Today's celestial journey takes us to Saturn's moon, Titan, where new research casts a shadow on the prospects of finding life in its sub-ice oceans. Despite the rich hydrocarbons on Titan's surface, the study by astrobiologist Catherine Neish suggests that the transfer of essential organic materials to the ocean below is far too slow to foster life as we know it. The implications of this finding could extend to other icy moons, potentially dampening hopes for habitability across our solar system.Then, we pivot to Earthly matters as we join the United Nations' cosmic conversation. The UN has finally agreed to tackle the burgeoning issue of satellite constellations cluttering our orbit. With over 8,000 satellites circling our planet and plans for many more, astronomers are increasingly concerned about light pollution and radio interference. But can the UN's agenda lead to effective regulation, or will it be a case of too little, too late in the fast-paced space industry?From the icy depths of Titan to the crowded skies of Earth, this episode of Space Nuts is a testament to the ever-evolving quest for knowledge and the challenges of preserving our cosmic frontiers. So, sit back, tune in, and let your imagination take flight as we unravel these astronomical enigmas.For the full spectrum of space-time adventures and to keep your astronomical curiosity quenched, subscribe to Space Nuts on your preferred podcast platform.

We wanted to talk about how you could get NO cost Construction leads and we will go into that kind of heavily, today. The best way to go about getting them and how to have others help you get those leads. At absolutely no cost. So listen up and take notes. Jonah Canter from Canter construction and Charelston, South Carolina. Really fun time. Last time we had him on the show and if you don't know who he is, he's a contractor in Charelston, South Carolina. He's been in the construction business and he's actually started at an early age and running other companies and moved up and actually ended up starting his own construction business and took all the stuff he learned in running other companies at such a young age and put him into his construction company. But, mostly, honestly, it's in the service area of it. I mean, he does a great job in what he does but he gets called back and back and back because of his relationships that he built with his clients and his customers. So, I want to bring him back because we wanted to talk about how you could get new cost Construction leads and we will go into that kind of heavily, today. And, you know, we just had such a great response that I want to bring Jonah. So here's Jonah.   Jonah, I'm glad that you could come back today. Because the last time, we get such a great response to what you talk about and I know you've got some really awesome stuff about marketing that you want to talk to today.   Yeah, Dave I appreciate you having me back. It was, it was fun doing the last one. I got a lot of responses from some of the viewers which was really helpful and made me feel good that people are actually taking some of what we're talking about and actually putting it to good use. And that was great.   So, yeah, I appreciate you have me back. One of the things I thought that would be helpful for the listeners today is if we can talk a little bit about how contractors can get leads or without spending money. I consider them "The no cost construction lead process".   And I'll dive right in. So, when I was first getting my business going, I didn't have a clue. Like, how I was going to get literally the first phone call. And, I had got friends and family to have us do some small stuff but that's not sustainable. So, I was sitting on my couch one night and I ended up e-mailing a real estate friend of mine and I said "Hey do you have a contractor you use for, you know, fence's decks or whatever?" and he responded back hey actually I need somebody to take care of a bunch of like loose end kind of stuff.   But yeah, we will. And I thought about it I was like wow. If he needs that kind of stuff, I bet you there's other realtors. So, I went on this journey and the Charleston area and finding how many realtor groups and you know people there were out there and I found out, which I know now and everybody knows, that there's a lot of realtors and whatever geography that you are and thousands of them. They're like fan staying on the beach kind of thing. So, what I realized there is I sad "man, this is kind of a potentially untapped market of people" who, on a regular basis, are dealing in real estate transactions--buying and selling-- that may mean some type of construction service. So, I went and I bought a six pack of beer and I got on my laptop and I started to go feverishly buy each reality and started copying pasting into a spreadsheet by the realty the person's name, their email. And this is a bunch, again sweat equity and viscid Alge it's mindless stuff. I've probably paid somebody to do it.   Sure. But to me it's like I don't want to spend money for stuff like that. So, I ended up doing it myself. And, at the end of it I ended up getting about 300 e-mails. And each company is a little different. For the most part, most really companies have their e-mails publicly available. You can click on the person space there because they want to have their e-mail. In other cases, if you're smart and you want to get crafty, sometimes the realty company will hide or have like, almost like a contact wall and front before you can get to the reeler. It's a dumb idea. In my opinion, it's a terrible way of aggravating people but they do it sometimes. Well, me being the never satisfied Jonah, I didn't like that. I thought there was a whole reality of people that I couldn't get their e-mail address for. So, what I ended up doing was I tried to find out like how exactly do you get a particular, you know, email and what I found was I ended up finding a press release that ended up coming from somebody within the company. And I realized that it said jane dot go at such and such realty. And I went "Oh, well that's the naming convention for their e-mails”.   