Natalie Ortega takes us through her path of self-discovery in her spirituality. She was raised in the Catholic faith however, as an adult she reached a crossroads in her faith. And, so her journey began with the possibility of progression into a faith that she can reconcile with. Natalie, Lucia, and Emy also discuss Parker J. Palmer's On the Brink Everything: Grace, Gravity and Getting Old. Each of them gives their perspective on Life, Death, and Spirituality. Natalie also includes her ideas and notions about faith and doing it her way as she says below: “Specifically, reading On the Brink, allowed me to realize that it was natural if Christianity's Christology didn't square with my thinking, and similarly that it was okay if I took in tenants from other religious beliefs and philosophies and excluded the ones that didn't sit well with me. And although for decades I was irked that I couldn't quite say that my faith was strong, now I see that whether it is strong or weak is not necessarily the point. Even if its ebb looks like overturned mountain peaks and its flow is minimal progression, the idea is that embracing the process itself IS the PRIZE. That is the actual “progression”!

Episode 6: Tackling Terrorism's Taboo: Shame and the Proud Boys “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” It's been [ ] years since Jung wrote those words, and [ ] years since Dostoyevsky's shame and sin emerged in “Demons.” What can the threat assessment community and analysts themselves learn from shame? In this episode, I speak with Far Right analyst Matt Kriner, on shame as a human universal, and it's role in the recruitment and radicalization process.

My guest is my biggest role model, inspiration, and reason why I turned out the way that I am.

WARNING! This is assuredly NSFW! This week our heroes discuss the second half of the Audible "Audiobook" adaptation of DC/Vertigo classic, The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs. The guys are once again joined by resident Gaiman expert and sibling, Lithia. The group don't disagree this week, and come to the conclusion that the conclusion of this book should perhaps never have been produced. There's much less sibling arguing and much more collective yelling at the book, it's creators, and our stream audience. Our trio have no idea what to do most of the episode, as they're stumped (or at least Rance and Lithia are stumped) as to how this adaptation went from smooth to rough to RUFF RUFF between last reading and this one. Rance hammers on the fake Sandman theme a lot, Lithia watches a beloved franchise get farted on, and yes, Bob falls out of his chair. Is it shock? Surprise? Maybe just plain stupidity. Maybe all three! Tune in and find out. Finally, the gang have a blast recreating the audiobook's most outstanding feature. Disgusting ASMR style sequences of eating, drinking, and other... content. P.S. Thanks for joining us. You're very important to us, sweetie-pie. *************************************** THIS WEEK'S BOOK: The Sandman By Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs Find it here:https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Sandman-Audiobook/B086WP794Z?ref=mrq_aud_sndmn_pser1&source_code=MRQOR13307142003UG&device=d&&cvosrc=ppc.google.the%20sandman%20audio&cvo_campaign=1859944452&cvo_crid=449246324770&Matchtype=e&gclid=CjwKCAjwps75BRAcEiwAEiACMWONGm6uyZR6j9vAweWUjZs-1mVoiZkAYh1Cq_eYENOcgdGIyDSS8xoCOW4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds THIS EPISODE’S MUSIC: Our theme music is: “First Strike” Music by: Jacob Lizotte.

WARNING! Probably a majority NSFW! (Due to the nature of this week's recording, there may be a few minor audio glitches. We're working on improving our recording methodology. We're sorry for any issues. Please enjoy the episode!) This week our heroes discuss the Audible "Audiobook" adaptation of DC/Vertigo classic, The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs. They also invite their sister from the Same Mother, Sandman aficionado, Lithia. The group discuss various disagreements and agreements about what may possibly be one of the most overproduced pieces of content Audible has ever spewed forth. Our hosts get mad at each other for multiple reasons, because what else are siblings good for? Bob and Rance both act like content hogs, and speak over and interrupt their guest multiple times, but manage to keep the "well actually-ing" to a minimum. Bob hates the book, and makes no qualms about sharing that information, even though he can't really give a solid reason why. Rance praises the book, and makes no qualms about sharing that information, even though he can't really give a solid reason why. Lithia fangirls out about the book, and makes no qualms about being disgusted that she came from the same womb as Rance and Bob, even though the universe has no solid reason why. At the end of the day, everyone is just happy that Lith's husband decides to make a cameo because he wants his cold brew coffee, dammit. P.S. You rock. Keep going. You got this. *************************************** THIS WEEK'S BOOK: The Sandman By Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs Find it here:https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Sandman-Audiobook/B086WP794Z?ref=mrq_aud_sndmn_pser1&source_code=MRQOR13307142003UG&device=d&&cvosrc=ppc.google.the%20sandman%20audio&cvo_campaign=1859944452&cvo_crid=449246324770&Matchtype=e&gclid=CjwKCAjwps75BRAcEiwAEiACMWONGm6uyZR6j9vAweWUjZs-1mVoiZkAYh1Cq_eYENOcgdGIyDSS8xoCOW4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds THIS EPISODE’S MUSIC: Our theme music is: “First Strike” Music by: Jacob Lizotte.

Elizabeth Gilbert first became a sensation with her book; Eat, Pray, Love that was on NY Times Bestseller list for fifty-seven consecutive weeks! In 2015, Gilbert released Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. Leslie and Leslyn both loved the book and sent it to their loved ones to read and ponder. In this episode, Leslie and Leslyn share what they loved about Big Magic and the great tips that they took away from the book. They start the discussion with speaking about Elizabeth Gilbert’s vision, or her interpretation of her own ideas. It’s a story that Leslie and Leslyn think will stick with you through Gilbert’s amazing mastery of words.The foundation of Big Magic is this: all ideas are seen to be out in the open, an idea will come to you or whomever will best bring it to its completion. Leslie explains, if you do not choose to nurture and love that idea, the idea will leave you and go to someone else who will. Leslyn likes to think of this as being like the Gulf Stream that goes around the planet. To Leslyn, these ideas work like an invisible Gulf Stream, that moves around the atmosphere and at random will drop down into your mind. People can relate to this vision in the way that we all experience having an idea that seems to come out of the blue. Leslie continues this by sharing J.K. Rowling’s experience of coming up with the idea for Harry Potter while she was riding a train. J.K. Rowling explains getting this idea as, “it fell into her head”. Leslie sees this idea that Elizabeth Gilbert laid out like the scene in Finding Nemo, when Nemo’s Dad is riding the turtle’s back in the Eastern Australian current.To understand Big Magic and the vision of the book, it’s important to have a good understanding of Elizabeth Gilbert’s fundamental belief about ideas. Gilbert believes that ideas float around and will be presented to you. If you do not nurture this idea, it will find a home somewhere else. Leslyn explains this in a scenario often seen in the entrepreneur’s world. Ten people will wake up with a similar idea, six of those people will do absolutely nothing about, three will sit back and at least think about the idea, but only one will actually do something with the idea. In Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert gives a real-life personal experience she had with this belief. She speaks about an idea that left her and went to one of her friends who is also an author. Gilbert had developed an idea for a book but had to put this idea away because as life happens, her focus was needed somewhere else. Well over a year goes by before Elizabeth Gilbert is able to focus on this idea again. Gilbert finds out that the idea is gone, no longer residing with her. Elizabeth Gilbert goes to a conference where she talks with another author, Ann Patchett, who describes the project that Gilbert was working on almost exactly. Even more wild about the story, the two authors work out that around the same time that Elizabeth Gilbert had put the project away for later, Ann Patchett had started working on the same idea!Leslyn explains that this could be like simultaneous invention, which is when two people, that are unrelated, get the same idea around the same time. Leslie points out that this simultaneous invention, happens often in academia and you can easily get “scooped” by another person as the idea’s creator becomes the person who finishes it first. Leslyn, after reading Big Magic, shares she had a whole different sensation about the ideas that would pop into her head. As ideas pop into people’s head all the time, many people will get an idea and think that they couldn’t possibly go through with it. Leslie, as an entrepreneur, at some point decided that one of her ideas was something she could execute and ran with it. Leslie likes to think that falling into that line of work happened to her, not that she chose it. The CEO of Stitch Fix, Katrina Lake, also thinks this way as she didn’t make the decision to have a clothing company, it came to her in a multitude of things and she just followed that current.Leslyn continues the discussion by sharing a quote from Big Magic, “My fear always made predictively boring decisions.” Leslyn goes on to say that every single person has a creative element in their spirit, but this fear often holds people back from engaging in it. Leslie shares she often talks herself out of her ideas because she experiences fear in not being perfect. Elizabeth Gilbert says that you should only go through with an idea for the love of doing it not because it’s going to be perfect. A good enough novel, that is violently written right now, will always be better than a perfect novel, that is meticulously written never. Leslyn believes that fear and creativity need to both be present in our lives, but fear need to be strapped in the backseat, it cannot be the driver. This idea of perfectionism cannot stop you from doing, as perfect can quickly become the enemy of finishing or even doing something at all.This fear should not stop you from doing, Leslyn says that you are going to fail some things but that is the first step of seeing growth in something. Leslie shares experiences with her children in feeling the need to be perfect and in the phrase, “I can’t.” Leslie says the kicker with this is: parents never expect their kids to know something out of the gate. Parents expect their kids to fail, make mistakes, and learn. Parents can be very forgiving of these things in their children, but often are not forgiving of their own actions. We do not have that open mentality of allowing ourselves to also fail, learn, and eventually figure it out. The role of failure can play a big role in how creative we are. Leslyn shares another quote from Big Magic, about how it is important for us to forgive ourselves for failure. You have to find it in yourself to say it’s alright to fail. Elizabeth Gilbert sees this as we’re nothing but beginners. Even if you have fifty years of experience in a craft, you are still a beginner and always will be a beginner, as perfectionism, the idea of being simply perfect, never ever can exist. This role of failure can prevent you from doing a lot of things in your life, if you let it. Finding the value in the nuances of success is vital. Leslyn shares that courage comes to play in the idea of success. You must have the courage to fail, but also the courage to succeed in whatever it is you are doing.Leslie quotes Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic by stating, “One of the oldest and most generous tricks that the universe plays on human beings, is to bury strange jewels within us all, and then standing back to see if we can ever find them.” Leslie finds this to be an interesting way to look at ideas, it’s a very freeing attitude to think that an idea and the capability is already within yourself, you just have to find it. Leslie shares that even in her own company, she feels the immense pressure to be different and to do something that hasn’t been done before. In reality, it seems that almost everything has already been done, so she changed her mentality. If you interpret an idea that you think might have been done, and you do it in your own unique way, it will turn into something different. Leslie and Leslyn further explain this by giving the example of a musician covering a song. A musician covering another musician’s song can give a completely different feel to the same lyrics. This is because completely different creative energies are being placed into the words. We as people, do not have the same experiences, talent, or abilities as someone else. Meaning if we complete an idea, put the energy into that concept, our own version of that thing will emerge. Leslyn emphasizes that this is something that truly should be embraced in life.This week’s Try This at Home, is to really think about where you experience creativity in your own life. If you are one to hesitate because of fear, think of what you are truly fearing in partaking in that particular action. If you think you are not creative, we hope this episode has shown that we all have the ability to be creative. Creativity is defined so broadly and plays a big contribution to a life well lived!

It’s a small world! Liz and Sarah share an email from Kate Silver, the writer of the Spirit Magazine article “Turning Pink” that they mention in their American Beauties pitch bonus episode. Then they talk to writer Ben Acker about his new Audible Original, CUT AND RUN. The TV business is ever-changing, and more and more writers (like Ben and his writing partner Ben Blacker) are diving into the world of narrative audio. In The Mailroom, Liz and Sarah finally address a question that’s been on listeners’ minds. As the WGA dispute with the ATA continues, what are their thoughts on getting a new agent?

