Utility Safety Partners has a simple message. Like all One-Call services it advocates for people and professional contractors to contact them before they dig a hole. One contact and locate markings result a short time later by any company with buried facilities int eh area, and you can dig that hole for your deck, or fence post, or whatever work needs to be done. That's a message that benefits everyone right? It's a simple action contacting just one entity for all this, there's no particular delay to the project… you would think compliance would be 100%? Of course it isn't. That's human nature. And it's the communications challenge for all One-Call services around the World taking this easy message, and this easy call to action, and making it human habit.Guest: Mike Sullivan, President Utility Safety Partnershttps://utilitysafety.ca/info@utilitysafety.ca@utility_safety on TwitterCheck out Mike's podcast on Apple Prairie PodcastConnect with Stories and Strategies on Twitter @stories_strats.

When an app has too many features and pop ups, most users get confused and frustrated. This is feature creep: when the product's core functionality becomes hidden in too many options and things to do. Feature creep happens when a team is determined to stay productive, but loses sight of its strategy. Sometimes stopping is better for the product than doing more. Learning notes from this episode: Feature creep is problematic for two main reasons: it confuses users and it costs money. This is because product teams have to be paid to design and code, and you also have to pay cloud costs to store your pointless features. Feature creep happens when there is a pressure to produce, which is contrary to the ability to focus. It can be easier to present new features as productivity to investors and corporate bosses, rather than saying that the product team took time to review results and reflect. To prevent feature creep, go back to the fundamental product development questions you've learnt here: What problem is our product solving? Who are we solving it for? Who is willing to pay to solve this problem? What other solutions do they have to this problem? Keep your eyes on the user, not the product. Feature creep happens when you get obsessed with the product and forget the user. It should be the other way around.

In this episode of "Ask a Death Doula", I talk with Reid Peterson the founder of The Grief Refuge App. We have an insightful conversation about grief, what is is, how it works and what you can do to thrive through the grief journey. 2. Why Grief is so Complicated [8:49] – Grief is painful, and people want to avoid pain of all types – emotional pain is particularly complicated to deal with. Many people associate feeling this kind of pain as not normal and then crave a sense of normalcy in response. This can lead to premature dismissal of their grief. It leads to a lack of respect in our society for the grieving process – it can feel taboo or stigmatized. Even though pain is uncomfortable, it is a signal we receive to let us know something is wrong and we need to acknowledge it. We don't want to be in pain, but we have to recognize it and understand where it is coming from so that we can address it properly. Ignoring it is only masking it and giving it an opportunity to grow and transmute into something even more severe. Understanding your grief as a natural and expected response to loss allows you to sit with it, honor it, and identify the tools you have to eventually transform it and heal from it. Unless we're willing and courageous enough to sit with our pain and befriend it, we're never going to have the opportunity to transform it and move past it. 3. Bringing Back Rituals to End of Life for Healthy Grieving [14:22] – Incorporating rituals back into the processes of end of life and grieving and memorials can be extremely comforting. This can provide insight into steps for the next phases of life for those who are grieving. Rituals that are practiced with loved ones are even more empowering through the shared connection and experience. When families take time at the end of life when they have lost a loved one and really use that window of opportunity to be present and share stories with each other – it has an incredibly positive impact on the way their grief and bereavement journey goes from that point forward. There is no need to rush in the wake of a significant loss – realize that we will never have this moment again. Take it in, allow yourself to slow down, and process what happened and how you are feeling. Bringing back ritual is so important for this. 4. “Stuck” Grief [21:15] – “Stuck” grief is when someone feels hopeless, lonely or isolated, and feeling lost while going through the grieving process. It is defined by people who feel as though they aren't making progress in their healing – they start to feel that it will never improve. One of the most common things that happen at the end of life is people will wait for you to leave the bedside before they have their actual end of life. Often times, they will be unresponsive and in a sleeping coma for days and the brief instance that someone leaves them for a few minutes they pass away - and people come back and are usually riddled with guilt that they weren't there for the passing of their loved one. Just having the knowledge that this is normal can unburden people who have been carrying around guilt for decades of their life. Knowledge and education are two of the greatest tools we have to help us deal with the natural process of grieving and how we can move forward and heal from it. 5. The Grief Refuge [24:50] – The Grief Refuge is a hybrid organization that offers live services such as retreats and support groups for those who are grieving. Support groups are now online and focus on unique aspects of grief experiences. There are groups for different types of loss and specific experiences. There are also one-on-one “grief companioning” services offered. It is a heart-centered, and soul-centered approach to helping those dealing with the difficulties of coping with grief or going through grief overwhelm. The Grief Refuge also has an app platform for those seeking validation and comfort along their grief journey and so they can reflect and receive guidance. Memorable Quotes: 1. “Grief is a natural and expected response to losing something we care about.” – Suzanne B. O'Brien RN 2. “Right now, we are living in a society that treats death as optional. We have to really change our thinking here and bring death back into the natural fold of life because that denial creates a crisis when the time comes.” – Suzanne B.

