At the start of Season 2, Margaret asks "why do you talk so much about vocation?” Richard's surprising answer spans time and space—from Luther's understanding of Beruf that launched the Protestant Reformation to Richard's current theological ideas about what holds the universe together. For Richard, vocation asks, “What you can see that you gave your life to?” He reflects on his life's calling to bring justice to working people, in the context of the history of the Presbyterian Church's Social Gospel movement and his own working class roots. He offers a midrash on the theme of class conflict. And he gives us the wide arc of his theology—from the human spirit to a cosmic Spirit that envelopes us in love.

Making your way through an unfamiliar city can be a harrowing experience. For Richard, not only is it a struggle to keep from getting lost, but he is also being followed. A short stop leads to a wealth of honey cakes and Richard narrowly escapes one group of soldiers to be seemingly seized by another. Join Nate and Jade as they follow him through Chapter 7 of Blood of the Fold!

This week, Richard Jamieson joins us to discuss how using breathing techniques can help you de-stress and keep calm.Episode Highlights[05:14] The Accessibility Of BreathworkPractising meditation and mindfulness helps cope with stress. They’re accessible to everyone. [08:09] What Does Breathing Do To The Body?When we take control of our breath, we can decrease our stress and agitation.[14:59] Breathing TechniquesThe first step is to bring awareness to the breath. Wondering what to look for when observing your breathing? Tune in to the episode to learn more. [17:48] Long-Term View For BreathingThe ideal breath is around five and a half seconds on the inhale and exhale respectively. Devote some minutes of your day to developing breathing techniques. [19:11] Breathing Rate And Heart Rate VariabilityWe also need to look at heart rate variability.Low heart rate variability means an accumulation of stress. We can increase heart rate variability through slower and coherent breathing. [22:23] Finding BalanceChronic stress can create a pattern of holding our breath or breathing too quickly.Practising proper breathing techniques allows us to find the right carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in our bodies.We can balance our body’s needs.[29:19] Beating StressWhen you feel like you’re breathing too fast, try using your fingers to count off your inhales and exhales. To calm yourself down, exhale longer than your inhale. To activate yourself, inhale longer than your exhale.[34:26] Holotropic Breathwork This induces an altered state of consciousness in a dark room with evocative music. For Richard, this kind of breathwork is a psychological detox. [43:25] Summary Of Breathing TipsRemember ART: awareness, regulation, and transformation. Bring awareness to your breath. Regulate yourself through coherent breathing. Explore different breathing techniques.Enjoyed This Podcast?Write a review and share this with your friends.Sign up for a FREE workbook.Join the Shapes Collective Facebook group.Find out more about our training here.Email Rachel or reach her on LinkedIn or Twitter.Podcast Links: Richard’s websitePermission to Thrive for doctorsBreath by James NestorBreathe by Dr Ela MangaJust Breathe by Dan BruléListen to Deepak Chopra on Feel Better, Live More with Rangan ChatterjeeSupport the show (https://youarenotafrog.com)

