Episode 64: Pluralism in EducationAvailable October 15, 2024Navigating polarities and fostering respectful dialogue are responsibilities that weigh heavy on many school leaders right now. How, in the current social and political climate, can we build bridges of cooperation rather than creating further barriers that divide us? How can we create space for people to voice ideas and opinions while balancing our very real obligations to nurture student safety and wellbeing? Eboo Patel, author and Director of Interfaith America, sits down with NAIS President Debra Wilson to talk about his work on the role of pluralism in schools.Guest: Eboo PatelResources, Transcript, and Expanded Show NotesIn This Episode:“Diversity is a treasure. Identity is a source of pride, not a status of victimization. Cooperation is better than division. Faith is a bridge. Everybody's a contributor.” (4:49)“It is an exercise of citizenship in a diverse democracy to come to know something about your fellow citizens who are from different identities, including different political parties, including different regions of the world, and from different intellectual frameworks and maybe of different values. I mean, you know, did I think diversity was just the differences I liked?” (16:00)“If there's anything that a school should be, it should be a place that is immune to the kind of ideologies that shut down the conversation. I want to quote John Courtney Murray again. I think it's so powerful. He says, civilization is living and talking together. That is the definition of civilization. And the definition of the barbarian is the person who shuts down the conversation. And the introduction of ideologies that shut down conversations about, for example, how people from different identities should relate to one another.” (21:41)“If you're United Airlines, and you're hiring a graduate from Embry Riddle aeronautical university, you are pretty sure that person can fly a plane. If I hire a graduate from The Lab School or Latin School or Parker, these are elite independent schools in my city of Chicago, what should I be confident that graduate can do? And I think a head of school should say, my graduate can navigate pluralism.” (25:12)Related Episodes: 37, 30, 29, 22, 17, 7, 4 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's time for Short Time Shots, a quick look at the day in college wrestling. Did you know 15 years ago, Kyle Klingman and I launched our very first podcast called Wrestling 411. Yup, now over 3,000 episodes later, I'm still trying to figure this out. In Blacksburg, the raucous crowd at Cassell Coliseum was silenced both early and late as the eighth-ranked Buckeyes topped the fifth-ranked Hokies 24-12. The biggest win came at the jump as Brendan McCrone majored All-American Eddie Ventresca 11-3 at 125 pounds. With Ventresca leading in the second period, McCrone countered Ventresca to his back, picking up a seven point move and went from trailing 3-2 to up 9-3. Isaac Wilcox used a third-period takedown to upend Connor Brady 6-5 in a pivotal swing bout. Ryder Rogotzke's dual meet debut at 184 pounds was a big one as the 2023 Junior Schalles Award winner scored his fifth fall of the year over Sam Fisher. Two freshmen Buckeyes - Luke Geog and Nick Feldman - would take wins over ranked opponents to close out the win for Tom Ryan's squad. The Hokies did pick up three notable ranked wins - Caleb Henson beat Dylan D'Emilio at 149, Bryce Andonian beat high school teammate Paddy Gallagher at 157 and Mekhi Lewis beat Carson Kharchla at 174. Ninth-ranked Nebraska rolled past Campbell 37-4 in Lincoln. The Huskers earned six bonus victories and saw a stellar return from Peyton Robb at 157 pounds after his freak infection that nearly cost him his leg last offseason. The Huskers two best wins came at the first two weights as Lenny Pinto edged Caleb Hopkins 6-5 at 184 and Silas Allred beat Levi Hopkins 11-6 at 197 pounds. At Gallagher-Iba Arena, Oklahoma State won nine of 10 to top visiting Bucknell 38-6. The only stumble came at 174 pounds, where Oklahoma State injury defaulted late in the first period after an apparent hamstring injury from Brayden Thompson. Daton Fix and Dustin Plott each scored falls, while Troy Spratley at 125 and Luke Surber at 197 earned techs. Three straight bonus victories for Indiana at 174, 184 and 197 helped pull the host Hoosiers past upset-minded Rider 27-15 at historic Assembly Hall on Friday. Trailing 15-10, D.J. Washington picked up a technical fall over Mike Wilson, then transfer Roman Rogotzke pinned Isaac Dean in the third period at 184 pounds, the second big fall of the night for the Rogotzke family at the weight class. Up 21-16, Gabe Sollars slammed the door on Rider with a second-period fall over Azeem Bell at 197. Rider's top win came at 149 pounds, where Quinn Kinner knocked off Graham Rooks, who's ranked in the top 10 in most, if not all, of the rankings. Ned Shuck and the Bellarmine Knights opened up with a 49-0 win over Division II Kentucky Wesleyan Friday night in Louisville. Word is they got a pretty boisterous crowd down there for Coach Shuck. Out west, Wyoming rolled past host CSU Bakersfield 40-3. The Cowboys got falls from Riley Davis at 174 pounds and Paolo Salminen at 157 pounds. In Division III, TCNJ beat Wilkes 35-11 and we'll keep with the acronym theme as Muhlenberg beat NJCU 38-7. Arizona Christian won four duals - beating Division II New Mexico Highlands 25-20, Simpson (Calif.) 40-15 and a pair of California Junior Colleges - Cerritos 46-9 and Sierra College 52-0 at the Mile High Duals in Prescott, Arizona, hosted by Embry-Riddle. Elsewhere in the NAIA, Dakota Wesleyan beat Ridgewater of the NJCAA 32-15. Good number of Junior Colleges were in action at the Mile High Duals and around the country as well. North Idaho beat Ellsworth 49-0 and Southeast, again, the one in Nebraska, 35-6. Southeast beat Ellsworth 30-19. Back in Prescott, Snow beat Cerritos 41-10, NAIA Embry-Riddle 24-22, and Sierra 53-0. On the women's side, Life picked up home wins over Hastings and Marymount at home before hosting Eagle Madness in Marietta on Saturday. Remember, these aren't all the scores, but it's a lot of them. Full Division I scoreboard can be found at CollegeWrestlingScoreboard.com and all tournament links from every division can be found at almanac.mattalkonline.com.
