“What we restore restores us, what we revitalize revitalizes us.” Storm Cunningham For communities to remain stable and thrive, effort needs to be directed towards strengthening and diversifying the existing elements. However, most communities struggle with community development projects due to a lack of understanding of and failure to integrate processes in their implementation. Our guest today, Storm Cunningham has decades of experience working in community development initiatives across the world and reiterates the importance of creating processes that guide these initiatives as well as having people who can facilitate the processes. Based in Washington DC for the past 30 years, Storm primarily focuses on the three areas which include  Community renewal, nature restoration and climate resilience. He is also an author of three books his latest release being ‘Reconomics,' and does inspirational talks and how-to workshops for non-profits & governments worldwide.  A former Green Beret, his hard-hitting, humorous, silo-busting talks can focus on multiple areas including water, housing, job growth, energy, transportation, agriculture, natural resources, downtowns, brownfields, heritage, climate, social justice or education. In today's episode, Storm will talk about what makes sustainable communities especially the initiatives that ensure resilience and revitalization. He will also highlight the principles that ensure the minimum viable process when carrying out community initiatives.   Listen in!    Social Media: https://reconomics.org/    https://www.linkedin.com/in/restorm   https://twitter.com/restorm   https://www.facebook.com/storm.cunningham   https://www.patreon.com/stormcunningham   https://stormcunningham.com/ One thing I've learned is that most communities need to be shocked big time everywhere you go. [3:32] Communities have revitalization and resilience initiatives underway but hardly anybody is accomplishing anywhere near what they're hoping to accomplish. [3:46] One of the most common reasons is that most communities suffer from perpetual planning syndrome. [4:41] Some communities have dedicated leaders who are honestly trying to revitalize or become more resilient but don't know how since they've gotten no training in this. [6:18] They're no real degrees and how to revitalize but you can more reliably manage emergent complexities if you have an actual process. [6:32] The world knows you need a process to reliably produce anything but the people who run communities don't seem to know that. [7:10] The focus of my most recent book, ‘Reconomics,' is that process. [7:24] I've spent the last 20 years tracking down exactly what is the minimum viable process that needs to be in place in a community to reliably produce revitalization or resilience? [7:29] Most places are good at projects and most do succeed but the trouble is the projects don't produce revitalization. [9:03] Projects are the last step of the revitalization process where before you get to that kind of action, you need to lay the groundwork to make sure that the momentum from each successful project is captured. [9:42] The end goal that you're shooting for at least amongst their goals is increasing the confidence in their future. [10:01] By not increasing the confidence in the future of a place, you're going to continue losing residents, employers and investors, and you're not going to be attracting new ones. [10:22] You need to have an ongoing program because revitalization and regeneration is something that needs to be happening every moment of every day. [10:36] As I describe in Reconomics, the home for this ongoing program should not be a government agency, it should not be subject to the vicissitudes of changes of administration. [11:57] Some projects do this is a strategy, I call the three re strategy, which is repurpose, renew, reconnect and when that's put into effect, real magic can happen. [16:02] If a project is big enough, ambitious enough, and uses the right strategy, it can revitalize, but the best thing is to have a complete process. [16:17] Commercial break. [20:32] The easiest way to overcome the credibility factor in terms of can we revitalize is to tell stories and showing communities that had similar problems who overcame them. [22:45] Two sources for the credibility problem include genuine skepticism arising from false promises and failed projects and people seeing revitalization as a mystery that probably cannot be successfully engineered. [23:03] Our focus at economics Institute economics.org is on certifying revitalization and resilience facilitators. [24:31] The first step to help communities create these processes is having somebody who knows what the process i. [24:52] The facilitators basically can take a look at what the community is currently doing and do a gap analysis and fill in until they get that minimum viable process, which just has six parts. [25:14] The six elements make the minimum viable process so you can add to it but can't take away as this is the minimum that's necessary to have a reliable process to produce revitalization and resilience. [25:54] The first job of that ongoing program is to create a shared vision of the future. [26:16] The next step is to have a strategy to overcome the primary obstacles to achieving that vision. [26:26] The next is taking a look at the policies and find out what policies are going to get in the way of achieving that strategy and vision. [26:46] The fourth step is going ahead and putting together some partnerships. [27:01] The last step is using the resources that the partnerships bring to the table to do the actual projects. [27:08] It's not enough just to have a program vision strategy, policies, partnerships and projects, each one of them has to be regenerative to produce revitalization and resilience Both revitalization and resilience are based on repurposing, renewing and reconnecting and are natural and built-in socio-economic environments. By combining them, now, you've got the short term benefits of revitalization with the long term benefits of resilience, which helps fund and build public support for both of them. This doesn't have to be done as a profession, we've got people who are becoming certified revitalization resilience facilitators because they want to be more effective volunteers. What we restore restores us, what we revitalize revitalizes us. …………………..…..

