In this bonus Kitchen Table episode, host Carol Roper shares her personal story of how God called her into ministry at just 29 years old — and the 30+ years of twists, turns, and seasons of confusion that followed as she pursued that calling. Carol opens up about what it feels like to sense the tug of the Holy Spirit pulling you toward something deeper, even when the path forward isn't clear. If you've ever wondered whether you're truly hearing from God or questioned the direction of your own calling, this episode offers honesty, encouragement, and practical courage for the journey — along with a reminder that the most important calling of all is a deep relationship with God Himself. Carol also shares an invitation to the Flourish Retreat, an upcoming retreat for women seeking community, clarity, and closer relationship with God in this season of life.

In this first Kitchen Table episode of the fall season, we ask a question if we knew how hard it would be would we do it anyway? Through a personal story of chasing a dream career, hitting financial hardship building a small business, and crying out to God for a way out, this episode explores what happens when an answered prayer doesn't look like relief — and how perseverance, faith, and trust can turn a struggling season into the very thing that shapes your character and calling. If you're a woman pursuing a dream that keeps hitting obstacles, this conversation will help you see your struggle in a completely different light. We also talk about Flourish, an upcoming retreat for women navigating seasons of transition, obstacle, and purpose — because no one should have to carry a hard season alone.

On this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Mark and Matt welcome back Zach Johnston, Chief Brand Officer and Senior Vice President of International Sales at Blackwood Distilling Co,, for a wide-ranging conversation about how the brand has grown and evolved since his last appearance on the show nearly two years ago. Zach breaks down Blackwood's approach to whiskey, including its unique one-to-one rebarreling process using new toasted Kelvin barrels and the philosophy behind creating a more complete, rounded flavor profile without letting the secondary barrel overwhelm the whiskey. He also explains how the Toasted 105 line was developed to offer the same Blackwood character at a more approachable proof and price point while still delivering the depth and finish the brand is known for. The conversation also explores Zach's path from restaurants, bars, travel, and spirits writing into the whiskey business, as well as Blackwood's expansion beyond Kentucky into additional U.S. markets. Zach discusses the realities of building an international sales strategy in a constantly changing trade environment and why identifying new opportunities and being willing to pivot have become essential for growing brands. Closer to home, Zach talks about Blackwood's move into Lexington, including its bottle shop and tasting room, and the launch of the Blackwood Barrel Association. He explains how the program gives members access to special bottles, early releases, unique merchandise, and more personal tasting experiences while creating a stronger connection between the brand and its supporters. Zach also gives Mark and Matt a look at what's coming next from Blackwood, including Fifty/50, a collaboration with Germany's Stork Club that combines German rye with Blackwood Toasted Barrel Strength Rye, and Country House, an upcoming 12-year, non-toasted bourbon release that marks a new direction for the brand. And, of course, they taste and review three Blackwood expressions, including: ·         Blackwood Toasted 105 Bourbon ·         Blackwood Toasted 105 Rye ·         Blackwood Toasted Rye Barrel Strength It's a fun, informative conversation about toasted whiskey, thoughtful blending, building a premium brand, navigating a changing bourbon market, and what's ahead for Blackwood Distilling.

On this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by VisitLEX, Mark sits down with first-time guest Zane Brammell, founder of New Era Whiskey & Social Club, for a fun conversation about how a Lexington barrel club grew into a whiskey brand built around single barrels, storytelling, and community. Zane shares his path from working in healthcare and through the COVID years to discovering bourbon through time spent with his stepfather. That interest quickly turned into a passion for barrel picks and eventually a local barrel club that grew from a few hundred members to nearly 3,000 before inspiring him to take the next step and create New Era. They dig into the story behind the brand, including the newspaper-inspired labels, the headline concept, and Zane's love of physical media and creative storytelling. Zane also explains the principles behind New Era's whiskey program: sourcing whiskey at a minimum of eight years old, bottling at cask strength, and keeping every release single barrel. He also talks about the hands-on approach to selecting barrels and why making the barrel-pick experience fun and personal is such an important part of the brand. The conversation also turns to the newly opened New Era Distillery and Social Club in Lexington. Zane talks about the community-first vision behind the space, the strong turnout for the grand opening, and how Social Club members receive specially selected monthly bottles while also having a place to gather, taste, and connect. He also shares how the Social Club gives New Era another way to use its labels to tell meaningful personal stories. Mark and Zane also look ahead to continued growth for New Era, including plans to expand into additional states in 2027 while continuing to work with retailers, clubs, and groups on unique single-barrel selections. And, of course, they taste and review three different New Era single-barrel picks, including: ·         New Era 1st & Market Kentucky Straight Bourbon – 8 Year ·         New Era Warriors Rise for Princess Nyla Rye – 14 Year ·         New Era Midnight Flight Kentucky Straight Bourbon – 19 Year   It's a wide-ranging conversation about finding community through bourbon, building a brand from the ground up, creating memorable single-barrel experiences, and giving every bottle a story worth telling.

