In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack play a game of Kiss, Marry, Kill with three Disney princesses: Ariel, Snow White, and Cinderella.Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the 80s English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we are doing a topic talk game Edition Kiss, Marry, Kill.00:00:16JackAnd so social the rules of this game are that you have to, I'm going to give you 3 choices and you have to decide which person you would kiss, which person you would kill, and which person you would marry. And so.00:00:34JackI've got 3 Disney princesses, Cinderella.00:00:40JackSnow White.00:00:42JackAnd Ariel, Ariel is obviously the mermaid from what's the movie called.00:00:50XochitlThe Little Mermaid.00:00:52JackThe Little Mermaid. OK. Sorry. I had a a brain malfunction there for a moment. OK.00:01:00JackAll right.00:01:02JackSo.00:01:03JackKiss Mary, kill Cinderella, Snow White or Ariel.00:01:08XochitlUM, OK, this one's actually going to be really.00:01:10XochitlEasy.00:01:10XochitlFor me, Cinderella, I would kill automatically because she's the most boring of the three choices to me.00:01:11발표자OK.00:01:18JackOh.00:01:20XochitlIf they're talking about the original story.00:01:21XochitlI like I like.00:01:23XochitlPretty much every like reproduction or adaptation in other cultures, but the original like Disney one was boring to me, so I've killed her Snow White. I would kiss on.00:01:32JackOK.00:01:37XochitlI like.00:01:37JackWell, because you gotta wake her, you.00:01:39JackHave to wake her up, you know.00:01:40XochitlOh well, sure.00:01:41XochitlYou do have to wake up. I also.00:01:42XochitlLike your whole.00:01:44XochitlLike.00:01:45XochitlI don't know. I I I thought it was really fun to watch baked pies and stuff when I was a kid and I like the little like culture that she's in because she gets to, like, interact with the dwarves and stuff. So I think that would be fun. I really liked that movie as a child too. And and The Little Mermaid was one of my favorites.00:02:01발표자Yeah.00:02:06XochitlAs a child, and I would definitely marry Ariel, I think Ariel gets a bad rap for being like whiny, spoiled, blah, blah. I don't think any of that is true. I think she had a really bad relationship with her father.00:02:20XochitlAnd.00:02:21XochitlAnd it doesn't get better until the end of the movie, and I think that's where all her issues come from because her father sucked. I'm. I stand by that and I would marry her because she has the most fascinating. She's literally part of another world. And so it would be so cool to get to talk to her about those.00:02:31JackYeah.00:02:37발표자Yeah.00:02:41XochitlExperiences Thanksgiving or Christmas or whatever with their family would be so fun. And you know, ideally, you know, trading as a king and see maybe he can use his magical powers to make you guys like half.00:02:49JackYes.00:02:57XochitlMermaids have. Uh.00:03:01XochitlYeah, like in Luca, you have you seen that movie?00:03:04JackNo, no, I haven't seen Luca yet. I.00:03:07XochitlAnyway, you had to see that, but I think that that'd be really cool. And then it's just and she has the spirit of an adventurer, I think. And I think that that would be very compatible with me.00:03:09JackOK.00:03:20JackOK. Yeah. So I'm I'm close to your answers, but I'm off a little bit. I think I would.00:03:22발표자Yeah.00:03:30JackI would. I would. Uh kiss Cinderella.00:03:34JackI don't know. There's something about Cinderella. She's just very charming, you know? And I know that's a weird word to use because she marries Prince Charming. But.00:03:46XochitlCinderella.00:03:47JackYeah. I just, I really, I I really like Cinderella. I I think she, you know she's she has such a a a tough life.00:03:57JackBut she's she's got that kind of, like, plucky spirit. Like she she really. She never gives up. She, you know, I I just, I I don't know. I I I love Cinderella. I love the her relationship with the little mice that she's even.00:04:03발표자So.00:04:15XochitlThat is.00:04:18JackShe's even kind to the mice, you know? Uhm and UM. So I'm going to, I'm going to kiss Cinderella.00:04:26JackI'm gonna. I'm gonna.00:04:27JackKill Snow White because Snow White is I found her boring and she's sleeping for half the movie anyway so.00:04:36JackSo I don't know. Yeah, I just. I don't know. I never. I never was. Never like a big Snow White fan.00:04:38XochitlInteresting. Interesting.00:04:47XochitlI love and my sister would only gifted stuff and I always get gifted Cinderella stuff and made me annoyed because I wanted the Snow White stuff because that was one of my favorites.00:04:58JackI know mine. I'm I'm. I'm more basic. Like I'm. I'm kind of going like for the cause. Cinderella is obviously more famous than Snow White. I I would say probably like more in.00:05:09XochitlLike it's probably it's.00:05:10XochitlOne of the most plastic tails that's also adapted to a lot of different cultures, and I like those. Have you ever seen ever after?00:05:17JackYes, I like that movie with Drew Barrymore. Yeah.00:05:20XochitlThat would be very more. That is a really good representation of Cinderella, and I would have to change my answers if we were doing.00:05:26XochitlIt based on that.00:05:27XochitlBut anyway your last.00:05:27발표자Ohh frickin.00:05:29XochitlYour last one is who you would marry you.00:05:33JackI would marry Ariel because I always thought Ariel was the the most beautiful, the the best of the Disney princesses.00:05:45XochitlHey. So we have two aerial lovers in the house. This is America's. Most people really hate her.00:05:50JackI love them. I guess it's it's part of it is because I just. I love the movie and I love the music in the movie and I love the story.00:05:58XochitlDrive. They do a little.00:06:00JackAnd she's got, like, wanderlust, you know, and which is similar to, like, my. You know what? What I have like I I want an adventure. You know. I'm I'm always curious about what's you know behind that door like.00:06:14XochitlYou want to be where the people are.00:06:16JackYeah, yeah, I wanna. I wanna get away from the fish and I wanna hang out with the people, you know. But yeah. So I always. I always had like a a a crush on on Ariel. And I thought she was the the best Disney Princess.00:06:33JackAnd uh, she's also got uh, I'm using this word. Plucky again. I I don't know if there's a better word for this. Funky. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. She's got, like, a ***** to her. She's she's she's a, you know, she's a heroine. She's a, you know, she's a hero.00:06:39XochitlOh, it's.00:06:40XochitlFunky.00:06:47XochitlYeah.00:06:48XochitlSpicy. She's strong. I like her.00:06:51XochitlYeah.00:06:54XochitlEnthusiasm. And I like that she never fit in in the mermaid world or the people world. But she just blunders through with confident enthusiasm. She's doing her own thing. She doesn't care if everyone else thinks she's weird, you know?00:07:10JackYeah. Yeah. And that I live in a kind of middle space, A liminal space in between 2 cultures. To be honest, you know, in Korea, I'm still American. But in in America, I've lived half my life in Korea. So.00:07:24JackYou know, for me, I kind of live in, in that in between space and she is also trapped between two worlds. Maybe there's something about that that I find attractive in the story.00:07:34XochitlYeah, I could agree.00:07:36XochitlBecause I'm also from 2 cultures, I was born and raised in two cultures. So I I think it's interesting and I.00:07:42JackMaybe that's something. Maybe that's why we're attracted to that story and.00:07:46JackAlso, she doesn't.00:07:47JackNeed a man? Necessarily. The man needs her. **, *** she saves him. But in Cinderella and Snow White, it's like, ohh the man. You know, the wood. The woodsman has to save her or the. Sorry. The king. The Prince. Sorry, Prince has to has to, you know, come in.00:08:02JackSwoop in and save the.00:08:03JackDay and in in aerial story, she actually the the the whole premise of the story begins with her saving the the Prince. So I I I like that she's a strong. She's a strong woman and I've attracted to strong woman. My wife is a strong woman.00:08:14XochitlYeah.00:08:24JackSo.00:08:26JackI I don't know. I I I would definitely marry Ariel. I would kiss Cinderella and kill Snow White. Although I think that kill is pretty harsh, but it's the only choice we have. So yeah.00:08:38XochitlYeah, right, listeners, let us know what you would pick. I find it interesting that Jack and on the page because so many aerial haters.

