18WT 032:  Patrick interrupts to tell her that she looks fuzzy, so we time out for laughter and camera cleaning. So anyway, she says…she likes to cook and do Sunday dinners. You know when the kitchen door closes, and the pugs are in the kitchen with her and everyone else is outside. She is happy and cooking or baking. As Patrick says, Janet loves to cook, when the door closes, Janet is in her happy place. When Janet is in her happy place Patrick is nowhere to be found. Sometimes even the pugs cannot be there. He kicks them out. If he cannot be there they cannot! She insists that the pugs know their spots.  Sometimes they have company and Janet enjoys it. Sometimes she cooks brunch, sometimes it is dinner. The other day she did what Patrick and the family called “Mini-Thanksgiving.” She had a shoulder pork roast, a really nice one and as she says, you cannot just open a box of potatoes with meat that nice and call it a meal. You have to actually cook.  So, they continue and explain that if it is brunch, she usually does like pancakes, eggs, bacon (Patrick throws in, like a nine-course meal), sometimes hashbrowns or waffles. He says if he cannot get everything on one plate it is a mini-Thanksgiving (she interrupts and says he is happy) he says no Janet made too much food.Full podcast show notes available here:  https://www.18wheeltalk.com/e32Do forget to get your CoVid Shots here:  https://www.18wheeltalk.com/shotsC4 Energy - Performance energy drinks.

TARTLE is on a roll. We've had a bunch of great guests over on T-Cast of late and today is no exception. This time, Alex and Jason chat with Patrick J. McGinnis. Patrick has done a lot as a venture capitalist, the author of the book, The 10% Entrepreneur, and as a public speaker. What he is most well-known for is coining the term FOMO. For those who don't follow the latest slang terms flying around the internet, FOMO is short for the Fear of Missing Out. So, how is it that the invention of an internet slang term makes one's name known to many outside of the investment world? Because FOMO is a legitimate social phenomenon, one that has become more and more significant with the rise of social media. It began back in 2003 when the young Patrick was at Harvard, coincidentally at the same time Zuckerberg was working on Facebook. However, even though social media had yet to really take off, Harvard was full of choices and opportunities that would make one's head spin. There was so much to do, it was literally impossible to do it all. Patrick noticed the effect this was having on people, himself included and wrote the article that coined the term. Since then, it has been added to the Oxford Dictionary and become part of the common parlance of the modern world.  How does FOMO actually work? It can apply in a variety of ways. It can of course be a situation in which you see or learn of something going on and you just wish that you could do that because it seems great. A more acute experience is feeling as though you're being excluded from some kind of group experience. Patrick uses the example of the show Tiger King. It reached a…shall we say, surprising level of popularity at the beginning of COVID. How many people watched the show not because it actually sounded interesting to them, but because they just wanted to be part of the discussion? Just so they could understand the memes and the tweets? That's just one example of something that happens all the time, the herd plays a huge role in determining the interests of the individual, which in turn determines how the individual spends his time and money. You are literally handing over your individual agency to the herd.  In a certain sense, FOMO has always been a part of the human experience. As Patrick points out, back in the early days of humanity, if you were out of the information loop on the latest antelope movements, you would likely starve to death. You definitely don't want to miss out on that. What is different now is that it is virtually constant, about a variety of things, things that in themselves aren't all that important. Does it matter objectively if you are up on the latest Tiger King or Game of Thrones episode? No, there are zero existential consequences. Yet, the level of anxiety a person feels may be on par with the tribesman who missed the wildebeest update.  FOMO is also intentionally used as a marketing or motivational tool. Which of course can have good or bad results depending on the ends. But we absolutely need to develop some self-awareness about how we are being manipulated. For one, the more time we spend on social media, the more we are getting manipulated and getting fed a distorted sense of reality. There are of course tons of satirical videos making fun of this, but a real world example involves a lake in Russia. The lake itself is very beautiful and a bunch of influencers go there to take photos. You are given the impression they're chilling at a beautiful vacation spot. In reality, they are just there for the photo because if you actually go in that lake, it is so toxic that you will then be going to the hospital.  So, how to break that cycle? There isn't an easy fix. At the end of the day, it's the same as making decisions about health. Once you realize there is a problem, are you willing to take the necessary steps to deal with it? Can you come up with a plan to put the phone down and stick to it? Can you take back control, and are you willing to do so? That's something that everyone has to answer for themselves. What's your agency worth? www.tartle.co

