Podcasts about Looking Out

It is the 200th episode of The Imprint Weekly Podcast! On this week's episode we go through some fun facts about the first 199 episodes of the show, and then talk to Cheyanne Deopersaud about the virtual mayoral forum on youth issues she organized and will host this week (free registration info in the show notes). We discuss the many things going on in Washington, D.C., including a nominee to lead child welfare policy for the Trump administration; layoffs and reorganization of the agency he will likely lead; and new data on how much states rely on welfare funds to pay for child welfare services. We also discuss the end of the criminal case against a foster youth advocate arrested on Capitol Hill in December, and a few recent great reads from The Imprint. Thanks to SpeakWrite for sponsoring this week's episode.Reading RoomYouth in Focus: NYC Mayoral Candidate ForumThursday, April 17 5pm EST // Register: https://bit.ly/4ifDgqWFoster Youth Deserve Better Than Unsafe, Scary Housinghttps://imprintnews.org/youth-voice/foster-youth-deserve-better-than-unsafe-scary-housing/255986Alex Adams Nominated to Lead Administration for Children and Familieshttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/alex-adams-nominated-to-lead-administration-for-children-and-families/259907Zero-Based Regulation A Step-by-Step Guide for Stateshttps://manhattan.institute/article/zero-based-regulation-a-step-by-step-guide-for-statesHHS Reorganization Brings Cuts, Changes to Child Welfare Divisionhttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/hhs-reorganization-brings-cuts-changes-to-child-welfare-division/260150States Use Billions in Welfare Funds to Pay for Child Welfare Systems, Report Findshttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/states-use-billions-in-welfare-funds-to-pay-for-child-welfare-systems-report-finds/260389Trump Halts, then Reinstates, Then Again Halts Legal Counsel for Unaccompanied Minors Seeking Asylumhttps://imprintnews.org/youth-services-insider/trump-halts-legal-counsel-for-unaccompanied-minors-seeking-asylum/259021Prosecutors Withdraw Rep.

Join the Deep-dive team as they discuss Towards an Institutional or Apostolic Vision by Alejandro Rodríguez, a long-time member of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) since 1989. The book is addressed to fellow "warriors" in YWAM, encouraging them to reflect on the organization's vision and remove practices that are commonplace in ministry but do not align with God's expectations.Become a paid subscriber to The Kingdom Reformation leader's community and download the book for free! Sign up at https://kingdomreformation.org The book argues that YWAM is best understood not as a Christian organization but as an "apostolic mission.". This distinction is important because it impacts how the organization and its members see themselves. Rodríguez warns against falling into a "Para-church" mentality, where YWAMers view themselves as separate from or superior to the local church. Instead, YWAM should be "part of something greater" -- namely, the global church.An apostolic vision, according to the sources, has several key characteristics:It involves recognizing that God has already been at work and that YWAM has "a glorious inheritance" to build on and pass on to future generations It requires seeing YWAM as a family, not just a hotel where people come and go as they please It prioritizes discipleship, which is "a lifestyle," not just a six-month or one-year programIt calls for "passing on a legacy," not just delegating tasksIt means impacting society beyond just church activities, striving to be "relevant in society"It involves dependence on God, not moneyOne of the biggest threats to this apostolic vision is the tendency to become "institutionalized". Rodríguez draws contrasts between an institutional and an apostolic approach to various aspects of YWAM life and ministry:Institutional vs. ApostolicChristian Organization vs. Apostolic Mission [4]Looking Out for One's Own Ministry vs. Being Part of Something Greater [7]Bases vs. Missionary Communities [17]Leaders vs. Pastors/Spiritual Parents [18]Training vs. Discipleship [19]Staff Members vs. Servants of God [20]Pastoral Care vs. Pastoral Life [21]Delegating a Task vs. Passing on a Legacy [22]Students vs. Disciples [23]Institutional Presence vs. A Mission that is Relevant in Society [14]Ministerial Activities vs. A Vision to Follow [24]Bound to Money vs. Depending on God [16]Rodríguez uses numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points. These range from personal experiences in YWAM Argentina to biblical stories. Notably, he emphasizes the role of families in YWAM, highlighting the challenges and opportunities they face [25, 26]. He also stresses the importance of recognizing "openings, opportunities, and urgency" in missions [27]. By responding to these, YWAM can truly make a difference in society and be part of God's work of transforming nations.The sources conclude with a call to action, urging YWAMers to reflect on what they have read and to allow the Holy Spirit to renew their lives and ministries [28]. Rodríguez encourages...

Joe and Drew aren't short of opinions. While the boys might be sometimes (often?) wrong, at the very least, an opinion gives us something to discuss, something to weigh the merits of. In this episode of Looking Out, they sincerely wish the automotive industry would have some stronger opinions of its own.Topics covered include the relaunch of Scout by Volkswagen, the Paris Motorshow, Renault's emerging range of retro EVs, the 5, the 4, and the upcoming Twingo, and the Zeekr Mix.That's it for this episode!

This week, my guest is bee expert Kevin Hancock. Kevin has invented a honeybee nest box that's the only self-regulating honey harvesting system in the world, meaning the bees will dictate how much honey you can take dependent on the environment that year. It's a way of hosting rather than keeping bees and is an intriguing system.   About the Eco Beehive    “ECO BEEHIVE is the only SELF REGULATING HONEY HARVESTING SYSTEM IN THE WORLD!     Wow that is so exciting!! But it is !! no really.. give me a chance and I'll explain.   I am on a mission to strengthen the honeybee network across Europe!!  You are automatically involved.   First. What is strengthening the honeybees network?  Honeybees don't live in isolation. They are all interconnected though a network of colonies. No beekeeper is in isolation. Whatever they do impacts on the greater network around them.   OK so why? To get more colony's in the environment. Not apiaries. More hives spread out creates a network of interconnected nests, results in stronger genetics. Faster response to problems like predation and sickness, across the network. The problem is the network has collapsed. You can affect change by installing honeybees nest boxes. I recommend my nest box:     Where did it all start you ask? Well as a little boy helping with the bees on my Grandfather's farm in Africa, to catching my first swarm when I was about twelve years old. This then sparked the interest and evolved into my hobby of beelineing (tracking bees to find wild colonies).    My story makes me uniquely qualified to design and build the ECO- BEEHIVE. With an interest in bees ( Apis mellifera ) not beekeeping! My interest is mostly investigating bees in the wild.  These little insects are under pressure from all sorts of thing. But simplest of these to fix and something we can all get involved in and help with is to simply give them a safe, natural home to live.  Solving this simple but big problem, is my mission! After trying many different designs over quite a few decades, and using all the data I have collected from observing bees, I have developed a nest that is so convincing, to bees, they will just move in on their own! But more impressive is they will stay, But even more impressive, is they will then thrive. This then is the ECO--BEEHIVE.   www.gardenersbeehive.com     Other episodes if you liked this one:   Urban Bees - My guest this week is urban apiculturist Mark Patterson. Mark founded and runs Apicultural where he work with businesses and communities to invest in natural capital, improving the environment for pollinators and delivering pollinator monitoring surveys for clients. He provides honey bee hive management solutions, beekeeping training and education and also supplies quality urban honey to a select group of establishments. So you'd think Mark would be all for the idea of urban honeybees, right? Listen on…   
Looking Out for Bumblebees - This episode my guest is Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. We talk about bumblebee populations and habitats, what we can do to encourage and care for bumblebees in our gardens and about the role of bumblebees in tomato pollination, which came as a complete surprise to me!   Support the podcast on Patreon

This episode is *really* visual. To see our line-by-line review of the Toyota Century SUV in real time, watch along at https://youtu.be/BtDJNCnuVlY?si=WAzJXEJ55_KeWa8cCriticism and the automotive industry make for uncomfortable bed fellows.We put so much heart and soul in to creating a car that when someone points out its flaws, it can be like being told that someone doesn't like our child.Except the cars we design are not our children. They're manufactured products that have an enormous impact on the world around us. They influence the way we think and behave. They shape our understanding of public space and how we share it. And they consume vast quantities of natural resources in their manufacture and use.So, as car designers and design strategists, alongside the engineers, product planners, and leadership we work with, we reckon we have a responsibility to question intently the impact that our work has, and to think deeply about what we have to do better.That the Toyota Century SUV is the object of our critique in this episode is almost neither here nor there. There are any number of new cars that fail to meet the needs of the moment in which we find ourselves. But as way to understand how design and product planning decisions can have such a remarkable impact on the perception of a brand, the big SUV, and the way it toys with the ethos and mythos of Century, is hard to miss.We're not here to denigrate or mindlessly criticise. We are here to get people to look up from their day-to-day, look out for the shifts and signals that are going to impact their work, and connect the dots that lead to a more sustainable, more equitable future.With this episode, we're making our first, messy, and very public attempt to create a template for having critical conversations about the future of the automotive industry, and the role of design within it. We're not going to get it right first time, but we'll keep trying.So whether you yelp in agreement with us, or shake your fist with rage that we dared question the status quo, take this as an invitation to speak up and share your views, not just with us, but with the Looking Out community.Over the coming months, we'll be developing a series of Looking Out interviews. Our aim is to present a diverse set of perspectives on where we should be headed. And if you're reading this newsletter, or listening to or watching the podcast, chances are you're someone we'd love to hear from, or you know someone we should speak to.So drop us a line at theautomobilitygroup gmail.com and let's start a conversation.That's it for this episode!

