In this episode, host James Newcomb engages in a deep theological discussion with Orthodox Christian scholar Frederica Mathewes-Green covering various aspects of Christian theology. They delve into the differences between orthodox and Western Christian perspectives, particularly focusing on sin, forgiveness, and sacrifice. Frederica turns the tables on the host, asking James about his personal journey from Presbyterianism to Reformed theology and ultimately to Orthodoxy. James and Frederica also explore the stories and examples of saints, the interpretation of scriptures, and the contrasting images of the cross in Eastern and Western Christianity. The discussion is anchored by Frederica's book, 'Two Views of the Cross,' which contrasts critical theological views of Orthodoxy and Western Christianity.Episode highlights:00:00 Introduction: The Irony of Theological Studies01:02 Personal Journey: From Baptocostal to Reformed to Orthodox Christian01:36 A Quest for Stability03:14 The Reformation and Its Aftermath05:07 The Refrigerator Hermeneutic: Picking and Choosing Scripture07:07 John 6: The Challenge of Literal Interpretation08:10 The Story of St. Photini (the woman at the well)09:37 The Power of Stories in Faith10:46 Two Views of the Cross: A Book Discussion14:23 Orthodox vs. Western Christianity: Forgiveness and Sacrifice18:28 The Nature of Sin: Disease vs. Infraction24:03 The Harshness of Calvinism: A Tragic Misunderstanding27:59 The Importance of Forgiveness in Orthodoxy29:03 Conclusion: Reflecting on the DiscussionBook mentioned:Two Views of the Cross: Orthodoxy and the West by Frederica Mathewes-GreenAbout the guest:"I write and speak on a wide range of topics.

Recorded in November 2022, James Newcomb interviews Sarry Ibrahim, founder of thinkinglikabank.com, a website dedicated to educating the principles of sound money and living a life free from the overlords in the banking system.Sarry shares his background and journey into financial literacy, starting from a consumer economics class in high school to earning an MBA and gaining experience in big insurance companies. He discusses the major financial stressor for many Americans—the inability to miss one paycheck without financial strain—and emphasizes the importance of passive income.Sarry explains various passive income methods, such as limited partnerships in real estate and investing in dividend-paying stocks. He also advocates for private money lending as a way to generate income more autonomously. The discussion extends into the philosophy of 'thinking like a bank,' where individuals or families can use whole life insurance policies to finance their needs rather than relying on traditional banks. The importance of self-education in personal finance over traditional schooling is emphasized, promoting reading and podcast listening to understand practical financial strategies.The interview wraps up with Sarry offering personalized advice to an immigrant newcomer on building wealth through financial literacy and self-education.Episode highlights:00:46 Sarry's Background and Journey02:26 The Biggest Financial Stressor04:09 Strategies for Financial Independence06:03 Generating Passive Income09:15 Investing Wisely12:18 How to overcome financial woes by thinking like a bank19:07 Financial advice for a brand new American resident21:25 Conclusion and FarewellAbout the guest:Download a free copy of Thinking Like a BankSarry Ibrahim founded Financial Asset Protection after learning about the Infinite Banking Concept (also known as the Bank On Yourself Concept). He saw this as an opportunity to save retirement accounts, real estate properties, and businesses from market failures and other risks. Sarry believes the number 1 rule to your money is to make sure it lives somewhere safe and accessible.As Sarry states when working with clients “it is never an either/or situation, it is a both/and situation. We want you to integrate the solutions we recommend alongside your business and real estate portfolio to have a double-compounding effect on your money.”Sarry earned his MBA from Keller Graduate School of Management in Chicago, IL and has consulted companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Allstate Insurance, Humana, and Cigna Healthspring.

