Special education teacher Angie Gallus made dog treats in class with her students as a way to teach job skills. They would bake, package, and sell to friends and family. When Angie reunited with a couple of former students who hadn’t been able to find jobs after graduation, she and her husband Kyle, also a special ed teacher, decided to fire up the oven again. The combination of producing treats dogs love and creating jobs for individuals with disabilities made the Galluses realize: “There’s something bigger here.” On the spot, a company was born. They named it Finely’s after their own pocket shepherd. Brand motto: “Treat with kindness.” That was 2016. For the first two years, they worked nights and weekends side by side with their former students, and sold the treats at farmer’s markets, breweries, and online. Then came their viral accelerator. Ashton Kutcher heard about Finley’s commitment to being an inclusive employer. His A Plus news site published a story, which the actor/entrepreneur shared on his own social media and the orders poured in. It prompted the Galluses to professionalize their packaging and step up manufacturing, paving the way for partnerships with regional grocers and pet specialty stores. Toward the end of 2019, after three years of bootstrapping the brand, they raised a $650,000 seed round through friends and angels—many of whom the Galluses say have children with disabilities and deeply appreciated the brand’s mission. They were poised to begin 2020 with a launch in the Pacific Northwest. But before the product could reach shelves, stores shut down due to the Covid-19 outbreak in Seattle. Flush with product, Finley’s pivoted to online, launching on Chewy.com and then Target.com. They also sell through Amazon. The pandemic turned out to be a great time to scale a dog treat brand. U.S. pet industry sales exceeded $100 billion for the first time ever in 2020 with pet food and treat sales leading the pack at $42 billion, according to the American Pet Products Association. That wasn’t Finely’s only lucky break. With the capital they raised months before the pandemic, Finley’s had launched a line of trainer bites, just 3 calories each. “We had no idea all of these dogs were going to get adopted, and then spend time with you on Zoom,” Kyle says. “The No. 1 thing people wanted was the dog off their laps and something to keep them happy.” Finley’s trainer bites outperformed the original biscuits last year in what Kyle describes as an “inferno of opportunity.” Having proven itself online, Finley’s is prepping for major store growth in 2021 including select Target and Safeway/Albertsons. The grocer is supporting Finley's mission of inclusivity by waiving slotting fees that most brands pay to get on shelves. In addition to hiring people with special needs, Finley’s added profit sharing to support the organizations that support its employees. “You can employ people with disabilities, but there are so many other barriers: transportation, job coaching. We want to give back to that as well.” Angie’s advice to other employers that strive to be more inclusive: “Make sure you’re actually asking employees what they need.” Often, what they need is the opportunity. “Sometimes you can’t see potential until you give someone a chance.” The Finley’s story made Associate Professor John McVea think about the value of work. In Back to the Classroom with University of St. Thomas Schulze School of Entrepreneurship, McVea points out that there’s much to learn about work from a group that is often excluded from doing it. “There’s this old idea that we work to earn and leisure is an escape from the drudgery.” A more modern take, says McVea, is careers of conviction: “We work for purpose and leisure is time to reflect. For people who are excluded, they don’t have the opportunity to continuously learn. Work is not just busy stuff, not just about making money. The actual act, the process of work transforms us.”
The headmaster sighed and shut out the old memory. He leaned forward on his desk. “Edwards, your marks and behaviour this year have been poor enough to earn expulsion several times over.” Hamilton watched the boy's chin drop. He shook his head and sighed again.Back to School is a short story from the Tall And True writers’ website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead. The podcast version of the story is presented in six instalments, one per chapter. At the end of each episode, Robert provides insight into the writing of the story and chapter.The show notes include links to Back to School on Tall And True and the podcast’s theme music and sound effects.Support the podcast: supporter.acast.com/tall-and-true-short-readsWriter's Insight into Back to SchoolIn earlier chapters, I explained how I wrote the original version of Back to School when I lived in England in 1992. In the handwritten draft, the working title for the story was A Second Chance. But when I typed it up on my old Amstrad PC, I changed the title to Another Chance. Like Charlie in the story, I left school when I was sixteen and worked for a while in the building trade. For many years in my early adulthood, I dreamed of being sixteen again and back at school, imagining different alternatives had I sat my final exams. One day in 1992, I decided to exorcise those dreams and give myself “another chance” by writing this short story.When I shared the story on Tall And True in 2017, I renamed it Back to School. By now, I was a father with a fifteen-year-old son about to enter his final years of high school. And around this time, my dreams of being back at school returned. Only now, I dreamed of being my middle-aged self, sitting in a classroom with my son, studying for our exams. And this prompted me to rename the short story, Back to School.I’ve been fascinated with exploring the cross over between dreams and reality for many years in my writing. Perhaps I was inspired by Franz Kafka. Or by the tale of the 3rd century BC Chinese philosopher Chuang Chou, who dreamed he was a butterfly. Afterwards, Chou was left confused. Was he was a man who had dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming he was a man?In Back to School, I leave it to you to decide if the sixteen-year-old Charlie dreamed of his future as an unemployed father or whether the adult Charlie dreamed of a past visit to his old headmaster’s office. Maybe there’s a third option, and the two Charlies exist in separate realities? Truthfully, I’m not sure of the answer— and I wrote the short story!Thanks for listening to the podcast.