Looking Out for Ourselves, and Looking for Hashem

"I think I'm in a perpetual career transition" Restaurant Manager turned Career Coach turned Entrepreneur, Chris Hegg, from @ChrisatPeak joins Cassie on Happenstance to talk about making big career moves, the chaos and challenges behind career transitions and how he has developed a deep dense of confidence when it comes to follow his passions and taking advantage of opportunities. Let's see where happenstance takes us...Episode Topics:- Daily POP (00:02:40)- Guest Introduction (00:07:18)- Making a Mid-Career Change  (0025:49)- 10 Years in the Restaurant Industry (00:32:08)- The Start of a 4 Year Career Change (00:37:55)- Making Your Own Career Transition (00:42:46)- The Transition to Entrepreneurship and Reselling (00:44:37)-A Story on Looking Out for Yourself (00:56:46) Guest Bio:Chris Hegg is a solopreneur, career coach, content creator, reseller, and curriculum developer who is dedicated to being a catalyst for thoughtful career change. Chris began his career managing restaurants before launching his first big career transition at the age of 30. The “what everyone sees” version of this story is that Chris went back to grad school and became a Career Coach. This sounds like he took one giant step, and voila, transition complete. No! The “real” story of this transition involved dozens of small steps (and mis-steps), all during the Great Recession of 2008. This includes quitting a perfectly fine job, arranging countless coffee meetings, volunteering in the community, working a half dozen part-time jobs, paying off a mountain of debt, selling a car to fund tuition, and moving 900 miles south to attend graduate school.  For Chris, the real magic in that change was taking small steps, lots of them.After earning a Master of Arts in College Student Development, Chris worked as a Career Coach at universities and career schools. He soon established his first business, Peak Opportunity Coaching.  During his 10+ years of experience in career education, Chris has taken part in tens of thousands of conversations about work, life, passion, money and change.  He has drawn inspiration from the brave career changes of his clients, and how the modern world presents so many new avenues to explore and carry out career change.  Cue big career transition number 2. While working full-time as a Career Coach and growing his career coaching practice, Chris built a successful side-hustle selling used clothing on ebay (insert a bunch of small steps that nobody sees here). This side hustle grew quickly and he stepped aside from career coaching to focus on his growing used clothing business, Peak Opportunity Outfitters. Chris then started a new side-hustle too.  Under the name @ChrisAtPeak, Chris shares candid videos of his entrepreneurship journey, especially the small steps.  He shares this content to inspire and encourage others to pursue their own side-hustles, and to roll those side-hustles into big, brave career moves.  You can find Chris's storefronts and follow his journey at chrisatpeak.com.Guest Links:Instagram & Tiktok: @ChrisatpeakLet's Connect:@HappenstancethePodcast@CareerCoachCassie 

“To be able to bring the awareness to the band - to be able to say here's Mike Mcfadden so people go listen and then say what's The Looking Out foundation… and they see it's a great cause and donate some money…”- Michael IcoreFor many it takes a few rock boats to have that “uh huh” moment but it took the icores no time to pick up the tips and tricks of the rock boat immediately. From understanding that a schedule could be derailed by a pass-by show to getting caught up in conversations, they encompass having the vibes sway their musical experience. Today the icores talk about how they began creating connections with the artists to having artists perform at their house.The Icores house shows are yet another “ripple” of the Rock Boat, using music to give back to greater good. They talk about their upcoming house show featuring Mike Mcfadden to support a great cause, The Looking Out Foundation (https://www.lookingoutfoundation.org). It's non-profit started by TRB XIII alumni Brandi Carlisle and the Hanseroth twins that help to empower neighborhoods without a voice.

HCP - Ep. 100 - Looking Out the Window or In a MirrorOn this centennial episode, Larry and Drew share how grateful and thankful they are for the privilege of sharing with you every week. As leaders we are called to reflect in good times of celebration and difficult times of challenge. In those moments do you “go to the window” and look for all the people who have made your celebration possible? Do you give others credit, seeing your team as the reason for your success. If you go to the mirror and make it about you you've missed the mark. It's the same for when things aren't going great. That's when we should go to the mirror first. We should ask questions like what mistakes have I made, and how can I have done this differently. If you're struggling with burnout or depression, please reach out to us. We're praying for you!Thank you for listening!! To God be the glory for all he has done!! To find more information about The Healthy Church Podcast go to:http://www.healthychurchpodcast.comor find us on FaceBook!

A thorough investigation of how Jane Jacobs's ideas about the life and economy of great cities grew from her home city, Scranton Jane Jacobs's First City vividly reveals how this influential thinker and writer's classic works germinated in the once vibrant, mid-size city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, where Jane spent her initial eighteen years. In the 1920s and 1930s, Scranton was a place of enormous di­versity and opportunity. Small businesses of all kinds abounded and flourished, quality public education was available to and supported by all, and even recent immi­grants could save enough to buy a house. Opposing political parties joined forces to tackle problems, and citizens worked together for the public good. Through interviews with contemporary Scrantonians and research of historic newspapers, city directories, and vital records, author Glenna Lang has uncovered Scranton as young Jane experienced it and shows us the lasting impact of her growing up in this thriving and accessible environment. Readers can follow the development of Jane's acute observational abilities from childhood through her passion in early adulthood to understand and write about what she saw. Reflecting Jane's belief in trusting one's own direct observation above all, this volume has been richly illustrated with historic and modern color images that help bring alive a lost Scranton. The book demonstrates why, at the end of Jacobs's life, her thoughts and conversations increasingly returned to Scranton and the potential for cohesion and inclusiveness in all cities. Author Glenna Lang's previous work about Jane Jacobs—Genius of Common Sense: The Story of Jane Jacobs and “The Death and Life of Great American Cities”—aimed to inspire young adults but appealed to all ages in the general public and at universities. It was chosen as a 2009 Notable Book by both the New York Times and Smithsonian Magazine. As an illustrator, she produced four classic poems as picture books for children with David R. Godine, Publisher. Lang wrote and illustrated Looking Out for Sarah, about a day in the life of a seeing-eye dog, which won the American Library Association's Schneider Family Award. Although she grew up mainly in New York City, she has lived for many years in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and teaches at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, now part of Tufts University. She has loved spending time in Scranton with her husband, Alexander von Hoffman, and their dog, Easy.

At least at one point in our lives, we will all experience body pains and headaches. However, did you know that these may be signs of a vitamin deficiency? Around 60-70% of Americans are calcium and magnesium deficient. We may be vitamin deficient and not even notice it!

Episode Highlights [04:02] How Miray Started Vivoo Miray is knowledgeable in bioengineering and epigenetics. Her expertise is on the Internet of Things and biosensors.  Vivoo means being alive in Spanish.  It is a home diagnostics tool that helps in tracking biometric markers through urine. The application can measure hydration, liver and kidney functions, urinary tract infections, and ketones.    [06:43] Why Health Tracking is Important When you are aware of your health statistics, it's easier to take action.   If you're tracking biometric markers regularly, you'll learn about their patterns and changes.  Miray shares that Vivoo is also adding new metrics like calcium, vitamin C, magnesium, salt consumption, and free radicals. [10:43] Looking Out for Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress is involved in cell damage and diseases like cancer.  Free radicals can lead to oxidative stress. They can be found in food, objects, and even cosmetics.  Oxidative stress is a byproduct of lipid peroxidation and malondialdehyde (MDA).  [14:21] Who Can Use Vivoo? Many athletes use Vivoo to track their status before and after runs.  Vivoo can help people become more proactive in their health and understand their bodies' needs better.  On average, 70% of Americans are calcium deficient and 60% are magnesium deficient.  [19:33] How Does Vivoo Measure Oxidative Stress? When Vivoo uses colourimetric tests, speific molecules activate and change colours depending on the level of the biometric being measured.  People's health issues can be addressed by simply taking the right supplements and vitamins.  For example, magnesium can help in 600 enzymatic reactions and be a treatment for depression.     [24:17] How Medicine and the Medical Industry Should Change Medicine often cures only the symptoms, not the disease.  While medicines and treatments can address your symptoms, they won't treat vitamin deficiencies that might cause more significant problems for your body in the future.  Medical trends point to more home diagnostic tools to help people live longer and healthier.   Diabetes and obesity threatens the life expectancy of younger generations. [31:19] The Mindset to Become Stronger Looking for investors is just similar to looking for customers. You contact leads, pitch your sales, and hope to get funding.  It also requires mental toughness and optimism despite uncertainties.  When you believe in negative thinking, it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.  [40:43] How Vivoo Can Help You Make Lifestyle Changes Take note that Vivoo only helps gauge biometric levels and you can make decisions based on them.  Many in the biohacking community want nutrient information. Miray's team added metrics for calcium, Vitamin C, magnesium, and salts.  Vivoo also explains the importance of tracking biometric markers.  We need supplementation because our food may not be in its prime condition. For example, Vitamin C in vegetables can oxidate to 90%.  Getting good food nowadays has become difficult due to processing, packaging, pesticides, and modifications.  [54:39] Vivoo and Tracking Biometric Markers Miray shares that Vivoo does not check one's overall health. When tracking liver functions, it only measures bilirubin which can check liver damage and cirrhosis.  The application also checks for proteins related to kidney function. Remember that even if you look healthy on the outside, it doesn't mean you're healthy.  7 Powerful Quotes   “...  I want to know this for my own health, and my family's health so I can track everybody's going.”   “And people like us — sometimes I see hesitancy and people like, why would I pee on a stick unhealthy? But like 70% of Americans are calcium deficient and absorption reduces 30% by age.”   “ …if I had done an ultrasound, even of his stomach — if we would have seen what was going on under the hood, we would have been able to stop the aneurysm happening in his aorta, and we would have been able to fix them. That's just so sad that I didn't have something that  could have scanned him and seen that, and fixed that before it became a deadly problem.”   “...we can have genetic disorders, environmentally-caused problems, etc. But our body has actually tools to overcome it most of the times, but they don't allow our bodies to basically find those tools and help itself. They just try to cure the symptom.”   “...this is exciting, because then we will have much more control. And we will be able to live longer and age better and have a healthier [life].”   "And I realised that my biggest weakness is when there's uncertainty, there's two ways. You can be either optimistic, believe in yourself and your dreams, and keep going, or you can go down and save."   “It's okay for you to cost a little bit, in my opinion. It's okay for you to want to live your life and to have a good retirement and some nice times before you depart this world. And it's worth fighting for.” Resources Gain exclusive access and bonuses to Pushing the Limits Podcast by becoming a patron!  Order your very own Vivoo strips now and use code Lisa25 to get a 25% off your purchase!  Lifespan by David A.