I already have all the names of the people, I bet you are pretty close to figuring out John Maybank is John Bébé at name realty. So, for those that were a little tricky and I didn't get the e-mails, just using common sense I kind of put that together and I harvested those as well. Now I've got you know some middle names that, you know, that I didn't put in writing or whatever they got kickback but in general I was able to harvest a lot of those e-mails that that you know for the average person would be hidden behind that and were valid e-mails. But to get to the core numbers, I ended up about I think it was around 300 e-mails. And what I ended up doing was I did not do this kind of mail chimp or whatever process. There's a thousand different reasons but one of the biggest and most important ones is that a lot of these Web sites are red flags from e-mail accounts already.   They know where they're coming from and they say that's junk so we'll put it there. And those companies are always paying a lot of money to try to get that red flag lifted. So, I said I don't want that to happen. So, what I did was I focused on the individual realtors’ realty companies and what I did was I literally opened 15 different Gmail email windows and I would copy and paste.   And so, what I would do is I would have the same subject line and then the message would be the same I would say hey buddy with Jonah Canter. I'm currently working with Ryan X over here at Carolina One. Doing some projects. I'd love to be the person that can help you with your inspection reports. Your seal 100 sign offs or any kind of general construction that you need. Feel free to contact us whatever. And I would copy and paste that message into every single one of those messages. Go back to my spreadsheet. Pop in all the e-mails for a lot of listeners. They're like "Holy cow! that's a lot of work for it". Well, the whole reason I was spending a lot of that work is: I wanted that to get to that person. I've wanted to go around the junk mail thing.   So, that's the best way at the time that I knew how to do it. So, after a lot of time and sending those e-mails, I mean a lot of time as in like, I think it took me about three solid hours to do it properly and methodically and make sure it was nice. And I curtailed it to each reality, right? So, I made sure it's like "I work with your friend. So, and so at Carolina one" or "I've done business dealings with your colleagues in your office". It's such a familiar tone. E-mail? --more likely to open. So, out of the 300, I had about 32 people actually reply.   It was. Just having people reply, at 32 people was amazing and then when you get into the fact that out of those 32 people I ended up picking up 15 realtors who wanted me to start looking at jobs for. And right away.   So, for four years.   Jeez! That's Sweet!   So, yes the are people out there. If you don't know marketing and everything it seems like an immensely small number. But as far as industry standards go for marketing and marketing campaigns that's a seriously successful situation to find yourself and with your leads, right?   And so, break it down. I mean think about that. I know you probably will but when you break it down per hour the time you spent generating that lead and the dollar. It's a high percentage rate. Not only is it just a high percentage rate, but man, that's a high dollar amount rate for the amount of work you got.   Absolutely.   You know one of the things is that the immediate impact of this was really apparent to me to me until I realized how my network had expanded. So, agents who were on the buying side and had no knowledge of my company. We're now hearing that my company was doing the repairs right. So, I not only gained the selling agent but also the work from the buying agent. Right. And in the middle of all that were the customers both buying or selling who potentially would provide me with more work.   And it was a wonderful situation to find myself in because in a lot of cases, the clients buying the house, had ideas for what they wanted to add or update after the closing. And, I was the first person they came to their mind because I did the repairs on the-- on the real estate repair side.   So, yeah. Okay, let me stop because I just don't think that everyone is comprehending and if you are, I just want to make this another aha! moment by sending out those e-mails that actually put you in front of four potential customers. It does. Well, it's actually six potential customers. Well, it is a bigger deal with real estate teams. You're correct.   Two-- two bookends of your agents and (then the buyer and seller) buyer and the seller. And then, if you have couples, I mean the numbers, you get the point-- it's a lot of people-- it's a lot! Yeah. It's-- it's not one. (It's multiples.)   Yeah. And so, with the example of the the 15 realtors. Let's just say give me one job each. That's forty-five new jobs, right? I can tell you that if you impress a realtor, they will always use you for their own clients. And, they will absolutely refer you to future clients. Or, thirdly, they'll refer you internally to the network of agents because they're always having this problem.   So, the benefits of Hardisty real estate leads are honestly exponential. Now, I will say to people this process does lend itself specifically to general contractors. And, the reason behind this is because general contractors are capable of doing a wide range of trade work for customers-- especially contractors. They may find results that vary from what I've mentioned, so mostly because they are limited in the amount of work they can do. So, a contractor can pull permits and this and that. So, just know that when you're going into this, if you're a specialty guy who just does dry wall, well I'm sure you can get drywall work. But a general contractor, who comes to that same realtor and says I can do it all, is going to trump you every time because realtors do not like having 15 different subs on an inspection report. They want one time, get it done, get it out.   