Lusine - “Dreaming (feat. Asy Saavedra)" from the 2023 album Long Light on Ghostly International Records Seattle-based producer Jeff McIlwain — aka Lusine — returns with his ninth full-length, Long Light. The album takes its title from a lyric in the title track, written by collaborator Benoît Pioulard: "long light signaling the fall again," reflective of the artist's now 20-year career. “Music making is a struggle and you have to have a ton of patience,” McIlwain shares in a press statement. He adds, “There's this sort of paranoia where you don't know what is real, it's an age of high anxiety and there are all these distractions. It's like a fun house mirror situation.”  Across the eleven tracks on the album, McIlwain's signature loops are as mesmerizing as ever. The LP features guest appearances from Sarah Jaffe, longtime collaborator Vilja Larjosto, the aforementioned Pioulard, and on today's Song of the Day, Asy Saavedra of Chaos Chaos and formerly Smoosh.

Nataraj interviewed veteran VC Matt McIlwain of Madrona Venture Group on Startup Project podcast. Matt shared his insights into the state of venture capital and the impacts of AI, drawn from his 20+ years of experience. Some key takeaways: 1. Venture is a "tale of two cities" now - later stage startups are struggling, earlier stage companies embracing AI are thriving 2. Seattle has unmatched talent but lacks local capital - still over-reliant on Silicon Valley VCs 3. Incumbents have the edge currently in leveraging AI due to data, customers, ability to integrate via APIs - but long term, AI-native startups will win out 4. Partnerships forming between big tech and AI startups provide startups with computing resources while allowing tech giants to take an open, marketplace approach to AI I highly recommend tuning in to hear Matt's take on venture capital, AI, and building an enduring company.

Avery Dame-Griff's The Two Revolutions: A History of the Transgender Internet (NYU Press, 2023) explores how the rise of the internet shaped transgender identity and activism from the 1980s to the present. Through extensive archival research and media archeology, Avery Dame-Griff reconstructs the manifold digital networks of transgender activists, cross-dressing computer hobbyists, and others interested in gender nonconformity who incited the second revolution of the title: the ascendance of “transgender” as an umbrella identity in the mid-1990s. Dame-Griff argues that digital communications sparked significant momentum within what would become the transgender movement, but also further cemented existing power structures. Covering both a historical period that is largely neglected within the history of computing, and the poorly understood role of technology in queer and trans social movements, The Two Revolutions offers a new understanding of both revolutions—the internet's early development and the structures of communication that would take us to today's tipping point of trans visibility politics.

Episode 107: Using fiction as a way to educate, heal and connect This is an interview on using fiction as a way to educate, heal and connect. I absolutely loved recording this episode and I hope you love the stories that Jolene shares with us.  From Jolene: In my stories I've focused on the effects of fertility on women, the men who care for them, and small town culture around issues of fertility. In my stories, I've chosen to use specific and medical jargon and terms relating to, specifically, women's health issues to bring awareness. I've written stories about infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy, high-risk pregnancy, pre-term labor, endometriosis, mental health issues, PTSD, post-natal PTSD. I've written at least one story (“You Four Are the One”) using a technique in therapy treatment for people with PTSD called RECON (reconsolidation therapy) by Courtney Armstrong. I'm hoping our talk will inspire others to write their own fictional (or nonfiction) stories of fertility and women's health issues. I'm hoping they'll buy SIDLE CREEK and they'll find they're not alone. Jolene McIlwain's work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and appears in numerous online and print literary journals including West Branch, Florida Review, Cincinnati Review, CRAFT, Smokelong Quarterly, New Orleans Review, LITRO, and more.   Her work was included in 2019's Best Small Fictions Anthology and named finalist for 2018's Best of the Net, Glimmer Train's and River Styx's contests, and semifinalist in Nimrod's Katherine Anne Porter Prize and two American Short Fictions contests. She's received a Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council grant, the Georgia Court Chautauqua faculty scholarship, and Tinker Mountain's merit scholarship.    She's taught literary theory/analysis at Duquesne and Chatham Universities, and she worked as a radiologic technologist before attending college (BS English, minor in sculpture, MA Literature). She was born, raised, and currently lives in a small town in the Appalachian plateau of Western Pennsylvania.    Her debut, SIDLE CREEK, out with Melville House this spring, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and Shelf Awareness calls it a “riveting debut collection” and “a rare gem, a compelling blend of nature and humanity perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer and Daisy Johnson's Fen."

