In this episode, I share my conversation with Roberts Rurans, a Latvia-based illustrator who creates all his work using traditional materials — literally painting his images with acrylics. When Roberts talks about his brushes, he means the actual ones lying on his table, not virtual tools in a menu! His process is physical, full of quirks, accidents, and unexpected moments — and yet, his work feels fresh and totally at home in today's digital illustration landscape.Roberts has worked with clients like Hermès, Nike, Apple, and Coca-Cola, but his artistic integrity shines through no matter the project. In our conversation, we talk about evolving your style, the tension between old and new work, the difference between art and design, and what it's really like to work 100% analog in a mostly digital world.Toward the end, Roberts answers questions submitted by my Patreon supporters — including whether he secretly uses any digital tools (you'll have to listen to find out). I wrap things up with some community notes and another “Embarrassing Story of the Episode,” featuring me, a trail run, some hikers caught unawares, and a well-placed band-aid.IN THIS EPISODEHow Roberts Rurans keeps his fully analog style feeling freshThoughts on evolving your style without disowning the pastThe line between art and design in illustrationAnalog tools vs. digital tools — which gives you the edge?PLUS - Embarrassing Moment of the Episode: Shirtless in the ForestSHOW LINKSRoberts Rurans on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/robertsruransRoberts's website – https://www.robertsrurans.comHOW TO SUPPORTShare this episode with your friends!Like/Subscribe/Follow/Comment/ReviewBecome a $3 Supporter or $8 Drawing Buddy on Patreon.

In this Revisited episode, Brian and Dani come face-to-face with one of the most polarizing cases in true crime history—Aileen Wuornos.Brian returns to the table with the case file: seven murders, a pattern of escalating violence, and a woman on death row who claimed she was fighting for her life.Dani brings his psychological lens back into the mix, raising questions that make the facts a little harder to sit with—and a lot harder to dismiss.Was Aileen Wuornos a serial killer in the classic sense? Or a product of a system that chewed her up long before she ever pulled a trigger?In this raw, no-holds-barred conversation, the hosts break down:The inconsistencies in her statementsThe overlooked trauma in her pastThe media circus that shaped public opinionAnd the gray area where justice gets… uncomfortableThey debate. They push back. They don't always agree—and that's the point.This is where the facts and the ‘what ifs' collide.This is Revisited: Aileen Wuornos.

Nora Freeman Engstrom is a professor of law who says that in three-quarters of cases one or more of the parties lacks legal representation. Worse yet, often the litigants are involved in high-consequence civil cases where there is no right to a lawyer and costs are prohibitive. Some states are looking at alternatives including non-lawyer representation, curated legal help for low-income citizens, and even AI, as Engstrom tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

In this episode of the Existential Hope Podcast, existential psychologist Clay Routledge explores how meaning and agency shape both individual well-being and societal progress.While material conditions have improved, many people—especially younger generations—report growing pessimism and disconnection. Clay argues that a lack of meaning, not just external barriers, often holds us back. By understanding how humans derive purpose and motivation, we can unlock new paths to flourishing.We discuss:Why agency—the belief that we can shape our future—is crucial for progressHow nostalgia can fuel innovation rather than trap us in the pastThe difference between hope and optimism, and why hope drives actionThe psychology behind rising pessimism and how to counter itWhat a world that maximizes meaning and human potential could look likeIf you've ever wondered how psychology can help us move from existential angst to existential hope, this episode is for you.Full transcript, list of resources, and art piece: https://www.existentialhope.com/podcastsExistential Hope was created to collect positive and possible scenarios for the future so that we can have more people commit to creating a brighter future, and to begin mapping out the main developments and challenges that need to be navigated to reach it.

