But let's wing it, anyhow. First, a delivery on the hint from Monday (I believe) that there was some weird story floating around out there about a high school football game featured on ESPN over the past weekend. Er, well, here is that weird story. You know what other story is weird? Lauren Boebert's story. But there's a new chapter. And while it definitely ain't right, it's actually the least weird chapter she's got. In other news that slipped through the cracks, Trump lost a huge court case, again. Only this time, it'll cost him—at long last—at least some of his tax records. In Jan. 6th news, it sounds like the investigative committee thinks that just maybe, some of their House colleagues may have left a paper trail that's worth having a look at. Or more specifically, a paper trail about their electronic trail. But, wait! Shouldn't we wait five minutes for Kevin McCarthy to make the situation worse? Ah, nevermind. He's just done it. Well, surely that's the last of… oh, wait! We forgot about Andy Biggs! Oh, and we also forgot about the terrible lawyers who have attached themselves to the case. Some (f not all) of them were hoping we'd do that. In pandemic news, not all of the loony birds fighting mask mandates are Foghorn Leghorn types. The problem is, they're everywhere. And worse, Bannon the Hutt (TW: Bannon's face) is jumping out in front of their parade.

In Jan 2016 we made our way on a one way flights to Kuala Lumpur where we would travel as a family for 9 months around south east Asia. This was our first time as a couple we had been on our own (always lived with family) and our older boys who were 4 and 6 at the time. In this episode we dive into why we wanted to travel and how the idea came about. We wanted to give you some context before we dive deep into our travel adventure. At the end you will here an exciting announcement (for those who are local to Brisbane and Gold Coast) so keep an eye out on @cocotalkpodcast when you can purchase tickets. Thank you to everyone who has been listening and supporting us we really appreciate the love!

