Greg Pogue with special guest RIck Insell, talking the upcoming basketball season.

In Act 1, we explored some jaw-dropping stats on arts access in New York City, the transformative power of the arts on emotional well-being, and why the arts deserve a place alongside core subjects like history and social studies. Our guest, Judith Insell, shared her insights on how the arts can be an economic engine and an accessible career pathway. If you missed it, be sure to catch up on that conversation! In Act 2, we get personal. Judith takes us on her own artistic journey, from discovering her passion for music at a young age to attending the prestigious LaGuardia High School and Manhattan School of Music. Through a series of serendipitous events, she found herself gigging professionally and stepping into arts administration by the age of 24. Judith reflects on the reality of supplementing her career as a musician with teaching and how her experience as a practicing artist has shaped her unique approach to arts administration today. This is a powerful exploration of the intersection of artistry and leadership.

Get ready for a mind-blowing conversation as Courtney sits down with the dynamic Judith Insell, Executive Director of Bronx Arts Ensemble, in the first act of this two-part series. In this episode, it's all about stats, stats, and more stats—showcasing the eye-opening numbers around the lack of arts access for kids across New York City. Judith and Courtney, you'll learn, believe that the arts should be advocated for in the same ways that subjects like history and social studies are, and they pose the question: Could and should people in positions of influence declare arts a core subject? Spoiler: the answer is YES! But their chat doesn't stop there. They unpack how the arts uplift emotional well-being, acting as a crucial tool for human connection and mental health. Plus, Judith brings the heat with insights on how the arts are an economic powerhouse and an exciting, accessible, viable career pathway. This episode is filled with passion and advocacy for an art-filled future for young people, and you won't want to miss a second of it!

- Seit einigen Monaten wird aller Orten über sogenannte "Bezahlkarten" für Geflüchtete gesprochen, die im Großen und Ganzen Bargeldauszahlungen abschaffen sollen und künstlich regeln, wo und was damit gekauft werden kann. Die Idee ist nicht wirklich neu, wohl aber dass sie bundesweit eingeführt werden soll, abseits schon einiger lokalen Insellösungen. Wir sprechen mit Anna Biselli von netzpolitik.org darüber, was genau geplant ist, welche Einschränkungen damit einhergehen (und nicht jede Bezahlkarte gleich ist) und was der eigentliche (Hinter-)Grund der Einführung dafür ist. - Ein wenig Verschiedenes aus Sachsen und die Termine

Wie kannst du mit PowerBI schnell Mehrwerte darstellen, ohne Quick and Dirty Lösungen zu bauen die niemand mehr warten kann?Darüber spricht Christian Krug, der Host des Podcasts „Unf*ck Your Data“ mit Dennis Hoffstädte Geschäftsführer der Datenpioniere.Gerade im deutschen Mittelstand bietet sich MS PowerBI durch die hohe Präsenz anderer Microsoft Produkte als Einstieg in die Analytics an.Mit nur circa acht Stunden Schulung kann jede Person im Unternehmen, Dashboards bauen und Erkenntnisse aus den Daten ziehen.Manchmal ein zweischneidiges Schwert. Denn so entstehen oft auch Insellösungen, die später nicht mehr zu warten sind oder es fehlen die Funktionalitäten eines „echten“ Data Warehouse.Doch wie kannst du dieses Chaos verhindern, ohne die Datenreise deines Unternehmens auszubremsen.Unter anderen über Leuchtturm Projekte. Schnell einen Mehrwert schaffen, dann den nächsten. Wenn alles erfüllt ist und läuft, dann kannst es bei Bedarf in ein Data Warehouse umziehen. Falls du überhaupt eines brauchst.Genau diese Reise und Pionierarbeit auf der Datenseite machen Dennis und seine Kolleg*innen mit ihren Kunden.Wie genau?

Im Zentrum der aktuellen Folge von Marktplatz Gesundheitswesen steht die Bedeutung von digitalen Gesundheitsplattformen. Als Gast zu diesem Thema empfängt Alfred Angerer den Head of Cuore Platform René Leuenberger, welcher durch vielfältige Beratungsprojekte bei E&Y und letztendlich die Pharmabranche die Leidenschaft für das Thema Digital Health für sich entdeckt hat. Als Betroffener hat René nach einem Ski-Unfall am eigenen Leib erleben können, wie stark das Schweizer Gesundheitswesen im Vergleich zu anderen Branchen in puncto Digitalisierung hinterherhinkt. Während seiner Behandlung musste er selber miterleben, wie er dazu aufgefordert wurde, identische Dokumente in wiederkehrender Regelmässigkeit entlang seiner Patientenreise auszufüllen. Dies verdeutlicht nur einmal mehr, dass in unserem Gesundheitssystem zu viele Insellösungen existieren, die Ineffizienzen und Doppelspurigkeit begünstigen. Gerade in Zeiten, die durch den zunehmenden Fachkräftemangel und das steigende Patientenaufkommen geprägt sind, gilt es Ineffizienzen durch Komplikationen bei der Übermittlung von z.B. Patientendaten, Berichten oder Laboraufträge zu verhindern. Um diesen Problemen zu begegnen, muss das Rad, laut René Leuenberger, nicht neu erfunden werden. Der Fokus sollte auf dem Vernetzen von qualitativ hochwertigen Anbietern liegen, welche bereits hoch entwickelte Dienstleistungen anbieten. Damit dies gelingt, braucht es jedoch einen einheitlichen und qualitativ standardisierten Datenaustausch. Eine digitale Plattform wie «Cuore» schafft in diesem Fall die dringend benötigte Brücke zwischen den heterogenen «Insellösungen», indem sie Anbieter und Nutzer zusammenbringt und somit eine Symbiose schafft. Und dort liegt demnach auch der Nutzen. Fernab des Mottos jeder schaut für sich, sollen alle Akteure entlang des Patientenpfades in gleichem Mass über die Patinent:innen und deren Beschwerden informiert sein. Wie beim physischen Transport der Briefe von A nach B, ist es die Aufgabe der Schweizer Post, den sicheren Transport der Daten von A nach B zu gewährleisten. Analog zu der Briefwelt besteht auch hier eine Art Briefgeheimnis. Der Post kommt mit der Bereitstellung der Cuore-Plattform somit eine Funktion als Daten-Transporteur zu. Erfahren Sie in dieser Folge u.a., wie sowohl Patient:innen als auch Leistungserbringer von einer digitalen Gesundheitsplattform profitieren können, welche Voraussetzungen dafür geschaffen werden müssen und den Business Case, der sich dahinter verbirgt. Für weiter Informationen besuchen Sie die Cuore-Webseite der Schweizerischen Post: www.cuore.post.ch Bemerkung: Diese Folge ist als Kooperation der ZHAW mit der Schweizerischen Post im Rahmen des Digital Health Reports 2023/2024 entstanden.

Mein heutiger Gast ist Ulrich Ahle, und diese Episode hat einen für mich sehr spannenden Hintergrund: Ich war zu Beginn des Jahres auf der LEAP-Konferenz in Riad, Saudi-Arabien, und das war ein in vielerlei Hinsicht äußerst eindrucksvolles Erlebnis. Eine der Reisen, wo fast alle meine Vorurteile auf den Prüfstand gestellt wurden. Auf dieser Konferenz hat Ulrich einen Vortrag zu Smart Cities gehalten, und dieser Vortrag war einer der interessantesten, die ich auf dieser Konferenz gehört habe. Daher freut es mich besonders, dass sich Ulrich für ein Podcast-Gespräch zum Thema Smart Cities, oder besser: Smart Communities zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Ulrich hat eine lange und erfolgreiche Karriere in der Fertigungsindustrie  und Industrie 4.0 hinter sich und gründet 2016 die FIWARE-Foundation, deren deren CEO er wird. In dieser Rolle hat Ulrich eine entscheidende Rolle beim Ausbau der FIWARE Foundation gespielt, die heute auf allen Kontinenten vertreten ist und mehr als 600 Mitglieder zählt. FIWare ist eine der führenden Lösungen für SmartCity/Community-Projekte, und noch dazu eine Open-Source. Warum das wichtig ist, werden wir im Gespräch diskutieren. Ulrich wird nun CEO von Gaia X, einer europäischen Initiative, deren Ziel es ist, , ein Ökosystem zu schaffen, in dem Daten gemeinsam genutzt und in einer vertrauenswürdigen Umgebung zur Verfügung gestellt werden.  Ich wünsche Ulrich bei dieser neuen und sehr wichtigen Herausforderung viel Erfolg. Wenn FIWare als Maßstab gelten darf, können wir von Gaia X in den nächsten Jahren viel erwarten! In dieser Episode beginnen wir mit der Frage, was eine Stadt oder Gemeinde eigentlich »smart« macht? Ist der Begriff überhaupt sinnvoll? Der Begriff Smart Communities wird als Oberbegriff für Projekte in Städten aber auch ländliche Regionen verwendet. Dies ist im Gespräch auch insofern relevant, als Ulrich auch Ortsvorsteher der Gemeinde Etteln ist und in dieser Gemeinde ebenfalls zahlreiche Smart Community Projekte umgesetzt wurden und werden. Wer sind primäre Gruppen, die von Smart Communities profitieren? Ist Industrie und Tourismus Teil der Smart City? Was ist mit Industrie 4.0?  Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Digitalisierung in der Verwaltung und Smart City? Die führenden »digitalen Gesellschaften« in Europa sind Estland, Finnland, Malta, Niederlande, Spanien? Was passiert in diesen Nationen und was können wir davon lernen? Beispiele für Smart City Anwendungen über die wir in der Episode sprechen sind: Parkraumbewirtschaftung Beleuchtung Müll-Management, Abfallbewirtschaftung dynamische City-Maut  intelligente Wasserwirtschaft Hochwasserfrühwarnsystem   autonom fliegende Drohnen zur Unterstützung der Feuerwehr im Dorf Predictive Maintenance vs. vorbeugende Wartung Stabilisierung des Energienetzes Wie sieht es mit systemischen Effekten (auch unerwünschten Nebeneffekten) aus, z.B. beim Smart Parking? Führt dies nicht letztlich zu mehr Verkehr? Wie Skalieren die Smart Community Konzepte auf mehreren Ebenen — vom Dorf bis zur Großstadt wie Berlin —, aber auch innerhalb einer Stadt, vom Kiez/Viertel bis zur gesamten Stadt und dies sowohl technisch wie funktional und politisch? Welche Formen der Datenvisualisierung und Dashboards gibt es für Verwaltung und politische Entscheidungsträger? In den letzten Jahren wird häufig von digitalen Zwillingen gesprochen. Was ist das und wird das im Smast City Umfeld genutzt? Wie ist das Wechselspiel zwischen digitaler und realer Welt abgebildet? Wie geht man einen solchen digitalen Transformationsprozess am besten an? Top Down? Bottom Up? Middle In? Unterschiedliche Zielkonflikte können drohen, vom Überdesign, das die Menschen am Weg verliert, bis zum Gegenteil, digitalen Silos und Insellösungen, die nicht miteinander kommunizieren, weil zu wenig strukturiert wurde. Wie gehen wir mit den Daten um? Daten haben in einer digitalen Welt ökonomischen und politischen Wert, gleichzeitig bedroht Digitalisierung die Privatsphäre, lässt sich das unter einen Hut bringen oder bekommen wir Smart Big Brother statt Smart Community? Was ist das Once Only Principle, das in Estland zur Anwendung kommt? Es gibt nicht nur erfolgreiche Projekte, die Stadt Toronto hat ein großes Smart City Projekt abgebrochen, was kann man daraus lernen? Welche Abhängigkeiten gibt es bei Smart Community Projekten — ökonomisch, politisch, technisch — und führen diese zu einer höheren Fragilität der Gesellschaft oder gar zu höherer Resilienz?  Wie sieht es mit Smart Communities rund um die Welt aus, von Saudi Arabien bis Indien? Können diese Projekte Menschen helfen (etwa in Afrika) aus der Armut zu kommen?

