It starts with a handful of seeds.When Mission Partners' design director Anne Kerns shows up at a civic rally with paper packets filled with flowers, herbs, and vegetables, she's there to share. To spark a conversation. To see what happens when you hand a stranger something living. That image—Anne with her seeds—is at the heart of this week's conversation. Because design, as she tells Carrie Fox, isn't only what you make; it's what you grow. It's an act of attention, of cultivating curiosity in yourself and in others.From the geometry of a Frank Lloyd Wright logo at Wingspread to the exacting hues of red that pulse with both passion and danger, Anne reveals the hidden life inside design decisions most of us overlook. Every line has intention. Every color has memory. Every choice says something about who we are and what we value.Together, Carrie and Anne trace the invisible thread between creativity and community: how a refreshed logo can honor history without erasing it, how accessibility transforms good design into inclusive communication, how technology—from PageMaker 1.0 to AI—tests our understanding of what it means to create with soul.In the end, Anne circles back to red—the color she's loved since childhood, the color that announces her presence to the world. For her, design isn't a product; it's a legacy of connection. The mark we leave behind isn't ink or pixels—it's how we made others feel seen.

If it seems like discussions about the state of the world seem to turn ugly lately, listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast! Host Elizabeth Cush talks about what's behind the divisiveness and how to start healing.“I don't have to be friends with someone who I disagree with, but I can see them as a person with their own struggles, with their own fears, with their own beliefs.” — Biz CushWhat happened to the “good old days” when we could just agree to disagree? Instead, it seems, people today divide the world into “us” versus “them”—whether it's by race, religion, political party or even lifestyle choices. So many of us tend to lump anyone who experiences the world in a way that we don't into the category of “other.” It's easy to dismiss “others as less moral, less informed, less than…. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, talks about some of the roots of conflict in today's world, how sensitive women can navigate a fraught political climate with integrity, and how to take steps toward finding the peace and compassion that can help heal community. Circle of Sacred Sensitivity MembershipFind the full show notes and resources here.Support the show

Send us a textWhat if your worth came before your work—and that changed everything about how you lead, sell, and show up? We sit down with JMAG's Chief Branding Officer, Craig Felker, to unpack “wild leadership,” a simple framework that starts with identity and turns it into action: know your worth, initiate brave conversations, lead with energy that gives more than it takes, and dare to dream bigger than what's comfortable.From the Shed Expo floor to everyday lot life, we explore culture as a practical business strategy. Craig breaks down how JMAG's family-first values shaped a booth experience people couldn't stop talking about—ice-cold drinks, a family zone, and the Gravity Grab that sparked real conversations without a hard sell. We dig into disruptive marketing that actually fits: define who you are, then create moments and media that express it. That's how a rap video about 16” on center (“Flawless”) turned core values—approachable, best-in-class—into shareable momentum. Some loved it, some didn't, everyone noticed.We also go personal. Jared shares a sobriety-driven “honesty tour” that reset priorities, deepened partnerships, and brought purpose back to the work. We talk faith, authenticity, and why vulnerability isn't a tactic but a trust engine. Along the way, the Savannah Bananas show up as a playbook for reimagining “boring” categories: test boldly, keep what works, and be relentlessly present—on your lot, online, and in your community.By the end, we're looking ahead: sharpening short-form vertical content, widening the audience beyond sheds and steel while staying true to a service-first mission, and building relationships that last. If you're a builder, dealer, or leader who wants to stand out without selling out, this conversation will give you clarity, courage, and a few ideas you can ship by Friday.

Midweek Check-in! Feeling disconnected? You're not alone. Nathan tackles a crucial question in today's YouTube Short: "I am an adult with no community. How do I build community?" He shares practical, step-by-step advice on making genuine connections. Watch now and take the first step!