In 2018, I was invited to be a speaker at a conference in the Midwest. Before I got on the stage to present my keynote, the session before me was talking about a new concept that I remember briefly hearing about as a student at Embry-Riddle, Advance Air Mobility (AAM). The speaker mentioned how AAM is the future of aviation, and that it will revolutionize air travel as we know it. AAM is known as the development, integration, and utilization of new airborne transportation systems, typically involving electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, drones, and other innovative aerial vehicles. These systems are designed to operate in urban, suburban, and rural environments. Since that conference in 2018, so many developments have transpired in this sector. Key Features of the AAM sectors include; eVTOLs: These are aircraft that can take off and land vertically like a helicopter but transition to forward flight like a plane, predominantly powered by electric propulsion.Urban Air Mobility (UAM): A subset of AAM focusing on urban environments. UAM seeks to alleviate ground traffic congestion by taking advantage of the airspace above cities.Decentralized Infrastructure: Instead of large central airports, AAM emphasizes smaller vertiports or landing pads scattered throughout urban and suburban areas.Autonomous Operations: While initial operations may have human pilots, the goal for many AAM solutions is to eventually operate autonomously, which will require advanced autonomous flight systems and robust air traffic management solutions. The AAM sector on a global scale was valued at $8.2 billion in 2022. It is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20% by 2032 with a valuation to reach about $68.1 billion. Furthermore, investments in AAM have reached $4.8 billion in 2021, with new innovative companies launching each year in pursuit of the next successful eVTOL to hit the market. Specifically, there are over 200 companies globally in the race to develop eVTOL aircraft. The primary driver in the AAM sector is the Urban Air Mobility market which is projected to rise from 3.8 billion to 38.5 billion by 2030. In terms of women in this sector, McKinsey & Company shared on its blog this year how women are advancing in Future Air Mobility (FAM). Here are a few key points the blog shared. Sustainable aviation saw the biggest improvement in gender diversity, with the number of women and nonbinary people increasing from 13 percent to 18 percent.Other segments, including manned advanced air mobility/eVTOL vehicles and small drones, showed smaller gains.Companies that develop supersonic and hypersonic technology regressed, with the number of women and nonbinary people falling from 23 percent to 20 percent, although the small sample size means that the departure of a few senior leaders could sway the numbers in a meaningful way.Among regions, North America has the most diverse leadership teams in both gender (20 percent female or nonbinary) and ethnic diversity—defined as the non-majority group in a company's home country (18 percent).Technical roles have seen the biggest increase in diversity for both genders (going from 5 percent to 14 percent female or nonbinary) and people from ethnic minorities (going from 12 percent to 16 percent).Despite this progress, women and nonbinary people remain significantly underrepresented in technical roles at FAM companies, as they are in many other industries. Our special guest who will launch us into season five of the AVIATE with Shaesta podcast is Elan Head, a familiar voice in AAM. Elan is an award-winning journalist specializing in aviation and technology. Head currently serves as the Senior Editor at The Air Current and continues to be a respected journalist in the industry covering several developments and breaking news in AAM. Elan is a Commercial Helicopter Pilot and an FAA Gold Seal flight instructor with helicopter and instrument helicopter ratings. Elan joins us to share her unexpected start in aviation and how she turned her passion for flight and journalism into a career that she truly enjoys.

Jenni Craig visits the SnapCast to talk about Affinity Programs, how to develop them, and how they benefit any philanthropic endeavor. Jenni has over fifteen years of experience in higher education, and is currently the principal at Affinity Makers, helping nonprofits to define and build their affinity programs. (Prior to Affinity Makers, Jenni's efforts have generated $2M in memberships and major gifts for Embry Riddle.) Among the things we discuss: Moves management tool to grow annual giving into mid-level donors, and mid-level donors into major gift prospects According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, mid-level donors make up 1% of an organizations total donor base, yet their contributions can make up 34% of total donor revenue Affinity programs strengthen a donor's affinity for the organization, create reliable & consistent revenue, and develop a major gift donor pipeline Statistically, a $100,000 gift takes 18 months and 8-10 touchpoints between a donor and a major gift officer; affinity programs move the needle without the pressure and investment of ongoing one-on-one cultivation. Three necessities for a thriving mid-level donor program: 1. Touchpoint/communications calendar 2. Stewardship plan 3. Cultivation plan Whether an organization is looking to expand their donor base or grow current annual fund donors, affinity programs are a proven system for making these goals possible. We welcome support of the Nonprofit SnapCast via Patreon. We welcome your questions and feedback via The Nonprofit Snapshot website.
