Even before the fall, evil was in the garden. Then evil became full blown after the fall. But even before all this, God had written the story’s ending—“All the sad things will come untrue.” So we need not despair because when the time is right we’ll catch up to the end God has already written! Dr. Jeremy Grinnell earned his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Calvin Seminary in Grand Rapids, MI, and taught theology at a West Michigan seminary for nearly 15 years. He joins us again to answer bible questions! Jeff asks the first question: “If God created Adam and Eve, and the creation was good, why was an evil serpent allowed in the garden to tempt them.” Which leads to Jeremy’s quote, “The ending is written, we just have to catch up to it!” Then, “Why was Jesus turning water in to wine his first miracle.” Next, “Hebrews 12 says that God disciplines his children. Jesus took our punishment, so why does he still discipline us??” Next, “How do I overcome my resentment. I feel like I’m a prisoner to it!“ Then Dave shares, “I've been in a deep valley of depression and anxiety. Is it wrong to take medicine for depression or anxiety? Is taking medicine evidence that I’m not trusting God enough?” Also, Ronda asks, “What, if anything, does the Bible say about suicide.” And last Lucy asks, “When Paul wrote about the resurrection was he aware of John’s revelation?” And “If Jesus is equal with the Father why does Paul write that one day Jesus will be subject to the Father?” These are incredible questions, from incredible listeners, with incredible answers.

Former Florida police investigator James Byrd-Williams, Sr. recounts the story of his son's murder in 2020. 44-year-old Michael Williams was an African-American man living in the mostly White college town of Grinnell, Iowa, to be near his ex-wife and kids. Occurring just weeks after the George Floyd incident, Michael Williams' body was found strangled and burned in a ditch outside of town. Three people were later convicted.J.B. expresses his frustration with the thoroughness of the investigation and the fact that officials and the NAACP—eager to avoid any media attention of the type recently seen in Minneapolis—denied it was a hate crime, and avoided the word 'lynching' in describing the homicide.

The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is a cornerstone of wildlife management and conservation efforts in the United States and Canada. This model has played a critical role in the conservation and sustainable management of wildlife populations, shaping conservation policies and practices not only in North America but also influencing global conservation strategies. This essay explores the history of the North American Model, its self-sufficient funding mechanisms, key founders, its influence on other countries, and modern applications. Historical Background The origins of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period when unregulated hunting, habitat destruction, and market hunting had severely depleted wildlife populations. Prominent conservationists recognized the urgent need for a structured approach to wildlife conservation. Theodore Roosevelt, a former U.S. president and passionate outdoorsman, played a pivotal role in the conservation movement, establishing national parks and wildlife refuges. George Bird Grinnell, an influential naturalist and editor, co-founded the Boone and Crockett Club with Roosevelt in 1887, advocating for the protection of wildlife and their habitats. Aldo Leopold, often regarded as the father of wildlife ecology, furthered the cause with his seminal work "A Sand County Almanac," emphasizing the ethical responsibility humans have toward the natural world. The conservation movement gained momentum with the establishment of the Boone and Crockett Club, which was instrumental in advocating for wildlife protection laws and the creation of protected areas. The passage of the Lacey Act in 1900, which prohibited the interstate transport of illegally taken wildlife, marked a significant legislative milestone in conservation history. Self-Sufficient Funding Mechanisms One of the unique aspects of the North American Model is its self-sufficient funding mechanisms, primarily through the "user-pays, public-benefits" approach. This system ensures that those who utilize wildlife resources contribute directly to their conservation. The model's funding mechanisms are largely derived from hunting and fishing licenses, permits, and excise taxes on hunting, fishing, and boating equipment. The Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937 and the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950 are pivotal in this funding strategy. These acts impose excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, fishing tackle, and related equipment, with the collected funds being allocated to state wildlife agencies for conservation efforts. This financial framework has generated billions of dollars for wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, and research, creating a sustainable source of funding that has enabled continuous and effective wildlife management. Key Founders The success of the North American Model can be attributed to the collaborative efforts of key founders and various stakeholders, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, and the public. The dedication of early conservationists like Theodore Roosevelt, George Bird Grinnell, and Aldo Leopold laid the foundation for modern wildlife conservation. Roosevelt's establishment of national parks and refuges, Grinnell's advocacy through the Boone and Crockett Club, and Leopold's pioneering ecological research and writings all contributed to the development and implementation of the model. These visionaries recognized the intrinsic value of wildlife and natural habitats and worked tirelessly to ensure their protection for future generations. Government agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state wildlife agencies, alongside their Canadian counterparts, have played crucial roles in implementing conservation programs, enforcing regulations, and managing wildlife habitats. Non-profit organizations, including the Boone and Crockett Club, the Wildlife Management Institute, Ducks Unlimited, and the National Wildlife Federation, have been instrumental in advocacy, education, and funding for conservation projects. Hunters and anglers, as primary funders of conservation through license fees and excise taxes, have also been pivotal in supporting and promoting sustainable wildlife management practices. Influence on Other Countries The principles and practices of the North American Model have had a significant impact on wildlife conservation efforts worldwide. Countries in Africa, Europe, and Asia have looked to this model as a blueprint for developing their own conservation strategies. The emphasis on sustainable use, science-based management, and the involvement of local communities has resonated globally. Learn more Here: https://youtu.be/yEmr1zGwi3g For instance, the community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) programs in southern Africa draw heavily from the North American Model. These programs empower local communities to manage and benefit from wildlife resources, promoting conservation through sustainable use and local stewardship. By adopting the user-pays approach and involving local stakeholders, these programs have successfully balanced conservation goals with the economic needs of communities. Modern Applications In contemporary times, the North American Model continues to evolve to address emerging conservation challenges. Climate change, habitat fragmentation, and biodiversity loss require adaptive management strategies and innovative solutions. Urban wildlife management has become increasingly important as urban areas expand, necessitating programs focused on coexisting with urban wildlife, reducing human-wildlife conflicts, and preserving urban green spaces. Modern technology, including GPS tracking, remote sensing, and data analytics, enhances wildlife monitoring, research, and management, providing valuable insights into wildlife behavior, habitat use, and population dynamics. Conclusion The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation stands as a testament to the power of collaborative, science-based, and sustainably funded conservation efforts. Its historical roots, innovative funding mechanisms, and the dedication of key founders and stakeholders have not only preserved North America's rich wildlife heritage but also served as an inspiration for global conservation initiatives.

