Sean Mullin is an award-winning filmmaker.  His critically-acclaimed feature film debut as a writer/director — Amira & Sam — won the top prize at numerous festivals and was distributed theatrically by Drafthouse Films. He's the co-writer/co-producer of the film, Semper Fi – alongside Oscar-nominated director Henry-Alex Rubin (Murderball) and Oscar-nominated producer David Lancaster (Whiplash).  Lionsgate released the film theatrically in 2019. He's the writer/director of a feature-length documentary – Kings of Beer – about the world's most intense brewmaster competition, which was released theatrically in 2019.  He's the writer/director of It Ain't Over - a feature-length documentary about baseball legend, Yogi Berra – which will be released in 2022.Prior to his filmmaking career, Sean served in the military. He was stationed in Germany as an army officer, but finished his time as a Captain in the New York Army National Guard – where he was a first responder on September 11th, 2001. For several months, he spent his days working as the Officer in Charge of the soldiers stationed at Ground Zero – and his nights performing stand-up comedy.Sean holds an MFA from Columbia University and a B.S. from The United States Military Academy at West Point. He is a member of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), as well as the Producers Guild of America (PGA).  Sean is represented by UTA. He resides in Los Angeles, where he runs Five By Eight Productions and is a guest lecturer at USC, AFI and West Point.Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra is one of baseball's greatest. He amassed ten World Series rings, 3 MVP awards and 18 All-Star Game appearances. He caught the only perfect game in World Series history. Yet for many his deserved stature was overshadowed by his simply being himself and being more recognized more for his unique personality, TV commercial appearances and unforgettable “Yogi-isms,” initially head-scratching philosophical nuggets that make a lot more sense the more you think about them. In telling the whole story, It Ain't Over gives Berra his due in following the life of a savvy, commanding, bad-ball hitting catcher with a squat frame but also a D-Day veteran, loving husband and father and, yes, product endorser and originator (mostly) of his own brand of proverbs now ingrained into everyday life.Granddaughter Lindsay Berra tells his story along with his sons, former Yankee teammates, players he managed, writers, broadcasters, and admirers (such as Billy Crystal), plus photos and footage on and off the diamond. Berra famously said,“I'd be pretty dumb if I started being something I'm not,”and It Ain't Over lovingly makes clear he stayed who he was for the benefit of baseball and everyone else.

Episode Summary: Are you ready to integrate a values-based component into your corporate ethos? It's a big commitment, but one with tremendous ROI at every level. On this episode of Building Better Cultures, Scott talks with Sandy Cross, CPO in the Professional Golf Association of America (PGA).     But for it to work, the effort must be for real. Without buy-in from top leadership – a deep understanding and commitment to sustained change – don't bother, says Sandy. The PGA's working group based its program on feedback from up and down the organization, and leaders have deployed it without equivocation. Learn what elements are key to upping your DEI game and how your workplace culture's frame of mind benefits when a clearly articulated corporate values set is kept front of mind.     Key Takeaways  Mission-driven to values-based: The PGA culture embraced its mission deeply but Sandy advocated for more attention to the “how” of executing that agenda.     The PGA developed a playbook to support four people-centered pillar values – each of which includes visible, observable behaviours:   Have each other's back.  Practice gratitude. Get better every day. Start with clarity. Sandy's initiatives have bolstered retention by fostering the flexible, culturally connected hybrid workplace that Millennials (especially) demand.   The PGA used a bottom-up approach to define values, based on the outcome of a working group of nine employees selected by peers.     Keeping It Real: Sandy's values-driven agenda emphasizes measurable, behaviors and actions. Having well-defined values gives a chance for difficult conversations because they provide a shared language, foundation and understanding.    Committed Deployment: The PGA's approach is holistic, using values as a lens starting at the hiring process through onboarding and annual values-based (as separate from performance-based) evaluations.    Opportunity for Growth: Team members who “get it” can serve as coaches, mentoring and encouraging open communication among team members.     Watch Out for Weaponization: There can be friction because values-based culture doesn't promise that everyone gets what they want every time.    Powerful Goal-Setting: Each PGA individual on an annual basis must identify one of the shared values they intend to prioritize for improvement and articulate what success would look like. What's the desired behavior or outcome? The best first steps for organizations undertaking a “values journey”:  Talk to the leadership team. Are they ready on every level to embark on – and stay committed to – the journey?  Support and embody the mission throughout the enterprise.  The program has to be embedded across the full employee lifecycle. If it's not going to be a deep, sustained commitment, say Sandy, skip it. False starts, shallow or hollow efforts are definitively a step in the wrong direction.    About Scott  Learn more about Scott McInnes, your host and the Founder and Director of Inspiring Change, by clicking here.   About Sandy  As Chief People Officer for the PGA of American with responsibility for DEI, Sandy's career journey has been about building purpose-driven, values-based and people-centric cultures.  Learn more here:    Website: www.pga.com  Sandy @Twitter  Sandy @LinkedIn    About Workvivo  If you're struggling with communications in this time of new hybrid workplace conditions, click here to explore Workvivo, a collaboration platform that offers seamless digital integration.

