In this episode of Healthy Family Project, we talk to Richard McCarthy, Meatless Monday Culinary Ambassador, about the importance of family dinner and how families can kick start important conversations at the dinner table.  Richard McCarthy is a community development specialist, whose quest for behavior change always puts carrots ahead of sticks. In 2005, he developed one of the nation’s first farmers market incentive programs to promote local vegetable consumption among SNAP consumers in New Orleans.  Based in Brooklyn, NY, he spends hours in the kitchen with his wife and daughter exploring the traditional knowledge of global cuisines that take ordinary and affordable ingredients to prepare culinary surprises that put vegetables first. An author, broadcaster, and organizer, he values food as the bridge between people.

For more than 120 years, Boston-based Northeastern University has been known for experiential education. A third of the 26,000 enrollments are graduate students served by a network of campuses around the country and a thriving online program. Building on this tradition and footprint, The Northeastern Graduate School of Education has been rethinking educator preparation. In this week’s episode, Tom speaks with two STEM graduates that became teacher educators and — with the backing of Northeastern University — are reinventing preparation. They are Professor Kelly Conn and Professor Cherese Childers-McKee. Professor Kelly Conn has been with Northeastern University for the last eight years. She leads professional development pathways, including a cool program called NExT, which is a global platform of educators connecting practice to more innovative workplace-based learning. Professor Cherese Childers-McKee leads the new Doctor of Education curriculum (which results in a Dissertation in Practice at Northeastern University). The program is for practitioners that want to tackle real problems. It has a strong social justice component that encourages budding leaders to become change agents.   The two professors talk with Tom today and discuss their careers in education; their areas of focus; their ideas and thoughts around experiential learning; project-based learning, and student-centered learning; what and how they teach at Northeastern University; and much more!   Key Takeaways: [:15] About today’s episode. [1:33] Tom welcomes Kelly Conn to the podcast. [1:37] Where Kelly’s love for science came from. [2:26] How and when Kelly made the pivot to becoming a teacher educator. [4:40] Cherese talks about what her early education was like. [5:22] When did Cherese know that she’d be a teacher? [6:28] What was Cherese’s area of focus at UNC Greensboro? [7:36] What drew Cherese to the topic of race relations. [8:40] Kelly explains where Northeastern’s long history of experiential education came from and what it means today. [10:06] Kelly describes the framework for experiential learning and the design principles that are important to her and her colleagues. [11:14] Kelly highlights some of the ideas that are well-aligned with the philosophy at Northeastern. [12:44] Why project-based learning is so important. [14:17] Useful design principles and approaches to project-based learning. [15:18] About NExT — Northeastern University’s Network for Experiential Teaching and Learning. [17:50] Will a certificate be available for Experiential Teaching and Learning? [20:16] Could a school district or network turn this into a series of micro-credentials that could earn a certificate from Northeastern? And could these credentials stack into a Master’s Degree? [22:27] How and why Northeastern is updating its approach to their EdD. program. [24:55] With this program, will it be possible that several people will be able to work simultaneously on a problem, but take a different approach? [26:26] What makes Northeastern University’s education degree programs so unique? [29:52] What attracted Cherese to Northeastern University? [31:26] How online learning with experiential learning work together. [33:44] How this new dissertation and practice are different from how the program used to be. [35:53] Cherese responds to a critique of Doctoral programs and explains how their program is different — allowing students to focus on important and relevant problems. [38:24] Cherese talks about the potential of a team-based EdD., and the collaboration that happens currently at Northeastern.

Today’s episode is all about competency-based education and professional development. Professional development in education is notoriously bad. BloomBoard was co-founded by Jason Lange in 2010 to try to fix the problem by powering the micro-credential revolution. The team behind BloomBoard are dedicated to empowering schools, districts, and states to help meet these needs by providing educators professional learning with purpose. They know how important teachers are to student growth and learning — and through micro-credentials, they can be empowered to take control of their own growth and advancement. Back in November, Tom caught up with Jason at the iNACOL Symposium in Nashville. There, he described the different ways that states are collaborating withBloomBoard to move professional learning to a more personalized and competency-based approach, teacher induction programs, what kinds of micro-credentials exist, and his advice for those who are interested in micro-credentials but have yet to take the leap.   Key Takeaways: [:35] About today’s episode.