Well, at least that they have to have that license-- that license contractor just to show for the receipts and stuff.   That's correct. In fact, it says on inspection reports at least it's here in South Carolina and other places. I'm sure there's reciprocity in the thought process. But idea as it says-- MUST BE INSPECTED. Or not say it's a must. It says "have a license contractor review the work" or whatever And that's another kind of side business if you will-- with potential with real estate agents is. In South Carolina-- in Charleston specifically, we have a report. It's called SEAL 100. And this report is independent of a regular inspection report. So a regular inspection report tells you about door latches, sinkers are not working in light bulb, and all that kind of stuff.   The seal 100 is specific to structural and relates to termite damage, water damage, mold build, do that kind of stuff. Well, everybody, in fact that the mortgage companies require SEAL 100 to close on houses and Charleston. So, this report, and we're in the low country, right? It's called the Low Country for a reason, it's like that. So, a lot of times, we see stuff like surface mold or we'll find serious issues like the seals under the house or Roded or there's other things.   Well, you cannot close on a house without that seal 100 being cleared by a licensed contractor. That means that Joe Schmooze out there, who doesn't have a contractor's license, cannot clear that. It will not go through. You have to have your license. There's a separate one sheet you have. But, what's beautiful about it, is outside of the inspection reports, you have another potential avenue of doing work and-- a lot of cases, I'm extremely fair to my customers.    I never want to screw somebody over because I think karma will come back and bite you. So, a lot of contractors will be like "ha ha they got popped for mold mildew". They're already scared. I'm going to tell them it's a thousand dollars and try to squeeze--NO! Because a lot of times you can remediate it very simply, quickly. Or the things that are noted on the SEAL 100 they'll say things like past bore holes in the silt. Well, we look at it, it's structurally sound. Well, guess what? We're not going to charge you five thousand dollars to do that. But we will-- we charge every time for a SEAL 100 sign off letter, we charge 150 dollars to the customer.   So whether we do the work or we just go out there look at it and sign off, we have another potential money out of there.   That's just another way to get some money to pay for investment.   Yeah. It really is. It is a sweet way of getting us to-- with our time, effort to go out there and then put our contractor license on it.   It's worth the time. We don't really make money. But again, back to the point, and I think the other podcast that I mentioned is, you know, you're going to wow people if they get doom and gloom from a report and you go look it's not as bad. We're not-- you don't have to do all this. It's just a simple sign if you can see the stress come off that was sold again. Building trust this got to be straight. Yeah, you charge three hundred and fifty dollars, but I get it. Source less time effort and all that. So you know, it is a nice way of getting that.   So, one thing I want to caution people, the contractors and people that are listening right now, is to you know do not be duped by real estate agents and are real estate agents nefarious?-- No they're not. Are there a lot of bad ones? -- Absolutely. And there's a lot of lazy ones and there's a lot of young ones. There's a lot of part time ones there's a lot of people that aren't good.   So, when you're going through this, you've got to separate the wheat from the chaff and you've got to find the real estate agents that have, you have their best interest in mind and their client's best interests in mind. But they reciprocate that back to you.    If a real estate agent is always throwing you under the bus or last minute or whatever, I don't want to work with you-- you're a problem. And that's what a successful company gets to pick and choose who they work for. So, maybe not initially but that was a growing pain with some of these I jokingly told people: you're fired. Like the Trump I'm like "no I'm done". I can't deal with you. You're too hard to work with and I don't like the way you do business so I don't have to work with you. So I now have, to this current day, I have about out of that number of 15.   Like an accordion way out. And then I brought it until about 10 that I work with on a regular basis. And four that I do work with every month. You know that you're just weird.   I mean, well I know I know that it can be and its but it's like any, you know, you've got-- you've got a niche and you got to find the ones that are-- that are worth it to you. That you can build a relationship with, that you trust them, they trust you and it's you. Because good real estate agents are looking for team members. To help make their life easier, to make their business successful. And then you've got other real estate agents are just looking for people to get for thirty-five dollars an hour to get in and get it down. It doesn't matter what it looks like or to just say that it's fixed and knows enough people you want to do business with.   Yeah, it's absolutely true. And one thing that another-- I don't call it a cautionary tale, but something that you should know and this specific-- specific vein of leads that you get is, I do not charge when somebody comes to me and they're a homeowner they call and say "Hey Jonah I want you to give me a price on redoing my kitchen when I come out". I do not charge them any fee for estimates. I think it's a joke for a homeowner to get a fee for an estimate.   