Vi snakker om stemningen der, de viktigste takeawayene, og hvordan Greg Abel fungerer som ny CEO. Hvordan oppleves overgangen fra Buffett/Munger-æraen til en mer operasjonelt drevet fase? Abel vektlegger «operational excellence» og disiplinert kapitalallokering – ser vi allerede konkrete endringer? Med rekordhøy kontantbeholdning: Hva tror Bernt Berkshire ser etter i sitt neste store oppkjøp?Hovedtemaet er avkastning gjennom generasjoner. Berkshire har levert ekstrem avkastning i tiår etter tiår, men er nå i transformasjon fra geni-drevet aksjeplukking til operasjonell excellence. Vi trekker paralleller til nordiske suksesshistorier:Lundin-familiens selskaper som eksempel på vellykket generasjonstransformasjon – ekstremt entreprenørielle, naturressursfokuserte, sykliske og prosjektorienterte – og hvorfor de skiller seg fra de andre svenske investmentbolagene.Felles kjennetegn ved dynastier som Investor AB, Lundin, Aker, Kinnevik, Exor og Ackermans & van Haaren som har levert ekstrem avkastning over lange perioder.Hvor viktig er den langsiktige, aktive eierskapsmodellen med «skin in the game» og generasjonsperspektiv? Hvor viktig er kultur og misjon?Til slutt ser vi fremover: Hvilke nye founder-led eller familiebaserte imperier bygges nå i Norden og internasjonalt som kan bli de neste Investor AB om 20–30 år? Hvilke egenskaper kreves for å bygge et slikt dynasti-selskap i dagens marked?

Italian researchers recently claimed 80% confidence in a buried second sphinx at Giza, and the mainstream dismissed it before the news cycle finished. But the question they raised is not new. It goes back to the oldest religious texts we have. The god the sphinx was built to embody was Aker, one of the most ancient deities in the Egyptian pantheon. He was always depicted as two lions named Yesterday and Tomorrow, guarding the eastern and western horizons, holding the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead. The Dream Stele placed between the sphinx's paws shows two sphinxes facing each other. A fragmented Middle Kingdom papyrus mentions a second one. Every major ancient civilization that built a cosmology around thresholds built twin guardians at those thresholds: the Assyrian Lamassu, the Sumerian Divine Twins, the scorpion-beings at Mashu, the Zoroastrian Gopatha.Why does the human imagination keep arriving at the same answer when it contemplates the place where worlds meet? What does it mean that the sphinx may be one half of a paired mechanism that was either never completed or was completed and then lost? And what are the implications of four thousand years of civilization oriented around a cosmological instrument that may have been broken before any of us got here?

