Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS, Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT and Karen are also joined by Christine Moyer from the podcast Unsteady and Unfiltered. First, prepare the "shrub"Woody Pear Shrub -1 ⅓ cup Pear Juice* -⅔ cup Cane Sugar -1 cup White Distilled Vinegar -2 large sprigs of Rosemary -4 bunches of Thyme -3 Bay Leaves Measure and add all ingredients into a pot on your stove. Cover and turn heat to high. Bring liquid to a boil. Turn down the heat, take off the lid and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and let cool to room temperature. Pour the contents of the pot into a sealable container and store in the fridge for several hours or overnight. In the morning, strain steeped herbs out of the liquid using a wire mesh strainer or a nut milk bag. Store finished shrub in a sealable container in the fridge until use for up to a month. *Be mindful of the ingredient label when selecting a pear juice. You'll want to find one that uses ascorbic acid (powdered Vitamin C) as the color protectant instead of lemon juice. Knudsen Juice is a widely available brand that is safe, although I'm sure there are many that are also okay.Pear Cocktail-1 ¼ oz 40% Clear Spirit (vodka, gin, blanco tequila, etc.) -2 oz Woody Pear Shrub -Soda Water -Ice *Measure ingredients into a Collins glass over ice. Using a spoon, gently stir to incorporate all ingredients. Garnish with additional herbs (rosemary, thyme & bay). About KarenIn March of 2019, after 18 months of searching for answersto the seemingly mysterious symptoms Karen had been experiencing, she was diagnosed with Chronic Vestibular Migraine. Post diagnosis, she learned about the ⁠Johns Hopkins Migraine Diet⁠ through Dr. David Buchholz's book, ⁠“Heal Your Headache”⁠, and started to undergo the tedious elimination process to figure out her personal migraine triggers. In May of 2020, during the Covid pandemic quarantine, Karen launched a blog focused on migraine-friendly cocktails for the at-home bartender, Tartt Drinks. This creative outlet, along with an online audience of fellow migraineurs, provided a space for her to explore the cocktails, flavorsand spirits that were missing from the lives of those affected by migraine. Her migraine-friendly cocktails have since been featured in the Bombay Sapphire Artist Showcase, ⁠Speed Rack⁠ Trading Cards, ⁠Dizzy Cook⁠'s first book release party, ⁠Miles for Migraine⁠ ⁠Social Events⁠ and an upcoming cocktail book. She currently resides in San Francisco, CA and works at ⁠Wildhawk⁠ in the Mission District. She's currently researching gas chromatography analysis in spirits to more clearly define what makes a spirit migraine-friendly. She's also studying different ways to create more complete citrus alternatives.Karen can be reached for consultations and inquiries at ⁠clearspiritandmind@gmail.com⁠.Hosted by:

David Blumenfeld is the co-founder of Next Rivet, a proptech advisory firm that helps real estate businesses leverage digital technology to solve real business challenges. With experience leading business development at Westfield Labs—the innovation arm of Westfield Shopping Centers—David has a deep understanding of how to bridge the gap between traditional real estate operations and emerging technologies. At Next Rivet, he focuses on building tailored technology roadmaps and overseeing successful implementation, ensuring that technology delivers measurable impact, not just flashy concepts.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Proptech is not about chasing buzzwords—it's about identifying business problems first and applying the right tools to solve them. The biggest failure in tech implementation comes from unclear business requirements, not from the technology itself. AI is not a stand-alone solution but an ingredient that enhances existing tools and processes. Operational efficiencies, lease management, and tenant experience are key focus areas where technology can provide immediate ROI. Success comes from doing the upfront work: define your goals clearly, then explore solutions.     Topics What Is Proptech and Why It Matters Proptech (property technology) spans digital leasing tools, building management systems, smart locks, energy efficiency tech, tenant experience platforms, and more. The slow adoption rate in real estate offers an opportunity for forward-thinking operators to gain an edge. Focus should always be on solving operational challenges—not on adopting tech for tech's sake. Avoiding the “Deck on the Desk” Problem Many consulting firms hand over a giant report without real action steps. Next Rivet helps clients move from strategy to implementation, working directly with vendors and ensuring real results. Their approach is tech-agnostic—choosing the right tools for the job, not locking clients into a specific vendor. Where Most Owners Should Start with Tech Focus on basic operational systems: lease digitization, renewal tracking, building management systems. Use AI as a layer within these systems to streamline lease abstraction, document review, and operations. Prioritize energy efficiency tools that can produce real cost savings (e.g., HVAC optimization, smart metering). Technology Across Asset Classes Retail: Enhance shopper experience through frictionless parking, special tenant offers, and real-time inventory insights. Office: Provide infrastructure that allows tenants to customize their tech stack while the building remains future-proof. Multifamily: Combine leasing, operations, and tenant engagement into seamless digital experiences. How to Vet and Choose Tech Solutions Wisely Clearly define business needs before engaging vendors. Develop tight business and technical requirements—just like architectural plans for a building. Avoid jumping into tools just because they're AI-powered or new; focus on real benefits and usability.

