In this episode, Barry Westrum - CMO at Taco John's, discussed the brand's current position and strategies for growth in the restaurant industry. With a focus on providing higher quality options in the quick-serve restaurant (QSR) sector, Taco John's aims to capture a niche between fast casual and traditional QSR chains. This write-up delves into the key points discussed during the interview, highlighting Taco John's efforts to bring back a nostalgic brand while catering to changing customer preferences.The Taco John's Strategy:Taco John's has historically been viewed as a fast casual concept, blurring the lines between QSR and fast casual. However, the brand now firmly identifies itself as a QSR with a commitment to delivering higher quality offerings. While lower-end QSR chains compromise on product quality and fast casual chains focus on higher-end options, Taco John's aims to fill the gap by providing a higher quality, faster alternative with the convenience of a drive-thru. This positioning is expected to drive long-term success for the brand.Embracing the Drive-Thru:The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a shift in consumer preferences, with a greater emphasis on takeout, drive-thru, and quick service. Taco John's recognized this opportunity and embraced the drive-thru aspect of its business. By enhancing their drive-thru operations, Taco John's has achieved parity with other competitors, with approximately 75% of their business now coming through the drive-thru. The brand has invested in innovative technologies to improve speed, consistency, and order accuracy, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for customers.Balancing Quality and Value:Taco John's strategy revolves around positioning itself as a quality/value brand in the QSR market. They have gained recognition for their higher quality ingredients and are now focusing on communicating their value proposition to consumers. By offering higher quality menu items at affordable price points, Taco John's aims to cater to customers seeking quality food at a reasonable price. Their value menu, featuring hand-cut sirloin steak, crispy fried chicken, and handmade pico de gallo, has been instrumental in changing consumer perceptions of the brand's affordability and attracting repeat customers.Expansion Strategies:With over 400 locations across 23 states, Taco John's has established a strong presence in the Mexican QSR segment. To continue their growth trajectory, the brand has forged a partnership with Meritage, Wendy's largest franchisee, to open up to 50 new units over the next five years. This expansion is focused on tapping into untapped markets outside their core regions. Taco John's has found that their brand resonates with consumers beyond their traditional markets, and they aim to position itself as a compelling middle ground between Taco Bell and Chipotle, catering to consumers seeking higher quality options.Breakfast and Digital Innovation:Taco John's has recognized the potential of the breakfast daypart and has invested in offering portable, high-quality breakfast items such as their meat and potato breakfast burritos. These breakfast options have gained popularity, especially for catering and delivery, contributing to the brand's growth. In addition, Taco John's acknowledges the importance of digital platforms in today's market. Their app has become a tool for increasing customer engagement, loyalty, and frequency of visits, and they foresee the application of digital technology in enhancing the breakfast experience and driving further growth.Recommendations on how to bring back a nostalgic brand like Taco John's:1. Embrace the quick-serve restaurant (QSR) positioning: Taco John's should firmly establish itself as a higher quality, quick-serve option within the Mexican quick-serve marketplace. This will help differentiate the brand from lower-end QSRs and fast-casual competitors.2. Focus on drive-thru efficiency and convenience: Given the shift in customer preferences towards takeout and drive-thru during the COVID-19 pandemic, Taco John's should continue to prioritize and invest in drive-thru operations. Implement technologies and strategies to improve speed, consistency, and customer experience in the drive-thru, such as advanced ordering systems, suggestive selling, and streamlined preparation processes.3. Offer a value menu with higher quality ingredients: Taco John's value menu has been successful in improving consumer perceptions of value and affordability. Continue to innovate and offer higher quality ingredients at attractive price points, catering to consumers who seek both quality and value in their dining choices. This approach can help Taco John's appeal to Gen Z and alpha demographics who may be price-sensitive.4. Expand into untapped markets: Taco John's should consider expanding into second-tier and exterior markets where the brand has been less present. Utilize partnerships with experienced franchisees, like the one with Meritage (Wendy's largest franchisee), to open new units in strategic locations. Leverage the brand's nostalgic appeal to attract consumers who have a connection to the Midwest or who are looking for a quality and affordable Mexican fast-food option.5. Capitalize on breakfast offerings: Breakfast presents a growth opportunity for Taco John's. Enhance and promote breakfast menu items, particularly portable and flavorful options like breakfast burritos. Highlight their convenience, quality, and suitability for catering and delivery. Leverage digital platforms and the brand's app to drive breakfast sales by offering incentives and personalized offers to customers.6. Prioritize digital presence and app development: In line with industry trends, continue investing in online ordering, pickup, delivery, and third-party integration. Enhance the digital experience for customers through a user-friendly app, loyalty programs, and targeted promotions. Leverage the app to increase customer frequency, average spending, and overall engagement with the brand.These recommendations aim to position Taco John's as a nostalgic brand that combines quality, value, convenience, and digital innovation to cater to evolving consumer preferences and stand out in the competitive Mexican fast-food market.The Future of Taco John'sTaco John's is repositioning itself as a higher quality, value-driven QSR brand, leveraging its strengths in the drive-thru market and emphasizing their commitment to providing affordable, quality menu options. With strategic partnerships, expansion plans, a focus on breakfast, and innovative digital initiatives, Taco John's aims to attract customers seeking a nostalgic brand experience with a modern twist. By combining convenience, flavor, and a touch of nostalgia, Taco John's strives to capture the hearts and taste buds of both loyal fans and new customers in the competitive Mexican fast-food market.

