Funky Brain with Dennis Berry Coach and Author Dennis Berry recalls being full of fear and insecurity from a very young age. When he took his first drink at fifteen, he felt an immediate weight come off of his shoulders. "I didn't have to feel anything anymore." Over the next fifteen years, Dennis's addiction would progress until his life completely unraveled. One day, after being confronted by his girlfriend, Dennis was finally able to admit that he couldn't stop drinking and using. Two days later, he entered a rehabilitation center. Today Dennis is 18 years sober. He's a Life Mastery Coach whose mission is to help others achieve inner peace and success in every area of their lives.

We live in a world that teaches us to fall in line, to choose the safe, conservative route over being a disruptor. But playing it safe doesn’t facilitate global change. In fact, innovation comes from making trouble and seeing the possibilities in doing things a new way. How, then, do you develop the courage to break through barriers? To risk the isolation that comes with an intense commitment to transformation? A true maverick, Dennis Langlais began his career as a professional BMX Freestyle rider, performing and competing at venues all over the world. He went on to create Perfection on Wheels, a BMX stunt team that did produced events in 10,000 locations worldwide. Dennis recently founded Codie Dog Interactive and the FIVE Minute Bark podcast with the intention of helping grassroots entrepreneurs increase their visibility and achieve next-level peak performance through the relentless pursuit of purpose. Today Dennis joins Emerald to share his take on what a Man on Purpose looks like, discussing his approach to reinventing industries and the qualities necessary to facilitate global transformation. He offers insight around giving yourself permission to be a disruptor, attracting a loyal tribe, and choosing to break through barriers rather than fall in line. He explains how four-year-old Dennis was inspired by the Red Sox and how the relentless pursuit of his goals has driven him ever since. Listen and learn why it’s okay—necessary, even—to back off and go play a round of golf when you hit a wall.

Today Dennis and Joel discuss the Kodi Media Center. They cover what Kodi is, what it does, and how you can use Kodi to cut the cord. This episode covers all the nuances of Kodi and how it is vastly different from a streaming service, and isn't itself a streaming device. Kodi is at it's core is media center software that can aggregate all your content through one interface. Dennis and Joel also go fairly deep into the subject of piracy and how it is hurting Kodi's image. Concerns are also discussed on how you could be pirating movies and TV and not even know it. An official install of Kodi is 100% legal. It’s essentially an extremely robust media player. Kodi, by itself, comes with no video content. That is up to the user to supply. That is also where the legal grey area begins. Here is the link on Grounded Reason Dennis mentions in the episode: What is Kodi and is it Legal? To explore Kodi yourself, check out this fantastic quick start guide on Kodi's website. If interested, you can check out this other guide on Kodi's website on how to use Kodi in a DIY DVR setup. As promised: The Vox Article on the Neural Network that Watched Blade Runner I also want to say that the bit at the end is completely an homage to our favorite podcast.

Dennis Hoyt’s artistic focus and drive are grounded in the “Trompe l’oeuil” (loy) concept.  For over 30 years his definition of ‘art’ has been at odds with the conventional.   His sculptures are both free standing and wall mounted and depict an automotive theme of motion and color.  His sculptures are constructed of hand carved wood that focused on abstract presentations of formal shapes.  These pieces developed into large-scale works using wood as the primary medium.  The techniques he developed have brought him international acclaim.  His work has garnered over 60 articles and many awards including the Peter Helck Award, 5 Athena Awards of Excellence, The Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance 'Most Elegant Artwork Award, and he was the 1st recipient of the Raymond E. Holland award for Vision and Creativity.  Today Dennis tends to focus more on how much he can ‘push the envelope.
