Growing up on a blueberry farm Jessica Hammer was no stranger to what it takes to own a small business. After graduating, she travelled to Paris where she fell in love with wine and cheese…how typical right? She went back home and started in a job that involved her two new interests but without really knowing what was next for her. Jessica followed her husband who had an opportunity to work as a dance teacher in Toulouse and it is where she finally found herself and started Taste of Toulouse, a food market guiding experience for English-speaking tourists. In this episode Jessica talks about her introvert personality and how it works for her as a guide, she shares with us how she saw a gap in the market and created an opportunity to then grab it before it was too late and how, as a foreigner who barely new French, she became a business owner.Content: 1.40 : What is Taste Of Toulouse exactly?2.18 : Growing up on the family blueberry farm.2.50 : Moving to the big city working in marketing.4.06: First travel to France6.47 : From Chicago to Toulouse.

Virtual tours, should you create one or not? Today's guest is tourpreneur, Jessica Hammer, from Taste of Toulouse food tours. Jessica also wondered whether she should be creating virtual tours, so she asked herself seven questions, reflected on her answers, and decided that no, she wasn't going to use her resources on building a virtual tour. In today's episode, she talks us through the 7 questions she asked herself. She reveals some of those answers and shares her thinking on why she decided creating virtual tours of her food tours is not right for her business. If you feel the FOMO or that you're feeling the urge to follow other tour operators and create a virtual tour, is to also ask yourself the same seven questions and really reflect on those answers, and decide for yourself whether a virtual tour is a good use of your time and resources. I know some of our listeners are enjoying success with virtual tours. I would love to invite you to the show so you can share with us how you've set your virtual tours up? What were the key components? What were the costs? How did you market it? What's the reaction been? Are you making money? How are you measuring success? And because we are an independent podcast, we are always are happy to host different opinions on these issues. Get in touch if you want to share more about your virtual tours on the podcast.

Jessica Hammer founded the company Taste of Toulouse, which gives walking food tours in English in the city center of Toulouse, France. As an American, she and her husband moved to France a couple years ago and she has hit the ground running ever since. We talk about what it was like starting a business in another (non-English-speaking) country, and resources she tapped to make that transition as smooth as possible. We also talk about mental health and emotional intelligence as an entrepreneur (important!). She says she learned time and again what we all know about ourselves: “I’m stronger than I feel like I am sometimes.”Another part of our conversation that I loved was our chat about introversion and extroversion. Either way you swing, we talk about how recognize how you refuel and find energy is key to a happy work life and personal life.The warmth and hospitality in Toulouse and southwest France is remarkable, and I had such a great visit there -- in large part thanks to Jessica’s help in my researching bread in that area for my book. I also had the chance to hop on one of her tours of Le Marche Victor Hugo, which just reinforced the fact that food tours are a wonderful and unique way to get to know a place.You’ll going to love this episode, and will want to book that ticket to visit Toulouse (and take one of her food tours) asap!Don’t forget to sign up for my e-newsletter!

Berlin in 1943. Hitler has all but conquered Europe and millions of Jews have already died in the Holocaust. In the midst of this, a group of women gathered on Rose Street to demand action. They had lost their brothers, fathers, and husbands and wanted to know what had happened to them. They wanted them back and the protested for answers. It worked.This week on War College, Carnegie Mellon University professor Jessica Hammer and Moira Turkington of War Birds Games takes us through the Rosenstrasse protest and the emotional new game they’ve based on it.You can listen to War College on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play or follow our RSS directly.

Recorded at Metatopia 2016 Presented by Joshua Yearsley, John Adamus, Dr. Jessica Hammer. Writing and editing rulebooks is still a black art, not an empirical science. In this panel, Dr. Jessica Hammer and professional editors John Adamus and Joshua Yearsley hash out the state of the rulebook. What works? What doesn't? Why do so many professionals (including us!) disagree about how to write good rulebooks? Why are so many rulebooks still bad, and what can we do about it? We won't have all the answers - maybe you'll help us find some. It is somewhere between a panel and a roundtable. We'll certainly have things to say and discuss with each other, but we absolutely welcome audience input to figure out what the world's thinking about. Apologies for the poor sound quality.

Recorded at Metatopia 2016. Presented by Judeth Oden Choi, Jessica Hammer. Presentation of our findings from a two-year long study of playtesting practices and education. As we build and refine our games, sometimes it's hard to hold onto those brilliant ideas and goals that first inspired us. Playtesting with a purpose is about articulating design and experience goals for your game and using playtests to help refine those goals and express them more fully in game play. We will invite participants to try out some of our methods and open up for discussion of playtesting practices.

Games are increasingly seen as a way to address human needs, from the intimate work of maintaining social relationships to the pragmatic benefits of games for learning, health, and social change. If we hope to design games that address these needs, we must understand how people create meaning with, through, and around games. How do specific game design decisions impact the way players think, feel, and behave? What kinds of imaginative and social affordances can games provide players? And what kinds of problems are most appropriate to solve with games in the first place? This talk explores the complex interaction between game design, user experience, and real-world problems through the lens of game-based research projects on discrimination, smoking, and history.