Do you sit all, or most of the day? Are you more tired, and sore after getting out of your office chair than you are after a workout? MEMIC’s Director of Ergonomics, Allan Brown, introduces listeners to the concept of how non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) can increase your overall health and improve safety on the job. Brown asks, “When you get to that elevator, do you really have to push that button, or can you walk up?” In this episode, host Pete Koch and Allan Brown explore how basic activities like walking, standing, stretching and even chewing gum can improve workplace ergonomics and employee well-being. Pete Koch: Hello listeners, and welcome to The Safety Experts podcast. Do you sit all day? Are you more tired and sore after getting out of your office chair than you are after a workout? On today's episode, we're going to discover the secrets of NEAT and how to make friends with your seat again. The Safety Experts podcast is presented by MEMIC, a leading worker's compensation provider based here on the East Coast. A new episode of the podcast drops every two weeks featuring interviews with leaders in the field, top executives, MEMIC staff and other industry experts. We discuss how safety applies to all aspects of our lives. I'm your host, Peter Koch, and for the past 17 years, I've been working for MEMIC as a safety expert within the hospitality and construction industries. What I realize is that safety impacts every part of each position that you have or even the tasks that you do. And from one perspective, safety can be seen as not doing something that can be dangerous. Simple cause and effect. If it hurts or it can hurt, then don't do it. This can be pretty easy, if the choice of the for the effect. This can be pretty easy, if the choice for the effect is immediate and the cause is obvious. The burner on the gas stove is on the fire's hot, don't touch the stove. However, we don't often recognize the effect a behavior can have on us, or that we are too susceptible to the effect of that behavior. So, another perspective on safety could be as an active choice to do something walk at lunch, use protective gear, learn more about the hazards you're exposed to, or stand instead of sitting for part of your day. These simple choices can positively impact you at work and at home. So, for today's episode, make friends with your chair again up your NEAT. How non-exercise activity thermogenesis can help you make friends with your chair again. I'm speaking here with Al Brown, Chief Ergonomist at MEMIC to better understand NEAT how to turn it on and the negative effect sitting has on us. Al's been with MEMIC for 15 years and has helped hundreds of businesses get a handle on ergonomics and the benefits of activity in the workplace. Al, welcome to the podcast. Al Brown: Thank you, Peter. Appreciate being here. Pete Koch: Very good. Al Brown: Correction there. I'm actually the Director of Ergonomics. I got a promotion. Pete Koch: Very good. The Director of Ergonomics. Moving from Chief Ergonomist to Director of Ergonomics, that's even better. Even better. But before we dig into that and figure out how our NEAT, how not NEAT our chairs are. So, tell me a little bit more about you at MEMIC and how you got to where you are, and how ergonomics fits in with your place here. Al Brown: Sure. Actually, I'm a physical therapist and that's an unusual person to find, probably in the insurance industry. Pete Koch: It is. Al Brown: In early on in my life as a physical therapist worked on site at industry, Bath Ironworks, L.L. Bean. And one of the one of the things we would do is if someone were injured, we'd walk back to the workspace and take a look at it and look to see if we could change, modify the job, reengineer it. Then we'd start treatment. It was a natural transition to a place like MEMIC, where they focus on workplace safety, specifically ergonomics. So, I became part of the team here and that's what I do now as I actually partner with industry. Go out, take a look at if they've got risks and exposures. Help them see those. Help them understand what might create or cause injury and things they might do to change those things. Pete Koch: Very cool. So that's it's an interesting path to get here, being a physical therapist. But I do see that's a great tie in to be able to take what you would find when you saw your clients as a physical therapist and see the connection back actually in the workplace now that you're here, at MEMIC some of the cause and effect; what you see as the presentation of the patient versus how where it came from, possibly in the workplace and how work and the non-work life contribute to some of the aches and pains that might be there. Al Brown: Oh, sure, it's a continuum. Rarely is it just something that occurs just at work and then it shuts off and punches out at that point and the person goes home. It's a different life. It's a continuum from work right through. So repeated behaviors unconscious behavior are things that are repeated 24 hours a day. Pete Koch: Yeah. And they can kind of catch up with us. Which kind of moves right into our topic today with that concept of NEAT. And so that the where I heard about it first is actually from a book that you turned me on to by Dr. James Levine titled "Get Up and Why Your Chair Is Killing You and What You Can Do About It". And you told me prior to the podcast that you had had the opportunity to see Dr. Levine speak at a conference on this topic. So maybe you could tell us a little bit more about what NEAT is and why should we care? Al Brown: Sure. Yeah, no it was one of those moments. I'm at a conference that was in Las Vegas at the National Ergonomics Conference, and James Levine was one of the presenters. He's an endocrinologist with the Mayo Clinic, had great credentials, has done a lot of research in this area, pretty extensive. You should when you look at the book and you go and you read through, what exactly did they really controlled for a lot of variables. But his premise was that he looked at non-exercise activity, thermogenesis. When you look at life, about 60 percent of our day is basal activity. Sleeping, sitting in a chair, really not moving much and that accounts for not much NEAT non-exercise activity thermogenesis. You're not burning much fuel doing those things. For example, sitting in a chair, it's only about 300 calories per day to do something like that. Then you have about 10 percent, which is the thermal activity from just eating. So, when you eat, your body actually burns fuel because it's digesting. So that gives you the last 30 percent of the day, which is this non-exercise activity thermogenesis which it can vary between people. You and I might have a 2,000 calorie per day difference. Just because you might be very active walking around, you're a farmer, you’re or you are a housekeeper, you are a manual material handler, you are a brick layer, whatever the case may be. And I might be sitting in front of a computer. And they've discovered that, you know, when you look at trying to control diet and all that kind of stuff, it really doesn't work that well when you're looking at folks that have type 2 diabetes and all those kinds of things, that's what sort of stimulated this research. And they realize it was more related to this need, this non-exercise activity thermogenesis. So, I began thinking, here we are in a world of technology that has crept into our lives and you know, what do we do less now? Pete Koch: Stand, act, be active, walk around. Al Brown: We don't move as much as we used to. So, if you think about it, those little micro movements throughout the day are part of that NEAT. And now we've decreased our NEAT. So, we begin to impact our health. Pete Koch: Yeah, I totally can see that. So that concept of, and even us standing when we did, we made a conscious choice to stand here today. And while we're standing, there's a lot of movement back and forth, side to side, one foot to the other. Moving our hands, moving our arms. But if you swap that out and you sit down at the table for dinner or you sit on the couch to watch television or stream Netflix or something, play a game, whatever that is. There's a lot less of that micro movement that would happen. So, you're burning fewer calories throughout the day. What's the connection between better health and burning more calories? Al Brown: Well, you're processing the food. So, when you consume food, it's kind of like think of a credit card. I always use a credit card analogy where you can use a credit card. You can eat but you got to pay it back. Pete Koch: At some point in time. Al Brown: And if you don't pay it back. You accumulate interest on that credit card, and it gets expensive and sometimes it can run away and get away from you. Eating. You can eat. But as long as the intake and the outcome are, are negated, you're fine. You can eat whatever you want as long as the activity level matches that. If the activity level is less than the intake, then you're going to accumulate interest, which is body fat. Things of that nature. And then with that, we know that there are risk factors related to it. Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, all those things that come along with higher risk factors which come along with obesity. Pete Koch: You definitely see that. And then there is also a health benefit in there. As I get to burn more calories, I'm more active, there's more blood flowing, oxygen moving around in my body. I'm going to be healthier overall because like any machine, the human machine, the more we can move and work, the better off we'll be in the long run. Things will stay tuned, we'll be mentally sharper, we'll be physically sharper throughout the day. So that helps us not only at home, but at work and play, whatever we end up doing. Al Brown: Well, yeah. You'll actually find, for example, you know, an example for the listening audience if you take a walk. Pete Koch: Yeah. Al Brown: And when you come back from the walk, you will have a bit of a euphoric feel, you'll feel good. You've released a little bit of an endorphin, probably not the level you would maybe if you were running or lifting, but you still get that endorphin plus you get that filtering of the systems in your body. You know, your heart runs a lot of the pressure within our body, so it moves a lot of your, your blood flow throughout. And again, if you think about it, we live in a world of gravity. So, everything always wants to go down to the feet. So, you need that return. And the return occurs by the heart, creating this positive pressure. However your muscles also contract when you're walking and moving, so your venous system which returns the blood flow back up to your heart from your feet are a system of one way valves and those valves open as the pressure pushes back up and pushes the fluid back up towards your heart and close as the fluid tries to move back down. So, the heart continues the pressure and there's a strain if you're not walking, but if you're out walking, the muscle contraction actually assists the heart. So, you’re actually cleaning the body. And when you clean the body, you get rid of a lot of the impurities. All the nasty stuff that when you sit just sits in your body. Think of it again, you know, I like analogies. You know me. Pete Koch: They're all good. Al Brown: And think of a swimming pool. Your body is like a swimming pool. The water in the pool is kind of like the blood your blood system. And think about the filter not running but having a lot of people swimming in it. And there's a lot of bacteria, dirt, all kinds of things accumulating in the pool, but it's not being cleaned out. And that's because things are static in the pool. That's very much like being static, sitting at your desk, standing at a workstation where you're not moving. Just lying down to get up and move or to, to change position, walk around, whatever the case may be is like turning that filter on and cleaning the pool out. Pete Koch: Right. Al Brown: So you get rid of those impurities. So that's what your blood system does. That's what your lymphatic system does. And your lymphatic system really does depend on you just moving. It doesn't really have a heart connected, a pump, so to speak. The pump is you. Pete Koch: Moving stuff around, cleaning it out. So, there is a connection in there, not only to overall health, but we can make a connection to even work productivity. Sharper thinking. Feeling better. Moving. Being able to move more freely throughout the day. Not being maybe as sore from repetitive activities. If I can clean the product of work out of the body through movement. Al Brown: Yeah, oh absolutely. Just getting up and moving is, think of that, here's another thing. If eating, if you eat, eat and have dinner, your blood glucose levels go up, you know. But if you go take a walk right after dinner, you can drop that glucose level. It's kind of like stirring it a little bit, like stirring the circuit a little bit. It's not all accumulated on the bottom. And you can drop your blood glucose levels by about 20 percent just by taking that walk. Yeah. Pete Koch: Yeah. Because you're using the fuel. You put fuel in, if I, if your body's in storage mode is just going to store it. If you're active and you go out to use the fuel that you put in as it's being processed, then you don't need to store it. You're actually burning through it. Al Brown: Correct. Pete Koch: Awesome. So, let's talk about the issue that Dr. Levine is targeting here. Is sitting, being the biggest, or one of the biggest challenges to health overall in the United States and a big challenge to our workers. So, I'm going to ask you the question here, is sitting really as big a deal as Dr. Levine makes it out to be? Al Brown: The short answer is yes. The longer answer, which I always will have, is the when we use the number 11 hours, 11 hours of sitting. And the question is, do you sit for 11 hours a day cumulatively? So collectively over the day. If you think of your day, do you spend eleven hours sitting? If you do, your risk factors, your health risk factors go up exponentially. You begin to have the same risks and exposures as someone who smokes fairly heavily. Pete Koch: Wow. Al Brown: And we're talking not only type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and those types of things, we're even talking about breast cancer. So, the risks go up if you sit, if you start to close in on 11 hours a day. So, what can you do to make differences? So, you know, in this technology creep that we're looking and I call it technology creep, because what happens is more and more things we do are related to the computer from, you know, shopping, getting your media content, setting up meetings. I don't have to go down and talk to someone at MEMIC, I can send them an e-mail, or I can text them. So, we, you know, we move less. So, with that technology, we sit more, and we creep towards that 11 hours of inactivity. Pete Koch: Sure. So a lot of the times, you know, you go back 20, 30 years and sitting wasn't as, it was common, it was something that we looked to for more relief to get kind of take a break, get off our feet. But we sit more than we think. So, within the book, there was an interesting set of questions, a quiz that Dr. Levine posed the sitting that the chair quiz to see how comfortable you are with your chair. Al Brown: Did you pull it out of the book? Pete Koch: I did, I pulled it right out of the book. So, we're going to take that quiz, right, So I'm going to ask the question. And then we're both going to keep track in our head of yes and no questions. Al Brown: OK. Pete Koch: So if you answer yes, you get a point. If you answer no, you get no points. Al Brown: Okay. Low score wins, right? Pete Koch: Low score wins. Al Brown: This is a game of golf. Pete Koch Kind of and I'm really bad at golf. Al Brown: But that ups your NEAT, if you don't take the cart, walk around. Pete Koch Yeah. All right. Al Brown: Opportunities. Pete Koch: It does. OK. So, the first question. Pete Koch: Number one, do you work seated at a chair? Al Brown: Oh. Pete Koch: Got it. Al Brown: I do. Pete Koch: All right. So, I think I'm going to have to give me a one there. Al Brown: Aha, me too. Pete Koch: Most of what I do, although a lot of what I do is standing whether I'm doing a training or I'm going to do, I try to have sometimes meetings with people when I get to get up and walk around. But a lot of the work that I do is going to be in a chair. Al Brown: So you find opportunities to up your NEAT? Pete Koch: I do. I try. Al Brown: Because you're cognizant of that sitting. Yeah and driving. We drive a lot. Pete Koch: Oh, my gosh. We drive all the time. And that's another place where, you know, if I go back before I worked for MEMIC, the job I had wasn't travel based. So, I spent a lot more time on my feet in the transition between that and a more sedentary job was very challenging for me. I mean, it's taken me quite a while to sort of overcome that and figure it out. So, number one is the, have you worked seated in a chair? I'm going to give myself a one for that. So, number two is, have you ever shopped on the Internet? Pete & Al: Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. I have. Yeah. Guilty. I have to give us a one on that one there. Pete Koch: So do you watch, number three: Do you watch TV or a streaming service while seated for an hour or more a day? Al Brown: Oh, geez. Yes. I watched Netflix last night. Pete & Al: Netflix, Amazon Prime. Also, YouTube. Holy cow. Yeah. Yeah. And sometimes you get there on and only watch it for a little bit. Right. Yeah. Yeah. You got to turn the auto play off. That's right. Yeah. And then you're the you know, the cliffhanger. You got to go to the next episode and all a sudden, it's three hours later. Right. Yeah. But I pull the plug at two hours sometimes. Yes. Pete Koch: OK. Number four. Do you ever eat while watching TV or in the car. Pete & Al: Oh yes. Yes. Yeah. So, I'm going to have to I'll say no to the television, but I'm going to have to say yes to the car just because the car for me. Television we don't snack or, you know, maybe a cup of tea, coffee. Sure. That's it. Have, have you ever Internet dated. Al Brown: Interstate dated? Pete & Al: Internet dated. Internet, no. I'm going to have to give us both a 0, A big 0. Sure. Computer didn't exist when I met my wife. Pete Koch: Yeah. Number six, I think. Do you own a recliner? Pete & Al: No, I do not. I don't either own recliner. Very good. Pete Koch: If you go to a party, do you seek out a chair or a stool? No. Is that because you don't go to parties or because you don't seek out chairs or stools? Al Brown: I'm typically not invited to parties. No, I don't. I tend to stand just because you end up, you get engaged in the conversation. It will be like this where I am probably more comfortable standing and talking. Pete Koch: Yeah. So, me to. I'm the same, same there as well. So that's going to be a zero. And then at if you look at your sofa, does it have an imprint of your butt in it. Al Brown: No. Pete Koch: Is that because it's new? Al Brown: No it's old, and it doesn't have an imprint. Doesn't, I don't spend a lot of time there. And change position all the time. Swap the cushions. Right, go back and forth. Depends on whoever wants the light to do an activity while watching TV, they get that side. Pete Koch: So this, this question might apply more to millennials than you and me, but I still think it's an important question to ask, especially in this day and age. So, do you spend more time with friends electronically than in real life? Pete & Al: No, I do not facetime, text, and all that. I talk directly to them. Try to go see him. Yeah. Pete Koch: And the last question. Have you ever fantasized about just sitting? Al Brown: I was on top of Katahdin once and I was been walking for 8 hours. I guess you could say I was fantasizing about just sitting sown just sitting down to give my hips and legs a break. But no, not typically. Pete Koch: Yeah. Not typically either. All right. So, let's total them up. So, we've got one, two, three, four. So, we have four totals. And then the possible last one could be five. So if we total this up in one point for each answer and for those of you who are, who are doing this quiz with us on online here, for if you have zero, then you don't need to read Dr. Levine's book. You're good. You don't have a great relationship with your chair. And you can just keep on going. If you got two, one to two, you are considered a chair pre-addict. Hmm. Three to five. He gives us a Chair Addict. So we are, we are smack dab in Chair Addiction Al, because we're at 4. Al Brown: Time for rehab. Pete Koch: Yeah, and six to eight, then you're in the Chair Imprisoned. And if you have hit 9 or 10, you are a Chair-a-holic. Yeah. Al Brown: Ouch. Pete Koch: Yeah, ouch. Wow okay. So relationship with your chair, we've talked some about like the body's response to not sitting at a biological level, so the cellular level, how the heart works in cleaning it out, and our endocrine system. But what do you see when you start talking to other workers or go into different businesses about the physical effects of sitting in those people? So, what do you see? Al Brown: Well, you know, I see musculoskeletal changes, you know, changes in their, in their body. Muscle length, muscle tightness. For example, when you sit down your hip flexor, the muscle on the front side of your thigh. And it starts at the front side of your thigh, kind of right at the bottom where your pocket is, and it passes through your pelvis and attaches to your lumbar spine. So, it kind of goes right through your pelvis. In a sitting position that muscle is in a shortened position. So, if you sit for an extended period time and what happens to muscles if they are in a position for a long period of time is they begin to adapt or if they're short, they shorten to that position. If you ever stretch something, it'll overstretch in the other direction. But in this particular case, your hip flexors, your hamstrings, which are the muscles on the back side of your thigh because your knees are bent will also shorten. You will oftentimes when you're sitting, you will tend to, the head will come forward a bit. Or you may recline. But in any case, you'll shut off your core muscles, particularly the front core muscles, your abdominal area, your back muscles will actually, your upper shoulder area, will get overstretched and lengthened. If they're chronically lengthened and overstretched, that can lead to a condition called fibromyalgia or myofascial discomfort, which is connective tissue that is constantly under strain. Very difficult to recover from that simply because you have to either you have to shorten it, but that means contracting this irritated tissue. So, it's a very difficult thing to kind of change back. So those, those muscles in your body and to your chest area tends to close down because everything's in front of us. So, you, and those impact us. So, when we go to stand back up and those muscles are short, they change the mechanics of standing. So, if you think of us as a game of Jenga, we begin to start knocking some of those blocks out of position. And instead of a nice stout stack of blocks that are well-organized, the tight muscles begin to pull us forward or begin to flatten our back. We begin to lose our lumbar curve. We begin to have shortened hamstrings with knee pain. And that's all because of that prolonged static sitting posture. Pete Koch: So there's a musculoskeletal change that happens from sitting all the time. And when that occurs. So, what does that what does that look like, like when you talked about it, it changes the