This week, we're answering listener questions about snacking healthier, starting a career in fitness, and teaching mental toughness to kids. We wrap the episode up with a new Cool Down, where we give you permission to (perhaps) do the thing you know you should be doing, but aren't. The questions we're answering this week: 1️⃣ From Aidan: Do you have any suggestions for healthy and clean snacks? 2️⃣ from Kevin: I think I want to pursue a career in fitness, but I'm struggling with how to start while still supporting my family. How long should I try to see if the new position is something I'll enjoy? 3️⃣ from Victor: How can a parent teach their child a lesson on mental toughness? 4️⃣ from Orsi: How can I determine if an activity or experience, like a multi-day solo bike ride and camping with my 1-year-old, is a wise decision that will benefit her long-term development, considering potential disruptions to her daily routine and possible sleepless nights?

In classic 1940s Hollywood, aspiring screenwriter Fiona Cross discovers the pitfalls of writing remakes - including, perhaps, romance with an undying legend of the silver screen. Written and Produced by Julie Hoverson Cast List Fiona Cross - E. Vickery Victor Malacard - Cole Hornaday George - Jerry Bennett Margie - Kristina Yuen Andy - Michael Faigenblum Additional Voices - Rhea Lutton, Julie Hoverson, Reynaud LeBoeuf Music: Gabriel Garcea (gagamusic.eu) (also available on Jamendo) 19 Nocturne Theme: Kevin MacLeod (Incompetech.com) Editing and Sound: Julie Hoverson Sound effects found on Soundsnap.com Recorded with the assistance of Ryan Hirst of Neohoodoo Studio Cover Photos: (courtesy of Stock Xchange.com) "What kind of a place is it? Why, it's a movie studio office - can't you tell? Where else would you find... a screenwriter?" _______________________________________________ HOUSEWARMING Cast: [opening credits/Olivia] Fiona Cross, screenwriter George Webber, producer Victor Malacard, actor/director Margie, best friend Mason, butler Andy, a Messenger Instructor voice, on P.A. Landlady OLIVIA Did you have any trouble finding it? What do you mean, what kind of a place is it? Why, it's a film producer's office, can't you tell? SCENE 1 MUSIC SOUND EFFICIENT TYPING, PHONES IN THE BACKGROUND GEORGE The bad news is -it's really very good. FIONA [excited] Wonderful! [waitaminute] That's the bad news? GEORGE Yup. Because we can't use it. SOUND SHEAF OF PAPERS TOSSED ONTO TABLE. FIONA What? But ...but Mr. Webber, you said it was GEORGE Practically brilliant. I'll even read your next one, and I don't say that often. [pauses, thinks] Ever. But, Miss Cross... you should know by now that writing remakes is a complete waste of time. There's all sorts of issues. We don't want to get sued. FIONA But The House on the Peak was made- GEORGE Twenty-odd years ago. It's still dicey. Whoever owns it could sue us, and after that fiasco at Champion pictures last year... We're taking no chances. We're not Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, you know. FIONA If ... what if I could make an arrangement with the owner? Would you still be interested? GEORGE [cagey] Well, I said it was good, but I never actually said I was interested. [beat] Come back when you've got a signature. MUSIC BRIDGE SCENE 2 SOUND TINNY PHONOGRAPH MUSIC INSTRUCTOR [off mike throughout] And lift. One. Two. FIONA [puffing slightly throughout] All that work! MARGIE [puffing slightly throughout] Goodness, Fiona, didn't anyone ever tell you never adapt? INSTRUCTOR ...five and six. Arms up! FIONA I guess I figured the studio would handle all that. MARGIE [teasing] Did you just drop off the turnip truck -Oh, sorry, the porkchop truck. INSTRUCTOR ...seven and eight -keep them up! FIONA [teasing back] You just watch it, we Piggottsville girls are tough! [puffs a bit] Now I just have to get up the nerve. MARGIE [sarcastic] Nerve? YOU? I can't imagine! INSTRUCTOR [off] I hear someone talking! FIONA [whispered] Enough nerve to go and talk to Victor Malacard. MUSIC BRIDGE SCENE 3 SOUND CAR DRIVES AWAY. WOODSY NOISES FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL. FIONA OK, Fee. Let's see what you've got. Scene: Heroine walks up to big spooky house. She is nervous. Almost trembling -wait, no scratch that. She is resolved, plucky. Much better. SOUND CREAK OF WOOD, BIRD CALL FIONA [slightly spooked] Or not. Come on, Fee. You can DO this. Plucky heroine, for goodness sake. Pluck up. SOUND FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL. FIONA What a scene. Artfully disheveled garden. Overgrown and dried out fountain. Huge mansion in exactly the proper state of dilapidation. [tries to laugh] I should be taking notes. SOUND FOOTSTEPS ON WOOD STAIRS FIONA [practicing] Mr. Malacard, I am such a big fan of--No, I'm sure he hears THAT all the- SOUND FOOTSTEPS SLOW DOWN, THEN STOP. FIONA [firm] Mr. Malacard. I have a proposition for--Oh pooh! [ingratiating] Mr. Malacard. How wonderful to finally meet- SOUND DOOR CREAKS OPEN. FIONA [gasp] MASON [spooky and unwelcoming] May I help you? FIONA [muttered] I bet you get a lot of these roles. MASON Hmm? FIONA Sorry. Nothing. I would like to speak to Mr. Malacard. MASON No. SOUND DOOR SLAMS SHUT. FIONA What? Aren't you supposed to say something like [aping his voice] "I'm afraid Mr. Malacard... isn't himself today." [normal voice] and give me a chance to argue with you? [pause] Huh? SOUND TWO FOOTSTEPS ON WOOD, THEN SHE SITS ON THE STAIR WITH A CREAK. FIONA [calling over her shoulder] Very well, then. I'm not leaving. I'll just sit here until the spiderwebs grow up over me and I become part of the set! SOUND BIRDS. FIONA [muttered] Or at least until I get up the nerve to walk back to town. [sigh] Well, it's kind of nice here, anyway. Peaceful. [takes a couple of deep breaths] SOUND FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL APPROACH VICTOR [coming on