2005 Annual Report   Big Cat Rescue's Mission Statement:  To provide the best home we can for the animals in our care and to reduce the number of cats that suffer the fate of abuse, abandonment or extinction by teaching people about the plight of the cats, both in the wild and in captivity, and how they can help through their behavior and support of better laws to protect the cats.   Advances:  In 2005 the IRS reported that there are 964,000 registered charities in the U.S.  Only 81 of them qualify for and display the BBB Wise Giving Alliance Standards seal.  Big Cat Rescue is one of them. This seal confirms that the organization meets all 23 of the Standards for Charity Accountability. We have become so well known in the area, that our volunteers complain about wearing our logos in public because everyone loves us so much they just have to stop us and tell us so. Howie Baskin helped a Girl Scout troop organize our first Golf Tournament which netted 15,000.00. Invested in undercover surveillance equipment to shed light on the dirty truth behind the exhibition and exploitation of exotic cats.   Animal Care:  We added more whole prey to our cats' weekly diets and switched over to a prepared diet created by Natural Balance that improves their health via vitamin supplements. Faith the baby bobcat was upgraded to a much larger and more challenging Cat-a-tat where she had to learn to “out-fox” her food. Later, after completing her survival training, she was released onto 17,000 acres of pristine bobcat habitat.  President Jamie Veronica, and the interns track her weekly to insure that she is thriving on her own. We had to turn away 85 big cats that were no longer wanted by their owners but we rescued Snorkle the tiger from a circus owner and brought in tigers: India, Nyla, King, Princess and Narak from the circus. Rescued three baby mountain lions who were orphaned by a hunter in Idaho.  Their names are Artemis, Ares and Orion and they were neutered and spayed this year so that they can always stay together.   Staff and Volunteer Training:  Jamie Veronica got licensed by the state to be able to pick up injured or escaped wildlife.  In the past it had to be brought to us by someone who was so licensed .  Cathy Mayeski and Jen Rusczcyk completed the Clicker Training Expo in CA and now have 57 of our cats in the Operant Conditioning program. Jen organized and developed the Enrichment program making it one of the best in the country.   Jamie Veronica took the Intern Program to the next level and manages their housing, group activities and scheduling.  The Volunteer Committee re-wrote the Volunteer Program and the Intern Program and have updated ALL of our volunteers level of certification through testing. Some of our members attended the EARS training. (Emergency Animal Rescue Service) Hired green shirt Sharon Marszal to work filling orders for the gift shop and sent her to eBay training classes.  Read books on Non Profit Marketing, Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash to perfect our skills in these areas.   Education:  Our Education Director, Kathryn Quaas, is partnering with the Florida Aquarium to promote several joint efforts for schools and summer camps. We did legislative presentations to Stetson Law University on three occasions this year promoting a register to vote drive.  The Fur Ball CD of games, puzzles, screensavers and more were given to the 500 attendees with 300 extra being used as rewards for children who answer questions correctly during her presentations and field trips.   Howard began working with the Greenfund Network to create a joint venture in schools where kids turn in ink cartridges for recycling in bags that tell about Big Cat Rescue so that both their school and the sanctuary can benefit from the program.  Some kids may not care about raising money for scholarships, but they do care about saving tigers and this is a way to inspire them to keep these cartridges out of the landfills.   Filmed the rescue of three orphaned baby cougars with David Hurd Productions for use on the Animal Planet's new series that will be aired repeatedly, and thus help educate people about what is happening to their precious wildlife in the name of sport.  Six local libraries now stock our video, The Big Cat Picture in their documentary sections.   The portion of our web site that is devoted to education aimed at children through learning games has grown in leaps and bounds.  We added hundreds and hundreds of puzzles, free wallpapers, free screensavers and other educational activities that feature photos and drawings of the cats along with our message that “Exotic Animals Don't Make Good Pets!”  Began compiling worksheets and coloring pages for a educational handbook for students next year. Added FCAT lesson plans to our Teacher's Resource area. Used the Google grant to broadcast the availability of these teaching aids to students, their parents and teachers.  We participated in a study with Odd Cast that resulted in us being awarded 100,000 free streams for our Virtual Hosts.   Legislation:  Founder, Carole Baskin was unanimously elected to serve on the Board of the Humane USA Political Action Committee.  She was also appointed to the steering committee of the Florida Chapter of Humane USA. We enlisted the Florida Animal Control Association to help us approach the State of Florida in an effort to change the rules to better protect the animals and the public.  We were joined by HSUS and Humane USA in this endeavor and have asked the National Fraternity of Police Officers to join us as well. Carole was also appointed by Commissioner Brian Blair to serve on the Animal Advisory Committee and was elected secretary.  In November she was unanimously nominated to serve as Chair of the Animal Advisory Committee. We attended the Tampa Bay Partnership's Tampa Bay Day in Tallahassee and met with 25% of the state's legislators to ask for better animal protection laws.   We began promoting our Legislative portion of our web site that is dedicated to educating the public and legislators about animal welfare bills. 1,111,647 pages of bills were viewed by visitors.  We rallied support for the Federal bills to stop canned hunts with an aggressive online letter campaign to get people to ask their senators and representatives to co-sponsor this bill that would make it illegal to transport exotic animals across state lines for the purpose of injuring or killing them. We promoted hundreds of bills at the state and federal level. In just the first year we were responsible for 20,969 letters being sent to congress on behalf of the animals.   We launched our first online petitions and gathered 494 signatures on one to ban breeding and sale of exotic cats and 1878 signatures on 10 things we want legislators to know which includes the banning and breeding of exotic cats. We also launched our first online polls to see how people feel about issues such as animals in the circus, bobcats and cougars being hunted, exotic animal pets and more.  Response has been terrific and we are finding that roughly 85% of the public loves animals and want better laws to protect them and 90% do not want to see big cats being made to perform.   Attended AZA's Legislative session and Taking Action for Animals in Washington, DC.  Met with our Senators and Congressmen in D.C. and here locally to discuss the exotic animal issues. County Administrator, Pat Bean and Animal Services Director, Bill Armstrong both toured and interacted with the cats, learning about how we use operant conditioning for emergency preparedness.  We hosted tours for Hillsborough County Commissioners: Kathy Castor, Ronda Storms, Jim Norman, Ken Hagan, and for aids to Brian Blair and Mark Sharp.  We also toured Pinellas County Commissioners: Ronnie Duncan and Karen Seel.  We introduced these commissioners and State Representatives Kim Berfield and aids for Kevin Ambler along with team players for gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis so that they have a better understanding of why Florida needs laws to prevent the private ownership of dangerous exotic pets.   Requested that we be appointed to the state's Captive Wildlife Committee but were denied as the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission decided to comprise the committee of exotic pet owners.  State Legislators made it known later that the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission “had better fix this exotic animal problem or the legislature was going to get involved and FWCC was not going to like it.”  Began working on a memo with the help of former gubernatorial candidate Bill McBride's law firm that affirms a County's right to impose laws that do regulate exotic animal ownership as long as those laws do not single out exotic pet from other provisions that would apply to all.  In the past the Counties often thought they were helpless in the face of the constitutional amendment that had granted the Fish and Game agency the ability to act outside of the legislative process that all other states enjoy.   Fundraising and Marketing:  We had our first ever $10,000.00 day of tours and private tours in December.  Implemented our first direct mail campaign at Christmas with a request to support the three orphaned cougars.  We doubled the price of the Fur Ball tickets from 55.00 and 75.00 to 100.00 and 150.00 and raised a net of $60,000.00 (up from 40,465 last year) with only 500 attendees.  This enabled everyone to have a better time because there were no lines and our volunteers found it much easier to deal with 500 people at check out as opposed to 850 like we had last year at lower prices.  We discovered last year that at 55.00 we were just breaking even and for people for whom that was a lot of money we found that they did not spend money in the auctions so we had to evaluate whether the Fur Ball was a donor thank you party or a fundraiser and deciding it was the latter made the agonizing decision to double the price.   Opened an online store on eBay to reach a broader market with our logo's items and unique offerings. We tried MagFundraising.com for the first time and raised almost 3000.00 in magazine subscription commissions.  