On this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by VisitLEX, Damon Thayer and Andre Regard, co-founders of Kentucky Senator Bourbon, return to the show for another fun conversation about the continued growth of the brand, their newest releases, and what's ahead.   Damon and Andre catch Mark up on some big changes for Kentucky Senator Bourbon, including moving much of their storage and bottling operations to Bardstown Bourbon Company, launching an online store that can ship to 46 states, and continuing to expand their presence at bourbon festivals and events.   They also talk about their deliberate approach to growing the brand, an inventory that now includes more than 700 barrels aging at four Kentucky distilleries, and why they remain committed to producing traditional, age-stated Kentucky bourbon.   The guys also dive into the stories behind two of their recent releases. Damon shares the personal connection behind the 8.5-year-old Jim Bunning release, honoring his longtime political mentor and the former U.S. Senator who helped establish September as National Bourbon Heritage Month. Andre talks about taking Kentucky Senator Bourbon back to his Louisiana roots with the 8-year-old Huey P. Long Louisiana Senator release and their plans to follow it with Rose Long and Russell Long releases, creating a unique three-bottle family vertical. They also look ahead at the new Thoroughbred Legacy Series, a single-barrel program inspired by Damon and Andre's longtime connections to Kentucky's horse industry, and reflect on just how far Kentucky Senator Bourbon has come since its first release in 2021.   To bring things full circle, they revisit that original 15-year-old Alben W. Barkley Bourbon and the unforgettable story of transporting the whiskey across Lexington during an ice storm so they could get their first bottles into commerce. And, of course, they taste and review three different Kentucky Senator Bourbon expressions, including:   • Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning Bourbon – 8.5 Year • Louisiana Senator Huey P. Long Bourbon – 8 Year • Kentucky Senator Alben W.

On this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by The 1933 Society, Denny Potter and Jane Bowie, co-founders of Potter Jane Distilling Company, return for another fun and candid conversation about building their distillery, changing course, and what comes next for Potter Jane. Mark and Matt catch up with Denny and Jane about the launch of Big Vat Liar, the sourced Kentucky bourbon that playfully acknowledges their earlier declaration that Potter Jane would never source whiskey. They explain why they changed their minds, the story behind the tongue-in-cheek name and launch, and how Jane's vatting process uses custom large-format oak casks, oxidation, time, and blending to create additional depth and complexity. The conversation also turns to Potter Jane's own whiskey, including a taste of 16-month-old wheated bourbon from some of their earliest production. Denny and Jane discuss what they're learning as the barrels mature, the importance of mouthfeel and flavor development, and their evolving plans for future Potter Jane releases as they work toward older, fully mature whiskey. And, of course, they taste and review three different expressions, including: ·         Potter Jane Big Vat Liar (Batch 3) ·         Potter Jane 16-Month-Old Wheated Bourbon ·         1973 Old Stone Gate Kentucky Straight Bourbon It's a wide-ranging conversation about sourcing, blending, patience, experimentation, and the realities of creating a distillery and whiskey portfolio with a long-term, generational vision.

