Podcasts about while scott

While Scott is out doing THINGS, Brian and Dave blast through injuries and transfers that will affect your opening day lineup.

A day in the life on our homestead. My brother-in-law says we are always working. He is so right. And we love it. There is never a dull moment around here. For sure, sometimes it seems like just too much and wouldn't a life of leisure be preferable. No, not really. As I imagine that life, I can only see boredom and always searching for something new and interesting. Here we don't have to search for it as it comes to us every single day. Today I'll give you an overview of a whirlwind day I recently experienced. I want to take a minute and say welcome to all the new listeners and welcome back to the veteran homestead-loving regulars who stop by the FarmCast for every episode. I appreciate you all so much. I'm so excited to share with you what's going on at the farm this week. Our Virginia Homestead Life Updates I'm going to skip most of the updates on the animals as they will show up in my rendition of a day in the life on our homestead. I will just briefly mention that Sweet Pea and Johnny are still looking for a new “forever home”. We love them but we simply do not need four donkeys. We intentionally reduced our sheep population and now the coyotes have reduced it even further. It will take time to rebuild what we have lost. In the end, we will still have only a small number of sheep, perhaps a dozen or so, compared to our high of 70 animals in the flock. We are winding down our cashmere goat herd this fall. Next up will be bringing in a few Kiko goats. Perhaps I will do a whole podcast on this breed of goat. They were bred in New Zealand. The wild goats were bred with domestic stock to create a breed that is disease and parasite resistant. And my favorite attribute they bred for was little to no hoof maintenance. Most domestic goats in the US have a really hard time with their hooves. I look forward to raising goats that can be comfortable on their feet without constant attention. That's it for now. I want to get on to the topic of a day in the life on the homestead. I hope you enjoy this brief glimpse of the story of our life. A Day in the Life Our day begins the same every morning. Scott and I pray the rosary together. It's a great meditation and starts our day off in the right frame of mind. God first. Morning Milking Now we get ready for morning milking. There isn't much for me to as Scott handles most of the milking tasks. I handle some of the cleanup at the end. The only thing I have for this morning is to tend to the baby quail chicks. I make sure they have food and fresh water. The little ones get checked on twice a day. The grownups, only in the evening. Everyone looks good this morning and they are happy to have food and water. Morning Gardening Scott is still working on the milking so I take the opportunity for a brief walk through the garden. I decide to harvest some fresh herbs for the farmer's markets. It's a spur of the moment decision just because I have some time and it's a beautiful morning to be in the garden. I sprint back to the house, pick up some scissors and a bucket and I'm back out in the garden in a flash. I love cutting fresh herbs. This morning it's basil leaves, oregano sprigs and bunches of thyme. The smell is heavenly. The herbs are quickly stored in the cooler. I will package them later – probably tomorrow. Making a Snack I need to have protein snacks quickly available. Hard boiled eggs are one of my favorites. My Corsori, an Instapot lookalike, can handle 18 eggs at a time. Six minutes under pressure, six minutes cool down and natural pressure release, followed by a quick pressure release and open the lid. Six minutes in a cold-water bath, then peel. I like using my pressure cooker because the shells always just fall off when I am peeling them. We generally eat just two meals a day. Scott makes us brunch somewhere between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm. It is usually in that 11:00 to 12:00 range. If I plan well, dinner will be around 5:00 pm for me. Scott's dinner is always much later. Well, not always, but usually his preference is to work outside right up until milking time in the evening. He will eat after all of that is done and he has had a shower. That's an Italian evening meal time around 9:00 or 10:00 in the evening. Sometimes he even gets the Italian siesta in the afternoon. Most times not though.   Starting Strawberry Jam I've got four quarts of strawberries that need to be attended to today. I'll be making jam. I love strawberry jam. It's a quick job to cut out the stems and dice them up. Two quarts of cut berries and six cups of sugar. I'll add a dash of lemon to help maintain the bright red color. Well, the strawberries are mixed with the sugar in the pot on the stove, but I've got to interrupt that process and forego the cooking and canning part. I'll cover the pot with a clean towel and get back to it in a little while. This is a day in the life on the homestead. We need to take care of some animals. I have cream warming up in the butter churn. There is still about an hour before it will be warm enough to churn into butter. It should be possible to get it all done in time. Cattle Husbandry The flies have been horrendous. We have two suffering from pink eye. In humans we call it conjunctivitis. It is a bacterial infection of the eye. The flies irritate the eye and make it susceptible to the bacteria. The flies are also spreading it from one to another. Anyway, we put antibiotic cream directly in the eye and then followed up with injectable antibiotic. We are as natural as possible in raising and caring for our livestock. However, I'm sure you have heard me say this before, if they need medical treatment, they get it. In this case, blindness is a real possibility if the condition is left untreated. We spent quite some time checking on each and every cow to make sure there were only two affected. I even treated Newton, the youngest calf at three weeks of age. This was prophylactic just in case. The younger calves are often the most susceptible. He looked fine but we treated him anyway. Just the cream, not the injection. Time Trials The whole process took more time than I had planned. There were four different groups of animals. There are the milking girls. Then there is the group we call the nursery girls. We do not milk them, but they are nursing calves three calves between the two of them. We also have Luna in that group. She is a heifer and has no calf. And Buttercup is also in that group. She did not have a calf this year. The boys are always in a group by themselves because two of them are bulls. They can't just run with the girls. That would be a breeding disaster. And then there was Virginia and baby Newton. All in all, it took longer than the hour I had set aside but the cream was still in good shape for making butter. Making Butter I'm back inside now running the electric butter churn while the strawberries are heating up and cooking for the jam. It's a little risky to do both of these things at once as they both have a break point that must be met. I gambled anyway. I figured the butter would get done long before the strawberries and sugar reached the gel point. It didn't. I don't use pectin in my jams. I just cook it to gel point. That usually takes about 40 minutes or so. The butter got done just a few minutes before the jam reached the gel point. So, what do I do now? Well, I just turn the churn off and let the butter sit in the churn until I can get to it. I still had to be quick. The problem there is that the warmer the butter gets, the harder it is to work with. It is literally melting in my hands if it gets too warm. Finishing the Strawberry Jam The jam is ready. I quickly fill the jars, clean the rims, secure the lids and put them in the water-bath canner. Now I have time for the butter. It will take a while for the water to heat up to a rolling boil for the jam. Once it reaches that point, it is just a matter of setting a timer for how long to process the jam. That's 20 minutes at my altitude. I clean up the butter by rinsing it over and over with cold water. Then squish it firmly into 4 oz silicon soap molds and put the mold tray into the freezer. Tomorrow I will remove it from the freezer and pop out and wrap each 4 oz block of butter in paper. Now that the butter is in the freezer and the jam is processing in the canner, all of the clean-up for these two tasks is happening. I'm pretty messy when filling jars. There are bits of jam all over. And the butter? That requires lots of soap to get all that greasy mess in the churn, the bowls and utensils cleaned up. Whew, it feels good to get all that done. What's next? Yes, there is more. Making Blueberry Jam Now I'm ready to make blueberry jam. I smashed them, added the sugar and got started heating them up. That takes a while. I have time to get more jars ready for the blueberry jam. The jars of strawberry jam are finished and need to come out of the water-bath canner. I'll keep the water in it near boiling waiting for the blueberry jam. That makes the second batch quicker as the time to reach boil after adding the jars will be shorter. As the blueberry jam nears the gel point, I'm stirring constantly to keep it from sticking. Make sure to have my clothes covered. It begins to spit out blueberry goo all over the place. Stir more to keep that under control. That's another mess to be cleaned up later. Now it's reached gel point, repeat the filling of jars, adding lids and put them in the canner. I'm a little tired but there is still so much to do. I think I'll take a much-needed short break while this second batch of jam is processing. I have about 45 minutes or so to relax. Weekly Newsletter It's now late afternoon and I need to create the weekly newsletter for all who are following what we are up to on the homestead. I like communicating with all of my customers and those who just follow us because they like hearing about our progress on the homestead. It's important to get the information out weekly. There are always updates and changes to what is happening at the farmer's markets. I've done this so many times, that I have made the process quick and efficient. The newsletter is done and out in the email ethers. Now it's probably time for evening milking and other chores. Evening Chores We start each milking event by warming up Newton's milk. He gets two half-gallon calf milk bottles morning and evening. That's two gallons per day. As a side note, tomorrow, I'll spend quite a bit of time filling up gallon jars for just this purpose. We store his milk in one-gallon jars. Twice a day we put a gallon jar in a bucket of hot water. After about a half hour, we pour out the now cold water and refill it with hot water again. In another half hour it is warm enough for him to drink ready to be poured into the calf bottles. All of this minutia becomes second nature as we do it twice a day. Go get the cows, get them prepped for milking, turn on the machine and put the milking inflations on their teats. Wait for about six minutes and they are done. Two at a time so there is a second round for Violet. The milk gets filtered and poured into five-gallon cans which are stored in the bulk cooling tank. The milk must be cooled to below 40 degrees in less than two hours. Then the clean-up procedures begin. While Scott is doing those milking tasks, I'm taking care of the quail. The babies get food and water again. I collect eggs from the big girls, give them feed, and check their automatic watering system. I refill the 5-gallon bucket that automatically feeds into little cups in their cages as needed. Not a lot to do here, but a daily tasks nonetheless. Clean Up Time At the end is lots of clean up. Calf bottles, milk filter, milking machine – all have to be meticulously cleaned and sanitized. Then dinner, a shower and it's time to wind down for the evening. For me that is usually around 8:00 or 8:30. Scott is sometimes just eating dinner at 9:00 or 9:30 – he may or may not have had that wonderful shower. Tomorrow's To-Do List There is a lot more to do tomorrow. It will be Thursday. I need to get ready for the farmer's markets on Friday and Saturday. That means making labels for those two new jams. And do you remember those herbs I cut early this morning? Yeah, those have to be packaged. I have three more half-gallons of cream and need to make another butter. I'm not sure how I got behind on that, but it will be good to catch up. The Milk All milk cans need to be emptied and cleaned. I'll pour milk into 14 one-gallon jars for feeding Newton for the next week. And I will pour up milk for Friday and Saturday herd share pickups. I'll need a gallon and a half of milk put back to make yogurt on Monday or Tuesday next week. I may even pour up some drinking milk for us. Any remaining milk gets the cream skimmed off the top. I store the cream in half gallon jars. The Cream The remaining cans usually have enough cream to skim to make one batch of butter. That will also happen next week on Tuesday or Wednesday. I make three pounds of butter at a time, usually once a week. I'll have some extra cream to add back into the skim milk to make Scott's half and half. He loves his coffee. In the end, there will be leftover skim milk and that gets poured on the garden. The green beans and tomatoes are loving that milk fertilizer. They look amazing. Not a Typical Day in the Life The day I just described is not every day, but it is very often the life that I live. It is wonderful. Actually, on most days, I laze around and would only make one batch of jam and maybe no butter. Some days, Scott takes a nap in the middle of the day or comes in and just vegges out on Facebook or YouTube. Sometimes he is doing more than vegging out. Sometimes he is sharing his day in the life on our Facebook page. If you are not following us there, please do. You get my perspective here, and Scott's perspective can be found on the Facebook page with pictures and videos. Just search for Peaceful Heart Farm and it should come right up. Like us and share our content. Well, I got tired just talking about all of that. I think I'll end early today. We have that luxury any time we want – within limits. The cows still need to be milked twice daily and the quail need daily care. But other than that, we set our schedule.  Final Thoughts So, my brother-in-law says we seem to always be working and when is age going to slow us down? We hope that's a long way in the future. I'm 66 and Scott will be 66 next month. This lifestyle keeps us fit. We get to eat healthy food that we have produced ourselves. Or at the very least, we know the farmer from which we purchased those eggs and hydroponic lettuce. And the blueberries and strawberries that went into the jams came from local farmers as well. We all grow good food and support each other. I hope you enjoyed that walk through a day in my life. As I said, every day is not that busy, but I really enjoy the challenge in finding out how much I can accomplish in a day. I'm not crazy enough to do it every day though. I also need to spend time sitting at my computer making podcasts for you guys. I love you so much. Thank you so much for listening and sharing our joy.

