Los registros históricos mas cercanos nos llevan hasta Rothbury, zona minera en las que en los almacenes de carbon, los establos, y en las propias viviendas de los mineros, las ratas suponían un grandísimo problema ya que infestaban túneles y almacenes, destruían la comida y transmitían enfermedades. Para los mineros de Northurnberland que querían un perro capaz de exterminar las ratas que pululaban por las galerías, e incluso se dice que eran capaces de detectar y prever las explosiones de grisú, el Rothbury terrier era muy apreciado. A la hora de criarlos seleccionaban a los más rápidos, duros, los mejores ratoneros y cazadores nocturnos, pero les faltaba algo que ningún terrier hacia: entrar en las madrigueras y correr liebres en campo abierto, por lo que introducirían la sangre de Whippet, obteniendo de estos cruces ejemplares de espalda arqueada, patas largas, cintura estrecha y una gran aceleración. Un perro con la anatomía del lebrel y el cerebro del terrier. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás como han llegado hasta nuestros días; cuál es su carácter y qué necesitarán de ti para ser felices. Rafael, en esta ocasión, nos cuenta la manera tan extraña en la que un amigo suyo se hizo con una pareja. Te invito a que visites la web de la escuela canina Quercus. https://www.escuelacanina.com.

Los ancestros más remotos del Alano los encontramos en los perros tipo moloso del mundo antiguo, de hecho los bajo relieves asirio babilónicos que se hayan depositados en el museo de historia antigua de Londres, dan detalle de estos perros usados para la guerra junto a soldados ataviados de uniforme. El nombre “Alano” viene del pueblo iranio de los Alanos, que invadieron la península en el siglo V durante las migraciones bárbaras. Junto a ellos también llegarían unos perros de presa muy duros, usados para la guerra y manejo de ganado, a los que podemos considerar antecesores directos del Alano Español, que derivaban, en parte, como una estirpe que se aisló por parte de esas tribus de los perros de guerra romanos. Durante la Edad Media, en reinos como Castilla, León y Navarra, la caza mayor era una actividad esencial en la que se demostraba el poder nobiliario. También era la manera de poner control sobre la fauna peligrosa. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás como han llegado hasta nuestros días después de estar casi al borde de la extinción y quienes colaboraron en su recuperación. Por supuesto te contaremos cuál es su carácter y qué necesitarán de ti para ser felices. Rafael, en esta ocasión, nos habla de sus alanos de rehala y de algunos ejemplares con los que ha hecho amistad en los rines de exposición. Agradecer a Jesús Garcia Cano de la red Manchapod, Iñaki Urdangarín de Restañando el alma y Victor Gabriel de El diario de Argifonte, el prestarnos sus voces en este episodio.

Para pueblos como los mexicas, los perros no eran solo animales domésticos: eran seres capaces de moverse entre mundos, el de los vivos y el de los muertos. Xólotl, hermano gemelo de Quetzalcóatl, regalaría a los humanos unos perros creados del hueso de la vida, para ayudarles a salvar sus espíritus en la travesía por el inframundo, y de ahí que para los mexicas fueran sagrados. En códices y representaciones prehispánicas aparecen perros más estilizados, a veces más robustos o con rasgos “lobunos”, Pero no hay evidencia clara de que fueran híbridos reales, más bien podrían ser interpretaciones artísticas o variaciones de perros nativos ya desaparecidos. A partir de la década de 1990, un grupo de criadores y científicos liderados por la Federación Canófila Mexicana inició un proyecto para recrear este perro ancestral, pero no fue simplemente cruzar un perro con un lobo, fue un proceso largo y controlado. El objetivo no era inventar un perro nuevo desde cero, sino recrear un tipo físico y simbólico inspirado en los perros lobo representados en la iconografía prehispánica. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás la leyenda y como se creó y fijó la raza. Por supuesto te contaremos cuál es su carácter y qué necesitará de ti para ser feliz. Rafael, en esta ocasión, nos cuenta los distintos mitos que hay sobre el perro negro universal. Te invito a que visites la web de la escuela canina Quercus, https://www.escuelacanina.com.

Entre el siglo I a.C. y V d.C, ya existían perros pequeños utilizados para mantener a raya a ratas, ratones y otros roedores, que el Imperio romano expandirían por Europa incluyendo a la región de Germania En la Alta Edad Media, entre los siglos V y X, tras la caída de Roma, estos perros continuarían viviendo en las granjas europeas. No eran razas definidas, sino perros funcionales adaptados localmente en entornos rurales. En la Edad Moderna ya estarían muy extendidos en Europa central, y se les comenzaría a diferenciar en tipos regionales con características más definidas. En las zonas rurales serian más robustos y resistentes al clima. En las ciudades y en los establos más pequeños, rápidos y ágiles. En las regiones frías sus pelajes tendían a ser más densos o duros, mientras que en las templadas predominaba el pelo corto. En la Alemania del siglo XVIII, estos perros ratoneros de granja ya serian bastante comunes y ya se hablaría de un tipo Pinscher. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás como se fijó la raza, qué personas han tenido un papel clave y cómo han llegado hasta nuestros días. Por supuesto te contaremos cuál es su carácter y qué necesitará de ti para ser feliz. Rafael, en esta ocasión, nos cuenta sus vivencias con ambos tamaños.