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Christoph Grimmer, CEO und Co-Founder von EET, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Series-A-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 6,5 Millionen Euro.EET ist ein Anbieter von Photovoltaik-Balkonanlagen mit und ohne Speicher. Das bekannteste Produkt ist die Photovoltaik-Mini-Anlage namens SolMate. Durch die Kombination mit dem Speicher lässt sich SolMate auch als Insellösung bei Stromausfällen betreiben. Zudem sei es mit der patentierten NetDetection-Technologie ausgestattet, die kontinuierlich misst, wo im Haus oder in der Wohnung wieviel Strom benötigt wird und leitet den überschüssigen Strom automatisch in den Batteriespeicher. Auf diese Weise können bis zu 50 % des Strombedarfs eines durchschnittlichen Haushalts gedeckt werden. Nach eigenen Angaben werden jährlich rund 1.000 SolMate-Anlagen verkauft, die in Graz hergestellt werden. Das Startup wurde im Jahr 2017 von Christoph Grimmer, Stephan Weinberger und Florian Gebetsroither als Spin-Off der TU Graz gegründet. Es ist mittlerweile in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz mit eigenen Niederlassungen aktiv. EET hat außerdem einen erfolgreichen Markteintritt in Italien geschafft und plant bereits, Frankreich und Spanien als neue Zielmärkte anzugehen.In einer Series A hat das österreichische Photovoltaik-Startup nun 6,5 Millionen Euro eingesammelt. Zu den Kapitalgebern zählen u.a. die bestehenden Investoren Junction Growth Investors aus Belgien und Statkraft Ventures aus Norwegen. Zudem beteiligte sich der Gründer von Sonnen, Christoph Ostermann, mit seinem Investment-Unternehmen Green Fortress. Er bringt, wie der Erst-Investor Klaus Fronius, ehemaliger CEO von Fronius, auch Expertise für Photovoltaik und Speicher ein. Durch die Zusammenarbeit mit diesen international erfahrenen Unternehmen und Business Angels erhält EET nicht nur weitere finanzielle Unterstützung, sondern auch Zugang zu Know-how, Netzwerken und Ressourcen. Das frische Kapital soll für die internationale Expansion eingesetzt werden.Hier geht es zur Webseite von EET.

The title is only the start of Isis Fabian. As with a lot of people who go through self-discovery, Isis, along the way learned that she was neurodivergent and could be classed as somewhere on the Autism Spectrum. She also learned that she had gifts, some of which made her different than some of her peers, but gifts that helped her function well in society. I am always fascinated to meet so many different people on Unstoppable Mindset especially those who recognize how to learn about themselves and who put their knowledge into practice to better themselves and the world. Isis fits that by any standard. After leaving College Isis worked at a London think tank for several years. While there, she began seeing patterns concerning how people interacted with and treated each other. She finally decided to leave her job at the think tank and joined a tech company where she still works today. Now, she gets to work much more closely with people as a subject matter expert concentrating a great deal on DEI, (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). I will leave it to Isis to tell her story. It is an intriguing story and worth your hearing and pondering. As I often have said in these notes, and I truly mean it, Isis as an introspective and thoughtful person offers many life lessons that can be valuable for all of us. About the Guest: Isis Fabian is a coach, writer, and speaker focused on expanding awareness, decolonizing thought patterns, and helping people understand and express themselves in order to be forces for positive societal change. Fabian is an expert on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) with nearly a decade of DEI experience, having spent most of that time conducting primary research on the US professional workforce and several global markets (Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, Germany, Poland, India, Hong Kong, and Japan). Fabian's work in research has included nationally representative mixed methodology projects on a broad range of talent cohorts and concepts to develop a deep intersectional understanding of inequity and marginalization in the workplace and beyond. Fabian's areas of expertise include belonging, microaggressions, unconscious bias, intersectionality, equity, White dominant culture, engaging advantaged groups in social justice, women's advancement, mentorship and sponsorship, sexual misconduct, and generational diversity. Fabian has also spent over a year each with professionals in the following talent cohorts, interpreting quantitative data and understanding the common themes in their workplace experiences: professionals with disabilities, Black professionals, Latine professionals, LGBTQIA+ professionals, Millennials, women in STEM, and veterans. This foundation of nuanced intersectional awareness across identity groups and industries, along with Fabian's own experience being agender and neurodivergent, guides how they build accessible content on complex topics, coach leaders from advantaged groups, facilitate conversations about identity and allyship, and envision systems and cultural norms that create equity and abundance for all.

Transcription Notes Michael Hingson  00:00 Access Cast and accessiBe Initiative presents Unstoppable Mindset. The podcast where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet. Hi, I'm Michael Hingson, Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe and the author of the number one New York Times bestselling book, Thunder dog, the story of a blind man, his guide dog and the triumph of trust. Thanks for joining me on my podcast as we explore our own blinding fears of inclusion unacceptance and our resistance to change. We will discover the idea that no matter the situation, or the people we encounter, our own fears, and prejudices often are our strongest barriers to moving forward. The unstoppable mindset podcast is sponsored by accessiBe, that's a c c e s s i  capital B e. Visit www.accessibe.com to learn how you can make your website accessible for persons with disabilities.