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner and I am your host this week for Epi259 of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. Thank you for joining me. Did you happen to catch last week's episode hosted by my co-host and every-other-show-host Marc Hershon? It was called "Mixin' Up A Mess O'Soundcasts" and featured clips from soundcasts Did You Get My Text?, Left-Handed Radio, May Contain Nuts, Stay F. Homekins, and a mini-clip from The Midnight Miracle. He also featured a clip from a recent Jock Doc Podcast in which he guest-starred. That episode of Succotash is still available to listen to on Apple and Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, and several other listening platforms so why not check it out when you get the chance? It's worth your time. This week, I've got clips for you from soundcasts Self Esteem Party, Conversation For Adults, and Comedy Bang Bang...and since it's now officially Summer, we're brought to you by Henderson's Pants Wake Island Abbreviated Trousers. I can't think of a single reason to delay the proceedings any further so…on with the clips! CLIPS Self Esteem Party They call themselves "the perfect blend of comedy and honesty. Each week Alana Johnston interviews one of her showbiz pals and dives right into the core of who they are in this hilarious and painfully real podcast that explores all things Self Esteem." Our clip is from their episode from March 16, 2021, with guest Nick Wiger (Doughboys, How Did This Get Played?) talking about phone-free Sundays, Alana's text anxiety and how Nick is now best friends with Alana's dad! Conversation For Adults Culture-critic Jimi Izrael rediscovers America by talking to people you may or may not know, about everything. What comes up, comes out. Lots of fun. No filter. We're featuring a clip with guest Andy Kindler (a past Succotash guest - Epi55: Noshin' with Andy Kindler). Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast Join host Scott Aukerman (Comedy Bang! Bang! on IFC, Mr. Show) for a weekly podcast that blends conversation and character work from today's funniest comedians. While Scott begins by traditionally interviewing the celebrities, the open-door policy means an assortment of eccentric oddballs can pop by at any moment to chat, compete in games, and engage in comic revelry. Our clip is from just back around the corner: June 21st of 2021, when director Edgar Wright returned along with Ron and Russell Mael of the band Sparks to talk to Scott all about their new documentary The Sparks Brothers. If you wouldn't mind reviewing and rating us wherever that is possible you would be doing us the greatest of favors because it helps people find us. How did YOU find us? Did someone recommend us to you? Did you click on us out of curiosity because we were on the same page as something else you were looking for? Another option that I can't think of at the moment? Anyway, "tune in" to our next episode which should be #260 and "see" what Marc Hershon cooks up for you. Thank you for listening, Be Decent To Each Other, and if someone ask you if you've heard anything interesting lately would you mind telling them about us? We would really appreciate it. It's what we mean when we say "Please, Pass The Succotash". — Tyson Saner