The lone wolf man is a persona that isn't real. When you look at most movies about lone wolf men, they have a pretty sad life. Sure, they could kill people and win the day, but at what cost? There is also the reality that none of them became great warriors alone. The movies will often show a backstory where they had a guide train them for their adventures.Too many men think they have to battle everything in their lives alone. They see it as a sign of weakness to ask for help. We want to show how this attitude hurts us and how we can overcome it and build strong resilient lives.Why the Lone Wolf Appeals to MenPrideWe idolize heroes of the pastThe quest for glory and other people's respectHow the Lone Wolf Hurts MenWe get weird by ourselvesWe try to do too muchWe get an attitude of everyone against meWe don't trustOur capacity won't grow, by ourselvesOthers can call us higher and push usOvercoming the Lone Wolf MentalityServe OthersAvoid building a Loner LifeSeek to have real relationships and not just virtual onesCHALLENGE:Quit buying the lie of doing it by yourself!RESOURCES TO HELP YOU THRIVE AS A MAN========================Thriving Man Coaching Resources4D MODEL FREE PDFLearn about the 4 fundamentals of a Successful LifeDiscover OUR SPEAKING AND HOW WE HAVE EMPOWERED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD

Raise your hand if this sounds familiar: In a group of leftie social justice therapists, someone says that therapy is a profession founded by white men. Everyone else in the room nods along and acknowledges the white male hegemonic roots of the profession, then moves on to discuss other things. The problem with saying that white men founded therapy and is part of a white hegemonic legacy is that it just isn't true.If you go down a list of the founders and early theorists of therapy as theory, discipline, and practice, you'll find that many of them were Jews. Even now, many of our theory heroes and celebrity therapists are Jewish.And that's not incidental or coincidental; it is consequential. Therapy is foundationally and elementally Jewish.To dig into therapy's Jewish roots, I invited writer and therapist hannah baer to join me. We also talk about therapy's relationship to Jewish mysticism and esotericism and delve into the ways in which therapy follows the Jewish tradition of marking and understanding the past.hannah baer is a writer and therapist based in New York. She is the author of the memoir trans girl suicide museum. Listen to the full episode to hear:The conflation of survival and accumulation of privilege that has happened in many Jewish families as they have been assimilated into whitenessHow the rejection of psychoanalytic therapy is tied to the drive for assimilation into white culture and the rejection of mysticismWhy it should be okay for therapists to accept that the magic that happens in the room can't always be explained by science or reduced to an insurance noteThe Jewishness of verbalizing and analyzing trauma, and reinterpreting historic theoryThe radical promise of therapy to help people metabolize and contextualize their trauma so they don't repeat it on othersThe American insistence on focusing on the now or the future at the expense of grappling with and understanding the pastThe impact of consumerism on how patients approach mental health treatmentLearn more about hannah baer:trans girl suicide museumInstagram: @malefragilityLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingThe Kiln SchoolInstagram: @atherapistcantsaythatResources:Wikipedia: Who Is a Jew?Therapy Was Never SecularThe Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients, Irvin YalomThe Case for God, Karen ArmstrongHannah ArendtBuilding a Life Worth Living, Marsha M.

Matt shares his insights on the power of giving time to others, the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people, and the success he has achieved through his unique approach to business networking.  Referral relationships play a pivotal role in business growth, and Matt understands the significance of building these partnerships, especially for startups. He shares his blueprint for creating a 6-figure referral marketing plan and explains how implementing this system with a team can generate a 7-figure return from networking alone. Whether you're an early entrepreneur or an established business owner, Matt's framework provides invaluable guidance in training your sales team and taking your business to new heights.  But networking isn't just about numbers and transactions for Matt. It's about creating a community where individuals can connect personally, forging meaningful relationships beyond business. That is why BX Networking stands out from other traditional networking groups. Matt's vision is to provide a space where members can participate as little or as much as they want, attend different locations, and build referral partnerships outside the room.  Join Vinay Koshy as he dives deep into the mind of Matt Alderton, a leader who understands the true essence of time, the magic of building referral relationships, and the power of surrounding oneself with the right people. Matt Alderton is a passionate entrepreneur and business coach who dedicated his career to helping people develop and achieve their fullest potential.

