In this episode, we sit down with Jon Urbanski, an accomplished golf course superintendent, to discuss his impressive career journey, insights on team culture and leadership, and his unique experience hosting the 2022 BMW Championship at Wilmington Country Club. Jon shares how he went from considering a career as a math teacher to finding his passion in the golf industry. We discuss his journey from a summer crew member to one of the industry's top superintendents, highlighting his passion, service and commitment to building a strong team. Building Team Culture He reflects on the importance of building a positive team culture by fostering open communication, offering growth opportunities, and supporting work-life balance. Jon's leadership approach focuses on being a coach and cheerleader to his team, creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Foster open communication and build genuine connections to create a supportive team culture.Encourage work-life balance and provide growth opportunities, such as conferences, to boost team loyalty and inspire continuous development. A Career Highlight Hosting a major event like the BMW Championship was a career highlight, where he experienced the payoff of years of preparation alongside his team and volunteers. He emphasizes how rewarding it was to involve his family in the week's events and the pride he felt as his club and community embraced the tournament. Jon also dives into his industry involvement, including his role as past president of the Philadelphia Association of Golf Course Superintendents. He advocates for more superintendent presence at golf events and highlights the value of networking, volunteering, and giving back to the industry. Tune in to hear Jon's inspiring story, his thoughtful approach to leadership, and what's next as he continues to make an impact on the golf industry! Soundbytes "I firmly believe that some of the best moments for building team success happen in those hours and minutes before or after the workday, when we're just sitting around in the conference room and having casual conversations. Those moments are crucial for creating team cohesion and solidarity. But I also believe in encouraging everyone to get out, enjoy themselves, and spend time with their families. The golf course will still be here."01:30 "I think it really comes down to seeing others succeed. When people thrive in our program here, it's a win for Wilmington Country Club and strengthens our future. This success helps us recruit new talent, as we want people to come here, get trained, and eventually move on to their own roles—whether as superintendents, in horticulture, or in arboriculture. We truly strive to support that growth." 11:40 Quotes "Timing is everything; it's important to approach feedback thoughtfully, asking questions to understand someone's thought process rather than jumping right in." "I admire those who volunteer nationally with organizations like GCSAA or PGA; they dedicate so much time away from work and family to support our industry." "It's fantastic to see golf professionals, superintendents, and managers featured on broadcasts—our service industry deserves that spotlight." "I find social media incredibly useful, especially 'Turf Twitter,' for tips and team discussions—used correctly, it's a valuable tool."

How does resolving inner conflicts enhance external relations? Conflict, both inner and outer, is a fundamental part of the human experience. We engage in conflicts externally with others and internally within ourselves, reflecting the complex nature of human relationships and the psyche. Our external conflicts often mirror internal struggles, serving as manifestations of unresolved or unacknowledged inner turmoil. Recognizing the projection of our inner conflicts onto external situations can lead to deeper self-awareness and understanding. Delving into inner conflict necessitates introspection and the willingness to confront uncomfortable aspects of ourselves. This involves exploring our desires, fears, and contradictions to gain insight into our true motivations and feelings. Experiencing ambivalence—holding conflicting desires or feelings simultaneously—signals the presence of inner conflict. Acknowledging and exploring this ambivalence can be a path to understanding and resolving internal struggles. Projecting our inner conflicts onto others can obscure their true source, leading to misunderstandings and unnecessary external conflicts. Recognizing projection as a defense mechanism allows us to address the root causes of our struggles. Engaging with and working through inner conflicts can lead to significant personal growth and development. This process can enhance our relationships, increase our self-acceptance, and contribute to a more balanced and fulfilling life. Cultivating self-awareness is essential for effectively navigating both external disagreements and internal dilemmas. Understanding our own part in conflicts enables us to approach them with greater empathy and insight. By resolving our inner conflicts, we can improve our external relationships. A clearer understanding of our inner selves allows for more authentic and harmonious interactions with others. The process of understanding and resolving inner conflicts is ongoing. As we grow and change, new layers of the Self emerge, requiring continuous exploration and integration. Prepare to discover…who explores inner and outer conflicts, including Carl Jung's insights; when inner conflicts require deeper introspection across one's life stages; how inner conflicts are projected externally and the importance of self-awareness; what differentiates inner from outer conflicts, focusing on personal struggles with ambivalence; where conflicts appear, in relationships and within, showing the interplay between internal and external worlds; whether conflicts are internal or external, underlining the need for introspection; which methods, like Jungian analysis, help resolve conflicts for growth and better relationships; why confronting inner conflict is key to a balanced life and transformative for self and relations…and so much more.