What happens when a giant brand suddenly gives you a marketing gift? This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Barry Westrum, chief marketing officer for Taco John's. Westrum joined me on the podcast at the National Restaurant Association Show less than a week after taco bell asked the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to cancel Taco John's registration for “Taco Tuesday.” Taco Bell has since then brought in NBA star LeBron James to assist in the effort. Taco Bell is many times the size of Taco John's. Taco Bell's campaign almost instantly gave the less-than-400-unit Taco John's a ton of attention. We talked with Westrum about how the company responds to an opportunity like that and what the company thinks about the whole thing. We also discuss how things are going at the chain and what kind of interesting things they may have coming down the pipe. We're talking Taco Tuesday on A Deeper Dive, so please have a listen.

One area of discussion is the importance of patience and a willingness to meet medicine and transformational work where we are, while acknowledging their potential to help us change. We also explore how many psychedelic integration practices are helpful in a broader context of self-care, as well as the healing work with psychedelics in order to cultivate a more grounded and mindful approach to daily life.

On the show this week, we're talking updated DevOps practices for 2022 with hosts Stephanie Wong and Chloe Condon and our guests Nathen Harvey and Derek DeBellis. Nathen and Derek start the show with a thorough discussion of DORA, the research program dedicated to helping organizations improve software delivery and operations, and the state of DevOps report that Google publishes every year. This year, the DevOps research team strengthened their focus on security and discovered that one of the biggest predictors in security practice adoption is company culture. Open, communicative, and trustful company cultures are some of the best for accepting and implementing optimized security practices. Derek tells us how company cultures are measured and scored for this purpose and Nathen talks about team and individual burnout and its affects on culture. Low, medium, high, and elite teams are another indicator of culture, and Nathen explains how teams earn their label through four keys of software delivery performance. Each year, they let the data show these four clusters of team performance. But this year there were only three, and Derek talks more about this phenomenon and why the elite cluster seems to have disappeared. When operational performance analysis was added, the four clusters reemerged and were renamed to better suit the new analysis metrics. Nathen details these four new clusters: starting, which performs neither well nor poorly and may be just starting out; flowing, teams that are performing well across throughput, stability, and operational performance; slowing teams, which don't have high throughput but excel in other areas; and retiring teams, which are reliable but not actively developing projects. We discuss how companies may shift from one cluster to another and how much context can affect this shift. We talk about key findings in the 2022 DevOps report, especially in the security space. Some of the most notable include the adoption of DevOps security practices and the decreased incidence of burnout on teams who leverage security practices. Nathen and Derek elaborate on how this year's research changed from last year and what remained the same. Nathen Harvey Nathen works with teams helping them learn about and apply the findings of our research into high performing teams. He's been involved in the DevOps community for more than a decade. Derek DeBellis Derek is a Quantitative User Experience Researcher at Google, where Derek focuses on survey research, logs analysis, and figuring out ways to measure concepts central to product development. Derek has published on Human-AI interaction, the impact of Covid-19's onset on smoking cessation, designing for NLP errors and the role of UX in ensuring privacy.

