Podcast appearances and mentions of Nicole C Kear

Break out the 3D dolphin posters and crank up the Pink Floyd, baby, because things are about to get trippy and it's important to set the tone.    This episode Grace is taking you down the k-hole of psychedelic research. She's exploring the benefits of ketamine and psilocybin treatment, how hallucinogens work to create new thought patterns in the brain, what the future of psychedelic therapy might hold for people with treatment-resistant disorders, how much kids love ketamine, and more.    Plus, Kristin suffers from little sister syndrome and embarks on a new chicken adventure, Grace has a phrogger in the attic and possibly ghosts, and we both share embarrassing ADHD moments and sneaky Pizza Secrets among friends.

Brian Weisfeld has been building businesses his entire life. In elementary school, he bought 95 pounds of gummy bears and hired my friends to sell them. As a teen, he made and sold mixtapes (ask your parents what those are), sorted baseball cards (he got paid in cards), babysat four-days-a-week after school, and sold nuts and dried fruit (and more gummy bears) in a neighborhood store. As an adult, he has helped build a number of well-known billion-dollar companies including IMAX Corporation and Coupons.com. Then he watched his oldest daughter struggle to sell Girl Scout cookies and he also became frustrated with some of the less-than-empowering influences he saw for his two girls. So he bought a copy of Writing Children's Books for Dummies and decided to write a novel series to inspire girls to open their first lemonade stands or other businesses and to empower them with an entrepreneurial mindset. He is the Founder and Chief Squad Officer of The Startup Squad, an initiative dedicated to empowering girls to realize their potential and follow their dreams, whatever their passion. The Startup Squad is his first book and is co-authored with Nicole C. Kear. Brian lives in Silicon Valley and can often be found eating gummy bears with his wife while watching his two daughters sell lemonade from the end of our driveway. Now, hear his take on the Essential 11 questions.

Nicole Kear was 19 when she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative condition that, at the time it was discovered, was chipping away at her peripheral and night vision and would, she was told, result in more and more loss of vision over the years. Your life is going to change dramatically, her doctor told her; start planning now. So, as she writes in her new memoir, Now I See You, she made a huge effort to keep her deteriorating eyesight a secret from all but those closest to her for years. We talk about why motherhood led her to abandon that strategy, why it was still difficult to fully embrace the situation... and what it's like now that the whole world knows.

Jane and TWO guest hosts, Sharod MacDowel and Clara Cross, discuss book news and the so-called BDSM lifestyle of Fifty Shades of Grey. Books Mentioned: Now I See You by Nicole C. Kear, Seconds by Bryan Lee O’Malley, The She-Hulk Diaries by Marta Acosta, Geek Life by Katherine Dunn,Whispers in Darkness (Lovecraft Erotica), A Kiss from Krampus, Madeline Dehywis, A Diary of a Sex-Fiend: by Abby Lee, Different Loving: The World of Sexual Dominance & Submission by Gloria and William Brame and Jon Jacobs For more information and shownotes go to: dibtbpodcast.blogspot.com
