InkleDeux Podcast

We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Tanya from Mamma Toledo's The Pie Hole. She shared her deeper experiences and how overcoming those shaped her as a business owner. In the podcast we discuss how she came to start her business, how she stays in love with baking after so many years, and what it's like hiring family members (a lesson we listened to intently). I must say we did buy pie after speaking with her. We recommend that all of you go buy pie.

Marvel released trailers for Avengers: Endgame and a new Ms. Marvel, so we had to discuss.

Brandon discusses his experience in the Creating You Story Challenge and how telling stories each day helps slow time down and start some good conversations.

The main topic today is around goal setting. We are coming up on 2019 and InkleDeux is working on setting the years goals. Mixed into the company goals are AJ's and Brandon's personal goals.

Today's podcast is another skype session. We are working through the audio to try and get it sounding better each time. The conversation starts off with a couple of decent beers (AJ: Shiner Bock; B: Deschutes Black Butte Porter) and we jump into it.

Marvel released trailers for Avengers: Endgame and a new Ms. Marvel, so we had to discuss. These are both movies that we are looking forward to. Along side this, we discuss the social reaction to these gigantic summer movies and the impact it has on other movies.

Brandon discusses his experience in the Creating You Story Challenge and how telling stories each day helps slow time down and will hopefully start some good conversations.

The main topic today is around goal setting. We are coming up on 2019 and InkleDeux is working on setting the years goals. Mixed into the company goals are AJ's and Brandon's personal goals, which quite possibly could be the only time that B has made someone blush. (For those of you familiar with the 2 of us, you will know that Brandon has a very low threshold for embarrassment. It's weird for the tables to be turned here.) Keep an eye out for the blog post where we will post our 2019 goals so you all can hold us accountable to our commitments. 

Additionally, we will be reviewing the podcast and developing it further. If you have any thoughts or feedback, please share so we can incorporate it into our 2019 plan.

Lastly, please share this on Facebook and Twitter. We want to get as many people as possible joining the conversation.

This week's Highlight is an old friend of Brandon's. They go way back. Aaron's journey is similar to Siddhartha (except for the whole becoming Buddha thing). He starts in a higher place, financially and spiritually, then sheds it all because it wasn't adding up for him. He then went on a journey to discover what did answer his questions. He shares with us the lessons he learned as he rediscovered himself. Aaron is now sharing his life motto of "BeLove" with his clients as a real estate agent.

I know this post is a little late to the game. We recorded when it was much more on everyone's mind. This isn't "political" like picking between CNN and Fox News. We discuss politics in general and some of the outcomes. AJ discusses voting from a religious disposition. Brandon shares his sense of fatalism and his fear that Arizona will become California, but AJ talks him off that ledge and manages to be the voice of reason.

I know this post is a little late to the game. We recorded when it was much more on everyone's mind. Now that everyone wants to be done thinking about it, here we are, asking you to listen to more. I don't feel bad about it though. This isn't "political" like picking between CNN and Fox News. We discuss politics in general and some of the outcomes. AJ discusses voting from a religious disposition. Brandon shares his sense of fatalism and his fear that Arizona will become California, but AJ talks him off that ledge and manages to be the voice of reason.

This episode feels kind of obligatory. You all need to get to know us and even though everyone tells you not to talk religion or politics around new people, this is the best way to get to know them. I want to let you know that we are not going to be a political podcast. Our focus is having great conversations over delicious beverages. Sometimes the best conversation at the time reaches into politics (I mean, what doesn't these days), and we won't shy away from it, but it isn't our focus.

I apologize for the lack of craft beverage. We will have to figure out how to work that back in for our Skype episodes.

If you have any thoughts on the podcast or have a favorite episode, please let us know. We are going to be brainstorming the direction we take the podcast for 2019 over the next month and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Eric is the host of Tap That AZ Podcast. I found his podcast a while ago when I was looking to learn about beer. What I found was a so much more. The stories these brewers have is remarkable. Eric allows the Brewer to tell their story their way. His genuine approach has resulted in an excellent network of people. I have been to multiple breweries who know him by name (not that I've name dropped or anything...more than...twice). It's no wonder he became the adopted son of the craft beer community.

AJ leads this conversation off with a rant on how early Christmas is starting. The talk turns to a plea to stop the hustle and bustle of the commercialized version of Christmas we currently celebrate and move towards a time of internal preparation and introspection. We should be focusing on Christ joining mankind as well as family and other important relationships.
