It's Tuesday, March 19th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Algerian pastor sent to prison for holding “unauthorized religious meetings” Please pray for Pastor Youssef Ourahmane, Vice President of the Protestant Church of Algeria. He has been sentenced to a year in prison for holding “unauthorized religious meetings.” His appeal will be heard in court on March 26. Algeria, Africa is ranked the 15th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Argentinian President Javier Milei blocked by liberal Senate Argentinian President Javier Milei has met more resistance from the nation's Senate. Milei's 300 proposed deregulation reforms packed into the mega-decree bill went down in flames last week by a Senate vote of 42-25. Plus, another set of reforms, referred to as the Omnibus Bill, failed last month to make it through the nation's Senate as well. Senate Leader Schumer vs. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Last week, Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate Majority Leader and the highest-ranking Jewish official in America, called for Israel to hold new elections for a new Israeli government, registering his concerns for the “civilian toll” in the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip, reports The Guardian. SCHUMER: “The [Benjamin] Netanyahu Coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after October 7th. Nobody expects Prime Minister Netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of violence, to preserve Israel's credibility on the world stage, and to work towards a two-state solution. “He won't disavow ministers [Finance Minister Bezalel] Smotrich and [National Security Minister Itamar] Ben-Gvir in their calls for Israelis to drive Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank. He won't commit to a military operation in Rafah that prioritizes protecting civilian life. He won't engage responsibly in discussions about a day after plan for Gaza and a longer term pathway to peace.” Appearing on Fox News, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ridiculed the idea of a two-state solution. NETANYAHU: “Hamas had a de facto Palestinian state in Gaza. And what did they use it for? To massacre Israelis in the worst savagery that was meted on Jews since the Holocaust. “We just had a vote in the Knesset the other day, 99 against 9. Our Parliament members voted against the attempt to impose on Israel a Palestinian state. The vast majority of the Israeli public understands that a Palestinian state, the way that it's being envisioned, would be an enormous danger to Israel's future.” Netanyahu scoffed at Schumer's assertion that Israel needs to agree now to a minimal military operation against Rafah, a city in the Gaza strip where Hamas' remaining battalions remain. In addition, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu responded in an interview with CNN over the weekend, calling Schumer's comments “totally inappropriate.” He reiterated Israel's commitment to “bringing down the Hamas tyranny.” Gen Zers more perverted than Gen X or Baby Boomers Almost one-third of Gen Z women, between the ages of 18 and 26, identify with some form of sexual perversion, according to a recent Gallup survey.   Ten percent of men call themselves “LGBTQ” as compared with 28% of women. That's up from just 2 to 3% among the Baby Boom Generation, and 4 to 5% among the Gen X Generation. According to Gallup, “Overall, each younger generation is about twice as likely as the generation that preceded it to identify as LGBTQ+.”  The total number of Americans that identify with sexual perversions stands at 7.6%, up from 3.5% in 2012. New Mexico, Oregon, and Nevada have the most homosexuals The Public Religion Research Institute reports that the state with the highest population of people professing to be homosexual live in New Mexico, followed by Oregon and Nevada. Republicans disenfranchised with homosexual agenda The recent PRRI survey has found that Republicans are becoming increasingly disenfranchised with the homosexual agenda. The proportion of Republicans that would bring punitive measures on Christian-owned businesses that refuse service for homosexuals on religious grounds has dropped from 41% to 34% since 2021. Overall, 60% of Americans are still in favor of punitive measures on Christian businesses holding to their values. Matthew 11:20-22 says that “[Jesus] began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: 'Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.' ”  Homosexual activists win in Florida Homosexual activists are claiming a “major victory” in Florida over a settlement involving the Parental Rights in Education Act signed by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2022. The law prohibited classroom instruction on homosexuality and transgenderism to children 5 through 8 years of age (or kindergarten through third grade). The settlement filed in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals now will allow it in literature, in classroom discussion, and in teachers identifying same-sex or transgender spouses or partners. The settlement also will allow so-called “Gay-Straight Alliances” for 5 through 8-year-old children, homosexuality in the library books, and third-party lecturers to take up the subject.   Surprisingly, 41% of Florida schools have Gay-Straight Alliance clubs. That makes Florida the tenth most pro-homosexual state in the U.S. by this metric. Commercial real estate in hot water Commercial real estate is in big trouble this year.   About $1 trillion in mortgage bonds are maturing this year, representing about 20% of the entire market. This comes at a time when the market for commercial real estate tumbled 50% in a single year. As of January 2024, the 30-day delinquency rate has increased 300%, year over year, according to BusinessInsider.com. Scientists discover a star 500 trillion times brighter than our sun And finally, scientists have discovered a quasar which is the brightest luminary in the universe as far as we know, reports European Southern Observatory. Quasar J0529-4351 is said to be 500 trillion times brighter than our sun. That's the brightness of 5,000 galaxies in one quasar, which is 12 billion light years away from our earth. Quasars form at the center of a galaxy, powered by a massive black hole in space.

HT1778 - Art As an Investment Value is a convention of agreement. When the Baby Boom Generation was massive and there were a large number of people who were collecting fine art photographs, perhaps there were enough people who agreed in the value of a photograph to make it seem like a worthwhile investment. Now that so many Baby Boomers are downsizing and divesting their precious photograph collections, there is downward pressure on prices. Sorry to say it, but I'm seeing lots of photographers who are coming to terms with the truth that their collections aren't worth what they thought.

This week, Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt look at the most powerful and divisive generational cohort of them all: boomers. The people born between 1946 and 1964 have been credited, and blamed, for creating the world we live in. They're the 60s generation, the Me generation, the Reagan generation and the Third Way generation. Where they lead, the world follows. Now that most of them have passed the age of 60, they are allegedly at war with millennials over their legacy: OK, boomer. But does it really make sense to generalise about a cohort which extends from Dolly Parton to Donald Trump, and Theresa May to Prince? And what is a generation anyway? Ian (early millennial) and Dorian (late Gen X) discuss the roots of generation theory, track the boomers' rise to power and assess the charges that boomers and millennials throw at each other across the divide. Is the generation gap bigger than ever or a phoney war cooked up by politicians and the media?

America has long responded to the needs of Baby Boomers, and the generation reshaped the country as it grew older. But now, its grip on the direction of America is starting to lessen, and that's creating inter-generational tensions. Philip Bump joins Charlie Sykes today.

