Podcast appearances and mentions of laura nix

It really really is....On this episode we've got a special one with a documentary that dives into the cold realities of what's going on political with our neighbours to the south.  It's time for 'Democracy Under Siege'.It's the story of Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes as her sharp wit and insightful art come under fire as she examine the challenges confronting US democracy ahead of the 2024 presidential election.It's a film still looking for distribution south of the border, but 'Democracy Under Siege' is an incredibly relevant documentary as it really tries to encourage discussion about how the American democracy truly is under siege as attacks on satirists, cartoonist and others expressing opinions in contradiction to an increasingly authoritarian government are become more and more obvious by the day.We talked with Director Laura Nix about the origins of the film, the struggles to get it in seen in the current media landscape and almost a plea to not give up on America as it struggles through these issues.'Democracy Under Siege' is playing the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema here in Toronto on May 17th and 30th with a digital release soon to follow.

In this ScreenFish 1on1 Interview, director Laura Nix discusses DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE, exploring whether the Constitution can be “updated” to address contemporary challenges. She reflects on how the Trump administration has shaped political discourse and the evolving tensions between parties. Laura also examines the current state of truth in public life, analyzing how misinformation and polarization impact democracy. The conversation highlights the film's exploration of civic responsibility, governance, and the fragility of democratic institutions in modern society.DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE is playing at Hot Docs in Toronto on May 17th & 30th, 2026.

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Laura Nix Gerson, CEO and co-founder of NixGerson Media and host of the VentureF podcast, where she champions women investing in women. Laura's journey from military kid moving across the globe every three years to becoming a pioneer in building communities for women investors is a masterclass in turning connection into catalyst.   In this rich conversation, Laura shares her formative years growing up in a military family, living everywhere from Korea to Iran to Germany, and how those constant moves taught her the art of building relationships and creating anchor points in times of change. She reveals the profound impact of her father's Sunday afternoon budget meetings—complete with handmade grids before spreadsheets existed—showing her the importance of allocating dollars across buckets including charity and savings.   Laura takes us through her fascinating career evolution: from launching her first nonprofit arts festival in college, to running prestigious art galleries (where she witnessed Elton John casually point at ten pieces of art without asking prices), to becoming one of LA's first "mommy bloggers," to ultimately founding VentureF. Along the way, she discovered a critical gap: brilliant women founders solving real problems but unable to access capital from predominantly male investors who couldn't understand why European baby formula or perinatal nutrition mattered.   Most powerfully, Laura discusses why she created VentureF as an aggregation point for women seeking to invest in other women—offering guides, glossaries, and curated communities to help accredited investors (many who don't even realize they qualify) deploy capital aligned with their values. With 66% of wealth transferring to women in the next decade, Laura is ensuring we're prepared to invest it wisely and meaningfully.   This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in building wealth through community, understanding alternative investments, or learning how to leverage relationships as your greatest asset. Key Topics: How constant change can become your superpower for building meaningful relationships The power of budget allocation: why dividing your money into buckets (including charity) sets you up for success Why building community and connection has been the through-line of every successful career pivot The hidden barrier to female founders: solving real problems that male investors don't understand or value What the great wealth transfer means for you: how to prepare for when 66% of wealth is in women's hands Where to start as an investor: finding resources, education, and deal flow without feeling overwhelmed How to have productive money conversations with your partner and raise financially literate kids The shift from investing for returns to investing with values: using your capital to create change   Connect with Laura online: Website: https://lauranixgerson.com/ https://www.nixgersonmedia.com/ Podcast: https://www.venturef.com/ VentureF Podcast (available on all platforms) The Foundry: Apply at venturef.co to join this invitation-only community for women investors   Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: wealthcatalyst.com Podcast: wealthcatalyst.com/getting-rich-together-podcast Download Syama's Free Resources: wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

As an immigrant and refugee the last thing on your mind would likely be anything creative and playful. For Chinese-Vietnamese immigrants Paul and Millie Cao, this was their story until a few years ago. The documentary short Walk Run Cha Cha explores their story of fleeing Vietnam and how they are reinventing themselves now through ballroom dance. In this episode, I spoke with Laura Nix, the Oscar-nominated director of Walk Run Cha Cha about her process in creating the film and the themes she explored around dance, immigration and reinvention in middle-age.  We talked about how creating the film changed Laura as a person and filmmaker, the motivation behind a creative pursuit, why the freedom to be playful and creative is not a given for everyone and the reality of a career in the arts. I also talked about how Paul and Mille's story relates to my parents' story of being immigrants and refugees. Follow @therecesslife and subscribe to the newsletter at louisepanwo.com/subscribe

Many people think of Islam, or religion generally, as disempowering for girls and women. The Light in Her Eyes, a documentary by Laura Nix and Julia Meltzer, challenges that notion. It follows Houda al-Habash, a conservative Muslim, wife, mother, preacher, and founder of a girls’ religious school in Damascus. In observing al-Habash, her children, students, and colleagues at school, at home, in shopping malls, and at outdoor cafés, the film explores how modernity and Muslim faith co-exist, challenging many Western assumptions that such co-existence is a fallacy. Meltzer and Nix join Vox Tablet host Sara Ivry to talk about the difficulties they had filming as American women—one Jewish, one Christian—in Syria and about their audiences’ reactions to the seemingly contradictory values and aspirations expressed by al-Habash and her students. The Light in Her Eyes airs on the PBS series “POV” on July 19, 2012, and... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
