However, he has harnessed those emotions to start Sandy Hook Promise (SandyHookPromise.org) that works to educate communities and school districts about gun violence and notify law enforcement through a tip line when a student or school is in danger. The work he is doing is literally saving lives. Mark also co-founded Arist for Action with Matthew and Neil, an organization that platforms causes for artists to easily promote to fans. Together, they put on major events to promote gun reform and are producing a documentary feature with major musical stars attached.

In Newtown geschah vor zehn Jahren das Unvorstellbare: Ein Amokläufer tötete in einer Schule 26 Menschen, darunter 20 Kinder. Zurück blieben eine traumatisierte Gemeinde - und Eltern, die zu Aktivisten wurden. Da ist etwa Mark Barden. Sein sechsjähriger Sohn wurde damals im Schulhaus erschossen. Bis heute quält Barden der Gedanke, dass sein kleiner Bub einsam und allein sterben musste - weil der Täter so leicht Zugang hatte zu einer tödlichen Waffe. Die Tat hat in den USA eine heftige Debatte über Waffengewalt ausgelöst. Präsident Obama reiste damals nach Newtown, während der rechte Verschwörungstheoretiker Alex Jones behauptete, der Amoklauf habe gar nie stattgefunden. Die Waffengewalt ist derweil zu einer Art Epidemie geworden in den USA: So viele Menschen wie nie zuvor starben 2020 durch Schusswaffen: gut 45 000. Schusswaffen sind bei Kindern inzwischen die häufigste Todesursache. Vater Mark Barden hat nach dem Tod seines Sohnes eine Organisation gegründet, die versucht, Amokläufe zu verhindern. Er engagiert sich vor allem in der Prävention. Schüler:innen und Lehrpersonen sollen Warnzeichen bei potenziellen Tätern erkennen und rechtzeitig Hilfe suchen. Zudem kämpft Barden - wie viele andere Menschen in Newtown - für schärfere Waffengesetze, ein schwieriges Unterfangen, weil Amerikas Konservative den praktisch unbegrenzten Zugang zu Schusswaffen für ein Grundrecht halten. In der Sendung kommen auch zu Wort: Teenager, die als Kinder den Amoklauf von Newtown überlebt haben sowie Matthew Crebbin, ein örtlicher Priester. Er versucht seit dem Amoklauf, den Schmerz in seiner Gemeinde zu lindern. (Erstausstrahlung: 11. März 2023)

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Chandler Vannoy are joined by Dave Milam who serves as the Vice President of Strategic Design at Visioneering Studios. With over 20 years of experience serving churches as well as non-profits, Dave brings a vast level of experience when it comes to helping people create places that not only look visually appealing design-wise but also educates on how your building can communicate your unique vision and story. They also discuss the unique challenges facing churches today when it comes to utilizing their meeting spaces and Dave shares how church leaders can take their space from where they are to where they want to be. BEST QUOTES “You should be able to look at a church and tell what they value. But you can also look at the building and know what they're trying to value.” – Dave Milam “I think the things that the American church values right now is very different than what we valued 20 years ago. The buildings we're living in right now were created 20 years ago. There is this tension that we're wrestling with where 20 years ago, we valued the Sunday morning experience where everybody came in and the building was designed to flip services so seats would be opened back up and parking spaces would free up as well.” – Dave Milam “We're great at saying stuff. But eventually you have to deliver on the dream that you just presented. It's great to say this is our value, but how does that value live itself out in the environment and the hallways?” – Dave Milam “A lot of churches are being very intentional about meeting places for conversation to take place. They usually have space for kids, they have the space for seating in the auditorium, but where are the people going to pause and have a 15-minute conversation? We want those to happen because if they can have those conversations, they are more likely to connect to a small group or go grab lunch with somebody. At that point, they are engaging with the church.” – Dave Milam “If you look at the most engaging environments in your community, a lot of times they have great engaging outdoor spaces. Whether it's the restaurants with the outdoor porch or the coffee shop, they are intentional about what's happening between the parking lot and the building. Those spaces, believe it or not, per square foot amount of money it takes to build those spaces are super small compared to the cost of building a new building. Double your lobby by being intentional about outdoor spaces.” – Dave Milam “One of the critical mistakes that we see lots of churches across the country making is that they have their building, and they're like, there's no possible way that this building could be cool or functional. So, their initial gut reaction is to build new, start over, and trash the whole thing. My favorite projects are the ones where we have limitations, and we get to create great space out of current constraints. Those end up being the coolest and most unique places.” – Dave Milam RECOMMENDED RESOURCES A Beautiful Constraint by Mark Barden and Adam Morgan Visioneering Studios

The concept of challenger brands is one that many strategists refer to time and time again. It's a concept rich with tension and white space - all the good things we love.

So this week on the show, we're exploring Mark's top 5 tips on overcoming beautiful constraints.