mechanics of how we stand back up. But if you've been sitting for a long time, that's your habit. Let's say that you took the quiz and you're in that chair imprisoned or chair-a-holic. Like most of the stuff that you do, I sit at work. I spend a long time in the car commuting back and forth or on the bus or in a plane. And then I'm at home and I am doing work at a computer at home, or I'm exhausted when I get home. So, I just like to sit on the couch and play a video game or stream movies. So, I'm seated for eleven hours or more a day. What is it? What does it look like in a person? Like, what do you physically look like? Al Brown: Well, you, you know, one of the things I didn't mention in that that little list on the front side is the, you will tend to lose some of your muscle mass around your buttock area, your gluteus medius, gluteus maximus. Those are sort of your hip area. So, things you'll see, you'll see sort of a forward posture flattened back. But when during a gait, if someone's walking, you will see what we call in the medical world a Trendelenburg gait and the Trendelenburg gait, you have to realize that when you stand on your right hip, you weight bear on your right leg, your muscles on the right side of your hip contract tighten and they lift your pelvis to keep your belt, let's use the belt as a reference point, level with, with the earth or slightly elevate it. The left side so that the left leg can move through. And then when you weight bear on the left side, the left side contracts, lifts and brings your right leg through. So, your upper core, your upper body stays pretty vertical. When you've been sitting for a long time and you've lost that muscle mass on those hips, you will see people wobble. So, you'll see their head when they weight bear on the right, their head will shift over on the right hip to assist that muscle that's weak and bring their leg through. So it's sort of a wobbling gait when they're walking and you realize that person probably has got a lot of weakness in their hip areas, which will eventually lead to hip pain, which will probably eventually lead to total hip replacement, which really doesn't solve the problem. Pete Koch: It doesn't. Al Brown: Because we're just taking care of the joint. We haven't taken care of the strength of the core and the pelvic floor and that hip musculature. Pete Koch: So it's really a long-term effect. Like we could have some short-term acute effects. Like well for example, when I get out of a car, if I've been sitting in a car for two, sometimes three hours, though I try not to do that anymore. I'm sore like my hip flexors are tight, my low back is tight, my shoulders are tight, and it's because within the car I am like you said, my hamstrings are shortened, and my hip fractures are shortened and head forward in my posture. And I'm in that single position for a lot of that time. Even if I do try to move, I can't move as much as I want to or should, and I'm sore. So that acute change for us or the acute effect is some short-term pain which can be alleviated with movement. But the long-term effects is what you're describing is that there could be the long term effects of that constant sitting is loss of muscle mass and eventually some degradation into the joints that will support because we're not ergonomically functioning the way we're supposed to anymore. Al Brown: Correct. And you know, again, it's that if you go back to the premise of art or talk today, which is NEAT, we suddenly begin to change or reduce that NEAT. And it does have those cardiovascular impacts that we talked about earlier button. But the physical effects are also right there. So, and then those two tend to feed off each other. And if you think about it, we really depend on independent movement of our body around the earth, so to speak. So, we're slowly painting ourselves back in a corner of inactivity. If you've ever seen the word the movie, Wall-E. Pete Koch: Yes. Al Brown: You know, where humans basically were chair bound and they really had no course. They couldn't stand up. And the little robots had to do everything for them. Think about that. And where we're heading. Pete & Al: We're getting there. We're developing robots. Yeah. Help us do those things right now. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Pete Koch: Okay, so lots of effects there for long-term sitting. And we've, we went through the quiz. We've talked some about what we already do. What are some, you know, when you go to a workplace, what are some areas where you find people seated for, for long periods of time? Al Brown: Well, we try to one first introduce this concept of because again, not everybody understands NEAT and understands the basis for, I might come in and say, you know, let's do job rotation or, or let's take a stretch break. And people think of that as "stretch breaks don't work" and, or let's collaborate, let's in an office setting might encourage folks to go and receive somebody that's come to the front office that they're going to meet with back as opposed to just, you know, "send 'em in" type thing. So, you're encouraging that movement, but you have to get them to understand that foundation on the front side of why we're doing this. If you look at the transition of our office over the last five to six years, you've seen an office that was static, cubicle driven. Stay inside that cubicle. You had a six or a 10 by 10 space and that was your space. And typically, you didn't leave it to more open space, more collaborative space. Rooms that you can go to, desks that go up and down. So, we try to encourage industry to look at those kinds of solutions where you're encouraging movement throughout the day. It's funny because one of the when James Levine was down in Vegas doing this presentation, there were about 400 vendors and probably 350 of those were dynamic desks. Or as we may know, most people know them as standing desks. So, the perception was that, oh, let's just stand up at work. And in fact, that's, that's an OK thing. And it's great because it takes those sore muscles like you dealt with in the car, and it allows you in the office to change frequently and again, if you look at Harvard, the T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Jack Dennerlein, Nicolaas Pronk, a lot of those folks that have done some of the work down there, they you know every 30 minutes stand up, 30 minutes sit down. And about half the day up, half the day down. It doesn't solve the physiological issues that Levine is talking about. And he's not saying stand up and that'll fix the problem. That is, I call it a three-legged stool. And we look at wellness. One is you sitting. We're going to have to sit. That's here. Computers are here. We're not going to change that. Two, given the opportunity to change position by, and allowing, like you in the car. Let you get up, stand, move, different position, put the muscles, reset the body. And then three of that stools, that third leg is “Go Move”. Don't work through the stretch break. Don't eat at your desk and continue the work. You take a walk. Same thing even in a manufacturing facility. Some folks will get up, but they'll go and sit down in the cafeteria and eat and then go back and sit right back down and do what they're doing. This, an example this morning, just myself personally, I realized this conversation is coming up today and I said, Gee I get my cup of coffee. I go out. I sit in the chair and I look out at the lawn. And today I said, no, I'm going to walk around the lawn drinking my coffee. So that's what I did. So, I just took that opportunity to up my NEAT. So, we try to find those wind, but you really have to educate folks on the front side why we're doing this. Pete Koch: I would agree with that totally, that the why around movement is important. And I think also identifying all of the, all of the times when we're not active like, well, we're almost either required by a particular task or by a job or we are requiring ourselves through habit to stay in one position and helping people identify those, those times throughout the day when you might be approaching 11 hours in the chair or even eight hours in the chair is quite a bit of time to think about that throughout our day and then the more we can be active. I like that connection, that three-legged stool, stool, sit, stand, move. So basically, you can have two different positions that you need to swap between the two all day. But even if you're just sitting and standing and changing your position at your desk for eight hours, it's not going to be as beneficial to you if you get up and move through a break to do something else.And the standing piece too, just as a sidebar. The fidgeter is going to have a higher NEAT level than the non-fidgeter. And you yourself know, are you a fidget or not a fidgeter? You know, I mean, you wiggle back, and I mean, we're here having a conversation. Pete Koch: I'm totally a fidgeter. Al Brown: And I'm on the right hip, then I'm over on the left hip. So we're fidgeting. And when folks stand, we really try to encourage them that when you're standing, don't just stand, you know, move back and forth, bend your leg. Do toe raises, you know, do anything that kind of creates actual contraction muscle movement in the lower stretches. Because, again, remember, it assists that feedback loop of bringing fluids back up to the heart and filtering the system. So, anything you can do along those lines are going to be beneficial. Pete Koch: Yeah, that's great. So, we're going to take a quick break and we'll come back with Al to talk a little bit more about NEAT and then discuss some potential solutions that we have and our ideas for the workplace. But we'll take a break and we'll be right back. Pete Koch: Welcome back to the Safety Experts podcast. Today, we're talking with Al Brown, director of ergonomics at MEMIC. So, let's jump back in with more questions right away. So, let's get back to I have a sedentary job. I'm going to drive a lot. I'm going to sit at my job, and I enjoy at home just being still. So fine, I’m going to sit there, but I'm going to try to work out. So, I'm going to after work, I might go to the gym and work out for an hour. High intensity workout. Going to sweat a lot to get a lot of steps in and get my heart rate up. I feel really good afterwards. But how much is that really combating the long term sitting for that day? Al Brown: Unfortunately, it's not combating it much. They actually coined the term, I think it was in Australia or New Zealand, the active couch potato. And I'm just as guilty as you because necessity sometimes dictates my life in terms of drive a certain distance to do my job. And then, you know, generate reports or whatever the case may be. So, I'm sedentary. So same, I feel like I need something. So that pill I take is the walk, the run, the lift. And unfortunately, we do that in a short window of time. And in that short window of time, we you know sweat like you said. But then when we're done, what do you do? We sit down for dinner or then Netflix or whatever TV. Pete & Al: Fantasize about that chair. I just want to sit down. I'm tired. Al Brown: So it doesn't, it negates. Now, granted, you are creating a good muscular musculoskeletal system. You're strengthening your muscle tone and you're getting some muscle memory back. All those things are good. So, don't stop your workout. That's important. What you want to do is find strategies to add activity throughout the day. If you go back to James Levine's research and I encourage you all to kind of go back and look at that, because, you know, it's interesting. When he did his presentation out at the National Ergonomics Conference, he never stood still. He moved constantly and he did it purposely. And we're talking, you know, a room with 200 people and that he just raced around the whole time making his point. But what you want to do is in his research, he looked at folks that were lean, that had low risk factors actually moved, and again this was a very comprehensive study, two and a half hour, two and a half hours more a day. And that's not I'm going to go out and run for an hour. And then I'm going to go work out for another hour and then do something for a half hour. These were little tiny increments. These were 10-minute increments throughout the day where I'm going to walk down and go get a cup of coffee at the corner. I'm going to walk over and get some lunch. I'm going to walk here and collaborate. So collectively, and those things to a certain extent are unconscious for a lot of folks. You have a lot of folks that will not leave their chair, and that's unconscious, too. They don't rule our subconscious. They just don't realize they don't move. So, you have to try to find strategies that get you, and again, there's apps and all that kind of good stuff, but it's a behavior change. So, if you are locked in and you don't really think about, it's easy to push that button for the elevator and skip the stairs. Going "I don't want to do the stairs", nobody's watching and no one really cares. It's your body, it's you. It's your physiology. You would think you should care. Pete Koch: Yeah. Al Brown: Because it's the quality of life down the road. So, you begin to try to find those strategies that get you to move more. Park across the parking lot. Don't park close. But park far away. When you go to the store in the weekend, park further away, protect the car doors. Don't get into the whole mess. I got to get close to the door. I have to laugh, we have a large outdoor retail store up in the Freeport area and I see a lot of people circling, trying to get as close to the door, and meanwhile, it says "Outdoor hiking, camping, store" I'm thinking. Pete Koch: Yeah, exactly. Al Brown: Park further away! Pete Koch: You can do it! You can do it! Al Brown: So it's one of those things that you have to find those opportunities, be it at work. And again, management has to support that, too. Pete Koch: Sure. Al Brown: You know, if you have a management style that says if you're not at your desk, you're not working everything else is going to fail. You need that support at the upper management level that says, "I want folks to move and change." And what they have to realize is by allowing that you re-oxygenate the body, you rejuvenate the body. Instead of getting that 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon "logy-ness", you come back, and you know, you produce a letter or you know manufacturing, you don't stick your finger someplace where it shouldn't be. You're fresher. So again, I go back to the analogy of, you know, if I had, if I drove a truck for work and I said I don't have time to rotate the tires and change the oil and I make more money if I just keep going. Eventually I'm going to see the engine sort of burst into smoke and the tires fall off and major repairs. Oh, my gosh. Where if I take that time to actually do preventative maintenance and service it, I just keep chugging along and keep producing. So same thing with a human being. We're no different. We're a mechanical system within the world of gravity that we need to take time and sort of refresh ourselves, reset ourselves, and the benefits outweigh themselves from, you know, from staying at the desk. I mean, get out. You move around. You've come back actually are much better at what you do. Pete Koch: Those are really good points. And in some cases, I think it could be easier for someone that has a job at a desk or has a job in a place where they are allowed to get up. What about some of those positions, like a truck driver, like someone in manufacturing who literally is measured on production. I've got to get X amount of pieces out per day or I'm order picking or I'm doing something else. What are some strategies for someone who has a job that's based on the amount of time that they can actually do the job? What are some things that they can do to up their NEAT? Pete & Al: Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Now in order pickers got probably a lot of NEAT. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Al Brown: It's like a mail person that, you know, walks and delivers mail. I think, I always thought the fantasy job would be to do that because you are, you're shooting the breeze, you're talking to people and you're walking and you're delivering mail. Of course, you're hanging it off one shoulder, so you have to change it every so often. But for those folks like the truck driver, again senior management has to support, let me pull off and take a stretch break occasionally. But, even then, truck driving is one of those tough things that you just, it's time, money and get down the road and you can't get up out of the seat to, to move around. So, when you do get out of the truck, first of all, I have to be very careful, because when you're getting out, you don't want to jump down. A lot has changed physiologically like you and I talked about earlier in the cast. So, you have to get yourself down safely. But when you're on the ground, then you reset and then you take time and opportunity to kind of move around 10, 15, 20 minutes. Don't just go and sit down somewhere else. Actually, take a walk around the rest stop, take a walk around the truck, give yourself some time to kind of recover. Then back into the truck and then next stop, same thing. Find those 10 to 15-minute opportunities to just walk around and lengthen your body and kind of get things going. And you certainly should be someone that when you get home, you go for the walk. And go, don't rush it. Just take your time. Pete Koch: Nice and easy. Al Brown: A nice, slow walk through the woods is better than a quick run. Pete Koch: Yup. Al Brown: Because again, it's going to be that slow burn that's kind of important. You know, in, in Maine, you know, we have long summer days, you know. So instead of our mindset sometimes is, oh, it's, it's four o'clock end of the day, or four-thirty or five o'clock end of the day and we tend to get home, you know, where we still have sunlight. Pete & Al: Habits. Yeah. Its habits. Al Brown: So extend that time, extend that time. Go out and do something, mow the lawn, go out and garden, go out and find those opportunities where if, you know, you're restricted like a truck driver, you have to find those on the other side. Now, if it's manufacturing or something like that, again, getting folks out to take a walk at lunch, take a, you know, get them to understand the value of resetting. Job rotation. You know, have them go move to a different job. Pods, if they have a pod and they have three machines, I worked with an auto manufacturing, that you know they're at this pod and then they move over to this pod. So, it's allowing them to move and use different muscle groups. But they're moving. It's again, it's that sort of getting the body to move. Pete Koch: And that can fit into the lean manufacturing concept. And also, really, when we're thinking about the workplace, regardless whether it's truck driving or whether it's manufacturing or if it's the office space or it doesn't matter what it is, we're looking at that concept of as a, as an employer, I need to look at my workplace from a productivity standpoint. But also, to maximize the productivity, I also have to keep in mind how well my employees can move within the workplace to up their NEAT in order to maintain their productivity. Because a worker that is able to move more freely throughout the day, to, to bring more blood and oxygen to those muscles and those muscle groups will be more productive throughout the day, not just in the morning when they get there or in the evening when they first get to work depending on their shift. Al Brown: Correct, yes. Pete Koch: So it's a more, not so much a holistic concept of it, but it's really looking at how we, we take the workplace and we can help the worker be healthier within the workplace. Yeah, those are all interesting concepts. Al Brown: Plus lower injury rates, too. I mean, because, again, that static, not moving posture, you know, and doing repeated tasks, you know, those are where we see high injury rates. So, the movement within this does improve the wellness of the worker, but it also reduces the risk and exposure to those types of injuries we see in a work environment. Pete Koch: Sure. Now, how about the fidgeting part? Like so I you know I was thinking about that truck driver. When you were talking about the truck driver and I've you know, I've got a long road to go, heavy traffic sometimes. There’re not many places, depending on where you're traveling, that you can pull off a big rig someplace safely and get out and wander around so I can fidget help within? Al Brown: I think, I think it was Levine's book. He said chewing gum is, you burn more calories chewing gum than you do actually sitting at a computer. So, if you're driving, chew some gum. Pete Koch: Chew some gum. Al Brown: Yeah, those types of things. You know, I have a gripper that I keep in my vehicle that I'm actually sitting. And I'm constantly working on gripping because my hands, you know, I used to do a lot of manual work and I lost a lot of my hand strength. So, I said, I've got to improve my hand strength. So, I just picked up a little gripper that I keep. And when I get to a stoplight, you know, instead of looking at my text or phone, I don't do that. I pick up my gripper and I, I do a couple repetitions. So, exercise bands, they sell those nowadays. You know, great, you can throw them in your suitcase if you travel or you're in the truck. It doesn't take a lot of space. You can take them out, do a little exercise. We're working with a company now that does every time, they get to their third stop, they come out and do three movements and three stretches, three sets or one set. So, it's sort of integrated into one, their job performance they're expected to do it. And two, you know, they that it just becomes almost routine or habit for them. So those are the kinds of things you want to do is sort of change. Really have to take a critical look at your, it's like anything else, a critical look at your behaviors. You know, it's like money. Again, if you go back to if you don't know where you're spending your money, then you'll be struggling with money for a long time. You really have to look and be critical of where I spend every dime. And OK, now I'm going to start doing these things to save money. Same thing with your NEAT, which is even more important because I am going to tell you, your health is more important than your money. And you know, so you really need to take a critical look and be honest with yourself. And then also when your kind of trying to up that NEAT, be honest with yourself. When you get to that elevator, what do you really have to push that button, or can you walk up? And it's going to be harder. But in the long run by up in your NEAT and lowering your risk factors, you're going to feel a lot better later on and compressing your comorbidities and life, those aches and pains and cardiovascular type things. Pete Koch: Those are all really great points Al for that. And I think the bottom line for us as we close out the podcast today is that kind of understanding first, looking at our habits, understanding where our NEAT level is right now, and then what are we going to actively do to increase that throughout the day? So, the overall, like you said, the slow burn movements that we have. So, don't stop those high intensity activities that you might have outside of work or outside of your relaxation or other activities. But look towards what can I do to increase my activity in between or during some of those more sedentary tasks or jobs that we have. Al Brown: Exactly. Pete Koch: Awesome. So, thanks again today.

