Do you ever think of what you eat as being political? Back in 2017, celebrity chef Mario Batali sent out an apology letter for the sexual misconduct allegations made against him and infamously included a recipe—for pizza dough cinnamon rolls. Shortly after Batali's recipe, went viral, Popular blogger Geraldine DeRuiter decided to make the recipe and then she wrote about it. Her subsequent essay, which documented each step of her cinnamon roll preparation but also tackled topics like misogyny in the food world, was read millions of times, lauded by industry luminaries such as Martha Stewart, and landed DeRuiter in the middle of an unanticipated media firestorm. Who knew dessert could be so controversial? If You Can't Take the Heat: Tales of Food, Feminism, and Fury is DeRuiter's new essay collection. The James Beard Award–winning blogger behind The Everywhereist addresses an array of topics, from being “hangry” to receiving death threats to meal-planning for the apocalypse. If You Can't Take the Heat aims to connect the broader culture to the culinary. This event may interest those curious about how patriarchy, pop culture, and plated dishes intersect, or who are just seeking some levity. Geraldine DeRuiter is the James Beard Award-winning blogger behind The Everywhereist and the author of All Over the Place: Adventures in Travel, True Love, and Petty Theft. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, The New Yorker's Daily Shouts, Marie Claire, and Refinery 29. She lives in Seattle with her husband, Rand, and the two of them are developing a culinary-themed video game. Scott Heimendinger is an inventor, culinary technologist, and the founder of Seattle Ultrasonics, as well as a former JBFA judge and a member of the Sous Vide Hall of Fame.

Words, Actions, and Where They Meet (featuring Alisha Beck, Jeremy DeRuiter, & Brie Roper)A dive into the principles guiding the Life You Love LaboratoryTMGUEST BIO:Alisha Beck, originally from southeast Michigan, has a rich background in people-oriented roles. Starting her career at Dunkin Donuts, she transitioned to BIGGBY® COFFEE where she has held various positions at store and home office levels, including personal development mentoring, culture development, and employee coaching.LinkedInJeremy DeRuiter's journey began as a barista at Michigan State University, leading to various roles at BIGGBY® COFFEE. With an initial ambition to become a high school teacher, he found his calling in training and operations within the company. His experience covers a broad spectrum, including training, operations, and marketing. Jeremy is now a key figure in the Life You Love LaboratoryTM, focusing on leadership development and improving workplace culture.LinkedInBrie Roper made her way from a job at TGI Fridays to a significant role at BIGGBY® COFFEE. Beginning as a barista, she moved through various positions including store leadership and business coaching, and now is a part of the home office team. Brie is loved at BIGGBY® COFFEE for her enthusiasm, commitment to positive workplace culture, and her role as a people development mentor.LinkedInCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[1:00] - The Power of the Words We UseWhy it's more than just semanticsOne thing that sets BIGGBY® COFFEE apart from some other organizations — and may seem at odds with its unconventional, progressive approach — is its emphasis on using the right language. As Laura says: “It's really freaking hard to keep language straight within an organization.”So, why does language matter? Because language shapes culture. The collective understanding and use of specific terms play a crucial role in defining the values and beliefs that underpin the organizational culture.[13:48] - Empower Individuals, Empower OrganizationsFocusing on the one elevates the manyIf you want to make your organization more successful, you have to focus on making your people more successful — not as employees, but as human beings. When you develop people from a holistic perspective, helping inspire personal growth, you ultimately enhance workplace culture and create a sense of well-being that leads employees to genuinely love working for your organization.[48:26] - Engagement: More Than a BuzzwordWhy employee engagement should be a top priority for any companyJeremy brings us back to basics with a simple, unavoidable question: “Are your people engaged, yes or no?”This might seem like an oversimplification, but the truth is that employee engagement might just be the #1 most effective measurement of success at an organization. Why? Because engaged employees indicate a culture of trust and psychological safety, both critical for a thriving work environment.[1:10:06] - What We Expect from Our WorkplacesIt's not 1920 — or even 2020 — anymore.Too many companies are still trying to give their employees what people were asking for a hundred years ago — or even five years ago. But what people want now is flexibility and openness. They want reasonable work arrangements, nurturing environments, open communication, and genuinely fulfilling relationships within their organization.Great human-centric leaders focus on giving them those things. As Mike says, “I want every employee to walk into work and demand human-centric leadership.” The goal is to transform workplace culture into one where leaders genuinely care for the well-being and development of their team members.RESOURCES:[9:21] BIGGBY COFFEE Franchising®[10:11] Live You Love LaboratoryTMFollow Alisha Beck:LinkedInFollow Jeremy DeRuiter:LinkedInFollow Brie Roper:LinkedInFollow Laura Eich:LinkedInFacebookInstagramFollow Mike McFall:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookXInstagramFollow BIGGBY® COFFEE & LifeLabTM:WebsiteFacebookXInstagramLinkedInAbout LifeLabTMABOUT LOVE IN LEADERSHIP:At the Life You Love LaboratoryTM and BIGGBY® COFFEE, we're out to prove that financial success and healthy workplace culture aren't two separate goals.

