EDITOR’S LETTER

Idle Gossip

I

’ve heard that the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. If that’s true, then Miss America Kira Kazantsev has nothing to worry about. She set social media abuzz with opposing views after performing a cup performance a la Pitch Perfect for her talent. Believe what you may about modern pageantry, she has indisputably increased the relevance of an iconic American brand that some would argue was losing its footing in our popular culture. In that way she reminds me of our own Miss America 2000, Heather French Henry, who also graced one of our very first covers and who still uses her crown to make a considerable difference in the lives of injured Veterans and in our community.

We hope to get you gossiping about our fashion editorial

this month impeccably styled by Gunnar Deatherage. You’d be sure to have people whispering for all the right reasons were you to wear any of these looks from Rodes at the track. Jenny Pfanenstiel is another name on everyone’s lips this time of year as she establishes herself as the premier couture milliner in the region (perhaps in the country) with the one year anniversary of Formé Millinery in Louisville. It is my wish that you are inspired within these pages when faced with the task of assembling your perfect Derby wardrobe, but as always when our city prepares to spend its moment in the international spotlight – let’s give them something to talk about.

Nfocus will be there to document what you wore and where you wore it, so in the spirit of doing the talking– xoxo.

Louisville Heart Ball Lots to Love about Funds Raised for the American Heart Association

Leslie and David Tate

G

uests gathered at the Louisville Marriot Downtown the week following Valentine’s Day to support The American Heart Association’s quest to fund scientific research and advocacy as well as public and professional education. The Association’s efforts are prominent all over America and have aided research leading to discoveries such as CPR, life-extending drugs, pacemakers, bypass surgery and surgical techniques.

For the 23rd Annual Louisville Heart Ball, the focus was cardiovascular research and preventative health education throughout Kentucky. At a ticket price of $500 per person all proceeds go directly toward this local research and education. With a lofty goal of $600,000, the event successfully raised $565,000.

“This year’s Louisville Heart Ball experienced its largest crowd ever with more than 700 people attending the event,” reported Courtney Burge, Heart Ball Director for the American Heart Association.

The black tie event entertained hundreds of medical professionals as well as supporters of the American Heart Association. Emcees Jennifer Baileys of WLKY and David and Leslie Tate co-chaired the event. A cocktail reception preceded a health-conscious dinner as well as silent and live auctions. Sponsors for the Louisville Heart Ball included Wellcare, Her Scene Magazine, Passport Health Plan, WLKY, News radio 84WHAS, IGE Media, VEST Advertising and BKD. “This is one of our largest and most important events,” said Burge. “The Heart Ball raises awareness of heart and health issues in our children and it also celebrates the results of our research, advocacy and educational programs at work.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, additional lives will be saved from heart disease and stroke.”

The number-one killer of Americans is heart disease. The American Heart Association’s current goal is to improve cardiovascular health by 20% and reduce death from cardiovascular disease and stroke by 20% come 2020. To help the American Heart Association reach their goal, donations can be made by calling (502) 371-6012.

McDazzle Signature Red Tie Gala for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana

Y

ou can put your superstitions aside because there was nothing but good luck for the 13th Annual McDazzle. Not even the snow storm leading up to the event could freeze out the energy of the evening in celebration of Ronald McDonald House Charities Kentuckiana. An attendance of 550 guests kept warm inside the Galt House Hotel for the signature Red Tie Gala resulting in record-setting net proceeds of more than $190,000.

Even after a festive cocktail hour followed by a delicious three-course meal and an exciting live auction, the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the McGuire family from Etoile, Kentucky. The McGuire’s shared the story of their son Levi who was born prematurely in 2013. The family checked into the Ronald McDonald House on Christmas Day and remained for nearly fifty nights while little Levi grew and gained enough strength to be released from the hospital. In the 13 years since the inception of McDazzle, the gala has raised more than $2 million to provide families with warmth, comfort and security. During the scariest and most uncertain days of their lives the house becomes a “home away from home” for families of seriously ill children just like the McGuires.

