This episode within the Forms of the Shadow podcast series is dedicated to Lee Kit and his site-specific installation In Broad Daylight (2024). For Lee, whose practice is rooted in painting, the space has become a canvas, and the creation of the work a process of editing the space and himself, similar to the editing of the videos on view. His installations often create an intimate, almost meditative atmosphere with a strong emotional impact. In this way, he succeeds in translating the essence of painting into new artistic forms, creating a fluid experience between image and space.

The 5th annual Susquehanna Folk Festival returns August 9 and will run until August 11. The festival will take place at the Appell Center in downtown York, Pa for a weekend of music, dancing, family activities and more. Peter Winter Lee is the Executive Director of the Susquehanna Folk Music Society. He says the music society is South Central Pennsylvania's grassroots for home and traditional folk music. For Lee, folk music has always been a part of his life. “I play in a Celtic Scottish Americana band with my siblings called seasons, and that's how I really became a part of the folk music scene in central Pennsylvania, playing in that band for close to two decades now.” The artists at the festival will include Cape Breton fiddle, Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy, Texas swing alchemists Hot Club of Cowtown and so many more. This year, the Susquehanna Folk Music Society will be in downtown York, offering programming in both The Studio and The Capitol Theatre of the Appell Center for Performing Arts. “I would encourage anyone to try the festival just to experience different forms of music and, you know, find that you might absolutely love Brazilian drumming or something like that. And just it's an amazing weekend of just an utterly electric musical experience.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's behind the horrifying phenomenon of fish kills in Australian inland waterways? Join us as we unearth the many fish kills that have taken place recently with Prof. Lee Baumgartner – the leading scientists who is involved in the government enquiry investigating the events. Throughout the episode, Lee sheds light on the environmental culprits behind these disasters, stressing the importance of responsible river management going forward. From dissecting blackwater events, hydrology, bacteria and algae, river infrastructure and flow, the ‘perfect storm' that leads to a fish kill is discussed so you can better understand what is happening to our native fish throughout the Murray-Darling Basin. Prof. Lee Baumgartner Prof. Lee Baumgardner stands as a revered figure in the realm of applied research, best known for his groundbreaking contributions to the intricate interplay of food, water, and energy. His work is particularly pivotal in regions where water serves as a lifeline for sustenance and economic activities, playing a crucial role in irrigation and hydropower. Lee directs his focus to communities reliant on fish, a cornerstone of biodiversity, nutrition, and income. However, these aquatic populations face a dangerous decline due to extensive river development, prompting Lee's active involvement in government inquiries into fish kills. Lee Baumgardner is no stranger to the corridors of power, having contributed to parliamentary inquiries and been appointed to prime ministerial advisory panels. His outreach extends to international and national media, where he tirelessly promotes the cause of healthy rivers. A recipient of prestigious awards, including the NSW Crawford Medal, Lee holds a Ph.D. in applied ecology from the University of Canberra (2005). Having only recently completed his commitments on the government panel enquiring into the fish kills, Lee offers insight into how environmental enquiries work. The transparency, which is important for the rec fishing community gaining trust in our respective state fisheries managements, leads the discussion to looking below the surface at what actually happened in the 2018 and 2023 fish kills. Collaborating with a diverse spectrum of professionals—engineers, functional ecologists, social scientists, policy experts, and water professionals—Lee addresses the multifaceted challenges confronting these communities. Passionate about nurturing healthy rivers, his mantra, "A healthy river is an economic and environmental engine," encapsulates the essence of his recent research and advocacy. Beyond the realms of science and advocacy, Lee reveals a more personal facet—a passionate fisherman with a love for Port Phillip and Corio Bay. Whether chasing snapper, whiting, or flathead, he finds solace in the waters, embodying a harmonious connection between his professional pursuits and personal pleasures. Understanding Fish Kills Fish kills are complicated. Understanding them requires dissection of blackwater events, hydrology, stratification, bacteria and algae, river infrastructure and flow. Interestingly, both the 2018 and 2023 events were caused from different catalysts. As Lee explains on the episode, both fish kills were due to a lack of oxygen, yet how we came to that was due to different preceding weather events. In looking beneath the surface at these ‘environmental culprits', Lee dives into the science behind blackwater events and breaks down this complex phenomenon. He explains how these occurrences, exacerbated by specific environmental conditions such as flood and drought, lead to drastic reductions in water quality and oxygen levels, culminating in mass fish deaths. Importantly, Lee highlights that blackwater alone is not the culprit for fish kills. A key component in this story is the process of stratification – the turning of water in a weir pool. As explained by Lee, the water at weir 32 in Menindee throughout 2018 and 2023 was divided into two layers; one warm layer full of algae, and one starved of oxygen. In both events, fish could tolerate the conditions in the bottom layer, before the water turned and conditions became unbearable. The discussion takes a historical turn, examining how changes in river management practices over the years have contributed to this current crisis. Lee underscores the absence of large-scale fish kills in Australia's history, contrasting it against recent events driven by human intervention. Australian rivers have always faced droughts and floods, but what has changed? In comparing to other countries, Lee explains that fish kills are natural in places like Europe and the Americas, however the ones we see in Australia is purely due to how humans have manipulated the rivers. In a unique approach, Lee discusses how studying the ear bones of dead fish offers insights into their age, life history and the water conditions they experienced. This analysis helps unravel the broader implications of fish kills and the interconnectedness of different parts of the river system. Interestingly, Lee finds a positive news story to come from these events. The episode doesn't just highlight problems; it also explores potential solutions. Lee talks about the importance of early warning systems, technology like aerators and bubblers, and the need for strategic fish relocation to prevent future fish kills. For Lee, this is one the major recommendations he made to the government enquiry this year. The conversation culminates in a compelling call to action. Lee emphasizes the need for community involvement, policy change, and continued scientific research to safeguard the health of Australia's rivers and aquatic life for future generations.
Activation and discretion warning: this episode contains explicit and graphic descriptions of sexual assault and rape. Caution and action are required. This episode is not for children. Please use extreme discretion in listening to this episode and if you are activated or triggered and need help, call the national sexual assault telephone hotline at 1-800.656.hope; that's 1-800-656-4673. When you're ten years old, and you wake up to having your genitals fondled by your own father, your childhood is demolished, and your life is instantly and forever changed. The hell of being the sexual and physical assault target of someone who is supposed to love and care for you, and who you thought you were able to trust, has devastating effects that impact every area of a child's everyday life…and the devastation lasts until there is a healing catalyst. Even then, the devastation doesn't go away overnight…sometimes, not at all. For Lee, his healing finally started twenty years after his sexual victimization ended, when he read Dr. Bessel van der Kolk's book, The Body Keeps the Score. But even now, ten years after Lee began his healing journey, Lee still feels the score that his body holds from the malevolent and torturous assault his father inflicted on him. And the impact is multifaceted, too. From horrific memories, to devastating personal relationships with girlfriends, his mother, and others, to financial impacts, and even feelings of anxiety and fear now, while sitting in his own bedroom. It will most likely impact Lee for the rest of his life. But it's not all horrific. Lee has his friends, his dreams and goals, and his photography business, all of which help Lee focus on the beauty of life. His picture taking is a particularly strong aspect of his healing. It takes him to glamorous, interesting, and challenging locations all over the world, provides him with new and fascinating friends, amazing photography targets, and the potential of financial opportunity. And his picture-taking abilities are exquisite. So much so in fact, that he has been invited to display his work at a prestigious, solo, three-month exhibit starting on December 9th of this year, and going through March 9th of 2024. The Oldham Gallery will feature Lee's work. In a recent publication, the gallery boasted of Lee's work this way: Oldham-born Lee Cooper has travelled the world capturing the mundane snippets of life in all their glory and wonder, through his photography. From Blackpool to Las Vegas, his work focuses on the moments of existential loneliness in the humdrum moments of life in a societal system that appears to be crumbling away. If you're anywhere near Oldham, England Dec. 9th thru March 9th, make the well-worth-it effort to go see Lee's exhibit. Be sure to tune in next week for Part 2 of Lee's story. It's the inspirational conclusion to this powerful, meaningful expression of Lee's ability to overcome the horrors he endured.