mike] Can I help you? FIONA What? Oh! [noises, as she stands] Mr. Mal--Wait. You can't be--I'm confused. VICTOR [chuckles] I look just like him, don't I? I'm Victor Malacard the lesser. Call me Vic. FIONA Fiona Cross. I'm so pleased! I'm a writer, you see, and-15 VICTOR [cold] So sorry. Father doesn't give interviews. FIONA Oh, no -I'm a screenwriter. I wrote a wonderful script- VICTOR [perturbed] He doesn't act any more, either. FIONA Does he let people finish their sentences? VICTOR [chuckling in spite of himself] All right. Just point to me when it's my cue. FIONA [deep breath] I wrote a new version of The House on the Peak, your father's masterpiece, and I would very much like to get it produced- FIONA --because I spent a lot of time on it, and I know he would be flattered if he could only read it, because, well, the original was brilliant, but most people DO like sound nowadays, and this would bring his work back for more people to see, and if I could just get his permission, I have a studio which is VERY interested. VICTOR [pause] My turn? Then... all right. FIONA All right then, what? VICTOR Let me read it. I'll see if it's all you say it is. FIONA But your father- VICTOR Is old and very ill -one reason I cannot let anyone into the house. I have all the authority necessary. I assume you brought your script? FIONA Oh, yes! SOUND SNAPS OPEN SHOULDERBAG, PULLS OUT SHEAF OF PAPERS. FIONA Really, I'm a much better writer than I must sound like, from the way I talk. I just get really- SOUND A COUPLE OF PAGES FLIP VICTOR Come back in a couple of days. Saturday. FIONA Oh, no! I've heard that one before. It's not so late, I'll wait while you read it. [BEAT] Besides, I need to borrow your phone to call a cab. VICTOR [cold] I'm afraid you're doomed to disappointment on many levels, Miss Cross. I refuse to read on demand, and you cannot come in. FIONA But it's miles to the nearest- VICTOR You'd better start walking. I will see you on Saturday. MUSIC TIME PASSES SCENE 4 SOUND DOOR OPENS. CRACKLE OF WAXED PAPER. VICTOR [warning] I am not going to--[surprised] What is that? FIONA Lunch. You're not going to what? VICTOR You brought - FIONA If there's one thing that Hollywood taught me, it's come prepared for a siege. You're lucky I didn't have time to make pastrami and onion sandwiches, though they work a whole lot better in an office. VICTOR Work... better? FIONA Nothing like the chance you might stink up someone's office to motivate them to give you five minutes. VICTOR [chuckles] FIONA Want some? VICTOR What? Oh, no -I've eaten. FIONA [snort] Hospital food, I bet -all bland and toothless. It's always like that when someone in the house is sick. VICTOR No, [sighs, then, resigned] no -if there's one thing Mason makes certain of, it's that the food is good. FIONA That your butler? Or is he some kind of nurse? VICTOR Some kind... um, something. FIONA [bright, teasing] So, did you read it yet? VICTOR There's hardly been time- FIONA [Sweetly] Then why waste it talking to me? VICTOR [sad] It's not something I get to do very often. Talking. To someone. FIONA Read the script, and I promise I'll come back and talk up a storm. SOUND DISTANT THUNDER VICTOR [sigh, pause] Speaking of storms, it looks like rain. If you need to walk back to town, you'd best get started. FIONA I'm a farm girl. We're built tough. And reasonably waterproof. VICTOR [chuckle ruefully] SOUND DOOR SHUTS. MUSIC TIME PASSES SCENE 5 SOUND CRICKETS, NIGHT SOUNDS, RAIN [a beat] DOOR OPENS VICTOR Tsk. Do you know what time it is? FIONA Judging from the position of the stars, what little I can see of them -my watch says about 9. VICTOR [a beat, then] I read it. FIONA [gasps, then tight] And? VICTOR It's brilliant. FIONA Really? VICTOR Here's your release. My lawyer can validate it in the morning. FIONA Oh! I could kiss you [SHE DOES] VICTOR [shaken] I... Miss Cross...! FIONA Fiona. You know, you really do look like your father. You're lucky. He was really something, back in the day. It's those eyes. VICTOR Yes, I... [with emphasis] He... SOUND CAR APPROACHES, STOPS. VICTOR What? Who the devil--? FIONA My cab. I arranged for it to pick me up at 9. Siege or not, I'm not sleeping on anyone's doorstep but my own. Thanks again! SOUND RUNNING FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL. FIONA [off] ...and if you're ever in town...! VICTOR [yelling slightly] Of course...! SOUND CAR DOOR SLAMS SOUND HOUSE DOOR SQUEAKS OPEN. VICTOR [sadly to self] ...not. SOUND SLOW FOOTSTEPS ACROSS THE PORCH. MUSIC SCENE 6 SOUND TENNIS, CROWD, IN BACKGROUND THROUGHOUT. MARGIE So, they loved it. Did you write yourself a part? FIONA What? MARGIE Oh, come on-don't tell me you only aspire to be the pen and not the face? FIONA I just enjoy writing. I'm in complete control of the world. Everyone in my story has to listen to me and do what I say. MARGIE But acting is where the fame is. FIONA Who wants fame? VOICE ON P.A. [filter] Number 33, Court 1 is open. MARGIE Are we getting close? SOUND RUSTLE OF PAPER FIONA Should be next. MARGIE So you're in it for the money? FIONA No... I guess... I'm in it to ... to see it happen. MARGIE [pause] Are you explaining or should I order another drink? FIONA I want to see things from my imagination up there on the screen. I want to create something that people will remember. MARGIE And you don't want to be famous or rich? You're nuts. FIONA Rich would be OK, but famous just means you never get away. That must be why Mr. Malacard lives out in the country -to get away from the craziness. MARGIE Craziness? In Hollywood? Perish the thought! [pause] So, can I have your part? FIONA [laughs] There aren't really any good female roles in the House on the Peak. MARGIE Will I sound hopelessly undereducated if I admit I've never actually seen this fabulous item? FIONA You never--? Where did you grow up, a cave? I mean even in Piggottsville, it showed for