“People don't manage people. People lead people.” – Jamey Boiter Growing up, Jamey was blessed by a father that didn't just raise him. He led him. In doing so, he gave Jamey a blueprint for servant leadership that would shape his entire career. From an early passion for architecture to pivoting into graphic design, Jamey learned that the true essence of creativity isn't just making things, it's solving problems. That mindset led him to Bolt Group, where he's spent decades helping companies like Chick-fil-A, Lowe's, & IZOD bridge the gap between brand, product, & purpose. But he's not just a designer. He's a builder of businesses, leaders, & legacies. His unique approach integrates brand strategy with product innovation, turning companies into category leaders. Now, he's doing the same for his own team, ensuring the future of Bolt Group is as bold as its past. If bold leadership, design thinking, & culture building drive you, find him at Boltgroup.com Great design isn't just about aesthetics. It's about solving problems that matter. It's like Steve Jobs said, “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."

Alex grew up in the SF Bay Area where the definition of “hotness” was dictated by “beautiful” people in popular magazines and TV shows. His entire childhood, he felt trapped in his fat body and hated how he looked. That was until he realized what he had been taught his whole life was a lie. Hotness was more than perfect abs and bulging biceps, it was an attitude. And that he had! Alex is also a Professional Opera Singer, an industry that he thought would be accepting of his fat body. Boy was he wrong.  When Alex began his modeling career in 2016, the entire experience was a fever dream. Fast forward and now Alex is a successful plus-size model, body acceptance advocate and role model to fat guys all around the world. He can currently be seen in every Target in the United States. Alex has worked with Lululemon, Target, Wrangler, Kohls, L'Oreal, Polo Ralph Lauren, Izod, Haband, Kirkland, The Everyman Project, & Arrested Movement. He is the CEO, Founder, and Chief Hot Fat Guy of the Hot Fat Guy Club, an organization he started to dispel the myths around diet culture, fatphobia, and other fat-people stereotypes. The Hot Fat Guy Club is a global, inclusive, exclusive community. It is dedicated to empowering Fat, Big & Tall, Cis, Transgender, and Nonbinary folks, and the people that love them. The Mission of the HFGC is to show the world that Hotness does not come from the outside. Hotness comes from how you carry and care for yourself and others. The HFGC is a club powered by joy and self-acceptance. We are a support system that encourages, educates, uplifts and inspires fellow members to overcome societal “norms” and embrace their inner Hot Fat Guy–all while having some outrageous fun doing so! Men are dramatically underrepresented in the body positivity movement.  Although we have made great strides with broadening the aperture of the types of larger bodies that define beautiful, the movement is primarily led by women. With big love to our sisters and non-binary brethren, HFGC advocates and creates opportunity for body positivity for Hat Fat Guys giving them a voice and community in an underrepresented marketplace. He created the HFGC because he wanted a community where people are celebrated, not shamed, for their body type. Becoming a model gave Alex his most important job and achievement ever, becoming the Role Model to little fat kids like him, that he never had growing up.

