Aloha! Chris is back from vacation and the guys hit the ground running. While Chris was swimming with the turtles, Rob was busy with his 5 year old Daughter's birthday party which also entailed flooding in his basement. The Olympics are underway but no one is watching... The guys think it is the same issue as the bubble last year as taking away fans hurts the viewing experience on TV. Rob encourages the listeners to find a way into the Olympic and World Cup committees as the host cities prepare for the upcoming events in 2024 and beyond. Chris details how attending marque sporting events like the Super Bowl can lead to great connections and opportunities by meeting the right folks. They also cover the dilemma of what happens when you accept a role and then immediately a better opportunity presents itself. Should you stay or should you go?

We're not talking about hell, we're talking about the great state of West Virginia. That's right Jon was put forth into this world from good ol' West Virginia. In fact we're pretty sure Isaiah might be my grandpappy.  For those of you that are from out of the country or from the US and don't know much about West Virginia, we're gonna talk about the history of West Virginia and then get into the creepy!    The area now known as West Virginia was a favorite hunting ground of numerous Native American peoples before the arrival of European settlers. Many ancient earthen mounds constructed by various mound builder cultures survive, especially in the areas of Moundsville, South Charleston, and Romney. The artifacts uncovered in these give evidence of a village society having a tribal trade system culture that practiced the cold working of copper to a limited extent. As of 2009, over 12,500 archaeological sites have been documented in West Virginia. The Adena provided the greatest cultural influence in the state. For practical purposes, the Adena is the Early Woodland period From the years of about 1000 B.C. to about 1 A.D. according to West Virginia University's Dr. Edward V. McMichael.    In 1671, General Abraham Wood, at the direction of Royal Governor William Berkeley of the Virginia Colony, sent the party of Thomas Batts and Robert Fallum into the West Virginia area. During this expedition the pair followed the New River and discovered Kanawha Falls.   The Treaty of Albany, 1722, designated the Blue Ridge Mountains as the western boundary of white settlement, and recognized Iroquois rights on the west side of the ridge, including all of West Virginia. The Iroquois made little effort to settle these parts, but nonetheless claimed them as their hunting ground, as did other tribes, notably the Shawnee and Cherokee. Soon after this, white settlers began moving into the Greater Shenandoah-Potomac Valley making up the entire eastern portion of the State and just fucking everything up for everyone one. They found it largely unoccupied, apart from Tuscaroras who had lately moved into the area around Martinsburg, WV, some Shawnee villages in the region around Moorefield, WV and Winchester, VA, and frequent passing bands of "Northern Indians" (Lenape from New Jersey) and "Southern Indians" (Catawba from South Carolina) who were engaged in a bitter long-distance war, using the Valley as a battleground.   Orange County, Virginia was formed in 1734. It included all areas west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, constituting all of present West Virginia. However, in 1736 the Iroquois Six Nations protested Virginia's colonization beyond the demarcated Blue Ridge, and a skirmish was fought in 1743. The Iroquois were on the point of threatening all-out war against the Virginia Colony over the "Cohongoruton lands", which would have been destructive and devastating, when Governor Gooch bought out their claim for 400 pounds at the Treaty of Lancaster (1744).   During the late 17th and early 18th centuries, a growing demand for beaver sent trappers up and down the Kanawha region's tributary creeks by canoe and raft. Trading posts were established at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers at Point Pleasant, West Virginia where, in the mid 1780s, Daniel Boone resided for several years. Likewise, St. Albans, West Virginia, at the confluence of the Kanawha and Coal Rivers, became a point of trade. In the late 18th century, the steel trap increased efficiency, and beaver became scarce. A shift to exporting the state's other natural resources began. Kanawha salt production followed by coal and timber could be seen on the waterways.The logging industry furthered the river shipping industry. A horse-drawn logging "tram" with a special block & tackle for hill-side harvesting was brought into use, allowing expansion of Crooked Creek and the opening of a wooden barrel plant at the creek's mouth. In the 1880s, this tram and other steam machinery were used for collecting timber used as railroad ties in the railway construction along the Kanawha river. Railroad spurs were built throughout West Virginia, connecting mines to the riverboats, barges and coal-tipples.   In 1861, as the United States itself became massively divided over slavery, leading to the American Civil War (1861–1865), the western regions of Virginia split with the eastern portion politically, and the two were never reconciled as a single state again. In 1863, the western region was admitted to the Union as a new separate state, initially planned to be called the State of Kanawha, but ultimately named West Virginia.   When the First Wheeling Convention met, 425 delegates from 25 counties were present, but a division of sentiment soon arose. Some delegates favored the immediate formation of a new state, while others argued that, as Virginia's secession had not yet been ratified or become effective, such action would constitute revolution against the United States.[16] It was decided that if the ordinance were adopted (of which there was little doubt) another convention including the members-elect of the legislature should meet at Wheeling in June 1861. Even before the American Civil War, counties in northwest Virginia had desired to break away from Virginia to form a new state. However, the federal Constitution did not allow a new state to be created out of an existing state unless the existing state gave its consent. Soon after the Union government declared that the Restored Government was the legitimate government of the Commonwealth, the Restored Government asserted its authority to give such approval. It authorized the creation of the State of Kanawha, consisting of most of the counties that now comprise West Virginia. A little over one month later, Kanawha was renamed West Virginia. The Wheeling Convention, which had taken a recess until August 6, 1861, reassembled on August 20, 1861, and called for a popular vote on the formation of a new state and for a convention to frame a constitution if the vote should be favorable. In the election held on October 24, 1861, 18,408 votes were cast for the new state and only 781 against. At this time, West Virginia had nearly 70,000 qualified voters, and the May 23, 1861 vote to secede had drawn nearly 54,000 voters. At first the Wheeling politicians controlled only a small part of West Virginia. However Federal forces soon drove the Confederates out of most of West Virginia. On May 13, 1862, the state legislature of the reorganized government approved the formation of the new state. An application for admission to the Union was made to Congress. On December 31, 1862, an enabling act was approved by President Lincoln, admitting West Virginia on the condition that a provision for the gradual abolition of slavery be inserted in the Constitution. President Lincoln issued a proclamation admitting the state at the end of 60 days, on June 20, 1863. Meanwhile, officers for the new state were chosen, and Governor Pierpont moved the Restored Government to Alexandria from which he asserted jurisdiction over the counties of Virginia within the Federal lines.  In recent years, there has been serious talk about the possibility of certain counties in the Eastern Panhandle rejoining the Commonwealth of Virginia. Frustrated by bad economic conditions and what they perceive to be neglect from the Charleston government, this movement has gained at least some momentum. In 2011, West Virginia state delegate Larry Kump sponsored legislation to allow Morgan, Berkeley, and Jefferson counties to rejoin Virginia by popular vote.                  So there's a somewhat abbreviated history of west Virginia and it's formation.  I know it may not seem abbreviated but there's a long history to the area and we wanted to hit the big points to keep our passengers better informed! So with the history of the region told… Let's get into why we are all here… The creepy shit!!!   Our first stop on the creepy West Virginia tour starts at a place of much fun and enjoyment, an amusement park! Well, what used to be an amusement park anyway. We are heading to Mercer county and a visit to Lake Shawnee Amusement park.  The southern West Virginia park was abandoned in 1966, after the accidental deaths of two of its young patrons. But it seems Lake Shawnee's haunted history reaches much farther back. Mercer County was home to a Native American tribe until 1783, when a European family's attempt to settle the land sparked a violent turf war. The patriarch of the family was a farmer named Mitchell Clay, according to the Wyoming County Report. While he was out hunting, a band of Native Americans reportedly killed his youngest son, Bartley Clay. A daughter, Tabitha, was knifed to death in the struggle. Eldest son Ezekial was kidnapped and burned at the stake. Mitchell Clay enlisted the help of other white settlers to seek vengeance for his family. After burying his children, he murdered several of the Native Americans. Centuries later, in the 1920s, a businessman named Conley T. Snidow purchased the site of the Clay farm and developed it into an amusement park. He built a swing set, a ferris wheel, a water slide, a dance hall, and a speakeasy. He also added a pond and swimming hole, complete with canoes.A little girl in a pink ruffled dress met her end after climbing into the circling swing set. She was killed after a truck backed into the path of the swing. Another little one, this time a boy, drowned in the amusement park's swimming pond. According to Visit West Virginia, the park's rides were responsible for a total of six deaths. The park eventually shut down, but its structures were left to rot and rust. After 20 years, another businessman approached Lake Shawnee. Gaylord White thought the sleepy meadows seemed ideal for future neighborhoods. But, as construction crews tore into grass and soil, they unearthed bones and Native American artifacts.   It turned out the amusement park sat atop an ancient burial ground. And most of the skeletons belonged to children. Archaeologists believe the remains had been there long before settlers moved west. So with that history in mind is it any wonder Lake Shawnee ranks as one of the Travel Channel's “Most Terrifying Places in America.” ABC goes even further. Their experts declared the property one of the “10 Most Haunted Places in the World.” So what kind of stuff happens here? Well, let's find out. There is no shortage of strange stories coming from visitors like people getting horrible vibes, seeing ghosts, or feeling the presence of evil spirits. Scariest Places on Earth filmed there in 2005. However, none of the psychics would work on the property at night, claiming that the energy was so dark it was making them sick. Swimming is no longer allowed on the property but, of course, there are still those idiots that try it anyways. Many reports day that while attempting to swim it felt as if someone, or something, was trying to pull the people down into the water and drown them. There are tons of reports of seeing the ghost of a little girl playing on the old swings. Most people agree that it must be the ghost of the little girl in the pink dress. There are also reports of people seeing ghostly children playing by the ferris wheel. Some report the sounds of children laughing or Natives chanting. And then there Moody's favorite, the conversion stand food! Well not exactly, there's no conversion stand anymore but people have stated that they can still smell the concession stand foods aroma in the air. Then there are the shadowy figures that many will say they are on the old ferris wheel and swing rides still adorning the park. When the Discovery Channel filmed, Chris White, descendant of Gaylord White, says one of its investigators got stuck in the old ticket booth and went into such a panic she had to go to the hospital in Princeton. “She couldn't get out and she was yelling for help,” he said.   “It was a push door and she was pushing.”   White won't speak of any personal “creepy” Lake Shawnee experiences. He does, however, say his father had an encounter with the little girl who lost her life on the swings 49 years ago.   “Dad was on the tractor mowing the field and he kept feeling a weight on his shoulders,” White said. “He didn't know what it was, so one day he felt the weight and he turned around and the little girl from the swings was there. She was in a ruffled dress and she just appeared. He wasn't scared, but the only thing he could think of was, ‘Well, if you like this tractor so much, I'm going to give it to you.'   “So he got off of it and left it sitting there. It's still sitting where he left it in the late ‘90s.”    Creepy shit for sure!   So where to next you ask? Well, how about the Silver Run Tunnel #19 near Cairo WV. Silver Run Tunnel is located along the North Bend Rail Trail. Before the Civil War, the Rail Trail was–as the name implies–a railroad. According to West Virginia State Parks, the railroad was sold in the '80s, and construction of the recreation trail as it now began. The trail stretches 72 miles and has 10 tunnels. The tunnel in this legend is also known as Tunnel #19. According to BridgeHunter.com, the tunnel is 1,376 feet long. Locals say that the tunnel is almost permanently damp and foggy. The tunnel is home to the legend of the lady in the white dress. The legend of the lady in the white dress goes that she was a bride who was riding on a train with her groom, and either she was pushed or fell from the train and died.   