(Part 1: A look at what children's media teaches kids about race)It's easy to think that racist behaviors start at home. But the truth is, how a person sees, maneuvers, and behaves in the world is more complicated. On today's episode, hosts Melissa and Andrew speak with Courtney Wong Chin, Senior Director of Research at Nickelodeon's Noggin, about the role the media plays in shaping the way kids think about and understand race. What do kids learn from media? And how can the adults in their lives guide them to be critical of problematic messages about race and embrace healthy racial attitudes about themselves and about others? Learn more about this episode and find related tools and resources on our website. The EmbraceRace Podcast is an extension of the work of EmbraceRace, a community of support for caregivers, parents, educators, and other adults in the lives of kids who strive to be informed, thoughtful and brave about race so that their kids can be too. At EmbraceRace, we create and curate the tools, community spaces, and networks we all need to raise a generation of kids who are resilient, empathetic, critical thinkers on race and who are committed to racial justice.

Do you feel like you're in the world where everybody is just angry with each other? How do you cope with a situation where you don't agree with the other person? You may not agree with their politics, their way of life, and you may have no intention of going over to the other side. The answer to most "aggressive conversations" is simpler than you would expect. And it's also a lot more fun and you get to stay friends. Let's find out how.

We inherit many sayings from our parents, caregivers, piers, society and the media. One of those sayings is "There's too much water under the bridge" or "Its water under the bridge". We usually say or view it as a not so good or a negative thing. But it doesn't have to be. In this episode I explain why having any water under the bridge in any given situation or relationship, isn't necessarily a bad thing and how to make it a really GREAT thing that will serve your highest good and transformation in the most amazing way.

Adapting to Students' Needs Across Institutional Types The recent episode of the SA Voices From The Field Podcast featuring Hing Potter dove deep into student affairs and the unique intricacies of working at different types of educational institutions. Potter's transition to the assistant director of student life and leadership at City College of San Francisco brought to light his advocacy for student development through inclusion and empowerment, which is a hallmark of his 11-year career. Changes in Professional Focus One remarkable aspect Potter shared was how his professional focus needed to shift as he navigated the diverse environments of 4-year public, 4-year private, and 2-year public institutions. This included adjusting plans and thought processes according to the timeframe of students' academic careers, thereby reinforcing the importance of adaptability in student affairs. Ensuring Continuity and Leadership Another challenge Dr. Jill Creighton discussed with Potter is how to guarantee continuity and develop student leadership within the limited timespan specific to 2-year colleges. Potter emphasized the need for transparency in passing on institutional knowledge, ensuring that successive student councils can uphold and continue advocating for student experiences. Salary Negotiation and Personal Advocacy The episode also highlighted Hing Potter's recent negotiation for a higher salary at City College, a testament to recognizing and advocating for one's value in the workplace. Dr. Jill Creighton's insights into the importance of comparing qualifications with job descriptions, depersonalizing negotiations, and communicating in writing provided listeners with valuable tips for their own career advancements. Upcoming NASPA Events Additionally, the episode provided updates on upcoming NASPA events, such as the 2024 Leadership Educators Institute and the 2024 national conference. These gatherings represent the changing and elevating landscape of student affairs as professionals continue their journey. Hing Potter's story is not just about the transitions within the professional sphere but also about personal growth and advocacy. It teaches us the profound impact of understanding institutional types, the art of negotiation, and the continuous pursuit of fostering student success.   TRANSCRIPT Dr. Jill Creighton [00:00:01]: Welcome to student affairs voices from the field, the podcast where we share your student affairs stories from fresh perspectives to seasoned experts.

