From hoodies to hip-hop, from cultural influence to corporate boardrooms—your identity is your brand's greatest asset. In this Masterclass episode, Evante Daniels returns to unpack the power of authenticity in branding and how embracing your unique identity can translate into profitability. We explore the psychology behind brand confidence, the impact of personal style in professional spaces, and why cultural IP is one of the most undervalued assets in business.But here's the truth—if you don't tie your branding and positioning to ROI, the market won't either. Evante breaks down why companies cut diversity initiatives, why cultural branding often gets overlooked, and how Black entrepreneurs can strategically position themselves to not just be seen, but to drive revenue and business growth. It's not just about showing up—it's about making sure your presence is tied to measurable impact, market share, and long-term brand equity.We also break down real-world examples of cultural branding done right—from hip-hop moguls to streetwear legends—and how businesses can leverage their narratives to elevate influence, establish credibility, and turn cultural capital into actual capital.Whether you're a creator, executive, or entrepreneur, this conversation will challenge you to rethink your brand positioning, embrace your full identity, and ensure your brand isn't just culturally relevant—but financially powerful.Tap in for Part 3 of this powerful Masterclass with Evante Daniels!

Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.On this episode, permaculture expert, pleb miner and Meshtadellian Rev Hodl rejoins the show to talk about nostr, cultural capital and the happenings on the Michigan homestead.SHOW DISCUSSIONRev Hodl discusses his efforts to build a self-sustaining, circular economy centered around his Bitcoin-focused homestead. He explains how he integrates various systems like rabbit farming, cannabis cultivation, and Bitcoin mining to maximize efficiency and minimize waste. A key focus is developing a local Bitcoin community in Michigan, where Rev Hodl shares his knowledge and excess production with other Bitcoiners. This allows him to distribute his natural capital, like food and seeds, while also learning from others and strengthening the cultural capital of the group. Rev Hodl emphasizes the importance of avoiding centralized, KYC-based interactions in favor of building a decentralized, peer-to-peer economy within the Bitcoin community. He sees this as crucial for developing true resilience and self-reliance, rather than relying on traditional financial systems.Throughout, Rev Hodl highlights the permaculture principles guiding his approach - minimizing waste, maximizing productivity, and cultivating mutually beneficial relationships. He sees this as a model for how Bitcoin communities can thrive by focusing on the holistic development of various forms of capital, not just financial.8 Forms of Captial: https://www.7thgenerationdesign.com/creating-resilient-wealth/Michigan Bitcoiners: https://michiganbitcoiner.com/Nostr: https://njump.me/npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z1st Podcast Appearance: https://ungovernablemisfits.com/podcast/bud-bunnies-bitcoin-and-permaculture/IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comSHOW SPONSORSFOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, welcome Reaxionario, a Twitter personality deeply immersed in Argentine politics and geopolitics. We discuss Argentina's turbulent political history, from the rise of Peronism to the current economic policies under Javier Milei. Our conversation weaves through the complexities of socialism, populism, and the global shifts in economic power, touching on the failures of central banking, the erosion of middle-class values, and the emerging counterculture on the political right. For more, follow Reaxionario on Twitter @reaxionario.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:32 Global Markets and Economic Trends03:13 Argentina's Economic History and Central Bank05:35 The Rise and Fall of Argentina's Economy13:30 Peronism and Its Impact on Argentina20:29 Modern Political Movements in Argentina33:27 The 2020 Pandemic and Its Aftermath36:21 The Argentine Way of Defiance37:20 Economic Struggles and Public Resentment40:35 The Rise of Javier Milen42:31 Middle Class and Inflation46:45 The Welfare State Debate52:38 Youth Rebellion and Kirchnerismo54:59 Global Counterculture and Humor01:02:11 Decentralized Movements and Optimism01:05:18 Conclusion and Future OutlookKey InsightsThe Erosion of Argentina's Middle Class: One of the central themes is the decline of Argentina's middle class, which has been squeezed by inflation, high taxes, and policies that favor the political elite and public sector employees. Reaxionario argues that decades of socialist and Peronist policies have created a two-tiered society where the bureaucratic class prospers, while the middle class steadily shrinks, losing access to the cultural and material wealth it once enjoyed.Javier Milei as a Refined Populist: Unlike populists such as Donald Trump, Javier Milei is presented as a more intellectual figure, grounded in a deep understanding of economics and a clear vision for dismantling Argentina's welfare state. Milei channels the anger of a disenfranchised population, especially among the youth, but his appeal lies in his coherence and refined arguments, not just in emotional rhetoric.The Failure of the Welfare State: The episode emphasizes that Argentina's welfare state, which initially provided comfort for the middle class, has failed over time. Reaxionario points out that the system is unsustainable, creating temporary prosperity by consuming wealth created in previous generations while leaving future generations without the means to produce new wealth. This mirrors a broader global trend where welfare states are collapsing under the weight of unsustainable promises.Argentina's Role as a Bellwether for the West: Reaxionario suggests that Argentina is a microcosm of what is happening—or will happen—across Western nations. Once a prosperous country in the early 20th century, Argentina's descent into populism, central planning, and the erosion of individual freedoms mirrors what is now happening in Europe and the U.S. Argentina, having already reached the extreme, may offer insight into the future trajectory of other nations struggling with similar economic and political dynamics.Youth Rebellion Against the Political Class: A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to understanding how Argentina's younger generations have rallied around Milei. After suffering through the longest lockdown in the world and seeing the failures of the Kirchnerist elite, young Argentines are rejecting the political establishment. This generation, stifled by economic hardships and a bleak future, sees Milei as a vehicle for real change and an escape from the political class's control.The Impact of the 2020 Pandemic: The pandemic served as a tipping point for many Argentines, exacerbating societal divisions and heightening resentment toward the ruling elite. The long lockdown, particularly in Buenos Aires, crippled the economy while exposing the hypocrisy of the political class, as government officials flouted their own lockdown rules. This fed into a broader distrust of the government, fueling the rise of figures like Milei who promise to dismantle these failed structures.The Global Counterculture Shift: Reaxionario posits that there is a new, decentralized counterculture rising on the political right, much like the left-wing counterculture of the 1960s. This movement is characterized by a rejection of progressive authoritarianism, particularly in humor, free speech, and economic freedom. This counterculture is spreading globally and has found fertile ground in Argentina, where the failure of leftist policies is most visible. This marks a significant shift as the left-wing establishment is now the authoritarian force, while the right becomes the voice of rebellion and change.

