The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Dr. Heather Gregg of the US Army War College explores how collective identity building and myths--stories designed to tell a group of people who they are, where they came from and how they should behave--shape violent conflict. Heather contrasts the way identity is used by insurgencies and counterinsurgency efforts and sketches lessons learned from recent operations against Al Qaeda and ISIS in Iraq, as well as the role that identity is playing in the Ukrainian war. Our wide-ranging conversation also covers implications of horizontal and vertical cultural transmission of information, myths as a form of storytelling, and mixing up myth and history.

North Carolina Entrepreneur and co-founder of Dig and the subscription gardening box, The Dig Box, Hayley Figueroa joins Allie on today's episode to discuss the creativity behind gardening. Hayley also shares tips for starting a garden and how gardening can provide safe access to food. More about Hayley and co-founder Irma:We were homeschooling/unschooling moms who shared a love of gardening. Irma was a flower gardener and Hayley was a vegetable gardener. If you remember that commercial for a certain chocolate and peanut butter confection, it was something along those lines. Irma gave Hayley flower starts and Hayley gave Irma vegetable starts, and very shortly thereafter, both gardens were abundant and thriving. That was a few years ago…in the before times.Fast forward three years and we found ourselves gardening in the pandemic which felt very different. It felt more necessary and apparently, it felt that way to lots of people. Many people (maybe even you) decided to start a garden in 2020 because they were worried about having safe access to food. Sure, it was in the supermarket, but that meant you had to GO to the supermarket. A lot of those anxieties persisted and even more, people decided to start gardening in 2021. Seasoned gardeners were also affected, expanding their gardens, adding new plant varieties, and more growing spaces during quarantine and beyond. After many discussions about this and lots of DMs from anxious people, hitting our IGs, we realized that a garden subscription box could help new and seasoned gardeners alike and that's how Dig was born. Each month, high-quality tools, seeds, and accessories are delivered directly to your door. Who doesn't like receiving a box o' stuff?So, this is us, Irma & Hayley…Dig. Connect with my Guest!Instagram: @thedigboxWebsite: https://www.thedigbox.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDigBoxFollow the Wandering Creatives Podcast: Instagram: @wanderingcreativespodTwitter: @wandering_podTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/wanderingcreativeBecome a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wanderingcreativesBe sure to like, subscribe, rate, and review!Do you have questions or comments?  You can text or call us on our hotline: 252.419.6004, and we will include them in a future episode of the Podcast! CALL US AT: 252-419-6004 and leave a meSupport the show

Often in my conversations with guests, we talk about how TTRPGs are really just a form of collaborative storytelling. But DnD and other games like it have a habit of becoming a situation where the players are playing through a story that kind of exists without them specifically. So how do we change that and make our games something that can feel more like players have an impact on the story?  Well I'm joined by Tyler of Miss-Rolled Adventures to discuss exactly that. Tyler talks us through his journey as a beginning DM that went from focusing on every little detail of the world and rigid story structure to a more engaging and interactive game that is much more fun for everyone. We discuss a lot of great tips and talk about some missteps that have been made a long the way. We also have some fun story time talking about our games and giving examples of things that have gone well or poorly and what we've learned from those experiences.  If you're interested in seeing what other shenanigans Tyler and his players have gotten up to you can check them out on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/missrolled_adventures or give them a follow on Twitter: @missrolled Follow me on twitter @19hitsthedragon for updates on the season and general nerd shenanigans.

It's clear from our two films in our current series that Susanne Bier enjoys films with complex characters dealing with complex situations. Open Hearts had two families whose lives are upturned after a car accident affects both of them. In After the Wedding, it's a revealing toast at the wedding that turns lives upside down and forces several people to reevaluate their connections to each other. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Mads & Susanne series with her 2006 film After the Wedding. We have a lot of thoughts about After the Wedding. This is a film dealing in a mess of a situation but somehow avoids melodramatic, false emotions. Crafting a story like that isn't easy, but Bier manages it and delivers a powerful film here. The performances of Mads Mikkelsen, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Rolf Lassgård, and Stine Fischer Christensen are spot-on perfect, but it's the script and direction that keeps the story believable. And that's with a story that has several large reveals that in any other film would be signs of it being over-the-top. But not here. Bier allows the characters to learn the information then react to it as people would. It's powerful how effective it is. It feels as if Bier learned a lot about connecting to her characters with her work in the Dogme 95 style, and even though she's not operating under their rules here, it still shows she understands the core principals of being honest. There's a lot to be discussed about how wealth affects and shapes Jorgen's thinking, not to mention how he treats his family. There are also elements of altruism reflected throughout. How does that come up with the characters and their intentions? It's a powerful film and one we're glad to cover on the show. So check it out then tune in.