Glad you dropped by we're happy to meet you and to have you here with us.   Michael Hingson  01:21 Unstoppable mindset is on the air once again, my gosh, that's how it used to sound in radio right on the air. I guess we're in the ether or whatever, which is pretty close to being on the air. I am your host, Mike Hingson. We are glad you're here. And today we get to chat with Isis Fabian, who is an author, a coach, a speaker and has a lot of knowledge not only about diversity, equity and inclusion, but interacting with people and a lot of topics that will be fun to go into over the next hour or so. So Isis Welcome to unstoppable mindset.   Isis Fabian  01:57 Thank you so much. Right? Thank you for having me. It's great to be here.   Michael Hingson  02:00 We're, we're glad you're here really appreciate you being here and giving us a chance to chat and help teach us one thing or another. And I think that'll be a lot of fun. Absolutely. Well tell me let's start with you. As as a little Isis growing up or whatever, tell me kind of how things started or more by you going to school and some of the early parts of your life.   Isis Fabian  02:25 Yeah, well, I was, um, you know, I was born two weeks late. So it was my brother I was I was a very big baby. I was always mistaken as being a boy. When I was young. My parents actually started dressing me like a boy because people would come up to them in the street and be like, hey, get get that dress off of it. That's not right.   Michael Hingson  02:45 Where were you born? Where are you from?   Isis Fabian  02:46 Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Philadelphia.   Michael Hingson  02:47 Okay, yeah, that's a dress off that boy. Okay, yeah.   Isis Fabian  02:52 Yeah. And then my parents had a brother who was two years younger than me. And then they're like, oh, we'll just keep buying her boy clothes, because you know, he'll wear them next. And that works out. And yeah, I definitely as a child had a very different relationship to gender, it was so much more fluid, I really thought I could grow up to be a father, I just, I didn't realize kind of all the ways that I would be perceived, growing up into being a woman, a female, and what that would entail. But I didn't realize there was something weird about me until I was maybe in fourth grade is the moment I really want to point to because we had to vote on school uniforms. And it was a huge elementary school. And I was the only kid in the whole school who voted yes, on school boards. And that's when I started to realize that that was when I started collecting facts about myself things I said, or did, they got a negative kind of reaction and started to realize there's something different about me, I don't know what it is, but it's not normal. And there's something about my brain that is different from most of my peers. And that was when I started to collect that information and start really manually observing other kids and people and putting together how one is supposed to act and behave in this particular society. Despite all its absurd norms. I have   Michael Hingson  04:11 to ask, what did you discover and what did you conclude about yourself?   Isis Fabian  04:15 Well, for a while, I just thought I woke when I thought I might be like a psychopath. That was before I finished my psychology degree and realize that it's not accurate at all. But I did eventually discover that I was on some form of neuro divergence, but definitely on the autism spectrum, although by the time I discovered that I was so good at masking that it would be so expensive and impossible to get a diagnosis. And I am so I really just identify as neurodivergent but what it's meant is I see patterns and very complex things right. There's a lot of positives that come with it. I was always extremely good in school. I got the best SATs score in my grade, even though I didn't really prepare my parents never helped me with my homework. They know anything. I remember giving them an algebra question for the first time. And the question he would ask, I was like, Oh God, you know, once tonight I do on my own here with school, but it's still all came very naturally to me. But the social side of things did not so facial expressions, and what they mean and where they come from, I had to learn all of that manually and adapt all of that manually.   Michael Hingson  05:20 But you, you seem to have survived all that discovery? Are you still discovering about yourself?   Isis Fabian  05:26 Yeah, I survived it, I think I would say the trajectory was realizing something is weird, realizing kind of the shape of what was weird. I collecting a ton of data, so that I can act not weird in most situations, appear to be a kind of successful social person. And then finally get to the point where I'm now discovering the superpowers that come with this very active, fast processing pad pattern recognizing brain that are now you know, additive and beyond what I feel like I I noticed my peers and other people can do, especially in the workplace, and things like that. So that's the phase that I'm now definitely still discovering.   Michael Hingson  06:08 So what kind of superpowers?   Isis Fabian  06:11 Oh, wow, well, for one, I never have difficulty understanding kind of complex systems. I'll give an example like systemic racism, for instance, right. From the moment I learned that, that that people who looked like me enslaved people who looked like my best friend, when I was a kid living in West Philly, I knew that I lived in a society where being white was the easiest thing to be. And I didn't have to have that explained to me. And a lot of neurodivergent people, including people with ADHD will describe this very easy ability to kind of recognize and understand systemic issues because of that ability for pattern recognition. The other piece is being able to encode a lot of information very quickly. So in a conversation or in a debate or something like that, I could hear a lot, connect a bunch of dots, formulate a response and give a kind of coherent, put together synthesized reaction, very quickly to the point that I was told it was a problem at my last job, and I sort of figured out how to shut up in meetings, and just just just bite my tongue for a few minutes. So everyone felt like they kind of kind of equal opportunity to participate.   Michael Hingson  07:26 Just because you, you got it, and you're able to move forward. But yeah, I can understand people don't people would think you're a show off, and you're not trying to be a show off. It's just the way you are. But nevertheless, that's how they react, isn't it?   Isis Fabian  07:39 Yeah, I just get excited. You know, and I got that feedback. You're too intimidating. And you really need to work on that. And that was really hard to hear, because I felt like that said more about the other person than it did about me. Yeah, years later, I finally you know, I've tried to think more in terms of impact rather than intent. Part of my problem growing up was I was seen as as very rude because I would just say things that I considered objectively true. Like if someone said, this is such a good picture of me, and I said, that picture looks nothing like you, you know, that kind of thing. Very bad. You don't get good reactions for that. But I was confused. I was like, Why does someone say it's a good picture doesn't a good picture mean it, it looks like you. So I finally learned that it didn't matter what my intention was, it didn't matter if I was right. What mattered was the impact I was having on other people. And if that impact is making them feel bad about themselves or feel inadequate, I finally decided that that was not something I wanted to be doing, and really shifted my perspective from there,   Michael Hingson  08:38 you and Hermione from the Harry Potter series.   Isis Fabian  08:42 That's, that's such a compliment. Thank you.   Michael Hingson  08:46 Did you face a lot or any real discrimination growing up? Or can you can you point to anything that gave you that impression?   Isis Fabian  08:56 I mean, certainly not as much as a lot of other people, but I was certainly you know, other than and marginalized for my my weirdness at times, I think being a white girl is one of the most difficult things you can be as an autistic child, because the automatic kind of communication style is passive aggression. You know, and it's so complicated for someone who has a literal mind and hears, interprets everything literally. Honestly, I was probably spared quite a bit of bullying, just because it was happening. And I probably didn't even realize it was happening. Like I didn't get invited to the birthday party that everyone else got invited to, even though I was closest to the birthday girl compared to a bunch of other people. And I would be like, Oh, it was just an oversight. You know, and I would really believe that and like when someone tells me Yeah, like, she must have just forgot like, even though everyone's trying to like, insult me or push me out. Like I truly would just take everything very literally and take everyone's words at face value. And so I probably was bullied more than I realized I had a lot of moments of girls trying to be mean to me or trying to say something to put me down and I just didn't under Stand what they were saying. I just couldn't process it. And I've just filed away for later than look back years later and be like, Oh, okay, that's now that I've learned the language of passive aggression. That's what that was.   Michael Hingson  10:11 And that probably frustrated them more than anything else because you didn't react.   Isis Fabian  10:16 Yeah. Oh, yeah, definitely.   Michael Hingson  10:19 And of course, the other societal attitude that girls aren't supposed to really be that bright. Right?   Isis Fabian  10:25 Well, it's interesting, because I went to a pretty liberal public school, and I had a lot of teachers, including men who would say, you know, girls go to college, get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupid, or like, it was very in vogue at that time for teachers to call boys stupid and be like, Oh, he doesn't know. He's a boy. And like, especially male teachers, it was weird. I feel like it was a weird kind of brief moment in time. And that's when I was going through school. So I really, until I got to college in New York, and I started to, you know, really come up against sexual assault and that kind of thing. I had no idea I was at such a societal disadvantage for being a woman to be honest.   Michael Hingson  11:05 So you went through school, though, and you certainly seem to survive and sound like an intelligent, normal person to me, somebody who's very enthusiastic, like Hermione, so there we go. But but you know, so you went on, and where did you go to college, or how did all that work out?   Isis Fabian  11:24 I went to New York University. And it was amazing, because I had felt like an adult and a little child's body for so long. And I was just so excited. I was also six foot one, by the time I was going to college and eventually got to six, two, so I was treated like an adult. And I had to exist in the world as an adult, when I felt like an adult for the first time, I still had a lot of those social shortcomings in college. But I had learned enough from my high school experience about how to be a popular girl, you know, and so all the popular girls from the other high schools that came to NYU, all gravitated to me and we all became like this group of popular girls that it was such a weird time, because I had never been in that in that population before. And it was so looking back, I mean, it's very kind of cutthroat, place to be in. And it's, it's a little bit scary. But again, a lot of it what over went over my head. And that was really just the point of time where I kind of became an adult and then eventually really found the people that I wanted to be close to and have as lifelong friends.   Michael Hingson  12:29 Did you find from an intellectual standpoint, though, the college challenged you a lot more than although you are good at detecting patterns and figuring those kinds of things out. Did college challenge you more with that?   