Any final comments for our listeners out there today? Al Brown: Pete? No, thank you for the invitation. It's one of those things, you know, find those opportunities to improve, improve your NEAT. I'm an exerciser. I'm an active couch potato. And I still need to find those areas, places where I can improve my NEAT. You were very good today by, I was walking towards the elevator and you said, "Aren't you going to take the stairs?" And so, the fact that we did this whole podcast standing up, which is a great thing. The time flew by and we feel better. We're probably looking forward to sitting down now. Pete & Al: At some point reacquaint ourselves with our chair. There we go. Al Brown: But not spend too much time there. Pete Koch: I'm not fantasizing about it, for sure. Al Brown: No neither am I.

In this episode, we visit the wedding of Paloma and Cameron. They were married in April 2019 in San Francisco, marking the first wedding of the season for Michelle. Paloma was a listener of the show, and decided to reach out and as a result hired Michelle as her month-of coordinator. Michelle shares about how the day looked, how things were put together, and the beauty of Paloma and Cam's love and union. Big Takeaways Some churches have their own on-site coordinators. Even so, some allow you to still bring your planner. At Swedenborgian, their coordinator runs rehearsals. The hour or two before a ceremony can be really intense emotionally. It's really nice to have your most important and supportive people around you in that time. Having someone nearby with a positive energy and influence can make all the difference.

In this episode, I cover some of the basics of my process to get on SSDI. My case was unique compared to many, so please do your research if you are applying for SSDI. My information is in no way legal advice, so please consult an attorney for any specific questions you may have. The place to start is the Social Security Website. Here is a listing of what you need to apply for disability (https://www.ssa.gov/hlp/radr/10/ovw001-checklist.pdf (https://www.ssa.gov/hlp/radr/10/ovw001-checklist.pdf)). There are also some good sites that provide disability information. Here is a list of some I have looked at. Please be aware that some of these sites are from attorneys and I am not recommending that you use them.

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: James Shore This week on My Angular Story, Charles speaks with James Shore who is the author of the book, “The Art of Agile.” James is a thought leader in the Agile software development community. He combines deep technical expertise with whole-system thinking to help development teams worldwide achieve great things! Check out his complete biography here! Chuck and James talk about Agile development, James’ background, and future projects! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:00 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:48 – Chuck: Welcome! James was on a past episode, which was show 205! Give us an introduction, please! 1:05 – James: I have been involved with the software industry since 1991. I have written a book and it’s fairly evergreen. 1:30 – Chuck: Yeah, I remember that’s when the Agile development was getting really, really hot! 2:09 – James: Yeah in the early 2000s there was this energy to do software really well, and it seems like it’s turned into this bureaucracy. I find that to be depressing a tiny bit. 2:50 – Chuck: Yeah, I agree. 3:01 – James: Going back to a perspective where excellence is no longer the priority; excellence in your craft. 3:31 – Chuck. 3:34 – James: Yeah that was Bob Marten. James talks about the Agile movement. 4:22 – Chuck: This show is a walk back throughout your story. Let’s talk about HOW you got into this stuff. 4:40 – James talks about his background. 4:58 – Chuck talks about his Grandpa and his experience with technology when he was young. 5:10 – James: ...it had a whopping 2K of memory! That’s really how I got involved into programming. Later on I got a Trash 80 then an Apple 2, so I had programming in through my blood. 6:01 – Chuck. 6:08 – James talks about switching between computer and antenna, and his black and white T.V. He also talks about the electrical engineering program at the university. 7:16 – Chuck: I studied ad received my computer science degree. 7:28 – James. 7:34 – Chuck: You have been in the industry since 2001 and you are a bit older than me. 7:50 – James: My first job was in 1994. Then I wrote some things with Fido Net. Fido Net was this early online form thing. Sort of like Used Net / Used Groups (online bulletin web forms) via the telephone dial-up. They were hobbyists running this out from their home. It was basically chat forms. Once you have some experience (doesn’t matter your degree) – it’s...have you done this before? 9:30 – Chuck: This is RIGHT in-line with what I say in my eBook that I am developing now. 10:00 – James: I didn’t even post that I was looking for a job, but I got very lucky. 10:15 – Chuck: What is your journey look like and how did you get into Agile development? 10:30 – James talks about his Kickstarter, knowledge in JavaScript, programming experience, and more here – check it out! 13:16 – Chuck: How did you get to Agile development? 13:31 – James: I was programming throughout my teens. I was working on a really complicated project. I still play Dungeons and Dragons (D&D). It was the most complicated program that I built at that point. I had it in my head and then I didn’t understand it anymore. The program collapsed. To me that was really transformative b/c it’s not writing the algorithms but how it all works together. Then this taught me how to communicate the design to the other members on the team to make it work. 15:50 – James: Have you heard of Rational Rose? You don’t hear about it anymore b/c it was a complete flop. 17:20 – Chuck: Wow! 17:33 – James: It was actually detrimental to get it done. It really was a crisis of faith. I ran into this book: Object Modeling in Color by Peter Coad. Extreme Programming is mentioned, too, by James’ coworker! 21:10 – Chuck: It’s so interesting to me. We focus so much on the technological side, we forget to talk about the people, and the other sides to this. It’s easy to overlook this other stuff. 21:47 – James: There is so much silver bullet thinking within this industry. The original communication from person-to-person is so crucial. It’s so important to software development. Ultimately, the computer doesn’t care, but the collaboration is the real trick and the real challenge. 23:10 – Chuck talks about his brother and his computer science courses experience. 24:27 – James: It could be that 1 team could solve a problem but nowadays it’s working with multiple teams. People want to water things down to help facilitate – but don’t do that. There is a huge large scale Agile that is large interdependent teams. 25:19 – Chuck: MFCEO is a podcast that I am listening to now. He says that nobody wants to sit down and dictate what each member will be responsible for. Chuck reads a quote from an episode from MFCEO – check it out! 26:54 – James: It’s something that people have lost track of. I still program daily even though I do this Agile stuff as well. I have been programming for 25 years and Extreme Programming was the most effective thing for me throughout my career. James: I think XP is the time (now) to have a comeback! 29:41 – Chuck: That was my experience, too. We pushed one team to go to Agile, and then we went to our boss. Chuck: We’d sit down every two weeks and have an Agile-Perspective (what is working and what isn’t working). We are talking about HOW we are writing the software, and that is really what we are after. 30:54 – James: You are building the TEAM that builds the project. Of course, you need to have consistencies across the team, and every team is different b/c every member has different personalities. Mod Programming is we are going to work as a whole group around a screen. Personally, that is not my style but I would TRY it. If it worked for that team then I would do it. 32:00 – Chuck: That is the beauty of it. With this set of programmers x, y, and z may or may not work, and that is O.K. 32:25 – James: I heard about Extreme Programming and I thought it was nuts!! 32:40 – Chuck. 32:44 – James: The more I tried it, and the more it worked. Try Extreme Programming b/c it’s totally a different experience. It’s my book that I wrote 10 years ago but it still is applicable today. Try it for a few months (3 months) or so, b/c it takes time to figure out the different terms and such. Go try out a bunch of new different things, but figuring out HOW to make it work for me. 34:05 – Chuck: Yeah, you need data. Look at the data. Go experiment. 34:47 – James: Try it for real. Check out this essay: “We tried baseball, and it didn’t work.” James: Many things only work in context! What we do is we change the context in Agile. 35:58 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 36:00 – James: I am actually working on AgileFluency.org. It’s a set of tools for coaches and leaders to CHANGE their context. How can you find those constraints and invest on changing those. 36:31 – Chuck: Where do they go to find you? 36:40 – James: My website - it’s the ugliest website, but it’s been working since 2003. 36:54 – Picks! 37:05 – Fresh Books!

Panel: David Kimura Eric Berry In this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panelists talk amongst themselves about their favorite software, equipment, and apps. Both Eric and David thoroughly share their preferred picks within these categories, and they explain how and why they use the specified item. Check out today’s episode to hear more! Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: Sentry.io 1:03 – David: Welcome! Today, Chuck is not feeling well. I am David and today we have Eric Berry on our panel today. It is just the two of us today. I want to talk about our development environment. What is your setup like? Do you have an office space and your hardware? 1:58 – Eric: I Have a room in my basement that has everything that I need. I do work from home. There is my guitar, my geek toys and more. For my hardware I am using 2017 MacBook Pro (16 GB of ram). The 13-inch is convenient, but I upgraded b/c I do a lot of traveling. I do pull the iPad out and use DUET. You no longer have to use a cord. I have a monitor that is 30-inches and it’s gorgeous. That is my hardware setup. I am not a mechanical keyboard guy, and I stick with the Apple super flat keyboard. I do use Bestand – it’s a holster for the keyboard and the track pad. What do you have? 4:35 – David: I have a Frankenstein setup. My needs change, over time, and when that changes my hardware changes. Back in the day I did not have a Mac and I used a Windows machine. I used to be a gamer, but then met my wife and then stopped b/c she didn’t like for me to waste time. My setup is more proper. I have a baseline iMac Pro b/c there was a great deal of $1,000 off. The other option was an iMac. I like the desktop b/c that’s where I do work – at home. It was a $4,000 investment. I am on my computer ALL the time it was worth it to me. I got the wall-mount for me, and I have more monitors wall-mounted, too. 8:00 – David: That is my monitor and computer setup. I have an eco-rhythmic keyboard b/c of childhood injuries. I have a really old Microsoft keyboard from 2005 something. It was cheap but I like the style of it. For my mouse I have a Logitech mouse. I love the feel of this thing. It has a side scroll left and right, and up and down. Especially when I am looking at code. It helps with my video editing, too. My mouse is my favorite to-date. I don’t have too much plugged into the Mac. I have a GoDrive, which has everything on it – my whole life’s work is on there. If there is ever an emergency I know to grab that. Back things up in case of an emergency would be my tips to you all. 11:40 – Eric: I have struggled with backing things up actually. The problem that I have is that I am constantly moving my laptop. I have this guilt and fear of doing it wrong. 12:33 – David: I have this work laptop – I don’t back that up every day. David gives Eric his suggestions in regards to backing files up. David mentions Back Blaze. 14:05 – Eric: That makes sense. I live in the Apple eco-system. I have my phone, watch, 40 iPads, laptop – everything backs up to the Cloud. The date we are recording this is 10/30/18. Apple just announced a new upgrade. I feel like this could compete with an actual laptop computer. Eric asks David a question. 15:35 – David: ...My main problem with that is that you might already have a developmental machine. It’s a stationary computer then it’s not feasible to take on the go. I do have an iPad Pro and I will take that on the go. I can login to my home network. BLINK – I used on my iPad Pro. David continues to talk about his setup. 19:00 – Eric: I kind of agree with you. I have seen it used quite a bit. My brother does everything online for his job. The pros are that if you are training, and his company is configured that way. The pros is that you can code from anywhere on anyone’s computer. I am glad that it DOES exist. It’s not Cloud9 but someone does offer... 20:20 – David: I think going to a solo screen does hurt my productivity – working on the iPad vs. working on the computer. I could get faster and faster but only to a certain degree. If you have the resources – then I don’t think it’s sustainable. However, if you don’t have the resources it’s better than nothing. At least you are coding and that’s important. 22:15 – Eric: I think of the audience we cater to with Ruby Rogues. I wonder if our listeners are strapped for cash or if they do have the resources to get the job done? 22:48 – David: If you don’t have a lot of money, you don’t have to buy a Mac. If Cloud hosting isn’t your thing there are different options. You have DOCKER, and use Windows as your main editor, and the WSL. I wanted to do a test – I bout a laptop for $500-$700 and you can get away with doing what you need to do. Learning how to program and code with what you have is great! 25:00 – Advertisement – Fresh Books! 26:05 – Eric: Let’s talk about the software developer environment. Nate Hopkins isn’t on today, but you can’t change his mind – I am VEM all the way. I think Cuck is EMAX. 26:43 – Eric: What do you do? 26:45 – David: I use VS code. David talks about the benefits of using VS code. 27:37 – Eric: Yes, 100%. I met the lead engineer behind VS code. They just made a new announcement. I have been using VS code for quite a while now. The integrated terminal and other features are awesome. Pulling me out of Sublime Text was a really, really hard thing for me. 29:28 – David: Sublime text, yes, but I got tired of the 40-year long beta, and the lack of expanding it, too. VS code has won my heart over. 30:53 – Eric: My guess is that they are going to leave it alone. I am sure they will connect the 2 teams. Think of how much work has gone into ATOM. That would be a hard pill to swallow. 31:20 – David: At the end of the day, though, it is a company. You don’t need 2 different editors when they do the same thing. 31:40 – Eric: I would have to disagree with you. Maybe they won’t merge the 2 but they just become different between ATOM (React and React Native) and... 32:22 – David: Why would a company cancel something only have 1 season? (Clears throat...Fox!) 32:58 – Eric: I open very large files with Sublime. Sublime handles this very easily. This goes back to: why am I opening up very large files? 33:31 – David: It’s a log file don’t lie. 33:40 – David: What browser do you use? Safari? 34:03 – Eric: Safari is nice for non-developers. Safari is lightweight and very fast. I have been a browser whore. I go from bedroom to bedroom from Opera to Firefox to Chrome. I fall into the Chrome field though. I have a problem with Chrome, though, and that it knows me too well. Google can sell my data and they do. 37:14 – David: With BRAVE, weren’t they doing something with the block chain and bit coin to reward you for browsing? 37:38 – Eric: Yeah I think that’s being run by... 38:03 – David: I still use CHROME b/c I like the extensions. It’s important to know why you are picking a certain browser. When you are talking about development you need to know who your target audience is. What kind of apps do you use? 39:54 – Eric: It’s interesting to see how much traffic the Android Browser gets. You want to switch over to other parts? For my tech software...I use Polymail.io for email. I use THINGS to keep me on-track, I use SLACK, BRAVE BROSWER, iTerm3 and MERT. I use FANTASTICO (calendar), and I use BEAR (for my note taking). What about you? 41:21 – David: I use iTerm3, too. I’m on 3 different Slack channels. I have been using DISCORD. Other tools that I use are SPECTACLE (extension) among others. I try to keep it slim and simple, though. Another one is EasyRez (free download) and you can adjust the screen resolution on your desktop monitors. It’s important to target my audience better. I do like PARALLELS, too. 44:24 – David continues: Screenflow, Apple Motion, and Adobe After Effects CC. 45:04 – Eric: I use 1 PASSWORD and BETA BASE. 46:04 – David: Have you heard of Last Pass? 46:15 – Eric: Oh sure! I have been using though 1 Password and I guess there some loyalty there. 46:54 – David asks Eric a question about 1 Password about pricing. 47:12 – Eric: I want to pay with money than with something else. 47:23 – David: It’s owned by LogMeIn, and they have tons of experience with security. 48:00 – Eric: I am going to put an article here that compares all these different apps so you can see the similarities and differences side-by-side. 48:40 – David: Anything else? Banking passwords? 48:54 – Eric: Nah, I am excited to see where we are. I like Mojave for the desktop but I don’t like it for the constant number of resets that I’ve had to do. I love what I do. 49:34 – David: Yeah, I agree.