Next month, our family remembers one of the most important anniversaries of our life together–the adoption day of our youngest son. We view this day as a blessing and a celebration, but for our son, that day holds a whole mix of feelings. While he loves us and is securely knit in the love of our family, his story holds confusion and loss that are an inherent part of a child's separation from their birth parents.As our son grows, we want to create space in our home for him to express his emotions, ask questions, and be confident that he is a wonderful and valuable person. This can be challenging and requires a special set of skills as well as an extra dose of understanding.As parents, it can be hard to know what is happening inside your adopted child. They don't always share what they are going through. And they may even be acting out on emotions or beliefs that they are hiding. As a parent, you may be wondering how can we understand your child and their experiences.Our guest today is Susan TeBos. Susan is a writer, speaker, Bible study leader, adoption advocate, and adoptive mom of three children. She is the author of We've Been There: True Stories, Surprising Insights, and Aha Moments for Adopted Teens.Susan shares with us:Her story of international adoptionWhy adopted teens may resist bringing up the pastThe importance of honing your observation skillsAnd more!We hope this conversation is an encouragement to you as you help your adopted child navigate the teenage years!Show Notes: https://growinghometogether.com/susan-tebos-74

When Mark and I went through the dark season in our marriage, it's no surprise that we sought out counseling. However, what most people find surprising is that our counselor focused more on untangling our childhoods than our skills as a couple. That was exactly what we needed in order to restore our marriage and move forward!We all have a past, but what we don't often realize is how much what happened “then” affects us now. (Even if your "then" wasn't very negative!) This is the topic we are going to dig into in this conversation and it applies to every person, even if you aren't married.Helping me navigate this is Pastor Elliott Anderson, who is the Assistant Professor of Psychology at Judson University and the Pastor at Solid Rock Church in Elgin, IL. Elliott's areas of expertise include counseling, identity formation, sexuality, addiction, adoption, foster care, marriage, family, and the integration of faith and psychology. He's the author of several books and co-host of the podcast Love and Life Media. When I learned about his resources, I couldn't help but notice how similarly he speaks and thinks to Mark and I!In this conversation, you'll hear:Why the key to your future often lies in the pastThe three A's that tear down intimacyThe importance of making the decision to find healingAnd so much more!I really enjoyed talking with Elliott and am eager to share this episode with you!Show Notes:  https://jillsavage.org/elliott-anderson-142

Drawing upon the work of Zecharia Sitchin, the Book of Genesis, Sumerian clay tablets, and archaeological evidence such as ancient radioactive skeletons, Chris Hardy reveals the ancient nuclear event that destroyed the Sumerian civilization and the power struggles of the “gods” that led up to it.Examines the Anunnaki gods' evolving relationships with humanity, their power struggles, and the details of their nuclear war on Earth• Analyzes the crisis and rationale behind the Anunnaki decision to nuke 5 cities in the Jordan plain, resulting in the obliteration of Sumerian civilization• Draws upon the work of Zecharia Sitchin, the Book of Genesis, Sumerian clay tablets, and archaeological evidence such as ancient radioactive skeletons• Examines the Anunnakis' lack of higher consciousness, their reliance on technology, their sacred power objects and sacred geometry, and the possibility of Anunnaki bases on Mars in the distant pastThe detonation of nuclear weapons in the 20th century was not the first time humanity has seen such terrible destruction. Drawing upon the work of Zecharia Sitchin, the Book of Genesis, Sumerian clay tablets, and archaeological evidence such as ancient radioactive skeletons, Chris Hardy reveals the ancient nuclear event that destroyed the Sumerian civilization and the power struggles of the “gods” that led up to it.The author explains how the Anunnaki came to Earth from the planet Nibiru seeking gold to repair their ozone layer. Using genetic engineering, they created modern humanity to do their mining work and installed themselves as our kings and our gods. Anunnaki god Enki had a fatherly relationship with the first two humans. Then Enlil, Enki's brother, took over as Commander of Earth, instating a sole-god theocracy and a war against the clan of Enki and humanity for spoiling the Anunnaki bloodlines through interbreeding. This shift imposed a blackout not only of the very human nature of the Anunnaki “gods” but also of humanity's own ancient past on Earth.Two of Enlil's attacks against the Enki clan and humanity are described in the stories of the Deluge and the Tower of Babel. His final attempt, after coercing the Assembly of the Gods into voting yes, was the nuclear bombing of 5 cities of the Jordan plain, including Sodom and Gomorrah, which resulted in the destruction of the Sumerian civilization and the Anunnakis' own civilization on Earth, including their space port in the Sinai. The author reveals how, after each attempt, humanity was saved by Enki, chief scientist Ninmah, and Enki's son Hermes.The author explores how the Anunnakis' reliance on technology and their recurrent wars caused them to lose touch with cosmic consciousness. And she reveals how we will be doomed to repeat this dynamic until humanity awakens to our true origins.Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in ethno-psychology. A cognitive scientist and former researcher at Princeton's Psychophysical Research Laboratories, she has spent many years investigating nonlocal consciousness through systems theory, chaos theory, and her own Semantic Fields Theory. The author of many research papers and published books, including DNA of the Gods and The Sacred Network, she lives in France.

