A rock band is only as good as its ability to surprise you, and Anne Harris is built for surprise. She's the fiddle player you hear with Cracker, and we talk about the first night it clicked that turned into an open invitation to sit in and stretch out. Along the way, Anne explains what makes musical chemistry real: shared taste, trust, and the kind of listening that turns solos into a back-and-forth conversation.We get deep into the art of live improvisation and why it keeps a show from getting stale, especially when the set can change on a dime. Anne also tackles the difference between a violinist and a fiddle player, and how style and tradition shape the same instrument.From there, the story widens across projects like Gypsy Blue Review and Halo Rider, and touring with Taj Mahal and Keb Mo as part of TajMo, a gig she describes as a living education in music history.If you care about live music, real human creativity, and the stories behind the songs, listen through and share it with a friend who still believes the stage is sacred.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

Blues is the Truth #809 We are keeping that momentum rolling this week with our brilliant partners at the Crawdaddy Club Richmond. Following on from our sponsorship news, I have got some fantastic upcoming gig details for you in this edition. We are looking forward to the return of The Terraplanes Blues Band to the club at The Turks Head in Twickenham on Friday July 17th, so make sure you lock that into your calendars. The playlist for this two hour stretch is an absolute dream for anyone who loves their blues with real feel and conviction. We are getting things moving with the brilliant guitar work of Buddy Whittington, the raw energy of Bad Influence, and the soulful vocals of Tomiko Dixon. I am also incredibly proud to be sharing another exclusive track from my old band, Blues is Truth, giving you another taste of what we put together in the studio sixteen years ago. The heavy grooves keep coming with The Terraplanes Blues Band showing us exactly why they are one of the best on the circuit, followed by the king Freddie King and another top tier segment from The Paul Michael Band. We are bridging the gap into some massive sounds with The Black Keys, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, and the incredible harmonica mastery of Giles Robson alongside Robbin Kapsalis and Oli Mac and Hi Rhythm. The second hour is completely relentless. You will hear the powerhouse Joe Bonamassa, Ron Sorin and the Blue Coast Band, the legendary Taj Mahal, and the wonderful acoustic touch of Kaspar ‘Berry' Rapkin. We have also got West London's own Erroll Linton, the beautiful talent of Leoni Jane Kennedy, Bobby Messano, and the deep organ grooves of Roosevelt Purifoy. Wrapping up this massive session in style, we are clearing the deck for Jimmie Vaughan, Anthony Geraci, Little Mike and the Tornadoes, the powerhouse vocals of Kyla Brox, and the swampy Southern soul of JJ Grey and Mofro. It is two hours of pure unadulterated music that flows perfectly from the first note to the last.

as they fell on the white marble of the Taj Mahal.Hi: यमुना के किनारे बहता ठंडा पानी और उगते हुए सूरज की हल्की-हल्की सी हवा, यहां की रौनक को बढ़ा रही थी।En: The cold water flowing along the banks of the Yamuna and the gentle breeze of the rising sun were enhancing the charm of the place.Hi: भीड़ के बीच घूमते पर्यटकों के चेहरे पर एक अजीब सी शांति बसी हुई थी।En: Amidst the crowd, there was an unusual calmness settled on the faces of the wandering tourists.Hi: इसी भीड़ में घूमते हुए, एक अनोखी कहानी धीरे-धीरे उभरने वाली थी।En: In this very crowd, a unique story was gradually beginning to unfold.Hi: राघव, एक यात्रा फोटोग्राफर था।En: Raghav was a travel photographer.Hi: वह अपने कैमरे के साथ ताजमहल की अलग-अलग कोणों से तस्वीरें खींचने की कोशिश कर रहा था।En: He was trying to capture pictures of the Taj Mahal from different angles with his camera.Hi: लेकिन भीड़ इतनी ज्यादा थी कि उसे कोई अनोखा कोण नहीं मिल रहा था।En: But the crowd was so overwhelming that he could not find a unique angle.Hi: निराश होकर वह थक जाने लगा।