The Creative Open Forum was Started in 2018 to help people get into Podcasting and Writing. The podcast The Creative Open Forum invites people to share audio recordings to be posted so they can see if Podcasting is something that they would be interested in. I am expanding it to turn more people into Authors as well by allowing people to submit short stories for collaborative books and small books to be printed for them.

Conversation with Jason Jean of Tattered Beans Coffee

Community

Over 30 DAYS Ago Charlotte, United States

Today I had the pleasure of chatting with Veteran and Founder of Tattered Beans Coffee, Jason Jean.

Jason Jean was born in Williamsport, PA. His mother and father instilled hardworking, blue collar values in him from a young age. At only 14, he was running his own roofing crew. He played football in high school and used that skill later in college. After an ankle injury playing college football, Jason came back to his hometown. He needed something more, and his dad suggested he join the Air Force. He was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana, where he was part of the 341stSecurity Forces Group. After suffering a debilitating knee injury, he was honorably discharged a short time later, destroying his dream of being a military lifer.

Once he left the Air Force, Jason’s entrepreneurial spirit finally had a chance to break out. He owned his own construction company, which lead to many great experiences. He has also been involved in various other enterprises, including nightclubs, hotels, alternative lifestyle events, and cafes. He has made it a point to give back to military veterans throughout his businesses, whether that be through helping feed homeless veterans in Central PA at his cafes or giving them a place to stay in a building he owned.

Because of his mission to give back to the veterans he admires, he kept striving to find a bigger way to achieve that. Seeing all the stories about organizations misusing funds that were supposed to go to veterans, Jason knew he had to do something. Why weren’t these funds going directly to veterans? Why is there so much red tape? After doing research on how these non-profits operated, an idea was born. He was in the process of working with a roaster in Lancaster County, PA, to start a coffee line. With so many Americans drinking coffee every single day, why not use that as a vehicle to drive donations directly to veterans?

Tattered Beans is a veteran owned, veteran focused coffee company that gives back directly to veterans. Through their direct donation project, proceeds from each bag of coffee sold goes directly to the veteran or military branch of the customer’s choice. How is that possible? Customers simply go to tatteredbeans.com, select a veteran or military branch, then shop for their coffee as normal. For each $12 bag of coffee sold, $4 is given to the veteran selected. Because transparency is important to Tattered Beans, we want to make it clear that we are a for-profit company that operates on $1 per bag sold.

What happens when a customer selects a military branch instead? Tattered Beans then takes that money and gives it to a veteran within the database under that branch that had no donations that month.

One obstacle that Tattered Beans has faced is getting veterans involved. Putting money directly in their pockets is not an easy sell, as not everyone needs, or is willing to admit they need, help. This led Tattered Beans to give veterans options. When submitting their information at vets.tatteredbeans.com, veterans (or their loved ones) have the option to choose if the money goes directly to them, to a veteran they know needs help, or to an organization that is close to their heart. The only requirement for veterans is that they were honorably discharged. Tattered Beans wants to make sure every veteran knows that their service to our country is greatly appreciated.

Tattered Beans stands out from the veteran owned coffee company crowd because of their unique direct donation project. Jason Jean, the founder, has made it a mission to make a positive impact in veterans’ lives throughout the country. Tattered Beans has made it a goal to give back $4,000,000 to veterans by the end of 2019. To get involved, head over to tatteredbeans.com and get started.

Conversation with Stephanie Hall

Today on Car Thoughts with David Today on the show I invited Stephanie Hall back on the show and we talk more in depth about YouMap and I was the subject of the study.

A Little more on Stephanie...

She helps people figure out what they want to be when they grow up and that is something that I think is really needed with the career landscape shifting.

With graduation fast approaching, I remember thinking one thing: what on earth do I want to do with my life now?

After personally going through the struggle of lacking a career direction and having no clarity in my professional identity, I finally found my calling after going through the YouMap Career Discovery process.

She is the founder and creator of an application called FamTyme it is an app that helps children become more self-aware of their emotions and provide awareness to parents through reports and articles to help their child navigate effectively through any emotional challenges. She really is such a dynamic and creative person and through this process finding that there is a huge need to help parents and children better communicate through discovering the root emotions that they are dealing with. We talk about life and experiences and how we communicate win a very human level and I really am glad that Purvi agreed to come on the show.

From personal experience I can say that my parents and I have good communication now but it wasn't until I was in my mid to late 20's that this really happened so the idea of helping that process happen even sooner really interested me.

Wonder Women of Wine and Champagne with Rob Statham

Community

Over 30 DAYS Ago Charlotte, NC, USA

Today we talk about the amazing wonder women that shaped, changed and influenced the wine and champagne industry and about some of the ones that still are today!

• Claudia Harris – first female Master Sommelier, passed exam in 1984. This is no easy feat as it is perhaps the most rigorous service exam to pass in the world. Heavy emphasis was placed on this in the 2012 movie Somms. The Court of Master Sommeliers sadly has been plagued in a cheating scandal since October of 2018.

• Sarah Morphew Stephen (British) became the first female Master of Wine, the highest trade designation for wine studies in the world, and by far, the most difficult came about in 1970 with the successful competition of this very rigorous program. When she succeeded in passing the exam she received a 25-minute lecture from Michael Broadbent, the chairman of the Institute of the Masters Of Wine at the time. This set the course for a number of very successful female masters of wine in today’s modern age. Out of the 369 MWs, 131 are female, some of the most prominent being:

• Jancis Robinson – world class wine critic, writes a weekly column for the Financial Times, provides advice for the wine cellar of Queen Elizabeth II, part of the Order of the British Empire and known for her works on the World Atlas of Wine.

• Debra Meiburg – known for her ground-breaking work on Georgian wines, award winning multimedia wine journalist, wine educator, wine judge and first recipient of the MW title in Asia

• Jeannie Cho Lee - award winning author, TV host, first ethnically Asian Master of Wine, based out of Hong Kong. Also a Master Sake Sommelier.

• Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan – Highly influential in the world of wine with countless media appearances – New York Times, NBC, Wine Library TV. She is also the author of several books and currently runs a business called MasterWineOnline.com, which helps students enrolled in internationally recognized certification bodies to succeed with their studies, right up to the Master of Wine Level. Jennifer is perhaps the most down to earth and engaging personality that I have met at this level. She is a huge asset to the wine world.

Operation Clusterpuck with Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss

Community

Over 30 DAYS Ago Charlotte, NC, USA

Today on the show I do my first interview with two guests. We all talk about writing and their incredibly entertaining books about life in the corporate world. They took the experience and funny stories they had collected in their years of working with many different corporations and put them together in two great books, with more to come hopefully.

If you have ever worked in an office you need to read these books and listen to this episode.

Operation Clusterpuck tells the funny, cynical but heartfelt story of Business Solutions, Inc. (BSI) — a U.S. corporation whose leaders have set in motion a series of disastrous projects that threaten to take the company down. BSI’s ragtag communications team once again gets pressed into action, juggling around-the-clock workloads, battling ruthless execs, and struggling to find meaning in their lives outside of work.

“We wanted to tell the story of those unsung corporate heroes — the ones who are barely keeping their heads above water, but still do the right thing for their work ‘family,’ even when it’s not easy,” says coauthor Jennifer Rock.

“Readers often tell us they recognize themselves and their co-workers in our novels,” adds coauthor Michael Voss. “We’re thrilled to reflect their work lives and experiences. Even if our stories might feel like a fun-house mirror.”