This episode, It's Complicated: Facebook's Liability for Users' Posts, poses the questions ‘When is Facebook (or any other platform) legally responsible for users' bad behavior? And when should they be?' The current answer is found mostly in a federal statute, 47 U.S.C. § 230, that immunizes online intermediaries from liability for most user-generated content. Section 230 is the subject of constant controversy and numerous reform proposals, but has remained largely intact since 1996. Minnesota Law's Professor William McGeveran moderates the conversation between Danielle Citron, professor of law at the University of Virginia, and Jeff Kosseff, Associate Professor of Law at the United States Naval Academy as they try to answer the questions, “Is it time to change Section 230? And If so, how?” This webinar discussion was recorded on April 25th, 2022. It is also available for viewing on the Minnesota Law YouTube channel.

In honor of Mother's Day we are bringing back this classic from season 4. “Two of my heroes are mother and my grandmother…My mother taught me to be a woman. She was the strongest person I've ever met. And someday I'll be the woman she wants me to be” - Tracy Hyter-Suffern It's complicated. Mothers. They're sometimes cast as heroes and role models, often as victims or villains. In almost 40 conversations with other old bitches, mothers emerge as essential to the fabric of so many parts of our histories, our present and our futures.

We've talked a lot about the different ways to find love on this show. We've also talked a lot about what some people are doing right vs. what some people are doing wrong. The thing about finding a “partner” for life is that they, too, are their own separate person. They have needs and wants and desires that are their own. As much as we want someone who fits into our lives perfectly, we MUST fit into theirs just as well. This begs the question: is there one specific person out there that is our “match.” Our, “soulmate,” if you will? Or are there many different options, and we just have to navigate and find the best one that fits when the stars align? Instead of soulmate, maybe it's just the “right mate.” Kierstan Saulter, former contestant on Love Island USA season 2, nursing student and Texan living in Los Angeles, joins us to dish on her love life after the show, whether soulmates exist, reality dating shows and if they really work, and which celebrity couples she thinks will make it.

