His most recent book, Mission First People Always: The Definitive Guide to Balancing People and Performance, is a practical guide for building dynamic and respectful workplace relationships, while also achieving the loftiest of organizational goals.   Connect with Dr. Mike Patterson: Website: https://www.drmikepatterson.com/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/drmichaellpatterson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michael.l.patterson Twitter: https://twitter.com/drmikepatterson Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFy_1YGmsV-HpoVFoAK5YIg/featured   Grab your copy of Dr. Mike Patterson's Book: Mission First People Always   Nice Sponsors: How to Make Money, Grow Your Tribe, and Build Influencing Podcasting (Doug and Strick will be hosting the Masterclass) https://djdoug--turnkeypodcast.thrivecart.com/register/   Get your free E-Book 5 Ways to Make Money Podcasting at www.Turnkeypodcast.com/gift Check out the "Entrepreneur's Toolkit" Giveaway   Check out Headliner to create social media posts with video easily- make.headliner.app   Simplecast is the easiest way to set up your podcast hosting- Simplecast.com   Zoom is the easiest way to schedule meetings and record your podcast interviews- Zoom.us   Acuity is the easiest way to schedule your podcast interviews, meetings, and life.

Zack Alexander is a Shadow-Work and Men's Coach. He am passionate about helping Men explore the unconscious-self and discovering the mechanisms held within the subconscious that is driving unhealthy behavior and actions which are often rooted in unprocessed childhood wounding.Zack comes from a heavy history of childhood trauma. It resulted in my own struggles around substance abuse, chronic-illness, and severe financial instability. Through working with a gifted talk-therapist, he was eventually able to pull his act together and received a full-scholarship to a top US Law program. Through personally investing in Men's Work containers, Zack reconnected to his Internal Power while also learning how to lead from the heart. It inspired him to devote himself to working one-on-one with Men to help them reclaim their own unique personal embodiment of healthy masculinity. It forced him to look deeper into his own Masculine wounding and how easy it is for Men as a whole to fall into Shadow aspects of the Masculine which can look like ‘Nice Guy Syndrome' or being overly aggressive and emotionally suppressed as well.Zack Alexander InstagramZack Alexander YouTubeZack Alexander TicTocBuilding Men YouTubeBuilding Men FacebookBuilding Men InstagramBuilding Men WebsiteBuildingmencoach@gmail.comBook a free discovery call with Building MenCheck out our sponsors Finish The Race – Home of the official Building Men gearBecome Stronger Industries Please consider giving us a 5-star rating and leaving a review.  If this podcast resonates with you, please share it with anyone you think might benefit from the message.  

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are hot on the trail of crime, corruption, and risqué filmmakers in the 2016 film from Shane Black, The Nice Guys. There's something foul in the air, and it may just be the entire city of Los Angeles. Oh, and also murder. Private eyes Holland March and Jackson Healy are working together on the case. Not because they want to be, but more because coincidental circumstances, and some broken bones, have forced them together. The result is something like what you'd get if you turned Diet Coke and Mentos into a couple of detectives. They're both pretty satisfying (and occasionally inept) apart from each other, but put them together and you've got an explosive combination. Much like all great, pulpy detective stories, this film's got more going on underneath its surface than it seems at first. What starts as an investigation into the apparent suicide of pornstar, Misty Mountains, leads March and Healy into a seedy world of porn producers, corrupt automakers, and murder. Like all amazing Shane Black films, this one's a buddy action-comedy that'll stick with you for a long time. He doesn't have to prove his bona fides to anybody by this point. He's still more than happy to add more excellent storytelling to his already impressive résumé.

The term "toxic masculinity" was original devised by a men's advocate group to describe the way men are raised with a skewed, macho, harmful version of what it means to be a man. However, as a term toxic masculinity has since come to basically mean that it's bad to be masculine in any way. In this podcast we aim to answer two questions: 1) What does "toxic masculinity" mean? What's the definition? 2) Is this term helpful, healthy, and worth using?

