Erika Sanger, Executive Director of the Museum Association of New York (MANY), is balancing the desire and need to re-open with the reality of a national health crisis.  In this conversation, we talk about how she’s led museums to navigate this difficult time by offering information, resources, and virtual meet ups. We also cover the economic realities that museums face: in New York state, museum’s are losing $3.5 million a day. More reopening resources are available on my website: http://emily-kotecki.com/podcast.

Welcome back, everyone. I’m working hard to make each episode very informative and get great guests that bring something unique to the table. I go for quality over quantity. I love having guests with new messages and insights that we haven’t heard before, and Dr. Tro is one of these great sources of information. People have been requesting a weight loss journey - someone who’s actually lost a ton of weight themselves. Not only did Dr. Tro lose 150 pounds, but he’s a… you guessed it… doctor. He helps people figure out how to transform their body and health on a daily basis. This is real world application here, people.   There’s so many sides to this stuff and the psychology behind eating (and more importantly overeating) is huge. He knows a lot about what it means to be obese and make these changes and make them last. He was 350 pounds 3 years ago and has kept off the weight despite the usual statistics of 97% of people just putting it back on. This was no easy feat and if you haven’t seen a photo of him, he’s actually pretty ripped.   We start off with some social media controversy about a post I made that rubbed some people with food addiction the wrong way. The episode is about so much more than that, so keep listening and I think there’s huge value for anyone and everyone in this episode.   Once again, I have to talk about the Food Lies film Indiegogo campaign. Basically all podcasts have sponsors to pay the bills. My film is this sponsor. I’ve turned down other sponsors and could be making quite a bit based on the expanding audience of the show. I’d really rather not do this so please support the film if you’re enjoying the podcast and the lack of annoying ads. This film is my baby and I’ve spent an immeasurable amount of my time and own money on it. I know it will all be worth it when it’s completed, so please help me get there. Go to FoodLies.org to click through to the Indiegogo campaign or click on the link in the show notes. Thanks so much and here’s Dr. Tro.   http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post   Show Notes I made a remark on social media that was supposed to be motivational and ended up backfiring Food addiction is something Dr. Tro knows a lot about Controversial topic - Dr. Robert Lustig has a book on it http://www.robertlustig.com/hacking/ Is you buy and eat the correct food you shouldn’t be hungry all the time I have my own food addiction - once I start eating I can’t stop His wife had to hide food from him He didn’t know why his appetite was so messed up I wrote the post under the context of it being inspirational and that people who follow my accounts would understand what I’m talking about and what foods they should be eating He thought he was “meant” to be obese. That it was his genetics. His family was all overweight This was reinforced in medical school where they taught him that it was genetic 75% of patients he sees for weight issues have a history of childhood trauma People don’t even realize how much they’re eating If you’re eating processed foods stuffed with carbs and sugar it’s basically impossible to be full Even nutritionists and doctors don’t know how much they really eat - when asked they are off by 20% Satiety is the most important thing we need to be talking about - some people don’t even realize different foods provide different satiety Liquid calories are enemy #1 Layne Norton and bodybuilders are way different than the normal person Counting calories doesn’t work - we have calories listed everywhere for decades, we have My Fitness Pal, it's plainly obvious it doesn't work Our bodies don’t have a calorie receptor to know how much we have eaten or need to eat When glycemia shifts (blood sugar up then down) you're going to be hungry He levels out their blood sugar with a LCHF diet. Can do it whole foods plant based if the patient has that personal preference Low fat approach not good in long term because it knocks down hormones like CCK and neuropeptide YY Once you’re fat adapted you're not beholden to food for energy A lot of hunger is just mental at this point - you have hundreds of thousands of calories of fat stored on your body you can use Cortisol makes you hungry and your blood sugar to swing Part of helping people to lose weight is coaching them on what to do in times of stress He advises people to just eat protein and fat if they’re hungry in the early stages - they can build up to being more strict later. They also will be full for hours after eating the right foods. Anything to avoid the donut He can eat 3 pounds of meat at once - overeat his satiety signaling Hyper palatability comes when you add sugar + fat Formerly or currently obese have large stomach volumes and need more tools to not overeat and be full He doesn't recommend a lot of vegetables and fiber but it has its place to fill the stomach from a volume perspective He didn’t know this before. None of the other doctors or nutritionists around him knew it either We’ve all been given useless and bogus advice on weight loss for the past 50 years There’s not only 1 way to do things If one of his obese binge eating patients gets told by a conventional dietician to eat a portion-controlled low-fat diet it's a setup for complete failure He’s totally against myplate.gov - conventional advice didn’t