Welcome to episode #978 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Dr. Christopher DiCarlo is a philosopher, educator, author, and ethicist whose work lives at the intersection of human values, science, and emerging technology. Over the years, Christopher has built a reputation as a Socratic nonconformist, equally at home lecturing at Harvard during his postdoctoral years as he is teaching critical thinking in correctional institutions or corporate boardrooms. He's the author of several important books on logic and rational discourse, including How To Become A Really Good Pain In The Ass - A Critical Thinker's Guide To Asking The Right Questions and So You Think You Can Think?, as well as the host of the podcast, All Thinks Considered. In this conversation, we dig into his latest book, Building A God - The Ethics Of Artificial Intelligence And The Race To Control It, which takes a sobering yet practical look at the ethical governance of AI as we accelerate toward the possibility of artificial general intelligence. Drawing on years of study in philosophy of science and ethics, Christopher lays out the risks - manipulation, misalignment, lack of transparency - and the urgent need for international cooperation to set safeguards now. We talk about everything from the potential of AI to revolutionize healthcare and sustainability to the darker realities of deepfakes, algorithmic control, and the erosion of democratic processes. His proposal? A kind of AI “Geneva Conventions,” or something akin to the IAEA - but for algorithms. In a world rushing toward techno-utopianism, Christopher is a clear-eyed voice asking: “What kind of Gods are we building… and can we still choose their values?” If you're thinking about the intersection of ethics and AI (and we should all be focused on this!), this is essential listening.

Have you ever wondered if our very instincts—those survival mechanisms that got us here—might actually be our biggest threat? Today, we're diving into this fascinating paradox with Kristian Rönn, a brilliant mind who's not only the CEO and co-founder of Normative, the world's first carbon accounting engine, but also a thought leader whose work spans climate policy, philosophy, and artificial intelligence. Before founding Normative, Kristian worked at the University of Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, researching global catastrophic risks. His new book, The Darwinian Trap, examines how our evolutionary wiring, these so-called ‘Darwinian demons,' drive behaviors that could undermine humanity's future.In this episode, we're exploring everything from the hidden forces shaping our decisions to the existential risks of technology and our fundamental need for global cooperation. Kristian brings a fresh and urgent perspective to the conversation on climate change and societal challenges, and he's got some revolutionary ideas on what it will take to truly evolve beyond our short-term impulses.By the end of this episode, you'll not only understand these deeply ingrained patterns but hopefully feel inspired to start recognizing them in your own life—and maybe even consider how we, collectively, can work toward a more sustainable future.Episode highlights:00:25 Meet Kristian Rönn: CEO and Thought Leader02:40 Understanding the Darwinian Trap03:44 Examples of the Darwinian Trap in Action07:38 Can We Override Our Evolutionary Instincts?08:42 Hope from Nature's Solutions13:14 Global Cooperation and Governance18:09 Reforming Global Policies and Incentives38:49 The Role of Technology in Global Empathy42:41 Ethical Guidelines for Technological Innovation49:12 Normative's Role in Carbon Emissions Accounting52:18 Conclusion and Contact InformationResources mentioned:Normative.IOThe Darwinian Trap by Kristian RonnGuest's social handles:LinkedInInstagramP.S.

