Is there a formula for doing and publishing research on digital phenomena? And if so, it is the same formula as the scripts for IS papers of the past, or has it changed? We discuss how our field has historically worked with reference theories from other disciplines and how we have moved beyond this one way of doing and publishing research to a variety of ways in which we can build theory about digital phenomena. We suggest that reference theories should not be viewed as immutable sacred cows but rather as a tentative basis of received wisdom, which we must problematize and adapt to move knowledge forward. Doing so requires us to find puzzles in the real world that point to things being different instead of new. Episode reading list Truex, D. P., Holmström, J., & Keil, M. (2006).

In this episode, you'll learn: Why the concept of hell might be more about control than truth How fear-based faith blocks real spiritual growth What it actually means to reclaim your beliefs in a way that serves you What happens when the foundation of your beliefs starts to crack? When the things you were raised to accept without question suddenly don't make sense? Maybe you've felt it—that moment when your gut tells you something is off, but everything in you resists pulling the thread. Because you know if you do, the whole thing might unravel. I know that moment well. I was raised to believe certain things were absolute. Hell. Sin. Salvation. The idea that if you followed the rules, you were safe—and if you didn't, eternal torment was waiting. No room for debate. No space for doubt.  And to be honest, I always had questions. But for a long time, I was afraid to ask them. I thought maybe I wasn't one of the chosen ones because I had them in the first place. That fear kept me in line. It made me second-guess my own thoughts. It made me wonder if I was broken for not being able to just believe like everyone else seemed to. At the same time, the loudest voices in religion seem more concerned with power than with actual connection to God. It's not just about personal belief anymore. It's politics. It's legislation. It's shaping entire systems. And the question is—are we willing to look at it for what it really is? Today, our guest is Brian Recker—a former pastor who went through his own deep reckoning with faith. He spent years unraveling harmful religious teachings, redefining spirituality outside of fear, and helping others reclaim their beliefs in a way that actually leads to freedom.

Masculinity built on dominance leaves men stuck in a cycle of insecurity and disconnection. John sat down with Brian Recker to unpack the false masculinity that keeps men trapped and explore how breaking free from patriarchy leads to something real.   Brian, a former evangelical pastor turned social media voice, shared his journey of challenging the outdated expectations placed on men. They talked about why traditional masculinity so often revolves around dominance and how that pressure keeps men from forming real connections. Patriarchy doesn't just harm women and marginalized communities. It also forces men into rigid roles that suppress emotion, vulnerability, and self-acceptance.   Brian opened up about what it took for him to step away from those limiting beliefs and embrace a healthier, more authentic version of manhood. He offers a powerful perspective on strength, one built on empathy, mutual respect, and the freedom to be fully human. This episode is a call to rethink what masculinity really means and create space for something better.   Quotes “For a lot of people, I think masculinity is defined by dominance. And so even the idea of equality is threatening to masculinity, because equality obviously is not dominance, right? So to have equality for men who find their masculinity in being dominant, to be equals is a threat to their masculinity, because they need to feel that aggressive dominance in order to feel like real men.” (05:46 | Brian Recker) “Whenever you have an oppressive system, not only the victims of that oppression, but even the oppressors themselves are not free. In patriarchy, men cannot be their full selves.” (16:42 | Brian Recker) “Queer people, especially, have given me permission to be my full self, even though I am straight. I think queer people learn earlier in life than many that, Hey, you know what, I'm going to have to be me or I'm going to die. If I don't ultimately embrace who I really am, I can't keep conforming to this mold because it doesn't fit me.” (17:55 | Brian Recker)  “Jesus was hated by the religious establishment because of who he included, not who he excluded, not who he dominated, not who he sought to be superior over, but for who he brought in and gathered to himself.” (29:07 | Brian Recker)  “Being loved for being at the top of a hierarchy is not the same as being loved for being who you are.” (46:37 | Brian Recker)   Links Connect with Brian Recker: www.instagram.com/berecker www.brianrecker.com   Dance Dad with John Corella Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheonlyDanceDadwithJohnCorella Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dancedadwithjohncorella/ John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_corella/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Is the journal publishing process and the “game” around journal publishing forcing us to give up on big ideas and instead work on small ideas about trivial matters? We are not so sure. We think that science needs many different types of academics, and they have all sorts of different ideas, big and small, and we need outlets for expressing every single one of them. But outlets, like ideas, are not all equal. Journals are an incremental genre leaning toward rigor and thus risk type-2 errors. Book are an expansive genre learning towards big ideas – and thus risk type-1 errors. So the question is rather what type of scholar you are and whether you can handle the very different processes and mechanisms – those associated with big ideas that take a long time to develop, versus the production of smaller ideas and insights that incrementally push our knowledge forward.