Isis Fabian  12:43 A little bit. Some of my classes, yes. Others I was like shocked at how much harder they were for some of my classmates than they were for me. But classes, like in economics college is where I discovered economics. And that was just a huge thing for me to learn, you know, micro economics, the way like tax incidence is calculated and how price elasticity works like these were all these new concepts that helped explain the world around me. And, you know, I took money in banking, I took econometrics, I finally had language and math with which to look at the economy in which we all live and participate. And that that was hugely exciting. It was challenging, because I took pretty challenging classes, but really, really exciting.   Michael Hingson  13:26 What did you want to major in and be when you got out of college when you when you first started, at least?   Isis Fabian  13:33 When I started, I was thinking psychology because I took AP Psychology in high school. That was pretty much the only reason and it was also one of those things where I had this inkling like I might figure out what it is about my brain. If I stick with this, and keep learning more about this. And I if anyone who's majored in psychology probably has had the same discovery that a lot of people with a wide range of neuroses and mental health conditions are psychology majors. So yeah, I was certainly among quite a hodgepodge of people. I did end up doing a double major in psychology and economics. And I came one class short of a minor in Spanish as well.   Michael Hingson  14:13 Wow. So you're you're a pretty busy person.   Isis Fabian  14:17 I guess so I'd love to learn still do.   Michael Hingson  14:20 Yeah, there's nothing better than learning which is one of the reasons I love unstoppable mindset. I get to learn from so many people even though they're short hour long courses. Every little bit helps. Yeah, well, what did you do after you graduated?   Isis Fabian  14:34 So after I graduated, I kind of fell into working at this think tank. I'd worked a little bit at a at a nonprofit in London before that just as like an internship. And so because I had that nonprofit experience, I guess I had and I've done a lot of research for that role as qualified for this role at a research think tank that was focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. I never heard of that before. It was just called Diversity and Inclusion at the time. And it was such a bizarre world because it was this company that had its own, you know, political hierarchy. And it was dominated by white women. So it was that same population that I had struggled with so much earlier. And I barely had the means to deal with at the adult, elite level of adult white women passive aggression, but I, I liked that it had a, you know, social equity component. I liked what we were helping companies do, we putting out research about these topics and consulting with companies to make leaders more inclusive and things like that, but a lot of what was happening inside the company, like a lot of nonprofits, we were not practicing what we preach. I think that's the case for a lot of people who have nonprofit experience, but that's where I was at being there for seven years. And that's where I really got the basis for my research foundation. Now, you said you worked in London for a little while. Not long at all. I was there. When I studied abroad, I had an internship that was one of those brutal parts of my life. I was doing my double major living in London, which I did not like, I did not like London one bit. And doing that internship. So it was very brief.   Michael Hingson  16:09 Big Ben kept you awake at night? Hmm.   Isis Fabian  16:13 It was just not I felt like someone I lived in New York for a while that point, right. So it was like it felt like someone saw London. And then they're like, I could do better. They made New York, they felt like taking a step backward.   Michael Hingson  16:24 Well, still, I'll pop it you gain some things from the experience over there. I mean, you couldn't help it, I'm sure.   Isis Fabian  16:31 Yeah, definitely. I mean, it's my first real professional experience, it was exciting to actually be like working on something that had nothing to do with school and nothing to do with an assignment, right? Like I was researching for larger projects and contributing something, it was a totally different mindset.   Michael Hingson  16:48 So you went off, and you worked for this company for seven years. And then you left or what happened?   Isis Fabian  16:57 Well, while I was there, I by the time I left, I was doing three different jobs. And you could not put everything I was doing in the job description. And that was one of the reasons I left I felt like, you know, I was really being taken for granted. And I was really being worked to the bone, I was having a hard time. But the bigger reason was after seven years, and you know, most of those years spent doing qualitative research, in addition to interpreting a lot of quantitative data on the, you know, white collar knowledge worker workforce, I was seeing because of this pattern based mind, I was seeing these tremendous commonalities across groups, you know, I was interviewing, between the interviews I did, the focus groups I did, and the big online virtual focus groups I did, I must have talked to 1000s of people around the globe, about their experiences. And I started to see these commonalities. But it just wasn't clicking for the people above me at this research organization, I felt like they were always trying to take the qualitative quotes or something and shove it into a pre existing storyline or pre existing story, whether the project was about black professionals or about women in STEM. And I felt like I was having this like mind blowing discovery experience with every conversation I had, because I was able to take all the information from that conversation and kind of aggregated, synthesize it but also file every story away in my mind to come back to for later. And it was a really incredible experience. And after enough time, I just felt like I'm not serving, I'm not doing justice to the people who are taking the time out of their lives to tell me these stories, by staying at this organization and continuing to try to put people into these big data, buckets and warp those stories to fit a narrative. So that was why I left I wanted to go work with real people and support people directly and be a resource for them.   Michael Hingson  18:46 So what did you do?   Isis Fabian  18:48 So I came to a tech company, where I am at currently working kind of as a just an internal subject matter expert, I do a lot of presentations, like I told you, before we started I was just in San Francisco doing an external presentation for our community of lawyers in our ecosystem on implicit bias. I just tried to make that content as accessible as possible for people, I really make it clear that I do not subscribe to 95% of what the diversity and inclusion industry does, because it hasn't worked or it has backfired. And I'm like when I see you know, the scared white men on my Zoom screen. I'm like, we're not here to shame and blame people. We're all here to learn and grow together. Because making someone feel bad has never helped them learn. Right? Like that's that's never been the case. Shame has never served to do that guilt has ever served to do that. And so I really tried to help people look inside themselves, their own intersection of identity, their own set of lived experiences, their own preconceptions, and to interrogate that in ourselves, I think it's really important to reframe, you know, the Diversity and Inclusion and Social Justice conversation is often said To shut up and learn, right? Like you have so much to learn, you have so much to learn. I really think it's a lot more to unlearn, there's so much to unlearn. And we're capable of doing a lot of that by just really interrogating our own kind of beliefs.   Michael Hingson  20:12 It's interesting to hear you say what you did, the way you do that the dis, the diversity and inclusion in history hasn't worked. I mean, that's a very relevant way to put it, because it hasn't diversity, for example. And it's my pet peeve, which I talk about here occasionally. So hopefully, people don't get too bored. But disabilities are not included in diversity at all, it's been completely thrown out. We hear about gender, race, sexual orientation, and so on. But people don't even deal with disabilities. And my position is, that is so unrealistic, because every single person on the planet has a disability. And for most of you, it's that your light dependent, you don't do well when there's not light around, and your disability gets covered up by the fact that a light bulb was invented. And it's a very low tech solution, although we're doing better at making more efficient light bulbs, but still, power goes out, you're in a world of hurt, you know, for me, it doesn't matter at all. But nobody pays attention to the technology that that deals with your disability. At the same time, nobody wants to spend money when looking when I look for a job to give me alternatives that will allow me to do the same thing that you can do. Or people think it's so amazing how a blind person can use a computer. Why? You know, we we really just don't deal with true inclusion at all. And I will let people get away with saying, Well, we're inclusive, because we deal with women and race and so on, but you don't deal with disabilities, you're not inclusive, all right, diversities been changed. But disability does not mean a lack of ability. And it is a characteristic that in one way or another we all have,   Isis Fabian  21:59 right. And people who wear glasses too, right? It's like great solutions there for you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see either. And I think you know, when it comes to race and gender and sexual orientation, all these other categories that hasn't been solved for either these organizations aren't inclusive, to anyone if they were then anyone from any background would have that experience of belonging and an equal opportunity to reach their full potential and an equal opportunity to demonstrate that potential. And that is just not the situation that we're in, we actually did do a project while I was at that organization on professionals with disabilities, that was a global project. So I got to talk to people in Brazil and the UK across the US. And these are people like companies, you know, who have I don't know, if you I'm sure you're familiar with the federal government mandates, you must have 2% of people in your workforce have to have a disability if you're going to contract the federal government, and those are the companies right, once they get that requirement. They're like begging all their employees to disclose their disability, but they're not an environment often where it's safe to end for people with visible disabilities. You know, they're not even coming to work to that at that company in the first place. Because it doesn't have those, those inclusive practices.   Michael Hingson  23:08 What's ironic about that is that 25% of all persons, according to the Center for Disease Control, have a disability. Why isn't a 25% ought to have have a disability, or they don't, but they don't deal with that. It's also like, when you're going off and dealing with government contracts, they've got this thing called set asides for women owned businesses, veterans and so on. Nothing for persons with disabilities. And it's it's it's ironic, and we've had mandates, we've had requirements, regulations, and so on regarding internet and website access from the federal government about the federal government since 2010. Yet, overall, the number of or the percentage of websites within the government that are truly accessible, it's not all that high. Right? Right. It's,   Isis Fabian  24:02 yeah, and I always point to that, like, I, when I have these diversity conversations, there's so many people who feel like hyper competent on diversity or whatever now. And I always bring in like, where's your ableism? At work that when was the last time you looked at that, right? We're all at different places on these different journeys. And if you really commit to it, you get to that place where you see the intersection of all of these groups and those shared experiences and disability is one of the most important ones to talk about. Because even with the Americans with Disabilities Act, I mean, we go back not that long ago, we had the ugly laws. And now today, we have, well, we have a lot of people getting long COVID Right and realizing how difficult it is to be someone with a disability in this country. We also have restrictions on how much money someone who is on disability can have in their bank account and you can still pay people disabilities below minimum wage, like we're clearly a country and a government that wants to devalue and marginalize the lives of people with disabilities despite the fact that to your point, so many people have Have them in a study we did actually found that 30% of knowledge workers have disabilities.   