Through the upcoming documentary, George Lucas: The Lost Golden Age, they will interview many of the crew and creators who made this formative time the success that it was, leading to the Star Wars prequels and beyond. They join the podcast this week to give some insights into the documentary as well as to note how people can get involved via their Kickstarter.Support the Documentary's Kickstarter Here!Topics Discussed Include:1.

We explore the future of inclusive leadership with Kelli Lester, co-founder of Onyx Rising. Zoë opens with reflections on ageing, robotics in aged care, and the value of connection. And introduces Kelli, who shares insight on navigating today's polarised workplace and equipping leaders for diverse, resilient teams. Kelli unpacks the backlash against DEI programs, reframing them as essential business strategies rather than politically charged mandates. She explores how organisations can move beyond performative initiatives by anchoring their diversity efforts in clear objectives—be it talent, innovation, or community alignment. This conversation covers emotional and cultural intelligence, generational divides, psychological safety, and the systemic barriers to inclusion. Practical frameworks like Kelli's seven inclusive leadership traits provide a tangible pathway to fostering a thriving, human-centred workplace.

It's the future of leadership.” – Kelli Lester “Any time you don't share your thoughts, you're hurting the company.” – Kelli Lester “Just because someone's pro-Black doesn't mean they're anti-white.” – Kelli Lester Questions Asked: Why is there so much resistance to DEI in today's climate? How can leaders reframe diversity as a business enabler? What are the seven traits of inclusive leadership? How do we build psychological safety and trust across generations? What does it take to dismantle systemic bias in hiring and promotion? Take Action: Self-Audit: Reflect on your own lens—what influences how you see the world, and how does that shape your leadership? Amplify Voices: In your next meeting, actively include perspectives from quieter or less-represented team members. Define It Clearly: Have a leadership-level conversation about what diversity, equity, and inclusion means in your context and why it matters. Tip of the Week Facilitate a “Bias Interrupt” session: Identify where decisions are being made based on assumptions—hiring, promotions, even meeting invitations—and ask, “Who's missing and why?” Key Moments 00:00 Introduction and Weekly Question 00:15 Robots in Nursing Care Homes 02:07 Kickstarter Campaign for Power Games 03:48 Understanding Human Behavior and Categorization 07:27 Inclusive Leadership with Kelly Lester 08:26 Challenges and Misconceptions of DEI 28:48 America's Mythmaking and Cultural Conflicts 30:23 Polarization and Political Correctness 34:27 The Importance of Self-Awareness and Valuing Differences 37:49 Promoting Psychological Safety and Amplifying Voices 40:25 Emotional and Cultural Intelligence in Leadership 41:49 Managing Inclusively and Effective Mentoring 45:49 Fast Three Questions with Kelly 50:01 Book Recommendation: Why Are We Yelling? 51:05 Final Thoughts and Upcoming Changes
We explore the vital intersection of organisational design, leadership culture, and power dynamics with special guest Susannah Robinson, author of Beyond the Boxes and Lines. Zoë kicks off the episode with exciting updates on the Power Games Kickstarter campaign and a groundbreaking Planet Human segment on brain-computer interfaces that enable near real-time speech interpretation for paralysed individuals. Then we dive into the conversation with Susannah, who brings over 30 years of HR and organisational design experience. She shares practical frameworks for rethinking job roles, enhancing collaboration, and resolving structural friction in organisations. Together, we unpack what causes cultural breakdowns, the consequences of poorly implemented matrix structures, and why flatter hierarchies may not be the magic bullet many leaders believe they are. SHOWNOTES are here: https://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/organisational-design Planet Human: Brain implant enables a paralysed woman's thoughts to be streamed into speech https://singularityhub.com/2025/03/31/brain-implant-streams-a-paralyzed-womans-thoughts-as-if-shes-speaking-in-near-real-time Kickstarter Campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zoerouth/power-games-stop-toxic-power-in-the-workplace Key Quotes "When the person leaves the role, we finally take the lid off the pot and discover everything they were actually