Kennen Sie das? Man müsste unbedingt die Steuererklärung machen oder die Garage aufräumen, ein wichtiges Gespräch führen oder einen Arzttermin vereinbaren. Aber irgendwie schiebt man diese Dinge vor sich her. »Das erledige ich morgen« – ein Ausdruck, den wohl jeder schon mal genutzt hat und bei dem mit »morgen« nicht zwingend der Folgetag gemeint ist. Manche Dinge verschiebt man eben gerne. In Deutschland vertagen Menschen am häufigsten Hausarbeiten wie Aufräumen, Wischen oder Fenster putzen (39 Prozent). Auch die Steuererklärung wird von den Bundesbürgern gerne hinausgezögert (28 Prozent). Prokrastination ist übrigens die wissenschaftliche Bezeichnung für Aufschiebeverhalten.Einer der führenden Spezialisten in Sachen »Prokrastination« ist Joseph Ferrari von der DePaul University in Chicago. Er fasst seine Forschungsergebnisse knapp zusammen: »Jeder schiebt auf, jeder. Es ist keine Unart, sondern eine menschliche Eigenschaft. Unterschiedlich ist nur, welche Art von Arbeiten jemand aufschiebt und wie oft man es tut.« Bei manchen Dingen ist das Verschieben kein großes Problem, solange sie irgendwann erledigt werden. Es gibt allerdings Bereiche, in denen das Aufschieben schwerwiegende Folgen haben kann, beispielsweise bei medizinisch erforderlichen Therapien.Auch die Bibel spricht von der großen Gefahr, wichtige Entscheidungen zu verschieben. Die wichtigste Entscheidung ist die Antwort auf die Einladung Gottes zu einem erfüllten Leben mit ihm selbst. Die Bibel spricht in unserem Tagesvers vom »Heute«, also von der Dringlichkeit der Einladung Gottes. Diese Einladung sollte man nicht vor sich herschieben. Es gibt nämlich ein »zu spät«. Die Folgen werden schwerwiegender sein als eine nicht gemachte Steuererklärung.Thomas KröckertskothenDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.de

This episode features Marc Jason Grens, President of Chaintrax. Marc has led Chaintrax for twelve years, growing it from a compliance and anti-money-laundering firm in cash-to-crypto services into a licensed blockchain forensics practice after entering the ransomware payment business in 2017. He has since advised on more than 4,000 incidents. In this episode, Marc explains why ransomware victims decide to pay, why that payment can violate US sanctions law if it isn't vetted first, and why tracking the money afterward is how law enforcement works to recover it. This episode makes the case that paying a ransom is only the beginning of a compliance and recovery process, not the end of one. Guest Bio Marc Grens is the President of Chaintrax,  which has been providing cutting-edge financial, technological, and consulting services for the payments and incident response industry for the last 12 years. He is a serial entrepreneur with more than 15 years of experience in the investment industry. Prior to Chaintrax, Marc held senior positions at Charles Schwab, HighTower Advisors, and Alpha Strategies. He received his M.B.A. from the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business at DePaul University in 2010, and a B.A. from Illinois State University. Marc is an active angel investor and serves on multiple advisory boards of companies in the Chicago tech community.

Episode #231 of the PricePlow Podcast is a science deep dive, and this one comes with tons of citations. Dr. Daniel Traylor, a protein and amino acid researcher at DePaul University, joins Jim McMahon of Fit Foods to launch PVL’s ISO CLEAAR, a dairy-free protein drink built around Leuvate, Traylor’s leucine-forward essential amino acid blend making its first commercial appearance. Traylor has spent close to 15 years studying how fast different protein sources and amino acid forms show up in the bloodstream, and this episode walks through that research paper by paper, from a 2012 dose-threshold study out to Traylor’s own ongoing GLP-1 crossover trial. McMahon, who’s been building Fit Foods since 1996 (he joined us on Episode #215 to talk protein price shocks and the Mutant story), explains why he built ISO CLEAAR around collagen, pea, and fava protein instead of whey, and why absorption speed matters as much as total EAA content.

