Tradeshows and podcasts share some things in common.Both bridge the gap between businesses and audiences, create engagement, foster meaningful relationships, and build a personal connection through storytelling and conversation.But have you ever thought of putting the two together? Despite the misconception that tradeshows are no longer relevant, many companies are embracing them more than ever with a fresh, creative perspective. In addition, podcasts are becoming increasingly popular, presenting a unique opportunity to capitalize on both strategies to promote your business.Matt Kleinrock, CEO of Rockway Exhibits + Events, recently featured on the Amazon Strategist Show.

What's the state of recruiting + careers in Ireland?John Murphy is here to give us a global perspective and expand our view of the job market around the world.John On the State of Recruiting in IrelandFirst of all, what America is facing as an employer-driven market is happening in Ireland as well.In Ireland, most companies have their headquarters in Dublin and the aggressive market presents great opportunities for young people. According to John, the pressure in the recruitment processes is centered on salaries. Companies and organizations offer a lot upfront, and so the potential employees have the decision to either take the offer or not. This becomes a problem in the long run because these companies are unable to retain their staff, including Pharmaceutical companies.How Is the Marketplace in France and Ireland Compared to The US In Terms of Talent And Equity?John stated that these days, the market attracts young people as Covid has made remote jobs more accessible. The Native Digital generation prefers to work from home because they get to dictate how they work and the pay they receive. The downside to this (experienced especially by companies like manufacturing companies where certain tasks are better carried out onsite) is that the employees express displeasure whenever they have to be physically present."Equity doesn't mean that you treat everyone equally, it means that you treat everyone for the roles they are in and the experience they bring to the table". – John MurphyWhat About Leadership is Most Important:With the rise of self-proclaimed leaders all over our communities and social media spaces, it's beginning to seem like being a leader is an easy task. There are numerous materials on the subject matter by unfamiliar people and it's sometimes difficult to filter the right ones."The name ‘Manager' comes with a title, but the name ‘leader' doesn't come with a title". – John MurphyJohn shared that leaders in organizations should focus on ensuring that those under them are pushed to give their 100%. A good leader should be ready to bring value to his team and organization. At the end of the day, working effectively with a team is imperative. To him, it's about creating the environment to have the kind of result he wants his team to produce.Everyone wants to work in high performing teams but is not ready for the commitment, accountability and challenges that go into it. John implements the "7 R's" in his team; finding the right people, in the right roles, doing the right work, in the right way, with the right resources, delivering the right results. This has helped him be as effective a leader as possible.

So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they put him.” Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the Body of Jesus had been. And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken my Lord, and I don't know where they laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?

That You May Believe | The Gospel of John || On the eve before He would demonstrate the greatest form of love, Jesus offers us encouragement—encouragement that comes with a surprising challenge, too. A command to love people, even when they hate us for the truth.

That You May Believe | The Gospel of John || On the eve of his crucifixion, Jesus gathered his disciples together to prepare them for what was to come. Immediately following his foretelling of Peter's denial, which was troubling for the disciples to hear, Jesus encourages them by saying "Let not your hearts be troubled" and then reminds them again why they can trust in him.

Today, I am very happy to have with me a former client of mine and he’s very brave to be willing to talk about fear of flying in a straightforward manner!   John: Hi. This is Doctor John Dacey with my weekly podcast, New Solutions to the Anxiety Epidemic. Today, I am very happy to have with me a former client of mine and he’s very brave to be willing to talk about everything straightforward. His name is Bob and I’m really happy to have him in the studio today. Hey Bob, how are you? Bob: Good, John. Glad to be here. John: Now the major thing when I typically deal with former clients, is I ask them the 8 kinds of anxiety and have them talk about what it felt like and what they did to be successful, but in your particular case, it was very clear what you needed to deal with was fear of flying. Could you talk a little bit, Bob, about how you came to be a fearful flyer? You were flying to France and a whole lot of places and then all of a sudden something happened, isn’t that right? Bob: Yeah, I never had trouble flying before. I few all over to Europe and had no trouble in planes whatsoever, but I got married, and this was quite a long time ago. John: Where did you get married then? Bob: I got married in Finland. John: Oh Finland. Ok. Bob: Finland. My wife was Finnish, we met in Paris, and then she went back to Finland and I went back to join her and we got married after knowing each other for about 2 months or so. We had a honeymoon, by cruise, in the Mediterranean, and then we flew back to the United States from Milan. It was on the flight back that I had a totally unexpected panic attack. I can explain what it was like but looking back I realize, I was very ambivalent about the marriage. I was really of the feeling that maybe it was a mistake, that we knew each other for too short a time. John: Now let me just ask you a question there, Bob. So, you’re married, you had your honeymoon, etcetera, etcetera, and everything seems to be okay and then all of the sudden, something happened on this trip on the way back. Is that right? Bob: Right. I mean I did have my doubts, even going into the flight back. It wasn’t as if everything was totally hunky-dory and then completely out of the blue this happened, but I certainly didn’t expect—I had never had anything like this before. John: On the other hand, this is the first time she’s going to be meeting your parents, your relatives, your friends, is this correct? Bob: Well actually my parents had flown over for the wedding. John: Oh I see. Ok. Bob: But you know, this is the first time that she’s coming to the states. She was a very successful journalist and artist in Finland and she gave all that up to come over here with me. John: Can I interrupt you once again? I’m sorry to do that. You’re rather accomplished yourself. Would you tell us a little bit about your own educational background? Bob: Yeah. Well, I’m a biochemist. I have a Ph.D. in chemistry from Yale. I graduated Columbia Undergraduate and I had post oped in a couple of places, one of them which was Paris. We were coming back here where I was going to take up a position at Boston University in the Chemistry department. John: So you have pretty high