In this episode, you'll also hear:How experiencing rejection and loneliness led Lystra to reach out to others who felt outcasted and aloneHow to push through and let go of baggage from the pastThe importance of standing up for what you believe to be your calling from God – even if it means facing persecutionThe root cause of procrastination and how to overcome itLystra's advice for those who find it hard to stay hopeful in the face of persecution or doubtsBe sure to read all the way to the end for important links and information!It's so easy to get boxed in, and to let others dictate who we are and what we do. But Lystra Wilson is here to encourage you to resist. To stand up for yourself and who God called you to be. It's your own journey, and you are the one that's accountable for the gifts, skills, and talents that God has placed in you. So don't be afraid to be different, to blaze your own trail and to chart your own course. You see, Lystra has also had to battle this. She's had to fight to be distinctly different, and now she's on a mission to encourage others to step into the fullness of who God has called them to be. God has a plan for you, and your calling is much bigger than anything anyone could ever imagine. So let Lystra encourage you not to give up on yourself. No matter how hard things seem, the best is yet to come. Rejection Starts EarlyLystra says her experience with rejection started from the very beginning of her life. As a baby, she was put up for adoption. Though she was adopted into a wonderful Christian family who raised her in the Pentecostal Church, she always had a sense of being somewhat on the outside. “In a Pentecostal Church, there's lots of activity,” she explains. “Lots of loud music, lots of people shouting and being free to be who they are. But somewhere in the midst of that, I always felt kind of tied up.” Though she watched others being free to jump, raise their hands, sing, or stand up and testify, she often felt embarrassed to do the same. Or, if she did work up the courage to step up and lead, she found herself facing backlash or even ridicule. On top of that, she looked very different from her adoptive family, and always felt like she didn't quite fit in with other children her age. But as she grew up, Lystra found ways to help others who felt the same way.“It just became my thing over time that I would make friends with the underdog, the person who was eating lunch by themselves, the kid at church who didn't have a bunch of friends circled around them,” she recalls. “I would go to that person and start talking to them and make friends with them. Somehow, I guess I felt I could relate or because I didn't want them to be by themselves. I was willing to be their friend.Now, Lystra realizes this is one of her gifts: wanted to help people find healing, happiness, and purpose, free from the burdens and loneliness of their pasts.Carrying Too Much BaggageIn Lystra's experience, Satan often tries to take circumstances we've been through – things like abuse or neglect that have happened to us – and turn them into our identity. When we hold onto the bitterness and pain of those circumstances and think of them as our identity, it can hold us captive, blocking our prayers and our spiritual potential. “All of that baggage you're holding onto is taking space in your soul,” Lystra adds. “So you don't have room for beauty. You don't have room for the good things, the identity, the love of God and the fruit of the Spirit.” She explains that the way to clear out the pain and bitterness and make room for goodness is to recognize the difference between what the Enemy is doing and what God's plan is. When we succeed at shifting our mindset in this way, it empowers us to push through the barriers that are in our path. To illustrate, Lystra gives the example of a traveler carrying far too many bags. “It's like you're going to the airport and you've got five or six bags you're trying to roll around,” she says. “The end result of that is you're exhausted… But at the end of the day, if you were to drop the baggage, you might have enjoyed your trip.” Think about it: what joys of life have you missed because you were too busy carrying other baggage? What can you do to let some of that burden go, so you'll be free to pursue your calling and realize your potential?Context MattersLystra's desire to see people set free from their baggage eventually led her to publish her book, Five-Fold Females, which helps women identify their gifts for ministry and step into leadership. She explains that many women in the church have been rejected as leaders despite being gifted and called by God. “I wrote the book to help women who were being persecuted and held out of leadership positions,” Lystra says. “Titles that they feel called to in their soul, but they were not ‘allowed' by men to hold these offices because of a couple of scriptures that people are taking out of context.”Lystra believes it's essential that we study the Bible in context, so we can understand what the Scriptures are really saying within