Podcast appearances and mentions of Troy Johnson

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Troy Johnson, founder and partner at Resource Development Group, LLC, about the deep history and modern implications of mining. From the earliest days of salt extraction to the role of rare earth metals in global geopolitics, the conversation covers how mining has shaped technology, warfare, and supply chains. They discuss the strategic importance of minerals like gallium and germanium, the rise of drone warfare, and the ongoing battle for resource dominance between China and the West.

Over time, mining evolved from a necessity for tools and pigments to a strategic industry powering economies and military advancements. This deep historical perspective highlights how mining has always been a fundamental pillar of technological and societal progress.The geopolitical importance of critical minerals – Modern warfare and advanced technology rely heavily on strategic metals like gallium, germanium, and antimony. These elements are essential for electronic warfare, radar systems, night vision devices, and missile guidance. The Chinese government, recognizing this decades ago, secured global mining and processing dominance, putting Western nations in a vulnerable position as they scramble to reestablish domestic supply chains.The rise of drone warfare and EMP defense systems – Military strategy is shifting toward drone swarms, where thousands of small, cheap, AI-powered drones can overwhelm traditional defense systems. This has led to the development of countermeasures like EMP-based defense systems, including the Leonidas program, which uses gallium nitride to disable enemy electronics. This new battlefield dynamic underscores the urgent need for securing critical mineral supplies to maintain technological superiority.China's long-term strategy in resource dominance – Unlike Western nations, where election cycles dictate short-term decision-making, China has played the long game in securing mineral resources. Through initiatives like the Belt and Road, they have locked down raw materials while perfecting the refining process, making them indispensable to global supply chains. Their recent export bans on gallium and germanium show how resource control can be weaponized for geopolitical leverage.Ethical mining and the future of clean extraction – Mining has long been associated with environmental destruction and poor labor conditions, but advances in technology and corporate responsibility are changing that. Major mining companies are now prioritizing ethical sourcing, reducing emissions, and improving worker safety. Blockchain-based tracking systems are also helping verify supply chain integrity, ensuring that materials come from environmentally and socially responsible sources.The vulnerability of supply chains and the need for resilience – The West's reliance on outsourced mineral processing has created significant weaknesses in national security. A disruption—whether through trade restrictions, political instability, or sabotage—can cripple industries dependent on rare materials. A key takeaway is the need for a “bulletproof supply chain,” where critical materials are sourced, processed, and manufactured within allied nations to mitigate risk.AI, decentralization, and the next era of industrial warfare – As AI becomes more embedded in military decision-making and logistics, the balance between centralization and decentralization is being redefined. AI-driven drones, automated mining, and predictive supply chain management are reshaping how nations prepare for conflict. However, this also introduces risks, as AI operates within unpredictable “black boxes,” potentially leading to unintended consequences in warfare and resource management.

Ryan asked me to write this intro myself since my writing gets credit and blame for a lot of things in my life. I was born and raised in San Diego, the city often written off as the souvenir cup of California. When my writing career managed not to flop and I landed a gig on Food Network, every agent or manager much smarter than me said the same thing. “If you wanna have a shot, you've got to move to New York.” Probably great advice. But I politely declined each time because if every creative person who had ambition moved away to “make it,” San Diego would just be a cultural wasteland, a resort with a city on it. What if some of us stayed and helped build a culture—told the stories of its people and the work being done? So in 2021 my wife and I decided to become the new owners of a 75 year-old, beloved media company, San Diego Magazine, and got to work transforming it into a modern media thing. It was a total rebuild, coming out of a global pandemic. The week we signed the papers, our son was born. We launched a massive festival. We launched a creative studio for brands. We micro-napped. Now? Thank all the gods, it's growing. This is our story.

