In this episode, I discuss the new Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan that was created as part of the CARES Act (Stimulus) to provide emergency relief to business owners during the coronavirus pandemic.
Qualifying businesses are able to borrow up to 2.5x their average monthly payroll and 100% of the loan will be forgiven if the funds are properly applied.

I'm going to be using the Products of the Mind podcast feed to provide information to business owners during the coronavirus - COVID-19 crisis. This is an introductory episode in which I explain the project and cover a few topics briefly. I speak in a bit more depth about the unemployment provisions of the CARES Act, also called the stimulus, which passed on Friday, March 27, 2020. Unemployment benefits now apply to certain self-employed people, which may provide some relief to small and solo business owners who were previously ineligible for unemployment.

Welcome to Episode 52 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with Allan McKay, founder of Catastrophic FX. Allan has done visual effects for loads of blockbuster movies, including Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Star Trek Into Darkness, 2012, Superman Returns, and Looper (a personal favorite of mine.) We talk about how a visual effect goes from conception to the final product that you see on screen, how the creative process works, and why visual effects production is moving all over the world. The latter topic is addressed in this recent New York Times article (which I reference in the interview) – there’s a race to the bottom which is costing lots of VFX artists their jobs, so we spend quite a bit of time talking this through.

Welcome to Episode 49 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with Lori Steele Contorer, Founder-CEO of Everyone Counts, an electronic voting company.
Lori went from knowing nothing about the voting process to founding a company dedicated to making voting easier, more secure, and more transparent. How does paper voting actually work, and what are the downsides of the traditional methods? How did Lori learn everything she needed to know to start this business? How do you convince risk-averse bureaucrats to sign on with your electronic voting startup?
Most of us just go to the polls and don’t give much though to what happens after you turn in your ballot and get your sticker. In this episode, we learn all the secrets of the voting process.
Find out more about Lori Steele Contorer and Everyone Counts at EveryoneCounts.com.

Welcome to Episode 48 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with cartoonist, lawyer, and advocate Stu Rees.
“Everyone knows in their heart of hearts that they shouldn’t, but they use the words ‘fair use’ as a defense in their own mind.”
This episode further explores copyright law and fair use issues with lawyer and cartoonist Stu Rees.
As a practicing lawyer and professional cartoonist, Stu has much to say on the issue of copyright law, fair use, and artists’ rights. Stu began his legal career investigating the contracts between newspaper cartoonists and major print syndicates, and his passion for protecting up-and-coming artists’ rights is stronger than ever.
We talk about copyright law and fair use as it applies to cartoonists and artists in general. We even do a little bit of “fair use roleplay” while we discuss the use of online images. Like previous entrepreneurial guests, Stu basically created his own path by “filling a void” that was needed in the marketplace, so he’ll fill us in on that journey as well.
We also talk about: length of copyright; public domain; Disney’s copyright protection of Mickey Mouse; copyright law and digital media; and whether or not copyright protects the needs of up-and-coming artists.

Welcome to Episode 47 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with singer-songwriter Anya Marina.
We’ll hear how writing songs in middle school ultimately led to hosting radio shows and hearing her songs on hit shows like Grey’s Anatomy. Anya fills us in on singing for different bands, smoking cloves outside the coffee shop, and a little bit about the attempt to write a memoir. Although the memoir may not have worked out, the music career did.
Anya is very open about the ups and downs of her life and the practical realities of surviving as a well-known but non-superstar artist. How does she go from project to project, and what’s next for this talented musician?
Bonus: stick around for the end to enjoy a song from Anya’s latest album, Paper Plane: “Ordinary Dude.”
This and so much more with Anya Marina.