Exploring how AI is reshaping law practice, from case management to ethical challenges.   Tanner Jones, your host and Vice President of Business Development at Consultwebs, welcomes you to another episode of the LAWsome Podcast by Consultwebs.   In this episode, Tanner Jones interviews Tom Askeroth, a trial lawyer specializing in workers' compensation and personal injury, about the intersection of technology and law. They discuss how AI is transforming the legal landscape and the ethical considerations that come with it. Tom highlights how AI tools aid in case management, litigation, and the analysis of complex documents like scientific articles and public records. He emphasizes the need for attorneys to stay current with AI advancements to enhance their practices and remain competitive. The conversation also covers the potential risks of automation in areas such as document review and legal research, while stressing the importance of interpersonal skills and ethical considerations in using AI. Tom advocates for attorneys to develop their understanding and proficiency in AI to navigate the changing landscape effectively and ethically.   Key Takeaways: AI is a transformative force reshaping the legal landscape, and it is important for legal professionals to stay informed about its potential applications. Integrating AI into legal practices can help level the playing field for underdogs in the legal system, such as injured workers and victims. AI tools like ChatGPT can assist attorneys in understanding scientific and medical articles, summarizing reports, spotting inconsistencies in records, and analyzing public record information. Staying abreast of the latest developments in AI is crucial to fully leverage its capabilities and explore new possibilities in the legal field. Artificial intelligence is set to disrupt the legal field, particularly in areas such as document review, contract drafting, and legal research. Attorneys should stay updated on the latest developments in AI and understand the ethical guidelines and privacy concerns associated with using AI tools. AI can be a valuable tool for attorneys, streamlining processes and leveling the playing field. Attorneys should focus on developing interpersonal skills and client-facing practice areas, as clients will always want to have a human attorney to talk to.

This is Part 1 of a three part conversation with Dr. Susan Friedman and Rick Hester. Dr. Friedman has been a frequent guest on this podcast. Most of you I'm sure already know Susan. But just as a reminder, Susan is a professor emeritus in the Department of Psychology at Utah State University. She is a pioneer in the use of Applied Behavior Analysis in the handling of captive and companion animals. Her interest in developing scientifically sound, ethical standards for animal care and training prompted our this current conversation. We are also joined by Rick Hester. Rick is the curator of behavioral Husbandry for the Cheyenne Mountain zoo. Rick overseas the zoo's training program for husbandry, medical and public show behaviors. I value the perspective he brings to training. When you work with horses it all too easy to think you have to rely on force-based methods for some medical and husbandry behaviors - and then you see what's being done in zoos. We begin by talking about why it matters to have ethical standards guiding the training choices we make. We are talking about training goals and strategies that provide our learners with choice and a lifestyle of control.

Uncover the timeless wisdom of the Talmud as we navigate the intricacies of charity within the Jewish community and the profound values it upholds. This episode reveals the thoughtful mechanisms of collection and distribution, ensuring accountability and fairness while respecting the diverse needs of society. Grapple with the ethical weight of promises in the realm of charity through Talmudic teachings and real-life anecdotes, as we explore cases like the two brothers who tackled moral responsibility head-on as charity fund administrators, and discover how the phrase "Bli Neder" serves as a protective shield against unforeseen circumstances.Step into the world of hidden kindness as we share the touching narrative of Yussel, the "holy miser," and the secret generosity that illuminated his true character after his passing. This story opens the door to appreciation for the discreet philanthropists among us, whose silent contributions shape the communal fabric. Our conversation then transitions to honoring those dedicated individuals who connect donors with those in need, shining a light on their pivotal role and the integrity required in such noble work.

My guest today is Gatis Zēmanis, co founder of "Kalve Coffee", we are talking about design as a strong component of business from day one.M: Hi, Gatis! Thanks for the coffee which comes from Coffee Roastery KALVE and which has been roasted here, in Riga. You have worked with coffee a lot. Can you tell me a bit about the history? When did you start and how did you end up in coffee?G: Many people have asked “Why coffee? “, and the answer is that this product is important, I like coffee, and it's a very interesting product to work with emotionally and financially, but the connection to coffee most likely are the people from this industry, and what makes this industry cool is its openness and responsiveness on a global level, and it seems that coffee is a massive global business, but while we are on the topic of specialty, you can actually reach any point of the world, farmer or the world's best barista, or a roaster.M: Can you briefly explain what is specialty coffee?G: It differs with quality – there's specialty coffee and there's mainstream coffee. There's an institution called Cup of Excellence who are special certified judges who assess coffee's sensory characteristics and give you points. Specialty coffee means that each bean that's in your package will be free of defects, they will have more or less the same size and gradation, namely, there will be a lot more work put into the coffee to bring out the best of