In 1699, eighteen years after La Salle had demonstrated the connection of the Mississippi with the Gulf of Mexico, by passing out at its mouth, Iberville succeeded in entering it from the Gulf. Ascending as far as the junction of Red River, he returned, and proceeded, by way of the Gulf, into Lake Pontchartrain. He formed a settlement and erected a fort, at Biloxi, which he left under the command of his brother Bienville, while he returned to France, to induce others to join the colony. Soon after he left, the new commander ascended the Mississippi as far as the present site of New Orleans. In returning, he met a British vessel of sixteen guns, under the command of Capt. Bard, who enquired the bearings of the great river, intimating that it was his intention to establish a colony upon its banks. Bienville, in reply, directed him to go farther west, and thus induced him to turn about; from which circumstance, the place of their meeting was called “The English Turn,” a name which it retains to this day.

Missy Rogers – Founder and President of Noble Plastics

Discover Lafayette

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 18, 2026 63:48

Discover Lafayette welcomes Missy Rogers, founder and president of Noble Plastics, an advanced manufacturing company headquartered in Grand Coteau, Louisiana. Noble Plastics is a remarkable Acadiana success story. What began in 2000 with one injection molding machine and Missy as the company's sole employee has grown into a sophisticated manufacturing operation specializing in precision injection molding, engineering and robotic automation. A mechanical engineer by training, Missy built Noble Plastics around a deceptively simple idea: solve difficult problems for customers and be willing to manufacture things others say cannot be done. But as Missy shares in our conversation, Noble's success has never been about one person.“It's never been about me, and it's never been something that can be achieved by an individual. I think the sooner you recognize that, the sooner you empower the capable people around you.” From Engineering to Entrepreneurship Missy grew up on the West Bank of New Orleans and earned her mechanical engineering degree from LSU. Today, she serves in advisory capacities at both LSU and UL Lafayette, and after three decades in the Lafayette area, she considers Acadiana home. Her grandfather, an engineer himself, had a profound influence on her life and leadership philosophy. He taught her to see herself as “a piece of the whole, not the head of the whole,” a lesson she continues to emphasize as Noble develops new managers and leaders. Missy met her husband, Scott Rogers, while both were mechanical engineering students at LSU. She describes herself as the analytical engineer and Scott as the creative, visionary engineer. Their complementary strengths eventually helped launch Noble Plastics. In the late 1990s, both were working in the energy sector when Scott recognized opportunities to use advanced plastics in applications traditionally dominated by steel. The automotive industry was already turning to lightweight materials to reduce weight and cost, and Missy and Scott both saw potential for the same transition in energy and defense. Plastics could offer properties particularly useful in demanding applications: chemical neutrality, electrical insulation, lighter weight and the ability to replace certain metal components. There was skepticism. Missy remembers being told some of their ideas simply couldn’t be done. But that became part of Noble’s niche. “Sometimes it takes a visionary who doesn't see the limits, like my husband. And then a person like myself who will say, ‘Yeah, I believe in you. I'll support this. Let's find a way.'” Building a Company and a Family at the Same Time Noble Plastics’ first home was the rear of a rented building in an industrial park off Ambassador Caffery. Missy had a detailed five-year business plan, but life quickly reminded this self-described planner that not everything fits neatly into a spreadsheet. She and Scott already had two young children when Missy unexpectedly became pregnant with their third. Her attorney and accountant jokingly pointed out that there was nothing on page 17 of her carefully constructed business plan about having a baby in the third quarter. Her son spent much of his first year in a Pack ‘n Play in her office. Missy recalls holding him while a client signed a contract, handing the baby to the client, and then signing the agreement herself. That experience helped define the kind of people Noble wanted to work with: clients who valued relationships, local jobs and a company that understood their industries. What Exactly Does Noble Plastics Make? Noble is not making disposable cups, water-bottle caps or other commodity plastic products. The company occupies a highly specialized precision manufacturing space. In injection molding, solid plastic pellets are heated under pressure until the material flows, injected into a precision mold and then cooled back into a solid form. Depending upon the material, temperatures can reach the 500-, 600- or even 700-degree range. And these are not necessarily ordinary plastics. Noble works with specialty materials containing glass fiber, carbon fiber, nanotubes and other components engineered for strength, durability, heat management and insulating properties. Missy offers a wonderfully understandable description of the highly sophisticated equipment Noble Plastics operates: “They are like giant hot glue guns.” The difference is what comes out of those “hot glue guns.” Noble Plastics manufactures precision components used in energy, defense, solar, sporting goods and other industries, often creating parts the average consumer will never see. “What we make really matters in the programs that they go into,” Missy says. “And there's a sense of pride for that.” Perhaps no story better illustrates the breadth of Noble’s work than one Missy recalls from about 15 years ago. On the same day, Noble’s smallest machine was producing super-glue extender caps used to attach fake fingernails, while its largest machine was manufacturing components for a TOW missile launcher. “That's about as wide a spectrum of markets and clients” as you can imagine. Why Plastics Matter to Louisiana Missy also offers a fascinating perspective on an economic opportunity Louisiana has historically left on the table. When Noble was founded, she recalls Louisiana ranking at or near the top nationally in the manufacture of plastic materials because of the state’s enormous petrochemical industry. Louisiana plants produced polyethylene, polypropylene and other materials derived from petroleum and natural gas. Yet much of that material left Louisiana before being converted into finished products. Missy believes manufacturing provides an opportunity to close more of that supply chain loop within Louisiana, particularly as companies increasingly focus on reshoring and domestic production. “I think it's going to be a beautiful age for Louisiana economic development to recover our manufacturing base.” Noble’s $8.5 Million Expansion in Grand Coteau Noble is now entering another significant chapter. The company announced an $8.5 million expansion of its Grand Coteau headquarters to increase production capacity, including work for solar technology manufacturer First Solar. Noble will manufacture plastic housings that protect electrical components carrying energy from photovoltaic panels into electrical systems. At the time of our interview, Noble employed people numbering in the mid-to-high 60s, with Missy expecting that number to move into the mid-to-high 70s by the end of the year. She believes the company could surpass 100 employees next year. For a founder who once was the only employee, she admits that “100” is a slightly intimidating number. Those jobs aren’t limited to engineers. Noble employs setup technicians, quality technicians, maintenance personnel, production workers, warehouse employees, shipping and receiving staff, along with professionals in sales, accounting and other support roles. Missy is particularly proud of the opportunity Noble provides people who may never have imagined themselves working in advanced manufacturing. “We're finding people who with very basic education are discovering they have some natural gifts, and we do what we can to further their education, certifications, to increase their earning power for themselves and their families.” How Katrina Led Noble Plastics to Grand Coteau Noble’s arrival in Grand Coteau came through an unexpected turn of events following Hurricane Katrina. The company had ordered a large molding machine that would not fit into its existing Lafayette facility. Missy had signed a performance contract and needed a larger building quickly. Noble made a full-price offer on a Lafayette property that would accommodate the new equipment. Then Katrina struck. Rather than receiving an acceptance, Missy says the real estate agreement was torn up and the property was relisted for five times its previous asking price. With a machine on the way and a contract to fulfill, she began searching desperately for another option. While regularly driving the I-49 corridor to visit her in-laws, she noticed a building along the frontage road in Grand Coteau. It wasn’t for sale. Missy approached the owner anyway, explaining who Noble Plastics was and the type of company she hoped to build: clean, safe manufacturing that could have a positive impact on a small community. The owner shared that vision, and they made a deal. Noble Plastics has been part of the Grand Coteau community ever since. Creating Opportunity Without Artificial Barriers Missy speaks passionately about workforce development and giving people an opportunity to discover talents they may not know they possess. Noble Plastics has a significant number of women in leadership, including in human resources, operations, quality control and production. Missy says the company doesn’t approach manufacturing jobs through assumptions about gender, formal education or previous experience. The trait that matters most is care. “If we get a person who is conscientious about their work, we're going to find a way for them.” Because Noble Plastics serves customers whose products often have important safety and performance requirements, employees must be meticulous, thorough and proud of the quality of their work. “There's opportunity for everybody,” Missy says. Robots Don’t Have to Take Human Jobs Robotics has been embedded in Noble’s manufacturing philosophy almost from the beginning. The company’s robots remove parts from molding machines, inspect them and perform repetitive processes with extraordinary consistency. Noble has self-integrated FANUC robotics for more than two decades and has also designed automation systems for other manufacturers for roughly 15 years. Missy challenges the familiar fear that automation simply eliminates human jobs. In manufacturing, she explains, robots are particularly useful for jobs described as “dirty, dumb or dangerous.” “Human dignity is beyond that. And so it's less about our robots taking our jobs away than it is, well, let's have people do the things that matter. And let's have robots pick and clip and twist and place.” For Noble, automation allows people to focus more heavily on judgment, quality and attention to detail while machines handle repetitive physical tasks. Engineering, AI and the Value of Human Judgment Missy remains an enthusiastic advocate for engineering as a career, particularly for young people wondering how artificial intelligence might reshape their futures. She doesn’t believe engineering will be replaced by AI. The software, simulations and analytical tools engineers use will undoubtedly become faster and more powerful. Noble itself relies on sophisticated software and simulations. But Missy still keeps graph paper and a pencil nearby. “I'm pretty old school,” she laughs. “My gray hair has been earned.” Ultimately, she believes human judgment and accountability remain essential in fields where public safety is involved. Serving the Federal Reserve Missy’s perspective on manufacturing, workforce development and the economy has also led to an extraordinary leadership role beyond Noble Plastics. She chairs the board of directors of the New Orleans Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. She readily admits she loves the work. A self-described “numbers nerd,” Missy says her involvement grew from opportunities to share what she was seeing in manufacturing, automation, capital investment and broader industry trends. Her Federal Reserve service has reinforced something she already believed deeply: economic development ultimately comes down to people and opportunity. Acadiana, she says, possesses a cultural willingness to say, “We can do this” and “I will try it.” And that matters when Louisiana competes for investment. “You can't wait for somebody to pick you and just sprinkle money into your community. You've got to want those companies to come in, because they've got to believe that you're going to help them become successful.” Missy believes Acadiana has precisely that kind of workforce. “Give us a shot.” The “Win, Win, Win” Philosophy One theme runs throughout our conversation with Missy: business doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game. She contrasts the “I have to win, so you have to lose” mentality she has sometimes encountered elsewhere with the collaborative approach she sees in Acadiana. “The best outcome is win, win, win. My company can win. My client's company can win. And the ultimate user of the product wins. Let's do this together.” That philosophy extends beyond Noble itself. A growing manufacturer needs trucking companies, boxes, uniforms, accounting, banking, technology services and countless other businesses. One company’s growth creates opportunities throughout the community. Missy Rogers wants young people to see a future for themselves here. “There's a lot of good companies. There's a lot of good opportunity. I want our students to stay here and find it here.” “Young people need to know and believe that they can trust in themselves and they can trust in the community. We want you to succeed. We want you to take your idea and manifest it into something that's going to have impact beyond your own vision.” From a 3D Printer to 10,000 Parts For inventors, Missy offers a practical lesson in how products move from an idea to mass production. Today’s affordable 3D printers have made it possible for almost anyone to experiment, prototype and create. She loves that accessibility because it encourages people to become makers again. But there comes a point when a successful invention outgrows the 3D printer. If you need five or twelve pieces, 3D printing may make perfect sense. If suddenly Walmart, Target or Amazon wants 10,000 of them, Missy says that’s when Noble’s phone should ring. Injection molding is a volume business because the precision steel molds themselves can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Once that investment is made, however, individual parts can be manufactured efficiently at tremendous scale. Noble has products for which it manufactures approximately a quarter-million units per week. And When Missy Isn’t Thinking About Manufacturing… She reads. A lot. Missy also loves to cook and has one particularly impressive creative pursuit: she makes and hand-paints chocolates. Think dark chocolate cherry bourbon truffles and brandy truffles, decorated by hand. And yes, the founder of Noble Plastics appreciates the irony. “I do have some excellent mold-making capabilities.” Believe That Things Are Possible Perhaps the most compelling aspect of our conversation with Missy Rogers is not injection molding, robotics or even the extraordinary growth of Noble Plastics. It is her belief in people. Her story is one of engineering and entrepreneurship, but also of family, mentors, employees, customers and a community willing to help one another succeed. Twenty-six years after that first machine arrived, she still talks less about what she has accomplished than about what becomes possible when talented people are given an opportunity.