Andréa Jones, successful podcast host of the top-rated podcast, the Social Savvy Podcast and founder of OnlineDrea, shares her passion for helping entrepreneurs increase customer engagement and grow a following organically. Andréa was named one of Social Report's top marketers to follow in 2019 and shares her strategies, tactics, and passion with her private clients, students, and today on the One Big Tip podcast.Andréa's interest in social media began in 2007 when she created YouTube videos of her home, before being a YouTuber was cool. During her years at University, Andréa interned as a digital marketer for a theater company. Shortly after graduation, Andréa moved to Canada, got married, and dove into entrepreneurial waters when she began her freelancing career as a digital marketer. After finding success, Andréa opened her digital marketing agency, OnlineDrea.com, where she works with clients to grow their business by using the appropriate platforms for their market so they can gain revenue and loyal customers.For Andréa, the most challenging part of shifting from freelancer to marketing agency owner was learning how to become a team leader who inspires her employees. Creating a virtual team that can serve her clients was a skill that she learned through the school of hard knocks. Today, to be a member of team Andréa, you need to have a love of social media, those that don't need not apply. Another aspect of creating teams is creating SOPs (standard operating procedures). This allows every client to receive the same level of service as if they were the only client. Andréa approaches social media marketing from a different perspective than content creators. Her strategy is - three hours a week is all you need to build a successful business and create a community and loyal customer base. This only works if you know which platform your customers will be on and their goal. If you're an author, you want to establish authority and get your name out there. If you're in the eCommerce industry, conversions and ROI are where you focus. This distinction is an integral part of Andréa's strategy and part of what makes her a success. One strategy Andréa uses when creating a marketing campaign is mirroring what your business does for its target audience on social media. Reflecting who you are and what your brand stands for on social media is the best way to find a client's voice because it creates authenticity. If you would like to hear more from Andréa Jones about creating digital campaigns that resonate with your target audience, listen to today's episode of the One Big Tip podcast. In this episode[1:40] Andréa talks about becoming a digital marketing agency owner.[7:02] The challenges entrepreneurs face when building teams.  [11:05] The importance of knowing your clients' needs so you can serve them effectively.[15:12] Why brand voice is essential when creating a digital campaign. [17:52] How to maintain positive results for clients by changing strategies.Support the show (https://jeffmendelson.com/onebigtip)

Do you remember how simple it was to make and keep girlfriends when you were really young? All you had to do was wear the same pair of tennis shoes as a classmate or gal on the playground and man, you were set. Best friends forever. But the further we grow away from kindergarten classrooms and recess camaraderie, the more complicated friendship with other women seems to become. Let's face it - friendship is hard! How can we really achieve authentic friendship in our lives as Catholic women - and is it even worth the effort? I'm switching things up a little bit today - if this is the first time you've tuned into a Letters to Women episode, welcome! Normally, I sit down with a Catholic woman and we chat about her story, something she's passionate about, and how she's living out the feminine genius in her daily life. But this week, for only the third time in the entire five year history of this podcast, I'm going solo to visit with you about my brand new book, ‘Sisterhood: Giving and Receiving the Gift of Friendship” - which launches into the world TODAY, May 2nd. Resources you should check out after listening to this episode: Get access to the introduction and first chapter of “Sisterhood” here!

There are some hard ethical questions in the writing of crime fiction. For me, the most difficult one is how to portray violence. For one thing, should you depict it all? And if so, how do you do it with some sense of morality? I wrestle with this issue all the time. It's a fine line to walk. On the one hand I don't want to sanitize violence—I don't like presenting murder as a parlor game, or worse, a video game in which there are no real consequences.

