In the fall last year I became aware of the legend of the Leshy of pagan Slavic culture through an excellent YA novel called "Where the Dark Stands Still" by Polish writer A.B. Poranek. When I googled the Leshy I was astounded to see images of what I recognised as the Wendigo. So this got me thinking - is there a Slavic influence at play here too? Perhaps this is something you could look in to!    I am really looking forward to the book and film regarding the Wendigo which I understand may come out next year. I have been fascinated by the Wendigo since reading Algernon Blackwood's novella and there is one passage in particular that always sticks in my mind:   "And soon after he slept, the change of wind he had divined stirred gently the reflection of the stars within the lake. Rising among the far ridges of the country beyond Fifty Island Water, it came from the direction in which he had stared, and it passed over the sleeping camp with a faint and sighing murmur through the tops of the big trees that was almost too delicate to be audible. With it, down the desert paths of night, though too faint, too high even for the Indian's hair-like nerves, there passed a curious, thin odor, strangely disquieting, an odor of something that seemed unfamiliar—utterly unknown."   Christine   (your biggest Scottish fan who lives in Germany

The actor and director Osgood “Oz” Perkins (Legally Blonde, Nope) recently released his latest horror thriller, “Longlegs,” which some are calling the scariest movie of the year. Harkening back to films like “Silence of the Lambs” and “Se7en,” it co-stars Nicolas Cage as an occultist serial killer. Oz joins Tom to talk about the film, how he developed one of the most bizarre serial killers ever seen on screen, and what his famous parents (“Psycho” actor Anthony Perkins and photographer Berry Berenson) brought to him as a filmmaker.

To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord, be my help.” You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever. (Psalm 30:8-12) Jesus said of his disciples at the time of his triumphal entry: “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”  Praise is a necessary aspect of being human.  It is so fundamental, in fact, that psalm 30 uses it as a reason for the Lord to intervene with mercy.  For who praises God from the grave?   Harkening back to some earlier psalms, there is a realization that the silence of God toward us can feel like death.  But psalm 30 suggests that our silence is also significant.  Our participation in giving voice to the praises of God is essential to life.   And so the psalmist cries out for mercy not by making any claim to their own goodness or deserving, but rather to the silence that results when a faithful person no longer proclaims the saving work of the Lord in praise.  Because that is a loss of the necessary vitality of life and a diminishment of the glory that is due to God.  So will God not step in with mercy and help so that his very own mission in this world and through his people may go on? Jesus expands this notion beyond where the psalm does: not only is human praise necessary to life, but the praise of God is a necessary work of all of creation—including the dust and the stones.   We, together with everything else in the world, are created to give thanks.  We are created to tell good stories of God's faithfulness, provision, and salvation.  We are created to point back to God in all that we say and all that we do.  We are created to witness to God through our words of praise and our grateful living that is ever more fully conformed to the likeness of Christ.  This is the mission of God that continues and broadens in the work of Jesus.   Psalm 30, therefore, is deep at the heart and foundation of everything it means to be a person of faith.  Not only because it places witness and praise of God at the heart of human life, but also because it tells the story of God's faithfulness in that praise.   God does save.  He does bring from death to life.  He does turn our wailing into dancing, clothes us with joy, and transforms our silence into singing.  Not merely so that we can sing his praises, but so that we might know, deeply and personally, the song of God that is ours to sing!   And as we do: all creation joins, and all the world listens in as the mission of God in Christ goes forward into the world in the power of the Spirit. As you journey on, go with the blessing of God:     May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you : wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness : protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing : at the wonders he has shown you.  May he bring you home rejoicing : once again into our doors.

