Chad Ambrose is friend who in addition to being a youth chess coach in Austin, TX, is now sharing his methods to the world through his social media presence @the.chesszone and weekly blog, Coffeefordsessert.com. He is sharing his knowledge of training and strategy for others to learn from. We talked about the process and initiative he took to start and continue growing an online presence in the chess community.
Although chess is where we started the conversation, we shifted the conversation to discuss some of the recent UFO sightings shared in the mainstream news, and an interesting dialog centered around a shared experience working at McDonalds and how that experience impacted my life.

Retired UFC veteran Ian Mccall & software developer Steve Seow have partnered together to revolutionize the judging and scoring systems in Mixed Martial Arts with their organization, Scoring Senate.
The core principles of Scoring Senate are simple: real-time, experts-based, and large panel of judges collectively referred to as the Senate. The members of the Senate are verified MMA luminaries called Senators who not only score a bout live in an open-scoring fashion round-by-round, but also add their commentary and analysis.
Each senate commissioned to each bout comprises of no fewer than 7 senators, although the platform can theoretically take hundreds or thousands if need be. Both points and comments are aggregated and shared publicly via Twitter and on the website in real time, and fans can choose to see the aggregated scorecard or individual scorecards of a senator.
I had a great time discussing how this idea came to fruition and gained a great deal of insight from UFC veteran, Ian Mccall on the impacts of the current system on fighters and their careers.

Weston Peick is a retired Supercross racer and current brand ambassador for FLY Racing. After a decorated 10 year professional career, he was seriously injured in a freak accident during a race in Paris, France in November of 2018.
Weston found himself in an unthinkable situation, waking from a coma in a foreign country with multiple facial fractures and the loss of sight in his right eye. Something that closed one chapter but has since opened several more in both racing and as an entrepreneur.
He shared this story as well as others from his career which paint an unconventional path to the top ranks of Supercross. I really enjoyed talking to him and am looking forward to his review of the Aktion specialty coffee we are sending his way.

This episode is from the archives (my dropbox) where it has sat unpublished for some time. It was the last episode I recorded of my former podcast, Bud Brothers with my younger brother Joe (aka Doobie). It was different from the rest we had done and in retrospect was the very first Curious Jones Podcast episode I ever did, I just didn't know it yet. It was short and raw but hysterically funny, especially if you know my brother Joe. The perfect episode to pass some time digesting turkey over your holiday break!
If you enjoy it, make sure to leave a review and let me know where you are listening from!

Ty Empey is a friend and current admissions and marketing associate for a Utah based detox facility. He is currently 4+ years sober after spending several years addicted to alcohol, heroin and other drugs and now works at a detox center providing others with the help that ultimately saved his life.
We talked about his initial use of stimulants which he took to aid in working long hours, and how it ultimately manifested into an opiate and meth addiction, the loss of friends, family and sense of himself.
His story is raw and may be difficult to hear but one that we both feel should be shared with as many as possible. I really appreciate his willingness to share it in the detail he did and hope you enjoy it as well.