We had the pleasure of interviewing Jake Scott over Zoom video! Jake Scott releases his eight-track project titled Goldenboy, a record that taps a top-shelf collection of pop's hottest collaborators, including Noah Conrad (Ashe, Niall Horan, LANY), Rob Moose (Bon Iver, Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers), Josh Kerr (Kelsea Ballerini, Camilo Cabello, Little Big Town), Martin Johnson (Boys Like Girls, Jason Derulo), Brandon Paddock (Avril Lavigne, Christina Perri), John Greenham (Billie Eilish, Finneas, Cautious Clay) and Chad Copelin (Train, Third Eye Blind). Raised in a rural Southern household, Scott breaks the stereotypical mold by vulnerably shedding the traditional tropes of masculinity. While Scott recorded most of the project from a family barn in Arkansas, the sonics are anything but homegrown. He has a smooth sound similar to JP Saxe's catchy, relatable intimacy, and he flawlessly blends it with soulful pop melodies reminiscent of Ed Sheeran. Accompanying the EP is a colorful visualization of Scott grappling with breaking out of society's mold. Watch the “Goldenboy” video above and here.  To celebrate Goldenboy, Scott recently launched his own virtual donut shop, Goldenboy Donuts. Available exclusively through Grubhub, Goldenboy Donuts is partnering with local brick-and-mortar donut shops in 11 cities for a six-month partnership. Each donut is handpicked by Scott and named after songs off the EP. Flavors include “Off” The Beaten Path (Apple Fritter), The Shadow (Chocolate Long John), and The Goldenboy (Regular Glazed), and more. Read more about the delicious partnership via Forbes, and order your own Goldenboy Donuts here. The LA-based passionate-pop-heartthrob has made waves as an independent artist with more than 280 million cumulative streams. Scott's first three songs off Goldenboy --“Off,” “Meet My Shadow,” and “Anymore” -- have already amassed more than 4 million streams and landed on Spotify's New Music Friday, Chill Pop, Fresh & Chill, and Pop Right Now, plus Apple Music's New In Pop and Relationship Goals, just to name a few. Scott has risen to become one of streaming's breakout stars with his unconventional release strategy of writing, producing, and releasing one new song a month, which he did from 2018-2020, earning him 150M+ Spotify streams in 2020 alone. Known for writing "the lyrical language of love and life" (Music Connection), Scott not only pens all his own music -- like hits "Like No One Does” (34M + Spotify streams), “Tuesdays” (28M+ Spotify streams), and “Favorite T-Shirt” (28M+ Spotify streams) -- additionally, he's been a collaborator for some of today's biggest names, including Aloe Blacc, Carrie Underwood, Jason Mraz and Christina Perri. We want to hear from you!

For episode 336, it's a live show in primetime for the Bucs' 2021 schedule release. While Scott and Jon start the show, Mark Scott, and Taylor all stop by the show as well. Everyone gives their thoughts on the opening game against the Cowboys and the uncertainty of some of the quarterbacks they'll face. They also discuss what is a tough early part of the schedule that smooths out at the very end of the regular season. The Bucs have five primetime games and a lot of 4:00 PM starts, so you'll see them many different times as the year keeps going. Hear it all on the Pewter Report Podcast, energized by CELSIUS.

This week, Scott and Karl discuss Jordan B. Peterson's Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life.  As the companion volume to 12 Rules for Life, Peterson's new book offers "further guidance on the perilous path of modern life." While Scott and Karl agree these are decent, sensible rules for life, they are not well-grounded and possibly even planted in sand.   "I've read books for this show that I don't agree with, written by people who I think are awful like Marcuse and Alinsky," Scott says, "But their books at least hang together to push their end. This doesn't do that."  Both a self-help manual and a bestseller, Beyond Order has already resonated so profoundly with so many. Karl later adds, "It's a shallow pond, but it's a good pond."  Tune in for more Peterson talk, brought to you by onlinegreatbooks.com. 

So we wanted to go over some books that we think you all should read. Jason brings us the Dresden Files with a bit of Magic, a bit of Suspense, and a bit of Intrigue. While Scott goes forward with the new Star Wars High Republic Book: Light of the Jedi

Scott Roush is the Deputy Regional Manager of the Northeast Region of Colorado Parks & Wildlife. In this episode, we discussed the pandemic’s effect on the outdoor industry. While Scott’s facts and figures were specific to Colorado, many of the overall trends were not. We covered the increase in outdoor recreation during the lockdown, issues faced by the state due to concentrated numbers of users, trends in fishing vs. hunting license sales, the new requirement for access to state wildlife areas, proposed permitting systems to alleviate pressure on sensitive areas, and more.  CPW Website: Colorado Parks and Wildlife

Scott Desgrosseilliers is the CEO and founder of Wicked Reports. He established the company to facilitate optimization and acceleration of the digital marketing ROI for small and medium-sized businesses. The ideal Wicked Reports customers are people who sell products online. Scott opines that companies should strive to track lifetime customer value. Wicked Reports strives to help SaaS businesses have a clear picture of their paid advertising progress. Listen to Scott as he discusses his story with Geordie Wardman. What You Will Learn How Scott started his journey Why entrepreneurs should spend money on a campaign and the impact of the same on long-term ROI How Scott and his friend leveraged Facebook campaigns to attract leads Importance of Email when it comes to closing leads Why entrepreneurs should read widely What Scott does best How did Scott gain customers while still consulting for his friend? How Scott came up with his pricing What challenges did Scott face during his journey? How companies can leverage offers to increase awareness and make more money Where does Scott source his developers? Why you should pay your employees well Which of Scott’s marketing methods is the most effective for his business? In this Episode: Marketing attribution is the value or credit that you allocate to a particular marketing touchpoint. Experts define it as the science of establishing the ideal marketing drive or media that drives revenue. Scott says the idea behind market attribution is that you spent where your money is making money to increase your earnings. Again, you desist from wasting money where you do not make money. Before starting his SaaS journey, Scott was running databases amid other tasks like being a technical architect and project management. He was getting tired of these tasks and wanted to leave. When Scott shared his feelings with his seniors, they requested him to work for a year. Scott shares some detailed information with Geordie on what happened next. Listen in to find out what he said. Scott would later collaborate with his friend, who had a lobster business and lots of work to handle. However, he (Scott's friend) was struggling to keep his business afloat amid a competitive space. At some point, Scott's friend sought his help in a bid to convert leads. Scott explains how he leveraged this opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities. He ended up becoming his friend’s consultant, and within a short period, he helped him close many deals. Listen to Scott as he shares all the details with Geordie. Scott says that he established Wicked Reports out of passion but reiterates that the company happened by chance. After launching his SaaS Company, Scott and his team printed T-shirts with the company name ingrained in them. The team wore the T-shirts and walked around, asking people what they were doing to track their ROI. They interviewed different business owners to find out whether their emails were earning them money. Scott and his team were surprised that no one they interviewed had a definitive answer. That is how Scott identified a pain point and decided to work on it. He says the demand for a SaaS product was so high that his company hit the first MRR within the first year after launching. Surprisingly, they achieved all this by relying on word of mouth. Listen to Scott as he explains how he and his team worked tirelessly to achieve this tremendous success. Even with this success, Scott says they were using an ugly product. Listen as he explains his sentiments. At some point, Scott and his team organized a show to promote the business. He talks about how they made colossal amounts of money from the show and numerous leads. You will need to hear the story in his words to understand. While Scott has no problem hiring from any part of the world, he prefers working with people within the same time zone. He also opts to work with people who speak English. According to him, doing so enhances convenience. Scott says he has both full time employees and others who work under full-time contracts. All of his employees work remotely. Scott reiterates that content marketing is critical not only for his business but for many others. He says has a content team that leverages his thoughts to come up with the right content for his business. He believes that great content is crucial for the success of any business.  References Scott Desgrosseilliers Wicked Reports Blog Wicked Reports Scott Desgrosseilliers

