Conceptual papers that offer new theories are hard to write and even harder to publish. You do not have empirical data to back up your arguments, which makes the papers easy to reject in the review cycle. We are also typically not well trained in theorizing, and there isn't even a clear process to theorizing we could learn or follow. Does that mean that we shouldn't even try to write theory papers? We ponder these questions, figure out what is so hard in writing conceptual papers – and share a few tricks that might help if you still wanted to write such a paper.  References Berente, N., Gu, B., Recker, J., & Santhanam, R.

Sharing is caring, right? I believe that commercial-scale precision fermentation facilities will be like data centers, which eventually became ubiquitous. And, like data centers, these commercial-scale precision fermentation facilities could one day be relied upon to make a vast array of vital products. But that future might hinge on how open or closed this food technology eventually becomes. Most precision fermentation startups are heavily funded by tech billionaires and venture capitalists. Why? Boilerplate “fight climate change” answers might be used publicly, but it's about betting on the potentially enormous upside that comes with market domination of whole commodity groups and categories. But it's those massive private investments that subsidize early deals that help overcome consumer adoption challenges around price. So, the debate over open-source food tech research is “complicated” and I'm sure global regulatory agencies will make it worse soon.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 22, 2023 is: boilerplate • BOY-ler-playt • noun Boilerplate is a noun that refers to standard or formulaic language, a meaning that comes from an earlier meaning still in use: syndicated material supplied to newspapers in matrix or plate form. Boilerplate can also refer to tightly packed snow. // The last paragraph of the contract was legal boilerplate. See the entry > Examples: "For years, the trolley driver has been putting his own spin on the T's boilerplate announcements, playing with cadence and pitch, recommending his favorite anime, and cheering on Boston sports teams." — Daniel Kool, The Boston Globe, 15 Sept. 2023 Did you know? In the days before computers, small newspapers around the U.S. relied heavily on feature stories, editorials, and other printed material supplied by large publishing syndicates. The syndicates delivered that copy on metal plates with the type already in place so the local papers wouldn't have to set it. Printers apparently dubbed those syndicated plates "boiler plates" because of their resemblance to the plating used in making steam boilers. Soon boilerplate came to refer to the printed material on the plates as well as to the plates themselves. Because boilerplate stories were often more filler—material used to fill extra space in a column or page of a newspaper to increase its size—than important or informative news, the word acquired negative connotations and gained the "standardized or formulaic language" sense widely used today.

Look, as a creative running a business, you already have 1001 things to do. What you don't need to be spending your time doing is re-writing the same thing 100 times when it's not necessary. But we often do. We have to apply for something and find ourselves trying to come up with a bio that makes us sound amazing for the millionth time. Or we go away and have to slap together an out of office message that magically directs people to the right places at the last minute. Or we get an Instagram DM from someone asking a question that we've answered before but never saved so we're typing it out letter by letter because we're a lovely person.It's tiring work but it has to be done, right?!Yes, but it can be done differently.

Some writing is unusual and creative, but that is not boilerplate. Find out what this word means on this week's Words and Their Stories.

Welcome back to Business Unfiltered with Mercer and Jeff Sauer today's topic is Contracts How and Where Do You Use Them 0:00: What is a contract and why is it important? Jeff defines a contract as a formal agreement between two entities, people, companies or whatever you want to call it. 1:56: Using contracts as a sales tool. A contract is useful in the beginning, because when things go poorly, emotions creep in and the contract is written at a different time when everybody is in a different emotional state. A course has terms and conditions and terms of sale, which are how they expect to use it. The difference between a proposal and a contract, and why a contract should not be mixed in with marketing, because marketing is in sales and always sells it short. How a contract is formalizing all the things that are discussed in the intro. 6:15: The difference between a pitch proposal and a contract proposal. The first step to onboarding as an actual client is the contracts, where you see more of that legal side of the proposal. A master services agreement is an agreement between two companies. It's more work upfront, but easier to do because it's never boilerplate. The master services agreement is an add-on to the existing relationship between the two companies. It allows you to get your next contract approved sooner. Using the master service agreement with exhibits can be a strategy for stickiness with the clients. 10:00: How often an attorney would be involved in creating contracts, and whether or not to use an attorney. The risk of using a template for free from the internet, and the bigger implications and challenges that come along with it. It is almost always money well spent. It's almost always what should be done because you can reuse them, that's the idea. Jeff has never litigated a client, or even gotten close to that. He has never had to enforce anything, regardless of the client. Risk vs reward. Litigation is expensive, and lawsuits usually have to go to court based on spite or a lot to lose. Pricing mistakes are almost always because of the rose colored glasses, and that's why he had to develop his own method for pricing. 16:07: How do you use google analytics prior to litigation? The importance of having a spidey sense of who the best clients are to take, and how to fix things when things start to go weird with a client. How to use contracts as a tool prior to litigation, barring the litigation. If the contract was written wrong, shame on you. Don't let it happen again. For any one service that you sell, you can break it down into anywhere between four and 10 sub services that go into it, based on the roughly on one page. 20:30: The problem with auditing goals. Jeff had to do a bunch of implementation work that he thought he was going to get paid extra to do because of the way he wrote the contract. Jeff is grateful for the first customer, and thinks that it is important to give a minimum, but right away you go that's a mistake. The statement of work is a little more nebulous, because they're saying they're going to regard it as an implementation. The retention model is almost a built-in sound, so if it's a little bit too nebulous and they're asking for things that are slightly outside of scope, they're okay with it. 25:15: How to use contracts better. Most contracts are basic and have very little changes. There are only a few minor changes that are seen in the back and forth. The biggest problem for Jeff is not being able to get paid when he thinks he did the work. A lot of it is just in the services provided and who he chooses to work with. 28:59: The importance of contracts. There is no way around the fact that the contract is legal, but it is also a boilerplate template. It looks like every other contract that everyone else has already seen. The worst thing is when the client comes to you and asks what is in the contract. Jeff shares his thoughts on contracts and how they can be used for business valuation. Jeff shares that the more that he teaches someone else, the more people are learning about contracts and what they can learn from him and the podcast.

