Lumière sur MAB, l'acronyme de Musiciennes A Besançon. Ce projet sur le long terme connaît son temps fort dès aujourd'hui et jusqu'au 26 avril... C'est une semaine d'immersion pour 3 équipes artistiques, dans différents lieux : au Bastion, à La Rodia et au Conservatoire de Besançon. Il permet à 3 projets musicaux de bénéficier d'un accompagnement artistique encadré par des professionnel·les pour travailler leur projet et s'interroger sur leur statut d'artiste. Cette année, c'est la 4ème saison et on en parle avec Lucie Moreau, chargée de communication à la Rodia.

Dr. Khwaja Moinuddin grew up in India with what he calls a “normal childhood”. He attended high school and then received his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in his home town. With some convincing and soul searching he then came to the United States and attended Texas Tech university where he obtained his Master's degree and began working toward obtaining a PhD. Khwaja tells us about his time at Texas Tech including how, when funding grew hard to get, he overcame his fears and adversity and found a job that helped him stay in school. Even so, while working on his Doctorate degree he secured a job with 3M and, as he tells us, he learned a lot and even today he is grateful for the opportunities he had at this company. Eventually, however, under the advice of others he did finish his PhD, but not in Mechanical Engineering as such.   Khwaja began learning about organizations, how they worked, why often they didn't work well and he developed ways to help people at all levels of organizations learn how to stop being so resistive to change and thus develop more positive attitudes and constructive methods of accomplishing tasks.   We get to hear much wisdom from Khwaja on leadership, resistance to change and how to better accomplish tasks by being more open to new ideas. This episode is a MUST for everyone if you are at all open to learning some new ideas and growing to be better in whatever you do at work, in life and at play.       About the Guest:   Dr. Khwaja Moinuddin is a renowned leader in Continuous Improvement, Change Management, and Business Transformation, with over 22 years of hands-on experience driving measurable impact across diverse industries. His mission is clear: to help organizations embed a culture of excellence, resilience, and continuous learning - not as a temporary initiative, but as a way of working. Whether leading large-scale change programs, coaching executives, or transforming operational models, he has built a reputation for delivering tangible business results and lasting cultural shifts. With deep expertise in Continuous Improvement, Change Leadership, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Dr. Moinuddin partners with organizations to challenge the status quo, eliminate inefficiencies, and create high-performing teams. He has worked across multiple industries, functions, and global markets, collaborating with executive leaders, middle managers, and frontline employees to break down silos and drive sustainable transformation. His holistic approach ensures that strategy, execution, and people engagement work in tandem, because real change happens when employees at every level take ownership of improvement. A passionate thought leader and author, Dr. Moinuddin has distilled his years of experience into two books that serve as practical guides for transformation:   "I.N.S.P.I.R.E. - An Adaptive Change Excellence Model and Guide of the people, for the people, by the people" – A framework for leading people-centered, high-impact change initiatives. "Are You (Really) Listening?: Decoding the Secrets of Unheard Conversations" – A deep dive into the power of listening as a critical leadership and change management skill.   Dr. Moinuddin's philosophy is simple: transformation is not about tools, it's about people, mindset, and discipline. If your organization is struggling with change fatigue, leadership misalignment, or resistance to new ways of working, he can help you turn obstacles into opportunities and create a culture where excellence thrives. Let's connect and explore how we can drive real, measurable business impact, together!     Dr. Khwaja Moinuddin's journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, continuous learning, and an unstoppable mindset. Born and raised in a simple middle-class family in Pondicherry, India, a former French colony - he completed his schooling and earned a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering before moving to the U.S. to pursue his Master's in Industrial Engineering. At Texas Tech University, he excelled academically, achieving a 4.0/4.0 GPA in his major (Manufacturing) and an overall GPA of 3.83/4.0. While pursuing his degree, he also worked as an intern for Rhodia Inc., a chemicals manufacturing company, gaining valuable hands-on industry experience. Khwaja began his career as an Industrial Engineer with 3M, where he learned the foundations for his expertise in Continuous Improvement (CI) and Change Leadership. Over the years, he obtained multiple professional certifications, including Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Certified Change Practitioner, Certified Prince2 Practitioner and Certified Scrum Master. His career took him across the globe, leading large-scale transformation initiatives in world-renowned organizations such as Ocean Spray Cranberries, Shell, Maersk, GARMCO, HSBC, and PDO (Petroleum Development Oman). Despite a demanding global career, Khwaja pursued his passion for learning, earning a Doctorate in Management Studies and a second Master's degree in Psychology while working full-time. His belief "To Learn is to Breathe" has shaped his leadership philosophy, helping organizations embrace change, embed a culture of excellence, and achieve breakthrough results. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Khwaja is a devoted husband and father. He fell in love with and married his wife, Sangeetha, while in the U.S., and together they have a 15-year-old son, Tanish. They now reside in Chennai, India.