It is recognizing how you can take your situation and tournament those handcuffs in a tournament of powerful tools. Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   00:00:28:01 - 00:00:41:08 Sam Wilson David McElwain is a seasoned entrepreneur and successful executive with deep experience in business growth, scale and delivering results. His real estate experience is vast, spanning over 20 years. David, welcome to the show.   00:00:42:08 - 00:00:46:14 David McIlwaine Sam I love hearing all that with a deep baritone voice. Thank you so much for having me.   00:00:47:02 - 00:00:56:04 Sam Wilson David The pleasure is mine. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   00:00:57:03 - 00:01:23:11 David McIlwaine I started in corporate America running a sales force after 25 years in the advertising industry. I got downsized. 18 months later, I was downsized again after being the chief revenue officer for a tech startup, and I went through a divorce. So what happened is I could no longer live on an airplane as a high flying corporate executive carrying a tiny suitcase in a tiny briefcase and sitting in seat one day.   00:01:23:22 - 00:01:40:17 David McIlwaine I had to figure out to make a living on my own. And I came to realize I came into real estate. Fast forward ten years later, I own a residential real estate brokerage and I'm a general partner in a thousand multifamily doors and on a private equity real estate firm helping investors to maximize their returns.   00:01:40:23 - 00:01:56:06 Sam Wilson Oh, that's cool. I love that. I love that. What what were the things that took you for that said Hook that said, hey, real estate's the way. That's the next path forward after getting. Well, it was once, but twice. I mean, that's that's painful in and of itself.   00:01:56:23 - 00:02:20:02 David McIlwaine It was pretty painful. Was that the day I got cut, the first time was a merger. And I lost my job the day I hit the quota for the upcoming quarter. And it was like my, I don't know, 13th or 14th quarter in a row. I had hit the budget prior to the start. Wow. So. So my team and I were pretty good at what we did.   00:02:21:03 - 00:02:57:00 David McIlwaine Corporate merger. If you've been a top shelf dog, you know that a merger means job loss, huh? Period. Every single time. And from there, I went to Tech and I said, okay, I'm good up. Dust myself off and get back up on the horse. I did. I reversed seven negatives, quarters of revenue decline and lost my job the day after we closed on a series big round of funding because the CEO came in and said, Hey, Chief Revenue Officer, those 35 sales executives, you were going to hire those 35 reps.   00:02:58:06 - 00:03:24:18 David McIlwaine We're not going to hire them because we paid off our debt. I said, what debt? And I'm the second in command and I didn't know about that. Oh, wow. Yeah. So I got to real estate because I realized that I could never again give away agency over my career to the vagaries of someone else's decision making.   00:03:25:02 - 00:03:44:18 Sam Wilson Right, right. Yeah. Me. And that's powerful. That's powerful. And that's I mean, it's I can't imagine I've never lived in that world, but I mean, just hearing that this makes my skin kind of crawl like, wow, okay, so you've done everything you're supposed to do. You've done it, all right? You've hit home runs for the company, and they're like, Hey, thanks.   00:03:45:09 - 00:04:15:03 David McIlwaine Yeah. And and it's happened. I watch it happen to my father in the eighties. I watch it happen to my friends. I watched it even happened to my former wife. I've watch it happen to people. Odd ends tonight. A thing. And I'm not saying that corporate America is bad. Hear me out. I'm saying that we as investors and entrepreneurs and if you're listening to this podcast, you're listening because you want to learn something, you want to invest in something, you want to grow something.   00:04:15:03 - 00:04:25:17 David McIlwaine And all of us are seeking some knowledge. Right. And I say this because I don't want people being blindsided. Mm hmm. And it's painful.   00:04:26:03 - 00:04:35:22 Sam Wilson Absolutely. Absolutely. You saw it. You saw real estate as the next thing to get into. What was what what were the steps in that journey that bring you to today?   00:04:36:24 - 00:05:03:09 David McIlwaine Well, it's real simple. In advertising, the Internet destroyed a lot of vehicles and created a lot of vehicles. And I had seen technology displace realtors. I have seen technology displace newspapers. I have seen Amazon displace retailers. So I went through a through a moses in the desert period. And I looked at all kinds of different ways that I could meet certain criteria.   00:05:03:16 - 00:05:28:18 David McIlwaine One of them is to never be dis displaced by Amazon or technology. That was a real core foundation of mine is I've got to have a product and an offering that the technology cannot take away. His introductions. People are petrified. I'm not. The second thing I had to do was find a way to build wealth for others, and that was really important.   