It's about transitioning from being the indispensable force to the architect of an enduring enterprise.

PeerCapital's first fund is close to $40 million, focusing on "consumption enablers" and providing "valuable capital" to founders. Key Insights from the Conversation:

One host is good but two are better! On this episode, Leveraging Thought Leadership's hosts, Peter Winick and Bill Sherman, get together to share their insights about organizational thought leadership, institutionalizing it across an organization, and how it can create authentic relationships and increase audience loyalty. There's no straightforward way to stand up a thought leadership function or position within an organization. Our hosts share their thoughts on that, and on organizations hiring for thought leadership positions  (something unheard of only a few years ago!). The people filling these roles are coming from varied backgrounds – and that helps them bring unique perspectives forward, keeping an audiences focus on the message rather than the medium. In the past, the face of organizational thought leadership might be treated like a rock star, going out on speaking gigs and taking the spotlight. While part of that image is still true, organizations today want many disparate voices sharing their thought leadership. A chorus of voices shows that your organization is full of smart people, and that helps attract and retain others. We round out the conversation by discussing how thought leaders can leverage relationships in order to drive ideas. Narrowcasting (or point casting) your thought leadership to a niche group that can have the most impact can be a game changer, but those relationships can't survive if they only exist on social media. Those relationships need to be fostered over the phone, in person, and in meaningful ways. Three Key Takeaways: * Research shows that three things are needed for successful thought leadership: Buy in from senior leadership, time, and creativity. * Seeing results from thought leadership requires a long time horizon. Much like research and development, you can't expect quick results. * Keynote speakers need to deliver more than entertainment. They need to bring something relevant, insightful, and actionable.

Hey there Newspeelers, Tune in this Friday for my conversation with Dr. Price Fishback, in which he takes us through the history of housing booms and busts, and where our housing market stands now - from a historical perspective. We also talk about the history of home loans. Imagine a 15% interest rate on your home mortgage! Or having only five years to pay off your entire home loan? Dr. Fishback and his team are researching the controversial history of HOLC, a US government agency that is blamed for institutionalizing housing segregation. He disagrees with this assessment of HOLC's history and, of course, we talk about it in detail. This episode will be available at 6 am ET, this Friday, Sept. 30th. Talk to you guys then.

David Hutchens: Story Dash David Hutchens helps leaders find and tell their stories. He works with leaders around the world to find, craft, and tell their most urgent stories for the purpose of creating shared meaning, preserving culture, disseminating learning, and speeding change in organizations. He has taught the Storytelling Leader program at some of the most influential organizations — and he's written many books, including the Circle of the 9 Muses and The Leadership Story Deck. He is the co-creator with longtime friend of the show Susan Gerke of the GO Team program. He's also the author of the new book, Story Dash: Find, Develop, and Activate Your Most Valuable Business Stories…In Just a Few Hours. In this conversation, David and I discuss how to find stories that you can use in your organization. We reflect on the reality that we both hear many leaders say to us: “How do I find the right stories?” David then shares the key principles and steps that every leader can take to surface and curate the best stories. Key Points The “Us At Our Best” taxonomy is what it looks like when are are delivering with energy and excellence. A recent Southwest Airlines story is an example of this. Find the area the area of your work where you need to influence the emotional system. Trust stories about small moments. Don't attempt to create an epic drama of huge importance. The best stories are individual incidents that send a bigger message. Formal story mining can be done alone or as team building. Institutionalizing practices like story sharing can help this happen regularly and naturally. When informally collecting stories, listen for time, place, and person as signals that a story is beginning.

When Prof. Kristen Genet started at Anoka-Ramsey, her plan was to just stay there for a few years. As an ecologist and trained researcher, she wanted to do research as well as teach. Over time, her role evolved to where undergraduate research became a significant part of her job. Today, 20 years later, Anoka-Ramsey Community College has institutionalized undergraduate research across its programs. In this Podcast, Prof. Genet first tells us how UG Research started at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, The Role of CCURI, How UG Research was integrated into the coursework, Success Stories and finally, advice for high school students. In particular, we discuss the following with her: Anoka-Ramsey Community College How did Research come to ARCC?

How do American child welfare and obstetric healthcare converge? Matty Lichtenstein, a recent PhD from Berkeley's Sociology Department, studies how state and professional organizations shape social and health inequalities in maternal and child welfare. Her current book project focuses on evolving conceptions of risk in social work and medicine, illustrated by a study of the intertwined development of American child and perinatal protective policies. She is working on several collaborations related to this theme, including studies of maltreatment-related fatality rates, the racialization of medical reporting of substance exposed infants, and risk assessment in child welfare. In another stream of research, she has written on social policy change, with a focus on educational regulation and political advocacy, and she has conducted research on culture, religion, and politics. Dr. Lichtenstein's work has been published in American Journal of Sociology, Qualitative Methods, and Sociological Methods and Research. She is currently a postdoctoral research associate at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. In this interview, Matrix content curator Julia Sizek asks Lichtenstein about her research on the transformation of American child welfare and the impact of that transformation on contemporary maternal and infant health practices.