Executive Director, Hal Hedley shares, “On behalf of the families we serve, we thank our Presenting Sponsor, ConAgra Foods, as well as our Platinum Sponsors – Kosair Charities and McDonald’s Kentuckiana Restaurants, and all of our other sponsors and supporters.”

Chefs for Hope A Feast for a Better Future

T

he Salvation Army’s Culinary Training Program, the beneficiary of Chefs for Hope, encourages second chances. The program, started in 2005, endeavors to teach the homeless, individuals previously incarcerated and others living in poverty to harness their passion for cooking and provide them the necessary skills to obtain an entry level position in the culinary industry. Since the program’s inception, approximately 125 participants have graduated and moved on to productive careers in the hospitality industry. So it seems only fitting that the signature fundraiser for the program is an evening of culinary delight.

An exquisite dining experience was enjoyed by guests at the hands of six of the most renowned chefs in Louisville. Joining Josh Hillyard at Big Spring Country Club were Dean Corbett (Corbett’s Restaurant and Jack’s Lounge), Geoffrey Hyde (The Village Anchor), Oscar Maldonando (Wiltshire Pantry), Anoosh Shariat (Anoosh Bistro) and Daniel Stage (Louisville Country Club).

Cindy Carcione, a devoted Salvation Army volunteer, has chaired the event since it started six years ago and passionately believes, “Everyone deserves a second chance – sometimes a third chance. If you are willing to put in the work, why shouldn’t we give you an opportunity?” The program is certainly not a hand out.

It does indeed require a great deal of effort by the recipient. Cindy details, “It is an intensive 10-week session that results in about 150 hours of actual class time.”

Meanwhile, participants must remain sober throughout training and are required to partake in counseling to address any other life issues that may exist. “Some people do things they shouldn’t just to survive because they don’t have the skills to survive otherwise. This program is about trying to give people like that an opportunity to have a life skill.”

Thanks to sponsors like Brown-Forman and Creation Gardens for believing in second chances.

Wine Women & Shoes Fabulous Fashion for Family Scholar House Matt Obrien, Ben Loele

I

t seems the Wine Women & Shoes planning committee thought of everything when organizing the sophomore year of their shopping and tasting event.

From hand delivered invitations to a “shoe check” upon check-in so guests could safely enter The Henry Clay and slip into something a little less comfortable, the entire affair was perfectly executed with exceptional details.

Tapping of high heels created a hurried percussion effect on the marble floor as the excited crowd sipped fine California wines and Kentucky bourbon while perusing accessories in the Marketplace. Among the silent auction items were a collection of little black dresses that had been worn and donated by celebrities like Giuliana Rancic, Jamie Lynn Sigler and Ashley Simpson. All the while, a recognizable group of Shoe Guys availed themselves for the evening to mingle among guests, display jewelry and offer champagne.

The main event, led by Mistress of Ceremonies Vicki Dortch of WLKY-TV, was a runway show impeccably styled by Saks Fifth Avenue-Cincinnati. Many took notes of their favorite items worn by the models from Heyman Talent so they could shop the designs backstage directly following the show. But first, Auctioneer Elizabeth Monarch started the bidding on exclusive packages that included VIP experiences at Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley and a Russian River Wine Country Getaway.

Shannon Crawford took home the coveted “Best in Shoe” award for her enviable Valentino Rockstud t-strap pump, while everyone waited on the edge of their seat for the announcement of the ARGI Financial Key-to-the-Closet raffle drawing – a $15,000 shopping spree to Saks Fifth Avenue.

Jessica Moore, co-chair of the event with Courtney Kempf shared, “Our second annual WWS demonstrates what a truly amazing community of women live in Louisville. We are driven, compassionate, fashion-forward and fun!” You can add generous to that list, as the evening successfully raised $278,000 for Family Scholar House. I hope the entire planning committee was able to slip off their stylish shoes and reward themselves with complimentary foot massages courtesy of Elements at the end of the night. I know I did!

The Race is On for Miss America Kira Kazantsev

W

hile in the Derby City for a Joseph Ribkoff photo shoot and an appearance on WDRB in the Morning, I had a chance to sit down with Miss America 2015, Kira Kazantsev, before her tour of Churchill Downs.