A recent Instagram post by multi-hyphenate Amanda Seales triggered the topic for this NEW episode of "Adult-ish": the difference between "nice" and "kind" and host Afiya takes time to evaluate this concept among the adage, "nice guys finish last." In tapping into the overall difference between being a "nice" guy and a "kind" human being, Afiya takes a step further to discuss, how true this cliché is. Are nice guys really finishing last... or is it something much deeper than what's on the surface?With booze in her system from the night before and the morning of, the podcaster rips into the "nice men" who call themselves nice, while really being a fuckboy in a kind man's clothing. Yup, she went there and chose violence.Listen on as she breaks down the nuances of being nice, kind, and a man assuming that being nice should grant him access to panties that don't want quiver for his grubby paws.

This week on On Story we'll join veteran screenwriters Shane Black and Ric Roman Waugh as they discuss what it takes to write and direct a big-budget blockbuster.  Considered one of the pioneer screenwriters of the action genre, Shane Black made his mark with his 1987 screenplay, Lethal Weapon. Black went on to pen the screenplays for such films as Nice Guys, Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, and the latest addition to the Alien vs. Predator franchise: Predator.    Ric Roman Waugh is a former stuntman, director, writer, and producer, known for his work in Felon, Snitch, and Shot Caller. He wrote and directed the third installment of the Has Fallen series, Angel Has Fallen in 2019, and is currently in production of Night Has Fallen, the fourth installment in the series. Moderator Harrison Glaser spoke with Shane and Ric at the Austin Film Festival

Well, it's episode two, and Michelle is already crying, debating whether she should have hopped on this particular train wreck to find love, and I'm not happy about it. There's some weird protective instinct I have when it comes to her, and I'm slowly beginning not to trust any of her cast.  Some Guy in Austin and I dig through the roster to see who is a Chach and who may be worthy of Michelle's time.  Pizza Peter? DEFINITE Chach. Rick? Potential Chach. Jamie? Nice Guy turned Chach. Anyone named Chris: Definite Chach. At some point, we realize it's easier to name the ones who aren't complete jackwagons. Can you guess our number one and our number two guys?  Obviously, Mr. Basketball and Mr. Tall Man are the ones to beat.  Sorry, Rodney. You're my boy, Granny Smith!

In this episode, guest host Kari Hanlin talks with Professor Abigail Cloud, editor of the Mid-American Review, and literary and visual artist Paula J. Lambert. They discuss creative processes in the pandemic, writing as an interdisciplinary practice, and the need for greater diversity in publishing practices.  Announcer: From Bowling Green State University and the Institute for the Study of Culture & Society, this is BG Ideas.Musical Intro:I'm going to show you this with a wonderful experiment.Kari :You're listening to Big Ideas podcast, a collaboration between the Institute for the Study of Culture & Society and The School of Media and Communication at Bowling Green State University.Kari: I am Kari Hanlin, a PhD student in BGSU's rhetoric and writing program, and a graduate assistant for ICS.Kari :Due to the ongoing pandemic, we are not recording in the studio, but remotely via phone and computer. Our sound quality may differ as a result.Kari: As always, the opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of BGSU or its employees. Bowling Green State University campuses are situated in the Great Black Swamp and the lower Great Lakes region. This land is the homeland of the Wyandotte, Kickapoo, Miami, Pottawatomie, Odawa, and multiple other Indigenous tribal nations, present and past, who were forcibly removed to and from the area. We recognize these historical and contemporary ties in our efforts toward de-colonizing history. And we honor the Indigenous individuals and communities who have been living and working on this land from time immemorial.Kari :Today, we are joined by two guests, Professor Abigail Cloud and Paula J. Lambert.Kari :Abby is the editor in chief of the international literary magazine, Mid-American Review, and a teaching professor in the department of English at BGSU. Her poetry has appeared in the Gettysburg Review, the Cincinnati Review, and other literary journals.Kari :Paula J. Lambert is a literary and visual artist who earned her MFA from BGSU. She has authored two full length poetry collections, several chapbooks, and is a recipient of two Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence awards. Paula is also a multidisciplinary artist whose work includes collage, assembly, book arts, and more.Kari :So what I'll ask you to do is introduce yourself and any of the key themes of your work to our listeners. And I'll ask Abby to kick us off.Abby:Absolutely.Abby:So I tend to write quite a bit about signs. I'm into this thing right now where I'm investigating our relationship to signs and how we interpret the world around us. So I'm always really interested in the natural world, interested in the woman body and woman's spirit, and also in the body generally in space and how it relates to space time in its own environment.Kari :And then Paula, how would you describe your work?Paula :I think I focus a lot on the juxtaposition of opposites, I guess, looking for the epiphanic moment, trying to understand how things fit together. A lot of my visual artwork is mixed media and collage. So collage is always bringing disparate images together into this new whole. It's something that presents something brand new. And I think I do that a lot in the