Can Detroit run on Buffalo's front without Blake Miller and Christian Mahogany? Yes, the run game is there to attack, but losing two starters changes the approach. Detroit Lions right tackle Blake Miller and Detroit Lions left guard Christian Mahogany being out put more on Detroit Lions tackle Larry Borom and on the scheme. The Bills show 3-4 defensive looks that Detroit has historically attacked with the run. When Buffalo goes nickel and effectively pulls the nose tackle, leaving two lighter ends inside, the middle opens. That is prime to hit with downhill and duo concepts. As Jeff Risdon noted, Larry Borom is better in pass protection than in run blocking, which complicates straight-ahead volume runs. Expect some early cleat checks on the new grass, but weather is not a factor and mid-September in Buffalo is preferable to December. How should Jared Goff attack Buffalo's secondary? Quarterback Jared Goff, Detroit Lions, must control tempo and use play action to stress linebackers and safeties. There is space behind the second level and on backside throws. Buffalo's secondary deserves respect, but it is beatable when you manipulate their underneath defenders. That is where Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa can steal targets on in breakers and glance routes, and where the No. 2 tight end can be a real weapon. As Jeff Risdon noted, Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright fits the void-hunting role, especially off heavy looks that sell run and release late. The goal is to marry the run and play action so Jared Goff can attack windows without taking unnecessary risks. What must the defense do to keep this from becoming a track meet? Take the ball away and finish the chances. The mandate is to catch the interceptions and recover the fumbles. Houston forced four fumbles and recovered one against Buffalo, a missed opportunity that Detroit must avoid. Head coach Dan Campbell, Detroit Lions, will hammer assignment discipline and opportunism on the short week. Rookie head coach Joe Brady, Buffalo Bills, is familiar to Detroit's staff from New Orleans days, so there is no mystery in tendencies. These are two of the best offenses and not two of the best defenses, so the game trends toward a shootout unless Detroit converts takeaway chances and tightens red zone spacing. What is the betting outlook and Jeff Risdon's final score prediction? Jeff Risdon picks Buffalo 34-27. He initially wrote 31-27, then moved to a full touchdown margin. The spread shifted from 3.5 to between 5.5 and 6 at DraftKings on Thursday, with late money leaning Bills. New stadium energy and the condensed prep window favor Buffalo, and offensive line attrition raises Detroit's margin for error. As Jeff Risdon emphasized, the Lions can score if they control tempo and hit play action, but the decisive swing is finishing takeaways. Big picture, he still views Detroit as an 11 to 13 win team, making health and cleaner execution the priorities after tonight. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #buffalobills #jaredgoff #dancampbell #blakemiller #christianmahogany #larryborom #isaacteslaa #brockwright #joebrady #highmarkstadium #houstontexans #draftkingsspread #rungame #nickeldefense Learn more about your ad choices.