In this revisit to the table (Step 5 in our problem-solving process), Tiffany, Katie, Effie, Eileen, and Kerry discuss the many layers around the word “arthritis” including: 1) Misunderstandings around the word that can lead to delays in diagnosis, family and friend judgements, and the different type associated with “AUTO” diseases; and 2) Complexities that exist when trying to identify the AiArthritis from other potential comorbidities (Osteoarthritis, bursitis, enthesitis) and how clarity about this could help with detection, access to the right treatments, and overall better health outcomes.    This conversation takes many turns, all which address issues identified from lived patient experience. Why is differentiating arthritis types important? How many of us referenced family history to expedite diagnosis? How does public, family, and even doctor misunderstanding of our diseases play into diagnosis and exploring potential comorbidities? How accurate is the literature in regards to arthritis prevalence in comparison to what patients report to be true? They even started brainstorming the development of a new tool that could help the public, patients, and health providers better understand the layers of our diseases as well improve communication and overall disease journeys.    Now it's YOUR turn to weigh in!  There's a lot to talk about, join us ‘at the table' so, together, we can change the stories of tomorrow! Submit your comments here, at podcast@aiarthritis.org, on our social platforms at Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn @IFAiArthritis.    Show Notes: 00:53 Tiffany (CEO, non-radiographic axial spondylitis) introduces the show and co-hosts, Katie (Programs & Communications Manager, rheumatoid arthritis), Eileen (“Chronic Eileen” rheumatoid arthritis), Effie (“Rising Above RA”, rheumatoid arthritis), and Kerry (“Float Like a Buttahfly”, sarcoidosis).  3:13 Tiffany officially welcomes Elieen and Kerry as the newest recurring Co-Hosts! 3:37 Explains a new addition to the show - the “360its!”, where any topic or comment from the episode is eligible to spin off into different conversations in any communication format (facebook live, twitter,  4:37 Topic is around the word arthritis, as a Step 5 (revisit to the table) issue, because in the US it's Arthritis Awareness Month and May 20th is World AUTOimmune & AUTOinflammatory Arthritis Day 6:35 Co-hosts start the conversation by answering the question, “Why do YOU think the type of arthritis associated with our diseases - and differentiating it from other types - is so important?” All co-hosts share their stories and perspectives. 11:17  In the stories shared, the co-hosts outline a journey from “What's wrong with me?” to “Misunderstandings” to “public education” and “doctor education” and “overlap of types of arthritis (also Osteoarthritis) or other comorbidities.” If we (patients, public, families, doctors) better understood arthritis and the types we could improve detection, referrals, diagnosis and, in turn, improve quality of life, increase rates of remission, and lessen unnecessary disability. This can lead to better overall healthcare and improved costs for healthcare systems.  12:52 Tiffany opens the conversation to discuss anyone's experience with relatives having our diseases. Did anyone say, “Did you have a history of autoimmune/autoinflammatory disease in your family and, if so, did anyone say to you when figuring out what was going on with you, ‘Hey, this person has XYZ, maybe you have something in that family?” They continue discussing this and determine in their cases the connection between family history and detection/diagnosis was not common. This is an opportunity to discuss further because family history and communication about it could expedite diagnosis. 17:18 Kerry puts this perspective on the table - Not all families talk about things like illness, so in those cases knowing family history is hard. But given we know AiArthritis diseases are part genetic, this could be a key factor that could either lead to quicker diagnosis, or prolong diagnosis.  18:16 Kerry - Talking about the statement “It's all in your head” - “Once I had something visible - rash on my legs, swelling - I could say ‘I'm not making this up!” Bloodwork was fairly normal except a positive test for autoimmune thyroid, which led to a sign of diagnosis. But it took the visible plus some type of autoimmune direction in bloodwork to get there. Most agree, they only realized other family members had something similar after diagnosis. Could this be in part also because it's not understood by families that ANY of out 100+ “AUTO” diseases counts as family history? Tiffany explains the importance also of knowing family history, as newer research is moving towards prevention - or at least catching the disease very early - based on certain biomarkers + known environmental triggers + family history.  21: 12 Conversation continues about family history when it comes to the doctor visit (not asked). Often this leads back to the patient trying to push testing and googling what they have.  22:37 Group starts discussing delay in diagnosis journeys, including overlap of symptoms and the arthritic component, and how important the right diagnosis matters. A lot of delay in diagnosis for Kerry came from the doctors not understanding so self advocacy became necessary to help them figure it out. When you have a rare disease, less knowledge is often present and, therefore, more self advocacy necessary. 28:48 Effie revisits the topic of family history and how culture and heritage can impact conversation (“We don't talk about family illness.”). Or, in her case, as immigrants, a lot wasn't documented. This has, in part, encouraged her to start sharing her story to help others have those ah-ha moments. 31:11 There are different kinds of arthritis and some of us have more than one, which can lead to confusion in diagnosis (“You're too young to have arthritis”, “You're too old to have RA”) and family misunderstandings (“oh I have that too, it's not that bad”). They discuss why it's important for patients to know which type they have - or if they have more than one type. Also, how do we differentiate the systemic systems (part of our disease or comorbidity?) How does it overlap or is it separate? Is there a way to treat one differently than another and, if so, what should I know?  How do I identify where my pain is coming from and what am I doing to trigger this pain - did my meds stop working or is this something new? Also, since our diseases are systemic and affect organs, too - that plays into this as well. 39:05 This is a Step 5 episode, which means we have discussed these topics enough over the last year, including in this episode, to be at a point where we can head into Step 6 - which is creating a solution. In this case, a resource to help with identifying AUTO + Arthritis (and potential comorbidities) so we can improve detection, diagnosis, and disease management.  Things to consider in developing this tool: Name your pain. What kind of pain do I have? (joint, enthesitis, non-joint, fibro pain, bursitis pain?) Where is it located? (Symptom chart) What disease do I have? How can this resource be used to share with doctor? Make it patient-led, then doctors review. Potential comorbidities Include building vocabulary and considerate of families/juveniles 42:50 Group discusses why this tool is also important - often doctors will not connect the dots on their own. Kerry gives an example of a doctor considering pituitary gland involvement because, “That could cover many varied issues.” It's THAT line of thinking, “What could cover many varied issues?” that doctors need to consider. 44:04 “Those with sarcoidosis are thought to have lung involvement so if that's missing as a first symptom it may be missed.” The prevalence of arthritis, and what doctors believe is the correct percentage, may differ from patient-reported prevalence. They give examples of Sarcoidosis. It's thought that only 30% have arthritis, but Kerry hasn't met one person without it. Recently in Still's Disease (which includes systemic JIA), research has shown about 25% of patients do not have arthritis - especially as a first symptom. Yet the diagnosis triangle for Still's taught to doctors is look for arthritis, rash, high fevers. Is arthritis part of the disease or a comorbidity? 49:45 Katie mentions pain evolves in perception and simply getting used to it over time (pain is normal). How does this play into pain reporting? How does measuring pain and personal tolerance and mindset play into this? 55:25 What if the arthritis isn't so bad and it's the AUTO features that dominate. How can we communicate this? The group also discusses the importance of not eliminating arthritis as a clinical component altogether if it is or was part of your disease. (It's important for our tool. Is it earlier in their disease, later, a later comorbidity/OA developing?) 59:05 Tiffany wraps up the show, starting by inviting the audience to weigh in on the tool we started to brainstorm about in this episode.

