BBP - Berendzen Bond Podcast

This focus on habit is truly a spotlight on the work it takes to create good habits.  Many things we share are the outcome of habits that help us enjoy time together as a family and support each other's interests and health.   Cheerio and Happy Sunday...yay its not 100 degrees anymore!

An amazing series of events led up to this episode.  From worrying about how to pull it off, to crypto investments going up high enough to fund this epic adventure and not break our normal bank, to landing at an airport and our rental car not being given to us....which ended up becoming a very cool experience on Amtrak which was nice for all of us to experience.  One main goal was going...

After almost 8 years, finally a Father-Daughter camp trip is in the books of history.  Alot hotter than California camping, and, more bugs and sweat.  But totally worth it.  Thanks to wonderful family opening up a spot on the G.O.A.T. Ranch in Glen Rose.  Oh yeah and we got some jokes for you.  Dad Jokes.  Get some. Get your goat yoga ON this Sunday! The GOAT Ranch Be...

Today we catch up on our Hill Country Kart Club recon missions, getting Xbox remote play setup, and then Diego breaks down his favorite camp, Wet and Wild Camp. https://www.hillcountrykartclub.com/ https://wetwildcamp.com/ Be Healthy Yall Follow us on Instagram

A major step has been taken, Diego's first solo led podcast! Very proud of him.  It's with his cousin and GP, a short one but still big accomplishment of leading it without me in the room.  I foolishly expected it to go longer, but had to later acknowledge to him what he did and apologize for not first recognizing what he just achieved.  A lesson for me for sure, one we can probably...

Well well well, the world of VR is here to stay I think.  Diego schools me, per usual, about emerging tech because I do not know how to game.  Groups, chats, rooms, etc....he's on it.  I'll stick to my old man stuff, for now.  Another nice short hang. Here's the links to one of the games he talked about, and one of my favorite science sites. LINK to Rec Room  SciTech HOMEP...

Finally! Uncle Craig got to jump on the mic and school us on his epic journey of life and plumbing.  How it steered his life and what is going on currently in his industry, which affects all of us every day and gets overlooked or taken for granted most days.....WATER.  Plumbing and water, which elevates our livelihood and lifestyle dramatically.  We can't thank people working in the...

Nothing major.  Chit chat, and its like that. Cheers to everything to be grateful for.  Yeah, she's 7 now. whoa. Be Healthy Yall

My good friend and fellow colorist in LA, one of the hardest working and real people in this world I'm fortunate enough to know, Marcelo Aprile. ------------------------- He was born and raised in Brazil, moved the US at 20 years old to help the future for himself and his family.   Then returned to Brazil with skills he pushed hard for here in the states, overcoming many obstacles that e...

Another song by my favorite rapper Aesop Rock, from the album Spirit World Field Guide.  I do recommend. Here's link to the video and the lyrics. One of the most under appreciated poets of our time. --------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQN78fUpSwY --------------- https://genius.com/Aesop-rock-the-gates-lyrics --------------- As always, be Healthy Yall!  

Wow....seeing people again.  Very strange indeed.  But man am I happy to have had the forced opportunity this past year to straighten things out I had overlooked and ignored for too long.  Feeling better about where we are and how my family pulled through this time with strength and positivity that will continue to grow.   --------------------- With so much happening so fast, I...

Exploring this book has been enlightening, and definitely deepened my knowledge of what dedication to spreading health, happiness and strength looks like.  I first read Becoming the Iceman awhile back, and it inspired me then, but this book further explained the updates to what the WHM is capable of. ------------------ Here is a link to the book, and the artist that I hired to draw the pictur...

Totally random convo, using Mind Games by Michael Powell as a conversation starter.  Spring Break 2021 is over, the feeling this year versus spring break 2020 is much, much different.  At this time last year, we were all spraying door handles, changes hand towels every 10 seconds, and wiping down every bag and every grocery coming into the house.  We were bringing up the battle gate...

Hello Happy Sunday.  Today I sat with Sofia and just went over what we did this weekend, and as unimportant as it may seem on the outset, in my opinion its definitely not.  We forget things quite quickly being humans in this world, and to miss reminiscing about 24 hours ago is a good thing.  We got to see a farm that has been around since 2004, and that provides our weekly organic v...

Today Diego and I had the pleasure and honor of speaking with Glen Young, a longtime friend who I haven't spent nearly enough time in person with.  He has lived and continues to live his passion for climbing and mountaineering.  He shares some of the genesis of how he became to be a Martial Arts Muay Thai instructor in Thailand, ice climbing in Alaska, Washington St., Nepal, amongst many...

Well well isn't time to do some adulting one sided reading.  You get to hear my soothing voice read through "Nudge" by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein.  Very interesting read, and most surprising, it nudged me to action.   ------------ At end is short catch up with the kids which I hope you enjoy. ------------ As always, Be Healthy YALL

A big smile on Diego's face, that what I do this for.  Having close friends with such amazing lives and talents beyond what can be touched on in an hour.  I look forward more conversations with Robert, who shares experiences from childhood to current adulthood about Baja Mexico off-road racing, building pre-runners, racing dirt bikes, and pushing himself further every step of the way.&nb...

Here we are, the long awaited end to 2020.  But through all the changes in almost everything, we have gained a chance to look at how we spend our time, how we spend our money, where we put energy, how to help ourselves and others more.  It's been an introspective one for sure, and our country is forced to face how we make and buy foods, what problems our current food system has created,...

Hello, we are in Zoom land, a perfect sign and sound for ending 2020.  Diego, and all of us really, have become very comfortable and used to Zoom for meeting and talking with one another. We just hang, and here is a link to build your own versions of the Lexus LFA. https://blog.lexus.co.uk/lexus-lfa-paper-model/ Be Healthy Yall

This is what's left after four amazing days of family you haven't seen in months.  Kids are thoroughly exhausted and not into it, but I have to capture what I can, even if it's only 20 minutes of their voices and their time.  They are here.  They won't always be.  It's not the conversation, it's that we're having one, and I'm listening, I'm wanting to be here with them.  I...

Houston born and raised, she pursued barbering after 13 years as a stylist, during which time she lived and worked in San Francisco and New York before returning to Texas.  She shared with us her journey to connecting with her profession, and will be opening her own trailer here in East Austin soon. - A life changing illness led her to begin creating her own barber products, free from toxins,...

Ahhhhhh yes....American Election time.  No, not discussing it here much.  Instead....I try to illuminate what my confused and spinning mind is like.  Being home with all its perks, differences, changes...what's happening in the background of my thoughts while trying to spend (and not miss) time with my kids, all while not allowing the drastic change of daily life to steer me back to...

This is an audio presentation for Diego's school assignment, and I thank his guides at school for giving him this option as a way to share what he learned.   Short and I try to pull as much info out of him as possible, and he surprises me with what he knows and with some big words.  Good stuff.  Sometimes even 10 minutes of someone looking at you in the eye and listening can ma...