standards I can imagine. Bob: Well you might say. You know, I was very excited about everything and looking forward to an academic career and my wife had, again, given up everything to come here with me so I felt quite a sense of responsibility for her. I had to really introduce her to the United States, how to go shopping in markets, and just ordinary everyday things. And also, to help her get a job over here. But on the plane, suddenly I felt very strong claustrophobia. I felt trapped in the plane, that I couldn’t get out. These were feelings that I had never really had before. John: Why would you want to get out, Bob? Bob: Yeah, I mean I wouldn’t want to get out. There’s absolutely no reason. In that sense, it made no sense, but looking back on it, I was also feeling trapped in this marriage even right at the beginning and that maybe played into this feeling of being trapped in the airplane. And it was pretty awful. It was a kind of panic attack. My breathing got sort of short and I didn’t feel I was going to die. I just felt I was in an impossible situation where I was trapped and couldn’t get out. John: So, naturally, you assumed that being on the airplane was part of this whole thing. Bob: Yeah, right. John: And that’s why after being a fearless flyer for a long time—this is what amazes people—in one experience, it went from being perfectly comfortable to perfectly terrifying. Bob: Exactly right. Exactly right. That was part of the problem because it was so unexpected and I had never had anything like this before. I was not an anxious person, I didn’t have these kinds of anxieties before. I had the normal anxieties, you know, like before a final exam or something like that, that everybody has, but I never had these kinds of feelings before. So, we got back to the states and I had a number of phobias I guess you’d call them, that were connected, I suppose, to this that I had never had before: a phobia of heights, a fear of elevators, being trapped in a subway if it’s stopped between stations. A whole bunch of phobias that were kind of connected to being trapped in some way. John: So I can understand this. You sort of transferred being psychologically trapped in the marriage to being physically trapped in these various situations, which in fact you were. If you go up in an elevator, for a short time you are trapped. Bob: Right. That’s what they all had in common. John: And for a long time on an airplane, especially in an intercontinental flight like that, you’re trapped for quite a while. Bob: That’s right. The next summer, we went back to Finland, to visit her family, and it was pretty awful for me because I knew how awful the flight would be and it was. And it’s a long flight. The flight there and back was pretty bad. That was the beginning of all of these. As I mentioned, I never had these anxieties before and it all sort of came crashing down. Meanwhile, I had to continue my work which I wanted to do as a biochemist and had students working with me and was teaching classes and meanwhile dealing with all this so it was quite difficult. John: Now as I said to you, we have a limited amount of time and I wonder if we can jump right into what you and I did. You came to see me about this, which was a brilliant plan on your part. I’m just kidding. However, what we did—tell us a little about what we did to deal with the flying. Bob: Well, we sort of worked in stages. We first spoke about what brought all this on, which I kind of summarized, in the first place. Then, we tried to imagine what it would be like in the plane, and then I worked with John on a simulator, a flight simulator that tried to give me an even stronger feeling than just talking about it, an actual visual feeling for being in the plane. Going up then landing, flying and then landing. Then we went out to the small private plane field and we looked around and gradually worked up where we first went on an airplane and it was a small Cessna and sat in the plane for a while to give my self a feeling for sitting in the plane. The next step we were in the plane and we just taxied around the field, we didn’t take off. John: By the way, we have a pilot with us, I remember, because even though I was with you, I’m also a student pilot so I couldn’t really take you up if I wanted to, but we did have an instructor and the company that did this with us was very understanding and really wanted to see you be able to fly again so they were perfectly willing to do these things like traveling around the airport. They got permission and they traveled around the airport on the ground at first to get you back to being used to it. Bob: Yeah, they were very supportive. John: And by the way, I think it’s important to add that the big difference in being on a super liner and this little pane is that you get 270 degrees of view from where you’re sitting up in the front, I was sitting in the back. Also, we had a pilot who if you say to him, “I have to go down right now,” he will do it. If you say that to a 747 pilot, they probably won’t do it. Bob: You’re in big trouble right. John: That’s right. Bob: The next time we actually took off and we circled around the airport and came down, and each time it git a little hard, but a little easier in a way. John: By the way, I want to add that I think we went out and did a little celebrating afterward, and it’s very important that you do celebrate, that you do have some really nice reward for doing this because that’s what cements the success feeling. Bob: Yes. Absolutely. Then we moved up to taking shorter flights on a regular commercial plane. We took Cape Air once to Hyannis and once I think it was to Provincetown. That worked out quite well. They’re small planes, but they’re commercial flights. John: Well you did a great job. You were very nervous and I believe that if you don’t mind me saying this, that you took one small tranquilizer just to help a little bit and we didn’t do that every time, but we did it in the beginning. Bob: Yes, and it really did help. I took some Ativan and that did help. John: Ativan is a great drug for that. Bob: Yes. And then after those, we really graduated, I did to commercial jets, we took a flight to New York. I think we took two flights to New York and then I did one with my girlfriend without John and then I went to visit a friend in Washington, DC, which was for me a real triumph. John: By yourself. Bob: That was the longest one. Yeah, it was by myself. John: I was so proud of you because that was a really big jump and you did wonderfully well. Bob: I was a little trepidatious but it worked out fine and that was the last flight and you know it’s been a few years, but I wouldn’t have any trouble taking those flights again and I’m still hoping to reach for the stars in a way, and get back to my beloved Paris. John: We’re going to get you back to Paris, Bob. That’s the plan. Well, I want to thank you so much for giving your testimony here today. I’m sure there’s a lot of listeners, we have over 6 thousand listeners now, I don’t know if I told you. It’s just wonderful and of course, we’re talking about the Corona Virus sometimes, but mostly it’s about stories like yours. You’re proud of yourself and I have to say, I’m very proud of you also. Bob: And I’ve enjoyed working with you so much, John. You’ve made all the difference to me. All the difference. John: Well thank you so much. Thanks a million. And I’ll talk to you folks next week.

