Podcasts about future makers

One of our favorite things is the impact of great employers on individuals, small towns, and the overall culture of the communities they operate within, and this episode is all about what happens when an amazing work culture fosters amazing things outside of the workplace. Amanda Gregory and Joe House both work for a manufacturing company called Design Ready Controls and co-founded MAKE (Manufacturing, a Kid's Experience) in 2023 as a way to foster awareness about and interest in manufacturing in a way kids can understand. MAKE is about showing kids what kinds of possibilities exist in the manufacturing space and helping parents who work in manufacturing share what they do with their days in a kid-friendly way. Although entirely separate from their “day job,” the collaborative, open culture of Design Ready Controls directly influenced Amanda and Joe's efforts and takes workforce development and passion to a whole new level, and we're here for it. About MAKE: MAKE was founded in 2023 by Amanda Gregory and Joe House to educate children about manufacturing. The MAKE platform began with sharing stories about manufacturing through Blake Explores Manufacturing. Now with a monthly newsletter, Future Makers, they continue to inspire through building activities and manufacturing tours & experiences. About Joe: Joe started with Design Ready Controls in 2022 as Chief Commercial Officer, working alongside sales, marketing, and supply chain teams to strengthen our industry-leading customer and supplier partnerships. Prior to joining the team, Joe spent 9 years in sales leadership at an electrical distributor, where he worked as both a supplier and customer of Design Ready Controls. Joe graduated from the University of Saint Thomas in 2013 with degrees in Mathematical Economics and Business Management. About Amanda: Amanda joined the Design Ready Controls team in 2015, starting in office management and 5S initiatives. She quickly advanced to take on leadership roles in marketing and now leads marketing, sales development, internal communications, and office management. Amanda earned a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communication with a minor in Marketing from Winona State University. Her professional background includes account and project management, as well as marketing experience in the produce and manufacturing industries.

Another unique episode for the show! I've never done this before but thought it might be cool for listeners to hear from someone that I've worked with. I asked one of my customers, Matt Barinholtz (Founder of FutureMakers), to join me on the show and talk about our work together. Maybe some listeners will connect with what he's been building and the challenges that he was experiencing. I was Matt's coach (together with my colleague Daniel O'Reilly) during a 7-week EdTech Founders GTM Bootcamp that included instruction on both marketing + sales. We did a bunch of 1:1 feedback sessions as Matt implemented some of the strategies and drafted a playbook for scalable growth. FutureMakers was founded in 2011 and sparks playful hands-on learning for a future fueled by makers. Basically they've created these cool machines that students can make in the classroom and then get to keep. Here's what we cover: Background on Matt's business; Why'd he decide to do the GTM Bootcamp; What's been the biggest lesson/value from the bootcamp; How has he started to implement the learnings.

In this episode of the Chamber of Musical Curiosities, Artistic Director Paul Kildea talks with the Australian artist Genevieve Lacey. As he eloquently notes in the introduction, to simply refer to Genevieve as ‘a recorder player, is missing the point', as she has forged a rich career, with credits as a performer, composer, and curator. In this conversation, Genevieve reflects upon the emergence of her artistic practise, talks about how ‘a life in art is one of constant evolution', and reflects on the genesis, and importance of Musica Viva's Future Makers program. She doesn't leave without revealing tantalising information about the new collaboration she's developed with her friend and colleague, the harpist Marshall McGuire, which they'll be touring for Musica Viva in 2021.