If you received this month's San Diego Magazine, you already know about Warung RieRie. Happy Half Hour host and food critic Troy Johnson dubbed it “the star of the city's thrilling backyard restaurant scene.” Wait. There's a thrilling backyard restaurant scene in San Diego? Indeed, there is, and the individual restaurants are formally dubbed MEHKOs—Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations. We had Chef Rie Sims and her right hand—husband, sous chef, host, and marketing manager Dave Sims—in to talk about their Sumatran hut that they transported via Bali to their Serra Mesa backyard. In that hut is Warung RieRie, a fine dining restaurant operated out of their home kitchen. “For chefs like Rie, MEHKOs are a way in, or just a different way,” writes Johnson in this month's review. “Few people can afford to open a restaurant, which can run (at the very lowest end) tens of thousands to millions of dollars and lock dreamers into long-term leases. In 2013, California implemented the Homemade Food Act, allowing anyone to make and sell low-risk foods (granola, jam, the like) out of their homes. Hot meals were a no-go, deemed too dangerous.” “But on Jan. 1, 2019, AB 626 allowed cooks in California to run restaurants out of their homes, serving all but the most notorious get-sick foods (like oysters and tartare). The new restaurants were called MEHKOs.” With a year-long waitlist, Warung RieRie is undoubtedly the city's most famous backyard joint. We hear about the couple's movie-worthy love story, their journey from Bali to the US, Rie's former career as one of the most prominent film directors in Indonesia, and that time she cooked traditional Indonesian food for the Indonesian Prime Minister. As for news, we discuss LA-based Brewjeria Company opening in Chula Vista; Padres will re-debut their “Clara” beer at Petco Park; and Vega Caffe will open just next to the park, as well.

In case you haven't noticed, we just debuted our first-ever issue dedicated to all things South Bay. On February 25, we are also holding our first Taste of South Bay food and drink extravaganza at Novo Brazil Brewing in Imperial Beach. In conjunction with that, we're also asking various South Bay food folks to come on to the HHH podcast to talk about all things south of the border…of the city of San Diego, that is. This week, we asked to chat with Jose Barajas, a television chef and the owner of Mmm…Cakes, a Golden Girls-themed bakery and coffee spot on Chula Vista's Third Avenue, near F Street. It opened in 2021 after a huge Covid derailment, a familiar tale—it was originally supposed to open in March or April 2020. And all of that after 15 years of baking in his home studio, as well as other area hotels and bakeries, culinary production teams, and on camera on several Food Network and TLC shows, like The Next Great Baker and Gingerbread Showdown. Mmm…Cakes' decor is over-the-top, as one would expect from a Golden Girls-laden cake shop. It's tropical, decadent, and loud, and it's even got a vintage Tiffany lamp (Barajas told me he bought it on Amazon for a steal). “You know,” he says in the episode. “It's gotta be good for the ‘gram!” We talk about his various inspirations and just how much damn fun it is to hang out there. Readers of the magazine can also get a peek at our host Troy Johnson's food feature this month, which shows a few gorgeous images of the space and Barajas' confectionary creations. Barajas shares his humble beginnings cooking at home with his mom, who decorated cakes. “I started off young, not so much cake decorating, but just cooking. Then my mom started working, and she said, “You're helping me, so that was that.” He says he took to it because he wasn't such a great student, but he was super into his art classes. It stuck. When he eventually started working as a dishwasher in a sushi kitchen, moving up the ranks to eventually start training as a sushi chef, he found out he had been accepted to culinary school. One baking class later, and the rest is history—Barajas is a cake guy now. We also chat about his long television career, during which he thrived on camera but especially in production, owing to his recipe he developed while at culinary school and then in his own professional kitchen. He also talks about some of his favorite spots in South Bay, and marvels at how far downtown Chula Vista has come. In food news, Tara Monsod of Animae was nominated for a James Beard award. She's a semifinalist for Best Chef California and is San Diego's only nominee, and Tacos El Franc is coming to National City. Earlier this week, we broke the news that the famed Tijuana taco spot will open its first U.S. location at the Westfield Plaza Bonita mall this summer, replacing Funky Fries & Burgers (we'll call that an upgrade); CH Projects opened LouLou's at The LaFayette Hotel and temporarily closed the beloved Starlite for renovations; downtown's Lavo shutters after just over a year in the former Searsucker location; and a food website called “LoveFood” named Smoking Goat's fries the best in California. We then discuss the merits of truffle fries. Thanks for tuning in. See you next week!