What happens when a community refuses to let its story be told from the outside in? In this conversation, Carrie Fox sits down with Lisa Snowden, Editor-in-Chief of Baltimore Beat, to explore what it means to build journalism as a thriving business model and an act of community care. Born out of the ashes of the Baltimore City Paper and shaped by the unrest following Freddie Gray's death, Baltimore Beat has never been about neutrality—it has been about presence, about listening, and about amplifying voices too often ignored.Lisa traces her journey from courtroom reporter to newsroom leader, revealing how perspective and personal truth can reshape the role of journalism itself. She describes the radical choices that have guided the Beat: shifting from for-profit to nonprofit after early financial collapse, accepting a transformative million-dollar grant at the height of the pandemic, and creating “beat boxes” that don't just hold newspapers but double as neighborhood resource hubs. Inside those boxes, you'll now find Narcan, notebooks, water bottles, or even hand warmers—small objects that together become an expression of community solidarity.Even the act of delivering the paper has become something larger than distribution. By replacing outside delivery contractors with local community members—drivers who know every street and corner—the Beat stumbled into a model of journalism that is participatory, intimate, and trusted. Today, those same drivers are welcomed by shopkeepers and seniors waiting for the latest issue, reinforcing a sense of belonging that no algorithm or national newsroom can replicate.What emerges from Lisa's story is a portrait of local journalism as a lifeline. In her telling, journalism cannot be sterile or detached. It must be human. It must show up. And in the Beat's case, it must be willing to save lives, as when a box outside their office provided the Narcan that brought a neighbor back from an overdose. This is the work of journalism that doesn't just inform a city—it sustains it. And it is proof that local news is not dying, but thrives in reinventing itself as the heartbeat of a community.

Have a listen to this episode of the Life and Listings podcast as Jennifer Staats breaks down how to plan and host yearly community or sphere-of-influence events without the stress. From seasonal gatherings like Easter egg hunts and holiday parties to practical and cost-effective ideas such as shredding days, supply drives, and safety workshops, you'll learn how to create repeatable systems, track ROI, and maximize engagement. Jennifer also shares a free downloadable playbook packed with templates and SOPs to help you run smooth, budget-friendly, and impactful events year after year. Don't miss this episode filled with actionable strategies to make your events more effective and rewarding.   “After that event wraps up, I want you to pause and I want you to reflect on what worked and what didn't. So you can repeat that if it really worked. You can repeat these over and over again, and these events are going to become more effective, less costly, and you're going to get a higher return on investment.”   Check out these highlights from the discussion: Plan for Repeatability – When hosting an event, design it with the intention of repeating it yearly. Systems, templates, and documentation make it easier, more cost-effective, and more impactful over time. Start Small with Anchor Events – Focus on one to four recurring anchor events each year, such as seasonal celebrations, family-oriented activities, or community-based gatherings, to build consistency and engagement. Engagement Over Expense – Choose events that allow genuine interaction (e.g., barbecues, outdoor movies, safety workshops, or pet contests) rather than focusing on large budgets. Track Budget and ROI – Always record expenses, attendance, and outcomes. Tracking allows you to evaluate success, cut costs in future years, and measure the return on investment. Use Checklists and SOPs – Create a standardized checklist and document your processes (e.g., vendors, supplies, logistics) to streamline event planning and avoid repetitive mistakes. Reflect and Optimize – After each event, assess what worked and what didn't. Apply these insights to refine future events, making them easier to run, more effective, and more rewarding.

In this episode of #SundayCivics, our civics teacher and neighborhood political strategist L. Joy is solo at the front of the class to reflect on one of the most essential tools in our civic toolbox: community. Inspired by her husband's heartfelt question- “How do I build community?”—she invites us to grapple with the same challenge. Through personal stories, historical examples, and practical guidance, L. Joy shows that community isn't about hashtags, perfection, or titles. It's about showing up, listening, sharing the work, and staying consistent—even when only a handful of people are in the room. She grounds her lessons in Black history, lifting up the citizenship schools of Septima Clark and Dorothy Cotton, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and the traditions of barbershops, beauty salons, and kitchen tables that have long been sites of organizing and power-building.