If something is missing, if something feels like it's missing, then you're probably not being true to yourself, right? You're not being your authentic self.Lesley Logan 0:12 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Brad Crowell 0:53 Take it away.Lesley Logan 0:56 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap for my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the authentic convo I had with Peter Kolat, also known as Polish Peter, in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause us now. Go back and listen to Polish Peter, and then come back and join us.Brad Crowell 1:15 Yeah, Polish Peter, I love it.Lesley Logan 1:15 I know. It's on his Zoom call. It says Polish Peter.Brad Crowell 1:18 That's what he calls himself. Yeah, he explained it in the episode. I kind of had a good chuckle, but yeah, a lot of fun.Lesley Logan 1:24 I mean, he's Polish.Brad Crowell 1:25 Well, there's that. I mean, I hope I would hope he's Polish. He better fucking be Polish if he's calling himself Polish. Lesley Logan 1:32 And he's not just Polish. He's from Poland. So there's that. All right. So today is September 17th. Here's the deal, guys. We're gonna get down and dirty because you know what? The day before recording this, I'm a little, I'm a little annoyed. So we're in on this stuff. It is whether or not people wanted to celebrate this day. There, we are celebrating it. It is National DEI Day.Brad Crowell 1:53 It's September 17th.Lesley Logan 1:54 That's right. It's September 17th. It is National DEI Day. National DEI Day champions our nation's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion every September 17th, sharing its date with Constitution and Citizenship. Wow, with Constitution and Citizenship Days. I wonder if the people who aren't into DEI have ever read the Constitution or taken a citizenship test. Anyways, it reinforces values of democracy and belonging. I am zesty today, and belonging. Communities nationwide are encouraged to wear blue and unite to celebrate equity in action. Discover resources, participate in discussions, and support initiatives that foster a truly inclusive society. So, Brad put some stuff together.Brad Crowell 2:36 Yeah, DEI. Here's what each word actually means, but completely stripped of political charge that's been layered with all of the craziness that's been happening.Lesley Logan 2:47 Okay, by the way, if anyone's triggered by the fact that we're talking about DEI, they're already gone. Brad Crowell 2:51 So yeah, this is probably already gone. Lesley Logan 2:53 Yeah, but this is for our people who needed to explain it to their family members. Brad Crowell 2:57 Well, yeah, I think it's really important. DEI is just this supercharged acronym. We told my dad that our government is going after people about. They've shut down grants to universities because the university has a DEI class. But what is DEI? What does that actually mean? Right. The D stands for Diversity. The E is Equity. The I is Inclusion. But D includes the presence of people with different backgrounds, identities, and experiences in a group or organization. So that's all different backgrounds, identities, and experiences. This includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic background. Right?Lesley Logan 3:42 Yeah. If you're poor.Brad Crowell 3:43 You're DEI, right? National origin, so that could certainly be people from another country. It could also mean religion, and also side note, every fucking person who's ever been in the military.Lesley Logan 3:56 Yeah, you're DEI. When we told my family member, we're like, you're DEI. I'm like, you are over 65, so that's an age thing. You are a veteran.Brad Crowell 4:07 Yep.Lesley Logan 4:08 DEI.Brad Crowell 4:09 Yeah.Lesley Logan 4:09 There it is. You are. I have a sweatshirt that says you're probably DEI too.Brad Crowell 4:14 Yeah. So that's the D. So E is designing systems so that outcomes aren't predetermined by someone's starting point, so it's not the same as equality, giving everyone the same thing, right? This is equity. Equity means adjusting for the fact that different people face different barriers.Lesley Logan 4:35 Yeah, I mean, if you grow up in a poor area of town in the U.S., that likely means that your school has less funding, which means if you're able to be a straight-A student in your school with less funding, equity means that they see you similarly to someone who went to a very high-end school versus like, "Oh well, you got a 3.8 at this school, but these people have 4.2's." No, they're like, "Oh hi, that's insane, that's amazing, whoa, we should look at that."Brad Crowell 5:08 Well, it's adjusting. Yeah, exactly. It's adjusting for the fact that there are different barriers of entry. Right? So that's what equity is.Lesley Logan 5:15 There's also a really interesting thing. You can see it on YouTube. It was going around during 2020 and 2021, where they just put people on a starting line and they ask them questions, right? Did you have this? Did you have that growing up? Did you have this growing up? And you have to take certain steps forward or backward, and then you look and you see people of different socioeconomic backgrounds and races often are behind other places, and it doesn't mean that we take these other people down. It's that we actually go, "Oh, we should actually account for that and give these people an opportunity to even the drawing, give them a better opportunity at life."Brad Crowell 5:52 I stands for Inclusion. Whether people who are present actually feel welcome, they feel heard, and they're able to participate fully, or whether they're just technically in the room, right? Making sure that everyone has a voice.Lesley Logan 6:06 It's like in the '80s, or I don't remember when they, for, "Oh well, that board has a woman on the board, but she doesn't ever get to talk, and her points are never listened to." Then it's not actually included.Brad Crowell 6:18 She's the talking woman on the board.Lesley Logan 6:19 Yeah.Brad Crowell 6:20 Right. Yeah. So who is included in DEI? This is where it often gets—I'm just going to sum it all up. This is often where it gets misunderstood. DEI frameworks were born out of civil rights and anti-discrimination work. So, in practice, the groups most often centered are Black, Latino, Hispanic, Indigenous, Asian, women, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and veterans. However, the framework itself is not exclusive to those groups. A white man from rural Appalachia with no college degree is considered diverse in a room full of Ivy League professionals, and equity would ask whether he has had the same shot at advancement. Right? So.Lesley Logan 7:02 But they would never tell that guy that.Brad Crowell 7:06 Okay, well, the political fight isn't really just about the definition; it's about whether these frameworks produce fair outcomes or create preferential treatment, right? That's the—that is where the argument is: Is it right for us to give a voice to the guy from Appalachia? Are we giving preferential treatment to him, or is it producing a fair outcome? And that's where, you know, that's now where opinion comes into play, right? It's about that and whether institutional programs built around DEI actually deliver on the premise or become performative checkbox exercises, right? So it's definitely easy to just turn into a checkbox exercise. This is where reasonable people land on different places.Lesley Logan 7:45 Yeah, I mean, look, I don't know that DEI mandates, the wrong word, but values in a company are always going to be perfect. I think everything is going to have flaws, and there's always going to be blind spots to different things just based on experiences, no matter where you land on the board, but I do think that punishing people because they have DEI as a value system or something that's important to them is wrong, and also just assuming that somebody who is of any of the things we said got there because they were just gifted a thing is just ignorant. Brad Crowell 8:22 It would also be wrong.Lesley Logan 8:24 It's wrong to assume. "Oh, there's a person of color, or a poor person, or a woman, or a queer person in a job. It's because DEI." No, every person who interviews for a job still has to get past the interview. They still have to get there. You know what I mean? It's so interesting to me how people think that something is happening at them. We all benefit when there's different people at.Brad Crowell 8:51 Oh the stats are in. I mean, the, the if you go look at any corporation that focuses on diversity in their company, they perform better as a company. There's not even any question.Lesley Logan 9:02 100% So I don't know. We obviously, I want to say about Polish Peter, but I just think it's really important. If you're listening, there's a good chance you're probably DEI too in some way, and if you have family members who are really like, they roll their eyes at those letters, I strongly encourage you to look up and see if they fall in under DEI and explain it to them because what sounds like is that they've been brainwashed that people are having a leg up on them, which is not true. And if they just recognized that they also fall under these things, there are systems for them. Like, this is the thing that frustrates me the most. There are systems for people,Brad Crowell 9:38 Yeah.Lesley Logan 9:39 Who think that the world is against them. There are these things. You have to look them up. It's really frustrating, but there are these things. I hear about different things that Vegas offers people in different socioeconomic backgrounds and homes. I didn't even know existed. I'm like, how are people hearing about this? But we do have. Brad Crowell 9:55 I mean, we're watching The Pit right now. Again, literally. Lesley's on the third time through. I'm on the second time through, and there's in season two. There is a unhoused guy who he needs a bath really bad, right? And he gets in to they they they clean him up and they start talking to him and everything. And the charge nurse, the head charge nurse, says, you know, you need to work the system. The system is there to support you. You have to learn how to work the system. Right? And and so it's shoot that wrong. Lesley Logan 10:25 We have some incredible people on our teaching team and and our team who've had things that are outside of their control, just terrible things that just have sidelined their dreams. And not only did they work the system, and yes, it requires you being on long phone call holds and doing the paperwork and and keeping the receipts, but their kids are benefiting from it and Brad Crowell 10:48 Yeah, big time. Lesley Logan 10:48 So do it. Brad Crowell 10:49 In a good way.Lesley Logan 10:50 Do it.Brad Crowell 10:51 Yeah.Lesley Logan 10:51 And also we are voting in the next less than 60 days. Please consider how you are voting and who supports people. Brad Crowell 10:59 Well, first off, make sure you vote.Lesley Logan 11:01 Make sure you vote.Brad Crowell 11:02 Yeah.Lesley Logan 11:02 You can vote for whoever you want, but also think about how that person feels about other people.Brad Crowell 11:08 Yeah.Lesley Logan 11:09 You know. Anyways, we got to get into it. Brad Crowell 11:11 We're going to talk about what's coming up here and what our travel is.Lesley Logan 11:14 The upLifter, upLift Teacher Training Program. We're actually onboarding our instructors this fall, so. Brad Crowell 11:20 Our educators. Lesley Logan 11:21 Our educators, for that this fall and upLift is for people who want to become a pilates instructor or people who have had partial trainings who would like to make it a comprehensive training so they can have a career and longevity in this career. So if you are interested in my upLift teacher training program and being able to do that in person with one of our educators, xxll.co/uws. No, we still don't have a link for all these things, but we'll get there probably next year. It's a 2027 goal. All right. eLevate. That is my mentorship program. So that's for those of you who are—if you're like, "Oh, I would love to learn from you, but I'm already trained teacher." That's eLevate. We have a few spots left, and you can actually watch. Brad Crowell 11:57 Well, we might be sold out by the time you hear this in September, but yeah, we'll see. At the very least, get on the wait list for future.Lesley Logan 12:03 Just go and check, and you never know. And we'll figure out a better way to announce this stuff. lesleylogan.co/elevate. But you should go learn about it and see if it's the right thing for you. Brad Crowell 12:12 I mean, honestly, the the the reality is this: that 2027 is already sold out. 2028 is almost sold out, right? So if this