El primer registro escrito que nos encontramos de ellos, data del año 391, en el que Quinto Aurelio Símaco, político romano, agradecería el que se le enviaran unos perros irlandeses a los que describiría como impresionantes, enormes y capaces de luchar contra fieras en los espectáculos romanos. Los relatos épicos irlandeses, como los del héroe Cú Chulainn que data del siglo 8 A.C, que se ha ido transmitiendo oralmente durante miles de años, y mas tarde en manuscritos medievales ingleses, ya se mencionaría perros gigantes, probablemente inspirados en ellos. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás como evolucionaron hasta llegar a nuestros días, qué personas han tenido un papel clave y cómo han conseguido reponerse tras estar tres veces en peligro de extinción. Por supuesto te contaremos cuál es su carácter y qué necesitará de ti para ser feliz.

Here, Vishvapani  focuses on the Buddha's experience before, during and after Enlightenment, bringing his nuanced, perceptive reading to the words the Buddha himself is said to have employed in order to best evoke his experiences as he struggled to give voice to them. Excerpted from the talk entitled The Buddha's Vision given as part of the book launch for 'Gautama Buddha: The Life and Teachings of the Awakened One' (Quercus, 2011), Bristol Buddhist Centre, 2011, a fitting conclusion to a wonderfully insightful series called Gautama Buddha. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

Hace más de 7.000 años, agricultores procedentes del próximo oriente llegarían a la península ibérica acompañados de perros descendientes de los primeros domesticados en Eurasia, aunque algunos investigadores plantean que estos perros ibéricos pertenecían a poblaciones caninas europeas muy antiguas, anteriores a la difusión de los orientales. Probablemente eran de tipo lupoide con un tamaño medio, un cuerpo atlético y resistente; hocico relativamente largo; orejas semierguidas o erguidas; cola en forma de hoz y pelaje denso y adaptado al clima local. La zona del actual norte de Portugal y Galicia, donde más tarde surgiría Castro Laboreiro, es montañosa y de difícil acceso. En estos tiempos se encontraba totalmente aislada, lo que facilitaría el que sus perros conservaran rasgos muy antiguos como una gran resistencia física, independencia en la toma de decisiones y un fuerte instinto territorial, produciéndose una selección natural muy marcada, ya que en estas duras condiciones solo sobrevivían los más resistentes, inteligentes y valientes.

