What Not To Say When Your Friend is Struggling
Great talk. I'm glad this was recommended to me.
I am a musician in Atlanta. Michael Brecker is one of my favorite musicians of all time, am reading his biography, “Ode To A Tenor Titan”, for the second time, and am realizing Seventh Avenue South was a very important hub for that whole scene. As someone born later in the 80’s who is always back researching these musicians, I didn’t understand there was a central locus where they all hung out. Kate is in the book! I was looking for stuff on TH-cam tonight about the club, like a documentary, but there is nothing except performances, not many pictures, no stories. This video is awesome - it should have more views.
Hey Michael. Glad you stumbled onto this episode with Kate. I was just texting with her about another new book that came she called “Talkin’ Greenwich Village by David Browne.” Might be a good addition to your back in the day research archives of Jazz scene in NYC. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations!!!
Thank you - 100!!!
This just happened again today for the 900th time. That’s why I googled “why do people say everything happens for a reason”, that’s how I found your podcast. I despise that people say this. It doesn’t help or fix problems in any way. I am/we are going through a corporate buy out and all of our stores are closing. I am the merchandising manager for the company and am now on the front lines in a busy store every day because I haven’t found a new job yet (never mind the 100 jobs I’ve applied for and am more than qualified for). Every single customer wants to talk about “why is the store closing”, I told a lady today that I cannot possibly retell the sad story again, but it’s a really terrible situation. Please google it. She said the thing! This fires me up so much. Really lady!? What IS the REASON for 250 people losing their jobs with a successful company that was taken over for greed. What IS the REASON I’ve applied for 100 jobs but am still here listening to annoying insensitive people like you all day every day? Please just buy your discounted items and leave. Thanks, I needed to rant. Because so many people have spewed this nonsense on me in the past 2 months, I’ve picked it apart like you have. There is NO reason for most of the horrible things that happen, like families trapped in warring countries, my mom suddenly dying in February leaving my dad completely alone, my good friend who was just fired from her job, my husband’s mom lingering on with dementia and cancer, and the list goes on to eternity through all of the ages. There is no reason, bad things happen and we’ve got to process and move on. That’s all 😊
Thank you Janette, Rachel and Laurie! Such a wonderful and heartfelt conversation. I took notes and will share with a dear friend about to do an oral defense of his dissertation. This was fun and inspiring.
Glad you like our interview with Laurie. She has such great energy. We learned a lot, too! Great tips for disseration defense for sure!
Kate, you are amazing!! ❤
Wholeheartedly agree.
20 years ago now, I found "Triggers", an amazing album. I then found the rest of her 90's output, and enjoyed her ever since. A through line from Serge G, F Hardy, Stereolab, Cardigans, Ivy, etc. French accented pop. Listen to anything she does, it is great. Allons-y!
Same! When I met her when I moved to NJ I was a bit freaked out because I remembered sitting at my desk as an intern listening to the Triggers album. She is a talented and fascinating artist.
Love this poster! Thanks for the story behind the art!
He is a terrific artist and person to know. We loved talking with him!
Amazing interview with Kevin! ❤
Kevin is the best. We had a lot of fun talking with him.
This is a great episode! Good topic, and the podcast I find interesting (must admit depends on episode b/c of great variety).
Thank you. Our episodes cover a variety of topics, and many people enjoyed this specific topic. Warren is a great storyteller, and his book has been optioned to be a movie.
Good interview, but I have to ask- do you have a producer? Someone needs to suggest, maybe that’s me, that there’s a bit too much of a distraction. That being- Interrupting to finish someone else’s sentence. I suppose it’s something that people can accept, to a greater or lesser degree, in daily conversations. Not a good thing in an interview. I don’t mean to be harsh, it’s a suggestion. Otherwise, 🎉😊!
Thank you Mark. 💯 I - Janette have been working to stop interrupting. I’ve gotten better but still not perfect.
I think it's a balance. Some fun banter is good.
@fortuneapparelskt
Kate is an amazing person I had the honor of being in her 7th 8th and 9th grade language Arts class she brought the love of reading and writing to my life. I will never forget how much excitement she brought to literature. I will never forget her! Love you Mrs Greenfield!!!
You made me want to be back in high school in her class! How lucky you were to have that experience.
Thanks for this!! Great to hear and see Kate speak. Greetings from Holland, Louis Gerrits (Mike Brecker material collector).
