In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Craig Bergman, a legendary Hall of Fame coach and athletic director who spent more than 30 years mentoring thousands of young men and women at Monte Vista High School in Northern California. Craig had a front-row seat to the cultural shift that reshaped an entire generation. In this candid, unvarnished conversation, they look directly at what is happening to our kids, our parenting culture, and our future workforce: The Outsourcing of Presence: Why parents in affluent communities spend thousands on private swing coaches, personal trainers, and travel clubs—while Craig could count on one hand how many times in 30 years he saw a father casually playing catch with his child on the school fields. The Death of Consequences: How eliminating failure through endless test retakes, excused late work, and parents calling to negotiate playing time is creating fragile, anxious young adults unprepared for the friction of the real world. The Sports Sanctum: Why the athletic field remains one of the last remaining environments where standards are non-negotiable, excuses don’t play, and real accountability still exists. The Art of the Pivot: What Craig learned playing under Larry Smith, Dick Tomey, and Lute Olson at the University of Arizona—and why the defining mark of a successful life is total commitment, regardless of the scoreboard. Whether you are leading an organization, managing a team, or raising the next generation, this episode is an urgent wake-up call on stewardship, authentic authority, and the lost value of constructive struggle.

SHOW NOTES: CRAIG BERGMAN: BIO: Craig Bergman spent more than thirty (30) years on the front lines of high school education and athletics at Monte Vista High School in Northern California—serving as athletic director, physical education instructor, boys golf coach, and head varsity football coach, where he amassed 150 victories, three championship titles, and sent players to the collegiate and NFL ranks while maintaining a team GPA above 3.0. He had a front-row seat as smartphones swept the locker rooms and sidelines, and he was there when the district took the bold step of banning them completely. https://mvhs.srvusd.net/Athletics/Hall-of-Fame/Hall-of-Fame-2019/Craig-Bergman/index.html https://www.mvhsrecordbook.com/coaches/craig-bergman-dca80853 Sports podcast hosted by Craig Bergman’s good friend, former long-term KNBR SportsTalk host Tom Tolbert.

Everyone wants to talk about AI, but my guest this week would rather talk about people. Heather Simpson spent years in real estate building brokerages and personal brands for agents before making a hard pivot to build something for women entrepreneurs specifically. Today she runs Her Connection Hub, a coworking and community space in the Pacific Northwest, and she is expanding into Northern California. We got into why she thinks too many people are outsourcing their thinking, the gap she saw between hustle culture and the "make a million from the beach" crowd, and what actually separates the women who win from the ones who stall out. We also had a real conversation about sacrifice, about what it costs a mother to go after something bigger, and about how she is adapting a physical business in a challenging 2026 economy. Heather uses AI for systems, never for her voice, and honestly I think that is where the smart operators are landing. If you are a builder who feels wired for more, this one is for you. About Heather: Heather Simpson is a business strategist, community builder, and the founder of Her Connection Hub, a female-focused coworking community in Bellingham, Washington. Simpson began offering monthly Connection Breakfasts in 2018, and they proved to be the catalyst for something much bigger. The events resonated deeply with attendees, who then voiced their desire for a physical coworking space, and so Simpson turned that dream into a reality with Her Connection Hub, which opened to the public in 2021. Before building for entrepreneurs, Heather spent years in real estate helping agents develop their brands and helping launch brokerages. She is also the founder of She Leads Me, a company devoted to supporting women on their individual journeys in their lives, careers, and businesses. She hosts the podcast Shatter This, a show for leaders, founders, and builders who are done outsourcing their thinking and ready to create what actually lasts. Her first book, Shattering Glass, is coming soon.

