In Greg's first episode in his 40s, we talk about our experience at The Conover Killings. We break it all down from the drive up into the parking lot (it makes sense once you listen) to the entire walk through. We give our keeps and kills and also text Rob from The Conover Killings mid-recording because Alex HAD to know the name of the wandering dog that hangs out with the customers. We give our love to Johnathan's skill of being everywhere at once as well as the final actor in the haunt. Give this one a listen and then get over to The Conover Killings for their final weekend of the 2024 season! To reserve your time slot, call or text 757-817-2517https://theconoverkillings.com/ (https://theconoverkillings.com/)https://www.instagram.com/theconoverkillings?igsh=MWRtbWhpa28xNjJobg== (https://www.instagram.com/theconoverkillings?igsh=MWRtbWhpa28xNjJobg==)

In this episode of Faust in Wonderland, "Faust, Kafka, and Stuart Little Walk Into A Bar!" we take both a darker and lighter look at mental health. In "Greg's Changed" written by Fauster Joan Lopate, we revisit Kafka's “Metamorphosis” where a family is thrown into crisis because, seemingly overnight, a member has become unrecognizable, alien to those who were once close to him. Gregor Samsa's transformation is so bizarre that his family callously rejects and ultimately abandons him. In the Fausters' update to this story, the parallels between Kafka's 19th century Czech family and a modern American one suggests that family dysfunction is not unique to place and time. With "Emotional Baggage" written by Faust member Celia Bressack, we meet Gabby and Phil, two lovelorn NYC daters who've had their hearts kicked around. They meet for coffee, and while sharing and comparing their neuroses, both are haunted by the voices of their exes. Will they learn to tune them out and find true love?

This week the team at The HPS Podcast are taking a mid-semester break!To celebrate we are reposting one of our favourite episodes from Season 1 featuring Professor Greg Radick, a leading historian of biology at the University of Leeds.In the podcast Greg discusses the use of counterfactuals in history of science - the term we use for asking ‘What if?' questions about history - and their potential to subvert our conventional thinking. In Greg's research, a central counterfactual question is: “What might biology be like now if a different side had triumphed in early debates on genetics?”For example, might we be a little less deterministic about genetic inheritance and a little more embracing of contextual effects on human development?By asking such seemingly simple ‘what if' questions, fruitful new lines of investigation and alternative perspectives can open up.A transcript of the interview can be found here: https://www.hpsunimelb.org/post/episode-5-transcriptRelated linksProfile: Professor Gregory Radick | University of LeedsWebsite: Gregory Radick | Personal SiteBook: Disputed Inheritance: The Battle over Mendel and the Future of Biology Article: Teach students the biology of their time | Nature Thanks for listening to The HPS Podcast with your current hosts, Samara Greenwood and Carmelina Contarino.You can find more about us on our blog, website, bluesky, twitter, instagram and facebook feeds.

In a twist on our history episodes, Greg and Ed revisit the devastating tsunami of 2004. Greg begins with a thorough summary of the event, which begins with an absolutely massive earthquake off the coast of Sumatra that caused a rift and shift on the ocean, creating immense waves that would affect multiple continents. Reverberations were felt as far away as the state of Oklahoma. The devastating results eventually took the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Southeast Asia.  Greg and Ed recount their memories. In Greg's case, he had just flown out of Thailand to Amsterdam and learned of the tsunami after he touched down. He relates how he was glued to the TV and as the horrific death toll numbers climbed and climbed. For Ed, he was in Bangkok and actually tried to go to work the morning of the event, only to find that his office had been closed due to a countrywide shutdown. He did manage to feel an aftershock while in his office tower though. The guys discuss the total shock felt by the entire country of Thailand, and all the positive vibes that the Thai people gave to all the foreigners affected by the tragic act of nature.  Greg then talks with listener Hugh Van Es , who has written a short book about his devastating search for a friend lost in the waves called Hell in Paradise. His first-person account of Phuket after the disaster is a sobering account of just how big an event it was, and how - even 20 years later - it seems that everyone knows someone who was affected.

Welcome to a remarkable episode of Fearless Freedom with Dr. G! Today, we're diving into the inspiring journey of Gregory Stern.   In 2013, at just 19 years old, Gregory faced a pivotal moment in his life—an ankle injury that would change everything. What began as a seemingly ordinary ankle sprain morphed into a chronic ordeal, subjecting him to unrelenting foot, hip, and back pain for a grueling five years. This constant discomfort not only tested his physical endurance but also pushed him to dark places where he felt disconnected from the activities he once cherished, despite his youthful age and athleticism.   In the midst of this challenging period, Gregory's dream of attending medical school appeared distant and unattainable. His world revolved around the relentless pain, leaving him emotionally numb to any other aspirations. Fueled by an unyielding determination to heal, he made a bold and life-altering decision—to chart a completely new course. His journey led him to the hallowed halls of McGill University, where he embarked on a path of transformation, enrolling in the Masters in Physical Therapy program.   What sets Gregory apart is his insatiable curiosity about the intricate workings of the human body. He became consumed by a relentless hunger to understand how our bodies operate. His quest for knowledge knew no bounds as he invested countless hours and resources to learn from some of the most esteemed therapists and movement coaches across the globe. Each day, he chiseled away at his physical challenges, conducting tireless experiments and achieving incremental progress.   Today, Gregory's story takes an inspiring turn. The individual who once grappled with unrelenting pain is now pain-free. He's unlocked a newfound realm of movement freedom that had eluded him for most of his life. Gregory once again revels in the sports he adores, liberated from the chains of fear. He skillfully balances on slacklines and embarks on long hikes, even going barefoot—a feat that was once unimaginable during his painful journey.   Join us in celebrating Gregory's extraordinary narrative—a testament to the indomitable human spirit, unwavering dedication, and the remarkable capacity of the human body to heal and flourish.    Learn more about Gregory here: https://rebuild.groundupphysio.com/rebuild-your-body-from-the-ground-up--db51d   Guest Bio: Greg Stern, the visionary behind From the Ground Up Physiotherapy, is a dedicated advocate for holistic health. His life's purpose revolves around assisting individuals in unraveling the true origins of their pain and discomfort. With unwavering dedication, he guides them on a transformative journey of self-discovery through movement.   Unlike traditional approaches that often fixate solely on the source of pain, Greg's methodology is a symphony of holistic healing. He empowers individuals to explore entirely novel ways of engaging their bodies, reawakening dormant muscles, and unlocking forgotten movement patterns. In doing so, he nurtures the body's innate ability to function as a harmonious whole, allowing the site of pain to heal in tandem with the body rather than in opposition.   As the driving force behind From the Ground Up, Greg's chief objective is to serve as a compass for those embarking on their unique health journeys. His mission extends beyond mere pain relief; it's about equipping individuals to not only overcome their challenges but to flourish in their daily lives. Greg firmly believes that injuries are not mere setbacks; they are opportunities for self-discovery. They serve as a gateway to learning, igniting curiosity, deepening one's understanding of the body, resolving issues, optimizing efficiency and performance, and unveiling untapped potential that had remained concealed. In Greg's world, each injury is a stepping stone toward a healthier, more vibrant self.   ___________________ Subscribe to this podcast and download your favorite episodes to listen to later: ___________________   ⚕️ Are you a woman healthcare professional who is struggling to juggle everything in your personal and professional life?  

