Father Son Talk-Media Relevance-Connecting To America-Podcast 681

As far back as I can remember, my son and I have had great conversations. These days those talks are usually over the phone. When he visits, it’s time to put those talks on a podcast. Father Son Talk-Media Relevance-Connecting To America-Podcast 681 is the result.

Welcome To New York

A recent move to New York City and a new job in media forms the backdrop of a conversation recently that is Father Son Talk-Media Relevance-Connecting To America-Podcast 681.

What’s A Media Family Like?

Especially relevant is the fact that both Andrew Davis’ mother and father have worked in media most of their lives. It’s a tough and sometimes thankless business, although fun. We did not necessarily want our son to work in the business. Our friends remarked to us, “What did you think he was going to do?”

Starting A Media Career

We welcome Andrew Davis into the ranks as the purveyor of his own You Tube effort and most recently a production assistant for a documentary unit in New York. We’re a media family, so media has always been topic number one at the table. What are the views of a young adult getting into the media? How do major news outlets connect with so called middle America?

How Does ‘The Bubble’ Reach ‘Trump’s America’?

With most news coverage these days focused on the latest accusations of sexual harassment in the political and media workspace, it seems like we’re hearing less and less about important issues facing the country. In conclusion, why isn’t the media covering and talking about North Korea, the Economy. and technology issues? Has the so called mainstream media (New York and LA) lost towns, cities and states ‘beyond the pale’? Where did it go wrong?

Put Down That Smart Phone And Get In The Combine

We don’t always agree on the conclusions though. In Father Son Talk-Media Relevance-Connecting To America-Podcast 681 there’s a fair amount of ribbing and catcalls across the generational divide. Finally all those discussions at the dinner table and on phones as we traversed the world are coming in handy.

Super Stretch Yoga For Kids-Kickstarter-Jessica Rosenberg-Podcast 680

Anyone who has practiced Yoga for a while knows the benefits of a daily practice. Most of us wish we could have started sooner than we did. Fact is, the promises of yoga aren’t just for adults. A longtime yogi and teacher has developed an application to teach a mindfulness practice to kids. Find out what it is and how you can support it in SuperStretch Yoga For Kids-Kickstarter-Jessica Rosenberg-Podcast 680.

How To Teach Yoga To Kids

Funding A Yoga Business

These days funding and growing any kind of business can be a challenge. Yoga businesses can be even more challenging to fund. Jessica and I talk about the value of including KickStarter in funding a yoga business in Super Stretch Yoga For Kids-Kickstarter-Jessica Rosenberg-Podcast 680.

Especially relevant in this conversation is the question of whether Yoga businesses need their own financial infrastructure. Sometimes getting funding for Yoga businesses requires a broadminded investor, or someone who is passionate about Yoga. This can be an impediment to getting financing.

The Promises of Yoga

Moreover the idea of teaching yoga to kids is not without controversy. Jessica talks about the practice of Yoga as an enhancement of the individual. Is it complimentary to the student’s culture or religion? Talking to an experienced teacher always opens my eyes to the physical, mental and spiritual reactions these postures produce, as well as their benefits.

The Path

In conclusion this is also a great conversation about what living the life of a yogi is about. Teachers and students on this path know it requires the commitment of a warrior. This is especially true for Yoga Entrepreneurs. Jessica has a great deal of in depth knowledge about the practice and business of yoga, proving her warrior spirit. Thanks again to her, and to SuperStretch for taking the time.

Thanksgiving Thought Starters-Fight Starters-Fight Enders-Podcast 679

Thanksgiving dinner is supposed to be a fun family get together. At times this fall celebration of the harvest can erupt into ugly political and social disputes. Time for some ideas to flip the script in Thanksgiving Thought Starters-Fight Starters-Fight Enders-Podcast 679.

Welcome To The Rollercoaster

Especially relevant is the fact that the holiday season from Thanksgiving to Christmas, can be an emotional rollercoaster for almost all families. Whether you’re hosting the dinner or heading out to a relative’s house it’s a good idea to be prepared.

Freedom of Choice

In Thanksgiving Thought Starters-Fight Starters-Fight Enders-Podcast 679 I share some personal thanksgiving and family experiences to get you thinking. Most important is to remember we all have the freedom of choice about what we think about social or political issues. If you want to hear an example of my own personal thanksgiving experience a few years ago, click here.

What He Said!

When it comes to politics these days, you can bet there will be discussion at the Thanksgiving table about much of the reactive coverage about politics. Add alcohol to the mix, and you will have to decide whether to engage or not, depending on your situation. Of course, give yourself permission to keep your mouth shut, or leave right after dinner, if necessary.

SeaChangeTone

Should you make the decision to engage your crazy uncle on a political level Thanksgiving Thought Starters-Fight Starters-Fight Enders-Podcast 679 gives you ideas on how change the tone of the conversation.

In conclusion when it comes to politics and social issues we could all do with a change in tone. Do we want to be leaders or followers? Rather than fighting about what someone else says on a TV Show why not talk about what we are for? What kind of a world do we think is coming? Where does our energy and advocacy belong.

The Old World Is Passing

Moreover we are seeing fewer positive interactions with the age old institutions of our society like government and religion. What kind of world is coming and what is our role in it? Throw that out over the mashed potatoes and see what happens. Or not.
