OverviewThis week's newsletter centers on the explosive rise of AI, highlighting how OpenAI's massive funding round and soaring valuation are signaling a transformative shift in both technology and finance. The content weaves together themes on the evolving nature of creativity in the AI era, intense debates around copyright and intellectual property rights, and strategic investments that are helping AI expand into new sectors such as education. The interplay of technology, ethics, and global market dynamics makes this a compelling discussion for anyone watching the AI revolution unfold.Key Trend 1: Explosive Growth and Valuation in AIAcross the newsletter, OpenAI emerges as the poster child of AI's rapid ascent—raising $40 billion at a $300 billion valuation, with projections hinting at exponential revenue growth over the next few years.Talking Point 1:The funding round “of $40 billion at $300 billion valuation” is a clear indication of the immense investor confidence in AI. Quote: “No one would have predicted that $1 trillion is almost too small to contain what is being built.” (Editorial) Reference: NY Times article on OpenAI's valuationTalking Point 2:This financing milestone, when compared to historic tech deals, underscores how AI is redefining the scale and pace of innovation. Evidence: “After Wiz sold to Google for $32 billion in cash, and X ‘sold' to xAI… Enter OpenAI with a new $40 billion raise…” (Editorial)Key Trend 2: The Evolution of Creativity and Authorship in the Age of AIThe newsletter prompts us to re-examine the creative process as AI tools become increasingly intertwined with content creation. One burning question is: “When does writing stop being ‘yours'?” as AI begins to shoulder some of the creative workload.Talking Point 1:The evolving role of AI in writing invites debate on what constitutes true authorship and originality. Quote: “How does the emergence of AI reshape our understanding of authorship and originality?” (Editorial quoting JF Martin essay)Talking Point 2:Despite the sophisticated capabilities of AI, the content emphasizes that “the creation of truly meaningful and high-quality content still relies heavily on human direction and insight,” fostering a creative partnership rather than a displacement of human ingenuity.Evidence: “The intricate dance of crafting prompts, providing feedback, and ultimately evaluating the AI's output…” (Editorial)Key Trend 3: Copyright Controversies and the Ethics of AI TrainingAlongside the excitement around AI, ethical and legal debates are emerging—most notably around how AI models are trained, especially when they use copyrighted materials without explicit permission.Talking Point 1:Controversies over using copyrighted content, such as O'Reilly books, have already led to lawsuits and heated debates about intellectual property rights. Quote: “Reports suggesting that AI models, potentially including OpenAI's, have been trained on copyrighted material like O'Reilly books…” (Editorial) Reference: TechCrunch article on copyrighted AI trainingTalking Point 2:This evolving legal landscape signals an urgent need for more transparent guidelines and ethical frameworks that balance technology's potential with respect for content creators.Evidence: “Navigating these ethical and legal complexities will be essential as AI becomes more deeply embedded in content creation.” (Editorial)Key Trend 4: AI's Growing Role in Education and Personalized LearningThe investment in SchoolAI highlights an important application of AI beyond traditional tech sectors, as it moves into education to personalize learning and improve both teacher and student experiences.Talking Point 1:SchoolAI's innovative approach uses AI to “personalize education for every student and teacher,” making learning more engaging and adaptable to individual needs.Quote: “My first 30-minute meeting with SchoolAI founder Caleb Hicks stretched to over ninety as we delved into his vision.” (Editorial) Reference: SchoolAI investment articleTalking Point 2:By integrating AI into classrooms, SchoolAI is also addressing pressing challenges like teacher shortages and the need for customized support for each student.Evidence: “SchoolAI's platform is used in over 1 million classrooms across the U.S. and more than 80 countries…” (Editorial)Discussion QuestionsHow sustainable is the current wave of massive AI funding given historical tech market cycles?In what ways might the blending of human creativity and AI tools redefine traditional notions of authorship?What ethical boundaries should be established regarding the use of copyrighted materials for training AI systems?Could the integration of AI into education help bridge learning gaps, or might it exacerbate existing inequalities?How will ongoing geopolitical tensions and evolving trade policies impact future innovation and investment in AI?What kind of legal and regulatory frameworks are needed to balance innovation with intellectual property rights in the AI era?How do we ensure that AI remains an enabler of human creativity rather than a replacement?Closing SegmentThe newsletter paints a vivid picture of an era defined by dramatic shifts in technology and market dynamics. The staggering growth in AI valuations, the redefinition of creative authorship, and the ethical challenges surrounding data and copyrights all point to a transformative period in business and culture. As AI finds new applications in education and beyond, the ultimate challenge—and opportunity—will be balancing rapid technological advances with ethical responsibility and sustained human oversight. Final Thought: As we stand at the crossroads of an AI-driven future, the choices we make about funding, regulation, and creative collaboration will shape not only industries but the very way we understand and preserve human ingenuity.

Here are two quotes from The CEO Test by Adam Bryant and Kevin Sharer. The book's content is simple, practical, and actionable for most leaders. Quote No. 1“A helpful acronym for leaders to keep in mind is WAIT, which stands for, "Why Am I Talking?" because anything a leader says can quickly overwhelm a discussion and make people shut down.Asking yourself, “Why am I talking?” helps determine whether it's more valuable to listen or contribute at that moment. Sometimes, listening is contributing. Leaders often dominate conversations due to their authority. As leaders, we must seek to understand and share the truth. That requires a balance of communication. Quote No. 2“What is clear and simple in the leader's head is often not as clear and simple to everyone else. Because of the powerful gravitational pull in business to make things more complicated…a leader's job is to provide the counterweight of a relentless drive to simplify complexity, and to develop a jargon-free plan for winning that everyone understands, remembers, and knows how to contribute. The simple plan will evolve over time…but the point is to start with a clear plan so you know what to adjust and why when market conditions change….The skill of simplifying complexity is not widely shared, and leaders need to make a conscious effort to practice it themselves and demand it from others.” (lightly edited for clarity)The idea that leaders are a “counterweight to complexity” is powerful. Being a leader means being a simplifier. To execute, you and your team must understand reality, which means wading through complexity to find the truth. Ask yourself:* Do I understand the truth? Understanding requires discipline, curiosity, humility, and actively fostering a culture of truth-seeking and truth-speaking.* Does everyone understand the truth? – Simplifying complex information is required to create actionable communication.* Are our actions aligned with reality? – A well-crafted email is nice, but execution is what counts. Everyone should understand what you're trying to do, why it's important, the “why” of decisions, what you're struggling with, and what excellence looks like in behavior and execution. Actions:* Prioritize communication. Where will you be intentional this week? This should include how you and your junior leaders are mastering the craft of communication, including listening. * Ensure your team understands the what, why, and how of their work.* Challenge your assumptions. Just because it's clear to you doesn't mean it is clear to everyone else. I consistently fall into this trap. * Develop feedback loops to assess clarity and surface ideas, questions, and truth.* Be explicit about the “why” in everything to foster better decision-making and understanding.* Don't assume people have heard your message or that they understand it—repetition is essential.I hope you're good.