I'm your host Miata Tan, and you are tuning into APEX Express, a weekly radio show that uplifts the voices and stories of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The United States runs the largest immigration detention system in the world. Earlier this year, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE, [00:01:00] held a record. 73,000 people in immigration detention the highest number in the agency's 23 year history. Since January 20, 25, over 6,200 kids have passed through ICE detention. Tonight we hear from a community who are shining a light on this issue and working to end the ongoing detention of immigrant and asylum seeking families.  Rob Buscher: The Japanese American story and Asian American story are just one chapter in this much larger chronicle of state violence, and we. See our role as, as also helping to connect the dots and be the connective tissue. Miata Tan: That was the voice of Rob Buscher, the Director of Operations at Tsuru for Solidarity, a nationwide organization with a mission to educate, advocate, and protest to close all US detention site. And bring an end to inhumane immigration policies. Tsuru for Solidarity is led by [00:02:00] the survivors and descendants of Japanese Americans who are incarcerated in concentration camps by the US government in World War ii. Our three guests tonight are shaping the future of this work at Tsuru for Solidarity. They share with us how the legacy of Japanese American wartime incarceration is deeply intertwined with the present day realities that many immigrant communities are facing. First up is Mike Ishii, the Executive Director of Tsuru for Solidarity. Here's Mike taking us back to the inception of this organization and national movement. Mike Ishii: In 2016 the Obama administration decided to really lean into. A deterrence policy of immigration. When they had first entered office, we thought they may actually provide some relief for immigrants. But in fact, what they ended up doing was weaponizing the immigration policy at the southern border against immigrants. And they built [00:03:00] Karnes and Dilley, which were the first family detention centers. Carl Takei, one of the founding members of Tsuru for Solidarity. In fact, I think he was just honored by, the Asian Bar Association for his longtime advocacy work in community spaces. Well, in 2016 when the Obama administration really opened Karnes and Dilley, Carl was working at the A CLU in immigration and the Obama administration had the audacity to want to invite advocates from all over the country to show off their new detention centers. And so when Carl entered into those sites, what he encountered was a room that was. Full of giant cabinets floor to ceiling. And when they opened the doors, what he saw inside were thousands of shoes for infants. And it took his breath away and he realized, oh my God, these are concentration camps for children. And you know, this really. Resonated with his [00:04:00] own family's history of mass incarceration during World War ii. So what he did was he immediately called Dr. Satsuki Ina, Dr. Ina is very famous. For a number of things. One is that she is really the preeminent community trauma specialist in the Japanese American community. She was born inside of the Tula Lake Segregation Center, a concentration camp. She would grow up to become a very, well-known psychotherapist in the Japanese American community. Dr. Ina. Is really like Carl's auntie, and so he said, this is happening at the southern border. I want you to come have a look. She went inside and she was actually able to meet with families and their children, and she of course can do a psychological assessment  She began to advocate. Against these camps because what she realized was that the conditions, the experiences, the trauma that these children were experiencing was very similar to what our own survivors had experienced as children during World War ii in the US concentration caps. [00:05:00] So there's one of the genesis prongs of Tsuru for solidarity. If you fast forward. To 2018, you have the zero tolerance policy under Trump, administration, 1.0. And if you remember, at that time, as an extension. of deterrence, they were separating children from their families at the southern border. These are families who were seeking refugee status, who were seeking asylum, who were presenting for asylum. That's a constitutional and human right, protected by the Geneva Conventions. They would take those families, they would literally strip the children away from their parents. They deported the parents. Purposefully they did not record where they were sending them often deported not to countries of origin. So in many cases, we still have not reunited those families. We don't know where the parents are and the children are still here, nine, 10 years later, With unaccompanied status because they purposefully destroyed the connections and the ability to [00:06:00] trace and reunite those families. That's Trump 1.0. And when they were doing that they were also expanding these large congregate concentration caps for children. They were calling them influx centers and saying, oh, they'll only be processed through these, and then we'll release children into. Custody of family members, et cetera. That was not true. They were actually prisons for children and they were literal concentration camps. It's violating the due process laws of the United States. there's no accountability. There's no oversight. And so Tsuru for Solidarity emerged in 2018 as an organization of Japanese Americans, really led by survivors who were children in camps and their descendants.  My own mother was incarcerated in a concentration camp in Idaho with her family. During World War ii, she was 10 years old at that time. She had two younger sisters and her youngest sister was born inside of the Minidoka concentration camp and experienced birth trauma because they had no doctors. She was, um, birthed by a veterinarian [00:07:00] and ex experienced, um, lack of oxygen And so she lived a life of tremendous suffering and, and disability. Um, that was often unrecognized as trauma from a concentration camp. She attempted to commit suicide multiple times. Eventually would die an early death from mental health. Complications. That's the legacy of the camps of World War ii, and understanding that multi-generational impact is partly why suited for solidarity emerged in 2018 when we recognized that they were repeating our history, and that's why we're here today. Miata Tan: That was Mike Ishii, Executive Director at Tsuru for Solidarity. Mike described how Tsuru's work grew in response to the ongoing detention of immigrant children in the United States. As he mentioned, many Japanese Americans have deep roots in this country. Now let's hear from Rob Buscher Tsuru's, Director of [00:08:00] Operations. He's a mixed race yonsei or fourth generation Japanese American. You may hear him use terms like yonsei to describe different generations. Now, here's Rob Unpacking the legacy of Japanese American incarceration, including the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which issued a formal apology and reparations and what that history means for other communities today. Rob Buscher: In 2018 and 2019, our community was not the one that was at risk of being detained. We were not the ones who were being targeted by the state violence of immigrant detention and enforcement. and yet we had this ability to kind of think about and talk about. Multi-generational impacts of the trauma from World War ii. Um, it's not just the survivors of camp and the children of camp. It's the children and grandchildren of this experience who continue to suffer multi-generational effects of trauma, whether it be higher, uh, incidents of anxiety and stress leading to a [00:09:00] variety of health issues, uh, substance abuse issues the forced assimilation that resulted in the aftermath of our resettlement into the broader American society has also resulted in a great deal of assimilation trauma. So for a number of sansei and yonsei and gosei now trying to understand, uh, what is our history and heritage? How can we relate to something that was forcibly removed from us and really navigating this idea that at sometimes feels like a racial imposter syndrome, uh, when we don't know our own histories because it was forcibly taken from us. In a variety of ways, uh, I think that the Japanese American community's role, and specifically through Tsuru, has been rooted in this idea of solidarity and collective liberation because we understand that the effects. Our trauma, we're part of this much longer continuum of anti-black racism, of anti indigenous genocide, of white supremacy in the United States. The [00:10:00] Japanese American story and Asian American story are just one chapter in this much larger chronicle of state violence, and we. See our role as, as also helping to connect the dots and be the connective tissue. In some cases, when communities who have experienced these kinds of traumas across many decades aren't always in communication with each other, aren't always in conversation, but the complexity and nuance of the American story actually lends itself to a number of parallels to have conversations around things like. Black reparations. And you know, this is another part of the work that Tsuru does in solidarity with black reparations and African American communities, descendants of chattel slavery and others who have suffered Jim Crow and other forms of state violence against black and brown communities. understanding that the, the redress story and the story of Japanese Americans receiving our own reparations. Uh, is part of this longer narrative around, uh, what does it mean to have reparative [00:11:00] justice? And, um, as some of the few people who have received reparations from the United States government, uh, many of us also see it as our obligation and duty to stand in solidarity with black reparations.  Mike Ishii: if I could just add on to that, you know. There's an intersectional history in the United States of forced removals, you know, on the enslavement blocks enforcing people on forced death marches from their home lands to reservations. In the prison system of the us The largest prison system in the world. It's forced removal, it's separation of families, it's mass incarceration it's surveillance and it's murder. And the Japanese American chapter of that history is actually a very similar story that just as, as Rob said, just keeps being repeated over and over again, but it's created in new iterations. So, just to give you a small example related to the Japanese American story. Dylan Meyer, who ran the war relocation authority, he was responsible [00:12:00] for the 10 largest, the most well known of the Japanese American concentration camps. There were actually over 75, sites of detention for Japanese Americans during World War ii. Most people don't realize that. what we were put into that system during World War II was based on the reservation model, um, of how they remove indigenous people from their homelands and then force them onto reservation lands. That model was exported. By the Nazis to build their concentration camps. So like people think, oh, Nazi Germany invented that. No, it was, that model was invented in the United States. It was then exported to Nazi Germany. It was then tailored further on Japanese American communities. And then with the forced assimilation, we were, our people were not allowed to go back to their homes initially. Dylan Meyer wrote about it in his biography. He considered the force assimilation one of his greatest accomplishments. So what he was doing was he was dispersing us and destroying us in one generation of force removal. We lost our homes, we lost our farms. We lost the nijo Mai, the Japan towns. We [00:13:00] lost our language. We lost our culture, and perhaps most importantly. We lost each other because they pitted our community against each other with a series of very divisive questionnaires that really turned people on each other, More than 84 years since the opening of the camp. We're still trying to repair the fractures of that. They're not healed yet. And so that's what Rob, when Rob refers to multi-generational trauma, we're a fractured community. Still trying to repair the implosion that was. Really dropped on us by the United States government, this is what they do repeatedly to community after community. So with the force assimilation after World War ii, they saw how that worked. Then they, they took that back and they weaponized it against, um, indigenous communities and saying, we're gonna move people off the reservations. We're gonna resettle them in cities Further isolating people away from their home communities, taking away their languages, taking them and breaking their connections to family and community. Right? Setting people up for failure in a city away from their [00:14:00] people. in poverty., And what we're witnessing right now is a culmination of hundreds of years in this of white supremacy, weaponized against our communities. More openly, more brazenly than ever before, with the full power of the United States government behind it. Miata Tan: That was Mike Ishii, Executive Director at Tsuru for Solidarity. As Mike described mass surveillance programs, the World War II, incarceration of Japanese Americans and post-war pressures to assimilate left lasting impacts on this community. In the present, Tsuru for Solidarity connects the Japanese American history to ongoing immigration detention in the United States. Here's Mike describing some of Tsuru's past and ongoing campaigns focused on closing specific detention sites, what they call site fights.  Mike Ishii: Dilley and Karnes, which are the original two sites and the largest sites in Texas, which are now in the news again, [00:15:00] because they're being reused again by the Trump administration very openly. But under Biden, we had forced 'em to close those basically functionally for families. They were using them in other ways. Which is not good. but we had forced them to stop detaining families officially. we had stopped the expansion of these large congregate sites for unaccompanied migrant children. Uh, we stopped them from opening a large one in Greensboro, North Carolina. They wanted to open what they called the Piedmont Academy. Site of the former National Jewish School that school closed. And so they had leased the property and they were gonna. Open their largest detention site for unaccompanied migrant children and call it an academy. we slowed it down and forced them to reconsider it long enough to where it became an unworkable, policy for them. And they abandoned it. We stopped them from expanding Fort Bliss. In El Paso, which is a military base that was also used as a Japanese American incarceration site [00:16:00] during World War ii. it's currently being used again. It's being called Camp East Montana, by the Trump 2.0 administration. And when they were incarcerating children there during the first Trump administration, children were literally forgotten. Their cases were forgotten, and there were children languIshiing in there for like. Up to a year at a time, and nobody knew they were there because no one cared. There were allegations of sexual abuse, uh, rotten food, children who never were allowed outside. Children covered in lice, children taking care of younger children because nobody took care of them, lack of medical care. And so if that's shocking for what was happening under the first Trump administration, it's. Also happening now. And, and there is even less oversight or accountability now than there was, during the first Trump administration because as broken as that system was, then it had more accountability because there were [00:17:00] advocates and legal representatives for children, which is almost non-existent now. They've done away with the funding for that. We have three year olds representing themselves in immigration courts now because they did away with the congressional funding to support that. That's sort of the, the constellation of. Of the work that we emerged into when we came into formation, um, under the first Trump administration. And, it, it has just continued to evolve. We've been involved in, I think it's eight site fights now. And as difficult as this moment is right now, I always wanna tell people, and frame it this way, when you fight back, you win. We closed the Berks Family Detention Center permanently. We stopped the Piedmont Academy from opening in Greensboro. Tsuru's first major action was to go to Fort Sill in Oklahoma in 2019. Um, we led two protests there. The first one went [00:18:00] sort of viral on democracy now in cause they accompanied us. They embedded themselves with us. This is the first thing we ever did in a large scale and had no idea what we were doing at that point. We just were just angry and we, and full of, passion and said we have to go there and stop them from opening. A new concentration camp for 1600 children. And so we did that. Um, as a result, United we dream joined us along with AIM Indian Territory, with Black Lives Matter, Oklahoma City. Um, with Dream Action now Oklahoma with Veterans for Peace and with many of the local tribes. We came back a month later and staged a massive, massive demonstration shut down the highway into the fort. We brought 25 Buddhist priests and nuns with us. Who chanted the heart suture at the gate, um, while DACA young people took the highway and shut it down. After that action, the governor and the two senators from Oklahoma made an announcement the next day and they said, we've decided not to open this site here because we [00:19:00] said if you move ahead with. This is just the beginning. You think this is bad. We are gonna bring thousands of people here and we will make sure this site never opens. we proved through solidarity and community organizing in that moment that when you organize in solidarity against state violence, you win. You know, it's a bad moment. Right now they're proposing what, 23, 25 new warehouse detention sites, but actually. At least three or four of them have been curtailed already because community came together and said, not in my neighborhood, not in my town, not in my city. We will oppose you. And we're getting very smart about how we work together. I think Chicago and Minneapolis, LA have really lifted up the idea that change and transformation comes from the ground up. when we wait for our. Governments to change policy for the better of people and humanity. It doesn't happen. It's [00:20:00] when it's when the grassroots decide. We band together. We protect ourselves, we care for ourselves. We organize, we stand in solidarity against state violence. Then we can move things and we can stop things. Miata Tan: That was Mike Ishii, Executive Director at Tsuru for Solidarity. As Mike described, Tsuru organizes creative nonviolent actions to challenge immigration detention and bring people into collective resistance. Stay tuned to learn more about this movement and they're opposing inhumane practices against immigrant communities. Miata Tan: [00:21:00] [00:22:00] That was Forevermore by Yuna. You are tuned into APEX Express on 94.1 KPFA, a weekly radio show uplifting the voices and stories of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. I'm your host, Miata Tan. Tonight we're centering the work of Tsuru for Solidarity, a nationwide organization with a mission to close all US detention sites and bring an end to inhumane immigration policies. Sophie Sarkar is the Bay Area organizer with Tsuru for Solidarity. Here's Sophie speaking about their approach using non-cooperation as a guiding strategy. Sophie Sarkar: Non-cooperation is the idea that. I guess there's this larger model for [00:23:00] authoritarianism. And that an authoritarian regime is actually a lot more fragile than we think because it is upheld by many different pillars of society. So for example. The authoritarian regime cannot function unless it has a military force that is supporting it, unless it has a media that's supporting it unless it has elected officials corporations, police forces. And so when we think about strategy, we're really thinking about these specific pillars. Um, instead of just like, how can we take down this, uh, authoritarian regime? We think about like, okay let's choose a pillar and let's unpack all the different layers within that pillar. So, for example, if we choose the pillar of corporations, you know, there are many different corporations that we know are supporting, working in concert and supporting ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, like enterprise, like [00:24:00] Hilton, target, home Depot. And within each of those. , Well, there are the consumers, and then there are the workers, the managers, and then the CEOs. So we try to create strategies that kind of work from at a grassroots level. So starting with the outer layer of like the consumers through boycotts to workers, labor strikes and so forth. When we're talking about non-cooperation, we're really talking about strategies that help us support people to, to dissent and to stop actually working with the regime. we learned a lot from Minneapolis where folks were calling up enterprise, um, and booking booking cars so that ICE couldn't. rent them and then just canceling last minute. Miata Tan: That was Sophie Sarkar Bay Area organizer at Tsuru for Solidarity. As Sophie described, Tsuru uses a framework of [00:25:00] non-cooperation to guide its organizing work. Their campaigns include a range of non-violent actions, letter writing, public demonstrations, and continued pressure efforts. Now returning to my conversation with Rob Buscher, Tsuru's, Director of Operations. I wanted to know how Tsuru is organizing together, how they are thinking about this strategy nationwide.  