This week we chatted with chef Richard Blais, whom you may recognize as both a contestant and a judge on Top Chef, and as a judge on Guy’s Grocery Games and MasterChef. Richard came by to talk about his newest restaurant, Ember & Rye, a steak house opening soon at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad. Richard got his start working at The French Laundry, Chez Panisse, and El Bulli, then opened several of his own restaurants in Atlanta. After moving to San Diego, he opened Juniper and Ivy in 2014 and followed that with The Crack Shack in Little Italy. At the time of our recording, Richard was staying at the Aviara, working out the last few details for Ember & Rye to open. Over the past year, Richard says he’s taken advantage of the new circumstances to give his fans a more authentic virtual experience. One project he developed was to move his “stand-up cooking” performances, which he used to spend the bulk of his time traveling to do live, into the intimate setting of his backyard. (Unfortunately, the backyard show is currently on hiatus after Richard received a cease and desist order. Listen to find out what happened!) Ember & Rye is set to open on March 18, as long as the public health orders don’t change. Richard describes this new restaurant as a “steak house of sorts,” which will serve the kind of food that he would want to eat every day. He says a restaurant’s true identity isn’t formed until 90 days after opening, so he’s looking forward to seeing what growth will happen after the launch. He’d been considering opening a steak house for a while, and spending more time at home, burning wood and grilling food in his backyard, helped him fine-tune the concept: Namely, backyard-style grilling with lots of different grills (Santa Maria style), techniques, and tools to cook dry-aged meat and fresh seafood. But why put in all the work to open another restaurant, especially now? For Richard, part of it is a matter of remembering what got him where he is today. He just loves restaurants, great food, and making people happy. He talked about his plan to incorporate golf-inspired art and decor from the ’60s and ’70s at Ember & Rye, as well as classic dishes from that era, like prime rib. He’ll be bringing back old cooking techniques and tools, like a flambadou used to heat up and drip melted fat over the meat, alongside his more well-known trademarks, like liquid nitrogen. In Hot Plates, San Diego’s favorite fishmonger has his own TV show! Tommy Gomes, who was at Catalina Offshore for 15 years, is starring in a new docuseries called The Fishmonger on the Outdoor Channel premiering March 1. Vista will get a new beer hall next month called Co-Lab, which will feature booths from different breweries, food vendors, and outdoor seating. California state senator Bill Dodd introduced SB 389, which would legalize takeout cocktails permanently if it passes. In Two People for Takeout / Two People for $50, Richard recommended Alborz, a Persian restaurant in Del Mar. He enjoys the skewered meats, koobideh (kebab made from ground beef), and saffron rice, and his favorite dish is the fesenjon (pomegranate and walnut stew). Troy’s pick was Awash Ethiopian Restaurant in North Park for tibs, a spicy beef tenderloin stew, and the vegetarian sides that come with injera flatbread. Marie’s pick was the Lebanese restaurant Amardeen in UTC for their beef and lamb shawarma, lentil soup, and homemade baklava. David recommended the pizza at The Friendly, which has two locations in North Park. Thank you for listening! As always, we want to hear from our listeners. Do you have a question for Troy?

