Podcasts about downward mobility

Jon Owen's mum enrolled him in a computer science degree at University - expecting him to build a flourishing career; which he did. It just wasn't the one that everyone expected

Rev. Tim Udouj

In the 2nd conversation with author, recovering art worker and academic Valerie Werder, she talks about: the travails of clothes shopping for her job in the blue-chip gallery, not only how fraught it was but how much it brought up class issues as she moved through the sartorial gauntlet, where her appearance as a frosty, inaccessible object was part of her role; the complicated variations of class when it comes to precarity and poverty, including a culture where those who are cultivating an aesthetic of bohemianism or even poverty are existing alongside those who are actually financially poor, the latter of whom sometimes don't even have culture on their radar; her fictional and, perhaps, real relationship with the enigmatic character ‘Ted' from her book Thieves, which is complex in its values, dependency, and deceptions, and which coincided with her own attraction to anarchism and anti-capitalism, and how ‘Ted' in some ways embodied these tendencies; the complex social roles and hierarchies that Valerie is living within, and the experience of downward mobility while simultaneously being connected with an upper echelon of culture; how transitioning to the hierarchies and bureaucracies of Harvard was fairly smooth and easy after being in the blue-chip NY gallery world; and how while she still sporadically writes about art, she's for all intents and purposes stepped out of the art world proper. NOTE: in the Bonus episode w/Valerie, she talks all about the very real shoplifting she participated in and is a main feature in Thieves.

“Could I have a bigger imagination about this point in my life than I thought I might need to have?” Annabelle Gurwitch is no stranger to reinvention–or as she prefers to call it, adaptation.

Adventures in Downward Mobility,” Annabelle chronicles one of those changes: her decision to welcome an unhoused couple into her home after becoming an empty-nester. This decision not only shifts many of her own beliefs, but also beautifully underscores the importance of discarding preconceived notions at the doorstep of understanding.In this episode, Annabelle's insights illuminate the intricacies of downward mobility, the pursuit of adaptation over reinvention, embracing creativity, and fostering community amidst personal and societal shifts. Annabelle's ability to infuse humor into each of these subjects is just one of the many reasons you don't want to miss this conversation. Here's what's on the table:Defining ‘downward mobility' and its impact on the middle class and women.Navigating life and career changes with resilience and flexibility.Embracing the unconventional path of being a creative and a freelancer. Coping with missed opportunities and unexpected life turns.Redefining the terms of relationships in midlife and post-divorce.Understanding others' experiences and humanity without passing judgment.Why small actions matter, even when the world's problems feel overwhelming.Creating enduring significance and meaning in life's choices through pursuing long-term goals.The strength of friendships and community during tough times.OUR GUEST: Annabelle Gurwitch, a New York Times Bestselling author, actress, and activist, skillfully blends humor and insight in her work.

This is the 5th Sunday of Lent and the story continues at Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. Scripture is Mark 10:35-45 A request from James and John 35 James and John, Zebedee's sons, came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.” 36 “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. 37 They said, “Allow one of us to sit on your right and the other on your left when you enter your glory.” 38 Jesus replied, “You don't know what you're asking! Can you drink the cup I drink or receive the baptism I receive?” 39 “We can,” they answered. Jesus said, “You will drink the cup I drink and receive the baptism I receive, 40 but to sit at my right or left hand isn't mine to give. It belongs to those for whom it has been prepared.” 41 Now when the other ten disciples heard about this, they became angry with James and John. 42 Jesus called them over and said, “You know that the ones who are considered the rulers by the Gentiles show off their authority over them and their high-ranking officials order them around. 43 But that's not the way it will be with you. Whoever wants to be great among you will be your servant. 44 Whoever wants to be first among you will be the slave of all, 45 for the Human One didn't come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life to liberate many people.”

How would you define success? Is it accumulating money, influence, beauty or power? Well, of course not. We wouldn’t admit that — at least not out loud. There's a phrase that people use: “the ladder of success.” Imaging climbing up that ladder, and then imagine climbing through a window at the top of that ladder. After all, a ladder leans on something, doesn't it? What if that ladder led you into the wrong window of the wrong house? I wonder how Jesus defines success. Turns out, he never uses the word. So what DOES he say about the things we should strive after? This sermon on John 13:1-30 looks at the surprising and topsy-turvy story of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, including Judas. How might we take his example seriously as we navigate life in a world drunk on misplaced ideas of success.

In this recording, listen to Fr. Danny talk about St. Mary's commitments: Catholic Hospitality, Eucharistic Community, Financial Reparations, Sabbath Wonder, and Downward Mobility.  From our Annual Meeting on September 18th, 2022.

John 3:22-36 Pastor Rick Schupp

About this episode: Greg Dyke's resume reads like a collage of seemingly unrelated twists and turns -- engineer, pastor, nurse, yak rancher -- but that's only if you're reading it superficially. Spend even a few minutes with Dr. Reverend Dyke and you learn each twist was related to the one that came before, and each turn marked by a deep and abiding relationship with social justice, downward mobility and doing the right thing. About our guest: Greg Dyke, owner of Zhi-ba Shin-ga Yak Ranch in Wellington, KY has always been a man on a mission. His unusually varied professional life has taken him from engineering to ministry, from upstate New York to inner city New Orleans. But regardless of the terrain, Greg has remained true to the inner compass that always seems to be urging him on to help make things better for others.