In this week's episode, Dustin speaks with Dr. Daniel Allen, President of La Salle University, about the institution's remarkable turnaround and the leadership principles behind its recognition as the "Comeback College." Rather than chasing flashy higher education trends, Dr. Allen shares how La Salle leaned into its core identity—prioritizing teaching excellence, student success, and a strong sense of community—to reverse enrollment declines and strengthen its financial position. The conversation also examines how institutional leaders can navigate uncertainty by making disciplined, mission-driven decisions, investing in areas of genuine strength, and resisting the temptation to pursue every new opportunity. Ultimately, Ian provides a compelling reminder that sustainable innovation comes not from becoming everything to everyone, but from becoming the best version of who you already are. Guest Name: Dr. Daniel Allen, President, La Salle University Guest Social: LinkedIn Guest Bio: Daniel J. Allen, Ph.D., is the 30th President of La Salle University. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in Catholic higher education, Dr. Allen is leading La Salle's strategy focused on enrollment growth, student retention and enhancing the student experience. Prior to joining La Salle, Dr. Allen served as senior vice president for advancement and external relations at DePaul University and held leadership roles at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy, Lewis University and Loras College. He earned his Ph.D. in education from Loyola University Chicago and continues to pursue his interest in postsecondary educational access for low-income students. He also serves on the board of the International Association of Lasallian Universities, a global network of 64 universities. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Dustin Ramsdellhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dustinramsdell/About The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Geek is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

What happens to your retirement portfolio when the next major market downturn arrives? Markets can spend years moving higher, making it easy to forget how quickly conditions can change. Preparing for uncertainty often starts long before volatility returns. In this episode, Robert Curtiss speaks with James St. Aubin, CFA®, CAIA®, Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager at Ocean Park Asset Management, about protecting portfolios during market declines without relying solely on traditional diversification.  They explore trend following strategies, downside risk management, investor psychology, portfolio construction, changing stock and bond correlations, the strengths and limitations of AI investment tools, and why maintaining a disciplined investment process becomes increasingly important as retirement approaches. Key points: How trend following strategies seek to reduce large portfolio drawdowns through disciplined investment rules Why diversification alone may not provide enough protection during certain market environments How retirement timing changes an investor’s ability to recover from significant portfolio losses What recent bond market performance reveals about changing stock and bond correlations Why AI investing tools should support, rather than replace, thoughtful financial decision making And more!

Parents often assume their teen's school counselor can handle every part of the college planning process, but the reality is far more collaborative.In this episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins and Stephanie Simpson, CEO of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), explore how the right team and a foundation of self-awareness can help students make thoughtful college decisions.In this episode, Lisa and Stephanie discuss:How school counselors, independent educational consultants, and families each contribute to college planningWhy self-awareness should guide college and career decisions from the startWhen outside college planning support can benefit students and familiesWhat to consider when choosing an independent educational consultantKey Takeaways: Start career and identity exploration before college applications so students make decisions based on who they are, not deadlines.Independent educational consultants help students present their authentic story and find the right college fit, not improve their admissions odds.Many begin in junior year; starting by sophomore year creates more time for thoughtful course selection, extracurriculars, and summer opportunities.Choose an independent educational consultant whose expertise matches your student's needs and complements the school counselor's support. “Independent means that these counselors do not receive any compensation from a program, school, or university to place or recommend a student, so they really can provide that unbiased advice.” – Stephanie SimpsonAbout Stephanie Simpson: Stephanie Simpson is the Chief Executive Officer of IECA, the leading professional organization for independent educational consultants supporting students and families through college and career planning.

