Storytime With Managers is a collection of twenty minute conversations where Jennifer Tu finds answers to questions of interest to both established and budding leaders in technology fields. Ever heard these sentiments in your workplace? "That was so unprofessional!" "Why are they being so rude?" "Don't they care about ___?" Different default assumptions around communications can lead to painful miscommunications and hurt feelings. "Ask and Offer Culture" (or as Ask-ers like to call it, "Guess culture") is one way to describe these differences. KWu (@kwugirl on Twitter) is a regular speaker on the topic, and shares her extensive knowledge in Episode 28.

The NAIA has grown considerably over the past decade. The college wrestling opportunities in Kansas have also grown during that span. This is why the announcement that came from Kansas Wesleyan University on May 14 was a stunner to many - the school was dropping wrestling after only four seasons. On Episode 508 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, KWU head coach Jason Schweer, who'd been on the job less than one year, explains some of what the issues were, why the team struggled with numbers and how the school struggled with stability with three coaches in the first four years of the squad. What's next for Schweer? Is there any chance to bring back a program that was dropped as a result of a school-wide budget issue? Was the staff given what it needed to be able to recruit and compete?

Parent Driven Development Episode 022: Single Parenting 00:46 Single parenting is becoming more common... ... but events can feel ostracizing. Logistics are hard to navigate.

I found bags for the leaves. YES! It took about two and a half hours to clear the yard, but at least I got it all done before the rains came. I would litter this episode with lyrics inspired by Annie Lennox, but that’d be painful for you, just like walking on broken glass. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly unfunny podcast that recaps the day’s happenings in college wrestling. I’m your host Jason Bryant, and I have many leatherbound books and I do this kind of stuff for a living. Seriously. At the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open, here are the notables out there, but there are no more I love yous. Wisconsin’s Tristan Moran topped Northern Iowa’s Josh Alber in the finals by picking up a second-period fall at 141 pounds. At 149 pounds, Missouri’s Brock Mauller, who probably has THE wrestling name of the year, picked up a 12-6 win in the finals over Iowa State’s Jarrett Degan. Mauller beat Wisconsin’s Cole Martin to reach the finals. At 165 pounds, Evan Wick of Wisconsin beat Northern Iowa’s Bryce Steiert 3-2 in the finals in a matchup of All-Americans. UNI did see All-American Drew Foster major Iowa State’s Sam Colbray 14-0 in the finals at 184. New Cyclone Willie Miklus was solid with two falls on his way to a 5-2 finals victory over NAIA national champion Evan Hansen of Grand View in the finals at 197. Clarion Open Not a whole lot going on up at Clarion in terms of star-power, but notable performances were, well, notable. Eastern Michigan transfer Armando Torres captured the crown for Cleveland State at 133 pounds, beating Bloomsburg’s Lewis Williams 3-2 in the final. At 184, Michael Beard, who’s not on a roster this season but is bound for Penn State, topped NCAA qualifier Greg Bulsak of Clarion 13-9 in the finals. What’s also interesting is after building a 13-2 lead midway through the second period, Beard got hit four times for stalling and gave up nearfall late. What’s also interesting is since Beard isn’t on a college roster, his wins and losses don’t count. Nuance of an NCAA rules regarding official records say you have to be enrolled for results to count, even in opens. So all those guys losing to Aaron Brooks don’t have to worry about their record either. Speaking of Aaron Brooks … Heavyweight was an interesting weight as Pittsburgh’s Demetrius Thomas topped Division III national champion Jake Evans 14-4 in the semifinals on his way to the championship. Thomas was an NAIA national champion at Williams Baptist as a freshman and was second last year before transferring to Pittsburgh. He had to beat Seth Nevills, an unrostered soon-to-be Nittany Lion 9-7 in the second round. Cowboy Open Wyoming had a bunch of guys win, no biggie there. Junior world silver medalist and Penn State bound Aaron Brooks won at 184 pounds. He’s spending this year at the OTC. While it’s impressive for a kid like Brooks to come in and win a college open, let’s not get too carried away about his competition. He’s a blue-chip, can’t miss recruit, so beating a pair of Division II guys and an Air Force guy who hasn’t been their full-time starter yet shouldn’t be cause for alarm. He’s going to be good on the next level and his scores were impressive, but I wouldn’t consider this a huge test for him just yet. Michigan State Open Michigan State’s RayVon Foley was very solid in earning the title at 125, beating Central Michigan’s Drew Hildebrandt in the