We've gone through the shameful first anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol and of the refusal of 147 members of Congress (all Republicans) to certify all the electors from states that voted for Biden, on the basis of no evidence of fraud. So far, no political figure has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing. We've seen 34 voter-suppression bills enacted by 19 Republican state legislatures; at least 8 give state legislatures the power to disregard election outcomes. More than 400 additional voter suppression measures are now being prepared. And we are now witnessing a struggle in the Senate to reform the filibuster so that voting rights legislation can be enacted. All of which raises a basic question: Is there still a common good? I was at the impressionable age of fourteen when I heard John F. Kennedy urge us not to ask what America can do for us but what we can do for America. Seven years later I took a job as a summer intern in the Senate office of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy. It was not a glamorous job, to say the least. I felt lucky when I was asked to run his signature machine. But I told myself that in a very tiny way I was doing something for the good of the country.That was more than a half century ago. I wish I could say America is a better place now than it was then. Surely our lives are more convenient. Fifty years ago there were no cash machines or smart phones, and I wrote my first book on a typewriter. As individuals, we are as kind and generous as ever. We volunteer in our communities, donate, and help one another. We pitch in during natural disasters and emergencies. We come to the aid of individuals in need. We are a more inclusive society, in that Black people, LGBTQ people, and women have legal rights they didn't have a half century ago. Yet our civic life—as citizens in our democracy, participants in our economy, managers or employees of companies, and members or leaders of organizations—seems to have sharply deteriorated. What we have lost is a sense of our connectedness to each other and to our ideals—the America that John F. Kennedy asked that we contribute to.Starting in the late 1970s, Americans began talking less about the common good and more about self-aggrandizement. The shift is the hallmark of modern America: From the “Greatest Generation” to the “Me Generation,” from “we're all in it together” to “you're on your own.” In 1977, motivational speaker Robert Ringer wrote a book that reached the top of The New York Times bestseller list entitled Looking Out for # 1. It extolled the virtues of selfishness to a wide and enthusiastic audience. The 1987 film Wall Street epitomized the new ethos in the character Gordon Gekko and his signature line, “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.”The last five decades have also been marked by growing cynicism and distrust toward all of the basic institutions of American society. There is a wide and pervasive sense that the system as a whole is no longer working as it should. Racism, xenophobia, and religious intolerance are on the rise. A growing number of Americans feel neglected and powerless. Some are poor, or Black or Latino. Others are white and have been on a downward economic escalator for years. Some have been seduced by demagogues and conspiracy theorists. Thanks for subscribing to my letter. If you'd like to support this effort and be part of the conversation, please consider a paid or gift subscription. Is there a common good that still binds us together as Americans? Yes, and it's not the whiteness of our skin, or our adherence to Christianity, or the fact that we were born in the United States. We're bound together by the ideals and principles we share, and the mutual obligations those principles entail.After all, the U.S. Constitution was designed for “We the people” seeking to “promote the general welfare”—not for “me the selfish jerk seeking as much wealth and power as possible.” During the Great Depression of the 1930s and World War II, Americans faced common perils that required us to work together for the common good. That good was echoed in Franklin D. Roosevelt's “Four Freedoms”—freedom of speech, of worship, from want, and from fear. The common good animated many of us – both white and Black Americans—to fight for civil rights and voting rights in the 1960s. It inspired America to create the largest and most comprehensive system of public education the world had ever seen. And it moved many of us to act against the injustice of the Vietnam War, and others of us to serve bravely in that besotted conflict.Americans sharply disagree about exactly what we want for America or for the world. But if we are to participate in the same society we must agree on how we deal with our disagreements, our obligations under the law, and our commitment to democracy. It's our agreement to these principles that connects us, not agreement about where these principles lead. Some of us may want to prohibit abortions because we believe life begins at conception; others of us believe individuals should have the right to determine what happens to their bodies. Some of us want stricter environmental protections; others, more lenient. We are free to take any particular position on these and any other issues. But as political equals in this democracy, we are bound to accept the outcomes even if we dislike them. Our central obligation as citizens is to preserve, fortify, and protect our democratic form of government. We must defend the right to vote and ensure that more citizens are heard, not fewer. We must require that presidents be elected by the will of the people, and prevent political parties and state legislatures from disregarding the popular vote. We must get big money out of politics so the moneyed interests don't have more political power than the rest of us. Democracy doesn't require us to agree. It requires us to agree only on preserving and protecting democracy. This meta-agreement is the essence of the common good. Those now attacking American democracy are attacking the common good that binds us together. They are attacking America. We must join together — progressives and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, inhabitants of blue states and of red states, business leaders as well as leaders of nonprofits and of the public sector — to rescue American democracy from those who now seek to destroy it.

Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?”He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.' You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”Then he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile. For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”We love when Jesus lets the Pharisees have it. When they say something stupid or selfish or unholy and self-righteous and Jesus puts them in their place with a well-cited piece of Scripture. He does it more than once in the Gospels and it's awesome. He calls them blind guides and blind fools. He compares them to a brood of vipers and white-washed tombs. It's one of the ways I want to be more like Jesus sometimes.And that's what he's up to this morning. The scribes and the Pharisees are getting after Jesus for letting his disciples eat with defiled hands – for not washing them, first – as their history and tradition instructed them to do. This wasn't just about cleanliness and hygiene, either. The handwashing they were after had as much to do with religious ritual and piety, so the Pharisees and scribes were pointing out the supposed sinfulness of the disciples and judging them for it. So, Jesus pulls that quote from the prophet Isaiah out of his back pocket and uses it to call them all hypocrites. “Hypocrites” because the Pharisees and scribes and religious people of all stripes were using the letter of the law to shame and scare and pass judgment on others, while they, themselves, had plenty to be ashamed of.There's an interesting bit of scripture, removed from this lectionary text for some reason, where Jesus gets specific about it, too. He calls out the Pharisees for creating a loophole, where they could avoid “honoring their father and mother” by declaring the portion of their income they would, could, and should be using to care for their elders, as “corban,” or as an offering to God, which was exempt from such worldly purposes. (In other words, maybe they didn't want to pay for mom's nursing home, so they designated that money as holy, sacred, and blessed by the synagogue so that it was off-limits in some way.) And we know they threw stones, too – literally, threw stones – at women and girls for adultery and divorce and prostitution in ways men didn't have to suffer.And they declared food unclean and people unworthy and sins unforgiveable – which is what all of this with Jesus and his disciples is really about, in the end. These religious people were so good at pointing fingers and casting judgment and declaring who was in or out, who was loved or not, who was chosen or damned, and all the rest.And Jesus's point, I think, is that it's easier to fight and point fingers and cast judgment about the stuff “outside,” than it is to look within ourselves or to wonder about what's within the heart of our neighbor, too.For the Pharisees, this “outside” stuff that left a person “clean” or not was stuff like handwashing … or all of those dietary laws they had to follow … or who was sleeping with whom.For us – these days it seems like the “outside” stuff marks a person – is stuff like masks … and vaccines; political parties … and still, too much of the time, who's sleeping with whom, for crying out loud!We can throw all the proverbial stones we want – and we do, and we are as good at it as the Pharisees, some of the time – but, the genius of God, in Jesus, is that, because he looked so much like those Pharisees and because he looks so much like us, just the same, Jesus compels us all to look in the mirror, and deeper into our own heart of hearts, too.Where are we throwing stones, when we could be offering mercy?Like, maybe that person isn't connected to a community of faith because they've never been invited before or because they've been burned by them in the past.Where are we casting judgment when we could be asking better questions?Like, is it a coincidence that, four of the states with the lowest levels of COVID vaccinated people are also among those ranked lowest in education in our country?Where am I arguing about what's on the outside instead of trying to understand, forgive, maybe even heal, what's on the inside?Like, maybe that really angry, ignorant, naive social media rant is the only vehicle for being heard that those special someones in my Facebook feed have at their disposal.Where am I getting angry when I could be turning the other cheek?Where am I being more proud than humble? More afraid than faithful? More selfish than self-sacrificing? When, where, and why would Jesus let me have it, just like he did those Pharisees so much of the time?There's a line in a Brandi Carlile song called “Looking Out,” where she sings, “Some people get religion. Some people get the truth.” Brandi Carlile, a lesbian who was denied the waters of baptism as a teenager because of her sexuality, sings about how she never got the truth. And I think that's the case for too many people in our world these days.“Some people get religion. Some people get the truth.”Misguided religion draws lines in-between and divides based on differences. Faith and truth draw a gathering circle around to celebrate those same differences.Misguided religion finds fault and flaws. Faith and truth promise forgiveness.Misguided religion stokes fear. Faith and truth offer hope.Misguided religion points fingers. Faith and truth lends a hand.Misguided religion does the same-old, same-old, just because it is the same-old, same-old. Faith and truth get out of the boat and try new things.Misguided religion counts sins. Faith and truth count blessings.Misguided religion lives in scarcity. Faith and truth trust in God's abundance.“Some people get religion. Some people get the Truth.”The Pharisees in Jesus' day were all about religion. Jesus was and is all about the Way, the Truth, and the Life:The WAY of discipleship that calls us to follow in his loving footsteps…The TRUTH of God's grace for the ways we stumble and fall as we go…And the LIFE everlasting that belongs to each of us because we all belong to him.AmenCheck out this performance of Brandi Carlile's “LOOKING OUT” for a little inspiration.

