What do a classical pianist, a filmmaker, and a CEO have in common? In this week's episode of Hiring Matters, Ken Schmitt dives into the fascinating mind of Jieho Lee—CEO, Chief People Officer, and movie director. From ivory keys to boardrooms, Jieho takes us on a wild ride, showing us how the skills he developed on the movie set translate directly to leading a diverse and dynamic workforce. Cue the drama! Ken and Jieho hash out the great debate: Should company culture be more "work hard, play hard" à la Netflix, or should we strive for something a little more, dare we say, fun? Jieho argues that a workplace should spark joy, not dread, while Ken questions if the tough-love, performance-driven environment is a necessary evil. Expect a few verbal eye rolls and some serious food for thought. Together, they dig into managing a multi-generational workforce. Spoiler alert: Boomers, Gen Z, and everyone in between don't all want the same things from their jobs (shocking, we know). So, how do you balance these diverse expectations without losing your sanity? Jieho and Ken tackle it head-on, offering insights, laughs, and even a few leadership facepalms along the way. Whether you're managing egos on a movie set or in a boardroom, creating a safe, collaborative space is essential. And Jieho's secret sauce? Humility, reflection, and realizing that even CEOs (and directors) are only as good as the teams they lead. Tune in for a conversation packed with humor, hard truths, and a fresh perspective on how to lead, hire, and retain top talent—whether you're running a company or filming the next blockbuster. Key Takeaways: Artsy types make great CEOs (who knew?). Classical music taught Jieho the importance of harmony—literally and figuratively. Is fun the new productivity? Multi-generational management: It's like herding cats but with more Slack messages. Cultural fit or diversity of thought? Hint: You need both. A good leader knows how to adapt and evolve. The best leader? Knows how to laugh through it. Have questions or personal experiences?

We'd love to hear what's happening on your workplace “movie set”!

Before making his mark in the film industry, Lee directed high-profile commercials for brands such as Ralph Lauren, Victoria's Secret, and Tommy Hilfiger.

Hometown Radio 06/11/24 4p: Leigh Rubin and Kane Lynch discuss comics and comic strips

L'Estate è ancora lunga e quindi mi concede questo divertissement sul Pendente, rimembrando le mie esperienze da videogiocatore. Dai magici (o quasi) anni '90 fino al cupo 2023, ecco una rassegna a tema videoludico tutta per voi. Divertitevi! In una Shanghai piovosa e tetra, ci sono due figure pronte a seminare morte e sofferenza dietro di loro. Costoro sono Kane e Lynch, due uomini spezzati protagonisti di un videogioco crudo e spietato che sembra guardare ai migliori titoli del genere come i film di Michael Mann.

Speaking of Disney, Kane Lynch remarks that “their power and wealth is more like a nation than an entertainment company.” As you'll learn in this episode, they even have a secret police force called Global Intelligence and Threat Analysis. Previously, we explored Disney's role in exporting American capitalism around the globe. This week, Kane joins us again to discuss the corporation's efforts to recapture the whimsy and magic of Walt's legacy while reaching their corporate tentacles across the globe. We also explore the company's shady labor practices, their decisions to move jobs overseas rather than negotiating with striking animators, and their recent involvement in the culture wars with Florida's “Don't Say Gay” bill. Tune in to hear how to company went from exporting right wing capitalist ideology to being canceled by conservatives.Kane Lynch is a cartoonist and educator whose non-fiction and journalism comics and illustrations have appeared on The Nib, Slate, and Psychology Today and in the 2020 graphic novel titled Guantanamo Voices.