On this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by Repeal Oak Fired Steakhouse, Mark and Matt are joined by John Wadell, Head Taster, Blender, and Single Barrel Curator at Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co., for a long-overdue return to the show. Recording from the Kentucky Peerless Suite at Hotel Distil in Louisville, John catches them up on how his role has evolved and reflects on his journey from the early days of Peerless to helping guide the whiskey the distillery is producing today. John talks about the growth of his palate over the past decade, the collaborative tasting and blending process at Peerless, and how the team decides which barrels become batches, single barrels, or special releases. He also shares the fun behind naming Peerless single barrels, discusses the success of the High Rye Bourbon, and explains why the distillery's sweet mash process, non-chill filtration, and focus on mouthfeel remain such important parts of the Peerless identity. The conversation also turns to a major milestone for the distillery: the release of Henry Kraver's 10-Year Bourbon. John shares what it was like tasting through roughly 200 barrels to select the final group for the release and why working with whiskey he remembers filling and rolling years ago made the experience especially meaningful. He also looks ahead to the 10-Year Rye planned for next year, the possibility of older age-stated releases and single barrels, and some intriguing older Double Oak barrels still aging in the Peerless inventory. Along the way, Mark, Matt, and John taste and review "The Phoenix," a 108.5-proof Kentucky Peerless Double Barrel Rye Single Barrel selected for Repeal Steakhouse and Hotel Distil. They talk through its oak, rye spice, citrus, toffee, chocolate, coffee, and malty notes while John explains Peerless' unique approach to Double Oak whiskey—letting the palate, rather than a fixed timetable, determine when each barrel is ready. It's a fun, wide-ranging conversation about whiskey, patience, blending, the evolution of Kentucky Peerless, and what comes next for one of Louisville's most distinctive family-owned distilleries. Pour yourself a great glass, sit back, and join us for another great episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast.

On this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Mark travels to Louisville to sit down with Steve Smith, Founder of Uncle Boojie's Distilling Co., for a captivating conversation about family history, Kentucky heritage, and the role bourbon plays in connecting us to the stories that came before us. Steve shares his own background as an entrepreneur, preservationist, and storyteller before diving into the remarkable history of his Howard family ancestors, whose distilling roots in Howardstown, Kentucky, date back to the late 1700s. He discusses the research that uncovered generations of family involvement in whiskey production and how that discovery ultimately inspired the creation of Uncle Boojie's Distilling Co. The conversation also explores the origins of Uncle Boojie's, the story behind the company's namesake, and Steve's vision for creating something far greater than a bourbon brand. Through the concept of "Porchlight Hospitality," Steve explains how Uncle Boojie's seeks to create meaningful experiences that bring people together through bourbon, storytelling, and genuine Kentucky hospitality. Mark and Steve also discuss the importance of preserving family history, the fascinating ways our individual stories intersect with one another, and how bourbon serves as a thread that weaves throughout Kentucky's shared history and culture. Steve shares his passion for helping visitors discover not only his family's story, but also connections to their own histories and the larger story of Kentucky itself. The conversation concludes with a look at Uncle Boojie's Homeplace, one of the newest destinations on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®, and what guests can expect when they visit the unique Louisville experience. Along the way, they enjoy three exceptional pours: • Lana – 9-Year-Old Double Oaked Single Barrel Bourbon • Ivy – 7-Year-Old Single Barrel Rye • Prohibition-Style Bourbon – Yet to be released Whether you're fascinated by bourbon history, passionate about genealogy and family heritage, or simply enjoy hearing the stories behind the people and brands shaping Kentucky whiskey today, this episode offers a thoughtful and entertaining look at how bourbon, history, and human connection continue to intertwine across generations.