En: Feeling frustrated, he began to tire.Hi: तभी उसने देखा कि एक छोटे समूह की ओर एक गाइड यात्रियों का ध्यान आकर्षित करने की कोशिश कर रहा था।En: Just then, he noticed a guide trying to grab the attention of a small group of tourists.Hi: गाइड का नाम सिद्धार्थ था।En: The guide's name was Siddharth.Hi: वह उन यात्रियों को ताजमहल की कहानियां सुना रहा था।En: He was narrating stories of the Taj Mahal to those tourists.Hi: लेकिन उसके कहानियों में कोई दिलचस्पी नहीं दिखा रहा था।En: However, no one seemed to be interested in his stories.Hi: उसकी आंखों में एक खास चमक थी, जो शायद नयी जगहों को देखने की इच्छा को दर्शा रही थी।En: There was a special sparkle in his eyes that perhaps reflected a desire to see new places.Hi: उसी भीड़ में, मीरा भी थी।En: In the same crowd was Meera.Hi: एक इतिहास प्रेमी, जो ताजमहल के पीछे छिपी कहानियां जानने के लिए बेकरार थी।En: A history enthusiast, she was eager to learn the stories hidden behind the Taj Mahal.Hi: लेकिन वह जानती थी कि सामान्य गाइड से ऐसे सवालों के जवाब नहीं मिलते।En: But she knew that such answers were not readily obtained from an ordinary guide.Hi: इसलिए उसने फैसला किया कि वह सीधे सिद्धार्थ से बात करेगी और ताजमहल के अनसुने किस्से जानेगी।En: Therefore, she decided to talk directly to Siddharth to learn the untold tales of the Taj Mahal.Hi: सूरज धीरे-धीरे ढल रहा था।En: The sun was gradually setting.Hi: ताजमहल की पूर्वी ओर अब चहल-पहल कम हो गई थी।En: There was now less hustle and bustle on the eastern side of the Taj Mahal.Hi: राघव, मीरा, और सिद्धार्थ तीनों वहीं थे।En: Raghav, Meera, and Siddharth were all there.Hi: राघव ने सोचा कि शायद यही मौका हो जब वह एक अनुपम तस्वीर खींच सके।En: Raghav thought that this might be the perfect opportunity to take an exceptional photograph.Hi: मीरा ने सिद्धार्थ से कहा, "तुम्हारे पास जो कहानियां हैं, उन्हें सुनकर मैं बहुत कुछ सीख सकती हूं।"En: Meera said to Siddharth, "Listening to the stories you have, I can learn a lot."Hi: सिद्धार्थ ने कुछ सोचा और फिर बोलने लगा, "मेरी दादी बता रही थीं कि मेरे परदादा यहां काम करते थे।En: Siddharth pondered for a moment and then began to speak, "My grandmother used to say that my great-grandfather worked here.Hi: उन्होंने ताजमहल के बनने की पूरी कहानी देखी।En: He witnessed the entire construction of the Taj Mahal.Hi: उनकी बातें सुनकर हमेशा मुझे ऐसा लगता था कि जैसे मैं भी वहां था।..."En: Listening to his stories always made me feel like I was there too..."Hi: सिद्धार्थ की कहानी सुनते-सुनते मीरा को ऐसा लगा जैसे इतिहास की किताब का एक नया पन्ना खुल रहा था।En: As Siddharth narrated his story, Meera felt as if a new page of a history book was unfolding.Hi: इसी बीच, राघव उस क्षण को अपने कैमरे में कैद कर रहा था, जब सिद्धार्थ की आंखों में बीते समय की छवियां साफ दिखाई दे रही थीं।En: In the meantime, Raghav was capturing that moment with his camera, capturing the reflections of the past clearly visible in Siddharth's eyes.Hi: इस सुनहरी शाम का अंत तीनों के जीवन में एक नई शुरुआत लेकर आया।En: The golden evening marked a new beginning in the lives of the three of them.Hi: राघव ने मीरा और सिद्धार्थ से संपर्कों का आदान-प्रदान किया।En: Raghav exchanged contact information with Meera and Siddharth.Hi: उसे अब एक नई प्रेरणा मिली थी और उसने निर्णय लिया कि वह सिद्धार्थ की कहानी पर एक चित्र प्रदर्शनी लगाएगा।En: He now had new inspiration and decided to hold a photo exhibition based on Siddharth's story.Hi: मीरा ने भी तय किया कि वह इस नई कहानी को अपने लेख में शामिल करेगी।En: Meera also decided to include this new story in her article.Hi: उनके लिए यह छोटी-सी मुलाकात एक बड़ा बदलाव लेकर आई।En: This brief meeting brought about significant change for them.Hi: राघव की फोटोग्राफी में नया जोश आया, मीरा ने इतिहास की गहराइयों में डूबने की खुशी पाई, और सिद्धार्थ ने महसूस किया कि उसकी कहानियां लोगों के दिलों को छू सकती हैं।En: Raghav found new zeal in his photography, Meera found joy in delving deeper into history, and Siddharth realized that his stories could touch people's hearts.Hi: ताजमहल उस दिन एक अनोखा गवाह बना, जहां कहानियां और भावनाएं आपस में जुड़ गईं।En: The Taj Mahal became a unique witness that day, where stories and emotions intertwined.