Martin McNicoll, founder of Distillerie des Cantons de l’Est This is the first episode in an occasional In The Channel series called “Life after the channel” – conversations with people who built careers in the Canadian IT channel and then went on to do something completely different. Martin McNicoll founded Gurus Solutions, originally ERP Guru, and grew it into one of NetSuite’s most decorated Canadian partners over nearly two decades – President’s Club, nine consecutive years as a Five Star Award winner, and offices from Montreal to Chicago. He sold the company in 2022 and turned his attention to something that had been brewing since a 50th birthday trip to Scotland: whisky. Distillerie des Cantons de l’Est is a grain-to-bottle operation in Mansonville, Quebec, where Martin and his team are growing organic barley and rye using regenerative agriculture, distilling on-site, and aging their whisky in oak casks. First barrels went in in December 2024, with the first whiskies expected around 2028. In this conversation, we talk about the failed attempt to buy a cask at Balvenie that started it all, the sale of Gurus and what made him finally say yes, why the skills he built running an ERP consultancy translate surprisingly well to running a distillery, and what it means to retrain a SaaS-speed brain for a product that takes years to mature. Martin also shares the story behind the McNicoll brand – his Scottish ancestors who came to Quebec with the 78th Fraser’s Highlanders in 1757 – and talks about the fight to get a distillery approved on Quebec agricultural land, replanting American oak for barrels that won’t be ready for 30 years, and what’s coming next, including a butterscotch liqueur later this year. Read Full Transcript Robert Dutt: Hello and welcome to In The Channel from ChannelBuzz.ca, bringing news and information to the Canadian IT channel community for the last 16 years. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca and your host for the show. This episode is a little different from what you’re used to hearing on In The Channel. It’s the first in what I’m hoping becomes an occasional series I’m calling “Life After the Channel” – conversations with people who built careers in the Canadian IT channel and then went on to do something completely different. My guest today is Martin McNicoll. If you were in the NetSuite ecosystem in Canada at any point over the last two decades, you probably know Martin. He founded ERP Guru, which was later rebranded to Gurus Solutions, grew it into one of NetSuite’s top partners in the country, picked up every award in the book, and eventually sold the company in 2022. And then he went and did something that nobody saw coming. Martin’s now building a grain-to-bottle whisky distillery in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, growing his own organic barley and rye, aging his own barrels, and building a brand rooted in his family’s Scottish heritage going back to the 1700s. It’s a great story. So let’s get right into it, my chat with Martin McNicoll. [MUSIC] Robert: Martin, thanks for taking the time. Thanks for joining us. Martin McNicoll: Robert, it’s great to be here with you today. Robert: Nice to catch up. We ran into each other a lot at SuiteWorld. And for years, when I talked to Craig West about the channel in Canada for NetSuite, you guys would be one of the first names that came up. President’s Club, Five Star, the whole nine yards. And now you’re making whisky in the Eastern Townships. Walk me through that. How did we come to be where we’re at today? Martin: Well, it’s a note on Craig. He was my RSM. He was the guy managing me and Gurus when you started. He wasn’t like head of the channel. He actually came down to Montreal to help me start the practice. So we connected for all that time. But to go back to the whisky business, I’m a Scotch fan. I’m a whisky fan. And now, like eight years ago, for my 50th birthday, I went to Scotland with a bunch of friends and had a great time visiting distilleries for a full week, just drinking Scotch and having fun and eating good food. And when we came back, a couple of years later, it was COVID. And COVID, I think, happened and a lot of people got ideas of what they really want to do. And I have a cottage in the Eastern Townships, which is, for your listeners, a bit up north of Vermont. I’m 15 minutes from Jay Peak, which is a ski resort in Vermont, on the Canada side. Beautiful place. And we stayed there for the first year of COVID. We had amazing success with Gurus. I think for everybody in the channel, cloud services companies really boomed during that time. Everybody wanted to run their business from home. It was a great time. And I said, what can we do? We had supply chain issues our customers were trying to solve. And I said, what can I do? What can I contribute? I started with ideas of being a farmer. These were shut down pretty fast. But a friend of mine said, you know what, we can grow barley and rye and we can make whisky. And I said, oh, that’s a great idea. And then the hunt was on. We found some land – I mean, that’s the only thing we could do during COVID, drive around and look for land – and found great land with a great combination of good water and enough acreage to grow the cereals. And it started like that. And then a French company approached us to buy Gurus. And it was just the right timing. So everything happened. It just gave me more money to spend on booze, sort of saying. Robert: As it should be. So to your point on that 2018 trip to Scotland, I read that the dream sort of began with a mission of bringing home a cask of whisky. Is that true? Martin: It is true. We tried to, actually. When we went to the Balvenie and we said we’d like to buy one of your casks. And they looked at us like aliens. It’s like going to a Michelin restaurant and asking to buy the pan of the chef, right? Because the cask is part of the process. That’s what gives some of the aromas to the whisky. That’s where it’s aging. So you just can’t leave with the cask. You just can’t. I mean, I guess there were some barrel programs today, but you leave the cask there. You buy the liquid that’s in the cask, that’s all yours, but you can’t leave with the cask. But that was funny. That led to very interesting conversations at the distilleries in Scotland. Crazy Canadians trying to buy a cask. That’s the IP. That’s the trade secrets of the industry. Robert: So you had Gurus for 18 years, Alan Allman Associates comes knocking. You said initially you didn’t want to sell. What changed your mind? How much of it was about making room for the distillery that was already percolating in the back of your mind versus just feeling like it was the right time to do something new? Martin: I mean, it was that. I wanted to dedicate more time, because at that point the guy running Gurus was my COO, Dominic, and he was doing a great job. I was taking more time off and giving him more bandwidth on the business to run it. And I wanted him to be the president and continue running it. And these guys came in and they said, “We want to buy your company.” I said, “Okay, I’m not interested.” So they came back a couple times and the second time said, “Okay, how much do you want?” And I gave what I thought was a crazy number and they said yes. So I was done. And today it’s one of the most profitable businesses they have in their portfolio, and they’ve added other ERPs to the mix buying other companies in North America. And for the French, Quebec and Canada is kind of the bridgehead to go to the rest of Canada and the US. They needed a company that can speak English, which Gurus dealt with very well all the time. Not all of them do. But it was great for them. A great acquisition on their side. I’m still sitting on their board in Montreal every quarter, so it keeps me connected to the business, having fun there and very proud to see the company continue to thrive. Robert: You guys built Gurus through a string of acquisitions – Enabled Success, NetStra, MD Technical Resources. You had offices from Montreal to Chicago. When you look at what you’re doing now with the distillery – buying land, building infrastructure, hiring a master distiller – does it feel like it’s the same muscles that you built in building up Gurus, or is it completely different? Martin: It is the same thing. That’s very funny. I thought it would be something else. It’s not. It’s just managing people, managing providers. I mean, the problems are different – it’s like a truck being stuck emptying a cargo of casks going to the distillery, or a pump that is broken. But it’s like following up with the providers, finding the right partners, researching, researching, researching, reading. And all the skills that I’ve developed in BI and everything that we’ve built with Gurus is fully applied here at the distillery. So I started with cloud solutions first, and we’re using all the Google stack, which I always used, with their Google Cloud. All the data of the distillery is stored in a Google Cloud database and we can do analysis. It’s just great to look at it from a data perspective and have the right people to do the job. And I recognize what I’m good at and what I’m not good at. So I break stuff sometimes. That keeps me away from some pieces of equipment. Robert: One thing that jumped out on the website for the distillery was the grain-to-bottle concept. You grow the grain, you distill it, you age it, you sell it. You control the whole chain. For 20 years you kind of sat as the middleman doing the consulting and implementation in between NetSuite and the customer. Was it something about that experience that made you want to own the whole thing this time around? Martin: Definitely. And as you know, Robert, in the ERP channel, it’s not your software, it’s NetSuite. And my team understood the software, and the best successes we had were when we found a customer, sold NetSuite, understood the requirements, gave them a realistic estimate, implemented, and took them live with the right time frame. So that to me was like the perfect – everything that would work great, boom, boom, boom. We sold, we implemented, we took them live, converted all their data. Happy customers stayed with us for years. And that was a bit of that, right? Where the channel model is changing – like the Salesforce model, even NetSuite is changing where there’s more of a side where you need to work with a direct sales team, which by definition have different objectives. Their objective is to sell the software for as much as possible. As for a partner, when you do the implementation, there’s a lot in it for you also in year two and year three. So you want the whole thing to go as smooth as possible. Different pros and cons there. And I think that was definitely an inspiration in owning the whole supply chain and making the product. And even then, I need to buy bottles from China. Robert: Yeah, it’s the classic case study, right? If one person could make a nail, it would be completely impossible to gather all the skills you would need to go from getting the metal out of the earth to producing a nail, much less a bottle of whisky, much less enterprise ERP. The distillery website says patience is part of your essence, and whisky obviously is a product that has to age for years before you can sell a bottle. In the channel, again to the contrast you were just describing, everything’s about this quarter’s numbers, this year’s President’s Club. It’s fast, it’s iterative, things change very quickly, new features are added rapidly. How do you retrain your brain from SaaS speed to whisky speed? Martin: I’m still impatient. But you know what, you go out in the field. And in the last couple years we had a lot of rain. And we had issues with weeds going into our fields, because we took fields that were used for hay to give to cows. So there’s a lot of seeds that you need to take out of that land. And we’re doing it with regenerative agriculture techniques, where we don’t use Roundup, we don’t use chemicals. And sometimes you just sit there and you prepare the soil and then you go into the field and you make it super nice and you plant. And then two weeks later it’s full of weeds. Like hectares of weeds just popping up on top of your barley. And you’re like, yeah, what are you going to do? You try, you go in there first and you try to pull them out, and then you realize the scale of this. It’s impossible, right? So patience is pushed on you, I would say, in agriculture. And for the whisky, I mean, we’re tasting it. I love whisky. And we have now barrels that are one year old. And these are rye – rye is something that grows very fast, very high, super easy. It’s like a weed in itself if you talk to the farmers. So we had a great crop of rye and we made our first rye last year. So we