“The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill” is a podcast produced by Christianity Today and it has gone viral in popularity. What can we, as church planters and pastors, learn from listening to this story of a popular Seattle church exploding in growth, only to have it all fall apart to leave so many devastated? You don't have to listen to that podcast first, before gleaning some wisdom from this episode of Unfiltered. It's not uncommon for church planters to wrestle with their influence. Let's talk about it. 0:22 Lee introduces the conversation about the podcast The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill that has grown in popularity in the past year.1:17 Lee says the podcast has been a big conversation topic within the church and would like to process it from a listener's side.1:57 Lee asks Danny what stood out to him as he listened to The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill.2:15 Danny states that Mark Driscoll, the pastor at the center of the Mars Hill story, was influential from afar in his own life. 2:36 Danny talks about how his perspective of the story changed from the beginning to the middle. He found the story both disheartening and convicting. 3:25 Lee asks Danny to unpack that statement.3:26 Danny explains that it was disheartening to hear what was happening behind the scenes at Mars Hill Church. 3:56 The convicting part of the story for Danny was seeing some tendencies of pride in himself and other leaders.4:30 As Danny works with church planters, the very things he's looking for are what made Mark Driscoll a successful church planter. But those characteristics can also be destructive, when left unchecked.4:55 Danny asks Lee what he thought of the podcast.5:09 Lee thinks it's sobering that there's always a dark side to church planters' leadership styles.5:30 Lee appreciated Christianity Today's level of in-depth journalism when it came to hearing past employees' side of the story.5:54 Lee gives the reminder that as people in authority in church leadership, there's a responsibility to steward the influence God has given.6:56 Another reaction Lee had to the podcast were moments when he cringed over some of the behind-the-scenes behavior and wondered how much “dirty laundry” should be aired when taking a deep dive into a church's story.7:38 Danny finds it interesting that this podcast struck a chord not only with church leaders, but with church attenders. He has some concerns that people will have a fear of church leadership and will want to get rid of it entirely. 8:42 Acts 29 is a ministry that is discussed at length in The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. Danny talks about how the ministry has changed since Mark Driscoll left Mars Hill Church and it is not the same ministry it was in years past.9:29 Danny concludes that after listening to the podcast, he walked away realizing everyone is messed up and it's only through God that the church continues to grow and thrive.9:50 For Lee, listening to the podcast brought his understanding of the dangers of celebrity for pastors to another level.10:50 Lee encourages church planters to think about why they're doing ministry in the first place. Remembering the importance of helping people follow Jesus can keep pride at bay.11:17 Danny talks about the role culture and social media has in the fall of celebrity pastors.12:07 Lee appreciates how the podcast attempted to point out the flaws of some of the wrong things church planters pursue when going into ministry.13:13 Lee asks Danny what he would say to those who haven't listened to the podcast.13:17 Danny encourages Unfiltered listeners to check out The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast. And as they listen, they should ask God to convict them and learn from the mistakes of others.13:41 Lee thinks a church planter understanding their influence is a journey they always need to wrestle with and think about their intentions.

Maurice “Victorious” Lee was raised in Sacramento until the age of 15. Lee learned that he needed to fight to survive in his environment. With his father in prison and growing up with 10 siblings, Lee's mother pushed him into street fighting at just five years old. The neighborhood placed their bets and Lee collected wins every time. His raw talent as a fighter helped him deal with more than what he went up against on the streets. Lee's mother drifted in and out of jail as she continuously battled with her personal challenges in life. He spent most of his childhood being shuffled around from one foster home to another. When Lee was eleven years old, he faced a tragic incident that could have been fatal for him and his brother. Lee was shot 7 times and was left with injuries so severe that he had to wear a special helmet to reshape his head. His brother was blinded for over a year because of the attack. There are still bullet fragments lodged in Lee's head and face—a constant reminder of his troubled past. He is living proof that whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. If Lee could be described in just one word, that word would be “ambitious.” There's nothing that he can't overcome in the ring that's any worse than the adversity he's faced in his personal life. Whenever he looks back to where he started and where he is now, he becomes restless and determined to continue climbing his way to the top. For Lee, there is no going back. There's only now, and what the future holds. NEXT STEPS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST: 1. Instagram - mauricevictoriouslee. 2. Twitter – ambitious_lee.

