Its September 2019 and the Fed just cut interest rates again. Before we get started let me first say, "This has nothing to do with politics. It has everything to do with looking at the world in terms of 'how it actually works'." I'm well aware of the employment numbers and all those statistics; however, by understanding some basic principles about debt and interest rates, we are able to dig into what the Fed interest rate cut actually means for our economy.

It's September 7, 2019. Loop No. 344. A loop where sentient robots doesn't exist (yet) and all primitive appliances and gadgets are the rave. A loop where private investigators are highly respected. Where water is unfortunately "out" and yogurt flows like honey. Where culinary dreams do come true through the spirit of crowdsourced education. Where streaming is finally a possibility by the Good Trades Brigade. This loop existed thanks to one joyful event which was now known to everyone as "The Sweet Knee in the 27th Floor". The Knee that changed the world. Forever. This is Good Trades 44.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast we have a great show for you. It's September, a new school year here in Florida. I always love to think of my time as an academic year, and before I get started, it's great to look back over the summer. This year I again got to go to London, Amsterdam, and Toronto, and while in Amsterdam for our 4th annual Breakthrough Blueprint event with my good friend Elko de Boer, one of the things that we do is record our Periodic Podcast. It's a kind of 'year in marketing' review for both of us. We talked about a lot of the things that we've done over the last 12 months, compare notes, reflect on our successes, and talk about what we see for the future. It's a delightful episode to listen to, and it's a nice thing to set the scene on my marketing world view as I look forward to November this year when I go to Australia and do the same thing with James Schramko. I always love talking with Eelco, and this is a great episode with lots of ideas for the year ahead.   Show Links:Show TranscriptProfitActivatorScore.com     Want to be a guest on the show?

What' up podcast! Things are heating up!  It's September and every day that goes by is a day closer to the bonanza called AEP.   Today's episode is some raw audio from a side bar conversation that took place between me and a new agent (shout out to Amanda!).  In it we discuss the edge we give agents who work with Legacy by being a source of knowledge and experience, closing Medicare business and how being nothing more than a professional prospector is the ultimate game one plays in this business and how winning that game leads to winning in insurance sales.

Hey there - I am still alive! Seasonality got me... In the heat of a summer season in the powersports business, I put the podcast on the rear most burner for a month. Sorry about that! But, as we know we experience some pretty strong seasonality in this business. It's September. My kids are just now back in school. The days are getting (noticeably) shorter. What changes are you making in your business? How are you preparing for Fall & Winter 2019? The year is 75% over according to the calendar so I wanted to get the pulse from you listeners on how your 2019 is looking and what you are planning for last quarter of 2019 and into 2020? (insert your 20/20 vision reference here! Lol). Thanks for missing me. I got a couple messages asking where the heck I was. I appreciate that. It means this little podcast and the thoughts we have in it mean something to some other people. I take that seriously. The podcast has now been moved from rear burner to front! And the bigger and better front burner - you know what I'm talking about! Please share this podcast and please share with me, some ideas for future sessions or people you'd like to hear from. More coming soon! Thanks for listening!

It's September??! Whaaaaat? Where did time go? It's crazy how we forget that all this time that we spend is important. Waiting for this one day to make it our best or to get somewhere is an illusion. Sometimes we save our best work for a certain time in the future yet we are losing time. All this time in the middle is also our life!In this episode, I talk about how you can make things fun while challenging yourself. Also, please don't settle for this version of yourself. Keep pushing yourself because I truly believe all of us have limitless potential. If you choose to be okay with things and aim for mediocrity, you will get mediocre results. Please don't be afraid of challenging yourself even if you fail a few times. I hope you like the episode.