Our volunteers raised $3000.00 wrapping books at Borders Books.  Invested in Telosa's Donor Management software. We were given the front and back page of the Tampa Tribune's Commentary section and have been on several national programs including CNN, Fox, Animal Atlas on Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.   We purchased a second terminal for our Point of Sale system due to the overlap of tours beginning and ending in the gift shop.  In Jan our web site was averaging 170,000 hits per day and by the end of the year was reaching more than 300,000 hits per day with a surge to 744,000 hits per day thanks to a Google Adwords grant for unlimited advertising for three months. Cox radio gave us more than 100 on air spots to advertise the Valentine's Day wedding at Big Cat Rescue and gave us 300 more free advertising spots on air for our golf tournament on two stations. They also donated 300 spots for the Fur Ball.   Jamie Veronica's photos have been used in Biodiversity Magazine by Tropical Conservancy, and we created a Stock Photo portion of our website where featured artists donate their work and we sell the images online.  We set up Cafe Press and Zazzle sites to sell her images to raise money for the cats.  We were asked to apply for the WEDU's charity awards for our fundraising and marketing achievements.  The ink recycling program with Greenfund Network has succeeded far beyond our initial goals thanks to marketing the envelopes through our newsletter with now has a circulation of more than 35,000 homes.  We are candidates for the Webby Awards with the winner to be announced in 2006.   We created several video productions that tell viewers what we do including Orange Sky by Jamie Veronica and the Two Minute Tour by David Hurd.  In addition to this we created several new interactive slideshows including one called Born To Be Free that contrasts life in cages to life in the wild.  We started our first automatic direct deductions for banks and credit cards and a program with Albertson's where participating card carriers can have part of their purchases donated to us.  We created our first Big Cat Travel site that allows people to get the best Priceline prices on airfare, car and hotel rental, cruises and event tickets with the commissions paid to Big Cat Rescue.  Carole lost 17 more pounds with Matol and set up www.Matol-Diet.com so that others can lose weight, build their own home business and the commissions go to the cats as well. Volunteer Beth Stewart created and marketed a calendar of our sanctuary called Saving Big Cats.  This calendar was available at Amazon.com, Borders.com and BarnesAndNoble.com and we sold a number on site and on line as well.  The calendar was produced by TideMark Productions and featured photos of our cats for every month and their personal rescue stories.   With the help of Teasdale Worldwide Howard Baskin created our first formal Corporate Sponsorship program, both in general and for the Fur Ball.  We held special kid's tours after Thanksgiving and Christmas and were packed and got a lot of good press coverage for doing something for the kids.  We were in the press 48 times in 2005 and many of these were interviews with Scott Lope.  We were in Glamour Magazine twice, on CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Inside Edition and were instrumental in providing background information for Parade Magazines' piece on the exotic pet trade and for ABC's Prime Time that should air next year.  We have a PSA that was made jointly with the Girl Scouts of America that is airing nationally to encourage young people to get involved and do something good in their community.  We ended the year with money in the bank to begin building our Big Cat Lodge.   Grounds Improvement:  Completed two more tiger Cat-a-tats for the circus tigers in case of emergency. New Cat-a-tats were built for cougars; Mack and Cleo along with hurricane proof dens for each of them.  Cages were reshaped and room additions built for Caracals; Rusty & Sassy and Cachinga & Cachanga.  The same was done for the Serval; Alpha, Bobcats; Alex & Windsong and Banshee.  In addition many of the cats got hammocks, swinging platforms, secondary dens just to play in and Alex & Windsong got a new fort.  Tonga was moved and his old roofless cage was turned into a temporary playground for the three orphaned cougars.   The E-Center was whimsically painted to look like a leopard and the Cabins were painted by volunteer Julie Hanan to look like a tiger.  Butterfly gardens were added by Kathryn Quaas and the kids of summer camp to the Cabin area.  We moved the cavies off the tour route to a much larger enclosure and tore down the old otter cages that they had lived in on the lake.  The area was cleared so that there is a beautiful view of the lake and the tigers and lions beyond now.   Brought in a new Intern home that is a 4BR/2BA and Vern built a deck that is perfect for socializing after a long day of cat chores. Cleared all Brazilian Peppers from the back forty and built a road around the cell tower to make the back parcel more accessible. This area required heavy clearing and then bush hogging of dog fennel and some fill over the concrete to turn it into a lovely park like area.  Stood falling wall back up. Weeded and planted ferns at the beach. Began massive clean up of Styrofoam from lake banks. Bought a new shed for the two new golf carts and a new riding mower.  Added lots of filing cabinets and storage cabinets to the gift shop and office. The fenced waiting area had a cola machine, waterfall and lots of landscaping and mulching added to create a nice place for guests to wait for their tours.  Donor recognition signs were added to this area.   Bought three more acres for alternate access and parking and cleared the land of dog fennel so that we can keep it mowed.  Took on debt for the first time in our history with the purchase of this land.  Began negotiations with Outback and the County on building a multi use Education and Conference Center called the Big Cat Lodge.  Unveiled the new conceptual drawings of this improvement created by Collman and Karsky with help from Genesis at the Fur Ball. Applied for a Planned Development for this additional 3 acres to give us cross access, parking and 6 more residences for interns and volunteers.   Helping Others:  We invited other animal welfare groups to use our Legislative tools in customized banners on their web sites so that they could encourage their visitors to write their representatives about important animal welfare issues. We hosted the Alzheimer's Memory Walk for 600 walkers who raised 50,000 for Alzheimer's victims. Worked with PAKT to help them negotiate a deal with the circus and AZA for promoting responsible, life time care for animals who have had to work for a living. Continued to help ACT by driving the Spay Day trailer each month so that 100-160 cats per month can be spayed.   Charities that we donated to this year in the form of Free Passes to our sanctuary:  100 passes to No More Homeless Pets Adopt-a-thon 30 passes and gift certificate for a Big Cat Expedition to Florida Voices for Animals, Donated a Big Cat Expedition, a Feeding Tour and more to Animal Coalition of Tampa for their Some Enchanted Evening fundraiser and the same again to their Stride For Strays walk-a-thon. Donated the use of our facility to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay for their Volunteer Appreciation party and to National Humane Society for their volunteer and donor recognition party at Christmas. Donated an Expedition and Two for One Passes to SPOT and worked with them to create a segment on Pinellas County's Public Access Channel. Hosted a party for a team of Florida Panther protectors.   We raised 1250.00 each for EARS and HSUS to aid the animal victims of Katrina and 1000.00 each for conservation programs to save the margay in Brazil, to help start an eco tourism lodge in Guyana and to assist Lewa in Africa.   Other:  Gave a private tour to Toronto Blue Jay's Shea Hillenbrand. Customized a golf cart for hurricane use by creating a cat-proof cage to drop down over the carriage so that we can access any part of the property in the event of a cat being loose.   In a year when tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes ravaged the globe and other sanctuaries, even good ones, found themselves considering the euthanasia of their animals rather than let them starve due to the drop in donations we were able to thrive.  We are thankful to our staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this possible and to all of our donors and visitors who kept our cats fed in these worst of times.   The saddest news is that we now have to turn away nearly 100 exotic cats every year, because we cannot afford to take in all of them that are being bred and sold into the entertainment, pet and zoo industries.  The most common victims are Lions, Tigers, Cougars, Servals, Caracals and Bobcats.  We are now devoting more time to raising awareness and trying to get laws enacted that will protect these magnificent creatures from man.   The mission has evolved from just saving the cats that ended up in places like fur farms, hunting ranches and auctions, to making a difference on a global scale. People who come here and spend time with our cats are transformed.  I hear, over and over again, how people feel like their lives were changed forever by knowing these animals on such a personal level.  Many times I have heard visitors say, “I looked into that cat's eyes, and I saw God!”   For many of them, it is the first time that they have ever felt that they were intimately connected with the rest of creation.  It is a wake up call that we are all ONE.   It is my dream to integrate the beauty and majesty of the great cats with the inner awakening we can enhance in our visitors.  By making people more aware, we can make the world a better place.   Our Officers and Board of Directors • President Jamie Veronica (not compensated by BCR) • Vice President & BOD Cathy Mayeski (not compensated by BCR) • Secty/ Treasurer  Vernon C.

