Do you have books in your home or workplace? And, perhaps more importantly, do you read any of them? Our guest today, Rainer Jozeps, says the presence of books is a symbol of your curiosity and your interest in engaging with the world (my words). However, that utterance was a small park of a bigger issue he drew attention to in In Review, namely, our state government's dropping of the ball (so to speak), when it comes to arts funding vs sports funding. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, thoughtful singer/songwriter, Lucas Day. You can navigate episodes using chapter markers in your podcast app. Not a fan of one segment?

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: Rainer Jozeps In The House With No Books 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No SA Drink Of The Week this episode. 00:02:32 Rainer Jozeps Books on bookshelves, news avoidance, ignorance, cocooning, and art making. These five topics were woven into an intriguing piece in InReview by Rainer Jozeps, entitled, South Australia Has Become Like A House With No Books. Rainer has been involved in Australia's arts industry for more 30 years, holding senior executive roles with the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust, Adelaide Festival Centre, West Australian Ballet, Australian Dance Theatre and Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Rainer, I'd like to use your article to give structure to this conversation, even though I'm anticipating that we will do an awful lot of colouring outside the lines. Your article begins by recounting your many visits to display homes to sate your curiosity about what was being offered by builders, noting that you'd leave with an empty feeling in the pit of your stomach because the homes had no provision for books. You then quote Greek philosopher, Cicero, who said “a house with no books is like a body with no soul”. I'd like to explore this a little because my initial reaction was to cheer your claim that “books inspire creativity, excite the imagination and stimulate the intellect”, but then I realised that I have a wall or two of books at home and many have not been touched for years. Do you think there's intrinsic value in “the having of books” or are you assuming that those with books actually read them? Does the presence of books create a more thoughtful headspace? David Olney noted that seeing books can spark conversation. Our books are on our phones – perhaps our screens could run slideshows? Russ Roberts from the Econtalk Podcast says if we read a book a week, we'll probably read about 2,500 books in our lifetime. That's not many. Are there any you believe are a must – either by title or genre? The next theme in your article is ignorance, defined as the lack of knowledge. You argue ignorance can be a chosen state (you realise other people know things you don't know), or it can simply be that you are unaware of there being things you don't know. You note that ethicists call the former “recognised ignorance” and the latter “primary ignorance”. This drew recollections of the Johari Window but also the toxic saturation of conspiracy theories that thrive in this Donal Trump-led era of Fake News. Setting aside mainstream news consumption for the moment, are you hopeful or pessimistic about our society's chances of shaking free from this almost ubiquitous, heavy veil of ignorance? I sense there are First Principles at plan here. No matter how deep the proliferation social media, if we all chose to take heed of Socrates' dictim, that “the unexamined life is not worth living,” we might create space between hearing things and reacting to them. Do we need meditation before education? I did talkback radio for a number of years and I was always dumbfounded by vocal callers who robustly stated their position on anything you put in front of them, within a millisecond. My intuition would suggest their arguments were flawed, but I always needed more time and openness from them to investigate what their beliefs were based on. Needless to say, they were never open to that. Have you mixed with such people. Have you developed any strategies, not to trick them, but to engage them in reflection? And how important is it to actually challenge bad, stereotypical ideas? I ask this because psychologist and writer Adam Mastroianni has eloquently argued on Econtalk that, “our minds are like the keep of a castle protecting our deepest held values and beliefs from even the most skilled attacks. The only problem with this design for self-preservation is that it also can keep out wisdom that might be both useful and true.” He says there is little to do to change people's minds; you can't access our brains through our ears. Your thoughts? The third theme is the link between ignorance and “news avoidance”. What is news avoidance and what do we know about it? I am a former journalist and I get news from a glance through the ABC app, a longer dwell time on the Al Jazeera app, occasional reads of the Ukraine independent app which I subscrib