Jacob Moon spent 28 years as a corrections officer in one of Florida's huge county jails. Much of that time was spent supervising psychiatric inmates. So, it's not surprising that the villain of his latest novel, Letter 26, is a psychopathic serial killer who augments kidnapping and murder with mortuary skills. Jake's love of writing came early in life and began with short stories about all kinds of subjects, some of which were published. Today, he is enjoying the freedom to write novels and has three to his name. Letter 26 is an engrossing crime story that just one a Maxy Award for suspense/horror, a contest for self-published authors named for a little girl who died of the rare congenital disease Lissencephaly.Jake and I talk about writing, inspiration and mental illness in the prison system in this episode of Type.

Featuring:-Jacob Moon, cofounder and GM, Salt Lake City, Method Communications“It starts at the top. David has been very transparent about sharing personal things [and his lead has set a great tone for us].” Those words are shared by Method Communications cofounder Jacob Moon about his agency's CEO and other cofounder David Parkinson.The Salt Lake City, Utah-headquartered firm's selection as a Best Place to Work in PR is notably based on not only the level of transparency from leadership exemplified by Parkinson, but an impressive and easily recognizable commitment to the holistic well-being of all team members.As Moon continues his chat with Gideon Fidelzeid, PRWeek editorial director of custom, it becomes clear that Method is an agency that prioritizes its employees above all else.Based on staff responses to the PRWeek survey upon which the honorees were determined, programs such as Method Matters More and Method Anywhere really make a difference. The latter, in particular, helps explain why the firm scored so well for “being flexible to the point of allowing each employee to have an individualized work arrangement that works best for them (as opposed to mandating one policy for all)”.Another area in which Method scored very well was its mentoring programs. Moon explains how his firm focuses on this – and he does so with great pride. That is a sentiment his team clearly shares about the agency that employs them.

In our final in person service for the year we light the fourth advent candle: the candle of love, sing Christmas Carols and Sheila Thomson shares Part 2 of our Christmas series Light in the Darkness. Jacob Moon also performs his original song Emmanuel.

EPISODE 47 - Director of Operations for Earth Wise Architectural Salvage - Aaron Blanchard joins us from Seattle, WA on this episode of The UpCycle Canada Podcast!Aaron braves the Tacoma to Seattle commute daily to help salvage, merchandise, and keep things on track.RESPECT THE PAST - SUSTAIN THE FUTUREAs a demolition contractor, Kurt was in charge of demolishing houses and buildings.  While preparing for demolition, he'd walk through the buildings and notice all of the beautiful architectural pieces, hardware, and lighting that was going to be crunched with the house and sent to the landfill. He decided to strip these pieces from the homes and save them for future projects. He stored these items in his garage and held small sales.  As these sales became more frequent people started to call him looking for specific items. In 1991 Earthwise was officially born. We set up shop in the SoDo district of Seattle.  In July 2014 we opened our second location in East Tacoma at a vintage sawmill. It is at this location where we mill our vintage beams into all the re-milled lumber you can find at the stores. Earthwise opened our third location in Aberdeen WA in July 2018. We are excited to be offering our salvage services and reclaimed materials all along Western Washington.https://ewsalvage.com/___For more about our business please visithttps://upcyclecanada.ca/Podcast created by True Media SolutionsHave a podcast and need a great website?

But often every resource is drained just paying first and last month's rent and utility deposits. It is very difficult to get up in the morning and look for work or go to school if you've been sleeping on the floor. Poverty is very isolating. But with a couch and coffee table and a lamp in the living room, children will invite their friends over to play. With a kitchen table and chairs a friend can be invited to share a meal and meaningful conversations may take place.