The Roxie is more than a theater.

San Francisco's sanctuary policies have been contested repeatedly since they were first enacted in the 1980s following an immigration raid at a Mission District dance club that left dozens of people detained for hours — some U.S. citizens. So what can the history of challenges against the city's sanctuary policies tell us about President Donald Trump's threats to it today? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

San Francisco's Elixir dates its history back to 1858, when it opened in the city's Mission District along a plank road at the corner of what is now 16th and Guerrero.

Cracking the “Neural Code”: How AI Will Surpass Human Intelligence AI analyst Eitan Michael Azoff asserts that decoding the 'neural code' is key to building AI that surpasses human intelligence. His book, "Towards Human-Level Artificial Intelligence," suggests that emulating consciousness and visual thinking will be crucial steps in AI development.

How can art bring people together in a world divided by race and culture? In this episode of "Everyday Conversations on Race," we explore how creativity can break down walls and build genuine relationships across cultures. Meet two artists who use their craft to challenge boundaries and connect communities. Carlos “Kookie” Gonzalez, a Chicano artist and former gang member, shares his journey from the streets of San Francisco to becoming a renowned muralist. Carlos reveals how he turned his life around through art and now brings people together through community murals that tell the stories of struggle, pride, and resilience. Discover how he engages young people to see art as a path to a better future, rather than a life on the streets. Click here to DONATE and support our podcast Laurie Marshall, an artist and educator, joins Carlos to discuss her "Singing Tree" project, which has united over 24,000 people from 52 countries in creating murals that envision a world of peace and understanding. Laurie describes how this collaborative process invites people to create something bigger than themselves and reimagine what's possible when diverse voices come together. Together, Carlos and Laurie explain how art can do more than just decorate walls—it can change minds, shift perspectives, and unite people who might never have met otherwise. They share actionable ideas on how anyone, regardless of background or skill level, can use art to spark conversations, dismantle stereotypes, and create new stories that connect us all.

Four years ago, we had Thomas McNaughton on the show, talking about his new concept, Flour + Water Pizzeria in the Mission District in San Francisco. Since the pandemic, he and his co-Chef/Culinary Director, Ryan Pollnow, moved and expanded the operation, tweaking the recipe, and deciding to set up a commissary in the new store that will ultimately support additional stores. Meanwhile, they operate a sit-down pizzeria in front and a slice shop in the back. That's where I met Pollnow, to talk about the evolution of their pizzeria, and how they nailed one of the best gluten free slices I've ever had. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support

