Quran class Sunday Session 9 Surah 23 v31-38 Prophet Salih (as) ibn Obaid ibn Asf ibn Masikh ibn Obaid ibn Khadar ibn Thamud ibn Jathir ibn Iram ibn Shem ibn Prophet Nuh (as). Salih (as) light skinned, lark hair, similar to Prophet Isa (as), walked barefoot and did not use perfume, his right hand had a mole. The Chiefs of Thmud say to Salih (as), you are no more than a man like us... Surah 23 v 33. The danger of making this kind statement about The Prophets. The ignorant say, There is nothing but our life and only time destrys, Surah 45 v24.

Our Main Event this week is a trip to the Glenstone Museum in North Potomac, MD with my friend EZZAT SALEH OBAID, a DC area based Photographer, Filmmaker, and Coffee Maker. We talk about the creation of community through art, being an outsider, Punk Music in 80s & 90s DC, and the power of metaphor. And we journey to Glenstone - a beautiful and uneasy fortress of art, and incredible juxtaposition of peaceful nature with brutalist bricks. Glenstone is a combination Museum, Arts Installation, Sculpture Garden, and Gallery centered inside a compound that has to be seen to believed. The whole experience is a vibe that blends natural serenity with an ominous tension, and themes of confinement, surveillance, and defense. And we have our very first Existential Question of the week. Pro Wrestlers ISAIAH FRAZIER, SAGE MATTHEWS, and THE BOAR each make their Collected Possibilities debut to share what keeps them up at night, as they answer "What do you fear?" Is Glenstone something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!

On the last episode of Season 1, we broke our rule. We had ONE rule and it only took 13 episodes to break it: No guests, just unscripted conversations. Well, we broke the first part, but there was still absolutely no script or pre-conceived questions coming into this episode and the resulting learnings were pretty incredible. We broke our rule because we wanted to talk about building a media company in B2B and that conversation couldn't possibly be complete with the one and only "Mr. B2Beast", Will Aitken. We're talking How to build a media company, content creation tips, how to build content that connects with the audience, how to come up with ideas, some straight facts about B2B alien encounters, and some other random sh*t that just makes sense if you're trying to build a media company with your content. Listen to it. You'll be glad you did. Then shoot Todd and Obaid a DM telling us if you want more guests or not.
2022 is almost over, and many B2B companies have either transitioned to a buyer-centric, demand generation strategy, or want to. We're also now beginning to consider things like memorable experiences in marketing, creative concepts, substance and delivery, and more. However, though this is a welcome evolution of marketing and content creation, it shines a light on a major problem: We're trying to power 2022 marketing playbooks with 1990s sales engines. How disappointing is it when the experience you get before you decide to buy doesn't align with the actual buying experience? It sucks! Here's Obaid and Todd's answer to "how do you apply memorable experiences to the sales process?" Follow Todd & Follow Obaid
Generic content gets tons of engagement. It does so because anyone, no matter their expertise can relate to it. But should generic content play a role in your content strategy? Maybe. Maybe not. "Create content that stands out in a sea of sameness" "Make your marketing team a media company" "Humanize your content" All of these are common pieces of advice that we hear all the time and neither is inherently bad. In fact, at face value, they both sound like good advice. But they both share something in common—they both lack any context. What does "turn your marketing team into a media company" really mean? As marketers, we like to overcomplicate things and that's exactly what Obaid did when he was interpreting that same generic piece of advice. So if you truly want to "create content that stands out in a sea of sameness," do it by providing the context needed for your audience to understand what your point of view.
The question that marketers have feared for years: Yeah, but how are we going to promote the content? The old answer was: Step 1: Put it in an ebook Step 2: Send it to our email list Step 3: Create an ad that sends new people to a landing page so we can get them in a nurture sequence. Step 4: Repeats from step one until they hit a lead score and can be sent to sales. In this episode we talk about the new way, how to find a company where you can implement the new way, and how to approach the interview to insure there are no red flags. Join the Discord group and our weekly meetup: https://discord.gg/WqaNskUn
Most B2B communities are filled with people that had high hopes when they joined, but 20 minutes after signing up, they never come back. In this episode Todd and Obaid talk about building communities (or groups) that people make checking part of their daily routine. Speaking of which, we just launched a new community for gamers who happen to do marketing or sales during the day. Join the Discord group and our weekly meetup: https://discord.gg/WqaNskUn