Speaking of Disney – the company that has forced us “to share the same formative dreams” – film critic Richard Schickel writes, “As capitalism, it is a work of genius; as culture, it is mostly a horror.” In this episode, I speak with cartoonist and educator Kane Lynch, who walks us through the story of Walt Disney, the birth of the Disney empire, and the many ways the company has helped to export capitalist ideology around the globe. Tune in to hear how Disney cartoons were used as propaganda during WWII and later as a means of combating the spread of communism in Latin America. Kane Lynch is a cartoonist and educator whose non-fiction and journalism comics and illustrations have appeared on The Nib, Slate, and Psychology Today and in the 2020 graphic novel Guantanamo Voices. He also has a kids' graphic novel coming out in 2024 titled First Steps. Follow him on Instagram and Twitter, and check out his website here. .I'm brokenhearted to report that the creator of our amazing intro song, Tim Hunt, (a.k.a. DRMWVR), recently suffered a terrible accident.  He fell from a balcony, smashing 5 vertebrae and 7 ribs. He is currently paralyzed from the waist down, unable to feel or move his legs. While he is going to fight like hell for the chance to walk again, the mental, logistical, and financial challenges in front of him are insanely daunting. Everything that has the potential to give Tim the best chances of recovery is ridiculously expensive, including rent near his rehab center and a $30,000 electrode machine that will allow him to keep exercising his legs once he leaves the facility. If any of you have the ability to contribute to Tim's mutual aid fund,  it would do so much to help Tim take on the many challenges that lie ahead. I would appreciate it so much! You can contribute through his GoFundMe page right here, or through the link in his bio! Follow Tim on Instagram to see his art and watch his inspirational healing journey. I'm constantly being blown away by his strength in the face of adversity. I can barely navigate this capitalist hellscape on a good day!

In this episode, Madelyn and Emma discuss Kane & Lynch and Cozy Grove and decide whether a seagull can be a bear. Also featuring old YouTube aesthetics, calling people ugly, and the comfort of checklists.

"Harm reduction is not just service delivery, it's not just a set of techniques, it's not just a viewpoint of how to engage problematic drug use or sex or whatever have you, it's also part of a social movement that looks for a more just world for drug users, sex workers — that population. So it has a social critique saying, no shit, this is not right." - Rafael Torruella This documentary episode of The Response explores how community-based harm reduction programs are responding to climate-fueled disasters and other systems-disrupting emergencies. The 40-min audio documentary features interviews with Rafael Torruella (executive director of Intercambios Puerto Rico), Justin Kunzelman (executive director and co-founder of Rebel Recovery Florida), and Savannah O'Neill (associate director of capacity building at the National Harm Reduction Coalition).  Episode credits: Host and executive producer: Tom Llewellyn Senior producer and scriptwriter: Robert Raymond Field production and script editing: Tom Llewellyn Additional script editing: Elizabeth Carr and Neal Gorenflo Graphic art created for this episode by Kane Lynch  Theme music: Cultivate Beats A special thank you to everyone who was interviewed for this project

Porting an Xbox One/PS4 game to Switch is like trying to rock a rhyme that's right on time. It's tricky. There are plenty of studios that specialize in the process and some ports are downright amazing, but most players know no matter the pedigree of the team handling the project, concessions will be made. Some are small and barely noticeable. Others, like with Outer Worlds, are right out in the open. That's just one of the topics on this episode of Podtoid. Charlotte, Dan, Chris, CJ, and Occams come together to talk about Outer Worlds on Switch, Grand Theft Auto V, Fallout 76, and Maneater. All that, plus we answer listener questions, Chris introduces us to the amazing Undercover Cop mode from Kane & Lynch 2, and CJ butchers the word "foliage," on Podtoid Episode 446.

In this documentary episode of The Response Podcast, we take a deep dive into the work being done by the Chico chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA. Their mutual aid work in response to the coronavirus pandemic is just a microcosm of the whole country, from major cities to rural communities, where DSA and other, similar organizations have been stepping in to fill many of the gaps left by the local, state, and federal response. Episode credits: Host and executive producer: Tom Llewellyn Senior producer, field production, and scriptwriter: Robert Raymond Script editors: Courtney Pankrat, Tom Llewellyn, and Neal Gorenflo.  The graphic art created for this episode by Kane Lynch was inspired by photos taken by Brittany White.  Information gathering and fact-checking: Addison and Alex (Chico DSA) A special thank you to all the volunteers at Chico DSA, and to those who are living at Bird Street and Comanche Creek Greenway for letting us into their homes.