It's like, you drink straight from the bottom right now I've been making whiskey sours with it. 0:48 Been there 1:01 Everyone it is Episode 215 of bourbon pursuit. I'm one of your host Kenny. And as usual, we've got a little bit of news to run through. For anyone that has been paying attention to the bourbon scene and social media for the past two years, you may have been seeing some turmoil within the bullet family. Tom bullets daughter Hollis b worth has made numerous public claims about her father being homophobic and it led to her separation with theology, where she felt she wasn't being compensated properly for helping build the brand. This week the Herald Leader at Kentucky com broke the news that Tom bullet has now taken a step back as the face the company and will not be representing the brand after New claims have emerged of sexual abuse and pedophilia by his daughter Hollis. On August 13. Paula's told her story on Hollis be official calm that her father has been protected from Dr. ZO for these crimes. A spokesperson for Dr. Joe said the company took worth his claims about her father very seriously and began an internal 1:59 investigation after receiving a letter stating all this from her attorney, the audio found no indication that anyone at the audio has been made previously aware of such claims. According to a spokesperson for the company. In an interview, Tom bulleit said the accusations are terrible, they're false and they need to be addressed and they are just drinks calm has reported a resolution was reached at the start of 2018, which saw worth receive a payment of around $1.2 million. corresponding the amount Dr. Sue says she would have received had her contract been renewed equal to the five year deal as well as unpaid overtime. You can read more about this story from the Herald Leader and just drink calm with the link in our show notes. Castle and key distillery has discharged an unknown quantity of untreated wastewater last Thursday August 15 into Glens Creek, killing an unknown number of fish and this was all reported by state environmental officials. Castle and key told the investigators 3:00 Its water treatment system had failed sending untreated oxygen depleting waste directly into the creek. The discharge was stopped around four o'clock pm, about two hours after the state officials received report. lab results are pending on the affected Creek water. Potential penalties could reach $25,000 per violation per day. But the state won't decide a penalty until the case can actually meet with the company and determine more about what happened. Castle and key confirm the incentive in a statement that they had issued. So those are kind of grim, but let's kind of switch it up a little bit and talk about something positive because this week's we selected not one but two barrels at will at distillery that will be bottled as well at family estate. And this is just on the heels of last week's announcement saying that we have two barrels that will be bottled as pursuit series. It was another hot Kentucky date reaching around 96 degrees but we powered through to select one bourbon and one ride. Central Kentucky tours was our ride and took us from 4:00 lovin to the Willett campus. The group asked to start off slow and build up during our tasting. So we tried 207 proof entry, high corn mash bills. Then this was a little bit lightened body the first one so drew tapped into a second barrel that was on the other side of the warehouse that had a lot more of the oak influence because it sat where the sun was just beating down on it. We then headed over to another floor to try the weeded mash bill. And the third barrel was something special because it didn't have a sweet taste that you would expect Instead, it was kind of spicy, come to find out that barrel used 25% of a ride back set to its sour mash process. We are unsure if we were able to find another barrel is unique is that but we pressed on, we headed out to the fifth floor where it was easily 110 degrees. We got a poor of the OG mash bill and then headed back down to the fourth floor to cool off. This bourbon just had the depth and the punch that you would expect from a Willett family state 125% 5:00 Entry just gave way to loads of flavors and oak tannins. It was a crowd favorite. After that was selected that we move on to the rise where we came away with a fantastic one after only trying three. It was a high rye rye mash bill and will be seven years old when bottle. These will all be available to our Patreon community here in just a few months. Thank you to Willett distillery and drew for hosting us. Thank you to Central Kentucky tours for hauling us around and big things to keg and bottle for making this barrel selection available to us. Learn more about Central Kentucky tours and keg and bottle with the links in our show notes. today's podcast is all about the cocktail. For myself. I love cocktails, especially when I go out to dinner because being a fluent bourbon drinker, you know what it costs for some basic Bourbons on that back wall. So instead, I like to take in the drink culture and try something new that may only be available to that particular restaurant. And the bourbon culture has been getting a big boost from bartenders. 5:59 Creating fantastic concoctions. And that's why we invited Molly Wellmann and Bill Whitlow to come on the show. As we start winding down summer and heading into fall, you're going to get a better understanding of a bartenders mindset and how cocktails change in the menu. And if you got a favorite cocktail during a specific season, let's hear the comments on YouTube or Facebook. Now, let's get on with the show. Here's Joe from barrel bourbon. And then you've got Fred Minnick with above the char. 6:28 It's Joe from barrell bourbon, myself and our master distiller a trip Simpson spend weeks choosing barrels to create a new batch. We meticulously sample every barrel and make sure the blend is absolutely perfect. Find out more at barrel bourbon calm. I'm Fred Minnick, and this is above the char 2019 has been a very bad year for whiskey, not from a sales perspective or even a quality angle. Actually, domestic sales are nice, and I've tasted a lot of great new releases. I'm speaking about the news from the international terrorists crossing distillers. 6:59 Millions to the bulleit family drama that led to Tom bulleit stepping down whiskies been a daily soap opera this year finding itself trending for all the wrong reasons. For example, last week video surfaced of MMA star Conor McGregor pouring shots for folks at a Dublin bar. The crowd skewed older and didn't really seem to be into the celebrity when Connor offered shots of his proper 12 whiskey. One man hunkered over the bar didn't want one or said something to Connor. I don't know what really happened, but like a cobra striking McGregor's fist hit the side of the man's head. It happened so fast that I missed the punch and wouldn't have seen it if TMC didn't zoom in and slow motion it indeed. McGregor is a professional fighter and is lightning quick, but he punched an old man over a dispute with his whiskey. That's a true turd move. But for me, the story isn't just about McGregor. It's the fact somebody partnered with him knowing of the potential 8:00 consequences and put whiskey in the bottle he represented proper 12 is awful, by the way, and nobody really viewed McGregor's incident as a whiskey story. Rather, it's a celebrity story. But for those of us who cover whiskey professionally, we often get pulled into covering these things and it takes away the romance and the fun of a good drink. And I hate it. I can pinpoint the exact moment when my bourbon innocence was lost when covering the theft of the Pappy Van Winkle and wild turkey bottles and barrels. A few years ago, I studied the police reports and saw that one of the arrested persons was suspected of possessing child pornography. Up until that point, even covering the illegal activity surrounding whiskey was fun. After that, I realized that not even our beloved spirit is protected from shit bags. And I often finally look back to the moment just before I learned the evils of some when whiskey was just about the grains, water yeast stills barrels 9:00 warehouses. How great it would be where I was just talking about the whiskey. Instead, we have the news of the day. And that's this week's above the char. Hey, did you know i curated a super cool auction for the speed museum? It's September 19, and called the art of bourbon. Learn more at speed museum.org that's speed museum.org Until next week, cheers. 9:29 Welcome back to the episode of bourbon pursuit the official podcast of bourbon for it and Kenny here making the trek to Northern Kentucky in the Covington area at a I don't know this is pretty fancy place. I'm surprised they haven't kicked us out yet. Yeah, this is like the the castle of the North for for Kentucky. So Northern Kentucky. We are with the queen of the North. So 9:52 it will introduce them in here in a second. But I mean, we're at the MIT club. I mean, I was just I was walking in I was like, usually kick people out like me in here. So it's 10:00 Well and normally I'm here routing Normally I'm dress for a place like this but not today. Not today no beach shirt hat and 10:09 socks I wore yesterday that you go on a vacation sometimes you kind of get into that mood you know actually no it's matter. 10:17 We had some some work done in the house today and I don't dress up for the repair man. 10:24 They don't get the they don't get the Sundays. They don't get the good Ascot. But today we're going to be talking about cocktails. And this is a really This was also a a listener inspired idea. Because bourbon is really starting to come in and be a big contributor to the cocktail culture. It You know, there's you talk to any distillery, they say, oh, like it's all about drinking a neat mixing of the cocktail. It's great for this and this and this. And it's also inspired, you know, a revolution of things that we've seen also with inside of pop culture with Manhattans and old fashions that have 11:00 Really kind of skyrocketed as some of the premier cocktails that are out there that are some are all whiskey focused. Yeah, I mean, this story is about, you know, 15 years old. But what it started to change in the evolution of bourbon cocktails is that people aren't trying to force it anymore in particular like ice for a long time. You saw people trying to create like a bourbon equivalent to the Margarita like that, you know, they don't have bourbon readers even had a bourbon Rita. It's it's not you can't 11:32 you know, so you're starting to see like true. 11:36 You know, people like focus more on bourbon that complements it that people are not trying to force it to be something it's not in bourbon and my opinion is not the most mixable spirit. You know, you definitely have some, you, you can't go everywhere with it. It's very finite. And that's one of the reasons why bourbon really struggled in the 60s was because they 12:00 We're trying to get people to mix it like they mix vodka. So they were they were promoting bourbon and orange juice, which did not really appeal to that audience. I don't think it appeals today now. So so the I think finally for the first time, 12:18 at least from what I've studied in the history of bourbon, I think we have finally found Bourbons place and the growth of the cocktail bar. And that's a great way to kind of introduce both our guests because both of our guests are really pioneering and spearheading a lot of the the cocktail culture around this area and around the United States as well. So today on the show, we have Molly Wellman. Molly is the owner of objects as well as Molly's brands and we've got bill Whitlow of riches proper in the cocktail creative consulting, so Molly and Bill, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you. So before we kick it off and talk about cocktails, kind of talk about your journey into spirits. Like how did it happen? 13:00 Because I'm sure that there's always always some good story behind this. Take it away You go first. 13:06 It's mine. I feel like mine's a little typical. I've been bartending for around 20 years, but for the longest time I was swinging out by visors and mega bombs and ski with steak houses with muddled old fashions and shakin Manhattan's and it's kind of what we did. 13:24 What until behind the bar for about probably 10 years before I went to New Orleans and had a size rack at you know, down in New Orleans at their moms. We had a real cocktail down there for a music festival and kind of opened my eyes a bit. And then when I moved to Louisville and started managing the bar at the seal Bach hotel, really got the chance to play around with like a real chef. Bobby Benjamin was a chef Tom and really get to play around with flavors and actually have a whole bar full of anything we wanted. We were a hotel that did tons of money, they didn't care what I bought, and they did 14:00 care what I wasted. So that was the first time I really got a chance to do whatever I wanted and play around. And that gave me a chance to do a lot of self discovery as well as learning from an amazing chef. Then when I went over into managing over at crows and mobile, 14:17 worked with a guy named Jackie from old force or Jackie's I can never heard of her. She taught me a lot about technique because I never I didn't take you know, teach myself that. And she taught me really how to start how to shake your proper dilution, things like that. And then, when I went on with a company called Goodfellas, pizzeria for a number of years, they kind of gave me complete autonomy. Let me kind of just run with it. And we were able to set up some really cool things there and just have a lot of fun with a lot of cocktails and expand past just the bourbon that they're known for, but also play around in all kinds of different realms. And 14:53 now here, we're going our own restaurant, MIMO life and yeah, play around and have more fun. Well, that's awesome. So it was 15:00 I know you'd mentioned your time down on Bourbon Street. You know, we all love New Orleans, maybe for different reasons than just the cocktails, but it's on the moves. It's a 15:10 Party City. But it was there a pivotal moment when you started seeing like bourbon become a key staple behind the bar. 15:20 Yes, before North when I started bartending, we were pretty high volume restaurant and nicer restaurant in town in Lexington. And we had four Bourbons behind behind the bar. And then I remember when I was at another Steakhouse within the same company, we had like 10 Bourbons behind the bar that was like 2003. And then like a year or two later, we expanded to like 20 Bourbons behind the bar and we got this thing called a lot be and I couldn't understand why, you know, when we sold out of it, that we weren't allowed to get any more I was like, so I'm going to just order more. We just need more of it before drinking it order. It was it was coming awakening, as I saw that growth and then 16:00 grew exponentially from there. Absolutely. Molly, let's hear your your coming of age tale here. Now I, you know, it's funny, I worked in high end retail forever. I worked I lived in San Francisco. And then I got into the service industry, I got kind of thrown behind the bar. And the only thing I knew how to make was in Manhattan, because I drank them all the time, because I was in high end retail. And that's the only thing that I like, saved me. Anyway, when I throw it in, I was like, just push the Manhattans. It's the only thing I had to make. But I grew, you know, I learned how to make different drinks and stuff, not not to the craft and classic cocktails that 16:39 I've known for now. But 16:42 when I moved back to Cincinnati, in like, 10 years ago, I started this place called chalk. Right? Kind of like right over there. 16:50 And they were like, We need somebody who can do craft and classic cocktails. I'm like, Oh, I could totally do that. I had no idea. But I went home, googled it and I fell down the rabbit hole and that was it. 17:00 I loved every bit of it. I studied, I read every old cocktail book I get my hands on. I love the idea that I love the thing that every single drink seemed to have a story. And I loved that I could, you know, learn history through cocktails. I just loved it. So 17:19 I've I've never looked back. So it's been 11 years now that I've been doing craft and classic cocktails. And I love studying I'm still I love writing about them. I love 17:31 still entertaining people behind the bar. You know, they get a drink, they get a story with it. It's like my favorite thing. What kind of stuff can you study with a cocktail? I mean, you said you that you study me? Like what? What kind of, I mean, is it like a history based? Is it just kind of knowing where the origins of it like what kind of talk about that? Kind of the origins? It's kind of it's almost like a treasure hunt. So I find it you know, I looked through old cocktail books from over 100 years ago. I love to read the first part of there's something about like, how 17:59 Baraka 18:00 tenders really took this job so seriously, you know, it was such a 18:06 every aspect of the job is like laid out in the first, you know, folks the technique or the first part, you know, part of the cocktails, the techniques, the glassware, the ingredients that were used, you know, it's fascinating, you know, it really is, it's, it's the same but different than it is now, you know, and then going through some of the cocktail, some of them are boring. And you're like, well, that's exactly the same as this one except the Ito the measurements are a little different. 18:31 But then you come upon when you're like, Oh, that sounds so interesting. Why would I think about that, you know? And then I want to know everything about it, or it has a weird name and like, Well, why did they call it this? You know, I want to know, so then I start digging, and I start looking through your it's amazing, like all these different 18:48 resources, you can find that you can find the stories where this cocktail came from, or kind of get an idea of where in history and why they were drinking this certain cocktail. Does that make sense? Yeah, and one, one 19:00 story that we've we had a fun conversation about one time what was the Ricky yeah and like how that how the regular regularly this revived ever seen the movie get him to the creek Yes Yes What's a Jeffrey yeah 19:15 what's not going on that 19:18 share share with the audience this this is an example of of like how cool like cocktail history can be Molly share with us the story of the of the gin Ricky's and the Ricky. So the gin Ricky is really interesting one, there was a guy named Joe, Ricky, he was a veteran of the Civil War. And he was in Washington, you know, Washington DC, and he would go and he would drink every night at this bar called shoemakers, which isn't around anymore. But he had this idea like he had this idea of being healthy, you know, and he felt that sugar and sweet things would affect his his blood and make him sick, so he didn't like anything sweet. So the original 20:00 Ricky was not made with jet it was actually made with rye, rye and lime juice. He squeeze a half a lime in a glass drop in the Rhine, and then fill it with rye. It's kind of really disgusting with the right. Cassidy and then eventually it turned to, you know, to gin which is a lot better ice and then soda water on top and that's adyen Ricky and it has no sugar in it whatsoever. Now, the gin Ricky there's different kinds of gin. So the gin Ricky would usually always be made with an old Tom gin, which was sweetened gin, which is weird because he thought that sugar but I guess that didn't count with the old Thompson. But yeah, that's the Rickey pretty much in a nutshell. Let's see that see the the story there is 20:43 a bartender you know, was very focused on his health. And that, you know, he creates an entire style of cocktails. And oh, by the way, where he's, you know, his bar. He's probably influencing a lot of very important people for the time in DC. So yeah, 21:00 He actually wasn't a bartender. He was a he was a lobbyist. And he got the bartender at shoemakers to make this for him. So, I mean, but still to this day people in Washington DC drink gin Ricky's, it's like the best summer drink in Washington DC 21:14 kind of story. And we're already kind of leading on to the what we were talking about. It was like this is cocktails for the right occasion. And so you're talking about the summertime and having a gin Ricky and, and let's kind of hit some of those different seasons of the year. So you've already started off with summer. I think it's probably proved and we kind of just start there so we got gin Ricky, what other kind of cocktails are going to be good for an a just a little say a back porch drinking kinda kind of afternoon. How about that? You wake up. I'm pretty simple when it comes to summer cocktails. I love egg white cocktails. Yes. That know. My wife's language there. Yeah. And I'm, I'm trashed me. I have a sweet cocktail. 21:55 sweet wines. I'm not your normal. So I love sweet echo. 22:00 cocktails young whiskey hours. Yeah. I love biz's things like that. And then just, of course, whatever the bartender is going to come up with like, Pisco sours, I can show you one of my absolute favorite things in the world. Take Take one of your favorites right there and kind of kind of talk about some of the ingredients because I know a lot of our listeners are probably, they're curious, they hear that they hear the pisco sour. They hear some of these things with egg whites, but they kind of want to know like, what what what really entails into this that really like a craftsman such as you all could actually create. Welcome pisco sour. It's a classic from ru ga South America did simply uses simple syrup, lime juice, egg white and Pisco. Right now on our cocktail menu, we change it up just a little bit by throwing in a little bit of the Mexican side of the Doritos, the guava, and then throwing some real age tobacco and weather bitters on top and it changes the whole aspect that makes it slightly sweeter. We actually go to Apple in there as well to counterbalance 23:00 Some of the sweetness you're gonna put any CBD oil in there and, you know, I'll be honest, there's a there's a kind of a hippie Music Festival coming up in like a month. I know that's kind of how it is but we're thinking about making some CBD cocktail. 23:14 Going into that I got that hippie festival just why not? I haven't tried it before and I know it's a pretty upcoming thing. They were everywhere in Las Vegas and we went 23:24 sure of A is 23:26 like balloons filled with CBD air was like the world you know, you could do that, either. It's crazy. 23:35 actually had to like call the ABC office and make sure we are allowed to do that. No, and they're right. Yeah, we don't have anything against it. Yeah, yeah. They emphasized yet I could totally see you as a clever club guy. Ah, no, I think a good coworker. Yeah, I put that on the menu before just people didn't order so much. 23:58 Go for it. I love the clip. 24:00 I just had it on my menu. There you go. So the clover club is a classic from the night from 1900. And it was created for a gentleman's club that met every Thursday in Philadelphia at this hotel called the Stanford Bellevue hotel. Right? And like every one is like the last third has the third Thursday of every month they meet, and these guys would dress up to the nines and they would, you know, all have drinks before dinner. And then they would be led into this room that had this big table that was sheep in a clover clover, you know, set up you know, and they would have this like ceremony, you know, where the youngest member of the clover club would have to like, first sit in a baby chair is not a high chair. And until one of the members was like, okay, you can get up from the baby chair and this is it adults, you know, an adult man, and then he would have to go around with the clover club, sharing cup and then everyone would take a sip out of the 25:00 The clover club sharing cup. I still I have no idea what the drink is. But apparently the chef would come up with whatever concoction was in this like flowing cup, right? That would pass. I have no idea what it is. I can't find it. But then they sit down at dinner and through the courses, you know, it would be like, I think the second to last course they would have this cocktail or a punch. And in 1900 they had the clover club, which is a combination of gin, raspberry syrup, dry vermouth, and and then egg white. And it shaken, you know, so frothy, and it's this beautiful. It has like this beautiful, sweet flavor, but the driver who's kind of dries it out a bit. It's absolutely gorgeous. It really is. And I could totally see you. It's the it's one of my jams. Yeah. Now it evolved after prohibition, they kind of dropped the dry vermouth and then they put lemon with it so it kind of turned into a Pink Lady. So this cocktail it evolved, but it's fantastic. 25:55 We dug it I do both. So it depends on the 26:00 You know what's fancy? And yeah, I was like, it'd be hard to have Fred and I go to bar and order Pink Lady. I don't know. It's just, there's just something about the name. If you don't know anything about it, I think there's a I'm gonna drink a cocktail. It's gonna be a Pink Lady. 26:15 But if you did tell you that history of where it came from, you know, like, here's how this evolved. You know, it came from this gentleman's club. And but it goes for I mean, it wouldn't have it would have, it probably would have fizzled out if it wasn't for George Bush, who is the owner of that Stanford Bellevue hotel who went on to help open up that would have a story in New York and he brought that recipe with him making it popular. So really fascinating. That is fascinating. So that was summer we captured so are there a little bit. I got one more for summer because I'm a big fan of the gold rush. Are you what kind of workout kind of season Do you all see that? Any 26:54 say summer fall, but I mean, honey really falls anytime for me now. It's it's funny like I'm in a very 27:00 Similar favorite cocktails to brown derbies my favorite gold rush and brown Derby. kind of related. Can you all kind of talk about the the different components of each one of these as well as so our listeners understand that they're not sitting there googling like Oh crap, I don't know. I don't know what a because I'm not sure what a brown Derby is and I couldn't tell you everything that goes inside of a gold rush either. So so the brown Derby is bourbon, grapefruit juice and honey, it's really simple. But when you use the honey, you have to make sure that you water it down make the honey syrup because otherwise you will put honey into this drink and it will turn into a glob of a ball in the bottom of your drink because you're adding ice to it. So one part honey one part sugar, make a syrup or honey syrup and then it's about two ounces of bourbon. I put an ounce of 27:47 grapefruit and then half ounce of honey that's how I make my nice Yeah, yeah and you might have a history or better than this summer here a little bit on history but I mean honey sir win that. 27:58 fight about that like back in the day like 28:00 During the Tiki wars and we're trying to figure out how to recreate each other's cocktails and it was so simple as one person couldn't figure out how he was making that money nightclub open and a drink. Yeah, I had the formula. Yeah. It was Yeah, it was between I believe it was between Don the Beachcomber and 28:18 it was in all they had to do is add hot water 28:22 silly stupid little things that are so obvious and then you figure it out in your like your face palming because she figured out a long time ago so for Katie, you know, I know he's gonna follow up with this the Gold Rush, break that down. I mean, gold rush is just as simple as that three part lemon, honey, Jen, I, 28:41 a lot of these cocktails, all these classes, all these things are easy, you know, renditions of each other, just replacing one ingredient with another. You can go to the Daiquiri, which is another three part, you know, just some sort by rum game. What's Gen line? Yeah, it's, it's all these different ways of just doing your two, three 29:00 Quarter three quarter kind of sour recipes and tart recipes. Okay, okay so Fred already kind of alluded to it let's kind of move on to the next season let's let's enter the the fallen winter time because it's a little little darker a little warmer kind of kind of talk about what are your favorites during those those periods? Well, I mean for false, I mean, everything bourbon, I think a dark rum. 29:23 Rum cocktail. What I get into something warm and cozy. I mean, I get into the warm I know it's more 29:30 more winter. I think I get really excited in the fall when that you know, first colbrie starts to come in that first leaf falls. I want to start making tardies all over the place. I mean, already, I don't I do. ciders also. 29:45 That's kind of grabs my jam. Yeah, we get all season local cider and put it like heated up and then we add, you know, whatever, whatever. Like it usually is bourbon or around 29:57 the cider and it's like everybody's favorite. It's awesome. 30:00 So yeah, and people really start grabbing on like heavy hitters cocktails more so even in the fall than in the winter, because I think in the winter they're used to getting cold that point use once third boozy bourbon cocktails but I can use a lot of crazy bitters cocktails in the fall. 30:17 turning 30:18 things like I have a one I do like bourbon and apple and ginger beer, but then a ton of barely bitters and it almost tastes like an apple cider and you just kind of get into those really 30:31 jagged, not like Irby. Yeah, 30:34 like those coffee, you know that the whole tomorrow thing. It's not my jam. I have a lot of bartenders who are like lava Mars and Mars are Italian bitter spirits pretty much in the right way. In the right way. I hate shooting and I got shoot me down probably will get shot for being a bartender who's not a big fan of for net. 30:57 Goodbye for me. It's not like 31:00 rumble that I'll just throw away but you'll never ever see me order a shot for net and that's what every bartender out a kiddie that just so you know this is a this is an industry thing like the bar like you go out with a bunch of bartenders somebody inevitably gets a round of for net and I think it's like someone you know for net has, 31:21 you know as you know putting little envelopes all over the country 31:27 or something but it's like who in the right mind would order it? It kind of reminds me of I saw I saw a picture the other day on the internet that said there's a secret society of people living among those that are still keeping long john Silver's and business. 31:40 So this is probably like that same, that same analogy. So true that places grow. 31:46 Like this. 31:49 And I gotta say, Molly, you know, went to fall cocktails. I was kind of shocked that you didn't talk about a punch. Well, yeah, well, I was getting there. 31:58 I know how much you love. 32:00 I do I love punch. I think it's, first of all, it saves every party. It saves every host hostess at a party, you know, but the history behind the punches are, 32:12 are the best, the best. I mean, there's one it's more of a, I think a Christmas punch, but I started serving in the fall, the admiral Russell's 32:21 punch is so great. I mean it has its its brandy and Sherry. And those are the two main things and then lemon and and then there's a sweet to it as well. So punch means five in Hindi. So five different components or another spirit sweet, sour water and spice that is a template for a really good punch and punches date back almost 500 years, you know, it started when you know Europeans started, you know, traveling all over the world, you know, putting merchant companies into different parts. 33:00 The world the English pretty much in, in India, and then once they get to this, you know this country, you know, the native people trying to make sure that everybody's refreshed. You guys think like people just didn't get off the boat and like, give me water, you know, they absolutely they're like, I need a drink, you know, and usually it was liquor or something that was some kind of alcohol and they couldn't trust the water, they drink the water, they get sick. Yeah. So it was very a lot of people didn't drink water, you know, they drink, you know, ale or wine, you know, or spirits. So, making sure that everybody got refreshed in this hot country, you know, pulling all their resources together and mixing it all together in a big bowl to make it palatable punch bill. 33:46 It sounds like it was just like a means to survive and what punch really became well think about this. So the admin Russell's so I'm gonna tell you the story. There was a guy named Errol Russell. He was in the English army 1600s and he was traveling of the 34:00 coast to Spain. And he decided on Christmas day to get off and throw a party in the city of cookies. And in CODIS, they had this huge fountain in the middle of like the governor's courtyard or something like that or the town. And he's like, well, we're going to use that as a punch bowl. So they poured in, you know, these big you know, barrels of brandy and Sherry spit a Sherry and then added limes and added everything and they It was so big and there's so many there's like 600 people there. They had to get the cabin boy from the boat in a little lifeboat to serve the punch. Everybody got naked, they drink the place dry and then everybody had a great hangover the next day. I always think how cool it would be if I could do this at Fountain Square in Cincinnati. If I get the mayor to let me like use Fountain Square it as a drinking fountain. You know, I could use it as punishable. Would you recommend everyone getting naked? Yeah. I 34:54 mean, gosh, we're not that conservative in Cincinnati. 35:00 Naked fun run around there somewhere anybody's gonna like break that conservative you know boat it's gonna be me 35:09 to all our listeners out there start petitioning Cincinnati mer for Molly's naked fountain party party love me oh god 35:21 well and maybe that could happen to at the party. Yeah You never 35:27 know blushing or anything No, it sounds awesome. I want I want the invite to this party. Yeah, it'll be epic. 35:35 Yes, punch is great. It really is so easy to do. That's good. I mean, that's that's a history of punches that that I had never known about. Seriously up until now. But you know, the other thing that we want to kind of talk about too is 35:48 you know, I guess we'll stay on the cocktails the right occasion kind of part kind of talk about, say, say Fred and I were you know, we're taking our wives out. what's what's that kind of cocktail bourbon kind of cocktail at that. 36:00 Somebody could go out on a date with their wife, nice romantic place and maybe kind of maybe guide her in a way to say like, you need to try this other kind of good bourbon cocktail. Because my wife isn't Are you asking how to man's playing to her? 36:14 I'm just trying to figure out like, how can I get my wife to drink more bourbon cocktails? Right? I know I know this is a Ryan Brian property because his wife is only only drinks wine and she she probably knows is I don't got that problem with Jacqueline and I got the opposite problem. I got home from being out of town. And then you know, my 30th anniversary of Booker's is like down here. It's like, straight straight from the bottom right now. I was rapping making whiskey sours with it. 36:43 Been there. 36:46 We were finishing up a new year's eve one evening, we got home late night from the bar and we had a couple friends over and I was like, hey, let me push out a bourbon for everybody. Let's celebrate as I can just go grab a bottle for some shots. She comes back and 37:00 I'll take a shot all kind of wins and it was a I was it was definitely a barrel proof. Okay, I 12 years. 37:07 You know, they're like the 120s and 30s or whatever and I was like, well, that happened 37:13 a little shorter. But 37:16 my husband doesn't drink bourbon which I married. That's the reason why I married him because you always need a driver. Yeah, that will. Not that much but he doesn't get into my bourbon collection. Except if he has like a tattoo guy because he's a tattoo. When somebody is visiting and they're in the bourbon. He'll open up my, you know, my pantry which used to have all my bourbon in it. I'll be like, pick one. 37:39 world is yours. Yeah. He got in one time to my 2013 Elmer Tilly that was given to me by Omer TVO you know while ago sign and it was like cherished, you know, drank the whole thing. I was so mad. I was divorced and I was like 37:57 you like 38:00 How 38:01 high is like models that you cannot touch is like, she can't even reach it. And I think she knows at that point she can't reach it. Don't touch it. My wife, my wife will climb the shell to get it. Oh, he wants me not to have that one. So she ended up she ended up having a bourbon that I couldn't touch. She got a bourbon women barrel pig. Oh, and, like, Peggy is the one who gifted it to her. She's like, Fred can't have any of this. And so, you know, I couldn't have any until I eventually got permission and when I got permission, I drained that. 38:38 Anyway, I know he's gonna I know. 38:42 We 38:43 got to figure out like how, you know, I think what Kenny's looking for, like the gateway, what is it? What is a gateway cocktail to get people into bourbon? I know. It's a seal buck. I know. It's like, whatever cocktail. You know if you have those. Yeah, I mean, it works. 39:00 It works. The robot cocktail is a champagne cocktail. And it had a story that a lot of people thought was true. And then we found out it wasn't true. I worked at that I was the bar manager at the CEO bar before the, you know, huge wall street journal article that kind of threw out the old historic story of the cocktail. And it hurt me a ton because I use it even after I left the seal Bach to introduce people to bourbon and I've still got people that come see me to drink the COI cocktail. I had a couple who came in for their anniversary the other night and they've been drinking from me for years. And it just hurt my soul When I 39:37 see her. We're just like, fraudulent. 39:40 Oh my god. Well, I think it's safe to say that everything in the spirits business is bullshit. You know, JN true. Your your book. What does it bourbon cure? Yeah, I read that a few times. Thank you bit about that. Yeah, just you can't trust anything. 40:00 Ricky stories is pretty legit because the guy wasn't really in the business. You know the real guy well back in the day before smartphones, 40:09 shit to 40:13 throw anything at you is fantastic but you know a great story is a great story and it does create an experience No matter if it's true or not. So I say Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. That's right. So tell us about the seal Bach what's the best bourbon to use there? What's the best champagne? How do you make it work? I like First of all, I like to use a sugar cube. I don't know if he's a sugar cube use sugar. I don't know I use just a splash of simple syrup about consistency. And I like I like the sugar cube because I love the little crystals that go through it. So sugar cube, I douse it with both Angostura and patient bitters. I'm heavier on the patient with an iron Angostura. Yeah, a little more citrus for Yeah, it makes it a little more crowd pleasing. Yeah. The CEO box even at the hotel, I had it sent back 41:00 When I would do super heavy on both yeah started bringing down the Angostura a little bit yeah back OD became more palatable for the masses so that and then I like to use just for your for roses yellow label for sale bought because it seems to be a little lighter you know worse there for me I leveled for sure but there's something about I don't know the when I like when I make 41:23 for some reason for roses yellow label has a lighter 41:29 lighter something about it for these lighter cocktails I use that another one my cocktails it's one of the most popular on our menu. I actually like the the old force you can still a little bit of spice it has yet to go against the champagne and a little bit of sweetness in there. So well and then I top it off usually with a dredge Prosecco and then the champagne does any dry but we have used Prosecco or dry champagne. And you do use terms like or do you use like in my strike here, I use I make my own Triple Sec. So I triple sec, just a little 42:00 Orange look for so that brings it all together and there's something about this so you still can taste the bourbon but it's not overpowering because it's lightened up with the champagne. 42:12 So any any not just bourbon, but you don't use a little ins and outs of bourbon and when I make so it's not like overpowering people and a half 42:22 and half the triple. Yeah, there's been a lot of differences between these. It's really good. Just a simple cocktail. Yes, it's fascinating. Oh, I don't think it's the right answer. That's why that's why MIMO we've been friends for a long time. It's because we understand that it's the great thing if you know there's there's certain cocktails, you know, everybody like little fashion for instance, everybody makes their own fashion different. They really do. I don't I don't think I've ever had unless it's a bartender that I trained on how I make my old fashions. I don't think I've ever had an old fashioned same hopefully they're making it the same way. 42:58 Yeah, I've done that before. 43:00 Hear that before where people like know we're going to model this I'm like no not in my bar we're not doing Have you seen the YouTube video? The woman Oh talk 43:11 last night yeah 715 43:15 army we used to talk them with soda. Like I used to call that the steak house old fashioned. Yeah, that's how I learned it. Back in the early 2000s. We were you know, we were modeling orange and cherry and throwing a couple sugar packets in there. soda water and it was and this is a white tablecloth Steakhouse that Yang $10 a cocktail, at least you didn't like just take a thing of simple stare and go, you know, like this. I've been a bourbon police, a bourbon place downtown August they were and the guy was making these old fashions. He's just like, it was like probably like a full house and half a simple syrup in the glass, and then bourbon on top and then and then he just threw a cherry and an orange in there. I was like, oh my god. It's like we both know some places around here that we might not go to and go back 44:00 Drink bourbon. No, no, no. Is it hard for you to go places when you see when you see other people like creating cocktails and you're kind of like, send it back like every day? do you do that? I mean, what's your there? I have I mean not not because I will spin people who don't who didn't understand the egg white thing that you have to actually shake it a lot. And he got outlawed in some areas. So there are some cities that have outlawed horrible things back. I mean, it was slimy still, it wasn't it didn't have the aeration of the A. And I've said back old fashions because they were just so sweet. Like it just was disgusting. So usually though, I don't do that. I just ordered a bourbon on the rock. 44:39 I don't drink cocktails, the whole I drink more cocktails and I'm out of town. Yeah, for some reason. When I'm out of town in a different city. It's kind of inspirational. It's kind of like getting a feel for where you're at to drink more cocktails. Or if I'm at a, you know, a new restaurant or bar in town that I haven't had cocktails at, but if I'm going to visit my friends at their bar, I'm not ordering cocktails from them hardly ever 45:00 They might make me something they want me to try, but I'm drinking a beer bourbon. Yeah. Yeah. I don't drink beer so I drink a lot. OJ go Martini. I drink Beefeater martinis or Plymouth martinis depending on my jam. Good. Yeah. Jim. 45:15 So let's go back to like the the entry level kind of cocktails. 45:22 Hey, it's Kenny here and I want to tell you about the Commonwealth premier bourbon tasting and awards festival.