Why does the word "paradise" — as used in every European language, in Arabic, in Urdu — simply mean "walled garden" in Old Persian, and what does that tell us about the civilisation that turned a horticultural achievement into humanity's vision of the afterlife? How did Cyrus the Great build a garden in the middle of one of Earth's most extreme deserts using a 3,000-year-old technology that is still working today? And why does the Taj Mahal, visited by millions who have never heard of the chahar bagh, turn out to be the most famous Persian garden on Earth?Join John and Patrick as they tell the story of Iran and the paradise garden — the qanats, the four rivers of the Quran, and the walled enclosure that became heaven...----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

De todo el paseíto que se ha dado Mr. Prevost por España la apoteosis tuvo lugar este miércoles, cómo no, en Cataluña. El espectáculo de luz y de color, ¡ante el que nadie ha osado emitir una burla!, es muestra del lugar que ocupa la religión en el mundo contemporáneo. Fue, observó, algo así como TV3, que en el fondo de una estética perfecta –la fina Maria Gorgues, la gitana Àngels Barceló– anidaba Salvador Alsius y su diario santoral.Y claro, ahora que Barcelona tiene la torre más alta de la cristiandad, ¡Taj Mahal, Torre Eiffel!, ¿qué haremos con los turistas? Seguir la doctrina aldeana instaurada por la señora Colau, y eliminar las bicis de alquiler de empresas privadas.Aún no sabemos el valor cabal de las joyas de Zapatero, pero el asunto pinta mal. Si no tenían valor, se pregunta desde el primer día que se encontraron, ¿qué hacían en una caja fuerte? Pero pasó enseguida de mentor a mentado, para comentar la hilarante intervención de Sánchez en el Congreso. Víctima de las élites, se declaró, internacionales, nada menos. Ah, ya lo ha dejado dicho: él es nuestro Trump.Celebró que Tim Cook se vaya de Apple ¡al fin! y apostilló un nuevo burning paper que acredita que para las mujeres la belleza va más allá de la sexualidad.Y fue así que Espada yiró.Bibliografía:- Jaume Boix y Arcadi Espada, El deporte del poder. - Burning: Eugen Wassiliwizky, Brendan P.