After winning numerous regional and national go-kart titles, Danica left the Midwest at 16 years old to compete in the cutthroat world of European road racing.In 2005, Danica stunned the world by leading 19 laps and finishing fourth in her first Indianapolis 500. She became the first woman to lead laps and score a top-five finish in the historic race. In 2008, Danica made history again becoming the first woman to win a major-league open-wheel race in a North American series with her victory in the IndyCar Series Indy Japan 300 race.In 2013, as Danica transitioned to the NASCAR Cup Series, she made headlines around the world with her record-setting performance in the 55th Daytona 500 race. She became the first woman to win a NASCAR Cup Series pole when she set the fastest time in qualifying 500 and then finished in eighth place, the highest finishing position ever for a woman in the “Great American Race.”As Patrick's NASCAR Cup Series career progressed, she continued to rewrite the history books. She broke the record for most top-10 finishes of any female in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2015 and holds the new mark with a total of seven top-10s to her credit. In May 2016, Danica became a three-time winner of the Monster Energy Fan Vote for the Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race.

In addition to practicing community management as a profession, many of the listeners, guests, and even members of the team behind Community Signal, manage communities part-time. These might be communities that align with our personal passions or hobbies or communities that exist specifically to help ourselves and others grow. That is exactly the mission of Muslamic Makers. Co-founded by Arfah Farooq, who joins us for this episode, Muslamic Makers is a community of Muslim changemakers who work in the tech industry. This April marks the fifth birthday of Muslamic Makers and Arfah discusses how the community has grown during that time and how she sees it growing into the future. Muslamic Makers takes pride in offering thoughtful programming that is largely free to its community, and Arfah shares how she and her team are thoughtfully working to keep it that way. Tech companies want access to diverse communities when it comes to hiring and in exchange for sponsorship opportunities, the Muslamic Makers community offers them just that. Arfah also discusses the importance of documenting the processes that keep the community running, so that the community can continue running, whether she’s managing the day-to-day or not. It’s always refreshing to hear that the practices that keep our “professional” communities healthy and well-managed are the same practices that we should try applying to our own personal communities, too. Arfah and Patrick also discuss: Keeping a community independent, self-sustaining, and affordable to its members Adapting and enforcing your community’s Code of Conduct as you grow How the pandemic has helped the Muslamic Makers community grow beyond its roots in London This episode is the first that we’ve released since the devastating shooting that left eight people in Atlanta dead, including six Asian women. Their names were Daoyou Feng, Hyun Jung Grant, Soon Chung Park, Suncha Kim, Yong Ae Yue, and Xiaojie Tan. The other two people who were killed were Delaina Ashley Yaun and Paul Andre Michels. One man, Elcias R. Hernandez-Ortiz, was seriously injured. As a team, we’ve reflected on how our work in communities matters when it comes to stopping hate. As Patrick says in this episode, “when we educate ourselves about what anti-Asian hatred looks like and we take action against it, we are part of the solution.” Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Vanilla, a one-stop shop for online community. Big Quotes Growing Muslamic Makers into a self-sustaining community: “Where I think self-sustainability [for Muslamic Makers] comes from is sponsorships with tech companies because tech companies want access to diverse talent. They want to advertise to a diverse pool.” –@Arf_22 Our communities are bigger than our individual selves: “[When asking for money to sustain a community], speak from the heart, and let people know your intentions are right and you are just thinking about this community existing beyond yourself. [Muslamic Makers] is part of my legacy, but at the same time, especially in Islam as well, it’s the whole thing of, if I die tomorrow, this thing is going to carry on. It’s going to keep bringing goodness in the world.” –@Arf_22 How the pandemic helped the Muslamic Makers community grow beyond London: “Because we the founders were in London … [Muslamic Makers was] very London-centric. … The beauty of actually being forced online [because of the pandemic], in a sense, has meant that all our events are online, which has meant that we’ve had people dialing in from the other side of the world. That global community has definitely grown a lot.” –@Arf_22 About Arfah Farooq Arfah Farooq is a lifelong community builder, from shaping the regeneration of East London after the 2012 Olympics to building resilience in young people as a youth trustee for a charity. She accidentally co-founded a startup called Discoverables after an initial Design Council grant in 2012. This catapulted her into technology, which led her to co-found Muslamic Makers, a community for Muslims who upscale and pioneer tech in 2016. Arfah is a 2017 fellow of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust and has been awarded a prestigious fellowship exploring Muslim women in technology in the USA, UAE, and Pakistan, where she vlogged her travels and brought back her expertise to help businesses. For her day job, Arfah works in government where she managed an internal community of 1,500-plus product and delivery managers across the UK government and now leads the No.10 Innovation Fellowship program. She is also an Angel investor in startups as part of the Aida Ventures Angels program to invest in underrepresented talent.

