In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, host Dane Carlson speaks with Deb Brown, co-founder of Save Your Town and author of "From Possibilities to Reality: How to Save Your Small Town." They discuss Brown's workbook-style approach to small town economic development, sharing practical examples of community revitalization, including movie theater revitalization as an economic driver. Brown offers insights on addressing resistance to change by exploring what people truly valued about their towns in the past, and provides actionable strategies for community members who want to make a difference in their small towns. Like this show? Please leave us a review here (https://econdevshow.com/rate-this-podcast/) — even one sentence helps! Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Implement the "idea friendly method" to bypass traditional committee bureaucracy and mobilize community-driven economic development projects. Organize "Tour of Empty Buildings" events to showcase vacant commercial spaces and connect potential business owners with available properties. Focus on attracting and supporting local businesses to expand into empty downtown spaces rather than solely pursuing large outside employers. Create accessible maps and resources that showcase available commercial properties to potential investors and entrepreneurs. Engage residents outside the "usual suspects" (city officials, chamber members) by hosting informal idea-gathering sessions at local coffee shops or breweries. When communities resist change, dig into what they specifically valued about the past to identify the core needs that modern solutions can address. Develop sustainable business models for community assets (like movie theaters) that create real employment rather than relying exclusively on volunteers. Establish clear pathways from idea generation to implementation that don't require formal committee formation or extensive bureaucratic processes. Prioritize filling downtown vacancies with businesses that serve current community needs while preserving historical character. Leverage success stories from similar small towns as proof-of-concept examples when pitching new development ideas to stakeholders and building owners. Special Guest: Deb Brown.

Summary: In this episode, Ellis Pratt explores the critical issue of data privacy for technical writers using AI tools and chatbots. He delves into the potential risks, from data leaks and copyright infringement to compliance violations and intellectual property concerns. The episode also provides practical solutions and strategies for mitigating these risks, empowering technical writers to leverage AI responsibly and ethically. Key Discussion Points: The Promise and Peril of AI: AI offers significant productivity gains for technical writers (content creation, first drafts, automation of tasks), but introduces critical privacy risks. Potential Risks of Using AI: Data Leaks: Inputted data becoming part of the AI model, accessible to others. Copyright Infringement: AI generating content based on competitor data. Data Breaches: Risk of AI providers being hacked. Data Sovereignty: Data stored in different countries potentially conflicting with regulations. Compliance Violations: Risks related to regulated industries (healthcare, finance). Intellectual Property Rights: Ambiguity over who owns AI-generated content. Practical Solutions and Mitigation Strategies: Sanitising Content: Replace sensitive data (API keys, product names) with placeholders. Generic Examples: Use generic rather than actual customer data. Limiting Data Input: Provide only the minimum amount of data required. Review and Redact: Carefully review content before inputting to AI. Check Public Domain Status: Determine if the content is already publicly available. AI Provider Privacy Policies: Review data retention policies and opt-out options. Choosing Secure Tools: Select tools with better data deletion options (e.g., Google GeminiAI Studio, Claude). Managing Data Controls: Understand how to control data collection settings (e.g., ChatGPT). Private/Managed LLMs: Consider private, self-hosted, or managed AI models for sensitive data. Develop Policies and Procedures: Create guidelines for team use of AI, tiered approaches based on document sensitivity. Content Filters: Implement filters to check for sensitive information. Audits and Assessments: Engage IT security for impact assessments and security audits. Actionable Takeaways: Prioritise Data Sanitisation: Make it a core practice before using any AI tool. Review Privacy Policies: Understand the data handling practices of your AI providers. Implement Security Measures: Protect proprietary and confidential information through policies, technology, and human oversight. Collaborate with Security and Legal: Engage relevant internal teams to ensure compliance and minimize risk. Start Small and Stay Informed: Gradually introduce AI with low-risk documentation and keep up to date on the latest privacy risks and solutions. Quotes: "AI and chatbots offer in technical writing…a huge promise of a way to be more efficient and more effective in what we do. But…we do need to be aware that there is a privacy risk, and we need to address that." "AI…is both a powerful productivity tool and a potential risk. So we need to think about those two aspects and manage it." "So we're going to be on a tightrope, a privacy tightrope." Want Help Improving Your Documentation?