How can Black women leverage mentorship and sponsorship in white workplaces?Black women's advancement in Canadian workplaces is not guaranteed – in fact, it's often impeded by negative stereotyping and experiences that lead to burnout and “racial battle fatigue.” To find meaning and success, Black women can intentionally build goal-based networks, look outside the box for the right mentoring relationships, and seek sponsors who recognize rather than minimize their cultural capital. Within organizations, being an ally means valuing and supporting this work while recognizing the costs of inaction.On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Rochelle Ramathe, DEI strategist and author of Black Faces in White Spaces. They discuss the importance of mentorship and sponsorship for Black women. She emphasizes the difference between the two, and shares how to leverage both when navigating white-centric workspaces.Keep Up with Rochelle:https://www.rochellespeaks.info/Become a Learning Snippets Partner: https://dialectic.solutions/learning-snippets/become-a-partner/Try Learning Snippets:https://dialectic.solutions/signupContact Us to Be a Guest on Just One Q:https://dialectic.solutions/podcast-guest
We know that liberal democracy in America has always contained contradictions–all men are created equal as slavery defines the economic order of the Revolutionary moment, as one example.

In this episode I am sharing what I have come to call the 7th Generation Principle - a principle guide post of sorts that I've been refining for nearly 10 years now to help guide my design work (for my own life and for others) in the direction of inter-generational regeneration. Basically, it seems like throughout human history we've actually lived in a truly sustainable fasion - i.e. regeneratively. Some of those examples even persisted for quite some time, but now we are left with very few intact cultures that can successfully transmit the cultural values of regeneration through time from one generation to the next. Even those that still exist are struggling to keep it up. This principles is my attempt at refining design imperatives such that we prepare fertile soil for the values of regeneration to once again take root in the hearts and minds of the up and coming generations, and for them to have the tools to successfully transmit those values to their descendants. We'll break down all the context and various pieces of it in the podcast, but here it is in full: A 7th generation system creates socially and economically fulfilling lives for its inhabitants, whose daily activity patterns regenerate natural ecosystems and increase living capital year over year, such that the economic and social value of natural ecosystems is always increasing, and the value-ing of those systems is transmitted intact across generations. In this episode I'll walk through the questions that led to me writing this principle this way, and the ways to apply it in your own lifestyle design using the Regenerative Triple Bottom Line - Economic, Social and Ecological to create guiding criteria and questions to assess if you're on target or not.

The gap between criticism and scholarship looms large, as does the utility of Panofsky's 1940 distinction between "monuments" and "documents." they ask what sorts of cultural documents achieve aesthetic memorability, for good or for ill.

Darren Lester hosts a broad discussion around bridging the cultural gap in language learning. Darren asks why is there a cultural capital chasm and why does it exist? What are the implications of this on learners now and in the future? How can languages become more accessible and inclusive for learners (regardless of their background, ability or reason for studying) What are the practical steps schools, awarding bodies and others can take to bridge the gap? Darren is joined by an expert panel that includes: Fiona Pryce - Pearson MFL product manager Katy Lewis - Head of qualifications and curriculum for Pearson Adam Lamb - Subject Lead in a UK State School for MFL Olga Pelaez Alvarez - Profesora en la Eoi de Tarazona (Zaragoza, Spain) If you want to find out more about Pearson's new MFL GCSE qualifications, please visit: https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/subjects/languages.html