Is your practice going out of network to make more money? Fantastic, but make sure you listen to this episode first. Kiera talks about all the numbers you absolutely need to know before you make the decision, and other, smaller considerations you could make instead. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners this is Kiera and today I am excited to chat with you about a pretty popular topic that people are always wanting to ask questions about they want to get to know like Kiera, I just want to go out of network. And I say, great, let's talk about it. Let's have a really good conversation about what going out of network actually means what it looks like for you and your practice and how we're able to support you on that.   So if you're new to the Dental A Team, welcome, I'm Kiera Dent. I love all things dentistry. My last name really is Dent and I believe that our job is to positively impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible. I think that we are so lucky and so blessed to be able to work in dentistry, to be able to serve and help so many patients. And so I hope that you just know that you're doing a great work out there, that you are changing lives, that you are benefiting so many people. And I am so glad that you've chosen to spend your time with Dental A Team.   If you love our podcast, please, like, please go leave us a review. Like, subscribe, share. It helps us out so much. You have no idea. Just like you want patients to leave you great reviews after you see them. Leaving us a great review for the podcast actually helps us reach more practices and that's our ultimate goal. And I do read them and I'm so grateful for your amazing reviews. So let's talk about going out of network. Going out of network, everybody wants to do it because they want to make money, right? Like I am getting these terrible reimbursement rates and so that's why I'm going to do it.   But what I want you to realize is when you go out of network, you actually become a marketing company. Okay, I hope you heard that. When you go out of network, you become a marketing company. And what that looks like is you now have to work to retain these patients. So when I help practices go out of network, like that's totally fine. You're allowed to do it, but let's make sure we look at the numbers. Let's make sure we do the math. How much is it going to cost for us to market to these new patients? How is it going to be for us to retain these new patients? How are we going to be able to actually get these patients to stay with us long-term?   Now we don't have the insurance clause that's keeping patients here. Also, if you don't know, insurance companies do often send letters to your patients telling them, hey, if you just go down to this other dentist, they're actually an in-network provider. I kid you not, you think that it's dirty, they're allowed to play dirty. So just so you know, when you do this, you start facing this huge uphill battle and I've had practices almost go belly up after going out of network. That's not to say that going out of network's wrong.   but I even have practices that are fee for service right now and they're like we just cannot drive new patients because trying to compete with people in network is so hard and I think about it like Let's just run the fees and I know you sit here and you dream about this grand day of like but Kiera if I was out of network I could get paid so much for a crown and I'm like, yes But then you're only doing like two crowns instead of 20 crowns So there is a volume game, which is not a wrong game to play But I just want you to like realize that you really have to drive your marketing. You have to be   top notch, you have to look to see how you're gonna drive patients to your practice. You have to beg, you will have an uptick in your spend on marketing when you go out of network as well. So it's not all flour, sunshine and gravy. And so sometimes I just look at like, what's the biggest pain point and could we maybe drop one or two insurance companies instead of dropping all of them. If you have more patients than you know what to do with and I'm talking you are booked out seven, eight, nine months to get your patients back in. It might be worth considering, could we drop one or two plans?   Or could we expand and add in more providers before we drop insurances? So look at our lowest paying reimbursables and see what if we just drop those and offer them our membership plan so they become these fee for service patients. But with the membership plan, they are more tethered to the practice, right? Because they're paying for this, they're going to be coming in two times a year. You have two opportunities to see them. I will tell you as a fee for service patient myself, I do not usually go in two times a year. And it's because I'm like, I gotta pay like 300 bucks. But when they have a membership plan,   They don't think like that. They're like, put my cleaning is free. Just like they think of with insurance. So when you're going out of network, really starting to think about all these possibilities of like, all right, what are we going to need to change to be able to drop? So when I have people looking at this, I think about number one, what is the cost to benefit ratio? And if we lost all these patients, let's pretend none of them come, let's go for our worst case scenario, would we be able to sustain? Do I have enough patients to be able to sustain that? And am I willing to do that? Some practices,   Totally, they're good to go. They're like, yes, Kiera, I'm just fine. I can absolutely 1000 % handle this. Other people are like, no, I can't. If I lost all those patients, we would not be able to sustain. So that's the first step before we go out of network. The second step is let's make sure we're prepared to go out of network and handle all those phone calls. And how are we going to save and maintain and retain these patients? Can we get them on membership plans? Third, what are you gonna do about the insurance companies that are calling your patients constantly?   