TAXI member, Greg Carrozza was on a panel about this topic at last year's Road Rally, and he's discussed aspects of it on various episodes of TAXI TV. But, I've yet to give him the floor to do a much deeper dive about it on TAXI TV. That all changes on this week's episode! In Greg's own words, "I'd talk about what to do after you get a forward, how to manage your expectations and attitude, how to deal with people when they contact you, how to be prepared for that, how to communicate, how to create deliverables, and more." The Upside... Doing things right can create a trusted relationship with a music library. The kind of relationship that lasts for years, and gets you to what some might call, "the front of the line," when it comes to having an open door with the library, getting briefs sent directly to you, having your music requested for special projects, etc. The Downside? The opposite of living in that rarified world can be caused by doing some dopey stuff during your first contact with the company, or by sending them deliverables that cause them to do this

In Greg's work as a coach, he often hears something like this: "Yes I agree, but how do I talk to my spouse about that???" Sometimes we're shocked that a spouse feels like they can't bring up a topic with their 'better half' -- even if it is a sensitive one. But then we remember that we used to be there too. And in this episode, we share a personal experience about a topic that was off-limits for about a decade or more... and how we worked through it. Eventually, we got to the point where we can talk to each other about ANYTHING. And to have an extraordinary marriage, that's where you want to be. Yes, it's work. But what's the alternative? To coast on a plateau or to drift into non-communication? Learning to discuss difficult topics strengthens your marriage and your bond as a couple. Learn how to do that in this episode.

This is my big Episode 50. That's, like, a milestone, right? And it's with a nice guy I know, so I like it even more. I worked with Greg for years at a veterinary publishing and event company. Now, he's working on revving up his business in commercial photography, which I think is interesting. What is commercial photography? In Greg's case, he specializes in tabletop product pics, headshots, and pet portraits. You know, not artsy-fartsy photographs (although he takes those, too, and they're real purty), but work for businesses. The kind of shots that leave you smiling at an executive's facial expression, or curious about a new beer, or intrigued by packaging of just about anything. In this interview, he drops some tidbits about two basic mistakes people make taking amateur pictures at the end, so stay tuned  … Audio note: Greg's audio is a little crackly sometimes. Hey—nice guys and gals agree to record interviews with me remotely, and I don't harangue them about their setup, alright? ALRIGHT? Love you all! :) To Feed Further Curiosity: You can find Greg Kindred Photography here. He takes good pictures of anything, he stays calm and collected, and he's creative. Here's a pic of me and Greg with ex-co-workers with that company. I found it in the set of “Events" pics Greg has on the above website. He's the tall guy in the shades far left. I'm the tall guy in the middle back with the mostly shaved head. We both have foam fingers because we rule. He looks about the same years later. I've chonked Greg is planning to crowd-fund publishing costs for a book of Kansas City breweries. He's already got interest from local retailers to sell it. I've seen the proof-of-concept book, and it's awesome. I don't care about beers or Kansas City that much (I'm from Cali, so sue me), but the book is really pretty and interesting. Hurry up, Greg.

How do we define the thing?”[45:45] Question: How do we develop emotional logic?[46:20] “A gardener cannot make a plant, can't make a plant grow.

Have you ever thought about the problem of plastics? Statistics are stark. The very first plastic bottle ever produced is still in existence. It can take hundreds of years for it to decompose in landfill and recycling of plastic is presently inefficient and expensive. Join Corinna Bellizzi as she connects with Greg Dayley for a lively discussion around the problem of plastic packaging, the responsibility of manufacturers to clean up their acts and how you can hold them accountable and make a difference. About Greg Dayley, CEO & Founder of SeabarMeet Greg Dayley, the unlikely head of a personal care brand that seeks to remove superfluous plastic use from our everyday bathroom routines. Inspired by an encounter with a sea turtle mired with plastic trash, Greg Dayley has created a subscription solution that could just change how you think about your hygiene regimen. In Greg's view, a personal care solution should also be earth-friendly. In this episode you'll hear startling statistics with regard to plastic waste, recycling rates, and why recycling IS NOT THE ANSWER.

I was thrilled to welcome Greg Bray, President of Blue Tangerine, a digital marketing agency, on my latest episode. I was excited to polish Greg’s pitch, partly because it was so brief.   In Greg’s pitch, he identified his target market niche, home builders, and how he helps his clients.