- Press the PLAY button to listen to the catechesis of the day -+ A reading from the holy Gospel, according to John +On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they put him.” So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.The Gospel of the Lord.

In this episode, we  hear from John “Tank” Miller of Delaware. A Family Advocate and father of a 19 year old with mental health challenges, John discusses his mental health advocacy through social media and how he uses “Tank Mentality” to provide those with mental illness encouragement every day. Become part of the Tank Mentality Movement: Follow on Twitter @tankmentality  Follow on Facebook: tankmentality/ Transcription Female Voice: Welcome to Ask the Advocate. Where mental health advocates share their journey to advocacy, and what it has meant for their lives. Ask the Advocate is a Mothers On The Front Line production. Today, we will hear from John 'Tank' Miller of Delaware. A family advocate and father of a 19-year-old son with mental health challenges. John discusses his mental health advocacy through social media, and how he uses Tank mentality to provide those with mental illness encouragement every day. This interview was recorded at the 2017 National Federation of Families conference for children's mental health. [background music] Tammy: Hello. So, we're just going to begin by asking you to introduce yourself, and telling us a little bit about your advocacy organization, and what you do. John: My name is John Miller from Delaware. I am a father of a 19-year-old with mental health issues. I'm here today to talk about my movement, Tank Mentality. Tammy: Yeah, I love the name. Why don't you tell us a bit about the name? John: Well, about the name, the name actually was the origin of me, and that came from playing football. 9th grade year, I had a football coach who lined me up, and I was excited. I was just putting on pads for the first time as a high-schooler, and we ran a drill called Oklahomas. The object of Oklahoma is to not get tackled. Tammy: Sounds like a good incentive. John: So, I grabbed the ball, and the rest was kind of history. I ran through my whole entire team, and it got to the point where he was like, "Nobody can tackle you. We're gonna call you Tank." And, that's when Tank was born. Tammy: And how do you see Tank as transferring to mental health? John: Because as a tank, you're in the front line. Tammy: That's right. John: On the front line, you're going to take some punishment. So, on the front line, you have to have that armor. So, I incorporated Tank as far as mental because everything in life is mental. Tammy: That's right. John: So, you can't do a thing without thinking of things. So, it's just was one of those things where I'm like, "You know what? This thing is bigger than me. And, it started with me, but it's not going to end with me." Tammy: Awesome. So, tell us a bit how you got involved in advocacy, to begin with. John: Well, I got involved with advocacy, it was something that I was naturally doing. To give you a little background about me, I work as a restaurant manager. Because being a manager as you know, you're managing a bunch of teenagers and younger people, so you're always molding young leaders, and you're supervising them, but at the same time, you're kind of like, as I say, growing them. So, I actually listened to a lot of their challenges, their stories, and seeing some of their strengths and weaknesses, and I was using my advocacy to help them better. And, it was just something I was naturally doing, and I had the opportunity to do it as a professional. It was just like a smooth transition because I'm like I'm already doing this. Tammy: Right. I love it that though because you say that like that's so natural. I'm not sure all restaurant managers are thinking of themselves and their role as developing young people. I think that's pretty remarkable that you, even at that point, that's how you were seeing it. I have to just point that out, I think that's remarkable and wonderful that you took that on. John: Well, that goes down to my upbringing. My grandmother put that into me as a young kid.

