In wellness visits, primary care doctors have a few minutes with patients to check in about various issues related to their health, including smoking, drinking, medications and exercise.Some physicians have added gun safety to the list. The move stems from the perspective, shared by the Minnesota Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other groups, that gun violence is a public health crisis.Dr. Thomas Kottke has been surveying doctors about their experiences speaking with patients about gun storage. Kottke is HealthPartners' medical director for wellbeing and a board member of the group Protect Minnesota, which advocates for firearm restrictions and violence prevention programs. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer talked with him about what he's heard from physicians and what lessons he's drawn from tobacco prevention.

He released his first record on the Oblivion label in 1969 … and just 2 years later he signed on with Capitol Records … it was 1971 he was just 25 years old. Kottke produces instrumental songs, mostly…. but on a few songs he adds his vocals. I selected the instrumental songs because I believe these best showcase his unique guitar and arrangement talent. For his guitars, Kottke uses signature Taylor 12-string and Taylor 6 string.. Kottke plays guitar by an innovative style of fingerpicking, and his style is considered “unconventional”. His style enables the mimicking of a rhythm section, His genres of music include jazz, rock, bluegrass, classical, and folk. Kottke has also been “Different” as far his guitar tuning. He's used different variations ranging from open tuning to tuning his guitar two steps below the traditional tuning.  This produces a full and warm guitar sound. When Kottke was younger, he suffered significant hearing loss from two events - -  first from a firecracker incident as a youngster, and later during live-fire exercises while serving in the Naval Reserves. He was inducted into the Guitar Player Hall of Fame in 1978 and scored two Grammy nominations --- 1988 and 1991 Kottke has released 40 records in 40 year period.

In this Silicon Valley Tech & AI episode presented by GSD Venture Studios Gary Fowler interviews Daniel Kottke. Guest: DK was a close friend of Steve Jobs at Reed College and was the first employee of Apple, building & testing Apple-1's in the Jobs' garage in 1976. He was at Apple 8 years, as a technician on the Apple-II, Apple-III and a co-designer of the Macintosh 1981-4. He's been involved with a dozen startups since, including Greenleaf Science/Areca Science (physio. data mon.), Lucidity Inst., Gen'l Magic, Silicon Gaming, Vertical Networks. The ill-fated Hobergs Resort project 2010-2014 led to immersion in IoT and smarthome tech and in recent years a focus on smarthome integration for co-living/eldercare markets. Kottke's early friendship and trip to India in 1974 with Steve Jobs will be the focus of an upcoming memoir.

Daniel Kottke met Steve Jobs during the first couple of weeks while at Reed College. They became friends after Kottke introduced Jobs to spirituality which later included them going to India in search of enlightenment. Kottke shares how he was Apple's first part-time employee, worked in the now infamous garage of Jobs' parents and the early history behind Apple. In this episode we get to hear the true story about Jobs and the early years of Apple from another perspective and it is fascinating!! Another big myrony is how Daniel and Alysha met from two chance meetings which the latest one was thanks to last week's guest Ernest White II. As we know there are no coincidences so was their meeting so he could share his story here? We believe so because “That's Myrony”!! About the Guest:Kottke was a friend of Steve Jobs at Reed College, where their shared interest in eastern spirituality led them to make a 4-month journey to india in 1974. Daniel built Apple-1's in the Jobs garage in 1976, worked on the Apple II production line 1977-8, built prototypes of the Apple-III 1979-80, built prototypes of the Mac 1981-84 and was a contributing engineer to the original Macintosh128.He worked at a dozen start-ups in the years 1985-2008 before focusing more on real estate since 2009. Hosted and produced the local cable show The Next Step 2005-2012 - shows on themes mostly related to consciousness or culture. Still involved in real estate but in recent years very focused on creating smart-home solutions for the multi-tenant and elder-care sectors.Also in recent years he's been building the kilotunes.com collection of pop/RnR song charts (lyrics + chords) numbering over 2000 songs now. Contact: linkedin.com/in/danielkottkeTwitter: @dkottke About the Hosts:Alysha Myronuk is the creator of the fun new word of myrony (my+irony) which are the crazy coincidences that happen in life that we can't explain and is also another word for sign/synchronicity. Her life was fairly normal until she got into a car accident that triggered fibromyalgia at the age of 18 and had to deal with that very painful chronic condition along with many other life challenges including loss of both parents, marriage, divorce, suicide attempts, alcohol and prescription drug abuse and a full hysterectomy by the time she was 35. Alysha's strong spiritual connection and tenacity is what helped her through those very dark days that lead into years at times. Later she realized the reason she went through those trying times was so she could help others struggling with life's challenges and share the understanding of how to move forward.She now lives in San Jose, CA but still considers herself an East Coast girl at heart after growing up in Northern New Jersey and living in Delaware, Maryland and DC area for her entire life until she moved to California 8 years ago in 6 days which is a part of her myronic journey that helped her tap into her super power that she calls her “Spiritual Spidey Sense”. Thanks to her many careers which include hospitality & sales has allowed her to meet and work with so many different people but she is extremely excited to now be following her calling in life of sharing her concept of myrony by co-hosting “That's Myrony” Podcast (www.ThatsMyrony.com/podcast-1) and also helping others through her spiritual coaching business “My Myrony” Mentoring where she is able to use her psychic gift of “knowing” also known as claircognizance to help...

This week we're excited to share our conversation with Jason Fried. As many of you know already, Jason is the Co-Founder of Basecamp – one of the world's leading software applications for communication and team productivity. He is also the co-author of "Rework", "Getting Real", "Remote" and most recently "It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work". Jason is a brilliant communicator and was a pleasure to talk to. We dive into things like his decision making process, the state of tech as an industry, downsides of remote work and much, much more. One of the things I believe attracts people to Jason's work is that he is honest, straightforward and clearly very knowledgeable. As a result, he's got a refreshingly original take on most things. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Please make sure you follow Jason on Twitter at @jasonfried and check out his writing on the Basecamp Blog: Signal vs Noise. Also, check out their latest book – Shapeup, which is (in typical Basecamp fashion), available online for free. Find it here.

We were thrilled to have Jason Kottke join us on the podcast this week. Jason has been honored by Wired as one of the people who “have shaped the future we live in today,” was the designer of the long-lasting Gawker logo, helped create Buzzfeed, and is currently continuing to blog at the same site he's been maintaining since 1998, Kottke.org.