Life and death on the homestead. It is our joy and sorrow in daily life. Much to talk about here. I want to take a minute and say welcome to all the new listeners and to say welcome back to the veteran homestead-loving regulars who stop by the FarmCast for every episode. Thank you so much for making this podcast possible. Our Virginia Homestead Life Updates Should I start with the bad news or the good news? There was only the one area of difficulty and there is so much good news to share. Let’s get the bad news out of the way and then move on to all the wonderful happenings on our homestead. Quail – Life and Death I have good news and bad news regarding the quail. First the bad. We have a predator. In the past couple of days, we lost four birds. I won’t describe the details. Suffice it to say it was not pretty. We do our best to keep all of our animals safe. But sometimes predators are really, really persistent and innovative. We had a similar issue last fall. Just when you think you’ve taken care of the problem, a sly predator comes up with a new angle. The quail hutch is two levels. On the top are two large cages for growing out the new chicks. Currently there are 16 on one side and 17 on the other for a total of 33. Actually, that is not right. There are more than that up there now. Before the predator there were 33 up there. Now the breeding stock has joined them. I believe there are 13 of them currently residing in the penthouse with the original 33. The bottom level of the hutch had the breeding stock. There are three cages there and each had six birds. Two of the cages had four hens and two roosters and one had five hens and one rooster. Ideally, we would have five hens and one rooster in each of the cages on the bottom for a total of 18 birds. However, last year we ended up with not enough hens to fill out the desired scenario and two extra roosters. How did that happen you say? Let me fill you in on that part of the story Last fall I learned my lesson about quail fertility. My last batch of 40 something eggs only produced eight chicks. I did know that the rooster’s fertility would diminish in the fall along with the number of eggs the hens produce. Once spring arrives, all returns to normal. That’s the normal cycle. In September the hens were still producing lots of eggs so I collected them all and put them into the incubator. Again, eight chicks out of 40 something eggs. The hens were laying eggs, just not fertile eggs. After a couple of weeks in the brooder these eight chicks moved into one of the upper cages. We planned on keeping the hens to fill out the breeding stock and processing the roosters. There were only eight birds to begin with and the predator knocked that down to six. Four were hens and they filled out some of the breeding stock that we needed. But what to do with the two extra roosters. We decided not to bother with processing only two. They got added to the breeder cages so it was all one big happy family. Back to the present time. One of our ladies just died for no apparent reason. That happens sometimes. And then, the very next day, the predator began striking. We lost one rooster that first day. The next day we lost three more birds. At that point, we needed to act quickly or lose even more of our breeding stock. Once a predator has found out how to attack, it will continue unless something is done. The first step was to move all of the breeding stock to the upper level. We tied a piece of yarn on a leg of each of them so we can find them again. In a week’s time, both new and old will be moved to another location. We will restock the breeder cages and process the rest. Quail only live a couple of years anyway and the breeders are already into their second year.  We will restock the breeder cages with all new birds from this batch. Protect the Quail Scott spent most of yesterday fortifying that hutch – again. I believe we have the issue resolved but it was still sad to lose those beautiful birds. We don’t know what animal was getting to them. It climbed up on the outside and somehow had to be hanging upside down under the bottom of the lower level. It must have been hanging on with one paw and grabbing with the other. Anyway, Scott added another layer of hardware cloth to the bottom of the 2 X 4 frame. There is the floor of the cage and then another layer four inches below that. The perpetrator can no longer reach the bottom of their cage where they are standing. Baby Quail On the upside regarding the quail. Besides the 33 in the upper level, we have 50 chicks in brooders. They are about a week and a half old now and already about half complete with their feathers. All chicks are born with down and no feathers. That’s one reason they are in the brooder. We can keep a light on them so they stay warm. Once they are fully feathered – which is about two short weeks for quail – they will be able to handle the changing temperatures just fine. Anytime after that, they can be moved outside. It is amazing how fast these little guys grow. Cows – No Life and Death – Just Life More good news here. I mentioned in an earlier podcast that the vet estimated Buttercup was six months along in a nine-month gestation cycle. Well she was off by a long way. Maybe she thought the Normande calves would be larger. Anyway, Buttercup delivered a beautiful full-term heifer calf last Friday. I named her Virginia. Scott named Wendell after one of the main characters in “The 10th Kingdom” so I picked Virginia as she is another main character in that TV mini-series. The show aired on NBC in 2000. There were five shows, each was two hours. I believe it is available on Netflix now. It is a fantasy fairytale miniseries. We have had it on DVD for many years and have watched it many times. Buttercup’s Virginia is beautiful, healthy and a welcome addition to our herd of Normande cows. This morning I had to rescue Luna. She had stuck her head through the fence and couldn’t get it back out. The slope of her head allowed her to push through, but the ridge on top is not sloped on the back side. Every time she turned her head to try and get past that ridge, her ear would get caught. It came down to getting out the wire cutters to get her free. I wonder if she learned her lesson. Some of the goats don’t. She appears to be fine but it gave me a scare for sure. She was really in distress. Donkeys The donkeys got their nails done this week. Donkey hooves need to be trimmed three to four times a year. This time, while Scott was doing the manicure, I added a nice touch to their experience. Daisy and Sweet Pea usually just stand there and take it, but Cocoa and especially Johnny really don’t like this hoof trimming business at all. While Scott was working on Daisy, I was brushing out the winter coats on Sweet Pea and Cocoa. I had already gotten Daisy taken care of while Scott was gathering equipment and getting ready. Johnny is too shy and so didn’t get his brushing. The girls have deep winter coats and there is a lot of hair coming out. I brushed and brushed and brushed. I got all of the loose stuff. It is not all gone and probably won’t be for another month. Once it is completely shed, the fluffy look will be replaced with the sleek polished look. Garden In the garden we worked through the rain to get the tomatoes supported. They are growing nicely and I am looking forward to lots and lots of tomatoes in the near future. I will begin canning tomato sauce and barbecue sauce this fall. Gotta refill those shelves. The sunflowers are amazing. Some of them are three feet tall already. I said I am growing these just for fun – and oh they are fun. The green beans are blooming. I planted about 50 square feet of green beans. It was supposed to be 75 but I planted one bed with lima beans that I had lying around. I picked a couple of sweet banana peppers and there are lots of cayenne and jalapenos coming along already. I didn’t see any blooms on the California Wonder bell pepper plants. Those plants may need to get larger before they can support those giant bell peppers. We will be inundated with peppers in the very near future. My plan for those is dehydrating most of them. I might even mix a few and grind them up into a homemade chili powder. What do you think? I’m loving the woven ground cloth we put down. The garden looks pristine. Weeding takes only a short time and little effort. We shall see how this garden progresses. Will there be problems with disease and pests – more than normal, I mean. We shall see. Orchard After getting the tomatoes propped up, we moved on to picking blueberries and strawberries. Last week I made some awesome blueberry jam and I plan on making another batch tomorrow. It is so great to pick the fruits of our labor. And so tasty too! There were cicadas in the blueberry bushes. Those guys are mostly done with their life cycle. The noise has finally stopped. Perhaps some small fraction of the females are still laying eggs. Now the Japanese beetles are arriving in force. But we have some great traps that will help keep them away from the fruit bushes, canes and trees. Our fruit is pest challenged every year. Mostly by the Japanese beetles. I also ran across a hornet nest and two small wasp nests in the blueberry bushes. No stings though. Thank goodness! I don’t respond well to stings. EpiPen at the ready. Creamery The creamery has not progressed much this week as you can imagine. With the above activities, Scott has not been able to move forward as quickly as he would have likely. We’ve also had rain, rain and more rain over the past few days. If the rain lets up today, he will be back at it with gusto. Final Thoughts That’s it for today’s podcast. A small bit of bad news and lots of good news. That’s how we like it. It’s an amazing experience. In the spring things change so fast. The trees are all leafed out. Just a few short weeks ago their branches were bare. The grass is growing like crazy. The animals definitely love that. And the garden has gone from a blank slate to greenery waving in the breeze.