And to help make the internet fully inclusive by the year 2025. Glad you dropped by we're happy to meet you and to have you here with us.   Michael Hingson ** 01:20 Well, hello again, everyone. I am your host once again. Michael hingson, and you are listening to unstoppable mindset. We're really glad you're with us, wherever you happen to be in the world, and wherever we happen to be talking in the world. And today we're actually talking to Dr Khwaja Moinuddin from India. So it's a long distance boy signals travel a lot faster today than they did when we used covered wagons or Coney pony expresses. So I'm really grateful for the fact that we get to use Zoom and computers and do things in such a meaningful way. So anyway, here we are. Kwaja has written two books, and I know he's going to tell us about those, so I'm not going to give a lot of that away. He has been a transformational leader. He also has a background in mechanical engineering, and that fascinates me, because it seems to me, it's interesting going from mechanical engineering to being a transformational subject matter expert and expert by any standard. So I'm going to be curious to hear about that. But anyway, meanwhile, Khwaja, I want to welcome you to unstoppable mindset, and thank you for being here.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 02:28 Thank you. Thank you, Michael, it's, it's indeed an honor to be on your podcast. And you know, as as we have been discussing, I'm no expert by any means. I have just gathered years and years of experience, 22 plus years of experience, and I'm still learning and continuous improvement, transformation. It's an ocean. So the more you know I learn, the more I feel like I don't know much. Yes, there is to learn, yes.   Michael Hingson ** 03:05 Well, I know exactly what you're saying. I think if we stop learning, then we have really let ourselves down and let the world down. We need to continue to learn. And I very much enjoy doing this podcast, because I get to learn so much from so many people. It's really a lot of fun. So I want to again, thank you for being here and looking forward to all that we get to talk about today. So let's get to it. I'd like to learn a little bit about maybe the early Khwaja Growing up and so on. Tell us a little bit about you growing up in India and so on.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 03:38 Yep, I'm from a very small town in Pondicherry called Pondicherry in in India, the closest big city is Chennai. It's about 160 kilometers south of Chennai. It used to be a former French colony. Now the place has been changed. I mean, the name has been changed from Pondicherry to Puducherry. But growing up, I'm the youngest of two kids. I have a brother. He's four years older than me, and my parents were typical middle class, lower middle class, both working parents. They worked really, really hard to put me and my brother through to school. They took care of us, they protected us. So I'm really grateful for my parents, my mom, my dad and my brother also could be quite me, you know, when I was young. So I'm really grateful to my family, because we were just the four of us in our family. Growing up, I went to a public school, initially, I went to a private school, and. Uh, but then my parents couldn't afford the fees, so we moved to public school, and I did all my schooling and my bachelor's in mechanical engineering in Pondicherry. So born and brought up in Pondicherry, which was a small fishing village, didn't know much about the real world until, you know, I graduated and stepped out of India for the very first time to go to the US to do my master's degree. My childhood was, was, was normal, you know, on a living on a on a coast. So I really enjoyed living near the beach. We didn't live very far away from the beach, just maybe, you know, maybe 100, 200 meters away from the beach. Growing up, I had a lot of friends, so we would be, would take our bicycles and and, you know, ride all over the town because it, you know, it wasn't as crazy as it is now with all the traffic and stuff, it was less congested. And the good thing about Pondicherry, an interesting fact is, because it was designed by the French, all the streets in Pondicherry are at right angles to each other. So you would never get lost if you are in Pondicherry, in the middle of the Pondicherry, because wherever you go, if you take a right turn and another right turn and another right turn, you will end up at the same place. So you will never get lost. That's an interesting fact in Pondicherry. How about Pondicherry?   Michael Hingson ** 06:39 So it certainly is a whole lot easier to travel around pontichery than it is to travel around Washington DC by any standard, I think. So yes, there's a lot of Angular streets and streets that go in different directions in Washington. So yeah, I think I'd like pot of cherry that's pretty good. So did you learn to fish?   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 07:03 Not, not, yeah. I mean, I did learn how to fish, but more swimming. Used to go to the ocean almost every day. You know, I think I practically spent a lot of time on the beach with my friends and in the playgrounds. Our playgrounds used to be huge growing up, unlike now, they have become so small and condensed with all the, you know, development, the real estate that's growing in India, in Pondicherry and in India in general. But, but yeah, I did learn how to fish, you know, not using, like a fishing rod in the in the US, but using, you know, the the fishing, the the thread, you know, the nylon wire, fishing net, yeah, yeah. Not, not the net, but the wire, just was the single wire,   Michael Hingson ** 07:58 well, so you what, what got you into mechanical engineering?   