This is a topic that we have had many conversations about off-air and thought it might be interesting and worthwhile to record and share with our listeners. We talk about downtown Austin's role within a multi-hub innovation region, the tension between physical proximity and remote work and their impact agglomeration effects, and the scale that only a central business district can bring. Episode HighlightsAustin is evolving as a multi-hub innovation metro with growth happening from Bastrop to Georgetown to San Macros in addition to the continued convergence of the Austin San Antonio mega region. Not all industries work in a central business district given space, price, and types of talent i.e., manufacturing doesn't work downtown, while software development fits very well.Intellectual density is key for a thriving innovation ecosystem and there is a challenge building that density in a physically larger region and with the growth and continued demand for remote workThe potential of downtown Austin becoming a central location for cross-sector convergence, and how the entertainment district, arts, and parks can be used to drive creative collisions.What's next downtown Austin?Michael: “Downtown is going to continue to be the kind of vibrant Austin-specific area that it always has been. Come back to me in two years where we are on the other side of this and all these companies are growing, all these companies are putting more people downtown, as well as other places the residential towers are opening and people are moving there.” Jason: “As downtown embraces and understands truly what its role in that ecosystem is I think then it's going to thrive at a new inflection point as we are hitting a new inflection point in Austin.” Austin Next Links: Website, X/Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn

On this episode of Establishing Your Empire I host Joah Spearman. Joah is the CEO and Founder of Localeur who has helped more than 5 million people experience traveling like a local from insiders who share authentic recommendations on their favorite local places to eat, drink and play. Joah started Localeur in 2013 by asking a dozen friends in Austin to recommend their favorite local spots before the South by Southwest Festival. Joah’s path has been anything but straight. His career started by working for the Texas Longhorns while in college, then a speechwriter in D.C. His first business was a social media consulting company helping to turn Austin’s Rainey Street into a nightlife district. After that, he opened a sneaker boutique in Downtown Austin, underneath the mayor’s office at City Hall. Then he convinced the founders of SXSW to let him create and run the first-ever fashion part of the festival. Somehow, the combination of all these experiences gave Joah a unique perspective on what a traveler really wants when they visit a new city: authentic recs from locals. Now, some 180 cities later, it seems to all make sense.

Josh Fogelman of Austin and Justin Hill teamed up to represent a nice lady injured when a ceiling tile fell and hit her on the head. The ceiling tile had become soaked with water due to an improper AC repair. This leak was known and never fixed. When the tile hit her in the head, she suffered serious psychological and neurological injuries. Transcript: Justin Hill: Welcome to Hill Law Firm Cases, a podcast discussing real-world cases handled by Justin Hill and the Hill Law Firm. For confidentiality reasons, names and amounts of any settlements have been removed. However, the facts are real, and these are the cases we handle on a day-to-day basis. [music] Justin Hill: Occasionally, on this podcast, we get to have our friends, our colleagues, our co-counsel/co-workers on to join us and discuss cases and issues and other things we've worked together. I have Josh Fogelman here with me today who's an injury lawyer in Austin, a really good friend of mine and classmate from Baylor Law School. Him and I had the occasion over time to work on a few things together, but today, we're going to talk about a case we worked on out of Austin. We're not going to say the name, Josh. We're not going to say any amounts. It was a really fascinating case with a really fascinating client that had a really fantastic result. Tell me what you remember about the factual scenario. Josh: This was definitely an interesting one. We represented a woman who was visiting Austin from out of state with her husband. They were staying at a hotel in Downtown Austin. Our client was sitting in the lobby of the hotel waiting to speak with the concierge desk and a ceiling tile collapsed and fell and struck her while she was sitting there in the lobby. It was an interesting injury case because this particular client had a pretty extensive history of some physical and psychological injuries. She'd actually been a civil rights activist who was very involved in the civil rights movement. Because of her involvement in the civil rights movement, she had actually been subjected to a number of physical attacks that had left her with permanent injuries, as well as some pretty serious post-traumatic stress syndrome. When she was hit by this pretty heavy falling object, she was not expecting to strike her. It triggered both her physical and psychological injuries in a permanent manner. Justin Hill: One of the things that was interesting about that case was the incident was on video, correct? Josh: It was. There was some security camera footage of the incident. It was pretty alarming. Justin Hill: Yes, which takes away some of the defenses that we've seen. We talk about that on this podcast a lot. These frivolous defenses, made-up defenses, you see them in all the cases. I always have to tell clients, "No matter what your facts are, if it's on video, they're still going to have a defense to your case." In our case, it seemed like the defense ran the gamut from, "Okay, that happened, but blame all these other people," to then, "Okay, maybe it was our fault. Now, let's blame her pre-existing injuries and her pre-existing psychological issues." What did you find to be the toughest element of that case? Josh: I thought the toughest element of that case was proving the extent of her harm. One of the things that we struggle with with personal injury lawyers is so many of the cases that we see, you can actually look at photographs of the physical injuries. It's very clear what has happened to a person. Oftentimes, they will walk into the courtroom with a permanent reminder of what those physical injuries were, whether it's the loss of the limb or some permanent scarring, something of that nature. But when you're dealing with primarily psychological injuries, it can be a little bit more challenging to really present that in a way that you feel comfortable and confident a jury will identify with and understand. This was one of those cases....