They're using beer barrels to finish their whiskey. New Holland spirits claims to be the first distillery to stout a whiskey. The folks at Rock house whiskey club heard that claim and had to visit the banks of Lake Michigan to check it out. That all began when New Holland brewing launched in 97. Their Dragon's milk beer is America's number one selling bourbon barrel aged out in 2005. They apply their expertise from brewing and began distilling a beer barrel finished whiskey began production 2012 and rock house was the club is featuring it in their next box. The barrels come from Tennessee get filled with Dragon's milk beer twice, the mature bourbon is finished in those very same barrels. RackHouse whiskey club is a whiskey the Month Club on a mission to uncover the best flavors and stories from craft distillers across the US along with two bottles. 47:00 hard to find whiskey rackhouse's boxes are full of cool merchandise that they ship out every two months to members in over 40 states.

The 2019 Kentucky's edge bourbon conference and festival pairs all things Kentucky with bourbon.

Tickets and information can be found online at Kentucky's edge.com. 47:45 So let's go back to like the the entry level kind of cocktails. One that I have found is almost a surefire winners not really a lot of people's radars. And that's bourbon slushies, huh? Oh, yeah, I mean, I have yet to find someone who didn't like bourbon. 48:00 But I introduced them to like a really nice bourbon slushy recipe and they were just wow, do you guys do anything with slushies? I have I have snow could thing. 48:10 It's not Snoopy either. 48:13 I have it's like it's harder for me. Um, it's kind of breaking the law to do those. And I'm pretty stickler for those things. A lot of the people that pre mold it's against the law to have a slushy machine as a as with drinks in it in Kentucky. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, 48:35 hi. Oh, that's completely legal. No, I'm not doing that in Ohio. But man, I was going to open a slushy liquor bar in Kentucky and now it's all 48:42 right now as it stands right now in Kentucky and I had to check this recently. Because we wanted to do so she's a 48:50 spirit has to be served from its original container last being consumed immediately. So by their iteration and Kentucky, if it sits and 49:00 mixture of less than 24 hours then you can serve it out of a machine or a pre mixer things like that. If it sits over 24 hours it's no longer legal. So interesting right so yeah so no barrel aged. I we when I was at my old Goodfellas we got rid of our house michelman show we got rid of our barrel aged cocktails all because there were some a couple people that got hit by the ABC on that Eric Gregory if you're listening to this with this on the Kentucky distillers associations I don't mean to throw it out there sorry. We saw 49:35 hillbilly Eric not who he was up nobility Yeah, but he got hit hard on that and it shut him down. Wow, I did not know that. Yeah, I watched a restaurant go down in flames because of something simple like that. And I don't I'm not gonna risk the entire business doing that we got a few emails will send after this one to some friends who 49:54 I had no idea but I mean, you say things like, okay, like more beverages wine that's not 100 50:00 Spirit you can do like local things like that. No saucy vermouth cocktails. Well you said you actually brought something up that that I always love going places and I've had good ones I've had bad ones that barrel aged cocktails kind of talk about your we got a yes and a no 50:17 go yeah it's very age who we send out in we did right across up I love that one. So I don't I love I love to use, you know, aged products to make a fresh cocktail. I don't think it doesn't taste fresh and it comes out of like, if you read if you make a cocktail, you may begin to granny or Manhattan and he put it into a barrel. 50:41 I hate that. I mean it kind of rounded out the rough edges you had to do it correctly like we would do two barrels. We took one barrel was our serving beer and we put paraffin wax on the inside so it's no longer reactive because people will keep it in a fresh barrel where it becomes over age and many tannic rough on your palate. If you get it to the right point and then change it over to an honorary 51:00 barrel that's where I think you you keep it is so you would age yours to a certain time age it to what we thought was right and every time you use the barrel it changes a little differently tasteful different so you're tasting and every couple days a week or so and then you bottle it yeah cabin and then you have you're serving in st you're you're serving barrel that we paraffin wax and you would fill that up and serve it from there. Yeah. Oh 51:28 I love Sam fights breakout 51:32 no I don't like oh, no, no, we've had differences opinion before so 51:38 I'm just not really drink is barely, you know, making them anytime soon. So I gotta tell you I kind of lean with Molly on my opinion of barrel aged cocktails. Like I have found them to be over tannic way battery the essence of the spirit is often lost. And if there is any kind of citrus in it, I 52:00 Swear to God I said wait hold on so I put sisters in a bed so you can put sisters in a very shocking that's just 52:06 I think that's the thing is like people think that they can just like make a cocktail and throw it into a barrel anything you know, and they don't realize there's some oxidation that goes on is very unsafe. I think it just you got to know what you're doing it's like Molly knows what she's doing what she's making tobacco bitters, but tobacco bitters are dangerous part to me. margins are playing around with activated charcoal they're out there playing around with things that they don't know fully about. And there it's not exactly Well, the the nitrogen one there's been a couple cases of customers are having burning their throat or having their stomach. Huge lawsuit with George Clooney, his old brand new they sold Castillo because of ego. They were having a party like even after he sold it or whatever. And somebody like Woody was out of work for eight months because they destroyed their esophagus on dry ice stupid. Well, yeah, don't use dry ice at home now. 53:00 There's so many things you show me that I'm dumb down. Well, let's keep the the disagreements going here because 53:09 so this is this is another one where I think our listeners would be interested to kind of see what is the right bourbon for the right type of cocktail, because you've got, you've got your weeded, you've got your high rise, you've got your low rise, you've got your craft that has sort of a more of a grainy flavor to it. So with these four, like where did they fit in inside and there's one other kind, the kind where they're paying you to put it in the cocktail? 53:37 competition competitions and things. I guess this will work. 53:42 I don't know if you agree, but I rarely and this is gonna be a kind of a blanket statement. I rarely find that we did Bourbons go into cocktails for me. Like a smash. Yeah. But not too often do I use a weighted bourbon and cocktails? Yeah, don't use a lot of we I mean unless I have to for like makers or something. 54:00 Right What do you mean less I have to well like you said like like if they're you know paying for it like 54:09 a lot of makers things and I you know I usually will like figure out the the cocktail for that you know it really well I mean 54:18 makers find to be a little sweeter so not 54:26 and not as complex as a lot of the other Bourbons I love makers don't don't think that I'm like putting it down no telling telling you like what I think I just gotta like you gotta figure out like what to put in it so that he doesn't like Lakers in a smash right it's about the only thing I put it I love smashes that was like one of my favorite like a Bramble even Rambo works I mean, I've made Maker's Mark brambles All right, y'all gotta remember 54:51 talking other languages fruit, smashed fruit and 54:57 and then your spirits and sometimes I put citrus in 55:00 Bramble and then top it off with spotlight club soda. Very simple, easy to make it home and bright cocktail. Yeah. 55:09 Like switching up the Bourbons there's lots of times where like a competition is happening and you make it with the bourbon gives you have to but you know it tastes better with a different burger. Yeah, that's how I've done that plenty of times. I'll just switch it up and put it on the menu with a different bourbon even though the competition required this and that. What's the ultimate bourbon mixing? cocktail? My what's the what's the cocktail mixing bourbon? I love old forester January. I mean, even my bar uses a lot. I will say there's bourbon. I'm gonna hate me for saying this. I'm not a big fan of Woodford straight. 55:45 Yeah, 55:47 straight out my favorite 55:50 other products but then like we said, we both love old forester. Yeah, if somebody buys me a word for it, I'm going to drink it, but you know, but I'd rather drink old Forester, the old forester signatures. 56:00 jam you know I say go for some signature all the time and it's not on the label anymore and 56:06 I go give me a bottle versus signature well 56:09 I noticed both of you all mentioned four roses yellow label to time to update. 56:15 Yeah 56:17 I love you been around the block you reference I brands I love using 56:23 in my well use I use Ancient Egypt 10 star for can get it if not benchmark. Ancient ages are well yeah. 56:34 And then sometimes sometimes Evan Williams if I can't find those other two that's how it goes in Ohio though. So there's a great for mixing if I make an old fashioned I use old granddad 100 or bonded if I making a Manhattan usually it's old forester. You know, or you know man, maker smart makes a great old fashioned 56:59 way 57:00 Deal force arrived 57:02 in Ohio know when I started using that all my Manhattans so 57:08 I like right in my man hands too but I think in this area there's something about a bourbon man and I don't know maybe it just goes back to that me working in high end retail and it was always with a bourbon. That's what I always did it with and I kind of gone back to using rye because we use it also in black Manhattan's which we serve a ton of and the rye helps cut through that tomorrow a bit. Have you ever made white Manhattan's Have you ever used a nice whiskey and made man? 57:34 I feel like I probably have at some point but I can't wait good. Yeah, yeah, shame on HH whiskey. I got white dog. Yeah, us especially that. What is it the OMG the 57:46 What is it? What is it out in Utah? What are they? 57:51 totally blank. And yeah, they're OMZ is this still called that? I can't get in Ohio. This what I used in Kentucky, but that with orange bitters, and then 58:00 dry vermouth instead. Holy moly you're a bigger fan of white dog and I know we discussed this before I I enjoy it but you like to sit around just sip on it I like the Buffalo Trace mash one. She's, she's old school. Love it. So when we look at you know bourbon cocktails we tend to look at it from like it's it's a price thing. It's usually the $30 and under. But there are some bartenders who will slap you know, slap a little Pappy in, in a cocktail shaker. Do you guys ever go crazy and put like an alley or super allocated? 58:36 bourbon or rye in a cocktail? Yes. 58:40 I got two ways of saying it. One is you're paying me the money. You're the one paying for the whiskey. I'll do it. Do you enjoy your way but anytime anyone's ever ordered a patented coke for me. My way of serving it has been I give him a glass of Pappy I give him a glass of coke and I give him ice and tell them with it being such a nice bourbon. I wanted to give you the component 59:00 You can mix it yourself to the appropriate mix. I've never mixed the coke not once so I try to not be offensive by Tom mirror. Wow fucking idiot 59:12 my bartenders always say I'm good at saying fuck you with a smile. 59:18 Like, my husband's always like you really good being like fuck you but your hair looks really nice. 59:28 Now I'll just say I, I feel like 59:32 I'm at my bar I'm there I'm I control the bar and I am there to educate people on what they're drinking, how they're drinking it. And so I will not serve them a copy of coke. I will educate them on why they shouldn't drink this with Coke. If it's really it's, I mean, they push it then I probably do the same thing but I have never had do that. It's happened me a few times that actually add a few bars. had to do that a couple times. But like I said, it's never gotten mixed. They've always thank 1:00:00 Me In the end I appreciate you not letting me ruin that that 1:00:05 you know the best thing out there and you know that's what obviously we go into it to our walk on this you probably don't need it I did you set up the next podcast. My sister took her to wild turkey though, you know Lawrenceburg and we did the high end tasting and right in the middle of it she cracks open a diet coke was died like my sister of all people. You can't do that. Like you cannot mix that with the diamond. 1:00:31 Yeah. 1:00:33 So sorry. 1:00:35 It's apologize to our family wild turkey too for that. 1:00:40 So another question I kind of had for you. You know, we've all at least in the bourbon world, we see stuff on the shelf, we buy it, we all make mistakes. It's it might be like I said it could be craft and a little bit too green forward. We're just not a big fan of drinking it neat. Is there a cocktail that you can use to make these a little bit more palatable? 1:01:00 Absolutely yes so kind of kind of talk about where ginger ale and 1:01:09 fancy it up a little bit rather than just adding ginger ale but you can always play around on something and doing something that is really going to cover flavors Manhattan's and no passions more enhance and you can do some stuff and a heavy smash or do a bird a sour even that I help cover it. Still I've had some I had to come through bed but yeah, let me let me I'm sure you guys get stuff sent to you sometimes from yesterday. Just show up. Yeah, yeah, twice, not mad about it. But sometimes it's usually from a newer distillery or a craft distiller and it's not that their products. It's not bad. It's just different than what you're used to, you know, no. 1:01:54 Bad. I've had some stuff where I'm like, Oh, this isn't bad. It's just it's just different. Yeah. 1:02:00 dozy Tyler yet have you all for God's sake. 1:02:04 Shit. Bad. So 1:02:07 one of the few that I've it spit out I've had, you know, he's like drywall. Yeah, got 1:02:14 some I poured me one recently to that I had to spit out it was out of a tin can. I can still 1:02:21 Yeah. 1:02:24 So there there's a 1:02:27 you know, I write reviews I score whiskeys and people started pointing out you know if you really don't like something you say would make a great cocktail bourbon and I didn't I really did not realize I was doing that. I'll be honest, I did not realize I was doing that. But I was passing it on to like, yeah, you know what it's drinking need. It's cocktail bourbon, but I have found that there is one note and some of these, these Bourbons that you cannot get out if it's a bad one. And it's that over charcoal Lee woody know, it's like there 1:03:00 Nothing that I've been able to find that can cut that Do you have any recommendations for like how to cut cut that charcoal that over woody note that you find a lot of two year old craft bourbon because like what I call it is that new bourbon tastes like this the big green exactly No. I mean, I just did I just had a bourbon and I it wasn't that was bad. It was really good. It was different. And by a very really respected new distiller new distiller who I have a lot of respect for. 1:03:34 And I couldn't figure out what to do with it but final

It's September 2075, and Private Investigator Keith Kincaid laments his newly acquired case... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chrome-city/support