That's what we're here to do it's a cost of doing business right. However, there is a very deep caveat when it comes to buying and selling property. And I learned this the hard way and I'm a pretty quick learner and I cut it off really fast. But I was going out for a couple of these bad realtors and they said "Oh can you tell us how this is the inspection report. We'd like to have X Y and Z X can you give us a price?" And I'd have to go out, look at it, take my time, give it to them, crickets, crickets, and then I'd say "Hey just tell him what happened", "Oh we just we negotiated that off of the sales price". "Oh, OK I'm sorry I spent my day took my time out of my job to come help you negotiate". So, in real estate transactions, for those listening, do not be afraid to charge a estimating fee.   I say: hey look if you want me to come out here you don't own the house. You're looking to buy it. I'm going to charge you and I can-- this price at where I sit now, I can charge. You may want to charge less and I'm totally fine but I charge people 200 dollars. Because I know if you're serious or not. Right? Right. So, I say: hey I charge 200 dollars. I will come out. I will give you a static binding estimate on whatever you want. I'll shake hands with you know, whatever. But you'll get it for me a binding estimate. But you're going to give me 200 dollars when you meet with me and I'm going to turn that estimate over to you. Now, at the end of the day you can use that however you want. You can choose to negotiate the price, you can say oh I spent 200 dollars to learn something I don't care. Or, if you say Jonah we want you to fix this work.   I'll knock the 200 dollars off of the price and I'll do the work for you. Right. And that's a way of keeping honest people honest. And say: hey look this is my time effort. I'm in Charleston right now. As I stand here now, we are slammed, right? So, I don't have time for this. This kind of stuff in my business and I've grown up to the point where I don't need to go to things that aren't going to have results from them and it sounds kind of pompous but I don't know where I'm at now.   You move from one-- one spectrum to another spectrum and along the way you've learned the lessons. Like many of us have. That you would do what you can do, what you want to and what you should do and you don't mind doing stuff like that as long as you're going to get paid for your time. And you know what, it does. You always have to learn like what you say has reactions, right? You've got to look at-- empathy is the thing that's lost in today's youth because you can sit on a phone and call somebody fat and then you're like them I feel good about myself . I'm going to go make a sandwich and you don't know what the other person is like--you know, feeling. But when you have to look at somebody or interact with them and see when you say something like I'm going to charge you two hundred dollars. And the reason I'm doing this is because I wanted to be fair to you and to me.   But I'm going to I'm going to pay it back to you. If you react in a good way you know you'd say yes to the estimate or what I noticed in watching people is they said: OK not a problem or some people would go $200-- That's a joke. There's other people doing it for free and I'd go. You're right. And you should use them and I'd walk because I don't want to-- if that's how you're going to be about this, and not be thinking clearly-- you're not the client for me. You're going to be a pain in my butt from all from start to finish (because there's no value in your time). Exactly, exactly. You already treat me a certain way.   So, it's a great way to just, you know, kill a conversation quickly or to gauge if a person is interested. And I will tell you, I'm not kidding. Eight out of ten times that I charge 200 dollars for an estimate. They got some skin in the game, right? So, they want to they end up coming back. So, it's kind of like you know, it's a little bit of a sticky wicket but it keeps them coming back and saying "well you know we can use our 200 dollars off ". When you're doing this guys and ladies contractors out there who are listening, just keep in mind to build an extra 200 dollars somewhere in your in your estimate. If you really want to be honest. You can do that. There's nothing wrong with that. Which can be-- because you did spend your time. Let's be honest.   You spent your time, your effort to do it. So, I would never tell anybody not to do that. Or you can say, "you know what Jonah, the way I look at this, I'm just going to take it off because my best estimate. I don't think anybody would think bad of you on either side of that because this is the business that we're in. That's something that's totally acceptable in my opinion.   Well, yeah and I think that like the other day I’ve, you know, the other day I got a call and everyone said I'll get a call. And you know, can you come give me an estimate? Sure. Do I have to be there? Yes. Why?   You know I would really like to know what you need done. "Well, I want my house painted" And I can go "Is there any repairs?" Well I don't know. So, they just really-- they want a price they don't want you, your value or what you can bring to the table. So, I said you know most people, I'm going to I'm going to start saying, you know, mine was going to be 150. We're going to do, you know, it's going to cost you 150 dollars for us to come out and do an estimate. We'll give you a 10 or 15-page report line item everything. But if you're going to be there, we would be happy to do it for nothing. Yeah, you're exactly right. People who do not want to be at a job, now, if they're in Boston and they're buying a house down here in Charles, I get it.   Yeah that's a different time, I do that a lot of times, too.   