Daggy Lacey's life reads like a Hollywood script, yet her remarkable journey from refugee to tech pioneer is 100% real. In this captivating conversation, Daggy shares how fleeing Latvia as a one-year-old set her on an unexpected path toward breaking unimaginable barriers in the technology industry.With disarming candor, Daggy reveals how she became the first female programmer at Burroughs Corporation based on a $25 monthly salary difference—a decision that led to a series of glass-ceiling-shattering achievements. She recalls the moment when her boss confessed they'd never hired a female programmer before, explaining the battery of special tests she had to pass simply because of her gender.The stories flow like chapters in an adventure novel: being blocked from presenting in Japan because "women cannot address business meetings" only to have executives later fly to meet her; founding her own technology company in 1991 that employed remote workers before the World Wide Web existed; and her unforgettable boardroom showdown with a notoriously difficult chairman where her boldness carried the day.Most compelling is Daggy's definition of boldness itself—speaking out for your cause, refusing to back down when challenged, and maintaining unwavering belief in your solution. At 81, still running her international technology company, she delivers a powerful message for women considering careers in tech: "Don't be afraid. You can do anything you want if you commit yourself to it."What truly makes Daggie's story shine is hearing how her leadership transformed careers. After publishing her book "The Wall Falls, a Woman Rises," former employees reached out to share how working with her 35 years ago changed their lives—a testament to the lasting impact of authentic, bold leadership.Ready for a dose of inspiration and practical wisdom from a true pioneer? This episode delivers exactly that.

Der Verein Grundgesetz Verstehen e.V. besteht aus über 50 Mitgliedern und war bisher an 16 Schulen und hat mit 30 Klassen in 6 Bundesländern das Grundgesetz und seine Inhalte besprochen. Meine heutigen Gäste sind Lukas Schlegel und Victoria Lacis und wir haben uns diesem wichtigen Thema ausführlich gewidmet – denn was die Grundpfeiler unserer Demokratie sind, wie Demokratie überhaupt funktioniert und welche Rechte, aber auch welche Pflichten sie mit sich bringt, das wird an Schulen in Deutschland bisher leider nicht ausreichend vermittelt.   Disclaimer: Leider gab es bei meinen Gästen ein paar technische Probleme, weshalb die Klangqualität in dieser Episode etwas gelitten hat. Wir bitten, das zu entschuldigen und versprechen ein wieder wie gewohnt einwandfreies Hörerlebnis in der nächsten Episode.

1923 steuert die Inflation in Deutschland auf ihren ebenso irrsinnigen wie traurigen Höhepunkt zu. Walter Benjamin - selbst betroffen - beginnt in diesem Jahr die Arbeit an seinem später "Kaiserpanorama" betitelten Text, indem er die zerstörerischen Auswirkungen auf die Menschen beschreibt. Ein Jahr später verhilft ihm die unverhoffte Begegnung mit der Lettin Asja Lacis zu einer "vitalen Befreiung", die sich auf seine weitere literarische Tätigkeit auswirken sollte. In der heutigen Episode sprechen wir über dieses Zusammentreffen, seine Folgen und die Frage, was es eigentlich mit dem "Kaiserpanorama" auf sich hat. Besuche die Lesedusche, um Auszüge aus dem "Kaiserpanorama" und Walter Benjamins "Moskauer Tagebuch" zu hören: https://lesedusche.de/fe/schaufenster

Asja Lacis (1891 - 1979) foi uma atriz e diretora de teatro de vanguarda. Apoiou a revolução bolchevique de 1917 e passou 10 anos presa em campos de concentração na Sibéria.

Teresa Storch is an international live performer of joyful strength and riveting, emotional power. Her soulful-Americana songwriting balances on the fence between folk and jazz, drawing comparisons to Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, and Shawn Colvin. She's joined by her emotional support guitarist, multi-instrumentalist Peter Lacis, who's toured nationally with Silva, Johnny & the Mongrels and Barbuda. Dave sat down with Teresa and Peter to talk about how they normally write songs and how that compared to taking the Raw Songwriting Challenge.

A bustier is an alluring garment, one many women would like to wear - if they dare. When I began to notice that women of all shapes, sizes and ages sewed and wore their bustiers with pleasure and pride, I decided to take a chance and learn to sew this very structured garment, that can be designed to flatter a wide variety of figure types. Last month I talked about Cut and Cloth This month I focus on Construction

Sunday, April 19, 2009 Sunshine Makes me Happy!! Yeah for the first campfire of the season I finished Luna Regina after several months...almost a full year of work..primarily because I had a short attention span. The cats helped block it to make sure I did ok; that's Lucky. I bought the blocking wires from KnitPicks http://www.knitpicks.com/Knitting.cfm. They also had a nice tutorial I just checked out to see. Common sense really but a nice resource. They were really fast at sending it out as well!
