What if the key to unlocking your creativity was as simple as screaming it out? Dr. Jayne Gardner returns to share groundbreaking insights from her new book, Best Job Ever, and her powerful Rewire Retreat. We dive into the science behind emotional release, primal wounds, and the impact of unprocessed childhood experiences on our creative and professional lives. In this episode, we explore Primal Scream Therapy—a tool that activates the amygdala, helps dissipate negative emotions, and creates space for clarity and creativity. Dr. Jayne shares a fascinating story about coaching a group of truckers who embraced the practice and found immediate stress relief. Plus, we discuss the Emotional Set Point (ESP) and how understanding your baseline emotions can help you shift toward a more empowered and creative state.

603. We chat with Lenore Weiss about her novel, Pulp into Paper, which “is about the struggle of Arkansas and Louisiana mill workers to tell the truth about what is happening in their work and personal lives. The book mirrors the choices we make between earning a living and our ethical values, but is sympathetic to all characters on either side of the environmental divide.” Pulp into Paper is an engaging, disturbing and sometimes humorous novel exposing a calcified network of corruption between a company (Rand-Atlantic) and the government (EPA) in a small Southern town where "the stink [is] the smell of money." Weiss's talent for detail is extraordinary as she takes us into the homes, sandwich shops and hydrogen-sulfide infested creeks of East Hentsbury with its unforgettable cast of characters." (Campbell). Lenore Weiss is enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts Program at San Francisco State University. Her poetry has been published in many journals  Her books include Cutting Down the Last Tree on Easter Island (West End Press, 2012) , Two Places (Kelsay Books, 2014), and Mortal forthcoming in 2016 from Black Cat Moon Press.

The title of this podcast pretty much desribes the enthusiasm Meghan has for what she does and in fact, were her exact words! She spent 10 years teaching and felt that she was being pulled to do something else.  On this episode we talk about how Meghan was able to help families by tutoring and bringing in a whole team to do the same during the pandemic.  As time went on fewer people were needed and Meghan made a shift to open her own location right down the street from where she taught fo so many years. She now has her own location, focusing on helping children with their learning experience and couldn't be happier!   Home | Next Step Education (nextstepeducationtutoring.com)

Seth Godin is well known in much of the global business world as the ultimate Entrepreneur/Social Innovator and an icon of fresh perspectives that focus on what really matters. In this episode, Dr. Lynda and Seth discuss the insights in his new book, The Song of Significance, which has been described as a book for a new era in the world of work… and a new generation.  00:00 Preview 00:23 Intro & Welcome 03:47 What's the best job you ever had Bosses think that money and job security are the most likely answers A 10,000 person survey across 90 countries  showed that the top 3 reasons were: I accomplished more than I thought I could I was treated with respect I was proud of the work I did Bringing humanity to the work you do benefits everyone 05:32 Normalizing working life Simple changes in the work place  Employees can also be proactive about the choice  08:14 Significance “Significance is meaning and meaning comes from making a change happen” School has taught us to focus on things that work doesn't need Significance in work comes from questions such as: Who am I here to change What is the change I seek to make How will I know if its working? Significance makes us feel alive 00:09:09:15 - 00:11:32:06 Break 11:34 Humans are not resources How our current system came into being robotic work  Treating humans like resources  Assume good intentions & give people the benefit of the doubt Take responsibility for what we bring to the work environment Figure out how to add value by connecting to change that impacts your customers, vendors, co-workers etc.  13:26 The Great Resignation The promise of meaningful, secure work and reasonably good compensation and conditions went out the window the with the introduction of outsourcing, downsizing, mechanising which treated people like disposable objects People have recognized this change their commitment to companies has waned over time 14:55 Management is not leadership Managers use power and authority to get people to do what they want faster & cheaper Leaders voluntarily identify people who want to get somewhere and help them get there You can't do both jobs at the same time Tension vs Stress in the workplace Stress is wanting to stay and go at the same time and it leaves us torn  Tension is a good thing and nothing changes without tension Are meetings a symptom of work crises? Asynchronous thoughtful work is extremely powerful Meetings are useful for collaboration & conversations but bosses often take the lazy approach of using them for one way communication and take comfort in seeing people as a proxy for measuring productivity 19:31 Collaboration & Diversity Teams that bring different skills together produce better work than teams lacking diversity false proxies and should be eliminated  21:23 What are real skills these days? Real skills are attitudes that can be learned 23:52 The Goodness Opportunity Being where we need to be and bringing your heart to what is involved Are we working with people who are seeking to make the change that we're trying to make in the world The Goodness solution is a foundational issue and not top down People need to make a decision to be good and create impact that creates goodness and this impact will multiply 25:56 Protecting Peoples' Dignity Offering people dignity is extremely powerful Criticize the work and not the worker 30:07 The age soundbites The internet & social media  People are incentivized to winging it rather than doing the research 31:48 PAGE 19 THINKING 32:39 The Carbon Almanac 33:23 Closing Do the work that scares us Keep making a ruckus! We need you!

