Episode 131: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Stephanie Decker, Associate Vice President of Social and Economic Impact at Lackawanna College. Stephanie took over cooking duties for her family when she was just 10 years old after her mother became mentally ill and as her father was suffering from alcoholism. She went on to study at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) to become a Chef, worked for 20+ years in the restaurant industry, 10 of which she owned her own restaurant. In 2010, her life and purpose intersected when she met a few executives from Lackawanna College that tasked her with starting the College's School of Hospitality program. She built it from scratch with borrowed kitchens, Bunsen burners, and pots and pans out of the trunk of her car. The program now boasts 4 degrees and an 85 seat restaurant and bar at their main campus in Scranton, PA. Now, as the College's AVP of Social and Economic Impact, she uses her scrappy, make-it-happen mindset to help people live better lives through education, entrepreneurship, and community connection. We also discuss a book that she is co-authoring along with Lackawanna College President Dr. Jill Murray, and Provost Dr. Erica Barone Pricci. The book, which hasn't been published yet, focuses on the strategies these 3 leaders implemented over the last 10+ years to create a culture of innovation at the College, one of which landed the College on Fast Company's prestigious list of the World's Most Innovative Companies.

For our latest episode, we sat down with President and Chief Innovation Officer Dr. Jill Murray and Provost Dr. Erica Barone Pricci of Lackawanna College. Lackawanna is a premier, private, college serving the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania. However, the school is focused on taking a different approach to education, and last year it was included in Fast Company's list of the World's Most Innovative Companies for its “Level Up” Program, which we talk about in this episode.  Lackawanna puts a strong focus on keeping higher education affordable and accessible to anyone in our immediate community. We discuss the evolution of Lackawanna in recent years, and why it views itself as a “disrupter” in the higher education space. Jill and Erica explain why the college's mission is to educate students not only to be prepared for their professions upon graduation, but to be well-rounded citizens who are stakeholders in their community. They also tell the stories behind their own unique career paths, how they think about team building, and why having a strong culture is essential to any successful organization.This past semester, I joined Lackawanna as an adjunct professor. For me it was a way to spend time doing something I am passionate about, which is improving financial literacy and providing investor education to more people. One of the core tenants of our firm is providing people with tools to make better decisions in a complex financial world, and I was excited to be able to do that in a classroom setting for the first time. Lackawanna was a natural fit given the school's mission. We discussed why financial literacy isn't taught more effectively within the education system, how they approach decision-making themselves, and why education must shift to being viewed as an ongoing pursuit rather than a short-term goal in today's economy. I also asked Jill and Erica, and what the future looks like for the higher education system in the years to come and what role Lackawanna plays in it. It was an incredible conversation that highlights a great institution helping to make our region better in so many ways. Thanks again to Jill and Erica for a great discussion, and we hope that you enjoy this episode.

This 'Bit Beyond' celebrates the latest outing of everyone's favourite double-gun-toting treasure hunter. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara Croft's motivation, inner conflict and aggression are explored as never before. Probably because of the amazing work from the game's lead writer - Jill Murray. Lara jumps impossibly far, hangs from the thinnest crevice, uses that bow to deadly effect and has multiple conversations with female characters about important matters like, oh you know, the destruction of the world and the Lara-caused apocalypse. This one's for the players - and the girls.

Making the decision to end a marriage is stressful enough. But for those women who have been misled or misinformed about their legal rights, it may not feel like they have any choice at all. There is so much overlap between the emotional and legal aspects of divorce, women need guidance that encompasses both elements of the process. Jill Murray is one of the nation’s leading experts on unhealthy relationships. She has appeared on CNN, Dr. Phil, The Today Show and Good Morning America. Adam Dodge is a former divorce attorney who now serves as Legal Director of Laura’s House, an emergency shelter for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Together, Jill and Adam wrote The Empowered Woman’s Guide to Divorce, a resource to help women navigate the decision to end a marriage, the legal and emotional components of the process, and the challenges of the aftermath. Today, Jill and Adam join Katherine to discuss the intersection between the legal and emotional aspects of divorce. Jill explains how she conceived of the idea for The Empowered Woman’s Guide… and how it serves as a tool for therapists, lawyers and women considering divorce. Adam shares how he came to work with victims of domestic violence, his role in providing women with accurate legal information, and the important idea of ‘actions as evidence.’ Listen in for insight around the idea of love as a behavior, not just a feeling, and how to approach safely collecting information about your financial situation as you consider divorce.

2016 has been put on notice by our guests Jill (writer on Your Shape: Fitness Evolved and the Assassin’s Creed series, including Liberation, Black Flag, and Freedom Cry) and Corey (writer on Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, The Two Thrones, Batman: Arkham Origins, and lead writer on Assassin's Creed 1, 2, and 3), who are here to talk about how everything is writing even if nobody will believe you, staying creatively refreshed, the brain’s thirst for motor activities during procrastination, how one is never done writing a game even after shipping, the insularity of the games industry vs other mediums, the treatment of making games as software instead of entertainment, why it's so hard to get rid of the cutscene/gameplay/cutscene structure, how games have a lot to learn about nonverbal storytelling from dance, the need to embrace failure, how pressure does NOT make diamonds in game development, working with a nonexistent creative vision, being forced to make decisions and live with them as early as possible, not holding out for a better idea, and more things The Good Wife can teach us about narrative design.

Dr. Jill Murray IF IT DOESN’T LEAVE A BRUISE, CAN IT BE ABUSE?           How can it be abuse when he never hit me?  How can you call it domestic violence when there are no black eyes or broken bones?  Easy.  There are many ways one human being can bully, damage, and control another and only one of them involves physical attacks.  Verbal abuse, psychological abuse, spiritual abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse—they may sound like they are not nearly as bad as those broken bones, but in fact those types of abuse can actually have more devastating consequences for the victim.  Bones heal; black eyes get better; but when your security, your peace of mind, your doubts about your worth are consistently beaten down, the effects are not so easily repaired.           Dr. Jill Murray is an expert in teen dating violence as well as an expert on domestic violence issues, and has a private practice in California.  She has been on Oprah, Dr. Phil (and we’re going to ask her about him, for sure), Anderson Cooper, 20/20 and other national programs.   She also has written several books on abusive relationships, including her most recent, “But He Never Hit Me,” which won the Publisher’s Choice award.  She knows her stuff, and she is going to share it with us on Saturday. Join us Saturday at 11 am Pacific Time to learn more about how abuse can be many things, and how abuse can have long lasting consequences for its victims.