semifinals and majoring Michigan’s Drew Mattin 12-3 in the finals. Kanen Storr beat teammates in back-to-back rounds to pick up a title for Michigan at 141 pounds, while Penn freshman Anthony Artalona won the title at 149. Michigan’s got a real nice situation at 157 where true freshman Will Lewan topped All-American and teammate Alec Pantaleo 10-8 in the finals there. Lewan already stole a match in the wrestle-offs from Pantaleo, but let’s just be clear, there’s no way Lewan is starting this year unless something bad happens to Pantaleo. But man, that’s just impressive. Speaking of impressive, Darden Schurg, a Division III All-American from Wabash, came away as the champion at 174 pounds and he did it pretty impressively. After beating returning Division III champion Jairod James of Mount Union in the quarters, Schurg teched Oklahoma’s Anthony Mantanona before beating Northern Illinois’ Brit Wilson in the finals. Wilson had beaten Michigan State’s Drew Hughes in the semis, so - cliché warning - Schurg is ready to wrestle this year. And Wabash? They’re the LITTLE GIANTS! At heavyweight, Mason Parris pinned Central Michigan’s Matt Stencel in 14 seconds to win the title at heavyweight. Bruh. Here comes the rain again? More like here comes the PAIN again. Ithaca Invitational in Division III Returning NCAA Division III champion Ben Brisman of Ithaca won five bouts en route to the title at 141 pounds. Brisman topped Castleton’s Max Tempel 10-3 in the finals. At 184, a pair of All-Americans tangled as Ithaca’s Jake Ashcraft and Western New England’s John Boyle got reacquainted. Last year at the D3 championships, Ashcraft majored Boyle 12-2 in the third-place match. This time it was a 4-0 win for Ashcraft. Ithaca won the team championship with 167 points and four champions. You know what else is cool? Seeing a school win its first tournament title in nearly 40 years. That’s exactly what happened as Gettysburg crowned four individual champions to win the Messiah Invitational over host Messiah 110.5-97. Also of note, Andy Vogel, the head coach of Gettysburg and the man behind D3wrestle.com, is a Messiah alum. Champions for the Bullets, YES THE BULLETS, and not the crappy kind like the old Washington Bullets, were Robert Garnett at 141, Colin Devlin at 149, Colin Kowalski at 174 and Paul Triandafilou at heavyweight. That last name is easy for me - why? If I can say the Mongolians without an issue, Triandafilou is a walk in the park! York College, the one in Pennsylvania, won the Ned McGinley Monarch Invitational held at King’s College in Pennsylvania. They’ve got that Spartan Spirit as Sparty Gang Green won four individual titles for coach Duane Bastress. On to the dual meets! No. 2 Ohio State returned to the state of Maryland to take on Navy. The end result was a 28-9 win for the Buckeyes in a dual where Navy battled hard for most of the matches, but faded at the end of several bouts. Myles Martin’s a New Jersey native, but went to high school at McDonogh School, where the dual was held. Martin looked solid, picking up one of two technical falls on the night - the other came at 149 pounds by Micah Jordan. Joey McKenna needed a pair of escapes and a riding time point to get past Navy’s Nic Gil 3-2 at 141 pounds. McKenna was fresh off the plane after competing in Friday’s All-Star Classic in Denver. No. 7 Missouri blasted No. 15 Illinois 30-8 in the Grapple at the Grove, an outdoor event prior to the Illinois football game in Champaign. All-American Jaydin Eierman got past Mikey Carr 12-10 at 141 pounds, while true freshman Jake Elam, fresh off his silver medal performance at the Junior Worlds, beat Deuce Rachal 10-4 at 285 pounds. Illinois did have one bright spot as transfer Joey Gunther knocked off Mizzou’s Connor Flynn 4-1 at 165 pounds. No. 16 Rutgers cruised in three wins at the RAC in front of over 4,200 fans. The Scarlet Knight faithful saw the return of Anthony Ashnault to the lineup. The three-time All-American pinned all three of his opponents on the day, including returning NCAA qualifier Khristian Olivas of Fresno State. As far as the duals went, Rutgers beat Fresno State 30-6 and pounded Division III schools Johnson & Wales 38-5 and Centenary 48-3. Yes, Nick Suriano wrestled at 133 and yes, that’s where he WILL stay this year. If anyone tells you he might be going down at some point this year, that isn’t happening, folks. Trust me. In Division III, Washington & Lee got an overtime victory at 285 pounds by freshman Clay Chadwick to upend No. 11 Ferrum 20-15. Having grown up in Virginia and been aware of the Generals program for over 20 years, this is the biggest win I can remember in the program’s history. Congrats to Nate Shearer and crew in Lexington. Thomas More, yes, the Saints and we’re not talking about Val Kilmer here, picked up a 35-9 win over Kentucky Wesleyan on Saturday. Can we talk about Elisabeth Shue, though? Seriously though, the match was the first dual in Kentucky Wesleyan history. Who got the school’s first wins? LaMont Wilson, Caleb Craig and Daniel Lopez did the honors for KWU.

