Perhaps you're familiar with our Outside/Inbox hotline, 1-844-GO-OTTER. Anyone can leave us a voicemail sharing questions about the natural world, and we periodically answer them on the show. A few weeks ago, it came to our attention that we hadn't gotten a new voicemail in some time. Turns out our hotline has been bugging out for at least six months, and we have a lot of catching up to do. So, we present: Outside/Inbox, the lost voicemails edition. Featuring Stephanie Spera, with contributions from Ariel, Joe, Carolyn, Maverick, Jarrett, Eben, a rooster, and a closet (?) full of snakes. SUPPORTOutside/In is made possible with listener support.

If you own land in the United States, do you also own the airspace above it? In other words, who owns the sky?The answer begins with a medieval Roman principle of property rights, which made it all the way to American courts: “Whoever owns the soil, it is theirs up to Heaven and down to Hell." We asked our friends Nick Capodice and Hannah McCarthy, cohosts of Civics 101, to join us to explore the uniquely American philosophy of property, to the moon and back.Featuring Colin Jerolmack, Michael Heller, George Anthony Long, and Deondre Smiles, with special guests Nick Capodice and Hannah McCarthy.

As we've spent the last few years trying to understand what an equitable and fair workplace looks like, you would think we would have made at least some progress. Nearly 90% of Fortune 100 companies list equity as a corporate value. Mentions of diversity, equity, and inclusion on earnings calls have increased six-fold since 2017. Yet, research shows that more than 4 in 5 employees say their working environment lacks fairness. That perception is, in layman's terms, not good. If we've improved fairness and equity, it's gone from absolute rock bottom to something well short of the bare minimum. Music by Bonkers Beat Club, “Fifteen on Me.”
The human brain has a limited amount of calories to make decisions. Over the millennia, our once-smooth brains evolved to reduce complexity to stave off threats. That's why we like straightforward directions, simple charts, and contrast. Simplicity led to survival. Nowadays, when the world's complexity bears down on you, it can feel overwhelming...

Today, we're covering why people are returning to their old jobs, the global skills shortage, and why the wellness industry might need a little health check. If any company is incredibly dependent on its people, it's professional services firms. We would know, being that we do professional services. Being able to retain key talent is critical in these organizations. The institutional knowledge and experience that walks out the door for another job become exponentially more painful as the years go on as well. PwC knows the stakes. The company had already announced that all of its client service professionals could work remotely permanently. Nearly a quarter of their workforce has already taken advantage of the ability to work virtually full time. ... Music by Bonkers Beat Club, “Fifteen on Me.”
April closed with the Nasdaq Composite Index notching its worst monthly performance since February 2009. Time to pour bourbon on your Post Toasties? Not quite. The fear factor in Work Tech should be lower than in the rest of the broader tech sector. ServiceNow earnings? Killing it. ADP earnings? Up as well. In fact, there was lots of good earning news last week. And Salesforce showed that the Future of Work is a big part of its growth strategy. Also, Work Tech investment YTD already makes 2022 the second-highest investment year on record after 2021. Music by Bonkers Beat Club, “Fifteen on Me.”

Imagine you run an airline. You've somehow survived the pandemic. You're prepping for what promises to be a very busy travel season. You have a route to Hawaii that banks you serious cash. But you have to cancel all your flights there this year. Why? Fuel prices? Jets? Route logistics? Nope. People. Specifically, pilots. I'm told they are pretty important to that whole flying thing. This summer, airlines will pay for it big time. But no business is immune to these challenges. People ops is essential to the operation of any business. It's time for the function to be integrated into the organization with the same rigor as the rest of the operations function. Music by Bonkers Beat Club, “Fifteen on Me.”
After Q4's record $10.9 billion Work Tech investment, Q1 was going to be hard-pressed to beat that number — and it didn't. When the books closed on Q1 2022, Work Tech investment was down 23% to $8.209 billion, which ended a streak of eight quarter-to-quarter Work Tech investment increases. Still, Q1 2022 was the second-best Work Tech investment quarter of all time, and a 91% increase from Q1 2021. And with the deals closed year-to-date, 2022 has already surpassed 2020 for the second-best Work Tech investment quarter ever. Music by Bonkers Beat Club, “Fifteen on Me.”
So, ransomware gangs have HR too, eh? It seems a business is a business is a business. Not sure how to feel about this, but a series of document leaks reveal operational details about the Russian ransomware gang known as Conti, as well as what's perceived as its most prized possession of all: Its HR department details. The messages show that Conti operates much like a regular company, with an HR department, bonuses, performance reviews, and even employees of the month. All we can wonder is — what Work Tech platform do they use? Steve's assuming it isn't Kronos. Are they on a single platform? Or do they take a best-of-breed approach? Are its HR leaders SHRM certified? There's a lot to wonder about here. So that's what Steve was reading this weekend. Music by Bonkers Beat Club, “Fifteen on Me.”
As someone working in Work Tech, how worried should you be about the macro-economic outlook? The reason we ask is the appearance of a TechCrunch article wondering aloud if it is time to start worrying about startup layoffs. It's a fair question. The Ukraine war grinds on, adding to economic uncertainty. The Fed is raising interest rates and ratchets up the prospect of a recession. Inflation has proven to be non-transitory. The global supply chain continues to be disrupted. We continue to experience the tightest job market ever. There are a lot of storm clouds out there. However, there are also lots of reasons to be positive. The underlying fundamentals of Work Tech remain strong. As the books close on Q1, the $8.125 billion in Work Tech investment may be a 25% decrease from Q4's all-time record $10.9 billion, but it's still up 86% from Q1 2021. Also, deal volume was at an all-time high — 202 deals, up 35% from Q4. And mega-deals keep coming, like Bay Area startup Remote. They power payroll and HR for distributed global workforces, and just raised $300 million from Softbank. TL;DR: It's too early to panic. Music by Bonkers Beat Club. “Fifteen on Me.”
The pandemic seems to continually find new ways to challenge business strategies and thwart planning efforts. Then the Russian invasion of Ukraine has set the world — and your employees — on edge in a completely different way. Through it all, we persevere. With good fortune and the right mindset, we even thrive. This week, we look at how companies are thriving in different ways, all navigating the waters and finding the best boats for themselves, including a focus on abundance rather than scarcity or limitations.