Our guest today is Lee Yoder, a multifamily investor and podcaster. In this episode, we dive deep into buying your first multifamily property. Lee shares his 5 steps to success in your first deal, common mistakes and how to avoid them, and why multifamily is the best way to reach true freedom in your life. If you're ready to take the leap into multifamily investing then don't miss out on this episode! Learn more about Lee Yoder and his journey at reiclarity.com! “At the beginning of your journey, ask yourself these questions - Could I do my job part-time? Could I free up some time to do this as a side hustle?” 03:55 Lee started his career as a physical therapist and later worked in a startup company. Here, he realized that he was passionate about numbers, business, and building companies, so he turned to real estate. Lee got into real estate by flipping a single-family property. He soon bought a duplex, then a 16-unit, and finally a 45-unit property. “The cap rate, what the owners are doing now, that's all how the property is performing right now. I'm much more concerned about how's the property gonna fare in the future. “ 08:22 Lee's 5 steps to successfully purchasing your first multifamily property: Getting educated: Books, podcasts, and courses are helpful but you can learn a lot from a flip too. Networking: Be active in your community, join your local RIA, or start a podcast. Understand underwriting: Practice running the numbers 3-5 times a week. Start building your team: Find a good property manager and get a good lender or mortgage broker. Networking can also help you with that. Start making offers: Put your knowledge into action. There are ways to get out of an offer, so don't be afraid to take this last step. Focus on the step that is ahead of you and always move forward. By the time you reach step 5, it's not going to look that scary. The hardest deal is always the first one, so whatever you can do to get over the hump is worth it. Lee talks about mistakes he made along the way and how to resolve them. According to him, always focus on networking and getting good referrals on the people you'd like to work with. Also, make sure you raise more money than you think you'll need because you don't want to go back to investors. “I'm not saying that everybody needs to go full-time in real estate, but you can create passive income with it and really change your life. “ 37:48 At the end of the episode, Lee picks an action step from the REI Clarity Framework that is the most valuable for him. This is the “Forecast Your Future”. Lee loves real estate investing because he can work hard if he wants to but his work is very flexible. This gives him more time to spend with his family. For Lee, forecasting the future means that he can create freedom for himself and his family and create a better future.

Lee Lawrence was 11 years old when his mother, Cherry Groce, was shot during a police raid on their family home in Brixton, south London. The police had been looking for Lee's brother, Michael, who didn't live there at the time. The shooting sparked an uprising in Brixton – where tensions were already high between the many black residents and the overwhelmingly white police - and the event became known as the 1985 Brixton Riots. The police officer who shot Cherry said it was an accident and was acquitted of malicious shooting. For Lee and his family the impact of the incident was devastating - his mother was left paralysed from the waist down and Lee became her carer for the next 26 years. After Cherry died in 2011, he continued to fight for justice for her. Lee has founded an organisation in her memory called the Cherry Groce Foundation, which supports people with mobility issues. A memorial to his mum is about to be unveiled in Brixton. The book Lee has published about his family's experience is called The Louder I Will Sing.

However, the social media landscape provides individuals with their personal megaphone to the world. As most are aware, there are numerous benefits this provides, such as engaging directly with an audience. However, these benefits have to be balanced with a price, namely personal data and professional boundaries. Traditionally, Medical Practitioners, Doctors, and Specialists have approached social media cautiously. We discuss the pros and cons of medical practitioners accessing/using social media with Lee Aase, Director, Mayo Clinic Social Media Network and Mayo Clinic's Social & Digital Innovation team. For Lee, he has been working in the social medial field for over twenty years from politics to medical institutions. We discuss what information is being collected, how that can be used, and the best way Doctors can use social media. GUEST INTERVIEW Lee Aase Director, Mayo Clinic Social Media Network Aase.lee@mayo.edu | @LeeAase Lee Aase is director of the Mayo Clinic Social Media Network, which provides training resources, educational and networking events and a collaboration platform for health care professionals who want to safely and effectively apply social and digital strategies to fight disease, promote health and improve health care. Lee also leads Mayo Clinic's Social & Digital Innovation team, which manages Mayo Clinic's presence on general purpose social networks like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter as well as its owned blog and community platform. Key sites include Mayo Clinic Connect, an online patient community, Mayo Clinic News Network, and Sharing Mayo Clinic, a patient stories blog. Prior to joining Mayo Clinic in 2000, Lee spent more than a decade in political and government communications at the local, state and federal level. He was elected to Mayo Clinic's Voting Staff in 2016. In 2018 he received VitalSmarts certification as a trainer in the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology for stress-free productivity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Lu Xun again? Really? Yes, really. But we still disagree. For Rob, the 1920's were Lu Xun's definitive decade. For Lee, it was the era of Ding Ling, who fired the opening salvo in what would become a century of powerful, innovative female writers.

Hello friends, and welcome to Episode 20 of Fully Automated, an Occupy IR Theory podcast. Its January 4, 2020, and kicking off our fourth season of the show 2020 with two episodes on the recent elections in the UK. In this episode, we are joined by a former guest, Lee Jones, Reader in International Politics at Queen Mary, University of London, who is also a contributor at the blog, The Full Brexit. In the next episode, which should be posting sometime in the next few days, we’ll have Owen Worth, of the University of Limerick. Now, both these guests have been on before and, as you’ll see, they have slightly different explanations not only about what happened in the UK election, but about where the left goes from here. But today we get the ball rolling with Lee Jones. The last time you heard him on this show was in Episode 14, in December 2018. We recorded that episode right after the European Council had agreed to the terms of Prime Minister Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement. Its hard to imagine that, a year later, after countless delays, Britain is actually about to leave the European Union! The UK election took place on December 12, just before Christmas. The results were one of the worst ever for the British Labour Party and so, as we might expect, there have been a lot of “what happened” pieces circulating in the last couple weeks. But one of the more prominent explanations circulating is that the result was kind of a “revenge of the boomers” scenario, or the triumph of British nationalism, or what some even call “nativism.” On the night of the election, for example, Paul Mason tweeted that the results represent “a victory of the old over the young, racists over people of colour, selfishness over the planet.” In this episode, you’re going to hear Lee Jones repudiate that argument in no uncertain terms. As he argued in a recent blog post on The Full Brexit, the results of the election are intimately connected to the politics of Brexit, which itself can’t be understood unless we first have a grasp on the strange tragedy of the British left. In the episode, we’re going to talk about the significance of the decision at the Labour Party’s 2019 annual conference, to support the call for a second referendum. For Lee, however, this decision was merely the latest in a long series of betrayals by the Labour Party of its working class base. This is a contestable argument, I should note, and in our next episode you’re going to hear Owen Worth push back on it, a little. For now though, Lee’s critical point is that this defeat was more a wake up call for the British left than a defeat of leftist ideals and principles. And, as we discuss towards the end of the show, there are lessons here for other leftist parties around the world, and especially for activists supporting the Bernie Sanders campaign in the United States.