Jung's concept of the collective unconscious emphasized the universal psychological substrate common to all humans. While he acknowledged the effects of the cultural unconscious, his work, at times, fell into the trap of perpetuating oversimplified and racially prejudiced stereotypes. Jung's writings that refer to Africanist peoples, in particular, suffer from offensive assumptions. Dr. Fanny Brewster, Jungian analyst and author, searches for the healing cultural elements in the dreams of the African diaspora. Dreams have always been important in traditional African cultures. In Zimbabwe, the traditional healer, or sangoma, is called to the work by a dream that features a snake. For the Xhosa, dreams were how the ancestors communicated their wisdom. Today, most of us are cut off from our ancestors, but they remain a potential source of strength and healing. Dr. Brewster has undertaken the work of renewing and widening Jungian thought to include Africanist perspectives. She addresses the importance of community as we go about the necessary work of evolving consciousness. Fanny Brewster, Ph.D., M.F.A. is a Jungian analyst, Professor of Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, and member analyst with the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts. She is a multi-genre writer who has written about issues at the intersection of Jungian psychology and American culture. Her most recent book is The Racial Complex: A Jungian Perspective on Culture and Race. (Routledge, 2019).

The essence of friendship is found in its linguistic root: ‘to love.' Cicero wrote, “Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief." In modern times the art of friending seems lost. We have replaced shared experiences with Facebook posts and quell our loneliness by scrolling. With high spirits, we three revisit our first meeting and reflect on the discovery of kinship between us. Our experiences of trust, reciprocity, and shared hardship marked by endless conversations and abundant laughter forged our bond during analytic training. Yet it reflects more than our shared life; friendship is archetypal.  Vigorous bonding is mysterious. It emerges unexpectedly and carries aspects of positive and negative shadow. This tension seemed evident in Jung and Freud's famous friendship. Their instantaneous bond led to thirteen hours of conversation at their first meeting. It would end six years later, leaving Jung devastated and struggling with overwhelming inner states. The story of Rumi's first meeting with Shams, which led to thirty days of deep conversation, carries a similar passion. Rumi lost Shams to death, Jung lost Freud to his struggle for autonomy. Both found solace in the inner world where the image of the friend merged with its archetype – Shams image carried Rumi's love for the divine, and Philemon image carried Jung's love of wisdom. For us three, the essence of lasting friendship lies in tending mutual creative purposes. Aligning with common goals allows most friendships to flourish and impact the world positively. It's not enough to recognize we like someone; that's just the beginning. We must learn to nurture the bonds that make us more than we were alone.   HERE'S THE DREAM WE ANALYZE: “There is a vast plane with a deep, wide, and steep hole. From the center of this deep pit, a high tower stands. A figure physically throws me across the expanse to the tower, where I am suspended against the building. The perspective stays with the figure who is wearing a black cloak that covers their form. Their arms, legs, face, and skin are under the black cloak. There are two white marks on the fabric denoting eyes, but they aren't actual eye holes like a mask. They slowly turn and walk off after I've been thrown. The dream repeats the throwing, but the perspective follows me across the expanse. The thread I am suspended from is a single piece of spider silk. Where I am hanging, I am face to face with a guardian of the tower. It is an anthropomorphic lizard, light green, wearing golden armor. It raises its sword, and instead of attacking me, it cuts the silk thread, and I fall quickly but safely. I notice open windows one could sneak into on my way down. Safely reaching the base of the tower, facing underneath where the cloaked figure and I were, I see a large tunnel and know I need to enter. I begin to walk towards it when I awake.” Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts, ADVANCED CLINICAL PRACTICE PROGRAM: A case seminar for experienced clinicians to read, explore and apply Jung's concepts to clinical practice:  CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION INTERESTED IN A SERIOUS STUDY OF JUNG?  Enroll in the PHILADELPHIA JUNGIAN SEMINAR and start your journey.