The British Museum was founded in 1753 when Sir Hans Hans left his entire collection to the country of England. At first glance, a personal collection doesn't sound worthy of starting a museum. But over his lifetime, Hans ended up becoming a one-person repository for all things relating to the natural world. Hans outlived many of the explorers and collectors of his day, and as they would die, they would bequeath him their herbariums and collections. So when Hans passed away, he practically had become the caretaker of the world’s Natural History, aka the British Museum. Today the British Museum is the largest indoor space captured by Google Street View. Google mapped the museum in November of 2015, and so it's now available online to all of us. So, today if someone asks you what you’re doing, you can say, "I'm going to tour the British Museum. What are you up to?"   January 15, 1786 Today is the birthday of the British shoemaker and amateur botanist Richard Buxton. Born into poverty in Lancashire, as a young boy, Richard enjoyed picking his favorite wildflowers: Germander Speedwell, Creeping Tormentil or Cinquefoil, and Common Chickweed. Now, although it has pretty deep blue flowers, I think it's a little funny that Richard picked Germander Speedwell (Veronica chamaedrys "kam-EE-driss") because the blossoms wilt quickly after picking or cutting them - which is how it got the ironic common name "Männertreu" in Germany. "Männertreu" means "men's faithfulness."  As for Creeping Tormentil or Cinquefoil (Potentilla reptans) - today, that plant is considered a lawn weed. And a clue to the medicinal power of this invasive plant is its name: Potentilla, which means "powerful, despite its small size."  Finally, all species of Chickweed are in the genus Stellaria. And, the adorable little chickweed blossoms resemble carnations, which makes sense because chickweed is actually a member of the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae ("kair-ee-off-il-AYE-see-ee"). And before we get back to Richard's story, there's another great thing to know about Chickweed: it's a great plant to eat. I think of it as a spinach substitute. Nutritious and delicious, you can eat Chickweed leaves raw or in a sandwich or salad. The mild flavor is delightful - and if you're wondering what it tastes like, it's often compared to corn silk. As for Richard, he was industrious, and he taught himself to read when he was 16. Richard accomplished this herculean task with two books: The Common Spelling Book and Jones Pronouncing Dictionary. And by the age of 18, Richard became an apprentice to a shoemaker and an amateur botanist named James Heap. Together, James and Richard would botanize the countryside - looking for herbs to make drinks. After realizing a reference book would help with their foraging, Richard bought a copy of Culpeper's Complete Herbal. And when Culpepper wasn’t practical enough or accurate, Richard purchased Meyrick’s Herbal. For Richard, both of these books both started a lifelong pursuit for botanical knowledge. As a gardener, if you struggle with taking cuttings from your garden, you’ll identify with Richard. Although most botanists collect specimens and then dry and mount them, Richard couldn’t bear to cut the specimens he found in nature. Instead, Richard made all of his botanical discoveries by observing living plants and taking notes. In 1849, when Richard was 62, he endeared himself to his countrymen when he published a book called A Botanical Guide to the Flowering Plants, Ferns, Mosses, and Algae, Found Indigenous Within Sixteen Miles of Manchester. Richard’s obituary in The Preston Chronicle and Lancashire Advertiser said: “This extraordinary self-taught man died at his residence… after a very short illness, in the 81st year of his age. It is now nearly twenty years since Mr. Buxton, then a maker of children's shoes wrote his "Botanical Guide." In that book, in an exciting account of himself, Richard said, "I have now reached the age of 62 years, and although by no means robust, I can yet make a ramble of thirty miles a day, and enjoy the beauties of nature with as much zest as ever I did in my life.  True, the pursuit of botany has not yielded me much money, but what, in my opinion, is far better, it has preserved my health, if not my life, and afforded me a fair share of happiness."  Mr. Buxton was probably the best British botanist... that Lancashire has produced, and he has been called by one of the most eminent living authorities, " a complete dictionary of English botany." Richard was a pauper all of his life. As he grew older, Richard’s friends and fellow naturalists encouraged the community to help Richard by buying his book. And the geologist Edward William Binney set up a fund for Richard and ultimately ended up paying for Richard's tombstone when he died at the age of 81. And in 1914, The Guardian shared that members of a Manchester nature club were going to try to ascertain how many of the 40 plants mentioned by Buxton still existed.  There was no word on the results of that endeavor.   Unearthed Words The first thing I noticed as I watched my own boots sink below the blue-shadowed surface were the footprints of many other occupants of the garden. The mallard duck had left their heavy, plodding trails before flying off, hopefully, to someplace where the water is not totally frozen over - probably to the salt marshes which are not far away. The large webless prints of moorhens, setting off in determined straight lines, were everywhere. Blackbirds, thrushes, robins, and jackdaws were evident in a confused jumble of prints all around the house and buildings. I wish I could identify more of the strange little footmarks to be found in the snow. However, it is not difficult to recognize rabbits’ long feet, crisscrossing an area we call ‘The Wilderness,’ my last two acres of uncultivated land, which is wired off from the garden with rabbit-proof netting. Here too, I saw the prints of a fox together with a continuous hollow scraped in the soft snow. It was easy to imagine him dragging his kill back to some hideaway. Wingbeats of alighting birds were left imprinted as blue-shadowed fans on the glittering whiteness. — Beth Chatto, garden writer and gardener, Beth Chatto's Garden Notebook, January   Grow That Garden Library A Year at Brandywine Cottage by David Culp This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is Six Seasons of Beauty, Bounty, and Blooms.

