Auf den ersten Blick kommt das Gemälde "Sous la grande lampe à Saint-Jacut" nicht zu aufregend daher, umso mehr aber lohnt sich diese Folge des Kunstsnacks! Jakob Schwerdtfeger deckt nicht nur die spicy Details auf, sondern erklärt auch, was es mit der "Belly-Cam" auf sich hat und warum die Künstlergruppe Nabis, sich selbst als Propheten einer neuen Malerei ansahen. Dieser Kunstsnack bringt Licht ins schummrige Dunkel!

#DessineMoiUneCollection est le premier podcast qui présente les collections du musée d'Art moderne de Troyes – Collections nationales Pierre et Denise Lévy. Le musée d'Art moderne est né de la donation de près de 2000 œuvres à l'État en 1976 par Pierre et Denise Lévy, couple d'industriels troyens et collectionneurs. Situé dans l'ancien palais épiscopal, les collections reflètent l'amour du couple Lévy pour l'art moderne de la seconde moitié du XIXe à la première moitié du XXe siècle. Elles illustrent une histoire de l'art français fondée sur la figuration sur la figuration et sur la question d'une modernité s'inscrivant dans la lignée de la tradition classique. Cette série en 11 épisodes accompagne la réouverture au public du MAM de Troyes au terme de quatre années de travaux. Le MAM présente une collection exceptionnelle répartie sur trois étages dont la scénographie a été totalement repensée avec un jardin entièrement redessiné.

We meet artist Nathanaëlle Herbelin to discuss her major solo show in Paris. A constant visitor to the Musée d'Orsay's collections since childhood, the Franco-Israeli artist Nathanaëlle Herb Elin has been invited to put her canvases and sources of inspiration into perspective. An heiress to the Nabis, the artist brings their favorite subjects – daily life, domestic interiors and intimacy – up to date in resolutely contemporary compositions.The presentation of her work at the Musée d'Orsay is very much in line with one of the focuses of the museum's cultural project, which consists of extending “Orsay's polyphony” to less classical artistic figures, in this case by presenting an emerging artist who has already won considerable critical praise. Her meteoric career since she graduated from the Paris School of Fine Arts less than ten years ago has drawn a great deal of attention and will also provide an opportunity to highlight the Musée d'Orsay's interest in artists attending the school that is its neighbor, especially the alumni fascinated by its collections. The Spring 2024 temporary exhibition will show how the artist delicately follows the path of the Nabis. Although the artist's subtle brushstrokes, chromatic palette, and preferred motifs may bring to mind Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, or Félix Vallotton, other figurative details bring us back to a more contemporary reality: the elements of modern life (cellphones and electronic power cables) that can be seen in her updated genre scenes, and the way she brings present-day issues into these compositions. Hence, the intimacy of the maternal body at her toilette may present the model in the act of depilating, or the whole genre is called into question by the transposition of a male sitter naked in the bathtub; another canvas even presents an intimate scene centered on female pleasure, or a couple depicted in the bedroom are illuminated by the midnight blue light of a portable computer set on the knees of a figure sitting up in bed.Born in Israel in 1989 to a French father and an Israeli mother, Nathanaëlle Herbelin has always been drawn to make work that reflects her position within and between the two cultures. Her works contain subtle hints—both in subject matter and form—as windows into a world imbued with a quiet melancholy. Herbelin encourages the viewer to slow down, as a way of embracing the intimacy involved in viewing art. She has developed a formal style unique within the contemporary tendency towards figurative painting. Certain patterns and colours appear more defined than others in the softened memories that she so delicately captures. Earth tones give the works a quality evocative of a reverie and her loose brushwork recalls post-impressionist techniques. Herbelin has cited Les Nabis—a group of young painters active in Paris during the late 19th century—as a central influence in her practice. Most notably, she takes inspiration from the stylistic poetry that art historical figures such as Pierre Bonnard applied to domestic scenes. This modern twist should indisputably be able to resonate with the paintings of Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard and Felix Vallotton, hung permanently in these galleries, with no conflict or impression of imitation since the world of Nathanaëlle Herbelin remains so sensitive and unique.Follow @NathanaelleHerbelin and @MuseeOrsayThanks to @XavierHufkens and @GalerieJousseEnterprise Hosted on Acast.

Portraitiste mondain, Edouard Vuillard est recruté en 1916 comme « peintre des armées ». Il va réaliser, sur commande de l'Etat, deux toiles qui représentent l'effort de guerre de l'industrie française pour alimenter les lignes de front en armes et munitions. Deux toiles d'une modernité quasi photographique. « Effet de jour » représente l'univers assourdissant des machines, tandis que « Effet de jour » dépeint le travail acharné des « munitionnettes », ces tourneuses d'obus qui travaillaient la nuit pour renforcer les équipes. Les deux toiles, atypiques dans l'œuvre de Vuillard, ont bénéficié d'un important travail de restauration réalisé par le Centre de recherche et de restauration des Musées de France à Versailles, qui leur a permis de retrouver leur éclat d'origine.   Avec les témoignages de : -        Juliette Faivre-Préda, conservatrice du Musée -        Claudia Sindaco, restauratrice de tableaux, spécialiste des œuvres de Vuillard et des Nabis

With the defeat of Philip V at Cynoscephalae, Flamininus was tasked with deciding the fate of Greece in the postwar period. At the Isthmian Games of 196, he declared the freedom and autonomy of the Greeks, but resistance from the Aetolian League and Nabis of Sparta threatened to overturn the Roman-imposed peace, eventually drawing Antiochus III into Europe.

Au terme d'importants travaux de rénovation, le Musée d'Art Moderne de Troyes rouvre au public. Un tout nouvel écrin réparti sur trois étages et un jardin, pour présenter sa collection exceptionnelle issue en grande partie de la donation de plus de 2 000 œuvres faite en 1976 par Pierre et Denise Lévy, de riches industriels de la bonneterie troyenne. Pierre Lévy estimait que sa collection était le fruit du travail des ouvriers troyens du textile et que, à ce titre, la collection qu'il a construite durant plus de 25 ans devait revenir aux Troyens. Episode 1 avec les témoignages de : - Juliette Faivre-Préda, conservatrice du Musée - Eric Lombard, Directeur Général du Groupe Caisse des Dépôts, petit-fils de Pierre et Denise Lévy - Pierre Lévy, (archives de Radioscopie, émission culte de Jacques Chancel sur France Inter) - Marc Sebeyran, premier adjoint au maire de Troyes, en charge de la Culture et du Patrimoine    

This work by Edouard Vuillard reminds me of the old Magic Eye images that ran in the Sunday comics back in the '90s. You'd be presented with a dense, colorful pattern and have to figure out what the hidden image was. I could never do it.  In today's episode we'll find out how he and a group of young artists called the Nabis threw out the rules of traditional painting to create something more personal that made the viewer have to do some of the work of figuring out what's going on. If you want to follow along, you can find it here on the Gallery's site.

Brandon Mills, the EVP of 4Front Ventures and Co-founder of Island Flower Cannabis. As EVP of 4Front, Brandon oversees the company's expansion in key markets like California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan and Washington. He has implemented a low-cost CPG production and distribution strategy and is charged with building wholesale relationships at each of the company's state-of-the-art facilities – including the 170,000 sq. ft. facility in Commerce, California, which is now what we believe to be the largest cannabis manufacturing facility in the world and has been referred to as a unicorn in cannabis manufacturing. Before 4Front Prior to joining 4Front, Brandon Mills co-founded Island Cannabis and served as president and chief operating officer of the Company. With his strong entrepreneurial and C-Suite background, Mills brings expertise in corporate strategy, operations, technology, product and data in both public and private operating environments. Island >>> 4Front After operating Island Cannabis for nearly seven years, Brandon and co-founder Ray Landgraf – now the president of operations for 4Front's California operations – were looking to scale the Company's operations. With more than 20 brands, 1800 products, and the vision, platform and team to execute strategy in key markets across the U.S., 4Front was a perfect fit. Island was ultimately acquired by 4Front in Q2 of 2022. Brandon's experience with Island and other C-suite roles position 4Front for success as the cannabis market continues to mature and evolve. Commerce Manufacturing Facility 4Front Ventures' 170,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, located outside of the City of Los Angeles, is now what we believe to be the largest, most efficient processing facility in the world. Through the facility's fully automated machinery, it can produce approximately 100,000 edibles, 12,000 pre-rolls and 9,000 vape cartridges per shift – a level of scale no other manufacturer has been able to achieve. This allows brands to get in front of California consumers without a huge CAPEX bill hanging around their neck. 4Front also has a distribution partnership with Nabis, a fully-licensed cannabis wholesale platform with the largest portfolio of cannabis brands in the world, which supplies 100% of California's dispensaries and delivery services.

Eccoci arrivati al quarto ed ultimo episodio della miniserie Il Giardino Impressionista. In questo episodio insieme a Clara Stevanato parliamo dei giardini pubblici, del verde pubblico a Parigi ritratto nelle opere di Edouard Vuillard, rappresentante di rilievo dei Nabis un gruppo di giovani artisti parigini che intrapresero la ricerca di una pittura d'avanguardia, simbolista, post-impressionista. Vuillard è stato un artista moderno, poliedrico, amante della fotografia. Utilizzava diverse tecniche, dalla litografia alla pittura su cartone e nelle sue opere ritraeva in particolare il verde urbano parigino. I giardini pubblici e le opere di Vuillard di cui parliamo in questo episodio sono: "Le Square de la Trinité" (1894) , "Les Jardins publics: Les Nourrices, La Conversation, L'Ombrelle rouge" (1894), "Le Square des Batignolles" (1898), "Le Jardin des Tuileries" (1894).

Vince Ning co-founded Nabis, a company that is revolutionizing the cannabis industry and is quickly becoming the Amazon of Cannabis. But growing up in a conservative Asian household, Vince wasn't exactly raised in a weed friendly environment. His parents wanted him to do something safe and prestigious. After graduating from University of Virginia, Vince landed a great stable job at Microsoft, but that got stale quickly. Vince was doing some side projects with friends, which led to Y combinator, and even an acquisition by Amazon. With this his eyes opened to the world of successful entrepreneurship, Vince was searching for his next big project. Soon he would reconnect with his best friend from high school and start Nabis, a fully-licensed cannabis wholesale platform with the largest portfolio of cannabis brands in the world, supplying 100% of California's dispensaries and delivery services. https://www.nabis.com/ Subscribe to our Newsletter! https://findingfounders.co/subscribe Website: findingfounders.co Follow Sam: https://www.instagram.com/samueldonner/ Follow Finding Founders IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingfounderspodcast/

“Le décor impressionniste“Aux sources des Nymphéasau Musée de l'Orangerie, Parisdu 2 mars au 11 juillet 2022Interview de Anne Robbins, conservatrice peinture, musée d'Orsay, co-commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 1er mars 2022, durée 20'37.© FranceFineArt.Communiqué de presseCommissariat :Sylvie Patry, conservatrice générale, directrice de la conservation et des collections, musée d'OrsayAnne Robbins, conservatrice peinture, musée d'OrsayAssistées de : Isabelle Gaëtan, chargée d'études documentaires au musée d'OrsayEn 1952, dans une formule restée célèbre, André Masson saluait Les Nymphéas de Monet, installés à l'Orangerie 25 ans auparavant, comme la « chapelle Sixtine de l'Impressionnisme ». Avec cette comparaison si élogieuse, Masson contribuait à remettre à l'honneur un ensemble alors négligé ; surtout, portant ainsi les Nymphéas au pinacle de l'art mural, il en affirmait avec force la fonction éminemment décorative. Le décor impressionniste. Aux sources des Nymphéas invite à explorer cette dimension essentielle : Les Nymphéas, que Monet lui-même, dès 1915, appelle ses « grandes décorations », sont le couronnement de cinq décennies de pratique et de réflexion de l'artiste – et plus largement des impressionnistes – autour de la question de la « décoration », notion cruciale tout au long du XIXe siècle.En effet, si les impressionnistes n'ont pas reçu les commandes officielles espérées pour les mairies, les gares et autres édifices publics qu'érigent le Second Empire et la IIIe République, ils ont toutefois, au fil de leur carrière, réalisé nombre de peintures et d'objets décoratifs. Caillebotte, Cassatt, Cézanne, Monet, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, mais aussi Marie et Félix Bracquemond et Manet, se sont ainsi essayé à des techniques, formats et motifs variés, redéfinissant chacun(e) à leur manière l'idée même de « décoratif ». Cette notion paradoxale, alors à la fois positive et dépréciative, est au coeur de la pratique artistique, de la pensée esthétique et sociale de la fin du XIXe siècle. « Ç'a été le rêve de toute ma vie de peindre des murs », confiait Degas, comme en écho à Renoir qui voulait « transformer des murs entiers en Olympe ». Les impressionnistes ont ainsi pris part à la réflexion sur la place du beau dans la vie quotidienne, que redéfinissent alors l'industrialisation et la diffusion à une échelle inédite des arts visuels et des objets. On connaît l'apport de Gauguin et des Nabis à cette question du décor. On oublie que, de la fin des années 1860 au début du XXe siècle, les impressionnistes s'en sont emparés et ont brouillé les frontières et la hiérarchie entre tableaux de chevalet et décorations.[...]Publication – Catalogue de l'exposition sous la direction de Sylvie Patry et Anne Robbins, coédition musées d'Orsay et de l'orangerie / Hazan.

Friend of the show, Mandy Wilson Rosen is back to co-host with me this week! Welcome back, Mandy! At a recent artist meet up on Clubhouse, we learned that many many artists cite "The Spiritual in Art: Abstract Painting 1890-1985" ed. Maurice Tuchman/LACMA as their most prized book on their studio bookshelf. Neither of us had heard of the book before, so we set about to find out what all the fuss was about. The book is a TOME (heavy as a brick, dense as a neutron star and 430 pages) and out of print, but available used on Ebay and Amazon...and at other used book sellers. Mandy and I collected our thought forms, focused our internal eyes, and ascended to a higher plane ...and dove in. Artists mentioned in this episode were: Paul Gauguin, Paul Serusier, Paul Ranson, Émile Schuffenecker, Édouard Vuillard, The Nabis, Le Lotus Bleu (periodical), Odilon Redon, Hilma Af Klint, Edvard Munch, Wassily Kandinsky, Johannes Itten, Umberto Boccioni, Ralph Waldo Emerson (poet), Henry David Thoreau (poet), Walt Whitman (poet), William Blake, Arthur Dove, Georgia O'Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Albert Pinkham Ryder, Jackson Pollock, Navajo Sand Painters, Hohokam pottery showing Kokopelli, Eskimo/Inuit shaman masks, Agnes Pelton, Raymond Johnson, Nikolei Roerich, Kazimir Malevich, The Suprematists, Mikhail Matyushin, Vladimir Tatlin, Vasilisk Gnedov (poet), Pavel Filonov, Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, De Stijl movement, Max Weber Also, have a look at the fascinating "Thought-Forms: A Record of Clairvoyant Investigation" by Annie Besant and C.W.