GUEST BIO: Lee Byron is helping to lead web engineering at Robinhood having previously worked for Facebook for nearly ten years. He is also an open source contributor and was a co-creator of GraphQL whilst at Facebook, which is an open source data query and manipulation language for APIs. EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s show is Lee Byron. He spent the first 10 years of his career working at Facebook. While there he developed several new tools, mainly for mobile. His work at Facebook led to Lee co-creating GraphQL. In 2018, he left and joined Robinhood. There, he is helping to lead web engineering and fulfill the company’s mission of democratizing access to America’s financial services. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (1.03) – So Lee, can you expand on that brief introduction and tell us a little bit more about yourself? Lee explains that he spent 10 years at Facebook, where he started out as a data scientist. Eventually, becoming a product designer working on Facebook Mobile, then on Front End Engineering, this led to him co-creating GraphQL. Lee has now moved on to Robinhood helping them to democratize finance by solving some of their technical challenges. (2.04) Phil speculates that Lee must have seen a big difference between the cultures of Facebook and Robinhood. Lee agrees, but explains that there were also quite a few similarities. When he first joined Facebook there were only around 400 people working there. Right now Robinhood is a similar size, with around 250 people. Both companies are very product orientated. They both “lend trust to the team” and transparency levels are high. Facebook held weekly Q&A sessions where people like Mark Zuckerburg gave a roundup about the important things that were happening then took questions. Often, answering quite tough questions. A process that makes sure that the tough conversations are had, Robinhood does something similar. (4.06) – Phil asks Lee for a unique IT career tip. Lee says he always looks for the overlap between two different skill sets. When you do that, it is possible to find a way into something new and can begin to solve problems in that field. He has very little formal training. Instead, he learns by doing. Lee has progressed mostly by seeing a problem, finding the end of the thread and pulling on it. This process leads him through the underlying issues and pushes him to find a solution to each of them, which, eventually, solves the overall problem. Over time, he has learned to get past his feelings of being an imposter because he has no formal training. Lee now realizes that when he is working with people who are smarter than him, that is a good thing. He can still contribute and, importantly, learn from everyone else, at the same time. (5.54) – Lee is asked to share his worst career moment and what he learned from it. Lee said that while at Facebook he bet big on HTML and the web platform as a way to do mobile development. They built a mobile website version that had a higher level of functionality than the existing app did. The mobile website worked extremely well on touch devices on Android and iOS. All in all, they reasoned, the site was well received and worked. So, they doubled down on that way of doing things. When it was time to build the iOS and Android apps out they did it in a similar way. Basically, the apps were glorified web browsers loading pages. At the time, this seemed like the right approach. After all iOS had mobile Safari and Android had their own browser. It seemed logical that these would be developed over time and continues to get better. Unfortunately, the opposite happened they got buggier. As a result, the functionality of the mobile site lagged further and further behind the desktop version of Facebook. In the end, they had to change direction. At that stage, Mark Zuckerburg stated that focusing on HTML5 had been a mistake. Naturally, for Lee, this was hard to hear. But, the good thing about the whole incident is that they went on to put together an API to enable native iOS and Android apps to be developed. That in turn, led Lee and his team, to create GraphQL. One of the things he is most proud of. (11.52) – Phil asked Lee if he now does anything differently to ensure that he will not pick the wrong technology, again. Lee explains that, nowadays, when working on a project he pauses at regular intervals and asks whether the choices he is making are still the right ones. Technology moves at a fast rate, so doing this is essential. In 2009, building a high-quality mobile website made a lot of sense for Facebook. But, by 2011, user habits had shifted significantly. People were now using their mobile phones far more than they were using touchscreen tablets and similar devices. That was the point at which Lee and his team should have switched from developing the mobile website to developing full iOS and Android apps. Instead, they doubled down on the work they had already done, which was a mistake. (14.25) – Phil asks Lee what his best career moment was. For Lee, that was the open sourcing of GraphQL and building that community. GraphQL was written in Hack a dialect of PHP that was developed by Facebook. The language was open source, but still not widely used, so Lee was not sure about open sourcing GraphQL. The other problem was that GraphQL had evolved over 3 years, so it was not a crisp, clean tool. Fortunately, despite these issues, the Relay team still pushed to share GraphQL. Relay is a piece of software that ties React together with GraphQL. People in the open source community were really interested in Relay and wanted to build data-rich tools for Facebook, using it. So, the Relay team wanted to talk more publically about GraphQL more. In the end, everyone agreed to make it public. So, Lee’s team went through every item explaining what it was for and how it worked alongside and listed that information alongside the appropriate piece of pseudo code to produce an in-depth specification. Then they built a JavaScript library, so that everything could be more widely understood. They also built a new version of Graphical using JavaScript. Finally, they open sourced all of this. It was extremely well received. Within 6 months, the community had replicated everything in nine different languages, including Ruby, Android, iOS and Python. Naturally, for Lee and his team this was very gratifying, a real highlight of his career. (21.56) – Phil asks Lee what excites him about the future of the IT industry. The fact that so many technologies are becoming democratized is something that Lee finds exciting. He is especially excited to see this happening with technologies like AI. He predicts that within the next 10 years we will be using machine learning in ways that are currently unimaginable to us. He is also excited by the fact that we are finding effective ways to collaborate and work remotely. This change means that regardless of where a developer lives they will have the chance to work on all kinds of projects. As a result, everyone will have more IT career opportunities. (25.13) – What drew you to a career in IT? Lee was always interested in computers, but art, architecture and design were his passions. Lee had built websites in High School and found it really boring, so he really did not want to do that. But, when it was time to find work the financial crisis was in full swing. So, there was not that much work around. Luckily, through a personal connection, he got taken on as an intern at The New York Times. It was in the data graphics department, work that turned out to be very interesting. One day, the head of data science from Facebook contacted him and offered him the chance to work for them. But, he was not sure. At the time, social media was not that big and Facebook was still at the startup stage. Plus, the role would have had him working on building a website. But, when he talked to them, he was impressed. So, he took the job. Lee was supposed to be mostly helping the data science team, to interact with the press and explain what they were learning to the rest of the company. But, he was not kept busy enough just doing those tasks. So, he started doing small jobs for the design team. In time, he was asked to join them full-time. At first, he said no. But, when he was given a bigger mobile related project to work on, he was inspired and started working in design full-time. (29.34) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? Lee said it was – “back up and look at the big picture.” This does not come naturally to Lee. But, every time he has made the effort to follow this advice, he has been able to pick up major issues. Spotting them sooner rather than later created the chance for him to fix things. If he had not stepped back, he would never have spotted those issues. (31.32) – If you were to start your IT career again, now, what would you do? Lee thinks he would probably have ended up doing something totally different. Just because he would have seen something interesting and gone off and explored it. Right now, the intersection between machine learning and the interesting new things that are happening in technology and education particularly interests Lee. He would love to work on the design of interactive exhibits and educational tools to produce exhibits and educational materials that are truly immersive. (34.13) – Phil asks Lee what he is currently focusing on, in his career. Right now, Lee’s main focus is helping Robinhood to grow. He believes that their mission is genuinely important. Finances and financial services are extremely complicated, even for someone like him, who is a bit of a nerd and a spreadsheet fiend. He really wants to be involved in demystifying things for ordinary people, so they can make the best decisions. Once they understand the options and how to access them they can invest and borrow without having to pay over the odds to do so. (36.44) – What’s the number one non-technical skill that has helped you in your IT career? Having a good understanding of how people interact with things has always helped Lee. This is a skill that he began learning, during his design studies. A lot of the principles that he learned then apply equally to digital and physical products. (38.18) – Phil asks Lee to share a final piece of career advice. Lee reiterates what he said earlier. He said that finding the overlap between skills and chasing that is what has helped him in his career. When you do that, one thing leads to another and it is easier for you to step into what are sometimes very different roles. BEST MOMENTS: (4.15) LEE – “The thing that has helped me the most is looking for the overlap between two different skill sets.” (5.09) LEE – “Learn to get over imposter syndrome.” (14.08) LEE – “Just spend a month or so just evaluating technologies before you move forward.” (22.58) LEE – “I think 10 years from now, a lot of the software that we write will use machine learning in fascinating ways.” (39.38) LEE – “If you can find two things that you're good at that you don't think are related to each other, figure out where they overlap. There's almost always something really interesting there.” CONTACT LEE BYRON: Twitter: https://twitter.com/leeb Github: https://github.com/leebyron

