Dr Meredith Jones Timestamps (00:15) Combo of dating violence types (02:20) Severity of dating violence (06:00) Most common dating violence (08:25) Power-based violence (09:13) Effects of negative childhood events (13:27) Females with more power (14:40) Pepetraotr tactics The discussion of dating violence continues in part two of this series with clinical psychologist, Dr. Meredith Jones. Dr. Bola Sogade begins this episode with an example of a scenario with multiple dating violence types, psychological and physical. Psychological violence is most common in adolescents. This form of dating violence may involve a partner checking the partner's phone, telling the partner what to wear, threatening to hurt themselves, or anything that is controlling. It is the most common form of dating violence for adolescents for multiple reasons for this. For many adolescents, it is their first-time experiencing these strong emotions. Also, the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until age 25. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization identify dating violence as a serious public health concern. In a Strive Study of 12 through 18-year-olds, 69% reported some form of dating violence. If you have not experienced dating violence, someone you know probably has. It is important to note that both genders may be perpetrators or victims of any form of dating violence. Dr. Jones and Dr. Sogade also discuss power-based violence. Gender and power dynamics in relationships can intensify hostility and coercion. There are unique risks associated with power bases violence. For example, adolescent girls who have experienced sexual coercion are more likely to engage in health-risk behaviors. Dr. Jones explains situations where an individual becomes dependent on their partner which causes a higher chance of power-based violence. Growing up in poverty, not having a relationship with parents, and other events can cause an individual to be more dependent on their partner if they are providing emotional or financial support. Certain groups of people are also more at risk of benign a victim of dating violence. Being a young mom, identifying as LGBT, having a disability, and having certain races and ethnicities increase the risk of dating violence. It is important for healthcare providers to think of each adolescent in context and understand their risks based on their identity. Dr. Sogade and Dr. Jones finish this episode by discussing the tactics of perpetrators and giving listeners advice on understanding these tactics. First. Dr. Jones explains that it is important to understand what a healthy relationship looks like for you. After this, she gives examples of red flags of perpetrators, such as not respecting your boundaries or reproductive freedom. #datingviolence #adolescentrelationships #powerviolence #psychology #healthriskbehaviors #redflags #healthydating #healthyrelationship

Welcome to another episode of Between Two Salads! Natalie Franklin is a California-based writer; specifically, she authors Nori's Black Book, which has been operating on Instagram since 2013 and may actually be one of the most iconic fan accounts ever made. The account's appeal is its voice-driven - sometimes speculative, sometimes satirical- rendering of the Kardashian world, as seen through the eyes of Kim and Kanye's firstborn, North West. Nori's Black Book was also famously anonymous through most of the years of its production, contributing an air of mystery to the content: WHO is behind this bold and hilarious account? The ‘KUWTK' Reveal of the Woman Behind the Words, aired on May 13, 2021, thrilling KUWTK fans and NBB fans alike, and collapsing countless paradigms that had once existed between The Television Show and Its Audience. In keeping with the plain-as-day postmodernity of Natalie's relationship with The Kardashians, Marie and I sought to play with perspective for this episode of Between Two Salads, too. For some of the episode, you'll see me and Natalie discussing all of the aforementioned themes, live, as the final speakers of Dr. Meredith Jones' Kimposium event (September 16, 2021). Then we continue the conversation, covering topics like cancel culture, philosophies of comedy, and Natalie's vast expertise of all things reality TV.

How much is "enough" and how much is an "abundance?" This varies by category and circumstance. We often think of money when we talk about abundance. How much money would you need to have to feel abundant? What about other categories? How many supportive relationships would feel like an abundance? How much time to dedicate to your own interests and needs? What amount of sleep would be abundant for you? Meredith Jones, DVM, joined me to talk about abundance in its many forms. Tell me, what's something that is either free or very inexpensive that makes you feel abundant?