I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week [MUSIC TRANSITION] We’ve gone back in time 100 years to explore the war that changed the world! It is 1917 and America is preparing a war effort that is transforming her more quickly than any previous event in her short history. For example, 100 years later people will simply take for granted, the country’s ability to move huge volumes of goods, resources and people across the vast land. But there is no highway system in 1917… There are few canals… but there is a large and even transcontinental infrastructure - The railroads! So it is not surprising, that trains quickly becomes a key strategic element in the war effort, 100 years ago. Following are some the headlines and notes from the Official Bulletin - America’s War Gazette published daily by the Committee on Public Information, the US government propaganda ministry headed by George Creel. We’ll track the story about the railroads through its headlines and pages starting just a month after war is declared.   [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: May 15, 1917 Headline: BILL TO GIVE PRESIDENT POWER OVER FREIGHT SHIPMENTS INTRODUCED The story reads: "As war conditions develop It is certain there will be times when the shipment of arms and ammunition may be of prime importance ; at another time the movement of provisions may be more important; yet at another, the movement of coal and Iron ore may become the most Important of all.   Under these conditions It is thought essential that the President should have the power to determine what particular freight shall have priority and for how long this priority should continue.   Less than a month later --  the scope of the challenge is outlined in the Bulletin:   [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: June 5th, 1917 Headline: THE MOBILIZATION OF RAILROADS FOR THE NATION'S WAR NEEDS ARE DEFINED The story reads: Freight cars are lacking… There are 2,500,000 freight cars in the United States and their capacity is barely sufficient for current commercial needs. The railroads in the near future will use 120,000 cars to transport material for the construction of the ' new army ' training camps, and a continuous flow of cars to keep those camps in supplies. They estimate that It will take 200,000 cars to carry the material used for the construction of the Government merchant ships, whether of steel or of wood. They will require an enormous number of cars to move the steel for the ships under construction for the Navy, and no estimate whatever can be made of the number of cars which will be needed to carry the material used in the manufacture of munitions and supplies for the Army, and in moving them a second time from the point of manufacture to the shipping point.   [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: June 21th, 1917 Headline: MORE EXTENDED USE OF INTERIOR WATERWAYS OF COUNTRY URGED BY SECRETARY OF COMMERCE   TM: The “maxing out” of capacity is clearly being recognized by all concerned --- and everyone is looking for answers as this story illustrates:   “The president of one of our leading railways has recently said : " The railroads of the United States are carrying more freight than ever before in the history of the country, but when they have carried traffic up to 100 per cent of their capacity there still remains 15, 25, perhaps 30 per cent in traffic which it is impossible for them to carry at all." No one --- who knows the facts, will question that the railways of the country are overwhelmed by the present traffic. There is said to be a shortage of 150,000 cars. Radical measures are being taken In an effort to meet the situation. The railroads are Insufficient for the task laid upon them and the problem is likely to become more serious. It will not be long before large bodies of troops must be moved with their equipment in this country.   TM: Although Americans were used to traveling through the country by rail - A visit to aunt Tilly in not in the cards anytime soon,   [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: July 17, 1917 Headline: HUGE REDUCTION IN PASSENGER TRAIN SERVICE The story reads: The railroads of the United States, as part of their effort, under the direction of the Railroads' War Board, report the elimination of passenger trains aggregating over 16,200,000 miles of train service per year. This is done by the railroads to save man power, fuel, and motive power, that they may be applied to the transportation of necessities. Every ton of coal, every locomotive, every mile of track space, every man whose duties are absorbed by an unnecessary passenger train --- can be put to effective use in freight service, and nothing is more necessary at the moment to insure the safety and prosperity of the country than that the railroads be able to handle the utmost possible amount of freight.   The elimination of passenger service already reported will make available over 1,120.000 tons of coal for other purposes. TM: 10 days later a positive public relations story is published in the bulletin about the railroad companies   [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: July 27, 1917 Headline: RAILROADS INCREASE NATION'S FOOD SUPPLY BY LEASING SURPLUS LANDS WHICH THEY OWN The story reads: To help increase the Nation's food supply by utilizing as much idle acreage as possible the railroads of the West and Middle West are leasing millions of acres of lands - which they own  - at nominal rental for grazing and agricultural purposes. In addition to leasing their land to farmers and cattlemen at a nominal rental, a number of the railroads are offering garden plots, rent free, to families along their right of way.   This leads to the big story this week one hundred years ago…   [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: August 20th, 1917 Headline: PLANS FOR GREATEST TROOP MOVEMENT IN U. S. HISTORY ARE NOW BEING PERFECTED The American Railway Association Is Preparing Schedules To Insure Safe and Prompt Carrying of the Armies. The story reads: Altogether, 687,000 men will have in be transported to the various cantonments that the Government is building to house the new National Army. The movement will start September 5. Between that date and September 9 the railroads will complete the entrainment of 200,000 men, or approximately 30 per cent of the total number scheduled to be moved to the various training camps. The facts are that to move merely one field army of 80,000 men requires 6.229 cars made up into 366 trains, with as many locomotives and train crews. Meanwhile, in addition to moving the 687,000 recruits for the National Army, the railroads have been asked to supply transportation for the 350,000 members of the National Guard to their training camps.   Closing TM: It is easy to see how challenging and strategic this key piece of infrastructure is to the war effort - So….Finally, in December of this year , 1917,  the Interstate Commerce Commission recommends the total federal control of the railroad industry to ensure efficient operation. The takeover measures are to go beyond simply easing the congestion and expediting the flow of goods; they will have total control of all parties—management, labor, investors, and shipping— on behalf of this national interest. President Wilson issues an order for nationalization of the US railroad industry on December 26, 1917 [BANG SOUND EFFECT]   The US Postal Service in WW1 Interview with Lynn [SOUND EFFECT WOOSH] Now that the troops are shipping out - first to training camp and soon thereafter overseas, another key logistics elements has to be nailed into place - one that is essential the the mental and spiritual well being of our fighting forces - Mail service! With us today is Lynn Heidelbaugh (HEIDEL-BAW), Curator at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum who is going to talk to us about the mail service and how it adapted to the changing needs of a population at war.   Welcome, Lynn!   [exchange greetings] [Lynn, can you fill us in on how the postal service in america had to transform and adapt when war was declared? ] [You lost postal workers to the draft didn’t you?] [Lynn - later in the show we’ll hear from Andrew Carroll from the Center for American War Letters at Chapman University - he contributed to your Pershing  “My fellow Soldiers - Letters from WWI” exhibit at the museum. When did that open?] [Lynn - Museum exhibits are not really about artifacts and objects - they are about stories - as the curator for a postal museum exhibit about WW1 - is there anything that sticks out as a particularly memorable story.] [Did the postal service get Involved with mail censorship or was that strictly the war department?] [Thank you Lynn] That was  Lynn Heidelbaugh (HEIDEL-BAW), Curator at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. link:https://postalmuseum.si.edu/   War in the Sky [SOUND EFFECT] This week in our War in The Sky segment we are going to talk about the famous US 94th Aero Squadron- which is established at Kelly Field, Texas on August 20, 1917. The “Hat in the ring Gang” named for their squadron logo -  is one of the first American pursuit squadrons to reach the Western Front and see combat. Three notable airmen serve with the squadron, perhaps the most well known is Eddie Rickenbacker, who will be awarded almost every decoration attainable, including the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross. On a personal note, I have a silver cigarette case from my grandfather that is signed by a bunch of his flying buddies including Eddie Rickenbacker. I’ve always treasured that... So, another interesting member of the Hat in the Ring Gang is  Raoul Lufbery.. Who transferred over from the famous Lafayette Escadrille. Lufbery, a really colorful character, famously adopted a lion cub while with the Lafayette and named him Whiskey, later got Whiskey a lioness playmate called Soda. Now - besides being a little eccentric, he is, of course,  also a great aviator… Finally there is Douglas Campbell who will become the first AMERICAN  TRAINED pilot to be an air ace. We will follow more of the 94th Aero Squadron’s exploits over the coming months, a famous squadron that was born 100 years ago this week. There are several links in the podcast notes to learn more.

