In this inspiring episode titled "Breaking Barriers: The Only Girl in Military School
In this episode, my guest is Dr. Diego Bohórquez, PhD, professor of medicine and neurobiology at Duke University and a pioneering researcher into how we use our ‘gut sense.' He describes how your gut communicates to your brain and the rest of your body through hormones and neural connections to shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. He explains how your gut senses a range of features such as temperature, pH, the macro- and micronutrients in our foods, and much more and signals that information to the brain to affect our food preferences, aversions, and cravings. Dr. Bohórquez describes his early life in the Amazon jungle and how exposure to traditional agriculture inspired his unique expertise combining nutrition, gastrointestinal physiology, and neuroscience. We discuss how the gut and brain integrate sensory cues, leading to our intuitive “gut sense” about food, people, and situations. This episode provides a scientific perspective into your gut sense to help you make better food choices and, indeed, to support better decision-making in all of life.

NEW, PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN SPECIES OF 1,000-YEAR-OLD HUMANOIDS RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN PERU, TO BE PRESENTED TO THE MEDIA BY UNIQUE TEAM OF SCIENTISTS, UFOLOGISTS AND AWARD-WINNING INVESTIGATIVE FILMMAKERS DURING LOS ANGELES PRESS CONFERENCE TO BE LIVE STREAMED AROUND THE WORLD Los Angeles, March 12, 2024 – In January 2024, two award-winning, Los Angeles-based investigative filmmakers, Serena DC and Michael Mazzola, took a trip together down to Mexico City to prove that the “alien mummies” which had been presented by iconic Mexican Investigator Jaime Maussan in Mexico City on September 13, 2023, before the Mexican Congress were, indeed fakes. Much to their surprise, DC and Mazzola discovered that the bodies Mr. Maussan had presented there that day were, in fact, A NEW SPECIES OF HUMANOID PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO SCIENCE! Following Mr. Maussan's presentation on 9/13/23 in Mexico City, Peruvian officials went to great lengths to discredit his “bodies” by conflating them with “other bodies” – dolls, in fact -- which had been created by an artist. Then claiming that Mr. Maussan presented “dolls” at his event, the Peruvian Ministry of Culture succeeded in generating a massive amount of negative media attention around the world, discrediting both the legitimacy of Mr. Maussan's “bodies” and Mr. Maussan, himself. Today, at a Global Press Conference at The Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA, Serena DC and Michael Mazzola were joined by Mr. Jaime Maussan, inventor Adam Michael Curry, Peruvian Journalist Jois Mantilla, Dr. José de Jesús Zalce Benítez, Dr. Roger Zuñiga, Dr. Ricardo Manuel Anicama Pardo, Manuel Natividad Cruz Torres, Dr Juan Jose Rodriguez Lazo, Dr. Edgar Martin Hernandez, Dr. David Ruiz, and Dr. Rafael Arcangel Berrocal Ramos who collectively refuted the claims of “fake alien bodies.” This unique Team presented to the Media and to the World that Mr. Maussan's original two bodies, along with an additional five bodies discovered recently in a cave in Peru, HAVE BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED TO BE A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN SPECIES OF HUMANOIDS LIVING ON EARTH, 1,000 YEARS AGO. During the Press Conference, the Team live streamed scientists from four locations in Mexico and Peru who demonstrated in real time scientific analyses and live body scans of these never-seen-before bodies. Some of these bodies are even believed to contain some ancient technology, for which Metallurgical Expert and Engineer Dr Manuel Torres provided expert testimony. “This is a once in a lifetime press event, where reporters will be the first people on Earth to see these incredible beings and judge for themselves if they were once living creatures or ‘fakes.' After we present the mind-blowing forensic evidence behind these creatures, the true origins of these mysterious creatures will be open for discussion,” said DC and Mazzola. Regarding the September 2023 revelation of “alien mummies,” acclaimed Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, on February 29, 2024, during an interview with 60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl, said, “We have to at least bring out the evidence. They did that in Mexico. That was an important first step – you present the evidence, then you send samples of it to other labs to verify or falsify your claims. That's how science works.” “We went down to Mexico to prove that these now infamous ‘alien mummies' were nothing but a fraud,” Serena DC and Michael Mazzola said. “But we immediately became aware that Peruvian officials and the media were pushing this as a fraud, not Jaime Maussan and not these scientists. Our press conference today is being presented to address all of the lies and misinformation about this topic that have been reported, around the world, since last September. Our goal is to hopefully set the record straight. These bodies are a significant archeological find – they are either an extinct, unknown species or the result of various genetic experiments from 1000 years ago, or something else we haven't considered. But they aren't dolls. And how could early humans have performed those genetic experiments 1000 years ago?” DC and Mazzola continue, “We have teamed up with a group of brilliant scientists, all of whom have been on the same quest as us – to discover the true origins of this new species. At today's press conference, our team of decorated scientists and forensics experts will be unveiling these ancient bodies, some of which stand about 4-feet tall. One of these scientists is Dr Jose Zlace, who has pointed out that “these tridactyl bodies correspond to biological and organic beings, with a harmonious and functional anatomical structure without traces of alteration or manipulation, being completely authentic, the DNA results corroborate their authenticity and at the same time demonstrate their differentiation to any Known species in Darwin's Taxonomy." Therefore, for Dr. Zalce we are faced with extraordinary bodies that could represent a paradigm shift in what is known and described by science as we currently know it. Dr Zlace states: "We need to protect these bodies from their natural degradation in order to preserve them and further deepen their study and understanding by the world's scientific community. These bodies of 3 different species are something extraordinary that must be treated with the necessary respect and objectivity so that humanity understands that we are facing something that could completely change our own conception and understanding as human beings.” ABOUT THE BODIES: The bodies of several unidentified species recently discovered in a remote cave in South America have just been analyzed by American scientists who are ready to come forward with their shocking findings. The bodies, which have been carbon dated to be around 1,000 years old, have had extensive scans and DNA testing done to them. The results of these tests have revealed these facts: ** The bodies appear to be the result of highly sophisticated genetic experiments that were not possible to be performed by early humans in 1000 AD. ** Mysterious DNA: Analysis indicates that 30% of their genetic material remains unidentified, presenting a profound mystery about their existence and origin.** Unique Physiological Traits: Exhibiting tridactyl hands and feet, alongside atypical anthropometric features – these beings challenge the very framework of biological evolution. Scientists are convinced that they have discovered a brand-new species of beings who were sentient, intelligent and who walked the Earth 1,000 years ago. However, there is no record of these creatures in the history books, leaving the scientific community with more questions than answers.

This week's episode takes a look back at the career of trailblazing independent filmmaker Robert Downey, father of Robert Downey, Jr., and his single foray into the world of Hollywood filmmaking, Mad Magazine Presents Up the Academy. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. On this episode, we follow up on a movie based on a series of articles from a humor magazine that was trying to build their brand name by slapping their name on movies with a movie that was sponsored by a humor magazine trying to build their brand name by slapping their name on movies not unlike the other humor magazine had been doing but ended up removing their name from the movie, and boy is brain already fried and we're not even a minute into the episode. We're talking about Robert Downey's 1980 comedy Up the Academy. But, as always, before we get to Up the Academy, let's hit the backstory. If you know the name Robert Downey, it's likely because you know his son. Robert Downey, Jr. You know, Iron Man. Yes, Robert Downey, Jr. is a repo baby. Maybe you've seen the documentary he made about his dad, Sr., that was released by Netflix last year. But it's more than likely you've never heard of Robert Downey, Sr., who, ironically, was a junior himself like his son. Robert Downey was born Robert John Elias, Jr. in New York City in 1936, the son of a model and a manager of hotels and restaurants. His parents would divorce when he was young, and his mom would remarry while Robert was still in school. Robert Elias, Jr. would take the last name of his stepfather when he enlisted in the Army, in part because was wanted to get away from home but he was technically too young to actually join the Army. He would invent a whole new persona for himself, and he would, by his own estimate, spend the vast majority of his military career in the stockade, where he wrote his first novel, which still has never been published. After leaving the Army, Downey would spend some time playing semi-pro baseball, not quite good enough to go pro, spending his time away from the game writing plays he hoped to take, if not to Broadway, at least off-Broadway. But he would not make his mark in the arts until 1961, when Downey started to write and direct low-budget counterculture short films, starting with Ball's Bluff, about a Civil War soldier who wakes up in New York City's Central Park a century later. In 1969, he would write and direct a satirical film about the only black executive at a Madison Avenue advertising firm who is, through a strange circumstance, becomes the head of the firm when its chairman unexpectedly passes away. Featuring a cameo by Mel Brooks Putney Swope was the perfect anti-establishment film for the end of that decade, and the $120k film would gross more than $2.75m during its successful year and a half run in theatres. 1970's Pound, based on one of Downey's early plays, would be his first movie to be distributed by a major distributor, although it was independently produced outside the Hollywood system. Several dogs, played by humans, are at a pound, waiting to be euthanized. Oh, did I forget to mention it was a comedy? The film would be somewhat of a success at the time, but today, it's best known as being the acting debut of the director's five year old son, Robert Downey, Jr., although the young boy would be credited as Bob Downey. 