Parent Driven Development Episode 013: Babies at Work?! 00:15 Welcome, Leah Silber! (https://twitter.com/wifelette) Leah is the CEO of Tilde Inc. (https://www.tilde.io/) She is also an organizer of EmberConf (https://emberconf.com/), RustConf (https://rustconf.com/) and RailsConf (https://railsconf.com/), and Ember.js Core Team (https://www.emberjs.com/team/) Member, a jQuery Core Team (https://jquery.org/team/) alum, author of Event Driven: How to Run Memorable Tech Conferences (https://leanpub.com/eventdriven/), and all around technophile. 01:08 KWu is Planning Her Son's 1st Birthday Party! + How Old Are They? Don't let first birthday parties get out of hand. Not worth it. Get a cake. Let the kid smash. Also, please stop referring to your child's age in months when they turn 2. 04:05 Babies at Work: It’s Weird that it’s Weird (https://hackernoon.com/babies-at-work-its-weird-that-it-s-weird-b285b070d456) In August 2017, Leah wrote this blog post and it was super well received. In the blog post, she talks about a lot of the objections and concern she had at first that turned out to be unfounded. It turns out, bringing her baby to work changed the mood and culture of Tilde in a positive way -- even among self-proclaimed "non-baby people". 09:26 What About The Fussy Days? Working from home can be an option especially on days like vaccination days. Having a quiet area like a conference room or an empty office gets people through short fussy spells. If that doesn't work, going home is encouraged. Leah says that having the babies at work made actually for a much happier baby! 17:56 Nursing Up to the mom! Breastfeeding in public is acceptable, and there are dedicated nursing rooms/spaces to keep it legal (and more private) It becomes normalized! People don't even notice Squatty Potty (https://www.squattypotty.com/) 23:53 Culture From The Core Stating expectations for parents/non-parents during the interview process Scaling as children age Bring the Nanny to work too! Older children must be up to date on vaccinations Becomes a routine 32:43 Does Company Size Matter? Just because there are 50 people in a company does not mean that the volume of babies is going to go up Setting a limit is an option: luck of the draw The bigger the company, the more space non-baby people have to stay away from the babies 35:02 Program Evolution Effects on Nannies Beneficial for dads too! 42:37 Avoiding Judgement Turns out, people (who aren't the child's parents) are more helpful than judgemental Pets are not babies...no, your dog can not come to work because my baby is here 48:31 Genius / Fail Moments KWu: Water coming out of the tub faucet is fascinating and acts as a baby magnet to draw them to the bathroom for a bath! (#Genius) Allison: Creating an insane schedule of hodgepodge childcare that involves massive amounts of logistics. (#Fail) Leah: Shoutout to the parents who think their kids will never walk.