the context of when they were written. She wants women to view themselves as God created them – not as other people have told them they must be. “That's why I wrote the book: to help those women who may have grown up in those various denominations and were told they couldn't be leaders, and so they've never examined that they might be,” she concludes. “So examine yourself – and not only not from this perspective, what people say you can't do, but from the perspective of what God created you to do.”Maybe you've been there. Maybe you had an idea of what your calling might be, but it just didn't seem acceptable in your circles. As a result, you've squashed that desire, believing it must not really be your calling. If that's you, Lystra wants to remind you that your calling isn't always going to be popular. History is full of amazing leaders who were persecuted and killed for the work they were called to accomplish. Like those leaders, you might need to take a revolutionary stand for change. Or you may simply need to move to a new environment – maybe even a new church – where you will no longer be stifled. However, this kind of action is also often discouraged in Christian circles. Many people who move to a new church experience guilt-tripping and being called “church-hoppers.” But sometimes, as Lystra has seen, leaving may be the best thing you can do. “God did not call me to be in a box and taped up where other people cannot experience His glory through me,” she says. While her intention is never to break up families or ministries, Lystra does believe it's important for us to remember that the permission to be who God has created us to be comes from God alone – not other people's approval. Defeating the Procrastination GiantLystra says that while the writing of her book only took about a month, getting it published was another story. Not only did she face external challenges – including persecution from fellow Christians – but she also had to battle her own fears that were holding her back. “There's something about making something permanent that makes you feel like you're so vulnerable out there for people to say you're wrong, or for people to persecute you in some kind of way,” Lystra explains. “And so the enemy wants to put that fear in you and raise that up, so that you believe it so much that you never do it.”That's why Lystra says procrastination is rooted in fear. Specifically, the fear of “What if?” Sometimes it's the fear of what others will think when they read it. Other times it's the fear of failure and not living up to your calling. And sometimes it's the fear of succeeding and having to move on and find something else to fill the void left by the project you've been working on for so long. Lystra compares those “what if” fears with the story of David and Goliath. Just as none of the Israelite soldiers wanted to take on the giant Goliath, most of us would prefer to avoid our “what if”s. But, like David, we need to learn to run toward our fears instead. “You have to push past your inner fear of what people are going to say, because the fear of people, the fear of man, it's a false fear,” Lystra explains. “Because most of the time, people will celebrate the thing that you are most afraid of.” Despite her own fears and family crises, Lystra was able to push through by trusting that God had called her to publish this book because it was important. She pictured herself as a sort of David, championing the cause of the women she had been called to help. Though it meant sacrificing sleep and facing tough challenges, she knew she was working for the greater cause of God's Kingdom – and that was enough to keep her going. The Enemy Is Afraid of YOUMaybe you find yourself in a similar place. You've tried to step into your calling and the true identity of who God created you to be, but you've fallen under attack because of it. Now you're tired, weary, and finding it hard to stay positive and hopeful. If that's you, you're not alone. For those who have suffered rejection, abandonment, or feeling like they aren't good enough, Lystra offers encouragement and hope: you can heal from past hurts, move into your calling, and fulfill the purpose God has in store for you. “If you continue to get hit, you continue to get stolen from – the enemy's attempts to steal, kill, and destroy keep hitting your front door – then you know that you have something valuable,” Lystra says. “You know that you have gold inside. You have something that is not just for your own self and your family, but it's for the world. You have something that's not going to just affect your life, but it's going to affect generations inside of you. And that's the part that the enemy wants to stop.”When you push through that fear and step into your calling with God's help, you have the power to affect not only your own life, but also the lives of others for generations to come.  BIO:Born, raised, and still residing in beautiful Southern California, Lystra Aloha Lani Wilson is Mom to three dynamic entrepreneurs and Nani to four gifted grandchildren.

