In this super quick episode, Jenna shares a powerful lesson she learned from an unexpected source—a flourishing orange tree. When I first entered the business world, I was unfamiliar with the concept of "mindset" and how the thoughts in your head affect your decisions (and business growth).During a standing weekly chat with my friend Alicia Wood, I was struck by the abundance of an orange tree in my yard. This tree, overflowing with fruit, became a vivid analogy for abundance: even when it seems bare after harvesting, it remains a source of endless potential.In business, seasons of growth, rest, and recovery are natural. Embrace these cycles. Remember, a day of low sales doesn't define your worth as a business owner, just like an orange tree remains an orange tree even when not full of fruit.Think of this episode next time you're in the produce aisle.

Der finnische Sternekoch verfolgt eine klare Philosophie in seiner Küche: „Jedes Produkt auf dem Teller muss eine Bedeutung haben. Ich setze auf das Prinzip 1+1 – ein Hauptprodukt ergänzt durch ein Nebenprodukt.“ Sauli Kemppainen aus Oulu besuchte nach der Koch-Ausbildung und Meisterprüfung die Chefkochschule in Belgien, bevor er im Hotel Savoy in Helsinki am Herd stand. Es folgten Stationen im Berliner Restaurant Margaux vom frankophilen Michael Hoffmann, im Drei-Sterne-Restaurant von Dieter Müller in Bergisch Gladbach und im Tristan auf Mallorca. Anschließend erweiterte er seine Expertise im weltberühmten Fat Duck von Heston Blumenthal in Berkshire (England) und verantwortete die Küche im Orange Tree in Moskau. Seine gelungene Premiere beim SHGF feierte Sauli Kemppainen im November 2024 in der Gutsküche (Tangstedt) von Rebecca und Matthias Gfrörer. „Ich bin sehr glücklich, bei Matthias an diesem schönen Ort zu sein. Mit ihm habe ich vor 24 Jahren im 2-Sterne-Restaurant Margaux in Berlin am Herd gestanden“, so der heute 55-Jährige, der gerade das Restaurant Harbore im Solo Sokos Hotel Pier 4 in Helsinki eröffnete. Warum Sauli Kemppainen kein Wasser zum Kochen verwenden, pure Aromen im Mittelpunkt stehen und seine Koch-Ausbildung sechs Jahre gedauert hat, erzählt der sympathische Finne in der 78. Episode vom SHGF Podcast.