Look at what Santa dropped when he came down the chimney last night. A bunch of valuable ThisISResearch Best paper Awards! As we do at the end of every year, we look back at the finest information systems scholarship our field has produced this year, and we pick some of our favorite papers that we want to give an award too. Like in previous years, we recognize three different kinds of best papers – a paper that is innovative in its use of research methods, a paper that is a fine example of elegant scholarship, and a paper that is trailblazing in the sense that it starts new conversations in our field.

What do academics have to offer that practitioners do not already have? They have the data academics want. They can analyse it by themselves, sometimes better than academics. They are also not reading our articles. So why would academics bother engaging with them? Why should we even bridge that perceived or existing gap between theory and practice? Because academics need to dip their toes into practice, and they need to mingle with industry to stay relevant. So says Jonny Holmström, director and co-founder of the Swedish Center for Digital Innovation. He has been at the forefront of doing academic research that blends theory and practice, rigor and relevance, and he knows a thing or two about how to do so successfully. His secret? Maximize the gap between academics and practitioners, don't close it. References Holmström, J., Magnusson, J., & Mähring, M. (2021).

You set up an assumption, you have a theory, you analyze your data, and you show that the assumption does not hold. Doing good qualitative research is that simple. Except that it's not, of course. On the ground, in the research and writing process, these basic rules can be quite tricky to implement. So we discuss some heuristics researchers can use to limit their conversants, settle on suitable theoretical lenses to examine their data, and collecting more data than what they thought was necessary.   References Geertz, C.

Did you know there is someone who published a MIS Quarterly paper in its inaugural issue in 1977 and has another one forthcoming in 2024? Hard to fathom but has published at least one paper in our top journal in every decade of its existence. Izak has been doing IS scholarship for almost fifty years, which makes him the perfect researcher to talk to about how the field has changed, where it is going, whether we are progressing well, and whether we maintain the optimal balance between social and technical, internal and external views of IS phenomena in our research.

Leviticus 16 - Atonement - Tyler Recker - 11 - 03 - 2024 by NewBranch

On Clean Water Wednesday today, we're checking in on the farm with Tim Recker; looking at his harvest, drought conditions, and the planting and growth of cover crops on his land.

In this episode of Everyday Practices Dental Podcast, hosts Regan Robertson, Dr. Maggie Augustyn and Dr. Chad Johnson sit down with Dr. Eric Recker, a dentist and life coach, to explore the critical issue of burnout and work-life balance in the dental profession. Dr. Recker shares his personal journey and introduces his “dam analogy,” offering practical strategies for managing energy, avoiding burnout, and finding fulfillment.

Editorials are spaces in journals where the key stewards of the field leave advice for others about what type of research the journals they lead are looking to publish. We discuss some of our favorite editorials and dissect the advice to dish out for finding important research problems, theorizing effectively, and writing persuasively. References Rai, A. (2016).

Conceptual papers that offer new theories are hard to write and even harder to publish. You do not have empirical data to back up your arguments, which makes the papers easy to reject in the review cycle. We are also typically not well trained in theorizing, and there isn't even a clear process to theorizing we could learn or follow. Does that mean that we shouldn't even try to write theory papers? We ponder these questions, figure out what is so hard in writing conceptual papers – and share a few tricks that might help if you still wanted to write such a paper.  References Berente, N., Gu, B., Recker, J., & Santhanam, R.

Did you know that when you spend time on an online platform, you could be experiencing between six to eight different experimental treatments that stem from several hundred A/B tests that run concurrently? That's how common digital experimentation is today. And while this may be acceptable in industry, large-scale digital experimentation poses some substantial challenges for researchers wanting to evaluate theories and disconfirm hypotheses through randomized controlled trials done on digital platforms. Thankfully, the brilliant has a new paper forthcoming that illuminates the orthogonal testing plane problem and offers some guidelines for sidestepping the issue. So if experiments are your thing, you really need to listen to what is really going on out there. References Abbasi, A., Somanchi, S., & Kelley, K. (2024).