poetry too. I'm very much interested in bringing poetry and science together. There are so many paired opposites everywhere. The world is full of joy and terror, and there's a constant work, all through my life certainly, all through our lives. That's where my focus is, I guess.Paula :I don't think I summarized as succinctly as Abbey did, but there you go.Kari: I think you both did great. That idea of the juxtaposition between joy and terror, I think is such a fitting way of interacting in the world right now.Kari :And it actually kind of brings me to my next question for you, Paula, because in September of 2020, you published, How to See the World, which is a poetry collection that considers the loneliness of the pandemic, but also how to seek opportunities for interconnection during this time. So how did you write a poetry collection during a pandemic, I think is maybe my first question?Paula :Well, what's kind of crazy is that I actually signed two book contracts during this pandemic, and I have another coming out in January, and I'm actually probably two thirds of the way through a completely new collection. So it's crazy. But really it's kind of, for me, again, personally, it's natural the way I sort of blossomed during this time period, because I've dealt my entire life with really difficult things, with illness. I always feel like that's just what life is, that's not just what my life has been, that's what life is.Paula :I think a lot of us are really good at turning away from it, pretending it's not there, or just looking for distractions out of it. And I've always turned into those things. I'm always looking for the lesson in those things. My whole life has been that way. My whole life full of therapy has been about exploring all those sort of dark places in hard times to find your way back to wellness, and health, and happiness, and joy.Paula :So this was a time for me of just hunkering down and doing more of that. It's been a teaching moment for me to understand all of my own... I'm going to use the word neurodiversity. That's something I haven't been talking much about yet or writing about yet, but I have a very difficult time with sound, and light, and movement. And there's so much I've realized, my whole life, I've put up walls and barriers to navigate my way through the world and to have the opportunity, and for me, the personal joy of being in one place, and not have it to navigate all that so difficult in the world. And to just process my own inner being. It's been joyous for me. Of course, I've had the same difficulties, grief, everyone else has. But again, I've spent my lifetime sort of navigating grief.Kari :Yeah. And I felt like, as I was checking in on research and seeing what you were up to, it was like a new thing was happening so often. I was like, "Oh, wow." Something I noticed when I was reading through your collection... Which is absolutely stunning. I highly encourage everyone to go out there and get it... is that we have these moments of just stillness and this intimate attention to detail from like sanitizing the fruits in the sink to saving the celery stalks that we would not have saved before this time. And it's interesting in that we are kind of working through this experience with you, but also in reading your work, we're being invited to reflect and also confront our own experiences of that weird, mess of grief, and joy, and everything that has happened in the past year.Paula: I was also interacting with a lot of other people and a lot of other ideas through social media, which, Abby Cloud and her little critters have inspired a couple of poems that are in the book. Actually, when Abby posted on Facebook that she found a dead possum in her garage, and it turned into a poem for me. And her little mouse, Hector. The social media for me, took on a real different... I've always had a love-hate relationship with it. But people were looking for community through Facebook. People were talking about, "My God, I'm having memories I haven't had in years. I'm thinking about foods I haven't eaten since I was a kid." And it was such a relief to me that I was not the only one going through those things.Paula: And especially the early days and weeks of the pandemic, it was a relief to say, "I'm not the only one experiencing these nightmares, or these cravings, or these memories." It seemed to be something collectively we were going through. As much as it is a very interior collection, it's very much about community too.Kari: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I was very excited for the Hector mention. I was reading through it again this morning, I was like, "I know that mouse through Facebook" Abby:I didn't know Hector was in the book. Oh, I didn't see that. I knew about the possum, but yeah, that's funny. Kari :Yeah. Hector gets a shout out.Kari :So Abby, have you been able to write about the pandemic at all, or just found various elements of the social distancing or the isolation kind of affecting your work, whether it's as a poet, an editor, a teacher, et cetera?Abby:So I, habitually now, in order to really get a lot of writing done, I have to leave. So I have a family farm house in Michigan that I go to and I write there. I just write. The need for isolation, the need for quarantining made that a perfectly reasonable thing to do in the middle of the summer. And I had finished a manuscript earlier, I think maybe January of 2020, but after a few months, I wanted to revisit it. So I also wanted to write another sequence of poems to go in. It's a book that touches on a lot of divination, means of divination, some real and some completely made up. And again, it uses a lot of nature, including lepidoptery especially, but then also just other sort of private