1972's Greaser Palace was part of an early 1970s trend of trippy “acid Westerns,” like Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo and Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie. Character actor Allan Arbus plays Jesse, a man with amnesia who heals the sick, resurrects the dead and tap dances on water on the American frontier. It would be the first movie Downey would make with a million dollar budget. The critical consensus of the film at the time was not positive, although Jay Cocks, a critic for Time Magazine who would go on to be a regular screenwriter for Martin Scorsese in the 1980s, would proclaim the film to be “the most adventurous movie of the year.” The film was not a hit, and it would be decades before it would be discovered and appreciated by the next generation of cineastes. After another disappointing film, 1975's Moment to Moment, which would later be retitled Two Tons of Turquoise to Taos Tonight in order to not be confused with the 1978 movie of the same name starring John Travolta and Lily Tomlin that really, truly stunk, Downey would take some time off from filmmaking to deal with his divorce from his first wife and to spend more time with his son Robert and daughter Allyson. By 1978, Robert Downey was ready to get back to work. He would get a job quickly helping Chuck Barris write a movie version of Barris' cult television show, The Gong Show, but that wasn't going to pay the bills with two teenagers at home. What would, though, is the one thing he hadn't done yet in movies… Direct a Hollywood film. Enter Mad Magazine. In 1978, Mad Magazine was one of the biggest humor magazines in America. I had personally discovered Mad in late 1977, when my dad, stepmom and I were on a cross country trip, staying with friends outside Detroit, the day before my tenth birthday, when I saw an issue of Mad at a local grocery store, with something Star Wars-y on its cover. I begged my dad to give me the sixty cents to buy it, and I don't think I missed another issue for the next decade. Mad's biggest competition in the humor magazine game was National Lampoon, which appealed to a more adult funny bone than Mad. In 1978, National Lampoon saw a huge boost in sales when the John Landis-directed comedy Animal House, which had the name of the magazine in the title, became an unexpected smash hit at the box office. Warner Brothers, the media conglomerate who happened to own Mad Magazine, was eager to do something similar, and worked with Mad's publisher, Bill Gaines, to find the right script that could be molded into a Mad Magazine movie, even if, like Animal House, it wouldn't have any real connection to the magazine itself. They would find that script in The Brave Young Men of Weinberg, a comedy script by Tom Patchett and Jay Tarses, a pair of television comedy writers on shows like The Carol Burnett Show, The Sandy Duncan Show, The Bob Newhart Show and The Tony Randall Show, who had never sold a movie script before. The story would follow the misadventures of four teenage boys who, for different reasons, depend on each other for their very survival when they end up at the same military academy. Now, of all the research I've done for this episode, the one very important aspect of the production I was never able to find out was exactly how Robert Downey became involved in the film. Again, he had never made a Hollywood movie before. He had only made one movie with a budget of a million dollars. His movies were satirical and critical of society in general. This was not a match made in heaven. But somehow, someone at Warner Brothers thought he'd be the right director for the film, and somehow, Downey didn't disagree. Unlike Animal House, Downey and Warners didn't try to land a known commodity like John Belushi to play one of the four leads. In fact, all four of the leads, Wendell Brown, Tommy Citera, Joseph Hutchinson, and Ralph Macchio, would all be making their feature debuts. But there would be some familiar faces in the film. Ron Liebman, who was a familiar face from such films has Slaughterhouse-Five, Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood and Norma Rae, would play the head of the Academy. Tom Poston, who played Mindy's downstairs neighbor on Mork and Mindy, plays what would now be considered to be a rather offensive gay caricature as the guy who handles the uniforms of the cadets, Antonio Fargas, best known as Huggy Bear on Starsky and Hutch but who had previously worked with Downey on Putney Swope and Pound, as the Coach, and Barbara Bach, who had starred as Anya Amasova in the 1977 Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. The $5m film would begin production in Salina, Kansas, on September 17th, 1979, still using the title The Brave Young Men of Weinberg. The primary shooting location would be the St. John's Military School, which was still functioning while the film was in production, and would use most of the 144 students as extras during the shoot. The film would shoot for nine weeks without much incident, and the cast and crew would be home in time to enjoy Thanksgiving with their friends and family. Unlike Animal House, the makers of The Brave Young Men of Weinberg did attempt to tie the movie into the magazine that would be presenting the film. At the very end of the movie, the magazine's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, shows up on the side of the road, to wave goodbye to people and deliver his signature line, “What, Me Worry?” in a thought bubble that leads into the end credits. The person wearing the not quite realistic looking Neuman head gear, fourteen year old Scott Shapiro, was the son of the executive vice president of worldwide production at Warner Brothers. After the first of the year, as Downey worked on his edit of the film, the studio decided to change the title from The Brave Young Men of Weinberg to Mad Magazine Presents Up the Academy. Bill Gaines, the publisher of Mad Magazine, suggested a slightly different title, Mad Magazine Completely Disassociates Itself from Up the Academy, but the studio decided that was too long for theater marquees. But we'll come back to that in a moment. Warner Brothers set a June 6, 1980 release for the film, and Downey would finish his cut of the film by the end of March. A screening on the Warners lot in early April did not go well. Ron Liebman hated the film so much, he demanded that Warners completely remove his name from everything associated with the film. His name would not appear on the poster, the newspaper ads, the television commercials, the lobby cards, the press kit, or even in the movie itself. Bill Gaines would hate it to, such much in fact that he really did try to disassociate the magazine from the film. In a 1983 interview with The Comics Journal, Gaines would explain without much detail that there were a number of things he had objected to in the script that he was told would not be shot and not end up in the final film that were shot and did end up in the final film. But he wouldn't be able to get the magazine's name off the movie before it opened in theatres. Now, one of the problems with trying to research how well films did in 1980 is that you really have only two sources for grosses, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, and they didn't always report national grosses every week, depending on outside factors. It just hadn't the national sport it's been since, say, 1983. So when Up the Academy opened in theatres on June 6th, we don't have a full idea of how many theatres it played in nationwide, or how much it grossed. The closest thing we do have for this Variety's listing of the top movies of the week based on a limited selection of showcase theatres in the top 20 markets. So we know that the film played at 7 showcase screens in New York City that weekend, grossing $175k, and in Los Angeles on 15 showcase screens, grossing $149k. But we also know, thanks to newspaper ads in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times that the film was playing in 11 theatres in the New York Metro area, and in 30 theatres in the Los Angeles Metro area, so those listed grosses are merely a snapshot and not the whole picture. According to Variety's limited tracking of major market showcase theatres for the week, Up the Academy was the second highest grossing film of the week, bringing in $729k from 82 theatres. And according to their chart's side notes, this usually accounts for about 25% of a movie's national gross, if a film is playing in wide release around the entire country. In its second week, Up the Academy would place ninth on that showcase theatre listing, with $377k from 87 theatres. But by the time Variety did bring back proper national grosses in the film's third week of release, there would be no mention of Up the Academy in those listings, as Warners by this time had bigger fish to handle, namely Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Shining, and Bronco Billy, their Clint Eastwood movie for the year. In that showcase theatre listing, though, Up the Academy had fallen to 16th place, with $103k from 34 theatres. In fact, there is no publicly available record of how many theatres Up the Academy played in during its theatrical run, and it wouldn't be until the 1981 Warner Brothers 10-K annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that Up the Academy had earned $10m from American movie theatres. If studios get about 55% of the box office grosses in rental fees, that would put the $5m film in a very good position to be profitable, depending on how much was spent on P&A, prints and advertising. The film wasn't an Animal House-level hit, but it wasn't exactly the bomb many have painted it to be. After Up the Academy, two of the actors, Wendell Brown and Joseph Hutchinson, would never act in another movie, although, billed as Hutch Parker, the latter would produce six X-Men related movies between 2013 and 2019, including Logan. Tommy Citera would make two more movies until he left acting in 1988. And Ralph Macchio would, of course, go on to play Daniel LaRusso, the Karate Kid, in a career-defining role that he's still playing nearly forty years later. Robert Downey would make another wacky comedy, called Moonbeam, in 1982. Co-written with Richard Belzer, Moonbeam would feature a fairly interesting cast including Zack Norman, Tammy Grimes, Michael J. Pollard, Liz Torres and Mr. Belzer, and tells the story of a New York cable television station that becomes world famous when they accidentally bounce their signal off the moon. But the film would not get released until October 1986, in one theatre in New York City for one week. It couldn't even benefit from being able to promote Robert Downey, Jr., who in the ensuing years had started to build an acting career by being featured in John Sayles' Baby It's You, Fritz Kiersch's Tuff Turf, John Hughes' Weird Science, and the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School, as well as being a member of the cast of Saturday Night Live for a year. There's be sporadic work in television, working on shows like Matlock and The Twilight Zone, but what few movies he could get made would be pale shadows of her earlier, edgier work. Even with his son regularly taking supporting roles in his dad's movies to help the old man out, movies like Rented Lips and Too Much Sun would be critically panned and ignored by audiences. His final movie as a writer and director, Hugo Pool, would gross just $13k when it was released in December 1997, despite having a cast that included Patrick Dempsey, Richard Lewis, Malcolm McDowell, Alyssa Milano, Cathy Moriarty and Sean Penn, along with Junior. Downey would also continue to act in other director's movies, including two written and directed by one of his biggest fans, Paul Thomas Anderson. Downey would play Burt, the studio manager, in Boogie Nights, and the WDKK Show director in Magnolia. Anderson adored Downey so much, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker would sit down with Downey for a four-part conversation filmed for the Criterion Company in 2013. Robert Downey would pass away in July 2021, a curious footnote in the history of cinema, mostly because of the superstar he sired. Most of his movies are hard to find on video, and nearly impossible to find on streaming services, outside of a wonderful two disc DVD set issued by Criterion's Eclipse specialty label and several titles streaming on The Criterion Channel. Outside of Up the Academy, which is available to rent or purchase from Amazon, Apple TV and several other streaming services, you can find Putney Swope, Greaser's Palace and Too Much Sun on several of the more popular streaming services, but the majority of them are completely missing in action. You can also learn more about Robert Downey in Sr., a documentary streaming on Netflix produced by Robert Downey, Jr. where the son recounts the life and career of his recently passed father, alongside Paul Thomas Anderson, Alan Arkin, and mega-producer Norman Lear.