Rob Buscher: We are all remote workers, so Mike and Becca, our Director of organizing, is based in New York City. Uh, and they frequently travel, uh, every other week traveling across the country to the campaign hubs that are mainly located in the West Coast, where we have a larger Japanese American community. Seattle, Portland, San Francisco Bay Area. Those are kind of our big hubs, and that's where the bulk of Tsuru's volunteer members are located. So much of this work is campaign driven, it's really work that is ideated together [00:26:00] as, as a committee consensus based decision making that takes place both from campaign level, but also regional leaders within each one of those hubs. looking at child and family detention, looking at police prisons and detention as our two detention campaigns. Healing Justice as Mike was talking about, including Resiliency and arts as well as the core healing circles Practice that has been a, a part of our practice since the beginning. And also the solidarity with black reparations campaign. So between each of those four campaigns, we have co-chairs that lead that work. Um, they form our leadership council, which is essentially the, the board of sudu. And together with our six staff, we work very closely with the leadership council to create a plan for the organization at a larger national level. But the day-to-day operations is largely being done by our volunteer members in each one of those locations. We have busy seasons, of course. the Day of Remembrance on February 19th is a, a major focal point for a lot of [00:27:00] our historic remembrance around the anniversary of Franklin Roosevelt signing Executive order 9 0 6 6, which laid the legislative groundwork for the forced removal of our communities from the west coast and that. Has become, not just within Tsuru, but within the Japanese American community. A launch point for revisiting this history from the lens of today and trying to understand what is the role of the survivors and descendants of the Japanese American community as we see parallels to what occurred, happening to families. And individuals around the country in real time. A member of my own family was arrested under the Alien Enemies Act in 1942, and we're seeing the same kind of legislation being used against Venezuelans and other folks from Latin America. you know, when we kind of think about the role that we play today. As staff, we hold a lot of the this work from like a planning standpoint, but the actual boots on the grounds are the volunteer members of the organization. Miata Tan: That was Rob Buscher, the Director of operations at Tsuru for [00:28:00] Solidarity. Now let's return to Sophie Sarkar, the Bay Area organizer for this nationwide movement. Here Sophie reflects on Tsuru's volunteer network and the anti deportation campaigns they help to coordinate across the Bay Area. Sophie Sarkar: So our volunteers are largely Japanese American, world War ii, prison camp survivors and descendants as well as allies. And It's an amazing volunteer base to work with because it is so intergenerational. So for example, we had a strategy retreat for our leaders and our youngest participant was 21 and our oldest participant was 95. And. All the ages in between as well. that's one of the reasons I love working with this group so much because I think it's pretty rare to be in such intergenerational spaces organizing together. Yeah. And, uh, we have volunteers all across the Bay [00:29:00] Area. We have folks that. Our artists that have law degrees that, have an organizing background that have never organized before in their lives. Um, we really try to make ourselves accessible to anyone who's interested in participating. So even if um, someone is just really starting to understand the realities of the systemic violence, against immigrants in this country we, we make space for that and we really try to, offer a lot of political education to folks so. Yeah, at any level they can engage. Yeah, and we have faith leaders. We have folks who have experience with labor unions. So it is a pretty wide variety. But yeah, most of us come together with this shared historical experience of, some people themselves or their families being incarcerated during World War II i, myself am a descendant of, [00:30:00] folks who are incarcerated at Manzanar and Tulle Lake. My family were also so folks who were coerced into renunciation and quote self deportation unquote after the war. I feel so many different various connections to my own family's experiences and what's happening today. And so it just feels like a really deep yeah, just a, a deep opportunity to get to, I. Ground in my, my ancestral historical experience as, as an organizer for Tsuru. I think for many of us by really being able to show up in solidarity with groups that are facing State violence it looks different today in some ways. But it's kind of the same playbook as we might say of how the government treated our family members. And it's really an opportunity for us to. really address the [00:31:00] impacts of what happened to our families on us, across generations to address our trauma, to face it to heal from it. Miata Tan: Definitely. Could you share a little bit about what your day-to-day looks like as a organizer?  Sophie Sarkar: My role is really to work with our volunteer leaders and to support them in, , building out campaigns here in the Bay Area. So in the Bay Area we have, we are part of the ICE out of Dublin coalition and we have our own Tsuru campaign around preventing the reopening of FCI Dublin as an ice detention facility. there is currently no ice detention facility in Northern California, so that would have a huge impact on the entire Bay Area and Northern California in general. So we spend a lot of time on that, working on that campaign. we also have part in Refugees campaign where we have supported individuals at risk of [00:32:00] deportation, um, with kind of mutual aid and wraparound care. And we also have a Palestine working group that is Supporting the J eight community in the Bay Area to organize folks around the genocide and Palestine, and now the war in Lebanon and Iran. And so we will be participating, for example, in a interfaith march, and pilgrimage in May as part of that we have a child and family detention campaign that's more national. we organize monthly general meetings so that folks have a place to land with us. And at those general meetings we, give campaign updates, but we also, really try to do something engaging and like take an action together. So, at the last couple, um, general meetings, we folded paper dolls as part of a Paper Dolls campaign to raise awareness about child and family detention and the [00:33:00] 6,000 families that are currently detained by ICE. Miata Tan: That was Sophie Sarkar the Bay Area organizer at Tsuru for Solidarity. As you heard, children and families detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement are central to their campaign work. One example is the Paper Dolls to Free families Campaign that Sophie mentioned. Tsuru for Solidarity is leading this effort alongside partners in the National Coalition to End Family and Child Detention. The campaign invites people across the country to create paper dolls with little messages of solidarity, which the coalition will deliver to members of Congress. He is Tsuru's Executive Director Mike Ishii, reflecting on the thinking behind this work. Mike Ishii: We have to recognize that great violence has taken place between people and between our groups. But the only way we're going to reconcile this and actually transform it is if we try to repair it in a [00:34:00] transformative way. You know, part of the work that we're doing right now, in the National Coalition to End Family and Child Detention is a campaign that we call free families. And here's what it does, it recognizes that we are trying to free the families who are inside detention. Uh, you know, Liam Ramos, right? The five-year-old with the bunny backpack who was put in Dilley. He's the face of 3,800 children detained in the last year by the Trump administration. It's probably much higher than that because they don't actually report truthfully, the statistics  That really moved people when they saw Liam's face. But what we're trying to do is have it, his story, be connected to a greater story about families and children, because what we know in our own research. And when we look at the voting patterns and why people voted for the Trump administration in the last election, what we see is really angry. People who feel left behind um, well, the system has left behind people. [00:35:00] Healthcare. Food stamps prenatal care, Medicare education, you name it. Housing, all of the things that affect working people who are struggling more and more as prices go up in this country. As the future starts to narrow and people don't see an open feature for themselves but this 1% is getting more and more enriched by the policies. And the violence that they're enacting on communities. And so the Free Families Campaign is really a campaign not just for immigrant to free immigrant families and children. It's really to recenter the the importance and the sAACREdness of families and to organize families across the country for their common purpose, their common good. I was a part of a study and, advisory council that did research about how do we change the narrative on child and family detention nationally. What we found is that the majority of the country holds a value of the sAACREd. Importance of protecting children and the [00:36:00] sanctity of the family. And when we organize and get people into conversation about that, about their own families and about their own children and what it's like to try to survive in this time, what we realize is that there's this great common denominator of parents actually who are struggling in a system that's leaving people behind everywhere, We think that's where the future of movement and solidarity work needs to go. It's about kitchen table issues. It's about opening a future for the next generation. if you look at the, research and sort of the feedback that you hear from younger generations about their future, it's really bleak. What they say, what they're sharing is that they feel betrayed by the adults. Who are leaving them a world full of climate crisis and war and lack of opportunity, lack of rights. And so the organizing work that we're involved in right now, you say, oh, it's immigrant rights work, it's anti detention work. It's actually about revising the [00:37:00] future for really our whole society. As things fall and burn, it's the old order. It's so based in your rationality that it's collapsing and on some level you can't stop it from falling. And so our work in this moment is to get people out of the way. And save as many people as this system collapses. And then to vision the new system that actually is the beloved community that does provide equity, for all people that has been denied to so many of our communities. And what's important in that work, along with the organizing and the intervention work against state violence, is the work around repair and healing. We're part of, a national cohort that's been, um, sort of think tanking and doing work and sharing, across our organizations, our methods and trying to help develop new templates, new forms of how to take healing and repair, especially around multi-generational trauma. And to share it broadly so that people are resourced and have more [00:38:00] access to the skillset and the tools for healing multi-generational trauma as part of regular everyday organizing in communities across the country. Miata Tan: That was Mike Ishii, Executive Director at Tsuru for Solidarity. Miata Tan: The namesake of Tsuru for Solidarity is deeply symbolic, Tsuru meaning crane in Japanese is described as a creature of transformation. A symbol of healing and repair, not only for the Japanese American community, but all communities. You are tuned into APEX Express, a weekly radio show, uplifting the voices and stories of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. You'll hear more from the Tsuru for Solidarity team after this, stay with us. Miata Tan: [00:39:00] [00:40:00] [00:41:00] That [00:42:00] was Nobody by the one and only Mitski You are tuned into APEX Express on 94.1 KPFA, a weekly radio show uplifting the voices and stories of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. I'm your host, Miata Tan. Tonight we are talking about deportation and the communities fighting back. Tsuru for Solidarity, they're a nationwide organization working to close all US detention sites and end inhumane immigration policies We're diving into the Japanese American legacy behind Soda's work and what's driving their fight against deportation. Here's their Executive Director, Mike Ishii. Mike Ishii: We actually have what. Probably more than 12 or 13,000 people at this point who are connected to us in our network. But then on the ground, boots in action, we have hundreds of people who are active and when we call on people like, we need you to come to this major action, we can get [00:43:00] thousands of people to turn out. So this has been a really beautiful evolution of community organizing. We often say. We want to be the allies that our people needed during World War II when they were removed and disappeared from the community. And so that's really our intention that guides us here. in doing so, our work is rooted in relationship building. That's really what that means. Like my mom didn't know that anyone cared about her as a 10-year-old. No one came to the fences of Minidoka. Um, nobody marched in the streets and protested. There were very few people who were fighting for her freedom. And so she didn't know, she didn't have a relationship. So our work is in building relationships within our own community. To Decolonize from white assimilationist forced assimilation policies that are multi-generational, that have positioned us to be inculcated and manipulated as part of a model minority dynamic. We are the group that was used as the poster [00:44:00] child by Ronald Reagan when you rolled out that term. Unwinding that dynamic that has a stranglehold on our community. Because this is a community that was terrified for its survival, and it was grasping for straws of survival and being wildly manipulated by the society in the aftermath of the war. We get to do that work. it's exciting for, for us to get to do that work. And actually, Rob, that's part of his job is to lean into that organizing that we're going to be launching in a fuller manner now that we're here at AACRE. We also get to really build more on what it means to be in solidarity practice. And that's the work I often to get to do with our external partners, what I call our cousins and our siblings in the movement space. And to me, it's some of the most fulfilling work I've ever gotten to do in my life because it breaks your internal isolation that comes from your historical trauma. if you. Have ever woken feeling, how do we go forward? How do we stop this? How do I ever not feel like we're fighting alone? Do this [00:45:00] work because you get daily evidence actually that you're not alone. That we can win when we fight back, and that there are people who care deeply and I get to do that work. I'm very fortunate. As part of the organization our, you know, Becca, who is our Director of organizing, is an incredible strategist and gets to think tactically with our many incredible, incredible volunteers on the ground across the country. I'm fortunate that I know some of them because I was very involved in that work early on. And all I can say is that as a result of having had a chance to be at the frontline in that kind of, deep work with our folks is that I love my people. Oh my God, I love my people. Like I'm just, so moved by the stories of people and their families and survival, and then also their courage to understand that we're a group that achieved a certain amount of privilege in the years since forced assimilation and. The [00:46:00] willingness to understand that's not really something you hold onto, that you actually want to let go of that for your own benefit, and also because it's the right thing to do in the movement toward equity. And so to get to be a part of that movement with my people. Is really a central part of our healing and to get to be a part of that in this organization at this moment, in this moment when we need to step up in, in ways that are so deeply important for the future of really the globe. Whether or not we'll go into an abyss of darkness or we're gonna transform this incredible escalated violence right now, I think we're born for this moment. I really don't think it's an accident. And if we. Each have that choice and opportunity to step into this moment and play a role there. How lucky are we to get to be born right now? So that's a little bit about how I see our role as an organization as we come into [00:47:00] AACRE and as we continue to evolve in this space.  Miata Tan : That's really beautiful. And, and thank you for tying us back into AACRE, which is the Asian Americans for Civil Rights and Equality, a network of progressive Asian American organizations uh, soon be joining. Rob, could you share what you are excited for now that Tsuru will be joining Aker and, the future work that is coming up.  Rob Buscher: Thanks for that question. You know, I think there's so many incredible organizations that are already under AACREs fiscal sponsorship, so just even in some of the preliminary meetings that we've had with other AACRE group leadership and being in conversation with people that. Oftentimes we've already known for, for many years. You know, I, Eddie Zang, um, and, and others who are, are involved peripherally, as funders are people that I've known since the film festival days. I recently learned. Kaen, who's part of the HR staff at AACRE, a filmmaker that I worked with well over a decade [00:48:00] ago on a Muslim Youth Voices Project here in Philadelphia is also part of the team. You know, just having these little connection points has been pointing us towards the direction that we're meant to be here. This feels like the right moment for Tsuru to be joining Aker. Uh, It feels like there's a lot of, , capacity and bandwidth that we haven't had under our current circumstances. But, um, really with the energy and enthusiasm of all of these groups coming together, I, I feel like we can really make an even bigger impact than we are in these programs. Um, as far as, you know, future. Ideas and, and programs that we have coming up on the horizon. we're very excited about the Kintsugi Healing Conference. Uh, as Mike has spoken about the role of healing within our work. Obviously there's a need for repairing the divides that exist within our own Japanese American community and before we can truly be in, in solidarity and, and do collective liberation work. Being able to heal those divides within our own community needs to take [00:49:00] precedent. So Kintsugi is a way of acknowledging that through this healing, resilience based conference allowing us to turn inwards and really think about the long-term effects of intergenerational trauma, how it's shaped all of our families and individual pathways, and how we can ultimately come together to heal those divides. Um, while also learning more about and training up some of our people around these ideas of collective liberation. it's gonna be taking place in San Francisco's Japan town and we're very excited about that. We'll announce the dates very shortly for October, 2026. Some of the other things that we're working on, as I mentioned earlier, we have our black reparations campaign. Tsuru has been doing this sort of work really in many ways since the beginning, but formalized during the, the summer of 2020 in the aftermath of the George Floyd Uprisings, the Black Reparations Campaign as one of the major work areas, with a number of other Japanese American organizations like New UK Progressives and the Japanese American Citizens League, San Jose Resistors. as part of [00:50:00] this national coalition to, uh, achieve redress and reparations for in solidarity with the descendants of chattel slavery. Our campaign actually had the opportunity to travel to Washington DC last May to participate in National Reparation Networks national Reparations Rally that was attended by over a hundred different, organizations that are working on this issue.  Currently. We're in the process of launching a new project called the 4 0 7 Conversations, or a 4 0 7 project. It's acknowledging that 2026 is 407 years since the beginning of chattel slavery in North America in 1619, and the goal is to have at least 407 conversations about reparations in this calendar year. So it's a way to sort of normalize the topic of reparations within not just Japanese American. community spaces, but sort of in the broader conversation about what does it mean to do reparative justice work. As we look towards the future, we're gonna be doing more [00:51:00] narrative campaign work too. We had the opportunity during the day of Remembrance to launch a, nationwide campaign that reimagined the instructions to all persons of Japanese ancestry poster that was placed in our Japan towns. That signaled the beginning of the so-called evacuation, the forced removal of our communities in our new instructions to persons of Japanese ancestry. It was an opportunity to call people in and to, uh, mobilize and activate our community in defense of the frontline communities that are facing the brunt of state violence today. So as we continue to strengthen and build We're hoping to do even more of these large scale national mobilizations. And I'm just excited that we're gonna be able to do this work together, uh, under AACREs banner. Miata Tan: That was Rob Buscher, Director of Operations at Tsuru for Solidarity. As Rob shared from aiding the movement toward black reparations to anti-ice mobilizations. The team at [00:52:00] Tsuru is gearing up for some important campaigns this year To close out, let's return to Sophie aka their Bay Area organizer. I ask Sophie what work she's most looking forward to in 2026. Sophie Sarkar: I am very excited about our, well, yeah, I'm very excited about a lot of things. I think I'm just excited about the ways in which am able to see as an organizer for Tsuru, just like Japanese American community really coming out and mobilizing and working together in coalition. I think, in this time, as we are all trying to figure out ways to dismantle this authoritarian regime and to resist it's really important for us That like we are moving beyond the kind of hierarchical structure that the regime uses and figuring out how to work in coalition and to really find our lane, find what our role is [00:53:00] as an organization, as individuals. And for me it's really exciting to see that the Japanese American community Is doing that is like really trying to work more and more in coalition and I'm excited to continue to support that. for example, we will be leading a non-cooperation training. With other JA organizations in a few months. to, yeah, really support us as a community to understand what non-cooperation looks like and how we can practice that in our various campaigns. And yeah, I see like the japantown organizations we're part of a, Nihon Machi Coalition there. Getting really serious about preparing for and when ICE comes and doing the workup. Upfront now to really train in knowing your rights and non-cooperation and security, just to get prepared as a collective. This year we're also, Tsuru is also organizing our healing justice [00:54:00] conference in the Bay Area called Kintsugi, that will take place in the fall. As part of that we hope to have a day of direct action. So I'm really excited to have the opportunity to kind of bring together our healing justice work, our healing arts work, and our direct action just integrating the three of those. And hopefully planning a really beautiful and healing and powerful action for us all to take together. Miata Tan: That's really lovely. you've mentioned Healing Justice a few times in your own personal background and experience with Tsuru, but also these fantastic campaigns that we are looking forward to. Could you speak a little bit about how the Japanese American community and the wider Tsuru for Solidarity Network is taking care of each other during this moment? Sophie Sarkar: Yeah, such a good question. I feel like that's something that I just notice our community is so good at [00:55:00] doing. Like, I think, you know, we really try to approach organizing from a relational perspective. So. Folks in little ways, like checking in on each other, making each other lunch. I know I had like afternoon at one of our volunteers houses the other day, just like eating lunch together and venting. But you know, it's just the little ways or like folding origami, yeah, I think on that kind of level, relational level of just checking in and remembering that we are human and really need that kind of connection with each other in these times, especially when it can feel really scary and isolating. Zoomed out a little bit more, you know, like our general meetings and our trainings and those kinds of larger gathering opportunities are just a really nice way. Also, we always have a potluck dinner and feed each other. Like, it's just a really nice way to Offer that kind of care and nourishment to one [00:56:00] another and connect as well. Miata Tan: Love that. It's Always great to gather over food.  Sophie Sarkar: always. Miata Tan: That was Sophie Sarkar the Bay Area organizer at Tsuru for Solidarity, reflecting on her communities and how they're taking care of each other during this time.