The 22-year old New Yorker, dubbed a social media genius upon her crowning, is bright, bubbly and has a penchant for Taylor Swift, buffalo wings and making children smile. What’s not to like? We nestle in a booth at the downtown Wild Eggs and she orders biscuits and gravy while Styx “Sailing Away” blares from the speakers, making this moment just a little bit of everything I love. ”I’ve been told that Louisville is The Possibility City…where art and business can thrive if you work at it. I just LOVE it!” With little down-time in her trip, she was excited to tour the galleries at 21c later that day. “My trip is a little nostalgic for me. I lived in Kentucky from the ages of two through seven. It’s changed so much! My parents took me to the Derby when I was six, but I’m excited to attend it as an actual adult this year.” She will kick off her Derby weekend by hosting the 2015 Oaks Breakfast to benefit Boys and Girls Haven.

Besides the opportunity to interact with Kira, the morning will boast a southern style breakfast, cocktails and a chance to “save the day” for the kids on their campus before heading to the track to cheer on the fillies.

There’s a crown, sash and a lot of scholarship money that comes with the title but there’s also criticism to which anyone on a national stage is subjected. The most disappointing thing about being Miss America? “The cyber bullying that goes on…that people feel it’s okay to cyber bully me via tweets or online chat rooms.” Something she refers to as “women vs women combat.” ”This sets us back hundreds

of years and makes us look silly.” She encourages young women to be positive and encouraging to other young women, to accomplish more and become greater successes.

Her personal platform of domestic violence awareness “Love Shouldn’t Hurt” is a primary focus during her year of service. “I want people to be talking about this issue. People are afraid to discuss domestic violence. There are no major events in the media; no one devotes a month to this cause. People feel that it’s none of their business and they shouldn’t step on anyone’s toes. You can change all the laws in the world, but unless you change the way people perceive this issue, you can’t have real change,” she states emphatically.

Once her year of service comes to a close, Kazantsev plans to obtain a Juris Doctorate and a Master’s degree in Business Administration and pursue a career in International Diplomacy. She wants to bring her personal platform to the international stage, as domestic violence knows no geographic barriers and is even accepted in some cultures. She was accepted to Notre Dame School of Law, but deferred her acceptance upon her crowning last September.

“I look forward to meeting strong women leaders; women that are empowered and that empower others. That’s who I want to surround myself with.” The crown has opened doors to meeting such women on a daily basis. Former First Lady and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and New York Senator Kristen Gillibrand are two she sites immediately.

One look at her Facebook page and I’m exhausted…an appearance at Harvard, a Disney Princess Half Marathon, and visiting our troops in the USO Tour (Germany, Italy, and Bahrain to name a few) all within days. continued on page 19

While her travel schedule is extensive, she can’t visit every city in every state. Her blog offers the public a chance to visit with her and understand her experiences as Miss America in her own words: “I have grown, cried, enjoyed my successes, and dealt with my failures. I have learned so much in the time I have been Miss America.

No other lesson has been more valuable than maintaining my identity through it all. I have said it time and time again: the key to success, at least within the Miss America Organization, is being real. If you’re the right one for the job…wonderful.

If not, there are a million other things that life has prepared for you. You just have to go out and Carpe Diem the heck out of it.”

What legacy does she hope to leave behind? “I hope people feel that they have connected with me; that I talk about the things that need to be talked about. I would love to be that revolutionary Miss America that brings the organization to the next level of relevancy and importance that it deserves.”

Miss America is essentially a televised job interview. Whether you loved or hated her “Cups” routine at Miss America, you’ll have to admit that it was brilliant. As the future ambassador to The Children’s Miracle Network, she took off her shoes and sat on the floor—-eye level with her target audience— -and sang her little heart out. That’s the equivalent to any CEO taking off her suit jacket and rolling up her sleeves to get the job done. And with Kazantsev as our reigning Miss America, it’s been a job well done.

through for just a few minutes. It’s the power that comes with the crown.” She continues, “The thing about visiting kids is they don’t care about whatever the media says or whatever judgements others have made…they just care that you’re there.