This week’s guest invented one of the most impactful things in American beer history —but it’s not a beer style, or a recipe, or a festival, or a piece of equipment—it’s an app. Untappd grew from a side project for Greg Avola and his partner Tim Mather—one that they moonlighted for on weekends—to a leading social experience for beer geeks in a very short amount of time. Basically you try a beer, you log the experience, and it keeps track of your history. You can share that experience with others, rate it, post pics, tag bars and breweries where you enjoyed it—each little interaction creates a massive web of crowd data over time. Some producers find it fascinating and valuable. Others are haunted by it and think it’s ruining beer. Or maybe already has. But it’s surely, like any software, largely what we make of it. But what is Untappd itself made of? This interview follows on co-founder Greg Avola’s recent exit from his role at the company—after it was acquired by Next Glass a few years ago, Greg’s role became less of a product engineer and tweaker, and more of a creative director, working across a lot of other roles, outlining new strategies, and integrating with the ecosystem of follow-on acquisitions like Beer Advocate, and most recently Hop Culture. With the intent to build a B2B and B2C ecosystem that enabled the rating, tracking, promotion and purchasing of the beers people find most interesting. Basically leveraging content to create a new sort of tier in the 3-tier system. But it’s not without its challenges, both personal and professional. In this conversation Greg talks a lot about what it’s like to be a founder of a small tech project that goes big. The burden that places on the individual, and how evolving in an acquisition environment is fraught with personal challenges. But it also outlines how the scope of Untappd is shifting. Their numbers are down in the U.S. but growing rapidly abroad. Not unlike what happened with one of its predecessors, Ratebeer. And the other acquisitions, like Beer Advocate, haven’t really panned out the way it was imagined, leaving most of the creative and strategic onus on Untappd itself, a challenge it seems to have met with some renewed focus on content, events, and overall community-building in the past year. In Greg’s open letter about his decision to step down, he was uncommonly transparent about his rationale, experiences, and hopes. And that’s the catalyst for us talking today—from one start-up founder to another. I think it’s critical that more people openly share the nature of the sacrifices people like Greg make to see their idea grow.

SummaryThis is the final episode of season 3, and it features a couple of really in-depth research reviews. After some Good News and Feats of Strength, Eric takes a deep dive into a commonly-held belief in the evidence-based fitness world, and discusses whether or not getting lean will enhance your ability to gain muscle by improving your insulin sensitivity and increasing your p-ratio. After that, Greg has an excellent review covering the topic of ischemic preconditioning, followed by a Q&A segment in which Greg and Eric answer a couple of common questions with some very practical applications.Content warning: In Greg’s research review, he discusses research that was carried out in dogs.

Dealing with Cool Season Pests When it comes to dealing with cool-season pests it can be a little different than those pesky warm-season pests. The biggest way to control the cool-season pests is to have a spray program early in the vegetable garden. During the cool season, there are four different kinds of species that can cause the most trouble such as the diamondback caterpillar, cabbage lopper, cabbageworm, and the cutworm. Although most people like to identify these species there really is no need to because the treatment to control them is the same except for cutworms. Another insect that a lot of people deal with during the cool season is slugs. We recommend using Sluggo Plus which is a bait that you sprinkle along the ground to kill them off. The last set of cool-season pests that you will have to deal with in the garden is the flying insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and earwigs. In order to control these cool-season pests, you need a spraying schedule that is best suitable for your garden and the pest you struggle with. Travis goes over his top cool-season pest control products that he has found to work great in his garden. The first week, he mixes B.t., Neem Oil, and the Complete Disease Control. The next week he will use the B.t., Horticultural Oil, and Liquid-Cop. However, if his worm pressure increases for any reason he switches the B.t. out for Spinosad in order to knock them out of the vegetable garden. In Greg's garden, he switches it up a little bit and mixes the Fruit Tree Spray and Complete Disease Control one week. Then, the next week he doesn't play around with his bad worm pressures so he uses B.t., Liquid-Cop, and Spinosad. The B.t. works only on worms and hits them as a feeder. The Spinosad works as a stomach poisoning or for direct contact. While the Liquid-Cop is ideal for controlling the blights and some of the disease pressures in the garden. General Pest Control Practices If you had a problem last year with a certain pest, you can guarantee you will have a problem this year. So control that pest early in the vegetable garden this year.Spray early and at least weekly in the garden.Don't be afraid to make cocktails and rotate your pest control products.If you do a good job controlling your pests this year, then next year it will be a lot better.Maintain a clean garden. Show and Tell Segment On the show and tell segment this week, Greg and Travis talk about a hurricane which means lots of rain/wind getting ready to hit South Georgia and the surrounding area. They also talk about all the vegetables they got planted this week such as elephant garlic and onions. Greg has a bit of a problem with rabbits in the vegetable garden, but he is getting ready to solve that issue soon. Travis shares a couple more new varieties for 2021 that we are carrying now. The first variety is the Better Boy Tomato which is a popular indeterminate that makes huge, tangy tomatoes that are ideal for slicing and making sauces. Next, is the Purple Boy which produces deep purple fruits with an exceptional flavor profile. Another new variety is the Lemon Boy that makes a bright yellow tomato with higher-yielding compared to other varieties. Also, we now have the All American Selections winner, Big Beef Tomato available. This is a large, beefsteak tomato that is considered to be the gold standard for fresh market tomatoes in many areas of the country. Viewer Questions For the Q & A segment this week, the guys answer some viewer questions that were asked on last week’s show. If you have an Earthbox can you use our Container Watering Kits? Greg mentions that you can use our container kits for Earthbox and should work with no problem. The next question is whether you should order spring seeds now or wait until fresh seeds are available. All the seeds we have available now are fresh and have been germ tested based on the State of Georgia laws. There are a few varieties that we will sell out of thi...