Transcript available here on our websiteOn this week's episode Julian talks to Patrick Abrahams who started the Men's Shed in Frome. Patrick's aim in moving to the countryside was always to start a Shed, to provide a place where men could gather, and through stories, over coffees and biscuits, woodwork and plans, find connection, something which many men of post-retirement age lose after they have left work. Patrick's stories make us feel like we are part of the shed too, like we can be in on the jokes that come from treating everyone with respect and allowing them to come as they are. His tales are imbued with the camaraderie that seems to be common amongst shedders, and the pathos and depth that naturally arise in supportive communities. From building coffins for the member's (at their request), to opening up the conversation about prostate screenings and never running out of tea, the Men's Shed (and there is now a Woman's Shed and a Young Person's Shed in Frome too) embodies the ethos of collective responsibility that community can bring; a shared compassion for one and other in its most uncomplicated form. As Patrick says, compassion is more than empathy, ‘its action oriented as well' and that can just mean going to a shed, and having a conversation, and that in itself can be transformational.Patrick was nominated by Peter Macfadyen who can be heard talking on the podcast hereThings mentioned on the episode:Shed Happens PodcastMen's Shed Frome Men's Shed AssociationJenny Hartnoll twitterFrome Medical CentreCritchell SchoolBuurtzorgSource FMFrome FMASSET BASED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (ABCD) Flatpack Democracy 2021Compassionate CommunitiesJulian Abel can be found on TwitterFollow Survival of the Kindest on Twitter, Instagram and subscribe on Apple, Spotify or wherever you like to listen to get our episodes as they are released.

Patrick Woodroffe is one of the world’s foremost lighting designers. He has lit shows for stars ranging from Michael Jackson to Bob Dylan, from Lady Gaga to Elton John, as well as being creative director of the Rolling Stones live shows since 1982. As Patrick takes charge of the technical rehearsal period for The Last Domino? Tour - the sold-out arena tour that sees the remaining original Genesis band members reform for the first time since 2007 - Grammy Award-winning record producer Steve Levine joins him along with band members, Mike Rutherford and Tony Bank.

Singer Songwriter Patrick Cornell is featured on this podcast through a link up on Instagram but so glad we were able to connect because we got to talk about his musical life, influences and how he got to where he is today. During this Covid Pandemic that we are all experiences Patrick talks about music being the healing thing that will get us all through everything we are facing. With 15 years of classical and jazz training and inspiration from rock n' roll greats, the Dayton, OH native left the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music as a jazz/studio music major and moved to Los Angeles, California to start his professional music career as a studio/touring bass guitarist for hire. He performed various gigs on bass guitar with such notable artists as Dave Navarro (Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses) and Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray). Cornell eventually migrated to Nashville and has gone through a transformation from a session bass player into a full-time songwriter, producer and solo artist. Taking direction from the Nashville's songwriting community and culture, Cornell's lyrics focus on telling a complete story. He writes from a reflective perspective with the intention of his story relating to a broad audience. If you ask him why and how he's accomplished all he has, his response is simple: “It's God-given.” He argues that none of what he's accomplished has happened because of anything that he's done on his own. Still, he's done a lot. So what is he most proud of so far? “My hair,” he jokes. As Patrick focuses on the future, his goals are simple: release music and play shows. Join his email list and follow him on social media to stay updated on upcoming projects and shows. Connect with Patrick: Spotify Facebook Instagram YouTube

Many of us are like Patrick. Making a good living, have a good marriage, have a good life but that is the problem, it is just "good,." We feel like we are settling and stuck and not quite sure how to change that. As Patrick found out, once we have some simple new skills, tools and knowledge we can create the success and freedom we deserve.