One early account guess as follows: In 1910, a young engineer was making the 169 mile midnight westbound express run along the Baltimore and Ohio tracks starting in Grafton and heading toward Clarksburg and then, Parkersburg. When the engineer came upon the short stretch of railway at the entrance to Tunnel #19, in the light of the moon and headlights, he saw a woman in a pale dress with raven-colored hair and golden slippers walking along the tracks. Horrified he would hit her, he tried desperately to stop the train by throwing the brakes into emergency. He could not stop in time.   The engineer would later report to watchmen at the Smithburg Tunnel about 36 miles west that he and the fireman jumped from the train, but a layer of fog on the tracks seemed to swallow up the pale lady. Crazy shit!    “And there's a saying that goes along with the tunnel. If you watch the trains, and the train slows down, they see the ghost, and the engineer has never seen the white lady before, but if the engineer just barrels on through the tunnel, he has had an experience with the ghost, and he's not going to take it anymore,” explained Jason Burns, a West Virginia storyteller, “Because the ghost has a habit of standing in the tracks, and when the train stops to check if it has run over somebody, there is no one there. So the engineer gets ticked off that he has stopped his train for this person who is obviously a ghost, and so they would just barrel through the tunnel as fast as they can next time, so they don't have to worry about it.” In one particular instance, an engineer stopped his train a few times, thinking he might have run over somebody. Like the other engineers, the man decided to go quickly through the tunnel to avoid falling for her trick again.   “Well, on the way to the next town, usually there's people waving at the trains along the tracks anyways at this time period, but he starts noticing that there was an inordinately large amount of people following his train, and some of them are on horseback, and some of them were yelling and waving crazily,” said Burns, “When he finally gets to the town, Proper, and stops his train, there's this group of people that has literally followed him most of the way down the train tracks, and they're like, ‘Where is she?' and he's like, ‘Where is who?' and they said, ‘The lady,' and he was like, ‘What lady?' and they said, ‘The lady in the white dress,' and he said, ‘you mean the ghost back in the tunnel?' They said, ‘No, the ghost that was riding your cow catcher for the past two and a half miles.' Apparently, the ghost had a sense of humor because she was allegedly sitting on the cowcatcher of the train, and if people were standing by watching the train go past, she was waving at them.”   And now for something completely different… Except for not! We're gonna stick with tunnels and head to Dingess tunnel! Dingess is an unincorporated community in Mingo County, West Virginia. The community was named after William Anderson Dingess, a pioneer settler. As of 1894, Dingess contained two hotels, eight boarding houses, four restaurants, four groceries, four sawmills, and a school with two teachers and about 100 students. 133 coal miners lived in Dingess. The community once garnered a reputation for being a lawless land. From 1900 to 1972, approximately seventeen lawmen were shot to death in the area which stretches fifteen miles along Twelve Pole Creek. The Dingess Tunnel was built in 1892 for the Norfolk and Western Railroad, largely by African American and Chinese immigrant workers. Legend has it that residents of Dingess, who didn't take kindly to outsiders, used to hide in the hills just outside the tunnel and shoot any dark skinned passengers aboard the train, according to internet reports. No records were kept but it's estimated that hundreds of black and Chinese workers died. In addition to the murders, workers also died during construction, and at least two trains collided on the tracks there, causing more deaths. These crimes and accidents still haunt the area and earned the tunnel its terrible nickname: "Bloody Mingo." The dark history of the tunnel loaned itself well to macabre tales told during Halloween. Eventually, the stories grew, and the celebrations turned horrific. Almost as if the area proved once again to be untamable, the youths of the town took to mischief. They would spend Halloween night building bonfires in the middle of the tunnel. With the smoke pouring out, the town itself was virtually blocked off from outside assistance. The tunnel served to keep the residents locked in for the night. From there, the nightmare continued. There would be rocks thrown through windows, buildings and vehicles set on fire, and other acts of damaging mischief. The dirty deeds would carry on throughout the night, but by the following day, things returned to normal. It was like a real life “Purge” movie. In recent years this activity has for the most part gone away, but many of the locals still tell stories of those horrific nights. Sabrina Daniels, known locally as the “Mountain Medium,” and a host of others interested in the paranormal happenings at the tunnel including the “Relate with Nate” television crew, a local news show, hoped to make contact with that energy during a recent investigation at the infamous 3,327-foot tunnel. Countless times they entered in, both on foot and in vehicles, to the dark, dank, stone tube cut through the hill. Countless times they called on the spirits within to make them aware of their presence as they dealt with leaking water and enhanced echoing of even the quietest voice. And, if the evidence is any indication, countless times they were successful.  “I can feel the emotions of the souls here,” Daniels  said while taking a break between one of the many trips in and out of the tunnel on the night of the ghost hunt. “I feel sadness, but I felt peace with them. I didn't feel any doom or anything, except in the middle (of the tunnel). What I felt there wasn't anything that has tasted life. There's a difference there. I've always felt the negative energy through the middle.” since things went down that they claim were paranormal. A light flickered, then came on and shut off, seemingly by itself here. Strange audio picked up through the wireless mics there. The sound of a train whistle, although no railroad line is anywhere in the immediate vicinity, echoed through its expanse. Eerie images caught on photos taken within the tunnel's claustrophobic walls showing what appear to be flames rising up from beneath. What appeared to be shadows of workmen, perhaps even the image of a lantern in what could be construed as the window of a train show up in the far distance. As the crew nears the tunnel's midsection, all notice an extreme and sudden drop in temperature, a tell-tale sign of the presence of poltergeists, or what the locals refer to as “haints.” So yea another creepy tunnel. I guess it makes sense there are a bunch of creepy haunted tunnels given the fact that there are mountains everywhere in WV.   Next up is a bird… It's a plane...it's a uh...UFO? We are talking about the Flatwoods monster! The encounter made the local and national news, scaring a wider swath of people. Then it prompted a U.S. Air Force UFO inquiry, part of a project called Project Blue Book that dispatched a handful of investigators around the country to look into such claims. The May brothers Ed, 13, and Freddie, 12, had been playing in their schoolyard with their 10-year-old friend Tommy Hyer. After noticing a pulsing red light streak across the sky and crash on a nearby farm, the three youngsters ran to grab the Mays boys' mother, then high-tailed it up that hill to check out where the light had landed. A few other boys, one with a dog, showed up too.   They ran back down—in sheer and credible terror.    “Seven Braxton County residents on Saturday reported seeing a 10-foot Frankenstein-like monster in the hills above Flatwoods,” a local newspaper reported afterward. “A National Guard member, [17-year-old] Gene Lemon, was leading the group when he saw what appeared to be a pair of bright eyes in a tree.”   Lemon screamed and fell backward, the news account said, “when he saw a 10-foot monster with a blood-red body and a green face that seemed to glow.” It may have had claws for hands. It was hard to tell because of the dense mist. Lemon said he aimed a flashlight in that direction and momentarily saw a tall "man-like figure with a round, red face surrounded by a pointed, hood-like shape". The group said they had smelled a "pungent mist" and some later said they were nauseated.    “Those people were the most scared people I've ever seen,” said local newspaper publisher A. Lee Stewart, in that 1952 news story. Stewart himself had marched up that hill with a shotgun after witnesses told what they saw. “People don't make up that kind of story that quickly,” Stewart said then.   According to UFO writer Gray Barker's account, the next day, A. Lee Stewart, Jr. of the Braxton Democrat claimed to discover "skid marks" in the field and an "odd, gummy deposit" which were subsequently attributed by UFO enthusiast groups as evidence of a "saucer" landing.   After investigating the case in 2000, Joe Nickell of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry concluded that the bright light in the sky reported by the witnesses on September 12 was most likely a meteor, that the pulsating red light was likely an aircraft navigation/hazard beacon, and that the creature described by witnesses closely resembled an owl. Nickell suggested that witnesses' perceptions were distorted by their heightened state of anxiety. Nickell's conclusions are shared by a number of other investigators, including those of the Air Force.    Fuck that… It was a UFO and an alien. We all know this! In celebration of the legend, the Braxton County Convention and Visitors Bureau built a series of five tall chairs in the shape of the monster to serve as landmarks and visitor attractions. The town of Sutton also houses a museum dedicated to the monster legend and offers promotional merchandise.    Now you're gonna need some place to stay while checking out all these creepy things… So why not a creepy hotel? How about the Glen Ferris Inn? The Glen Ferris Inn began its life in 1839 when Andrew Stockton received a license to operate a "common room" to cater to the stagecoach traffic through the area.  Prior to that year, the site probably contained a home as early as 1810, which at some point partially burned, and was reconstructed as Stockton's Inn.   In 1853, the common room expanded into what is now the Glen Ferris Inn.  During the Civil War, soldiers from both sides stayed at the inn, as did two future presidents of the United States.  It is rumored that the home even served as a makeshift Civil War hospital between 1863 and 1865.   After the war, aluminum production began in the area, and Union Carbide purchased the inn, expanding it with a 10 room wing in 1929.  Additions were built in the 1960s and again in the 1980s, before a local family purchased the inn from Elkem Metals in 1996.    The inn is thought to be haunted by a ghost of a Confederate soldier with a long beard, nicknamed The Colonel. He is a friendly and playful ghost, known to close doors behind people, make the birdbath water bubbly and frothy, and walk around with audible footsteps. His apparition has been seen from the waist up.   In 2018, a young couple stayed several days there and planned to have breakfast with the day manager when they were departing. The manager was told by the desk clerk that the couple departed in haste at 4:30 that morning and left an apology for missing the planned breakfast. The reason?   They had awakened in the night and saw a man with a long beard who was wearing what appeared to be a uniform sitting in a chair across the room.   Another story we found goes as follows: " I have worked there in the past (2002) and it was one of the experiences that I had that caused me to quit on the spot. I was a waitress in the dining room and it was around 7:30pm. There was no one in the dining area when I first looked but all of a sudden a little boy in a grey civil war type suit was sitting at one of the tables. I walked over to him and asked him if he was waiting for someone and he shook his head no. I asked if I could get him something and he said in almost a whisper "chocolate milk, ma'am" I walked into the kitchen and got his milk, brought it back to the table and he was gone. I asked the cook if he had seen anyone come in and he said that he didn't, so I then went up front and asked the desk clerk if she seen anyone and she said no as well. I realized that it was a ghost kid. I told my manager that I was done, I couldn't deal with ghosts, grabbed my stuff, and high-tailed it out of there as fast as I could."   Creepy! Sounds like a place you should check out. Apparently their rolls are fucking fantastic.. So there is that too.   What creepy place would be complete without a Creepy road! Well West Virginia has route 901. West Virginia Route 901 is a 5.5 mile stretch through farmland in Berkeley County. Formerly known as County Route 3, locals are familiar with this short state highway. However, it has been immortalized in publications like Haunted West Virginia: Ghosts & Strange Phenomena of the Mountain State as a destination full of ghostly activity. The area wasn't a battle site, but may have been a campsite for soldiers during the Civil War.        