00:05:28:18 - 00:05:55:15 David McIlwaine I didn't want to build wealth for me. I got enough. I'm okay. But what I really enjoy is teaching others how to make critical decisions, how to think for themselves, and how to create agency and sovereignty in their lives. All right. So there's items one items, too, out of three. What products fulfill that shelter? Shelter does not get replaced.   00:05:55:24 - 00:06:18:10 David McIlwaine We might replace around the edges, but ultimately, at the end of the day, every single one of us, according to Maslow, and he was right. We have a hierarchy of needs. Food, clothing, shelter. Right. So I'm not going to provide food. I'm not a very good farmer. I got a garden growing right now and I'm waiting for the yield.   00:06:18:11 - 00:06:39:03 David McIlwaine My first thing was a couple of slices of dill, so I was happy to see that. But I can't feed the masses. Right? I'm not God. I'm not going to make it rain and I've done a rain dance and it didn't yield any fruit. So therefore, oh, shelter, I can help with that. And that led me to multifamily into housing.   00:06:39:12 - 00:06:53:07 David McIlwaine So I started as an agent, went from an agent to a brokerage owner, from a brokerage owner and single family. I bought some investments. Then I discovered the power of multifamily and the power of leverage. And I jumped on it. Jumped in with both feet.   00:06:53:16 - 00:07:08:22 Sam Wilson That's cool. I love that. And that, you know, and that that brings two things that satisfies you're never be displaced and then building your wealth for others idea. Tell me where you guys have a thousand units at this point?   00:07:09:10 - 00:07:11:20 David McIlwaine Mm hmm. That's cool. 2000 doors.   00:07:11:24 - 00:07:16:12 Sam Wilson I love it. 1000 doors. I'm sorry. Yeah, a thousand doors at this point.   00:07:16:20 - 00:07:17:10 David McIlwaine What?   00:07:17:12 - 00:07:37:14 Sam Wilson What has been that journey like? And where are you guys now? I mean, a lot of operators have gone penciled down. It's July of 2023. I get the year right that we're recording this. So where are you guys now in that process? Are you still actively buying? If so, what and where and why? Tell me. Tell me about that side of your business.   00:07:38:03 - 00:08:00:12 David McIlwaine Well, it's been a challenge for sure. We haven't made an acquisition in over 12 months. We were in the middle of an acquisition in Q2 of last year when the Fed raised rates for the first time and then they raised rates by the BI. It hurts my heart to think about the number of percentage rate by 500 basis point over 350 basis points in 90 days.   00:08:00:21 - 00:08:44:23 David McIlwaine Yeah. And we weren't able to perform on a contract and we lost over $1,000,000 earnest money. My partner's like, whoa. Oh, wow. Yeah. Whoa. And talk about great learnings. You know, it's it's a great series of learnings. And one of the biggest learnings that I came away with this was, okay, I can't control the Fed. And that might sound like a stupid learning, but the reality is that there's so much that people think they can control that is out of their control.   00:08:45:03 - 00:09:00:01 David McIlwaine MM. But what I can do is make informed, strategic, calculated risks. And perhaps we hadn't made the right calculator at risk how they were.   00:09:00:18 - 00:09:01:19 Sam Wilson I'm sorry. Go ahead. I cut you.   00:09:01:19 - 00:09:03:01 David McIlwaine Off. No, go ahead. Go ahead.   00:09:03:22 - 00:09:17:13 Sam Wilson What things? Looking back on that. Okay. Yeah. Hindsight's 2020, I think. Maybe not. All right, but. Okay, so you lost $1,000,000 in earnest money. Maybe you didn't calculate.   00:09:17:15 - 00:09:25:22 David McIlwaine But my partners and I lost it. I didn't lose it all. I did lose a big six figure number. But yeah, we as a team lost over $1,000,000.   00:09:26:01 - 00:09:44:03 Sam Wilson I don't like losing a dollar. I lost a $50 bill. We were on vacation last week and I had to take the kids down to the pool. And so I stuck a 50 in my driver's license in my back pocket, in my swimsuit, and then somehow are Urumqi. Urumqi and a $50 bill because I didn't want to take other stuff with me.   00:09:44:03 - 00:09:55:14 Sam Wilson And I lost a 50 at some point, I'm like, Oh, crud, where'd that go? Of course, by this point in time, it's gone. I was upset about that, like, Oh my God, I'm an idiot. But it wasn't $1,000,000. I mean.   00:09:55:18 - 00:09:59:01 David McIlwaine Yeah, well, losing money is easy, right?   00:09:59:22 - 00:10:03:02 Sam Wilson Yeah, it is. It is like that. It's very easy.   00:10:03:02 - 00:10:30:00 David McIlwaine Losing is easy. Learning from it is growth. Yeah. So a couple of the things that we learned, right? I can't I can't predict the Fed. I have to be much more sensitive to the winds of change in the investor community. The reason we fell apart was that we had a 1031 exchange that came to us at the 11th hour and said, We're not going to do it.   00:10:30:15 - 00:10:44:21 David McIlwaine We'd already had three extensions, and that was about 18% of our total investment, and we didn't have enough time from the seller to reload that. Ten $31 amount. Yeah.   00:10:44:24 - 00:11:02:20 Sam Wilson And and they had you by the throat. By the barrel. Yeah. With a million bucks on the line and they see that as like. So you're saying if I don't extend I get $1,000,000. Okay. Twist my arm. I don't extend. That's basically what happened.   