In this episode of Let's Talk Poverty Meagohn Reid speaks with Kate Koplovich from Calgary Economic Development to discuss and explore how dynamic strategies like Uplook can drive meaningful social and systemic change. In this episode Explore the role of Calgary Economic Development and the Uplook strategy in driving economic development that directly impacts poverty reduction, with a focus on creating opportunities for all Calgarians.  Learn how Uplook incorporates elements of community development and how Calgary Economic Development partners with local organizations to ensure accessibility and inclusivity in economic opportunities.  Understand how Uplook plans to evolve in response to emerging challenges and opportunities, and the importance of balancing formal economic strategies with community-led initiatives to shape Calgary's economic future.  Three key takeaways How the Uplook strategy is committed to fostering inclusive economic growth by addressing poverty through targeted initiatives that ensure equitable access to opportunities, paving the way for a more balanced and resilient economy.  Community-centred collaboration is key to building a more inclusive economy, where partnerships with local organizations make economic opportunities accessible to everyone, especially those who have been marginalized.  The future of Calgary's economy depends on adaptive strategies that combine formal economic planning with community-led initiatives, ensuring a sustainable and resilient economy shaped by both professional expertise and local leadership.   About Kate Koplovich Born and raised in Calgary, Kate's purpose and passion is the city of Calgary. In her work with Calgary Economic Development, as the Director of Strategy, she does this by leading Uplook: An Action Plan for Our Economy, Calgary's long-term economic plan, and Calgary Economic Development's internal corporate strategies.   Prior to Calgary Economic Development, she was with Deloitte's Sustainability & Climate Change team. I hold an MSc in Economics and Policy of Energy and the Environment from University College London and continue to do economic policy analysis at Calgary Economic Development.   Outside of work she is an avid outdoors(wo)man, has completed two Half Iron (wo)Mans, and is passionate about music and the arts in all its forms. To give back to the community, she volunteers with the Calgary Youth Justice Society's In The Lead program and sits on the Board of Directors for Connecting Environmental Professionals Calgary, a grassroots networking organization for young professionals in the environmental and sustainability sector.  Useful Information/Resources/ Show Notes:  Read more about the 'The Uplook Strategy' from Calgary Economic Development   Learn more about Kate's book recommendations mentioned in the episode–' American Dirt' by Jeanine Cummins and ‘The Stuff of Thought' by Brian Steven Pinker.  Subscribe to Let's Talk Poverty on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.

In this episode, your intrepid hosts try something new. We didn't feel like we had enough of a robust topic to fill our usual 60-75 minute conversational window, so we decided to cobble something together & see if it adheres. Likely it doesn't but each of these topics felt like they needed to be aired, so here we are airing them out. In the first third of the episode, we discuss my favorite album of all time - Talk Talk's Laughingstock. Their final album, released in 1991 which is - in my opinion - as close to a perfect ablum as can be found. I was confident Michael would really enjoy it but it took hims a while to get around to putting the headphones on & giving it a spin...or stream...or whatever. In the second third we discuss Michael's recent triathlon, a 70.3 Half Iron in Waco, Texas. Since we've peppered many of our recent epsiodes with tidbits from Michael's training, we felt it timely & instructive to do a little post-mortem. & finally, we took a listener's recent comment to me that they'd like a little more tangible training & racing tactics from the podcast. So we end up discussing whether or not we should give the people what they want. If there is something you want, drop us a line. Send an email to me at sisson at telosrunning dot com or, if you like this shit, give us a rating or review wherever you get your podcast consumables. We hope this episode finds you healthy, happy & hale. & please, god speed, my friends, godspeed.

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code)         --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Bethany asks: After my second baby I experienced a fairly significant diastasis recti and have been avoiding crunches, back-bends, and front planks upon advisement these may worsen the diastasis.  I have been trying to hold in my transverse abdominis muscle with all weightlifting and started performing the side-planks you recommended after your last podcast.  Are there any other exercises you think may be useful for helping the split close? Greg asks: I train with a triathlon team for Ironman and Half Iron distance races. The front runners tend to form a tight peleton during bike training, drafting heavily and taking turns with the lead. I've avoided this, not only because you can't draft during a triathlon, but because it seems like I would be cheating myself out of the complete workout. For example if we had a 100 mile ride, if I was in a peleton, would it turn out to be an effort of a 70 or 80 mile ride? Rick asks: I am sure you probably read the headlines about this swimmer's unfortunate death during a race -- I never thought about heat exhaustion during a swim. I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on this topic that you could share in your podcast. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2010/10/24/swimmer-dies-overexertion-race-uae-officials-say/ Ron asks: You spoke about taking "fish oil" for joint improvement.- how often and in what form do you use it? Also, I curious about the Double Bonded Protein....taking it 6x a day seems like a lot.! Is this due to your body size and consumption of calories? Would you recommend this to someone who is 5'11" 175 or do you need to take a hard look at each indiviudals need for fueling and recovering to determine whats the right amoun for them to take? Nutrition cover at your triathlon training camp? In my response to Ron, I mention the Pharmax capsules and Udo's from Bioletics. Erin asks: I think you might be able to help me with a problem I have been having for quite some time (progressing over a year). I am experiencing quad fatigue and ache (right side only) while riding my bike. Sometimes the fatigue goes down into the outer calf. The symptoms come and go depending on resistance (hill/wind will aggravate thigh more). It happens on all bike rides, but it can be quite frustrating on longer bike rides. Yesterday I did a flat 90 miler with a lot of wind averaging 18mph. It was pretty tough. I took in 1700 calories (excessive I think), thinking that caloric intake might be the problem. No change. I have had numerous sport muscle massages, most recently every 2 weeks, and have noticed little change. My bike has been fitted and refitted by a respectable fitter 3 times in the past 5 months. No change in the hamstring fatigue. Been to chiropractors, and PT's that were no help. Kevin asks: I am a 61 yr old male, I exercise regularly and am very fit. I engage in hillwalking which can be quite strenuous at times. Recently I noticed that no matter how much water I am drinking during a normal working day my urine is quite dark. By chance I had a routine blood test that showed bilirubin at 23 (norm