I am your host Johnathan Hines, and I'm excited to help you build stronger foundations in your marriage. Are you ready to take your relationship to the next level? Let's dive in! New Dad's Joke: Why did the tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing! Quote: "No relationship is perfect, but when both parties are committed to building something great together, they can achieve anything." - Johnathan Hines Segment 3: People Struggle with These Issues: In today's episode, we will discuss how couples struggle with building a strong foundation in their relationship. Often, they may be overwhelmed by external circumstances, communication issues, or personal struggles that affect their marriage. Famous Personal Story: John F. Kennedy once said, "The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining." This statement emphasizes the importance of building a strong foundation while times are good. By working to build a strong foundation during good times, couples can better weather the storms that may come their way. Analogies/Parables: The story of the three little pigs teaches us the importance of building a strong foundation. When the big bad wolf came to blow their houses down, the pig with the strongest and most solid foundation was able to withstand the winds. Summary of Segment 3: Although building a strong foundation can be challenging, it is essential for a lasting and healthy relationship. By prioritizing communication, addressing issues head-on, and working together as a team, couples can build a strong foundation for their marriage. The Hines Sight Tip: Today's tip is all about prioritizing quality time with your partner. Make an effort to regularly schedule date nights and other meaningful activities that allow you to connect and spend time together. Old and New Story: A couple from the 1950s prioritized date nights once a week, where they would dress up and go dancing. In more modern times, some couples have taken to technology to stay connected by scheduling virtual dates or using apps to share experiences together from afar. Action Steps: Make a list of activities that you and your partner enjoy that you can do together. Schedule a date night at least once a month and commit to sticking to it. Segment 3: Q&A Q1: How can we improve communication in our marriage? Host Answer: Improving communication in your relationship often starts with scheduling time each day to talk and check in with each other. Also, using "I" statements instead of "You" statements can help keep the conversation positive and constructive. Q2: How can we address conflict without escalating the situation? Host Answer: It's important to approach conflict with understanding and empathy. Active listening is key to understanding your partner's perspective, and staying calm is important to deescalate the situation. Q3: How do we maintain the passion and spark in our relationship? Host Answer: Making time for intimacy and exploring new experiences together can help maintain the spark in a marriage. It's also important to continue learning and growing together as a couple. Conclusion: Building strong foundations in our relationships is essential for long-term happiness and success. By prioritizing communication, making time for quality moments together, and working together to overcome obstacles, we can create stronger, healthier relationships. Remember, building a strong foundation is a lifelong process. Motivation/Hope: There is hope for every couple to build a strong foundation in their relationship.

Anyone who is caught doing so will have himself to blame for his ensuing death.” Christ Calls Us to Serve (vv. 33–37) Quote: “The first question the priest and the Levite asked was, “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?” But the good Samaritan reversed the question: “If I do not stop and help this man, what will happen to him?” —Martin Luther King

Nature provides massive evidence that a good, caring, competent god did not set up creation. We are at the mercy, not of a merciful God, but of a relentlessly cruel natural order.

Today's Quote: “No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas This weekend's writing prompt - fitting with the launch of Tesla's "plaid" model this week: “I was excited when the rental clerk offered to upgrade me to a Tesla. But I was also concerned. I had a long drive ahead of me across the desert and I was worried about finding a charging station. No problem, the clerk reassured me, this is a special superior long range model. I remembered his words vividly halfway to Joshua Tree when, with all the fanfare of a computer crashing, the Tesla went dead in the middle of the road. That's when it suddenly occurred to me - rental companies don't actually RENT Teslas. I stepped out of the car into the blazing sun to investigate what was actually under the hood of my mystery rental."

I'm your co host Ron box seller.Kirsten Mayfield  0:31  And I'm Kirsten Mayfield and we have with us today Corinne Cantwell Heggie she's principal with Walker law firm. She's been an attorney for 20 years, and she's one of those powerful women in law. We love talking to you on this podcast. In 2020, Chicago lawyer at Chicago daily law bulletin had its inaugural class of the 50 salute women in law. crin was one of those named before woessner, she worked in big law and she was counsel at the largest majority female in law firm in Chicago, which is very cool. She was also the immediate past president of the woman's Bar Association of Illinois. But I would be remiss not to also speak about what she does, as an attorney and she specializes in estate planning. She's an advocate to protect your property, regardless of your marital status, your age, your income level, your tax bracket, which is a great and worthy cause I've known so many people who have not been able to grieve properly because they were suddenly mistake planning. And that's insane to me. Chris, thank you so much for joining us today.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  1:33  Well, Kirsten, thanks for that introduction. Thanks for having me. And Ron. Also, thanks to you for having me.Kirsten Mayfield  1:38  Now, I have to say you've got a very important other role you are the merit badge counselor for your boy scout troop, troop 156. Shout out to everybody that I'm sure the boys are all going to listen to this. So what are some of your favorite merit badges?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  1:55  Yes, um, well, I have a few my love all the citizenship in the nation in your community badges just because it really allows the young man because we only have men in our in our troop right now, to get out into their community and see how it works, who's behind it, learn about the village, how it runs. I also like the merit badges that speak to things that I really kind of like to do, I can one comes to mind is the art merit badge, which is really great. And you can do it virtually, which has been a plus, with a lot of the museums, giving access to certain exhibits or resonant exhibits that they have online.Kirsten Mayfield  2:36  That's so cool. You know, I okay, so I went to film on I love Boy Scouts, my little brothers both by Boy Scouts, my oldest little brother gotten his Eagle Scout, just tons of fun. But, uh, you know, I didn't think about how being in Boy Scouts and having these virtual opportunities during the pandemic, that's so lovely, and wonderful. And something that's like, if you're a parent, you're dealing with trying to get them to school and all this having the ability to do these extracurriculars. Virtually that's, that was probably like really good for those those kids.