In this week's episode of 'Real Talk,' Susan and Kristina take on the daunting task of deciphering the ever-changing slang of today's kids. From navigating linguistic rollercoasters to tackling new words and phrases that pop up daily, they show that staying in the know is not just essential but also a fun challenge. Join them for some laughs and linguistic acrobatics as they take on today's latest trends. TRANSCRIPT: Susan Stone: Welcome back to Real Talk with Susan Stone and Kristina Supler. We are full-time moms and attorneys bringing our student defense legal practice to life with real candid conversations. Have a fun podcast today, Supler.   Kristina Supler: What are we talking about?   Susan Stone: We are going to talk about decoding teen slang and trends.   Kristina Supler: Oooo, fun, I like it.   Susan Stone: Yeah. Before we launch into our podcast today, can I just say it is so flipping cold out.   Kristina Supler: Oh my gosh. It is freezing out. To our listeners out there, We are in Cleveland where it's a balmy four degrees or one degree, depending upon the device you look at, and it is just frigid.   Susan Stone: Okay, So hubby last night noted that there are no terms for cold and it's been called an ‘arctic blast'. You ever thought that we were experiencing…    Kristina Supler: I feel like I've heard like local weather people use different iterations of Arctic blast. Arctic freeze. I don't know.   Susan Stone: All I know is I was trying to walk the dogs yesterday and it was truly a miserable experience for me and the dogs. They didn't even want to go out and go to the bathroom. It was awful.   Kristina Supler: Funny, I had the same experience this morning when I took my two dogs out. It was like quick rush, take your business and get back inside. But even inside, Freezing. Freezing, freezing, freezing.   Susan Stone: Yeah, and didn't you have… What happened with your uh… was it your, was it your water heater? Your power? What happened this weekend?   Kristina Supler:  So, Cleveland got a big storm over the weekend and yeah, I didn't have power for 24 hours so I was, we were away. It's fortunate that we were away but it was a little nerve racking in terms of, I don't know, bad things happening in the house. Fortunately, my husband informed me that power has no impact on our heating system because we have steam. I didn't really know. Yes, but yeah, food in the fridge, all those fun issues that Midwesterners deal with, so on and so forth. But here we are today and hopefully we've got something light and funny that can warm things up.   Susan Stone: Yeah. You know what we did yesterday? I took my youngest and we went and saw Mean Girls.   Kristina Supler: Oh I read about the like re- uh, relaunch of that movie. I've never seen it. Tell me about it.   Susan Stone: Well, I love the original. And the original was amazing. Rachel McAdams, Lindsay Lohan,   Kristina Supler: I was gonna say isn't Lindsay Lohan in it. That's. Yeah, the two comes to mind.   Susan Stone: Yeah. And that was one of her. And she's in the remake.   Kristina Supler: How's she looking these days?   Susan Stone: She's looking gorgeous.   Kristina Supler: Really, good! Good.   Susan Stone: Shout out to you, Lindsay. You are aging fine. But I will say, Tori, my 18 year old, did not like the movie at all.   Kristina Supler: Really? Why? Now, did she had she seen the original or. No?   Susan Stone:  No, she had. She just thought.   Kristina Supler: the remake was not hitting her right?   Susan Stone: No. She thought it was insulting to her intelligence.   Kristina Supler: Why is that?   Susan Stone: Well, she felt like it didn't capture the original flavor of bullying. And she thought bullying is such an important topic that they sort of made fun of it and made light of it and made it seem ridiculous.   Kristina Supler:  So let me ask you, was there any, like redeeming message or takeaway for viewers of the movie? Any lessons to be learned?   Susan Stone: I mean It was the same lesson be kind, be nice, blah, blah, blah. I'm not trying to put down.   Kristina Supler: Sure that's and that's a good one, but it's a little basic.   Susan Stone: But the way it was delivered, that's the word   Kristina Supler: Basic.   Susan Stone:  It was basic. Yeah. So, you know, I wanted to love it. I want it to because I love the original and I know there's now the musical and, you know I love me a Musical.   Kristina Supler: You love a Musical.   Susan Stone: Oh my gosh. I mean, there isn't a musical that I don't rush and see.   Kristina Supler: I think it's so funny that we're talking about this because I have to imagine while and I've experienced that, sometimes people think that as lawyers we're, you know, reading the news and thinking about Supreme Court opinions and all these, you know, intellectual things, and here we are, “Hey, Supler I saw Mean Girls yesterday”.    Susan Stone: But on to our topic about the way kids talk and how language changes. So I was, I did a little research. Truthfully, I forgot the fun terms I used when I was in high school or were popular in the eighties.   Kristina Supler: Okay, lay it on me.    Susan Stone: Okay. Ready?   Kristina Supler: Ready.   Susan Stone: Gag me with the spoon. Did you say that?   Kristina Supler:  Never. No. I can honestly say no. I never said Gag me with a spoon.   Susan Stone: Ready?   Kristina Supler: Ready.   Susan Stone:  Eat my shorts.   Kristina Supler: Uh that, that I'm familiar with through one, Bart Simpson. You really said that? You said eat my shorts.    Susan Stone: I didn't, but others did.   Kristina Supler: I just. What does is it really mean? Like, like.   Susan Stone: Do you think it means Bug off? Maybe. I think that's what it means. Eat my shorts.    Kristina Supler: Okay.   Susan Stone: And gnarly.   Kristina Supler: Now, Now. Okay. Who doesn't know? Gnarly. Sure. I think gnarly still kind of with us. The West Coast vibe a bit. I don't know.   Susan Stone: So, Let's talk about some of the terms. I didn't know that well. Proposed by our fine marketing department.   Kristina Supler: Let me ask you, though, what's what generation were you? Are you?   Susan Stone: I am the beginning of Gen X.   Kristina Supler: Ohhhh.   Susan Stone: Babies baby   Kristina Supler:  Sure, sure, sure, sure.   Susan Stone: Madonna spoke. You can't see me Voguing. Voguing, guys.   Kristina Supler: Best music video ever. Ever! What's interesting about that is I think of myself as a Gen Xer, but actually, I shudder to admit this. I don't want to admit this, but I must. I am technically the beginning of millennials.   Susan Stone: There is nothing about you that's a Millennials   Kristina Supler: I don't identify that way. I really see myself as a Gen Xer like the nineties vibe, but I guess according to the internet, according to Wikipedia or what have you, I'm technically a first year millennial.   Susan Stone: That's interesting that I'm a Gen Xer. I was a latchkey kid, and for those of you who don't know what that is, my mom went to work and I had a, what was it, a shoestring with a key.   Kristina Supler: You literally had a key on a shoestring.   Susan Stone: I literally had a key on a shoestring.   Kristina Supler: I didn't know that was a real thing.   Susan Stone: That's why they called it ‘latchkey kids' Supler. It's a real thing.   Kristina Supler: Well, I have to confess, I grew up in a house that we never locked. I never had a key.   Susan Stone: That's a beautiful thing.   Kristina Supler: It actually is.   Susan Stone: That's a beautiful thing .And I was the MTV generation who didn't remember Tabatha Sorenson. So cute. And I was on MTV once.    Kristina Supler: No.   Susan Stone: Yeah, I danced.   Kristina Supler: Tell me more.   Susan Stone: There's not that much to tell.   Kristina Supler: On the Grind? Were you on MTV on the Grind?   Susan Stone: It was one of those shows, you literally waited in line and when they told you to dance, you danced. It's hilarious.   Kristina Supler: But was it the Grind? Yes or no?   Susan Stone: I don't think so.   Kristina Supler:  Because I really hope that it was.   Susan Stone: And my roommate in college had a picture of Ronald Reagan above her bed.   Kristina Supler: (Laughing) What did she love him?   Susan Stone: She loved him.   Kristina Supler: Was she attracted to him?   Susan Stone:  I don't know Ronny was hot. Ronny was hot.   Kristina Supler: Sensible citizen. Oh my God. Now that is the funniest thing.   Susan Stone: Okay, guys Let's talk about some words and then we can respond to what this generation is "saying. And I am going to mispronounce it, but 'gyat'.   Kristina Supler: I, I just can't with this one. With this one, I just can't. I am told, so for all of our listeners out there, I've only recently come to learn this, this word, this phrase, and apparently it is a high compliment. It is a major, major compliment to give someone indicating that their derriere is large.    Susan Stone: Yeah. I asked my daughter, do you know what ‘gyat' is? She's just like ass. I'm like, okay.   Kristina Supler: Yeah. So I guess it rhymes with squat or bought    Susan Stone: or fiat.   Kristina Supler: And then it can also be, I guess I'm told, an acronym for something about the backside being thick. I don't know.   Susan Stone:  But I have to be honest, I've never heard it used in my house.   Kristina Supler: I've never heard it used. I've never seen it. I mean, in our work representing students, we read a lot of text messages and social media posts. I've never even read it in a text, so I personally am very circumspect about this word and its use and popularity. I feel like a journalist or someone Internet writer out there just like made it up or heard one person use it and then said, oh parents, hey, you need to know this word. And it's really not a thing.   Susan Stone: I don't even like the way it sounds. But you know, you have a question for you. Why? When we read and we read thousands of text messages in our case, what's the point of Bruh B.R.U.H   Kristina Supler: I wish I knew. I wish I knew. I've got nothing for you on that. And we see it literally every day and it's constant, It's constant. Like every other thing is ‘bruh'. And then the other question I have for you is ‘lol', after everything, even after stuff that's not funny, you still put ‘lol bruh'. That you see a lot as well. I don't know. That is more with people, our clients who are a little bit older. It's not like high schoolers, but that I see all the time and I feel like it's just a habit because it's literally like on text where there's not even something funny said.   Susan Stone: I don't get it, I don't get it. I agree.   Kristina Supler: I think for parents, the key is… And parents out there, Please don't please don't say gyat. I mean, that would just be mortifying to your child.   Susan Stone: Yeah, you really will look like a total loser.   Kristina Supler: Way to not mince your words.   Susan Stone: I know. Okay, parents try it and then they'll tell you your kids that you're a total loser.   Kristina Supler:  Yeah. No they won't, they won't want to go in public with you.   Susan Stone: Now, this is all from our marketing department, so shout out to Amanda for doing the research on this. But the next word is…    Kristina Supler: Well, hold on. Drum roll, please. For the 2023 word of the year.   Susan Stone Rizz   Kristina Supler: Susan, what does Rizz mean?    Susan Stone Charisma.   Kristina Supler: Ohhhhh the ability to charm someone or woo someone. Now, have you ever So I have not heard my children use this. My kids are a little bit younger. What? You have a senior in high school? Have you heard her use it?   Susan Stone No, I've never heard her use Rizz, but I did. Again, just like I am curious her and she says it's more used in the negative, like she doesn't have Rizz.   Kristina Supler: Oh. Okay. I guess I see it. I don't know. Some of these things. Truly. I feel like you're just, like, made into things for internet writers to launch off on. But we'll have to see if Rizz continues on to 2024.   Susan Stone Don't think it's going to make it.   Kristina Supler:  I'm inclined to agree. But let me ask you, though, 2024 word that's going to become, you know, plastered all over text messages. Do you think it'll be like a compliment, an insult, a rhetorical turn of phrase? What were you going with this?   Susan Stone No clue, guys. I don't know.   Kristina Supler: Come on bruh, come on bruh!   Susan Stone But what I do know is that, you know, what's the point of this podcast is important, and it's because we don't want parents running around saying ‘Rizz' and ‘Gyat, and  ‘Bruh'.   Kristina Supler: Yes, let's be clear. We are not advocating for that on any level. We are talking about this though, because I think it's just important for parents to know what these things mean. So I don't know. For instance, you go snooping, you read your kids, you know, messages in the phone. It's sometimes you literally can't tell what they're talking about. And so it's important to know words and phrases.   Susan Stone Well, on our case, I have to say I use the Urban Dictionary a lot.   Kristina Supler: Oh yeah. I mean, I can't I can't deny having had to turn to it on more than one occasion. And also, I'll tell you what else I really am uninformed about and trying to do better with is emojis and what they mean.   Susan Stone Oh those are hard.   Kristina Supler: Those are hard. I mean, obviously, we know like happy, sad, so on and so forth, but some of them are very confusing to me. And again, we go through text in cases all the time and it's like literally have to Google what certain emojis mean.   Susan Stone I even know, you know, about peaches and eggplant. You had to tell me.   Kristina Supler: I was going to say, I definitely feel like I knew that.    Susan Stone But you did. But I went to you. And once it was explained, I kind of saw the Peach.   Kristina Supler:  You saw the booty,   Susan Stone I saw a tush, but it wasn't intuitive to me.   Kristina Supler: Sure, sure. Well, and you have a very good vocabulary, so, you know, you're like pulling out your dictionary words, not Rizz, but, you know, the fancy dictionary words. And so   Susan Stone I do I pride myself on that. And, you know, I like to think of myself as a reader.   Kristina Supler: Sure. Me too. Me too.   Susan Stone I started the new James McBride book. so good. Anyways, that's a sidetrack. Let's talk about one last topic of what's going on in Teen Trends, which is different. It's kind of like a redo from my gen. What is preppy?   Kristina Supler: Well, I think we've come full circle with our mean girls theme and like redos, re- rehashing something out because preppy is back and alive full well now and it's interesting   Susan Stone It is different.   Kristina Supler: It is different, and I see preppy now this I have familiarity with through my daughter and her friends. And back in my day, growing up, when I thought I was a Gen Xer, but apparently I'm not heartbroken. Preppy was like Lacoste and you had your Gap, Argyle, V-neck Sweaters and…   Susan Stone The Gap, the Izod, with the collar turned up.   Kristina Supler: Pop the collar, baby.   Susan Stone Pop the collar and Bermuda backs.   Kristina Supler: Oh no, I don't know what that is.   Susan Stone They were these cute little purses where you could change the outer side and little button them on there. They're cute.   Kristina Supler: Penny loafers, suede bath box. Do you remember those? That was hot in Catholic grade schools.   Susan Stone I didn't go to Catholic grade school, but I know you did. But yeah, preppy was the and the preppy handbook that was really big.   Kristina Supler: I do not know what that is.   Susan Stone It was a book on how to be preppy. I mean, it was a how to, but today it seems very expensive, what preppy is.   Kristina Supler: Yeah. Well I mean I guess it probably was back in the day as well with, you know, buying your Lacoste shirt and whatnot. But so for the youngsters now, it's interesting. It's sort of I would say it's like a lifestyle. It's a look and a lifestyle.   Susan Stone Is it like Goop, a lifestyle brand?   Kristina Supler: Yeah, I mean Goop is, kind of in a way. But Goop is for what middle aged women be. So think lots of pink and…   Susan Stone Like Barbie pink?   Kristina Supler: Yes, Barbie pink. But before it was a thing. Before Barbie was the Barbie remake. Sure. Lululemon, there's no point getting dressed if you don't have on Lululemon.   Susan Stone But see I think of Lululemon as middle age housewife.   Kristina Supler: Well, you think of it athleisure.   Susan Stone  I do.   Kristina Supler: And I do too, actually. But for the young ones out there, it's just what you wear. It's what you do. You always have your water bottle you're carrying around your Stanley thing. But that's not like, I don't know, I, I funny enough, I was doing some reading the other day and came across something on like how Stanley got big and it was a few like Instagram accounts that really made Stanley, like become a huge, huge thing more recently   Susan Stone That Laneige…   Kristina Supler: Lip balm?   Susan Stone Yeah!   Kristina Supler:  Lip Mask? Yup.   Susan Stone  My daughter's   Kristina Supler: Yeah.   Susan Stone The oldest one. Hey, Alex bought it for me and I have say, shout out to Laneige epically now in this bad cold weather.   Kristina Supler: Yeah.   Susan Stone I really like it. Oh my gosh. I meant to ask you, you know how I bought you. Just as a you're the best business partner in the world, Jones Road Balm?   Kristina Supler: Yes.    Susan Stone I am loving it this winter. Do you notice I have a little on?   Kristina Supler:  A little a little subtle glow.   Susan Stone a little subtle glow. But it does keep you moisturized in this weather. So I bought you that gift. Are you using it? I'm putting you on the spot.   Kristina Supler: Well, now that it's cold out, I might, I might bring it back in the summer. It just. It didn't do me right. But now it might be time. Now that my skin's dryer. I will tell you another example of, like, the penultimate preppy brand for girls now is the Aviator Nation sweat wear. And I so I actually, coincidentally enough this weekend was driving and listen to the how I built this podcast.   Susan Stone I love that guy, Raz.   Kristina Supler: Who doesn't, who doesn't!   Susan Stone Shout out to him too.   Kristina Supler: And they had on the founder of Aviator Nation who, by the way, her brother was the founder of Tom's. Think about that family gene pool. Isn't that interesting? But Aviator Nation is essentially like very high-end sweat- sweatshirts, sweat pants, so on and so forth, known for like applique, essentially sewing on stripes of things like that.   Susan Stone I'm looking at it on a website because I didn't know about it. I don't get it.   Kristina Supler: Well, you know, it's just like it's a thing. What makes the sweatshirt worth $150? I couldn't really tell you, but kids want it. Parents are paying for it.   Susan Stone I don't get it.   Kristina Supler: I think it's like a status thing, too. But it's supposed to be very like colorful. And again, it's a lifestyle. It's an aspirational brand. And the young ones are all about it now. So I don't know that these are kind of like the key, I shouldn't say the key, but brands that come to my mind in terms of like, what the tweens now or viewing is like preppy and what is preppy and skin care. They're very they're very intense in skin care   Susan Stone Oh my gosh and I think that's a good thing.   Kristina Supler:  Sure, why not?   Susan Stone I think that establishes really good lifelong habits. But I got to share something. My, in my day, it was either Gloria Vanderbilt or Jordache jeans.   Kristina Supler: Oh yeah.   Susan Stone I've got to tell you, my mother would not buy them for me. We were out of my family's budget and I remember crying over it   Kristina Supler: in my day. It was Guess jeans.   Susan Stone Yeah, but.   Kristina Supler: But you wanted the Gloria Vanderbilt pencil pouch. That was like the hot item at my school.   Susan Stone My parents didn't cater to that.   Kristina Supler: Mine didn't really. But like, my mother understood why it was important to us. And so we always had to like we had chores and allowance and we had to save our money and then go buy it ourselves.   Susan Stone So yeah. And you know what? I really try not to capitulate and rush out to every trend.   Kristina Supler: Sure. No, I think that and that actually by the way, I think that is those are words of wisdom for listeners of any age, because a trend is just that, a trend here today, gone tomorrow. And so, I mean, if you're going to jump on board with the trend, go for it. But I wouldn't, you know, do so in an expensive way.   Susan Stone No, no. Because, you know, we know what that creates.   Kristina Supler: And parents, we all know here today, gone tomorrow in terms of what our kids are interested in, what they want. So what they're saying. Right.   Susan Stone And what they're saying. So for us, it's a necessity. We can't get, do our job unless we can read their texts.   Kristina Supler: Yeah, I mean, kidding aside, of course, this was obviously we were being light with the topic. But truly, there are often times in many cases where we're going through social media communication and there's text back and forth and they're really important. There, you know, relevant to the case and who did what, said what, when, where, so on and so forth. And we need to understand what's being said. And we don't always.   Susan Stone Okay, bruh.   Kristina Supler: Thank you, bruh. LOL. Until next time. Thanks for listening to Real Talk with Susan and Kristina.