Finances in relationships can be a large source of stress and conflict. Developing a budget and deciding where money is or isn’t spent isn’t an easy conversation to navigate. Scott Milnes specializes in helping couples navigate conflict, create the life they’ve imagined, and recovering from divorce. After a divorce at the young age of 29—and dealing with a heart-wrenching breakup years later—he knew something needed to change. Listen to this episode as we discuss how his past influenced his future, financial infidelity, prenuptial agreements, and much more.  Outline of This Episode [0:58] Scott Milnes: Founder of The Great Relationship Academy [5:19] Did money play a factor in his failed relationships?  [7:50] Does money amplify problems or is it the problem? [13:51] What resources does Scott provide to his clients? [18:19] Is financial stress higher in younger or older couples? [20:20] A discussion surrounding financial infidelity [23:00] Should you consider a prenuptial agreement? [29:33] How to get back on your feet financially after a divorce [38:55] Wrapping up: solid financial advice to live by [41:49] Connect with Scott Does money amplify the problem—or is it the problem? Before Scott started The Great Relationship Academy, he ran a divorce recovery ministry, “Healing from Heartache”. He found that couples come off the rails in one of two ways: quantity and control. Quantity is as it sounds—the couples perhaps didn’t have a high-enough income to cover expenses and it is a source of friction. However, he found that the larger issue wasn’t how much money was being made, but how it was being controlled.  For couples who were in complete agreement with how they managed their money, it didn’t matter how much of it they had. They were on the same page. Some other couples with all the money in the world—but no plan in place to manage their assets—weren’t even in the same book. They had no plan, no control, and while they had the necessary income, it caused unnecessary friction.  He notes that regardless of the outcome, “Spouses just want to be included in the ongoing conversation about how we’re controlling these assets”. Keep listening to hear how he helps couples gauge financial compatibility in his academy.  Finances in Relationships: proper planning is key It is important—regardless of how much money you make—to align with your spouse/significant other on your budget and your goals. Take some time at the beginning of your relationship or marriage to discuss a general direction you want to take and where your money will be allocated.  Something that Scott and his wife do that he highly recommends is having a joint checking account for expenses—think house payment, car payments, groceries, etc. They allocate 50% of their personal net income to a joint account. The other 50% goes into their personal discretionary accounts. Scott uses it to pay for his motorcycle, which is his “toy” and not necessarily a necessity. He’ll also use it for nights out with friends or anything where his wife isn’t directly involved. It is a simple yet effective tool that helps you prevent conflict. You each control what’s done with your own money, and have a plan in place to cover expenses together.  Should you get a prenuptial agreement?  Anyone getting married for the first time doesn’t want to think about getting a prenup. After all, their marriage will be “forever”. But someone who has never been married doesn’t have the experiential knowledge to make that decision. Scott is all for prenups for a simple reason—it makes divorce an emotional choice, not a financial decision. The blunt fact is that 50% of first marriages end in divorce, and the statistics are even worse for second marriages. You cannot be naive about this decision. If you’re young and have no assets to bring to the table, perhaps a prenup doesn’t make sense. But if you have assets built up, perhaps it’s worth considering where those assets will go after 5 or 10 years of marriage. It benefits all parties involved—including future children.  Scott gets that it isn’t a romantic discussion—but it is planning for your future. Good people meet, get married, and grow apart and it isn’t always someone’s fault. A prenup helps facilitate a smooth process that doesn’t end with lawyers and walking away with less than you both deserve.  How to get back on your feet financially I asked Scott to share some of his thoughts—for those who are recently divorced—on how to get back on your feet financially. It’s so easy to fall into destructive habits after dealing with the emotional roller coaster that divorce can be. So what should you do? Avoid retail therapy: Everything has changed when you get divorced. You have to reevaluate your lifestyle and goals. Your self-esteem is likely at an all-time low. When Scott got divorced, he went on a spending binge and racked up substantial debt. He recommends embracing a season of minimalism. Stick to the basics and don’t make emotional spending decisions.  Don’t make any big geographic move: Your first instinct after a divorce may be to run—to get out of town as soon as possible. While Scott acknowledges that a move may be in your future, you want to wait and do it from a place of strength and not as a means to run from your pain. He describes it as an “Outside solution to an inside problem”.  Don’t make large financial decisions: Sometimes simplicity is key. Avoid quitting your job or making large financial decisions that could impact your future negatively.  Scott notes that you must be patient with the process. You are in a phase where you have to rediscover who you are and reinvent yourself. You have a chance for a bigger, better, and brighter life.

While Scott and Mark travel back from London, Trevor, Matt, and Taylor Skype in to break down what was a really bad Bucs game. Which was the bigger issue for the Bucs? Was it Jameis Winston or the offensive line blocking in front of him. The guys discuss that topic along with whether Jameis Winston will ever turn into a top quarterback, or if this is what you'll get, some hot days and some cold. It may seem like groundhog's day at this point, but once again the secondary was a huge disappointment, but where do the Bucs go from here? Is there a solution to fix it or is it just better luck next year. The group then decides what the Bucs need to do during the bye week if they want to get back on track.

This is it - the moment that Scott has been building up to for the last year. He's been tirelessly working to put a project into the world that is consistent with who he is and what he wants to accomplish. On this episode of The Amazing Seller, you'll hear from Scott as he gives a background story for context, explains how his story has impacted the lives of others, and of course - the big reveal! You'll want to pay extra close attention to this exciting and special episode coming to you on the heels of Brand Accelerator Live!  Setting the stage  If you've been part of the TAS community for very long, you know that Scott has quite the compelling story. From his days working construction with his father to his early days selling on Ebay - Scott's story has been anything but boring. Through all of Scott's successes and challenges - one thing stood out from all the rest - family. Scott's family was the motivator that got him into and then later out of the construction business. He wanted to provide for his family, and he wanted to spend time with his family - these two things are at odds with each other - right? Wrong! Scott soon created a path that would allow him to spend time with his family and provide a comfortable life for them at the same time.  Growing in confidence While Scott knew he was a competent construction worker - he realized that he did not want to spend 60 hours or more at the job site each week. Scott's skill set he built while working with his father was the key to give Scott the confidence he needed to go out on a limb and try something new. Something new started as a photography business that Scott created with his wife, Lisa. The company grew for a while and then Scott discovered new opportunities to make an income that would provide for his family - ecommerce.  The Amazon Guy As many of you know - Scott learned the ins and outs of the ecommerce world over several years of retail arbitrage and selling on Amazon and Ebay. Before long, Scott decided to take the insights and lessons he learned from his own experience and offer them to the rest of the ecommerce industry. After several years of The Amazing Seller podcast, Scott became known as "The Amazon Guy." While Scott is proud of the work he's done with TAS - he started to kind of chafe against getting pegged as "The Amazon Guy." He knew that his story had so much more potential to impact people beyond the scope of the ecommerce industry.  The next chapter  All of the backstory and building has come to this - the big reveal! Listening to the audio, you really get the sense that Scott is BEYOND excited to share this news and the next chapter with the TAS community.  Scott is now an AUTHOR! He is happy to announce the launch of his new book, "The Take Action Effect: Proven Steps to Build a Future-Proof Business & Create Your Ultimate Freedom."  In this book, Scott shows you how to discover the path to freedom. You'll learn how to break through the limitations of your job, read the stories of people like you who have gotten themselves unstuck, and discover the action plan that will bring you the freedom and flexibility you've been looking for.