In the recent past a couple was driving Route 901 near Spring Mills Plantation late one evening in October. Near Harlan Run the couple entered a bank of fog and the interior of the car became quite cold. The fog began to take on a greenish hue and suddenly, the car came to a stop; the engine went dead and the headlights shut off. The couple was left in cold, silent darkness.   From out of the darkness the couple was stunned to see the form of a bedraggled Confederate soldier appear. He held his back as if he'd been wounded and he appeared to notice the couple as he neared the front of their car. With a thump he laid his hands on the hood and peered pleadingly before collapsing leaving bloody handprints on the car. The husband opened his door and walked to the front of the car to help the pathetic figure who now lay prone in the roadway. When he reached out to the poor soldier the figure disappeared along with the bloody handprints. The couple quickly left vowing never to drive that stretch of road in the dark. Another plus about this road is the fact that the Hammond Mansion is located there. The Hammond Mansion was built between 1838 and 1845, and was home to Dr. Allen C. Hammond and his family.  It was an L-shaped brick federal style building.  It is rumored that another family lived on the property in the 1700s, but was attacked by bears.   The Hammonds were among the few Confederate supporters in an area which was largely under Union occupation.  While Dr. Hammond and his sons were off fighting in the War (his son George was with Company B 1st Virginia Confederate Calvary and died during the war), the ladies remained in the home.   Legend states that during this time, the ladies shot, sniper-style, several Union soldiers.  As a result, the ladies were captured and locked into the brick, windowless slave shack on the property.  The order was given to get rid of the women, meaning to take them out of the area, but the order was misinterpreted, and indeed, the women were gotten rid of.  Fire was set to the slave shack, killing them all.   Also during this era, the home served as a Civil War hospital.  When a typhoid epidemic broke out, victims were sent here, and quarantined on the summer porch.   In 1978, a fire gutted the home, leaving little more than a brick shell.  In its state of disrepair, the home became a favorite shelter for the homeless population, and one vagrant did freeze to death in the area of the summer kitchen.   It  is this homeless man, and the women who tragically died in the fire, who are said to still roam the grounds of the mansion.   The house WAS eventually restored, and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Spring Mills Historic District, listed as for sale.  Also in the district is another haunted location, the Stephens-Hammond Mill at Falling Waters.  It is said that the mill, once used by Gen. Jackson, was home to ghostly lights and sounds coming from the second and third stories of the mill, even though the floors of the upper levels were rotted away.  The mill is now torn down. So there you get a nice little 2 for 1!   We're gonna throw some quick hitters in here for ya now!    Screaming Jenny: Legend,  has it that Jenny, a poor woman with no family, lived in a shed along the B&O Railroad in Harpers Ferry. She barely had enough money to eat, and the shed stayed cold during the winter months. One day in late autumn Jenny was drinking broth over a fire and trying to stay warm. She was so focused on the broth that she didn't notice a spark had flown up from the fire and caught her skirt on fire. Her skin started to burn, she leapt up and threw the rest of the broth onto the flames, but it did little to put it out. She began to run along the train tracks to Harpers Ferry station, trying to find someone to help her, but it wasn't long until her entire body was alight with fire. Overwhelmed and screaming in pain, she mistakenly rushed onto the tracks, when a train came around the corner and ran her over. To this day, every year on the anniversary of her death, an engineer has rounded the corner to the station and seen a women completely on fire and seems to be hit by the train. When the train stops, there's nobody there! It's now one of the most haunted places in West Virginia!   The Red House is an imposing 2.5 story brick structure located in Eleanor, WV.  The original structure was built around 1840 by the Ruffner family, but there is reason to believe that the house may have actually been built as early as 1825.  The house, with its converted slave quarters and North and South Wings added by the Federal Government during the 1930s, now is home to the Eleanor Town Hall offices.  The right (North) wing, serves as the town hall section, while the left wing (South) serves as the Homestead Room, available for rent for parties, meetings, etc.  The original middle section of the house is being readied for a future museum dedicated to its New Deal Homestead history.   The town of Eleanor took possession of the Red House, or Ruffner House as it is commonly called, in January of 2001.  Earliest records from the Eleanor town website say that the structure was home to the Samuel Earl Gibeaut family in the 1890s.  In the 1920s, it was owned by Frank Fitzsimmons, then passed to his brother Chris and family.  While Chris and his family briefly moved out of state, a family of Boldens lived in the Red House.  Chris returned to the home, and then sometime it was acquired by the C.H. King family.  C.H. King and his wife Ruth had a large family and farmed the land.  The King family was living on the property at the time of the New Deal, and the home was acquired by the Federal Government.  In 1946, the government deeded the title over to the Washington Homesteads for use as an administration building, and later, it came into possession of Dr. Lyle Moser.   With a long and somewhat incomplete history as to ownership of the house, legends of this structure abound.  One legend states that a slave was murdered on the uppermost staircase landing.  Another legend states that tunnels run from the house to the nearby Kanawha River, as part of an Underground Railroad stop.  To date, evidence of such tunnels has never been found.  However, one legend DOES seem to make itself known to employees and visitors.  That legend is the ghostly overseer, protector, or guardian angel of the Red House.  Employees have dubbed him "Sam," and say that Sam likes to be heard, but not seen.   In recent years, however, it appears as if Sam, or perhaps some other resident ghost, DOES like to be seen!  Eleanor citizens walking along the town's sidewalks past dusk have been reporting seeing a man standing in one of the upper windows of the Red House.   Next…   The Captain's House, located on Juliana Street in Parkersburg's historic district, was built by George Deming, prior to 1860.  George was born in Connecticut in 1806, and was an accomplished Master Mariner.  Shortly before the Civil War, Deming left New England, and took his young family to Parkersburg, where he built at least two homes.   This home, sometimes referred to as the "Markey House," is the oldest, and is built in a classic New England style, with a small front yard, and narrow halls and a low ceiling, reminiscent of a ship.   Deming passed away in 1861, possibly due to the typhoid epidemic which was sweeping the area.  Deming's young son also passed away sometime during this time period.  Both are buried two blocks from the house in the Riverview Cemetery.  Deming's gravestone has an elaborate ship carving, and along with his birth and death dates bears the claim that he is a direct descendant of Myles Standish.  Unfortunately, the son's stone is too worn to accurately see the dates or name.   It is believed that  since Deming was in his 50s at his time of death, yet he had several young children, his wife was probably much younger.  There are no records of any other Deming's in the cemetery, so it is believed that she moved away shortly after the death of her husband and son, and remarried.   The Captain's Home has since then acquired a reputation for being haunted.  Rumors abound that subsequent owners have been driven mad while living in the home, which has undergone extensive renovations over the years.  While these rumors seem largely unsubstantiated, the home still has paranormal activity associated with it.  Workers restoring the home reported seeing a child's footprints in the dust in the attic, although no children lived in the home at the time. The dust was cleared, and several months later, the footsteps would reappear, although no children had even set foot in the closed off section.   Another strange anomaly seems to be the glow of a fire reflected in the home's windows.  People looking at the window see the reflection of orange flames whipping about, and other weird light anomalies, which are attributed to the Captain's pipe burning.   Oddly enough, the Captain isn't confined to his former home.  Residents have seen his apparition in various parts of town, often walking with his head down, and wearing a black overcoat.  He is seen at times in Riverview Cemetery, and some claim, even in the Blennerhassett Hotel.   Gotta have a bridge story right? The town of Wheeling, among other attributes, boasts the longest single span stone bridge in the United States.  The famous bridge:  The Main Street Bridge, constructed between 1890 and 1892.  Some sources say that bridge was constructed to replace an earlier bridge, one built in the 1840s.  There isn't much there to confirm this though.   In any event, the building or rebuilding in the late 1800s was quite a spectacle for the townspeople.  In an effort to enforce safety, a sign was erected which read "Danger! No one is allowed to loaf on this bridge by order of the Board of Public Works."  Pat Weir, the city's watchman, was giving the task of policing the bridge, and dealt with more than one smart-alec who insisted that they were loafing on their own free will, and not by order of the Board of Public Works, thus, it was okay for them to be there.   Whatever diligence was taken to ensure safety unfortunately couldn't prevent at least one fatal accident from occurring.  Dominick Carey, a contractor from the Paige, Carey & Co. of New York apparently fell from the bridge while heavy stones were being moved.  It has been theorized that the scaffolding gave way, and Carey fell into the icy Wheeling Creek, which feeds the Ohio River, being swept away.     Carey's body was never found, but that doesn't mean he was never heard from again...Witnesses say they encounter the apparition of the unlucky contractor on the bridge, as well as another possible spirit.    Allegedly, either the new bridge or the bridge it supposedly replaced, saw another tragic accident.  A gentleman leading a team of horses across the bridge stopped to fix a loosened hitch.  When he dismounted, he spooked his own horses, and they trampled him to death.  Witnesses have reported being approached by a man who asks "Have you seen my horses?"   Ok one more for you and we'll wrap this up! This next one is a little church with some cool stories. St. Colman Catholic Church is located about 15 miles away from Hinton, in an area of Irish Mountain named Sullivan's Knob.  Maurice Sullivan was the first settler in the area, purchasing 435 acres of land from the Gwinn Family in 1855.  The following year he was joined by the Quinlan family, and then several other Irish families.  Together, they turned the small, isolated community into a thriving Irish farm settlement.   The community  was largely of the Roman Catholic faith, and church services were held in private homes, provided once a month by a traveling preacher from St. Patrick's in Hinton.  The community pushed for a church of their own, and in 1876, Sullivan deeded over 1 acre of land to Bishop Joseph J. Kain for use as a church and a cemetery.  The cemetery unfortunately came first, as in that same year, John Quinlan passed away and was buried on the grounds.   The church was built the following year and consisted of a hewn log structure.  The cemetery is unique in that it has a "Lost Souls" corner for unbaptized babies.  The name St. Colman comes from a Gaelic saint, and the church became known as the "little Catholic church on Irish Mountain."   The church never did gain its own preacher, and continued to receive services through St. Patrick's in Hinton.  In 1928, the church was refurbished.  Clapboard painted white was erected over the hewed logs.  In 1983 it became a registered historical site.   Visitors to the church in recent years have reported unexplained cold spots and cold mists that are actually seen.  Some have reported these cold mists will take an almost human shape, and that sometimes they will stop and pause on pews by visitors, as if sitting beside them.    Paranormal groups have investigated and found numerous things. There are stories of small children's ghosts in the lost souls area of the graveyard. They also report sounds of children crying or laughing. There are stories of objects like balls being moved. Again stories of figures sitting in the pews. Sounds like a cool creepy little place.    So with all those stories you may be wondering why we didn't talk about the more well known haunts like Harpers Ferry or the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic asylum and others like that. Well if you've listened to our other creepy episodes you'll know we like to find less talked about stuff to explore. With the history of this state going back as far as it does and all the strife and hotties of the civil war in the area, it's no wonder there are tons and tons of creepy and supposedly haunted places in west Virginia. We are definitely coming back for seconds here and we actually have a couple of the spots in this state on our actual list of episodes, so we'll definitely be back to West Virginia.    Top ten horror movies set in west Virginia   https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=west-virginia