Michael Hingson  25:05 Fortunately, like some of the minimum wage things are are getting better like sheltered workshops that were required under Section 14 C of the Javits, Wagner eau de Act are. One, we're allowed to pay less than minimum wage, and a lot of that is fortunately, getting to not be so acceptable anymore. But it's just such a long process. And it shouldn't have to be that way.   Isis Fabian  25:31 Yeah, I love the example you gave about light bulbs, the way I, the one that I give it, I'm sure you've heard this one before, is imagine if you woke up tomorrow, when everyone could fly, except for you. You'd be like, Oh, well, you know, I can still use the stairs or use the escalator or use the elevator, I'll get ready to go. But what about when they start taking those things away, and I build new buildings that don't have escalators that don't have stairs don't have elevators, because you're the only person who can't fly. Now you don't feel like there's nothing wrong with you, right? You just have been made to have a disability by your environment, it's this, our culture, all of us contribute to it. That's why I find it so fascinating people like oh, I've never even thought about ableism and disability before when every person participates in it to such a great extent, just by existing in this society and going about our lives the way we do.   Michael Hingson  26:18 Well, it's really fascinating the way we look at a lot of things, you go into many places of business. And you can go into the break room. And there's this nice fancy coffee machine where you can get hot chocolate tea, 500 million different kinds of coffee, and all you got to do is touch the screen and you're in good shape. But they don't even much make machines anymore, with buttons that would allow me to have the same level of access. And there are some alternatives I can use, if I can afford them, or if the company would pay for them. Like there's a service called IRA, a IRA, which is an app that uses a we uses the phone's camera, and a Kinect with an agent and the agents are specially trained to describe. And they're very well trusted. So you can even use them to go over tax information and banking information and all that because the agents know how to read it and give you what you want. They're trained to do that. And they signed confidentiality and non disclosure agreements. So it's a really sophisticated operation. But at the same time, it costs money. And a lot of companies won't even pay for it. I know a lawyer in Canada, who wanted to use IRA, and she was a lawyer dealing with colleges and so on and at a campus. And fortunately, she and we helped was able to demonstrate why it was valuable for her to have access to IRA to be able to read documents, Ford disclosure and and for dealing with discovery for for court trials and so on. So she more than paid for itself. But it still took more work than it should have to make that happen.   Isis Fabian  28:10 Yeah, absolutely. And there's so many people who just, they can't advocate for themselves to that level, they shouldn't be expected to, they don't want to put themselves in that position. Or they're told, you know, not to rock the boat. And it's just so many so many people who do not get what they deserve and what they are entitled to just to do their job.   Michael Hingson  28:28 So for you, how does your neuro divergence intersect and deal with your advocacy and your your goal of dealing with social justice?   Isis Fabian  28:40 Well, I think like I said, a lot of neurodivergent people or maybe I didn't mention this, you don't really have a passion for fairness. You know, we're very obsessed with fairness, a lot of us and I think part of that comes with having to learn all the rules of this society, right? You learn through trial and error. It's very manual kind of process. We don't kind of, or at least speaking for myself, I didn't learn these things automatically. And so then when I see injustice, unfairness, I just can't I can't just accept it and not want to participate in doing something about it. That's kind of where it started. For me. I was like, I can't What am I going to do go get a job in wealth management or something and what just exist in this completely unfair world where it's all going to be on my mind, I did think about trying to get maybe you get into senior positions somewhere else and you can advocate from there but it's just all I ever wanted to put my passion into and I see how our collective liberation is tied up into this right like ableism is another great example we are all suffering for living in an ableist society every person whether they consider themselves to have a disability or not the ways that we are expected and acculturated to hide. You know, the ways that we need help for instance, the ways that we marginalize and dismiss people in our lives when they fall ill and they need needs support. We've just normalized this, this marginalizing of anyone with any kind of infirmity, or disability of any kind. And now we have all these people with long COVID. And this huge population who are joining the ranks of people who are not served by this environment. I mean, it's just all of this affects all of us. And I use that also talking about like, white supremacy culture, and the way that shows up for white women. One of those ways is perfectionism. You know, perfectionism is killing us. It's such a big part of our culture among white women. And it's, it causes a lot of suffering. These are all interrelated concepts, if we could liberate ourselves from all the things that prevent us from just living as our full, authentic selves, able to participate, fully able to actualize our unique potential fully, we would all every single one of us be better off right men would be better off without patriarchy. And the foreman exists all the pressure that puts on men to be a breadwinner to, to not show you know, vulnerability and certain emotions, to not enjoy certain things or hobbies. Like there's so many ways that that that patriarchy obviously hurts women, but it's also hurting men. And so rich men as well. Yeah, a lot in herds, especially boys today, you know, I I'm worried about how easily radicalized they can be by someone like Andrew Tate, I don't know if you've heard of him, but there's a lot of these podcasters and the Insell world? And no, it's because they have none of these role models, because visible role models of positive masculinity, and there's just proliferate writing, you know, role models of negative masculinity. But yeah, I think once I've really discovered, I have a talent for explaining some of these things to people, I have a talent for creating space for people to explore these things and move along in their understanding and their own passion and activism. And all I care about is, you know, being able to bring that freedom and joy to other people that comes with being able to actualize your own potential. So that's, that's why I guess, you know, if I wasn't neurodivergent, I'm not sure I ever would have gotten to that place.   Michael Hingson  32:05 Well, but you are who you are, and you do work to be yourself. And it's, it's unfortunate that sometimes we we are so discouraged from being ourselves where we're, well, people try to fit us into a particular mold and particular way of, of thinking or they want to think about us in a certain way. And when we aren't that way, they get pretty upset.   Isis Fabian  32:31 Yeah, yeah. And my brothers. Oh, sorry. Good. No, go ahead. Yeah, I just the other, I guess, big pieces, my brother and his journey with bipolar and some really difficult, you know, life experiences has also been the other big catalyst for me. It forced me to let go of everything that was superficial and not important in life, and recognize how much of all these social rules and social success and whatever that I had learned how to perform, was meaningless and not useful, and not who I was not who I actually was. And so it took the kind of safety of that successful, you know, social existence for me to discover that it started shedding those things. But my brother's own difficulty, you know, with psychosis, he disappeared at one point, right, the beginning of the pandemic, we came this close to dying. And between that and the pandemic, it was really the trigger to journey inward to recognize what's really most important to me and to find who I really am. And the joy that has come with that is just something I want to bring to as many people as possible.   Michael Hingson  33:42 I was going to ask you about your brother and what's what's going on with him and just learn a little bit more about him because you guys have in, if you consider what what's going on with him to be a disability, you both have different kinds of disabilities. So how does that interact? And how does, how does your journeys together been?   Isis Fabian  34:01 Yeah, yeah, we definitely both have disabilities. And, you know, at some point he's diagnosed with bipolar is that in different diagnoses, maybe they'll change at a certain point, when it comes to mental health conditions like that. You're you just get to know the person and the conditions so thoroughly that no diagnosis is gonna give you more information than what you have, from your experience with that person. He's doing extremely well. Now. I mean, after this last episode, and April 2020, he went through this like a dark night of the soul in the middle of this, they had like an ego death experience. It sounds like what people have experienced on you know, extreme psychedelics, you know, and he came out of it and almost Jesus like version of who he was before. I mean, he used to be someone who was very antagonizing, very grandiose, very difficult just in a lot of ways. He made my childhood very difficult. At home, just he could just push me to this day, no one can get me to raise my voice except for my brother. And he still doesn't know he doesn't do it. And so now I just now I have a new superpower that no one can get me angry no one on earth. He's just undergone this complete transformation. And I'm so grateful. I mean, it's a miracle that he is the man he is today, given what a tyrant and a demon he was as a child. But he also has suffered so much. And all of that behavior, as it often does, you know, came out of suffering. And so, you know, going on that journey with him having to recognize that someone experiencing psychosis, right, which is literally you're experiencing a reality that is different from the consensus reality that everybody else is experiencing, or that everybody else would agree to. Going through that with someone and really digging deep to figure out where they're coming from and what's happening to them and not coming from this paternalistic, patronizing, you know, silencing approach that is so normalized in our society, unfortunately, as a way of reacting to mental illness and people with mental health conditions. I'm so grateful that our family has never stigmatized taking medication for anything. And he's been able to do so well, I think because he's had just the unconditional love and support of every person in his family. But at the beginning of this, when things really started getting bad, I was not helpful. I was very ableist, you know, I was very much looking down my nose at him and be like, Oh, I can't believe this is happening to me, you know, now I have a crazy brother, you know, like that was, I'm just being honest. Like, I have to be honest, in this work like that is where I was at. And through him, I transformed from that person, to the person that I am now and have a lot more humility, and I'm just very grateful for everything he is taught me whether intentionally or not, I've learned so much from him. Well, I   Michael Hingson  36:45 don't want to give him ideas if he ever listened to the podcast, but now that he is the way he is, does he have a sense of humor? Oh, he's always sensitive. So So has he. So now when is he going to get you to raise your voice just to spite you?   