Storytelling is crucial for both individuals and businesses worldwide. Regardless of your position, storytelling is fundamental to everything you do. In this session, we have the opportunity to learn from a true master in the field of storytelling. He is currently teaching media and has dedicated his entire career to producing media for television. Storytelling has become an essential skill for professionals in the technology industry, whatever role you are playing, from CIOs, CTOs, Product managers, and Solution engineers to DBAs, Developers, and tech consultants. As technology continues to shape our world, the ability to communicate effectively through storytelling is becoming increasingly important and a cornerstone for success. Few examples: For CIOs/CTOs/IT Managers, storytelling can help align teams and stakeholders around a shared vision for their organization's future and how technology will support this vision to become a reality. Senior leaders need to create a compelling narrative around technology initiatives, and they can inspire and motivate their teams to achieve goals and drive innovation. Product managers can use storytelling to build empathy with their users and create products that truly resonate with their needs. By understanding the user's journey and crafting a narrative around their pain points and aspirations, product managers can create products that solve real problems and deliver value to their users. Tech Consultants can benefit from storytelling by using it to build trust and credibility with their customers. By sharing stories of successful projects and outcomes, consultants can showcase their expertise and build a rapport with their clients, ultimately leading to more successful engagements. Storytelling has become a vital skill for professionals in the technology industry, enabling them to communicate effectively, build empathy, inspire innovation, and drive success, and today we will learn from the master of storytelling.

Lee's Nugget of Hope: "Get out in nature. Get away from the screens once in a while. We need to appreciate this planet we live on." Lee shares his writing journey, 30-year media career, and we both wish his cat Max-Fred a very happy 12th birthday!! BIO Lee Schneider is the author of screenplays, teleplays, stage plays, short stories, and audio drama podcasts. His thirty-year career in media includes podcast production, documentaries, and series with History Channel, Discovery, Court TV, Food Network, Travel Channel, TLC, Dateline NBC, and Good Morning America. The founder of Red Cup Agency, a podcast production agency. https://www.redcupagency.com/about Lee is also the author of five non-fiction books. Surrender is his first published novel. Surrender takes place in a future where a global machine intelligence manages our climate disaster. While a tech company works to harvest every citizen's thoughts, a secret band of resisters struggles to keep human thought safe and free. Lee lives in Santa Monica, CA with his family. Lee Schneider and Ever Gonzalez are the founders of FutureX.Studio. https://futurex.studio⁠ Futurex.Studio is a media platform for generating dialogue and building a community around science fiction projects that imagine a positive view of the future. Every project we support asks, “What would the future of a just world look like?” Science fiction storytelling is often dystopian. This dystopian view is valuable because it helps us see how not to proceed into the future and shows how we have failed. But storytelling focused on imagining social change must also ask what a just future would look like. FutureX.Studio exists to ask how technology can be our ally, and how future visions may be shaped to help us envision gender and racial equality and social and environmental justice.

The rapid technological evolution brings rapid progress in our daily lives. At the same time, it also results in eco-anxiety. Where are we actually going? How much damage are we doing with our digital advancement? Can humans and the entire planet keep up with these changes? Lee Schneider aims to address this feeling of dread in his novel, Surrender. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he explains how telling a story about a dystopian future can shed light on the double-edge sword of collective progress. Lee talks about using AI bots with extreme cautiousness and why they can never replace actual human jobs. He also delves into how technology could be causing social anxiety issues and tech bro companies turning people into mere fuels for the engine of commerce.

Planting heirloom seeds — the kind of seeds you order from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds  —  seems like a quaint pastime. You picture baby food jars lined on a sunny kitchen windowsill, each one filled with a different kind of seed, or neighbors trading seeds over the backyard fence.  The world of heirloom seeds is all that, and a lot more.  Seeds carry culture and history. Civilizations live or starve depending on whether they have access to seeds. If the world were to end, rebooting it would begin with planting seeds.Heirloom seeds do something really weird.  Plant them and they grow. Harvest the seeds and plant them again. They grow all over again.  If you are an urbanist who gets most of their food out of plastic packages, the idea of self-replicating food is something out of science fiction.Here’s something else out of science fiction. Just before the year 2000, there was something called the Y2K Scare. People believed that their personal computers would freeze up and go black.  The banking system would collapse as well as the power grid. Planes would crash. Balanced unsteadily upon a binary code of ones and zeroes, the world would stop when all the computers failed. It looked like the end for people, so people started saving seeds in case they needed to grow their own food.Y2K didn’t happen. But the seed habit caught on for some. A new generation of backyard gardeners realized that growing your own food was good. Y2K was when Jere Gette’s business really took off.  You can get to know his business from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Catalogue.  The same one that I ordered my seeds from to plant in my tiny garden. He printed his first catalog when he was seventeen. When I discovered the catalog in LA he had already been at it a while. Now, more than two decades later, he offers about 2000 varieties of vegetables and herbs, the largest selection in the U.S.Jere joins the podcast to tell us why seeds matter, why GMO seeds are damaging  the integrity of our food supply, and why beet seeds are his favorite. The problem is as we lose more and more of these traditional varieties, it reduces the gene pool for breeders to work with. And that's why it's so important for home gardeners and farmers, everybody, to conserve these old varieties because even if you're developing modern hybrids, you still have to start with some base stock. You still have to have the genes of these old insect-resistant varieties or these old heat-tolerant varieties to develop the modern varieties.  - Jere GettleGet show notes and more at futurefood.fm.