Thanks for having me here today. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:01:35]: We're very glad to feature you today about your transition that is fairly fresh. By the time this episode airs, you'll have been in your new position for about 3 or for months. But right now, we're sitting at about the 60 day mark. And right now, before we get into all of the details of your transition, I'd love guests to start with how you got to your current seat. Hing Potter [00:01:55]: Yeah. Thank you so much again. Let's see. I came To City College of San Francisco because in my previous role, I felt like I had just outgrown myself. There wasn't much room for need to expand my professional skills or abilities. And I really just wanted to find a new challenge, a new way for me to interact with students, And I think it was just time for me to move on. So, you know, I did the whole thing where I put myself out there as best possible in different Formats apply to different colleges and universities, and City College of San Francisco is one of them, back in, I think, April time. And then I had a Couple interviews, 1 in the end of April and then 1 in the middle of May. Hing Potter [00:02:35]: That interview was all the way when I was vacationing in Spain, unforced I was actually on my way to my cousin's Wedding rehearsal dinner a hour before that. And I had, like, my laptop and everything on top of, like, this ironing board to give it elevation and stuff, And I met with the dean and the vice chancellor at that time. And then, over the summer, I eventually heard back by August. And 2 months later, I'm here. So that's, in a nutshell, what happened. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:03:02]: And you physically moved as well. Yes? Moved cities? Hing Potter [00:03:05]: Kind of. Actually, if we wanna expand this whole transition period, when the pandemic hit in early 2020, that's when I had actually moved from New York City to San Jose, California, so South Bay Area. And that was when I also moved into that new position at my previous role. And then that was an experience in itself because I felt like maybe I was, like, one of the first people to actually move geographical locations in the early onset of Pandemic, and I had left pretty much all of my stuff in New York. I brought a suitcase with me of just clothes, and then I had to ask a friend back in New York to Muster up the courage and go to my apartment and, like, pack all my stuff and wear a face mask and tell her to, like, please take care of yourself. If you don't feel comfortable, Please don't do this. But if it you are able to, I would, like, be more than happy to, like, compensate you in some way, shape, or form. I'll even pay for the shipping, of course. Hing Potter [00:03:57]: And so she was actually very, very, very helpful, and I'm so much gratitude for her for shipping all my stuff out to me from New York to the Bay Area. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:04:05]: That's a great friend. Hing Potter [00:04:06]: Yeah. Somebody who really went above and beyond the call of duty. And then fast forward a couple years Now from San Jose, I now live in kinda close by Stanford University in between Palo Alto, Menlo Park area. And I'm here with my partner and our little tiny 16 year old, dachshund. So his name is bust. Oh, senior doggy. Yes. He's a pandemic puppy. Hing Potter [00:04:30]: A couple years ago, my partner really, really, really, really wanted a dog, so We finally caved. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:04:36]: So thinking about all of the transitions that you've gone through, and it's really not just this immediate transition, but Lots of transitions starting about 3, 4 years ago at this point. How did you prepare yourself mentally to throw yourself into new environments and new spaces and new collegial relationships when the world was kind of in upheaval. Hing Potter [00:04:57]: I think for me, coming from New York to the Bay Area, That was definitely a challenge because, you know, initially, I had asked if I could go from New York to my parents in Seattle. And they actually told me no, not because they don't love me, but because at that time, everybody's very nervous about the Pandemic, and my parents are 60 and over. And at that time, you know, elderly people wanna be cautious. And that also New York was One of the early epicenters of the pandemic. And so they actually told me no. I was devastated inside, and I didn't know exactly how I was gonna get out of New York. I didn't know how I was gonna to this new job that I had lined up for myself. I didn't know if it would be safe to fly. Hing Potter [00:05:40]: A lot of things were up in the air. So I must've got my own courage. I bought a ticket actually from New York to Idaho because I went to undergrad in Idaho, and I made a lot of good friends out there. And Idaho hadn't really been hit yet, So I called up my friends there and say, hey. I need a crash over there. Can I hang out with you for a little bit? They're like, yeah. Yeah. No problem. Hing Potter [00:06:00]: Stay as long as you need. Get yourself out of New York. Do what you need to do. So I went to Idaho, actually, and I was there for a whole month, April that year. And then my job was supposed to start in June, and so I needed to somehow then get from Idaho to the Bay Area. So then I ended up buying a car because I realized at that time the pandemic was just getting worse, and flying just wasn't an option anymore for me, Personally, I just didn't feel comfortable. And so I bought a car, and then I drove all the way from Idaho to the Bay Area. It's about maybe 10 hours or so Driving, and I got here. Hing Potter [00:06:38]: And in the whole mist of, like, trying to get from Idaho to the Bay Area, I found this guy on Craigslist who had a extra room in a bungalow house for pretty cheap. And I was like, hey. It's something he told me he that he keeps his place clean and sanitary, and then he takes all the COVID precautions at that time, and I had to trust him and just go with it. So I did that. And then I got there in May, had a couple weeks to just Chill and not do anything, like, literally not do anything because everybody's on shutdown, and I'm just twiddling my thumbs in front of my face trying to stay active somehow. And then 2 weeks later, I start on June 1st at my previous role and went from there. It was a wild, maybe two and a half months or so In that transition. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:07:20]: So by comparison, your transition to your current position maybe seems a little more mild. Hing Potter [00:07:25]: It definitely. A little bit more mild, a little bit more easy to Navigate. I didn't necessarily have to, like, change states twice. I didn't have to figure out how to get from a to b buying a new car or anything. Or I have a car now. Thank goodness. And I can take public transportation, which is pretty nice. And City of College isn't that far from where I live now, where I as I used to work in San Jose, California. Hing Potter [00:07:47]: When you're now, I work in almost South San Francisco area, so not too much of a hassle there. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:07:51]: Did you change functional areas? Hing Potter [00:07:53]: You could say that. Yes. So in my previous role, I was in student services, which is more comprehensive. It supported students, particularly graduate students, trying to help them with navigating everything From student involvement to student resources to crisis management, title 9 advocacy, and Overall student services operations, so making sure everything from new student orientation in their own transition into the university, All the way to commencement so they're transitioned out of the university. And here in my new role, I strictly just advise the associate student Councils. I support student clubs and organizations, and I'm responsible for the student union building. So a lot more, you know, defined role for me, a lot more Concentrated, which I appreciate, and a big pay bump for me. So I'm I'm happy about where I'm at right now. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:08:43]: I believe you also shifted from private to 2 year public, which is, I think, a pretty big mentality shift in terms of how you approach the work every day. So tell us about that transition of environment. Hing Potter [00:08:56]: Oh my gosh. That is definitely something of a transition to experience. So I actually used to work in a public institution where I got to experience all that bureaucracy, barriers, and red tape, whatever you wanna call it. And then coming to My previous university as a private institution, you have a lot of leeway to kinda just do what you need to do. You have a lot more independent ability to make decisions and support your students in a more immediate manner. And I had my own university card, which was Super flexible in terms of, like, just making purchases and getting what we needed to have for our next event. You still set boundaries, of course, with their students So, like, hey. You gotta meet some timelines. Hing Potter [00:09:37]: I can't just go out tomorrow and get what you need for the next day, but it was a lot more flexible, I would say. And here coming back into the public sector, you definitely hit the wall really hard In terms of what is allowable in certain time frames and how you can get things done through different mechanisms. I also don't have a university or a college card anymore, so that's very interesting. And I actually had a a conversation with some students today. And Normally on Fridays, they get pizza for their meetings. And so this Friday, because it's their last meeting of the semester, they wanted to kinda have a little bit more of a Grandiose food invitation for people to come and join them. And they they honestly came up to me and said, hey, Heng. I know that this is really Awkward, but would you be willing to help us with, like, food and stuff? And I was like, well, what do you mean? Like, well, are you okay with putting this on your card, and we'll reimburse you? Like, Which is typical at this school. Hing Potter [00:10:38]: But in such a short period of time, I really had to just say, you know what? I can't do this. This is only a couple days notice, and you don't know if I have this money set aside personally for other things that I need to do. And I'm gonna be honest. Like, you guys need to prepare or plan ahead more in advance for something like this. You can't just make last minute adjustments. And the fact that you coming up to me saying, hey. Hey. This is really awkward, lets me know that you know you didn't plan well enough for quite a change in just 2 days. Hing Potter [00:11:07]: So There's that kind of mentality when it comes to how you get funds and resources or how you have to Plan ahead and think about what you wanna do. And at a private institution, you might be able to have a little bit more flexibility with last minute adjustments. But at a public institution, you kinda have to be committed. One of my previous roles when I was in New York at John Jay, all of our clubs had to Submit, for example, a whole year's worth, a calendar of events with budgets for each events, and that was due before classes started in the fall. And these were events all the way from September all the way to next May. And at at private school, you still have a year's worth of events planned out, but you don't have to Necessarily preallocate a whole bunch of stuff that far in advance. So a lot more flexibility in terms of, like, what you can and cannot do. So quickly learning that back here in the public sector on my own. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:12:00]: Flexibility, but also budgetary privilege. So I think depending on the nature of your private institution, the funds are just unrestricted in different ways where they might be more restricted at a public institution, but also the privilege of the size of the budget Or the different things that you're doing. And it always hurts my heart to hear that a lot of times that students or individual Professionals are funding the work of the university and having it reimbursed. I think that's a business practice that is really challenging because it makes a lot of assumptions, and it also puts the labor on the people that are earning the least. It's just it's a challenging dynamic. Hing Potter [00:12:37]: Me and my new dean, we we talked about how where do we draw the line when it comes to like this. And is this really our problem in terms of using our personal funds, or how much of this is a college problem? The fact that the college doesn't have the mechanisms in place is not my issue, and it's not my dean's issue. It's, you know, the college's issue that They can't have systems where it's more streamlined and it's more beneficial and it's more immediate For the student experience. So that really does impact how they go around doing things. And I don't want students to be spending most of their Time when they're in these leadership roles or in they're in these student clubs trying to navigate these systems. That's not what being involved uninvolved student is about. I want them to be able to just do what they need to do, and institutions in general need to figure out what that is that they can do to kind of, like, break down those Barriers. Unfortunately, it might not always be a college issue. Hing Potter [00:13:33]: It could be a district wide issue, or it could be a state issue. And in different institutions, It could come down to, you know, the registrars or the bursars or whoever's controlling the money for the institution. It could be a specific department issue and a range of things, but Students shouldn't have to be navigating those those types of waters in the 1st place, I don't think. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:13:53]: Other than the budgetary modeling and planning, what are the other differences that you're experiencing moving from private to public. Hing Potter [00:14:01]: Well, one of the things is that at my private institution that I was at, it was a 4 year institution. But I was working mostly with graduate students in tech. And now I'm working with community college students who Have a range of ages and a range of perspectives. And I was also formally more working mostly with international graduate Students. And now I'm working with mostly domestic US students. So that's kind of a shift in itself. Working with international students, you really had to Talk to them a lot more about culture and around how higher ed works in terms of different systems and processes to get their programming in place. Whereas at City College of San Francisco, the students are a little bit more intuitive about these processes because it's kind of built into the culture of, like, going to school and the stuff that my international students were doing, the graduate international students were Very more professional development focused, whereas the community college students, they're more about building culture. Hing Potter [00:15:02]: They're more about enriching this the campus experience. They're also doing a lot of they have this theme this year, informal theme of advocacy. So they're really trying to, like, source What are the issues on campus and how they're impacting students and what their role is in terms of advocating for a better experience when it comes to x, y, and z issues. So Whereas the international students, again, more professional development focused, not necessarily too concerned with the policies and issues that might that you might find at institution of of a 4 year institutions. Kinda some of those on the surface level differences for sure. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:15:37]: I feel like a lot of Professionals spend most of their career in one type of institution, and you've done 4 year public, 4 year private, and now 2 year public. Kind of looking across all of those experiences. And to overgeneralize to a degree, what do you see as kind of the changes in Foci for you as a professional as you navigate these different types of institutions. Hing Potter [00:16:00]: I think, For me, the focus between we'll just generalize from a 4 year to a 2 year. The focus is at a 4 year institution, You have the ability to work with the students in a little bit more long term opportunity. You're working for example, when I was at John Jay, I'm working with these students who find themselves invested in in programming and involvement and leadership in a more long term plan. Whereas Here at City College, they wanna be done in 2 years. And so they wanna have action. They wanna have things get done a lot more quickly. But, again, kinda going back to the whole bureaucracy machine, how quickly that happens can be different. So it's like I was talking to a student actually the other day. Hing Potter [00:16:47]: We were talking about this whole three five seven plan. What do you wanna have normally happen in 3 years and 5 years and 7 years? And I had to work with the student to say, like, okay. Well, we're at a 2 year school. Instead of 357, what do you wanna have done maybe in, like, 2 semesters, in 3 semesters, and 4 semesters? Because by that time, now the question should be, what have you been able to do in terms of advocating for the student experience that you want? And when you walk away, What kind of legacy will you be proud to have left here at City College that you can say, I did that? Whereas at a 4 year institution, I'm I'm working with students. Not necessarily 357 again, but more of like, k. What do you wanna do in the 1st year, the 2nd year, 3rd year, and 4th year? So it's a little bit different planning, a little bit different, like, Thought process when I'm working with the students in that regard. How do Dr. Jill Creighton [00:17:41]: you plan for continuity and student leadership in a model that's much shorter in time frame? Hing Potter [00:17:47]: Oh my goodness. It really does come down, I think, to working with the students on that transition between leadership. So, for example, really working with the council that I have right now and saying, how are we building your council institutional knowledge, And how are we working to make sure that that knowledge is passed on to the next council in a transparent and clear way? What are you doing right now to make sure that if so and so person who follows you in your footsteps, When they pick up the work that you're doing, they can easily see, oh, okay. I have to now do steps 3, 4, and 5 because the last person did Steps 1 and 2. So it really comes down to that clear transparency of what they're doing now, how they're doing it, and Putting it together for, clearly, for the next group. One of the things that we actually talked about coincidentally today is communication. Not just communication between each other today, but communication between a theoretical group that's gonna take over next year And then that group that's gonna take over in 2 years. City College is building its new student success center. Hing Potter [00:18:54]: And one of the big projects that this council wants to have is this social justice mural that will go in the student success center. The building is not gonna be done for another, maybe, two and a half years. So by then, we'll be 2, maybe 3 councils down the road. What does that continuity look like between today and the council that looks To be there in place when the student success center actually comes online. So these are questions that I'm asking of them to consider as well. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:19:21]: You've got this beautiful plan going forward, and we all know that with student leadership shifts, priorities change as well. How do you Think you're going to be navigating when the priorities of previous councils don't align with the future councils. Hing Potter [00:19:36]: I think the biggest thing when I'm working with students is really creating a mindset of student Advocacy, student experience, and this notion of student involvement that is meaningful And that is impactful. And so the focus of each council I think it's okay for it to change year over year if that's the case. But as long as it's still centered and rooted in enhancing the student experience or enhancing the Opportunities that students have to get involved and get engaged, grow their skill sets professionally and personally, then I think that's the core thing to to maintain. And that's something that I will always tell students regardless of how long I'm in this field. And that's something that I've always told students for the 10 years that I've been in this field is that priorities change, and that's totally fine. And my job isn't necessarily to tell students what their priorities should be. My job is to tell them, Hey. Your priorities are great. Hing Potter [00:20:36]: They make sense that they're sustainable. But as long as they're rooted in the ability for students to grow themselves. I think that's the most important factor there. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:20:46]: Let's back up a little bit and talk about you as a human doing all of these transitions. So you've created what sounds like a really great game plan for yourself for the next couple of semesters in this new position. But what other factors did you need to be thinking about about entering a new role, especially knowing that the institutional type was going to be a new environment for you. Hing Potter [00:21:07]: Personally, for me, before I came to City College, One of the requirements for me was that I needed them to honor my 2 week vacation that I had that I just came back from a couple weeks ago when I went to Asia. And if they didn't do that, then that was gonna be a deal breaker. And so luckily for me, they said yes. Like, no worries. We'll make it work. We definitely wanna respect that. Another thing for me was just making sure that my own value was seen and met In terms of the abilities that I bring to the table, but also the lifestyle that I wanted to maintain or grow myself. So in terms of, like, a salary, I had to really learn how to advocate. Hing Potter [00:21:46]: This is my 1st time advocating for a salary that I wanted, a salary that I knew that I deserved. I think, City College, they they have this grade step program where I think it's, like, grades 1 through 12 or something. And they posted this position as grade 1, so they were gonna offer me grade 1. And me knowing what I know, how long I've been in the field, I knew that I was not at that value. So I also felt a little bit like, okay. Grade 1 is entry level. You know? I'm I'm justifying these reasons for why I'm not a grade one person. Grade one is entry level. Hing Potter [00:22:23]: I'm well beyond entry level. I have a better understanding of the student experience At multiple different types of institutions, coast to coast, I'm not grade one value. So I actually had to write this out in an email to them to the HR office. And I, you know, came to them with all these points. And the next day, they gave me a call, and I said, Hey. How's it going? And they said, well, we wanted to talk to you about your salary. And I was like, okay. Well, first, before you say anything, I'm sorry. Hing Potter [00:22:51]: But before you say anything, Did you get my email? Yes. We got your email. Okay. Great. And I wanted to ask that because it's super important that we start there because that is what's important to me. That is where I see my value. And what can you offer me based upon me being in student affairs for 10 years, me having all this different and the fact that you came to me asking me to come to City College. And so they actually bumped me up 3 or 4 grades more, which was An extra almost $20,000. Hing Potter [00:23:23]: So when they offered me that, I was like, okay. Now we're talking. Like, I can come to City College now. So it was a lot of anxiety. It was I was really nervous when I'm typing this email out to HR. My fingers were sweating, and I had never really been Taught or told how to write an email out like this or or anything? I mean, people tell you all the time, know your worth. Know what your value is. And I honestly think, you know, it is easier said than done to, like, give this advice to people. Hing Potter [00:23:52]: But when the person who's receiving that advice takes it, Yes. You can receive it. But then when it comes time to execute it, it's a whole another story. Like, you now have to do something that you might not ever have done before. You might have to do something that another person that looks like me, a brown Asian person, might not have ever done before. And so I share this story now because I think it's super important that I have now lived this experience. I have written that email. I've Had that tough conversation with HR to say, this is a deal breaker. Hing Potter [00:24:23]: If you don't see my value, don't recognize me for what I bring to the table, then I don't know if I can come to City College. Luckily enough for me, they saw that and were able to give me what I wanted. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:24:33]: And I think that's great advice. And, also, it sounds like you were willing to walk away if that was necessary. Hing Potter [00:24:39]: I'll be completely honest. I wasn't necessarily happy at my previous role because, as I said, there was no growth you did for me there. I wasn't doing the creative work that I love doing anymore there because I just didn't have the opportunities to to banned. But if City College didn't see my worth or my value, I sadly was going to stay at my previous role and suck it up because It just wasn't something that I really wanted to fight for, to go to battle for. I was making the self conscious decision that Even though I wasn't growing, I still loved the students. And I don't think anybody I'm not saying to do what I do or Think about what I think about, but it's a really sad situation, I think, when people are put into those situations. And having to decide whether you You wanna stay at a place where you have no growth, but you love the students or having to potentially go somewhere else where they might see your value, but you don't know what you're getting yourself into. So it's it's a tricky field to navigate. Hing Potter [00:25:41]: And regardless of who you are, I wouldn't wish that on anybody. It just happened to turn out in my favor for me. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:25:47]: We haven't talked a ton about salary negotiation on the show, and I think you've offered some really important tips. Let me repackage them just really concisely for folks who are trying to negotiate for themselves and have never done it before. Step 1 is to compare your resume and your experiences with the job description and really note where you meet and where you exceed those minimum qualifications and those preferred qualifications because that's gonna be your starting point for arguing for more money. It's not really an argument, a negotiation. And I think step 2 is, Ping said it really well, you need to be working with HR, not necessarily the hiring manager, depending on who's making the offer, and it is typically coming from the HR perspective. Sometimes you're gonna run up against a budgetary limitation where there's only so much budgeted for the position and there's not flexibility, and that's something you need to be prepared to here. And sometimes you're going to be in a position like Hain was where your experiences are clearly articulated in a way that the budgetary Alignment wasn't there from the starting spot and you can get there together to an ending spot. But I think another important thing is to depersonalize it a little bit. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:54]: So instead of saying, can you offer x? Perhaps can x institution offer this amount of money? And so you're asking what the institution can do, not what the person can do. And that can depersonalize it a little bit and make it really more about the business perspective about what's happening in your salary negotiation. The 3rd piece of advice that I heard from Hing is make sure you do it in writing at first. And then beyond that, you can have that negotiation conversation on the phone. But getting it out in writing also gives both parties a chance to really be reflective and think about things. And that way, it's also not a pressured environment for either party, and no one is kind of at liberty to respond in the moment. They can both go back and take some time. Did I miss any tips from you, Heng? Hing Potter [00:27:37]: No. That was very well, succinctly said for me. Appreciate it. The only other thing that I would Definitely recommend is that when you do go into a different institution and you start looking at how their salaries are structured is really becoming knowledgeable about their pay grade systems and how it works. The California Community College System is a beast, And I wouldn't know where to look because I don't know the system that well. But when I had started looking at the salary options and things like that, A really good friend of mine, doctor Dawn Li from San Jose State University, she had previous experience in the community college system and really gave me some good advice and helped me to navigate some of these intricacies when it comes to payroll structures and how to word things and how to really advocate for yourself. So I really wanna just give a shout out to her and give her all the things and and being able to support me. So having somebody, you know, with that experience in Whatever system you are looking potentially to go into, that's another plus on your half if you can get that.