to, Zaborona, and the In Daily newsletter when I see it. That keeps me abreast of most timely stories but for “colour, as I confessed to Peter Greste, I now get my news “sense” from news satire shows like The Bugle, Mad As Hell (when it was on, even though writer David M Green says they didn't think they were fulfilling such an important role), and comedic articles by The Chaser. By being prepared to describe the context of a story and then shout convincingly that the emperor has no clothes, they keep tabs on those in power. How would you define me on the news consumer to news avoider continuum? And where do you sit? The fourth estate has abdicated its responsibility. Peter Greste shared first hand how newsroom editors measure “success” by likes, instead of the important measure of editorial value. Your thoughts? The fourth theme is cocooning and I confess, I might be in that category. I quote: “Cocooning” is a middle-class phenomenon coined by US futurist Faith Popcorn, who predicted large swathes of the community would, in fear of an ever-changing outside world, equip their residences with entertainment rooms, streaming services, security systems and perimeter walls, and utilise ever more home delivery services. And now we want to work from home! What's wrong with this picture? I have worked from home for almost 20 years and I do everything I can to avoid driving in peak hour, if at all. I was in LA a week or two before Covid and the multi-lane highways were a non-stop channel of filth and waste and exhaust. Come Covid, they became almost deserted and peaceful, and air quality improved. Are there not good things about working from home? Going out necessitates a place to congregate with others and bars, cafes, and restaurants typically fill that need. But in an article in 2020, you lamented the noisy architecture of our eateries, where you have to shout to be heard. A client and friend of mine, Laura Drexler, has started a site called, Ambient Menu, where people can review eateries on their level of noise. Is this the other half of the deadly duo strangling social cohesion; crappy, selfish, dumbed down media and news, coupled with venues that encourage consumption and monosylabic conversations? The final theme in your article is art making. You lament our State's reduction in art funding, especially compared to its increased funding of sporting events. I quote: “The arts in South Australia are woefully underfunded relative to other states. From 2017-2022, states and territories cumulatively increased arts funding by 22 per cent, while SA was the only state to head in the opposite direction, reducing funding by 9 per cent over the same period.” I think we can accept the funding figures as fact, so let's look at your underlying reason for frustration here, you state: Our civic life needs thriving cultural institutions to counter ignorance and intolerance. How is that so? I have seen some wonderful, thought-provoking theatre that had potential to counter ignorance and intolerance, but it it seen by a select few who can afford $50+ a ticket and who are primarily people from the chattering, enlightened classes who are already doing their best to stay informed and engaged. What is the value of our State Theatre putting on worthy pieces, society-improving pieces, if only the tiniest morsel of the community can see them? At the end of every episode since 2013, we have said goodnight to Don Dunstan, to honour his legacy as a Premier who stirred things up and got our kitchen cooking (literally). In a stirring piece you wrote in 2o16, Inauthentic “vibrancy” is damaging SA's shrinking arts sector, you lamented then Premier Jay Weatherill's dropping of the ball (so to speak) in reducing arts funding. There are many buzzwords in art but especially in politics and “vibrancy” is one, along with “activation”. What have you noticed about governnment support for the arts from Weatherill to Marshall to Malinauskas? Some of the events receiving money at the moment, most likely at the expense of arts, include Liv Golf, the AFL's Gather Round, and bidding for next year's Netball grand final. Do you think these events are intrinsically unworthy of funding? Our guest, next week, for our 10th birthday episode is New Zealander, Owen Eastwood, who has written a beautiful book about Belonging, drawing on many principles and insights of his Maori culture. He has noted that the communal act of following a team and “being there” every week is actually good for the spirit and the soul. Have you ever partaken in such a thing as “following a team”? And is there something from this dynamic that we can learn from in The Arts? I am part of a netball family. My wife coaches three teams and both my daughters play in two teams apiece. It has a strong web of grassroots involvement and is a crucial part of holding many regional communities together. Could there ever be an Arts alternative? Your words to our government and us? 00:53:22 Musical Pilgrimage Our featured song this episode is Intuition by Lucas Day.

