Set against the backdrop of a historic time in Métis history, a young boy's disappearance begins a tense story of justice and defiance in Métis author Blair Palmer Yoxall's debut novel, “Treat Them as Buffalo“. It all takes place during the 1885 Northwest Resistance — a conflict between Métis and the Canadian federal government. When those entrusted to enforce the law turn a blind eye to a disturbing trend of disappearing Indigenous boys, the community members must take things in their own hands. The account is told from the perspective of young Niko, who comes to realize the difficult world of injustice his people are forced to endure. Dubbed an “anti-Western” by the author, it is both triumphant and tragic in its depiction of a time when the conquest of Indigenous peoples were celebrated as progress. Blair Palmer Yoxall joins us for our next Native Bookshelf discussion.

Elena Setién and Black Duck's Bill MacKay and Douglas McCombs are here to discuss their self-titled debut album, their history as collaborators, Douglas' recent travels with Tortoise, BASIC, and Yr Knives, the role improvisation and composition plays in their respective and collaborative work, the significance of musical intuition and listening, why Elena was keen to learn more about Native American and Indigenous history and how her lyrics may reflect that knowledge, thoughts about their next record together, which I may or may not be executive producing, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.EVERY OTHER COMPLETE KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO PATREON SUPPORTERS STARTING AT $6/MONTH.

In this episode host Brett King and Paolo Sironi, host of Breaking Banks’ sister podcast The Bankers’ Bookshelf, speak with Pal Krogdahl, author of Rip Out the Core—an essential guide for anyone wrestling with the stubborn realities of banking core modernization. Despite massive investments, many institutions still face overruns, delays, and outcomes that leave them no stronger than before. Sparked by a flooded kitchen that perfectly mirrored the chaos of real-world banking transformation programs, Pal's book shifts the lens from pure technology to organization, showing that lasting change is impossible without adapting how people work. Pal speaks to banking executives and transformation leaders tired of endless patching, converting hard-won industry experience into precise, actionable steps that finally deliver meaningful business value. Join as the trio unpack why core modernization so often fails, how organizational design must evolve alongside systems, and the practical path to progress that stops the cycle of frustration once and for all.

You can't force a child to make you their mentor. They choose. And most of us are quietly spending that choice on being right. That's the argument in Hold On to Your Kids by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Mate, and it's the book two dads in this community keep coming back to. In this Bookshelf, they take it from both ends. John Berardi makes the case that a child is always looking for someone to guide them through life, and that they get to pick who. You can make a kid put on clothes. You can take things away. But you cannot make them choose you as the one they learn from, which is why the attachment has to come before the discipline. And if they don't pick you, they'll pick their peers, sometimes as early as nine. His warning about the book is worth hearing too: it's long, and the practical payoff is in the last few chapters. Hal Elrod brings the one line he pulled straight out of the book and taped to his fridge, where it's stayed for two years: prioritize the relationship with your child above correcting their behavior. Most of us correct constantly, and we do it at the expense of the bond. Yelling doesn't build influence, it spends it. So he bites his tongue and asks what matters more right now: the relationship or catching them doing something wrong. Nine times out of ten, it's the relationship. He also names the trap on the other side: you threaten, they comply, you feel like you won, and that short-term victory quietly costs you the long game.   IN THIS EPISODE: Why a child chooses who leads them, and why you can't force it Attachment before discipline: the book's core argument What happens if they don't pick you (peers, sometimes by nine years old) Leadership by example instead of authority, and why "good kids who follow every rule" isn't the goal The paragraph on Hal's fridge: relationship above correction Why yelling diminishes your influence instead of building it The short-term compliance trap, and what it costs you later Berardi's honest warning about reading the book  

Adam Goren and Brian Sokel from Dead Best are back to discuss GOD: Out of Order, the recent episode I did with !franklin and that band's status, how Dead Best have evolved as a recording and live music concern, playing music with your kids and why so many young people seem to be so darn good at their instruments now days, thinking about Public Image Ltd., Pailhead, and Lard, a good Nine Inch Nails song appearing on an episode of Twin Peaks, some surprising song subject matter, order and chaos, potentially playing shows, other future plans, and much more.EVERY OTHER COMPLETE KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO PATREON SUPPORTERS STARTING AT $6/MONTH.

Have you ever wished you could listen in on a real decorating coaching call? Today's episode is exactly that. I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look inside one of our LIVE Q&A sessions from The Collective, where members bring their real homes, real decorating dilemmas, and real questions. No perfectly staged rooms—just practical solutions that help you make confident decorating decisions. In this episode, we're tackling questions like: How do you style bookshelves so they look collected instead of cluttered? Should you paint your brick fireplace...or leave it alone? What's the best size and placement for an area rug? How do you know if your window treatments are helping—or hurting—your room? If you've ever wrestled with any of those questions, chances are you'll hear an answer that applies to your home too. ✨✨ This is also your last call. ✨✨ As you've probably heard me mention over the last couple of weeks, the way I work with clients is changing this fall. That means The Collective and Decorating SOS Calls are available at their current pricing for the last time. Through July 26th, you can: ✨ Join The Collective for just $12/month. ✨ Book a Decorating SOS Call for $127 The best value? Do both! If you're ready to make real progress in your home, my favorite recommendation is to join The Collective and add the Decorating SOS Call as the bump offer. You'll get ongoing decorating support every month plus a private one-on-one coaching session where we can solve your biggest decorating challenge together—for just $77. Honestly, it's the closest thing to having me sitting beside you as we make decisions for your home. This pathway to working together won't exist this way after this month, so if you've been thinking, "Maybe someday..."consider this your invitation to make today that day. I can't wait to welcome you inside.   // Links mentioned in show: // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/decorating-sos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group
