Whence Came You? - Freemasonry discussed and Masonic research for today's Freemason
This week we dive into part two of Max Heindel's Ancient and Modern Initiation. Are the terms Immaculate Conception and Annunciation misrepresented in scripture today? Is a tekton more than a builder? Then, we'll hear from Ill. Bro. Harrison in an all-new Masonic Minute. A new school is built, it picked out a name—then abandons the name because it was the name of a Freemason. Ultimately, the school was named after somebody else, but there's a catch. What was it? You have to stay tuned to hear more. We'll wrap it up with a profile in courage—a recent article by Ill. Bro. Steven L. Harrison about the actions of a U.S. president--a Brother who made one of the toughest calls in his life. All this and more, stay dialed in!

Steve Rozenberg is an international commercial Airline Pilot who turned investor after the shock of 9/11 turned his airline career world upside down and the “safe-secure” job was anything but that. This is when he realized he needed to be in control of his own destiny. Since then he has owned dozens of rental properties as well as apartment complexes, he has also flipped and wholesaled hundreds of properties in Houston, Texas. He has written and published 7 E-books, and his most recent literary creation “Building an Empire: Failing our way to Millions” where Steve tells an in-depth recollection of his own Entrepreneurial journey. He has produced over 100 video seminars for its “Owner Education Series” and “Steve Rozenberg On the Road”. Steve is a member of NARPM® Houston and Ft. Worth, TX, CE certified and is a licensed real estate agent. In this episode, we talked about how he started in real estate, how he managed to build a cash-flowing portfolio while working as an airplane pilot, the type of properties he had, how he built a huge property management company and how he and his partner manage their company to be efficient and most importantly, to scale. Quotes: “To me, that is the truest form of leverage is utilizing your skillset. And it's the difference of working in the business to working on the business.” “A truly successful investor that's educated is a contrarian investor, meaning they're going opposite of what the tides are doing. And so I think it's important to have that ability and education level to make that pivot.” Resources and Links: Steve’s LinkedIN Steve’s Website Steve’s Instagram Building An Empire Feeling Our Way To Millions
Before you decide to file a patent, you need to do market research. Doing market research before you decide to invest in getting a patent is crucial, actually — otherwise, you are very likely to end up wasting your time, energy, and money on a patent application that goes nowhere.

So, here's a first! Well, two firsts actually... Steven Morgan is the first comedian to be thumb wrestling against our host Ruud. And, if you haven't noticed yet by reading this, it is also the first episode entirely in the English language! Nijmegen has a vibrant expat community and Steve's a great part in it. Apart from comedy, Steven is also a music journalist for All Things Loud. He's done an interview with the Australian synthpop legend Donny Benét, dressed as Donny Benét. Baldcap and all. And also Steven has attended the Down the Rabbit Hole festival, dressed as a hot dog. Great fun! And he's no stranger to podcasts. Steven did host the musically themed Kalenda Music Podcast and is now working on his own new series. Isn't that exciting stuff? For Thumb Wrestling this time Steven will discuss his dislike for the Deadpool franchise. He's no fan of the type of meta comedy in this superhero parody, and he's not afraid to show it. If that sounds curmudgeonly, don't worry, because he has some excellent points to make. And we also talk about the Adam West version of Batman, a bit of horror and the phenomenon that is Ryan Reynolds.

EP 10: Steve Forman Well established in the LA recording studios, Steve Forman has long been recognized as one of the world’s most innovative and creative percussionists. His professional credentials began in Arizona as a contract member of the Phoenix Symphony, but his broader interests in music soon led him to the recording studios in Los Angeles. Interspersed with his early touring experience, Steve's personal trips to Brazil and Japan were important influences on his playing; he developed a style of "color" hand percussion and extended the on-stage instrument collection well beyond the routine Latin instrument group common at that time by utilizing found objects like hubcaps and artillery shells, sculptural artifacts and odd metal and wood constructions. Steve’s has played on a great many recordings with some of the most influential artists of the 20th century including John Lennon, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, Lee Ritenour, and Christine Aguilara, as well as playing on a vast array of movie soundtracks that include E.T, Flipper, Bill & Ted II, Starship Troopers, Catch Me if You Can, Bambi II, and many more. Steve now lives in Glasgow, Scotland where he gained his PHD in composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Steve now lectures and teaches his popular Pulse Relational Rhythm Theory class at the RCS which is based on insights emerging from Forman’s research of multi-dimensional polyrhythmic systems and high resolution synchronicity, semi-malleable forms, and non-standard instrumentation, and more than three decades of professional practice. He also continues to perform and record with some of the country’s top musicians.