I wanna teach you a little bit more about HOW to create ads or write video scripts for products you’re promoting in the MLM space….    About a week ago, towards the end of the day, I knew that we were gonna go do a bunch of filming the next day for some funnels that you guys will see us launching soon…     In fact, I'll tell you about one of them today.    I thought, “What could we do to make a video that's off the top crazy?”    Whether you're brand new in MLM, network marketing, or direct sales, whatever you choose to call it… We're all basically commission-based salesmen.    Whatever it is that you are going to choose to sell… Understand that as a marketer you are a NOISEMAKER.    Some people have gotten mad when I've said in the past…    They're like, "Hey, look, there's enough noise out there all ready in this planet, Steve, and I don't need to be making more of it."    I'm not saying make noise for noise's sake…    CREATING SUCCESS IN MLM   I have a bunch of quotes on the ceiling in my office…    I ran out of wall space because I’ve got whiteboards everywhere… So I started putting my quotes on the ceiling.    There is a quote up there that says, "When you open your mouth, you are either contributing and adding value or you're just making distraction and noise and nonsense"    What I'm saying is, by making noise, do things of value.    That's what we ask ourselves frequently here in this office.    There's several others that work here now… And we will all sit down and start thinking, “What could we do that would cause positive good noise that brings attention over to what we're doing?”    It's been great and it's been a ton of fun doing that. We come up with some pretty aggressive things sometimes.    I live in Boise, Idaho, right next to ClickFunnels. We had this idea to go 30 minutes away to this place where we could SHOOT.    I shot a lot of guns growing up and I was in the Army for about four and a half years… I just love guns. Guns are fun when you're safe with them.    I was like, "Let's do something with guns. Let's do something that's big and aggressive,"    We decided to go to these places and start shooting some guns and we brought our videographer with us so we could start shooting.    Shooting with a camera but also shooting with a gun…     I wrote this script… The purpose of the script is to go in and ruffle some feathers around a lot of false beliefs in the MLM space.     I wanna read the script to you real quick so you can see how I wrote this…    ADS FOR SUCCESS IN MLM   With any script that I write EVER… Whether it's for the Secret MLM Hacks Webinar (if you guys wanna see that, go to secretmlmhacks.com) or anything really... I always step back and think about my target audience.    Whether you're:    Selling product  Trying to recruit Building or selling the products   … Think about the mainstream things.    What are the mainstream things that my dream customer believes right now and I KNOW are WRONG?   Then what I do is become the OPPOSITE of that in the ad or in the script.    It's one of the EASIEST ways to get a lot of attention.    Let's say that you were gonna go speak to a bunch of bodybuilders and you're selling them a CrossFit program…     What are all the beliefs that a bodybuilder has that you know are WRONG that could be hurting them?     I'm gonna bring that out in the ad and become the exact OPPOSITE of it.    I am the ANTI of that thing… Openly, loud and proud!    You'll see what I mean as we go here…     So what we did was…    Bought a shotgun And we bought Tannerite   … If you don't know what this stuff is, it's an explosive (it's legal). We got it from Dick's Sporting Goods.    I went to a party store and I got tons of stuff…    A full-board cutout of Superman  Hans Solo A hundred-pound, old-school TV that we've just had sitting on the side of our house forever…  this thing's sooo heavy A really old Mac computer Lots of spray paint   We drove out to this place (it was a super nice day) and we went out to this clearing…    THIS is the script that I wrote…    NETWORK MARKETING ADS SCRIPT    It starts out with me standing in a field…     "Is success in MLM even possible today?"    What's cool about starting anything with a question is that questions hijack brains.   If I was to ask you a question like, "Are you really actually gonna be successful in your MLM right now?"    By default, you can't NOT think about that. That's WHY questions are such a powerful opener.   "Is success in MLM even possible today?"    And then it backs out and I'm standing in this field with a TV…     "Well, let me ask you this..."    It's kind of like those Geico commercials… "Could Geico really save you 15% on car insurance?”   "Could a woodchuck chuck wood?"    And then it goes to a woodchuck throwing wood…    There's A LOT of fast cuts in this…     "Is success in MLM even possible today?    Well, let me ask you this…     Will this old-school, hundred-pound TV explode with only four pounds of Tannerite under it?"    Then it zooms away to us shooting the Tannerite and the TV flips through the air and explodes… It's really awesome!    The shockwave was huge!    "I'm Steve. MLM is stuck in the '90s. Hello, the internet is here!"    And it's all these cool little cuts back and forth.    "MLM is loaded with old-school methods like the three-way phone calls... "   If this offends you.. Don't get offended. Watch what I'm doing.    IS SUCCESS IN MLM EVEN POSSIBLE?   We zoom to me standing in a Walmart parking lot and I take a step up to Colton (the other owner of Secret MLM Hacks) and go…    "Hey, this guy's gonna make us a bunch of money. I don't know how, but we gotta three-way call now.”   He picks up a book and slaps me and I have a delayed reaction. I'm going hyperbole, slapstick, kind of over the top because I know that this is gonna be a touchy…    I don't do three-way phone calls. I'm not saying that you CAN’T… I'm just saying I didn't wanna do that so I built my own system that recruits for me.    In the last four days we've had NINE people join… Who I haven't spoken to but they're getting trained at this insane level because I automated the training.    I'm going through three things, three methods, that I KNOW MLM believes will cause success that I don't really agree with…    I said, "It's filled with old-school methods like the three-way phone call, making a huge list of uninterested family and friends and bugging them."    Then it goes to me on a whiteboard writing down:   Total Facebook friends = 2,047   Total MLM leads = 2,047    Then I look up to the side and go, "What island should I buy?"    We've all been there and that's why this is really aggressive.    MARKETING FOR SUCCESS IN MLM   Then I said, "And finally, fake home parties."    And we set up a home party and people are wearing party hats. They're sitting there and I stand up at the front…    Guys, this is REALLY controversial. If it's pissing you off, you need to watch what I'm doing and model in your MLM.    I'm not trying to be offensive for offensive's sake…     If someone gets offended by it, that's not the goal. I'm not trying to do that…    I'm taking the mainstream beliefs, the methods that people believe are required in MLM and becoming the OPPOSITE of those because I don't agree with them.    So if you're thinking about your…    MLM Product Opportunity   If you don't know who  your target dream customer is… That's why you're having a hard time selling in the first place.    Whatever your dream target customer believes will give them success, and you're like, "No, no, no, no, no.”    "You’re taking that supplement."    "You have that insurance plan.”    "You having that retirement thing."    Have you told them that that's not true at all in a very memorable way?    This is what I'm doing with this…    I said, "Finally, the fake home party."    We set up a home party and I'm going waaaay over the top in the video. It's hyperbole but it's to cause a point.    "Hey, everyone, thanks so much for coming to my home party. I can't wait for you to buy my stuff and fuel my retirement and future because truly I never learned how to sell."    Then my buddy, Colton, stands up and he goes, "This party sucks!"    He slams something on the ground and then reaches out with the book again and slaps my face, with a delayed reaction.    THE MLM FUNNEL AND NETWORK MARKETING SECRETS    This is spicy, and it's meant to be edgy… That's partly my personality.    If you don't want to be that way, you don't HAVE to. This is just something that I did.    "This party sucks!"... Then it zooms to me in a studio. It's all nice, and I'm standing in front of a camera.    I go, "Hey, look, I'm serious but joking. The point is us full time internet marketers are playing the MLM game completely different than what you've been taught by your upline,"    I said, "To be clear, YES, I am building actively in an MLM.”    I HATE it when I find out someone that I'm learning from is NOT actually doing the thing that they're teaching. There are tons of MLM gurus that are out there like that.    Now it zooms back to me with a shotgun and I'm walking… “Yes, to be clear," and I load it "I am building an MLM actively right now. I'm a participant in this place,"    "YES, I'm using the internet to grow my MLM."    I look over and point at this old-school Mac. We sprayed “MLM + WEB?” with question marks all over it.    "You can do that in MLM? YEAH YOU CAN! I'm doing it right now."    Then I blow a shotgun round through the center of the computer. It was really fun.    And then it was zooms out to me looking at it… A little bit further away Colton's loading a big rifle.    MYTHS ABOUT SUCCESS IN MLM   I turned around to the camera and I say, "So the whole myth that you can't use the internet to grow what you're doing..."    Then as we both look over and Colton lines up, and goes, BOOM!    We shot five pounds of explosives under this TV, and it went flipping through the air and I said, "Myth busted, that's crap."    I'm taking ALL the things that I've seen people believe about MLM constraints…    I don't talk about my MLM on here… I don't name it. That’s one of the reasons I can do it.    A lot of you come join my downline because of how many tools we have for you afterwards. You learn waaaay more about that in Secret MLM Hacks.    I tell them, "Guys, how I'm using Facebook funnels and the internet that might surprise you… Now I personally sell programs, and books, teaching my own MLM methods. I honestly just wanna make a cool video to tell you about another fascinating book that'll help you make the transition into modern MLM."    What I'm doing in the video is I'm promoting Russell's new book called "Network Marketing Secrets".    I tell them, "Go to The MLM Funnel, themlmfunnel.com and get your copy from me".   "Get your copy of 'Network Marketing Secrets' and there's a bunch of cool bonuses there. It's called 'Network Marketing Secrets' by Russell Brunson."    "While old-school MLM tactics CAN work..."    Now we're zooming back to a rock face and I have a huge cardboard cutout of Superman and Hans Solo…     I said, "It's like putting Hans Solo against Superman. Hans Solo was cool 30 years ago… CGI is here!"    HOW TO HAVE SUCCESS IN MLM   "We do MLM differently. ‘Network Marketing Secrets' and the programs that I share with you will teach you HOW we're really doing MLM online, automated, without talking to anybody."    “I'm not removing the person from this business. I have other MLM automated programs teaching HOW to do this and I'm hoping you buy this book and make fat stacks of cash and use some of it to come buy my programs in the future."    How evil of a plan is that?    And maybe you join my team…  "Here's what you're gonna get…”    Then I go through and I give them a really cool offer. I'm giving them one of my recruiting funnels if they buy the book through my link.    Same offer's for you, by the way. If you guys go to themlmfunnel.com it will take you over there and you'll see what the offer is.    I recorded myself building a recruiting funnel in front of a live audience. They get that video course so they can see how I built all the pages… Then they get the actual funnel itself.    If you don't have a ClickFunnels account, it will give you a two-week FREE trial when you click on the link.    I give them the program that I train my downline with once they join me. That way they can see HOW I do it so they can go do it in their own MLM.     SUCCESS IN MLM IS NOT CUTE    I don't wanna marry my downline… The point for me is to build an ASSET… Not a job.    Therefore I should automate certain things that I do all the time. If I'm doing them all the time, it's the same thing over and over again. Why on Earth would I not put a system in place to automate that?    I give them a discount ticket to OfferMind, which I'll invite you guys to come to. It's September 2nd and 3rd. Russell Brunson will be keynoting at that. I teach you how to make a sexy offer so that you actually can outvalue your upline and downline.    I said, "Sure, you may love the cute way your MLM has taught you to recruit and sell…”    Then I pick up this panda (it's a pinata) and I say, "You're right. Things that are comfortable can be really cute. But what has cute and comfy actually done for you?"    And then it's me slamming the thing on the ground and ripping the head off of it.    It's a really aggressive ad. Go to themlmfunnel.com, because that’s where this video is going to live. You can go watch the whole thing.    "But, Steve, if it's not broke, don't fix it."    "No one's buying hundred-pound TVs anymore. MLM has changed."    There's an analogy that I gave… You probably saw it in this past four-part series that we just did.    It's not that the way MLM teaches you traditionally CAN’T work… It's like putting a Prius against a race car down a drag strip. It's so much faster.    I can auto-pitch people like crazy… Far more than I ever had time to do.    HOW THE BIG GUYS HAVE SUCCESS IN MLM   We're well over 1,500 people asking to join my downline. I didn't recruit them all because I chop a lot of of them out because it's a REAL application. But 1,500 people have asked to join my downline in the last year and a half.    Learn this stuff. That's why I do this show. I know it's controversial and I know it pisses people off… Usually it's because they don't know HOW to do it and then I freak them out.    Whatever, it works. We're doing it. Tons of people are. I've had multiple people recruit several hundred in a month. Just in the Secret MLM Hacks program, not my downline alone.    Internet is part of the MLM future.   It's the way the huge guys have already been playing it. They're just not teaching you that.    Then we shoot back over to me… Colton and Austin are standing on a rock with confetti rockets.   I say, "So, congrats." BOOM, and we all shoot the confetti out. "Throw a party because you're about to learn how the big MLMers are actually playing the game."    Then I say, "Click the link below "o get all those cool bonuses and get the book and we'll ship it on out to you."   I just wanted to break that down so you guys can see HOW we do that. If you wanna see the actually final video go to themlmfunnel.com. It is meant to be shaking.    MARKETING AND CHANGING BELIEFS IN MLM   A marketer does not nothing more than change beliefs in order to cause a sale. That's what marketing is.    It's not…     Logos Slogans Ads   … That's all part of it, it's an appendage. But marketing itself is changing beliefs with the intent of a sale to happen.    The first two MLMs I was in were like, "Okay, let's do some three-way phone calls. Make a huge list of your friends and family. And, by the way, you might wanna think about throwing a home party."    I did those things! The three-way phone calls, the fake home parties, I made a huge list of uninterested friends and family, and it was extremely embarrassing.    I still have soured relationships to this day because of that, and I hate it. I will fight it. It's the reason WHY I created such an intense ad.    Go and check out themlmfunnel.com.   For those of you who are like, "I don't know if I should be in Secret MLM Hacks yet." Probably going to themlmfunnel.com is the place to start with if you're not ready yet.    If you are wanting to go full swing, like, "Stephen, I'm ready to do this. Let's make this an actual asset." Go to Secret MLM Hacks and buy the program.    We're about the raise the price on it because it's freakin' incredible.    Go to themlmfunnel.com. If you're limited… That's fine, the book's $7 and it omes with all those bonuses.   When you go to themlmfunnel.com, I beg you to buy SLOWLY, so you can watch through all the things that I'm doing inside there.   CHECK OUT THE MLM FUNNEL    Probably the biggest question I get is: “Steve, how are you using the internet for your personal MLM today?”    To be clear, I am, but it's HOW that matters, and it's HOW that you're probably interested in.    Facebook doesn't easily let you drive ads to MLM, and most MLMs won't even let you say their name on the internet, which is stupid.    Despite those and other forces, I am using the internet to grow my personal downline and sell products.    MLM is changing, and you're probably feeling that, right? It's why I created a little mini-course in a bundle… To show you HOW I'm doing this all today.    It's called The MLM Funnel and you can get it at themlmfunnel.com.    I'm doing this because you might not know WHERE to start in all of this and, secondly, because there's a cool new book by Russell Brunson called Network Marketing Secrets that I want you to go get.    He's a cool guy, so I'm talking about this book a lot lately. I'm also going to give you a little bribe so you go get the book through my link.    How evil of me.    When you go to themlmfunnel.com and get Russell's new book, Network Marketing Secrets, I'm going to give you my Pre-built Recruiting Funnel Template, the Hack MLM Downline Onboarding Course, which is how I auto-train my downline when they join my team.    ALSO, a discount ticket to my next event called OfferMind so that you can learn to outvalue your upline and downline.    If you want all this for FREE, just go to themlmfunnel.com now and get a crash course into prebuilt funnel templates that I'm using with my own downline now.    Again, just go to themlmfunnel.com and buy Russell Brunson's new book there, and I'll send you all those bonuses for free.

In this episode we sit down with one of our very favorite people, Peter Zimmerman, an undisputed icon of the Nouveau Tour Generation. Peter has it all: brains, beauty, talent. And the best part is, he's a sister who won't steal your mister. OR your ankle-straps! Today we'll find out what made him this way. It's September 2018 and this is Tour All Year!