On this week's Bachelor recap, Marni and Chris agree that Queen Victoria’s exit was a great example of what you don’t do when someone breaks up with you, that mean girl syndrome should be cancelled, and the Pretty Woman-inspired shopping date was an attempt to cause a disruption among the girls.    Key takeaways from this episode:  Mean girl culture should be cancelled How to be rejection proof Cinderella-type behavior is an out-dated fairy tale How to recognize an issue-based relationship   Why is Talking Bad About Each Other Still a Thing?  [2:08]  Marni voices her displeasure in the language the girls use to describe each other. The young women on the show seem to be leaking their insecurities all over the place. The mean girl thing should be cancelled. Is it real or an overproduced drama to keep people watching? Marni points out that women who speak poorly of others have low self-worth, and have not had their needs met. Chris admits he thinks that’s how all women are.    If you have drama in your life, are jealous, or if you compare yourself to others you have unresolved wounds. Finally, Matt booted Queen Victoria. She seems shady anyway. Chris and Marni consider that she may not have been being herself and only playing a character. Maybe her Instagram followers increased, but she was over the top with bad acting on the show.    Marni’s Tips on How to be Rejection Proof:  Have a core philosophy. Know that dating is a process and the universe has your back.   Rejection is not a rejection of your worthiness or lovability.  What do you learn from the relationship? If you haven't resolved the issues that are getting you stuck you will have the same result.   Issue-based Relationships [19:49] While Chris blushes when he thinks about Rachel, Marni admits she was grossed out by the shopping date incident on the show. The 'Pretty Woman' syndrome of expecting a guy to express his interest because he buys you stuff is so... 1990.     If you remember, Rachel said earlier she thought Matt was out of her league. Chris thinks they were trying to make her feel better by showering her with things to build her self-worth and make her feel better. Matt is attracted to her because he, too, is emotionally unavailable.    Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Matt, Chris and Nick address the fact that Brian Cashman must be listening. In addition to resigning DJ LeMahieu, the Yankees sign Corey Kluber. Did Uncle Steven force the Yanks hand? As the New York baseball teams make big moves, the Red Sox stay put and hope to rebuild as Chaim Bloom did many times in Tampa. While Chris and Nick discuss recent baseball history, Matt offers to sell his fanship for a price of course. Then the gang gets right into the NFL Divisional Round. It seems the bye week served the Packers well, as Rodgers passes for almost 300 yards and the Packers backfield adds an additional 180+ yards on the ground. Aaron Rodgers gets his wish as the Super Bowl runs through Lambeau. After that, we get into the game we live streamed on Facebook. For those of you who joined, Thank you!!! The wagons were circled in Buffalo once again. The Bills defense and the wind stifles Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense holding them to only 3 points. While the Bills D gets a touchdown of their own. Chris feels vindicated that Lamar, although a great playmaker, is not a great QB. There’s only one person who had a worse game, debatably the best kicker in the NFL, Justin Tucker. Although the Browns kept trying to give the game away, they are given the opportunity of a lifetime. Mahomes gets knocked out of the game in the 3rd quarter, the Browns pull within 5 points and get the ball back with 8:00 left in the game. One 1st down later and a punt, they never see the ball again. On 3rd and 14, Henne runs for 13 yards to make it a 4th and 1. The Chiefs elect to go for it, convert and ice the game. Now, will Mahomes be back in time for the AFC Championship game? The game Roger was waiting for but apparently did not attend. Brady vs. Brees, a heavyweight matchup turned into a 1st round knockout. Brees looked all but washed up as Brady made timely throws and limited his mistakes. For the first time in his career, Brady will be advancing to the NFC Championship game. While the Saints have big questions to answer this offseason. Does Brees retire? If so, who replaces him? Overall, unlike the Wildcard round, the gang is on a heater with their Divisional picks: Matt: 7/8 Chris 6/8 Nick 4/8 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This week Steve and Chris are back to their comic book roots to discuss Wandavision. While Chris breaks all the podcast rules and watches both episodes and reads theories, Steve comes in fresh. We discuss lots of Comic Books, Avengers Disassembled, House of M and Tom King's Vision Series. Also crossovers and 30 second pitches for new streaming networks (like Wandavision, the all Wanda Sykes streaming service)