is something that you're considering, it's getting further out in the future. So now is the time to start thinking about it because, you know, we might already be talking about 2029. Lesley Logan 12:29 And I won't even let them pick dates, so we're not even talking. But anyways, I want you in if you want in. I want you in. It's not some elitist thing, by the way. It's just people always, "Oh, I can't believe I got accepted." It's, yeah, you meet the requirements and why you want to join is why I do the program, and so it's a kind of a first-come, first-serve. I'm not one of those hierarchical. Is that the right word?Brad Crowell 12:49 Yeah, you nailed it.Lesley Logan 12:49 Yeah, educators where you must have been teaching 30 years, and you must bow down to me and be in my cult. No, I, I really, if you want to learn from me and you meet the why we do what we do and what you need to have done, then it's a first-come, first-serve. So there is no someone had this training and that's why they're in over someone else. Nope, nope. Also, our flashcards. Did you know that if you want to support this podcast and you're not ready to be an OPC member, there's a way to support this podcast by buying our flashcards. And when you buy our flashcards, you don't just support us. You actually support the Nevada SPCA.Brad Crowell 13:21 Hey, love that.Lesley Logan 13:22 And they do fucking great work.Brad Crowell 13:24 Yes.Lesley Logan 13:24 Yeah. opc.me/flashcards.Brad Crowell 13:26 We were able to buy all of the dogs in the. Lesley Logan 13:30 Not just the dogs, Brad. We were able to pay for 114 shelter animals' food for one week.Brad Crowell 13:35 That's amazing.Lesley Logan 13:36 And at the time, they only had 61 shelter animals, so we probably paid for two weeks of. Brad Crowell 13:40 That's what I thought. It was two weeks. The way that it worked out was it's two weeks worth of meals for the the animals that they had, the future pets that they had, and we're really proud of that, y'all. Like this is not just Lesley and I saying this. This is your participation with Online Pilates Classes. We are so excited to be able to write that check, and we write it every quarter, and it's because of you.Lesley Logan 14:03 And also, we should be updating you on Q3 soon. So stay tuned. We'll see how many more animals we we fed, or how many we paid for the adoption fees for. Anyways, posters.Brad Crowell 14:14 Yeah, people have asked us where the posters are found. The OPC posters. Just go to opc.me/posters, and then real quick, we're gonna rip through this. Yeah, we'll be in Sacramento in October for Pilates On Tour. Lesley Logan 14:26 It's sold out.Brad Crowell 14:27 It is sold out, but we'll be there, and we'll be bringing the flashcards, by the way. And then Lesley and I literally leave our van, and we take the BART into San Francisco, and we are going to hop on a plane to go to Cambodia to host our annual retreat there, which is also.Lesley Logan 14:44 Well. It's been sold out for a long time, but you can get on. You're making it sound like no one can hang out with us.Brad Crowell 14:48 No.Lesley Logan 14:48 You can get on the wailist because we will not sell tickets to 2027 until January. There is space in 2027 hangouts. But you got to be on the waitlist for that.Brad Crowell 14:58 In November, Lesley is going to be at a Pilates summit in China.Lesley Logan 15:02 Yes. Brad Crowell 15:03 Just outside of Shanghai.Lesley Logan 15:04 Still have no link for you, but I heard that they're promoting it on the Chinese socials. Brad Crowell 15:09 Yes, it is up and out. We're we're working on that.Lesley Logan 15:11 Tell your friends in China. Yeah, hopefully I can come a lot.Brad Crowell 15:15 That'd be awesome.Lesley Logan 15:16 Yeah.Brad Crowell 15:16 In December, Lesley's going to India. She's going to be in Goa.Lesley Logan 15:19 There are spaces.Brad Crowell 15:20 And there are spaces at the Pilates On Tour there, the POT there. So go to xxll.co/pot Lesley Logan 15:27 And Goa, you guys, I said yes because when you look at Goa, you too will say yes. And the way they do Goa is so different. They treat it almost like you're going on a retreat. So your ticket covers the resort, the food, the whole thing.Brad Crowell 15:39 Oh, nice.Lesley Logan 15:40 Yeah.Brad Crowell 15:41 You have food there too. That's great.Lesley Logan 15:42 Well, of course they're gonna feed me. They always do, but everyone you fed.Brad Crowell 15:45 Not you, I meant the ticket attendees. Lesley Logan 15:46 Yeah, they get everything, and then it covers their their end of resort. We're all at a resort together.Brad Crowell 15:51 Very cool.Lesley Logan 15:52 It's gonna be like the White Lotus, but not no murders, no affairs.Brad Crowell 15:58 Awesome, and then Lesley literally flies from India straight to Denver, which you know that we're in Vegas. But I'm driving the van to Denver. She's gonna fly from India to Denver, and I'll pick her up, and we're gonna hit the road for our winter tour for OPC. Lesley Logan 16:14 Weird, wild, and crazy, and people think I'm 30 years old.Brad Crowell 16:16 Yeah, so come join us. Go to opc.me/events opc.me/events. Lesley Logan 16:21 And if you're like, oh, I'm gonna do next year's, just so you know, I've accepted nothing for 2027.Brad Crowell 16:28 For the winter tour?Lesley Logan 16:29 No, I mean for any of these POTs orBrad Crowell 16:32 Any of the events, yes. Lesley Logan 16:33 Or whatever. We haven't at this moment that we're recording. We have, I've accepted. Oh, I've accepted one thing, but I haven't had the contract on it yet, so. Brad Crowell 16:41 That's true. That's true. Oh, actually, before we leave, hold on, stick around, stick around. We are very excited to talk about the charity of the week. So this week's charity is we're going to be highlighting the Americans for Immigrant Justice. It's a Miami-based nonprofit law firm fighting for immigrant basic human rights for nearly 30 years. Since 1996, they provided free legal representation because, unlike criminal court, there's no guaranteed right to an attorney in immigration proceedings. I just want to say that again. We all know that the court provides us an attorney if we need one, right? We do, we do, we get that, yes. But if you are an immigrant, if you're going through immigration proceedings, that is not a guaranteed right, right? So what do you? First off, you might not even know anything about our legal system, and then what? You're supposed to represent yourself? That's crazy.Lesley Logan 17:34 Well, we have friends who, because of all this ICE shit, are being thrown into representing people because it's hitting the federal courts now, which is not normally how it goes, and they are having to learn immigration shit.Brad Crowell 17:44 Yeah, and so, yeah, so this organization offers literally free legal counsel. It's all in the Miami-Dade area, so South Florida, but it's—it's—it's amazing. They've provided attorneys to more than 175,000 people from over 160 countries. That's amazing. They're the only provider offering on-site legal help at Miami-Dade's domestic violence shelter. They do not just immigration, but they also do violence, like domestic violence. They've exposed abusive conditions inside detention centers in Florida and on the Texas border. And in 2025, they won a federal injunction blocking a Florida law that would have made it a felony for certain undocumented people to simply be in the state. Lesley Logan 18:23 Wow, this is really cool. And also, I'm sure if you don't live in Florida, I bet you they have friends and colleagues in different states.Brad Crowell 18:30 Yeah, they're four-star rated by Charity Navigator. Your donation actually goes to real on-the-ground work for people who have nowhere else to turn. And you can find out more at aijustice.org. AIjustice.org.Lesley Logan 18:43 I love that. It's really important. You know, there's a lot of ish happening right now, and it's, it's very scary, and it's all meant to just scare. It's all scare tactics, but also these are real people who are being locked up in places that it's not how it's normally done. They're actually, when people say, "Do it the right way," a lot of these people are. They actually went to their immigration appointment and they got picked up. It takes a long time. So, anyways, please take a look at how you can support people who have immigrated here in your areas. If this organization doesn't work, there's probably a lot of different ways you can support those in your community. Do that.Brad Crowell 19:17 Yeah, and if you have a recommendation for a charity that we should investigate and check out, send us a text 310-905-5534, or you can submit that to beitpod.com/questions. You can also leave us a win for the Friday episodes, and if you know, you know. Stick around. We'll be right back. All right, let's talk about Peter, known as Polish Peter and sometimes Polish Tony, for his Tony Robbins-esque style. He's a transformational coach, speaker, and author. Born in communist Poland, Peter landed in Detroit in 1991 at the age of 14 with no English and Big Dreams of the USA, shaped by Hollywood movies. He trained as an architect, but after the 2008 recession and a divorce, he found his way into coaching. Today, he helps people like—all the stories holding them back, and asks the tough, sobering questions that people need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. He does have a book. It's called The Authentic Self Rebirth, and we'll put the link in the show notes, so check it out below. Lesley Logan 20:13 But he's got such great energy. Brad Crowell 20:16 Yeah, my Authentic Birth. You can find it, and he has a book there. It's free right now, apparently, actually.Lesley Logan 20:21 No, you just pay for shipping handling.Brad Crowell 20:22 Yeah, awesome. So yeah, yeah, it was a great convo.Lesley Logan 20:25 I agree. I don't. I think I don't even remember. Remember when the 747s were falling out of the sky, like they were having issues.Brad Crowell 20:34 Yeah, sure. Like two years ago.Lesley Logan 20:35 No, more like before COVID. But there was that. Was it really? Yeah, maybe they weren't 747s. Maybe they were—remember the Boeing? There were Boeings, and there was two that the pilots were trying to do something, and the computer was doing the opposite thing. Yeah, and then you were on a plane to New Orleans, and I had to get on a plane to Poland, and it was one of these Boeing numbers, and I started having a panic attack, and you weren't answering your phone because you were on a plane,Brad Crowell 21:00 I think it was 2023, babe.Lesley Logan 21:02 No, definitely not. It was before COVID. We lived in LA, and so I'm texting you, "I think I'm gonna die now. I'm going." Brad Crowell 21:10 Oh yes, I do remember this.Lesley Logan 21:11 And I love you so much. Here's where I come down. Brad Crowell 21:15 This was your first trip to Poland.Lesley Logan 21:17 My first trip to Poland, and they made me check my bag, which you know how much I hate because I said it was too heavy, and so of course I found some tequila and some kombucha, and I made myself a margarita at the airport. And I'm walking around drinking my margarita that I made, and I get myself on this plane. I was like, okay, if the plane takes off and nothing happens in 20 minutes, I think we're okay. So I set a timer, and I'm just sitting there with my timer. What? Nothing happened.Brad Crowell 21:43 What? No idea what you said.Lesley Logan 21:44 Well, I was just like watching my timer. I was just watching the timer. I was watching 20 minutes tick down, right? Because I was like, "This is—this is when it's going to happen. It's going to happen the next 20 minutes." And this woman next to me, when there was no one in the middle seat, she was, "I'm scared to fly too," and I was like, "Oh yeah, normally no, but this is one of those planes that goes down, so I'm just scared to be on this one." And she started talking about being living in communist Poland.Brad Crowell 22:06 She did?Lesley Logan 22:07 Yeah. And she told me it was so wonderful because she talked nonstop. Even my timer went off. She just kept talking, and she told me her whole life trying to escape communist Poland and how her family got to the U.S. and because in communist Poland you couldn't have access to your passport, so you had to have different reasons to get access to it. And then they watched you heavily when you had access to your passport. And she and her family were able to escape Poland and come to the United States.Brad Crowell 22:37 That's amazing.Lesley Logan 22:37 Yes, and it was a beautiful story. It was, and then she's like, "And I'm going back to see family." I'm like, so. Brad Crowell 22:43 Why would you do that? Okay. Lesley