Weddings are endlessly fascinating. They carry with them immense baggage - not just the hope of perfection, but the expectation of it. Unmitigated joy is assumed as the default feeling at a wedding even though no such thing has ever happened. We have never in our adult lives felt uncomplicated happiness, and yet we saddle weddings with this burden.I had a mentor who would say that, as a pastor, funerals were easier than weddings. He said that at funerals people were allowed to feel anything, were allowed to have complicated, strange, hard, sad feelings, were allowed to laugh and cry and love and mourn and grieve and hope all at once. And I remember him saying at a funeral there is usually a coffin or an urn or a picture where we can focus all the complexity of our emotions in that moment.But, he said, at a wedding, everyone was supposed only to be happy. Never mind if they'd recently been divorced or widowed, if they'd loved and lost, or if they wanted to be married but weren't. Never mind if they couldn't find clothes that fit, or if they weren't sure what they thought about the institution of marriage or if they were uncomfortable in this church: Pure happiness is what they should feel

That involves connecting with your audience on a deep emotional level — even if you're in a lackluster industry.

Luckily, Allie LeFevere has developed the brand personality method to turn boring and complicated brands into fun ones… because fun sells. How does this method work, and how are top brands using it?  Listen to this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast with Dr. Jeremy Weisz featuring the Creative Director and Co-founder of Obedient Agency, Allie LeFevere.