1. Where are you from? How was your upbringing?My family escaped the Khmer Rouge regime and found a safe spot where I was born, in a refugee camp in Thailand, and then we moved to America in 1989 when I was still a baby.My upbringing started rough. My parents raised my sister and I in the Tenderloin. It's compared to Skid Row and it doesn't have the greatest reputation, but it raised me to become a wiser than normal person. Since Asian gang violence was big in the 90's, I went outside the Tenderloin and found myself making friends with everyone else, staying away from Asian gangs.If it wasn't for music, I think I would be gang banging, selling drugs, or doing god knows what. It doesn't mean I wasn't mixed in the dirt but it wasn't easy growing up there. My parents are still there, waiting for me to get them out one day. I will.What really saved my life growing up was music, sports, and being forced to volunteer at church. My sister and I grew up listening to Tupac, Timbaland, Naughty By Nature, The Fugees, Boyz II Men, Lauryn Hill, and so many more Hip-Hop and R&B artists that helped with us cope with the outside world. I looked for artists that I was able to connect with. 2. How did you begin making music?I tried making music several times growing up since my church had a band but it never really came to fruition. When I was 14, my friend, DJ Frisko Eddy and I started a DJ group called “The Untouchablez” with 2 other people at Horizon Youth Center in the Mission District. That's when I learned how to scratch and mix, but I stopped because I needed to get a “real job.” Things were always getting in the way, but I found creative ways to keep myself in the music scene like promoting for clubs, connecting talent, and managing local artists.I never really started making music until just recently last year, when my long-term girlfriend and I broke up. It was the worst breakup that I ever had because of what I gave up to be in that relationship. But…it brought me back to music. Maybe, music is my first love but I never paid that much attention to it before. It's like a memory that I'm feeling again, a familiar nostalgic feeling of love. 3. How did you get your rap name?I don't think it's a rap name. I chose Crossed The Golden Gate because my family flew over and crossed the Golden Gate Bridge when we immigrated to America. I don't think I rap like that. 4. How would you describe your musical style?I don't know yet. All I know is that I wrote poetry and spoken word my entire life, and it comes out like that in my songs.5. Tell me about “Own Nothing”.My parents and I had never owned anything in our lives. I watched my parents help other families get what they wanted by helping them with their bills and mortgage, but I had never seen my parents help themselves.I'm sitting on major debt and student loans right now and it's only because I never had support. My parents couldn't support me and my sister had to help me out a bit, but she was also struggling. My parents sacrificed so much for us and their relatives that it became normal for them. So, it's a deeper meaning to “Own Nothing” than people think. Owning anything on Earth is not appealing for me anymore since we really never owned anything. I die without it anyway, so why even care? 6. What inspired you to create Own Nothing?The struggle of my parents and my upbringing that I couldn't tell anyone about. 7. How is it different than previous drops?My first drop was a fun dance song, so this is really my first project that I dropped. 8. Is it part of a project? If so, can you tell me more about that?I am the project. 9. What message do you want fans to walk away with after listening to “Own Nothing”?Be a friend.I want people to know that people aren't what they seem and everyone is struggling. You just don't know what they are struggling with. Stay curious but don't judge a human just because you had issues with your projections. Just ask them how they're doing. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yourbestlifestyles/support

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   One of the great things about being a college journalism major today is that it's incredibly easy for professors to build their own news sites and allow students to experience every aspect of the publishing process. Not that long ago, journalism students had few avenues for publication outside their college newspaper.   Lydia Chavez took advantage of this dynamic while teaching at UC Berkeley. In 2008, she and her colleagues launched Mission Local, a local news blog that covered San Francisco's Mission District. It quickly gained traction within the community, and in 2014 Lydia spun it out into its own independent news organization. Today, it's fully sustained by a mix of large and small donors.   In our interview, Lydia walked me through how she incorporated the site into her journalism curriculum, why she spun it out from the university, and whether she thinks Mission Local's model can be replicated across the US.  

If you're looking for a summer read, look no further!  Real Americans by Rachel Khong is like getting 3 books in one, it spans over 50 years and several countries from the perspective of 3 generations of a Chinese family. It asks the question, who and what determines who you are and what life you get to live? Rachel was a complete joy to speak with, she's currently based in LA but spent many years here in San Francisco editing the iconic food magazine Lucky Peach 2011-2016). She also founded a workspace for female and non-binary writers in the Mission District, called The Ruby.  Real Americans is her 2nd book following Goodbye Vitamin (which we also recommend).