Logan 22:44 But it's not communist. Anyways. But it was. I just, anyways, I thought of her when I thought of that story and thought of her when with Peter because how difficult for his family to come here and then to be a child. Now he's in Detroit. How many Polish people are in Detroit. He's in Detroit. He doesn't know English, and English is. You think Polish is hard? English is hard. So, anyways, he operates, and this is probably why, is because he operates under the belief that life happens for me, not to me. And I know we've all heard that before, but you really do have to think about that in a way that's, that helps you because shit happens, and if you really can think about it, he, you know, in 2008 he lost all the things and his partner and all this stuff, and if he can think about this is happening for me and see the opportunities that are there to grow and to become a different person and to have a different life, so he definitely had some really good explanations. He said, imagine banging your head against the drywall, like something's going to give.Brad Crowell 23:42 Something will give.Lesley Logan 23:43 It will, and if you live at a flipped house, it will definitely give. But it's not good. You don't want to do that. He does—he said you should figure out what the root cause of the issue was going on. Like, really going back in time, and I think a lot of us stick to the surface level. This happened, so this is the thing. But there's often a first domino that starts the effect. So he also, I really like when he talked about the different patterns that signal a wrong direction, and we have to pivot. And my God, I know we all hate that word. It's still like a trigger word for us. But there's nothing wrong with a good pivot. I don't know. I'm a pivot queen.Brad Crowell 24:19 I think it's a great skill to have. I mean, it's also an important time to step back and reevaluate.Lesley Logan 24:27 Well, I was just talking with some eLevate people this week about how sometimes they get so super focused on this one thing in a person doing an exercise, and I love how you are a dog with a bone on that. But you got to zoom out because if you don't zoom out, you're actually missing that these three things are happening, which is probably why the thing you're zoomed in is happening there. And if you don't zoom out, then you're actually going to be going in the wrong direction. Where if you zoomed out and made a pivot, it doesn't mean you're a bad teacher. It actually means you're, you're going, "Whoa, hold on! I have more information, and now I can take us in the right direction." No, that's what.Brad Crowell 25:06 Well, I really loved what he was talking about. How do we know that we're being authentic? Because that's just be yourself. Just be authentic.Lesley Logan 25:13 I love this because everyone talks about being authentic. It's so annoying, but I love the word. Yeah, how do you know if you are?Brad Crowell 25:18 He said when you are true to yourself, he said, "You'll know when you're true to yourself if it feels like nothing is missing," right? If something is missing, if something feels like it's missing, then you're probably not being true to yourself, right? You're not being your authentic self. He also said that if you're living from stories of what the world told you to be, not how you need to be, right? So it's, this goes back to all the, you know, parallel here is like magazines or society telling you what this is how you should do it, and it's not necessarily the right path for you, right? For me, yeah, I agree. Yeah, you know, so I think it's amazing when you are pressured by something outside of you. That could be your parents. That could be your school. That could be your church. That could be whatever it might be. Your job. There's tension. There's obviously tension there. Sometimes the pressure is good. They're helping you with your path, but you know if the pressure is not good, right? It makes me think of my job that I had before I finally quit. Yeah, I mean, look, my parents pushed me to be a better student. You know, that's a good thing. My job pushed me to do things that could I do those things? Yes. Should I do those things? Probably shouldn't have done those things. You know, there was so much turmoil and tension in doing those things, but I was, I felt stuck. Felt super, super stuck. I need to get paid. I need to, you know, that's what's keeping me here. Is the only thing that's keeping me here is the paycheck, right? And I, it became very clear over time. I can't keep operating this way. I cannot keep doing the things I'm doing, you know, because I am not being authentic to myself. I don't believe in the things that I'm doing. I don't, I don't want to be doing the things that I'm doing, but I'm still doing them for some reason, right? And so, you know, I think that there's that internal frustration that you have, and that is a huge indicator that you're not being your authentic self.Lesley Logan 27:21 Yeah, I think I look back at my job I had in retail, which I do love and I'm really grateful for. But I kept taking promotions, expecting like the next thing to be better, the next thing to be better, and then I'm like, I gotta move cities, and that's gonna make it better. And then it's—you keep saying, "And then once this happens, then it'll be better." And it's actually no, if that keeps happening, there's something missing, and so you're not fully being authentic. And you got to take some time to think about that means and go get to know yourself. You know, go watch Runaway Bride and see how long it took her to figure out what she liked. You know, it takes time.Brad Crowell 27:52 Yeah, I mean, you know, I think the idea of getting to know yourself will help you create clarity when you have that tension. It's really hard, you know, to step aside and reevaluate things. It often comes with major life change, you know. For him, he was talking about how getting divorced was a reality check, and it made him do a lot of self-inflection.Lesley Logan 28:20 Self-inflection, reflection?Brad Crowell 28:22 Inflection.Lesley Logan 28:24 Self-inflection.Brad Crowell 28:25 Yeah, right? Lesley Logan 28:26 I don't think that's right. I don't want to correct you, but I don't think that's right. Self-inflection?Brad Crowell 28:32 Maybe it's self-reflection.Lesley Logan 28:33 It's reflection. Brad Crowell 28:34 What is inflection? What does that even mean?Lesley Logan 28:36 Well, this is when I'm in—I'm inflecting my voice. Like, I'm doing inflection. I'm inflecting this way. I am doing it like this. Like, inflection is like what you do with sounds.Brad Crowell 28:47 Well, we're gonna inflect in just a minute. So stick around. We'll be right back when we we inflect on those Be It Action Items.Lesley Logan 28:53 Oh my god, you guys! It's a Friday night.Brad Crowell 28:55 It's definitely Thursday.Lesley Logan 29:00 Leave it in. Just leave it in. Brad Crowell 29:03 We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 29:07 All right, welcome back. Let's talk about those be it action items. What bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Polish Peter? He identifies as a recovering people pleaser. He said that if you say yes to everything and everyone except the things that are most important to you, what ends up happening most of the time is the people who are closest to you get hurt the most. I'm going to say that again. If you say yes to everyone else, everyone except for the things that are important to you, the people that are closest to you get hurt the most. That was really interesting to think about. He also pointed out the people who are always told to write business plans, but nobody ever tells you to write a vision for your own personal life. I thought that was also really intriguing. So, but the thing, but let me get back to the thing about the people get hurt the most are the people closest to you. Think about this. This is—this is actually one of the things we talk about with OPC. You gotta put yourself first so that you can be the better you for your family, friends, coworkers, job, whatever it might be. For yourself, you have to put yourself first.Lesley Logan 30:20 I agree. Also, I was just watching a shitty reality TV show, and these people were with terrible people, and they're, you can watch the people-pleasers trying to make it work, and some of it was manipulation and coercion, but they're trying to people-please their way out of the situation, andBrad Crowell 30:35 It was some inflection.Lesley Logan 30:36 Yeah. And other person feel really good, but guess who got hurt? Their friends, their family, the people they cared about, because those people could see this partner is not good for them, and they could see what this person was doing, jumping through hoops to make this partner good for them. And it's, they ended up losing friends and losing connection with family members. And so you ought to be mindful. Yeah, I agree. Your OPC example was perfect. Brad Crowell 31:00 Yeah. Moving on to the business plan for your life, like writing a vision for your life. He said to stop being a people pleaser. He wrote out his own vision for his own life, and he blocked out personal priorities in his calendar to ensure those spots were not taken up by others or other commitments when he was usually saying yes. And he said the payoff was when people would ask for his time. He would say, "Hey, let me get back to you on that," and then he would go sit down and he would think, "Does this align with my vision? Is this going to help me with my vision, or is it going to take me further away from my vision?" Right?Lesley Logan 31:36 I have a filter.Brad Crowell 31:37 But also that sounds super selfish. Does this align with my vision? Is it going to help me with my vision, or is it going to take me further away?Lesley Logan 31:45 I think this selfish needs a rebrand.Brad Crowell 31:48 Right. So self-care isn't selfish. We talked about that a whole lot back in the day, but the idea here is, yeah, it might sound selfish, but because he had not put himself first in the past, his entire life fell apart. So on round two, he was major change needs to happen. I'm going to run all of these things through this filter of how aligned is this thing with what I need for me. In addition to, I'm sure there's ways in there he can do both, but there are certainly things in there that will not serve him at all. And he's, "Hold on a minute. I don't know if I can do this anymore." So good for him. That's a really powerful thing to learn. And now he's helping people with it.Lesley Logan 32:33 Yeah. I also definitely understand feeling bad when I say no to things that don't align with what I want to do. It's not about—I don't feel bad, right? While this is going on, we were asked to be somewhere for an event, and we're available, but it's the only month to be fucking home, the rest of the year, it's it, and so I said we can't make it because it's the only month not on plane, and I'm really excited for you, and so of course I feel some FOMO. I feel, "Oh my God, are we letting people down?" And also, I can't do it. I will not be present enough for October events, November events, December events. I can't do it. So it's actually not selfish because going back to the people pleasing thing, if I had said yes, then the people coming to our events the rest of the year are going to get an exhausted version of me, so I had to say no, and it's not selfish; it's self-preservation.Brad Crowell 33:29 Right.Lesley Logan 33:30 Yeah. Anyways, I like that he said literally every day be with yourself. I do this all the time, so I couldn't agree more. I actually get really annoyed when I can't be with myself for four plus hours. I think it's really important. Find ways to be with yourself. Some people want to be with themselves in movement. Some people want to be themselves meditation, whatever. But you got to be with yourself without the podcast in the ear. I know this podcast, but so as much as I want you to keep listening, find 15 other minutes to be with yourself. But be with yourself. He suggested being in front of a camera or a mirror and just be with yourself and just be quiet. I think that's cool, especially if you don't do things with the camera. I'm in front of a camera all fucking day. I don't want to see my face anymore, so most of my time with myself is not seeing my face. I really appreciate that, but then it's really hilarious because I'll be with myself for four hours, and I'll put a camera. I'm like, "Wow, I walk the dogs like this." But anyways, I couldn't agree more because I think it's really important that you you just take time to be with you without any extra input. So I love that.

