A response to the countless human and non-human lives that intersect with and impact on our own.Written during the first, weird summer months of the pandemic, the piece  blossomed into a collaboration commissioned by Manchester Film festival. Directed by Aoife McArdle, it features Max's friend and long time collaborator Cillian Murphy as Unreal Time's ‘everyman' as well as an incredible score by Aaron & Bryce Dessner and Jon Hopkins. Part One - available from Friday - Wasteful writing, hardcore forgiveness & confessional booths.As with all the best Rambles the conversation soon went elsewhere. Part Two - Bank Holiday Monday - prison writing groups, embroided life jackets & visiting the West bank with Palfest. ‘Strange and Beautiful.'  The Guardian Books mentioned in conversation The Gift - Lewis Hyde Essayism - Brian DillonOn Forgiveness - Richard Holloway Is A River Alive? - Robert MacfarlaneWe Need New Stories - Nesrine Malik@fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

In this podcast we speak to Aoife McArdle, an Innovation & Disruption Expert. Aoife was an early leader in the most disruptive industries the world has seen in the last 20 years. She was a key initiator and driver of rapid growth at Airbnb (travel and hospitality), Skype (telecommunications) and Apple (music, e-commerce).  Aoife shares her personal stories as a host on Airbnb before she began working there and how the company's mission and values won her over. It's hard to think of a more quintessential story in disruption than Airbnb — the global platform that changed the way we think about staying in other people's homes, which disrupted an incumbent industry. It pivoted and thrived during the pandemic and floated 3 years ago with a market cap of over $80bn.  At Airbnb, Aoife pioneered and expanded regulations for home sharing and spearheaded cross-functional efforts that resulted in the implementation of some of the first ever home-sharing laws in the world. She shares some remarkable anecdotes with our listeners and describes some unforeseen experiences in meetings she had with city officials who were concerned with how Airbnb would change the local tourism scene.  After 4 years as General Counsel EMEA, Aoife became a founding leader of Airbnb's Experiences business, leading Business Affairs, Social Impact and Diversity & Inclusion. She also initiated, led and closed Airbnb's largest global partnership, a 10-year landmark deal with the International Olympic Committee, which will drive economic empowerment opportunities for millions of hosts, athletes and local communities during the next 4 Olympic and Paralympic Games.  She is an expert at navigating complex policy and risk for disruptive companies that are expanding globally and will share her take on what companies need to consider when they have to make difficult trade-offs between scale and risk. Aoife previously worked as European Legal Counsel at Apple and as Global Head of Commercial & Regulatory Affairs at Skype. During her time at Apple and at Skype, Aoife also saw huge growth and scale in her role including the launch of the iPod and the first partnership that enabled Skype on mobile.  Aoife is an Advisor and Board Member in the USA and Europe, as well as an angel investor. She coaches entrepreneurs and founders, prioritizing female and minority founded companies.

Innovation is arguably the holy grail for business success. It fuels new and increased market share, profits, and brand value. And, ultimately, it is the pathway to industry leadership and legacy. “Disruptive innovation” is a term coined by Harvard Business School professor, Clayton Christenson, in the 90's. It describes a process by which entrepreneurs break the low end or new market and create business models that are different from existing ones in those markets, thereby disrupting the status quo and, usually, driving change in the market sector and beyond.In this episode of Brand & New we will zoom in on the idea of disruptive innovation, what it means, how it translates into intellectual property, how brand professionals can support and even advance it, the right corporate culture to foster it, and what disruption may look like in the near future. We also look at these topics against the backdrop of recent and rapid developments in artificial intelligence. Our guest, Aoife McArdle, has a storied career in this space, exemplified with experiences at the forefront of many disruptive innovators, including at Airbnb, Apple, and Skype. A law and business development expert by training, Ms. McArdle is a strategic thinker who has been a key initiator and driver in the rapid growth of many startups and well-established companies. Ms. McArdle occupied prominent legal leadership roles in major international tech companies. This includes five years as European legal counsel at Apple, more than five years at Skype as their global head of commercial and regulatory affairs. As a founding leader of Airbnb's Experiences business, she led their business affairs unit and their work in the areas on social impact and diversity and inclusion. In this role, she initiated and led a 10-year global partnership deal with the International Olympic Committee, the largest such deal for the company. With her broad experience navigating complex regulatory and policy environments for companies expanding globally, Ms. McArdle has become a sought-after innovation and disruption expert.Brand & New is a production of the International Trademark AssociationHosted by Audrey Dauvet - Contribution of M.

