Chairwoman Penny and Brendan discuss the 2024 USM Convention: "No More Genocide in our Name" with Chair Jesse, Ruby Gittelsohn, and Jamie Simpson. Featuring live clips from the Convention!

Jamie L. Simpson is the Chief Policy Officer and Counsel for the Council for Innovation Promotion (C4IP). She was previously the Chief Counsel for the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet. Before that, she worked on the Senate Judiciary Committee, handling intellectual property policy while on detail from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. At the USPTO, she was a senior advisor to the USPTO Director, handling critical policy issues, attending meetings with the Commerce Department and White House, and helping to coordinate the agency's work. She started at the USPTO as an associate solicitor where she defended the agency's decisions before federal courts and worked on some of the first cases to adjudicate the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act of 2011.In this podcast, Jamie discusses US IP policy and the role of SEPs. She explains why the 2019 Standards-Essential Patents policy was withdrawn and what to expect regarding SEP policy guidance. She also comments on a draft bill proposing a federal SEP royalty court with global impact, which has generated controversy in the US.Jamie says that discussions about Standard Essential Patents (SEP) in US politics are mainly triggered by global litigation. While some disputes over SEP gain attention, many deals are closed without conflicts. Jamie believes that the EU Commission went too far with its draft proposal to regulate SEP licensing. She thinks that regulators should ensure a level playing field for market participants to negotiate SEP license, rather than influencing FRAND determination. She also shares concerns about the European Commission's intellectual property policy shift, which threatens innovation leadership and economic success and security in Europe and America.Jamie joined C4IP in May 2023 to promote intellectual property rights that drive innovation and improve lives worldwide. She emphasizes the importance of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) and standardized technologies. Jamie believes that a working system is required to incentivize standards developers while ensuring their investments are recouped. She warns that too much regulation may hinder innovation, leading to silos of technologies that cannot communicate. Policymakers must base decisions on data and move cautiously to avoid harming a functioning system.

Hear how to create a workplace where people love to work I first had the pleasure of interviewing Konstantinos (Kon) Apostolopoulos for this podcast in July 2020 as the pandemic was raging around the world. He and Dr. Elia Gourgouris had just co-authored the book, 7 Keys to Navigating a Crisis: A Practical Guide to Emotionally Dealing with Pandemics & Other Disasters. Now Kon has written another book due out next year, called Engagement Blueprint: Building a Culture of Commitment and Performance. And what is so fascinating about his new book is that it focuses on business culture change and employee engagement as the keys to business success. Kon and I are both culture change experts and so as you can imagine, I'm excited to learn what he has to tell us today, as I think you will be too.  Watch and listen to our conversation here People seek out environments where they feel valued and their needs are being met. Some keypoints from today's discussion: An engaged workforce looks for things that need to get done because they feel appreciated and value helping the company move forward. They're connected and understand clearly what the goals are, and they're looking for opportunities to support their teammates in meaningful ways and make contributions that will make a difference for the organization and for themselves. They look at their daily activities as opportunities to learn, to grow, to capitalize on that, to invest in themselves. When that happens, work becomes learning, work becomes play, work becomes exciting. That's the kind of place where engagement really thrives. People want something more than just financial success. They want, and need, to be valued and appreciated in what they do. We all do. How to reach Kon You can connect with Kon on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and his website Fresh Biz Solutions, or email him at kon@freshbizsolutions.com. Also, take the online version of Kon's self-assessment questionnaire to learn what your organization can do differently to really soar.

