Podcast appearances and mentions of sam klein

In this episode, we discuss crossover week at the General Assembly. SEANC members turned out in force against House Bill 549, which would strip State Human Resources Act protections from employees at the State Auditor's Office. We touch on the deep-seated concerns it raises for state employees. Moreover, we bring a fresh perspective to government dealings with Sam Klein's Gen Z views, highlighting a generational shift towards more transparency and engagement. Dive into our conversations filled with political intrigue, personal anecdotes, and even some light-hearted talk about birds and nature. Enjoy this inside look at the dynamics shaping North Carolina's political landscape.

Longtime podcast friend Sam Klein once again joins Jason and Donald on the Duke Basketball Roundup for the annual stats game recap. Listen in as the guys reflect on the predictions they made at the start of the year to find out who was best at figuring out how the season would go. It all starts with some stunning reveals about how little we all trusted Cooper Flagg. By the end, the winner of the contest comes down to a crazy tiebreaker! It is a great way to look back on a wildly successful year of Duke hoops... with some little hints and comments about what is to come next. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's time again for another rousing episode of the Jordan Michelman and Zachary Carlsen on the Sprudge coffee podcast The Coffee Sprudgecast! Learn about how we curate our popular city guides, find out about the 16th Annual Sprudgie Award Finalists (voting open now!) On this episode of The Coffee Sprudgecast Michelman and Carlsen wet their whistles with a Chemex brew of Bekele Kachara Natural out of Muraga, Ethiopia roasted by our friends and partners Heartwood Coffee Roasters. "Bekele employs a meticulous approach to coffee farming," Heartwood writes on its website, "using shaded pre-drying beds on-site and nurturing specific coffee varieties. he uses organic methods, fertilizing his farm with compost or agricultural residues. His expertise in coffee processing comes from years of experience, including work at stations in the Bensa and Bona districts of the Sidama region." Delicious! As things started to heat up, the hosts alleyooped a Ceado Hoop Brew of Partners Coffee's *secret process* Ethiopia Suke Quto. What's the big secret? We have a few guesses after tasting flavor notes of wild cherry, pineapple candy, and concord grape. So too does Partners Coffee green buyer Sam Klein, who writes,  "we mean it when we say 'secret' process—the few things we do know only add to the mystery. (We think there was inspiration drawn from a globally beloved soft drink.) What's left, then, is sensory clues. It appears to have been dried as a natural (with the fruit still intact), judging from the intensity of fruit flavor, syrupy body, and the reddish appearance of the unroasted coffee. The flavors are articulate and complex, and we're consistently reminded of grape and cherry soda, lambrusco, and root beer, which gradually mellow to white peach, pineapple candy, and passionfruit. Signs point to some kind of intervention in the fermentation process that would aid in the coffee's complexity—perhaps an additional fermentation stage, possibly in an environment where ambient oxygen has been displaced or removed." We love a little mystery in our cup. Who doesn't? This episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast is sponsored by Ceado, Pacific Barista Series, La Marzocco, Ghirardelli, and DONA.

Well, that was fun (provided you are not an Illinois fan). In honor of Duke putting an historic beatdown on the Illini, The Duke Basketball Roundup presents an extra long episode to recap all the great moments from this contest. From Sion's opening three to Spencer's awesome step-back, the DBR team has all you need to know about the game. And, though Jason and Donald were not in the house to experience it, Sam Klein was and the DBR Pod original makes a return appearance to give us all the flavor from inside the World's Most Famous Arena. And, before they go, the DBR team gives us their take on the rumors that Jai Lucas will be heading to Miami to be their next head coach. At least one member of the DBR crew has some sources who say, "slow down, this may not be a done deal quite yet." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Devils may have started out slow, but they ended up dispatching a badly outmatched BC team with ease to win their 5th road game on the season against zero road losses. The Duke Basketball Roundup was in Boston (in the person of longtime collaborator Sam Klein) to witness the closest thing to a homecoming that Cooper Flagg is gonna get this season. Is it somehow possible that the Blue Devils played a bad game and still won by 25 points? Oh, and the episode includes a couple shoutouts to beloved former Dukie Jaylen Blakes, who stuck a dagger in UNC's heart and twisted it with his buzzer beater. The Crazies better give him plenty of love when he returns to Cameron in a few weeks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bill Belichick's arrival at UNC Football has brought a renewed investment in the program. But will it come at a price for UNC Basketball? Sam Klein is back to help Jason and Donald break it down on DBR Bites Episode 76. With Belichick comes the guaranteed increased in football investments, from assistant salaries to NIL dollars. Some in UNC circles feel that boosters may sacrifice basketball for a few years for the purpose of getting UNC into either the SEC or the Big Ten. Donald, Jason, and Sam debate whether the end of UNC Basketball's relevance is a real possibility. There's lots to consider here: whether UNC Basketball can continue to pull in top talent, whether big boosters out there are willing to continue investing in basketball, the potential for private equity to enter the fray, and whether the SEC or Big Ten would even want them in the next decade. It's not an easy answer and it makes for a good discussion. After the break, we take a look at CNBC's list of perceived college athletics valuations. While the Big Ten and SEC dominate the list, Duke is in a pretty good position. Duke Basketball helps, but it's the overall performance of the athletics department combined with other factors that has Duke in position to be okay, no matter how conference realignment continues to map its course.

Well, that wasn't the ending we all expected. The Blue Devils fumble the ball away down the stretch and drop their first game of the season to Kentucky at the Champions Classic. The DBR Podcast was in State Farm Arena for the big event as Jason was in attendance along with some of his class of '89 friends. He has observations from the site and the podcast also welcomes back Sam Klein to help breakdown what went wrong for Duke in this game. Though it was an L, the podcast gang has a feeling there was a lot learned in this contest that will turn into more Ws in the future. After the break, Donald, Jason, and Sam also get into some videos recently posted online by Kyle Singler that seem to show a guy who is very troubled. Sam, especially, feels a connection here as he knew Kyle when they were classmates at Duke. We are wishing Kyle well and hope he gets what he needs at this difficult time.