Cultural capital | Cultural capital is a sociological term used to define the tangible and intangible social assets of a person or organization, such as education, intellect, style of speech, dress, behaviors, etc. that promote social mobility and the ability to influence others in a particular situation based on shared elements of culture. Cultural capital functions as a social relation within an economy of practices and includes specific knowledge and shared experiences that confers social status, power and inclusive.
Creating Cultural Capital through Storytelling and Traditions.Our guests share their favorite personal Christmas holiday stories:Grant Payne of HomesteadofPayne on Instagram from Episode 58.Matt from FarmHopLife.Melody and Eric from the Homebirth on the Homestead episodes 38 and 43 tell about how they create memories by playing (usually argumentative) games on Christmas. (Maybe that's a little Festivus thrown in?)Scott tells stories of growing up in Iowa during the "Global Cooling" scare. There was snow on the ground from November until March. The lakes and rivers froze, and there were snowmobile tracks along all of the roadways.Storytelling is important.You build Cultural Capital through Stories, Songs, Rituals, and Traditions.Let's face it – our kids are chronically challenged with their sense of identity, where they fit in the world, and their sense of place.Ask yourself – what does Christmas look like to me? (in my memories)This Christmas/Holiday season, share the things that are important to you.Get your kids out of the bubble. Show them where you grew up. Share what Christmas means to you. Ask them questions about what it means to them.Give experiences rather than things. Very few people remember what they got for Christmas last year, let alone five years ago. But they remember the experience, the time, the place.“You are building Cultural Capital whether you know it or not.” - PerpendEpisode website: https://thrivingthefuture.com/holiday-storiesJoin the Thriving The Future Community - Telegram Group or mailing list: https://signup.thrivingthefuture.comSponsors:The Homestead Journal: https://thehomesteadjournal.net/Grow Nut Trees - Elderberry cuttings and comfrey (crowns and root cuttings) now available! - https://grownuttrees.com/
Happy Holidays from The Modern Moron recorded this day, the 25th of November, 2022. It's Black Friday and there's no place I would rather NOT be than a mall, A Walmart, a Best Buy or an Amazon. Also, I literally got back from the grocery store and I thought I was going to have to take out a Home Equity Loan. I just paid over $5 for a dozen eggs. What the ever-loving- @##$%? At what point is it going to be …. That'll b e a dollar…. Another dollar…. Okay, two for one. Thanks Grandpa Joe… for all the inflation. It's your fault. Your fault there's global inflation. Whatever country your in, it's that political leader's fault that there is global inflation. If you live in Canada, Thanks Trudeau. If you live in China, thanks JinPing. Great Britain's revolving door… thanks Sunak. Or can we still blame Boris Johnson? Thanks Bo-jo. Or let's lay that on Liz Truss! She was only there 50 days, it's all her fault. Thanks Liz. But let's stay in Great Britain, because… My guest is the Senator's daughter who has been on this show multiple times, this time from Edinburgh, Scotland! She is attending the University of Edinburgh getting her Master's degree in Art History. We talk about: How wonderful and nice the people of Scotland are, dispelling the U.S. notion that everyone there is groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons. The Art History Masters degree she is achieving specifically is in accessibility, and as I said in the previous episode, we're not talking ramps and wider doorways, but accessibility in a broader sense. Is it accessible to all social classes, ethnicities and cultures and are they all represented in art museums? We talk about those little plaques next to the artwork that I almost never read. Are they accessible to all? I bring up something used in internet web content design and development called the Hemingway app. Hemingway's style of writing, as you may already know, is very concise and direct. There's not a lot of flowery language in it which allowed him to get to the point more quickly. It's very efficient. And now… there's an app for that. And it's called hemingwayapp.com . It's free. You go there, paste in your composition, or write in the page and the app will analyze your writing as you go. It will highlight areas where your sentences and paragraphs can be made more simple. We talk about her roommates in her flat… there's 5 of