In Jan 2003, Russell Crowe became famous for “Gladiator”. 18 years later in Jan 2021, he became infamous for getting pissed at a tweet that called "Master and Commander", his other movie, “sleep-inducing”. He said kids have “no focus”, but does Gen Z actually have shorter attention spans? We debate this. And we also review our fav Reddit comments from the past week.

In Jan. 2017, millions of marchers all over the United States came together in what may have been the largest single day of protest in U.S. history. Later that year, the #MeToo movement — which had begun quietly more than a decade earlier — began to snowball. And in 2018, a record number of women were elected to public office in the U.S.

In Jan 2020 we travelled to Cornwall for the Arc of Attrition. Thane was running, Antony was crewing and so we thought this was an opportunity to talk about an ultra from the perspective of the crew. This is NOT an episode on how to crew an ultra. Unless you want to learn how to forget your runner’s kit. Or how to exchange their supplies for other people’s biscuits.

Listen to how Ashley Pearce discusses Intellectual Capital vs. Financial Capital and how he approached the eCommerce platforms. What have you been up to Ashley, since you were last on the Podcast? On eCommerce side: Set sights on 7 figures, on track for that. Existing SKUs have grown in revenue a little But revenue is on track for 40-50% growth, mostly fuelled by launching new SKUs and staying in stock on existing SKUs. Organic Traffic for eCommerce via Future State Media - an agency offering  Multiple businesses as well eCommerce side Like to “implement at the speed of thought”: Team has been experimenting and testing. Lots of organic traffic strategies  - grew Google traffic to own eCommerce site by 1600% Google Traffic to Ashley's own eCommerce site In Jan 2019 about 500 visitors per month from Google By the end of 2019, in excess of 8000 a month This was after a Google update in November - came back better than before in Jan Google strategies Invested in content Focus on long-tail keywords Site structure Deep research of competition Influencer marketing - more for Getting “good SEO juice” than for traffic Free SEO guide What brought you to Google? Started with Amazon advertising - and ended up pretty much breaking even. You don't have the possibility of remarketing as an Amazon seller, either. The increasing cost of Amazon advertising Ashley looked at adjacent industries to eCommerce for high ROI traffic.  High ROI is important - it's not so much just low cost when considering Intellectual Capital vs Financial Capital. Amazon Affiliates make a meagre commission - maybe 5% - so don't have a lot of money to play with and they went after Google SEO. But a lot of them have profitable businesses. So they have had to get very effective at Google SEO. Insight into action This insight pushed Ashley over to external traffic especially Google SEO. But Ashley's eCommerce company had the possibility of getting a higher margin, as a private Label business, than the Amazon affiliates had been getting. Ashley invested in 2 team members to explore that strategy as he explored Intellectual Capital vs Financial Capital. Cost of Google SEO Content is the tip of the iceberg.  So the cost is not just hiring a writer. Keyword research is key - including related keywords. There must be a predetermined keyword structure in place before you write the article. Then you need to do internal linking and site structure work afterward. For 2019 the cost of the overall project was around $8,000-10,000 to establish the strategy. That involves Research and Development. If they had spent $8-10K in ads, they would have had more immediate feedback; but a lot less ROI. Free SEO guide Future value This $10K investment should yield over 150,000 site visitors this year from that content even in 2021 - budget based on a 3-year lifespan - have some good benchmarks. But some could be over 5 years. So ROI is good over the long term. How long does it take the content to rank in Google? This comes back to the “Google sandbox”. Your website is put in that when you first launch. Google is still assessing whether you give Google the right signals in that period, as  Amazon does with your product listing. Google will not give you a great ranking for 6-12 months. However after that, FSM has requested indexing and within a day, found content showing in SERPs (Search results). And after a month, ranking much higher. So once you're out of the sandbox, you can rank articles quite swiftly. Free SEO guide How to choose long-tail keywords Some people have their own Woocommerce or Shopify stores and are looking for alternatives to paid advertising. 2 approaches to eCommerce SEO Approach 1: “How do I rank my chess set at the top of Google?” That's highly competitive and you'll have to constantly stay ahead of the competition with expensive SEO.

Delova komentatorja sta tokrat razpravljala o tem, kaj prinaša tretja vlada Janeza Janše. Mandatarja očitno imamo. Tri stranke so dobile svoj da, je na začetku debate Od srede do srede dejal Janez Markeš. A komentatorja sta se takoj nato vrnila v leto 2018. Eno od temeljih vprašanj je takrat namreč bilo: Ali boste šli v koalicijo z Janezom Janšo, če zmaga? To je bilo vprašanje, ki se je zdelo morda celo bolj pomembno od programskih točk. Rekli so ne. In zaradi tega takrat Janševa koalicija ni mogla biti postavljena. Je torej ta preobrat danes sporen, se je vprašal Ali Žerdin. Da, v vsakem primeru, je odgovoril Janez Markeš. A Janša za to ni nič kriv. Janez Janša je pač nekdo, ki gradi svoje papeško cesarstvo, nekdo, ki ne priznava laične vloge države, in čaka, da pridejo sprti fevdalci, ki se ne morejo zmeniti med seboj, kako bi si razdelili to oblast, nazaj k njemu ter ga prosijo, da vzpostavi enotnost. In Janša je mojster enotnosti, mojster v tem, da je, kar je. Vsi vedo, kaj to pomeni. Ko ne ostane nič drugega, se kot ovce vrnejo k njemu. Janša je čakal in dočakal. Marjan Šarec je računal na neko dinamiko, ki pa se ni zgodila. Komentatorja sta govorila tudi o voditeljih strank, ki so podpisali koalicijsko pogodbo z Janšo – niso namreč isti, ki so jo podpisali s Šarcem. Markeš je dodal, da so trenutni voditelji strank, ki so šle z Janšo v koalicijo, popolnoma brezoblični, brez osebnosti. Po Markeševem mnenju bo največji osmoljenec v vladi, ki se sestavlja, NSi.