Avid HHH listeners will remember a few episodes back, when we announced that Ramen World, celebrity chef Lauren Lawless' first restaurant, would open somewhere in San Diego. That opening is imminent, and so we decided to have the cooking show star and Pacific Beach native in to tell us what's up. Ramen World's opening is notable for a few reasons, but mostly that it's the country's first serve-your-own ramen joint. The model is otherwise popular in Japan and Korea, Lawless told us during the episode. This San Diego location will be the planned chain's first location, and then she hopes to expand throughout California and to Arizona and eventually the east coast, she also explained. We wondered aloud what the experience would be like: Will there be chefs cheffing the steaming bowls right in front of our faces? Will it be gluten-friendly? How will it be priced, by weight or by ingredient, like with serve-your-own fro-yo? She shared some special details: yes, it will be gluten-friendly; there will also be packaged ramen noodles, as well as a machine cutting and serving fresh noodles for those who'd like an upgrade. She's still working on the pricing, but thinks it'll be somewhere in the fro-yo pricing universe. We also get to know Lawless on a personal level, too. She shares stories of the tragic death of her parents and sister, her emancipation from her family while she was still a teenager, how she overcame trauma and abuse (and how cooking played a huge role in that), and how she was working a ho-hum sales desk job when she decided to take a shot at a cooking show audition that eventually changed her life. Lawless has an engaging and warm personality, and she leads with obvious confidence, which is infectious to be around. We hope you feel it through the airwaves, and are similarly inspired about her story cooking her way up through the television ranks, which is where she first met our co-host, Troy Johnson. We also talked the news: RoseAcre, a new multi-experience, design-forward restaurant from Paul Basile and Jules Wilson has broken ground on Girard Street in La Jolla; OB's The Joint spun off a new ramen spot called The Bowl on Newport Ave; and Spanish and California tapas and wine bar Finca will open on Grim Street in North Park by crew formerly of Juniper + Ivy.

"I'd be absolutely lying to you if I told you I'd ever practiced what happened yesterday." A superb piece of fielding has made Troy Johnson of the Wellington Firebirds an overnight internet sensation. He leapt over the boundary rope, and tossed the ball back to Nick Kelly for an unbelievable wicket. He spoke to Jason Pine on Weekend Sport.

When your boss tells you to do something, you do it. When your boss is Troy Johnson, food critic and Chief Content Officer of San Diego Magazine, texting you: “I just left Tunaville. He's doing amazing stuff. Get Tommy on the podcast,” well, you get Tommy Gomes on the Happy Half Hour podcast. Gomes, a commercial fisherman by trade and blood, is no stranger to the airwaves and pages of SDM. He's been a guest on the pod a few times before, and we've written about him glowingly because of the work he's doing to improve San Diego's fisheries and the shopping options for the people who eat from them. These days, Gomes runs TunaVille, a seafood shop at Driscoll's Wharf in San Diego Harbor that serves local, only. It opened last May. The fish is caught by residents on city boats, and is delivered 10 feet away to the storefront. “It never sees the back of a truck, our fish,” Gomes says in the episode. Tunaville is a partnership with another fisherman and local seafood icon, Mitch Conniff of Mitch's Seafood, and a handful of other local fishing families who have bought in. Restaurants like Herb & Wood, Solare, and Juan Jasper, for example, are clients, sourcing their treats from the sea from Gomes. Gomes is also tinkering with different fish preparations, some of which we sample on air. He's experimenting with dry aging tuna—traditions popular in Japan and Spain, for example—and he brought in everything from a gorgeous 15-week aged bluefin slab to mojama, a cured tuna muscle not unlike Jamón Ibérico. It can be found mainly on tables in bars in Southern Spain, and not many places else. Except for TunaVille. While he's doing all this, Gomes also has a top-rated show on Outdoor Channel, aptly called The Fishmonger. In it, he travels around the country telling the stories of fishing families and their plights of declining stocks, closed fisheries, tough regulations, and other woes of a struggling American industry. We talk about all of this and other issues with sustainability and greenwashing in this episode. We also get into some news: Troy and I discussed our end-of-2023 articles detailing the best new restaurants in San Diego and dining trends we saw last year, some of which we expect to continue into next year (inflation, omakase-everything, more actually-good Italian restaurants, bakeries); cake donut wizards Sidecar Donuts will be opening a new spot on Kettner Boulevard in Little Italy; and Food Network star Lauren Lawless will be opening Ramen World, a serve-your-own spot somewhere in Mid-City.