Dave Stachowiak: Coaching for Leaders In August of 2011, I started Coaching for Leaders as a small, side project. Ten years later, the show — and the community around it — have grown beyond my wildest expectations. In this conversation, my friend Scott Anthony Barlow of Happen to Your Career celebrates the 10-year anniversary of Coaching for Leaders by interviewing me about my journey. Key Points I originally started the podcast as a side project to support a future transition into academia. Three things that I focused on at the start that are still central today: useful conversations, audio quality, and consistency. Focusing on quality and depth of conversations is more valuable than trying to hit everything. I realized at some point that I needed to make an affirmative choice to grow the side project into a business. Although I had considered a transition away from Dale Carnegie for years, my actual departure was (ironically) a non-event. Behavior change is a painful but necessary step in the learning process. There are two ways to bring light into the world. One is to be the light — the other is to reflect it.

In today's episode of Critical Mass Radio Show, author Mark Barden, joined Ric live-streaming on LinkedIn to talk about his book A Beautiful Constraint and how its message can be applied now during these uncertain economic times.

For the past 20 + years- Mark and Adam and the crew at Eat Big Fish have been helping brands to think like challengers, unlock the pirates inside and overcome constraints. They also happen to be the themes of the books that they have written about brands, internal cultures, and innovation.This is a consulting company that believes in doing the research to back up and build its thinking, frameworks, and tools. In the episode, I talk to Adam and Mark about how EBF came into being, how it thinks and works, and the purpose and role of writing and publishing books.Given the moment, we give some time to a discussion about a book they wrote 5 years ago - called A Beautiful Constraint which is all about achieving things against the odds when resources and barriers are put in the way of success. It seems like now is a time when companies will find a myriad of barriers that can in the way of progress. Through fascinating examples and tools- EBF shows how these barriers can be overcome.

In this edition of the Means of Grace podcast, Kim Ingram and Jesse Enniss talk with three Western North Carolina clergy: Duncan Martin, Drew McIntyre, and Mark Barden.  Duncan, Drew and Mark tell anecdotes of moving day and getting ready to leave one parsonage and move into another one. Duncan and Mark are also PK’s (preacher’s kids) and reflect on experiences growing up.  They each remind us of the care that is given to families and ways that the transition can be made easier.  Usually it involves a sense of humor.  We hope you will enjoy this lighter edition of MOG as many people can relate these stories to their own experiences.

Als die Freiburger Musik- und Cellolehrerin Christine Löbbert und der US-amerikanische Komponist Mark Barden uns letzten Sommer im Seminar „Musikpädagogik und die Idee der Gerechtigkeit“ besuchten, standen sie mit ihrem Projekt noch ganz am Anfang. Nun sind es noch wenige Wochen bis zu den Konzerten des Bundesjugendorchesters mit Jugendlichen des Bildungs- und Beratungszentrums für Hörgeschädigte in Stegen. Gemeinsam werden sie in fünf Städten Beethovens 3. Sinfonie vortragen, die mit einer Aufführung des „Heiligenstädter Testaments“ verbunden wird. Gehörlose Schüler*innen werden in einer künstlerischen Form der Gebärdensprache einige Passagen aus diesem bewegenden Brief Beethovens vortragen, in dem er die soziale Isolation eines Schwerhörigen beschreibt. Mark Barden hat in Zusammenarbeit mit den Jugendlichen in Stegen außerdem die Komposition „the weight of ash“ entwickelt. Im ersten Teil unseres Gesprächs ging es u. a. um die Frage, wie Gehörlose und Gehörgeschädigte Musik wahrnehmen und wie Christine Löbbert ihnen einen Umgang mit Musik ermöglicht…

He describes what it was like working with big names in the industry and how he worked with them to elevate their brand. He explains how the Mindset, Method, and Motivation diagram works. Mark also discusses why people should adapt to new ways of living and consider dropping habits that made them successful when they were younger.       "When you fail to heed the call of your soul, you start losing energy for the work you are doing." - Mark Barden       Today on Mastering Midlife:   The problem he wanted to solve when he wrote his book. What challenger brands are and how their group helps them. Examples of constraints and how real companies solved them. Using your mindset to look at constraints as a blessing in disguise. Asking propelling questions and activating emotions. Journaling, meditation, and using Mark's diagram. How successful habits in your youth could also be your limitations today. How he looks into his life years from now. The consequences of not evolving in your midlife.     Mark Barden’s Words of Wisdom:   The game going forward is about the rules your soul sets for you, not your ego. Winning looks completely different when you're trying to figure out what winning for your soul looks like as opposed to what your ego looks like.       Resources Mentioned:   Middle Passage by James Hollis Beautiful Constraint diagram     Connect with Mark Barden   eatbigfish A Beautiful Constraint Book: A Beautiful Constraint         Get FREE Access to the Only 10’s Course   Are you struggling with knowing what, when, and how to focus your efforts to get things done?