The return of employee engagement. Thought you were done with that, eh? Well, buckle up. We have a new hot take. We've all spent the past two years obsessing over the Employee Experience (EX) and how to improve it. While everyone was scrambling to improve EX, Gallup's research showed that Employee Engagement dipped for the first time in a decade amid rising hiring and retention challenges. Fortunately, there's no shortage of solutions dialed in on Employee Engagement for today's complex reality. Starting with the 2022 Employee Engagement Market Map, The Starr Conspiracy is launching a new series of Market Maps over the next year to help you make sense of it all.

Yosef Haddad and Emily Schrader educate the world and rebut the lies told about the State of Israel. They're an Israeli couple who are engaged to be married, but that doesn't mean they're a Jewish couple. Yoseph is an Arab Israeli from Nazareth while Emily, who's Jewish is originally from Seattle, Washington in the US. They are both implacably committed to the Jewish and democratic State of Israel. Yoseph volunteered three years of his life to serve in the IDF (in the elite Golani battalion) and Emily made Aliyah when she was 23. They are highly regarded throughout the world for confronting the misinformation that libels the Jewish state in media, parliaments and educational elites every day. They came to London, where they met the Israeli ambassador, Tzipi Hotovely and headed to London's Speaker's Corner to take on antizionists and terrorist supporters. They then flew to Ireland and Yoseph spoke in the Irish parliament.  This is an in-depth conversation in which we talk movingly about Yoseph's army service and how the 2 million Arabs in Israel are not all Palestinians, as the media constantly simplifies. Far from it. Emily slams the Amnesty International report which dubs Israel an “apartheid state” and how their relationship represents a part of what Israel is about, Jewish and democratic. This episode also includes audio comment from Jason Greenblatt, Colonel Richard Kemp, Dr Nachman Shai and Professor Gerald Steinberg, all of whom have spoken exclusively to me in previous episodes. Today's intro theme tune is Slap Weh by Lou Ricard and the outro, Love is Love by Bonkers Beat Club. Jonny Gould's Jewish State is supported by UK Toremet.

Jeff and Melissa take their time going through the couple's quiz and discussing the answers. The audience will enjoy a peek behind the curtain as Jeff is able to let down his guard and truly have a fun and relaxing time as the host. They have a lot of laughs, talk about a ton of important issues in the world today, and only brag about their kids a little bit. There is a lot of local shout outs in this episode, so if you hear us talk about you, say hi back! Thank you to my wife Melissa, not only for being the guest this week, but for supporting me while I make this podcast week-after-week. In fact, as I type this, she is inside wrangling kids and keep everything in order, as she does. Have a happy Valentine's Day everybody. ......................................................................................................................

From loss, conspiracy theories, femicide, lockdown, to 'stolen' elections, PPE corruption and remote church, 2020 felt like it was one of those years you'd rather forget. Remembering can be painful, but there are a few things that happened in 2020 we should probably revisit, and a few things we may need to remember moving forward as we try to make sense of what we just went through and look ahead to our post-2020 life.

Chapter 3: The gang steals the Booty and heads deep into the Sea of Inequity in search of their old ship...and an old crew-mate Twenty years ago, we played a game. We recorded that game and shared it over the airwaves of our high school radio station, WKEY AM 1360. People listened. So did other things. Twenty years later, we were invited to play a live reunion show for the hardcore fans. Little did we know, this time the game was real. For our first Dead Ghost production, we are diving into Rowan, Rook and Decard's fantasy horror game: DIE RPG. In DIE RPG you play a group of real-world, deeply-flawed adults who are transported into a fantasy realm via a predatory, sinister roleplaying game. There, they're transformed into Paragons and given strange and frightening powers. In this world, the players are confronted with their truest desires and deepest fears, and only they can decide when the game is over. Players will take on the role of the show's cast and supporters, creating Personas (the real-world person that each player—including the GM—plays) and Paragons (The six types of adventurers a Persona can be transformed into when they enter the world of DIE).
