To learn how something is done or achieved, we may find it helpful to look at the thing or things that are doing or achieving that something so as to better learn how the something does what it does and achieves what it achieves. We may find it helpful to observe and model after an example that has achieved. Study the masterworks, they say. I have to agree--and not only do I agree, I've been extremely fortunate to be in a situation to study and perform with masters. Today on Progress Culture, we get a chance to pick the brain of my mentor and master musician and drummer, Paul F. Murphy. Paul has achieved at the highest levels of art and music. He has been recognized by Oxford for developing a new sound in jazz and art and has a long history of friendships and working relationships with icons and trailblazers in art including Gene Krupa, Miles Davis, Rashied Ali, Salvador Dali, Jimmy Lyons, and Cecil Taylor.

Today on Progress Culture we take a look at creation, connection, devotion, failure, and success. Brain Jordan of Jordan R & D, and TechPort Intern, Tabitha Dunn, join Paul and I as we jump into the parallels of creativity and the creative "spark." We find ourselves asking, "what is the mother of invention," or rather the "Mothers of Invention?" This question takes us on a path that lands on how creativity taps us into the universal connection or consciousness and how necessary that actually is in our lives. Also, How important is devotion on the journey to do something different? How important is failure? It certainly would be a stroke of luck to find success without failure, and quite possibly a whole load of failure. But it seems pretty clear that we all agree that creativity and passion--your creativity, passion, and contribution to life IS IMPORTANT!

This week, Matt Hayes of UPD and Southern Maryland Loves You fame and notoriety takes us on a journey of topics and ideas. He is Progress Culture's second guest host and Paul, TechPort Director, Tommy Luginbill, and I are also on the scene. Matt leads off with a look at what we can learn about innovation from the "greatest generation," the generation who has set the stage for a lot of what is happening in the world today in regard to modern politics, science, and technology. It's pretty tricky to put a nice bow on this one. We get into a bunch of different stuff: the League of Nations, the UN, modern and face to face warfare, analog experiences being more conducive to creativity, the fundamentals of creativity, including a little bit of mystery in your life, and beyond!!Breaking It Down With the Greatest GenerationProgress Culture PodcastEpisode 12Sonic Spirits -and- TechPortLittle Rock Cottage Sessions (Mondays)Progress Culture Podcast (Wednesdays)Progress Culture OnScreen (Thursdays)SIF/TechPort Sessions (Fridays)www.ProgressCulture.orgwww.TechPortSoMD.orgwww.Sonic-Spirits.com
This week on the show we try a little different approach. We turn the reins over to actor, screenwriter, producer, and man of much interestingness, Kevin Schmidt. Kevin is the new Public Broadcast Manager for Calvert County and is in the process of making a documentary on Southern Maryland's response to COVID-19. It is in this capacity he functions as our host today. Though, in much the Progress Culture style we are carried to and through numerous thought threads. Paul F. Murphy, TechPort Director, Tommy Luginbill, and Dominic Fragman join Kevin as we jump into a variety of conversation topics for this week's episode of Progress Culture: Whats up with SIF? Whats up with TechPort? Whats up with Culture? Are there high growth areas on the horizon, especially in the innovation sector? How do we create space for people within them? How do we expand employment opportunities for people? Is the biggest innovation from this crisis in seeing leaders emerge from areas we don't expect with different ways of approaching problems? We also discuss important turning points in our own respective journeys: sobriety, intuition, mentorship, the value of understanding the structure of and how to communicate through stories and positivity.Good VibrationsProgress Culture PodcastEpisode 11Sonic Spirits -and- TechPortLittle Rock Cottage Sessions (Mondays)Progress Culture Podcast (Wednesdays)Progress Culture OnScreen (Thursdays)SIF/TechPort Sessions (Fridays)www.ProgressCulture.orgwww.TechPortSoMD.orgwww.Sonic-Spirits.com

Today we get a unique glimpse at What happens when a black woman points a mic at four white men and says, "Let's talk about race"? Dr. Sybol Anderson joins us to host a deep conversation on racial justice and equality. Sybol is a co-founder of the Spirit of Innovation & Freedom and the chief diversity officer at the College of Southern Maryland. She hosts me, Paul, Progress Culture friend and regular, TechPort Director, Tommy Luginbill, and Director of the University of Maryland Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test Site, Matt Scassero. During the discussion, Sybol directs our consideration to how we're feeling about the string of recent events and protests sparked by Police brutality against African Americans and the killing of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and numerous other persons of color. We explore the pain and the confusion as well what actions need to be taken to make progress away from these happenings and this treatment. What and how can we do something? How can we share love and direct support not just today and tomorrow or once in a while, but every single day? What can be done about racial injustice? What are YOU gonna stand for?What Are You Gonna Stand For?Progress Culture PodcastEpisode 8Sonic Spirits -and- TechPortLittle Rock Cottage Sessions (Mondays)Progress Culture Podcast (Wednesdays)Progress Culture OnScreen (Thursdays)SIF/TechPort Sessions (Fridays)www.ProgressCulture.orgwww.TechPortSoMD.orgwww.Sonic-Spirits.com

Praxis colleague, aviation buff, and all around interesting guy Zak Slayback comes back to the show to talk about the future, technology, progress, work, universal basic income, and much more. We discuss whether there is a "digital divide" between urban and rural populations, whether that has significance culturally or politically, the rate of technological change, how self-driving cars might disrupt the aviation industry, and whether a future of greater wealth and robots means income should be forcibly redistributed (hint: no).