Episode 11, 2020: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons Wednesday 9 September 2020 It was in 1725 in the city of Amsterdam when Venetian virtuoso and composer, Antonio Vivaldi’s Il cimento dell’armonia e inventione or The Contest between harmony and invention was published. The composition was made up of twelve sets of concertos for violin, strings and continuo. Its first four concertos, dedicated to a particular season quickly became popular and have since become known as The Four Seasons, a division from the whole Vivaldi did not foresee. The Four Seasons disappeared in the concerto circles after Vivaldi’s death only to resurface in 1948 after a recording of it by Louis Kaufmann. Today it is considered one of the most recorded works of all time, with over 400 versions by different musicians. One of the most interesting features about this Vivaldi composition are the introductory sonnets for each concerto believed to be written by Vivaldi himself. ANAM violinist Harry Ward thought that each sonnet helps set the scene for each concerto and decided to have one person from the orchestra read the sonnet that accompanies each concerto when he performed and directed The Four Seasons with fellow ANAM Musicians last year. In this week’s episode of ANAM Radio, Harry and Phil Lambert (ANAM Music Librarian) chat about remarkable musical details of this classic masterpiece. The Four Seasons performance featured in this episode is from Harry’s recital concert at ANAM in 2019 with ANAM strings and Peter de Jager. Harry was recently recognised as one of Musica Viva’s FutureMakers. Watch the full performance recording athttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM2FYe5jcss&feature=youtu.be

Debbie sheds light on how Sage – a business solutions company and accounting software developer – launched the Sage Foundation five years ago. She was instrumental in launching the foundation which, today, entices more than 13,000 Sage colleagues to volunteer their time (last year, they volunteered an aggregate of 31,000 days), works with 300 charities at any given time, and supports local communities through grants, resources and innovative initiatives. Debbie notes that philanthropy and volunteering are a great way to create happiness and her passion is unmistakable.  We hear how the Sage Foundation focuses on young people, women and military veterans and engages around work-readiness, education and entrepreneurialism. Each Sage colleague is granted 5 days per year to volunteer for a charitable cause close to their heart. This can take many forms and today, with the pandemic and COVID-19 impacting the world, they’re doing a great deal of remote volunteering – such as online mentoring, helping children to read or even working with wildlife charities by reviewing live cams and assessing animals’ migration routes. Moreover, at the Sage Foundation they’re helping charities better manage their finances in the face of the novel coronavirus pandemic – for instance, by helping charities be more effective with their cash-flow and by facilitating knowledge-sharing between organisations.  They’ve also launched the FutureMakers initiative, which is aimed at teaching young people aged between 11 and 18 about artificial intelligence (AI) and considering the likely impact AI could have on their future careers. In addition to volunteering and grants, the Sage Foundation also helps with resource by discounting their cloud-based software and supporting charities in their local markets. Debbie shares her experience of what it was like to launch the Sage Foundation from scratch, how she advocated for this philanthropic initiative to sit at the very top of the Sage corporate structure and also gives insight into the work required to introduce the notion of a foundation and volunteering to the firm’s 13,000-strong workforce and, ultimately, ensuring everyone is strongly engaged with philanthropy. Debbie’s key takeaway for listeners: “Action speaks louder than words. Get on and do it!” Visit Lidji.org for guest bios, episode notes and useful links.

This week's guest is Victoria Foster, who shares her transformational journey of listening to calling, discovering purpose and championing female leadership.Her path traverses an upbringing in Chicago, extensive travel and ‘global citizenship' and early career in global investment banking. Sometime into this successful profession she reached a critical juncture, when a courageous conversation with her future child led her to choose a different road, a new path, one that took her into international development and global innovation, and leads her to into the conversation with us today.What drives Victoria is how she can contribute to a more inclusive world. She is an executive coach, strategic advisor, and guide to senior women leaders, as well as men who want to take the lead in building more inclusive futures. She dedicates her life to “paying-it-forward” to other courageous leaders who dare to explore their un-lived potential and be FutureMakers.Today as Co-Founder & Chief Catalyst, Victoria leads FutureWomenX, committed to creating transformative impact on key issues, one of which is gender finance. She's led expeditions in New York, the African continent and Europe bringing international women in finance to work alongside entrepreneurs to bridge worlds and dive into the critical issues.Key messages from this conversation;- That you need a peer group who will hold you accountable to achieving your potential- That for many leaders, especially those with young children, the notion of ‘balance' is unhelpful. Try focusing on achieving flow between work and life, making the transitional periods as smooth as possible and the time on each side as productive as possible and can actually be generative for the other.- That in this age of radical disruption, we need leaders who are willing to confront that everything might need to change- To challenge yourself to make a shift and pursue your purpose, imagine a conversation with your future child. Would they want you to earn more or have more? Or to have made a choice that allows you to make a greater impact and do more good through your work.- Leaders cannot afford to be addicted to the want to want to change. Leaders need to want and are ready to do the change-work, to become the change.- To sustain ourselves as leaders, we all need reminders of what's important and what we are doing collectively to make the world better.- To be a great leader, you first need to go for it, get curious, and share what you're doing.To find out more about Victoria's work, you can message her via Linkedin (profile here) or explore the FutureWomenX website or enquire about joining the tribe here