We are sitting in an East End art studio talking about death. The London tube rolls by outside, surfacing momentarily from tunnels dark as Hades, trundling its occupants inexorably on to somewhere. You can hear at intervals its soothing, almost womb-like background rumble and hush as a reminder of sorts - fitting sound as backdrop to this conversation with Buddhist artist Hugh Mendes, whose celebrated series ‘Obituaries' we are exploring in a new online ‘Story' space: ‘The Impermanence of Everyone'. Explore the work of Hugh Mendes and watch the accompanying film about the Buddhist aspects of his work Far from being grim or at all didactic, these canvases light us up when we see them: whether with recognition of a famous face; startled apprehension that this is the artist's dead father not long after the moment of death; or fascination at the mysterious techniques of oil painting and how on earth it survives and thrives as a medium in the contemporary art world. Mendes - ordained Buddhist name, Paramabodhi (“Supreme Enlightenment“) - loves painting, loves meditating, and loves teaching both. His practice - as artist and Buddhist - is fused in the ongoing contemplation of impermanence as a core aspect of whatever it is we mean when we say “reality”.  Equally at ease immersing himself in the Satipatthana Sutta, with its exercises contemplating the decomposition of our own body as a corpse, or becoming deeply absorbed in the physical act of painting for hours on end every day, Mendes is usually in touch with something both intimate and detailed, vast and universal. We hear about his time teaching art in in San Francisco, where he also co-founded the San Francisco Buddhist Center in the city's Mission District. His years of training and counter-cultural experiment at Chelsea Art school in the 1970s, where he booked the Sex Pistols for one of their first ever gigs. And his return to London following the death of his father to focus on art practice and, latterly, public Buddhist teaching at the London Buddhist Centre.  We also discuss the challenges for both Buddhism and art of reaching a more diverse group of people - finding ways to cross class, racial, gender and financial boundaries. One of Mendes' great heroes in this is the Indian Buddhist leader and author of the Indian Constitution, Dr. Bimrao Ambedkar. It's fascinating to watch the artist very much at home in his studio, surrounded by inspirational figures mythic and human, all looking back at him as he tries to capture both their own versions of themselves and our culture's gaze as they exit life and are being memorialized. We get to dwell with Mendes as he continues his decades-long meditation on the elusive nature of selfhood and identity that slips in and out of light and shadow yet may - sometimes - be beautifully and usefully reflected in the eye of the beholder.

Tim Otto is a man of intentional commitments: he lives in intentional Christian community; he pastors a church in San Francisco; he's also gay and celibate, while still affirming gay marriage (Side A). Tim talked with co-hosts TJ and David Frank about his book Oriented to Faith, compassionate approaches, “third way” communities and “disputable” theological differences, celibate partnerships, and the importance of close community living.Tim was a kind and engaging dialogue partner and we loved having this conversation with him! No matter where you land on the faith and sexuality topics, we hope our discussion ministers to you also.About Our GuestTim Otto has lived in an intentional Christian community called Church of the Sojourners for 34 years and is one of its co-pastors. He has a Master of Theology degree from Duke Divinity School, is the author of Oriented to Faith: Transforming the Conflict over Gay Relationships, and loves walking around the Mission District of San Francisco, where he lives. You can find his recent writing on Substack at “Living in Extraordinary Love”: https://timotto.substack.com—Note: We use the terms “Side A” and “Side B” as shorthand quite a bit. If you're new to the conversation, we recommend listening to our episode #3, “A-B-Y-X | 4 Sides on SSA/Gay Sexuality.” Here's a quick summary:* "Side A" generally refers to the perspective that affirms God can bless same-sex marriage and sexual relationships.* “Side B” recognizes people experience same-sex sexual attraction and may describe that experience by a variety of words or identity terms while still holding to the historical Christian sexual ethic of marriage between a man and a woman, and sex within marriage.Timestamps(1:13) Tim's book: encouraging dialogue and love across sides(8:03) Idolatry of the "traditional family"(16:11) Taking a vow of celibacy as a side A gay man(21:38) Our takes: on the authority and continuity of Scripture(34:27) What traditionalist viewpoints do you find most compelling?(38:54) What has moved you toward an affirming position?(42:55) Are celibate partnerships gnostic?(52:56) What makes a healthy/acceptable marriage?

How does a string quartet help build community from Chinese immigrant poetry carved into detention-center walls on Angel Island? Let their words sing out after 100 years of silence. Season 1 of Sounds Current with the Del Sol Quartet follows the quest to shine light on San Francisco's Angel Island, a site of detention and dehumanization for Chinese immigrants in the 1900s. We travel with the creatives behind The Angel Island Project, including composer Huang Ruo, poet Genny Lim, educator Andi Wong and more. Sounds Current: Angel Island explores how we make compassionate art that builds community. *** San Francisco's Del Sol Quartet believes that music can, and should, happen anywhere - screaming out Aeryn Santillan's “Makeshift Memorials” from a Mission District sidewalk or a rural high school, bouncing Ben Johnston's microtonal “Americana” off the canyon walls of the Yampa River or the hallowed walls of Library of Congress, bringing Huang Ruo's “Angel Island Oratorio” home to the island detention barracks or across the Pacific to the Singapore International Arts Festival.  Since 1992, Del Sol has commissioned or premiered hundreds of works from diverse composers. Their performances provide the possibility for unexpected discovery, sparking dialogue and bringing people together.