three whole nights -and then each year near Halloween. I think the theater proprietress musta had a thing for Malacard. MARGIE Spare me the down home gossip and tell me about this masterpiece. FIONA Well, it's sort of modeled on this story by Edgar Allen Poe- MARGIE Didja have to get permission from him, too? FIONA Shush. He's been dead for -I dunno, a century? Besides, it's not really the same idea, just the tone. See, there's this guy who goes home after his father's death, to see his twin brother who he hasn't seen in years- MARGIE Which one was your mysterious actor? FIONA Oh, Victor Malacard played both brothers. It was groundbreaking at the time -using cutaways and doubles- MARGIE Is this important? FIONA [chuckles] I guess not. But the brother who'd been away was a man of the world, very caught up in business, and the one who stayed was a strange lonely man who talked to himself- MARGIE [sarcastic] In a silent film, no less. FIONA [agreeing] Malacard was a genius. They've got their eye on this new fellow -he was in that film, "Laura"- MARGIE Stick to the point! FIONA Tsk. So it turns out the house is alive, and must have a family member in residence or it will die. But the one who stayed would live forever, barring falling out of a window, which is what'd happened to their father. MARGIE Foul play? FIONA You got it -turns out one of the sons had killed dear old dad to take his place as head of the family, and live forever. MARGIE Was it the creepy one? VOICE ON P.A. [filter] Number 34, court 3 is open. SOUND GLASS PUT DOWN, BAGS SNATCHED UP FIONA I'll tell you whodunnit... but only if you beat me. MUSIC SCENE 7 SOUND CAR DOOR SLAMS. FEET ON GRAVEL. FEET SLOW DOWN. FIONA Oh. Hullo! SOUND CAB DRIVES AWAY VICTOR I heard you coming. FIONA Oh, and here I thought old Igor your butler was a warlock or something. VICTOR Mason is a lot of things, but--[pause] What's that? More scripts? FIONA No, silly. It's a picnic. VICTOR A what--? FIONA Pic. Nic. Food to eat outside so as not to bother those inside whom shall not be named. VICTOR But, you- FIONA I promised I would talk up a storm, didn't I? If Hollywood taught me one thing, it's to keep my promises. VICTOR Well. [bemused, but pleased] Very well, then. SOUND FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL. DOOR OPENS [OFF]. MASON [off] Sir? VICTOR [calling] Don't worry, I'll stay where you can see me. MASON [off] Very good, sir. FIONA Wow, he sure keeps you on a short leash. VICTOR [deep with meaning] So true. FIONA Well, this looks good -and see, there's a window right there where your keeper can peep out and make sure nothing improper happens. SOUND BLANKET SPREAD, THINGS BEING TAKEN OUT OF PICNIC BASKET VICTOR [deep sigh] FIONA [sincere] I do understand. My gramma raised me -she was from the old country, very wild Irish, and hospitals would never, never do. So when she took ill at the end, I had to look after her. And the farm. Just the two of us, right up til she passed. VICTOR So being tired of the sticks, you came right out to Hollywood, no training wheels or anything? FIONA Oh, I figure I'll go back someday -not to the farm, but to the country. Being down here -well, down there -is tough -there are so many people everywhere. VICTOR Better than being lonely- FIONA You can be lonely in a crowd just as easy as on a farm, and it's much noisier. The crowd, I mean. VICTOR More material for your writing. FIONA I don't agree. I figure growing up pretty much alone is why I have such a good imagination. Keeping myself occupied, making up folks to talk to. VICTOR [moving in romantically] And you enjoyed my --my father's film so much that you decided to put words to it? FIONA [slightly breathless] I... I didn't so much write them as sort of translate what he already said. VICTOR [deep and husky] And very well too. FIONA [gasp, deeply important] Before this goes any further, I have to say something. VICTOR [snapping out of it] I--we--of course, we shouldn't- FIONA Since the studio is picking up the cost of lunch, we have to talk business. I hope you don't mind. VICTOR [vastly relieved, deep breath] Of course. Mm, that smells good. No pastrami and onions? FIONA [laughing] No. [serious] See, the studio wants to know if we can add a girl -a romance -to the story. Seems everything just has to have a love interest these days. VICTOR [sharp] A what? FIONA And a happy ending. They don't want- VICTOR No! Under no circumstances! They're not going to ruin my--[through gritted teeth] my... father's vision -with sentimental claptrap. FIONA [teasing] Really? Sentimental claptrap is all the rage nowadays. [change of tone, satisfied] Good. That's what I thought, but they won't listen to me. Business over. VICTOR But you- FIONA Oh, don't get me wrong, I like romance as much as the next girl, but it would weaken the drama. Try a taste of this. VICTOR Um, yes. [takes a bite] That's -mmm, that's delicious. The drama, you say? Have you been writing for very long? FIONA This is my first script. That I've completed, anyway. I've got lots of ideas, but this one just sort of made me finish it. It's a bit of an obsession, I guess. VICTOR You should write more. It was very good. [pause, then throaty] Maybe... romance... next time. FIONA [oblivious] Maybe. I guess it's easier to write what you know, though. VICTOR [still making his move] Really? No romance on the horizon, no beau back home on the farm? FIONA [reacting, almost breathless] No -no one. I've ... never... not really, anyway... Oh. [long indrawn breath, then a teasing whisper] Your butler's watching us. VICTOR [breaks away] Blast! I can't even--! [muttered growl] Look at him. [heavy sigh, then businesslike] This has been very pleasant, Miss Cross, but I must go- SOUND GETS UP, FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL, MOVING QUICKLY FIONA Hmph? SOUND BITING A CARROT MUSIC SCENE 8 SOUND BUSY LUNCH COUNTER