Hi I'm Andi Simon. And as you know, my job is to get you off the brink. And I love to do it by bringing you interesting people who are going to help you do something important. You're going to see things through a fresh lens. You're going to feel things differently. And remember, we decide with how we feel and then you're going to think about it. Because if you can see it and feel it, then your brain says, Oh, that's what we're talking about. And today, this is really a great opportunity, particularly coming out of the pandemic, still not being sure or certain about work and life and hybrid and all kinds of things. It's time for us to think about that organization we want to build. So today, somebody whom I interviewed earlier for this podcast, in July 2020, is coming back because he's writing a new book, a solo book: Kon Apostolopoulos, who is a really wonderful gentleman who works with organizations to help them, like I do, change. Let me read you a little bit about his background. He's founder and CEO of Fresh Biz Solutions, Fresh Like That, and Human Capital Management Consultancy, which provides performance improvement and training solutions to help organizations develop their people, improve business results, and reap the benefits of a comprehensive talent management strategy. During the pandemic, he and Dr. Elia Gourgouris published a book called 7 Keys to Navigating a Crisis: A Practical Guide to Emotionally Dealing with Pandemics & Other Disasters. That was terrific and very timely. He's a regular contributor to Thrive Global and Achievers Engagement. I think what you're going to love today is that he has had time to develop a new book on employee engagement. He calls it Engagement Blueprint: Building a Culture of Contribution and Performance. Is that the title? Did I get it almost right? Kon Apostolopoulos: Almost right. Almost right. Commitment and Performance. Both of those are things we're going to talk about today. And hopefully I put down a half a word and then I had a figure. The other half was on. So good thing we can laugh together. Andi Simon: What I think for our listeners and our viewers is so important is that Kon brings both research and experience and expertise to this engagement question. And I love when he talks about it because you're going to begin to think about that blueprint that you need, which lays out a pathway to change what's maybe a little chaotic today into something where employees believe in the place and really want to participate and belong. Kon, thank you so much for joining us. Kon Apostolopoulos: It's such a pleasure to be with you again, Andi. Thank you for having me. Andi Simon: Our problem is going to be to only stay within a half hour or so because we love to talk. There's nothing better than getting together with people who share your passion and your purpose. I want you to talk a little bit  about your background so they understand who's Kon. And then we'll talk about the origin myth of this new book, which is so important. Please share with them. Who is Kon? Kon Apostolopoulos: Thank you. It's a pleasure. Kon is right now a 30 year veteran of the Adult Learning Performance Improvement Change Leadership space. I essentially work with people. The company I founded about a dozen years ago, Fresh Biz Solutions, is focused on helping organizations, the kind of organizations that you and I know, Andi, that spend a lot of time and money building, developing very intricate business plans. Where I come in and help is that I ensure that they have the right people in the right place, ready and willing to execute those plans because without them, the organization really has a plan that's not worth the paper it's written on because it needs its people at their best to be able to execute those plans. And a lot of times that comes through workshops and development. A lot of times that comes through one-on-one or group coaching efforts to enhance the commitment that people have as well as their competence. Sometimes it comes with tailored events that need to be facilitated to bring people together and aligned with the goals that we're striving for, and ultimately working with my clients on their systems to make sure that every dollar that they invest in their people is a dollar well spent and it aligns to something that they target that is very purposeful rather than a “nice to have.” So I've been doing that for a long time now and I've had the pleasure of working in a number of industries across the spectrum with a number of different types of organizations: public, private, smaller and now much more of that mid- to large-space organizations that have enough people where we can make a difference and truly create the kind of workplace that people can find themselves, they can really align themselves, see themselves achieving their goals, and, oh, by the way, helping the organization be successful as well, because we all deserve that kind of a workplace. Andi Simon: Engagement, though, is always a strange word. People talk about it wishfully. I'm not quite sure they would know it if they saw it. And then I couldn't be sure how they would feel it if it was there. So let's start off with, you know, you've moved through the 30 years into working with organizations large and small, and now you're beginning to really find ways to make a difference. Why? Why should we even think about this thing called employee engagement? Why does it matter? Kon Apostolopoulos: Well, let's approach that from a number of different angles. Let's look at our protagonists in the story. Let's talk about, first and foremost, the employees themselves. People seek out environments where they can feel like their needs are being met. And when we talk about engagement needs, we talk about the need all of us have, first and foremost, to be valued and appreciated in what we do. Second of all, to feel like they belong in that environment, that they're part of a team, part of a tribe. These are basic needs, fundamental needs that we all have. In addition to that, in our workplaces, in our careers, we all seek to feel like we are making a meaningful contribution, that we are able to be productive in what we're doing. So at the end of the day, we feel like we've accomplished something. And ultimately most of us want to know that we are operating in an environment that invests in us, supports us so we can continue to learn and grow so we're not remaining stagnant. So from that perspective, from an employee standpoint, these are basic needs that employees are looking for in their organizations. Now, the book that I'm writing is actually written from the perspective of the employer, the leader, the leader in all of us that now has to try to win the hearts and minds of their people and try to address those needs that people have. And from that perspective, employers are looking at it and saying, “You know what, I put out a lot of things. I spend a lot of my money, my resources, my capital towards my employees. I want to know that that investment is being reciprocated and that there is value for me investing in that.” Otherwise, most employers will just settle for what they can get. They'll settle for a situation where they'll think, okay, I'll just pay the basic minimum because I'm not going to get much more than that. Whereas the companies that are truly performing at the highest levels, the brands that we have come to know and appreciate, they do things a little bit differently. They truly capture that engaged spirit of their people. They capture that discretionary effort, that commitment that people can bring to their work that want to see the organization succeed. That's the magic that we're trying to capture and that's the environment that we all deserve to operate in. Andi Simon: Assuming that one who's listening or viewing is beginning to visualize an engaged organization with high levels of employee engagement. And I do this with my own clients, visualize. You can see it. You can become it. So what will a highly engaged workforce feel like or look like? Because while we say the words that they want value and they really want to be connected and productive, how will I see that? Will I know it? What will it feel like? And, what are the actions of the behaviors, not just the spirit that's going to be demonstrated here for an organization to know I'm moving them into an engagement. Tell me, how do I see it? What will it feel like? Kon Apostolopoulos: Well, first and foremost, the feeling is a different level of energy. There's a certain heightened level of energy. There is an excitement, an urgency about the place. There is an environment where you notice that there are leaders at all levels of the organization, people taking personal accountability and ownership of activities. They're not sitting around waiting for people to tell them what to do or not. They aren't just taking advantage of the fact that, Well, guess what, my boss hasn't really contacted me, I'm just going to sit here and play solitaire. Engaged workforce looks for things that need to get done. Why? Because they feel appreciated and value moving forward. They're connected and understand clearly what the goals are, and they're looking for opportunities to support their teammates in meaningful ways and make contributions that they understand and know will make a difference for the organization and for themselves. And ultimately, they look at each one of their daily activities as opportunities to learn to grow, to capitalize on that, to invest in themselves. Because truly, work becomes learning, work becomes play, work becomes exciting. That's the kind of place where engagement really thrives. So as I work with one of my clients and we talk about how to build engagement, I'd probably say something like, Today, people wait to be told what to do. And in an engaged organization, they individually take the autonomy and accountability to try and solve a problem before they have to be told what to do rather than wait to have an idea come from someplace else. They bring the ideas elsewhere so they can see it manifesting into new ways of doing things rather than coming in and punching a clock. They want to see what else. They wake up in the morning, put their feet on the ground and say, How can I do something better today? Is that the kind of thing you're looking at? Andi Simon: Yes, absolutely. Because what you're describing manifests itself with a very different attitude towards work. People are excited to be there. People are looking forward to the opportunity to engage, to see their partners out there because they truly see them as partners. There is a level of ownership, again, that thrives in this environment where people will step forward and say, How can I support you? It's very easy to put your ego aside because you don't feel threatened when you feel like part of the team, like you belong, like you are allowed to be there when you are valued for what you bring, small or large to this to the table. Kon Apostolopoulos: Different people