On today’s show I’m joined by not one, but two awesome guests as we take on the towering elephant in the room of veterinary medicine - MONEY! More specifically, DEBT! To dissect this huge issue we have a two for one deal where I’m joined by vets and financial experts Dr. Meredith Jones and Dr. Phil Zeltzman. Meredith is an ER doctor from Virginia, host of the Debt Free Vets Facebook group, and was able to pay off her entire student debt in less than five years post-graduation. She now uses the knowledge she acquired in the process, plus the huge amount of financial training she has undertaken since to help other vets follow the same path. Phil is a multi-time business owner, investor and board certified traveling surgeon, supporting clinics in his home state offer advanced surgical care without the need for referral. He is also a published author with two books available on Amazon and happens to be one of the best storytellers in the business. Now, rather wonderfully both of these amazing people have teamed up and are on a mission to teach vets how to escape from the burden of the amassed student debt they carry and have created the Veterinary Financial Summit which will hold its inaugural event in September 2020. Check is out at https://vetfinancialsummit.com/ --------------- Today's episode is sponsored by the VetX:Thrive community. If you are working in practice and clients or colleagues are making you miserable then I have mixed news. The bad news is you are probably the source of your problems. The good news is that you are also 100% in control of changing things and having a great career. You are missing some skills and they are NOT clinical. Enter VetX:Thrive - a RACE accredited, non-clinical skills course/community where members receive training, toolkits, and mentoring support to support the development of these skills. Paul, one of the community members says joining was the best decision of his life and went from being miserable to be energized and happy in his work. Membership is available for a small monthly fee where you can join hundreds of other vets who have changed their careers for the better. To learn more and find out if the class is a good fit for you visit www.vetxinternational.com/thrive today. ----------------- Debt is one of the biggest causes of stress and it’s hard to imagine how the added pressure this has placed onto the shoulders of the next generation of vets is helping anyone to cope. Which is why I was so happy to make this interview happen. Phil and Meredith both have great career stories yet different perspectives to share on the issue. If money is on your mind, you are going to get huge value from this episode. So, I invite you to put your feet up and invest some time and enjoy this my oceanically-distanced conversation with the exceptional Drs Meredith Jones and Phil Zeltzman.

You don't have to figure it out by yourself.Dr. Meredith Jones is an emergency veterinarian and financial coach in the Richmond, Virginia area. Dr. Jones is also a co-founder of Veterinary Financial Summit, a financial conference and online community for veterinary professionals. She found that there was a lot of talk about the financial issues within the veterinary community, but there wasn't a lot of vet-to-vet communication about these problems. She created the Debt-Free Vets Facebook group in 2016 with the intent to connect veterinarians and veterinary students to share information and share their success stories. Dr. Jones wants to help other veterinarians have a greater understanding of their personal and professional finances and be able to achieve their financial goals.Thank you for listening!Please like and subscribe here and on your podcast app of choice.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Since I’ve become debt-free, I feel like decisions I make in my career aren’t just based on money, I don’t feel stuck in my job and I have more freedom.” “Pursuing financial freedom is really worthwhile.” “Now that I’m debt-free it’s a choice, every day that I go to work, I’m choosing to go to work.” “You will feel an overall greater sense of happiness when your purpose is congruent with your daily activities and you have something to look forward to.” Episode Overview In this episode, I talk with Dr. Meredith Jones. She is a 2008 graduate of North Carolina State University and is an emergency veterinarian in the Richmond, Virginia area. In 2016, she completed training to become a financial coach and founded the Debt-Free Vets Facebook group. She is a co-founder of the Veterinary Financial Summit, a financial conference and online community for veterinary professionals. She is passionate about empowering veterinarians with knowledge and understanding to achieve their financial goals.  TOPICS Your unique career path, why did you decide as a veterinarian to pursue training to become a financial coach and host a summit? The Veterinary Financial Summit. (The who, what, why, when, and how to attend.) 5 Questions Segment Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I make my bed every morning, one cup of coffee, and try to start each day helping someone else. Then I look at my planner and determine the three things that I want to accomplish today and get started. Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me success is doing work that is meaningful and having relationships that are meaningful. When a colleague says they’ve learned something from me, that’s a huge complement and a measure of success. We also need our own internal measure of success because we don’t always hear about our impact on other people. Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? I find that I’m the happiest when I have a sense of purpose and when I have something exciting to look forward to. Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I didn’t know that there would be more to my career than seeing patients and clients and maybe owning a practice someday. Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Our biggest challenge is just getting it all done, setting priorities, and also taking care of ourselves in the process.