MARGIE So do you make a habit of scaring off men? FIONA Well -there was this boy back at Jefferson junior high ... No, I'm teasing. I've never had much of a chance to try -guess I'm just a natural. MARGIE And he was circling in for the kill, ready to land a knockout, when- FIONA The ref appeared and he threw in the towel. You don't usually think of grown men as needing a chaperone. MARGIE Maybe he's old fashioned and is trying to look out for your reputation or something. FIONA Old fashioned I would buy. He's got this courtly way about him...just like his father, at least the way he was on the screen. This sort of graceful way of moving that expresses so much. MARGIE And what was he expressing just before the bell rang to call the match? FIONA Well... [blushing] He wasn't afraid -I can say that for sure. MUSIC SCENE 9 SOUND CAR DRIVES AWAY, FEET ON GRAVEL VICTOR You found your way back? FIONA The picnic was to thank you. Now I'm buttering you up in case I want to remake another one of your father's films. VICTOR So what's in the bag this time? Dare I guess? FIONA No, silly. It's a surprise. I figure, not leaving the house much, you don't get to have a lot of fun. VICTOR My... father- FIONA Exactly. So, I figured I'd bring the some to you. VICTOR Fun? FIONA I remembered you had a swimming pool. VICTOR Pool? But--But there's no water- FIONA And swimsuits don't clank. SOUND CLANK OF SOMETHING METAL IN BAG VICTOR Then, what--? FIONA We-e-ell, can we go look at the pool? VICTOR Uh--yes? SOUND FEET ON GRASS FIONA I hope you don't mind my coming up here like this. I'm just so exuberant. Or is that the right word? VICTOR Well, you sound exuberant to me. FIONA Aha, the pool. Oh, good, it's nice and clean. VICTOR Mason sees to the grounds as well as the house. FIONA So, here. SOUND CLANK AS BAG IS SET DOWN, UNTYING OF KNOT VICTOR I--I'm intrigued. What do you have there? FIONA Keep in mind, I'm kind of unsophisticated, here. Another girl might have brought champagne or something. I hope this isn't too disappointing. SOUND METAL CLANK VICTOR I can't even tell what those are -I see metals and wheels, and- FIONA Silly, it's roller skates! MUSIC SCENE 10 MARGIE Roller skates? You had a chance to romance a bigwig, and you took him roller skates? FIONA The pool was perfect -I couldn't resist. MARGIE And the two of you rolled around the bottom of the pool like children? FIONA More or less. Well, mostly me. He was a bit too dignified to give it a fair shake. MARGIE But you didn't roll around like grownups? FIONA What? MARGIE Nothing. MUSIC SCENE 11 SOUND CAR DRIVES AWAY, FEET ON GRAVEL FIONA Hello? [beat, then chuckles] Maybe he didn't see me coming, for once? SOUND FOOTSTEPS IN LEAVES FIONA Hello? How tragic. A perfectly good cab ride wasted. [worried] Maybe his father's not doing well. SOUND DOOR OPENS MASON Miss? FIONA Oh, gosh -sorry! I guess I kind of expected Vic to be around somewhere. He usually is. MASON He's busy. Inside. [ominous] Would you like to come in? FIONA Oh, Vic said it's- MASON It's no problem. Really. FIONA Sure. Thanks a lot. SOUND FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL FIONA I can always, go, you know. I don't want to be a bother. MASON No bother. You're quite welcome here. SOUND FOOTSTEPS SLOW A BIT ON THE WOODEN STAIRS FIONA It'll be interesting to see inside. VICTOR [distant] Fiona? Is that you? SOUND RUNNING FEET APPROACH VICTOR [angry, worried] What's going on? Mason? [beat] Fiona? FIONA Just looking for you. Mason said you might be inside. VICTOR [angry hiss] Inside? Get out of here, Fiona. Just go. We'll be talking about this, Mason. SOUND FOOTSTEPS DOWN STAIRS INTO GRAVEL FIONA [puzzled] Victor? VICTOR [whispered] I don't want you going in and... catching anything. Understand? FIONA All right. Um, sorry? VICTOR [cold] Goodbye. [up] Mason! MUSIC SCENE 12 GEORGE [very serious] Thank you for coming in, Miss Cross. We have a bit of a problem. FIONA You couldn't get that actor, Price? GEORGE More serious than that. [heavy pause] Mr. Malacard. FIONA What happened? Is Vic's dad OK? GEORGE Sorry, I meant the son. He rang up yesterday and said, well... said you've been pestering him. FIONA [shocked] ...pestering? GEORGE Yes. He said he'll pull the permission for the film if you bother him again. FIONA [nearly in tears] B-but... I--He never said- GEORGE [fatherly] Just lay off, at least until the film is finished. Once it's in distribution, you can pester him all you want. FIONA Oh! [sobbing] SOUND CHAIR SCRAPE, RUNNING FOOTSTEPS, DOOR BANGS OPEN. MUSIC SCENE 13 SOUND COCKTAIL LOUNGE, MANY ROWDY PEOPLE IN BACKGROUND FIONA [very down] Pestering. That's what he said. Apparently. Vic couldn't even tell me to my face, [breaking down into tears] he had to send it through- MARGIE There, there. [calls] Waiter! Bring another one. [half whispered] A double. FIONA No. I really shouldn't. [moping again] I guess I deserve it -he didn't say I could come back, but... The picnic was NICE. Everything was nice. He was nice. Real nice. I thought. MARGIE They all seem nice -say, you didn't let him ... have his wicked way with you, didja? FIONA What? No! [melting] I mean, he almost kissed me at the picnic, but the butler was watching. MARGIE That's it, then. The butler did it. Probably threatened to quit or something. Good help is a lot harder to find in this town than pretty girls. [lecturing] Most servants are just actors waiting to be discovered -they're just not very good, or they'd be able to act like servants. FIONA [almost a laugh] Hmph. MARGIE That's better. What you need is a night at a dance hall -meet some nice guys, wear yourself out, then you can sleep. I promise, all you'll be worrying about in the morning is your bunions. MUSIC SCENE 14 SOUND PERSISTENT CITY NIGHT NOISES. SOUND PHONE RINGS, OFF [PAUSE] THEN POUNDING ON A DOOR FIONA [waking] Yes? Mm-what? LANDLADY [very annoyed] Phone for you.