Two things seem to be in short supply around Denver these days: water and touchdowns. After signing superstar quarterback Russell Wilson to a five-year $245-million contract over the summer, our beloved Denver Broncos have managed to score only seven touchdowns in six games. Maybe they're thirsty or something? Castle Rock and Arvada sure are. Like the rest of Colorado, those two Denver suburbs are looking at a dwindling water supply and increasing population — but they're responding very differently, with a turf ban in Castle Rock and big new connection fees in Arvada. But could there be another way? Denver Post columnist Jo Ann Allen joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to work through our collective growth anxieties and commiserate over the Donkeys. In addition to being one of our favorite guests, Jo Ann is a public radio veteran and the host of the Been There Done That podcast, which tells the real life stories of and by the Baby Boom Generation. Don't miss her recent episode with Marc Maron! We discussed past guest Michael Booth's recent piece for the Colorado Sun about new water policies in Arvada and Castle Rock.  Subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver a big batch of curated event recs for your weekend.

In this episode of The 10 Minute Leadership Podcast, we are honoring the Baby Boom generation (1946-1964) and their contributions to the workplace, as well as their interaction with leadership. The Baby Boomers account for 36% of the U.S. population. It is obviously a large generation that made an impact. Happy listening!

It's always fun when I get the opportunity to talk to people whose work inspires me, and makes me reflect more deeply upon how I go about doing things in various ways. Now, for folks who have been following my journey for a while, it's pretty clear that humor plays a big part in this, but that is not something that I usually talk about with respect to whose humor inspires me.Today that's going to change a little bit. My guest is Danielle Baskin, who among so many other things is the CEO of a company called Dialup, but more notably is renowned for pulling a bunch of—I don't know if we'd call them pranks. I don't know if we would call them performance art. I don't know if we would call them shitposting in real life, but they are all amazing. Danielle, thank you so much for joining. How do you describe what it is that you do?Danielle: Thanks for having me. Yeah, I've used a few different terms. I've called it situation design. I've called it serious jokes. I have called what I do business art, but all the things you said, shitposting IRL, that's part of it too.Corey: It's been an absolute pleasure to just watch what you've done since I first became aware of you, which our mutual friend, Chloe Condon first pointed me in your general direction with, “Hey, Corey, you think you're funny? You should watch what Danielle is doing.” That's not how she framed it, but that's what I took from it because I'm incredibly egotistical, which is now basically a brand slash core personality trait. There you have it.And I encountered you for the first time in person—I believe only time to date—at I believe it was Oracle OpenWorld on the expo floor. She had been talking about you a couple of days before, and I saw someone who could only be you because you were dressed as a seer to be at Oracle OpenWorld. The joke should be clear to folks but we'll explain it later for the folks who are—might need to replay that a bit. I staggered up to you with, “Hey, are you Chloe's friend?”Let me give listeners here some advice through counterexample. Don't do that. It makes you look like a sketchy person who has no clue how social graces work. No one has any context and as soon as you said, “No,” I realized, “Oh, I came across as a loon.” I am going to say, “Never mind. My mistake,” and walk away like a sensible person will after bungling an introduction like that. I'm not usually that inartful about these things. I don't know what the hell happened, but it happens often when we meet people that we consider celebrities, and sorry, for some of us that's you.Danielle: [laugh] yeah, also in fairness to you I was probably fully immersed in character being my wizard self, and so I was not there to, you know, be pulled back to reality. For some context, I was at Oracle OpenWorld because I made a thing called same exact name, oracleopenworld.org, but it's a divination conference for oracles, for fortune-tellers, for wizards, for seers, and it happened at the exact same place in time, so there was a whole crew of people dressed up with capes, and robes, and tall pointy hats doing tarot readings and practicing our divination skills.Corey: Now, I could wind up applying about two dozen different adjectives to Oracle, but playful is absolutely not one of them. I would not ever accuse Oracle, or frankly any large company of that scale of having anything even remotely resembling a sense of humor. As someone who does have to factor in the not that remote possibility of getting kicked out of events that I attend, how do you handle that and not find yourself arrested?Danielle: Oh, we were kicked out every single time.Corey: Oh, good good good.Danielle: I've done this for four years. The first year we were kicked out just because we didn't have badges. I made up our own conference lanyard; of course, there's security issues with that. We were pushed out onto the sidewalk, but I wanted to be inside the conference and closer to the building.The next year I did a two-layer conference badge, so I put the real one underneath the fake one so that if security went up to us we had the right to be there. What sort of happened—so, like, the first year we got kicked out was because we were all distributed; maybe there was like 20 of us. Sometimes we were together. Sometimes we were having our own adventures. My friend Brian decided do a séance for the Deloitte team.Corey: Well, that's Deloitte-ful. Tell me more.Danielle: [laugh]. Brian has never done a séance before, but he is a good improv actor and also a spiritual person, so this is, like, perfect for him. As the Deloitte team if they wanted to do a séance they were, like, sure because I think they didn't have anything going—I mean, people are bored at this conference.Corey: Oh, of course, they are.Danielle: Especially if your boss flew you there to stand at your booth and you've been saying the same thing over and over again; you're looking for something interesting. So, he grabs the pillows from a lounge area and little tea light candles and makes a whole circle so that the team can sit down.He's wearing a bright rainbow cape and he stands in the middle and he could have a booming voice if he wants to. So, he just starts riffing and going—he just goes into séance mode, and this was enough to trigger security noticing that something really weird was happening. And when they went—Corey: They come over and say, “What the hell is this?” The answer was “Kubernetes.”Danielle: I had said everyone can blame—if you get in trouble just blame me just say, “I'm doing this with my friend, Danielle,” and have them talk to me. I wanted more people to come and be wizards. I don't want them to worry about it, so I will take all of the issues on me. He said that he should talk to his manager, Danielle, or I don't know.He said something that made it seem we were all part of a company. Which then makes it seem like our whole project was secret guerilla marketing for something. And we didn't pay for booth. We were not selling anything. We were just trolling. Or not troll—I mean, we were having our own divination summit. We were genuinely—Corey: You were virally marketing is the right answer and from my perspective—Danielle: Yeah, no, I wasn't doing viral marketing. They think anything that's unusual and getting people's attention has the ultimate goal of selling something, which it's not a philosophy I live by.Corey: No, it feels like the weird counter-intuitive thing here is the way to get the blessing of everyone from this would've—the only step you missed was charging Deloitte for doing it at their booth because it attracts attention.Danielle: Oh, sure. Oracle should have been paying us a lot of money for entertaining people. Actually, genuinely I had some real heart-to-heart conversations with people who wanted to have a tarot reading about how should they talk to their boss about not listening to them. This is something magical that happens when you are dressed up in costume and you are acting really weird people feel they can say anything because you're acting way more unusual than them, so it sort of takes away people's barriers. So, people are very honest with me about their situation.People had questions about their family. Anyway, I was in the middle of a heart-to-heart tarot reading, and security at Oracle was alerted to find anyone with a cape. Find the wizards and kick them out because they didn't pay to be here. There's some weird marketing thing happen.Corey: “Find and eject the wizards,” is probably the most surreal thing that they have been told that year.Danielle: Oh, yeah. And they didn't know why. The message why I did not transmit to all the security, but they were just told to find us. Two guards with their walkie-talkies in their uniforms went up to me and they had to escort me off the premises. Which means we had to walk through the conference together and I asked them, “Why?” They're like, “We don't know. We were just told to find you.”Corey: Imagine them trying to find you stopping and asking people, “Excuse me, have you seen the wizard?”Danielle: Exactly.Corey: It is hard to be taken seriously when asking questions like that.Danielle: Totally, totally. So yeah, unfortunately, we had to leave and that has consistently happened because I've done it four times. The final year I went, there was a message before the event even started that you're not allowed to wear a cape.Corey: The fact that you can have actual changes made to company policy for large-scale, incredibly expensive events like that is a sign that you've made it.Danielle: It doesn't even point to any particular incident. Yeah, it's cool to have this sort of lore. When I asked in the last year I went, “I asked why can't we wear a cape?” And one of the event organizer security, I don't know what her role was. She said, “There was an incident the previous year.” Which she was talking about me and my friends.Corey: Of course, but that is the best part of it.Danielle: It's just lore than something once happened with these, like, dark spirits that tried to mess up the Oracle conference with their magic.Corey: Times change and events evolve. Years ago I attended an AWS Summit with a large protest sign that said on it AMI has three syllables, and it got a bit of an eyebrow raise from people at the door, but okay, great. Then people started protesting those events for one of the very many reasons people have to protest Amazon, and they keep piling more on that pile all the time which is neither here nor there.I realized, okay, I can't do that anymore because regardless of what the sign says I will get tackled at the door for trying to bring something like that in, and I don't try and actively disrupt keynotes. So okay, it's time to move on and not get myself viewed through certain lenses that are