It is a Duke Basketball Roundup tradition, our way of previewing the regular season -- the stats game. And we welcome in an old friend to help us out with the preview -- Sam Klein is back to run the game and tabulate all of Jason and Donald's predictions. Of course, seeing as Sam has not been on the podcast in a while, he's dying to talk and it takes a good 13 minutes to get to the part of the show where we actually begin the season preview by making educated guesses about stuff like -- who will lead Duke in scoring; how many road wins will the team have; how many double-doubles will Cooper Flagg have; how many minutes will Isaiah Evans play; how many different guys will be starters at some point; and (Donald's favorite) how many times will Duke score 100+ points in a game.

We have a fun episode for you! On Episode 625, we discuss the history of the Duke Blue Devil mascot as we interview Bryan Reklis and welcome back Sam Klein! Details of the Devil: The History of Duke's Mascot is a documentary that covers the 102-year history of our beloved mascot and some of the moments that have made the Blue Devil so special to all of us. Sam Klein returns to help us discuss this topic as we welcome Bryan Reklis, Sr. Video Producer of Duke University's office of Communications & Marketing to the show to discuss the documentary! Bryan helped write, direct, and edit this documentary, which is available on YouTube to watch. With Bryan, we go through some of the parts of the film that were important in chronicling the history of the Blue Devil and we get into some stories that were not in the film. Sam Klein, who was the mascot while he attended Duke, also provides us with some info that did not make the film as we discuss why the Blue Devil is so lovable and some of the things that the mascots have to deal with in order to provide boundless energy to Duke sporting events.

It is time for the Duke Basketball Roundup to reflect on the season in the way they do every year, by looking back at how awful the guys are at predicting the stats of the Blue Devil team. And, as as special treat, Sam Klein is back in the saddle to guide us through the results of the annual stats game. While the DBR podcast crew may have good sources and compelling insights, the stat game shows that the guys are just hysterically bad at some of their projections for the season. Of course, it wouldn't be a Sam episode without a few amusing diversions and this one includes some conversation about viewing the upcoming eclipse, Sam's time inside the Blue Devil costume, and Bluegrass music. Because nothing screams DBR Podcast like Blue Devils and Bluegrass. Enjoy!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Duke Basketball Roundup has reached 600 total episodes and you know what that means. If it has two zeros on the end, then Kenny "The Dawg" Denard must be a part of it! Jason and Donald are thrilled to welcome Kenny back for more of his recollections of his time at Duke as well as his assessment of the current state of the team and the entire college basketball landscape. And, as a special bonus, Sam Klein joins us as well to celebrate this momentous episode. Our conversation with Kenny includes a never-before-told story about a scandalous "Red Sparrow" trick he used to help Duke win games back in the day. It also takes a more serious turn as we ask Kenny to reflect on his longtime friendship with the recently departed Lefty Dreisell. It is worth noting that this interview was recorded last week, before the game against Wake Forest and the court storming incident that marred the end of that contest. So, if you think this pod avoids talking about the elephant in the room, well... the elephant wasn't even there when this conversation happened. Learn more about your ad choices.

Print/podcast editor Sam Klein talks to DECA students about their District victories. 

The Duke Blue Devils lost over the weekend to the Pitt Panthers, and we recap what went wrong on Episode 584. With Jason somewhere in the deep blue sea, Donald welcomes Sam Klein back home to the show to help break down what happened against Pitt. Sam was at the game, so after discussing the headlines and some of the good performances, we dive into the stuff that led to the bad loss against the Panthers. Blake Hinson was hitting everything, but while there was a lot of fight from the Blue Devils, there wasn't that sharp play throughout the game. Another slow start that is starting to unfortunately become too much of a routine proved to be the difference. After the break, Duke turns around and heads to the Yum! Center on Tuesday to take on the Louisville Cardinals. We preview what to expect in that matchup and how Duke needs to turn it around quickly against the worst team in the ACC and needs to do it with a fast start and consistent energy and intensity. We end the show by congratulating Tara VanDerveer on her 1203rd win as a coach, which passes Coach K for the most all time. Make sure you're following us!

Under the cover of night, Mike Elko boarded a plane and put Durham in his rear-view mirror. After 2 years of great success at Duke, he is moving on to Texas A&M, one of the big power-players in college football. I guess this is what it feels like when Duke basketball swoops in and grabs a stud recruit at the last minute. The DBR Podcast gang (including a guest appearance by Sam Klein) discuss the impact of Elko's decision from both a rational and an emotional standpoint. The guys have plenty of thoughts on how this all went down, including comments on what Elko was apparently saying to Duke at the same time as he was talking to A&M. After a quick break, the podcast crew looks at some of the names being bandied about as the next head coach at Duke. We think this is a candidate search that needs to go very fast as Duke needs a leader in place to keep recruits and transfers committed to the program. Learn more about your ad choices.

The 2023-24 Stats game is upon us, and Sam Klein returns to the show to guide us through it on Episode 553! Before we get into the Stats Game, we quickly discuss a few topics, including Patrick Ngongba's commitment to the Duke Blue Devils yesterday. We're hoping one more 5 star recruit joins the huge number already in the class next season. We also give Sam a chance to reflect on Duke Football becoming bowl eligible using 3 different starting quarterbacks. After the break, we get into the Stats Game, and the guys give predictions in 28 categories, from points per game to total walk-on points. Here are each of the categories: -Points per game -Rebounds per game -Blocks per game -Assists per game -Steals per game -Highest field goal percentage (minimum 1 attempt/game) -Highest 3 point percentage (minimum 0.5 attempts/game) -How many players lead Duke in scoring in a game? -Kyle Filipowski 3 point percentage -Jeremy Roach minutes per game -Tyrese Proctor games with 4+ 3 pointers -Mark Mitchell 10-5-5 games -Who starts the most alongside the 4 returning starters? -How many guys fill that 5th starter spot? -Ryan Young minutes per game -Caleb Foster 3 point percentage -Jared McCain points per game -Sean Stewart minutes per game -Christian Reeves number of ACC games played -Jaden Schutt games with 3+ 3 pointers -100 point games -Walk-on total points -Number of players who log over 300 minutes -KenPom defensive rank on Selection Sunday -Number of road wins -Number of ACC teams in the NCAA Tournament -Total 10-5-5 games (must include 10 points) -Total wins We will post everything that we picked on the DBR Forums, so chime in there with your predictions and follow along as the season begins tomorrow night!