Imposter syndrome constellates the gut-wrenching fear of being exposed as a fraud no matter how much we have learned or the successes we have demonstrated. In 1978 two researchers identified and explored a painful phenomenon among some high-achieving women. Despite their high levels of success, they were convinced they were not as competent, intelligent, or skilled as others might think. Instead of identifying with their capabilities, they often attributed their success to luck, personal persuasion, or an unanticipated burst of energy. Further research revealed this struggle was equally distributed among men and women. Some common elements were identified: Perfectionism: they often set remarkably high expectations for themselves and over-emphasized any slight mistake, disturbing their sense of competence. Overworking: to hide their perceived deficiencies, they often worked harder and put in excessively long hours. This was done to prevent others from discovering their alleged incompetence. Rejecting praise: they frequently discounted their successes which interfered with their ability to internalize their accomplishments despite ample proof of their abilities. They would brush off compliments and attribute talents to external factors. Undermining achievements: they thought they had managed to deceive others into seeing them as more intelligent and capable than they believed themselves to be. Their avoidance of acknowledgment deflected proper credit for work they had rightly generated. Fear of failure: they would excessively monitor for any evidence of failure, fearing that acknowledgment would expose them as cons. Imposter syndrome has subtle intrapsychic dynamics. Its underlying inferiority complex is obscure and often based on early life experiences. It is natural for children to feel vulnerable and less capable than the adults around them; this usually motivates them to grow and develop competencies. They may fail to identify with their own agency if their efforts are scorned, ignored, or grossly mischaracterized. When these negative experiences are internalized, the relationship between their actions and results is fragmented. Interference between the child's mobilized intentions and the visible outcomes they generate constellates a field of unknowing that leaves them anxious and unsure. To compensate for feelings of anxiety and vulnerability, they can become overly ambitious, perfectionistic, and aggressive, striving for power and control. Unconsciously, they are simply trying to claim and internalize what they have legitimately created. The chronic interference with their natural capacity to place themselves accurately in the world can extend into many domains of life. Healing from imposter syndrome begins with confessing their fears of exposure and accusation. They have desperately hidden the secret that they do not belong in the life they have created. Once they share the depth of their alienation, a new narrative can begin that includes being seen by another—through that, they can finally see themselves.

What might've once been a niche digital term has been legitimized in the discourse of presidents, politicians, and lawmakers. But what really is cancel culture? Blacklisting celebrities? Censorship? Until now, this has been the general consensus in the media. But it's time to raise the bar on our definition— to think of cancel culture less as scandal or suppression, and more as an essential means of democratic expression and accountability.The Case for Cancel Culture does just that. This cultural critique from 2023 Philly News Award-Winning journalist Ernest Owens offers a fresh progressive lens in favor of cancel culture as a tool for activism and change. Using examples from politics, pop culture, and his own personal experience, Owens helps readers reflect on and learn the long history of canceling (spoiler: the Boston Tea Party was cancel culture); how the left and right uniquely equip it as part of their political toolkits; how intersections of society wield it for justice; and ultimately how it levels the playing field for the everyday person's voice to matter.Why should we care? Because in a world where protest and free speech are being challenged by the most powerful institutions, those without power deserve to understand the nuance and importance of this democratic tool available to them. Readers will walk away from this first-of-its-kind exploration not despising cancel culture but embracing it as a form of democratic expression that's always been leading the charge in liberating us all.Ernest Owens (he/him) is an award-winning journalist and CEO of Ernest Media Empire, LLC.

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. Can archetypes be modeled, analyzed, and applied in support of national security? During this episode, Joseph Lee discusses Carl Jung, collective consciousness, and archetypes. Our wide ranging discussion covers a comparison between Jung and Freud, Joseph Campbell's work on myth and the hero's journey, the Marvel universe as a modern day collection of stories about gods, the power of rituals, and archetype emergence. Here is the story Joseph shared towards the end of the discussion:  Max Zeller's dream. A psychoanalyst living in California, Zeller had become troubled by his work after World War II, for he worked with relatively few individuals while the world remained in turmoil. So he went to Europe to meet with Jung and had this dream: “A temple of vast dimensions was in the process of being built. As far as I could see—ahead, behind, right and left—there were incredible numbers of people building on gigantic pillars. I, too, was building on a pillar. The whole building process was in its very first beginnings, but the foundation was already there, the rest of the building was starting to go up, and I and many others were working on it. Jung said, ‘Ja, you know, that is the temple we all build on. We don't know the people because, believe me, they build in India and China and in Russia and all over the world…You know how long it will take until it is built?' And when Max Zeller asked how long, Jung said, ‘About six hundred years.' Max Zeller ended by saying, ‘That is what happens in our work…We see it every day…Each person works on his own pillar, until one day the temple will be built.'” Resources: Cognitive Crucible Podcast Episodes Mentioned #77 Paul Lopata on Quantum The Jungian Life Podcast Episode 179: The Archetype of War Joseph R.