Send us Fan MailA tomato vine on a scrap-wood fence. A few chickens underfoot. And right there in the same Northern California garden, cannabis thriving in the exact same soil. That image unlocks a bigger truth: cannabis didn't grow up as a separate cultural timeline. It rose beside the American organic food movement, driven by the same questions about trust, chemicals, and who gets to decide what's “safe” to put in our bodies.I walk through the roots of that shift, starting with Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and the growing suspicion of industrial farming. From there, we head into the back-to-the-land era, when thousands of people left cities to grow their own food, build co-ops, share techniques, and opt out of systems they no longer believed in. In Northern California's Emerald Triangle, that mindset often meant one homestead, two crops: vegetables for the table and cannabis for the pipe, tended by the same hands with the same compost and the same values.We also name the messy parts. Cannabis becomes an income source for many communities. Organic and cannabis both go mainstream, and regulation brings real benefits in consistency and safety, while also turning living philosophies into labels, packaging, and premium markups. I bring it back to the kitchen where it belongs: if you've ever felt that back-to-the-land spark while making infused butter, dialing in your dose, or choosing your own ingredients for homemade edibles and topicals, you're part of a much longer story than you might realize.If you enjoy food history, cannabis education, and practical home cooking for edibles, hit subscribe, share this with a friend who grows something, and leave a review so more curious cooks can find the show.The map you need to start making great edibles in easy, digestible lessons.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the peace you're searching for is already closer than you think?In this deeply moving conversation, I'm joined by spiritual teacher Asha Nayaswami,to explore inner peace, meditation, spiritual awakening, consciousness and self-realisation, drawing on more than 50 years of living and teaching the principles rooted in Paramahansa Yogananda and Kriya Yoga.This conversation left me feeling deeply steady for hours afterwards — and I think there is something here for anyone searching for greater peace, clarity and inner freedom.We begin with Asha's extraordinary journey in Northern California in 1969, during a time of psychedelics, Eastern philosophy and spiritual exploration. She shares the quiet realisation that the conventional paths to success were not going to answer the deeper question she was searching for: Who are we, really?Asha shares the profound moment she met Swami Kriyananda and recognised what she describes as a boundless presence, as well as the meaning behind her spiritual name and the Nayaswami path — bringing spirituality, meditation and higher consciousness into everyday life.From there, we explore Christ consciousness, spiritual awakening and the relationship between revelation and religion, including why profound spiritual experiences can sometimes become rigid belief systems — and why discernment is so important in a world filled with endless voices and opinions.Asha also shares practical wisdom around meditation, consciousness, habits and inner transformation. We explore how our habits shape our inner energy and experience, and one beautifully simple question we can ask ourselves throughout the day:“Can I be more expanded and less contracted right now?”We also have an honest conversation about grief, tragedy and suffering, exploring how better questions can sometimes widen our perspective without denying the reality of heartbreak.And we explore something surprisingly simple but powerful: how music, environment and the energy around us can influence the mind, much like tuning an instrument.Ultimately, this conversation is about peace, presence, meditation, consciousness, self-realisation and the journey inward — and discovering that perhaps the peace we are searching for is not somewhere we need to get to, but something we can practise returning to, moment by moment.If you're interested in spiritual awakening, Kriya Yoga, meditation, Paramahansa Yogananda, higher consciousness, inner peace or living a more meaningful life, I think you'll find something valuable in this conversation.

Eric and Dax talk about creating legendary nightclubs and hotels, directing Nine Inch Nails videos, and stumbling into Tiger King while investigating reptile smugglers.

Michael Loftus returns with political frustration, road stories, pop-culture detours, and the kind of righteous ranting that makes The Loftus Party Podcast what it is.After recounting his trip to Northern California for an event featuring gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton, Michael argues that the state remains beautiful, valuable, and worth saving from increasingly expensive and destructive progressive leadership. He discusses California's political future, government spending, how wildfire-relief money is handled, and why voters should choose common sense over socialism.The conversation also covers Mitch McConnell's return to Washington, a practical life hack, upcoming live appearances, Oasis ticket fever, and President Donald Trump's proposed $5,000 voter dividend. Michael explains why supporting Trump does not require treating him as infallible, revisiting the COVID response, border-wall funding, rampant government waste, the Russia-collusion investigation, January 6, and the unequal treatment of Trump allies.It's politics, comedy, travel, music, and mounting disbelief at a government capable of wasting billions while insisting it cannot afford the things voters were promised.Want to show your support and get all the cool extras?

Coach Schroer brings one of the most unique backgrounds we've had on the show — an 8x NCAA Division I All-American, 2x Olympic Trials qualifier, World and USA Masters Champion in the 800m, and a coach whose journey has taken him from Virginia to Seoul, South Korea, and ultimately Northern California.We go back to his days at Georgetown and the influence of legendary coach Frank Gagliano, how he found his way into coaching, and why he believes in blending old-school toughness with modern training: work hard, but work smart.From there, we get into what he's building at Cal Poly Humboldt — recruiting, academics, team culture, the incredible training environment in the redwoods, developing middle-distance athletes through cross country, and his goal of bringing Humboldt's proud distance-running tradition back into the NCAA Division II national conversation.We also talk about what Coach Schroer looks for in recruits, why communication matters, the importance of long-term athlete development, and why Humboldt can be a special fit for student-athletes looking for something different.

