B Minus Show

Hi everyone. I realize this is a re hash of a prior podcast I did before. However I added VIDEO to this one instead of just pictures.

Mostly, I am excited to play with and publish stuff from my FINAL CUT AND COMPRESSOR apps/software I recently purchased.

So bear with me as I go through ANOTHER learning curve.

I have a podcast coming soon about the AUTO INSURANCE coverages on your policy. I worked in insurance for over 6 years and will keep you posted on that segment.

Enjoy the podcast!

Howdy folks! In this episode I dive into the two apps that can come in handy for anybody who cares about what goes down in their neighborhood.

Im not a confrontational type, especially if I can put my family at risk with the crazies, so I have found a non confrontational way to deal with neighborhood issues…using my nextdoor and 311 apps.

They aren’t just for snitches, you can get some great information about your immediate surrounding area; the good, the bad, the ugly.

I am now formally multi media! I have a video podcast to supplement my audio only podcast. If you prefer to watch my face for minutes on end, then check out the B Minus Show on youtube!

Good luck on your quest to protect your hood and know what the deal is in your town.

My first batch of making plumb wine

So I moved into my home in spring of 2015.

I had a wild jungle growing in my backyard. After a couple months of pruning and hard labor, my backyard started looking clean(er).

It took me 2 damn years though.

Anyways, to my delight, I discovered a plumb tree that produced tons of fruit.

With the excess multiple grocery bags of plumbs that I couldn’t get rid of, I decided to take a crack at making a plumb wine.

Maybe if you are into making some wine with your own fruit, this podcast will be a good listen.

I gotta be honest, I really didn’t delve super deep into research before tackling this task.

I was able to produce something from my own fruit tree that yielded a few cases of wine measuring around 14.5% alcohol; which is about right for a dark wine.

I basically crushed the shit out of the plumbs. It wasn’t a therapeutic process. It was damn laborious.

I was in the kitchen with a potato smasher, a big pot and a screen in the pot.

I crushed the shit out of the plumbs, leaving behind the skins and seeds.

The plumbs took some remorse on me by squirting me a few times before their final death blow.

I persisted, bag after bag. My arm was sore, but I kept going.

I ended up with a crap load of thick plumb juice with hella pulp.

I then placed the juice in a carboy, added some chemicals and yeast. I set it and forgot about it.

I did run into some issues with understanding what chemicals did what.

However in the end, I bottled a good amount of finished wine.

I also have a carboy full of old wine from that batch. I has been aging…but I’m not sure if it’s good or nasty by now.

Overall, I learned that I would rather make beer. The process is similar to making beer, but different also.

It is a pretty laborious process as I mentioned; I have no more desire to crush multiple pounds of plumbs.

The coolest thing I liked about it was simply trying something new. I got decent results from my first attempt. If I ever decide to try it again, maybe I will do better. IF.

Just a little tidbit on some projects I have taken on and did not do so well on…including a garden and such.

 

BUT! I have not given up hope on planting a successful garden. And making beer has taught me a little more on gardening believe or not.

Dont give up the faith.

Hey there! In this podcast, I discuss what my idea of starting a brewery is. I think that you can start your brewery or business based on some of the principles I discuss here (scroll to the bottom to listen for free!)

There are many ways about starting a successful business.

First, you need a plan. I encourage you to deliver a great product you are PASSIONATE about.

Although I do know some entrepreneurs who are great at finding a niche that has NOTHING to do with their passions.

However, I prefer to stick with what I love to do. I have loved making and appreciating beer for the past few years.

In addition, I love making and playing music and golfing.

I have not given up on my dream to make a living making music. In regards to golf…well I will keep that more as a hobby for now.

In any event, if you have a sound business plan, solid product and passion for your product or service, I think you will see your business manifest and increase your chances for success dramatically.

Good luck and I hope to hear from you soon either in person or via email @ [email protected]

I have a love hate with the website “facebook.” It allows me to connect with people; especially ongoing or older relationships.

I can also advertise my band shows, podcasts, and my life with this social media tool.

HOWEVER, I have consumed too much of my time and life on the damn app for my phone and have since deleted it.

I now only go to facebook from my web browser now. It saves me like an hour day. AN HOUR.

Listen to this podcast and let me know your thoughts. AND SHARE THIS ON FACEBOOK HAHAHAHA

 

The past few days and months have sucked with all the rain and me getting the flu. So I improvised this podcast and hope you can empathize with me a bit here.

It’s basically a random 30ish minute rant about myself, but maybe you can relate!

(I blame it on the rain)

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Just some random rants and thoughts on the beer industry. I actually don’t remember too much on what I said here, except it’s about beer. And I really don’t like listening to my own podcasts unless they have a guest on them. hah.

 

Here is a cool book I am thumbing through about different beer styles and some history on beer:

yo!

In this podcast I talk about what I have been doing almost DAILY to improve upon my life’s passions and hobbies in addition to handling adult life like a boss (or a good employee at times)

Yes, you can take a day or two off here and there. But do stuff more than less on a consistent level to inch towards your goals.

Here is a great book that kinds of sums up the whole theory and one of my sources of inspiration:

Have you ever wanted to start a band or are just curious on how people do it?

 

Well I am in a band, and have been for a while. Im way past my youth and “cool” days of being a band dude, but I am persisting.

I am going to teach you a few things to look out for if you or someone you know decides to follow your dream of becoming a local rockstar celebrity.

 

Good luck on your rockstar dreams.