Took the Soma Ether out for a night! There seems to be no end to what sounds can be caught with this wonderful EMF receiving 'anti-radio' from Soma Labs / Vlad Kreimer. Just received the Ether from Russia via USPS this morning. Here's raw audio of an hour in downtown Austin. Only had it for a day but finding it's very variable. In quieter environments, Ether can find produce/receive very calming ambient tones and purr along with some very polite static and reception. You can play it like a theremin, too, attenuating and gesturing on a signal frequency, and loop on something (or a device) til it fades out of reach. But this is a demo of how loud and nicely argumentative it can be as a noise source outside among a lot of activity. It feels like a nice audio photograph of the evening and street.

When you move your business to the States you're going to need people to help you run it. So we tracked down Michael Molony, a high-level recruiter based in Austin, who works with the recruitment agency GQR. Michael is originally from London but has made it big in the States and is absolutely loving it there. Me and Sebastian headed to his office, which looks out over Downtown Austin, to find out all about recruitment, work, and play in Texas! He tells us how businesses are run differently in America compared to Europe, and how the way that they view failure is completely different too. Talking about change, we find out how the people can change, how his hobbies have changed, and most of all how his lifestyle has changed. Telling us everything that makes Austin great, he also shares with us the downsides of the city, although to be honest, there's really not that many... “In America, the salaries are higher than in Europe, inherently through that, we see a higher reward from our endeavors.” - Mike Molony Time Stamps: 1:48 - What Michaels company does and how long it's been running for. 2:43 - The reason that Michael moved to Texas. 5:23 - The difference in businesses in America compared to Europe. 8:22 - What the best lessons are that can be learned when doing business in America. 10:38 - How the definition of excellence is different in Texas compared to London. 13:00 - What it's like dealing with American clients. 14:55 - The reality of failure, when if you fail you have no option but to go home. 17:54 - How well business in America pays. 19:16 - What the worst things are about living in Austin. 21:18 - How much the city is expanding and what this means for entrepreneurs. 23:01 - The new pastimes and hobbies that you can find in America. 26:06 - The everyday views from Mikes office. 27:47 - The best restaurant in Austin to go for a business lunch. 28:45 - If Mike sees a long term future for himself in Texas.

Join our community of Patreon supporters. First 10 patrons receive a Be Bold gift! Today's conversation is with Pam LeBlanc. Pam spent nearly 21 years writing about fitness, adventure and travel for the Austin American-Statesman, Austin’s daily newspaper. It was there that she wrote a weekly column called Fit City. And it’s a befitting column for someone who considers herself to be an Outdoor Junkie. While she had done a number of things over the years that tested her confidence and really forced her to stretch herself, she declared 2017 as her Year of Adventure and she set out to purposely do things that she was uncomfortable with. In her article declaring her year of adventure, she ends with this, “Take a flying leap, splash hard, get your hair wet and smudge your makeup.” During her adventurous year, she jumped off a 10-meter diving board, she ran a naked 5K race and she rappelled down a 38 story high-rise in Austin (dressed in a Wonder Woman suit, of course!) – all of which she describes in this episode. Pam is someone who confronts life head on and lives it to the fullest. You’re going to hear all kinds of stories about her adventures here but what I hope you’ll take away from this conversation is that we can create adventures in our lives, big and small, every single day.