Ziel-Definitionen und Mitarbeiter-Metriken: Sinnvoll oder totaler Blödsinn?Das Thema ist heiß umstritten. Viele lieben Ziele im Job. Andere sind eher auf dem Trichter von “Wer misst, misst Mist.”. In dieser Episode sprechen Wolfgang und Andy über individuelle Ziele, Team-Ziele und über die Frage, ob sich das Team in die richtige Richtung bewegt. Unter anderem mit Fragen wie, ob es immer mathematisch messbare Ziele sein müssen, wie man mit subjektiven Zielen umgeht, ob man Lines of Code messen sollte, was die Velocity aus dem Scrum Framework mit OKRs zu tun haben und noch vieles mehr.Bonus: Wieso Österreicher Podcasts anschauen können und was das Fortuna Düsseldorf und das Sams mit der ganzen Sache zu tun hat.Feedback an stehtisch@engineeringkiosk.dev oder via Twitter an https://twitter.com/EngKioskLinksReddit-Disukssion: https://www.reddit.com/r/de_EDV/comments/uhnn4c/wie_werdet_ihr_als_mitarbeiter_und_euer_team/Sentry: https://sentry.io/OKR Beispiele für Software Teams: https://www.koan.co/okr-examples/engineeringOfficeVibe: https://officevibe.com/DevOps-Kultur: Organisationskultur von Westrum: https://cloud.google.com/architecture/devops/devops-culture-westrum-organizational-cultureCircleCi Engineering Kompetenz-Matrix: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/131XZCEb8LoXqy79WWrhCX4sBnGhCM1nAIz4feFZJsEo/edit#gid=0DORA Metriken: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/devops-sre/using-the-four-keys-to-measure-your-devops-performanceSprungmarken(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:37) Helft uns mit eurem Netzwerk durch eine Podcast-Empfehlung(00:02:02) Wie kam das Thema dieser Podcast-Folge zustande?

We can't talk enough about integration on this show. To help broaden this conversation, Ryan Westrum, author of the “Psychedelic Integration Handbook”, joins us to talk about psychedelic integration and the importance of embodied action following psychedelic experiences. Ryan brings his expertise as a psychologist working in the areas of sexuality, addiction, and psychedelic integration.   We discuss common pitfalls in psychedelic integration such as not being an active participant in change and the danger of unrealistic expectations. We also discuss the importance of being mindful about sharing psychedelic experiences with others due to the potential for stigma and judgment.

People talk all the time about how we aren't going to have a future... I sort of want a future... a good one!... and I want everyone else to, too! So, I might as well start somewhere and just get some stuff done...and everyone should be able to garden. - Bridget Westrum, 16 She had never grown anything before, but when the Covid-19 isolation blues hit last spring, Bridget Westrum decided to try a garden. Her venture quickly grew into a passion. Today, she’s spreading her love of growing food with other kids in the Bemidji area. Her Growing Our Future initiative offers free gardening starter kits to anyone under 18. Kits include seeds, seed trays, spray bottles, and more. In addition to the kits, she’s organized a gardening hotline for kids to connect with older gardeners when they have questions, and she’s establishing a gardening arsenal young growers can access for various gardening needs. Her initiative sprouted when she learned of a grant opportunity with the Minnesota Youth