The 2019 NYS Tourism Excellence Award winners will be honored at the New York State Tourism Industry Association’s annual meeting on September 27. I had the privilege of talking to each of the winners about their award-winning programs, how those programs impacted tourism in their area and what they learned from being part of the program. The interviews had underlying themes of creativity, partnership, celebration and storytelling. This episode shares the wisdom and stories of those award winners, and I hope you come away as motivated and enlightened as I did. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I share my conversations with: David Lee, Marketing Operations Manager at the Finger Lakes Visitors Connection Rob Casetti, Senior Director at Corning Museum of Glass Jennifer Sammartino, Deputy Chief of Staff for Visit Staten Island Scott Keller, Executive Director of Hudson Valley River National Heritage Area Jennifer Ackerson, owner of ALON Marketing Group What You Will Learn in This Episode: David Lee’s best advice to tourism marketing professionals from his experiences at the Finger Lakes Visitors Connection and other places The 150-year history of glass in Corning and what Corning Museum of Glass did to make their monumental Glass Barge project a resounding success How Jennifer Sammartino and Visit Staten Island took their destination from “the fifth borough” to a vibrant, bustling destination with a great waterfront corridor The ingenuity of Scott Keller’s Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area team, as they devised an app to tell the story of all the national heritage sites along the Hudson River Rail line. What Jennifer Ackerson and her company, ALON Marketing Group, do to give back to New York’s destinations and teach the state’s businesses how to grow and be successful tourism spots Finger Lakes Visitors Connection David Lee is the Marketing Operations Manager for the Finger Lakes Visitors Connection, a position he has held for almost four years. Prior to that, David got his start busing tables, bartending, and eventually managing the IT at Lakes Nama and Canandaigua. David’s technological experience helped him land a job in tourism, where he has stayed for the past ten years. In the tourism industry, David has come to love helping people spend their free time enjoying themselves in the places that he’s grown up. He likes shaping experiences and seeing the things he’s worked so hard on benefit people directly, even if it’s just a map helping them to find their way. David encourages all tourism professionals to embrace their own leadership if they want to find themselves in management positions. He stressed creativity, knowing your strengths, and knowing your weaknesses when making decisions and taking on projects. Finally, David reminds all of us of how crucial it is that we take risks, be vulnerable, and make mistakes to learn and grow as tourism professionals. Following this advice is how David won the Excellence in Young Professional Leadership Award. Corning Museum of Glass Rob Casetti is the Senior Director at the Corning Museum of Glass and the recipient of the Excellence in Overall Tourism Marketing Award. Starting out as a designer and project planner, early tourism struggles led Rob to trust in data and customer behavior to drive creativity and innovation. Since then, he and his team have engaged in numerous complex projects, including the now award-winning Glass Barge. The barge explores 150 years of glass history in New York, with 30 stops spread across five months stretching from Brooklyn to Buffalo to the Finger Lakes. This barge celebrates the voyage of glass from Corning to Brooklyn that occurred right after the Civil War. It features live glassblowing demonstrations, historic sites, authentic maritime travel, and many other attractions along the way. Rob credits the success of such a massive undertaking to partnerships with numerous outlets, including CVBs, museums, markets, and other locales. Understanding the complexity of the project and leveraging these partnerships helped bring the Glass Barge to 55,000 people, an amazing number. Rob is humbled to receive the award and knows how incredible it is to be recognized in a tourist state as great as New York. Visit Staten Island Jennifer Sammartino is the Deputy Chief of Staff for Visit Staten Island and the recipient of the Excellence in Tourism Marketing Projects Award. In 2017, Jennifer was made Director of Tourism for New York’s fifth borough, which suffered from a reputation problem for a long time. While it doesn’t have Times Square or the Statue of Liberty, Staten Island is home to a pleasant mix of urban and rural areas, plenty of fun activities, historic Richmondtown, and the state’s only Tibetan museum. The hard part was building the borough’s waterfront corridor, raising awareness, and attracting tourists by removing negative stereotypes. Through collaboration with Empire State Development, I Love New York, The Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, and others, Jennifer and her team were able to elevate Staten Island. Popular tourist destinations and transportation outlets were prime targets for marketing campaigns while talking to the locals about why they loved Staten Island gave Jennifer a special lens through which to view the borough. The combination of partnership and local stories informed her team and helped them to revitalize Staten Island’s image as a fun tourist attraction, not just New York’s fifth borough. Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area Scott Keller is the Executive Director of the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area and recipient of the Excellence in Tourism Marketing Projects Award. Scott’s team developed a river and train tour app for riders of the Hudson Line between New York City and Albany. The app runs based on the theme of “What’s out the window?” When riders see something out of the train window or along the river, they can enter the app and explore six different themes, each one packed with historical information and stories about all of the sights to see. The trip was inspired by kayaking tours down the Hudson River and later evolved into a printed map of national heritage sites before finally becoming an app. While Scott acknowledges the difficulty of building, maintaining, and paying for an app, he credits his success to hard work and partnerships with places like Empire State Development and the app development company Oncell. Scott is honored to receive the award and blaze a new trail for Hudson River Valley tourism. Alon Marketing Group Jennifer Ackerson is the owner of ALON Marketing Group and a recipient of an Excellence in Leadership Award. She got her start in tourism at Discover Long Island 25 years ago. Jen has since built her consultancy and seen the tourism marketing industry grow and evolve, all while keeping her favorite things about it: creativity, partnerships, and helping destinations succeed. She loves teaching and giving back to the communities she helps and stays motivated by working with people and destinations she cares about. Her marketing consulting company, ALON Marketing Group, has partnered with New York City to roll out a training program delivering all of her knowledge from 20 years of tourism marketing experience. The program will train businesses in sales, marketing, operations, and how to attract more tourism. Jen recommends all tourism leaders ask questions, network, follow up, and represent themselves well to see results in the industry. She thinks the award is very cool, and is honored to receive it. Overview The common theme amongst all of these Excellence Award winners is the creativity, tenacity, and collaboration they have all brought to the table in different ways. Finger Lakes Visitors Connection’s David Lee is young but has the experience and spunk of an industry veteran. The Corning Museum of Glass achieved a colossal feat with its Glass Barge through partnerships and elbow grease. Visit Staten Island helped bring Staten Island from the back of people’s minds to the forefront of NYC tourism. Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area helped use modern technology to pique people’s curiosity about all of the exciting sights along the Hudson River. ALON Marketing Group brings Jennifer Ackerson’s 20+ years of experience to businesses and tourism professionals across New York in a friendly, teachable way. All of these award winners have helped foster innovation and drive New York’s tourism industry forward, and I am honored to speak with all of them about their accomplishments.