After getting our child diagnosed with ADHD, the experts didn't really provide any directions for us. We find the support we expected from the school system, the community, or our pediatrician. Getting the resources to meet my child's needs was very difficult, so we learned to advocate for her. And the challenges didn't get easier with time—they were just different with time. But in spite of all these, I can't picture my life without my ADHD, OCD, Tourette's superhero!

Over recent decades, community-based environmental monitoring (often called "citizen science") has exploded in popularity, aided both by smartphones and rapid gains in computing power that make the analysis of large data sets far easier.             Publishing in BioScience, handling editors Rick Bonney, of Cornell University, Finn Danielsen, of the Nordic Foundation for Development and Ecology (NORDECO), and numerous colleagues share an open-access special section (already downloaded thousands of times) that highlights numerous community-based monitoring programs currently underway.             In an article on locally based monitoring, Danielsen and colleagues describe the potential for monitoring by community members—who may have little scientific training—to deliver "credible data at local scale independent of external experts and can be used to inform local and national decision making within a short timeframe."             Community-based monitoring efforts also have the potential to empower Indigenous rightsholders and stakeholders through their broader inclusion in the scientific process, writes Bonney in a Viewpoint article introducing the section. Moreover, he says, "Indigenous and local peoples' in situ knowledge practices have the potential to make significant contributions to meeting contemporary sustainability challenges both locally and around the globe."             In this episode of BioScience Talks, Bonney and Danielsen join us to discuss the special section as well as the broader future for community-based monitoring.

Theater artists José Cruz González and David Lozano join us in this episode. Their conversation “On Making Shakespeare Relevant to Latinx Communities” appears in the new book Shakespeare and Latinidad. González and Lozano talk with Barbara Bogaev about adapting and translating Shakespeare, performing and directing it in ways that make it relevant to Latinx audiences, and whether the Bard has a place at theater companies working to carve out a space for Latinx voices.

His plays include American Mariachi, Sunsets & Margaritas, and The Astronaut Farmworker. He's also a professor of Theatre Arts at Cal State Los Angeles.

Terry's passion shines in this episode, as she discusses government-ordered vaccine mandates. Staff shortages in ASC's are prompting them to suspend services. This begs the question: are these mandates helping or hurting our communities? Giving employees a choice of getting a vaccine, versus weekly testing and PPE for safety, should be considered. Our patients need […] The post Are ASC and hospital vaccine mandates helping or hurting our communities? appeared first on Terry Fletcher Consulting, Inc..

We brushed over his early days, and how he slowly made his way toward computers with the help of certifications. Steve explained how software development was a side activity for a very long time.