00:11:03:16 - 00:11:28:02 David McIlwaine Yeah. The reality is that they extended twice already and they were just tired of it. So I understand it. It makes sense to me. I don't like it, you know, and I can dig in a whole bunch of operational issues or I could dig into a whole bunch of emotional issues. And the lessons there are really powerful. Like when the Fed starts making moves, people do react.   00:11:28:20 - 00:11:31:21 David McIlwaine The entire commercial real estate marketplace is seized.   00:11:32:08 - 00:11:45:22 Sam Wilson Yeah, slowed down a lot. What is it? You're a year, what? 70, 75% fewer multifamily transactions? I think that's right.   00:11:45:22 - 00:12:14:15 David McIlwaine I think we're I think we're at 15% of year over year transactions. Yeah. So it's fallen off by 70 to 80%. Right. Either way, you look at it. Right, it's a huge hole. And your listeners might be thinking, so what? Here's what that means to everybody. If there are no transactions, intrinsically, values are not known. The if the values are not known, it makes it really hard to secure financing.   00:12:15:04 - 00:12:43:24 David McIlwaine Financing is the number one expense of every commercial real estate investment because we make money for leverage. So we want to use financing as a tool to expand our profits and your returns. Right. So if we don't have that that transactional volume, we don't have value, we don't have good financing numbers. Therefore, we also don't have any development or greatly reduced development.   00:12:43:24 - 00:13:08:04 David McIlwaine As we have greatly reduced development, the pipeline for the future shrinks further. Homebuilders get scared. Condo builders get scared. The reason all of us have all this value in our home is that we are honest because there's a national supply of housing. There's a shortage. There's a national shortage of housing. Compound this with code and you've got all kinds of things coming at us.   00:13:08:16 - 00:13:34:11 David McIlwaine So the lack of volume is not just about somebody not losing commissions or not making commissions. It really does affect a large swath of people. And it's jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. Right. Politics is local and politics is jobs. The economy is jobs. The economy is pay it. And all of these things have an impact and a domino effect for sure.   00:13:36:18 - 00:13:48:21 Sam Wilson That they do. What are you doing right now, then, to position yourself to take advantage of this economic cycle or that wherever we are in this economic cycle, I guess I should say.   00:13:49:10 - 00:14:13:08 David McIlwaine A of things are going on. I've been pencils down for a while. I'm putting a pic of my pencil back up. We are starting to see some normalcy. Lending is starting to slow, slowly return. The Fed has a requirement to lend so much to Fannie and Freddie and they need to hit those lending targets. So there will be some easing of lending constraints.   00:14:13:23 - 00:14:41:08 David McIlwaine The DC hours, the debt service coverage ratios have skyrocketed now on what they require. So it used to be that you had to have a 1.2 times cash flow to pay your debt service. Now it's 1.3. Mm. So that's a 50% increase in the free cash you have to have in an asset to get lending. Right, which means you can't borrow the same leverage, which means you got to borrow less, which means the investor is getting smaller returns no matter what.   00:14:41:22 - 00:14:46:10 Sam Wilson In the investor is getting smaller returns and assets have to come down in price.   00:14:47:11 - 00:15:07:11 David McIlwaine Or the lend. It has to go up in the assets, have it come down in price, which is why the market is seized. Right? Because if you're selling one of your properties, you believe that it's worth X and the market says it's worth X minus Y, but you don't need to sell it. There's no compelling reason for you to sell it.   00:15:07:11 - 00:15:42:05 David McIlwaine Why would you write? Right. And so part of that freight train is coming because commercial properties are typically mortgaged on five year cycles. And a lot of them in the last go go version of the teens had or the toes have been leveraged on 3 to 5 year floating rates. And those are coming due. So I'm starting to look at the beginnings of that freight train, doing shows like this to talk to people about our company and what we do and to get out the word that you can still make money in real estate.   00:15:42:13 - 00:16:05:13 David McIlwaine We're also looking at some different asset classes, like self-storage, like some funds for oil and natural gas, build for build to rent and and townhomes and apartment complexes. So it's not completely void. It's just that were shifting our focus more to education right now than we are to acquisition because we don't want to acquire just to acquire.   