Institutionalizing a culture around your virtual law firm that will make you more effective as a business leader. Installing some form of communication. How connecting daily, creates stronger interpersonal communication and engagement.   My Favorite Excerpt From The Episode: TIME: 00:20:00 (32 Seconds) What daily connects are, is you should, we've talked about having defined communication strategies and policies in your law firm, you need to have defined time for people to stop and talk about their work. So that delegation is not something that happens kind of on the fly when I'm running from thing to thing and I got to get it off my desk. But instead, you stop and you have meetings with your team to delegate work.

Mike Cagney, the founder and CEO of Figure, discusses how his company enjoys major cost and efficiency gains by using their public blockchain, called Provenance, and putting the “tech” back into “fintech” to build the future of financial infrastructure. In this episode, we talk with Mike Cagney, the founder and CEO of Figure. Figure offers mortgages, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), personal loans, and other financial services to both individuals and businesses. What make's Figure unique is that all of these products are originated, securitized, and serviced on Figure's public Provenance blockchain, saving them time and money. Figure's creation of these traditional financial products on-chain led them to create the USDF Consortium, whose member banks can mint deposit-backed, FDIC-insured stablecoins on Provenance to enable 24/7/365 dollar transfers between banks.   To learn more, visit us on the web at https://wp.morgancreekcap.com/morgan-creek-digital/   To speak to one of our team or sign up for other content, please email mcdigital@morgancreekcap.com

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The case for building more and better epistemic institutions in the effective altruism community, published by stefan.torges on the Effective Altruism Forum. Write a Review As a community, we should think more about how to create and improve our collective epistemic institutions. With that, I mean the formalized ways of creating and organizing knowledge in the community beyond individual blogs and organizations. Examples are online platforms like the EA Forum and Metaculus, events like EA Global and the Leaders Forum, surveys like the EA survey and the survey at the Leaders Forum. This strikes me as a neglected form of community-building that might be particularly high-leverage. The case for building more and better epistemic institutions Epistemic progress is crucial for the success of this community. Effective altruism is about finding out how to do the most good and then doing it. For that, epistemic progress is important. Will MacAskill has even referred to effective altruism as a “research project.” Since people in this community have changed their views about how to do the most good substantially over the last ten years, we should expect that we're still wrong about many things. Some institutions facilitate or significantly accelerate epistemic progress. People in this community are probably more aware of the research showing this than many other people. Ironically, we even recommend working on improving the decision-making of other organizations or communities. Aggregative forecasting is talked about most often and it seems to have solid evidence behind it. Still, it has limitations. For instance, it cannot help us with conceptual work, improving our reasoning and arguments directly, and inherently vague concepts. There is some evidence on other instruments like certain forms of expert elicitation or structured analytic techniques (e.g., devil's advocate), but the evidence base seems less sound. It might still be worth experimenting with them. Peer review seems to be another valuable institution facilitating epistemic progress. I'm not sure if this has ever been investigated properly but it has a lot of prima facie plausibility to it. I don't want to argue that we already know all the institutions that facilitate epistemic progress but there are at least some that do. If we think this is sufficiently important and there are more such institutions to be designed, experimenting and expanding the research base might be among the most important things we could do. We are not close to the perfect institutional setup. I don't want to overstate the case. We have already built a number of great institutions in this regard, probably much better than other communities. Again, forecasting has probably seen the most attention (e.g., Metaculus, Foretold). The other examples I mentioned at the top, however, are also important and many have improved over the last few years. Still, I'm confident we can do better. Starting from the evidence base I sketched out above, we might start experimenting with the following institutions: Institutionalizing devil's advocates: So far, we have had to rely on the initiative and courage of individuals to come forward with criticism of cause areas or certain paradigms within them (e.g., here, here). Perhaps there are ways to incentivize or institutionalize such work even more or even earlier. For instance, we could set up prizes for the best critique of apparently common assumptions or priorities. Expert surveys/elicitation: Grace et al. (2017) did one for AI timelines. The Leaders Forum survey is focused on EA-related questions. If possible, we could experiment with validating the participants or systematizing participant selection in other ways. We could also just explore many more questions this way in order to get a sense of what the most...