Just when you thought you were out, The Daily Poem pulls you back in–to poems about movies. Today's charming and earnest poem imitates the medium it describes (film) by swapping memorable images and sensations for linear propositions. Happy reading.Amy Clampitt was born and raised in New Providence, Iowa. She studied first at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, and later at Columbia University and the New School for Social Research in New York City. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Clampitt held various jobs at publishers and organizations such as Oxford University Press and the Audubon Society. In the 1960s, she turned her attention to poetry. In 1974 she published a small volume of poetry titled Multitudes, Multitudes; thereafter her work appeared frequently in the New Yorker. Upon the publication of her book of poems The Kingfisher in 1983, she became one of the most highly regarded poets in America. Her other collections include A Silence Opens (1994), Westward (1990), What the Light Was Like (1985), and Archaic Figure (1987). Clampitt received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Academy of American Poets. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Clampitt taught at the College of William and Mary, Amherst College, and Smith College.Joseph Parisi, a Chicago Tribune Book World reviewer, called the poet's sudden success after the publication of The Kingfisher “one of the most stunning debuts in recent memory.” Parisi continued, “throughout this bountiful book, her wit, sensibility and stylish wordplay seldom disappoint.” In one of the first articles to appear after The Kingfisher's debut, New York Review of Books critic Helen Vendler wrote that “Amy Clampitt writes a beautiful, taxing poetry. In it, thinking uncoils and coils again, embodying its perpetua argument with itself.” Georgia Review contributor Peter Stitt also felt that “The Kingfisher is … in many ways an almost dazzling performance.” In the Observer, Peter Porter described Clampitt as “a virtuoso of the here and the palpable.” Porter ranked her with the likes of Emily Dickinson and Elizabeth Bishop.Critics praised the allusive richness and syntactical sophistication of Clampitt's verse. Her poetry is characterized by a “baroque profusion, the romance of the adjective, labyrinthine syntax, a festival lexicon,” said New York Times Book Review contributor Alfred Corn in an article about Clampitt's second important collection, What the Light Was Like (1985). Indeed, the poet's use of vocabulary and syntax is elaborate. “When you read Amy Clampitt,” suggests Richard Tillinghast in the New York Times Book Review, “have a dictionary or two at your elbow.” The poet has, Tillinghast continues, a “virtuoso command of vocabulary, [a] gift for playing the English language like a musical instrument and [a] startling and delightful ability to create metaphor.” Her ability as a poet quickly gained Clampitt recognition as “the most refreshing new American poet to appear in many years,” according to one Times Literary Supplement reviewer.Clampitt's work is also characterized by erudite allusions, for which she provides detailed footnotes. Times Literary Supplement critic Lachlan Mackinnon compared her “finical accuracy of description and the provision of copious notes at the end of a volume,” to a similar tendency in the work of Marianne Moore. “She is as ‘literary' and allusive as Eliot and Pound, as filled with grubby realia as William Carlos Williams, as ornamented as Wallace Stevens and as descriptive as Marianne Moore,” observed Corn. Washington Post reviewer Joel Conarroe added Walt Whitman and Hart Crane to this list of comparable poets: “Like Whitman, she is attracted to proliferating lists as well as to ‘the old thought of likenesses,'” wrote Conarroe. “And as in Crane her compressed images create multiple resonances of sound and sense.”What the Light Was Like centers around images of light and darkness. This book is “more chastely restrained than The Kingfisher,” according to Times Literary Supplement contributor Neil Corcoran. Conarroe believed that the poet's “own imagery throughout [the book] is sensuous (even lush) and specific—in short, Keatsian.” Corn similarly commented that “there are stirring moments in each poem, and an authentic sense of Keats' psychology.” He opined, however, that “her sequence [‘Voyages: A Homage to John Keats‘] isn't effective throughout, the reason no doubt being that her high-lyric mode” does not suit narrative as well as a plainer style would.Clampitt's Archaic Figure (1987) maintains her “idiosyncratic style,” as William Logan called it in the Chicago Tribune. New York Times Book Review contributor Mark Rudman noted the poet's “spontaneity and humor; she is quick to react, hasty, impulsive, responsive to place—and to space.” In the London Sunday Times, David Profumo further praised Archaic Figure. Taking the example of the poem “Hippocrene,” the critic asserted that this work “demonstrates her new powers of economy, the sureness of her rhythmic touch and the sheer readability of her magnificent narrative skills.” “Amy Clampitt,” concluded Logan, “has become one of our poetry's necessary imaginations.”Clampitt died in Lenox, Massachusetts in 1994.

When starting a business, there are several key things to consider, like marketing strategies and financial planning. In the early stages, it's crucial to reach a wide audience to make your business known. What are some effective ways to make an impact and connect with potential clients? Join us in this episode with Nicole Grinnel, an entrepreneur, CEO, and podcast host. We discussed the benefits of guesting on podcasts, especially for early-stage businesses for growth and connection, as well as having an entrepreneurial mindset and remote work flexibility, such as virtual assistants. Tune in to gain valuable insights! --- Listen to the podcast here: Podcasting as a Business Growth Strategy with Nicole Grinnell Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. I've advocated quite a bit on this podcast about kind of embracing a new way of thinking and I think one of the things that we've often thought about in the past is that when someone is doing something similar to what you're doing, you see them as a competitor, as someone that's kind of possibly occupying your space. But there's a saying that the market's only saturated when you're trying to be someone else and it's not necessarily saturated with you. So, I'm always here to support other people on the same journey, and the journey I'm talking about today is showcasing the stories of people who start their businesses or showcasing the stories of people who follow their passions very much here. So, my guest today, Nicole Grinnell, is the host of Mic'd Up, another podcast, as well as a two-time business founder. --- Nicole, welcome to the program. Thanks so much for having me, Stephen. I'm excited to be here. Well, thank you so much for popping on. And let's first start by talking about Mic'd Up. Now, your podcast has been around for quite some time, even longer than this one. Yeah. So we have, obviously, like our actual show, and then we really serve as a booking agency to get other people on podcasts, which is a way that we've actually grown multiple businesses and supported a lot of businesses in that effort and so we really want to do much like the purpose of your show is show other ways that businesses can grow through different avenues and what other people have done and that's what Mic'd Up plans to do. Nice. And so I guess the first question I have for you about that is, if someone is starting a business or trying to get any of their initiatives noticed, and I want to be all inclusive, not every initiative is a business but want to get something noticed, how should someone be thinking about podcasts? I hear people have advocating, say, start your own podcast or try to be on other podcasts. What's the best way for someone to think through a strategy as far as building their business that involves the podcasting medium? So, it's funny because I always say there's a time and place for either of those. It really depends on the stage you're at in business. So, when you are just starting out and you're really trying to build your name, build pipelines, build relationships, that's a great time to be in a guesting space because, really, what happens is the show is all about you. So, I compare it to having someone over for dinner. What's easier, being the guest or being the host? When you're the guest, it's all about you, they're doing all the prep, the legwork, they're promoting it, they're all of this, that's really what guesting can be. When you're in the hosting space, that's a great time for when you are a seasoned entrepreneur, a seasoned professional, business is running, you've got some great pipelines and now you're kind of at that stage that you want to give back and you want to be able to naturally connect. That's a great time to be a host. So it really depends on that scale that you're in and what that looks like for you.
On today's episode of Empowered in Health, I interview Dana Grinnell. I have been so excited to partner with her more and share her knowledge with all of you. Dana is a 40-something mother of 3 who lives & loves recreating in the mountains. She worked in healthcare for 17 years where she witnessed the rampant chronic illness in our country and became very passionate about uncovering the root causes and avoiding them to keep myself and my family safe. Turns out toxins are everywhere!!!! And can wreak havoc on our health if we aren't careful. Speaking of careful, Dana was incredibly diligent for over a decade and a half when she had an unfortunate (or fortunate depending on how you look at it) laundry detergent incident that prompted her to start her business, Free Living Co. She was returning from a routine trip to Costco when her laundry detergent leaked in the back of the car and turned a radioactive purple color. It dawned on her that it was a chemical reaction that caused that and sure enough the detergent was highly toxic. Here's the link where you can read more about the story on The Cooldown: https://www.thecooldown.com/green-home/spilled-laundry-detergent-car-trunk-color-change/ Dana shares that it's almost impossible to keep up with all the ingredients that cause harm, reading the labels is time intensive, and you simply can't trust natural or "healthy" stores or brand's marketing claims. Because of this - she decided to build a business to solve this problem and make homes healthier without the hassle. Tune in to today's episode to hear more of Dana's incredible perspective, key tips and simple, manageable steps you can take to start cleaning up the products in your home, for your health.