Yeah, but if they're like: No no no just go. Just go figure it out. It's like no no no that's not how this works. I want to-- I want to look at you, I want to talk to you or Schumann’s. I want to hear what you want. Because guess what? I can give you that estimate and you weren't here. And then all of a sudden, you'll come back and go "Oh that's not what I wanted". Well, that's funny because you weren't here. Yeah.     So. So and you know, one thing I've come across when it comes to estimates, and this is getting outside of the no cost construction process, but I think when you do give these estimates, contractors please be aware of this. The devil is in the details. You cannot be over descriptive in your estimate and a lot of times, it's going to cover your butt big time. Some contractors think, well some contractors think if they're vague, they can hide numbers. No no no. You should never do that. You shouldn't be line item by line item. Like an inspection report. I've written up an estimate that is a 102-line item estimate before. And it killed me to do it. But guess what? The client was able to chew every bit of that off and it said replace fan, customer supplies the fan. There was never a question if they said oh I didn't know I had to supply the fan that estimate you accepted and said it it's on paper. It's cost. Sorry. So yeah. And then and that's in reality. I know we're you know off the subject, but it goes to the value, is that you're creating your value by making those line items. Because, you know, just like last time I was in a post the other day so I'm going to do a thing and you know how come. How do you charge-- I can't charge fifty dollars an hour to paint? And I'm like why are you charging by the hour? First of all. I said it's not in the painting-- it's in the details.   Tell them what you're going to do? What are you going to print? What are you going to do? Are you going to move? What are you going to clean? What are you going to cover? You know what are you going to-- How many coats of paint? What are you going to put back? Are you going to vacuum up after? See, because it's not about to paint, anybody can paint.   Yeah. It's about getting through the process from the beginning-- of moving the furniture and you make it as labor intensive as possible in your wording. So, they are going to say "Damn! I don't want to do that. I had a guy come in and do it. "   Yeah it's funny, it's like you never. One of the best examples of my own business that I had happened one time, and it never happened again was back to the painting thing. You know, I always tell clients look if you're going to say money anywhere sure you can pay. Are you going to be good at it? Probably not, but if you're if you painted it you're going to be satisfied with your paint job, right? Because you pay somebody.   But the thing that I did, I remember one time the customer came to me and said we were building a affricate. It was like doing some moldings or something and they said "we'll paint we'll paint the molding will do the walls everything."   I said No problem. Took that paint line item off, got done. Get done with the job I'm coming to get a final payment. And they're like "Uhh, yes so it says--or not it says-- they said there's nail holes and it needs to get caught in all this other stuff and I got out. That's the painter’s problem. That was my line item said paint included. Call me a hole feel everything. You're on that. They're like "No, my dad told me Bubba". And I don't care what your dad said. You're being lazy and trying to save money. I'm not coming back to do that if I'm not going to be painting, right? So that was an example of when, and I still to this day have clients who want to paint them alone, And I'm very specific. I have a thing that says client understands they will call Phil Nail hole bla bla.   So, well I ended up-- usually nobody likes to do that. So, I ended up usually I paint. You know, quote was just for simplicity you know six hundred dollars. I'm like "oh yeah". Three hundred of profit. You get that work back and its good money maker. You don't lose all of them just doing all that. But that's we're getting back to the estimates. That saves me a lot of the times. It saves me in being able to go back and reference and say I don't remember that. Well, that's fair or you might not have remembered that, but do you remember reading the estimate into my contract? Because that's gospel. And that's what we're going by. And it says. You're filling the nail holes. And so, you may get somebody wants to debate to the Kalkbrenner tone about that, but they can't debate what's on paper what they sign. So, it's like whatever at the end of the day. So that's where estimate. It can be helpful in that and in the sense of having it line item down like that. Cooley. So, let's go back to let's go back to the Realtors for a moment.   Now, when you picked out your realtor, because you were just starting out in business you just went and you just picked out the realtors in your area. And the ones that you-- that got the just the ones in your area that you felt that it would be out. Because you're just looking for business. But now, how would you do it?   Yeah I think when I was first doing it, I didn't really care. To be honest. I think I looked up realtors and Charleston and I didn't-- I wasn't looking like reviews, right? Because reviews on a realty agency doesn't tell about the individuals that you just said somebody to a good experience. So, you can't use that.   But, for one thing-- I mean different realty companies are predominant in certain areas. Carolina, one is big here. As an example--excuse me-- but you may have Century 21 or provincial or somewhere in your area. So just be cognizant when you're driving around. Who do you see a lot of the signs for? That means they probably have a lot of agents that's a good place. But, even more simple than that. I just zoned in through a Google search and started plugging away. I just went to the Web sites and started going into it. If I was doing it nowadays, I would still probably take the same approach because you will find the gems inside of the gems being the real estate agents inside of different agencies.   