Federal agency scores plummeted on the 17th Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) scorecard. The reason for the drop in grades: Continued struggles to implement best practices for moving workloads and services to the cloud. But oversight leaders say the decrease in grades is not only expected, but not indicative of the progress agencies have made over the last decade. The scorecard, released today by Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), co-author of FITARA, showed double the amount of “C” grades with 10 “Cs” and three “Ds” for the first time since July 2022. At the FITARA scorecard roundtable today on Capitol Hill, Connolly and Carol Harris, the director of cybersecurity and technology at the Government Accountability Office, were quick to downplay the drop in grades.

If this message has blessed you please share it, that others may hear! God bless you.Revelation 1:9-18; Luke 5:7-8Genesis 17:1-3: Abraham Fell Face DownExodus 33:18-21 Moses Can't See God's FaceEzekiel 1:28 Ezekiel fell face downIt's all about the experience of “Awe” in the presence of God. Spiritmanifestations like “being slain in the Spirit” or any other manifestations, should not only produce spiritual giddiness, laughter or even happiness, but at times “awe” or fear and reverence for the Lord. Scripture tells us about the “Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom or knowledge but the foolish despise or reject such impartations (Proverbs 1:7)”The above people of God, prophets in their own right, all experienced this fear,reverence or “awe.” “Awe” defined by our biblical examples goes beyond just “toadmire” but a feeling of being in the presence of someone so vast that it transcends ourunderstanding or capacity to bear!So many of them fell forward in awe. What's necessary in our personalexperience with God is both to know that He is love and also that He is “awesome”: toexperience His unconditional love and His fearful majesty. Otherwise we don't get thefull picture as both Peter in Luke 5:7-8, and John in Revelation 1 ( our main text) andothers who experienced His miraculous presence: again that He is both loving andawesome. If God is just lovey dovey then we might get the idea that as His children wecan get away with anything and He won't mind. No! Note what Ananias and Saphiralearned the hard way, that God's person is not to be taken lightly even lied to (Acts1-11). We need to sit on his lap, as daddy and kneel at His feet as King. Let's exploreJohn's experience in Revelation 1:9-18.A) What John saw and how He reacteda) What he saw and heard.i) He was in the Spirit on the Lord's dayii) He heard a loud voice like a trumpet blast behind him (Shock,surprise!)iii) He was commanded to write down what he hears and sees forseven churches (There is a message; not just a shockingexperience)iv) The vision and message is in Apocalyptic language borrowed fromO.T. passages like, Daniel 7:9-13; 10:6; (See also Revelation19:13). Among the lampstands stood someone like the son of manbut how he was dressed, looked and spoke did not resemble thegentle shepherd Jesus presented in the Gospels: read verses13-16B) How he reacted, 1:17 and how Jesus responded.He saw and heard and physically and emotionally reacted by fear andawe: Message: This is some serious business, now listen up! But the revelationdoesn't end here. Note again the latter part of verse 7: Jesus' consolation: Hephysically placed His right hand on him and said stop being afraid(awe) etc.Verse 18. What started as awe, fear and reverence ends in consolation, and acrucial message about the Kingdom.C) Out of it all comes an awesome Revelation and mission. And because of theexperience John had with the Risen Christ and the ensuing awe, he got right to it.This happened while he was still imprisoned in Patmos.a) The Manifestation that the Lord gave John produced the experience ofawe that propelled him to write the message in spite of his prison situation(Compare him with Jeremiah). He felt down awestruck at His presenceand got up fearless in His calling.Read 1 Peter 6:6-9Amen

Show Notes Kris survived his surgery, and has returned to talk about video games! It's the end of January, and that means it's time for the first 10 20 30 40 of the year, and it's, well, not that great. January isn't typically the best month for gaming, but all hope isn't lost! There are actually a small handful of notable game releases that keep things from being all awful. At the top of the show, Dan didn't play much of anything, but Kris went hands on with the new Among Us DLC for Vampire Survivors, played a whole bunch of the Metal Gear Collection, and got to give some early impressions on the CD-i Zelda homage Arzette! Is it more than a cheap nostalgia grab? Listen on to find out! Finally, In Week Old News, Microsoft lays off a ton of people, but it's okay because they're one of the richest companies in the world.

As we jump into Paul's opening lines of his letter to his friends in Colossai, let me say this and then explain it. "When it comes to Christ and his mission, there is more than I can see." There is more to life, more to Christ, more to the Kingdom of God, more than I can see. There is more happening in me and around me, and perhaps even through me than I can see.There is more brokenness and more potential for glory than I can see and what is unseen is not necessarily unreal. In fact, Paul's call to fix our eyes on the realities of heaven is a call to get a bit obsessed with what we cannot see!