The Duke Basketball Roundup is getting a little bit smaller. Longtime co-host Sam Klein announces he is leaving the pod, though he promises to still show up every now and then when the mood (or the news) suits him. This episode features Sam reflecting on the 9 years he has been alongside Jason and Donald on this little experiment that has so far begat well over 500 episodes. The simple truth is that Sam was always the heart and the humor of the DBR Podcast and there is no way to replace him. Donald and Jason will carry on, with a rotating series of occasional guest-hosts who all will pale in comparison to Sam.

Podcast editor Sam Klein reports on Super Bowl LVII and students' and staff member's reactions. 

Well, that one wasn't fun. What went wrong down in Coral Gables last night for the Duke Blue Devils? We discuss it all on Episode 487. Duke got humbled by the Miami Hurricanes, and it was clear from the very beginning that the energy wasn't there. Sam Klein was in the building for the game, so we open with his observations and headlines before we get to the good. Despite the blowout loss, there was some good things to come out of last night. Sam specifically has some positive thoughts about how Jon Scheyer did his rotations last night, and we had a 10-5-5 performance from Dereck Lively that needs to be talked about. We also get into the NET rankings and how this loss actually might have helped Duke in that all-important metric. After the break, we get into the bad, and there's a lot to be discussed. Donald starts with the lack of energy in the Duke uniforms on the floor and how his prediction about the game ended up becoming a harsh reality. There are several points to be made about how the team played as well as the details being largely missing on the night. We end with more talk about the NET and what Duke has to look forward to over the final 7 games of the regular season, and we actually have a couple favorite plays. We will have a couple of DBR Bites very soon, so check your feed over the next couple of days for more Duke discussions as we get ready for UVA this weekend. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Duke Blue Devils left Littlejohn Coliseum with a 82-64 victory over the Clemson Tigers last night, and the DBR Podcast recaps the win on Episode 389. There were a couple standout performances, including Trevor Keels' 2nd half. Of course, we discuss the scary moment in the first half where Clemson's David Collins undercut Wendell Moore, Jr. on a fast break, leading to a very tense exchange between the two teams. We discuss the good and the bad from the game, particularly from Jason Evans, who was at the game and had some nice views of how the Blue Devils played. After the break, Duke travels to take on Boston College Saturday evening. Sam Klein will be in the house, and he gives a thorough breakdown of what to expect from the Eagles. Finally, there were a lot of Blue Devils that changed cities at the NBA trade deadline on Thursday. Donald talks about Marvin Bagley III heading to the Detroit Pistons, Sam gives his take on Vernon Carey, Jr. to the Washington Wizards, and there's a lot of discussion from all 3 on Seth Curry moving to the Brooklyn Nets along with Rodney Hood and Semi Ojeleye going to the Los Angeles Clippers.

After a relatively easy win over Army and a too-close-for-comfort one over the Campbell Fighting Camels, the DBR Podcast gang is here to talk about the opening home weekend of the Duke Basketball season. There was plenty to like (Wendell Moore) but also plenty to be concerned about (Mark Williams). DBR Podcast co--host Sam Klein made the trek back to Cameron to see both games and gives us a wrap of what he saw inside the confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium. Then, after the break, the guys break down what to expect and what to watch for as Duke battles Gardner Webb this week. Oh, and before we go we have to pick our player of the week.

The news hit the college basketball world like a thunderbolt, Coach K is stepping down and heading off into retirement. But, he isn't ready to hang it up just yet. He's going to have one last season, one final hurrah, at the helm of the program he built. And, it appears Coach K has picked assistant coach John Scheyer as his successor. DBR Podcast hosts Jason Evans and Sam Klein quickly hop on the line for their fast reaction to the news. Their biggest immediate takeaway is that this is a story that we will be talking about for many, many months and that it will have a ripple effect across all of college basketball and across the entire Duke world.

THE SNOWBOARD PROJECT Pro Files : Sam Klein Sam Klein is one amazing rider - his approach to street may fall outside today's popular mini shred type features. Instead, Sam draws inspiration from riders like Frank Bourgeois  and Jed Anderson and instead of focusing on what is the flavor of the day, goes for big rails with immnediate consequences for coming up short.  This story is an interesting one - and traces the career of a snowboarder fueled by determination and the hard fought road to achieving goals in the sport.  This week's interview is brought to you by Melvin Brewing, Cardiff Snowcraft,  Never Summer Industries Tow Pro Lifts and United Shapes.

This episode follows up on our discussion of Sam Klein's NEJM manuscript (Episode 9: Released on October 13th) which attempts to compare the effects of diet and bariatric surgery-mediated weight loss on glucose control and diabetes.  Dr. Phil Schauer is a world-renown bariatric surgeon and also a scholastic leader in research surrounding the pathophysiology of obesity and diabetes and outcomes of metabolic surgery. Notably, Dr. Schauer performed the first laproscopic bariatric surgery in 1997 and his work on the STAMPEDE trial was one of the first trials to demonstrate the ability of bariatric surgery to cause remission of type 2 diabetes in obese participants which has over 3500 citations. He was recently recruited to the Pennington Biomedical Research Institute as a Professor of Metabolic Surgery and the Director of the Bariatric and Metabolic Institute.  Dr. Vance Albaugh is a surgeon scientist who also recently made the move to PBRC as an Assistant Professor of Metabolic surgery following his training at Vanderbilt University and the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Albaugh in his relatively young career has over 600 citations and 29 publications in the areas of obesity and metabolic surgery.

In this episode we discuss a manuscript entitled “Effects of Diet Versus Gastric Bypass on Metabolic Function in Diabetes”. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2003697 This manuscript was recently published online in the August issue of The New England Journal of Medicine out of the laboratory of Dr. Sam Klein at Washington University in St. Louis. In a later companion episode to follow this one, we will be speaking about the concepts presented in this paper with Dr. Phil Schauer who is a world expert in bariatric surgery. Dr. Schauer performed the 1st laproscopic bariatric surgery in 1997 and was one of the first to demonstrate the ability of bariatric surgery to cause diabetes remission in the landmark STAMPEDE trial.