Sometimes the toughest years force us to rethink the way we manage our ranches. Northern California rancher Kyle Farmer joins us to share how a devastating wildfire changed the way he looked at rebuilding and ultimately led him to become an early adopter of virtual fencing. We'll talk about how that technology has changed his approach to grazing, water and infrastructure development, fire mitigation, and even how he uses his time on the ranch. It's a conversation about looking beyond the way things have always been done and considering what might better prepare our ranches for the future. #WorkingRanchRadioShow #Ranching #VirtualFencing #Halter #GrazingManagement #Wildfire #RanchManagement
In this episode, we bring back paramedic and professor, Bram Duffee. Bram was previously on the show to discuss the book he co-wrote with Joseph Brigandi, MS, M.Ed., NCC, LPC-S. Psychological Emergency: Communication and Care by First Responders. Unfortunately, Joseph passed away suddenly recently and Bram spends the initial parts of the episode giving tribute to his friend, fellow paramedic, and co-author. Dr. Joe Holley joins the team and along with co-host, Sam Bradley, talks about the 25 years since the 9/11 attacks and response. Joe responded with a Federal USAR team to the Pentagon attack and Sam was at ground zero in New York with a California DMAT team supporting the responders with medical care after working on the pile at the World Trade Centers sites each day. The episode also was co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Psychological Casualties in Disasters Bram explained the Iceberg Effect, which highlights that for every physical casualty in a disaster, there are 4-10 psychological casualties that go unaddressed. He noted that while physical casualties are visible and what incident commanders plan for, the psychological toll represents a much larger underlying issue that can overwhelm systems designed only for physical injuries. Sam shared her experience with CISM teams during disasters like Katrina, emphasizing how responders often feel they abandon patients who need long-term psychological support rather than quick medical treatment. First Responder Family Preparedness The group discussed the importance of first responders’ family preparedness during major incidents, with Jamie emphasizing that having a well-prepared home life allows first responders to better focus on patient care. Bram shared his experience with government versus private company responses to disasters, noting that government agencies typically provide better support for personnel and their families. Sam contributed by sharing her role in launching critical incident stress management (CISM) in 1996 with American Medical Response in Northern California, which later expanded nationwide. Psychological Phases of Disaster Response Bram explained four psychological phases of disaster response: impact, inventory, rescue, and recovery, drawing from CISM principles and Dwight Polk’s work on pre-hospital behavioral emergencies. He described how each phase represents different emotional states and challenges, with the recovery phase often being the most important but least recognized phase that requires sustained attention and resources. Bram also outlined how psychological triage can be applied by identifying distinct population groups with different needs, including survivors, witnesses, bereaved individuals, and the wider community, each requiring different approaches based on their specific circumstances. Individualized Disaster Psychological Support Approaches The group discussed the importance of individualized approaches when providing psychological support during disasters, noting that different people require specific treatments based on their unique needs and trauma presentations. Bram emphasized how people in states of fear and shock can be particularly vulnerable to hypnotic trances, highlighting the critical importance of careful communication and word choice by first responders. The discussion also touched on how both victims and their caregivers can exhibit signs of psychological distress during disaster situations. Disaster Management Frameworks Discussion Bram explained three frameworks – Focus, START, and CALMS – that he created using mnemonics to help with disaster management situations. The Focus framework helps with situational assessment by examining population impact, operational zones, critical phases, urgent needs, and strategy. START addresses resource allocation, while CALMS provides an interactive approach for individual support. The discussion then shifted to potentially discussing Dr. Joe’s experience at the Pentagon, though the transcript ended before this topic was fully explored. 9/11 First Responder Reflections The group discussed their experiences responding to the 9/11 attacks 25 years ago. Joe described being deployed within hours of the attack and spending 14 days on-site doing search and rescue work, while Sam shared her experience with the federal team providing medical care to firefighters, noting their psychological distress. The participants discussed how psychological support for first responders has improved significantly over the past 25 years, with more real-time and robust support systems in place. They also reflected on the long-term psychological impacts on responders, with Joe mentioning that some team members still struggle with PTSD, and Bram comparing the experience to dealing with grief. First Responder Psychological Impact Discussion The meeting was a podcast recording discussing the psychological impact on first responders, particularly focusing on a book written by Bram about communication techniques for handling psych emergencies. Sam shared her experience coordinating supervisor check-ins with hospital staff following a crisis, while Jamie emphasized the importance of remembering historical events for future generations. The discussion concluded with information about where to find the participants online and announcements about upcoming podcast episodes covering hurricane season and recent events in Hawaii. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

Nick Seevers, an accomplished horseplayer based in Sacramento, Calif., shares his story on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. A two-time National Horseplayers Championship competitor, Seevers talks about the handicappers who have influenced his growth in the game. He also singles out books and podcasts that have been helpful. A lifelong resident of Northern California, Seevers discusses the gambling he did growing up and his introduction to racing at tracks that since have been shut down. He details just what that part of the country lost when racing there in 2024. The $5 minimum introduced for win, place and show bets at the recent Kentucky Downs meet also is grist for conversation with Seevers. That, of course, leads to a discussion of computer wagering and the best way to bet against it. Seevers also shares his appreciation for The Tony Kornheiser Show, which has been a template for this podcast. In host chat, sports writer John Cherwa and Fairmount Park track announcer Keith Nelson talk about their interactions with their audiences as well as their own brushes with celebrities. The episode opens with a remembrance of what happened 25 years ago, when 9/11 took on the significance it carries today. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.