Alexander Lazovic (EUI) interviews Martin Krygier (Professor of Law and Social Theory at the University of New South Wales) on how to understand the rule of law crisis from a teleological perspective

(Featuring Jonathan Ellenzweig, Chief Investment Officer, Tricon Residential) Over the past two decades, the single-family rental industry has evolved into an institutional-caliber asset class—so where is the sector going next? https://www.afire.org/podcast/institutionalizingsfrcast/ Over the past decade, the US single-family rental (“SFR”) industry has matured from a largely mom-and-pop cottage business to a professionally managed, institutional-caliber asset class that fills a pronounced gap in the US housing continuum. Before the GFC there were always SFR homes; however, these were typically owned by individuals who were often more focused on near-term cash flow rather than customer service. In fact, in 2005 there were approximately 13 million occupied SFR homes, or 34% of the entire rental housing stock in the US. The GFC served as a catalyst for the institutionalization of the industry, as large and newly formed technology-enabled owner/operators were able to acquire neglected homes, renovate them, and rent them to families looking for quality rental housing. In many instances, these operators transformed what may have been the worst home on the street into the best. This served to benefit both local homeowners and renters, and served as the genesis of today's SFR industry. On this episode of the AFIRE podcast, Jonathan Ellenzweig explains why the SFR industry remains very small and concentrated among a handful of operators – in fact, less than 2% of the country's approximately 16 million SFR homes are owned by institutional owners. This podcast is based on the article "Institutionalizing Single-Family" from Summit Journal (Summer 2021).

In this episode, Rustin interviews Dr. Aria Fani, Professor of Persian and Iranian Studies at the University of Washington, about his upcoming book project, Making Persian Literature: Iran and Afghanistan in the Age of Romantic Nationalism. Dr. Fani's research explores how literature was utilized in the nation-building process in both Iran and Afghanistan during the turn of the twentieth century. His work pushes back against the narrative that the Persian language was in decline as a lingua franca across large swaths of Central and South Asia in the nineteenth century. While Persian did in fact have to compete with Russian, English, and other languages, it did remain a prominent language of transregional cultural production, and intellectuals worked to reform the language to fit within new nationalist concepts of literary discourse. In Iran and Afghanistan, nation-state nationalism did not automatically lead to the collapse of all ties across borders, but rather opened up a new site of exchange. He instead shows how Iranian and Afghan intelligentsia traveled back and forth and were in conversation about what came to be the canons for their respective national literatures. For this reason, Fani suggests that Iranians and Afghans were in fact co-conspirators of a shared literary projects.

The Root of the Rot returns to the airwaves this month as His Excellency, Bishop Daniel Dolan and host Stephen Heiner try to clarify where our modern problems originated. This episode focuses on the years between 1866 and 1905, years in which Italy was unified (by stealing the Papal States from the Holy Father, and ultimately, from all Catholics), Germany was unified (at a massive cultural cost to Catholics), and France underwent ongoing aftershocks of the effect of murdering their king and overthrowing God. The bishop delves deeper into how these issues influenced American immigrants at this time, who very much wanted to be "accepted" in their new, Protestant-majority country. If you want to continue your education on the bigger issues that inform the doctrinal problems that plague us now, listen to this episode!

Lecture by Swami B.V. Tripurari at Ananda Ashrama, Saragrahi, NC on October 20th, 2019 - Q and A: Institutionalizing the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