Speaking to the Pharmacy Podcast Network, Dr. Marion Mass, a pediatrician, patient advocate and founding member of the Practicing Physicians of America, spoke about the original intent of PBMs, which started in 1968, and what they've become today. “PBMs were created with the vision that they would act like giant drug-buying networks, with their buying power cutting health care costs and consumers realizing the savings in the end. However, through consolidation, three companies now control 90 percent of the market,” she said. Dr. Mass further explained, “This unhealthy market share has led to an unhealthy control over formularies,” which can cause life-and-death situations for her young patients. “Patients are at risk of death or harm when drugs such as chemotherapies, antibiotics, epinephrine and anesthetics are not available.” Pharm D Mel Brodsky, executive director of the Philadelphia Association of Retail Druggists and former CEO of the Keystone Purchasing Alliance, explained, “This outsized market share takes advantage of drug manufacturers, pharmacists and, most importantly, patients. The result is a net negative for all parties except for the large PBMs.” In his estimation, the net result of this imbalance “has led to an erosion of the doctor-patient relationship and a decimation of Main Street pharmacists throughout the nation.” “With the current system in place, independent pharmacists are being squeezed to the point that many jump when the large groups offer to buy them out. With the depletion of community pharmacists comes the loss of personal touch and a watered-down version of health care to patients,” Brodsky said.  Both participants agreed that action must be taken on the federal level, citing Pennsylvania Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey's abilities to rein in the large PBM market imbalance. Our Guests:  Dr. Marion Mass. Dr. Mass is a pediatrician in the Philadelphia suburbs. She received her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine and has been in practice for more than 20 years. She is the co-founder of Practicing Physicians of America - and leadership in the Free2Care coalition-a consortium of grassroots physician advocacy groups that believe that the key to good care starts with the relationship between a patient and their doctor. She sits on the editorial board of the Bucks County Courier, Times and is a member of the Bucks County Health Improvement Partnership. Mr. Mel Brodsky is the Executive Director of the Philadelphia Association of Retail Druggists (PARD), an association of community pharmacies representing 250 independently owned pharmacies in Southeast Pennsylvania. PARD works closely with State Associations like the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association (PPA).

Today on Sojourner Truth, we focus on Mumia Abu Jamal. On Monday, April 19, unjustly imprisoned Black journalist and human rights campaigner Mumia Abu Jamal underwent serious heart surgery. A few days prior, Mumia was rushed to the hospital following severe chest pains he was experiencing. A day earlier, Mumia's lawyer informed his close supporters that he complained of chest pain while on a walk. From there, he was taken to an undisclosed hospital where it was discovered that his coronary articles were blocked. Mumia already suffered from several pre-existing health conditions. Back in March of this year, he reportedly lost 30 pounds after becoming ill with COVID-19 in the Mahanoy State Correctional Institution. Mumia has also previously been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, diabetes and liver cirrhosis. During his hospitalization last month, Mumia was reportedly shackled to the bed for four days and had wounds all over his body from the shackles that dug into his skin. On Saturday, April 24, Mumia will turn 67 years old. Three days of action demanding the release of Mumia will take place from Friday, April 23 to Saturday, April 25. The days of action had already been planned to mark Mumia's birthday before news of his heart surgery. Starting at the age of 14 in 1968, Abu-Jamal became involved with the Black Panther Party and was a member until October 1970. During that time, he was named Minister of Information for the Black Panther Party. After he finished high school, he later served as president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists. Mumia Abu Jamal was also active in supporting the MOVE Organization in Philadelphia, which was being harassed and violently attacked by police. While working as a part-time reporter at WDAS in Philly, Mumia worked two nights a week as a taxicab driver to supplement his income. On December 9, 1981, Police Department officer Daniel Faulkner conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle belonging to and driven by William, Mumia's younger brother. Mumia's brother was attacked and harassed by Faulker, who was shot by an unidentified person. Although evidence has come forward about who the killer might be. Mumia was also shot in the incident and he was beat pretty severely by several officers before he was taken to the hospital. Our guests are Pam Africa and Linn Washington Jr. Pam Africa is the head of International Concerned Friends and Family of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the Philadelphia-based organization at the center of the international movement seeking Abu-Jamal's release. Linn Washington Jr. is an award-winning journalist who has covered the Abu-Jamal case since December 1981.