SOUND RELUCTANT FOOTSTEPS MASON [off, condescending] I think this will help with your --mood, sir. VICTOR [coming on] I can't think of anything worth getting me up in the middle of the--Fiona? [truly upset] MASON [off, condescending] Now everything will be better. FIONA Oh, Vic, I shouldn't have come. I'm so sorry! Please don't- VICTOR Oh, no! No! FIONA But Mason called me. He said- VICTOR Mason! That filthy--!! SOUND DOOR SLAM CUTS HIM OFF FIONA What is it? VICTOR We must get you out of here! SOUND RUNNING FEET, POUNDING ON WINDOWS, TRYING TO GET THEM TO OPEN FIONA I don't understand, Vic? VICTOR Blast it Fiona, help me. FIONA No. I want to know what's going on. VICTOR Is this one of those things Hollywood taught you? Take a bad situation and make it worse? FIONA No. Oh, here [grunt as she helps try and push] I wasn't going to ... to not help. I'm just confused. VICTOR [grunt, then angry noise] No use, they're sealed. FIONA They are glass. There must be a chair or something- VICTOR It's never that easy -trust me. This way. Come on.

[dawning] Um, I guess everyone agreed the story needed a bit of romance. VICTOR What? FIONA Your house. It's just like the film -or close to it -isn't it? VICTOR How could you think--How could you know? FIONA I told you I have a good imagination. VICTOR But you- FIONA And you're the one and only Victor Malacard. VICTOR You're mad! I would have to be- FIONA Almost 60. I looked it up. And you don't look a day over 35. Coincidentally, the age you were when you went into seclusion. You look like him, move like him -even the way your lips move when you talk -not even father and son can be THAT much alike. VICTOR It's... the house. FIONA And Mason? VICTOR Mason's not a... person. Just part of it. The house. He... speaks for it. FIONA And watches over you. VICTOR Keeps me prisoner, you mean. [sadly] And now, you too. Fiona, I am so dreadfully- FIONA Shh. [calling] Mason? I want to talk to you -whatever you are. MASON [deep, on filter] Yes miss? VICTOR [yelling] You let her go, you wretch! FIONA Shh. Victor. It'll be fine. VICTOR No...! FIONA Yes. [SOUND -brief kiss] If there's one thing I learned in Hollywood, it's there's always room for negotiation. [calling, sweetly] Mason?

Today, we are joined by Jerry Parker to discuss how recessions affect current trends and returns for Trend Followers, how to use ATR to determine the initial stop and when to switch to using a trailing stop for your position. We also discuss if it's possible to achieve comparable performance when investing through a public or private fund. Finally we turn to a few imporant topics like how “alts” or "alternatives" mean different things to different people, the Commodity Super Cycle and how it can create a false narrative, how Trend Following adapts to market regimes and much more. ---- ---- Follow Niels on https://twitter.com/toptraderslive (Twitter), https://www.linkedin.com/in/nielskaastruplarsen (LinkedIn), https://www.youtube.com/user/toptraderslive (YouTube) or via the https://www.toptradersunplugged.com/ (TTU website).