Dave began to understand the process of writing was an experience he was addicted to. We learn about listening and investing in the solitude of the present moment and tapping into the ether – and how he brings others with him. We talk about quitting the noise, shedding the ego and embracing the real mystery of music. We also hear about Dave's experience in the music industry and its changing complexion – for better and for worse.

Food critic Troy Johnson details his start in the entertainment industry from an indie-rock TV show to a San Diego Padres pre-game show. Troy reveals how he set out to conquer his fear of public speaking in college and came out of the other side with a degree in poetry. The San Diego native talks about living in the city he grew up in and how that motivates him as the San Diego Magazine chief content officer. He reflects on the pandemic's impact on mom-and-pop restaurants and the efforts he made to support them, including hosting Instagram live interviews with the owners. Troy shares that it was in part to these conversations that he and his wife, Claire, decided to purchase the San Diego Magazine. Having covered food in San Diego for 15 years, he provides some secrets to the city's delicious cuisine. The published writer reveals what it was like unpacking his childhood in his book, Family Outing, and how it was received. He recalls early memories of reading the dictionary front to back and using writing as a therapeutic tool. Troy dishes that he didn't always want to be a food critic and even spent two years learning the ins and outs of cooking to perfect his reviews. He compares his reviews to his critiques as a judge on Guy's Grocery Games, shouting out his favorite challenge on the show. He highlights his upcoming event, Del Mar Wine + Food Festival, that he hopes will lift up the local restaurants in San Diego.Follow Food Network on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foodnetworkFollow Jaymee Sire on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaymeesireFollow Troy Johnson on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heytroyjohnsonFollow Troy Johnson on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_troyjohnsonLearn More About Guy's Grocery Games: https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/guys-grocery-gamesLearn More About Beachside Brawl: https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/beachside-brawl

If there's a formula for snagging a Michelin star, chef Roberto Alcocer doesn't know what it is. And yet his Oceanside restaurant, Valle (2023 critic's choice for best Mexican), just received its first from the guide. On this episode of the Happy Half Hour podcast, Alcocer sits down with hosts Troy and David to discuss the achievement and the lengthy road he's taken (passport required) to get to this point in his career. Here's the Alcocer formula, though: Taking his staff to yoga so they can relax. Encouraging chefs that, while under him, mistakes made at his restaurant mean less slip ups when they have their own establishments. When customers are running late to Valle, he doesn't throw out their reservation. He waits. It takes a while to get to Oceanside from San Diego, and he respects the fact that they're making the trip to savor his food. Born in Mexico City, Alcocer grew up camping and cooking. He made his sandwiches with stinky cheese and prosciutto. “Since I was a young kid, I was a good eater,” Alcocer says. In the household he grew up in, attending university was mandatory. And he did attend so, just after he crossed the ocean to spend some years in France learning to cook the cuisine. “I fell in love with the finesse,” he says. When he was 27, and after he had returned to the states, Alcocer was cooking for San Diego Gas and Electric's board members. That's when the thought hit: I didn't go all the way to France as a teenager to just make grilled chicken salads. Dipping into the savings and encouraged by his wife, Alcocer opened a spot that started with chairs and a rented porta-potty. The restaurant's name? Malva, now one of Ensenada's finest. Similar to Malva, Valle is Alcocer's reminder to diners that Mexican fare can be just as elegant as French and Japanese. And Mexican cuisine is woven into the fabric of San Diego. “Growing up here, I went straight from the breast to the hot sauce,” Troy jokes. On season nine of Parts Unknown, Anthony Bourdain said he believed a re-evaluation of Mexican cooking was coming. Even with how delicious the cheaper options are, there's another side to this cuisine—the side Alcocer specializes in—that many individuals are unaware of. Valle is an indicator that we're no longer peering over the horizon; rather, this Oceanside restaurant has proven we're starting to arrive at the final destination: a place where Mexican cuisine is as refined and respected as any other on the planet. Note: Californios in San Francisco is the only Mexican restaurant with two Michelin stars in the United States. When Alcocer came to Oceanside in 2021, he was hoping to claim a star. This month, he did just that. “I come from a country where hospitality is in our veins,” he says. If Alcocer sticks to his formula, that list of two-Michelin-starred Mexican restaurants just might get a little bigger. In Two People, Fifty Bucks, David recommends stopping for brunch at The Waverly for the Turkish poached eggs. Troy is all about the brown butter thyme sauce with ravioli at Civico 1845. And Roberto says the burgers served off the sizzling flat top at The Friendly are some of the city's best. Listen to the full episode above, and stay tuned for next week's episode of Happy Half Hour.