EPISODE 36 - in this episode, we speak with Scott Anderson from Chop Value - Toronto East!  Chop Value collects used chopsticks from area restaurants and repurposes these "disposable" items and recreates amazing creations in the process!Chop Value is a urban harvest used chopsticks. Our resource is what others may view as waste - that means we don't take virgin materials from our environment. Every chopstick is perfect, slender, and defect-free, making them ideal to develop an innovative engineered material.  When designing products, our mindset has been circularity and longevity. This allows us to minimize our environmental impact while creating sustainable solutions engineered to last.We intend to make a differenceWe are completely transparent with our efforts to leave a climate positivefootprint throughout our entire process.Our hope is to help you make more conscious decisions by sharing how wesource our materials, how we process them, and what you can do with yourproducts' end of life. Join us in making the circular economy the new norm.Founder's note: Why I dream about chopsticks. Not too long ago, I tried to apply my wood engineering and stereotypical “German efficiency thinking” (not my quote) totackle the wood and construction waste in Vancouver, Canada. A seminar that presented the research results and potential industry know-how for value-added materials, unfortunately,did not resonate much with industry leaders. It was frustrating, but at the same time eye-opening.I realized that in order to prove sustainable business concepts that rely on under-utilized resource supply, there must be thought leaders who show its viability. It had to be interesting, something easy to comprehend, and something that elicits emotions towards the problem of linear economy and our vast amount of waste. I would need to develop a process that creates innovative, highly value-added, and appealing products from a relatable resource.And that is how Chop Value was born.Fast forward 10 million chopsticks - we have presented our Microfactory concept in more than 10 countries, with media covered in more than 35. For me, we've moved beyond proving that we have built a viable, carbon-negative manufacturing business out of discarded chopsticks, and now it's time to expand this concept globally.Our story resonates with people. We believe that we have the responsibility to educate, inspire, and set an example that resource efficiency thinking should simply be the norm.- Felix BöckChop Value - Toronto EastChop Value - main siteFor more about our business please visithttps://upcyclecanada.ca/Podcast created by True Media SolutionsThank you to Jacob Moon for creating our Podcast Soundtrack - please visit www.JacobMoon.com We don't have ads in our podcasts, but it doesn't mean that we don't like making them!Wilbur's Horses R Us is here for you!And don't forget - Don't squat with yer spurs on!Support the show

EPISODE 31 - Happy Earth Day!  Super thrilled to  share this episode with you!  We have the creator and host of the new Documentary Movie - Scrap.  Ten years in the making, 4 years of filming, travel, zoom calls and many hours of effort has resulted in a movie that brings to light the amazing salvaging, upcycling and restoration efforts to divert items from the landfill!  We sit down with the writer, director and producer - Stacey Tenenbaum and get some of the behind the scenes access to the process and the result of her movie!The Industrial Age left us with refuse too vast to bury and impossible to ignore. Earth's resources are finite, yet after serving their short-lived purpose, our cars, appliances and electronics takes centuries to decay. These rusting skeletal remains, especially machines that shaped the landscape and our ability to move within it, are valued objects for those willing to reclaim them. A South Dakota farmer transforms oxidized agricultural machinery into beautiful sculptures that reflect the natural world, while across the ocean, British phone booths are painstakingly restored to their former glory. Whether it be living in abandoned aircraft husks on Bangkok's outskirts or transforming freighter ships into architectural wonders, the human capacity to revitalize obsolete artifacts is inspiring. Beneath the rust and flaking paint of these sensitive vignettes is the scale of its subject matter. Soaring aerial images immerse us in post-apocalyptic landscapes that restore faith in a "waste not, want not" world. Alexander RogalskiScrap has partnered with CNIB's Phone It Forward program for their screenings and encourages audiences to donate eligible older cell phones at the theatre.

EPISODE 25  Hi! I'm Anik, the artist and owner behind Do Re Mi Bracelets etc. located in Gatineau QC, Canada.My passion is reclaiming discarded instrument strings (guitar, piano, violin, etc.) and upcycling them into beautiful jewelry and gifts.I am a woman, an LGBTQ ally, the wife of a Metis man, a French Canadian and more!Core values for me in my business are respect, authenticity, inclusiveness and working in as eco-friendly a way as I can.I don't know if you're a musician like me, but one thing I know for sure is that you know a musician or two.Everyone knows a musician!!When you start to think about how many varieties of stringed instruments that exist in the world, you can only imagine the TONS of waste created in landfills when the broken and discarded strings are thrown away. That's where I saw an opportunity to do my part in helping Mother Nature, one string at a time.But as someone who likes to think outside the box, making the same boring thing, is not my style. I love making unique and creative designs. But if, like me, attention to detail is important to you, in my shop you will find a REFINED TAKE ON RECLAIMED.Do you have a guitar pick from your favourite musician? Do you have strings from your son, mother, partner, or husband's musical instrument? Do you have a special musician who passed away? I can create a keepsake item that is truly personal by using their strings or parts of their instrument. I will treat all the materials received, with extreme respect in the creation of this special item.Having the opportunity to hear the stories from my customers. Hearing about the music and the musicians who touched their lives is a true pleasure. Being able to honour those memories is a privilege.I would love to have the opportunity to work with you and to create something that helps connect you to the music and the memories that you cherish.You have questions or concerns about a purchase?You would like to talk to me about a possible custom order?You have something else that you would like to discuss?https://doremibraceletsetc.ca/For more about our business please visithttps://upcyclecanada.ca/Podcast created by True Media SolutionsThank you to Jacob Moon for creating our Podcast Soundtrack - please visit www.JacobMoon.com Support the show