Isis Fabian  36:58 Oh, man.   Michael Hingson  37:02 I told you so don't let him listen to the podcast.   Isis Fabian  37:04 No, no. Honestly, he I can't even tell him about some of the things he said and didn't when he was younger, because it devastates him so much. He doesn't even remember you know, when he's when you're a kid, you're just and you're looking for someone's buttons, you know, you'll say whatever you'll do, whatever. Now He's so sensitive and so sweet. He's devastated to hear about these things is like, oh my god, I can't believe I said that to my own sister. I'm so sorry. I'll never make it up to you, you know? And I'm like, listen, listen. I don't need any apology. Right? Like who you are today is better than I ever hoped that tyrannical little boy could become. So please, I was very we're all good. There's nothing that you said or today does as a child that could possibly taint my experience. So if you heard the podcast, he probably wouldn't. I hope he probably.   Michael Hingson  37:46 At least I'll make him. At least we can make him smile. Yeah. So you're six to how tall is he? He is six, five. Okay, so the two of you got to do great at volleyball. I won't go to basketball but you guys got to do great if   Isis Fabian  38:01 you would think I did get recruited by our high school volleyball coach at a school dance when I was a sophomore. He was angry. I remember anger from the six foot seven man saying why don't I know who you are. But he made me come to a volleyball practice. It did not go well. It didn't go well. Well, it's just not. I'm not that coordinated, unfortunately.   Michael Hingson  38:20 Well, nevertheless. It's another goal.   Isis Fabian  38:25 Oh, yeah. I mean, now I'm married to a six foot eight man who played basketball, you know really well. And he's come back from a basketball game last night. He still plays it intramural and I'm like you better pray. We have kids, they get your your athleticism and not mine. They'll just become another six foot two theater kid.   Michael Hingson  38:43 No kids yet? No, not yet. We actually just got married in September. We'll see there you go. Well, things to shoot for? Start your own team. But you know, I'm, I'm really glad to hear about your brother. And that's great that he's he's really become a person who's a lot more aware of himself and that you guys have a much better relationship. I would think now than you have in the past, which is so cool.   Isis Fabian  39:09 It's awesome. And when you have a sibling you know, they all you went there all you have at the end of the day when you lose your parents like it's so incredible to have that relationship with a sibling and it's so devastating. It would be so devastating to me if I didn't have it. So I am grateful for him and you know, innumerable ways   Michael Hingson  39:27 so you don't have your parents anymore. Now we do we do.   Isis Fabian  39:31 They're getting old though. My dad's about to turn 70 Just you know, they were older significantly older than us and you know, they won't they just won't be around forever. So I just lucky to have a sibling at all, but especially one that I have such a close relationship with   Michael Hingson  39:44 unless they spied you and decide if they're gonna stay around no matter what you think.   Isis Fabian  39:48 Oh, listen, I actually love my parents and hanging out with them a lot. I hope they stick around to 120 that's that's good with me.   Michael Hingson  39:57 Yeah, well I won't be 73 next month, I figure I'm gonna stay around for quite a while yet.   Isis Fabian  40:04 Great, you're probably in better health of identity.   Michael Hingson  40:08 I've been working with that, though, I will admit. So that's true. Well, so in terms of all that you're doing, with with all the learning and so on that you've had, and I know that you obviously love to learn and continue to learn. How is all that impacting or helping you in what you actually do today? And so, you, you, I know, you just got back from talking to lawyers, and so on. So what, what do you do? And in terms of your job, and how has everything made that possible?   Isis Fabian  40:44 Yeah, well, I think spending seven years getting to do this research and talking to people from so many different identity groups has definitely given me more of a bird's eye view of these systems of oppression and things like that, and having to observe my own thought patterns from such a young age. And really, notice the way my brain works and reacts to things has given me I've now learned in the work I've been doing more recently, the ability to kind of bring thought processes into conscious awareness. So for example, one of the things I teach about a lot is implicit bias, right. And most unconscious bias trainings are not impactful. In fact, many of them backfire. And they often consist of listing stereotypes about different groups and how you shouldn't believe these things. But what I do is not just explain the different types of implicit bias, but really explain how they work and how they feel when they show up in our minds, and how we can deconstruct our use of biases and our use of mental shortcuts in our own thinking in our own minds. And I always give examples, right? Like I I'll give like 10 examples in a given presentation. One off the top of my head is like, I noticed one day as I was on a crowded subway platform going up the stairs that I didn't get out of the way for a black man. But I did get out of the way for a white guy. And I just noticed that it happened, kind of back to Mac. And then I realized like, oh, wait, what was that? Like, I had noticed that. And that's part of my neuro divergence is I noticed a lot, I noticed so many things in my environment, I noticed. And I just collect information. And so now I have the skill set to actually look at that information. And identify Is there a bias there? So for most people, you know, they don't even notice moments like that, but I use those examples, because then people might look for those moments in their own lives. And then I'll use others of you know, say, I'm interacting with a new colleague, and I leave the interaction with a negative feeling about them, or a negative feeling about myself, you know, we have the capacity to go back and, and reflect on that interaction, reflect on where that feeling came from, what was the triggering moment, what was the impression that I had of that person. And then to realize, maybe the person that I thought was arrogant, right is actually someone that I feel intimidated by, or I feel threatened by. And if they had been a different gender, or if they had been older than me instead of younger, or if they had been the from the same group as me or anything like that, I might not have had that reaction. But we have to take the time to actually reflect on those things to recognize where we might be relying on a bias or a mental shortcut. Instead of just assuming this, this false notion of objectivity. Nobody can be objective, even our visual world, and it's so hard for sighted people to understand, but the visual world is not an objective reality, right? I'm also an avid lucid dreamer. And so I wake up in dreams all the time. I'm like, this looks exactly the same, you know, it's the same. And I'm being you know, my brain thinks it's the same everything's it's real, right? I just in the middle of this book, The Case Against reality by a Donald D. Hoffman that deconstructs how, essentially, the visual world is just like a computer screen, it's just a way of interacting with a more complex system than we could possibly comprehend. And so we have this belief and objectivity you see with optical illusions and things that can trick you and show you like, actually, this is not objective at all. And so if our visual field isn't objective, certainly our thoughts and beliefs about other people are not objective.   Michael Hingson  44:21 Something that comes to mind is when you notice something, like are you reacted to someone or are you You moved out of the way for the white guy and you didn't find the black guy? Do you learn from those things and you you have enough of an introspection in your in your body and your soul that you can then learn from those things and not do it more in the future? Do you have to analyze it a lot and then make a decision or how does all that work for you?   Isis Fabian  44:55 Yeah, so it does, again, as someone who has been in constant self reference my whole On life to to recalibrate my behavior to be normal, I've just taken that system and applied it to recalibrating my behavior to be not racist and not ableist. And these other things, right. But what I've noticed is, in anyone who does this work on themselves, we'll get to this place as well, you just lose interest in more homogenous media and things like that. And you start developing more of an interest in different stories, and you start developing an interest in film and TV shows and books that are being written and produced by people from groups that you're not familiar with, because that's what changes in your mind this kind of implicit hierarchy that we already have there, right? For instance, there are so many people who don't know someone with a disability. And so where are they getting their information about people disabilities from? Right, they know they exist, so you must be getting them from somewhere. And it's not, it's usually from a very biased source. If you think about it, right, the more they make it up, or they or they make it up, but it's still, I would argue, coming from a seed of ableism, that is planted in our society, right? They see the handicap parking spots, and they see, you know, the way people are depicted in the media, they see the way their parents tell them, like don't look at that person in a wheelchair, don't do that, you know, like they that's, that's all data that we're taking in. And it leads us to have these these views. So once you realize that you have those views, and you're behaving that way, then you automatically start seeking out a much different world of media and entertainment and influencers that you're following, and voices and pod tests and, you know, spaces you go to and people you hang out with. And all of that starts to evolve and that on its own will also do a lot to deconstruct those automatic behaviors that we aren't as aware of,   Michael Hingson  46:50 can we all learn to be more introspective and more self analytical than we tend to be?   Isis Fabian  46:56 I think so I'm hopeful that we can take more notice of our choices, and ask ourselves why I made the choice why I felt that way. Another example I gave was, um, you know, and a lot of it has to do with coming into the present to so people who meditate or who work on that if you're already living in the present, you're gonna be much better at noticing these things. Another example I gave was, I was just in Mexico for my honeymoon. And when I was choosing a place to sit on the beach, or by the pool, if there was a Mexican family right next to that area, I didn't really think about the way that I might be taking up space or if I was intruding on their space, because you know, I have my own space of this cabana. Right. But if there's a white family or another white couple, especially, God forbid, attractive, like, from God knows what country right there, right, I would have that more conscious like that trepidation, but just making sure they don't feel like I'm encroaching on their space, I might approach from the other side like, and we just do these things automatically. If we don't bring ourselves into the moment and start reflecting on our own behaviors sitting down at the end of the day, and reflecting on the conversations we've had the ways we reacted to different people, the times that we felt, you know, defensive, the times that we felt irritated, and really look at what triggered those feelings and where they came from, then we're not going to change these behaviors. And unfortunately, I think a lot of people today when it comes to social justice, diversity and inclusion, they think, Oh, I have no power, I can't do anything, I can't change anything. The reality is that we are all part of the fabric of oppression that other people are experiencing.   