This summer we are collaborating with Dr. Xiumei Pu in her Project, "Mountains and Stories: Building Community Among Asian and Pacific Islander Refugee and Immigrant Families in Salt Lake Valley," with the support of a Whiting Public Engagement Programs Seed Grant (https://www.whiting.org/scholars/public-engagement-programs/about). Anchored in the theme of mountains, the project consists of a twelve-part podcast, a documentary, and a series of story tellling events, the next of which will be a group hike in the Wasatch Mountains (October 23, 2021). It is our hope that these efforts will amplify the environmental voices of Asian and Pacific Islander refugee and immigrant communities, and spark more public interest in thinking about the connection between culture, identity, and the natural environment. You can listen to previous episodes here (https://podcast.mountainresearch.org/) on the IMR Podcast website. At the heart of the project is a podcast series featuring the life and work of twelve storytellers who come from a range of age groups, occupations, and ethnic and racial backgrounds. Some of them are born in the United States; many of them are born in another Asian country or Pacific Island and immigrated to the US at a young age. Their stories show fascinating complexities of immigration routes and histories, incredible cultural richness and resilience, and long-lasting contributions of the Asian and Asian Pacific Islander communities to the social life and cultural landscapes of Salt Lake Valley and the broader Utah.

Obaid Barakzai is originally from Kabul, Afghanistan. He is Afghan by nationality, Pashtun by ethnicity, and a mountaineer by heart. He has a special profound connection with the mountains in Utah because they remind him of home. He is now a rising senior studying International Political Economy (IPE) with Honors at Westminster College. He has been passionately involved on campus, including as Student Body President for the 2020-2021 school academic year. He is passionate about equity and inclusion efforts on campus and beyond and loves mountaineering, learning languages, and making all kinds of tea. Jeff Nichols and Brent Olson co-direct the Institute for Mountain Research (http://mountainresearch.org) and our 2018-2019 Mountain Fellows are Katie Saad and Naomi Shapiro. Our theme song is “Home” by Pixie and the Partygrass Boys. (https://www.pixieandthepartygrassboys.com). As Naomi likes to say, “They are awesome and you should check them out.” The Institute for Mountain Research is located on the ancestral and traditional lands of the Ute, Goshute, and Shoshone Peoples. Special Guest: Obaid Barakzai.
This week co-host W.F. Twyman, Jr. and I speak with Obaid Omer, host of the podcast Dangerous Speech. Can we have honest and authentic discussions in a time where some speech is considered off-limits? Wink, Obaid and I discuss what topics are off-limits, cultural allegiance and destruction, identity politics, and how and if we can move beyond the current cultural dogma that separates us. All discussed with a chaser of civility, of course, and a shot of peanut butter whiskey in my coffee. To read a recap of the conversation and additional thoughts, and to see what we are each reading, visit our post Dangerous Speech on the Hold my Drink website. You can also watch the conversation on the Hold my Drink YouTube page.
Keri and Carter interview Obaid Omer, host of the Dangerous Speech podcast, on everything from free speech to Internet libraries to Islam. You can follow Obaid on Twitter at: @obaidomer And you can hear the Dangerous Speech podcast on Soundcloud at: https://soundcloud.com/obaid-omer About Deprogrammed Hosted by former SJW Keri Smith, "Deprogrammed" is dedicated to unravelling Keri's former ideology. We'll explore the philosophy, strategy, and tactics that intersectional ideologues use to program "Social Justice Warriors," turning otherwise thoughtful, critically-minded individuals into armies of extreme leftist NPCs. Some episodes are interviews with special guests, and others are deep-dives into a different aspect of "social justice" culture, drawing both from Keri's personal experience as well as current events.