The word for “punishment” is “Strafe” - And that is exactly what german fighter planes did - as they swept down from the skies, flying low to the ground as they unloaded their machine guns into the soldier in the trenches. It was a punishment from the sky. This air to ground support maneuver soon become known as to “strafe” or strafing the troops - an anglicized version of the german word for punishment - Strafe -  this week’s word for - Speaking WW1 - see the translation from Google Translate in the podcast notes.

Michael: Hello readers and listeners, this is Michael Gross of optionsellers.com, I have a very special guest for you today. Today we have with us John “Dr. J” Najarian, for any of you that watch CNBC you’ll see Jon on Closing Bell and also as a feature trader on Half Time Report. He’s also co-author with his brother Pete of the book “How We Trade Options”, he’s co-founder of optionmonster.com and trademonster.com. For those of you who don’t know John he was a floor trader at the CBOE for 23 years before founding these enterprises. For those of you that trade stock options, Jon has some deep insight into that form of trading he’s going to share with some of those with us today. John welcome to optionsellers.com, guest expert series. John: Well it’s my pleasure Michael, thank you very much for having me. Michael: Sure, John you’ve got a pretty rich background in the industry, one thing many of our listeners might not know is that your resume includes a job as a linebacker with the Chicago Bears. Can you tell us a little bit about that and how you got started with your career in trading? John: Sure, well I was lucky enough back in 1981 to come out of college and go right to the Chicago Bears, and unfortunately even though I picked a good team I think too, – because I was a free agent, I was not drafted – so it was my choice because several teams had contacted me Michael, and the Bears looked like they were probably my best chance. So I went there but unfortunately Michael Singletary ended up being a number two pick that year and obviously a future Hall-of-Famer, it was not long before they figured out that they’d rather have him at middle linebacker than me. So at least it got me to Chicago and that’s what I always thank Mike Singletary about. Michael: That’s some pretty tough competition. John: Yup it is, and he’s a really tough guy and a good guy, so my mother is the only one that resents him. I instead admire him, and I'm sure if my mom had met him she’d admire him too. Michael: Okay, so you were in Chicago and then you ended up on the floor of the CBOE, can you tell us how that got started and what you did there? John: Sure, basically my agent was a trader and a money manager, and he was on the floor of the Chicago Board Option Exchange, managing money for clients. And when he asked me what I was going to do, and I told him that I thought I’d go into the markets, from being around so many interesting people up at our training camp. Bears training camp at that time was up at Lake Forrest, a suburb on the northern edge of Chicago. So he said “well if you’re even interested in that, you’d much rather be on the floor John, trust me”, so he gave me a job and I did that with him for about six months and worked with another trader for about six months, and then went off and started trading my own money out on the floor. Michael: Wow that’s a great story, now when you first started trading Jon, were you trading options, were you trading or were you selling options, were you buying options, what type of trading were you doing? John: Basically as a market maker, so I would have to do both, buy and sell, but I was primarily I guess a premium buyer. Because most traders you will find that are on the floor end up having long premium positions I think, but the primary reason is that they’re scalping throughout the trading day. In other words that long gamut, the fact that you’re long on option contracts, and that it gets longer as it goes higher, and shorter as you go down, means that scalping can be a very lucrative way to make a living. So basically scalping gamma is what most traders do, and obviously the further you get from the trading floor, the more it favors the strategy like what you guys do where you’re and options seller rather than an options buyer. Because a combination of people just don’t have a full time access to the markets like a floor trader does, and the time decay can just eat you up as an off floor trader that trades a couple times a day or a couple times a week or a couple times a month. That’s different from a floor trader who probably trades hundreds of times per day. So again I think the closer you are to the pits and being in there and trading, the more likely you are to be a long gamma trader, and the further you are – more upstairs, which is what I am now like you Michael – the more you are an options seller I think. Michael: Well that’s a great observation. In your opinion John is there still as much activity on the floor or is most of this going online now? John: Of course the volumes show up attributed to a floor, but most of the volume really occurs down in the data centers of Mahwah New Jersey, Carteret New Jersey, Chicago or wherever, in other words at the CME or at the CBOE, at Arca, wherever it might be. The traders are still on the floor but most of the volume is really transacted by people on computer via remote, so long winded explanation I guess, most of the volumes coming in trading electronically rather than in open outcry in the pits. Michael: Okay I'm sure a lot of our listeners and readers are interested to hear that because we do get a lot of questions of “is floor trading what it used to be”, you read a lot now about things going online and a lot of people are curious about that. John, so you spent a lot of time with the CBOE, 23 years, you eventually went on to found trade monster and option monster, and trade monster recently rated best for option traders by Barons. Can you tell us a little bit about those two enterprises, who they’re for and what they offer to investors? John: Sure, well the trade monster was something that my brother Pete and I created to be an online trading platform similar to offering over at Pinker Slim or Charles Schwab with their option express purchase. So we basically sought out to create a venue for people to give them a lot of tools so that they could trade using various types of analysis of both options and stocks, and technical analysis for charts and all the rest on one platform, so that they wouldn’t have to download something. They could just use it as a web based service from wherever they were on mobile or sitting at a desktop. So we did that, and that became known as trade monster. Then we did a deal with a private equity firm a year ago, that private equity firm bought a majority of