During this 175th episode of “Marketing Today,” host Alan Hart interviews Wiemer Snijders, author, editor, and curator of the book "Eat Your Greens: Fact-Based Thinking to Improve Your Brand's Health." With an emphasis on a scientific-based, self-learning, Snijders brought together a collection of incredible people to share a variety of perspectives on topics around branding and marketing. Today on the show, Snijders focuses on the creation of the book, what it took to pull it together, and the insights from so many innovative thinkers, especially those that base their findings on scientific facts. Snijders explains the structure of the "Eat Your Greens" and why he wanted to structure it in an easily digestible way. He wanted to provide a means for people to quickly pick up the book, read some short, topic-based articles, and challenge them to dive into those topics further.  It's very much like "looking at a selection of painters from a certain period or style, and indulge on that, and exit a richer person." Snijders describes the setup to the book and the broad "briefing" for the book. He told people, "you can write about anything; you just have to back it up with facts."  The first chapter was designed to focus on the fundamental ways we make choices as consumers. How do you approach the reality that "about 40% of your customers are going to only buy once, in five years?"  How does that shape what we do in marketing?   Snijders shares about the importance of focusing on evaluating/growing that group of people.  "How do you actually measure effective advertising?  Snijders shares incredible insights on how to use the limited amount of time we have to share our messages. Highlights from this week’s “Marketing Today”: What was the reasoning behind building a compilation book? (01:48) How did Wiemer find and pick those that would appear in the book (04:24) An interesting answer to whether Wiemer has a favorite chapter. (06:31) Whom do we need to hear from next? (07:05) The 1st Chapter and "set up" for the book (08:25) The fundamental and well-established things in customer choice. (08:55) The "banana" visual of distribution. (13:41) Focusing on "Value-based" marketing (18:21) Why Wiemer focuses on "purpose" and "unique selling propositions." (22:54) Why the "Essence of Branding" is so vital. (28:10) Exciting insights into consumer purchasing behaviors (30:02) What opportunities does Wiemer see for marketers today? (32:09) Digging into the idea of "Creative Publicity." (33:27) What defines and makes up Wiemers past? (35:47) What personally drives Wiemer? (38:27) Wiemer's advice to his younger self. (39:58) Who should we follow or take notice of?

This episode focuses on Eli Saslow's story "Into the Lonely Quiet," which was about one Newtown family whose son was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. But instead of focusing on the reporting aspect of the story, as Gangrey episodes typically do, this episode is focused on the story's subjects and what it was like to open their lives up during a traumatic and horrific time in their lives. This is also the first episode of Gangrey: The Podcast that is told in story form, and not through straight interview. It's a complimentary audio piece tied to a written story that host Matt Tullis wrote for Nieman Storyboard. In this episode, Tullis talks with Mark Barden, the father of Sandy Hook victim Daniel Barden, Nicole Hockley, the mother of Sandy Hook victim Dylan Hockley, and Eli Saslow.

In this week’s episode of “Marketing Today,” Alan talks with Mark Barden, the San Francisco–based partner at eatbigfish — a marketing consultancy that coined the term “challenger brand” and that has helped clients like Audi, Sony PlayStation, Charles Schwab, and Callaway Golf transform their brands to achieve new levels of growth. Barden is also the author of “A Beautiful Constraint: How to Transform Your Limitations Into Advantages, and Why It’s Everyone’s Business,” and he has contributed a chapter to the upcoming book, “Eat Your Greens,” which will be published by the Account Planning Group as part of their 50th anniversary celebration. In the course of their discussion, Barden talks in great detail about the differences between challenger brands and disruptors, and he places them on a spectrum to better understand those differences. He also makes an observation about what challenger brands must do to succeed. “It’s all about animating a group of people to do their best work,” says Barden. “And that comes down to being clear on what your ideology is, what problems you’re trying to fix, what wrongs you’re trying to right in the world on behalf of the consumer, the beer-drinking public, the cellphone-using public, the burger-eating public. You’re trying to right wrongs on their behalf. And getting clear on that is really powerful. And that’s what ideology does — it fuels the relentlessness that you need as a challenger.” Highlights from this week’s “Marketing Today” podcast include: Barden talks about how he got started in the challenger brand business and the chapter he contributed (“Why Challenger Brands Matter in the Age of Disruption”) to the book, “Eat Your Greens,” which will be published next month by the Account Planning Group. (1:38) Barden on the difference between challenger brands and disruptors, the use of a spectrum analysis to better understand these brands, and how one defines a true challenger brand. (6:57) Barden explains how his views diverge from those of Byron Sharp. He also talks about the notoriety of the Scottish CPG brand, BrewDog, and how they used fame to overcome small budgets in achieving growth and success. (17:28) Barden makes a point about the importance of ideology (and how it’s similar to purpose). (26:03) Barden more fully explains the spectrum of challenger brands citing two examples: Southwest Airlines and Warby Parker. (30:41) Barden provides four tips for becoming a successful challenger brand. (40:11) Three brands Barden finds fascinating: Impossible Foods, Twitch, and American Giant. (46:36) In answer to the question, “What is the future of brand-building in the age of Amazon?” Barden observes that brands will have to find a way around Amazon while being baked into it.

Constraints can often turn out to be the stimulus for coming up with a more beautiful solution.Mark also observes that habits serve us very well – until they don't. It's important to know when habits need to be challenged in some way – to break “path dependence” and question our assumptions.“Character is deciding what it is that you want, and then waking up every day and making progress towards that goal. We don't have habits – our habits have us.” ~ Mark Barden