means of creating meaning.Abby:And so being in the farmhouse really helped me. There are just little signs and signifiers everywhere, like in the basement was a perfect, complete mouse skeleton just out there on the floor. And that really impressed me, it was an image that impressed itself into my brain. That's the type of material that I really needed to use. And being there in the quiet, I'm disconnected, I'm much more in my brain and that's something that I think a lot of people really struggle with, but I do really well with it. So in a way, the quarantine was part of my own artistic process, I guess, being up there. And I've family up there and I only saw them from afar, like from car to porch, because we didn't want to get near each other. And I think there is a lot of silence in these poems that I wrote while I was up there, which is certainly reflective of the time and of the enforced social silence also.Abby:I haven't written anything about the pandemic specifically, but weirdly I do have a few sort of apocalyptic poems that came before the pandemic, that I think will have additional resonance now. I need to kind of revisit them and see if there's anything that I need to add now, since this book will be a significant representation oaf a time period of writing. So I haven't been able to really write at all since then. I haven't been able to get back into that space, but I definitely had at least a chance to really work and deal with the situation that was happening around me, which was important.Paula :I think creatives generally, we're ready for this. I sent an email out, to a wide circle of friends and said, we, by nature, are the ones who can get through these kinds of times. And we, by nature, are the ones who can help translate things for people who are having a far more difficult time. A lot of times, artists, writers, we live in that silence that Abby just described so beautifully there. It's a really wide open space for us that we're sort of used to navigating, and living in, and reveling in. And for a lot of people that kind of silence is really terrifying. It's really scary. So I think, yeah, we were just sort of made for it in a way that a lot of people are just going to have a lot more trouble with. Kari: Yeah. I think that the idea of silence and people who are writers, and artists, and other creators, in general experience, are somehow more able to sit in that and sit in the uncertainty and the confusion, and kind of be like, "Okay, well, now I'll make a thing because it's what I do." And it's certainly something other people on the podcast have actually talked about in our last season was, "Yeah, we went into shutdown in March and I did a bunch of sculpture" was someone else's experience. So I think, yeah, there's a lot of truth there.Paula :And I really think that helps the world all by itself just to sit in the silence with uncertainty. We were able to witness, and sometimes untangle some things even in our own thoughts and minds and memories. And that by itself has value, I think, without even sculpting anything, or writing anything, or building anything. Abby:Yeah, there doesn't need to be a product, even if it's entirely mental, the journey I think is very worthwhile.Kari: Yeah, as I tell my students, "Thinking is writing, thinking is doing that type of work."Kari :So while the pandemic has certainly affected writing processes for both of you, it seems at least, kind of for the better, with all the exciting work that you've already put out or are planning to. It's also significantly impacted the publishing industry.Kari :So, Abby, you're the editor-in-chief for Mid-American Review, or MAR as it's referred to more informally, and MAR is mostly staffed by graduate MFA students and undergraduate interns here at BGSU. So how did the journals operations and processes change due to the pandemic and that kind of quick shift to remote work last March?Abby:It was the most dramatic change you could possibly imagine. I mean, for usual MAR time, we're in the office every day. I'm there. The managing editor is often there. And then our interns, we always have at least two or three interns in, at any given time. And that became absolutely impossible. Our offices are rated for one person, closed door, and no interaction, have to be sterilized. And you cannot do that with the volume of people that we have in and out of that office. And so that in itself was going to be a challenge. And as soon as the university went into the remote capacity, we kind of just set up meetings during the week, like whenever we could meet. We had kind of a regular time for prose and regular time for poetry, which immediately lost us the ability to be together, to have our genres together. And in an MFA program that, that togetherness is really valuable. And we miss out when we can't cross genre lines.Abby: And so in the fall, we had more preparation, but we still were not sure early enough how our class would be, so we had to have split meetings. This semester I've changed it, so that we have a main Zoom meeting each week. We have the introductory stuff that I talk about or teach something and we just have a conversation. And then we split into breakout rooms and that has made it possible for us to do a little bit more together, to have some conversations together. But we're still not in the same room, kind of passing submissions back and forth. And granted, most of our reading is done online anyway through our submissions manager, but we don't have that ability to pause in our reading and have a chat about something.Abby:But, we're not in the office. I get into the office maybe once every three weeks. So we're heavily delayed, but the delay is what hurts me the most, I think. We have our second 