Hi, friends, and welcome back to our series, "On Becoming: The Art and Craft of Personal Storytelling." I'm Tom Campbell, former Pomona and Holy Cross admissions officer, and one of the CEG podcast co-hosts, alongside my lovely colleagues Tillie and Ethan. In this series, we take a close look at personal essays written by real students, talking about why we love them, what makes them work, and how they came to be.  In this episode, we break down an essay that we're calling The Translator. This student, who worked with one of our amazing essay coaches Lavon Robinson a few years back, wanted to share how he acted as a translator not just for his brother on the autism spectrum, but for other neurodivergent students in his school and wider community. It's a model for anyone who wants to write an essay about a relationship that's been particularly meaningful to them, but is nervous about making the essay too much about the other person. If you're the kind of person who enjoys seeing how things get made, whether it's a great meal, a film scene, or a piece of writing, I have a feeling you might enjoy this one. Lavon (he/him) has always been a coach. From managing fundraising campaigns, teaching swimming, and school counseling, Lavon finds joy in coaching others to find their joy. He earned his BA in Business from Illinois Wesleyan University and his M.ED from DePaul University. He also has a College Counseling Certificate from UCSD. He currently works as a school counselor at an independent school in Chicago after spending eight years as a college counselor at a large suburban high school. He has hosted webinars with 500+ families on how to best work with their school counselor and visited various colleges around the country for professional development. His students have been accepted to colleges including Northwestern University, the University of Southern California, Williams College, and the University of Florida. At the core of his work is building connections with unconditional positive regard as he works with students to build trust and reach their potential. He understands the college admissions process is stressful and takes the most joy in supporting students to relieve anxiety while going through the process. We hope you enjoy.    Play-by-Play 3:15 – Lavon shares his path from school counseling to becoming a CEG essay coach 6:52 – What kinds of students does Lavon tend to be matched with as a CEG essay coach? 9:29 – How does Lavon use CEG's brainstorming exercises to help students reflect, even outside of essay coaching? 10:49 – What has surprised Lavon most about being an essay coach, and how has his perspective grown? 13:01 – Do college essays need a title? 14:06 – Lavon introduces the student behind "The Translator," and how he arrived at CEG already deep into drafts about his brother 18:41 – How many drafts did it take to find the right balance between the brother and the student himself? 21:16 – Which brainstorming exercises helped unlock the "translator" theme? 27:01 – How does Lavon connect a student's roles and identities to CEG's admission nutrients?  31:30 – Lavon reads the essay, which we're calling "The Translator"  36:27 – Which admission nutrients show up throughout the essay? 38:26 – What works well in this student's opening paragraph?  45:13 – How did Lavon help the student build more vulnerability into each draft? 46:13 – How does bringing in his own emotional experience keep the essay focused on the student, even while writing about his brother? 47:52 – How can students write about their extracurriculars without over-explaining them? 53:00 – How did Lavon coach the student to write about his research in an accessible way? 54:11 – What does it mean to be "strategically general" in a college essay? 59:48 – How does closing turn the essay's focus back to the student himself? 1:04:53 – Why small, specific details are what take an essay from good to great 1:05:59 – Closing thoughts    Resources "The Translator" Essay CEG's College Admission Nutrients (aka The Great College Application Test) College Essay Guy's Personal Statement Resources College Essay Guy's College Application Hub

You can see an array of the stills from Destroy All Monsters on my Instagram account. This is the swinging 60s Japan style! In 1968 ToHo studios decided to wrap up the Godzilla Franchise with a big bang! A Kaiju extravaganza featuring 11 monsters. Let me list them for you. Godzilla  Rodan Angurius Mothra (very tragically in larva form) Gorosaurus  Minilla (Godzilla's son who gives me the creeps. Sorry!)

In this episode, Casey speaks with photographer, filmmaker, and DePaul University professor James Choi, who returned to Seoul after 46 years away and came back with the images that became Seoul Days and Nights, a new photo book from Trope. They dig into what it means to photograph a city holding ancient tradition and radical modernity in the same frame, the slow disappearance of the small family-run food shops that give neighborhoods their character, and how the Korean social concept of nunchi - the unspoken ability to read a room - shapes James's entire approach to working on the street. In This Episode How a six-month sabbatical in Seoul turned into a photo book Photographing the tension between ancient palaces and glass skyscrapers - and why Seoul makes that contrast feel surprisingly at peace The vanishing mom-and-pop food culture, and what gets lost when it goes What nunchi is, why James's mother always said he had it, and how it cuts both ways as a street photographer The ethical lines James draws on the street - when he holds back and why The one image in the book that reminded him of his grandfather What he hopes a first-time Seoul visitor takes from the book vs. what he hopes a local sees Episode Promos Seoul Days and Nights — https://amzn.to/4xSLRZz StyleCloud website templates for photographers — https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/stylecloud | Code: NERDYPHOTO15 for 15% off Luminar Neo photo editing software — https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/luminar | Code: NERDYPHOTO for $10 off SiteGround web hosting — https://siteground.com/go/nerdy Support The Nerdy Photographer Sign Up for The Power Up - https://nerdyphotographer.com/newsletter Get some artwork from the print shop - https://art.caseyfphoto.com Buy some Nerdy Photographer Merch - https://nerdyphoto.dashery.com Use our link to buy new gear from Adorama - https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/adorama Use our link to buy used gear from KEH - https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/keh Follow along with us on social media @thenerdyphoto About My Guest James Choi grew up a latchkey kid in Chicago. His parents immigrated from Korea when he was five and worked six days a week, so from age six and Seven he was alone taking the bus, walking the city, learning to read people and places and light. He didn't know it then, but he was already doing what he'd spend his life doing: observing. Photography and eventually filmmaking came from that. His work has earned Awards at SXSW, Slamdance and Chicago International Film Festival. As an educator, James is also an assistant Professor at DePaul University where he founded Indie Studio, supporting students making their first independent features. Seoul Days and Nights is in some ways a return to the beginning except this time he was walking a city that looked like him. Seoul Days and Nights is available now - you can get it on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3QTxq6R. James Choi can be found on Instagram at https://instagram.com/JCPOV.