What do you consider risky? A harrowing late-night brush with Death in 2018 changed Andrea Green's life forever. Since then, she's related to risk very differently and lives with even more guts, gusto, and abandon as a result. This episode will challenge your relationship with risk. And I hope it will encourage you to change your relationship with it, too. Meet Andrea Andrea lives in Truckee, California, where her life and work reflect her passion for adventure, travel, and the outdoors. She works for Jones snowboards and owns a freelance marketing and graphic design business on the side. With her Australian Shepherd adventure buddy, Chip, Andrea loves snowboarding, mountain biking, split-boarding, hiking, running, and anything else that allows her to explore new places. This episode is dedicated to Theo, Andrea's best friend and beloved canine companion who didn't survive that fateful night back in 2018--which is where we picked up the story… Life Changes Forever To avoid traffic and get there more quickly, Andrea decided to drive through the night to Oregon from Steamboat Springs, CO to visit her family. Around 1:00am, a drunk driver swerved into her lane and hit her head-on. Andrea was trapped in the car for two hours as EMS personnel worked to extricate her. At one point, the car burst into flames. Another driver had a fire extinguisher in his car and saved Andrea from the inferno. As Andrea waited to be freed from the car, she listened as Theo took his last breath next to her. Andrea broke her ankle, femur, tailbone, back, wrist, and collarbone, and she lost four of six total pints of blood volume due to lacerations. She went into surgery that night, spent 4 days in ICU, two weeks in the hospital, and nine months recovering at home with her family. She's since had 5 more surgeries–the most recent just weeks before we recorded this episode. Four years later, the accident is still very much with her. Highlights from Our Conversation How to resist the temptation to play the Victim card The personal power that comes from focusing only on what you can control and leaving the rest alone The perils of staying in your comfort zone Rethinking risk to gain the reward of a life that you love Making it Matter for You Pause for a moment. I mean really pause. Let the swirl of life continue to swirl around as you quiet your heart and mind. Now, search within yourself for something that you want to do or even know you need to do that feels risky to you. I'm confident that ALL of us can come up with something. How risky is it, really? With the hard-won perspective born of a close personal encounter with Mortality, the loss of her best friend, and the physical and emotional trial that ensued, Andrea challenged us all to not let fear be the thing that gets in the way of what we want or need to do. Are you willing to borrow a page from Andrea's playbook and go for it? I am. In fact, after recording this episode, I decided to declare 2022 a year of boldness. A year to pull the trigger on the things I've been dragging my feet on or shrinking back in fear from. A year to experience the real-world consequences of risks taken rather than suffer the diminishment that occurs when I don't take the risk and can only wonder what might have happened if I had. You heard it here, and you can hold me to it. Back to you and the risk you have in mind. What's just one thing you're willing and able to do TODAY in the direction of that risk? Whatever your answer is...do it. Life is SHORT. There is no Tomorrow--only Today. Remember, you ARE going to die. But you're not dead yet. So get after it! How are you changing your relationship with risk? Shoot me a note on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, visit my website, or email me.

The heartbreak I experienced in 2015 my have broke my heart, but it opened my eyes to the life I was settling for instead of living the life I was created to live.
When you love yourself unconditionally you have no need to seek revenge, destroy property, or fight over betrayal because you learned your love will always be enough to move forward in life.
When we focus our attention on the healing that came from the pain we live a life full of love and abundance.
You're not responsible for the pain you endured as a child, but you are 100% responsible for the pain you allow yourself to endure as an adult.
Sharing your story is the most liberating thing you can do for yourself and others.
If we would stop loving people from a place of what we have to gain instead of what we have to give relationships may last a little longer because we both focus on serving each other.
If you constantly feel like you need all the power and control in your relationships, you are loving from ego and not essence. A healthy relationship is when two people lovingly surrender and submit to each other.
Putting pressure on any outside source to be the reason for your happiness is the greatest way to be unhappy, no one should have that much power over you.
Learning how to say no and setting healthy boundaries in your relationships will ease your depression and anxiety.
Attention is not loved it's a part of the quality time you spend with your significant other.
I'm chill now because I had a reckless past, but I allowed it to make me better and not bitter.
If you don't enjoy being alone with yourself you won't enjoy time alone with another person either.
When you recognize your power you live a more magical and sacred life.
A person could love you and because they don't express love how you express love, you believe it's not real. I teach people the importance of knowing their own love language and their partner's love language so they can meet the needs of each other.
I can remember a time when I lived in shame from the abuse and pain of my past. I was afraid of sharing my story because I was afraid of how people would perceive me. It was easy for me to blame the people in my life who hurt me as a child, but once I became an adult I had to take responsibility for my actions as a result of the pain I experienced in my past.
If you were a child who never felt like anything they did was right or you felt like you were never good enough, listen to this episode, it just might bless your life.
I think men and women can work together as partners and teammates when they start laying their need for power and control to the side, and recognize the value that each individual brings to the table.
According to the Pew Research Center, 69% of adults and 81% of teens in the U.S. use social media. This puts a large amount of the population at an increased risk of feeling anxious, depressed, or ill over their social media use. Multiple health studies have shown that social media is a leading cause of depression and anxiety.
