**Document Episode Name for editing purposes INTRO:  Welcome to **the award winning** My Big Fat Bloody Mary podcast where you will never drink alone. We are coming to you from the studios of the Bloody Mary Concert Series and we are being fueled by the La Crosse Distilling Co.'s Field …

Sometimes we meet people that we are inexplicably drawn to, for one reason or another. For me, Michael Killik is one of those people. Killik quotes Chuck D from Public Enemy, sometimes speaks in colorful language (you've been warned) and has the word "Juggernaut" tattooed on his belly. But he's also a dad of four daughters, a doting grandfather, a proud veteran, and a mid-life entrepreneur. Michael makes Killik Hot Sauce that is fermented and naturally low in sodium (an important part of the story). He discovered a love for hot sauce while stationed in Abilene, Texas. But he didn't pursue a business until many years later after living life hard and nearly losing his life - twice. There are several over-arching messages in this episode. You'll come to your own conclusions, but I am reminded of the following simple, yet profound thoughts. Life is short. It's never too late. And you can't judge a book by its cover. This episode is sponsored by Douglas Katz and the Katz group of restaurants, Cooking' Genie, and Ohio Wines.

With Russia escalating its attacks on Ukraine, we take a look at the cost of doing business in a warzone. Russian president Vladimir Putin said the strikes in Kyiv and elsewhere in the country are retaliation for Saturday's attack on a bridge between Crimea and Russia.

Rachel Winter, partner and investment manager at Killik and Co talks us through the markets reaction to events in Ukraine. Japan is preparing to open up its borders to more tourists. But is the economy ready after two years of pandemic-induced isolation? Avi Lugasi from the travel company Windows to Japan in Kyoto gives us all the details.

Seçimlerde 6 milyondan fazla genç ilk kez oy kullanacak. Siyasi partilerin gözü genç seçmende. Candan Yıldız'ın sorularını yanıtlayan CHP Gençlik Kolları Başkanı Gençosman Killik, gençliğin CHP'yi genç bulmadığını söyledi. Yüzüncü yaşını kutlayacak CHP'ye dair algının değişmesi için sahada daha da görünür olmaya çalıştıklarını ifade eden Killik, "Yavaş yavaş bu görüş değişiyor, gençlik kotası bu noktada önemli" dedi. CHP gençlik kollarının İstanbul'da kapı kapı dolaşarak İstanbul Modeli'ni hayata geçireceklerini ifade eden Killik "Önümüzdeki seçimlerde ilk defa oy kullanacak olan 6.3 milyon genç seçmene “Güç sende, senin elinde” mottosuyla kapı kapı gezerek dokunacağız. Biz onları sadece oyları alınacak bir kitle olarak değil, değişim konusunda rol alacak kişiler olarak görüyoruz" diye konuştu. Gençlerin en önemli taleplerinin özgürlük, liyakat ve adil paylaşım olduğunu ifade Gençosman Killik, CHP Genel Başkanı Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu'nun gençlere seslenen videoların karşılık bulduğunu belirtti. "Gençler siyaseti yaşlı buluyor. Siyasetin zenginleşmek için kullanılan bir kurum olmasından rahatsız diyen" Killik, gençlerin CHP'yi de genç bulmadığını ama algının yavaş yavaş değiştiğini söyledi. Kendisini "solcu" olarak tanımlayan Killik, "Konya'da büyüdüm. Sosyalizmin Alfabesi ve Gazap Üzümleri kitaplarını okuyarak dünya görüşüm değişti" diye aktardı. 19 Mart 2022 yayını

The galaxy is at war. Thirty years after the fall of the Empire, the First Order has continued Palpatine's conquest of the universe, and destroyed the New Republic with a superweapon in deep space.Although General Organa's Resistance destroyed the weapon, the threat of Starkiller Base did not diminish.