Many of us have dealt at sometime in our life with depression, anxiety, burnout or stress. Many of us know what it's like to fight on a daily basis with the black dog.    In this very candid and honest interview with Author Matt Calman we dive deep into the how depression and mental health struggles can catch anyone of us out and how we can courageously fight our way back to health and happiness.   Matt used the challenge of the Coast to Coast to work through the demons in his mind and the importance of having a physical challenge and goal when dealing with derailed emotions. His book "The Longest Day" chronicles the ups the downs of his journey back to health culminating in the successful finishing of the ultimate challenge NZ's Coast to Coast multisport  race    The infamous Coast to Coast is a multisport competition held annually in New Zealand. It is run from the west coast to the east coast of the South Island, and features running, cycling and kayaking elements over a total of 243 kilometres (151 mi). It starts in Kumara Beach and traditionally finished in the Christchurch suburb of Sumner, but since 2015 finishes in New Brighton.   You can find out more about Matts book at https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/other-books/The-Longest-Day-Matt-Calman-9781988547305   We would like to thank our sponsors for this show:   For more information on Lisa Tamati's programs, books and documentaries please visit www.lisatamati.com   For Lisa's online run training coaching go to https://www.lisatamati.com/page/runni...

It's titled "Relentless - How A Mother And Daughter Defied The Odds" Visit: https://relentlessbook.lisatamati.com/ for more Information   ABOUT THE BOOK: When extreme endurance athlete, Lisa Tamati, was confronted with the hardest challenge of her life, she fought with everything she had. Her beloved mother, Isobel, had suffered a huge aneurysm and stroke and was left with massive brain damage; she was like a baby in a woman's body. The prognosis was dire. There was very little hope that she would ever have any quality of life again. But Lisa is a fighter and stubborn. She absolutely refused to accept the words of the medical fraternity and instead decided that she was going to get her mother back or die trying. This book tells of the horrors, despair, hope, love, and incredible experiences and insights of that journey. It shares the difficulties of going against a medical system that has major problems and limitations. Amongst the darkest times were moments of great laughter and joy. Relentless will not only take the reader on a journey from despair to hope and joy, but it also provides information on the treatments used, expert advice and key principles to overcoming obstacles and winning in all of life's challenges. It will inspire and guide anyone who wants to achieve their goals in life, overcome massive obstacles or limiting beliefs. It's for those who are facing terrible odds, for those who can't see light at the end of the tunnel. It's about courage, self-belief, and mental toughness. And it's also about vulnerability... it's real, raw, and genuine. This is not just a story about the love and dedication between a mother and a daughter. It is about beating the odds, never giving up hope, doing whatever it takes, and what it means to go 'all in'. Isobel's miraculous recovery is a true tale of what can be accomplished when love is the motivating factor and when being relentless is the only option.   Here's What NY Times Best Selling author and Nobel Prize Winner Author says of The Book: "There is nothing more powerful than overcoming physical illness when doctors don't have answers and the odds are stacked against you. This is a fiercely inspiring journey of a mother and daughter that never give up. It's a powerful example for all of us." —Dr. Bill Andrews, Nobel Prize Winner, author of Curing Aging and Telomere Lengthening. "A hero is someone that refuses to let anything stand in her way, and Lisa Tamati is such an individual. Faced with the insurmountable challenge of bringing her ailing mother back to health, Lisa harnessed a deeper strength to overcome impossible odds. Her story is gritty, genuine and raw, but ultimately uplifting and endearing. If you want to harness the power of hope and conviction to overcome the obstacles in your life, Lisa's inspiring story will show you the path." —Dean Karnazes, New York Times best selling author and Extreme Endurance Athlete.   Transcript of the Podcast:   Speaker 1: (00:01) Welcome to pushing the limits, the show that helps you reach your full potential with your host, Lisa [inaudible], brought to you by Lisatamati.com.