Most people know–or at least think they know–the role of a school-based counselor. What about all of the professionals in private practice who support families on their admissions journeys and more? Amy and Mike invited IECA CEO Stephanie Simpson to learn what an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) is and who needs one. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What role do Independent Educational Consultants (IECs) play in a student's academic journey, and how do they How can IECs complement the contributions of school counselors, especially in districts where high counselor-to-student ratios make individualized support difficult? At what point in a teen's academic journey can IECs be most valuable? What else do IECs offer beyond application coaching? What does a qualified, ethically grounded IEC practice look like in today's landscape, and how should educators and school counselors help families evaluate who they choose to work with?

TURING encapsulates the true story of Alan Turing, a man caught between love and logic, who simply longs to be understood. The project features an impressive lineup of talent, including Vincent Jamal Hooper, known for his roles in The Lion King and Hamilton, James Olivas from the West End production of EVITA, and Mason Olshavsky, who is currently in Lost Boys on Broadway and has appeared in EPIC and Off-Broadway's The Baker's Wife. Their participation adds a layer of depth and talent to the project, enhancing the emotional resonance of Turing's narrative. Also joining the TURING EP are talented UK performers Jacob Fowler and Aiden Carson.TURING unfolds through three pivotal stages of Alan Turing's life, exploring his relationships at ages sixteen, twenty-eight, and forty. With book, music, and lyrics crafted by Michuda and Ward, the narrative is presented in a non-linear fashion, skillfully weaving together moments of joy, discovery, love, and despair. This innovative approach allows listeners to engage with Turing's life on multiple levels, highlighting the profound impact of his work against the backdrop of a society that condemns you for being gay, no matter your status or contributions.The TURING EP will be available on all major streaming platforms, making it accessible to a wide audience. The EP will be progressively released over the next few months. Following its release, there are hopes to explore live performances and a full production of the musical 'TURING', which successfully ran at the Greenhouse Theater Center in Chicago as a production of DePaul University's Blue Demon Theatre. TURING was also awarded “Best Musical” and “Best Lyrics” out of 18 musicals featured at the 2024 Theatre on the Verge New Musicals Festival. This exciting project not only highlights Turing's significant contributions to science but also serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding and acceptance in society.

Send us Fan MailMagnus, a secular Swede in Big Sur, speaks with Father Cyprian Consiglio — musician, Camaldolese monk, former prior of New Camaldoli, and now Secretary General of Monastic Interreligious Dialogue in Rome — about vocation, music, solitude, Rome, Iran, God, and why real love may simply mean: “I'll be here tomorrow.”>>>>>>>>>Magnus speaks with Father Cyprian as an old Big Sur friend and as a secular Swede trying to understand what Christian depth can mean when inherited church culture has grown thin.The conversation moves from childhood memories of Chicago museums and the upheavals of 1968 to Phoenix rock-and-roll years, crisis, faith, New Camaldoli, chastity, silence, interreligious friendship, Iran, Rome, and love as the choice to stay.

Why do we procrastinate? Joseph Ferrari, a Professor of Psychology at DePaul University, has spent his career studying why we put things off, and says while some of us do it once in a while, 20 per cent of the population has a problem with serious, chronic procrastination. The good news: his research shows it's not genetic, or "natural" -- and Joseph Ferrari says there are steps you can take to turn things around and start getting stuff done.

Scott Paeth wrote Christianity and Identity during Trump's first term, expecting that by the time the book hit shelves the urgency would have passed. Then November happened again. So volume one of his new three-volume series Faith and Public Reason lands as the book on this moment — the one I have been waiting for someone with Scott's training to write. We start with Y2K as the real end of history (and my confession that peak humanity was 1999 because that is when The Matrix came out), move through the irony Niebuhr would have recognized on sight, name the three threads of authoritarianism Trump has been weaving — theocratic nationalist, technocratic libertarian, conspiracist — and turn toward what Scott is actually constructing: a public theology grounded in the dialectic of universal dignity and particular bonds, rooted in Bonhoeffer's prison poem, pointed toward a New Jerusalem whose gates are never shut. The closing move maps directly onto the Statue of Liberty. Volume two is on economics. I am already in line. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube About our guest Dr. Scott Ronald Paeth is Professor of Religious Studies and Peace, Justice, and Conflict Studies at DePaul University in Chicago, and pastor of Edgebrook Community Church (UCC) on the city's far northwest side. He has authored or edited nine books, including The Niebuhr Brothers for Armchair Theologians; Exodus Church and Civil Society: Public Theology in the Work of Jürgen Moltmann; Public Theology: Essays in Honor of Max Stackhouse; and Philosophy: A Short, Visual Introduction. The book at the center of this conversation is Christianity and Identity: Public Theology, Authoritarianism, and Democracy — Volume 1 of his new three-volume series Faith and Public Reason, out now from Cascade Books. Volume 2 will be on economics and public theology; Volume 3 on religion and society more broadly. He writes at scottpaeth.substack.com.