In this week's Pixels and Ink Podcast: Jordan, Chris and Clement sit down to talk about the endless possibilities that can be anticipated from the creation of LucasFilm Games. While Chris and Clement beam with speculations about possible games, Jordan isn't particularly optimistic about the first two offerings. Afterwards, the gang talks a little about the Super Mario 3D World: Bowser's Fury gameplay trailer.

In the last episode Chris and Jerry narrowed down their argument to the scene where Matt Damon's character "Colin" warns Jack Nicholson's character "Costello" to shut off their phones. Chris felt that it was a little too obvious that Colin was the mole and didn't like that no one was suspicious. After they both watched the film again, Jerry couldn't wait to talk to Chris and refresh their conversation from last time. Jerry was quite certain that an apology was needed and was more than happy to enumerate all the ways the past transgression could be amended. Chris and Jerry both discuss what their misconceptions were. The film had so many layers that both saw and learned new things after the subsequent viewing. Jerry admits that having closed caption on helped clear up one of the scenes that confused him. While Chris still held to some of his convictions, he admitted that he misremembered some elements that brought him to his original conclusions. In the end, both still loved the film and felt the both walked away with a better understanding of each others point of view. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I sit down with one of the world's great powerlifters, Chris Duffin, to talk about...business! I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this conversation. Chris and I both have so much excitement when it comes to talking about business and success and how to achieve it that we could have easily done 2 hours. Known as the "Mad Scientist of Strength Training" this dude is an absolute brute, being the only person to have deadlifted AND squatted 1000 lbs for reps! He is the owner of kabukistrength.net, as well as four other successful companies right here in my home city of Portland. Oregon. While Chris's physical achievements are amazing, I was much more interested in his even more amazing life story and business accomplishments. Among other things we discuss growing up in poverty and neglect, and some of the keys that helped him escape that life and find success. How mistakes are critical to finding success and learning from the mistakes even more valuable. How Chris got into business for himself, his early experiences as an entrepreneur, and what he thinks about "wantrepreneurs!" Growing up in poverty, with zero advantages and little direction, does not mean you don't have a chance. Chris shows, with his own life story, what is possible when you combine a rock-solid mindset with an unequaled work ethic.   Join us in our Facebook group "The Successful Mindset" and start up a conversation!