It said: “The authorship of the popular book... The Garden of a Commuter's Wife... has been as jealously guarded in this country. It can be positively stated, however, that the book [was] written by Mable Osgood Wright. Her authorship will be ...announced by the Macmillan Company on the publication of a new book in the series The Garden, You and I." A New Yorker, Mabel Osgood Wright, was a leader of the Audobon movement, a photographer, a conservationist, a native plant advocate, and an American author who wrote about gardens, nature, and birds. A nature writer, Mabel started out by submitting pieces to The New York Times and other newspapers. A decade later, she collected her articles and put them in a book called The Friendship of Nature. After her first book, Mabel produced a brand new book every single year until 1911. Some of her more famous works include Birdcraft, which came out in 1895, and Flowers and Ferns in Their Haunts, released in 1901. Mabel had a gift for writing about nature and natural sciences in a way that was relatable and struck a chord with her readers. As a talented photographer, Mabel took most of the photographs for her books. As indicated in the newspaper article above, Mabel published her best-selling book The Garden of a Commuter’s Wife (1901) and its sequels, under the  pseudonym “Barbara.” In Mabel's book The Garden of a Commuter’s Wife, the gardener was Mabel, and the Commuter was her husband, James. Mabel dedicated her book and her garden to him. Mabel was opposed to the massacre of birds to decorate women’s hats. In Connecticut, Mabel created the first private bird sanctuary in the country. The sanctuary, Birdcraft, was Mabel’s design. Today the six-acre Birdcraft Sanctuary is open daily, year-round, from dawn to dusk. And Mabel’s beautiful Connecticut country home and garden gave her plenty of material for her books. It was Mabel Osgood Wright who said: “Let everyone who makes garden plans frequently insert the letters C.P. after them as a reminder... for Climate Permitting.”   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Richard Brown is the Chief Technology Officer at R3. He leads the team that has invented, designed and brought to market the Corda blockchain platform. He now also leads the team that’s building out their second major product line, called Conclave a platform to securely share and analyse data using confidential computing.   What is blockchain? Previously Richard gave Insureblocks a definition of blockchain from an enterprise perspective. A blockchain like Corda is all about allowing multiple firms in a market to be in sync with each other about facts, they care about such as loans and trade deals. Documents which are shared between firms such as notification of loss for an insurance policy, will invariably evolve over time. The claim gets reviewed, processed and authorised. All those business processes are executed within a firm.  Other firms across the ecosystem that have a stake in those documents need to be in consensus about their status. For Richard, blockchain is all about ensuring that all the participants in an inter firm business process are in sync and remain so. The key value proposition being that “what you see is what I see”. Since our last podcast together in April 2019, Richard believes that his original definition of blockchain has been mostly validated by projects R3 has successfully run such as Spunta, by ABI (the Italian Banking Association). Spunta is about ensuring Italian banks are in sync with each other, that their balances reconcile and all the details are correct.   Security on the web – the padlock on your browser We rarely think about how computers work or what promises they make. This can lead to some unexpected or often problematic outcomes. When browsing the web, including going onto social media sites like Facebook, we are trained to look out for that padlock next to that URL within our internet browser as it gives us a sense of security. What that padlock tells us is that the connection between ourselves and Facebook is secure. That we are talking to the real Facebook.com and that connection is with servers controlled by Facebook.com. This means that whatever data you are exchanging with Facebook is protected in transit as it leaves your computer and goes across Facebook servers. However, what it doesn't say is what Facebook will do with the data, it simply tells you that they are the ones who will receive it. Once Facebook receives that data they can do whatever they like with it. Something which of course has led to some press scandals as the Cambridge Analytica one. Social media sites today haven’t deployed any technological measure to constrain or control how they use your data. As consumers we rely entirely on social and legal measures to constrain what they do with that data. The padlock in the browser effectively gives us a false sense of security, because whilst it gives protection to the data as it moves it doesn’t do anything about how the data is ultimately used by the receiving party. This problem of course isn’t just for consumers but also for businesses. Banks will route client orders to exchanges to buy or sell shares. Insurance companies will send data to government agencies or third party credit agencies. A lot of the data that is being sent may include personally identifiable and risky information. As a company, the only way you can get comfortable with that is by investigating the reputation and procedures of that firm. For firms to get a better understanding of their market share or how they compare with their competitors they have two ways of doing that. Share information with their competitors which most wouldn’t want to and even if accepted is usually prohibited in numerous jurisdictions. The other approach is sharing it with third parties such as Bloomberg in the financial industry. Financial institutions share with Bloomberg information regarding trades they’ve done and at what price. Bloomberg aggregates all that data,

Finally making it to your destination after a long journey is usually a good thing. For Richard however that is pretty far from the case. In today's chapter he and Verna arrive at the Palace of the Prophets and Richard gets to make a first impression. Join Nate and Jade as we get into Chapter 49 of Stone of Tears!