According to Variety's limited tracking of major market showcase theatres for the week, Up the Academy was the second highest grossing film of the week, bringing in $729k from 82 theatres. And according to their chart's side notes, this usually accounts for about 25% of a movie's national gross, if a film is playing in wide release around the entire country. In its second week, Up the Academy would place ninth on that showcase theatre listing, with $377k from 87 theatres. But by the time Variety did bring back proper national grosses in the film's third week of release, there would be no mention of Up the Academy in those listings, as Warners by this time had bigger fish to handle, namely Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Shining, and Bronco Billy, their Clint Eastwood movie for the year. In that showcase theatre listing, though, Up the Academy had fallen to 16th place, with $103k from 34 theatres. In fact, there is no publicly available record of how many theatres Up the Academy played in during its theatrical run, and it wouldn't be until the 1981 Warner Brothers 10-K annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that Up the Academy had earned $10m from American movie theatres. If studios get about 55% of the box office grosses in rental fees, that would put the $5m film in a very good position to be profitable, depending on how much was spent on P&A, prints and advertising. The film wasn't an Animal House-level hit, but it wasn't exactly the bomb many have painted it to be. After Up the Academy, two of the actors, Wendell Brown and Joseph Hutchinson, would never act in another movie, although, billed as Hutch Parker, the latter would produce six X-Men related movies between 2013 and 2019, including Logan. Tommy Citera would make two more movies until he left acting in 1988. And Ralph Macchio would, of course, go on to play Daniel LaRusso, the Karate Kid, in a career-defining role that he's still playing nearly forty years later. Robert Downey would make another wacky comedy, called Moonbeam, in 1982. Co-written with Richard Belzer, Moonbeam would feature a fairly interesting cast including Zack Norman, Tammy Grimes, Michael J. Pollard, Liz Torres and Mr. Belzer, and tells the story of a New York cable television station that becomes world famous when they accidentally bounce their signal off the moon. But the film would not get released until October 1986, in one theatre in New York City for one week. It couldn't even benefit from being able to promote Robert Downey, Jr., who in the ensuing years had started to build an acting career by being featured in John Sayles' Baby It's You, Fritz Kiersch's Tuff Turf, John Hughes' Weird Science, and the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School, as well as being a member of the cast of Saturday Night Live for a year. There's be sporadic work in television, working on shows like Matlock and The Twilight Zone, but what few movies he could get made would be pale shadows of her earlier, edgier work. Even with his son regularly taking supporting roles in his dad's movies to help the old man out, movies like Rented Lips and Too Much Sun would be critically panned and ignored by audiences. His final movie as a writer and director, Hugo Pool, would gross just $13k when it was released in December 1997, despite having a cast that included Patrick Dempsey, Richard Lewis, Malcolm McDowell, Alyssa Milano, Cathy Moriarty and Sean Penn, along with Junior. Downey would also continue to act in other director's movies, including two written and directed by one of his biggest fans, Paul Thomas Anderson. Downey would play Burt, the studio manager, in Boogie Nights, and the WDKK Show director in Magnolia. Anderson adored Downey so much, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker would sit down with Downey for a four-part conversation filmed for the Criterion Company in 2013. Robert Downey would pass away in July 2021, a curious footnote in the history of cinema, mostly because of the superstar he sired. Most of his movies are hard to find on video, and nearly impossible to find on streaming services, outside of a wonderful two disc DVD set issued by Criterion's Eclipse specialty label and several titles streaming on The Criterion Channel. Outside of Up the Academy, which is available to rent or purchase from Amazon, Apple TV and several other streaming services, you can find Putney Swope, Greaser's Palace and Too Much Sun on several of the more popular streaming services, but the majority of them are completely missing in action. You can also learn more about Robert Downey in Sr., a documentary streaming on Netflix produced by Robert Downey, Jr. where the son recounts the life and career of his recently passed father, alongside Paul Thomas Anderson, Alan Arkin, and mega-producer Norman Lear.

From a troubled childhood to acclaimed Peloton cycling instructor, Alex Touissant joins The Pivot Podcast to share his journey of success, the impact military school has had on his life and how searching for validation from his father shaped who he is today. From becoming the first black trainer at Peloton to now one of the biggest faces of the movement, Ryan, Fred, and Channing engage in a deep conversation about his journey and how it all started. Alex opens up about his “troubled childhood” and being kicked out of every single school he's ever attended. His struggles led to his parents taking a tough love approach which helped mold and ultimately change the direction of Alex's life. Going years without speaking to his father, Alex opens up emotionally that military school instilled principles and habits that will remain with him forever and the appreciation of hearing the words, "I'm proud of you," from his father is the most instrumental moment of his life. From college dropout to being homeless, Alex shares how he wanted more for himself and had nothing to lose which is why one day, he took his coworker up on an offer to train a cycling class... Since then, Alex has rode his way into history impacting lives around the world and leaving a footprint far beyond what he could imagine as a young college drop out. Mending his relationship with his father and retiring his mother, life looks a lot different each day now as he realizes the impact he has with millions of people who he is able to motivate through movement. However, with great power comes great responsibility. Being the first Black instructor hired by Peloton wasn't easy but the hardest time at work stemmed from the murder of George Floyd. Alex used his platform to speak on the inequality the Black community experienced, a decision that Peloton supported 100%. This support serves as one of the reasons he's most proud to work for Peloton. And it wouldn't be our show, if Channing didn't ask the important stuff! Tune into hear the craziness he asks Alex about and ofcourse getting into his personal life...Channing asks if he's blown away with how far cycling has taken him in life and wants to know what it's like being the center focus of so many females tuning in everyday.

More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2022-2023 survey, with 665 earning special awards for going above the standard.

Dan Kanivas is a true Renaissance man. As an Army Airborne Ranger, he spent time as an artillery officer near the DMZ on the Korean peninsula and later worked closely with Iraqi officers during the Iraq War, where he trained a 130-soldier Iraqi Army unit while serving as a strategic advisor to senior Iraqi Army officers. He has since shifted his sights toward both public investing and angel investing with Triple Summit Advisors, all while prepping to summit Mount Rainier.

Our guest today is a true Renaissance man. As an Army Airborne Ranger, he spent time as an artillery officer near the DMZ on the Korean peninsula. And he shifted his sights toward both public investing and angel investing while prepping to summit Mount Rainier. Give it up to my friend, Dan Kanivas. Brian Schoenborn 0:25 My name is Brian Schoenborn. I'm an explorer of people, places and culture. In my travels, spanning over 20 countries across four continents, I've had the pleasure of engaging in authentic conversations with amazingly interesting people. These are their stories, on-location and unfiltered. Presented by 8B Media, this is Half the City. Brian Schoenborn 0:52 So what's up, Dan, thanks for coming out. Appreciate it. Dan Kanivas 0:55 Yeah, thanks for having me on the show, Brian. It's great to be here. Brian Schoenborn 0:57 Awesome. You know I've always had a respect for Airborne, Rangers, right? Stuff like that, you know, you're watching the movies, the 101st Airborne, you know, dropping down from the skies on like D-day or whatever else. You know, Hollywood's done a really good job, kind of, I don't wanna say romanticizing, but like maybe, you know, telling your story anyways. Right? Dan Kanivas 1:24 Right. Brian Schoenborn 1:26 And when you told me the other day that you've done both Airborne School and Ranger School, I was like, wow, this guy is legit. And you never would guess because he is one of the most calm, cool and collected dudes. I think that I know anyways. Dan Kanivas 1:40 I appreciate that. Brian Schoenborn 1:43 So, um, so why don't you tell me a little bit about like, you know how you made that decision to join the Army. How you made the decision to move towards Airborne School, Ranger School. I'd love to hear about you know the challenges of each. Dan Kanivas 2:02 Yeah. Alright, so let's start. That's a, that's a multi part question. So let's, let's start with the decision join the military. So I grew up in Scarsdale, New York, which really nice suburban community in the suburbs of New York. I was very lucky, as were other members of the community, to have the resources, whether it's great school, safe neighborhood, very great public services, etc. Caring community where children were put first, and students were put first. And so as a result, we had every opportunity available to us. And I was very grateful for that. And I felt like a system and a country that could produce something like that was worth defending. I wanted to give back and show my gratitude for it. Dan Kanivas 2:45 There are a lot of ways to get back, whether it's public service, volunteering, whatever it might be. In my case, I'd always had some interest in military history and I was athletic enough. I said, Okay, I wanted to give back by serving. I felt like that was my way where I could show my gratitude and then continue with the rest of my life. Luckily for me, that's basically how it worked out. And I did four and a half years of service and active duty as a field artillery officer in the US Army. Brian Schoenborn 3:15 So for those listening, you know, For the uninitiated artillery is what? The big guns? Dan Kanivas 3:21 The big guns, that's right. Brian Schoenborn 3:22 Like the cannons, Dan Kanivas 3:23 and the rockets, etc. And so I had the privilege of serving there with some fantastic soldiers, fantastic leaders. And I had overall a great time in the military and there'd be very few things I trade it for. For me, my path towards Ranger and Airborne School started with my initial training as an artillery officer. So at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, we got the option while we're doing our officer basic course for artillery. We got the option of trying out for Ranger School. Dan Kanivas 3:59 And what that entails is showing up in the morning to do a lot of PT physical training, a lot of exercise with the instructors that we had. So I was a lieutenant of time and there was a captain who was an instructor who, at the artillery school who also happened to be Ranger qualified so he had gone to Ranger School. This is back in 2005. Dan Kanivas 4:24 The instructor and instructors, there were multiple of