doing." – Susannah Robinson "Leadership today isn't just about giving direction, it's about managing your impact." – Susannah Robinson "Collaboration needs good structure. Culture is the bridge." – Zoë Routh Questions Asked What triggers the need for a redesign of organisational structures? How can job design improve retention and employee engagement? What are the common friction points in team handoffs and collaboration? How do flatter hierarchies shift leadership expectations? What structural patterns lead to power struggles and office politics? How should leaders handle stonewalling behaviour in the workplace? Take Action Audit your structure. When someone leaves, resist the urge to simply refill the role. Ask: could we do this differently? Map job design. Identify overlaps, friction points, and gaps in role clarity especially where handoffs occur. Assess your collaboration culture. Are your incentive systems and tools aligned with teamwork, or unintentionally rewarding lone wolves? Educate your teams. Use visual tools (like “five guys, one piano” teamwork analogy or org charts) to demystify structure and process. Normalise discomfort. Have the hard conversations about misalignment, underperformance, or mismatched roles with compassion and clarity. Tip of the Week Before you flatten your hierarchy or shift to team-based models, first ensure your systems (incentives, tools, contracts) are designed to support that culture. Otherwise, you're simply rearranging the dysfunction.

As the 2025 Kickstarter draws to a close (there's still time to back!) we're looking ahead at one of the major projects we have coming this year - Dawn of The Dogman. But not that, because it's not out yet! Instead Mark, Heather and Seth are talking about the some of the other Monsters of Michigan. Back the 2025 Kickstarter Campaign email Monsteropolis@smalltownmonsters.com BONUS: - Aaron's Unedited Producer Notes: Monsteropolis Monsters of Michigan WELCOME BACK KICKSTARTER is still running. Last episode before the campaign ends. To keep the excitement going we're talking about one of our upcoming projects - DAWN OF THE DOGMAN, but not THAT, because that's what the movie is, and you can't see it yet. Instead we're looking at the OTHER Monsters of Michigan. At least a few of them. There might be more. Wendigo – cannibalistic humanoid monster. Strong association with winter and extreme cold. Comes from native legends. Has gained a lot of popularity in the modern era, frequently placed alongside other cryptids, but very much its own Native legend. Comes from the Algonquin language/dialect spoken by tribes like Ojibwe, Kree and Saulteaux. You can kill a Wendigo by putting hot tallow down its throat, which melts its icy heart and kills it. Otherwise they're pretty much invincible. At least in some legends. Like a lot of native lore/older legends, as the Wendigo has become more popular it's been adapted as a storytelling motif. A lot of horror/narrative podcasts use it as the “monster of the week,” the video game Until Dawn features the Wendigo as it's primary antagonist (the special edition or secret ending bonus or whatever for that game has Chad Lewis in it talking about the Wendigo) Loup Garou - You'll have to wait for Dawn of The Dogman. Dogman and Loup Garou aren't exactly the same thing (Rougarou also) and if we wanted to we could get in the weeds and pinpoint differences between what we consider the modern “Dogman” phenomenon and the Loup Garoux vis a vis the term's roots in France but nah, we savin' that. Sasquatch - The BFRO lists 225 sightings for Michigan, and those are just the ones that made the cut. I don't really know what else to say about this. Michigan is big and cold and there's woods, so like, Bigfoot can hide there. Hey, here's a cool Class A report from the BFRO! Spring of 1999, near Copemish/Thompsonville “I was walking in the woods down a two track by Thompsonville in the early spring morning. On these early morning walks I often scare up deer and occationally a bear so when I heard the noises of something running in the woods I expected to see some such animal. Instead I saw what looked to me like a large man dressed in white running at an incredible speed. He was about 50 yards away and I tracked him for some distance. I was amazed at how he ran so fast through the dense undergrowth. He had to have long legs to be able to traverse the fallen trees and swampy areas. The next day I was walking in that same area and discovered tracks that confirmed to me it was not a man I had seen. They were quite large - about 18 inches or so. I could only see three