“I mean, who doesn't date a mermaid in college?”Superman and Lois Lane: The Heart of My Adventures with SupermanIn this episode of the Superhero Ethics podcast, hosts Matthew Fox and Riki Hayashi are joined by Superman expert Jessica Plummer to dive deep into the animated series My Adventures with Superman. The trio explores how this fresh take on the iconic characters breathes new life into the Superman mythos, particularly through its portrayal of Lois Lane's and Clark Kent's relationship.Does a Superman story need Lois Lane? Our hosts argue that Lois, and to some extent Jimmy, are not just essential, but the key to humanizing Clark Kent and creating a compelling narrative. The show's decision to have Lois quickly deduce Superman's identity subverts traditional storylines and sets the stage for a more equal partnership.How does My Adventures with Superman update classic characters for a modern audience? The podcast discusses the show's diverse cast, including an Asian Lois Lane and how these choices open up new storytelling possibilities. The hosts also praise the series' anime-inspired animation style and its ability to balance superhero action with workplace comedy elements.What makes this version of Clark Kent's and Lois Lane's relationship unique? The hosts explore how the younger age of the characters and their more contemporary dynamics create a fresh take on the classic romance. They also debate the ethics of secret identities and how the show handles this perennial superhero dilemma.Other topics covered:The importance of Jimmy Olsen as Clark's best friendThe show's handling of villains and supporting charactersComparisons to other Superman adaptationsThe potential for future storylines and character developmentThe balance between action and character-driven moments in superhero storiesBonus content on Amanda Waller and Sam Lane, and how this show treats them, in our special member's only section.

Building a better future for our students is going to take the combined efforts of educators, employers and community leaders. The Greater Milwaukee Committee is on a mission to do just that, bringing together the most influential leaders and organizations in Milwaukee to solve some of the toughest challenges facing the city.Joel Brennan leads the organization and joined us in the studio to talk about the role of public-private partnerships between educational institutions and businesses to address the evolving needs of the workforce.The challenges faced by Milwaukee's education system (public, private and charter) are not unique. Communities across the U.S. can learn from the work of the GMC .In this episode, we address:The role of public-private partnerships in improving our education systemHow to build better collaboration between educational institutions and businesses to meet the evolving needs of the workforceInnovative approaches to education, including microcredentials and tailored curriculum developmentThe imperative of fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability to thrive in the era of AI and technological disruptionQuotable Moments:"We have a responsibility of what we leave behind, that there's opportunity for [our young people].""The biggest issue around where we're going with workforce... is things are changing so dramatically with AI and how that's going to change the workplace, that we have to do what Wayne Gretzky used to talk about, you know, skate to where the puck is going, not where it is right now.""We need to be preparing people for careers, but ultimately we want them to be deep thinkers, critical thinkers, problem solvers, because there's plenty of those things that are out here that we need to solve."3 Big Takeaways:Regional collaboration enhances workforce readiness: The Higher Education Regional Alliance in Wisconsin facilitates cross-sector partnerships to align education with industry needs, ensuring graduates are equipped for the job market. K-12 education faces systemic challenges, but we owe it to students to solve these problems: It's going to take comprehensive reforms and investing in early childhood education to improve outcomes and workforce readiness. By prioritizing equitable access to quality education and fostering innovation in teaching methods, communities can address these challenges and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.Public-private partnerships drive education reform: Through initiatives like workforce training programs, communities leverage combined resources to revitalize education systems, bridging gaps between classroom learning and real-world job requirements, ultimately strengthening local economies.Resources:Learn more about the Greater Milwaukee CommitteeConnect with the Greater Milwaukee Committee:Facebook | YouTube | Instagram | LinkedInEpisode page: https://techedpodcast.com/brennan/Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

Karlheinz Brandenburg, often referred to as the "father of MP3," is spearheading the development of a groundbreaking headphone technology at Brandenburg Labs, where he serves as CEO and founder.Revolutionary headphone technology in developmentThe objective of this innovative project is to produce headphones that deliver a more authentic sound experience. The technology aims to replicate the sensation of sound originating from an external source, as opposed to being confined within the listener's head. This concept, known as plausible reproduction, has been a long-standing aspiration in the audio industry for over half a century. However, progress has been gradual. By integrating room acoustics into the technology, Brandenburg and his team have made substantial strides toward realizing this goal.The technology was demonstrated at the Venetian on the 29th floor, leaving participants astounded by the realistic sound experience produced by the headphones. Many were incredulous, finding it hard to believe that the sound was emanating from the headphones and not the room's loudspeakers. This breakthrough holds the potential to radically alter our experience of sound in headphones, offering a more immersive and lifelike audio experience.Brandenburg's system employs a head-related transfer function and room measurements to generate a personalized sound experience for each listener. This technology could be advantageous for mixing studios working on multi-channel content like Dolby Atmos, as well as consumers seeking a more authentic sound experience from their headphones.Licensing the technology for developmentWhile the technology is currently in the proof of concept stage, Brandenburg envisions a future where this revolutionary headphone technology is accessible to consumers. He is receptive to collaborations with headphone manufacturers to commercialize this technology under the Brandenburg name. Given his successful track record with MP3 technology, Brandenburg is confident in the potential of his headphone technology to significantly influence the audio industry.The technology is an extension of the work that he did with MP3.