I am Brenda McCabe, your host. This monthly podcast is now in its second season and it reaches entrepreneurs and business owners who learn about building resilient, scalable, and sustainable. 00:32 and sustainable businesses, all with great corporate governance. I wanna assist entrepreneurs and business owners in building these scalable, well-governed and resilient businesses. And I bring guests to the podcast that are themselves, founders, business owners, corporate board directors, investors and professional service providers, like Sue Tinnish, who's with us today. We all share a common... 01:01 interest in this using the power of the private enterprise, be that small, medium, and large, to create change for a better world. Through storytelling with each of my guests on topics that are gonna include their own experience with resilience, purpose-driven enterprises, and sustainable growth, my goal with the Founder Sandbox is to provide a fun sandbox environment where we can equip one startup founder at a time to build a better world through great corporate governance. 01:30 So today my guest again is Sue Tinnish. Thank you so much for joining me here, Sue. So happy to join you, Brenda, in this context. Excellent. Sue's joined in the podcast today in her capacity as a Vistage leader. For those who are actually seeing the video, I love your back screen, leading a life of a climb with Vistage. 01:57 She also has, as a member of Vistage, shares oftentimes in LinkedIn a newsletter called Making a Difference. I encourage everyone to follow Sue in LinkedIn because the messages that come across in this newsletter do resonate with business owners on making a difference. Today, we chose a topic, again, I'm all about resilience, sustainability, and purpose-driven 02:26 businesses. And when speaking with Sue on and off, we both share University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, Abu School is our background, right? That's we didn't meet there. But we did meet the alumni network is really quite active. And we discovered that we both use innovation and creativity with the work we do with our with our clients and 02:54 As I learned more of Sue's background, which I'll get to in a minute, I was just fascinated on specific tools, techniques, writing that she's used over the last 20 years at least. I'm gonna give you a brief introduction to Sue. She has a diverse background in business with specific skills in leadership, formulating strategy. 03:22 managing change, building teams and delivering a strategic and tactical projects. She is currently executive coach, working with CEOs and presidents of middle market companies. Prior to this activity, she's had experiences in academia, corporate banking, consulting and being an entrepreneur herself. So you check a lot of boxes, Sue. I thank you. I thank you again. 03:51 Also, the other aspect that we want to explore today is kind of you're a co-chair of the Chicago based Vistage Chief Executive Group and it's co-led by a male and a female. And I believe it's one of the unique or only chapters that is co-led and you're bringing in the diversity to the actual classroom itself. So I'd love to learn a little bit more later. All right. 04:19 So Sue and I have been in contact through our affiliation to the Chicago Women's Alliance. And I'm absolutely delighted that Sue's gonna tell us a little bit about some of the tools and techniques she explores as leader of Vistage. So can you share what has been a common denominator through your professional journey that has released or discovered, which you've discovered creativity? 04:49 Such an interesting question. So I guess I would say that as a leader, I've always had a real strong focus on people and teams. And so I really have encompassed playfulness, humor, and really creativity to help foster organizational growth. But it's really through people that that has happened. So that's been a very common denominator. And 05:18 I grew up in an era where what I was taught and learned about management was a little more like straight-laced and forward. And just my own personal growth, I really discovered, you know, through the process of learning and growing, I've discovered that that's not necessarily the way that you have to be. And I also think that, you know, interestingly, being a female, we bring different skill sets to the environment. 05:47 being more authentic has been meant that I've relied both on my own sense of humor, curiosity and playfulness to be effective. And you bring that into those monthly meetings with CEOs, I'm certain. Yes. You know, you, one of the articles that will later be in the show notes, is you brought in or explored kind of the entertainment. 06:16 element as a platform that unleashes creativity when you were working in the hospitality sector. Can you walk us through that specific kind of experience? It was, again, when you helped me prepare this, I was reading with awe. I was like, wow, I hadn't ever, you know, it goes back quite a while to 06:39 Yes. So when I worked in hospitality, I specifically worked in sort of the meetings and events and conference space. Okay. And my focus was really on how to create more innovative learning environments in that space. So it wasn't really focused on the logistics or the hotel arrangements or even the food and beverage. And really, earlier in my career, I spent a lot of time focusing on training and 07:09 And so I really thought a lot about how can you make these events, meetings, really more interactive and engaging in a way that's also going to create more knowledge, that's going to make what's happening in those meetings really stick. And so entertainment was one of those fields that I explored to talk about why entertainment can both be entertaining, but also. 07:38 or valuable in helping messaging stick. So like one example would be, think about like the topic of sexual harassment in Illinois, in many places most organizations. It's a requirement. It's a requirement, exactly. So no one's gonna raise their hand and say, oh yes, in a public environment, I've been sexually harassed or I'm a harasser. But when you use actors or entertainment or some kind of role playing, 08:08 a delicate subject out there in a way that people can maybe see themselves or see themselves in that situation and allow themselves to really go internally, aha, I understand now what has happened because of what I've seen on the stage. So I think entertainment can be used in a more strategic way beyond just being entertaining. 08:33 That is fascinating. And thank you for specifically providing an example. I'm just actually visually imagining a setup whereby a hairy topic is addressed in kind of an entertaining way with actors. Amazing. And I liked what you said about it allows maybe some of the learning that is happening within the meeting to stick. 09:01 because one is more relaxed, laughing, right? I actually had written a blog about two years ago on why playfulness matters in startup to scale up. And I discovered kind of five fundamental elements that I have seen or I've observed, I've introduced to my clients, there's no rules, right? 09:27 to generate more ideas, have a problem statement, allow people from all different levels of the organization compete in generating those ideas. But more importantly, when you were talking about the sexual harassment or using entertainment with professional actors, one founder I worked with actually brought in a surprise question at the end of the all hands on deck meeting. 09:56 And then there was a prize. So it really got people to pay attention to what the monthly message was about as the corporation grew. So I'm very happy to know that I'm doing something right and you're basing it on many years of experience in Vistage as well as the entertainment, the hospitality industry. So thank you. I'd like you to, I pride myself on lots of 10:26 really practical nuts and bolts in this podcast that listeners can take away and bring into their own companies. And so you provided some insight on Harry Gardner's similar work on people's concept of multiple intelligences. And there's seven ways people are intelligent. And then you bring that in actually to some of the tools and techniques you use in your session. So can you provide that background on? 10:54 Yeah, sure. What about intelligence? So, you know, Rhonda, you and I, we think we're fairly intelligent. We went to a fabulous business school. And yet, if we were in, you know, the outback of Australia trying to survive, we would not be as smart or as intelligent as an Aboriginal woman. And so there are different ways that we think. And obviously there's been a huge interest in EQ, you know, emotional intelligence, 11:24 IQ, but really, when you start to think about the skills that a surgeon might have, or an architect, they have kinesthetic skills that maybe other people don't. And so kinesthetic is another form of intelligence. Naturalism. There are people that have natural affinity to mathematics. And so you can think about your group, and some groups are more 11:53 homogenous, like an industry group, like an association. So you can think about what kind of natural intelligence that group might have, and then you can target some of the learning and the sessions in a way that's gonna harness the way that those people think. And it may not be humor or playfulness, but you're really leaning into their strengths. And I think that's so important in this topic of adult learning. That is fascinating. Again, I am... 12:24 the seven, you know, one was musical. Again, back to some of the writing I did, and I just saw it reinforced when listening to you is, you know, Mozart was a learner, but he would, he would have to write the music, but then he would never, but to keep it in his memory, and then he would never use it again. But it's really fascinating how I imagine in your Vistage meetings, you have a 12:54 cohort of, I don't know, 10 or 12. You create a safe space where CEOs are sharing current business challenges. Ultimately, they leave the monthly meetings though, and are gonna communicate decisions made to the companies that they lead, right? Yes. How do you share with them how to bring in humor if it's required, right? For the leaders communication, what have you seen to be more effective? 13:24 in some cases. Well, first of all, I'd say that, humor does not mean that you're a standup comedian. Really, when I think about humor, I think about it as more as like levity. And so my first tip always is not to be caustic or sarcastic, cause that's not gonna fly. But leaders can bring in this levity to their communication. I say in several ways. One would be just being able to laugh at yourself. Okay. 13:53 much more approachable, it helps build rapport and trust, and it makes you more authentic and human. So that's the first way, just being able to laugh at yourself. The second way is I think you can use a joke, a little levity to just capture people's attention. You know, we've all been in meetings, blah, blah, blah. Yes. Non-drona. So humor's an opportunity to catch people's attention and really get them to sit up. 14:21 Kind of like the example you were saying before about the leader that had something at the price. I also think maybe it's not exactly humor, but certainly playfulness. It allows you to take complex ideas and make them more simple. Not saying that you're trying to dumb down the conversation, but the kind of strategic issues that leaders are facing these days can be difficult to communicate. And so a little bit of humor or playfulness 14:51 really allows people to make things understandable. Like specifically, I would think about metaphors or analogies, those are great ways, or good stories can help communicate these more complex ideas to people so that people can remember them, and then you have good alignment in the organization. So those are just three tips. Right, and what about storytelling? You just... 15:19 touched it at the end of your comments there, but I've observed primarily because of the working from home and having distributed teams. And there are more and more CEOs that are stepping up and actually using storytelling to become, or appear more authentic. Are you observing that? And can you talk about storytelling and authenticity, please? 15:49 Yes, happy to do so. So storytelling can be personal. I think those are great stories to tell. And so in doing that, you bring your whole self, that whole authentic self to the table. Okay. I just made a post yesterday on LinkedIn where I was talking about my goal around losing weight. And I was like, walking around thinking I had been more successful than I had because I didn't really, I didn't really 16:19 I didn't write my goal down. I didn't write my stating weight down. And then all of a sudden I had the realization, I'm like, oh my gosh, I really actually went up by two pounds, not down by more. And so people commented on how refreshing it was. So those kinds of stories can, and then really to drive the point home, the post was really about goal setting and also how you can do a reset. 16:47 change your mindset to make sure that you do achieve your goals. Because we still have half of the year left. So I could do this. The importance of, of, you know, self belief. And so it was a story that poked a little bit of fun at myself, but really add a message. And so many people responded to that post just by talking about, oh, my gosh, it was refreshing, so honest, so authentic, they use those kinds of words. And so I think those 17:15 That's an example of how you can use a story to resonate with the population. Because again, almost like we were talking about entertainment, people grab onto stories. That's why we go to films. That's why we read books is because for that storyline, that plot. And so finding the hero and how you can get to employees that you could be the hero or you are my hero or you are part of the hero team. 17:44 in the story can, I think can be quite effective. Wow. What about the, the leading from creativity and the use of humor to actually promote creativity? Have you seen that? Do you use those techniques in your Vistage groups or elsewhere? 18:13 So, you know, one thing is humor, right? To enhance maybe leaders communication and the other is actually creativity to generate new business ideas or to think about a problem statement. What have you seen in your work? So. Yeah, I think there's great opportunity to be playful and to unleash creativity. And I know that this is something that you and I both believe strongly in. So I think there's, you know, there's a lot of things you can do. 18:42 Metaphors, I kind of alluded to this before. When you say one thing is like another, and so you can say, you know, I feel like our organization is like a twisted pretzel right now, and why is that true? Like, how is our organization like a twisted pretzel? And so that just encourages people to think more broadly about the concept. So I think metaphors are a good way. Even choosing a random word, 19:12 picking up a book, pointing at a word like, what does bananas have to do with the strategic issue that we're facing right now? And it just causes people to be like, oh, I gotta think about this differently. And it kind of breaks the ice. Yeah, exactly. Yes, and so it just gets people to say, I don't have to think about this in the same exact way. I'm also a big fan of field trips. And so one of my efforts when I was 19:40 uh, leading a training and development effort for an association was that we, um, took field trips around Chicago. Actually related in the hospitality industry. We went to various places unrelated to hospitality and we just said, what can you learn by just going on site to a chocolate place, Garrett's popcorn, a museum, what can you learn about the way that the. 20:09 those organizations greet people, the entering experience, the engaging experience, the exiting experience. What can you learn from that that would cause you to rethink how you do it in your own organization? So I think by taking field trips like when we were kids, I think that's another other way to foster creativity. I like mind mapping. I think that's a real 20:33 good way causing people to start to write things down visually or even using props or toys to try and encompass a concept. I think those can be very effective. I love, you know, I love the improv technique of yes and, which of course is useful in brainstorming, but also useful in saying we have a product design, and it's good. 21:01 And yes, and what can we add on or what else do we need to do? So I think those are some techniques that I think promote playfulness, but also cause us to open our minds to being more creative. These are very actionable. Have they been, is it necessary to, in your experience, have these in person? Can you do this virtually? And how do you get CEOs to allocate time on their busy schedule? 21:32 Well, it's, who doesn't, I mean, what CEO doesn't want innovation and creativity in their organism? So having said that, the question is, how do you really foster it? And you don't just say, okay, let's sit down and we're going to be creative, because that's not gonna work. We all have our own cognitive biases. We have our frameworks, our assumptions, our biases for how we think. 21:58 What you wanna do is break through some of those. And in order to do that, I think you really need to think intentionally about how to do it. And to me, some of the techniques I described are not wasting time at all, but rather an intentional way to allow people to be more creative. Excellent. And so. 22:24 Can you speak to it's actually not in the script, but what is a typical Vistage meeting and cohort look like in your world in Chicago? You co-lead with a male. You have two groups that you're leading now. So what is the typical format, duration, size of group? What are the things that you're finding? Are they Illinois based companies? Do you have any? 22:51 people participate virtually. This is your opportunity to share your craft as a leader of Vistage. Okay. Well, I guess I'll first talk about the group and then I can talk a little bit about what happens in the group. So the peer group is part of the Vistage experience. There's other things, research, virtual events, the one-on-one time with me as an executive coach. But in the group, typically 10 to 18, 15, 16 members 23:21 and everyone represents a different industry. They all own their own lanes. So no competitors, no vendors, customers in the room so that you can really have an open kimono and be vulnerable and being willing to say something out loud. So the kind of people I look for are clearly, you know, very successful already in their own right, but really humble enough to say, hey, what got me here may not be what... 23:50 I need the skills and the mindset and the way I need to lead in the future. We've been through a life-changing event in terms of the pandemic, and it's had a lot of repercussions. And so how do leaders function in a new environment? And so the way you may have done it in the past may not necessarily be the way that you need to do it in the future. So you wanna be, I want people who are already successful, they... 24:17 but they're still hungry. They're hungry for personal growth. They wanna grow their teams and they also wanna see revenue growth in their organizations. And then sort of putting on my University of Chicago hat. So that's sort of the psychographic. But I also think about my group as a portfolio. What I mean is I want certain voices in the room. So like right now I would love to have a person in the staffing or executive search. 24:47 industry because talent's such an issue. So I want to have that voice in the room. So my people, I look as almost like a portfolio. I also look to make sure that I have industry sectors that are either leading or lagging indicators in the economy because those leaders are going to see things first and they can bring that to the group and say, hey, here's what's already happening in 25:16 And so what's happening in my industry is gonna happen to you probably later. And so this portfolio approach, I think, enriches the group and allows everyone to really benefit from the diversity that is inherent in every Vistage group. Fantastic. What about, do you have mixed gender groups? I'm just wondering. Oh, absolutely. 25:46 Not it's people come and go in groups. It serves them well and then they need to move on. Right now I would definitely, I'm definitely looking to add some more female voices to the group. All right, well you heard it here on the founders. Exam clocks. Yes. Thank you. I'm you. 26:10 For this podcast, you provided a lot of articles that you've written over the years. That's a gift. You're a prolific and a polished writer. How do you find the time, Sue? And two, do you believe the ability to write is a skill that leaders must master? Such an interesting question. 26:40 leading does require strong communication skills. And obviously, I think there's many kinds of writing. Yeah, there's academic writing, which I've done published in journals, not necessarily very persuasive, not always persuasive writing. And then there's, you know, writing to to communicate. And so I think that 27:05 I guess I would say, you know, you can be a skilled writer, like a speechwriter, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to be a skillful communicator. And I think leaders need a little bit of both. I mean, it's the kind of businesses and leaders that we work with are typically not hiring speechwriters. And so I do think it's an important skill to have if you're a small or medium sized business owner. 27:36 CEO of a huge, you know, fortune 500 company, of course, you can have speech writers write your thing, right, right stuff. And that's a that's a specific skill. So I would say, for our audience, what good or bad, you have to be skilled at writing, but also communicating those words to people. And writing in a way that is going to be persuasive and communicative. And perhaps playful. 28:04 right using humor, which is the topic of today's podcast. You know, when we I was preparing this, you know, I've been pursuing you for quite a while now. Thank you for joining. I did come across in other forums, a book that is accompanied by an assessment test called it's called humor series business. And to 28:31 professors at Stanford's Graduate School of Business have developed a course online to actually discover your type, right? And humorseriously.com. Have you had any experience with this? I thought it took off actually right in the pandemic. And just curious, because we are on the topic of humor and creativity. So, 28:58 what do I love? I love growing and learning and being a life-long learner. And so honestly, Brenda, I had never seen their work or heard about it. So I did watch their YouTube, which I found fascinating. I'm sure you'll include it in the show notes. And it's interesting, not, I think Stanford has done a really interesting job as a business and as a B-school or as a school, I guess I would say, as a university continuing to evolve. 29:24 So actually when I saw that they had this course in their business school, I wasn't surprised. And I actually have followed Stanford for a while because of their D school, their design school. Interesting. And so design thinking is not necessarily only related to the creative arts, but you know, you think about firms like, you know, who started with this concept like IDEO, but you know, this design thinking definitely has some 29:53 some good roots in creativity, innovation, breaking through borders, not thinking about constraints as true constraints and boundaries. And so to me, I wasn't surprised to see that these two were from Stanford. And it was a great listen. Thank you. I too, I was surprised to hear about it and two great schools, University of Chicago and Stanford with great alumni. So... 30:20 I do like to give my guest opportunity to share how you may be contacted. What's the easiest way and this will be in the show notes. Okay, well, I respond to my emails. I also respond to phone calls and voicemails. I love the younger generation that never listen to their voicemails. I actually do. So you can find me via phone at 847-404-7325. 30:47 Email always works and my email is su.tinish, my last at, and then here's the nice long after the at, VistageChair, like a piece of furniture, VistageChair.com. Then I am often on LinkedIn, and so people can DM me on LinkedIn and follow me. They can sign up and subscribe to my newsletter, make a difference. Yeah. Happy to respond any way that people want to. 31:15 Reach out to me, text, phone, email, or DM. Fantastic. So I'd like to bring us back to the founder sandbox and kind of the three cornerstones that I work with founders on and that's around resilience, purpose-driven enterprise and sustainable growth. And by bringing each of my guests back to, hey, what's the meaning of each of these terms? I'm absolutely fascinated that each one of my guests has a different. 31:42 you know, concept and it's so rich to listen. So what does resilience mean to you and your many years as practitioner with CEOs and small to medium sized companies? I'd say the first thing is really having a good balance between positivity and realizing that I have to grow and change and accept feedback. That maybe everything is not. 32:11 So I think especially for entrepreneurs and startups, I mean, you have such great belief in your concept. And so you do have to stick with it and stay positive, but there is that fine balance between accepting feedback and realism. And so I think resilience is balancing those two things appropriately. The second thing, the second characteristic I'd like to call out today is just really... 32:40 facing up to uncertainty. In other words, not being an ostrich and putting my head in the sand. Being resilient to me says, I'm willing to squarely look uncertainty in the face and I may not have all the data that I need. I may not be fully clear on what's the right direction, but resiliency is making that decision, taking responsibility, moving forward. 33:06 and accepting the consequences and then dealing with it all over again. Those are the two things that I think are most important to me personally about resiliency. Thank you. What about purpose-driven enterprise? Harkening back to my PhD where I did something on sustainability. Did you? Yes. So to me, purpose-driven enterprises really mean that you're gonna... 33:34 you will focus on value creation beyond simply profit. And the second quality is that there's really a strong integration in your ecosystem of all your stakeholders, not just shareholders, but that everyone is aligned and integrated and that your strategy is focused on an integrated purpose that serve all stakeholders, customers. 34:02 employees, your vendors, everyone in that ecosystem. And that's it. So you actually were a profit in your own land. Because your PhD, if you wrote on sustainability, I don't know how many years ago, it's just come back full circle, right? Yeah. It's got to be on every CEO's agenda. A triple bottom line. That's right. 34:27 And you heard it here, sustainable growth. So I kind of interchange sustainable with scalable. Again, we work with companies that are growing pretty rapidly. What is the meaning to you for sustainability? So first off, I think there's a difference between running an organization, leading an organization that's growing and leading an organization that's scalable. And so you desire both things, 34:56 you have to build in scale to make sure that you could manage your growth. So that's an element of sustainable growth. And as I alluded to earlier, I do think that this focus on the triple bottom line is really important. And even if you as a leader are not bought into it, think about the kinds of employees that you're hiring and the customers that you're serving as you get younger and younger. 35:24 this triple bottom line is so much more important to them. And so sustainable growth, in my opinion, can only be really fed by that focus on a triple bottom line. Wow. You heard it here. Thank you. Well, I have one last question. Did you have fun in the sandbox today, Sue? Oh, I did. It was fun to dig. It was fun to dig back into the past and think about the future. Yes. So delightful. So thank you so much for inviting me. 35:53 Thank you. The tools and techniques that you provided and just our conversation as well as what will be found in the show notes are invaluable. So thank you for offering these resources to my listeners. To my listeners, if you like this episode with Sue Tenesh, sign up for the monthly release of The Founder's Sandbox. It's available on all major podcast platforms. 36:20 where you're going to learn how to build with strong governance, a resilient, scalable, and purpose-driven company to make profits for good. Signing off. Thank you for being part of the Founders Sandbox.        