As Patrick drives from Minneapolis to Milwaukee to visit his alma mater, he reflects on the things he WISHES he had known after college graduation, the things he had to learn the hard way and what post grads can do to make the best of their first year as independent adults.

In this week's podcast, Patrick talks to James Rebanks, farmer and best-selling author of The Shepherd's Life: A Tale of the Lake District (2015) and English Pastoral: An Inheritance (2020).    Starting off with James' own story - which is simultaneously traditional and quite exceptional for a Cumbrian shepherd - the conversation then turns towards the challenges faced by our food and farming systems.    The pair discuss the undeniable impact of Sir David Attenborough's new documentary and film (Extinction: The Facts and A Life on Our Planet), which both beautifully depict the core environmental issues of our time, but also raise somewhat of a question around the topic of agriculture.    As Patrick voices his concerns regarding the theme of rewilding, James highlights the more pressing need for a transition towards regenerative agriculture. Using his own experience as an example, he explains the various ways in which rewilding can in fact be seamlessly integrated into farm management: replicating, where possible, wild ecosystems, welcoming more biodiversity onto our farms, and rebuilding soil fertility.    The two agree that this transition cannot be achieved without the fundamental role of livestock: ‘If we're going to farm sustainably, with lots of biodiversity', James suggests, ‘we need to get back into that mixed rotational pattern'. The major challenge, however, is widening the public understanding of this concept. 

On Community Signal, we’ve spoken to several professionals that have left the industry for other pastures. While their reasons are never exactly the same, there’s certainly a trend amongst professionals in the industry, particularly women, who bore the brunt of online abuse. As Patrick says in this episode, “if you haven’t received abuse then you’re probably not doing everything you can for your community, that’s just a sad reality. I wish that it wasn’t the case. I wish that you could somehow maintain order without making yourself a target.” In a profession where our responsibilities include moderating conversations, deleting posts, and banning people, yes, it’s to be expected that we will make some people unhappy. But as Patrick and Kellie Parker discuss, it should also be expected that our colleagues and managers understand the realities, toll, and potential dangers of this work and plan for how to support one another through it. The mental and emotional toll of working in community management is real and something that we should all be aware of, no matter what rung of the ladder we’re on. Kellie shares exactly how the mental and emotional aspects of working in community played out for her, where there must be organizational support, and the responsibility of speaking up for our own health and wellbeing. She now speaks openly and candidly about the sexism that she faced, but back then, she admits that her initial reaction was to “be professional” and power through. For professionals that don’t have institutional support, another coworker to cover for them, or the flexibility to miss a paycheck or take a personal day, the notion of self-care in the face of abuse may not be as easy as it seems. We hope that Kellie’s experience encourages anyone listening to think about how they can better support those that they work with, from an individual perspective and an organizational perspective. Patrick and Kellie also discuss: The sexism faced by women in gaming and community management How workplaces can support community managers The “magic community wand” and how to work against it Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsors: Vanilla, a one-stop shop for online community and Localist, plan, promote, and measure events for your community. Big Quotes No matter how credible a threat is, it still impacts you (6:34): “A lot of rape threats or death threats [that I received] were not serious. I knew it was somebody that was mad because I deleted their posts or I banned them. … But there is a compounding nature over time when you get told 10 times a day, ‘I’m going to find your house. I’m going to sneak in your bedroom. I’m going to kill you.’ I know that’s not really what’s going to happen but … there is an emotional cost for that, that is often not addressed.” –Kellie Parker The toll that community management takes on professionals (14:52): “A lot of people who have not done [community management] and do not understand the job shrug their shoulders and say [abuse is] part of the job. Really, we need to be asking for support. Whether it’s access to licensed counselors, whether it’s rotation in the job. … That portion of the job is not often discussed, and it needs to be. People need to understand that they’re putting their mental health and emotional health on the line for this job.” –Kellie Parker The emotional health of your community team matters (23:08): “If you’re churning out your community person every 18 months, you should really look internally at why that would be. It can be a number of factors. It doesn’t have to be that they are taking abuse. It can be poor compensation, bad workplace environment, whatever, but if people are burning out of that role over and over again, there’s probably a greater than 50% chance that [abuse] is the reason.” –@patrickokeefe Institutional knowledge builds stronger communities (25:10): “I want the fans to see me as their inside person at the company, and I want people at the company to see me as their inside person with the fans. If you have new people in that role every six months, every year, every two years; you never get that sustained growth. You never have that institutional knowledge.” –Kellie Parker Stay adept to your team’s work (35:25): “If you’re in a role where you have to support community professionals, whether you are a director of community, VP of community, or if it just happens to fall under you, you really have to educate yourself on the stresses of this job. If you don’t, then you’re going to lose people and the people that are reporting up to you are not going to be as efficient in their jobs or as happy and satisfied in their jobs.” –@patrickokeefe When “culture fit” is used as cover for something else (42:53): “I can look around your company, and I can see there is nobody over the age of 30. When you tell me I’m not a culture fit, I know exactly what that means. I am 44 years old. I am female. I am not, by traditional beauty standards, beautiful. That’s what you mean. Especially if it’s for a community manager role where they want someone to be in front of the community and lead them. I’m not what you’re looking for, and you’ll tell me it’s culture fit.” –Kellie Parker Kellie’s career change from social media and community management to real estate (47:14): “Being a real estate agent is about relationships. It’s building relationships with people, helping people, taking care of people. That’s a lot of [what] my job [was] as a community manager and a social media manager.” –Kellie Parker About Kellie Parker After discovering chat site Talk City as a user, Kellie Parker ended up taking a job with parent company LiveWorld in 1999. This began a foray into community work that took her to PCWorld, Macworld, and SEGA, where Kellie spent more than six years. This was followed by senior social media jobs at Seasun and healthcare company, Abbott, before leaving the digital space to become a REALTOR.