We have the great Chris Botti on the show today. I'm really excited about this one to both record and share it with you. On a whim I checked out Chris' website and happened to see that he was going to be in my neck of the woods, which these days is Virginia Beach, Virginia.This interview that you're about to hear is not like the definitive explanation of Chris's philosophy, his approach to technique and pedagogy, his full history as a trumpeter.I simply went on to some Facebook groups and just said, "Hey, I'm interviewing Chris Botti, what should I ask him?" A few people responded with some really good questions, and that's basically the meat and potatoes of the interview.Enjoy!What you'll hear in this episode:-Why Trumpet is Chris' "calling card" in this new music business...04:20-The paradigm shift of the music business explained from the perspective of one at the top...08:00-One door closes, another opens for the little guy...14:40-Chris' inspirations and influences as a trumpeter...19:45-Why record making and gigging need to be approached radically differently...26:00-Chris' recording and performing sound equipment...30:20-Chris' daily routine and maintenance of the chops while touring...36:15-Why Chris can't bear to part ways with his Martin Committee...37:30-Why Sergei Nakariakov rarely tours in the U.S....42:00-Reflections from host James Newcomb on the interview...44:55-Plus whatever your discerning ears deem worthy of your time and interest...Resources mentioned:Chris' websiteOther Side of the Bell podcast with Chris BottiAbout the Guest:GRAMMY-winning trumpeter Chris Botti has been one of the most popular instrumentalists in the world for nearly three decades; he's collaborated with some of the biggest superstars on the planet, including Sting, Paul Simon, Barbra Streisand, Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Bette Midler, Joni Mitchell, Steven Tyler, Andrea Bocelli, Herbie Hancock, Yo-Yo Ma, and others; he's topped the jazz charts with numerous albums, earned multiple Gold and Platinum records, performed with symphony orchestras and on prestigious stages from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House.In short, Chris Botti really needs no introduction. Yet with his Blue Note Records debut, he's offering one anyway. Vol.1 is in many ways a fresh start for the trumpeter. Having successfully crossed over from jazz renown to pop stardom, Botti's first album in more than a decade finds him crossing back, with a small group project focused on acoustic jazz and classic standards.“I turned 60 in 2022, at a time that seemed like a restart for so many things in the world,” Botti says. “I wanted to strip away all the orchestral arrangements and special guests and focus more on my playing, the playing of my band, and these jazz classics that we always love playing on stage.”While Botti could boast of the major names with whom he's shared stages, this project allows him to share his enthusiasm for the jazz greats past and present that excite him – his conversation is peppered with references to everyone from Miles Davis to Keith Jarrett to Pat Metheny to Brad Mehldau. He points to landmark albums like Davis' Kind of Blue, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, or Metheny's duo outing with Charlie Haden, Beyond the Missouri Sky as models for the kind of “lifestyle” music he set out to make – music that is exquisite on its own but can also set the scene for a coffee shop or hotel lounge, instantly generating a sophisticated...

I want to give a special thanks to previous podcast guest Del Lyren for introducing me to our guest today, Vinnie Ciesielski. Vinnie is a longtime stalwart of the Nashville music scene. His playing can be heard on countless recordings, commercials, soundtracks, symphony concerts, and the list goes on and on.Vinnie is also founder of a group called Vinnie And the Hitmen, of whom you can hear some samples on his website.In this episode, Vinnie talked a good deal about his founding origins as a trumpeter, and has some poignant insights into the importance of pop music, even for those of us who maybe have a tendency to thumb our noses at it while salivating over the likes of Mahler and Strauss.You've got be able to put food on the table at the end of the day, and sometimes mastering the art of pop music is what is necessary if you expect to put some of that food on the table with your musical skills.Our time went by so fast, which meant as usual we were just warming up to each other by the time we had to part ways. So we went ahead and scheduled another recording session! This Part 1 is great in many respects, and Part 2 is great as well, and deeply personal. So I highly recommend you listen to that one as well. Probably best to listen to them in order as you get to hear host and guest establish rapport before diving deep into the "why" of doing music, and how it relates to the deep needs within all of us.That's all I'll share about Part 2, for now enjoy Part 1!What you'll hear in this episode:-Ciesielski is spelled how it sounds...06:00-How to find your way into a local scene, and play what you really want to play...11:30-Vinnie's founding origins as a trumpeter...16:15-Good days and great days...19:00-A solid foundation on the mental element of trumpet playing...23:00-Pop music pays the bills...30:00-What we call "classical" music was at one time "pop" music...33:00-Why do we thumb our noses at "pop" music?...38:45-Movie soundtracks and classical music finding its niche in modern culture...42:00-The need for a pleasing personality in keeping the gig...48:00-There are no bad days; there are only good days and great days...53:00-Plus whatever your discerning ears deem worthy of your time and interest...Resources mentioned:Check out James Newcomb's new book: PinPoint PersuasionVinnie's websiteTrumpet Dynamics podcast with Paul Baron and Bobby MedinaTrumpet DiagnosticsAbout the Guest:Attending Towson University in Maryland, Vinnie Ciesielski majored in music performance on trumpet, which he has played professionally for over 50 years.Since coming to Nashville in 1992, Vinnie has played on thousands of recordings with artists such as Lyle Lovett, Travis Tritt, Tracy Byrd, Smokey Norful, Tanya Tucker, Glenn Frey, T.D.