A SEAT at THE TABLE: Leadership, Innovation & Vision for a New Era
After being heralded as the next digital hotspot, the Metaverse plummeted out of favor - in tandem with the fate of its parent company, Meta. Brands that were tripping over each other to grab a space in this new space suddenly started to make a hasty exit.The post-covid world was retuning to stores, people wanted experiences - in real life - and were making the internet a part of their lives rather then the center of their lives.However despite the overall trend of moving back to the physical world, there might just be some unique opportunities for brands in the Metaverse - if they know what they are and how to capitalize on them.Meet Kate Newlin, a renowned business and brand strategist with a keen sense of what the future might look like, in part due to her previous tenure as managing director of Faith Popcorn's BrainReserve.I'm Jane Singer and welcome back to a Seat at The Table where we expand our vision of the opportunities and possibilities in today's fast moving, global business world by speaking with the people who are making things happen.Today Kate Newlin will be discussing what she sees as massive brand opportunities in the Metaverse that most companies are overlooking.

Will you have your dream occupation? Will you run out of money?”“Entertainment is going to be very, very important. I know it's adorable that we go to a movie theater but we can probably watch something that's on a lens in our eye. We're going to be able to go to the Metaverse with a lens that's in our eye.” “There may be time travel before we have a flying car. We may be able to move our molecules through space before we have a flying car. It's much more efficient.” “If somebody else can do it as well as you can do it, let them do it… And then you can either make it a little better, make it a little different, or do something else that they can't do.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.

When it comes to improving sales, all it might take to reach your goals is a shift in mindset. In today's episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by Justin Cunningham to learn how any sales professional can stand out, transform, and optimize their mindset for better performance. You won't be able to sell until you believe you can sell. Adjust your beliefs. Try integrating a value-based reframe - People will form their beliefs after an experience. During your next relationship or interaction, you'll subconsciously look for those same affirming beliefs to support your existing notion. Decide that you want something better and find evidence to support that new belief. Set yourself apart to win larger-scale accounts: Learn what they're passionate about and what drives their bottom line to integrate a plan framed directly to them. A gatekeeper will pass individualized materials and information to a decision-maker rather than a mass-sent supply of information. Don't act like an employee; act like a business partner. When you focus on creating unique connections, relationships, and moments with others, you'll realize you're far more critical than a cog in the business machine. If you try something new, what's the worst that can happen? Propose new growth ideas and ways to improve your organization; if that is considered negative, it likely isn't the best environment for you. How leadership empowers their teams: Most people are completely underutilized. People are motivated by many different things, and determining your team's perspectives and mindset can be a powerful way to unify positions toward a common goal. Ask yourself and your team if your current actions are contributing to the company goal. If not, change your behavior. Justin's final takeaway? Believe that your radical insights are worth sharing. Don't be afraid to tell your ideas to those around you. Read Clicking by Faith Popcorn for more ideas about this topic, and visit ishiftresults.com to connect and interact with Justin.

This week's guest is the futurist Faith Popcorn. This is the full conversation we recorded a few weeks ago, some of which we included in our first episode of the year - ‘How Will The Best Leaders Lead In 2022.' Faith is the founder of the BrainReserve and she and her team are hired to tell companies and industries what the future looks like. Most people like the illusion of the status quo. The here and now is safe and warm and predicting a future filled with disruption upsets companies and their leaders who are counting on more of the same to get them to next year. The world has never worked like that. And as we approach the 24th month of the new society that we are building, I'm consistently struck by how many people still trying to use the past as the reference point for the future. The cost of entry to becoming a leader is imagination. The weekly fee for membership in the club of great leaders is the capacity and willingness to keep seeking out the seemingly impossible and then finding a way to make it part of the expected. And if you think I'm asking too much, consider this, courtesy of Faith's Twitter feed last week. Over the last 200 years, the average lifespan of our species has tripled. What makes any of us sure that won't happen again?
Faith Popcorn founded her BrainReserve (FPBR), the futurist marketing consultancy, in 1974. The New York Times has called her “The Trend Oracle," Fortune Magazine named her “The Nostradamus of Marketing," and she is recognized globally as the original and foremost Futurist. She has identified such sweeping societal movements as “Cocooning,“ “SOS,” “AtmosFear,“ “Anchoring,“ “99 Lives" and “Vigilante Consumer." As the key strategist for Faith Popcorn's BrainReserve, Faith and her esteemed team apply their insights to cultural and business Trend Truths, opening the vision of their clients, repositioning their brands/companies, developing new models and innovating for sustainable growth. She is a trusted advisor to the CEOs of The Fortune 200 including such companies as American Express, Apple, Campbell's Soup, Citigroup, Chipotle, Colgate, Comcast, among many others. With a documented 95% accuracy rate, Faith predicted the demand for fresh foods, home delivery, telemedicine, enhanced entertainment and home schooling, as well as capturing the spiritual tenor of the millennium with Cocooning and its impact on COVID-culture. Additionally, she predicted the rise of Social Media. Faith is also the best-selling author of four books: The Popcorn Report, Clicking, EVEolution, Dictionary of the Future and the Upcoming, and Popcorn Report 2030: A Leap of Faith. In this podcast she shares: What strategists often get wrong in attempting to predict the future Her view on the future of the Metaverse and Non-fungible tokens (or NFTs) Whether we are ever going to go back to work Why employees hold so much bargaining power now and how that will change how companies compete__________________________________________________________________________________________" I think the greatest error that people make about the future is trying to extrapolate what's going to happen from what did happen from the past.