Este episodio de En serie empieza lento y se va poniendo mejor, como Severance, la serie de la que hablamos hoy. Creada por Dan Erickson y dirigida por Ben Stiller y Aoife McArdle, Severance es una serie difícil de encasillar: es algo así como una mezcla entre Black Mirror, Lost, Matrix, El eterno resplandor de una mente sin recuerdos y The Office. Un poco de sci-fi, un poco de drama, un poco de humor negro, un poco de misterio, un poco de thriller psicológico y una estética tan cuidada que vale la pena verla solo por eso. Severance nos muestra la vida de cuatro empleados de Lumon Industries (o tal vez deberíamos decir “las dos vidas” de estos empleados: la vida que tienen dentro de la oficina y la que tienen afuera). Lumon Industries practica algo que llaman “severance” con sus empleados. Esto quiere decir que, cuando los contrata, les implanta un chip en el cerebro que divide sus recuerdos laborales de sus recuerdos no-laborales. O sea: cuando están en la oficina no tienen idea de quiénes son ni qué hacen fuera de su trabajo, y cuando están afuera no tienen idea de qué hacen en su trabajo ni a quién conocen ahí adentro. Y, cuando entra una empleada nueva, todo se descalabra. Como siempre, analizamos qué podemos aprender acerca de escritura y de la vida mirando Severance, y hablamos de su estética, de la importancia de los detalles, del ritmo, de la premisa y, sobre todo, de identidad. ¿Quiénes somos sin una parte de nuestros recuerdos? - Severance está disponible en AppleTV y en Stremio. Podés escuchar En serie en Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts y más (lo encontrás en el canal de Mientras no escribo). Si querés sumarte a nuestros talleres y propuestas, tenés toda la info en www.mientrasnoescribo.com

My guest this week is Aoife McArdle, a filmmaker from Northern Ireland who you may know from her recent stint as a co-director and producer on Apple TV's Emmy-nominated series Severance.  Severance depicts a world in which people can choose to surgically divide their work and personal lives, so neither selves have any idea who they are outside of those realms. It stars Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro and Christopher Walken and it recently secured 14 Emmy Award nominations, including the first Outstanding Drama Series for Apple TV. It's truly an exceptional show, so inventive and cohesive and the storytelling is just chef's kiss. The final episode, which I won't spoil, is on another level. And so I was thrilled to speak to Aoife on the basis of that alone, but then I discovered her extensive background in directing music videos for artists like Bloc Party, Jon Hopkins, James Vincent McMorrow, Anna Calvi and U2. Her direction is consistently gorgeous and her eye for visuals outstanding. In 2017 Aoife directed her first feature Kissing Candice, about a 17-year-old girl who desperately wants to escape her small seaside town and finds solace in her imagination. More recently she directed a short film starring Cillian Murphy called All This Unreal Time, an immersive sort-of performance piece written by Max Porter - a preternaturally gifted writer - that explores themes of repentance, masculinity and environmentalism. Description of any sort won't do it justice, so I urge you to click the link in the show notes and give it a watch. We talk about how Aoife discovered filmmaking was a career and how she began to pave her way into it, her creative process when directing music videos, the learning curve that was her directorial debut, adapting to the environments you're shooting in and working with what's available, and of course, her experience on Severance, working with a very talented ensemble cast and in tandem with Ben Stiller and what she's working on now…

If you ask most people which television series from 2022 was the breakout new show of the year, they will probably say Dan Erickson's "Severance." Sean one premiered on AppleTV+ on February 18th with the week-to-week episodes directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle. It received critical acclaim for its writing, performances by the ensemble, and immersion into its world and concept. Many talented people worked on this show to bring it to life, and we're proud to showcase their work in this series of podcast interviews. For your consideration this Emmy season, we have Composer Theodore Shapiro, Production Designers Jeremy Hindle, Nick Francone & Cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné, all of whom helped to make the show as memorable as it's been. We hope you enjoy these interviews in our special behind-the-scenes look at one of 2022's best shows. Thank you! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
