We get off track a lot, but it's always fun. We talk about baking television, tools every baker should have, and what we can learn from The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.

We get excited about sweet potato pie, delve into pursuing non-traditional careers, and talk about what we can learn from the life of Russell Simmons.

We hear a pretty crazy story about a baker, and talk about the ins and outs of public shaming in our society with the help of Jon Ronson's So You've Been Publicly Shamed

We get into the annoying parts of baking (math), list yummy treats, and dive deep into Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold, as well as The Gospel According to Jesus by Stephen Mitchell

We talk about gluten free baking and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

We talk about Christmas, cookies, and the book Write It Down, Make It Happen by Henriette Anne Klauser

Guest Brent Flyberg helps kick off the podcast with a practice run.

I recount an early baking fiasco, and try to hook you into my new podcast.