Today’s guest, Chris Sadlier, has worked in advertising for 25 years. He’s currently  Creative Director for a Detroit-based advertising firm, GTB, an affiliate of WPP, one of he largest advertising agencies in the world. He’s worked throughout the country and the world on ad agencies large and small creating collaborating on print, tv and now digital advertising. My instagram feed is exactly like my brain—scattered and broad. It runs from images and reels of idyllic travel destinations with waterfalls and mountains, runners on trails, depictions of van life, to accounts of my friends’ kids being cute between zoom school classes or their pets stealing the show, to artist friends displaying their latest work, to tons of architecture and design articles. In between are advertisements. I have to admit some have hooked me too. I’ve bought healthy snacks from the tropical rain forest, smoothie powders from a nutrition company, workout shorts and sneakers, cleaning products, even these nifty tablets that dissolve into toothpaste. And it’s not just Instagram. My Facebook page has ads too; when I look up certain products I’ve been curious about, the companies follow me onto both my Facebook page and the online pages when I’m reading the New York Times or local news too. It's election season and I’ve been thinking about ads quite a bit lately. I grew up in the 1970’s in a different era of advertising. Advertising was carefully regulated and a place with incredible creativity. Today we are barraged with an unending array of commercials before, during and following programs so that in 30 minutes you get 15 minutes of ads. Social media is so packed with ads that every other post is a an ad for something.That’s the thing about online advertising. It’s less generic and much more tailored, which to me is a bit scary. Especially after the release of two documentaries on Netflix, 2019’s “The Great Hack”  and more recently, “The Social Dilemma.” The Great Hack, explains the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal and how millions of data points were collected and specific information was filtered to people’s Facebook feeds to influence both the 2016 US elections and the  Brexit in the UK. Even scarier is The Social Dilemma, which details the specific use of advertising and content on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other platforms to keep us hooked and to boldly affect our opinions and our behaviors and to generate millions of ad revenue dollars for the platforms. If you haven’t seen the film I recommend you watch it and watch it with your kids if they are into social media. This discussion is far ranging and I warn you, it gets political at times. While Chris' focus is his main client, Ford, he is an astute observer of trends, both in advertising and culture and he brings it all here.  Hope you enjoy today's conversation. LINKS:Chris, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/csadlier212/The Great Hack, Netflix: https://youtu.be/iX8GxLP1FHoThe Social Dilemma, Netflix: https://youtu.be/uaaC57tcci0Jude Law for Johnny Walker Blue ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWEv2Z2e9NEAlexander Skarsgård for Calvin Klein: https://youtu.be/Udk6uinLkIkFunny Jeep commercial: https://youtu.be/p_CvNP64g4g

