Podcast appearances and mentions of max brenner

Sue Bolton is almost peerless when it comes to having clear working memory and deep knowledge of Australian politics the last 40 years. She can tell you the details of so many leftist campaigns, what the issues were that were being caused by government and business, and key decisions that were made. Her knowledge is really quite astounding. We return to Sue this week for our second chat. We take up her story when she first came to Melbourne and was active with the Democratic Socialist Party and publication Green Left Weekly. This was in the early-90s during the school occupations to stop closures, nuclear testing in the Pacific, native forest logging, the election of the Howard government and the election of Pauline Hanson. This period began a certain era of refugee politics and policy in the country. Sue was a national trade union organiser for a few years beginning in 2003 and was the lead arrestee in the Max Brenner case. She was elected to Merri-Bek council in 2012 and bases all her work listening to her local community. Sue has been re-elected twice. Her current big campaign is getting accessible tram stops on Sydney Road. We love Sue and think she is a gem. She deserves an honour for all her efforts for working class communities over many, many years. Thank-you so much for joining us once again, Sue.https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/beat-facebook-ban-green-left

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: ACX Meetups Everywhere 2023: Times & Places, published by Scott Alexander on August 29, 2023 on LessWrong. Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for ACX meetup organizers. Volunteers have arranged meetups in 169 cities around the world, from Baghdad to Bangalore to Buenos Aires. You can find the list below, in the following order: Africa & Middle East Asia-Pacific Europe North America South America You can see a map of all the events on the LessWrong community page. You can also see a searchable sheet at this Airtable link. Within each region, it's alphabetized first by country, then by city. For instance, the first entry in Europe is Sofia, Bulgaria, and the first entry for Germany is Bremen. Each region and country has its own header. The USA is the exception where it is additionally sorted by state, with states having their own subheaders. Hopefully this is clear. You can also just have your web browser search for your city by pressing ctrl+f and typing it if you're on Windows, or command+f and typing if you're on Mac. If you're on Linux, I assume you can figure this out. Scott will provisionally be attending the meetup in Berkeley. ACX meetups coordinator Skyler will provisionally be attending Boston, Cavendish, Burlington, Berlin, Bremen, Amsterdam, Cardiff, London, and Berkeley. Some of the biggest ones might be announced on the blog, regardless of whether or not Scott or Skyler attends. Extra Info For Potential Attendees 1. If you're reading this, you're invited. Please don't feel like you "won't be welcome" just because you're new to the blog, demographically different from the average reader, don't want to buy anything at the cafe or restaurant where it's held, or hate ACX and everything it stands for. You'll be fine! 2. You don't have to RSVP or contact the organizer to be able to attend (unless the event description says otherwise); RSVPs are mostly to give organizers a better sense of how many people might show up, and let them tell you if there are last-second changes. I've also given email addresses for all organizers in case you have a question. Extra Info For Meetup Organizers:1. If you're the host, bring a sign that says "ACX MEETUP" and prop it up somewhere (or otherwise be identifiable).2. Bring blank labels and pens for nametags.3. Have people type their name and email address in a spreadsheet or in a Google Form (accessed via a bit.ly link or QR code), so you can start a mailing list to make organizing future meetups easier.4. If it's the first meetup, people are probably just going to want to talk, and if you try to organize some kind of "fun" "event" it'll probably just be annoying.5. It's easier to schedule a followup meetup while you're having the first, compared to trying to do it later on by email.6. In case people want to get to know each other better outside the meetup, you might want to mention reciprocity.io, the rationalist friend-finder/dating site.7. If you didn't make a LessWrong event for your meetup (or if you did but Skyler didn't know about it) the LessWrong team did it for you using the email address you gave here. To claim your event, log into LW (or create an account) using that email address, or message the LW team on Intercom (chat button in the bottom right corner of lesswrong.com). If you need to change a meetup date or you have any other questions, please email skyler[at]rationalitymeetups[dot]org.

We begin with our home-base in Philadelphia, with a Philly favorite: Scoop DeVille. We spoke with Spencer Phillips, who is the current owner and operator behind the thirty year-old ice cream spot. Spencer discussed how he came to know Scoop DeVille, and years later became the owner 10 years ago. Initially Phillips stuck to all the original processes. However, Phillips now creates his own flavors, ice creams, and hot chocolate floats which are sought after treats all year long! Stay tuned for more about Scoop DeVille and all that you can look forward to for your next favorite frozen treat! Tasting fabulous foods and beverages is always on our radar, so we spoke with the Creative Director, Joe Calerone, of New York's famous Serendipity 3. You may recognize the name, as this is a sweet spot for many celebrities, notable foodies, and from their notoriety on the small and big screen. Fame is not the only reason this New York City-based spot gained attention, they're also recognized for holding 9 different Guinness Book of World Records under the "Most Expensive" categories. However what we, and several celebrities are after is their Frozen Hot Chocolate Ice Cream and actual hot chocolate options. Need to hear more? Keep your stereo on, earbuds in, or smart devices playing--there were a lot of opulent items to cover. Speaking of opulence, Max Brenner International's Director of Marketing, Yosi Coba, joined us all the way from Israel! Yosi began his career as a youth, working as a server in one of the first Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar locations in Israel. Coba later returned to the company after studying Marketing in school and now holds his current position--which we are emphatically jealous of! Chocolate is enjoyed by the masses, however the intricacy of creating chocolate confections that induce an emotional and tasting experience is on another level; that level is where Max Brenner's comes into play. The company is not just a chocolatier, it has become a full dining experience--incorporating palate pleasing culinary delights with everything they offer. Of course, this includes their signature foods, desserts, and beverages to enjoy no matter where you are in the world.