Their first confirmed victim, in March 1981, is their own roommate, aspiring actress Keryn Barnes, stabbed thirteen times and beaten with a frying pan after Suzan decides she's a witch stealing her "yogic powers." From there the couple drifts to a Northern California marijuana farm, where Michael shoots fellow farmhand Clark Stephens in the head and tries to burn the body, and then to the shoulder of Highway 101 in 1983, where hitchhiking ends with driver Jon Charles Hellyar stabbed and shot in front of passing traffic. A televised press conference, a recanted confession, and two 75-years-to-life sentences follow, and Michael's own daughter Jenn later describes visiting him in prison as looking into the eyes of someone with no soul.The episode closes in the mid-1970s with rock journalist and Wiccan practitioner Walli Elmlark, the Circus Magazine columnist New York knew as the White Witch, whose story is told through the memoir of her friend Timothy Green Beckley, founder of the New York School of Occult Arts and Sciences on 14th Street. Elmlark's most famous client is David Bowie, who at the height of a cocaine addiction is drawing protective pentagrams on every surface of his Los Angeles home and reading Dion Fortune's "Psychic Self Defense" as a survival manual. When Bowie becomes convinced Satan is living in his indoor pool, he turns down a Greek Orthodox priest and instead performs an exorcism from Elmlark's written instructions, with a few hundred dollars of talismans bought from Hollywood occult shops. According to his then-wife Angie, the water begins to thrash, a gargoyle-shaped stain appears on the bottom of the pool, and later tenants can't paint it away. Elmlark herself dies around 1980 of a barbiturate overdose, a death her friends learned of only through her family and which at least one of them still finds suspicious.

Changes are coming to a controversial drone code enforcement program in Northern California's Sonoma County. The county's land use planning and development permitting agency, Permit Sonoma, recently [[last week]] agreed to settle after being sued for allegedly spying on much more than what the program initially intended.

His work examines the stories and events that challenge our understanding of the world around us. Derek is the creator of The Triangle Series, a collection of books investigating regions associated with unusual activity including UFO encounters, Bigfoot and cryptid sightings, paranormal experiences, unexplained lights, historic mysteries, and other events that defy easy explanation. Check Out The Triangle Series His approach is open minded and story-driven. Rather than dismissing experiences simply because they fall outside conventional understanding, Derek allows witnesses to share their stories and examines the possibilities surrounding what they encountered. His interest in the unexplained is also deeply personal. Derek has experienced unexplained phenomena firsthand, including a Bigfoot encounter in Washington State. As Derek explains: "My connection to these subjects is also deeply personal. Both my 87-year-old father, a former NSA agent, and I have had our own Bigfoot encounters. Mine occurred in Washington State, while his took place in Northern California." Derek's 16 years as a Washington State correctional officer also provided him with numerous unusual experiences. Some occurred inside the Washington State Reformatory, while others took place during night-shift assignments outside the prison. These firsthand encounters, combined with years of research, have shaped Derek's unique perspective on the unexplained.

The 49ers are settling into Australia ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Rams in Melbourne — and one of their biggest advantages could come at the most important position on the field. Reporting from Cape Byron, the easternmost point of mainland Australia, I break down the Brock Purdy vs. Matthew Stafford matchup and why Purdy's efficiency under pressure, mobility and ability to create outside structure could become a major factor against Los Angeles. We also dive into the travel equation. While the 49ers have had time to acclimate, practice and adjust to Australia, the Rams are taking a much later approach. After experiencing the 14-hour flight myself, I explain why the recovery window and potential jet lag gap could matter more than people realize. Plus, we look at the 49ers' practice schedule, the transformation of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Raheem Morris' potential influence on an aggressive new blitz philosophy and a connection back to the 49ers' 1989 Super Bowl season.

In Roads to Retirement: Act I – The Journey Begins, Jeff Snyder sets the stage for a thoughtful exploration of what retirement really means by introducing two people whose lives could not look more different. One is an artist in Marin who has chosen a simple, creative life living on a sailboat and staying grounded in what matters most. The other is a Northern California firefighter working hard to build stability and opportunity for his growing family.
In this episode of the Income Flip Podcast, John McNellis shares his journey from a journalism major with no clear direction, to a reluctant lawyer, to one of Northern California's most respected shopping center developers over a 40-plus year career. John breaks down how he turned a $1,500 investment into $90,000 in early real estate profits before he'd even left the law firm, then raised his first million dollars door-to-door to build the Healdsburg shopping center he still owns today. He's candid about the deals that nearly destroyed him too, from a wildly overleveraged mall redevelopment that ended in foreclosure and a six-figure IRS bill, to a Walmart project derailed by a granite deposit no geological survey could have predicted. He also explains why he walked away from financial partners entirely, why staying hyper-local gave him a lasting competitive edge, and why persistence, not talent or luck, is the real prerequisite for surviving decades in development.