The next episode of the MNBP features Meredith Jones, a former public defender and small firm owner, who followed her enthusiasm and continues to by helping lawyers manage their stress through yoga-based-mindfulness. Currently based in Minneapolis, MN with a move to her homestate of Florida planned this summer, Meredith owns and operates a beautiful “law adjacent endeavor” called Do Justly Now. This allows her to work primarily with lawyers (and others interested!) where she teachers them “to decrease stress and increase job satisfaction” through yoga-based-mindfulness. Practicing law is very stressful and in years past there were not as many resources, discussions, and individuals like Meredith working with lawyers to help them manage their stress, positively and in a productive manner, so it is refreshing to hear and learn more about the work Meredith is doing.We learn how she fell into yoga during law school and how she has forged this path for herself taking into account her past experience as a practitioner and her passion for yoga. Our conversation even touches on a few pointers Meredith shares for students who are studying for the Florida Bar Exam so be sure to listen until the end when we learn these. If you are in the legal profession, keep Do Justly Now and Meredith’s work on your radar and be on the look out for her upcoming creation titled: “Meditate, Eliminate, and Regulate: three steps to decreasing stress in your law practice.” Also, if you are interested in working with Meredith to cultivate and have your very own home yoga practice protocol designed for you, get in touch with her.

Top 100 US ESG companies for 2019 by CR Magazine. Profitably invest in harmony with your spiritual or religious ideals. Solar power breakthrough—but investing in solar has its perils. A valuable investing tip that really works. Confused who’s best, Uber or Lyft? An analyst compares them. Vanguard launches actively managed ESD ETF. And more. PODCAST: Top US ESG Companies, Solar Power Breakthrough, Investing Tip Transcript & Links May 26, 2019 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast Ethical & Sustainable Investing News to Profit By! for May 26, 2019. Presented by Investing for the Soul. investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investment resources. Now to this podcast. And for any terms that are unfamiliar to you, simply Google them! Also, you can find a full transcript, live links and often bonus material at my podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts ------------------------------------------------------------- The first item to discuss is CR Magazine's 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2019! CR Magazine reviewed 1,000 US companies for their ESG practices. Robbie Lock, a writer for 3BL Association, commenting on the research results wrote that “Owens Corning tops the ranking, followed by Intel, General Mills, Campbell Soup and HP Inc… Twenty-seven companies are new to the ranking in 2019 including Allstate, Delta Airlines and Mondelez International. Biggest gainers include Ball Corp., CBRE, Ford and Xylem, Inc.” Mr. Lock provides further clarification as to how CR Magazine obtains the rankings. Quoting him again, he says, ”The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking uses 134 total corporate disclosure and performance factors in seven categories: climate change, employee relations, environment, finance, governance, human rights, and stakeholders and society.” Also, that the, “There is no fee for companies to be assessed. To compile this ranking, information is obtained from publicly available resources only, rather than questionnaires or company submissions. Companies have the option to verify data collected for the ranking at no cost.” Close quote. I like the idea that companies don’t pay to be included in the research and the data compiled is from publicly available sources. ------------------------------------------------------------- The 100 Best Corporate Citizens demonstrate various degrees of above average corporate ethics, and ethics is a central theme for those wanting to apply their spiritual or religious beliefs to investing. If you’re interested in applying spiritual or religious values to investing, Meredith Jones just published in MarketWatch a post that could be of interest to you. It’s titled, “Opinion: When your faith guides your investing decisions, can you still beat the stock market?” And she says the answer can be yes. Ms. Jones reviews the leading ETFs and mutual funds for investors interested in Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian-Bible related ethics and principles. For Catholics, she likes the Global X S&P 500 Catholic Values ETF, LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund, and the Ave Maria group of funds. For those of Jewish persuasion, she says there’s only one for now and that’s the AMIDEX35 Israel Mutual Fund which invests in Israeli companies. For Muslims, there’s the Imam Fund IMANX the Amana group of funds and ETFs listed on the London Stock Exchange including iShares MSCI World Islamic ETF ISWD and the iShares MSCI USA Islamic ETF ISUS. And under the umbrella of Christian-Bible offerings, Ms. Jones reviews the Timothy Plan and Guidestone family of funds. For links to these funds go to my podcast page for this edition at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. ------------------------------------------------------------- In my last podcast, I introduced the research of Tim Nash at Corporate Knights. Well, he’s produced another research report that compares the pros and cons of investing in Uber or Lyft. You can read his full post under the