40th anniversary issue, which should have gone out last Spring, I have it. It's at the warehouse, but I need to be able to send it safely because we do the mailing ourselves for cost reasons. And I need to be able to do that and get our envelopes printed and everything in a way that's safe.Abby:So dealing with that has been really tricky and it's just struggling with the volume of work and being in front of a screen literally all the time now, it makes it harder to read submissions online. But it's also allowed us some time for planning the ability to sort of look ahead and think about some things that we can do, special projects.Abby:I think looking ahead has been the healthiest, sort of thinking about plans and we're scheduled for in-person in the fall. We'll see how that works, but I'm so excited to get back to that just with people in the same room and being able to collaborate. And then also making the MAR office, it's always been a safe space. It's a safe space. It was for me when I was a grad student too, 20 years ago. I found a home there and I want to make sure that it's a home for other students. And so I need that to come back. I'm ready for that to come back because I know how foundational it was for me. And I think our grad students and our interns both would really benefit from it. Yeah, completely changed our process. Couldn't be different. Couldn't be more different than it is now, but we'll be able to go back. That's the thing. We've improved somethings, but we'll also be able to bring back the things that make us most comfortable. Kari :Yeah.Kari :Okay, so shifting gears a little bit. So, Paula, you're often involved in what seems to be all parts of writing, publishing, and also performing your work. So can you explain a little bit, like why this kind of active engagement and kind of literal embodiment of poetry is important to you, or how you started doing these types Of tasks?Paula: I want to preface what I say by pointing out or reminding people, my MFA is actually in fiction. And so for most of my life, from the time I was a real little kid till about 10 or 12 years ago, prose was just about all that I did. My life was all fiction. I blame George Looney, partly for the fact that I'm a poet today because he kept nagging at me for years and years, "Paula, you're a poet. You're a poet. Will you please put a chapbook together?" And I finally did, and lo and behold, it got taken the first place I sent it.Paula :And then moving to Columbus, well, before I moved here, I taught at Central State University which is an HBCU, but they were very interested in slam, and spoken word, performance poetry. So we had a program there called Rhymes and Beats, Beats and Rhymes, where we had the jazz studies students providing the music backdrop for the poetry and spoken word, that it was just a beautiful program in a beautiful time. And I was co-directing the writing program at the time. We were working on advanced workshops. And Dave Shevon... Who's since passed away, who's also a BGSU alum, who is my dear friend... He helped with designing some of these advanced workshops. And I said, "We have to, have to incorporate performance in here. We have to." Paula: Coming through the MFA program where we still have the readings at Prout Chapel, if you're writing anything at all, poetry or prose, if you're going to be successful at it, if you're going to publish, at some point you're going to go on a book tour. You have to know how to read your work. You just absolutely have to. And it was always really frustrating to me that that was never really taught, not just in our program, but in any program that I knew of at the time. So when we got into these advanced workshops, I said we have to bring in performance when we do this. And we were able to. So I've worked really hard to bring poetry into places and venues that will surprise people, that bring poetry to people who don't normally read poetry.Paula :I started a series that was at an observatory. It was a celebration of The Nice Guy. And the director at the time, Tom Burns, was really receptive to that because he was an English professor and amateur astronomer, and he was really grateful. He said we need people who can articulate. There are people who can sort of diagram the science of it. But we need people who can articulate the wonder of it, and the beauty of it. And things need to be brought together like that. People need to be excited about all of what poetry is, and all of what it can do. And it's not even all that separate from the story writing that I did for so long and I insisted I was a fiction writer, not a poet. I just insisted on that for years. But poetry does tell stories. Of course, it does. It's just another way of sharing stories and experiences. And we all need that. We all need that just desperately. Stories need to be told, man.Kari :Yeah, absolutely.Kari :So with that, we're going to take a quick break. Thank you for listening to Big Ideas podcast.Announcer:If you are passionate about Big Ideas, consider sponsoring this program. To have your name or organization mentioned here, please contact us at ics@bgsu.edu.Kari:Hello, and welcome back to the BG Ideas podcast.Kari :Today, I'm talking to Abby Cloud and Paula Lambert about all things poetry during the pandemic.Kari :So as we kind of come back from the break and start turning outward beyond individual practices and experiences, it's worth thinking about how the pandemic has both deepened and exposed issues of racial inequality of the United States. And an ongoing issue in the publishing industry, of course, is the overwhelming whiteness of authors and editorial staff. And the industry, as a whole, was found in 2020 to be about nearly 80% white. Conversations around