I love a good dating reality show. I've talked before about how much I love all the Bachelor and Bachelorette shows, and Love Is Blind 2 is no different!

I know that, for women especially, there is this pressure to settle down and start a family, and that pressure may grow the older you get. I get it! I used to face this same struggle in my dating life when it wasn't working out, and I just hadn't found my person yet. And the longer you spend in your dating life without your Mr. or Ms. Right, it may be easy to think about “wasted time” that you spent with the wrong person. I'm going to let you know right off the bat that wasted time is just a thought. The time that you spent in the relationships you were in is a completely neutral circumstance.I believe that the time you spent in previous relationships, or time you spent healing your heart was definitely not wasted. You are exactly where you need to be in order to find your person. In this episode, I dig into those reasons you may feel like you wasted your time so that we can clean up that drama and that urgency, in order to call love in. Let's also look at examples of where I believe that you may be delaying finding your person and how you can move through that so you can find the love of your life. If you are struggling with cleaning up your past or making difficult decisions in order to call love in, with your person, I invite you to join my one-year group coaching program, Stop Wanting Him Back and Find Someone Better.

The highest rent you'll ever pay is for the hurts, sorrows, and unforgiveness that occupy the space in your heart and mind. While thinking of those hurtful breakups, toxic relationships, unresolved lies, or the unrepairable damaging acts of others, it may be hard to channel the wisdom of poet Edwin Hubbel Chapin, "Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge.” However, what ancient wisdom already has known, the research now shows that there's an extraordinary healing power in taking steps to forgive others and even yourself.On this episode, Commonwealth Professor Emeritus working from the Department of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University, clinical psychologist, and author, Dr. Everett Worthington, Ph.D., discusses how forgiveness is a choice and a skill that can emerge with appropriate mental framing and psychological and prosocial practices.About Everett L Worthington, JrEverett Worthington, Ph.D., is Commonwealth Professor Emeritus working from the Department of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Becoming a wine critic sounds like a dream for many.  However, even though the cost and effort of setting up a website and putting out information have declined dramatically, doing the work of becoming a professional is no easy task - the time and effort it takes to taste and review thousands of wines a year is daunting.  Jeb's journey from aerospace engineer to reviewer of The Wine Advocate to being the Editor-in-Chief of jebdunnuck.com highlights the passion required for the journey.  Jeb talks about his journey, critics going independent, blind tasting, score inflation, and more, all in service of helping his subscribers make informed wine buying decisions.  Another unique viewpoint on the evolution of the wine critic on XChateau!Detailed Show Notes: Jeb's backgroundHe grew up on a farm in rural Indiana - no wine on the tableSelf-trained in wineHe traveled through France and fell in love with wineHe never had an epiphany wineWorked at Lockheed Martin in upstate New York - was an aerospace engineer for his initial careerDid a part-time job at a wine store in Denver2008 - created a website - The Rhone ReportReleased a quarterly pdf for free for 3 yearsBuilt a subscriber base for 2 years2013 - Robert Parker asked him to work at The Wine Advocate (“TWA”)Worked at TWA for 5 yearsHaving a chance to work with Robert Parker was key to joining2017 - left TWA and started JebDunnuck.comThe Rhone Report reviews were morphed into JebDunnuck.comLeft TWA because Jeb disagreed with the direction of the new ownership, the culture changed dramaticallyWine critic vs. wine publicationBelieves the person writing the reviews is more important than the publicationThe business model of publications lean them to emphasizing the publication over the criticIt's up to the consumer to know their criticsJebDunnuck.com (“JD”)More of a “singular voice”He doesn't believe in large teams of criticsJebDunnuck.com has a small group of critics covering multiple regions eachJeb doesn't pretend to be a writer as he comes from an engineering background => his goal is to help the consumer make buying decisions and find the wines they likeWrites concise vintage reports, talks about style and structure of winesHe doesn't write opinion pieces, commentary, or do eventsHe doesn't take money to review wines, completely subscriber fundedReviews 9-12k wines/yearCritics going independentBelieves the trend is actually towards more business-driven, team-driven critic reviews => the size of the wine world is so big that it is pushing that wayIf the critic is the most important thing for reviews, going independent is the way to do wine criticismBest practices for wine critic ethicsDon't take money from people making the productThere are shades of grey - e.g., sometimes people pick up the tab at a dinnerCritics should pay their own way (airfare, hotels, meals, etc.