While not his first appearance on the Plein Air Easton Podcast, it is the first time we sat down with John Brandon Sills in the podcast studio for a proper interview. Tim and Marie dive deeper into John's artistic philosophy, how he developed it, and discuss the Renaissance Award he won this year and what it means to him. "John paints nature in all its forms, choosing to emphasize those aspects that create an awareness of the environment. Toward this end, his landscapes exhibit the sensitivity that urges the viewer to appreciate and recognize the spiritual aspects of the Earth and actively participate in its protection and preservation. John believes that art is form of communication, so he places a high value on the inspiration behind the creation of a painting. In this respect John encourages young artists to look within themselves for the most beautiful vision that they as an artist can conceive of and courageously offer it to world to enrich and raise the consciousness of the viewer. This meditative process guarantees that the artist will produce the most sublime art of which they are capable."

Book: In Praise of Walking: A New Scientific Exploration Kindle Edition by Shane O'Mara In this “wonderful” (John Brandon, Forbes) book, neuroscientist Shane O'Mara invites us to marvel at the benefits walking confers on our bodies and brains, and to appreciate the advantages of this uniquely human skill. From walking's evolutionary origins, traced back millions of years to life forms on the ocean floor, to new findings from cutting-edge research, he reveals how the brain and nervous system give us the ability to balance, weave through a crowded city, and run our “inner GPS” system. Walking is good for our muscles and posture;?it helps to protect and repair organs and can slow or turn back the aging of our brains. With our minds in motion we think more creatively, our mood improves, and stress levels fall. Walking together to achieve a shared purpose is also a social glue that has contributed to our survival as a species. As our lives become increasingly sedentary, O'Mara makes the case that we must start walking again—whether it's up a mountain, down to the park, or simply to school and work. In Praise of Walking illuminates the joys, health benefits, and mechanics of walking, and reminds us to get out of our chairs and discover a happier, healthier, more creative self. 1A: The Joys And Benefits Of Walking With No Destination (Rebroadcast) When the country shut down last April, many didn't know what to do with themselves. Most Americans had never been homebound with no exit in sight. But some people found a way to feel less trapped through an activity right under their noses: walking. Walking has a range of health benefits, from boosting your mood to sharpening your perception of the world. Freelance journalist Jessica Remo writes: The pandemic slowed my life down, and the minutia became more interesting. Walks were indulgent — a way to fill up on novelty and nature, away from phones and screens. For this month's Scientific Method, we're talking about what walking does for our brains, our emotional health, and even our sense of community. GUESTS Shane O'Mara author, “In Praise of Walking: The New Science of How We Walk and Why It's Good for Us.” Jessica Remo freelance writer; walking enthusiast.

Toward this end, his landscapes exhibit the sensitivity that urges the viewer to appreciate and recognize the spiritual aspects of the Earth and actively participate in its protection and preservation. John believes that art is form of communication, so he places a high value on the inspiration behind the creation of a painting. In this respect John encourages young artists to look within themselves for the most beautiful vision that they as an artist can conceive of and courageously offer it to world to enrich and raise the consciousness of the viewer. This meditative process guarantees that the artist will produce the most sublime art of which they are capable."

If you still say “Thank Jason It’s Friday” - you’re not alone! That’s right killers, it’s the moment Patrick and Gena have dreaded since committing to their stay in Camp Crystal Lake: we’re watching Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning. Thankfully we’re joined by the glorious presence of John Brandon (of the Square Roots podcast) to help us in this terrible time of need. We open with an incredible sprint across SIX CHARACTERS because we know next to nothing about most of them. We discuss why grave robbers would want to have sex with Jason’s corpse so badly, count the number of Tina’s in the Friday franchise, debate cocaine storage strategies and investigate why everyone in this movie is constantly talking to themselves. All that and America’s favorite game - Choose Your Own Death-venture - just as soon has you hit play! Go ahead. We’ll wait.

Dr Stephen Covey passed away on Monday the 16th of July. We reviewed his "7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and the relevance today. Hear Tony Robbins reaction to the passing of Covey. Seth Godin recently was explored “Making money in the digital world!” Godin’s blog entry on monetizing digital attention explains the odd paradigm that has developed in digital content creation. It appears, says Godin, that most everyone wants a business where they sit at home, develop content, put it on the web, and have people pay them scads of money for it. But there's a trick they miss -- how to sell it online! Managing your online reputation: oh heck, really, we have to do this? Tommy had discovered in the July/August edition of Inc Magazine an article by John Brandon. Brandon explores in depth in his article how he manages his online reputation by using two separate services. The first one iswww.socialmention.com which is a free service and the second is www.myreputation.com which is approximately $99 for a year. These services essentially “comb” the web looking for anything and everything that has been written about you and or your business. Brian thinks it's a scam. Find out why.
John Brandon is a novelist who was raised on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Citrus County is set in his home state and is his second novel, focusing on a teacher and two middle-schoolers who have their loneliness and status as outsiders in common. The book is part crime novel and part exploration of the adolescent pysche.
"There's just tons of great writing about New York, but if I step out of a cab in Manhattan, the energy is so strong and finished, and I just feel like, there's nothing for me to do."
Citrus County (McSweeney's) by Brandon; The People of Paper (McSweeney's hardcover, Houghton Mifflin paperback) by Plascencia John Brandon will read from and sign his acclaimed new novel, Citrus County, with special guest Salvador Plascencia, author of The People of Paper! "With Citrus County John Brandon joins the ranks of writers like Denis Johnson, Joy Williams, Mary Robison and Tom Drury, writers whose wild flights feel more likely than a heap of what we've come to expect from literature, by calmly reminding us that the world is far more startling than most fiction is.” —New York Times Book Review (cover review) John Brandon was raised on the Gulf Coast of Florida. During the writing of this book he worked at a Frito-Lay warehouse and a Sysco warehouse. During the revising he was the John & Renee Grisham Fellow in Creative Writing at University of Mississippi. His favorite recreational activity is watching college football. His first book was Arkansas, a novel. Salvador Plascencia is the author of the novel The People of Paper, which was named a best book of the year by San Francisco Chronicle, The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times, and Boldtype. The novel has been translated into a dozen languages. His fiction and reviews have appeared in McSweeney's, Tin House, and The Los Angeles Times. In 2010, Poets and Writers named Plascencia one of the Fifty of the Most Inspiring Authors in the World. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS SEPTEMBER 8, 2010.