Comic Cons & Art Fairs Comic conventions and art fairs take place all over the globe, with almost every major city in the United States hosting one. With the large audiences that attend these shows it is a good place for illustrators to show their work and start selling. In this episode we will cover what the world of comic conventions and art fairs is like, ways to get into shows, and the differences between them. This is one of the easiest ways (depending on some conditions) to make money as an artist. Lee White has experience showing at art fairs, whereas Jake Parker and Will Terry have experience with the comic convention circuit. Money range [5:32] The amount of money an artist can make at a show depends on a lot of variables such as location of the show and the types of products being sold. At Lee White’s best art fair show he made $24,000 USD over a three day art fair. On the comic convention side, at Jake Parker’s first convention he made enough to cover the cost of the show and for travel. At Jake’s best comic convention he broke $9,000 USD gross. His average is $5,000-$6,000 USD gross. At Will Terry’s best convention he made $19,000 USD gross. His average is between $7,000-$9,000 USD gross. How Lee, Will and Jake started showing [8:38] Lee got his start showing at art fairs with Crafty Wonderland. He was invited to show when a table opened up. Following that experience he started actively looking for art fairs to attend. In his mid 20’s Jake was in the comic anthology, Flight. The editor of the book purchased a table at San Diego Comic Con, and invited the other artists to use the extra space. Jake went to sell prints and books. After getting a taste of what it was like to table at a show, he decided to do his own show. His first show outside of San Diego was CTNX. Following that success he knew it was possible to be successful at other shows. Will Terry’s first comic convention was a disaster even though he spent two years researching how to sell. Through that experience he learned how to be successful. He now has an assistant that takes Will’s art around the comic convention circuit. Will only personally attends 3-4 of the shows. Will has a series of YouTube videos where he goes into detail about his first experience tabling at a comic convention. Will Terry’s comic convention video series: Lee White: “It’s worth it as an experience. You cannot anticipate how much energy these things take. They are really hard.” Having extra people to help you is really helpful because there are so many factors involved. Doing this full time as your only source of income can be really consuming. For Lee, Will and Jake they use art shows as supplemental income sources. Artists who do this full time can go to 30-40 shows a year. Differences between art fairs and comic conventions [21:05] Art fairs are typically during the summer. Usually outside in parks, but sometimes in convention centers. Artists purchase 10 foot by 10 foot booths. The average attendee at an art fair is older (50 years-old to 70 years old). There are not a lot of collectors, it is mostly people looking for artwork to put on their walls. They want to purchase originals. Prices for pieces at art fairs range from $50 USD to $20,000 USD (higher end of that scale are people buying originals). Lee White: “The more specific the story in my image the less likely it is to sell. The bigger the character in an image, the less likely it is to sell.“ Lee focuses more on environment elements and doesn’t get too specific with storytelling. In order to be successful at art fairs you have to strike a nice balance between illustration and fine art, and create images people want to hang in their homes. Lee’s Secret Sauce for Art Fairs: “[Illustrate] a moment that people can interpret what’s happening versus showing them what’s happening.” Create images that two separate people can view and come up with different stories. Just give the audience a hint of the story. James Jean is a good example of this principle. His work transcends illustration and taps into the art fair market. Website James Jean Instagram Comic conventions [30:40] Comic conventions are focused on popular culture. There is an artist ally section where artists can buy tables to show and sell their work. Attendees typically have $100 and spend that across maybe 5 different artists. What sells the best at comic conventions are things people already know such as characters from popular films, tv shows or cartoons. Comic conventions products typically sells from $4 to $70. There is also a commission market, where attendees will pay artists to draw their character or some other character doing something specific. Some artists open their commission list before the show, whereas others only do commissions during the show. Jake does commissions at show and works on them during down times or at the hotel. He can make an extra $2,000 to $3,000 USD depending on what he is charging. Commission from artists at comic conventions can range from $20 USD all the way to $600 USD. Jake uses fan art he sells at comic conventions to get people to come look at his table where he also has pieces from his original stories. He uses this as a way to expand the audience for his original content. How to start [47:23] When trying to get into art fairs or comic conventions it is really important to understand the market. Lee tried to sell at CTNX with Jake and Will and his art did not fit that market. Step 1: Go visit the shows not as a fan but as research. Take notes, take photos, be detailed and focused. Step 2: Make inventory. You can’t do a show if you don’t have things to sell. Start with prints, prints are cheaper and easier to sell. Make sure to use archival ink and paper so your work doesn’t fade. Jake Parker says “every sell is a person you touch.” When you sell a print you are building a relationships with that person. There is a lot of repeat customers, so if you use cheap stuff you lose that future business. Prints generally have low overhead cost with a high markup price. T-shirts per-unit cost are higher and they can be hard to sell and keep the proper sizes in inventory. Stickers are also harder (higher per-unit cost and lower markup price). People often just want the image so they will buy the smallest size just to get it. Don’t lose sales by selling products with higher per-unit cost. Jed Henry is a good example of this, at shows he only sells one size. Ukiyo Heroes Start small and work your way up. Both with what show you start with and with your inventory (not small products but a smaller product list/inventory). Check to see if there is a show within an hour of your home. This is a good way to start small because you have lower overhead costs. Lee white: “Stay local until you get your market figured out and then start branching out.” It is important to know there are different niche markets in each show. So know your work and who it appeals to. Comic conventions are generally easier to show at then art fairs. Art fairs are curated so. For example, Lee only gets into about half of the art fairs he applies for. List of every convention in the USA Specifics on how to get into art fairs [01:06:29] For art fairs start with craft fairs, they are easier to get into. These shows are usually in the winter and indoors. Art Fair Sourcebook. Has art fairs sorted by region, how many people attend and how much they spend on average. This source is expensive, but it is good data to have when catering to an audience with a larger budget. Zapplication is another good resource. Horror and success stories [01:07:55] Will Terry: For his first show he printed 1000 of each print, 23 different pints, so 23,000 prints total. He couldn’t even fit all his inventory in his car. Printing alone cost him $5,000 USD. He figured he would be showing at a lot of conventions so he was offsetting the cost. At his first show he only made $1,500 USD. After that he was pretty nervous. But luckily he was able to make it up over time, but it was scary after that first show. Lee White: At his first show he sold an original, but didn’t bring any bags. So had to give the customer his original art in a trash bag. At a different show, Lee was busy setting up his booth, running to and from his car. When he was almost finished he realized the fanny pack he kept all his money in ($3,000 from his last art fair) had been open the whole time. Almost all his money flew into the wind before the art fair even started. Jake Parker: At a show in 2018, one of his tables was set up against and facing the wall. So he moved the table. Luckily no one told him to move it back even though it was obviously extending further out than anyone else’s. Also at that convention he had made a display structure out of foam core to hang prints. It kept falling over and he had to keep taping it. Overall it was just bad presentation. Convention etiquette You have to learn convention etiquette. Watch out for ‘booth barnacles,’ they are attendees who stay for way too long and get in the way of making other sells. Jake has a polite way to remove booth barnacles. He waits for an opening in the conversation and sticks out his hand and says “It was so nice to meet you thanks for coming.” After that they usually leave. Also don’t just bring your portfolio to show and expect artists to review it. Always ask if there is a time to show them, don’t just assume. A good way to get a very quick and honest critique is to ask “what is the one main thing I should change in my portfolio?” For more information on critques listen to [Episode 10: Critiques] (https://www.svslearn.com/3pointperspectiveblog/2018/8/8/episode-10-critiques) Gear Information forthcoming.

