In this episode, Sarah speaks with Rossana Magnotta, who established the G. Magnotta Foundation in honour of her late husband, Gabe, who passed away after a courageous battle with Lyme disease. The G. Magnotta Foundation leads scientific research into Lyme disease at the University of Guelph in Ontario.Rossana tells Sarah that Gabe was an avid outdoorsman who spent much of his life camping, hunting, and fishing. When he developed symptoms including balance issues, eye problems, and memory loss, he was tested for everything from Alzheimer's to ALS, before finally being tested for Lyme disease. However, the Canadian Lyme tests came back negative. This experience echoes the stories of so many other Lyme patients who are shuffled between different doctors and specialists, with no answers. Rossana emphasizes how difficult this experience can be for families as well.Even when Rossana insisted to her husband's doctors that Gabe was an avid outdoorsman and that she believed he had Lyme disease, she was dismissed because of the negative tests. When Gabe's blood was sent to the US for testing, the results were positive. But at that point, they had lost precious time and he never recovered.Having worked in hematology, microbiology, and biochemistry, Rossana was able to investigate Canada's ELISA test (a two-tiered serological test), the apparent “gold standard” test for Lyme disease. Rossana explains that when she dug into it, she realized it was faulty, as it only measures a narrow immune response rather than identifying whether the person has an active infection or not and whether Borrelia is the causative agent of the illness. The test is still not a reliable indicator for doctors. With determination, Rossana set out to develop a reliable and trustworthy test to support doctors in diagnosis and consequently early treatment. From this painful experience, the G. Magnotta Foundation was born.Get the show notes and resources.
In Part I of a special two-part series, the Tornado Trackers share one of their most frightening storm chasing experiences during the surprise regional tornado outbreak that ravaged Canton, TX on April 29, 2017. When Gabe's car slides off the road near a mile-wide tornado, he's stuck in a flooded ditch having last seen a rain-wrapped, mile-wide tornado coming straight for him. The only thing he can do is make a goodbye video to his family and take cover in the car. In this episode, the team becomes transparent about the mistakes that landed them in a terrifying situation where Jeff and Gabe become separated as multiple tornadoes threatened their lives. This cautionary tale serves as an example of how personal motives can deeply effect the outcome of a chase.

When Gabe is sent home from work in the midst of the pandemic, odd things begin happening around his apartment building.