were opening up that cask and tasting it now, and it is great. But you can taste after one year the immaturity of the whisky. So I think you have to trust your taste buds and say, okay, this is great. There’s something nice, nice colour, this is the direction I want it to take. But it’s not ready. So you sit on it, you put the cork on top of it, hammer it down, and then just wait again. And I’m telling people, when is it ready? It’s going to be ready when it’s ready. It’s going to be great. Robert: Can’t rush it. You’re working 60 acres of organic grain, you’re building your rickhouse, you’re hiring a master distiller, you’re planning a tasting centre. This doesn’t sound like a hobby thing for retirement. This is a full second career. Do you find you’re working harder now than you were when you were running Gurus? Martin: Definitely. Because at the end, when you build a business, you assemble a team and people know what to do. You’ve got a PMO office, a back office, and a marketing team. And now you’re alone. So I’m like, can I get some help here? I have nobody. So you’re back into entering data in QuickBooks. No, I’ve solved that, I delegated that. But it’s tough. And the problem is, when I sold the business, I told my wife I’m retiring. And she said, yeah, yeah, you’re retiring. But I didn’t think, and she didn’t think, it would be this intense in terms of running it. And you’re fighting against all the bureaucracy and you have to understand all the rules, environmental rules. And you have to understand, to be a farmer, you have to apply for a permit to be a farmer. So what’s your background, sir? Well, I’m a software engineer. So really, good thing. Do you know about farming? Absolutely not. Okay, what are you going to do about it? Well, I’m going to hire someone. Who is it? I don’t know. Well, you need to get the licence first. So no, I found someone actually that really helped me and was working in the prairies in Saskatchewan for more than 10 years, working with cereals there. So it’s assembling a team, making it work together, putting all the resources in place so they can succeed. It’s the same thing. What I like is the manual labour, which you don’t get in tech. I’ve lost some weight. So that’s good, being out there and working with the equipment. One of the projects we’re working on now – for your listeners, we’re in March and mid-March in Quebec, it’s still very cold, it’s like minus 15 Celsius – so it’s the last time we’ll be able to go in the forest. And what we’re doing is harvesting some trees to plant oak trees. We’re introducing Quercus alba, which is the American oak, into our forest, because we have more forest than we have land. And the goal would be in, I don’t know, 30 years – I won’t be there – to make some barrels, maybe. So again, in that supply chain of getting there. But there’s no more oak in the area. It was all cut down for the lumber industry. So we’re replanting. That’s one of the side projects. So we’re going to go out with the equipment on Friday and go in the woods and cut some trees. That’s something I didn’t used to do. And that’s what my job involves now. A chainsaw. I’m happy. Robert: This is what you get to invent for yourself. And if you’re happy, that’s brilliant. You’re making three types of whisky as I understand it – a single malt, you touched on the rye, and a Canadian bourbon, which is not a concept I’d heard before. Very interesting. I enjoy a whisky, I am not a well-educated drinker. But for those who are listening, what’s the vision of the distillery? What are you going for with the whisky products? Martin: So we’re looking to develop high-end whisky. We’re talking about $100 bottles. So it really needs to be fine-tuned to the taste of the different products that you build. When you talk about rye whisky, it’s mainly – the cereal has to be rye. Single malt is just barley. And when you talk about bourbon, or if you talk about bourbon in Kentucky, it’s mainly based out of corn. So we have corn also on the land and we’ve added some wheat that we’ve tried. It’s a mix of different – they call it a mash bill. So our mash bill, the cereals that get taken into the equipment for the mash to create a beer. We make a beer, then we distill that beer and that’s the whisky at the end. The big difference is the cereals. So that batch we had, I think it was two years ago, big winter, and we couldn’t get the rye out of our silos because of the amount of snow and ice that was out there. So we said, hey, we have some corn there. Why don’t we make some – it’s all Canadian whisky, right? If you look at the official denomination, it’s Canadian whisky. Don’t confuse marketing with the real stuff. But it’s a mash bill that involves more than 50% corn. In this one I think it’s 65% corn. And it has that – you’ll recognize it if you’re a bourbon drinker – that very sweet, mellow taste of corn that you get into the whisky. That’s what you get from bourbon. So that’s what we’re making with that corn. Robert: I look forward to trying that, actually. Hopefully someday. On your website, I love the clan story – the McNicoll ancestors coming over with the 78th Fraser’s Highlanders in 1757, fighting at Louisbourg and Quebec, settling in La Malbaie. And now you’re bringing that Scottish whisky tradition back to Quebec soil. How much of this, as well as the ability to play with the chainsaw and hopefully bring in some casks, how much of this is about honouring that heritage? Martin: Well, that was a big part. When I started to enjoy more whisky and go back to Scotland, I went back to the land of my ancestors. So that was Portree, close to the Isle of Skye. And there’s another area also, another region, that there’s two big areas that the McNicoll clan were. So I got to visit that. That was always part of the story. And then as I was publishing some of my content on Scotland, a professor from a university here in the Eastern Townships contacted me. He said, you know, I wrote a book on the McNicoll clan, the whole story. So we started to talk and that became a very nice collaboration between him and the distillery to tell more of the story, to the point where we decided to call the whisky McNicoll. So the whiskies are going to be called McNicoll, with the different types of whisky we’re going to sell. The brand itself is my last name, which is an honour to this Scot who came to America, really, because they fought down, they went down to New York with the 78th, and the original dude came back north. And my mother has French ancestry – she’s a Chevalier, she’s French, French, French – and then Scottish, Scottish, Scottish. And then there’s a mix. You can see there’s a mix in between those two. And you look at the genealogy, and that professor went back and he found all the ancestors and all the churches here in Quebec and went down to New York, went to Scotland to find all the origins. Very interesting to see the different clans and the French into making our population today. Robert: Very cool. You touched a little earlier on the bureaucracy and that kind of fun. You went through an interesting fight with Quebec’s Agricultural Land Protection Commission to get permission to build a distillery on farmland. Without getting too deep into the legal weeds, what was that like? And is that a challenge other people thinking about agritourism or value-added agriculture should be ready for? Martin: Definitely. And doing business in anything that involves food – there are some guidelines and some rules of law that you need to follow, which is, I would say, much harder than to open a NetSuite provider or a NetSuite partner licence. I had offices all across the US and also in the rest of Canada. It was 100 times easier to open an office in California than to start an agri business in Quebec, or even I would say Canada. Some provinces are easier than Quebec, but it was always a challenge. But I knew I was right. So one thing you learn is that you surround yourself with great people. My lawyers – that’s the thing you can do when you have money, you just lawyer up. But they were great at understanding everything that was going on. I found the expert and this woman knew exactly what was happening. She found some other people that were able to go through it. And we just had to go through all the legwork and convince the commission that what we’re doing is okay. And here’s why. But it’s a process and it’s frustrating because you’re there and you want to do this project. And you’re like, I’m going to be environmentally friendly. I’m going to do this from the grain to the bottle. I want to do all those different things. And then you see all those obstacles. But I think it’s part of the challenge, going through them and winning. At the end, I won. So that’s what counts. Robert: It is exactly what counts. So if someone in the channel who’s in a place that you were at when you were with Gurus is listening to this and thinking, I’d love to do something like that someday – not necessarily to be a competitor to you, but to sell the practice, go off and do something completely different, that’s their dream – what would you tell them, having gone through this process as far as you have now? Martin: I think the fact that they have done it before – starting a consulting firm and running it and dealing with customers – they’ve built their knowledge and their expertise and their resilience into doing anything else. I would always say that implementing an ERP system is the Formula One of computer science, because you have so much complexity. And if you fail, the company can die. They will not operate. Products will not ship. Invoices will not go out. You can cripple a business by doing a wrong implementation. So I would say you’re really prepared to do anything, in my mind, after the channel, after running that type of business. I think it’s just to look at what you like to do and what’s your ambition and take it head on. Robert: Good advice. Good advice from someone who has done it and is doing it. And my last and no doubt most important question – when do we get to actually taste the whisky? When do you get to market with your products? Martin: At least two years. So to be whisky, to be called whisky, it needs to be three years in a cask, in an oak cask. And for us, we just reached our first anniversary in December. So we still have a good two years to go. And we have to decide if we are going to put it in a bottle or not. We’re going to taste it and say, is it ready or not? And if not, I’m just going to sit on it again. However, we’re coming out with a liqueur that we’re making. It’s a butterscotch liqueur that our master distiller has been developing. And he’s working also on another liqueur that we want to put out, and we’re going to sell locally. Just to get some things out of the distillery with a Scottish-type accent. Our master distiller has also some Scottish ancestry. He went to school at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh to learn about the trade. So he’s got all those ancient recipes of Scottish liqueurs. We’re pulling out of that book to create some interesting products. So that should come in a couple of months, hopefully, if I can get my bottles from China. Robert: Fascinating stuff. Good luck. It’s been very interesting catching up and it’s always fascinating to hear about the journeys of folks who’ve made a career in the channel and see what they’re doing afterwards. All the best with getting that liqueur out, and the longer term getting those three whiskies out the door. Martin: Thank you, Robert. Robert: There you have it – Martin McNicoll, formerly of Gurus Solutions, currently of Distillerie des Cantons de l’Est. I’d like to thank Martin for his time and honestly for his openness. It’s not every day that someone walks you through what it’s actually like to trade quarterly SaaS targets for fields of organic barley and barrels that won’t be ready for three years. A couple things that stuck out for me in this conversation. First, the idea that the same muscles that Martin built running a channel business – the acquisitions, the growth planning, the systems thinking – are the same muscles he’s using to build the distillery. Different industry, same instincts. I think anyone running a channel practice will recognize themselves in that. And second, the patience piece. Martin talked about planting trees today for barrels he won’t use for 30 years. That’s a fundamentally different relationship with time than most of us have in the tech world. And I think that’s something worth sitting with. If you want to learn more about what Martin’s building, you can find the distillery at distilleriedescantons.ca, and we’ll have a link for that in the show notes. Keep an eye out for the butterscotch liqueur, which should be available before the whisky is.