Have you considered using LinkedIn for lead generation. Lee Betts tells us how to get 10-20 LinkedIn leads a week for only £99 Get 10-20 LinkedIn Leads Per Week for £99 Lee Betts has cracked the code of generating LinkedIn Leads with his LinkedHacker.com website. By using exactly the same process for his own business as he does for clients, Lee has found that 40% of the leads convert to sale. Now, that's pretty good! Lee is used to failure. As an entrepreneur, Lee failed time and time again. Until he realised the importance of scaling. He has aced that class with LinkedHacker.com. Speaking to us from Townsville Australia, Lee explained he identified a magical growth hack that he implements as part of the process. Getting LinkedIn Leads is a process that starts with you upgrading to LinkedIn's Sales Navigator. This will set you back around £65 per week. But you can get a 30 day free trial. Target Your Ideal Client with LinkedIn Leads The first step is to identify your ideal client. Here is what to look for: What keywords does your ideal client get found with? Where do they live? What kind of company are they? What's their industry? What are their Job functions and Job titles? Imagine your ideal client is worth £1,000 profit to you over the course of the next year. With 10 leads per week and a conversion rate of 1 in 20, over the next month you'd have a 4.3 to 1 ROI. How Does This LinkedIn Lead System Work? Your existing links are not used. Lee focuses on attracting new people to you. They get access to your LinkedIn account. They are not too salesy. It's about starting a conversation. It works better for some businesses than others. You can have a 2 week minimum trial. And you can exit the agreement anytime you like. LinkedHacker.com have built a process that works. A member of staff is equal to 50 clients. For Lee, 50 clients equals £5k per week. What is a lead? Someone responds to your message and they show an interest. It is not a qualified lead though. Over a month you'll get 40-80 expressions of interest. Out of them come 20 qualified leads per month. They generate leads but they don't get involved thereafter. Advice from Lee the Entrepreneur Lee recommends reading Mark Manson's "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***" https://www.amazon.co.uk/Subtle-Art-Not-Giving-Counterintuitive/dp/0062457713 "It's not what you want in life but what you are willing to suffer. Answer that question first before you go all in. How important it is to know every area of the business. Have a good understanding of all parts of the business. Read. Research. Test and learn. Also, focus on something that is SCALABLE. How to Contact Lee Betts https://www.linkedhacker.com The Next 100 Days Podcast is brought to you by Graham Arrowsmith and Kevin Appleby
Lee Rankin, owner of Apple Hill Farm, an award-winning agri-tourism business in North Carolina. Lee joins Charlie on the show today to talk about the challenges and triumphs of starting a farm from scratch, and growing it while being a single mom in the middle of North Carolina. While the story is primarily about the farm, she encounters many of the same patterns and principles that we see in all types of creative work and businesses. Key Takeaways: [2:35] - When Lee was 40, she took her one and a half year old son to the Kentucky State Fair and she met an alpaca. In that moment, she realized that what she wanted to do was raise alpacas. When she had fulfilled her current commitment in Kentucky, she moved herself and her son to North Carolina and they found a property, and that’s how it all started. [6:00] - Alpacas date back to Incan times, and Lee thinks they have that same energy pattern intact, and that’s why people are drawn to them. This connection doesn’t seem to happen with just any animal. [8:30] - Along this journey, Lee not only learned about farming, but also learned a lot about herself. First and foremost, she learned that she doesn’t have to know how to do something to actually do it. It’s more about her wanting to do it, moving forward, and learning how to correct when she needs to go in a different direction. [9:54] - Looking back on it, Lee learned that she is much braver and more courageous than she had any idea. Charlie talks about “moral luck,”and the idea that there are times and spaces where we are in certain situations that allow us to manifest bravery and courage. We can’t always know or predict what we’ll do in a given situation. [11:38] - There were a lot of challenges in getting things started, and sometimes looking back on it, she can’t believe she made it through (while raising a child!). One of the first things that happened, about six months into raising alpacas, was that there was an attack on them and she lost four out of five of the alpacas. She discovered her bravery in her quick action and reaction in getting help. Because one lived, they were able to move forward. [16:50] - The alpacas they lost were insured, and although it wasn’t easy, they were able to use the insurance to purchase new alpacas. Had they not been insured, it would’ve been a great loss of money in addition to the loss of the animals. Lee explains a bit about the alpaca business model; their intention was to breed and show. [18:40] - They stayed in the selling animals business for a while, but they also gained some interest in people coming to visit their farm. Lee talks about some of the precautions they put in place to protect the alpacas (more animals), and how that became a story. [20:48] - There are many parallels between creative businesses and the farm business. What usually happens in businesses of all types, is that thing you originally start your business around is not always what makes it profitable. For Lee’s business, people were originally coming for the story around the tragedy, but now they keep coming back to the farm because they have a group of animals that work together and allow them to experience something they’re not used to seeing. [23:27] - The shift to agri-tourism started slowly, and they had to make some changes to become an agri-tourism farm. Lee had to have the animals handled in a way that allows her to spend time with the guests, and they also opened a store. [24:12] - Agri-tourism is tourism on a farm that has to do with agriculture or the land. People are interested in seeing and teaching these processes. They also attract families because families are interested in doing things they can do all together. Fundamentally, they are selling an experience. [27:20] - Alpaca fur is very popular because it’s hypoallergenic, and it’s hollow-cored so it’s warm without being hot. It’s also a natural fiber. There’s an element to it that is more than the sum of its parts that makes it very appealing to people. [30:05] - They have an incredible team of people who work at Apple Hill Farm. They have some employees who have been with them for several years, and they currently have a graduate student on the farm who is studying bumble bee DNA. They have some others who are in school, as well as several people who do things outside of their work on the farm. The team has a special bond, which enhances how they work together and interact with their guests on the farm. [33:55] - Lee has fostered a culture at the farm that is defined by kindness and respect, not just between the staff, but also extended to the guests. A strong leader on their team, Breann, also supports Lee in this idea. [36:23] - Lee really loves what she does and is passionate about it, which has made it hard to turn some things over. But she’s found that when she does turn something over, they grow. With Eric and Breann on board, they have separated tasks out so they’re each responsible for something, instead of Lee shouldering it all. This has led to them gaining some outside support as well, especially with the people who do their payroll, who celebrate their wins with them. [42:05] - There’s a difference between the responsibility load that you carry and the time it takes to do those things. When you can let that go, not only does it free up time, but it lifts the responsibility weight and allows you to focus on other things. [47:20] - Lee’s biggest challenge right now is still trying to find the time to step away and work on her memoir. She wants to step away at the same time the business is growing exponentially, but also doesn’t want to leave. [49:55] - They’re up 32% in number of tours compared to last year, and in terms of money brought in by the tours, they’re up 46%. Their year-to-date sales figures are up about 35%. Leaving this type of growth is difficult because it’s what Lee has been working for since it opened. [53:47] - To help manage the different tasks she does, Lee has days designated for certain tasks - accounting days, days set aside for writing, days on the farm, and rest days. She also manages her time throughout each day, and sets time aside for her to do something creative each day. The principles Lee practices work in a wide variety of contexts and businesses. [59:07] - Lee’s challenge for listeners is to look at what you’re doing from the standpoint of what is it that you’re giving that you need to receive, and start receiving it.