title of Tim Nash’s sustainable stock showdown: Uber vs. Lyft. Personally, I’m not keen on either company because I believe competition—not just between them but also other entrants including potentially motor vehicle manufacturers themselves—will force them to keep user prices low which will continue to severely restrict profits. Also, their environmental benefits are overplayed as I mentioned in my podcast of April 12. Anyhow, this is what Mr. Nash says in conclusion, “I’d put Lyft ahead by a headlight in this week’s Sustainability Stock Showdown, but anyone that’s interested in investing in either stock should be ready to fasten their seat belts and brace for a bumpy ride.” ------------------------------------------------------------- One big area that I know might interest you is renewable energy. I have several items of news and information that I want to share with you concerning investing in this area. The first thing you should know is that developments in new products are almost overwhelming. This industry has numerous innovative players and it’s very difficult to know who will eventually be a leader. Sure, you can buy renewable energy ETFs—and a good read on what to buy is an article that appeared recently on Nasdaq, titled, 5 Clean Energy ETFs to Buy for 2019. But if you’re interested in individual companies, here’s what I’ve seen in the past two weeks. The New York Times ran an excellent piece reviewing a Danish company called Orsted. They produce massive offshore wind turbines whose energy costs are rapidly declining while already being highly competitive with new natural-gas fired plants. In solar power, there’s been a tremendous breakthrough in producing new solar panels that appear to be 20-25% more efficient than the best existing panels. A paper outlining the breakthrough appeared in ScienceDaily under the title, Breakthrough in new material to harness solar power. Who will manufacture, market and install such panels wasn’t mentioned. Incidentally, these panels do have a downside—they contain some lead. I’m sure testing in rainy and humid environments will be needed and manufacturing processes and end-of-life disposal policies will be needed too, considering that most countries will want assurance about the safe removal of lead. I did a detailed study on solar panel manufacturers a few years ago and discovered that the manufacturing processes themselves can be highly toxic. Furthermore, most countries had no end-of-life policies in place to deal with the safe disposal of the toxic components of solar panels—and that is deeply concerning! It’s possible that the companies engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and installation of solar panels could at some point be hit with levies or fines in dealing with these issues. At the time of my research, I was most impressed with SunPower and its environmental efforts. So, one thing you might want to find out before investing in solar panel manufacturers is how they perform environmentally. A great resource for this is the Solar Power Scorecard produced by the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. However, their last scorecard is a little dated and I’m hoping to see their new one soon. Incidentally, Fox Business just reported on the huge growth of solar panel installation in the US in a post, titled, 2 Million U.S. Solar Installations Are Just the Start. By the way, a tip for checking how investment analysts rate solar companies—or any companies for that matter—is simply to type into Google Search the name of the company followed by Reuters—the name of the media company—after it. Click search and then click the search item that says the company name and the text Reuters quote. Reuters will then bring-up a research report. Click on analysts in the links bar and you can see how analysts rate the stock of the company you’re researching. By getting the information on how analysts rate the companies you’re interested in can be terrifically helpful in deciding which companies to invest in. It saves you a lot of time and effort. And this is exactly the kind of tip and help you get in my DIY Ethical-Sustainable Investing Pays Tutorial! This tutorial will be the most worthwhile 1-hour you’ll ever spend getting help with your investments! ------------------------------------------------------------- Some other exciting new developments that might interest you are the following. Vanguard, one of the world’s largest fund companies, has launched its first actively managed ESG ETF, called the Global ESG Select Stock Fund (ticker VEIGX). It will officially begin trading on June 4. This is big as ETFs are mostly ‘passively’ managed, that is they pick a group of stocks typically based on an index, whereas active management means selling and buying different stocks as the managers see fit. In recent years passive investing has usually outperformed active investing. However, who knows what the future will bring. Also, S&P Dow Jones, who have had ESG indices for many years is launching something new. They are launching ESG global indexes based on core regional and country benchmarks. What is especially interesting is that these indexes, and quoting their press release, provide “a return profile that's consistent with mainstream benchmarks that have been widely followed for years.” As an aside, what you can do, where possible, is to review the indexes that interest you and see what companies are included in them. You can often get useful ideas for new companies to look at! ------------------------------------------------------------- So, these are my top news stories and tips for ethical and sustainable investors over the past two weeks.