Overcoming Challenges in UK Housing DeliveryThe government's ambitious goal of delivering 1.5 million homes within this parliamentary term is undeniably bold. Bob Weston, Chairman of Weston Homes, highlighted the need for significant action to meet demand, particularly given a 40% drop in housing output and a decline in first-time buyers due to limited mortgage support schemes.Robert Mulryan, Director at Ballymore, emphasised that London, in particular, faces a steeper challenge, with construction starts down approximately 70% from the 10-year average. However, both experts expressed optimism that with the right policy changes and industry collaboration, the sector can regain momentum.Keeping London Competitive on the Global StageLondon remains a world-class city, but maintaining its appeal to high-net-worth individuals and businesses is crucial. Daniel Daggers, Founder of DDRE.Global, pointed out that London must compete more effectively for global talent and investment.“The ultra-high-net-worth community is hypermobile,” he explained. “We need to create an environment that entices them to choose London over other global hubs.”Daggers advocated for more supportive tax policies, streamlined entrepreneurial regulations, and enhanced AI capabilities to foster a thriving business environment.Bridging the Housing Affordability GapGeeta Nanda, a leader in both affordable housing and private development, underscored the importance of making housing accessible to medium-income groups. “The demand for housing is massive, particularly in London. We need to innovate in how we fund and deliver affordable housing,” she said.She highlighted the vital role housing associations play in affordability but noted that rising costs and financial pressures have limited their ability to build at scale. Her call to action? More efficient allocation of existing government funds rather than reliance on new funding sources.Practical Solutions for a Stronger Housing MarketThe panel shared a range of solutions designed to boost housing supply and affordability, including:Recapitalising Housing Associations: Redirecting funds to support building safety measures, freeing up resources for new development.Simplifying Design Standards: Adjusting London's design requirements to enable the construction of more affordable homes, better aligned with market demand.Expanding Mortgage Availability: Introducing genuine 90% mortgage products to improve accessibility for first-time buyers.Updating Shared Ownership Caps: Revising outdated income thresholds to reflect current market realities and allow more people to benefit.Empowering Small and Medium Developers: Supporting smaller projects that can contribute to overall supply while waiting for larger developments to materialise.A Positive Outlook for London's FutureDespite the challenges, the panel remained confident in London's enduring appeal. Robert Elder, Senior Economist at the Bank of England, reassured attendees that the current government is committed to building more homes and is open to practical solutions from industry leaders.London's cultural and economic strengths remain a powerful draw. “60% of global music production happens in the UK. We have an incredible theatre district. The talent here is exceptional,” noted Daniel Daggers.Robert Mulryan added a note of urgency: “London is one of the greatest cities in the world, but competition is fierce. We need to act decisively to maintain our position.”Turning Ideas into ActionThe message from the panel was clear: the time for discussion has passed—it's time for action. Addressing the housing crisis isn't just about policy; it's about people.Geeta Nanda summed it up best: “We need to start making real, actionable changes.”With the right strategies, collaboration, and commitment, the UK has the expertise and investment potential to create a thriving, inclusive housing market that works for everyone.

Join me, Mark Walsh, for a deep dive into meaning-making, taken from The Embodiment Festival in January 2025. In this session, I explore why so many of us feel lost in modern life and why meaning seems to be slipping through our fingers. We'll tackle the big questions—how did we get here? Why are birth rates plummeting? Why does hedonism leave us empty? And what did Nietzsche mean when he said, “God is dead”? I'll unpack the four horsemen of the meaning apocalypse—nihilism, narcissism, consumerism, and distraction—and why so many people today struggle to find purpose. But it's not all doom and gloom. I'll also share practical solutions for reconnecting with what really matters—your body, your community, nature, and a deeper sense of purpose. Whether you're questioning everything or just looking for a fresh perspective, this session will challenge your thinking and (hopefully) offer a way forward. ------------------------------------------------------ Check out our YouTube channel for more coaching tips and our Podcast channel for full episode videos Uplevel your coaching with a free copy of Mark's latest eBook, The Top 12 Embodiment Coaching Techniques  Join Mark for those juicy in-person workshops and events Fancy some free coaching demo sessions with Mark?  Connect with Mark Walsh on Instagram  --------------------------------------------------------- As a thanks for being a loyal listener, we're sharing a cheeky discount code for $100 OFF our most popular Certification of Embodiment Coaching course:  CEC100PODCAST More info here: https://embodimentunlimited.com/cec/