Not seeing the business results you want? Whether we like it or not, how we look and how we dress affects how others perceive us. On today’s episode of Financial Fluency, I have Lee Heyward, an image and sales strategist and author of Strategically Suited: Your Secret Edge to Grow Sales and Get New Clients. Lee believes when you level-up your image you’ll be able to achieve the results you desire. Lee mentions on the show that people are buying you. The way you present yourself is setting you up for that. The best thing about your image is that you control every aspect of your brand. We’ve all heard the phrases “dress for success” or “dress for the job you want” — but what do those phrases mean to you? For Lee, she works with her clients to take a step back, strategize how to put who you are into your style, and analyze what you’re trying to do. Is it to attract a client or climb three steps up the corporate ladder? When Lee first started her career, she was a personal stylist, but now she considers herself a part of her client’s brand. Business can come from the strangest places. Lee notes airports are often where she runs into the most interesting people. She states “If you have to justify the way you look, then it’s not right for you. Sometimes we avoid presenting our very best selves because we think it’s a lot of effort and work to do it, but that’s not true.” Lee helps clients create an image with an edge that will instantly increase sales. Lee’s Style Tips for Creating an Image Lee acknowledges that life is an evolution - sometimes people lose touch with what their style is, what they like and dislike, and how to dress. She shares one of the easiest ways to tap into that: Ask yourself one question “How do you want to feel at this moment?” Think of three words you want to feel and write them down on a sticky note. Stick those sticky notes in your closet and when you get dressed, ask yourself if those descriptions match how you feel. Put a second sticky note in your wallet with those three words and use it as your roadmap whenever you go shopping. Lee’s Mission The way you present yourself is the most powerful marketing tool you have--and most people are underutilizing it. Opportunities are everywhere so why not give yourself an edge by creating an image that strategically helps you reach the results you desire. This isn't about dressing for success, it's about determining the best strategy for you to grow your business simply by changing your clothes.