From Greta Thunberg leading a group of young people in filing a lawsuit against five countries at the UN to the Hague Court of Appeals upholding a historic ruling against the Dutch government, increasing numbers of people are taking legal action together to demand governments do more.    And with various oil and gas companies being sued by US cities for costs of climate-related damages, today on Futuremakers, we’re asking: what does this rise in litigious climate action mean for society as we race to meet climate targets?   Joining Peter Millican on the panel today:   Fredi Otto, Acting Director of the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford, and a lead author on extremes in weather in the ongoing assessment report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC) Liz Fisher, Professor of Environmental Law at Oxford and General Editor of the Journal of Environmental Law Myles Allen, Professor of Geosystem Science, and a lead author on the IPCC’s Special Report on 1.5 degrees   Find out more about Oxford’s climate research at http://po.st/TruePlanet

For the first of five episodes of the Wells, Wires and Wheels podcasts, Mark Lewis introduces the concept of EROCI that is to say, Energy Return on Capital Invested 

Specialiștii în inteligență artificială, experții în energie verde sau inginerii de nanotehnologie vor fi la mare căutare în următorii ani. O spun futurologii, cercetătorii care încearcă să înțeleagă cum va arată lumea în viitor, care vor fi cele mai probabile scenarii și care ar fi eventualele soluțiile. Futurologul Ciprian Stănescu mai spune că tinerii vor fi mai puțini sensibili la presiunea sistemului și vor adopta o atitudine mai relaxată, dar constructivă în raport cu ambițiile lor profesionale. Între timp, tinerii deja vin cu idei inovative de afaceri, care sunt premiate la București la competițiile de business precum Social Impact Award and Future Makers. Astfel, apar diverse afaceri, de la aplicații pentru părinți care să-și gestioneze relația cu copilul, haine create din materiale reciclabile, printare 3D la scară industrială, prima bicicletă din bambus din lume și până la alegerea unei perechi de ochelari de vedere cu ajutorul unei aplicații de realitate augmentată. Apropo despre Future Summit de la București de anul acesta unde Ciprian este unul dintre speakeri, vedeți detalii aici.

For the fourth of five episodes of the Wells, Wires and Wheels podcasts, Mark Lewis explores the implications renewables have on policy makers and oil companies and the automotive industry. 

For the last of five episodes of the Wells, Wires and Wheels podcasts, Mark Lewis offers his conclusion as an investor on renewable energy vs fossil fuels. 

Many of our panellists in season two have described barriers that are standing in our way if we hope to restrict global warming to the 1.5 degrees C limit that the 2018 IPCC report outlined, and some have advocated how our current economic system could be used to overcome them. But can markets really provide a tool to promote necessary action? In this episode we ask; can we be green AND capitalist? Joining Professor Millican on this latest episode of Futuremakers are: Thomas Hale, Associate Professor in Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, Charmain Love, ‘Entrepreneur in Residence’ at the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at our Saïd Business School, and Ben Caldecott, Associate Professor at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment and founding Director of the Oxford Sustainable Finance Programme. And at the end of this episode there's a bonus conversation between Peter and Johan Rockström, joint director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany, who in 2009 led an international group of twenty eight leading academics, in proposing a new framework for government and management agencies as a precondition for sustainable development on the planet Earth.

