Minnesota Nice and Focus on Positive News

Martin: 00:00:00

Foreign welcome to Tea Party Media Episode 14 I Am Martin Lindeskog and I'll

Martin: 00:00:20

check here if I'll go live here on YouTube.

Martin: 00:00:26

I tried to connect on LinkedIn and Facebook but I didn't manage to do it.

Martin: 00:00:32

But I will check here.

Martin: 00:00:33

I'm going live on YouTube so managed to do

Martin: 00:00:42

that.

Martin: 00:00:42

Double check here.

Martin: 00:00:43

Yeah, so it's working.

Martin: 00:00:45

So I will do this.

Martin: 00:00:48

Oops. Short and sweet.

Martin: 00:00:50

Talking about the headline and subject title

Martin: 00:00:53

you could say for the episode will be Minnesota Nice and focus on positive news.

Martin: 00:01:00

And I'm wearing here a hoodie from Minnesota University that I got from a friend who visit

Martin: 00:01:08

the state at the travel at the trip and at the project there.

Martin: 00:01:14

Regarding could say business, small business integration.

Martin: 00:01:19

What to learn from America when it comes to integration with business and when you're

Martin: 00:01:29

coming from a foreign country like Somalia.

Martin: 00:01:33

More about that in a future episode.

Martin: 00:01:37

So I got to hear the expression.

Martin: 00:01:40

I learned the expression from friend here, Deborah Anderson.

Martin: 00:01:44

Deborah E. Yes.

Martin: 00:01:45

Singer from Los Angeles and now also co host

Martin: 00:01:49

of a new podcast Fusion Studio.

Martin: 00:01:53

Fusion like science fiction, SF studio Fusion.

Martin: 00:01:58

And she told about the expression how to be

Martin: 00:02:01

nice Minnesotan way.

Martin: 00:02:04

So I will do some research on that and learn

Martin: 00:02:07

from that.

Martin: 00:02:08

And Minnesota, plenty of Swedes immigrated there and it could be for one reason that they

Martin: 00:02:19

like the landscape and the style and so on.

Martin: 00:02:23

So Minnesota is place for immigrants and

Martin: 00:02:29

Swedes immigrating.

Martin: 00:02:31

And another place is Chicago.

Martin: 00:02:33

It was the second largest city in Sweden at

Martin: 00:02:38

one time.

Martin: 00:02:38

Chicago.

Martin: 00:02:39

So Minnesota Nice.

Martin: 00:02:41

I want to focus here on this new year nice

Martin: 00:02:45

things.

Martin: 00:02:46

And when I picked the word focus, I have subscribed to a news magazine in Swedish

Martin: 00:02:55

called Focus in Swedish and here it's play with words.

Martin: 00:03:01

You could say Scott or leap year again.

Martin: 00:03:05

And it's about not so positive news about shooting but that it has decreased lately.

Martin: 00:03:13

But maybe in some areas especially no Go Zone in Gothenburg, Sweden Zone maybe that have

Martin: 00:03:21

increased but that also for another time.

Martin: 00:03:25

But I will use this to do live streaming once a week on Ego Netcast and also on Teapot Media

Martin: 00:03:32

and then turn them into audio episodes of my podcast Ego Netcast, my first podcast that I

Martin: 00:03:41

started in 2006 and tea party Media Tea Party Media podcast.

Martin: 00:03:50

So I will come up with the schedule here on the New Year today and as I said I will do

Martin: 00:03:56

this short and sweet because I have another recording here in a bit of a podcast called

Martin: 00:04:02

Victed Porictid by Corin Koch and that's season 13th and episode two with artist Clara

Martin: 00:04:12

Lord.

Martin: 00:04:13

So today is something called In Swedish Juvgande, Juvel or when it's when you really

Martin: 00:04:23

you say say goodbye.

Martin: 00:04:24

Goodbye to Yuletide, as I like to call it in

Martin: 00:04:29

English or Christmas.

Martin: 00:04:32

But that's also what I've talked about.

Martin: 00:04:34

Yuletide and yule log that you put in the

Martin: 00:04:37

fireplace.

Martin: 00:04:38

A word about the season holiday, what it's

Martin: 00:04:42

coming from.

Martin: 00:04:42

And it's Swedish and German Yuletide and the

Martin: 00:04:47

Yule log on fireplace.

Martin: 00:04:51

So called 20 Days After Christmas you could say.

Martin: 00:05:01

And here In Sweden it's December 24, that's Christmas starting and you have the gifts and

Martin: 00:05:09

the tree and so on.

Martin: 00:05:11

So if you take one this 20 days after that, so 31st New Year, end of the year and then now

Martin: 00:05:21

it's January 13th.

Martin: 00:05:24

So then you will have Knut 20 days of the

Martin: 00:05:29

Christmas and it's named after a saint called Knut or a prince in Denmark.

Martin: 00:05:38

And when you do, I saw it was on my Facebook Colder ice said do you still have your tree

Martin: 00:05:45

up? And then I said about that on Monday today,

Martin: 00:05:49

January 13, 2025, then officially Christmas is over.

Martin: 00:05:55

Because when you throw out the Christmas tree it's called like plundering the Christmas

Martin: 00:06:02

tree.

Martin: 00:06:02

And I think I wonder if you have some gifts or

Martin: 00:06:06

whatever.

Martin: 00:06:07

But it's like a celebration tradition and yeah, taking care of the end of the holidays.

Martin: 00:06:15

And I will see more what to talk about.

Martin: 00:06:19

So as I said weekly live session to do this on

Martin: 00:06:22

Tea Party Media and I will come up more with the schedule, find that and also about this

Martin: 00:06:30

studio fusion podcast with Deborah E.

Martin: 00:06:33

Debra Anderson. And I will include that also in the show notes so you could check that out.

Martin: 00:06:43

And again, Happy New Year this year.

Martin: 00:06:47

Later on the Asian year is the snake and I

Martin: 00:06:54

wonder what that could symbolize.

Martin: 00:06:57

But again focus on positive news and come back with that.

Martin: 00:07:02

And as I said in Swedish with Karin Koach we'll talk about creativity, inspiration and

Martin: 00:07:11

also I will add my two cents.

Martin: 00:07:14

That's how I could do this regarding podcasting and Podradio in Swedish.

Martin: 00:07:18

And this is one example of that.

Martin: 00:07:22

Got inspired by his expression Minnesota Nice by Deborah Anderson thought was a good thing

Martin: 00:07:31

to talk about live short and sweet and then use that as an episode after editing it and

Martin: 00:07:41

adding show notes and see what could turn out of that.

Martin: 00:07:46

And I did also an Instagram photo with the different note cards for the podcasts.

Martin: 00:07:53

And also see here this pen from Ballograph, a Swedish manufacturer of ball pen and lead pen

Martin: 00:08:08

and other pencils and pens.

Martin: 00:08:11

And the note cards are from model 1927.

Martin: 00:08:17

But we have had manufacturer, creator and

Martin: 00:08:20

business small business owner of that.

Martin: 00:08:23

On our show, pen meets paper.

Martin: 00:08:26

Penamette Papper in Swedish.

Martin: 00:08:29

And then, of course, I always have to end on a positive note here with the cheers saying, a

Martin: 00:08:36

sip here of tea and it's black tea.

Martin: 00:08:40

Twinings Earl Grey. And that's also a story for another time.

Martin: 00:08:45

The name of Earl Grey.

Martin: 00:08:47

Cheers.

Martin: 00:08:48

So with that said, talk to you soon again and Happy New Year.

Martin: 00:08:53

Bye for now.

Martin: 00:09:06

Sa.