Welcome to my podcast Ethical & Sustainable Investing News to Profit By! for May 10, 2019. Presented by Investing for the Soul. investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investment resources. Now to this podcast. Again, for any terms that are unfamiliar to you, simply Google them! Also, you can find a full transcript, live links and sometimes bonus material at my podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts ------------------------------------------------------------- Many of you listening are interested in ESG or SRI bond and fixed income investments. And with good reason. A recent article titled, Largest 10 Socially Responsible Fixed Income ETFs, by Todd Shriber of ETF Trends, reviews two leading funds in this space. They are the iShares Global Green Bond ETF (on Nasdaq GM: ticker BGRN) and VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF (on the NYSEArca: ticker GRNB). These bond funds have great pedigrees. However, the article’s title might suggest the review is of ten SRI fixed income ETFs and that’s a little misleading. Concerning the ten listed—but not reviewed—I wouldn’t put them in the same category as the two funds examined in the article. The SRI credentials of the ten listed are mainly that they invest in government securities and blue-chip company bonds. Of course, governments fund all sorts of things that ethical and sustainable investors might argue aren’t socially responsible. And even though blue-chip companies such as Apple are frequently top SRI holdings, their bonds aren’t usually going directly to fund green projects. Whereas, the iShares Global Green Bond ETF and VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF specifically fund projects and activities related to environmental and social concerns. ------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I can’t resist the temptation to not talk about the great Beyond Meat initial public offering! It came out at $25 on May 2 and has traded over $80 since then. For a good review of what the company is and what it faces regarding competition etc., see this MarketWatch post, Beyond Meat goes public with a bang: 5 things to know about the plant-based meat maker, by Ciara Linnane. Quoting Ciara, she says, "The maker of the Beyond Burger, which is sold at Whole Foods and restaurant chain TGIF, among others, priced its initial public offering at $25 a share… raising at least $240 million at a valuation slightly shy of $1.5 billion." Close quote. Now at $80 a share Beyond Meat has a staggering market valuation of about $5 billion! I'm delighted to see this offering, as one of the most important things we can do to slow down carbon emissions and climate change, is to reduce our consumption of meat. However, some climate researchers are skeptical about the net benefit of highly processed vegetarian and vegan offerings on the climate. That this IPO went so well is a testament to the fact that even many conservative financial types are recognizing there’s money to be made in climate change. However, I suspect that most of the interest probably comes from younger investors. Furthermore, this could indicate the beginning of a thrilling era for new investment offerings that ethical and sustainable investors can get excited about! Obviously, the underwriters significantly underestimated demand for Beyond Meat’s shares. When IPOs triple in price right after being launched it means that the issuer—the company—could have gotten far more for their shares. Though Beyond Meat is probably happy, they’re probably unhappy that they could’ve raised double or triple of what they got! So, Beyond Meat is an exciting short-term play but with so many competitors to its products over the medium to long-term, it's not obvious it will be a winner yet. ------------------------------------------------------------- For a good review of what Beyond Meat’s success means for two burger chains offering vegan burgers, see this post, titled, Tim Nash's sustainable stock showdown: battle of the burger chains, Corporate Knights, Canada. Admittedly this review is of the Canadian market, but it has bearing on the US and other markets too. Of course, Americans or anyone can invest in the Canadian stocks of the burger chains mentioned in that post. After a great review, Mr. Nash finalizes his recommendation as follows, and I quote, “A&W Food Services of Canada (which has no corporate connections to A&W’s American locations) is obviously a much smaller company than Restaurant Brands, but... with a higher dividend and a lower beta, A&W provides a nice mix of income and growth potential. The chain is the clear winner.” Close quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- Now, for ethical and sustainable investors interested in the animal-friendliness of their investments, read this article by Meredith Jones of MarketWatch, titled, Opinion: Here’s how to check the animal-friendliness of your investments. Quoting her, she says, “It’s easy to check which individual stocks are ‘cruelty-free,’ but you can’t yet invest in a vegan investment index." She offers several ways to checking which investments are free of animal-related products and testing. If you’re interested in finding more organizations that can help you in this endeavor, check-out my Investing for the Soul sites’ pages Environmental Organizations & Resources and Organizations Promoting Corporate Ethical, Social & Environmental Responsibility. ------------------------------------------------------------- Turning to a completely different