them by the end of it, would lead us through training just to get us familiarized with some basic things that would be required of the, required of us at Ranger School, but mainly it was a lot of physical training. And so the first day of the training, maybe half the class showed up and on purpose just like they do in other military schools, the instructors, to use the military terminology, smoked the hell out of you. Right. Brian Schoenborn 4:54 They're trying to separate the men from the boys. Dan Kanivas 4:56 They purposely make it difficult in the first day because they want to see who wants to come back the next day. So, yeah, so the I had a pretty big class at the officer basics course. And I want to say we had class with 120 or 130. Somewhere around those lines. So maybe 60 people showed up the first day. Brian Schoenborn 5:14 And it was all officers? Dan Kanivas 5:15 It was all officers, all lieutenants. Yeah. And then the next day, 30 people showed up. And so the, the group of people who are training for Ranger School was cut back quickly. And we did this for the whole entire five or six months that we were there. And I think in the end, we ended up sending somewhere between 12 to 15 people who made it through that pre-Ranger prep program. Brian Schoenborn 5:39 So you're talking like 10% ish, of the original, like 120 that showed up for the for that signed up for it. Dan Kanivas 5:47 Yeah, maybe 60 people showed up the first day, so maybe 20% of them, or so made it and made it through them and 25% and then I think we ended up graduating from Ranger School, those 12 or so people who went, I think we end up graduating maybe six, seven or eight, something like that. I know at least one guy I was friends with, couldn't make it through at that time or have to drop out but then he subsequently went back and so good for him. I think he's still in the reserves actually. Dan Kanivas 6:17 But anyways, yeah, that was the process of, of getting there of starting it. And in my case, it was never a gigantic goal of mine. Some people were gunning for it and they had to do it. Brian Schoenborn 6:30 Yeah sure. Dan Kanivas 6:31 You know, the kind of the two leaders in our class who I'm still friends with today, who are, you know, corralling us all, encouraging us all to, to do this pre-Ranger prep. They they were gunning for they they knew that this is what they wanted to do. In my case, I just put one foot in from the other. And a lot of it's just about not giving up, right? At Ranger School, they they call someone who quits not, they don't say it, it's you quit because you couldn't, you know, handle the technical aspects of it or something like that, or because your muscles were too weak or something. They say you quit because you are an LOM: lack of motivation. Brian Schoenborn 7:09 There you go. Dan Kanivas 7:09 Right? And so you put one foot in front of the other, you're not guaranteed to succeed and graduate. Definitely not. But it is the main part, in my opinion of being able to graduate from Ranger School is putting one foot in front of the other. Brian Schoenborn 7:23 Yeah, you know, I kind of relate it to my own experience, right? Like I was a marine. And, and there's statistics somewhere, like, I heard this before I joined maybe it changed in the last 20 years. But before I joined, I remember seeing or hearing a statistic, talking about, like, one in five recruits that enter boot camp don't make it. Brian Schoenborn 7:47 right. Brian Schoenborn 7:49 And for the Marines, you know, it's one of those things where, you know, you'll be able to do the physical stuff. Dan Kanivas 7:56 Right. Brian Schoenborn 7:56 As long as you can pass the minimum physical fitness tests. Which is like three pull ups, you know, 60 crunches in a second, like a five k in like less than 20 minutes or something. It's not like extreme. As long as you can pass those minimum PFT requirements, you know, it's really more mental than anything. Dan Kanivas 8:15 Sure. Yeah, absolutely. I think a lot of a lot of military training military schools are very mental, very psychological. And that's intentional. that's intentional. You do leave Ranger School, and this is not a new sentiment that I'm expressing other people express this too, you do leave Ranger School, if you pass it feeling like you're fairly impervious to things that life can throw at you. Brian Schoenborn 8:41 Oh know, for sure. It's the same with the Marines. Dan Kanivas 8:45 Put it lightly right Brian Schoenborn 8:46 You get through there and you're just like, “I could do anything. I'm Superman!” Dan Kanivas 8:50 Exactly. Exactly. And so that that is the whole intent. That's the whole intent, right, of any Military School. And so… Brian Schoenborn 9:02 Last thing you want is somebody going into, you know, going into fire potentially with any sort of self-doubt. Dan Kanivas 9:09 Right, right. Brian Schoenborn 9:10 Hesitation will kill you. Dan Kanivas 9:11 Right. That's completely the idea and the military, US military is fantastic at training people to be able to do those sorts of things. To act against your basic instinct of self-preservation and do things that are essential for the survival of the team, the accomplishment of the mission. Brian Schoenborn 9:30 Absolutely. Dan Kanivas 9:31 So anyways, that was me at Ranger School, which took me a little while to get through. I didn't get through it right away. I didn't I wasn't a true blue just pass every phase the first time ago. took me a little while but I got through. Brian Schoenborn 9:45 And that's perseverance and resilience. Dan Kanivas 9:46 There you go there. Yeah, that's right. Brian Schoenborn 9:49 There's a lot of bunch of character. Dan Kanivas 9:50 There you go. That is one way to look at it. Dan Kanivas 9:53 And then for airborne school, a lot of people go to Ranger School already Airborne qualified meaning they've successfully passed Airborne School, but in my case I didn't. I got sent to Ranger School first. Brian Schoenborn 10:05 Okay. Dan Kanivas 10:06 Basically once you pass Ranger School, you're already at Fort Benning when you when you finish up which is the home of the infantry and also the home and Airborne School, and they're going to give you — the the people who are responsible for processing you — give you orders Airborne School after that, because oftentimes those two things go together. The Airborne Ranger, you know, the missions go together. And, they generally had extra slots to give right there at Fort Benning, and so I just got a slot for the next one. Dan Kanivas 10:37 And so, typically every school certainly is an intense school, you're jumping out of airplanes, right? And safety is paramount and taking care of, of your buddies your teammates is paramount and certainly the instructors there are not, not kind about any any infractions, right? Brian Schoenborn 10:55 I'm sure. Dan Kanivas 10:56 But given the experience, I just previously gone through Ranger School, Airborne School was relatively easy. And so I I use it as mainly a three-week vacation. Brian Schoenborn 11:08 So you got your Ranger School and you're just like, “Yeah, I'm good. I'll just breeze right through here, chill on the beach.” Dan Kanivas 11:13 Yeah, I wouldn't have felt that way that I'm not just been through that experience, but because I had it felt that way to me. It's all about relative intensity. Brian Schoenborn 11:22 You're seeing these guys struggling and you're like, psh! Dan Kanivas 11:25 Yeah, I wouldn't go that far. We're still, I still out there in the you know, the in the Georgia heat and in June, but yeah, Brian Schoenborn 11:33 I mean, all due respect to everybody. Dan Kanivas 11:34 Yes, of course. Brian Schoenborn 11:36 Of course, you know, it's all relative, like you said. Dan Kanivas 11:38 That's right. It's all relative. It just happened to be that I was coming out of… Brian Schoenborn 11:42 of a different situations. Dan Kanivas 11:43 Yeah, right. Exactly. So and yeah, and that was the that was my training in the military. It took a year for me to get through six months of my Artillery School and then Ranger School and Airborne School and there's some kind of downtime in between all these things. So yeah, I spent a year and training. And then they sent me off my first actual duty station, which was Korea where, again, the privilege of serving for two years. Brian Schoenborn 12:09 So we're so so this was near the DMZ, right? Dan Kanivas 12:12 Yes. So at the time, the I'm not sure where where everyone's stationed now. But at the time I was stationed north of Seoul, but not quite the DMZ. At two different bases, Camp Red Cloud and Camp Casey, who my dog's name after, by the way. At those two duty stations, I served with the second Infantry Division the whole time, but specifically the artillery unit that I was with at Camp Casey was 138 field artillery, which has rocket launchers. MLRS, multiple launch rocket system, rocket launchers as its primary weapon system. Brian Schoenborn 12:54 So were, I'm just trying to get an understanding of like, where about you? I mean, you said you're near the DMZ, But like, can you maybe show me on a map? Dan Kanivas 13:02 So yeah, sure. So… Brian Schoenborn 13:03 So audience listening at home, you could just just kind of visualize it. Dan Kanivas 13:06 So if you pull up Google Maps and zoom in on Seoul, which is towards the northwest of South Korea. Brian Schoenborn 13:13 Yeah, I'm looking at it as it's I mean, I've been to Seoul yet. So it's it's literally like, what 20 miles or something? Dan Kanivas 13:19 Yeah, from from the border. Brian Schoenborn 13:20 From the border, from the North Korea border? Dan Kanivas 13:22 And Seoul is well within artillery range of the North Korean artillery. That's near the border. And as a result, that means all the American troops and ROK, Republic of Korea troops, who are north of Seoul, also within archery range of the North Korean guns, and so… Brian Schoenborn 13:40 …and that's what, the 49th parallel? Dan Kanivas 13:43 I think so i think so. Brian Schoenborn 13:44 49 or 47th, something like that. Dan Kanivas 13:45 I think so. Yeah. And so you see this Wejunboo here? Brian Schoenborn 13:48 Yep. Dan Kanivas 13:49 That was,that is where Camp Red Cloud is located. And so I was stationed there for a little bit and then further north in Tongduchun there is where Camp Casey's located where I was stationed for my second year. Brian Schoenborn 13:59 Huh, yeah, so that's literally I mean, that was like, probably no more than like 20 miles. Dan Kanivas 14:05 Yeah, it's it's pretty short. It's it's not a lot of distance. And while you're stationed in Korea, you also had the opportunity to do the JSA tour, if you saw these…the JSA stands for Joint Security Area. If you saw the news footage about Donald Trump crossing into North Korea. That's exactly where you where you do it. And so you can as a US service member, go and visit there and take a tour and you know, the US service members and Korean service members who are there, both maintaining the area and protecting the area will take you on a tour of the area. Brian Schoenborn 14:41 So do they allow you to cross the border? Dan Kanivas 14:43 Technically, I've crossed into North Korea technically, yeah. Brian Schoenborn 14:46 Wow. Dan Kanivas 14:46 What they do is there's these buildings, which again, you can see in the footage with Donald Trump. They're these buildings where the negotiations between the two sides have historically happened. These buildings are bisected by the border, by the actual border. Brian Schoenborn 15:00 So like, is there, like, a demarcation line or something like that? Dan Kanivas 15:04 There is. If you look at any pictures of it, you can see there's a line. And so what the on the tour, what they'll do is they'll take you on the tour, and they'll go, one of the Korean guards will go and check the building and go lock the far side door that's in North Korean territory. And then you go inside the building, and when you're inside the building, you can see all around the building and technically cross into North Korea. Brian Schoenborn 15:27 You know, it's interesting, because I've heard so many stories of like, you know, North Koreans trying to defect and crossing the border and right, you know, getting shot or something like that. Dan Kanivas 15:37 Right. Brian Schoenborn 15:37 So like, you know, so everything that I've heard throughout the years is like, the DMZ, like that line border is like the most dangerous border in the world, because there's never officially the war has never officially ended. Dan Kanivas 15:49 Right. It's still under an armistice. And so it is they're there. It's a heavily guarded border. You wouldn't cross there at the JSA because there's a lot of attention at that location, but I imagine there are other points along the border where there the defenses are softer. It's less monitored at any given time. Also, defectors go through China as well as Russia. Because both of those countries border North Korea. Brian Schoenborn 16:18 Well, I've heard there's actually a whole like, almost like an underground railroad to us like an American historical reference. Dan Kanivas 16:24 Yes. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 16:24 But there's you know, there's like this whole network of people that like help get people through. The northern border. Through China. And and yeah, maybe down to like Southeast Asia or something like that. Back to the south. Dan Kanivas 16:35 Exactly. Yeah, exactly. That's that's exactly how that underground railroad works. Brian Schoenborn 16:41 Yeah, in essence, right? Pretty much the same thing? Dan Kanivas 16:43 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 16:45 I wonder like, so so you cross over the border. Dan Kanivas 16:48 Right. Brian Schoenborn 16:51 And…how do I say this? So what was the experience like? You said heavily heavily guarded is it also like, you know, let me put it this way. When I was living in China, all right? I was in Beijing. I've got a lot of friends that have visited North Korea. Americans, English, other expats. Americans can only fly in. Dan Kanivas 17:19 Okay. Brian Schoenborn 17:19 For example. Dan Kanivas 17:19 Okay, they can't drive into the Chinese border? Brian Schoenborn 17:22 They can't take the train through the Chinese border. Dan Kanivas 17:23 Right. Brian Schoenborn 17:24 I forget the name of the city, Dongdan or something. Dan Kanivas 17:27 Okay. Brian Schoenborn 17:28 But if you're if you're English, you can take the train. Dan Kanivas 17:31 Okay. Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 17:32 If you're American, you have to fly in. And from what I understand, like it's the most eye opening like, surreal experiences they've ever had. Dan Kanivas 17:42 Yeah, that's what everyone says. Yeah. Right. Brian Schoenborn 17:44 You know, like, it's one of those things where you can only go the tour group. Dan Kanivas 17:48 Yep. Brian Schoenborn 17:49 And you do absolutely everything. Dan Kanivas 17:53 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 17:54 That they tell you to. Dan Kanivas 17:54 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 17:55 You don't do anything else. Dan Kanivas 17:56 Right. Brian Schoenborn 17:57 I've got some friends at ran the Pyongyang marathon. Dan Kanivas 18:00 Wow. Brian Schoenborn 18:00 Right? Which they've done every year for the last, I don't know, five years at least, something like that. Dan Kanivas 18:05 Okay. Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 18:06 But it's one of those things where the North Koreans run first. Dan Kanivas 18:10 Okay. Brian Schoenborn 18:10 So that way they Dan Kanivas 18:11 So they win…Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 18:15 North Koreans get the head start. Um, but I've got friends that have done that and I've got a, I've actually got a friend, I think he's still in Beijing, but he owns and operates this tour group in North Korea. In fact, he actually he was the tour group operator that was heading this group in which Otto Warmbier was arrested… Dan Kanivas 18:46 Right, for potentially doing…he was accused of… Brian Schoenborn 18:49 Apparently apparently what happened is he tried to steal a poster or something. Like, apprently a propaganda poster or something. Dan Kanivas 18:55 Right, right. Right. Brian Schoenborn 18:56 We don't need to get into all that, like it's just kind of a, I know some people that have significant experience in North Korea, that's the point that I'm making. So when I hear that it's like a surreal experience, you know, I'm just kind of curious if you've had anything similar like that in your experience crossing the border, even though it may have been limited since you're in this building. Dan Kanivas 19:17 No, no, I did not have any experiences like that every. I think most people who have that JSA Joint Security Area experience is going to be very similar to mine. Brian Schoenborn 19:26 Yeah. Dan Kanivas 19:27 It's very scripted. Designed to be that way. Brian Schoenborn 19:33 Yeah. Dan Kanivas 19:34 It's still a singular experience a unique experience, because there's not too many other places in the world where… Brian Schoenborn 19:44 I don't know if there's any place in the world that's like that. Dan Kanivas 19:45 Exactly, right. There may be not there may not be right. But it's not anything like actually going to Pyongyang and running a marathon there. That's, I can't imagine what that's like. Brian Schoenborn 19:55 Well, maybe even something like that, like from what I hear from what I've heard, um like, as soon as you land or arrive in North Korea, the police or the guards, whatever. They'll take your phone and they'll go through all your photos. Dan Kanivas 20:08 Yeah, I'm sure. Brian Schoenborn 20:09 And makes sure that there's nothing that's like wouldn't be in line with the North Korea's values. Dan Kanivas 20:14 Yeah, I'm sure. Brian Schoenborn 20:15 And I guess they check your footagae, you cameras, and all that stuff as you're leaving. Dan Kanivas 20:18 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 20:19 Make sure you're not you know, it makes you like there's there's apparently there's only one way you can take pictures of the dear leaders. Dan Kanivas 20:24 Okay. Brian Schoenborn 20:25 Right? Things like that, so so if you're like, even veering off from that a little bit, you're screwed. Dan Kanivas 20:30 Yeah, yeah. I, this is not a level of risk that I would be comfortable taking, but more power to the people who want that sort of adventure in their lives. Brian Schoenborn 20:40 You know what's funny is, a couple of my friends were like, yo, let's do the Pyongyang marathon. And I'm like, Oh, that sounds sweet. Let's do it. Like, I'll fall in line and do absolutely everything that you know, not color out of the lines. Dan Kanivas 20:52 Sure. Brian Schoenborn 20:53 Right? And I put a message on Facebook. I was like, I think I'm gonna go to North Korea and my mom and my older sister were freaking out, dude. Dan Kanivas 21:02 Yeah, sure. Brian Schoenborn 21:03 They're like, Oh my god, Brian, you've done some like, you know, you've done some crazy things in your life, but please don't do this. Dan Kanivas 21:09 Right. Right. Brian Schoenborn 21:11 So I buckled in our didn't go. Dan Kanivas 21:13 Yeah, yeah. Brian Schoenborn 21:15 So what do you think you're kind of bringing back to this this DMZ thing? You mentioned? You know, Donald Trump stepped over? Dan Kanivas 21:22 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 21:24 What do you kind of make of all of that sort of curiosity? Dan Kanivas 21:28 I don't have much an opinion on it. I'm not a Trump supporter. Brian Schoenborn 21:33 Yeah. Dan Kanivas 21:34 And so… Brian Schoenborn 21:35 I'm not trying to be too political, but it is a historical moment. Dan Kanivas 21:39 Yeah. I don't know. How much intention was behind it. I don't know generally what his strategy or lack thereof is with North Korea. Brian Schoenborn 21:49 Yeah. Dan Kanivas 21:50 All I know is I'm not a Trump supporter in any way, shape, or form. Brian Schoenborn 21:54 Yeah, no, I mean, same here. You know, I feel like he's he ramped up this crisis unnecessarily, in my opinion. Dan Kanivas 22:04 Sure. Brian Schoenborn 22:06 And now he's going to try to find a way to put it back the way it was before. And, like, claim the victory. Dan Kanivas 22:11 Sure. Brian Schoenborn 22:13 Like he's done with so many other just like, Jesus, dude. Sorry, anyways, we can we can move on from that. What other stuff did you do as an artie officer? Like where like, were you, were you other places as well, or..? So you mentioned you're there for like two years? Dan Kanivas 22:29 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 22:29 How long were you in the service overall? Dan Kanivas 22:30 So four and a half years in active duty. So I mentioned one year and training two years in Korea, where most of the time not the whole time I was actually doing an artillery job. I was also a general's aide for a little bit. And then after that, I got orders to go to Iraq on a military transition team and what those what those teams are, MIT teams for short. Acronyms for everything in military, of course. On the MIT team, we were responsible for training Iraqi security forces, be they Army, be the police, so that we could eventually pull out. Brian Schoenborn 23:06 Right. Dan Kanivas 23:06 And they can be self sufficient. And so this was back in 2008. I got I got the orders 2007, but I deployed in 2008, after some training at Fort Riley, Kansas. And while…you have a question? Brian Schoenborn 23:20 Yeah, well, I'm just thinking like 2008 we're were we with the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts? Was that during like the counterinsurgency plan, or…? Dan Kanivas 23:30 Yes, it was, it was during the surge, and so the unit I relieved, the MIT team that I relieved, was just coming down off the surge. They'd been there for the surge, and I was relieving them. And so luckily, I think history will show this to be true. It certainly felt that way to me over there, the surge worked, it worked. The additional deployment of troops and also more importantly the deployment of a strategy to solve the root problem of, or help solve the root problem, or trap the root problem of what was going on in Iraq at the time, which is that there are a lot of unemployed, underemployed, especially males, young and otherwise. Brian Schoenborn 24:20 Desperation. Dan Kanivas 24:21 Right, who couldn't feed their families because previously they had a source of patronage that the US took away. The US restored a lot of that patronage, hired the Sons of Iraq and things like that, to pay them essentially to not attack not just us, but also their fellow countrymen and provide some light security duties. And that in conjunction with additional US troop deployment, actually did the trick. And so when I got to Iraq in 2008, I spent the year in 2008-2009, doing training for two different Iraqi Army units. One didn't really need us anymore, the mission was essentially considered more or less accomplished, they were trained. And so we spent about six months down before I was sent up further up north east to a brand new unit in Kirku. Dan Kanivas 25:09 And this is where I most of my experience I remember, most of my experience there, it's more vivid there, where we're trying to help stand up a brand new unit. And try to help them do simple things like get concertina wire to string around their perimeter. Brian Schoenborn 25:25 And what is concertina wire? Dan Kanivas 25:27 So is barbed wire, the military version of barbed wire. Brian Schoenborn 25:31 It's like the