Everyone has had some kind of victim experience in their life, whether that is being bullied by someone in school, pushed out of a job by a more competitive co-worker, or experiencing a sudden, unexpected illness or life event that turns your life into an out of control spiraling mess. These situations challenge our courage and our resolve and they can devastate us. The worse damage they do, even if we do recover and move out of them, is create a victim consciousness where even when we are no longer a victim, the situation has left us victimized.Being a victim is tough and these are times when our lives feel out of control. Whether the situation lasts for 5 minutes, 5 months, 5 years, or a lifetime, that out of control, helpless, powerless feeling is definitely something no one wants to experience. And I know this all too well. When I was paralyzed at age 5 years my recovery and return to mostly fully mobility 5 years later was considered a miracle by my doctors. But what I didn’t realize until many years later is that while I was no longer a victim of the paralysis I had been victimized by the experience. Too many years of being left out, not being able to do things like other children, of being an inconvenience, different, and being stared at by curious people had made me very self conscious. My parents reminding me for years that “I almost died” (and I did have a near death experience) had made me aware that life can change in an instant, that nothing is permanent, and that you have no control over those situations.Not being 100% healed of the paralysis was a constant reminder of what had happened to me and even though I could walk and was fully mobile, I was very aware that I was ‘different’.I had moved from being a child victim of paralysis to being a victimized adult and I didn’t even know it.I let this be my life for many years until something shifted and I realized that I lived my life as a victim. I think it was the realization that all of my friends were victims, that I shared my victim story with everyone, and that my victim story was the story of my complicated, out of control, unpredictable present, as well as my past.I detail this in the first chapter of my book, From Victim to Victor, as I explain how victimization occurs and what it does to your life. (you can hear this on the podcast)The shift didn’t happen with any intention or plan, I think that one day I got tired of sharing my victim story and I decided I wasn’t going to do it any more.Now making the change from victim to victor was not easy because I had lived that way for a long time. But I had determination and desire, and I had the motivation to do something else. If being victimized was one way I could live my life, being a victor was another choice.So I decided to try it.Now moving from one state of being to another takes courage and determination, and a plan. I don’t suggest you do this without considering the consequences or that it may take a few tries before you find the victor path.Here are some things you can do to move from victim to victor:1. Like any self defeating behavior, being victimized is like an addiction. You get attention, support, and help when you’re a victim. So you are going to have to find another way to get those things.2. Being victimized protects you from judgment when you do not succeed at things in your life. So you are going to have to make a commitment to your success and stick to it since you can’t fall back on your victim consciousness as an excuse for non-performance or non-completion.3. You’ll have to define what being a victor means to you and to make that as valuable as being a victim. You see, victimhood is valuable or you would not do it. So you have to replace the value of being a victim with a greater, more valuable victor statement.4. You will probably have to find new friends because if you’re a victim your friends are victims too. If you’re familiar with the expression ‘misery loves company’, if you are no longer miserable, they will no longer want your company.5. The difference between victim and victor is I AM and if you look at the two words, they are separated by the letters I and M. Say “I am a victim”. Now say “I am a victor”. Which one feels better to you? Which one sounds better? Which one do you believe? While you may believe that you are a victim and your life probably reflects that right now, moving from victim to victor is a process of shifting your beliefs, your truth, and your perspective.This is a journey that requires intention, commitment to yourself, and a desire for transformation. It is not going to be a quick fix but you will see results when you take small steps and celebrate each victory. If you are ready to move from victim to victor then make a commitment to yourself, to your joy, and to your new life as a victor where victim consciousness is not allowed to cripple your dreams and paralyze you with fear. It is not easy but it can be done with grace and ease.I am a victor!You can buy my book, From Victim to Victor - How to Rise from Paralyzing Fear and Crippling Beliefs to Soar into Empowered Freedom at amazon and get your bonuses at this link.

Climate Communication experts Blair Bazdarich from the San Francisco Zoo and Hannah Pickard at Boston's New England Aquarium share proven insider tips about effective communication strategies. They are both leaders at NNOCCI, the National Network of Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation. They train aquarium and zoo professionals how to speak about climate change. NNOCCI is a network of individuals and organizations in informal education, the social sciences, and climate sciences.They are currently working in 170 institutions in 38 states. NNOCCI members reach over 190 million people each year. In this episode Hannah and Blair share the techniques they have been using, including a “values-first” approach. Through NNOCCI’s research, they identified two motivating values that prove highly effective in opening up conversations with members of the public. The first value is Protection—we feel a strong need to protect the people and places we love. And the second is Responsible Management. We value solving problems earlier before they become too big. In addition, NNOCCI advises climate communicators to to speak less about the mechanisms leading to climate change and its effects. Instead they encourage us to focus our conversations on solutions. Hannah and Blair share how to lead the conversation to a place of hopeful engagement. Providing achievable, large scale solutions coupled with a clear vision of the benefits these solutions will have on our communities and familes is an extremely powerful combination. It will motivate people to believe, dream, and act. Blair Bazdarich has spent the past 20 years becoming an expert in science communication, but she didn't realize that's what she was doing until recently. Through volunteering, performing, shoveling poop, learning new languages, teaching, painting, and advocating for endangered species, she has found her niche in the science community. In her current position as Education & Engagement Manager at the San Francisco Zoo & Gardens, she runs the ZooMobile program, which brings animals to schools throughout the Bay Area, and several teen volunteer programs, where she mentors high school students in conservation and education. Blair is also an active member of the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation (NNOCCI), and serves in the Governing Council, working to unify the national narrative and action plan on climate change. In her spare time, she is the resident "Zoologist" on the podcast This Week in Science, or TWIS. Hannah Pickard is Program Manager for the NNOCCI and is responsible for network management and operations. Hannah has led NNOCCI’s efforts on curriculum development, facilitator training, and alumni support since 2010. She has a background in education program development, implementation and evaluation for families, schools, and community groups. She holds a B.A. in studio art and Italian from Connecticut College and an Executive Certificate in Social Impact Strategy from the University of Pennsylvania. She also has training in evaluation from Lesley University and in conservation psychology from Antioch University. Hear these conversations to gain value lessons from leaders in the field of climate communication. The Art House Sometimes we cannot easily imagine the impacts legislation and policy can make. Andrews Smalls from City Lab wrote the article, What American Cities Looked like Before the Environmental Protection Agency Was Created. "Since 1970, the agency has reduced the six most common air pollutants by more than 50 percent, reduced air toxins from large industrial sources by almost 70 percent, and eliminated the use of ozone-depleting chemicals. And this progress was accomplished even as the country’s GDP tripled, energy consumption increased by 50 percent, and vehicle use nearly doubled." Of course we have still have work to do. We need to reduce localized pollution and heat-trapping greenhouse gases globally. So how do we build the political will so that the public clamors for legislation and policy that will change how we get and use energy? We need to communicate to the public what success looks like. Envisioning success in our climate work though requires imagination. To help us with this task Sean Dague, the group leader for the Mid-Hudson South chapter of Citizens Climate Lobby, leads us through a powerful exercise. He asks us, What does a decarbonized world look like? What does it smell like? What does it sound like? Once you hear Sean’s vision of a successful future, we invite you to continue the exercise. Try some creative writing. Write a short story or a letter from the future about what you see, smell, and hear. Maybe create visual art, a drawing or painting. If you can’t draw or paint, get images from magazines and on-line then create a collage. Write a song, create a map, choreograph a dance. Use art to capture a vision of a decarbonized world. Even if you do not see yourself as an artsy person, just try it. Towards the end of his life, writer Kurt Vonnegut would say, "Everyone should practice art because art enlarges the soul." PLEASE feel free to share your art with our host, Peterson Toscano, and let him know if I can share it with listeners, on the podcast, Facebook, and Twitter. If you have art from this exercise to share or if you have idea for the Art House, feel free to contact Peterson at radio@citizensclimate.org. Puzzler Joining us to answer last month’s question about climate adaptation is Doug Parsons, the host of the America Adapts podcast. New Puzzler Question You just spoke to a group of middle school students about your climate change work. During the Q&A a student named Victor says, “I am freaking out because of all the bad stuff I am seeing and it seems like it is just getting worse and worse. I really do not see the point of even trying anymore. I think we are too far gone. What difference does this make?” Lots of people young and old feel the same way. So how do you respond to Victor? How can you validate his fears while also giving him reasons to hope and pursue solutions. Send us your answers. Leave your name, contact info, and where you are from.