The Torah in Parashat Ki-Tabo (Debarim 28:9) commands, “Ve'halachta Bi'drachav” – “You shall walk in his ways.” The Sefer Ha'hinuch writes that this verse introduces the obligation to follow G-d's example, to conduct ourselves in accordance with the qualities that He models for us. The Gemara, in several places (including Sota 14), teaches that just as G-d is merciful, kind and compassionate, we must be merciful, kind and compassionate in our interactions and dealings with other people. Although we human beings are limited and imperfect, and are thus incapable of attaining G-d's pristine perfection, this verse commands us to strive to follow His example. This includes performing acts of kindness for other people, just as G-d provided Adam and Hava with clothing, visited Abraham Abinu when he was ill, comforted Yishak when his father passed away, and buried Moshe Rabbenu after his death. We are to follow G-d's example and perform these and other acts of kindness. The reason for this Misva, the Sefer Ha'hinuch writes, is obvious, as we are to constantly strive to improve our character, by working to follow the example set for us by G-d Himself. The Sefer Ha'hinuch explains that this Misva affects everything we do, governing the way we eat, conduct our financial affairs, our interactions with other people, and our prayers and Torah study. Everything we do should be done in accordance with the character traits modeled for us by the Almighty. Furthermore, the Sefer Ha'hinuch adds, the Rambam taught that this Misva includes the obligation to follow the “middle way,” meaning, to avoid extremes, and conduct ourselves reasonably and moderately. We must be neither stingy nor overly generous. We need to find the “happy medium” with regard to our character traits. This Misva requires us to constantly scrutinize our conduct, and evaluate ourselves, to determine whether we behave with proper Middot (character traits). The Sages inferred this concept from the verse (Tehillim 50:23), “Ve'sam Derech,” which could be read as “Ve'sham Derech” – “and assessing the way,” alluding to the requirement to introspect and evaluate one's behavior. One who lives this way, the Sages teach, will earn a portion in the world to come, and will have the privilege of beholding the Shechina. This Misva applies in all times and places, and is binding upon both men and women. One transgresses this command by failing to work to improve his character and to suppress his Yeser Ha'ra (evil inclination) so that he faithfully abides by the Misvot. Rav Moshe Cordovero (Safed, 1522-1570) wrote a famous work, Tomer Debora, which presents a detailed, step-by-step guide for how to follow G-d's thirteen attributes of mercy which He pronounced to Moshe (Shemot 34:6-7). In the context of the Sefer Ha'hinuch's discussion of this Misva, he addresses an important philosophical question relevant to the attribution of human character traits to G-d. Although we find that G-d is described in the Torah and by the prophets as having various qualities, we must not make the mistake of attributing to Him human properties. For example, one of the thirteen attributes of mercy is “Erech Apayim” (patience, being slow to anger), which seems to imply that G-d experiences anger which He then restrains. The Sefer Ha'hinuch writes that it is preposterous to think of G-d as actually experiencing anger. After all, one feels anger because of frustration, His inability to control the situation in the way He wants. G-d, of course, has unlimited power over the universe, and can do anything He wishes. He thus never has any reason to feel angry. And, anger is a sign of a faulty character, whereas G-d, quite obviously, is perfect. Necessarily, then, the descriptions of G-d's anger must be understood allegorically. The Sefer Ha'hinuch explains that since there is a great deal of evil in the world, and many people worship other deities, the world deserves annihilation. G-d's allowing the world to continue existing is depicted as His restraining His anger, in that He refrains from punishing the world the way it deserves to be punished. The Gemara (Berachot 7a) comments that G-d is angry for one moment each day (“Ve'Kel Zo'em Be'chol Yom”), and the Sefer Ha'hinuch explains this as a reference to the moment each day when the world's sins “tip the scales,” exceeding its merits. At that moment, G-d is “angry” in the sense that the world deserves to be annihilated. G-d Himself, as explained, does not actually become angry, but the world becomes deserving of G-d's anger, and this is the meaning of those passages which depict G-d as angry. The Misva of “Ve'halachta Bi'drachav” is the 611 th Misva, and 611 is the Gematria of the word “Torah.” This alludes to the singular importance of this Misva, as it is all-encompassing, calling upon us to conduct all our affairs, throughout the entire day, in accordance with the values and character traits taught to us by G-d. A beautiful example of the significance of this Misva is a story told of a wealthy woman who was passing by a department store, and she noticed several children peering into the store window. She discovered that these were underprivileged orphans, who longingly stared at all the beautiful clothing for sale in the store, which they could never purchase. The woman brought them inside the store and purchased for them complete outfits, from head to toe. As they were leaving, one of the children turned to her and asked, “Who are you? Are you G-d?” “No,” the woman replied, “I am one of His children.” “That makes sense,” the children said. “You are related to Him, so you act like Him.” The Jewish People are called G-d's children. When we act kindly and compassionately, we show the world that G-d, our Father, is kind and compassionate, and we thus bring honor and glory to not only ourselves, but also to Hashem.

In this episode Jonny and John-Mark discuss why it is appropriate to draw logical deductions from texts of Scripture which contain more ideas than one within them. They argue that Jesus read the Bible like this and that the language of 'Necessarily Contained...' that is found in the Second London Baptist Confession is both sound and orthodox.

Lots of well-run, patient brands need an angel infusion right now. But the absence of VC right now is still a blessing. Instead, founders will need to network for angel cash, be much more focused and disciplined and yes fewer people will get to play. Fewer, better businesses actually improve the whole ecosystem in my opinion. In this episode, I lay out how I came to this conclusion recently.Your Host: Dr. James F.

What we have heard and we've read in the Bible, well it ain't necessarily so. So goes the old Porgy and Bess song. Perhaps they did not read Thomas Moore's version, Gospel The Book of John, in which regardless of religion or atheism one discovers a deeper more meaningful spirituality hidden in the root meanings of the words used. Unfortunately, much of the work of John and others has been turned into moralistic dogma. But what we find in the root language is a more celebrative, deeply mystical and loving message. In Moore's book we discover a different Jesus than the one described for us by earlier translations. This new rendition of Jesus is Dionysian in his urging us toward a full and meaningful celebration of living. He tells us that we are to remember who we are, and he guides us to that knowledge with his actions and words. Come learn of this new Jesus. See if you like him now.

Mequell and Adam go through the whole discussion of why they landed on meds. (For a revisit of all the other avenues they tried refer to Ep. 5: Sifting through Treatment Options). Even though they are solidly in the camp that medication is required for her management, there are people who are able to maintain stability and manage using different treatment options. The key is to WORK WITH PROFESSIONALS! No one should be making the decision to go on or off meds unless working with a psychiatrist. Aaaand the main reason Mequell and Adam are so loud with beating the medication drum is because it seems like all the other voices are Anti Meds and frankly, the discussion just needs to be balanced since meds literally saved Mequells life. mentalillnesswarrior.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mequell-buck/message