Can paid online leads be an untapped opportunity in your business?  Over the years, I've seen agents on the complete opposite end of the spectrum when buying leads. Some agents excel at converting the leads and are able to make it a part of their business strategy effectively. Others find cold leads difficult to nurture or don't enjoy the approach and the sales strategies behind it. At one time in my career, I oversaw online, company-generated brokerage leads and an agent internet-lead team. I've also been part of major paid lead launches and everything from strategies to attract more leads and how to work them through the sales funnel. So, I've been in it with you from a generation, conversion, and even accountability standpoint! So, the question remains - could online leads work for you and if they do, how do you not waste money when buying them? Throughout this conversation, we're talking about:  - How to evaluate where to get started and what lead source makes sense for you- The landscape of purchasing leads in today's market- How to leverage leads to build a database - The lifetime value of a lead and implementing a strategic program to nurture leads long-term- Script examples for exactly what to say when you call a leadTips and marketing strategies to increase lead conversion that will set you apartAnd some of the biggest mistakes agents are making when it comes to leads I'm joined by Scott DeRuiter who has nearly 20 years in the real estate industry and has held a variety of leadership positions including leading sales and business development at tech firms like Realtor.com and Top Producer, and is currently the Director of Sales and Partnerships at Sierra interactive - a website, CMR, and ad management platform. So, he not only has the insider knowledge from the tech perspective, he's also worked closely with agents and brokerages to find success with online leads. So, tune in to learn actionable strategies to turn your online leads into an investment that works for you!

Aujourd’hui l’Économie, le portrait est consacré en ce mois d’octobre, à différentes personnalités du monde économique aux États-Unis. À quatre jours des élections présidentielles, coup de projecteur sur Danielle DeRuiter-Williams, cofondatrice de la société californienne The Justice Collective, qui défend l’égalité des chances pour les Afro-Américains. Danielle DeRuiter-Williams le confirme, les inégalités raciales aux États-Unis sont criantes et se sont même creusées avec la crise du coronavirus. Elles ont coûté 16 000 milliards de dollars à l’économie américaine ces vingt dernières années et sont un manque à gagner de 5 000 milliards de dollars sur les cinq prochaines années, selon une récente étude de Citygroup. Changer la donne a été très tôt une priorité pour cette femme avenante de 35 ans : « J’ai grandi à Kalamazoo dans le Michigan et je suis métisse. Je m’identifie comme femme noire, mais ma mère est blanche et mon père noir et donc la question raciale a toujours été très personnelle. Poursuivre des études supérieures, accéder aux fonctions décisionnaires qui souvent échappent aux personnes comme moi, tout cela m’a motivé à faire en sorte que les entreprises deviennent une force qui instaure la justice et le changement. » Après un double Master en études afro-américaines et en urbanisme, et plusieurs expériences dans le monde associatif, Danielle DeRuiter-Williams a co-fondé, il y a cinq ans, The Justice Collective, un cabinet de conseil qui promeut l’emploi des Afro-Américains à des postes clé aux États-Unis : « Notre travail à Justice Collective consiste à améliorer les conditions de travail des entreprises, celles de tout le monde. Pas juste celles de quelques-uns. Donc, on se concentre sur la culture d’entreprise, son système de décision, ses préjugés, sa politique d’embauche et d’égalité de salaires... Nous établissons un bilan, nous formons les employés et les aidons à développer une stratégie d’équité sur le long terme. » Les choses avancent puisque l’entreprise vient de dépasser la barre du million de dollars de revenus. Ce n’est toutefois pas sans difficulté, quand on sait que les Afro-Américains, qui représentent 12% des actifs, ne sont que 17% à occuper de hautes fonctions : « C’est un défi, mais nous choisissons les gens avec qui nous travaillons. Nous avons eu des clients qui nous disent : "nous avons besoin seulement deux heures de coaching", mais nous répondons que nous n’offrons pas cela, nous offrons un partenariat de fond. Pour que l'équité soit possible, il faut pouvoir redistribuer le pouvoir et les ressources. Nos clients y sont favorables, mais quand il s’agit de passer à l’acte, de prendre des décisions transparentes, d’inclure les Noirs autour de la table des décisions, là, certains disent : houlà, je ne savais pas que ça impliquerait cela. À nous alors de les amener à nous faire confiance, car sans cette remise en question, ils ne pourront pas transformer leur entreprise. » La mort du noir américain George Floyd, tué par un policier blanc en mai à Minneapolis, et plus récemment celle de Jacob Blake, ont suscité aux États-Unis et ailleurs une vague de colère contre le racisme. Ces tragédies ont aussi réveillé les consciences du monde professionnel. Danielle DeRuiter-Wiliams : « Nos activités ont augmenté de 700%. Nous sommes passés de cinq demandes de clients par semaine à cinq par jour, ces quatre derniers mois. La différence, c’est que les chefs d’entreprises souhaitent des changements sur le plus long terme. Et puis aussi, ils s’expriment plus ouvertement sur le racisme, la suprématie blanche, la responsabilité collective face à ces injustices. Ils appellent un chat un chat et cela facilite notre travail. Mais nous sommes au cœur d’une crise politique de plus en plus terrifiante avec les élections qui approchent. Récemment Trump a même annoncé un décret contre les programmes de sensibilisation au racisme. C’est un recul inquiétant. » La politique économique de Donald Trump est aussi, pour la chef d’entreprise, un sujet qui fâche : « Les aides aux ménages de 1 200 euros et le chômage partiel sont des offres en trompe l’œil. Il ne faut pas oublier que nous n’avons pas de filet de sécurité, pas de sécurité sociale alors, je ne pense pas qu’il ait fait un bon boulot, non. » Danielle DeRuiter-Williams votera pour le démocrate Joe Biden, en attendant, dit-elle, un candidat plus « progressiste » peut-être dans quatre ans, lors de nouvelles prochaines élections présidentielles. ► Site internet The Justice Collective