Dr. Bray continues sharing “updated” and “upgraded” career advice during this part 2 podcast on current career advice. We believe that career advice is fatally flawed, especially now. With so many changes occurring, different industries, and new jobs being created, it is practically impossible to provide sound advice to everyone. It has been nearly seven years since I wrote my first book, the USA Today best-seller, Best Job Ever. I'm glad that most of that advice still stands, but I'm upgrading a few thoughts on your career. Don't miss this career advice you will need for 2023. *Derek Thompson, Your Career is Just One-Eighth of Your Life. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY “Meaning and purpose are first; passion comes later.” “Do the job you want to do every day.” “Life is moments!”

Do men wear jewelry anymore?  Anna saw Harry Styles wearing jewelry at the Grammys last night, and she wondered why more men don't.  Raven used to wear bracelets, and you won't believe how many piercings he had! Expressing your opinion on social media is just a part of life these days, but if you're on twitter criticizing people on THIS, that's all I need to know about you!  (3:32) What did you differently with your 2nd child, that you would've never done with your first?  With her 1st daughter, Anna did everything “The right way”.  She played classical music, had no screens and avoided all non-organic foods.  With her second daughter, things are a little different.  You won't believe the elaborate system of screens and toys Anna uses when they go out to dinner!  (6:51) If you were going to disguise yourself, what would you do?  Jay Z and Beyonce tried to make an incognito appearance at the Grammy's last night, but if you're that famous, you need to put in a little more effort than this!  (13:27) Did you do something nice over the weekend and not get any credit?  Anna and Raven will give you the credit due!  One caller was even giving away free pizza and got no credit!  Who does that?  (17:15) What was your best job ever?  Anna met someone who works as a secret shopper over the weekend!  She had a million questions about how she could become one too but she felt too embarrassed to ask.  Luckily, someone called the show with information on how to become one!  (24:19) Tom owned a leather jacket that he LOVED and wore it everywhere. Hannah hated how it looked because it was all tattered and made him look like a “biker dude”. Finally she had enough and she donated it without telling him and he's furious. He wants her to go back to the place and get it back. She refuses and says she loves him; she cares to much about him to let him embarrass himself in that coat. Whose side are you on?  (34:50) Raven is on a roll, and the Can't Beat Raven jackpot is up to $500!  Does Bob have what it takes to beat him and win the prize?  (41:21)

What was your best job ever? Anna met someone who works as a secret shopper over the weekend! She had a million questions about how she could become one too but she felt too embarrassed to ask. Luckily, someone called the show with information on how to become one!