Parent Driven Development Episode 009: Planning Childcare at Conferences 00:25 We're joined by Abby Phoenix (https://twitter.com/aphoenix) today 01:00 When did childcare at Ruby Central events start? started in 2015 and have now been at 6 conferences The intention is to always have childcare at RailsConf (https://railsconf.com/) and RubyConf (https://rubyconf.org/) 03:37 Where to start when you want to have childcare at your conference Treat it as any other vendor Go to the conference venue and ask for recommendations Ask for recommendations from the hotel, local user groups, etc. 6:10 Smaller conferences Smaller conferences are a little more difficult but also easier because if it's in the same location every year you can use the same provider year after year 7:30 Very important that childcare is based in the city of the conference They know how to get around They have alternative options They are on time They have the equipment they need 9:10 How many people use childcare at conferences? Typically 5-7 kids Usually younger children especially since RubyConf and RailsConf are during the school year so most older children are in school Always a question of whether or not a parent can make it work because bringing a child to a conference can be challenging 13:45 Lactation room is also offered Visibility is very important It is important that it is known in the community that childcare and lactation rooms are available at these conferences What to call the lactation room? How it works at a conference to make sure you don't get walking in on and to make sure it is easy The lactation room has outlets and a fridge. 20:20 We tangent about all the things we can't wait to forget as parents Diapers Wiping bums and more 21:30 Lactation rooms are really easy to put in place as a conference organizer 22:20 What have been the biggest challenges of providing childcare at a conference? There were things we did not know to ask when we started and so now we have a list which is helpful Abby goes in to which questions they have started to ask 26:00 What do you wish you could provide? Evening childcare so parents can do things. They will try to work with childcare providers to offer after-hours care but can't provide it themselves 31:00 Childcare is often tailored to 1-5 year olds Most of the participants are younger 32:00 Mandy talks about what you can do with an older child at a conference Is it worth it to bring an older child to a conference? What conferences have a "kids track"? How to engage older kids at conferences? The childcare provider will often tailor childcare towards the age range of the children there 39:30 What are the costs involved for organizers and participants Participants are not charged for using childcare Discussion about costs in different cities 44:00 Genius / Fail moments Allison - My daughter has had a rough few weeks and loves being bounced on a ball but it's tiring for me and hurts my back, so I put her on the ball, tummy down, bounced her, and it calmed her down and she got gas out #Genius Andy - After a difficult day, my daughter wrote "I love you daddy, even when you're grumpy" #Genius? or #Fail? Mandy - My daughter got the principals award for having a positive attitude, was responsible, did homework, and more. I was very proud! #Genius KWu - I'm on call for the week and so I set up a daybed in the office and negotiated with my husband that after the wake-ups, I would go to the office and turn off the monitor and be off duty for a few hours #Genius Abby - My daughters are very picky eaters. My youngest will eat waffles that she'll eat for breakfast. Recently she brought one over to me and said, "mommy I really like these. I like that there is candy inside" #Fail With my oldest, I asked her to describe her perfect meal and I thought she'd talk about candy or ice cream but she said "My perfect meal is a cheese plate" and so from then on every night has been a cheese plate for dinner, which to her means little bits of a variety of food #Genius 54:00 RubyConf is coming!

Parent Driven Development Episode 008: Remote working with kids 00:37 Who all works remotely? 02:30 Working remotely with kids at home Lifestyle choice Nursing and alternate schedules Spouses working from home as well 06:00 Working remotely before and after having a child The difference between working from home with a spouse also working from home vs. not Hard starts and stops to your day 10:00 JC forgets pickup 11:00 Dealing with interruptions This classic example (https://youtu.be/Mh4f9AYRCZY) Interruptions from your spouse vs. the kid(s) 15:00 Allison joins 15:45 Do companies who accept remote work also do better at understanding flexible schedules and work/life balance? Tyranny of the green dot on Slack What are the expectations of being remote? Do we feel guilty about doing "life" or kid stuff during the work day? 19:53 Being a remote worker vs. being on a distributed team Understanding working hours Helping colleagues be more purposeful about working hours and communication 23:00 Shared calendars and communicating hours to your team slack notifications and snoozing google calendar work hours basecamp Tools 24:00 Based on Cate's blog post (https://cate.blog/2016/12/29/figuring-out-remote-work-is-figuring-out-work/) Going in to an office established a lot of defaults for a team and working remotely it helps to be more explicit 25:30 Being in the office is nice because you get to talk to other adults. How do you deal with isolation? Going to stores Being in the coffee shop Parenting groups and daycares Playdates with other kids The difficulty of coworking and coffee shop working while pumping Leads to great isolation which is pretty difficult Rant about when people tell you to be social while pumping (spoiler: it's not that easy!!) 31:00 Being home instead of going out as a matter of priorities What do you want to have time for? 33:00 Listener Question!! Our first!! It is so exciting!!! When is the right time to introduce screens to your child and how did you do it? Allison introduced games first, mostly on flights. When Allison introduced tv shows, she tried to make it educational like Daniel Tiger (http://pbskids.org/daniel/), PBS shows (http://pbskids.org/), etc. Talking to your child about what they watched and what they learned KWu thinks what screen time and for what purpose. And introduce something, see the effect and make changes from there. JC said as you have more kids, it's harder to control media and screen time. Having structure around things is very important. Josh remembers lots of research but can't remember when they introduced screens Andy says do it collectively and sparingly KWu says that technology and watching things can be used as bonding time and can focus on artistic or creative endeavors as opposed to isolating JC talks about use of imagination using programs like minecraft (https://minecraft.net/en-us/). 45:00 Genius / Fail moments JC - my daughter has been playing softball and she looked at pictures of herself batting and fixed an issue! She was resilient and didn't get discouraged. #Genius Allison - Everything is a genius and fail right now. My son's preschool teacher told me that he's doing fantastic #Genius Josh - my daughter has guinea pigs named Ana and Elsa and one of them fell which led to a visit to the vet. There they found out Ana and Elsa are male which led to a great discussion about gender and what gender means. #Genius KWu - Marriage win! We started watching the Americans together and it is so nice to be doing something together and have something not household related to talk about. #Genius Andy - After a difficult day, my daughter wrote "I love you daddy, even when you're grumpy" #Genius? or #Fail? 53:00 Contact Us!

