JJ Resnick, the COO and co-founder of Moscow Copper Co and the Founder of Service Dog Registration, met with host Mark Sylvester to talk about the founding of Moscow Copper and how his grandmother, the inventor of the Moscow Mule, was the inspiration for this company. He also talks about his passion project for Service Dogs and Emotional Support Dogs. His story of meeting veteran Brad Fight and coming up with this idea that Post Traumatic Stress is NOT a disorder is very interesting. That’s where Drop the D (as a campaign rally cry) came from.

	•	Hear the origin story of the Moscow Mule and how it tied over to Mad Men
	•	Learn how a chance buying trip to China influenced his business plan for the Copper Company.
	•	The difference between a service animal and an emotional support animal
	•	Interesting skills that can be taught to dogs include ‘balance support’
	•	Did you know that dogs can be trained to support diabetics too?
	•	Some great quotes during the show

"Something older than me and I like that" - in reference to why the Moscow Mule is so popular as a cocktail

"Nothing like NO to get you to go" - where we find our motivation

Lyrics
Atop a hill under the mango tree
Wishing on a memory
Hoping you were sitting thinking of me

Although I played with myself baby I had to weep
In tribute to a very funky tragedy
Plucked a piece of fruit it wasn't so sweet

Ah ah ah woo woo yeah

And the sun shone down so ferociously
Though my skin burned my heart was stone cold you see
Hoping you were siting thinking of me

Come Naeja won't you pretty please rescue me
At the bottom of my barrel on bended knee
I'm sick of sour mangos give me some sweet

Ah ah ah woo woo yeah

I had a dream and it felt just like you
I'll never know if our love was true 
Keep on dancing I'll keep on dancing

Atop a hill under the mango tree
Wishing on a memory
Hoping you were siting thinking of me

Ah ah ah woo woo yeah

I think about listening carefully

"6 out of 10 adults fear running out of money."

Kevin Bourke, CFP, the founder of Bourke Wealth Management and noted Author, sat with Mark and Patrick to talk about his practice and his novel approach to managing finances. We thought this would be a great interview to have after we had talked with Professor Harry Starn about training Certified Financial Planners. We were right.

This wide-ranging conversation covered a lot of ground including:

Kevin's been doing financial planning for 30 years and tells us a bit about his backstory
Hear about his fascination with finance, part of Marks' neverending quest to find out what caused the guest to choose their career path
His attitude about cold-calling - doesn't bother him, hear why.
How he got his first business license and it wasn't for being a planner
His philosophy about the role of the Financial Planner in your life - think Quarterback, if you like sports analogies
When do you hire a Financial Planner? When there's a life event, that causes an accumulation of wealth or a distribution of wealth
Why'd he write his book? Looking at his LinkedIn page, you'll see he's written a lot over the years.
How's he been able to keep 100% of his clients? Secret: Effective onboarding strategy of 4-6 meetings per prospect
One of his red flags with a new client? They treat his staff poorly. Interesting comment
What's the question that prospects don't know to ask? What happens to the money if he leaves? Answer: He has a succession plan with other planners
Teaching at UCSB Extention - he loves to teach
The power of Storytelling - we finished the interview the same way we did with the Professor - talking about storytelling and professional services
Who's his favorite group to talk to: Service Organizations

Make Your Money Last a Lifetime - Kevin Bourke, CFP

The amazing story behind packedkits.com

"We started that night"

Angel Speier (pronounced Spire) is the co-founder, with her husband of PackedKits. She met with Mark and Patrick for a candid and funny conversation about how they decided to build a company the night that he had his first Chemo session.

Packed Kits are designed for people enduring chemotherapy, and the caregivers who accompany them. The idea came from practical experience when Angel and Kevin started going to UCLA Medical Center for treatments.

This wide-ranging conversation covered a lot of ground including:

-Background on Angel and Kevin, where they're from and their families
-More backstory about how they met, got married and started their family
-The day they got the diagnosis
-How Kevins background as Pre-Med and Angel's experience in Fashion and Product development uniquely qualified them to launch the company
-The story behind Packed Kits and why it's such a great idea
-Mark and Patrick let Angel take them through each of the kits, Medical, Plush, Fun and Dopp
-Angel's focus on the experience of someone opening the package for the first time and a story about one of their customers who was sent a kit and her experience of opening it and breaking down.
-They donate 10% of each sale to charity and frequently give kits to non-profits to use for fundraisers

Patrick and I both wish Angel and Kevin the best. They're fighters. We love that.

Angel loves writing, she's blogging at http://PackedKits.com.

We are joined by UC Davis professor of literature and critical theory, JOSHUA CLOVER, who is also a communist and the author of several books including RIOT STRIKE RIOT: THE NEW ERA OF UPRISINGS (Verso, 2016). 

This conversation begins with the street protests that have erupted across the US in response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and so many other black Americans at the hands of the police. It then expands to encompass digital platforms, definitions of violence and property, the promise of communes, and the caveats of UBI, giving a trans-historical view of revolutionary resistance at the hinge points of political transformation.

Clarification: At 21:55, Clover refers to the Civil Rights Act (re the 1968 MLK Jr. riots). This is technically accurate, and it was officially known as the Civil Rights Act of 1968. But that risks confusing it with the far more well-known Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is why the 1968 act is more popularly know as the Fair Housing Act.