Panel: David Kimura Eric Berry In this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panelists talk amongst themselves about their favorite software, equipment, and apps. Both Eric and David thoroughly share their preferred picks within these categories, and they explain how and why they use the specified item. Check out today’s episode to hear more! Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: Sentry.io 1:03 – David: Welcome! Today, Chuck is not feeling well. I am David and today we have Eric Berry on our panel today. It is just the two of us today. I want to talk about our development environment. What is your setup like? Do you have an office space and your hardware? 1:58 – Eric: I Have a room in my basement that has everything that I need. I do work from home. There is my guitar, my geek toys and more. For my hardware I am using 2017 MacBook Pro (16 GB of ram). The 13-inch is convenient, but I upgraded b/c I do a lot of traveling. I do pull the iPad out and use DUET. You no longer have to use a cord. I have a monitor that is 30-inches and it’s gorgeous. That is my hardware setup. I am not a mechanical keyboard guy, and I stick with the Apple super flat keyboard. I do use Bestand – it’s a holster for the keyboard and the track pad. What do you have? 4:35 – David: I have a Frankenstein setup. My needs change, over time, and when that changes my hardware changes. Back in the day I did not have a Mac and I used a Windows machine. I used to be a gamer, but then met my wife and then stopped b/c she didn’t like for me to waste time. My setup is more proper. I have a baseline iMac Pro b/c there was a great deal of $1,000 off. The other option was an iMac. I like the desktop b/c that’s where I do work – at home. It was a $4,000 investment. I am on my computer ALL the time it was worth it to me. I got the wall-mount for me, and I have more monitors wall-mounted, too. 8:00 – David: That is my monitor and computer setup. I have an eco-rhythmic keyboard b/c of childhood injuries. I have a really old Microsoft keyboard from 2005 something. It was cheap but I like the style of it. For my mouse I have a Logitech mouse. I love the feel of this thing. It has a side scroll left and right, and up and down. Especially when I am looking at code. It helps with my video editing, too. My mouse is my favorite to-date. I don’t have too much plugged into the Mac. I have a GoDrive, which has everything on it – my whole life’s work is on there. If there is ever an emergency I know to grab that. Back things up in case of an emergency would be my tips to you all. 11:40 – Eric: I have struggled with backing things up actually. The problem that I have is that I am constantly moving my laptop. I have this guilt and fear of doing it wrong. 12:33 – David: I have this work laptop – I don’t back that up every day. David gives Eric his suggestions in regards to backing files up. David mentions Back Blaze. 14:05 – Eric: That makes sense. I live in the Apple eco-system. I have my phone, watch, 40 iPads, laptop – everything backs up to the Cloud. The date we are recording this is 10/30/18. Apple just announced a new upgrade. I feel like this could compete with an actual laptop computer. Eric asks David a question. 15:35 – David: ...My main problem with that is that you might already have a developmental machine. It’s a stationary computer then it’s not feasible to take on the go. I do have an iPad Pro and I will take that on the go. I can login to my home network. BLINK – I used on my iPad Pro. David continues to talk about his setup. 19:00 – Eric: I kind of agree with you. I have seen it used quite a bit. My brother does everything online for his job. The pros are that if you are training, and his company is configured that way. The pros is that you can code from anywhere on anyone’s computer. I am glad that it DOES exist. It’s not Cloud9 but someone does offer... 20:20 – David: I think going to a solo screen does hurt my productivity – working on the iPad vs. working on the computer. I could get faster and faster but only to a certain degree. If you have the resources – then I don’t think it’s sustainable. However, if you don’t have the resources it’s better than nothing. At least you are coding and that’s important. 22:15 – Eric: I think of the audience we cater to with Ruby Rogues. I wonder if our listeners are strapped for cash or if they do have the resources to get the job done? 22:48 – David: If you don’t have a lot of money, you don’t have to buy a Mac.

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Jia Li This week on My Angular Story, Charles speaks with Jia Li who is a passionate programmer, a Zone.js guy, and a full-stack developer at Sylabs.io. Chuck and Jia talk about Zone.js, Jia’s background, and the current projects that Jia is working on right now. Check out today’s episode! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:00 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:51 – Chuck: You were on the past AiA Episode 210. Why are you famous? 1:04 – Jia: I have been working on Angular JS for 4 years, and I am from China. I have been working on Zone.js for the past 2½ years. I basically handle everything with Zone.js. That kind of makes me famous in the community. 1:50 – Chuck: It’s the library that... 1:58 – Jia: Yes that is correct. 2:19 – Chuck: Let’s rollback a little bit and talk about your journey into programming? 2:32 – Jia: My major is not Computer Science it’s Communication. My first job, my classmate introduced me to a company that had 5 employees, which was a software company. About 15 years ago, back in China, they were using old software. The founder is using new technologies. So this is cool. That’s how I entered into the development world. 4:15 – Chuck asks a question. 4:22 – Jia: My focus, at the time, was the frontend. 5:10 – Chuck: How did you get into Angular? 5:12 – Angular, React, and jQuery are mentioned by Jia. 6:20 – Jia: We did a big project for 1½ years with a huge team of 500 people. We used...to build the applications. 6:51 – Chuck: How was the transition from Angular to Angular 2? 6:58 – Jia: At first the company had some reservations b/c everything is new. Jia talks about an architect of the company and the knowledge that he offered, at the time, to help. 8:17 – Chuck: You have contributed to Zone.js. People think that they have to be a genius in order to contribute. How did you start contributing to it? 8:44 – Jia: Between Angular 1 to Angular 2 was about a few months in-between. Jia continues to talk. 9:28 – Jia: We get a request from the client and get a certain zone. Each request is managed. Jia talks about his contributions to Zone.js and how he offered his insights, in the beginning, during his spare time. 12:12 – Chuck: This is a project that is used across thousands of Angular applications. And here we are talking about your journey to this open-source. You started off with a bug fix and this leads to helping with code, and finally you are one of the major contributors now! People think they cannot contribute to open-source b/c they aren’t a “genius.” They think that they “aren’t that good.” 13:16 – Jia: I never thought I could do it – meaning contributing to open-source work. I thought you had to have very strong coding skills, but it’s really just starting with the first step. True, you need to start with the code, but you don’t have to have a very strong background. I didn’t have (at the time) a strong JavaScript background, and look...I was able to do it! If you really love it – you can contribute to it. 15:11 – Chuck: You fixed a bug b/c you were using it. There is a difference between people writing it vs. people who are using it. You were fixing a bug b/c you were actually using it. “It should work this way under these circumstances.” If you are using the library then you will find those bugs. 16:35 – Jia: Yes, exactly. Some people are using Zone.js, but they don’t know what it does. 17:24 – Chuck: What are you currently working on now and/or what are you proud of? 17:29 – Jia: I am still working on the Zone.js project. I just changed my job a few months ago. I am starting a startup company to help with technological solutions. I am working (right now) on frontend. It’s very interesting to do some Cloud stuff. 18:50 – Chuck: Where can we find you? 18:55 – Jia. 20:50 – Chuck: What social media platforms do you use? 21:00 – Jia: Twitter! Blog! Jia talks about his current proposal that he is working on. 24:20 – Chuck: Let’s go to Picks! 24:26 – Fresh Books! 25:30 – Picks END – CacheFly Links: jQuery Angular JavaScript Vue React Slack Zone.js GitHub – Zone.js Chuck’s Twitter Chuck’s E-mail: chuck@devchat.tv AiA 210 – Past Episode with Jia Li Jia Li LinkedIn Jia Li Twitter Jia Li Blog Sponsors: Get A Coder Job Fresh Books Cache Fly Picks: Charles Podcast: MFCEO Audible: Extreme Ownership by Willink and Babin Audible: Traveler’s Gift by by Andy Andrews Jia Slack group – posts on Angular – check them out!

My first job, my classmate introduced me to a company that had 5 employees, which was a software company. About 15 years ago, back in China, they were using old software. The founder is using new technologies. So this is cool. That’s how I entered into the development world. 4:15 – Chuck asks a question. 4:22 – Jia: My focus, at the time, was the frontend. 5:10 – Chuck: How did you get into Angular? 5:12 – Angular, React, and jQuery are mentioned by Jia. 6:20 – Jia: We did a big project for 1½ years with a huge team of 500 people. We used...to build the applications. 6:51 – Chuck: How was the transition from Angular to Angular 2? 6:58 – Jia: At first the company had some reservations b/c everything is new. Jia talks about an architect of the company and the knowledge that he offered, at the time, to help. 8:17 – Chuck: You have contributed to Zone.js. People think that they have to be a genius in order to contribute. How did you start contributing to it? 8:44 – Jia: Between Angular 1 to Angular 2 was about a few months in-between. Jia continues to talk. 9:28 – Jia: We get a request from the client and get a certain zone. Each request is managed. Jia talks about his contributions to Zone.js and how he offered his insights, in the beginning, during his spare time. 12:12 – Chuck: This is a project that is used across thousands of Angular applications. And here we are talking about your journey to this open-source. You started off with a bug fix and this leads to helping with code, and finally you are one of the major contributors now! People think they cannot contribute to open-source b/c they aren’t a “genius.” They think that they “aren’t that good.” 13:16 – Jia: I never thought I could do it – meaning contributing to open-source work. I thought you had to have very strong coding skills, but it’s really just starting with the first step. True, you need to start with the code, but you don’t have to have a very strong background. I didn’t have (at the time) a strong JavaScript background, and look...I was able to do it! If you really love it – you can contribute to it. 15:11 – Chuck: You fixed a bug b/c you were using it. There is a difference between people writing it vs. people who are using it. You were fixing a bug b/c you were actually using it. “It should work this way under these circumstances.” If you are using the library then you will find those bugs. 16:35 – Jia: Yes, exactly. Some people are using Zone.js, but they don’t know what it does. 17:24 – Chuck: What are you currently working on now and/or what are you proud of? 17:29 – Jia: I am still working on the Zone.js project. I just changed my job a few months ago. I am starting a startup company to help with technological solutions. I am working (right now) on frontend. It’s very interesting to do some Cloud stuff. 18:50 – Chuck: Where can we find you? 18:55 – Jia. 20:50 – Chuck: What social media platforms do you use? 21:00 – Jia: Twitter! Blog!

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Georgi Parlakov This week on My Angular Story, Charles speaks with Georgi Parlakov who is an R&D Developer at Petrotechnical Data Systems who resides in Bulgaria. Chuck and Georgi talk about his background, past and current projects, and so much more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:15 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:49 – Chuck: Hello! 0:53 – Georgi: Hi! 1:00 – Chuck: Introduce yourself, please! 1:08 – Georgi: I have been an Angular developer and love it every step of the way. 1:20 – Chuck: I stared talking to past guests of Angular, and I find that ½ the people are in the U.S. and the other places, too. Different places but what is your experience as being a developer in the other parts of the world are similar. 2:12 – Georgi: I got into programming but I didn’t want to be at a desk all day. I had some friends in the software industry and I liked what they had. In Bulgaria the people in the software industry they have a 2x or 3x standard of living. I really wanted to begin to try to get into software engineering. I didn’t have any technical background. I went to some interviews and I saw that I needed a lot of knowledge to gain. I learned about the Telerik Academy is doing. They have a large academy and that year I learned a lot and I jumped to this opportunity b/c it seemed like magic. Someone is going to teach me how to be a developer and not charge me? I got into it and it was fun, challenging, and rewarding for me. I dropped my current gig and I went to being a developer. 5:14 – How long is the program at the Telerik Academy. 5:20 – Georgi: It’s about a year. Evenings and then you need to go fulltime. 5:45 – Do they teach you JavaScript? 5:50 – Georgi: Yes. Also, DotNet. Java was mentioned in 2011. 6:17 – Kendo UI have widgets for DotNet. 6:28 – Georgi. 6:35 – Chuck: What got you into JavaScript? 6:44 – Georgi: The previous job I had they used Angular. At that time I was doing...which is a service site rendered HTML. We were using some jQuery and Knock Out, I was learning about Angular and was interested. It was an Angular job and it was technically interesting. They talked about 3D rendering. At least that’s what I got from the conversation. Doing the job we got a few new hires, and they started a project in Angular. We learned from each other, and inspired by people like YOU, and from the Angular talks at conferences. I was inspired. 8:21 – You get into Java and Angular did you get into API? 8:31 – Georgi: Yes. 8:38 – I like how Microsoft names stuff. 8:47 – Georgi: I am listening to...if you have a cool project alias then the project name becomes WCF or something long and tedious. 9:09 – I love those guys. 9:15 – Georgi: I am listening to them b/c someone recommended them. They put the bar really high with their mood and content. 9:40 – Chuck: Carl owns a production company. They do a great job. 9:52 – Chuck: What was it about Angular that got you excited? 10:05 – Georgi: It’s similar to the backend stuff and people get into Angular g/c it’s similar to NVC. I got a lot of the documentation b/c it’s written well. At that time my daughter was 6 months old and I was reading her the Angular documentation. I really enjoyed that. Angular was brand new at that point and I didn’t have a mentor at that time. The learning experience was great, and the flow was fun for me b/c it was challenging. 11:33 – Chuck: The experience is good. 11:42 – How did you get your first programming job? 11:45 – Georgi: Basically out of the academy – 2 months out. The people believed in me and I am thankful. I was only 28 years old and I wasn’t the normal person. 12:22 – I got my first job at 27. 12:30 – A lot of people are transitioning. I did an episode with Tina from South Africa. She moved to England and then to the U.S. She has a Ph.D. in Physics and she transitioned into programming in her 50’s. People think: I am “old”, and it really doesn’t matter. 13:27 – Georgi: People complain while they are sitting down on their butts. I want people to know that you can do it. No matter your age or your experience. The coding knowledge will give you a lot of freedom in the future, because it’s doing magic. Everyone should learn how to code as a hobby in addition to your normal job. 14:55 – Chuck: It might be things like AI and how we interact on our devices. It will be a life skill what we consider to be mundane jobs at this point. 15:18 – Georgi: People say AI could take my job, but also AI will create jobs. 15:36 – Chuck: People theorize about this. Every time people advance in technology it does create more jobs. I worry about the psychology of here is money as a handout. 16:29 – Georgi: We get our self-respect b/c of what we accomplish in the job. Most of us work 8 hours with these certain people and these problems. It’s good to like and even love what you do. 17:00 – Chuck: What have you done with Angular that you are proud of? 17:05 – Georgi: Learning from scratch and learning the basics; eventually advancing my knowledge. Lately I have been going to Meetups and do a presentation there. The theme was... I wanted to contribute back to Angular, and my computer at home is PC. I had troubles with... I am an Angular contributor and I am proud of that. I am not a docker nor was I expert angular person, but here I am. 20:25 – Chuck: That’s what peoples mindsets are: I am not this___, I am not that____, etc. If you want a job and you are 90 years old – got for it. You don’t have to be a genius, but you can find something to contribute to the community. 21:17 – Georgi: We have a lot of Angular from my work, I wanted to give back some. Also, and make a name for myself. Again, it was fun and challenging and nice to do it. 21:44 – Chuck: Now that doesn’t hurt b/c you can put on your CV. 21:55 – Georgi: It only shows the top 100. I am not there, but oh well. 22:09 – Chuck: Every little piece helps. You know, it’s a good way to get involved and so much more. What are you working on now? 22:28 – Georgi: The project I am working on is not using Angular. Besides that I am doing a video course on functional C# and it’s a work in progress. 23:10 – Chuck: Anywhere people can find your course? 23:15 – Georgi: It’s less than 50% done, so no. 23:30 – Chuck: What’s it like being a developer in Bulgaria? 23:35 – Georgi: Bulgaria, has a higher living standard for the software industry. 24:55 – Chuck: Is most of the documentation for computers out there in English in Bulgaria? 24:58 – Georgi: No, not the general population speaks English. It does make it a tad harder to transition if you don’t know English. But some of the academies do 25:50 – Chuck: I was a missionary for LDDS in Italy and so my experience as the younger generation speaks English but not the older generation. 26:39 - Georgi: English is 2nd language in Amsterdam. 27:11 – (Chuck talks about international community and developers.) 27:38 – Our team was ½ and ½ out here in Bulgaria. We did meetings in English most of the time. 28:07 – Chuck: Are you located in Sofia? Georgi: Yes. 28:15 – Chuck: When you get outside of the city is there a programming community? 28:20 – Georgi: Yes, definitely. Again, though, it does change. When they graduate from the Telerik Academy... 29:27 – Chuck: I live in Utah and we are between NV and WY and CO. There is an area (North of Salt Lake City) that has a healthy tech scene. It depends on where you are in UT for a strong/weak teach center. 30:31 – Georgi: I would think the younger kids would like to do it and they need to do it here in the bigger cities. That is not unusual. 31:00 – Chuck: Yes, people pick up the skills and get hired and then they go and work remotely. Do you have a Medium account? 31:20 - Georgi: Yes, through Twitter and Medium. 32:20 – Picks!

