01:01Episode 72: Rob Nicholson
Today, on the Keg, we had the pleasure of interviewing Rob Nicholson, founder of The Nicholson Center, in Ohio. Rob is an old friend of the crew and we’ve been wanting to have him on the show for a long time. Rob is the kind of guy who can get stuff done. He started out building business when he was a college student. These days Rob is involved with Idea Pitch, in Columbus, Ohio where they recently had a

Episode 59: Keep it Simple
t’s the day before Thanksgiving, crazy travel and food shopping day. So we kept it simple and did a remote show over Skype, like we used to do way back in the early days of the Powder Keg of Awesome. And our very topic: keeping it simple.
As we’ve mentioned on the show before, people unnecessarily complicate things. We think that if something is too simple, then it’s too obvious and therefore lacking in value.
Jerry brought up Occam’s Razor (way too early in the morning for that).
My advice: “you gotta get out there and do some work”.

Episode 71: Wine Wednesday with Christine Trice
On PKA we are all about being around people who make stuff go. Coincidentally, we’re located in Northern California, near the heart of the commercial wine industry. We have access to all kinds of great wineries and winemakers.
So about once every month, Christine will be bringing us wines and we will be talking about the wines, the people who make them, and even have interviews with local winemakers. Of course, we will hold fast to our PKA tradition of letting the conversation goes where it wants to go. We will continue to always be fast, friendly and totally not safe for work.

Trust us...you'll be glad you didn't miss it after all. No need to say thank you...just send wine. :-)
Here's what you missed:

Episode 57: Stranger in a Strange Land
Jerry came bounding into the studio this morning, iPad in hand, excited to report that he has been re-reading Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. In a nutshell, it’s a book about a human raised on Mars, by Martians and now he’s trying to adjust, on Earth to what it’s like to be human. See, Elton John said himself that Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids! But I digress….
Naturally, we veered off the path of Stranger in a Strange Land, as we do, and launched into a rant against “deliberate obfuscation”, when people deliberately make things complicated and convoluted in order to hide the fact that “there’s no there there”. Our producer, Michael Clark coined a Latin phrase to sum this up: Articulatum Ad Infinitum.
Adding complexity to something does not equal adding value. So, in your life, how can you simplify your message?

Episode 68: Dude, Let's Try This!
Frequently we get asked about our tactics and strategy, in building a business and building a podcast. I had a conversation with one of our listeners about it and during the course of that conversation, it dawned on us that all along our strategy has been “dude, lets try this”. We started our podcast because we wanted to start one, we figured we’d try it and if we liked it, we’d keep doing it. That’s it. Nothing more complex or profound.