will contribute in different ways. But if you can see that connection between your job, your work, your output and how this moves the organization forward, that's an important part. I mean, we all want to know where we belong and how we fit into this. It's no different than I explain it to a lot of the leaders that I work with. I say, If you have a group photo, Andi, what's the first thing you're going to do when you get it in your hands? You're going to look for…where am I in this picture and how do I fit in. That's right. That's exactly the picture that we need to paint for every single one of our people. So they know clearly in no uncertain terms what they do, where they belong and how they contribute to this and that. That contribution is truly valued and appreciated. Andi Simon: You said something very important because there are times when that picture is of a toxic team and the need to belong overwhelms the need to do well. And consequently, we've all had clients where every department is toxic to the others. You know, finance won't talk to marketing and marketing can't talk to sales. And they all are on a different agenda. And somehow the organization's supposed to thrive. They're all engaged, but not in what you should be. So is there some wisdom you can bring to us today about how you take apart that kind of silos? I'm thinking of a client I had in Mexico where everything was so siloed that nobody wanted to work there. Kon Apostolopoulos: Right. Well, think about what drives a lot of that when we have a scarcity mentality, when the people that are incentivizing the work, that are driving the work, that are directing the work, say, Okay, there's only so much accolades, so much reward to go around for what I'm looking for. You guys fight amongst yourselves who's going to get it. But if I come at it from the perspective of abundance and I say, There's enough gratitude and appreciation, there's enough acknowledgement for all of us to be successful, that takes away the need for us to fight over scraps. And that's a big part. That's a fundamental, visceral reaction we have when we are in an environment where our very safety is threatened because that's what a toxic environment does. Different levels of our physical, mental, emotional well-being are threatened by that. There is a scarcity out there. There's not enough of that. That's why we strive to kind of rise to the top. But it's the collusion of mass mediocrity. It's the crabs in the bucket. Every time you try to rise above the rest in an environment like that, the rest of them are going to pull you down because it's not even about them getting out there desperate enough that they will pull you down to climb all over you to get away. And that's not a healthy environment, that kind of workplaces are condemned. It's just a matter of time. They're dead and they don't even know it. Andi Simon: It was interesting in that particular client, they were struggling to expand and become more innovative with a workforce that believed that the old ways were the way we do things, we can't change. And I'm listening to you. They were each engaged in a different story. And we're storytellers. And I always tell my clients, you live the story that's in your mind. So what's your story? And as I'm listening to it, it's that they see the world around them in this company for their benefit, not for them serving a larger purpose. And I think that higher level purpose is what will create engaged employees, or is that not what you see also. Kon Apostolopoulos: Well, I totally agree with you, but in order to get to that higher purpose, those fundamental needs will need to be met. There needs to be a “we need to create the kind of environment where people don't have to worry about those things, where if you're talking about a company that's trying to innovate, you know it better than I do.” Innovation demands risk. We cannot hope to innovate, to change, without risk. Well, in an environment that you're describing that's that toxic, where people are holding on to the norms and to the old ways, the legacy ways of doing things. Why are they doing that? Because they know it's safe, because stepping outside of those boundaries has always perhaps been chastised, perhaps has been penalized, perhaps it's been seen as evil. So they want one thing, but they're rewarding or creating consequences for that thing. They're rewarding the opposite behavior and thus creating those consequences for that. You can't ask me to take risks if you're not allowing me to make mistakes. Andi Simon: Well, and it is particularly difficult. I sometimes have been working with companies, going through transitions with new leadership, and while they can say the words, I want you to be a more self-empowered entrepreneur, and the old person was directing and controlling the people who are there who don't know what the words mean and they don't know how to be self empowered. It's so interesting. Let's go back to your book, though. You've structured this book in a way to create a blueprint, and that becomes an interesting metaphor for what you're trying to set up. I want to give you enough time to talk about the blueprint and how somebody might enable it or execute on it, because you clearly have a methodology here you want to share. Kon Apostolopoulos: Thank you. And yes, indeed, what I found is that I started this project about 18 months ago. It was, as you mentioned, Dr. Elia and I had the opportunity to write a book together right at the dawn of the pandemic. And we got it out early on because we knew that people needed help. And that book was the 7 Keys to Navigating a Crisis. And it was a roadmap on how people can emotionally deal with change, drastic change in their lives. What evolved from that, Andi, was an opportunity to take that same roadmap to my clients and to large organizations and really show them how what applies to the individual can apply, expanded out, and scaled out to large organizations as well. Well, once we got past that point now into 2022 and my clients are looking at what's next, how do I get my people back in here and on board to work? So we started the discussion about how we win back that commitment from our people so they want to come back to the workplace, either physically or even through this hybrid or virtual model that we exist, but still truly gaining that commitment. And that started the discussion based on that need. And I started researching. I started looking at the data that was coming out of very reputable sources, whether that be Harvard and their Business Review documents, through Gallup, through the Pew Research Center, through Deloitte, through all of them, various big names. And looking at the data and the trends that I was seeing, what I discovered are essentially that there are those four key elements, those four key drivers that we need to satisfy: the need that people have to feel valued, the need that people have to feel like they're connected, the need that people have to be productive, and ultimately the need to feel supported to learn and grow. And then in looking at my history, I realized, Andi, that that's the work that I've been doing with my clients the last 30 years. And so the realization just hit me that the very framework that I've used over the years to support my clients is the same framework that answers those questions of how we create that environment. So essentially four drivers, and I have four pillars of the work that I do, that essentially each one of those pairings of my pillars addresses one of those needs. So it's almost like an overlap, if you will, and it fits so well in the sense of when I talk about how do we show people that we value them well beyond an equitable and honest paycheck, where people can feel like they are being rewarded equitably for the work that they do. Well, if you invest in people and you build their competence and their abilities and their commitment, they can and want to do the job. When you start connecting that commitment through coaching and the team building pieces, the elements now, people can feel like they are connected. When I work with people on the competence and the systems that will support that, that allows them to be productive. And then when I take the systems that I built, the people systems and the team building, the teamwork part, we balanced both the output of task and the relationship pieces to now show people in a transparent way how they can build their careers and how they can achieve their goals through the organization, and grow and learn and expand their career so they no longer seek other places, other avenues outside the organization. They can reach all their goals within the organization. And that whole packaging allowed me to really bring the data and the information, the science on one side and my 30 years of experience on the other, and put them together in such a way that now I have a very clear framework that is proven to be successful. And now I've got the stories behind it to show and illustrate in the book along the way, the case studies that will allow us to really illustrate each one of these points. Andi Simon: Is there a case study or two that you can share? Because it's always the stories that people remember. And as you and I were talking in preparation, I thought there were a couple of great ones. Kon Apostolopoulos: Yeah. And there's one particularly that I think illustrates the complete package that I'm describing right now. And I have that, I've published that as a case study for the industry itself, and it involves one of my main clients, one of my nearest and dearest clients that I've worked with almost from the beginning when I started my venture. They are a construction company and basically I work with one of four regions of this large billion dollar construction company. But when I started working with them almost a decade ago, they weren't a $1 billion company at the time. The region that I was working with was about pushing close to 200 million in revenues for this area. Over the years, as we've partnered, their goal for their strategic priorities for the five year plan was to double their revenue to reach 400 million in the time that we worked together and reaching up to last year. And this is basically, 2022 was their end of their fiscal year, they achieved 600 million in revenue. So when I was sitting down with the president, the regional president and his team, he acknowledged that this would not have been possible without the work that we have done together, developing the systems and the people and creating a talent management plan that really supported their business strategy. Now, that's not in itself the most extraordinary thing, because we can say that, you know what, we contributed. But I will bring a little bit more evidence to the story here. I mentioned to you that this is one of four regions. The other three regions are equal opportunity, equal size with this region. They in themselves only did 400 million collectively. So not