the firm from us. And we immediately rolled up another firm and now call it Options House. So options plural, house, that’s our technology on that much bigger and much more widely distributed trading platform. Michael: Okay so options house is based primarily on technology that you’ve developed or you and your team have developed? John: Yes exactly, we developed the technology and the tools to both analyze trades and for investors to be able to see where the heat was. We can’t really redistribute the heat seekers that we do because the bandwidth it requires is just too large, so instead we give a slimmed down version for free to many of the clients of Options House so that they can see where there are unusual calls or push. And many times those are signals that somebody is getting involved, somebody’s buying and is establishing {unintelligible 12:22-12:24} that particular equity. Michael: Okay, Jon now you’ve also authored a book with your brother Pete called “How We Trade Options”, and that’s based on your experience on trading stock options. I know one of your key concepts is looking for options with unusual activity. Can you explain what that means and talk a little about the approach you recommend taking in the book? John: Sure, well we start to give a basic primer if you will Michael for people understanding how options work and then how they could apply various strategies to either enhance yield for selling options for instance against stocks that they own, or to instead of investing in stocks at all, perhaps stimulating a long position through the use of options, either buying in deeper in the money call or a lead, or by putting in a call vertical spread, a one by one spread, they can simulate the long stock that have far less risk than the open ended down side of purchasing Chipotle or Apple or any of the other high fliers that people tend to want to trade. But could have a considerable downside if there is a negative event that impacts both stocks like of course this just happened over the last month or so in Chipotle. Michael: Okay so a lot of the strategies you’re looking at are what some people call synthetic positions? Is that – am I on the right track there, or am I off somewhere else? John: You sure are, no you guys know your options, so I'm not going to correct you Michael, you’re exactly right. Many of these synthetics are ways that people are getting long and expressing that bullish outlook – or short – for instance right now because of some of the things that I've seen in the market, I am long a lot on put spreads in the Spider, the SPY. And I expressed that bearish position not by shorting but by owning the put at for instance the 205 strike and being short of goods at the 195 strike in the SPY therefore putting on a position whereby I make money if the market drops and you know `that kind of spread, that vertical spread is the way that I probably trade 70% of the time either being bullish or bearish through calls Michael: Ok. Excellent I’m sure a lot of our listeners will certainly understand what you’re doing there. John many of our listeners here either trade or are interested in both stock and commodities options; however many of the option strategies are the same. Do you have any individual option strategies other than- I know you said your favorite here is the vertical type of long spreads, any other strategies that you favor that you like that you would recommend to investors? John: Well I think for investors that are just learning the course many of them will be better served since they probably own stocks learning about the writing of calls- covered calls against stocks that they own. And then perhaps as they're learning about options eventually they’ll want to understand insurance which is of course a good option collecting a premium for a call can help offset some of the pain that you feel if the market moves to the downside but it can only provide the perfection up to that premium that you've collected so I think the next step is that people tend to understand putting on a put versus their stock and then perhaps writing a call against it and that's something that traders refer to as Callers? And that's a very popular way for people to invest because it can really cut off at downside risk of owning upstart through that put option and then hopefully pay for it by selling them upside call the truncate are upside but it seems like a reasonable trade-off to most of us when you see some of the rapid decline that we’ve seen in 2015 I can’t remember a year where we've seen more of these Michael. Michael: Well that's an interesting observation. I'm going to ask you something, shift gears here a little bit John; many of our listeners, readers here, they've read our book: The Complete Guide to Option Selling some of them sell options on commodities, a lot of them sell stock options. One of the tenets that we always preach is hey look this isn’t the only way to trade options... there's hundreds of ways you can trade options this is one way that works for us it's what we recommend. Obviously you have some ways that work for you; what’s your opinion of selling options as a strategy and do you use the strategy at all in your trading? John: I use it all the time in my trading, I would say that for our clients over on the wealth management side in particular for foundations and endowments and thing, that’s why people come to us; they want somebody to prudently manage a covered write or an option overwrite and I think that’s the same sort of appeal that you guys in your department have Michael is that people seek that additional yield and one of the ways that you can do it most on efficiency- efficiently rather, is through those option strategies; listed options, prices every night there’s nothing over the counter that is in our portfolios for folks just basically writing listed options form or in some cases options that are created select options where you can basically call strike price for American or European exercise and all that sort of thing that's extremely popular for us with the larger accounts that we do because you're not necessarily impacting the market the same way as if you tried to go in and basically put a market in between the bid and the offer or something like that, you’re asking for a quote for specific strategy and most of those big trading desks are more than willing to accommodate that. Michael: Ok, now these strategies when you’re-- when you are doing these rights for clients, these are equity options these are stock options. Is that correct? John: That's correct, yeah. They are equity options that we're establishing for those clients. Michael: And these are primarily clients that are – are they just looking for high returns or they hedging other portfolios- or what’s their primary draw? John: On the wealth management side, they tend to