Jane Ferguson: Hi everyone. Welcome to episode 20 of Getting Personal Omics of the Heart, the podcast brought to you by the Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine Journal and the American Heart Association Council on Genomic and Precision Medicine. I'm Jane Ferguson from Vanderbilt University. It's September 2018 and let's dive straight into the papers from this month's issue of Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine.                                 We're starting off with some pharmacogenomics. Bruce Peyser, Deepak Voora and colleagues from Duke University published an article entitled, "Effects of Delivering SLCO1B1 Pharmacogenetic Information in Randomized Trial and Observational Settings."                                 Although statins are generally well tolerated, 5-15% of patients taking statins for LDL lowering and cardiovascular protection end up developing statin associated muscular symptoms. Because onset of muscular symptoms associated with discontinuing statin use, as well as increased cardiovascular morbidity, there is a clear need to identify ways to prevent or reduce symptoms in these people. Variants affecting statin related myopathy have previously been discovered through GWAS, including a variant in the SLCO1B1 gene, which also has been shown to relate to statin myalgia and discontinuation of statin use. The risks appear to be greatest with simvastatin, indicating the people at risk of muscle complications may do better on either low-dose Simvastatin or another statin. However, there's still some uncertainty surrounding the risks and benefits of various statins as they pertain to risk of muscular symptoms.                                 The authors have previously shown that pharmacogenetics testing led to increased number of people reporting statin use, but effects of pharmacogenetic testing on adherence, prescribing, and LDL cholesterol had never been tested in a randomized control trial. In this study, they randomized 159 participants to either genotype informed statin therapy or usual care, and then followed them for months to eight months.                                 25% of participants were carriers of the SLCO1B1 star five genotype. The authors found that statin adherence was similar in both groups, but gene type guided therapy resulted in more new statin prescriptions and significantly lower LDL cholesterol at three months, and levels that were lower but no longer significantly different at eight months.                                 In individual's randomized to usual care who then crossed over to genotype informed therapy after the trial period ended, there was an additional decrease in LDL cholesterol. Overall, genotype informed statin therapy led to an increase in re-initiation of statins and decreases in LDL cholesterol, but did not appear to affect adherence.                                 The authors also examined the effects of commercial genetic testing for SLCO1B1 variants in an observational setting by looking at over 92000 individuals with data available in the EHR. They found the people who receive genetic testing results had a larger drop in LDL cholesterol compared to untested controls. Overall, the study indicates that carriers of the SLCO1B1 risk variant may benefit from genotype informed statin therapy, while for non-carriers receiving their results may has limited effects.                                 If you want to read more on this, Sony Tuteja and Dan Rader from UPenn wrote an editorial to accompany this article, which was published in the same issue.                                 We're staying on the topic of statins and LDL for our next paper. This article comes from Akinyemi Oni-Orisan, and Neil Risch and colleagues from the University of California and is entitled, "Characterization of Statin Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Dose-Response Utilizing Electronic Health Records in a Large Population-Based Cohort."                                 They were interested in understanding what determines variation in statin induced LDL reduction, particularly the genetic component, and they used a large EHR derived data set, the Kaiser Permanente Genetic Epidemiology research on adult health and aging cohort to address this important question. An EHR dataset does have intrinsic limitations, but also has some clear strengths, not only as a readily available and cost-effective data source for large sample sizes, but also because it reflects real world clinical care in diverse individuals, which is not always well represented within the selective constraints of a randomized trial.                                 There were over 33000 individuals who met their inclusion criteria. To account for differences in potency between different statins and doses, the authors generated a defined daily dose value, with one defined daily dose equal to 40 milligrams per day of Lovastatin. The slope of the dose response was similar across statin types and across different sex and race or ethnicity groups. But there were differences by statin type in the response independent of dose, as well as differences in absolute responses by sex, age, race, smoking, and diabetes.                                 Based on these differences, the authors revised the defined daily doses and they highlight how previously defined equivalencies between different statins may not be accurate. They found that individuals with East Asian ancestry had an enhanced response to therapy compared with individuals of European ancestry.                                 The authors identified related individuals within the data set and the estimated heritability of statin response using parent-offspring and sibling pairs. They found only modest heritability, indicating that non-genetic factors may be more important in determining variability in statin response. Overall, this large single cohort study adds to our knowledge on determinants of statin response and raises further questions on the relative effects of different statins and doses within patient subgroups.                                 Okay, so now let's talk about GWAS and Athero. Sander van der Lann, Paul de Bakker, Gerard Pasterkamp and coauthors from University Medical Center Utrecht published a paper entitled, "Genetic Susceptibility Loci for Cardiovascular Disease and Their Impact on Atherosclerotic Plaques."                                 Over the past decade, genome-wide association studies in large cohorts have been very successful in identifying cardiovascular risk loci. However, relating these to subclinical disease or two mechanisms has been more challenging. The authors were interested in understanding whether established GWAS loci for stroke and coronary disease are associated with characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque, the idea being that some of the risk loci may alter disease risk by determining the development and stability of plaque. They identified seven plaque characteristics to study and histological samples, including intraplaque fat, collagen content, smooth muscle cell percentage, macrophage percentage, calcification, intraplaque hemorrhage, and intraplaque vessel density.                                 They selected 61 known loci and examined association of those SNiPA with black phenotypes in over 1400 specimens from the athero express biobank study. Out of the 61 loci, 21 were associated with some black phenotype compared with zero of five negative control loci, which were chosen as established GWAS loci for bipolar disorder, which, presumably, should share limited mechanistic etiology with plaque. They used the software package VEGAS to run gene-based analyses. They also assessed SNiPA relationships with gene expression and methylation in multiple tissues derived from two independence Swedish biobanks, which included atherosclerotic arterial wall, internal mammary artery, liver, subcutaneous fat, skeletal muscle, visceral fat, and fasting whole blood.                                 One CAD locus on chromosome 7q22 that survived correction for multiple testing was associated with intraplaque fat, and was also an EQTL for expression of several genes across multiple tissues. In addition, it was also a methylation QTL.                                 The authors focused on this locus and looked at correlation of expression within the LDL receptor and noted associations with HDL and LDL cholesterol in the global lipids genetics contortion data, which suggests that this locus may have a role in the metabolism. At this locus, the HBP1 gene expressed foam cells may be an interesting candidate as a causal gene in determining plaque-lipid accumulation and cardiovascular risk.                                 So next up, we have a paper that is also about athero and is coauthored by many of the same group as did that previous study. So yeah, this group's productivity is kind of making the rest of us look bad this month. So Martin Siemelink, Sander van de Lann, and Gerard Pasterkamp and their colleagues published, "Smoking is Associated to DNA Methylation in Atherosclerotic Carotid Lesions."                                 Okay. So I think one of the few things we can all definitely agree on is that smoking is bad. But, does smoking exert any of its cardiovascular damage by altering within atherosclerotic plaques? That's the question this group set out to answer.                                 They carried out a two-stage epigenome-wide association study, or EWAS, with discovery and replication of differentially methylated loci with tobacco smoking within carotid arteriosclerotic plaques of a total of 664 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy and enrolled in the arthero-expressed biobanks study. In discovery, they found 10 CpG loci within six genes that associated with smoking. Four of the CpG loci replicated. These four loci mapping within six genes showed reduced methylation in current smokers compared with former or never smokers.                                 However, there was no difference in specific plaque characteristics based on methylation at any of the four loci. There was also no significant difference in plaque gene expression at these loci based on smoking status. However, a SNiPA at a nearby locus located in the 3' UTR of the PLEKHGB4 Gene was associated with methylation at AHRR, and was a [inaudible 00:09:58] QTL for PLEKHGB4 of expression but not a AHRR expression. The authors speculate that PLEKHGB4 may co-regulate AHRR expression. The authors also examined blood methylation in a subset of the same subjects, and they were able to replicate previously identified CPG sites associated with smoking.                                 This is a really complex area, and it's hard to identify mechanisms and causality from these multiple layers of data, but the authors demonstrate the importance of using disease relevant tissues to start to understand how environmental factors interact with genetics and other underlying physiology to modify methylation and function within the vasculature.                                 Our final full-length research paper this issue from Brian Byrd and colleagues Michigan, is actually the subject of our interview today. So I won't go into too much detail on it right now, but keep listening for an interview with Brian about their paper, "Human Urinary mRNA as a Biomarker of Cardiovascular Disease: A Proof-of-Principle Study of Sodium-Loading in Prehypertension."                                 Our review article this month is about the "Dawn of Epitranscriptomic Medicine" from Konstantinos Stellos from Newcastle University and Aikaterini Gatsiou from Goethe-Universität Frankfurt. In this paper, they're taking us to the next level beyond just RNA, but towards RNA epigenetics. Given the large number of possible modifications that can and are made to RNA during RNA name metabolism, there's huge potential to gain a new biological and mechanistic understanding by studying the RNA epitranscriptome. I think we'll ignore this at our peril. So if you need to catch up on this new field, this comprehensive review will get you right up to speed.                                 Moving on, our research letters are short format papers that allow authors to present focused results. These are also a great avenue to submit findings from replication studies that might not necessitate a full-length paper. So if you have some data from a replication study that you've been procrastinating writing up, a short research letter is a great format to consider.                                 This month, Bertrand Favre, Luca Borradori and coauthors from Bern University Hospital published a letter entitled, "Desmoplakin Gene Variants and Risk for Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy: Usefulness of a Functional Biochemical Assay." The desmoplakin is essential for the cell-cell adhesion complex's desmosomes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a wide range of phenotypes, including some in skin and hair, but also in heart, which can manifest arrhythmogenic or dilated cardiomyopathy. This protein anchors intermediate filaments, so mutations that alter binding to intermediate filaments may pathogenicity.                                 The author selected seven reported amino acid altering mutations in desmoplakin, and they screened for effects on binding using a novel fluorescence binding assay. They found that three of the seven mutations had a clear impact on binding. This assay is a novel way to assess functional impact of desmoplakin variants, and may be useful to inform the severity of future phenotypes in individuals carrying a desmoplakin mutation.                                 Finally, if you want to stay up-to-date on the genetics of aortic disease and Marfan syndrome, you can find a letter from Christian Groth and colleagues and an author response from Norifumi Takeda and colleagues regarding their previously published paper on impact of pathogenic FBN1 variant types on the progression of aortic disease in patients with Marfan syndrome.                                 I am joined today by Dr. Brian Byrd from the University of Michigan, who is the senior author on a Manuscript published in this month's issue, entitled, "Human Urinary mRNA as a Biomarker of Cardiovascular Disease: A Proof-of-Principle Study of Sodium-Loading in Prehypertension."                                 So welcome Brian. Thanks so much for coming on the podcast. Brian Byrd:          Thank you for having me. Jane Ferguson: So before we get started, could you give a brief introduction of yourself to the listeners and maybe tell us a little bit about how you got into the field? Brian Byrd:          Absolutely. So I am a cardiologist and a physician scientist. I'm an assistant professor at the University of Michigan, where I have a laboratory engaged in clinical investigation. My background is that I did my Internal Medicine Residency at Vanderbilt University. And after I finished residency, I entered Nancy Brown's lab. She's the Chair of Medicine at Vanderbilt, as I know you're aware. And she had a laboratory focused, and still does have a laboratory focused, on the investigation of high blood pressure, with a lot of focus on understanding high blood pressure as it occurs in humans. And I got a Master of Science degree in clinical investigation while I was in her lab, and we did some work on a number of topics related to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which has been a long-standing interest of mine ever since then.                                 So, at the same time, I was learning how to take care of patients with very complex blood pressure problems, who required three, or four, or five, or six blood pressure medications, in some cases, to control. And it's with that background that I became very interested in the science that underlies treatment-resistant high blood pressure in people and what we might be able to do about that. Jane Ferguson: Wow. Nice. Yeah and I think that background of sort of the combination of clinical and experimental is really nice and really important. I think your paper actually exemplifies that really nicely, so using humans but also some basic science techniques and combining them to really have a very patient focused instead of mechanistic interrogation.                                 So as I mentioned, you just published this really nice manuscript using urine as a source of mRNA biomarkers, which has relevance to hypertension and potentially also to other diseases. But before we get sort of too much into the weeds on the specific details, for any of our listeners who didn't get a chance to read your paper yet, maybe you could briefly summarize what you did? Brian Byrd:          Okay, so the general overview of what we were interested in was that the patients who have treatment resistant high blood pressure tend to have a lot of activation of a receptor in the kidney called the mineralocorticoid receptor. And this receptor helps control salt in bladder in the body. Obviously the amount of salt in the blood stays very, very homeostatic, but we if eat more salt one day then the next and there needs to be a system to help regulate the homeostasis. And so, you waste more or less salt in the urine depending upon how much sodium you're taking in.                                 And one of the functions of the mineralocorticoid receptor is to control this salt and bladder regulation or to fine tune it anyway. And the reason we know that that's an important receptor in patients with treatment-resistant high blood pressure is because of a series of studies done by David Calhoun and Brian Williams and others, showing that mineralocorticoid receptor blockers, or antagonists, are very effective in the treatment of tough to control high blood pressure.                                 And so, we had some insight that there would be something interesting to study there, and one of the things that we knew was that the mineralocorticoid receptor is a ligand activated transcription factor. So when it gets activated by it's ligan which canonically is a steroid hormone from the adrenal gland aldosterone, the receptor, which is in the cytoplasm, ordinarily dimerizes and translocates to the nucleus, where it controls the regulation of a number of genes. We also were aware that cells secrete RNA, and others had the idea that it might be inside vesicles because there's a lot of ribonuclease and biofluids. And you would think it might be difficult to pass the RNA if it were sort of naked as it were.                                 And it turns out that that's right. If you, for example, introduced synthetic RNAs into biofluids, the RNAs will be gone very quickly in a matter of seconds. So, we had this idea that we might be able to look at RNA that was being secreted by cells probably in vesicles, and assay the activity of the receptor potentially. We weren't sure if that was going to be possible or not.                                 One of the things we did was we used part of the available data to look at the transcriptome of vesicles in the urine that had been isolated from 3300 milliliters of urine by ultracentrifugation [inaudible 00:18:57]. Jane Ferguson: So it's a big centrifusion. Brian Byrd:          Exactly. Jane Ferguson: Like you [inaudible 00:19:00] Brian Byrd:          It must have been some project. So that was the work of Kevin Miranda and colleagues, and we were able to compare that transcriptome to the transcriptome of human kidney cortex samples from the GTEx project, which a large consortium focused on human transcriptomics.                                 And that was sort of the first part of what we presented in this paper, and the second thing that we did was we looked within a crossover study in a collaboration with Scott Hummel, one of my close collaborators here at the University of Michigan. We looked at individuals who had been put on a low salt diet activating renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and causing more activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor. And then, those same individuals underwent saline infusion, so salt loading, and we knew that that would suppress the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. And we measured the [inaudible 00:20:02] measures of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, but we also took the urine samples that had been recently banked from that experiment and we centrifuged them to try to palette the cells. We took the supernatant and we extracted RNA after trying to enrich for extracellular vesicles.                                 And with that approach, we measure targets that we thought would be regulated my the mineralocorticoid receptor, as well as some things that we did not think would be regulated by mineralocorticoid receptor. So that's the general overview of what we undertook. Jane Ferguson: Great. Right. So it's very cool. I guess we can break it down into sort of the two different parts, because I think it was a really nice examples of using public data to sort of start addressing your question and then actually doing a human experiment. But so for the GTEx data and the urinary data, you looked at few different tissues, right? And was kidney the one that you were thinking upfront would sort of most likely to correlate, or were you also looking at bladder and other sort of tissues that could potentially be of relevance to urine? But what sort of the ... I guess sort of tell me more about those different tissues that you looked at and what you found and what surprised you or not. Brian Byrd:          Great question. So, the kidney was on our minds from the outset. We knew that Mark Knepper at the National Institute of Health had published in the [inaudible 00:21:25] National Academy of Sciences back in 2004 that there are urinary extracellular vesicles. And he had found proteins that are very characteristic of the aldosterone sensitive distal nephron, that part of the kidney that we're interested in, embedded in the vesicles.                                 So we became quite interested in the idea that it seemed that there was likely a population of vesicles in the urine that is of kidney origin. And that's not to say that there weren't also plenty of vesicles from other origins as well, and there could very well be RNA that is not vesicle enclosed, but is rather ribonucleic protein bound or even bound to other carriers potentially. That could be there as well, and it's possible that the origin of those things could be any number of tissues. I don't really think that we know yet where the possible tissue origins are.                                 But we were curious to know ... I guess the direct answer to your question is we thought from the outset that we probably would find some sort of signal related to the kidney. But we wanted to also consider the possibility that our findings were not very specific to the kidney. And so we thought that the brain would be an interesting negative control. If we say very high correlation with the brain, it would suggest that maybe what we're looking for is a signal that's not really coming from the kidney.                                 And we also wanted to look at the bladder just to try to understand whether or not the signals that we're detecting could be coming from the bladder. It's certainly true that some aspects of the system that we're interested in are present in the bladder, so I wondered whether that might even serve as a signal amplifier for what we were looking for since there's, presumably, quite a bit of bladder tissue right around the urine. It might be contributing vesicles.                                 So that's sort of the rationale for why we looked at those things. Jane Ferguson: And you found mostly enrichment for kidneys. So sort of I guess what you were hoping to find came true? That actually there was sort of evidence that even though there may be contribution from other tissues, that really kidney seem to be the predominant contributor to the expression of the genes in the urine. Brian Byrd:          I think there's a lot of truth to that. One of the things I would say is we found high correlation looking across all genes. But it occurred to us ... As soon as we thought that, we realized, wait a second, that could be driven by ubiquitously expressed genes. Housekeeping genes.                                 So we really wanted to stratify our analysis by things we thought would be expressed in the kidney as well as things that we thought would be ubiquitously expressed to make sure that we could see signals that correlate ... That the transcriptome of the kidney, per se, had a good correlation with those same in terms of the abundance of the gene counts or recounts. They said it was similar to what was in the vesicles.                                 And so, we looked in the literature, and we found that a group had already established a number, 55 genes actually, that were highly kidney enriched as well as over 8000 genes that were ubiquitously expressed. And so we started the analysis from this perspective of the stratification. We thought that was a very important aspect of the analysis. And it's definitely true that if you look at our findings with respect to the kidney enriched genes, as you might expect, they correlate quite well with what is in the urinary extracellular vesicles compared to the kidney cortex.                                 You look at the brain as you might expect the expression of those kidney enriched genes is not well correlated with what's happening in the urine. And then, with respect to the bladder, it's sort of somewhere in between. Jane Ferguson: Okay. Interesting. So I know that some people look at small non-coding RNAs in urine, but you were mostly focused on mRNAs. Is that right? Brian Byrd:          That's right. I thought of this as sort of frontier, something that I knew from some early publications was probably measurable. But I didn't know what it would signify, if anything, with respect to physiology. And I knew that there were quite a few papers about micro RNAs and I wanted to do something a little bit innovated, partly.                                 But the main reason that I was interested in the RNAs was because I could relatively easily tie those to the existing literature from animal models. Preclinical animal models and cell culture studies showing what happens when the mineralocorticoid receptor's activated. That was really the driving reason that I was interested in the RNA. Because if you think about what is the approximate event that might be a readout for activation of a new growth hormone receptor like the mineralocorticoid receptor, it's really the transcriptional events that happen when the receptors translocates to the nucleus and serves its ligan activated transcription factor role. Jane Ferguson: Right. So, [inaudible 00:26:43] sort of the first part of analysis, you saw these really nice correlations between expression and kidney and in urine. And then, a lot of the times when you tried to publish that kind of thing, people are like, "Okay, so what? So you didn't do any intervention. We don't really know what that means."                                 But I like that you took it to the next step and you did sort of a human intervention experimental model. So tell me more about that model and how that worked. Brian Byrd:          Right. Well, I'll just mention also that the work that was done in terms of RNA [inaudible 00:27:14] was done in collaboration with Mark Bertini in Italy as well as Dr. [inaudible 00:27:19]. They were fundamental to getting that work done.                                 With respect to the collaboration with Scott Hummel, one of my colleagues here at the University of Michigan, what we did in that setting was to look at whether or not we could identify within these urinary mRNA signals that are in the supernatant in the urine, whether we could identify changes in physiology. That was the question that was of greatest interest scientifically.                                 And for a very practical or blind perspective, the question was could we detect the activation of the receptor that might determine whether or not people should get a certain medication. Of course, we're not saying that that's an established fact yet, but this is sort of concept, that there's something here to explore further.                                 And so, what we found was that a number of genes that are regulated by the mineralocorticoid receptor, including genes encoding the subunits of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel that regulates the salt that I was talking about earlier. We found that those genes changed with sodium loading in terms of their abundance in the expected direction.                                 We also found that several of the assays that we made changed ... I'm sorry. That they correlated with the serum aldosterone concentration. So the concentration of the ligan for the receptor whose readout we were looking for. And we also noticed an inverse correlation with urinary sodium excretion, which is what we would expect if we really identified a readout of the mineralocorticoid receptor's activity.                                 So this study supported the idea that we have identified a way to measure this nuclear hormone receptors activity in living humans. Jane Ferguson: Right. Which is really nice. So there's probably a huge amount of extra things you could do with this, some sort of different ways you could look at it. So how did you pick the time point? So, I suppose when you think about it, I mean the genes, they're transcribed and then that takes a little bit of time, and then it takes a little bit of time for that to sort of make its way into the urine and to be excreted.                                 So how did you decide on sort of what time points to use, and do you think you would see the same things or different things [inaudible 00:29:39] if you did repeated sampling or if you looked at different time points? Brian Byrd:          That's a fantastic question. So this was a study that had already been completed, and I had mentioned to Scott what we were working on. And he said, "You know, we have these samples from this study and it might be possible for us to collaborate."                                 So, we didn't get to pick the timeframes. Jane Ferguson: Right. Brian Byrd:          So, that's a great point. And what I would say is that, as you can imagine, we're very focused on exactly the questions you're asking now. What about sort of signal refinement? What about the chrono-biology of these signals, and how do we understand when we see what in the urine?                                 So, I'm actively pursuing those questions. Jane Ferguson: Right. So, I know as well, there was quite a lot of sort of technical challenges I think to doing this work. Sort of getting to be even able to amplify and get a signal from these RNAs that are really present, sort of pretty low abundance in urine compared to tissues or biofluids that we're used to working with.                                 So tell me maybe a little bit about that process and sort of how much optimization was required to get these essays to work? Brian Byrd:          Great question. So, I had known [inaudible 00:30:58] since 2014 when I took a course on isolation of extracellular vesicles in Heidelberg, Germany. And I had talked to him at a meeting in Washington DC, and I had mentioned what we were trying to do. And he said, "You know, if you were trying to do that, you might want to consider preamplification." You know, using something like 15 cycles of preamplification. And he was willing to share that protocol that he had with me, because they were interested in similar issues. So, I was able to use that protocol to evaluate these gene targets in the urine. And so that was immensely helpful.                                 And the other thing that we did was we used locked nucleic acid probes to try to increase the sensitivity and specificity of our assays. Finally, we just tried to use good logic in the design of the assays. So we were concerned that the RNA might be fragmented, so where it was possible to do so within the design constraints that I'll mention in a second, we made multiple assays per gene target just in case this was fragmented. Which makes the analysis a little more complicated, but I think it was probably the right thing to do, given the state of knowledge that we had then.                                 And one of the other things we did was we made sure that the primers either ... Within a primer, there was an intron or between the primers there was an intron, so that if we actually did try to amplify DNA, abundant amounts of DNA, with those primers just to make sure that our theorizing about the inability to amplify things was actually factual. And that turned out that we couldn't amplify anything at 40 cycles with those.                                 So, we spent a lot of time thinking about how not to get fooled, but also to have adequate signal detection. And have included in the supplement quite a bit of information about the technical merits of the assays and showing how close the technical replicates were. They tended to be very, very similar to one another. We didn't see a signal in every urine sample for every participant at both time points, and I think that was interesting to me about that there tended to be a very binary result, so that you'd either see three technical replicants for the QPCR assays, our QPCR assays that were extremely similar to each other, or you would see no CT value detected.                                 [inaudible 00:33:47] That these were valid assessments of very low copy numbers. Jane Ferguson: Right. And that's probably related to up front of what happens to urine right after it's collected and stored, or during that RNA extraction. But it seems like once you've got RNA, then downstream assays were sort of ... They held through, but I guess ... I mean, and you obviously didn't have necessarily a huge amount of control over how these urine samples were collected. So it's kind of nice that you were able to see something even though these were collected possibly in a way that was not optimized for preserving RNAs.                                 But do you think those ... Are there ways that you could make this even sort of more streamlined and better as far from the get go of how you collect the urine, whether you could be extracting stuff right away? Is that anything you sort of looked into of how this could be improved? Brian Byrd:          That's really been the focus of the labs work since we completed that project, is sort of understanding how would we do this in a prospective study in the best possible way so that the results are highly repeatable, that we get a CT value in everybody so that we're really ... I mean, as you can imagine, that actually has something to do with the input volume of urine that you use. So if you have too little input volume, then you won't be able to detect the targets that you might be interested in every person.                                 However, if you have more, then you can do more with that. But then you have to think about how you're going to deal with the larger volumes of urine. There are lots of questions that we've been interested in related to extract the RNA and the stability of the RNA. And so we have done some experiments of that type, and we continue to work in that area. And I do think that those questions you're asking are the right questions with respect to next steps. Jane Ferguson: All right. So you looked at sort of specific targets, which I think made a lot of sense. Sort of this proof of principle. But do you think this would work on a transcriptome wide level? I mean, could you look at all the genes, or do you think that's just sort beyond the possibility right now given sort of the RNA fragmentation and how you have to sort of amplify it before being able to detect anything? Brian Byrd:          I think it's possible. So the group that had preceded our work with 3300 mils of urine, isolating the vesicles from there, eight have showed that that's something that can be done. The question that's of interest to me is does it actually require such large volumes of urine? And I think the answer to that question is going to be no from what we're overseeing so far.                                 And so, we're thinking along exactly the lines that you are. And certainly some of the feedback we've gotten as we've discussed this project with people is, "Hey, could you look at everything rather than picking targets at [inaudible 00:36:41]."                                 I think there's advantages and disadvantages. I think we chose based on prior knowledge in a way that was rational. But at the same time, it may turn out that there are many things about activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor in humans, especially in the living in-tact human, that don't exactly mirror what's found in rabbits, rats, mice or cells, which are really the systems that have been evaluated the most thoroughly in the past.                                 So I'm very interested in exactly what you're proposing. Jane Ferguson: Yeah. I mean, I think it's exciting because it's obviously relevant for hypertension, but potentially a lot of other conditions, to be able to look at that sort of dynamic change. So I think it's really exciting. It's very cool. Brian Byrd:          And I appreciate your asking about this study. We were excited to do this work and very, very excited to see where we can in the future with this. And I agree with the point you were making, that here we've gone from a rather specific application driven question and we've, I think, made some insights that are probably useful outside the application that we had in mind. And it may turn out that the application where this is the most important is not even the one that we considered in the first place at all.                                 And so I'm pleased by that. I'm pleased by the fact that I think in a sense we're working in what Donald Stokes described as pasture's quadrant, which is a sense that the work is driven both by curiosity and by an intent to use the results. Jane Ferguson: Right. Brian Byrd:          And so that's really what gets me out of bed in the morning, is working that exact space. So that's what we were glad to have done and continue to do. Jane Ferguson: Yeah. No, I think it's grea.t and I feel like a lot of people will read this paper and be like, "Hey, I have urine stored in the freezer. What can I do with this now?" Brian Byrd:          Contact me. Let's talk. We'll see what we can do. But we certainly tried to describe the methods in such a way that people could easily follow in our footsteps if they want to apply these methods. Jane Ferguson: Yeah. Now having read through them, I think that ... Really thorough. I really liked the sort of attention to detail. It was definitely one of those ones where I was like, "Oh yeah. I can see exactly how I could do this if I wanted to. So I think that was great. Brian Byrd:          Thank you. Jane Ferguson: So yeah. Congratulations on the paper. Really nice work and thanks so much for talking to me. Brian Byrd:          Thank you. It was a delight. Jane Ferguson: That's it from me for September.