unhelpful, but it's always a question of moving on and try to top what I did previous years. Weren't you also at Dreamforce wearing pajamas?Danielle: I did a few things at Dreamforce. One year I literally set up a tent. They spend millions of dollars on beautiful fake trees and rocks, and also Dreamforce gets taken over every time the event occurs. I did a few things. I thought I should make it seem like this is real nature so I brought camping gear and a tent and just brought a hiking backpack in.Set it up in the middle of the conference floor laying by the waterfall, but there were people in suits networking around me that did not ask me any questions. I just stayed in the tent, but then I decided to list it on Airbnb. So, inside my tent, I was making an Airbnb listing telling people that they could stay at Dreamforce and explore the beautiful nature there, but it took an hour-and-a-half to get kicked out.Corey: The emails that you must have back and forth with places like Airbnb's customer support line and the rest have got to be legendary at this point.Danielle: [laugh] I get interesting cease-and-desists. I wish there was more dialogue. With Airbnb I just got my listing taken down and I couldn't talk to a human, and even when I got kicked out of Dreamforce they wanted me to leave immediately. I totally snuck in; I didn't have a badge or anything. So, I guess they're in the right for that. The second year at Dreamforce I wore a ghillie suit so I hid. So, I stayed a little bit after the conference ended by hiding as a bush.Corey: That is both amazing and probably terrifying for the worker that encountered you while trying to clean up.Danielle: Oh, I mean often employees—like it depends. Some people find my pranks really delightful because it shakes up their day. Security guards also find this amusing. There's some type of organizer that absolutely hates my pranks.Corey: There's something to be said for self-selecting your own audience. One question that I—sure you get; if I get it I know you get it—where it's difficult for people to sometimes draw the line between the fun whimsical things that you do as pranks and the actual things that you do. A great example of this is something you've been doing for, I think, four years now, the decruiter.Danielle: Yeah. The decruiter a service that's the opposite of a recruiter so it is—Corey: At the first re:Invent AWS had a slide that was apparently he made the night before or something and they misspelled security as decurity. From that perspective, what's a decruiter?Danielle: Yes, I love decurity as a way to talk about infiltrating a space, like, “No I'm a decurity officer.” Yeah, decruiter is basically a service where you talk to us to find out if you should quit your job. Instead of finding out if you should work at a place or figuring out what opportunities there are, we discuss the unemployed life—or the inbet—like, being self-employed, between jobs, switching careers, it's a whole spectrum but there's a few recruiters and we're all like very experienced not having an employer or working for a company. And so, we ask people about how would you spend your free time. What's your financial situation? Are you able to afford leaving? It gets pretty personal, but it's highly specific therapy, but we also don't have a high acceptance rate. I've only decruited like 15% people that I've talked to.Corey: Most of them realize that, oh, there's a lot of things I would have to do if I didn't have a job and I'm just going to stay where I am?Danielle: Yeah. Well, I think a lot of people think that as soon as they leave their job a lot of other things in their life will magically transform, or they'll finally be able to do their creative project they've always wanted to do. This is true some percentage of the time, but I always encourage people to do things outside of work and not seek in their whole fulfillment through their job.There's plenty of time where you can explore other ideas and even overlap them to make sure that like when you quit you have things lined up. A lot of people don't know how to answer, “If you suddenly left tomorrow and could just float for three months, what would you do?” If people give me a good answer—and this is similar to an actual job interview I was like, “Why are you excited about working this company?”If people give me a good answer, that's a conversation. A lot of people have no idea, but they're just stuck in a situation where there's things they could do in their outside of work life that would make them feel happier. That's why it's sort of like therapy, but there's a lot of internal company issues that I talk about. A common reason that people want to leave is that they love their role, they love the company's mission, but they do not like their manager, but their manager is really good friends with the CEO and they absolutely can't say anything. This is so common.Corey: They always say people they'll quit jobs they quit managers and there is something to be said for that.Danielle: Yes, it's scary for people to speak up or who do you write a letter to? How do you secretly talk with your team about it? Are you the only one feeling that way? Typically the people that are the most nervous about saying anything are kind of young either in their early 20s and they feel like they can't say anything.I encourage them to come up with a strategy for making change within their corporation but sometimes it's not worth it. If there's tons of other opportunities for them it's not worth them fixing their company.Corey: It's also I think not incumbent upon people to fix their entire corporate culture unless they're at a somewhat higher executive level. That's a fun thing. The derecruiter.com we'll definitely throw a link to that in the [show notes 00:15:49] and I'll start driving people to it when they ask me for advice on these things. Then you decided, okay, that's fun.You're one of those people I feel has a bit of the same alignment that I do which is, why do one thing when I could do a bunch of things? And you decided, ah, you're going to do a startup. What is the best thing that you can do that really can capitalize on emerging cultural trends? That's right. Getting millennial to make phone calls to each other. Tell me about that story.Danielle: Yeah, and it's not just millennials, though I'm millennial. So, a lot of millennials use Dialup. I mean, Dialup started as a project where basically me and a friend set up a robocall between ourselves. So, like a bot would call our phones and if we would pick up we'd both be connected, but neither of us was actually calling each other. So, it was a way to just always be catching up with each other.So, many friends asked me if they could join the robocalls. That was sort of the seat of Dialup is getting serendipitous phone calls throughout the day that connect you to a person that you might know or might want to meet. Because there's overlap of interest or overlap of someone you know. It grew from me and 20 friends to now 31,000 people who are actively using it all over the world and these conversations can be really incredible.Sometimes people stay on the phone for four hours. People have flown out to meet each other. I get notes every day of how a call has impacted someone one. So, that's what I'm up to now, but I'm trying to do more interesting things with voice technology. I just like realized, oh, the voice as a medium it just transports you to other worlds. You have space to imagine.I mean, people listening to this podcast right now they're not seeing us, but they probably are imagining us, what our rooms look like, what we look like. They're imagining the stories that we're telling them without the distraction of video. I want to do more interesting things with intimate audio—not broadcast stuff. Not Clubhouse or Spaces or anything like that, but just more interesting ways to connect people in one-on-ones.Corey: Something I've noticed is that the voice has a power that text does not. It makes it easier to remember that there's a human on the other side of things. It is far easier for me to send off an incendiary tweet at someone than it is for me to call them up and then berate them, not really my style.The more three-dimensional someone becomes in various capacities and the higher bandwidth the communication takes on, I think the easier it is to remember that most people who don't work at Facebook wake up in the morning hoping to do a good job today. Extending empathy to the rest of the world, that's an important thing.Danielle: Yeah, for sure. It's incredible that humans can detect emotional qualities in a voice call. It's hard to describe why, but people can detect pauses and little mutters. You can sort of know when someone's laughing or when someone's listening even though you're missing all of the visual cues.Corey: This episode is sponsored by our friends at Oracle Cloud. Counting the pennies, but still dreaming of deploying apps instead of "Hello, World" demos? Allow me to introduce you to Oracle's Always Free tier. It provides over 20 free services and infrastructure, networking, databases, observability, management, and security. And—let me be clear here—it's actually free. There's no surprise billing until you intentionally and proactively upgrade your account. This means you can provision a virtual machine instance or spin up an autonomous database that manages itself all while gaining the networking load, balancing and storage resources that somehow never quite make it into most free tiers needed to support the application that you want to build. With Always Free, you can do things like run small scale applications or do proof-of-concept testing without spending a dime. You know that I always like to put asterisks next to the word free. This is actually free, no asterisk. Start now. Visit snark.cloud/oci-free that's snark.cloud/oci-free.Corey: Taking a glance at dialup.com, it appears to be a completely free service. You mentioned that it has 30,000 folks involved. Are you taking the VC model of we're going to get a whole bunch of users first and then figure out how to make money later? Sometimes it works super well. Other times it basically becomes Docker retold.Danielle: I've been thinking about this a lot and I swing back and forth. Right now Dialup is its own thing, connecting strangers. It's free though I do have some paying clients because I do serendipitous one-on-ones within organizations. I've got a secret B2B page, and so that is a little bit of revenue. Right now I'm trying to sort of expand beyond Dialup and make a new thing, in which case I am leaning more towards building a sustainable and profitable company rather than do the raise-VC-money-until-you-die model.Corey: I think it's long past time to disrupt the trope of starving artist. What about well-paid artist? It seems like that would inspire and empower people to create a lot more art when they're not worrying about freezing to death. To that end or presumably to that end you are in the process of looking for a co-founder in what is arguably the most Danielle Baskin possible way. How are you doing it?Danielle: Oh, yeah. I could have done a regular LinkedIn post linking to a Google Doc, but that is not my style, and as a self-employed person I can't reach out to old coworkers and be like, “Oh, you're on my team a few