Proverbs 13:22 tells us, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children…” But while the Bible emphasizes the importance of leaving an inheritance, it doesn't provide a step-by-step guide. That's where careful planning and biblical wisdom come into play. Here are some principles to help you make wise decisions about your estate—particularly when it comes to real estate—and avoid unintended conflicts among your heirs.The Common Approach: Equal DivisionOne of the most common phrases in wills is, “My estate will be divided equally among my children.” This approach seems fair and straightforward, especially when the estate consists entirely of financial assets. However, complications arise when property, such as a home or vacation property, is included.When real estate is left to multiple heirs, they face tough decisions:Joint ownership: Should they retain the property together, splitting the responsibilities and costs?Sell and split proceeds: Should they sell the property and divide the cash?Buy out: Should one or more heirs buy out the others to take full ownership?These decisions can quickly lead to financial and emotional challenges without clear guidance.The Hidden Challenges of Inheriting PropertyLeaving property to multiple heirs often creates unexpected burdens, both financial and emotional.Properties come with ongoing expenses, including:Maintenance costsProperty taxesInsurance premiumsHomeowners association feesWho makes decisions about upkeep? How are expenses divided? And what happens if one heir can't—or won't—pay their share? These issues can turn a blessing into a burden.Emotions can also complicate property decisions, especially when tied to childhood memories. Disagreements over minor details—like paint colors or furniture placement—can spiral into larger conflicts. Long-buried resentments may resurface, particularly if one sibling is named executor and perceived as having undue authority.Practical Solutions to Prevent ConflictTo avoid these challenges, consider these strategies:Treat Property Like Any Other AssetMany estate experts recommend stipulating in your will that all property is to be sold, with proceeds divided among heirs. This approach provides clarity and avoids forcing heirs into joint ownership.Allow for FlexibilitySome heirs may wish to “buy out” the others to retain the property. By structuring your will thoughtfully, you can provide this option while ensuring a fair division of the estate.Consider Unique NeedsRon Blue, author of Splitting Heirs, suggests that “if you love your children equally, you will treat them uniquely.” Equal division may not always be the wisest choice. Consider factors like financial need and money management skills when planning your estate.The key to preventing conflict lies in communication. Discuss your estate plans openly with your family so they understand your decisions and the reasoning behind them. This transparency eliminates surprises and fosters unity among your heirs.Seek Professional GuidanceCreating or updating a will is a critical step that requires professional expertise. Work with an estate attorney who shares your Christian worldview to ensure your wishes align with biblical values. Certified Kingdom Advisors are an excellent resource; visit FaithFi.com to find one near you.By planning thoughtfully and communicating clearly, you can leave your children and grandchildren not only a financial inheritance but also a legacy of love and wisdom. Proverbs 13:22 reminds us of the importance of stewardship—not just in what we leave behind but in how we prepare to pass it on.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 77, and my husband is 81. The only thing that we have of any value is property. We live on about an acre and a half, and we're in a trailer. We would like to gift this property to our grandson, who is 26. We would like to know the best way to gift it without him being hit with too much of a financial penalty.I'm trying to figure out how capital gains are calculated when I withdraw money from my 401(k), especially since my company stock has appreciated significantly over the years.My daughter's credit score is 625, and she's committed to repairing it. My credit score is over 800, and I've heard you talk about making someone an authorized user on a credit card to help with their score. How does that work, and how would it affect our credit scores?I'm completely lost when it comes to finances.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Janet Irizarry, Founder of My Mindful Kitchen, an innovative course designed to reduce food waste, connect families, and foster sustainability. As a mindful foodie, a seasoned restaurateur and entrepreneur, and influencer, Janet combines all of her passions: food, education and course design, raising children, and protecting the environment, to teach children valuable lessons about mindfulness, sustainability, and community, while also strengthening familial bonds. Janet is also the Founder of Hudson Valley EATS, a bimonthly column that she started several years ago to highlight food entrepreneurs and restaurant owners in the Hudson Valley. However, during the pandemic, she shifted its focus to raise money and raise awareness for sustainability and hunger relief organizations in the area. She decided to use the platform to ensure that "Everyone EATS" in the Hudson Valley, and that has been the main focus ever since.She and Ted dig into the My Mindful Kitchen (MMK) Method, which offers practical solutions to household food waste, addressing a critical issue contributing to climate change. Aligned with the EPA's Wasted Food Scale, Janet explains that the program focuses on preventing waste before it starts, encouraging mindful consumption, and making sustainability an easy part of everyday life. In her course, she touches on healthy eating and cooking, though the core of the program is equipping families with the tools to tackle common challenges—like overbuying, disorganization, and poor planning—and create meaningful, positive change.Janet concludes by sharing that the course launched on January 2nd, and her goal is to help families recognize that food choices matter—not just for physical health, but also for emotional well-being, the health of others, and the planet. By fostering this awareness, families can transform unpleasant feelings about big issues like inflation, political uncertainty, and climate change into a sense of empowerment. She believes that each family and individual has the power to make a significant difference in shaping a better future.