Should we admit medical mistakes? Most risk managers (and med mal attorneys) might say no, but Dr. Peter Smulowitz says that’s the wrong thinking. Admitting errors can be good for patients and good for us.   Links mentioned in this episode Register for Essentials of EM. San Francisco May 21-23, 2020 Become a subscribing member of ERcast   Shownotes Pearls: The victims of our current risk-management strategy (which is to pretend it didn’t happen, and, if discovered, to deny and defend) are the patient, the provider, and the system.  Communication, Apology, and Resolution (CARe) programs have been developed to encourage providers to talk about adverse events and create a transparent process with the patients and families.    The status quo for the way we handle mistakes creates multiple victims, but no winners.  [00:40] When a mistake is made in a hospital, the common response is to pretend that it never happened. And then if it’s discovered, we’ve learned to deny and to defend, before beginning a prolonged process of resolution.  This adversarial process leads to a lost opportunity to learn from the mistake, on the individual and institutional level. It also prevents providing closure to the victim of the mistake. Our approach to managing adverse events often comes under the guise of risk management.  But perhaps we need to reframe these events from managing risk to managing patients. Who are the victims of our current  risk-management strategy?  The patient:  According to the Institute of Medicine, the liability system is the number one impediment to patient safety.  Further, when something bad happens and compensation is deserved, the patient receives 30 cents on the dollar.  The rest goes to administrative waste and legal fees. Oftentimes, the patient never even receives an answer when a major adverse event happens. The provider:  Providers spend much of their careers worrying about and trying to avoid lawsuits. And when lawsuits happen, there are significant impacts in terms of depression, substance abuse, and burnout. The whole system:  One study showed that we spend about $1.4 billion a year on defensive medicine. That is a significant impact on health care costs. It was the aftermath of an unfortunate case that sparked Smulowitz’ interest in this subject. It motivated him to try to make systems better so that others did not have to go through the same trauma. [03:40] Case A 24 year old man presented with thoracic back pain after lifting boxes.  An MRI was ordered due to a history of substance abuse and was read as normal.  In the ED, the patient had a sudden PEA arrest and died. The MRI was re-read as showing an aortic abnormality.   Smulowitz felt horrible after this case. He had zero confidence in himself, and he almost quit practicing medicine. The hospital’s response was not ideal.  Risk management advised that he only speak to a psychiatrist about the case.  He felt completely alone. He imagines the patient’s family must have felt terribly as well.  They couldn’t talk to anybody about what had happened. Even though the case settled, Smulowitz isn’t sure they ever truly got answers.  And they probably have no idea how badly he felt.  Smulowitz regrets that he didn’t have the chance to talk to the family and to apologize that such a horrible thing happened to their loved one.  The current practice of pretending that bad things don’t happen is absurd.  We’re going to make mistakes, and we practice in imperfect systems where bad things are going to happen to people despite our best efforts. The institutionalized isolation that we’re almost obliged to enter after an adverse event contributes to the second victim syndrome.  The patient is the first victim, and the healthcare provider, who is traumatized by the event, is the second. We are taught not to apologize after an adverse event. But is this good advice? [11:00] Many states have apology laws which protect you either partially or fully when you admit fault after an adverse event.  But Smulowitz believes these are almost useless in terms of their ability to protect from legal action. The laws are in place primarily to support and promote the apology process. Excerpt from an article about apology laws:     “Although physicians may feel the need to apologize after an adverse medical event, physicians’ gut instincts to apologize are often hampered by the fear that their statements will be used against them in court.  This fear is further solidified when their attorneys advise them to be careful not to admit fault or liability. This seemingly well thought out strategy to remain silent actually creates an unexpected paradox. Refusing to apologize can precipitate litigation to an even greater extent.  Consequently, the lack of an apology can dilute the doctor-patient relationship, hinder patient safety, and increase litigation.”    Communication is critical and an apology can be beneficial. It is the responsibility of the provider and the hospital to communicate with patients in the aftermath of an adverse event.  An apology is not an admission of fault. Apologies are beneficial to the physician as long as you’re not saying something crazy within the apology. Apologizing for something bad happening can be protective in the court of law because it makes physicians look like human beings. Communication, Apology, and Resolution (CARe) programs have been developed to bring providers out of the shadows, encouraging them to talk about adverse events and encouraging a transparent process with the patients and families. [13:05] Communication -- There should be early and ongoing communication in the aftermath of an adverse event. Apology -- There should be an apology when mistakes happen. Sample verbiage:  “It is so horrible that this bad event happened to you. We are devastated that this occurred. We are going to continue taking care of you/your loved one and our hospital is going to be carefully reviewing what just happened.  We’re going to get back to you with the results we find.” Resolution --  Make sure that patients receive just and timely compensation when bad things occur that are directly attributable to deviation from the standard of care.   Note that some patients/families do not desire financial compensation and just want explanations. Patients who receive financial compensation through CARe must sign a waiver saying they will not later file a lawsuit. But if the adverse event is not attributable to negligence or the lack of standard of care, there should be robust defense of the hospital, provider, or system. Providers should be supported if the event was outside of anybody else’s control. Institutionalizing this process is the only way to make it work, because you have to tie the communication and the apology piece to a true, just, and timely resolution. How would you apply the CAR process to this hypothetical scenario:  a young woman with a viable pregnancy is mistakenly given methotrexate (which was ordered for the patient with an ectopic in the room next to her)? First, the provider needs to communicate the mistake to the patient.  “You were given methotrexate and we don’t know the reason for it yet.  We also don’t know what the outcome will be for you. We’re going to continue to investigate what happened and we will continue to support you.” Second, the error should be shared with your institution’s designated contact people responsible for investigating adverse events.  This could be the ED director, the chief medical officer, OB/Gyn, and/or the risk manager. Their involvement early on is necessary for communicating to the patient what the likely possible outcomes might be and how they’re going to continue to provide care and support.  The rule of thumb is that the more severe the case, the more the institution needs to pull together quickly to discuss what’s going to be said, how it’s going to be said, and who is going to say it. Third, there will be a point person who will follow along with the patient and be continually communicating. This should not be the initial treating provider.   All hospitals should have the infrastructure to provide ongoing support to patients when untoward events happen. What is the best way to deliver bad news and apologize effectively? [21:20] The core of an apology is an explanation which demystifies the offense, but does not excuse it. Make sure that the facts (as you know them) are delivered. Don’t go above and beyond what you think you can explain. And don’t blame yourself or anybody else.  Be honest and transparent. Deliver it in a way that makes the patient feel supported. At Smulowitz’ institution they have put in place “Just-In-Time” coaching.  When something bad happens, you can page someone who has years of training and can coach the provider on what to say, what not to say, and whether he/she is the right one to say it. The University of Michigan made the CARe program an institutional process. What happened after they started using it?  [22:05] They saw a dramatic reduction in the number of claims, the number of lawsuits, and overall costs related to lawsuits. Equally  important, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of incident reports. Those results have been replicated at several other large institutions.  What are the barriers and strategies for implementation of CARe programs? [25:55] Providers are wary of it.  They feel vulnerable. Hospitals are worried they will be paying a lot of money due to an increase in lawsuits. Some plaintiff and defense attorneys are against these programs.   References: Bell SK, Smulowitz PB, et al. Disclosure, apology, and offer programs: stakeholders' views of barriers to and strategies for broad implementation. Milbank Q. 2012 Dec;90(4):682-705.