EPISODE 22Dave and Jen welcome Alex Morgan - creator of the unique app, EcoRate - an app that allows you to find, rate and review local cafes in your community rewarding cafes that are actively doing business in a way that promotes eco-friendly, earth friendly practices!EcoRateMissionEmpower people to reduce consumer waste using actionable community-driven data.ProblemClimate change is one of the greatest challenges we face today. The irresponsible way we consume products leads to heaps of unnecessary waste. In addition to the environmental fallout, unsustainable habits often also lead to higher costs for consumers and businesses, and lower-quality products. Many people want to make environmentally sound decisions but lack the information and community support they need to do so.SolutionEcoRate puts the right information and research at people's fingertips so they can make environmentally informed decisions effortlessly. As this gradually guides more consumers to the most eco-friendly businesses it will incentivize the right behaviors, and support businesses that make sustainable decisions.CommunityWe are a community of people dedicated to improving the sustainability of our everyday choices. You are a part of this community and every search you do and review you submit is a step in the right direction and amplifies the impact of your actions. We're so grateful for your participation!How it WorksSo how does this all work? When you want to go to a cafe, search for it here and we'll show you how environmentally friendly your cafe options are. Our ratings are an estimate of how successful each cafe is at eliminating the use of unnecessary packaging and other material waste. While you're at the cafe, you can leave a review that we'll use to further refine the cafe's rating. Our reviews consist of a small set of specific questions about how your order was served and the general practices at the cafe. This gives our rating system an objective basis. You'll also have fun along the way, so join our community today!Ratings & ReviewsWe process reviews from our community to make an estimate of how eco-friendly cafes' consumer-facing practices are. For example, does a cafe primarily serve drinks in reusable mugs or disposable cups, and do they allow customers bring a thermos? To turn reviews into a rating out of 5, we apply estimates for the environmental cost of producing, cleaning, and disposing of heavily used items. We continually update our environmental cost model as new research becomes available.ImpactWe broadcast your reviews to the whole community, empowering you to have an impact well beyond making your own consumption sustainable. We'll know we succeeded together when the least environmentally responsible cafe chains realize that they need their sustainability-minded clientele, and improve their ways to get us back!App LinksEcoRate is available as iOS and Android apps, and also as a website. Here are all those links:iOS App:  EcoRate for iOS Android App:  EcoRate for Android Website:  ecorate.eco For more about our business please visithttps://upcyclecanada.ca/Podcast created by True Media SolutionsThank you to Jacob Moon for creating our Podcast Soundtrack - please visit Support the show

Fabrics are also diverted from landfills, giving them a fresh lease on life. At the outset of the pandemic, I was at a loss regarding how to procure things needed to comfort a newborn baby, while also attempting to meet the demands of a developing toddler.  Then it dawned on me; I could use garments from around the house that have been outgrown and worn out!  Despite my postpartum challenges, I was motivated when I came up with the concept of crafting products out of upcycled textilesWe invite you to have a look around and discover what has been created! Be inspired!  Hear how Samantha battled through some pretty dark days, hear the joy in her heart as she shares her journey, finding her passion and how she makes a difference in this world upcycling materials from the landfill!  Samantha's products are gorgeous!  YOU WILL BE INSPIRED!  Interested in what she does?  Want to join forces or start your own business?  Learn from Samantha - a great episode awaits for you, right here - on The UpCycle Canada PodcastEpisode Links:https://www.junebird.ca/Email:  hello@junebird.caInstagram : Junebird.caFacebook: Junebird.caThis is the link to the pre-loved children's clothing store where I typically get my materials: www.lode.to This is the link to the business coach that I follow and have attended several bootcamps https://deirdretshien.com/This is the business coach's FB group.  She has tons of free content and typically has a live video every Tuesday. https://m.facebook.com/groups/theremarkableentrepreneurThis is the link to software, developed by Deidre, to help create captions and emails.  I subscribe to this software, and it is a great time saver for email newsletters and social media captions.  https://capsho.com/For more about our business please visithttps://upcyclecanada.ca/Podcast created by True Media SolutionsThank you to Jacob Moon for creating our Podcast Soundtrack - please visit www.JacobMoon.com Support the show