When Gabe and I met is a little unclear to us. It was most likely during a meeting with the Cochise Art Club. I was trying to dig up students to audition for Measure for Measure that I was planning on directing during the Spring semester 2018. I had seen him act in The GlassContinue reading "Storytelling Magic"
It can be a dream for a lot of entrepreneurs to run a multi-seven figure business, but what most people don’t see is how much profit that business actually makes. With so many employees on staff, you could end up making less money than someone who runs an incredibly lean business. Don’t fall into the scaling-up trap! Your three co-hosts, Gabe, Ryan, and Jon discuss some of the pitfalls they fell into when they tried to grow their businesses. Key Takeaways: What have been some of the traps Jon and Ryan have fallen into when trying to scale their businesses? Jon was terrified of having overhead expenses and hiring his first employee. He went six years before making his first hire. Ryan thought he was being smart when he negotiated his employees lower than what they were asking for. Ryan now tries to pay his employees more than what they’re asking for. One good person, one rockstar, is better than three average people. Ryan wants a lean organization with the best people ever. Gabe has seen hiring people on 100% commission just doesn’t work. What’s the mindset behind scaling your business? Just because someone has a multi-million dollar business doesn’t mean they are netting more than someone making under a million a year and running a lean business model. Our growth as an entrepreneur is directly linked to our willingness to let go of control. The main stress of the business comes from the employees. What’s your sales process? Ryan had one sales guy corrupt their entire sales team. One bad apple caused the business over 80% in revenue loss. When Gabe tried to scale, he was just pouring cash in and his bank account became incredibly slim. It’s important to try and scope out all the things that can go wrong in your business.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 53 °F, and we’re looking at what could be a pretty excellent week of weather. Today expect highs in the 70s with lots of sunshine, and expect that for the next bunch of days, too. Make a plan to get outside and take advantage of this wonderful fall week.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,067↗️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 3↘️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 75↘️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 38, Henrico: 23, and Richmond: 14). Since this pandemic began, 379 people have died in the Richmond region. The average number of statewide new reported cases over the last three days broke 1,000 for the first time since September 19th. It’s odd that that should happen over a weekend when, typically, VDH reports fewer cases. Something to keep an eye on, I guess.The City’s Planning Commission meets today at 1:30 PM and will vote on Richmond 300. If you’ve got last-minute thoughts or want to drop a note of support for all of the literal years of hard work that went into this update to our City’s master plan, please email PDRLandUseAdmin@richmondgov.com by 10:00 AM today. Honestly, it’s kind of surreal that this whole process is coming to a close—I’ve been writing about Richmond 300 in this space for over three years now. Here’s what I said back on July 11th, 2017: “As you can probably guess, I’m super excited about this and can’t wait to attend public meetings, leave comments, and read PDFs. But! The Master Plan process is not only for insufferable city nerds like myself! The kickoff event will take place on July 18th from 10:00 AM–10:30 AM at the City Hall Observation Deck, after which city staff will host an activity ‘asking individuals to write what they love about Richmond.’ This is a thing anyone can do—insufferable or not!” I did end up attending meetings, leaving comments, and reading PDFs—and I hope, that at some point in the last three years, you found the time and interest to participate, too. The way Richmond 300 involved Richmonders (insufferable and otherwise) is a model to build from, and I hope we’ll see more of it in the future. Congratulations team, and now let’s get this thing passed!I ended the previous paragraph so rah-rah Richmond that it felt weird to continue with the rest of Planning Commissions agenda, so I’ll do that here. Keep your eyes on ORD. 2020–205, which will authorize an interesting little set of apartments across from Maggie Walker High School; ORD. 2020–209, which will adjust the B-3 zoning district to make it less car-centric; and ORD. 2020–213 which I need to learn more about but I think would allow the City to use existing funds associated with the Devil’s Half Acre project to purchase the property on the northeast corner of Hospital and 5th. Why that particular property? From the Staff Report: "The City of Richmond purchased the land in 1799 and by ordinance, in 1816, established a public burying ground – ‘one acre for the free people of colour, and one for slaves.’” Over the years, both the City and the State built roads and railroads through and around the property, and today it sits largely forgotten and abandoned. This area should ring a transportation bell or two, because the proposed DC2RVA high-speed rail project plans on, once again, running right through the very same property. I wonder what impact, if any, passing this paper will have on that very big, very expensive federal transportation project. Also, the DC2RVA website seems to have vanished, otherwise I’d link you to the document that talks about how they’ll preserve cultural resources adjacent to the railroad.The Richmond Times-Dispatch has posted their 6th District questionnaires for bothSchool Board and City Council. Read that 6th District Council questionnaire, regardless of where you live! Lots of contrast between the two candidates, which is not something you always see in these things. I really love how Candidate Chipman flips the framing of the final, kind-of-eyerolly question: “Do you believe Mayor Levar Stoney deserves a second term? Why or why not? The upcoming mayoral election is not about what Levar Stoney deserves. The question in both the 6th District council race and the mayoral race is what type of leadership do the people of Richmond deserve?”Also in the RTD, Ali Rockett and Reed Williams look at the rise in murder and gun violence over the last few months and throughout the pandemic. Given my current feelings about the Richmond Police Department, there’s a lot in this piece for me to unpack—especially how escalating real-world violence is a possible knock-on effect of virtual learning. This stuff is complicated.The New York Times reports that “the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the largest humanities philanthropy in the United States, has pledged to spend $250 million over five years to help reimagine the country’s approach to monuments and memorials, in an effort to better reflect the nation’s diversity and highlight buried or marginalized stories.” For context, the foundation has already given $5 million to support the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, a shockingly awe-inducing memorial honoring lynching victims. I’m pretty sure I can think of at least one mid-sized city that has a ton of monuments and memorials that need reimagining and would be a perfect fit for a substantial portion of that $250 million. Given Richmond’s role in the long history of America’s racism, I think we could use something shockingly awe-inducing to help tell that story.This morning’s longread“PEN15” Has The Most Painfully Authentic Gay Teen Storyline I’ve Ever Seen On TVI think PEN15 is one of the best-written shows out there.Everyone in middle school, and in PEN15, is so caught up in their own pain, their own self-inflicted trauma, that they can barely notice anyone else’s. When Gabe ends things with Maya, it’s not because he’s suddenly accepted himself and is ready for some big Hollywood moment with a boy. We know the rest of middle school will probably be just as awful for him, not to mention high school. And just like Maya, he’s probably going to hate himself for a long time to come. After all, kids can be mean to each other, but deep down they’re the meanest to themselves.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.
What do you get when you cross an evil John Lithgow, a failed soccer star, and a morose Sly Stallone? You get Renny Harlin’s 1993 action epic, Cliffhanger. Sly Stallone stars as Gabe Walker, an ex mountain ranger who has left his posting after his slippy fingers cause the death of a friend. When Gabe comes home to collect his things, he and Michael Rooker are roped into assisting a gang led by the evil Eric Qualen, played by John Lithgow. Qualen and his cronies need to find their bags of cash that fell from a failed sky robbery. Gabe does what any elite climber would do and decides to take out the gang while for some reason not hiding any of the money for himself later…weird. Cliffhanger features some awe-inspiring shots and made a mountain of dough, $255 million from a $70 million budget. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss how that soccer star thing never really mattered and try to determine if this flick hangs on or if we should let it drop into mediocrity.
Gabe Tesch is a 16-year-old racer who has been on the track for the last three years. He competes up and down the west coast, has won three local championships, a first-place finish and qualified fourth at the International Karting Federations Grand Nationals. However, his future hasn’t always looked so bright. When Gabe was 11 years old he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Through his ordeal of 48 consecutive days of proton radiation, 48 weeks of chemotherapy, and a lot of challenging times Gabe made the decisions “God didn’t get me through this brain cancer so I could have a normal life.” And so racing was a course he embarked on to build a life of meaning and excitement.

While listeners might often think Gabe is an elaborate beer-tasting robot, this surprisingly isn't the case. That said, both he and Jeff are striving for better and more efficient ways to do things. When Gabe started reading a book called "Algorithms to Live By" he knew it might be a good way to combine two of his favorite things -- drinking beer and talking about nerd stuff so he told Jeff to give the book a read and here we are.

When Gabe and Jeff get started talking about task management, especially when they are enthusiastic about an app like 2Do, they can go on for days. This podcast is almost a day long but has a lot of task management goodness in it. The conversation is about the advantages of using plain text task management, some commentary on the direction and focus of OmniFocus and how they have embraced 2Do to varying degrees. They tackle the task of drinking Victory's new Blackboard Series beer, Agave IPA. A little grapefruit number that turned out to be surprisingly refreshing.