What sets James apart from other Christian commentators is his unexpected nine-year detour as a paranormal investigator and storyteller, where he became world renowned for his storytelling abilities while interviewing over 1,000 eyewitnesses to unexplained events and appearing on hundreds of podcasts and radio shows ranging from Coast to Coast AM to Darkness Radio. This intensive field research opened his eyes to the reality of spiritual warfare plaguing our modern world, ultimately leading to a powerful moment when the Lord Jesus Christ redirected his mission to focus on news and politics. Today, James brings an engineer's analytical mindset combined with hard-earned spiritual discernment to help believers understand the prophetic significance of current events. His background is unlike any other voice in Christian media - he's not someone who simply studied theology or politics, but rather someone who has witnessed firsthand the supernatural forces at work in our world before finding ultimate truth in Christ. This powerful testimony, combined with his technical expertise, broadcast experience, and massive engaged audience, makes him an compelling guest who can speak authoritatively on everything from Biblical prophecy in current politics to the spiritual battles manifesting in today's headlines. As both a published author and convention speaker, James is comfortable in any interview format and brings talking points that resonate deeply with Christian audiences seeking truth in an age of deception.

“As the Tigers Turn” – Get Your Popcorn Ready!

SwampSwami.com - Sports Commentary and more!

A few weeks ago, I suggested a number of possible sports soap opera names for the ongoing drama involving this year’s LSU football program. Possible names floated included “Search for Tomorrow’s Coach”, “Lane – Is a Many Spendored Thing”, and “The Young and the Ruthless.” One title, though, stood out among the others. I chose “As the Tigers Turn” as the winner. It seems to fit all of the wild and crazy stories which are surrounding this season’s Bayou Bengals from Baton Rouge. We’ve got another tasty dish of LSU jambalaya ready to serve-up, che’re. It’s time to roll this show’s opening credits! In our last episode… Two weeks ago, LSU had not played its first college football game of the season. The opening game against long-time ACC powerhouse Clemson was coming up on Saturday, September 5 in LSU’s Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on national television. Former Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin was taking the field that night for the first time as LSU’s new coach. Ex-LSU coach Brian Kelly was long gone after receiving his expensive $54 million contract payout to vamoose. Lane Kiffin’s first game as coach of LSU was enough drama for Tigers fans. The NCAA then inadvertently created some legal issues which added even more suspense to LSU’s opening game of the football season. The NCAA (it’s OK to boo the villain here) fumbled the ball again. They waited until June to implement a new rule affecting the eligibility of college athletes. The overseer of college sports had previously allowed a maximum of four years of athletic eligibility. A June, 2026 NCAA rule gives athletes five years of college eligibility as long as it is completed within five years after leaving high school. The previous rule had hundreds of athletes petitioning the NCAA for a fifth or sixth year of athletic eligibility due to injuries. medical issues, and/or other extenuating circumstances. A small group of athletes who had utilized their four years of college eligibility over four consecutive years filed a lawsuit in a Louisiana state court. They wanted the right to return to play a fifth year of college football this fall if they were released by an NFL team during the summer preseason. Two of those players in the lawsuit just happened to be former Ole Miss players who played for coach Lane Kiffin in 2025. The Southeastern Conference was furious that LSU was (perhaps) going to sign and play some ex-professional athletes. SEC school presidents joined with Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12 Conferences to prohibit member schools from playing any former professional athletes beginning this fall. As you may have heard, the Louisiana state court judge held a hearing two days prior to the LSU/Clemson game – in his Baton Rouge courtroom, of course. Making matters worse, the SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey (it’s OK to boo or cheer here – your preference) was required to fly to Baton Rouge to testify in the matter. After three hours on the witness stand, Commissioner Sankey left town and later learned that the judge had ruled in favor of the players. Can you imagine how “hot” Commissioner Sankey might have been after learning that? Would LSU actually go against the wishes of the SEC Commissioner and the 15 other university presidents and play a couple of college players who earned $2,000/week for several weeks in an NFL preseason camp? Would the SEC dare to either suspend LSU coach Lane Kiffin for six games and/or assess a $50 million penalty on the Tigers? Worst of all, would the SEC expel one of its original founding members and toss LSU completely out of the conference? Act 2: LSU did not add any pro players, and the SEC backed down on its threats The LSU Tigers had legal clearance to add those briefly-employed ex-NFL players. They purposefully chose not to. LSU went on to crush Clemson 51-10 in their season opener without the legally-cleared-to-play “pro” players. Early the following week, LSU added two final players to complete its roster. Neither name was one of the so-called “pro” players. It’s likely that the two young men who came from the NFL summer camps will receive their promised NIL payments from LSU without ever playing a down of football this season. We can only hope these gentlemen will be as successful in the classroom in Baton Rouge this fall. Taking a cue from LSU’s more positive and conciliatory actions, the league’s presidents also met again last week. The angry mob of academic leaders finally put down their pitchforks and torches. Instead, they decided to slow things down and re-think expelling one of the SEC’s most powerful brand names called LSU. As predicted here, cooler heads seem to have prevailed on both sides. Somewhere, ESPN is likely to have intervened to remind all parties that the SEC and LSU are stronger with each other. LSU played its second game of the season last Saturday night and defeated a tough Louisiana Tech Bulldogs squad 45-14. Act 3 – Ole Miss began a full-scale offensive against LSU ahead of Saturday’s game The date which Ole Miss fans (and, more recently, LSU haters) have marked on their calendars finally arrives Saturday in Oxford. At about 6:45PM CDT this Saturday night, Coach Lane Kiffin is expected to return to the field at Ole Miss! The man who left his 11-1 squad last season to take the open job at LSU will be greeted with a deafening cacophony of booing and R-rated jeers from Ole Miss fans. ESPN will (of course) be there to promote this hatred serenade with its Saturday morning College GameDay program. For once, coach Nick Saban will not be the primary object of negative attention from Rebels football fans. Ole Miss and LSU are both 2-0. The Tigers are ranked #7 and Ole Miss #8 this week. On Monday, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry suggested (jokingly, perhaps) that LSU Coach Lane Kiffin and his Tigers football team may need National Guard protection from any Ole Miss fans harboring bad intentions. Ole Miss officials promise that there will be ample security on hand before, during, and after this game to keep the peace. I joked with a long-time friend yesterday that, perhaps, Coach Kiffin and the entire LSU coaching staff should don “ZZ Top” disguises Saturday night. Having more than a dozen coaches wearing long overcoats and fake beards with the name “Kiffin” on the back would be a good way to diffuse all of the hate and turn it into laughter. Another idea would be for Lane Kiffin to hire a lookalike (carrying a lot of insurance) to stand on the sidelines next to several very large Louisiana state troopers. Meanwhile, the actual coach Kiffin could sit in an undisclosed location in the press box to oversee the game for LSU. Act 4 – General Hospital – Former Ole Miss and LSU coach Ed Orgeron’s health update Coach “O” (spelled “Eaux” in Louisiana) has been hired as the head football coach and fired by both Ole Miss (2005-2007) and LSU (2016-2021). The 65-year old Ed Orgeron and current LSU coach Lane Kiffin are longtime friends. They coached together at the University of Tennessee and Southern Cal. Kiffin hired his Louisiana-born and bred coaching friend to become a special assistant to recruiting and defense at LSU earlier this year. Coach “O” has always been one of college football’s top recruiters – especially within the state of Louisiana. Monday’s LSU press conference featured Coach Kiffin fielding a reporter’s question as to whether Ed Orgeron had been away from the team due to a undisclosed medical issue. Lane Kiffin danced around the question a little bit and finally said, “He’s doing better. It was little scary. He’s still not all the way back. He just means a lot to me. We’ve been through a lot.” Late Tuesday, a long-time New Orleans-area media personality posted on his X.com account that Ed Orgeron had been hospitalized recently for sepsis related to an infection. His report confirmed that the coach was now out of the hospital and at home. A friend of mine died a few years ago from a similar (and extremely serious) condition. Our prayers are with Coach Orgeron to make a full recovery soon! Geaux Tigah! Act 5 – Nuts and bolts, two former Ole Miss players just got sued! Finally, Tuesday’s LSU football practice concluded with a couple of its Ole Miss transfer players being served lawsuits demanding repayment of money owed to their former school. Defensive tackle Princewell Umanmeilen and offensive lineman Devin Harper hit the transfer portal to join Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin down at LSU. Unfortunately, both players had already signed NIL agreements with Ole Miss covering this 2026 football season with the combined amount totaling nearly $1 million. Ole Miss claims that previous attempts over the past few months to get repayment have failed. LSU officials responded that any payments due Ole Miss from the two transfers players were not the responsibility of their new school. The timing of being served with a lawsuit during game week was not a coincidence. Expect these two new LSU football players to be highly motivated to bring a different form of payback to Ole Miss come Saturday night. Kick-off is at 6:45PM this Saturday night on ABC. Get your popcorn ready! And come back soon for another episode of…”As the Tigers Turn!” The post “As the Tigers Turn” – Get Your Popcorn Ready! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Ever notice how the beauty industry seems to profit most when you're the most confused about what your skin actually needs? Mrs. Derm (aka Melissa Coleman) — skincare educator, content creator, and wife of a prominent New Orleans dermatologist — has built her following on refusing to play that game, translating the confusing, expensive world of dermatology into advice women can actually use, and this week she's telling Molly and Emese exactly what's worth it and what's marketing noise. Rather than chase every new device or serum, she breaks down why her own routine is almost aggressively simple, and why the actives that get real results are the boring, consistent ones — not the expensive ones. She gets refreshingly honest about everything from red light masks and RF microneedling to fillers, facelifts, fat transfer, and the skincare products that are actually worth your money. Mrs. Derm also walks through how watching procedures up close for years changed the way she thinks about surgery, fillers, and when "waiting it out" stops making sense, and makes her case for the one product she believes converts everyone who commits to it.

