It all started with one front yard lemonade stand. When she was just four-years-old, Alex held her first childhood cancer fundraiser in her front yard and raised over $2,000. By the time of her death in 2004, Alex raised $1 million and inspired a legacy of hope and cures for childhood cancer. Since Alex set up her first lemonade stand in 2000—truly exemplifying the saying “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade”—we have raised more than $200 million. That money has helped to: Fund more than 1,000 cutting-edge research projects at nearly 150 institutions. Created a travel program to help support families of children receiving treatment and develop resources, such as our SuperSibs! program to help people everywhere affected by childhood cancer. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is the living embodiment of Alex's spirit of determination and hope. Like Alex, we believe that every person can make a difference. Together, we can bring about a cure. Please join us in “making lemons into lemonade” today! alexslemonade.org

Panelists Eric Berry | Justin Dorfman | Richard Littauer Guest Amanda Brock OpenUK Andrew Katz Orcro Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! Today, we have two special guests from the UK, Amanda Brock and Andrew Katz. Amanda is CEO of the UK body for “open” and OpenUK. Andrew is a lawyer working for a small boutique consulting firm that does open source things. We are discussing contact tracing apps and how they are going. We will find out how Amanda built her team when she was at Canonical. Then we will find out all about OpenUK and OpenUK KidsCamp, and the MINI-MU Glove, which is the coolest things ever! Andrew tells us about open hardware, Open-Silicon, open source licensing, and research he is doing. Download this episode now to learn more! [00:01:06] Alex and Amanda tell us how they know each other and what they are working on. [00:02:30] Since Alex and Amanda are both involved in contact tracing apps, which are coming out right now, they talk a bit about the British effort there and how it’s going. [00:06:38] Justin is curious and wants Amanda to tell us when working at Canonical, the day to day for a lawyer just coming into the organization that was shaking things up in the Linux world and just the open source world, what did she do and how did she build the team. She also talks about the Dell deal when Dell started putting Ubuntu on their laptops for context, which was the first thing she worked on. [00:10:54] Andrew turns the table and asks Amanda how it felt and how did you adapt to dealing with changes in negotiation dynamic changes. Richard asks how has that fueled your work with OpenUK and how do you feel that experience has allowed you to go forth and work there and what are your goals? [00:15:24] Amanda talks about what OpenUK does and she tells us more about OpenUK KidsCamp, which their goal is have it running by 2022. She talks about the “MINI-MU Glove.” What a cool thing! (kit linked below.) [00:22:41] Justin goes back to Canonical and wants to know what went wrong with Ubuntu phone. Andrew tells us how his experience has been working with open hardware. Andrew also lets us know of some other open hardware projects other than what he’s working on. He explains what Open-Silicon is. [00:30:17] Eric wants to know what challenges Andrew is seeing with open source licensing and does he feel there is a certain amount of pressure or necessity for you to push and determine these different licenses that should exist. Also, what’s the goal of the research he’s been doing. [00:35:41] Richard is amazed by the level of hardware hack that seems to go on in Britain, like RepRap, and he asks Andrew if he has any thoughts on why they are further along. [00:39:27] Amanda tells us where we could find them and where can we read about the work that’s going on and she tells us about her book. [00:45:40] Eric has one last question for Amanda and Alex and asks them why do they think that these countries are not wanting to open source their research and their findings in order to help us reach our goal of everybody can go back to school and work? They tell us their thoughts on this.

Since Alex and Nathan were left to their own devices on this live show, Alex started up his stream of Minecraft Dungeons. But we’re truncating a good portion of this episode so it is much easier to digest. The big topic this week is experimenting with InspiroBot quotes to think up new one shot ideas. […]
For this lesson GABRIEL digs up an old recording of Alan Licht, a sound artist, guitarist, composer and critic. Since Alex got his hand stuck in a pringles can, Gabriel interviews Alan and gets to the bottom of “what the heck is sound art”? and his book Sound Art: Revisited. How does one talk about it? How do you display it in a gallery or public space? What is the art historical backing to this relatively new auditory medium? Is Lady Gaga sound art???