I’m joined by historian and podcaster Patrick Wyman, whose “The Fall of Rome” and “Tides of History” are two of the very best historical podcasts out there, to discuss pandemic diseases in Roman history. We’re talking the Antonine Plague, the Plague of Cyprian, and the Plague of Justinian, and what they meant to the Roman Empire and (especially in the latter case) to world history in general. Later, and apropos of nothing in particular, we discuss Patrick’s recent piece for Mother Jones, “How Do You Know If You’re Living Through the Death of an Empire?”The Fall of Rome and Tides of History are both available via Wondery or wherever you get your podcasts, and I can’t recommend them enough. As Patrick notes toward the end of the interview he’s got a book coming out in the near future, so keep an eye out for that. You can find Patrick on Twitter @Patrick_Wyman. This is a public episode.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is a frequent topic of conversation on Community Signal. As Patrick puts it, if you’re a community professional in the United States, “this is the law that places the liability for speech on the author of that speech, not on you as the [community’s] host. It allows you to moderate and remove certain content while not assuming liability for what remains. I like to think of it as the legal basis for our profession in the US, and it is an important legal protection against the wealthy and powerful who would happily take down an entire online community for one post they don’t like.” Plainly, this is a law that protects our jobs, our communities, the people in those communities, and their right to have civil and safe discussions online. For this episode of Community Signal, we invited past guests to share how Section 230 has enabled them to foster community and what changing Section 230 could do to the fabric of online communities. Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Discourse. Big Quotes “At The Times, Section 230 allowed us to build a modern news operation where we could have a public back and forth with our readers; an ongoing one. It gave us the chance to respect them by setting rules for engagement and privileging those who spent the time to be thoughtful about the news. By allowing us to pre-moderate, and not be legally liable for any mistakes we may have made in that process, [that’s] really what made our community operation at The Times economically feasible.” –@BasseyE “As co-founder of a community software company, I personally rely on [Section 230’s] protection every day. If we go down the path of adding caveats and exceptions to Section 230, we risk losing it altogether. Yes, online content is messy – so is freedom, so is free speech. If we still believe in those things, we need to protect the innovators, not squash them under a burden of regulatory red tape or lawsuits.” –@rhogroupee “Yes, online communities need to be moderated and cared for and that is the precise reason why Section 230 exists, to empower moderation without creating liability. If Section 230 goes away, the main groups to benefit will not be the most vulnerable users of the internet, it will be the huge platforms uniquely possessing the resources to be compliant with whatever new regulation that they will have helped to craft.” –@losowsky “Without the protection of Section 230, a well-meaning person or organization may lose their right to maintain a clean well-lighted space for civil discussion and capitulate to every demand regardless of its merit. An organization facilitating online community may decide to close their community altogether deciding that the risk is not worth the benefit. Who really loses when we threaten the opportunities to build meaningful communities that can have a positive impact on people’s lives?” –@scottmoore About Our Guests Bruce Ableson, director of evangelism and enablement at Adobe Gail Ann Williams who consults on community conversation and craft beer, formerly of The WELL and Salon Media Group Bassey Etim, editorial director at Canopy, formerly of The New York Times Rosemary O’Neill, president of Social Strata Andrew Losowsky, head of Coral at Vox Media Scott Moore, community veteran with a focus on nonprofits Michael Wood-Lewis, co-founder and CEO of Front Porch Forum Angela Connor, founder and CEO at Change Agent Communications Related Links Sponsor: Discourse, civilized discussion for teams, customers, fans, and communities Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act on Wikipedia Law professor Eric Goldman on Community Signal The Electronic Frontier Foundation’s civil liberties director David Greene on Community Signal Patrick and Scott Moore discuss Section 230 Bruce Ableson, founder of Open Diary Gail Ann Williams, formerly of The WELL and Salon Media Group Zen kōan Bassey Etim of Canopy, formerly of The New York Times Rosemary O’Neill, co-founder of Ultimate Bulletin Board and Hoop.la Andrew Losowsky, head of Coral at VOX Media Scott Moore, a 20-year community industry veteran with a focus on nonprofit Michael Wood-Lewis, founder of Front Porch Forum Angela Connor, founder and CEO at Change Agent Communications Transcript View transcript on our website Your Thoughts If you have any thoughts on this episode that you’d like to share, please leave me a comment, send me an email or a tweet.