The Daily DLP for Tuesday, September 15th looks at some of the broad-stroke takeaways from the Lions Week 1 win over the Saints. We also delve into the PFF team scores and grades, and offer what we can on the Joey Porter Jr. situation with the Steelers. Detroit's defense was dominant early in the game, but the Saints adjusted to the pressures and the spacing. New Orleans took advantage of some poor coordination in the Lions' zone coverages. The pass rush from Skyler Gill-Howard, Aidan Hutchinson and others was still bringing it, but getting the ball out quicker and using their speed better helped the Saints light up the Detroit D regardless. Gill-Howard was one of several Lions who stood out individually. First-rounder in 2025, Tyleik Williams had a whale of a game in the start of his second season in Detroit. This year's first-rounder, Blake Miller, also performed very well in his first NFL game. The moment wasn't too big for Miller. His injury status is a big detail to watch for when the Lions visit the Buffalo Bills on a short week this Thursday. Dan Campbell seems hopeful Miller will be able to go. A review of the team's overall PFF grades offers a broad view of how the Lions performed and how it compares to the rest of the NFL in Week 1. We also offer an update on the Lions' contact with the Steelers regarding Pittsburgh CB Joey Porter Jr., who is the subject of trade rumors as he seeks a new contract. Plus, a look at some of the ways the Lions can tighten up the ship headed to Buffalo. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jaredgoff #jahmyrgibbs #aidanhutchinson #peneisewell #jackcampbell #dancampbell #rockya-sin #chuckclark #thomasharper #benbartch #larryborom #blakemiller #joeyporterjr. #buffalobills #pittsburghsteelers Learn more about your ad choices.

The notice of the boycott condemns leadership's actions after five researchers were removed by police from its annual meeting in June. Significantly, The editors of ADA's flagship journal, Diabetes Care, have joined on in support of the boycott. "Manuscripts submitted will not be handled until the boycott is over," said Steven Kahn, MBChB, the journal's editor in chief and one of the five researchers ejected from the meeting in New Orleans, in a LinkedIn post on Thursday. Kahn told MedPage Today that "the journal boycott is like establishing a picket line. The boycott already has hundreds of signatures of people who have pledged to suspend all ADA-related activities, including: Planning or attending any meetings led by ADA leadership or the board, including the 2027 ADA Scientific Sessions Participating in board-led activities regarding the investigation of the meeting's events, or the report generated by the "so-called 'independent' committee" Engaging in all other ADA operations, including presentations, fundraisers, grant reviews, manuscript reviews, journal management, manuscript submissions, and position statements The boycott will remain active until the ADA board of directors permits an independent formal review of the organization's structure and function to ensure it "properly represent[s] its professional membership." If demands are not met, signees plan to align with existing or newly formed medical societies. https://www.medpagetoday.com/endocrinology/diabetes/122977 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4h548X9qXgkVREQ71k2gDHiU8WFAFF78wTnmS20_ntwUM0w/viewform XX A new patch pump is coming to the US..

In preclinical studies, researchers developed an antibody that was able to target and eliminate specific immune cells responsible for attacking the pancreas's insulin-producing beta cells, while leaving the rest of the immune system intact. The researchers say the approach is especially promising because it could potentially reverse the autoimmune process soon after a type 1 diabetes diagnosis, rather than simply managing blood sugar. The work is still in the early stages and has not yet been tested in people; additional laboratory and preclinical studies are needed before human clinical trials can begin. sclerosis.https://hub.jhu.edu/2026/09/09/federal-funds-support-type-1-diabetes-treatment/ XX A new international consensus recommends routine screening for type 1 diabetes in the general population, offering the first framework for how healthcare providers could put widespread screening into practice. The guidance recommends screening children between ages 2 and 4, with children who test negative screened again at ages 6–8 and 10–15. Screening uses a blood test to look for islet autoantibodies, which can signal that the immune system is attacking insulin-producing cells years before symptoms appear or insulin is needed. Finding type 1 diabetes early can greatly reduce the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA, at diagnosis and may give people access to treatments such as teplizumab that can delay progression to clinical T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-convened-paper-outlines-first-international-consensus-guidance-on-general-population-screening-for-early-stage-type-1-diabetes-302875788.html XX Eating only between noon and 8 p.m. improved blood sugar control in a small study of adults with Type 1 diabetes and obesity, while avoiding an increase in serious complications. The promising findings offer the first evidence that time restricted eating could become another tool for managing the condition. For the study, Varady recruited adults with Type 1 diabetes who were also classified as obese After six months, the time-restricted eating group showed better blood sugar results than the calorie-reduction group. HbA1c, a blood test that reflects average blood sugar over the previous several months, fell by about 0.5% on average in the time-restricted group. Couple of things here – very small study, only 32 people in total, who were then randomly placed in three groups with different styles of eating. Also, the lead researcher says this is the first study of it's kind for type 1 – which is obviously not true – you can do a quick google search or listen to past episodes of this show.. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260909231740.htm XX A large Danish study found that COVID-19 infection was associated with a slightly lower, rather than higher, risk of subsequently developing type 1 diabetes in people under age 30. Researchers studied more than 2,100 people diagnosed with T1D and found an overall 16% lower risk following a documented COVID infection, with the strongest association—a 42% reduction—seen 31 to 180 days after infection. The reduced risk appeared primarily among people who had not been vaccinated against COVID-19, although researchers cautioned that the vaccination findings were less certain. Importantly, this was an observational study, so it cannot show that COVID infection actually protects against type 1 diabetes or explain what caused the association. Researchers say the findings conflict with some earlier studies and should be investigated in other countries and populations. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260908/COVID-19-linked-to-lower-subsequent-risk-of-type-1-diabetes.aspx XX Semaglutide, a medication widely used for type 2 diabetes and weight loss, may also provide an unexpected benefit for people with asthma. New research presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Barcelona, Spain, found that semaglutide use was associated with a reduction in asthma attacks of nearly 40%. The study was led by Professor Chloe Bloom, Clinical Associate Professor in Respiratory Epidemiology at the National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London, UK, and presented by Dr. Bohee Lee. Exploring GLP 1 Drugs and Lung Health Dr. Bloom said: "GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. Previous research suggests that they may have anti-inflammatory effects and may improve lung-related outcomes. However, asthma and COPD outcomes have not been included as outcomes in GLP-1 drug trials. "We wanted to use real-world health records to investigate whether people with asthma or COPD who started GLP-1 receptor agonists had fewer acute respiratory attacks." To investigate that question, the researchers analyzed electronic medical records from the UK. They carried out four parallel studies, each involving between 20,000 and 22,000 people who had started treatment with either a GLP-1 medication or a different type of diabetes drug known as a sulfonylurea. The results suggested that people with airway diseases such as asthma and COPD who received GLP-1 therapies experienced fewer asthma attacks and COPD flare-ups than comparable patients who were prescribed other diabetes medications. Semaglutide Showed the Strongest Effect Among the GLP-1 drugs examined, semaglutide appeared to stand out, particularly for people with asthma. Bloom explains: "The effect was strongest with semaglutide, especially in people with asthma, where use of semaglutide appears to be associated with nearly a 40% reduction in asthma attacks. Semaglutide also led to a 20% reduction in COPD flare-ups." The findings suggest that people who already qualify for GLP-1 receptor agonists because they have obesity or type 2 diabetes could potentially receive an additional benefit for their respiratory health. However, Bloom emphasized that the results are not enough to recommend these medications specifically as treatments for asthma or COPD. She explains: "The findings from this study are encouraging, but they should not change treatment decisions on their own. People with asthma or COPD should not start GLP-1 receptor agonists specifically for their lung condition outside current prescribing guidance. While the findings suggest that some people taking GLP-1 receptor agonists may experience fewer respiratory attacks, this needs confirmation in clinical trials." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260909005155.htm XX XX A large study suggests women with endometriosis may have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed health records from nearly 3 million women in Utah and found those diagnosed with endometriosis were 46% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those without the condition. The association was strongest among women who had not yet reached menopause and those without obesity, a group typically considered at lower risk for type 2 diabetes. Certain forms of endometriosis, including those found outside the pelvic area, were associated with more than twice the risk. Researchers say more study is needed, but the findings suggest endometriosis may have health effects beyond the reproductive system and could eventually help identify women who may benefit from earlier diabetes screening. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/endometriosis-may-increase-type-2-diabetes-risk XX MiniMed files FDA submission for it's first patch pump, with a planned launch next summer. To be called MiniMed fit, it would have a 300-unit insulin reservoir and would accommodate up to seven days of wear time. MiniMed also completed enrollment of a pivotal trial for a fully closed loop algorithm, which would calculate the amount of insulin a person needs throughout the day, even if they don't announce meals or count carbohydrates. Interestingly, on an investor call, the CEO acknowledged that CGMs have been their – quote – Achilles' heel for a very long time" and that their newest sensor has helped drive insulin pump growth. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/minimed-submits-new-patch-pump-for-fda-clearance/829313/ XX A new study based on national health registers in Denmark suggests starting statin treatment after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis could lower the risk of dementia, and it seems that the sooner patients did, the better. The research, published in The Lancet Regional Health, is an observational study, meaning it can find statistically relevant patterns at the population level, but doesn't necessarily explain what caused those patterns. The results, however, were interesting enough that the researchers, led by medical doctor Tummas Ternhamar of the Copenhagen University Hospital, are urging doctors to consider statin therapy when diagnosing type 2 diabetes patients. "Statins seem to be underused in patients with type 2 diabetes, despite their protective effects against cardiovascular disease." https://www.sciencealert.com/statins-linked-to-lower-dementia-risk-in-massive-type-2-diabetes-study XX Big sports news with type 1. Alezander Zverev wins Family was at the heart of Alexander Zverev's U.S. Open triumph on Sunday as the German saluted the members of his inner circle and paid a heartfelt tribute to his mother for refusing to let diabetes define his future. The top seed beat American Ben Shelton 6-3 7-6(2) 5-7 6-2 at Flushing Meadows to finish a spectacular year at ‌the Grand Slams in which he proved his doubters wrong by going from perennial nearly man to two-time major champion. Shortly after his victory, Zverev reserved special praise for his mother Irina, a former professional tennis player, and credited her with ensuring type 1 diabetes never limited his ambitions in life. "When your 4-year-old son is diagnosed with diabetes and doctors in the office tell you that life and sports will be very limited for that child, it takes a very strong mother to say 'my son will be whatever he wants to be'," Zverev said. "'If he wants to be a tennis player, ⁠he'll be a tennis player. If he wants to do something else, he'll do something else, but this illness will not define us'. https://www.reuters.com/sports/tennis/zverev-hails-mothers-belief-after-us-open-triumph-2026-09-13/ XX Also, shout out to Garrett Mitchell (Center field Milwaukee Brewers) lives with Type 1 Diabetes and hit a grand slam immediately after having a failed insulin pump site. He was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 9. And I have a T1d mom friend who's known him since he was a kid. Just great to see athletes talking about failed insulin sets like they're just part of everyday life.. because they are. Btw it was the first grand slam for the brewers all year. XX The new Netflix movie The Runner is getting a bit of a side eye from some in the diabetes community… the Gal Gadot thriller features a child with type 1 but as usual, there are some weird inaccuracies. Ginger Vieria from Diabetes nerd has a great vide on this – I'll link it up: but they're saying things like Insulin Dispenser instead of pump.. and some other weird stuff.. but I've heard such bad things about this movie I'm not sure it's worth watching just for this. Ginger's video is though! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/o8cw_gEZj5s

