Daniel Savio started his professional theater career playing keyboards for the Mime Troupe in 2006, and since 2020 he has been the Troupe's resident composer/lyricist. This year Daniel led the band, was co-arranger, and composed additional music for SFBATCO's original musical Sign My Name To Freedom: The Unheard Songs of Betty Reid Soskin. He was recently musical director for the Marin Mountain Play production of Kinky Boots. Daniel has been MD of numerous community and children's productions at theaters in the North and East Bay. He has a BA in music from the University of California at Santa Cruz. SF Mime Troupe Web Site DISRUPTION - A Musical Farce Written by Michael Gene Sullivan & Marie Cartier Music and Lyrics by Daniel Savio Directed by Michael Gene Sullivan Music Direction by Daniel Savio DISRUPTION - A Musical Farce features a four-person cast that includes veteran SF Mime Troupe collective members: Michael Gene Sullivan* (Hector Washington); Alicia M.P. Nelson* (Zubari Macintosh); and features Lizzie Calogero* (Elizabeth); Jed Parsario* (Augie Dimalanta). SFMT BAND: Guinevere Q (Bass); Daniel Savio (Keyboards); and Jason Young (Drums, Percussion). In a city where nothing is more important than “innovation,” son of immigrants Augie Dimalanta (Jed Parsario) works hard. His friend Elizabeth (Lizzie Calogero) may think patching over problems is counterrevolutionary, but after his shift at the “Fried Thangs Diner” Augie's life's all about helping his neighbors navigate an increasingly underfunded and inhuman system. His efforts to make up for the cuts are making a real difference, but at what point does he need to stop plugging the holes in the system and try to change it instead? And while Augie is filling holes, tech genius Zubari Macintosh (Alicia Nelson) is busy digging more! As the head of MOPS (The Mayor's Office of Public Safety) she's all about optimization and “efficiency,” making a city attractive to investors and the right kind of people - and who wouldn't want that? Never mind that she has no experience beyond developing a social media app - how hard can government be? Maybe the only real barrier to giving the people what they really want all this time has been the inefficiency of democracy itself. And with proudly working-class, red-hatted police officers like Hector Washington (Michael Gene Sullivan) to clear the streets, San Francisco will soon be a beautiful and prosperous suburb of Silicon Valley - and hopefully in time for the president's upcoming visit. But if the city is poised to be a calm, efficient paradise why is everything suddenly on… FIRE!

Hear from Stephanie Race, Founder & CEO of Earth Analytics Group, as we dive into the connections between physical climate risk, the global food supply chain, and systemic financial risk. As climate impacts intensify - from wildfires to water scarcity - these risks are no longer distant. They're material, and they're here to stay. This is most evident in our food system, where disrupted crop yields, shifting growing regions, and stressed supply chains are becoming the new normal.  That's why in this episode, we explore the vital and often overlooked links between climate change, food systems, and financial risk, including:  How biophysical shocks like drought, fire, and flooding are cascading through supply chains and challenging economic stability;  Why nature-based solutions are key to building real-world resilience - not just for farmers, but for the financial system as a whole;  And how risk professionals can lead the transition by rethinking how we value, insure, and invest in a changing world.  To find out more about the Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate, follow this link: https://www.garp.org/scr For more information on climate risk, visit GARP's Global Sustainability and Climate Risk Resource Center: https://www.garp.org/sustainability-climate If you have any questions, thoughts, or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you at: climateriskpodcast@garp.com Links from today's discussion: Earth Analytics Group homepage: https://www.earthanalyticsgroup.com/ DEFRA Stewardship Schemes: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/countryside-stewardship-get-funding-to-protect-and-improve-the-land-you-manage USDA NRCS Stewardship Program: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs-initiatives/csp-conservation-stewardship-program   Speaker's Bio Stephanie Race, Founder & CEO, Earth Analytics Group Earth Analytics Group is a global environmental informatics firm, helping businesses adapt by integrating nature into financial decision-making.  Stephanie is a business leader, entrepreneur and scientist with over 30 years' experience transforming global food and agriculture supply chains, and restoring ecosystems to balance nature, people and markets.  She previously held a number of senior roles, including as Partner at Accenture, leading the Analytics Practice for Food, Consumer Products & Retail.