Viewer Questions Answered Since several of our viewers have questions about growing shallots, leeks, onions, and garlic the guys decided to answer all your questions on this week's episode. The first question the guys answer is when to plant Vidalia onions in the garden. According to Greg, if you are direct seeding go ahead and plant them in the garden. If you are transplanting Vidalia onions, you can transplant anytime in November. The next question is should elephant garlic seed be cold chilled or stratified for 8 to 10 weeks before planting? In the South, our temperatures never get cold enough to vernalize it so the hard neck garlic or soft neck garlic will stratify. With elephant garlic, you do not have to place into cold temperatures before planting because it will stratify whether we get a cold winter or not. The third question mentioned is what size plots do the guys have in their gardens. In Greg's garden, he has a couple of different plots that range from 20x15, 30x40, and 40x60. Travis mentions that the garden plots are typically average around 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. The next question is wondering the best time to plant English peas and sugar snaps in the garden. Travis says that as soon as the weather conditions stop being higher than 90 degrees, he will begin planting English peas for the Fall. Another question a viewer has is whether or not garlic has any pest problems when growing in the garden. Greg has only experienced aphid problems on garlic, but no tremendous problems where it affects the garlic. He mentions that he has never treated elephant garlic or onions with a pesticide in the past. The sixth question is how many plantable cloves of the elephant garlic per pound and can you plant on double rows. Travis counts the cloves and normally between 10 to 12 cloves come per pound and he does plan to plant them in double rows in the vegetable garden. In the past, Greg has planted shallots using the dibble wheel and he plans to do it again this year. Travis mentions you can plant shallots and onion transplants using the dibble wheel. The next question the guy's answer is if mustard plants will kill off root-knot nematodes. According to Travis, mustard plants will kill root-knot nematodes due to the release of glucosinolates. However, the spicier the mustard the better off it will kill the nematodes, so he suggest using Florida Broadleaf. The ninth question talks about how to cut cover crops in so they won't come back in the garden. Greg says the only cover crop that is invasive and you could have problems with reseeding is Buckwheat. Just make to cut the seed pods and incorporate it back into the garden before they bloom and mature. Another question related to removing cover crops from the garden is can animals eat them down. Travis mentions that you can certainly get animals such as goats, chickens, pigs, and cows in the area to help remove cover crops from the garden area. The last question the guys discuss is whether they are using any nitrogen-fixing inoculants with the cover crops. Greg mentions that if you have a situation where you have been planting legume varieties for a long period of time the beneficial bacteria is already present in the soil. If it is a new area that you are planting a legume, then he would add a nitrogen-fixing inoculate to the garden soil. Show and Tell Segment On the show and tell segment, Greg and Travis try some garlic dill pickles and jambalaya pickled okra that a viewer sent them from George Farms in Texas. This week, Greg has planted Sweet Harvest onions in his onion bed. Products of the Week Drip Tape Irrigation Kit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y3eFDmETeQ

Addiction comes in all forms. Psychology Today, defines it as a condition in which a person engages in the use of a substance or in a behavior for which the rewarding effects provide a compelling incentive to repeatedly pursue the behavior despite detrimental consequences. Greg Nance found himself is such a place for seven long years. As he explains, there were weekends where he would engage with thirty to forty drinks. He became the life of the party⏤except it was no party! In Greg's words he explains the start of a life-chapter that changed everything. "My grandfather Charlie Nance (Marine at Iwo Jima and an incredible man who lived with us growing up and inspired me daily) had a debilitating stroke and soon passed away. One moment he’s the rock of the family the next he’s a shell of himself then gone. At 16 I didn’t know how to process the immense pain and confusion and hurt. The only escape was alcohol and I began a 7-year struggle." After a series of accidents and terrible mishaps, Greg realized that at 23 he needed to do something and he needed to do it fast. The something was to quit drinking and as he tells it later in the story⏤this would become his biggest accomplishment in life. Greg Nance transformed his life in remarkable style! He has jogged 49 countries and run some of the toughest footraces on the planet. Highlights include running the UK coast-to-coast, 124 miles thru the Malaysian highlands, and 100 miles across the Philippine jungle. In 2015 he was profiled in Adventure World Magazine for finishing the 250KM Gobi March with a sprained knee nonetheless. But his all-time favorite was running 155 miles with Dad thru Chile's Atacama Desert, the world's driest, and crossing the finish line together! Truly Amazing, but it doesn't end there... Greg has just become part of a special elite club if you will⏤think of it in these terms, more people have gone into outer-space than completed this feat: 7 Marathons in 7 Days on 7 Continents. Beginning with 26.2 miles in Antarctica, he then ran back-to-back marathons in Cape Town, Perth, Dubai, Madrid, Santiago, and Miami! The story continues on the Brink of Greatness Podcast… The Next Leap Forward Considering Greg's success with running and marathons⏤he still places quitting drinking as the top accomplishment in his life⏤that is a clear affirmation of not only the dangers of drinking, but what that meant to his life. This should be a wake-call for all of us. The road to recovery is seldom straight: Relapse, or recurrence of substance use, is common—but definitely not the end of the road. For those who achieve remission of the disorder for five years, scientists report, the likelihood of relapse is no greater than that among the general population, reports Psychology Today. There are plenty of myths and misconceptions about addiction, but in reality, the processes that give rise to addictive behavior resist a simplistic explanation. There is not just one cause: Although genetic or other biological factors contribute to a person’s vulnerability to the condition, many social, psychological, and environmental factors have a powerful influence on substance use.