“Signac collectionneur“au Musée d'Orsay, Parisdu 12 octobre 2021 au 13 février 2022Interview de Charlotte Hellman, responsable des archives Signac et co-commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 11 octobre 2021, durée 11'59.© FranceFineArt.Communiqué de presse Commissaire générale :Laurence des Cars, présidente-directrice du musée du Louvre.Commissariat :Marina Ferretti Bocquillon, directrice scientifique émérite du musée des Impressionnismes, Giverny, spécialiste de l'oeuvre de Paul Signac.Charlotte Hellman, responsable des archives Signac.Depuis une quinzaine d'années, le collectionnisme suscite un regain d'intérêt, et est à l'origine de nombreuses études, expositions et publications. Dans ce cadre, la collection Signac est un véritable cas d'école car elle reflète le regard et les partis pris d'un artiste particulièrement actif sur la scène artistique de son temps.La collaboration avec les archives Signac, qui conservent, outre la correspondance et le journal de l'artiste, un carnet où il a consigné ses achats, permet d'établir un recensement des peintures, dessins et estampes qui lui ont appartenu.Autodidacte, Signac apprend son métier en regardant les oeuvres des impressionnistes, en particulier celles de Claude Monet, d'Edgar Degas, de Gustave Caillebotte ou d'Armand Guillaumin qui pour la plupart figurent dans sa collection. Sa première acquisition est un paysage de Paul Cézanne.Issu d'une famille aisée sans être riche, Signac peut envisager de réunir des oeuvres importantes, mais se doit d'être réfléchi dans ses choix. D'emblée, le rôle qu'il joue dans la fondation puis l'organisation du Salon des Artistes Indépendants, dont il devient président en 1908, le place au carrefour des différentes tendances de l'avant-garde. S'il privilégie souvent les oeuvres de ses amis néo-impressionnistes, celles de Georges Seurat, de Camille Pissarro, de Maximilien Luce ou d'Henri-Edmond Cross en particulier, il s'intéresse aussi à celles des Nabis, Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Ker-Xavier Roussel, Maurice Denis et Félix Vallotton.Parmi la génération suivante, sa passion de la couleur le conduit à aimer les fauves, en particulier Kees Van Dongen, Henri Matisse, Charles Camoin et Louis Valtat. Car l'auteur du traité D'Eugène Delacroix au néoimpressionnisme indique d'emblée la filiation qui du néo-impressionnisme mène au fauvisme.La collection réserve aussi quelques surprises dont des oeuvres moins attendues chez le chantre de la couleur, comme un beau fusain d'Odilon Redon.Pour accompagner l'exposition, Signac collectionneur, catalogue de l'exposition, sous la direction de Marina Ferretti Bocquillon et Charlotte Hellman coédition musée d'Orsay / Gallimard.

Today's guest is Jun Lee, co-founder of the cannabis wholesale distribution company Nabis. To anyone even remotely paying attention, it's clear that the public perception of cannabis is rapidly changing. To date, cannabis is legal for recreational use in 18 states, plus D.C., while another 13 states have decriminalized its use. The winds of change are blowing, and they're headed towards legalization on a national level. The only question is how long it will be until we get there. For many though, the race towards market domination began long ago. Jun saw a budding industry with loads of untapped potential back in 2017 when he founded Nabis. In just four short years he's taken the company from a single van making once-a-week shipping runs to serving over 100 cannabis brands and almost 100% of California's licensed weed retailers. Listen in as we cover everything from why he had to initially hide his career choice from his parents, why big shipping companies like FedEx haven't gotten into cannabis distribution, and why there's no brand loyalty in the cannabis market.

Silicon Valley is a bit quieter these days and big tech workers are looking for greener pastures. At the beginning of the pandemic, the tech workforce - and a significant percentage of the world's population - were asked to work from home. Nabis, a leading cannabis distribution platform in California, realizes that these employees are now both comfortable and productive while working remotely. Seizing the moment, Nabis is actively taking advantage of this shift in dynamics and recruiting tech workers to come to the cannabis industry. Vince Ning, CEO of Nabis, left his position as a software engineer with Microsoft to start his own business, an app development platform that he eventually sold and is now Amazon's AppSync. Following this Ning, and co-founder Jun S. Lee started Nabis in 2017 with the vision “To empower the world to discover cannabis by providing choice, access, and innovation.” https://www.cannabistech.com/webcasts/a-tech-moment/taking-advantage-of-the-big-tech-exodus/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

“Édition Limitée”Vollard, Petiet et l'estampe de maîtresau Petit Palais, Parisdu 26 janvier au 23 mai 2021Extrait du communiqué de presse :Commissariat :Clara Roca, conservatrice des arts graphiques et photographies des XIXe et XXe siècles au Petit PalaisLe Petit Palais explore avec cette exposition inédite l'activité d'éditeur d'estampes et de livres illustrés de l'emblématique marchand d'art Ambroise Vollard. Vollard travailla avec les plus grands artistes de son temps : Picasso, Bonnard, Cassatt, Chagall, Maillol, Redon, Rouault et tant d'autres. Passionné par l'édition, il y a investi l'essentiel de sa fortune tirée de la vente des toiles des maîtres modernes et hissa cette activité à un niveau d'exigence jamais vu jusqu'alors. Bénéficiaire de nombreux dons et legs de Vollard lui‑même et de ses héritiers, le Petit Palais a choisi de mettre en valeur cet ensemble exceptionnel d'estampes, livres illustrés et objets d'édition (bronzes et céramiques), enrichi de nombreux prêts d'autres institutions et collections.L'exposition sera l'occasion d'évoquer également la personnalité d'Henri Marie Petiet, successeur de Vollard et figure majeure du commerce de l'estampe d'après-guerre. L'exposition rend donc un double hommage au rôle de ces deux marchands et éditeurs d'art.La carrière de marchand d'Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939) le situe comme une figure essentielle du commerce de l'art au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles, entre Paul Durand-Ruel et Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. C'est lui qui promeut Cézanne, Gauguin et qui ouvre sa galerie au jeune Picasso.En plus de ses activités de marchand de tableaux, il se lance avec passion dans l'édition d'estampes dès 1894 en rééditant la Suite Volpini de Gauguin. Mais l'aventure débute réellement lorsqu'il réalise les deux fameux Album des peintres-graveurs (1896 et 1897), qui réunissent les planches de maîtres comme Fantin-Latour, Puvis de Chavannes, ou de jeunes artistes qui incarnent une nouvelle modernité comme les Nabis, dans le sillage de Redon. Vollard diffuse les oeuvres de Mary Cassatt mais édite aussi la fameuse suite des Saltimbanques de Picasso ainsi que des albums individuels de Bonnard, Vuillard et Denis en misant sur le même principe de l'édition d'estampes d'artistes à tirage limité. En parallèle, il développe une activité d'éditeur de livres d'artiste. Il s'y investit entièrement, tant financièrement que personnellement. Il lui faut pourtant attendre les années 1920 et surtout 1930 pour voir les ventes se multiplier et un engouement se créer autour de ses éditions. Son perfectionnisme le conduit à sélectionner et à commander lui-même les papiers et les caractères d'imprimerie. Vollard prend ainsi un rôle de créateur à part entière, en coordonnant tous les acteurs d'une aventure éditoriale titanesque.Dès ses premières éditions, notamment son magistral Parallèlement de Verlaine illustré par Bonnard (1900), Vollard choque les bibliophiles par ses partis pris, et surtout par son affection pour la lithographie en couleurs. Sa réputation est faite. Suivront de nombreuses réalisations d'envergure, comme Le Jardin des supplices (illustrations de Rodin, 1902), Sagesse (Maurice Denis, 1911), Les Fleurs du mal (Émile Bernard, 1916), Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu (Picasso, 1931) ou encore Passion (Rouault, 1939). Son influence auprès des artistes est telle qu'il encourage les peintres à s'intéresser parfois durablement à l'estampe bien sûr, mais aussi à s'essayer à la peinture sur céramique ou encore à la sculpture, comme c'est le cas pour Maillol.En 1939, il décède brutalement dans un accident de voiture. Henri Marie Petiet (1894-1980), qui se fourni auprès de Vollard depuis les années 20, rachète l'essentiel de son stock d'estampes, dont la fameuse Suite Vollard de Picasso, dont il va assurer la diffusion. Il s'impose d'emblée comme son successeur en tant que marchand d'estampes, mais aussi comme passeur de la modernité française à l'étranger et notamment aux États-Unis. Petiet édite lui-même certains créateurs qui ont travaillé avec Vollard, comme Maillol ou Derain, et se lance à son tour dans l'édition d'un livre d'artiste, Les Contrerimes de Toulet illustré par Jean-Émile Laboureur, son graveur fétiche. Enfin, il soutient de nouveaux artistes comme Marie Laurencin, Marcel Gromaire ou encore Edouard Goerg qui le présente comme le « plus Vollard des marchands ».La médiation de l'exposition permettra de mieux comprendre les techniques de l'estampe et de l'imprimerie avec notamment la présentation d'outils et d'une presse taille-douce prêtée par l'Imprimerie nationale et activée lors de démonstrations. Enfin, un parcours dédié à l'exposition sera disponible en téléchargeant l'application de visite du Petit Palais lancée au même moment que l'exposition. L'application, dont le contenu sera également disponible sur le visioguide du musée, offrira une visite guidée très vivante de l'exposition à travers quelques oeuvres clés et grâce aux propres anecdotes de Vollard et de Petiet, dont les personnalités atypiques et attachantes seront ainsi mises en valeur. Il y aura en outre un mini-site ludique permettant de composer une page d'édition avec des typographies et des motifs ornementaux.Catalogue de l'exposition aux Éditions Paris MuséesFigure hors norme du marché de l'art au tournant du siècle, Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939) se distingue par son audace qui le fit soutenir des artistes modernes comme Cézanne, Gauguin ou encore le jeune Picasso et Rouault. Caractère difficile et énigmatique, il se passionne également pour l'édition d'estampes et le livre illustré, déployant beaucoup de son énergie et de ses moyens pour solliciter inlassablement créateurs et collectionneurs. À la fin de la guerre, Henri Petiet (1894-1980) rachète le fonds de la galerie Vollard, dont il était client, s'approvisionnant régulièrement en planches de Bonnard ou Picasso (il fera notamment signer par Picasso la fameuse « Suite Vollard »). Superbement illustré, cet ouvrage met en lumière le rôle capital de ces deux marchands dans le domaine spécifique de l'édition d'estampes et de livres d'artiste.