it. Interestingly, if we talk about mainstream coffee… actually the topic of coffee is changing very quickly, and coffee demand globally is growing, and few days ago I had a conversation with a Latvian scientist Ilze Laukalēja who studies coffee and who has research a lot of thing in USA universities, and she had a question from one of the biggest corporate companies of Brazil that produces green coffee about what to do with the mainstream coffee that people need less and less. They found that this coffee has a lot more antioxidants and a lot of good substances, and now there's a big question mark regarding what to do in order to turn this defect into an effect.M: When you started, you were not the first coffee roaster in Riga. I know that historically there have been more than 20 coffee roasteries in Riga, but back when you started there were 2 or 3. When you came up with your offer, what was the essence you put in your brand when you recognized that there's a place for one more roastery and what was the place you hoped to occupy?G: Primarily, me and Raimonds, my partner , saw that we really love the specialty coffee and that we like everything that this specialty coffee offers in the sensory and community sense. And we saw that specialty coffee is not emotionally and financially presented in the way that we see it, that it was more like a niche product. If we would let a coffee drinker, who drinks Italian coffee, try a specialty coffee, he would think it's bitter and expensive etc., so our goal was to make this specialty coffee emotionally and financially available.M: I know that your brand has many values that you strictly adhere to, one that you mentioned was  availability, price. Are there any other values that you identified from the beginning and that you considered as the pillars of your brand?G: We really put in a lot of work in the beginning in order to create a navigation map for us that's based on these pillars – core values. One of them is availability, and it doesn't only mean price availability… speciality coffee doesn't have to cost 50 euros per kilo, it can just as well cost 25 euros per kilo. Or availability of taste, when it doesn't mean that this coffee has a particular, bitter, fruity taste that's not acceptable to an Italian. We are able to create an expresso blend that's specialty, but which is accepted by both an Italian and a specialty coffee drinker. The second value, which is absolutely essential and nowadays topical for almost every company, is sustainability. Sustainable design, sustainable thinking within the company, sustainable delivery or packaging.M: One of the things that separates you from most of the companies, is that you had a strong emphasis on a high quality brand design from day one. There are a lot of beautiful brands, but there are few brands where this has been addressed from the beginning. You are one of the rare companies that has a designer within its founding team. Such brands are not many, Madara Cosmetics is one of the examples and you are also one of such companies that has a designer at hand from day one, and that is obvious. What was the decision on your part when you understood that this is an aspect that is worth paying attention to?G: It was most likely an unconscious choice and coincidence. It was clear that we wanted this to be a high-quality brand not only in the terms of contents, but also regarding design. It had to look really good. Our ambitions were high enough that we saw this coffee brand not in the context of Latvia or the Baltics, but in the context of Europe. Destiny brought us together with this one guy Jānis Andersons, and at the very beginning we had decided that we would not attract investors just so we could sustain the ability to manoeuvre and freely make decisions. So, when we met Jānis and started talking, we understood that we can't afford to pay him for the whole brand development, marketing strategy etc., and through conversations we came to a conclusion that maybe we should be partners.M: You mentioned brand culture and that you had a common understanding about how the company should be created. I know that you work a lot with the internal culture. Maybe you could tell me about your approach to the invisible parts that we don't see on the shelves, but that you work a lot on.G: In reality it's very simple. In the company internally it's important to know the rules of the game for all stages, for example, what do I expect from my partner, what I expect from a colleague, how we as a company want to communicate outwards and how we explain that to baristas. We have invested a lot of time and work in various internal materials, one of them is “The Handbook of Kalve's Values”, where we have stipulated various things, for example, how the brand communicates with a person, the brand being the product and me as a company representative, and the barista, and any product we choose to sell in addition to coffee. How the brand communicates with environment. How we as people should communicate with our clients, our partners, our friends etc. And the other material, which is very good and serves as a bible that should from time to time be read by everyone within the company, is “Ethical Guidelines”. It includes various situations where we have described how we want our clients to be communicated with.M: It think it's very cool that you have done that. Your company is young, and such things often are done only when you are starting to drown, when the company has grown and you realize that you can no longer hold the team in line. You have done it at the very beginning, by writing down your principles as a founder, so afterwards it's easier to scale them and grow bigger. You mentioned the easier route… I have one more question about this topic. Even though you're not a tech start-up, you are trying to implement many things from this field in your daily life. You mentioned KPI, you have talked about the Lean methodology, which normally is language used by tech start-ups. Tell me how you implement it in your daily life and what it means to you.G: A person close to me keeps saying that