Congress passed a bipartisan package that aims to boost homeownership across the country. The legislation would restrict investors from buying up single-family homes, remove regulatory barriers to construction and create more affordable housing. However, President Donald Trump refused to sign the bill until lawmakers first passed a controversial law imposing new restrictions on voter identification and mail-in ballots. In the Loop explores what the impact of the bill could look like in Chicago and Illinois.

In The Invention of Order: On the Coloniality of Space (Duke University Press, 2026), Don Thomas Deere retraces the colonial origins of spatial organization in the Americas and the Caribbean and its lasting impact on modern structures of knowledge, power, race, gender as well as understandings of global modernity. The coloniality of space dispossessed Indigenous, African, and mixed populations as it constructed new systems of control and movement. Deere demonstrates how these developments manifested, among other forms, in urban grid patterns imposed during the development of Spanish colonial cities as well as totalizing trade routes crisscrossing the Atlantic. Drawing on a range of thinkers including Enrique Dussel, Édouard Glissant, and Sylvia Wynter, Deere reveals how movement—who travels, who settles, and who is excluded—becomes an essential component of control under colonial rule. Against the violence of spatial reordering, Deere outlines how novel forms of resistance and insurgency geographies still take hold, particularly in the Caribbean, where landscapes remain excessive, eruptive, and uncaptured by the order of modernity. Don Thomas Deere is Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Texas A&M University. He previously taught at Wesleyan University and received his PhD with distinction from DePaul University and BA from Cornell University. He is a Mellon Mays fellow and the recipient of a Mellon Career Enhancement Faculty Fellowship. His research focuses on the intersections of Latin American, Caribbean, and Contemporary Continental Philosophy.

In The Invention of Order: On the Coloniality of Space (Duke University Press, 2026), Don Thomas Deere retraces the colonial origins of spatial organization in the Americas and the Caribbean and its lasting impact on modern structures of knowledge, power, race, gender as well as understandings of global modernity. The coloniality of space dispossessed Indigenous, African, and mixed populations as it constructed new systems of control and movement. Deere demonstrates how these developments manifested, among other forms, in urban grid patterns imposed during the development of Spanish colonial cities as well as totalizing trade routes crisscrossing the Atlantic. Drawing on a range of thinkers including Enrique Dussel, Édouard Glissant, and Sylvia Wynter, Deere reveals how movement—who travels, who settles, and who is excluded—becomes an essential component of control under colonial rule. Against the violence of spatial reordering, Deere outlines how novel forms of resistance and insurgency geographies still take hold, particularly in the Caribbean, where landscapes remain excessive, eruptive, and uncaptured by the order of modernity.