Today the Getting Smart team is bringing you a bonus episode! Recently, they got the chance to interview a ton of great people at the recent iNACOL conference and want to bring it to you early as a little holiday gift this season.   In this special bonus episode, Tom interviews Nicole Assisi and Shelly Kurt of Thrive to talk all about how they are building community and doubling proficiency rates for children from low-income neighborhoods.   Nicole and Shelly originally met at a San Diego Starbucks five years ago and went on to create one of the nation’s most thoughtfully design K-12 networks serving diverse low-income neighborhoods — Thrive. From the first napkin of that fateful day, they outlined the key elements that make Thrive so special — project-based, personalized, and social-emotional learning. They wanted to create a place that helps develop good humans that solve problems with discernment, empathy, and agency — and they did. They picked two underserved neighborhoods in east San Diego, City Heights, and Linda Vista, and set to work combine all of these elements that make Thrive so special.   Key Takeaways: [:15] About today’s bonus episode. [1:27] Tom welcomes Nicole and Shelly to the podcast. [1:45] About Nicole’s high school education and early career.

In this episode Amber Hurdle discusses the foundational elements a female entrepreneur needs to know to promote her business to the media. In part one of this three-part series, she outlines exactly what you need to do before ever pitching your product or service to various media outlets.   Know Your Reader: This is foundational. You should know what to say to solve their problems and what motivates them, as well as which outlets they watch, listen to and read. If you can’t tell a media outlet what showcasing what you do or sell will do for their audience THEY WON’T feature you!   Grow Your Squad as Early as Possible   Create Content   Create content to show your expertise and establish authority, as well as show your personality and build trust. You can also test content. Building your OWN content will create a home base (also known as your website) and give you a solid idea of what people respond to. Consider it a smaller test group to prepare you for larger, broader audiences (that you will encounter in new markets via media opportunities) with whom you are not familiar. Not sure how to start your website? Checkout Episode 16 with Anthony Tran here: https://amberhurdle.com/website-design-anthony-tran/   Leverage Social Media   Growing your social media audience and engagement will show media outlets that people already find you interesting, thus increasing your chances of getting picked up for a story.   To learn more specific strategies for social media, be sure to listen to episodes 26: Social Media Strategies and ROI with Brian Boyd and 33: How Social Media Can Drive your Business with Laura Roeder.   Via social media you can share your content, drive traffic back to your website, build your email list, ask questions, show behind the scenes of our company (everyone is at least a little nosey or at least curious) and test content and topics. Be sure to interact with your audience there, not just create posts for the sake of it. As Laura Roeder encourages in episode 33, it is wise to schedule your posts so you can use your social media time actually interacting with your followers.   Just remember that social media is rented property. You do not own your content, nor your audience information, so be sure to direct people back to your website. By directing back to your website you can then grow your email list and talk to your squad right in their inbox. Social media is best used to promote you just like you’d want traditional media to promote you. You don’t get to keep the names and access of the people who watch you on a morning show, and you don’t get to “keep” your Facebook followers, either!   Set Promotion Goals   When investing your time, energy, money or other resources you want to be sure you know why you’re doing it...and if you’re in business...hint: it should turn green in the end. If you are just stroking your ego, your business will not prosper from it. Sample goals include:   -Building a media foundation for future promotions -Selling your product or service -Gaining credibility or authority to build your brand recognition (and then ultimately your sales)   Then, you have to decide what success looks like to you. How will you know you’re successful? Television coverage? A local newspaper article? Blogs galore? Podcast coverage? Spell it out so you know what you are working towards and whether or not your efforts are effective. And name that end game, too! How will it eventually turn green? You should be able to fill in these blanks: I want to ________ so that I can _______.   Set Media Wish List   Be realistic about who will have interest in your business, but be brave and stretch yourself. Go where your audience is! Ideas include:   -Local/regional newspapers -Magazines (local, regional and national) -Television (local, regional and national) -Radio (local, regional and national or syndicated) -New Media like You Tube, blogs, podcasts   Make friends with producers and reporters on social media. Share their content. Respond to HARO (https://www.helpareporter.com/) inquiries and be helpful. Show interest in their current pieces before you expect them to cover your business.   Determine Your Media Coverage Timing   Back into your launch date, then determine when you need to pitch longer lead outlets (like magazines), shorter lead outlets (like television or podcasts) or in the moment opportunities (like news-relevant coverage or with bloggers who may not have a content calendar planned well in advance).   With these foundational elements figured out, you can take the next step in executing an awesome media plan! Of course, be sure to tune into the next episode to find out exactly what to do next.   In the meantime, check out my media page (amberhurdle.com/media) to get an idea of the various ways you can be covered.   Also, be sure to come see me at my next author event at Parnassus Books in Nashville! I’d love to meet you in person! And if I’m not candy enough, Parnassus Books is co-owned by novelist Ann Patchett and her business partner, Karen Hayes. No big deal. An independent bookstore owned by two women, one of whom is a New York Times best selling author and the other, a publishing industry vet.   By attending (and buying a book from them), you will support me, an independent/local retailer AND other female entrepreneurs! (I plan to do some giveaways, too!) Don't miss it!   Details can be found on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/144590159539938/.   To learn more about The Bombshell Business Woman visit thebombshellbusinesswoman.com.  