I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events January 28, 1694   Today is the birthday of a Fellow of the Royal Society, an avid gardener, and a friend to many scientific leaders in London in the mid-18th century, Peter Collinson. Peter Collinson introduced nearly 200 species of plants to British horticulture - importing many from his friend John Bartram in America. And when the American gardener John Custis learned that Peter was looking for the mountain cowslip (Primula auricula), he happily sent him a sample. Auricula means ear-shaped, and the mountain cowslip is commonly known as a bear's ear - from the shape of its leaves. And the cowslip is a spring-flowering plant, and it is native to the mountains of Europe. Custis also sent Peter a Virginia Bluebell Or Virginia cowslip (Mertensia virginica). This plant is another spring beauty that can be found in woodlands. And I have to say that the blue about Virginia Bluebell is so striking - it's an old fashioned favorite for many gardeners. The Virginia Bluebell is known as lungwort or oyster wort. And it got those rather unattractive common names because people believed the plant could treat lung disorders, and also, the leaves taste like oysters. Virginia bluebells bloom alongside daffodils, so you end up with a beautiful yellow and blue combination in the spring garden - something highly desired and gorgeous. Peter was not the only gardener in search of Virginia bluebells. Thomas Jefferson grew them at Monticello ("MontiCHELLo”) and loved them so much that they were often referred to as Jefferson's blue funnel flowers.  As for Peter, he once wrote, "Forget not me and my garden."  Given Peter’s influence on English gardens, he would be pleased to know that, after all these years, he has not been forgotten. In fact, in 2010, the author Andrea Wulf wrote about Peter in her book The Brother Gardeners: A Generation of Gentlemen Naturalists and the Birth of an Obsession - one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors.    January 28, 1895 Today is the birthday of the nurseryman known as “Mr. Poinsettia,” Paul Ecke Sr. ("Eck-EE"), and he was born in Magdeburg, Germany. Paul and his family immigrated to the United States in 1906. And when Paul took over his father's nursery business located on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood in the early 1920s, the Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) was a fragile, outdoor, wild plant. And Paul fell in love with the Poinsettia immediately. And Paul felt that the Poinsettia was perfectly created for the holiday season because the bloom occurred naturally during that time of year. By 1924, Paul was forced out of Hollywood by the movie business, and that's when he brought his family and the nursery to San Diego County.  Paul and his wife Magdalena had four children, and they purchased 40 acres of land in Encinitas("en-sin-EE-tis"). It was here that Paul would turn his passion for Poinsettias into a powerhouse. And at one point, his nursery controlled 90% of the Poinsettia market in the United States. At first, Paul raised Poinsettias in the fields on his ranch. Each spring, the plants were harvested and then loaded onto two railroad cars and sent to greenhouse growers all along the east coast. And when Paul wasn't growing Poinsettias, he was talking Poinsettias. It wasn't too long before Paul started calling Poinsettias "The Christmas Flower"; Paul was endlessly marketing Poinsettias and praising their attributes as a harbinger of Christmas. Initially, Paul worked to decrease the growing time of the Poinsettia. By getting the time to bloom down from 18 months to 8 months, Paul made it possible for the Poinsettia to be grown indoors. And after figuring out how to propagate the plant through cuttings indoors, Paul was soon able to ship Poinsettias around the world by plane. In the 1960s, Paul’s son, Paul Jr., took over the business, and he cleverly sent Poinsettias to all the major television shows. When the holiday programs aired, there were the Poinsettias - in their glory - decorating the sets and stages of all the most popular TV shows. When Paul Junior learned that women's magazines did their photoshoots for the holidays over the summer, he began growing a Poinsettia crop that peaked in July. Magazines like Women's Day and Sunset were thrilled to feature the Poinsettia in their Christmas magazines - alongside Christmas Trees and Mistletoe. This venture was regarded as the Ecke family's most significant marketing success and made the Poinsettia synonymous with Christmas. Today gardeners will be fascinated to learn that the Ecke family distinguished themselves as a superior grower of Poinsettias by using a secret technique to keep their plants compact and hardy. Their solution was simple: they grafted two varieties of Poinsettias together, causing every seedling to branch and become bushy. Competitor Poinsettias were leggy and prone to falling open. Not so, with the Ecke Poinsettia. By the 1990s, the Ecke growing secret was out of the bag, and competitors began grafting Poinsettias together to compete. Today the Ecke family does not grow a single Poinsettia on their farm in San Diego County. Finally, one of Paul's Poinsettia pet peeves is the commonly-held belief that Poinsettias are poisonous. Over the years, sometimes that fear would prevent a pet owner or a young mother from buying a Poinsettia. Paul Ecke recognized the threat posed by this false belief. And so, Paul fought to reveal the truth one interview at a time. It turns out that a 50-pound child would have to eat roughly 500 Poinsettia leaves before they would even begin to have a stomach ache. Furthermore, the plant is not dangerous to pets. And here's where things get crayze: Paul would regularly eat Poinsettia leaves on camera during interviews over the holiday season to prove his point. When the Ecke nursery sold in 2012, it still controlled over half the Poinsettia market in the world. During the holiday season, roughly seventy-five million Poinsettia plants are sold - most to women over 40.   Unearthed Words The daisy’s genus name, Belis (martial or warlike), refers to its use by Roman doctors as a common treatment for battlefield wounds. John Gerard, the sixteenth-century herbalist and author of the first important herbal in English, wrote: “The leaves stamped take away bruises and swellings ... whereupon it was called in old time Bruisewort." But daisies weren’t just popular medicine. They were also popular for making prophecies. You’ve certainly learned the most famous one: “He loves me, he loves me not."  The last petal decides the question—but its unreliability is unfortunately notorious. You can, however, tell the seasons by the coming of daisies:  It's spring in the English Midlands, and people say when you can put your foot on nine daisies.  But be careful: Dreaming of daisies in spring or summer brings good luck;  If you dream of them in fall or winter, however, bad luck is on the way. — Susan Wittig Albert, author, China Bayles Book of Days, January 38   Grow That Garden Library Botanical Style by Selina Lake  This book came out in 2016, and the subtitle is Inspirational decorating with nature, plants, and florals.