Sean & I first met a few years back on Fatherhood for the Rest of Us & we hit it off... to me it was obvious he needed to be a guest on Spiritual Dope. I hope that you enjoy listening to this episode as we did having the conversation. Unknown Speaker 0:02 You're listening to the spiritual dope podcast with your host, Unknown Speaker 0:06 Brandon Handley. Brandon Handley 0:08 The spiritual dope. Unknown Speaker 0:11 Be sure to follow Unknown Speaker 0:12 us on Facebook and on our website, the spiritualdope.co Unknown Speaker 0:16 Ready, set, Brandon Handley 0:18 go. Hey there spiritual dope I am on today with Sean McCoy who is one of the hosts of the company table podcast, which is a series of recorded conversations, which he invites people to come to the table to have authentic, open and honest conversations across a spectrum of subjects ranging from difficult fun to controversial, the primary goal of the interaction is exemplified love and understanding and a discussion that would inform the listener while encouraging the happy conversation of their own. Man. It's been a minute and for those of you that don't know, Shawn, I've had a couple conversations before that was back in fatherhood for the rest of us. And when I spun up spiritual dope, I came across like your podcast has like, man, let's get you back on so so I'm so thrilled to have you back on. Thanks for showing up today. Unknown Speaker 1:07 It's a pleasure to be here, my friend. And I really love what you're doing. You know, when I first saw the title, I was just kind of was enamored with this idea, cuz I've had my own transition, even the last 24 to 36 months around around cannabis and around what that what that word means. And then I think just the idea of that intimacy with the divine intimacy with where you're going with life, just in another way, you just kind of you just bring it the style as far as just as it's very open, very inclusive. You're trying to understand there's no, there's no desire to control or is it to overcome or to try to convince and I just think it's a beautiful way to do it, man. Appreciate your work. Brandon Handley 1:41 Now, thank you so much. Thank you. So I appreciate that means a lot. It really does. We'd like to start this off I say we on the host creator and all the other things but I like to start these off with the idea that you are a vessel for the divine right and and what comes through you needs to come through you for the universe to operate at its optimal scale. Right. And it needs to, you need to deliver a message to somebody who's listening today. Right? What is that message that's coming through today? Sure. Sean McCoy 2:10 So I just finished coincidentally, the book it's called the physics of God with Joseph Selby. And Joseph Selby is a quantum physicist. And I'm in the in the so interesting to me that I finished it today coming on your show, because one of the things in so he interplays You know, he kind of remarries science and religion, which I think had the big split back in the time of Galileo and Copernicus that was really kind of this, the beginning of the end of that that beautiful relationship where it had to be one or the other. And that dichotomy that dualism, I just, it has to be that's been a big area of growth, for me personally, just getting away from all that polarity. But in that one of the things that he talked about was in Genesis, he alludes to this idea of looking at these quantum experiments and talking about quantum entanglement quantum foam, and all these other real fancy words. And I'm, I can, Sam, if he asked me to explain it to you unpack it, about 50 60% of it, because it's not, you know, I'm a pretty heady guy, like I like to think but it's, it's complicated. But overall, one of the things that underlying things that made me think of what you just said was, in Genesis, we've heard this phrase anybody's heard it, that man is made in God's image in the typical response to the typical kind of human thought is that there's a human element to God and he created and that, you know, we had, he had elbows and maybe some sort of element of the physical versus this idea from a quantum standpoint of looking and saying, no, it's eternal consciousness that God has, that he's infusing and creating you with that image, because that's what we all have internally. So instead of being limited by the physical, and saying, Oh, this must be some physical manifestation of God, it's more of a vessel to hold the manifestation of God which is the eternal self and the eternal consciousness of all of us so that I just kind of felt like that was one of those points in my head as I was listening to it this morning as I was out mountain biking like I just told you to do now the just in terms of your show and just the people in who's out there wanting to know what what in the world is going on? Where is my place? And all this? What how in the world? What do I know to believe in because as soon as you find anything, there's some other use especially now you can google anything and there's gonna be somebody else telling you all the things that are wrong with it doesn't matter if it's a business No matter if it's a belief or whatnot. And I think part of that mystery and part of that chaos is intentional into give us this this desire to seek and this desire to continue to go internally and this desire to truly try to be intimate with both ourselves others and the divine and so the ultimate message around all of that is that in that journey you're not alone is one of the biggest lies out there this You and I were talking about our reminiscing I think you remember that shoot out the shower story that I told you about that is not out here this is I you know, I was first deciding to become a Christian and following go against this all this stuff I'd ever thought and like what in the world is my problem and I was in the gym in in the water was coming to my head and it was black and I can remember that you know this this radiance you know I get away from this idea that it's light darkness but just this radiance off in the distance that you know started to go to and I could feel it. Like I'm like in my body but I'm normal but then my it's this weird thing started to transition I got scared, right? You get kind of like, Whoa, this is way too kind of UI. I know one of your big questions about you know, and I don't go too far ahead, but just understanding that you're your own self, you know, your your self awareness and, and then I kind of put the kibosh on it, you know, just that moment of just fear. And, and you'd mentioned, yeah, you kind of you're like, yeah, you're not gonna have that same. So I think that idea of, I think if we all took a step back, and all the weird stuff, we've been through all the stuff that we've experienced, it doesn't make any sense that it's okay to it's okay to relish and it's okay to be to sit in the mystery and to sit in the unknown. And that I think we get too involved sometimes to try and to fill it, try to give it some parameter and some frame. And just instead of just basking in the idea that there's a, there's an element of this that we just can't figure out. And then even if we do figure it, even if even as we go on that journey, what you may define as the divine or what you may define as these things, so not it doesn't become a situation where I'm trying to get you to understand it the way that I do. But we can kind of find some commonality back to what we're talking about before. One of the big words that's been kind of redefined for me is the word peace for a long time. Always envision peace as this idea that there's no problems that everything is you know, calm. It's like just, there's there's no issues, there's no anger, there's no fighting, there's no, it's just one thing. And if you go back and look at the Hebrew word Shalom, and really what it means it talks about tension, like this tension between between areas, and if you look at the way bridges work, you'll get the way that how's it anything, that what creates that structures, there's there's counter tensions all over the place, right? tension bridge, and you'd suspend ropes, muscle works by tension, and so is it but when you look at it, we look at a bridge, it's not moving, but it's under incredible tension. And we see it when that tension breaks. So in terms of human in terms of relational aspects, it's not about whether or not I can convince you of something that I think is right, or try to get you on my team, or try to use fear and shame and manipulation and power and authority because of my own shortcomings to get you to conform to something that I want to but can I sit in the attention of a differentiating opinion, thought truth, whatever you want to call it? It? Can I relish with you in that it can that is that okay? And I think that that's where When, when, when all the great wisdom books talk about peace, I think if you really break it down, and if you really go further into the, the basic tenants of all of them, that's what they're talking about. And it's not that you can get rid of that tension. And so we try to act like you know, it's always like, you go back and read ancient wisdom books, again, it's like, you can hear today's story, then I was just having this conversation with my hands, you can hear the you go back and read him back at Kurt, you just got into reading Jeremiah, which is one of my favorite Old Testament prophets. And it sounds like they're talking about today, those books were written 2800, you know, 3000 years ago now, you know, in terms of accuracy and verbatim, and is it inherent? I'm not an inerrant. I'm not gonna say, I mean, nothing is inerrant. I think that's part of the beauty and mystery of all this. And so it's more about the con, it's more about what was the big takeaway, if somebody's lamenting, if they're not sure about tomorrow, there's all these what do they do, there's the chaos of life. It's never, it's just crazy, right? And we like to think that it's never been crazier and never been more worried, never ever been weird or never been more uncertain than it is now. Because it's the only reality that we have. It's like the cart totally kind of thing of like, it's just the power of the moment. And we sometimes dismiss and forget of what has come before us. And so so but when you read these old ancient writers, and you're like, wait a minute, that sounds like now. And so because we think that because technology or other things have progressed, that means people are progressed with it. And it's not really what that's not the same. It's not the same thing. It just means we're right, we're doing this by computer on on the internet versus, you know, versus some written letters like back in the day and look at some of the founding fathers and some of the people before that they would have these great debates. And people don't realize that they would have them over the period of weeks and months over written letters, right, versus we can talk all day long over and over again, re edited and other assist, right, it's all here for us. So really all that to say, you know, the three great questions that I always think about in terms of what people are, can take away when you're looking at things and where they can find hope and inspiration, in a sense is as you look at things that used to be Is it good? Is it true? Is it beautiful, was the original kind of that's the first way to look at it. I've been having this internal war around dualism, because as soon as you because good and bad is all subjective, even then, as an opposite you start going down that road. And you know, truth is a is a funny thing. Unknown Speaker 9:12 Is it so as I know, that's absolutely true. It's like wow, you know, I used to think so too. Not so much anymore. And so instead of that, I like to say, is it beneficial? Is it is it harmonious? And is it beautiful? And so in terms of is it beneficial? Because that that really broadens that ability to understand the impact something has on you know, is it a bad thing to have cancer? Well, it could kill you. And that's our initial thought is No. But if you've been around suffering, if you've been around some of these things that people go through, there's a there's a transformation that happens and this comes in part of the journey. The last couple years of recognizing this frequency isn't you talk about your undercurrent to talk about formulas that walk through life, others a gentleman by the name of Alexander john Shi'a, who is one of two people they've been the most profound, had the most profound impact on me in the last couple of years, just in turn. My way see the divine The way I see the Christ if you will Brandon Handley 10:05 see an author or friend or he's Unknown Speaker 10:07 kind of a way to become a friend like him and I like we actually talk once a week now we're doing some things personally but he from a from an educational standpoint, was a anthropologist. He went to university Notre Dame, he studied under Joseph Campbell, Joseph Campbell was the hero's journey. Joseph Campbell was inspired Star Wars, right. So just he was a student of Joseph Campbell. Brandon Handley 10:26 That's some powerful lineage right there. Unknown Speaker 10:28 Yes. And so it's so this comes into play, because you could you know, this, around the storyline. And so, but he grew up, he grew up Maronite Catholic, but he grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, in the 50s. And he's Lebanese, he was first generation full Lebanese in, in the US. But because of this goes into this country how this works out because of segregation laws in the 50s. And 60s, they weren't allowed to live anywhere by themselves. So they were like, it was like living back in Lebanon. So the irony is in terms of, like beneficial, so we would say none of us, I mean, like to think but would say that we should have laws that separate people based on ethnicity. But there's a beautiful way that shows Well, something that's negative like that can actually become a bit of a positive, if you will, depending and it allowed them to grow up kind of in this old way. He grew up basically in a Lebanese village in Birmingham, Alabama, with just his just his people, because the laws around it wouldn't allow for them. And he was 13th 13th generation, his lineage goes back that many like 1300 years in terms of this particular tribe and his people and so he wasn't a student of following that of Christ. You lived it, like it was a every day, embodied, very intimate, very traditional, very ritualistic very much in that in this in this sense, and not traditional like is in terms of like closed off. But in terms of like internal internal kind of discovery, internal kind of looking at is in terms of So anyway, partly Isn't he but he realizes he needs to go somewhere else besides seminary, he needs to go somewhere besides your traditional and become just a priest because he was supposed to, that's the reason he was named Alexander. So he goes to Notre Dame realizes that he cannot really get exposed to this because you can become this anthropology student in between Joseph Campbell and just the teachers that it blows up his whole foundation, because he was in this tribalistic, kind of like almost kind of set. And now it opens up his mind all these other ways. And all these other things, he starts to see the same pattern of the same elements throughout all these different whether it's an ancient civilizations or current ones. And there's uniqueness. But there's also this synergy. And he starts to recognize this one, and he goes and becomes you get this masters and his PhD in clinical psychology. And then he goes on to use that as a practice. But he really is this internal struggle, he spends 40 years, and he has this moment where he takes the hero's journey, Joseph Campbell's journey, you can kind of come up different variations where there's kind of four primary paths, there's the first party step into the challenge, right, there's the there's the opportunity where you can begin the path. Second is the issues, the obstacles that you that you go through. Third is that is the transformation evolution, the fruit, the boom that you get in the fourth is in the service relative to that. And so that's the those are the main Crux doesn't mean tenants. What's interesting about those four concepts is they are also the main tenants of all of our lives. As I start to see it, we all know this story. We've all had challenges, we've either stepped into it because we decided to a new job, a new podcast, a new, a new whatever, you have these moments of like stepping into this idea of like understanding things a different way. That takes courage. And there's a step into that, right. And then there's then what you do is like, great, here we go. And then all sudden you trip, you're like, oh, what's going on, and there's obstacles, and that suffering is typically looked at as something we're trying to avoid. But the irony is, that is part of that crucible that is part of that that intensity that allows for growth to happen, that's where you become, I don't like to use the word strong because it starts to create a, an element of like physicality, with just the ability to resist and that's that growth that comes through that resistance, if you will. So as you grow through that, well, then there becomes a point when there's a fruit, there's a boon that happens, right? There's something there's an evolution, there's a transformation, there's a recognition, it's like rings on a tree is that grow out, right? Don't say this is the next ring, and you're there. Yeah. And then of course, the fourth pass is this really, really critical part? Because now that you've done that, what are you going to do with this gift that you've been given? What is this new perspective? And now you start back at the first path, right? And now you start over because it's not a linear thing? You're not trying to get to a place and be done it's this just continues man, we're just on this. Brandon Handley 14:12 Right? Absolutely. So you know, we got we got a lot in there to unpack my friend we got a lot and unpack so I'm ending with that last piece that she just said there. You know, the idea of to me is kinda like that Golden Ratio right of how the spiral continues to get larger as you say, you know, you start off in the beginning and then that's your story like it just continues to get larger there's more greater pieces that come into it but you keep circling around kind of the the primary aspects of your life and and your story, right, but everything else you bring into it, it gets larger, your boobs get larger, your challenges seem larger to the people beneath you, but like the those challenges are just your next evolution point. And it's also like you said here, too With the idea of Yeah, going through all that, and then what do you do with that? Boom, right? This is done. I mean, look, man, not for nothing. That's what you and I are doing with these podcasts, right? we've, we've discovered something else in our lives that it makes sense to share it out with other people help people maybe to find that for themselves. You know, a big piece that I'm doing right now is comes out of a book called power versus force. And the idea of, you know, accepting that challenge, Shawn, it's gonna take what what's it going to take? It's gonna take a little bit of courage to take that step if you don't take that step, right. The refusal of the call, right, that's another part that's a you know, that's another big part. Right? So if you refuse to call the hero, that's where you find in my mind, you find a lot of regret the coulda, shoulda woulda is what if I didn't take that path? Right. So that's kind of the refusal is is leads to this kind of life less lived. scenario. Unknown Speaker 15:54 So stillborn is the word I always think about. Hmm, wow. So stillborn or stagnant? Like, like, if you refuse to recognize that pet like you don't have to go down it. You don't. I mean, you can even be when you've had, I'm sure you've seen people where you've had a major life challenge or change. It's even forced upon them. And they're still it's like this, we call it denial or whatever. But they're just not not going down the path. And so it's like a broken record just kind of caught. Yeah. In that. You can't go any further. And that's the that's the irony. Is it in? Is it everybody has the opportunity to say no, but you don't have to go down these paths you, you can get the boon and then just sit on it. Right, right. Yeah, you've decided to take this. I hear it when you're when you're talking. Like there's been a revelate there's an intimacy there's, you've seen something and now you're like, ah, heck do I do with this thing? That's it. Brandon Handley 16:39 I mean, that's, that's it? 100%? Right. I mean, that's the that's the genesis of spiritual dope, right? The deal is that here, here, there's this new, not necessarily even a new way of thinking, it's just new to me way of being. And now how do I integrate that with all the other things and everything else has always ever been, and not even necessarily for benefits so that I can exist on all planes of existence, right? And just keep moving forward. And not feel as though I'm not honoring my inner self as well. Right, this connection to God, this divine right, this thing that really deserves much more honoring than I've ever given it before. But now that it's here, I'm like, Unknown Speaker 17:20 shit, Brandon Handley 17:21 we got to do something here. Right. Right. So and, and, you know, I mean, just just for your own knowledge, like, I struggled with that, because it's something that I've been with for a while, and I did the other podcast where I did prosperity practice, right. But then I was like, I'm still not honoring the truth of how I'm feeling right. I had a few conversations with some people that I knew that were and are. And I was like, well, there's no reason why I can't do it, too. Right. So let's, let's begin it with spiritual dope, right, let's, uh, you know, I can help people through through that and find people such as yourself, and some others that are leading a life through spirituality, and having a more fulfilled kind of life purpose, because of it, right. And when they, you know, when they get to the end of it, they're gonna be like, I did everything to honor like, the divine within myself. Right. Unknown Speaker 18:11 Right. And also, it's also a gift, right? It's part of this is this, the opportunity comes to me you sort of define kind of why I mean, like, I love science, like it's a part of this book is teaching us we can't really trust even what we're measuring. Even if we could, you know, the irony to science is they could never answer. Scientifically speaking, you cannot use the scientific method to answer the question that we all want to know. Brandon Handley 18:35 At least it's subjective, it's always going to be subjective, actually, I mean, I did a podcast on last week on this, right. Like, the whole idea is like, it will always be subjective. But there are distinctive patterns in people who have fallen into this. And that's, that's why when you read meditations, that's why when you read the Bible, that's why when you know, you read any book of wisdom, you can now see that pattern, you're like, holy shit, that's the pattern. And and you can recognize that everywhere you go, you know, so the whole idea of everything's a miracle and nothing's a miracle. Everything's God or nothing's God, right? Like, you just got to make that choice. And that's what you'll see. So you know, one of the things that we you touched on it right was the you're kind of yours what yours was quite literal, come to Jesus moment, while we talk about what that was like for you again, because this This podcast is, it's also the gives people that understanding of Alright, well, this is happening to me now, what do I do with it? Right? We've been through a part of that. Obviously, we haven't gotten to the end. But what does it look like from your perspective? Unknown Speaker 19:44 Well, I think part of it is you have to be willing to relinquish control in a sense of what you think you know, and what you think is even possible, and that we've allowed ourselves I know I did for a long time. So when I was younger, up into my early 30s allowed myself to believe that because I was heady and because I was smart, because I had, you know, people told me so and I knew it. But somehow you've got that you've kind of figured it out. There's there's a, there's a humble aspect to all this, that if that if I were to say anything from a preparation standpoint, it's truly and this is our podcast, the one that I did. And even I think it dissipated a conversation, are you willing to just listen to this, hear it out. Now, I understand that you can't hear out everything that's ever thrown at you. And there's a lot of noise out there. And there that is now more than ever, so the biggest challenge are so much noise, right? We can get lost in YouTube for hours and not even know where we're at, or Instagram or whatever, you can get lost in the noise. But back you're saying about this frequency? If it's answers those questions, is it beneficial? Is it harmonious? And is it beautiful? Whoever saying it or whatever saying it, I think if you use that as kind of a starting point, say and then hear it out? I mean, how do you how do you sit there and listen to some of these ancient masters and some ancient people that and I mean, like even modern day ancients when they give wisdom and they give when they when they talk about these things. So all that to say that, just just be humble about what you're doing. And be humble about the approach and realize that it's okay to say that you don't know something. And and then allow yourself to then explore and in really taking things that are uncomfortable, it took me forever, Brandon to not wince during the name Jesus. I mean, it took me years to not because for years, I was kind of like the, the church leader on Saturday Night Live where it was like, I would hear that word and just go, Oh, God, every time somebody resists Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, you know, kind of thing. It took me a while to tour that name didn't, didn't bother me. So I think in terms of that, in terms of that approach, there's also a little bit of grace you have to give yourself to understand your and you have to knock off some of these old habits. This idea of, like, favorite real quick, Brandon Handley 21:47 what is Grace mean to Unknown Speaker 21:49 Grace's the capacity for growth, the capacity for wandering and being lost a little bit from making the decision that maybe turns out later Nabis beneficial graces allowing for exploration and just the existence of a maybe even since I was a negative energy, but just an incomplete perspective, allowing for that incomplete perspective of yourself because that's the thing we become self critical. Go back. I should have known better. How did I not know better? Oh my gosh, now that I know I will never get it wrong again. Right now. Okay, now I get it all now get all figured out. But just do it this way. It'll stay that way. And I won't falter. This hole is the one phrase that is getting more and more old for me is around. Oh, well. Nobody's perfect. yet. We got that part. Everybody. Like we we all check the box that nobody's perfect. That's true. Okay, but what does that even mean? So that means there's that there's an allowance for for that stumbling. There's an allowance for just that even hurt and pain and just being flat out wrong. In some cases. Last night on LinkedIn, of all places on social media, I saw a gracious interaction between two people, where one person was just being a smartass, and just a just a troll, just a absolute troll and just the other person responded with absolute kindness, absolute kind of truly, this and I even reached out to him personally. And now we're connected and they're gonna come on this oil and gas podcast that I'm doing because I'm like, I'm like, that was an amazing example of just, it was inspiring because to see somebody do what you hear mostly is all the ridiculousness, right? We don't see that. So grace, and even if you do, Grace is allowing, what about that idiot? What about? I was I talk to my people that I know that follow Christ? And they're like, do you know that Paul wrote half the New Testament, more than half the New Testament? Oh, by the way, he had a massive conversion story. There was a there was a point in his life where he killed Christians, because he just just because to eradicate them from the earth, like in a is awful ways you can approach a group of people like just ethnic cleansing, he was the guy in charge. And I was like, What? Yeah, the guy who wrote more than half the New Testament is attributed with with living a lifestyle like that. Brandon Handley 23:57 I did not know that. I mean, that's I mean, that that again, that's, I mean, that's a powerful image. It just one of the things that you think about right brings to my mind anyways, is maybe even our judicial system, or our penal system, right? Where, hey, somebody goes and makes like this stupid mistake, right? Murder is a stupid mistake. Not everybody means to murder somebody in this in certain scenarios. And I think that something you and I have probably learned along our path is how to, you know, not let our not be controlled by our emotions. It's something you hear everybody always say, but that's not easy to learn. Right? And it's, it's not easy to get somebody who's a good teacher that either right and so that we don't have a whole lot of examples of that. So, you know, somebody goes to the penal system, murder somebody, I'm not saying that's a good idea. Don't go out and do it. But in the end, like, I mean, you're still going to be accepted by God. That was a big mistake, but like, this person still has the capability to become and do some great things. for humanity? Unknown Speaker 25:01 Well, let's do that. What makes me think of that is a former military. And so murder dependent back to the good and bad was beneficial, not beneficial, but what we celebrate our heroes in the