Max Learmonth was a professional rugby player who fell into recruitment by accident. He answered one trainee ad at Robert Half, started two weeks later, and never looked back.He climbed fast. £180,000 in his first year, £300,000 in his second, then off the tools rebuilding offices for a global giant. But somewhere in the grind, he lost himself. 'I'd become an arsehole,' he says. 'A typical Wolf of Wall Street recruitment dickhead. All I cared about was what my P&L looked like.'In May 2023, with a young daughter at home, he finally made the move and started again from his kitchen table. He turned down over £500,000 of investment to keep it 100% his. The plan was narrow on purpose: finance and accounting recruitment in the North West, and nothing else.Three years on, Forge Talent is a team of 16 that did £2.4 million in net fee income last year, entirely bootstrapped, built on a single stubborn belief: relationships, not transactions.On this episode of The RAG Podcast, Max breaks down exactly how he did it, the one KPI his whole business runs on each week, and why he thinks the average recruiter is finished while the specialist is only getting started.Max is not building the biggest recruitment business in the country. He is building the most dominant finance and accounting firm the North West has ever seen, and he already has a date on the exit.The difference is that he is doing it in the open, on his own terms, with a team of 16 who all know exactly what the 10-year goal is.If you have ever wondered whether going smaller and more specific is actually the smartest way to grow in the age of AI, this episode is evidence of that idea working right now.The Season 9 finale with Max Learmonth of Forge Talent is available now.----------------------------------------------Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time. That's why there's Atlas, a CRM that actually understands context.Atlas captures everything you say, hear, read and write. Every interview, every client call, every LinkedIn message, email and WhatsApp, automatically. Not because you typed it up, but because Atlas was listening. Then it goes one step further and tells you the next action to take.So when you need to fill a role, People Search ranks your best candidates and tells you why, no digging required. That same memory turns your BD into a shortlist of exactly who to chase and why, so you win more clients. And when you want to see your pipeline, you just speak to your dashboards and Atlas builds the view for you in real time, tracking only what you care about.Whether you place permanent or contract, Atlas covers both. Its Contract Suite means you never chase a timesheet again, with live margin visibility across every placement. And with its new MCP and API, Atlas plugs straight into your LLMs and the rest of your stack, so the low-value admin that keeps you from billing gets done for you.This is not theory. Atlas customers are seeing 50% higher candidate response rates, a 35% increase in new clients won, 15+ hours saved every week, and monthly billings jumping by 85%. Some agencies are hitting 130% of their annual revenue target after building their business around Atlas.So if you're thinking you need to bolt AI onto your CRM, don't bother. Take a look at Atlas instead.Head to https://recruitwithatlas.com/therag/ to find out more.----------------------------------------------Episode Sponsor: HoxoEvery recruitment founder is investing in LinkedIn, but AI has turned templated posts and outreach into a commodity.

For years, policymakers have looked at military family issues through separate lenses; housing, employment, health care or mental health. But a new study suggests families experience those challenges as an integrated whole. And when those pressures build, the consequences extend beyond the household and into military readiness itself.

Paul arrives in Corinth tired and apparently discouraged, and God meets him through ordinary friends and ordinary work sewing tents before any vision comes. We also meet Priscilla and Aquila, a married couple who quietly pull a gifted preacher aside and fill in what his theology was missing. Not everyone in the kingdom stands on a stage; much of the work that matters happens at a kitchen table. This chapter is good news for anyone who has wondered whether their behind-the-scenes service counts.  The Rev. John Shank, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Edwardsville, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 18:1-28. To learn more about Trinity in Edwardsville, visit trinitylutheranministries.org. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

SPONSORED BY NURP Nurp is algorithmic trading designed specifically for busy professionals who don't have time to watch markets. Check out start.nurp.com/doctors  to learn more. --- This week on BS Free MD, Dr. Tim Hindmarsh and Dr. May Hindmarsh tackle another round of bizarre headlines, questionable medical practices, and stories that leave more questions than answers. From a McDonald's employee facing prison time after contaminating food, to an inmate claiming his life sentence ended when he briefly died, the conversation quickly shifts into much deeper territory—including an explosive lawsuit involving an experimental RSV vaccine dating back to the 1960s. The hosts also answer a listener question about a concierge medical practice performing blood draws from a residential home, leading to an important discussion about transparency, medical professionalism, and how patients can protect themselves when choosing healthcare providers. As always, expect humor, strong opinions, and a healthy dose of skepticism. In This Episode The decline of corporate Pride Month sponsorships A bizarre McDonald's drive-thru contamination case Why social media encourages people to document terrible decisions Can your prison sentence end if your heart stops? The history of the failed 1960s RSV vaccine trials Vaccine-associated antibody enhancement explained Allegations surrounding informed consent and historical vaccine research Government oversight, pharmaceutical accountability, and public trust Direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising Listener Question: Is "kitchen table medicine" legitimate? How to research your healthcare provider before becoming a patient Concierge medicine, transparency, and laboratory testing concerns Key Takeaways Social media often rewards impulsive behavior with lasting real-world consequences. Historical medical research continues to influence today's discussions around informed consent and ethics. Patients should understand where laboratory testing is performed and how medical services are billed. Transparency builds trust in healthcare, while secrecy erodes it. Taking a few minutes to verify a provider's credentials and disciplinary history can prevent significant problems later. Listener Question A listener describes receiving laboratory testing inside what appeared to be a private residence through a concierge medical practice. Dr. Tim and Dr. May discuss: Whether home-based blood draws can be legal Why transparency about laboratory fees matters Questions every patient should ask before testing How to verify medical licenses and board actions Why patients should feel comfortable requesting independent laboratory services Doc Tales with Cocktails This week's stories include: A McDonald's employee arrested after intentionally contaminating fries. A convicted murderer who argued his life sentence ended when he temporarily died. Discussion surrounding a lawsuit connected to 1960s RSV vaccine research and informed consent. The hosts' humorous take on pharmaceutical commercials and late-night medical advertising.