00:16:05:15 - 00:16:13:01 Sam Wilson Right. Right. No, no, you don't. You mean you could. You can you could easily just buy yourself a job and or a an albatross.   00:16:13:11 - 00:16:17:24 David McIlwaine If you buy yourself an albatross and not the can you have a golf when you when you get a two out of five.   00:16:18:13 - 00:16:26:00 Sam Wilson Right. No, not that. This is this is the what was the rhyme of the Ancient Mariner? Wasn't that the albatross? Not.   00:16:26:06 - 00:16:31:19 David McIlwaine Yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about. I can't remember exactly, but it's a heavy burden on your shoulders, right?   00:16:31:23 - 00:16:43:14 Sam Wilson It's a dead bird. They hang around the guy, right? Yeah. Because he shot the bird in the bird was right. And so then they shot it. They made they made the sailor where the dead bird around his neck. So that's the albatross around your neck reference like. Oh, great. And it's.   00:16:43:20 - 00:16:46:01 David McIlwaine And it's heavy and sticky and a burden and a.   00:16:46:01 - 00:17:09:20 Sam Wilson Burden. Right. So you might just get yourself an out. I've never talked about that here on the podcast before. Okay. On that nasty thought, let's keep moving. I do want to talk about something. Speaking of mindset, it's a mindset shift. One of the things I see a lot on social media from you is just that talking about your mindset, talking about getting I think your podcast is your best is your podcast called Break Your Golden Handcuffs.   00:17:09:20 - 00:17:12:00 Sam Wilson Do you have a podcast called that or is that just the name of your.   00:17:12:17 - 00:17:18:06 David McIlwaine That is correct. My podcast is called Break Your Gold Handcuffs Available Wherever you get your your podcast. Tell me a.   00:17:18:06 - 00:17:31:09 Sam Wilson Little bit about that and then tell me what some of the things are you cover on that show, because I think this is relevant to kind of just how you're approaching your business. And then, you know, to a lot of our listeners, I think some of what you're sharing here would be incredibly valuable.   00:17:31:23 - 00:17:53:03 David McIlwaine Well, I appreciate that, Sam. So the show is around the concept that we've all got handcuffs in some way, shape or form that we let shackle us. Yeah, the the break of golden handcuffs. The logic is that or the the traditional definition of a set of golden handcuffs is that you're going to have a job. You can't quit because if you quit, you lose money.   00:17:54:02 - 00:18:16:08 David McIlwaine I had golden handcuffs where I was making so much money, I couldn't replace the money anywhere else. It wasn't that I had to wait to get paid a bonus. It was that I just couldn't walk away from what I did. I didn't love it, but it was awesome income, right? Or I've got a pilot who loves to fly, but that's all he does is fly.   00:18:16:08 - 00:18:40:06 David McIlwaine So he doesn't want to do just being a pilot for 40 years. There's more to life. So one of my pilot friends started a cattle ranch on the side. I got another pilot friend who's a syndicator. You know, he got there's different things to do if let's say that you're a police officer and you love being a police officer, but you don't want to make that the only way you create a source of income, right?   00:18:41:03 - 00:19:10:08 David McIlwaine So part of that is to recognize that breaking your golden handcuffs is really not just quitting a W2 job. In fact, it's far from that. It is recognizing how you can take your situation and tournament those handcuffs and in turn turn them into powerful tools. Maybe they become bracelets, maybe they become assets. So in my story, I made a plan of what was going to happen once I left corporate America.   00:19:10:23 - 00:19:36:05 David McIlwaine Now I left involuntarily. So my plan was to completely executed. But had I not made that plan, I would have been in a whole different position. Hmm. I never missed a meal. My kids never missed a meal. I went through a really expensive, nasty divorce. No child support payment was ever missed. You know, my kids went to college on the college plans that I created during those handcuff days.   00:19:37:06 - 00:19:55:15 David McIlwaine So I might not have had the perfect freedom at that moment. But now I have the agency over my day, my time, my decision making, my career, who and where I work. And the idea that about mindset is that we have choice. Yeah. And people don't realize that.   00:19:55:22 - 00:20:05:03 Sam Wilson They don't realize that. And there's this idea that there's entrepreneurial people and then there's not entrepreneurial people. It sounds like you would dispel that myth.   00:20:07:01 - 00:20:37:17 David McIlwaine The interesting question, I haven't thought of it like that. What I would say is that I was highly entrepreneurial and a publicly traded company and I was successful because I'm an entrepreneur, thought I would challenge that and say instead it's those who think and take action and those who process and take no action. Yeah, you can be an entrepreneur inside of Disney, in fact.   00:20:38:04 - 00:20:45:00 David McIlwaine So there are some of the best jobs Disney has, right? When you're an Imagineer, you're an entrepreneur. Right?   