Hosts Ron and Chris welcome you to today’s episode! This episode of Hacker Valley Studio is the start of a new season, Hacker Valley Blue, a series dedicated to threat intelligence, exclusively for listeners.The episode begins with Ron and Chris sharing their backgrounds in threat intelligence and cybersecurity. Chris picked intelligence as his job field in the United States Marine Corps, and eventually went on to The National Security Agency and United States Cyber Command. He focused on the how, who, and what of all the cyber-attacks happening at the time. Chris then went on to create his own company, and do consulting work in threat intelligence for over a decade.Ron has always had an interest in cybersecurity, and at 16 he found a mentor who took him under his wing in the trade. After a couple of years working in offensive attacks, he transitioned to a job building intelligence tools that dealt with threat data. While Chris focused more on the operational side of threat intelligence, Ron’s was more technical, and their experience converged well.Throughout the rest of the episode, you will hear about what threat intelligence can do for businesses. Ron and Chris discuss how analysts can build rapport with the employees and stakeholders using their intelligence, and what questions companies should ask of analysts for the best results. They do this by walking listeners through Chris’ EASY framework.1:07 - The new season of Hacker Valley Blue is introduced.3:43 - Chris shares his background in intelligence.6:15 - Ron shares his background in intelligence11:43 - What can threat intelligence do for an organization?17:50 - The EASY Framework18:41 - Elicit Requirements21:40 - Asses Collection Plan26:03 - Strive for Impact30:24 - Yield the FeedbackLinks:Learn more about Hacker Valley StudioSupport Hacker Valley Studio on PatreonFollow Hacker Valley Studio on TwitterFollow Ronald Eddings on TwitterFollow Chris Cochran on TwitterLearn more about the episode sponsor, RiskIQ

While Chris, Rob and John may have some of the details wrong, the following are mostly correct:  Rob becomes an NBA Fan, the pros and cons of the speed of information, medieval obituaries, a Houston-eyed view of Hurricane Laura just prior to landfall, the History Channel's "The Food That Built America", Seth Rogen's "American Pickle", Jim Belushi's new series on the Discovery Channel, the passing of Power Trip's Riley Gale, Fates Warning's new single and a website to obtain rare and limited beer.

What does teaching Marines how to escape an upside-down helicopter sinking in water, have to do with corporate safety? Quite a lot in the case of Chris Moulden. In this episode of No Accident, host Kathleen Finato speaks with Chris who is Corporate Safety Director at ARB, a subsidiary of Primoris. On any given day, Chris — who is a two-time winner of the safety director of the year award — oversees between 35 to 45 safety professionals in the field.Earlier in his career, Chris worked as an advanced dive medic for the Marines, teaching troops how to survive when their helicopter hits the water. Seeing the Marines return from war — sometimes injured — made a big impression on Chris. It has informed his approach to safety ever since.   “We all come to work every day to make a couple of bucks. But that couple bucks is all it is unless you utilize it towards something that's really valuable to you, and for the most part that's usually our family and our friends,” Chris says reflecting on what has stuck with him. “If we don't cross the T's and dot the I's and use a checklist or do the things we know how to do ‘em … it's our family and our friends who are going to be affected the most.”While Chris likes to point out that safety comes back to the heart, he’s an expert when it comes to translating the value of safety for others — sometimes that means bringing it back to the bottom line. For executives, he likes to show the worth safety can bring. “When you're safe, you're more methodical, which leads to more quality which may lead to more production,” he explains. While safety absolutely needs to be “bolstered by an extreme commitment from leadership," Chris acknowledges that ultimately safety is an individual's responsibility. “Truly safety is about … your individual conscious decision making.”Featured Guest

This is the 3rd episode Chris Ryan has been on, and we’ve only done 5 episodes. What’s up with that? Simple. He’s a great co-host and we have a lot of fun together - as it should be. Chris owns Ryan Video Productions. As he says on his website, “Let’s do some good work together!” He means it, as evidence by his client testimonials and the people I’ve talked to who’ve used his services.  Chris and I share a love for music. We’ve both been involved in the seen for years. While Chris worked in a radio station DJ’n several shows, I started behind a mic producing podcasts before it was called podcasting. Back then, it was often called “audio blogging.” So yes, this episode is largely dominated by talking about the musicians, bands, and experiences we’ve had along the way. But don’t worry, Chris will let you know how best to prepare for your video shoot BEFORE you hire the videographer.  Topics, Mentions, and Links to All The Music Chris listened to Spotify’s “Discover Weekly” and discovered Thomas Dolby’s album “Flat Earth.” The Flat Earth is the second album by Thomas Dolby. It was released in February 1984, peaking at #14 on the UK Albums Chart. The first single from the album was "Hyperactive!", which peaked at #17 in the UK Singles Chart, making it Dolby's highest-charting single in his home country. ~ Wikipedia.