It's always such a pleasure to get to sit down with one of your heroes...and it's especially wonderful when they are just warm, wonderful people. Steve Portigal is a prominent author of two excellent books on user research ( Interviewing Users: How to Uncover Compelling Insights and Doorbells, Danger, and Dead Batteries: User Research War Stories, linked below) and Steve also speaks prolifically on the conference circuit. And while he maintains a solo practice on the west coast, he somehow makes time to also give a lot of his knowledge away, blogging, podcasting...When I was coming up in the design world, Steve's writing was always clear and helpful. And when we first met, he was approachable and human. Steve is a model for the kind of design thought leader we need more of! Sitting down with Steve for this episode was an interesting risk, though. We ran into each other in SF and talked about the possibility of an episode grounded in a topic Steve is an expert in, but indirectly. Let me explain. Steve is a User Researcher, heart and soul. And he talks and writes about it, fluently. Facilitation is something that he *has to do* in order to bring people together. He's an extremely reflective practioner about research, but about facilitation, less so. For me, it's fascinating to see that divide. I think there are a lot of people where facilitation is a means to an end. Steve illustrates something I coach people on often - you have to be your own kind of facilitator. I can be theatrical and energetic. Steve is more introverted and centered. My way of solving for group work isn't Steve's : he's adapted his own approach that feels natural and gets the job done. There are a few key insights I got out of this conversation that I want you to look out for: Treating Workshops as a series of games with clear rules and goals Steve breaks his time with groups up into "beats" or "scenes" just like an improv person would. Each scene has a focus, an outcome and rules. It breaks the time up and keeps energy moving. Narrow Ranking 0, 1, 2: If you're going to get participants to rank things solo before comparing, make the structure simple. 0 is meh, 2 is awesome. 1 is good. That's it. Too much granularity confuses things. Direct vs indirect facilitation Steve talks about comedic scolding of groups, pushing teams but using humor, vs letting them do their own thing, watching and listening…and stopping the room to call attention to something worthwhile that group is doing. One way might be called extroverted or direct facilitation and the other introverted or indirect facilitation. Steve says that the extroverted practice of calling people out, using names is "not in my energy." Facilitation is about using what feels natural to you. Being conscious of your choices as a facilitator What are you doing, when? And is it working for you? Why or why not? What to absorb or drop? I know that facilitation is a means to and end for most people, but taking time to reflect on your practice can provide significant dividends The "chef's roll" of facilitation Bringing what you really need into the room. The tools make it go smoothly. Some people love 3 X 5 stickies, others want black, or manage color in other ways. I hate pop-up notes with an undying, smoldering passion. The tools matter. Insights generate energy and clarity by making things simple Steve tells a story about how one woman's insights infused the room with energy and clarity. My feeling is that insights pull multiple threads together, grouping complex behaviors into a simple narrative core. Is it the management of too many mental/narrative threads that's exhausting? And the reduction of threads that gives cognitive release? Expand the frame of your work Steve is a researcher, but he doesn't let his work stop there. He knows nothing will happen with the research unless he pulls the work forward into the org. Running ideation or concepting workshops can tip the energy of the team forward and shift the momentum Links: Steve on the Web Steve on Twitter Steve's Podcast: The Episode with EBay's Pree Kolari Interviewing Users Doorbells, Danger, and Dead Batteries: User Research War Stories Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies on WikiPedia and the App I use!

Show Notes: SatoriPrime.com/62 “Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s the absence of self.” -Steve Sisler (click to tweet) We all want to be unique, and we all want to be special. Although that’s true, people are also very predictable. In fact, so much so that there can be a math equation created for you that will help identify you as a person, both good and bad. This equation has been used to predict the type of car you drive, or what terrible things may have happened to you when you were ten. This equation isn’t something just anyone can master though, it’s something behavioural profilers use to determine problem areas in your life and help you get you back on track. On this episode of Have It All we are joined by one of the top behavioural profilers, Steve Sisler. Steve came up with his own system and is incredibly accurate at telling someone’s life story based on numbers. It sounds crazy, but you have to listen to this episode to understand.