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack asks Xochitl why she never learned to drive.Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we are going to do a topic talk episode and the episode is why social never learned to drive so social, why didn't you ever learn to drive?00:00:19XochitlJack, this is actually a really interesting thing that I've been thinking about a lot lately because I still haven't learned to drive. Answer those who are not familiar with American culture, getting their license was a main staple of American culture up until.00:00:34JackMHM.00:00:35XochitlAround my generation.00:00:39XochitlRight, so people who are like denzi, millennial cuspers or genzi or very, very young millennials, like still in their 20s can all kind of relate to this. There's a shift. There was a shift in the culture and everyone.00:00:57XochitlIt was so much less common to get your license.00:01:01XochitlVersus it used to be that everyone got their license as soon as they could, because that kind of meant freedom. And I Jack, you can speak more to that than I can.00:01:09JackYeah, like your 16th birthday is a huge landmark in a young man's. Ohh. And and and and for young women too. In in, in my generation I'm 47 now. When I turned 16, I was like the next day I was at the the Department of Motor Vehicles.00:01:30JackTaking my my drivers test, you know to get my license because.00:01:35JackI wanted to borrow my dad's car and go places with my friends and it was like a whole world just opened up.00:01:44JackFor me.00:01:46JackAnd yeah.00:01:46XochitlYeah, crazy. Go ahead. Go ahead, Jack.00:01:48JackYeah, that's it basically. I mean, you're, you're you, you, you, you, you know, you can only walk so far, ride a bike so far.00:01:57JackAnd also it's embarrassing. It was kind of, we'll say, cringy to ride a bike after 16 in in America, which nowadays every people love their.00:02:06발표자Right.00:02:10JackYou know, so that's that's that's changed too. But yeah, when you turned 16 in America, when you turn 16 in America, you are old enough to drive, which is crazy to me because we can't drink till you're 21 and you can join the military when you're 18. But.00:02:30JackIt's it's very strange.00:02:31XochitlIf that I like to think.00:02:32JackYeah, you can go fight and die in a war, but you can't have a a beer, you know, it's.00:02:38XochitlYou can even drive.00:02:39XochitlAt 14, in some states like Iowa.00:02:41JackYeah, there's, I guess some are really young. I mean, my daughter's 15. So she's old enough to get her learner's permit, which means she could drive if I'm in the car with her.00:02:53XochitlRight, which is busy.00:02:53JackUh.00:02:54JackBut she lives near Miami in the South of Florida. I would never let her drive in a million years down there. It's a it's a hot mess down there. It's crazy.00:03:01발표자Thanks.00:03:05XochitlYeah. Dallas. Yeah, I I think the reason the main reasons I didn't get my license was a couple things. One, I had to stay at home, Mom.00:03:16XochitlWhich meant she could kind of give me rides to school most.00:03:20XochitlOr from school most days and I took the bus. Other than that, I think I mostly I took the bus to school so they do. You do? Consider it lame, I guess after a certain age to take the bus to school, but I really.00:03:33XochitlDidn't.00:03:33XochitlCare about that. So I would just think, yeah.00:03:37JackYeah.00:03:38JackThat, that, that separates you from the the fact that you don't. You didn't care is really cool. Actually, I find that that cool. You're like what? I don't care what people think about me. Like, whatever. You know, it's a mature attitude.00:03:50XochitlYeah, I lived there.00:03:54XochitlYeah. So, so that was one thing. So I would just take the bus. And two, we only had one car, so the whole family. So my dad would ride his bike to work, and most days cause his job wasn't too far. And he liked riding his bike to.00:04:11XochitlStay in shape.00:04:12XochitlAnd my mom had the car kind of at home, so whatever.00:04:15XochitlLike in case you need to come pick us up in an emergency or we got sick or whatever. So she was a stay at home Mom. So most of the time until I hit my senior year of.00:04:24XochitlThe school. And so when I hit my senior year of high school, she got a a job outside the home and then she would sometimes drive to work. But other times she would walk. So our family was really big on, like, environmental footprint, which for our listeners who don't know, it's like your.00:04:44XochitlImpact on the environment and being like.00:04:47XochitlEcologically friendly and all that stuff. So like my parents were kind of hippies in that sense.00:04:51XochitlBefore it was.00:04:52XochitlCool and and because of that, that was another reason that.00:04:52발표자Hello.00:05:03XochitlThat I didn't put that much focus on driving, I think.00:05:06JackYeah, yeah, yeah. You kind of. You know, if if it's really important to your if your dad's, like, mechanically inclined and, you know, into cars, you you might be more.00:05:19JackUM.00:05:21JackDetermined to to want to drive, you know.00:05:25XochitlWell, actually, my dad was.00:05:27XochitlReally mechanically inclined, like he had this old car before he got married to my mom and he would spend all his time fixing up on it and he had like all these expensive tools, but he would just also kind of a like a hippie or an original hipster.00:05:39XochitlThey cared a lot about, like his impact on the environment. Yeah, I would. That was probably the big driver behind one of the big.00:05:46XochitlDrivers.00:05:47JackThat's really cool.00:05:47XochitlAnd then.00:05:49XochitlYeah, I went away to college when I was. I just turned 18. When I went to College in Grinnell, IA. And it's a really small campus. And you live on campus, like all four years. So I didn't need to drive anywhere at all because we would just be in town and.00:06:03JackRight.00:06:09XochitlUh people don't know sometimes, but College in the US, you can live in the dorms, which means that your classes are like a block away, and then the dining hall is also right there. If you live on campus, you have to have, like, a dining plan. So you eat all your meals in the dining hall. They're prepared for you, and you just go in there and serve like.00:06:16JackRight.00:06:28XochitlDo for yourselves. So I didn't need to go grocery shopping. There was like nothing I really needed to do.00:06:36JackYeah. Then you kind of miss that window where you know, you go through drivers Ed in high school, you get ready for the test. You take the drivers test, you take the written test, you take the high test, and if you miss that window, it gets really awkward there. When you're in your early 20s and you just never learned.00:06:36XochitlI yeah.00:06:56JackHow to it's kind of like never learning to swim. It's kind of like people that miss that window when they don't learn when they're a kid.00:06:59XochitlThen.00:07:03JackAnd tend to kind of avoid water when they're they're older, they're just like it's too late for me to.00:07:10JackTo learn this, so I guess I'm just not going to do this activity.00:07:16XochitlYeah, cause I just got more and more like less and less important for me to have to drive. I like moved to Mexico for a little bit. I didn't need to drive at all because you could walk everywhere or take public transport everywhere. And then I moved.00:07:28JackYeah.00:07:30XochitlI finished college, so I took a gap year. I finished college and I was again I was in Grinnell again, so I didn't have to go anywhere. Then out the gate from college, I worked at a law firm and my apartment was across the street. This was a coincidence. I ended up renting an apartment across the street from where I worked. So there's a 2 minute walk and there's a grocery store like.00:07:47JackOhh, that's awesome so lucky.00:07:51XochitlAnother two minutes from me, so I also didn't have to learn.00:07:54XochitlThen.00:07:55XochitlAnd then I moved to Korea.00:07:58XochitlAnd I use public transport to go everywhere.00:08:01JackYeah, you don't need a car in Korea. You that has a wonderful public transport.00:08:05XochitlYeah. And then I moved back to Mexico and again, public transport is great and cheap, so I didn't need to drive and now I I'm in the US and I'm like, oh, it would be great if I could drive because it's such a pain to walk everywhere. But I.00:08:21JackYeah, you live in the suburbs, man. You have to walk 5 miles to the grocery store. You know, the nearest Walmart or.00:08:28JackSomething.00:08:28XochitlYeah. So it's kind of like, so I missed the window. But again, I think another thing that's interesting for my generation is like we don't really need to know how to drive that much because there's so many ride sharing apps now like Uber.00:08:41XochitlAnd.00:08:41XochitlLyft and things like that. So it sort of changed things. And the city that I live in, our public transport.00:08:42JackYep.00:08:49XochitlSystem is 3 actually.00:08:51XochitlIn Iowa City, so you can take the bus 3 anywhere, which kind of discourages you from having to drive.00:09:00JackYeah. And if you don't mind, you know, taking extra time on your trip. It's it's it's OK. Like my generation. We're so and it's if I can't get in my car and get there in 5 minutes, it's it's. I'm I'm. I'm whining. I'm frowning. You know, I'm like, oh, woe is me, you know, kind of attitude.00:09:06XochitlYeah.00:09:20JackBut it's just because I'm so used to the convenience of just hopping in my car and just getting where I want to go immediately and.00:09:21XochitlThanks.00:09:29XochitlSo I think one thing that another thing that's really interesting about all of this, Jack.00:09:32XochitlIs like that.00:09:34XochitlI wanted to ask you, since you do drive is.00:09:39XochitlI have all these reasons that make sense, but underneath all of that is that I also didn't ever want to drive because I was. I had really bad anxiety