It was great to be back at this conference again. Regular listens may remember Episode 13 which we recorded at CHESC in 2018. While that episode focused on Aggressive Climate Action, this year, we focused on the idea of institutionalizing sustainability. We tried to deconstruct some of the tactics, traits and tricks that our panelists, who are all rockstar sustainability professionals, use to move beyond running pilot projects and underfunded awareness campaigns to leveraging the full power of the world-class institutions that they work within.

Have you heard of redlining? If so, do you know what it means today? And are you aware that the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), created by President Roosevelt in 1934, actually institutionalized the system of discriminatory lending in government-backed mortgages in America?   Today, we're talking about redlining. In the 1930s, government surveyors, developed by the Homeowners Loan Coalition, graded neighborhoods in 239 American cities, using color-coded maps to indicate the level of security for real estate investments. These maps were based purely on assumptions about the various communities. Tune into this episode of Dear White Women to hear about the Federal Housing Administration and why it was created, to learn about what redlining is and how it impacted homeownership almost a century ago, and to find out how all of this ties into patterns of gentrification today.  Show Highlights: The function of the FHA is to provide mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA approved lenders throughout the United States.  The color-coded maps were not at all about the ability of households to satisfy lending criteria because they were based on assumptions about the community. What the different colors indicated about the neighborhoods. The FHA publications at the time implied that different races should not share neighborhoods. In 1941, a white developer built a concrete wall between the white and black areas so that the white people could obtain mortgages. Statistics from the Federal Reserve show that white families now have ten times the net worth of black families and more than eight times that of Hispanic families. Some things that people were asked to put on the mortgage loan application forms about the neighborhood. Creating the foundation for systemic discrimination in terms of lending, mortgages, and neighborhood construction. A National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) study found that three out of four neighborhoods that were redlined in the government maps eighty years ago, continue to struggle economically. The problem with gentrification. Systemic issues and the after-effects of redlining. How architectural changes became a signal of gentrification, with white buyers, and non-whites being forced out. What you can do to remedy the situation.