"Being in search of a beautiful question can lead to a new sense of purpose and direction.  A beautiful question is one that challenges assumptions, considers new possibilities, and serves as a catalyst for action and change.  Crafting and engaging with such beautiful questions is like an art.  Like other art forms, it takes practice, and requires learning from practice.  When practiced well, artful inquiry can lead to transformative learning and innovative change".  Southern, N. (2015) Framing Inquiry, in G. R. Bushe &. R. J Marshak (Eds) Dialogic Organizational Development (p. 271)   Those beautiful words you hear in the introduction are from Nancy Southern, reflecting what it takes to frame effective inquiry, based on the insights from Warren Berger's 2014 book A Beautiful Question.  Inspired by that, this episode is a wonderful combination for me.  A past guest, who is curious, humble, and super interesting, combined with no structure to the podcast episode whatsoever apart from curious questions.  You'll remember Ron Gantt from episode 146.  Ron and I wanted to catch up, and this is what we talked about.  For some of you, knowing the podcast topic and how the guest fits the topic is important for a podcast to be worth listening to.  Sometimes, as Southern and Berger hint at, not knowing and trying to ask better more beautiful questions is a wonderful and productive way to learn.  I hope you enjoy this conversation with Ron Gantt, even if none of us know where it's heading until we get there.  Here's Ron:

Taking a break from show notes and editing 

Taking a break from show notes and editing 

It's episode 21 of Blended! I'm joined by another incredible panel of guests and we're talking about diverse talent in the workplace, and how to keep it. From labor shortages to issues around retention, I'm having more and more conversations about talent on Let's Talk Supply Chain, and it really was time to bring that conversation over to Blended. Ensuring you have diverse talent in your business could be the difference between surviving and thriving, so it's something everyone should be taking seriously. Today, our guests will be discussing the current landscape in supply chain when it comes to talent; sharing their own personal experiences; tackling how to successfully hire and retain talent; and discussing exactly how we navigate bias to improve company culture.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [00.45] Introductions to our Blended panelists. Bryant – Digital Content Marketing Manager, Corporate Communications at Blue Yonder Meredith – Senior HR Director at DHL Supply Chain Heidi – Founder of Diversity Study Group Sugathri – Program Director, Women in Supply Chains at Digital Supply Chain Institute “The landscape is transforming like never before.” Sugathri [03.50] The group dives into the current landscape in supply chain when it comes to talent, and reflects on the truth behind the headlines around ‘talent shortages' and the ‘great resignation.' Is there a difference between talent and labor shortages? Working with the right recruiter Changing the face of the wider industry you work within Selling your brand Understanding the changing market and needs of the next generation Robust retention plans Culture work How does leadership need to change? Making DEI a business case “Ensuring that you have the right wages and the right benefits have become really important – if you're not hitting the mark on that, and if your culture is not right, people aren't going to come and work for you. Or they'll come, and then they'll leave.” Meredith [21.56] The panel reflects on the step before retention – hiring the right talent. Are talent shortages a result of dated and exclusionary hiring practices? Driving diversity of thought, which leads to innovation Crafting diverse teams How do we ensure diverse voices are heard equally? Allyship and elevating others' voices Why it's not just an HR issue Unconscious bias “It's a candidate driven, employee market, and its absolutely essential that organisations are pitching themselves right.” Heidi [40.47] The group shares their personal experiences and dive deeper into unconscious bias: what it means, the impact on retaining talent and how we successfully navigate through it in the workplace to help retention. Giving regular feedback Creating boards and panels instead of making things one person's responsibility Communication and conversation Sharing of personal experience and perspective Taking accountability for our own bias How we can help others to make it personal, connect and understand Creating working communities Address it head-on “Anybody who has been ‘othered' is always asking themselves those questions – do I have an unconscious bias? And it's terrifying when you have to come face to face with yourself and admit it.” Bryant [1.13.14] The panel summarizes their thoughts on how organizations can successfully retain talent. Flexibility Being proactive instead of reactive Ensure people feel accepted, included and valued Visible leadership Intention Building the right culture Overhaul your hiring processes to better onboard diverse employees Support the creation of communities within your organization Train managers to lead diverse teams Make it all transparent Create mentorship and sponsorship opportunities Develop a formal retention plan Stand in solidarity with diverse employees [01.27.23] The group sums up their thoughts from today's discussion.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   You can connect with Bryant, Heidi, Meredith and Sugathri over on LinkedIn.