Founding a SaaS company has never been easier, develop a solution to an existing problem, write a lean plan, validate, explore different pricing models, establish a brand, make it legal, finance and funding if needed, build your product, go to market strategy & establish the one metric that matters for success… easy enough right?,  but even if you do these already hard things right, there's as little as 8% of surviving the fierce competence of the market while trying to keep up with the massive growth of the industry.

A lot has happened since we got behind the mics to record Ear Hustle’s first season. As we begin our seventh, we catch up with three people whom listeners first heard from inside San Quentin, and hear about the twists and turns their lives have taken since. Rauch first appeared in the episode Looking Out. Ronnie first appeared in the episode Kissing the Concrete. Curtis first appeared in the episode Left Behind, and later in the episode I Want the Fairy Tale. As always, thanks to Lt. Sam Robinson and Acting Warden Ron Broomfield for their support of the show.

Transcript Today we’re going to look at a song that, more than any other song we’ve looked at so far, shows how the influence between British and American music was working in the early 1960s. A song about New Orleans that may have its roots in English folk music, that became an Appalachian country song, performed by a blues band from the North of England, who learned it from a Minnesotan folk singer based in New York. We’re going to look at “House of the Rising Sun”, and the career of the Animals: [Excerpt: The Animals, “House of the Rising Sun”] The story of the Animals, like so many of the British bands of this time period, starts at art school, when two teenagers named Eric Burdon and John Steel met each other. The school they met each other at was in Newcastle, and this is important for how the band came together. If you’re not familiar with the geography of Great Britain, Newcastle is one of the largest cities, but it’s a very isolated city. Britain has a number of large cities. The biggest, of course, is London, which is about as big as the next five added together. Now, there’s a saying that one of the big differences between Britain and America is that in America a hundred years is a long time, and in Britain a hundred miles is a long way, so take that into account when I talk about everything else here. Most of the area around London is empty of other big cities, and the nearest other big city to it is Birmingham, a hundred miles north-west of it. About seventy miles north of that, give or take, you hit Manchester, and Manchester is in the middle of a chain of large cities — Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, and Sheffield, and the slightly smaller Bradford, are more or less in a row, and the furthest distance between two adjacent cities is about thirty-five miles. But then Newcastle is another hundred miles north of Leeds, the closest of those cities to it. And then it’s another hundred miles or so further north before you hit the major Scottish cities, which cluster together like the ones near Manchester do. This means Newcastle is, for a major city, incredibly isolated. Britain’s culture is extraordinarily London-centric, but if you’re in Liverpool or Manchester there are a number of other nearby cities. A band from Manchester can play a gig in Liverpool and make the last train home, and vice versa. This allows for the creation of regional scenes, centred on one city but with cross-fertilisation from others. Now, again, I am talking about a major city here, not some remote village, but it means that Newcastle in the sixties was in something of the same position as Seattle was, as we talked about in the episode on “Louie, Louie” — a place where bands would play in their own immediate area and not travel outside it. A journey to Leeds, particularly in the time we’re talking about when the motorway system was only just starting, would be a major trip, let alone travelling further afield. Local bands would play in Newcastle, and in large nearby towns like Gateshead, Sunderland, and Middlesborough, but not visit other cities. This meant that there was also a limited pool of good musicians to perform with, and so if you wanted to be in a band, you couldn’t be that picky about who you got on with, so long as they could play. Steel and Burdon, when they met at art school, were both jazz fanatics, and they quickly formed a trad jazz band. The band initially featured them on trumpet and trombone, but when rock and roll and skiffle hit the band changed its lineup to one based around guitars. Steel shifted to drums, while Burdon stopped playing an instrument and became the lead singer. Burdon’s tastes at the time were oriented towards the jazzier side of R&B, people like Ray Charles, and he also particularly loved blues shouters like Jimmy Witherspoon and Big Joe Turner. He tried hard to emulate Turner, and one of the songs that’s often mentioned as being in the repertoire of these early groups is “Roll ‘Em Pete”, the Big Joe Turner song we talked about back in episode two: [Excerpt: Big Joe Turner, “Roll ’em Pete”] The jazz group that Burdon and Steel formed was called the Pagan Jazz Men, and when they switched instruments they became instead The Pagans R&B Band. The group was rounded out by Blackie Sanderson and Jimmy Crawford, but soon got a fifth member when a member from another band on an early bill asked if he could sit in with them for a couple of numbers. Alan Price was the rhythm guitarist in that band, but joined in on piano, and instantly gelled with the group, playing Jerry Lee Lewis style piano. The other members would always later say that they didn’t like Price either as a person or for his taste in music — both Burdon and Steel regarded Price’s tastes as rather pedestrian when compared to their own, hipper, tastes, saying he always regarded himself as something of a lounge player, while Burdon was an R&B and blues person and Steel liked blues and jazz. But they all played well together, and in Newcastle there wasn’t that much choice about which musicians you could play with, and so they stayed together for a while, as the Pagans evolved into the Kansas City Five or the Kansas City Seven, depending on the occasional presence of two brass players. The Kansas City group played mostly jump blues, which was the area of music where Burdon and Steel’s tastes intersected — musicians they’ve cited as ones they covered were Ray Charles, Louis Jordan, and Big Joe Turner. But then the group collapsed, as Price didn’t turn up to a gig — he’d been poached by a pop covers band, the Kon-Tors, whose bass player, Chas Chandler, had been impressed with him when Chandler had sat in at a couple of Kansas City Five rehearsals. Steel got a gig playing lounge music, just to keep paying the bills, and Burdon would occasionally sit in with various other musicians. But a few members of the Kon-Tors got a side gig, performing as the Alan Price Rhythm & Blues Combo as the resident band at a local venue called the Club A Go-Go, which was the venue where visiting London jazzmen and touring American blues players would perform when they came to Newcastle. Burdon started sitting in with them, and then they invited Steel to replace their drummer, and in September 1963 the Alan Price Rhythm And Blues Combo settled on a lineup of Burdon on vocals, Price on piano, Steel on drums, Chandler on bass, and new member Hilton Valentine, who joined at the same time as Steel, on guitar. Valentine was notably more experienced than the other members, and had previously performed in a rock and roll group called the Wildcats — not the same band who backed Marty Wilde — and had even recorded an album with them, though I’ve been unable to track down any copies of the album. At this point all the group members now had different sensibilities — Valentine was a rocker and skiffle fan, while Chandler was into more mainstream pop music, though the other members emphasised in interviews that he liked *good* pop music like the Beatles, not the lesser pop music. The new lineup was so good that a mere eight days after they first performed together, they went into a recording studio to record an EP, which they put out themselves and sold at their gigs. Apparently five hundred copies of the EP were sold. As well as playing piano on the tracks, Price also played melodica, which he used in the same way that blues musicians would normally use the harmonica: [Excerpt: The Alan Price Rhythm & Blues Combo, “Pretty Thing”] This kind of instrumental experimentation would soon further emphasise the split between Price and Burdon, as Price would get a Vox organ rather than cart a piano between gigs, while Burdon disliked the sound of the organ, even though it became one of the defining sounds of the group. That sound can be heard on a live recording of them a couple of months later, backing the great American blues musician Sonny Boy Williamson II at the Club A Go Go: [Excerpt: Sonny Boy Williamson II and the Animals, “Fattening Frogs For Snakes”] One person who definitely *didn’t* dislike the sound of the electric organ was Graham Bond, the Hammond organ player with Alexis Korner’s band who we mentioned briefly back in the episode on the Rolling Stones. Bond and a few other members of the Korner group had quit, and formed their own group, the Graham Bond Organisation, which had originally featured a guitarist named John McLaughlin, but by this point consisted of Bond, saxophone player Dick Heckstall-Smith, and the rhythm section Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. They wouldn’t make an album until 1965, but live recordings of them from around this time exist, though in relatively poor quality: [Excerpt: The Graham Bond Organisation, “Wade in the Water”] The Graham Bond Organisation played at the Club A Go Go, and soon Bond was raving back in London about this group from Newcastle he’d heard. Arrangements were quickly made for them to play in London. By this time, the Rolling Stones had outgrown the small club venues they’d been playing, and a new band called the Yardbirds were playing all the Stones’ old venues. A trade was agreed — the Yardbirds would play all the Alan Price Rhythm & Blues Combo’s normal gigs for a couple of weeks, and the Alan Price Rhythm & Blues Combo would play the Yardbirds’. Or rather, the Animals would. None of the members of the group could ever agree on how they got their new name, and not all of them liked it, but when they played those gigs in London in December 1963, just three months after getting together, that was how they were billed. And it was as the Animals that they were signed by Mickie Most. Mickie Most was one of the new breed of independent producers that were cropping up in London, following in Joe Meek’s footsteps, like Andrew Oldham. Most had started out as a singer in a duo called The Most Brothers, which is where he got his stage name. The Most Brothers had only released one single: [Excerpt: The Most