While human beings typically want to climb the ladder, Jesus makes the opposite movement; he is the reversal of our endless striving, showing the truth path to a life of meaning.

What have genes got to do with inequality? It's a thorny question. But it one that Kathryn Paige Harden squarely addresses in her book and in this episode of Dialogues. She explains the new science of genetics and how it can help understand outcomes like college completion. Along the way we discuss the importance of the disability rights movement, the nature of meritocracy, what luck has to do with it, designer babies, regional inequality, and how one byproduct of her Christian upbringing is an appreciation for the unique and equal value of every person.  Kathryn Paige Harden Kathryn Paige Harden is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas, where she directs the Developmental Behavior Genetics lab and co-directs the Texas Twin Project. Harden is also a fellow at the Jacobs Foundation. Having received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Virginia, her work has focused on genetic influences on complex human behavior, including child cognitive development, academic achievement, risk-taking, mental health, sexual activity, and childbearing.  More Harden Her thought-provoking new book, The Genetic Lottery, can be purchased here.  Harden's previous New York Times op-ed is a great starting place for learning more on this topic.  Read her recent profile in the New Yorker, “Can Progressives Be Convinced That Genetics Matters?” For more, check out her website and follow her on twitter: @kph3k Also mentioned I referred to my paper “The Glass Floor: Education, Downward Mobility, and Opportunity Hoarding”.I write a NYT oped on the same theme, too.

The book is a collection of raw and honest essays that capture the issues Gurwitch grapples with in midlife, from divorce to financial fragility.

A lot’s changed since the last time we saw Annabelle Gurwitch. Since the actress and writer last appeared on our show back in 2017, she’s been living through the same pandemic as the rest of us, of course, but she’s also gotten divorced, lost her health insurance, had her car repossessed, tried out gig work, and then was diagnosed with lung cancer. In her new book “You’re Leaving When?” Gurwitch discusses downward mobility. We’ll talk with her about it, plus her experience sheltering LA homeless youth in her guest bedroom. Here's everything we talked about today: Gurwitch’s columns about her cancer diagnosis and hosting homeless youth, plus more information on all of her books Our first episode with Gurwitch, number 17! “US Capitol Police to open California office” from The Los Angeles Times “Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ta-Nehisi Coates joining Howard University faculty” from The Washington Post “Pentagon Scraps JEDI in Win for Amazon at Microsoft's Expense” from The Wall Street Journal When you're done listening, tell your Echo device to “make me smart” for our daily explainers.

Writer and performer Annabelle Gurwitch never got rich over the course her decades-long career, but she managed to carve out a decent life as a working actor and published author. In her fifties, however, her fortunes changed and she found herself divorced, renting out a room in her house, and wondering how a middle class existence can slip away after a lifetime of hard work. She chronicles these struggles-often hilariously-in her fifth book You're Leaving When? Adventures in Downward Mobility. In this conversation, Annabelle speaks with Meghan about how she thinks she got to this place, what she's learned about homelessness and access to health care, and how a recent medical crisis has raised her stakes even further. She also speaks about her child, now a young adult, who identifies as nonbinary and how coming to understand that identity led her to think that future  generations might be able to make better sense of the world than we do.   Guest Bio: Annabelle Gurwitch is the author of five books, including The New York Times bestseller and Thurber Prize finalist I See You Made an Effort. She's written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, LA Magazine and Hadassah among other publications. Her latest book is You're Leaving When? Adventures in Downward Mobility, published by Counterpoint Press. 

Jason Feffer continues our series on the self-emptying love of Christ and how it leads to a posture and lifestyle of downward mobility. Then, we practice an embodied prayer of surrender. Find more info on our website. 

This week many of our listeners had to make some tough leadership decisions regarding Covid-19. We love you, and we know that nothing has prepared us well for this moment. We spend a few moments, in the beginning, talking about some thoughts we have as we have thought through the pandemic. Disclaimer, we recorded on Thursday, March 12, less than 2 hours after, the county J.R. and I live in closed all its schools for the next two weeks, has canceled all large gatherings and is asking the population to practice social distancing. And, there is a toilet paper shortage!! We are sure that even when this reaches our listeners, the situation will have changed again. Our interview this week is with Alan Fadling is timely. This conversation was so fruitful and long that we decided to make it into two parts. This episode begins with Alan sharing the most helpful metaphor of ministry of a pitcher, cup, saucer, and plate Alan shares his story of hearing a clear vision from the Lord and watching it die over years of downward mobility only to be resurrected at the right time. He speaks to the danger of success over failure and so much more—Alan bursts at the seams with wisdom and grace.  Resources: https://www.unhurriedliving.com/Alan's books: An Unhurried Leader & An Unhurried Life      Questions:- When are you tempted to reach for the pitcher? - What areas of your life could be described as hurried? How might you move from hurried to unhurried?  If you have any questions, comments, or thoughts for the show drop us a line, at dougmoister@gmail.com or jrbriggs@kairospartnerships.orgWe are a new podcast, so we ask you to make sure to subscribe, write a review, and share this with other pastors and kingdom leaders.
