Matters of Windows by Jane Lee and Dan Semo In our first story, a reflective monologue on the passage of time, missed opportunities and life choices. “We rush through life pretending we have all the time in the world, but the window is always getting smaller.” Soggy Window by Martin Zaltz Austwick Next up, Martin makes a song out of the squeegee. Time to wipe your windows. Lumi by Andrea Kristinsdottir In our third story, Andrea leaves a window open - and someone escapes. A wholesome search for a cheeky little thing. Meow. The Window by Danni Stewart Through our final window... A ‘part-time’ shirtless guy. Unsolicited flowers. Her window and his window. “The next time I looked at the window, everything was gone.” “I never even spoke to him. So why do I miss him? I don't know.” Thank you to Phoebe McIndoe and all of the audio artists who shared their stories.

Chatting to Jane Lee (@janethecrazy) very quickly has you growing itchy feet. Jane has fostered a life of travel, which allows her to stay open to adventure and collecting memories. We talk about her recent trip to Japan and the new energy this amazing place has given her. These trips and journals are the perfect combination for Jane's love of collecting and elevating “trash” to memories. Jane talks about how she was able to overcome the need for perfection in her journals by creating in little bursts throughout her day allowing pages and spreads space and time to develop naturally. Developing this creative habit has kept her curious, open and hungry to keep making. Jane shares with us that her mistakes taught her more than her “perfect” spreads ever did - so allowing yourself to make mistakes is essential for growth.  Warning: This one is going to have you looking up flights to Japan…

Jane Lee Rankin shares insights from her memoir "Farm Family: A Solo Mom's Memoir of Finding Home, Happiness, and Alpacas." As Lee shares her experiences, her dreams, and the value of trusting her intuition, we find her the reasoning in her choosing to be a single mom, and to create a farm that has been fulfilling for her, her son, her community and then some. Apple Hill Farm is an award-winning first-generation farm in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, and it's an agritourism destination for people from across the country and elsewhere. And Lee points out, it's never too late to pursue a dream, having started the farm at age 40. www.janeleerankin.com  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

With monthly inflation at its highest level for 2024, Australians are changing their habits of consumption when eating out and at home. This includes buying less weekday coffees and less vegetables, while also saving up for a weekend brunch. At the same time, there's been increasing scrutiny on prices through Craig Emerson's report on the food and grocery code of conduct as well as an undercover shopping study by Choice on price differences between Aldi, Coles and Woolworths. Jane Lee speaks to senior business reporter Jonathan Barrett about why he thinks we're heading towards stagflation, how cafes and restaurants are coping with reduced demand and other ways the government could be addressing the causes of inflation

Food allergies, particularly in children, can be inconvenient and distressing. And global trends show that allergies differ country to country – with peanut allergies being more common in Australia, the UK and the US, and less common in Asia. Jane Lee speaks to Jennifer Koplin, an associate professor at the University of Queensland, about how factors such as genetics, migration and pets in the home are contributing to our growing understanding of food allergies in children

Victoria's Yoorrook Justice Commission will soon wind up its formal hearings, with its final recommendations to the state government due next year.

In this episode of She's Not Done Yet: Conversations with women over 50, I (Becky Berry) talk with author and farmer Jane Lee Rankin about her amazing journey to her alpaca and llama farm! Jane Lee and I had a great time talking at Apple Hill Farm, her alpaca and llama and donkey and chicken and many other animals - farm in Banner Elk, NC (I said the wrong name in the podcast). You'll hear some of the animals in the background, along with the delightful wind you'll hear in the background occasionally. After reading Jane Lee's memoir, Farm Family: A Solo Mom's Memoir of Finding Home, Happiness, and Alpaca's, I couldn't wait to talk to her.  Her memoir reads like a coming of age story where she comes back to herself through her journey through cancer treatment, to motherhood, and finally to farm owner. We talk about her determination to honor her inner child, never losing sight of her and always listening to her. And, how, in the flow of her life, she comes to embody the adult version of that little girl. We also talk about the value of being grounded, and, more than that, being grounded in reality. Jane Lee shares how keeping the farm going reacquainted her with the reality of life - no matter how bad your night was, the animals have to be fed the next morning. Her story is interesting, compelling, and filled with nuggets of wisdom. Enjoy! Thanks in Advance for your help: I hope you enjoy this episode. If you did, don't keep it a secret!

Thirty years ago, 164 children born in inner-city Melbourne were selected to take part in a longitudinal study into inequality. Tracking the twists and turns of each child's life into adulthood, the study examined issues such as housing, income, health and job opportunities. And asked – what really determines someone's fate? Inequality reporter Stephanie Convery tells Jane Lee why inequality in Australia is ultimately a policy choice.

Why is the best way to get a pay rise to get a new job? Millennials have entered the workforce at a time when work is precarious: a third of Australia's workforce are employed as casuals, freelancers or on short-term contracts.

From weathering nature's fury to navigating the complexities of agritourism, Jane's story is a beacon for anyone contemplating a midlife pivot. Her accomplishments as a single mother, farmer, and advocate are not merely inspiring; they redefine what it means to chase a seemingly impossible dream.   Join us as Jane shares the intricacies of alpaca farming, the unexpected joys of rural entrepreneurship, and the profound lessons learned in her pursuit of freedom and fulfillment. Her story is a vivid reminder that the whispers of our soul, no matter how faint, can lead to a life of purpose and connection beyond our wildest imaginations.   Whether you're facing a midlife transition, an empty nest, or simply yearning for a life that's more aligned with your innermost desires, Jane's story will embolden you to step into the unknown with grace and grit. Tune in to discover how one woman's leap of faith into the world of alpacas became a journey of self-discovery and community building.

SaaStr 728: How to Double Your Magic Number and Increase Your Go-to-Market Efficiency with Sapphire Ventures Go-to-market (GTM) design and efficiency are sometimes overlooked, but they're a critical driver of any SaaS business. Rajeev Dham and Karan Singh, Partners at Sapphire Ventures, and Jane Lee, Vice President at Sapphire walk us through how to double your “Magic Number,” a shorthand for your sales and marketing efficiency. Magic Number is your growth in ARR over a quarter divided by the sales and marketing spend in the prior quarter.  Previously in SaaS, it was widely seen that anything > 1 was healthy if you were venture-backed, and anything > 1.5 is was seen as perhaps too capital-efficient.  If you were well-funded, 0.7 was fine. But as Rajeev, Karan, and Jane point out to set the stage for this discussion, Go-to-market efficiency in recent years has suffered a significant drop across both public and private SaaS companies.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SaaStr hosts the largest SaaS community events on the planet.
