Podcasts about Taste

Our guest this week hails from Harlem, Georgia. Ray Fulcher is one of Nashville's most sought-after modern country songwriters. He first broke through co-writing a string of chart-topping hits for Luke Combs – including the multi-platinum "When It Rains It Pours" – before stepping into the spotlight with his own recordings on his 2022 debut album, 'Spray Painted Line.' Fulcher has toured extensively, sharing stages with Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde, and Matt Stell, and his songs have been streamed hundreds of millions of times across platforms. He has written for artists like Riley Green and Cody Johnson, including Johnson's recent hit "The Fall." 'Billboard' highlights his "unmistakable narrative grit," while Holler celebrates his "clean-cut melodies and lived-in honesty." Taste of Country notes his "ability to turn small-town details into widescreen emotion." I caught up with him recently on The Working Songwriter to hear about his musical journey so far.   Interested in sponsoring us? Contact BGS: https://bit.ly/sponsorBGSpods

Construction leaders are being told—daily—that AI, automation, dashboards, and optimization are the future. But what if the very things we're rushing to automate are the things that actually make leadership work?   In this episode, Bradley Hartmann explores a surprising case study: the resurgence of Barnes & Noble, a 140-year-old, paper-and-ink business thriving in the age of AI and Amazon.   Using the Barnes & Noble turnaround as a lens, this episode breaks down two leadership capabilities AI will never replicate—and why they matter more than ever in construction:   Being a genuine fan of the work, the customer, and the people doing the work Taste and human judgment—knowing what matters, what doesn't, and when timing matters more than data.     This isn't a story about books.   It's a story about leadership, accountability, and change in old, complex industries—just like construction.   This episode will help you:   Identify where your organization may be over-centralized or over-optimized Reclaim leadership leverage that no software can replace Make better decisions about what to abandon, not just what to add Lead change without losing trust, judgment, or accountability   You'll walk away with a clearer lens on what great construction leadership actually requires in the age of AI.   If Barnes & Noble can come back by falling back in love with books, imagine what could happen in construction if leaders fell back in love with building—and the people who make it happen.   https://www.honest-broker.com/p/what-can-we-learn-from-barnes-and   https://substack.com/@tedgioia   At Bradley Hartmann & Company, we help construction teams improve sales, leadership,  and communication by reducing miscommunication, strengthening teamwork, and bridging language gaps between English and Spanish speakers.

In “Trade, Taste, and the Evolving Tale of Texas Whiskey,” Gravy reporter Evan Stern visits the Lone Star State to get a taste of a growing movement: Texas whiskey. Given the importance of saloons in cowboy culture and western mythology, one might think Texas whiskey has a long and storied history. But though Texans have always had a fondness for the demon drink, as a legal industry, Texas whiskey is barely even twenty years old. Despite this youth, however, its growth has been explosive. While as recently as 2010, the state claimed a mere two whiskey distilleries, that number now hovers around sixty and is growing. Yet as makers like Still Austin, Balcones, and Garrison Brothers have garnered awards and drawn national attention, its identity is still being discovered and remains challenging to define. In an increasingly saturated market, one also can't help but wonder: Is Texas whiskey on the cusp of something big, or will it bust? Through visits to two “grain to glass” distilleries, Stern learns of the industry's origins from Dan Garrison. The first licensed whiskey maker in modern Texas, Garrison tells of the challenges he faced aging bourbon in the torrid Hill Country and how his process has matured since his days as an early pioneer. Gravy also hears about the challenges regional distillers have faced in distinguishing their brands in a saturated market from sommelier Daniel Whittington, while Kentucky-based spirits author Fred Minnick argues that Texans' openness to experimentation has helped shift the flavor narrative of American whiskey. Illustrating this is John Evans who, in a move that could be considered unorthodox, has chosen to use oats in a mash bill he developed himself. A fifth-generation farmer, he opened Wilson Valley Mercantile on his family's historic property after thinking: “Why not make corn worth more by selling it as whiskey?” Featuring spirits distilled from grains raised entirely onsite, he shares his journey as an independent upstart.  In these conversations, Gravy asks questions about process and flavor, while exploring how Texas's emergence reflects the American craft movement and pondering what its future could mean for the drinking world as a whole.