Brothers, “Whole Lotta Woman”] But then Most had moved to South Africa, where he’d had eleven number one hits with cover versions of American rock singles, backed by a band called the Playboys: [Excerpt: Mickie Most and the Playboys, “Johnny B Goode”] He’d returned to the UK in 1963, and been less successful here as a performer, and so he decided to move into production, and the Animals were his first signing. He signed them up and started licensing their records to EMI, and in January 1964 the Animals moved down to London. There has been a lot of suggestion over the years that the Animals resented Mickie Most pushing them in a more pop direction, but their first single was an inspired compromise between the group’s blues purism and Most’s pop instincts. The song they recorded dates back at least to 1935, when the State Street Boys, a group that featured Big Bill Broonzy, recorded “Don’t Tear My Clothes”: [Excerpt: The State Street Boys, “Don’t Tear My Clothes”] That song got picked up and adapted by a lot of other blues singers, like Blind Boy Fuller, who recorded it as “Mama Let Me Lay It On You” in 1938: [Excerpt: Blind Boy Fuller, “Mama Let Me Lay it On You”] That had in turn been picked up by the Reverend Gary Davis, who came up with his own arrangement of the song: [Excerpt: Rev. Gary Davis, “Baby, Let Me Lay It On You”] Eric von Schmidt, a folk singer in Massachusetts, had learned that song from Davis, and Bob Dylan had in turn learned it from von Schmidt, and included it on his first album as “Baby Let Me Follow You Down”: [Excerpt: Bob Dylan, “Baby Let Me Follow You Down”] The Animals knew the song from that version, which they loved, but Most had come across it in a different way. He’d heard a version which had been inspired by Dylan, but had been radically reworked. Bert Berns had produced a single on Atlantic for a soul singer called Hoagy Lands, and on the B-side had been a new arrangement of the song, retitled “Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand” and adapted by Berns and Wes Farrell, a songwriter who had written for the Shirelles. Land’s version had started with an intro in which Lands is clearly imitating Sam Cooke: [Excerpt: Hoagy Lands, “Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand”] But after that intro, which seems to be totally original to Berns and Farrell, Lands’ track goes into a very upbeat Twist-flavoured song, with a unique guitar riff and Latin feel, both of them very much in the style of Berns’ other songs, but clearly an adaptation of Dylan’s version of the old song: [Excerpt: Hoagy Lands, “Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand”] Most had picked up that record on a trip to America, and decided that the Animals should record a version of the song based on that record. Hilton Valentine would later claim that this record, whose title and artist he could never remember (and it’s quite possible that Most never even told the band who the record was by) was not very similar at all to the Animals’ version, and that they’d just kicked around the song and come up with their own version, but listening to it, it is *very* obviously modelled on Lands’ version. They cut out Lands’ intro, and restored a lot of Dylan’s lyric, but musically it’s Lands all the way. The track starts like this: [Excerpt: The Animals, “Baby Let Me Take You Home”] Both have a breakdown section with spoken lyrics over a staccato backing, though the two sets of lyrics are different — compare the Animals: [Excerpt: The Animals, “Baby Let Me Take You Home”] and Lands: [Excerpt: Hoagy Lands, “Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand”] And both have the typical Bert Berns call and response ending — Lands: [Excerpt: Hoagy Lands, “Baby Let me Hold Your Hand”] And the Animals: [Excerpt: The Animals, “Baby Let Me Take You Home”] So whatever Valentine’s later claims, the track very much was modelled on the earlier record, but it’s still one of the strongest remodellings of an American R&B record by a British group in this time period, and an astonishingly accomplished record, which made number twenty-one. The Animals’ second single was another song that had been recorded on Dylan’s first album. “House of the Rising Sun” has been argued by some, though I think it’s a tenuous argument, to originally date to the seventeenth century English folk song “Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard”: [Excerpt: Martin Carthy, “Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard”] What we do know is that the song was circulating in Appalachia in the early years of the twentieth century, and it’s that version that was first recorded in 1933, under the name “Rising Sun Blues”, by Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster: [Excerpt: Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster, “Rising Sun Blues”] The song has been described as about several things — about alcoholism, about sex work, about gambling — depending on the precise version. It’s often thought, for example, that the song was always sung by women and was about a brothel, but there are lots of variants of it, sung by both men and women, before it reached its most famous form. Dave van Ronk, who put the song into the form by which it became best known, believed at first that it was a song about a brothel, but he later decided that it was probably about the New Orleans Women’s Prison, which in his accounting used to have a carving of a rising sun over the doorway. Van Ronk’s version traces back originally to a field recording Alan Lomax had made in 1938 of a woman named Georgia Turner, from Kentucky: [Excerpt: Georgia Turner, “Rising Sun Blues”] Van Ronk had learned the song from a record by Hally Wood, a friend of the Lomaxes, who had recorded a version based on Turner’s in 1953: [Excerpt: Hally Wood, “House of the Rising Sun”] Van Ronk took Wood’s version of Turner’s version of the song, and rearranged it, changing the chords around, adding something that changed the whole song. He introduced a descending bassline, mostly in semitones, which as van Ronk put it is “a common enough progression in jazz, but unusual among folksingers”. It’s actually something you’d get a fair bit in baroque music as well, and van Ronk introducing this into the song is probably what eventually led to things like Procul Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” ripping off Bach doing essentially the same thing. What van Ronk did was a simple trick. You play a descending scale, mostly in semitones, while holding the same chord shape which creates a lot of interesting chords. The bass line he played is basically this: [demonstrates] And he held an A minor shape over that bassline, giving a chord sequence Am, Am over G, Am over F#, F. [demonstrates] This is a trick that’s used in hundreds and hundreds of songs later in the sixties and onward — everything from “Sunny Afternoon” by the Kinks to “Go Now” by the Moody Blues to “Forever” by the Beach Boys — but it was something that at this point belonged in the realms of art music and jazz more than in folk, blues, or rock and roll. Of course, it sounds rather better when he did it: [Excerpt, Dave van Ronk, “House of the Rising Sun”] “House of the Rising Sun” soon became the highlight of van Ronk’s live act, and his most requested song. Dylan took van Ronk’s arrangement, but he wasn’t as sophisticated a musician as van Ronk, so he simplified the chords. Rather than the dissonant chords van Ronk had, he played standard rock chords that fit van Ronk’s bassline, so instead of Am over G he played C with a G in the bass, and instead of Am over F# he played D with an F# in the bass. So van Ronk had: [demonstrates] While Dylan had: [demonstrates] The movement of the chords now follows the movement of the bassline. It’s simpler, but it’s all from van Ronk’s arrangement idea. Dylan recorded his version of van Ronk’s version for his first album: [Excerpt: Bob Dylan, “House of the Rising Sun”] As van Ronk later told the story (though I’m going to edit out one expletive here for the sake of getting past the adult content rating on Apple): “One evening in 1962, I was sitting at my usual table in the back of the Kettle of Fish, and Dylan came slouching in. He had been up at the Columbia studios with John Hammond, doing his first album. He was being very mysterioso about the whole thing, and nobody I knew had been to any of the sessions except Suze, his lady. I pumped him for information, but he was vague. Everything was going fine and, “Hey, would it be okay for me to record your arrangement of ‘House of the Rising Sun?’” [expletive]. “Jeez, Bobby, I’m going into the studio to do that myself in a few weeks. Can’t it wait until your next album?” A long pause. “Uh-oh.” I did not like the sound of that. “What exactly do you mean, ‘Uh-oh’?” “Well,” he said sheepishly, “I’ve already recorded it.” “You did what?!” I flew into a Donald Duck rage, and I fear I may have said something unkind that could be heard over in Chelsea.” van Ronk and Dylan fell out for a couple of weeks, though they later reconciled, and van Ronk said of Dylan’s performance “it was essentially my arrangement, but Bobby’s reading had all the nuance and subtlety of a Neanderthal with a stone hand ax, and I took comfort thereby.” van Ronk did record his version, as we heard, but he soon stopped playing the song live because he got sick of people telling him to “play that Dylan song”. The Animals learned the song from the Dylan record, and decided to introduce it to their set on their first national tour, supporting Chuck Berry. All the other acts were only doing rock and roll and R&B, and they thought a folk song might be a way to make them stand out — and it instantly became the highlight of their act.  