Sara Wittenberg on Pollinators and How to Build a Pollinator Garden Pollinator Week is June 17-23, 2024. Without pollinators, we wouldn't have food, making pollinators an essential link in the food system. You, as a gardener or farmer, have a role to play here. Gardener and biologist Sara Wittenberg talks with podcast host Lisa Munniksma about how and why we should be caring for our pollinators, including how to build a pollinator garden. Learn about the Pollinator Partnership nonprofit and the work they're doing to protect pollinators and prevent habitat loss, from educating gardeners and farmers to working on policies and supplying research grants. Sara may surprise you as she reveals who all of our pollinators are—not only honey bees, for sure!  More than 85% of U.S. households have outdoor living space, and Sara points out that even container gardens planted with pollinator habitat can make a difference! Hear about various pollinator initiatives happening in Arkansas and beyond that you can become involved in: the Project Wingspan effort to make native ecotype seeds more available to land stewards, NRCS programs to connect biologists with landowners for free advice and potential funding assistance, and all that the Pollinator Partnership offers. Sara explains the Bee Friendly Gardening program that she manages, which includes helping people learn how to build a pollinator garden. You can join the program to help them reach their goal of 1,000 Bee Friendly Gardeners by the end of 2024! Sara lets us in on a new program—the first time she's mentioned it to the public—the Bee Friendly Gardening badge system. Harkening back to your scout days, you can earn up to six badges to show your pollinator prowess. For listeners growing on a commercial level, Bee Friendly Farming is an actual certification program that allows Bee Friendly Farmers to use the logo on their packaging. Keep listening to learn about Sara's own native-plant garden in her suburban Arkansas backyard. Milkweed, asters, black-eyed Susans, phlox and more turn her small outdoor space into a palette of colors throughout the seasons. Keep listening for Sara's best advice for how to build a pollinator garden on your own land, backyard or balcony. (Hint: The Pollinator Partnership's garden recipe cards can help get you started.)   Links from this episode: Bee Friendly Gardening website Pollinator Partnership website Native plants in your region  