They love you unconditionally. That’s what makes it all worth it.”

Through the stories of Kira’s significant encounters with the children she meets, Christan Noel was inspired to create a Miss America coloring book both as a leave behind for those moved by her hospital visits and as an introduction to young girls to the Scholarship, Service, Stem and Style for which the crown represents.

Throughout the illustrations by Kendall Regan, Kira can be seen enjoying Louisville, a place she called home for five years, at various locations like Churchill Downs and the Big Four Bridge. In each fashion vignette, she models Joseph Ribkoff, the official Miss America wardrobe provider and the brand she sports to all of the appearances throughout her reign. Also within her stylish adventure, she wears stunning one-of-a-kind hat creations, crafted by some of the region’s most talented milliners and designers including Formé Millinery, David Hudson, Memasahib Couture and Theatrical Millinery as well as unforgettable feathered headpieces by The Hat Girls. Visit nfocuslouisville.com to print the coloring book in its entirety or just to enjoy the visual feast of fashion-forward Kira in our city. In her own words, “Hey, Miss A can be edgy and cool and on trend, while simultaneously tackling our society’s cultural problems and having an opinion.”

The

Milliner Is In

Story: Cassandra Mastropaolo Photography: Steve Squall Creative Direction: Gunnar Deatherage Makeup: Isidro Valencia Model: Sadie Miller (NV Models)

I

was enamored with Jenny Pfanestiel and her work from the minute I met her. I was familiar with her store, Formé Millinery in the Mellwood Arts Center and had heard nothing short of glowing reviews from those who knew her. Upon my first introduction to Jenny, her arms brimming with various sized hat boxes, I knew I was in the presence of someone who cared deeply about their work and whose passion and skill radiated through her creations. I had been asked to model in a Formé Millinery photoshoot on this particular day and I felt deeply honored to wear such carefully crafted art, even if just for the duration of a few snaps of the camera. In the local art and fashion scene, it has become unquestionably clear that, just as the sign on her storefront reads, “the milliner is in”.

Always impeccably put together and not without her art adorning her head, Jenny talks eloquently and enthusiastically about her craft. Having found her start in hat making against the backdrop of 15 years of experience in costume

design in Chicago, she worked in a variety of realms including theater, commercials, television and the grandiose production of Cirque Du Soleil. “Unfortunately the school I was at for costume design did not offer a millinery course,” she explains. It was during this time that she met a milliner of 40 years from New York. “I had always loved hats as a little girl,” Jenny says, “and I asked her ‘How did you get into this?’” It was through this relationship that Jenny learned about ‘blocking’, the traditional practice of molding fabric over a wooden hat block.

With this process in hand and her experience in design and hand sewing, hat making came naturally. “It was the missing link!” she exclaims. A primarily self-taught artist, Jenny then began experimenting with different materials and traditional hat blocks, of which she collected from various estate sales, antique shops, and retired milliners. Jenny’s love and skill for her craft continued to grow; “I thought ‘Maybe I could really do this!’” she reminisces fondly.

It comes as almost no surprise that her first encounter with Louisville was continued on page 34

related to the famously ‘most exciting two minutes in sports.’ It was during a hat showcase in Chicago that Jenny was asked if she had ever thought about coming to the Derby. She laughs now when recalling that she had to ask what it was. “I just made hats because I loved them and at that point it was just a hobby.” Jenny describes her first Derby experience as the “start of the beginning” and fell in love with the city shortly after. “I was blown away with how nice everyone was and how supportive the town was of small businesses.” After their home sold in Chicago, Jenny and her husband took the jump in 2014 and moved to Louisville. Previously operating her business out of her home in Chicago, she was eager to find a separate space for her hat shop and Formé swiftly found it’s home in Mellwood Arts Center.