This week’s guest is Daniel Schmachtenberger of the Neurohacker Collective – one smart dude! Must be the nootropics. We have an awesome conversation about what it will take for us to thrive through our Age of Transition and into the emergent world that works for all, not just a few of us.His company: http://neurohacker.comHis blog: http://civilizationemerging.com Some Topics We Discuss:• How he got started in complex systems thinking while working in (and watching the failures of) wildlife conservation;• How he understands his work as participating in the emergence of a planetary renaissance;• A vision for how to move beyond finite win-lose games with in- and out-groups between warring cultures and into infinite win-win games;• His critiques of negative interest currency, universal basic income, and other system-wide economic incentives;• His argument for why giving ecosystems economic value isn’t enough to stand up against a wave of exponential technology;• How change can come from everywhere at once to vault us into a new era of whole-planet thinking that does not (continue to) collapse “complex” into merely “complicated”;• The role of automation in worldwide economic transformation;• How the next evolutionary transformation will emerge from the appearance of new ways to coordinate and align our senses, information processing, and action in the world – closing the loop between what we know and what we can do with it;• How we can heal the broken information ecology, and what that means for the surveillance conversation;• What incentives can we use in a totally redesigned global economy that benefits everyone? Select Books Mentioned:• Timothy Morton’s book Hyperobjects• James P. Carse’s book Finite & Infinite Games Select Daniel Quotes:“We have a system where structural violence and externality are implicit throughout the system completely, so participation with that at all requires it.”“It was clear that nothing less than a discrete, nonlinear phase-shift was adequate, so…what are the necessary and sufficient criteria of the post-transition world? And how do we support that emergence?”“If you’re getting interested in economics as a philosopher, it just means you’re gaining insight into how structural incentive and structural value systems and disposition work. Which means you are NOT being a good philosopher if you are not thinking about those things.”“We don’t know how to do civilization without war…we’re really talking about getting off win-lose game theory completely. It’s unprecedented. But unprecedented shit is actually the precedent of the universe, if you have a very long view.”“Economics can be seen as the interface layer between our values and the way we build the world.”“If we are gaining the power of gods, then without the love and wisdom of gods, we self-destruct.”“Are the things that we THINK we’re optimizing for the right things at all? … How do I create an INTEGRATED system design that tends to everything that matters here?”“The forty weeks of a baby in utero, if it continued, would kill itself and the mom. And the phase shift of leaving the birth canal and umbilical cord cut – it’s not predicted by the forty weeks before, if you didn’t know that thing was going to happen.”“Anything you can write a process for, no human wants to spend their whole life doing.”“The omni-win-win system actually outcompetes the win-lose system, while obsoleting win-lose dynamics itself.”“We are living in a world where we have an amazing amount of sensory input possible, right? We can see stuff from the Hubble, we can see stuff in electron tunneling microscopes, and we can see input from everywhere around the world on the Internet – but that’s decoupled from sense-making, so I can’t tell if it’s fucking true or not! I can’t put it together with the things I know. And so I have a tremendous amount of sense input that I can’t make sense of. Then, to the degree that I make sense of something – like, okay, CO2 is actually a problem – then I have no idea how the fuck to act on it. And then do the degree that I act on things – like I go buy this laptop that we’re talking on, that comes from an industrial supply chain that affected life on six continents – I actually have no sense coupling to what the fuck was affected and HOW it was affected to inform if I want to make that choice or not.” Special thanks to the Body Hacking Conference for their support of this episode!

Now she lives in a cabin she built herself in the redwoods of Northern California and manages a 477-acre native species nursery wilderness rehabilitation project (as well as an amazing podcast). This week’s episode is a candid, personal discussion about how awakening to our participation in nature is the key to both our survival and our spiritual salvation…https://forthewild.world/https://www.instagram.com/for.the.wild/ For The Wild is currently raising money to plant ONE MILLION redwoods: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1284964860/1-million-redwoods-project We talk about:• her transition from anonymous, germaphobic suburban consumer to restoration ecologist, activist, and dirt-working spokesperson for the world’s last remaining wilderness;• being a person of place and cultivating a personal relationship with our wild (and not-so-wild) lands;• love in a time of catastrophe and how to FEEL our impact on a planetary scale;• what wilderness means in The Anthropocene and what ought to guide our decisions in restoration ecology (not just “restoring to 200 years ago” as if that’s the best goal);• restoring not extinct ecosystems but biodiversity and resiliency IN GENERAL;• the joy of personal sacrifice to a cause and purpose greater than yourself;• what inspires her to keep going against all obstacles to the Good Work;• how to be an empowered activist and servant in love with life and your imperfect self;• picking yourself up after failure;• and more. A totally inspiring conversation! Select Quotes:“If I’m so consumed by my self and my own life, then what am I willing to risk for others? That’s a question I ask myself a lot: ‘What am I willing to risk for that which I love?’”“We don’t have reciprocal relationships with land, with Earth, with each other, with our lives. And how do you have a reciprocal relationship? Well, you have to have intimacy. You have to feel things. And I love when people say that if you’re not upset, if you’re not grieving, if you’re not angry, if you’re not feeling these strong emotions, then you’re not awake right now. If you were awake to the realities of what is happening in the world, you’d have no choice but to have immense amounts of feelings. But it’s not easy to unravel all of the conditioning that keeps us from feeling.”“We can be artists as we farm. We can be artists as we grow food. We can be artists as we clean beaches. We can be artists as we put mushrooms on oil spills. I mean, there are SO many ways we can create and love each other and HAVE A BLAST while restoring the Earth. And I think it takes the sadness and the grief to get into that work – and then when we’re on the other side, we can put all of that rage and that fire and that sadness into doing something tangible.”“It’s not about playing God. I think it’s more about being an herbalist for the Earth…I want to be more a support system than a savior.”“How do we embody the dichotomy of large-scale urgency and also gentle deep-time thinking?”“I don’t think we should wait until mastery to get involved.” Special thanks to the Body Hacking Conference for their support of this episode!