In this episode, we will be talking to Brian Magrann, the co-founder of Boilerplate.co. Originally from Philadelphia suburbs and went to Penn State, Brian started his career as an auditor and then got to work in a federal government where he did consulting. He eventually worked in a start-up distribution type of company where he identified a pain point related to tracking documentation requests.I love how he went from being a process improvement consultant to founding a software company which focuses on customers.

Episode 40 starts with a brief follow-up on our reports about the growing controversy surrounding a court judgement assessing the city a $5M liability to Gem Equities in the Parker Lands dispute, and a complaint to the Integrity commissioner about the role played by Coun. John Orlikow in the wrongdoing: There's 101 Reasons Why Winnipeg Council Must Review Orlikow's Role In $5M Court Ruling Coun. Eadie Defends Orlikow After Integrity Commissioner Asked To Investigate Next, our investigation continues into the fight faced by residents, home owners and businesses in Point Douglas to get any relief from the rampant public disorder connected to the entrenchment of homeless camps in the area. You'll hear behind the scenes details of a terse reply a homeowner in South Point Douglas gave to a letter from a Manitoba Public Safety director- "Boilerplate responses are not action." After the DoJ official got taken to task for sidestepping responsibility for resident safety, a small but appreciated enforcement action was taken by police about 48 hours later and we have eyewitness accounts. Cause and effect? Hard to say, but it's easy to say that the TGCTS coverage of brought CBC to the table. Marty Gold reviews their report about the homeless encampments and the comments of a community leader. The current situation of intimidation, violence, fear, theft, vandalism, and murder, flows from a failed hands-off approach by the City of Winnipeg that started under former Mayor, Brian Bowman. "The disruption in lives and society is huge and I don't see it getting better." Listen carefully to what was said about the current Mayor and the area councilor who went on a tour of the problem area and offered no action. Marty describes the proof City Hall has failed the property owners and citizens of Point Douglas: the current-day experience of anxious days and sleepless nights caused by garbage, filth and round the clock criminal activity. How much did it cost to replace an industrial air conditioner unit after Pt. Douglas vagrants climbed the roof to steal the copper? It's unacceptable. TGCTS will continue to shine a spotlight on the crime and abuse that is causing residents to sell off their homes and flee.

Boilerplate

North Carolina Legislators Propose Boilerplate Bills Suppressing Mail-in and Election Day Registration Voters Today's Script:  (Variations occur with audio due to editing for time) Today's Links now below the scriptYou're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.We're in North Carolina today awaiting action by the U.S. Supreme Court on Moore vs. Harper, the Independent State Legislature theory test case, and we just learned about a new bill shortening mail-in ballot deadlines and implementing provisional ballots for election-day registrants.A ruling from the high court is expected this week or next on Moore v. Harper, the fringe constitutional theory that state legislatures have ultimate power over election law, even over gubernatorial vetoes and court decisions.  New anti-democracy legislation has also been filed in North Carolina, using boilerplate bills drafted by a group that Raleigh's WRAL reports is run by Cleta Mitchell, head of former President Trump's legal team attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.   The proposed legislation requires receipt of mail-in ballots by 7:30 pm election day, rather than the third day after, and implements two-factor identification for mail ballots.   It would allow “challenges” to voter eligibility by other precinct voters, a voter suppression tactic and a burden for election workers.   The bill also requires voters registering on election day to use a provisional ballot, and not count it until the voter's address is verified by mail or additional documents are provided.Despite little or no evidence of fraud, politicians backing such voter suppression legislation claim it allays public doubt about elections – doubt of their own making.We have more at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org, I'm Brian Beihl.Today's LinksArticles & Resources:The Guardian - US supreme court end-of-term decisions could transform key areas of public lifeThe Brennan Center for Justice - Moore v.