Karlheinz Brandenburg, often referred to as the "father of MP3," is spearheading the development of a groundbreaking headphone technology at Brandenburg Labs, where he serves as CEO and founder.Revolutionary headphone technology in developmentThe objective of this innovative project is to produce headphones that deliver a more authentic sound experience. The technology aims to replicate the sensation of sound originating from an external source, as opposed to being confined within the listener's head. This concept, known as plausible reproduction, has been a long-standing aspiration in the audio industry for over half a century. However, progress has been gradual. By integrating room acoustics into the technology, Brandenburg and his team have made substantial strides toward realizing this goal.The technology was demonstrated at the Venetian on the 29th floor, leaving participants astounded by the realistic sound experience produced by the headphones. Many were incredulous, finding it hard to believe that the sound was emanating from the headphones and not the room's loudspeakers. This breakthrough holds the potential to radically alter our experience of sound in headphones, offering a more immersive and lifelike audio experience.Brandenburg's system employs a head-related transfer function and room measurements to generate a personalized sound experience for each listener. This technology could be advantageous for mixing studios working on multi-channel content like Dolby Atmos, as well as consumers seeking a more authentic sound experience from their headphones.Licensing the technology for developmentWhile the technology is currently in the proof of concept stage, Brandenburg envisions a future where this revolutionary headphone technology is accessible to consumers. He is receptive to collaborations with headphone manufacturers to commercialize this technology under the Brandenburg name. Given his successful track record with MP3 technology, Brandenburg is confident in the potential of his headphone technology to significantly influence the audio industry.The technology is an extension of the work that he did with MP3. That technology was designed to be both a licensable technology and an industry standard. By developing the technology as a standard, it meant that wide adoption was possible. Today, MP3 is one of the primary audio formats that all people interact with on a daily basis. That licensable standard is the goal with this technology, as well.By making the headphone technology licensable, multiple headphone manufacturers will be able to help bring it to market.

The sales profession has evolved, but one thing has remained the same: the power and importance of mentorship. Where sales leaders once learned in person from each other in unstructured meetings — office banter, going to lunch, connecting at conferences or networking events — many of today's professionals now work primarily from home. So how can we foster growth and success in today's sales leaders? The answer remains the same, but the execution looks a little different. Dan Dal Degan, operating executive at Marlin Equity Partners, is a skilled mentor with a strong commitment to returning the energy and input he received as an up-and-coming professional. In the last episode of Winning the Challenger Sale podcast before a hiatus, Andee and Dan reflect on how mentorship has evolved, where sales professionals should look for growth today, and the current (and future) state of the field. Join us as we discuss: Raising awareness of the sales professionThe new abundance of opportunities for mentorship and individual developmentThe direct roadmap of sales roles to leadership positions

What does it take to discover your true purpose for being here? In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Colin Kingsmill who found a tremendous amount of success and wealth only to give it all away and leave that lifestyle behind to honor his mental health. Colin shares his story and how he went on a spiritual journey and, through several modalities including meditation and mindfulness practices, found his crystal clear purpose for being here. He also shares the evolution of his relationships and his view of the world since making this profound shift and rediscovering his own humanity. In 2001, with an MBA and a successful decade in Swiss banking behind him, Colin Kingsmill decided to make a radical reset, give up most of his possessions and perceived status, and step into the unknown. He had everything he wanted, but it was not fulfilling. He really has seen it all, from flying in private jets, sailing on superyachts, mingling with industry titans, meeting Hillary Clinton and Elton John, and hanging out in George Clooney's villa on Lake Como when the Heinz family owned it. However, on the flip side of all the shiny stuff, he has also suffered the hardships of divorce and personal bankruptcy, depression, and crippling anxiety. Today, with all this life and work experience behind him, Colin now coaches, advises, and mentors extraordinary individuals making important changes in their personal and professional lives and provides a space for business owners to talk strategically through their pivot plans and fears as they grapple with the challenges of today's world. In today's episode, we cover: The masks we wear to hide our mental health struggles from the worldReleasing the trappings of status for your own healthWhy material things don't prove our self-worthWhat rebirthing is and how it can lead to a past life regressionThe experience that inspired Colin to get rid of all of his material things How Colin got crystal clear on his purpose for being hereThe process of going from shelf-development to self-developmentThe evolution of our relationshipsHow meditation and mindfulness can help you embody your true selfThe lenses and traumas that we live our lives throughReality is only as good as we make it at any given momentWe hope you enjoyed our conversation with Colin!