Racing is about to re-start. The Vuelta a Burgos gets underway next Tuesday and the first major stage race on the calendar in more than four months features a high quality field, including Nairo Quintana, Remco Evenepoel, Richard Carapaz and the Yates brothers, Simon and Adam. Lionel Birnie, Daniel Friebe and Richard Moore look ahead to Burgos and pick out one thing each that fascinates them about the resumption of racing. For Daniel, it's whether Quintana can maintain the form that he showed early in 2020, when he appeared re-born with his new team, Arkéa-Samsic. For Richard, it's the Ineos intrigue with Chris Froome and Egan Bernal potentially in the same Tour de France team. And for Lionel it's the fact that almost an entire season is crammed into a little more than three months – how will it all work and what patterns might emerge?

In episode 17, we sit down with Milwaukee running legend, Richard Dodd. Richard goes way back when it comes to running in Milwaukee. He was there in 1977 when the Badgerland Striders formed their name. This episode covers many topics because when you have been running in Milwaukee that long and you are on a Milwaukee running podcast there is A LOT TO TALK ABOUT. For Richard, his story starts when he found running at Whitnall High School setting school records and quickly qualifying for the Boston Marathon at the age of 18. Being a Life Time Member of the Badgerland Striders, Richard and his brother started the Firecracker Four, which is still running today. Richard and his twin brother set the state record in the 50k, clocking a time together of 2:59:56. He earned the Wisconsin state coach of the year for cross country and most recently co-founded Ethan’s Run Against Addiction. Richard shares these stories and many more on this episode.

William was born in Australia, raised in Singapore for 5 years, lived in the UK for 3.William has worked for large and small companies across senior roles in sales and marketing. He finally left Oracle to start his first business. He launched a second business the day his first child was born (he is now 9).Harvest Box (“better-for-you snacking products”) is now ranged across 4,000 stores including Coles, Costco, Coles Express, WH Smith, Jetstar, Virgin and exported to 7 countries through retailers like Walmart in China and Starbucks in Philippines.With the success of Harvest Box, and the relationships built, William has now launched Ocean Australia Sunscreen targeting a natural mineral based sunscreen that is better for the skin and is reef safe. Launched in October 2019 the products are stocked in over 800 stores including Priceline and Amcal.In this episode of the Human Potential Podcast Richard talks with our host, Oliver Freer, about “why you know you will start a business” as well as discussing how data is king. The two also converse about the importance of being cautious of expert advice. More about William CookWilliam believes that you can plan, strategise and search for trends but you can't force an opportunity. Research, and more importantly awareness of where the market is going, will allow you to find a great opportunity in the sea of average opportunities. For Richard it was seeing the growth and change in manufacturing technologies in natural Sunscreen protection.William is an avid planner – he believes in the importance of planning; knowing that as much as possible has been prepared and therefore being able to accept the failures that will inevitably come.William talks about a major failure - being dropped from Jetstar onboard menu after two years. However, William learnt to control the frustration, and re-built the relationship and so two years later are back onboard again with a product that is doing extremely well. William believes persistence will be rewarded.William Cook’s book recommendationsAnything by Richard Branson!Losing My Virginity: How I've Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My WayScrew It, Let's Do ItLike a Virgin: Secrets They Won't Teach You at Business SchoolFinding My Virginity: The New AutobiographyScrew Business as Usual

Richard started out working on cakes with his mom in Pampa Texas when he was only 5 yrs old. His mother owned a bakery, and with the skills he learned there fit right in with the colors of toy cars he had at the time.  At 18 yrs old, he moved to Dallas with nothing but a cargo van he purchased with his last dollar.For years he would work as a mobile Mechanic, going to onsite location with just his Van. Fast forward to 2005, he now had earned enough money to open his own shop. He started with one service, and now offers multiple services. For Richard, its not the Quantity of cars to fix, but its the Quality.