Three episodes in three days! This time recording remotely, so if you listen carefully you'll hear the added bonus of a cricket in Stu's garage. So much cricket going on right now and in this episode we cover the brilliant fightback from Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Pakistan in the second Test against Australia, plus a few talking points from the series as a whole while the third match plays out. For what it's worth, Baldy's tactics to talk up Pakistan worked a treat, as they lost 7-20 after we finished recording. In moving to the West Indies v England series, we discuss the state of Test pitches around the world: Are they an issue? If so, what needs to be done? Closer to home, the Women's World Cup semi-final race is hotting up, but it's all gone wrong for the White Ferns, while Australia continue to look unstoppable. We also talk about things we're watching out for in the Black Caps series against the Netherlands, and look at this week's Plunket Shield highlights (apologies to Troy Johnson for Stu calling him Troy Robinson in the heat of the moment when mentioning his 194* for Wellington).

I'm delighted to bring you a fun and inspiring conversation with the superstars of the outstanding outlaw country band, Nashvillains. I had the absolute honor of chatting with Brett Boyett, Troy Johnson, and Scott Lindsey all about their songwriting success with commercial country music and their transition into writing music for their band ahead of the release of their incredible album, Tumbling Down. The quote for this episode is by Dustin Lynch: “I draw inspiration from anything and everybody and that's what country music is to me… real life stories and real life emotions.” My conversation with Brett, Troy, and Scott is truly fantastic. They share so much songwriting wisdom, success stories from writing for country music stars, the difference between writing for other artists and writing for their band, the concept of Tumbling Down, lessons they've learned as songwriters in the music industry, and so much more. I had a blast talking to them, and this conversation is full of sparkling songwriting gems, amazing stories, and lots of laughs. Are you enjoying Write on Track?

Group features three of Nashville's top songwriters Nashvillains is an incredibly talented group made up of Nashville songwriters and producers Brett Boyett, Troy Johnson and Scott Lindsey. Last month, the band released “Who Don't,” which is written by the late Andrew Dorff, Old Dominion's Brad Tursi, and Corey Crowder, and is produced by Andrew's father, Steve Dorff. Signed to Fate Entertainment, Nashvillains' inception stemmed from the industry veterans' and musicians' shared love of country music and rock and roll. Each member has been successful in their own right before coming together for this unique project. Collectively, they have written and produced music for feature films, television shows, and major artists like The Chicks, Keith Urban, Cassadee Pope, James Taylor, Lauren Alaina, among many more. Band members Brett Boyett and Scott Lindsey first met in a writing session where they shared a commonality on a creative vision; that the country music spectrum was in dire need of a rock meets outlaw country presence that flirts with sonic experimentation. Having been familiar with Troy Johnson through the songwriting community, Boyett pinned Johnson and his gritty vocals as a potential third member when he learned that Lindsey shared his publishing company with the sought-after writer. The newly formed group looks to create a fresh musical landscape by blurring lines between genres, bending the rules of convention, and expanding country music. The sonic landscape of the Nashvillains is accomplished through using traditional instrumentation with creative modern programming while emphasizing the dramatic and untold stories that are rarely touched upon by today's popular country music. The group formed in 2020, but was sidelined by the pandemic in what they call an "asterisk year," as they explain their origins and more to us. Full video is below.

Brought up in a family where cooking and sharing food was a big part of family life, Troy learned to cook from an early age. What began as sharing food with friends, grew quickly into Juici Jerk a Caribbean food business in South London. As. result of the pandemic the business changed and began to offer cook at home meal kits nationally, allowing people well outside their South London circle to experience authentic Caribbean flavours, drinks and to share that with their friends and family. Troy talks about who has helped and influenced them, and about his desire to encourage and give confidence and support to other young Black business owners to start and grow businesses, about what he has learned so far and what he would tell others to do early on in their business journey . A great insight into a developing young business.... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