From Cockpit to Boardroom: Boo's High-Performance Flight Path In this compelling episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael chats with Boo—former fighter pilot turned entrepreneur—about his extraordinary journey from the Air Force to launching ventures in the Middle East, real estate, and digital publishing. Boo opens up about navigating the early days of Facebook and Google ads, and how his involvement with Afterburner, a company built on the high-performance mindset of fighter pilots, led to acquiring the business and driving it forward today. Rethinking Leadership to Reignite Engagement Michael and Boo explore one of today's most pressing workplace challenges: leadership credibility and employee engagement. Drawing from Gallup's recent findings that only 21% of global employees are engaged at work, they discuss how leaders must evolve. The conversation emphasizes trust, credibility, and a radical mindset shift—from managing to truly leading. Leaders must transform good intentions into impactful outcomes and be willing to operate in a “zero authority” culture, where every voice on the team can contribute meaningfully. The Leadership Learning Curve Transitioning from a high performer to an effective leader is no small feat. Boo shares stories from his aviation days, where leadership was learned not from textbooks but through real-world experience under pressure. Michael echoes this, highlighting his own growth through trial, missteps, and reflection. The discussion underlines the importance of patience, humility, and a long-term vision—especially crucial for those shifting from individual contributor to leadership roles. Promotion Pitfalls: The Competency Gap Boo and Michael tackle the common but dangerous trap of promoting team members beyond their readiness—particularly in sales and production environments. Boo argues that misaligned promotions can do more harm than good, while Michael urges leaders to go deeper—looking at organizational silos, misaligned deliverables, and turnover before reacting. The takeaway? Leaders must have the courage and insight to address these core issues head-on with senior stakeholders. Disruption as a Leadership Choice What if disruption wasn't something to fear—but something to choose? Boo makes the case for embracing disruption through continuous learning, feedback, and iteration. He calls out the rigidity of traditional leadership models and invites leaders to embrace a more agile, mission-driven approach—focusing on progress over perfection. Mission Clarity in a Noisy World In today's hyper-distracted digital era, clarity of mission is more vital than ever. Michael and Boo wrap up with a powerful discussion on the importance of staying focused amid constant change. Drawing on lessons from both fighter pilots and nonprofits, they emphasize strategic anticipation, adaptable leadership, and the need to stay grounded in purpose—no matter how turbulent the skies may get.   Christian "Boo" Boucousis, known simply as Boo, started with a strong passion for aviation from an early age. Despite academic challenges, his determination led him to the Australian Air Force, where he became a fighter pilot. Boo's time in the Air Force was transformative; he mastered the art of high-stakes execution, situational awareness, and structured debriefing—core principles that define his approach today. After nine years, Boo's career as a fighter pilot came to an unexpected halt due to a rare medical condition. Faced with the need to pivot, Boo didn't shy away from challenges. Instead, he set out to apply the rigorous, high-performance methodologies he learned in the Air Force to the business world. Starting a humanitarian business in Afghanistan, he quickly scaled it to employ over 1,600 people, eventually becoming one of the largest humanitarian support companies globally. His next ventures were just as ambitious, including developing a $42 million high-rise hotel and transforming a print publishing company into a successful digital entity. Boo's proven success is rooted in his use of military-inspired frameworks like structured debriefing and realistic goal-setting, which enable individuals and organizations to achieve "mission objectives" with high success rates. Through Afterburner Inc, Boo now brings these methodologies to corporate audiences, training teams on how to achieve extraordinary results by focusing on resilience, adaptability, and transparent, actionable steps. His story is one of reinvention, and his techniques help listeners find clarity, optimize performance, and unlock their potential. This journey makes Boo a compelling speaker who not only inspires but equips listeners with practical, results-oriented strategies.

This is the first episode in a special series on pricing, disruption, and analytics readiness for distributors.In this kickoff conversation, Nick Pericle and Tony Pericle unpack why so many distributors were caught flat-footed during the last tariff wave—and why it's not the tariffs themselves that cause margin erosion, but the slow, disjointed responses caused by outdated systems and siloed data.Tony introduces his five levels of analytics maturity and explains why most companies remain stuck in reactive reporting, unable to move into the predictive, prescriptive decisions that disruption demands.You'll hear a real-world case study where Tony's team helped a $ 1B+ distributor analyze over 40,000 customer contracts to protect margin and act decisively during the 2020–2022 inflation surge.This episode sets the stage for the rest of the series, exploring how distribution leaders can build disruption-ready analytics strategies before the next wave hits.If today's conversation sparked ideas or urgency, share it with your company's colleagues responsible for pricing, finance, or margin protection.Connect with us:Nathan: nick@profitoptics.com | https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickpericleTony: tony@profitoptics.com | https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonypericleShow Email: pod@profitoptics.com ABOUT BUILD BETTER WORK PODCAST Build Better Work by ProfitOptics is a podcast about the power of technology to transform work and lives with our host Greg Stivers.