Good, thanks Lisa. Thank you for having me on. Oh, it's very, very exciting to have you met as a fellow New Zealand author. and, as I said, you don't know. He has written the book the longest stay recently, very recently telling his life story. And I'm going to share my story. I'm going to share his story with us. There. It is the longest life as I was watching on YouTube. I must grab a book met you know, really excited to delve into your story a little bit today and your backgrounds and how this book came about and your, your history. So give us a bit of a rundown on who you are and where you come from and your family and so on. And then it still haven't your story. Speaker 4: (03:03) Well, I'm, I'm 43 now. I was born and mastered them and it's very small town Amsterdam. Then my dad worked there as an insurance man then got transferred to Christchurch when I was about three years old. So like, yeah, I don't, I didn't know, I don't know Amsterdam then very well, but I had the roots there, a lot of friends there, and then we put down some roots in Christchurch and that's where I grow up. So I spent all the way through to my sort of early twenties and Christchurch. And then I met my wife, ah, when I was 19 and she was 17. She was just finishing up high school, took it to the bowl. And you pretty early on actually throw me and I know that she was going to be the ones who may, yeah, but a fairy tale really. Speaker 4: (03:52) Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so we're still dealing. We've got a couple of daughters now teen and nearly seven two girls and I've been, I'm at home with them for the last nine years. So when my, when my first, our first daughter was about seven months old I left my job as a journalist. I've been a journalist for a few years of the dominion post. I was living in Wilmington at that time with my wife's where she started her legal career. She's now a partner at a, at a sort of a good sized law firm and Christchurch. And we're living, you know, living the dream. But yeah, it's a, it certainly hasn't been a straight road life pays its ups and dances. You know, Lisa, I've read your book and I read about all your ups and downs and yeah, pretty inspiring stuff. Speaker 3: (04:48) Oh, thanks man. Yeah. And I'm keen to Delvin zoo story because you know, I love, I love people who share, they are the real stuff, the, the stuff that isn't perhaps pretty in the stuff that isn't glamorous, the difficult times. And your, your story is certainly inspiring. So let's start with where it all went wrong. You know, cause this sounds like a fairy tale. You meet your beautiful wife, you, your kids and lost going. Great. We did it all. We did things start to go wrong for you. Speaker 4: (05:15) Let's see. In Congress thing about all of us about depression, about how it doesn't discriminate it, it touches people who've had wonderful life like I've had. Well, and it touches people who struggled. It doesn't, yeah, it's not really about how good your lifers. Yes, from the outside, my life was perfect. Two beautiful children, amazing wife. We don't want for anything. We were pretty comfortable financially. Live in a lovely house in Christ, in a leafy suburb internally for probably it had been years, you know, it was like a tap dropping, slowly dropping, dropping, dropping and building up on this internal struggle I was having with Myla identity with my direction in life. There were a number of factors. There was, there was some sort of, at the time I had my breakdown and at the end of April, 2017 come off the back of a very stressful situation with, with someone who had kind of lied to us and taken the money and not a lot of money, but I took it very personally coming out of the back of that I had had some panic attacks like the year before, my first major panic attack was off the back of a situation. Speaker 4: (06:32) When I started to realize that things weren't right. And so I've been, I've been in hindsight dealing with depression and anxiety, social anxiety for most of my life. So before I knew what to call it, because I'd always, you know, I compared myself with other people and you look at the worst case scenario, the worst of the worst person who has suffered terrible mental illness and there's a full range. You're somewhere on, everyone's somewhere on the spectrum. So I never thought that I really had a problem with, with the time to, to fix or to try and address. So for years, this tape dropped and dropped and dropped. But it finally got to the point where I reached my breaking point and, and that's where the book really kind of begins. You know, I, this is, this was where my life kind of fell apart and I was diagnosed with depression, something that one, and for New Zealand as well experienced in the lifetimes. It's very, very common. We don't talk about it, but from the time I had my breakdown, that was when I started to she and to reach out and actually address it properly. Yup. Speaker 3: (07:42) And I mean, this is, this is, you know, like we do sometimes think that because I didn't, you know, love through the most horrific thing. The four don't have a right to be depressed in any way. And that's really a dangerous thing what you say, because then you don't address it. You don't know. Look out front. And you know, having had depression myself and having it rock bottom a number of times in my life I can totally relate to this feeling. So what actually had of it? How did it manifest itself when it really crashed? And this is what usually happens, you have a big crash. Speaker 4: (08:19) Well, basically I had been building out for months, weeks and months really seriously to the point where I was, I was desperate and feeling you really love myself. I was really irritable. Which is, which was a number one symptom and, and nightly mean like does anger where it's a rational, you don't really know what it's about, where it's coming from. And so like I was snapping it feeling really bad and apologizing straight away. And then, Mmm, in rhino it was sort of aware that things were about off, but she didn't, I, I mainly had it from everyone around me and I was just feeling internalizing everything. I was feeling all this mental strain, a lot of it, very subconscious. And it was just building up on me, building up and when it really crashed my, my daughters that had their cousins around for a sleepover extra. Speaker 4: (09:15) And so, Oh, it was under a bit of a bit of pressure there and I wasn't feeling good in myself. And I kind of had a boat, an outburst in front of all the kids in the kitchen over breakfast. I went upstairs and I was just sort of sliding back on my bed, really searching for what was going on, a real, I was feeling very desperate. And then, and then I looked over and I saw a vision and I'm actually in my bedroom now, so I looked over at the on suite away and a version of myself hanging in the doorway. No. Did well flashed into my, I w it wasn't, it wasn't even in my mind, it was like Alison nation. There was signs of it and a real that it just scared me straight. It gave me a white to, to the real problem that was there was head name. Speaker 4: (10:07) And I, it was, it was very frightening. Mmm. They fleshed up and then it was gone. You know, very quickly, and I described this in the book and that was the moment I reached out. I already had a and they haven't used for help. I've been seeing a counselor for, for the panic attacks I'd had the year before, but I got through that sort of put the bandaid on there, which was great, but hadn't really dealt with the main thing, which was this depression that was coming. Yep. And so I reached out for here and cold out for my wife and from there moment there was, there was no more facade of, of being okay. And it'll come down and it was just relating, Speaker 3: (10:52) No. How was that for a man on an eye? Like, you know, woman generally have a, a slightly perhaps easier time or sharing their emotions and how was it for a, you know, good Kay, we broke two to open up about something like this and you know, even to write about this afterwards is, is it quite, you know, like difficult and how's it been? How's it been received? Speaker 4: (11:15) I think for me it maybe was a little bit easier for me than for maybe other men who don't have an outlet. Yeah. I'd been a writer, you know, for a long time in June, freelance for a long time. I've been writing a blog about my life at home with the children in the early days. The ups and downs of life in a really honest blog about parenting and which was pretty entertaining to people were in serious, you know, I touched on some serious topics of miscarriage and grief and the stresses of being a parent and, and the identity of being a, being in the workplace and then coming home and not having that anymore. And then when I gave up alcohol in 2016 my blog, I'd started blogging and The signs, Diane is, is a good friend of mine, a lot of Dane has written books about her sobriety and, and keeps up the website living sober, which I joined. Speaker 4: (12:09) I'd done an article for drug foundation on her. And she inspired me to one of the people that really inspired me to give up drinking and, and just say, you know, get rid of that depressant. Yes. It's like they had a way basically taking that away rule the mental health staff to the four that was already bubbling away. I no longer had alcohol to kind of put the bandaid on the problem. I had to deal with it. So this is a very common thing that people would give up. Alcohol, I have to kind of deal with life in the war and without, without that thing, help them. So yeah, so like probably losing sight of the questionnaire, which often happens with me when I go on and on. But I have been blogging about, I've been doing this daily blog on those pseudonyms. Speaker 4: (12:54) So man, three, six, five. And actually if you, if you Google sideman three, six, five, the blogs are start up online. I, I blog for a year, the first year of sobriety that about seven, six, seven months and it became a blog about more about depression and about, about the struggles I was having. Wising up to that stuff. I'd already