When we think about dialing-in, we automatically think about coffee. Changing the grind, the recipe, and other inputs and variables all to obtain an ideal outcome. Your coffee shop is not just about coffee though, and that means that other areas of the cafe need to be dialed in in order for the product of the cafe experience to be great.  On today's episode, we will be talking about the three areas of product, people, and place and how you can think about and take action to dial in each one effectively. Now is the time in our history as an industry to start truly finessing the details of what we offer in our shops so we can slowly start rebuilding the coffee bar's reputation as a great good place, a spot for consistently excellent coffee, a spot that you love serving in and love to be served in. It all starts with dialing-in.  Related episodes:    Taste the Rainbow! : Menu knowledge, tasting, flavor, coffee cupping approach to your offerings SHIFT BREAK!

Alternative meat looks like it is collapsing. Startups are shutting down, funding is drying up, and headlines are calling the category finished, but that reaction may reflect a misunderstanding of how technological revolutions actually unfold. Bruce Friedrich, President of the Good Food Institute and author of Meat: How the Next Agricultural Revolution Will Transform Humanity's Favorite Food and Our Future, explains why most people will not change behavior for values alone, why price and taste are the real adoption gates, and why "only" $3 billion in cultivated meat funding is far smaller than it sounds when spread across years and companies. Paul and Bruce discuss what it will take to reach taste and price parity, why governments increasingly view alternative protein as food security and national security infrastructure, and why today's failures can be a normal feature of early-stage category formation rather than proof the model will not work. You will leave with a clearer, more evidence-driven view of what is happening now and what progress actually looks like. Things You Will Learn: How taste and price parity shape S-curve adoption in food, regardless of ethics or intent Why $3B in cultivated meat investment may be insufficient relative to comparable industrial innovation cycles How food security, geopolitical risk, and economic competitiveness are driving government interest in alternative protein Tools & Frameworks Covered: S-Curve Adoption – helps evaluate whether setbacks are normal in scaling technologies Eliminating the Green Premium – helps frame what it takes for sustainable products to win at mass-market scale B2B Enablement Strategy – helps identify leverage points that unlock category-wide progress   #BusinessForGood #SustainableBusiness #FutureOfFood #AlternativeProtein #PrecisionFermentation

In this episode of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill is joined by two badass women making waves in Nashville's country music scene — Aniston Pate and Delaney Ramsdell. Hailing from Texas and bonded by their roots and realness, these artists break down the mission behind their collaborative movement Texas Too, a showcase that spotlights and supports women from the Lone Star State now making music in Music City. They share their journeys to Nashville, their artistic growth, and how they've leaned on each other in a business that isn't always easy for women to navigate. From laughs about first impressions to serious takes on what needs to change in the industry, this conversation shines a light on two rising voices who are building community, embracing independence, and championing women in country music — one Texas-style banger at a time.

Last summer, I got invited to be on TV. Exciting, right? Then they asked a simple follow-up question: "Can you send over your media kit?" And I froze. I didn't have one. I wasn't even totally sure what should be in one. Fast forward to this winter, as I start doing more speaking, partnerships, and visibility work for both my farm and My Digital Farmer -- I realized this was a gap I needed to close. So I invited someone back on the show who lives and breathes this stuff. On today's episode, I'm joined again by Erika Tebbens from Taste the Local Difference. If Erika sounds familiar, she was previously on the podcast in Episode 322, where we talked about collaborations as a powerful farm marketing strategy. This time, we're diving into something just as practical -- and often overlooked:

This episode delves into the profound journey of personal reinvention, exemplified by Emmanuel Laroche's transformative experiences in Madagascar. What began as a professional endeavor in the realm of food ingredients and marketing evolved into a deeper exploration of identity, creativity, and purpose, culminating in his new book, "A Taste of Madagascar." Through his travels, Emmanuel discovered the rich tapestry of human connection, tradition, and craftsmanship that inform culinary practices—elements often overshadowed by marketing metrics. He shares insights into the lives of farmers and artisans, revealing the intricate processes behind the ingredients that grace our kitchens. This discussion highlights the duality of professional life and creative expression, underscoring the importance of curiosity and engagement in understanding our world and the stories that shape us.Takeaways:Life transitions can emerge not solely from crises but also through unexpected experiences, such as discovering new flavors that challenge our perspectives.Traveling for professional purposes can transform into profound personal journeys that redefine our understanding of work and creativity.The journey to Madagascar revealed the intricate relationship between tradition, craftsmanship, and the human connections inherent in food production.Writing a book that intertwines culinary culture, anthropology, and personal stories can illuminate the often-overlooked voices of farmers and artisans in the global food narrative.Engaging with local communities while traveling enriches our understanding of the cultural significance behind the ingredients we often take for granted.It is imperative to remain curious and open-minded, as this curiosity fosters deeper connections with the people and places we encounter on our journeys.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

For decades, the biggest barrier to building a SaaS company was technical talent. You needed a team of engineers to ship a world-class product. David Okuniev, Co-Founder of Typeform, believes that era is over. In this episode of the ProductLed 100 series, Wes Bush sits down with David Okuniev (Founder of Float) and Esben Friis-Jensen (Co-Founder of Userflow) to discuss why "Taste" is the only defensible moat left in the age of AI. David reveals how he is building his new venture, Supercut, by literally talking to Claude Code through a microphone - building full iOS apps in days without knowing Swift. He argues that since AI has commoditized the "How" of building software, the "What" and "Why" (Design and Taste) matter more than ever. They also explore why this shift allows for a "Minimum Viable Team" of just three people, why David regrets scaling Typeform into a large organization, and how to survive as a "Pioneer" founder without getting bogged down by professional management. Key Highlights: 01:21: The "Accidental" Origin: How a client project for a toilet showroom in Barcelona turned into Typeform.03:51: The Viral Launch: Generating 8,000 pre-signups and achieving immediate viral growth without traditional validation.09:53: The Taste Differentiator: Why design is the only way to distinguish yourself 13:00: The "Impulsive" Archetype: David's approach to building products based on intuition rather than validation.21:41: The "Professional CEO" Trap: Why David regrets stepping down and why founders should stay in the driver's seat.37:42: The Float Labs Model: How David runs a product lab to spin out new companies (like Supercut).42:09: The Minimum Viable Team: Why the modern startup only needs a Designer, a Tech Lead, and a Marketer.44:53: The "Tastemaker" Advice: You don't need to be a designer; you just need to be opinionated.

What do trailers, legendary movie posters, streaming era strategy, and a deep love for theatrical storytelling have in common? This week on Trailer Geeks & Teaser Gods, Corey is joined by Debi Struzan and Dana Flowers-Mitchell for a deeply personal conversation about careers shaped by creativity, collaboration, and conviction. From Debi's early days at Seiniger Advertising and her connection to the iconic Drew Struzan legacy, to Dana's journey from agency producer to studio and streaming executive, the conversation traces how great entertainment marketing is built at the intersection of story, trust, and human connection. Together, Debi and Dana reflect on mentorship, studio versus agency life, the evolution of theatrical and streaming windows, and what still matters most when crafting campaigns that resonate. Along the way, the discussion touches on everything from horror trailers and prestige dramas to boxing workouts, late night calls, and why picking up the phone still matters. Key Takeaways From Agency to Studio and Back Again Both guests share how starting on the agency side shaped the way they later partnered with creative teams once they moved into studio and streaming roles, fostering deeper empathy and stronger collaboration. The Legacy of Drew Struzan Debi reflects on the influence of her father-in-law, legendary illustrator Drew Struzan, and the enduring impact of handcrafted movie poster art in a rapidly changing industry. Why Relationships Still Win Dana and Debi emphasize that despite new tools, platforms, and pressures, strong relationships and direct communication remain essential to solving creative problems and building trust. Theatrical Is Not Dead The conversation challenges the idea that movie theaters are fading, pointing instead to evolving audience behaviors and the continued power of shared cinematic experiences. Creativity in an Era of Change From AI anxiety to shrinking budgets, the discussion explores how agencies and creatives can adapt while protecting the core value of original ideas and emotional storytelling. Notable Quotes "People still want to be moved together in a room. Theatrical is not dying. It's evolving." "You can solve a lot of problems just by picking up the phone." "The big idea still matters. Tools can change, but concept is everything."