I dette afsnit har vi byttet pladser. Det vil derfor sige at Stinella er gæsten i hendes egen podcast og Jøden agerer vært. Du skal høre om spillet Kane & Lynch Dead Men, som er et spil der ikke har fået speciel høj rating af IMDB - hvilket der også er en grund til...

This week's Cost of a Coffee game is Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, which was universally panned upon release.  However seeing it for £2.99 at our local GAME store, we purchased it in lieu of our usual caffeinated pick-me-up.  It's the game that everyone thought IO Interactive shouldn't have wasted their time developing.  When I heard this was getting development time rather than a new Hitman game, I was more disappointed than the time that six tonnes of leaking liquid helium damaged some 50 superconducting magnets and contaminated the proton tube with soot at the Large Hadron Collider.  Things didn't start well when the install corrupted before the menu had even loaded.  Not good.  Deleting and restarting fixed the problem and we were treated to possibly one of the prettiest menu screens I've ever seen, which consist of handycam images of scenes from Shanghai.  They are very nicely detailed and some of them are difficult to differentiate from real footage.  This aesthetic flows through to the game itself with all the areas you visit having a nice level of detail to the environments, which we'd expect from the pedigree of the developer.  Unfortunately that's about the best of it.

This week! CJ's out of the office and Phil just had a baby. Thus, lots of baby talk bookends discussions about CJ buying a PSVita, Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational, Hustle Kings, Vessel, Journey, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, Assassin's Creed III, Happy Action Theater, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, The Patriot, and Steaming Boxes.

We had a double awesome show this week, so it's only appropriate that technical issues killed half of the show. Meanwhile, you get a full games segment, where we discuss Kane & Lynch 2, Shank, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and a ridiculous amount more as Anthony speaks about his adventures at Gamescom. Next week, join us in welcoming the scribe of Xanthor. This week's music: Stars - Dead Hearts

Nathan starts us off with some Fallout 3 and moves into Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days.

Jon wraps us up with Adventure Island, more of his usual old games and one very obscure Mario game at the end. Gamescon is going on this week in Germany and we get news such as Mortal Kombat getting real time updates when launched, Microsoft announcing Flight and Mass Effect 2 heading to PS3s. THQ bumps up their online play to $10 and begins development on a tablet peripheral on the Wii, Microsoft also announces a list of games coming to Windows Mobile 7.

Nathan kicks us off with some of his Limbo wrap up, The Club and the Kane & Lynch 2 demo.

Jon wraps us up with Klonoa 2 and Dragon Quest 9. When it comes to news we talk about punishing people in Halo: Reach, Sony Lifestyle and just how excited we are about The Tester season 2. Valve decides to help out other developers and Kick-Ass is now out on DVD/BD so go buy it!

Things get rolling with a handful of Indie Games featuring Text Zedventure, Super Avatar World, Avatar Pinball, Ophidian Wars: Opac's Journey, and Platformance: Castle Pain.  Craig and Sean manuever the dangerous world of LIMBO, Sean brings the arcade home with Hydro Thunder Hurricane, and Jeremy goes it alone with the oddly addictive Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.  Sean and Craig both checked out the new demo for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, Sean takes advantage of some 20x XP in Gears of War 2 and gets lost in the sandbox that is Toy Story 3, and Craig has some pointed opinions on Final Fantasy XIII.  The show closes with Jeremy's report on his visit to the San Diego Comic-Con including looks at Dead Space 2, Red Faction Armageddon, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, James Bond: Blood Stone, Comic Jumper, and how he would totally leave you sitting on a bench in order to chat with the cast of NBC's Community.

In the second half of our story, a confrontation! Last week on the show, a trip into the Facebook Other Messages folder revealed the true story of a conman who started and abandoned families across the country. Now, all of his families have found one another and we have the actual audio of the emotional moment they found him. In partnership with Kane Lynch, author of the graphic novel about this story, Smooth As Glass. From audio recored by Avery Trufelman (99% Invisible, Articles of Interest)