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 08:05 Well, you know, as, as all of my fellow Indians would say, in India, you are either an engineer or a doctor first. So, so I really had no choice. I had to become an engineer or a doctor. I didn't score enough to become a doctor, so I naturally became an engineer. But since I have to become an engineer, I was looking at, you know, all the different fields of engineering. What fascinated me was, you know, the field of mechanical engineering, because I heard from several of my friends and colleagues that mechanical engineering is an evergreen field, and typically, mechanical engineers can fit anywhere. And they were really, really they were, they were 100% correct. And I'm glad I chose mechanical engineering and I really liked my subject, because that what I am today would not be if I hadn't learned about mechanical engineering. Well.   Michael Hingson ** 09:07 So you, you got your bachelor's degree, but then you, as you said, you stepped out and you, you actually came to the United States and went to Texas Tech to do your advanced degree. What made you do that? That's moving a long way from home, yep.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 09:23 So some of my my my friends and my seniors, also, when I was doing my mechanical engineering, they were talking about something called as a GRE or a TOEFL. It sounded Greek, like Greek and Latin to me. I didn't know what it was. I had no intention of going to the US initially. My intention was to get a job and earn a lot of money and and I was almost done studying at that point of time, you know, learning subjects like thermodynamics and lot of advanced mechanics. Engineering stuff for four years really wears you out. But my my seniors and and my cousin also, and my uncles and a lot of my relatives, they said, you know, if you don't do your masters now, and if you go straight away to work, you may not have the inclination to learn more. So they really, they really prompted me or nudged me to do my Masters also, and and my mom, of course, she has been a great, great, great driving force behind me. She She encouraged me to always, always, always learn. She herself has, you know, so many degrees I cannot, I don't even know how many degrees she has. She has master's degrees and Bachelor's degrees in in, you know, all sorts of areas. And to this day, you know, she she keeps learning, and she has been a teacher for about 45 years now. So so my mom, along with my relatives and my friends. They said, You know, you need to study more so. So, you know, I had actually got a job, you know, in my fourth year. And I got a job through on campus interviews, you know, like a career fair in the in the US, similar to a career fair in the US. So I gave up that job and I wrote GRE and TOEFL. I worked hard. Got I did not get like flying colors, but I got, I got good grades in GRE and TOEFL, and then I applied to universities. Initially I was going to be an aerospace engineer, but then my friends also told me that maybe that's a difficult field to get a job in in future, because it requires, you know, us, security clearance and stuff. So you're you're better off doing something which is related to mechanical engineering, or even mechanical engineering. I didn't want to go too much into technical stuff, so I explored industrial engineering, and I found, you know, the courses and all that stuff were really to my liking and to my interest. So, so then I chose industrial engineering and Texas Tech specifically because of the industrial engineering program they had. So then and, and that's one, one thing led to another. And then I landed in Texas Tech University.   Michael Hingson ** 12:26 Well, that must have been fun. So you had lots of new experiences. You learned about football and all sorts of other things in addition to your academic studies. Yes,   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 12:36 yes. Red Raiders. Go Red Raiders. Yeah, right.   Michael Hingson ** 12:40 Well, and I, I went to UC Irvine. I don't know, I still don't know if we have a much of a football team today. We have a good basketball team, but go anteaters anyway. So it's, it is interesting how our lives change and how we end up, how God gives us different opportunities? And then, of course, the issue really is us taking those opportunities and moving forward with them. When you You certainly did. You stepped out and you moved to the United States, you went to Texas Tech, you got your bachelor's, and where did you get your PhD?   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 13:19 So I got my master's from Texas Tech, and I was, I also started to do my PhD in industrial engineering in Texas Tech, but unfortunately, I didn't finish, because the the department ran out of funding, and I had to search for a job. So I started to, I got my job in 3m as an industrial engineer. But I also did an internship in another company called Rodia, which is a chemicals manufacturing company. But then, you know, while I was doing, while I was, you know, still pursuing my full time job, I really wanted to go back to Texas Tech and complete my PhD, because I had completed all my coursework, except for the which was the dissertation which was pending. And you know, at that time, one of the professors told me, quadra, try and complete your PhD, otherwise you will regret it. I still remember his words to this day. I should have, you know, looking back, I should have stayed back in Texas Tech and finished my PhD. I should have, you know, borrowed some more money and finished my PhD in industrial engineering in Texas Tech. But nevertheless, what I did is I did my doctorate, professional doctorate in management studies in Indian School of Business Management. So slightly different. But, you know, I didn't, I didn't actually want to go for an MBA. So I want I did the doctorate in management studies because I was more interested in organizational behavior, operations. Management in that field. So I got it in 2012   Michael Hingson ** 15:07 Wow. So you, you, you did complete it, even though, again, it went in a slightly different direction. But what was your interest that that took you into a little bit more of a business oriented environment, because you had clearly been in mechanical engineering and in that discipline for most of your studies.