Fresh off the sale of Mommybites, an online resource for expectant parents, Rebecca Dixon invested her background in media sales and community building in the*gameHERS, a long-overdue social-networking platform for female gamers. A lifelong fan of math, Rebecca breaks down the essential formula that inspires their crowdfund: in terms of the overall market value, gaming > 2(music + movies). We talk about how their community has grown to over 600,000 in under three years (hint: talk to them), setting an entrepreneurial example for her tween daughters, and the perplexing double standard of how moms and dads are judged as parents. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/successfully-funded/message

For all the talk about what's in “Build Back Better” recovery legislation that Democrats are trying to move through Congress, one thing that's not currently in the bill, in what many workers' advocates say is a glaring omission, is anything to do with Unemployment Insurance—which was badly in need of a refresh long before the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure that when workers lose a job, they have the protection they need.  In fact, workers' advocates and progressive think tanks have been ringing the alarm bells for years about how few jobless workers were protected by our UI system. The pre-pandemic share of jobless workers actually helped by UI in their time of need? Just 1 in 4, a record low. One of the most important lessons from the pandemic is without question the structural failings in America's Unemployment Insurance system—gaps that were in many cases briefly filled by temporary expansions of jobless protections that have since been allowed to expire, leaving millions of still-jobless workers with less than they need to get by, or worse, nothing at all to keep them and their families afloat. For a look at the state of Unemployment Insurance now that recent expansions have been allowed to run out, what jobless workers are facing right now, and the long-needed UI fixes that workers' advocates are hoping might still be included in upcoming recovery legislation… for this week's Off-Kilter, Rebecca sat down with a panel of UI experts and advocates who have been leading the charge: Rebecca Dixon, executive director of the National Employment Law Project; Andy Stettner, senior fellow at The Century Foundation; and Stephanie Freed, a freelancer turned UI organizer who founded and serves as the executive director of Extend PUA, which has organized tens of thousands of jobless workers in the fight to extend federal UI expansions during the pandemic. Read Rebecca Dixon's statement on why UI reforms must be included in “Build Back Better” recovery legislation  Read more from Andy Stettner on the 7.5 million jobless workers who went over a UI benefits cliff on Labor Day Learn more about the story behind ExtendPUA.org—and how Stephanie Freed went from being a freelancer to organizing tens of thousands of jobless workers Jobless benefits protected 4.7 million people from poverty in 2020, according to NELP analysis Here's a deep dive into how workers' advocates say UI needs to be fixed (by NELP and allies) And here's an op-ed Rebecca (Vallas) wrote early in the pandemic about Florida's broken-by-design UI system

“Gaming and the metaverse” has become a fascinating topic in the industry, with titles like Fortnite leading the charge in what a true gaming metaverse should look like. Go-to pop culture references include The Matrix and Ready Player One's OASIS. Developers are working to create something more than a game but less than the real world, with an experience and value that you can take anywhere. Join hosts Rebecca Dixon, Alex Hutchi, and Crystal Mills as they explore what the metaverse is, what games are embracing the definition, and what we can all expect in the future.

Not one, but all four of the co-founders join Amy Jo on the show this week!   Heather, Laura, Rebecca, and Verta created the*gameHERs because, when they Googled a community for female gamers, nothing came up. They saw a need in the gaming space to amplify women. Almost half of gamers identify as women, but the speaking panels at most gaming conventions are dominated by men.   The co-founders tell Amy Jo they’re passionate about creating an inclusive space in gaming and business, as it’s so important that traditionally marginalized communities are represented in spaces where there is profit to be made. Heather, Laura, Rebecca, and Verta realized their work goes deeper than a service that makes life a little easier. the*gameHERs provides a community that has changed people's lives. The co-founders also talk about the*gameHERs Awards, lessons they keep learning, the ups and downs of starting a business, and building a company that feels uniquely right to you.   Learn more about the*gameHERS Follow the*gameHERS on Twitch Follow the*gameHERS on Instagram   Super Coffee is hooking up Why Not Now? listeners with an exclusive 25% discount on all products!

Then, on Your Rights At Work, Kathy Newman talks about the workers who make your favorite holiday movies possible. We stay with the workers behind the movies as OnWriting, a screenwriting podcast from the Writers Guild of America, East, talks with Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines, and Peter Baynham — the co-writers of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm — about why they decided to revisit the iconic character, how intense it was to film that now-infamous Rudy Giuliani scene, and the reality of filming in very dangerous situations.   And since this is Christmas week, we've got a special treat for you, the first part of A Red Carol, from the San Francisco Mime Troupe. This brand-new radio drama returns to the working-class roots of Charles Dickens' classic holiday story of greed and redemption, along with a few labor songs.   Speaking of which, our bonus tracks this week are Rudolph the Union Reindeer and Organize Organize Organize, both sung by Ariana Eakle Blockmon, a member of IBEW Local 124.

In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, our unemployment numbers are simply devastating. Millions of people are suddenly without an income and may be without health insurance in the midst of a pandemic. The human costs of this economic dislocation are profound. What can we do to help individuals who are unexpectedly out of work? We turn to Rebecca Dixon, Executive Director of the National Employment Law Project and the newest member of our Advisory Council, to talk about unemployment insurance—how it works, who it helps, and how it might better meet the needs of the people who find themselves in need in our current crisis. During this live Q&A discussion, participants had the opportunity to ask questions about unemployment insurance in this fast-changing situation. The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy. We recognize that race, gender, and place intersect with and intensify the challenge of economic inequality and we address these dynamics by advancing an inclusive vision of economic justice. For over 25 years, EOP has focused on expanding individuals' opportunities to connect to quality work, start businesses, and build economic stability that provides the freedom to pursue opportunity.

In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, our unemployment numbers are simply devastating. Millions of people are suddenly without an income and may be without health insurance in the midst of a pandemic. The human costs of this economic dislocation are profound. What can we do to help individuals who are unexpectedly out of work? We turn to Rebecca Dixon, Executive Director of the National Employment Law Project and the newest member of our Advisory Council, to talk about unemployment insurance—how it works, who it helps, and how it might better meet the needs of the people who find themselves in need in our current crisis. The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy. We recognize that race, gender, and place intersect with and intensify the challenge of economic inequality and we address these dynamics by advancing an inclusive vision of economic justice. For over 25 years, EOP has focused on expanding individuals' opportunities to connect to quality work, start businesses, and build economic stability that provides the freedom to pursue opportunity.