be either like I say pensions, endowments... foundation and things like that when they have their own portfolio of stocks they haven’t asked us to pick those and instead we are putting on positions for them to enhance the yield and/or to cut the risk of owning what they own and that's probably 60/70% of our business. The rest is for us to {inaudible} put stock and/or ETF and then put on the protected strategies or enhance yield around a particular portfolio that we have selected. So we do it either way {inaudible} goes 'cause they have already put on their stocks or we will be happy to set what we think is a representative portfolio that hopefully outperforms the broader market. We have someone within capital this past year, created a unit investment trust that either people buy as an investment trust or UIT or you can either buy stocks without that unit investment trust {inaudible} depending on the portfolio they pick and then we'll do overwrites or call {inaudible} to come enhance that Michael: okay that does sound like some complex strategies that you’re obviously very good at and it’s very interesting to hear how you’re doing it because we were we just do the commodities on this side and hearing what the you’re doing with the equities is - sure be fascinating to a lot of our listeners. John: cool. Well Thank you. Michael: Sure... John I’m going to shift gears here just for a minute and ask you about some your views of the market and the world right now. There seems to be a lot of anxiety about the state of the world, the markets as of late; are you seeing that reflected in stock option values you follow, the Vicks, those types of things? John: We absolutely are seeing that risk or that fear and you can smell it. When you've been in this as long as I have you definitely can smell it. Here is something that is either fear or greed that are the 2 primary drivers and the greed you can tell by how euphoric voices sound when you're on a trading floor, you can probably even tell it when you're watching some of the talking heads on TV discussing various stocks and how the market reaction, for instance, after the jobs report we saw just a dramatic jump to November jobs report- reported on I believe December 4th or 5th. You saw Mario Grogey come on and explain that the market's up a hundred, 200 points, 300 points, nearly 400 points on the day; that kind of euphoric buying is that greed that I’m speaking up and also sent it downside; and you have a 200 point sell off and you are definitely hearing more of the fear in that trade and with the commodity meltdown that is going on and most of 2015 you can certainly see why at the end of the year we've seen a lot of tax lost harvesting at the end of the year. Michael: OK, that’s fascinating you- I'm probably kind of guessing that your answer to this based on your- when you were talking about writing put spreads earlier but as far as your thoughts on the market for 2016 I know no one can predict the future but do you have an Outlook right now? John: Well overall I think that again, we're sort of lucky on one side that the prices had come down and since crude oil which almost everybody - in one way or another - a Tesla driver probably impacted a little in a positive way by lower energy prices; whether it's the energy to basically power that Tesla by plugging it in or the natural gas in their homes or whatever it might be. Crude oil as a form of eating oil on the East Coast, any of these are imports that are less in 2015 than they were in 2016 and that number has basically still dropped throughout the year... and I believe we're at almost half the United States 24 stock- of 24 States where gasoline is less than 2 dollars a gallon. I think that's a positive I think some of the negative impacts to stocks and stock market will be mitigated by the fact that less participation as I said think we said earlier in the broadcast that these energy stocks are now only about six and a half percent of the SEP 500 previously they were closer to 15% so they've been cut in half their impact on the SEP. So some of the downward pulls that those {inaudible} prices have on the economy or at least on the stock market I think will be lessened just because of that percentage of the SEP 500 that is in load stock and represented by those stocks; on the other hand, everybody from Amazon, people from UPS or whomever is delivering packages I keep seeing a positive from these energy prices being cheaper. I think that one of the dangers in the early part of next year, 2015 is that if Grogey and the ECB move too quickly to increase the equity and basically increase their buying European gas that we can see a dramatic drop in the value of the Euro, it would correspond to of course the big rise in the dollar. I think they're going to be very measured about the way they do that, 'cause as I said everything's going to be measured in the way that the moved rate goes on our side of the globe. So if I’m right about then I think these 2 factors could be much less of a negative impact on US stocks and on our market and the outlier which is if either go up faster on our side than anticipated Again I think that a 20% chance not an 80% chance and I think that Grogey is 80% chance to move slowly and measured with the increases to quantitative using overseas. So in other words my overall outlook is that the market grade is higher although probably only 5 or 6% higher in 26 weeks and I think given that he has said there'll be a fire of European debt through March of 2017 means it should not really be much of a paper roll for their overseas until the end of next year; so again I think all that we will likely see equity prices higher without too much of a drag from either [[28:00]] {inaudible} quantitative using here which too fast of or the acceleration which key fast of quantitative using over there Michael: OK. Now you mentioned earlier that you had some long put spreads on, are you more bearish in the short term and bullish in a longer-term or what- okay John: that’s exactly it. I am not necessarily off bearish but I wanted to vote-- most time Michael when I get here the same if I’m talking about what people quote unquote should do I’m probably doing that. I’m not one of those guys that says 'Oh you guys should do this' but I'm doing the opposite. Michael: sure John: but for my account and for my clients we are protecting portfolios and we're only put and/or volatility and there's a way to do both with the Spider I think. I literally preyed the volatility EPS because I think they’re very inefficient in how they express my view. I would rather say if I think volatility is going to move up that means 99 times out of 100 the market is going to go down. Given that I’d rather have a put spread like the one I described earlier - the 205 195 that $10 put spread I'd much rather have that