Få har startet like mange diskusjoner det siste året som Martin Bech Holte. Boka Landet som ble for riktble en sensasjon da den kom tidlig i 2025, og skapte en større debatt om offentlig sløsing og ineffektivt byråkrati. Boka sparket oppover mot både politikere og forskningsfeltet, og talte imot den brede konsensus om vekst-landet Norge. Siden da har den blitt holdt frem som en av årets viktigste bøker, men den har også blitt møtt med motstand fra politikere og fagfolk.I oppfølgeren Alternativt statsbudsjett bygger Bech Holte ut de sentrale argumentene i Landet som ble for rikt og legger frem noen forslag til håndfaste løsninger som skal sikre Norge en økonomisk bærekraftig fremtid. Med et klart språk tilgjengeliggjør og forklarer Bech Holte avgjørende problemstillinger for samfunnsøkonomien og dagens Norge. Hvordan skal velferdsstaten klare seg uten oljefondet i ryggen? Hvem skal staten tjene, og hva slags Norge vil vi ha?Martin Bech Holte er samfunnsøkonom og tidligere bedriftsleder, blant annet for McKinsey & Co. Norge, og har vært direktør i Aker. Med Landet som ble for rikt og Alternativt statsbudsjett har han etablert seg som en sentral figur i den offentlige debatten om forholdene mellom stat, borger og næringsliv.En som har lest Bech Holte med interesse, er økonomihistoriker og ansvarlig redaktør i Minerva, Nils August Andresen. Nå møtes de til samtale om den økonomiske hengemyra – og veien ut av den. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the Fundraising Everywhere podcast, host Simon Scriver sits down with Georgia Aker, Head of Events at Spinal Research and Fundraising Everywhere member, to unpack one of the most impressive events fundraising growth stories we've heard. When Georgia joined Spinal Research post-COVID, the charity was bringing in around £100,000 annually from events. Fast forward to 2025, and they've raised £630,000—a 6x increase in just a few years. But here's the twist: they achieved this growth while losing over half their London Marathon places (from 170 down to 80) due to ballot changes. In this conversation, Georgia shares: - How they used "zero-risk" event partnerships to expand their portfolio without upfront costs - The game-changing impact of introducing first fundraising targets (which added £100K in year two alone) - Their approach to converting cold event participants into long-term supporters - Practical tips on Meta advertising, relationship building, and managing a lean events team - How they're making events more accessible across all budgets and fitness levels Want to dive deeper into events fundraising strategies?