The concept of biohacking is gaining traction as more people become aware of the benefits of optimizing their health and longevity. Mike Van Thielen, a life coach and author, has developed a method called the Isolation Method to help people reach their peak performance potential.  Van Thielen emphasizes that in order to optimize health and performance, people must first address the basics – diet, physical activity and grounding. He notes that in order to get the most out of biohacking, the body must be in an optimal state, free from systemic inflammation and other conditions that can hold back performance.    Van Thielen stresses the importance of understanding the exponential nature of aging. He explains that the aging process accelerates as people get older and that this acceleration requires an exponentially greater effort to counteract. He suggests that people begin to focus on their biological age rather than their chronological age in order to better understand the effects of aging on the body.   How to sort out the legitimate biohacking tools from the sketchy ones "When it comes to sorting out the legitimate biohacking tools from the sketchy ones, it is important to do your own research and testing."  Van Thielen said: "Start by looking into the ingredients and research that supports the product. Ask questions and look for reviews. If you can, try out the product yourself or get feedback from others who have used it."    "It is also important to look at the potential risks associated with a product before using it. Some products may have side effects that could be dangerous to your health. Do your research and talk to your doctor if you are unsure."    "Finally, consider your budget. While some products may be very expensive, there are also affordable options available. Cold showers, saunas, and cryotherapy are all inexpensive ways to biohack."  What are the benefits of being in the zone? Mike Van Thielen believes that being in the zone can provide significant benefits, such as freeing up valuable time, being more focused and effective, and being able to complete tasks in a shorter amount of time. He also believes that it is important to have foundations in place and to be guided in the right way in order to get the most out of being in the zone. He also emphasizes the importance of avoiding distractions and utilizing various techniques, such as the Pomodora technique, and taking advantage of natural substances, such as Bio Citro, to help get into the zone. Finally, he cautions that bio-transformation, which is the merging of technology with the human body, can be used for both good and bad purposes, and should be monitored closely. In this podcast, you will learn about: How can bio-hacking be used to improve one's health? How can people extend their lifespan to 100 years and the benefits of being biologically younger? Methods people use to perform at their highest potential What is the Pomodora technique? and so much more EPISODE RESOURCES: FREE SAMPLE Linkedin Instagram Facebook Instagram www.clarigenz.com/

In 2020, office spaces around the country began to resemble the ghost towns of the Wild West. Still, Suzy Biszantz, group president of men's and women's at Centric Brands, was determined to find an in-person space for her teams that would balance safety and productivity. To do so, she traversed to the Arts District of Los Angeles and secured a workspace that could also facilitate the growth of the company, where she oversees its Favorite Daughter, Herve Leger, Hudson, Buffalo Jeans and Izod brands. “It's important that your creative people who touch product are able to actually touch and feel and be around the product,” said Biszantz on the Glossy podcast. “We rented a new building that's 20,000 square feet, has 10 separate entrances and is all one story.” The building's other Covid-safe features include ample outdoor space for collaborative meetings, a lack of elevators, and separate exits and entrances. Each brand needs its own space because each is focused on different objectives, she said. “[For] each brand, you have to look at the total potential,” when determining its DTC, wholesale and retail strategies," she said. In the same way, not every brand is focusing its marketing strategy on collaborations with influencers, which is a unique challenge. “You have to strike the right balance of operational support, logistics support, strategic support,” she said, regarding a brand's role in influencer partnerships. “But you can't lose and water down the authenticity of who you're collaborating with.”

If there's one positive thing to come out of this pandemic, it's that technological advancements that were expected to take years to adopt happened in a matter of months. Is that trend going to continue? Will that be the expectation, or will innovation slow back down? Eileen Mahoney has been leading digital innovation in the retail industry for decades. She's the Chief Information Officer at PVH, the parent company of household brand names such as Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, IZOD, Geoffrey Beene, and more. Eileen shares her perspective on the many shifts in retail technology, not just in the last year, but over the span of her career.   Resources: linkedin.com/in/eileen-mahoney-b02b86   Learn more and get the full show notes at: 3PillarGlobal.com

On today’s episode we've got three pioneers in different aspects of the health space but one thing they share in common is their passion to help you live your best life. Living your best life may sound like an overused Instagram hashtag, but in this case it is three amazing individuals who overcame trauma, health challenges and more to learn how not just to survive in life, but to thrive no matter what life throws your way. You’ve probably seen Dutch fitness model and trainer Jill de Jong in the latest Peloton commercial, on the cover of Women’s Health and in ads for L’Oréal, Avon and Izod. She was also the real-life body model for Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider video game. But before she was sought after model, actress and fitness expert, she was a calorie-counting teenager trying to fit in with the other calorie-counting models where together they created unrealistic and unsustainable ways to maintain their bodies. After years of feeling deprived, eating all the wrong things, and feeling completely uncomfortable in her skin, she knew things had to change. Jill’s newfound passion for nutrition led her to become a health coach and certified personal trainer. Today, she shares her story  and healthy recipes in her cookbook, Models Do Eat, and on her podcast Life Done Better. Jill is passionate about helping others to find better ways to move, eat, deal with stress, and design action steps for all that they want to achieve in life.   Dr. Allen Lycka has been acknowledged as one of the leading cosmetic dermatologists in the world for three decades. He is a co-founder of Doctors for the Practice of Safe and Ethical Aesthetic Medicine and founder of The Canadian Skin Cancer Association. He has won the prestigious Consumers Choice Award For Cosmetic Surgery for 16 consecutive years. In 2003, Dr. Lycka’s life changed drastically when he suddenly developed a right foot drop and then misdiagnosed as ALS (Lou Gherigs’ disease). After being told he only had months to live he discovered the secret that would change his life. He did not have ALS, and he was able to treat his condition naturally and make a full recovery. Because of what he learned, he co-authored the book The Secrets of Living A Fantastic Life with Harriet Tinka. Harriet Tinka was a model-turned student at the University of Calgary. Featured on haute couture runways and in fashion magazines, she chose to turn her back on the soul-crushing pressure to be the "ideal female body." Instead she chose to go to school and focus on getting an education. During this time, one of her friends began to turn critical, mean and possessive, until one night he attacked her. She was beaten, abducted and sliced up with a butcher's knife. It was a miracle she survived, but the trauma left her with a big "why me?" As she faced her adversities, she was one day inspired by a little girl in a wheelchair who said to her, “Move forward and use your pain to inspire others.” Harriet decided it was time to pay it forward. Ever since, she has inspired and touched the lives of over 500 teens! Learn how to eat like a supermodel plus the secrets to living a fantastic life in today's episode of Food Heals!

