Chris Perkins has a fascinating background as a marine who was shot at in Iraq, was at Lehman bros when it all came crashing down, was a Citigroup trying to pick up the piece of the financial crisis where he first ran across Gary Gensler, and now he's in crypto. We talk about all that, but that's not even the main event. The Main Event is Ether the asset and a new reference rate he's building on top of it. This sounds in the weeds but it's actually actually key to unlocking trillions in new financial products. You might call this new rate the Libor for ETH.  ------

So, the thrill of your new job is wearing off and you're feeling unmotivated at work. That might show up as procrastinating on that project you were assigned, skipping meetings, or maybe even daydreaming about quitting. What can you do about it?

She does that at the executive level, but she also understands a lot about why motivation can come and go throughout your career, including at the very beginning.

Cascadia Sasquatch is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, coated with fur.If you streamed Cascadia's Mount St. Helens episode, then you know I held back the accounts of sasquatch in the area that go back centuries! Battles between two ape men led to the naming of Ape Canyon and Ape Caves. There's a slew of modern day sightings, too, including at nearby Spirit Lake. It nearly killed me to withhold those accounts, but I didn't want to short change the subject. Sasquatch deserves his own full episode.With me to explore this mystery is Derek Condit. He's the owner of my absolute favorite store, Mystical Wares in Mount Vernon, Washington (online, too!) He's also a teacher, an inventor, a healer, a podcaster, and soon to be author.

This episode is dedicated to Grammie Donna, who would have turned 93 years old today. I think she'd like this episode and the description of Mount St. Helens as a topless goddess. I miss and love you, Donna.To say I know Mount St. Helens intimately is an understatement. I've breathed bits of her into my lungs and nostrils. I filtered her ash through my ten year old fingers and collected cups of her for god knows what reason after her epic 1980 eruption. Legends about the mountain stretch back thousands of years to her human life as a goddess, tell of the men that fought for her heart and the devastating results. She is volatile, romantic, squatchy, topless, and some geologists describe her as antisocial. Geographic features near the peak are curiously named Ape Cave, Ape Valley and Spirit Lake. It is 43 years to the day when Mount St. Helens erupted, the perfect moment to shine a spotlight on her. Let's get into it! Mount St. Helens Basics:Mount St. Helens rests in the southwest corner of Washington state, 97 miles south of Seattle and 52 miles north of Portland, Oregon. Prior to her eruption, she was the fifth highest peak in Washington and had a conical-shaped cap earning her the nickname, ‘Mount Fuji of America.' In 1792, Captain George Vancouver named the volcano for Britain's ambassador to Spain, Alleyne Fitzherbert, also known as Baron St. Helens, though native peoples named the mountain, Loowit, thousands of years earlier.Show Sources and More Reading:30 Fun Facts about MSH Original Tacoma News Tribune newspaper after Mount St Helens erupted:https://www.discoverwalks.com/blog/united-states/unbelievable-facts-about-mount-st-helens/https://www.livescience.com/63505-mount-st-helens-location-explained.html Great Native Legends of Mount St. Helens:https://cascadiabioregion.org/department-of-bioregion/native-place-names-loowit-mt-st-helenshttps://volcano.oregonstate.edu/native-american-myths *********************************************************************Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots to explore the rumor riddled Cascade Mountain Range, a land of fire and ice.

Prices have been steadily climbing for some time now. What is driving this unprecedented increase in inflation and how can you insulate your financial future from these black swan events? Many retirees are aware of risk and volatility within the market, but inflation itself can be a silent killer that lowers your future buying power when it comes to things like gas, groceries, and health care costs.  We have recently hit a 40-year high with inflation at 8.5%. Most experts still expect us to be facing high inflation rates a year from now, some are even predicting the possibility of a recession. Unpacking inflation and how it can impact your investments and retirement future is essential. If you aren't incorporating this into your future income plan you may find yourself taking too much risk on in the future to make up for those losses. Bonds and fixed income are also subject to the risk of inflation as they are inversely related to interest rates and an increase in rates can result in a drop. So, how do we make sure our portfolio has the right amount of balance?  We recommend really analyzing your budget and understanding what you are getting for your dollar. This allows you to move into a diversified investment strategy that can garner you a return that will make your budget work during an inflationary period. If you are invested in bonds, think about asking your advisor about the various tools you can use to protect your plan. Find the best rotation of investment tools fit for you. On today's episode, we'll break down inflation, its impact on your money, and how you can protect yourself now and in the future.

What does it mean to have a strong ethical foundation when you are a teacher of dogs? We toss around words like "positive reinforcement" trainer, but what does that really mean beyond the label. In this episode, our premier episode, Kay Laurence and Sue McGuire talk about what it means to be an ethical trainer. We discuss how ethics can change based on a trainer's individual skills and education. It's a place we should be starting all of our discussions.

Ahh Haaa!... New genetic clue might explain why this breed is more food obsessed than any other... And the reason might actually help humans too! Vets tell us loveable Labradors are always on the 'over-represented' list when it comes to gastrointestinal foreign bodies. And while some dogs - just like we humans - will skip a meal simply because we don't feel all that hungry, when a Lab does it you probably should be a bit concerned! As Dr Anne Fawcett explains in her Small Animal Talk blog (link below) "There may be a genetic basis for this amazing appetite.