Harkening back to episode #1, The History of Pi vs Pie, the boys are at it again with looking at waffle the food vs waffle the verb. Trying to connect the two is quintessential drivel that has Kurt espousing wild theories and Jon in utter disbelief. Don't waffle, put in those air pods and give it a listen.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Reconciler over Zoom video!Reconciler is a band from Atlanta, GA who first amplified in the summer of 2016. Harkening to a sound alternately Southeast and East Bay, they released their debut LP, Set Us Free, in February of 2019 to critical acclaim from punk and Americana outlets alike. The band spent 2019 playing often across the Southeast and East coast and announced their first European shows, slated for June 2020.Shortly After the first anniversary of Set Us Free, the world shut down and all plans were canceled indefinitely. Reconciler wouldn't see another stage for 18 months despite releasing a split 7 inch with the legendary Gainesville outfit, Ship Thieves in January of 2021 and offering another new track on the Grace vinyl comp alongside many noteworthy acts including Hot Water Music, Samiam, and Catbite the following October.Reconciler has been hard at work rebuilding and refining its focus and is beyond ready to return with their sophomore album, Art For Our Sake, via Smartpunk Records. This 13 track LP stands as a testament to the band's tenacity and work ethic and is certain to offer Reconciler's strongest output to date.We want to hear from you!