On this episode, Kevin chats with John McNellis, a principal of McNellis Partners, the Northern California commercial development firm he co-founded in the early 1980s. John and his two partners have completed nearly 100 deals, almost all supermarket-anchored neighborhood centers within a two-hour drive of San Francisco, and have funded every one with their own capital since 1990. They cover why he scaled the business down by a factor of ten, how he turns brokers into an off-market deal team, why he refuses to underwrite to IRR, where he still finds mispriced ground leases, how a five-person firm punches outside its weight class, and the quiet power of being able to say you have enough.

When every employee can produce polished, on-brand-looking content in seconds, who actually owns the brand anymore?Agility requires guardrails, not just accelerators. Moving fast is only an advantage if the organization is still moving as one recognizable company.Today we're going to talk about the gap that opens up between how fast AI lets an organization produce and how well its brand actually holds together as that output scales. We'll explore:- What really gets diluted when content creation is democratized — and how quickly that compounds- Treating brand as infrastructure: building systems that guide AI-generated work rather than teams that police it after the fact- Why investment in brand governance has to scale in lockstep with investment in AI toolsTo help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Meghan Gendelman, CMO of B2B at Canva.About Meghan GendelmanMeghan Gendelman is Chief Marketing Officer, B2B at Canva, where she leads global B2B marketing to help organizations turn visual communication into essential infrastructure for modern work.Meghan's previously led cross-functional teams across Marketing, Enablement, Customer Success, and Sales.

Sisters in Loss Podcast: Miscarriage, Pregnancy Loss, & Infertility Stories
In today's episode, Anietie Tia Ukpe-Wallace, a pelvic health physical therapist and author of Tending to Your Womb, shares how relocating from Northern California to Lisbon, Portugal will shape her continued work virtually and internationally. She recounts chronic infections and pelvic pain that led her to pelvic health, then details her first pregnancy in 2011 complicated by fibroids and ending in a 20-week loss, followed by a second loss six months later. She explains how grief can manifest physically through posture, breathing, reduced movement, nervous system effects, and pelvic floor tension, and defines pelvic floor therapy's functions and common symptoms. Wallace describes how pelvic therapy after loss may begin with external work (breath, abdominal touch/massage, education) before any internal exam, emphasizes finding therapists comfortable with loss, and discusses surgery, therapy, and practices that supported her later pregnancy and ongoing anxiety. She highlights body literacy as a core takeaway from her book and shares where to buy it and how to connect with her and her retreats. Key Takeaway: Body Literacy The core mission of her book, Tending to Your Womb, is to cultivate body literacy—empowering individuals to deeply understand, listen to, and advocate for their own reproductive and pelvic health. Connect & Learn More: Listeners can purchase Tending to Your Womb through major book retailers and connect with Anietie online to learn more about her virtual pelvic health consulting and upcoming international wellness retreats.
✅ The Green Impact Report Quick take: David Gottfried co-founded USGBC, wrote the first white paper proposing a US rating system, and lit the fuse on what became LEED.