Greg Anderson, author photography artist, and world traveler, among many other things, joins Kristie on the podcast today. Greg experienced a lot of different places during his childhood, and a lot of different career choices throughout his adulthood. In this episode, Greg shares the struggles of his journey, building resilience and getting clarity in your life. Consider/Ask: Radical Mindset Musings ·      From an early age, Greg had to learn to adapt to new places and meeting new people. His many moves throughout his childhood demystified adaptation and encountering strangers.·      He worked through the fear of the formative years through wanderlust, and being in a different place four years in a row. While he didn’t know at the time, he was acquiring soft skills that would benefit him later in life.·      Travelling helps us discover the ways we are different from each other, but also spotlights the way we are all the same.·      For creative individuals, it can be really depleting to be so invested in the corporate or business side of things. It can be a challenge to be good at something you don’t particularly enjoy. This makes it easy to miss the fact that you might not be on the right path.·      It’s important to get back to what feeds you in an intrinsic and internal way, rather than a creature comfort way.·      When you’re not doing the thing that you were put on earth to do, there is a discomfort there that you can’t always place. It ends up becoming an impediment to enjoying other things in life – relationships, extracurricular activities, etc.·      Greg experienced some separation anxiety and depression that led him to experience a sense of panic. This, along with not being connected to what he was doing, fed off each other to affect both his personal and professional life.·      Greg’s separation anxiety exacerbated the tumultuous nature of puberty in high school and also led to feelings of depression.·      In Greg’s darkest times, he was tired, exhausted, and didn’t have much fight left in him. His pain manifested itself physically. There was no care of love for himself or living life.·      Strength and resilience came from the mentality that you don’t walk off the field until the game is over.·      To overcome, there has to be a persistence to just do the work. Sometimes that means getting out of bed and going to work, or meeting with a therapist. There is always something to find that’s beautiful or life affirming or sustaining. You have to have your eyes open enough to see them when they come by.·      It can take a while to realize the nature of our creativity. Creativity is all about telling stores; the medium is secondary.  Revolutionary Leader's Mantra: Greg’s mantra comes from a poem he’s always cherished: You are a child of the universe and you have a right to be here. Whether or not it’s clear to you, the universe is unfolding as it should. We’re a tiny speck in a big universe. He travels with a copy of this poem everywhere he goes.

This is a deep dive episode all about choosing a tech platform for your next project. First a caveat: it is my belief is that most business owners do not need to focus on choosing the tech platform by themselves. It's far better for you as the business owner to get completely clear on the project vision and goals. Then after that's in place, the right tech platform will reveal itself… most likely by working with your tech team! To give this episode context, I'm speaking about the platform decisions that I used with two of my recent clients, Greg and Claire. Greg and Claire are at completely different stages of their businesses, but both came to me to build out a membership site for them. In fact, both of them came to me to build out membership sites using Thinkific. But only one of them ended up on Thinkific. To understand why I steered Greg away from Thinkific and welcomes Claire's Thinkific membership site with open arms, let's discuss what goes into making a tech decision. I alluded to this earlier – clarity on the project vision and goals. Claire: She has built an online following and has a proven track record with her audience. She was looking for a new way to organize her content so that her members could pick and choose the content that they wanted to consume. And she was putting the content into courses with one or more lessons. The sheer fact that the content was going to be organized in courses with lessons lends itself ideally to a learning management platform. But, was Thinkific the *right* learning management platform for Claire and her members? For that, Claire told me that she has experience on Thinkific and wanted to use the platform. She had seen other membership sites on the platform and believed that it would suit her and her members well. I didn't have to figure out the platform with her because the evidence was clear that this would work. Greg: He is brand new to his online business and started his YouTube channel shortly before our first call. He explained to me the vision for the membership site – almost entirely video content that would be released on a periodic schedule.

This is a deep dive episode all about choosing a tech platform for your next project. First a caveat: it is my belief is that most business owners do not need to focus on choosing the tech platform by themselves. It’s far better for you as the business owner to get completely clear on the project vision and goals. Then after that’s in place, the right tech platform will reveal itself… most likely by working with your tech team! To give this episode context, I'm speaking about the platform decisions that I used with two of my recent clients, Greg and Claire. Greg and Claire are at completely different stages of their businesses, but both came to me to build out a membership site for them. In fact, both of them came to me to build out membership sites using Thinkific. But only one of them ended up on Thinkific. To understand why I steered Greg away from Thinkific and welcomes Claire’s Thinkific membership site with open arms, let’s discuss what goes into making a tech decision. I alluded to this earlier – clarity on the project vision and goals. Claire: She has built an online following and has a proven track record with her audience. She was looking for a new way to organize her content so that her members could pick and choose the content that they wanted to consume. And she was putting the content into courses with one or more lessons. The sheer fact that the content was going to be organized in courses with lessons lends itself ideally to a learning management platform. But, was Thinkific the *right* learning management platform for Claire and her members? For that, Claire told me that she has experience on Thinkific and wanted to use the platform. She had seen other membership sites on the platform and believed that it would suit her and her members well. I didn’t have to figure out the platform with her because the evidence was clear that this would work. Greg: He is brand new to his online business and started his YouTube channel shortly before our first call. He explained to me the vision for the membership site – almost entirely video content that would be released on a periodic schedule. Some of the videos would be available for public consumption while others were to be restricted to members. I took pause – there was no mention of courses or lessons in his description. One checkmark in the column of “something other than Thinkific” and then we went on further into how his audience was going to purchase and consume the content. His content is designed to be consumed on a regular basis, coming back week after week to grow and learn from him. There is no completion. It’s constant improvement. Another check in the column of “something other than Thinkific.” And then he mentioned a website that he liked the flow of and when we took a look at that membership site, it was clear that Thinkific was not the direction that would be suit his goals.