Recorded at Metatopia 2021 Presented by Eric Whalen. Lawyers secretly know that you do not read the big chunks of standardized text in your contract that have nothing to do with your obligations and how much you are getting paid / paying (called "boilerplate" text). Worse - many lawyers forget to read the boilerplate in their own contracts! Whether you love or hate these reader-unfriendly text walls, join the panelist as he reminds us to intellectually grapple with the important provisions everyone has likely agreed to, but may never have read or fully understood until now. Chatters will be encouraged to link their own boilerplate samples so that panelists may demonstrate how to dissect organic boilerplate specimen live.

People ask what it means to be rebellious about wellness, health, and aging. This shortie will answer that in part.Boiler plate medicine is one-size-fits-all diagnosing and prescribing and it makes me nuts. True, some aspects of being a woman or a man line up, like stress is bad for us and junk food in abundance causes inflammation and a host of other ills. Most every other aspect of health must be filtered by, at the least, gender, age, lifestyle habits, and genetics. (Yeah, that's me who used to say genes are not destiny. I still believe that, but new science has me expand on that idea. They are still only a blueprint waiting for a builder, (that would be you and me) but the more we know about our genetic profile the stronger we can build our house. That's not the focus of this episode, but if you want to hear about the latest science of using genes for better mental and physical health, here's an episode on that.What I hope you'll take away is that every recommendation for a prescription or procedure that you get from a western trained doc isn't necessarily what you need and might in fact be harmful over time.This shortie is about encouraging you to get educated before you say Yes to a drug—especially if it's something you'll have to be on for life.I'm also hoping to give you a dose of courage to question, why this drug? What are the side effects? Is there an alternative? Something I can do?Here are a few things I referenced:Cholesterol, Statins and Women Part 1Cholesterol, Statins, and Women Part 2The Power of 5 Assessment Are your lifestyle habits going to give you the long healthy active life you want?

His thing is longevity, biohacking, testing. He's got a great podcast too.I mentioned functional medicine docs a couple of times.

(Boilerplate clauses are those legal-language-heavy clauses that are found at the bottom of your contract). This is because the Canadian courts have been really clear about HOW they are going to interpret contract clauses when there is a dispute…so Canadians need to be especially careful with the wording to make sure the meaning is clear to everyone involved. Another huge difference between the two jurisdictions is the type of damages that will be awarded. Canadian courts rarely offer high rewards for damages in any case- whether that's a contract dispute or otherwise. The only way you'll see a high reward is if there was malicious conduct or highly reprehensible behavior (which is rare and hard to prove). Canadian courts DO often offer awards on cost to the winning party– if you go to trial with somebody in a contract dispute and you win, the other party might be ordered to pay your legal costs up to that point. If you're going all the way to trial you are spending upwards of $50,000 in legal fees so it's really important for Canadian business owners to be aware of that and to have their bases covered with strong legal contracts. MORE FROM THIS EPISODE Press play on Episode 141 listen as we dive deep into the nuances between Canadian and US law. You'll learn how Canadians should approach Website Terms and Conditions, the differences between copyright law (i.e. the surprising person that actually owns a photograph in Canada), how Canadians should register their businesses, employment laws to be aware of, how the Canadian Courts have handled Covid and service based contracts like ours, and Courtney's best tips for Canadian business owners. The Legal Paige is so excited to now have Canadian Contracts available in the shop! Courtney has been a major piece in getting our Canadian Catalog set up and is working through converting all of our TLP Products to living Canadian documents. The biggest takeaway I have for Canadian entrepreneurs- and really all entrepreneurs-  is that NOW is the time to get legally legit. Now is the time to get protected. Now is the time to not shove things under the rug to deal with on another day. Your contracts are so important for your business– they are living documents that shift and grow as your business changes and they set the tone in your working relationship with clients. We are gearing up for our biggest sale of the year in just a few short weeks and I don't want you to miss it. We're talking major discounts in our entire contract shop!

In this episode the panel talks to Robert Ellen and his experience with using macros in Elixir to get rid of some repetitive boilerplate code. They discuss common pitfalls when first diving into macros and resources which help to avoid these mistakes. Robert shares some of the finer details of the challenges they encountered when trying to build these macros and the panel gives their own personal verdict on the age old elixir question: to macro or not to macro. Finally the group briefly touches on some event sourcing topics - as the system Robert refers to was an event-sourced one.