From his earthen bunker, Tony describes how he ended up even farther into the depths of the earth while just trying to make some extra room for new rats. From his sewer, Kevin smiles benignly. This episode attempts to get at the nature of some strange relics they both found while exploring their pandemic-era digs: glassware in the shape of cans, with removable lids. When cans were made of glass, indeed! And the confusion doesn't stop there, as we travel back to the Sumerian Era of Mesopotamia for Fertile Crescent Sumerian Investigators's latest episode, "The Big Ziggurat" and Lieutenant Lugalzaggesi is excited about a new form of torture: waterboarding.

Jools shares more on her award-winning blog, VéloCityGirl, which focuses on different aspects of cycling, including cycle-style, her own adventures on two wheels, and how to widen participation in cycling. Jools’ blog and social media presence have evolved from being her ‘tiny corner of the internet’ (as she still calls it) to inspiring women and young girls around the world to get on the saddle and ride. Leading publication BikeBiz lists her as one of the most influential women in the UK cycling industry. The well-respected US publication Bicycling Magazine touts her as one of the 107 Cycling Digital Superstars in the world to follow. Instagram named Jools as one of the most influential female storytellers in their #MyStoryUK campaign. Jools now finds herself talking about cycling culture, and what it’s like to be a woman in that domain on platforms as varied as BBC Newsnight, the Design Museum, BBC Radio 4, and Southbank Centre’s WOW Festival. Jools most recent book - Back In The Frame was published in May 2019. About Back In The Frame: Jools Walker re-discovered cycling aged twenty-eight after a ten-year absence from the saddle. When she started blogging about her cycle adventures under the alias Lady Vélo, a whole world was opened up to her. But it’s hard to find space in an industry not traditionally open to women – especially women of colour. Shortly after getting back on two wheels, Jools was diagnosed with depression and then, in her early thirties, hit by a mini-stroke. Yet, through all of these punctures, one constant remained: Jools’ love of cycling. In Back in the Frame Jools talks to the other female trailblazers who are disrupting the cycling narrative as well as telling the story of how she overcame her health problems, learned how to cycle her own path and even found a love of Lycra shorts along the way.