Once we believed that the world around us behaved according to the laws of classical mechanics, and it took us hundreds of years to work out that actually something else was going on. Quantum computing offers what we believe to be the best way to process information based on the laws of physics as we now know them. But how did we discover that quantum mechanics could offer such developments in computing? And why did this realm remain hidden for so long? For this special episode of Futuremakers, Peter Millican, Professor of Philosophy, set out to discover the truth about a global race to develop the world’s first scalable quantum computer. He met a diverse range of researchers, who gave him their thoughts on the powerful next realm of computation their work opens up, via the fundamental building blocks, to the ultimate goal of a truly universal quantum computer. Keep listening to find out why there's a race to create this technology, if Oxford's researchers believe we'll ever achieve our goal, and what it could mean for society if we did.

In the final episode of our series, we’re looking back at the themes we’ve discussed so far, and forward into the likely development of AI. Professor Peter Millican will be joined by Professor Gil McVean, to further investigate how big data is transforming healthcare, by Dr Sandra Wachter, to discuss her recent work on the need for a legal framework around AI, and also by Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt on where the field of artificial intelligence research has come from, and where it’s going. To conclude, Peter will be sharing some of his views on where humanity is heading with AI, when you’ll also hear from his final guest, Azeem Azhar, host of the Exponential View podcast. Futuremakers will be taking a short break now, but we’ll be back with series two in the new year, when we’ll be taking on another of society’s grand challenges: building a sustainable future. Before then we’ll also be publishing a special one-off episode on Quantum Computing and the global opportunities, and risks, it could present.

Each episode features one of the shows and investigates a different aspect of the work of the Design School. In episode three, Dr Nicky Ryan explores the themes of the FutureMakers exhibition, in which designers and printmakers perform their making processes in public and interact with their audiences – meeting key participants Gareth Foote and Ling Chiu.

Most wine enthusiasts and professionals would be familiar with the name Max Allen, as for the past few decades he has been one of the foremost authorities on Australian wine. He has been a contributor to most of the countries important wine and food publications, and has himself penned a number of successful books including The Future Makers and Crush. He is such an advocate for authentic Australian wine that many may be unaware he is actually an ex-pat having emigrated here from England in the early 1990s! This partly explains his great passion for ciders, which we only briefly touched on in this fascinating chat about his background and philosophies on wine and wine communication.

John Shea and Piper Watson from the Station North Tool Library talk about their experience developing the Tool Library over the course of a year - the doors now having been open for two months.  They also share how they garnered support from the community, area organizations, and other lending libraries to set up this lending model to be a success and moving towards self-sustainability.Mary Murphy from the Center for a New American Dream introduces people to New Dream's how-to guides and webinars that support collaborative consumption and the local economy.  Her goal is to build New Dream teams of people who are actively engaged in sharing ventures and supporting local business throughout Maryland.Keynote speaker Corey Fleisher, “The Maker Revolution”Corey Fleischeris a senior mechanical engineer with almost ten years of practical, hands on experience, who's most recent list of accomplishments includes being chosen as a contestant on the Discovery Channel’s The Big Brain Theory:  Pure Genius and taking a leading role in the construction of a brand new Maker Space for the Baltimore area, The Foundery, slated to open to the public this summer.  As Corey's career path demonstrates, The Maker Revolution has been and continues to be an ever increasing driving force in today’s generation of inventors. Corey’s passions for engineering and scientific advancement have driven him to be a successful mechanical engineer who has received special recognitions from Lockheed Martin. This same passion, which Corey shares with so many other fellow Makers, is driving innovation and technological advancements in garages and backyards throughout the United States.During his presentation, Corey discusses this emerging trend; the role that local libraries and other social institutions play in its development; and its continued relevance for future generations of Makers. The Innovation Expo was sponsored by The Maryland State Department of Education Division of Library Development & Services, The Enoch Pratt Free Library/State Library Resource Center, FutureMakers, and the Object Lab at Towson University.