In Jan. 2020, we were invited to do a podcast with the hosts of the Doubts Aloud podcast. The original episode has already been published on their channel. We are publishing the same episode on our channel, with their permission. The conversation surrounded apostasy, and those parts of the Quran that didn't make sense to the hosts. It was a very respectful and enjoyable dialogue.

Heute wartet eine Geburtstagsspecial-Folge auf euch und wir freuen uns sehr, dass ihr so tatkräftig an dieser mitgewirkt habt. Wir haben euch gefragt, ob ihr Fragen an Dori anlässlich ihres 31. Geburtstags (03.02.) habt und ja - ihr hattet EINIGE:). Wir wünschen euch ganz viel Lachen, Erkenntnisse und Freude mit der Folge! ००००००००००००००००००००००००००००००० Die Fragen in der Reihenfolge in der sie gestellt wurden: 1. Was war bisher das größte Highlight in deinen Leben? 2. Was ist deine schönste Kindheitserinnerung? 3. Was war dein Berufswunsch als Kind? 4. Hast du aktuell ein Vorbild? 5. Welche Person inspiriert dich? 6. Was ist eine Sache, die du noch erreichen oder tun möchtest in deinem Leben? 7. Bereust du etwas in deinem Leben? 8. Was ist etwas das jeder am Anfang seiner spirituellen Journey/Reise tun soll? 9. Welche Bücher (zum Thema Persönlichkeitsentwicklung) kannst du, Dori, empfehlen? Was sind deine Favorits? 10. Hast du selber bereits Coachings in Anspruch genommen? 11. Was war der Grund für deine persönliche Weiterentwicklung bzw. dein „wunder Punkt“, der dich auf diesen Weg gebracht hat? 12. Dori, was hat dich dazu bewogen, dein Leben nicht mehr dem Konsum, also Shopping und Beauty, zu widmen sondern dich mehr z.B. auf Nachhaltigkeit und die „wesentlichen“ Dinge im Leben zu konzentrieren? 13. Wie gehts du mit dem Thema Tod um? 14. Was ist dein Geheimrezept für eine gute Beziehung zum Partner? 15. Habt ihr ein gemeinsames Ritual? 16. Glaubst du, du wärst deinen jetzigen Weg auch gegangen, wenn Jan „noch nicht so weit“ gewesen wäre mitzugehen bzw. seinen Weg auch neu zu gehen? 17. In Jan hast du deinen Seelenpartner gefunden. Wenn aber Jan unerreichbar für dich gewesen wäre, weil er z.B. ein berühmter Tennisspieler gewesen wäre, du aber trotzdem intuitiv gespürt hättest, dass du ihn kennenlernen solltest, wie wäre dann deine Strategie, um auch Jan die Möglichkeit zu eröffnen, dich als Person überhaupt zu sehen? 18. Siehst du Jan auch mal ohne Kopfbedeckung? ;-) 19. Wie baut man Vertrauen auf? 20. Wenn du merkst, dass dir Personen nicht gut tun. Wie würdest du mit dieser Situation umgehen? 21. Wieso ist uns die Meinung anderer Menschen so wichtig? 22. Manche Entscheidungen fallen mir schwer und oft brauch ich eine Zustimmung ob ich auch tatsächlich richtig gehandelt habe oder lass direkt jemanden anderen entscheiden, weil ich dann besser damit umgehen kann. Wie kann man für sich selbst genau hinterfragen, ob die Entscheidung richtig ist? 23. Wie sortiert man sich am besten, wenn der Kopf fast Platz vor Ideen? 24. Was hilft dir dabei zu starten, auf das wichtigste zu fokussieren, wie gliedert du den Anfangsprozess? 25. Wie gehst du damit um, wenn sich deine Welt und auch Sichtweise auf diese durch deine persönliche Weiterentwicklung verändert und es Menschen gibt, die den Weg so mit dir nicht weitergehen möchten? 26. Was glaubst du, wie groß ist welcher Anteil in dir an Idealist und Opportunist und warum? 27. Wie gehst du mit einer persönlichen Krise um? 28. Liebe Dori, falls du irgend einmal Kinder haben solltest, welche 3 Werte würdest du ihnen weiter geben? ०००००००००००००००००००००००००००००००० Hast du Interesse an einem persönlichen Coaching mit Dori? Dann schau gerne bei hier vorbei https://empiremymind.com/coaching/ oder schreibe eine Mail an doreen.kascha.coaching@gmail.com und ich, Dori, melde mich bei dir. ०००००००००००००००००००००००००००००००० Empire your mind & Namaste, Dori & Jan

As apart of the rapid growth of our Business I sought out coaching to deal with the expansion. Last I need is for this to break and come crashing down. In Jan 2019 ProPhysio+ was solely based in Truganina. In April 2019 we added our Kyneton location and Point Cook in October 2019. We are also opening location #4 early 2020! Talk about growth!

This is AdapNation’s first solo Podcast, almost 2 years in! I (Steve) will be sharing all the details and current personal experiences with my last and final dieting phase, as my ambitious two year body transformation comes to an end. In Jan 2018, I publicly declared my body goal, and have been hard at work for the last two years working towards this aspirational physique. The journey ends with a photoshoot on 11th December 2019 at the AdapNation Gym. So, I’d better trim off the excess fat! In this shorter episode, I share with you how I am going about losing 13lbs in 5 weeks, whilst retaining my muscle mass and getting photoshoot ready.  As always, it’s a transparent and honest insight into my experiences, and not just some theory on how to lose weight. I give you the full scoop, so you can go about doing something similar if you fancy it.   Here’s what I cover:

In the  fourth episode of Podcast MD by Ketto featured is Ms. Smriti Shivdasani. Smriti  lost her mother to cancer and 8 years later, she herself was diagnosed  with breast cancer. Having lost both her parents to cancer, Smriti began  questioning everything in her life. In Jan 2019 she was diagnosed with  4th stage cancer. She had already been through 2 bouts of cancer in 2012  and Jan 2018 affecting different parts of her body. But she put up a  fight again and survived cancer the third time. She  believes it was because of her Buddhist practices that imparted her  with the strength to sustain the will to live. She believes that it is  important to let go of all the negativity and judgments to heal the body  from diseases. She says she blended a bit of Hooponopono, a Hawaiian  healing technique with Jin Shin Jyutsu, a Japanese art of balancing the  meridian along with Donna Eden's methods of balancing energies to set  her body on the path to recovery. Also, if you have a similar story you believe can be a source of inspiration for others, then you could be our next guest. Write to us at mystory@ketto.org.