“I love creating with my hands and letting the material become what it wants to become” It is within the walls of Formé Millinery that Jenny has cultivated a business driven by talent, passion and dedication. “I take great pride and respect in the old tradition of hat making,” she explains, “I make my hats the traditional way on wooden hat blocks.” As she describes the process of creating a hat, it is undeniable the amount of great care and attention that Jenny gives each of her pieces. A custom piece begins with a client consultation, in which proper measurements are taken, materials and colors are chosen, and decoration and embellishments are discussed. “After that, it takes about three or four days to make the hat.” She explains the process from wetting the material, to molding or sculpting it appropriately on the wooden block, to the hand sewn work, finishing touches, and detailed decoration. Outside of the traditional hat making process, Jenny’s passion also lies in experimenting with materials and shapes, constantly evolving her work. “I love creating with my hands and letting the material become what it wants to become. I like to think of them as sculptures for the head.” Jenny’s skill and passion have lent themselves to her varied product offerings. Whether it be an ornate headpiece for Derby or the perfect last touch on a cocktail outfit, she can do it all. Formé also carries winter hats, a baby hat collection, a “Hats for Hair Loss” line, and bridal pieces, to name a few. “I make hats for all seasons and occasions,” Jenny states.

In looking toward the future, many more exciting things lie in store for Jenny and her business. This June will mark the release of The Making of a Milliner, a book published by Dover Publications that will include nine hat making projects and discuss proper hat care and storage as well as tips on setting up a millinery studio.

Jenny is also set to take her work across the pond in 2016, where she will be holding workshops in France. Long term, hopes of opening the Formé School of Millinery are high, which would be the first school solely dedicated to the art of hat making. “I would love to help make Kentucky the hat capital of the U.S.,” Jenny adds zealously. The milliner is in, and she is here to stay.

More information about Jenny, Formé Millinery, and upcoming workshops and events can be found online at www.formeonlineshop.com.

Thunder Over Louisville For: Kentucky Derby Festival When: Saturday, April 18 Tariff: Free!

A

nd she’s off! Trish Osborn may be the busiest woman in Louisville this month, but along with her signature cat eye glasses, she’ll be sporting her characteristic infectious energy through it all. The Senior Vice President of American Founders Bank was elected as Chair of the 2015 Kentucky Derby Festival where she has served on the Board since 2007, helping to plan events like the Macy’s Spring Fashion Show, the Marathon and miniMarathon and Thunder Over Louisville. Before that, she got her start as a volunteer selling Pegasus Pins in 1983. Trish gives us some tips on how to maximize your fun with KDF this season.

With two full weeks of Festival events (let’s be honest, it’s actually way more than that), what are the events that you look forward to the most.

I truly love them all. Each one has its own character. I have such fond memories of attending many of them growing up here in Louisville. I have a very special place in my heart for all of the balloon events and the Marathon/ miniMarathon as I have spent a lot of time on each of those event committees. I have become close friends with many of the committee members and staff through our time together.

KDF season is a busy time for everyone in this city if you do it right, but almost no one more

than you. What will be your strategy for keeping up your energy level through it all?

Naps will be important! Lots of water, being flexible, comfortable shoes and having a gr� at circle of friends and family to help me manage my KDF life will be crucial!

You can have all the critical information for the over 60 events at your fingertips with the KDF app. Do you have any other insider tips for enjoying the best KDF experience?

Keep extra Pegasus pins in your car, so when you want to attend an event you are good to go!

Try to attend at least two events you have never attended before. We are truly blessed to have an award winning festival in our hometown everyone needs to experience all that it has to offer! You may find a new favorite!

I love the KDF tagline “The stories you tell happen here.” Tell us a memorable story about one of your KDF experiences through the years.

I have several, but the main reason a smile comes to my face every time I think of the Derby Festival is the joy that it brought to me and my family as a child growing up here. I specifically remember the excitement I experienced attending one of the early balloon races by climbing to the top of Iroquois Park to watch them all take off and fly over our city. It was magical. I feel so humbled and honored to represent the great people that bring this tremendous celebration to our wonderful hometown.

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT

Doctors and Lawyers for Kids

N

o wind, no rain, no winter storm, could stop Sarah Martin, Esq. and Dr. Ted Steinbock from hosting a Doctors and Lawyers for Kids fundraiser at their Glenview home in the middle of snowpocalypse. If doctors and lawyers know anything, it’s how to navigate unexpected circumstances and often masterfully transform them into favorable outcomes.