uniform, right? The most celebrated people. I mean, Chris Kyle, people like that, that we think about, he was a sniper, like his entire job was to kill people were the right man. That's what he did. I mean, that's not such sugarcoat what his what his job was, and what he was given awards for, and medals and book deals, and a movie was made. So So it all depends on context and the perspective of whether you think it's the right thing or not. So I think that's, that's really important, too. And then, and then again, back to your question about grace and redemption is it should it only be for one or the other based on what we think is, you know, acceptable or beneficial things are good or bad at that time. And that's where you talk about dope. And one of the big areas in my life that kind of took a big, a very big deconstruction, or just was around legal narcotics is around drugs, including psychedelics, and I grew up kid in the 80s, total square, I didn't drink till I was 21. Because it was illegal. That would give me a hard time they thought it was ridiculous that would do that. I was just kind of the way that I was wired. It didn't mean that I didn't drink. It didn't mean I didn't speed. It didn't mean I didn't break the law, or I wasn't, you know, I'm not I'm not Jesus, and nor do I claim to be, but I tried to strive towards that, in the last couple years, one of the areas that that really kind of shattered this idea of kind of this, this belief, I was given before these this perspective, that was defined around illegal narcotics and the whole story behind that whole the whole drug war and start looking at cannabis, as well. I think it's funny, we call it spiritual dope. It's like, you know, if you go back and read, look and look at the plan to look at what it is, I can honestly think that might be the most valuable plant ever that God's ever created, the utility of that plan is incredible in every way. And so the idea that we've outlawed it, especially based on something like race, and we've criminalized it, and there's people that if you look at our our incarceration rate in the last 50 years in the United States, leads the world in incarceration per cat. I mean, that's, that's not something we should want to be number one, and that is any group in the organization, right? I mean, mass incarceration is not, it's not a sign of a healthy, vibrant culture, in my opinion, which is really incredible. If you think of how well we've done economically, or even everything else, that we've done this with a massive segment of our population, disproportionately, you know, disassociated from everything that we do. And I think that's a real opportunity going forward. But part of the pandemics put out there and pushing these social issues to the top is it's like, it's not about even equality, or just you know, we have to have, you know, a one of everything. It's more like, you're just you haven't tapped into this base. It's almost like knowledge, like, you haven't even tapped into this amazing group of people. And you've been putting them to the side and oppressing them. And now it's a chance to bring back everyone to the table, man, what you know, got Gumbo and all that stuff. You know, it's all better when there's this massive numbers of ingredients going into it, Brandon Handley 27:43 not 100% and I love me some gumbo. I'm loving some gumbo, the you know, you brought you know bringing up dope, right? Like so what is your spiritual hit? Like what it what is your spiritual high? Unknown Speaker 27:56 It's happened to me a couple times. And it's that revelation or that being exposed to something that I didn't even know I needed to know, that I didn't even know was even possible. And it kind of redefines what it resets the foundation it is. There's a part of it that is awful. Because it's like erasing the whole white chalkboard, the whiteboard all over again, you got to start over. But when you do that, it's this revelation of opening the what's possible. And I'll give you a couple examples. One back to Alexander, he was talking to this other podcast about so near make Jesus his name was Yeshua, and Yeshua and he said the word in Aramaic for from us for what we call Messiah, or the Christ was missy. Missy. It's an it's almost like an automatic pa it's this number I was out I was outside doing some work in the backyard and listen to sing ecosistema See, it was the issue of the must see what it is is in the word. The phonetics require the breath expulsion at the end. And that that breath expulsion is the real embodiment. So we think the way we speak English is totally different than the way that Aramaic, and a lot of other languages convey what they're trying to say in terms of there wasn't there wasn't a very large in terms of phonetics, but in terms of how it interacted, it was conveying something. That breath right? In Genesis, right God breathes According to the legend breathes life into the dirt, right? There's a breath whenever there's when you're first born, there's a breath, the last breath you take, there's something in this there's something that's alive. It's symbolized by breath. And so that energy which is in all of us, right, this is where we start to derail because the word goes to become a cya. And is supposed to be this thing, which shows he was in charge. And he was this. In my experience, anything that starts to go towards power and privilege and authority as a justification for its existence is kind of the beginning of the telltale sign that it's off of this. It's off the divine, because now you're just trying to control people now becomes Well, he's the Messiah. So now we have to follow him. Everyone else is toast. This is the only way right and that just leads to division. But this but the way that Alexander was explaining that in in Christianity first started to expand that what they would do is they would go find when they would go to different cultures different In areas and spread, they would see the Christ and it wasn't the person wasn't really even the thing either. It was this spirit within, it's this. It's this breath within all of us, right? That, oh, you have this story, you have this ritual, you go through these things like we do. It was more communal, like we know your story. We know that story, versus here's the right story. And we're gonna, we're gonna tell you to take the story you have now, you need to just erase all this stuff off the cave walls, get rid of all your traditions, know your culture, and just adopt this new way. That's just divide that's just conquering? Well, I Brandon Handley 30:32 mean, I think I think you said it in the beginning, right? We can look back over history. Look at all the books of wisdom. Look at all I mean, not even just the books wisdom, we can look at Joseph Campbell's, you know, the hero's journey, and we can outline just about anybody anything anywhere with that same story with the same fundamental, whatever's right. And it's timeless, right? These stories, these ways of being these thought patterns, there's all this stuff you've been saying like, hey, right now, we think this is the craziest it's ever gonna be or we're the most technologically advanced. So that must be guess what hasn't gotten an implant is your brain. Right? Your brain hasn't been upgraded? Just, you know, for sure. You know, probably in 2000 years, you haven't evolved that much as a human being. Right. So I love you brought that up. You know, the other thing you brought up too, is just kind of like the idea of you were saying I think resistance but as you grow, right, but the word I might throw out there's like resilience, you develop a resilience to as you grow, right? Is that kind of like what's your look like? Unknown Speaker 31:38 It's one of the it's one of the byproducts is certainly one of the things that this the second during tertiary aspects as you go through these kinds of things. You realize when you've been there before, like when the tree is getting bigger, it knows, hey, the storms come in. Last time, I didn't know anything about it got through. Okay. All right. So it doesn't mean it's gonna be easier. It just means that I know, my ability to kind of hold, stay steadfast, maybe greater, because I know, I know this, I know this song, I've done another stance, so that you know it like, like a book or like memorization, it's just you're familiar with it. So that familiarity, if you allow for it to come in, but also don't think that it means you know exactly what's gonna happen next, is this more of what is the essence of resilience? It's kind of come what may man if your lights go out or be okay, if it's flooded, we'll be okay. If it's a drought, we're gonna be okay. If it's a boon if we get a win the lottery, right? I'll be okay. Because that's not always guaranteed to be okay. Whether it's a clinical good or bad thing that you get, right? Well, I Brandon Handley 32:35 think that's the other thing you were talking about is this dualism aspect can explain dualism for somebody who's not familiar with it. So Unknown Speaker 32:41 dualism started. It's a nervous, Italian kind of byproduct from the Greek philosophers of kind of breaking things all the way down to their base level, in that we started to look at things from a polarity standpoint, if for everything, there's an opposite, right? That there's this idea that plus minus Yes, no good, bad. And that there's this, it's a tendency we have in ourselves to kind of limit the perspective of what we're looking at real in regards to a situation or something or how we measure it. And we can even see it when you see someone like technology around, you know, polarity, and stuff like that, in terms of electricity and things of that nature. And so there's this, there's this tendency, and there's also this human tendency to kind of break things down that simply. And the problem is we forget, as we break down the human being into like, Oh, it's just atoms or just protons, neutrons or protons and electrons, it's kind of it's, that's an atomic level kind of idea of right what we learn in school, there's plus and minus, and if there's more or minus than Plus, it's a negative charge. And if there's a positive charge over here, they come together, because positive opposites attract, and we kind of hear all this stuff. So we start to kind of really differentiate everything we think we know, in terms of what it is and what it could even be, is having one or the other. Right? And so then it becomes this, I mean, even think about it, if you just everyone takes a step back, look at the things that they look at that they were college rivalries, there's kind of one primary rivalry is always them versus us, or, you know, man and woman, or, you know, hate and love, just just emanates in everything that we do. And what's coincidentally is that the other person had this massive impact on me as a lady by the name of Janet Williams and Janet Williams wrote, she introduced on this other podcast called Nomad apophatic theology, and it's not even the right way to look at it. And what it tries to posit and there's a really, it's really hard to describe, because it doesn't have a description, but it does is a little bit what you're alluding to. It's both good and bad. It's both but it's neither. But it's so it's, it's like part of this is the idea of where you kind of go to with all this kind of introspect is around God. So God is all things that is in everything, but God has nothing God is both but God is neither. And then it's the idea that even if it how we think we can even understand and conceive certain things like the universe or even the divine did it's anyone that tells you they know God or what God is. It's not I don't mean this to be insulting, it's just I think it's it's this part of the journey of it. It's just going to be incomplete. And that even what we think it is, you have these experiences, I saw God or I felt God's presence. And I like what I talked about, and that we hold in those things become idols. And that the real idea behind telling people not to stay on the idols is even if that experience is with, like, if you're there, if you're Moses and God parts of the Red Sea and saves everything, and no brings the Red Sea down on the Egyptians, that's a pretty stellar experience. If it happens that way. You're Moses, you're thinking you can't get any higher, it can't get any better than this, right? This is the pinnacle of all that exists. There's a there's an element of that, that's, that that becomes an idol. No, I Brandon Handley 35:36 think i think i think that too. It's like we open it up with right, you're the vessel through which the universe God creation acts, right, with, when I start to say that this is me doing it, then then I start to I start to limit what is possible, right, I start to set up like all these blinders and everything else where whereas, you know, if I start to just say, hey, the The only reason any of this is happening is because of, you know, divine source flowing through me and, you know, helping guide me, right. So when you start to think that you're at the pinnacle of anything in your life, I mean, again, you you're starting to throw up a limit. This is just me, you know, kind of spitballing right, but you know, you start to, you start to put limitations on yourself. Unknown Speaker 36:21 Yeah. And it's, it's something that that goes into one of the things, there's eight fundamentals with these eight areas of what they call cognitive dissonance. And these eight biases, and one of them is called the errors of framing is this is this idea that you've that what you think you've known so far as to what frames everything? And what what creates the structure, it's out there that you, that's all there is, and there's not a possibility for something more. And part of the reason that he studies it is around innovation. So in terms of terms of actual innovation, both technically on a personal level, or anywhere else biases will keep you from seeing what could what could be possible. So that's one of those areas made me think of that is their idea of errors of framing, and part of it is like, does a fish know that it's in water? Or if it does, is it you know, it's good? It's kinda one of these things, if you don't know, what else is here, or you think that what is there is all there is, or you've been told, right? There's nothing else out there for you, Brandon, you'll never, you can never go past this city line, or you can never nothing that you can't go past this area. And it becomes a self limiting belief, because that's what you've been told. And it's part of that frame, then it's, if you don't trust it, it's not safe. You're not you're not risky, just for the sake of it. But don't don't limit, like I said, Don't limit the ability. And it's, you know, look, I can't be an opera singer, I know that. You can't, there has to be some reason this, this goes back into the balance of things around just from a pro beneficial effects to harmony. In those three questions. You know, if I sing, it's not gonna be harmonious, literally. But if I can connect with people on a personal level, work with them and go through life with them, there's, there's a human harmony that you can create as well. Right. Brandon Handley 37:49 Do me a favor, like, you know, so we're talking all this a lot, a lot of theory here a lot of just kind of inner work a lot of ways that we have felt what is something that you know, would would be some practical application to give somebody who's listening to some of what we've learned throughout this time? Unknown Speaker 38:06 I think the part that always catalyzes me, or is a catalyst for me is to take take an argument, take a subject, take a perspective, that is that, you know, is is fundamentally different from yours, as you can imagine, and go listen, purposely fine not to counter what I said about dualism, but it's more of the context around if I'm having a hard time, I just don't understand what drives didn't have to be something opposite or something you're against. It could just be I don't understand what drives what is the deal with, you know, well, hobby ism, and Islam. And what's the deal there? Why would that was that was what goes on bin Laden was if I remember correctly, that was part of his sector, what is the deal with name, your favorite subject, your name or area or something that challenges you that causes you or you at least has the potential to stern you and maybe it's anything you've said, I will never change my mind about that. I will, because I, I walked the earth and said, I would never walk into a church for any other reason than a funeral or a wedding. When I did, I'd want to leave just as fast as I got in there. And that was my way for a long time. But when you're when I had to take a step back and go look at this differently, like is this something that turmoil and again, it's going to create turmoil, but that's where the greatest opportunity is for growth doesn't mean you have to step all the way into it. But if you if you, if you just stay in the echo chamber, you just stay with the rhythm that you're used to, if you just stay in that pattern, you know, and you'll go out and branch out, especially if it's something that's different, or unique, or in that opposite, but just a different frequency than what you're used to. Then you never say that's why travel is so important. That's why and I don't just mean travel like Europe, or you know, some jungle in Asia. If you've never been to New Jersey, go to New Jersey, go to go to you know, Seattle, go to Chicago, go to Austin, Texas, you know, go to these places, big and small and just in feel no in if it's uncomfortable, right if it's and I get this way. I mean, I went with my wife this probably about a year ago. We went to there's a pride parade, gay pride parade here and we have some friends of ours and we went to church with them. They wanted to do the big free dad hugs and free mom hugs things. And we went and did that. And you talk about being out of your comfort zone. I mean, you know, look, I've never had an issue with it. I was in the Navy. I don't believe in any of that violence, or, you know, look, I don't understand it, like not even for for a moment. I can't relate. And I do think that's more of a detriment. I'll get to that in a second, if you want to talk about that. But I heard something in relation to that. Anyway, you talk about different man, you walk out, you go, and you walk up and down the streets of Houston, Texas, that are filled with people for Pride Parade, and you are, you know, you've never experienced that life or knowing about that world. It's going to challenge you, and a lot of ways and I think that discovered we tend to run away from it, if you can hold and you can stay steadfast. And yes, it may be uncomfortable, and it doesn't mean you're gonna like it at end of the day. But it will change you, I think it will change you in my experience. Rarely is it changing you for for the worse, for lack of a better word. Brandon Handley 40:53 That's a great story. I love that, you know, you kind of put yourself out there into a situation where you were uncomfortable, but apparently you must have saw, like, you know, some beauty in it right? You must have saw some benefit. And you may not you don't have to understand it in order to look, you don't have to believe it for it to be true. Right. And you don't have to understand it. To for to participate in it. So and I love that what you're saying here is, rarely do you put yourself into something like that, and opportunity for growth and it comes out poorly. Right. Right. That's awesome. So you know, where where were you, you know, we met and over here at come to the table podcasts, right? Is that something you're still running? Or if you're spinning into something new? Where can somebody get a little bit more? Sure, McCoy. Unknown Speaker 41:47 So right now I said a couple different things. So the podcasts that come to the table, I hit my 100th conversation, there was a number that popped in my head back in February. And then I used part of the pandemic to kind of get there and kind of round it off, I had to take a real hard look internally and realize it was more my journey than it was really doing it for the listener if I was going to be quite honest, gotcha. It was a sobering thing that I was kind of railing against the, the structure of like, I have to do all these things in a structured way. This kind of free flowing stream of consciousness consciousness kind of thing, just I just saw it, it filled me with 100 stories of people, plus all the other ones, all the other stuff, it just, it was just a chorus of, of the mercy of life of Breath of just everything. So it's in it continues to have a significant impact on my life. Today's the fruit, if you will, continues to be born. This is a good example. But I also realized that I needed to it kind of run its course and there's some other stuff that was coming. I got a friend of mine who's gonna show real quick before we jump on to the next piece Brandon Handley 42:45 talk about that, because that can be a real challenge. For some people, it sounds to me like you found a pivot point. Or you found a point where it's just like, Alright, this, this is filled its role in my life, right? Because you got a lot of people that are like, Oh, you got a, you got to see it to the end. And or maybe I'll tell you, I had a big I had a big problem with, um, when I stopped doing father for the rest of us, right? Because I had attached my identity to that, right. And I was like, oh, man, I've built this community. I've done this and what do I do? And you know, it was tough to break away from that. So talk a little bit about that right, first first occurs to start it up, and then the curse the stop it. Unknown Speaker 43:19 Yeah, I think it's definitely much harder to stop it. I mean, it's, it's when you dive in, you're naive in a way, you're not sure what's going on. But when I think you're realizing that it's time to walk away, and it's not. Yeah, you don't like it necessarily. I mean, I didn't really like it. And like you said, you put so much into it, you put heart and soul and you're wanting things and just the amazing conversations of people that you've come across. If we just take the time, I didn't have anybody famous in my pockets ever. But I would tell anybody 100 times out of 100 go listen to Brad spot bill this, there's wisdom in his words back then even and I think the other part that makes podcasting so amazing, which may make it a little easier to walk away from sometimes they're all still out there for people to discover. And people will and this is where I just trust a spirit and divine will bring people to the point where they can listen to something based on when it's necessary when it can serve them and help them but also realize that I could do a better job of setting the table, if you will. And also he also needed a little bit of you got to get some time. Give yourself some time to decompress, and some time to process that kind of stuff. Yeah, it's like drinking from a firehose you're doing one episode a week, hours and hours and hours editing and, you know, it's it's like drinking from a firehose and sometimes you ventually got to turn it off for a little bit. Yeah, Brandon Handley 44:32 absolutely. Absolutely. I know that a I forgotten how much effort it is to really be involved in it. Right. Dylan? This is taken a considerable amount of effort. I'm loving it, and I'm enjoying it, but uh, I did forget for a minute, just how much time can can be involved with it. Okay, so then you're looking at this I mean, if I understand correctly, too, then you're looking towards a new new space. Is that right? Unknown Speaker 44:53 So yeah, so one to two areas. One actually got hired professionally to host a podcast and oil and gas talking about The environmental, social and governance issues within the industry is I'm currently working on that I have a co host with me, it's like a true show like there's developed, it's, it's really, really coordinated, complete opposite of what the other one was. I mean, it's very structured, has conversation, but it's got three parts. It's it's like a chorus. I mean, it's there's a lot to put together. That is one of my guests is a political theologian, Steven Backhouse, who was instrumental in my kind of my deconstruction around nationalism, which is a whole nother part of the story. But he reached out to myself and another guy that we know to help him start this podcast called 10th theology. And it's just about renewing the renewing the political imagination or renewing the imagination, just as somebody who's a follower of the way, they're not even a Christian, it's this get to where you know, you're your lead, or you're following this way versus it, the big crux of it, just to kind of put it out there is also around the fundamental what we call fundamental evangelical Christians that are kind of dominating the conservative politics, the United States, it seems to be kind of almost like that. Everybody's assumption is if you're a Christian, I mean, I'm a white 46 year old Christian, technically from Texas, right. So I was like, Okay, well, then you must vote for you must have to vote for Donald Trump. You gay. I Brandon Handley 46:08 mean, you gotta be Republican. Right? You Unknown Speaker 46:10 can't you hate gays, you Although run the whole gamut. And oh, my gosh, there's a lot of people that are like waving the flags going, please don't do that. Please don't do that. Sure. Yeah. And so it's challenging that narrative, as well as the internal narratives that we have. Because it's not like, again, it's not. This is where dualism comes into it. The answer isn't for the Republican Party to go away. The answer isn't for you, angelical Christians to go jump in a lake? The answer isn't for liberals to die or liberals. It's just not right. It's not an answer. Right. Have you seen this historically? I mean, you find me a place where there's where you eliminate all certain ethnicity, type, gender, religion, whatever. Show me where an elimination of that has led to prosperity? Yeah, Brandon Handley 46:52 I don't think elimination does it acceptance, does it? Well, man. Look, I always enjoy our conversation. I'm sure we could chat about quite a few other things. But you know, what would like one parting piece before you today to leave everybody with Unknown Speaker 47:08 you? I know you like to ask them. When did you become first aware of yourself? Brandon Handley 47:11 Yeah, that's a good one. Sure. Unknown Speaker 47:13 I was about six years old, I was going down the street called Murphy road in Missouri city, right outside of Houston, I can almost take you specifically toward that spot was and I remember, I just kept saying to myself as a very young person, who am I who am I, me, me, me. And I found myself kind of this understanding of your own consciousness, your understanding of your own self around what that means. And I do think there's an is a very young person, absolutely ill equipped, and had no support structure to help me process that. And so I kind of put that voice to bed for a while. And it's been a long time. kind of let it out a little bit. I think in the shower, that one day, it's always there. But you're kind of letting the world the voice win. And be domineering. And I think I would just encourage people to listen to that voice in their head that they've had in it those things that they think are cuckoo, or the things that they think are surely this is not something's wrong, you know, I mean, if it if it starts to become part of an inner journey of awareness, yeah, it's again, it's scary, and it's Rocky and it becomes really, really weird Twilight Zone music kind of stuff. But I think that's, that's the point. That's one of the areas that we're supposed to is that realization of self are and what it is, I think those that allows for us to embrace all these other things we hear about whether it's giving of oneself or its community, or how do we sit at a table truly with somebody because we say all this stuff, like it's easy, but when you're actually sitting there with somebody and they're looking at you going, No, Brandon, I can't stand x kind of people because they're all this or it you know, those that what about what about what about this? The biggest argument what what do you do about something breaks in your house? What about this? What about rapists? What about what about all the hundreds of the border that disappeared? You know, two years ago that somehow didn't you're only there for a little bit? Or? What if What if the democrats win the election? What are you gonna do about that? Right, because you're just, you always have an argument to put that but that voice away, right, not listen to it, and then not embrace it. I would just encourage people to do so even if it's crazy, even feels odd and weird, and it's not gonna be like the movies. Yeah, it's Brandon Handley 49:14 not gonna be like the movies. It's not gonna be like the movies. Well, Sean, thank you so much for partnering with that one, too. And like you said, right, to become aware at such a young age and not have the system support for that. That's look man that's that's that's where I found myself at 40 right so becoming aware and maybe you know, to your point like maybe re becoming re aware I don't know right? reborn right type of thing and, and recognizing it and instead of shoving it away like this is the moment now to accept that that is who you are, right framework or not, but this again, this podcast, you know, check out, come to the table podcast and look for places where what you're actually Experiencing fits a framework. I actually, again, this is something I said last week on a podcast that I put out there. I wasn't. I don't know if that's true for you or not. I wasn't out there consuming all this information looking to have the experience. I had the experience and then I had to go look for the information so that I could understand it. Yes. So thank you so much, man. Appreciate you for being on today. Unknown Speaker 50:23 Man. I appreciate what you're doing. Keep it Keep up the good work and you keep it going, brother.