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  3:10  Yeah, I agree. Carson has kind of been a game changer was really last spring, when at least are part of our sliver of the world was really locked down. It gave something for our household, because I have two scouts to do and kind of, I don't want to say pass the time, but collectively work towards something that didn't relate to getting the schoolwork turned in, and the tests submitted. So it was definitely a silver lining and was wonderful that we were able to find ways to continue to move forward with the merit badges and go through the coursework in a virtual setting. And thanks to the museums, for instance, with respect to the art merit badge, and then you know the citizenship series of badges with the people who helped make our government local and state and federal Ron,Kirsten Mayfield  4:04  you almost sound like Leslie Knope with Parks and Rec with the community merit badgeCorinne Cantwell Heggie  4:09  too. I love that. People, I just think it's so important to understand how your community works. And, you know, the boys aren't paying taxes, but why there's this infrastructure. And then it always culminates when you're talking with me with the fact that we live in a democracy, that we are so privileged to have a vote and that you've got a vote. Got to do it.Kirsten Mayfield  4:33  Yeah. It's good, good skills to to embody people wentRon Bockstahler  4:38  well, I'm glad there was good scout activity going on during the lockdowns that we had going on.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  4:44  has a lot of great adults who give a lot of time and energy and guidance to these young men. And I mean, I'll just say it again. It was really nice, at least in our house to have something to work towards together. That was Fine, you were learning something but you didn't really know you were doing it and wasn't relatedRon Bockstahler  5:05  to, to school. Though I would say this past winter is the first time in at least four years that I haven't been out there polar bear camping trying to get those badges for the boys. SoCorinne Cantwell Heggie  5:16  Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, you don't even need a polar bear camp. I mean, I have two of my my guys are going camping this weekend. And ironically, we're talking about it last night at dinner. My middle guy said, you know, right before lockdown, they went to star rock, because it was a camp out weekend. And he froze his toes off, it was so cold. So you don't have to go look and fire for a polar bear experience, certainly in Illinois. What's north of 80?Ron Bockstahler  5:49  Let's jump into estate planning, having you on the show made me feel a little guilty as I haven't completed my estate planning documents, renewed estate planning documents. So talk to us about estate planning a little bit. And let's talk about how to get clients like me to actually complete the process.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  6:06  I love to talk about that, Ron. So thanks for asking. You know, I think estate planning is something that's a big behemoth, and maybe an elephant in the room for a lot of people. So when you work with our firm, we really try to make it easy and accessible for a couple of reasons. One, it's really not about your mortality, it's about your legacy. And making sure you have control of where your hard earned assets, whatever they are, get to where they need to go or where you want them to go. And to it estate planning. It's just not for high net worth, high tax bracket. People who are married, it couldn't be further from the truth. If you own property, I don't care if it's a savings account, I don't care if it's a 401k I don't care if it's a bond you received. For your first communion. There are tools for you to protect it to make sure one you can name someone to help you make decisions about that property. If you're living and you can't do it, and to where you want it to go when you're not here. So that's what we focus on at our office really helping people understand that it's, you know, kind of debunking it or flipping the script on estate planning, and trying to make it easy and accessible.Kirsten Mayfield  7:31  So in the the mode of that Ron says he hasn't gotten his stuff in order, I'm younger than him. I don't even like what is what is my property? What What do I have? Because I you know, I rent an apartment, I don't have land, I don't have a house. So to me, I don't need to get anything in order. But I do have the items you just mentioned.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  7:53  Yeah, so kearson a great tool for you would be a property power of attorney that would allow you to name someone you know, like and trust, to make decisions and help you manage that property. If you were living and you are unable to do it, that can be very powerful. There's a lot of wealth that is accumulated in deferred income plans. So 401 K's 403, B's, IRAs, SEP IRA, Sep 401, K's and even if you don't do trust planning, okay. With a power of attorney, you can name someone who can make decisions about that property about that wealth. If you're living in you can't do it yourself. I mean, that's huge. And in Illinois, that lawmakers have a form for you to follow.Kirsten Mayfield  8:51  I never thought about it, but like, let's say I was unable all of a sudden I you know, I would assume they'd say oh yeah, like husband can handle it. But that's not necessarily the case.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  9:04  Well, the law will tell you what batting order who's going to bat and when. But typically, these situations Kiersten and Ron are not like low stress, unemotional if someone is coming to have to make these decisions for you, or, or you know, you're out of commission. It's a it's a who's on first kind of situation. So with a property power of attorney, you can have that batting order set. So there's no confusion. But to your point Kiersten they might get to your husband, they might get to your parents, they might get to your adult child. But that's going to depend on how energized the person at your bank, the HR department at your employer, if it's an HR if it's an employer provided 401 K is energized to help your team how Spin family. And that means, you know, child, spouse, partner, whomever, get answers so they can get into the driver's seat.Kirsten Mayfield  10:11  Yeah. And that's the last thing anyone wants to do when they're trying to deal with their emotions and life that just drastically changed.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  10:20  Yeah, I agree. I mean, I see it, I know it. I know it. And even in situations where people have, you know, they've got their close with their siblings, or they, you know, they have a spouse. Every bank is different. And that's not bad or good. It's just a fact, every life insurance company is different, every HR department is different. Have the documents setup so that person knows where the document is. And two can say, here's the property power of attorney, here is the the representation that this person cannot make these decisions. I'm in the driver's seat, please send me anything you need for me to accept this role to put the hat on my head. But let's get rolling.Ron Bockstahler  11:03  So talk a little about how you infuse technology into your firm, because this is a personal area of law as it is for me, I mean, you know, I haven't done mine, because there's like 24 different documents, it's a little overwhelming, if I'm not sitting with my attorney in person going throughCorinne Cantwell Heggie  11:20  a grade. So we have tried to incorporate technology. And I will say we have. And for better or for worse, the pandemic helped us kind of normalize its use in terms of connecting and keeping up with clients, we are looking forward to being able to get back in person with our clients. But I think for legacy clients that have been with the firm, we brought them along, and they may have had that opportunity to talk with us and meet us in person. So it's just more getting them comfortable with. I'm still current over zoom, or I'm still Korean, over FaceTime. I'm still Korean and Google meets. And I do think where it's been something that has been normalized because of COVID. With new clients, right? New engagements, it's it might take one or two meetings, to see if we're going to be a fit for that person. And we recognize we're not a fit for everyone. But we found it to be extremely helpful and actually help us bring our clients align, not because we said hey, you've got to use technology, but because we got to be able to do this to help serve you. And we want to serve you.Ron Bockstahler  12:42  So in when we talk technology, are you using some kind of a secured? How do you share documents, I guess that's what I want to know,Corinne Cantwell Heggie  12:50  was secure was secured PDFs. I mean, we're on a cloud and our cloud is secured and backed up. So that's how we do file, you know, file management. And we do have when we're not we're not paperless, it would be great to be paperless. But our paper footprint, because we're in the cloud has greatly diminished. So with secure PDFs, and we leverage and if you know someone can't do a secure PDF, we'll do you know, we'll work with whatever platform they have. We're pretty nimble in that regard. We'll meet the we want it to be easy for the clients. So if they're using a different method, or they're comfortable with Dropbox, great, we'll go there if that's where you want to be,Ron Bockstahler  13:32  or what signatures are required in real estate planning documents.