Everyone in your life thinks your book would make a great movie, play, or video game. But adaptation isn't a copy-paste job because every medium solves storytelling problems differently. This week, we put one scene through four different mediums to see what each one reveals about craft, whether or not you ever plan on adapting anything.

Greetings, Lowdowners—Deanna here!Last week we gave you the pesticide hearing story — Willie Nelson, Barbara Jordan, and a fight Hightower and his team won by building a movement before he ever needed the movie stars. This week, we're going back further. All the way back to where the whole populist tradition in this country actually started.Here's Hightower telling it: in the 1870s, four farmers in Lampasas, Texas, were getting squeezed out of existence. Railroads gouging them on getting crops to market. Bankers gouging them on their mortgages. So they did the only thing they could — they sat down around a kitchen table and started talking about it.That conversation didn't stay in Lampasas. It spread to neighboring counties, then across Texas, then into 43 states. It elected U.S. senators and members of Congress. It built cooperative banks and grain storage so farmers didn't have to sell at the bottom of the market just to survive. Historians call it the Populist Movement. Hightower calls it people figuring out they had to organize or get run over.We're telling you this story right now for a reason. Tonight, Hightower's on the main stage at the Texas Democratic Convention, introducing a candidate he's worked with for years: Clayton Tucker, who's running for the same office Hightower once held — Texas Agriculture Commissioner.Clayton's from Lampasas.No one planned that. Texas just keeps producing people who grow up with that kitchen table in their blood and decide to do something about the Powers That Be. Clayton's campaign is built around the same basic fight those four farmers were having: rural Texans getting run over by power they have no say in. Corporate data centers draining water and electricity from small towns that never got a say. Federal regulators sitting on tools Texas ranchers need right now to fight the New World Screwworm, leaving the state to fight it understaffed and underequipped while the threat spreads. Different villains, same basic math — somebody with more power than you, making decisions about your land and your livelihood from somewhere else.Almost a hundred and fifty years on, same county, new fights, same fight.This is the kind of connection-the-dots storytelling our paid subscribers get from us regularly — the history that explains the present, not just the outrage of the week. If you've been thinking about upgrading, this is a good week for it.Thanks for being in the fight with us, as always!Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Ashley Barnes is back for her fourth appearance on The Bourbon Life Podcast, and as always, she brings plenty of insight, honesty, and exceptional whiskey along for the ride. Matt and Mark catch up with Ashley to discuss her recent departure from The Spirits Group and her exciting new chapter as an independent blending consultant, while continuing her role as Master Blender for The Blending House. Ashley shares what this transition means for her career, the opportunities it creates, and why she's more excited than ever about the future of whiskey. The conversation then turns to one of the most anticipated bourbon releases of the year—Jacob Spears Bourbon. Named in honor of one of Kentucky's earliest distillers, the whiskey was distilled by Bourbon Hall of Famer Jim Rutledge and blended by Ashley. Matt and Mark even have the unique opportunity to taste and weigh in on two different small batch blend variations before discussing the final direction of the brand, along with a standout single barrel expression. Ashley also previews the upcoming Grand Slam Bourbon Fest, taking place August 27 at League Stadium in Huntingburg, Indiana, where bourbon and baseball come together to celebrate America's 250th Anniversary with an unforgettable day of great whiskey, great history, and great fun. And, of course, no episode of The Bourbon Life would be complete without a lineup of incredible pours.