When you out of network, you move into a marketing company. You are constantly striving to keep these patients with you, retain these patients, make sure that they're always there. They're no longer just coming to quote unquote automatically. And so I think about it like, let's run the opportunity cost for when we're going out of network to see, is this something I really want to do? do you want to do this? And I think so many people are like, okay, I'm going to just do this.   we're going to run, we're going to do, and then like, let's maybe do a little bit of prep work. And so there is out of network, like collection verbiage, there is an out of network plan. ⁓ There is all of this. And I just think like, when we go through it, you want to make sure that you are fully prepared financially, mentally, emotionally, as a team, we are locked and loaded and we are good to go. And so if you've looked at those numbers and you're set,   I really want you to think about how you're going to be a marketing company. And so when we look at this, thinking about how can I retain all these people? How can I make sure before I go and drop, like truly before you go and drop insurance, how can I make sure all these patients are going to continue to come back to us? Is it something that we can do of like, can I put into place and start reaching out membership plans? Can we work on our patient experience? Can we make sure like, what's gonna set us apart from the insurance company down the street?   I have a doctor and they are amazing and they are fee for service and they've been fee for service for years. I'm talking like they are so lucky. They've got the Taj Mahal of a practice. It's gorgeous. They've got state of the art technology. Their fees are really not that much higher, but they have like, could you not multiple practices? There's probably 10 around them that are all insurance driven and they're like, but our dentistry should speak for itself. And I'm like, I don't disagree with you, but when times get tighter, things get harder.   People are gonna look at this. guys, I have even, Kiera Dent, who knows dentistry, I have switched. I have a doctor who's fee for service. This is embarrassing. Me as a patient, I'm going to tell you. I have a dentist fee for service. I know they do great dentistry, but they're fee for service. My husband, he's got a great dentist who's got a great hygienist. They're in network with my husband's insurance. I was like, well, I'll just go to them for my cleanings. And if I ever have work that needs to get done, I'll go to the fee for service practice.   Even myself, because I'm just like, well, is it really worth the cost? Like, it's just a cleaning. Like I could just go to the other dentist and you might be like, no cure. But you got to think about the patient. I know you think your dentistry is amazing, but to that patient, a cleaning is a cleaning is a cleaning. Unless they love your hygienist or they love you, they love your front office. They love something about your practice so much that they're willing to pay almost like I pay $300 out of pocket versus insurance. pay $30 a month.   and I get to go have a great cleaning by this amazing hygienist. I also can look at my x-rays, but I think about it, this is where I say you've got to be a marketing company. What's going to make this person continually come to you and choose you every single year when the insurance companies are hitting them, the economy's hitting them, the price is hitting them, and they don't know if your filling is better than the dentist down the street that is closer to them, is in network with them, and they don't need to drive to you. How do you set yourself apart?   So ways that fee for service practice, like I'm telling you, I got the Taj Mahal. They're amazing. They're great. But even then they struggle. And so I think before we decide we wanna drop out of network, I really want you to just make sure, am I committed to being a marketing company? I'm doing the reels. I'm doing the social media. I'm putting like a freaking banner outside. I am asking for reviews and referrals. I'm making sure that we concier all of our patients. We're doing follows with them. Our doctors are giving them a call afterwards. Like I'm talking next level.   So I go to a fee for service chiropractor. She's amazing. She does a nerve and I have actually some like weird nerve things going on. And so I really love her. She's fee for service. But when I have like something that comes up in my life and I message her, it is an above and beyond over the top on her of like, absolutely care. I take care of yourself. I'm going to reappoint you. I'll reschedule you. It is a white glove service when I work with her. And so I'm willing to pay a premium. I also am able to get in on the weekends. If I need something from her, I message her and she's like, yep.   I, she can do house visits for me, but I think you have to realize like when people are paying out of pocket full price, just doing great dentistry is not enough for them. They are expecting great customer service, great experiences. Why should I be paying my money? And sometimes that's not even enough. And you can say, we've got say to the art this, we've got say to the art that. So what this practice we had to do for fever service, they get a tour every single time we walk them through, we have towels for them. We walk them to the front. They have a dedicated treatment coordinator.   There's somebody who's dedicated for phones. We have a dedicated concierge who sits in the front office who brings things for you. That's the welcoming and greeting who sits there and chit chats, who knows every single patient by name. That is the level of concierge service and marketing for these fee for service practices. If you've got competition around you. If you don't, podcast doesn't apply to you. But I think when most people are thinking about going out of network, they're just like, I'm going to go like screw it. Delta Dental, Aetna, I'm so sick of your freaking fees. I'm going to now be paid what I'm worth.   