“I think therefore I am.” ~DescartesJohn Jennifer adds: I care therefore we are… and you cannot think your way to ‘we'John Jennifer is a poet, an architect, and a cultural instigator. He helped create The Museum of No Spectators which includes Burning Man art of snark and social justice, but no velvet ropes. He's a paradox embracer. In a world of binaries, he asserts that between black and white is not a gradient of gray; between black and white is all the conceivable colors.Hear him philosophize about different styles of art and artists, from avant garde to architecture, from Salvador Dalí to Frank Lloyd Wright. They explore how a glittery clothespin alligator and a museum-grade sculpture both share the humanity of the giver.They explore playa art — genre-defying, genre-defining — and the value of both fine art and participatory art at Burning Man.They explore how creative expression went from being seen as a hobby to a human need, and how creative community proliferates.Listen in on their profound and playful chat.

TheAmer-Indians In this week's episode, Luke travels to the outer reaches of London's underground train network to meet James in Little Chalfont, to explore the places that increasing numbers of South Asian diasporas go when they move on from West London, and how they help transform those places and their cuisines. **Starters** (01.29-12-12) Ahead of their lunch with Vimal Dalal – a production editor on The Migration Menu and a one-time Southallian – James and Luke outline the history of post-World War II settlement in the suburbs and semi-rural towns that surround London. They discuss the appeal of such places – including the lure of selective school education – to those who first travelled from South Asia to London, settling in places like Southall, and the impact of these more recent movements on the suburban culinatry landscape. **Mains** (12:12-25:52) James and Luke meet Vimal outside The Kokum (www.thekokum.co.uk) for a pan-Indian inspired lunch, during which they hear the migration story of Vimal's family, from Gujarat and Tanzania, to Southall in the 1980s and, via Hayes, to Little Chalfont, a village near Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. **Dessert** (25:52-33:05) After lunch chat reflects on how the suburban curry house has been transformed by more recent waves of migration out from the inner cities, which have also expanded the range of South Asian groceries and vegetables available in local shops. New arrivals also find themselves supported by groups like the Amer-Indians, through which social events and business networks are co-ordinated. James and Luke also reflect on how a nostalgic vision of pre-war Britain came to be shared by some members of the South Asian diasporas who came to settle here. **The Menu** Masala Papad Palak Patta Chaat Tandoori Soya Chaap Mumbai Prawns Koliwada Malai Kofta Vegetable Handi Kombdi Rassa Jackfruit Dum Biryani Chilli Garlic Coriander Naan Works Cited: Baumann, Gerd. 1996.

If someone asked you how to become a Christian, would you know how to explain it with clarity and confidence? This week, we'll explore how to share the simple yet life-changing message of the gospel—the invitation to believe in Jesus and surrender to Him—so that others can discover the joy of new life and the hope of eternity with God.

It is possible to share our faith with both boldness and kindness. This week we'll unpack 1 Peter 3:15, where we're called to explain the hope we have “with gentleness and respect.” If the gospel is truly good news—bringing joy, hope, and love—then the way we share it should reflect the beauty and power of the message itself.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT LAW FIRM HOLIDAY GIFTING Holiday gift giving isn't something we usually talk about here, but it comes up every year for firms of every size. You want to show clients and friends of the firm that you appreciate them, and you want to stay connected in a meaningful way. The challenge is that what seems simple at first can raise questions about timing, budget, logistics, and even ethics. Cards and gifts can be a great opportunity to build relationships, but they can also backfire if they're rushed or impersonal. From digital vs. paper cards to whether a bottle of wine is really the best idea, small decisions can make a big difference. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge, Elise Holtzman talks with Beth Huffman about how law firms can get holiday gifting right. They cover why planning ahead matters, how to choose thoughtful options that reflect your clients, and what to do to avoid common missteps while keeping the process simple and impactful. 2:52 - The surprising headaches of holiday cards and how to avoid them 4:23 - Why one-size-fits-all gifts don't work (and what to do instead) 5:46 - Navigating hybrid and remote client addresses during the holidays 7:28 - Logistics gone wrong: shipping delays, customs, and alcohol restrictions 11:09 - How firm size shapes the gifting process (and who usually gets stuck with it) 12:33 - Digital vs. paper cards: what works best for different clients 13:47 - Creative alternatives to traditional gifts, from Thanksgiving pies to team lunches 16:55 - Making gifts personal without crossing professional lines 18:45 - Common pitfalls with branded items and how to avoid conflicts 19:48 - Why gifts don't have to wait until the holidays to make an impact 21:18 - Setting budgets and expectations around client gifts 23:13 - Using CRMs and simple systems to track client preferences year after year 25:19 - Regional and repeatable gift ideas that clients actually remember 27:06 - The most obvious - but most overlooked - tip for client appreciation MENTIONED IN HOLIDAY GIFTING FOR LAW FIRMS: AVOIDING PITFALLS AND MAKING IT PERSONAL Poston Communications  Beth Huffman on LinkedIn “The Holiday Gifting Dilemma: How Law Firms Can Get Gratitude Right,” The Legal Intelligencer PR: Building a Firm Store for Swag, Gifts and Giveaways Get connected with the coaching team: hello@thelawyersedge.com The Lawyer's Edge SPONSOR FOR THIS EPISODE Today's episode is brought to you by the Ignite Women's Business Development Accelerator, a 9-month business development program created BY women lawyers for women lawyers.

Sharing our faith isn't a church program or one-time event—it's a way of life. God invites us to live with a constant awareness of where He is at work around us and to be ready to join Him in those moments. As 1 Peter 3:15 reminds us, we are to “always be prepared to give an answer” when asked about the hope we have. Each of us has been uniquely created—with our own gifts, stories, and personalities—so we can share Jesus naturally and authentically in the way He designed us.