…)JD buys a lot of wines but could not purchase them allCost of being independentWebsite and getting information out is low nowBut providing professional (e.g., extensive) coverage is hard and expensive (time, travel)Blind tastingJeb is a fan of blind tasting for how to approach winesBelieves the role of the critic is more than the tasting note - it's to provide context on the region and the producer (which can't be done with blind tasting)People promoting blind tasting are taking money from the trade, so Jeb believes they have to sell their processImpact of top scoresLess impact today because so many great wines out thereMore great wines than ever before => lots of substitutes, even at 95+, 100 point scoresPathway for wineries to become iconicMake a consistently great wine, takes timeNeed to have wines tasted and reviewed by top publicationsNeed to make enough so people can try it and get exposure globallyScore inflation and compression“I do think scores have increased”Believes there's less compression - more critics are using the whole scale (up to 100) with more highly rated wines than in the pastThe format of score presentation now gives the appearance of score inflationScores used as email marketing will only be high onesMost people access scores online via a score database, sorting by the highest score vs. having to read through a printed documentScores used for large reports to give delineation between wines100 point wines for Jeb must have the following:Hedonistic pleasureIntellectual pleasureIntensity of aromas and flavorsAge abilitySingularity (they stand out)Barrel samplesSimilar to evaluating a young wine, can still be usefulRange ratings for barrel samples are important because the scores can come out before the wines are released, giving subscribers guidance for purchasingJD's subscriber baseDon't have a lot of demographic info on subscribersPretty serious about wine, mostly collectors~80% US-based, so CA wines are important to themUser-generated reviewsCellarTracker - useful because you can follow individualsAggregate reviews are not useful;  “0 x 100 = 0”

Lottie Davies was born in Guildford, UK, in 1971. She grew up in Surrey and was educated in Alton and Godalming. After a degree in philosophy at St Andrews University in Scotland, she moved back to England to pursue a career in photography. She is currently based in Cornwall in the south west of England.Lotties' unique style has been employed in a variety of contexts, including newspapers, glossy magazines, books and advertising. In recent years she has developed her practice to employ moving image, audio, text and interactive installation. This mixed media approach is crystallised in her long-term project Quinn (2014-2020).  Her work has garnered international acclaim with the image Quints, which won First Prize at the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Awards 2008 at the National Portrait Gallery in London, with Viola As Twins, which won the Photographic Art Award, Arte Laguna Prize in Venice in 2011, and her collaboration on Dreams of Your Life with Hide & Seek/Film 4.0 which was BAFTA-nominated in 2012.Lottie's work is concerned with stories and personal histories, the tales and myths we use to structure our lives. She takes inspiration from classical and modern painting, cinema and theatre as well as the imaginary worlds of literature. She employs a deliberate reworking of our visual vocabulary, playing on our notions of nostalgia and visual conventions with the intention of evoking a sense of recognition and narrative. Sandy Nairne, former director of the National Portrait Gallery in London, described Davies' work as “brilliantly imaginative”.On episode 156, Lottie discusses, among other things:Her relocation from London to Cornwallcurrent project, QuinnWhy she sets her work in the pastThe benefits of using an actor to represent her character, QuinnHow to acquire a baby for a shootWhy her mother was born in a bucketOn photographers not being considered artistsHer column for Professional Photographer‘Photobook Fails'The six phases of the creative processThe Empathy Museum portraitsMemories and NightmaresReferenced:Laura NobleSamuel J WeirForest School CampsMatt HarrisGordon MacDonaldCraig EastonDean PavittPaul SamsonGary Rhodes Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | Mutton Row Books“‘It's not painting is it?