“On my headstone, it would say: I was always right. I never lied, and no one paid any attention to me.” — Paulina Borsook A quarter of a century ago, the tech journalist Paulina Borsook published Cyberselfish, one of the earliest critiques of Silicon Valley's libertarian culture. While the heretical book got widely reviewed, it not only didn't sell but cursed her writing career, Borsook claiming she couldn't get published again on any subject. Used copies of Cyberselfish could be had for a few dollars and she became just another forgotten tech dissenter. Then, last year, Borsook was magically resurrected. The New York Times (re)discovered her as “the writer who dared criticize Silicon Valley” and the price of secondhand copies of Cyberselfish jumped to over a thousand dollars. The world caught up with her tech scepticism. Like an AI startup, Borsook is now hot. So hot, in fact, that the original Cyberselfish is now being republished not only in the US and UK, but also in France. So hot, that we now have a new word: “Borsookian,” to describe Silicon Valley libertarianism. The funny thing is that nothing much has changed over the last quarter century since Borsook's original book came out. Not tech's libertarian hostility to government. Not the Silicon Valley boys-only club. And certainly not Paulina Borsook, who retains what the Grateful Dead lyricist and digital utopian John Perry Barlow half-lovingly called her “dyspeptic” manner. “On my headstone, it would say: I was always right,” Paulina Borsook confides with dyspeptic glee. “I never lied, and no one paid any attention to me.” How delicious to be so fully resurrected. What fun for the heretic to help transform the original orthodoxy into the new heresy. Five Takeaways • Back from the Dead. The resurrection required no publicist: used copies of Cyberselfish drifted from $4 toward $1,000; graduate students begged her for copies she couldn't supply; a stranger she's never met posted on LinkedIn that she'd gotten everything right and been forgotten — and it went viral. That led to Gil Duran, whose furious Bluesky post (after a Wired mea-culpa writer interviewed him about her for forty-five minutes and cited neither of them) alerted The New York Times, whose November feature — “The Writer Who Dared Criticize Silicon Valley” — brought her agent's immortal email: “we always knew you were right.” Tin House is reissuing the book on September 15 with a Duran foreword and her new afterword, changing not a word. Younger readers, she's told, like that it doesn't read like a TED Talk. Her headstone joke covers the whole arc: always right, never lied, no one paid attention.• Why Are They So Mad? The book's core observation remains undefeated: “no sector of society has benefited more and suffered less from the government than people in Silicon Valley. So why are they acting like this, and why are they so mad?” “Libertarian” was simply her shorthand for a subculture violently anti-government, totally anti-regulation, and drunk on Ayn Rand — or, in the book's reframe, the mind-set of adolescents craving total rampaging autonomy while someone else does the laundry. She wrote it from inside: a Wired freelancer under Louis Rossetto (who handed new writers The New Journalism), perpetually paired point-counterpoint against John Perry Barlow, whose Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace made her snort and whose “dyspeptic” label she wears as a compliment. Kevin Kelly, she insists, is not Sam Altman — they almost never agreed, but she doesn't demonize — “except that they have a belief in everything that tech wants to do is fine.” The book, she says now, is a Guide for the Perplexed: the metaphors and framing to decode everything the current crop is spewing.• That Damn Book. She calls it TDB — That Damn Book — because it wrecked her. A strong media arc and worldwide reviews, then no sales and a career that “came to a crashing halt”: for twenty-five years she could not get published again, on tech or anything else; a finalist for four fellowships, winner of none; no one — blacklist theorists, gender theorists — could ever explain it. “I have PTSD from twenty-five years of never being able to be published again.” The lost years: seven of nasty elder care, an eviction that put everything she owned in storage, six years as an Airbnb superhost in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and the art project My Life as a Ghost — about the traumatic brain injury she's carried since a friend accidentally shot her with a Colt 45 at fourteen. She resists the redemptive reading that the TBI explains her outsider eye (“I'm a package deal”), and values tech precisely as the utility — word processing, BBSs for the housebound — that made a writing life possible. Using is not worshiping.• AI Is the Inevitable Result of Cyberselfishness. “Was anybody asking for this? Not really.” AI, on her reading, is the financial play the culture was always building toward — there's little real innovation left, “except for surveillance capitalism” and, in her Shakespearean phrase, the current crop “borrowing the robes of the tech culture of another era.” Her oldest fascination has become the newest: since ELIZA in the sixties, people have preferred confessing to machines over talking to humans — AI boyfriends included — and “it gets so much stuff wrong that people wanna rely on this” bewilders her still. Andrew's question about Anthropic's calls for regulation drew the hour's driest line: “isn't that just sort of the lipstick on a pig issue? I'll believe it when I see it” — nobody, she notes, will do anything that touches the stock price. Her counter-example is the late Peter Neumann, the computer scientist who gave $4 million to the San Francisco Symphony's chorus: “we will not see his like again.”• The Blue of Tahoe. Asked what freedom means, she calls the word too abused to define — a card-carrying ACLU member since high school who believes just as firmly in regulation, and whose answer to Sergey Brin's California-as-Soviet-Union hissy fit is the episode's keeper: “what do you think keeps the water of Tahoe so very blue except for government regulation and environmental scientists? Who do you think regulates the use of the term organic?” The regulation-freedom dynamic, she argues, is healthy — it's the worship that isn't. Her San Francisco test: The Crucible, the beloved East Bay institution that taught Burning Man its metalwork, gets nothing from the boom, while art nonprofits die weekly and the winners insist they owe nothing because they pay taxes — “which they try very much not to do.” Burning Man itself she reads via Brave New World: the violent passion surrogate, a scheduled space for disorder before returning to lives spent “creating nonsense and ruining a lot of things that we hold dear.” A California writer to the end — and, per Glengarry Glen Ross, always be closing.

Formerly on the masthead of Wired, she has written for Mother Jones, Salon, and countless tech and non-tech publications, and is a contributing editor at InFormation (“every day computers are making people easier to use”), the revived tech-skeptic magazine of past guest Davi...

Tokyo-born Lisa Katayama took her parenting techniques with her to Northern California and found that what Japanese culture had to offer was quite useful when it came to raising kids. We discussed the pain points of parenting, how she puts her ideas into practice, and how she pulled off writing a book in the midst of all of it. Hosted on Acast.