My picture is of the finished garden. My song is the finished garden."  Deborah’s latest design is a formal Elizabethan herb garden in the backyard of the restored Blair-Bowden House on Poplar Street. Deborah became interested in herbs and spices about 12 years ago. "I started a little business called Helping Hand Services… planting herbs and spices in people's gardens.  It started out as a means of supporting myself in school. It grew so quickly, and I enjoyed it so much.  I found myself feeling here I am being creative, and I'm getting paid for it.  I’m spreading beauty in yards working with plants and soil - which I love - and I'm getting paid to learn and create."  Deborah is continually studying herbs and spices. She is particularly fond of designing gardens like those from the Elizabethan era in the 16th and 17th centuries. "There is not much difference in the Elizabethan gardens of the 18th century and Victorian gardens. The (main) difference is the type of herbs they favored in their gardens.  The Elizabethan Gardens were more apt to have highly scented plants because of the period’s sanitation problems. They would pick herbs and spread them on the walks and floors. As company came and walked on the herbs, they'd be crushed, releasing the scents. Herbs were the air fresheners of the day."  Because people seldom bathed, scented herbs and spices were also worn in pomanders around their necks. The Victorian era was more sophisticated. Baths became popular. Perfumes and scented water made from herbs and spices were used. "Victorian people loved rose water. The damask rose was the popular flower then. It is the most highly scented rose there is.” Deborah’s 4th Ward garden, covering a 10-by-10-foot space, is fashioned with circles and diamonds inside a square. Each of the four points of the square is finished in a fleur-de-lis pattern. Deborah used creeping thyme and candytuft as a border hedge for the garden. The rest of the pattern is carried out with lavender, rosemary, lemon, verbena, aromatic herbs, clove pinks, rose geranium, basil, sage, savory, chives, coriander, and camomile. The 100-square-foot garden… will cost between $250 and $600. “The most important thing is to like what you are doing… If you are happy in your work, you tend to grow.”   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