In this episode, Kyle interviews clinical psychologist focusing on sexual trauma, health, and identity, and author of The Psychedelics Integration Handbook, Dr. Ryan Westrum. Westrums' biggest focus and conversation with clients right now in our age of Covid concerns who we are without medicine- how we fill the liminal states between our sessions or rituals. He talks a lot about the work people can do on their own now: learning to listen to our inner healers, honing and sharpening what we already know, stretching ourselves, listening to the different parts of our intuition (our physical bodies, emotional hearts, and cognitive thinking) and realigning when one is out of sync, and maybe the most important lesson: embracing the idea that self-work doesn't have to be built on trials and tribulations, and often, challenging ourselves to use our hands and practicing something we know we're good at or getting back into a long-forgotten hobby can be just as effective towards growth and feeling better about ourselves.  He also talks about solitude, how to use technology the right way and not fall into false engagement, what safety means to people in today's climate, the importance of tethering yourself to trustworthy allies, how psychedelics and his work with sexuality converge, and how to embrace the wonder and beauty of what we discover through psychedelics in everyday life. Notable Quotes “We have to consciously watch what we’re consuming, being prudently aware of this mindful consumption rather than this inappropriate consuming of information when we don’t even know why we just touched our phone or why we just engaged in learning more. Without sounding blasphemous (because I love the internet), what’s it for? What are we doing it for? ...How often are you getting lost in people you don’t even know? And how often are you reaching out to people that could actually be there for you? And it leads to psychedelic medicine work- are you leaning on the people that could actually support you?”  “What is the higher level of intention we’re living? If we are going to take the challenge to dive into medicine work by ourselves, we should still be constructing something that’s higher level, and to speak volumes of motivating the purpose of why we’re doing it. If you’re just doing it to do it because you think that’s the next thing, I’d ask you: what are you doing in your life away from the medicine?”  “Some of the most amazing transcendences are personal, and without being disrespectful to the medicine, do we need it to evoke that? Is that a state of being that we can find within ourselves through evocative breathing, through a great song, sexual pleasure with your partner, whatever? There’s other avenues. That’s what that leads me to, is the plethora of opportunity outside of taking psilocybin or doing an ayahuasca ceremony- [the] plethora of experiential experiences that are very evocative towards healing.”“Without going into hours of conversation, even in couples, people are unaware of what they can share, unaware of entering into what they want to ask for. And that’s where the intersection of psychedelics happens, is it gives them this embodied expression of: ‘This is genuinely who I am, sexually, emotionally, spiritually,’ and it’s quite beautiful.” Links Healingsoulsllc.com The Psychedelics Integration Handbook, by Ph.D. Ryan Westrum His last appearance on the podcast Thelightphone.com About Dr. Ryan Westrum Support the show Patreon Leave us a review on Facebook or iTunes Share us with your friends Join our Facebook group - Psychedelics Today group – Find the others and create community.

It’s often said that the brightest times follow the darkest times. We see this is indeed the case for Taco John’s and its fearless Marketing leader, Barry Westrum. On this episode of Restaurants Reinvented, we take our Taco Series to new heights (and add a side of Potato Olés®) with 4-time CMO, Barry Westrum who’s turning up the heat for the Midwestern taco darling Taco John's, which operates nearly 400 restaurants in 23 states. Hear how the chaos of COVID and a brand in flux became the positive instigator for growth that Taco John’s needed to inject new life into the 50-year old brand. Barry relies heavily on clarity and focuses to guide all his marketing programs, and he stepped into the “big mess” in April 2020 with an immediate focus on optimizing drive-thrus to be more efficient and speedy. As a result, the chain has outperformed other QSR category leaders —with four points of same-store sales growth over pre-pandemic numbers.“Everybody uses the word, but it’s so true, these were unprecedented times,” he says. “But what came from that was clarity and focus.” One thing that helps Barry and the rest of Taco John’s executive team stay on track is the brand’s five strategic tenets, which include a commitment to digital transformation as well as a focus on evolving the menu to provide better options based on customer feedback.

