What even is the Law of Consecration?! Well it's a covenant that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints make during the temple endowment ceremony, but what actually is it? We go through a deep dive of the Law of Consecration, discuss a bit of its history, and pontificate about it's impact and possible future use in Mormon culture today. After that we review Gate to Women's Country by Sheri S. Tepper, a wonderful dystopian fantasy novel with some hard-hitting social commentary we interpret through a Mormon lens. We round out the episode by congratulating LeVar Burton receiving long-deserved recognition. Patrons: we debrief/deconstruct the recent debate between Bryce and a certain litigious individual.

Extraterrestrial Trilogue On Terran Self-Destruction by Sheri S. Tepper

When I used to read random textbooks on economics a few years ago, economies of scale was not a topic I paid much attention to... In this interview with Tony Medina, we talk in-depth about why economies of scale are so important when looking at a business model and why your first instinct may be completely wrong...   Tony Medina is the CEO of https://www.seoulguidemedical.com/en/home/ (Seoul Guide Medical), a private company that manages top calibre plastic surgery hospitals in Seoul Korea as well as works with one of the best Dental Surgeons on the planet, Dr Chulmin Bae from http://oaksdentalkorea.com (Oaks Dental Clinic) in Gangnam.   In this Episode of https://expatmoneyshow.com (The Expat Money Show), we discuss Tony's experiences as an Expat Entrepreneur for the last 10 plus years living in Seoul Korea. He shares a hilarious (and also scary) story of travelling to meet a previous high-level client in Kazakstan.   Wikipedia Explains Economies of Scale as: "In microeconomics, economies of scale are the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to their scale of operation (typically measured by amount of output produced), with cost per unit of output decreasing with increasing scale. Economies of scale apply to a variety of organizational and business situations and at various levels, such as a business or manufacturing unit, plant or an entire enterprise." But that does not give us a very good understanding as Expats trying to create your own businesses or to increase our income. Tony Medina uses the example of why a country like Korea can move so much further ahead then somewhere like the USA in something like Cosmetic Surgery. Listen to the full Episode (above) to hear the full story.   You can learn more about Tony Medina and his company at: Website: https://www.seoulguidemedical.com/en/home/ (www.SeoulGuideMedical.com) IG: https://www.instagram.com/seoulguidemedical/ (seoulguidemedical)   In this episode we discuss: Why you should not get arrested in Kazakhstan Understand economies of scale How to solve a problem The number one skill every entrepreneur should focus on   Books we discuss: http://amzn.to/2jB4oWa (A Wrinkle in Time) by Madeleine L'Engle http://amzn.to/2jAmF5Q (The Gate to Women's Country) by Sheri S. Tepper   Coaches and Mentors: https://grantcardone.com/?rfsn=617026.9c09c4&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=influencers&utm_campaign=617026.9c09c4 (Grant Cardone)   Random Stuff from the Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-sfG8BV8wU   Final Thoughts: This interview was really enjoyable for me. Tony Medina has been one of my closest friends for many years and we have travelled all over the planet together (not to mention the 60 some-odd times I have gone to Korea to visit him for work) and I can attest first hand to the success Tony has created for himself in a country completely different from where we grew up in and in a language that is not the easiest to learn.

This week, with Gary returned from Archipelacon in Finland, we touch once again upon the problems of translation, the Finnish Weird, the international SF community, and such timely matters as the 50th anniversary of Frank Herbert's Dune, the announcement of World Fantasy Life Achievement winners Ramsey Campbell and Sheri S. Tepper, new critical books in the series from University of Illinois, and even some odd ideas about short books or essays we'd like to see on the model of the 33 1/3 series, as well as the usual random rambles. Next time we'll be back with a special episode recorded at Archipelacon featuring Karin Tidbeck and Cheryl Morgan.  As always, we hope you enjoy this week's show!