had the panic attack and that started writing about that. And then they know I, you know, I had my big crash and I stopped writing for a period of probably at least a week or a week and a half. We are obviously just trying to get through and getting through each moment really. And I wasn't able really to do anything. You know, I was, I was stripped back and control. I couldn't drive. I couldn't do much more than lie on the couch and just try and get, you know, get through the day. Speaker 4: (13:43) And so when I started riding again, I reentered the blog. Mmm. Talking about the depression. So being open about it, it already happened. So I win. You know, I decided to write the book, you know, I knew, I knew that writing as honestly as possible, it was really important. So you don't just talk in generalities and let people fill in the gaps. Oh, I've got my experience. I'm not an expert on depression, but I'm an expert on my own depression. And in that way, there's this universality of it. No, I mean everyone has a very unique experience in different ways that they can coping and get stroller. But I, I put my roadmap down in the book to help out other people you know, build their own roadmap. So Speaker 3: (14:27) You've come through this time and I know that you know, and it's moving to the part of the story where, you know, it's called the longest day for a reason. Speaker 4: (14:38) What happened there also in February, 2018. So I'm sort of, I'm throw the worst part of the depression, the, the railway early days when I'm getting on the medication, you know, I'm getting back to functioning and, and my, my heat's clear and the fog is lifting and I'm starting to look for the challenge, the next thing that I can do because basically you guys stripped all responsibility. I just stopped. I was a big being at home. It was actually easier for me and I don't know how people who work do this. Rhino, he was able to take all that pressure off me and I could just work on my recovery. And so then I was looking for the next thing to actually do the next challenge. And my friends were finishing the coast to coast, which is a rice that goes from the West coast, New Zealand tomorrow, serpentine beach. Speaker 4: (15:27) And then it goes all the way across the country over the big mountain. And then you're on down the road down the why man and then you're cycling correct across J 70 case last bike ride into this terrible kid, went on the straightest route and use the longest straightest road in New Zealand. CFA arrived and you're finishing it and you brought in a new youth Sumner that can the day speed do any, it was one of the famous Cathy lunch, all these famous famous people writing Curry, Sam Klein as the Legion, the rice in the moment, four time winner and the most iconic race and captured it beautifully between one side of the country and the other, my friends were finishing and I decided to go out for the first time either to see the finish of this race. I've lived in Christchurch most of my life, always been kind of kept divided by this rice, nivo bean physically there, this is the mistake I made. Speaker 4: (16:12) I go into the race, you go to this race and you get drawn into the rice and you get inspired by all these amazing people. No half of them don't look like acting like that prepared within an inch of their lives. And I are all finishing this rice. You see what it means to them you see on their faces but the struggle. Yeah, the joy, the hardship that the just getting over all these little struggles along the way to get across the Island. And it's, it's not, it's not a sure thing. You start this race and you don't know what's going to happen. You can prepare for everything, but it gets, stuff gets chucked in you. And this is just like as a metaphor for life, this race. So I've seen my friends Spanish, I see Sam clot actually finish. You finished about half an hour before my friends cause the one day people, you even do it in two days or one day. Speaker 4: (17:02) People, we don't know that was raised the two day people start on the second day and sorry, the one night people start on the second day of the rice. I winner in the late people, I pass a lot of the highly end of the two day field, so the flower people. And so I stay in class one time. I say the winner of the rice, I say my friends finish. I see them embraced by their families. They run the last bit of the kids and I'm like, I want to buy the of this. I'm going to. So I decided, I left, I left the race and I'm biking back to my house, 10 Ks away. And so, and as I was biking home I already knew I was going to sign up in 2019 and just would be the vehicle I would use to prep does doing things differently in my life to approach challenges differently because a lot of my problems had been, I've been so hard on myself. The things that are tried or not tried, I'd mainly been a spectator on the sidelines of my own life. Wanting to do some of these things and thinking, no, that's not for may because God, I know I couldn't do that and I decided, right. All right, I'm going to do it. If my friends can do this, I can do this. Speaker 4: (18:14) I mainly knew that this was the vehicle for my book because I'd always wanted to ride. Speaker 3: (18:19) Yes. This well in sport, you know, like, I mean, you know, I've got different, but some of stories really. Speaker 4: (18:31) No, I'm not. I'm Lisa, the late on sort of a, I would, NASA, I'm on a little bit higher than a weekend warrior. But well, no, kind of just hanging under there at a late level. Speaker 3: (18:42) Yeah. Well that's the funny thing Matt. I'm totally not a late and never have been. Oh, hold on. Ever done his work for 25 years at something and got, you know, halfway good at it. Speaker 4: (18:55) It doesn't matter though, isn't it? Yeah, it's the price you say, Speaker 3: (18:58) But, but you know, like as far as ability and like, you know, you put me in a race with you. If I had to go for a jog for you with you, you'd be like off I cry. That like, come on. All right. My husband does it every day. You know, I like, I'm slow. But that doesn't matter. Right. It's, it's the journey that you go on on the inside. That's really what's important. And your, your story actually reminds me of Charlie angle's story a little bit, except he was much more extreme metallic. Charlie is he's the one at random right across the Sahara and he's legend. Widowed in, in, in his story was well, much more alcohol and drugs. So he, yeah, he took, yeah. Now stories to the other end of crazy, but on both ends. Speaker 3: (19:46) But, but this, this, this, the same reason nights through so many of our lives. And when we take up a sport that is hugely challenging, whether it's the coast of ghosts or deer Valley or doing something crazy, it is the hardest thing you've ever done, but at the same time as the best, most rewarding experience. And it changes your perception of who you are. I mean, I, I remember even like when I met my husband at the beginning he was coming to me for running coaching and you know, he wanted to do this charity of running 27 case in full BA. He's a firefighter and full caps, you know, the yellow plastic suits with full BA for charity. And he wanted to know about running in the heat. So who better to ask, right? Speaker 3: (20:32) Teach teacher may touch him in any, any does it. And it goes, it raises lots of money. Awesome. And he, he always thought that ultra marathon runners had to be special types of people with super talents. And he started when he started to get to know me to realize, hang on, there's nothing special about this church. She's just funny. And it realized that, hang on, I could probably do this. And then his life, you know, he's gone on to do lots of ultras and so on. And this story of head over and over and over and over again because we sit ourselves, limitations of what we're capable of, don't we? And we, and we think we can overcome them. And you saw in your friends, so you considered perhaps equals to you that they could do this and therefore that was a gateway for you to Speaker 4: (21:17) Absolutely. And I think also like, you know, really on our mind, I knew that I wasn't going to be able to do the coast to coast until the end, you know, so I turned up. So yeah, so it's not like it's not 243 kilometers across a mountain and across the country and down the river. It's a million States. And so you just start walking towards her and then why it's all that process stuff. So, and there was also a massive antidote to the depression as like depression really does. I mean, they say that old saying goes a depression lives in the past and regrets and the things that you've done and things you're holding on. So anxiety lives in the future and worries about what's going to happen up here. And I had both of those things going on. So, so the coast to coast and training, like you know, you've got to be in the moment. Speaker 4: (22:04) You described this many times Googling down evens pass at 70 Ks an hour on your bike. There's potholes all over the place. It's very much you should, you really need a P in the moment. So, so the poster goes, training draws the past and in the future into the present in the end. So, so you are, you are just soaking up that experience. Like in the past when I trained, I would off be beating myself up about God. I wish I was better and and, and I'd have pain in my body. I some thought, I wish I wasn't hurting and all the stuff, you know, and, and I'd be just fixated on this little rigid small goal of I have to run a certain time in my half marathon. I've always wanted to break an hour, an hour and a half so I could consider myself a good runner. Speaker 4: (22:50) I was like, well, okay, a lot of people would have killed to do, do my best time of, of an hour, 31, whatever it was. And so, you know, I'd never quite made that. And maybe one day it doesn't matter to me now it's, it's really more about the duty because like the, all that time I spent or writing myself and being so hard on myself, and then I wouldn't reach the goal and then I would be like, Oh, there's just another reason why I'm not good