about driving.00:09:51JackHmm.00:09:52XochitlAnd I was scared, too scared to learn how to drive for years. And I'm not the only one. A lot of people in my generation view it this way like.00:10:00XochitlYou're in a metal contraption that goes crazy speeds on on the road with a bunch of other people and the same type of machine. It's just like a recipe for disaster. It's insane that it's so easy to get your license and drive and everything.00:10:16XochitlAnd the reason that I think we all think this.00:10:18XochitlWay I was thinking a lot about it.00:10:20XochitlAnd there were these. There were these public service announcements they would play in, in middle schools and elementary schools and high schools for us. So my generation and they have like, don't text while you drive or don't do this while they drive. And they were just public safety announcements to stop.00:10:40XochitlTeenagers from doing reckless things while driving because you can drive before the age of 18 so they would play these in middle schools and high schools. The problem was it would depict these really horrible car crashes and people dying and like I'm pretty sure that traumatized. I think that may have traumatized.00:10:52JackYes. Yeah.00:10:59XochitlMy generation.00:11:01JackI think you.00:11:02JackThey showed us those videos to you in drivers Ed and uh, you know, to to make us understand the the seriousness of what we were.00:11:11JackWhat we were doing and how you're basically you're, you're driving a giant bullet around.00:11:17JackAnd if you hit someone you it will destroy your life. I mean you you could.00:11:24JackYou could take a life very easily in a car and uh, I mean, you drive long enough. I've I had a a terrible accident, totaled my car on the freeway. I I I I wasn't injured very badly, but I could have been killed very, very easily and.00:11:43XochitlI'll sorry to ask you that random like.00:11:45JackYeah, this this happened. Uh, maybe six or seven years ago on the Korean freeway. And if you know the Korean freeway, it's people are driving, you know, a hundred 100 and.00:11:48발표자Oh.00:11:59Jack2200 and 3000 and 40 kilometers an hour and and I went.00:12:06JackSideways across the traffic, 6 lanes of traffic backwards. It wasn't my fault. I was hit by a truck and then I did a 360 and and smashed into the into a wall. Luckily it was backwards, so it wasn't the front of my car that hit the.00:12:26JackRetaining wall, it was the back of my car, but then the fact that I didn't get hit by other people who were flying you.00:12:33JackYou know who are coming at that same time, it was just a. It was just a I was so lucky. I just. Just.00:12:41XochitlI'm a miracle, yeah.00:12:42JackIt was a miracle that I didn't get hurt or killed in that in that accident.00:12:48XochitlWas effective too.00:12:50JackWhat's that?00:12:52XochitlDid the truck driver also survive this?00:12:54JackThe truck driver didn't even know that he hit me. I think he luckily pulled over and they found paint on the side of his truck that matched my paint. So he what happened was there was a truck that was, that was filled with too many things in it and the.00:13:09JackAnd blew it into my lane and he clipped my my front end or I'm sorry, my back end and caused me to start 360 and spinning around and and lose control of my car and go across 6 lanes of of freeway traffic.00:13:30JackAt 6:30 in the morning in Korea, which is right before rush hour, and it was, it was a miracle. It was an absolute miracle that.00:13:39XochitlThis is, uh, one of the reasons that I don't even want to drive.00:13:44JackYeah.00:13:45XochitlWell, I wanna ask you is is.00:13:49발표자How?00:13:49XochitlDo you get back in your car every day after something like that happened?00:13:54JackYeah, I mean, it was. Well, that car I never did get back in that car that they told that one off to the junkyard. No, but.00:13:58XochitlRight, right, right.00:14:04JackThat's a good question. You know, I I guess I just.00:14:08JackI think what I did was like compartmentalized the the situation. I kind of put that like situation in a box and pushed it far back in my brain somewhere where it was hit.00:14:20JackIn a way.00:14:21JackAnd I knew that if I didn't get back in the car and start driving again, I may never drive. So I just forced myself to.00:14:31JackUh to to drive again and I was just extra extra careful for a long time. I did. And now I drive like a granny. You know, I used to be more aggressive, you know, and really impatient and get really angry. And then I now I really try to be Zen in my car and just be like, OK, someone wants to cut me off, let them go.00:14:51JackJust you know.00:14:53JackJust don't be aggressive when you drive, be a defensive driver, not not an offensive driver. You have to be defensive looking, always looking around. What do you see? Is there like a kid playing with the ball on the side of the road? Alright, let's keep that in my mind because if that ball rolls in front of my car, that kid might.00:15:12JackChase that ball.00:15:13JackAnd you know, I mean you have to be you. You have to really be scanning your environment and really present. And that's why I've got become a much worse driver as I've gotten older is I tend to get tunnel vision. I start to kind of.00:15:28JackMy mind starts to wander and I'm just kind of on autopilot and especially when you drive to work the same way every day, you know, and you can get. Here's a good word for our listeners complacent. It's where you get lazy and you stop being vigilant and you stop being.00:15:49JackFocused and looking out for everything. And so you know, if I. If you told me, you know, Jack, you never have to drive again. But you can always have a ride somewhere.00:16:00JackI would take that deal in a second because I hate driving now. I've been driving for 30 years. I'm, I'm done. You know, like I'm, I. I'm it's not interesting to me anymore, but I I do need a car because I need to get to work.00:16:20JackAnd taking the bus is takes me an hour longer to get there than it would if I just drive my car. So I I do appreciate the convenience of it, but I.00:16:32JackI don't like driving and I do worry about other drivers who are being stupid or what if I don't pay attention at one moment and something happens? Or what if something just happens accidentally? Those things really do freak me out, and so I don't know. Hopefully the future.00:16:53JackIt's like automated driving, where no one's really in control.00:16:59JackAccept.00:17:00JackSome computer system AI system that's just kind of moving your car where you want it, where where it should go at a nice safe speed connected to all the other cars and and and, you know, get rid of this the human element because human beings are very unpredictable and there are some that drive.00:17:21JackLike psychos, you know, maniacs and others that Dr. responsibly and sometimes you just can't avoid an accident. And yeah, you have to. Really. I mean, that's why we have insurance.00:17:35JackBut God forbid I, you know, hurt somebody or killed somebody. I don't know how I would live with that.00:17:44XochitlI know I. That's the things that really kill me about the idea of UM.00:17:51XochitlOf driving. It's like I I really can't get past that. I think I I think because we're so close to fully automated vehicles, I may never drive. I may never drive. I may wait until we get there because I'm OK with walking places.00:18:00JackYeah.00:18:10XochitlGetting Uber or taking public transport. But but I do kind of crave the freedom other people get when they drive, like it would be nice if I had a car and I could just hop in a car and drive six hours. Any place you know, like like a day trip.00:18:25JackYeah, it's really convenient. I I love the convenience of having a car. I I would be lying if I if I said, you know, getting groceries. You know, you could just put them in there. You don't have to carry the groceries half a mile back to your house.00:18:40JackBut you know, New Yorkers, they there's they don't need cars, you know, they can get around people who live in Seoul can get around. People live in Mexico, can get around. I think you're going to be just fine without a car.00:18:55JackAnd.00:18:57JackYeah.00:18:58XochitlYeah. Well, listeners, let us know. Are you scared of driving like me or do you drive like Jack does and.00:19:07XochitlWhat is the driving culture like in your country? Do you feel like it's safe and and have you learned to drive at an age appropriate time or not? Let us know in the comments at 8zenglishpodcast.com.

Source: FBI.gov On August 23, 1992, Tammy J. Zywicki departed Evanston, Illinois, for college in Grinnell, Iowa, where she was expected to arrive that evening. Later that day, Zywicki's car was found by an Illinois State Trooper and ticketed as being abandoned. On August 24, 1992, the vehicle was towed by the Illinois State Police. On that same evening, Zywicki's mother contacted the Illinois State Police and advised them that her daughter had not arrived at college. On September 1, 1992, Zywicki's body was located along Interstate Highway 44 (I-44) in rural Lawrence County, Missouri, which is located between Springfield and Joplin, Missouri. She had been stabbed to death. Zywicki was reportedly last seen with her car (shown above) at mile marker 83 on I-80 in Central Illinois between 3:10 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on August 23, 1992. It was also reported that a tractor/trailer was seen near Zywicki's vehicle during this period. The driver of the tractor/trailer is described as a white male between 35 and 40 years of age, over six feet tall, with dark, bushy hair. Some of the victim's personal property is known to be missing, including a Cannon 35mm camera and a musical wristwatch. The watch is Lorus brand, with a green umbrella on its face and a green band. The watch plays the tune "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head."