Michael Hingson  48:32 Do you think that if you were to go back down to Mexico and go to a beach and discover that you were coming up to an attractive white couple now that you would react differently now that you've noticed that?   Isis Fabian  48:43 I think I just wouldn't Yeah, I think I wouldn't have I wouldn't rather be right. It's not that it would it bothered me, it's more just as being more thoughtful about being more quiet as we approach giving them more space. Right. I think it's more that I would apply that same thinking to the Mexican family, but in the moment, and that is exactly what I did. Because I noticed myself having those thoughts and feelings as I approached the situation. And so I didn't modify my behavior in either situation. And I was the same in both, right? But if I hadn't brought those things into conscious awareness, I might have acted differently. Between and that's   Michael Hingson  49:16 that's the point. You have this wonderful gift of built in introspection that happens a lot more than I think it probably happens for most of us, although we can learn introspection, you talked about meditation and so on, and I do that and I love quiet time to think and look at what happened today. What went well, why did it go well, and could I have even made it better? What What can I learn from this other thing that happened today? And why does that still bother me? And I think that we all need to do more of that than we do. I I used to say I'm my own worst critic. You know, I love to listen to my talks when I give speeches and travel and do a lot of that. And I've learned, that's the wrong thing to say, actually, I'm my own best teacher. Because if I really look at what I'm saying, or what I'm doing, or what worked or not, no one else can truly teach me they can point things out. But if I don't choose to learn it, if I don't accept it, and allow myself to be the best teacher that I can be to myself, I'm not really going to fix anything.   Isis Fabian  50:26 Absolutely, exactly. And I think that comment about being my own worst critic speaks to one of the mental traps that we often fall into. And this is one of the other pieces to this puzzle, right. As a perfectionism, I talk a lot about about individualism, the illusion of objectivity, which I mentioned before, the good, bad binary, and perfectionism. And I think the good bad binary and perfectionism really work hand in hand, in our inability to change our behavior a lot of the time, this is why for a lot of us when we're told we've made a mistake, right? Or we someone calls out a mistake, and our heart starts racing, or they say, that's a microaggression, or something like that. Because we have this binary, our culture puts everything in a binary, you're good, or you're bad. And it's, you know, it's black, or it's white, you know, it's right, or it's wrong. And the reality is that things exist on a much wider grayer spectrum than that with a ton of nuance. And so, if you're dealing with perfectionism, and someone's essentially telling you even a small thing, tells you well, if I'm not perfect, I'm failure. If it's not perfect, it's nothing like that's kind of our reaction. But we're perfectionists and we're deep into that thinking. And it's hard for us to be corrected or to learn, especially when someone's opening up something as big as ableism, or racism, or misogyny in our thinking, it's so big, our reaction instead is to deny, deflect, get angry, get defensive, because we'd rather maintain the reality we're currently living in and the story that we're telling ourselves. But if we can notice the good, bad binary, in our own thoughts, in our own assessments of situations, we can start to decolonize our minds remove these thought patterns from our minds. You know, in my old job, I had a boss, who I thought was just out to torture me, there was a while where I was like, I'm trying to figure this person out, because I don't understand why I have to suffer so much under this person. Is she evil? Malicious? Like, why is this happening? And eventually, when I learned about the good, bad binary, that was the first situation that came to mind. I was like, I'm constantly trying to figure out is she good? Or Is she bad? The reality is that she's a person. And it's, there's a lot more nuanced than that. And it's somewhere in between, and she might not be as competent as she should be for her job. And that might be leading to all these negative downstream effects for me, and maybe she should be held accountable for my suffering, but it's not this good, bad thing. And we often because of the good bad binary attribute much more negativity to certain people, and much more positivity to other people than they really deserve in their actions when there's actually much more nuanced than that. And the perfectionism plays into that, as well. I think even people who had don't identify as perfectionist, you know, it's such a scourge on our society when we noticed that negative self talk. That's the perfectionism, right? And when we noticed that we're not giving ourselves credit for everything we got done today, right? You spent all day being nervous for the big meeting. And then once it's over and it went, Well, you forget about it on to the next thing to worry about, instead of be like, Oh, my God, I really did an awesome job in that meeting that one as well or better than I ever could have hoped for. Most of us don't do that we do not give ourselves that. And that's the perfectionism piece too. So if we can notice those things, in our own minds, we will stop thinking that way as much. And then when we have a learning opportunity, it's not going to feel nearly as threatening, you know, getting feedback doesn't feel like an attack anymore. It's all, you know, these are all the things we can work out on our own without having to have any big influence in the world or taking any other kind of action. It just prepares us to be able to learn when the opportunity arises.   Michael Hingson  54:01 And you know, I go back to my own worst critic. It's such a negative thing. And there's so much more to be gained by looking at it from the positive standpoint. I'm my own best teacher. All right. So somebody said something about me today. Great. I have that. Now, let's look at what they said. I'm trying to understand why they said it. And what does it really mean for me, right? That whole idea of going within yourself and analyzing it is what's so important, because you can you can find out, Oh, maybe, oh, they really thought that because of and it wasn't really true. But then you can go back and deal with it or you can go back and address it and how you deal with them in the future. But you can do so much more. If you look at things in a in a more positive way rather than running yourself down. We're all as capable as we want to be.   Isis Fabian  54:59 Mm hmm. and building that, that then builds self awareness that allows you when you get that negative moment or comment or whatever it is, you are then able to understand the difference between this is valid feedback that I need to understand versus that person saying a lot more about themselves than they are about me.   Michael Hingson  55:17 That's right. Because you can look at everything that happens in your life. You look at what what people say about you. And it doesn't need to be a criticism. It's what they say, Now, what are you going to do with it? And you have to make a decision. And it has to be a volitional, conscious decision. Was that the right thing? What were they right? Or are they just trying to be obnoxious or whatever the case happens to be, but we're the ones that can learn from our own best teaching efforts. Right,   Isis Fabian  55:51 exactly. And or are they responding to something, maybe in the wrong way or through many, many layers have their own bias, but if I can peel all that back, I might find a kernel of truth that is useful for me, like, that's what I finally realized with that, that quote, unquote, feedback, you're too intimidating. And you might work on that. And I went and asked everyone on my team, I was like, what does this mean? And they said, you know, oh, you're just really quick on your feet, you know, you really someone asked a question, or there's a thorny issue that we have to solve, and you just immediately have an answer, you immediately connect all the dots, and it just, it makes it um, you know, it's not a bad thing, you know, it's very impressive. It's just, you're, it's, it's, it can be hard to be in the presence of someone like that, right. As they were explaining that to me, then years later, I can reflect on and be like, there is something here, there was something useful here. For me, even though for such a long time, I rejected that feedback. And it was bad feedback it is. And it was not on to the point. And it was not actionable, either. But at the end of the day, there was impact I was having on people. And I was finally able to recognize the importance of what that impact was,   Michael Hingson  56:51 right. And if people are giving improper feedback, and so on

Die Heizung automatisch steuern, Rollläden nach Wetterlage hoch und runter fahren und Lampen schalten – es gibt viele Gründe für ein Smart Home. Die gängigen Lösungen vieler Hersteller setzen meist auf einen Cloud-Dienst, was aber mehrere Haken hat: Da fließen Daten auf fremde Server und man ist vom Anbieter abhängig. Geht der Pleite oder stellt den Service ein, funktioniert womöglich das vernetzte Heim nicht mehr wie gewünscht. Aber auch ohne den Worst-Case-Fall endet der Komfort dort, wo ein Smart-Home-Hersteller ein gewünschtes Feature nicht implementiert hat. Hier kommen Open-Source-Projekte ins Spiel, die aus genau diesen Nöten entstanden sind: fehlende Features, mangelnde Interoperabilität und unsichere Halbwertzeit. Die Community hat aus dem Bedürfnis eigene Smart-Home-Probleme zu lösen freie Firmware, wie Tasmota entwickelt und mit Schnittstellen wie dem Protokoll MQTT ausgestattet. Die offenen Systeme verwandeln manch eine Insellösung zu einem kommunikativen Zahnrad im Smart-Home-Gefüge und machen nervige Apps überflüssig. Im c't uplink erklärt c't-Redakteur Andrijan Möcker, welche offene Firmware es gibt und worin sie sich unterscheiden. Sein Kollege Jan Mahn erläutert, welche Smart-Home-Komponenten sich für freie Firmware eignen und wo diese sogar vorinstalliert ist. Und c't-Redakteurin Pina Merkert zeigt, wie man mit WLED kinderleicht Farbverläufe und Animationen auf RGB-LEDs steuert. Außerdem haben sie Lichtschalter, Aktoren, Heizungssteuerungen und Platinen mitgebracht, die sie im Studio samt ihrer Firmware vorführen. Gemeinsam mit Moderator Keywan Tonekaboni sprechen sie über Vor- und Nachteile von WLAN- und ZigBee-Geräten, wie es um den zukünftigen Industriestandard Matter steht und wie auch Cloud-Liebhaber von Geräten mit offener Firmware profitieren. Mit dabei: Andrijan Möcker, Jan Mahn, Pina Merkert und Keywan Tonekaboni