AV Education — Confronting the ghosts of war Paul Morris went to Angola in 1987. He was a young soldier who had been conscripted into the South African Defence Force as it waged a brutal bush war against its neighbours. For 25 years Angola was the country of Paul’s nightmares. He returned to the country in 2012 - this time he wasn’t a 20-year-old soldier in an army’s armoured buffel; he was a middle-aged man on a bicycle. He cycled 1500km across the country to witness Angola in peacetime; to enjoy the beauty of the bush and to meet the people who live there. One of the people he met was Roberto, a Cuban, who had been fighting in Angola against the apartheid army - the meeting with Roberto was the most profound moment of Paul’s life. In Back to Angola, Paul's memoir published in 2014, he writes about a journey that took him back into the past as well as into the present.
In this episode of Back in America, I meet with Denis Devine a 46 years old man from Fishtown, Philadelphia. Denis, an ex-journalist, is the organizer of Dad's night a monthly meeting of men.For the last 6 years, Denis' Dads Night has brought together dads from his neighborhoods at different bars.The idea of dad's group, which count 350 members, came to him one day at a play-ground when he was watching over his kids.This safe space allows men to address topics related to dad-hood, dads-related cause, and non-traditional understandings of masculinity.In Back in America Denis talks about how he came to realize what toxic masculinity behaviors are after being beat-up one day, after school. He had the chance to be mentored by one of his school provisor who told him to embrace empathy and to express his emotions.In the interview, we also talk about the links between the traditional behavior associated with masculinity and the marketing promotion of the fossil fuel industry.Denis raises his children to behave in an environmentally conscious way and he wants to help them to understand how their lives will be affected by climate change.Denis and his wife gave-up their car last year, ride on a cargo-bike for his current job and to take his kids to school. He turns the heat down in winter and the AC off in summer. Music from Kabbalistic Villagehttps://soundcloud.com/kabbalisticvillage
This special edition of ‘Terug naar de Natuur’ (Back to Nature) - the podcast of Club Groeneveld and Sublime - was created in proud cooperation with ADE Green. In Back to Nature we have conversations with inspiring people about leadership, nature and the art of being human. In this episode Louis Bijl de Vroe has a conversation with Olaf Boswijk, founder of Trouw, which was one of the most influential dance clubs in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. More recently Olaf founded The Valley of the Possible, a ‘refugio’ where artists, scientists and other creative thinkers and makers are invited to envision alternative perspectives on the relationship with our planet. In September 2019 Olaf and Louis walked around sunny Durgerdam, a picturesque little village just outside of Amsterdam and talked about how landscapes create and shape culture and identity, how not to go back to nature but to go forward, how intuition almost always shows you the right way and how aligning with your dreams inevitably leads to success. Special thanks to Olaf Boswijk, ADE Green, Zoë van Liere, Jaap Brienen, Rick Waltmann, Marcel Tjepkema and Louis Bijl de Vroe. About Club Groeneveld Club Groeneveld network is a learning environment accessible for Dutch decision makers; leaders who care about (Dutch) nature and – in their leadership – want to be inspired by all that nature has to offer.
50 years ago, throngs of music lovers descended upon the small town of Bethel in New York’s Catskill Mountains. An estimated 500,000 people drove, hitchhiked and walked to get to the Woodstock Music Festival. It was billed as a three-day festival, but spilled into a fourth day -- from August 15th to the 18th. Dairy Farmer Max Yasgur agreed to host the event on his land after the town of Wallkill, New York backed out of holding the festival. But, unlike most music festivals today, with tight security and ticket scanners, the idea of accepting tickets was abandoned as the crowd grew ever larger. So the festival was essentially free for anyone who just showed up. By 1969, the country was well into the Vietnam War. With a lot of young people fed up with the political climate, Woodstock served as a respite -- a weekend of “Peace and Music,” which was the slogan used to promote the festival. And music was a central part of Woodstock. The lineup featured top artists of the day -- Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Jefferson Airplane to name a few. But, rain, mud and a lack of food plagued the festival. Still that didn’t discourage concertgoers. What it did was create a lifetime of memories. The legacy of Woodstock means something different to everyone. In Back to the Garden: Remembering Woodstock, people who were there 50 years ago reflect on some of the most iconic performances in music history, and share some of the most memorable experiences of their lives.

As I tore through Dr Kehinde Andrew’s new book, Back to Black, scribbling in the margins and highlighting passage after passage, I felt within me the fire I first felt reading Malcolm X and James Baldwin. In Back to Black, Dr Andrews calls us to revisit and reimagine the Black radicalism of yesteryear -- a Black radicalism that is too often conflated with cultural nationalism.My main question after reading the book was this: how do queer Black people adopt a Black radicalism that was historically exclusive and patriarchal? Indeed, after reading Back to Back, I immediately picked up bell hooks’ Ain’t I A Woman. In it she says this:“From their writings and speeches it is clear that most Black political activists of the 60s saw the Black liberation movement as a move to gain recognition and support for an emerging Black patriarchy.”But Dr Andrews reminds us that many of the leaders we lionise weren’t actually Black radicals and asks us to ask ourselves and each other whether the ideology is flawed or the men who led the movements?Back to Black covers everything from Pan-Africanism to Liberal Radicalism, and so whether he’s denying the Black radicalism of Beyonce or calling Black Panther a movie for white people, he does so to ensure we keep casting a critical eye and that we continually examine and interrogate ourselves and this movement so we don’t become complacent. We can’t just put on a beret and raise our fists, we have to actually roll up our sleeves and do something.Through this book, Dr Andrews reminds those of us with the fire of radicalism in our bellies, that the future we imagine is very, very possible.Dr Kehinde Andrews is an associate professor of Sociology, the director of the Centre for Critical Social Research, founder of the Organisation of Black Unity and co-chair of the Black Studies Association. He's also the UK's first professor of Black Studies.@kehindeandrewsThis episode of Busy Being Black contains snippets from preeminent Black activists:Stokely Carmichael's Black Power address at UC BerkeleyAngela E.

In Back to the Future, Marty McFly struggled to get back to 1985. If the Green Bay Packers continue playing as they have, it will seem like 1985 soon enough for fans. A shellacking at home from the lowly Detroit Lions has brought the Brett Hundley Era to a screeching halt, as players, coaches, and fans do some intense soul-searching. Enter Cheesehead Radio, where CD, Michelle, and Jayme break down the Martellus Bennett cut on Wednesday, how much longer Dom Capers has as a coach, and whether Hundley is really not the problem, as Mike McCarthy would suggest. Plus, Packers News, Packer Tweets from Packer Peeps, Hot Pockets, and Packer Game Predictions...who could ask for more?