The O'Leary Review Podcast Guest: James Newcomb December 10, 2022   We welcomed James Newcomb to the show. James is an internet marketer, podcaster, and keen trumpeter. Check out James: Ba Vojdaan! JNS Media (Sign up for his email newsletter) Podcast Artistry™ Trumpet Dynamics   “Always be serious. Never take yourself too seriously.” James referenced General Douglas MacArthur's speech to the cadets of the U.S. Military Academy from May 12, 1962. https://youtu.be/_42_aLGkRpg   Tom Woods School of Life James and I are both members. Go to https://tomschooloflife.com/ to get on the waiting list. I recommend joining the school.   John Birch Society James once worked for the perennially and unduly maligned John Birch Society. William F. Buckley, Jr., seen by a good many Americans over the last several decades as the paragon of American conservatism, was anything but that. Buckley and his magazine, National Review, were “purgers.” Over the course of National Review's history, the Buckleyites purged portions of the conservative movement for not falling in lock-step with the magazine's ideology. Ideology is an interesting topic when it comes to politics or political discourse. It is harmful. We could get into a long discussion on why ideology is so antithetical to moral order, but I shall just point you toward Brad Birzer's quick article “Russell Kirk on the Errors of Ideology.” Birzer wrote an extensive biography on Kirk, ironically one of the founders of National Review and who wrote for the magazine for years, but was then…purged. Kirk's reputation has been somewhat resuscitated by some over at NR in the nearly 3 decades since his passing, but his idea of conservatism is definitely at odds with the bunch who run the show over there at this stage. Here's a video of Birzer talking about his book, Russell Kirk: American Conservative. https://youtu.be/8kn9RdM6gks This is a long way of getting to the point that the John Birch Society was not on the “3 x 5 card of approved opinion” set forth by our cultural betters at the National Review, a magazine that has also purged other heroes of mine—namely Patrick J. Buchanan and Dr. Paul E. Gottfried—from their silly “movement” that has ceased to be “conservative.”   Tom Woods 100 Tom Woods—as far as I'm aware—coined the aforementioned “3x5 card of approved opinion” phrase. It is beautiful and explains so much about our world today. Tom is also a mentor to both James and me. Perhaps not so coincidentally, one of the goals of this program is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on the podcast. “Tom's orbit” is loosely defined, but in our case, James is number 10. Ninety to go! #TomWoods100   Ron Paul presidential campaigns We talk a little about the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns of Dr. Ron Paul. I did not mention the essay I contributed to a book called Voices of Revolution: Americans speak out for Ron Paul. The ebook now appears to be free at lulu.com. This book was put together for the 2012 campaign. There was a call to action on the Tom Woods Show for a writing contest of some sort, so I fashioned an essay and it ended up leading off the entire book (after the introductory essay by the editor). I encourage people to download it. My essay starts on page 17.   The publishing business James is in the publishing business. JNS Media Go to the site and sign up for his email newsletter.