only are we showing the proof of what works for this particular region against their competitors here in this market, but we're also showing it against the other control groups within the same organization, same structure, same hierarchy, same policies in other areas. We do things a little bit differently here. We modified some things and we're able to really showcase that difference profitability wise, far exceeding the collective of the other three regions. Satisfaction, employee engagement numbers, retention, promoting ability, all of the key performance indicators that show that you are operating in a way that you have a healthy workplace where people can thrive and they want to stay and they can grow their careers. All of that was evident and present in this case, Andrea, so that's the point that I point to, that is the example that I point to where everything has come together and all of this suite of offerings has been presented to them and utilized. Andi Simon: Don't forget to send me the link to that and we'll include it on the blog where we put the podcast because it becomes concrete as opposed to abstract, but it's also data demonstrated and evidence based and it says, Oh, this could really help my business turn from good to great, huh? Kon Apostolopoulos: Correct. It's the difference maker because at the time when all the companies were hemorrhaging and bleeding people, they couldn't keep their people there with the Great Resignation and people were abandoning their jobs in droves and millions in the millions. This company, we not only did not lose any of our top people, we actually became a destination for people leaving their other organizations. So when you can become that employment brand that others seek out, when you become that employer of choice, how much easier is your job? How much does it save your bottom line, knowing that you can attract the best and brightest and retain them within your environment? That is a competitive advantage that will help you truly differentiate yourself from the competitors. Andi Simon: Well, and it's not just salary, is it? It's all the other, I'll call them, I don't want to call them soft. They are the kind of human stuff that people are looking for. It's true. They work for a paycheck, but they really do want to belong to an organization that values them and helps them get valued. It allows them to be productive and creative and really connected to others in a way that leads to better results.  And so we're coming back to describing that kind of an engaged environment that we're talking about. I mean, that's truly what we were trying to picture for our audience here. And to understand when you are confident that your top performers, even if they pick up the phone and somebody says, Come work for me, I'm going to give you X amount more, and they say, Thank you, but I'm very happy where I am. Yeah, I can see myself here. This is my home. This is my workplace. This is where I find I'm at my best. That's a tremendous, tremendous asset to an organization that you can't put a price on that. No, there is no price because it is the differentiator for life, not just for a company. As for an individual's life where it has meaning and purpose, it's pretty cool. So let's go back to your engagement blueprint. When you have a client map out where they are and where they're going and how they're going to get there, can they do it on their own? Do they need your support? Are there steps that are simple to follow? Kon Apostolopoulos: There are. And that's what I'm trying to capture with the book. I'm trying to show people an easy way for them to first and foremost, assess which one of these drivers are strengths for them in their current environment, which areas they need to pay special attention to. And I outline each one of these areas, certain elements that should be present and available for them to consider. But I still don't dictate which way they want to go. I make the recommendations of these areas that they should focus on, provide some examples of my own, but also case studies, many case studies in there. And oh, by the way, we are also interviewing industry leaders across the spectrum, people that have been there, done that, and can speak to each one of these elements from their own organizations, people like Jamie Simpson, that is the hotel director I lead for a Jumeirah property that just had their 20 year anniversary, the first one of Jumeirah property meeting on Salam in Dubai. And they won the most prestigious team award in their area from Hotelier magazine. And she and her team showed what it looks like to be able to operate. Now, think about that. We're talking about a wonderful, talented leader operating in what many would consider a culture that is very male dominated in an industry that is full of male executives. Yet this powerful individual, this talented woman, has brought together in her own way, using her own talents and skills, brought together and created an engaged workplace where people can thrive. And her team can vary, can succeed with proof because that is not a small thing to achieve that award. Andi Simon: No, And it is an acknowledgement of something more than just financial success. It's about something much bigger than this. This is really an interesting time. You know, Kon, you're a giver and you are a person who wants to help others grow. I know as we were talking about this book, what you have a whole lot of things that you'd like to share with our listeners and viewers and maybe their organizations to help them get going before the book comes out. You want to share? Would you share some of those things? Kon Apostolopoulos: Absolutely. And thank you, Andrea. First and foremost, we've developed with my team an online version of our simple questionnaire that will allow anyone to kind of answer some basic questions and get a feel for where are we strong, where do we need to focus on, which one of these drivers do we find present in our environments, which one we might want to pay some attention to, with some very simple guidelines and simple examples of what they can do differently. So I'd like as a first gift to offer that to you or to our audience here today, Andrea. And we can add that in. We can provide a link for them. They can simply go online, complete their questionnaire and have the opportunity to get some quick answers on the spot. Beyond that, if people are interested in finding out more, I'd love to welcome them into our growing community. And in this community we talk often about tips, ideas, examples of how to really engage our workforce, how to really create that environment for our people. It's also the place where I'll be sharing a lot of excerpts from the book, early previews of some of the interviews that I've been doing. Wonderful, valuable information that people can immediately turn around and apply, and if they so choose, to be part of this community, this growing community, and have first access to the insights and the information that we're sharing. Even before the book is published. Andi Simon: This is so exciting. So we can start with the self-assessment, and begin to become familiar through this group of the kinds of things you're doing. And then the book is expected to come out by when? Kon Apostolopoulos: 2024. We're putting the final touches on it. We're wrapping up some of our interviews and we'll have some what I hope people will find as wonderful little surprises and nuggets in there for them. Andi Simon: I can't wait. There's my crackerjack box in my little nugget in there. This has been such fun. Now, if they want to reach you, where's a good place to get a hold of you? Kon Apostolopoulos: Well, the easiest place for those people that embrace the LinkedIn platform is to look me up under Koach Kon. I spelled with a K on purpose. Andrea, I don't want to mislead people. I want to make sure that they know. So Koach Kon on LinkedIn and they can also visit my website freshbizsolutions.com where they can find additional information about perhaps how we can help them or how they can readily find resources to help themselves really create the kind of environment where people can thrive. Andi Simon: I love it. Do you have a team of people who work with you, or is this mostly stuff you're doing as a solopreneur? Kon Apostolopoulos: A lot of it is myself. I do reach out to trusted partners at times. I have a team that helps me with my marketing, with some of my strategic planning, perhaps with creating and building a lot of the assets that are of high quality that I can offer to my clients and to those listeners that we have here today. But periodically it's always a pleasure to be able to partner with people that I respect in the industry like yourself, Andrea, and people like we can work together. We offer each other our insights and our support, but for the most part, yes, there would be me. Andi Simon: I think that's pretty good because if you've just been hearing Kon talk, he knows what he's talking about and he and I share a whole lot of the same challenges as people who work with organizations that need to change or want to. And I can't say it often enough, but change is pain and your brain hates us. And how many times have companies said to me, Well, that's not the way we do it. I said, Well, that's the problem. It's the way you do it. Yeah, but that's the way it's done and I say, But it doesn't have to be. Behaviors can change and if you change the behaviors, then your mind comes along and makes it sensible as well. So it's not simple, but it is doable and it is doable with, I think, this engagement blueprint on how to build a more inclusive company that can really, really produce at a level that you're looking for. So I've had a great time here today and this has been absolutely a wonderful conversation. I will make sure it's up on our blog and we push it out when it's time. And I know my listeners and my viewers are going to say, Can I learn more? And I have a hunch you want to learn more. So I'm going to say goodbye to everybody. Thank you for coming. And so it's a pleasure to help you get off the brink. And the only way you can do that is to see things through a fresh lens and feel them in new ways like we've done today. And then give some thought to, Do I need a blueprint? Do I need to begin to put together a process for change? And then we can together or alone begin to help you do just that. I will tell you that changing behavior is very doable. You just need new habits. And if you think of that that way, you need to stop doing what you've done and start new habits and practice and practice and practice until they become the way we do things. And it's not hard. It just needs to be done. And so these are changing times that require new things to happen. So with great pleasure, thank you for coming. Please keep sending me your friends and people you want me to talk to and people to listen to the podcast and share it. It's always a pleasure. Have a great day.Take care now. Bye bye.