In September of 1990, with a bank loan, an assistant and 500 square feet of office space, Greg Hatcher started The Hatcher Agency. He signed a 3 year lease on that 500 square feet of office space thinking it would be all he would ever need. At the end of the first year, he had already outgrown his office space and had grown to 7 employees, producing more insurance in his first year of business than any agent in the state of Arkansas. Three years later in 1993, The Hatcher Agency was named Arkansas' Small Business of the Year by Arkansas Business and The Hatcher Agency was the largest health insurance agency in the state of Arkansas. Greg and The Hatcher Agency have been the number one producer since, leading the state of Arkansas in health insurance sales every year since they started business in 1990. Greg graduated in 1983 from Alma College with a degree in Public Relations. While at Alma, he was President of the Student Body, and lettered in soccer, wrestling and baseball. Greg was named the schools Outstanding Graduate and the TKE Fraternity's Top Fraternity Man for his local Chapter and Nationwide. Greg was also a nine-letter winner and one of the last athletes to play three varsity sports for four years at Alma College. He was captain of the wrestling team and was named first-team all-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1982-83. Hatcher helped the wrestling and baseball teams each capture three MIAA titles while also lettering in soccer. Hatcher was president of his junior class and served as president of the student body as a senior. He co-founded and was president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and also served as sports information director from 1981-83. Following graduation, he coached baseball at Notre Dame University for one year before going to work for Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield. In Greg's seven years at Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield, he was named the Account Executive of the Year, a record six consecutive times, before leaving to start his own agency in 1990. In 1999, Greg wrote the book 55 Steps to Outrageous Service, which is a book outlining the service that The Hatcher Agency delivers every day to their clients. This book has sold over 15,000 copies to date and in 2011 a publisher purchased the rights to the book and is now printing over 100,000 in paperback. The Hatcher Agency has grown to a business with 50 employees, over 650 group clients, and over 180,000 insured's. Because of his Outrageous Service philosophy, Greg and The Hatcher Agency have earned numerous awards and recognitions, including lifetime status in the Million Dollar Roundtable, recognizing the top 3 % of life insurance producers in the country and a lifetime Golden Eagle Award winner by the National Association of Health Underwriters, recognizing the top 1% of health insurance producers nationwide. His greatest joy has come from his work in getting wrestling started in Arkansas. Hatcher founded The Arkansas Wrestling Association (AWA) and has purchased the mats for 60 high schools and 4 colleges to help get new programs started at these schools. For his efforts, he has been honored with the “Dan Gable America Needs Wrestling Award,” named WIN Magazines Man of the Year and awarded The Certificate of Merit by The Arkansas Activities Association. Greg is most pleased that over 4,000 kids now wrestle in Arkansas.

In this incredibly inspiring episode of "The Greg Amundson Show" you'll join Greg at his CrossFit gym in Santa Cruz, California, for a live recording of Faith Works Ministry. In Greg's message to the attendees, you will learn the metaphysical and spiritual meaning of "Opening Our Eyes" through the words and teaching of Jesus Christ. Greg also discusses his new book "The Warrior and the Monk" and the amazing mentors who have influenced his life. This is an awesome episode packed full of wisdom, insights, encouragement and increased revelation of God's Word. ​