Today we continue in our water law series by focusing on surface water. If you missed the episode focused on groundwater, click here. I'm joined by Carlos Rubenstein.  His experience in Texas water is vast, including former Rio Grande Water Master, to a Commissioner on the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to Chair of the Texas Water Development Board.  Water is certainly a passion of Carlos' and he has had really interesting experiences. We walk through the definition of surface water in Texas, the legal concept of prior appropriation that governs the vast majority of surface water in Texas, the TCEQ permitting process, and how people can go about obtaining rights to use surface water.  We also talk a bit about the role of watermasters in Texas. We then talk about a number of disputes and cases including the LCRA curtailing water rights for rice farmers, Texas Farm Bureau v. TCEQ, The Aransas Project v. TCEQ, Texas v. New Mexico, the 1944 Texas-Mexico Treaty on the Rio Grande, and issues on the San Saba River. When asked about a law he would like to see changed, Carlos said he would like to modify the current rules regarding interbasin transfers of surface water.  In Texas, a person who utilizes an interbasin transfer (moving water from one basin for use in another) does not maintain seniority of right from the original basin.  Instead, the user in the new basin is deemed junior. For restaurant recommendations, Carlos offers Palermo Pasta House in Round Rock--order the homemade pasta--and Manuel's in Downtown Austin--get the mole enchiladas.

A chilling portrait of violence, “The Transfiguration” is an atmospheric thriller set against the grit of New York City. This Is Your Death Today’s audience has become infatuated with watching others degrade themselves on national television. They crave a wild argument, a bloody fight, or a publicized scandal. It has become the ultimate source of entertainment. But when the boundaries seem like they can’t be pushed any further, game-show host Adam Rogers steps in to break down the wall by hosting a new game show where contestants end their lives for a chance to win money. Adam will only be satisfied if his reality show is number one in the ratings, and he’ll stop at nothing to make sure he gets there, even if it means letting go of his humanity. Small Town Crime Ex-cop Mike Kendall (John Hawkes) discovers the body of a young woman and, in an act of self-redemption, becomes hellbent on finding the killer.

Struggling with her conscience, loneliness, and a strange strain of prepartum madness, Ruth must ultimately choose between redemption and destruction at the moment of motherhood.

But when a rustler kills Johnson, Lefty is forced from his partner’s shadow. Devastated by guilt, he sets out on a journey that will reunite him with old friends US Marshall Tom Harrah and Governor James Bierce as he confronts the ugly realities of frontier justice. Us and Them With it’s raw energy and stream of consciousness plot, "Us and Them" is a backlash against the drone of British period dramas.

To terrify the elite into bringing about change. Writer/director Joe Martin taps into his blue collar roots to capture the zeitgeist of outsider politics that have gripped the western world. In "Us and Them" he lays bare the inequality and anger that wrong footed the media and led to the shock events of Brexit and Trump’s victory. Atomic Blonde The crown jewel of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies. Baby Driver A talented, young getaway driver (Ansel Elgort) relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. When he meets the girl of his dreams (Lily James), Baby sees a chance to ditch his criminal life and make a clean getaway. But after being coerced into working for a crime boss (Kevin Spacey), he must face the music when a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom. Free Fire Bold, breathless and wickedly fun, "Free Fire" is an electrifying action comedy about an arms deal that goes spectacularly and explosively wrong. Acclaimed filmmaker Ben Wheatley (Kill List, High Rise) propels the audience head-on into quite possibly the most epic shootout ever seen on film as he crafts a spectacular parody –– and biting critique –– of the insanity of gun violence. Everyone’s got a gun, and absolutely no one is in control. Packed with witty one-liners, flamboyant characters and remarkable feats of cinematic gunplay, Free Fire is a full-throttle action extravaganza that keeps things fresh and fun with Wheatley’s alternately buoyant and savage sense of humor.

