Podcast appearances and mentions of Matt Hern

The suburbs haven't got a great press recently on KEEN ON. First there was Benjamin Herold, author of Disillusioned, who found the dead body of the American Dream in the American suburb. And then David Masciotra, author of Exurbia Now, discovered political lethargy and reaction in the outer suburbs of American “exurbia”. Matt Hern, however, disagrees, finding in the suburbs the very political energy and engagement that he believes have been lost from the gentrified inner cities of London, Vancouver and San Francisco. Indeed, Hern, a Canadian urban activist and author of the new Outside the Outside, believes that the “sub-urbs” are the very vibrant places of political resistance and regeneration that can offer a positive model for progressive critics of neo-liberal urbanism. Matt Hern lives in Richmond, BC on xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) territory.  He is the co-founder and co-director of Solid State Community Industries and has led many other community projects.  He teaches with multiple universities, continues to lecture globally and his books and articles have been translated into nineteen languages.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children. This is a public episode.

Matt Hern began to examine urban displacement when he first encountered an empty lot in the northeast sector of Portland, OR. This corner was the site of a community resisting against gentrification. In this episode, Chris Gondak speaks with Matt Hern about the inspiration for his book, and the battles that many urban communities are fighting across North America. Portland, Oregon, is one of the most beautiful, livable cities in the United States. It has walkable neighborhoods, bike lanes, low-density housing, public transportation, and significant green space--not to mention craft-beer bars and locavore food trucks. But liberal Portland is also the whitest city in the country. This is not circumstance; the city has a long history of officially sanctioned racialized displacement that continues today. Over the last two and half decades, Albina--the one major Black neighborhood in Portland--has been systematically uprooted by market-driven gentrification and city-renewal policies. African Americans in Portland were first pushed into Albina and then contained there through exclusionary zoning, predatory lending, and racist real estate practices. Since the 1990s, they've been aggressively displaced--by rising housing costs, developers eager to get rid of low-income residents, and overt city policies of gentrification. Displacement and dispossessions are convulsing cities across the globe, becoming the dominant urban narratives of our time. In What a City Is For, Matt Hern uses the case of Albina, as well as similar instances in New Orleans and Vancouver, to investigate gentrification in the twenty-first century. In an engaging narrative, effortlessly mixing anecdote and theory, Hern questions the notions of development, private property, and ownership. Arguing that home ownership drives inequality, he wants us to disown ownership. How can we reimagine the city as a post-ownership, post-sovereign space? Drawing on solidarity economics, cooperative movements, community land trusts, indigenous conceptions of alternative sovereignty, the global commons movement, and much else, Hern suggests repudiating development in favor of an incrementalist, non-market-driven unfolding of the city. Matt Hern is Codirector of 2+10 Industries, teaches at multiple universities, and lectures widely. He is the author of Common Ground in a Liquid City. Learn more about your ad choices.

All countries have distinctive urban regions, but Canadian cities especially differ from one another in culture, structure, and history.  SFU prof Anthony Perl's new book Big Moves: Global Agendas, Local Aspirations, and Urban Mobility in Canada (co-authored with Matt Hern and Jeffrey R. Kenworthy) dissects how Canada's three largest urban regions have been shaped by the interplay of globalized imperatives, aspirations, activism, investment, and local development initiatives. In this episode Gordon and Anthony examine the various historical triumphs and faux pas of Canada's Big Three cities, and whether the Canadian tendency toward ‘accommodation through equivocation' has held us back, or helped us dodge some American urban pitfalls.

Hands up who has done a spreadsheet budget at home, our even paid a company to do one for them and "take control" yet they find themselves back at square one in struggle again, or they continually find themselves deviating from what they put on their money spreadsheet? I will totally put my hand up to that, because I've been there and done that and if you have too, this episode will really get your mind ticking over.It's a combination of behavioural science in humans, habit discussion, money management and budgeting - WITH realistic tips and suggestions to get a hold of it right now. That’s why most people who do a budget don’t end up saving. The man behind the mic in this episode is Matt Hern. Matt has advised people for the last 15 years on the right financial decisions to achieve their goals, working as a Certified Financial professional. Now he offers money coaching to teach people a system, thats extremely personalised to them with their habits and behaviour surrounding money. He creates a system that automates their budgeting and supports them while they embed new, healthier habits.This podcast discussion brings into it a topic which is so important, as a parent which is the next generation and how they might not listen to us, but they definitely copy us - Making the relationship we have with money and how we behave with it vital for their ability to manage their money successfully in the future and become financially independent adults. And as my podcasts are at the moment, we talk about Coronavirus and the impact it has had on individuals and the economy as well as what the future financial reality might be. A possible controversial deviation of the idea that a personas individual financial income and savings can impact the global financial market. The more debt a person carries the more they borrow and the more they need financial aid, putting resources there as opposed to other areas that may be needed. It's a good ending to spice up the podcast and your experience at home in social isolation!!Matt makes a very good point, which sums the whole podcast up and that is that - Often we assume that struggling to stick to a budget is our fault. It’s not a character flaw, it’s a design flaw in the systems we’ve tried.I highly recommend you taking the opportunity while your at home with more time than you have had before to benefit from his free mini-guide "How to stick to a budget" which is available when you subscribe to his newsletter via his website link below:Website: https://matthern.com.au/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/matthern/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matthern_moneyguide/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/matthernYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/mattatfindre/

What does it mean to use and enjoy a city park on unceded Indigenous land? Am Johal interviews co-authors of “On This Patch of Grass: City Parks on Occupied Land” (Fernwood Publishing 2019), Matt Hern and Selena Couture, who wrote the book with two of their daughters, Sadie Couture and Daisy Couture. As a white settler family, they have lived near and around East Vancouver’s Victoria Park (AKA Bocce Ball Park) for years. Interrogating the concept of urban parks as colonial constructs, they investigate the land politics of this small green space with such a multiplicity of overlapping users and sovereignties. About the book: https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/on-this-patch-of-grass

What does it take to confront the realities of global warming and find the sweetness of life? Authors, Matt Hern and Am Johal, open up about their own struggles with this question, the journey they took to answer it, and the book they wrote about it all.

In their new book, Global Warming and The Sweetness of Life, co-authors Matt Hern and Am Johal claim that any question of ecology is a primarily a question of land politics and sovereignty. In order to grapple with new definitions of ecology, they set off on a road trip with cartoonist Joe Sacco to visit the tar sands of Northern Alberta. During their travels, they spoke to people about their relationships to land and extractive capitalism. Am Johal talks with us about the book.