As the Country Prepares for the Looming Presidential Election and Continues to Fight an Ongoing Pandemic, Take a Deep, Multifaceted Look Into the Soul of a Quintessentially American City. City So Real Ric Speaks with Oscar-Nominated Documentarian Steve James About His Critically Acclaimed Docu-Series on National Geographic. The One-Night, Five-Hour, Commercial-Free event, airs October 29th at 7pm ET/PT on National Geographic, Available Next Day on Hulu. City So Real was an official Indie Episodic selection at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival where it had its world premiere. In the five-part documentary series City So Real, documentarian Steve James (“America to Me,” “Hoop Dreams”) delivers a fascinating and complex portrait of Chicago, America’s third-largest metropolis and his longtime hometown. The series begins in the haze of mid-summer 2018 as Mayor Rahm Emanuel, embroiled in accusations of a cover-up related to the police shooting of an African American teenager, Laquan McDonald, shocks the city by announcing he won’t seek reelection. An unprecedented 21 candidates emerge in a diverse and crowded field as they engage in a no-holds-barred battle for a chance to shape the city’s uncertain future. The final episode of the series picks up a year after the mayoral election in 2020, as the city simultaneously grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread social upheaval following the death of George Floyd. An already fractured city is further divided by the economic, political and social fallout, which plays out on the city streets as police clash with protesters, bringing rise to a generational moment that promises to change the city forever. In candid interviews with residents throughout the city, the series captures Chicago’s indomitable spirit as well as its seemingly insurmountable challenges. City So Real is a gritty and loving depiction of a quintessentially American city that is at once fiercely unique and a microcosm of the nation ⎯ and our world ⎯ as a whole. Director, producer, cinematographer and editor Steve James is a two-time Academy Award nominee who has earned four Directors Guild of America (DGA) Award nominations, winning for 1994’s Hoop Dreams. That film marked his first Oscar nomination (Best Film Editing), as well as an Independent Spirit Award win, and James received his second Oscar nod (Best Documentary Feature) for 2016’s Abacus: Small Enough to Jail. The latter film was named one of the National Board of Review’s “Top 5 Documentaries of the Year” and won Best Political Documentary at the Critics’ Choice Awards. James’ other notable credits include Stevie, an Independent Spirit Award nominee and Sundance prize winner; The Interrupters, which won an Emmy, Independent Spirit Award and the duPont-Columbia Journalism Award; and the Roger Ebert biography Life Itself, named best documentary by the National Board of Review and the Producers Guild of America (PGA), as well as winning an Emmy winner for Best Editing. The director’s Starz docuseries America to Me premiered at Sundance and was one of the most acclaimed TV shows of 2018. www.citysoreal.film http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/citysoreal.mp3

In the age of #MeToo, there has been a reckoning in Hollywood about sexual harassment and that extends to the way folks are treated during productions. Intimacy coordinator and founder of Intimacy Professionals Association Amanda Blumenthal joins Tristan Taormino to talk about this growing profession in Hollywood and beyond. She tells us what intimacy coordinators do, challenges they face on set, and what their training is like. She explores power dynamics on a production, how actors sometimes don’t feel like they can’t voice their sexual boundaries to a director, and why being an advocate for them is so important. Plus, she spills the tea on modesty garments (what are they?), sexual negotiation tips, and what happens when some directors don’t want her on their set. Amanda Blumenthal is the founder of Intimacy Professionals Association which is one of the leading organizations in the world for training intimacy coordinators. Amanda was the first intimacy coordinator in Los Angeles, and has worked on hundreds of scenes involving intimacy.