I did an episode with Tina from South Africa. She moved to England and then to the U.S. She has a Ph.D. in Physics and she transitioned into programming in her 50’s. People think: I am “old”, and it really doesn’t matter. 13:27 – Georgi: People complain while they are sitting down on their butts. I want people to know that you can do it. No matter your age or your experience. The coding knowledge will give you a lot of freedom in the future, because it’s doing magic. Everyone should learn how to code as a hobby in addition to your normal job. 14:55 – Chuck: It might be things like AI and how we interact on our devices. It will be a life skill what we consider to be mundane jobs at this point. 15:18 – Georgi: People say AI could take my job, but also AI will create jobs. 15:36 – Chuck: People theorize about this. Every time people advance in technology it does create more jobs. I worry about the psychology of here is money as a handout. 16:29 – Georgi: We get our self-respect b/c of what we accomplish in the job. Most of us work 8 hours with these certain people and these problems. It’s good to like and even love what you do. 17:00 – Chuck: What have you done with Angular that you are proud of? 17:05 – Georgi: Learning from scratch and learning the basics; eventually advancing my knowledge. Lately I have been going to Meetups and do a presentation there. The theme was... I wanted to contribute back to Angular, and my computer at home is PC. I had troubles with... I am an Angular contributor and I am proud of that. I am not a docker nor was I expert angular person, but here I am. 20:25 – Chuck: That’s what peoples mindsets are: I am not this___, I am not that____, etc. If you want a job and you are 90 years old – got for it. You don’t have to be a genius, but you can find something to contribute to the community. 21:17 – Georgi: We have a lot of Angular from my work, I wanted to give back some. Also, and make a name for myself. Again, it was fun and challenging and nice to do it. 21:44 – Chuck: Now that doesn’t hurt b/c you can put on your CV. 21:55 – Georgi: It only shows the top 100. I am not there, but oh well. 22:09 – Chuck: Every little piece helps. You know, it’s a good way to get involved and so much more. What are you working on now? 22:28 – Georgi: The project I am working on is not using Angular. Besides that I am doing a video course on functional C# and it’s a work in progress. 23:10 – Chuck: Anywhere people can find your course? 23:15 – Georgi: It’s less than 50% done, so no. 23:30 – Chuck: What’s it like being a developer in Bulgaria? 23:35 – Georgi: Bulgaria, has a higher living standard for the software industry. 24:55 – Chuck: Is most of the documentation for computers out there in English in Bulgaria? 24:58 – Georgi: No, not the general population speaks English. It does make it a tad harder to transition if you don’t know English. But some of the academies do 25:50 – Chuck: I was a missionary for LDDS in Italy and so my experience as the younger generation speaks English but not the older generation. 26:39 - Georgi: English is 2nd language in Amsterdam. 27:11 – (Chuck talks about international community and developers.) 27:38 – Our team was ½ and ½ out here in Bulgaria. We did meetings in English most of the time. 28:07 – Chuck: Are you located in Sofia? Georgi: Yes. 28:15 – Chuck: When you get outside of the city is there a programming community? 28:20 – Georgi: Yes, definitely. Again, though, it does change. When they graduate from the Telerik Academy... 29:27 – Chuck: I live in Utah and we are between NV and WY and CO. There is an area (North of Salt Lake City) that has a healthy tech scene. It depends on where you are in UT for a strong/weak teach center. 30:31 – Georgi: I would think the younger kids would like to do it and they need to do it here in the bigger cities. That is not unusual. 31:00 – Chuck: Yes, people pick up the skills and get hired and then they go and work remotely. Do you have a Medium account? 31:20 - Georgi: Yes, through Twitter and Medium. 32:20 – Picks!

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Steve Edwards This week on My JavaScript Story, Charles speaks with Steve Edwards who is a website developer and lives in Portland, OR. He is a senior developer at an international corporation called, Fluke. Today’s main topic of conversation is Drupal. Check out the episode to hear about this and much more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 1:05 – Chuck: Welcome! I appreciate your contributions with hooking me up with some people. 2:22 – Started in IT in 1995. 2:38 – Chuck: How did you get into software development? 2:46 – Steve: In high school not much courses on it. Then in college did some programming there. After college, I was supposed to get married. I was thinking finance. Never nailed down what I wanted to do. Called Bank of America in 1991 – called them. He said let me put in touch with someone. One of the things I got to put classes on “how does this system work.” I got into the banking job and realized not for me. Did realize that I do like teaching. Got software support for another bank. My banking software experience got me the job. We did interfaces – data from PC base to main systems like IBM, etc. I dealt with the source. Same time, I was a diehard racket ball player; on the board state organization. Someone organizing a website for group through Front Page. Hey do you want to take this over? Got to know Front Page. It’s painful to think about it. Same time a position opened up. I got PHP books, and created a new website for our racket ball organization. Off-time learning this. At work I used other tools for the job. That’s where I got into programming and developing. I was an analyst and wanted to program. I created a website from nothing in 2004 for a mountain bike shop. Learned a lot about PHB – and learned that I never want to build anything from scratch ever again. 2006 I start looing for a CMS and I got into some evaluations and got into Drupal. Now I got to do fulltime Drupal. Some guys left the company and got to do Drupal, also. There’s a book on basic JavaScript, and haven’t gotten into it. It’s nice because since 2009 I have been working from home. 3-4 years ago I heard about Angular and how it was used in Drupal. Weather.com – they did things with Angular. I started diving into Angular. Then a small project – worked with Travis then we started with our new ideas/projects. Then I went and took some Angular classes, and I was working on my project. I had these questions. They said that this was used for a one-time use. Okay, I had to figure it out. Travis one day asked: What are you doing? I showed him with the calendar and integrated with... Travis asked if I wanted to go to work with him. Then the past few years I have been working with Vue.js. 12:41 – Chuck: In 2006 I got into Ruby on Rails. I got into jQuery and did some backbone and progressed the same way you did. Worked with Angular and Vue. There is a lot going on there. Interesting to see how this has all progressed. At what point did you decide – JavaScript is the focus to some of these projects? 13:42 – Steve: Lightweight functions. 15:25 – Advertisement – Coder Job 16:05 – Chuck: What are you proud of with the work you’ve done? 16:20 – Steve: Article - All the different projects that it looks like for a developer – I have 5 or 6 projects that I want to get to that I haven’t had time to get to. Steve talks about one of the projects he is working on. 17:55 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 17:59 – Steve: My company, Fluke, we have a cool setup. It has a three-legged system. In that we have all the background data, another for digital assets, and... Steve: It’s so fast – I am trying to enhance it to make it even faster. Another thing that I am working on is that we have a scheduling website for the fire department I am apart of. Band-Aids and glue hold it together. I am trying to work with a calendar so it can integrate – take over the data of a cell and put y stuff in there. It would be efficient so I don’t get all these errors with this old system. It would give me grand control. 20:16 – Steve: I want to get more and more into JavaScript. The one thing that I like about my story is that you did in your spare time. That’s how I got into Google. Multiple years working up late, working with people and different modules. I got good enough (in 2009) and got good enough – it got me into the door. 21:13 – Chuck talks about his course on how to get a job. Chuck: All you have to do to level-up is to put into the time. Working on open-source project 21:56 – Steve: Learning – find a project you want to do. What is something you want to tackle? What and how can you get it done with your tools? Stack overflow, or Slack questions. We started a new Meetup (last meeting was last month) and people do Vue on a regular basis. Slack room. That’s how I got into... Personal experience you can help people and find 23:00 – Chuck: People want to level-up for different reasons. Whether you are trying to get better, or learn new things – getting to know people and having these conversations will shape your thinking. 23:33 – Steve: Also, networking. 24:10 – Chuck: I wasn’t happy where I was at and talked to people. Hey – what else is out there? 24:37 – Chuck: Any recommendations? 24:42 – Steve: The amount of courses that are out there, and it can be overwhelming. Find courses when they go on sale. I found some courses that were only $10.00. There is stuff that is free and things that you can pay for. It can be inexpensive. 26:38 – Chuck: I do the same thing. I wait for things to go on sale first. I’ve done that with courses. However you learn it. Some people work through a book and for others that’s not the way. Sometimes I will start with a video course then I get frustrated. It helps, though. There are different ways to do it. Go do it. 27:39 – Steve: There is a lot of good jobs – get your foot in the door as a junior guy. Getting the real-life experience. 28:15 – Chuck: How do people get ahold of you? 28:18 – Steve: Twitter, GitHub, wherever... 28:48 – Picks! 28:53 – Advertisement for Digital Ocean Links: Weather.com Angular Drupal DevChat TV Plural Sight Events – Drupal Fluke JavaScript Slack Meetup Vue.js jQuery Steve Edwards @Wonder95 Steve Edwards’ LinkedIn Steve Edwards' Blog Sponsors: Code Badge Digital Ocean Cache Fly Picks: Charles Book: Launch by Jeff Walker Get A Coder Job Code Badge System to help manage the podcast – scheduling, promotion, etc. The Librarians – TV show Sling – BYU football games Steve Edwards Rodney Stark – History Books – History of Christianity – Title: The Victory of Reason CrossFit CrossFit Games

Ely goes into detail about how his passion for developing began and developed. 6:30 – Chuck: Yeah, I’ve talked with people who have gotten into video games, then got into software development. 7:01 – Ely: Someday I would like to develop games. 7:12 – Chuck: Yes, web developing is awesome. Chuck asks Ely another question. 7:25 – Ely answers the question and mentions web controls. 9:17 – Ely: I thought Ajax was easier. 9:38 – Chuck: When I got into web development jQuery was sort of new. It made things a lot easier. 9:58 – Ely: A lot of people like to sneer at jQuery now, but back in the day it was IT. 10:28 – Chuck: How did you get into Ionic? 10:43 – Ely: I got a fulltime gig working on Ionic; I like the framework. I saw a job application and sent in my résumé. Two days later I got a callback and was amazed. They were hiring remotely. The team liked me and started over a year ago. 11:46 – Chuck asks a question. 11:54 – Ely answers the question. 13:20 – Chuck: Why Ionic? 13:35 – Ely: It was based off of Angular. 15:17 – Chuck: You mentioned...what has the transition been like? 15:32 – Ely talks about past programs he has worked with. He taught React in the early React days. 16:37 – Ely: I have a deep appreciation on React now. 17:09 – Chuck: I like seeing the process that people go through. 17:24 – Ely continues the conversation. Ely: It is interesting to see the learning process that people go through to arrive in the same place. 18:18 – Chuck: Redux is a good example of this. Anyway, this is near the end of our time. 18:39 – Chuck: Anything else you want to talk about? 18:48 – Ely: Yes, I have been involved in the Denver community. Check us out.

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Steve Edwards This week on My JavaScript Story, Charles speaks with Steve Edwards who is a website developer and lives in Portland, OR. He is a senior developer at an international corporation called, Fluke. Today’s main topic of conversation is Drupal. Check out the episode to hear about this and much more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 1:05 – Chuck: Welcome! I appreciate your contributions with hooking me up with some people. 2:22 – Started in IT in 1995. 2:38 – Chuck: How did you get into software development? 2:46 – Steve: In high school not much courses on it. Then in college did some programming there. After college, I was supposed to get married. I was thinking finance. Never nailed down what I wanted to do. Called Bank of America in 1991 – called them. He said let me put in touch with someone. One of the things I got to put classes on “how does this system work.” I got into the banking job and realized not for me. Did realize that I do like teaching. Got software support for another bank. My banking software experience got me the job. We did interfaces – data from PC base to main systems like IBM, etc. I dealt with the source. Same time, I was a diehard racket ball player; on the board state organization. Someone organizing a website for group through Front Page. Hey do you want to take this over? Got to know Front Page. It’s painful to think about it. Same time a position opened up. I got PHP books, and created a new website for our racket ball organization. Off-time learning this. At work I used other tools for the job. That’s where I got into programming and developing. I was an analyst and wanted to program. I created a website from nothing in 2004 for a mountain bike shop. Learned a lot about PHB – and learned that I never want to build anything from scratch ever again. 2006 I start looing for a CMS and I got into some evaluations and got into Drupal. Now I got to do fulltime Drupal. Some guys left the company and got to do Drupal, also. There’s a book on basic JavaScript, and haven’t gotten into it. It’s nice because since 2009 I have been working from home. 3-4 years ago I heard about Angular and how it was used in Drupal. Weather.com – they did things with Angular. I started diving into Angular. Then a small project – worked with Travis then we started with our new ideas/projects. Then I went and took some Angular classes, and I was working on my project. I had these questions. They said that this was used for a one-time use. Okay, I had to figure it out. Travis one day asked: What are you doing? I showed him with the calendar and integrated with... Travis asked if I wanted to go to work with him. Then the past few years I have been working with Vue.js. 12:41 – Chuck: In 2006 I got into Ruby on Rails. I got into jQuery and did some backbone and progressed the same way you did. Worked with Angular and Vue. There is a lot going on there. Interesting to see how this has all progressed. At what point did you decide – JavaScript is the focus to some of these projects? 13:42 – Steve: Lightweight functions. 15:25 – Advertisement – Coder Job 16:05 – Chuck: What are you proud of with the work you’ve done? 16:20 – Steve: Article - All the different projects that it looks like for a developer – I have 5 or 6 projects that I want to get to that I haven’t had time to get to. Steve talks about one of the projects he is working on. 17:55 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 17:59 – Steve: My company, Fluke, we have a cool setup. It has a three-legged system. In that we have all the background data, another for digital assets, and... Steve: It’s so fast – I am trying to enhance it to make it even faster. Another thing that I am working on is that we have a scheduling website for the fire department I am apart of. Band-Aids and glue hold it together. I am trying to work with a calendar so it can integrate – take over the data of a cell and put y stuff in there. It would be efficient so I don’t get all these errors with this old system. It would give me grand control. 20:16 – Steve: I want to get more and more into JavaScript. The one thing that I like about my story is that you did in your spare time. That’s how I got into Google. Multiple years working up late, working with people and different modules. I got good enough (in 2009) and got good enough – it got me into the door. 21:13 – Chuck talks about his course on how to get a job. Chuck: All you have to do to level-up is to put into the time. Working on open-source project 21:56 – Steve: Learning – find a project you want to do. What is something you want to tackle? What and how can you get it done with your tools? Stack overflow, or Slack questions. We started a new Meetup (last meeting was last month) and people do Vue on a regular basis. Slack room. That’s how I got into... Personal experience you can help people and find 23:00 – Chuck: People want to level-up for different reasons. Whether you are trying to get better, or learn new things – getting to know people and having these conversations will shape your thinking. 23:33 – Steve: Also, networking. 24:10 – Chuck: I wasn’t happy where I was at and talked to people. Hey – what else is out there? 24:37 – Chuck: Any recommendations? 24:42 – Steve: The amount of courses that are out there, and it can be overwhelming. Find courses when they go on sale. I found some courses that were only $10.00. There is stuff that is free and things that you can pay for. It can be inexpensive. 26:38 – Chuck: I do the same thing. I wait for things to go on sale first. I’ve done that with courses. However you learn it. Some people work through a book and for others that’s not the way. Sometimes I will start with a video course then I get frustrated. It helps, though. There are different ways to do it. Go do it. 27:39 – Steve: There is a lot of good jobs – get your foot in the door as a junior guy. Getting the real-life experience. 28:15 – Chuck: How do people get ahold of you? 28:18 – Steve: Twitter, GitHub, wherever... 28:48 – Picks! 28:53 – Advertisement for Digital Ocean Links: Weather.com Angular Drupal DevChat TV Plural Sight Events – Drupal Fluke JavaScript Slack Meetup Vue.js jQuery Steve Edwards @Wonder95 Steve Edwards’ LinkedIn Steve Edwards' Blog Sponsors: Code Badge Digital Ocean Cache Fly Picks: Charles Book: Launch by Jeff Walker Get A Coder Job Code Badge System to help manage the podcast – scheduling, promotion, etc. The Librarians – TV show Sling – BYU football games Steve Edwards Rodney Stark – History Books – History of Christianity – Title: The Victory of Reason CrossFit CrossFit Games