enough. Yeah. You know, you know, a lot of people think like this and like, I thought like this all my life. Yeah. The first thing the first thing I had to fix, Mmm. When I was recovering from the, from my breakdown, well, it was my relationship with myself. So you're like, you know, you're talk about you need to lock yourself. Speaker 4: (23:37) That is really important. But to really truly like yourself and say, Oh, my K is so powerful. Mmm. And it does just the mindset tweak. It's just a shift in mindset to the point of, Mmm. From that moment on, you don't hear about all that external stuff. You don't hear about missing up, you don't care about falling out of your boat. So from that point on, once I've fixed my relationship with myself and I, and I went into this training, Mmm. Like a fraud. If I'd been the old man, I would have fallen out of my diet and I would have packed it all up and said, fuck it. I'm not going to do it. I'll, sorry. Sorry. Did y'all eat a data and, and carried me through the year because I'm embracing making mistakes and knowing that it was all a learning process and nothing's perfect. Speaker 4: (24:28) And my race, my two races, I edit coast to coast. Neither of them were perfect. I loved every minute of both races. The one, the one which is encapsulated in the book and then the one that I did this year earlier this year the best experiences of my life because you know, I've, I've now gained this massive community of people. Oh, I'm so connected now to hundreds and hundreds of people that do this race. It's opened my life up instead of like me going, God, I wish, I wish I had more friends. So I wish that I hadn't with deep friendships in my life, all that stuff was there all along, but he still wasn't being a very good friend to myself. I didn't feel I deserved it. Now that I'm, that I know that I'm okay, I realize that and I'm embracing that, but everything else has just improved. So I still struggle with depression and fate. Speaker 4: (25:19) Two days ago I really crushed again, like it had been building up subconsciously. My, my lockdown experience has been like a dream can be to a lot of people's and like kids have been so wonderful, but yeah, but I haven't, I need this space. I need the aligned time. And I need the time to just risk that, you know, when the kids are at school, if I'm not doing well, yup. You know, I say it's okay for me to risk cause I need to do that or there's certain strategies I've put in place and I haven't been able to do that. So that boat up to the point where it just all came out and, and, and I was like the irritability and the anger and the just feeling side low and just the brain fog was bad. And, but I've been here before. I lived experience, I know passes in the news today I signed up and did a yoga class and 9:00 AM to just get my day rolling in the right way and, and just yeah, like in street, like your home, I'm homeschooling. I'm not a teacher. Speaker 3: (26:18) You're not alone in this panel. I think there are many linear, many parents now they going, hell yeah, I get you. Speaker 4: (26:25) So you'd be a stay. It doesn't matter. Really the bigger picture is that you're okay. Yeah. And that everyone's happy. Speaker 3: (26:32) You know what? And what I find powerful about data to say, sometimes people write about, you've written a book, I've written three books. People think you've got it all together now you've written about it in a year together and you're, you're on top of it. And nothing could be further from the truth. We are all on a journey and as you said before, there's a spectrum and there's a, you know, we're all improving our mental health and I've been doing a lot of study lately on functional genomics and looking at genes and your predisposition to certain ways of you know, how long adrenaline stays in your body, how fast the dopamine mean is take, is processed, all of these chemical things and actually have an influence, which I'd love to talk to you about actually separately. I'll, I'll on that topic. When you, once you start to understand your genes, I think that all and what you can do to, to help support that that will be a really another great thing to, to, to have in your toolkit. Speaker 3: (27:24) But we need talkative. This isn't talking about like every time I go through a horrible experience and hard times, I really have a little bit more then I can use it. It can, it can either break me and there've been things that have nearly broken me and where I thought I was broken. And that was that. But you know, I managed to stand up. And then when you do stand back up, you've got another tool that you've been able to overcome. And this is why [inaudible] this story is so powerful and I really encourage people to go and get the book the longest day. Mine's on its way. And I'm looking forward to diving into it and into the story. And it really, if, if this, if this interview you guys sitting out there listening to this, if this is the reason I did with you, what's Matt saying? Speaker 3: (28:12) And you think that this could help you know, ground. Grab that book the longest day, shake it out, see what Mets all about and, and see if, if there's something in there for you that can help you. We write these books because we're just sharing Ella stories and we're not experts necessarily, but the, the value lies in the [inaudible] okay. In being open sharing honestly. Yeah. And giving other people a new perspective on the crap that they're going to, cause sometimes you cannot see the forest for the trees when you're in the middle of it. And another thing is, yeah, Speaker 4: (28:49) That your experiences as, as you need better does really quite universal. And the more you share about what's happening for you, then then you're giving other people permission. Feel connected. But also to share about, back to you, like, so you get back what you reflect out. And I, I've, I've seen it, what's going on with me with a lot of people, perfect strangers in a way, within 20 seconds of meeting a perfect stranger. I've gotten really good at being able to just sorta segue into a real deep conversation. And it's really one voice because, okay, we're, we're all, we're all sort of wandering around the planet aimlessly and then we collide with each other and we can make these really kind of amazing connections. And you don't have to be the best friend or the person you'd leave them. You might never see them again. But if I felt quite special way and then Speaker 3: (29:40) You feel and Speaker 4: (29:42) Going around being, I mean we have to do with our professional hats on and network and song be a certain way and so on. Well I don't have to, cause I'm sad I'm gay so I'm the most unprofessional person. Speaker 3: (29:52) But this is a thing and this is why I think we buy some, you know, we both kept them of our own ship cause I don't go to work either. I work my ass off but I wasn't going to work is that I can be who I am and that is the most precious thing to me and I can be the real person and not the person that, you know, people want me to be, you know, at least my son. You can just be you and [inaudible] and you can connect and this is what the other are that sport does. And when you're out doing the, the either coast to coast or an ultra marathon somewhere, you go through so much shit and that period of time and so much hardship and so much pain and so much doubts and so much whatever and the preparation and everything that the person that's running next to you or your crew or whatever the case may be, that going through it with you and they're experiencing. Speaker 3: (30:40) And that creates a bond that can, that is better than what the normal bottoms when you just go to have coffee with your friends, you know, and it's like, you know, when soldiers go to war together and they come back, they have a bond that I don't think we as outside people can ever actually understand because they've wrapped together and there is a beauty in this, even though it can be hard at the time. There is a beauty in that as well. And having those deep connections with other humans is a real human need. And you know, we, we sort of sometimes think we can be lone wolfs and we can, I mean, I used to definitely try and be the lone Wolf and I don't need everybody and and it was only because I was hurting, you know, it was only cause I didn't have that connection that I really sought needed. And you do dumb things in, you know ma, I know you've got a, an appointment to get to and I've got another coaching session to do. I would really like to continue this conversation, you know, maybe in a second or a little bit later on because I think it needs to be really explored so we can people buy the book, where can they find out about you and your blog and all the other work that you're doing that. Speaker 4: (31:49) So, so the book is published by element on one. I just hear from them that that wall are not fulfilling orders at the moment, but when it starts back up again, you can order it. Online. You just, you just Google the longest day met Kellman at all. They all know at links pop up, you can get it for Kindle on Amazon and for a reader on ebooks.com. Which was another instant way to be able to read it in the lockdown. A lot of people have done that yet. Speaker 3: (32:19) ebooks. And do you have a website met that you personally have? Speaker 4: (32:24) Yes, mattcalman.com so MA, T, T, C A L M A N . com l and he's a lengthier actually to to buy the book. And you sit on my photos. thats from my racing in falling out a client days, which Speaker 3: (32:40) Will continue. I wouldn't even, I had a certain one, one of those rice ones you haven't loved until you said. That's nice. Good. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom today. I really appreciate it. It's been an honor to have you on and to meet another fellow author, you know, doing, doing cool stuff in the world. So thank you very much for your time. Thanks so much. Been great. Speaker 1: (33:08) That's it this week for pushing the limits. Be sure to write, review, and share with your friends and head over and visit Lisa and her team at lisatamati.com.  

