In a fresh new format, we are honoured to welcome not one, not two, but three esteemed retiring/retired staff bandmasters for an enlightening discourse. Ken Waterworth, of the Melbourne Staff Band, Olaf Ritman, of the Amsterdam Staff Band, and John Lam, of the Canadian Staff Band, talk about this seismic shift in staff bandmaster leadership that we're currently experiencing.

This week we head to Boston, where I'm speaking with Boston Ballet's legendary principal dancer, John Lam. John has the most incredible story: His Vietnamese parents were refugees who settled in the US and John, together with his brother and sister grew up in relative poverty in California. Traditional family values meant education was key in John's family, but he accidentally found dance as a young boy when his daycare offered it as an extra activity. And from there, the love affair began. John went on to train at Canada's National Ballet School, and on graduation was offered a position at the Boston Ballet. In this wondrous and beautiful conversation, John talks about the joys of dance, about finding his sexuality and the moment he came out to his parents. But we also talk about more about navigating race and racism in ballet, about meeting his husband, becoming a dad to their two boys, and John's hopes that his parents will one day see him dance.Trigger WarningThis episode discusses ideas around suicide.

“Dancing on a high level is—you have to be open. You have to be open that you can get injured. You have to be open that you will have to face things that you don't want to face. Because if we are not open and instead are close-minded, we cannot grow.” In this week's episode of The Injured Athletes Club, principal dancer at the Boston Ballet, John Lam, discusses his journey from a catastrophic injury back to the stage. He details the physical and mental struggles he encountered during his recovery, emphasizing the importance of patience, personal growth, having a trusted support system, and being open to change.

He constantly had to fight against the expectations of his culture, his peers, and his family.John Lam: When John was 14, at Marin Ballet, Mikko Nissinen cast the young dancer. 16 years later, John and Mikko continue to work together, John as Principal Dancer and Mikko as Boston Ballet's Artistic Director.At age 35 John is the first Vietnamese American male in history to become a principal dancer in a major ballet company.At the beginning of the podcast, I mention a story in Dance Magazine that states that almost 60% of the men in dance companies were gay. The same article writes that as if to protect their own macho image, Americans, in particular, love to embrace the idea that the stereotype of male dancers automatically being gay. Here is the link

The world of IoT has been evolving industries for several years now; from manufacturing to retail, data is giving businesses unparalleled decision making capabilities. But are businesses really leveraging IoT to its full potential? To dive deep into the subject, we were joined by Atul Patel, CEO & co-founder of Edyza Inc., an enabler of IoT for high-density connectivity and computing, and John Lam, vice president of sales for Premio Inc., a designer, and builder of computing technologies, including embedded systems. Patel began his journey with IoT with home automation. In 2012, this was a very novel market but something he wanted to explore. But there were challenges. “There were lots of bugs and issues with interoperability. I learned what it was like from the consumer standpoint and knew there had to be a better approach when applying IoT to Industry 4.0,” Patel said. The problem with applying it to Industry 4.0 is there are different types of connectivity and specific use cases force business to pick a path. “Our clients need microanalysis of every five square feet of an area and so many things to track and individual sensors. There is a breadth of different options to connect. We think that integration will happen more at the cloud and Edge. We can make this happen with the powerful Premio devices," Patel said. To truly maximize IoT devices, Patel & Lam argue you need more sensors, potentially hundreds per task. To the uninformed, it may seem excessive or unimaginable to run a stable network of that many nodes and that much data. When that infrastructure is there, though, the data captured is hard to fathom. “If you had a factory where temperature was critical, and you only had one thermostat, I would challenge you to have hundreds. If the cost and implementation were minimal, wouldn't you want a full-scale view? It opens up the opportunity to collect data and becomes a necessity. They were making decisions on just a few touchpoints; now they have much more information," Patel said. Edyza doesn't achieve this alone; a powerful digital infrastructure means reliable hardware. Premio works with companies like Edyza and other Industry 4.0 change-makers to provide the back-end to the back-end. “There is much diversity in sensors. The goal is to have big data collection from the sensors. From the Premio perspective, we are the engine to collect the data, creating predictability and the ability to make better decisions for companies," Lam said.
http://annettbone.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Balancing-Between-Life-and-Ballet.png () Session Summary: Ballet. Balance. These two words clearly go together. Throw in life such as a family with a husband, two young sons, and juggling different responsibilities. Where does balance come in now? I personally prefer the word harmony over balance but in this context, balance will work. John Lam, Principal Dancer at The Boston Ballet, and I have fantastic dialogue regarding his perspectives of being a family man, the importance of artistry beyond ballet technique, and how life informs his work.