Talking gravel tires this week with Jan Heine of Rene Herse Cycles. Drawing on decades of experience and very specific testing, Jan walk us through all the tire considerations from size to pressure to knob patterns. This episode is a must-listen for any gravel cyclist.  Episode sponsor:  PNW Components (use code 'thegravelride' for 15% off) Support the podcast Rene Herse Cycles Website Rene Herse Cycles Instagram Rene Herse Cycles - Jan Heine takes us on a gravel tire deep dive 00:00:00 - 00:05:00 Hello and welcome to another edition of the gravel ride podcast. I'm your host Craig. Dalton. This week's episode is brought to you our friends at P. N. W. Components. I got to sit down with Erin Kershaw and one of the CO founders of peon w a couple episodes ago, and it was great to learn the back story of the company I've always been impressed as a customer from way back when as. To their customer service and I've been even more impressed by their products. I spoke a little bit more about the coast handlebar. I've been riding a few episodes ago but I wanted to add on the coast dropper post the suspended version. That's right. Not only am I in the dropper camp but I'm writing suspended post and I've been really excited about how it's been performing. I've had a bit of a bad. And while I keep the pressure quite high because I don't want a lot of movement in it when it does move I realized that I've probably taken a pretty substantial hit on the back of my bike, and this is really saving my body. I'm a big advocate of configuring your bike to support you for longer and longer journeys and I think taking the edge off really. Falls into that camp. So I've been super jazzed by the coast dropper suspended post. So head on over to pin W components, dot com, and check out the product line that they're offering and see if anything they're offering helps you get where you need to go with your current bike set-up gravel ride listeners can use the code the gravel ride for fifteen percent off their order. So guys you to click in and grab those handlebars because we're on for an awesome ride today. got. Yon. Haina from Rene air cycles coming to talk to us about tires. I don't think there's a single episode IV recorded that I've learned more than in this conversation with John It. All kicked off in episode for of in the dirt where we discussed an article yon had posted on the Rene our website blog entitled wise seven hundred c wheels don't roll faster Randall and I, both had our own takes on the article but suffice it to say it was extremely thought provoking I got a ton of emails and a ton. Of comments on facebook about our conclusions and it was a natural place for me to go to talk to Yon and say, Hey, why don't you come on the podcast and talk us through all the different things that went into that blog post and all the different things you've kind of accumulated in terms of tire knowledge over the last decade, we touch on rim sizes we talk about tire casings we talk about tire tread patterns, and we talk about tire inflation I'm going to warn you. I think this is one of those. Ads that you might need to listen to more than once in order to take it all in I know for me tires of been this journey of understanding and nailing down my tire pressure numbers has been something I've played around a ton with to try to get the personality of the bike that I'm looking for as Yon Concludes the conversation he highlights something I believe as well that the. Tire and wheel combination is very unique and important area of any gravel rig and it can dramatically change the performance personality and characteristics of your ride. So it's something don't be afraid to play around with try things that are radically different, try higher and lower tire pressures to figure out what the sweet spot is. Well, that's probably enough preamble. Let's dive right into this week's episode. Welcome to the show. Hi. Thank you for having me. I'm excited to talk to you too. DAD LOVES TO START OFF BY JUST getting a little bit about your background as a cyclist before we jump into learning a little bit more about your. Company. G. Yeah. Since liking on my life pretty much I grew up in Germany and there were eye I lived on the very popular route for for braces to train. So every weekend, there were these groups of five, six, seven people on the beautiful bikes you know flying by the House and it just seems so so we're learning. Mountain racing inside the racing, but they'll also. Always was thinking about what sort of behind the horizon always wanted to explore for the so Back in Germany I rode to visit friends all over Germany on weekends sort of taking off You know after after Joshua's in college and writing all day and You know exploring new places and that. So from that became yeah. The the long distance is just so appealing to see how far you could go and what you could see. 00:05:02 - 00:10:03 Amazing and that eventually transition to you becoming professional in the bike industry. How did that come about and? Rene was not your first company. I know the brand predates all of us. Yeah so What happened? Here in in in Washington we We have only limited on the roads because it's the mountains and valleys. We have some really really beautiful roads, but there's more and more traffic and we started wondering about the lines on the map that we had seen that Nobody was overwriting on we found these gravel roads and we. Started, exploring them and part of it was the bikes that we had back. Then we're not so useful for that. I started out with a touring bike with specialized try cross knobby tires thirty five millimeter seems huge at the time when we were racing on nineteen on the road. But. It wasn't quite the same feeling as writing on the road. The bike didn't perform the same tires to perform the same. It's we didn't have that. Feeling of almost effortless. You know gliding along that. They enjoyed so much. So the where if you fall starts starts and we finally realize that we need to. Basically racing bike for gravel. And the touring bike nothing bike and renita racing tires for gravel. And that was a consequence through the interest in long distance cycling random during I had done pears pairs. Famous, right. In France, one of the oldest bike races that became an amateur events at seven hundred, fifty miles. And has a long history and all the old riders and racers and Randall nurse. Telling me about these wonderful handmade made tires that they had the nineteen forty that rolled so fast and there were you know thirty five or even forty two movies as wide and. And nothing like that anymore and what a shame. So we started looking into making stuff like that. Again, I imported some very obscure tires from Japan called Mitsubushi Trim lines that We're very good start but we realized that could be improved and we started testing different tires figured out. What makes it? Realize that high pressure weren't necessary to roll past this time when we all wrote that like one, hundred, twenty, five years AJana twenty millimeter tires and we something realize that that's actually was slower than eighty PSI and the twenty millimeters what's lower than twenty five and that sort of set in motion. The whole revolution we publish the findings we talked to some guys were advising professional teams, and then suddenly you saw Servando and others experimenting with Wider Tyres, they went from twenty three to twenty five pressure's lower that was on the road side but we really want to do the gravel, and so you know twenty five didn't do it back. Then even the we called gravel grinders where twenty eight millimeter tires which is. We laugh about it. Now that we were riding other people were writing eighty PSI twenty, twenty, eight millimeter tires on gravel and. So we were you know we looked into the forty two we looked into the smaller wheeled sixty and all that. and. All those roads sort of led to to the trench spikes because back then in the mountains of the Alps. In France of course, most roads were gravel. So they didn't think of gravel writing. There was this writing and if she wants to do go up the DA or something like that you went on Garoppolo growth. And so the bikes without existed and there were quite sophisticated because. The, how to say the technology hasn't changed that much apart from carbon titanium but otherwise. Human bodies. Sort of are still the same now where fifty eight years ago. and the technology was really well developed by nineteen thirty. And filter pretty quickly down to bicycles like and that's where renting come in who was an airplane builder who worked on prototype aircraft. including the first thing to fly across the Atlantic compares to New York which. A few years after Charles. Lindbergh. But was against the win. So it was a lot harder. They took thirty six hours of non of flying and. Anyway the reindeer started making bikes because he was an avid cyclist and Vice. Where sort of the gravel bikes that we need with the big tires very lightweight basically racing bikes for gravel road, racing bikes, fenders, and racks for bringing a few things lights who riding at night. But still high-performance bikes touring bikes ranks. That's sort of opened our eyes of what was audible. 00:10:04 - 00:15:02 That's an amazing origin story. Can I ask you to describe sort of random nearing as a aspect of the sport because I think some of my listeners imagine many of them aren't familiar with what that term actually refers to. Well. Originally, it's a French term that basically just made heike and it was. Transferred, to bicycle. As going long distances on the bike Really you know high pay and the light load. So not carrying a tent and you know your kitchen sink but carrying a small bag and. Yeah. Pushing the boundaries software you could go there was Oregon the Nineties magazine Sevilla's you put all the challenge for hours. How far can you get in forty hours and all these reader it's and said, I went to the mall to from Leon back and all kinds of adventures. So it's sort of took off from there. It's really interesting to me looking at it because I clearly, it's the same. Spirit as what we associate with growl riding today and in many ways even more. So with these multi-day, super long events that Renner's tend towards. Yeah I mean it's really you know now we have a lot of them gravel tour divide. So mountain race things like that are are sort of going back to the roots of cycling of exploring places that we usually don't go and so on. So, and rendering became a little more established. They organize these events two, hundred, three, hundred, four, hundred, six, hundred, and one, thousand, two, hundred kilometer they called pervades, which means basically you get the diploma you have passed the test or something and how it works is the you check in at certain points to show that you've completed the whole course you get your card stamped and often it's a convenience stores you just you know get the receipt or something. And at the end, you can get the medal So that's the institutional part of the sport and it's also great fun. But more often we just had thousand miles is because we wanted to see where we can go. Once we set ourselves a challenge going from Seattle to the highest roads on Mount Saint Helen then to the highest roads on Mount Rainier and back in twenty four hours. So that was really fun project we finished with twelve minutes to spare and But one of the greatest memories. Of Riding Bikes in the cascade that I think there's a lot of stories out there for people who are interested in understanding Randy nearing a little bit more. It's it's seems like an amazing side of the sport and just a unique way of challenging yourself that doesn't involve necessarily pinning a number on it. It's from listening to you. It seems like it's really about. The adventure and setting a challenge to lower what your world around you. Yeah. Absolutely I mean the one thing that I really enjoy about random dorien. It's much more about teamwork because. I recorded, but it's not there's no winner. So first of all, just the fastest if you're the fastest, but you aren't any better than the others, but taking the for group of people comes in together the times the only report it to the minutes. So there's no sprint. Yeah. You know when I was racing was always you in the breakaway with three other guys and you're working well together and just sort of this feeling of almost loved like everybody's doing their part you're. Does Well oiled machine of of a baseline rotating, and then suddenly they signed a two one kilometer and you turn into end, you need to think about how can I out smart the other guys how can out sprint them and deep down I was always feeling like well, the other guys deserve to win just as much as I do but that's not how you racist. So rendering sort of allows that where you all across the finish line together and you know you like. Related and you did yeah and one of the four that I won other three say I'll shoot you know I should have. Stars in my sprint a little sooner or puts a little more into it or not taking that many pools earlier or stuff like that. You know they're no regret. Yeah and. That's the way I know I feel in the middle of pack of a gravel racism I'm happy to have completed the event and I really love that whether it's the first person in line or the last person at the end of the race. We all had that similar experience. We can enjoy ourselves talking about the roads we just conquered in the trails we just concord. That's really why grabble rating has taken off so much I mean gravel itself I find fascinating because the bike has a little more freedom to move around. So you can play with the bike into the more vs on the roads where if you break traction usually you go down. 00:15:02 - 00:20:11 So it's it's more prescriptive on the broke whereas on gravel. If you go to fast, you get the big slide and he said, well, I should call them slower next time And but I think the main thing is the competition is this but it's much more friendly. It's much more. You know nobody said, well, I can eighty nine I'm better than you because you came only ninety. Yeah absolutely. My brief foray into the sport of triathlon I distinctly remember sort of people wanting to race me for four hundred place at Ironman not even that probably way back of the pack, but you know what? I don't in a gravel race I don't look at the guy next to me on a climate and think, oh, I need to beat you up this climb i. kind of look at him or her and say to myself. We're in a beautiful place we're exploring. We're having an adventure sure and much like mountain biking when you have those skit out moments in a gravel event and your heart races, it's just fun. It's part of the overall experience you kind of pushing the bike and your body to its limits. Absolutely, so let's talk a little bit about tires for the listener. Tie creating tire is a difficult and expensive process. Can you just give us the high notes because I know between like creating a mold and selecting the rubber compound? There's a lot of. Design decisions that go into and expense to get to the tires we see in the market today. Yeah I mean there definitely is I think the biggest revolution was realizing that high pressure aren't necessarily because before you had A. Big Tradeoff and this more now, just about the about the basics of tires. where you could either make a wide tire that was supple and you know how to say like a racing tire, but it hasn't really pressures because as the title gets wider the. The case gets a lot more stress. So you can have a narrow high pressure tires. You can have wide tires that either has low pressure or had to be really stiff to withstand the high pressure. Since we all thought that low pressure were slow high-pressure passed. It was really no way of making a high performance tire because. In with an tired, you make a really supple tire like hand May. And you can still inflate the two hundred and thirty PSI because it's so narrow the forces on. So small. But it was the why has the choice of either the touring Kinda tire that was reinforced everywhere, and you could run that say hundred PSI or you could make a hypothetical racing tire forty, two, million whiz but with only take sixty I or something like that and then sixty. PSI. That's GONNA be so slow and sluggish. So nobody even tried. I think the the revolution came when we realized that the higher precious make the bike vibrate faster. So it's fueled faster to lot of writers. Because you know vibration frequency either changes because of the tire pressure or because of you speed if you're going twice the speed, your bike hits all these little capitals on the road twice as quickly, and so the vibration has also doubled. So there's a sort of Prosieben you pump up your tires harder and faster, but it actually isn't it's we measured that on real roads with real right or power meters, roll down all kinds of different. Methods to make sure that that are results really weren't just flukes. statistical analysis all that stuff I want to into that too much. We realized that it's really not true. You can let out as much air as you want almost until the tire so that it becomes almost undrivable and only roughly at that point, it does get slow. Tell you flat tires really slow but there's no need for a hundred and thirty. Even with Racing Geyer and you know now we all say, well, of course, we know that but that was quite revolutionary. What's fifteen years ago or so and so that's realize those tires I mentioned earlier that the old French guys we're talking about really it works you make a racing tire that forty two millimeters wide you only inflate the to. Forty, or fifty PSI, and do all the stuff that you do on the twenty three millimeter racing i. Yes definitely it's definitely one of those things I tell you time and time again, I, speak to you athletes who are coming from the road side of the world and they are absolutely gobsmack. Them, you know I'm running on my six fifty be forty-sevens you know under thirty Psi they they absolutely cannot believe it. Yeah, and you know what's happening is actually physically it's quite interesting and easy to understand There's two ways the tire causes resistance. Wonder if the tire flexes, it's sort of like when you squeeze a tennis ball, how you hand gets tired because you know at the bottom, of course, the tire deforms and the more it deforms the more energy is absorbed, but also the harder it is the more energy as a source else squishing marsh mental doesn't take much for swishing tennis balls much harder because sensible, it's sorta hard. 00:20:14 - 00:25:02 And from that perspective, it would make sense to run higher pressures because less defamation means that energy absorption do one however the tire that's as supple as possible because again, for the same deformation he wants to use as. Possible. What people had overlooked in the past was that there's another way of absorbing energy and does sport. We called the suspension losses one week what is called the suspension losses? It was the US Army's that secret this way back in the sixties when they test the tanks used for some really lightweight for top secrets vehicle and they found that if the vibe the too much the rider's body absorb a lot of energy. It's sort of like you drop a beanbag on the ground and it doesn't bounce up because all the energy. Of the of the drop has been absorbed by friction between the that'll beans inside. And the human body is very good that absorbing energy to so she by vibrates. You slow down just because energy is lost it's sort of the discomfort that you feel you can. Even if you're rising really rough roads, you can feel your body gets warm So it's a huge amount of energy loss the. Two Thousand Watts know you and I know there's no professional sprinter who can put up two thousand watts. So in theory, you could absorb all your peddling energy on through those suspension losses and you can feel that if you go from the smooth wrote to a restaurant, how much you slow down? Even though. You know it's still a flat road there. There's no more wintry this than the tired deforms a little more but of that goes into the suspension bosses. And so of course. The Nest of vibrates? Let's ascension office you have. Which means? You're gaining again what you lost because the tire more with lower pressures. So with high pressures, tire states colds there's no energy loss, the tire, but your body gets warm. You're uncomfortable you lose all the energy there with low pressure. You don't do any energy in your body. You'll lose a little more tire, but the net result is the same so you know if I play my tires to the Max pressure or to. Something much more reasonable as. Really. No. Bearing on how fast the world on the smooth wrote. It's such an interesting equation and it comes up. So often in gravel cycling I, find because you definitely have to balance what your body is receiving as an input along with the efficiency of the bicycle that you're on. So. Yeah. What's interesting on gravel is that actually equation turns in favor of the low pressures. Because there's so much regulation that running lower prices just simply more Christians I think that well, we did this we ran on rumble strips that you have on the sides of highway because gravel it sort of not uniform were for scientific experiments you want something that's more replicable. So, we wrote on the smooth pavements. Nixed to the rumble strip on the brand new roads, and then we rolled over the rumble strip where the power meter and it was quite interesting. First of all, of course, how much harder I I was the experiment because everybody else refuse to write twenty miles rumble strips. I can tell you it eats up especially back then because we're on twenty eight goonies attire but on the rumble strips lower pressure was so much faster as you can imagine I mean. So you know running a forty two millimeter and thirty PSI versus sixty PSI on the rumble strips. The sixty PSI was waste law yet. That's so interesting. I also noted on your site, which is unique for tire manufacturer. The you've got four different casing options. Can you talk through kind of what those translate to for the writer? Yeah. I mean really what