Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Crowley, Owner, Aqus Cafe, and Connector/Social Capital Catalyzer
Q: What do you mean by the intentional blend of a coffee shop and a pub as a community strategy?
The cafe combines Californian coffee culture with controlled alcohol options and a dominant community table to maximize conversations, so people naturally connect while sharing space; the aim is to create a modern pub-like gathering space with accessible, everyday interactions instead of a loud drinking environment.
Ralph Scott- Introducing Mini-Multicasting for Audiobooks
Q: So, what are some concrete specific examples of just cursory tips?
Ralph suggests practical tips like ensuring proper acoustics in a treated space, investing in quality equipment under $350, and training to move beyond simply reading to performing with authentic voice, pacing, and tone.
Lauren Scott, Pushcart Prize Nominee, Poet, Author, and lover of dogs, especially chocolate labs
Q: What has the editing and publishing process taught you about vulnerability and pursuing your writing on your own terms?
She shares that self-publishing offers control and flexibility, emphasizes that editing is essential to make work resonant with readers, and notes that seeking constructive feedback is important even though it can be emotionally challenging.
Lauren Scott, Pushcart Prize Nominee, Poet, Author, and lover of dogs, especially chocolate labs
Q: What about the book's origin story would you want new writers to hear to get them started writing their own book?
Lauren explains that the unplanned grief after Copper's passing inspired the collection, turning a moment of personal loss into a broader creative journey and highlighting the importance of writing as a cathartic process that can connect deeply with readers.
Jonathan Mahrt, Founder, Flywheel Consulting
Q: Can you share a tangible example where your cost analysis changed a client's pricing strategy?
A glass mold maker was losing money on several SKUs because costs were not accurately tracked. By costing out the entire process—materials, labor, and time—we identified unprofitable SKUs and raised prices by about 20% across the portfolio, improving overall profitability.