The way all the members except Alan Price tell the story, the main instigators of the arrangement were Eric Burdon, the only member of the group who had been familiar with the song before hearing the Dylan album, and Hilton Valentine, who came up with the arpeggiated guitar part. Their arrangement followed Dylan’s rearrangement of van Ronk’s rearrangement, except they dropped the scalar bassline altogether, so for example instead of a D with an F# in the bass they just play a plain open D chord — the F# that van Ronk introduced is still in there, as the third, but the descending line is now just implied by the chords, not explicitly stated in the bass, where Chas Chandler just played root notes. In the middle of the tour, the group were called back into the studio to record their follow-up single, and they had what seemed like it might be a great opportunity. The TV show Ready Steady Go! wanted the Animals to record a version of the old Ray Charles song “Talking ‘Bout You”, to use as their theme. The group travelled down from Liverpool after playing a show there, and went into the studio in London at three o’clock in the morning, before heading to Southampton for the next night’s show. But they needed to record a B-side first, of course, and so before getting round to the main business of the session they knocked off a quick one-take performance of their new live showstopper: [Excerpt: The Animals, “House of the Rising Sun”] On hearing the playback, everyone was suddenly convinced that that, not “Talking ‘Bout You”, should be the A-side. But there was a problem. The record was four minutes and twenty seconds long, and you just didn’t ever release a record that long. The rule was generally that songs didn’t last longer than three minutes, because radio stations wouldn’t play them, but Most was eventually persuaded by Chas Chandler that the track needed to go out as it was, with no edits. It did, but when it went out, it had only one name on as the arranger — which when you’re recording a public domain song makes you effectively the songwriter. According to all the members other than Price, the group’s manager, Mike Jeffrey, who was close to Price, had “explained” to them that you needed to just put one name down on the credits, but not to worry, as they would all get a share of the songwriting money. According to Price, meanwhile, he was the sole arranger. Whatever the truth, Price was the only one who ever got any songwriting royalties for their version of the song, which went to number one in the UK and the US. although the version released as a single in the US was cut down to three minutes with some brutal edits, particularly to the organ solo: [Excerpt: The Animals, “House of the Rising Sun (US edit)”] None of the group liked what was done to the US single edit, and the proper version was soon released as an album track everywhere The Animals’ version was a big enough hit that it inspired Dylan’s new producer Tom Wilson to do an experiment. In late 1964 he hired session musicians to overdub a new electric backing onto an outtake version of “House of the Rising Sun” from the sessions from Dylan’s first album, to see what it would sound like: [Excerpt: Bob Dylan, “House of the Rising Sun (1964 electric version)”] That wasn’t released at the time, it was just an experiment Wilson tried, but it would have ramifications we’ll be seeing throughout the rest of the podcast. Incidentally, Dave van Ronk had the last laugh at Dylan, who had to drop the song from his own sets because people kept asking him if he’d stolen it from the Animals. The Animals’ next single, “I’m Crying”, was their first and only self-written A-side, written by Price and Burdon. It was a decent record and made the top ten in the UK and the top twenty in the US, but Price and Burdon were never going to become another Lennon and McCartney or Jagger and Richards — they just didn’t like each other by this point. The record after that, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”, was written by the jazz songwriters Benny Benjamin and Horace Ott, and had originally been recorded by Nina Simone in an orchestral version that owed quite a bit to Burt Bacharach: [Excerpt: Nina Simone, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”] The Animals’ version really suffers in comparison to that. I was going to say something about how their reinterpretation is as valid in its own way as Simone’s original and stands up against it, but actually listening to them back to back as I was writing this, rather than separately as I always previously had, I changed my mind because I really don’t think it does. It’s a great record, and it’s deservedly considered a classic single, but compared to Simone’s version, it’s lightweight, rushed, and callow: [Excerpt: The Animals, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”] Simone was apparently furious at the Animals’ recording, which they didn’t understand given that she hadn’t written the original, and according to John Steel she and Burdon later had a huge screaming row about the record. In Steel’s version, Simone eventually grudgingly admitted that they weren’t “so bad for a bunch of white boys”, but that doesn’t sound to me like the attitude Simone would take. But Steel was there and I wasn’t… “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” was followed by a more minor single, a cover of Sam Cooke’s “Bring it on Home to Me”, which would be the last single by the group to feature Alan Price. On the twenty-eighth of April 1965, the group were about to leave on a European tour. Chas Chandler, who shared a flat with Price, woke Price up and then got in the shower. When he got out of the shower, Price wasn’t in the flat, and Chandler wouldn’t see Price again for eighteen months. Chandler believed until his death that while he was in the shower, Price’s first royalty cheque for arranging “House of the Rising Sun” had arrived, and Price had decided then and there that he wasn’t going to share the money as agreed. The group quickly rushed to find a fill-in keyboard player for the tour, and nineteen-year-old Mick Gallagher was with them for a couple of weeks before being permanently replaced by Dave Rowberry. Gallagher would later go on to be the keyboard player with Ian Dury and the Blockheads, as well as playing on several tracks by the Clash. Price, meanwhile, went on to have a number of solo hits over the next few years, starting with a version of “I Put A Spell On You”, in an arrangement which the other Animals later claimed had originally been worked up as an Animals track: [Excerpt: The Alan Price Set, “I Put A Spell On You”] Price would go on to make many great solo records, introducing the songs of Randy Newman to a wider audience, and performing in a jazz-influenced R&B style very similar to Mose Allison. The Animals’ first record with their new keyboard player was their greatest single. “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place” had been written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, and had originally been intended for the Righteous Brothers, but they’d decided to have Mann record it himself: [Excerpt: Barry Mann, “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place”] But before that version was released, the Animals had heard Mann’s piano demo of the song and cut their own version, and Mann’s was left on the shelf. What the Animals did to the song horrified Cynthia Weill, who considered it the worst record of one of her songs ever — though one suspects that’s partly because it sabotaged the chances for her husband’s single — but to my mind they vastly improved on the song. They tightened the melody up a lot, getting rid of a lot of interjections. They reworked big chunks of the lyric, for example changing “Oh girl, now you’re young and oh so pretty, staying here would be a crime, because you’ll just grow old before your time” to “Now my girl, you’re so young and pretty, and one thing I know is true, you’ll be dead before your time is due”, and making subtler changes like changing “if it’s the last thing that we do” to “if it’s the last thing we ever do”, improving the scansion. They kept the general sense of the lyrics, but changed more of the actual words than they kept — and to my ears, at least, every change they made was an improvement. And most importantly, they excised the overlong bridge altogether. I can see what Mann and Weill were trying to do with the bridge — Righteous Brothers songs would often have a call and response section, building to a climax, where Bill Medley’s low voice and Bobby Hatfield’s high one would alternate and then come together. But that would normally come in the middle, building towards the last chorus. Here it comes between every verse and chorus, and completely destroys the song’s momentum — it just sounds like noodling: [Excerpt: Barry Mann, “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place”] The Animals’ version, by contrast, is a masterpiece of dynamics, of slow builds and climaxes and dropping back down again. It’s one of the few times I’ve wished I could just drop the entire record in, rather than excerpting a section, because it depends so much for its effect on the way the whole structure of the track works together: [Excerpt: The Animals, “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place”] From a creators’ rights perspective, I entirely agree with Cynthia Weill that the group shouldn’t have messed with her song. But from a listener’s point of view, I have to say that they turned a decent song into a great one, and one of the greatest singles of all time “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place” was followed by another lesser but listenable single, “It’s My Life”, which seemed to reinforce a pattern of a great Animals single being followed by a merely OK one. But that was the point at which the Animals and Most would part company — the group were getting sick of Most’s attempts to make them more poppy. They signed to a new label, Decca, and got a new producer, Tom Wilson, the man who we heard earlier experimenting with Dylan’s sound, but the group started to fall apart. After their next single, “Inside — Looking Out”, a prison work song collected by the Lomaxes, and the album Animalisms, John Steel left the group, tired of not getting any money, and went to work in a shop. The album after Animalisms, confusingly titled Animalism, was also mostly produced by Wilson, and didn’t even feature the musicians in the band on two of the tracks, which Wilson farmed out to a protege of his, Frank Zappa, to produce. Those two tracks featured Zappa on guitar and members of the Wrecking Crew, with only Burdon from the actual group: [Excerpt: The Animals, “All Night Long”] Soon the group would split up, and would discover that their management had thoroughly ripped them off — there had been a scheme to bank their money in the Bahamas for tax reasons, in a bank which mysteriously disappeared off the face of the Earth. Burdon would form a new group, known first as the New Animals and later as Eric Burdon and the Animals, who would have some success but not on the same level. There were a handful of reunions of the original lineup of the group between 1968 and the early eighties, but they last played together in 1983. Burdon continues to tour the US as Eric Burdon and the Animals. Alan Price continues to perform successfully as a solo artist. We’ll be picking up with Chas Chandler later, when he moves from bass playing into management, so you’ll hear more about him in future episodes. John Steel, Dave Rowberry, and Hilton Valentine reformed a version of the Animals in the 1990s, originally with Jim Rodford, formerly of the Kinks and Argent, on bass. Valentine left that group in 2001, and Rowberry died in 2003. Steel now tours the UK as “The Animals and Friends”, with Mick Gallagher, who had replaced Price briefly in 1965, on keyboards. I’ve seen them live twice and they put on an excellent show — though the second time, one woman behind me did indignantly say, as the singer started, “That’s not Eric Clapton!”, before starting to sing along happily… And Hilton Valentine moved to the US and played briefly with Burdon’s Animals after quitting Steel’s, before returning to his first love, skiffle. He died exactly four weeks ago today, and will be missed.