Jerusalemite designer Lameice Abu Aker creates at the intersection of emotional resonance and cultural memory, exploring how form, color, and material embody the poetry of domestic rituals. Now based between Jerusalem and Milan, where she earned her Master's in Furniture Design from Politecnico di Milano, her work fuses Mediterranean nostalgia with sculptural whimsy.In 2021, she founded Ornamental by Lameice, a studio dedicated to glassware that blurs the line between sculpture and tableware. Collaborating closely with a family of artisans in the Palestinian village of Jaba', where glassblowing is a centuries-old tradition, Lameice introduced an unprecedented palette of pastel hues and whimsical designs as an entirely new chromatic language within their heritage of earth and fire.Each piece is shaped without molds or mechanical constraint, allowing the molten glass to reveal its own peculiar grace. The artisan's breath lingers in every curve; light, once captured, seems reluctant to leave.Drawn to the table as a stage for life's theatre, Lameice designs vessels that hold moments of dates, spirited debates, and family stories in awkward elegance, unexpected colors, and playful forms that carry optimism, intimacy, and the sense that the object might be a character of its own.Her collections Dreamlike, Eye Candy, and Teta Edition have been exhibited internationally from Paris and London to New York, Singapore and Monaco, each piece a small ambassador of whimsy, heritage, and light.Support the showThank you for listening!