diversity are happening and need to be happening throughout the industry. So this is a question for both of you, what can or should editors of smaller presses and journals do to make publishing more inclusive for writers as well as with staff?Abby:There are so many presses that I admire are doing. One example is Milkweed that has a fellowship to learn more about the industry. And it's very explicit, like this is open to all, but we have a special interest in authors who would otherwise not have these opportunities to work with the press, which includes BIPOC authors, LGBTQ+ authors, and any disability that is frequently disadvantaged. That's just one really great example of that. I think other presses can follow.Abby:The staff question is really difficult because, typically with journals associated with universities, you have, as your staff pool, the students that your university draws. So then it becomes not so much an issue entirely on the journal, but also the issue of your program. And if your program was not attracting candidates of color, or writers of disabilities, or other areas, then you have some thinking to do. You have to figure out how you can change that perception. Certainly faculty of color, like universities have a really hard time, for some reason, understanding how to attract but also retain faculty of color. I think part of it is stuff gets dumped on them all the time, not just aggressions or microaggressions, but also when they know there are like these specific disabled faculty members, those faculty members are always the ones that are going to fill the quota, so to speak, on a university committee.Abby:So like we have a Diversity and Inclusion Committee, we have one in our department, but there's also university one, and it can't just be the same people all the time who are having to fill all of these roles for a university service that counts toward merit, or annual evaluations, or whatever. So I think looking really carefully at the practices of how committees are filled, how you are working with faculty who may be on the receiving end of these extra burdens, like how are we working with those folks and uplifting them, and pushing their voices forward?Abby:I always look at Mid-American Reviews, the VIDA counts that are done, we kind of do our own. But they've been working on an intersectional survey also in the past couple of years, and I'm really anxious to work on that especially because we do also attract predominantly white writers, I think. We do fairly well, I think, with disability and with LGBTQ+ writers, and with staff in those areas. But we definitely need to work on our racial diversity and that's something I'm thinking about literally all the time, and we can do better, and we have to do better.Paula :I would just say, people need to read as widely as possible and listen to as many voices as possible. And my emphasis might be a little bit more on listening because I attend so many open mic shows and so many featured readings. In Columbus, we're really lucky here that there are almost every night... Well, during normal times... almost every night of the week, there's an open mic show somewhere in town that may have featured readers, that may have slams. I worked hard to go to as many of those as I could. You sort of settle into the ones where you feel most comfortable, but it's really important to hear as many voices, to seek that out.Paula: And I think maybe because of my own experiences, having worked at and taught at an HBCU, and even before that, when I worked in the south, taught in rural community colleges, where I had a majority of African-American students, but I became really, really sensitized to going other places, off-campus, where it began to be shocking to me how many places are so white and have so few people of color in the room. And I've observed that so many places where my mind immediately was saying, "Why aren't people either, A, invited to be here, or why aren't they comfortable coming here?" Because it really makes no sense that for this particular activity, whatever it was, it doesn't make sense that this population is here given the general population of the university, the general population of the community. It doesn't make sense that there are so many white people here. Even though a lot of it, I'm sure, was implicit and unintended, or whatever, but that's a bigger problem.Paula :So when I started organizing myself, for a while, I co-hosted an open mic show here in Columbus. And then later, through the press, started hosting, and organizing, and supporting bigger events. And I was very conscious of that, of making sure that there was a balance of readers and voices there, very, very conscious of that. But it wasn't difficult for me to do either because I've been listening to so many voices, and seeking them out, and loving them. And these were, my friends, my colleagues, the people I hang out with normally, the people I read, the people I listen to. And so I had that sort of community of people to draw from and to invite in. If you're not already listening to them... Just listening to people, and you get a sense of just a wide range of voices, and experiences, and pain, and loss, and grief, and struggle, and beauty, and joy.Paula :And if you're listening to that and looking forward in your own personal day to day life, I think it's going to naturally translate. If you just pay attention, it becomes sort of a natural thing, I think, in my experience.Kari: And I think something maybe like, as we head towards a conclusion of our conversation here, is that idea of intentionality that you both mentioned, whether that's the presses and journals themselves and the university affiliations being able to seriously take a hard look, and