What if the U.S. government were just a family sitting at your kitchen table? In this episode, we shrink the entire federal budget down by a factor of 100 million and meet a family that earns $52,000 a year, spends $70,000, and already owes $390,000 — with nearly one of every five dollars they earn going straight to interest. Then we reveal who that family really is.   From there, we unpack the real story behind the $39 trillion national debt: where it came from (the last federal surplus was all the way back in 2001), what today's record interest costs mean for the broader economy, and — most important — what it all means for your investments and the richer life you're building. No fear-mongering, no politics, no jargon — just a clear, honest look and five level-headed moves you can actually use.   In this episode: The $390,000 family at the kitchen table Deficit vs. debt — what they actually mean How we got here: the last surplus was 2001 What it means for the U.S. economy What it means for YOUR investments Five level-headed moves you can make Wrap-up

In this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Matt and Mark welcome back fan-favorite guest David Mandell, Co-Founder and CEO of Whiskey House of Kentucky, for his fourth appearance on the show. Joining him for the first time is Ryan Poe, Distillery Senior Manager and Head of Innovation at Whiskey House of Kentucky, making not only his Bourbon Life debut, but his very first podcast appearance. The conversation begins with Ryan sharing his background and the journey that ultimately led him to Whiskey House, where innovation isn't just a buzzword - it's a core part of the company's DNA. David and Ryan discuss how Whiskey House's unique approach to contract distilling and product development allows them to tackle projects that many distilleries simply can't, while also navigating the challenges facing today's whiskey market. The discussion then turns to one of the most exciting and ambitious spirits projects to hit the market in recent years: SHANG Whiskey. David and Ryan take listeners behind the scenes of this groundbreaking collaboration between Maritime Brands, True Essence Foods, Guìzhōu Guótái Shùzhì Liquor Group, Whiskey House, and The Blending House. They explore the rich history of Jiang Xiang Baijiu in China, the remarkably complex process used to produce it, and how that centuries-old tradition became the foundation for an entirely new whiskey category. Listeners will also get an inside look at the creation of SHANG East + West, a first-of-its-kind whiskey that blends American red sorghum whiskey developed by Whiskey House with Jiang Xiang Baijiu, creating a truly unique expression that bridges Eastern and Western distilling traditions. And, of course, no episode of The Bourbon Life would be complete without a tasting. Matt, Mark, David, and Ryan sip and review three exceptional pours, including E.H. Taylor Single Barrel in honor of Ryan's time at Buffalo Trace, along with the brand-new SHANG Dan Yu Whiskey and SHANG East + West Whiskey. Whether you're fascinated by innovation, curious about the future of whiskey, or simply looking to learn about one of the most unique spirits projects ever brought to market, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at creativity, collaboration, and category creation in the whiskey world. This Episode is sponsored by District 7 Social and The Kitchen Table at the James B. Beam Distilling Co.

In this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Matt and Mark sit down with Reece Sims, Founder of Flavor Camp and a judge for the prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), for a fascinating conversation about flavor, spirits evaluation, and one of the most respected competitions in the world of whiskey. The conversation begins with Reece sharing her unique journey into the world of sensory analysis, education, and spirits, and how that path ultimately led her to create Flavor Camp, an innovative program designed to help people better understand flavor and develop their tasting skills. She also discusses how her passion for sensory evaluation opened the door to becoming an IWSC judge and what it means to be selected for such an esteemed role. Across three segments, Reece pulls back the curtain on the IWSC, explaining its global reputation, the rigorous judging process, and what a typical day looks like for judges tasked with evaluating some of the finest spirits from around the world. She also shares her personal approach to judging, how she strives for objectivity, and what separates truly exceptional spirits from the rest of the field. Of course, no Bourbon Life episode would be complete without a tasting. In a fun and entertaining twist, Matt and Mark put Reece's palate to the test with a blind tasting featuring three whiskies that recently earned the coveted Gold Outstanding designation at the IWSC North American Spirits Competition held in Kentucky. Did one of the competition's own judges identify the award-winning pours? You'll have to tune in to find out. Whether you're a seasoned whiskey enthusiast, an aspiring taster, or simply curious about how the world's best spirits are judged, this episode offers an engaging behind-the-scenes look at the art and science of tasting.