BMX Flatland contests go back to the early days of BMX. While contests aren't for everyone, they bring a community of like-minded people together for a common interest. VooDoo Jam is the premiere American BMX flatland contest held in New Orleans Louisiana. It brings not only riders from around the United States.... but some of the best riders from all over the world. The main man behind the plan is life long flatlander, Scott O'Brien. Like many old school riders Scott competed in the AFA, also known as the American Freestyle Association. Their national contest circuit was known as the "Masters" which were famous in the mid to late 80s. The Masters comps were a chance to see your favorite factory sponsored riders, compete against them, and maybe even beat them while making a name for yourself... if you were good enough. It's also where you heard new music, saw the latest tricks invented, and could see the most current trends. This was arguably the most exciting time in flatland with over 200 riders competing in some expert classes. Back then there was no internet, very few videos available, and the magazines would take 2-3 months just to post photos and placings.... so attending the live competition was paramount for any fan that loved BMX flatland or was serious about competing. Over the years the sport of BMX flatland has evolved and along with it, contests have also progressed into something similar yet very different. Scott O'Brien brings an intensity and enthusiasm much like back in the day along with a more current contest experience.... with one major difference... by riders... for riders! Scott has traveled around the globe emceeing some of the biggest flatland contests and brought that knowledge to his own event. Securing the proper venue, acquiring the right judges, promoting the event, getting top name riders from all over the world to attend, putting together prize money, and getting people to show up and support it, among other things... go into making VooDoo Jam a success. While Scott is known as the emcee of VooDoo Jam, the reality is he does so much more to make the event happen. 3 time Nora Cup winner, owner of DECO BMX, and judge at this years VooDoo Jam Chad Degroot joined us on the show to get the lowdown from Scott O'Brien himself as we asked what made him want to put on the first ever VooDoo Jam back in 2004, what his inspiration for VooDoo Jam this year was, importance of Terry Adams and his impact on the event, what makes this event a success to him, how the judges get picked, who's the best competition flatland rider of all time, advice for anyone wanting to put on an event, where does VooDoo Jam go from here, and.... will there be another VooDoo Jam in the future? Or have we already seen the last one? So get comfortable, crank up your speakers, and get to know the man that puts on VooDoo Jam, Scott O'Brien.

Do you have a product that you sell online and wonder how you really take your product business to become a brand in a way that doesn’t make you a one-product wonder but allows you to be a business? Do you already have a digital product and would like to add an additional layer of income through adding products to the mix? My guest today on the Epic Success Podcast is Scott Voelker! He is the host of his incredible podcast The Amazing Seller. While Scott is amazing, *The Amazing Seller* is actually YOU. He helps people start, build and scale their online business with digital and physical products. In other words, he helps entrepreneurs take action. If you’re curious about what it takes to start selling products online, and perhaps even more importantly, how to pivot in business gracefully, you’ll want to listen up! Scott is sure to inspire and inform you. The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “Pivots happen because you grow, learn, and change...and then it’s the next season.” As entrepreneurs, we often think we can’t pivot because we’re tied to “consistency” at the expense of expansion and growth. Scott shares his incredible journey of pivots from construction to photography to e-commerce to helping entrepreneurs start and scale online businesses. [7:45] “You only need a small portion of the market to know, like, and trust you.” In any space, there will always be someone doing something differently.

Astronomers studied Barnard's Star, a red dwarf just six light years away -- practically in our back garden, galactically speaking -- and noticed the presence of a "frozen, dimly lit world" at least 3.2 times heavier than Earth. The planet, known for now as Barnard's Star b, is the second nearest to Earth outside the solar system and orbits its host star once every 233 days. "It's important because it's really our nextdoor neighbour and we like to meet our neighbours in general," Ignasi Ribas, from the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia and Spain's Institute of Space Sciences, told AFP. Despite being relatively close to its parent star, the planet receives less than two percent of the energy Earth gets from the Sun, and the team estimates it has a surface temperature of -170 degrees Celsius (-274 Farenheit) -- far too cold to support life as we know it. The gap between Rick Scott and Bill Nelson, in the election for the latter’s Senate seat, has only continued to narrow. The race was already within the 0.5 percent margin needed to trigger a recount on Wednesday, when Scott had roughly a 35,000-vote lead. That’s been cut in half to about 17,000 as ballots have continued to come in. While Scott is still the favorite to ultimately win, FiveThirtyEight has shifted the race from “likely Republican” to “lean Republican.” One reason for hope for Nelson is that a traditionally Democratic area, Broward County, has so far reported fewer votes for the Senate race compared with the gubernatorial race, according to data compiled by MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki. In other Florida counties, no such discrepancy exists. While some of the discrepancy could be due to genuine undervotes—for instance, the design of the ballot may have led some voters to miss it and not vote in that race—it’s possible that the county hasn’t correctly counted all the ballots. About 24,000 ballots in Broward County registered a vote in the governor’s race but not for the Senate race.

Two guys return this week with more randomness. While Scott is MIA while in secret spy training, Jon and Dustin take the reigns and do the show with out him. Really we can't remember what was said but we were all over the map.Without Scott keeping things in check the topics were many and I'm sure there were a ton of squirrel moments.

Does that resonate with you? Listen to this episode to hear the full story and more helpful insights from Scott! Expanding your business and using different ecommerce platforms. What is the best way to expand your ecommerce business beyond your Amazon product listing? Are you really ready to take that next step or are you just trying to do something different than Amazon? On this episode of The Amazing Seller, Scott shares his thoughts on using ecommerce platforms like Shopify to expand your brand reach. While Scott doesn’t come right out and say that this is a bad idea, he encourages sellers like you to focus on leveraging Amazon as much as possible before you decide to expand your business to other platforms.

While the easiest solution is to report it to Amazon, who will then remove the feedback if it has to do with the product, you might want to consider reaching out to the person who left it in the first place.

On a "very special" episode of Hollywood Uncorked, we get an unforgettable visit from hip-hop provocateur, Rude Jude Angelini. After finding fame as the in-house insult comic on the Jenny Jones show in the ‘90s, Rude Jude eventually caught the attention of Eminem, who hired him to host the “All Out Show” for his Sirius XM channel, Shade 45. While Scott, Tom and Ben spend the episode sampling 2015 Saint-Joseph, Rude Jude samples his own chemical of choice as he spins yarns from inside and outside his new book of essays, Hummingbird. They include his drug-laced dalliance with a married Instagram follower, how he overcame “performance problems” with a porn star at Hedonism, and the time he heard his first shout-out from Eminem as a bathroom attendant at a gay nightclub.

While Scott is on holiday, Andy sits down with co-director of theOklahoma chapter of the New Leaders Council (NLC), Ashten Hughes, as well as an NLC Fellow (and friend of the pod), Anna Facci. We also announce the dates of our Capitol Days for this spring! Support this podcast

Hey, friends! We hope you all had a fun Thanksgiving, which means only one thing: Christmas is right around the corner! While Scott and Josh hold off on their Coco discussion until next week, they're getting in the holiday mood appropriately! Because what better way to start off the Christmas season than with a movie adapted from a book with the word "Christmas" in the title, right? There's no way that movie...wouldn't have anything to do with Christmas, right? Well, it turns out that's the case, as Scott and Josh head back to the 1970s with Candleshoe, starring a young Jodie Foster, David Niven, and Helen Hayes. Though it's based on a book called Christmas at Candleshoe, this British-set scavenger hunt adventure has nothing to do with the holiday. But is it one of the rare Disney live-action films of the 1970s that isn't horrendous? Does this movie have a more tender heart than either Scott or Josh would have thought? Would kids from the 1970s ever have referenced Rudolph Valentino when they spoke? Find out now!