Episode 150: “Holding Back the Years” This week Host Dave Bledsoe invites you to lace up your Chuck Taylors, pull on your Izod shirt, grab you Members Only Jacket and head down to the arcade with him to celebrate One Hundred and Fiftieth Episode and Thee Years of this here low rated podcast! (We don't know who is a bigger glutton for punishment!) On this episode we examine what has transpired in the world since we started this show, and want you to know we take NO responsibility for how badly things turned out. (We did NOT elect Trump, not matter what anyone says!) Then we spend rather a lot of time bashing a certain best selling book that is little more than and litany of cliched pop culture references disguise as a novel. (Sounds like a certain podcast on which we write show notes.) We also sincerely doubt whether the movie about to premier based on this novel will be worth watching. Then we remind EVERYONE that the 80's was only cool and fun if you a white, straight male with access to a fair amount of disposable income. Everyone else kinds thinks they were the worst decade ever. (Which is true.) Our sponsor this week see 1983 return to kill our childhoods again. We open the show with Kevin Bacon and close with Adrian Libertini cover one of the most 80's songs ever.

Scot: [0:39] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott shirtless after a long Jason Scott holiday decided to have you back. [0:52] Yeah yeah we had to kind of this perfect storm where you had a bunch of travel ahead travel that offset from your travel and it has been 30 days since we laid down a Jason Scott show. [1:06] Yes the first of all the most important question have you seen Star Wars yet. Jason: [1:09] I have I have made good use of our time off and I feel I got caught up on all the media that you’ve been frustrated that you haven’t been able to talk to me about so I got to see the Star Wars probably a week after you but. Totally enjoyed it and I’ll see what I can do any spoilers but I feel like I was I was pleased and enjoyed it. Scot: [1:32] Yep yeah I loved it there there’s a pretty good second a fan of that hates it though so it’s been I know Chris. Over at he was previously at Puma now at Izod is very upset about Star Wars we have to get him on the shoulder after more people have seen it took to hear his thoughts on it. Jason: [1:50] Yeah although we might have to reserve that for the e-commerce Star Wars fan spin off podcast. Scot: [1:56] Yeah yeah. Jason: [1:58] Slightly more nutrients. Scot: [2:01] But for hours. Jason: [2:03] But I feel like this is useful information only to you and not to any of our listeners that I have done some hard work in this month I’ve totally caught up on mr. robot and I was like over a season behind you on that. And I feel like I’m almost completely caught up on all the The Avengers Netflix series so I’m I’m excited. Chat in the in our pre-show prep sometime. Scot: [2:28] The content is really coming out rapidly though so have you seen you got to watch Discovery so Star Trek Discovery is good and then the new Will Smith movie on Netflix is really good I think you’d like it. Jason: [2:38] Not so I am cut up on Discovery and I agree I’ve been telling joining it other than the irritation of having to subscribe to. [2:47] The yet another service for one show that’s the CBS Show Network. [2:54] So I’m also watching the good fight just because we used to watch The Good Wife and we weren’t interested in striving just to watch the spin-off series but since we bought it for Star Wars we’ve been watching that as well. Yeah lots of lots of good content and it is sort of merging with the Commerce world as many of our our friends than that, space it become the major content Publishers in the New World. Scot: [3:17] Yeah I guess pretty wild. So weed since it’s been a month since we had a show we have a lot to cover and let’s jump into it so first we’re going to do some trip reports and then we’ll cover some news, and the Scooby the last show 2017 so, in next week’s episode what should be the first show of 2018 we that would be our annual prediction show where will review those predictions we made was it Jason episode 64 I think. [3:45] Summer back then we made some bold predictions and we’re going to ask ourselves on those and then lay down our 2018 bold predictions for what’s going to happen in all things Commerce, so that why don’t you could have told me you tell me about some of the nursing retail you saw as you were traveling around in December. Jason: [4:04] Yeah so I did do a bunch of trips in December I think ironically you may have gone to visit more new stores then I had but I did. Mention and I hope a lot of people see it now I would I got to visit one of the very first Amazon pop ups in Whole Foods so there’s now a bunch of Whole Food stores that have these dedicated Amazon pop ups and they. Have all the the Amazon branded gadgets and a few third-party Gadgets in the store so my local Whole Foods has one. Nothing super surprising their inventory is really good though so like they had the the security cameras when they first came out I was able to get some of the. The echo buttons for my Ferrari Alexis here at the house so we can play Jeopardy and do that sort of stuff. And you course heard heard my device in the background responding to to our podcast cuz I forgot to hit mute. [5:08] What interesting thing about the Amazon pop-up store it was interesting to me the point-of-sale that they’re running in the pop-up store is clover which is a super popular. Small-business POS system I find it humorous because. If you go into an actual Amazon bookstore it’s kind of painted check out because they make you use the Amazon app and they don’t accept cash. And so somewhat ironic that these Amazon owned pop-ups inside of Whole Foods which is owned by Amazon. Take credit cards through the clover but won’t let you pay with your Amazon account. [5:44] So very very different retail philosophy than the Apple the Amazon book stores where they don’t show prices and. Make use the Amazon app and all that sort of stuff but I have a feeling that has more to do with a expedience than any particular strategy. Scot: [6:01] Yeah I’m sure someone in the bowels of Amazon is working on it PLS for a Kindle what kind of a tablet I’m sure that’s in the works. Jason: [6:09] Yeah absolutely. I also got to visit the Google pop-up store so this is an annual pop-up they do in New York it was in. Tribeca last year and I think it’s in the Flatiron District which is just a little further north. [6:25] This year and I would say was a little disappointing last year it was a net new retail concept that used it to give live demos of all the new Amazon Google Hardware. And you know last year the home had just launched that is your first can see that the pixel it just launched they were showing the first VR headset since there’s a lot of like. New hardware and it was kind of a cool experience in retail environment in this year. Everything’s very incremental like it’s it’s basically the same retail environment as last year but with the newer Hardware in it and. You know Google doesn’t have a lot of net new hardware this year it’s mostly. Evolutions of the hardware they showed last year so you know Google home is better than a couple permeations now that the pixel 2 which is course better to have more apps on the Google VR but like there really wasn’t any. [7:16] Marquee thing to see your experience in the the store this year that you would have done last year so I guess. [7:26] If you looked at it on its own it was probably a good showroom by the way you can’t buy anything that’s inside of their showroom but if you compared it to last year it was it was pretty darn incremental. And then I did last month have a trip to Amsterdam. There’s not a ton of super interesting retail that would be relevant to this audience. But one of the Novelties they have a very large Apple Store it was one of the European Flagship stores. It’s now about 5 years old but it still has the distinction of being the the world’s largest Genius bar so it has this huge Genius Bar and the only reason I bring it up is its. It’s kind of shocking to walk in the store to huge two-story store in addition to the Super One Genius Bar. They have tons of project tables for various services that they provide and it’s it’s really a stark contrast to the fact that like. [8:26] 75% of the of the floor space of this Apple Store is really dedicated to Services verses. [8:34] Selling Apple retail products and I do feel this is a large evolution of the Apple stores that you know they have. They’ve done produced that their party products that they carry you know they’re there more focus on Apple products than ever before but that the real role of the store has shifted from. Introducing Apple products and selling Apple product to providing service for Apple products. Scot: [9:01] Yara are local Apple Store upgraded to that new kind of what are they call it Town Hall. [9:07] Jars the growth and yeah I was surprised the number of skews they carry went way down on the third-party side like the whole speaker display went away in a bunch of that stuff and it is very much more of a service kind of an orientation which is which is very interesting. Jason: [9:21] Yeah and of course is Apple’s bottom or third-party unit products and made them first party products it makes it less appealing for them to carry the competitors. Products of that that’s the only part of it but it it you know there is it gyro when you would have gone, anytime you went by the Apple Store you pop in because you be likely to see something new if it wasn’t a new Apple product it would be some new accessories and you know now like, you know if you’re very techy it’s not very likely you’re going to walk into an Apple store and and you know. Have the excitement of discovering something new thing you haven’t heard of. Scot: [9:55] Yeah, cool so I was in New York for a personal trip and we went up to see the tree in a couple shows and whatnot and hit a lot of retail and as we were kind of wandering around the city I had a list of things to check off for SUP was the Amazon store down by Empire State Building I had not been in that one yet so I wanted to see that and were the first people I see there is Jason Del Rey one of our friends the Jason Scott shows that was kind of a, funny coincidence in the city of what is an 8 to 10 million people I run into Jason at the Amazon store. Jason: [10:27] No way was he working there is that his night job or was he. Scot: [10:30] No he was actually he in a fellow colleague had actually done at or behind that store is the prime now hub for I guess South Manhattan and they have done a tour of that as kind of precedent and your this was. December 19th or 20th now that’s. Yeah yeah somewhere in there so it’s going to peak season I guess they did got a tour during peak season is of President and he was exiting through the store just kind of have a look and ran into. Jason: [11:00] Yeah and I knew that wasn’t his side hustle I just want to make fun of them. Scot: [11:06] And then. The it’s been about 18 months since I’ve been an Amazon store and I felt like the adenta lot of cool new stuff about having to act better integrated and the checkout was you could chuck check out anywhere which is kind of neat you didn’t have to go to check out a lot of cool things they’ve done there. Jason: [11:22] Yep and is there a coffee shop in that one that’s a little bit on the smaller side right ok Google. Scot: [11:26] It has a coffee shop yeah yeah I couldn’t tell we didn’t have time to stop by I could tell if they actually operate or if it’s a third-party it wasn’t Brandon Starbucks or any other brand or anything so it’s kind of Nursing. Jason: [11:39] And that is, that’s on 34th Street in New York which is one of the more stories retail streets in the world that’s the largest Macy’s and a ton of retail flagships open up on that store so it’s pretty important retail real estate. Scot: [11:56] Yeah that’s what yeah we literally walk from there to Macy’s in like dinner a box or something wasn’t bad at all. That was cool and it’s good to see Jason and then I stopped a lot of brand stores know we talk a lot on the the show about digitally native vertical Brands opening the store so I wanted to see some of them went to everlane which was in her everything’s kind of, unisex Basics and the store was jam-packed that was does interesting he can actually buy stuff out of that stores there’s a lot going on there. My favorite when I stumbled on it hadn’t planned to go is I read a lot about these sneakers called All Birds and, there’s always described his slippers plus sneakers equals all birds and look at this really kind of wool soft kind of thing in the upper and then have a soft Rubber Sole. I answered went there try those on those really fast and because that place was humming I mean it was like. 6 people deep try on shoes or when was walking out with boxes so you could tell there was a lot of energy around that store. The most crowded one is a Skate brand called Supreme I’ve never had all these articles about this place where people wait overnight and. Part of the whole thing is they only let like 15 people in this world of time cuz it’s really small so so went there sure enough there was a line literally around a New York City Block and it’s kind of funny the line breaks because. Passes of all these other stores they get angry when that line go so you see the light you know she’s breaks in the line so. People that don’t know how the line works all these International people trying to get in line they’ll just kind of hop in the line. [13:26] They have all these bouncers to the line and they’re very Surly in this part of the whole experience for there, like you know this is not the end of the line go over here that’s in the line of their kind of mean to you so it’s funny to watch that. Repeating the Supreme store and it’s literally like 60 skews in there and people were buying as much as they can get their hands on it also read that it’s. Demand-supply so tightly most people that shop in there take all that stuff and sell it on eBay and Amazon so it’s really kind of a become a. [13:54] People just got to camp out and get the stuff and sell it online to firstfield with looks so that was interesting. [14:01] Yep then if you’re in the retail world you getting your gift run by story so I went by there they were quite busy and then there’s a couple new down in SoHo Adidas and Nike have some cool new stuff so I got to experience that. All very good and then the one that was kind of thing is a e American Eagle I guess it is they have the say eStudio where is this whole concept that’s in Union Square. Say it’s a denim shop in a laundromat and it’s kind of funny the laundromat was really more of a prop like no one was there using it, looks like there are six machines that it almost never been choose there like these giant dustrial stainless steel machines this is I read several articles this is going to be kind of, how to get Millennials back into the store with this this. [14:47] Going to come get your laundry they’re going to shop while they do it the Millennials I was with can I give it a thumbs down they didn’t like that store the other things that you would have appreciated is every. Every pair of denim had a tablet there they were too high and iPads. But they were just sitting there plant looping a video there is no kind of integration with reviews and it’s got to start having been to the Amazon store where they pull everything from online into the store and then this one which is just like