all, of course, you know, as well as I do that, no claims can be made if there's no FDA indication. So the only FDA indication for stem cell therapy is for Buco blood or bone marrow derived stem cells for chemo reconstitution. So basically replacing your blood system, regenerating white blood cells, red blood cells, the whole blood system, that's the only FDA indication everything else will be off-label use. So there's no direct FDA indication. However, research has been extremely active all around the world, which is why I put together the course for American academy of integrative cell therapy. So for interested is a, a I ct.org on there. I have a lot of articles listed of, for different conditions, clinical excerpts. I have, you know, hundreds of articles that I share with doctors when they take the training, they're all categorized by organ systems and disease categories like over 30 categories within each category.   (12:24): They're, you know, they could be 10 subcategories. So it's very extensive. And they're also some case studies of people who that have been treated that have gotten great results. So while I cannot make any claims, I can't speak from my own clinical experience cause I'm really excited for how well my patients did, but I also am willing to share, you know, research results of you know, all these different conditions. If you look at research from cardiovascular system issues, atherosclerosis, congestive heart failure, different kidney diseases, liver cirrhosis, you know, central nervous system conditions, autism, and C O P D you know, different lung fibrotic conditions, all kinds of autoimmune diseases. And it's you know, powerful evidence on all kinds of autoimmune issues. And even including things like eye conditions, years, you know, hearing pretty much, you know, like most organ systems are covered.   (13:23): So there has been really great results. And even for just general anti-inflammation, they have shown to reduce inflammatory markers and also improve the markers of aging, such as hair, skin, energy level sex drive, and then showing anti-aging benefits when these animals, so animal studies were done where these animals were given older animals, given regular IV treatment. And with the, the IV stem cell treatment, these animals showed that in their brain and their muscles, the neurotropic factors, you know, the neurotransmitter levels, the growth factor release, inflammatory markers, everything was reverted back to younger state. So there's powerful, anti-aging benefits. So basically as we age, we're losing more and more stem cells, just, you know, a number when we were born, every one in 10,000 cells is a mess. Kinal stem cell, right? They're everywhere. And when we reach our teenage years, it's already one in a hundred thousand.   (14:28): So you got tenfold less as far as you know, the ratio. And then when you reach your forties, it becomes one in 400,000. And when you reach your eighties is one in 2 million. So this is why we are getting wrinkles. We're, you know, we're starting to decline in our immune system. We're getting more cancers is because your body can't keep up. It cannot regenerate, you know, wear and tear disease, osteoarthritis, you know, we are wearing and tearing our tissue so much more when we're little kids, but it's fixed right up. You don't get osteoarthritis, but when you are older, old injuries, your body, all of a sudden just can't keep up anymore. It just can't give you enough replacement to regenerate. And then you get lots of weight and pains. So we are running outta stem cells. And that's why I'm such an advocate of using these stem cell therapy to replace what's lost.   (15:23): So all this regenerative, this powerful life force that's doodling. As we age, now we can replace it so we can give body the signals. It used to receive just like what you do with hormone replacement, all these important signals that start to get less and less. You replace the signal. All of a sudden you can bring yourself way ahead, right. Of how you were doing because your body was starving of these signals. So these cells have, you know, huge array of signaling capacities. And, you know, like for example, I just gave you a quick rundown of the kind of capability these cells have, first of all, hugely anti-inflammatory they? So rather than a single hormone, right? These are life cells. They're able to secrete lots of different factors, cytokines that can reduce inflammation. Mm-Hmm they also have anti-fibrotic properties. So they can molecules that can break down scar tissue.   (16:22): They also have immune modulating properties. So they can shift immune system from more inflammatory to a more anti-inflammatory state. They have angio properties because they can sense signals to help your blood vessel, to form more blood vessels and supply more nutrients. And, you know, like blood exchange. And they also have direct antimicrobial properties. They actually secret antimicrobial peptides. They have anti-cancer properties that has been shown, and it has been used in research for cancer treatments and showing great results. And it also have what's called anti apoptotic property. So it prevents program cell death when tissues are injured, just like when we see in stroke, you may have the area that the blood supplies cut off and that's where the cells die. But the neighboring cells start to die as well is because of the signaling cascade. That's triggering the apoptosis program, cell death, and that's where the cells can come in and abort those processes. So it can stop these cells from going on these death path. So there's all this wide array of actions and that's why is so exciting. And, and that's why it's such an elegant treatment. It can help so many things in the cell, right. Also have the ability to define their way , but let's   (17:43): Back up for a second. Cause I do wanna dive into certain applications that I think people will be most interested in, or people have talked to me about in the past. But before we do that, you mentioned the only FDA claims are allowed for bone marrow and cord blood kind of rebuilding of the blood system, usually after cancer, after it's eradicated for blood cancers. So what if the FDA doesn't allow any indications? Not for intravenous, not for focal use, what are people actually using it in clinical practice for, in America right now? Okay. So   (18:26): This is where we come to the 2017 policy from the FDA where they were there's concern. These products can be used and they're very, you know, they're holistic products, their natural products, and the FDA wanted to regulate the me drugs, right? So one sided argument is that these are not drugs. These are tissue transplantations, you know, not that different from transplanting organs or blood. So the FDA decided, okay, if you do not change the cells by putting in all kinds of chemicals, enzymes, you're not basically changing the characters of the cells and you're not growing them into huge numbers. We're gonna allow you to use them as tissue transplant. We're not gonna categorize 'em as drugs. So we don't require, we don't have the same standards, right? We don't require you to do medical studies and get clinical approval. So that's what we're using. We're using the message tissue transplant. So as physicians, we can provide tissue transplantation, right? That's part of what we can do. So just like grafting, you know, a piece of you know, artery, you know, when we do, you know, grafting, we can put it from one person to another person bone grafting. So this is all part of what physician can can do. And that's what a lot of doctors are operating under.   (19:44): And so you can use those intravenously or locally, like intra particular in a joint,   (19:50): Local tissue injections. That's where there's least least concerns from the FDA. I don't think they liked the idea of intravenous treatments because somehow, you know, that they didn't like the idea of a systemic effect, even though everything would put in the body has a systemic effect. You can put something in a joint, it was still have a systemic effect. So I don't know where that policy came from, but you know, that's what their concerns are. So there are doctors who are doing intravenous therapy because of the vast amount of research showing incredible safety and then also efficacy. So from the clinical studies, the key is no claims should be made because if you are doing intravenous, that's considered, you know, more toward drug route. If that's the case, you know, then no claim should be made, right? It's an experimental procedure. So you inform people properly that there has been no FDA approval and this experimental and you understand the risks and benefits and alternatives. So that's how doctors are doing it is by giving proper consent and telling people that there's no guarantee of, of effect. Although there can be research that you can educate the patients on, okay, this condition, look at all these research results, but you know, still no claims can be made   (21:11): Well. And, and what's true for a lot of the medications and treatments that we use in medicine. They're not FDA-approved I mean, if you look at when I practiced obstetrics, we used to give something called Turine for what we call lysis. If women went into premature labor, that's not FDA approved for stopping labor, but we used it for that. So we use lots of things in medication. I want everybody listening to understand that this doesn't mean this is illegal. It doesn't mean that it's anything nefarious. It just means that they've said we don't regulate this , and it's out of their jurisdiction. And so we use lots of what we call off-label. Okay. So now we've gotten that out of the way   (21:57): Of medications used that theirs are actually, off-label used yes. In math practice, 80%, like vast majority are not FDA approved, but that's what doctors have decided to be helpful. And that has become a standard. And then everybody do it, right?   (22:13): So if the research shows it, if you, if you wait till the FDA approves it, you could be waiting forever, and you know, life is short. So you need to get some help now. And stem cells are pretty amazing. So can we talk about maybe how you are using it in your practice? What are some specific applications that you're finding the best results with? And if you wanna touch on the research too, that would be great.   (22:42): Yeah. So first of all, of course, musculoskeletal issues, you know, I do local injections into joints, into soft tissue. So that has been really, really helpful for anything. So like   (22:56): Your arthritis, if someone's told they need a knee replacement you're rebuilding cartilage?   (23:01): Yeah, my first patient, he was 69 years old. And he was told by two orthopedic surgeons that he absolutely needed bilateral knee replacement. So he wanted to try stem cells as a last ditch resort. So because of how large the knee joint is, the way that the cartilage is nourished, the inner two-thirds, the cartilage nourished by the sono fluid in the joint capsule. But the outer one-third is nourished by the blood supply. So it's better to attack from both angles. Of course, we know that, you know, by replacing stem cells, the stem cells do interact with the immune system, help boost the immune system. So there's like all these other effects, but, but we're targeting both ants for the, for the knee. And what's interesting was, so this is six years later, he's going to all kinds of trade shows. He's never had an operation.   (23:49): He's walking four miles every day, barely feels his knees. And what's really fascinating was the next day after the treatment. He said, you know, I slept through the night and I haven't been able to sleep through the night for decades because I had a rotator cuff tear when I was a, you know, late teens and when my car rolled over. So it never fully healed. Every time I shift in my bed, I wake up from the sharp pain. So he slept through the night. It, that huge anti-inflammatory effect. I didn't even know about his shoulder. He never told me about it. So that just shows you that this is why it's so exciting, right? The cells have intelligence. And if there's screaming inflammation in his rotator cuff and the cells, you know, they're attracted to those signals mm-hmm and they went there and they helped him fix it. So this is, you know, he's, he's great. He's doing fantastic. That was my first case. Of course, I'm gonna be hooked .   (24:41): And so he received these stem cells intravenously and in the joint, in the knee joint, both as you were attacking it, both sides and then voila, this shoulder injury that he had. And can you talk a little bit about the data on knees and joints? Because I think it's pretty impressive.   (25:01): Yeah. Yeah. Well, one of the studies really fun, such an interesting study because they use people who have bilateral knee basic osteonecrosis. So, both knees are really are rotting basically because of steroid. So these people supposedly need bilateral knee replacement. So what they did was that they divide these 30 people like midline, one knee received, knee replacement, the other knee, they give them stem cell injections. And what's fascinating was this is, I think, about 12 years study. So in the end, what happened was out of all the knees that were replaced, six needed revision surgery. So 30 needs, right, 30 patients, 30 needs were replaced six out of those needed revision surgery because they weren't doing too well out of the 30 needs that got stem cell injections, only one ever needed replacement. So that's a powerful statistic. Yeah,   (26:01): It's phenomenal. And I know some people are listening, then they're Googling, where can I get this done? But I guess, can you talk a little bit about, for instance, a knee injection, what's the cost for stem cell therapy for something like that.   (26:16): So for mild to moderate condition, it costs about $4,000 for severe, you know, cuz we need more product to be used and they are expensive. It costs $7,000 at my clinic, but I do tend to use the IV route, especially when a person's over the age, 55 or so because they just, they, they have lagging regenerative capabilities. So I do tend to add the IV treatment, which has been to have, you know, tremendous anti-aging benefits, but also it's gonna amplify the results. The more products that's used, the more expensive it gets. So the range is between, I'll say when people come to my clinic, the range is 7,000 to $15,000. That's how much it usually costs.   (27:00): And the reason I asked that question is because I always try to do the interview from the viewpoint of my listener. And I know that's what they're wondering, but what I wanna say as a consumer, that that's really the wrong question to ask   (27:17): Right. Everybody wants to know when they hear what I do when they hear what Dr. Joy does, does my insurance cover it? How much does it cost? And the answer is no, your insurance doesn't cover it cuz they're not interested in you being optimally healthy. They're not interested in you necessarily avoiding a joint replacement. And I've talked about that on other podcasts, how really the churn and burn of our medical system is profiting off of your illness. So only you have are the one to take the vested interest and say, yeah, instead of going on this vacation or buying this fancier car, I would rather avoid surgery for various reasons and invest it in my health for whether it's natural hormone replacement therapy or stem cell therapy are all of these tools that I teach you about on the podcast that most of you get the value of. And so that's why I asked that question is cause I wanted to, to bring it up and just to, as a marketer, remind everyone to question why you have the beliefs that you have and why you think the thoughts that you do cause ultimately the quality of your health will be determined by the quality of questions that you ask about your health and how much does it cost is not an empowering question.   (28:32): Such a great, but that   (28:34): Yes. Okay. So knees, now I know you've developed this a skincare line. I wish y'all could see her skin. It's absolutely gorgeous. Can you talk about your stem cell based skincare line and kind of what's the story behind how you developed that?   (28:51): Okay. Being in the antiaging field, of course we're getting educated on what we put on our body, what we ingest, you know, just, you know, the whole aspect. So skincare products, household, you know, cleaning products, I mean, and all these can have huge effect on, you know, hormone disruption and just all kinds of toxicity. So when I realized what was, you know, all these cosmetic products and I thought this was really scary, you know, I really don't want to put all these chemicals on my skin, which is the most absorbent organ in the body. So I thought, okay, let me find a natural cream, all natural cream. So I would spend a lot of money buying some Korean cream and they said, it's all natural. But then when I actually looked at the ingredients after using it for a while, I was like, what's this?   (29:37): And what's that, oh my God, you know, that's, that's not all natural. So I, I was like, okay, now I need to find true all natural product, go to natural expos and getting some samples. And then I'll leave in my drawer for like a month or two, by the time I was ready to try them out and they're separated into different layers. I thought, you know, these people know how to make a cream. You know, that's when I was so frustrated and I was like, you know what? I have access to stem cells to peptides and I can design my own cream. So why don't I just make an amazing cream, you know, first of all, for myself, cuz I don't have one, I need one. And then after I make it, I can share it with everybody else. So that's really how it came about.   (30:16): It just, it was frustrating to find a decent cream. So I make sure it's a hundred percent natural. Even the preservative is a hundred percent is a natural preservative because I refuse to and use any synthetic, even if it means extending the life sh the shelf life of the product. So it has, you know, a big component of a stem cell from the political cord and they're not not alive. You know, I'm not claiming that there are any life cells because it it's, it's impossible to keep the cells alive, but they do have all these regenerative signaling molecules that are still in, you know, in them. And they're still, you know, they're well preserved so that once you put on the skin, they can give your skin the right signals. And I also put all these different peptides that are known for skin regeneration, you know, for anti-inflammatory actions, you know, reducing wrinkles, improving collagen production. And then I put in, you know, all these incredible natural oils, natural oils can be hugely powerful. And then all these different, interesting herbal extracts that have, you know, anti pigmentation properties and, you know, sun protection properties, just incredible skin, regenerative properties and then antioxidants and pre prebiotics. So that's the, the whole formula. It just, I'm very proud of it because it's just, it's impossible to find something like that on the market. That's a true a hundred percent natural product.   (31:41): It is so true. And all my ladies, like in my gut detox program, they're always, what can I use? What can I use? And you know, I'll recommend something and we'll research it and then, oh, by the way, it's got this chemical in it. And oh, by the way, it's got that chemical and everybody listening. Dr. Joy told me before we started recording that she's gonna give everyone a special code to get a discount on her product. So we'll have that in the show notes for you and a link so you can check them out. I haven't tried them, but I am super excited to do so. And I will do that. And then I'll report back to everyone, to all my listeners about them,   (32:20): Do it before and after picture, you know, for themselves, you seriously and no cheating, you know, same lighting, same spots, same time of day. We have, you know, doctors who are stock expensive products in our office, you know, European products, you know, Korean product, you know, they're phasing them out because they love this cream so much, you know, estheticians were really experienced who have seen everything on the market. They absolutely love this product. So I'm really proud of   (32:44): It. Yes, you should be. It sounds amazing. And I'm just wondering, there's all kinds of data with, you know, my thing is hormones and just using natural hormone therapy and decreased number depth and size of wrinkles, decrease skin sagging. Right? All of the data on how it improves the quality of our skin. Also our hair and nails.   (33:07): I've definitely seen it in people who are using the cream. I mean, you know, stem cells have been used for as far as for wound repair, you know, it's hugely powerful and I've seen people who have you know, within a couple weeks, you know, two, three weeks the reduction in fine wrinkles. So there's, you know, pretty rapid, you know, regenerative properties. Mm-Hmm, decreased pigmentation and, and some have people with with lesions falling off. So it definitely is very, yeah, very powerful. So a lot of it is through injection, but you can, you know, inject and I do that with wound care. I can inject along the rim of the wound and that just is so, so incredible, you know, getting the wound to close, but topically, it can because we have a, you know, an ingredient to help with deep penetration of mm-hmm the molecules. This is why you don't need a separate toner, a serum, you know, eye cream moisturizer. You don't need, you don't need a whole, you know, line of product. You just need this one because it's deep penetrating. You don't need to use those tricks to get the product, to get deeper into your skin.   (34:21): Yeah. I think most people think that their skin is solid, but it's really porous and permeable. And anything you put on your skin goes through your bloodstream and goes to the deeper layers and really is very accessible to the rest of your system. So let's, I wanna talk about heart disease. And also if you can autoimmune disease, you mentioned it earlier that there are really a lot of FDA indication, well, not FDA indications, but studies that have been done that show that there's improvement with these types of disorders. Can you talk a little bit about the use of stem cells for those things?   (35:01): Yeah. For heart disease, they've shown for like an atherosclerosis decreas in plaque size at the aortic root. So they actually dissected the vessel and, and show an imaging and how the macrophages aggregation, you know, was changing. You know, how there's just much, much less plaque that's in the blood vessels. And it has been shown to improve ejection fraction in people with heart failure or people who have myocardio infarction. So heart attack also helped to regain cardiac function and repair the cardiac tissue and breaking down scar tissue. So, you know, when we have heart attack and, you know, we have debt tissue and scarring tissue. So because the antifibrotic properties of the cells, they can help break down scar tissue and form new tissue. So it's pretty impressive.   (35:51): Okay. And this would be with an intravenous application.   (35:54): Yeah. So the studies have done either intravenous or intra intra cardio injections, so they can okay. Inject into PE pericardium or into the heart, you know, muscle self, so different types of injections, but they have all shown really good results.   (36:10): Awesome. The name of the prescription is the hormone. The name of the podcast is the hormone prescription. So I always try to tie everything into hormones. How does this affect hormones? You mentioned about the cytokines and the growth factors that come along with these stem cells, the signaling molecules. And so can you talk a little bit about how this interacts? Yes,   (36:32): Actually it's fascinating. You know, cause one of the sections I cover in my horse is reproductive health and they've done studies on animals like menopausal rats or just aging animals and giving them stem cells, younger stem cells, they showed in increase in ovary size, increase in number of follicles, increase in estrogen levels and decrease in FSH and LH. Right. so that's all good sign and the increase in number of pregnancies. So that's pretty powerful evidence that it actually enhances hormone levels and improve re reproductive health.   (37:14): Yes. That's amazing. Yeah. I mean stem cells and growth factors and all these things you're talking about affect everything. And like you mentioned earlier, it's, anti-aging it reverses aging. There are some things you can do without the use of stem cells to improve all of these parameters. Aren't there. What kinds of are there things I know some people are wondering, I don't want stem cells, Kyrin, but I'm wondering, are there other things I can do?   (37:42): well, healthy practices. Of course, you know, you want to eat very healthy and do exercise and make sure you detox, get the toxins out of your body, maybe through saunas and you know, Inre sauna or, you know, other supplements. I mean, all those are really, you know, wonderful ways. There's so many hacks where we're like at a biohacking blossom right now, it can be dizzying, you know, seeing all the things you can do, but I still don't believe there's anything that can replace the power of life itself. I'm giving life. You know, when I inject these stem stem cells into the body, I'm injecting the origin of life, right? The early, early life. And what is in those cells, the first stem cell, the fertilized egg, how does it know to form an entire human being? This is an incredible miraculous feat.   (38:39): How does it know? So what kind of incredible intelligence is in that cell is embedded in that DNA, right? So I'm transplanting just maybe part of that intelligence because as the cells get older and older, you lose more and more of that kind of intelligence, but I'm giving early cells and they still contain a lot of that intelligence. What's really cool is that the stem cells, the me Kinal stem cells from these birth tissue, they're actually in between embryonic stem cells, as far as how primitive and powerful they are embryonic stem cells and the stem cells in the baby. When these cells, when, when these Al cord and placenta, when they were formed, a lot of these young cells were trapped during the embryogenesis. So they are keeping a lot of their early characteristics. This is why it's. So, you know, it is so powerful because they, you know, they're kind of a part embryo stem cells, but they don't have the problem. The embryonic stem cells, which is OMA formation, right? Uncontrolled growth. They don't have the drawbacks of the embryonic stem cells, but they carry a lot of powers of the embryonic stem cells.   (39:48): You know, I love that. You said what you said the way you said it, because I'm thinking again from the listener, they're thinking, oh, I don't wanna do all that. But they do the same thing with hormone therapy, joy. They go, no, I wanna do menopause naturally. Right. And I always like to say, no woman ever said, I'm gonna do osteoporosis naturally. my daughter. Dr. Told me I have osteoporosis and I'm just gonna do it naturally. I'm just gonna take some calcium and vitamin D no, they're like, oh my gosh, I'll be at risk for hip fracture. I could die from that. I could become incapacitated where I can't a emulate or live independently. I want, and they want treatment for it. Right. Women come to menopause and they're like, yeah, I'm gonna do it naturally. It's a natural phase of life. I'm not gonna do anything.   (40:34): And I go, that's fine. As long as you're educated about the consequences of that choice, mm-hmm right. You know, and the fact that neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are reduced by 79% and women who use hormone therapy for at least six years. Well, do you wanna reduce risk of getting Alzheimer's they go? Yeah. Well then hormone therapy would be a part of that macular degeneration. The number one cause of blindness in women who are 65 reduced with hormone therapy. And it's the same, like you just said, there's nothing that will replace stem cells. Nothing. If you really care about your health to the most degree, like if you ask most women in terms of your values, what do you care about? Most they say, oh my health. But then you ask them to categorize where they spend their time and their money and the health is on the bottom. So you gotta have this value shift and all this to say that, you know, I heard what you said, and I totally agree with you. There's really nothing that stem cells, there's no replacement for them. Just like, they're no replacement for hormones.   (41:40): Love that. So thank you for all   (41:41): That in perspective. Yeah. , it's brilliant with, you know, shifting that people's perceptions cuz they say one thing and then they're actually to   (41:50): Another another.   (41:51): So if you put it that way, you know, do you wanna do osteoporosis naturally? I mean that's a whole that's yeah. That's brilliant because people, they don't realize that's what they're doing.   (42:01): Well, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful information. I know you are passionate about ketamine therapy too. I'm gonna direct everyone to your website cuz we're already been going quite long, but they wanna find out more. We will have links to Dr. Joy's website. We'll have a link to her skincare products and a code for our discount. If you wanna use that, any other links that you would like us to put in the show notes? Dr. Joy.   (42:24): Yeah. So my YouTube channel just joy Kong MD. I have a lot of educational videos there. So people wanna dive deeper into different aspects of stem cells. I talked about five common mistakes that doctors make when they do stem cell therapy. I talk about what happens when other people's DNA are in your body. What does it really mean? Is that something to be alarmed about? You know, what are the three stages healing of stem cell therapy and you know, and what about treatment is in Panama? What's the difference? Are they better? So I go into all these specific questions that people have and I really try to, to, to get people a perspective because just not enough information is out there. Well, a lot of confusing information, but not a clear guidance for people.   (43:10): Yes. Wow. That's amazing. So much, so many resources that you have for people and they can seek treatment with you locally in LA. Is that correct?   (43:20): Yeah. So I'm in yeah, Los Angeles area, my clinics uplift longevity center. So we, I do have people who fly from all over the country and around the world to, to come to our clinic. Okay.   (43:30): So we'll have a link for that. Also all the links in the show notes, everyone. Thank you, Dr. Joy for coming and sharing your wisdom, your passion, your expertise, and really awakening to us to what's possible with stem cells. Thank you for doing,   (43:47): Yeah, we don't have to age and decline, you know, like I was joking with my, you know, my friends, but yeah, what we want is to be vibrant, vibrant, happy, vibrant. And then we're gone. That's the way we go.   (43:59): I literally, you're a walking billboard for that. I'm like she's must have been in medicine for as long, almost as long as I Haven. And she looks like she's 20. So stem cells. Yeah. I think that's where it's at   (44:15): With, with you. I have been doing IV stem cells on myself every three months for the fat past six years. You know, I don't because I'm usually, I'm already very healthy. You know, I take good care of myself, so I don't notice the difference. But other people, when people who don't see me every day, they notice it. They were telling me I'm looking younger and younger and this, you know, I was like, wow, really? Cuz I can't tell by looking myself every day, but I can tell now that Facebook keep reminding me of these happy anniversaries, you know, look at you seven years ago, they think I was gonna be happy because I was younger. And I was looking at is like, oh my God, I was aging. I didn't even know. So only now I have, you know, kind of reversed. It it's much easier to post a picture cuz I don't need to mess with it. You know, I look fine before. I was like, no, it's the lighting. It's a problem. So I was always trying to make myself look better and I still didn't look that great because you know you anyhow. So I was blaming the lighting, but now you're   (45:12): Blaming the lighting. It's not lighting y'all let's say you don't have enough stem cells. so now everybody's gonna have to go stalk your YouTube. Yes. They'll get educated, but they wanna see you aging in reverse, including me just TBH. I gotta be honest, but thank you so much for joining me and thank you for listening today.

If you recently gotten back in school, you've probably been accused of being different since you've taken on the new audacious goal. Well, today's episode "I Haven't Changed, or Your Perception?" is just for you. In today's episode, we tackle how to approach the naysayers and how to handle the judgement that comes with becoming a professional student. Look, you don't want to miss this one.  Let's dive in!

Silkie's is located in Historic Springfield area of Jacksonville - Biscuits, fried chicken, and champagne Spice blend line available on Amazon - 5 spices in a gift set with recipe cards Launching new sauce line in January/Feb of 2022 Why Champagne and Chicken? Did an event in South Beach food and wine festival called Chicken Coop which was fried chicken and champagne. Everyone loved the food they made and wife suggested bringing it back to Jacksonville Closed original southern barbecue restaurants in anticipation of a move Quarantine opened the opportunity to open the concept Cooks for Oprah Winfrey since 2014 Named after a beautiful chicken called a Silky Talked about beating Bobby Flay on the show Beat Bobby Flay. Challenged him with Chicken and Dumplings. Discussed how he got to cooking for Oprah and other accolades: "Whatever your goals are professionally, you don't look for 'i want to cook for these people' you look for 'hey I want to be the best I can be in my profession.'"- Kenny Gilbert "Every chef is an artist" - Kenny Gilbert Mom's recipe was traditional and great Transcript 00:00.00 vigorbranding Hey everyone today I'm joined by my friend chef Kenny Gilbert of silkie's chicken champagne bar and chef kenny brands ah Kenny won't you give everyone a little bit of backstory and say hello. 