toe prints thought there may have been more that didnt inprint and what may have been claws or long toenails that left a mark. The distance between them was about three of my strides long.” Pressie - five bucks you already know what this is. That's right baby, a WATER MONSTER, ERRBODY got a water monster these days. ERRBODY also be stealing Nessie's alliteration. What happened to originality. Just kidding, no really though I don't like this trend, kind of glad it's died off, anyway PRESSIE is, Supposed to be whale tailed and horse headed and have whiskers. Sort of sounds like a big manatee. It hangs out in Lake Superior. Lots of water there, plenty of places to hide. Very good monster place. Is Pressie a manatee? Must investigate. Probably not. It's supposed to be 75 feet long. First spotted in 1894! Wow. From there it jumps to 1977 with a few sightings in between, and conjecture over rumors of sightings in “the 1990s” Named for Presque Isle River where it has frequently been seen. Nain Rouge - bon nuit, The Red Dwarf AKA Red Man AKA Little Red Man. I did a House of Monsters on this guy. He's a favorite. Said to be a harbinger of bad luck and ill fortune Shows up before something bad happens Ya'll know Detroit be real french? City was founded by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac in the 1700s. ONE DAY this guy is on a stroll with his wife, when suddenly a TINY RED MAN jumps out of the bushes. Antoine yelled at the tiny man and hit him with his cane, after which he was CURSED. He eventually lost his fortune and died in poverty. The Nain has been blamed for a number of tragedies over the years, though whether he's supposed to be causing them or is just showing up to give people a warning seems to be a matter of interpretation. 1763 - The Battle of Bloody Run - 60 british soldiers are massacred by Native inhabitants (OH BUT OF COURSE this had nothing to do with the European settlers encroaching upon land and devastating their populations, sure, totally unprovoked, blame the nain, sorry feeling fighty today, been binging Cobra Kai) The great fire of 1805 - Massive city wide fire, destroyed nearly the entire thing. Massive loss of life and property. In the wake of the fire the city's flag was changed to include the phrase “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” which means “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” Man I get chills every time, that's inspiring. 1967 - The 12th Street Riot - one of the deadliest examples of civil unrest in the United States at that time. Precipitated by a number of onerous conditions, such as racial segregation and over-policing, the riot would result in 43 deaths, nearly 1200 injuries and over 700 arrests. It went on for five days. 1976 - a huge blizzard knocked out and crippled much of the city's infrastructure And other tragic events throughout the years. The city would eventually embrace the Nain as a local symbol, holding an annual parade where they chase the Nain out of the city to usher out the bad luck. Fun fact, there's an OLDER story about Napoleon taking advice from a Little Red Man who advised him on battle tactics. He only lost when he didn't listen. He's supposed to have met the guy in an ancient egyptian tomb before declaring himself Emperor of France. PRODUCER'S NOTE - I'm very much of the opinion that the Nain Rouge is a direct folkloric descendent of Napoleon's little red man, not literally but like, there's clearly a lineage there. Giant Green Squirrel of Amble: “It is literally just a very large, green squirrel.” - Reddit Okay so. I guess this is a squirrel the size of a cow or a small car. It makes a lot of loud chirping and squeaking noises, and it's also green There, uh... There doesn't seem to be a lot more to this. Or anything else. I like it though, let's make a movie about it. https://99wfmk.com/monster-squirrel-amble/ Okay also though, there are apparently giant squirrel legends present in some native cultures in Nova Scotia (The Micmac Tribe) - some researchers believe these were derived from stories about giant ground sloths, which were (are?) a thing. So there is some background to this one. No idea if theres a direct link to the Michigan one. There are OTHER weird Michigan monsters, but because the movie doesn't come out for a bit we're gonna save ‘em. Thank you for listening, and be sure to go back the Kickstarter RIGHT NAAAOOO - Link in the show notes. There are only four days left (counting today at time of air), and then a brief window for late backing with much higher rates due to kickstarter specific policies beyond our control.
