BBP - Berendzen Bond Podcast

We are back, and shortly after receiving my pre-ordered book by the owner of White Oak Pastures, I couldn't stop reading. Enjoy and be Healthy Yall! From Amazon: From a pioneer of the regenerative agriculture movement, a memoir-meets-manifesto on betting the farm on a better future for our food, animals, land, local communities, and our climate Buy BOLD RETURN HERE

At last, we're back and can begin to share what living at an Expat is like so far. There is always more details, and we did record one with both kids that didn't make it, but here we are. Its been quite an experiential almost 4 months. A book is in progress for the next one, but for now, we take some time so share what is current for us here in Panamá. Hope you enjoy it, and thank you for...

Another one to go along with episodes 79 and 105. Things change quickly and there is a mountain range of information, so staying focused with precision and learning before jumping to the next thing has been key. I'm eager to learn about another network besides the XRPL called the Casper Network, but will not dedicate time to it until my head is fully around all the new functionalities it has....

Embarking on the next chapter of life, by the time this podcast is available I'll be on a plane with our two dogs headed to Panama City, Panamá where I'll meet up with my family to live some life in Latin America as we have always wanted to do. I expect obstacles and hurdles, but also expect fun and new found freedom. Its been a very busy 8 months leading up to this day, and it already fee...

Today we sat with Kalyani Sundaresan. She is a software architect and lead with strong full stack skills. But she is here with us because she was also Sofia's first official sewing teacher, and shared this skill passed down from a long family history, full of hand crafting skill sets that used to be more commonplace. ------- And her love of creating and finding her renewed passion for the art...

Another week, another chance to experience life in whatever form you decide to aim at. This one, just catching what's going on, keeping it light. ------------ BUT, again, huge thank you to some audio professionals for helping me work towards learning new gear and software. Slowly starting to get it, but I have much respect for all the audio engineers out there. And a little highlight on the gu...

As I continue with some hereditary history and family tree stories, we were leading up to this conversation with my Dad to keep giving past context to our family history. This lets the kids know who came before them, and a chance to learn that each generation lives very differently and lives take some twists and turns. And some people have bobcats for pets, or something like that, but hey, its Tex...

More reading from some of my Papa's stories, this one about his grandfather, Papa Patton. We'll read from his time in the army next. Nice to share these short memoirs as he did intend them to be shared, and short vignettes from any life are cool to hear I think. Take care and Be Healthy Yall, like my Papa who maintained good health and mobility until the end. BBP INSTAGRAM Take a look at a...

We returned from awesome weekend of racing with family at Mammoth Race in Glen Rose, Texas, its return since 2019 due to tiny virus slowdown. SMH.  So happy to have TWO weekends of family time back to back.  I finally got myself in a kart like Diego has been racing in, and it is definitely harder than I thought, so more kudos to that kid. Take care and Be Healthy Yall BBP INSTAGRAM &nbsp...

Welcome back! Year is cruising along. Today I sat with Sofia and talked about her latest passion, baking. Anyone at my office is well aware as I have had to offload, I mean share, the many treats she is creating. Dinners is what I'm pushing for, but who doesn't love cupcakes, cakes, buttercream, fondant, chocolate ganache, sprinkles and so on? Yeah, not the health food I envisioned but once her co...

We're BACK!  I missed it, but we have much to share and will be back on regular schedule, learning and sharing as we go through this life.  I hope everyone is having a good summer, making the most of what time we have.  So much room for activities! Be well, and as always, Be Healthy.

Well, we finally aren't Covid ninjas anymore.  Whole house at least gets to endure it together, and glad we are getting through it ok.  Soon as the same weights I lift every other day felt 3 times heavier, I knew something was up.  I feel fortunate that didn't last long, but a reminder nonetheless how grateful I am to be in good health.   ---------- While home as a family, just...

We had another phone podcast, in parking lot before soccer game. Conversation typical of our random thoughts, caught em again.

What's up with O- blood you ask?  Yeah you didn't but we're going to talk about it anyway.  So many questions from kids makes me realize I know so very, very little.  But, it gets me to learn more all the time.   I reflect a short bit on us all seeming to be in a new time, but not fully aware of how we've changed, or not giving it time to settle in as we notice it.  It's h...

30th Anniversary Ferrari Challenge kicked off at COTA here in Austin yesterday.  An ALL Ferrari event, with drivers from all over US, Canada, and one from Brazil.  This was a free event, open to the public.  If you go, make sure to go up the tower, its worth it. See site and stats HERE And we'll be seeing Austin's first pro team, the Austin FC Soccer team play against Miami today. &...

Dr. David Perlmutter kills it again, next book on my list is Brain Wash.  Today I cover Brain Maker, which can be purchased HERE . A great read, I took longer to get through it than normal, and need to incorporate some of the fermented foods that he suggests, and also finally take a try at making yogurt in our pressure cooker.   It's another good reminder about the connection of food to...

Diego picked up the book Chadwick Boseman, Forever our King at Barnes and Nobles last week and read through it quickly.  I'm glad he chose to learn more about his superhero favorites, and about the person behind the character.  I didn't know myself how much of an impact his entire career made in such a short lifespan, not just Black Panther.  This impact even is inspirational in the...

Our guest on today's episode is Ade Olufeko, a thought leader based in Lagos, Nigeria. Ade is an established speaker on digital media, developing technologies, humanities and innovation, having worked with major global brands and spoken around the world. He is also the curator of Visual Collaborative, an interesting collection of art shows, digital media, and interview collections. On this episode...

Goodbye 2021, Hello 2022. Head up, Shoulders back, Eyes forward. Let's GO!   Happy New Year everyone, and as always,  Be Healthy Yall!!

This Christmas season is very different from 2020.  Today was an entire father daughter weekend, and we made sure to make the most of it.  Legos, hot chocolate, shopping, San Marcos Xmas Festival, a podcast and some Fro-Yo yo.   ------- I don't always get things right, I like anyone else take life and time for granted (less as I age I'm noticing), or let emotions get the better of m...

And he's BACK! After 2 years of craziness and lots of wheel to wheel under his racing belt, Brian came to hang and share some time with us.  Can't appreciate him enough for showing Diego what it's like to dedicate many hours, time, and resources to his passion of racing.  He has centralized his focus now on Grid Life Touring Cup, and improved his standing dramatically since we last sat w...

We came, we left, we came back, and now we're here but this time.....a new chapter shall begin.  A true chapter turn in life.  It's felt when it happens, and you know when it is what it is.  Reminds me of one podcast where I was thinking about life in 5 year sections, and this one is right about that.   We hang and just chat.  Things discussed are:  6th grade.  M...

While I'm still reading "Brain Maker" by Dr. Perlmutter, I thought we should just have a round table of nothing particular.  Inflatable unicorns, dogs losing their minds, or whatevs.   Enjoy and Be Healthy Yall.  Smiling uses less muscles than frowning.  Just saying.

Love this new ritual.