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  13:37  Yeah, so that's a great question. We were really lucky because in March of last year, Governor Pritzker signed a an emergency order to allow virtual notaries to take place, you know, there were about 10 criteria. And if you satisfy them, you were able to continue to, you know, do business with papers that require notarized signatures, that actually is that was codified and became law, which is great in July. A lot of documents they'll run still require what signatures but we leverage digital where we can, which is not, you know, it's not as many as that a closing like a real estate closing. But I still think if anyone's done a real estate closing the buyers because they're working with the lenders, most of the most of the time. They they have to be there and provide witness signatures on on, you know, two inch stack of documents, so they're not gone. Totally obsolete, but the virtual Notary has really helped kind of lower the lower the hurdle there. Yeah, I thinkRon Bockstahler  14:46  funny you mentioned buying a house we did we refight our condo, and they sent someone to our home to do all the documents, or at least they scheduled that but then at that period of time in the condos in Indiana You actually have have a witness. So they had to reschedule at his office, and we had to physically go there, which I thought was just crazy. But and I think they've since rescinded that law, you don't need a witness, but during that short period of time, how things change?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  15:17  Yeah, I mean, that's I will say, I am glad you brought up the witness piece rod. Because when people try and do it yourself, or go online and get these documents completed, you know, if you don't dot the i's and cross your T's and crossing a t would be witnesses, how many witnesses are required? What are the requirements for a witness? Right? That's where, you know, you can sign documents that might not necessarily work when you need them to.Ron Bockstahler  15:46  Let's talk about like, so we got a lot of attorneys listening. And that's one of the bigger issues where attorneys don't actually go and do their own estate planning documents don't have a living well, you know, what are the basic minimum that they at least need to have in place today, no matter what age they are?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  16:01  Right? Well, we've kind of talked about a property power of attorney which is going to allow you to name someone to handle your property via bank accounts. 401k is real estate, sign your tax return, if you're living and you cannot do it yourself. Staying in that property lane, a will is really important, even if you don't have children, because in Illinois, a will is where you will articulate or identify the guardians for your minor children. But more importantly, a will allows you to identify your property where you want it to go be at an individual individuals a charity, and when you're not here, and critically. So critically, identify an executor. And state that that executor if he or she or they have to go to court to probate an asset, they can be excused to have to pay a bond. I mean, the number three and four should probably be one and two, in the order of I mean, that is a huge, a huge way to eliminate confusion and asset depreciation, because you've got to pay the bond to get to court. And the judges often not going to excuse it, if it doesn't say in black and white, and you're well. So that's why I was important. And then I'm going to I'm going to switch into the healthcare lane not because I'm a doctor, but because you need to sign a healthcare power of attorney so you can name someone who can help your your medical team, make decisions for your medical treatment if you're living and you can't make those decisions yourself. So at the very least you need powers of attorney health care and property and a well.Ron Bockstahler  17:43  Yeah, the living will always someone to help the doctors because you don't want to put that pressure on your family members or, you know, that just a lot of stress to put on a family member lamportCorinne Cantwell Heggie  17:55  Yeah, well, well put, I can't that's it. So never easy. It's never not stressful, if someone has to make medical decisions for you.Ron Bockstahler  18:05  Let's kind of jump into you've built a great career. I guess, first of all, why did you go into this area of law?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  18:11  it's so rewarding to help people unravel a question or an issue that they have been unable to solve or haven't been able to get a practical answer to.Ron Bockstahler  18:24  Okay, did you practice in other areas? Because you were with the big firm prior to and on your way to your own firm with your husband?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  18:32  Right? Yeah, I've had the benefit and the great fortune, I think of working in a large national law firm, and then a a boutique majority women owned firm. And I've always enjoyed working with individuals. And I had along the way over my career, I've always done work with individuals, but because of the nature of where I practice, I did a lot of work with corporate legal departments. And, and in all lanes, the counseling, pre litigation, settlement and litigation. And I think that gives me an ability to see issues from a 360 degree standpoint. But I have to say from day one, it was always great to work with individuals or families or or business owners who you know, started the business or came into a business and and were able to make it soar and grow.Ron Bockstahler  19:28  In your career. you utilize you been very involved with Bar Association, your immediate past president of the woman's Bar Association of Illinois, can you let's talk about how that's helped your career. And what some attorneys that maybe aren't so involved, you know, why should they get involved? Yeah,Corinne Cantwell Heggie  19:44  I'd love to talk about the women's Bar Association of Illinois, Ron. It's an honor organization that's near and dear to my heart. I was a member when I, you know, was a newly licensed lawyer largely because of a wonderful capital partner at the first firm. That I worked at her name is Jennifer sander. She was in line to be the president of the organization. And she was always so gracious in terms of walking the floor where the associate SAT, and said, you know, the firm has a ticket for this, come join me. Come, you know, she, no pressure, if you can make it, let me know, I'll see you there. And whenever you came, she might have had 10,000 other people in the room she had to speak to. But she always was like, Chris, thank you for coming. I'm really glad you could be here. I never forgot that. I still keep in touch with Jennifer. And so that was a great impression. And, and I had the pleasure of being at the firm when she was the president of the women's Bar Association. So we got to go to a lot of events to meet a lot of really wonderful leaders, not only in the legal community, but in the in the in the larger community in Illinois.Ron Bockstahler  20:56  So it makes me think, when you first started, that's how you got in and your firm paid for. But what if you're a solo or a smaller firm? Is it worth paying for out of your pocket?