La comarca de Las Encartaciones, situada en el oeste de Bizkaia, limítrofe con Cantabria y Burgos, fue durante siglos una zona de ganadería extensiva, principalmente de vacuno, con una actividad rural dura en un terreno montañoso y boscoso. Desde la Edad Media ya existían diferentes líneas, todas derivadas de un encaste local de los antiguos alanos ibéricos, perros de trabajo autóctonos que se cruzarían de manera natural. Más tarde, bajo la selección de los ganaderos, con perros de agarre, pastoreo y guarda, que, como sucedería en otras razas de las que ya te hemos hablado, solo se reproducían si servían para el trabajo. En ellos buscarían que fueran muy valientes y con gran determinación; mandíbulas fuertes para el agarre; resistencia física; inteligencia práctica y capacidad para trabajar de forma autónoma en el manejo de ganado semibravo, conducir y sujetar reses difíciles, conducirlas hasta las ferias de ganado y proteger el caserío. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás cómo surgió la raza, qué personas han tenido un papel clave y cómo han llegado hasta nuestros días.  Por supuesto, te contaremos cuál es su carácter y qué necesitará de ti para ser feliz.  Rafael, en esta ocasión, nos cuenta cómo en uno de sus viajes al País Vasco los vio manejar el ganado. Te invito a que visites la web de la escuela canina Quercus, https://www.escuelacanina.com. También puedes seguirlos en RRSS, donde los encontrarás con este mismo nombre, al igual que a Rafael Fernández de Zafra, tanto en Facebook como en Instagram. Gracias por escucharnos.