Climate Communication experts Blair Bazdarich from the San Francisco Zoo and Hannah Pickard at Boston's New England Aquarium share proven insider tips about effective communication strategies. They are both leaders at NNOCCI, the National Network of Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation. They train aquarium and zoo professionals how to speak about climate change. NNOCCI is a network of individuals and organizations in informal education, the social sciences, and climate sciences. They are currently working in 170 institutions in 38 states. NNOCCI members reach over 190 million people each year. In this episode Hannah and Blair share the techniques they have been using, including a “values-first” approach. Through NNOCCI’s research, they identified two motivating values that prove highly effective in opening up conversations with members of the public. The first value is Protection—we feel a strong need to protect the people and places we love. And the second is Responsible Management. We value solving problems earlier before they become too big. Hear this conversations to gain value lessons from leaders in the field of climate communication. The Art House We need to reduce localized pollution and heat-trapping greenhouse gases globally.

Nick Santonastasso is a medical miracle and a truly wonderful human. He is one of four people alive with the rare genetic condition, Hanhart Syndrome, and has overcome incredible odds to not only survive but thrive. Nick has gone on to become an inspirational keynote speaker, an internationally known bodybuilder, and a fitness model – despite missing both his legs and one arm since birth. In today's episode of the Daily Helping, this high-energy youth shares his amazing story, showing people that anyone can thrive if they have the determination and willpower to go after what they want. He has made cameos on TV shows like “The Walking Dead” and has become a social media sensation, gaining more than 1 million followers on “Vine” in less than a year. Now, Nick is sharing his experience with people all over the world as a keynote speaker at schools, universities, nonprofits as well as Fortune 500 companies. He is using his challenges to inspire others to push beyond their suffering and live a life that has NO LIMITS. Nick has already helped to inspire such giants as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Tony Robbins, and Gary Vaynerchuk. Nick's book, Victim to Victor: How to Overcome the Victim Mentality To Live The Life You Love includes twelve personal stories from Nick's journey, each followed with actionable strategies to consider and apply to your life. “Your authentic self is the sexiest, most beautiful thing you can be.” Nick's thoughts on the power of reframing: In your life, are you going to be the victim in each situation, or will you be the victor? It's up to you to decide how each event affects you and how you react. Consider that things are happening for you, not to you. The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway People need to do more things that they love. They need to do more things that make them feel good, and they need to realize: success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. You can have all the money in the world, but if you aren't doing something that fulfills you and makes you feel good, there will always be an emptiness there. Life is all about perspective, and the more perspective you can gain, the more easy and simple your life is. The things that we complain about on a day to day basis - in the grand scheme of life, they aren't problems or challenges. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

FoodShot is an ecosystem of world-class, mission aligned venture funds, banks, corporate strategic investors, and foundations that provide equity, debt, non-dilutive capital, and industry resources. Their first focus is on Soil 3.0 We discussed the following: - Flavour is a system, all the focus on genetics etc. went into yield and not into nutrients and flavour. - It is hard to imagine any future that has 10b people eating healthy and sustainably of which soil is not part of that future - Soil isn’t only the nexus between agriculture and climate change but also between agriculture climate change and nutrition - We have a pretty good understanding of what genes are but we don’t know how they express themselves - Think of soil and a plant as a single organism - Ten/twenty/thirty years from now we will look more at nutrients per acre - We need a Global Soil Map with nutrient density - The brands of the future are the brands who understand their brand is their supply chain - Clean labels are key - Chemicals have for the most part made farmers not think about systemic things - We have to find markets for the cover crops, they need to turn into cash crops - The interesting near term work is being done in changing from a chemical farming system to an organic farming system - From a data poor to a data rich farming system, looking at, below ground phenotyping, micro satellites, above ground Lidar If you are working on anything related to Soil 3.0 or know someone, more information on how to approach FoodShot and the conditions for grants and investments can be found here: www.foodshot.org Links: https://s2gventures.com Dan Barber Row 7 https://www.row7seeds.com https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/27/dining/row-7-seed-company-dan-barber.html Almanac Investments, David Barber https://www.almanacinsights.com Soil3.0 http://www.foodshot.org/challenge.html SLM partners: http://slmpartners.com A wish from Victor: How do we make the invisible more visible?