In today's episode we speak with Patrick Benson of War Horses for Veterans. Patrick is an Army Vet who struggled to readjust to civilian life after returning from Iraq. He tells us about the highs and lows and what lead him to found War Horses for Veterans.   As Patrick explains on his website: "War Horses for Veterans is the premier horsemanship, networking and personal growth program in the U.S. We are a Kansas City based nonprofit that brings combat veterans from across the country together in a safe and peaceful environment. Our 3-4 day programs are designed to teach the basics of horsemanship and create a network that will provide outlets for other opportunities and friendships. We use a combination of learning to work a horse, creating new networks and Equus/Life coaching to help each veteran with their own personal growth. There is no cost to the veteran. Veterans may return as often as they like, as long as they bring another combat veteran."   Check out War Horses for Veterans today!   ========= Support Mike's fundraising for The Ironman Foundation's Gold Star Initiative    ================================   Transitions from War After his service in the United States Marines Corps, Mike Ergo started the Transitions from War blog  and Podcast to talk about his struggles returning from combat in Iraq.

This week, Community Signal proudly celebrates three years of conversations with community professionals. We’re taking this opportunity to talk to Patrick about his experience running the show and giving him a chance to reflect on the state of online community management and how he’s seen it develop over these past few years. We’re also grateful to be joined by past guest, Scott Moore, for this conversation. Combined, Patrick and Scott have over four decades of experience in community and a recurring topic in this conversation is how we can learn from industry veterans and those who came before us, as well as recognizing that the community problems of today likely have past occurrences that we can learn from. As Patrick mentions towards the end of this episode, hosting this show has been a way for him to stay up to date on the themes, tools, struggles, and triumphs that the community landscape is seeing and we hope that these conversations are useful for you, too. I know that I can confidently speak for Karn, Patrick, and myself in saying that we’re all looking forward to continuing to ask the tough questions when it comes to community. It’s our duty to push the profession forward. We’re breaking this conversation up into two episodes. In part one, Patrick and Scott talk about: Choosing metrics that matter The career trajectory for community professionals and how he approaches managing his team His go-to resources for staying current on all things community Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Higher Logic. Big Quotes On learning from the past: “There’s a lot [that can] happen in communities that seems like a major crisis, that seems like the end of the world, that seems like it’s over. You just have to do the work, persevere, make it right, apologize, and do your best. … Most things, you get through and you persevere through.” -@patrickokeefe On communicating the value of community: “[Community metrics are] really about understanding who you’re talking to, what they value, and then how you can tie the community to it.” -@patrickokeefe On knowing our worth: “We [as community professionals] should recognize our value and in cases where we feel that we are not being utilized fully or we are not being fully appreciated, we do that work for as long as we can and we start to look for better opportunities elsewhere at organizations that will value and respect us. It’s almost like being in a relationship and people think they can fix the other person. It’s not necessarily something that can always be accomplished.” -@patrickokeefe