For today's episode, we are going to pause our money content to share a powerful story. With 2024 quickly approaching, I'm sure you're giving thought to some changes you'd love to make in your life. It could be that you want to eat healthier, repair a relationship, feel more confident, tap into your true potential, or anything of the sort.But maybe those ideas come with some discouragement. If it is something you want to change now, it is probably something you've been thinking about changing for a while. I've been there. I make empty promises to myself that “next Monday is whenever I start” and of course, that day comes and for some reason, I'm still acting the same way and not taking action on that promise.2024 is going to be different for both of us though. No more empty promises. We are going to prove to those who have been doubting us, our parents, friends, partners, but most importantly, ourselves.And there is no better story to end our 2023 content with and leave us feeling empowered like my friend Nake Dukes. This guy has gone through a lot from hugely successful business owner to being behind bars after getting caught stealing a car. I don't want to ruin this reinvention story so I'm going to leave it there. This one is a great one to play in the car for everyone to hear out loud as you're headed to Grandma's house for the holiday celebrations. This story originally aired years ago as episode 41 and has been a fan favorite ever since.This is the last episode of 2023. Thanks for an amazing year. I had so much fun creating content for you in 2023 and I'm even more excited about 2024. As a reminder, moving forward we'll be publishing bi-weekly on Wednesdays to make some space for some other projects we have in the works.

Who Are You Following?This week, McKay explores the profound impact of ‘following' in our lives as he sheds light on the consequences of unintentionally following wrong or right influences in our lives. Through cautionary tales like Wu Yongning's dangerous pursuit of fame and tragic incidents like the Corona Arch swing, McKay emphasizes the importance of questioning whom we choose to follow and the impact of our choices on our paths in life.Diving into the significance of following one's own path, finding purpose, and trusting oneself, our host notes that the rise of chatbots in various industries these days prompts a call for discerning credible sources and nurturing critical thinking skills. Inspired by Maria Schreiber's graduation speech, he encourages listeners to trust their beliefs, embrace their unique journey, and recognize the power of their own inner voice. From the example of Chadwick Boseman's pursuit of acting to Oprah Winfrey's wisdom on developing an internal moral GPS, the episode emphasizes self-discovery and the importance of authentic living as well as conscious decision-making in helping to shape a meaningful life journey filled with purpose and fulfillment.Episode Highlights:Cautionary tales highlighting the importance of questioning whom we follow and seeking validationTragic consequences of blindly replicating experiencesChallenges posed by the rise of chatbotsHollywood's concerns about AI-generated scriptsDiscerning the influence of AI-driven characters on emotional connections and personal developmentThe significance of who and what we follow in a world of information overloadEmpowering critical thinking in the pursuit of a meaningful lifeThe keys to discovering purpose and life's pathQuotes:"In seeking validation from others, it's ironic that Wu was following his followers, and ultimately, it cost him his life.""Following others without understanding the intricacies can lead to tragic consequences, as we saw in the unfortunate incident at the Corona Arch.""In today's day and age, we must decide who we will follow, establish our sources of truth, and use our own critical thinking to discern credible information.""As chatbots become more prevalent, the question arises: How much should we follow AI-generated content, and how do we ensure it aligns with truth and critical thinking?""Empower yourself by questioning your sources of inspiration and influence, making conscious decisions, and nurturing critical thinking in your pursuit of a meaningful life.""The only way you find a life of meaning and joy is to find your own voice, find your own path, find your own heart and live your own life, not an imitation of somebody else's.""Trust in your own ability to rise, to realize, trust in your own ability to do what you set out to do.""Purpose crosses disciplines. Purpose is an essential element of you. It is the reason you are on the planet at this particular time in history.""Trust action. Don't form opinions about what you can be or what your purpose is in life until you've taken action.""The tool feels light in our hands. When we act, we know our purpose."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

Key Takeaways The Concept of "Passionate Sharing", and why it's important to dive into business with the thought of being of the benefit of othersCommon threads among successful people, and how they value and invest in personal and professional developmentThe importance of having a mentor or coach in your lifeWhy charging appropriately benefits both you the business owner and your clients too Timestamps [00:04:36] "Thought Leadership: How to Become a Rare Gem" [00:07:17] "From Expert to Thought Leader: Why it Matters" [00:17:11] "Transform Your Business with These Affordable Secrets" [00:18:46] "Charge Your Worth: How Pricing Impacts Results" [00:23:45] "Get Your Sexy Back: The Power of Messaging" [00:28:11] "Seven Common Habits of Ultra-Successful People" [00:31:39] "Commit and Get Resourceful: Keys to Success" [00:32:46] "12 Characteristics of Successful & Humble Entrepreneurs" [00:34:49] "Easily Connect with Nicky for Change" Quotes On The Difference between an expert and a thought leader: “An expert is someone who knows something. They're smart. But unfortunately, experts are a diamond dozen. There are lots of people who know something about a subject, but a thought leader on the other hand is someone who's known for knowing something by a group of people that care very deeply about what it is that they know something about. So thought leaders are rare and valuable."The Importance of Business Purpose: "Business is not about dollars. It's about people.