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 15:25 Yes, yes. So, you know, when I was doing my master's degree in Industrial Engineering, you know, and I got interested in continuous improvement, lean, Six Sigma, transformation, change management in that field, more as I was doing my masters in industrial engineering. And then when I got my first job in in 3m 3m is a great company, as you know, you know, I learned all the basics of my lean, Six Sigma change management, you know, hands on in 3m and I'm still grateful to this day that my very first job was in 3am actually, it's a funny story, because, you know, I got the job in 3m on the same day I was interviewed. So the I was very lucky. I think the the line manager really liked me, and he said, kwaja, I'm going to hire you on the spot. So I was, I was really, really, you know, ecstatic on that day, and I still remember that feeling to this day, yes. So what interested me to coming back to your question was when I was working in 3m they have a good mentorship program. So they asked me, you know, how do you want your career to be? You know, where do you see yourself in five years? In 10 years? In 15 years? How do you see yourself growing? And I said, I want to grow in the technical field. I want to become like a subject matter expert in Lean, Six Sigma, Black Belt, Master, Black Belt. And I want to grow in the technical field. And I remember the mentor, she told me, kwaja, while that's a good thought, but you will not grow much if you are purely technical, you will grow more if you combine your technical expertise with management, how to lead people, how to manage people, how to do change management with people so she actually, you know, planted the seed in me to do more of, you know, people management role. And for that, she prompted me to do more courses in people management, leading teams, how to work and collaborate with, you know, cross functional teams. And that interested me, and I started to search for courses that would give me that exposure. And then, you know, given the fact that also I took some courses in my master's, or when I was doing my PhD in industrial engineering, it prompted me more to move away from technical rather than getting a PhD in industrial engineering, to do adopt rate in management studies. And hence I, you know, slightly moved into the people management, operations management, into the softer stuff of managing people and getting stuff done through people, through others.   Michael Hingson ** 18:14 Well, nothing, nothing wrong with that. I know my background was in physics. But along the way, there came a time that I was confronted with an opportunity to take a job that wasn't directly related to physics, and I chose to do it. But out of that, I ended up being put in a situation once where I had to make a choice to either go find a new job or change from doing kind of human factors studies and other things related to a product going in instead into sales, and I chose to go into sales, but my reasoning was, It's difficult enough for blind people to get jobs. Finding a new job would be really a challenge, whereas an opportunity was being offered, and it was a good opportunity, so I accepted it. So again, I know that many times we do find that there is a an opportunity that comes along that maybe we don't expect, and if we take it, it's the right way to go.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 19:14 Yes indeed. And your story has been fascinating, Michael, to be honest with you, it has been, you know, it's very inspirational. Your story, me and my wife, we were sharing, you know, how you how you overcame adversity, that's really, really, really inspirational.   Michael Hingson ** 19:33 Well, thank you. And I, I appreciate that. And you know, to me, it's just how we live life, and we sometimes we're presented with challenges and and we have to deal with those challenges, which is, of course, our role, and if we don't, then we're the losers for doing it. Well, in your case, did you ever have a defining moment or a situation where, if, since we call this unstoppable mindset, where. Kind of a mindset really affected you and to help you through it.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 20:05 Yeah. I mean, many, many, many, many situations, there's never a dull day in continuous improvement, so it's full of challenges. Always, always. You know, in every organization I have worked for, there have been challenges in terms of, you know, how to deploy continuous improvement, how to take people with you in the journey of continuous improvement. But one of the things you know early on, when I was doing my my master's degree, is, you know, I think that that laid the foundation also for me to become more resilient and more adaptable. You know, when, when my department said they didn't have funding I wanted to, and this was, you know, when, when I was doing my master's degree, not, not, you know, when I went into my PhD, when I was doing my master's degree, after a semester, they said they didn't have enough funding. So a lot of my colleagues, you know, those who are in engineering, whether mechanical or industrial or or chemical or petroleum engineering, they would they were searching for jobs. I think it was the summer of 2001 and since it was summer, a lot of professors were on were on vacation, and I went door to