“My husband and I were baptized when we were children. We both strayed from God in our teen/young adult years and got married during the end of that season. My question is should we get re-baptized as a married couple or is there no need?” Dr. Jeremy Grinnell earned his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Calvin Seminary in Grand Rapids, MI, and taught theology at Cornerstone Seminaryfor nearly 15 years. In this episode Perry and Shawna listeners ask Jeremy their bible questions, like the one above. Here are the other questions Dr. Grinnell takes on today: When did Jesus become perfect? Was he sinless from conception or did he have to reach the point of being sinlessly pure? Do right-now world events point to Jesus coming back within months or a couple years? Why does the Catholic Bible and Ethiopian Bible have more books than the traditional 66 in the vast majority of translations? And why is the Ethiopian Bible rarely seen or used in the west? In Jesus’ day the phrase “Abraham's bosom” was where believers went when they died. Was this the same place as heaven where believers go now? In short, where did believers go before Christ came? Next, was Lazarus raised from the dead more than once? Then, in Genesis 10 the writer refers to Noah's descendants as having different languages. But it wasn’t until Genesis 11 that God confused the languages. Is this a mistake of biblical proportions? Last, Leviticus 27 indicates that God assigned a monetary value to humans. Men were worth most, then women, then children. Doesn’t this show that God discriminates??Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you know what your worldview is? A worldview is like your mental roadmap for understanding life. It’s a set of beliefs and ideas that shape how you see the world, what you think is important, and how you make decisions. Your culture, religion and experiences help to create your unique worldview. Dr. Jeremy Grinnell joins us to help us understand what a Christian worldview is, and how to live into it. Dr. Grinnell has his PhD in Systematic Theology from Calvin Seminary, he taught at Cornerstone Seminary in Grand Rapids, MI. He’s a bible teacher, a fantasy novelist, a stage and voice actor and has his own amazing story of redemption. Check it out at BellowingOfCain.com. Dr. Grinnell helps us understand the central points of a Christian worldview; what is unique about a Christian worldview compared to opposing worldviews, such as Modernity and Post-Modernity. Dr. Grinnell also takes some questions from listeners like Chris, who asks “How do I translate this out of the academic conversation for my kids?”Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack play a game to see how well they know each other. Keep score as you listen because we lost track during the early portion of the game. lol!Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the A to Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I am here today with my co-host social. And today we're going to do a topic talk game edition and this one the game is social. This is really easy. It's how well do you know your podcasting partner so?00:00:20XochitlI'm sure I'm going to feel this one miserably because like I, I have a very poor memory.00:00:28XochitlAnd Jack has a pretty good memory, so I'm waiting to feel this one miserably.00:00:33JackYou're also. You're also very open. You know what?00:00:36JackI mean like you share.00:00:37JackA lot of personal anecdotes and stories and things like that. So along the way I'm able to, you know, pick up little pieces of of of your your life.00:00:47JackSorry and I think I'm maybe more closed off or you know, a a colder, more Stonewall individual, you know, so.00:00:57XochitlMaybe yeah, I have. I have picked up things throughout the time, but usually question that I ask you and then you share, so it's.00:01:06XochitlLike I.00:01:07JackYeah, it's not just.00:01:08발표자Think you know?00:01:10JackYeah, sharing is caring.00:01:13JackAlright, here we go.00:01:13발표자You know.00:01:16JackThe first one, what's your? What's my?00:01:18JackLast name social.00:01:19XochitlOh, McBain, that's easy.00:01:21JackOK. And your last name is muterspaw. OK and you have two names actually it says now here's the bonus question. What's your middle name?00:01:24XochitlYes, that's right.00:01:33JackSo what's my middle name?00:01:36XochitlWhat is your real name, Daniel?00:01:40JackYou're so close. You're so close.00:01:42XochitlI'm really close, I'm actually close.00:01:43XochitlOh my God, Donald.00:01:45발표자Yes. How did you know that?00:01:47XochitlI don't know you just you kind of seemed like a Daniel and he said.00:01:50XochitlIt was close and I.00:01:51XochitlThought, but it kind of like, I don't know. I just kind of.00:01:54XochitlCame to me. Am I psychic?00:01:55JackThat's amazing. My middle name is Donald. I'm Jack. Donald McBain? Yeah.00:02:00XochitlWow, that's really cool. I feel like a psychic now. It's like you better watch out. I have magical powers.00:02:03JackThat that was.00:02:05JackThat was freaky. That was.00:02:08JackI'm going to guess your middle name is Emily, but because you have two names, you have social as your your ethnic Mexican name. Or is it a Mexican name? You said it was actually like.00:02:24XochitlIs masters and it's indigenous, yeah.00:02:24JackAztecs. Yeah. Indigenous. Thank you. That was the word I'm looking for. Is Emily considered your middle name then?00:02:32XochitlIt's kind of a trick question on me. I'm actually Emily social and not social Emily, but I.00:02:38XochitlGo by my middle name.00:02:40JackOK.00:02:41JackOK, so I got it. I got it flipped around. OK. Emily. Social. Yeah, I mean, social is such a cool name. I totally get why you use that.00:02:50XochitlI was. I just grew up being called social onlys at home. The only reason that Emily was my first name or is my first name is because my parents, since I grew up in the US, mostly they wanted, like, be like teachers and stuff to be able to say a name if they couldn't pronounce social. So.00:03:10XochitlUmm. Or couldn't wrap their brains around it, so that was really why I had Emily. But I don't use it, like, ever pretty and I and I also use school. I used social too. I didn't want to use Emily.00:03:23JackHow many teachers were like in the first day of class were?00:03:26JackLike Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, chital.00:03:29XochitlYeah, no one could. They didn't know at all. They would just as soon as there was a long, uncomfortable pause. I knew it was.00:03:29JackYou know something like that, like.00:03:35XochitlMy name and I would just pipe up.00:03:36JackYou just you say it. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's really actually, once you say your name, it's so easy to say, you know, like, so chill. It's just super simple.00:03:46JackBut it's just hard to read a.00:03:48JackLittle bit, when you when you don't know.00:03:49XochitlYeah, but if you're not familiar with the fanatics of.00:03:54XochitlAztec names, then. Yeah, it's definitely very hard. It doesn't look like anything we have, like in English phonetics. So.00:04:01JackYeah, yeah, yeah, it does it. It does look challenging, but it's actually really easy to to pronounce. OK, so I'm going to give you a point, and I'm going to take one away from me. So 01, which US state did you grow up in? I'm going to say you grew up in Iowa. Do you know where I go?00:04:20XochitlWell, I kind of grew up in Iowa well.00:04:22발표자I'll give you a.00:04:23XochitlBonus point back if you know the 2nd state.00:04:24JackOh, I'm going to say sorry.

I want to say this but it's like no, no, Jack. You told you talked about where you grew up so many times and yet I'm about.00:04:43XochitlTo get it.00:04:44XochitlWrong. I want to say Nebraska, but I'm like that's not right.00:04:47발표자That's not right.00:04:48발표자It's like it's it's.00:04:48JackIt is in the Midwest, though. It's in.00:04:50JackThe Midwest.00:04:50XochitlIt's really fast. It's in the Midwest and I know I'm wait. Give me a second. OK? I know it's not Iowa, Illinois, Idaho or Ohio.00:05:00XochitlAnd it's in the Midwest and it's not Nebraska.00:05:06XochitlOne second.00:05:08XochitlLet me you know, just give me a.00:05:10XochitlCouple more seconds I.00:05:11JackYeah, and.00:05:12JackFor our listeners out.00:05:12XochitlOhh Minnesota, it's Minnesota.

I'm from.00:06:18JackWhite Bear Lake.00:06:20XochitlNo, that was my second guess. So it's gonna be.00:06:22XochitlLike right there? No.00:06:25발표자So close.00:06:27JackI'm from White Bear Lake.00:06:28JackBut White Bear Lake is a suburb of Saint Paul, so if you'd have said.00:06:31JackSaint Paul, I would have.00:06:32XochitlDang. And Saint Paul is.00:06:32JackI would have given you that.00:06:33XochitlGoing to be what I was going to.00:06:34XochitlSay originally, but when?00:06:35XochitlYou said W like it's not Saint Paul.

I was gonna say Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul.00:13:58JackOhh. OK. No, no. Yeah, I went to I.00:14:00JackDid go to school?00:14:00XochitlOhh Nick Alistair is in St. Paul, MN. McAllister is a famous liberal.00:14:05JackYet McAllister is a very, very famous, prestigious school, and they they were in our basketball conference actually.