So, I've had bad experiences with agents at one Realty and also great ones at the same ones. Your kind of, you know, weave your path and there's a lot of good agents at bad Realty. So, don't forget also to don't overlook the more boutique firms that aren't with these national brands. They may be more centralized to local-- the local area. Those sometimes are good because they are Neish or a specialty boutique agency that deals sometimes in a lot more high-quality contracts for you. So, you know you may be going from five hundred thousand-dollar houses to the one point five million dollar range or what not.   So, they're all valid.   Yeah, I'm looking up for upscale realtors. So, you know, five hundred-- I don't know, what's your average house is sold for up there. I know you are premises historic places it is kind of pricey. Well, it's funny because it does. That's such a loaded question. Like everybody else. In what area of town, you live in?   Well, it is. But I mean, Charleston is an expensive town as a whole. We have Kiawah Island but Oprah and a bunch of people live 30 minutes from here. So, there's 22 million-dollar houses there, right? That's kind of skewed that a little bit. But, we also have downtown where the houses are in anywhere between 11 to 15-million-dollar range. But to answer your question, on average, you're probably looking at 450 to five hundred thousand dollars. About the average sale price for a home here and then as you get to barrier islands or isn't on the water. And that could skew greatly. But yeah in general that's about the price.   So really, so let's talk to you guys out there you can niche it to any anywhere you want. You want five hundred thousand, you come from working with five hundred thousand homeowners, come from working with million-dollar homeowners. And those are realtors you want to target. Yeah. And keep in mind that if you're looking for inspection reports and little knickknacky stuff to do to start with. But you-- that is a different-- when you deal with a client who owns the one point five-million-dollar house, there is a whole different kind of line of thinking and business that you just can't, you can't do it half butt. How about that?   Yeah, if you're sorted out, don't go there.   Yeah, don't go there built into that. And then you know, and then you'll be successful.   Right. So that's been cool. It's really been awesome. Yeah, I know some of the things that we used to do, because there's a painting company we would do a lot. We would do a little bit of repairs that didn't need permits stuff like that. And what we would do is, when we went back, you know, when the homeowner comes back to do other things like other painting jobs after they bought the house, what we would do is we would just write a note to the realtor. Say "Hey just so you can put it in your file. You know, Bob and Susie just had their house painted and such and such a date so they can put in their files". So there.   So, because I'm becoming a team member for that realtor. Let them know what's going on so that when they-- if they're playing their cards right, realtor, and keeping in touch with their clients. They're going to sell their house again but they'll have a portfolio. We know you get this done in this town and this done. So, we're in good shape. We know you don't have to do that.   Exactly. Exactly.   This has been awesome!   Yeah appreciate it. Thanks for letting me do round.    No, it's really cool because it's nice to talk to somebody who's in the trenches, has done the things, made the mistakes and bounced back from to actually turn those mistakes into successes. So that's really what makes us successful. It's just bouncing back from our mistakes or things-- tweaking things as we go along because there's-- I mean it's come on, to say that you can become successful by doing the one thing is a phenomenon. Let's put it that way. Yeah it's the one thing that I'm most proud about is that when I got into this, I didn't act like I knew everything. And you know, just like the listeners, you can you can read, you can listen, get advice from other people, ask questions, learn along the way, learn from your mistakes, but continue to evolve. And I promise you, if you keep your head down and your nose clean and you do it the right way, you will find success in the end. So, to everybody listening, keep your heads up and keep a positive attitude about it you'll be successful.   Absolutely.

There are astrophysicists who study life on mars.  specifically, the prospects of detecting life on mars.  Zach Weinersmith Joins Catherine Neish and Briony Horgan  and we talk about LIFE ON MARSSSSS!!!

Patrick Mchale makes his triumphant return to the show! Astrophysicists Catherine Neish and Brian Jackson explain how planets form around stars, and why the planets we see around other stars are so weird.

Few people have taken as deep of a dive into the licensing side of sports. Jim Neish talks about his passions, especially on the differential between good branding and actually knowing what you're talking about. Neish talks about how merchandise and logo variations can help or hinder a franchise's revenue success, down to the utter complexity of what colors are used. Neish discusses some of the prevalent attitudes when it comes to building, maintaining and keeping a powerful legacy brand like the Toronto Maple Leafs. Twitter: @JWN16

Teachers take things from an unrefined state to a point where they are wonderous. Poets are apt at describing both of these. This episode of TiPhy aims to teach genius poet Taylor Mali about where the planets in our solar system came from. Taylor's time with us was a little short, and our conversation broached many topics. listen after the end music to hear some crazy conversations. My physicists are Catherine and Dave!