Panel: Charles Max Wood Dave Kimura Eric Berry Special Guests: Rahul Mahale In this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panel talks to Rahul Mahale. Rahul is a Senior DevOps Engineer at BigBinary in India. He has also worked with SecureDB Inc., Tiny Owl, Winjit Technologies among others. In addition, he attended the University of Pune. The panel and the guest talk about Kubernetes. Show Topics: 1:25 – Swag.com for t-shirts and mugs, etc. for Ruby Rogues / DevChat.tv. 1:49 – Chuck: Why are you famous? 1:57 – Guest’s background. 4:35 – Chuck: Kubernetes – Anyone play with this? 4:49 – Panelist: Yes. Funny situation, I was working with Heroku. Heroku is very costly, but great. The story continues... 6:13 – Panelist: I was so overwhelmed with how difficult it was to launch a simple website. Now, that being said we were using the Amazon EKS, which is the Kubernetes. They don’t have nearly as much good tools, but that’s my experience. 6:48 – Chuck: I haven’t tried Kubernetes. 8:58 – Rahul: I would like to add a few comments. Managing Kubernetes service is not a big deal at the moment, but... 11:19 – Panelist: You wouldn’t recommend people using Kubernetes unless they were well versed? What is that term? 11:40 – Rahul: Not anyone could use the Kubernetes cluster. Let’s offer that complexity to another company that can handle and mange it. 13:02 – The guest continues this conversation. 14:02 – Panelist: I didn’t know that Kubernetes needed different nodes. 14:28 – Rahul continues this topic. 15:05 – What hardware requirements do they need? 15:19 – Rahul: Yes, they do need a good system. Good amount of memory. Good network space. 15:45 – Panelist asks Rahul a question. 16:30 – Rahul: Let’s answer this into two parts. Kubernetes topic is being discussed in detail. 18:41 – Chuck adds comments and asks a question. 18:58 – Rahul talks about companies and programs. Check out this timestamp to hear his thoughts. 20:42 – Another company is mentioned added to this conversation. 21:55 – Additional companies mentioned: Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc. (Rahul) 22:14 – Chuck: It’s interesting how much community plays a role into success stories. Whether or not it’s best technologies it comes down to where there are enough people to help me if I don’t know what to do. 22:43 – Rahul: People, even enterprises, are there. 23:15 – Chuck: At what point (let’s say I docked my app) should they be looking at Kubernetes? Are you waiting on traffic? How do you make that call? 23:56 – Rahul answers the questions. 26:29 – Rahul: If your application is... 27:13 – Announcement – Digital Ocean! 27:51 – Chuck: How does someone get started with Kubernetes? 27:53 – Rahul answers the question. 30:00 – Chuck: It sounds like you have an amateur setup – Dave? 30:21 – Dave: I think the problem is that there is not a Kubernetes for dummies blog post. There has always been some sort of “gottcha!” As much as these documents say that there are solutions here and there, but you will see that there are networking issues. Once you get that up and running, then there are more issues at hand. The other strange thing is that once everything seems to be working okay, and then I started getting connectivity issues. It’s definitely not an afternoon project. It takes researching and googling. At the end, it takes a direction at large that the community is investing into. 32:58 – Chuck makes additional comments. 33:21 – Dave adds more comments. Sorry bad joke – Dave. 33:40 – Topic – Virtualization. 34:32 – Having Swamp is a good idea. 34:44 – Rahul adds his comments. 36:54 – Panelist talks about virtualization and scaling. 37:45 – Rahul adds in comments about the ecosystems. 38:21 – Panelist talks about server-less functions. 39:11 – Rahul: Not every application can... 40:32 – Panelist: I guess the whole downside to... 41:07 – Rahul talks about this. 43:03 – Chuck to Eric: Any problems with Kubernetes for you? 43:05 – Eric: Yes – just spelling it! For me it feels like you are in a jet with all of these different buttons. There are 2 different types of developers. I am of DevOps-minded. That’s why we are getting solutions, and tools like Heroku to help. When I listen to this conversation, I feel quiet only because you guys are talking about spiders and I’m afraid of spiders. 44:44 – Dave to Eric: Having information and knowledge about Kubernetes will help you as a developer. Having some awareness can really help you as a developer. 45:43 – Chuck: There are all these options to know about it – they way he is talking about it sounds like it’s the person on the jet. Don’t touch the red button and don’t’ cut the wrong wire! It feels like with software – it’s a beautiful thing – you erase it and reinstall it! 46:50 – Dave: What? What are all of these crazy words?! What does this exactly mean? The visibility is definitely not there for someone who is just tinkering with it. 47:16 – Rahul: It’s not for someone who is tinkering with it.

Check-out today’s episode to hear how passionate Devon is about the Elixir program, and what he loves about it. Show Topics: 3:58 – Devon finds that the process of writing helps him find “bugs”. He tries to write once a month on various topics, such as what he has learned, and his freelancing work. 4:50 – One of the panelists says that he also writes, too, and how it helps him process what is going on. He treats it like a research paper, because he wants it to sound coherent. 5:43 – Devon used to work in PR and Marketing. What he learned from those fields is that: visibility creates opportunity. 7:19 – When you choose the technology, it’s about how easy previous resources to help support that if it’s the right tech. Finding Elixir developers is hard to find. Elixir ahs been that way for a while, but actually it is becoming the new and improved Ruby. You get the 10X productivity, but you aren’t held up by some factors. Have you ever had finding work in Elixir? 8:22 – Devon: Not in the last year-and-a-half. Being a freelancer, stay visible, because you are constantly looking for different projects, and so on. There are other countries out there where Elixir is more prominent than compared to the United States. Companies in San Francisco are having a hard time finding Elixir developers to work with them. 10:31 – How was your transition from Ruby to Elixir and your writing projects? How did you go down that path? 11:07 – Devon: The more I wrote in Elixir the more he liked the program. Ruby inspired Elixir, for sure. He likes how it’s comprehensive to him, and how productive he is with Elixir. For Devon, it fits well with how he writes code; and because he’s happy, his clients are happy, too. Elixir’s language fits well with his way of thinking and there are other benefits for Devon by working with Elixir. Devon likes feeling productive and it fulfills his needs. Finally, he also really enjoys the Elixir community! 16:51 – What do you not like about Elixir? 16:55 – Devon: He found his first thing he doesn’t love about Elixir, and he found it today, of all things! Listen to this timestamp to see what Devon shares. 20:47 – Question asked for Devon: How are other languages doing that, and what can we do to make that happen? 20:53 – Check-out Devon’s answer! 24:11 – Digital Ocean’s Mid-Roll Advertisement 24:48 – Devon continues his answer from 20:53. Programmers talk and, when more people are having certain experiences, the word is going to get out. The flexibility of the language is going to be great in the long run. Great sales pitch. 26:47 – Josh, you have a lot of experience of the years, pushing the eco-system, have you seen a pick-up from that or has it grown, how have you seen your involvement in these projects helped with the awareness... 27:19 – Josh: I don’t know how much of an influence I have, but it has doubled almost every year. Of course, this won’t happen every year, and at some time it will plateau. Elixir is rapidly growing now, though. 28:09 – Question to Devon: Let’s talk about your project, Fast Elixir. 28:16 – Devon talks about how he got involved with Fast Elixir and how it developed. 31:19 – Let’s talk about Benchy. 31:28 – Devon: We are very proud of it. Devon continues in detail about the before-mentioned question. 36:30 – Question to Devon – Let’s talk about reductions, so people can understand it better. 36:41 – Think of a reduction that it’s one thing the virtual thing does. It has a counter, and it does a certain number of things before it needs to take a break. That’s the most basic unit. One reduction is one instruction and it counts that. That’s how it manages its internal scheduler. 38:20 – Chuck: When you adopted Ruby did you feel the same way about it like you do about Elixir. Chuck says, “I totally get it...” It’s more a learning opportunity for Chuck. Have you found the next best thing? Or... 39:06 – Devon was an opera singer for a while, and studied at the Manhattan School of Music. Check out his full bio in LinkedIn, and other social media profiles. As Devon became an advanced programmer he started to develop his programming skills. He tried JavaScript, but the language didn’t appeal to him. The more he experienced in different programs, he found that the bigger picture for him boiled down to the community aspect for him. He could have fallen in-love with Clojure, but he’s not quite sure. Finally, it basically was the Elixir’s language and the community that he likes. 45:05 – It’s neat to see the progression that you went through. 45:25 – Let’s do picks! 45:30 – Code Badges' Advertisement! 46:11 – Picks!

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Victor Savkin This week on My Angular Story, Charles speaks with Victor Savkin about his business Narwhal Technologies. In addition, they discuss Angular, past and current business projects, and their picks. Victor is a co-founder of nrwl.io, providing Angular consulting to enterprise teams. He was previously on the Angular core team at Google, and built the dependency injection, change detection, forms and router modules. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Victor’s background. Two of Victor’s past episodes on the “My Angular Story:” Episode 42 Episode 123 When and how did you get into programming? Back when Victor was in Russia and playing games. This brought him to the idea that “I could build my own game” when he was a teenager. Programming is hard and difficult, but also fun and enjoying. There is a creative side to this. State of flow. How did you go from creating games with Flash to Angular? Eventually ended up using Angular. Victor prefers to use on the backend. It’s interesting to see how things have changed, such as Data Flow and Business Logic. In what ways do you think it has improved? Charles first got into programming it was Rails. JavaScript sprinkles Ember into Angular Why does this feel much harder – because we are solving much more complicated issues. Look at the tools we have today. Trello How did you get into Angular 14? Dart What contributions do you feel that you have made on the Angular team? Angular Dart In writing Angular apps, Charles is curious, how is it different writing the framework vs. an app within the framework? What made you and Jeff leave Google and go start Narwhal Technologies (nrwl.io)? I felt like I could provide more value. What things have Narwhal been contributing to the community? What are you working on now? NX Personal life Wedding in August and buying a home for Victor.

Panel: Jonathan Stark Jeremy Green Eric Dietrich Charles Maxwood Rueven Lerner Curtis In this episode, the Freelancer show celebrates its 300th episode. The Freelancer show answers Q&A with past and new members to the panel. Topics cover best practices as a freelancer, making the jump into entrepreneurship, value-based pricing versus fixed pricing, and much more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: How do you get potential clients to talk to you and see if it’s a good fit? Person 1’s Answer: You want to have some sort of process in place. A precursor for working with client. Free 30-minute call for both of us. Person 2’s Answer: Go out to business conferences and business world to meet people. Be willing to make the phone calls, and connect on LinkedIn. You will meet a whole lot of people, and not everyone will be a good fit for you. Then you can start weeding out those that won’t be a good fit. Person 3’s Answer: Phone call, proposal phase, and then contract. Person 4’s Answer: Inbound and the Q&A. Person’s 5 Answer: Most of the leads are inbound (from conferences or blogs or Stack Overflow). Asking a lot of questions. Start the conversation over e-mail. For folks who have successfully disconnected time for money, what was that experience like for you, why did you do it, what were the challenges? Talk about the things you do and you’re not getting paid for your time. Person 1’s Answer: Training budgets. I made the disconnect the minute I stopped doing developmental work. How much do you really charge? Person 2’s Answer: Sponsorship episodes. Selling advertising it’s usually per unit. If you don’t think you’re getting a good value then it might not be a good match. Podcast sponsorships. Person 3’s Answer: In the beginning – it’s more an art than a science.

Panel: Charles Max Wood Aimee Knight AJ O’Neal Joe Eames Special Guests: Gareth McCumskey In this episode, JavaScript Jabber speaks with Gareth McCumskey about Serverless For JavaScript. Gareth leads the dev team at Expat Explore in Cape Town, South Africa. Gareth and this team specialize in exploring the Serverless realm in JavaScript. The JavaScript Jabbers panel and Gareth discuss the many different types of serverless systems, and when to implement them, how serverless system work, and when to go in the direction of using Serverless. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: What does it mean to be Serverless? Since platform as a service. Microservice on Docker Firebase “no backend” Backend systems Cloud functions and failure in systems How do you start to think about a serverless system? How do decide what to do?