We have another “all pro” group—all the actors in the scene are professionals, so the work has been so fun and rich! Our dramaturg Philippa said that she found it so mind-blowingly good how fully the actors and director jumped into this scene, that it's not something she usually experiences—and I don't think I could have said it better myself. In the scene today, Silvius tries in vain to get an answer from Phoebe regarding her love. Rosalind chides Phoebe about her treatment of Silvius and Phoebe ends up falling in love with “Ganymede” (which is, of course, Rosalind in disguise as a man). After Rosalind departs, Phoebe convinces Silvius to bring a letter to this Ganymede, and Silvius is delighted to do so.

Email addresses on scrap paper... Courier pigeons on wayward cargo ships... Mutual friends from the far corners of the earth... Must make for one heck of a love story, right? Well, it's interesting how our Father works things out in that way. Sometimes it's the way we would least expect it.

"The Story of the Trumpet, In the Words of Those Who Play It." Catchy tag line, if I do say so myself. But the individual we're hearing from on the show today is someone who can literally tell the story of the trumpet - at least a good portion of it. David Hickman is founder and president of the acclaimed Summit Brass, a large all-star American brass ensemble dubbed by the press as the "Dream Team of Brass." Summit Brass has released 10 CDs, toured the world, and hosted the annual Rafael Mendez Brass Institute which has helped thousands of aspiring brass musicians. He served as president of the International Trumpet Guild from 1977 to 1979 and has presented numerous lectures, clinics, masterclasses, and concerts at major international conventions. His services are sought worldwide as a judge for prestigious solo and chamber music competitions. Mr. Hickman recently received the International Trumpet Guild's prestigious Award of Merit. In this conversation with David Hickman, you'll discover:-How the lone music teacher in a small Nebraska town helped David foster his love of music...01:23-"If you can teach a boy to blow a horn, he'll never blow a safe"...09:16-The moment David knew trumpet would be his life's work...11:42-Trumpet Performance or bust...16:36-Why rural Kansas was the best possible place to begin a music performance career...21:34-Recollections and anecdotes of Rafael Mendez...26:08-Healthy and unhealthy competition for musicians...30:05-The story of the 5-valve trumpet...in the words of he who plays it...38:13-Why 3-valve trumpets may soon be a relic of days gone by...46:43-And much more!Episode sponsor:https://jamesnewcombontrumpet.com (James Newcomb's "Chew the Fat" Newsletter): If you like this podcast, consider joining my exclusive daily email newsletter, where I share personal anecdotes, stories, occasional business tips and much more.

Is there an area of specialization you want to talk about on the show? If we've discussed something specific, please mention it here.: I'm happy to discuss *almost* anything—but my focus is music, trumpet, performing methods and any related subjects. I have side experience in marketing and investing which inevitably influence my trumpet practice, as does my interest in science and it's crossroads with philosophy. Thich Nhat Hanh Here's what you'll hear in my conversation with Chris:------------Credits: Trumpet Dynamics: The Story of the Trumpet, In the Words of Those Who Play It Host: James Newcomb Guest: Chris Coletti Opening music: "Folklore" by https://bigbigtrain.com (Big Big Train) Closing music: "Creepin' With Clark" written and performed by Mike Vax Audio editing by: James Newcomb Show notes prepared by: James Newcomb