help him and won’t help anyone that comes to see him On all conventional diets: “instead of telling people how to be full, they’re telling people how to be hungry” He puts his health program online for anyone to see and has virtual visits and programs http://doctortro.com He’s also opening a brick and mortar clinic in New York Many people claim to not like beef - I think it’s because of all the propaganda against it all these years. They think it’s bad for them deep down and can’t get over it People also say they don’t feel well on a low carb diet - they probably just aren't fat adapted yet. The keto flu can be bad Just because fat is good doesn't mean you can eat unlimited amounts of it Reasons for stalls: carb creep, fat creep, or alcohol Need to learn to cook in a framework One reason carnivore probably works is through restricting foods. If you restrict anything people tend to eat 25% less His story of losing 150 pounds without exercising much and then training for a 5k with barely any carbs Layne Norton is talking about pop tarts and bro scientists are talking about how you have to have carbs for your brain or for energy Dr. Tro went from the worst at 99th percentile to the top 1% percentile in the 5K without any carbs He was fasting 20+ hours per day for the last 6 months and his bench, squat, and deadlift all went up 99.5% of athletes don’t need carbohydrates. Maybe if you’re a professional and elite athlete they could help Had Luis Villasenor on season 2 who is a giant muscular guy and doesn't eat carbs Dr. Tro went to the science and found low carb - don’t understand why guys like Layne Norton call people low carb zealots In an ad libitum free living setting (which is how every single one of us live are life) low carbs diets consistently outperform low fat diets Layne Norton’s flexible dieting and “if it fits your macros” is in no way science based yet he constantly talks about how he’s all about the science Every other diet he dismisses and disses is based on science except his   Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies Sapien Movement: http://SapienMovement.com   Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg   Theme music by https://kylewardmusic.com/

Full Show Notes at: https://www.pencilkings.com/podcast-home/ “It doesn’t have to be perfect to be done. You can always rework it.” ~ Katie Buckleitner. Want to become a magazine designer or illustrator but don’t know where to start? In this week’s interview, we hear how Katie Buckleitner landed her dream job as a digital designer for one of the world’s most iconic publications, Cosmopolitan Magazine, in New York. You’ll hear how she worked on her skills and transitioned into graphic design after initially studying fine art at college, and you’ll find out how you can do the same by developing standout personal projects to put in your portfolio. And, you’ll get a fascinating insight into the fast-paced world of a leading magazine and what it’s really like to work in this exciting environment. Interview Chapters [00:38-02:10] Introduction and Overview Your host, Mitch Bowler, introduces today’s guest, Katie Buckleitner, a digital designer for Cosmopolitan Magazine in New York. In this chapter, she talks about her background as an artist and designer, including the previous work experience which led up to Katie landing her dream job.   [02:19-02:39] What Does the Creative Industry Mean to Katie? The ‘creative industry’ is a broad term that encompasses many different areas, including fine art, graphic design, illustration, video games and much, much more. But how does Katie define the industry in her own terms...and how does she feel to be a part of it? [02:53-03:05] Did Katie Always Work as a Digital Designer? These days, Katie’s duties involve designing cool stuff specifically for online publication. But did she always work in this area...or did she cut her teeth working as a print designer beforehand? [03:22-03:41] What’s it Like to Land Your Dream Job as a Designer in New York? On paper, Katie’s job sounds ideal. But what’s it live and work in New York...and how does it feel to be part of the team on the number-one young women’s magazine in the world? [03:59-04:48 ] How Did Katie Get Started in her Career? Katie has landed her dream job at Cosmo, but how did she get started as an artist? In this chapter, you’ll hear how her earlier experiences as a fine art student and keen interest in fashion eventually led to her becoming a digital designer. [05:43-19:14] Did Katie Have a Job Lined up Before Moving to New York? Many young artists and designers dream of moving to a big city such as New York and finding their dream role. But does it really ever work out like that? In this chapter, Katie reveals why she took the decision to move to the ‘big apple’...and why the advice of her art tutors in college turned out to be right after all. [06:12-09:20] How Long did it Take Katie to Find her Dream job? Finding her dream job didn’t happen immediately for Katie. In fact, it was only after months of applying that she found her position at Cosmo. In this chapter, she reveals what she thinks helped her land this role...and how you can take the same steps in your own creative career by having a portfolio that gets you noticed. [10:02-11:36] What has Katie Learned From Working on Personal Projects? Although Katie started out as a fine artist, her portfolio gradually developed to incorporate many of the design elements which also interest her. So what did she learn from working on personal projects...and how can doing this help you build a varied portfolio, too? [12:48-13:55] How is Being a Designer Different to Being a Fine Artist? Although fine art and graphic design fall under the same banner of ‘creative careers’, there are lots of differences between these two