On what makes a great boss: “Great bosses make the careers of the people who report them a priority in their professional work. Whether that be raises, whether that be promotions, whether that be helping them get the new job and not making them feel like they should be scared to ask you for help getting a job or ask you for a reference letter or tell you that this amazing opportunity came up. I’m happy for people. That’s my legacy. That’s how I see my legacy as a community professional: The people that I helped advance.” -@patrickokeefe About Scott Moore Since 1995, Scott Moore has been helping organizations large and small build solid and successful connected communities and the teams that support those communities. He seeks opportunities to use his experience in online communities to help people help each other to make a positive change in their own lives and those around them. Scott has fostered and directed community at Digital Promise Global, Answers.com, Charles and Helen Schwab Foundation, Communities.com, and Fujitsu. He has also consulted with non-profits to help with a variety of online community needs including Healthsparq, Diabetes Hands Foundation, and Edutopia.

As Patrick returns from covering the events of Apple's World Wide Developers Conference, the team sits down to discuss their thoughts on everything that was unveiled.

Igor shouts out Patrick and his hard work. Finally, Josh gives a shoutout to the Nintendo Switch.

What a fun chat!  As Patrick so aptly put it, we had our first conversation on record, so we got to know each other from scratch.  He's such a genuine and open guy, we chatted through his path to his current mindset, yoga practice and philosophy (Awakening Yoga) and how he makes his way in the world...plus we found out his secret sliding doors career - basketball coach!!  Oh and he gave a HUGE shout out to Almighty Foods, and their Cashew Caramello.  Enjoy!!

As Patrick and Mark begin to board the E3 Hype Train, they offer their best predictions of what Nintendo has planned for the big show. The stakes? One million dollars!

Strap in kids, it's a long one!  PodVader is back with the SuperFans - Neil (Redskins), Kevin (Cowboys), James (Eagles) and Patrick (Patriots) - to talk about the NFL stuff fans like to talk about. But first...Go to twitter.com/podernmadness, find the bracket featuring @nfupodcast and vote for our show!To get us in the right mindset, Pod talks with Arthur Arkush of ProFootballWeekly.com (@arthurarkush @pfweekly on Twitter). What's up with Jerry Jones vs the NFL? Who should we be watching at the NFL Combine? It's the QBs of course and Lamar Jackson might be the most interesting of the bunch. The Kansas City Chiefs traded away Marcus Peters to the L.A. Rams for not that much NFL draft capital. What's the story there?To get more insights on the Chiefs' offseason so far (which hasn't even officially begun), Nick, our Chiefs SuperFan, jumps in to share his thoughts on the trades of Alex Smith and Marcus Peters. Plus the team has signed a throw away CB while cutting key veteran front 7 players. As Patrick points out, it seems like a rebuild is happening without the actual rebuilding.  The roundtable continues though with thoughts on the Combine - what positions to watch and what specifically you should be watching. The guys break down who they're watching this weekend in regards to their teams. Kevin gets a chance to go on a rant about Dez Bryant. The other SuperFans pile on except for Pod. Vader and Kevin still believe in Dez Bryant. Neil especially, not so much. The podcast ends with a quick run through of the latest headlines including the NFL Network to air a Flag Football championship this summer. Pod Vader warns this might be the NFL we come to know in the future. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, Aha Radio or anywhere great podcasts are heard. Leave us a review.