As we tinker with the schedule, and because Alex and Chris are missing going to the cinema due to the lockdown, we’ve recorded a mini-episode reminiscing about good times - and not-so-good times - at the movies. Alex has awkward exchanges with beautiful actresses at a pair of premieres, gets annoyed by a carrier bag full of crisps at another screening, and has The Blair Witch Project spoiled for him at the death. While Chris casts his mind back to some classic summer blockbusters, meets Tommy Wiseau at the Prince Charles Cinema, has a lovely time watching Reservoir Dogs, and falls out with a toddler and a baby during Return of the King. And it’s back to business as usual next week, with Part 1 of each episode now hitting on a Monday, and Part 2 dropping on the Thursday!***Please rate and review us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Our guest on today’s episode of the podcast is Chris Sage. Chris is a creative professional who works in the visual effects industry in Los Angeles. Yes… that means he’s worked on Hollywood movies and television commercials you’ve probably seen. Chris is also a friend of mine who I first connected with over one of my main hobbies: tea. In fact, the idea for this podcast episode came from a virtual tea session Chris and I recently did together. You see, now that we’re all spending a lot more time in our homes due to the coronavirus, we’re all coming up with creative ways to connect with our friends, families, and colleagues at a distance. While Chris and I met for tea over Zoom, I got to hear a bit about what it’s been like for him to transition from working in an office everyday – to doing everything remotely. In this episode, Chris and I have a candid conversation about the challenges and the opportunities that remote work brings. We explore the pros and cons of how his work, relationships, communication, and project management style have changed. So, I invite you to go grab yourself a cup of tea and join us in our exploration of these topics. If you’re wondering how to adapt to life and business in the time of quarantine, this episode is for you.

We’ve reached Episode 10! This week, I chat with Chris Binnie about his son Henry, a dad’s perspective on loss, grief and pregnancy after loss and how health care professionals can support Dads better.Chris has so many words of wisdom particularly around things such as memory-making and society’s expectations of how men “should” grieve. While Chris is obviously talking from the perspective of a male parent, I’m sure some of what he says will also resonate with mums in a same-sex relationship who weren’t the parent carrying their baby.If you have a friend who is a midwife or doctor who comes across bereaved parents, I’d love it if you could share this episode with them. It definitely opened my eyes and made me think about things differently.In the interview we talk about:Chris’s experience of losing his first child, his son, Henry. (7:47)How midwives and other professionals can better support dads after loss and the importance of making memories vs being given memories. (20:57)Bottling up grief and how society’s expectations can affect how men grieve. (32:56)Chris’s experience of pregnancy after loss and the stress of a complicated pregnancy, premature twins and parenting living babies. (41:35)Pinecones, Beyond Bea and why he chose to speak out about his experiences of baby loss. (54:05)You can find Chris on Instagram @pine_cones_and_study_days – he’d love to hear from other dads who’ve been affected by baby loss.Find out more about Beyond Bea at https://www.beyondbea.co.uk/.

Chris Hooper from Accodex joined us for this episode of Life In Accounting, the Where Accountants Go podcast.  In addition to being one of the most entrepreneurial guests we have had in a while, Chris lives in Adelaide, Australia, which makes him our first international guest for the show! Making money vs. keeping money Chris always had an interest in business, and happened on accounting as a career by necessity.  After starting his own business in the fitness industry, he quickly realized that keeping money wasn't as easy as making it, and therefore it would be a good idea to become more educated in that area.  It was at that point that a friend introduced him to accounting. Not your “typical” accountant Chris seems to have always been a “people person”.  From his early self-employment days, to his extra-curricular activities in college, and now to building the Accodex network, it's evident that he enjoys building relationships.  In addition, he definitely enjoys improving on how business is done.  While Chris definitely has the technical abilities that come with a background in accounting, he sees accounting more as the means to the end… an end of creating improvement in business. Just the beginning Something else that was evident in this interview was that even with all the ground that we covered, this is only the beginning.  Chris is 33 years old, and Accodex is only 4 years old.  While they have seen fast success, it's truly only starting to scratch the surface of what is possible.  In Chris' words, “…accountants have the ability to change the world…”, and it's obvious that Chris has that intention for himself and his companies as well.

Bryan and Chris are back with a World Pride hangover. While Chris was marching next to the Bravo float, Bryan was in Fire Island having unwanted penises flashed in his face by some guys being extra on the beach.

At 31:30 a listener writes in wondering how handle his boyfriend who is seemingly addicted to porn.

Chris Salem is a highly authentic person who for over four years has had a special passion for empowering and serving business leaders, entrepreneurs in various industries, sales executives, coaches, authors, speakers, and others, taking their business and life to another level. For many years, Chris has seen people aspiring to make changes and grow but struggled at different phases of their career and life. He is just like you, a regular person that has faced similar struggles. Chris shares from experience what has worked successfully through hard work and dedication to help in your challenges.While Chris has experienced much success over a 26-year career as a Senior Sales Executive selling media, aircraft, investing in businesses, and implementing residual income platforms, there also been major setbacks such as dealing with 12 years of addiction and battling with his own demons. Eventually, he found a way to address the addiction and issues that held him back from experiencing a higher level of prosperity where health & wealth are in alignment. This led to Chris’ mission to share and empower others to do the same so their businesses and personal lives could truly experience the meaning of prosperity on all levels.The solution always evolves out of the problem or challenge. The issue is that many people operate their business and lives in the effect of the “root cause” of their problems. They manage the effect but do not address the “root cause”. As a coach and accountability partner Chris works together with his clients to address their “root cause” then release it over time creating new and healthier habits that lead to prosperity in all areas.Chris also delivers world-class content to audiences as a speaker that is high-impact which shifts people toward positive action. The focus is on the “root cause” that leads to changes and results, thus moves the audience toward improving their business and personal life. Always coming from the heart and personal experience, the audience is able to draw their own conclusions as to what is required of themselves to come out of their comfort zone and strive toward prosperity.Unlike seminars or programs that scratch the surface, the focus is always on the audience to make changes by addressing the “root cause” that holds back their greatness. Chris is 100% committed to SERVING & TRAINING the audience versus SELLING just products and services.- https://christophersalem.comPlease do NOT hesitate to reach out to me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or via email mark@vudream.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markmetry/Twitter - https://twitter.com/markymetryMedium - https://medium.com/@markymetryFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/Humans.2.0.PodcastMark Metry - https://www.markmetry.com/Humans 2.0 Twitter - https://twitter.com/Humans2Podcast