Magnificent 8 utgjør nå rundt en fjerdedel av verdensindeksen, AI nevnes i alle sammenhenger – og stadig flere spør om vi er inne i en AI-boble, eller ser vi et rasjonelt marked som priser inn fremtidens inntjening? Anders Johansen og Eirik Torsnes Kveldro ser nærmere på hva AI betyr for finansmarkedene, bobletendenser i USA, rollen til passiv forvaltning og indeksfond – og hvorfor Nvidia og de andre gigantene kan oppleves dyre, men likevel være rasjonelle investeringer.Underveis er de innom japanske renter, inflasjon i Norge, Elon Musks lønnspakke og Trumps linje for Ukraina, før de avslutter med Aker ASA sin datasentersatsing i Nord-Norge. Sammen med gjest og porteføljeforvalter Håkon Hjelstuen diskuterer de hvorfor hyperscalere som Microsoft, Nvidia og OpenAI jakter norsk kraft – og hvordan dette kan gjøre Aker til en viktig brikke i den globale AI-infrastrukturen.Podcasten er et markedsføringsmateriale fra Danske Bank.

Milliardærer barker sammen i retten, ny bok om kronprinsessens sønn skaper debatt og er aldersgrensen på sosiale medier en god idé? I denne episoden får du siste nytt fra jussens verden – oktober spesial! Gjestene er Sindre Granly Meldalen (Presseforbundet) og Merete Smith (Advokatforeningen) Månedens rettssak: Milliardærene Christian Sveaas og Kjell Inge Røkke barker sammen i retten. Ble minoritetsaksjonærer i Solstad Offshore forfordelt på ulovlig vis og truet og presset Aker frem en avtale, eller var det bare vanlig tøff forhandlerteknikk? Og kan denne saken få betydning ut over for milliardærene som krangler i den konkrete tvisten? Denne saken krydres også av lydopptak – og spørsmålet om tilgangen til ett av disse gikk helt til retten i Høyesterett i HR-2025-1945-A – hva gikk den saken ut på? Månedens lovforslag: Regjeringen la før sommeren frem et forslag til lov om aldersgrenser på sosiale medier. Hvorfor skaper det så mye debatt? Vi forklarer og diskuterer! (Lovforslaget og høringssvar kan leses her) Månedens juss-snakkis: Boken Hvite striper, sorte får har skapt debatt og fått kritikk. Vi tar debatten om debatten. I morgen kommer en liten Halloween-spesial med skremmende juss! Neste uke kommer Inga Strümke og Bjørn Erik Thon i Jusspodden. De svarer også hva de tenker om aldersgrenser på sosiale medier – i tillegg til å diskutere mange andre spennende temaer. Uken etter det kommer Merete og Sindre tilbake for å fortelle om en viktig Høyesterettsdom fra oktober. Jusspodden sponses av Lovdata. Lenker over leder til Lovdatas åpne sider.

