In this episode of The Big Bass Podcast, we have a special guest, Keith Thomas of Black Talon Custom Lures. Keith is a bait maker from Pennsylvania, but that isn't what makes him special. He's actually a swimbait maker who got into the swimbait scene before there was such a thing. Thomas started venturing into big baits in the mid-1980s when he was 15 years old. Keith and his buddy were striper fishermen and were familiar with big lures. But they also fished freshwater bass at the local lakes. After seeing big fish eat gizzard shad and ignore their Mann's Jelly Worms, they got the idea to start throwing big saltwater and muskie lures for largemouth. It worked. With no lures on the market that would mimic a gizzard shad, Keith took to carving his own baits in the early 1990s. This led him to be the first swimbait maker outside of the West. Over his 30-plus years of making baits, Keith has become one of the premier bait makers, especially when it comes to glide baits. We hope you enjoy listening to Keith's story. I know we learned a lot. To buy Keith's highly realistic baits, you can find him on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/703173099700495 For more of The Big Bass Podcast, look for us here: Website: https://www.thebigbasspodcast.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thebigbasspodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebigbasspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebigbasspodcast Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bigbasspodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-big-bass-podcast/message

Building generational wealth is not just about financial gain; it's about breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a legacy for future generations.  This week on The Abundant Living Podcast, we sat down with Michael Thomas to discuss his new book, “Black Financial Culture: Building Wealth From The Inside Out”. Michael G. Thomas Jr., Ph.D., is an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®), a lecturer at the University of Georgia, and the founder of Modom Solutions - a virtual financial coaching service. His research focuses on financial empathy and self-compassion, data visualization's effects on financial behavior, and the connection between brain function and money.  His Ted Talk: Financial Empathy: Understanding the Story Beneath the Numbers, summarizes his philosophy on effectively interacting with money. By utilizing financial empathy as a process for active listening, Dr. Thomas is helping black families create sustainable wealth by first navigating healing and forgiveness.

Under the new leadership team led by General President Sean M. O'Brien, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters are re-introducing themselves to the bosses and to the world as a fighting union, and they are gearing up for their biggest test yet: the impending negotiations of the IBT's contract with United Parcel Service (UPS). With UPS employing over 350,000 Teamster members around the country, theirs is the largest collective bargaining agreement in North America—and the current contract is set to expire on July 31. With national negotiations set to begin this month, Teamsters leaders are traveling to union locals around the country, mobilizing their members, and preparing UPS workers for a strike if a new contract is not reached on time. We attended an April 2 rally at Teamsters Local 25 in Boston (O'Brien's old local) and spoke with folks on the ground about this new era for the Teamsters and what's at stake in the UPS contract fight.  Episode includes interviews with and speeches from: Thomas Mari (Teamsters), Jane Fallon (Teamsters), Rob Atkinson (Teamsters), JJ Rodriguez (Teamsters), Fred Zuckerman (Teamsters), Julie (Workers United), and Sean M. O'Brien (Teamsters).  Additional links/info below...

With shortages at the grocery store and not enough people willing to work, 2022 is starting to look a lot like 2020. But beneath the ugly exterior, the world's economies have learned to cope with Covid's fallout, and the supply chain debacle in particular. One country is even thriving.  In the first episode of the new year, we offer two fairly optimistic assessments. Bloomberg Senior Editor Brendan Murray shares with Stephanie Flanders how companies are adapting to the fast-spreading omicron variant and finding ways to function as more workers fall ill. He also explains that the success of China's zero tolerance policy may determine the length of the supply chain crisis. We then travel to Mexico and the Chihuahuan Desert, where U.S. companies can't build factories fast enough. Tired of backups at Los Angeles-area ports and no-shows by American workers, manufacturers are moving production to the booming border town of Ciudad Juarez, Bloomberg manufacturing reporter Thomas Black reports, in a pandemic victory for Mexico's economy.  Finally, Tokyo-based economics reporter Yoshiaki Nohara brings us a dispatch about the side effects of moving toward a greener future. Japan's leadership is trying develop its renewable energy industry by putting offshore wind farms near places like Iki island, off Japan's southwestern coast. But fishermen worry the noise and radio waves will drive away all the fish and cripple their industry. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