Looking Out for #2 (02/14/2021) by Southwinds Church of Tracy

The 4M's Framework: MOBILITY with Tahira I. Lodhi MD "MOBILITY is a critical aspect of the 4M's framework because you have to safely move every day to maintain your function - in order to do WHAT MATTERS."-Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FGSA, FAAN Strength and mobility are vital facets of life, but they are often taken for granted. When you experience a mobility restriction, that’s when people become more mindful of its value. For older adults, mobility issues are strongly linked to falls, social isolation, feelings of loneliness, stress, chronic disease, weight deterioration, and loss of bone mass. Mobility restrictions are also known predictors of mortality. Older adults prefer to be independent, but this may be difficult if they are experiencing mobility problems.  In today's episode, we will discuss MOBILITY as a continuation of our special series on the 4M's Framework of the Age-friendly Health Care Systems. With me is Dr. Tahira I. Lodhi, and we're inviting you to join us and discover how to implement MOBILITY in your care plan for older adults properly. Part One of 'The 4M's Framework: MOBILITY'. About Tahira I. Lodhi MD  Tahira I. Lodhi, MD, is an assistant professor at the University of George Washington for Geriatrics and Palliative Care. In 1999, she graduated from medical school and received her Family Medicine training at Virginia Commonwealth University and her Geriatrics Fellowship Training at George Washington University. Dr. Lodhi's expertise is in the training and practice of primary care geriatrics. She’s often involved in developing workflows in healthcare systems and aims to support her patients to receive streamlined, patient-centered services. What MOBILITY is All About?  When we say MOBILITY, we're talking about the movement of patients in their environment. It is an indicator of how well your patient can live independently in the community and their own homes.  Moreover, MOBILITY for older adults is about moving naturally. It's not like training for marathons. But the movement is essential. It has to do with how well they walk and their balance and strength—how well older adults can get around matters. "For every day that an older adult spends in bed, it takes them about three weeks to recover. So daily movement is essential." -Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FGSA, FAAN. How to Maintain MOBILITY: What To Do and Things To Look Out For Awareness of Your Patient's Life Space Your patient's living space tells you how mobile or interactive they are with their surroundings. Care providers must know whether the patient is traveling in the community, taking public transport, going places, or confined to the home to assisted living or nursing home. That life space concept is essential to determine how functional your patients are. A clear understanding of your patient's life space minimizes the onset of disability in the future and has been associated with a decline in certain medical conditions like COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Looking Out for Elements that may Cause Falls The primary goal of incorporating MOBILITY into older adults’ health care plans is for them to be independent and have ease in moving around. As their care providers, make sure the environment they are in is safe enough and there are not, for example, area rugs that could cause potential falls. See to it that your patients have spaces where they can move around in their environment. Likewise, consider your patient's engagement with the broader community, their neighborhood, and also within their own home. These are built environments that need safety assessments. Like how safe are the sidewalks? Do they need adaptive equipment?  Encourage Daily Movement Another way to maintain MOBILITY among older adults is by encouraging them to move daily. Any increased activity level from baseline is best, but the goals and targets for older adults are 30 minutes of regular to moderate level physical activity, five days a week.  That could be something as simple as walking on a level surface for 30 minutes a day. "What I tell my patients is if they aren't doing that level of activity, they can start with as low as five minutes a day and build it up slowly," says Dr. Tahira I. Lodhi Take Advantage of Technology to Monitor the MOBILITY In helping your patients reach the goal of walking at least 30 minutes continuously, some technologies can help. An Apple Watch, for instance, will tell you when it's time for them to get up and do something.  Both the Apple watch and FitBits, when worn on the wrist, monitor the number of steps taken, prompts the user to walk, documents sleep, and in some versions analyzes heart rates. Managing Impairments that Reduces MOBILITY Some medications may have side effects that reduce MOBILITY. This goes true with patients who are on blood pressure medications. It would be best if you check on your patient and ensure they're not getting dizzy when they get up from a seated position. Because of all the risks,  secure the lighting for them to see clearly if they're using glasses, and they can walk around easily. Furthermore, teach and educate your patients about mobility devices if they're using one: these devices are their friends.  Part Two of 'The 4M's Framework: MOBILITY'. Assessment Care Providers Can Use to Gauge MOBILITY  There are several assessments that care providers can use to gauge an older adult’s mobility. Three of the commonly used tools are the Timed Get Up and Go, Fall Risk Assessment, and Home Safety Assessment.  Timed Get Up and Go The Timed Get Up and Go (TUG) assessment is a practical mobility performance-based test primarily used in older adults to diagnose mobility and balance impediments.  The test allows the patient to rise from a chair, move 3 meters to a target set on the floor at a comfortable rate, turn around the 3-meter marker, walk back to the starting position, and return to sitting in the chair. The test score is the duration it takes for the patient to complete the test.  Fall Risk Assessment The American Geriatrics Society and British Geriatrics Society issued guidance for clinical practice on fall risk screening, evaluation, and treatment.  The guidelines advise that all individuals 65 years of age and older be tested regularly for fall risk(s). This assessment involves asking patients if they have collapsed two or more times over the past year, have pursued medical treatment after a fall; or if they appear unsteady while moving if they have not fallen.  There is an elevated likelihood of declines among patients who react positively to these concerns and may undergo more evaluation. People who have fallen previously without damage must have their posture and gait assessed. Also, providers should do a further assessment of those with gait or balance abnormalities.   Home Safety Assessment As healthcare providers, your patient's home needs to be safe for them to move around.  To do that, it would be best for family members or caregivers to implement the following suggestions: Be sure that hallways, staircases, and ramps are well illuminated. Some rails and banisters can be used when moving up and down the stairs.  Never put scattered rugs at the base or top of the stairs.      Secure rugs and carpets to the floor such that they do not move as you step on them. Use double-sided tapes to fasten area rugs. Rearrange furniture to make way for unobstructed walking pathways.  Make light switches accessible by positioning them not so high.   Enhance overall home illumination. Wherever possible, add work lights and night lights. Use levered handles to replace doorknobs or install doorknob grips. In a high-contrast color, label differences in floor area with paint or tapes.  Remove any electronic wire and extension cables passing across or around walkways. Place electrical cords behind the furniture, if possible. To enable shifting from sit-to-stand smoother, swap precarious chairs with chairs that have strong sides. "Movement is important; it has something to do with how well you walk and your balance and strength. How well you can get around matters."   -Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FGSA, FAAN Intervene Effectively After completing mobility assessment procedures, follow up with patient-specific interventions to help older adults address modifiable risk factors and stay safe.  Here’s what you can do to intervene effectively; Refer your Patients to Physical Therapy  Physical therapy helps preserve the flexibility of older adults, whether treating long-term conditions or maintaining fitness and mobility. The aim of physical therapy is always to regain and strengthen functionality, minimize discomfort and enhance mobility. Suggests Personal Adaptive Equipment to Promote MOBILITY  Assistive devices cover aids like canes and walkers and sophisticated structures like computer applications and motorized wheelchairs. It's beneficial to consider this broad range of assistive technologies and choose what best fits your patient's needs.  Mobility devices that assist patients in moving or walking include:   canes crutches  tricycles walkers walking frames Also, having a medical alert system in operation can ease any burden on caregivers and families. This system immediately alerts family members or caregivers whenever something's wrong with the patient. Most medical alert systems provide functions such as an instant update if a fall is detected. Recommend the HELP (Hospital Older Elder Program) Mobility Change Package and Toolkit The Mobility Change Package and Toolkit was developed in collaboration with The Hospital Elder Life Program(HELP) and Health and Aging Policy Fellowship. It is a structure, blueprint, and step-by-step guide for executing a mobility initiative. The program contains a comprehensive toolkit, including mobility guidelines, instructions for monitoring and documenting mobility results, model patient brochures, target indicators, and accounts from platforms with valuable Mobility Programs. About Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FGSA, FAAN]: I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing ('96) and Master of Science in Nursing ('00) as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) School of Nursing (SON). I genuinely enjoy working with the complex medical needs of older adults. I worked full-time for five years as FNP in geriatric primary care across many long-term care settings (skilled nursing homes, assisted living, home, and office visits), then transitioned into academic nursing in 2005, joining the faculty at UNCW SON as a lecturer. I obtained my Ph.D. in Nursing and a post-master's Certificate in Nursing Education from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing ('11). I then joined the faculty at Duke University School of Nursing as an Assistant Professor. My family moved to northern Virginia in 2015 and led to me joining the George Washington University (GW) School of Nursing faculty in 2018 as a (tenured) Associate Professor. I am also the Director of the GW Center for Aging, Health, and Humanities. Please find out more about her work at https://melissabphd.com/.

