Meet Jewelz and her husband and caretaker, Matt, of Northern California. The couple have four children together and were both feeling optimistic about their future as they entered their 50s. However, they could never have been prepared for Jewelz's pancreatic cancer diagnosis in 2022. Her stomach pain began in the 90s when she was just a high schooler, persisting into adulthood, but she always convinced herself she was being a hypochondriac about the pain. Nevertheless, the severity of the pain sometimes made it hard to dismiss. Consulting a friend who noticed signs of jaundice prompted her to finally visit the emergency room in 2022. Upon admission, blood work and ultrasounds revealed stage 3 pancreatic cancer. As a mother of four, just barely in her 50s, this news came as a huge shock to her and her family. She recalls having to tell her four children over a Facetime call that she had cancer, and their emotions have stuck with her. Her husband, Matt, joined her on this episode to share his perspective as her caretaker through all of this and how he stepped up with many of the parental duties while Jewelz battled pancreatic cancer. He had to leave a career he had been with for decades and change his routine to help her through this battle, but the pair emerged even stronger and closer as a family. Join us for this heartwarming episode of the Project Purple podcast to learn more about Jewelz and Matt's pancreatic cancer story.

Born in Rock Hill, SC, Matt Tucker was raised on country music. Raised in a very musically inclined family, Tucker has always loved to sing and in 2008, he decided to get serious with his music career. He began playing in local honky-tonks with his father around Rock Hill, SC and he soon broke out as a solo artist playing acoustic gigs in the area. Tucker put together his first band a couple of years later and began to realize his full potential. He then started on his journey to Nashville. Tucker is influenced by some of country music's most known legends, such as George Strait, Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, and Conway Twitty and modern artists like Jake Owen, Jason Aldean, Chris Stapleton, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, and Garth Brooks. His southern upbringing shines through his songs and his music reflects the new country sound with some 90's rockin' ways. In 2013, Tucker made lots of friends in “Music City” Nashville, TN and in October of 2013, after being referred by Hall of Fame songwriter, Sam Tate, Tucker became a SESAC-affiliate known as Guitbox Publishing. Later in the same year, he released a four song “EP” produced and engineered by Pat Holt and recorded in Nashville, TN. In December, a CD release party at one of the Southeast's premier country night clubs, Coyote Joes in Charlotte, NC, helped spark his self-written single “Tonight”, a song that gained radio airplay. Tucker finished the new album “Where Did You Go” in 2017, which features versatile, fan-pleasing songs.

Are restaurants becoming like Taylor Swift? Well, sort of. This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Matt Tucker. He is the senior vice president with Squarespace and is head of the reservation platform Tock. Tock was cofounded by restaurateur Nick Kokonas and was sold in 2021 to Squarespace. The company sells prepaid restaurant reservations to customers. Those reservations act like tickets, which customers can resell. And that could create a market that operates like online ticket sales, where brokers gobble up the best tickets—like Taylor Swift concerts—to resell them at substantial markups. We talk with Tucker about this, and why restaurants do not want their reservations resold. Tucker talks about what his company does to prevent this. But he also talks about the benefits to restaurants of a model in which diners prepay for their reservations, such as the ability to do more dynamic pricing. We talk about general trends in restaurant reservations. For instance, is 6 p.m. really the new 8 p.m. and why is that? What are consumers looking for in reservations these days and what is demand for those restaurants right now. It's a fascinating conversation about reservations, so check it out.

In this Rail Group On Air podcast, part of our series with the Commuter Rail Coalition, North County Transit District Executive Director and CEO Matt Tucker, BNSF Assistant Vice President Passenger Operations DJ Mitchell and CRC Executive Director KellyAnne Gallagher discuss the San Diego Pathing Study with Railway Age Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono. Released in November 2020, the study provides an implementation blueprint for a unique NCTD/BNSF partnership that will bring capacity and service improvements for commuter and intercity passenger rail and freight rail to Southern California’s LOSSAN (Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo) rail corridor, the second-busiest rail corridor in the U.S. In a typical year, the LOSSAN rail corridor moves approximately $1 billion of freight and more than eight million rail passengers. DB Engineering & Consulting USA, Inc., the international consulting division of Germany’s national railroad Deutsche Bahn, prepared the study, which identifies and prioritizes infrastructure improvements that are tied to a specific increase in service capacity over the near-, mid- and long-term future. DB E&C applied an approach to rail operations and infrastructure planning that allows rapidly iterating service design, operational adjustments and infrastructure improvements in order to derive an attractive solution. The blueprint will assist NCTD and its rail partners in growing service along a corridor that is currently bottlenecked by single track and other infrastructure deficiencies.

It’s always good for startups of all stages to have goals and be working every day in pursuit of those goals. However, too many startups lose sight of those goals and the practices that can help get them there. That’s the precise problem that founder and CEO Matt Tucker is looking to address with his startup Koan, an alignment platform that’s heavily inspired by OKRs. In the latest edition of the Silicon Valley Momentum Podcast, Roland Siebelink spoke with Matt. The two discussed a wide array of topics related to Koan and the qualities that put startups in a position to be successful: How Koan is solving a “structured collaboration problem” by helping teams work together and work transparently to create a common purpose across the entire company. Why several small but positive behaviors can end up making a significant difference in the end. The importance of startup leaders “doing the basics,” even when a business is in its infancy. How a combination of coaching and software can be the right combination for creating lasting change within a startup. Why leaders need to take into account the problem they’re solving and how quickly they need to scale when it comes to fundraising.