"Conceiving my heart as gutter broke,  my sweet love grants me a boon, and  joy rose up, grey billowing smoke, smoke like swirls on the moon"  -no quality poem ever. So back when i started the show I sent Catherine an email. She's always been one of my most gifted astronomy friends. I said "hey, give me a topic for the show." I expected her to say like "variable stars that wobble because of acoustic waves" or something. she said "lunar swirls". i said "I'll get back to you".  Anyway. she persisted.  i gave in. and we put together a show about SWIRLS ON THE MOON.  apparently there are swirls on the moon. and they're AWESOME. So my experts today are Catherine Neish and Sebastien Besse. and we explain everything to Jordan Harbinger, who hosts the Pickup Podcast. Life is fun.  

Kevin Neish was detained in Israel for two days after the Free Gaza Flotilla was attacked and activists arrested. In this podcast he talks about his release and what activism means.

In his first interview since being released from Israeli detention, a Canadian activist from the Free Gaza Flotilla activist describes seeing solidarity in the face of death, and what happened when the Israeli military took control of the humanitarian aid ship and arrested those on board. Kevin Neish tells his story to the media for the first time in this episode of rabble radio. Part of the interview is excerpted here: Meagan Perry: Hello Kevin Neish, we're so glad you're okay. Kevin Neish: Hello there…I'm, well I didn't realize I was dead but …I'm glad I'm not dead. I mean I was kind of surprised…needless to say, everybody thought I was dead. MP: There are varying reports about what had happened… KN: It seems ask anybody who wasn't in jail or you could get ahold of saw me was at the front of the ship along the handrailing talking to a colleague in the moonlight… beautiful evening. And that was the spot that I guess several people were murdered earlier on in the fighting and they thought I was one of them and that I'd been pitched over the side by the Israelis or something. So yeah the Israelis knew I was alive but weren't telling anybody and I asked for my rights to the embassy I bet you 20 times. So the embassy actually found me because the prisoners were all in Be'er Sheva and they literally just went from cell to cell calling out my name asking anybody if anybody had seen me and nobody had seen me. I think they came to almost the last place I think… and they called me out and I stepped out and their jaws dropped. The rest is history. MP: So nobody knew what had happened to you…what did happen to you? KN: What happened from that spot on the front deck. I think that was about midnight. I think the attack happened around 4:00 a.m. in the morning, I didn't check my watch. What happened was I took a little wander around after chatting with the friend there…I saw the Israeli ships in the distance. I've got colour blindness partially and I've got really good night vision because of that so I actually pointed out to the Turkish aid workers: “See those identical lights way off in the horizon” and they squint and say: “Probably the Israelis” and everbody got their life jackets on except me and they were quite concerned that I didn't have my life jacket on yet because I didn't take it seriously. You know,the Israelis they wouldn't attack us, a ship full of civilians. It just wasn't going to happen…I told them so and they thought I was nuts and they were right, I was nuts. They had wooden stakes and wooden handles of things, and they had pipes and they had links of chain — small chain, you could lock up a bike with. Across along the front railing, the teak railing on the front of the ship, was lined with old rusty pipe fittings and nuts and bolts, the size of a walnut… things like that. This is madness, I said what are you going to do with nuts and bolts you're throwing at the most sophisticated army in the world. After that, I thought nothing was going to happen, I thought well I'm going to go down and put my feet up and have a few hours sleep and start off fresh when daylight comes. But I woke up because of all the noise, and what not, not the attack but people doing things. I heard grinders going which was bothering me and it turned out they were grinding the chains that they hang up around the lifeboat stations. They were grinding these chains off the middle posts as weapons within sight of the Israelis coming…and that's all they had. MP: As a peace activist, what were your feelings about everyone preparing to fight back? KN: They had every right to do it. Well peace activist, I'm not a pacifist, I'll defend myself if someone attacks me. What woke me up was flash grenades about 15 feet from the back of the ship. There were a huge explosions and flashes and then it was just a big cloud of tear gas and I could see people running through the tear gas with gas masks on because they had brought a large collection of gas masks, brand new ones. And again, I thought it was silly, at one point, I saw them putting these things on. So that happened and I mistakenly thought I was safer on the big ship a) because I thought the big ship would get through to Gaza because it was such a big ship. I thought what could they do to such a big ship like that and I thought for sure the small ships would get picked off and they were picked off. They were shut down immediately, no resistance. Even the freighters were shut down, they had very small crews. At the end they made a combined effort on the main ship and that's when all hell broke loose. MP: What did you see then? KN: I saw dead bodies. I saw captured Israeli soldiers, I saw men fighting machine guns with three foot length of chain. It was phenomenal. When the flash grenades went off at the back I took note of what was happening there but I didn't approach it I backed off and just took note of what they were doing. They were