Loneliness is dangerous. In 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General declared that isolation poses risks as serious as smoking or obesity.

Through the story of David and Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11), we see the real cost of going it alone—and the redemptive power of truth spoken in love.

As a designer, Scott Doorley is interested in how humans create the world around them. It's a conversation, he says, that starts with the question: What kind of world do we want?Doorley is the creative director of the Stanford d.school and co-author of the book, Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future. In designing everything from a device to an app to a building, “People get excited about what it can do,” he says, “but what should it do? What do we want?

“Don't go chasing shadows, Arthur.”Adapting a Classic Ghost Story for the Big ScreenThe Woman in Black, based on Susan Hill's 1983 novel of the same name, has been adapted for the stage, television, and radio. In 2012, James Watkins directed a feature film version starring Daniel Radcliffe in his first major role since the Harry Potter series. With a talented team behind the camera and a compelling lead actor, The Woman in Black aimed to bring a classic ghost story to life for a new generation. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 2013 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards Best Actor Nominees series with a conversation about The Woman in Black.Radcliffe's Post-Potter Performance and the Film's Ghostly AtmosphereIn our discussion, we explore Daniel Radcliffe's performance as Arthur Kipps, a young lawyer grappling with grief and tasked with settling the estate of the mysterious Alice Drablow. Radcliffe's portrayal marks a significant departure from his iconic role as Harry Potter, showcasing his range as an actor. We also delve into the film's effective use of atmosphere, from the eerie Eel Marsh House and causeway leading to it to the unsettling appearances of the titular specter. However, we note that the reliance on jump scares and horror tropes may detract from the overall impact of the story.Other Topics CoveredThe differences between the novel, previous adaptations, and the 2012 filmThe film's exploration of grief and lossThe effectiveness of the period setting and production designThe use of children in peril as a horror elementThe Woman in Black offers a haunting tale of a vengeful spirit and the devastating impact of loss. While the film may lean heavily on familiar ghost story conventions, it succeeds in creating a chilling atmosphere and showcasing Daniel Radcliffe's post-Potter acting chops. Despite some reservations about the ending and the reliance on jump scares, The Woman in Black remains a solid entry in the gothic horror genre and a testament to the enduring power of Susan Hill's original novel.

How important is culture?The answer might surprise you...Peter Drucker gets credit for saying, "In business, culture eats strategy for breakfast." I agree with Drucker...What I think he meant by this is that you can spend months-- or years working on your business strategy, but (business) culture permeates everyone and everything it comes in contact with to the point that it's an unstoppable force--for both good and evil. I sat down with performance, leadership training and culture expert Dr. Michael Gervais who added, "In every organization we belong to, we're (also) apart of a culture. And either you are contributing to that culture or you are allowing it to be what it is."This really got me thinking deeply about my own personal and business associations including my internal team, client and vendor relationships.

Recent college grad Sean Riley noticed that his Animal House-style apartment full of dudes needed some help with hygiene. It wasn't like there wasn't enough toilet paper -- it was the fact that some (okay most) dudes needed a lot more help keeping that undercarriage clean after they did their business. Some dudes used bought baby wipes but that didn't seem to fit and that sparked the idea for a grown up hygienic product strong enough and made just for men and Dude Wipes was born.

Lindsay Housman was floored when she learned that women are considered “a confounding variable” when it comes to scientific and athletic research. That is to say that women are rarely researched because they are more “complicated.”This is especially true in the athletic footwear industry where most research has been done exclusively on men and then applied to women as a “smaller version of men.”Learning this was a lightbulb moment for this entrepreneur with two twin daughters (who also happen to run). Hettas, performance running shoes for women, was born. Truth be told, there are multiple differences between males and females in this area as it pertains to anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics and, today, Hettas is leading this charge in female specific research and design, thanks to their relationship with Dr. Chris Napier. Chris is a clinical assistant professor at the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia. He is also a member of the Minerva research group at Simon Fraser University. His research interests include running biomechanics and injury prevention, particularly through the use of wearable technology. Lindsay and Chris unpack their process from idea to full fledged running shoe. They discuss:The many anatomical, physiological, and biomechanics differences between male and female athletes How hormonal changes in women could affect training and footwear choices The detailed research studies they conducted to determine what women actually needThe three shoe types and why they chose the specific materials and designThe power of building community and receiving feedback from female runnersTheir plan for growth and product expansionTheir dream research projects Not only are they providing a practical product to help women perform better, but Hetta's is also mission driven to lead the way in women's research, encourage female business leadership, and close the confidence gap between males and females in the athletic industry. And, according to Lindsay, Chris, and the entire Hetta's team, there is no better way to serve young girls and women- especially their own daughters.