Greetings to Holland. I saw some great jazz legend interviews on your channel. Great stuff.
She's a legend herself! Thanks for the interview and the photos!
Glad you enjoyed the interview.
dat great! check Urozaur also! :)
A Montclairian, go Renee
It would be nice to know exactly what Chrissy Thomas’s views actually are. I am fourth generation in Montclair and the number one issue facing seniors especially one’s that own a home is high property taxes. Ours at 20,000 that’s not too mention inflation affecting purchasing power which will continue to rise. Let’s hope Mrs. Thomas has a clue as to the suffering of not only seniors but young people as well. James and Dale Stivaly
Her main position seems to be transparency, credibility, and accountability for the council based on what we've read, seen, and spoken with her about. We haven't heard much about topics related to seniors or taxes from her but we may have missed it somewhere. Here's her website link if you want to look into it more chrissyformontclair.com/
You should watch it again because she explained her views. She is for transparency, oversight and common sense.
I love how people that come to Montclair and think they know what's better for a town that was #1 in the country for a family of interracial relations. My family has been in Montclair for over 100 years and never felt any racial divide until now. This woman is talking about luxury cars. THAT is not Montclair. Worried about nonsense.
Great interview !
Glad you like the interview!

How remarkable these two are professionally and personally! Loved learning more about the world of professional dance. Inspiring!
This was such an unexpected treat of interview. I went in thinking I didn't know anything about this world of dance and left so impressed and inspired.
Such a lovely cousin I have. I am proud both of you. With so many kiss and love ❤️
Wow! Thank you so much! I admire the work you are doing and to be a part of your journey on this podcast which features so many accomplished people, it's such an honor to be included.
We loved interviewing you and having you on this New Jersey ride with us!
It's Margot with T, everyone. The video has it without because Janette's mom went by Margo and she did the graphics and she messed up. Loved interviewing you two!
I didn't know about Montclair's history with football. Great interview!
Jessica is a rock star!! We all need kindness...and wow, Jessica exudes and spreads kindness and inspires others to do the same. Thank you, Lost in New Jersey, for featuring Jessica...and thank you, Jessica, for being you!!!!!!
Love this. Love her. Have been following her for a while on Instagram. Not only is she caring and making a difference but her posts are really creative. Also, I was looking for the What If information and found it in the show notes. Thank you!
Great interview with a truly fabulous woman! I had the pleasure of attending her fashion show which was such a positive and joyful experience. P.S. Thank you for adding the video to your TH-cam Channel for the podcast!
What an inspiration Jorge's journey is. Exactly the interview I needed to listen to as I am contemplating the pursuit of a creative project.

It was great getting to know Sarah. We need more doers! Upcycling laptops for those in need is a big deal. Thank you, Sarah!
I totally agree!
Great interview with a legend! I appreciate learning more about such an accomplished person using their success to make a difference! Also, it's great to see your faces as I listen to all your episodes on TH-cam.
He is such an impressive person.
Craig: "If you're lucky people will tell you what you don't want to hear." Reminding me that feedback can hurt but is necessary.
That really resonated.
Wonderful to learn about the Howe house and thank you to Kimberly for all she does for the community.
Such a wonderful person doing wonderful things.
Lovely person who happens to be a doctor!
100% accurate 🙂
I think this interview is a new favorite Lost in Jersey episode for me! I had no idea Church Street was a cemetery or that Montclair used to be part of Bloomfield, why the town's population is historically diverse, why we have magnet schools here and... so much other great info. Thank you!!!!
A new favorite! Yay! Hard to believe we've lived here so long and didn't know any of this! Must take a walking tour one day!
Excellent interview. I use Hello toothpaste and love it. Craig is so down-to-earth and seems so generous even though he has experienced great success. Looking forward to his next invention!
I had no idea about the work involved with her job which goes wayyy beyond cats and dogs. Also, you can tell she is passionate about getting important information out to the public - which makes me feel like she cares so much. I sort of feel like she could carry her own podcast herself as she has so many stories. Thank you for a great interview!
My favorite movie was "Lady and the Tramp" as a kid and man oh man did that cloud my judgment. She loves animals more than anyone can!
Really enjoyed this interview!
So glad you did! Georgette is so great.
Nice to hear from a woman who seems to really care about people and is making a difference. Thank you.
So true. Her story and success should be taught in business schools.
🔥🔥 Great interview!
Thank you!