This week we take a break from our sermon series on the book of 1 John to hear an inspiring testimony on how God answered the prayer of Jacob and Allison Moon to have children. The road God took them on was not easy, but He showed himself faithful.

Jacob Moon has an interesting backstory.  Until about year ago, he was a full time nurse.  He spent his days off exploring the mountains and taking incredible landscape images that he mostly kept to himself until a friend prompted him to post them to Instagram and the rest is history.  Fast forward about a year, he's now a full time photographer, adventurer, and a family man.   I contacted Jacob to ask about an image he posted of his baby sleeping in a tent above an incredible landscape.  He and his wife have found a way to integrate their baby into their active outdoor lifestyles and I wanted to learn more about it.  I learned this and so much more. Jacob Moon loves the mountains.  He conveys his love for the outdoors through his images and I personally think they're incredible.  Where words aren't enough, Jacob captures an image.   By the end of this episode, you'll learn what makes Jacob tick, how he manages risk in the mountains, how he learned to backpack with a baby, and a great tip on taking landscape images.  You're going to love it!

Jacob talks today about Rush and music, “live looping”, why the hands are often like jokers to him, the difference between gifting and practice and why he has fosterd a heart for social justice. Biography Jacob Moon considers himself first and foremost to be a singer-songwriter. The songs he has written have gone on to win awards in International Song Competitions (Unisong, Great Lakes Song Contest, West Coast Songwriters, GMA Canada). His songwriting heroes include Jackson Browne, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Peter Gabriel and Rich Mullins, and Moon's timeless and eclectic style can be compared to those artists, among others. Likewise, his music is hard to pigeonhole, and Moon is okay with that. "My music is borne from all the listening I've done over the years, and I listen to a lot of different music. In a way it makes sense that what comes out would be a mash-up of all those different influences, and tough to pin a style on", Moon says. Though not exactly born with a guitar in his hands, Moon's own father had a 12-string Gibson that made an impression early on. "It just had this huge sound-- it sounded like an orchestra to me", Moon says. That would prove instructive as he approached learning the acoustic guitar in his early teens. "My musical influences at that time were bands like Yes, Rush and Marillion, so I was trying to figure out how to make the guitar sound as big as I knew it could sound from hearing those guys". Once Moon had completed his musical training at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo,ON, he began recording and trying to find as many gigs as he could to stay alive. Realizing that he needed something that would set him apart from other performers, Moon began experimenting with 'live looping' technology--a foot-pedal that triggers the instantaneous recording of his guitar while he's playing live. This gave Moon a whole new palette to paint with musically, and he has gone on to be one of the leading Loopers on the scene. His popular live-looping music videos on YouTube recently gained attention on a national level, when rock legends Rush asked Moon to perform at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala. Geddy, Neil and Alex insisted that Moon to be there to play 'Subdivisions', which he performed on a Hamilton rooftop in his 2008 video (now at over 350, 000 hits). His performance was immediately followed by a standing ovation from his heroes, and that one night has led to some exciting new touring opportunities.Rush drummer Neil Peart had this to say about Jacob: "We all shared Jacob Moon’sperformance of Subdivisions quite a long time ago and sent it to each other, ‘Hey have you seen this?’ because it’s such a beautiful cover. The imaginative way that he uses the little cassette player to get my voice in there. It’s superb. And it is that kind of song. It’s a singer/songwriter’s song. I loved to see his version of it and I loved the idea that song has endured to his generation.” Check out his website is here. Check out his Rush approved version of Subdivisions here.