years ago. What are you up to now?” So, I'm sort of under-networked and I thought I should make a game that sort of explains what I'm doing, but have people discover the game in an interesting way. So, I bought a bunch of floppy discs—I have a floppy disc dealer outside of LA.Corey: For those who are not millennials and are in fact younger than that—and of course let's not forget Gen X, the Baby Boom Generation, the Silent Generation which I can only assume is comprised entirely of people who represent big companies from a PR point of view because they never comment on anything. What is a floppy disc for someone who was born in, I don't know, 2005?Danielle: Oh, a floppy disk is how you would run software on your computer.Corey: Yeah, a USB stick with no capacity you can wreck with a magnet.Danielle: Yes, it's like a flat wide USB stick, but it only contains—Corey: 1.44 megabytes on the three-and-a-half-inch version.Danielle: I think some of them then went up to 2.88.Corey: Ohh.Danielle: You can't even fit a picture—a modern picture. You could do a super low-resolution pixel art.Corey: This picture of grandma has a whopping eight pixels in it. Oh, okay, great. I guess.Danielle: Yeah. More complex software would be eight floppy disks that you have to insert disk A, insert disk B.Corey: Anti-piracy warnings in that day of ‘don't copy that floppy.' It was a seminal thing for a long time.Danielle: I have it in my game; it says ‘don't make illegal copies of this game.' My game is not literally on the floppy disc. All floppy discs come with pretty interesting artwork on the label. There's a little space for a sticker, and because I have hundreds of floppy disks, I sort of looked at—I had a ton of design inspiration.So, I made floppy discs in the aesthetic of the other ones that say Cofounder Quest—like it's this game—and it leads you to a website. I scattered these in strategic places around the bay area, and I also mailed some to people outside of the bay area. If you stumble across this in person or on the internet, it leads you to this adventure game that's around seven minutes to play.It really explains what I want to do with Dialup, and explains me, and explains my aesthetic, and the sort of playful experiences that I'm into without telling you. So, you get to really experience it. At the end, it basically leads you to a job description and tells you to reach out to me if you're interested.Corey: I was independent for years and I finally decided to take on a business partner. As it turns out, Mike Julian, who's the CEO of The Duckbill Group and I go back ten years, he's my best friend. I kept correcting him. He introduced me as his friend. I said, “No, Mike, your best friend.” Then I got him on audio at one point saying, “Oh, Corey Quinn? He's my best friend.” I have that on my soundboard and I play it every time he gets uppity. That's the sort of nonsense it's important in a co-founder relationship. It is a marriage in some respects.Danielle: Oh, for sure.Corey: It's a business entity. Each one of you can destroy the other financially in different ways. You have to have shared values. The idea of speed-dating your way through finding some random co-founder as a job application, on some level, has always struck me as a little dissonant. I like the approach you're taking of this is who I am and how I go about things. If this aligns then we should talk, and if you don't like this you're not going to like any of the rest of this.Danielle: For sure. I'm definitely self-selecting with who would actually reach out after playing. I also understand. I'm not going to find a co-founder in a few weeks. I'm just starting conversations with people and then seeing who I should continue talking to or seeing if we could do a mini-project together.Yeah, it's weird. It's a very intense relationship. That's why people do end up becoming co-founders with someone that they already know who's a friend. It's possible I already know my co-founder and they've been in front of me this whole time. I think these sorts of moments happen, but I also think that it's cool to totally expand your network and meet someone who maybe has an overlap in spirit, but is someone that you would've never otherwise met. That there could be this great overlap or convergence there. I wanted to cast a very wide net with who this would reach, but it's still going to be a multi-month-long process or longer.Corey: It's not these one-off projects that are the most interesting part to me. It is the sheer variety and consistency of this. During the pandemic I believe you wound up having the verified checkmark badges for houses and fill out this form if you want one and for folks in San Francisco. Absolutely, of course, I filled that out. I read a fairly bad take news article on it of a bunch of people fell for this prank.No, absolutely not. If people are familiar with your work then they know exactly what they're getting into with something like this and you support the kinds of things you want to see more of in the world. I didn't fall for anything. I wanted to see where it led and that's how I feel on everything you do.Danielle: Yeah, you appreciated the joke.Corey: Yeah.Danielle: Yeah, I think people who are familiar with my work understand that I take jokes very seriously. So, it's not simply—like, usually it's not just a website that's like, huh, this was a trick. It's more of an ongoing theater piece. So, I actually did go through all of the applicants for the Blue Check Homes. Oh, for some context, I made a website where you could apply to have a blue verified badge and a plaster crest put on your house if you are a dignified authentic person that lives in the house.So, I'm interviewing—I narrowed it down to 50 people from all the applicants and I'm going through and interviewing people with a committee. I'm recording all of the interviews because I think this will make an interesting mini-documentary. I'm actually making one in installing one, but I'm documenting all of it.When I started it—for a lot of projects I don't have the ending planned yet. I like the sort of joke to unfold on the internet in real-time, and then figure out what the next thing I should do from there is and continue the project in a sort of curious exploratory mindset as opposed to just saying, “All right, the joke is done.”Corey: What is your process for coming up with this stuff? Because for me the most intimidating thing I ever see in the course of a week is not the inevitable cease and desist I get from every large cloud company for everything I do. Rather an empty page where it's all right time for me to write a humorous blog post, or start drafting the bones of a Twitter thread, or start writing my resignation and if I don't come with an idea by the end of it, I'll submit it. Where does the creative process start from with you?Danielle: Yeah. I rarely have creative brainstorming sessions. I'm a person who thinks of a million bad ideas and then there's one good one. My mind leaps to a ton of ideas. I rarely write down ideas. I don't do any sort of—you might imagine I'm in a room of whiteboards and post-it notes, workshopping things and doing creative brainstorm sessions, but I don't.I think I act upon the things that I feel just extremely excited about and feel like I must do this immediately. It's hard to explain, but with a lot of my ideas, I just feel this surge of energy. I have to do this because no one else will do it and it's funny at this moment. If I don't feel that way I kind of don't do anything and see if the idea keeps reemerging. With a lot of ideas I may be thought of it a year ago and it just kept resurfacing, but I don't really force myself to churn out creative projects if that makes sense. People have told me that my work reminds them of Mischief. It's like as a company that puts out a prank on a Tuesday every two weeks.Corey: Not familiar with them, but there have been a whole bunch of flash mob groups, and other folks who affected just wind up being professional pranksters, which I love the concept.Danielle: Yeah, yeah, for sure. I do churn out a lot of pranks and I even have my own prank calendar. I'm not strict with my own deadlines and I also think timing is important. So, you might think of a good idea, but then it's just the spirit of the zeitgeist doesn't want you to do it that week. I improvise the things that I want to launch. I mostly do things that I just feel are rich in something I could explore.Like, with Cofounder Quest I was always on the fence about it because it feels to me annoying to tell people you're trying to hire someone or to put yourself out there and be pitching your startup. So, I was kind of nervous about that, but I also thought if I leave a floppy disk in the park, and then put a picture on the internet it'll lead to something—there's something that it will lead to.It might lead to finding a co-founder. It might lead to meeting interesting people, but also I've never built an interactive game with audio and so I was interested in learning that, but yeah, I tend to land on ideas that I think are rich in terms of things I could learn. Things that I could turn into more immersive theater and things that keep resurfacing as opposed to keeping myself on a strict schedule of creative ideas if that makes sense.Corey: It makes a lot of sense. It's one of those things that it is not commonly understood for those of us who came up in the nose of the grindstone 40 hours a week, have a work ethic. Even if you're not busy look busy. Sometimes work looks a lot more like getting up and going to a coffee shop and meeting some stranger from the internet than it does sitting down churning out code.Danielle: For sure. I think that it is important to continue being in conversations with people. I think good ideas emerge while you're in the middle of talking, and you realize your own limitations and ideas when you have to explain things to other people. While something you're very clear in your head as soon as there's a person you don't know and they ask you, “What are you working on?” You realize, oh, there's so many gaps. It made perfect sense to me, but there's a lot of gaps. So yeah, I think it's important to stay in dialogue and also have to explain yourself to new people instead of just sort of making ideas in a vacuum.Corey: I want to thank you for being so generous with your time and talking to me about all the various things you have going on. If people want to follow along and learn more about what you're up to, where can they find you?Danielle: I post a lot of my projects on Twitter. So, I'm @djbaskin. If you want to play Cofounder Quest, it's cofounder.quest. That is an actual domain. I also have a website daniellebaskin.com, which has a lot of my projects, many of which we didn't discuss. I also do, similar to Oracle OpenWorld, I like to host popup events that involve lots of people trolling. So, if you want to get involved in anything you see I'm always happy to bring more wizards on board.Corey: We will, of course, put links to that in the [show notes 00:31:10]. Danielle, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today.Danielle: Oh yeah, thanks for having me. It was great talking with you.Corey: Danielle Baskin, CEO of Dialup, and oh so very much more. I'm Cloud Economist Corey Quinn, and this is Screaming in the Cloud.