In this week’s show, DesignSafe Radio host Dan Zehner talks with newly minted PhD, Barbara Simpson. Simpson discusses her academic path in engineering and what it’s like entering the workplace as a faculty member.   She says building things out of household articles as a kid naturally led to her career choice. She started in architecture, then switched to civil engineering. A pivotal experience for her was participating in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Illinois — as part of the NSF-funded earthquake engineering initiative called “NEES.” The exposure to earthquake engineering changed her attitude toward academia. She learned about seismic engineering, doing research, and hybrid simulation. She interacted with postdocs and PhD students, wrote a paper and presented at a national conference — in Hawaii.   The hybrid simulation technique combines physical testing and numerical modelling, and researchers often use it when a structure is too large to test. They will physically test a portion of the structure and simulate the rest in a combined fashion that represents the whole system.   She went to UC Berkeley for her master’s degree, and she found earthquake engineering so interesting she decided to stay and earn her PhD. In research, she says, there’s always some new problem that needs to be solved. It is never the same thing twice.   As a graduate student, she focused on testing older types of braced frames, a structural element used to protect against earthquake damage, and saw lots of interesting failures.   Simpson and Zehner discuss the usefulness of modern earthquake-proof provisions, which standardize protective construction features. She wrote her thesis on a kind of braced frame called a strongback, a tie or truss that you put in buildings to prevent weak stories.   As a postdoc, Simpson worked at the NHERI SimCenter, where she created an application that is a learning tool for numerically modeling braced frames. Learning to program is an important aspect of being an engineer, she says. Programming languages are tools that can make research easier and more efficient.   Now on faculty at Oregon State University, she sees that unlike being a PhD student with one cool project to focus on, professors must work on many different things at once. It is harder to choose what to explore, she says. At OSU, the OH Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory presents interesting possibilities for experimentation. She’s interested in control theory, too. She says being a professor is the best job she could ever have: Your research is your choice, she says. Academics have a kind of freedom other careers don’t have.   She encourages new PhDs to apply for jobs, even if the competition is stiff. Even if you don’t get the job, making an application helps you summarize your PhD work and hone your teaching goals, she says. The application cements what you’ve accomplished and helps you figure out where your career is going. 

"Dude you have the best job." I have heard this a time or two. I agree in part. I love my job, well, certain parts of my job. Other parts I am not as fond of. On this episode I dig into the good, the bad, and the ugly of being an outdoor producer.

The Stuph File Program Featuring Jake Heilbrunn, author of Off the Beaten Trail: A Young Man's Soul-Searching Journey Through Central America; Dr. C.K. Bray, author of Best Job Ever!: Rethink Your Career, Redefine Rich, Revolutionize Your Life; & Stuart Nulman with Book Banter Download College is supposed to be the best time of your life with endless fun and carefree living.

He left college to backpack alone through Central America. He shares his own story in his book, Off the Beaten Trail: A Young Man's Soul-Searching Journey Through Central America Dr. C.K. Bray is the author of Best Job Ever!: Rethink Your Career, Redefine Rich, Revolutionize Your Life.

Jay met Kathrin just recently while working on the upcoming series "Con Man" (starring Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillion, and almost the whole Joss Whedon-verse).  Kathrin is from Austria and runs a pretty smooth Art Department.  That was enough to inspire a little conversation about how she went from a tiny little town in the Austrian Alps to the glamorous landscape of sun baked pavement and cavernous sound stages here in Hollywood.  It's the Interntational Edition of Best Job Ever.  Viel Vergnügen!  

Michael Zakin started off as Set PA on Beverly Hills 90210.  It was there that he caught the bug and joined the circus.  Before long he was producing music videos with some of the best bands and directors in the world at Virgin Records.  The bubble burst in the music video industry leaving few unscathed but Zakin survived and has been serving a long residency at American Zoetrope as the VP of Film Production.  American Zoetrope was founded by Francis Ford Coppola in 1969 and has produced countless classic films since.  While at Zoetrope Zakin produced "Life After Beth", "The Bling Ring", "Mozart in the Jungle" as well the upcoming "A Very Murray Christmas" (Starring Bill Murray and Directed by Sofia Coppola) and "Bonjour Anne" (Eleanor Coppola's directorial debut).  You can't find a more honest, trustworthy and talented Producer than Michael Zakin.  Zakin wasn't fully satisifed with his first interview at Best Job Ever so he came back a week later to share some more wisdom and advicce with us.  Part 2 of our conversation will be released later this week as a Bonus Episode.  

Agile2014 Keynote speaker Diana Larsen reminds us of how to reclaim our goal of reaching for and achieving what she calls “the best job ever” by focusing on the three aims: finding work you love, working with purpose, and caring for your tribe.