On this icy winter night, they came together to raise money to ensure children of families with few financial resources can get their legal needs met once they are identified.

The trick here is that the person who uncovers a given child’s legal needs isn’t a lawyer, it’s the child’s physician; because as Martha Hasselbacher, President of Doctors and Lawyers for Kids, explained, that’s the provider parents in poverty trust enough to reveal what’s really going on with the child or in the family. The organization is a not-for-profit with 275 iterations around the country. When parents take their kids in for well checks, vaccinations or even colds, Hasselbacher said, clinicians hear their legal history as well as their medical history as a “cost effective intervention for kids when they are the most vulnerable.”

Inasmuch as the legal system’s strong suit may not be serving society’s neediest, Doctors and Lawyers for Kids’ application of “preventive law with preventive medicine” could keep kids and families from the trap that is one many working poor face: being hailed into Court for dependency and neglect with no resources to solve problems. Parents and kids get stuck in a double bind of poverty and Court dates that is hard to escape, particularly without recourse to affordable

medical care and appropriate social services to satisfy the Court’s dictates.

What Doctors and Lawyers for Kids does on the front end is train healthcare workers to triage health issues they can fix and refers to and funds the legal team to alleviate, if not outright remedy, the rest, Hasselbacher said.

Through formerly donated start-up seed money, grants and private donations, this medical/legal partnership has come to the aid of kids here for the last five years and counting.

The organization now has one fulltime lawyer and a part-time paralegal to address every case referred to Legal Aid from an identifying physician “partner.” An additional lawyer could make a world of difference for local kids with parents who have little or no income.

Funds raised would also allow the organization to take its show on the road to more family health clinics and perhaps even catch early signs of child abuse that may otherwise go unnoticed if the child isn’t in school or is isolated.

Chief Judge for Jefferson Family Court, Honorable Paula Sherlock, said the Family Court Bench partnered on child abuse prevention materials with pediatricians and are proud supporters of the “Hugs Not Hits” outreach.

Last year, Judge Sherlock said she participated in a role play exercise to understand why domestic violence victims stay in abusive relationships and how domestic abuse affects children. Given several options tied to certain outcomes, she had to choose whether to stay in her relationship or go. For the kids that don’t get to choose families that aren’t embroiled in trauma or violence, the least we can do is support programs that seek to fix what ails them.

Corporate SPOTLIGHT

Churchill Downs

D

erby 2015 marks the biggest year yet for thousands of pounds of local produce to be served at Churchill Downs. Thanks to a group of individuals working ideas into action, their creative juices shaped a reality.

Lynn Greene of Louisville Metro is the consultant for Louisville Farm to Table who connects farmers with institutions seeking local food. “That whole organization has helped bridge the gap between end users such as myself and the farms, working to set up a distribution network that wasn’t there before,” said David Danielson, executive sous chef at Churchill Downs.

With Derby around the bend May 2nd, Greene has been working directly with Danielson to get Churchill Downs as much local product as possible, as well as wholesale and local distributer Jose Cubero of Piazza Produce.

“For Churchill Downs to start sourcing locally is just thrilling for our farmers,” Greene said. “It will be wonderful to see the long-term effect of these purchases for our local economy.”

Local producers such as Gallrein Farms, Rootbound Farm, Sharpe Farms and Millard Long have recently adopted flash freezing techniques which has helped supply Churchill Down’s high demand. Local sweet potatoes, green beans and butternut squash can be eaten out of season thanks to freezing. “This year with the addition of the flash frozen is a major, major departure in increase in the amount of local product that we’ve used over past years,” said Danielson.

Dohn Farm will make possible the famous Mint Juleps with their mint grown right off Dixie Highway.

Kentucky Hydro Farms in Benton sup-

ply tomatoes, English cucumbers and hydro bib lettuce and Ripple Ridge Farm in Shelbyville will bring local tomatoes and micro greens. There will be Capriole goat cheese, Kenny Cheeses and Boone Creek cheeses (one bourbon-infused cheese dubbed “Kentucky Derby”). Van Meter Family Farms in Clarkson will supply strawberries and Grateful Greens of Clarksville, Indiana will supply herbs such as basil, thyme and rosemary.