this. Kind of looping video and spend all this money on these tablets for they were interactive at all I thought was kind of a big mess for those guys so good to experience a lot of retail on my truck which was fun. Jason: [15:23] Yeah it’s perfect that you were you got a chance to do that I was you went pretty fast. Is the everlane store did you see anything digital in that store because unlike a lot of those other brands everlane really is the one that like, started off as a digital Brandon and added retail and of course online they’re really well known for having Rich product information on there, on their website and are super transparent like they showed up building materials for all the the products you know the real pricing for everything today have any of that in the store. Scot: [15:56] Not that I saw it felt like. [15:59] It felt like a small Gap you know kind of the same kind of just Basics or like yours a sweater in four colors here is pants and five colors on a table there weren’t any I didn’t see any digital displays or any of that kind of stuff in the store. Jason: [16:13] Yeah that was my impression from earlier as well so it it’s interesting and disappointing a little bit that even when it’s an important part of your brand online that that. A lot of these guys that are opening it just a few stores aren’t figuring out how to carry that through to their physical presence as well. Scot: [16:30] Yeah yeah, you need to walk over to the Amazon store and see how it’s done. Jason: [16:35] Exactly although Apple Amazon probably has some room to improve there too so hopefully next year will be talking about some of them cooler retailers that that are getting it right maybe that that should be a prediction for next year. Scot: [16:49] Yep yep you can always aren’t you so that’s the truth before it’s let’s start it, mac review of news how do you. How do you feel the the holiday it’s too early to call it but we we should have a pretty good read here since we’re doing this after Christmas how do you think holiday went for 2017. Jason: [17:09] Yeah I am pleasantly surprised I’ll even go so far as to say that my slightly pessimistic Outlook going into holiday. It has not proven to be the case so you know there were lots of Rosy predictions going in the holiday ever are almost every year by the way. And I had mentioned on the earlier show that often times when you have a better than average year in sales it’s because you got. Super Promotional and you know very marginal rosian so you. You see all these great articles in December about have a good holiday sales were and then you’d see all these badass quarterly reports in January from all these companies that talked about how they didn’t make any money. And so that still could happen but the. Early indications are that we had pretty rough but better than usual growth in e-commerce we definitely had better than usual growth in brick-and-mortar Commerce and that it wasn’t. A hyper promotional holiday where where you know we just got there by by dramatically cutting costs and starting some crazy. Arms race so so that all looks pretty encourage. Scot: [18:22] Yeah yeah I’m seeing the same things I’m really interested in hearing how Amazon did so I’m on pins and needles until their fourth quarter of you because. If if e-commerce accelerated kind of the 18 maybe 20% level and I think we could see a. Amazon 30% Q4 which day did Jeremy slow down in the 4th quarter state. Because it’s just such a big order for them it’s it’s hard comp to do well on so if they did High twenties R30 that that just means he just soaked up an amazing amount of of share so I’m curious to see what they were. Jason: [18:58] And that I mean we’ve already seen some predictions I think there’s a Barron’s article that that. Said they like 50% of all holiday sale sales work was Amazon so that that would certainly boutwell of that proves to be true. You know what one of the data sources we follow pretty close to use the MasterCard data and they’re they’re calling it a 18% growth in December for e-commerce and 4.8% for retail which is. A big jump that would be the biggest growth since 2011 for a brick-and-mortar retail so that super exciting and then one cautionary Tale. Maybe with a slight astrix there’s a couple firms that track. UPS and FedEx on time shipping and it does appear that we ran into some capacity problems particularly with UPS. So they’re reporting that UPS had a 89% on-time shipping over cyber 5 that’s obviously like. You know one of the the biggest Peaks. UPS is of course trying to be ready for that Peak but you know 89% on time is is pretty low that’s that’s what is lower than historic. And then even in the first week in December they were 91% on time and that you know computers pretty unfavorably was like last year where they were at 97%. On time for that same week FedEx which is used a lot less in the overall scheme of things for e-commerce is it like 99% on time. [20:33] But these numbers are accurate which UPS dispute you might imagine the. [20:42] It is a signal you know that that’s totally in line with this trend we’ve been talking about about these carriers just aren’t growing as fast as e-commerce and so we were perpetually having a bigger capacity problem every year. For these Peaks and so you know UPS grew about. 8% capacity this year but we just said that the e-commerce might have been around 18 or 20% and that the result is that they’re having to put all kinds of extra strength and construction zone retailers about, what does ship Win 4 for retailers in it you know you could predict project this trend out a couple years and it certainly seems that whatever retailer Zone, their own last-mile capacity. There’s only one are going to have a pretty big advantage over over the the rest of the industry as, you know the industry continues to grow faster than then the UPS can can fulfill. Scot: [21:43] Yeah yeah the good news though is we didn’t have a debacle like was a 2015 and a 2015 is that one year we’re like 3 million packages gutensohn the system and it couldn’t keep up so. Jason: [21:55] And a lot of it just miss Christmas shipment which is the course the worst. Scot: [21:58] Yeah yes a lot of stress on the system but it did kind of held up it looks like you know what kind of mentioned Amazon in there but let’s make it official it wouldn’t be a Jason Scott show without talking about. [22:27] So first let’s talk about Amazon does it come in manual pressure release the week after Christmas and I will put a link to it in the show notes but. This is about me massive it’s like. Literally 120 bullets of of highlights I pulled out a couple that I thought listeners would find interesting the most specific one is they actually said 4 million people. Child Prime during the holidays which decimal specific number they’ve ever used about Prime, and it’s a big number so you know most people kind of Peg Prime at maybe 60 million, but if you have 4 million people just come in trial for the holiday that’s pretty amazing. [23:13] You know if if if half of those stick that’s like a 5% bump right there and just Prime books they said the top selling item was the Echo. And then. Add Amazon Alexa has been the top. Download in the IOS app store which I’m sure Apple loves to see which is kind of nursing they also said tens of millions of Alexa enabled devices were sold. [23:35] So I guess is range of 10 to 99 million devices what do you use to lower that range 10 in a lot of people have talked about. These things aren’t that saturated there’s not many people using these devices you know that’s that’s it with 300 million consumers 10 million is. Pretty much cereal I think that’s probably Global number too so interesting to see they’re pushing a lot of Alexa enabled devices out there. There’s some tidbits around the marketplace they said a billion items were sold over the holiday season didn’t know Define the holiday season I’m going to guess they probably call it November one forward and I think they’re talking about. [24:14] Thanksgiving for it at cuz they take a coffee run promotions earlier, three-way abdulian items were sold in the Dover the Cyber 5 which is Thanksgiving the Cyber Monday they said third-party sold 140 million items on the Fulfillment side they highlighted the 10 performance centers had a million item days, that’s a lot of items shipping out of the film It Center in this is kind of an interesting kind of flexing of their data science muscles I thought, I thought you would appreciate they said these Coast has more holiday spirit than the West Coast because Alexa was asked play holiday music 2 and 1/2 times as frequently on the East Coast vs West Coast, I really weird tidbit for them to pull out and it just kind of showed you know how these trends that are able to see through all the devices and machine learning capability that they have. Jason: [25:03] Yeah it’s it’s almost scary to think about like some of the insights they can get in human behavior was from all of that data. Scot: [25:11] Yeah they said like the most requested recipe was chocolate chip cookies the most requested song was Jingle Bells today I got a couple interesting things there. When Amazon article I wanted to ask you about it said that these ad agencies and image of wpp Omnicom and pupusas. Did they are spending 800 million in 2018 for ads on Amazon which is a 40 to 50% increase year-over-year I thought that was. Interesting that the ad agencies are really waking up to Amazon as a an advertising video but then also I’m curious like we’re who’s losing the, you know the the 400 million or whatever that Delta is in there is a coming from TVs coming from Google what what do you think about that. Jason: [26:04] Yeah it is super interesting that I mean Amazon is a great advertising platform for a variety of reasons and so I think we’re going to. Continue to see them get more relevant at the moment you know what these are, wildly rough estimates of third parties so I can’t get into talking exactly about what what pupusas suspend is with Amazon for example. Directionally what I think you’re seeing at the moment is a ton of spending, from brands on Amazon but it’s pending it’s coming out of the Brand’s trade budgets versus their marketing budget so when you you think about a. A Big Brand a cpg like Procter & Gamble or an apparel brand or whatever like they’re likely is a CMO that has a marketing budget to build brand Affinity in his his KP eyes are things like unassisted brand recall. He’s the one buying the Super Bowl ads and those guys I don’t think are spending a big trance are not shifting a lot of spin to Amazon yet. But in addition to those guys there’s the sales person that owns. All the sales that happened with Walmart or Target or Costco and those guys that have a budget, to buy ads or promotional opportunities with those retailers to help sell products for that particular retail so traditionally. [27:35] That could be coupons that they they co-published with that retailer order could be in-store advertising it could be an incap to make the product more visible order or these kinds of things and so now. Amazon has become a major retailer for all these Brands and so it has an account team just like all these other brands, and it has a trade budget just like all those other brands but instead of buying in store point-of-purchase displays or coupons, they’re they’re spending that those dollars with a am at G and and you know most often AMS, on Amazon platform and so if anything that those dollars are really shifting, from other retailers that are getting smaller as Amazon’s getting bigger and the trade budget goes along with the sales, on Amazon so you know that those dollars are probably coming out of Target more than they are coming out of network television advertising at this point. Scot: [28:36] Yeah I haven’t seen a circular in a long time but I’ve stopped getting the paper long time ago too so I imagine there’s there’s not a lot of opportunities to spend money on the circulars in those kinds of things. Jason: [28:46] OSHA disappointingly most retailers still have those programs and you absolutely can spend money on them and you know there’s a lot of sacred cows there so shifting dollars off of those things, probably harder than it logically should be but but it’s certainly starting to happen and once those dogs get shifted to Amazon they become. Way more measurable and. Frankly most cases more effective in so you know once once that Ship Happens that becomes a great case study and I suspect a lot of seeing those are looking at those things. You know I won’t be surprised if we see the the Big Marketing budget start to follow some of those trade budgets onto Amazon. [29:28] Another Super interesting thing to me in this last month that we didn’t get a chance to talk about. Is there have been a number of interesting signs about Amazon entering the. The prescription drug market so that they actually got Pharmacy licenses in about 13 states. And there are various kinds of Pharmacy licenses and this is not a license to dispense medications it’s a license to. Dispense medical equipment so that could be the stuff you use for getting oxygen in your home or Walkers are all this this various medical equipment that Amazon that has a license to sell in like 12 or 13 states. But when those licenses were disclosed you know that it became news Amazon’s looking at the the pharmacy business and you know whether it was coincidental or not. We we saw CVS make a big announcement about a potential merger acquisition with Aetna, that would sort of be emphasized CVS’s retail business, of course Walgreens in the middle of a merger we’re seeing the big Pharmacy companies kind of, try to diversify themselves and not be as as focused on retail at the same time that we’re seeing a number of interesting indications that Amazon might be getting into the the pharmacy business. Scot: [30:58] Yeah yeah the CVS setting the stuff was quite popular on CNBC is a way to kind of have an Integrated Health platform and should be interesting to see you. [31:10] What stops Amazon from doing the same thing you know they could open up their own health insurance armor something there’s there’s no business I don’t think he was on would get into so to be a nurse in the seat. Jason: [31:20] Yeah I normally. Scot: [31:21] How that how it plays out. Jason: [31:22] When when you know Amazon gets in any new business like their quickly are people that run up and go well here’s why that business is different than other ones Amazon’s been successful and here’s why Amazon won’t be able to be successful here right like in in general, all those barriers proved to not be very big barriers in Pharmacy one of those big barriers is that, you know you really have to have a partnership in agreement with the insurance companies, to enable the the folks that are insured by those companies to get their prescription meds from you and since that the traditional pharmacies of locked up a lot of those deals, you know people have speculated it would be hard for Amazon to answer without a a insurance partnership. And what’s what’s interesting is there’s a huge chunk of people that are now buying, their prescription meds out of pocket and not using Insurance either because they’re underinsured or don’t have insurance or because they’re they’re finding that you can in many cases, get better rates on the prescriptions than the negotiated race that the insurance company has locked them into in so you know one one piece of speculation is the Amazon could really be focusing on, Pharmacy products for people that are paying out-of-pocket versus, you know