Es wird sowohl in einer augmented als auch in einer virtuellen Version als Erweiterung der physischen Welt koexistieren. Das voll entwickelte Metaverse wird mit dem realen Leben zusammenwachsen und unsere Gesellschaft und die Art und Weise, wie wir uns mit Marken verbinden, arbeiten, leben und interagieren, grundlegend verändern." BVDW Ressort Metaverse   In unserem Live Meeting im Juni in Hamburg hatte ich das Vergnügen Martin von 42meta kennenzulernen. Er präsentierte uns sehr eindrucksvoll, wie Marken heute schon das Metaverse nutzen können, um sich sichtbar zu machen und Werbung zu schalten. Aktuell sind die Welten wie Decentraland, Fortnight, Soundbox oder cryptovoxels noch Insellösungen, mal virtuell mal augmented. Die einen blockchainbasiert die anderen noch nicht. Ich habe Martin eingeladen, um über die aktuellen Webe-Möglichkeiten für Unternehmen zu sprechen. Seine Firma hat sich auf Advertising im Metaverse spezialisiert. Anhand eines Beispiels in Decentraland schauen wir uns an, wie die Erfahrungen aus der realen Welt im Metaverse umgesetzt werden können und wie Personen- und Unternehmens-Marken sich heute schon die Sichtbarkeit von morgen sichern.   Folgende Themen erwarten Dich: Wie funktioniert Werbung im Metaverse Wie kann ein Land Besitzer im Decentraland durch Werbetreibende seine Kryptoinvestition bereits heute steigern Wie hoch sind aktuelle TKP (CPM) Wer wirbt aktuell und für wen macht Werbung im Metaverse jetzt schon Sinn Mit welchen Leadgewinnungsprozessen arbeiten große Marken wie Adidas oder Coca-Cola bereits Welche Rolle werden Identitäten in der Zukunft bei der Werbegestaltung spielen Wie funktioniert Targetierung im Metaverse Mit wie vielen Adimpressions am Tag kann ich als Marke rechnen Wie Du Wearables einsetzt, um Marken-Erfolg über die Werbe-Kampagne hinaus zu erreichen Videolink: Hier ist der Auszug mit der Präsentation als Video Links: Wenn Dein Unternehmen an diesem Werbefeld interessiert ist, hier sind die Kontaktdaten von Martin Frericks martin@42meta.com https://linkedin.com/in/martinfrericks (https://linkedin.com/in/martinfrericks) http://www.42meta.com (www.42meta.com)   Willst Du wissen, ob deine Marke bereit ist für das Metavers?

221 Ach wie schön, die Google Wallet ist zurück. Und ersetzt Google Pay mit ganz neuen Funktionen zu Konzertkarten und Ausweispapieren... wo habe ich das nur schon mal gehört?!?Google ist mittlerweile ein Konzert, den ich nicht mehr ernst nehmen kann. Klar, agiles Arbeiten ist schön und hat mit Sicherheit seine Vorteile - bei Google aber mehr die Nachteile. Ebenso die neuen Methoden wie zum Beispiel OKR, Objects and Key Results. Aber auch hier: was hilft es bei Google? Aus meiner Sicht: nichts und niemanden! Wieso? Na, blicken wir doch auf die Jahre und sehen wir uns mal an, was der Laden sich selbst alles verhunzt hat, einfach mal so, aus dem Nichts kommend. Und genau so ist nun GooglePay gestorben und die App namens "Wallet" wieder aus dem Bits-n-Bytes-Friedhof in Mountain View ausgegraben worden. Wenn einem eben nichts zu peinlich ist...! Google Wallet und Technik: Die Kreditkarte ist abgelaufen und ich hatte sie bereits aus GooglePay gelöscht. Kein Hindernis, sie wieder zu listen! / Bild-/Quelle: privat Ich bin tatsächlich und ohne dass wir es damals wussten, Google-Kunde der ersten Stunde. Habe ich doch 1994 mit einer AOL-CD und 15 Meter Telefonkabelverlängerung vom ersten Stock an die Bundespost-Buchse die ersten Gehversuche mit "Sie haben Post!" im Internet gestartet. Damals waren so Namen wie "Yahoo!" der heiße Scheiß. Aber nicht als Suchmaschine, wie wir sie heute kennen, sondern als gepflegtes Verzeichnis, also eine Linksammlung zu Themenschwerpunkten. Und dann, ich glaube, es war 1996, mitten im Informatikstudium, in dem wir uns gegenseitig auf den Silicon Graphics Maschinen mit schönstem Unix die Cronjobs auf die Maschinen geschoben haben. Um wie kleine Mädchen zu kichern, wenn nach einiger Zeit der lang erwartete Satz kam: "Man, ist die Kiste heute aber lahm!". Auch so haben einige die Direktorenebene einer Universität kennengelernt, wenn so eine Abfrage durch das bisschen, was wir damals als Internet hatten, übers Wochenende nicht gestoppt wurde und unvorstellbare Gigabyte an Daten hin und her jongliert wurden. Nimm das, Zuck, du oller Nachmacher! Und es war zu jener Zeit, als ein Kommilitone mir den magischen Link auf den Weg zu einer der 486er-Kisten ins Ohr flüsterte: "Kennst Du google.com?". Damals weit weg vom Datensammeln über uns alle und King of the ads, ein Start-up, ein Newcomer, von Alta Vista (WHAT???) und Yahoo! (kennt man vielleicht noch mit seinem E-Mail-Angebot) belächelt und von der ersten Sekunde bekämpft. Die Seite sah damals schon so aus, wie sie auch heute aussieht - aber denkt euch die dynamischen Eingaben weg. DAS hat es '96 wirklich nicht gegeben. Auch waren die Ergebnisse mau, vor allem, wenn man es dann doch mal auf Deutsch probiert hat. Aber Abfragen auf internationalen Uni-Servern, leck mich am Arsch, was die damals quasi in Echtzeit zutage förderten. Aber diese Zeiten, auch des "never be evil", sind lange her und ebenso lange vorbei. Heutzutage rühmt sich Google mit einem Innovationslevel, der seinesgleichen sucht. Wirklich? Ich bin Kunde von Google, bei der Suche, den Handys, vormals auch Tablets und Sprachassistenten, ebenso im YouTube-Abo und bei nützlichen Diensten im täglichen Leben, wie GooglePay. Ich fasse mich mal kurz, sonst wird das ein "altes Testament Google". Bei den Handys war lange Zeit keine Strategie zu erkennen. Man hat eine gut eingeführte und von den Nutzern geliebte "Linie" mit Namen "Nexus", die sowohl Telefone als auch Tablets anbot, über Nacht in Pixel umgenannt. Und zeitgleich den Tod der Tablets ausgerufen. Warum das Ganze? Unklar. Man möchte nicht wie bisher immer an einen anderen Hersteller vergeben. WTF? Ich habe Asus, Huawei und etliche andere im Nexus-Gewand gekauft und war sehr zufrieden damit. Doch dann kam Pixel. Teuer. Die ersten vier Serien waren das Geld nicht wert. Die Akkus waren billigster Schrott und die Idee, alles nach Kauf per Software-Update nachzuliefern oder zu korrigieren, führte zu einem Scheiterhaufen an Codefragmenten. Und die Geräte wurden lahmer und noch schlechter. Mit der fünften und sechsten sowie der nun wohl sogar fast parallel in den Verkauf gehenden siebten Generation scheint Google seine "Signature" gefunden zu haben. Ich erkenne darin zwar ganz klar das Nexus 6P von Huawei, aber aus einem unbekannten Grund hatte das entweder keiner außer mir oder man hat das geilste Nexus-Design schon wieder vergessen. Und da wir nun dauernd von schlechter Hardware reden, kommen wir doch auch gleich auf planlose Software. Besten Beispiel: GooglePay. Was wurde uns nicht alles versprochen: Quasi die weltweite Dominanz aller Institute unter dem Hut von Google. Es sollten eigene Konten kommen. Es war die Rede, dass Google eine eigene Finanzsparte aufbauen möchte. Mit Bankenlizenz. Dann über eine Bank und deren Lizenz. Parallel erwachte der Schrottprophet Apple und öffnete seine Insellösung mit der Pay-Kiste. Und Google? Nix. Wobei, nix stimmt nicht. Sie haben nur leider vergessen, die neuen Institute auf ihrer Webseite groß zu propagieren - quasi wie der dauerverlierende Apfel. Aber dann... ein unbekannter Strategiewechsel. Nix mit der eigenen Kreditkarte. Nichts mit dem neuen Konto. Und nichts mehr mit GooglePay. Das jetzt, seit Mitte Juli als, Achtung, Wallet ausgerollt wird. Wallet war der schlecht gerotzte Versuch von Google, Apps wie Stocard ohne Übernahme zu kopieren. Es sollten dazu Daten automatisch z.B. aus dem Google E-Mail-Dienst, der ja auch irgendwie nur noch so dahin dümpelt, übernommen werden. Das sollte auf den Handy alles vollautomatisch klappen. Einen Scheiß hat es. Wer vorschnell Mails seiner Airlines gelöscht hat, stand am Check-in und musste erst mal die App der Airline installieren, da Wallet mit Sicherheit alles gespeichert hatte, nur nicht das Ticket. Und meist war der miteingelagerte QR-Code nicht der Boarding-Pass... totalle Scheiße das Teil, ich habe es damals ähnlich schnell, wie ich es installiert hatte, wieder gelöscht. Und dieses Wallet, Name und Aussehen sowie Funktionsumfang von vor vier oder fünf Jahren, soll nun meine ganzen Kreditkarten sicher verwahren und Zahlungsdienstleistungen anbieten? Mir wurde schwindlig, als ich es gelesen habe. Ich kotze, als nach einem Update das Icon wie das alte GooglePay aussah, die App noch "GooglePay" hieß und nach dem Öffnen aus GMail alte Flugtickets aus 2020 präsentiert wurden. Ja, war und ist Corona, aber trotzdem mehr Verzweiflung als Funktionalität. Google eben. "Oh, guck mal! Wallet kann alle meine Tickets automatisch hinzufügen!" - "Ja, aber nur die alten!" - Danke für nen Scheiß, Google Wallet! / Bild-/Quelle: Google/privatEs hat fast 48 Stunden und diverse Starts der App gebraucht, um Wallet endlich zu Wallet zu bekommen und nicht mehr GooglePay darunter stehen zu haben. Und ja - ein Handyneustart hat nichts geändert. Aber dafür scheint Wallet eine Sicherheitsfunktion gegen zu viel Geld ausgeben, integriert zu haben: Ich musste in den letzten Tagen bereits mehrfach das Handy aus- und wieder einschalten, um überhaupt wieder per Google und über NFC des Telefons bezahlen zu können. Macht ja auch nichts, ein Handy in knapp ner Minute neuzustarten, wenn man an der einzigen Kasse in der Tiefgarage soeben dran ist - oder zu Stoßzeiten beim Discounter meines Vertrauens die Kasse für Minuten lahmlegt. Danke, Google. FÜR NICHTS!!! Für mich beweist das umso mehr, dass man sich auf den Laden nicht verlassen darf und erst recht nicht soll. Alles, was man heute so kennt, kann morgen plötzlich weg sein - auf Nimmerwiedersehen! Produkte und Strategien, wenn man "Strategie" hier als Wort benutzen möchte, gibt es nicht. Es ist alles agil, untermauert von der neuesten Sau, die Management-technisch durchs Dorf getrieben wird, also OKR. Aber die Ergebnisse hiervon sollten an sich klare Ergebnisse und jederzeit einsichtige Prozesse und Arbeitsweisen zeigen. Bei Google ist OKR eher eine Verschleierungstaktik dafür, dass mein mittlerweile so ein Koloss geworden ist, dass wirklich kein Projekt der Neuzeit etwas geworden ist. Oder es Google, sobald es durch die Decke schießt, panisch beendet, da man seit Jahrzehnten wohl keinen Erfolg mehr mit irgendwas hatte. Da auf Wallet kein Verlass mehr ist, kann ich aus direkt meine Kreditkarte zücken. Warum sollte ich mich zum Arsch der Nation an Kassen aller Art manche, nur weil Mountain View gerade offline ist, die Mitarbeiter im HomeOffice pennen und keine Qualitätskontrolle sich zu gerade irrwitzigen Papieren, die das Wort Strategie nicht verdienen, summieren? Was für Vorteile habe ich denn mit Wallet? Das Teil, das alte abgelaufene Tickets von vor drei Jahren aus GMail zieht? Und nicht eine Kundenkarte erkennt? Und ausschließlich USA-Inhalte befeuert? Wollt ihr mich verarschen, Google? Meine Tickets sind am besten in der EasyJet-App aufgehoben. Meine Kundenkarten in Stocard, auch wenn die App mittlerweile mehr wirbt als hilft. Und meine Zahlarten wohl ab sofort wieder in meinem Geldclip. Der benötigt wenigstens keine überraschenden Neustarts. Und Wallet? Aktuell eine App, die vom Gerät gelöscht wird. Einfach unbrauchbar. Und Google? Tja - alles wie immer...! Ich warte bis heute noch auf meinen Rückruf, um dem Maps-Team meine Idee von fehlenden oder existenten abgesenkten Bordsteinkanten in Berlin vorzustellen. Was binnen Sekunden ein Knaller unter Kinderwagenfahrern werden würde. Aber, ich werde hierzu wohl mal mit Microsoft und here telefonieren müssen. DA war ich echt baff: Android Telefon trifft Google App - und ich kann die Einstellung nicht sinnvoll auswählen! Wenn zwei Abteilungen nicht miteinander reden, eine Dritte aber schon die Fehlermeldung dafür hat. Ich schmeiß mich weg! / Bild-/Quelle: privatMountain View hat ja keinen Kundenkontakt nötig, um sein Zeug zu verhunzen. Da wünsche ich mir echt eine schnelle Regulierung der EU, damit auch wieder unabhängige Klitschen und Start-ups hier endlich mit Lösungen kommen können, bevor die Großen sie wegkaufen und im Keller einlagern. Nur damit eine geniale Idee nicht deren Schrott vom Markt fegen kann. So wie Wallet. Und eine eigene Kreditkarte. Und ein Konto. Und ein Bankeninstitut. Ok, Google?

Dieses Mal zu Gast: Max Spielmann. Er ist Geschäftsführer der Weldebräu GmbH & Co. KG, Plankstadt, und erläutert uns in dieser Folge, warum es bei der in 9. Generation geführten Privatbrauerei mit 260 Jahren Braugeschichte eine bewusste Entscheidung für „Slow Beer“ gegeben hat. Und warum eine solche Entscheidung die Notwendigkeit zur Digitalisierung gleich mitbringt. Schon über Generationen hinweg ist Welde immer geprägt von der Kreativität und der Leidenschaft ihrer Braumeister. Menschen, die sich einem gemeinsamen Ziel verschrieben haben: Keine eintönige Massenware zu schaffen, sondern individuellen Genuss. Max verdeutlicht uns in diesem Podcast, wie wichtig es im Sinne einer smarten Digitalisierung für mittelständische Unternehmen ist, die Standards ihrer Zielgruppe, besser noch der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette zu kennen und zu verstehen, bevor man Insellösungen baut, die später kostenintensiv den Anforderungen angepasst werden müssen. Und Max zeigt auf, welchen gravierenden Einfluss der demographische Wandel im Zusammenspiel mit einer „Eventisierung“ im Leben der Konsumenten auf die Konsumgüterindustrie hat.