testing found and I guess what pro reads known forever is the only thing that really matters and making attire fast is the case thing how much energy is absorbed the marshmallow versus the tennis ball versus I don't know what maybe even something even harder and so It's always of course, the tradeoff you can make a super super fast casing. But but it's very fragile because it's paper send it. Doesn't you know doesn't withstand the rigors of real rose then also gets quite expensive. We talked about Kiai the finer the threads are the the more suppled vacationing gets the fastest. It's also the easier it becomes to cut unfortunately because you know fine threads, you can't cut one by. 00:25:03 - 00:30:10 Did. You ever think thread. Resist that there. So Really, the logical way of thinking about tires casings. So the trade pattern especially when gravel, it doesn't make that big of a difference because you're sliding rocks US sliding on rocks anyway. You're just pushing stuff around. So it's not really how much traction you have on the playoff gravel. It's more how much rocks have months each other so what you really you? Sing on my microphone. Became talk here got what you really want in the in to think about your tires, which cases you want to run. And in our case, we have four one this the extra light, which is sort of the. Top embracing casing that the. Is Actually not as fragile as love. The people think because one of the advantage with the white tires we have is that they run at such low precious they become a charter to cut. as you come out I mean you ever tired two hundred twenty Psi you right over something the only place that has to go into the tire and the tire can't before him around it. Whereas if you're right over, you know glass with a bike five PSI. Nothing's GonNa cut that tie. It's like PSI accept a really big nail or something because I just deforms around around the the obstacles. So you know even with a forty eight millimeter tire. At say twenty, five pm you have a lot fewer flats than you would with a narrow tire even with the same casing the same about the sidewalk cuts again, if the sidewall can can deflect than get cut you know it's much less fragile. but still you know you are in the gravel race, you're the Peleton you don't see where you're going I will ride the extra vacation. Okay. So for that, we also have a standard casing, which is mostly a more economical option. The threads are a little wider thicker. It's a little stronger. Of course, it's a little slower. It's a little less comfortable. but that's sort of the the he was called the standard case and that's the one we started out with before. We really pushed the envelope with the extra night. We have reinforced casing, which is the fine threads of the extra light, but with a picture and cuts proof layer underneath both the side walls and the tread. So that sort of our goto gravel, a racing tire because it's just a lot more punter country this and. Then, we have the endurance plus which is for. It King. Thirty can you know where basically just the rocks are really rough. Speeds are really high it's stuff. The people don't see where they're going. They just hit stuff right next and. It's sort of yeah. Let's say carnage but but you know that's that's sort of even stronger tire with a stronger puncture resistant layer. It's still remarkably fast because we say high end materials but it's it's definitely pushing toward. Toward the durability is the I would say outside the down the mountain bike world is one of the strongest is you can find your I think when anybody talks about the dirty cans, of course, they always talk about sidewall cuts as being the you never one risk factor. The and you know especially in the race I mean if I'm renting for example where my absolute time is the goal. If I have a tire that saved me hour over say two hundred ride and I have one slack. I can fix that in less than an hour. There's sort of by trade off. The race and I mean the front group. If I'm ten seconds duck, I'm already dropped I'm never gonna see those guys again. And so the calculation becomes quite different. It's orpheum game theory sort of analysis where in racing. The how to say the risk of getting draft is made concern but not your absolute time. Yeah and I think that calculation is something that a lot of athletes tend to make some errors in in thinking that they are in the front end of the race meaning they are the King Group. Versus. You know being realistic and saying, where where am I going to better serve myself going back to are taking care of your body part of the equation. You're much better to take care of your body and go faster than set up really hard bike and hard tire setup that's not going to serve your body well. The funny thing is it's not koster either you know the the idea from road racing in the old days. Especially, if I can suffer I'll be faster because I run narrow tires run higher pressures been drawn and you seen pro racing. You know now the Tour de France was going on, you don't see anybody on twenty million tires anymore even twenty three don't exist anymore it's all twenty five people run twenty, eight nobody's at one hundred thirty PSI anymore because what we found is because of those vibration losses, the suspension losses. 00:30:11 - 00:35:08 Suffering doesn't make you faster actually comfort is faster because if you look vibrating, you are not losing energy it's sort of the same as you look at the off road racing truck for the Baja raised or something they have huge tires that have suspension and it's not because they want to be comfortable for the driver. It's they wanted to get the speed you know and. It's the same thing for us. Oh, you know people always say this too much higher for that event and really. That question doesn't exist. You Never GonNa be South on the twenty eighth than on the thirty five even on pavement but much less on gravel and a forty two is going to be faster than the thirty five and forty eight will be even. Yeah. You're. GonNa say I was interviewing Ted King think of his last year or maybe even the year before he had made a comment saying he's never regretted going wider on his tire. Although it took some convincing him when we came out with with white tires. Yeah, because you know I mean there is of course, one of the equation and that is as a racer if you are the strongest race or And you have the same equipment that everybody else you're GONNA win. and. So as long as you feel that you're stronger than the other guy's using different equipment from the other guys carries the risk because we sometimes don't know everything like you know the current signed says the current sites signs ten years ago said or fifteen years ago. So that should run twenty millimeter tires the hundred and thirty five, and I can tell you those things are way slower than twenty five. I mean it's like completely easy to measure. We don't have to do a huge amount of of of of measuring. And so if but if everybody's on the twenty, one, hundred, thirty PSI is. The stronger guy wins and every race or of course at the field they're stronger otherwise they wouldn't show at the start line. So it's very rare. You know the fake fame Greg Lemond Arab our story where he was so far behind he had nothing to lose and no the only hope of winning what to get some sort of equipment advantage but that's extremely rare usually. You know you don't want to make a mistake and so if you do what everybody else does. It sort of the same thing to do and it makes perfect sense for racer. Yeah. That's an interesting. That's an interesting comment. I think it's at the conclusion of your article Wi- seven hundred don't roll faster that. Ted has been exploring and using six fifty and a lot of his adventure ridings but he's still racing on seven hundred C and it sounded like at the end of that article and you you had just said this that you know it's the safe choice for him. Yeah and you know it's just like. How to say signs always changes so. how to say it's sort of like even medical science. You don't take medication I miss you are you're sick you know because then you say, well, what do I have to lose? Greg Lemond or even the guy like me you know, I need every advantage I can get. So I'M GONNA run the white tires and the casing and all those things. I mean, I'm not gonNA stay with Ted King I can tell you that. But at least you know I can I can maybe stay with the group that otherwise couldn't stay with. But if you're the guy who wins anyway. By Gosh look on the run any risks? Yup. So one of the things that is a constant source of debate around the gravel community is obviously seven hundred versus six, fifty be and I don't think it. So much as a debate, it's more around what tire with your bike can accommodate. Right. So as as option in the article. Go Ahead I think that's actually the biggest constraint with tires is not that wide slower. At some point, you get to the point where you can build a performance bike anymore. Right and you know you look at the mountain bike on is slower than the gravel bike because it goes wider cranes because there's all kinds of constraints and then you look at the path bike that's really slow and the main reason it's slow is just you can't peddle it efficiently because the cranks are too wide and it's all about bio mechanics. and. So from that perspective, your the real problem is, what can we fit into a bike and still make it? Be a racing bike. Right. Yeah, I think I'm guilty for sort of leaning into the six fifty versus seven hundred. But as I analyze my thoughts, it's really about the width of the tire more. So than a care, one way or the other about seven, hundred, sixty, six, fifty b because as you've you've said in the article like the, it's very small differences in size at the end of the day particularly, it's often made up by the tire volume itself. 00:35:09 - 00:40:05 Yeah I mean definitely, yours interested about forty eight has the same outer diameter as a seven, hundred, twenty eight. So you know it's not and if big O. Tires really role better than you should put the tires or bigger wheels, you should put the biggest hires on because you know you can gain you get another few million. But it's always it was A. Rate, the bicycles thinker and scientists Jim Popadopoulos who said sites always very good at identifying potentially important variables and then arguing over meaningless differences. Just, like we talk about a pardon bracket high side millimeters lower makes the bike handle better, and then you look at where you sent gravity is it's about three feet off the ground and you know lowering that by five millimeters if you can't feel that. I want to see it. You know, and so I think we the tendency clearly i. mean it makes sense if you run a twelve inch wheel or something like that, it's going to be slower no doubt about it. But like you're saying between six, sixty, seven, hundred teeth, the difference is small and the other thing people. Think about either is that the tire isn't brown it stopped at the Boston. So most of the vibration gets absorbed into the bike doesn't have to get lifted over all these little box like you know like an old carriage did and don't care when you look at the stage coach from the rest of that huge wheels. Of course, the roads were really rough but The main reason is that if you need to lift the whole the whole vehicle, you know the whole bike, the whole carrots over those bumps speaker, we'll do work better. But ONCE YOU HAVE AIR YOU'RE TIRED You're sort of. Say. It's almost like the cat ATTRAC- where the Boston slopped, right? Yeah. It's interesting and you've got some great hand-drawn they look. Diagrams in that article on your blog. So I encourage listeners to go over to the site and I can link to it and our our show notes. I wanted to go back to a comment. You made about the tread patterns because I've been exploring. It seems like less and less tread on my gravel tires even though I tend to ride pretty aggressive terrain in. Marin. County can you go back to your comment about tread patterns and how you guys think about it? Yeah I mean we started out with road tires because that's all we have and You know we rewrote the some Nabis and song really found that there was very little difference on gravel because as said what happens is you're pushing around gravel sliding you're not. You know on the road what happens is they asshole doesn't move your tire slips on the asphalt. So kids even more drips you can get between asphalt entire the less likely you're gonNA slipped but on gravel that's not really a problem you're sort of tires digging into the ground anyway, and then just push. The gravel because usually the gravel is news and easy to to move so. That's what's happening and so tired I can't really help you there because you're balk sliding on box and the tired doesn't even touch the parts that. That, the sliding. So are your are. It looks like you're knob pattern is quite similar between like Juniper Ridge and a Pumpkin Ridge. So you've got that in one category and then you essentially have a slick tire as the other category of of tire that you offer. Yeah. Well, basically, what we found is there's to use. The two scenarios. One is where you can make a print footprint in the in the soil, but say it's news. Loose soil usually my I mean I'm coming from the sites across background and they of course, you need because because the just slips on the on the top layer of the deep you can dig in the mud, the better the the attraction you get. And So basically, I would say the the simple rule that if you can new tire tracks really making making little holes in the ground. Then then tread does make a difference. unless it's really new sand where really again uses pushing around San. You know there's there's not much that helps when you look at the Dune Buggy doesn't have a very aggressive tread. It's just the biggest tires they can fit on the on the Volkswagen Beetle Chassis or whatever they're using these right so. Yeah, they think there's two ways of thinking about about our tire treads. One is is basically a row tire which is optimized fast. Fox and you owned one to real slick tire for the assault because there needs to be a little bit Off Linking between the road surface ends the tire. 00:40:05 - 00:45:12 That's also why roads are never totally smooth when you talk to role billed as they say, yeah, we could make perfectly smooth asphalt, but the braking distances would just be too great. So they they always have some some roughness building and the tire that can interlock with a brusqueness gives you attraction especially in the wet I mean when you think about it the Coefficient of friction is about how when the roses wet but you and I know that we can go faster than the speed on the wet road than the driver then this it's already or something but. and that's because they that interlocking between higher and you always get some of it's because the rubber is is, is of course flexible. But if you have little ribs like traditional racing tires you get more of it and I think the traditional racing tires had because the rubber compounds way back where not very good and especially in the wet day they didn't drip. So they need to get every help. They could they got these these trips hazards but even with today's rubber compounds which are much better it's surprising. How much more group you get with a really really good tread on asphalt in the West especially. Smelling gravel I would say on loose gravel it doesn't that you can write anything because you're pushing around rocks and gravel and and that's it. It's a little different on dirt and so it depends on what you gravel looks like I think you're and by gravel look somewhat similar in Seattle in the cascades in Marin County, it's pretty new stuff. I would say Thai attract doesn't help you a lot in most cases unless it gets muddy or snowy or something I think going east like Vermont and so it's a little different there. It's more more soil and dirt on those roads and there you can get better traction with the Nabis and so we developed the knobby at first of all that I took cross but you know all so. for for for those conditions And then of course was always frustrating to me. Is I run these wonderful you know handmaid's be Nabis. Tiny knobs that spread really widely and on mud. It's amazing how well they grip but each across rates has a little bit of pavement an unjust like the knobs are folding over and I can be pedaling just waiting until I get back on the mud. So I can put down power again I thought this is ridiculous. I. Should make speed on the on the pavements and so the question we had was, can you make a Nabi that? Works well. and well in the mud. The past we've had these sort of center ridge kind of knobby tires that really too many dogs to work in the mud because they you know to roll smoothly they put more and more knobs on the. But then clogs up with mud and doesn't care itself as it rotates So you just basically started writing on the budget brother than then digging into the surface you have sleep tired that made out of. interesting folks from from my be cross raises I? Mean there's some some peanut butter mother where you can't do anything anyway. But you know sort of that compromise our question was, could we make the not so big that they don't squirm on the pavement But still have enough space in between. That they kill themselves and still make them small enough that they dig into. The answers yet? it took a lot of experimentation or we started with calculations because as you mentioned earlier the time over very expensive, you can't just make a prototype. You basically commit to to more or less production run. but anyway, and we found you can I mean you can make a knobby tire the the coroner's really well, the rights almost like a slick tire on the road. And that still drifts extremely well in the modern smell and so on. So that's the second pair we offer, which is basically you know A. A mutt tire that works really well on the road versus the other tire that the road tire that works really well on gravel and gravel the intersection where I would say. He can run either I mean tha king ran the Nabis endured cancer in In the mid south ran the slicks and. You know he says there's there's not much in between between them on those courses. Yeah I think it's really interesting and sort of mind blowing the first time you ride a slick tire off road and. It's surprising how well they do perform. A. Mean. Realistically you look at you know you drive your car on the gravel road you don't have huge op speaking out of those tires either if it's not to say it's not necessarily. Well like a lot. About the I mean you know if you're in snow and you know that your car to drive on snow it's super easy to spin the wheel even though with even though you might have four wheel drive because just they don't drip and if you have real like rally snow tires on your car, you know it's it's different than the same with the bike. 00:45:12 - 00:48:45 I mean that's where you know if if I expect any snow or mud on the right definitely puts the NABIS. On one hundred, zero saved in between right and that's the beauty of. Of the tires we were able to develop his role. So well, payment actually better than the month of racing slicks in our testing. That you don't have to compromise so much anymore you can. You know we did one right where we traverse the cascades. In January not the super hypothesis because you know ten feet of snow, it's not like you want to do but we went at the foot of months in Helen on roads that are close to car so. Wonderful writing. But we had like a hundred miles of. What we call transport states just roads riding to get that because we took the train to the you know to the jumping off point. Then we rose across the the mountains and took a train back. And Really It wasn't a chore to write all that Pavement on the on the in fact, we forgot about the now time Britain that course many times wasn't any slower than usual would be right. Interesting. Will Jana I appreciate all the time today it's given a great background to your company and your history and a love getting the insight into these tires because I think there's a lot of thought that goes into it in. It's worth my listeners understanding the different variables that you need to be considering when purchasing attire. Thanks a lot and yeah, I mean definitely. Yeah. I. Think the tires are probably part of your bike that makes the biggest difference in how the bike fields and performs and Maybe, we made those tires because we wanted tires to ride ourselves, and that's always been sort of driving or development. is where and how and what we want to ride. So. Thanks a lot for having me. Big. Thanks John for coming on the show and I hope you learned a ton about tires, tire pressure and tire treads during the conversation I. Know I did there was a lot to that conversation. So don't be afraid to rewind and hit play again and take some notes. I think we can all learn a lot from yawn and the great news is a lot of the things he said can be applied to your existing wheel, set your existing tires to test and learn and see if some. Of the things that he's discovered in his writing and testing match with your own personal tests on the road and trail. Big. Thanks again to this week sponsor pin W. components do not forget about that discount code the gravel ride I mentioned at the beginning of the podcast and big thanks to everybody who's been visiting by me a coffee dot com slash the gravel ride to check out how you can support the podcast and some of the different membership perks and membership options that we've been adding to that page from time to time. Supporting the PODCAST is not within your means, ratings and reviews, and simply sharing the podcast with your friends is incredibly helpful to me, and it really puts them wind in my sails. So that's it. For this week my friends make sure to hit me up on social media and remember we've got that new facebook listener forum. I'd love for you to join where I'm looking for episode, suggestions and questions you might have for us to cover in the dirt. So until next time, I'm signing off and here's to finding some dirt under your wheels.