So how do you know, as a chef, where you should be putting your energy outside of your normal job description? Because quite often on CHEF Radio, we talk about how chefs have positive impacts outside of the kitchen through great leadership practices, mentorship, fundraisers, and foundations, but maybe one of the single biggest impacts we can make is through our own responsible purchasing and sourcing and teaching the next generation the importance of being stewards of our foodways and food systems.  Reducing our carbon footprint through climate education, menu planning, reducing food waste, and even packaging and plastics reduction are just some of the ways we can leave this industry better than how we found it, and let's face it, when you become a leader in our industry, you're expected to do so much more than just simply create menu items, work service, and write a schedule. And of course, as individual chefs, we can each do this on our own, but as you're going to hear today, when a farmer and a chef work hand-in-glove to create a Regenerative Organic utopia such as Chef's Garden, the impact they can have is immeasurable, and it's no coincidence that this is Earth Week, and we are releasing this on Earth Day, because I couldn't imagine a better couple of guests to talk about the major positive impacts they've had on our planet and people and why would they do is massively important. Support Regenerative Organic Agriculture! Here's what else you'll hear: Farmer Lee Jones Coming to you live from the New York Food & Restaurant Show 2023 What is Regenerative Organic farming and why you as a chef need to be supporting it? Why our vegetables nutritional levels continue to decline on a massive scale even with the advances in technology Trying to farm like they did 100 years ago Harvesting the sun by planting cover crops and soil  Why we must support regenerative organic farming as chefs because the government's not going to change anything Having a medical doctor on staff at the Chef's Garden to help create more nutrient dense vegetables to assist in healing.  How the Chef's Garden changed the game with the creation of microgreens Charlie Trotter's influence on the trajectory of CG Chef's Garden focuses on their team & community and why that matters Chef Jamie Simpson  The Culinary Vegetable Institute at the Chef's Garden Jamie's love for all 600+ different varieties of fruits and vegetables that grow around him How they bring chefs to the Vegetable Institute for either R&D or a little R&R  The biggest changes that Jamie has been a part of over the years at Chef's Garden Moving towards a direct-to-consumer and pick-to-order concept Having to give up his career and music to focus on being a chef How they harvest all parts of the plants and use absolutely everything that can possibly be turned into food or a food related product Creating vegetable “Deli Slices” High Pressure Pasteurization and why Jamie is so excited about it A huge shout out to our sponsors, Maxwell McKenney and Singer Equipment, for their unwavering support, which allows us to be able to bring these conversations to you.