Welcome to the Secret Sauce, our short podcast that is typically around 10 minutes long and offers a quick tip on some small thing you can do to help your business run better. Account Manager Allison Manley is joined by our peer Jason Pamental, the Director of Design and Technical Strategy at Isovera in Massachusetts. Jason shares his thoughts about typography on the web, and how he got into it in the first place. TRANSCRIPT Allison Manley [AM]: Hi, and welcome to the Secret Sauce, brought to you by Palantir.net. This is our short podcast, up to 10 minutes, that offers a quick tip on some small thing you can do to help your business run better. I’m Allison Manley, an account manager here at Palantir, and today’s advice comes to us from Jason Pamental, the Director of Design and Technical Strategy at Isovera in Massachusetts. I caught up with Jason at DrupalCon, and he wanted to share with you his thoughts on typography on the web. Jason Pamental [JP]: Hi, I’m Jason Pamental, I work at Isovera, a Drupal shop right outside Boston, Massachusetts, and I’m here to talk about web typography, and kind of how I got into it. Which, interestingly enough to me . . . I think about it when I’m here . . . I actually got into it because of people I talked to at DrupalCon. I started writing about web fonts when TypeKit came out in 2009. Studying graphic design many years ago, I always loved type, but couldn’t ever really do that much with it online. When TypeKit launched, I had already started using Drupal, and I was using TypeKit, and there were no modules. I found somebody had started one and I just got involved in that: I became the co-maintainer. And that was one of my first forays into using, actually getting into the contrib space. But then it opened up into talking with a bunch of core developers at DrupalCon in Chicago. It was Al Stephan and Matt Tucker, and a couple other people, in a bar of course, at two in the morning. And I figured if I could convince them that web fonts were actually worth implementing, then I should really do something with that. Since then I’ve spoken about at DrupalCons on three different continents, and written a book about it, and absolutely love the way the sort-of art and science of using fonts fits with that same way that Drupal can kind of tie into how an organization works, and how you create websites, and that same sense of . . . that blend of strategy, and design, and technology all kind of in this one big platform. It’s been perfect. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to implement it, and teaching people how to do it and use web fonts and now I get to kind of spread that around with the rest of the technical team at Isovera too, which has been a lot of fun. One of the things that actually struck me in how to use web fonts well was actually . . . one of the guys from Vox Media was talking about it in a session yesterday . . . he was talking about image performance, and font performance, and ads. One of the things he started talking about with font performance was something that I had actually written about a while ago: it was a way to balance that flash of unstyled text or unseen text when things are loading. And that actually ties into a great way that Drupal 8 allows you to control the loading of Javascript. So it really comes down to when you’re loading the web fonts, the first thing that happens is the browser sees the listing for the web font in the CSS, and it has to think about whether or not that web font has loaded. Most of the time it hasn’t yet, so the browser default behavior is to not show anything. That’s actually how all the browsers behave now. The problem is that when you have all these other things going on in the loading process of a page from Drupal, if you’re also then waiting for a web font to load, you’re creating a pretty big delay, and it could be a significant delay in actually seeing any content show up on the page. So the trick is to actually use something called the Web Font Loader, or something like it that will inject a class into the page. You set the font loading to be asynchronous using Javascript, and that’s something you can easily do now in Drupal 8 to control where the font, the script is executing. And in doing so, you get the unstyled text on the page right away by tapping the CSS into this web font loading class. Then you can style that fallback: you can set the line height, the font size, the letter spacing, all through CSS that is sort of scoped to the presence of that WF inactive class in the loading pattern. And this is something that the guy from Vox was talking about using on The Verge, on the Vox Media site itself . . . it’s a loading technique that is the easiest thing in the world to set up. I actually have it built into a couple of frameworks and a theme that I maintain on Drupal.org called Beep Edition that will give you some pretty simple hooks to try this stuff out for yourself. So that loading process . . . getting the text on the screen right away . . . is another one of those ways to achieve better perceived performance and minimize the difference for people when they are loading stuff. So if you’re interested in checking that stuff out, if you look at the theme that I have up for D7 and D8 on Drupal.org, Beep Edition, it has a lot of that stuff built in. AM: Thank you, Jason, and so nice to meet you at DrupalCon New Orleans! For more great tips, follow us on Twitter at @palantir, or visit our website at palantir.net. Have a wonderful day!

Born in Rock Hill, SC, Matt Tucker was brought up on country music. Raised in a very musically inclined family, Tucker has always loved to sing and in 2008 decided to get serious. He began playing in honky-tonks around Rock Hill, SC with his father. He soon broke out as a solo artist playing acoustic gigs. Putting together his first band, a few years later, he started to realize his full potential and began on his journey to Nashville.Influenced by some of country music's most known legends (George Strait, Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty) and modern artists (Jake Owen, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks), Tucker's southern upbringing shines through his songs. His music is a blend of new country with a traditional style, which reflects the respect he has for his peers, as well as, the greats that came before him.Matt and the boys continue to work on putting together a crowd-pleasing high energy performance that showcases their original music, as well as old favorites and current hits. He is currently one of the Carolinas' top independent country acts and plans on touring nationally this year.