I've definitely had my moments of feeling lonely in London. Loneliness abroad can feel discouraging, but it's not proof you made a mistake by moving. It's a natural part of adjusting to a new country, and with time, effort, and connection, it becomes easier to manage. You just have to put in effort to get out and meet new people!I've lived abroad for four years now, and I've experienced both sides of the social spectrum. There were seasons where loneliness hit hard. And there were other times where my calendar was so full that I couldn't take on new friendships.If you're moving abroad—or already living abroad—loneliness is part of the journey. It doesn't mean you made the wrong decision. It just means you're human, and you're navigating a big transition.In this episode, we'll look at why loneliness abroad feels so intense, the main causes behind it, and the practical strategies you can use to cope and build community.

How do we truly build community through food? In this episode of Eating at a Meeting, I'm joined by two inspiring professionals—Jenny Ng, Event Planning Senior Manager at National Co-op Kosher, and Rachel, General Manager & Food and Beverage Director at a locally-focused hotel restaurant—to unpack this very question. Fresh from my presentation at MPI Minnesota, we dive into what it means to connect people using food and beverage, and how thoughtful sourcing, labeling, and inclusive practices translate into memorable, meaningful events. Jenny shares how her team champions dietary inclusivity and sustainability—think robust labeling, creative themed menus, and even mocktail alternatives, so every attendee feels seen and served. Rachel offers her perspective from the hotel and restaurant world, where managing without a banquet manager means she wears all the hats—and why knowledge, training, and local partnerships are critical to crafting a welcoming dining experience for all. Together, we discuss practical tips—from putting detailed menus on conference apps to advocating for your attendees' dietary needs and pushing back on venues when needed. We reminisce about the power of themed events, the role of childhood hospitality lessons, and the joy of a well-made mocktail. Plus, you'll hear our wish lists for the future of catered food functions—more variety, more transparency, and more community at every table. Give it a listen—and let's keep building community, one shared meal at a time.

In this episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed sits down with Marilynn Joyner, a former commercial real estate exec turned tech founder, to unpack her journey from corporate intensity to building Her Workplace, an AI-powered career platform designed for ambitious Gen Z and millennial women. Key Highlights: A Career on Her Terms: Marilynn's early career in commercial real estate exposed her to a male-dominated, competitive culture. Despite early success, she realized she was following rules she didn't create and sought more autonomy and purpose. The Pivot Point: While attending Columbia Business School, Marilynn's experiences, coupled with the pandemic slowdown. sparked her entrepreneurial journey. A side project, mentorship from a startup founder, and workplace burnout fueled her desire to create something new. Finding the Gap: Through conversations with friends and peers, she discovered a lack of career resources and support for mid-career women, those not yet in the C-suite but striving for leadership. This white space became the inspiration for Her Workplace. From Idea to Impact: What began with 7 in-person events and a waitlist of 5,000 women turned into a full-fledged membership platform that now includes networking, mentorship, coaching, and AI-powered tools. AI for Human Connection: Her Workplace uses AI to match members with mentors, peers, and career resources, making career growth more personalized—and more human. “The mission of Her Workplace has always been to help women grow into leadership and enact change in their own careers, and now we're using tech to accelerate that.” Connect with Marilynn Website Company Instagram Marilynn's Instagram Connect with Nancy LinkedIn  Instagram Website

“The hardest thing about building a community is making sure that you've tapped into a transition that people have and are navigating so that they actually want to build relationships with each other.”As a speaker, building your authority goes beyond what you say on stage, it's all about how you connect with your audience afterward. This week, Gina Bianchini, founder and CEO of Mighty Networks, joins us to reveal why community-building is the next essential step in growing your influence and credibility. With a passion for transforming one-time talks into ongoing relationships, Gina shares practical ways to move your audience from passive listeners to active participants, showing that genuine engagement starts when you help people connect with each other and not just with your content.Additionally, Gina gets real about the challenges of staying inspired in the middle of burnout and business setbacks, offering refreshing advice on reinventing your approach and leading with purpose. Gina believes that the true mark of a leader isn't just expertise, it's creating spaces where others can grow, learn, and thrive together.