aspect of investing, let’s talk about separately managed accounts at financial institutions compared to owning a portfolio of ETFs. Now separately managed accounts aren’t for everyone as they usually require a sizeable investment. However, if you meet the threshold they could be better for US investors than ETFs, says Johny Mair at ThinkAdvisor. Mr. Mair says in an article titled, ETF vs. SMA: Which Is Better for Sustainable Investing? That, and I quote, “SMAs are ideal for values-based investing as they allow investors to actively screen for certain product areas (e.g. oil, tobacco), or ‘bad actors’ that they deem antithetical to their values. They also allow for more specificity, e.g. designating a certain percentage of revenue from carbon emissions to be included in one’s portfolio. Furthermore, because SMA investors directly own the underlying securities, they can opt to play an active shareholder role, working to impact corporate behavior through voting proxies or shareholder resolutions." End quote. Of course, for those who might not have the means for an SMA—or even for those who do—check out my DIY Ethical-Sustainable Investing Pays Tutorial. There, in 1-hour you can get a handle on how to easily and very cheaply put together your own personal values-based profitable portfolio—nonmatter its size. ------------------------------------------------------------- In looking for companies we all want to know about their ESG ratings. However, you might not be aware of which ESG rating firms are good. Well, a new report reviews the various ESG rating services. Go to this recent post in IR Magazine, headlined, ESG Ratings – A look at the ESG ratings landscape. Register at the bottom of the page to download the PDF report. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical and sustainable investors are concerned with many issues, but one that they might not have thought of and which is still a global problem is modern slavery. Fiona Reynolds, head of the UN’s Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI), says that ‘“There are a lot of ESG conversations around climate change ... but it is interlinked with modern slavery,’ Reynolds told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in an interview. ‘We see many climate migrants and refugees who end up vulnerable and at risk of being trafficked,’ she added.” Close quote. Another quote from the article states, that, “The U.N. estimates that some 40 million people are trapped in modern slavery, from factory jobs to forced marriages.” End quote. Perhaps it’s something you might ask the companies you like who might have the potential for such involvement. The Reuters post is by Kieran Guilbert and titled, 'Look for the laggards' - investors told to target modern slavery. ------------------------------------------------------------- Lastly, another good comparative analysis by Tim Nash at Corporate Knights for ethical and sustainable investors has the title, Tim Nash’s sustainable stock showdown: Johnson & Johnson vs. Unilever. He says, and I quote,” With thousands of J&J cancer lawsuits pending, you might want to freshen up your portfolio with a cleaner company… J&J and Unilever are companies with very similar financial profiles, but, in my view, Unilever’s brand is thriving while Johnson and Johnson’s is deteriorating.” For decades, J&J has a been a favorite investment for ethical investors—but not so much anymore as Mr. Nash’s post makes clear. Yet, most ESG funds still have it in their holdings. Check your holdings and see. Perhaps you still like J&J for other reasons. However, at the very least, these lawsuits and the negative publicity surrounding them is proving costly to the firm’s bottom line and stock price. ------------------------------------------------------------- So, these are my top news stories for ethical and sustainable investors over the past two weeks.

Ready to learn how to meaningfully and practically integrate technology into your classroom?! If so, you’re in the right place! This episode will explore the dynamic learning framework, and is part three of a five-part series on meaningful technology integration. (If you haven’t already heard parts 1 and 2, I suggest you go check them out first!) I’ve created the Dynamic Learning Framework to help with meaningful technology integration. This framework is actually at the heart of my book Shake Up Learning: Practical Ideas to Move Learning from Static to Dynamic. Today, I’m going to give you this framework for free, so you don’t even need to buy the book! Listen to the episode to learn about it, and stay tuned until the end of the episode to get your download bundle. Let’s dig into a question: does your classroom offer one-and-done learning activities, or does the learning grow, inspire, and evolve throughout the year and beyond? In today’s episode, I want to focus on that word “beyond.” In fact, my framework has five “beyonds: beyond the bell, beyond the grade level & subject, beyond the walls, beyond the tools, and beyond the due date. I’ll start off by exploring the idea of going beyond the bell. This means that learning doesn’t need to end when the bell rings, because many of them have digital tools and devices available any time, anywhere. Next, I’ll dig into going beyond the grade level and subject area, and taking students off the conveyor belt to give them a choice-driven education inspired by the things they’re passionate about. The third of the five “beyonds” is going beyond the walls. I’ll talk about both the world into your classroom, as well as bringing your classroom to the world. The fourth “beyond” is going beyond the tools, and this is one of my favorites! Going beyond the tools is so important in meaningful technology integration. Finally, I’ll talk about going beyond the due date. This one may be a struggle, but remember that we’re exploring dynamic learning experiences! Tune into the episode to learn about how going beyond the due date can be such a fantastic strategy for encouraging learning in many cases.   