Episode #548: Sunda Khin shares a remarkable family journey through contemporary Burmese history. She starts with her father, U Chan Htoon, who suggested that a young Indian businessman named S.N. Goenka learn meditation from Sayagyi U Ba Khin to cure his migraines. Growing up as the daughter of the country's first Supreme Court Justice, she recalls spending time in General Ne Win's home during the "Caretaker Government" years. Ne Win's coup in 1962 marked a shift, leading to economic turmoil and loss of civil liberties, including the arrest of her father. As a means for explaining the many challenges that have befallen her country since 1958, she explains the Burmese Buddhist concept of "tha gyarr thar tha nar," which is a Burmese prophecy that signifies the end of the Buddha's protective period after 2,500 years.Sunda Khin shares several international situations that her father was involved with. The most complex of these was when South Vietnamese members of the World Fellowship of Buddhists (WFB) demanded the organization stand up against Ngo Dinh Diem's discrimination of the country's Buddhist minority. The US was concerned that this move could weaken their ally against rising Communist influence in the region, and indeed, that the influential WFB might be falling under Communist control. U Chan Htoon was making some headway is mediating this crisis, but unfortunately, before it could be resolved, Ne Win had him arrested, perhaps out of a political fear of his popularity and influence.Sunda Khin also describes her father's rather unexpected acquisition of a lakefront property, which was later inherited by Aung San Suu Kyi, and where she endured decades of house arrest.And she discusses her childhood friendship with Louisa Bensen, who transformed from a beauty queen to a Karen insurgent leader, and their involvement together in the democracy movement many years later.“A lot of things have happened, but I have a lot of hope for things to change,” she says regarding the current resistance movement. “I might not see it right now, or before I die, but I'mhoping that it will change and that the people will be able to have their own government and their freedom. That is my hope.”

In part two of this fascinating conversation, Michael Purser of Rosebud Company takes listeners deeper into the art and judgment behind true wood floor restoration. From chemically removing old finishes without damaging historic wood to testing modern hardening oils for durability and maintenance, Michael explains how preservation work balances craftsmanship, chemistry and common sense. His stories are packed with vivid details, including dramatic saves on high-profile projects and the kind of field-tested wisdom that only comes from decades of hands-on experience. Purser discusses restoring legendary properties like Edsel Ford's home, revealing how history, architecture, materials and maintenance all collide in preservation work. Along the way, he shares practical lessons for today's floor pros: educate clients, respect the original intent of a floor, and never assume sanding is the right answer. This episode is both inspiring and highly instructive for anyone who cares about wood floors, restoration or the craft behind exceptional work.

In this episode, host Stephen Diggins and wood floor historical restoration expert Michael Purser of The Rosebud Company in Atlanta take a deep dive into wood floor finishes: the rise of urethane finishes, which helped revive wood flooring after wall-to-wall carpet nearly crushed the trade; how homeowners drove the change because they were tired of the constant upkeep of wax floors; and the shift from oil-modified urethanes to early waterborne finishes and later hardwax oils; and the need to educate clients instead of allowing them to blame the finish for every problem. The pair also examine the difference between true restoration and ordinary refinishing—how restoration means protecting original wood and removing surface buildup without sacrificing historic material, often through what he calls “Passive Refinishing” rather than sanding. Purser challenges romantic ideas about old finishes, noting that historic wax, shellac, oil, and varnish systems were often labor-intensive, fragile, and unattractive unless maintained by wealthy households with help. He also explains the nuances of museum and preservation work, where every mark, patch, and “witness” area can carry historical meaning, and the ultimate sin would be to make the wood flooring look brand new.

Part two of "All Things Wood Floor" with lifelong wood floor pro and tool-repair wizard Tom Wimberly digs into the real-world habits that separate smooth, profitable jobs from headache callbacks. Wimberly breaks down dust containment the way only someone who's lived it for decades can—why bags matter, how to keep them breathing, and the simple end-of-day routines that prevent clogs, fire risks and motor burnout. From drum sanders vs. belts to edgers, buffers, and vacs, he shares the maintenance truths most crews skip, plus the “shop-floor” fixes that save your upper rollers, wheels, pads, bearings and bankroll. Wimberly also shares his turning-point story of going from just getting by every month—despite having crews and being busy—to operating with a cash cushion, and how that one shift changes everything: stress, bidding confidence, the jobs you say “no” to, and the money you stop leaving on the table. His insights and real-life contracting experience offer a clearer path to a business that serves you instead of consuming you. Read Wimberly's articles "How I Learned To Charge What I'm Worth" from the December 2025/January 2026 issue of Wood Floor Business, and his article "Things Your Wood Floor Sanding Equipment Wishes You Would Do" from the April/May 2025 issue of WFB.