Peter Berg, movie director went, went to that school.00:14:47JackOK, let's see here. We've got one more, OK.00:14:52JackLast question, what is your go to comfort food? Is it sweet, salty or savory?00:15:04XochitlJack, I think yours is savory.00:15:08JackOh, I would say I'm.00:15:10JackI'm more of a sweet I go. I go to this.00:15:13XochitlNo, I failed once more of.00:15:16XochitlYour sweet tooth. Ohh, no, no.00:15:17JackYeah, I have a sweet tooth. A bad sweet tooth. Yeah. Yeah. Which my wife finds, like, kind of, you know, odd for a man. A man like in Korean men don't really eat sweets. You.00:15:26XochitlAnd then.00:15:28XochitlOh, that's. That's like a weird genre thing. It's like.00:15:32XochitlI can't even have a sweet.00:15:33XochitlTooth I, you know.00:15:34JackShe's like, it's not. It's not very manly to have a.00:15:36JackSweet tooth and like, yeah.00:15:37XochitlOhh OK of all the countries because when I was in Korea, one thing that I found really wild was.00:15:42XochitlThat people would.00:15:43XochitlOnly tell me.00:15:44XochitlLike their boyfriend or whoever they were with was like, you don't want to get on a roller coaster with them. Scared of getting on a roller coaster. And I was like, I never met a man like in the US or in Mexico that would admit that they were scared to go on a roller.00:15:57XochitlYes, Sir. But in Korea, that's normal.00:15:58JackOh yeah.00:16:00XochitlSo I'm like the gender is is like it's totally different. You know what I mean? So it's funny how sweet tooth thing.00:16:05XochitlIs like.00:16:06XochitlIs a weird. It's not.00:16:07JackI just think.00:16:08JackIt's like we're all human. Like I'm like, I just. I have a sweet tooth. Like, it's terrible. It's really dangerous. I think yours is savory. You told me that your your grandfather, you're on your mother's side. Used to make a very.00:16:24JackTraditional Stew is a very savory Stew, and that was one of your favorite comfort food.00:16:30XochitlYeah, that is my favorite food of all time.00:16:32XochitlYeah, I am.00:16:33XochitlA favorite girl and you know another thing.00:16:35XochitlThat I will just eat.00:16:36XochitlA tiny not I'm not just like eating huge spoonful of it, but I'll blend and paste right out of the container.00:16:43JackYeah, yeah, I know.00:16:45JackWhat you're talking is it you, Sam Chung or Dwayne Chung?00:16:47JackLike Gwen Chung.00:16:49JackWow, that's super salty. Yeah.00:16:51XochitlI only like a little tiny tiny tiny.00:16:54XochitlLittle lick of it.00:16:56XochitlBut like, I'll put like a tiny bit on.00:16:57XochitlA butter knife and just like.00:16:59XochitlOr like I'll put some on as.00:17:01XochitlA piece of seaweed and.00:17:02XochitlRead it.00:17:03JackWell, our listeners out there like the what social is describing is a bean paste, but it's it's it's seasoned very, very deep, heavily with like salt and stuff like that. So.00:17:14XochitlYes, the fermented soybean paste and it's extremely faulty.00:17:16JackRight.00:17:18XochitlBut it's so tasty.00:17:20JackIt is. I I'm. I'm with you too. I'm actually. You know, I I'm. I'm not like against savory. I just think like when I'm craving some something I'm feeling down, you know depressed or whatever. And I just want to eat my.00:17:33JackWings. I'll go to the suites. You know, just go to a sugar.00:17:39XochitlI'll get so sick of sugar, like kind of fast like I do, like sweet stuff, But I'll probably could only eat like two or three cookies in a binge. But I could down like a whole bag of hot Cheetos, like a bunch of fried mozzarella sticks. I could just keep going, you know?00:17:54XochitlWhat I mean like?00:17:56XochitlI can't get to.00:17:57XochitlIn in Spanish is.00:17:58XochitlA word called EMPA Lagar, which means like you ate too much sweet stuff and it's like giving you a sickly sweet feeling in your mouth and.00:18:05XochitlYou're like sick of it.00:18:05JackOhh yeah, they call it.00:18:07JackPalate fatigue is the name of that.00:18:10발표자Oh, hello.00:18:12JackYeah, palate fatigue is actually it's an evolutionary protection, you know, for so we don't eat too much of one thing because, you know in nature you could, you know, you could don't eat all the berries because they might be poisonous or whatever. So we we we do get sick of eating. You know if you eat too much.00:18:27XochitlYeah, yeah.00:18:31JackIce cream. You'll start to get sick of it. It's just like sickly. Kind of.00:18:35JackSweet, you know.00:18:35XochitlYeah. Interesting. I get palate fatigue from sweet things, but I won't really get it from savory because it's more diversity and savory food, in my opinion. Different. Yeah, so.00:18:43JackThat's exactly right, yes.00:18:46JackBut I could eat a whole sleeve of.00:18:47JackOreos, no problem.00:18:49XochitlMy God, that's so funny. I don't really like Oreos. Also, like in a milkshake or something. Then I.00:18:54XochitlCould do that but.00:18:55JackYeah. Yeah. No, I could just. I could just tear into a sleeve of Oreos and they'll be gone.00:19:00JackIn five seconds.00:19:03XochitlYeah. All right, listeners. Oh, no, no, you're fine.00:19:03JackYeah, I know that it's.00:19:06JackSorry, go ahead.00:19:08XochitlLet us know.00:19:09XochitlHow you did on this test?

Dr. Jill Creighton [00:02:14]: Houston, I'm so glad to have you on SA Voices today. W. Houston Dougharty [00:02:16]: Thank you. It's terrific to talk to you and To meet you. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:02:19]: So this is the 1st time we're talking. And in true student affairs tradition, I suppose, in our preshow talk, we discovered we have many, many mutual students and have in fact lived in some of the same cities, just not at the same time. Dr. W. Houston Dougharty [00:02:32]: It's that classic 2 degrees of separation in student affairs. It takes A 32nd conversation to figure out the 18 people you both know. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:02:41]: Absolutely. And now we get to know each other. But, Houston, you have recently retired from the profession with an extraordinarily accomplished resume as you've contributed to the field and made your mark in different ways. So we're gonna move through kind of your journey, but I'm wondering if you can give us the highlights of kinda your stops along the way. And ultimately, you became a pillar of the profession, Scott Goodnight award winner, a number of those very prestigious honors in NASPA. Sir. But what led you to that journey? W. Houston Dougharty [00:03:08]: Well, I was just telling somebody yesterday, a graduate student who was asking me about my career. I just I had to start by saying, I'm really one of the luckiest guys on the planet because I've had the chance to spend 4 decades helping folks realize their dreams And get in touch with their talents and help create the world they wanna live in. And it really started during My undergraduate career as a student at Puget Sound back in the seventies and early eighties when I fell in love with college. And it didn't take me long to figure out that if I could Figure out a way to live my life on a college campus, I would be a very, very happy person. So I started my life in admissions At my undergraduate institution at Puget Sound, like a lot of us do. And then I had a a small family, and my wife said, you're gonna travel how much? And then I went back to graduate school at Western Washington and then at UC Santa Barbara and realized that what I really loved doing was being a part of students' lives every single day. So I've had the chance to do that on 8 different college campuses in six States over 40 years. And I've been at little tiny liberal arts colleges like Grinnell and Lewis and Clark and Puget Sound, and I've been at big places like UCSB and Iowa State. W. Houston Dougharty [00:04:23]: And then I I finished my career at a place that kind of blends the 2, Hofstra, right outside of New York City, Which is over 10,000, a bunch of graduate and professional schools, but also only 3 or 4000 residential students. So, again, I just think I'm very, very fortunate to have had been a part of Students' lives and colleagues' lives for that period of time at all those different places. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:04:43]: One of the reasons we were so excited to have you on this season about the themes of transitions is you've been able to mark the story of student affairs from the late seventies, early eighties until literally the present. So you started in student affairs before we had really evolved in a technological school space before social media, before email, before, you know, all of these different ways that student development and student affairs work has really been deeply impacted and in a lot of ways, you know, growing in the improvement space from that technology. We actually just had a conversation with Eric Stoler about The transformation of technology in higher ed is a is a huge component of our work. But I'm hoping you can tell us about where the field was anchored when you started and how you've seen it grow in that transition space of society growing. W. Houston Dougharty [00:05:27]: One of the things that I'm pleased about, in spite of all the change in the last 40 plus years, is that I still think it is fundamentally a relationship based profession where we're able to most Positively impact students' lives by taking the time to get to know them, and to be supportive of them. And at the same time, I wrote a piece For Scott Academy blog, as I rolled off this summer from Scott Academy board, I talked about One of the main changes, and that is in the complexity of our world and the complexity of our students' lives. And it sort of hearkened back to how simple in many ways college life was in the seventies eighties when there were no cell phones, where, you weren't inundated with with news 24 hours a day where life just seemed slower And simpler and perhaps more relationship oriented in a natural way. And one of the things that our profession has had to do Considerably is adjust to that complexity, to make sure that we're relevant in students' lives And relevant in a world that has changed some. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:06:42]: Houston, one of the things you mentioned about the transition was kind of this simplicity of college life when you started in the profession. And I'm wondering if you can just define that a little more about what that kind of simplicity space looked like and felt like for you as a professional and for the students that were attending college. W. Houston Dougharty [00:06:59]: Sure. Well and a lot of it is tied to technology in that For the 1st 10 years of my professional life, I didn't have a computer on my desk. There was no such thing as email. In fact, when I went to graduate school in the early nineties, I very distinctly remember the very first assignment we had was to send an email. And that's Very funny to think of is and and we were nervous, and we didn't have Gmail. We used a server called Eudora is how we send our email. Students did not have the constant tether of outside information, like 24 hour news or Podcasts or the ability to text with their friends all over the world, they also lived in some ways not only a simpler life, but a more independent life Because their parents and their family members or their guardians were in sporadic conversation with them As opposed to now where students are con you know, walking out of class and texting their mom about the class thing. You know, I remember When I was in college, you know, my parents lived 1500 miles away, and we talked every other Saturday for 10 minutes by pay phone. W. Houston Dougharty [00:08:14]: That's a whole different world than than the kind of constant, communication and Styles of parenting have changed dramatically. So I would say technology and family dynamics are 2 of the things that I've noticed the most. And Dr. Jill Creighton [00:08:28]: Well, I'm sure that that phone call was quite expensive, and if parents are not home to receive that phone call, that's it. W. Houston Dougharty [00:08:35]: That's right. And I was the first person in my family to have gone very far away to college. My parents did not, have much money. I bought a little, you know, a little card that I could use on a payphone, and we would need it. You know, we'd call it 1 o'clock on Saturday every other week. And it was a very valuable conversation, station. But it was a 10 minute conversation. And I can't help but think in many ways I grew and my independence because we had so little conversation. W. Houston Dougharty [00:09:04]: And yet at the same time, I'm sure there's there's part of our lives that we would have loved to have shared, Which so many students can do so much more easily now. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:09:13]: One of the conversations I have at new student orientation every year now is with parents and giving them my personal challenge to give a little bit of that untethering, some of that freedom. And my my 1st 6 weeks challenge is always, Don't text your student until they text you first. W. Houston Dougharty [00:09:30]: Love that. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:09:31]: And that really feels impossible for a lot of parents. And then this year, I had 1 parent who actually responded in one of our parent groups and, said, I'm taking team Creighton's advice because my student told me I'm annoying them. W. Houston Dougharty [00:09:46]: It's very true. And I think because students and parents have been so accustomed To be in such close contact, it's tempting for parents to then wanna solve rather than allow students to be in discomfort. And as we in our field know, growth is what comes from discomfort. And so I think your advice is really good advice so that students can have some comfort and try to learn to navigate things without their parents constantly or their guardians constantly coaching them. And And Dr. Jill Creighton [00:10:17]: that's what we're trying to do a lot is have, you know, discern the difference between discomfort and growth and crisis, right? We don't want students floundering. That's the challenge and support theory that we've been operating off of for years. I mean, we're just figuring out differently. W. Houston Dougharty [00:10:31]: Well, and again, that just as the relationship basis Our field hasn't changed in 40 years. The challenge and support has not changed. I think, though, it's nuanced as we've had to adjust To family dynamics being different and technology being different. That the challenge and support is still critical, but it's mix and it's nuance Has had to shift with the changes in our world. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:10:56]: Certainly. And I've been reading and listening to a lot of information on AI right now because, you know, there's bold statements out in the world like AI is gonna take over human jobs. And then I think about what we do or what our counterparts in counseling do or counterparts in therapy do. And while AI can certainly be harnessed to make our jobs easier, there's no replacement for a person to sit across from you and provide you with emotional support or comfort or guidance. W. Houston Dougharty [00:11:21]: Yeah. And I I think coming out of COVID, we were that was even reinforced with us, wasn't it, Jill? That As much as we found that we could do long distance or or through a screen or through other modes of communication, so many of us were so anxious to get back to an environment where we could actually have coffee with students, where we could actually be in the lounges of the residence halls, where they could come to our office hours Because of that, the sort of genuine nature of that caring relationship that is engendered by being in person. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:11:53]: Absolutely. And For me, those who have worked with me at previous institution or have read any of my recent LinkedIn stuff, I I'm very much a proponent of the remote and hybrid work space for higher ed. So I think that there's an interesting balance for how we take care of ourselves and also show up in our best way for students. And I really think that's hybrid going forward because we can do both. Right? We can give people the flexibility, that they need to live a whole life and then also be there for students when our students need us. W. Houston Dougharty [00:12:20]: Well, and it has to be both and. Right? And we learn so much about what we can do differently that it's important that we not simply revert back to what we were comfortable with, especially those of us who are older and have been doing this a long time, but that we say, so how do we take the best of what technology offers us And a hybrid world offers us, and also hold on to the things that have always been dear to us. Jill Creighton [00:12:44]: I wanna talk a little bit about your publications. You've had quite a career publishing books on a number of things, including theory to practice, ethical decision making, executive transitions. What inspired you to write on these topics? W. Houston Dougharty [00:12:57]: Well, all of those opportunities came about because of Colleagues that I've had through NASPA, folks who are faculty friends, who were once colleagues, who then wanted a practitioner to join them in a scholarly exercise. And I think if you're referring to the case some of the case study books I've helped work on, I think in many ways, there's no better training Then trying to think about how one applies through the practice. I also was invited to be part of the executive transitions book that, You know, it was all about sort of going from the world of AVP or dean to VP. And, again, the chapter I helped write with Joannes Van Heke In that book was about how you take change theory and how you take a theory around leadership and apply it to the practical nature Of understanding a new campus and understanding a new role on campus. So that space of theory and practice link has always really intrigued me, And I've been so thankful, Flo Hamrick and me and Benjamin and and, you know, the folks who have invited me to really be a practitioner or scholar and join them In writing about that theory and practice world. Jill Creighton [00:14:10]: Because you have participated in a book literally with the word transitions in the title, I would love to know if you have any nuggets that you'd like to share for current practitioners that are looking at that switch from number 2 to number 1. W. Houston Dougharty [00:14:23]: It's a fascinating time in one's professional life when you think about that shift. And and I distinctly remember having conversations about Never wanting to be a VP because I loved being an AVP or a number 2 so much. And I was always afraid That if I became a vice president, and then, of course, I ended up being a vice president for almost 20 years, that I would lose contact every day with students. And what I realized was that that was my responsibility, that that there was no institution that could take The posture that as a VP, you can't hang out with students as much or you can't be in their lives as actively. But that's a choice I had to make. And, consequently, as I looked at VP Jobs, I had to make sure that I was taking a position At an institution that shared that value of mine, that value and that vocational dedication to having relationships with both undergraduate and, when possible, graduate students. And I basically found that at the 4 places where I was an SAO. I was able to make that part of my life, and it was still really foundational for me since I was So often the only person at the cabinet level who knew a lot of students by first name and knew their experience, and my job was to help represent them. W. Houston Dougharty [00:15:48]: Right. So I'm so glad that I didn't shy away from advancing to the vice president seat, But I'm equally thrilled that I did so with a commitment to staying in touch with the student experience. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:16:02]: When you think about how your roles evolved in your career, how did your relationships with students transition as you kind of moved up the proverbial ladder. W. Houston Dougharty [00:16:11]: At several places, I was known by students as the vice president who doesn't seem like 1. In that folks who may be listening to this, you know me know I'm not a very formal person. Now I grew up in the southwest where we say y'all and where it's laid back and where it's unusual to wear a tie. And and I was able to take that to lots of parts of the country. When I was offered the job at Hofstra right outside of New York City, there were other administrators there who thought, well, maybe this guy's not gonna be a very good batch because he's he doesn't act or look very vice presidential. He's not very, serious, or he's not very, buttoned up. And what I found is that at all of the institutions where I was lucky to work, there were students who loved the fact that I was Informal. And that and that doesn't mean I didn't take my job incredibly seriously and that I didn't realize that my job was was helping build buildings and hire staff and and enforce policy. W. Houston Dougharty [00:17:07]: But again, before this notion of both and, that it can be both and. I could still be my Rather casual, friendly self and also be a very competent and a very successful administrator. And then in fact, Having the opportunity to be in the student section at ball games and at lectures and concerts and plays with them and Sitting with them and having lunch with them and having weekly office hours made me better at being a competent Administrator because I was in more in touch with what the student experience was. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:17:45]: One of the reasons I love serving in the CSAO COC is because I get to learn from our students every day. I learn so much from our population here at my current university. We come from so many diverse grounds. Wondering if you can share with us maybe a nugget that you've learned from a student over the years. W. Houston Dougharty [00:18:03]: Sure. I have particularly loved Getting to know student leaders. And I've, you know, I've advised student government and so I think particularly of 1 student who I worked with very closely at Sure. Who was I haven't been a member of a a group led organization. She was the president of Panhellenic, and She taught me a sense of language, a sense of understanding values around fraternity and sorority life, but also how to mediate. We were working on a building project, and the ways she mentored me And helping represent the administration with students who are so passionate about space and about their organizations. I was made a much better administrator for spending the time with Reba and having her be feeling like I could sit back and say, Reba, this is your expertise. These are the people that you know so much better than I do, and you know their organizations better than I do. W. Houston Dougharty [00:19:02]: I'm gonna take your lead As we try to compromise on some situations here, and then she just did brilliantly. And as I think about mentors I've had, I have her on my list of mentors as someone who is and then she went on to do our our graduate degree at Hofstra. And coincidentally, through four 3 or 4 years after she graduated, she also saved my life by donating a kidney to me when I was in a health crisis. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:19:26]: Oh my goodness. W. Houston Dougharty [00:19:27]: And she was one of 75 or 80 students who volunteered to be tested when I was in the last stages of renal failure. And, you know, she she came to me and she said, from the first Time I met you at orientation, I knew I wanted to be a vice president for student affairs someday. And even if I never become 1, my kidney will be. And, you know, it's just remarkable that this student who has a 19 or 20 year old impacted my life so remarkably As a professional, Nao has sort of become part of our family by literally giving up herself to save my life. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:19:59]: That's amazing. W. Houston Dougharty [00:20:00]: That may not have been the answer you were thinking about when you thought about what I've learned from a student. But Dr. Jill Creighton [00:20:06]: This is exactly why we ask open ended questions. We always get these rich stories. It's beautiful. Houston, you're now in the retired space, and I'm wondering tell us about that experience of moving from what is a very fast pace and demanding job at the CSAO level into a life where you can make a lot more of your own choices. W. Houston Dougharty [00:20:28]: Well, in some ways, I was benefited by having COVID be the few years right before. I will and also have this medical leave from my kidney transplant because My wife, Kimberly, and I were actually really concerned about what life would be for me after retirement because student affairs has been for me a lifestyle, not just Not and it's been a vocation and a lifestyle, not just a job. And she always said, what are you gonna do without a campus? You have had a campus for 45 years. And so in many ways, having the world sort of slow down around me with COVID, I realized that there are things I love to read. You know, I've always been very interested in the arts, and I've been very interested in athletics. I was able to dive into those in a way that I didn't realize that I hadn't really had the time to do that while I was on a campus as fully engaged. And don't get me wrong. I absolutely loved that engagement. W. Houston Dougharty [00:21:23]: I wouldn't have traded that for anything. But what it did was it taught us both that there is life for me Off campus and yet I've spent 40 years as someone who has embraced a vocation of service And now I'm figuring out ways to embrace avocations of service. Just today, I spent 3 hours volunteering at The local food bank here in Santa Fe, and I'm getting involved in Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I'm on the board of the New Mexico NPR Geek Geek, so The KUNM radio station I'm on the I've been appointed to that board. So I've been able to sort of find ways, and I'm Still finding ways. I mean, who knows what that will be in the next 20, 25 years of my life. But service to others is important to me, and so it was really important To Kimberly and me that we find ways coming back to my hometown. I don't think I mentioned that, but I grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. W. Houston Dougharty [00:22:16]: I left for 44 years and then we bought a house Five blocks from the house I grew up in, and so I'm rediscovering my hometown through sort of a lens of service. Yesterday, I volunteered at a college fair at the high school I went to Santa Fe Prep. In 2 weeks, I'm going to be at homecoming at Puget Sound because I'm on the alumni council. So you can't really get me off campus. I'm also doing a little bit of consulting. I'm doing some executive coaching with a vice president in Pennsylvania. I'm gonna be working with Some folks in student affairs at University of New Mexico, but just in sort of a consulting kind of space. So I read 5 newspapers a day every morning. W. Houston Dougharty [00:22:52]: We love that. I walk my dog for 6 or 7 miles every day. My wife and I have nice long conversations and have time to go to dinner in a way that we haven't for the last 35 years. So that's sort of how I'm conceptualizing. I'm only 3 months in to formal retirement having left New York on June 1st and coming back home to Santa Fe. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:23:13]: It's time to take a quick break and toss it over to producer Chris to learn what's going on in the NASPA world. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:23:19]: Thanks, Jill.

Dr. Jill Creighton [00:28:39]: Chris, it's always such a pleasure to hear from you on NASPA World and what's going on in and around NASPA. So, Houston, we have reached our lightning round where I have about 90 seconds for you to answer 7 questions. You ready to do this? W. Houston Dougharty [00:28:53]: Let's do it. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:28:55]: Alright. Question number 1. If you were a conference keynote speaker, what would your entrance music be? W. Houston Dougharty [00:29:00]: Can I offer a couple? Dr. Jill Creighton [00:29:02]: Sure W. Houston Dougharty [00:29:02]: I'm a huge fan of the blues, and queen of the blues, Koko Taylor, has a song that I absolutely love called let the good times roll, And I feel like my career has been a lot of good times. And then I I'm also a huge Talking Heads fan, and so whenever Talking Heads burning down the house Comes in, I'm ready, so I'd offer those too. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:29:21]: Number 2. When you were 5 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up? W. Houston Dougharty [00:29:25]: When I was five, I either wanted to be a farmer like my grandfather, or I was starting to think maybe I would be the governor of New Mexico. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:29:34]: Not too late for that one. Number 3, who's your most influential professional mentor? W. Houston Dougharty [00:29:40]: I would say, if I could rattle off a couple, The 1st person who gave me a break in student affairs after having spent 10 years in admissions was Kathy McKay, Who was the dean of students then at Iowa State University. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:29:53]: And I know Kathy. W. Houston Dougharty [00:29:54]: Okay. So Kathy and I are are very, very close. And in fact, she now lives in Denver, so we're only 5 hours from each other. So Kathy's who gave me my big break at Iowa State back in the day. At Iowa State, I learned so much from Nancy Evans, who was on the faculty there, and she and I both have clear research and research about students with disabilities in our areas of interest, and I learned so much from her and Ronnie Sandlow. I learned so much from Ronnie and and then Susan Pierce, who was the president of Puget Sound when I came back here in the Dean's student's office. Those are the women that come to mind most quickly for me. Sorry. I couldn't limit to one. And and there's so many others that I would love to include. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:30:34]: So fun fact, I was working at CU Denver when Kathy was the dean at Metro State University of Denver. Yep. And then also when I took the ADP dean of students job at WSU, I replaced Cathy who was doing it internally. So I love these weird connections in student affairs. W. Houston Dougharty [00:30:50]: Isn't it Funny. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:30:51]: Let's move on. Number 4, what's your essential student affairs read? W. Houston Dougharty [00:30:55]: Well, I'm very interested in sort of alternative notions of leadership, These are not new books at all, but there are these little thin books by a guy named Max Dupree. One is called Leadership is an Art And the other one is called Leadership Jazz. And I'm a huge blues and jazz person, so I particularly love that little volume, which basically talks about Great leadership is like leading a jazz band where everybody gets a solo, and I just love that notion of blending the notion of music and jazz. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:31:23]: Number 5, the best TV show you binged during the pandemic. W. Houston Dougharty [00:31:26]: So the hospital I was in in Manhattan had BBC America. I found this really great show called Grand Design where people dream about Where they would like to live and they renovate a space. And if you ever have connection to BBC Grand Design, It's just lovely, and it's British, so it's sort of witty. And I can't do anything with a hammer myself, so I love it when other people do. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:31:54]: Number 6, the podcast you've spent the most hours listening to in the last year. W. Houston Dougharty [00:31:58]: The moth. I love to hear people tell stories, And so I've sort of gone back into the catalog of The Moth, and so I love The Moth. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:32:07]: And finally, number 7, any shout outs you'd like to give, personal or professional? W. Houston Dougharty [00:32:11]: Oh my gosh. Of course, my family, you know, my loving wife, Kimberly, and our kids, Finn and Ali, who are amazing and and who grew up on college campuses across America, And I am so thankful to them for doing that. And in our preinterview chat, we talked about interns that I had, like Dave, and colleagues I've had, like Jim Hoppe and Debichi at Puget Sound. I mean, just and, you know, the amazing students who've really become part of my family. And 2 of them were in Santa Fe 2 weekends ago to seizes Oprah Byrne, which is a huge thing we do in Santa Fe. 1 came from Boulder, and 1 came from Boston. And, I mean, it's just, You know, we work in student affairs, and you will never be lonely because you're able to make these wonderful connections with people who are so dear. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:32:54]: Houston, it's been just a joy to talk to you.