Trevor Goodwin of the YMCA of Greater Moncton says the homeless situation in his city has doubled in the last year and he's worried plans aren't moving quickly enough to prepare for this winter. We hear an update from the Mass Casualty Commission. Today an Indigenous Talking Circle was held. And on the phone-in: Tuma Young & Jamie Simpson answer your questions on edible wild plants.

On this episode of the Reparations in Action / White Lies Shattered radio show and podcast, host Jamie Simpson interviews Akilé Anai of the African People's Socialist Party about the vicious July 29th FBI attacks on the Uhuru Movement. Calling on the white community: oppose counterinsurgency; stand in solidarity with the Black Liberation Movement facing the most severe government repression since the 1960s and COINTELPRO.

Interview with Jamie Simpson In this episode, I talk to Jamie Simpson. When I first met Jamie he had been interested in buying a business for some time, but nothing has taken shape yet. Since then, Jamie bought three businesses without risking his own cash. Jamie joins us to share his journey and how he has managed to buy his businesses. He also shares some inspirational tips for those who want to buy their own business and haven't started yet.  Key Highlights [01:01] About Jamie Simpson [01:36] When did you think buying a business was a good idea? [03:14] What do you feel different about the deal hanging around for four years and what you have done in four months? [03:48] Would you have approached it differently knowing what you know now? [04:25] Did you lose that money, though? [05:36] When did you do your Fasttrack program? [07:10] How long did you take to feel as though you were speaking confidently to business owners? [13:15] Some of the things learned from Jonathan Jay that helped in business acquisition [15:00] Strategies used to talk to business sellers [16:18] Are you doing your work? [19:45] Lessons learned about business buying [21:00] About the Numbers game [25:38] Parting tips to listeners Notable Quotes I feel like I've got two options here. I can be like the tortoise in the shell. If you put your head out of the shell and something goes to bite, you can stay in the shell for the rest of your life or put your head down. I was hearing people say oh, we send 200 letters out, and we'll test the water and see what happens. And I was thinking they were my competition. So if they're going to test the water on, I'm just going to blitz the water. And I sent out about three to four thousand letters straightaway. A lot of people feel like they need to do their homework on the industry before they start sending letters. But actually, I found the sellers to be one of the greatest sources of information about the industry. Training to collect the data, trying to send the moves out in bulk like it's just not practical. So outsourcing to the experts is the way forward because it frees up your time to focus on what you want to do and where your skill sets lie. I would say follow the steps given in the FastTrack program. Don't feel like, you know, better. If you don't know the industry, or you've never purchased the business before, you learn as you go.