You want to win because you hate losing.” -Steve Sisler (click to tweet) The Cliff Notes: There are math equations for human beings. You give off a lot of telltale signs about yourself without realizing it. Your environment affects your mentality and survival skills. Some people need problems and chaos. People behave in accordance with how we believe. We don’t see people as how they are, we see them as how we are. Impatience is a sign of flexibility. Most entrepreneurs are impatient. Some people don’t value their time, and aren’t real entrepreneurs. If you get hit by a bus today and your business is gone tomorrow, you’re not an entrepreneur.

“The experience of reading is going to be luxurious. It’s going to be giving yourself the room and the space to sit down and make a real connection with something.” - Steve Casimiro What does it mean to be adventurous? How often do you find yourself connecting with the outdoor community in a quiet place, without the distractions of cell phones and other devices? With everything now available on your iphone, ipad, or other mobile/desktop devices, we find ourselves moving further away from print publications. Steve Casimiro believes in providing outdoor adventure publication pieces to provide the reader with an experience they can connect with. Steve Casimiro joins us to discuss the Print industry and his own publication, “Adventure Journal.” Steve has been doing print for over 30 years, and working with National Geographic since 1998. He currently resides in Monarch, CA. Bulletpoints Steve has been doing print for 30 years. Steve has spent the last 7 years building a customer base and proving himself to Advertisers. Pre web, if you did a story that upset people you didn’t really hear much. Nowadays it’s easier to voice your opinions via internet. The web makes it easier to hold writers accountable for their work and it’s success/failure. A key part of building Adventure Journal is keeping it small and manageable at the moment. Steve wants to do the stories that he feels are best, not the stories that are going to jump off the newsstand. The stories in the [Adventure Journal] quarterly will only be available in print. The nature of the stories being put out are thoughtful pieces to explore what it means to be adventurous. Steve is doing Adventure Journal exactly the way he wants -- in order to create an experience for readers. There is around 112 pages of editorial in each issue.

I had the opportunity to meet live at Publik Coffee Roasters with comedian, Steve Soelberg . Steve is a comedian centered on making his audience laugh. He prepares his material without the worry of being politically correct and believes that comedy is the last form of “free speech”. Being alone on stage with the goal of making hundreds of people laugh and connect with you requires personal power and Steve gets this power with a deep-rooted believe in himself. If you do not believe in yourself, then nobody will. Steve has performed all over America and knows that he needs to believe he is the best before he can think anyone else will think he is the best comedian. In this episode you will learn: The type of hot beverage Steve and I are sipping – Coffee from the small country of Burundi for Ben & tea for Steve Steve’s background and how he got into comedy The power of believing in yourself Comedy – The last true form of free speech Comedy is not for the thin skinned or politically correct Indie – Comedy. What is it and how does it relate to other comedy Being “funny” or being “famous” in comedy. There is a difference Getting fired from a job – turning lemons into lemonade Top comedians Steve picks as mentors The importance of making more mistakes Coffee’s for closers – Episode over Without further ado, please listen to this episode.

Steve Hales: Slime, Dimension X, Fort Apocalypse Steve Hales published several games with Synapse Software: Slime, Dimension X, Fort Apocalypse, and Mindwheel. His first job was reverse engineering the Atari 2600 to create the Starpath Supercharger. His game for that platform was Suicide Mission, an Asteroids clone. This interview took place on October 21, 2015. In it we discuss Ihor Wolosenko and Cathryn Mataga, whom I previously interviewed; and Mike Potter and Bob Polin, whose interviews are forthcoming. Steve has released the source code for Fort Apocalypse. He and I talked about the possibility of also releasing the code for his other games. In March 2016 he emailed me, "I did a deep look into my archives, and didn’t find anything useful. I have one more place to look, but its not near me at all, so it will take a few months to look." However, he does have Mindwheel running on a web site at http://mindwheelgame.com and his more modern game, Squirrel Warz for iOS, is available at http://www.squirrelwarz.com. Check the show notes for those links as well as links to Steve's other projects. Our interview starts with us talking about the recovery and scanning of the Star Raiders source code. Although he didn't create Star Raiders, Steve is the person who found the source code printout for Star Raiders in his files, and lent it to me to scan. Teaser quote: "[Dimension X] didn't really come out that well. It was actually my first lesson in a failure of something that was fun." "Solo developers of the time, their games were sometimes pretty great but sometimes mostly not.