being a big part of the the insurance industry and of course it’s not outside the realm of possibility Amazon could buy a big insurance company pretty easily in the same way they bought Whole Foods. Scot: [32:54] Yeah yeah absolutely another kind of kind of. [32:59] It’s going a little bit outside of Amazon but are our friends at recode. Jason had a interesting scoop where, hi he had heard this kind of the cowboy rumors that Home Depot was looking at acquiring there are Logistics partner which is XPO XPO Logistics is. A company that focuses on The Last Mile logistics for heavy items so if you’ve ever gotten something delivered from a Home Depot like Appliance or a set of cabinets or, I furniture and that kind of thing XTO is well known for that and you know what what he was reporting is that. Amazon’s looked at the company and if amp it as part of their Furniture efforts to Amazon’s doing a pretty big push into Furniture I’m sure Wayfair use XPO also but that I haven’t seen anything specific to that, but if you have a pretty good lock on this kind of heavy stuff being delivered so you know what. What’s interesting is Amazon sniff somewhere and other retailers really wake up and are starting to make pretty big news this would be like a 9 billion dollar acquisition so this isn’t just kind of a small, defensive plays on these things that are happening here based on what Amazon’s doing so it’ll be interesting to keep an eye on that one to see what happens. Jason: [34:10] Yeah but you can you can easy to imagine you know you’re in one of these businesses that predominately deliver big heavy stuff like Home Depot or Furniture Company in Hugo hey what would happen to us if Amazon bought our fulfillment. Scot: [34:23] Yeah yeah seems like the best antidote for that is to start building up that kind of capability like like Amazon is doing so interested to see if, retailers do that and what it would cost him, Cheryl or she will be on board with that when I could dine ask you about that was announced during our break there was Target acquired shipt s h i p t there’s all these companies name, Chris plays on the word ship this is D grocery delivery company I think they’re out of Alabama are some somewhere unusual they’re not a Bay Area delivery company, Target acquired before between 500 and 600 million depending on how they’re not works and stuff so kind of furthering this kind of grocery delivery battle with what do you think about that. Jason: [35:05] Yeah it was so for clarification this is not the company that Kmart uses to ship your pants right so that’s an old e-commerce. [35:17] For those of you that used to watch that the Kmart original e-commerce ads that were pretty funny will put a link to those in the show but yeah that was a big acquisition and and actually, Target 2nd and condition this year in the Fulfillment Channel. [35:35] And it’s interesting to for folks that aren’t familiar with shipped you can kind of think of them as like an instacart they they have a big network of. 1099 employees. That they send to the store to pick up goods and deliver them same day to Consumers and so they they do some fresh grocery deliveries and they do a lot of General Merchant deliveries. I need the have been doing some work for Target but they also do Kroger and Costco I think and so if you’re Target. You’re buying this company that that a bunch of your competitors are using right now for same-day delivery and that’s a little bit dicey like target has said in the short run we’re not going to change them at all we’re going to. Continue to use them and. It’s a little tricky you you pay shipping $99 membership fee to be able to get deliveries from them and then you get deliveries from any of the retailers in their Network, and obviously the more retailers they have in their Network the more valuable they are in the more likely they are to be able to get people to pay. These $99 membership fees so if Target was investing in shipped hoping shipped would just grow as a separate entity. It’s a scary investment because if your Costco. You might not want to use shift anymore now that they’re owned by one of your competitors Target right and so. [37:08] Potentially the company becomes West valuable when one of their customers buys it you know especially when they’re banking on this networking effective. Of having more retailers in getting more customers. The the other side of this would be to say hey Target just needs more capacity for doing same day delivery themselves and they’re buying ship for that that capability in there eventually going to, ship them away from the separate business model towards just being a resource for Target. And you know that would make a lot more sense but then they probably overpaid for it right because they probably paid a valuation based on. On this growth projection that ship has it as a separate entity so it’s a little bit of a catch-22 how how Target will use them. But it certainly makes sense that that retailers need to be thinking and investing in, their own last-mile capabilities like particular you’re going to be in the fresh category you want to think about how you’re going to do home fulfillment on Fresh which is point to point. So I think there’s some interesting things I’m glad to see Target making investments in here like this is potentially a risky investment. Given that that you know Target’s claiming that they’re going to let them run as a standalone company in there there you know now potentially tainted as a standalone company given the throne by Target. Scot: [38:37] Yes they have to think the value is if we roll out same delivery to ask Target stores we generate y sales and it’s worth $500 to get why sales so I sales must be like in the billions of dollars which makes sense to me. Jason: [38:51] Yeah and Target you know which is doing well at e-commerce over 50% of all Targets e-commerce is fulfill from spores in so this is really, Expediting that that’s for fulfillment and since target has a store close to someone that many consumers, same day can be you know potentially cheaper than shipping and in many cases so you know it it is leveraging Target strength which is this this big network of stores that are close to Consumer so big picture I like it you know I hard to say whether they pay the right price for it or not. Scot: [39:29] We’ll save it for the prediction show but I’m curious if you think this causes Postmates an instacart to kind of if those pens fall as well from this acquisition so we’ll save it for next year. [39:42] I want to report on is Stitch fix we talked about when they’re S1 was filed we spent a fair amount of time going through that and explain that model will since that show they went public and, that is kind of a lukewarm reception so when you go public you put this range out there. There ain’t nothing was 16 to $18 the price a little bit below that range at 15 which is an indicator that you know if people were concerned a bad the. Have a negative backdrop blue apron had missed a quarterly number as. Stitch fix was out on the road which is terrible timing these things happen so so they could do it you know that. Google subscription models even though once food and wants apparel and we know on the show that’s vastly different problems to solve it but I think investors kind of said. This is this is a challenging segment let’s punish but let’s let’s. Not punishment put on more risk around the stitches thing get 15 but then was really interesting is, there’s I want to go public there’s a about a six-month of three to six-month window before you announce your earnings, so they didn’t have any news or anything. People as they got familiar with the model I don’t know exactly what happened but it got up as high as 28-29 then they announced their quarter in December 19th and, you know there there’s kind of Tale of Two Cities there I think they did really well on the quarterly results compared. [41:13] Going forward they did talk about there should be some pressure on margins and having to spend a fair amount on sales and marketing to acquire customers some folks reacted negatively and then it came back from them so I would say it’s been a successful IPO there, last I looked there in a market cap of about two and a half billion which is, pretty good and you know so I think there are there out there doing really well and you know I think this investment is going to be with people watch to see can they really turn that into active. Subscriber system. Jason: [41:44] Yeah and it’s not automatically a bit I know the higher price you get in that IPO you know the more money that is for the company in the short run but in the long run, it’s not necessarily a horrible thing that you you have some room post-ipo for that kind of bump right in that bike, certainly you know create some advantages in terms of equity for employees and and all that sort of thing right. Scot: [42:12] Yeah yeah there’s. [42:15] Target also depends on who’s selling IPO so do you have primary source and secondary shares so if your investors are selling in diepio and they get a low price that’s going too bad because they are looking for a high return, what is the company selling shares you know there is an argument to be made kind of Goldilocks it be somewhat conservative other people tell you no. Did Equity you’re selling you should maximize the value of that and do what you can so I think it’s a. Nothing and I was just one mile marker on this very long road and it’s really kind of start of a New Journey so so I think it’s good that they’ve done well and and people are following them and there’s been some turning there still there. Base of shareholders but it seems to have gotten sticky and people that are believing it or are there now know there are a lot of naysayers that kind of talk about it. [43:07] They don’t believe that it’s kind of an algorithm company and it is it is hard when they also say they have something like 3,000 stylus them company with 3000 stylish set up so people are still trying to figure that out. Jason: [43:22] Yeah and that you know they truly are an interesting company that they’re certainly claiming a lot of interesting successes or an artificial intelligence and you know both, gopher merchandising for for you know deciding what goes in that that fix that box and, you know how sticky those products are two customers how many they keep but also they’re starting to use that artificial intelligence to Define new products and and sticks Stitch fix his kind of shifted from, predominantly being a reseller of other people’s apparel tub to producing their own products based on this artificial intelligence data now that they have. This big critical mass I think it’s we’ve talked about on the show before the chief data scientist there is that Chief data scientist from Netflix so, pretty credible team on the artificial intelligence stuff and in many ways these guys are the poster child for artificial intelligence research retail so if. It’s cool that they’re public in there. You know disclosing more information and we’re getting a c under the under the covers a little bit more so certainly someone to to follow closely. For that also interesting that you know it’s a female run company and I say that because the the next piece of news we have is about another new weed female run company which is Colts. Scot: [44:41] Yes yes a Kohl’s promoted their Chief digital officer to CEO so we actually had Kevin on the show Kevin Manziel and, this is this is really not official yet I mean they’ve announced it but it doesn’t happen until I think May of next year but there’s been a lot of Articles kind of talking about how she’s going to save the company. Jason: [45:01] Yeah I’m always excited about this because Michelle is the latest in a sort of class of the. Digital Executives becoming the chief executive of the company and you know that we’re really just starting to see the first wave of those so am I mean like one of the very first ones. Was Art Peck who’s now who is the VP of e-commerce at Gap and is not running Gap. Billy Mays been on the show Huey Ren e-commerce for Abercrombie & Fitch she’s now the CEO at surlatable. How often is is a guy we know well in the industry that ran digital it at Home Depot and then became a senior executive at eBay and he’s not the president at Macy’s. And so you know Michelle is is the latest in in this class and I’ll be really interesting to see what she does at Kohl’s which is. Particularly interesting Lee position so it’ll be another in some ways there like the department stores that are. Really struggling right now and are looking for some reinvention and in some ways they have some. Unique advantages around pricing and treasure hunting and you know things that have traditionally been hard to do digitally so it’s certainly going to be interesting to follow. Scot: [46:20] Did you see that article about so Walmart has this incubator called store number 8 and they’re working on some pretty cool stuff I figured you’d be work to speed on it than I am. Jason: [46:29] Yeah they they’ve name this incubator store 8 which is a based off of a Walmart store 8 which was the Prototype store and they are. Like both have a bunch of internal projects and are investing another projects. The they’ve announced a couple projects recently one that that is potentially a competitor to the Amazon go which. Will probably be talking soon as I have done a deep dive in the past will probably be talking about again the future because I I strongly suspect pretty soon that Amazon go stores going to open to the public. [47:05] Walmart store 8 his has announced a bunch a bunch of initiatives around VR so this one Katie Flanagan who runs that the incubator for Walmart. And she’s very bullish on the future of VR Commerce and so they they recently had a big guy with the Huffington Post and they should a bunch of. Of tech startups that are doing. You know there is interesting things with VR increasing when you with Walmart brand so they showed I got a mod clown cloth be our concept in. A bona bus VR concept and I have to say there’s a ton of interesting stuff coming out of the incubator I have great respect for the. The team at Walmart but I am not personally as a bullish on VR Commerce in the next couple years as it feels like they are I think it’s. You know it’s an interesting technology but like in many ways it’s it’s it’s to sort of awkward and intrusive. To really be a convenient shopping experience and you know most cases you know the shopping experiences that are winning are the ones that are lower friction than anything before. And you know throwing on all this awkward VR equipment to go shopping. Doesn’t feel super super exciting to me like if anything I’m I’m more optimistic on the sort of a our experiences than the VR experiences. [48:34] Why does minor people than me at Walmart so it’ll be interesting to see how that all plays out. [48:39] But you know predicting the future is exactly what we’re going to do on our next show so assertively TuneIn. 2 2 episode 1 12 or we’ll recap the Bold predictions we made from last year, Anna Scott and I will both share what we think are some of the surprising things that are going to happen in 2018. And with that I’m happy to report that it’s happening again we’ve used all our a lot of time. So we certainly appreciate all of our listeners sticking with us if you enjoy the show we’d love to get that 5 star review on iTunes weed encourage you to leave feedback on our Facebook page and continue the dialogue. Scot: [49:20] Thanks everyone for joining us and have a Happy New Year. Jason: [49:23] Until next time happy commercing!