Summary: Welcome to year three of Hearts & Daggers, friends! We are so delighted you are along on this ride with us. To get 2024 started, Holly and Devin are digging into books by debut authors. There may be nothing more impressive that someone who puts their heart and hard work on the line to publish their first book. It's not only difficult to get published in the first place, but once your book is out there are thousands if not millions of people who experience your finished work. Holly and Devin both love reading debuts, finding that the more diverse voices added to the canon the more they enjoy diving in. Topics Discussed: The Heart (3:45): Devin discussed Lunar Love by Lauren Kung Jessen, an enemies-to-lovers centered around Olivia Huang Christenson and Bennett O'Brien as they go head-to-head in a competition to see whose Chinese zodiac matchmaking approach is best. Liv is working hard to maintain the traditions of her grandmother's matchmaking business and Bennett has launched a new dating app that recommends matches using the Chinese zodiac. Devin's key takeaways were: The crux of the romance and the plot of the novel is the push/pull between tradition and innovation. How can one maintain culture via traditional practices and where should technology and new perspectives impact those traditions? Devin is year of the Horse and Holly is year of the Snake, but either had been exposed very much to the Chinese zodiac before Devin read this book; Kung Jessen pulls from her Chinese-American heritage to add a unique cultural and historical perspective to the novel without making it seem like a lesson at school. Lunar Love was a bit light on the romance side and not very steamy. That being said, it was built authentically through Liv and Bennett's competition. Reading how each of them watched each other on dates that they themselves orchestrated and the complicated feelings there was especially enjoyable. The Dagger (19:22): Holly discussed Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden, a crime thriller following Virgil Wounded Horse as he delivers vigilante justice for his Lakota Nation community when the American legal system and the trivial council fall short. When heroin makes its way onto the reservation and directly impacts Virgil's nephew, his career in vigilantism suddenly becomes personal. Holly's key takeaways were: This novel was not only an extremely solid debut, but an important fresh voice for the triller genre; it was character-driven and a slower build in terms of action, but Holly read it in a day and found it was impossible to put down. Winter Counts explores themes of justice and the corruption that can preclude real accountability and fairness within not only the federal policing system as it interacts with the Native communities, but also the tribal councils themselves and the cascading impacts it has on the people. Through Virgil and the other characters of the book, Weiden explores not only how personal history and trauma influence perspectives and actions but also the challenges of maintaining and evolving cultural identity and traditions for the Native communities in the modern era. Hot On the Shelf (35:26): Holly: The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim Devin: The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon What's Making Our Hearts Race (41:29): Holly: Rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender Devin: The Old Man and the Pool by Mike Bribiglia Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Chef Iliana de la Vega won the prestigious James Beard Award for Best Restaurant in Texas in 2022. El Naranjo, the restaurant she owns and operates with her husband, means The Orange Tree and is regarded as the highest quality traditional Mexican restaurant in the state of Texas. But life wasn't always filled with success and recognition. In 1997, Iliana opened the original El Naranjo in Oaxaca. Her life changed dramatically as political unrest forced the family out of Mexico a few years later. Settling in New Mexico until a visit to friends in Austin, Texas convinced Iliana that it was the right place for her, and she reopened El Naranjo there in 2012. In this episode, we learn how Iliana first learned of the Oaxacan delicacies from her grandmother and how as a young girl in Mexico City used those earthy, smoky chiles and spices to cook authentic Mexican dishes with her mother. "My love for cooking began as a young girl, I enjoyed going to the market daily and traveling the country with my family tasting the flavors of the various regions,” says Iliana. Iliana tells us how her love for teaching has helped her work with staff and operate her restaurant. "Patience is truly a virtue,” she tells us. "My signature Mole is a three-day process, so it's easy for me to understand that training staff takes time and repetition." Today her full-service traditional Mexican restaurant offers dinner service and a very popular Sunday brunch... Tomorrow may find us enjoying an additional concept as Iliana would like to offer her seasonal Mexican favorites in a less sophisticated, fast casual environment. We can't wait!
Dame Joanna Lumley and Gyles have known each other for over 50 years - and this is a chance to hear them reminisce about her incredibly rich, varied and star-studded life and career. Joanna spent her childhood in India, Hong Kong and then at boarding school in Kent and went on to become a model in swinging London in the 60s and then an actress on film, TV and stage. She is, of course, best known for her portrayal of the drink-addled, chain-smoking Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous. But she is much more than that - as her amazing performance at the very end of this podcast shows. We recommend that you listen up to the end... This episode was recorded in front of an audience at The Orange Tree theatre in Richmond, so it's another Rosebud on the Road. Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Don't weep for lost dreams, they were never real to begin with.'Bitter Orange Tree' by Jokha Alharthi is a fictional series of recollections told by a young Omani woman about her life, family and relationships. It mostly focuses on her grandmother's tribulations and her own personal grief/regret of her passing away.I summarised the book as follows. "I came in to this blank was pleasantly surprised considering it is outside of my normal genre's of reading. There are some nice cultural insights to take away and I was impressed by the qualities of fortitude and hardiness found in the grandmother. The constant style of switching back and forth was ok for this book, but certainly would get tiresome if I read more like this."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Dong Li's The Orange Tree (U Chicago Press, 2023) is a collection of narrative poems that braids forgotten legends, personal sorrows, and political upheavals into a cinematic account of Chinese history as experienced by one family. Amid chaos and catastrophe, the child narrator examines a yellowed family photo to find resemblances and learns a new language, inventing compound words to conjure and connect family stories. These invented words and the calligraphy of untranslated Chinese characters appear in lists separating the book's narrative sections. This lyrical and experimental collection transcends the individual, placing generations of family members and anonymous others together in a single moment that surpasses chronological time and offering intimate perspectives on times that resonate with our own. The result is an unflinching meditation on family history, collective trauma, and imaginative recovery. In this conversation, Dong and Anna discuss landscape and memory, family and history, and poetry as a medium for storytelling and as a language all its own. Dong Li is a multilingual author who translates from Chinese, English, French, and German. Born and raised in China, he was educated at Deep Springs College and Brown University. His poems have been published by Conjunctions, Fence, Kenyon Review, POETRY, and elsewhere. He has served as the Olive B. O'Connor Fellow in creative writing at Colgate University and is a recipient of fellowships from Akademie Schloss Solitude, Camargo and Humboldt Foundations, MacDowell, PEN/Heim Translation Fund, Yaddo, and others. His debut poetry collection, The Orange Tree (University of Chicago Press, March 2023), was the inaugural winner of the Phoenix Emerging Poet Book Prize.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Soul of the Deep: "I choose to be me." What happens when you lose your purpose? When guilt and grief are so consuming that even the bottom of the sea isn't as crushing your own thoughts? What happens when you loose faith? You look for the light. Simi is depressed and alone fulfilling her bargain at the bottom of the sea. Her sacrifice has been worth it, or so Simi thinks. Her penance at the bottom of the sea is her duty, or so Simi thinks. But all is not as it seems and the sea and the land are not at peace. War is brewing and everyone wants to blame Simi, even Simi. Soul of the Deep takes Simi and readers from the darkest part of the ocean to the brightest part of the day and explores the idea that what is right to you, isn't always what is right to all.

In March 1989, University of Texas student Mark Kilroy had everything going for him. He was preparing to take the MCAT exams and apply to medical school. He'd just turned 21. He was ready to finally take some time off from school and celebrate with his friends at America's biggest Spring Break party spot…South Padre Island, Texas. In far south Texas, it wasn't uncommon for students to cross the border into Mexico to continue the party. But after a night of partying in Matamoros, Mark Kilroy never came home. His family searched for him for a month until they learned of Mark's grisly end at the hands of a cult led by the handsome and charismatic Adolfo Constanzo, or “El Padrino.” In season three of “Darkness” from The Drag Audio Production House, which brought you “The Orange Tree” and “Darkness: Austin Bomber,” hear the story of how Mark Kilroy's family maintained their faith while searching for their son, and the tale of “Los Narcosatánicos,” the drug gang behind his death. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/darkness-podcast/support