Greetings Gunn Runner Life in Atlanta is finally settling down, at least a little bit. I'm starting to get ahead on podcasts, book local gigs, and I have news about my next album. I'll even tell you the name... First, my blog is becoming packed. I always considered blogs to be very important for any entrepreneur, especially musicians. Once upon a time, when Google was trying not to be evil, it was a great source of traffic. That's no longer the case. But it is still important. That's why I'm keeping the blog updated. I post most of my podcasts there. I'm starting to share my newsletter there. But I'm also getting back to just blogging to share new interesting things in my career. So if you haven't check it out in a while, please head on over. PODCASTS Andrew and I are trying to release a monthly Brobdingnagian Bard Podcast. We've been mostly successful. But we've also been trying to come up with fun and unique and regular content for our Nagians Only Club. We finally have that. Members of the Bards Patreon page now get to hear us talk about individual songs from our CDs. And more. We recorded two last week. The first is online. So if you're a fan of the Bards, I think you'll enjoy these short bits. The Pub Songs Podcast is now on its every other week schedule. I'm starting to plan ahead for that show. I'm also planning episodes of its sister podcast Stories from the Road. This one is exclusive to $5+ members of the Gunn Runners Club. Twice a week, I am chatting about songs or travels or thoughts in my head. And I share them in podcast form on Monday and Friday. And yes, this is now a part of that schedule. But most of them are private. Just for my generous supporters like you! The latest Pub Songs Podcast tackles the new Celtic Invasion Vacations itinerary. I finally published it online. But it's short. So I go into more detail to try and help you better understand what kind of fun we will have in Italy next year. Because that's where we're going... The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is gearing up for the holidays. I did a Celtic Halloween episode. I shared a couple years of feedback that I hadn't before published. And I answer the question "Why do I use the term Celtic music" for the podcast. I also hope to have the first of two Celtic Christmas Podcast episodes coming out in a couple weeks. I kinda wonder why I do this podcast. But a couple new episodes a year is not too bad a thing for the good will it provides. Hunting Dragons is a new podcast. Actually, it is the old Pirates vs Dragons podcast I released a few years back to promote the CD. The feed had issues and was killed by iTunes. I fixed all that and renamed it. You can now listen to the true story of how I was shanghaied by air pirates to hunt dragons.

In Jan 2019, we at The Hoxo Group launched our own recruitment agency called Konex. Konex was born out of a common belief that many of the best recruiters come from previous sales careers in other industries, yet there was a lack of proactivity around sourcing this talent (both actively and passively). The Co Founders Adam and Tommy were previously working in property and fitness sales before joining agency recruitment and both enjoyed a successful transition and subsequent careers. So working alongside Hoxo Media, Adam and Tommy made the decision to focus on finding more people just like themselves and bring them into the best agencies in the industry. In this episode the boys are honest about the reality of  - Starting their agency in a new market - How leveraging Hoxo's brand helped them hit the ground running  - Their innovative ‘event based' recruitment model - And why they are so passionate about making a difference to the industry that changed all of our lives. Season 2 of The RAG is coming later this summer - so stay tuned!

Today on the podcast I'm chatting with Co Creator of Authentic Adventure & Co Founder of The Firehouse Dream, Jasmine Jazzy Lopez. Jasmine is a storyteller, dreamer and executer. Her story is one of restoration and purpose fulfilled. Eight years ago she started her photography business, Jazi Photo and shortly after started a give back where she would photograph and share inspiring stories on her blog called #Clickforhope. In 2017, she felt as though she was being pulled in so many directions and in turn had separated herself from all things that brought her joy. This catapulted her journey in discovering her identity and determining how it ties to her purpose. In Jan of 2018, she rebranded and decided to share all of who she is in one space called Authentic Adventure. Jasmine and her husband, Jeremy, share the peaks and valleys of life with their 3 beautiful girls as they pursue their passions. Jasmine & Jeremy recently purchased a firehouse in the west Chicago Suburb of Maywood to create the non profit, The Firehouse Dream. Their hope is for this space to become a catalyst for youth through teaching creative skills and financial literacy. Note: This podcast was pre-recorded. Jasmine's husband, Jeremy, has now left his full-time position in worship leadership to freelance in worship leader. Jasmine recently returned from her first trip to Mexico on her journey in understanding & learning more about her culture and identity.