A major UN conference to negotiate a global treaty on plastic pollution just ended without an agreement. But efforts may resume in 2025 to get a treaty over the finish line. In this two-part episode, you'll hear first from Erin Simon, WWF's vice president for plastic waste and business, about what happened at that conference in Korea (known as INC-5) and what comes next for the global fight against plastic pollution. Then, in Part 2, you'll hear from Sheila Bonini, WWF's senior vice president for private-sector engagement; and Kevin Keane, president and CEO of American Beverage (ABA) – the trade association representing the nation's non-alcoholic beverage industry. Sheila and Kevin's teams have been working together for the last five years to find different ways to achieve material circularity – which means that all the plastic, as well as other materials like aluminum, that get used are collected and remade into new products. Sheila and Kevin will tell us about what's working, what hurdles still remain, and how they plan to advance their mission regardless of whether a global plastics treaty gets adopted.

We dive deeper into the dynamics of high-functioning codependency, a topic that resonates with many individuals on their journey toward better mental health and empowered relationships. Terry's latest book, *Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High-Functioning Codependency*, serves as the backdrop for our discussion, providing a roadmap to understanding and overcoming the patterns that often hold us back. We reflect on the common struggle of over-giving in relationships—where we instinctively prioritize helping others often at the expense of our own needs. Terry poignantly articulates the tendency of high-functioning codependents (HFCs) to project positivity onto others, leading to frustration when the expected support isn't reciprocated. Together, we explore how this can create unbalanced dynamics, ultimately making HFCs feel as though they are not deserving of the care they so willingly provide to others. We examine significant societal pressures that have shaped these behaviors, particularly for women navigating the complexities of independence while managing emotional labor within their homes and relationships. Understanding the roots of these behaviors is crucial. As we discuss familial dynamics and societal expectations, we uncover the notion that HFCs might emerge not just from trauma, but also from a long history of conditioning—especially for those raised within patriarchal frameworks that undervalue emotional expression. Through shared anecdotes and personal reflections, Terry emphasizes the importance of recognizing our own boundaries and the necessity of allowing others the space to navigate their own challenges. #codependency #highfunctioningcodependency #HFC #mentalhealth #relationships #selfhelp #therapy #personalgrowth #mindfulness #anxietycoachespodcast #acp #GinaRyan Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we tackle a common yet frustrating challenge: indecision. Even as professionals who excel in high-stakes environments, when it comes to personal or career decisions, we often find ourselves paralyzed. Why does this happen? How can we overcome it? Here's what we cover: - Why indecision is so common – especially for high-achieving professionals accustomed to structured paths. - The psychological underpinnings of indecision, including fear of failure, perfectionism, and a lack of confidence. - Real-life stories of grappling with (and overcoming) decision paralysis. - How cognitive distortions like proportion, temporal, and emotional distortions fuel indecision and keep us stuck. Key Takeaways: 1. Fear is often at the root of indecision—fear of failure, regret, or disappointing ourselves or others. 2. Our brains love the status quo. They resist risk and can blow decisions out of proportion, making them seem impossible or overwhelming. 3. Indecision isn't permanent. By identifying the root causes and using proven strategies, you can move forward. Practical Solutions for Overcoming Indecision: - Break big decisions into smaller steps. Focus on gathering facts and taking the next right action. - Set deadlines for yourself. Avoid the endless loop of "information gathering" by choosing a reasonable timeframe to decide. - Challenge distortions. Ask yourself: - What's the worst that could happen? - How likely is that to occur? - If it did happen, how would I handle it? - Reframe discomfort as growth. Feeling scared doesn't mean something is wrong; it often means growth is happening. - Limit outside opinions to trusted sources who align with your values and goals. Special Mention: We discuss insights from Nuala Walsh's TEDx Talk, including her three types of decision distortions (proportion, temporal, and emotional) and how to combat them.