Check it out below: Susan King (00:00:00) - A lot of people like to talk about net zero. These days, I view it as an important step towards net zero because think that you need to make your your project, you know, rightsize it, make it as efficient as it can be, make it using as little energy as possible. And then you can talk about trying to, you know, get all the way to to not needing any, you know, any power brought to the building.   Sam Wilson (00:00:23) - 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.   Sam Wilson (00:00:36) - Susan King is a registered architect and principal at one of the oldest and largest architecture and engineering firms in the country. Susan, welcome to the show.   Susan King (00:00:47) - Thank you. Thank you for having me.   Sam Wilson (00:00:48) - Absolutely.   Sam Wilson (00:00:49) - The pleasure is mine. Susan, There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Susan King (00:00:58) - All of them in 90s.   Sam Wilson (00:01:00) - Got it.   Susan King (00:01:02) - Okay, so where did I start? Guess I wanted to be an architect from a really, really young age. I grew up in northeastern Ohio. I was the artist in the family. I was always drawing and I studied Frank Lloyd Wright in, um, in art class and particularly Fallingwater. And that was it. After that, I'm like, that's what I want to do. And so guess fast forward several years later, graduated from college architecture degree worked, worked and became licensed and then started to kind of focus my career into housing, which has been all kinds of housing but has been the main focus of, you know, of my professional life. So when I say, yeah, I because when I say all kinds of housing mean with the exception of no single family housing, but does senior living, underserved populations, market rate, high end luxury condo, the whole student housing, the whole gamut of multifamily, you.   Sam Wilson (00:02:12) - Get to see it all. And I guess for those who are listening, I've got several architects as friends and as in-laws.   Sam Wilson (00:02:22) - I mean, getting through architecture, getting not just through school is really, really hard and then getting passed all the exams. I mean, I don't think people realize how many exams are still left when you guys graduate college.   Susan King (00:02:38) - Yeah. Yeah. So I've blocked all that out of my life, I'm sure. So. Well, and then I'll just tell a funny story that before I studied Frank Lloyd Wright and decided on architecture, I had I love animals. I'm a cat person and I wanted to be a veterinarian. And so the thing that amuses me now, looking back, is that I was like, Oh, no way. I'm not going to school for eight years to be to be a vet. And then instead I ended up going for six to become an architect. And then and then also after that's over, as you say, had to finish my I had some of my internship while as part of my schooling there's a it constantly changes so my info may be a little out of date, but it's like a 2 or 3 year internship where you're then out of school working as an architect, under supervision, people who are licensed.   Susan King (00:03:32) - And then you get to take the fun licensing exam, which in my day was when it was in person, was a one time of year. You got one shot at it. Um, I think it was 3 or 4 days of test after test after test. And then if you didn't pass all of it, you had to wait a whole year to to retake it. So, yes, it was quite an ordeal. I think I still have nightmares about like waking up and finding out I have to do that again. But today, today, it's all modernized. And I hate to sound like my parents. Like when I was your age, I had to do this, that and the other. But it's all I think it's like all year round. It still takes people a long time to get through its 8 or 9 tests. Still, that hasn't changed and it does still take them several years. Even though it's spread out, you know, they can they maybe it's worse now. They're constant.   Susan King (00:04:25) - They take you know, it's constant throughout your life until you're done. And it can take 2 or 3 years to get through all of it, right?   Sam Wilson (00:04:32) - Yeah, it's amazing. It's absolutely amazing. I just. Yeah, watching, watching one of my sister in law's get through, it was just like, oh, my gosh, does this ever end? And so years later, they're still taking and studying and just just banging their head against the desk, you know, studying day in and day out for one exam, they get 3000. Well, we got eight more to go like, Oh, right.   Sam Wilson (00:04:53) - And so good on you. Good on you for getting.   Sam Wilson (00:04:56) - Through it and getting it done. I mean, I guess I say all that to say one, It takes a lot of commitment and discipline to get that done. And then secondly, you guys have to know a lot to do what you do. And I think that's that's really, really cool. Let's let's kind of dive in, if we can, into what you particularly work on there at head and kind of well, just tell me a little bit about that.   Sam Wilson (00:05:19) - Maybe we'll, I'll ask my next questions later on.   Susan King (00:05:22) - Yeah. So, so now right. And so I'm a principal, so I'm an owner of the firm now and then. Guess that's a whole nother journey to if you even want that, you know, some architects don't know. Necessarily, you know, want that. Want that responsibility. Yeah. But I always did. I guess I'm full of jokes because the other joke I make now is guess because I get asked to speak a lot about different things and I mentor a lot. And, um, one of the other things I usually share is that I always wanted to be an owner, Um, but I thought I would be with a smaller firm. I did not see myself with a large national practice, so but on the other hand, I never wanted to be a sole proprietor either. I'm very collaborative. Um, like to bounce things off people always. Everything's a team, especially when you're coming, you know, when you're talking about building or designing buildings.   Susan King (00:06:20) - There's so many pieces to it that it's always a team effort. But the surprise to me was I always thought I'd have maybe 2 or 3 partners, you know, didn't think I'd have. I think I have 50.   Sam Wilson (00:06:32) - 50 partners.   Susan King (00:06:33) - So I'm one of 51 shareholders in the firm. So but I, I think I mentioned already, I mean, went to I graduated from the University of Cincinnati. It was a bachelor of architecture degree. And with that came some practical experience because they had I think they still have this it's a cooperative program. So it takes you six years to get your five year degree because you're after your second year, you're actually working in architectural offices. So that begins that's the beginning of your your intern period that counts towards the licensing time. So, um, so after that, I wanted to move. I worked in Chicago as a student and wanted to return here after graduate and, and that's what I did. So I worked in a few different firms all smaller. And even the firm that I joined in Chicago that became head was a 40, 50 person firm.   Susan King (00:07:33) - And um, and has formed as a it's been a series of acquisitions over the past like 20 years. Guess that's how we've grown to a national practice. So, so I've been here actually kind of a long time and I was an associate at the time that so was already licensed. And I do a bit of design, a bit of planning in all the way into the details. I spent several years doing contract administration, which is observing, observing the buildings, getting built. So I kind of had all of that under my belt before then, you know, became an owner of the of the project. And so but when I made the move to ever since I've been here, it's I came here to do multifamily housing and that's been what I've done. And like I already mentioned a lot of affordable housing and a lot of senior living at all levels of care. Um, has been my main focus. So when you ask like, what do I like? What is my day? What did my day look like? Um, uh, so it can it's different every day.   Susan King (00:08:45) - And maybe that's why I like it. Um, but it'll involve a bit of, you know, depending projects at different phases. I mentioned earlier, we have a project under construction right now, so I've got actually a couple of things under construction right now. So there's a little bit I'm not the one in the field, but, but do get involved, you know, in different things that come up that are going on during that process. But prior, prior to getting to construction, there's there's design, there's planning, there's getting the the client doing the marketing to get the project to begin with. So going all the way back to the other end of the line. So I kind of as a principal, I touch all of that.   Sam Wilson (00:09:24) - All of it, all of it, Yeah. Know and, and that's, that's amazing, first of all. But let's, let's, let's talk a little bit about a project you're most excited about right now. What's some things you're seeing because I know you got to have favorites don't lie to me and tell me you don't because there's some stuff you're like, Oh, this is really fun to work on.   Sam Wilson (00:09:42) - The other stuff, you're like, okay, that's a snooze fest. We'll do it. But that's boring.   Sam Wilson (00:09:47) - So yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:09:49) - I'll talk about the stuff that put you to sleep, talking about the stuff you're working on right now that's really, really fun and compelling for you personally.   Susan King (00:09:55) - Okay, So we'll I'll start with the one that we chatted about right before we came on live. Um, the one that is under construction. Um, it's a smaller project. It's only four stories, but it is, it's all affordable. It's called the Conservatory Apartments. It's here in the city of Chicago. And what's so I don't know if I said this already, but it's 43 studio apartment, so that's what makes it a little bit smaller than normal. Um, and it, it has a very sustainable, energy efficient green, green if you want to use that word agenda. So I really get excited. Don't really care. With the topology is. But if a project can bring together the sustainability pieces and make it happen, I think that's where that's what really gets me excited and this is one of those in the project is pursuing passive house certification, which is kind of an extreme green.   Susan King (00:10:55) - I always want to say prescriptive. I don't know if that's really right, but it's a tried and true methodology of building that is a little different than the traditional way, but it produces a very high performance envelope for the building. And I view it as a lot of people like to talk about net zero these days. I view it as an important step towards net zero because think that you need to make your your project, you know, rightsize it, make it as efficient as it can be, make it using as little energy as possible. And then you can talk about trying to, you know, get all the way to to not needing any, you know, any power brought to the building. So, so that project is about halfway done. And we had received our our design certification for Passive house and the acronym is US. So Passive House Institute, United States. There's actually a think a European or German institute as well. Um, so they are the ones that are monitoring, monitoring what we're doing and making sure we're, we're doing it all correctly.   