GUEST BIO: Ali Spittel is a self-taught software engineer who has the job of teaching other people how to code at General Assembly DC’s Web Development Immersive program.  Before that she was a software engineer at Optimus.  Ali also blogs about code and her life as a developer. EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Ali Spittel is Phil’s guest on today’s show. In Jan 2019, she became a Software Engineer and Developer Advocate for the DEV Community. Prior to this, she spent nearly 2 years teaching others to code as a Lead Instructor for General Assembly DC. Ali started her IT career working as a software engineer. Currently, she is Director of the DC Chapter of Women Who Code. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (1.00) – So Ali, can you expand on that brief introduction and tell us a little bit more about yourself? Ali explains that she started her career as a software engineer, focusing on the stack. Mostly working on data visualization and processing applications. Later, she became a full-time coding teacher at General Assembly. Recently, she has taken on a new hybrid role as a software engineer developer advocate for Dev.to. (1.52) Phil asked her how she had ended up in that particular role. For Ali landing the role was a natural progression. She was already well known within the community, had experience of teaching, public speaking and writing. She had also worked as a software developer. So, when the role came up she realized that she ticked all of the boxes and tried to land the job. The fact that, for a while, she had been an active member on the platform and was good friends with some of the DEV people also helped. Interestingly, much of the material she published on Dev.to came from her blog. Cross-posting like this enabled her blog to gain traction and led to the DEV team to work on special projects with them. (1.52) – Phil asks Ali how she ended up teaching code. Ali explains that she was a guest lecturer at the General Assembly. She was also heavily involved with the coding community. Plus, even in college she had written a lot of content. A habit that gets you used to crunching down what you are learning and representing it in a way that is easier for others to understand. Basically, teaching, so for her becoming an actual teacher was natural. (3.24) Phil asks Ali how her new role came about. Again, that happened largely because she had decided to share what she was learning. She did that mainly through her blog, which she had never thought would amount to much. At one point she stumbled upon the DEV website and started to cross-post her work. Gradually, her blog posts gained traction. She also did a couple of one-off projects for DEV and some workshops. So, when a position came along she was a natural fit. (4.45) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the audience? Ali’s advice is to find ways to teach others what you are learning. Doing so benefits you and others in many different ways. Firstly, you become a resource for others. You also make some great connections and really bond with those who are learning from you. Later, you are able to learn from them and ask them from advice about areas you have yet to explore. Teaching enables you to establish yourself as an expert in your field. This in turn increases the rate at which your content is shared and makes it far easier to find work. Working out how to explain something to others is also a great way to solidify your own knowledge. It was especially helpful for Ali because she was largely self-taught. She knew what to do, but, not necessarily why it had to be done that way. Repeatedly, going over the curriculum deepened her own IT knowledge. She also found that her students came up with questions that made her think about things in different ways. This drives you on and pushes you to dig deep. There are so many different ways to teach. It is not just about standing up in a classroom. These days, you end up doing it through public speaking, online, as a mentor, in the workplace and in many other ways. (7.28) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? Ali’s worst moment actually happened while she was still studying. She fell in love with coding and decided to take a double major in computer science. But, for some reason, when she started taking the C++ course, things did not gel for her. It did not matter how many hours she worked at it she just could not get good results. After struggling through for a long time, she admitted defeat and gave up, which was a real low point for her. Luckily, she ended up falling back into it about six or seven months later. It turned out that taking a break was what she had needed. When she came back to coding again it all clicked and she was able to pursue a career that she really enjoys. That experience taught her that learning is a roller coaster. There are peaks and valleys, sometimes the valleys seem to go on forever. When that happens, it is important not to become disheartened. Instead, take a short break and come back to it with a fresh perspective. (9.44) – Phil asks Ali about her best career moment. For Ali, seeing her students succeed is what she enjoys the most. She knows that, over the years, she has helped thousands of people to learn what they need to know to build cool things. (10.44) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The fact that what we can build using tech is limitless is very cool and exciting. Programming touches everything we touch. It really is a part of every aspect of our lives.  (12.10) – What drew you to a career in IT? Really, this happened by accident when she ended up taking a computer science class as an extra credit hour. She loved it, got hooked on Python and went from there. (12.55) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? Always be learning. Keep staying on top of all of the new things that are coming out. Also, don’t be afraid of breaking things, that is inevitable when you are learning. (13.34) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Ali says that she really wishes she had been introduced to programming earlier and in a fun way. It would have been really cool to learn how to code in a low-pressure environment instead of an academic setting. (14.16) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? Ali’s new role means that she will need to get back into coding. Moving back into writing production code is going to be a big transition for her. She will also need to step up her public speaking and writing and get more involved in community outreach. So, right now, most of her energy is focused on settling into her new role and excelling at it. (14.58) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? Ali has found that having strong people skills has really helped her to progress. For example, having good relationships with others in the industry has made finding work far easier for her. Often, she has been able to land jobs without having to go a formal application process. This is part of the reason she recommends that people take the time to attend a range of events. Doing so develops your people skills and makes it really easy to connect with others. (16.31) – Phil asks Ali to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. Ali says her advice is– start teaching. Just start off in a small way and go from there. Speak at a meetup, write one blog post or send out a tweet that teaches people something. It does not matter what it is, just get started. BEST MOMENTS: (5.40) ALI – “When you teach, people start looking at your content and sharing it and seeing you as somebody that is really knowledgeable" (6.44) ALI – "Teaching has been incredibly pivotal for me, career-wise, for so many reasons." (9.29) ALI – "Learning is such a roller coaster. There are so many peaks and valleys in it" (11.39) PHIL – "As the industry matures, even more, the problems that we are able to solve are much more complex" (13.03) ALI – "It’s so important in our field in general, to always be furthering your own knowledge, and staying on top of the new things.” CONTACT ALI: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ASpittel LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aspittel/ Website: https://www.alispit.tel

2018 was dubbed the "Year of the Woman" because of the #MeToo Movement and the Women's March. And, this year seems to be a continuation of that momentum, especially in the political arena. In Jan we saw the highest percentage of female congressional members in our nation's history sworn in as apart of the 116th Class of Congressional Delegates. This insurgence of women in the political spectrum is due in large part to the #Metoo Movement and the Women's March. However, what are some of the other driving forces behind this increase in women in the political arena? Will we see this trend continue? What are the greatest challenges facing women moving forward? We discuss these questions and many more with the Political Activist, Champion of Female Empowerment, Noted Speaker and Minister Reverend Marcia Dyson. This is an in-depth and impactful conversation about the subject of "Women In Politics" with someone who has been fighting for women's rights for many years. In our discussion, we talk about new Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, what should we do about Trump, we will ever see a Woman President and a whole more. You don't want to miss part 1 of the power-pack conversation.

