When the songcatcher from Grand Forks, Franz Rickaby, died in California in 1925, he was much mourned, both for his scholarly work and for his charismatic persona. One obituary characterized him as “a young man of an unusually pleasing personality.” Of all the great songcatchers, I find Rickaby most appealing.

By all accounts, Franz Rickaby, the young instructor of English and theater at the University of North Dakota, was lovingly devoted to his wife, Lillian, and she to him. They were fully engaged together with the students in Grand Forks, teaching, directing plays, even leading singing of the university fight song, which Rickaby wrote.

After the success of his first podcast (see episode 2; the story of PhD), we had to have Jason back to discuss his latest venture - HMN24. In fact, this episode is exactly what this podcast is about - discussing the latest developments and interpretations of sports and active nutrition. But the great thing about Jason is that this isn't just about opinion... it is about doing. HMN24 is about human optimisation. It is about performance beyond the gym. It is about health and wellbeing. And indirectly it is about the ageing athlete (my words, not Jason's). And there is something so right about it, and I suspect many others will agree. It'll take some time to know what consumers think of course, but i've no doubt that there will be a lot of fast followers looking to copy or adapt the proposition of HMN24.

STAGEWORTHY host Phil Rickaby joins me from Toronto this episode ahead of his new audio drama launch and we try make the world a better place looking at embracing quiet, listening to one another, video games and finding your own form of zen.

This is podcast 3 of 5 of the ACCA Strategy SeriesWhere's the value in having a crystal clear sense of purpose for your accountancy firm?On this podcast discussion, you're going to hear from James Lizars and Steph Rickaby, two sole owners of two modest size accounting firms that think big  about their core purpose.And you'll hear Paul Shrimpling ask them, where's the payoff?  Where's the value in having and building and creating and living a real sense of purpose? Here's the discussion with James and Steph now...

On this week's straight-talking smart tech podcast, The Hack hosts Leon, Paul and Jo are joined by none other than Jason Rickaby. Jason is Co-Founder at HMN24. Host of the Live on Form podcast. Investor. Co-Founder and ex CEO PhD Nutrition. Jason formed PhD in 2006 with Mark Bowering and set about taking on the big boys of the industry with a refreshingly honest approach, helping to create a "brand that cuts through the BS". That's certainly something we all need when it comes to nutrition! As always, The Hack team is here to dive into the important topics with an emphasis on people, process and technology. With this episode's focus on sport and nutrition, we delve into the mind and body benefits of looking after your physical fitness. What’s discussed? Having an industry expert like Jason on this week's show presents an opportunity to discuss the link between the body and mental health, as well as masculinity and the very nature of being a man. Jason talks us through his favourite books, his routine, and recovering from failure - something we can all relate to. Jason's journey to the top isn't your typical story. Having started PhD at 28 and working hard to get it to where it is today, he has some wise words to impart to our hosts and our audience. Now in his 40s, Jason is keen to reflect on his journey to becoming the man and the business person he is today. Being at the forefront of a nutrition company in the fitness field means Jason has a fascinating insight into the connection between physical and mental exercise. Jason's experience suggests that finding comfort in your body can transmit comfort to your brain, allowing you to recover from the stresses of day-to-day life, let alone the last year of uncertainty. It might not be a magical cure-all, but there are definitely benefits to be found in exercise and nutrition. All this and much more make for another episode of The Hack. It’s not one to miss.

Many of us dream of starting a brand that they are truly passionate about, and in an industry that we live and breath. Jason did just that in sports nutrition, and was successful - exiting twice. In a candid interview, Jason tells us about how PhD started, the factors that underpinned its success and how he see's the industry moving forward. A real look to the past, the present and the future. A truly insightful listen from one of our industry's original pioneers.

Entrepreneur, nutrition geek & genuine nice guy! I talk to Jason Rickaby on this episode and we discuss all things nutrition and business. Jason first set foot into a gym at 17. 26 years later and he's built an empire - PhD Nutrition. We talk about the most important parts of his brand, the positive effect that social media has had on the fitness and well-being industry, and the misconception of gender and the gym! We also touch on brand ambassadors and how they've boosted the authenticity of PhD Nutrition. This podcast is brought to you by d&t advisory, helping you unlock the magic of your business, and sponsored by QuickBooks – helping UK small businesses stay on top of their finances.