I came to know of Abel James working on one of my podcast clients, Ben Greenfield. And then what really made me pull the trigger on contacting Abel myself was he was on another podcast that we service called Superhumanize with Ariane Sommer. And it turns out that Abel is actually pretty well-versed in the realm of music, he's actually the author of a book titled The Musical Brain and it's a kind of an academic look into how music affects the brain and host of a very popular podcast called The Fat Burning Man show. Abel and I chewed the fat so to speak (pun intended) and I think you'll dig this show. In this episode, you'll hear:-How Abel got into music...02:40 -About The Musical Brain book...07:45 -Why there's no such thing as a 4-hour workweek...13:40 -Business is like being a shark...18:10 -How Abel chose the name "Fat Burning Man" for his show...24:30 -Designer babies are not immune to getting scabies...28:55 We mentioned the https://jamesnewcombontrumpet.com/captivate-podcast/vacchiano/ (Trumpet Dynamics podcast on William Vacchiano) And Abel's books: https://amzn.to/3d3ICGV (The Musical Brain) https://amzn.to/3qhWUt0 (Designer Babies Still Get Scabies) Check out Abel's podcast, https://fatburningman.com (Fat Burning Man) Credits: Trumpet Dynamics: The Story of the Trumpet, In the Words of Those Who Play It Host: James Newcomb Guest: Abel James Opening music: "Folklore" by https://bigbigtrain.com (Big Big Train) Closing music: "Creepin' With Clark" written and performed by Mike Vax Audio editing by: James Newcomb Show notes prepared by: James Newcomb  

I've been following Marc for the longest time. He's one of the most consistent entrepreneurs I know of in the online space. And although he's the first to admit he "doesn't know a lick of music," I couldn't resist the opportunity to nab him for an interview when he said he was looking for podcasts to be on. Marc has made his bones coaching businesspeople for around 10 years, and runs a successful business teaching other coaches how to build their own coaching businesses. Think he might know a thing or two that would be helpful to us? I dare say he does. In this brief conversation with Marc, you'll hear:-How Marc got into the business of coaching coaches...02:12 -How someone can qualify themselves to be a coach with such a low barrier to entry...05:00 -Take one opportunity and run with it...08:45 -How to identify the 3 pillars to one's business...11:12 -Why you don't need to be everywhere, and all things to all people...17:45 -And much more! https://amzn.to/3xtTC8d (Coactive Coaching) book Marc mentions Credits: Trumpet Dynamics: The Story of the Trumpet, In the Words of Those Who Play It Host: James Newcomb Guest: https://naturalborncoaches.com (Marc Mawhinney) Opening music: "Folklore" by https://bigbigtrain.com (Big Big Train) Closing music: "Creepin' With Clark" written and performed by Mike Vax Audio editing by: James Newcomb Show notes prepared by: James Newcomb

This show started in 2016, and after a few years of vacillating in its consistency, it's here for the long haul. I'm sharing a bit of the backstory into what caused that to occur, as well as some of the principles that made me decide to commit to this show on a far more permanent basis. A few salient points from what you'll hear: -The riches are in the niches...00:54 -We meet Basmati, "executive secretary to James Newcomb...06:45 -On the brink of retirement from trumpet...11:45 -The important distinction between being a trumpeter w/ a podcast, vs. a podcaster who plays trumpet...16:45 -No matter the topic, the show is always about the music, and the trumpet...20:55 Show notes: Briefly discuss bringing politics into the episodes. It's not to advance a political agenda The agenda is always to share info that's important/interesting/entertaining for trumpeters and musicians In so doing, when politics is discussed, we may stray a bit into sharing out own opinions; but that's not why we are discussing it Imagery of tether ball; may stray into certain areas, but will stay "tethered" to the mission of the show Mindset tweak: Trumpeter first, podcaster second Musicpreneur concept A trumpeter who has a podcast; make James Newcomb the center of the brand, not a podcast Ikigai: Playing trumpet, having the podcast, isn't the purpose; it's the means of achieving the purpose Credits: Host: James Newcomb Guest: Basmati Bhattachadya, Supreme Executive Secretary to James Newcomb Opening and closing music: "Creepin' With Clark" written and performed by Mike Vax and Clark Terry