understand, and question, and critique themselves for what is and isn't in the room, and what's being privileged. As well as even as individuals, such as myself and people who are listening, are we being intentional in the books we read? Are we being intentional in the experiences that we're choosing to read about?Abby:Yeah. And even just simple things like recommendations. I've read some literature from various BIPOC authors in the last year or two, and that has completely changed what I'm recommending to my students. I love the science fiction and fantasy world, and yet, somehow I never heard about Octavia Butler until much more recently than I'd care to admit. And that kind of shocked me when Idid learn about her and her work. I was like, "Why? Why did this never reach my eyeballs before this?" And I think we can be alert to that in our own choices, as you say, and we can then pass those choices onward and make sure that those things that we missed out on, are not further missed out on. You have to kind of create a cycle that perpetuates itself.Kari :So as a final question, as much as I hate to wrap up our conversation, I think many creative writers, and I'm including myself in this, regardless of genre, have heard that writing and reading is a way of escaping the world. And I think poetry as well as prose, but particularly poetry, has a rich history of being a tool that can critique in destabilizing existing patriarchal and inequitable structures like we've been talking about. So it's a big question, but I would like to conclude today's conversation by asking both of you, how you understand poetry as a means of engaging with the world?Paula :Growing up for me, I think reading... I've always been a voracious reader, and I was terribly introverted as a young person. For me, it was a way to escape the world, but it was also a way of experiencing the world, of experiencing other places, other people, other voices. So in as much as it was escape, I was also learning an awful lot about the world. My husband and I were just discussing this the other day because I was telling him, "Oh, I just finished this poem, and man, it was so great to figure out what it was I was trying to write about." And he started laughing and he said, "That's what it is for you, isn't it?" He said, "The poetry helps you figure things out." Yeah, I think it is the way I experience the world.Paula :When I take things that I can't understand, or I can't figure out, or I don't understand why things are the way they are, or sometimes I just... There's a poem in my book about the spring ants... And it's just, yeah, you can look at them and observe them. But, for me, sometimes there's just these little things that carry a numinous quality. There's something else here, there's something bigger. And just trying to figure that out. I've always worked to figure out the world through writing, and writing is what always brings me my peace of mind. Always. Always. Always. It helps me figure things out. It helps me realize, "Oh, here's how things work. Oh, here's why that moment that seems so ordinary, really was so beautiful."Abby:I mean, I take almost a completely opposite approach, not in the the meaning and the actual sort of result, but writing for me is very painful, and not because of the subject matter. It makes me very restless. I'm a terrible person to be around when I'm writing. It's part of the reason I have to go away. And so writing for me is more about finding ways to speak what it's already in my head, like what I've already discovered into the air, like finding a way then to pin it down. Again, it's very similar to lepidoptery, it's weird how it all kind of tumbles together, but actually pinning down that meaning and pinning down the thought.Abby:And it's been sort of more of a recent thing where even when I'm writing about nature, or about ballet, or whatever, it's still making statements. So, for example, my first book, Sylph, is totally structured around the romantic ballets of the late 1800s. I mean, they're very binary. Almost all of them include some sort of what they call a black act by a man. So, Giselle is betrayed by Albrecht, just for example, or the Sylph is betrayed by James. Like there's always this act of betrayal of a man against a woman, often with deadly consequences. And having written those poems and looking back on them now, I'm just like, yeah, this was me dealing with the patriarchy in a big way, like understanding how these things happened and what those ballets actually say about our relationships. And there's been a lot of effort to sort of queer the ballet world lately, to deal with this heavy patriarchy in that universe.Abby:I feel like if I'm reading poetry, I'm reading someone's conception of the world at that moment. And even if it's just in the undercurrents and not overt. Just listened to Camille T. Dungy speak last night about this, about the need for biodiversity in literature the same way as we have in life, like healthiest environment is a biodiverse one and we need that in literature also. I think it's crucial. I think poetry's engagement with the world is crucial and it's important that we recognize that that's what it is. It's how we meet the world and what we do with it, whether our reactions are similar or not, that relationship is of utmost importance to what we do, which I think is why, going back to what we were talking about earlier, that's why poetry can co-mingle with science, and with math, and with dance, and with all of the other fields. We have to have that cross discipline because, again, that's how we create the biodiversity of literature. And I want to see that continue in a more holistic way.Kari :So thank you so much for joining us today, Abby and Paula.