It’s all about an unfolding journey of working with the land experimenting with new and unconventional methods to bring balance to the ecology and yet be able to have the soil sustain them with high quality, nutrient dense - organic food. A life that he and his wife Rachel and children absolutely love. Greg has also been involved in a significant tree planting program that coincided with the Air New Zealand Environment Trust wanting to plant trees to offset some of their aircraft emissions. This enabled them to bring their environmental footprint back down to earth - by planting 85,000 trees, the vast majority being natives. The Family Farm Greg Hart, his wife Rachel and family live beside a 30 hectare lake - (80 acres) on 1500 acres or 650 - hectares - which Greg says is an average size farm in the Hawkes Bay region for 1 and a bit person to run … Their lake was where tuna or eeling took place by early Maori - plus waka or canoes have been found sunken in the lake too. These link back to Maori families, that Greg has connections to. His farm is a mixture of beautiful rolling hills and some flat land and some steeper hill country with about 30 acres of remnants of native bush which he has been recently adding to. Unfolding Journey of Discovery It’s all about an unfolding journey of working with the land experimenting with new and unconventional methods to bring balance to the ecology and yet be able to have the soil sustain them with high quality nutrient dense organic food. A life that he wife Rachel and his children absolutely love. He has a web page called ‘Restoring Paradise’ - where 1,000 years ago his area would have been in perfect balance … It’s about working with the land, not extracting maximum yield - experiencing family, joy, people visiting and sharing. Greg has been involved in a significant tree planting program that coincided with the Air New Zealand Environment Trust wanting to plant trees to offset some of its aircraft emissions and bring its environmental footprint back down to earth - by planting 85,000 trees, the vast majority being natives. The plan was to restore ecosystems and regenerating native forests To also become a working model of a sustainable regenerating agricultural system and have an open farm where visitors are encouraged to come and reconnect to nature and see where and how their food grows and comes from. Because at present, NZ’s ecological systems, particularly due to dairy farming are becoming more out of balance. A big driver for Greg is about sustainable food systems and food milage based on oil, and all the fossil fuels consumed in growing food. Grain imports coming from overseas to feed the pigs and chickens has a large ecological footprint. In Greg’s estimation even his hens are not really sustainable either due to lack of granular food - with less organic wheat being grown in NZ. Perennial as against Annual crop planting Greg’s looking at more perennial crops so as to stop the continued cycle of growing each and every year, with more labour and fuel consumption disturbing the soil, the soil microbes, greater erosion etc. He has noticed that his pigs are doing quite a lot of damage to the soil on his farm and he has concerns about lack of soil cover and that with recent rains - can wash away this precious soil into drains and away. etc. Regenerative Agriculture The present focus is on regenerative agriculture - it is somewhat like organics and an ecological approach to sustainable land management -  like building up soil carbon and humus in the soil.  This is by reducing our carbon emissions due to the way this particular system sequesters Co2 out of the atmosphere and locking it down in the soil, as the soil is the biggest sink of carbon - it’s naturally built into the ‘earth system’. So regenerative agriculture takes and locks down carbon and makes the soil more fertile resilient and also capable of producing more nutrient dense food. Darren Doherty - http://www.regrarians.org/about/ - a Permaculture practitioner teacher from Australia - states: if the 5 billion hectares of agricultural soils around our planet were to increase their soil carbon content by 1.6% it would take out 100 parts per million of co2 out of the atmosphere - which is quite doable - this locking it back down in the soil. We could drop c02 content from 400 parts per million to 300 parts per million and it would really benefit our global food production. Regenerative Agriculture increase biodiversity - whereas the present Neo-Liberal system is still cutting down forests to expand industrial agriculture - Greg is heading in the opposite direction and setting aside the less productive food growing areas and planting trees and restoring ecosystems and he is noticing the incredible increase in insects and bird life and nature is growing back into restoring itself with natural cycles starting to kick back in. Water Quality This brings up water quality and with quality humus this acts as a natural water filter and the need to keep the soil after heavy rains from washing into water courses, rivers and out to sea - affecting fishing beds etc. Holistic Thinking Greg uses a holistic grazing system and again ‘ holistic thinking’ is embedded throughout the methods that he is using right across his farm as he endeavours to intuitively read what nature requires to rebalance itself and build up the soil carbon with its trillions of microbes - the microflora - especially bacteria and fungi - the 'workhorses' of our planetary ecology. The use of industrial fertilisers and chemicals are harming the soil biology - especially over the long term - when he wants the soil and planet to be thriving from day one. Greg's Philosophy is ‘do no harm.'  One of his farming heroes is American Joel Salitin  - PolyFace farm -http://www.polyfacefarms.com/our-story/ - Time magazine called him the most innovative farmer in the world and he is also a brilliant communicator - He is stacking enterprises on his land - by looking and mimicking how nature generates food. Embedding Micro Enterprises across the Farm Being innovative, Greg has created some small micro units - where someone can milk the cows and rear some calves and make an income from that. He is also direct marketing meat from the farm with home kills - and he has people with beehives - doing honey etc - and he sees there are incredible opportunities on the land that he is stewarding and care taking. Having his own Lodging for Guests. Having a portable saw mill is advantageous - he uses after cutting down  his own trees into timber - which he used to clad his lodge that sleeps 17 people down on his lake side.- The Lodge can be used for reunions, events, workshops, presentation etc  and many families and groups come to hang out in nature and reconnect with themselves at a deeper level. Even Corporate groups to breathe deeply again and chill out. It’s especially handy around education about earth systems etc, and of the necessity for people to understand the transition to regenerative agriculture. Deepening Our Connection That there is so much more that can be done to work with the land but Greg emphasises that it is about people working together and deriving more meaning at the same time. The interview covers Pure Hawkes Bay - http://purehawkesbay.org/ - that is wanting GE free status for the region and has a lot of local Council support whilst the Federated Farmers from the opposite perspective are arguing against it and the conscious people of the region!!! Greg's farm is an all grass system - no crops like turnips, swedes, maize and potatoes - as he wants to keep the tractor in the shed and see if he can live without disturbing the soil as much as possible. Which leads again back to Holistic Grazing Alan Savoury originally out of Zimbabwe http://www.savory.global/ - who observed the grazing animals of Africa from buffalo and zebra and to the bison of the American plains and with near on millions of animals in these herds  - these animals live on a very long seasonal rotation and continually move along eating the tops of grass a lot of it tall and defecating and urinating at the same time. Whilst following hoofed animals break down most of the stalks which are composed of mainly carbon and are pushed down into the dung, into the soil that over time this has built up a deep rich organic soil rich in soils microbes. - These African areas and great plains in America have some of the deepest richest soils that we have on our planet. That the richness of the soil allows great numbers of animals to be fed over millennia and the animals just kept moving - hence these areas are incredibly rich in grass, soil and deeply rooted plants and grass life. It’s turning sunlight into food for grazing animals.  It’s also  like composting on the soil surface. Grass is basically a carbon pump, the leaves are solar panels - plants are one of the most effective ways of sequestering co2 out of the atmosphere and pulsing it down into the ground. Greg is doing the same with his cattle using electric fences and moving the cattle everyday - and the rotational moving around the farm has the grass regenerating very fast and healthily. Because they are not eating every blade of grass percentage of leaves and stalks are still being ground into the soil along with dung and urine - the grass springs back into life quickly after … Back to Joe Salitin and a carbonaceous diaper - dung + leaves and stalks + urine builds up and covers your soil. Caring for it. Listen to the interview Note that pastoral agriculture is still the backbone of the NZ economy - but is is based on importing mega amounts of fertiliser for agriculture a lot of it phosphate from North Africa and Greg says that all the energy in mining it and trucking or railing it to ports - shipping to NZ then trucking to where it is processed then trucking it out to the rural regions and putting it in an aerial top dressing lane has huge costs as well as an ecological footprint skyrocketing. Will we have a crimp in fossil fuels in the future? If so Greg is prepared to work as if there could be one. Greg has learnt from courses in Biological Agriculture - (Listen to 4 interviews by Graeme Sait, as well as Arden Anderson, Christine Jones on GreenplanetFM.com) as well as organics and biodynamics and he finds that this holistic grazing management using these natural cycles has so many benefits. Utilising Grazing and Tree Cropping Together Greg then talks about environmental web sites that are saying if we want to save the planet we have to give up meat. Saying that he does not see any vegetarian eco systems in the world - yet animals are part of this nutrient cycling - and he is focusing on growing food producing trees on his farm - to get away from cultivating annual crops for our food. Where instead an integrated perennial polycultural system where you have food producing trees nutrient cycling trees and animals also working through the system - grazing under the trees etc. Greg talks about vegetarianism and a meat diet - (listen) re rice and pasta wheat not grown in NZ  same for pulses are all imported. These use up food miles. Meat is local. Mark Shepard - ‘Restoration Agriculture’ - https://permacultureapprentice.com/permaculture-profiles/new-forest-farm-mark-shepard-100-acre-15-years-of-establishment/  - that all our energy and cultivation is going into annual crops - rice, wheat, soy and corn - it’s so energy intensive every year - that the soils get ploughed up and the sun bakes and bleaches soil organisms in the heat and then rains can come and wash the soil away - it is disastrous at many levels   - there is no sustainability in this, especially when you add chemical sprays and fuel use. Nut trees in NZ, Greg says is a grand idea reducing our need for a lot of  annual soil cultivation. Walnuts, almonds, and hazel nuts have potential in this country   Universities - the need for natural soil science. Universities are not doing deep soil science - studying nature - but instead are looking at chemical band aids and trying to force feed the plant whilst in many cases destroying the microorganisms that are pivotal to feeding the plant. Many scientists are also spending so much of their time writing submissions for funding that they are spending a great deal of their time endeavouring to dream up ways so as to be financially viable. The commercial expediency of the Neo Liberal winner takes all approach to business - is devastating true scientific research in NZ. Today’s industrial farming has only one big winner, and they are the large agro combines and corporations. Whilst the farmer in so many instances is chemicalising his farm, depleting nature and selling unhealthy produce onto the market. Sam Lang - https://www.nuffield.org.nz/projects/ - Nuffield 2016 scholar travelling the world staying with Greg looking at sustainable systems and to get financial support to do these studies finds that finance is quite difficult to obtain in the current commercial environment - especially researching a green option. Covering his crowd funding program with ‘million metre streams’ -https://millionmetres.org.nz/ - planting around his lake on his property. Diversity of nature and a diversity of people who end up visiting - it’s the friendships and relationships and the warmth of connection - he loves sharing with people a farming experience. People can also become ‘a friend of the farm’ with an annual membership and people can - using that money plant trees with Greg's vision of ‘Fields of Food.  https://www.mangarara.co.nz/product/friend-the-farm/friend-of-the-farm-subscription/ - He has just had a visit from the Grand Chancellor James Cook hotel in Wellington and this keen group have turned up 5 years in a row and each year they grow another row of food trees on his farm - and this is what happens when you are receptive to work with the NZ public. In the future Greg says that there will be so much food that visitors will take it away and surpluses given to charities … We also have to get away from this scarcity mindset - to one of abundance  This is only a portion of this very interesting interview. - Tim These 2 recent videos which include Mangarara - The Family Farm and Greg's philosophies.