Like varied threads that traverse a weaving, these five themes appear time and again in the Psalms.

Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard welcome Eben Herbert from the New Zealand Hunter Exchange to compare notes on waterfowling half a world apart—what shocked him about the Suisun Marsh, why California's public access and species variety feel endless, and how late-season calling here differs from New Zealand's “call hard, break 'em from the sky” approach. We hit rice country pits (illegal back home), foggy boat rides to island blinds, a tough-but-worth-it California quail mission, and even a little crab-and-rockfish bounty from Bodega Bay.Episode highlightsScale & access: the density of clubs and marsh across Suisun vs. the smaller, scattered options in NZ—plus why CA birds have “a hundred places to go.”Calling culture: aggressive hail-calling to pull distant flocks in NZ vs. whistles and lighter calling for pressured late-season birds in CA.Pit blinds & rice: first time hunting California rice; why true pit blinds are illegal in New Zealand.Fog, flood & plan B: how tule fog and high water forced mid-morning moves—and still produced solid straps.Taste test: why California ducks eat milder (hello, rice fat) than NZ birds on invertebrate-heavy diets.Checklist species: pintail, wigeon, teal, a Ross's goose, and the ongoing quests for mallard and speck before wheels up.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in blessings. Breathe out praise. Isn't it hard holding your breath? 

In this episode, I sit down with drummer David Northrup for a deep and wide-ranging conversation about groove, longevity, and serving the song. David has built an incredible career by doing precisely that, whether he's playing traditional country, blues, soul, or roots-based music. We start by talking about his current work with Joe Nichols, why it's such a musical and personal fit, and what it means to work for an artist who values authenticity, consistency, and real country music. David shares stories from the road and explains why being a good human is just as important as being a great drummer.We spend time digging into David's early musical influences growing up in central New York, where constant exposure to Motown, singer-songwriter records, pop radio, and classic albums shaped his musical instincts. David talks about learning by listening, studying album credits, and developing a deep appreciation for feel and style long before social media or online tutorials existed. He reflects on how that environment taught him to truly listen, absorb, and respect the music rather than chase trends.David walks through his path to becoming a professional drummer, from starting in school band programs to a pivotal moment when he saw Chuck Mangione perform while in college. That experience helped him realize music was the path he needed to take seriously. We talk about the importance of mentors, including teachers who challenged him when he wasn't ready and supported him when he was, and how discipline, fundamentals, and humility played a massive role in his development.We dive deep into David's years in Nashville, including his first five years building connections, studio work, and eventually landing his long-running gig with Travis Tritt. David explains how Nashville truly is a five-year town, why patience matters, and how preparation and professionalism keep you working once you get the call. We also talk about his deep admiration for drummers like Carlos Vega, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Jordan, Russ Kunkel, and others, and why groove, taste, and feel will always matter more than flash.A significant highlight of the conversation is David's time touring with Boz Scaggs. He shares what it was like to step into such an iconic musical legacy, learn to play with conviction at very low volumes, and work alongside world-class musicians night after night. We talk about why playing the room matters, how restraint can be more complicated than power, and why those lessons apply to every drummer at every level.We also spend time talking about David's solo record Shapes, including how it came together over many years, the musicians involved, and why recording live, organic performances was central to the album's sound. David explains his philosophy of making music that's groove-focused, accessible, and enjoyable for listeners beyond just musicians. We close by discussing teaching, clinics, the importance of shuffle feel, regional time concepts, and the soft skills that help musicians not just get gigs but keep them. It's an honest, thoughtful conversation packed with wisdom for musicians and music lovers alike.To learn more about David, visit his website.