TSC News TV host Fred Richani interviews "Footnotes" film stars Chris Leary (lead/director/writer) and actress Sharayu Mahale (lead) about their independent pandemic era romantic comedy, the challenges of 2020, the fun times on set, and why people should check it out at a film festival near you! Follow Sharayu Mahale: https://www.instagram.com/sharayu.mahale/ Follow Chris Leary: https://www.instagram.com/thatchrisleary/    About Footnotes (2023): Harkening back to the apartment movies of the 1970s, "Footnotes" is the story of neighbors and near total strangers, Will and Apurna. When they begin spending lock-down together in the wake of the 2020 pandemic, what starts as a platonic convenience quickly develops into something much, much more. But when a solo trip home to her small New England town puts a strain on their newfound connection, Will and Apurna are forced to reckon with what they mean to each other. Are they friends? Lovers? Or just another forgotten footnote?

A Nashvillian by way of Philadelphia, Vinnie Paolizzi has spent the better part of the last decade in the songwriting trenches, making a name for himself as a rising singer-songwriter to watch. His abilities as a live performer have led him to various roles from playing guitar for rising star Brittney Spencer to playing his original music in the round with songwriting legend Dean Dillon.  Vinnie self-titled LP— (out now) was produced by Old Crow Medicine Show's Mike Harris, and it  showcases a pocket of the Nashville community that has blazed its own trail in a time when Music Row seems to have forgotten its past, evident clearly in this first taste of the new music. Harkening back to the halcyon days of songwriting in Nashville—back when people like Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, and Guy Clark were kicking around and writing timeless songs before they became household names—Vinnie Paolizzi is ripe with collaborations from up and comers like Chapman and Meg McRee, as well as tried and true road warriors like Harris and Adam Hood. And the final product feels like that, like cracking a beer on the porch and working through a new song with an old friend.  For more on Vinnie Paolizzi, visit: vinniepaolizzimusic.com

In today's episode, Jenny is joined by Hedy & Hopp Senior Vice President and long-time friend Maggie Piasecki. Harkening back to their early days working at a healthcare recruiting firm, together they discuss the growing demand for healthcare workers and how viewing recruiting as a marketing function can help fulfill that demand. They discuss the different approaches needed to engage active job seekers versus more passive groups and how organizations can benefit from taking a full-funnel approach to their recruitment, including focusing on upstream objectives like brand awareness. Maggie shares how a focus on the emotional drivers of the audience can help recruiters make their organization and roles standout, and the benefits of small tests and ongoing optimization in driving results. Jenny also discusses how many healthcare organizations are budgeting dollars and headcount for recruitment marketing and gives tips on how marketing and HR colleagues can best collaborate in 2024.

Episode 422, "The Harkening." I harken back to Rob telling me "everyone gets afraid, dummy." (It's Not Just You, Murray!) I have to watch out for "Drum fever." I harken back to when I said I thought The Marvels was gonna bomb, and it did. I harken back to the motion picture Lethal Weapon 2, and discover they go to my Subway in it! I harken back to this past Saturday, which was effectively Luke Allen's Day Off (minus anyone looking even remotely like Simone being around me) Unfortunately it left me with one of the worst hangovers Ive ever had. I offer my thoughts and insights to the new David Fincher flick, "The Killer." 

Harkening back to that golden-era of second-wave ska launched by The Specials, Jerry Dammers, and his 2-Tone label sparked off a short, but incredible run of what have now become classic ska tunes from bands like The Beat, Madness, Selector, and many more.   PLAYLIST The Beat - Ranking Full Stop The Specials - Too Much Too Young The Selector - Too Much Pressure Madness - Night Boat To Cairo The Bodysnatchers - Let's Do Rock Steady Bad Manners - Lip Up Fatty The Akrylykz - Smart Boy The Specials - Why?

Harkening back to 70s blaxploitation films, this sci-fi mystery caper in which an unlikely trio investigates a series of eerie events, alerting them to a nefarious conspiracy lurking directly beneath their hood. Fontaine, a neighborhood drug dealer, is shot dead by rival Isaac and then is very shocked to wake up in his bed the next morning unharmed. He and Slick Charles and Yo-Yo begin looking into the incident, and their search eventually leads them to a vast underground complex where a government backed lab is performing experiments on the local Black population. Realizing that he is an artificial clone controlled by Nixon, Fontaine initially feels despair, but decides he needs to stand up to these White institutional overlords for the sake of his neighborhood.