Today, Indigenous Peoples Day is being observed in more than a dozen states. Maryland isn't among them. But the movement to ditch the traditional Columbus Day holiday is growing, in favor of celebrating the unique contributions Native Americans have made, and continue to make to our nation. Several cities in Maryland have replaced Columbus Day with the holiday to honor Native American history, including Baltimore, Washington DC, and more than 130 other cities, counties and school districts across the country do too. On Friday, President Biden issued the first ever Presidential Proclamation on Indigenous People's Day, which was widely seen as a major stride towards re-directing the focus of the federal Columbus Day holiday towards recognition of Native Peoples. It said, in part, “our Nation celebrates the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples, recognizes their inherent sovereignty, and commits to honoring the Federal Government's trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations.” Columbus Day is a federal holiday established by Congress. The President also issued a Columbus Day Proclamation, in which he acknowledged “the painful history of wrongs and atrocities that many European explorers inflicted on Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities. Joining us now is Daisee Francour. She is a member of the Oneida Tribal Nation and serves as Director of Strategic Partnerships and Communications at Cultural Survival, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based non-profit group that helps indigenous communities protect and preserve their cultural traditions.

In this special episode of the show, we're excited to bring you our conversation with Prashanth Chandrasekar, CEO of Stack Overflow. This interview was recorded as a part of the annual Prosus AI Marketplace event.  In our discussion with Prashanth, we explore the impact the pandemic has had on Stack Overflow, how they think about community and enable collaboration in over 100 million monthly users from around the world, and some of the challenges they've dealt with when managing a community of this scale. We also examine where Stack Overflow is in their AI journey, use cases illustrating how they're currently utilizing ML, what their role is in the future of AI-based code generation, what other trends they've picked up on over the last few years, and how they're using those insights to forge the path forward.

We're excited to share a special episode in partnership with our colleagues in the San Francisco Fed's Community Development group. Our teams recently collaborated on a special issue of the Community Development Innovation Review in partnership with the Aspen Institute's Financial Security program, which examined the potential ways financial technology can promote racial equity in the financial system. Today's episode is a corollary to our recently concluded Financial Inclusion & Beyond series where we explored what we can learn from efforts around the world to improve financial inclusion and wellbeing. The event included a fireside chat with San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly and Ida Rademacher, Executive Director of the Aspen Institute's Financial Security Program, and a panel discussion with several journal contributors moderated by Rocio Sanchez-Moyano, a senior researcher in the Community Development  group. Some take-aways from the live event include: The current financial system does not serve everyone equally. The inability to access and use financial services impedes people's full participation in the economy. Communities of color and low-income communities are disproportionately left out of the financial system. Fintech provides an opportunity to reach those excluded by the financial system. Fintech shows promise in furthering financial inclusion. Improvements in transaction processing, digital identity, and use of real-time and alternative data for risk assessment could offer significant improvements to individuals currently left out of the financial system. Fintech solutions designed based on a nuanced understanding of lived experiences of those they serve have greater impact. Many consumers come up with work-arounds or adaptations to work with existing services that do not meet their needs. Efforts to increase diversity in the fintech ecosystem (from founders to staff, venture capital, and regulators) and greater prioritization of learning from the experiences and challenges that users from low-income communities and communities of color face can enable the creation of higher impact fintech solutions.

In this episode of Native Opinion, Cohosts David Greyowl (Echota Cherokee) and Michael Kickingbear (Mashantucket Pequot) review a story on the the effects of climate change (not created by behaviors of Indigenous peoples) which has now created a restriction on how many Salmon Indigenous people of Alaska (and other communities) can "take." In another story, Water shortages due to droughts continue to have devastating effects on Indigenous communities in the west. The Federal government is expected to declare a water shortage in the lower basin of the Colorado River by 2022. This restriction is likely to hit indigenous communities particularly hard, as they have struggled to get their legal share of Colorado River water for years—even when those waters have been abundant. Why should our communities bear even more restrictions over an issue which we did not create?Also, a first look at Congressional candidate, and North Carolina Lumbee Indian tribal citizen, Charles Graham. What are his priorities for Indian country should he be successful in his Candidacy?

Today's episode features Lauren Tang, a member of the Sunnyside Village Couhousing Group. Cohousing is when a group of people come together to intentionally create a physical neighborhood of people with common values and shared resources. Lauren came from living in a trailer to attending medical school and eventually leading a successful medical career. However, despite the fulfillment and high pay, she felt that something was missing. That's when Lauren discovered financial independence and later, cohousing. If you're interested in building your own real-world community or just learning more about cohousing, this is the episode for you!