Happy NO KINGS DAY! Today, as nationwide protests sweep America, historian and activist Mark Bray argues that Trump and his MAGA movement represent a type of American fascism rooted in the country's long history of racist backlash against the struggle for civil rights. As the author of the iconic Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, Bray connects today's resistance to Trump to historical anti-fascist movements, from the KKK's post-Civil War violence to European fascism of the 1930s. He discusses protest strategies, the role of violence in resistance movements, social media's impact on organizing, and why disrupting "business as usual" matters more than just electoral politics in fighting authoritarianism. Long Live the NO KING. Five Key Takeaways* Trump represents American fascism, not just populism or patrimonialism - Bray argues the MAGA movement is "pretty unequivocally fascist," drawing on ultranationalism, militarism, and the glorification of violence that characterizes historical fascism.* American fascism has deep historical roots - Rather than being imported from Europe, fascistic tendencies emerged from America's own racist institutions, with the post-Civil War KKK representing the first "proto-fascist formation" in functional terms.* Disruption matters more than electoral politics - Effective resistance requires making "business as usual" impossible, forcing issues into national conversation and raising the political costs of authoritarian policies beyond just voting.* Violence remains a tactical question, not a moral absolute - Bray argues that while reasonable people can disagree about when to use force, removing it entirely from the "toolbox" of resistance may prove too late when facing genuine fascism.* Social media is a double-edged organizing tool - While platforms can rapidly mobilize movements like Occupy Wall Street, they also create instability, allow right-wing manipulation, and risk replacing sustained community organizing with quick digital fixes.MARK BRAY is a historian of human rights, political violence, and politics in Modern Europe at Rutgers University. He earned his BA in Philosophy from Wesleyan University in 2005 and his PhD in History from Rutgers University in 2016. He is the author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook (Melville House 2017), The Anarchist Inquisition: Assassins, Activists, and Martyrs in Spain and France (Cornell 2022), Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street (Zero 2013), and the co-editor of Anarchist Education and the Modern School: A Francisco Ferrer Reader (PM Press 2018).

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the cosmos to uncover extraordinary cosmic phenomena, groundbreaking Mars exploration, and innovative asteroid detection technology.The Most Powerful Cosmic Explosions Since the Big BangAstronomers have identified a new class of cosmic events known as extreme nuclear transients (ENTs), which are the most powerful explosions observed since the Big Bang. These events occur when supermassive black holes tear apart stars over three times the mass of our sun, releasing energy that surpasses even the brightest supernovae. We explore the implications of these findings, including how these luminous phenomena can provide insights into black hole growth and the early universe.NASA's Perseverance Rover Takes a Bite of Ancient Martian RockNASA's Perseverance Rover has sampled a potentially ancient rock on Mars known as Crocodilen, located on the Jezero Crater Rim. This area offers vital clues about the planet's watery past and the potential for past life. We discuss the rover's mission, its new sampling strategy, and the significance of the clay minerals found in the region, which could preserve organic compounds.First Light for Europe's New Killer Asteroid HunterThe European Space Agency's FlyEye telescope has achieved its first light, marking a new era in the search for near-Earth asteroids that could threaten our planet. Designed to capture a vast region of the sky simultaneously, FlyEye will operate autonomously to detect and track these celestial hazards.

The Business of Therapy: Surviving Economic and Industry Disruptions Curt and Katie chat about how therapists can adapt to the changing business landscape of private practice, including fewer client inquiries, economic challenges, and increased competition. We share practical strategies for maintaining a sustainable therapy practice, improving marketing efforts, and building strong referral networks. Transcripts and additional information for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we discuss running a private practice during times of economic uncertainty We've heard a lot about the real-time challenges that therapists are facing in a changing business landscape. With a drop in inquiries, increased financial pressures on clients, and greater competition from virtual and AI-based services, private practice clinicians are feeling the pinch. We explore how to adapt your business model, rethink marketing strategies, and prioritize networking and flexibility to weather the storm and build a more resilient practice. What is the current state of private practice therapy businesses? • A drop in referrals and inquiries: Therapists are seeing fewer new client inquiries, especially compared to the pandemic boom. • Economic pressures on clients: Some are requesting fee reductions or shifting to less frequent sessions, even when practices are technically full. • Rising competition: Therapists are competing not just with other clinicians, but also with VC-backed platforms and AI services. What can private practice therapists do to navigate the current business climate? • The need for adaptability: Offering in-person and virtual options, adjusting your fee structure, and being flexible can help retain clients. • Business evolution: It's more important than ever to regularly assess your practice's expenses, operations, and marketing strategy. • Standing out in a crowded market: Specializing in specific modalities (like DBT or EMDR) and diversifying your service offerings (e.g., walk-and-talk therapy) can help. • Networking and community support: Building strong referral networks and staying connected with colleagues is essential in today's climate. • Sustainability for therapists with additional needs: Flexibility can also support therapists who are neurodivergent or living with chronic illness. Key Takeaways from this podcast episode for therapists • Monitor your referral trends and be proactive about filling client gaps—even if your caseload seems full. • Adjust your practice model as needed—offering hybrid sessions or reduced fees may help sustain your income. • Reevaluate your expenses and time investments (marketing, admin, documentation) for a more efficient practice. • Stay current and visible by evaluating SEO, trying Google Ads, and maintaining a strong online presence. • Network consistently—both online and in-person—to build a robust referral stream. • Don't be afraid to evolve. Practices that are nimble and responsive to change are more likely to succeed long-term.