#135Josh sits down with chef and sommelier Sandia Chang for a conversation that spans 20 years of restaurants on both sides of the Atlantic. From her start on the fish station at Bouley in 2003, to four years at Per Se under Thomas Keller, to a stint at Noma in Copenhagen alongside her now-husband James Knappett, Sandia eventually landed in London where the two opened Bubble Dogs (a champagne and hot dog bar on Charlotte Street) and Kitchen Table, now a two Michelin star restaurant. Along the way she became one of the UK's most knowledgeable voices on grower champagne and built Bubble Shop, her online platform for small-family producers most operators have never heard of.The conversation moves between the two service philosophies that defined her path. Per Se's "yes to everything" approach, where the team would prepare a different potato for Mick Jagger with every course, and Noma's "we will not make a cocktail because we are not great at making cocktails" approach. Sandia explains why both are right and how she's blended them at Kitchen Table. They dig into why simple food like a hot dog is harder to execute than a 20 course tasting menu, what actually changes when you get your second Michelin star (spoiler: the box checkers show up), the economics and politics of importing grower champagne into the UK, and the truth about running a restaurant with your spouse. It closes with the advice Sandia gave at the end: you don't go into something because you know what to do, you go into something because you want to learn how to do it.Links and resources

FREE Two Day Event: The Farm Marketing Fix - June 2026 Sign Up HERE Episode Summary Julie Hackman raises sheep on Belmont Springs Ranch in Lavina, Montana. She's a mother of 19 children, 8 still at home and homeschooled. And a few years ago, after 30 years of marriage, she lost her husband. For three decades, her husband led the vision for their farm. Julie supported. Then suddenly, she was alone at her kitchen table with a farm to run, little hearts to soothe, and no idea where to begin. In this conversation, Julie shares how joining The Profitable Farmer program helped her triple her meat sales in one year, build the confidence to lead her own business, and rediscover who she is as a farmer, a mother, and a woman. This is one of the most meaningful conversations I've recorded; a story of grief, resilience, and what becomes possible when a woman finally invests in herself. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Julie went from $460 in meat sales to over $1,400 in her first year applying The Profitable Farmer marketing system The specific strategy that helped her triple her email signups at a single homesteaders conference Why "waiting for customers to come to you" is killing your farm sales, and what to do instead How to shift your mindset from passive housewife to confident business leader The exact phrase that helped Julie stop being intimidated by inspectors, vendors, and gatekeepers Why pricing your products at the real cost is an act of service, not greed How to build a family schedule that supports your business instead of derailing it What changes when you start seeing marketing as serving your customers instead of selling to them Key Moments from the Conversation Sitting at the Kitchen Table, Lost Julie shares what was happening in her life when she first encountered Charlotte's free farm marketing workshop — homeschooling her children, grieving the loss of her husband, and feeling completely lost about the direction of her business. The Conference That Changed Everything Julie describes walking into the Modern Homesteaders Conference and going from 14 email signups the previous year to 44 in a single day. Her kids looked at her and said, "Who are you, mom? You're acting like dad." Becoming the Squeaky Wheel The coaching call that changed everything. Julie shares how Charlotte helped her stop being passive with the meat inspector and become "the squeaky wheel" — leading to her wholesale meat license arriving in two weeks instead of months. Tripling Sales in One Year Julie breaks down the actual numbers: from $98 in total sales the year before joining the program to $15,600 in her first year, with meat sales tripling specifically. The Pricing Conversation How Julie sat down with the math, faced the discomfort of charging $17 a pound for lamb, and discovered she was actually charging less than competitors when averaged across all cuts. Marketing as Service The mindset that transformed Julie's selling: "How can I serve one person today?" and how this turned everyday conversations, including with her hairstylist, into customer relationships. Time Management with 8 Kids at Home Julie's brilliant adaptation of the time management system: building one master schedule that includes her entire family, not just herself. Notable Quotes from Julie Hackman "I had not really a clear idea of what I wanted to do or how to do it, and I had no confidence at all." "Are you okay, mom? What happened to you? You're acting like dad." "Now I feel like we're a team. I understand that other people have problems too. It's not so much being the squeaky wheel as just reminding them you're there." "It's a lot more rewarding than just 'I need to go sell meat.' Now it's 'I can go help somebody today.'" "What you're going to get out of it is probably going to be a lot more than what you're going to put into it financially." About Julie Hackman Julie Hackman is the owner of Belmont Springs Ranch in Lavina, Montana, where she raises pasture-based lamb and direct-sells meat to families across the region. She is the mother of 19 children, grandmother of 7, and continues to homeschool the children still at home while running her farm business.