Am I a Sheep or a Goat? – The Moment of TruthMatthew 25:31-46The Sheep and the Goats31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his gloriousthrone. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another asa shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on hisleft.34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take yourinheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and yougave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and youinvited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prisonand you came to visit me.'37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty andgive you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes andclothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sistersof mine, you did for me.'41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire preparedfor the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and yougave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did notclothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes orsick or in prison, and did not help you?'45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do forme.'46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”1. - Following the parables of the 10 bridesmaids and the distribution of the talents (Mikey and Clay)A. In the last few weeks, through Jesus' parables, we've learned:- that we need be prepared in anticipation of His coming (and know the consequences of not beprepared)- that we need to invest the gifts talents and abilities that he's given us in His kingdom (and knowthe consequences of not investing ourselves in His Kingdom work)- and finally (truly finally) with this parable, Jesus shows us how to respond to his grace and whathe expects to see as fruit in His followers.- Not really a parable as much as a prophesy – we don't find terms like “like” – the kingdom of Heaven islike…or “like 10 virgins. Jesus is giving a statement of fact: “When the Son of man comes…”- This is about the 2 nd coming of Christ,- Something each of us is going to experience-The most public event of all time- It could be today, tomorrow or in a thousand years.- Before Jesus died and rose again, He prepared His disciples for His departure and all of us for Hisreturn.Verse 3131 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. - Jesus is confirming that He is:The one who will be enthroned as JUDGEDaniel 7:9“As I looked, “thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat.The One In the presence of angels…Daniel 7:10A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him.Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.The court was seated, and the books were opened.The One who will reward the righteous…Daniel 7:18But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for everand ever.'- and punish the wickedDaniel 7:26But the court will sit, and his (satan's) power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.- get the picture? Jesus in all His glory…maybe this will help…Revelation 19:11-1611 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful andTrue, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on Hishead were many crowns. He [a] had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothedwith a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies inheaven, clothed in [b] fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouthgoes a [c] sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod ofiron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He hason His robe and on His thigh a name written:KING OF KINGS ANDLORD OF LORDS.Verses 32-3332 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as ashepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on hisleft.-Absolute truth that each of us will be standing there with each other – all of us…ever- He is going to separate us, one from another- this is going to be a personal interaction. We will EACH stand, individually before Jesus, in all ofHis glory. (Harkening back to the parable of the talents stressing individual gifting, responsibilityand accountability.- He is going to place each of us either on His right or on His left…no middle ground…no fence tosit onMatthew 25:34-4034 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take yourinheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and yougave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and youinvited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prisonand you came to visit me.'37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty andgive you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes andclothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sistersof mine, you did for me.'- He will judge each of us individually, based on the life we lived – what we did or didn't do.- That's a familiar theme from Matthew 16…Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he willreward each person according to what they have done.- You may ask…isn't that a works-based salvation? NOI am not saved by works, but works are the evidence that I've been saved- The good works performed by believers aren't the basis of salvation but should be understoodas the necessary EVIDENCE of salvation. These works are the fruit and product of our new lifein Jesus.- We don't do these things to be saved…we are compelled to do these things because we AREsaved….out of our love and gratitude for Jesus- the works, we will find, are works of LOVE- They're lowly, not spectacular and seemingly not religious (but maybe they ARE…)James 1:2727 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows intheir distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.- faith and hope aren't mentioned…only LOVE.Could it be that LOVE is the true evidence and fruit of our faith? How we love othersdemonstrates how we love Jesus.John 15:12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.1 John 4:7-87 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born ofGod and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”1 John 4:19-21 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. Forwhoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they havenot seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother andsister.1 John 3:17-1817 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, howcan the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but withactions and in truth.Matthew 22:36-4036 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all yourmind.' [a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor asyourself.' [b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”Everything hangs on LOVING GOD and LOVING PEOPLE…everythingIt's not the works that Jesus rewards, but evidence that we truly KNOW HIM and LISTEN TOHIM…that we LOVE HIM and LOVE OTHERS.- In this case, it's the command and also the fruitMatthew 25:41-4641 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire preparedfor the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and yougave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did notclothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes orsick or in prison, and did not help you?'45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do forme.'46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”- Those judged by Jesus meet opposite fates…- the righteous come to Jesus, and the unrighteous depart from Him- the righteous are blessed, and the unrighteous are cursed- There is a fearsome finality to Jesus' judgement – there are no second chances at this point.- Both the righteous and the unrighteous seem surprised…maybe both are professing Christians- Both answer…”Lord…”Matthew 7:21-2321 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one whodoes the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we notprophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform manymiracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'Philippians 2:10-11that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.- We shouldn't be surprised by any of this after reading this parable – we know what Jesus is looking foron judgment day.- If it seems harsh, consider the fact that Jesus is giving us a 2000 year heads-up…- Jesus will know how much we love Him, based on how much we loved the least of these.- We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our strength and all our mind.AND love our neighbor as our self.The two have always been connected…we show God how much we love Him when weobey this and love others. We are truly called to love God and love people, because Jesusidentifies with the least of these.So, back to a pretty legit question is: Is Jesus teaching works righteousness here?..that we can somehowearn our salvation through righteous works?...No- One clue is in how the righteous reply – if they were trying to earn eternal life by feeding thehungry, and so on, they wouldn't be surprised when Jesus commended them for good works.- Jesus isn't defining FAITH in this story – He's showing us what it looks like when it's alive, and theconsequences of it when it's dead.James 2:14-2614 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can suchfaith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says tothem, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good isit? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there isone God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless [d] ? 21 Was not our fatherAbraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see thathis faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 Andthe scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him asrighteousness,” [ e ] and he was called God's friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by whatthey do and not by faith alone.25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when shegave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26 As the body without the spirit isdead, so faith without deeds is dead.-In that light, Martin Luthor said this:“ O, it is a living, busy, active, mighty thing this faith. It is impossible for it not to be doing good worksincessantly. It does not ask whether good works are to be done, but before the question is asked, it hasalready done them and is consistently doing them. Whoever does not do such works, however, is anunbeliever.”That sounds really harsh, doesn't it?...I mean…that last sentence…but if you think about it, isn't thatexactly what this parable is saying? Isn't that exactly what Jesus is saying?That makes us have to ask: Is the neglect of service to others so wicked that it deserves separation fromGod for eternity?...the fires of hell?The answer, both fortunately and unfortunately, is YES.James 4:1717 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.- In some ways, there's no ambiguity in what Jesus is saying here…so what seams really clear in thisreading?- What do these passages in Matthew teach us about Jesus' return?1. His return will be sudden- people will be going through their daily routine2. His judgement will be irreversible – no second chance to repent at that point- There are servants who will not be ready when their Master returns- There will be bridesmaids locked out of the marriage feast for not preparing- There's no middle ground…no fence to ride, and I believe that if there were, Jesuswould swipe left3. Our hearts will be exposed.- The true nature of who we are before God will come to light4. Our sentence may be surprising5. We must be prepared – our lives and our eternities are at stake6. The Kingdom of Heaven is not for those who simply respond to an invitation. All of thebridesmaids had done that…or just praying the sinner's prayer (which is not in the Bible)7. The Kingdom of heaven is not for those who simply make a confession – each of thebridesmaids would have said they were part of the bridal party8. The Kingdom of Heaven is not for those who merely express some affection – positive feelingsabout Jesus wont be enough on the last day.Where do we go from here?- The first big application of this is that we should be grateful that Jesus will one day set the world right.- We should be grateful that Jesus told us in advance how to show Him love...that how you treat otherpeople demonstrates the nature of your relationship with Jesus.- His mercy is like a long yellow light…- We should be grateful that Jesus loves us enough to tell us through these parables:- how to be prepared in anticipation of His coming (and the consequences of not be prepared)- the importance of investing our gifts talents and abilities that he's given us in His kingdom (andthe consequences of not investing ourselves in His Kingdom work)- and finally (truly finally) with this parable, Jesus shows us how to respond to his grace, and loveHim the way He wants to be loved.- Now…taking care of the poor is not new to the word of God. The Bible mentions the poor over 2000times.Isaiah 58:10…and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.- “spend yourselves” means give them your life! Leave it all on the field.- but what about taking care of ourselves…retirement…for when we're old?Matthew 6:19-2119 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thievesbreak in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do notdestroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will bealso.- So one could say that the Bible says to spend your life on behalf of the poor, not to spend your life tryingto avoid dying poor.- and you don't know when that is (by the way)Moving Forward:You serve people that God has put around you not because you want to get to heaven, but becauseJesus has changed your heart.Are you ready for that day?Are you ready to meet God?Are you ready to stand before Jesus and give an account?You might ask yourselves, or ask God: How can I be ready?1. Trust in Jesus…give Him your heart. Don't be close-fisted with your lifeTriangle2. Repent of your sin…Hebrews 12:1-3Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything thathinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out forus, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured thecross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him whoendured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.3. Listen to the warnings Jesus has given us in the last few weeks, and pray earnestly for Him to showyou where your heart is.:-The maidens (Matthew 25:1-13) consider themselves friends of the bridegroom, but they don'tlive in a way that anticipates his return.-The wicked servant (Matthew 25:14-30) considers himself in the employ of the Master, but he'snever offered his talents without reserve for the kingdom.-The “goats” (Matthew 25:31-46) are surprised to be rejected by Jesus, who they thought theywere faithfully serving. But when it came to pouring themselves out for the crushed people ofGod, they weren't engaged at all.Here's the sobering thing about these parables: There is no middle ground. You are either committed tothe mission, all-in for Jesus, and using your resources for his people and his kingdom, or you are not. Youare either a sheep or a goat. And that puts the lukewarm Christian in a very precarious position.- Have you offered your life and your talents, no matter your age, as an investment in the kingdom? Couldwe look at your giving and say that you are all-in with the mission of God? Would your calendar back upwhat your words say when you declare, “Jesus is Lord”?- This isn't the time to ask ourselves questions about our actions. It's time to ask ourselves questionsabout our faith…especially in light of Matthew 25- It's time to ask ourselves if we are giving God the first and best of ourselves, your time and your money,or are you giving Him the leftovers.- It's time to stop calling our complacency, apathy or indifference to those Jesus calls us to love, a “busyschedule” or “bills” or “forgetfulness”. Call it what it is…sin.We sang “Open the Eyes of my Heart”…Open the eyes of my heart, Lord. I want to see you. Not only hasJesus told us how to show Him love, but He has shown us where to find Him.4. Go to them…the hungry, the thirsty, to strangers. Clothe the naked…look after the sick…visit aprisoner.5. Use the gifts, talents and abilities that the master has given you to serve Him…to love God by lovingpeople.- If you don't feel like it, do it anyway. I can promise you that when we go to Africa and look in the faces ofthose kids, you bet I see the face of Jesus.6. Seek out opportunities…don't just sit and wait for them to come to you…Buy food for the blessing boxIf you see there's a meal train, jump on it…or start one for someone who needs itWe're currently putting together back-to-school items for newly arrived refugees and those lesspriviledged.Give from your time, your talent and treasure sacrificially to your church and other organizationsand people that God leads you to. Find an organization doing the work of God and help them. If you cantfind one, start one.Go to your neighborPractice loving people as an outpouring of your gratitude to a loving, merciful, grace-giving God