Nothing is more destructive than working yourself to death in an unfulfilling 9-5 job simply because you think you have to. In this episode, Dan covers his theory about a conspiracy designed to control the masses into mind-numbing modern-day slavery. Some quotes from the episode: “I can't think of a belief system that hurts the individual more than looking around and asking ‘What's everyone else doing? That must be the right thing to do?'” There's a huge mass of unsuccessful people, and you look around at them and go “I guess that's what should be doing”? That doesn't make sense' Right now, there are government employees all around the world having meetings specifically to figure out how to waste the extra money you paid in taxes so that they can justify asking for that amount again. You get to Friday and think “Oh thank god, now I can just throw my money away on emotionally numbing activities and substances” and then you have to go back to work on Monday. Why is alcohol the only legal drug even though it's one of the most harmful? Because alcohol does something the other drugs don't do: it tranquilises you, and it tires you out. And I can't think of a more perfect drug to keep this system going. You're the one providing the value, and yet your employer is the one getting paid. The idea that what you're interested in can't make money or wouldn't be enjoyable [as a profession] is complete and utter bollocks. I can think of the most ridiculous things that make money just because someone gave it a go. --------- Get Dan Munro's latest book “THE NAKED TRUTH: Using Powerful Honesty to Enhance Your Confidence, Connections and Integrity”: https://www.brojo.org/pub/the-naked-truth-honesty-confidence-connections-integrity If you enjoyed this video, get access to more of BROJO's content and dozens of confidence-building online courses by joining today.

Real prophets are not always nice people. As I read the Bible, I sometimes think that the prophets are like tools in God’s toolbox—when he wants a hammer, he picks up a prophet that’s sort of like a hammer; when he wants a wrench he picks a tool that is most like a wrench. Now, tools are not naturally beautiful—they have a utilitarian beauty, but they are not works of art. And I would have to confess, neither were the prophets works of art.Elijah was a hairy man who wore leather. He was blunt to the point of rudeness. And one suspects that God chose him because his appearance and his manner fit the message he intended to send. He had no desire to send along Mr. Nice Guy, he wanted the whole package—appearance, voice, sound, manner, style of presentation, and dress—to all go together with the message. It’s hard to imagine a prophet riding up on a motorcycle, looking like a Hell’s Angel; but you put Elijah in the clothes, and set him on a Harley Davidson, and he would probably look like one of the gang (minus the tattoos). Elijah was probably an intimidating personality. (Now that I think about it, if he was living today he might even have had the tattoos.)When you understand this, it is just as hard to imagine a prophet in a tailor-made suit, smelling of manly cologne. They’re human and they fit what God wants them to do. Real prophets are not always strong people. Whatever strength they have comes from God, and when he is not there they can be just as frightened as anybody else. Elijah called down fire from heaven. But a few days after that, he was fleeing for his life from a woman named Jezebel. He had absolute faith that God would answer his request for fire, but later was so discouraged that he asked God to take away his life.Real prophets can also make a mess of things—they can sin; they can set a bad example. It’s important to remember that prophets are not leaders, they are messengers. And there’s another thing: they are usually not insiders. If fact, one of the very early prophets was not even an Israelite. His name was Balaam, and he is a curious case. We’ll begin his story in Numbers, chapter 22.