Kirsten McKenzie's time travel series The Old Curiosity Shop has been likened to 'Antique Road Show Gone Viral' – and that's appropriate, because Kirsten is a former antiques dealer who is fascinated by the power of previously loved objects. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and Kirsten talks about historic time travel and her passion for unearthing ancient objects from archaeological digs. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: Kirsten's passion for digging up the pastThe serendipity of her first bookWhat she wishes she'd learned earlierHer time as a Shortland Street extraSpeed dating readers - and why she loves itThe importance of finding your tribe Where to find Kirsten McKenzie: Website: https://www.kirstenmckenzie.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kiwimrsmac/ Facebook: @kiwimrsmac  Twitter: https://twitter.com/Kiwimrsmac Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.nz/kiwimrsmac/ What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: And now, here's Kirsten. Hello, Kirsten and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Kirsten: Thank you for having me, Jenny. I appreciate it. Jenny: Look, I like to always start with the Once Upon A Time question, but people like to know the answer. Was there something that made you feel like an epiphany? That you had to write fiction? And if so, what was the catalyst for it? Kirsten McKenzie - mystery and thriller author Kirsten: A catalyst was a slow day at work, and it seems so banal. I was at work at my family's antique shop. There was an old Crown Lynn beehive Pudding basin on the counter. And that one item just made me go, "Oh, I've got a notebook in my handbag. Oh, there's nobody in the shop. I might write a book." And I don't even know where that came from. I went from being a customs officer thrust into helping run the family antique business to being a novelist, all because of that Crown Lynn Beehive Pudding basin. I don't know what it was. Jenny: So you can't quite pick what it was about that particular basin? Kirsten: No. But that was the exact moment where I thought "I'm going to write a book." And then when my brother, who I worked with, turned up, I said, "I'm going to write a novel." And he said "You never finish anything." And I was like, well, wow. Here we go. He issued the challenge. He did. And then it backfired on him because after my second book, I quit my job and started writing full time. Starting out as a writer Jenny:  So how did you get from there to historical dual timeline novels? Kirsten: Well, the pudding basin made my character really, because works at an antique shop -  which is what the main character in Fifteen Postcards does. And then, if I thought back to the pudding basin when it was brand new. . . I mean, if you think about everything in an antique shop or a second hand shop,  everything was loved at one point. Crown Lynn Beehive Pudding basin - catalyst for a Kirsten McKenzie book So who was it who loved that pudding basin when it was first manufactured? And I know a lot through my work about the Victorian times. I'm not so au fait with the 1930s and 40s, so I just shot her back a few decades earlier. But everything's been loved and I wanted to go back to that moment in time when that item and the other items in the stories were loved by somebody.. We've all had things that we've loved; in our childhood a teddy bear, or a favorite photo frame or a favorite pen that we like to write with. And then over the years, you lose it or gets broken or you've moved house and you sell it. But at one point, that item was loved. The random creative process Jenny: So that's lovely. So very much your connection with the antique shop transferred over to your writing? Kirsten: Absolutely. And I would be writing in the summer holidays when my brother would be