Hi everyone! This is Connie Sokol, and you're listening to Balance Redefined Radio. I've spent over 20 years teaching people how to redefine what balance really is, meaning a more purposeful and joyful life.   They’ve paid off credit cards, lost weight, organize their homes, and created a meaningful life plan and they've managed their time, changed habits and experience greater success both at work and at home.   So now I decided to take the plunge and help about 100,000 new people who want to redefine balance in their lives. People ask me all the time, “How do I go from an overwhelming and chaotic life to more purpose and organization and joy?”   That's the reason why I'm doing this podcast, to give you trusted answers and create a space where you could find balance. My name is Connie Sokol and welcome to Balance Redefined Radio…   Welcome to Balance Redefined, and I am podcasting right now. If you haven't listened to the other ones, I am podcasting for my friend's basement apartment…   We'd been evacuated for the pole creek fire. We were evacuated on Thursday. It has burned 70,000 acres. It is one of the worst fires, actually the worst fire in Utah history and it is now the number one fire concern in the nation and has been upgraded to federal status and we have all that federal health that's coming in, but it is.   It's threatening homes, has been threatening homes for the last two days and it is. It is out of our hands as to far as far as what actually can be thoroughly done.   All the firefighters are doing all they can. They have been incredible…   Four hundred and 50 firefighters last night at 10,000 are expected today.   They are cutting lines, fuel lines all the way down in certain areas to try to protect the homes. They have been tireless and incredible in what they have done in fighting this fire and the horrible red flag conditions that have been present. High winds, the drought, the underbrush that is just prevalent up in the, in the forest, it's been truly a nightmare, sort of convergence of factors, but they have been incredible and how they move forward.   And I talk in my other podcast, hidden blessings about the organization of things that has been stellar…   That as far as from what I understand, what I have seen and experienced as a person that's been displaced and, and all of those things, it has been so incredible and smooth and clear and understandable and citizens have been patient and kind and helpful. It's been amazing.   So what I want to talk with you about in this particular podcast is lifesaving routines because as I alluded to in my other podcast I talked about in our community and then in my church the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints we have this particular...we have women, you know, an organization within our church that's, there's the men that are watched over and stored and their stewardship over and it's called the elders quorum and some other things there.   And then we have the women. It's Relief Society.   And that's what we call it, just because if I throw out those terms then you'll know what I'm talking about. But with this, the, the women... we had spent the last couple of years, and the person that's over that relief society (president) had been over making sure that we had emergency preparedness and I mean thorough and so helpful.   This is like, her lifeblood is doing this. And we were so prepared that as I mentioned, and I'm not gonna go into detail here, but when we had the call to evacuate, I literally walked in, grabbed my emergency binder by vital documents tub and my scrapbooks and boxes and we were out the door.   I had everything I needed, absolutely needed and was ready to go. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you.   And I want to talk about that today with those routines, these life saving routines. I want to ask you, and I'm not going to be dramatic about this, I just want to ask you in your soul, if you were told right now, get out. If like I texted my, my leader, “What should I do?” And she said, “Leave. Get out right now.” This is a real deal. What would you do? What would you take?   Who would be the first people you call?   What would be the things that you would need to wear? What would you need to have on hand?   These were things that went through my mind and I remembered this thing that my, this gal that had told me, my Relief Society President, her name's Terry. I remember her saying, “You want to have this prepared because in an emergency your mind is in a fog.”   “...Like it, it does weird things. It sort of shorts out and you'll grab one shoe, but forget the other, like those kinds of things.”   And I thought that's so true. I grabbed my little makeup bag but it didn't have any foundation in it, right? So I mean small, silly thing.   But of course I had an event that night that we had prepared for an interfaith women's event for close to 300 women, and were we going to cancel it?   We were way down south. It didn't affect them. They've made all their sacrifices to be there. Was I going to cancel it? Was I going to cancel my part in?   That was I going to let everybody just dropped that and so all of these things come into play and your mind can't really focus and even though I felt very calm and peaceful and focused, there were things that were dropped that I didn't realize that were dropped because your mind is so focused on survival and making sure that you're surviving.   It's really an incredible experience and that's why I wanted to share this with you in real time because I hope that whatever I share with you today will help you in dealing with whatever crisis you might be dealing with now or especially in the future that you will be prepared because there's that scripture.   “If you are prepared, you shall not fear,” so that you will not fear. I can tell you right now, in three days since Thursday, uh, it's Saturday now, I have not feared. Not once. There had been a few moments of tears where I have thought about the magnitude of what could happen to people in their homes and and things that could occur like this, sorry, but when I don't focus or think about it, so we're moving on.   When I don't think about it, I am good and not once in those feelings it's more of a sadness and a loss, but it is not a fear I have not feared and as a mother, a single mother of children, I have four of them with me. Then I know that that is exactly what they need.   They need a mother who is not afraid and who knows what they're doing...   Now, on the second part, I don't know so much about that, but I need to make sure I show that I know what I'm doing so that they can feel confident, that mom does know and even if not, she's moving forward. That's when you need to give to my children and that's what life saving routines will do for you.   So back to that question, what is it you would take? What is it you would put on and wear and taken that initial moment at that moment, I grabbed a tub, dumped out the laundry and put in clothes for each of us.   Just a quick underwear and shirt, pants, whatever. Dress, and through in wipes, and that little bag of makeup, and the dress that I knew I'd need to wear for that Reboot Event it was called “You got this,” reboot event, and shoes, a curling iron and just things that I knew we'd need for right now because it was just pre-evacuation status.   It was for right now that I knew that we needed. Now I didn't know that we weren't gonna be able to go back. Right. But I knew that we had everything we needed to function for that day and for the next couple of days after I had it in the car and I could get it at the store.   So I encourage you to consider, as I'm talking today, write down some notes of things that you say, “You know what? This is what I think I would need to bring her. I would need to do, or I would need to call or whatever.”   Jot these things down. Don't worry about having it in a beautiful plan where it's all laminated.   Don't worry about that. Just write things down that come to mind and you can go back and organize your thoughts later. The main thing I want to share with you before I share a couple of these thoughts is that it works.   I was given a real view and lens and understanding that this works…   What I teach to women and balance redefined women and men, what I teach to families, what I live, what my community did and my church did for being able to do these emergency preparedness things. They all worked.   Sometimes you're doing this stuff and you're thinking, oh, it's a pain and I'm doing food storage.   Like how exciting is that? Not.   And you're doing carpool. You're doing all these things. You got busy lives, right, and you're thinking, I'll get to that. I'll get to that. It all matters and it all works.   Even if I didn't use my exact emergency tubs that I used for, if we had to evacuate and I needed the meals and I did whatever, I still had those file drawers in my mind and soul and I could retrieve whatever pieces I needed in the moment to do the things that needed to be done with clarity, with joy, with confidence, with energy.   So I want you to know that this works. It cemented for me that what I've been practicing, what I've been teaching and what people have been teaching me worked. So let me share a couple of those things.   The two main categories that I'm doing right now are. The first thing is predictable rituals.   That's what I call them now. When I say rituals, I’m on not talking about some kind of a weird thing that you're doing, you know, on some sacrificial thing. I'm not talking about that.   I'm talking about these daily practices that we put into our lives, so maybe I'll call it predictable practices.   That's probably a little bit more across the board feeling and it's not in having this sort of vision in your mind that I don't want, so these predictable practices are those things that your children will be able to take and your, your spouse, your extended family members will be able to take heart in and feel confident in because these are things that you're doing on a daily basis.   These are things that are rhythms in your life, rhythms that they, that happened when they get up in the morning, it's good morning, loves they come down and there's some breakfast, wait out on the counter. Or even if it's a breakfast burrito in the microwave, it's just a predictable practice.   They know we have in our home, I have these things that we make, we call them scripture strips and so we have scriptures from different scripture, um, cannons and we have them on strips, colorful yellow, golden strips, and we put them in a cookie jar.   And then every morning we pull a scripture stripped before they go to school and we say, okay, let's read the scripture and what does that mean?   And they cannot say Jesus loves us because that's all they would say everyday, so they have to actually get a thought out of that and wow, first thing in the morning, it sets their whole mindset on that spiritual plane and opens that up for them to have any kind of spiritual download during the day.   So not that they necessarily do or they even think that they do, but I as a mom, belief they do. So that makes me a stellar mom. So that's why we do it. So again, that's a predictable practice. Then we have family, we have the family prayer in the morning before they leave.   We have family prayer at night. We do this before our meals. These are predictable practices. We have scripture at night that we listened to. Now I have to tell you, last fall, when I talked with my kids, I said, “What is a way that we can study scripture? Because I know, I know studying scripture matters. I know it creates a protection to us spiritually and even temporarily, I know that it creates this spiritual force that opens us up to blessings and protects us from certain things. I know that it does that no matter who's reading it.”   And so I know that it's important, but, you know, try to get your kids excited about scripture. Reading okay, right?   I've been doing this for years and we've like about condo fisticuffs and scripture reading, right?   That, I mean, well, you know, wars are in the Bible, so there you are. But anyway, so I said, “Okay, family, what do we want to do? How do we want to do this?” And we said, “Let's listen to scripture at night.”   Now in my mind I'm thinking, “How loser is that?” Like we're just laying there listening to scripture, you know, there are tuning out, you know, they're not really listening. Most of the time they're getting one thought and they're like, okay, put that in my back pocket in case mom asks, but we did it. And do you know the Canon of scripture that we're reading? We're almost done.   It's September. It's almost been a year and we're almost done with that Canon of scripture just by reading it. I mean listening to it at night, what I thought was so lame when guess what?   We added on listening at the fire pit outside and we added on being able to have a yummy herbal tea and having a snack or cuddling on the bed. So we've added these things.   Again, it's been a predictable practice. Doesn't mean we've done it perfectly, but we've done it. I would say my, you know, I'm a b plus or so about 80 to 90 percent of the time and I have to tell you these things.   Oh, the other two that I wanted to share was a family council. We have family council, we have family night on Monday and we have family councils especially about like our schedule for the week or about things that were going to do trips.   We're going to take what we want to do for the weekend when different things come to us are unexpected. I say KC Family Council and we get the family by and I help them to get their opinions, want to know what they think is the best way to do something and then move forward.   So family council and the last thing was gratitude…   We emphasize gratitude and our home, and I'll tell you, sometimes it's through clenched teeth.   I'm so grateful that you picked up your room even though your bathroom looks like something's going to come out of the toilet. Right? I've tried to practice gratitude and try to help them to say it in a kind way like, “Oh, if you were saying that your sister is total annoying and frustrating, maybe you could say, wow, she's not being as helpful today as she could be.” Right?   And you know how well that's gone over...   Like it's not like they jump up and there they're carrying a basket of daffodils to each other, but trying to be practicing gratitude. Okay, so predictable practices.   I have to tell you, this works. This works in this crisis. I have to tell you, we've been displaced.   We went to a friend's house for a couple of hours and then we went to our friend's house that we're at now.   We're in podcasting and this tripod is sitting on top of my son's Lego box. As I'm sitting on her bed. You can hear lawnmowers outside... we are, we are displaced. And yet we are doing these predictable practices.   We had family council last night. We had, we'd been having family, scripture and listening, and it's been soothing and comforting.   In fact, the place we chose last night happened to be this beautiful section of scripture that was just perfect of the savior actually surrounding the children with this protective fire.   Isn't that incredible? Like the chances of that are, you know, unreal…   But it was, it was amazing to be able to go through that and we all felt comforted and we even had a community united prayer last night at 8:00. I mean, that's these practices that are working.   We've talked about gratitude. We have family council about what we want to do with this, where we're staying and we don't know how long we're gonna stay.   And so we had a family council and said, “You know what, let's make it our home. Let's go to Walmart today and let's go get some stuff and we'll just get some plants, will get some cute little things and just a few. Just things that make us feel like we're at home and let's make our home where we are.”   These are predictable practices. This has made all the difference. It has kept us calm. It has kept us focused...   It is kept as in tune with God and remember, whatever that is for you, higher power, the universe, whatever. It's kept us in tune and open to receiving his gifts and his love.   So that's predictable practices. What are the predictable practices in your life, in your family's life?   What are those that your children can count on when trouble comes, because now is the time to do them. When the skies are clear, when there isn't smoke, literally billowing over a mountain range. When the skies are clear, is that time for you to do it? Now we know that fire is still burning. We know it's burned. Seventy thousand acres.   We know we're still not in our home and we don't know if we'll ever be able to go back, but we have faith. We have faith that we will. We have faith that those firefighters are doing all they can.   We have faith that we can pray and there's nothing more we can do. There's nothing they want us to do to go down and help so we can pray and I gotta tell you...   I have another podcast that talks about what happened at that reboot event and why I chose to go there and the blessings that came out of that, but I have to tell you the power of prayer is real and so this predictable practice gives my kids and myself as a life tool belt to be able to turn to during these moments and whatever that is for you. My kids are going to have…   One of them is getting ready to leave home. She's already had an experience of being out on her own for the last three months. She was nannying in France and she had to turn to prayer and to these spiritual practices that she knew and have been using in our family, so these predictable practices are real and they work, so write down three to five predictable practices that you think will be key in your family and they don't even have to be quote unquote, spiritual.   I wake my children in a joyful, happy matter every morning. I do...   This is something that I've made a promise that I will greet them with joy and love. After that, all bets are off, but I greet them with joy and love and how do I get responded to have a more minutes. I'm so tired, right? It doesn't matter.   I greet them with joy and love, and then after that, it's their choice how they're going to face today, so predictable practices, three to five. What are those things that you can feel are gonna need to be put into play in your family that will also help you through a crisis?   The second piece of this is regular routines. This is so crucial. This is a little different than predictable practices. Those are more of those touchy feely, got to have that spiritual, intuitive feeling, groundedness, right?   Regular routines are the day to day pragmatic things. These are the things that need to happen. I've got a snack laid out for them when they come home from school now, not every single day, and it's not like it's out on pinterest. Right? It's not like that.   Put a little cheese and crackers and some grapes. Okay, we're good. Or some yummy quito cookies or something like that. It's not like I have this big gourmet fair, but they have a predictable routine and they know I'm going to get a download of their day. Okay.   Your life may be different. Maybe you work full time right, and you're not there. That's fine. Get rid of the guilt and set up a regular routine that you can say, this is how this flows so that they know when you're going to be there and how it's gonna roll.   So the thing that struck me with this regular routines, it was so tender I cannot even express to you...   So here we've gone and stopped at a friends house just to sort of re retool and have a few hours and then we came here to my friend's basement apartment, which the space, I swear it was left open for us because she'd been looking for someone to be in here and haven't found someone yet and we're able to just come right in.   So it's, you know, it's in one of these beautiful older homes in Provo.   So we're down in the basement and it's one of those, it's like she has a, she has a daybed, kind of like a fold out couch kind of thing and then she has a bed in the other room but it's a little bit minimal, you know, as far as like actual furnishings and things and she hasn't really moved forward on it.   So it's not like it's all like incredibly, you know, decked out and things like that.   But it is lovely. And she has, she goes, come, I've got beds, I got linens, I've got, I've got whatever you need. Got Towels. So we come in here and we were not prepared for the sweetness.   That was awaiting as we come in at this time, it's Friday, that's yesterday and it's September 14th and it's my daughter's birthday, so my 18 year old turned 19 during this whole melee. Right. In fact when it hit midnight from the Thursday, the Friday, her and I were still up and we were the only one's awake and I had a cupcake from the event, the reboot event that you got this reboot and I had brought up a couple of cupcakes for the kids up to the room and I had one cupcake left and so she pulled up on her phone.   My daughter pulled up a candle that was lit on the phone and she put it right by the cupcake and I sang happy birthday...   To her it was the most tender experience…   I posted about it on Instagram, but it was the most tender experience. So here it's her birthday. Right. But it's kind of getting shoved back in a little bit at this melee.   So we go to this friend's house, then we come to here to this basement apartment. We walk in...It's at night. What's time was it like...I don't know what 8:39 at night. We're tired. I haven't showered. I, I'm really needing to just like get everybody set and get them where they need to be in trying to keep all happy and positive…   We walk in and this good woman, we come into this basement apartment and she has the bed is made up like Ikea. I'm going to post pictures of it with the little rose pillows, and the turn down comforters, and we go into the kitchen, and we opened the fridge, and she has snacks, and yogurts, and drinks, and goldfish, and bottled water, and milk.   And then we look on the counter and she set out breakfast items and paper plates and there's cops in their spoons. She did, I mentioned is a mother of nine.   She's also going to school and it isn't until later that I found out that she has an assignment that she didn't know it was due by midnight and it's like by now it's like 9:30 or something at night.   And she is talking to me like she's got all the time in the world!   We go into the other rooms. She has got the bathroom set up beautifully. We go into the hallway and she's got a little “Happy Birthday.” You know those little letters that say happy birthday hanging on the wall. I literally was almost in tears. Can I tell you that is a regular routine? She set up our home. That is what I'm talking about.   A routine. What are the routines that make your home run like a home? We came in, we had bathroom things, we had towels, we had a place to sleep. She even had a little pad and a sleeping bag and a steamed Lightening McQueen pillow for my six year old son all set to go.   It fit all of us…   Everything that could have been considered was considered for our comfort. She had created a working home and she said it took her only about an hour. I'm like an hour. I was dying. That's an hour. She could have been doing her stuff. And she said, “I did it with a cheerful heart.”   She said, “I considered it a joy.” Isn't that so her? I, I just, I can't wait. I'm going to have to interview her. You got to meet this woman, so I just want you to know this is what we came and were greeted with.   She had set up our home so quickly that we were able to then put our stuff away and get ready for our predictable practices our scripture, our prayer... I'm getting notices the whole time on the fire and I'm able to just move through it because all of these things are set.   So think in your mind, “What are some of the regular routines?”   Food, how do you do your groceries so that there's food in the house and there's things for this kind of a situation where you would have paper plates, you'd have extra in your pantry. Doesn't mean you have to have a huge pantry. Doesn't mean you have to have this extensive food storage, but what's in your food pantry?   You don't think that I'm writing notes on this. I have these things in my house, but now I know when someone is a refugee, these are some of the things that they need right off the bat.   When you're in crisis, these are some of the things you're going to need. How can you set up your home quickly? You need a space for the bathroom stuff.   You need a space for being able to have the toothbrushes and the toothpaste, the whatever you need for your evening, like taking off your, your makeup or whatever. Wipes. Definitely need wipes.   You need a place for the food and the kitchen. We didn't have a dining room table or anything in here and she said, wait a second, I've got this old table out in the hallway, so are in this closet.   So we went to the closet and yet was an old card like flip table thing, you know, and she's like the top. It was kind of ripped the melamine or whatever it was was ripped and she's like, I'll get a table cloth.   We set that table up with this cute little checkered cloth.   Boom. Four chairs done for folding chairs.   Done are eating space is set up, so now we have a wash cleaning space, we have a food space in the kitchen, we've got food now we have our sleeping spaces, we've got those set up and now we have our eating space together as a family.   So can you see these routines? How predictable this is because guess what those regular routines are, where do you eat and when? When do you shower? When do you bathe? When do you grocery shop? When do you do your laundry? When do you do your cleaning as a family, where do they keep their things?   All of those regular routines matter and having a routine, and I'm loving this because I teach women how to do this simply and easily to do the cleaning, the deep clean, the daily do's, how to do their laundry quickly and streamline it, how to do their, their organizing of their bills and things like that and streamline it.   How to make it so it's total so you can take it as you go, oh my goodness, am I having such a validation of the things that I've been teaching women for 20 years and how important this is because in a crisis, it doesn't matter if you're being evacuated or if you're staying at home and you're just experiencing a health crisis or something.   You are able to in that moment, recreate your home environment wherever you are, and that's what we did in the most beautiful thing to close this up. This morning I woke up and I walked out into the other room where the kids were sleeping and right there on that makeshift table with that tablecloth.   My daughter had set up for the table ready for breakfast. Was that the cutest thing? We watched these scripts for videos and we watched one on ruth and it.   It was showing depicting when ruth left with her mother in Law Naomi and how she went with her and they went into Satan's old kind of rundown home. That used to be.   I was imagining it used to be their home, but they went in at night and it was just kind of a sort of a scriptural depiction of what it could be like and so ruth has Naomi go to sleep because Naomi's elderly and ruth works through the night to clean and tidy this, this really poverty stricken home.   There's hardly anything there, but she makes it all nice and pretty for when Ruth and Naomi wakes up in the morning and I looked at this table that was set up for breakfast and I'll post it on social media and she even put a little block that I got at the reboot event that you got this women Reba reboot.   We got a little block, the three founders from one of the founders, mothers that said, you got this. She had found it at a bookstore and so I had thrown that into the tub to take with us when we left the hotel and she put that little block on the table.   So I stood there staring at this beautifully made up table with paper plates and spoons and little napkins in the paper.   The plastic cups and this little block at this at the top of the table that said, you got this beautiful. That's regular routines. That is the power of my friends have these life saving routines. It creates calm, it creates order. It creates peace. It creates continuity. It creates security.   It creates regular rhythms that children and adults can rely on so that their energy can be used for dealing with whatever comes emotionally and whatever may come physically that is unexpected.   So I implore you to write down what are three to five of those predictable practices and what are three to five of those regular routines that you can get working to a b plus degree in your home right now to create without a crisis.   That calm assurance, confidence and and consistency. All right.   Stay tuned for more and have more podcasts and things I'm learning from this Pole Creek Fire experience and hopefully you're learning some great things to remember.

