Hey there and welcome back to a very exciting episode of EGGS! Today's special guest is world-renowned turntablist and DJ, Q-Bert.

Q-Bert, not to be confused with the jumpy orange fellow, is widely acknowledged as one of the most innovative turntablists in the world. The San Francisco-born DJ has pioneered several highly complex scratching techniques (including the infamous crab scratch), with a heavy emphasis on rapid, percussive movements as well as conceptual usage of spoken word samples. In addition to proper albums and mixtapes, he's released countless DJ battle tool records and instructional videos, as well as launching an online DJ school.

Q-Bert is without a doubt an innovator and OG in the space, and to be honest, there are simply too many accolades to list them all here, so let's just get on with it, shall we? Please join us in welcoming to the show, the incredible, the talented, Q-Bert.

Hey there and welcome back to Eggs. Today's guest is Ammonia and Alternative energy expert Greg Vezina.

This episode is a unique one for us in that it is a match that was totally inspired by the Eggs community. In recent months we have featured other alternative Energy Experts on the podcast including Andrew Murphey and Dr. Amit Roy to name a couple. Due to an outsized and unexpected reaction to those particular episodes by our community we've received a number of emails with more questions about the future of energy.

One such email came from listener Karim who sent this message, in part:

"Dear Eggs, My name is Karim and I have a question: What do you think of ammonia cars? Because there's a Youtube video about a 1981 Chevrolet Impala that had its V8 engine converted to run on ammonia, which is a mix of hydrogen with a little nitrogen, which makes the exhaust pipe cleaner and it's far cheaper than gasoline?"

The video he's referring to, as he continued in his note, was created in 2006 by CBC News in Canada and was later run internationally on CNN, featuring today's guest showcasing his then cutting edge technology. Indulge us for a second while we run the tape...

As you can see, even then, today's guest lived on the vanguard of Ammonia technology and the future of energy and is still a prominent leader in the space.

Thank you Karim for your note, and thanks to the community for making this connection happen. Joining us today for a lively discussion about Ammonia, hydrogen, and our world's energy future, please join us in welcoming to the show, Greg Vezina.

Hey there and welcome back to Eggs! This week we have special guest, founder, and CEO of Mindful Money, Jonathan DeYoe. Jonathan has an interesting story to tell. Emerging from Rapid City, South Dakota, and being raised in a family that was less than financially secure, he developed an interest in financial education early, making his first stock trades at 9 years old with the money he’d made mowing yards and doing odd jobs.

After leaving college he worked for several years in large San Francisco-based Wall Street financial firms like Morgan Stanley and PaineWebber, but after what could only be described as a negative experience in many of these firms Jonathan decided to make a change and go solo. He launched his firm in 2001 with a focus on independent financial advice and an unparalleled client experience service.

Joining us today to discuss getting started with financial planning, please join us in welcoming to the show our guest Jonathan DeYoe.