Danielson gives a sneak peak for a few dishes on menu for Derby 2015: Derby day in Millionaires Row a farro salad with butternut squash will be served. A sautéed chicken breast with wild rice, butternut squash, corn and leeks will be offered on grounds. Oaks day features pickled sweet potato salad, charred pecans and maple bourbon dressing. Sides such as a goat cheese beet salad and green beans with sesame seeds and local sorghum will be offered. Last but not least, strawberry icebox cake makes for a sweet finish.

“We’re looking to the Derby and beyond,” Danielson said. “We’re already setting up the program to work with farmers this spring who would be growing for us leading into the fall meet, and growing products we can preserve for the 2016 Derby.”

All three see this year as a building block. With 2015 setting the quality bar high, they foresee the demand of local food continuing to grow.

“I think people need to recognize the quality of what is being produced in Kentucky,” Cubero said. “It’s the quality of that product that creates that demand. The farmers and all of the other producers here in Kentucky need to be given an ‘attaboy and ‘attagirl for the fact that they’re really doing the kind of work that creates excitement.” allison Goodan nfocuslouisville.com

y backup plan is a Hawaiian beach booth with a sign that reads: “Legal Advice $50” a la Lucy and Peanuts. While my great escape might not be your shot of bourbon, we all have little tweaks we employ to keep us going.

Welcome to Hacking 101.

“Hacking technically means cracking into a system without proper authorization; however, it has come to mean a clever solution to an otherwise cumbersome or difficult problem,” said Shala Mahdavi, founder of Girl Develop It (GDI), designed to teach women over 18 to learn to code. As a front end developer and designer, Mahdavi knows about shortcuts, which she said is really what hacking has come to mean.

From FitBits™ we wear to track physical activity to alarms we set to check in on work progress, hacks may satisfy our need for instant data and gratification in addition to providing the novelty some of us (I) need to avoid the feeling that we (I) are (am) smothering from the same old routine. Life hacks shake things up.

Take Erik Snyder, a guy who likes to find new ways to do things.

Snyder, formerly of North Carolina and a Louisvillian for the last three years, talked to me after a work trip to SXSW for the company MedTouch, who makes websites for health care organizations.

Snyder said he had two hacks to offer me: 1) Never let a good line go to waste. Some of the best networking is standing in line, and 2) Move far away from home at least once. The latter allows one to reinvent oneself.

If it’s reinvention you’re after, can the small shortcuts work or do we need more to really make

a difference in our lives? “It is so difficult to change in a lasting way,” said Dr. Ashley Peak, a local psychiatrist whose practice is Peak Wellness. Hacks can be helpful, she said, but humans aren’t really designed to take in as much information as we’re bombarded with every second that may impel us to feel the need to micromanage our behavior. “Hacks might be a distraction from the real issue. If you’re constantly grasping to have more time, ask yourself, ‘Does the way I spend my time match up to the way I want to spend my life?’

The answer is no for most of us.”

Pilgrimages arguably qualify as life hacks, though most wouldn’t see two week trips to Nepal as shortcuts. Jason Clark, co-owner of Via Studio just returned from his first trip to India and offered this: “Get ENTIRELY out of your comfort zone.” Clark said after a minor panic attack on his third day, “I settled in and had amazing experiences and met folks from all over the globe. Owning a small business and growing teams requires me to understand people. You can’t do that effectively if you don’t have perspective.” Clark was awed by the economic disparity between life in Nepal and life in the US, noting that comparatively, “We live like kings,” and said it would take weeks or months to clarify how he feels changed now. Clark said he employs daily life hacks too, since he can’t globetrot on the reg. “I prefer to make my own coffee, take the stairs rather than the elevator, open doors for people, say please and thank you. Tiny life hacks are necessary as long as they are not a fashion statement.”

Maybe I should rethink the bikini in my bag for my beach booth.