Kjell Inge Røkke kalles både «løve» og «tiger» og veldig mye annet i rettssalen. Rettssaken Kistefos har anlagt mot Aker er inne i sin andre uke. Den første uken bød på et interessant innsyn i hvordan næringslivsaktører snakker når de ikke tror samtalen blir offentliggjort.Det snakker vi om i ukens episode av Finansredaksjonen. Vi som har vært finansjournalister i noen år, har jo hørt hvor kjedelig næringslivsfolk kan formulerer seg når de snakker med pressen. De forklarer avganger, underskudd, uenigheter med så polert og politisk korrekt språk at det er til å få fnatt av. Særlig når vi skjønner at under overflaten så bobler det konflikter. MEN – i rettssaken mellom Aker og Kistefoss som startet forrige uke, så blir det avspilt en rekke opptak som tar oss med under overflaten.Siden det er Kistefos som har hovedrollen de første ukene i rettssalen, spilles det av opptak som belyser hvor sterkt Aker presset Solstad og Pareto Securities til å få gjennom deres løsning. Akers kommunikasjonsdirektør Atle Kigen sier lydopptakene «er ute av kontekst». Kanskje vi får resten av «konteksten» når det er Akers tur å ta regi i rettsalen. Finansredaksjonen lover å komme tilbake med en ny episode om den spektakulære rettssaken da. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Det snakker vi om i ukens episode av Finansredaksjonen, en podkast som lages av oss i DN.– Dette er en suppe, sier børskommentator Thor Christian Jensen om konflikten mellom Røkkes Aker og Christen Sveaas' Kistefos som nå skal brettes ut i en 13 uker lang rettssak.

A year ago, we lived the September of our dreams.Jaspa on the run, Joe's goal from the boundary, Motty's mark in the middle, Cal's goal to put us ahead, Cam Rayner sealing it on the left, and Hippy's Aker tribute in the big dance - they are all the stuff of legend, and memories each of us will treasure for the rest of our lives.Now, twelve months on, it's time to write some more folklore. This Friday night, the premiership defence gets underway, with an enormous qualifying final against Geelong making up the first part of the climb back to the summit. We preview the fourth match-up against the Cats in September in the last five years, and with them holding a 2-1 record, we're hoping to even the ledger.Also this week:-Dom celebrates Zac Bailey's All Australian selection (extensively)-Could Jordan Ridley get to Brisbane in the trade period? -Who is subbing in for Mike at the watch party?And much more!

Vi kjenner ham som Fenriken fra Kompani Lauritzen, men Geir Aker er så mye mer enn det.I over ti år har han utdannet nye ledere i forsvaret, og i det sivile er han instruktør, veileder og foredragsholder, og forfatter. Han er lidenskapelig opptatt av ledelse, og hans fanesak er tydelighet. Hva sier han om å være tydelig uten å krenke? Hvorfor er mental beredskap så viktig?

  Many of our trout waters run through agricultural areas. We need food and clean water and we'd like to fish for trout in these waters, but sometimes these things don't play well together.  It's when all user groups get together and come up with solutions that we have the best of both worlds. Cameron Aker [39:29] is the Outreach Coordinator for the Driftless Region of Iowa, and in this week's podcast he tells us how farmers, landowners, Trout Unlimited, and various government agencies have worked together to manage the land for food production while protecting sensitive coldwater fisheries. You'll learn how they do this, who funds the work, and how you can look into starting a similar initiative in your area.   In the Fly Box this week, we have the usual roundup of basic questions, good tips, and more advanced questions, including: How do I know when it's appropriate to use resin instead of head cement? I am very new to fly fishing and want to keep my initial fly selection simple. Do you think that's a good idea? Is it a good idea to tie a sacrificial mono loop at the end of my fly line to preserve the loop? What size dry flies do you use in the East for dry/dropper rigs? Are there more "vintage" Orvis reels that you still use? Are there notable distinctions between the various kinds of dubbing? I saw a single caddisfly on the snow recently.  Is this unusual? I had something snap my 12-pound fluorocarbon tippet in a clean break while fishing in salt water. What could have caused this? What do you keep on your fly tying desk, other than the typical tools and materials? What should I bring for a traveling fly-tying kit? Great tips from a listener on how to lessen backache when tying flies. How do you target cold, high rivers?

LESA AKER IS a self-taught artist hailing from the beautiful rolling hills of southern Kentucky near Somerset.

"Think Pachanga Boys' Time…but with soul." The register chimed loudly. He glanced up at the queue of customers steadily gathering and took a deep breath. It was going to be a long hot day. The shop was small and crowded, outside in the street it was scorching, the block was on fire in the midst of the summer and everyone and everything was looking for relief. He would be their answer… He wasn't sure how it had come to be this way, that he was the one to serve. Yet here he was… From time to time he'd have to check himself, check anything, check something. Then the chime would ring out again… The made ace, insanely brilliant Brian d'Souza aka Auntie Flo, releases ‘Aker The Lion God' on 31st October, a precursor to his upcoming album ‘In My Dreams (I'm A Bird and I'm Free)', out on 21 November.  PRE-SAVE ALBUM ~ Inspired by field recordings from New Zealand and Brazil, the environmental sounds of a conch shell and a bassline influenced by Charanjit Singh's proto-acid house work is worked into some altogether more ethereal.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Aker on AITB for a captivating conversation. We delved into his roots on the East Coast and his journey to the Bay Area, which he's called home for decades.