you should develop a lazy person within yourself, which means you have to arrange your work environment and all systems in a way that actually makes you effective, so that you save time, you save money and resources etc. Lean methodology is one of the methods used in production; I don't think you have to look up what it is. And KPI is a method that helps you find the weak links and work on them.M: A while after founding the roastery, you opened your first coffee shop on Stabu Street. What was the idea behind this coffee shop? Was it marketing? What was the idea then and what is it now?G: If I'm being honest, the expectations weren't great. We knew we wanted to open a cool coffee shop where we ourselves would like to work. The idea was to show how we see a modern, worldly, high-quality, easily accessible café. This is the easiest way to receive feedback from the client, because it's not only a café, but also a store. The barista is able to talk to people, ask what they liked and what they didn't, understand how many people return, how many come once and don't return. It's a platform on which we can measure many different things with our product.M: You talked about things that shouldn't be rushed. You even started your company gradually and deliberately. You said there were no big investments. If I'm correct, you started with a 60 000 starting capital, which isn't a lot for a producing company. There were no big investments from the outside, which means slower growth, but that was a deliberate decision.G: You can quite easily attract certain investments to such a concept as ours, but the question is whether you should. Big investments quite often put you in a losing position, and you lose certain ability to manoeuvre. Whereas, if you grow more slowly, you are able to adapt to the market. If we had invested thrice as much money, would we be able to pay all of it now? Most likely not. Everything has to happen little by little.M: At the beginning of our conversation you mentioned sustainability as one of the main pillars you based your company on. You see that there is a demand for these things, people are willing to pay a little more for a sustainable product.G: Quite often, if you want to change something in your life so that it's in line with the sustainability principles, it most likely requires some changes, and people are lazy when it comes to that. On our part, we actually created a system regarding packaging that works really well, it was really important for us that this packaging differs from anything else on the market and that we combine it with certain sustainability principles. For example, if we look at standard coffee packaging - it's produced from two materials, therefore it doesn't comply with sustainability principles. There are two materials, you can't separate the waste, it means you can't produce it from recycled plastics, so we ended up with this can. A lot of people use the opportunity to refill these packages. The idea is that if you buy a can at our store and pay 10 euros, you can come back and refill it for 6 euros. The idea was not to increase the price so that this sustainable product gets going, but the opposite. We need to create a system based on sustainability principles that makes it easier for people to change their habits. They see they can save 4 euros, which, considering their consumption, would be around 100 euros per year, so they do it. The design-based thinking is not only reflected in the product, but in our every step – how we choose premises, how we furnish the bathroom so that moms can change their babies etc. I think that what separates successful people or companies from less successful ones is decision-making, how successful you are at making certain decisions at a certain time. If we talk about design… my side of the company is the business management side, Raimonds oversees the coffee where I don't even intervene, and Jānis oversees the design side, not only the product, but a wider, strategic design. But when it comes to big, important decisions, we make them together, not separately. I think it's the right way to make a better decision.M: How do people see this small coffee roastery from an even smaller country that's not Italy and is not known for coffee? What's the reaction when such good coffee suddenly comes from this world region?G: I think it's important to set very high goals, set a high bar at the very beginning. Big ambitions in a good sense, but then it's important to check whether you can attain them. It's really bad if you have big ambitions that you can't attain, or vice versa - you have the ability that you can't actualize because your ambitions are too low.M: Then I wish you success in actualizing these ambitions step by step and may your every morning start with a good coffee!Gatis Zēmanis:https://www.linkedin.com/in/gatis-zemanis-25836073/?originalSubdomain=lv--Subscribe to Asketic Podcast on:Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/73QSMYK46NHoHCytJYYmPZ?si=Mw4ZLISUSoueh9Es1pCLUgApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/lv/podcast/asketic-podcast/id1496922775YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQdekksSROS4PCxRV7aqT3QGoogle Podcasts:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2Fza2V0aWMtcG9kY2FzdA--Asketic design & branding:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asketicstudio/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asketic/WWW: http://asketic.com/

ADZG 856 ADZG Sunday Morning Dharma Talk by Rev. Taigen Dan Leighton

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) After a brief review of the previous talks in this series, and a clarification of the different dimensions of our practice, we continue to explore the foundation given last time--empathy practice and the intention to understand and connect with another. We work with two brief exercises which point to ways of practicing empathy. Then we examine the four guidelines for wise or skillful speech given by the Buddha--for our speech and communication to be truthful, helpful, kind and loving (even when saying difficult things), and timely.