As one of the founders of Max Brenner, the highly popular chocolate brand and restaurant chain, Oded Brenner was considered the world's real-life Willy Wonka.  Now, after a brief hiatus, he's embracing his inner “business artist” and building a new brand: Blue Stripes. While both businesses are connected by a core ingredient, the cacao fruit, Blue Stripes is leaning into CPG and a mission rooted in sustainability. During this episode of Retail Remix, Oded shares his founder story and:   Why the cacao fruit presented opportunities for product innovation and ideation;   How he approaches brand development and storytelling for such a niche story and value proposition; and   Why he is prioritizing wholesale partnerships over direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales.   RELATED LINKS  Learn more about Blue Stripes  Shop Blue Stripes online   Find Blue Stripes products in a store  

On this episode, Nicole Chenard interviews Nick DiGiovanni, a chef on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram with 14 million followers. He was selected to Forbes 30 under 30, a finalist on MasterChef Season 10, and has several business ventures including Osmo Salt. Nick DiGiovanni is one of TikTok's top U.S. food creators with 8 million followers and more than 250 million monthly views. He was the youngest-ever finalist on MasterChef and finished third during Season 10. He's worked in several restaurants including a 3 Michelin Star restaurant called Benu in San Francisco, CA. The Harvard graduate is currently deferring his enrollment in Harvard Business School's 2+2 program so he can focus on growing his brand and several ongoing projects. Nicole has personally known Nick since he interned for her while she was creating nutrition programs for Massachusetts General Hospital and serving as the Wellness Director at the John Nagle Co. As an outstanding intern, he also helped her with the Boston Fisheries Foundation's Boston Seafood Festival several years back. Since Nick is such a big star now, Nicole likes to joke around that she produced his first video, which is on YouTube. Nick and Nicole produced their own nutrition video without the help of professionals (we've come a long way!) and had a lot of fun recording it. Created for 9/11 veterans and their families, the video, "Improve Your Mood with Food," describes the benefits of specific foods and nutrients for emotional wellbeing, as in decreasing depression and anxiety and increasing calm and happy. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's on YouTube, listed on the Major League Nutrition channel. We hope you like it!

**********************音频的原文和翻译，可以在【季冬记事】工众号的历史记录里面找到哦**********************可可果只能制作巧克力？欧迪·布伦纳（Oded Brenner）有一份很棒的工作。他制作巧克力。20世纪90年代，他与人合伙创办了一家名为Max Brenner巧克力的国际巧克力公司。他的生意包括在纽约市百老汇的一家650平方米的商店。2012年，布伦纳离开了这家公司。几年后，他开始探索巧克力的另一面。2015年，在一次牙买加之旅中，他爱上了巧克力的原材料：可可果。牙买加人教会了他很多关于可可的知识——也就是说，可可不仅仅能制作巧克力。布伦纳看到牙买加人用可可果制作果汁、白酒和面粉。他们用的是整颗可可果，而不仅仅是可可豆。布伦纳对美联社表示，尽管他与巧克力打交道已有20年，但他对可可却知之甚少。布伦纳表示:“可可果是最知名水果背后最不知名的水果。”虽然他可能不了解这种水果，但牙买加和厄瓜多尔等其他国家的人并非如此。厄瓜多尔人还教布伦纳如何使用可可。在厄瓜多尔，他看到人们饮用可可水，吃可可豆干果。他了解到，可以将整颗可可果都吃掉。但他补充说，在制作传统巧克力时，“水果的其他部分都被浪费掉了。”这种水果有点甜，有点酸。据说，可可水的口感十分清爽。果实内部的种子就是可可豆。这就是用来制作巧克力的部分。布伦纳表示，凭着新业务和新知识，他想讲述关于巧克力的两个方面。因此，他研发了新的产品来庆祝制作巧克力的传统工艺和可可果的天然味道。健康专家早就指出，巧克力可能对健康有益。哈佛公共卫生学院T.H. Chan在其网站上表示，用可可制成的黑巧克力含有许多必要的营养成分。其中包括铁、铜、镁、锌、磷和黄烷醇。布伦纳指出，这种不加糖的水果还有其他营养成分。可可果富含抗氧化剂。而且汁水里充满了被称为电解质的天然化学物质。这些物质需要在体液中控制重要的运行过程，包括身体如何使用维生素和矿物质以及排除体内毒素。布伦纳称，除了健康，他用来制作产品的可可是以对环境无害的方式种植的。这对农民也是公平的。安娜·马特奥为您播报。