At one time or another, all of us have based our self esteem on the labels sewn into our clothes. Member's Only. Izod. Abercrombie. Labels identify things—and people. We can choose to base our identity on the labels sewn into our jeans, what kind of car we drive, or where our house is located. But when we allow our stuff to define us, we don't experience the life that God wants us to experience. We don't experience satisfaction. Jesus knew this. That's why so much attention is placed on money and stuff. Jesus talked more about that topic than He did heaven, hell, prayer, or faith combined!

After last year's 70's indulgence with the Trash Disco series, Party Favorz is moving a decade forward. In typical fashion, I try to do something that's not so obvious, which better reflects who I was and what I was into by the end of the decade that was the 80's. I was a disco kid heading into high school and dabbled in Punk and New Wave but then quickly adjusted my tastes to fit in with the other kids. AC/DC (who I still love), Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Scorpions and on down the line fueled me. By the end of the decade, I was the preppy kid hanging with the cool kids dressed in black with earrings and eyeliner (much to the dismay of my parents) listening to the coolest music by New Order, Erasure, Depeche Mode, etc. and smoking a lot of pot while occasionally dropping acid. It's not a path I would recommend to anyone today but if I'm being real... It was the decade of Vans (which I had), OP (Ocean Pacific for the uninitiated), Levis 501 button fly jeans, Izod and really shitty (hideous) clothing from Oak Tree and the Limited; Just look at any Rick Astley video or even Depeche Mode and you'll understand. For the most part, I was a geek with good taste in music (or at least I like to think so). Truth is, I'm a musi-aholic. I enjoy almost all forms of music from the crude and crass (Dead Kennedys, Plasmatics) to the most commercial (Tiffany, Debbie Gibson). I can't really explain my tastes but they run the whole spectrum. These next three sets reflect a certain period of my life that I fondly remember. Many of today's artists are diving back into the pool for inspiration, so don't be surprised if something sounds all too familiar. Frankly, after working my magic, these songs have never sounded better. ENJOY!