North Carolina is one of the nation's top agricultural producing states. And it is also a state where one in seven residents don't have the resources to provide food on their table every day. Today, I'm talking with Amy Beros, president and CEO of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina - the state's largest food bank. Each year, this organization provides 95 million meals distributed through more than 700 partner agencies, food pantries, congregate meal sites, backpack programs. And they do this in 34 counties in the state. In our conversation today, we will explore the policy issues that this food bank and many food banks face. Interview Transcript Amy, I want to ask a really simple question about what got you to this place. So how in the world did you get involved in food banking? Oh, gosh. Well, you know, when I was growing up, I didn't know what food banking was. But I knew that it was our responsibility to make sure that neighbors helped neighbors. So, I grew up volunteering what I know now is a partner agency of the local food bank in my hometown. And as I moved across the country, I found ways to get involved. When I moved here to North Carolina about 16 years ago, I found food banks. I've been working professionally in food banking for a little over 12 years now. But I believe that food is a basic human right, and it has been my life's work to make sure that we're doing everything we can to ensure everyone has what they need. Thank you for sharing that. And I can imagine over the years, as I've also been involved in food banking but on the board side or as a volunteer, that this is a work that we sometimes think it's just about moving food and providing that. However, there's a whole policy framework that, sort of, surrounds and influences and shapes what food banking and what the work of the partner agencies, the food pantries on the ground, what they do. I wonder if you could help make this a little bit more real for us. Could you tell us a little bit about how policy becomes personal in your work? Can you share a moment when that really came true for you? Oh, I think the most recent blinding moment was last year during the government shutdown. Well, one, there's a lot of noise on TV right now, right, and in the media, but you hear of these massive numbers, and we know that our elected leaders are looking at these numbers on spreadsheets. And we see the humans behind those numbers and their stories. And these are thousands and thousands of stories like the ones that we hear about each day. Last year, during the shutdown, a father of five reached out to me and said, "I have five children. I work at the federal prison. I'm missing my second paycheck. For the first time in my life, I don't know how I'm going to put food on the table." Or the SNAP delay and disruption that we had. For the first time in our history during that shutdown, a mother reaching out and saying, "I don't know what to do. I've told my children to eat everything they can at school because I don't know what we're going to have when we get home, if we don't have these benefits." And that's just two stories and one crisis. And so many of our neighbors are living a crisis every day. These systemic issues. And we see those humans and hear their stories each day. And I think that's when it becomes personal. These decisions, one stroke of a pen, impacts food for hundreds of thousands of neighbors. Thank you for sharing that. I teach a class called the Economics of the Public Sector, and we often talk about policies that provide support to individuals. And it can be easy to talk about these policies as if they're just decisions that policymakers make, but there are real people who are dependent on these policies. And when they don't work or when rules change, it has significant implications for how people navigate. And so, I appreciate the work that you all are doing. I want to take a step back and talk about food banking. And while I know a lot of our listeners are familiar with food banking and food pantries, I do know that people kind of mix those two terms up. Amy, would you just tell us, broadly speaking, what's a food bank, and then what are the partner agencies. And how do they relate to one another? Yes, absolutely. Our food bank serves 34 counties in North Carolina. And as you shared, we work with over 700 partners. We work with growers. We work with over 80 local farmers in North Carolina. We work with manufacturers in North Carolina. We work with all of the retail chains to get food out into the community. And we do that primarily through those partners because they are embedded into the community. And what we're really proud of here, and I think something of how food banking has changed, you know, many people still think of a food bank as a dimly lit church basement pantry. And that maybe was food banking 30 years ago. But today it is part of the modern food system. We are a critical piece of infrastructure within the food system as part of the charitable food system. And one of the things that I'm most proud of is we live in North Carolina, this beautiful agriculture state, and over half of what we distribute each year is produce and protein. And that is what neighbors are asking for, too. Because neighbors want the healthy fresh foods, and it's also the most expensive to buy. And food banking today is not just focused on moving calories and getting pounds of food out to the community. It's focused on meals and nutritious meals and how to provide that nutrition education to make meals healthier. To use the types of foods you would get in a food pantry. For instance, I just learned at one of our nutrition demos this past weekend, you can leave the peel on a sweet potato, blend it up, and make it into a pancake. You never notice that you left it on there, but you get so much more fiber. And we're doing these types of trainings to help people make meals more nutritious, make meals go further, too, that they're getting. It's really a holistic approach. It's about being alongside community partners that are embedded into the community that are providing holistic supports like workforce development, job training, housing support. And we're that food portion as part of those agencies and making sure they have the right food and enough food to get out into the community. It's really helpful to hear the ways that food banking is adjusting. This idea you're no longer just this big organization that takes in a bunch of food and then distributes it through, you know, food pantries and what used to be called soup kitchens. But rather you're working with other community partners, you're working with farmers to find ways of moving food, but also providing opportunities and thinking about this almost as wraparound services. Are there other things that are being provided than just meals? I know I've been in pantries where there have been nurses, and there have been other support services like ways to sign up to SNAP. This is a sort of a series of overlapping and intersecting opportunities to help families meet their food needs, but more than that, their sort of broader set of needs. And I think this is a really critical way of understanding that food banking looks different than, like you said, grandmothers working in a church basement. I know that the work that food banks can serve as shock absorbers. When things go down, when things are problematic, food banks are there to sort of meet needs in a real way. We've seen a great deal of breakdown in policies over the last several months, and both at the state and at the national level. What does this shock look like to you and your partner agencies on the ground? It has been a tough year. You know, our budget went from 27% government funding and support to less than 10% in one year just because of decisions that were made in an instant. And there was no feedback structure. And I think that's one thing that I really pride our food bank on is the community feedback. We're constantly trying to engage with neighbors facing hunger, understand nobody knows what people facing hunger