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  21:08  I think it is, I think it absolutely has. And let me tell you why. Because bar associations, you know, help individual lawyers build muscles to network. And you know, if you're a solo fine yourself, or if you're a small, firm yourself in your firm, and then it creates a really natural platform for you to discuss what you do and why you love it. It's just that basic. And you know, when I say it to young lawyers or to individuals who are not sure, right, if they're going to pay out of pocket to continue, not only their membership with wb AI, but any other Bar Association, I always challenge them to think about that. That's not nothing.Kirsten Mayfield  21:55  And you also you, you said that you talk to Jennifer, and you keep in touch with her because of these personable skills, because she was a higher level person she came around she saw, like spoke to you as a human, she's looked you in the eye, she remembered you, those little micro skills. I feel like those are something you would probably be gaining from a bar association if you're not a solo attorney as well. Or if you are a solo attorney don't get those interactions.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  22:23  Absolutely. Kiersten. I mean, you're learning if you if you stick your hand up, and you and you join a Bar Association, I commend you. And I also would encourage you to join a committee or join an event committee or you know, a small group committee or go to a CLE. You're going to go there and you're going to, you know, maybe perfect your elevator pitch or learn to talk to people learn who who could be strategic partners for you. Who do you like? Who's going to be a colleague, if you just need to vent and you can't do it to a colleague at work or your you know, your significant other or your roommates? Yeah, there are so many soft skills that one can learn from joining a bar association and showing upKirsten Mayfield  23:06  showing up that's key, right. That's where people fail and think this isn't working for me.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  23:13  Yeah, I agree. I mean, absolutely. But, you know, I hear time and time again. And I remind people, because people told it to me. And my parents told us to me, no one's going to care as much about you and your career as you are.Ron Bockstahler  23:33  So youCorinne Cantwell Heggie  23:35  got to get into it, you got to lean into it, because it doesn't have to be 100% every day. But you've got to come back to that as your guiding your guiding post. And you got to lean into it, you got to stick your hand up. And you got to get comfortable. And I feel this way for particularly young women and men who are in large law firms, or mid sized law firms, you better get comfortable advocating for yourself or making asks, and I'm not saying coming out of the jump and saying I need a bigger bonus. If you don't have the hours, you know some good work done behind you mean you gotta get you got to learn your craft and you got to get your skills, you got to build up the ability to be like a legal ninja. But at the same time, you got to start sticking up your hand and asking for opportunities. What is the worst someone's going to say? No. Forget it fine. No, is just know for right now. It's not no forever.Kirsten Mayfield  24:33  Did you ever have a fear of no or was this like, yeah, here? Yeah, all the time.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  24:38  But so what? I was like, no one's gonna do this. If I don't do it. If I don't ask, no one's gonna be thinking Oh, Corrine would like to do this. I can see her at the end of this conference table. And I know she wants this opportunity.Ron Bockstahler  24:51  I think and I've been working for over 30 years, and I still have the fear no from time to time. SoCorinne Cantwell Heggie  24:57  yeah, I'm not saying like I love it. I haven't toRon Bockstahler  25:01  You mentioned committees, and I remember my first board position. And I think it was on that board for two years before I decided either get to get off the board or get involved. So I started joining committees. And it changed everything for me. I started getting involved with people differently. It was like, wow, why didn't I do this? from the get go? Yeah, raise your hand and advocate for yourself, get involved.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  25:25  But I think you raise a good point with that, Ron, I mean, you don't have to do it right away, you know, everyone's got an on ramp. And you've got to kind of get your sea legs, sea legs underneath you and kind of see what works, see if it's a fit for you. Right? If this, you know, a lot of times we join organizations, and we might not know, it's in the inner workings. But it takes a while. So give yourself grace to because this does not happen overnight.Kirsten Mayfield  25:49  So where did you like start in? Like, how did you approach it, because as a person who's more of an introvert, I could see myself joining a committee and then going to like, or going joining a bar association going to like one meeting and one thing and being like, not getting myself in there. So how did you embed yourself into this bar association? Because you obviously did it? Well, you became a president. Right?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  26:16  It's it. It was a it was a marathon, not a sprint. And that's why I say to really any lawyer, you know, you got to give yourself grace, when you're starting something new, or trying to advocate for yourself, you've got to get your voice and you got to get practice. But I was active and in more so going to events for the social piece, when I was a younger lawyer. And then candidly, you know, when I started having children, I mean, it was, um, Bar Association work went on the back burner, because there just wasn't enough time in the day for me as I saw it, and I did try to do at least one thing that was, or two things that were business development, networking every day, Monday through Friday, even through when I was, you know, expecting my children and on maternity leave. Did I hit every day? No, but I really tried to do that. So I had to take a little step back. And I have to say that if it hadn't been for my younger son, one of my younger sister, who also is a lawyer, she had just passed the bar and was just getting kind of into the Bar Association, because I had done it. And she was great. I mean, she would just show up, it was just after I had my third, my third, my third son. And she's like I saw, I'm in the lobby of your building. And john knows you're with me. So I'll see you in five minutes.Kirsten Mayfield  27:41  She set it up for you. She was just like, You're coming with me.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  27:45  So that was a great, but it didn't take I mean, she had to do it maybe two or three times. And I was like, okay, she's right. Because I do remember, at the time, working in a large, firm, and, you know, just like standing outside my office bank, waiting at the printer, and just thinking, wow, everyone here is smiling and happy. And their hair is washed andKirsten Mayfield  28:10  the little things.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  28:12  And I kind of felt a little bit isolated. Now listen, that's all me, that's all me. But it was really great to get back and be active at the women's Bar Association because I went to these events. And I was like, these are my people.Kirsten Mayfield  28:27  And you had a person in your life who knew it and she was like, driving for you. Because while you say, and it's great advice from your dad, no one's gonna advocate for you, basically, other than you. When you do build those colleagues friendships and obviously sisters, you're born best friends. Yeah, I mean, I've got an older sister. We're just Yeah, but once you build them, they do help you when you're you're not able to help yourself as much. SoCorinne Cantwell Heggie  28:53  yeah, you need a hype team. Yeah.Kirsten Mayfield  28:56  That's a great way to have it. Okay. So checklist as a young attorney, build a hype team.