It has been said that while it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others. If you want to get a feel for what business school is really like before embarking on the journey yourself, why not pick the brain of someone who has gone before you?That's exactly what we did in this episode of The Dominate Test Prep Podcast. We caught up with Sam Klein, a current second-year MBA candidate at the Duke Fuqua School of Business, and asked him everything from what he thinks helped him stand out during the admissions process to what has been the most impactful part of his business education, and everything in between. Specifically, we cover:Why this aerospace engineer decided to switch careers and go back to business schoolWhy he chose the GMAT over the GREHow to answer the "Why business school?" question on your applicationHow the expected ROI factored into his decision to pursue an MBAWhat he thinks sets Duke Fuqua apart from other top business schoolsWhy the "soft skills" you learn in business school are perhaps even more important than what takes place in the classroomWhat makes a full-time 2-year MBA advantageous over other types of part-time or online MBA programsThe importance of networking -- and how to do it wellTips on preparing for the GMATWhat he wishes he had known before showing up for Day 1 of classes, and how you can make sure you don't start from behind like he didHow his idea of what he thought he wanted to do with his MBA evolved over the course of his two yearsAnd more! Peek behind the MBA curtain and learn from firsthand from Sam what getting an MBA from a top-ranked business school is actually like. Hopefully it helps you decide whether an MBA is right for you and provides you with some practical tips for getting accepted and maximizing your time on campus.

I Serienetts siste regulære julepodcastsending ser panelet vårt mest på amerikanske seriar frå etter 1949. Arild bruker samlenemninga «Sånne hefter som er der heile tida, men som du ikkje er så opptatt av» mens Knut Robert oppsummerar det som «hefter som du kjøper etter du har kjøpt alt som er bra». Men i praksis betyr det amerikanske teikneseriar. Etter å ha vurdert Hårek gjer panelet gjer seg nokre betraktningar om komplettisme før dei går vidare Tommy & Tiger’n – Eit meisterverk, sjølve serien, men kva nytte gjer juleheftet? Tom & Jerry har alltids den dyktige Oscar Martin, men i år har heftet i tillegg nokre serieskaparar som er vanskelegare å identifisere. Pusur overlever framleis som julehefte – «For Førtiåringar som føler seg som femtenåringar» meiner Knut Robert. Til slutt har Billy, overraskande nok, heilt nytt og spesiallaga materiale, av Sam Klein. Særleg bra er det jo ikkje, men Klein og forlaget skal ha for forsøket. Vil Raptus vurdere Sam Klein som Raptusgjest neste år?