As we complete our Boomer series, I would like to end on a hopeful and uplifting topic and that is creating the life you want. Baby Boomers have been given the gift of a longer life expectancy thanks to modern medicine. For most boomers aging is not so much about getting old as it is a new time of life. Many are asking themselves, “What's next?”. When we look to what some may term our “third act” or perhaps “fourth act”, who we have become and who we might still want to become is reflected upon. My guest, Rhonda Farrah, will talk with us about aging as an opportunity to fully live the life you have always wanted. She sees this time as offering the potential for transformation and change both inside and out. Her passion for assisting and inspiring others to create the success and life you desire is her life's work. Rhonda has written several ebooks, and for the past 25 years has worked as a LIFEstyle Empowerment Coach/Alchemist, Author, Speaker, Spiritual Practitioner, and licensed Art of Feminine Presence™. Her philosophy is simple” Identify & Live you deepest Passion while striving for balancer in all areas of your life. Take the time to listen and reflect as I discuss creating the life you want through transformation and change of self with one of our leaders in inspiring and guiding others in a positive direction for betterment.

Thursday, May 27, 2021, 12 noon WPKN 89.5 FM www.wpkn.org Host: Duo Dickinson If you are older than 40, you remember the first seven years of this century. For many reasons, not the least of which was greed, the peak buying years of the Baby Boom Generation perverted the basic human need to have a home we love into a fevered housing boom, then a worldwide economic crash in 2008. In the previous 30 years there had been about three other housing bubbles, and their inevitable bursting to housing busts. But the 2008 housing bust lasted a decade in Connecticut. Low or no growth in prices, slow construction activity, and a depressed reality that the extreme cost of Connecticut homes had topped out, perhaps forever, made for chastened expectations. Then another bust, Covid-19, ended any number of home renovations, sales, building. It was only natural that mandatory sequestration stopped many things people do every day, including thinking about our homes – new or renewed. But a funny thing happened, we were all force fed our homes as our one place of working, learning, eating, working out, even connecting (now through our computers). Collectively many of us found that we loved our homes, but they can be improved upon. So as soon as the bonds of lock-down were loosened, a rush to revise where we live began. The mortgage rates are still low, the houses that are up for sale (AKA “inventory”) is low – the lowest since 1963 according to the website “Meanwhile in Markets”), personal savings are up after a year of no where to spend income, and, “Voila!” a housing bubble. This means prices of everything related to homes, construction, home prices, even fixtures are exploding, and often, impossible to obtain right now. Three Real Estate and Architecture Mavens join HOME PAGE to give us all a snap shot of where we are in a crazy moment of our hone-based lives.Leigh Whiteman Is a real estate broker and leader of The Whiteman Team at William Raveis Real Estate.