00:20:47:08 - 00:20:57:14 David McIlwaine And you can be an entrepreneur inside of a law firm and start a different practice. Or yet an entrepreneur doesn't have to just be their own company owner.   00:20:59:05 - 00:21:29:06 Sam Wilson And I like that. I like that because you talk about breaking the mold, breaking the golden handcuffs. It's this idea that there is capacity in each of us, no matter what we're doing, to set things up the way the art of the design, the life that we want, and we're not necessarily just tied to doing this. I think it takes some training and probably maybe you'd agree or disagree with that, but I think it takes some training to get people outside of that mindset that this is the way I make an income or this is the way I provide for my family.   00:21:29:06 - 00:21:38:10 Sam Wilson It's like, okay, that's a way of right and kind of opening up those windows for them to go, okay, there's there's some other opportunity out here maybe that you hadn't considered.   00:21:39:15 - 00:22:01:12 David McIlwaine Yeah, my headset on my battery, my batteries on the headset just died. So I got to go. Sorry about that. But the whole thing here is that we do have that agent see of our decision making. I was at dinner last night with my with my kids. They're 20 and 19 college junior college sophomore. And we're talking about decision making.   00:22:03:03 - 00:22:31:08 David McIlwaine And I asked them how they go about their decision process and what do they think we were talking about values and decision making and we talked about what values are different that they have than I have. And one of them was work ethic. Hmm. Okay, let's explore this. The work ethic wasn't ethic, it was ours. Hmm. What they learned was that their mom did a 9 to 5 work from home post-divorce pre divorce.   00:22:31:08 - 00:22:55:22 David McIlwaine I did a 7 to 7 live on the road post-divorce.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Attorney Tim McIIwain to the podcast. He discussed the Family Court in general as a lawyer looking in and a father looking out and having to deal with two different states in order to see his child while battling false accusations.   We discussed that in America, everyone believes in DUE PROCESS and have it ingrained in their mind that they will one day have DUE PROCESS and that children are RESILIENT. However, there is not DUE PROCESS because judges are not following the law. There is not DUE PROCESS. However, this is FAMILY COURT.     Going into oral argument, the lawyer Tim has been going up against, has been calling him names and filing motions , does not show up, but sends an underling who doesn't know about the case and pretends there is a conflict so they don't have to be accountable for the things they do such as mail fraud and lying to the police. Send the underling to put an appearance in and the judge hasn't read the motion and will just put out a decision.       Judges are not reading motions and then putting out a decisions. They aren't even looking at evidence. "You must have done something wrong....." Tim talked about what has historically happened to men but is now hearing more horror stories of women, dedicated wives and mothers, having their children taken away. There are two ways to traffic children. There are no hearings in Attorney Tim's case. They way to traffic is to accuse men of SA and accuse women of  being mentally ill.  There is no accountability to the accuser. It's a RIGGED game.     The Judge has Attorney Tim's motion and will hold it for a period of time and for how long we don't know. Probably until his child is eighteen.To Reach Attorney Tim McIIlwain: attorneymcilwain@me.comThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

Interviewer: RAFAEL KHACHATURIAN. As with all aspects of American life, Black people were part of the digital revolution from the beginning. CHARLTON MCILWAIN's work explores multiple strands of this history, in which African Americans appear as both creative subjects and objects of social control. In his discussion with political theorist Rafael Khachaturian, he tells of early pioneers who developed software and created networked digital communities before the Internet became widespread. In a second strand, however, he reveals that computational science focused on crime in minority communities as one of its central problems in the late 1960s and 1970s, providing the groundwork not only for the NYPD's COMPStat system, but much of the AI-assisted surveillance technology that has become so widespread today. These strands came together in the Black Lives Matter movement: a distinctively Black use of social media to counter police violence. McIlwain is the author of  Black Software: The Internet & Racial Justice, from the AfroNet to Black Lives Matter.