Oded Brenner often praises traditional business principles. His career, however, has been defined by resisting them. A self-described “businessman-artist,” Brenner cut his teeth as an entrepreneur in 1996 as the co-founder of Max Brenner, an international chain of upscale chocolate-centric cafes. Brenner points out that the genesis of Max Brenner, which operated nearly 40 locations globally at its peak, had little to do with business planning or market research and instead was born out of Brenner’s passion for indulgent and comforting desserts. The same is true for his latest venture, Blue Stripes Urban Cacao, which markets a range of wellness-focused consumer drinks and snacks made from upcycled cacao fruit, including the shell and beans. Brenner calls it a “pure passion” project, albeit one that is rapidly expanding its presence at natural channel retailers. In an interview included in this episode, Brenner spoke about his unconventional approach to entrepreneurship and why he believes that “there will always be a place for the niche.” He also discussed his breakup from Max Brenner and his belief that corporations and independent business owners can never work together, why he embraces ideas that would commonly be perceived as mistakes and his definition for the ultimate form of success.  Show notes:  0:42: Interview: Oded Brenner, Founder, Max Brenner & Blue Stripes Urban Cacao -- Taste Radio editor Ray Latif joined Brenner for a conversation that began with a brief introduction to cacao fruit and instructions on how to open one with your hands (as Latif did during the interview). Brenner also discussed how his original plan to become a writer morphed into a passion for pastries, the origins of Max Brenner, the chain’s expansion into international cities and how he created a menu and experience that resonated with customers from all walks of life. Later, he explained why the company’s partnership with holding company Strauss Group was a big mistake, how his love of cacao fruit inspired the launch of Blue Stripes, why customer experience should package design, why having a broad mix of products is not a wise idea and his motivation to continue building businesses.

A deal to sell the assets of Max Brenner Australia was cancelled at the last minute. Max Brenner is an international chocolate company that was founded in Israel in 1996. Since then, it has opened numerous stores in other countries, including Japan, the Philippines, and Australia. Recently, however, Max Brenner Australia could no longer sustain its operations due to increasing costs and other challenges. As a result, half of its stores are bound to close. In an attempt to keep Max Brenner Australia running, the owners of the company worked out a deal to sell the Australian stores. An agreement was reached to sell the stores to Tozer and Co., which invests in struggling companies. Investment firm Binder Dijker Otte (BDO) was the facilitator of the sale. However, BDO suddenly announced that the sale was cancelled for reasons still unknown. A BDO representative said that it would continue to look for other buyers. Tozer and Co., however, was disappointed over the cancellation and considered taking legal action against BDO. Current staff members of Max Brenner Australia took their grievances to social media after finding out that they may not be paid anymore from October 17 onward. After the outrage from Max Brenner employees and Tozer & Co., BDO clarified what had happened. According to a representative, the only cancelled deal was the agreement for Tozer and Co. to purchase Max Brenner Australia's assets. These include the stores, stock, equipment, and staff. The deal to purchase the license to run Max Brenner Australia, however, was still effective. In other words, Tozer & Co. could already operate Max Brenner Australia, but with its own resources, employees, and stores.

Oded Brenner is a modern-day Willy Wonka. In 1996, he launched a small chocolate shop called Max Brenner in Israel. That one location was such a success, he eventually expanded the concept to dozens of chocolate restaurants all across the globe – including in Israel, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Russia and in the United States. Max Brenner shops are inspired by “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" – even down to the chocolate pipes circumnavigating their way through the restaurant. It takes a whimsical approach to food and everywhere you look is chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. There's even chocolate pizza. He sold a majority stake in his company to an Israeli confectionary company called the Strauss Group. But then something happened that would change the course of the chocolate shop's history. Oded tried opening a new chain of coffee shops on the side, and the food and beverage giant sued him. Oded lost his job and the company he founded, and as part of the settlement he was banished from the chocolate business for five years. He spent those years in exile planning his comeback. And now, he's finally returned. He recently opened a new chocolate shop in New York City called Blue Stripes. Throughout the space – on the walls and on the gift boxes – are short pieces of text that Oded has written to his daughter, to share his entrepreneurial journey with her. To explain to her how he went from worldwide chocolate icon to being in exile. The new eatery offers a more refined menu, featuring variations on the cacao fruit, although you'll still find hints of the decadent. Their signature drink is known as "The Cloud" and is basically drinkable chocolate mousse served from a tap. In this episode, we visit Oded's new restaurant to chat about Max Brenner, his years away from the chocolate business, and what he hopes to accomplish next.