on than I would buy a bunch of VXX or VXY or any of the EPS that allegedly cracks the volatility because I found that those are inefficient ways to prey because the other just sprayed out access to the short side of the market through a Spider or an SPY put spread is a much more efficient way for them to express that same opinion that I have so that’s why I’m more likely to do that. Michael: Ok. John it's refreshing to hear your Outlook as compared to-- not a lot of analysts in people that discuss the market seldom have extreme views right now. You seem to have a very measured reasonable view of the markets and going forward 2016. Do you have any favorite stocks or sectors that you think might be better than others in the upcoming year? John: Well I’ve got to think that many of the sectors that people can get exposed to either stocks or commodities playing right into your strength. I think these guys -- I think commodities can't and I mean cannot be as big a problem for the market in 2016 as they have been in 2015. I can’t imagine that we're going to see copper for instances that basically are down to $2 and change have a similar fall in 2016. Nor can I see crude oil down from the 60s into the 50s into the 40s and now in the $37 range; I can't see a similar percentage drop there. I just really can't. I think there's just too many other factor that would be to have a man slack dramatically to have either of those have as big an impact as a negative impact on the media in those sectors or on the support mechanisms for them. Support meaning like Caterpillar, for instance, for like Acres News or Slumber Jays depending on if we're talking about mining or going global. We're talking about crude oil and extraction or exploration of natural gas and crude oil. I can't imagine the same sort of negative pull there so those two sectors mining oil and gas, those two sectors would be what I would have in focus. I think that the early part of next year, technology will probably be a significant driver; something that will unfortunately commodities probably don't give you as much access to but I think the rest of the year could be pretty significantly impacted by a turnaround in commodity prices even if it's not a dramatic move to the upside, even if it’s just stabilization I think that's going to be something that happens in 2016. Michael: Yeah that's a great point and maybe one that not a lot of traditional investors get is when you're over on the option side you don’t necessarily need to be outright bullish marketer, guns blazing bullish or even guns blazing bearish just maybe you’re not so bearish on something. There’s an option strategy that you can take advantage of that viewpoint. It doesn’t have to be outright black or white and I’m sure you’re very familiar with that, in fact some of the strategies you just discussed target exactly that. John: Yup. That’s right. I think doing what you and I do Michael gives an investor some confidence that they can own a particular asset, commodity asset or stock exchange created asset and there are ways that you can protect it from the downside, because the world really is about risk versus reward; how much risk am I willing to take for that additional reward? And if the reward is too small for the risk, then I think that's not really an asset that I want to own. On the other hand if I could either do a bearish expression or bullish, have exposure to the market that's exactly what these products are so good at and why I want to be in them. Michael: Excellent and just to quick summarize John and correct me if I’m wrong but just to summarize some of the things you've said, your bullish tech early on 2016 as far as sectors you're leaning towards 2016. You think the mining and energy sectors may not be all out bullish but you think the downside could be somewhat limited in 2016? Did I get that right, was it mining and energies? John: Yup. You're spot on. I think just to summarize technology I believe leads out of the gate in 2016 but by the end of the year the commodities will have their day again and that many of the prices that we'll see as tax loss selling carries us into the end of 2015 people will see gains from those levels by the second half or maybe even before that of 2016 and some of these will be silly how cheap they will have looked in hind sight. Michael: That’s a great point. John I know you’re not a commodities guy per se but you do follow obviously have to follow world asset prices oil certainly something I know you’re familiar with, do you know of-- I know you talked a little bit about this earlier as far as oil goes we just had OPEC come out and they are not going to cut production in the near term, do you have an opinion on that right now? Do you see us heading to a major bottom here over the next 1 to 2 months early 2016 here or do you see things leveling out? Or what's kind of your gut feeling right now? John: Yeah I do, I think that the-- I think overall we will but I don’t know that it's a V-shaped bottom so that’s why I said that I don’t think the first half of 2016 is necessarily off to the races for those sectors {inaudible} I think it’ll take a little while to that mindset and to that pain to be-- fall out of people's minds; but then at some point greed will kick in when they realize that enough production has come off-line in the way that we've seen rig-counts coming down every week now. Early in 2015 Michael they were coming down 23 straight weeks then as commodity prices and energy states rebounded, we saw them build back up. It never got to where they were in 2014 but they nonetheless build back up and now they've been leading off to the last 2 almost 3 months every single week. I think that continues and that cutback of that swing delivery of energies will be one of the reasons that we actually see prices move up. Michael: Ok, case of low prices curing low prices. John: Yup Michael: John this has been some great information and everybody listening out there I'm sure you probably want to go back through and listen to this again or read it John has really given you some great strategies here, some great insight into the markets. John if investors want to learn more about you, your strategies, your firm, where do you recommend that they go? John: Well if they could go to optionmonster.com or howwetradeoptions.com either of those two sites they could learn a lot more about it and have some pretty good free tools available to them as well... Michael: Perfect. That’s optionmonster.com and howwetradeoptions.com. John- John: Well thank you Michael it's been a pleasure. Michael: thank you John it’s been some great information we're glad to have you hopefully you'd like to come back again sometime and- John: I’m sure I would. Michael: It's been a pleasure to have you, I'm going to stop the recording here at this point John: Ok.