Which league is going to let athletes smoke weed first? And everyone decides to call out Lou the Dog for his picks this episode. While Scott and Mike drink Warlock from Southern Tier Brewing, they discuss Mia Khalifa swinging and missing again, Mike becoming a Toronto FC fan, Cincinnati breaking from baseball tradition, bad video game beats, Marshawn Lynch screwing over high school kids, and the Niners sending out the strangest survey ever. The fellas go on to discuss the World Series and former NBA commissioner David Stern’s recent comments about the NBA and marijuana. Then things get crazy. People have caught on to Lou the Dog and decide to call him out on his picks. With calls from JB, Papa B, Money Blake, and Drew calling from hallowed grounds, the episode hits it all.

Wow! We've made it to the end of our second year of the ten-year project, and we're celebrating with another best of episode. While Scott and Drew ended up agreeing completely on their number one film, they surprise each other throughout with their choices, and the results highlight just what a diverse and strange year of movies 1981 was. There's little doubt we'll be talking about Indiana Jones, but we'll also be talking about Albert Brooks, two werewolf movies, throwbacks to film noir and movie musicals, as well as commies and gamblers and time-traveling little people, oh my! Help us wrap up 1981 so we can finally kick off the year many of you have been waiting for, as '80S ALL OVER continues!

Cover Art by Vance Kelly Part of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre films! Continuing the Alien-centric themes of the last few episodes, this month’s Commentary is James Cameron’s masterpiece, Aliens!   After seeing Ridley Scott’s Alien in glorious RPX, there was no way the Needless Commentary team could do anything but watch the incredible – and vastly different – 1986 sequel. While Scott’s film delivered unparalleled atmosphere and suspense, Cameron’s follow-up used tight action, military-industrial intrigue, and blazing bombast. Utilizing a cast that would become very well known to fans of 80s action, Cameron went in an entirely different direction and created a different kind of blockbuster. Listen in as Phantom Troublemaker, Rad Ranger, Arian, and Ryan Cadaver gather in the Phantom Zone to offer up their thoughts on this 1986 tour de force!   Be sure to join the Needless Things Podcast Facebook Group and get in on the conversation for this week’s episode!

Today on Cause Talk Radio, Megan and Joe talk to a true cause marketing superstar: Scott Beaudoin. Scott is a veteran of many top cause campaigns and agencies and was recently named the chief strategy officer and executive managing director of corporate and brand purpose at RF|Binder, a full-service public relations agency in New York City. On today’s show, Megan, Scott and Joe discuss: How Scott got his cause marketing start with Carol Cone, but his roots were in TV reporting. While Scott has worked at some larger agencies - like MSLGROUP, the fourth largest PR conglomerate in the world - his new position is with a smaller agency that prizes the central role purpose plays for every organization. The business case for working with agencies focused on social good. While many agencies have touched some part of cause marketing, only a few know how to work at the c-suite and use purpose to drive business innovation. How slow growth at most agencies is squeezing talent and resources and hampering social good strategy. How Millennials are leading the purpose revolution. Is “Cause Marketing” the right term for what purpose professionals do? Does it need to be retired? Scott’s advice for nonprofits who want to build win-win partnerships. The right mindset is critical!

Welcome back to the Ask Scott sessions of the Amazing Seller podcast. These Friday sessions are one of the funnest things Scott does every week - answering your questions from his own experience - about Amazon Private Label sales. This episode includes questions about handling returns through Amazon FBA, product categories as it relates to seller accounts, product selection tips, and customizable product offers. This episode is going to ramp up your ability to make your private label business rock!   What happens when a customer returns one of my products?   One of the aspects of Amazon private label sales that is seldom talked about in depth is the issue of product returns. It’s going to happen. You are going to have products returned either because they are broken in shipping or have some sort of flaw. What happens at Amazon when somebody returns one of your products and what can you do from there? Scott’s going to walk you through every step of the process so you know what to do, on this episode.   Should I keep all my products in the same categories?   A listener has noticed that some Amazon sellers have their products listed in a variety of categories. She’s wondering if there’s any advantage to this, or if it’s a waste of time. Scott’s got a definite opinion about this and it all centers around the use of keywords and how they impact what a searching customer is going to find when they are looking for a product. There is some powerful food for thought in Scott’s response to this question, so be sure you take some time to give it the thought it deserves.   Is there any way to make a customizable offer to an Amazon seller?   Wouldn’t it be great if you could offer your products in a customizable format of some kinds? A listener today asks if there is a way to make a custom offer to particular Amazon customers. While Scott’s not sure exactly what will come of it, he chats a bit about a new Amazon program that’s still in beta mode, called Amazon Custom. You can find a link to the program in the resources for this episode, and hear what Scott has to say about it by listening.   Have you attended the FREE Private Label  Workshop?   One of the things Scott does most months to help you understand, start, and ramp up your private label business is a free online workshop where he walks you through the 5 phases of getting your product live and selling on Amazon. Much of the TAS community attends these workshops again and again because there’s so much helpful content - AND there’s Q&A at the very end where you can ask your specific questions. If you’d like to get in on the next workshops, check out this episode to find out exactly how you can do it!

Do you have questions about selling on Amazon?   If you do, you’ve come across the best resource to teach you how to be an Amazon FBA seller in a profitable way that can get you out of the 9 to 5 rat race and into your own business that is legitimate and lasting. This episode is #19 of Scott’s Friday Q&A sessions where he answers your questions so that you can learn how to sell on Amazon profitably. If you’d like to have your own questions answered, you can ask them at http://www.TheAmazingSeller.com/ask   Should you set up your Amazon Seller account without LLC or incorporation paperwork?   That was one of the questions asked on this episode of The Amazing Seller. While Scott is not an attorney or tax accountant (and suggests you contact one with your questions before you get rolling), he does have an opinion about the question. His view is that you should approach your Amazon sales as a business, and set it up that way from the start. You want the protection and security of the legal entity that LLC or incorporation can provide you. You also want to make sure you’re keeping your taxes separate from your personal income. Again, check with a tax accountant or lawyer for the full picture, and listen in to this episode to hear the other questions and Scott’s answers.   How can you estimate your product costs and profits accurately?   It’s a very important question because you need to stay on top of your costs so that you know that what you’re doing is truly profitable and not just wishful thinking. Costs include everything from the actual price you pay for your products, to shipping, to customs fees, to Amazon seller fees. How do you keep it all straight? That’s the question one listener asked in this episode and Scott gives his best answer, including some resources you can use to help you estimate things so that you’re not caught off guard. That’s on this episode of The Amazing Seller. Is Bundling products together worth it?   It all comes down to cost. Every step you take with your products, from shipping to packaging to branding, is going to add to the cost of your products. There are companies that can receive your products and package them together as you like, but again, it’s an increased cost to you. You can also package those products together yourself, but it will take time and you’ll need specialized packaging with your branding and logos on it. Either way, the cost is more by bundling products. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Bundling can be a powerful way to expand your brand image on Amazon and provide more value to your customers. Listen to this episode to find out how Scott would approach bundling.   Are you eager to learn how to be a Private Label Amazon seller and want it in an all-in-one package?   If so, you need to get into Scott’s Private Label Classroom. It’s a resource packed with step by step videos, downloadable worksheets, and nuts and bolts descriptions and explanations of how the Amazon sales process works, how you should go about researching and buying products for sale on Amazon, and how you can set those products apart with your own private label and get your business rolling. You’ll go beyond that to learn how to drive traffic to your products and solicit reviews from your customers so that your products can go even higher in the Amazon search rankings.

QUESTION 1: How do you go about calculating costs and profits? I don’t want to miss anything. QUESTION 2: Should I set up business checking accounts and LLC documents before I set up my Amazon seller account or can I just get going and change it later? QUESTION 3: I’m considering bundling some products to set myself apart. Is this a good idea? How should I go about it?