Faith Popcorn is a futurist. To many of us she is the original and still the best. She told Kodak about digital imagery, Ford about electric cars and Coke about bottled water before any of them existed. In the 1980s she told P&G that everything would be home delivered. In every case they either laughed or threw her out of the room. That’s the price of forecasting change. The ability to see the future is, by definition an uncertain science. No matter how often you are right, you will be wrong far more often. And yet it is the what-ifs that we get remembered for. The what-ifs that change lives. Life is short. And unpredictable. And we have much less control over it than we think. Leadership is an opportunity to make a difference while we’re here. Developing your appetite for the unlikely and redefining your view of the impossible make you an infinitely better leader of any business that depends on creative thinking and innovation. What do you think will definitely not happen over the next five years? And are you sure?

Cathy talks with Kim Bates, Chief Futurist at Faith Popcorn's BrainReserve about how marketing is changing and how marketers will need to reach consumers via robots in the near future. Kim is one of the first people to coin the term Business To Robot To Consumer (B2R2C). Cathy and Kim also discuss a Forbes article they wrote in partnership where they explore what a society focused on immunity and protection of the physical body, mind, spirit, & environment could look like. Are we entering a new era of prophylactic culture?
In a Jolty world – who doesn’t want their Blankie? Rituals and routines create comfort and structure. Babies and children are possessed by the need for ritual because they confront a world they often can’t grasp or control. They are victims of circumstance and lack agency or autonomy. Sound familiar? The virus has reduced us to emotional children with adult minds. “Where’s my Blankie” is a global psychological cry. Having lost the familiar rituals of home, office and school – the simple pleasure of the coffee shop or an after-work drink – we rush to establish new ones: we’re cooking, we’re gardening, we’re setting up virtual dinners, we’re downloading meditation apps. We’re establishing new practices for family time. We’re even taking this literally and buying weighted blankets for the comfort they bring. There are new rituals for mourning in a time of social distancing. And of course, children are struggling as their daily routines have vanished. In this podcast, hosts Faith Popcorn and Adam Hanft along with guests Dr. Harold Koplewicz and Doug Conant, will explore the business, social and cultural impact of the loss of our established rituals and the creation of new ones. As the world slowly normalizes, which of our new blankie-behaviors will stick, which prior practices will we return to, what even newer rituals will be created? And how will the unconscious consumers’ cry for their blankies create new marketing opportunities and challenges for legacy brands that inspire comfort and for new brands that need to inspire it?

Unlike just about any other industry, restaurants are truly a sum of its parts. Each part needing to fit flawlessly into the others to create the “thing” that draws guests to it and keeps them connected to it for years and sometimes decades. Jim Smart has learned over the years that when creating a restaurant, a hundred things need to go right and another hundred need to go perfectly. Now in the midst of the restaurant industry re-boot as the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be coming under some sort of control, restaurant designers are being tasked with the job of making plexi-glass look and feel sexy among other challenging assignments. The conditions may be changing, the goal remains to make a place look and feel right for the operator and the guests. Here are some highlights of our conversation; Cocooning, a concept first noted by Faith Popcorn is becoming an important element in restaurant design and re-fit post pandemic.

#Cocooning is staying inside one's home, insulated from perceived danger, instead of going out. The term was coined in 1981 by Faith Popcorn, a trend forecaster and marketing consultant. Wikipedia The Government has said all those who are over 70 or who are extremely medically vulnerable should "cocoon" for the next two weeks. But what does that actually mean? Essentially, people in these two categories should not leave their homes at all. If you are in these categories you should not even go to the shops and you should not leave your home or garden to exercise. This is for your own protection. You should have no interaction or minimal interaction with other people. The Government advises that you should not attend any gathering at all - including religious services and gatherings in family homes. This applies to anyone over 70 even if you're currently fit and well, or anyone at all who is "extremely medically vulnerable". -says RTE/news Saturday, 28 Mar 2020 13:05 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

En fait,Le cocooning, coconnage ou coucounage est un terme inventé en 1987 par la consultante en marketing et prévisionniste de tendances autoproclamée Faith Popcorn pour prédire les tendances de la décennie à venir. Elle désigne l'attitude consistant à se trouver si bien chez soi qu'on n'est guère poussé à en sortir excepté pour les nécessités vitales. L'idée est assez proche de ce que l'on nomme en français plus classique un comportement « casanier » (de casa, « maison »). Par conséquent :La Folie des grandeurs est un film franco-hispano-italo-allemand réalisé par Gérard Oury, sorti en 1971.Très librement adapté de Ruy Blas de Victor Hugo, le film raconte, dans l'Espagne du siècle, les mésaventures de l'ignoble don Salluste, cupide et hypocrite ministre des Finances du roi d'Espagne, qui, après avoir été déchu, tente à tout prix de retrouver ses fonctions et sa richesse, en manipulant son ancien valet Blaze. Et donc, par élimination :http://kulturkonfitur.fr/ ou bien https://podcastorama.lepodcast.fr/ et là on est bien...hein ?Qu'on est bien ?là...