Roxanne Mykitiuk is an Osgoode Hall law professor and director of the Disability Law Intensive Program at York University and Trudo Lemmens is a professor at the University of Toronto.

9: How Much Will You Make In Illustration? How much will you make in illustration? [2:06] This is a question every student has, and the frustrating part is that it is often not discussed openly, or is just glossed over in school. Which, honestly, is a bit crazy! Some reasons for this may be that those who are teaching are making too little and are embarrassed to share that, or it may be that they are making a lot of money and don’t want to share that, because they are afraid of coming across as bragging. In this episode, we hope to cut through the fog of uncertainty and shed some real light on what the market is like and how much you can expect to make in illustration, in different fields, and in different stages of your career. Making a life in illustration [4:09] When speaking of how much you make in illustration and of the various fields of illustration we are are ultimately talking about different lifestyles. A children’s book illustrator gets paid differently than a concept artist at an animation studio; the same can be said for a gallery painter or an editorial artist, etc. Each comes with its own unique type of payment system and accompanying lifestyle. There are many different career paths and combinations of career paths and it is wise to consider the environment and the financial situations that come with each. Responsibility to talk about the business side too [6:44] Schools are put into a tricky situation, because they need to recruit students and promise them a great career but the topic of money can be glossed over because the schools can’t guarantee jobs coming out of school. Will finds it necessary to have a talk with about finances with his students in each of his classes, and each time the students tell him: no one else has ever talked to us about this! Comfortable to talk about how much you make [7:45] Money is this weird thing that sometimes people hold so close to their chest. And sometimes people are super secretive about it. It can be frustrating If you have artistic ability, the gamut of jobs available go from freelance out of your home to working full time at an animation studio and everything in between. Jake has taught at Brigham Young University (BYU), and feels as if the animation department there does a good job at helping students create connections with studios; they fly studios out to help conduct portfolio reviews and recruit. They try to get their students lined up with jobs and internships. The hard thing about Illustration is that it doesn’t have a central source providing all illustration jobs, it’s everywhere! You school could fly and editor out to talk to talk about publishing work but they can’t offer 5 years of work like an animation studio can. It can be a challenge to keep consistent work right out of school but there are things that you can do to prepare and gear yourself up to have consistent work; you can start trying to line up work, and start developing relationships to prepare. It can be frustrating when you have no one to talk to about the financial side of illustration but it really only takes talking with a few people to start to get a pretty good idea of what it is like. Hopefully, this podcast will be a good start for you in answering your questions. 6 factors that affect your income as an illustrator [12:26] It can be tricky to nail it all down, and don’t feel bad if you don’t fit into these categories. We are just going to ballpark some numbers and hopefully you can go from there! We’ll divide it up into 2 different categories with 3 different sub categories. Three different income bracket Early pro Mid level pro Pro, seasoned veteran Skill level Exceptional skill Average skill Below average skill It is important to know which you are talking about because if you use a seasoned pro like Chris Van Allsburg as a guide vs a student fresh out of school, you will get very different numbers. People like Chris and David Wiesner have won multiple Caldecotts and are definitely anomalies. You also need to distinguish your skill level with your career because there are students who are getting work in school and have an absolutely exceptional skill level, and these guys are super successful right out of the gate. Chris Van Allsburg David Wiesner Dan Santat We’ll try and focus a lot on average skill level, because people like those described above are outliers, and people with below average skill aren’t really going to be getting a lot of jobs. What you can expect from book publishing [17:23] Early pro $8,000-$10,000 for advances Mid level pro $20,000- $24,000 Pro $28,000- and up Educational publishers won’t be higher than $10,000 Small publishers offer less [19:27] There are smaller publishers and they don’t offer as much. This means you should really think about whether or not it’s worth your time to work with them, consider these questions: Questions to ask yourself before you accept work [20:13] Does it pay well? [20:28] Is it creative or challenging and taking you in the direction you want to go? [20:36] Will the final finished work provide extraordinary exposure? [20:48] Lee considers these three questions when taking publishing offers. Ideally the project will fulfill all 3 questions but if it fulfilled two out of the three Lee would consider accepting the work. Senior level in book publishing [22:16] As you begin to build traction and notoriety the figures start to increase. Book illustration and publishing are a long term investment. You can build a long term career with passive income. A published book doesn’t necessarily lead to royalties [23:33] Most childrens books don’t earn out. Consider that most books go out of print. Royalties are great when they do come but, a general rule of thumb you could adopt is to just assume that you won’t get any and seek for the best advance possible. Quick book advance explanation [25:11] Publisher gives you advances on royalties. So you don’t get any money on royalties until the royalties due to you cross the amount of your advance. The advance is really there to protect the artist and create incentives. Publishers can estimate how much a book might make in royalties and they give that money up front. It takes a lot of time to make a children’s book and you can look at this as high income short term rates and long term investments you need to think about this as a business. What you can expect to make within entertainment and concept art [27:00] There are so many options, such as: storyboarding, background art, background painting, concept art, etc. Entertainment industry [28:29] Main Industries Animation Video Games TV Live Action Feature animation, and feature live action pay more but TV might last longer like ten years. Video games can fluctuate but depending on the studio they can have pay rates similar to feature animation. Feature anything is considering those with top tear skill sets and you can anticipate $70,000 starting off but also consider the cost of living in the area where feature animation is i.e. California. Cost of living in California is very high and your income may not be able to sustain a life there. One of the reasons schools don’t talk about money [32:12] You need to understand the life that you are choosing because there is a lifespan to each project that you have. Movies are made within 3-4 years and the studios have the option to keep or not keep you. You should treat each job like it is freelance and think of your options. The are highs and lows in the industry. Benefits of working in the entertainment industry [34:35] In the entertainment industry there are great perks to think about like benefits, bonuses, and retirement. You can work around peers that help you and push you to level up your craft. The exposure of working in the industry also opens up other doors. Working in a company there is lateral movement like storyboarding or production assistance. Day rate for feature animation concept art [35:42] There are also opportunities to do freelance for animation, video games, TV, advertising, etc. The day rate is set by the studio or you can negotiate for it. For animation, the max is about $500/day. Think about your social needs [36:35] Are you social? Do you need to, or do you prefer to work on a team with people or to work more solitary? This is a factor you should consider with different career paths, some are inherently more sociable and some are inherently more solitary. Puppet Sanding to doing what you want to do [39:02] Lee said there is this joke that when people started at Laika, they would have to “pay their dues” and started off just sanding puppets, because someone had to, and then, after paying their dues they would move onto doing more art and creative projects. Sometimes you will do something you didn’t anticipate, and you may have to spend some time “paying your dues.” What you can expect to make at art fairs, comic cons, etc. [39:56] The estimated rates in one comicon: Early pro- $500-$1200 Mid pro $1200- $5000 Seasoned pro $6000-$30000 Will Terry Youtube, Comic Con Will, Lee, and Jake say that they could make a living off of just comic cons and art fairs but it would be a lot of work, and stress, and isn’t the lifestyle they want. By using different sources of income, you can create a sturdy “financial table”. Each leg is a different source of income that you have contributing to holding up the table of your finances; such as: art fairs, book publishing, freelance. If one leg “fall out” or is not producing income then you still have others to rely on. Whereas, if you only have one source of income, then if it falls, you will be in a lot more financial trouble. It’s great to have multiple legs to make sure your table is steady and strong. Working in one area or multiple areas [45:03] There are two types of artist. One, the artist that has reached a pinnacle in his or her career and and focuses in on one thing Or two, an artist that has to piece together different forms of income but still can make a living. Steps to take if you want to get into Comic Cons and Art fairs [50:47] Go to Comic Cons or art fairs Do research and development Understand setup and prints You can go and talk to people running successful booths and ask them a question or two but don’t sit there and take all of their time. Also, as a rule of etiquette: never get in the way of a sale. Be polite, and you and they will have a great experience talking. The Graphic Artists Guild Handbook: Pricing and Ethical Guidelines [52:40] This book talks about how to quote but most artist don’t love the guidelines. This could be the starting book. Helps to have a ballpark of where the price range might be. Find peers that you can go to chat about pricing. Will’s YouTube video: Pricing Question: What’s the best route for making a living as an illustrator? [58:31] Have a day job that pays the bills first then you can transition into illustration. Think about the need in the industry and how applicable is your talent in the industry. Understand your target market, budget, and rights. Have a day job. Make great art and also understand how things are sold. Piper Thibodeau worked a corporate job and did art on the side before she was able to make the jump and be an artist full time. Piper Thibodeau Question: What are some financial things freelancers forget to think about? [1:05:19] Freelance artists need to understand that what you make is not what you get. Consider the amount amount your agent will take, taxes (30%), health insurance, investments, savings, etc. Quicken Self Employed is a great tool for freelancers! Quick overview Dollar Cost Averaging [1:06:25] If you make 1 dollar what happens to that one dollar? How much to you pay for your agent? Studio space? Taxes? Then you can start to calculate based off of how many costs eat into 1 dollar, how much you will need to make to be financially comfortable. LINKS Svslearn.com Jake Parker: mrjakeparker.com.

"Do you what you love, it will lead to great things, but it better be good." Independent Designer & Illustrator Matt Stevens joins the show this week to discuss personal projects and how they can help us get better at our craft and possibly even lead to work from our dream clients. Since joining the freelance world, Matt has worked with brands such as Facebook, Pinterest, NBA, WWE, Dunkin Donuts, Nike and more. We discuss his transition from employment as an unknown Charlotte, North Carolina agency creative director to making the jump into independence and becoming "Internet famous". Matt also touches on the troubles of learning how to price for big brand work and how making side projects for fun lead to some of his dream clients such as Nike. We do a deep dive on his successfully funded Kickstarter project, the MAX100 Project, a book with 100 profile illustrations of the Nike Airmax 1 in different visual styles. A golden nugget is shared about a fantastic email that the renown Nike sneaker designer and VP of Nike Design, Tinker Hatfield sent Matt after his MAX100 Project. Finally, we talk entrepreneurship, The Designer Fund's Bridge Program and how creative people should found their own businesses and ideas.

Nov 15-21 2009 was the UK's first "Interfaith" week.  To mark this, Justin Brierley hosts a discussion on how faiths should relate to each other when it comes evangelism and missionary activity.  They discuss a document of Ten guidelines for witnessing to those of other faiths.  But does the document stifle freedom of speech?  Where should we draw the line between being honest and open and being offensive and demeaning in our interfaith encounters? Andrew Smith of Scripture Union is the director of "Youth Encounter" helping Christian young people live out their faith amongst Muslims.  He was involved in drafting 10 Ethical Guidelines for Christian and Muslim Witness in Britain. Jay Smith is a Christian evangelist to Muslims with a "no-holds-barred" approach.  He disagrees with aspects of the document and explains why. Dr Muhammad Al-Hussaini is fellow in Islamic studies and Jewish Muslim relations at Leo Baeck Rabbinical College.  He explains why he finds Jay Smith's style of evangelism harmful. Jay Lakhani is Director of the Hindu Academy and represents a Hindu perspective on the issue of evangelism and conversion.