When people ask me what our best insurance is against being made irrelevant by AI, I always reply: rethink education. On this week’s show, I spoke to someone doing just that. Richard Culatta is the CEO of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), and prior to which, was the chief innovation officer for the state of Rhode Island and the director of the Office of Educational Technology for the U.S. Department of Education. For Richard, the future of education is more than just digital textbooks or electronic whiteboards - the real challenge is whether we can leverage disruptive technology to fundamentally reimagine the experience of learning. Duplicating existing education processes are doomed for failure, as is any approach that treats all students the same. We chatted about the real potential of personalized learning, whether AI will replace traditional teachers, and what companies like GM are doing to help reboot the education system to prepare kids for the Algorithmic Age.

In episode 58, Dr. Richard Chambers joins us for an engaging discussion about how he encourages and teaches people to experiment with their use of technology. In particular, he prompts them to pay attention to both how they feel subjectively when they are using technology in different ways, in different situations, and also how they feel when not using it at all.Dr. Richard Chambers is a clinical psychologist and leading mindfulness expert. He feels his calling is working with and teaching mindfulness, focus, and distraction control in schools and universities. For Richard, mindfulness provides him with the experience of freedom from all the rumination and worry that clouds his mind, and he strives to share that with others, too.Resources:Richard Chamber’s WebsiteSmiling Mind Meditation AppDr. Richard Chambers’ TEDx TalkMindful Learning by Dr. Rich ChambersSome Questions I Ask: · How did you get into mindfulness?