00:32 Meet our guest Jonathan Wallace He is a mentor, speaker, organizer, developer and open source contributor. Married with three kids and a dog. He's also been a Georgia state legislator since January. 01:07 Net neutrality We start off talking about net neutrality and how it affects our children. How the repeal affects who regulates the infrastructure companies. How does it affect the internet content builders, how might it affect free speech, and how the internet is becoming the civic square. Are rules being put in place ahead of time or coming up and cleaning up after? 6:04 States are stepping in What effect does having states stepping up to manage net neutrality have on the internet? Is zero rating an unfair practice? How about throttling? QoS is also a useful tool but at what level is it fair? Playing favorites can benefit consumers in some instances, but it could be detrimental to competition and innovation. Monopolistic practices can come into consideration. We don't see the choice of ISPs we would like to see throughout the country. Rural areas in particular are underserved. We've had instances where zero rating has come into play. Everything is online. Government services are online and people need to have adequate access to the internet to function in society. 13:36 Nuances in the discussion over net neutrality What are some of the nuances we miss regarding the net neutrality discussion when we view it from a distance? Jonathan talks about some of the insights he has about this. Telecom providers were required to lease space to other providers. Multiple ISPs provided DSL but used the same telecom in the background. New technologies can leapfrog existing technologies that have regulatory constraints. Providers may not be able to prioritize service in areas where it is not profitable due to too much regulation. 17:37 Bringing technological expertise to the legislature Jonathan speaks about how his experience in technology has helped his approach as a legislator. There are so many aspects of law to cover that he points out how he brings his expertise in tech but also ignorance in other areas. Legislators are either rich, retired or broke. There are a lot of retired people in legislation, but there are few that have a tech background. He's been learning what the process and tradition are as a legislator. There are many layers of abstraction and nuance in the legislative process. 20:16 Net Neutrality and basic human rights The discussion shifts to speaking about net neutrality and how it relates to basic human rights. Free speech is important to be preserved in this new public square. The concentration of power can be abused by the few. It's important to have rules in place to ensure freedom of communication in these private networks. We can't control the passage of time, but we can control where we are paying attention. 25:16 Managing it all Jonathan is involved in technology and now in the public sphere, so how is he managing all this along with his family? There is a zero sum game when it comes to time available. His son was ready to start advocating for his opponents so he might be home more. With the blessing and support of his family, Jonathan's been able to make significant changes and sacrifices to be able to serve. It's a part-time job wth full-time obligations. 29:48 Jonathan's approach to children and technology How has Jonathan introduced technology into his children's lives? Jonathan considers it his moment of shame. He's been able to introduce some education games and shown them some programming with Scratch. He sees himself more of a facilitator and a support for his children. 32:55 Genius / Fail moments Johnny Rae - Still no cable. Their streaming device crashed and it did not get replaced and the kids were fine. #Genius Josh - Nightly family routine watching a "Just add magic" episode and discussing it with their daughter. #Genius KWu - Has been introducing solids to her 6.5 month baby, specifically avocados. Since baby will only eat a bit and not wanting the avocado to go bad, KWu has been eating the rest of it. #Genius JC - Won the tie tying competition at the daddy/daughter dance with his 3rd grader. Took home a giant heart-shaped mylar balloon. #Genius Jonathan - Both a Fail and a Genius moment. * Did not manage his child's anxiety properly knowing he'd be gone during the week and got impatient. #Fail * Uses Dragonbox (https://dragonbox.com/) to teach the concepts of algebra to his kids in a sneaky way. #Genius 40:12 Where's Jonathan?