About Teresa Aker:Teresa Aker is a huge proponent of helping others achieve their goals and dreams. Through multi-level marketing with Avon, she had the opportunity to help a team of amazing representatives learn how to sell, become a wonderful group of friends, and grow their businesses to whatever their individual goals were. Teresa achieved the highest award, The President's Council Award in Sales, and reached the rank of Executive Unit Leader in Leadership, both placing her at the top of the Leader Board.Prior to that, Teresa was a top seller in real estate during a time when interest rates were so high that people had a very hard time making ends meet, let alone buying a house. She listened to seasoned agents who had been through tough times before and learned how to help her clients buy their homes.Because Teresa stood for an elected position in politics, she was able to experience the grassroots of her community and the way cities are run—at least the one she lives in. She was thrilled to meet so many amazing people in her community during that time and to learn from their struggles.In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Teresa Aker discuss:Transitioning to direct sales from diverse backgroundsEmotional and professional growth in multilevel marketingKey leadership strategies for building and nurturing a teamThe significant 'whys' behind team members' motivationsThe double-edged nature of earning and using incentive rewardsKey Takeaways:By embracing the shift from selling real estate and industrial glue to flourishing in the Avon environment, the potential for success in direct sales is seen.It is crucial to understand and support the individual goals of team members, which in turn fosters trust and strengthens the team. Teresa and Jennie highlight the often-overlooked personal benefits that come with earning incentives. Addressing one's confidence and combating imposter syndrome is portrayed as vital in the journey toward success in network marketing, as seen in the story of Laurie's growth.Beyond current experiences in direct sales, the journey of continuous learning such as adapting to emerging trends like AI and reading self-development books like 'Think and Grow Rich' illustrates the necessity of ongoing personal and professional growth to stay ahead in the game."I'm so happy to say my life has really been a journey of helping other people. Whether it be building confidence on the inside or the outside, it really has been a journey of helping… I can't imagine ever leaving it now.” — Teresa AkerConnect with Teresa Aker:  Facebook Name: Facebook.com/teresa.aker/11Facebook Business Page: Facebook.com/groups/848944900283159Facebook Group Name: Facebook.com/groups/848944900283159Connect With Jennie:Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/Email:  jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.comFacebook personal page: https://facebook.com/jbellingerPLFacebook podcast page: http://facebook.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryFacebook group for Badass Crew: https://facebook.com/groups/BadassDirectSalesMomsInstagram: https://instagram.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryPersonal Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenniebellingerLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/BadassDirectSalesMasteryShow Notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Marsha Acker, the CEO of Team Catapult and the author of "Builder Model for Leading Change," shares her insights on the essential elements of leadership and personal growth in a recent podcast episode. With an engaging and thoughtful dialogue, Aker discusses the significance of empathy, self-awareness, and structured self-reflection in fostering positive changes both in personal life and within organizations.Understanding Happiness and LeadershipFor Acker, happiness comprises simple yet profound elements: a warm cup of coffee, a beautiful sunrise, and a serene blue waterscape. Her definition extends into her professional philosophy, where happiness influences leadership styles and organizational change. Acker emphasizes the importance of understanding personal and behavioral models as foundational aspects of effective leadership. She advocates for leaders to develop a consistent self-awareness that informs their interactions and decision-making processes.Empathy in LeadershipThe role of empathy stands out prominently in Acker's discussion. She highlights how the current lack of empathy in many professional and social interactions can hinder meaningful communication and progress. Acker's approach involves recognizing differences and finding ways to empathically engage with others, especially in challenging workplace dynamics.Dealing with Change and Setting BoundariesNavigating change is a central theme of Acker's book and her professional coaching practices. She introduces concepts from David Kerr's structural dynamics theory, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a "center of gravity" through one's leadership model, behavior, and life philosophy. Acker encourages leaders to establish clear personal boundaries to prevent work from overwhelming other aspects of life. She stresses the significance of starting each day with intention and space, allowing for a more controlled and positive impact on daily activities.Tactics for New and Established LeadersAcker provides practical advice for both new and established leaders. She suggests the use of journaling to reflect on interactions and experiences to better understand personal reactions and the dynamics of high-stakes situations. By recognizing when stakes are rising, leaders can more effectively manage their responses and engage in more constructive dialogues.Acker also touched upon the importance of navigating high-stakes situations without escalating tensions. She advises leaders to ask reflective questions and encourage open dialogue to better understand and address underlying issues in high-pressure scenarios.Final Thoughts and ResourcesMarsha Acker's insights offer a roadmap for leaders aiming to enhance their efficacy through self-awareness, empathy, and proactive change management. Her strategies are designed to help leaders foster environments where creativity, productivity, and positivity are at the forefront. For those interested in deeper exploration, Acker's book and the additional resources at Team Catapult provide valuable guidance for personal and professional growth.Through her work, Acker demonstrates a profound understanding of the complexities of leadership and the transformative power of adopting a model that values empathy, clarity, and personal integrity.Enjoy the episode above or watch the video below.

Today's guest is Sahar Elhodiri Aker, founder of the ichoosebeauty project, an initiative that has helped her heal from depression, a message she works to share with others. For 10 years, she's been taking pictures of life's beauty and posting them on Instagram, using the ichoosebeauty hashtag. She didn't miss a single day for 3,000 posts in a row! This practice became the vehicle she used to find joy and meaning in her life again, and lift herself out of the darkness. #ichoosebeauty has since morphed into a 30-day challenge to guide others on their own happiness journeys, and is recognized by Mental Health America as a DIY tool to improve mental health. She is now on a mission to uplift as many people as she can. She also has an e-commerce shop where she turned the healing words from her therapy notes into mantra designs on apparel, mugs, and more to comfort, inspire, and empower those going through a difficult time in their lives. In our conversation, we discuss: Why the little moments of our day are what make up a happy life How she defines happiness, and what it is something to create, not something that happens to you How social media has been a positive platform in her life, and why she thinks it can be used to improve mental health, rather than the other way around The other tools in her wellness tool kit she turns to on a daily and weekly basis How she reframes negative thinking and why she considers this work The power of resilience, and how she has become stronger as a result of her mental health struggles Resources: Gratisfied Healthified Online Magazine Instagram: @gratisfied @healthified Empower Bar Baking Mix  NEW Gratisfied Bars!

Today I am sharing what is easily my favorite conversation, with the incredible activist, actress, and singer, Yasmine Aker. I have been following the uprising and protests in Iran since the murder of Mahasa Amini a little over a month prior to the airing of this episode. The Iranian women, youth, and LGBTQ+ community are risking their lives for a chance at the liberties and freedoms that we have today. The freedoms these courageous people are fighting for are similar in many ways to the freedoms currently attempting to be stripped from Americans.  To help amplify the voices of these incredibly brave women and because this is not either of our cultures, we are here to support Yasmine's voice and the story of the Iranian Women's Rights Movement that is happening right now.  To learn more about Yasmine, please visit her Instagram page @iamyasmi Here are some accounts on Instagram, people can follow and amplify: @middleEastmatters    @sarahrmni   @golFarahani   @ranarahimpour_bbc   @collectiveforblackiranians @from___iran   @1500tasvir    Due to Sanctions its not possible to send any funds to Iran, but here are some fundraisers working for progress in Iran:  This is the GoFundMe fundraiser seeking to accelerate and prolong global visibility and coverage through billboards/mainstream media outlets: www.gofundme.com/f/FreeIranCallForMedia  People can also donate to the Tor Project to help restore the internet in Iran: www.torproject.org  People can share their VPN with Snowflake -- https://snowflake.torproject.org/ or Tooseh app www.tooseh.org  List of resources and petitions:   https://freeirancalltoaction.com/  www.iranhumanrights.org Demand that the United Nations urgently create an international mechanism to hold the Iranian Authorities accountable 1-212-963-7160 Call the United Nations Women's Department 1-646-781-4400  Thanks to today's sponsors, OneSkin and Ritual!   OneSkin is the world's first skin longevity company.