In this episode of the Plant Medicine Podcast, Ryan Westrum returns to discuss the finer details of psychedelic integration. Ryan is a trained psychotherapist with a Doctorate of Transpersonal Clinical Psychology from Sofia University and an M.A. degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Adler Graduate School. He is also the founder of Healing Souls LLC and a registered integration therapist for Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, as well as the author of the Psychedelics Integration Handbook. Drawing on his 15 years of experience as a mental health practitioner, Ryan approaches integration with an intimate knowledge of human psychology, drawing on multiple modalities to best facilitate integration for his clients. In this conversation, Ryan talks about various roadblocks to successful integration and how these can be overcome, especially with the help of an integration coach. He emphasizes the importance of making the psychedelic experience one’s own as a central project in integration, explaining how this is essential for allowing new self-understandings to emerge.   Ryan also discusses various practices he encourages as an integration coach, such as journaling, drawing mandalas, and movement practices, mentioning how these can all help better incorporate the work of integration into one’s life rather than keeping it an isolated project. Here again, Ryan emphasizes the importance of individual psychology and encourages people to choose practices that resonate and spur new insight.   As a practicing therapist, Ryan also shares his thoughts on the distinction between psychedelic integration and therapy, noting how this boundary is often blurry. What Ryan stresses for both paradigms, however, is the interpersonal character of healing and growth. With the help of a skilled integration coach, the work of living out one's psychedelic insights and making lasting changes becomes all the more approachable. In This Episode: The purpose and value of an integration coach How to make psychedelic experiences tangible How to start the integration process Different practices to help spur integration The relationship between therapy and integration Quotes: “Integration to me is the act of taking one thing and another and finding wholeness or links to wholeness.” [4:55] “[Integration] is reconciling past memories and incrementally getting prepared for future stories.” [14:22] “Integration exercises can also challenge you to see what you’re afraid of, what you’re not ready to look at, what potentially are growth points.” [18:27] “I would never encourage anyone, no matter how many sessions you’ve sat or how many ceremonies or how many cups of tea you’ve drank, to do this on your own. There’s a benefit in community.” [23:33] “There needs to be a purpose-driven motivation for this work. Just because it’s being talked about in corners, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily right for everybody.” [31:30] Links: Ryan’s Website Psychedelic Integration Website The Psychedelics Integration Handbook Psychedelic Medicine Association Get 20% off everything at Octagon Biolabs with coupon code 'plantmedicine' Porangui