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  29:02  You do and I'll make you easier and I'll help you be accountable. But like in a fun, nice way. Yeah.Ron Bockstahler  29:08  Let's lead into why you are the president at the woman's Bar Association of Illinois. You are the bar celebrated 100 years of suffrage right women's rights to vote.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  29:19  That's right. We celebrated the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendments passage which gave women the rightRon Bockstahler  29:26  to vote. And what did you do? That was outstanding. I know you work with other associations or the bars. Will you talk about toot your own horn a little bit about what you did there?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  29:36  Well, so that year, we did a lot of partnering with bar associations not only at the local level, but at the national level. So we did a we celebrated the passage of the 19th amendment with a luncheon that we partnered with the black women Lawyers Association of Greater Chicago And the Illinois state bar associations, women's group. And so we jointly put on the event. It was a full house. And we were lucky enough to have two federal district court judges engaged engage in a fireside chat. During the luncheon. It was Chief Judge Rebecca pahlmeyer. And judge Sharon Johnson Coleman. So that was wonderful. That was kind of the kickoff event, not so much for the 19th amendment, but just for the solidarity for the legal community. The women's Bar Association partnered with lag back and then Alliance Bernstein to put on the first diversity and inclusion, accredited CLE in Illinois, in July of 2019, around the issue of the law, and what it says and does and what it means for our transgender colleagues, not only lawyers, but just the transgender community at large. So that was, um, we were supported by the Chicago Chamber of Commerce as well. So that was really powerful partnerships. And then finally, right before, right before lockdown, we had a spring summit for women in the law. And we partnered with the American Bar Association's Commission on women in the profession. Do you have a day long event that Chief Judge palmyre hosted at the Dirksen building, where we tackled, you know, issues that are unique to women, as they matriculate through their legal career, and I kicked off the event moderating a panel that was that included Paulette Brown, who is a powerhouse and just a wonderful lawyer and person. And she is the Chief Diversity and Inclusion officer lac Lord. And Kelly Corley, who was just retired from the position of General Counsel for division, discover financial services located in river woods. And we talk about two women who, who live every single day, not even probably thinking about it now, trying to make the legal profession better, not only for women, but for everyone who's who is practicing. And regardless of where they're practicing, be a legal department, a law firm, public interest, a government entity.Ron Bockstahler  32:36  So we only got a couple minutes left. So one thing I want to touch on and kind of get your input some of the younger attorneys listening is your How can we break the glass ceiling on women and minorities that are kind of getting started today? What can they do to maybe change the way it's been?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  32:54  I think you have to stick your hand up and ask and then grab each other's hands and move together. Because together we will go farther, and not to I don't want people young lawyers to ignore their unique characteristics that they bring to the profession. So very important. But there's so much good that can be done if you reach across the aisle and grab the hands of other people who are similarly situated, or maybe not similarly situated to advocate for each other. Okay.Kirsten Mayfield  33:31  So just one more question. Why did you go into that women owned law firm? Was it more organic? Or was it I want to be surrounded by like minded women in law?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  33:47  Yeah, that's a good question to your son. I wanted to see how law was practice in a in a in a smaller setting. And it was very organic. The one of the founding partner, Stephanie Scharf, had been introduced to me by one of the at the time Chief Diversity Officer f law firm, where I was practicing Leslie Richards, Yellin, who was a wonderful, wonderful woman, a wonderful human being, that I'm very lucky to have ever had the pleasure of calling a partner. And they had a need, and I had a curiosity, and it was a fit. In that regard. I also knew that I was going to kind of be able to take my networking and my client book building skills to another level. I was doing it collaboratively with other women to kind of hone more of an authentic voice. That's not to say that I wasn't doing it authentically. I worked with a lot of men and that was, you know, listen, I had a lot of male sponsors. A lot of male cheerleaders at my firm. I have a cheerleader and my husband. So there wasn't anything I didn't think I could do, but I didn't do a lot Business Development with other women. And so I knew there was going to be a little bit of an, I wanted to know more about that. And I knew, in addition to being able to do great legal work at a boutique firm, I would be able to probably kind of deepen that skill and hone that skill in a different way. Which proven which proved to be the case.Kirsten Mayfield  35:20  That's amazing. I, you know, you don't always think about these things. But it is very, like, it seems like if you get you started at a bar association, you started with women, you just put yourself into that world. And you said it was an organic move into something that allowed you to achieve, which is an awesome and goal working with your husband every day, being a partner with him. And I think that just it's lovely talking to people like you who are just showing the different paths, because I think when you're just trying to make it yourself, it would just seem impossible. So thank you for talking to us about it's, it's great to hear.Corinne Cantwell Heggie  35:59  Well, thank you for having me. And I just want everyone to know that I had a lot of setbacks. A lot of times it's a jungle gym, take five steps back 20 steps forward, two steps sideways, and you might fall off. But if you stay committed to putting yourself first and advocating for yourself, doing good work, learning your craft, of course, sky's the limit.Ron Bockstahler  36:24  Let's, let's kind of finish up with our last question. What's the one thing in the business of law you'd like to see change over the next five years?Corinne Cantwell Heggie  36:32  I want tech. And I know everyone who comes all your guests are saying mess. But I feel like from the estate planning world, I can say I want tech to be here to stay to help us be able to not only connect with our clients, partners, but connect with our clients. And I don't want in person to go away. But I want it to become completely normalized.Ron Bockstahler  36:56  I think we're all on board with that. Definitely want to see that happen. I know just in my life. There's some things that the pandemic has actually brought you into my life that I don't want to lose a grade that I love working. I'm in my house right now. And I got five young kids, it a lot easier to spend more time with them when I'm traveling every day of the week. So a great,Unknown Speaker  37:19  a great. Well,Ron Bockstahler  37:21  Brian, what's the best way for our listeners to get a hold of you? I know most of our business is coming 80% of our business is coming from other attorneys.