Susan King (00:12:05) - And today actually happens to be the blower door test where they're going to think it's happening. It should be happening right now as I'm speaking, it's pumping all this air air into the building to check the whole envelope before they start doing the the cladding and everything to make sure it's as tight as it is supposed to be. So this is the first time my firm has has been able to, you know, have had the opportunity to pursue this type of certification. A lot of people might be more familiar with Leed. We've done a ton of lead and all of that. So to me, this there are these. Other methodologies out there, or if it's not really technology, but certifications that are a little more extreme green in my opinion. So like living building challenge and and passive house think that in those categories. So so that's one project. Um, I'm also I have another project that's just starting that we are actually also in Chicago but we're teamed with a, another firm from California. Um, that's part of that we just won earlier in the summer.   Susan King (00:13:15) - It was part of a design competition here in Chicago. There's for the past 3 or 4 years, there has been an initiative called Invest Southwest. And it was focused on our, the neighborhoods of Chicago to the south and to the west, trying to bring catalytic projects into neighborhoods that had previously sort of been underserved, underdeveloped and all that. And this was an initiative coming out of the mayor's office. And so it was it was highly competitive. And so there were several of those types of projects going on around the city right now. And so we're we're again, proud to be part of one of them.   Sam Wilson (00:13:54) - That's really cool. I mean, yeah, those are those are fun, fun projects for you to work on. Let's go back to the four story conservatory project for just a second. I had a question on that. When you're doing such a unique design, unique building methodology, what is that process like? Interfacing with local building codes, building inspectors? I mean.   Susan King (00:14:21) - Oh yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:14:24) - It can't be an.   Sam Wilson (00:14:25) - Easy row to hoe.   Susan King (00:14:27) - No, it was not. But think it think it's going to get easier here now and not I'm not going to say because because we we forged the way by ourselves, that's for sure. But I'm laughing because we we actually had an amazing time getting our permit a year ago. I was just pulling out my hair going, Are we ever going to get this thing out? And the interesting thing, though, about our that project and that timeline, we happen to just be paralleling it was sort of like we were just maybe just ahead, if we'd just been a couple months later, her life would have been easier. But the, the codes were changing here and have changed. Um, and so it should be I'm hoping to do another and I'm hoping the road will be easier the next time. But we actually had to ask for, um, an alternative compliance path on our, our ventilation requirements. And again, lucky for us, there was a whole group of advocates and other people who were working on this issue directly with the city of Chicago Department of Buildings to get these changes that we were asking for, um, built into the code.   Susan King (00:15:43) - And so it's just the little, you know, it was, yeah. So all of that was taking taking officially effect as we were finally pulling our permit. So our timing was just in, in parallel with it and just keep thinking that, yes, my next one and everyone who is coming behind us, it should be easier. But but historically, um, the city of Chicago, their their building code and I'm not a mechanical engineer, so I'm not the best person to be able to explain this. But it was around the things we were asking for were around ventilation and exhaust and that, um, you know, having a really tight envelope. You've got to balance it with a mechanically ventilated system so that you don't get, you know, the sick building and all of that. So it's really important, right? It's important stuff. And it's reason to be, you know, make sure you're doing it right and all of that. But, um, but, but yes, it was quite, um.   Susan King (00:16:43) - It was it was a challenge and it was long. And I do keep thinking back because last year at this time we were trying to get our the design certification piece is kind of the step where the institute signed off right before you, you know, before you start construction. And we were on while I'm anxious today that our blower that the whole building blower door test is going okay. Um a year ago it was even more.   Sam Wilson (00:17:06) - Even more more angst.   Susan King (00:17:07) - About it like are they going to approve this or are they not going to approve it? Can we get the permit out? Um, you know, is this code going to be adopted? Which it has been. And so that's pretty exciting. And, and I will then say I'll put it in Chicagoan context. So that that had been a big barrier. Our ventilation apparently we are buildings here, we're over over ventilated which of course then takes energy to sure. But if you look at if you go east, interestingly enough, to New York City and Pennsylvania and then the entire state had an initiative and then also Boston did something recently as well all all around passive house.   Susan King (00:17:50) - So to fit into your like they are already scaling passive house up. So I'm anxious for Chicago to catch up with them but because want to say think Boston like did something really radical you could kind of maybe Google it and find it. But I want to say they they built passive house straight into their code, but it might not be exactly that extreme, but it was pretty radical. And so think believe this is the way it's going. We are building differently but think we're actually building the way we're going to build in the future, right?   Sam Wilson (00:18:22) - No, And that's that's it. I mean, yeah, I look at this is obviously I'm not an architect. I'm loosely in, you know, I've owned a way too much real estate. So I see a lot of it. And I've been in the trades. I've had a business in the trades for a long, long time. And you see the way buildings are built, you see the materials being used, you see the the waste, you see the inefficiency in the building.   Sam Wilson (00:18:46) - But it's just the way it is. Like even looking here in Memphis, it's like the housing stock just in the general single family housing. It's just so old. It's so old stuff is just horribly inefficient. And it's like, my goodness, there's got to be a better way than continuing even in the new build stuff. It's just it's still that feels like it's the same. It's just the same product. But. It's going to fall apart faster. So it's like, you know, what are we.   Sam Wilson (00:19:15) - Doing?   Susan King (00:19:15) - Yeah, we should build for length, build for duration, durability, and.   Sam Wilson (00:19:21) - Go ahead.   Sam Wilson (00:19:21) - I'm sorry. Oh, yeah, no problem.   Susan King (00:19:23) - But you just made me think of the other thing. That mean we. We've dabbled in it. But the other big construction change, I would say, is modularity. Right. Mean and or you know, we see a lot of prefab components but but everyone thinks it's like kind of a no brainer that the the solution to the housing crisis is is modular units like why can't we have an apartment come out pretty much built you plug it in.   Susan King (00:19:50) - Right. And at least for whatever reason, it doesn't get off the ground like people try and it dies. And I it's a little bit frustrating to watch but think that's the other thing that that's got to happen.   Sam Wilson (00:20:03) - It's coming It's a it's a slow moving process, but it's certainly coming soon. We got just a couple of minutes here left and I've got one more question, more from a just kind of I going to call it market sentiment, but I really want to hear from you because you guys get kind of a front row seat to all the projects being built around the country to what builders are looking for, what they want to build. Coming to you guys probably saying, Hey, can we even do this? What's the possibility here in all of the housing profiles that you guys work inside of? What's the type or the product that's in most demand for you guys to be architects on and to draw up plans for and. Yeah. What?   Sam Wilson (00:20:45) - Oh, yeah.   Susan King (00:20:47) - Yeah. Good. That's a good question.   Susan King (00:20:50) - Think it's. It's apartments, but think right now. Uh, probably for the next. So things come in cycles, Right? And so I mentioned, um, our firm in our Los Angeles office kind of rode. There was a high rise housing boom there for the past ten years before Covid. And we got to do a lot, a lot of units built a pretty strong portfolio out there. And then, of course, it's on the, you know, you overbuild and then it cycles down. And so out there, we're seeing a lot of the, um, little maybe a little more suburban, less dense, but still probably 3 to 4 stories in height, but a little more sprawling, you know, apartment complexes. Um, in and we didn't, we didn't touch on senior living but think senior living is always in demand and then but there's a new and we we're pursuing a lot of these but we haven't landed anything yet. Um, there's kind of a new category in senior living called It's a terrible name, but it's called Active Active Adults.   Susan King (00:22:00) - But it's really 55 plus apartments but without any kind of medical or nursing. And they don't they're standalone. That's what maybe separates them from the continuum of care life plan, community type campuses that were being done. So I think that's on the I, you know, we're anxious to to have some of that in our portfolio. We don't yet but think it's it's coming and and it's that baby boomer the end of the baby boomer the next generation X guess you know they're like we're healthier we don't we don't consider ourselves seniors don't call us that and active adult probably isn't the right name. But that's somehow what we we've got right now, which can also have issues with with with fair housing and all of that. They have to be careful. But I'm surprised it's lasted as a as a label label.   Sam Wilson (00:22:54) - Right.   Sam Wilson (00:22:55) - That's very, very insightful. Susan, I have loved having you on the show today. Thank you for taking the time to really just break down your journey into becoming an architect, what it takes to become an architect, the types of assets you guys are working on, you know, breaking down this conservatory project with passive house there in Chicago.   Sam Wilson (00:23:15) - I think that's absolutely fascinating. You guys get a front row seat to kind of what is going on in the commercial real estate sectors across the country. So I appreciate you taking the time to come on today and share with us if our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you and your firm, what is the best way to do that?   Susan King (00:23:30) - Um, I'm on LinkedIn, so that's probably, you know, you can Google my, my name with our website is W WW dot design. So. And I'm there too. So head dot design.   Sam Wilson (00:23:48) - Head dot.   Sam Wilson (00:23:49) - Design. We'll make sure we include that there in the show notes. It's a very pretty website. I should expect nothing less from an architecture firm, but yeah, very, very cool. Susan, thank you again for coming on today. I certainly appreciate it.   Susan King (00:23:59) - Okay. Thank you.