Steve is the author and founder of Lifeonaire.  Teaching thousands of people how to live and experience abundant lives.  He has flipped over 500 houses in his investing career and helps investors to transform their businesses from life sucking to life giving ventures. As a teenager, Steve was building his own businesses. At the age of 21, Steve bought a restaurant and bar as his first real estate investment. Without going into detail, it didn’t end up being a long-term success. But he was able to get started in this highly competitive industry at a young age and set a great foundation for his future! When Steve turned 25 he bought another bar that ended up working much better for him. He used creative real estate investing techniques to get it. Once the bar was his, he thought he would be on easy street raking in the wealth. It should come as no surprise to anyone who’s run a business that what he thought was not the case. “Turns out,” Steve says, “all I did was buy myself two jobs. I was lucky if I could pay myself for one!” When the second bar went under, Steve found himself deep in debt with terrible credit. Not knowing what to do, he started working a day job with a steady paycheck. While getting paid for his work felt good, having someone working over him did not. “When someone else was dictating my life, that entrepreneurial spirit was starting to fire up again,” Steve mentions. That was when he made the decision to becoming a successful real estate investor. However, Steve barely had an income, was deep in debt, and terrible credit. What was he going to do? With everything going against him, Steve started doing his homework. He studied successful methods and researched different types of investing. Wholesaling appealed to Steve because you didn’t need good credit to start, you didn’t need a lot of money, and you didn’t need the means to flip a house. It took him about 8 months to get his first deal closed, but he didn’t give up. That first deal was it for Steve. Real estate investing is mostly a mind game, and he understood that now. When the first deal was closed, Steve started getting offers within the first 48 hours. The man he ended up selling to took him on as an acquisitions manager, finding 7 houses in 6 weeks for his new partner. Steve came back with an eighth property that got rejected. Instead of letting it go, Steve flipped that property to someone else and made a profit off of it himself. When he made the full profit from that sale, Steve knew what he was going to do with the rest of his life. He was going to become a successful real estate investor. In his first 2 years of real estate investing, Steve flipped 105 houses! At the end of the day, taking action is about being motivated. Steve was motivated to reach financial freedom, he never stopped, and he made it happen. There’s nothing more important in real estate investing than that. After 2 years, Steve realized that working with a partner wasn’t for him. In Jan 2001, he made $40,000 with his partner. “At that time I only needed $25,000 to get by,” Steve explains, “My lifestyle was very lean.” When he began working on his own, Steve easily made more than that in the first few months. One month made $60,000, then the next month he made $70,000. He didn’t know what to do with all of this money, so he decided to give back. Steve found people in the community who offered to help him organize his income to live comfortably and to give back. Since he was making a great living now, they suggested for him to buy his own home. Steve bought a 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath house on a 5 acre lot in Baltimore as a single guy in his mid to late twenties. That’s amazing! After that, Steve put together his rental portfolio, bought himself a vacation home, and went from having zero assets to over 7 million dollars in assets in just 3 short years. Seeing his success, Steve started getting people coming to him for training. People were flying across the country to be coached by Steve. “In the back of my mind,” he tells, “I’m thinking ‘they don’t really want what I’ve got’. I don’t feel successful yet.” Realizing he was happier before getting all of his properties and assets and worth, Steve was at a loss. He finally figured out that, although he had all of these things now, he didn’t have a life. Real estate investing is time consuming. Steve quickly saw that he was spending all of his time running his real estate investing business and not doing much else for himself. One week there were 2 gentlemen who approached Steve asking him to teach them how to become a millionaire. He responded simply with, “Why do you want to be a millionaire?” To which both men replied: “So I can be a better father and husband.” Steve told them a piece of great advice. He said, “You don’t need to be a millionaire to be a good father or husband. That’s done in the choices you make. Do the things that good fathers and husbands do, and you’ll be that.” Needless to say, they didn’t like that answer. Steve was contemplating why these men thought they needed to be millionaires to be good people and heard the word “Lifeionaire” come to him. That’s what those men wanted to be, not millionaires. They wanted to experience an abundant life and they believed that money would get them there. Money is just a vehicle. Having lots of money wasn’t the goal, having a great life is. Once Steve understood that, he was able to become a successful Lifeionaire, instead of just a real estate investor.

In Jan. 2014, Jackie Vernon-Thompson, Founder and President of From the Inside-Out School of Etiquette LLC, was inspired by the Holy Spirit to create a school that teaches girls to perform at their optimum. In our fast-paced society, there is a definite need for this service. Jackie has earned a Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Business focusing on Communications. A certified Etiquette Consultant for the International community, Jackie has worked with girls in the urban and suburban communities for many years and is blessed with the ability to meet each girl where she is in order to be effective. For several years, she has been afforded the opportunity to conduct etiquette skills and self-enhancement workshops at her church for a girl’s group called the Pearlettes. From the Inside-Out School of Etiquette LLC works with each girl internally, with her attitude, what she thinks of herself, the standards she has set for herself and any self-inflicting faults created. Once those concerns and others are addressed, there is a strong possibility that she will be a changed young lady, for the better, from the inside out. Jackie also believes in philanthropy and has, in many cases, shared her gift of teaching etiquette and self-enhancement classes at various venues. It is her prayer that every lesson taught will resonate with each girl for life. Parents today are experiencing such busy schedules and sometimes do not have the opportunity to teach their daughters the necessary etiquette and life skills. The desire of every parent is that their daughter grows to become a well-rounded, respectful young lady and one who will superbly perform in any environment. Unfortunately, the day just doesn’t seem to have enough hours. "Where did the time go?" you ask yourself. Let From the Inside Out School of Etiquette, LLC. be a part of the village to raise your daughter.

In Jan 2013 a new church began in London - with singing, a sermon and a great sense of community - but its for godless people.  Atheist stand up comedian Sanderson Jones who co-founded "the Sunday Assembly" talks about its first meeting and why it exists.

Playliste de John Zorn pour webSYNradio : ESSENTIAL UBU. In Jan of 2011, Dominique Balaÿ of webSYNradio asked me to make a playlist from the incredible online sound archives of UBUWEB. What I have chosen does not work as a running radio show but is a recommendation of important sound documents that should be listened to in your own time. The artists have been listed alphabetically. Many of these pieces are quite lengthy, and will require commitment. Tracks that are 3 minutes or so are listed in BOLD and can be more easily digested. J

Over the past decade there have been numerous stories about overcrowded ERs. One way many communities addressed such overcrowding was to divert ambulances away from overcrowded hospitals to less busy ones that had available room and resources to treat patients. In Jan 2009, Massachusetts became first state to successfully ban the practice of ambulance diversion. Virtual Mentor spoke with Dr. Stephen Epstein of Harvard Medical School about the Massachusetts ban and what other communities can learn from one state's experience.