Sean Josephs: The Sommelier Who Built America's Great Bourbon Bars and now create's a bourbon they pour.

Josh sits down with Sean Josephs, founder of Pinhook Bourbon and the new subscription-only Old Joseph's, for a conversation that traces two decades in restaurants and spirits. Sean didn't find the industry until he was 30, after five directionless years in fashion and beauty account management, before landing as a food runner at Tia Pol, the Chelsea restaurant his wife Mani opened in 2004. From there he trained under master sommelier Roger Dagorn at Chanterelle, then went on to build Char No. 4 in Brooklyn, Maysville, and Kenton's in Manhattan, all before relocating to New Orleans. Along the way he became one of the earliest people to treat bourbon the way sommeliers treat wine, pouring small tastes at a time and eventually founding Pinhook, a brand built around buying young barrels on lineage and being transparent about where the whiskey actually comes from.The conversation moves through the mechanics of the bourbon industry that most drinkers never think about: why big brands dilute their whiskey down to 80-86 proof and chill filter it to hide inconsistency between barrels, how scarcity turned Pappy Van Winkle into a cult bottle despite sharing a mash bill with Weller 12, and how vintage bottles that sold for $58 a decade ago now go for $10,000. Sean and Josh debate what connoisseurship actually means, identifying quality even in something you personally dislike, argue about when homemade beats store-bought (can you really beat Heinz), and dig into why bourbon barrels aging in Kentucky have tripled since 2012, helped along by private equity speculation. It closes on Sean's bet for what comes next: the best bourbon hasn't been made yet, and it won't come from a single distillery.Links and Resources

Photographer Dave Glass, Part 1 (S9E1)

Storied: San Francisco

Dave Glass's Polish parents met at a displaced persons camp in Europe after World War II. In this Season 9 inaugural episode, meet and get to know Dave. A born-and-raised San Francisco, Dave joined me back in August in the SF Public Press office/studio at Warfield Commons to record the first-ever Storied: San Francisco live episode. Our talk that night comprises this episode. Dave's mom and dad got married at that camp in Germany and had their first kid, Dave's sister, there. The young couple wanted to come to the US, but had to wait another five years in Europe for that to materialize. Finally, they made it, via the port of New Orleans. Their American sponsor lived in Stockton, which they made their way to by trains and buses. Dave's dad later told him that when they arrived in California, Stockton looked to him like all cowboys and Mexicans. The family's sponsor owned a ranch, and the arrangement was that Dave's mom and dad would work there. One day, his dad's boss sent him to San Francisco, an hour or so away, for supplies. One taste of The City, and his dad knew he had to move his family here. It was early 1951 and Dave's mom was already pregnant with him. The family made the move to the big city regardless. They settled in the Western Addition on the corner of Webster and Fulton. This was before redevelopment, mind you. In addition to its sizable Black population, there were also a significant number of European refugees in the neighborhood, too. Dave fondly remembers being a little boy and going to the Ukrainian bakery at the corner of Webster and McAllister. Other memories from Dave's early days include vague visions of the Acme beer brewery across from his house. Dave lets us know that today, there are remnants of that building still standing. Around the time Dave started school, his family moved to the Sunset District. This is when his memories really get going. He went to Parkside Elementary, which is today known as Dianne Feinstein. Dave rewinds a little to share the story of when Eisenhower visited SF as president. Dave's mom got him, his sister, and herself dressed up. They walked down to Van Ness, where the presidential motorcade was set to pass by. He recalls the president sitting, not in the car's seat, but above it, in open air, riding down the avenue waving at folks. So much about this would never happen today. When he was 10, Dave got his first camera. At our live event, he shared a photo he took with that camera at his sister's birthday party, seen in a gallery on this page. It's one of the oldest photos he has that he took himself. At that time, Dave was just a "kid with a camera," not serious about the art whatsoever. But his dad had a Leica camera and did take photography more seriously, at least when it came to family photos. He had bartered for the camera when he lived in the displaced persons camp in Europe, and had photos from that time. Dave still has some of those pictures. We go on a bit of a sidebar here, thanks to my question about how folks got their camera film developed back in the day. We also chat about the nature of film vs. digital. When he was in high school, Dave joined the photo club and developed in a darkroom for his first time. He says it was around this time that he started to have an affection for photography. We have to mention that he went to Lowell, which came after time at Herbert Hoover Junior High School. Dave points out that, even back then, "smart" kids went to Lowell, including his sister. Dave says he more or less got in on legacy, not good grades. He brought that with him through high school, and chose to go to City College when he wasn't able to get into four-year schools. In 1969, City College's photography program was a serious one. Dave considers it blue-collar, in fact, aimed at turning students into professional photographers. Dave ended up taking photos for the school paper, something he loved doing. I ask Dave about the late-Sixties in SF, and he obliges. He was 16 when the Summer of Love happened, and living just a few neighborhoods away from the Haight/Ashbury, his eyes were opened. He and his friends would visit the Haight every couple of days. He says it got so crowded with tourist buses and people that The City made Haight a one-way street. Still, they saw bands like Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Country Joe and the Fish at small venues or outdoors in the park. We go on a sidebar here to talk about The Fillmore back in the day. Dave's first job, which he had while still in high school, was selling shoes at Kinny Shoes (IYKYK) at Serramonte, which had just opened. Dave shares a family photo and talks a little about it, also available here in the gallery. Eventually, relatives moved to San Francisco and lived nearby Dave's family, so he grew up with cousins and aunts and uncles. Dave confirms that it was the case that he and his friends, like many folks I talk with who grew up back then, pretty much did whatever they wanted after school, with the understanding that you go home when it gets dark out. His stories include building skateboards out of wooden 2×4s and roller skates. Then we talk about a significant turn in Dave's life. It was the late-Sixties and the war in Vietnam was heating up. The draft was in effect, and the number of units Dave was taking at City College had fallen below the threshold for deferment. That year, 1969, had seen more US casualties than any year prior. His parents, having escaped war-torn Europe earlier in their lives, did not want their son serving in the military in any capacity. Some of his dad's relatives had settled in Paris after WWII. They helped arrange for Dave to live there for about six months starting in the fall of 1970. Check back tomorrow for Part 2 and the rest of Dave Glass's life story.