I come with Arrogant Bastard Ale, and somewhere along the way we crack open the Lagunitas Hop Stoopid.  Fortunately, my wife agreed to be my Uber because I’m uber-inebriated.  Ubernebriated.  #FeelTheUbern We continue our conversation about Dave Grohl as an important advocate and ambassador for music and expressive authenticity.  Neither of us particularly like Grohl’s music, but that’s not the point.  The man gives a shit, has a public platform, and is willing to (foo) fight for the arts. #FooFighterForTheArts I ask RJ another misguided but often asked question:  Paul or John?  “This,” RJ is likely to say, “Is a trick question.”  There are so many of these “trick” questions in the world.  May the next person who utters the phrase, “There are no stupid questions,” be immediately barraged with a cluster of stupid questions. #ColdEnoughOutThereForYou Regarding John and Paul?  They don’t work as well without each other.  “For Example,” explains RJ, “Imagine would be a much better song if Paul sang it and wrote the chorus.”  In any awesome band…everyone is integral to the sound of the band, and every player sounds uniquely like him/herself.  “Anyone can (learn to) play Tom Sawyer,” quips RJ, “But nobody will sound like Neil Peart.” And can we make yet another Beatles/Pink Floyd comparison?  Yes, we can.  You’ll perhaps recall that RJ completed my analogy which began, “Ringo is to the Beatles sound as…,” with, “…Nick Mason is to Pink Floyd.”  (Neither were technically “good” drummers, but both defined the sounds of their respective bands.  And not just any bands.  We’re talking about the Beatles and Pink Floyd.)  So, further comparisons: Paul McCartney and David Gilmour are Pop. (In RJ’s words, “They’re like, Yaaaaayyy!  Too much Richard Simmons.”) John Lennon and Roger Waters are sarcastic bastards with venom.  (In Greg’s words, “They’re like, fuck off, you wanker.”) RJ reveals his Mt. Rushmore of drummers and Beatles tunes and responds to a fun little wildcard question.  And he plays, “Enid,” by Barenaked Ladies.  Check out the Cuica. (“QUEE-kah”)  You know what it is, it’s the awesome sound from, “Me and Julio Down By the School Yard.”  You know what?  I’ll just put that song at the end of this.  It’s a great song.  And that cuica.  And the whistling solo?!  C’mon!!  And at the the beginning?  Let’s go with, “Money” by Pink Floyd.  It’s in 7/4, you know?  Except when it’s in 4/4.  It’s a badass tune.

Join Scott on FACEBOOK  The Astrology of Wisdom/Understanding on Your Spiritual Journey. Greg Bogart is a world class author-astrologer-psychotherapist/human being Greg Bogart Live with Scott Cluthe Wednesday Night at 8 EST-7 CST-6 MST-5 PST Call in for Greg: 347-308-8478  Greg Bogart, Ph.D., MFT. All of the writings described on this website are an outgrowth of my professional practice as a psychotherapist (LMFT 28276). His work combines meditation, yoga, Jungian dreamwork, existential psychotherapy, psychosynthesis, and Buddhist psychology with the cyclical wisdom and archetypal symbolism of astrology.  In Greg’s writings he explores methodologies of emotional and spiritual  process work using dreams, meditation, breath awareness, and dream symbolism. I encourage others to attempt these  practices, which are freely available, for their own healing and self-liberation. Currently he lectures in psychology at Sonoma State University, is an adjunct instructor at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), and a teacher in the New York Open Center’s Holistic Psychology program. Previously Greg taught for 20 years in the Counseling Psychology and East-West psychology programs at CIIS, John F. Kennedy University, Dominican University, and the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Beginning in 1974 Mr. Bogart studied meditation and hatha yoga with three great teachers: Swami Muktananda, Judith Lasater, and Allan Bateman. He is a graduate of the yoga teacher training at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco.

Southern California can seem magical, thanks to sunny skies, warm weather, orange groves and movie stars. In Greg van Eekhout‘s California Bones (Tor Books, 2014) the magic is real.

He worked for many years as a journalist, writing on a wide range of topics from science to justice reform, and now serves as director of communications for a think tank in New York City.