Harkening back to a few other episodes, including Nilofer Merchant and Cindy Gallop, we talk with Geraldine regarding a very important topic in the digital world: online harassment. Why is this so important to talk about here? What does this have to do with strategy? Well, as Geraldine says during our discussion: "I think that there are certain companies that are struggling to figure out how to reach certain demographic groups, and part of that is because they have no one in that group at all represented at any point in their company." The missing link over and over again in marketing is that, all too often, we sit in an ivory tower and come up with ideas and campaigns in our boardrooms...boardrooms where only a small sliver of our audience is represented (if that!). This is a very important conversation and we hope you enjoy! Referenced: Geraldine on Twitter Geraldine's Blog Geraldine's fantastic award-winning article, "I Made the Pizza Cinnamon Rolls from Mario Batali’s Sexual Misconduct Apology Letter" The List of James Beard Award Winners The Tweet from Geraldine's husband, Rand Fishkin that captured her elation right after she found out she won Her follow up tweet, which was even more fun Nilofer Merchant discussing the importance of Onlyness in creating innovation Nilofer on AOAS Cindy Gallop in AOAS Why Won’t Twitter Treat White Supremacy Like ISIS?

In Episode 8, The Move Podcast interviews Danielle DeRuiter-Williams, formerly at the San Francisco Planning Department and founder of The Justice Collective. Co-hosts Ceasar and Ayushi laugh about the art of writing angry emails, why biking to work isn't for everyone, and tackling the homogeneity of corporate structures.

Ladies! Please join our Be Bold Facebook Group! Today's guest is Geraldine DeRuiter. Geraldine is an unlikely travel blogger. Unlikely because she’s, well let’s just say, she’s an uncomfortable traveler. You’ll hear why she’s not the best of travelers during our conversation. She’s best known for her blog, the Everywhereist. Her writing has been called “consistently clever” by TIME Magazine and “dark and hilarious” by the New York Times. Her blog post, “I Made the Pizza Cinnamon Rolls from Mario Batali’s Sexual Misconduct Apology Letter” received more than a million views. And if you haven’t already read it, you must. I’ll link to it below. In addition to chatting about her unlikeliness as a travel blogger and her love for baking and “real” cinnamon rolls, we chatted about aging, living to 140 years old, how she ended up standing at the airport in her underwear and how her blog and twitter posts have turned more political since the November 2016 elections. I had so many other questions for Geraldine but I was under a bit of a time constraint and we couldn’t dive into a couple of subjects I was so looking forward to chatting about including her brain tumor experience. But we both agreed that we need to sit down again to chat so look for a Part II with Geraldine hopefully in the not too distant future.

We love Jeff Goldblum, but not as much as Geraldine DeRuiter. On episode 12 Woj and Bobby take a trip with the jet-setting Everywhererist to discover the roots of her liberating travel ethos, where failing at a vacation is impossible and getting lost is all part of the master plan.   After writing her first book, All Over the Place: Adventures in Travel, True Love, and Petty Theft, Geraldine is bursting with golden nuggets of wisdom delivered with her timely sense of humor and endlessly inviting nerdery.   After surviving career setbacks, a brain tumor and a non-existent sense of direction she proves that when life gets tricky, Geraldine finds a way.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what not to do while traveling, Geraldine DeRuiter is your top resource. On this episode of the Rise Seattle podcast, Tyler and Phil sit down with DeRuiter to discuss the creation of her award-winning travel blog, the Everywhereist, as well as her process in transitioning from blog writing to book writing. DeRuiter also shares a glimpse of her oddball sense of humor as she relays her experience with being diagnosed with a brain tumor back in 2012 and declares her stance on the political issues that are occurring in our country today.

The Cinematic Flushers take on a low budget, female action flick that makes The Expendables look like The Dirty Dozen. Zoe Bell (Kill Bill) heads up a team of convicts hired by the CIA to rescue the President's daughter from a sobered up Brigette Nielsen (Rocky IV). Screenwriter of Mercenaries, Edward DeRuiter, joins us for the flushing.