Night Listeners of 98.9FM KFMG -It's September and it is our tenth week on air. Who could have imagined I could keep this up for this long? Most of my friends can't, but that's OK. This week I have Luke Dickens on the program who recently opened the doors to his own record shop in the Beaverdale neighborhood in Des Moines called Vinyl Cup. Luke brings a playlist of tunes that I have never played on the show before. I felt like the odd man out as he and studio manager Gary Monte connected on their mutual love for Catfish Keith. Luke's choices are a breath of fresh air, although I disagree with him on the idea that William Elliot Whitmore is underappreciated... especially among his lady fans. So to offset his playlist I spin some tracks from Captain Three Leg, Broken Ones, and Fetal Pig. Also, a long forgotten band called Beef Wellington from Cedar Rapids makes their debut tonight.-Kristian#trustkristiandayListen Now!

Today is a special day, so we have a special episode :) It's September 11, 2018, and that means it's Maya's 2nd birthday! Not only is Maya turning 2 today, but the Doing It At Home podcast itself is turning 2! So in today's special episode we recap what the past two years have been like, and reply our original retelling of Maya's birth (which original aired days after her birth in 2016). Thank you all for being a part of the DIAH community the past two years!

Its September, which means it’s time for Apple’s yearly iPhone event. With the iPhone X lineup to be updated and expanded to include a revised iPhone Xs, the introduction of the iPhone Xc or Xr, depending on the latest rumour, and the larger iPhone Xs Max, this year’s offerings will offer more on Apple’s drive to remove as much complexity from the device as possible to deliver an all screen experience. With the rumours of new iPads featuring a similar design, a slimmer Apple Watch, and possibly more Macs on the way, Apple is poised to make a lot of money in the latter half of 2018 with these products. Steve and Ben give a quick preview of the 2018 iPhone event and reflect on how their own requirements for tech have changed over the years, with the advent of the smartphone becoming a PC replacement.

It's September 11, 2018 - 17 years after a series of coordinated terrorist attacks took the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans. It's very fitting that 9/11 falls on episode 200 because this event is one of the foundational reasons why we come to the mic every single day. This podcast was created to prepare, train and motivate ourselves and our listeners to be better than the average citizen; someone who runs towards others in need, someone who is ready to take the fight to evil. I can honestly say, if 9/11 never happened, this show might not exist. Enjoy! Show-notes can be found at Wastedammo.com/200

It's September 10th and we are back with our first formal episode. Today we recap some of the show's main topics and talk a little bit about the behind the scenes of the day.

It's September! And this month we're reading The Nowhere Child, a 2018 debut novel by Australian author Christian White (home town represent!). What would you do if a stranger came along one day and told you that you had been kidnapped as a small child, and that your parents weren't really your parents? The Nowhere Child is a suspenseful page turner that will keep you guessing until the bitter end. So read it in time for our next main episode, out at the end of September. Happy Reading! Make sure you leave the lights on!

It's a funny thing, recording a podcast every other week in 2018. You just never know. Maybe you record on a quiet Sunday night thinking that everything will be chill for a day or two and then EVERYTHING HAPPENS, EVERYTHING. It's September! Dan is back in Chicago! Maureen is...flat on her back in New York with the return of the Terrible Stomach Flu Or Some Kind Of Poisoning. To entertain Maureen as she is in her bed of pain, Dan recounts the many events that have transpired. Michael Cohen. Paul Manafort. The death of Senator McCain and McCain's posthumous message to Trump and America. The flag that went up and down and up and down. Trump tweeting...so much. And there's a new book coming! And it sounds like it is REALLY SOMETHING. Dan and Maureen read some of the previews. What DOES happen when you put a snake, a rat, a falcon, a rabbit, a shark and a seal in a zoo without walls? Who would do that? Is a zoo without walls even a zoo? Dan and Maureen consider this for some time. Also, Dan is done with John Kelly. Done. Maureen is sipping Coke over crushed ice and trying not to barf. And so are we all, Sayswhovians. So are we all. It's fall, Sayswhovia. It's game time. CANDLES Maureen's book Truly Devious is on sale everywhere. Go buy it, you!

It's September – back to school time for a lot of kids, and for some adults, including Mrs. Anna Harris, a 73 year woman in pursuit of her GED. On this episode, we confront some of the sobering statistics surrounding education in Baltimore and learn more about Learning is for Tomorrow, or LIFT, an organization that believes in the limitless potential of adult learners. Guests on this episode include: Mark Pettis, Executive Director, LIFT. Tara Brown, Assistant Professor, University of Maryland, College of Education.

It's September, which means it's back to school, and your first lesson is on DISTURBING BEHAVIOR, the 1998 teen sci-fi horror starring James Marsden, Katie Holmes and Nick Stahl, as well as Bruce Greenwood and a bunch of other old creepy Canadian people. Set in an idyllic small town where the good kids seem a little too good (if you ignore all the killing), this movie made us question the motivations of everyone, man, it's like they're all robots or zombies of society, Man. But how does it hold up now? Listen here to find out. Also subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher. Also, follow us on Facebook or Twitter.

Please Nationals, stop making us have to update our theme song. This episode Resting Pitchface discusses not just the loss of Gio Gonzalez but many players we've loved and lost over the years. Joined by familial special guest Hannah, we walk back all the way to Lastings Milledge and try to find some perspective. Also, all the games of the Women's Baseball World Cup are still on YouTube if you missed them, so if you want to know who were talking about when we talk about Jade Gortarez or Ayami Sato, you should check those out. It's September folks, here comes the clown car bullpen....cart. Episode 41 - Spiritual Grain Beetles

It's September, which means my 60 Days of Halloween coverage has officially begun!! This year, I will be doing themed weeks with the theme of each week being a fear of either myself, my co-host Eric, or my special guest for the week. I'll be doing shorter, review episodes during the course of the week, culminating in an in-depth analysis episode at the end of the week to really dive into why each film was so terrifying. I'm kicking things off by focusing on my fear (as a new parent) of being a father. First up in my parenting fear week is: A Quiet Place. Even though Lucas and I very recently did an analysis episode of A Quiet Place, it is such a great film and it does a great job of capturing the fear of how one small mistake can have a lasting impact - I just couldn't leave it off my list! Be sure to check back tomorrow for the next episode in 60 Days of Halloween as we continue Parenting Fear Week with: Cargo!! gargylereviews.wixsite.com/thegargyle music by bensound.com

What do you do if you have an interference problem? Rick Hartley is an industry leader in the correct design of circuits and PC boards to prevent and solve noise, signal integrity and EMI problems. He consults and teaches internationally and he has taught seminars at numerous conferences, including the IEEE EMC Symposium, PCB West, IPC Apex/Expo and others. He is a past member of the Editorial Review Board of Printed Circuit Design Magazine and has written numerous technical papers and articles on methods to control noise, EMI and signal integrity. Listen to this episode where Rick shares the worst ideas for a 4-layer and 6-layer stackups. He also offers a sneak peek of what to expect at his AltiumLive 2018 Keynote Presentation: The Extreme Importance of PC Board Stack-up. Show Highlights: Contest - can you guess how many countries the OnTrack podcast has reached? You can win a Summit pass to be Judy’s personal guest at AltiumLive 2018! Just tag #OnTrackPodcast on Twitter with your best guess! Mid-80s - in digital domain things started to not work right and no one had answers. There was research to do (120 books later), learned what causes function vs. not function In the 90s, began to realize the problem wasn’t clock frequency, the problem is the frequency associated with the rising and falling edges of signals. Person who helped me the most - Ralph Morrison I didn’t learn what I needed in college, it had to come from experience. Energy and Fields and how they move - the energy is in the fields, not in the Voltage and current. Field dielectric / routing AltiumLive Keynote talk: The Extreme Importance of PC Board Stack-up If I’m contacted with an Interference problem, the question I ask is: “What is your printed circuit board stackup?” The most critical item is the board stackup, and it’s what people most often get wrong. Two or three voltage planes in a stackup with no grounds anywhere - a very serious problem e.g. high layer count board, 20 ground planes in board + signal routed on layer 1 and ground plane on layer 2 - return - 100% of signal on layer 1 would be in ground plane on layer 2. No current from that trace would be in any other ground layers, because energy is in the dielectric between layers 1 and 2 With 2 or 3 signal layers, and then a plane - all signals try to reference one plane, all fields intermingling in the dielectric space, all coupling energy into one another and that’s one of the places where EMI comes from. It’s a matter of keeping fields isolated from one another for proper functioning. 4-Layer worst stack-up 6-Layer worst stack-up What to expect at AltiumLive (Early bird pricing - 10% off through end of July.) Setting the record straight: 15 years ago, Rick wrote a paper called ‘Board Stackup to Control EMI’ and “some ideas that I suggested in that paper, I have since learned are not good ideas.” Ignore this paper because the physics have changed. The speeds have become too fast.