Para encontrar sus ancestros más primitivos, tendremos que remontarnos a los perros tipo spitz utilizados entre el 4.000 y el 2.000 A.C. por los pueblos finoúgrios y bálticos. Estos perros tenían características que aún hoy conserva la raza: orejas erguidas, cola enroscada, gran resistencia al frío y un instinto de caza extremadamente desarrollado Entre el 1000 a. C. – 1000 D.C., ya encontramos a uno de sus ancestros más evidentes, los Laicas del noroeste de Rusia, especialmente los de Carelia y los de Arcángel. Para estas culturas, el perro no sería solo una herramienta de caza, sino un animal con valor simbólico y espiritual, especialmente en relación con el oso, al que consideraban un animal sagrado. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás como surgió la raza, qué personas han tenido un papel clave y cómo han llegado hasta nuestros días. Por supuesto te contaremos cuál es su carácter y qué necesitará de ti para ser feliz. Rafael, en esta ocasión, nos habla de los primeros que vio.

El Pastor Miorítico, castellanizado como Mioritza, pertenece al grupo de perros guardianes de ganado arcaicos. Sus orígenes se pierden en la antigüedad, aunque gracias a la cinología histórica y la arqueozoología, podemos seguirles en cierto modo el rastro. El antepasado más remoto se asocia a grandes perros molosoides primitivos de Asia central y Oriente Medio, usados para proteger los rebaños, que acompañarían a estos pueblos en sus migraciones a Europa. Para los dacios y los tracios sería parte esencial de su forma de vida el 3000 y el 1500 a. C. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás cómo surgió la raza, qué personas han tenido un papel clave y cómo han llegado hasta nuestros días. Por supuesto, te contaremos cuál es su carácter y qué necesitará de ti para ser feliz. Rafael, en esta ocasión, nos habla de los perros que tuvo ocasión de conocer en su viaje a Transilvania.

El Crestado Chino es una de las razas más envueltas en el mito y de la que se desconoce cuáles fueron sus orígenes a ciencia cierta, habiendo sobre ella, por lo menos, un par de teorías. La primera nos llevará hasta las culturas Mesoamericanas que consideraron sagrados a estos perros desnudos y a lo que de ellos nos contaron en sus crónicas el padre Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, Garcilaso el Inca, o el ilustre Clavijero. En la segunda viajaremos a la China del siglo XIII, uno de los períodos de mayor expansión comercial de su historia. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás como surgió la raza, qué personas han tenido un papel clave y cómo han llegado hasta nuestros días. Por supuesto te contaremos cuál es su carácter y qué necesitará de ti para ser feliz. Rafael, en esta ocasión, nos habla de los perros de su memoria, ya que él fue criador de esta raza.

Sus ancestros más remotos los encontramos en los perros graioides de la antigua china que daría lugar a un tipo ancestral de galgo persa, una antigua raza de la que se dice tiene miles de años de historia y guarda relación genética con los lobos asiáticos que se desarrollaría en el área que abarcaba la actual Irán, partes de Afganistán, Irak y Turkmenistán, encontrándose representaciones de perros estilizados, de patas largas y cuerpo esbelto, en cerámicas, relieves y textiles datados entre el 3000 y el 1000 a.C. Se les tendría como símbolos de la nobleza y la realeza, y a menudo serían criados en los palacios de los reyes aqueménidas, partos y sasánidas. Su valor sería tal que las leyes prohibirían venderlos a extranjeros; solo podían ser regalados como obsequios de gran valor. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás como surgió la raza, qué personas han tenido un papel clave y cómo han llegado hasta nuestros días.