em! She brings up the term “Cultural Capitol” which is a theory created by this french guy Pierre Bordieu who was a French sociologist and public intellectual. Seriously? There's an occupation called Public Intellectual? What's the annual salary of a Public Intellectual. I'm a private intellectual. I'm the most intellectual person in my bathroom at any given time. Back to Cultural Capital. I'm going to read you a few sentences about Cultural capital and the sentences are a little too complex to be comprehended by some individuals, which lowers their Cultural capital and creates further inaccessibility. Inaccessibility to knowledge. Confused? Me too. Cultural capital is defined as the social assets of a person that can be used to increase one's chances of success in life. These assets can be either tangible, such as clothes or educational certificates, or intangible, such as knowledge or life experiences. While everyone has some form of cultural capital, those from higher social classes tend to have more of it. This is because they have greater access to resources that can help them develop their skills and talents. Additionally, they are more likely to inherit cultural capital from their families. Cultural capital is not a static concept; it can change over time as people gain or lose access to resources. For example, someone from a lower social class who manages to get a college degree has increased their cultural capital. Similarly, someone from a higher social class who drops out of school may have lost some of their cultural capital. And, the meaning of cultural capital is not necessarily static. The social assets that society values can shift over time. There are three types or “states” of Cultural Capital: 1) There is the “Embodied” state which is the capital you have from your life experiences, learning your A,B,C's and being read to all the way through education and socialization. 2) the second state is called the “Objectified” state, more commonly known about twenty years or so ago as “bling”, “cheddar”, “lit”, “Gucci”, etc. And it's not just slang as we see it everywhere. I drive a Ford Pickup and you drive a Mercedes or a Lexus or a Tesla, you've got more “Objectitfied” cultural capital than me. Your grocery bags say Whole Foods, my grocery bags say Grocery Outlet. You get it. 3) Finally, there is “Institutionalized” Cultural Capital which is the way society measures social capital. The classic example of this is formal academic degrees; a masters degree carries more capital than a bachelors degree, a PhD even more and so on. And let's not forget the degrees on the opposite end of academia, that being degrees from the School of Hard Knocks. Depending on the culture, there may not be much perceived value on a degree from that institution or street smarts, but if you do have it, you can still gain your objectified capital (cha-ching). She uses the expression or notion that museums and the historically European art contained within is “The purveyor of absolute fact”. And as part of the study of Art, she challenges that notion. I hope I'm getting this right, otherwise she could sue me for defamation! The point, as I understand or misunderstand it is when she says there should be multiple entry points that visitors to a museum can access the art. Something for everyone. I liken it to the ski trails at a ski resort. There's the green circle or the bunny hills. If you know a little more about art you can tackle the blue trails; I think it's a blue square? Then if you're really down with the art, you can tackle the black diamond explanation of the painting or whatever the hell you're looking at. Okay, enough babbling out of me, it's time to learn about Art Accessibility, Scotland style. Grab yourself an Irn-Bru, unless it's time for a wee bit o' whiskey. As the lassie and me have a little Blether. Keeut Tine-g .. to TMM. Thanks for listening. CLOSE - The Modern Moron equates Cultural Capital to Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. You know, as far as great speeches from a movie go, I will put Gene Wilder's rant up against the best of them. Gordon Geko and his “Greed is Good” speech or even Gary Cooper in his “Luckiest Man on The Face of the Earth” speech… a lot of the best speeches are from sports movies. Especially if you're a misogynist moron like me. I think we should do an episode on the best speeches from great movies. What do you think? Maybe some of them would apply to today as much as when we saw them on the big screen? But that is for another day. Thank you to my guest and best wishes on her upcoming Masters degree. Thank you for listening and we'll see you next time on TMM.