spiral? Dan Kanivas 25:32 Yeah, the spiral with with the barbs on it. And it's much more intense than…well, it's what you see above prison, a chainlink fence in prison. Brian Schoenborn 25:42 That's right. Dan Kanivas 25:43 So more intense than you'd see perhaps in a pasture. So getting concertina wire around the perimeter, getting their soldiers to get the proper uniforms, getting their soldiers to learn how to put on the proper uniform, so it's like that. Brian Schoenborn 25:54 Essentially setting them up for success. So they can be self-sustaining. Dan Kanivas 25:58 Right, so basic things like that. I'll say a few things about this, the Iraqi officers that we worked with, who almost by definition, to the last man had served under Saddam. Almost by definition, not everybody, but almost all of them, because in order to be that senior, had the experience, they had to have served under Saddam. They were very professional in general. Some of them, you know, had less experience and they were more political appointees, had less, were perhaps less professional that way. Dan Kanivas 26:27 Most of them were very professional. They generally knew what they were doing under their own system. But like all bureaucracies they never could get all the supplies they needed. They could never get all the ammo they needed, the training they needed. The manpower, the money. Brian Schoenborn 26:41 Basically various extremely important choke points, bottlenecks. Dan Kanivas 26:45 Exactly. So we made due with what what we had. Luckily, again, at the time, the surge, I was a beneficiary of the surge having worked out pretty well. So my time in Iraq, generally, was pretty peaceful. Generally. Brian Schoenborn 27:00 Let me ask you, kind of in general, about the Iraqi people. Dan Kanivas 27:04 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 27:04 Right? So like, I didn't go. I was medically discharged or, you know, whatever you can listen to RELENTLESS and hear that whole story. But I was discharged one week before my unit went to Iraq. Post 911. My unit was the first to go to Iraq, we fought they fought in Fallujah. Dan Kanivas 27:23 Yeah, right. Brian Schoenborn 27:24 It was fucking crazy. Dan Kanivas 27:26 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 27:26 But I never got my I never got the opportunity to I was never there. Dan Kanivas 27:32 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 27:32 Right? Let's put it that way. So I'm just wondering, you know, like you hear on the news all the time about like, the terrorists and like, you knows, which ties in with like anti-muslim sentiment and stuff like that. I'm just curious, like, you know, you spent like, a year and a half over there or something like that? Dan Kanivas 27:49 A year. Yeah. Dan Kanivas 27:50 A year? Okay. Brian Schoenborn 27:50 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 27:51 So you spent a year over there, um, any work with some of these generals and high ranking officers. I imagine you probably interacted with some of the people, like, the everyday civilians as well, a little bit or no? Dan Kanivas 28:03 Not as much, sometimes we did, but not not too too much. My job wasn't that I wasn't on patrols trying to learn about what was going on at the village chief's house or something like that. Brian Schoenborn 28:17 Well, I guess I mean, I'm not necessarily saying that I'm kind of thinking more like, you know, what was your general impression of like the culture and like the people like at their core, even you know, even if they were some of Saddam Hussein's henchmen or whatever you want to call them, right hands. I'm just kind of curious, like, what the, the, the the, the overall feeling? Dan Kanivas 28:39 I suspect that it would be the overall feeling that you would have in a lot of other countries that are foreign to you. Brian Schoenborn 28:49 Sure. Dan Kanivas 28:50 So people will keep to themselves that they don't have any particular business to be dealing with you. I mean, I was rolling around in heavily-armored via with machine guns. Brian Schoenborn 29:01 So you stood out a little bit. Dan Kanivas 29:02 Yeah, right. So, but that's dead. I can't remember single instance where I did interact with people and folks were angry at me or there's a mob yelling at me or something like that, that that never happened. I remember one time we broke down in the middle of a small village, small town that was along the roads that the road that we often traveled through, and we broke down. So we had to perform recovery operations to get our vehicle moving again, we essentially towed one of the back to the base. No one gathered around us and started anything, they just left us alone. Dan Kanivas 29:42 And I think generally that is the attitude that most people would take, because there's not a lot of advantage, I think. to be gained by interacting with heavily-armed people unless you're trying to harm them or otherwise have a mission related to that. People just want to be left in peace, they want to take care of their families. Right? And they want the same things for their families that that we would want for ours. Brian Schoenborn 30:08 You know, it's curious that you mentioned that, you know, with your experience during more time, right? You know, like, I'm always curious about this stuff, because in my travels, you know, like I've been to I traveled through Vietnam, for example. Dan Kanivas 30:23 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 30:23 Three weeks backpacking Vietnam. Dan Kanivas 30:25 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 30:26 I lived in China for over three and a half years. Dan Kanivas 30:28 Right. Brian Schoenborn 30:29 Right? And one of the things that surprised me most about Vietnam was how friendly, how genuine the people were, and and how much they love Americans. Dan Kanivas 30:41 Right. Brian Schoenborn 30:42 Or just people in general. You know? They're a very warm welcome, people. Dan Kanivas 30:46 Right. Brian Schoenborn 30:46 And then like in China, I remember when I first came back home like six months after staying in China. I ran across this lady that I grew up with in church or whatever. And she goes, “Brian, what are you doing?” And I go, “Oh yeah, I'm living in China or whatever.” She goes, “China? China? Brian, what are you doing there? I'm so scared. China's communist, like, are you okay?” Dan Kanivas 31:08 Right. Brian Schoenborn 31:09 And I go, “I fucking love it there. You know like the government's, yes CCP, all that stuff, right, authoritarian, whatever you want to call it. Dan Kanivas 31:17 Right. Brian Schoenborn 31:18 But most people don't really pay attention to it. Dan Kanivas 31:20 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 31:23 Most people in general are very welcoming, you know, they want to share their culture with you. Dan Kanivas 31:30 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 31:30 Right? They wanna share their food. Dan Kanivas 31:32 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 31:32 They want to drink with you. Dan Kanivas 31:33 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 31:34 China's a heavily smoking country. Dan Kanivas 31:35 Oh yeah. Brian Schoenborn 31:36 They want to they want you to try their regional cigarettes. That's why smoke again. It's ridiculous but you know, like this very warm, welcoming people. Dan Kanivas 31:45 Right. Brian Schoenborn 31:46 And essentially what it what it sounds like you're telling me is like you know, place in Iraq, even with all the propaganda that we receive, right? People, pretty much anywhere you go, whether it's an enemy or whether it's a country that we've fought before, or whether it's a people that were fighting at that moment? Dan Kanivas 32:06 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 32:07 You know, people are essentially people. They all want the same stuff. Dan Kanivas 32:10 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 32:10 Right? They have to they want to be able to provide for their family. Dan Kanivas 32:13 Right. Brian Schoenborn 32:14 Right? They want to live in a safe environment. Dan Kanivas 32:17 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 32:19 And they want to, you know, and they want to have a small little group of family and friends, like people can be successful, right, like people want to have some sort of value, right? Dan Kanivas 32:28 Yes, absolutely. 100% I think it's human nature. Brian Schoenborn 32:32 Yeah. Dan Kanivas 32:33 Cultures affect the expression of that. But ultimately, that's human nature, and it's going to be universal. I didn't have the good fortune of interacting as much with the average Iraqi while I was over there, because my mission just didn't take me there. But the Iraqis I did interact with, whether they were military, or they were soldiers that I was serving with, advising, or otherwise helping, or our interpreters who were with us. I generally had a good experience with them. And I have, you know, nothing. I have nothing negative to say about that interaction. Brian Schoenborn 33:16 And I think that's really, um, I think that's poignant. Because when you're fighting in different you know, when you're when you're at war with another side easy for all that stuff to get lost. Dan Kanivas 33:28 Sure, yeah. Brian Schoenborn 33:28 Because what whichever side you're on, you know, they're they're propagating to turn this turn this group of people into an enemy or whatever. Dan Kanivas 33:35 Right. Brian Schoenborn 33:35 And dehumanise them. Dan Kanivas 33:36 Sure, sure. Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 33:37 You know, and, you know, you may you may have disagreements on like fundamental beliefs. Dan Kanivas 33:42 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 33:43 But at the core, we're all the fucking same. Dan Kanivas 33:45 Yeah, and part of my mission was to do the exact opposite, that not dehumanize but understand that we were fighting the same fight on the same side, of most people anyways. And that we had shared interests and shared values they gave us, the military gave us, a fair amount of cultural training before we went. I, I can, not today, but at the time, I tried to conduct as much of my conversations with my counterparts, my Iraqi counterparts in Arabic as possible. I always had an interpreter with me, obviously, I don't speak Arabic. But I tried to pick up phrases here and there. Brian Schoenborn 34:27 Yeah, sure. Dan Kanivas 34:28 That would be helpful. Brian Schoenborn 34:30 And that goes a long way too, right? Dan Kanivas 34:31 Oh, yeah, it goes a long way. It goes a long way. A long way. Brian Schoenborn 34:34 When I was in China, like, I took one lesson. But everything else I picked up. You know, the emergency Chinese, survival Chinese, that sort of thing. But even if I could just say “hello” in Chinese, there like, “Oh, my God, you know, you get us.” Dan Kanivas 34:48 Yeah. Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 34:50 It goes a long way, man. Um, yeah, I think that's I think that's pretty interesting. I think that's pretty interesting. But I do want to move on to some other stuff. Dan Kanivas 34:58 Okay, yes, absolutely. Let's do it. Brian Schoenborn 35:00 We could talk about that and get as deep as we want them off that as long as humanly possible. But I think the biggest point for me on that is, you know, it's pretty interesting shit, and you know, something that you've realized is that people are people are people. Dan Kanivas 35:17 Yep. 100%. Brian Schoenborn 35:19 And I think that needs to be made more known. Dan Kanivas 35:21 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 35:24 When you've got people like our current president threatening to wipe Afghanistan off the face of the map. Dan Kanivas 35:29 I did not catch him say that. But if he did say that, that's very wrong. Brian Schoenborn 35:33 So he was meeting with the leader of Pakistan. I think his name is Mohammad Sharaf or something. Dan Kanivas 35:38 Okay. Brian Schoenborn 35:39 I forget his name, exactly. They were in the White House or Oval Office with the camera opportunity. Like he's been doing where he's got this leader, but he's really just talking about his own stupid agenda. Dan Kanivas 35:50 Of course. Brian Schoenborn 35:50 Right? And he, someone asked him about Afghanistan, and he goes, “Look, I have all sorts of options with Afghanistan. If I want to, I can wipe Afghanistan off the face of the map.” He's like, “I don't want to kill 10 million people. But if I had to, I could do it.” Dan Kanivas 36:09 Awful just, awful. Brian Schoenborn 36:10 And so Afghanistan comes back and they're like, “Fuck you, dude, how could you possibly say that?” Dan Kanivas 36:15 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 36:15 And everybody else do like, seriously. You know, it's called soft power. Dan Kanivas 36:20 Incredibly bad. Incredibly bad. Brian Schoenborn 36:22 Obviously we can do that, but you don't talk about it. Dan Kanivas 36:25 Incredibly bad but that's but it's unfortunately par for the course here. Brian Schoenborn 36:31 I know. It's not fair. Why? Dan Kanivas 36:37 You know, the scary thing too is that there's a lot of writing, articles, etc, from news sources that are typically considered liberal that are saying that Trump will probably win reelection, which is just scary to think about. Brian Schoenborn 36:56 Well, I think right now. Again, without getting too political or topical, but I think right now, the democratic field is so big. Dan Kanivas 37:07 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 37:08 That it's hard for that base. To really consolidate around one person. Dan Kanivas 37:15 Right. I agree. I agree with you. Brian Schoenborn 37:19 So I think as various candidates drop off, you know, that will consolidate itself a little bit more. And, you know, hopefully, hopefully that madman is dethroned. Dan Kanivas 37:34 Oh, I I thoroughly hope so. Brian Schoenborn 37:36 You know? Cuz I think he's setting us back a long way. Dan Kanivas 37:41 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 37:43 But, you know, we'll have to wait to see you know, like, last last cycle, or last presidential cycle. You know, everyone thought that Hillary was gonna kill it. Dan Kanivas 37:51 Yeah, right. I remember where it was that night on election night. 2016. And I remember exactly what it was. was like and what it felt like in the depths of depression that we all went through then. So yeah. Brian Schoenborn 38:05 Yeah. I remember I was sitting in Beijing watching this thing going, “I'm not coming for the next four years, maybe eight.” Dan Kanivas 38:15 Yeah, I contrast that with how I felt, I was in Iraq in November in 2008, and I remember being in the dining facility at the time. We got news that Obama had won. And wow, the feeling of excitement then, was great. Brian Schoenborn 38:34 Yeah. You know, what's weird is like, I actually I was a registered Republican for like, 10 years. I was always like, fiscally conservative, socially liberal kind of guy. Not that any of this matters, but I voted for Romney and McCain. Dan Kanivas 38:51 Sure. Brian Schoenborn 38:51 Right, so I didn't vote for Obama either time, but I've since dropped my affiliation. But I also believe that Barack Obama is probably the best president we've had in our generation. Dan Kanivas 39:06 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 39:07 I think hands down. Dan Kanivas 39:08 I agree with that. Brian Schoenborn 39:09 Yeah, I mean, you know, there's there's positives and negatives that you can say about anybody, but that's kind of how I feel. Dan Kanivas 39:15 Yep. Brian Schoenborn 39:15 Um, so I want to move out, move on, like move out of military stuff a little bit. Because I know you're up to some really cool stuff. Dan Kanivas 39:21 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 39:22 I mean, you've managed to maintain your, your physical endurance activities, that kind of stuff. Dan Kanivas 39:30 Trying to, trying to, yeah. Brian Schoenborn 39:32 I know, you mentioned something about Mount Rainier. Can you tell me like what you're planning to do? And like how this whole thing came about? Dan Kanivas 39:39 Yeah, sure. So last year, one of my friends texts me and says, “Hey, Dan, do you want to climb Mount Rainier?” And I said, “Okay, I'm interested. What What does that entail?” He's like, “Well, we can go with guides and they'll take us through it. It's a four-day program. It would be next August, but you have to decide now. And you have to decide, like right now basically today.” And I said, “Okay, let me go ask my wife.” And so I said, she said, sure, that sounds good. And I said, “Okay, all right, I'm in.” Dan Kanivas 40:18 I had no idea what it entailed. I had zero idea would entail. So my friend who, who, who asked me to do this was my friend from the Army who was in Korea. He just recently got out of the Army. So he's in much better shape than I have than I am. Than I am. I've been out for almost 10 years now. But we've been training. We've been training for trying to summit Mount Rainier next month. So actually, tomorrow, we are headed out to Mount St. Helens, again for the second time this season, to do our last big training hike before Rainier, when we attempt that, and so that is something I'm definitely looking forward to. Come, you know, one way or the other is going to it's all going to culminate here in a few weeks. Dan Kanivas 41:06 I'm looking forward to that. Of course, I hope I'm successful. Of course, I hope the weather cooperates and I have the endurance and the fitness and the ability to, to make the summit and all that stuff. But ultimately, I'm looking for just the general experience. Brian Schoenborn 41:22 Nice. Well, so let me let me clarify for our listeners right now. So we're currently in the city of Seattle. Dan Kanivas 41:30 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 41:30 Right. So Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier. Those are the two of the those are the biggest peaks, right? Dan Kanivas 41:37 Rainier is the tallest one here in the state of Washington. St. Helens. I don't know where it ranks, but it's up there. Brian Schoenborn 41:43 It's up there, right? Dan Kanivas 41:43 It's up there. Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 41:44 So like how, and they're not far, they're like an hour, two, or three something like that. Dan Kanivas 41:48 You can drive north-south througn the state of Washington, you know, comfortably within hours, not two hours, but they're all within driving distance of Seattle, yes. Brian Schoenborn 42:01 Okay yeah um so so they're close by but they're like huge. Dan Kanivas 42:05 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 42:05 You can see them on the horizon and see at least Rainier. Do you have an idea like how like how tall these are like their peaks or whatever? Dan Kanivas 42:16 Yeah I don't know St. Helens off the top of my head. Brian Schoenborn 42:19 Is it like a 10er, 10,000 foot-ish? Dan Kanivas 42:21 I want to say it's like eight or nine something like that, but Rainier is over 14,000. Brian Schoenborn 42:26 Yeah. Dan Kanivas 42:26 Yeah, so it's it's definitely tall. It's some serious altitude. When you do it, I've been told that, I haven't done it yet that you do feel the effects of altitude sickness. Yeah, so it's, it's definitely going to be a challenge. Brian Schoenborn 42:44 So Mt. St. Helens is a pretty good prepper. Dan Kanivas 42:46 Yeah, I think it's it's definitely on the training plan for a lot of folks and Mount St. Helens. Because it is popular for people to hike and climb, you have to get permits during the season in order to be able to hike it. So, I'm going with some other friends of, same group of people who I'm training for Mount Rainier plus, we're adding on a few more to do Mount St. Helens again in two days. Brian Schoenborn 43:10 Oh cool. Two days? Dan Kanivas 43:12 Yeah so Saturday is what we do is we will take off tomorrow afternoon from Seattle head down their, bed down for a little bit, and then start alpine start two am, something like that, so that we can start start headed up to the top of St. Helens while still while it's still dark out. Still cool out. And then if we're lucky, depending on conditions we might get to glacade down St. Helens. Brian Schoenborn 43:38 What is that? Dan Kanivas 43:38 So yes, this is the funnest part of and the payoff for climbing. So you get to the top and there's snow. And what people have done rather than walk back down is you ride the snow back down. Brian Schoenborn 43:54 Dude that sounds so awesome! Dan Kanivas 43:56 Yeah. So so that that I'm excited for Hopefully that will happen. That's what we did last time, but we also went May when I suspect there was a lot more snow. This time, there should still be plenty of snow to glacade down, but I don't actually know. Brian Schoenborn 44:11 How are you? How are you sliding down on this? Like snowboards, toboggans, just like the little $5 plastic sleds, like the saucer slows? What do you, uh, what's going on there? Dan Kanivas 44:20 All of the above. Some people bring their snowboards, some people bring their skis. You can just do it in hardshell pants. You can even take, and this is what I did last time, you take a trash bag and just ride down on a trash bag. Brian Schoenborn 44:32 Dude, that's sweet. Dan Kanivas 44:33 It works. And it's sure as hell beats walking down. Brian Schoenborn 44:39 I bet. Dan Kanivas 44:40 You don't want to walk anymore after you reach the top. So yeah, glacading down is is pretty fantastic. Brian Schoenborn 44:46 But that reminds me of, I'm doing these Nicaragua stories right now. That reminds me this time I summitted a, it was a short volcano. Dan Kanivas 44:55 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 44:56 Right. But it waas an active volcano. Dan Kanivas 44:58 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 44:58 One of the world's youngest volcanoes. Dan Kanivas 45:00 Okay, yeah. So it's millions and millions of year old, but it's one of the world's youngest. Brian Schoenborn 45:05 No, no, it's only like 150. Dan Kanivas 45:06 Oh really? Brian Schoenborn 45:07 Yeah. Dan Kanivas 45:07 Oh wow. Brian Schoenborn 45:08 Okay, it actually sprung up out of the cornfield in like the 1800s. Dan Kanivas 45:11 Oh, it's a 150 years old? Not a 150,000? 