The Bible is blasphemous whenever it is used as caselaw and even the Word of God — which is a flat rejection of the Holy Spirit. Can’t jam Infinite Love inside any book. Not until 1850 did Protestants in Alabama suddenly demand this book be deemed inerrant. An inerrant book written by men? Even Jesús scolds in John 5:39-44 literalism and people who parochially refuse relationship with Him over “constantly having your heads in the Bible but refusing to SEE Me in front of you....” Look at what such narrowness of thinking has done (not because people always believe or love God who they CAN in a less literal sense SEE but won’t SEE) but solely because of individual cowardly narcissism just to be sure they “don’t burn in hell.” This isn’t love but terrorism. Think about it — you place a gun to the head of the preciously and infinitely loved little heads of children and tell them they better hate “certain people OR groups” and beat their children because that’s the only language they understand, and they’ll hardly become human beings capable of charity beginning at home or beginning within themselves. Rather, this same aberrant fear will actually create all manner of evil, self-preservation, self-absorbing megalomania and other highly ephemeral avarice and perversion. Christianity as the “religion” doesn’t espouse a love for and from God for ALL people — rather as merely another exclusive “religion” It unwittingly promotes living a life of fearing hell and hating this God and this threatening tyrannical caricature the church fabricated for dualistic confusion and socioeconomic control. Having said that, debating hate and love and especially the existence of God as a word and trying to force ideas on anyone will cause pushback. Until and, not if but when, a person is able to SEE and RECOGNIZE the divine in ALL PEOPLE— especially those they have been trained to hate not based on reality and truth and grace and truth — but with the very peculiarly arcane approach of actually EXCLUDING first and INCLUDING a very few individuals if anyone (which is ultimately self-banishment) as one’s life goes onto and INTO eternity. Life is living us. Things are improving. America’s history of preferring word-worship and highly superficial and spoon fed programming has created an unstable passively-aggressive kind of undulating conformity that has been largely without any lovingly lasting transformative experiencing as human beings. Forced love is at best, highly unconditional hatred. This has been proffered as stemming from the noun and conceptualized word — God, but any conceptual and airily abstract notion of God as anyone or even anything akin to an infinitely loving agent is all showroom but no storeroom. Just smoke and mirrors and a cheapened part of speech and an unbelievably unworkable textual rule book. A theologically lifeless topic and object of pseudo-scholastic discussion and debate, but sorrowfully little else. It might be becoming increasingly obvious to humanity that humanity is from love and infinite love has all the timelessness in and out of this world to restore to Her original state of sanity. Original sin, logically, demands that the originating Source of sin starts and stops this seemingly endless “missing of the point” not by creating the 16th century atonement conditions for His/Her creation to yet again fail to meet, but by This Creator having ALREADY removed the human convention (illusion) of finitely loving conditions that infinite Love would never impose on His/Her very own divine inventions. (There was nothing to remove but the damnable idea of sin and the blame gaming). What was the problem with Jerome’s Bible? It was heavily influenced by Latin hell-inventing theologians like Tertullian and Augustine. Many of the words used in the Vulgate, such as eternal, redemption, justification, sanctification, sacrament, perdition, punish, torment, damnation, etc., were coined by Tertullian and his contemporaries and came to be associated with concepts foreign to the original Greek. The Latin Church’s emphasis on fear-based dualism was reserved for three great Carthaginians, Tertullian, Cyprian, and Augustine, so to influence the Latin Church it deflected and declined into a system of dogmatic hierarchy and spiritual despotism. But Tertullian was the individual who set this current in motion. This, then, is the man in the hollow of whose hands lay the clay which was to be molded into concrete Latin dogma. This is the man in whose hands reclined the fate of the word eternal. Augustine, who later outdid Tertullian and his doctrines, maintained that the whole human race was “one damned batch and mass of perdition” (conspersis damnata, massa perditionis), out of which a few are elected to salvation, while all the remainder are lost for ever. He beheld evil as a force integral in a universe apart from God, while Origen believed that all is out from God, even evil, which God must undo and banish. As the centuries went by, the Bible was translated and retranslated into Latin (mainly from Greek), and more than twelve centuries later translated into English (from Greek and Hebrew) with the advent of the original King James in the 1600s. It’s not hard to see how morphing Church beliefs and language changes influenced each Bible version that came along. When King James gave the translators instructions for working on his King James Authorized Version in 1604 (a seven-year project), he intended to make sure that the new version would “conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy.” Since then, it has undergone over 400 more years of translator interventions and theological interpretations. When you think of how many people, opinions, doctrines, misunderstandings, language barriers, as well as political and theological agendas may have worked into the mix in 2,000 years, it’s hard to believe (and shouldn’t be believed) that the Bible has maintained inerrancy or complete adhesion to the original intent. Sin wasn’t humanity’s idea nor God’s allowance for the concept of sin that the church created to control and confuse. The thermodynamic energy that animates your being that IS within you (known as the Holy Spirit) has been flatly rejected and opportunely so by the church. Why? As long as you perceive yourself and, therefore others, with a rather worthless and intrinsically defective sense of identity, the simplicity of this infinitely knowable inner wholeness will by default seem confusingly complicated. Now, these heady abstract antagonists understood perfectly clear how to train word-worshipping Westerners towards dualistically divisional and extreme mental programming. And, because they did, they took advantage of the majority’s illiteracy and fearful dependency and thus, described both God and sin with their conceptualized explanations that were neither creatively freeing nor remotely explicable to the culture at that time. But, in spite of the current day literacy of Western society, both the Catholic and the Protestant career clergymen remain, for the same ephemerally selfish and passionless reasons, determined to take advantage of rigidly fearful and fervently religious people by portraying the church as an externally greater authority than the Spirit of Truth within ALL humanity. Moreover, as long as these church leaders can continue to hoodwink Western society into believing that they must pay the churches’s amateurishly ignorant “professionals” to explain God’s nature to them, oratory rhetoric will continue to hypnotize humanity as objects, discouraging humanity’s grasping their true and original identity as sons and daughters of Infinite Love’s Creator. And, while this can (for a limited time) continue to hinder individual’s knowledge of their inner authority and true identity via unconditionally loving experience, it will never detain this infinite LOVE’s Author and Creator as some diabolically separated Being who has been intentionally portrayed as an unapproachable cosmic tyrant as purposefully maligned as read inside the bindings of the Bible. You didn’t need anyone to explain unconditional love to you UNTIL religionists diabolically developed their own self-seeking conditions of dogmatic beliefs whereby they almost got away of what has gone on till only very recently. This being the early churches’s theologians and socioeconomic religious politicians desire to institutionalize guilt as its ephemeral goal so as to possess all of the gold. Put another way, the Golden Rule as the early church translated it swiftly became an aberrant abomination of Jesus’s extremely simple and easily applicable definition of this Golden Rule. Rather than, “Do unto others as you would want done unto you,” the church’s pyramid scheme was based on, “He who has the most gold, rules.” When Jesus said, “You cannot serve mammon and God both,” a simpler translation is, “You can experience Infinite Love within you and as you but never by studying this experience as merely a lofty concept inside of a book.” Jesus made this perfectly clear in John 5:39-40. No one believes truth, they recognize and know truth again as they knew truth before they became the physical manifestations of Infinite love. Soul. That’s even in the Bible- Psalms 139. God, as a concept, can appear to hate you as long as you project the hatred you have ONLY momentarily felt and observed from the very men who pretend or seem to appear to be like the God none is able to conceive of. Conceptions are deceptions. Just as saying the word water is a horrible attempt to explain the experience of actually being wet. Even if I could freeze an ocean wave, my bringing it to you in a box and placing it on a table would not be anything like surfing. As long as we believe in a word we will never begin approaching Her realty. God does not love you, love is what you are. Love is being Herself. You are BEING and to miss this is to talk about infinite life but never be about infinite life.