This week on The Green Rush, our host Anne Donohoe jumped back in the chair with our friends over at Marijuana Today for a special episode to talk about the next stage of cannabis reform at the federal and state level!  Chatting with friend of the pod Ben Larson of Vertosa, they look at the first federal cannabis bill for 2021 which would see cannabis rescheduled from Schedule 1 to 3. They also take a look at how states like New York and New Jersey are incrementally moving cannabis forward, but in a more lackluster fashion than constituents and advocates would like.  In addition to the chat between Ben and Anne, Marijuana Today also explores the needs around social equity in the cannabis space and how to best provide the resources and education that’s needed to help those most negatively impacted by the War on Drugs to enter and be successful in the industry. Philly-based journalist and Executive Board Member of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists Tauhid Chappell joins to provide his thoughts So don’t sit back, lean forward and enjoy!

Beth McConnell is Policy Director of the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations. PACDC represents more than 100 member organizations, including nearly 50 community development corporations, who work to develop affordable housing, revitalize commercial corridors, and stabilize Philadelphia's neighborhoods. Beth works to advance a policy agenda that helps them do their great work. She leads PACDC’s efforts to advance city, state and federal policies that help CDCs revitalize Philadelphia’s neighborhoods and rebuild communities. The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) earlier this year released a research report called Shifting Neighborhoods: Gentrification and Cultural Displacement in American Cities, and Philadelphia has the dubious distinction of being one of the worst cities for black residents being displaced by real estate development. In this interview, Beth tells us about the broad findings of the NCRC’s study and gives us a historical context to understanding gentrification in Philadelphia.

In this episode of Waking Up Bipolar, Chris Cole speaks with Dr. Michael Guy Thompson—clinical psychologist, educator, and student of the late R.D. Laing. Dr. Thompson moved to London in 1973 to work with R.D. Laing, where he also trained as a psychoanalyst. In 1980 he returned to San Francisco where he founded Free Association, a psychoanalytic salon devoted to integrating phenomenology and psychoanalysis.He subsequently joined the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California in San Francisco where he is currently a Personal and Supervising Analyst and Faculty member. Dr. Thompson has been active in the psychoanalytic community since returning to California in 1980 and has presented his ideas at numerous professional conferences over the past three decades. He is a past President of the International Federation for Psychoanalytic Education (IFPE), and subsequently the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology (NCSPP).Dr. Thompson also serves on the editorial boards of many professional journals, including Psychoanalytic Psychology, the Journal of Phenomenological Psychology, the Journal of European Psychoanalysis, and The Journal of the Society for Existential Analysis. He is the author of more than 100 journal articles, book chapters, and book reviews on phenomenology, psychoanalysis and schizophrenia, as well as five books. He is a popular speaker and has lectured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, Spain, and Australia over the past thirty years. Dr. Thompson is a member of varied psychoanalytic organizations, including the International Psychoanalytic Association, the College of Psychoanalysts (UK), and the Philadelphia Association, London. He practices psychoanalysis in San Francisco and lives in Marin County, California.As you’ll hear in our conversation, Dr. Thompson honors the vision of R.D. Laing in his activism and psychotherapy practice, as well as the Gnosis Retreat Center in San Francisco, California. If you have not read The Politics of Experience by Ronald David Laing, press pause and go buy this seminal book on the intersection of madness and society. The work of R.D. Laing is best summarized for me by the quote, “We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love.”Dr. Thompson carries on the simultaneously radical and pragmatic approach of Dr. Laing in humble, accessible servitude. It’s my great honor to present to you now, Dr. Michael Guy Thompson.

In November 2017, Errin Whack was appointed to be the Race and Ethnicity Writer for the Associated Press. She works closely with the Race and Ethnicity team dedicated to covering “race, culture and politics” in a changing and volatile America. The Associated Press says it has developed a team that can focus on the complicated issues of race and provide rapid responses to racial issues developing across the country. “America is currently hyper-racial,” Whack says. She thinks, therefore, that stories about race are more important now than ever. “The election of President Obama caused a huge racial backlash that people didn’t pay enough attention to at the time,” Whack adds. Some people felt threatened by the racial progress of having a black President and it was those feelings of fear and unrest that President Trump tapped into during his 2016 election, according to Whack. Trump fanned the flames of fear during his “Birther Movement” under President Obama and those fears continued and were magnified during the Trump presidential campaign. We are now seeing the results of that fear evidencing itself in many ways, Whack adds. Whack is not a novice at covering racial matters. She started her journalism career writing for a black newspaper in her hometown of Atlanta. Since then, she has worked for the “Washington Post, “The Orlando Sentinel”, and the “Los Angeles Times”. Her worked also has been featured by NBC News, NPR, Politico Magazine, Time.com, BuzzFeed, Fusion, The Guardian, and City Lab. Whack was named the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists’ 2016 Print Journalist of the Year. She also was tapped as the Emerging Journalist of the Year by the National Association of Black Journalists and Print Journalist of the Year by the Atlanta Press Club.