The Westrum model has been shown to predict software delivery performance. It also helps us get a quantifiable handle on the intangible concept of culture.  With concrete focus points, it is a fantastic way to start improving your culture. This episode covers the Westrum Model. Sources https://cloud.google.com/solutions/devops/devops-culture-westrum-organizational-culture https://inthecloud.withgoogle.com/state-of-devops-18/dl-cd.html https://qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/13/suppl_2/ii22 https://www.amazon.com/Accelerate-Software-Performing-Technology-Organizations/dp/1942788339   Transcript Culture - We know it is the foundation upon which we build high performing teams. Yet, it is a difficult topic to address. We struggle to quantify culture, and what does good culture mean? How can we approach improving our culture without resorting to jamborees and dancing around the bonfires? Team building can feel very disconnected from our everyday lives. The Westrum Typology of Organizational cultures is a model that helps us quantify our culture with focus on information flow in the organization. It has even been shown to drive software delivery performance. The Westrum model gives us an actionable approach to good culture. I'm Johan Abildskov, join me in the dojo to learn. In any conversation about transformations, whether digital, agile or DevOps, you can be certain that before much time has passed, someone clever will state “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”. This quote is from Peter Drucker and implies that no matter how much effort we put into getting the strategy perfect, execution will fail if we do not also improve the culture. Culture is to organizations what personality is to people. We can make all the new years resolutions, fancy diets and exercise plans, but if we do not change our habits, our patterns, or personality, even the best-laid plans will fail. While a human lapse in strategy might involve eating an extra cupcake and result in weight gain we had not planned for, an organizational lapse in culture might be accidentally scolding someone for bringing bad news to light, which results in an organization where problems and challenges are hidden. So it is important that we focus on establishing a healthy culture on top of which we can execute our clever strategies. Our culture is the behaviour that defines how we react as an organization.   Ron Westrum is an American sociologist, that has done research on the influence of culture to for instance patient outcomes in the health sector. He has built a model of organizational culture based on information flow through the organization. Being in the good end of this scale has been shown by the DevOps Research and Assessment team to be predictive of software delivery performance and organizational performance.   There are three categories of organizations in the Westrum model, Pathological or power oriented. Bureacratic or rule oriented and generative or performance oriented.    In pathological organizations, information is wielded as a weapon, used to fortify ones position, or withheld as leverage to be injected at the right moment to sabotage others, or cover ones own mistakes. Cooperation is discouraged as that can bring instability into the power balance, and the only accountability that is present is scapegoating and the blame game. Obviously this is a toxic environment, and the least performing organization type.   In the bureaucratic organizations the overarching theme is that it doesn't matter if we did something wrong or in a bad way, as long as we do it by the book. Responsibilities are accepted, but the priority is not sensemaking, the priority is that no one can claim we did something wrong. Bad news are typically ignored, by the logic that the process is right, and the process is working.    Generative organizations focus on outcome or performance. It doesn't matter who gets credit as long as the organization wins. Failures are treated as learning opportunities and might even be sought after in order to increase organizational learning. This increases transparency and allows local solutions to be exploited globally.   So from bad to good the three organizational types are Pathological, Bureaucratic and Generative.   So far I haven't said anything about the specific characteristics or properties of these types. Nor given you any hints as to how you can measure or improve your culture. The Westrum model is measured on six different properties. The way it is done is through ask the members on a scale from 1-7 how much the agree with each of the Westrum properties. We can average and use that to plot into the Westrum model. I have built a free tool you can use for this. You can find a link in the show notes at dojo.fm.  First, Westrum talks about cooperation on the team and across teams. We create cross-functional teams from each of the areas that take part in our software delivery, making sure that goals and incentives are aligned.    Second, we train the messengers that bring bad news. We should celebrate bad news, as they represent a huge learning opportunity, and takes a lot of vulnerability on behalf of the messenger. We can use techniques such as blameless post-mortems to create organizational learning from incidents.    Third, We share the risk across stakeholders, we also hold developers accountable for availability, and Ops for the speed with which features can be delivered. We set up the technological scaffolding that can enable this, such as providing development teams with metrics and insights from production environments.   Fourth, we encourage bridging. Or to use the original DevOps phrase, we break down silos. Common silos are business, Information Security, Quality Assurance, Development and Operations. Reach out beyond the boundaries and find shared goals and motivations. Figure out how you can make each other successful. The good news is that the most effective solution is to talk together. The bad news is that we as an industry tend to be very bad at sitting down and talking to each other. Management has a huge influence on this characteristic, as misaligned goals and incentives will destroy initiatives in this area.   Fifth is our ability to learn from failures. Modern distributed systems are typically so complex that it is unreasonable not to think of your services as always being degraded in some way or another. This is in stark contrast to the very risk-averse enterprise organization with zero tolerance for failures. When we learn from our failures, we might even inject them in our environments to maximize our learning. It doesn't matter how technologically savvy we are, if our competition is able to out-learn us.   Sixth and last is how we approach novelties when they are presented to us. If we are able to build a culture where employees are able to experiment, in a safe way, we will be able to innovate and improve continuously. This means that we have to challenge the misconception that developer efficiency comes from high utilization, and that we need to have a high level of control. If we can build autonomous teams that can experiment with their process, we will end up in a good place.   I have gotten real respect for the Westrum model as it takes something as intangible as culture and makes it concrete and measurable. If we measure this once in a while and address the categories where we are not doing so well, or where we are relapsing to unhealthy behaviour, we end up with something as rare as an actionable concrete strategy for improving our culture.  That is powerful.   So in summary, there are six categories of the Westrum model. High Cooperation, Training the messengers, sharing the risks, encouraging bridging, learning from failures and implementing novelty.  It can be easily measured, has been shown to drive software delivery performance, and has concrete focus areas that can guide you towards a better culture.    So what is holding you back?   This has been the DevOpsDojo on how to measure your culture with Westrum Typology of Organizational Culture.