  I have a unique opportunity right now. I am overseeing the repurposing of an elementary school that was originally built in the 60's. It is now becoming an education training center. The other day, I peered into one of the old classrooms and it was empty- completely empty. No desks, tables, chairs, closets, bookcases, bulletin boards, whiteboards, shades, blinds, cabinets, or sinks. Nothing. Bare walls. No carpeting. Nothing. Seeing the empty space it made me think...what would I want to put in this physical space. It was overwhelming at first but then my brain started working. Today the show is about what you would put in the physical space. By the way, I ask you to forget technology right now and just focus on the furniture. So what would be important to you if a magic genie came along and gave you three wishes to fill this room to get ready to work with the kids?  What would you wish for? Thanks for listening.

On this episode of Gritty Bowmen we meet with Aron’s long-time friend, Marc Smith, AKA The Muley Slayer. According to Aron, “Marc has killed more things than small pox.” Marc’s main focus is on hunting Mule deer although he is excited to get to hunt Elk this year. We also talk about judging yardage and whether or not it’s ethical to not use a range finder. Checkout Episode 102 to see more backstory of Muley Slayer, Marc Smith. He gives us a glimpse of a less experienced Aron Snyder and how he first cut his teeth on Colorado mule deer. And Aron shares some great stories from their past.

Download Episode! In today's episode, I continue the journey into change that began in Episode 5.  Once again, we dive into the Transtheoretical Model of Change, this time talking about the second stage of change, Contemplation.  Previously, I talked about how this is a process,  often occurring over a series of stages.  Each stage brings us closer to being the change we hope to see.  In the last episode, we discussed pre-contemplation, the first stage in change.  Today, we talk about Contemplation. Through this 25 minute journey, I define what the Contemplation stage is.  Together, we look at what separates this stage from pre-contemplation.  I discuss ways to identify that one is moving from pre-contemplation into contemplation.  Finally, I look at some of the various strategies to move the journey forward from contemplation toward planning and eventual action to make that change.  Along the way, I share first hand experience and anecdotes from my journey and where I have been. Remember, change is not exclusively weight or diet related.  It can be any habit that we feel holds us from achieving our dreams and being the best version of ourselves.  I encourage all of you to join me on the journey.  I invite all of you to welcome change into your life.  Together, we can explore how we can propel ourselves into the future that we want for ourselves.   Finally, we can break down barriers that have held us in place and kept us comfortable, yet stagnant.  As a result, we can see our lives blossom in ways we never thought imaginable. Once again, I thank you all for being a part of this journey with me.  I welcome your feedback and topic suggestions.  It is my sincerest hope that you find meaning in what I share with you, and that it too helps you grow.  Thanks again for listening, Episode 8 will be coming on December 15th!!

(https://radioarizonarv.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/marshall-excel-changeover-reg.gif) This is Part 1 of the LP Fitting episodes. The point of this episode is to help RV’ers to keep safety at the forefront when repairing their LP system. The proper tools should always be used along with properly checking for leaks after any repair that is done. The simple way is to use the liquid leak detector that bubbles up. You can buy it ready made or make your own with dish soap and water. It is also important to buy quality LP Hoses and Regulators! I recommend that you only buy LP Hoses and Regulators that are made by companies that specialize in LP Hoses and Accessories. There is some Junk on the market and I would recommend that you avoid any LP Hoses and Regulators that are made by companies that make dish drainers, toilet chemicals and other non-LP related products. Safety First! This episode brings attention to replacing an Auto Change Over Regulator that is mostly found on Trailers with 2 LP Tanks. It also delves into some basics when replacing a regulator and some things that should be done at the same time such as, replacing the Propane Hoses. It adds to the cost but, it just makes the job complete. I explain in some detail about LP fittings that are found on RV and how to seal them properly. Listen Now to Hear the Details! Check Out Episode 23 for More Information on Fittings and Adapters. This link will will open a Catalog with all of the common Propane Fittings, Adapters and LP Hoses for Recreational Vehicles and Travel Trailers.  LP Fitting and Adapter Catalog (https://radioarizonarv.com/images/LPFittingCatalog.pdf) Check Out Arizona RV Parts Center for LP Fittings and Accessories.
