    enAugust 14, 2020

    Podcast Summary

    • Exploring different ways to prioritize health and wellnessFrom medical solutions to personalized comfort and creative culinary uses, there are numerous ways to prioritize health and wellness in our daily lives.

      There are multiple ways to approach health and wellness, whether it's through weight loss solutions like PlushCare or prioritizing quality sleep with a personalized Sleep Number smart bed. PlushCare offers online access to board certified physicians who can prescribe FDA approved weight loss medications for those who qualify, making it a convenient option for those looking to start their weight loss journey. Meanwhile, the Sleep Number smart bed allows individuals to customize their comfort, leading to better sleep for couples. Additionally, the importance of appreciating the versatility of everyday foods, such as melons, was highlighted in a recent podcast episode. The hosts encouraged listeners to share pictures of their creative uses of melons, starting the #NotAllMelons campaign to show that melons can be used in savory dishes and not just for aesthetic or other inappropriate purposes. So, whether it's through medical solutions, personalized comfort, or creative culinary uses, there are numerous ways to prioritize health and wellness in our daily lives. Remember, taking care of ourselves is essential, and there's always room for a little fun and creativity along the way.

    • Fan correspondence and cocktailsEncourage your loved ones to try classic cocktails as intended and enjoy the live tour experience with potential for audience interaction using melon merchandise.

      The hosts Ben and William Jordan discussed various topics during their podcast, including their upcoming live tour, merchandise, and fan correspondence. One fan wrote in about his wife's newfound love for their podcast and her experimentation with a classic cocktail, the gin and Dubonnet, which she had been mixing with tonic instead. The hosts advised the fan to encourage his wife to try the drink as intended, as they believe it's a great drink that grows on you. Another topic discussed was the availability of melons as merchandise during their tour, and the potential for audience members to throw them on stage if things go awry. The hosts also mentioned Ben's coffee and a mistake in a fan letter's sign-off. Overall, the podcast episode was filled with light-hearted banter and advice for their fans.

    • Appreciating Creative Submissions from ListenersListeners who send in creative and thoughtful submissions can build a deeper connection with podcast hosts and their audience.

      The hosts of the podcast, despite their humorous banter, value thoughtful and creative gestures from their listeners. In this particular instance, they received a set of 10 beautifully designed cards from Jill, which they found amusing and appreciated. The cards contained speech bubbles with common grammar errors and a playful comment from William. The hosts were excited to share these cards with their audience and encouraged others to send in pictures or other creative submissions. They also reminisced about their own childhood experiences with media, including watching TV shows and wanting to be a part of them. Overall, this discussion highlights the importance of connection and engagement with their audience, as well as the hosts' lighthearted and nostalgic perspective on their own past experiences.

    • Childhood Memories Shaped Who They AreEarly experiences, like attending concerts and watching TV shows, can significantly influence our personal growth and future interests.

      Our speaker's experiences as a child, including attending a concert and watching certain TV shows, have influenced who they are today. They mention Rachel Stevens from S Club 7 and various children's programs like Bernard's Watch, Demon Headmaster, and The Worst Witch. They also express a desire to be involved in pantomime, recalling their past role as the wicked stepmother in Cinderella. Despite some mishaps during that production, they found humor in the experience. This anecdotal discussion highlights the impact of childhood memories and experiences on personal growth and future interests.

    • Sharing unconventional experiences and seeking adviceCommunicate openly, share experiences, and offer advice, even for unusual situations. Consider options like UnitedHealthcare TriTerm medical plans for flexible coverage during uncertain times, and use Stamps.com for convenient shipping solutions.

      No matter how unusual or seemingly insignificant an issue may seem, there's always a place to share and seek advice. During a bonus episode, the hosts received an email from a listener named Richard Pipkins, who had listened to an earlier episode about different types of melons and confessed that he had used a watermelon for an unconventional purpose. The hosts suggested that Richard consider sharing the podcast with his housemate as a way to address the situation. This experience highlights the importance of open communication and the power of sharing experiences and advice, even if they seem unrelated or embarrassing. Additionally, the hosts touched on the importance of having health insurance and mentioned UnitedHealthcare TriTerm medical plans as an option for those in between jobs or during open enrollment periods. The plans offer flexible coverage and access to a nationwide network of doctors and hospitals, providing peace of mind during uncertain times. Lastly, they promoted Stamps.com as a convenient solution for businesses needing to mail items, offering significant discounts on USPS and UPS shipping.

    Finding Joy In Simplicity With The Happy Pear

    Finding Joy In Simplicity With The Happy Pear
    Conducted live during our recent Plantpower Italia retreat, this special mid-week edition of the podcast features my third conversation with Stephen & David Flynn. Longtime listeners are well-acquainted with these Irish laddies. Stephen and David first appeared on the show back in June 2016 (#RRP 233) and again in November 2017 (RRP #331), a conversation captured before a live audience at Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin. For those newer to the show, David and Stephen are the joined-at-the-hip identical twin brothers behind The Happy Pear, a family run chain of natural food stores and cafés in Ireland as well as a robust line of organic, locally harvested plant-based food products available across the UK. The face and voice of Ireland's quickly growing healthy food revolution, the twins are omnipresent on social media and the bestselling authors behind a series of runaway smash-hit plant-based cookbooks, including The Happy Pear* (of course), World of the Happy Pear*, and their most recent release, The Happy Pear: Recipes for Happiness*. The Happy Pear isn't just two energetic twin brothers. It isn't just a series of cafés, cookbooks and food products. It's a movement. A movement rooted in family and community with one singular goal — to make healthy food and lifestyle mainstream. When the super fit dads aren’t making pre-school breakfast picnics on the beach, engaging in impromptu handstand competitions, conducting community-oriented health education courses or traveling extensively for public speaking, they enthusiastically guide a vast and devoted global audience of wellness warriors across every social media platform from YouTube to Instagram with an endless stream of highly entertaining, quality nutrition and fitness tips, recipes and daily slice-of-life vlogs with inspiration for miles. Picking up where our last conversation left off, please enjoy my exchange with two of the most charismatic and emphatic advocates for healthy living I have ever met. Final Note: During my recent visit to Dublin a few weeks ago, I co-hosted another live event at Smock Alley Theatre with the boys. So if you enjoy their company, you can look forward to that conversation & audience Q&A, which I will be sharing here in the coming months. Peace + Plants, Rich