Raleigh, NC chalk artist Taylor Harrington joins Allie on today's episode to discuss her journey from doodling chalk art at a local bar to completing 20 ft by 20 ft chalk murals and being able to quit working her 9-5 to do art full-time.Meet the Guest!Taylor is a Raleigh-based artist specializing in chalk and pen & ink. She began taking commissions in 2018 and made the leap to become a full-time artist in 2021. Taylor began her art career creating chalk pieces for couples on their wedding day after a local wedding planner saw her art at a brewery and asked her to help a couple create a piece for their wedding. Taylor grew this service in 2018 and 2019, working with couples to design and create large murals, welcome signs, and seating charts. She strives to work with couples to match their vision in both design and the lettering of their pieces. From there, she started expanding her local connections and recognition, leading to her chalk work with businesses and events that continues to expand to this day. Her chalk career flourished when Taylor joined the Raleigh Night Market in 2019 and brought live street chalk to the markets. She later became the Art Coordinator of Raleigh Night Market in 2021, bringing attractions such as live art and music to multiple events a month. As the market season wound down near the end of 2021, she began expanding her art career by taking commissions to draw house portraits. This is a skill stemming from when she was younger when she used to draw her own house from memory in her school notes. After her house portraits became a hit during the Christmas season of 2021, she started a series of drawings centered around iconic local landmarks in Raleigh. Expect to see additional chalk work at events, businesses, and weddings throughout 2022, and be on the lookout for her coming series of prints of local landmarks.Connect with my Guest!Instagram: @chalkbytaylorWebsite: www.chalkbytaylor.comFacebook: @ChalkByTaylorFollow the Wandering Creatives Podcast: Instagram: @wanderingcreativespodTwitter: @wandering_podTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/wanderingcreativeBecome a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wanderingcreativesBe sure to like, subscribe, rate, and review!Do you have questions or comments?  You can text or call us on our hotline: 252.419.6004, and we will include them in a future episode of the Podcast! CALL US AT: 252-419-6004 and leave a meSupport the show

On today's show, I wanted to give you a sneak peek of Bulletproof Screenwriting's first official audiobook Writing for Emotional Impact: Advanced Dramatic Techniques to Attract, Engage, and Fascinate the Reader from Beginning to End, published by IFH Books. You'll get to listen to a free chapter covering how to craft complex and memorable characters, which is over one hour, from this amazing audiobook.You can't have a great plot without having amazing characters. Strong character development will evoke emotions in your audience whether you're writing a comedy, drama, or any other genre.

Even if you love your characters, there is no guarantee your reader will connect with them.If you want to elevate your scripts and stories – AND your screenwriting or filmmaking career-- to the highest possible level, this class is a must. Creating characters that people connect with is no easy feat, but it is the key to writing amazing work.If you don't know who the author is here's a bit about him. Karl Iglesias has been a writer for over 20 years now with varying degrees of success — an option here, a couple of contest finalists and winners there, an indie development deal, many writing and script-doctoring assignments, a TV spot for a Coca-Cola campaign — and of course, his first published book, The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters, which ignited my unplanned teaching and consulting career, and his second book, Writing for Emotional Impact. Since then, he has contributed to two other books on the craft, Now Write! Screenwriting and Cut to the Chase.In between teaching and consulting, Karl keeps busy script doctoring for other writers, directors, and producers when the work comes his way, while developing his own scripts, having about ten projects in various stages of development.Enjoy your sneak peek of BPS newest audiobook in our on-going screenwriting series.