Did you know that France forced Haiti to pay billions in so-called reparations to their former slave masters? Don't miss African People's Solidarity Committee Chairwoman Penny Hess and White Lies Shattered host Jamie Simpson continue to sum up the recent New York Times Article, "The Ransom" which lays out the colonial plunder of Haiti carried out by France and the US. In part 2 of this episode, Hess and Simpson reveal that it is the uneasy equilibrium between colonialism and the African Revolution that has forced the colonial media to expose the plunder of Haiti. This episode also addresses the fact that the parasitic relationship between France and African people in Haiti is not unique. It is part of a colonial mode of production, a global system of colonial capitalism which requires extreme poverty and oppression for African and other colonized people in order to prop up the wealth of Europe and white people.  

Penny Hess and Jamie Simpson sum up the recent NY Times article, " The Ransom: The root of Haiti's suffering: reparations to enslavers," about the colonial plunder France and the US inflicted on Africans in Haiti as retribution for the world's first successful workers' revolution.

It was an issue that dogged Iain Rankin in the last general election in Nova Scotia. Since then, we have a new premier, a new government and a new minister of Natural Resources. Also, the developers behind the potential golf resort at Owls Head have withdrawn their offer of purchase of the 285-hectare package of uninhabited Crown property and the Nova Scotia government recently announced Owls Head would in deed become protected from development once and for all.

This week, we're excited to welcome Farmer Lee Jones to Salt + Spine, the podcast on stories behind cookbooks.Lee grew up in Ohio, where his family has farmed for about six generations. Fresh into college at just 19 years old, Lee saw everything his family owned gone in a day—their farm, their house, their car—after a hail storm devastated their crops, and interest rates were sky-high. At that moment, the family pivoted to smaller-scale farming, catering to farmers’ markets.And it was at a farmers market in Cleveland, Ohio, that a chef approached them. asking where she could buy the type of vegetables she was used to cooking with in Europe, meaning organic, heirloom, chemical-free produce. Lee was in his early 20s, and the family took a vote—and decided to transition to growing only quality ingredients for chefs to use in their restaurants. And that paved the path forward.Today, Lee’s family farm has become The Chef’s Garden, which focuses on regenerative farming and supplies some of the world’s greatest chefs with the quality ingredients they rely on. There is also a major focus on research and innovation, with the Culinary Vegetable Institute, a research and training center on the farm that brings chefs and farmers around the globe together to learn about and innovate on vegetables.And now that wealth of generational knowledge is coming together in Lee’s first cookbook, also titled The Chef’s Garden. It’s both a guide (to more than 500 types of produce and herbs, both common and less-known) and a cookbook, with a collection of more than 100 recipes, including many developed by Jamie Simpson, head chef at the Culinary Vegetable Institute.START COOKING TODAY: Bookshop | IndieBound |AmazonIf you thought you knew vegetables, wait until you see recipes for things like a Seared Rack of Brussels Sprouts, or Cornbread-Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms—or even sweets like Onion Caramel and Beet Marshmallows.Lee joined us remotely for this week’s episode to #TalkCookbooks, calling in from the farm and wearing, of course, his signature overalls-and-red-bow-tie getup.

A group of environmentalists lost in their application to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court to have a judicial review of a decision to delist Owls Head as a provincial park. They also wanted to challenge the government's decision to offer the 285 hectares of land to be developed into a golf course along the Eastern Shore. In her ruling, the Justice said “[I]f a remedy is sought by the public, the proper recourse in our constitutional democracy is not through the courts, but at the ballot box.” Jamie Simpson is with Juniper Law and he represented the parties that made the application for the review.

This is a follow up interview with Ohio farmer, Lee Jones and chef Jamie Simpson. Farmer Lee Jones and food writer Kristin Donnelly have just released a 600+ page book that is the quintessential encyclopedia of vegetables. The Chefs Garden, A Modern Guide to Common and Unusual Vegetables with Recipes shares decades of knowledge about the most familiar vegetables and those that might be new to us like salsify, cardoons or oca. Jamie Simpson, The Chef Garden's executive chef, has devised recipes that honor the best qualities of each vegetable and stretch our understanding of what we can do with them. In this episode we talk about how the vegetables we eat have changed over the years, how the book is organized and how to use it, and Jamie's discovery of a brand new way to make vegetable stock, among other things. And I get schooled on the difference between soil and dirt.

With Chef Jamie Simpson of the Culinary Vegetable InstituteHow do you make the best vegetable stock you've ever tried? Is vegan demiglace even possible? What the heck do you do with all of those carrot tops? Chef Jamie Simpson answers all these questions and more. Jamie is the Executive Chef at the Culinary Vegetable Institute, the educational, research, and event facility at The Chef's Garden. Jamie and I worked closely together for three+ years on the book The Chef's Garden: A Modern Guide to Common and Unusual Vegetables. In my opinion, he has one of the best jobs in the food biz—his job is to constantly inspire people with new ways to look at vegetables. With the book about to be out in the world, we sat down and had a couple of conversations about how he approaches his job and some of the most notable recipes.Buy The Chef's Garden bookhttps://www.chefs-garden.com/book  Read the full postwww.plantoutloud.com/episodes/jamie-simpsonFollow Plant Out Loud on Instagramwww.instagram.com/plant.outloudFollow Jamie Simpson on Instagramwww.instagram.com/james_simpson86Stewart & Claire (Use the code PLANTOUTLOUD for 15% off at check-out)www.stewartandclaire.com

