Marc’s Adventures in San Antonio

This is a three part episode covering my first ever trip to San Antonio, Texas.  I really enjoyed the trip and my varied experiences there.

Part 1 A trip to Paris Hatters 

It was great meeting Alexandra Sledge and her dad Abe Cortez.  In the end, I wound up with a Stetson Open Road model hat as a gift from Marcus Arky who joined me in the conversation with Alex and Abe.  My hat

My main reason for a trip to San Antonio was to present at the World Petrochemical Conference.

Part 2 – Presentation on using Mississippi River for shipping containers on barge

World Petrochemical Conference hosted by IHS Markit

IDEAL X – World’s First Container Ship:

Cost of building railroad track

One of the best parts of the trip was visiting the old Pearl Brewery which has been transformed into a mixed use project of restaurants, shops, a hotel and housing.  We had a great meal at Cured and had a wide ranging conversation about the role of the Chief Hospitality Officer and how to build relationships with your customers.

Part 3 – A conversation with Marcus Arky of Metro Group Maritime and Jim Arnold of Red Sky Advisors over lunch at Cured in the Pearl District

Go Find the Helpers Movie (48:45) I couldn’t find such a movie but I believe Kisha may have been referring to the documentary about Fred Rogers as that quote about looking for the helpers is attributed to him.  The documentary is actually Won’t You Be My Neighbor.  See here for more:  http://www.focusfeatures.com/wont-you-be-my-neighbor/

Turmeric (57:45) – this is the other supplement that Kisha takes (this one in pill form) She recommends taking it with several whole peppercorns rather than buying it with pepper already in the capsule as she thinks buying a premium for the pepper is silly!  https://amzn.to/2Ipe4B5