In This Episode: [00:28] - Kasey welcomes listeners to this episode, which will be about the dynamic learning framework for integrating technology into your classroom. [02:00] - We hear a shout-out to the TCEA Shake Up Learning Volunteers who helped Kasey survive the conference: Lyndi Christensen Valicek, Ashley Pursley, Meredith Jones, Sarah Fromhold, and Stephanie Martinez! [03:02] - Let’s talk about meaningful technology integration, and what it looks like! [03:57] - Does your classroom offer one-and-done learning activities, or does the learning grow, inspire, and evolve throughout the year and beyond? [05:12] - Kasey explains that there are five “beyonds” in her dynamic learning framework, and shares her philosophy in creating this framework. [10:24] - We hear a recap of the concepts of dynamic and static learning, which Kasey has explored in a previous episode. [12:07] - Kasey breaks down the dynamic learning framework, briefly explaining how to understand the graphic included with these notes. [12:54] - Kasey kicks things off by exploring the first of the “beyonds”: beyond the bell. [15:06] - We hear some strategies for going beyond the bell. [16:50] - Another activity that fits in with this segment is creating a vision board with Google Slides, Kasey explains. [19:24] - The next “beyond” is beyond the grade level and subject area. [20:32] - Kasey talks about some easy ways to take students off the conveyor belt and give them opportunities to go beyond the grade level and subject area. [23:11] - We learn about design thinking, a creative problem-solving protocol to create innovative solutions. [24:24] - Kasey moves on to talking about going beyond the walls. [27:54] - The next “beyond” is going beyond the tools, Kasey explains. [29:52] - Kasey talks about some strategies for going beyond the tools. [31:50] - We come back to the idea of the worksheet, with Kasey explaining the problems with this format. [33:47] - The fifth and final of Kasey’s “beyonds” is one you may struggle with: going beyond the due date. [36:15] - Kasey explores some strategies for helping kids to continue their work and learning beyond the due date. [38:23] - Kasey reviews the “beyonds” that she has covered in today’s episode.

Hold onto your seats boys - research shows female investors outperform men. In this episode of Talking Trading we speak to Meredith Jones, author of Women of the Street. She provides fresh data, stories and statistics from Wall Street on why women have a money management edge. From less ‘overconfidence’, over-trading and testosterone to a greater tolerance for market noise, Meredith shows that if someone is wearing Louboutins and not loafers in the markets then they may be the better investor.   Meredith Jones Meredith Jones spent 17 years on Wall Street and interviewed 11 top performing female money managers for her book 'Women of The Street'. Chris Tate is a fan of Meredith and her evidence that women are better investors than men and that we would all be wealthier if we invested ‘like a girl’. Women’s outperformance of men can be drawn to specific characteristics: Less OVER confidence, which means women tend not to over trade. Greater conviction in their investments, which means women tend not sell into bad markets and helps them navigate volatile markets. Frequent reevaluation of their portfolio, which means women tend to recognize more effectively if they are the only person doing something in the market and they are either early or they are a lunatic. Out of the box thinking. Women often look for stocks that may not be as sexy or flashy but have good growth. Ability to match to expectation with actual results. There is a theory that says if there were more money managers in the markets then there would not be as much volatility and we would not have as many bubbles and busts. Meredith also walks us through the evolutionary reasons why men and women developed their different financial skill sets and why she advocates both male and female investment managers to ensure true diversification and maximize your money.

Kathryn interviews Washington & Jefferson College Distinguished Research Fellow Jonathan Gottschall on his latest book “The Professor in the Cage: Why Men Fight and Why We Like to Watch”. Throughout the last decade, cage fighting and mixed martial arts (MMA) have evolved to the fastest-growing spectator sport in America. The surging popularity is just one example of our insatiable interest not just in violence but in the rituals that keep violence contained. Gottschall argues that taming male violence through ritualized combat has been a hidden key to the success of the human race. Kathryn also interviews financial expert Meredith Jones, author of “Women of the Street: Why Female Money Managers Generate Higher Returns (And How You Can Too)”. Research reveals that women investors consistently outperform men. Jones argues that better trading behavior, ‘out of the box' thinking, and a more consistent execution of strategy are some of the keys to women's outperformance.