Trump is back from Davos and wasting zero time shaking things up. In this episode, we break down Trump calling out Ilhan Omar's finances, joking (again) about a fourth term, and launching major legal battles — including lawsuits tied to Newsom's gerrymandered map and JPMorgan.We also cover the U.S. officially exiting the World Health Organization, Marco Rubio's new role tied to World Expo 2035, and economists giving Trump unexpected credit for a booming economy.Things heat up in Minnesota as Pam Bondi announces arrests, liberal activists melt down on TikTok, and Mayor Frey demands protesters be released. Meanwhile, Don Lemon taunts law enforcement, JD Vance sets the media straight on ICE, and false stories from AP and other outlets get completely debunked.Plus:• Jack Smith hearing chaos • Viral media roasts & protest fails• Michelle Obama mocks herself on a podcast• Miss Rachel controversy explodes online• Candace Owens vs TPUSASUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!Lose meaningful weight healthily with LEAN—get 20% off at https://TakeLean.com using code CHICKS.Head to https://MarleySpoon.com/offer/Chicks for up to 45% OFF + free shipping with Marley Spoon this New Year!Visit https://ChicksloveOliveOil.com and get a full-size $39 bottle of fresh-pressed olive oil for just $1 shipping—no commitment!

the crew breaks down the conversation surrounding a new Mexican-American film and what it means for Latino representation in Hollywood. We talk honestly about acting standards, influencer casting, and whether supporting culture also means being allowed to critique it.The conversation expands into Super Bowl predictions, sports rivalries going too far, Bad Bunny's cultural impact, and how internet outrage often misses the bigger picture. As always, we balance humor with real perspective, audience interaction, and unfiltered opinions. Sign up for Robinhood with my link and we'll both pick our own gift stock

#037 Rebroadcast It's the lesson we've all had to learn the hard way. The pain our mouths feel when we take a treacherous swig of the post-brush poison. This week, Melissa and Jam delve into all of our childhoods to figure out the chemistry of this infamous mixture. Why does it taste so bad? Who's fault is it, the toothpaste or the orange juice? Also while we're at it, why is it called toothpaste? Nevermind, I'm not sure we'll be able to get to the bottom of that part.

How can we be sure that we're not living in the Upside Down? A lot of evidence suggests things aren't as they should be. Stephen A Smith is considering a run for President. A gay porn show is the most-talked about Hockey program on TV. And semen freaks are treating changerooms like it's the Roosevelt administration. But worry not, faithful roaches! I have indisputable proof that we are not living in the Upside Down: The Bills keep doing Bills things. And I still believe in them. They are nothing if not a sign of reliability in troubling times.

In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Chase Fisher, founder of Blenders Eyewear, for one of the most honest and energizing conversations we've had on the show. This episode challenges the grind narrative of entrepreneurship and explores a powerful but often dismissed truth. Fun is not fluff. Fun is leverage.From selling sunglasses out of a backpack to building a globally recognized lifestyle brand, Chase shares what actually mattered in the early days. Taste. Courage. Consistent action. And staying playful even when the stakes got heavy. This conversation is about building something real without losing yourself in the process.Timestamps00:00 – 03:45The question no one in business wants to askIs fun a distraction or a competitive advantage?03:46 – 09:20Backpack beginningsSelling sunglasses hand to hand and learning human psychology09:21 – 14:50Lifestyle before logosWhy Blenders was never just an eyewear company14:51 – 21:30Affordability as a weaponHow accessibility outperformed traditional luxury thinking21:31 – 28:10Fear, cash flow, and early pressureThe moments that almost broke the brand28:11 – 34:40Social media and bold executionHow the internet leveled the playing field34:41 – 41:20Partnerships and culture fitWhy alignment matters more than reach41:21 – 47:50Leadership under pressureHiring, firing, and learning to build teams47:51 – 54:30Systems without killing the soulScaling structure while protecting playfulness54:31 – 59:45Identity shifts and personal growthLetting go of ego to lead better59:46 – 1:05:30Failure as feedbackThe lessons that shaped Blenders' evolution1:05:31 – 1:11:00Advice for founders todayWhat Chase would double down on if he started againStandout Quotes• “I didn't start Blenders to build a massive company. I started it to solve a problem I personally had.”• “Fun isn't the opposite of discipline. It's often the fuel for it.”• “Selling sunglasses out of a backpack taught me more than any classroom ever could.”• “Brand is how people feel when they think about you.”• “You can't scale chaos forever, but you also can't kill the soul of what made you start.”• “Failure didn't stop us.