Nasir and Matt talk about the mayor of Austin recommending employees work from home on Friday due to SXSW and the President being in town and how that affects employers. Full Podcast Transcript NASIR: Welcome to our podcast where we cover business in the news and add our legal twist. My name is Nasir Pasha. MATT: And I’m Matt Staub. NASIR: That’s correct. MATT: All right, that’s it. NASIR: That’s actually the first time you got that right. MATT: Yeah. Well, you know the phrase, “260th time’s a charm.” NASIR: Yeah. Wow. 260, huh? MATT: Yeah. NASIR: We’re getting up there. MATT: It’s a good amount – close to 300. NASIR: Closer to 300 than it was closer to 200, that’s true. MATT: Yeah, definitely. NASIR: Have you ever been to South by Southwest? MATT: Oh, is that what that means? I thought it was Swiss… I don’t know. I was going to try and pronounce it as a word. No, I haven’t. Never even been to Austin. NASIR: Oh. Most people compare Austin to San Diego – or I should say they see some comparables to it. I would agree, actually. The atmosphere, it’s a big small town just like San Diego. I have been in Austin during SXSW. It was crazy. MATT: Yeah, I remember that. NASIR: You remember that? But I was there because I was meeting with the Texas Department of Insurance – with eight or nine people from there – in this old office building. You know those old government buildings where smells of old books or something? And I was in the boardroom with, like, six or seven different people and, literally, outside – and this is Downtown Austin – there was like band music going off and drums and they were like, “Oh, yeah, that’s been going on all day and all week,” or whatever and I’m just thinking, “I drove all the way to Austin and SXSW is going on and I’m just sitting in this boring Texas Department of Insurance meeting.” But, anyway, that’s my experience. MATT: You didn’t even really partake in any of the… NASIR: No, I walked around a little bit. I needed to head home but, yeah, I just walked around. There were some activities going on. I don’t even think I ate lunch there. That was horrible. MATT: Time well spent. NASIR: Yeah. MATT: Well, is it this Friday? NASIR: I think it starts this Friday, yeah. MATT: Okay. NASIR: At least maybe the interactive part. Don’t ask me. I always forget there’s like all these Austinians? What are they called – Austinites? MATT: Austines? NASIR: Austines? MATT: Austinites is probably right. NASIR: Okay. They’ll be upset that I don’t know but, if I recall correctly, it’s divided into two or three segments – one of them being South by Southwest Interactive which is all the startup scene and things like that then you’ve got the music and something else, too. I don’t know. MATT: Austonians, maybe. NASIR: Austonians. MATT: I don’t know. NASIR: Yeah. MATT: It’s a tough call. Well, anyway, the reason we’re talking about that is – I didn’t know about this. You told me about it so I’m not going to pretend like I knew about this beforehand but the Austin mayor is encouraging people to work from home or take a half day on this Friday which I’m assuming will be the previous Friday from when people from when people are actually listening to this. That’s why I asked about the dates but that’s fine. NASIR: By the way, Austinites, according to Wikipedia. Demonym I guess is what the term is – a word to identify residents or natives of a particular place. MATT: This’ll be a fun episode to transcribe. NASIR: I know. Sorry. Okay. MATT: Yeah. So, the mayor is saying to anticipate heavy traffic. Part of the reason is because SXSW. Another reason is because the President is going to be in town and I assume another reason is probably there’s just traffic there in general. It is a big city with a lot of people in it. NASIR: Yeah. MATT: I’m not going to act like I know what the traffic is like because San Diego traffic really isn’t that bad and there’s a ton of people in San Diego, too.

Petey goes over the hat he won waiting in line, barely being able to control himself being so close to Crayon Pop, what it took to get in K-Pop Night Out, the contrast to that with Japan Nite, the crowd environments, and the surpsising breakout hits of the nights. All that and a whole lot more from SXSW find you when you press play. So do it already!