Recorded live at the 7th Annual HVACR Training Symposium, this episode brings together Roman from HVAC School and building science practitioner Brynn for a deep-dive conversation on one of the most pressing challenges in the HVAC industry: how contractors can use building science principles not just to solve problems, but to communicate value and close sales at the kitchen table. With 26 years of industry experience and 15 years of consistently applying building science in his contracting business, Brynn shares the process his team has refined to help homeowners understand their comfort problems — and confidently invest in the right solutions. Central to the conversation is the idea that testing — not guessing — is the foundation of a great HVAC business. Brynn outlines his team's "big three" diagnostic approach: starting with indoor air quality testing, followed by a load calculation using a LIDAR tool, and finishing with a duct evaluation. These three steps give technicians the data they need to tie findings directly to a homeowner's stated concerns. Rather than overwhelming customers with spreadsheets and raw numbers, the goal is to present information in a way that connects with their lived experience — validating that their hot rooms, cold spots, or humidity discomfort are real, measurable problems with real, measurable solutions. Brynn's team can complete a full load calculation in as little as 20 minutes on-site, a capability that routinely impresses homeowners and sets them apart from competitors. The episode also tackles the business case for slowing down. Rather than rushing technicians through six to eight calls a day, Brynn's company reduced daily call volume to two to four, giving technicians time to perform thorough diagnostics. The result? Ticket sales increased, replacement opportunities grew organically, and install callbacks dropped to a remarkable half of one percent, compared to an industry average closer to ten percent. Roman and Brynn agree that adopting building science practices isn't about overhauling your business overnight. The key is to start with one skill — like combustion testing or airflow measurement — master it, embed it in company culture, and build from there. Over time, these small habits compound into a business that delivers on its promises every time. Beyond the technical content, the conversation wraps with a heartfelt discussion about workforce development and the GRIT Foundation, a nonprofit working to reintroduce skilled trades exposure to young people. With shop classes having largely disappeared from schools across the country, Brynn and Roman emphasize the importance of giving children the chance to discover a passion for hands-on work. Brynn's team hosted a GRIT camp in Detroit, and one participant has since enrolled in HVAC college — a reminder that sparking curiosity early can change the trajectory of a young person's life. Contractors interested in Brynn's training programs and building science bootcamps can find more information at HVACTrain.com. Topics Covered The culture and community of the HVACR Symposium and why first-time attendees always come back Why building science can feel intimidating to contractors — and how to simplify it for customer conversations Brynn's "big three" on-site diagnostics: indoor air quality testing, load calculation, and duct evaluation How to ask the right questions first — understanding the customer's pain before running tests Using data to validate homeowner concerns (hot rooms, cold spots, humidity issues) rather than dismissing them Completing a full load calculation in 20 minutes using LiDAR tools and tablet software Presenting test results with third-party references (EPA, American Lung Association) to build trust Why oversized HVAC equipment is the rule, not the exception — and what the data shows across thousands of homes The business case for slowing down: fewer daily calls, better diagnostics, higher ticket sales, fewer callbacks Reducing install callbacks from an industry average of ~10% to just 0.5% through building science practices How to implement building science incrementally: start with one practice, make it a habit, then build from there Using platforms like measureQuick and Smart Probe for ongoing performance verification Mitigating legal and financial risk on larger residential and multi-family projects through proper documentation Building a word-of-mouth reputation that eliminates the need for active marketing The GRIT Foundation: reintroducing skilled trades to young people and inspiring the next generation of HVAC professionals Where to find Brynn's contractor bootcamps, online classes, and workforce development seminars at HVACTrain.com    Learn more about Brynn's education opportunities at https://www.hvactrain.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Illinois State Senator Darby Hills joins host David From to share her path from prosecutor to community advocate—and now, as one of just 19 Republicans in the Illinois Senate, fighting to bring transparency and accountability back to Springfield. Darby explains why Illinois doesn't have a revenue problem—it has a spending problem—and describes what she saw as a new senator: major bills and the state budget dropped with little time to review, late-night votes, and decisions made behind closed doors. She also talks about her work outside government, including founding Barrington Children's Charities to help feed hundreds of kids each week and provide critical services like dental care, mental health support, and eyeglasses. From criminal justice to fiscal responsibility, Darby lays out the “kitchen table” priorities that shaped her—watching her single mom work two jobs and sort bills at home—and the reforms she's pushing now: independent audits, cutting waste, reducing red tape on small businesses, keeping young people in Illinois, and supporting law enforcement to make communities safer.