(Breather) I’ve been seeing a lot of content and sitting back; since I’m not a health expert, I felt I had nothing urgent to contribute. But lately, I’ve been thinking about the way life has changed, and so suddenly. Earlier this month, we were barnstorming Las Vegas for basketball games and checking out a magic show, attended a concert in Nashville, went to Graceland in Memphis, and were sampling bourbon in New Orleans. I felt a minimal personal connection to the news I was reading; I have to confess to a flawed mindset about the early news of the virus and the suggestion of social distancing. I was taking Dr. Bruce Lipton's Biology of Belief message to heart (more on that later), and refusing to live in panic and fear of contracting the virus. If you’ve listened to my shows highlighting Dr. Lipton’s work about how thoughts affect cell function (part 1 here ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2019/06/21/bob1/ ) and part 2 here ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2019/06/28/bob2/ ) ), you’re familiar with the fact that stored negativity, fears, and anxiety elevate stress hormones, suppress immune function, and can cause illness... such as cancer and stress-related heart attacks. Healing with the power of the mind is profound, so check out books like Mind over Medicine ( https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Over-Medicine-Scientific-Yourself/dp/B00D5YD3K2/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Mind+over+Medicine+by+Lissa+Rankin.&qid=1585167153&sr=8-1 ) by Lissa Rankin if you’re interested in learning more. I usually have a pretty positive mindset and in hindsight, I didn't fully appreciate the concept of contributing to the exposure and transmission to those who are weak and vulnerable. The Spring Break partiers in Miami ( https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/2020/03/19/spring-break-beaches-florida-look-packed-despite-coronavirus-spread/2873248001/ ) might want to take heed. We are now being forced out of our self-absorbed dispositions to think about how our behavior impacts others globally. This is a huge positive takeaway and hopefully shift in consciousness for the future of humanity. Maybe more tolerance and acceptance will arise out of this, who knows? Also, something to keep in mind: not all youth are degenerate, insensitive partiers. There was a great LA Times article ( https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2020-03-22/ucla-natalie-chou-talks-racism-the-chinese-virus ) from UCLA baller Natalie Chou about how she’s been getting dismissive looks on the airplane because of her Chinese-American heritage, which she says has given her a slight sense of how her black teammates might feel every day. Chou also points out how inappropriate it is to call it the Chinese virus, especially certain leaders, considering it’s a global virus. Here are some things I’ve noticed so far have really helped me retain my positive mindset while dealing with this massive global life disruption: Challenge yourself to move away from complaining and focus on the positive. Anytime the slightest thought of ‘hassle” ( “Oh man, this is totally messing with my spring break!” ), I jump right to gratitude. Things could always be worse. Yes, the economy is taking a major hit, but people are resilient and will do their best to recover. We have survived worse as a society. My mother tells stories of growing up on the Oregon coast during WWII and following orders to turn off all lights after dark so enemy planes would not know where the coastline was! * Outdoors: viruses thrive and transmit in colder temperatures (that's why this occurred during winter and cold/flu season) and because people gather more indoors. I’ve noticed more people out on my usual trail runs and hikes, including kids. At least for some, there seems to be more impetus to get out of the house and get some fresh air. * A simpler life: Life is a lot less stressful when you’re not running around doing errands and attending public events. Of course, this is not going to go on forever, but find things to be grateful for, instead of complaining about what you can’t control. * Heightened productivity: I’ve had more time than ever to work on book writing and other content since life is simpler and more focused. * Watching more digital entertainment than ever before ( Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 10 ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264235/episodes ) !). * Greater appreciation for social connection in the experience of social distancing. * More awareness of how illnesses are transmitted. I try not to be a germ freak, but I can sometimes err on the other side of being oblivious or in denial. I'd also suggest that we were all in denial, every step of the way. The President did “an abrupt turn” from saying it was business as usual to sayin, ‘We gotta shut down.’ Maybe everyone was dragging their feet one step behind optimum due to economic fears? * Incredible gratitude for public servants on the front line, including Dr. Steve at Urgent Care, nurse practitioner Marie at Urgent Care, nurse Frances taking care of high risk populations near the epicenter of the disease outbreak in Seattle, and Dr. Katie dealing with administrative aspects as a medical executive... Back to early comments about going from personal to global, how about staying away to put less burden on first responders? Gratitude extends to people at grocery stores and restaurants staying open. In Bruce Lipton’s The Biology of Belief, he notes that “your thoughts affect cellular function at all times.” Here are some other interesting details: Viruses thrive in the respiratory tract in the winter, due to the breathing-in of colder air. Flu season is annual and generally the differences among the viruses each new season represent mutations (variations) of previous flu viruses. Human immune systems have dealt with variations of common flu viruses over centuries. The cross-reactivity of antigen sites (the parts of the virus that induces an immune response) on older and newer versions of the flu have pre-primed the human immune systems to suppress the aggressiveness of newer flu mutations. But once one of these animal viruses mutates, and starts to transfer from animals to humans, then it’s a problem. Why? Because we have no natural or acquired immunity...the RNA sequencing of the genes inside the virus isn’t human, and the human immune system doesn’t recognize it so, we can’t fight it off. Now.... sometimes, the mutation only allows transference from animal to human, for years its only transmission is from an infected animal to a human before it finally mutates, so that it can now transfer human to human...once that happens...we have a new contagion phase. Fast forward. Now, here comes this Coronavirus... it existed in animals only, and nobody knows for how long...but one day, at an animal market, in Wuhan China, in December 2019, it mutated and made the jump from animal to humans. At first, only animals could give it to a person... But here is the scary part.... in just TWO WEEKS it mutated again and gained the ability to jump from human to human. Scientists call this quick ability: “slippery.” This Coronavirus, not being in any form a “human” virus (whereas we would all have some natural or acquired immunity) took off like a rocket. And this was because humans have no known immunity… doctors have no known medicines for it. And it just so happens that this particular mutated animal virus changed itself in such a way that it causes great damage to human lungs.. And this is why the COVID-19 is problematic: This novel version of coronavirus-19 has antigenic characters that have not been previously experienced by human immune systems. Consequently, without any previous infections, almost all humans are susceptible to experience COVID-19. The biological novelty of this virus makes it quite infectious, and for some, a serious illness. Still, try to remember that the COVID-19 mortality data is biased and massively stress-producing! The percent of victims dying from the COVID-19 flu is based upon the total number of patients dying divided by the total number of cases that have been tested by a doctor or a medical center. The problem with the math is that symptoms of tens of thousands of COVID-19 patients either did not warrant going to a doctor, or they simply didn’t even show up at the doctor’s! Unfortunately, the media’s emphasis on the COVID-19 death statistics is a mathematical bias whose stressful forecast is itself responsible for weakening the public’s immune systems and aggravating the spread of disease. The biggest problem facing the public in this epidemic is not the rate of mortality, it is the overwhelming stress on doctors, nurses and the medical system which is not prepared to deal with a massive epidemic. The truth is, the majority of COVID-19 deaths have occurred among adults aged 60 years and up, and among persons with serious underlying health conditions. The data is simple: COVID-19 deaths are primarily associated with the elderly and infirmed. If you are not part of that population, the vast majority of COVID-19 infected people will most likely not have serious symptoms. The government is also significantly responsible for the failure of our medical system to manage infected patients. Between dismissing the country’s governmental committee dealing with epidemics and reducing the budgets of the NIH and other health-related agencies, the medical community has been undermined and left profoundly short-handed by the current administration. To deal with this major COVID-19 threat, it is vitally important to reduce the load on the healthcare system. This is the intention implied in, “flattening the curve,” which simply means reducing the rate of infections through practices, such as those suggested by Dr. Bruce Lipton below. It should also be noted that it is a scientific fact that positive and negative thinking have a profound effect on the function of the immune system. One of the leading fronts in immunologic research is the field of Psychoneuroimmunology. Psychoneuroimmunology research clearly reveals that consciousness controls the function of the immune system. Positive consciousness is responsible for the Placebo Effect , wherein the mind can heal almost any disease, while stress and negative thinking create the Nocebo Effect , which can cause almost any disease. The fear of COVID-19, coupled with the resulting threats to survival, profoundly inhibits the population’s immune system and further exacerbates the epidemic. So, is the COVID-19 epidemic to go on and on? The answer is clearly: NO! As is evidenced by the almost complete cessation of new COVID-19 cases in China and South Korea, the epidemic will come to an end. But while we wait for that time to come, check out what Dr. Lipton suggests below. His advice is geared towards anyone wanting to stay healthy by using a few practices that will empower your immune system and lessen any COVID-19 symptoms: * Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Eat nutritious natural, organic food; take vitamins and supplements, especially large doses of Vitamin C; wash more frequently than normal, back away from the computer and move about (something I have to learn to do as well!). * Recognize that the vast majority of healthy people, below 65 years of age, are likely to have only mild COVID-19 symptoms. Those whose health is already compromised and those who are elderly and receiving care are the most susceptible to severe illness. These individuals should take ALL prescribed cautions offered by the CDC. * Make every effort to de-stress! Sports, play, nature walks, meditation exercises, be in love, read a book, watch a movie. Basically, RELAX, for this will significantly enhance the function of your immune system and reduce the severity of any COVID-19 symptom. * You can help in “flattening the curve” to prevent overwhelming the medical system by taking care of yourself and supporting those in need in your community. Following the present governmental guidelines to stay home and physically distance from others will also help to not overwhelm the medical system. These are health-enhancing practices that will empower your immune system while helping others overcome their fears and infection. In conclusion, many people who fall ill with the new COVID-19 disease will most likely experience mild, flu-like symptoms, fever, coughing and a sore throat, with over 80% of infected people having a mild to moderate illness that lasts about two weeks. The remaining 20% will have more severe symptoms that may need medical attention, but these symptoms can be relieved with proper treatment. *TIMESTAMPS:* If you are harboring negativity, fear, anxiety, you are going to have these feelings manifest in your physical health. [04:01] Maybe a positive takeaway from this pandemic is that it is forcing us to get out of that self-absorbed disposition and think about how our behavior impacts others around the globe. [08:51] Escape the mindset of complaining and focus on something positive instead. [11:03] There is a noticeable increase in the number of people enjoying the outside. [12:34] We are leading a simpler and more focused life these days. [13:25] Brad has gained appreciation and awareness of how illnesses are transmitted. [15:34] We need to have incredible gratitude for the folks on the front lines. [17:18] In the beginning, the virus jumped from animals to humans but then in two weeks, it was able to transmit human to human. This is called Slippery in Scientific terms. [20:06] The medical community has been undermined and left profoundly shorthanded. [23:29] Consciousness controls the function of the immune system. [24:42] The media’s emphasis on death statistics is responsible for weakening the public’s immune system. [25:58] Stay healthy. Eat good healthy food. Wash your hands more frequently. Take more time outdoors.

(Breather) Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy and is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers: The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and her latest book, Dare to Lead, which is the culmination of a seven-year study on courage and leadership. Brené’s TED talk ― The Power of Vulnerability ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7o ) ― is one of the top five most viewed TED talks in the world with over 35 million views. Today, I’ll be sharing the most eye-opening revelations and life-altering lessons I’ve gained from Brené’s fascinating research and work. *Empathy* Developing empathy requires that you look into someone’s eyes and reflect their story back to them. But, “ *empathy is not the default human response.”* Brené points out how hard it can be to “understand and accept other people, *particularly when they behave disgracefully.* You still have to work hard to tell them, ‘I get it.’ No one reaches out to you so that they can be taught how to behave better! They reach out because they believe in your capacity to know your darkness well enough so that you can sit in their darkness with them ― to have empathy for them.” Unfortunately, we have a tendency to flip on the lights. We say, “Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal. Everyone makes mistakes.” *However, this is not empathetic.* Neither is lecturing them about how lame they are (a good reminder for parents out there). Brené stresses that, *“* *we cannot feel empathy for others beyond the love and compassion we have for ourselves.”* Everyone runs into a moment (or two or three or fifty) of having screwed up something in their lives. And when this happens to someone you know and they come to you, Brené advises that, instead of reacting to the situation from a judgemental perspective or making light of it, *the most helpful, effective, and empathetic response you can give them is to say, “You can do this. You can take this on.”* Brené says you can “climb into the hole with them” but you also need to be sure that you don’t get trapped in that hole with them - you need to be able to get out. Of course you’re going to want to give your love, energy, kindness, and support, but you don’t want to get dragged down by other people’s issues. This is because doing so signifies that you are over-identifying, codependent, etc. Look at it this way: *Sympathy is, “I feel bad for you,” not, “I feel with you.”* *Vulnerability* What even is vulnerability? It is: * Asking for help, saying, ‘I don’t know” * Facing up to difficult situations and decisions * Getting promoted and feeling like you’re not sure you’re up for it * Getting fired * Initiating sex with your partner * It is uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure * It is loving someone and knowing that you cannot control if they love you back *Vulnerability is actually our most accurate measure of courage.* It is not weakness ― that is the biggest myth. Brené says: “In the face of contention, don’t shrink, don’t puff up ― just stand your sacred ground: whole-hearted and empathetic. *This is the goal for evolving to your highest self.”* Brené then references studies of whole-hearted people, and highlights how *they cultivate rest and play.* She shares that these whole-hearted people actually *“piddle around and waste time a lot.”* And around 1/4 of whole-hearted, empathetic people are raised that way with optimal parenting. For the rest, empathy and whole-heartedness is a skill to cultivate. But, *modern, messed up cultural dynamics have led us to regard exhaustion as a status symbol, and productivity as a measurement of self-worth* (think of triathlete culture, workaholics that we all know or are personally, harried supermoms trying to do everything they can for everyone, helicopter parenting, etc.). Brené’s insights prompt you to r *e* *think the ideas we all have* and *reprioritize* being *whole-hearted* and *taking care of yourself.* *Another important part of vulnerability is accountability.* Brené frames accountability as *“* *authenticity, action, and amends.”* A good example is saying, and acknowledging, *‘This is what I did, this is how I’m going to fix it.’* *Shame* Brené reveals that we always judge in the areas where we ourselves are most vulnerable to shame. Further, we always pick people who are doing worse than we are doing, because we are seeking validation, through the idea that, Well, at least I’m better than this person I am judging. The reason why *shame feels bad is because it’s about your character.* No wonder shame is strongly correlated with depression and addiction! Contrastingly, *guilt can actually be productive and adaptive* , because it’s rooted in your behavior. “The shame triggers are your prerequisites for worthiness,” Brené reveals, and these are usually handed down from our upbringing. As my show ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2019/06/28/bob2/ ) covering Dr. Bruce Lipton’s book, The Biology of Belief ( https://www.amazon.com/Biology-Belief-10th-Anniversary-Consciousness/dp/140195247X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=bruce+lipton+the+biology+of+belief&qid=1595556981&sr=8-1 ) , explains, most of us are still carting around emotional baggage from early childhood programming and this has a serious effect on our bodies, precisely because of how strongly and directly our thoughts affect our cellular function. Brené says that *shame “has one purpose only: to discharge pain*. It serves no other use.” Here are some highlights from Brené’s Netflix special, Call to Courage: * *Vulnerability is not a sign of weakness.* Despite what some may think, Brené says, *“Vulnerability is our most accurate way to measure courage* , and we literally do that as researchers.” Vulnerability actually allows them to assess fearlessness: *“We can measure how brave you are by how vulnerable you’re willing to be.”* * *There are numerous benefits that come with opening up.* Brené says vulnerability is the “birthplace” of things like love and joy. Pointing out the risks that come with love, Brené asked her audience: *“Are you 100% sure that person will always love you back, will never leave, will never get sick? How many of you have every buried someone you love? How many of you have lost someone you love?* *To love is to be vulnerable,* to give someone your heart and say, ‘I know this could hurt so bad, but I'm willing to do it; I’m willing to be vulnerable and love you.’ *When we lose our capacity for vulnerability, joy becomes foreboding.* It becomes scary to let ourselves feel it.” * *Being vulnerable has advantages even at work.* Brené’s advice to a company with a huge creativity and innovation problem was...you guessed it: vulnerability. *“No vulnerability, no creativity.* No tolerance for failure, no innovation. It is that simple,” she said, adding: *“if you're not willing to fail, you can’t innovate. If you’re not willing to build a vulnerable culture, you can’t create.”* * *Vulnerability is inescapable.* Here’s the thing: even if you think you are avoiding being vulnerable, you are still, in fact experiencing the emotion. Brené says: *“You do vulnerability knowingly, or vulnerability does you.”* Highlighting the importance of openness, she said: *“It is so much easier to cause pain than feel pain* , *and people are taking their pain and they’re working it out on other people.* And when you don’t acknowledge your vulnerability, you work your shit out on other people. Stop working your shit out on other people!” * *The choice to embrace exposure is easier in the end.* “Vulnerability is hard, and it’s scary, and it feels dangerous, but it’s not as hard, scary or dangerous as getting to the end of our lives and having to ask ourselves, *‘What if I would’ve shown up?’* ‘What if I would’ve said, I love you?’ *Show up, be seen, answer the call to courage*...‘cause you’re worth it. You’re worth being brave.” *TIMESTAMPS:* To develop empathy, you must look into the other person's eyes and reflect their story back to them. [05:29] We cannot feel empathy for others beyond the love and compassion that we have for ourselves. [07:20] Vulnerability is not a weakness. It is being powerful. [08:24] Accountability is authenticity, action, and amends. [10:42] Shame is destructive because it’s about your character. [10:55] We can measure how brave you are by how vulnerable you’re willing to be. [12:26] There are many benefits to opening up. [13:23] Being vulnerable at work has advantages. [14:17] Vulnerability is inescapable. [15:00] Show up. Be seen. Answer the call to courage because you’re worth it.