In a recent Training Unleashed podcast, DeMario and Dawn spoke with host Evan Hackel about the future of A.I. in training. “A.I. is being currently used most extensively now in the medical space,” Dawn told Evan, “where it is being used mostly to train future doctors.” Yet both DeMario and Dawn foresee many more applications for A.I. in training. At the moment, many of their efforts focus on creating digital humans that trainees can interact with in training courses. Skilldora is already using these digital humans, which are dramatically more realistic than the “talking heads” in other training courses. But still more big changes are about to happen. DeMario and Dawn told Evan that in the future, their digital humans will become much more than merely realistic. They will become increasingly interactive, going beyond the simple ability to deliver information or demonstrate skills. This will make training programs increasingly interactive and engaging. “And by the way,” Dawn adds, “this trend will not put training professionals out of work. If anything, it will create many more opportunities for programmers.” Another trend to watch for is the application of A.I. to create and adapt culturally sensitive training programs for companies in other countries, where trainees speak languages other than English.

Matt McIlwain, one of the northwest's top venture capitalists, discusses traits of great entrepreneurs and startups, triangulating feedback as part of the learning loop, being there at day one and for the long run, tough decisions along the startup journey, his personal journey of investment, consulting, and operating experience before becoming a venture capitalist, and the importance of curiosity, humility, and listening. Listen to the end to gain insight into practicing essentialism, as well as his advice to make decisions based on the topics and people that you resonate with. Top Three Takeaways: #1 Matt advises young people to make decisions for early jobs based on the topics and people they resonate with rather than the prestige or salary of the position. You have to know yourself and the things you love to get out in the world and find people you can learn from. He did this early in his career, choosing a role where he could learn more about the relationship between the private and public sector over a prestigious job involving real estate. Relating back to what David Zapolsky said, being in these types of roles allows you to do your best work, which leads to people thinking of you for promotions or exciting opportunities. #2 Matt mentioned curiosity, humility, and listening in multiple contexts. He and his team at GPC approached the idea of a joint venture with curiosity, which ultimately lead them to not pursue the idea. Great founders have curiosity and the humility and active listening that it embodies, to listen to customers, carry strong hypothesizes that are loosely held, and triangulate advice. The notion of a founder-market fit also stems from curiosity around a particular market and problem. #3 Investible ideas, at the very basic level, identify a problem that isn't being solved as well as it can be. A company has to have a team that's passionate about solving that problem and understanding the market changes that could help them solve it at scale, helping give a startup the potential to be meaningful and large.

“Teach the whole person.” In music performance, we need to take care of our bodies in order to ensure sustainability in our careers. This episode, we talk all things wellness, intention, and body mapping with Associate Professor of Clarinet at the University of Southern Mississippi and President-elect of the Association of Body Mapping Educators, Dr. Jackie McIlwain. For those unfamiliar with body mapping, here's a little overview! Body mapping is a technique that was made directly for musicians, making sure that we have a very clear understanding of how the body is designed to move. If we have this understanding of the body map, then we can use it to move more effortlessly, with more fluidity, more ease, and less tension. Jackie discovered body mapping in her undergraduate career, where she began to experience pain that greatly interfered with her performance. She was then introduced to Alexander Technique and body mapping, and became so passionate about these areas of study that she began to focus on pedagogy and wellness in her academic career. Now, she's co-writing two books with friend Shawn Copland: Body Mapping for Clarinetists all about healthy ways to approach the instrument, and the Breathing Book for Clarinetists, a step by step practice companion.

For Dr. Ben McIlwain, being a professor is about much more than just teaching trombone.

You enjoy it, and you take one day at a time.”