In this episode, Colin, Doug, and Alex talk about the NCAA's ruling on letting college athletes cash in on their name, image, and likeness. Since Alex was a D1 back-up kicker (lol), he provides some good insight. Next, we talk about mindset privilege. What can you do to take your life to the next level? How does your mindset play a role? We wrap up with discussing questions that sound good, but in reality, are bad to ask when interviewing a financial advisor.
I first met Alex at one of my Shamanic Breathwork sessions, after she came over and offered me a free treatment with her at her clinic. I loved her energy and went a few days later, and was blown away by the way she worked with my body. She not only has too many university diplomas and degrees with 17 years experience in the field of scientific bodywork - she is a certified physiotherapist, a licensed osteopath, an expert in myofascial induction (and more); she is also profoundly spiritual and gifted with healing hands. In this podcast we talk about what its like to grown up with two nationalities, and bridging the gap between family life in two different cultures. I find it I find it ubiquitous that she now has grown to embody a bridge between two other worlds: science - and spirituality. We talk about pain, as a teacher, and the importance of finding the origin and not just take pills to kill the symptom. We also talk about energy work, what its like giving so much of your energy to others and working with people who are suffering. Since Alex came into my life, I have sent her many of my friends, team mates and yogis and everyone has been amazed at her skills. She has also become a true friend, and I am so excited she agreed to shine her light on this podcast. Please see below for an abbreviated list of her many studies: 2002 – 2005: Physiotherapy – San Pablo CEU University, Madrid. 2006 – 2007: Expert in Lymphatic Drainage, European University of Madrid, CEES. All pathologies but Specially in Oncology patients. 2009 – 2010: Sports Physiotherapy, Complutense University of Madrid: Sport injuries, Nutrition in sports, Sport physiology, Cardio, X-Rays, Treatment, Proprioception, Myofascial Liberation (Andrej Pilat), Maitland, Hydrotherapy, Bandages, Trigger Points-Dry needling, Lymphatic Drainage, Cyriax- Hook/Clasp, Pilates, Kinesiotaping, Muscular Chains, Electro-stimulation and Neurodinamia. 2012 – 2014: Degree in Structural Osteopathy. ONCE University of Madrid. 2018 - 2019: Myofascial Induction level III. Tupimek. Madrid. I sincerely hope you will enjoy this episode.

Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship
This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Alex Quin. At just 24 years old, Alex is a Forbes accredited entrepreneur, investor, and influencer. He’s worked with everyone from Adidas, McLaren to Puma and Red Bull through his marketing agency, UADV. On top of that, he has investments in a number of other entities, owns an exotic car rental company, and produces documentaries on entrepreneurship and other aspects of the entrepreneur life. One of the things Alex said to me when we first met is that hustle inspires hustle. He’s right and that is just one of the reasons I asked him to come on and share what he has learned on his journey with you in this episode. www.AlexQuin.com @MrAlexQuin on social Since Alex was a little kid, he had an entrepreneurial mindset and was a master at arbitrage. After graduating high school, he worked in food-service doing all the lowly tasks someone can do while he built his business. His first business was car shows like you’d see in Fast and Furious. They had initial success and had partners like Lamborghini and others. The business blew up, but it was cash suck. They could pay for the events, but not have much leftover. It was the connections he made that would later help his business today. He kept working in food-service, but also started driving as a chauffeur for the CEO of a major Advertising agency in Miami. After learning some from the CEO, he quit his job and started his advertising business. Now, they are a private agency that carries out its own projects and invests in others as a partner. At 6 min mark, Alex explains what it means to “just keep going” and “sometimes it is just part of the cycle and process.” Consistency is the most critical aspect of succeeding. Was there a time where you hit bottom? How did you claw your way back? Yes! At least 4 times! Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster that never stops There is always something happening that you have to work on, overcome, or work through. Sometimes you are going to doubt ourselves and our biggest opponent is our mind. You must learn to defeat your own negative thoughts and you can always make it through. Advice on how to overcome? It like a game. Like sports. The big game. You start off on the team as 3rd stringer You’ve got to practice and put your time in. You’ve got to learn the little tricks and habits to make you better. You’ve got to commit and then you work your way up. No one is a “starter” in entrepreneurship out of the gate. All business is training yourself. It’s you that must be trained. There is no such thing as a loss…there is only a lesson to learn. At the 14 min mark, Alex explains “Hustle Inspires Hustle…” Alex loves to infect people with good energy. Doing what you do and doing so well that others gravitate to you and are inspired by you. That is hustle inspiring hustle. We all can inspire someone else in some way. Every day, someone can be looking up to you. What have you learned about building a business through your experience? If you are creative, at some point, you will have to choose between being a creative and business person. It is very hard to do both. Getting business is about the numbers. If you reach out to enough people, you are going to see a return. If you are not getting a return, you are not talking to enough people. Pivoting requires time and strategy and is not something to just do. You have to really think through what you want. But, you have to be open-minded and sometimes the things you want are not life has planned for you. As long as you stay true to your values, you will be good. How does someone pivot effectively and make it happen? You have to know when to keep going and when to cut your losses. Your gut will tell you. You have to believe in yourself enough. You can only control YOUR actions and must focus on those things you can control. Sit down, make a plan, and then be obsessed with executing. Entrepreneurship is not for those unsure of themselves and that don’t believe in themselves. Can someone who doesn’t believe in themselves learn to do so? How? You can learn. You learn by the little victories you have. Every day you will run into little adversities that give you a chance to overcome them. Each time you overcome, you get stronger. You have to go through the weeds to get to the flowers. What your biggest success hacks? Maintain awareness of world news at all times Maintain awareness of what is happening in culture Taking solid care of himself both mentally and physically Remaining humble and slowing down when it is needed Keep your mind open to learn new things. We know very little at the end of the day. Surround yourself with people that you can really trust and that you know will stick it out through very hard times. It takes time to find them. Best Quote: “There is no step by step guide on how to succeed as an entrepreneur. There are only takeaways that you can grab and apply to your situation to create your own formula.” Alex's Misfit 3: Honesty. Be honest with others and be honest with yourself. Humility. Materials things come and go. Keep your humility and be true to yourself. Hustle. If you are honest, humble, and you hustle – you are going to get what you want.
This episode, Brad and Kurt are sans Alex Justinger. Aw! Too bad so sad, suckah'! Since Alex is nowhere around, Brad and Kurt decide to take a walk down memory lane and delve into their film score CD booklets. Now, full disclosure: these CD booklets are the large, 300 disc versions people used to buy at Wal-Mart and Best Buy. Remember when people bought CDs? No?! Well, that's why it is a walk down ''memory lane''. Now, to give away what Brad and Kurt talked about during this Scoring Session would ruin the fun of listening to the episode. The fun is the surprise because even they didn't know what they would come across. But they do talk about buying film scores blind, before the internet was so flush with information and resources. They also delve into random finds, vacation picks, and some of their favorites. And this is really a walk down memory lane because, even though Brad and Kurt still listen to many of the scores in their CD booklets, some of these have not come up in a long time. So sit back, relax, get some popcorn and a coke, and listen as Brad and Kurt rummage through their collection. Just like that delicious box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get! Thanks for listening.
Welcome back listeners! Since Alex and I are still pretty busy with college and theatre, we decided to review a movie that's a little older but was widely ignored when it first came out. We are also so excited to have our first ever episode that features our little theme song! Many, many thanks to Nick Oakley for composing it for us! As always, we very much appreciate you listening and we ask that you rate and review us on iTunes so we can be found by other movie lovers. Enjoy the latest episode of Shot for Shot!!! -Monica
When you set your intentions, good things happen. Alex recently got the office space he wanted, which is literally minutes away from his house and the building had a waiting list on it! How did he do it? Persistence and commitment, but most importantly, setting the intention and not giving up. Key Takeaways: Be insanely intentional about what you want and why you want it. What are your needs and what are your wants? Assess your priorities and then come up with a plan. Three years ago, Alex's average profit per deal was hovering between $12 - $13K. When Alex set the intention to aim for $20K per deal … Guess what … his team did it. You've got to get buy-in from your team. If you don't ask, then you don't receive. Alex never wanted an office, but with two young children running around at home, Alex couldn't work from home anymore and had to find office space. Since Alex wanted something within a 5-minute drive, Alex started knocking on businesses' doors looking for office space! Doughnuts! Doughnuts are your friends. This is the perfect example of what being insanely intentional and committed to something looks like. Sometimes you gotta think a little bit outside of the box and get creative. Know why you want something, set your sights on it, and then don't take no for an answer. The more nos you get, the closer you are to a yes.

Since Alex & Eliza left us unsatisfied, we decided to read some anonymously-written 19th century erotica. And who better to accompany us for The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr than Mackenzi Lee, author of The Gentleman’s Guide … Continue reading →
In this episode, four-season hiker Tammy Daugherty talks about surviving breast cancer, hiking with her daughter, her plans for the The Grid, sexism when it comes to hiking, and much more. Since Alex was at camp, Sage interviewed Tammy and edited this episode on her own.