I'm sure you have not heard the name Preston Bailey.Although if you've been on Trumpet Herald recently, like I have, snooping around on gossip columns and ogling over instruments that you have no business looking at, but you look up at them anyway, because that's what we do. Well I saw a really slick looking ad for https://thebeardedtrumpet.com/ (The Bearded Trumpet). I thought, man, this guy looks like he knows how to have fun with what he's doing. And that's just the way to do it. If you're not having fun doing what you're doing, then why do it? Well, he's been doing it for quite a while and if you listen to some of the clips that he has on his website, you can hear the guy knows his way around a horn. Now we get to chew the fat with Preston Bailey for just a little while. Enjoy! In this conversation with Preston, you'll discover:-How did you get started on trumpet?...01:41Jeff Bailey is longtime principal player w/ Nashville Symphony "Didn't know it was possible to fail" -What was the objective when you decided to make it a career?...12:00-A fail-proof orchestra audition prep strategy...16:00-Life as a pro musician in Music City...22:40"It's not just country music!"

Steve Baker was among the sector of society most affected by the covid pandemic: the live entertainment industry. You don't do wedding receptions via Zoom, right? So when everything shut down, he was hit hard, and was forced to adjust fire, as they say. In this episode, Steve will share how the lockdowns affected him, and how he changed his priorities - and even discovered a calling in life he may not have heard without it. Says host James Newcomb: "Steve is a dynamic performer, terrific trumpet player, great singer, just a terrific stage presence and it was just a treat to share the stage with him for a short time when I lived in the Raleigh/Durham area. I learned a lot about being a showman and seeing the value of entertainment and knowing how to carry a crowd. And if I were to really examine my own music or my podcasting career, I would say that I've learned a lot or I've applied a lot of the things that I learned from him while with the Bull City Syndicate there in Raleigh and Durham." In this conversation with Steve, you'll hear:-The initial reaction to the pandemic and lockdowns...05:32-The toughest thing to deal with regarding the lockdowns...12:43-A contrarian view to the virus and the government's reaction to it...17:46-Worshipping at the First Church of Covid...23:05-How our resilience and response to adversity changes as we age...30:51-How others within Steve's world have responded to the pandemic...46:15-The true story of how Steve got "fact-checked" by a Hollywood gossip columnist...55:40http://jamesnewcombontrumpet.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Steve-Baker.pdf (Click here to download the transcript for the episode) Resources mentioned:-https://bullcitysyndicate.com/home (Bull City Syndicate) -http://thepragmaticconstitutionalist.com (The Pragmatic Constitutionalist website) -https://jamesnewcombontrumpet.com/captivate-podcast/elizabeth-peroutka/ (Trumpet Dynamics podcast w/ Beth Peroutka) Credits:Trumpet Dynamics: The Story of the Trumpet, In the Words of Those Who Play It Host: James Newcomb Guest: Steve Baker Opening music: "Folklore" by https://bigbigtrain.com (Big Big Train) Closing music: "Creepin' With Clark" written and performed by Mike Vax Audio editing by: James Newcomb Show notes prepared by: James Newcomb