Welcome to the 27th CONKERS’ CORNER recorded on the 5th August 2016. In this interview I have the pleasure of speaking with @PaulJKavanagh1 Paul Kavanagh the CEO and founder of Patronus Partner: a discerning, accessible investment management and stockbroking service that provides a comprehensive approach to investment management. Paul grew up in Shenfield in Essex where, as a young boy doing his paper round he shrewdly noticed, “big houses took the Financial Times”. This married to his love of maths led to him being very keen to leave school without even pursuing A levels, which he was more than capable of doing. He instead took an opportunistic leap into the City of London as a sixteen year old, taking his first job with Extel Financial (EXTEL), where he started off with administration tasks. However within eight months Paul alongside colleagues in the U.S, were tasked with building a Mergers & Acquisitions (MNA) database. Having successfully put the database together his bosses tasked the then eighteen year old Paul, with selling the database and service to all the major institutions in the City of London. This led to Paul holding meetings with all the major partners in the City in the late 80’s and early 90’s. To put this into context, it would be the equivalent of a teenager holding court with a combination of the today’s Anthony Bolton, Neil Woodford and Gervais Williams and many others, on a daily basis! Through his work with the EXTEL MNA research database, Paul ended up providing due diligence on potential acquisition opportunities. It was through this connection that he met Paul Killik and Matthew Orr, the founders of Killik & Co. He joined that firm in 1993, becoming Partner shortly after and enjoying 21 years there. During that time, the firm grew significantly and spawned other businesses including 7 Investment Management, Raymond James Investment Services and Killik Employee Share Services. Paul’s role at the firm included managing clients and assisting the build of Killik Capital, leading the research offering and providing media presence. On a personal level Paul is a high conviction and high risk investor who prefers to invest in AIM stocks. He is often looking for special situations and trading opportunities which will provide him with significant returns. Paul has spent most of his career in the stockbroking industry. With a natural interest in stock market investing, he spent five years writing for the Sunday Times Money section, discussing over one hundred individual businesses in some detail during the 1990’s. Paul went on to be a regular contributor on the investment conference circuit and in the media with the BBC, CNBC, Bloomberg and Sky News. Paul formed Patronus Partners Ltd http://www.patronuspartners.com/ in January 2015 with two former Killik & Co colleagues, Kareem Khouri and John Prior, each of whom has extensive experience in investment management and stockbroking services. Listen now to gain insights into how Paul invests and learn from the lessons in his successful and insightful investing journey.

Choosing between a hospital or home birth is one of the key decisions you will face as a pregnant mama. Making choices around your birth can feel a little overwhelming. It can be easy to procrastinate on this and put it off. But actually, that's the last thing you should do, because once you start getting your head around things, you realise that there's actually quite a lot for you to consider. It's not like you have a bunch of inconsequential decisions to make. Each decision you're faced with has the potential to have quite an impact depending on how things go. But whichever way things end up going on the day, you will need to live with your decisions. So for the sake of your future feelings about your birth, I would urge you to spend the time up front getting savvy on things so that you feel well-enough informed on the various aspects of birth. No-one else is responsible for the birth of your baby other than you and your partner; your responsibility for the little one start now. Hospital or home birth? In today's podcast, I want to help you think through the hospital or home birth dilemma. To help me, I'm going to be joined by Sonia Killik. Sonia is the author of the book Birth {f**k yeah!} in which she urges and empowers expectant mothers to take back control of their bodies and their births. In a medicated world dominated by caesareans, interventions and impersonality, this step-by-step guide navigates the world of pregnancy and birth. It provides an in-depth account of all the options available to expectant women – from midwives and doulas, home and hospital births, and all the drugs and interventions in between – leaving the reader fully-equipped, knowledgeable and ready to take on nature’s biggest and most rewarding challenge – to bring a baby into this world. During our chat, Sonia draws on a lot of the research that she carried out as part of the writing for her book. One thing is clear: she desperately wants to arm you with the facts so that you can make a decision that's right for you. By sharing her own personal experience of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding, this book is an honest, empowering and highly readable guideline to childbirth; Learn about each birthing method available to you How your birthing choice effects your baby and yourself Pre and post birth guides and support Breastfeeding and formula choices I have to warn you though, Sonia and I are both pretty passionate when it comes to birth and helping women to be informed and feel empowered about their birth, and we did have a few rants! But I hope that in doing we help you to figure out what feels more appropriate for you: hospital or home birth. Sonia was a true super-star on the podcast too because she came armed with a ton of facts and statistics around birth, and I hope that this helps you when trying to navigate all this when it comes to chossing between a hospital or home birth. But that's not all. She's also provided a load of extra FREE goodies to help you on your pregnancy and birthing journey, but I'll tell you about those in a bit. We covered so much during our chat, including the difference between a hospital birth and a home birth some statistics on the the level interventions encountered during hospital births versus home births statistics on the safety of home birth why a clinical or hospital environment is not conducive to birth important considerations for a hospital or home birth the need to consider birth holistically when making your birth choices how some birth choices impact you and your baby over the long-term, and why it's important to bear long-term impact in mind insights into how care providers within the hospital environment might be approaching birth why striving for a natural birth doesn't mean that you get it why she considers birth to be a conscious journey the importance of not judging yourself for how things ultimately pan out,