In this episode, Kyle sits down with Dr. Ryan Westrum, Psychedelic Integration Therapist. In the show, they talk about topics and teachings from Ryan’s book, The Psychedelic Integration Handbook. 3 Key Points: The Psychedelics Integration Handbook is designed to bring psychedelic experiences into the flow of your life and maximize their potential for helping you create the life you want to live. There is an important part in distinguishing integration from aftercare. Aftercare can look as simple as taking care of your body, getting good rest, eating well. You can't integrate without taking care of yourself first. One of the pillars of integration is PREP (purpose, reflecting on experiences, expectations, potential).

Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes About Ryan Ryan is a Clinical Psychologist in the Minneapolis area He has been a licensed Marriage Therapist for 15 years He works in the realms of psychedelics and sexuality He has a 14 year old daughter, and likes to take a psychedelic approach to parenting He holds healing circles with mothers and fathers and their child(ren) Psycho-ed and harm reduction are his focus with families This is a group of people that need an honest conversation At a young age he was into Stan Grof and Jungian literature and psychedelic experiences His graduate program was focused on non-ordinary states of consciousness Kyle mentions a good book, The Smell of Rain on Dust: Grief and Praise “As a western civilization, we have really minimized the opportunity for growth, the expansion of consciousness, and to be ourselves.” - Ryan These experiences are powerful, and to come back to a culture that does not support it, is hard The goal is being conscious with your confidence of why you're doing this work About the Book The Psychedelics Integration Handbook is designed to bring psychedelic experiences into the flow of your life and maximize their potential for helping you create the life you want to live This is not a book with black and white answers but an offering to individual people who want to explore all the possibilities for being alive and seeking wholeness. The Psychedelics Integration Handbook contains historical perspective, maps of consciousness, approaches for integrating body-mind-spirit, and practical suggestions for all stages of psychedelic exploration. The Psychedelics Integration Handbook The book was written for people to make it their own Its broken into 3 parts, educational, a ‘your turn’ section, and then integration Its about having a compartment, and then playing within the compartment Everyone has unique nuances, integration looks different to everyone Integration practices don't matter if they don't personally mean something to you Integration The question to help determine the integration needs is, "What does the individual lead with?" It's the mind, body, emotion in the spirit altogether Immediately after a psychedelic experience, some want to talk about it, others embody it Do they lead with thoughts or emotions? There is a part in the book: The difference between integration and aftercare How do we distinguish between self care and integration? Is my body rested? Am I comfortable? Are my needs taken care of? Aftercare is grounding “If you're not taking care of your body, you won't be able to integrate” - Ryan It might not be as complex as it needs to be, its as simple as taking care of yourself An important part of aftercare, is asking yourself when it is okay to practice again Ryan was mentored by James Fadiman, and he believed in taking big doses every 6 months One of the pillars is PREP (purpose, reflecting on experiences, expectations, potential) Ryan says he is not the gatekeeper Controlling willpower is a huge step in integration Some people want to just take psychedelics, but not write, or do yoga, or do any other mindful activity Safety Dose, set and setting are the obvious It's like a goldrush, some just want to jump in blindly You have to understand what safety means to you Ryan thinks we aren't talking enough about the recreational use He is excited about all of the conversation on therapeutic use, but he thinks we are ignoring recreational use He wants to see ritual and reverence in the recreational community Preparation is so important Kyle says that a lot of times after an experience he has all of these ideas for how to live his life, and he tries to practice them, but sometimes he finds himself slipping into old patterns of behavior Ryan says he believes there is still movement and progress, be gentle with yourself Links Healing Souls LLC Psychedelic Integration About Ryan Dr. Ryan Westrum, PhD, LMFT, is an internationally recognized psychedelic integration expert.