For this episode we're joined in our Hammersmith HQ by James ("The Hardest Working Man In Show Business") Brown. The former NME star and founder of "lads' mag" progenitor loaded takes us back to his Yorkshire boyhood in Headingley. He recalls his parents' record collection, the first gigs he attended as the class "smart-arse" at Lawnswood School... and his acclaimed '80s fanzine Attack On Bzag! Our guest's account of how he came to contribute to Sounds leads to clips from the late Andy Gill's 1991 audio interview with the KLF, the maverick duo of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty whom James championed in the paper's pages in 1987. After waxing nostalgic about his days at the NME, James gives us the origin story of the hugely successful loaded ("for men who should know better") and talks us through the publishing phenomenon it triggered. A discussion follows of '90s sexism and its connection to the misogyny of today's "Manosphere". Many thanks to special guest James Brown. Animal House: Music, Magazines, Mayhem is published by Quercus and available now from all good bookshops. Zine Age Kicks is available through James' Instagram, @jamesjamesbrown. Pieces discussed: The Beastie Boys: Keep Taking The Tabloids, Mark E Smith, Nick Cave & Shane MacGowan: The Three Horsemen Of The Apocalypse, The KLF audio⁠ and The decline of lads' mags: Unloaded, and now the party is over.

Para conocer sus ancestros más remotos, tendremos que retroceder hasta los perros pastores que acompañarían a los pueblos prerromanos en la Península Ibérica. Hay teorías que apuntan que serían los celtas quienes les traerían con sus rebaños. En los siglos II–I a.C., los pastores locales recibirían la influencia de perros molosos, y de manejo de ganado, que los romanos usarían en todo el Imperio con la función de vigilar y proteger al ganado del ataque de los predadores, quedando en manos de los pastores el mantener el rebaño unido. Columela, autor hispano romano, en el siglo 4 les llamaría canis pastoralis En la edad media, Grandes depredadores, como lobos, osos o linces, irían desapareciendo poco a poco como consecuencia de la caza, la expansión de la agricultura y la tala de bosques, reduciéndose drásticamente sus poblaciones. Con menos amenazas, los perros podrían adaptarse a nuevas funciones. Se comenzaría a seleccionar escogiendo a aquellos que destacarían por su rapidez al reunir el ganado, por su capacidad para vigilar o su resistencia en largas jornadas, y en las zonas donde no sería necesario un animal tan corpulento, se buscaría reducir el tamaño. Hasta finales del siglo XIX, no comenzarían a entrar estos careas en la península a través de Cataluña, Aragón y Navarra, que mantendrían relaciones culturales y comerciales con la vertiente pirenaica francesa, y donde si sería necesario un perro de mayor agilidad para mover al ganado en terrenos montañosos y abruptos. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás como surgió la raza, qué personas han tenido un papel clave y cómo han llegado hasta nuestros días.

Los primeros humanos llegarían, a lo que hoy conocemos como Japón durante el Paleolítico, hace entre unos 35.000 y 40.000 años. Probablemente, provenían de regiones de Siberia, Manchuria y el Sudeste Asiático. Llegarían acompañados de unos lobos semi domesticados, o perros medio salvajes de tamaño pequeño o mediano, con orejas triangulares erectas y cola enroscada sobre la espalda, que irían evolucionando de forma aislada en las montañas del archipiélago adaptándose al clima húmedo y al terreno montañoso, que les ayudarían en las tareas de caza de aves, pequeños mamíferos y jabalíes; les alertarían de peligros y se alimentarían de los restos. Acompáñanos en esta aventura en la que conocerás como surgió la raza, qué personas han tenido un papel clave y cómo han llegado hasta nuestros días.

In this week's episode, host Emma Yockman interviews Santa Cruz local oak expert Al Keuter about how the wonderful world of oak trees (genus: Quercus).

Autumn's fiery display has arrived slightly earlier this year in Irish gardens, with drought-stressed trees and shrubs responding to recent winds and rain by transforming their foliage into spectacular shades of red, orange, and gold. This timing creates the perfect opportunity to witness these botanical performers at their peak and introduce them to your own garden landscape.This episode reveals my carefully curated list of ten exceptional plants for autumn color, divided between shrubs and trees, each selected for reliability, visual impact, and often, multiple seasons of interest. Among the shrubby standouts, discover why Cornus kousa 'China Girl' was this year's Bloom festival sensation, how Euonymus alatus delivers weeks of vivid red display, and which varieties of Berberis offer tough, reliable autumn color even in challenging conditions. For larger spaces, learn about classic performers like Liquidambar (now available in compact forms for smaller gardens), the shelter-loving Japanese maples with their quintessential deep reds, and my personal favorite, Quercus rubra (Red Oak), which develops increasingly magnificent displays as it matures.Beyond leaf color, we explore plants offering autumn berry interest, from spectacular Pyracantha walls to reliable Cotoneaster displays. You'll discover which plants combine multiple seasons of appeal—spring flowers, summer structure, autumn color, and winter interest—to maximize your garden's year-round visual impact.The message is clear: don't just admire these autumn stars in other gardens or nurseries. Now is the ideal planting time to secure these performers for your own landscape. Garden centers are currently showcasing these seasonal beauties, including exciting new varieties perfect for smaller spaces. By investing in autumn-interest plants today, you're ensuring your garden will celebrate rather than surrender to autumn's arrival for years to come.For those following our perennial grow-along, send your questions about germination, growing conditions and next steps to info@mastermygarden.com, and join our YouTube live session on Monday at 8pm for comprehensive answers as we nurture the next generation of garden stars together.Support the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

Simon and Rachel speak with the veteran British publisher Anthony Cheetham. Anthony began his career in 1966 at the New English Library, where his first acquisition was the paperback rights to "Dune", Frank Herbert's science fiction epic. In 1969, Anthony moved to Sphere Books, where he created the Abacus imprint. He went on to establish many of the UK's most prominent publishing companies including Century (now part of Penguin Random House), Orion and Quercus (today owned by Hachette) and Head of Zeus (which now belongs to Bloomsbury).