We are back with the usual dose of fortnightly folksy academic wisdom sprinkled in with some serious and substantive conversations. We kick this new season off by discussing observations we made at this year's Academy of Management conference in Chicago. We talk about how to get the most out of doctoral and junior faculty consortia, how to pick which session to go to, how papers get reviewed at conferences, which papers tend to get selected for presentation – and how to use your session as a platform to pitch your work and yourself and finish with a crescendo and a mic drop.

Episode #390: Welcome to the Let's Go Win podcast! In this episode, JM Ryerson sits down with Dr. Eric Recker, a multifaceted individual who wears many hats: dentist, husband, father, keynote speaker, Elite Success Coach, author, pilot, mountain climber, and recovering triathlete. Dr. Recker is dedicated to helping people become their best version and learning to #WINtheNOW.Dr. Recker candidly shares his journey through burnout and self-discovery, starting from a pivotal moment in his childhood when he made a pact to be the best at everything he did. This drive led him to numerous achievements, including running marathons, completing Ironman triathlons, and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. However, he soon realized that these accomplishments were not fulfilling his deeper needs.He describes the severe toll that stress and overcommitment took on his well-being, sharing a ground zero moment when a server crash at his dental practice triggered a panic attack. This moment was a turning point, leading him to reassess his priorities and find a healthier balance. Dr. Recker emphasizes the importance of understanding one's "why" and setting boundaries to avoid burnout. He introduces his "Five Day Knockback Burnout Challenge," designed to help individuals recognize and combat the early signs of burnout through a series of strategies and insights.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Recker highlights the significance of delegating tasks, empowering team members, and maintaining open and honest communication to foster a supportive work environment. He also shares how simple practices, such as walking to work and practicing gratitude, have significantly improved his mental and physical health. Dr. Recker encourages listeners to find small moments of peace and reflection in their daily lives to build resilience and prevent burnout.This episode is a profound exploration of resilience, mental health, and the journey to finding true fulfillment. Dr. Recker's story is an inspiring reminder that it's possible to achieve great things while maintaining balance and well-being.Contact Dr. Recker:Website: https://ericrecker.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-recker-583849278Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/eric.recker.1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/docrecker Time stamps: 00:00 Introduction and Background03:05 The Journey from Achievement to Fulfillment05:44 Recognizing the Signs of Burnout09:42 Challenges in the Dental Industry11:19 Letting Go of Control and Empowering Teams14:25 Prioritizing Self-Care for Growth and Prevention of Burnout24:10 Finding Moments of Recovery and Creating White Space27:17 Prioritizing Self-Care and Being Present30:26 Reevaluating Physical Fitness and Finding Purpose35:29 Working Three Days a Week for Better Work-Life Balance41:17 Coaching and Workshops for Overcoming Burnout

Many people think of summer as the best time to read. On the beach, on the airplane to a vacation, in between semesters… Sounds like a perfect time to do a literature review. But there are many ways to do a literature review, and in all honesty, we think most people choose the wrong type of review – the “systematic” literature review where they select papers about a phenomenon, do a supposedly structured but not exhaustive search across IS journals, and then criticize the knowledge others have created. We discuss a few alternatives that we think hold more promise: qualitative and quantitative meta analyses, or narrative and integrative reviews. We also point to a few papers that have helped us organize the conversations we read about in the literature – which really, is what literature reviewing is all about.  References Berente, N., Lyytinen, K., Yoo, Y., & Maurer, C.

Time to reflect a bit. After our conversations with three excellent but very different IS researchers, we sit down and ponder the lessons we learnt from the three previous podcasts with , , and . So did we learn anything? You betcha. We talk about the balancing humble scholarship with the need to popularize important new insights, the difference between rigor and importance of research, and the different career pathways in industry and academia.