We hope that you had a wonderful 4th of July! Today's episode is one that we're really excited to share with you. It was a privilege to have Tammy Baker in the studio with us! She has a story that is unlike any other that we've heard and we're so thankful for her openness in sharing how God worked an incredible change in her heart. Tammy grew up in California and Alaska with a single mom and had one sister. Life was tough and because of the hardship her family experienced Tammy began to view having children as a burden and vowed that she would never get married. She was feeling these things even as a child herself. She was very driven in academics and ended up pursuing aerospace engineering at Embry-Riddle while being involved with Air Force ROTC. In her time in college, she met a young man named Glenn and even though she had vowed to never be married her love for him eventually changed that idea and they married. Both Tammy and Glenn were on the same page about never having children and everything seemed to be falling into place. They both had great careers and were moving across the U.S. for various job opportunities and were truly enjoying life together. There would be people along the way who would ask if they were planning to have children and Tammy was adamant that children would never be a part of their plan. She had compiled a whole list of reasons to not have children. But as we know with God saying "never" can be a funny thing. This is an amazing story about how the Lord slowly but surely began to work in and soften Tammy's heart to the idea of becoming a mother. Her list was eventually surrendered. Tammy shares how she was able to fall in love with the idea of being a mother all while still pursuing her career. A major theme in her story is the concept of letting go and what that looks like when you're following God and become truly open to His plans. We encourage you to open your heart and mind as you listen to this story!Would you please subscribe and leave us a review? This will help our podcast reach more people! We'd love it if you'd share this podcast with your friends on social media and beyond. Join us next Wednesday to hear another story of God's faithfulness!

Are you tired of your investments not even keeping pace with inflation? Have you been meaning to get into real estate but feel you've missed the market? You're not alone! In this episode of Get Your FILL - Financial Independence & Long Life Podcast, Alternative Investor, Chris Odegard, shares how he lost half of his retirement investment and then came back with a vengeance! Listen to the podcast Watch the video Catch up with Chris: Website YouTube LinkedIn From Chris Odegard I wasn't always The Prolific Investor. I was raised in a middle-class family in Forest Park, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati. There I learned precisely what my parents knew, get an education, get a job with benefits and a pension, and invest your money in a well-diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs through a 401K. And that's exactly what I did for the next twenty-plus years. I acquired my education at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida and went on to work for The Boeing Company. On balance, my 33.5 years at Boeing were remarkable, a tremendous adventure and learning experience. My travels have taken me to over thirty countries, including Katmandu. How many people can say they've been to Katmandu? I had many different jobs over the years; most notable was Director of Contracts, where I wrote and negotiated contracts for the sale of 737, 747, 777, and 787 aircraft to airlines worldwide and one royal family. This is where my love for business was born. While my formal education stopped with my bachelor's degree from Embry-Riddle, this job was an MBA on steroids! What I learned in big business has helped me tremendously in the small business world in which I operate today. This path served me quite well in many ways. It put me in the middle class where I raised a family, put two children through college, and was on track for a comfortable retirement at age sixty-five. I was precisely what Robert Kiyosaki calls an “E,” an employee, in his book Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom. And even though being an “E” and following the conventional investing worked for me to an extent, I now know that in following that path, I left millions of dollars on the table. t is a very different time now, and I don't believe this path will work for my children and other young people today. They will need to be smarter at a younger age than I was. A look at some statistics from a study conducted by GoBankingRates.com clearly tell us that conventional wisdom isn't working: 34% of Americans have $0 in savings 69% of Americans have less than $10K in saving 46% of Americans have $0 in retirement savings 65% of Americans have less than $10K in retirement savings 49% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck 36% of Americans believe they are ready for retirement Read more about Chris here

It all started with the 'Salad Bar'. Stetson University head coach Jamie Francis learned to row in the salad bar? at the salad bar? In a boat named the salad bar because his high school program had bought the boat from a restaurant that was using the boat to display the salad bar. From there Jamie went on to row in college, and moved into coaching. After a journey that included Penn State, Mercyhurst, and Embry Riddle, Jamie now is the head coach of Stetson University where he is seeing early success.

This week we are joined by fellow aeromedical reform advocate, Courtney Anderson. Courtney is a student pilot at Embry Riddle, Daytona Beach. During freshman year she became sick and had no clue why. After multiple appointments, unanswered questions, and not being taken seriously by doctors for almost an entire year… Courtney was eventually diagnosed with Hashimoto disease. She describes her experience while undiagnosed and her recovery; as well as her journey back to flight training. Like so many women across the country, doctors failed to take her seriously. If Courtney had not taken the time to advocate for herself she might still be suffering undiagnosed. Her story is inspiring and we hope it gives you the courage to weather the storm of your own health struggles.