OFFICIAL WEBSITE: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com PODCAST-This is Part One of a two part interview with Ray "Izod" Lubesky of the Iron Order Motorcycle Club. Izod was one of the founding members of the Iron Order MC, one of the "first eight", and the International President for many years.  We dive deep into everything you need to know about this club. The Iron Order claims to be a law abiding club and I can find no credible evidence to the contrary. The Iron Order MC is not a Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC) nor do they claim such. They do have law enforcement members along with many other walks of like. They don't claim criminal 1%er status and don't allow criminals in their club. Some in the law abiding biker world believe the Iron Order may be on the edge and have concerns about what they stand for and what they portray online. There are more risky images & activities online from this club compared to other law abiding biker clubs you see.  There are actual Facebook pages and other media that are dedicated to bashing the Iron Order MC and I don't see that with other law abiding biker clubs.  I ask the tough questions in this interview and Izod has some great answers that may just change your mind if you have any concerns. You will definitely want to listen in on both podcast episodes dedicated to this interview. You won't hear interviews like this on any other motorcycle/biker podcast out there. You've found the #1 listened to Biker Podcast in the world! The Iron Order is a very large international motorcycle club. Like all law abiding biker clubs should do, they refuse to follow the so called "Confederation of Clubs" (COC) unwritten rules, whom have no authority over free members of the motorcycling community. They have no authority over anyone unless you willfully let them control you. For the most part only the criminal biker community gives them any attention. Criminal bikers make up far less than 1% of all bikers/motorcyclists on the road. Because the Iron Order MC wears a three piece patch, is not an LE club, they are out there, they have many large club houses, and refuse to submit to ridiculous unwritten criminal biker code, they may draw extra attention from bashers in the criminal biker world that humorously think the motorcycling majority cares what they have to say. Don't forget, there are other large non LE clubs out there like the Iron Order in many ways. Don't ever be ruled by any unauthorized organization or body. Motorcycling is about freedom and that trumps on the very freedom of this great country and the open road. Part 2 of the interview (Episode #65) About the Iron Order MC (sent by Izod) The Iron Order MC was started by a few hardcore bikers in a garage on July 4, 2004. It is fitting that our club anniversary is celebrated on the same day as our great country's Independence Day since our club is totally independent and beholden to none, to follow our own destiny truly free from all other's rules and protocols. These bikers came from different backgrounds and walks of life. They had a desire to share brotherhood and socialize together as a group of men sharing a like mindset with an iron resolve to have a club of their own under no one's control or direction. That is how the IOMC was started and how it is today. This is the heritage of the IOMC. We refuse to be dictated to by anyone as to who we have as members, where we can have chapters, what we can wear, where we can go, or what we can do. We have learned many things about the MC world over the past years. We respect all clubs and support those that support us. We are independent and choose to mind our own business. We started that way and we continue that way. We run our club by the very same MC traditions established over 50 years ago by the motorcycle clubs. We are not 1%ers. We are not a HOG chapter or a riding club. We are a three piece patch MC. We have chapters in many states. We have a strong brotherhood between all chapters. We are independent therefore we do not belong to any associations. We have our own clubhouses, we have the same probationary and hang around traditions that MC's established many years ago and we stand together as brothers in our club. Those who ride with us, party with us, or know us, know we are bikers. Some have chosen a different road because we do not waiver from our core values. We ride, party and mind our own business. We do not create problems for our community or fellow bikers. We participate in charities that we feel benefit our communities and we support our own. We are veterans, active duty military, construction workers, truck drivers, businessmen, cops, Feds, cooks and any other occupation you can think of. We are about motorcycles, brotherhood and enjoying the biker lifestyle. Our own way by our own rules. We are what we say we are; nothing more or nothing less. If you are law abiding, desire strong brotherhood and riding a motorcycle is not a solo event, maybe we are for you. If you are looking for something other than what we stand for then we are not for you. We are constantly asked... What is the IOMC? Read everything on our website and on our chapter websites. Come by and meet us then you decide for yourself what the IOMC is and if we are for you. ______________________________________________________________   CHECK US OUT AND SUBSCRIBE:   Website: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com   Email & Voicemail: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/Contact   Phone Hotline: 509-731-3548   Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawAbidingBiker   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawabidingbiker        YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/scrappy587     Google Plus Page: https://plus.google.com/b/104041070580228657262/+Lawabidingbiker587   Instagram: http://instagram.com/lawabidingbiker     RSS: feed://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/feed   iTunes Direct Link to Podcast:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast/id622424087    Stitcher Radio: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast   TuneIn Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/Law-Abiding-Biker-p562288/

On today’s show World Footprints explores the plight of the endangered Panther, we chat with one of the rising IZOD Indycar stars Simona de Silvestro, and we also view Catholicism through the lens with Father Robert Barron.  As a special bonus, we added some sound bytes and interviews from the DC Stop Modern Slavery walk to end human trafficking. The Panther population has dramatically decreased but many efforts are being made to save this beautiful animal from extinction.  The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is at the forefront of the Panther conservation efforts and Park Ranger Sandy Mickey from the Florida Panther & Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuges joins us today to talk about some of these initiatives.  Then, we enjoyed a chat with one of the IZOD Indycar series rising stars, Simona de Silvestro.  Simona is one of a handful of female Indycar racers and she is one of the most prominent racecar drivers on the track.  She is the first woman in Atlantic Series history to have earned the most wins and pole positions, and the IZOD Indycar Rising Star Award.  Finally, we will talk to Father Robert Barron, the Francis Cardinal George Professor of Faith and Culture at Mundelein Seminary and a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago, about his PBS series Catholicism. This documentary illustrates the history and treasures of a global religion shared by more than one billion people around the world by exploring art, architecture, literature, music and all the riches of the Catholic tradition.

At one time or another, all of us have based our self esteem on the labels sewn into our clothes. Member's Only. Izod. Abercrombie. Labels identify things…and people. We can choose to base our identity on the labels sewn into our jeans, what kind of car we drive, or where our house is located. When we allow our stuff to define us, we don't experience the life that God wants us to experience. We don't experience satisfaction. Ecclesiastes 5:10. In that verse we read, “Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.” Jesus knew this. That's why so much attention is placed on money and stuff. Jesus talked more about that topic than He did heaven, hell, prayer, or faith combined!

Wow is all we can say WOW!!! If the Daytona 500 is anything like the Bud Shootout we are in for one hell of a race for sure. Draft pairs or the 200 MPH+ freight train? Women drivers and will they work in NASCAR. The importance of the Driver/Crew Chief communication and how it's way beyond simple words being transmitted. Daytona 500 predictions: action packed wreck wise or lead change wise? Any why is JP hearing a monkey? Is he completely losing his mind? Find out.

Interview with Graham Rahal

Following the Daytona 500 filled with holes here's a brand new edition of Turning Left with JP and Ricky. Re-surfacing of Daytona may negatively affect racing (Bristol *cough cough*) so what can NASCAR do? Danica Patrick's possible Sprint Cup debut. Speaking of Danica Patrick, enough already? Darrell Waltrip obviously thinks Danica Patrick is very hot. Speaking of Darrell Waltrip, Boogity Boogity Boogity!!....uhg!! What about JR's so called come back? We are not sure how long the next Sprint Cup race will be and neither does NASCAR. NHRA is discussed. John Forces' possible come back when he really didn't go away. ESPN's delayed coverage of the NHRA events causes a drastic loss of possible viewers/general broadcast of racing is discussed. As it gets later (1AM early Thursday morning) the Degeneration Radio JP comes out and the show goes completely off the rails as Turning Left turns into Degeneration Radio while still remaining a clean show...barely. Thanks for listening everyone. To e-mail the show: turningleftshow@live.com or http://www.twitter.com/turningleftshow We post shows once a week right here http://turningleft.podomatic.com and on iTunes by searching Turning Left.

This week JP and Ricky discuss qualifying for the Daytona 500 and top 5 picks for the races in the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series races this weekend. JP slips up and forgets what show he is on. We read your comments on twitter (http://www.twitter.com/turningleftshow) from the Bud Shootout. Danica Patrick's NASCAR debut and a lot more. E-mail your comments: turningleftshow@live.com or reply on twitter what is your top 5 prediction for the Daytona 500? Thanks for checking out the show and thanks for the comments!