My dear brothers and sisters, we are into the 5th. week of Lent and the song for this podcast is, ‘Father, Forgive Them'. This song is about the last words of Jesus when He was Crucified, and again, this song also was deeply haunting my inner self until it came alive in me. My brothers and sisters, another deep soul searching prayer. Jesus gave his life for you and for me. Would we do the same? Would you give your life for your friends? Would I give my life for my friends? We like to think we would, we may even answer quickly and without hesitation, yes. But when I ponder on what our Lord Jesus went through for each and every one of us, I can not help but think that I would not be strong enough to. I desperately pray that the strength of Jesus enters my body and soul, so that I may be able to give my life for my friends. I know there is no greatest love then this. The Gospel tells us in John, chapter 15, verse 13. Jesus says, Quote: “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.” Unquote. Each year during Lent, the church reads from the New Testament about the Crucifixion of Jesus. We hear those last seven sayings Jesus spoke as He hung there on the Cross. Not one Gospel writer will give us all seven sayings Jesus spoke, however, each of the four Apostles combined tells the story on the Crucifixion of Jesus.

The upward life. We will move forward; we will grow inward when we are fully surrendered upward. by Pastor George Lehman Proverbs 15:24 (LB) – The road of the godly leads upward, leaving hell behind. Philippians 3:14 (ESV) – I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. One of the most frequent prayers we can pray is: Psalm 51:10 – Create in me a clean heart oh God; and renew a right spirit within me. Why did David pray this prayer? His heart was not in the right condition. Renew: Resume – after an interruption Renew a right spirit = this prayer requires action to change Psalm 19:14 (NIV) - May these words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. David prayed this prayer with sincerity. His desire was to please God. (His upward life) This prayer is key to momentum in our lives to keep our upward relationship right. There is a supernatural confidence, expectancy and peace that comes, when we have a clean heart, a clear conscience, and a right spirit before God. Job 17:9 (LB) – the righteous shall move onward and forward; those with pure hearts shall become stronger and stronger. Forward and Onward = speaks of progress The truth is: A pure heart shall become stronger and stronger.  It will bring increased strength to your life and your upward relationship. It’s so important that we are honest with ourselves. That, in itself, opens many doors for God to move in our hearts and spirit. Admit where you have gone wrong or where it has led you astray.  Then do what you have to do to stay free. (As David did) Matthew 5:8 – Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God. Keep true to God’s word.  Never be ashamed of doing right. Don’t compromise your upward relationship to fit in or be accepted on the outward. Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it. Right is right, even if only you are doing it. We already know what is right – make a choice to stick to it. Quote: No power in the world can keep a first-class child of God down or a third class child of God up. When it comes to not stretching your life, there’s always a high cost to low living. Give God the place of supremacy in your heart. The upward call means death to your ‘self-life’. Philippians 3:14 (Amp) – I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. The strength of your upward call consists in finding out the way God is going and going that way. Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) – The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delights in his way. Proverbs 4:25-26 (LB) – 25 Look straight ahead; don’t even turn your head to look. 26 Watch your step. Stick to the path and be safe. You need to pay more attention to the things that are working positively and uplifting in your life. Isaiah 26:3-4 (LB) – 3 He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord! 4 Trust in the Lord God always, for in the Lord Jehovah is your everlasting strength. We can never allow ourselves to ever stop looking upward. There is so much more of the glory of Jesus we haven’t seen. We must hunger for this because that’s the image the Holy Spirit seeks to transform us into. So much: Stronger and stronger. Deeper and deeper Fruit, more fruit and abundant fruit Progress and growth. If you desire for God to be pleased with you until the end of your days…. …keep looking upward. Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NIV) – Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. The journey is finished only when you’re finished.

Not only has Karin taught English as a Second Language in elementary, middle and high school, as well as university settings, she has also taught and lived in several countries throughout the world. I am thankful I got to know Karin during the last 3 years while teaching at The Immigrant and Refugee Center of Northern Colorado. Obviously, Karin has a huge, tender heart towards the people to whom she devotes her life. She is constantly wanting to adapt and adjust her lessons to the needs of her current students. She stays abreast of on-going social and political climates in order to stay sensitive to what may be happening in her students' native countries as well as how the laws of our country affect them. As you just heard, teaching is more than just grammar...it is about embracing and empowering the whole person. When a student feels valued, heard, and respected, the learning flows naturally. Karin actively works at enabling these deeper connections with  her students. The word that comes to mind when I think of Karin is the word: awareness. Ekhart Tolle, a teacher of awareness, has the most simple yet relevant quote that strikes me as the way Karin lives her life: "Awareness is the greatest agent for change."Karin's Quote: "No matter where you go, there you are."

Have you also built a prison for yourself, instead of a life? When Curt Mercadante realized that he had built a magnificent business and booming agency that was imprisoning him and leaving him without the time or the frame of mind to be present for his family, he shut it down overnight and went touring in Europe.  In this episode, Curt discusses how to ensure that you are mentally and emotionally healthy, not just financially secure. We dive deep into the scarcity vs abundance mindset, the basements and balconies of your personal strengths and the values and vilifications of different social media platforms. Plus we discuss Curt's struggle of ensuring that you have provided enough value for your clients without compromising your emotional wellbeing. This is episode is sure to give you an awful lot of food for thought.  My Guest: Curt MercadanteCurt left the “corporate” 9-to-5 world at age 30 to start his own agency. He scaled it up to a consistent 7 figure agency over 13 years. After four years of running that agency, he was overwhelmed and frustrated. He felt like he had built a prison instead of a business and was working all the time. Curt decided to fired half of his clients, began to charge more for his services and built an outcomes-focused strategy that allowed him to be truly productive and that gave him freedom.  But when his father died in 2012, Curt realized he lacked fulfillment. A few years later, at peak revenue, he shut down his agency overnight to turn his side hustle of coaching into a full-time career. Now, he's moved beyond coaching to run a media, speaking and lifestyle transformation company aimed at fighting apathy and conformity — and helping individuals fight for lives of freedom and fulfillment. Curt's speeches and training empower individuals to live their Freedom Lifestyle and he also hosts the popular Freedom Club Podcast. Episode Highlights:06:17: I ended up firing half of my clients, increasing my prices, and hiring a team around me. And I doubled my revenue. 14:18: The worst is when people passive-aggressively rebel against the expectations that were only in their own head to begin with. 19:26: I have this job offer, I'm going to take it. Wait a second, does that fit the vision you have for your life? Just because the landscaping is better at that prison doesn't mean it's a better life. 25:17: He was listening to the news and found out that the police officers didn't have bulletproof vests and they were getting gunned down. He called his buddy, he had these friends and he gets off the phone and he turns around, he's like, “Yeah, I got like 50 bulletproof vests that are getting donated.” 32:57: Let's be radically transparent. We started a blog where we started talking about everything, not just related to the lawsuits and all that, but the employes, like the hot dog eating contest they had on a Friday to raise money for their employee who had cancer. 39:08: Twitter is a street corner, which is where all the gossip spreads. It's where everyone will say something, say a barb and move on. But it spreads like wildfire right? Nothing else is like that. So anyone who doesn't want to be vilified, stay off Twitter. 45:33: All these strengths have balconies and basements. The balcony is like when you're using your superpowers for good. Your basement is when your strength gets in your way. 49:54: Estie: What is the struggle? Curt: Yeah, it's that I never think I'm giving enough for what someone's paying. It's a constant struggle.