hauling fire hoses out and what not. After the fact I found out that the firehoses actually worked. The Israelis backed off. They had zodiacs and speed boats with grapples trying to climb up the side of the ship. The firehoses and I guess the nuts and bolts actually drove the Israelis off. At the same time they had commandos coming down from helicopters over top. So I moved and took photographs went up and down the stairs following people and being of whatever assistance, witnessing and helping with things if I could. I was actually when they hauled the captured Israeli soldiers in. I can't imagine how these young fellas with all the weapons you could possibly want, how these commandos got captured by humanitarian aid workers. As far as what I saw, when it started I took photographs of this landing and they had a tarp for one person, an IV pole and a nurse and a doctor and basic instruments for medical emergency care. And in the end that whole area was full of bodies. There was people pounding on people's chests trying to bring people back. I saw for sure two people dead — there were two bullet holes, very neat; and I think one other guy died in front of me, he was sucking wind and his eyes were going, going, going. And there was blood, blood all down the stairs, blood everywhere. I got blood on my pants and boots. It was something else. I haven't seen any reports, I've seen nothing but I've heard the Israelis are saying that they attacked because they were shot at from the ship and that's a bald faced lie. Unless I missed something pretty dramatic somewhere, I heard no weapons fired, nobody else heard weapons fired. What I heard was the flash grenades and the tear gas of the start of the Israelis attacking. And then the helicopters started shooting onto the deck and that's when I started to hear gun fire from up above. MP: What was it like in detention when you got there? KN: Eventually, an announcement came over the air from the captain because the Israelis got to the bridge because they'd shot the people that were defending the bridge, and the captain surrendered the ship and he got onto the PA system immediately I guess because there was still fighting at the doorways and then the announcement came over the air in Arabic but I knew what it was because there was no other announcement, I knew what it meant…it was a very calm voice. Then a female voice came on announcing in English that everybody stop fighting, stop resisting, the bridge is seized, the Israelis have command of the ship, there's no sense risking your lives anymore, go to the lounges and drop your weapons — you know, weapons drop your pipes and chains and wooden staffs. I just retreated with all the other arab and turkish folks. I sat where I was before, near the back of the ship and there were Israelis peeking in the windows but they wouldn't come in and the woman's voice kept on coming over saying “Israeli soldiers please please stop shooting, we're not resisting anymore, we've released your captured soldiers. They're unharmed and they're released. Please stop attacking us.” Eventually the Israelis, the soldiers, [Haneen Zoubi] she's an Arab Israeli Knesset member, she's in big shit, she's in jail right now, it's simple they took away her immunity so they can do whatever they want to her now. She acted as a liason, brave woman, she walked right out with her hands up because anyone who was standing, was a target, basically. She had her hands up and she came forward and explained that there were numerous injured. When that all happened they took us and hogtied us with plastic tie wraps behind our backs and marshalled us all up onto the open deck. There were 280 of us all tied up. MP: Where did they take you? What did they do with you? KN: They left us there for quite a while and you couldn't move. Talk about stress positions…you hogtie someone behind their back and force them to sit on their knees or on their ass, however they're first put down and not move, you didn't move. Eventually you'd start to hurt and try to wriggle around and then you'd get yelled and screamed at. There were two young, big strapping guys and I guess they had had enough of being humiliated, and being abused. They rose up and immediately you could see, the sun was coming up, the soldiers charging through the people on the grounds with their guns up. And these guys were toast so I got up… it made the Israelis stop because they knew who I was. They had my passport and they gave it back to me and they took 4,000 bucks of my friggin' money but yeah, we won't get into that….so yeah I stood up with these two guys hoping that the Israelis would pause and consider, not shoot and they didn't… the guns went down but yelling carried on…then next they used batons to beat them down. Then these two guys, I guess they'd made their point, and they kind of gracefully eased down and when they eased down I dropped pretty quickly…

As you've probably heard the Israeli Navy has intercepted an multinational flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. At least ten activists were killed in the conflict, and many more wounded. All the other activists have been taken into custody by the Israeli Government. There are no Canadian ships in the flotilla, but that doesn't mean there weren't any Canadians aboard. Kevin Neish is a peace activist who was on the ship to act as a human shield. We haven't been able to reach Kevin since the ships were attacked, but we spoke to him on Friday as he was walking to the harbor to board his ship.  Kevin Neish is a Canadian peace activist. We reached him on Friday as he was walking to the port to board his ship, part of the Free Gaza Flotilla carrying aid and humanitarian supplies to Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli siege there. Rabble radio will continue to try to get in touch with Neish, and update the program when we do.