In this episode, Paul chats to Co-founder and CEO of PhD Nutrition about building the brand up from scratch to exiting it and the effects it had on the business and himself.

Gretchen Dykstra‘s career to date has been both impressive and wide-ranging. She was the founding President of the Times Square Alliance, the former Commissioner of the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs, and the founding President of the 9/11 Memorial Foundation. She is also a writer, and in this New Books in Folklore episode, she is interviewed about her biography of her grandfather, Franz Rickaby, which features in Pinery Boys: Songs and Songcatching in the Lumberjack Era (University of Wisconsin Press, 2017) Franz Rickaby was a young folk music collector and fiddler and between 1919 and 1923, he travelled extensively around the Upper Midwest, seeking out the songs and stories of logging industry workers. Even as he embarked on his venture, the region’s lumber business was in stark decline. Most of the original pine forests that had covered the area had been clear cut by that time, but although the environment had been depleted, a rich cache of folkloric material remained. Rickaby set about preserving this material—songs, ballads, and stories—in manuscript form and then presented in his seminal work Ballads and Songs of the Shanty-Boy. This tome provided, as folklorist James P. Leary writes in his introduction to Pinery Boys, “the foundation for our understanding of North Americas Anglophone lumberjack folksongs, song-makers, and singers” (3). Alas, Rickaby himself died aged 35 shortly before Ballads and Songs of the Shanty-Boy appeared in print leaving the prominent Harvard-based folklorist George Kittredge to oversee its publication which took place in 1926. Rickaby’s wife Lillian, who had urged Kittredge to take up the task, wrote elsewhere that although she was sorry that her husband had not lived to see the finished product, “what are books to those who walk among the stars?” (70). Gretchen Dykstra’s biography of her grandfather forms a significant part of Pinery Boys and offers valuable insight into the life and motivations of a man about whom little was previously known. Pinery Boys also includes the republication of Rickaby’s Ballads and Songs of the Shanty-Boy, along with other material he collected but which fell outside of the purview of his major work. In addition, and as mentioned earlier, the book’s introduction, which provides valuable context, is written by the University of Wisconsin’s James P. Leary. Leary, himself a distinguished scholar of the folk music of the Upper Midwest, also provides illuminating annotations to Rickaby’s work. Incidentally, during the course of her New Books in Folklore interview, Dykstra mentions a recent recording of songs collected by her grandfather as performed by Brian Miller. More information about this recording, which is entitled Minnesota Lumberjack Songs: Irish and Scottish Music from the North Woods, can be found here.

Alas, Rickaby himself died aged 35 shortly before Ballads and Songs of the Shanty-Boy appeared in print leaving the prominent Harvard-based folklorist George Kittredge to oversee its publication which took place in 1926. Rickaby’s wife Lillian, who had urged Kittredge to take up the task, wrote elsewhere that although she was sorry that her husband had not lived to see the finished product, “what are books to those who walk among the stars?” (70). Gretchen Dykstra’s biography of her grandfather forms a significant part of Pinery Boys and offers valuable insight into the life and motivations of a man about whom little was previously known. Pinery Boys also includes the republication of Rickaby’s Ballads and Songs of the Shanty-Boy, along with other material he collected but which fell outside of the purview of his major work. In addition, and as mentioned earlier, the book’s introduction, which provides valuable context, is written by the University of Wisconsin’s James P. Leary. Leary, himself a distinguished scholar of the folk music of the Upper Midwest, also provides illuminating annotations to Rickaby’s work. Incidentally, during the course of her New Books in Folklore interview, Dykstra mentions a recent recording of songs collected by her grandfather as performed by Brian Miller. More information about this recording, which is entitled Minnesota Lumberjack Songs: Irish and Scottish Music from the North Woods, can be found here.

Lulzlit.com is an "international fiction collective" writing under the pen-name of James T. Raydel. This is an interview with creator Chris Rickaby. What's great about this collection of 7 stories is that Chris has taken a fresh approach to transmedia - grounding the stories in a solid theme and interconnecting motifs rather than sticking with the same characters or locations. Readers can choose the stories in any order and in doing so bring different perspectives on how each contributes to the whole. The main theme is that of probability and multiverses. Chris explains that he draws on the work of Hugh Everett III and his "many worlds" theory.