need more than the people who are literally experiencing it every single day. We try to ground all of our decisions in what is the community saying they need of us. And I think that is one of the things that's been so frustrating to see the decisions made this past year at the federal level. There's been no feedback. It's just numbers on a paper. And within, you know, a stroke of a pen, North Carolina lost $30 million for food purchased from North Carolina farmers for schools and food banks. And that was just North Carolina. It was one billion across the nation. And we're impacting people facing hunger, we're impacting farmers at the same time, and we have farmers who are saying, "I don't know if I'm gonna keep my family farm open." With SNAP, you know, we have cuts coming this year for SNAP and changes that are going to be detrimental for so many of our neighbors. And the cost shift to the states that are not prepared to take that. There's not a transition plan place. And SNAP is an economic driver. For every one meal a food bank provides, SNAP provides nine. We can't replace SNAP if we lose those meals. There's no possible way for us to charitable food our way out of that. But I don't think people realize the ripple impact of those decisions. So yes, it's going to impact people facing hunger. And eight out of 10 of those people on SNAP are working families, seniors, people with disabilities, our most vulnerable neighbors. And at the same time, we're going to see rural grocery stores close. We're going to see more farms close because for every dollar of SNAP, it means $1.50 to $1.60 back into the local economy. And that's going to be a detrimental effect that we can't turn around quickly. It's going to be long-term health impacts for neighbors because of the loss of this nutritious food and the loss of jobs. And we can't just flip a switch and turn that back on because of how damaging it's going to be to so many pieces of our economy. And when I say we can't charitable food our way out of it, we were meant to be here in times of crisis to stabilize and to be an ongoing support for people in the community during that time. But we were never meant to replace the safety net. At the same time, we're having all of these changes at the federal level. We're the only state in the country without a budget. There was another multimillion-dollar loss for food banks and farmers that was invested by the state to purchase from local farmers to go back to neighbors in need. And because we have not had that budget, we've not received those funds. And so, it's really been hit after hit, and we're seeing each one increasing need at our pantries. Right now, we know there's over 600,000 people facing hunger in our community, and we're hearing from our pantries 20% to 60% more than they're seeing last year. I think that 600,000 people number is actually very low, and we're going to see that continue to climb, unfortunately, because of all the changes we're experiencing this year. Amy, this is pretty sobering. And I realize that we're talking about issues that are also highly political. And I know you are leading in spaces where you have people who have differences of opinion about what policy should be. But a lot of these people are coming to the work of the food bank, either on the board or in partner agencies or wherever, donors even, because they care about addressing issues around hunger, right? So, how do you build trust? How do you work across these differences to help achieve the goals that food banking is supposed to achieve? I've never met a politician that told me they didn't like food banks or they didn't care about food banks. There's a lot on people's minds, and I think we need to be in front of our leaders more because there's so much coming at our elected leaders that it's hard for them to even understand everything that's happening in the community. It's hard for me to keep up with just what's happening in our sector, and I'm living it every day, because it's been so fast. I often say, you know, we can't be apolitical. We're nonpartisan, but food is political, so we can't be apolitical. But we'll always be nonpartisan, and we have incredible support from both political parties and all sides of the aisle. And I think we can go in, and we can argue all day long about what we disagree on, and there's much that people disagree on. It's filled in a time when everything feels like it can be political, and we're going to walk out, and we're both going to be mad, and neither one of us is going to change each other's mind. And so I think we have to walk into every conversation with what do we align on, and where can we do good together? Because there's always going to be things we disagree on, but I also know there's always things we align on. And how can we choose those things that we align on and do the most impact and the most good possible with that? Because nobody wants to see a child go hungry. No one wants a senior choosing between medicine and their food or their rent. And so how can we focus, and how can we be a voice to tell that human story that they might not be seeing or hearing enough of so that they understand those true impacts, and we can figure out a way to work together on those alignment? Yes. I think those are wise words given just the difficulty we're facing right now to find that common ground. To find ways of working together. I'm grateful for the way you are trying to navigate those differences to achieve the bigger goal. The goals that I think many of us want to see achieved. And so that brings me to this last question I want to raise with you. This is a challenging moment that we're in. I want to know what gives you hope, and where do you see people making real difference, despite the challenges that we face? This is bigger than me, this is bigger than you, this is bigger than the food bank. This is our community. This is the health of our community. And focusing on the health of our community, seeing what happened last year during the shutdown... the community responded in a way that was inspiring and breathtaking for neighbors, because they saw their neighbors hurting. And we are a community food bank. I might get emotional. I do get emotional often. Every day, and I can see them right outside my window right now, we operate because of thousands of volunteers who come here and choose to give their time to us. Thousands of donors who choose to give their money to make a difference in their community. Thousands of food partners who are choosing to work with us. And these more than 700 agencies, we are a community food bank. Our new strategic plan 2030 is called Rooted in Community. And it is grounded in what neighbors said they needed from the food bank, what we are uniquely qualified and able to provide for neighbors right now. And I think seeing that community aspect and seeing the community come together during times like this absolutely gives me hope. And we saw the impact on that on policy, too. During the shutdown, so many advocates reached out and said, "This is unacceptable." And Governor Stein's office invested $3.5 million in our food bank, $10 million across the state during that moment because he saw the need, but he, like we heard from the constituents. And I think seeing and watching how powerful people's voices are, it can't just be the food bank there. It has to be the community members saying, "This is unacceptable in our community." And when we see people come together and align on that, we see change, and that gives me hope. I also think our youth today gives me hope. I just watched a video on C-SPAN that our food bank participated in that two high school students here in Raleigh won an award about building food security in their community. I just talked with a Duke student last week, she's in a feminism and farm class, which is an incredible class that I want to take, I didn't know that existed. And talking about how we can make a change. And I see so many people coming together and truly aligning on what we agree on, and I think with that there comes a lot of power.

