Jason Schulist, Executive Director of the Fox Valley Data Exchange, brought his extensive problem-solving experience to the People Solve Problems podcast hosted by Jamie Flinchbaugh. With over 30 years of experience across construction, automotive, utility, and paper industries, Jason shared valuable insights about understanding and addressing different types of problems. At Fox Valley Data Exchange, Jason works to make community data accessible across three counties in Northeast Wisconsin. The organization helps stakeholders understand how people thrive by examining factors like meaningful work, wealth, physical health, and transportation. In addition to this role, Jason leads the Generative Local Community Institute, focusing on creating economic models that help people flourish. Jason introduced listeners to the Cynefin model, which provides a framework for categorizing problems into clear, complicated, complex, and chaotic domains. He emphasized that different types of problems require different approaches and tools. For example, while manufacturing problems might have clear cause-and-effect relationships, community issues often fall into the complex domain where patterns shift and traditional solutions may not work. Drawing from his experience addressing poverty in his community, Jason shared a compelling case study. His team discovered that earning $18 per hour represented a crucial threshold for stability in their area. They identified three key factors that helped people overcome poverty: some post-secondary education, having or expecting a child, and maintaining consistent employment for six to twelve months. Using this information, they set a goal to double the rate at which people moved out of poverty, from 3.5% to 7%. The project involved 27 parallel experiments, demonstrating Jason's approach to complex adaptive problems. One successful initiative identified eight certification programs - dubbed the "Elite Eight" - that consistently led to stable employment above the target wage. Another successful experiment involved connecting with people who were just a few classes short of completing their certifications, helping them finish their education and secure better-paying jobs. He emphasized the importance of collaboration in community problem-solving. He highlighted the success of CI Squared (Continuous Improvement times Community Improvement), a volunteer group of more than 55 continuous improvement professionals who have participated in over 80 interactions with nonprofits. These volunteers apply their professional skills to help community organizations address challenges and develop strategic plans. Throughout the conversation, he demonstrated how different problem-solving approaches can be adapted and combined to address complex community challenges. His work shows that while some problems can be solved directly, others - particularly in the complex domain - need to be addressed through iteration, observation, and pattern recognition.

After the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021, thousands of people fled the country. In 2022, more than 850 of those Afghan refugees resettled in Wisconsin. Now, many of them are making a home in the state. WPR’s Joe Schulz has more on an exhibit in the Fox Valley trying to foster more understanding about the area’s newest neighbors.

In this episode of dropping pins, Derek sits down with Josh Beaman, a Wisconsin native who lives in the Fox Valley area. Josh talks about how he got interested in hunting big deer by going to college at UW Madison, and exploring the driftless region of Southwestern, Wisconsin. We dive into tactics for thinking about and starting to hunt hill country. Josh explained some basic ideas that he's learned from the hunting beast and other resources throughout the years. Josh then discusses how he's used these tactics to find success on mature bucks on the property he is now hunting. Josh explains a story of how he killed a 170 inch buck with his bow this past year on a ridge hub in which several ridges came together. We talk a little bit about mature buck tendencies, and how they move through the hills as they relate to wind and thermals.  We also discuss advantages and disadvantages to hunting in the hills at different times of the year. The tail end of the episode features our first “the ones that got away“ segment in which Josh walks through a bow hunting mist that still haunt him today Learn more about your ad choices.

From this day forward, WISS will have not one but two signals bringing holiday cheer and more to the Fox Valley! Your listeners can now tune in to 98.3 in Oshkosh and the shiny new 96.5 in Appleton! Merry Christmas to all of Northeast Wisconsin, and may everyone have a holly, jolly holiday season! Warmest wishes, Santa Claus

The busiest man we know this time of year is Santa Claus. He makes a special trip to the Maino & The Mayor studio to bring our listeners a special gift! He reads this letter during his visit: Dear Jim and John, Ho, ho, ho! While your behavior this year has left a little room for improvement (perhaps a few less cookies and a bit more kindness?), your loyal listeners have been absolutely wonderful! And because they've been so good, I thought they deserved a very special gift this Christmas season. The elves at the North Pole have been hard at work in their workshop—and with a little magical engineering, they've built something extra special: a brand-new radio signal to spread even more joy across Appleton and the Fox Valley! From this day forward, WISS will have not one but two signals bringing holiday cheer and more to the Fox Valley! Your listeners can now tune in to 98.3 in Oshkosh and the shiny new 96.5 in Appleton! Merry Christmas to all of Northeast Wisconsin, and may everyone have a holly, jolly holiday season! Warmest wishes, Santa Claus