Are you part of the Baby Boom generation? Or are you caring for or have a loved one who is a Boomer? My guest, Rick Bava, is one of America's prominent thought leaders on the Boomer generation. His book, “In Search of the Baby Boom Generation” was the culmination of his travels and conversations with Boomers throughout the United States from all walks of life and socio-economic backgrounds. We will discuss what he learned in his travels about this unique and often talked about group of aging adults. We will talk about the issues this generation is currently facing and/or will be facing as they age in the 21st century. As a Boomer myself, and only seven days older than Rick, I am very excited to hear what Rick will share with us about my generation and what he sees in our future.

I have said for quite some time that the nonprofit sector is not prepared for the Baby Boomer to become their predominant major donor. All over the country, we have become so accustomed to relying on a lucky list of ten or twelve old white men that it hasn't occurred to us that this donor profile is disappearing. And, what happens when they are all gone? After getting disgusted with what their father's generation put up with, they get a book deal with a major publisher, get an endorsement from Seth Godin on the cover, and they start donor-advised funds not only for themselves but for their children. This new cohort of major donors is more diverse, more savvy, and more female. I have spent my entire career working closely with donors like Lisa Z Greer who are unapologetic about their place in the world; have a genuine desire to support causes in meaningful ways; yet find little pleasure in our attempts to work, coddle, and manipulate them into loosening their purse strings. Lisa Greer’s Philanthropy Revolution has received much attention; and I have it on good authority that Lisa’s book is ruffling feathers among my colleagues in the consulting ranks. Apparently, donors aren’t supposed to have valid opinions about the way that fundraising really works. As always, the team at Responsive Fundraising wants to thank our friends at CueBack for being our podcast sponsor and for ensuring that we can deliver up-to-date and thought-provoking conversations every week to those in the professional fundraising community. #responsivefundraising #unpredictable #podcast

Attitudes have changed about a lot of things over the lifetime of the Baby Boom Generation. The red-blooded, all American family of the 1950s was thought to consist of a mom, a dad and multiple biological children. But society must have forgotten to tell Helena because she had a very different take on what makes a family perfect. And, Helena she had no qualms about making her feelings known as the proud, only daughter of the equally as proud parents who adopted her.   Visit beentheredonethatpodcast.com for more information about the show, host Jo Ann Allen, producer Rae Solomon and how to get in contact.

We’re excited to welcome Rob Kosberg, CEO of Best Seller Publishing, author of “Publish. Promote. Profit” and my personal coach and mentor, back to Influencer Networking Secrets to discuss How to Get Your Legacy in Writing.   Rob has helped thousands of entrepreneurs publish and expand their influence through his agency’s ghostwriting, PR and done-for-you publicity services. He originally appeared on the show to discuss “How to Market Yourself as An Author” and we struck up a friendship, which led to me becoming a BSP client.   In his July 2019 “Impact and Income” mastermind gathering for clients, Rob shared how written records of his family’s Russian-Jewish heritage led to the discovery of a famous relative, Soviet space engineer Simian Kosberg. Rob learned that his distant cousin was awarded the Order of Lenin for his contributions to the Space Race of the 1950s, and it led him on a journey to learn as much as he could about his family’s history through the ages. In turn, he now searches for authors, particularly among the retiring Baby Boom Generation, who want to leave a written legacy for their heirs. This heartfelt interview is sure to help you see to the heart of the matter – why this effort is so important, and also why it should not be done without help.   CLAIM your free copy of Rob’s book “Publish.