Thank you again for joining. We want to thank you so much for continuing to listen and we wanted to share with you that from May to June the listenership has doubled and absolutely exploded because I have amazing guests like I have today. Which is Rick Hartley. But before we get going with Rick, I wanted to give a few of you a shout out. I wanted to say thank you for the notes and ideas for the show that you sent: To Daud Zoss, I'm sorry if I'm killing your name; Dave Rehack, Spencer Kelly gave us some really good ideas for our future shows. Enoch Sotello and also a nice sharp shout out from a LinkedIn group, the Arkansas Signal Integrity community and I'm sure you guys will enjoy hearing from Rick today. So I thought I'd throw a fun thing out there since AltiumLive is going to be hosted in San Diego, October 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I thought I'd give you a little trivia question today. So can you guess how many countries the OnTrack Podcast has reached? If you guess close to the number, then I you will be my personal guest at AltiumLive and I'll give you a free ticket there. So how about that? So you can tweet your answers using the hashtag #ontrackpodcast. So whoever is closest, and we will announce the winner on our next podcast. Thanks again for listening. So today we are talking to, in fact, one of our keynote speakers for AltiumLive, a dear friend and longtime associate, Rick Hartley and I'm sure for many of you, he is no stranger and he is a celebrated speaker. He's been a leader in IPC for many years and a very gifted designer. So Rick, welcome thank you so much for joining me today, it's a joy to have you. Thank you Judy, it's a pleasure to be here. So what I thought we'd talk about today Rick, well first let's queue up and tell people who may not know you - the six people on the planet that may not know Rick Hartley - a little bit about your education and your background and sort of how you became a signal integrity guru? Oh, you want me to tell this? Yes I do. I'll try to make it brief. Okay. I basically started life in 1965 as a technician with a two-year tech degree and working for a large company in the east, and I spent a couple of years there and decided that wearing one hat a day for six to eight months wasn't what I wanted to do at the age of 20. That I really wanted to be able to wear five hats a day. And so I moved to a small company in Columbus Ohio - I'm still in Columbus - and basically joined an R&D group where I got to do just that. I would be testing boards one day and troubleshooting the next, and so on. Within a couple of years I moved to field service, and from field service I learned a lot about troubleshooting problems and field service as you can well imagine. From field service I moved into the engineering department in that company where I became a designer and as a designer - the designers back then designed everything but the circuit - they designed the circuit boards, the cabinets, the chassis, the wiring harnesses, the interconnects, everything except the actual circuit schematic and I spent a fair amount of time doing that. And then, over time, with school in the evening I earned a degree in engineering became an EE and worked several years as a circuit designer around 1976, seven-ish time frame, the company - I had moved companies by then. The company I was working for asked me to; they said you have some background with printed circuit design? I said yes, we would like for you to help out doing part-time circuit design, part-time board layout. I said, sure no problem. After six months of that, I decided board design was really the thing I liked most. And so I moved full-time into circuit board design, away from full-time circuit design. For a long time I was doing basically RF design, RF layout, which is a little more challenging, especially back then. Digital layout then wasn't too challenging. Anyway moved into board layout, spent a number of years there and along the way somewhere, about the mid eighties, things started to not work right in the digital domain, and frankly, most people didn't know why this was happening. They - most of the engineers I worked with, - were scratching their heads; I was certainly scratching mine. And over time, by doing a lot of reading; I purchased over 120 books since then, between the mid 80s and now, and read them all. Some of them, three or four times, and basically learned what causes things to function versus not function, what causes interference and so on, and probably the person that helped me the most to get to the understanding I have today, is Ralph Morrison, and I'm going to talk a little bit about Ralph as I go through this. But anyway, by just getting my arms around why people have signal integrity problems, why there are interference issues, it's helped me over time to become I guess what people call a guru, I'm not sure I am, but you know whatever, whatever the title is. A good guru will never say they're a guru Rick so it's okay, I'll call you a guru. All right. That's pretty much how I got there it was just a matter of, it was a matter of stumbling along frankly, for years and years - not fully knowing why, and little by little, gathering the knowledge, because sadly, I didn't learn in college, the stuff I really needed to know to take me to where I needed to be. I mean, it had to come through experience, it had to come through just hard-won, hands-on on the job experience. Because it didn't come from college, sadly. And that's kind of where, how I got to where I am today. And of course this all started in the mid-80s. By the mid-90s, I was really beginning to have a pretty good understanding of the issues and it's really all just built since then. And I think, you and I had a talk and you were actually in our OnTrack newsletter a year or so ago, and I remember you saying around that time is, when you... didn't you talk about... oh I'm gonna forget the term now, because I'm not an engineer - rise times. Yes oh absolutely. Was that something, was it around that time that you started realizing that rise times were problematic? That's exactly, it was actually in the 90s, when I started realizing that the problem wasn't clock frequency, the problem is the frequency associated with the rising and falling edges of signals. If you have a device on a circuit board, that is being clocked at a low frequency - two, three megahertz, but you have a rise time with two, three, four, five hundred picoseconds, you'll have energy in every transmission event that extends upwards to a gigahertz or beyond, even though you're only clocking at a low frequency. So it isn't the clock, the clock really sets the timing for the circuit. That's really why it's called a clock, it sets timing. The rise times are really the key element that drive signal integrity, and even worse; drive EMI issues and interference issues. It's really all about rise time, yes. That's - I thought that was fascinating when you talked about that earlier. Now I've sat in a few of your classes and I've learned a couple, in my novice kind of way, a couple really key things that really impressed me when I sat in one of your classes at IPC, and in that room of say 50 people, you asked the people in that room: who in this room are EEs and also printed circuit board designers? And a handful of people raised their hand and you asked the question; which one's harder, the circuit design or the board design? And they all like guffawed at that and just said, duh, printed circuit board design. To which someone like me went, wait - I thought the EE was the heavy lifter, the one that kind of got the creds for doing the hard work but you really taught me then, that - and I think this is a lot - because circuit boards have become so complex over time too but that probably wasn't always true - and I had just missed that, that it had become. So why is it that you asked that question, and what made you choose to go from EE to actual board design? The, just frankly, the challenges. I found even in the late 70s, I found the challenges of board design to be more stimulating and more invigorating and it made me feel just more alive everyday to go to work than to be designing circuits and setting up test procedures and that sort of thing. And not that there's anything wrong with that, my god, I asked the question of those guys which is more challenging and most of them said board design. If you ask them which took them longer to learn, they would probably say circuit design took them longer, there's more to understand to become a good quality circuit designer, to really get what it takes to design circuits, to function properly. But once you have that knowledge, the actual effort and energy and time expended once you're there - once you're at that knowledge level - is actually greater to lay out a circuit board than it is to do a circuit design and that's why they all answered that way. There is you're right. There was a time when circuit board design was ridiculously easy. I have a circuit hanging on my wall, you can't see it from this camera but it's a two layer board that I designed in 1985. It has no planes and it's just routed power and ground and routed signals it's hideously complex because it's over 200 ICs, on a circuit board it's really packed, and that's why it's hanging there because it is such a complex, by the way hand taped, artwork. It's a very complex artwork and that makes people go 'oooh' when they walk in that's why it's there. But the reality is, how that was laid out was immaterial, because its layout just almost didn't matter, you could do almost anything back then and the circuit would still work. I remember seeing a tape layout in the 1990s, of a guy from the aerospace world where I spent in the early 90s; a board this guy laid out in the 80s, that there was a corner powering ground pin IC for, like a 20 pin part, and there was a decoupling cap sitting above the IC, and he had a trace routed from the decoupling cap, all the way around the body of the IC and back up to the power pin of the device. It was probably an inch and a half long trace from it, and it was a skinny little, 10 mil trace, and the circuit worked. And it's because things were so slow back then compared to today. And it's about rise time not clock frequency. Rise times back then were measured in the tens, in some cases even hundreds, of nanoseconds. Today they're measured in the hundreds of Picoseconds so they are at least a thousand times faster than then - a hundred to a thousand times faster than they were in the 80s and that's why, things today are harder to make work than they were in those days. Well that just blows my mind to think of things - I mean, I know that it's happened it's just hard to get your head around those kind of numbers sometimes.The other thing you said, and then we're going to jump into what you're going to talk about at AltiumLive. The other thing I learned from you, which I've told you about this. A few times it just made my head explode was when you started talking about the energy in a circuit board is in the dielectric and it was like; wait what? No it's running like water through pipes on the traces, like that's how I pictured it and you explained it, and you showed a field you had and I all of a sudden, like well, I knew some energy moves through the dielectric, but not the way you explained and literally; it was like I felt embarrassed, and I remember walking up to you and going: okay don't tell anyone but I didn't know that. And you said... People don't know that. -then you said, it's okay judy EEs don't know that, and I'm like, okay all right I don't feel so bad. So why don't we know that Rick? Because it's not talked about generally in college. Voltage and current are important parameters, they are - I just had a discussion very recently with Eric Bogatin on this exact subject. Voltage and current are extremely important parameters for identifying how transmission lines work, why signal integrity issues arise. These are all things that you need to know, but the reality is if - and if you're trying to track down signal integrity issues - probably best to talk about voltage and current more than the fields. But when you're trying to identify why an interference problem has occurred, why did energy move from circuit A to circuit B, how in the world did it get over to circuit B? Where did that - because the voltage and current followed the traces that we routed in circuit A. So how did the energy... The reason is that, as you just said, the energy is in the fields, not in the voltage and current and the fields travel through the dielectric space between the copper features. And that's the key element. When you route a trace you're routing half of a transmission line, the other half of the transmission line is the plane, usually in most boards today, a plane where the energy returns. So you have the forward current traveling down the trace that you've routed, and you have the return current traveling in the plane directly under the trace that's routing across the board. And that current is being established because there are fields with energy creating the voltage and current in the transmission line. And that's the key element to understand. If the energy weren't in the voltage IRAM, sorry, weren't in the fields; radio wouldn't work. Think about it, radio broadcasting of fields into free space, that get picked up by antenna that focused the energy into a radio. Anything that uses broadcast medium works in exactly that fashion. And the reason it works, is because the energy is in the fields. Now you can capture those fields with copper structures. And when you do, then they will channel through the dielectric between the copper features; that's what an antenna does and an antenna focuses the fields into a center point, that focuses them to a transmission line, to the receiver and that's exactly what an antenna is. So bottom line, because the energy is in the fields, and the fields travel through the dielectric space, that's how things can sometimes spread. If we don't route traces properly, if we route, for example, two or three layers of traces above a plane; all of those trace layers are capable of coupling energy into one another, which causes the fields to then spread to places where they shouldn't be. Or, if you change layers improperly - that's something I'm going to talk about, at AltiumLive, is well - the main thing I want to talk about is board stackup. Yeah so let's just jump in right there I think that's a good place to segue. So Rick is doing, han hour keynote at AltiumLive and the title of his talk is: 'The extreme importance of PC board stack up.' So let's just jump right off there. So you've already started to talk about energy and fields and how they move. Talk about that relative to stack up and why that can be problematic in not so obvious places? Yeah I will, yes the main question that I ask people; if someone contacts me and says: Rick we've got an interference problem of some kind, be it EMI, be it interference between circuits, whatever. I've had, within the last year of it, people contact me to talk about op-amp circuits that were being interfered with by other things in a circuit board or inside a system. Why does this happen is the question that's often asked. The first question I ask them is, what is your printed circuit board stack up? Because the most critical item to get correct, to have correctly done, is the board stack up. The most critical item is the board stack up and that's why I ask that question because what people often get wrong is the board stack. I will often see examples of people who have put two or three voltage planes next to each other in a board stack, with no grounds anywhere nearby. And that's one of the things I'm going to talk about at AltiumLive; why that's a problem. It's a very serious problem. For example, if you had a circuit board that was many layers thick, and you had, let's say twenty ground planes in the board. If you had a signal routed on layer 1, and there was a ground plane on layer 2, all 100% of the return current from that signal on layer 1 would be in the ground plane on layer 2, and there will be no current from that trace in any of the other ground layers because the energy is in the dielectric... Yeah. Between layers one and two, it establishes a forward current in the trace and a return current - a reverse current, in that. All the other planes, it's like they're not even there. They don't even get used because the energy focuses itself in that tight area, and as I said a minute ago, if you have two or three signal layers and then a plane, now all these signals are all trying to reference that one plane. So all of those fields are intermingling with one another, in that dielectric space and they're all coupling energy into one another, and that's where the interference factor comes from. That's where - it's one of the places where EMI comes from - there are many things that cause EMI, that's just one of the many problems. So it's a matter of keeping fields isolated from one another. That's what we have to do if we expect things to function properly. Well I think, besides your prolific reading habits being an EE, I think, has obviously served you well and so, to understand how fields move and because, like I said, I have a very fundamental understanding of designs and certainly not of field theory and all of that, and how physics work but I think that's one reason why you've been such a popular speaker and consultant. You talked about - or you're going to talk about - and let's kind of tease it up a little bit; is the worst four layer stack up. What does that mean? Well there are actually two four layer stack ups that I'm particularly not fond of. One of them is - and I see this a lot in the automotive and appliance industries - where they will put a single ground plane on, let's say layer three, and they'll put routing with routed power, on one, two, and four. And what we talked about a minute ago, having more than one routing layer referencing a single plane,in this case layers one and two; are both trying to reference the plane on layer three. And the result is the field, even if you route them in orthogonal directions, the traces, the fields will still inter-lead one another and we'll couple energy. And the energy that couples, won't be enough to cause a signal integrity problem if you do the stack - if you just do the routing correctly - but it will still be enough that it can cause EMI problems. What a lot of people don't realize is that it takes as little as eight to ten microamps - microamps, millionths of an amp of common load current coupled into a balanced antenna to cause an FCC Class B, radiated admissions failure. Wow. So as it takes that little bit of current to cause an EMI problem, and it doesn't take much coupling of fields to create eight to ten, or even milliamps of noise current. So it's a problem that people need to pay attention to. So that's one of the four layers. The other four layer that's a problem, is the one everybody uses - and that's powering ground on two and three, and the reason that's a problem - if a circuit board is extremely thin - if a circuit board is say 10, 15, 20 mils thick; then those two power and ground planes on 2 & 3 are going to be very close together. And when you do that, when the power and ground planes are extremely tight - a few mils to maybe at most 10 mils away from one another, then you can get away with having power and ground on 2 & 3 or 4 layer. But if it's a 62 Milotic, a 1.6 millimeter thick board, and you have the planes on 2 & 3, they're going to be about a millimeter apart - and when planes are a millimeter apart, there's several things that go wrong. One, we rely on the planes to help deliver power. The planes basically become the low impedance path for power delivery 2 and IC, if you asked a lot of people, a lot of Engineers, where does power come from in a circuit board? Their answer will be the power plane. All right. Of course we know that's not true. The energy comes from the dielectric space between the power plane and the ground plane. See there it is again... Exactly. If the dielectric space is tight, the capacitance will be fairly high but most of all the inductance of the planes will be very low, and when the inductance is low, now you have a low impedance delivery path for power. If the planes are far apart, as they are in a conventional 62 ml thick, four layer board, the impedance is so high it doesn't do a good job of delivering power, and you end up with large LD/IDT voltage drops across the power system that we can refer to as power bus switching noise, and that issue alone can cause signal integrity problems but mostly will cause EMI problems. That's, again, it's like can't, my head's exploding again. Four layer board, 062 - standard thickness of your run-of-the-mill board, I mean this is not fancy, and you're saying this is a bad idea! And I'm like wait, what the earth does not flash? I mean it just that's what it sounds like to me like - it's crazy but it's fascinating and I can't wait to hear - I'm sure you'll dig into this more? Well I'm gonna get into it more because there are routing implications with that four layer board as well. Okay. I mean it's worse than just - than just power delivery. If you have a trace routed on layer one referencing the power plane and you want to change layers to layer four, you're going to have to move the reference to the ground plane, which means the energy in the dielectric space between one and two has to somehow move through that board to the dielectric space between three and four. How is it going to get there? And there are people who will say, oh, it uses the decoupling capacitors. Well that's true, if the frequency is low enough. If rise times look low enough, then that's what will happen. That's why for years, we could get away with four layer boards with power and ground on two and three because rise times were so slow. Gotcha. But now all of a sudden, rise times are measured in the hundreds of Picoseconds and that four layer board just doesn't work well. But we're gonna get into that in more detail at AltiumLive. Okay. You also talked about a six layer? mm-hmm... -please don't make my brain explode again Rick, but go ahead, tell me the six layer that's a bad idea? The six layer board that everyone uses is signal, plane - like power ground, two signals, the other plane. If you put power into that, they'll put ground on five and then a signal and six. And this is a common six layer board that just about everybody on the planet uses and it's even worse than the four layer board with power and ground on two and three. And we're gonna get into intimate detail at AltiumLive about why. It's about, I mean, think about what we said about power delivery with the four layer board. If you have planes a millimeter apart and that's not good enough, what do you think putting them on two and five, of a six layer board where they're even further apart, is gonna do two power delivery? And now, worse than that, you have the fields between two and five sharing the dielectric space with signals that are on three and four, and all of those fields are saying hello to each other; hey let's get together and party, and they do get together to party and they wreak havoc! And this is a bad board stack, and we're going to talk more about why it's a bad board stack, and then we're gonna get into exactly what to do to fix it. There is a solution. To be able to use that board stack and make it work, and we're gonna talk about how to do that. Well I can't wait and I intentionally wanted to have you on today to tease that out because, for those of you that don't know already, Rick teaches all over North America, and sometimes out of the country as well. If you haven't seen it, we will share all these links in the show notes. But he's been teaching, he's been on, at least a North American tour, with a series put on by UP Media called 'PCB Today' and those are two days right, Rick? It's a two day event, and then we go through everything we've discussed here and much, much, much, much more. Right so two days; so I highly recommend UP Media's PCB2DAY with Rick Hartley. We will share that link for any of you that might want to get a full two days. At AltiumLive we're gonna have you drink from the fire hose and give you an hour of Rick Hartley talking as fast as he can. Rick also speaks at PCB West, which is in Santa Clara in September, I think it's September 12 this year, or that week of September. It's September 11, 12, and 13 I believe - It's a three-day event, again loaded with great content there's an exposition day but Rick teaches more than one class there and they're always packed, so. I'm actually teaching six classes this year. That's crazy and besides Rick, there's a lot of really other illustrious teachers. It's like good luck with that one; picking your courses because it's a really good show also put on by UP Media so... I mean that show has Dan Beeker and Susy Webb, there's a host of people; Mike Creeden, I think is going to be there this year, there's just a boatload of people with talent talking about... Such talent! And by the way, I want to boast just for five seconds, because I have the neatest friends in the whole wide world. And that is that Susy Webb will also be teaching at all AltiumLive, Mike Creeden will be there; I don't know if he's teaching yet, Eric Bogatin, who Rick mentioned, will also be a keynote speaker , and I think that conversation you were talking about having with Eric, was probably on an email feed that I was eavesdropping on. It was actually just a direct email with Eric because yah, I think you were involved? I got looped in there and, a significant portion went over my head, but it was just interesting to see you guys kind of bantering about your subject. So again, Eric will be one of the other keynote speakers so I'm very privileged to know some very bright, gifted people, and Altium is bringing all these wonderful folks together. So I hope you will join us and I hope this conversation has encouraged you to join us. And we do have early bird pricing, which is like ten percent off through the end of July. So please be my guest we will - - Rick has shared links with us to other resources. Oh! You wanted to mention something about a paper that's floating out there, that you no longer endorse. So why don't you mention something about that? Yeah about 15 years ago, I wrote a paper called 'Board Stack Up to Control EMI,' and while the basic content of the paper is more or less correct, some of the board stacks that I I suggested in that paper; I have since learned were not good ideas, and in fact, the four layer and six layer that we just talked about, are two of them, that I recommended in that paper, because I believed at that time, that they were the right thing to do. I've since learned why they aren't, so if you happen to stumble across that paper again; it's called ' 'Board Stack Up to Control EMI,' ... or to help control EMI, something to that effect, and if you stumble across that, just ignore it. Ignore it cause we're gonna get Rick Hartley 2.0 where things have gotten faster and he's, I don't know that you've gotten smarter; I think just the physics of the boards people are designing have changed. The physics have changed and that's a key point. That's a very good point Judy, and that's partly why, I mean, it's possible that when I wrote that paper, that four and six layer boards were fine... Yeah exactly but the speed... -but they're not today. And again that's why we always advocate here that you need to always be learning because technology does not stand still and what worked yesterday, is not going to work tomorrow. And so we we try our best to stay on top of it. Rick thank you so much for joining us. I also am going to put in a photo, hopefully it won't embarrass you Rick; of - - You know, what I want to say about Rick Hartley and people like Susy Webb, Mike Creeden, Eric Bogatin; we are all - you all as designers and engineers are really standing on their shoulders and they used to do this stuff by hand. So I have the neatest photo ever of Rick Hartley with a big fat 70s tie I think, handling out the biggest board ever that I've seen - the biggest tape up I've ever seen. That's actually the one hanging on my wall... It is, that's the one? So I'm going to share that and the links too because you guys that just have snazzy racy tools and you started designing ten years ago won't believe the stuff these guys and gals did by hand. So, well Rick we totally and completely look forward to AltiumLive, thanks so much for agreeing to come and invest in the design community, and thanks again for doing this podcast you are a dear friend. Judy, thank you so much for having me. Yeah and thank you so much for all that you do for the industry Rick, we really appreciate you. It's a pleasure. Again this has been Judy Warner with Altium's OnTrack Podcast and Rick Hartley of - how do you say that? R Hartley Enterprises. We look forward to seeing, or we look forward to you tuning in next time. Until then, remember to always stay on track.

'The Pugilistic Pulpit' is back! Unfortunately we couldn't get Julio in the studio this week, so instead Dr. Dadany decided on something a little more intimate; just him and you, the audience. Candles light. Smooth jazz. Silk robe. It's all for you. It's September 15th which means only one more day until the biggest fight of the year, Canlo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin. A fight to settle good and all who is the best middleweight in the world and what better day to celebrate this highly anticipated fight than Mexican Independence Day! This episode is dedicated to comparing the two fighter's attributes & history followed by Adany wildly guessing as to who the winner will be.

A short play by Paul Larkin. It's September 19th, 2014 and two strangers get talking on a train from Edinburgh to Glasgow.

It's September 11 a crazy day in our history, but let's use all this to remind us to simply be Better than we were yesterday and to move forward in a positive light not only for ourselves but everyone

It's September, so this history podcast is rolling out its annual back-to-school episode. This go around, we address the question: What do the controversies in the 1960s and 1970s surrounding sex education and bilingual education have to do with each other? Well, quite a bit, as it turns out. And that's why I'll sit down with historian Natalia Petrzela to talk about her book, Classroom Wars: Language, Sex, and the Making of Modern Political Culture (Oxford University Press). It's a fascinating examination of the history of education policy and how it both reflected and shaped political discourse about immigration and diversity, as well as attitudes about sex and sexual mores, in the mid-20th century. We also talk about Natalia's role as a co-host of another fabulous history podcast, Past Present (http://www.pastpresentpodcast.com).  Among the many things discussed in this episode:  How political conservatives in the 1960s advocated bilingual education and cultural exchange with Mexico. Why bilingual education became more controversial, in part, due to increased political activism by Latino rights groups like La Raza. How efforts to promote bilingual education also led to increased acceptance of Latino culture and diversity in public schools. How and why sex education became politicized in the 1960s. How some conservatives in the 1960s linked sex education to promoting communism. Why, despite great opposition, both sex education and bilingual education gained wide acceptance by the 1980s.

It's September! Which means it's basically almost practically Autumn, the spookiest and most exciting season of the year! Since it's our littlest sister's last Autumn in high school, let's talk about all that comes with the best season of the year for high schoolers, like football games and homecoming and...dressing like pumpkins? And apparently corduroy and suede and...velvet? Are we back in the 90s? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's September, the leaves are turning and Autumn has arrived, so in honour of this return to reality we bring you a show about the everyday, the mundane, the quotidian in literature. As usual, our theme is inspired by our guest, and this month we’ll be playing a recording of a live interview Carrie did with the celebrated Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard a couple weeks ago at Waterstones Tottenham Court Road. Knausgaard is best known for his epic My Struggle series, but he was in town to talk about his new book, appropriately called Autumn, the first in a quartet of titles based around the seasons. In Autumn, he describes the world around him – from chewing gum to toilet bowls to frogs – to his unborn daughter. So tune in for a celebration of the ordinary things in literature, and a discussion about how writers from George Eliot to Elizabeth Strout have made them compelling and extraordinary.

Hey gorgeous! Are you charging enough for what you're doing? Chances are, probably not. I'd love to talk you through three mindset changes you need to make to charge more and feel good about it! IN THIS EPISODE 0:18 What excuses are you making as to why you are not charging what you should be for what you're doing? Think about it for a second - how are you justifying your not charging enough? Most women are not charging what they should be and we're over delivering and under charging. Some ladies have it and charge what they're worth, however, most are not. This is more about mindset than anything else. It has everything to do with wanting to serve and take care of our clients and customers, but often we put profitability on the back burner. We need the assurance and validation that everyone else is happy and it doesn't matter if we aren't making money. 1:47 You don't have to choose. You can have a really profitable business and have everyone happy at the same time. So when it comes to going out and charging for what you're worth, what do you do? Yes, it's an emotional roller coaster. 2:23 Can we just talk about hourly? In some cases, it does make sense. If you ever want to leverage and grow, and it's important to know what your time is worth and where is the bare base minimum? If you haven't hit that yet, you need to figure out what that is for yourself. You have to figure out how much you're making after taxes and expenses. You have to figure out what the value it is that you're providing for your clients. If they're used to the hourly amount from the beginning, you're going to have to help them adjust and understand the benefits to paying for value. 4:14 If there is a flood in your house, and you need a restoration team to come over and get the water out of your house, are you going to ask them how much they charge per hour so you can shop around to get your money's worth or are you going to shop around for value and quality? 4:58 You can apply that same idea to anything. It's about the quality, experience, and value. If you can start thinking about your time and your services and start adapting the idea that people pay you for that then you'll be better off. 5:32 The second mindset that I'd like you to have is that you are already an expert. You don't need to go to college or get a degree. I am an expert already for your experience. Another example: if you were to need surgery, would you want the guy who is 65, never graduated medical school and has been performing this surgery for 40 years. Or would you want the other guy who just graduated from Harvard with a 4.0 GPA and his only experience is from his internship. It's kind of an extreme example, but your experience matters. Yes there are people who are doing what you do and they may have more credentials but you have experience too and that matters. We learn a lot from being around the block, from every new experience we have in our industry, we learn and grow. We can continue to learn and hone our craft, the better we are to serve our clients. You don't have to wait until you are the best of the best of the best, you are valuable right now. If you can adopt the mindset that you are an expert already and that's really valuable. 8:46 Money is a gift. Money is a value exchange. It is a way that people say thank you for what you've provided. Now think about a time where you showed up someplace, maybe it was a Christmas exchange or a holiday exchange or somewhere that someone surprised you with a gift. You may have felt happy and a little guilty at the same time because you didn't have anything to repay the favor. When someone does something really amazing for you, you want to give them something in return. You don't want to be a charity case, you want to be able to repay someone for this thing. When you're setting your prices, make sure you are transparent in what you're providing and be comfortable in that. With being comfortable, you'll know the value in what you're giving in exchange for what they are paying you. When you've been waiting to buy something, and you're happy to turn over your credit card, it's the same thing. 12:34 The three mindsets: people pay me for my value, not my time. I am already an expert right now. Money is a way to say thank you for the value I provide. 12:46 If you want a little bit more in this area with your money mindset, we're doing a #moneymindset challenge around this. It's September 11. It's live coaching and will take place in the Profit Party Community. It will help you feel and think healthy about your money. [bctt tweet="You don't have to choose.

You can have a really profitable business and have everyone happy at the same time. You have to figure out what the value it is that you're providing for your clients. You are already an expert.

It's September 2012. There is a nervous excitement in the building and everybody feels it, from the chefs, to the finance department, and certainly us teachers. 115 students arrive on this Monday afternoon from around the world, about 25 different countries, to start their new life at the European Film College. Most will live on campus like me. They will work harder than probably ever in their lives, make many ambitious films, take creative and personal risks, challenge their preconceptions, find out who they are outside of their own culture, away from their family and friends, as individuals. The 9 months that they are here will feel like a lifetime, but it will go incredibly quickly. Time warps, much like it does in the first year of parenthood.  I know it feels like this because I did it too, 13 years earlier. It was the first day of the best and most creatively fulfilling year of my life, up until the day you were born. I feel incredibly privileged to be on the other side now, to be a part of the team that is invested in giving these students an experience like mine. It is a great responsibility, and one I have put above all else for the past three years. There is an emotional rhythm to the year, almost a narrative arc, and I understand it well now so I hate to be leaving the story before the end. If there was a way to see it through I would, but there really isn't. I will be the best teacher I can be until Christmas time and then hand everything over.  I don't have time to think much about the future. All my energy goes to surviving the present. But there is great joy in the everyday. 20 weeks, time for the second scan. I'm so nervous and excited to see you again, to hear your heart beat again. It's November. Charlotte and I check in regularly as her due date approaches. I long to go home. In only a month, I will. And soon after that, you will arrive too.   Not By Accident is made by me, Sophie Harper. Thanks to my family, my friends and my daughter for allowing me to record, and for the practical and moral support. And to all of you who have left amazing reviews and sent messages, you have brought me to tears multiple times. I am inspired. Please keep them coming!

It's September, and that means back to school.  So we hit the books and learn about three different types of flyer bobbin systems used in spinning wheels.  Once you figure out what type of wheel you are using, you can then understand how to make your wheel work for you.