areas. In this section, you’ll hear how Katie switched from one to the other, but why she still loves to wind down after a hard day at the computer by picking up her sketchbook and pencil. [14:06-14:47] How Does Katie Find Time to Work on Personal Projects? Like many of us, Katie sometimes feels drained after a day in the office and doesn’t always have the mental energy to start working on personal projects. However, she gets around this by motivating herself to do paintings as gifts for friends, or pursuing her other passion for interior design. So, if you work a 9-5 and often find yourself lacking in motivation for making art, this chapter should give you some good ideas to incorporate into your regular lifestyle. [15:21-19:50] Did Katie aim for a Particular Style in her Portfolio? When you’re putting together your portfolio, you might wonder if you should be producing work in a particular style to get noticed. In this chapter, Katie explains why she feels her love of infographics and attention to design principles such as visual hierarchy helped her create a body of work which stood out from the rest. And, in this section, you’ll hear why many of these principles are such a key part of her current role as a digital designer. [20:03-22:53] What Does a Typical day Working at Cosmopolitan Look Like? As the number-one magazine in the world for young women, it’s safe to say an average day working at Cosmopolitan can get pretty busy. In this chapter, Katie describes what her day looks like as digital designer and gives you a fascinating insight into a world of deadlines, huge amounts of content, and having a great team of people to work with. [23:03-23:43] What’s Next for Katie? Where does Katie see her career moving in future? In this chapter, she talks about her current interests (such as photoshoots and art direction), and how she can see herself moving forward to incorporate these into her job in the future. [23:44-25:38] Conclusion Mitch wraps up today’s interview with Katie Buckleitner and tells you where to see more of her work online.

With the impact of social media and the ability to get instant feedback from your audience and fanbase, an important question for artists to consider is “What are you willing to compromise?” If the majority of your followers don’t find your new experimental process or project interesting or if they go so far as giving you negative feedback, what do you do? Do you give in to popular opinion or do you follow your convictions? This problem is unique to the issue of having your artwork exposed to the public via social media. Artist John Wentz and I spent time going deep into this subject during our conversation. He has some great points to address when considering the level of engagement an artist should have with their digital audience given the difficulties that can arise. Social Media and the inability to Slow Down One of the drawbacks to living in such an increasingly modernized and advanced society is the impact of social media on our ability to slow down. Every spare moment can be filled by pulling out that smartphone and checking Facebook or Twitter. Can you imagine how this has impacted the way we think and process what should be quite moments in our lives? Consider the implications of not being able to slow down and be present, that can drastically change the creative and artistic process. My guest, John Wentz believes that the impact of social media has distracted us in more ways than we realize. He says that we need to be vigilant of this influence and work intentionally to create those spaces, especially as artists, to be present and at peace in mundanity and stillness. Appropriation vs. Influence What is the difference between appropriating art and being influenced by it? What does it mean to understand, appreciate, and respect someone's artwork and genuinely let it influence you without appropriating it? Artist John Wentz devoted some time in our conversation to this topic and how he sees it’s impact on the art world. He focused more on the meaning behind the use of an individual who sees work they resonate with and tries to incorporate that into what they are trying to create. John also posits the idea that maybe social media is the new art and we are more of a hive mind now rather than when we use to operate more as individuals. Our conversation was a fascinating one that I thoroughly enjoyed and I know you will too! The benefit of stepping away How do you take care of yourself creatively, emotionally, mentally, etc.? What is your plan to avoid burning out and getting turned off of the work that you do? If you don’t have one in place, it might be a good time to consider creating a plan to help you recharge. Artist John Wentz spoke with me about a recent period in his life where he was able to step away from painting and take a two-month break. John speaks of this break from the creative process as being extremely helpful and rejuvenating. He found that when he was able to step away for a period of time when he returned to his work at the easel, he was able to really reconnect to his inner place of motivation. The Draw of New York Many artists find themselves drawn to the city of New York. There are a number of factors involved with this draw, from the dense population to the history, and even the iconic nature of the city, what’s not to love? John Wentz devotes a large portion of his current work that is being shown in galleries to the city of New York. He tries not to be too “heady” with the concepts that he puts forth but you can tell in our conversation that his passion and fascination with city really shines through. I was able to really connect with John on this note because he mentioned that he enjoyed just sitting back in Union Square and watching people go by all day long.