Harkening back to episode 73, Alexa and Yoel discuss recent evidence of fraud documented in the Data Colada blog post "Clusterfake." The post is the first in a series of four, which will collectively detail evidence of fraud in four papers co-authored by Harvard Business School Professor Francesca Gino. First, the co-hosts dive into the details, with Alexa soberly (in both senses of the word) explaining the revelations of calcChain. They go on to discuss the potential impact of these findings for collaborators, some of whom have begun conducting audits of work co-authored with Gino. In addition, they speculate about ways to reduce fraud that could relieve some of the burden from those who currently do this time-consuming and often thankless work. Finally, they consider what this means for a field still struggling to build a more trustworthy foundation.

Do you know what a Shinigami is? Neither did I, until I was persuaded to watch the anime, Death Note. Shinigami are the death gods of Japanese folklore. My interest piqued while watching Death Note and I decided to put together a fun Japanese folklore episode! Recently I've been working on watching a few anime series and decoding the messages within them. Anime does a great job revealing a little bit of truth in a creative & mystical way. I'm currently watching Attack on Titan (listener request) and man are there some clues about the giants and bloodlines in there!! (But I'm not ready to reveal my findings on this one just yet)! But the anime I will spending some time on today is Death Note. There are a lot of inverted characters and ideals in this anime. The symbolism of the red apple

So what's the lesson for us today? Harkening back to the beginning of this letter, there is a marvelous mystery: God's grace which draws us all together as one. The gospel message flows from the love of the Holy Spirit and the grace of God that we experience through Him. This means that our responsibility as members of the ekklesia is living humbly and in unity under the power of the indwelling Spirit. In other words, the Holy Spirit fills us and enables us to live a life of love, creating a church where everyone is willing to serve rather than be served. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lantanachurch/message

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague following the official start of the season with Trail Blazers Media Day. Together they'll take you through all the interviews from Monday morning and what they mean.  General Manager Joe Cronin stated “it will probably involve making additions soon and definitely in the future” after saying that they're going to need to be “focusing on their connectivity, more so than whether we're winning games on a nightly basis” so how exactly and where exactly does this play itself out? What should you watch for - what is “being connected?” Coach Chauncey Billups followed up Cronin saying “Trying to create a culture of connectedness, I want to be the most connected team in the league. The most connected teams are really successful. I want to be the team that no one wants to play.” Harkening back to his days with the Detroit Pistons - this leans more into the process over results that perhaps the Blazers are looking for. Connectedness as a culture very much being the driving force on and off the floor.  Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons echoed these sentiments, I asked them about the differences between the era of Lillard and now New Orleans Pelicans guard, CJ McCollum: With me and CJ we could score a lot of points, you could count on CJ to get 20-25, the difference this year will be - I'm going to make the right play, I'm gonna get in the paint hit the roll man, hit the corner…& with Ant I've had him here since he was 19 years old, I could tell him this is why I do this - this why I go about his and bc he was so young he was able to watch it and adopted that so early and he's unselfish - him being my rook, it'll be like there's 2 of us out there - Ant is going to make the right play. I won't look like my turn his turn. The ball will move around more naturally and it'll be more natural. There's so, so, so much more to pull from Media Day, dive on in and get involved with the guys from Jacked Ramsays now!