A Quick Note to Listeners: Before this week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke take some time to answer a listener question. This week’s question is: I've said yes to a new position within the district. How do I leave my current school in the best way possible while also doing my best to get ready for my upcoming role? Listen in to hear their response! Meet Dr. Erica Buchanan-Rivera: Dr. Erica Buchanan-Rivera is a fierce advocate for justice-centered work and humanizing approaches in educational environments. She has served in education for nearly 20 years as a teacher, an award-winning principal, director of curriculum, and a chief equity and inclusion officer in an urban and suburban school district. Dr. Buchanan-Rivera attended Butler University, where she received her Bachelor's in Elementary Education and Master's in School Administration. She completed her doctoral degree from Indiana State University in 2017. Currently, Dr. Buchanan-Rivera supports aspiring school leaders and educators as an Assistant Professor at DePaul University. She is also an educational consultant (EBR Educational Consultant) who focuses on ideological work to support culturally responsive practices and conditions for learning. Strategies for Effective Leadership: In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, the role of school leaders is more crucial than ever. Dr. Erica Buchanan-Rivera joins Dr. Jen Schwanke to share her experiences and strategies for effective leadership. In this episode, we explore the importance of identity-affirming cultures and the delicate balance between empathy and accountability in educational leadership. Dr. Erica Buchanan-Rivera, also known as Dr. EBR, has dedicated her career to fostering equitable educational environments. With a background as an award-winning principal and director of curriculum, she brings a wealth of experience to her current role at DePaul University. Dr. EBR’s journey began in Peoria, Illinois, where her early experiences in a predominantly white school ignited her passion for justice and advocacy in education. Using that background, Dr. EBR emphasizes the need for identity-affirming classrooms that center humanity. She believes that leaders should strive to create conditions for learning that eliminate barriers to achievement. She highlights that good intentions alone are insufficient; it is essential to actively work towards an inclusive environment. Dr. EBR introduces the concept of “mirror work,” which encourages leaders to reflect on their identities and the beliefs that shape their practices. She shares that self-reflection is vital for maintaining humanity in decision-making. By consistently engaging in this introspective process, leaders can better understand their impact on students and the school culture. Throughout her career, Dr. EBR has encountered various challenges that have shaped her leadership approach. One defining moment was her early transition to principalship, where she witnessed racial inequities within disciplinary procedures. This experience motivated her to advocate for culturally responsive teaching practices and to implement systems that address these disparities. One of the key challenges in leadership is ensuring genuine staff buy-in for new initiatives. Dr. EBR acknowledges that not all staff members will align with a leader’s vision. However, she stresses the importance of transparency and the willingness to accept that some resistance is natural. Engaging in open dialogue and demonstrating the positive impact of changes can help foster a supportive environment. Dr. Erica Buchanan-Rivera's insights offer valuable guidance for current and aspiring educational leaders. Her commitment to fostering identity-affirming cultures and her emphasis on self-reflection highlight the need for empathy balanced with accountability in leadership. By embracing these principles, leaders can create impactful educational experiences that promote equity and empower students to thrive.

Often, cases of sexual violence are treated as a criminal justice issue. But this approach can lead to repeated harm, doubt, and underreporting. Survivors, experts and service providers alike are calling on all of us to start viewing this as a public health crisis. In the Loop discusses how our approach to treating and preventing sexual violence could improve, and what resources exist to support and empower survivors in our area. Resilience clinical services supervisor Jillian Furey, DePaul University professor Megan Greeson and Department of Family and Support Services' Laura Ng all join us to dig into this issue.