In this episode, Sean Ellis interviews Nabis Founder and CEO Vincent Ning to understand what is driving their breakout growth. Vincent tells the story of how they went from a couple of guys driving a van to a 120 person company moving over $100M in wholesale cannabis products. The YCombinator backed business is now a logistics powerhouse handling everything from product distribution to compliance. Vincent credits the biggest driver of growth to an industry that is booming. But he also says that their technology has played a big role in differentiating the service from competitors. For example, brands have complete visibility into the location of their shipments at any time. This helps build trust which is critical for developing strong relationships with brands. This interview took place in March. Since that time a lot of businesses have been heavily impacted by Covid 19 and Nabis is no exception.

A conversation with Tyson Hart, Founder Civilian Bicycle Company, Portland OR.  Civilian Bicycle Company Website Civilian Bicycle Company Instagram    Automatic Transcription, Please Excuse the typos Tyson, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks. Good to be here. Right on. So it was great meeting you at Nabs uh, you know, last month and I'd love to just let the audience know a little bit more about your background as a cyclist and then we'll get into the bikes you're building out of Portland. Yeah, absolutely. You know, BMX was pretty big back then and I just really started riding BMX bike, probably bought at a box store before there was such thing as a box store and me and my little tramp cronies would just roll around the neighborhood. I grew up in southwest Portland where there's quite a bit of trail and hill, just a few miles from downtown and actually pretty close to Alvin rose dairy, which at the time had a BMX track home to one of the, the bigger cross races in Portland. So it's, it's Kinda cool to be riding cross every fall where I kind of grew up riding BMX bike on the track and things like that. Literally set my tent up where the, where the BMX course used to be, which is, is what it is. But it's, it's pretty fun to get over there. And oddly enough, I live back in southwest Portland. I've lived kind of all over the country, you know, during my tenure, but I'm back in my original zip code and not far from that dairy again. And it's, it's been great. I really enjoy live in live in where there's a little bit of nature and uh, and, and get out easily. Nice. It just goes to show how pervasive, what a lifestyle and lifelong sports cycling can be, which is a lot of fun. Yeah, absolutely. And, uh, you know, uh, we talked a little bit briefly before the podcast about my dirt first philosophy. I think that's where that was born. I really just enjoy least to build trails and the blackberry bushes, you know, forested areas around, around our neighborhood and just, you know, go out and hurt ourselves every, every weekend. And I still really enjoy just getting, getting in the dirt and riding mountain bikes mostly. Um, but yeah, I, I just continue to continue to really enjoy that style riding much more so than getting out on the long, the long road rides. And then did you get caught by their racing bug? I have. I really love cross and I think it goes back to that I'm just feeding into just getting and being able to play in the dirt as in the bud as a, as an adult and not feel weird about it. Um, in Portland has got such a huge crossing, uh, that it is, I've been racing crossword dozen years now or more and it's, it's just a blast. I mean there's, some of the races have, you know, a thousand plus racers, um, and 5,000 spectators or so and so it really feels like a bigger of that than a bunch of angry dads out there on know weekend warriors. And then I also, you know, I do do some, there's a short track series in Portland, which I've been doing for the last few years, which is pretty fun if it's kind of like a glorified crossway. Um, but it's kind of like my adult softball league. I used to bend up, play softball, and just go up there on Monday nights during the summer. And there's a lot of bumps out there and it's, it's been a good time, but the communities are racing community here is, is awesome. There's just a bunch of really good people and everybody is, you know, mostly out there for fun. There's definitely some guys who get pretty serious about it, but, um, it's, it's fast and furious and it's just a, it's just a really good time. Um, you know, and it's kind of any kind of find anything you wanted to be a family man and you can get up there with your family and there's some kid races and things like that where if you're, uh, you know, young, single spear, you know, history, you can get out there and drink beer all day and uh, and you know, raise some hell. So it's, it really is a little bit of everything for everybody. It's a lot of fun. Nice. It sounds like a great scene up there. Yeah, absolutely. So how did you get into bikes as a profession? Well, uh, most or a lot of people know I'm a fairly long Manmohan bout six, seven. So finding a bike as an adult, it was always a challenge. You know, especially in geometry has gotten a lot better in the last, you know, senior years. But, uh, you know, coming up and wanting to ride bikes, you know, my dad's and kind of actually is a reality and so I would want to ride with him and trying to find a road bike that would fit well. You know, when things just went hot and wet longer and had to then, but didn't necessarily go longer in the top tube, just having a, a stand that look like a crank. It was, you know, however many, 130 millimeters stem and trying to push the seat as far back as I could. And um, you know, mountain biking, I just felt like an eighth just hanging over these 26 inch a wheel by except the time. Um, so that's really what sparked my interest in it. I've always been a DIY person. And so trying to get a bike that fit, um, when I first started out, um, I really thought I would catered to kind of the ends of the bell curve. The tall on the small, um, as, as you know, most fabulous would probably tell you if the niche market. And so, um, I felt like that would just be a niche within a niche. And so I decided I was going to just make custom bikes, you know, for all really trying to focus and people who did have a hard time fitting but really just wanted to build a bikes for people that love to ride. And how did you get the basic skill set for welding and framed building? Um, I did take a class that ubi the, uh, I took the titanium class figuring that if I could build titanium, I think I really wanted to go into this field. Um, but I figured if I could, well if they paid him successfully, I could definitely do steal from everything. All my research that I did before that. Um, and so I took the titanium class many years ago down and Ashland, Oregon. Um, and I, you know, it's a great course and get you the basics as far as welding goes. It's, it really is just practice, practice, practice. Um, you do, if you pick up some tricks here and there. While I was at the class, it was taught by Jim Kish, Kish fabrications, who've, who build some of the most beautiful titanium bikes you've ever seen. Um, and he, I kind of just kept knocking on his door until he, he led me in to, uh, kind of apprentice with him, just kind of off and on. And it's like he taught me a few more tricks just off off the, off the clock I guess. Um, and I was in the same area we wanted at the time. And so we, the friended him and he was able to just give me a few more pointers and kind of get me set up in the right direction and he really, really helped me get started. So when did you first start operating under the civilian brand? Um, that was in 2005 at the time. I was, uh, I was working at Bob, uh, trailers slash strollers. Um, it's, it was time. It was called Bob trailers. Um, even though in trailers are about 1% of their business. And that's what drew me to their company because, you know, it's, it was the precursor to the bike packing. It was the bike, you know, uh, cargo trailer that they developed and it's pretty cool product. Um, yeah, they went heavy into strollers and that really drove their business and now they're owned by a bright tax much is a car seat manufacturer. So they, they've uh, they've definitely gone more down that road. But, um, I started with them and, uh, I was in Boise, Idaho and I started just kind of moonlighting, uh, building frames form, you know, myself and some friends during the 29 or 29 or single speed thing when that was really kind of taken off and the writing over there and he's real, real flowy and, and Kinda mellow as far as just right outside of town. So a lot guys that was building four is just building a single speed rigid bikes that were just super bare bones. Um, really fun to ride and just, you know, get out there and just kind of crank up and down the up and down the foothills of Boise from there. Uh, you know, I, I, I dabbled in quite a bit of different things. I definitely built, I built a little bit of everything and building, you know, stuff through county bikes. Um, two more racy road bikes. Um, but I again, I gravitate towards there and, uh, so really mountain bikes and cross bikes is where I've really tried to tried to hang my hat and now, um, you know, that that gravel thing, uh, has taken off. And so, um, you know, tweaking my geometry and getting out in the gravel and understanding what that really means and being in that, being on the, on those roads for a long time has helped me develop, you know, my, my, my gravel bike, the journey you've been on with civilian is not the typical small frame builder journey from 2005 to now. What, what went on in the middle there? Not at all. Like I said, I was moonlighting, I guess they call it, the kids call it a side hustle now, um, at, at Bob and, and that was a great company to work for. Um, but I wanted to, I didn't, I didn't necessarily see a kind of, uh, a path for what I, my ambition and what I wanted to do there. So, um, I jumped ship and 2005, and I'm kind of hung my shingle and went for it. Uh, and you know, had a couple of good years. I was really getting out there. I was starting to starting to get a little bit of traction before the kind of financial, um, uh, the recession hit in 2008. So after that I struggled for a couple of years or a year and a half or so. I just wasn't quite, and getting the orders I needed to sustain myself and kind of started to look for other opportunities. And having been above Bob, I've been overseas, I'd understood Asian production and what that looks like. And in fact, the owner of Bob came from the bike industry. Um, so I was in, I was doing a lot of factories that made components in different things for four bike industry and I that led me to applying for a job@thatcountry.com just kind of haphazardly. I was like, I ski too. So I was like, oh, they didn't park city. That sounds pretty cool. I applied for a buyer position with them and a recruiter called me up like the next day and was, uh, asked me if I'd be interested in a brand manager for private label, uh, bike division that they had. They had a parts and accessories brand under there, a house brands called cutter, which was mostly parts and accessories, but they did put their sticker on a fixie and brought in a, I dunno, a couple of hundred of them and they sold them out of there like $500 fixie bikes, a super bare bones. So they, um, they really understood power of kind of house brand. And, uh, my manager at the time came from Rei. And so they out, you know, a huge house brands, private label business. And He, uh, he and I during the discussion or during the interviewing process beside it or talked about possibly bringing under civilian underneath the back country, um, banner as a house brand, we could tell the story of a frame builder who wants to, uh, wants to put more asses in the seats and um, you know, develop, develop a number of bikes. You know, we weren't price point bike, but we were certainly a competitively priced by, um, you know, I went after when, uh, bikes that I felt like, um, lending themselves to steal because of the brand heritage, willing to, to stick with steel. So we did some cross bikes, um, a couple of 29 and mountain bikes and then some support of the bikes because they had so much success with that. Uh, first urban bike. It's such a unique story. I can't imagine, or I certainly haven't heard of any other frame builder who's gone through that same journey to take the brand in house somewhere and start producing it overseas at that point. Uh, it's really interesting. Yeah. And it was, it was, uh, I think it's just because I had been over there. My manager at the time had the confidence that I could do it and I, and I did have some connections that I brought to the table. And so it was kind of a perfect storm of what I was doing at the time and the experience that I did gain at Bob, um, for, for product management and getting in and understanding what it really looks like to, um, to produce things in Asia. Um, that said, it was, uh, it was all, it's always a struggle. Um, you know, there's certain minimums you have to meet, there's certain, um, um, specs you have to, uh, work within some confines that you have to work within. And, and so I'm really proud of the bike that I've built while I was producing an Asia. Um, but I also never was satisfied with them. Um, it was, it was a lot of, a lot of fun and a lot of work, but it was also just a lot of compromise. Um, and so again, I'm really proud of those, but I was always wanted to do more. Um, and you know, there was a lot of things that I was, you know, a lot of roads I was going down proposing to, to my boss about what, where I thought the brand could go or what I thought we could do. Um, and so ultimately, um, it was, it was a series of compromises, but again, very proud of what, uh, what I built over there. How did the brand end up spinning out at the end? So, uh, during that time, um, they had also, or right after I came on, they were in discussion with competitive cyclist, which was another online small, you know, that's definitely more high end online re Harvie Taylor I guess. And so they had bought competitive, um, again, they, they understood that um, their customers also ruined bikes. You know, at the time, back country was really, uh, a camping and skiing and outdoor brand or retailer. Right. And they have since gone into a lot more, uh, just, you know, bikes and, and fishing and things like that, this other, other disciplines within that space. Um, so they, they foresaw that there, there were also cyclists, so they wanted to get kind of, you know, try to get that year round, how summer. So they had bought, they had worked out to buy a competitive cyclist and bring that team on board. And quite honestly, I think what happened was, again, steal bikes, um, you know, affordable, not cheap, but affordable steal bikes wasn't necessarily where they're, where they felt uncomfortable. They really were a lot more about, and like super high ends, you know, what I call speed in Spandex, you know, kind of bikes. So they just didn't, I don't, I just don't think it'd be end of the day they understood the brand and, and what I was trying to do that, and coupled with a couple other business decisions, um, that you know, happened at the executive level, they, uh, cut the whole private label, the pro program. So they cut my team and then they also cry my manager's team who was doing all the outdoor label stuff, so they were doing outerwear and gloves and puffy jackets and all that kind of stuff. So they ended up cutting both of our teams kind of, uh, of at once. And I was able to buy the brand back mostly by just kind of giving up a little bit of my royalty package than I had negotiated a initially with them. And so they're going to get the brand back. Also a negotiated down buying another couple of containers of cross and mountain bikes. So that was the good news. I was able to, um, you know, have a couple pos to continue to address overseas. And I ended up continuing to work with by Taiwan, um, manufacturer and get a couple more shipments of bikes out. But at that point I was basically a one man wolf pack in it. Um, and trying to run this business, trying to, um, you know, order order containers, worth of bikes as well as build out a sales channel beyond back country. Not calm cause I just, I had a feeling that our relationship wasn't going to last. And, um, ultimately it took costs a lot of money to fill a container full of bikes. Yeah. I can only imagine. Yeah. I just couldn't quite get to a place where I was sustainable and it was starting to burn me out quite a bit. And again, the, uh, the quality of the bikes was never what I, what I want to be. So it got to a place where, you know, in my personal life it changed who I was married and um, you know, moving into different direction. And so, um, kind of started, you know, thinking about things like dental plans and health insurance and that kind of thing. Um, so I ended up, uh, after a little, a a good run, but, um, with another batch of, of, um, Taiwanese made by cause, uh, and I, and that was able to develop a small sales channel, but it just wasn't enough. I'm very passionate, small shops around the country. I was able to get into a handful of them and, um, but you know, they're, they're passionate cyclist and passionate cyclist aren't always the best, um, you know, business owners and business people. So, um, struggle to kind of keep them, uh, buying, uh, buying the bikes and being able to, to buy in early and that kind of thing. So, um, between that and then again, just happened to do the half a compromise so much. I just felt like it was a time for a break, take a little break, kind of got your head strain, figured out what you wanted to do and be as a brand. Yeah, it took a little break. Um, I, um, uh, you know, I was still building a bike here. They're just for myself or a friend or something. Um, but it would not welding on, on a regular basis. And so, you know, obviously we'll have that back country. I was, I was, you know, if that's jockey, um, I was managing the Burnham, both that brand and the cutter brand. I was, you know, more of like a product and a brand manager or even just like a general manager for, you know, depending on what you call it for, for the civilian and cut our brands underneath the back Pantry, um, umbrella and a after, you know, do it in, which was what I was kind of doing once I left there to the first few years. And then, um, again, just not being able to, you know, robbing Peter to pay Paul every month just made it, made it kind of a struggle. So I ended up, yeah, I've just taken it down and thought I getting burned out on, on bikes too. Um, but like it was, I was not enjoying riding and not enjoying, you know, racing, riding, doing any of those things with the bikes. So I actually just took a break from the industry all together. Um, and I had a couple of jobs outside of the industry. Um, one was in the small startup in the outdoor space and one was in the industrial tooling space. Uh, and you know, both of them, especially the industrial tooling company, I just knew like the day I just knew it wasn't the right fit. And after a year, um, I think both parties knew it wasn't a right fit. And so a part of the way, um, with them, meanwhile, like that flavor and that and that fire for some writing and kind of started, started taking over again. I started commuting while I was at that company and, and, uh, just getting out with friends a little bit more, again, being able to ride just for the fun of it. Um, and once I left that, that job, I started thinking about what it, what it would take to really make a, a US brand successful. And what, what, what it looks like to build something based on all the knowledge that I have of working overseas of, um, you know, working with us, manufacturing, Asian manufacturing, um, what the industry, uh, it looks like how much things have changed with the likes of have a back country, dotcom or other retailers, even Amazon, um, and uh, you know, where civilian could fit within that, within that world. Um, start having conversations with some folks in Portland about, um, you know, what the capacity is for building and kind of small band of builders, um, that are kind of on hold for building some small batch by X. Right now I'm doing small batches of like two and three. When I, when I get an order, um, I might build, you know, I get an order for a cross bike, I'll, I'll build like, uh, you know, maybe another one in a popular size and try to have it kind of ready to go. So someone has to do is pick the parts and the paint and then, uh, and then, you know, it gets delivered pretty quickly if someone does want custom. Um, that's, that's an option and we'll do that as well. But just trying to right now you don't get offered just, uh, you know, a purpose bill, you know, what I called dirtt first bike that can, um, that's kind of ready to go and rip when you are. So, um, and you know, and also being able to control about the specs a little bit more and also add some of those details, um, that you just can't do in Asia. Um, really kind of excited me. Uh, so, uh, that's where I am now. That was one of the things that kind of dirt first philosophy that was articulated on your website and then your booth at nab is one of the things that drew me in because I think the grapple market, you've got a lot of road plus markets, the road plus bikes, which are kind of just giving slightly wider tires and disc brakes and allowing people to go off road and it's very attractive to someone interested in, uh, you know, expanding their road riding loops. But the dirt first philosophy, I know you come it from a radically different perspective. You're, you're sort of talking about like, this bike is built to go off road, so can you talk about some of the attributes of your flying tramp model can get out there? I just enjoy being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. So I wrote a cross bike as my main by quote unquote road bike for years, smaller, maybe a file and ride that is a commuter bike or just as my training bike and then swap it out to Nabis it and ride it for during the race season. So I've always been a writer. I've always wanted to get off and there's a off the main, the main road in doing that and getting out and ride a little bit more as this thing started to take, take hold in the last however many years I found myself on longer rides. You know, a lot of it was kind of to your point, like, oh, just take this little gravel roads connect to that other road. So, you know, having a found trends would, was a great way to do that. But, um, you know, we have so many fire, uh, fire roads and forest service roads around here and has, um, groups started going out and I started joining them. I understood that, you know, uh, my aggressive kind of cyclocross geometry just wasn't a right bike for that, um, ride. And I also started paying attention as a, as a product guy, I started paying attention to what other people are writing and um, you know, not everybody could have equivalent bikes and so you'd see a lot of guys more and more showing up with them with a bike that could take a little more, uh, tire clearance or run to tire sizes like a 760, 50. And again, that has just kept getting wider and wider and you know, and then you'd see some of the monster cross things with the 2.2 or 2.0 tire on them. So it was really interesting to just kind of watch that evolution and keep that. So, in doing so I, I, I tweaked the geometry, um, where, you know, I got the rider, I tried to get the rider upright a little bit more just for that long day in the saddle, a little bit slacker geometry to take up the bumps into, to be more comfortable for those, for those long days in the saddle. And then I also started working on figuring out the tire and the optimal tire size. Um, I wrote and I built up a crazy, uh, you know, Monster Cross bike and I rode out on a few a few rides and n I a n m. Dot. Light's still come, come into the, uh, into the fold someday. But I think what I built with the flying tramp, which is, you know, my gravel specific, a bike really tries to answer as many questions or you know, that writer might have when getting out on the road and really optimize the, it continued it kind of to what ever kind of riding they're going to if they have the, you know, the time and the tire selection to do so. But it can take a pretty, a pretty large 2.0 50 tire and up to a 42, um, uh, 700 tire. So just kind of going down that road, I felt like that was again just kind of off, tried to optimize what I felt I saw out there with, um, with what people were doing and what type of tube center using on that bike. Generally I use Columbus' life, uh, you know, and if it's a bigger bike, I might have to tune that a little bit. Uh, I've worked a lot with Columbus and I really, I really like it. I like the, I like what they offer as a, as a selection of tubes and I feel like that life, uh, life families really optimizes the kind of compliance that you want, but also had, it's snappy enough to get up out of the saddle and crank up like a steep, steep grade if you needed to. Gotcha. And when customers are ordering a bike from you, what are the choices they're making? Um, like I said, right now I offer stock sizing. Um, but like I said, I can't do presto. You know, generally what I ended up doing it starting at a stock and then tweaking it from there unless their anatomy is really a really unique. And then there I have, uh, two different bills on my site. I have a standard and a prime and I tried again to offer like a, a very reasonably priced, custom built bike. Um, and then something a little bit nicer. Again, understanding that people aren't going to want whatever they're they want. And looking cups to custom bikes, I felt like this was a good place to start. So by all means, those, you know, bikes aren't set in stone and there's a few upgrades to those two models that you can, that you can add on. And then do you have some difference, different finishing options as well? Yeah. Getting to that. So then I'd have a kind of a standard color and you get to pick, um, our standard, uh, you know, color way and you can pick which, you know, three colors you want on there and it's, it's, um, and that's, uh, you know, with the painted to match as the fork on there. So you can kind of go, I generally will work with customer on, on colors, a lot of ideas and a lot of them will have maybe one pantone that they want a certain color and then, you know, I might work with them on some complimentary. But yeah, again, that's a three color, you know, painted to match for, um, you know, basic design. Obviously, again, custom bikes or custom bikes. So if you have some crazy color scheme you want, we can do that. And I work real closely with my, with my painter and he can do just about anything. So, um, you know that again, customers, if you want to customize everything, we customize everything. Well, there's certainly some great examples of both the quality of the craftsmanship, more of your story and some of the great paint jobs. On your website, so I'll put a link to that in the show notes. If people want to get in touch with you, what's the best means for them to do that? Yeah, just Tyson at Ryde, CV l. N. Dot. Awesome. The Tyson. Thanks for the overview and thanks for continuing to plug away on the civilian brand. I really liked your work at nabs and a wish you the best of success. Thanks. I appreciate your time.