When Eric Recker was growing up, he was bullied, never picked for kickball during recess, and told he wasn't good enough. After hearing this over and over, he started to believe it. But rather than collapse into that belief, he made a pact with himself: from that day forward, he would be so good at everything he did that he would never not be chosen again. Before long, Recker found that this was too high a goal. He had set himself up for failure. In his attempt to always be "picked," he ended up completely burnt out on life, which manifested itself in heart palpitations, panic attacks, and an overall lack of joy. It was time for him to reassess his life. He's now a successful dentist, author, and founder of #WINtheNOW, through which he teaches leaders how to achieve more and "win the now." Tune in to explore:   Common ways our modern lives pull us out of the "now," drain us of valuable energy, and suck the joy out of our everyday lives How Recker breaks his days into 15-minute "now" moments How to gradually get better at living in the present moment (it's not necessary to change your mindset all at once) Why you should be careful with the way you relate to and use the word "should" in your life So many of us are stuck in the past or future, causing us to continually miss out on the "right now." But maybe the magic really does happen in the "now" moments. What are the "now" moments in your life? How can you win them and learn from the inevitable losses? Tune in to hear the full conversation.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Dentist, Success Coach, Keynote Speaker & Workshop Facilitator, Eric Recker.Dr. Recker's journey began with a childhood experience that is unfortunately all too common: bullying. The impact of this early adversity profoundly shaped his drive for achievement. As a second grader, he made a pact with himself to excel in everything he did, a decision that stemmed from a desire to prove his worth to those who had bullied him. However, this relentless pursuit came at a cost. Dr. Recker faced burnout multiple times, a clear sign that his efforts to seek approval from childhood bullies were unsustainable. Through these experiences, he realized the need to help others who might be on a similar path, struggling with the ghosts of their past.One of the most powerful concepts Dr. Recker shared with me was the idea of "winning the now." This philosophy centers on being present and defining success in each moment. It's about reframing our perspective on losses, learning from them, and turning them into wins. Dr. Rucker's approach encourages us to step away from the constant pressure and urgency to achieve, which he aptly calls the "false sense of urgency."Dr. Recker provided practical coping mechanisms to deal with these challenges. One such strategy is setting aside dedicated "worry time," a period during the day when you can process your concerns without letting them overrun your life. Another technique he advocates is the "brain dump," which involves decluttering your mind by writing down everything that's weighing on you.Key Points from the Episode:Dr. Eric Recker's personal journey of overcoming bullying and its impact on his drive for achievementThe concept of "win the now" and living in the present momentStrategies for managing the constant pressure and urgency to achieveCoping mechanisms for dealing with worries and anxietiesThe "five-day knockback burnout challenge" as a resource to combat burnoutDr. Rucker's coaching services, workshops, and retreats for high achieversAbout Eric Recker:Dr. Eric Recker, a dedicated dentist since 2002, leads a team of 18 professionals and has maintained a passion for his work over two decades. He has been married to Amy Recker since 1997, so he cherishes his family with two boys. A native of Pella, Iowa, his upbringing in a rural community has shaped his character, fostering a love for learning and exploration. Eric, a pilot since 2018, has traveled to 12 countries and 46 states, reflecting his curiosity about the world.Beyond his dental profession, Eric is a recovering triathlete, having completed over 20 races up to the Ironman level. As a Certified Elite Success Coach, he mentors and coaches high-achieving personalities, emphasizing the philosophy of #WINtheNOW.With a history of biking across Iowa and scaling mountains, including Kilimanjaro, Eric remains passionate about helping people realize their goals and believes in a bright future.Tweetable Moments:01:34 - "I made a pact as a second grader on the sidelines of that field: I said, 'I'm going to be so freaking good at everything that I ever do that nobody's ever not going to pick me.'"15:13 - "I'm in the business of hope.

Eric Recker is a dentist, success coach, and a speaker who shared his personal journey of overcoming burnout and finding purpose. In our discussion, Eric opened up about his early life struggles, his relentless pursuit of success, and the eventual realization of the hollowness in relentless achievement. He detailed his experiences from being excluded in childhood games to excelling in dental school, and from enduring severe professional burnout to discovering his true calling.Most significant in Eric's story is his transformation from a relentless achiever to someone who understands the importance of living in the present and finding purpose beyond success. "I was climbing every mountain I could possibly find... But the reality is I didn't know why I was doing it," he shared, reflecting on his relentless pursuit of achievements.From this episode, listeners can learn about the dangers of burnout and the importance of understanding one's deeper motivations. Eric's journey is a powerful reminder that success without purpose can lead to emptiness. He emphasized the significance of 'winning the now', a concept he adopted to focus on the present rather than being stuck in the past or anxious about the future. "The one thing that's guaranteed is the moment right in front of us," Eric noted, highlighting the power of living in the moment.Key takeaways from Eric's story include the importance of self-awareness in personal and professional life, the need to find balance, and the understanding that fulfillment often lies in service and impact rather than just personal achievements. Eric's shift from a high-achieving dentist to a coach and speaker who helps others navigate their burnout journeys is not just inspiring but also offers practical insights into managing life's pressures and finding true satisfaction.Eric Recker's narrative is a compelling example of how reevaluating one's life priorities can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced existence. His story offers hope and guidance for anyone facing similar challenges in their personal or professional lives.