When a guitarist comes on stage, he wants to play his own guitar. He wants his own tool to perform his own art. Should DJing be any different? The DJ industry has changed over time, where “club standard” or “industry standard” means less and less, and people are bringing their own setups to shows. Sometimes, this is out of necessity (i.e. this is “what I learned on”), and sometimes it's actually a prerequisite of their type of performance. For example, if you play stripped-apart techno music and you're heavily reliant on Traktor Remix Decks for your sound, it might be a problem for you to play on a strict Pioneer Nexus setup. In episode 41, we go over the complaints on either side of the fence. Some people say that a DJ should learn to use “the real deal” The benefit of having an industry standard is that there is a universal setup that touring DJs can use, and have a solid and familiar setup when they get to the gig. Yet, some acts (DJ Craze is given as example, later in this episode) tour with their own entire setups anyway. It's a much different climate than 10+ years ago, when Techs and a Pioneer mixer were what you mixed on, period. As a jumping-off point for the conversation, Trip brings in a recent article published on Magnetic Mag, titled What It Says To Be Using A Controller In The Club. http://www.magneticmag.com/2016/04/what-it-says-to-be-using-a-controller-in-the-club/ Note: we use the article to stimulate conversation and not to tear it apart, thanks to Magnetic Mag While we understand why the industry is in the state it's in, and why some people bring their own setups to play in front of large crowds, we also get the point which is made in the article. Quote: “No matter how talented you are on a controller, coming into a major nightclub and asking the technician, other DJ, or promoter to move the gear that's already set up just to plug in your S4 is seen as an amateur move. For one thing, it's a hassle for them, because controllers aren't very small as I'm sure you know. Sometimes they even put the controller directly on top of the CDJ/DJM layout, but that makes it harder for the next DJ to smoothly come in at the end of your set.” We understand the frustrations of sound techs and stage managers, when it comes to catering to individual specific needs. Tony said he even worked at a festival, where some riders even required a classic CDJ-2000 setup vs. a CDJ-2000NXS setup. So, there were two nearly-identical setups in order to accommodate the headliners. It makes one wonder… how far do we want to take this? The conversation also moves into related topics, such as the ways that geographic location and the size/strength of your local scene might affect the way that you make purchasing decisions when it comes to DJ gear. We even speculate as to how the accessibility of varied and cheaper hardware may have allowed a revitalization of smaller scenes. So, does the use of controllers in clubs and large-scale festivals make us look like amateurs? Or is this just a sign of the times? What is the way forward? All this, and more, in this week's episode of the Passionate DJ Podcast. Leave your comments below and let us know what you think!

  Peter Morales - The visible spokesperson for Unitarian Universalism Rising quickly from member to Seminarian, to religious leader and becoming UUA President, Peter Morales shares his passion for the future of Unitarian Universalism. Here are some of the quotables taken from this episode: -The largest religious group of people 35 and under is nothing (the nones.) This is a change from 12%-35% in the last century. -Our religious cousins in nearly 8 yrs have lost up to 1/4 of there members. -We are about where we were 10 yrs ago, less the past 3 yrs a 1% decline/yr. Although it's a bit misleading because 35%-40% of congregations are growing, 35% are declining and others in the middle are treading water.   -You went (to church) out of a sense of habit or obligation, those days are over . -Nothing is stable right now, the ones (congregations) with leadership will thrive, and others that are missing leadership will not thrive. It's about learning how to reach out to those 10s of millions who have become skeptical -Church has become a bad brand. Because of  how people associate with it we have to find a way of reaching and engaging people beyond what we do in Sunday morning programming -So what's the solution? it's a problem with no obvious solution -How do we adapt to a new environment? -Interfaith work. We've never reached out as a faith organizations. There will be  more work in the coming year and is the future in this area. We can do it more easily than one of the other progressive faith communities can and I want us to live in to that possibility -We're multifaith at our core, theologically, so we're natural people to lead and convene this effort. Bio: The Rev. Peter Morales is the eighth president of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). He was elected in June 2013 to a second four-year term. Prior to his election, Morales served as the senior minister at Jefferson Unitarian Church in Golden, Colorado. From 2002 to 2004, Morales was the UUA Director for District Services. He has also served on the UUA Board of Trustees, as trustee from the Mountain Desert District, and on the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association (UUMA) Executive Committee, as the first person to carry its anti-racism, anti-oppression, multiculturalism portfolio. Before entering the ministry, Morales was a Fulbright lecturer in Spain, a newspaper editor and publisher in Oregon, a Knight International Press Fellow in Peru, and a regional manager in California state government. Morales grew up in San Antonio, Texas. He graduated with a B.A. from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, in 1967. He earned his M.Phil in American Studies from the University of Kansas in 1976 and his M.Div. from the Starr King School for the Ministry in Berkeley, California, in 1999.

 Luciferian New Age Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan in the 1960's in San Francisco, said that it is not necessary to worship the red demon or perform rituals such as black masses to be a Satanist. LaVey also said that followers of the New Age movement are satanists, who just do not realize it yet. "Lucifer comes to give us the final … Luciferic initiation … Quote: "No one will enter the New World Order... unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation."- David Spangler Director of Planetary Initiative United Nations