The First Friday Club of Chicago in Cooperation with the Authors Group (Union League Club)   Welcomes Ms. Joy Loverde Author: Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old? and The Complete Eldercare Planner   Who will address the topic: “Caring for Aging Parents and Loved Ones while Planning for Your Future Self - Are You Ready?”   The Baby Boom Generation has become the new senior citizen generation, with more than 6000 Americans turning 65 every day. At the same time more and more people are living into their 90s. This data presents us with two fears: the fear of dying and the fear of living too long. Many of us might become--if we aren’t already--the caregivers for grandparents, parents, spouses, siblings, and beloved friends. Without careful planning, that role as caregiver can put our own physical, emotional, financial, housing, and legal needs at risk.  But wait--what about you and me, especially if we have no children or others to rely on as we grow older? Joy Loverde points to the increasing percentage of the middle-aged and Baby Boomers who are aging solo: the never married, separated, divorced, and widowed. Given this reality, the number one question we all need to ask ourselves is, “Who will take care of me and be my advocate when I’m old?”

In this episode, Marc covers the Greatest Generation, the Silent Generation, and the Baby Boom Generation in America, from the events and technologies that shaped them, to the life choices they made.   Key Takeaways: [1:13] Marc welcomes you to Episode 112 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast.

[2:07] In this week’s podcast, Marc will continue a short series of episodes based on his Multi-generational Workplace Workshop. Marc will deliver this workshop on March 7th at the Texas Hospital Insurance Exchange and it was suggested to him that he might want to make a podcast series of it. [2:23] Last week, Marc published a blog post, “The Ubiquitous Access to Information and a Generational Rift,” based on the idea that how people obtain information is changing rapidly. [2:42] When doctors are trained, memorization of medical information has decreased because it is so readily available. Marc learned this from the Dean of the University of Texas Medical School at a breakfast club. The roomful of Baby Boomers showed shocked faces. [3:09] Because things are readily available, we don’t memorize anymore and we don’t have to. That scares most Baby Boomers. [3:19] If you did not listen to Part 1 of this series, Marc suggests you go back and listen to that, first. In this episode, Marc will cover the Greatest, the Silent, and the Baby Boomer Generations in this episode. Next week, Marc will cover Gen X and Gen Y — why they don’t necessarily get along and why we sometimes misinterpret them. [3:43] Marc welcomes you to the second installment of “The Multi-generational Workplace — ‘Why can’t we all get along?’” In the workshop, March shows five flipcharts, one for each generation. Each flipchart has areas for events, technology, communications, learning, and how we research “What is the capital Madagascar?” [4:22] Each flipchart talks about our parents (of Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Y) and which presidents came from each generation. [4:37] The Greatest Generation are those born from 1900 to 1924. Every single male of this generation served in the military or in public service. You might pause the podcast to consider what events catalyzed this generation. [5:24] WWII and the Great Depression completely galvanized this generation. As a result, they believed in big government and they saved money ‘like crazy,’ Marc’s father graduated from college in ’42 and enlisted in the Army. Marc joked that his father wasn’t frugal, he was cheap. [6:12] You might pause the podcast and ponder what technologies affected this generation. [6:28] This generation was all about transportation. They were the first to have automobiles, and the U.S. Interstate Highway system was created after WWII. [7:01] When this generation left home, how did they communicate back with their families? You might pause the podcast and consider it. [7:25] This generation wrote letters. Written communication was the foundation of this generation. They wrote by hand in cursive. Do not hand a letter in cursive to a Millennial. They may not be able to read it! [7:59] Marc will show there has been a transformation between generations from written to audio and back to a form of written communications. [8:21] How did this generation research the question, “What is the capital of Madagascar?” How did they learn? You might pause your podcast and think about it. [8:37] The encyclopedia? World Book did not become prevalent until the 1950s. This generation very likely had to go to the library and find an atlas or a globe. They did not have information that was readily available in their homes. They had to go somewhere to go find the answer. [9:34] The Greatest Generation or G.I. Generation produced every president from JFK all the way to George Bush, Sr. The Greatest Generation has had their fingerprints on almost everything for 40 to 50 years. [10:13] The Silent Generation or Traditional Generation was born from 1925 to 1945. What events do you think affected this generation? You might pause the podcast to consider. [10:35] The events that affected this generation are WWII and the JFK assassination. The assassination was a real shocker. Marc remembers Dallas at the time of the assassination. [11:41] What technology affected and galvanized this generation? You might pause the podcast to think about it. [12:01] There were two very significant technologies. The first was the telephone and the second was “the pill.” The pill had a massive effect on this generation through birth control. Divorce rates soared among this generation, which is why so many of Generation X ended up being latchkey kids growing up in households of divorce. [13:01] This was the first generation where we had telephones. They still wrote letters, but calling was a step to auditory communications from a distance. [13:47] How did this generation research the capital of Madagascar? They still probably had to go to the library. Encyclopedias did not become prevalent until the Baby Boomers. [14:38] The Silent Generation has produced zero presidents. They’ve had some candidates, most recently, John McCain. We very likely will not have a president from the Silent Generation. [15:23] Because the Silent Generation was so small, they have not had the impact, politically, that the Greatest Generation has had, or that Baby Boomers have had. Generation X is also a small generation. [15:46] Baby Boomers were born from 1946 to 1964. What events affected this generation? You might pause the podcast to think about it? Jot down some ideas. [16:20] Two critical events galvanized Baby Boomers. One was Vietnam. Marc has seen television newscasts from that period at the U.S. History Museum. The ramp up into the Vietnam War was fast. Marc contrasts it with the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan. [17:21] Watergate was the second event that affected the Baby Boom Generation. Both these events made us very distrustful of big government. If you were born from 1946 to 1955, you were probably affected by Vietnam. If you were born 1956 to 1964, you were affected more by Watergate. [18:01] Marc remembers in the summer of 1972 watching the Watergate Hearings daily after his work shift at the Howard Johnson's. Early Boomers affected by Vietnam, delayed marriage and stayed in college. Some Boomers in their 60s still have kids in college. [19:12] Late Boomers, 1961 on, had children at a younger age, have little memory of Vietnam, and in their 50s, have children in college. [19:46] You might pause the podcast and think about what technology most affected the Baby Boomer Generation. [20:10] Baby Boomers were the first to have televisions. Mass marketing was first applied to the Boomer Generation. Marc remembers seeing The Flintstones in 1962, which was mainly sponsored then by Winston Cigarettes! [21:04] The next technology came in 1969. You might pause the podcast and consider what it was. [21:19] In 1969, Visa was introduced. Boomers were the first generation to have easy access to credit. Marc remembers a Barney Miller episode where a detective was telling a young drug dealer that he would never have one thing — credit! [21:56] Boomers were the first generation to be the targets of advertising, with ready credit to purchase new things. This is an echo effect from our parents, who saved money like crazy. We spent money. [22:24] When Boomers left home, how did we communicate? You might pause the podcast and think on this. [22:34] Boomers were the first generation to have prevalent long-distance phone calls. College students would give their parents two rings on the phone and hang up. Their parents would call them back and pay for the long distance. Also, we used collect phone calls. Boomers were a very auditory generation. [23:10] Marc tells his Millennial colleagues, “If you have a Baby Boomer boss, and you want them to listen to you, you need to go talk to them.” [23:27] How did Baby Boomers research the capital of Madagascar? You might pause the podcast and ponder this. [23:39] A lot of us had World Book or Encyclopedia Britannica at home. We could easily research at home and get new information with annual updates. It opened up the world to us. Information was rapidly becoming more accessible. [24:18] Who were our parents? To a large extent, our parents were The Greatest Generation. They saved money and believed in Big Government. They believed in “playing it safe.” We Baby Boomers spend money like crazy and we don’t trust government. [24:49] Marc did as his parents told him to. He graduated from college and went to work for IBM, a big company. Marc was raised to be an employee and work for a father-like company that would take care of him. Others did differently than their parents advised. [25:21] Marc never served in the military; most Baby Boomers did not, especially if they were college-educated. Marc did a workshop for a national staffing company and he asked 150 Boomers (110 of whom were males) how many served in Vietnam. Three hands went up. They had volunteered. [25:55] The Vietnam Draft, besides taking citizens, took Green Card holders. Minorities and the poor made up a huge percentage of Vietnam War draftees. Marc learned that those who had the highest casualty rate in Vietnam were college-educated volunteers because they went to fight. Most draftees were not sent to fight. [27:02] The U.S. presidents from Bill Clinton through Donald Trump, has been a Baby Boomer. The next president may also be a Baby Boomer. We will see. Next week, Marc will discuss Generation X Candidates. They don’t look or behave like us. [27:41] In next week’s episode, Marc will cover Gen X and spend a fair amount of time talking about Gen Y (The Millennials). How they view themselves is very different from how Boomers view them. The Millennials are the opposite of the Baby Boomers and we made them that way. [28:12] Marc hopes you enjoyed this episode. Next week, Marc will dig into Gen X and Gen Y. He will show why they likely don’t get along, and why we Baby Boomers misperceive Gen Y. They are our kids! [28:30] Susan Lahey and Marc are working on the next edition of Repurpose Your Career, and Marc is looking for your help. Marc has formed a release team of readers who will get access to pre-release chapters of the book to provide feedback. [28:43] Marc has already released the opening chapter to the release team. You can be part of this team by going to CareerPivot.com/RYCTeam where you can sign up. [28:59] When you sign up, you’ll receive the pre-release versions of the chapters when they become available. What Marc asks in return is for you to provide feedback and be prepared to write a review on Amazon.com when the book is released. [29:14] Marc and Susan are adding about eight new chapters to the book and re-writing several others. Marc will release a new pre-release chapter on this podcast and to the team every four to six weeks in the coming months. [29:33] The CareerPivot.com/Community website has become a valuable resource for the almost 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project. Marc will soon be soliciting members for the next cohort. [29:51] If you are interested in the endeavor and would like to be put on the waiting list, so Marc can interview you, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. When you sign up you’ll receive information about the community as it evolves. [30:05] Those in the initial cohorts will get to set the direction for this endeavor.

