Are phones that bad? Should we still talk to each other face to face? Is it worth holding the line for health? Yes.

The Stoic, the Psychologist, and the Warrior; three views on raising strong children. I was thinking about three people who I read and listen to, and I noticed a through line in all of their thoughts on parenting and life, and as a better person you can be a better parent. A common thread over and over again. Responsibility isn't punishment, it's a path to peace. As a real life human parent, this mission is not clear or easy, but its an aim. Be Healthy Yall

Chief Master Sergeant Daniel L. Hoglund served in the United States Air Force for 30 years, beginning his career in 1994 as a Tactical Ground Radio Operator and advancing to key leadership positions, including Command Chief Master Sergeant for the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw Air Force Base and Commandant of the Air Force Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy, with extensive experience in tactical operations, multiple combat deployments across operations such as Iraqi Freedom and Inherent Resolve, and qualifications as a master-rated enlisted aircrew member on aircraft like the EC-130H and MC-12W. As a retired veteran residing in Nueva Gorgona, Panama, he plays an important role in the local community by engaging with fellow expats and veterans, drawing on his background in morale, welfare, and professional development to support community initiatives and foster interpersonal connections in this coastal expat enclave. Dan is a great friend due to his demonstrated commitment to good order, discipline, and genuine care for others, qualities honed through decades of military service that make him a reliable and supportive presence in personal relationships. He's a killer padel player and a very fit 50 year old football and futbol loving hombre. (My mic was acting funky so I sound far away, Logitech G Hub is not cool, will fix on next one.)

Episode 132, Dichotomy of Leadership Today we read through a small portion of the lessons learned from this book and the optional workbook it can be paired with. We recapped a bit of our activities since being on hiatus for awhile. ;-) Always good to sit and speak with this growing kid, who I'm happy to share what I'm currently learning and share what I can. Thanks to @grok.ai2 for the fun images and video (from a photo in the book) And thank you to @jockowillink @echelonfront @leifbabin for the many lessons and ongoing leadership mentorship via their many channels. We made it fun but the lessons are well written and appreciated. Take care and be healthy y'all

Whoa... Lots of info, saddle up. This is a follow up to Ep 79, and I go through the updates to the Ripple vs SEC court case that was started back in Dec 2020.  Its inception actually started back in 2016, and facts have been brought to light.  It is still ongoing, and I find it very interesting and it has taught me a massive amount about banking, digital assets, and what's happening in the world and how money and how we use it and move value is changing faster than we realize. Some links spoken about are: Ethereum Free Pass Speech John Deaton CryptoLawUS Abdul Ismail BOOKS Fiat Leak

We're back and bouncing around some different subjects, as usual going through my random notes I collect through the weeks in between each episode.  Today we talked about editing on phones and tablets, an unexpected rowing champion, and manufacturing in America.

WHOA...another year gone. Another year of learning how to adjust to changes. Adaptation is a word that comes to mind, and for 2023, PREPARATION is main target.  I hope everyone had a great break, enjoyed your much deserved rest and relaxation. Time to return, and begin again. This episode, and all from now on, have improved audio with some professional help, and I'm working to improve even further as I'm just beginning to learn the new tools. Mainly, you should enjoy less clicking, mouth smacks, more consistent sound etc. Thank you Kyle!  Be Healthy Yall

Back again, and much to cover.  We go over status of gokarting and the many details that encapsulate getting up to speed on them, as well as the evolution from an idea to where we are currently.  The focus and attention needed to compete I think helps with giving a big confidence boost needed during the transitional years of middle school too.  We chop it up and improv some which keeps this talk light and funny too, why not riff when we feel it?

This will be beginning of a few podcasts where I read from my grandfather's letters of stories of himself, his grandparents, parents, and his grandparents. My Berendzen side of the family apparently have all on some level left traces of history from each generation for the next to read and connect with those that came before them. I look forward to hearing the kids' responses when I go through some together with them.  Be Healthy Yall Remember the body's state dictates our ventures in this life, do what you can with what you have.

Ice Day, no school. Trees covered in frozen ice causing huge branches and whole trees to collapse under their weight. We were very lucky to only lose internet, maintaining power, heat, water, gas, and our trees collapsed in the yard not on our house. Whoa. VERY fortunate.  Take care and be Healthy Yall.

An amazing and thoughtful conversation with Diego's previous 4th and 5th grade guide, Eduardo "Lalo" Martinez. I was honored to have him be a guide for Diego and also someone who is very encouraging of Sofia's baking which has given her much ownership of her own interests and skills.  Lalo is such an interesting and introspective person, and brings a seemingly bottomless well of knowledge and experience into any space he enters. I look forward to more conversations with him on different subject specifics in time. He has been involved in Montessori for almost 10 years and his passion for teaching only grows over time.  A father, Montessori guide, artist, actor, salsero, snowboarder, skateboarder, biker, hiker, reader, writer, healing arts trained and more.  Enjoy and as always, Be Healthy Yall To learn more about Headwaters go HERE

Joined by a baking enthusiast, all around hard worker and dog loving super woman, Victoria Padron today! This was officially Sofia's first podcast with a guest just for her, and I was so happy that the joyful and warm company with Victoria kept her chatting us up even to the point I had to cut her off (believe it or not haha) We cover a lot subjects ranging from baking, to moving cities, learning through hard lessons and mistakes, astrophysics, animal science, planetary musings, questioning the origin of the universe, favorite colors, and as always with Sofia, some jokes naturally. BORING!! HAHA. Thank you Victoria for sharing your day with us and look forward to seeing her soon. Take care and Be Healthy Yall BBP Instagram

The most humble and interesting data analyst, Tomi Keah, spent his valuable Sunday afternoon with Diego and I, and schooled us on many various topics he excels and works on. Many great lessons he shared with us, and many which can be applied right away. With a very unique and introspective way to analyze the world, he has a special skillset to bring many aspects of data in its various forms together like a story. Thank you Tomi!  Be Healthy Yall BBP INSTAGRAM

WHO would have thought we'd make it all the way to now be thinking about careers and life after leaving the nest already? Crazy for me, exciting for Diego. Forward thinking will get anyone ahead, and I'm proud he isn't waiting around. We discuss some details about working in the trades, college, and funding a racing hobby as an adult. Then we skim over Secure Hashgraph Algorithm 256 created in the 1990s, a paper in 1995, and a patent on it in 2001. SHA-256 is the backbone of the BTC network. It was a first. A new dawn is coming, and I've watched it like watching paint dry underwater. Take care and Be Healthy Yala

Today we go over the lyrics from the song "That is not a Wizard" by Aesop Rock. We somehow lost Diego's mic at the end, but he had some great insight from the lyrics. The song addresses the world in 2021 from the eye's of an American hip-hop artist in New York, but as always, he delivers prime, obtuse breakdowns of the strangeness we all encountered.