150 years old? Brian Schoenborn 45:18 Yeah, and apparently it blows up, it blows like every 15 years or something like that. Dan Kanivas 45:21 Oh okay. Brian Schoenborn 45:22 And when I was there it was around 15 years I don't know if it's it didn't blow up when I was there but it was definitely active. Dan Kanivas 45:28 Sure, sure, sure, yes. You see gasses and… Brian Schoenborn 45:30 At the summite could see a little, in the crater. And you could see gasses coming up out of the ground. Dan Kanivas 45:35 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 45:36 So we went to the top of it. Brian Schoenborn 45:38 Yeah. And we had a fast way down too. Yeah, we we with with the tour group. They gave us this backpack. And you can choose between a snowboard-looking thing. And like a mini toboggan-looking Dan Kanivas 45:51 Yeah, nice. Brian Schoenborn 45:52 And we volcano surfed. Dan Kanivas 45:55 Yeah, that's fantastic. Yeah. I like the outdoors a lot. I generally don't say no when people want to do outdoorsy things but I almost never wake up and say to myself, “I really need to get outdoors today.” Brian Schoenborn 46:10 Yeah. Dan Kanivas 46:11 I for better for worse live in my head a lot. I love to read. I love strategy games, things like that. Right? So I don't feel compelled to go and get outdoors. However, I'm almost never, I almost never regret it. Because there's so much fun to be had outdoors, including volcano surfing. That's awesome. Brian Schoenborn 46:32 You know, like, like, well glacading or volcano surfing. I mean, what else can you do that is there's only so many volcanoes. It's not like they're everywhere. I mean, they're they're all over the world. Yeah, but they're only in very specific locations. Dan Kanivas 46:46 Yeah, they're very, they're very cool experiences. A lot of people I've talked to about, you know, our pending Mt. Rainier adventure here are very curious about it because they do realize that, okay, yeah, there's not a lot of other ways to kind of express this sort of desire to experience nature and experience your own backyard, your own environments in a very in a unique and very singular sort of way. And so you just got to go out there and do it right and you have which is fantastic. Brian Schoenborn 47:25 I'll never forget that. That sounds fucking awesome. I'm super looking forward to hearing about all of it. Dan Kanivas 47:31 Yeah, fingers crossed it all goes well, so yeah. Brian Schoenborn 47:33 I got a pretty good feeling about it. You mentioned something about strategy stuff? You do strategy games? That kind of caught my attention. Dan Kanivas 47:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brian Schoenborn 47:44 Can you dive into that? What do you what kind of games you into like? Like for me, me and my brothers and my dad. We have a tradition every time we go home for the holidays, we play Risk. And we get super into it. Dan Kanivas 47:56 Yeah, sure. Brian Schoenborn 47:57 Like we used to like pretty much be out for blood for each other. Dan Kanivas 48:00 Oh, sure. Yeah, sure. Brian Schoenborn 48:01 Um, I think there might have been some fistfights. At one point where my mom was like she took it away, and she banned us from playing Risk for like 5 years. But I'm just curious, like, what can I hear the strategy stuff? What are the strategy games and other, you know, tell me like what kind of stuff to do. Dan Kanivas 48:17 So, growing up, definitely my favorite type of video game, for example, was role playing games. So RPGs, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, that sort of thing. And if I had more time now I still play them because there's no shortage. There's no shortage of fantastic stories that are told through these through these media, right? Through those mediums, right. And they get you so invested and they know how to get you invested. These game designers know how to get invested. In college I played a lot of poker for various reasons: socially, also to try to attempt to win money mainly to lose it, but that things like that was a large part of my college experience. Dan Kanivas 49:04 And also as a kid, 12 years old, 11 years old that that sort of timeframe. It was around 94, 95, 96. So Magic the Gathering has just come out. Brian Schoenborn 49:16 Magic the Gathering? Dan Kanivas 49:17 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 49:18 You know, I've heard of that game. I think I'm a little bit older than you. I was, you know, I was active duty in the Marines in 2000, 2002. So I'm fucking old. Dan Kanivas 49:26 I was born in 1983. Brian Schoenborn 49:27 Oh I'm two years, about two years then. I remember, I think it was early in high school, you said seventh or eighth grade? Dan Kanivas 49:36 Yes. Brian Schoenborn 49:36 So that would put me in high school. Right? So I remember hearing about magic together. But I was kind of at that point where it was, I don't know, I just, I wasn't. I wasn't there at that point. Dan Kanivas 49:46 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Brian Schoenborn 49:46 You know, yeah, it was a different spot. Dan Kanivas 49:48 Oh, yeah. Brian Schoenborn 49:48 But my younger brother. He was born in 83. Dan Kanivas 49:50 Oh, yeah. Brian Schoenborn 49:52 Huge into Magic the Gathering. Shout out to Dave. Dan Kanivas 50:00 Being born at a certain time or being a certain age, in that timeframe, made all the difference. If I was actually a if I were actually a year older or two years older, it may have worked out that, you know, I may missed it just like you. Or I could have gotten in on even a little sooner. And had I done that then some of those cards from those era, from that era, which I missed by just about a year are invaluable now. Brian Schoenborn 50:31 Really? Dan Kanivas 50:32 They're quite, they're quite expensive. Yeah. Because it becomes collector's, collector's items. Brian Schoenborn 50:36 They're what, like baseball cards or something? Dan Kanivas 50:37 Yeah, that that idea that they're not being made anymore. So anyways, so I played for a little bit back in those days, as a middle schooler, and, you know, as the nerdy kid who was looking for something that was popular to do the time, well, mainly with other boys. This was, you know, spoke to me strategy games and the the fantasy portion of it, you know, dragons and, and demons and angels and stuff like that. That's pretty cool. Like, that was that kept us interested, but life moved in other directions. I got involved in sports, became more active socially, especially with the fairer sex. Brian Schoenborn 50:39 Sure, of course. Dan Kanivas 50:40 And so, you know, Magic disappeared from my life. Brian Schoenborn 51:22 And that's where I was at but just out of curiosity, do you recall like playing the game? Like, can you can you, cause, I don't know anything about it. Like, can you kind of give me like a high level, like the highest level overview like how it works? Dan Kanivas 51:40 Yes, sure. So it's a card game, that you take a set of cards and you build decks with them. And the idea is that you and your opponent is typically played one on one. Typically. You and our opponent are both powerful wizards, and you cast spells to try to defeat each other. The game was actually created by a grad student, I believe UPenn, a mathematics grad student at UPenn who had a lifelong fascination and love for games. And though, his name is Richard Garfield, though he's brilliant, this is going to be his legacy on Earth. Brian Schoenborn 52:24 Yeah. Dan Kanivas 52:24 So not mathematics or anything else. Most likely it's going to be this game, which is going to be very, very popular. Brian Schoenborn 52:30 It's pretty impressive legacy. Dan Kanivas 52:31 Yeah, absolutely. And he's still active in making games and things like that. But anyways, so that's the basic gist. You can use these cards, cast spells to try and defeat each other. And you know the game, though I left the game a long time ago, it grew and grew and grew and grew. And in 2018, last year, one of my friends who I worked with right out of business school, turned out that he has some cards. I talked to him about He's like, “Hey, Dan, did you know there's an online platform for this now that it's pretty nifty?” Brian Schoenborn 53:05 No way. Dan Kanivas 53:06 Yeah. And, you know… Brian Schoenborn 53:09 So like 15 years. Dan Kanivas 53:10 Yeah. 20 years. Brian Schoenborn 53:11 20 years? Dan Kanivas 53:12 Yeah 20 years. Had I not had that conversation? I don't think I would have rediscovered it but now it's 100% my guilty pleasure to play Magic the Gathering Arena Online. And it takes away a lot of the issues of having to play with paper cards, not that I don't like to play with them, I do. But it's one of these things where you don't have to do it in a room full of other people. You can do it from your bed, or from your desk, or on a train, right? Just on your laptop. Dan Kanivas 53:44 And what I thought I liked before about the game, the you know, the again, the fantastical aspects of it, right, the the dragons and stuff, actually turned out not to be the exciting part of the game for me. What I thought the game is how deep strategically it goes. It combines the the deep strategy of a game like Risk or Chess or Settlers of Catan, things like that, right? Where each choice you make really matters. It combines that with randomness. Again, that's, that's involved in Risk or Poker, right, where the top card of your deck that you don't know what it is, will change the outcome of the game. Dan Kanivas 54:32 And so the combination of those two things, the skill and the luck, the roll of the dice in Risk keeps people coming back for more, because it makes every game you play different. Which is really really cool. And it goes very, very deep. So I'm, I am a newly, newly reintegrated player. Brian Schoenborn 54:55 That's interesting you know, I've heard I've heard some people have been kind of resurging with like Dungeons and Dragons and stuff like that too. I dabbled with it, but I was never really like that into again that was my brother's sort of thing. Dan Kanivas 55:06 Yeah. Brian Schoenborn 55:08 But I've heard that a lot of people like kind of our age, have been getting back into these things. So it must be, must be interesting to play against these people with that new perspective and that level of knowledge and experience that you've gained. The thought process and all that. Got to be pretty cool, bet you can get some, like, if you were to play if you had some buddies that like are in the area, and they have like a deck of cards it would probably be pretty cool to have like a dude night a dude Magic the Gathering — a person, a friend night I guess — I don't want to be gender bias or whatever. Dan Kanivas 55:42 For for better, for worse, and this is actually a big topic of discussion within the community. Not just Magic, but gaming generally. Right? And gaming is gigantic, it's exploded. And my wife works for a gaming company, like it's everywhere. Brian Schoenborn 55:55 Oh cool. Yeah. Dan Kanivas 55:56 And so yeah, gaming is, unfortunately, very biased towards males. And as a result, oftentimes, there are people in the community slash the companies and the, you know, the policies that inadvertently get set up, I don't think it's intentional, at least from a company standpoint, are exclusive unfortunately, right? And they're not not always integrative and not always inclusive. Brian Schoenborn 56:27 Right. Dan Kanivas 56:27 And so there's actually to Magic's credit, they really do try to be inclusive, you see it in the artwork, you see it in their messaging, you see it in how they treat people who are not inclusive. Which is great. Brian Schoenborn 56:44 I think that's fantastic, you know, because like I tripped up and said, “Oh, dude, you know, it's a dude thing”, but it's finally not, and it shouldn't be you know? It's games you're having fun, it's strategy. Like, you're using you're using your mind, you have little bit of a social environment. Like that's not. Dan Kanivas 56:59 Yeah, I don't I don't picked up at all, I think this is a real issue. And it's something that the community has to figure out. If you if you go have a boardgame night with friends, which like you said, it's kind of you're seeing a resurgence of people around our age doing this. I think there's several reasons for it. One, it's if people have families, it's a pretty low-key way to get together and… Brian Schoenborn 57:22 You're not going crazy. Dan Kanivas 57:23 Exactly. Brian Schoenborn 57:24 You're not getting super wasted playing Magic the Gathering, maybe a casual beer. Dan Kanivas 57:27 We're not going to Coachella because we have kids. Right? Brian Schoenborn 57:29 Exactly. Dan Kanivas 57:30 Exactly. Right. So you know that that's a great way to get together and like I just played actually last weekend. Settlers of Catan with I have friends around here. While we're out in Walla Walla, you know, on a wine country trip. It was great. It was one of the highlights of the trip. It's always fun playing with them. And so, you know, it's a very enjoyable, easy to get into, and social thing to do. I think this is