Guest Award-winning cookbook author, blogger, fermenter and sourdough baker Anne-Marie Bonneau has lived plastic-free since 2011. Through social media, her blog and her book, The Zero-Waste Chef: Plant-Forward Recipes and Tips for a Sustainable Kitchen and Planet, Anne-Marie shows others how reducing their trash not only benefits the planet but also satisfies their taste buds, improves their well-being and boosts their bank accounts. Summary Anne-Marie Bonneau offers practical approaches to reducing waste, particularly focusing on food waste and plastic consumption. She emphasizes that while achieving absolute zero waste isn't realistic, making small, manageable changes can have a significant impact. The discussion covers various accessible strategies, from using cloth shopping bags and produce bags to cooking with dried beans instead of canned ones. Anne-Marie addresses common misconceptions about food expiration dates and reveals that only 5% of plastic gets recycled in the US. She challenges the myth that sustainable living is necessarily expensive or time-consuming, suggesting that it often saves money by reducing food waste and unnecessary purchases. The conversation touches on composting initiatives, the problems with plastic recycling, and creative ways to use food scraps. Throughout the episode, Anne-Marie maintains that living more sustainably should be enjoyable rather than burdensome, noting that it leads to a lighter, more satisfying lifestyle with better food choices and less clutter. Key Takeaways Food waste in landfills produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas; composting is a better alternative Only about 5% of plastic is recycled in the US; reducing plastic use is more effective than recycling Simple changes like using reusable bags, buying in bulk, and cooking from scratch can significantly reduce waste Adopting a low-waste lifestyle can improve health, save money, and be a more satisfying way to live Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroWasteChef Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zerowastechef Threads: https://www.threads.net/@zerowastechef newsletter: https://zerowastechef.substack.com/   About Jeff Jeff Ikler is the Director of Quetico Leadership and Career Coaching. “Quetico” (KWEH-teh-co).

Instead, the episode highlights the true drivers of workplace loneliness and offers practical strategies for leaders to foster stronger connections within their teams. Key Topics Discussed: Misconceptions About Hybrid Work and Loneliness Dr. Hadley challenges the widely held belief that hybrid or remote work automatically leads to feelings of isolation.

Dr. Hadley discusses the importance of leadership engagement and the value of fostering a high-trust culture to ensure employees feel seen, heard, and valued.

In this insightful episode, host Mark Stinson sits down with Ben Gillenwater, a technology expert with a background as a CTO, former NSA contractor, and entrepreneur. Together, they delve into the critical topic of internet safety in the home, exploring the intersection of creativity, technology, and security. Ben shares his unique perspective on how the digital age's innovations come with significant privacy and security concerns that every family should be aware of. He offers practical advice on how to protect personal information and minimize risks, emphasizing the importance of staying vigilant in the face of increasingly sophisticated online threats.5 Key Takeaways:1. Understanding the Stakes: Internet safety extends far beyond physical threats; it includes privacy, emotional well-being, and protecting against the monetization of our digital behaviors. Major companies like Meta, Google, and Microsoft are financially motivated to collect and utilize personal data to enhance their advertising revenue, often at the cost of user privacy.2. The Hidden Dangers of Data Collection: Seemingly harmless online activities can lead to significant behavioral and information exposure. For instance, social media platforms like Facebook track user behavior across the internet, leading to data breaches like the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where personal data was exploited for political gain.3. Children and Internet Safety: Giving children unfiltered access to the internet is akin to leaving your home's front door unlocked. Ben stresses the importance of monitoring and controlling internet access for children and gradually increasing their exposure as they mature and develop better judgment.4. The Illusion of Free Services: Many free apps and services are designed to capture and monetize user data. Ben advises listeners to be skeptical of "free" offerings, as they often come with hidden costs, such as compromised privacy and personal information being sold to third parties.5. Practical Solutions for Families: There are actionable steps that families can take to protect themselves, such as using child safety apps like Bark, which offer comprehensive monitoring of children's online activities. However, as children grow older, it's essential to balance technical controls with education on digital literacy and responsible online behavior.Quote:*"You are safer removing the locks in your house than you are giving your kids unfiltered access to the Internet." — Ben GillenwaterDon't miss this episode if you want to learn how to safeguard your family's digital life and navigate the complexities of internet safety in the modern age.Subscribe & Follow: Stay updated with the latest episodes of Your World of Creativity by subscribing on your favorite podcast platform and following us on social media.
