Summary

In today’s episode, Sharon is joined by podcaster Jeff Dauler and the two sit down and talk about Alaska’s 1964 earthquake–the largest earthquake ever recorded. While scientists said that the quake made the earth “ring like a bell” and the shaking and subsequent landslides and tsunamis devastated many Alaskan towns and cities, it also led to modern geological insights about how the earth’s crust is understood. They also talk about the lead scientist–a pioneer in her field–who led the efforts to identify potential future disasters and develop safety protocols.

0:00.0	Hello friends, welcome. Always delighted to have you with me and today I have a couple of
0:06.2	really good brain tingles for you. I'm chatting with my friend Jeff Dollar who is a podcaster
0:12.1	extraordinary himself. This is a fantasticcaster extraordinary himself.
0:13.9	This is a fantastic podcast called The Upside.
0:17.8	And we have some good stuff to get into
0:21.3	about the state of Alaska. So let's dive in. I'm Sharon McMahon and
0:25.5	welcome to the Sharon Says So podcast. Oh my goodness Jeff you are finally here after a million ice storms and illnesses and
0:37.0	reschedules. It's happening. So people are not already following you, not already

0:45.8	My wife and I started a podcast in 2019 after I lost my job in radio. I worked in radio for 25 years and got fired for the first time in 2019.
1:00.8	And so I said, you know what what let's do podcast and we were trying to think of the
1:06.3	angle and trying to think of the theme and we decided that the podcast was
1:11.2	actually the upside of me losing my job and we had it was just a really
1:18.1	rough year or so before I got fired and we were able to glide through all of that because right when we got engaged

1:44.2	And the center of it is gratitude and finding the positive,
1:50.0	understanding that even in the difficult times, there always an upside but that's not all we talk about we don't want to be
1:57.2	Prey we're intentionally not pre-Chry we're also not all sunshine and rainbows like I think a lot of people believe that in order to practice gratitude you can never be angry
2:08.1	Sad you can never have a negative emotion. It's actually the exact opposite. I also have to thank you because you had me as a
