Why Local Leadership Matters Most with Vicky Bram
<p></p><p>When I heard that my dear friend <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572775196493">Vicky Bram was running for the select board </a>in our hometown of Hopkinton, New Hampshire I knew I wanted to have her on the podcast.</p><p>If you’re thinking, “Catherine, what does a small town local election have to do with your podcast about curious creatives??”, stay with me.</p><p>This episode is (at least mostly) not about specific political issues.</p><p>It’s about recognizing that listening to your neighbor, especially when you think you don’t have anything in common, is powerful.</p><p>It’s a reminder that while we are drowning in a never-ending doom cycle of national news, that our nation is actually made up of small communities, and our own backyard is a good place to start working through the issues that affect our daily lives.</p><p>It’s about understanding that in order for things to get better, there must be compromise, and creative solutions, and good people who are willing do the unglamorous work of showing up to serve their cities and towns as volunteers, or elected officials.</p><p>From the school board, to the rec department, to the food pantry, there are so many ways to contribute, and this conversation got me thinking about how I might be more civically minded, at a time where I often feel like burying my head in the sand, or succumbing to a doom-scroll.</p><p>I hope this episode is an antidote to the the toxic sludge we’re seeing on social media around politics at every level, and a reminder that there are caring people like Vicky who are working hard to make our communities a better place to live and work, every day.</p><p></p><p>Thanks for reading Smart Cooks! This post is public so feel free to share it.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>In case you missed the last couple of Smart Cooks recipes:</strong></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Floral Designer Jeffrey Pratt Finds Beauty Wherever He Goes
<p>We are back with a new episode of Talking to Smart People! I know I was just in your inbox yesterday with the latest Smart Cooks on <a target="_blank" href="https://smartcooks.substack.com/p/white-hot-chocolate-with-flaky-sea">White Hot Chocolate,</a> but I wanted to get this lovely chat about flowers out to you on Valentine’s Day proper.</p><p>A brief programming note: No Smart Cooks next week as I’ll be on February break with the family! Going forward, I’m going to experiment with alternating traditional Smart Cooks recipe newsletters and Talking to Smart People podcast newsletters, so you’ll get one send every Wednesday. I’ve realized creating an original recipe every week, plus the bi-weekly podcast is too chaotic for this current moment of my life, and my goal is to be as consistent as possible.</p><p>Now, let’s talk flowers. And <a target="_blank" href="https://farmandson.com/">Jeffrey Pratt</a>. I met Jeffrey at lovely dinner hosted by our mutual friend <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/112293463-alice">Alice</a> Saunders of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/forestbound">Forestbound</a> design. When we talked about him doing a photoshoot for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/notjustco">not just co</a>. he jumped right in and asked if he could also do the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_Gu_ZaP-y0/?igsh=MTkyd2x4a215eXZnZQ%3D%3D&img_index=1">flowers</a>. He’s a kind, creative, go-getter, and after we had a ton of fun on that no-budget shoot, I wanted to learn more.</p><p>Tune into our chat to hear about the path from living on his family’s farm, to forays into photography and modeling, and then throwing himself into building his floral design business out of a VW van. You’ll also get some takeaways for arranging flowers at home, and keeping florals fresh, plus advice on following your own creative path.</p><p>Smash that play button up top, or listen to Talking to Smart People on <a target="_blank" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-to-smart-people/id1760371788">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5rwtV7vxI62OTGDhr0kdsJ?si=1ae6d7b75d2d4cf6&nd=1&dlsi=83d02e22fd284771">Spotify</a>, or wherever you get your podcasts. </p><p>Sometimes it takes a while for Apple and Spotify to sync up after this episode is published on Substack, so if you are someone who hurries over there to listen, thank you for your patience!</p><p><p>Thanks for reading Smart Cooks! This Valentine’s Day, I would LOVE for you to forward this email to a friend, and subscribe for free if you haven’t already!