GUEST BIO: Richard Warburton is the co-founder of Opsian.com and maintainer of the Artio FIX Engine.  He’s worked as a developer in different areas including Developer Tools, HFT and Network Protocols. Richard wrote the book “Java 8 Lambdas” for O’Reilly and is also an experienced conference speaker, having spoken at dozens of events and sat on conference committees for some of the biggest conferences in Europe and the USA.   EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s show is Richard Warburton. He is best known for his book “Java 8 Lambdas”, which was published by O’Reilly Media. Over the years, he has also spoken and numerous big tech conferences and sat on several conference committees. He is the co-founder of Opsian.com and maintainer of the Artio FIX Engine. His mainly freelance career has led to him working with numerous companies, in various roles. Richard has worked on HFT, Developer Tools and Network Protocols. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (1.03) – So Richard, can you expand on that brief introduction and tell us a little bit more about yourself? Richard starts by explaining that unlike most IT professionals he has always worked for himself or as a contractor. He enjoys the fact that working this way gives him more control over what he does and usually the direction of the projects he works on. For example, it has enabled him to run a company called Opsian with a friend. Their company helps people to understand and solve their performance problems by showing them what their software is actually doing. At the same time, he continues to work on various consulting engagements. Right now, a lot of his work is related to financial trading systems. (2.45) – Phil asks Richard what drew him to that particular area. Richard said that he had always been interested in working in sectors where he could push the technology envelope. That is certainly necessary for the financial trading sector. (3.48) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the I.T. career audience? Richard’s advice is to always try to work with people who you can learn from. He has always tried to do that and has been lucky enough to work with and learn a lot from people like Martin Thompson, Martin Burgberg and Kirk Pepperdine. If you can’t work with great people you can learn from in your day job, just do it in the open source community instead. There are plenty of opportunities there. Richard has worked on a bunch of open source projects, which have really helped his career. Collaborating with others improves your habits, develops your philosophy and enables you to pick up new ways of working. You really grow as a professional when you work collaboratively. Phil agrees surrounding yourself with people who offer something different from you can be leveraged to move your career forward. (6.07) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? And what you learned from that experience. For Richard, that happened on the first day he started working for j.clarity. He wrote a piece of code, which looked fine and worked. But, when the CTO pulled it down and ran it on his laptop he got the blue screen of death, or at least the Mac OS equivalent. Not the first impression Richard had wanted to make. Fortunately, his CTO was very understanding about the situation. It was laughed off, solved and soon forgotten. That incident taught Richard how important it is to be working with supportive colleagues when things go wrong. They make sure that you are not overwhelmed by the problem, help you to resolve it, learn from it and move on to the next challenge. It also reminded him to bear in mind that code that works in one environment can easily fail in another one. You have to fully consider the other environments it may be run in before releasing it. Try to think about what can go wrong. Doing this enables you to produce a more robust piece of code. (10.56) – What was your best career moment? For Richard, getting his book published was definitely a highlight. Writing a book is a long-term project especially when you do it while working full-time as he did. At points, you lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. So, when you finally get it done it feels fantastic. (12.20) – Do people contact you a lot about your book? Richard says that when it was first published he did receive a fair amount of feedback both positive and negative. It always felt good when he heard from someone who had been able to use what they learned to solve a problem. (13.25) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The fact that there are so many opportunities in the IT sector is something Richard enjoys. Someone once said “software is eating the world”, and they were right. In one way it is a scary time to be living in. But, if you are working in the IT industry, it is also an amazing time to live through. Things change fast, often without us realizing it. For example, recently he visited Vienna with his family. Just 10 years ago, a trip like that would have had to have been planned in detail, well in advance. You would have needed a guide book, reservations and a stack of maps. Today, all you need is your Smartphone. Plus, GPS means you can’t really get lost. The fact that everything you do in IT potentially has a huge impact on people’s lives is part of the reason it is so interesting. (15.36) – What drew you to a career in IT? Since Richard was a kid, he has been interested in the way things work. His theory is that a lot of people who are working in software development played with Lego bricks as kids. Richard was attracted to the fact that coding allows you to create things while tinkering around, playing and experimenting. Of course, this is true of other fields too, for example, engineering. But, computers had always fascinated him. Partly because what you can do with them is so varied, almost unlimited. So, that is the career path he followed. (17.00) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? Richard says for him it was not advice, as such, that helped him the most. He found that encouragement was what moved him forward. For example, a guy called Ben Evans encouraged him to speak at software conferences. Public speaking has played a big role in moving his career forward. For a long time, he regularly ran training to help people to code better using Java. He was heavily involved in meetups and workshops. Doing all of this has really helped to open doors for him. But, to do it, he needed a bit of encouragement. (18.45) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Right now, artificial intelligence is hot, so he would probably get involved with that. It is certainly an interesting and challenging field. (19.41) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? Right now, it is a business objective that Richard is focusing on. He wants to really grow his company and hire more people. So, he is currently honing some of the skills he already has and learning new ones. Including marketing skills, so he can better engage with the market place and share and explain what Opsian.com has to offer. (21.22) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? Richard says public speaking has proved to be a very useful non-technical skill. It has put him in contact with a lot of people and helped him when he wanted to write, publish and market his book. (21.55) – Phil asks Richard to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. Richard’s advice is to practice your writing skills. Written communication is still very important. You can’t achieve much on your own. So, you need to be able to communicate effectively. Written communication is still the main way we share complex information, so you need to be good at it. BEST MOMENTS: (3.32) RICHARD– "I've always been really keen on trying to find areas where you do get to push the envelope, technology wise" (3.52) RICHARD– "Try and work with people who you can learn things from.” (13.59) RICHARD– "It’s a scary time to be living through. But it's an amazing time to be living through if you're working in the IT industry." (15.58) RICHARD– “I have a big theory that a lot of people who are working in software played with Lego bricks when they were a kid." (23.01) RICHARD– "In order to achieve things with other people, you always need to be able to communicate with them. Written communication is such an underrated part of that skill” CONTACT RICHARD: Twitter: https://twitter.com/RichardWarburto LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-warburton-5b03613/ Website: https://www.opsian.com/