This week James and Will (well, mostly James) are joined by author Paul Maunder, who discusses his book, Angel of the Mountains: The Strange Tale of Charly Gaul.Born in Luxembourg in 1932, Charly Gaul turned professional aged 20, quickly establishing himself a prodigious yet mercurial talent, 'A murderous climber with a lower gear than the rest, turning his legs at a speed that would break your heart – tick tock, tick tock, tick tock,' said fellow rider Raphaël Géminiani. In 1956 Gaul won the Giro d'Italia, followed by the Tour de France in 1958 and the Giro again the following year, yet despite such success he was a fragile and curious figure, prone to mistakes, distrust and neurosis, and by 1965 he had retired, having never reached such heights again. But that's only half the story, as Angel of the Mountains tracks Gaul through a strange and tragic retirement and into a more peaceful old age.Angel of the Mountains - The Strange Tale of Charly Gaul is published by Quercus and is available in all good bookshops and online.------------------This episode is sponsored by Laka Bike Insurance, the specialist bike insurers.

Le podcast prend un petit tournant, car à partir d'aujourd'hui, je suis heureux de tendre le micro à des invité·es qui travaillent avec et pour le vivant. Des personnes qui observent, racontent, protègent, cultivent, questionnent.Le format devient donc, pour l'essentiel, une série d'entretiens — même si je continuerai peut-être, de temps en temps, à glisser un épisode en solo.Le premier invité de cette nouvelle série s'appelle Laurent Tillon.Laurent est un grand amoureux des arbres et de la forêt. Un lien profond qu'il nourrit depuis l'enfance, et qu'il explore aujourd'hui à travers son métier, ses écrits, et ses engagements. Il est notamment l'auteur du best-seller Être un chêne, un livre dans lequel il raconte le lien intime qu'il a tissé avec l'un de ces grands arbres.Et justement, c'est dans la forêt de Rambouillet — qui abrite ce chêne — que nous nous sommes retrouvés pour enregistrer cette conversation, au cœur de son terrain de jeu et d'observation depuis toujours.J'espère que nous saurons vous transporter avec nous, dans la quiétude de cette forêt si particulière.Alors c'est parti, je vous souhaite une très bonne écoutePOUR ALLER PLUS LOIN

Les bouchons de vin en liège sont utilisés depuis des siècles en raison de leurs propriétés uniques qui permettent de conserver et d'améliorer le vin en bouteille. Ce matériau naturel, extrait de l'écorce du chêne-liège (Quercus suber), offre des avantages essentiels pour la préservation du vin.Les propriétés du liègeLe succès du liège comme bouchon repose sur plusieurs caractéristiques physiques et chimiques :1. Élasticité et compressibilitéLe liège est un matériau très souple qui peut être compressé pour s'adapter parfaitement au goulot d'une bouteille. Une fois en place, il se dilate légèrement pour assurer une étanchéité efficace, empêchant les fuites tout en permettant une légère interaction avec l'oxygène.2. ImperméabilitéGrâce à la subérine, une substance cireuse naturellement présente dans le liège, ce matériau est résistant aux liquides, empêchant ainsi les fuites et la contamination du vin par des agents extérieurs.3. Légère perméabilité à l'oxygèneUn des rôles essentiels du bouchon en liège est de permettre une micro-oxygénation du vin. Contrairement aux bouchons synthétiques ou à vis, il laisse passer de très faibles quantités d'oxygène, ce qui contribue à l'évolution des arômes et au bon vieillissement du vin.4. Résistance aux variations de température et aux moisissuresLe liège est naturellement résistant aux attaques fongiques et aux variations climatiques, ce qui en fait un matériau idéal pour des conditions de stockage variables.Une tradition historiqueL'usage du liège pour boucher les bouteilles de vin remonte au XVIIe siècle, lorsque Dom Pérignon, moine bénédictin, remplaça les chevilles de bois et de tissu par du liège pour conserver l'effervescence de son champagne. Ce matériau s'est rapidement imposé dans toute l'industrie viticole.Des alternatives émergentesBien que le liège reste privilégié, des alternatives comme les bouchons en plastique, en verre ou les capsules à vis ont été développées pour répondre aux problèmes liés au goût de bouchon (contamination par le TCA, une molécule qui altère les arômes). Cependant, le liège demeure le choix favori pour les vins de garde en raison de son rôle dans le vieillissement et sa durabilité.Ainsi, le bouchon en liège est un choix alliant tradition, performance et écologie, car il provient d'une ressource renouvelable et biodégradable.

Norwegian GP Dr Torkil Færø argues wearable devices that measure our heart rate and other health metrics, if used in the right way can be transformative in keeping us healthy and helping prevent disease in the future. In his book, The Pulse Cure, he explains why he thinks far more attention should be paid to a key metric which turns out to give a surprisingly accurate snapshot of our level of stress and overall health -  and that is our heart rate variability or HRV for short. Torkil explains what it is and simple steps we can all take to improve our heart rate variability. Remarkably, it turns out that drops in our HRV may predict future illness and a higher heart rate variability has even been correlated with a better performing immune system. The Pulse Cure - The Revolutionary Way to Balance Stress, Optimise Health and Live Longer by Torkil Færø is published by Quercus.

If foresters have a super-power, it might just be the power of observation. They notice change in the forest and correlate facts that would otherwise be isolated and missed. As a result, foresters have the unique ability to adapt and find management solutions in a changing environment. In this episode of SilviCast we will explore an example in Iowa of changing environmental conditions and the cumulative effects on white oak (Quercus alba), and one forester's quest to find answers. Join our conversation with Iowa DNR Forester, Joe Herring, as we try to solve the mystery of the dying white oak trees.