I don't disagree with you. You are worth that. But I also want to make sure that you're fully prepared to be that high level concierge doctor that has to do so much more to retain these patients. I have another doctor who went out of network, literally almost went bankrupt. ⁓ The practice is struggling. They don't have enough patients. They are constantly trying to recruit new patients. They're looking at it and they're looking to rejoin in network because everything is falling apart. Family's falling apart. Life has fallen apart. Profitability has fallen apart.   because they just did not realize how much effort it is to try to bring in new patients on your own. So one way you could look before you even go into it is look at your new patients and see how many new patients are we attracting just by reviews and referrals alone before I go out of network. And if I'm not bringing in a lot of people by reviews and referrals right now as the best dentist, they love me. I've got like this healthy cult following with them. If I don't have that, I might wanna work on that to see what are the patients who are fee for service   Why are they coming here? Ask them, ask people like, you can survey your patient base. Like what would you guys love? Like if you had to pay a little bit more for dentistry, what would it be? Are you more, because they don't know the difference of a great dentist and a not so great dentist. And I think that that's what people don't realize is our dentistry, as much as I wish that it was a differentiator for patients, it's not. They don't know if that filling in that crown is better than the dentist down the street who's in network. They have no idea.   What they're looking at is cost and even a great experience, they still might come down to cost. And I'm not here to say that it's all cost because I believe that people are willing to pay for great experiences. You look at why does Chick-fil-A do better than McDonald's? We look at why is Target oftentimes better than Walmart, but is it really? And who are you? And I don't think all patients come for cost. I think there is a lot of space in today's world to stand out of knowing their name, driving it, but we also have to be careful because   We are facing real people are like, how's the economy and is it impacting dentists? And I'm like, those who are doing regular dentistry, no, it's not. They're great. But those who are outside of that, so we're talking all on X cases, cosmetic cases, fee for service patients. If they don't have a loyal patient base right now, people are considering costs. They are considering what are we going to do? And I know that that's why you are also probably considering fee for service. What about fee for service? What about this? What about that?   those pieces I think are very much needing to be highlighted and addressed of, all right, if the economy is pushing dollars, what can we do to offset that? If I'm needing to increase our fees to offset dollars within our practice for profit margins, what else can we do for this? And I really think for you to look at when you're going out of network to say, is this something I'm willing to do? Is this something our practice is fully equipped with?   Are we getting enough reviews and referrals just by being a great practice today to go out of it? And am I willing to like up my ante, not just being a great dentist, because you dropped that network guys, they're going to like fly away to a practice that does accept them. And like I said, your insurance company is going to try to convince them because they get a lot more money when it goes through an in-network provider than an out-of-network provider. And they're going to, they hustle them. And so for you to just accept that you will be a marketer, you will be constantly looking for patients.   you'll be constantly trying to fill your books and is it something you want to do? And is that an additional piece you want to add to your already big to-do list or is it not? And you might be hearing like, Kiera's pro insurance. I'm not, we have a lot of offices that are out of network, but I will say my out of network ones, every single call, it is always a, do I get more new patients? How do we get patients? Unless you're in a really busy area, I have a few where like them cutting insurance was the best thing they could have done because they just were inundated with patients.   and it was like kind of pruning a tree and they needed to prune. So them dropping insurances strategically, they were okay if they lost every single patient, they would still be able to take care of their entire team. All the people, they even had like a dental office across the street moving. They're like, that's fine, take our patients. Like we are good with that. But I will say, if you are not prepared to do that, I might just add a pause for you before you go out of network. So thinking about going out of network, run your numbers to see, can we survive when we lost all the patients?   Number two, I want you to think about are we prepared to be a marketing company and what do we need to do to make sure people stay? Number three, look at our reviews and see how many of them and our referrals and our new patients, how many are coming from reviews and referrals of people referring us and would they continue to do so? Please like check your ego, pretend you are not this person. Will they continue to do so if you go out of network? Four, what can we proactively do to make patients want to stay here? Can we start adding some of these concierge pieces or is it like, hey, when we go out of network, we add these concierge pieces.   Can we get people more on membership plans? So when we go out of network, it doesn't hurt us as much because they're tethered to our practice already. I would be prepping and preparing you and this is what we do with our offices before they do it. Some offices still choose to go out of network and I say that's fine. But again, every choice has a consequence, whether positive or negative that you need to be aware of to make the best decisions. And I believe better insights, better knowledge result in better decisions.