Today, the most successful businesses and entrepreneurs thrive through connectivity, socialization, and sharing. It is an age of WE-Commerce, an economy centered on the power of “we” instead of “me,” focused on the needs of the many over the few. On-demand, sharing economy, gig economy, collaborative consumption - whatever the latest term, there's a great economic shift happening, and consequently a need to transform and overhaul our business models in order to thrive and keep up with the times. We were joined on the show by author and CEO Billee Howard. Billee Howard is based in New York and is founder and chief engagement officer of Brandthropologie, and president of Mojo Risin Studios. She also founded Eleven, a national women's network with the mantra ‘United We Rise United We Stand, and The House of We dedicated to the new sharing economy. Howard has been guiding companies to produce, envision, innovate, and create passionate dialogues and has had the privilege of working with many great leaders and brands including Jeffrey Katzenberg, Dreamworks Animation, Faith Popcorn, PepsiCo, Samsung, FastCompany, Boeing, Warby Parker among others.

America, I think, is not a place. If another people lived here, the geography would be the same but it would not be our nation. America, I think, is not a government. Our pendulum swings from one extreme to the other and our politics are not unique. America, I think, is not an economy. Free markets exist in other nations and we hold no patent on capitalism. America is a people, an outlook and a family. (A dysfunctional family, yes, but aren't they all?) Eighty-three years ago the American son was a swaggering youth with glinting eye, proud of his muscle and chin held high. Mark Twain wrote about his American strut in a 1926 letter from Europe to President Calvin Coolidge: “We, unfortunately, don't make a good impression collectively… There ought to be a law prohibiting over three Americans going anywhere abroad together.” Saul Bellow, in his Adventures of Augie March, gave our American boy a voice during the Great Depression: “I am an American, Chicago born – Chicago, that somber city – and go at things as I have taught myself, freestyle, and will make a record in my own way: first to knock, first admitted; sometimes an innocent knock, sometimes a not so innocent.” America. Land of Opportunity. A chicken in every pot and a car in every driveway. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Hard work never killed anybody. Cream rises to the top. Second place is the first loser. You can do it. And we did. “Leaders of the free world, liberators of the oppressed,” we're less than 5 percent of the world's population yet consume 26 percent of its energy and 30 percent of its resources. A few years later Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of that ocean-crossing hero, began to worry that things were getting out of balance: “America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future.” John Steinbeck echoed Anne's words. “Then there is the kind of Christmas with presents piled high, the gifts of guilty parents as bribes because they have nothing else to give. The wrappings are ripped off and the presents are thrown down and at the end the child says – ‘Is that all?' Well it seems to me that America now is like that second kind of Christmas. Having too many THINGS they spend their hours and money on the couch searching for a soul. A strange species we are. We can stand anything God and Nature can throw at us save only plenty. If I wanted to destroy a nation, I would give it too much and I would have it on its knees, miserable, greedy and sick.” John Steinbeck was immediately accused of being a Communist sympathizer. America didn't listen to Anne or John but became more intense in the pursuit of whatever it was we were chasing. “Go to college. Get good grades. Go to college. Rise to the top. Go to college. Enjoy the good life.” Eighteen years ago Faith Popcorn wrote in her famous Popcorn Report, “The trouble in corporate America is that too many people with too much power live in a box (their home), then travel the same road every day to another box (their office).” Charles Osgood spotlighted this disconnection on CBS Sunday Morning, March 30, 2008, “The average urban dwelling American sees up to 5,000 advertising 'messages' –from T-shirts to billboards – every day. That compares with 2,000 thirty years ago.” [Source: Yankelovich, Inc.] Wow. No wonder we've become a nation of consumers. With 5,000 messages hammering us every day, we hardly have time to think about anything else. And now it's 2009. The whole planet waits to see whether America has the strength, the wit and the will to correct our mistakes. They wait because the economy of the world depends on whether we're able to buy the stuff they need to sell us. The solution appears to be that the world needs https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=77 (better ad writers.) Roy H. Williams