Last week, Regina suggested we talk about the then upcoming Prey to start the show. At the time, it did not feel it would be worth our time. This week we open the show by talking about...Prey. We discuss where it stands in the Predator franchise and how it handled the iconic alien. We also talk about some Shudder releases for August and take the opportunity to talk about The Cursed.Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes is a love letter to a very specific type of moving. Harkening back to European horror movies of the 1960s and 70s, the film will appeal fans of a very particular type of cinema. The question becomes does it have enough for mainstream audiences? Especially when it features an Agnes-like twist. Intentionally choosing style over substance can work, but are the filmmakers able to pull it off here.What Josiah Saw has a lot of the elements that we enjoy. Its Southern gothic setting and atmosphere is not something you see a lot of while its story unwinds like a book. It has the scares expected from a Shudder film, but also has strong characters. The story it tells is tragic, but its unique narrative structure is risky and compelling.So, what made it such a hard film to talk about? We were upset, frustrated, and disappointed by the ending. Some of us were trying to justify and make excuses while others just wanted to write the whole thing off entirely. We have a spoiler free discussion about the ending and debate whether it ruined the film or was the right way to end the story.Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Harkening back to the style of some of our older episodes, we take a looser definition of "Mac & Cheese" this week. The movie plot we create is a coming of age story about a couple of kids trying to work through things that even adults struggle with. The ending is bittersweet for our two main characters, and it's possible we work through some things ourselves.References and TranscriptSubscribe to the show:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsStitcherRSSConnect with us:TwitterFacebookInstagramRedditDiscord

In this episode of For The Wild podcast, we plumb into racial karma and healing systemic trauma in the American context with guest Dr. Larry Ward. Covering the neuroscience of trauma, the habit of racism, and various typologies of systemic trauma, Dr. Ward provides insight into how we might consciously choose to activate our neuroplasticity toward justice rather than collectively rewarding our neuroplasticity for violence and oppression. We are reminded in this episode that we are more than our colonial traumatic memory; we are, in fact, part of the one living reality of the natural world. According to Dr. Ward, cultivating a spiritual practice of awareness of our embeddedness with the world allows us to transcend the conditioning of the colonial mind. Harkening to the potential for anima mundi, the creation of a new world soul, we are invited to lead in the direction of the positive deconstruction of the current world order and to be vigilant in putting our minds and behaviors toward creating generative possibilities for the planet and generations to come. Dr. Larry Ward (he/him) is a senior teacher in Buddhist Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's Plum Village tradition, author of the book America's Racial Karma, and co-author with his wife Peggy of Love's Garden, A Guide To Mindful Relationships. Dr. Ward brings twenty five years of international experience in organizational change and local community renewal to his work as director of the Lotus Institute and as an advisor/dharma teacher. He holds a PhD in Religious Studies with an emphasis on Buddhism and the neuroscience of meditation. Larry is a knowledgeable, charismatic and inspirational teacher, offering insights with personal stories and resounding clarity that express his dharma name, “True Great Sound.” Music by Daniela Lanaia, Curran Runz, Lady Moon and the Eclipse, and The New Runes Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.

Julia Jacklin - "Lydia Wears A Cross" from the 2022 album Pre Pleasure on Polyvinyl. Four years after charming the socks off of us with her 2018 record Crushing, Julia Jacklin is finally releasing its anticipated follow-up. Titled Pre Pleasure, the record was conceived upon returning home at the end of a mammoth Crushing world tour and finished in a frantic few months of recording in Montreal. Our Song of the Day is the lead single and opening track off the record, “Lydia Wears a Cross.” Harkening back to her Catholic upbringing, a young Jacklin struggles with an understanding of what she's being fed while deeply enjoying the pageantry of the church. “I'd be a believer /If it was all just song and dance,” she sings on the chorus. In a statement, Jacklin describes the song like this: “The song is about a lot of things but mainly being a 7yr old Jesus Christ superstar fanatic attending catholic school trying to figure out which way is up. The music video was filmed by my constant collaborator and friend Nick Mckk at Splitpoint lighthouse. I played a show close by recently and asked on stage if anyone could let me film inside. Someone in the crowd knew a guy and that was it. The rest was filmed in the streets of Northcote, Melbourne.” Pre Pleasure was recorded in Montreal with co-producer Marcus Paquin (The Weather Station, The National) and finds Jacklin teamed with her Canada-based touring band, bassist Ben Whiteley and guitarist Will Kidman, both of Canadian folk outfit The Weather Station. It also introduces drummer Laurie Torres, saxophonist Adam Kinner and string arrangements by Owen Pallett (Arcade Fire) recorded by a full orchestra in Prague. Jacklin will be embarking on a US tour this August, with a date in Seattle on Friday, September 30th at the Crocodile. Watch her incredible KEXP in-studio performance from 2019 at the link below.

It must be raining purple, folks! Make that snowing purple. Co-host Garrett is back behind the microphone! And he's sick and tired of metro areas, not accustomed to snow, panicking at its possible arrival. Or maybe he just hates weatherman for inciting inclement inanity. Folks, we might see several snowflakes. Let the apocalyptic run on bread, milk and water begin! For special guest Carla from Burnt Korn, Alabama, clearly this suggests a cabal between weather forecasters and grocery store owners. And long john manufacturers. And probably the Illuminati. Co-host Arik can't stand it when you go to an inspiring film, then are ripped back to piss-poor-poop reality by a movie theatre bathroom. Harkening back to the infamous THN Poop Episode, sound engineer Pauly from Bali, joining us from Angkor Wat, where all the curtains match the grapes—crepes—drapes!—he simply wonders why we never see urinal cakes in films like “Carlito's Way.” Garrett with a groaner: “That really takes the urinal cake!” Then he proposes the idea of stadium movie seat “relief suctions”—plus a private bidet of one's own. NASA or Jeff Bezos should get on this ASAP. But THN Media is trademarking Stadium Pal and Stadium Gal right now. Finally, Carla reaches into the Mail Bag with a Hall of Fame Hate Epistle from Mary, formerly of Treynor, Iowa, now a Citizen of the World. She can't stand people who she despised in high school who now want to befriend her on social media. She accepts the requests of all former sluts, druggies and walking meat bags, but blocks them until she can verify whether they've learned anything in life. Invariably, they haven't. Nearly all have turned into right-wingers who blame the LGBTQ community for natural disasters. They simply traded one extreme on the spectrum of depravity and ignorance for another. Mary, that's why we're here for you. You're our former Little Miss Know-it-All forevermore. Also, folks, watch out for all those gay snow earthquakes. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thehatenapkin/support