Episode 1--Introduction and Looking Out for You Scott Imig scott.imig@newcastle.edu.au John Fischetti john.fischetti@newcastle.edu.au The purpose of this podcast series is to share, reflect and create opportunities for dialogue among school leaders around the world. We know that many of you are guiding transformation in your organizations and that the change process is being disrupted by the current COVID-19 reality. Most traditional school settings and the structures that serve them are in a state of massive disruption. If we choose to seize this moment, this chaotic time could lead to reflection, reconceptualisation and reprioritisation of the rationale for schooling in our society and provide an opportunity to think anew about where to from here. Transformative leaders may be able to use this time to revamp, recoup, regenerate and reboot the journeys of their organizations toward success for all in a hyper- interconnected world. Through these occasional audio and video podcasts, Scott and John will prepare the leaders of today and tomorrow for how we might use this time in our “new normal” to more effectively build a network of colleagues who are on similar journeys of evolving schools in our various parts of the world.

27 | Looking Out by James H. Cain

Just Maya and Pilar’s voices in today’s episode, and a single ‘voice behind the book’ segment: because this marks the official launch of Thinking Remote: Inspiration for Leaders of Distributed Teams. All these posts are curated from our own Virtual Not Distant blog https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/blog, and Maya selected the initial content following a thorough review. She specifically sought out the evergreen themes discussing principles which are broadly applicable across any team or workplace, and do not relate to tools or projects which are likely to date. The book has four sections: Laying the foundations for Remote work, Wellbeing, How are we doing? Looking Out. And, at the end of each of the 13 chapters there are some leadership reflections designed to get you thinking about the material and relating it to your own experiences and situation. So the book role-models the Virtual Not Distant coaching approach, and actually, it also role models the coaching mindset, which is so essential when running a remote team. This mindset is also reflected in the accompanying email series and follow-up course for the book, which is designed to help all readers get the material off the page and into their teams and organisations where they can make a difference. We look forward to your feedback and reviews, because everything we create is inspired by our community here, our podcast listeners and blog readers and social interactors. Everything worthwhile is a collaboration – and we worked with a great editor, Lisa, through Reedsy.com, Manuel did our cover, and Simon designed the interior of our print version, the e-versions have been done by myself on Vellum. Thanks also to Marija for being involved at a distance and thanks to Ross for putting this episode together, as always... To bring this book to you our readers, in as many formats and stores as we can - https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/books If you are having trouble getting hold of it or if you have any thoughts on it, let us know https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/contact-us

The Major Scale gives a wink and a nod to Tom Scott and some of his early work. Before Scott was topping the charts with music for Tom Cat, L.A. Express with Joni Mitchell, along with scoring for film and TV- Starsky And Hutch, Let's Do It Again, and Family Ties, he was a teenage prodigy who was signed to Impulse Records – the home of his hero John Coltrane among other legends. Although these first albums weren't as popular as his later releases, over the past couple of decades they've become fertile ground for sampling - Massive Attack, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Hieroglyphics and countless others have rearranged his work to great heights. We talk with the man himself about this phenomenon – easily one of our most entertaining conversations yet! SONG CREDITS FOR THIS EPISODE: THEME: Jazz Phantom by Chomsk' (from the album "Different Beats" on Magnetic Records). FIRST HALF:  Rural Still life #26 by Tom Scott (from the album "Rural Still Life" on Impulse Records). Milestones by Oliver Nelson (from the album "Live In Los Angeles" on Impulse Records). They Reminisce Over You by Peter Rock and CL Smooth (from the album "Mecca and the Soul Brother" on Elektra Records). Today by Tom Scott (from the record "Honeysuckle Breeze" on Impulse Records). With Respect to John Coltrane by Tom Scott (from the record "Rural Still Life" on Impulse Records). Looking Out for Number Seven, Woodstock and Trouble Me by Tom Scott (from the album "Great Scott" on A&M Records). Trouble Me by Joni Mitchell (from the album "Old Grey Whistle Test" on BBC/Asylum Records). Blue Lines (excerpt) by Massive Attack (from the album "Blue Lines" on Virgin Records). Sneakin' in the Back by Tom Scott (from the album "Tom Scott and LA Express" on Ode Records). ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE: Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!! The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources. The Major Scale can boast amongst it's guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals. Grace Kelly from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert talks about her pop-up/flash mob concerts. Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar. Produced in Central Florida, this program seeks to become one of the defining voices of this Native American art form, and everything else that finds itself under it's umbrella. Think about programming and content found on the likes of World Cafe, Philadelphia, PA. Tiny Desk from Washington D.C., and KEXP Live from Seattle, WA. and that's what the Major Scale strives to do. For the curious, and lovers of music who like the details in between. ABOUT KYLE EAGLE (Host): Kyle Eagle has been a contributing writer and producer for the NPR-WBGO, WUCF, WPRK, Wax Poetics, The Orlando Weekly, Artbourne, and The Fiscal Times, as well as several music and film releases- Light in the Attic's documentary "This Is Gary McFarland", and an upcoming film on composer Jack Nietzsche. Recordings- Call Me-Jack Wilson, Live at the Penthouse, Grachan Moncur III, Chico Hamilton, and Andy Bey. ABOUT CHRIS BARANYI (Producer): Chris Baranyi is a sound engineer and music producer. He splits his time between designing AV systems for theme parks and recording music. Chris has worked with many Orlando area musicians with backgrounds in jazz, fusion, hip-hop, funk, new age, and classical. Some of which have been featured on NPR's Echoes. His passion includes jazz, vintage microphones, and hot sauces.

In the scripture Dr. Sams examines with us on Vision Sunday, we learn a new Greek word: Kairos. Kairos represents events, deeper experiences instead of a measurement of minutes or months. Our culture is fascinated and driven by Chronos. Both words translate to English as "time," but Chronos is measured and finite. Think, "It's time to get in shape." Kairos. "It's 5:23 PM." Chronos. Kairos speaks directly to our vision for Bel Air. Listen and be reminded what God can do through us when we grasp how Kairos increases our availability to God.

This podcast is about LOOKING OUT from the FULL interview with Brandi Carlisle, with Frank Jenks. Greatness.

Looking Out for Número Uno fue el penúltimo disco de Roberto Roena con Fania, cuando ya Fania Records comenzaba a recortar sus divisiones. En otras palabras, Roena hasta entonces había firmado sus trabajos bajo el sello International, división internacional de Fania. Pero en 1980 todo lo internacional estaba pasando poco a poco a manos de Ernesto Aue, presidente del Palacio de la Música de Venezuela, quien distribuía el catálogo en todo el continente. Eran otros tiempos en los cuales Puerto Rico, precisamente cogía las riendas de esta música que antes estaba en Nueva York. Con entrevistas a Carlos Santos y Adalberto Álvarez hoy les vamos a contar toda esta historia y más en La Hora Faniática.

Looking Out for #1

Few artists can claim to have made a bigger impact on popular music than Randy Bachman, widely regarded as the “architect of Canadian rock ‘n' roll.” His renowned songwriting acumen produced “You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet,” “American Woman,” “Let it Ride, “Taking Care of Business,” “Looking Out for #1,” “No Sugar Tonight” and “These Eyes,” tracks that have become pop‐culture touchstones. One of the Great White North's favourite musical sons, Bachman co-founded iconic bands The Guess Who and Bachman‐Turner Overdrive, earning over 120 gold and platinum albums/singles around the world as a performer and producer, and amassing more than 40 million in record sales. He's also no stranger to garnering coveted #1 spots on radio playlists, having done so in over 20 countries. His accomplishments haven't gone unrecognized, of course. In addition to his induction into the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville, Bachman has the distinction of being the only one of his countrymen to be inducted twice into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, most recently alongside his fellow original Bachman‐Turner Overdrive members in 2014. A recipient of the Order of Canada, Bachman's overwhelming international influence and popularity was acknowledged in 2011 by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), in the form of the Global Impact Award. Despite all of his success, Bachman was determined to move forward musically, and in order to do so, he had to look backward, and revisit the glorious days of the ‘60s British blues boom. Using the amplified blues‐rock of Cream, Led Zeppelin and The Who as his blueprints, Bachman and a newly formed power trio envisioned his new album, Heavy Blues, as an explosive, raw reinterpretation of that music with a distorted, modern edge. We catch up with Randy Bachman #RandyBachman #BTO #Guesswho #slackermorningshow101thefox

In 2010 Katherine Fulton, President of the Monitor Institute, took a three-month break from her long and impressive career strategizing for nonprofit and entrepreneurial organizations. The time off renewed her and gave her insights into the challenges nonprofit professionals face in an increasingly fast-paced, demanding world. In this audio lecture, sponsored by the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Fulton advises those who labor in what she calls “communities of hope” to slow down in order to find the courage to reflect on the many uncertainties ahead. Her five recommendations, one of which is to love the challenges themselves, are practical, highly philosophical, and very personal. Katherine Fulton is a partner of the Monitor Group and President of the Monitor Institute, which is dedicated to helping innovative leaders achieve sustainable solutions to social and environmental problems. She has spent three decades catalyzing social change as a leader, strategist, teacher, editor, writer, speaker, and advisor. Fulton is the recipient of a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University and a Lyndhurst Foundation prize for community service, and is the co-author of several books, among them Looking Out for the Future: An Orientation for the Twenty-First Century Philanthropists and What If? The Art of Scenario Thinking for Nonprofits. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/leadership_in_an_uncertain_world