Day three of the new 2019 Academy Leadership Advanced Leadership Course took place this past week. Our Advanced Communications and Effective Decision-Making workshops were fantastic, each covering well over two hours. The contest winners in the Effective Decision-Making workshop received copies of Counter Mentor Leadership, The New IT and Lead From the Heart which was a lot of fun. Having two long workshops doesn’t afford much time for the third workshop, Leading Change. With most audiences, that’s not a big deal, and we usually zip through the Leading Change workshop rather quickly, often losing a bit of energy after the two robust workshops. Not this time. We shared stories right away, confirming that constant change is the single most dominant characteristic of the world we live in — and for leaders, the choice is to lead change or be overtaken by it. Sometimes easier said than done though. Turns out the client is in the middle of multiple leading change initiatives, and that the associated challenges consume enormous amounts of energy by the entire team. We discussed Kotter’s Eight Step Change Process: 1. Establishing a sense of urgency 2. Forming a powerful guiding coalition 3. Creating a vision 4. Communicating the vision 5. Empowering others to act on the vision 6. Planning for and creating short-term wins 7. Consolidating improvements and producing still more change 8. Institutionalizing new approaches learning that the client is still in the early stages. We also noticed that some of the intermediate steps such as communicating the vision and planning for and creating short-term wins can support earlier stages such as creating a sense of urgency. Change is tough. We were not surprised that 60-70% of transformation efforts do not achieve their goals. I asked the group if their Personal Leadership Philosophy includes provisions describing the need for change. Got a bit quiet then… During our end of day self-evaluation, we found that we had not processed the Leading Change workshop as much as we had wished to. That was a first, and it was actually energizing to hear! The first action item was to email a link to Kotter’s Harvard Business Review article, titled Leading Change: Why Transformation Efforts Fail. We also agreed to spend more time on this in session four next month. How do you address change? Are parts of your organization resistant? Leaders Create Change.

Recorded at CoinDesk’s Consensus:Invest Conference, Bakkt’s CEO Kelly Loeffler and ICE’s Chairman and CEO Jeff Sprecher’s chat with the MIT Media Lab’s Michael Casey. Bakkt plans to roll out the world’s first 1-day physically delivered Bitcoin contract in 2019, allowing institutions and consumers alike to seamlessly buy, sell, store, and spend the digital asset. While Bitcoin’s value may rise and fall, the profound appeal of crypto is not so much as an investment to buy and hold, but rather a currency to actually put to work.  Inside the ICE House: https://www.theice.com/podcast/inside-the-ice-house

If Americans don’t learn how to get along—at the very least, agreeing to disagree and respecting each other’s right to subscribe to beliefs and opinions that may be offensive, hateful, intolerant or merely different—then we’re going to soon find that we have no rights whatsoever (to speak, assemble, agree, disagree, protest, opt in, opt out, or forge our own paths as individuals).