"We are so well positioned to have it continue and flourish because we have become a Perpetual Purpose Trust, which means this place is no longer owned by one person or any financial interest—it is owned by purpose." —Michael Stusser "We're always trying to figure out how we keep moving the property forward in a way that's sustainable, and also how it's going to impact our guests, our business, our staff." —Heather Bishop A perpetual purpose trust sounds like a legal footnote until you meet the two people who actually built one. This episode traces how Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary in Sonoma County became the first U.S. spa to place itself inside that structure — permanently removing any future owner's ability to chase profit over mission. Justine first sits down with founder Michael Stusser, who traces the idea back to a single afternoon in an 800-year-old Kyoto stone garden, and then with CEO Heather Bishop, who inherited the vision and had to figure out how to make it legally unbreakable. This one's for anyone who's tired of the word "sustainable" doing all the talking and none of the work. Michael and Heather don't just describe the enzyme bath, the meditation gardens, or the gray water system — they explain the budgeting, the permits, and the trade-offs behind each one. It's a conversation about what it actually costs, in time and humility, to build something that outlasts you. The enzyme bath's heat comes entirely from billions of thermophilic bacteria fermenting Douglas fir and rice bran — not from any external heat source. Osmosis's perpetual purpose trust means the business has no human shareholder; its "shareholder" is the mission itself, enforced by a trust committee and an independent trust enforcer. The five-and-a-half-acre property couldn't legally go into the same trust as the business, so it's being paid off and moved into a separate land trust over the next three to five years. A gray water system currently covers roughly 50–60% of the property's irrigation needs, with a rainwater catchment system planned to close the gap entirely. Osmosis sources its enzyme bath wood shavings as a byproduct from local lumber operations that would otherwise throw them away. Trust-based decision-making already changed real policy — Heather cites expanding paid time off to all staff, including part-time employees, as a direct result of the trust's staff-benefit objectives.

Beginning his journey at UC Santa Cruz in the late 1960s, he helped establish horticultural training centers and later served on the board of the Farallones Institute in Sonoma County. In the early 1980s, Michael apprenticed in traditional landscape gardening in Kyoto, Japan, where he immersed himself in Zen meditation and discovered the healing power of cedar enzyme baths. Returning to California in 1984, he introduced this unique practice, gaining national recognition in outlets like The New York Times and CNN. By 1988, he transformed five acres in Freestone into Osmosis, blending inspired landscaping, meditation traditions, and eco‑restoration to create a sanctuary rooted in sustainability, spirituality, and rejuvenation. LinkedIn Meet Heather: Heather Bishop is the CEO of Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary, where she leads one of Northern California's most distinctive hospitality businesses with a focus on people‑centered leadership and operational excellence. Over the past decade, she has guided Osmosis through transformative organizational change, overseeing operations, finance, HR, strategic planning, and guest experience for a team of 80+. Heather recently spearheaded the company's transition into a Purpose Trust‑owned business—one of the few in the United States—ensuring long‑term mission preservation while modernizing governance, HR systems, and employee benefits. With expertise in executive leadership, organizational development, change management, and hospitality operations, Heather is dedicated to building resilient, purpose‑driven organizations where employees thrive and guests enjoy exceptional experiences.

SHOWNOTES Apple Podcast Description: Episode Title: In this episode of All Talk Oncology, host Kenny Perkins (Your Cancer Guy) talks with Dr. Jeffrey Velotta, a thoracic surgeon practicing in Northern California, to discuss a growing and often misunderstood health crisis—lung cancer in people who have never smoked. While many people associate lung cancer primarily with smoking, Dr. Velotta explains that an alarming trend is emerging, particularly among Asian women who have never smoked. Despite California having one of the lowest smoking rates in the United States, the state continues to see some of the highest lung cancer incidence and mortality rates. Dr. Velotta breaks down the surprising risk factors behind this phenomenon, why many patients are being diagnosed at Stage IV, and what individuals can do to advocate for themselves when symptoms appear. This conversation is an essential listen for patients, caregivers, and anyone concerned about lung health—especially those who believe they are not at risk. In this episode, Dr. Castro discusses: Why lung cancer is increasing among non-smokers The alarming rise of lung cancer in Asian women Why many patients are diagnosed at Stage IV Key risk factors beyond smoking The importance of early detection and recognizing symptoms Why persistent cough should never be ignored When to request a chest X-ray or CT scan Why getting a second opinion is critical for cancer care How patients can find clinical trials and new treatment options Dr. Velotta also encourages patients to become active participants in their healthcare by asking tough questions, advocating for themselves, and seeking the best possible care. This episode provides vital insight into a growing public health issue and empowers patients with the knowledge needed to take action early.

