That's cause for a celebration.Ryan Steck, also known as The Real Book Spy, is an author and thriller junkie behind the pen on the latest Hawke thriller. Having been a massive Hawke fan himself, Steck was also a good personal friend to the late Ted Bell, and there was nobody better to pick up the mantle and continue the legacy after Bell's passing. Considered one of the hardest-working people in publishing, Steck built the most trusted source in literary fiction in The Real Book Spy from the ground up, turning it from a simple blog to a million+ viewed website per year, and the go-to source for all the breaking news in fiction publishing.Byrdie Bell is the daughter of the late legend Ted Bell and an avid Hawk advocate, amongst juggling life as a mother, actress, and model. Bell appeared in Rolling Stones' Shine a Light by Martin Scorsese, as well as the Israeli version of Big Brother. At age 18 Byrdie began modeling, appearing in numerous publications including Bloomingdale's and Club Monaco. Byrdie is the descendent of Colonel William Byrd II, the founder of Richmond, Virginia.The late Ted Bell was Vice-Chairman of the Board and World-Wide Creative Director for Young & Rubicam, one of the world's largest advertising agencies. Before becoming a novelist Bell was President and Chief Creative Officer of Leo Brunett Company. Bell also served as a member on the DOCA Committee for the US Department of Defense, and as an advisor to the Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy at the US Department of State.Bell wrote 12 novels in the Lord Alexander Hawke series before his unfortunate death in 2023. MONARCH, penned by Ryan Steck his long-time editor and friend, is entry number 13 in the Hawke series and a remarkable, gripping, and adventurous tale to get readers back into the legendary series that the late Bell started.Find More at: TheRealBookSpy.com and TedBell.com

What can we learn from one of the most complex AI projects in any museum today?  What is the history of AI in museums? Can we add AI to our experiences without a complete renovation? How do you teach an AI about 775 different football teams? How can AI put visitors literally into a story? Is AI accurate enough for a museum? What about bias? Doesn't AI take away jobs? And how do you specify exactly what shade of college football orange you want to an AI — if you can only use words? Kimberly Beaudin (CEO, College Football Hall of Fame) and Geoff Thatcher (Founder & Chief Creative Officer, Creative Principals) discuss “A Museum Transformed with AI” with host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners | The Exhibition and Experience Design Studio). Along the way: Hypercinema, Salvador Dalí, and net promoter scores.

What makes people want to go to museum? How can they ensure they still remain relevant? I spend a lot of my time in museums.  They inspire me, inform me and put me into mindsets I wouldn't otherwise be in.  So I wanted to learn more about them.Episode Summary On this episode, I sit down with Matthew McNerney, Chief Creative Officer of Luci Creative, to explore the hidden psychology behind museum design. Matthew has worked on everything from the Lego House in Denmark to presidential libraries, science museums, and even the NASCAR Hall of Fame.Together, we dive into the ways museum spaces are meticulously crafted to shape how we learn, feel, and interact with history, culture, and ideas. We also discuss the challenges museums face today—from declining visitor numbers to evolving audience expectations—and what it takes to design experiences that are both educational and entertaining.Along the way, Matthew shares fascinating insights from his career, from how a single professor changed the trajectory of his life to the unexpected lessons learned from working on hospital play spaces. If you've ever been inspired by a museum visit or wondered why some exhibits engage while others fall flat, this conversation is for you.Guest Biography: Matthew McNerney Matthew McNerney is the Chief Creative Officer at Luci Creative, a museum and brand experience design firm that works at the intersection of curiosity and change. His work spans a vast array of projects, from designing experiences for the Lego House in Billund, Denmark, to working on presidential libraries, science museums, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Matthew's career in museum design began in an unexpected way — he originally considered becoming a wedding designer before a professor introduced him to the world of exhibition design.Since then, he has spent over 20 years in the field, crafting experiences that spark curiosity and create lasting impressions. His work is deeply influenced by behavioral science, storytelling, and the psychology of engagement, all of which help him transform physical spaces into immersive learning environments.Beyond museums, Matthew has also worked on brand experiences, including designing retail environments for New Balance and flagship stores for Tiffany & Co. His expertise lies in creating multisensory experiences that connect people with content in compelling ways. AI-Generated Timestamped Summary[00:00:00] Introduction[00:01:00] Introducing Matthew McNerney and his work in museum design[00:02:00] How Matthew got into museum design—pivoting from wedding planning[00:06:00] The role of museums in shaping collective memory and conversatio[00:08:00] How museums balance education and entertainment[00:11:00] The variety of projects Matthew has worked on, from LEGO to NASCAR[00:14:00] The complexity of designing exhibits that engage diverse audiences[00:17:00] Museums as the most trusted institutions—but with declining attendance[00:19:00] Competing for attention: Museums vs. other forms of entertainment[00:24:00] The challenges of working with subject-matter experts and overcoming "the curse of passion"[00:29:00] The Mona Lisa effect—why some artworks become pilgrimage sites[00:32:00] Designing for different visitor experiences and expectations[00:37:00] Using behavioral science to map visitor engagement strategies[00:40:00] The hidden barriers that stop people from visiting museums[00:45:00] The challenge of curating history while staying objective[00:50:00] Creating curiosity: Making museums a launchpad for deeper exploration[00:53:00] How Lego taught Matthew a lesson about designing for engagement[00:55:00] Gamifying museum experiences—how the Cleveland Museum of Art makes learning fun[00:57:00] The risks and security challenges of modern museum spaces[01:00:00] Matthew's favorite museum recommendations[01:02:00] Where to find Matthew's work and final thoughtsLinks & ReferencesLuci Creative – https://lucicreative.com/Matthew McNerney's Website – https://matthewmcnerney.com/Lego House, Billund, Denmark – https://www.legohouse.com/Tenement Museum, New York – https://www.tenement.org/Micropia, Amsterdam – https://www.micropia.nl/en/Cleveland Museum of Art – ArtLens Exhibit – https://www.clevelandart.org/artlens-galleryPrevious episode of the show featuring Professor Tom Schössler talking about museum innovation - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/professor-tom-schossler-on-deploying/