Hi, this is James Newcomb and I'm excited to republish an episode of the show from way back in February of 2016. This was one of the best received, one of the most downloaded episodes of the first year of the podcast, 2016. To this day, it's one of my top highlights of my podcasting career. And at that time I think I realized I'm onto something really special, to talk to people who held someone like William Vacchiano in such high esteem. And it was just a real honor to be a part of it. I think it led to me wanting to take podcasting seriously and make it my career. In this biography style episode, you're going to hear Brian Shook, who is the author of https://amzn.to/3oVMnCY (Last Stop, Carnegie Hall). It also features Manny Laureano, Ronald Romm, and finally Gerard Schwartz. It also features a couple of guests we may or may not hear from in the future... In this episode, you'll hear:-We meet Don Clarino, founder of the Genco Valve Oil company, patriarch of the Clarino crime family...00:33"...Then I said to my wife, 'for justice, we must go to Don Clarino...'" -Vacchiano's view of the trumpeter's role in the bigger picture...09:45"You're a musician first, the trumpet is how you express the music." -Vacchiano was supposed to play the clarinet...12:00-"Aside from your tone, your rhythm, your articulation, not bad..." Gerard Schwarz' first lesson w/ Mr. Vacchiano...14:50He got me to play and sound the he wanted - and the way I wanted -Miles Davis and Vacchiano like oil and water...17:30"The horn goes back into the case," said Miles when quizzed on a tricky transposition situation -(Gerard Schwarz) Why Mr. Vacchiano never attended concerts put on by his students...20:37"Gerry, I had no idea you could play like that!" -(Manny Laureano) A style of teaching designed to make the student become their own teacher...24:05-How to study with Vacchiano if you didn't go to Juilliard...25:38-(Ron Romm) "Vacchiano was all about getting it done..."...28:07"Is the fan too loud? Do you want it closer to you?" -Knowing how to keep the ego in check, going to bat for your guys...31:17-(Ronald Romm) Not trying to be a leader, just doing what is necessary to get the job done...35:15"He was not a ball hog" "Everything he taught us was from a leadership position" -What Brian Shook was looking for when he began his research, and how that changed over time...45:15-The one thing young players today can learn from Vacchiano's methods...49:11http://jamesnewcombontrumpet.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Vacchiano-Transcript.pdf (Click here to download a written transcript of this episode) Resources mentioned in this episode:-http://williamvacchiano.com (williamvacchiano.com) -https://amzn.to/3oVMnCY (Last Stop, Carnegie Hall) by Brian Shook -https://mannylaureano.com (Manny Laureano's personal blog) -https://www.rommtrio.com (Ron Romm's family trio) -https://www.gerardschwarz.com (Gerard Schwarz website) Credits:Trumpet Dynamics: The Story of the Trumpet, In the Words of Those Who Play It "It's Always About the Music": William Vacchiano Remembered by (a few of) Those Who Knew Him Best Originally published: 1 February 2016 Republished: 31 May 2021 Host: James Newcomb Guests: Brian Shook: Author, https://amzn.to/3oVMnCY (Last Stop, Carnegie Hall) Manny Laureano: Principal trumpet, http://mnorch.org (Minnesota Orchestra) Ronald Romm: Founding member, http://canadianbrass.com (Canadian Brass) Gerard Schwarz: Former trumpeter; longtime music director, http://seattlesymphony.org (Seattle Symphony) "For Justice, We Must Go to Don Clarino": Written by James Newcomb Performed by James Newcomb and "Destill" username on fiverr.com Audio editing and show notes for this episode done by James Newcomb For a full service podcast production option, visit https://committedmedia.org/podcast-artistry/ (podcastartistry.com) Copyright 2021 James Newcomb and Committed Media, LLC

"Your sushi is terrible!" said Gabriel, 6, to his father, James Newcomb. So it goes in James' rented apartment on the oceanfront of Virginia Beach, VA while he awaits the arrival of his wife Shafieh (Sana) Dorry when her visa to reside in the United States is approved by the State Department. The recent failed attempt at making sushi is the latest in a string of culinary mishaps which has befallen James and Gabriel. Police reports reveal responses to complaints of burnt blueberry pancakes, overdone turkey bacon, and meat in a spaghetti sauce with the texture of an Adidas running sneaker. Sana's arrival in the U.S. will be most welcome, not only to bring a degree of competence into the kitchen, but to finally unite a young child and his stepmother, with whom he has corresponded only via video chat since March 2019. When this podcast went to press, James was seen poring over a Betty Crocker™ cookbook planning dinner.

Floris Onstwedder is a trumpet soloist based in The Netherlands and Switzerland. In normal circumstances, he plays the finest concert halls in the world with his stunning virtuosity and lyricism on the trumpet.

If you are renting space you still need to calculate your estimated per hour rate. If you pay $1500.00/mo(power,rent,gas) break it down to per day then estimate how many hours you work in a day and use that number as a base calculation. $1500.00/month (30-day month) is approx $50.00/day (per hour in a 10-hr day) $5.00/hr (gases,power,rent) If you can make 10-$5.00 3" wrap spoons per hour your estimated cost per hour is $10.00/hr (power,rent,gas) $5.00+(material x's 10-hr) $5.00= $10.00/hr. to manufacture 10-$5.00 spoons Net-$50.00(10-$5.00 3" w/r)-$10.00(cost to manufacture)= Gross approx $40.00/hr. In a 8 hr day do the math You can see just by getting a good base line down for estimating your cost to manufacture you have the ability to make anywhere from $30-60.00/hr gross profit Gross= income Net =income-cost to manufacture =profit Now take 15% of your gross and put that aside for TAXES !!!!    

