J Stamatelos is helping men replace chronic insecurity and shame with a sense of internal peace and grounded confidence |EP112

Episode 112!  Struck by the events of 9/11, which took place when he was 15 years old, James (J) was convinced stopping radicalization and violence was the best way to help his community.  After earning multiple degrees, he went on to work for the City of Pittsburgh Office of Emergency Management & Homeland Security and Region 13 Counter-Terrorism Fusion Center. As an emergency management specialist, J routinely deployed with Pittsburgh SWAT to barricaded suspects and hostage situations, responded to major natural disasters, trained citizen responders, and authored the operationalization of Pittsburgh's evacuation plan.  Due to a mix of chronic stress and endless self-loathing, J hit rock bottom that nearly cost him his life in December of 2010.  Luckily, he was fortunate to be surrounded by great people who taught him how to repair his relationship with himself. This event - and the way others engaged with him - changed his life. As he began to heal and reconnect with others, James realized that virtually everyone around him was going through some version of the same problem.  Constant self-criticism, a deep sense of worthlessness, and hiding the truth from others in shame.  If he wanted to help, he needed to learn why this was happening - and how to fix it.  Tune in to hear how J helps men replace chronic insecurity and shame with a sense of internal peace and grounded confidence.  Enjoy! ===========================================================Connect with J here: Website: https://www.jamesjstamatelos.com/Thanks for listening!

Only in Seattle - Real Estate Unplugged
#2,201 - With looming foreclosures nearly half of Downtown Pittsburgh office space could be empty in 4 years

Only in Seattle - Real Estate Unplugged

In a stark revelation, nearly half of downtown Pittsburgh's office spaces are predicted to be vacant by 2028, posing a significant challenge not only to the city's economic landscape but also to its social fabric. This downturn is attributed to the rising risks of foreclosures and a dramatic shift in workplace dynamics, with remote work diminishing the need for physical office spaces. The situation is further exacerbated by the Pittsburgh Police Department's announcement that it will prioritize emergency calls, leaving lesser incidents like theft and harassment to be handled by an "enhanced telephone reporting unit," essentially an answering machine. This shift in police response underscores the broader implications of declining downtown occupancy: reduced tax revenue, decreased law enforcement presence, and a looming fiscal crisis for the city. The problem, while acute in Pittsburgh, mirrors a nationwide trend where cities grapple with the fallout of remote work and changing urban dynamics, threatening the vibrancy and economic stability of downtown areas. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

Hello and welcome to the History of Drugs in Society, where we explore the history of different substances and how we've lived alongside and interacted with them. I'm your host, Eugene Leventhal.  If you're interested in learning more about how fentanyl markets came about and how they look like today, you should enjoy this discussion. In this episode, I interview Jon Caulkins, who is a University Professor Of Operations Research And Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College. Our interview focuses on fentanyl in the United States, looking at both the history and current state of fentanyl market. We talk about the impact of COVID-19 on fentanyl markets, what evidence there has been of fentanyl being mixed with other drugs, and what a term like morphine equivalent dose means and why it's important to know. We also touch on safe supply, regional and international trends in synthetic opioid usage, and where data on overdoses come from.  Pulling from his bio on the Heinz College site, “Jon Caulkins has been on the Heinz College faculty since 1990, with leaves of absence to be co-director of RAND's Drug Policy Research Center in Santa Monica (1994-1996), to found RAND's Pittsburgh Office (1999-2001), and to teach at Carnegie Mellon's campus in Doha, Qatar (2005-2011).     Here is the link to the UN report mention https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/05/1063512 Other links: https://www.rand.org/ http://www.issdp.org/

Don and Peter shared their experience performing music ecosystem audits for four cities. The 2015 Austin Music Census and their continuing studies of Charlotte, Pittsburgh, and Washington DC are more than doing a venue count. They gather the personal, qualitative stories of local life as an artist and musician in a community. They also began to take a look at what really then happens post-study with a community, including what happens with local community groups. Folks can end up swimming in different directions. They are beginning to have enough information to look across cities to compare and contrast the lives of artists. And in some cases, they have gathered up to 12 different ways that a single musician makes a living through music in this live and digitally connected age. They have great insights to share about how local makes a tremendous difference in what the superpowers are for a city. They also share how some smaller organizations and some smaller cities are making a difference and how it's more than the city -- it also is the ecosystem of the region. Guests: Don Pitts and Peter Schwarz, Co-Founders, Sound Music Cities About Sound Music Cities: Based in Austin, Texas, Sound Music Cities was born from direct experience in music-related policy, music development program implementations, and leadership of sound management initiatives. Founded by Don Pitts and Peter Schwarz in 2017, the team has extensive experience in music strategy that balances the needs of the music and nightlife industry with the needs of the community. Their growing list of clients includes WYEP Pittsburgh, The City of Pittsburgh Office of Nighttime Economy, The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, The City of Seattle Office of Film and Music, and the Government of the District of Columbia Office of Cable TV, Film, Music and Entertainment. Don Pitts: After 30 years in the music and entertainment industry, Don Pitts launched Sound Music Cities to help emerging and established music and entertainment cities find practical solutions to sound issues, and grow their music economy. Having garnered the nickname “The Sound Whisperer” from his tenure as the head of the City of Austin’s Economic Development Department’s Music and Entertainment Division where he reduced sound complaints by 70%, Don brings his experience and passion for creating vibrant music cities to Sound Music Cities and its clients. Originally from Nashville, Don has gone far and wide in the music industry, doing everything from managing bands and venues, to handling entertainment relations for Gibson Guitar, to co-founding the North American Music Cities Summit, to working in the public sector. His strategic perspective lies at the cross-section of these experiences – lending him the ability to navigate and bring together the political and industry landscapes. While with the City of Austin, Don’s leadership fueled programs to increase prosperity for musicians, music businesses and music venues – all important when building a sustainable economic engine. Don values political know-how, street-smarts and active listening skills – three things that help when beginning to connect the dots over the course of a large music ecosystem project.  Peter Schwarz:  Peter Schwarz brings almost four decades of experience as a musician and a business leader to the team. He recently completed a long-term commercial music industry plan for the City of Austin’s Economic Development Department, Music and Entertainment Division, as well as authored research studies for “The Pittsburgh Music Ecosystem Study” and the City of Seattle’s 2018 Music Industry Survey. He was previously for 14 years the executive-in-charge of all of Ray Benson’s holdings, including Asleep at the Wheel and Bismeaux Records. He oversaw album releases and artist management for Carolyn Wonderland, Willie and the Wheel, Raul Malo, A Ride With Bob, Texas Tornados, Wheeler Brothers, Aaron Behrens, and the 2015 GRAMMY-winner Still The King. Earlier experience includes festival coordination, arts programming, album producing, touring musician and composer (as a member and manager of Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys), protégé of master Cajun fiddler Dewey Balfa, and longtime musical collaborator with his father, Tracy Schwarz, of The New Lost City Ramblers. Schwarz is a graduate of Harvard College (BA) and the McCombs School of Business (MBA).