Jorge Torres (CEO, co-founder, MindsDB) and Vijay Reddy (AI Start investor, Mayfield) were the first two people I interviewed for Fund/Build/Scale.    We met up at Jorge's office in San Francisco's Mission District on a rainy Friday afternoon in November 2023. We spent time discussing the ins and outs of pitch tactics and investor outreach, but we also talked about the criteria VCs use to evaluate zero-day investments, which red flags investors and founders both need to look out for, and how to find a VC to partner with for the next decade (not just the next funding round).    Jorge has been through the fundraising process three times and Vijay is an experienced seed investor, so I was glad to talk to them both about fundraising from both sides of the table.   Here's a breakdown of our conversation: How Jorge and Vijay assess team quality (2:28) Vijay: "We don't do spray-and-pray." (4:06) Founders need to de-risk themselves before pitching (5:21) Jorge's three key questions for early-stage teams (7:14) Why you don't need a demo, customers or revenue to pitch (9:59) Founder red flags that turn off investors (14:12) How to recognize seed-stage investors who actually add value (15:55) When it comes to accepting early funds, be strategic (18:43) Don't focus on TAM, just find clear pain points in large markets (22:03) "If you're close to something that makes sense... don't wait too long to show it to an investor." (23:41) How early-stage AI startups can avoid extinction-level events (25:44) You can't build a strategic moat without real-world data (27:55) Technical founders should team up with nontechnical co-founders (29:56) Closing a seed round: how long should it take?

Aries Season 2024 (Part 1) ~ The Deep Work

Lala & Peelo G. are on location at Mother Bar located in the historic Mission District of San Francisco. Journey with Malia Spanyol, the owner of Mother Bar as she recounts her passion for creating the space, the historic significance of femme centered dyke bars and what it means to "protect our space."

In September of 2019, Luis Alberto Quiñonez—known as Sito— was shot to death as he sat in his car in the Mission District of San Francisco. He was nineteen. His killer, Julius Williams, was seventeen. It was the second time the teens had encountered one another. The first, five years before, also ended in tragedy, when Julius watched as his brother was stabbed to death by an acquaintance of Sito's. The two murders merited a few local news stories, and then the rest of the world moved on. But for the families of the slain teenagers, it was impossible to move on. And for Laurence Ralph, the stepfather of Sito's half-brother who had dedicated much of his academic career to studying gang-affiliated youth, Sito's murder forced him to revisit a subject of scholarly inquiry in a profoundly different, deeply personal way. Written from Ralph's perspective as both a person enmeshed in Sito's family and as an Ivy League professor and expert on the entanglement of class and violence, SITO: An American Teenager and the City that Failed Him (Grand Central Publishing, 2024) is an intimate story with an message about the lived experience of urban danger, and about anger, fear, grief, vengeance, and ultimately grace. Laurence Ralph is a Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University, where he is the Director for the Center on Transnational Policing. Before that, he was a tenured professor at Harvard University for eight years. He is the author of Renegade Dreams: Living Through Injury in Gangland Chicago (2014) and The Torture Letters: Reckoning With Police Violence (2020), both published by University of Chicago Press. He is currently a Guggenheim Fellow, a fellow of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton; he has also been the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim National Science Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, and the Ford Foundation. He lives in Princeton, New Jersey with his wife and daughter. Reighan Gillam is an Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation.

This week we continue delving into community-rooted disaster relief in California, from wildfires to the pandemic. From building mutual aid networks, to translating emergency messages in common local languages, we see in action the incredible difference language justice can make in our communities.   In Sonoma County, organizers hit the field with information on where to get food, shelter, and support.   In San Francisco, they set up a much needed support response to COVID-19 in the city's Mission District.   Tune in and hear how these leaders act collectively to confront those in power, work for justice, and together answer one vital question: how can next time be different?
