#153 Conversations in Quarantine: Ty Rose- When to Go with Your Gut
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes You know for the last couple of weeks I seem to have focused a lot energy on this idea of Navigating with No Map. Today I plan to kinda continue with that thought but with an entirely different take, which is about: “When to Go with Your Gut.” I’m a “gut guy.” I believe that humans have millions of years of evolution updating our knowledge of the role of intuition in decision-making. It has only been since the industrial revolution that we have begun to use numbers and analyses as fundamental guidelines for our significant choices in life. Although such a move has...

#152Conversations in Quarantine: Terry Hershey- A World on Tilt
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Hey Paul, did you realize that when this show goes live we will have been in some kind of quarantine for 10-12 weeks? Now, for those few of us that are old and introverted, this really hasn’t been all that difficult. But I think of many others… people with kids, or couples in relationships that are not so good or, worse, what about those tragic occurrences of abusive homes. Man… I can’t imagine. My heart genuinely goes out… But, on the other hand, I think for the majority of us, this time of quarantine is more like a gross inconvenience than any thing else. Sure I miss my...

#151 Glenn Parrish: Conversations in Quarantine-The Future of the Arts and Non-Profits
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes In keeping with the intentions of our current series “Conversations in Quarantine,” it has been at least one year since our guest today and I have met face to face… and he lives within 10 miles of me. I guess that tells you about friendships with an introvert. It’s not that we don’t like people. We just don’t want to wear out our welcome. I have been trying to get today’s guest on the show since our inception. Well, here we are 150 episodes in, and we finally have with us, Glenn Parrish—the guy I like to refer to as “the Smartest Man I Know.” Glenn comes to us...

#149 Dena Crowder: Conversations in Quarantine-Surviving or Thriving in Quarantine
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes The show today is being recorded on April 22, 2020, and we’re more than 5 weeks into our California state-wide quarantine in which most of us are expected to stay at home, going out only for food or what’s being called “essential” needs. Basically, it’s a never-ending Home Alone or Ground Hog Day movie. Now, today we continue with the 4th edition of “Conversations in Quarantine” in which I call an old friend I have not spoken with for months or years even, as was last episode with Caitlyn Doemner who I hadn’t talked to in a decade. Today’s conversation is...

The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Well Paul… Here we are on April 15, 2020, more than 30 days into some form of quarantine. As we continue to do our shows remotely we will, for the 3rd time, have a “Conversation in Quarantine” with a friend of mine that I haven’t spoken with for some time.

#147 Conversations in Quarantine: Sherry Benjamins: Life in Times of Uncertainty
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Last week we began a novel approach to our shows by introducing “Conversations in Quarantine.” We are doing this in response to the suggestion by several leaders that “making phone calls” to friends, especially long lost friends, is a good way to regain some kind of “social connection with people we care about. We plan to do just that… except we are doing it on the podcast. Today I want to call my dear friend, Sherry Benjamins who was on the show just over one year ago. Sherry is the president of the most influential S. Benjamins and Company. From recruitment to...

#146 Conversations in Quarantine Taryn Voget-The Gypsy Genius
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today we’re doing something new… again. Since we are all sheltering in our homes, in quarantine, I have found many suggestions for maintaining sanity. One of the best suggestions out there is the one that satisfies a fundamental human need for connection: And that is “making phone calls” to friends, especially long lost friends. So, what I decided to test is making one of the conversations on the podcast—live. The format is that I have contacted the person beforehand, just to let them know I wanted them to be on the podcast. And then I call them from the show to hold...

#145 Terry Hershey: The Life-Giving Role of Pause and Connectivity
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Truth is, the original podcast today lost good audio connection in taping, and could not be published today. I hope to publish another version next week. So, instead of failing to post a podcast, Producer Paul, Terry Hershey and I did a 30 minute unprepared and unedited show on some interesting ideas of coping with the quarantine on “renaming” the situation we find ourselves in—one of opposites: the need for solitude in a crowded home and the need for a supportive and dependable community to depend on in these kind of circumstance. No prepared questions with just a...

#144 Terry Hershey: Hope Has Not Been Cancelled
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes We are doing a timely show as we are deep in the initial stages of the Coronavirus on March 18, 2020 where virtually everything is cancelled or closed: schools and churches are cancelled, bars and clubs are closed, restaurants are closed to the public except for take out, no gathering of people at all so all events are cancelled from concerts to all sporting events to all conferences. And worst of all, Starbucks is limited to drive-through. But, as our friend Terry Hershey wrote in his blog, Sabbath Moment, last Monday, one very important thing has not been cancelled, and that...
info_outlineOur conversation today is with Molli Ezio, who goes by Ezio. Ezio is co-owner of one of the most famous restaurants in Northern Italy named La Darsena. Located in Lake Como, it is about as far north as you can get in Italy. The setting here is enchanting—a lake surrounded by dozens of magnificent little breathtaking Italian villages. In fact, George Clooney, Richard Branson, and Mark Zuckerberg all own villas here.
Molli Ezio, has led an industrious life, owning 6 hotels and restaurants in Lake Como only to realize that a 16 hour work-day didn’t allow him to be the kind of father he wanted to be to his children. So he eventually downsized to just one restaurant and hotel, La Darsena in Tremezzo, Lake Como.
In this interview Charlie and Ezio talk about the importance of family from a personal Italian point of view. And then we discuss the constant seasonal changes required to operate a world-class restaurant.
Please note that English is Ezio’s second language. Sometimes communication between the two becomes an adventure in translation. All the more fun!