"This too shall pass" is a powerful quote we hear when going through a storm in life. Our guest today is in the middle of one and instead of postponing the interview, he shared with us from a place of vulnerability and truth. What do you do when you feel like a failure? How do you move forward? James shares his walk through these questions and the balance between waiting and taking action. We will dive deep into the mindset of overcoming the paralyzing effects of feeling like a  failure and how to move forward to embrace a mindset that we are wyred to win? Some topics that we will cover are: Divorce, starting a podcast, wisdom form interviewing many musicians and successful artists and more. Check out the entire interview above or on your favorite podcast app. James Newcomb is a father, musician, podcaster, and entrepreneur. Jame's Morning Routine Turns on the light and burner to make his Kion coffee Counts to 300 while waiting for the water to boil Makes coffee in a french press and opens up the Bible Reads bible gateway on the app on his phone. He reads the featured scripture and the whole chapter. He then reads the Tora followed by the Proverb. He reads from a success type book Walks on the beach when the sun is out or exercises By 8:00 he is ready to go and gives himself the first and best hour of the day to devote to his business Edits and produces podcasts for most to the day Practices  When his son is home he exercises indoors and sometimes with his son sitting on his back as a weight as he does pushups. They plank together.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 217. This is Episode 14 of the MusicPreneur podcast, "Intellectual Property is the Bastard Child of the Gatekeepers," run by host James Newcomb. I appeared on his previous podcast, Outside the Music Box, a while back. This one is a fresh, stand-alone discussion where I lay out the case against IP fairly methodically.

Download stephankinsella.com You're probably going to disagree with what is said in this episode. In fact, it could very well make you angry. But, as Bob Dylan said, "The times, they are a changin'." It's an issue that I've wrestled with over the years and have finally come to the conclusion that Intellectual Property (IP) is detrimental to progress and innovation. While on the surface it appears to protect the rights of content creators to profit from their content, the reality is that the only people who really profit are the "gate keepers" and those who hang out near "the gates". I've tried to take a "back door" approach with this issue before, thinking that people would somehow be persuaded to see my point of view without actually telling them my point of view. Not surprisingly, the results of that approach weren't encouraging. I've decided to just come right out and say it. Intellectual Property is Horrible The fact of the matter is that just about every way of thinking that was considered set in stone a short time ago is suddenly up for debate once again. What are the origins of IP? How did it become de facto conventional knowledge in modern society? Is it really the only legalized monopoly in existence? Enter my guest for this episode, Stephan Kinsella. He's been a patent attorney in Houston, TX for nearly 30 years. He's the author of Against Intellectual Property as well as a pamphlet titled, Doing Business Without Intellectual Property.  In this discussion, we discuss why intellectual property (IP) is a hindrance to progress and innovation for musicians, and how MusicPreneur's can navigate the oftentimes confusing waters of IP.

This is an inside baseball episode for sure. I love talking podcasting, whether its talking interview techniques or my biggest podcasting mistakes.  I also love talking with other podcasters about the nitty-gritty details concerning their craft. That's today's conversation with James Newcomb: a no-holds-barred geek-out on all things podcasting. James is the host of the MusicPreneur and Trumpet Dynamics podcasts.  Like me, he has made podcasting the core of his business, and he's doing it in really interesting ways. We talk about: providing value to listeners coming up with new ideas figuring out the "next step" as a solo entrepreneur why he chose to podcast his experiences working with EOFire host John Lee Dumas where he sees his MusicPreneur podcast heading This was a super-fun conversation, and if you want a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of podcasting, this is the perfect episode for you!