Conférence d'Élise Dubreuil, conservateur en charge des arts décoratifs au musée d'Orsay Les Nabis cherchaient à créer pour leurs contemporains un décor moderne. Mais à quoi ressemblaient les intérieurs parisiens dans lesquels ces artistes évoluaient à la fin du XIXè siècle ? Comment se situent leurs recherches dans le grand mouvement de rénovation des arts décoratifs qui marque leur époque ? Ce sont quelques-unes des questions qui seront abordées lors de cette conférence.

Conférence par Hubert Le Gall, designer, scénographe de l'exposition "Les Nabis et le décor", du 13 mars au 30 juin 2019 A la fin du XIXè siècle, les recherches des Nabis s'inscrivent dans le contexte d'un très grand dynamisme en matière d'art décoratif. Comment Hubert Le Gall, designer contemporain qui a donné le titre d'Éternel printemps à une récente exposition de son travail d'après un célèbre ensemble de Maurice Denis, perçoit-il ces œuvres ?

In this week’s episode, Brandon welcomes Vince Ning, CEO of Nabis, to the show. Vince is not your average young founder. He’s already been a part of Y-Combinator and sold his first company to Amazon. After that experience, he turned his sights to cannabis. Seeing an opportunity to disrupt incumbents like RVR, CannaCraft, and Indus, Vince and his team built a low-cost, tech-based solution for cannabis brands. In less than 2 years, they’ve built a network to cover the entire state, have dozens of top level brands (like Canndescent, California Dreamin, and Flower Co), and are one of the fastest growing distributors in California. Tune in, listen up, and get acquainted with Vince of Nabis!

Alison Edwards is a prominent painter in Glastonbury, England. She paints in a beautiful and fluid style, which is at times otherworldly and perhaps reminiscent of the Nabis, Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists, but with a freshness which places her paintings firmly in the New Age of Aquarius. We begin by discussing her background and influences.

1935 wurde das erste Gemälde Vuillards für die Sammlung des Kunstmuseums Winterthur erworben, 2010 das bisher letzte, und so besitzt das Museum heute acht zumeist aus seinen frühen Jahren stammende Gemälde. Von diesen Werken ausgehend, gliedert sich die Ausstellung in sechs Kapitel, die Vuillards wichtigste Themen berühren. An einigen Stellen werden seine Werke ergänzt durch verwandte Gemälde von Pierre Bonnard und Félix Vallotton, um die thematischen Zusammenhänge zwischen den befreundeten Malern zu veranschaulichen.

My new podcast

Bonnard, Vuillard and Félix Vallotton belonged to the circle of Nabis painters. Among them Vallotton was “le nabi étranger”, the stranger from the Canton of Vaud, and also the outsider.

Der Film präsentiert die Ausstellung der Zeichnungen des Malers Félix Vallotton (1865–1925). In einem kurzen Ueberblick zeigt der Film den Wandel von Vallottons Zeichnungsstil vom Realismus der Frühzeit bis zu den atmosphärischen Landschaften der letzten Jahre.

In 1904 Constantin Brancusi walked all the way from Romania to Paris, where he first worked for Auguste Rodin for a time, but he didn’t endure the overpowering master for long.

Herzlich willkommen im Kunst Museum Winterthur. Ich begrüsse Sie zu unserem Rundgang, den wir hier, im Treppenhaus des Museums, beginnen.

Welcome to the Kunst Museum Winterthur, and welcome to our tour that begins here in the stairwell of the museum.

Les Nabis experimented with bold colouring and abstraction, taking inspiration from Paul Gauguin. They included Paul Sérusier, Maurice Denis, Pierre Bonnard, Aristide Maillol and Edouard Vuillard.