We're almost at the end of this series on contracts! Today, I'm focusing on some of the most common boilerplate contract clauses. If you've reviewed a contract in the past, you may have seen and skimmed through or skipped over them. Despite their commonality, you need to understand what these clauses mean and how they can impact your agreement. When I talk about boilerplate clauses, I'm generally referencing the clauses that seem fairly standard in most agreements. Typically, you'll find them towards the end of the contract.  In this episode, I focus on the clauses often found in service-based business agreements. I review what each clause means and give you some sample language to help you recognize it. Please subscribe if you haven't already. And if you like the show, I'd love it if you'd give it a review wherever you listen to podcasts!   In this episode: [02:49] - Danielle defines the confusing concept of indemnity provisions. [03:59] - What do you need to look at when reviewing an indemnity provision? [04:13] - Danielle discusses disclaimer of warranties. [04:57] - What are choice-of-law and jurisdiction clauses? [05:45] - Agreements may include a clause regarding dispute resolution such as mediation or arbitration. [07:32] - Assignment clauses state whether or not the parties may assign their rights under the contract to another party. [08:20] - In many contracts, written notice to the other party is a common requirement. But how do you give notice? [09:21] - Danielle talks about unenforceability clauses. [09:54] - With survival clauses, certain provisions should survive after the termination of the agreement like confidentiality or intellectual property rights. [10:25] - Some survival clauses list specific paragraph numbers. If you're doing this, watch out for this common mistake before signing. [11:00] - What does a waiver clause typically state? [11:32] - Each party can sign an agreement separately if it includes a counterpart clause. [12:09] - Single agreement clauses state that the agreement supersedes any past agreements between the parties. [13:05] - Danielle offers some fairly simple action steps.   Links & Resources: Businessese Businessese on Facebook Businessese on Instagram Liss Legal Liss Legal on Instagram

This post is part of a Youtube/Click-able Blog Series called “After The Exit” — the show where I interview CEO's after they've sold their startup and have them share the lessons they learned in blood about business, relationships, and life. Look — you can learn a couple tips from how they built it, but the real wisdom — the moral of the story — comes at the end — after the exit. Today I'm really excited to introduce you to my new friend - Ade Olonoh. He started his first company as a senior in college. He studied computer science and mathematics at a small school in the Indianapolis area. Prior to starting that company, he'd spent the previous four years paying his way through college as a freelance web developer. He's since started four companies so far that have exited (to varying degrees of success and failure), and a handful of other companies that he quietly shut down before any real traction. The two most prominent companies are Formstack ( a B2B SaaS company which he bootstrapped for 3 years, then raised $700k from angels, and sold a major stake to Private equity 10 yrs later) and Formspring which had insane initial growth then raised $17M from VCs and later sold for pennies on the dollar after 4 yrs.

Welcome to After The Exit, the show where I interview CEOs after they've sold their startup and have them share the lesson they've learned about business, relationships, and life. Today we have two very special guests: my current co-founders Chris and Nikki Ridenour. Before they were a married couple, they started in 2012 as co-founders of LISNR - an ultrasonic proximity platform. Chris as an engineer and CTO, Nikki as a designer. After working with a ton of major artists and hosting 30K+ user activations, they raised Series A with Progress ventures. Shortly thereafter they left the company in 2014. That lead to Chris founding Casamatic and going through both the Ocean and Brandery accelerators in Cincinnati - and later raising a seed round from Accelerant. After pivoting from b2c to b2b they decided to shut down the company and return the funds to the investors. Chris then joined me as CTO of Cladwell for 2 years, while Nikki went through the Uptech startup accelerator with her startup Farmbee. Chris later joined Nikki on Farmbee after they had their first child. Now - they are current co-founders with me in Boilerplate.legal.

Today I'm really excited to introduce you to my friend Jonathan Smith, former CEO of Kai. Before Kai he was a Chief of Staff for a consumer research firm, then applied what he learned there to launch an app for a megachurch in Cincinnati. From there he built Kai - a conversational fitness coach powered by AI. They raised around $100K from friends and family and went through back to back accelerators - first a faith-based accelerator called Ocean, and second Techstars Chicago. Shortly after leaving Techstars they shut down the company due to a lack of fundraising traction.

Welcome to After the Exit, the show where I interview CEOs after they've sold their startup and have them share the lesson they've learned about business, about relationships, and life. Today I'm really excited to introduce you to my friend Whitney Casey, recently exited CEO of Finery. Before Finery, she oversaw product development and growth at Match.com and also lived a life as a producer and/ or correspondent at CBS, CNN, Fox, ABC, and NBC - winning two Emmy's in the process. She founded Finery - a personal stylist in your back pocket (and a competitor of my previous company, Cladwell). She raised $5mil in seed funding from NEA, partnered with Match.com, and was named CNBC's top 100 startups to watch worldwide. As she was raising Series A at a $30mil valuation privacy laws began to shift so according to public sources she opted to sell to Stitch Fix for an undisclosed amount. Hope you enjoy!