Welcome to the second bonus episode of Season 2! Dr. Richard Shuster joined us to make this special episode. Richard is the host of The Daily Helping Podcast, a podcast dedicated to helping people become the best version of themselves. He is a clinical psychologist with a specialization in forensics and neuropsychology. Also, he is starting a non-profit charity to help children reach their potential by providing speech, physical, and occupational therapy. Before finding his calling, Richard worked in technology for many years. But his life was changed forever when he survived a horrific car accident. He suffered extensive injuries including a broken back. During his recovery, Richard felt unfulfilled by his life’s accomplishments and wanted to do more, so he resigned from his executive position to seek more meaningful work. In this podcast, Richard shares with us his definition of "purpose-driven" and how following that mentality has helped him find fulfillment at work and everywhere else. For anyone who's stuck or struggling to find 1.) what your passions are and 2.) how to turn those passions into meaningful work then this episode will help get the wheels turning. Richard is a delight and we know you're going to enjoy this episode! Download this Episode SHOW DETAILS Running time: 21:31  Subscribe on iTunes and leave us a review SHOW NOTES (10:45) - How did your near death experience give you a sense of drive, passion, and purpose? Richard spent a lot of time reflecting on his life after the accident. He came to the conclusion that everything we do should be purpose-driven and we should focus on altruism. They key is to find something that you are passionate about that you can making a living off of, but also makes the world a better place. The opportunities are not as rare as many think. (12:40) - Is their a process to become purpose-driven? For Richard, the process unfolded organically. He went from working 80 hours a week to 0 hours a week; so he had plenty of time to reflect. He recommends journaling, reading, and meditation. If you're unsure what your passions are, Richard recommends writing often and look for patterns that may indicate interest in certainty ideas, activities, etc. (15:47) - How will you measure the success of your endeavors? The Daily Helping’s mission is intentionally aspirational; it won’t have a definitive end. However, the movement is quantifiable. Richard’s goal is to inspire a million people to post an act of kindness on a daily basis. ADDITIONAL NOTES Go and do something nice for someone you don’t know.

The classic J.W. Pepper film The Man With The Golden Gun sees Roger Moore return as James Bond. He may not be able to swing a threesome but he sure can deliver the most gloriously painful puns ever committed to cinema. The only match for the insane poshness of MI6 is a brilliant Bond villain turn from the late but ever-awesome Christopher Lee. For Richard, there's very little distinction between Bond parodies and entries to the actual canon such as this. Nevertheless, Jonathan considers this a favourite of his and explains why.

Today on Cause Talk Radio, Megan and Joe talk to Richard Swart, the Director of Research on Crowdfinance at University of California at Berkeley and author of the World Bank’s Report On Global Crowdfunding, on how to strategically use crowdfunding for corporate social responsibility (CSR). Companies across America are partnering with community organizations and crowdfunding platforms to leverage their social reach and extend their CSR messaging. It's becoming an accepted CSR activity, with very little downside and incredible potential. For Richard, crowdfunding happens when people are asked to vote with their wallets to support a product or project - instead of with their "likes" or social media impressions. It began in the arts community in 2008 when groups used crowdfunding to get their films backed. From there it was adopted by nonprofits and for-profits alike.

The place where many Christians engage with atheists about belief is online.  But why do both sides turn up to engage in the conversation, and what is the fruit? Todd Pitner and Richard Morgan are adult converts to Christianity who often engage in apologetics debate online.  They meet face to face with Paul Baird - one of the many atheists they debate online. All three are members of the Premier Community where apologetics debate is common at the "Unbelievable?" group http://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/group/unbelievable They discuss the different style, tactics and motives of those who participate and whether atheists or Christians are prepared to change their mind.

Richard’s grandfather, Richard Poethig, emigrated from Saxony, Germany, during the anti-Socialist campaign of Otto von Bismarck.  He sees organized religion as antagonistic to the cause of working people. For Richard’s mother, a religious upbringing was essential to life. Her tenement neighbor, Emily Masek, encourages Henny to enroll Richard in Good Will Sunday School, an East […]

In 1189, one of England's legendary kings takes the throne. Richard I (nicknamed the Lionheart for his courage in battle) has become an English folk hero, most famously in the story of Robin Hood, but he spent surprisingly little time in England. For Richard, the supreme priority was taking back Jerusalem from the great Muslim leader Saladin in the Third Crusade. As if this was not challenging enough, Phillip II of France starts to encroach on his continental Angevin territories and his younger brother John seeks to move against him. Richard is fortunate to have the unfailing support of his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, but when we pass our judgement will his performance stand up to the legend?