How can you create conditions that are private, safe and unobserved for yourself during childbirth? This question is a core message behind the work of Dr. Sarah Buckley — author of the best selling book Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering and mother of four home-born children. Dr. Buckley is a New-Zealand-trained GP/family physician with qualifications in GP-obstetrics and family planning and currently combines full-time motherhood with her work as a writer on pregnancy, birth, and parenting. Women were biologically designed to give birth in the wild, and oftentimes, the conventional maternity care system does not effectively support the ancestral and biological needs of a woman during childbirth. Dr. Buckley spent seven years researching and synthesizing the scientific evidence on the hormonal physiology of childbearing. She found that the science confirms the innate wisdom of a laboring woman — following your intuition can allow your hormones to guide you on the pathway to a healthy, gentle birth. In this episode, we unpack how women can tune into their innate birthing wisdom as Dr. Buckley guides us through the hormonal physiology from pregnancy all the way through to the first days spent with their newborn baby. We discuss preparing for labor, hormonal gaps, choosing a healthcare provider, breastfeeding, bed sharing and so much more. Enjoy!

"We talk around cancer a lot but we don't actually talk about it until it comes close to home." Today we’ve got the beautiful and amazing, Yael Cohen on NIONradio. Yael is the founder and creator of an organization called Fuck Cancer that was started to raise awareness for early breast cancer detection, and now for many other types of cancer. Interesting piece of information, 90% of cancers are curable if caught in stage one, and that’s not a widely known fact. It’s amazing how we glaze through life without paying attention. On this episode, we get to hear the story of how her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and how it changed both of their worlds. What I love is that we get to see Yael’s amazing heart as she took care of her mother through her the journey. In turn, this was how the organization was birthed. On this show, we talk about creating a brand in the non-profit space and how it makes you stand out. We also learn about different types of food that actually help to prevent cancer. We learn how to socially interact with someone who has cancer. As funny as this sounds, it can be a very awkward situation if you make it that way. We also learn how choosing a name like "Fuck Cancer" can work for you or against you. So with that, get ready to get inspired and lets jump in! "We're fucking amazing, we have access to more information than any generation ever has. We teach our parents more than any generation ever has." Some things we learn in this podcast: What took Yael from the Finance world to the Non-Profit The story of learning your mother has cancer How courageous vulnerability of the brand, fuck cancer, empowered a movement The power of evoking the Why  in a community Moving through puberty of Institutionalizing the magic: from irreverent disruptive organization to scale about structure and strategy Why the internet is so important to building for purpose organizations Where to learn to set up and manage a non-profit Why changing what you study over and over again is leading to your purpose Strategies for healthful living Early detection steps and why it's so important How one dives into authenticity when dealing with the fight of their life Did you know, if a couple loses a kid to cancer, the divorce rate is near 80% Ways to avoid awkwardness when talking with a friend suffering from a terrible sickness How one, "gets over themselves." How she uses self-care to set the tone for the day, meditation and intense exercise Why divisive branding (like Fuck Cancer) more powerfully serves a specific group The begetting thing Yael has learned from building the Fuck Cancer brand Links mentioned: Join the Fuck Cancer community - Twitter, Facebook and Instagram Learn more about David Agus  and watch his TED talk Do the products you use promote cancer?  Environmental Working Group Connect with Yael: Instagram | Twitter | Website

In this episode, Rustin interviews Dr. Aria Fani, Professor of Persian and Iranian Studies at the University of Washington, about his upcoming book project, **Making Persian Literature: Iran and Afghanistan in the Age of Romantic Nationalism**. Dr. Fani's research explores how literature was utilized in the nation-building process in both Iran and Afghanistan during the turn of the twentieth century. His work pushes back against the narrative that the Persian language was in decline as a lingua franca across large swaths of Central and South Asia in the nineteenth century. While Persian did in fact have to compete with Russian, English, and other languages, it did remain a prominent language of transregional cultural production, and intellectuals worked to reform the language to fit within new nationalist concepts of literary discourse. In Iran and Afghanistan, nation-state nationalism did not automatically lead to the collapse of all ties across borders, but rather opened up a new site of exchange. He instead shows how Iranian and Afghan intelligentsia traveled back and forth and were in conversation about what came to be the canons for their respective national literatures. For this reason, Fani suggests that Iranians and Afghans were in fact co-conspirators of a shared literary projects.