Episode 4: Shattering the lie that capitalism was born as a benign and progressive system Reparations in Action: White Lies Shattered Series Podcast and FM radio show continues Friday, March 19th at 3pm EST with Episode 4 in which Penny Hess, Chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee, destroys the lie that capitalism was born as a benign and progressive system in Europe and only later became the oppressive, world wide system of imperialism we know today.  This episode of the White Lies Shattered series uses African Internationalism to show that capitalism was born through brutal imperial plunder as a violent and parasitic entity that cannot be saved or reformed. As Chairman Omali Yeshitela has said, "There is no such thing as a kinder, gentler colonialism." Reparations in Action airs weekly on Black Power 96.3 FM in St. Petersburg, FL from 3-4pm EST and can be heard on BlackPower96.org, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Email hosts Jamie Simpson and Jesse Nevel with your questions and comments at RIA@BlackPower96.org    

    On Episode 3 of "White Lies Shattered," co-hosts Jamie Simpson and Jesse Nevel use the political theory and historical analysis of African Internationalism to expose and destroy the white nationalist lie that "Africans sold themselves into slavery," a foul and slanderous lie propagated by imperialism to blame African people for their own oppression and attempt to discredit the righteous struggle for reparations and African liberation. This episode of "White Lies Shattered," refutes this slanderous fabrication with historical research from the Overturning the Culture of Violence Project coordinated by Penny Hess, Chair of the African People's Solidarity Committee.  Learn the truth about the African response to slavery and colonialism: Fierce, unrelenting resistance from day one, and continuing to this very day.  If you want to know who benefited from slavery, all you have to do is "Follow the money." Listen to episode 3 to go deeper.

Episode 1: Shattering the white lie that "Europeans brought civilization to the world" On the premiere episode of "White Lies Shattered," a special series hosted by Reparations in Action, Penny Hess, Chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee explores the genocidal origins of capitalism and uproot the lies white people tell ourselves about slavery, colonialism and how Europe and the white world came into existence. In the first episode of White Lies Shattered, Penny Hess and co-hosts Jamie Simpson and Jesse Nevel will use the historical record and the theory of African Internationalism developed by Chairman Omali Yeshitela to obliterate the myth that Europe brought civilization to the world. Join this whirlwind tour of history through the eyes of the African working class.

In this episode, I interview Jamie Simpson, the Executive Chef of the Culinary Vegetable Institute.

His role in providing hundreds of fresh vegetables across the United States and the emphasis on creating a more sustainable food industry makes this an extremely interesting episode!

After working pretty much all over Scotland with a load of amazing museums Scott is now general manager at Hospitalfield House in Arbroath.  He’s pretty much lived in every city in Scotland making his way around some amazing and prestigious galleries and museums curating their collections. Now at Hospitalfield House Scott is part of a wider team helping make everything up there happen. From tours to events and workshops to artist shows and collaborative working there's loads going on. The house itself is a 13th century hospital that then became the UK's first art school. I'm really not going to do it justice by describing it so go check out their website to see some photos. It has some amazing architectural features, staircases and rooms filled with beautiful and historical objects. Everything seems to have a story and Scott is a fountain of knowledge even though he's only been there a few years. We did the recordings of this episode and last week's with Jamie Simpson, in the library and putting my coffee down on the table I wasn't sure whether it was 20 or 200 years old. Everything in there has the potential to be a valuable heirloom. What struck me most about being their was the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. People buzzing about made it feel like a weird sort of family home and I think that's exactly the atmosphere Scott and the rest of the team are try to create. So if you haven't been there already get yourself along to Arbroath for a tour and a wander round the grounds, it'll be a well spent afternoon. On another note, that's it for 2017 for the podcast. It's been an amazing year and I feel like I've come a long way in a short period of time. So here's to next year with more wonderful guests with amazing life stories to inspire you all.

The only coffee roaster in Angus, Jamie is  based in Arbroath and is 1 third of Sacred Grounds coffee company, creating delicious roasts ready to grind up and enjoy. We open up with a really interesting conversation about identity in relation to where you are from. It’s a strange one that I always ponder, am I now from Dundee? Or do I default to where I grew up just outside Edinburgh? It’s always a tricky on but I think it depends on who you’re speaking too and the place that you identify more with. For me that’s Dundee now. There’s 2 real strands in Jamie’s life music and coffee. Although we don’t get much time to chat about the music side of it you can hear some more of the story during Layla Brown’s episode talking about their band Lunan Bay. Jamie talks about how his love affair with coffee began and grew with several home roasters made out of little popcorn machines. We also got onto the concept of the ‘hipster’ and Jamie does confess that he adheres to some of the stereotypes. I think what this time period has given us is an appreciation of quality and focusing on ethical and sustainable approaches to working and living. Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of interspersed bullshit along the way but there are some positives to be taken from this era. Artisan Roast a roaster and coffee shop in Edinburgh and subsequently Glasgow is where Jamie met Fatima. A 5kg coffee roasting machine from Turkey. He learned his trade on her with Artisan Roast in Glasgow and ended up purchasing her to start up sacred grounds. Jamie’s story is fascinating and looking forward he’s not in it to make truckloads of cash, just enough to sustain a comfortable and enjoyable life. This is a common viewpoint from other people that I’ve had on the podcast as well. Make enough money to live comfortably and have some disposable income to enjoy. If you can do that while doing a job that you love then you’ve made it.