I'm still at my mother's house in the U.S. I plan to interview her for next week's TQ podcast. Here's an older one with my former neighbor Rob. We were co-workers for two years, and now he's going to another city in China and I will stay in Nanning for another year (or two).  TQ 053 Rob from Vancouver, Canada (Replay) Rob, 34, is married to a woman from the Philippines and is from Vancouver, Canada. He taught in Korea for many years and is now my next-door neighbor in Nanning, China. If you listen carefully you can hear that he has a slight Canadian accent. He says "out" and "about" and "been" in a different way from me. He also gives a fun imitation of a Newfoundland (eastern Canada) accent. He says, "No doubt about it", but it sounds like "No doot aboot it"! Listen as we talk about the words "Yankee" and "Canuck", interesting places in Korea and the Philippines, and suggestions for learning vocabulary words. Also listen for the sound of birds in the background. We recorded this at about 12:30 pm on a nice day, and the birds were singing outside my windows. Here are some words we use that you may not know: sibling, Baby Boom Generation, barbecue/BBQ, hockey, snowbirds, kiwis (three meanings!), steep, vertical, to carve, Buddha, statue, rice terraces.

  In this episode I will discuss the  Demographic Tidal wave. This is a big trend that is going to impact the world and your life for the next 18 years whether you want to or not. The demographic tidal wave I am talking about is off course the aging baby boomer generation. The  Baby boomers are people born during the demographic post–World War II baby boom approximately between the years 1946 and 1964. This includes people who are between 70 and 52 years old in 2016. 2016 is a big year since the first group of baby boomers are going to turn 70. I discuss potential impacts of this trend in Social programs, Markets, Housing and look at all the possible opportunities to serve and provide value for the Baby Boomers in the next 18 years. This is a must listen episode to understand the enormous impact that demographic and government and central bank policies have on the world.

In a shocking revelation that was just made clear to me by an embarrassingly thin royalty check, there are many people who have not gone to Amazon dot com to acquire a copy of my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Subtitled, "We're the brand new Louie Louie Generation." Which is a shameless plug. But it also means some of you may not understand what the Louie Louie Generation is all about. So let me fill in this disastrous gap in your understandings about life. Unlike "Generation X" or "The Baby Boom Generation", there are no age limits to the Louie Louie Generation. You are a member of the "Louie-Louie" generation if you can pass these two tests: #1 is "Louie-Louie" a song that has been playing somewhere in the back of your head since you first heard it? #2 Is getting stuff done and having some fun more important to you than sticking nails through your tongue like the Pimple People, or sitting in a rocking chair drooling, drinking beer, and watching daytime TV like the Dreary Drones? More about the Pimple People and the Dreary Drones a little later. As Big Louie, his own bad self says in my book, "Most Louie Louie Generation Lads and Ladies don't have rock hard abs and perky breasts any more, but we certainly have no intention of letting ourselves turn into hunks of luke warm meat."
