This week, we're on location at the 46th Annual Vancouver International Wine Festival at the Vancouver Convention Centre. We'll talk with many international wine personalities, including John Kane, Head of Winemaking at the hyper organic Bonterra Organic Estates.

Robby hosts Taylor Gregory of the Wood River Chapter of the Mule Deer Foundation.  Find out how removing a single fence in critical mule deer corridors makes a difference in helping mule deer.  They also chat about getting off the "fence" and stepping up to help mule deer. Taylor took a hard look at himself and decided rather than just complain, he'd get his hands dirty helping mule deer where he can. Once he made the decision, the door flew wide open and soon he was co-chair of Idaho's Wood River Chapter of the Mule Deer Foundation, along with Ross Baker. These guys are donating their own blood, sweat, and tears to ensure mule deer get back on their feet. Also, Robby does a gear-wrap on what he'll be using for 2024.

Some people have never known a life that didn't include golf and while they may not have a high profile those people are almost invariably among the most interesting and thoughtful in the game. Henry Cussell is just such a person. Head professional at Yarra Yarra Golf Club at the age of 20 and one of the earliest employees at The National Golf Club on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, Cussell has likely forgotten more about the game than most people could ever hope to learn. In this wide ranging chat with Rod Morri, Cussell covers everything from 'foxing' balls as a youngster to the unique business he recently set up in Melbourne's Sandbelt with one of the great custodians of Australian golf history, Ross Baker.

Free Newsletter on Medical Affairs Excellence: https://dynamic-salad-157.myflodesk.com/lbyatyklzm Interview with Ross Baker, VP Medical Affairs at Vistagen Therapeutics. I ask Ross: What your week looks like as a VP medical affairs for a small biotech? What are the different functions you work with? As a senior leader - how do you make decisions? What advice would you have for people listening who interact with senior leadership? Working as a VP for a company with many pipeline products and fast track designations, would require a lot of prioritization skills - how do you prioritize what you/your teams should be focusing on?

We are back for our seventh (yes, seventh!) season of Kent Non-League goodness! We start this year with a special look ahead to the Southern Counties East League Premier Division, which kicks off on Saturday, with 21 teams full of hopes and dreams! We hear from two of them - Deal Town boss Steve King looks ahead to his second season in charge and discusses their pre-season, hopes for an FA Cup run and the arrival of the play-offs at Step 5. It's been a busy summer of managerial changes and we also hear from one of the new bosses in the county - VCD Athletic joint-boss Danny Joy, who tells us all about his managerial partnership with Ross Baker, the staggering amount of players the pair have looked at this summer and their first game in charge against Faversham. We discuss who we think will be the movers and shakers in the SCEFL this season, and, of course, have loads of other chat and nonsense, including Matt's birthday, frangipane, the Ashmore and Cartier Islands and loads, loads more besides. It's good to be back... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A mixed bag for episode 23, with a whole range of topics covered including upcoming events in several states, a new golf outlet in Melbourne, and thoughts following recent rounds at a variety of courses from Scott & Matt. A three-day trip to the Sunshine State including rounds at Royal Queensland, The Glades and Brookwater forms much of the meat of this episode, with Scott sharing his thoughts and experiences from those courses.  Matt was lucky enough to recently play Victoria GC and briefly chats on this Sandbelt gem.  Upcoming events at Port Fairy and Newcastle are promoted, with the “Holes That Aren't Holes” event at Port Fairy promising to be a cracker. Contact PFGC ( https://www.portfairygolf.com.au/cms/contact/ ) for more information, and registration details.  In other news, Henry Cussell and Ross Baker have opened a golf outlet in the heart of the sand belt, adding to the landscape of boutique / artisan retail golf destinations in Melbourne.

When you say the word “design” to 100 people, they'll likely picture 100 different things. Design is deeply subjective and personal. Still, we can get a sense of what design looks like by asking the people who live it every day. For our most recent episode, we sat down with 13 BWBR team members to ask them: How did you know you wanted to be in the design field?

The promise of functional programming is code that is easier to reason about, test and maintain. Referential transparency means there is no extra context to worry about, we can just focus on inputs and outputs. Examples of functional programming in the small are plentiful. Fibonacci is easy to write as a function but what about fp in the large? Http4s is a web framework written in scala that takes a pure functional approach to building http services. Ross Baker is a contributor to http4s and he explains the benefits of this approach. We also touch on the benefits of working remotely, since he and I have both been doing it for some time.

This week's guest is on a mission. Ross Baker wants to run a marathon in every state in the US as well as DC and he is just two states away from meeting that incredible goal. He plans to conquer Alaska & Hawaii later this year. Diagnosed with type 1 at age 19, he was at first told not to run at all, that it would be dangerous for someone with diabetes! He didn’t listen and after running a few races, he felt called to try for something big. This is a story that involves determination, faith and some Bojangles sweet tea.  Stacey also talks about "real people sick" and adjusting basal rates to deal with illness (and mistakes she's made in the past). Plus, an update on Jack's insulin allergy.