Episode 72: William Bowerman. When I first saw Dua Lipa perform, the drummer immediately stood out, and it turned out he was also the musical director: William Bowerman. Fast forward 10 years, and William is one of the most in-demand musical directors in the world, coming out of London. He's still MD for Dua Lipa, and now his client list also includes Post Malone, Jennie, BLACKPINK, The Kid Laroi, FKA Twigs, Addison Rae, and many more. His work with Dua opened the floodgates, and he's since co-founded WFB with his wife, creative director Ace Bowerman. Together, they're building something special. William stopped by my place while he was in LA rehearsing for Coachella with Jennie, and we had a great hang. We talked about his path, creative process, artist relationships, WFB, and life. Here is our conversation! Hope you enjoy it.

Tuesday, March 26, Governor Inslee vetoed section 6 of the SB 5784 to create an elk collaring pilot program with a data share agreement that farmers could access to track elk before they cross private property lines and cause damage to crops. The vetoed section was replaced with a cooperative agreement between Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Yakama Tribe. Additionally, SB 5784, increases overall funding for farmers who suffer damage from deer and elk, while capping individual claims for damaged crops at $30,000. “The Governor's solution to section 6 of the bill is concerning as the cooperative agreement provides no assurances that farmers will receive data from the collaring pilot program,” said Caleb Gwerder, WFB's Governmental Affairs Coordinator. “Without the data share agreement, farmers will continue to lose the battle against wildlife damages to crops.”
On Thursday, March 7, the gavel fell to close Washington State's 2024 Legislative Session. The various budgets have passed, a slew of bills are now working their way over to the Governor's desk, and Legislators are packing their bags to head home for the interim. While there is always more work to do, this is a wonderful time to pause for a moment and reflect on the great progress and positive steps that Washington Farm Bureau was able to make during the 2024 legislative session. Check out our full bill list and see the status of all of the legislation WFB has been following this session.

Stuart from Great Escape Games joins us to talk about his journey from Games Workshop store manager to Wild West gunslinger. As well as running the Cardiff store, Stuart also had a couple of his armies featured in White Dwarf and even won a WFB staff tournament whilst working at GW.

If you would like to contact Senator Mullet's office and thank him for his work, you can contact him at (360) 786-7608. If you would like to reach out to Representative Chapman's office and thank him for his work, you can contact him at (360) 786-7916.

This report is in response to some recent false narratives placing the blame that farmers continue to face the carbon price at the feet of fuel distributors. The Department of Ecology has the mandate to provide for this carbon price exemption and they continue to fail in this mandate. WFB has issued a petition for rulemaking with Ecology and the department has until August 15th to respond. We continue to wait on their response. In this episode, we look at the current landscape of who is responsible for this issue and what moving forward looks like. Are you a WFB member and not getting our emails? That probably means that we do not have your email address. If that's the case, let us know! Give us a call at (360) 357-9975 or email us at gr@wsfb.com.

For the first in-person episode, I linked up with Warwick Farm Brewing's Brewmaster Ryan Seiz to record this podcast and enjoy a Nitro Black Lager. WFB quickly became popular and created an incredible experience in Bucks County, PA that continues to improve. Ryan is a former Major League Baseball player and we discuss the parallels between baseball, building a business, and embracing the daily grind. Much like the movie "Field of Dreams," the phrase "if you build it, they will come" rings true here. WFB had a blueprint for their next steps before they even brewed their first beer. They have 22 acres of land and are cranking out phenomenal beers consistently. They originally wanted to focus on Hazy IPAs but have increased their Lager production due to demand. We hit on sustainability, their farming future and a potential Sour Cellar. Keep an eye out for this team!

Sarah Weinman's new book—Scoundrel: How a Convicted Murderer Persuaded the Women Who Loved Him, the Conservative Establishment, and the Courts to Set Him Free—is a gripping true crime story, and perhaps the tale of an ill-fated love triangle. It also is a story about William F. Buckley, Jr., who defied expectations to show mercy to a death-row prisoner, Edgar Smith, after finding out that he supposedly read National Review. In this episode, Weinman joins Matt and Sam to talk about this fascinating, half-forgotten episode from a key period in Buckley's life and career—how Smith and Buckley met; what Buckley did for him; the role played by Sophie Wilkins, Smith's editor at Knopf, in what happened; and the sad ending toward which it all careened.Sources:Sarah Weinman, Scoundrel: How a Convicted Murderer Persuaded the Women Who Loved Him, the Conservative Establishment, and the Courts to Set Him Free (Ecco Press, February 2022)Sam Adler-Bell, "The Conservative and the Murderer," New Republic, March 7, 2022Christopher Buckley, Losing Mum and Pup: A Memoir (Twelve Books, May 2009)Garry Wills, "Daredevil," Atlantic, July/August 2009Sophie Wilkins, trans., The Man Without Qualities by Robert Musil (1930, 2017)Alexander Chee, "Mr. and Mrs. B," Apology Magazine, Winter 2014...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!