Aundrea Cline-Thomas is an Emmy award-winning reporter for NBC10 News in Philadelphia. When Aundrea is not working, you can find her in the community, volunteering, moderating, or hosting many events for non-profit organizations. Aundrea joined NBC10 news in September of 2015. In 2017 she won a Regional Emmy award for team coverage of the Delaware Prison Standoff. The same year the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists named her Broadcast Journalist of the Year.  Prior to joining NBC10, Aundrea worked as the lead education reporter for four years at WTVF, the CBS affiliate in Nashville, where she won a regional Emmy award for Spot News. She also worked at News 14 Carolina in Charlotte for two years as a reporter and photographer, and WMGT, the NBC affiliate in Macon, Georgia. Aundrea has also been an instructor at the Carolina School of Broadcasting. Aundrea received a bachelor’s degree in Communications with a minor in Black Studies from Boston College, and a master’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Maryland. Raised in a Maryland suburb of Washington D.C., Aundrea is the youngest of three children whose parents are originally from Sierra Leone, West Africa. Doing stuff scared: Did your path involve some moments of fear or even stage fright? Aundrea knows how it feels! She wanted to be a teacher until the 8th grade, when she realized that she would have to discipline unruly kids. That was enough to squelch the teacher dream! As a senior, she participated in a program at American University that pushed her in the direction of broadcast journalism, which turned out to be life-changing. For the first time, she was excited about something and felt that her gifts were truly being used. She loved the creative process of photography and editing, but the “in front of the camera” part was another story, and it didn’t come naturally for this introvert. She learned to “do stuff scared,” battle the stage fright, embrace the scary process and keep going. TWEET:  “I feel like I’m still #teaching, but the classroom is different.” @AClineThomas   Facing challenges: How do you respond when things are just unfair in your career? Aundrea faced many challenges, and she doesn’t know if they were more because of her gender or her race. She has always been determined to be a hard-worker---no matter what. She’s had to learn the hard lesson that she isn’t going to please everyone. Her best advice about these challenges is: “Go somewhere where what you have to offer is valued, and don’t take things personally. At the end of the day, it’s a business, and life experiences have shown that things usually work themselves out.” TWEET: “I face challenges, and sometimes I don’t know if it’s gender or race.” @AClineThomas   “Eternal faith in myself and my ability”: Do you know what it feels like to work in a toxic environment? When you aren’t valued or offered the same promotions as someone else, you need to walk away in order to do what’s best for you. Aundrea left a job not knowing what was next or what she would do. It took months to find a job, and it wasn’t even what she wanted to do! It was a time that tested her faith and put her ego in check as she woke up every day to go to a job that she didn’t want to do. She had to have eternal faith in herself and her ability to make it through. The important lesson she learned was: “This isn’t the end or even the beginning, but it’s a part of the process.” TWEET: “I think of myself on a continuum, not at a destination.” @AClineThomas   Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take—“Dreams are no good if they stay in your head; you have to put action to it. If you’re not in school and want to be a journalist, then start learning the journalism industry. Figure out what skills are your strengths and create something right now.”   OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [2:14] The Philly connection for a Maryland girl who originally wanted to be a teacher [6:47] An introvert who goes in front of the camera [8:17] Getting past the ugly mistakes, learning, and growing [10:42] Still learning and facing challenges [12:47] Having to say NO because of discrimination [17:37] “Betting on myself” [19:10] The interview tour: Buffalo, Nashville, and Charlotte [22:56] Going full circle back to education as a journalist [24:40] Giving back [26:07] Something surprising about broadcast journalism [29:09] Journalistic integrity, transparency, and the process [33:51] Where journalism is going in the future [36:09] Aundrea’s bucket list [37:08] ONE action for a dream chaser RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: Aundrea onTwitter Aundrea on Instagram   This episode is sponsored by patreon campaign supporters.

GUESTSFrank Woodruff is the Executive Director of the National Alliance of Community Economic Development Associations (NACEDA). Frank joined NACEDA in September 2010, becoming executive director in January 2012. During a time of significant political and economic challenges for community development, Frank saw this as an opportunity to take NACEDA to a new level of success and sustainability.