listen without ads and get dopeycon tix discounted at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Summary: It's Dopey Day—the annual celebration of Chris O'Connor's birthday, his spirit and the strange, loving community that grew around Dopey. Dave explains the meaning of putting the Dopey logo over your eyes: addiction doesn't have one face, nobody truly knows what another person is going through, and recovery happens through connection. After DopeyCon updates, Scott remembers his weed-loving boxer Bailey, and Morgan tells a frightening story about a friend accidentally snorting an enormous line of 2C-B instead of cocaine and spending four hours reliving combat trauma. Then three longtime dopes return to reflect on how their lives—and their ideas about recovery—have changed. OG Dopey Nation legend Matthew Wiedermeier Carroll explains how he found Dopey while strung out on meth, wrote to Chris from prison, and eventually created the beloved “Waiting for Tonight” posts. He recounts stealing beer kegs and copper for drug money, drinking throughout his early involvement with Dopey, returning to cocaine and meth after his son was born, getting thrown out of his house and finally working the Twelve Steps for the first time. Matt also talks about prayer, fatherhood, DJing and the connection that helped him build a real recovery. Next, B. Getz of The Upful Life looks back at discovering Dopey while isolated on Northern California cannabis farms and trying to quit opioids with kratom. He remembers getting expelled from his first weed farm after having pills mailed to him, returning for another chance, and finding community among the international “trimigrants” of the pre-legalization cannabis world. Now married, off opioids and kratom, and raising a new baby, B. explains how Dopey helped broaden his understanding of recovery beyond rigid labels and taught him the value of service. Finally, Colin—who lived with Chris after Mountainside and now co-runs Berkshire Transition Network—joins Dave for a deeper conversation about grief, overdose and the limits of one-size-fits-all recovery. They question the tendency to explain every death by saying the person “didn't want it enough,” discuss whether addiction is a fixed identity or a culturally constructed label, and explore why listening, patience, trust and individualized support may matter more than forcing everyone down the same path. All that plus extra Chris! and More on an all new dopey day episode of that good old dopey show! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

After the East Area Rapist disappears from Northern California, an attack with a similar MO happens hundreds of miles away in Goleta. At the time, investigators had no reason to connect it to the Sacramento series. Paul Holes helps us understand the shift into Southern California, the jurisdictional gaps, and the violence of the Lyman and Charlene Smith case. Years later, evidence from this phase will become critical to identifying the Golden State Killer. Want to hear the entire series right now?

In May 2001, college intern Chandra Levy was preparing to return to her home in Northern California after living in DC for half a year. However, after her parents didn't hear from her for several days, they reported her missing to the Metropolitan Police. When the police entered Chandra's apartment, they found notes from the building's management scattered across the floor and a voicemail full of messages. While most of the messages were from her parents, two were from Congressman Gary Condit, asking when he could see her again. Those messages were placed on May 1st, the last day Chandra was seen alive. What followed was over two decades of political scandal, false confessions, and loose threads that led nowhere. All of this, and the question still remains: what happened to Chandra Levy?ButcherBox: Premium proteins the best way at https://butcherbox.com/milehigher for $20 OFF your first box and ground beef, chicken thighs OR top sirloin for a year!SmileSet: Dental beauty without the hassle https://smileset.com/milehigher when using our special offer, get your new aligner treatment for under $1300!!Zbiotics: Night's out without the bad mornings https://zbiotics.com use code MILEHIGHER for 15% OFF your first order!Dose: Boost your live health with https://www.dosedaily.co/milehigher and get 35% OFF your first subscription!Mint Mobile: Ditch the big wireless companies when you use https://mintmobile.com/milehigher and get a plan as low as $15 a month!Intro 0:00An Early Life Full of Love 3:03The Affair 9:49Mysterious Updates 21:20When it Happened 24:41Searching for Chandra 30:05Evidence Begins to Single out Gary Condit 41:32Finding Chandra 1:04:39Eerie Similarities 1:11:02Enter Ingmar 1:13:43Yet Another Twist... 1:30:00Back to Square One 1:37:02Final Thoughts & Outro 1:46:16Mile Higher Media website: https://milehigher.com/ Higher Hope Foundation: https://www.higherhope.org/ Mile Higher Merch: http://milehighermerch.comCheck out our other podcasts!The Sesh https://bit.ly/3Mtoz4XLights Out https://bit.ly/3n3GaoePlanet Sleep https://linktr.ee/planetsleepJoin our official FB group! https://bit.ly/3kQbAxgMHP YouTube: http://bit.ly/2qaDWGfAre You Subscribed On Apple Podcast & Spotify?!Support MHP by leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcast :) https://apple.co/2H4kh58MHP Topic Request Form: https://forms.gle/gUeTEzL9QEh4Hqz88You can follow us on all the things: @milehigherpodInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/milehigherpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MileHigherHosts:Kendall: @kendallraeonytIG: http://instagram.com/kendallraeonytYT: https://www.youtube.com/c/kendallsplaceJosh: @milehigherjoshIG: http://www.instagram.com/milehigherjoshProducers:Janelle: @janelle_fields_IG: https://www.instagram.com/janelle_fields_/Ian: @ifarmeIG: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/Tom: @cinematomgrapherIG: https://www.instagram.com/cinematomgrapher/Podcast sponsor inquiries: adops@audioboom.com✉ Send Us Mail ✉Kendall Rae & Josh Thomas 8547 E Arapahoe Rd Ste J # 233Greenwood Village, CO 80112Music By: Mile Higher BoysYT: https://bit.ly/2Q7N5QOSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0F4ik...Sources: https://pastebin.com/KXFys81J