In today’s special bonus episode, we’re discussing integration with Dr. Ryan Westrum. Many guests on this show talk about the importance of integration as part of a psychedelic journey. However, integration is not always understood for what it is. As you’ll hear, it can serve as important scaffolding for a psychedelic experience, making it more meaningful than it might be otherwise. Dr. Westrum is the co-author of The Psychedelics Integration Handbook and an internationally recognized psychedelic integration expert. For more than fifteen years, his primary focus has been working with individuals and groups to facilitate experiential therapy and integrate psychedelic journies into healing and personal transformation. In this conversation, Dr. Westrum explains exactly what an integration therapist is. Simply put, they help prepare the patient for the psychedelic experience and assist in processing it afterward. What they do not do is actually administer the drug itself. In this role, what an integration therapist does can actually vary greatly. Whether they’re doing dream-work, CBT therapy, or even yoga, the integration therapist provides a degree of support and interpretation to make the experience more effective and meaningful.   In this episode: What integration is and what an integration therapist does How an integration therapist helps tailor a specific experience to a particular patient’s needs Some of the factors that contribute to psychedelic experiences Some integration exercises that help make meaning of a psychedelic experience The importance of intention setting and mindset in a psychedelic journey Considerations for group versus individual experiences   Quotes: “We’re not trying to put a square peg in a circular hole. We’re trying to individualize it.” [6:30] “Psychadelic experiences can bring out a tremendous amount of information that we’re not necessarily aware of. So any preparation is going to support that.” [9:14] “All experiences are challenging; they’re not bad. But if you invite yourself to compare and do the appropriate preparation within integration, you’re going to get something fruitful out of it.” [22:53]   Links: Get 20% off everything at Octogon Biolabs with coupon code 'plantmedicine’  The Psychedelics Integration Handbook Psychedelic Integration Healing Souls Check out the full episode post Keep up with everything Plant Medicine related here Porangui

Hvordan kan vi revolusjonere produksjon av grønnsaker, frukt og bær? Og hvordan kan vanndamp være et alternativ til kjemikalier i jorda? I denne episoden av #LØRN snakker Silvija med daglig leder og gründer i Soil Steam International, Hans K. Westrum, om en maskin som bruker vanndamp som alternativ til kjemikalier for å rense jordbruksjord.– Damp har blitt brukt i 100 år for å rense jord, men så kom kjemikaliene og kunnskapen forsvant. Damp-metoden dreper 95 prosent av all sopp, ugress og nematoder i jorda, og gjør landbruket mer produktivt ved å forbedre høstingen og øke lagringstiden for bøndene, forteller han.Dette lørner du: DampmaskinJordbrukAgri.TechBærekraftig matproduksjon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Westrum says when an event is widely experienced but seldom reported, we can refer to it as a “hidden event.” Many anomalous events, including UFOs, by appearing to violate common sense or scientific paradigms, fall into this category. We talk to Ron about hidden events and how the public had reacted to them historically and how that relates to UFOs. We also talk to him about his lifelong interest in the UFO phenomena, and his work as a consultant for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Ron Westrum is emeritus professor of Sociology at Eastern Michigan University, holding an honors B.A. from Harvard in Social Relations and a Ph.D from the University of Chicago in Sociology. Dr. Westrum is a specialist on the sociology of science and technology, and has written books such as Technologies and Society: The Shaping of People and Things (1991), as well as Sidewinder: Creative Missile Design at China Lake (1999). He has been a consultant for NASA, for the National Research Council, and also for the Mutual UFO Network. He will be speaking at the MUFON Symposium in July, 2013, and the 2013 Symposium on Official and Scientific Investigations of UFOs in June, 2013.

Wes Westrum was a catcher for the New York Giants from 1947 through 1957. He went on to serve as manager of the New York Mets from 1965 through 1967 and the San Francisco Giants in 1974 and 1975.

Since 2007, NOAA's National Ocean Service has been working to update the National Spatial Reference System. This huge project will modernize the system for measuring the horizontal positions and vertical elevations of the United States and its territories. During the course of this work, NOAA scientists realized that the heights of Colorado's famous “Fourteeners” — or mountains with peak elevations of at least 14,000 feet — had been overestimated. In this episode, we learn why this occurred, how this impacts the status of these mountains, and what benefits this project will have for the nation. Our featured expert is Derek van Westrum, physicist with NOAA's National Geodetic Survey. NOAA Ocean Podcast: Episode 79 -Moving Mountains