Lee believes that when you up-level your image, you confidently close every sale, stand proudly on stage, and achieve the results you desire. Her real-world approach demonstrates that up-leveling your image isn’t about creating a perfect package; it’s about tapping into what makes you the best version of yourself for both you and your clients.
Great Escape Radio Episode 59: Life management “If you don’t take the time to plan the life you want, you’ll be stuck living a life you don’t want.” – Lee Cockerell Great Escape Radio host, Jody Maberry and Great Escape Publishing Director, Lori Allen interview Lee Cockerell, former Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World on this episode. Lee led a team of 40,000 cast members and was responsible for operations of 20 resort hotels, four theme parks, two water parks, a shopping and entertainment center—the list goes on. He knows a thing or two about time management. In fact, he wrote the book on it: Time Management Magic. Lori felt it was important to have Lee on the show because Great Escape Publishing members often struggle with this. “In my calls with members, time management was a recurring thing,” she explains. “And it wasn’t just about managing tasks, members often said they didn’t have time to recognize or grab their dreams.” Lee ran Disney World which means he was a dreamer but also a doer and he shares with us the keys to managing all aspects of our lives. “It’s really about life management,” says Lee. “How do you keep your life under control—all parts of it?” Good managers keep things under control and it’s the same with our lives. Lee discusses several key points… ***Time management ***Detail management ***Being reliable ***Being credible He notes… “We often spend more time fretting about things we don’t want to do than it would take to actually do them.” Time management isn’t just about business: it’s about family, health, dreams…all parts of our lives. Listen in for Lee’s thoughts on managing all aspects of your life.

On june 5, 2014, Elizabeth R. Varon delivered the banner lecture "Lee at Appomattox" Robert E. Lee's surrender to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House evokes a highly gratifying image in the popular mind—it was, many believe, a moment that transcended politics, a moment of healing, a moment of patriotism untainted by ideology. But as Elizabeth Varon reveals in her latest book, this rosy image conceals a seething debate over precisely what the surrender meant and what kind of nation would emerge from war. In Appomattox, she deftly captures the events swirling around that well remembered—but not well understood—moment when the Civil War ended. Did America's best days lie in the past or in the future? For Lee, it was the past, the era of the founding generation. For Grant, it was the future, represented by northern moral and material progress. They held, in the end, two opposite views of the direction of the country—and of the meaning of the war that had changed the country forever.

Join us for "Lee's Alabama Boys at the Battle of Chancellorsville" presented by Ben H. Severance on Thursday, July 17th, at 12 noon at the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Civil War historians generally agree that the Battle of Chancellorsville was General Robert E. Lee's military masterpiece. Between May 1-4, 1863, Lee outmaneuvered and soundly defeated Union forces. Contributing greatly to this outcome was the performance of a dozen regiments of Alabama infantrymen. From spearheading Stonewall Jackson's famous flank attack on May 2, to repelling a powerful Union counterattack on May 3, Alabamians played a major role in the battle's most critical phases. For Lee's "Alabama Boys", Chancellorsville was one of their finest moments. At the conclusion of the program, Archives Chief Curator Bob Bradley will show and discuss the flag of the 5th Alabama Infantry. The flag was captured during the Battle of Chancellorsville by the 111th Pennsylvania Volunteers. The flag was returned to the State of Alabama on March 25, 1905. Ben H. Severance is an assistant professor of history at Auburn University Montgomery. He received his Ph.D. in 2002 from the University of Tennessee (Knoxville). In 2005, he published Tennessee Radical Army: the State Guard and Its Role in Reconstruction, 1867-1869. He is currently working on a photographic history of Alabamians during the Civil War. This ArchiTreats presentation is one in a series of monthly third-Thursday free lectures presented by the Alabama Department of Archives and History. The public is invited to bring a sack lunch and enjoy a bit of Alabama history. Coffee and tea will be provided by the Friends of the Alabama Archives.

Movies, Martial Arts and Marathon on Apex. Though known for his films and martial arts, Bruce Lee was also a philosopher and innovator. For Lee, his life in the East Bay was a formative, but little-known period. In the books Dragon and The Tiger, authors Sid Campbell and Greglon Lee explore these years in Lee's life that led to the explosion of interest in Asian martial arts and culture. Movies are also an important way to gage peoples' aspirations. Learn about this as South Asian author Tariq Ali talks about Iran and the trying conditions in the Middle East. And, find out how hope is kept alive as we offer a report-back from two Forums that addressed opposite spectrums of the world's interests. Lastly, as part of KPFA's marathon funddrive, please help Apex by pledging support during the show. If so, you could receive gifts such as the book The Dragon and the Tiger and a special CD, Saving Salinas' Libraries with speakers such as Maxine Hong-Kingston, Dolores Huerta and many more!