00:10.20 Chef Kenny Well, thanks for having me um, gosh I've been in the business for the better part of thirty plus years professionally I've run everything from fine dining ah restaurants to luxury brand. You know if I Haven and foster our hotels. Um, you know been a corporate chef for restaurant group worked in the caribbean did a little bit of everything I currently have a restaurant in Jacksonville Florida. It's called silky's chicken and champagne bar. We're located in Historic Springfield area of Jacksonville. We've been open exactly a year we're focused on biscuits and fried chicken and champagne and all in between um, cool little fast casual kind of a upscale fast casual concept counter service where best basic guests can walk in. We don't take reservations. You just walk in place an order. With the cashier. We give you a number you you know you get your drink immediately and then sit down and we deliver your food and we're hands off. We've kind of opened this concept based on having you know what? all the everything that's going on with covid and whatnot an uncertainty. We wanted to have something that was a you know, low overhead. Um, that still was able to put out a quality product. So we've been doing that and it's been very well received and I also have chef Kenny brands. Um, which we have ah a lot of different things rolled up into that but we have ah I have my spice blends that I sell on Amazon. As well as my website http://chefkinnyilbert.com we have 5 spices that we feature and they come with in the gift set. It comes with recipe cards and a nice little gift box. You can also buy individually and buy bulk by way of the website. Um. So I've been doing that for a long time and we're getting ready to launch our so sauce line as well. That's should be coming out by the end of January in yeah, that's about it or home. 02:09.57 vigorbranding So so you're so you're not busy at all, you're you're just kind of bored. Um, no, that's great. So we'll get into the the retail line in a minute but I wanted to dig into first. The inspiration between combining fried chicken this like southern classic staple. With champagne and I presume sparkling wine I presume you're not a champagne purist. Maybe you are though? Um, so what's the inspiration behind that how did that come to be is that a I don't know a cultural thing or is it just like hey I love champagne I love chicken they go well together I because the sweet and the salty do go well together. 02:

As we are still digesting the wildly successful Flogoween season, we thought it best that the team (Ben) put their (his) feet up and take the rest of the year off. This would allow us (Ben) to immerse ourselves (himself) in the festive season fully, spend more time listening to the many other great indie podcasts (FilmFloggers) and bask in the glory of releasing 31 Horror films during the 31 days of October. So there's only one thing left to say, Happy...12 days of Flogmas.Ben's Mother returns...Just in time for Christmas. Festive topics discussed during the episode include:Ben wears his cu*t heart on his sleeve. Anyone buying the whole 'Ben scarifies himself for the fans' spiel? Should I talk in the 1st or 3rd person? Whatever makes me sound more important, I guess. It might be worth skipping the first 7-8 minutes of this episode. Or altogether. I wish I had. Who's bright idea was it for me to be part of this episode in a producer role? Dan Machholz, dick. We reminisce about GameFloggers. No stalkers for my anonymous Mother, please. No photos. Ryan Reynolds, stalk away. My Mother has the privilege of witnessing Fiona butcher names in the flesh. What was the name of the 31 films thing we did again? I LOVE RED NOTICE. I HAVEN'T STOP LAUGHING SINCE.Anna Faris has had her fair share of duds. Apparently, Eliza Cuthbert is really, really annoying in 24. I bet Kiefer Sutherland hated every second of it. My Mothers big bottom causes some problems.  Is having the Aural exciter toggled on enough to get Ben excited?Who hopes Ben and this podcast make it to 2022? Is grinding your teeth against your mic the answer to better sound quality? Ben takes great pride in labelling himself a ferocious womaniser in front of his Mother and ex Girlfriend. Joyce! "What ham did you slap, honey? Not the one I just bought."I beg Fiona to stop singing. Ben just loves bumping into the so-called popular blobs; sorry, kids from school. Would anyone want to watch The Hot Chick?It's not wrong for my Mother to like bad films; it's just not right either. My Mother drags up the painful memories of Christmas 2018 for all the world to hear. Ben goes crazy talking about the CGI present in Red Notice. That's what the world needs right now, The Rock and Ryan Reynolds joining forces. Gin and Tequilla for everyone. Covid's vanquished! Ben just loves a practical hairnet. Is there a reason why Fiona and I aren't as popular as Ryan and Blake Lively? Is it the Trivia? We all can't hear that background noise. Ben doesn't rise to it. Ben enjoys hearing about my Mothers and ex GF's dinner plans with the two Ryan's and Bradley CooperAre you rooting for Jack Black and Kate Winslet? Why is Fiona obsessed with singing terribly over already terrible songs?FilmFloggers Episodes - https://t.co/uHw3yuylDr?amp=1Do you want The Sopranos redefined for you?