This week Nicola and Di chat with wanderlust traveler Barry Hoffner. Barry is the author of Amazon’s number 1 adventure travel book, Belonging To The World. In 2017, Barry’s whole world changed when his wife Jackie was in a tragic accident involving an elephant while volunteering in Africa with WildAid. After she passed away, Barry had to remain strong for his 2 sons, yet through his own healing journey, he discovered so much about life, kindness, and connection and it opened his eyes to a new world. Rather than bury his grief, which Barry says can mute the possibility of feeling joy again, his healing journey inspired him to travel to 193 countries - that’s every country on earth! In this episode we hear how Barry’s love of travel was first ignited with a chance back-packing trip to Europe after high school. From that moment, Barry knew he wanted to see the world. He tells us about his career in investment banking, which allowed him to live and work in cities such as Buenos Aires, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore, London, Zurich, Mexico City and Moscow. We also hear the beautiful story of how Barry met his late wife Jackie, and the moment they declared their love for each other outside the Taj Mahal. They went on to have 2 sons and raise a beautiful family, and were just about to enjoy their first trip as empty nesters when tragedy struck and Jackie was killed on a volunteering trip in Africa. Barry describes the moment that he found out, and how his life would never be the same again. Barry’s journey from grief to connection over the last 8 years has been remarkable and he shares so many incredible stories of the amazing moments he’s had in countries so many of us will only dream of visiting. He shares the moment that made his heart beat the most, and we also ask for some of his best travel tips, including where he had the best coffee - you’ll never guess where it was! We also talk to Barry about the empowering charity he set up in 2010 called Caravan to Class. What started as a personal project to help build a school for his 50th birthday in Timbuktu, led to Barry creating a charity that continues to build schools and offer scholarships, in Jackie’s honour, to educate women in West Africa. What’s even more incredible is that 100% of the proceeds from the sales of Barry’s book go to Caravan to Class to continue this important work. We are lucky enough to call Barry a good friend and we were so thrilled to be able to have this conversation with him. He’s such a good storyteller and has so much wisdom to share about what he’s learnt on his travels. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

What does Taj Mahal understand about music… that most artists still miss today?How did his approach to sound end up influencing Bob Marley?What does it actually mean to feel music instead of just hearing it?And what have we lost… now that music has become something we just consume?In this episode, Taj Mahal—five-time Grammy winner and one of the architects of modern Americana—shares a radically different way of thinking about music, connection, and culture.From growing up surrounded by gospel, jazz, and radio… to shaping a sound that would ripple across generations…This is a conversation about music.AND why that matters more than ever.Ben and Zach have been talking about this interview ever since!Taj doesn't just talk about music...he lives it.And somewhere along the way, it made us rethink how we listen… not just to songs, but to everything around us.We hope it does the same for you.If it does—share it with someone who needs to hear it!

https://slasrpodcast.com/      SLASRPodcast@gmail.com  Welcome to Episode 226 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue podcast. This week we're joined by Jim Thorsen, who just returned from an incredible trip that took him from trekking in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal to nearly a month traveling across India—temples, safaris, a sunrise at the Taj Mahal, tea plantations, Kerala backwaters, and the full sensory overload of cities like Delhi and Mumbai. We're also welcoming back our own Stomp, who returns for a special segment on communication in the wilderness—covering how hikers can better prepare, stay connected when things go sideways, and why good communication is often the difference between a minor problem and a full-blown rescue. Plus we've got a bunch of New Hampshire topics including shoulder-season hiking reminders as the weather warms up but winter refuses to leave, the upcoming live show at the Mountain Wanderer, some political drama around the Fryeburg Fair in Maine, a look at how the Common Man welcome centers somehow turned rest stops into a $25-million operation, maple syrup season ramping up across the Granite State, gear talk including a snowshoe sale and waterproofing strategies, a music minute featuring Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins, updates from Dave somewhere down the Appalachian Trail around Neel's Gap, recent hikes, listener shout-outs, and of course a dad joke that probably should have stayed in the notebook.