'The Tip of the Pyramid: Cultivating Community Cultural Capital' (University of New Orleans Press, 2022) by writer and activist Tony Diaz, known as El Librotraficante, was published ten years after Arizona officials enforced a ban on Mexican American Studies. Diaz drove throughout the Southwest on his way to Arizona—with a caravan of Houston activists that included poet Lupe Mendez, Liana Lopez, Bryan Parras, and Laura Razo—after the state banned high school Mexican American studies programs, thus outlawing curriculums that consisted of books like The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros; The Months and Other Stories by Helena Maria Viramontes; Luis Urrea's The Hummingbird's Daughter and The Devil's Highway, among others. Diaz's The Tip of the Pyramid addresses the power and importance of cultural and community capital as a source of “self empowerment of our gente.” In this episode of OP Talks, he discusses the new book with Dr. Angela Valenzuela, director of the University of Texas Center for Education Policy, and doctoral student and longtime educator Patricia Núñez. They also discuss his activism work with the nonprofit he founded, Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say, and the mobilization of librotraficantes to fight bans on Latino authors and ethnic studies. Diaz notes that, with the national politicalization of school boards and book bans still taking place today, the need to work on behalf of the Latino community remains urgent. He shares a story about visiting the Mayan archaeological complex Teotihuacán in Mexico: While to some it is a tourist trap, for Diaz it proved to be a spiritual experience that made him feel both thrilled and angry. He remembers sitting on the steps of this ancient city, “having all these revelations in my mind” and thinking, “Wow, we have [been] brainwashed. I am standing on the proof of our gente's power, beauty, intelligence, and this has been kept from me, and the fact that this structure here exists is testament to all that.” The media, Diaz laments, constantly fails to accurately represent the Latino experience: “The forms that exist, especially from corporate media and corporate publishing, do not fully convey our experiences and, in some cases, they just erase us.”

Taking cultural capital seriously changed the trajectory of my life and helped me discover a new frame in which I can live out my faith. I thought it might be helpful for Mike and I to revisit this idea, for our audience as well as for me personally. This is a complex topic with many layers. Mike and I will be pulling those layers apart over the next few weeks. This is the final part in our series and I spent some time recapping my experience following Mike down this rabbit hole of cultural capital. This episode became a good example of what Mike calls “scripting”. As I tease out my experience, Mike picked up on a specific word choice I used and we spent time unpacking the non-conscious influences shaping that word choice. It's an example of the regular conversations Mike and I enjoy. Books mentioned in this episode: Joy at Work: A Revolutionary Approach To Fun on the Job - Dennis W.

We examine the forces and individuals that have shaped food culture, investigate how our tastes change with age, and ponder how taste is evaluated by arbiters like the Michelin guide and food media. Chef Val Cantu of Californios, the only two-Michelin-star Mexican restaurant in the world, addresses racist stereotypes around Mexican food. We speak with author Mayukh Sen about his recent book, Taste Makers, which tells the stories of seven immigrant women who have influenced American cuisine. A brief look at the history of the Michelin guide reveals the organization's involvement in French colonialism, and accusations of cultural bias in the star selection process. Plus, we learn how our physical senses of taste and smell change over time.Further Reading:If you are interested in dining at Californios, you can make reservations here.