door, knocking on every professor's, you know, Office, Office door. And almost everybody you know, kind of, you know, either shoot me away or said, you know, we don't have funding. Or, you know, their doors were closed because they were on vacation. So one of the, one of the things I did, you know, you know, I was very, very frustrated. I couldn't sleep. So I thought, What am I doing? What am I doing? What am I doing wrong here? Why am I not getting the funding. Why am I not getting a research assistantship? So as I was laying on my on my bed that that night, one evening, I thought to myself, and an idea came to me, why don't I go into Texas Tech University's Health Sciences Center, which is slightly far away. It's, you know, we have to walk, like, at least half an hour to get to the Texas Tech University's Health Sciences Center. And it's predominantly, you know, biology, Health Sciences Center. So nobody, none of my colleagues, had gone there to look for a job. So I thought, why not go there? Maybe I will find some luck. So initially, you know, I was told, No, you know, you don't have a biology background or, you know, we don't have jobs here. But on the third day, one professor, you know, as I was, I thought, you know, my day, on that day also is going to be a disappointment. Around five o'clock that evening, when I was about to go home and I noticed one professor's door was open. His name is branch Schneider, so if he's, if he's watching, you know, I'm grateful to him also for this brand Schneider. He is the professor in oncology department in Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. So I approached him, his door was open, and I told him, I'm searching for a job. Any job? Would you be able to give me a job? He thought, he thought about it, and without hesitation, you know, he said, I do have a job, but you may not like it. And he said, You know, it's it involves washing dishes, bakers. Are you comfortable in doing it? I said, I thought about it, and I said, I can do it if it helps me to get in state tuition. And he also thought about it, and he said, Yeah, I think that should not be a problem. And once I agreed to do that, then he said, I don't want you to just do that. I want to use your engineering skills to help me with research. You know, doing some reports, research, reports and analysis using your engineering skills. Would you be able to do that? I said, That's my specialty. I would be glad to do that. So, you know, one thing led to another, and then, you know, he gave me the research assistantship, and you know, I was able to continue with my with my master's degree without, you know, burdening my parents. Because, you know, I had got a huge loan to go to the US, as you know, going to the US during those times is not, is not cheap. It's very expensive. So, you know, I think that's what, that's what laid the foundation. So I thought, you know, nothing is impossible. So if I can do that, I think I can convince people to do change management, at least my change management skills, and, you know, my Lean Six Sigma skills to do the continuous improvement in organizations. So I think that one moment, I think, was, you know, when, when I got that. I didn't realize that, you know, when I got back to my room and I told my friends that, you know, I had got this job, everybody's jaw dropped. They said, You have done something impossible. So they said, you know, we are now going to go to Health Sciences Center also. So I think a lot of our engineering guys went and knocked doors in Health Sciences Center, and they began to get jobs there. I   Michael Hingson ** 25:24 remember once, one of the first jobs my brother ever got. He was, I think, in high school. He had gotten to high school, and he went to apply at a restaurant for a job, just to earn some money. And the owner said, Well, you know, let me think about it. Would you go outside and we got some weeds out in the in the area around the restaurant, would you just pull the weeds? And my brother said, Sure, why not? I don't have anything else to do. So he went out on like, in a half hour, he had, excuse me, he had pulled all the weeds. The manager came out and was just absolutely amazed that he had had done all of that. And he said, Well, okay, and I thought about it, I'll give you a job. And of course, he was really being tested. Would he go out and do whatever he was asked to do? Which Which he did do? And when he came home and told my parents, and I was there at the time about that, they said, you understand that this guy was just testing you to see whether you would do whatever needed to be done to help the restaurant. And you passed, and he got the job. We never know where things are going to come from. And indeed, yes, we should be open and be willing to explore. It's always a good thing when we do that. I haven't thought about that in years, but you just reminded me of that story, and it's a great story, and for me, it was a lesson that you've got to do sometimes different things, and when, when you're really asking for someone's assistance, you also need to look at what they're asking you to do, and you need to do what they're asking   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 27:01 yes, unless it's to shoot No, I'm not going to go out and   Michael Hingson ** 27:07 shoot someone. But that's a different story. But well, that's great. Well, now, while you were in the United States, you also went off and got married, huh?   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 27:18 Yes, I did.   Michael Hingson ** 27:21 Well, that was a that was a good thing. That's another good reason to have come to the US. Yes, now, is your wife from India or the US?   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 27:33 Well, it's a, it's an interesting story. Once again, we she, she is. She's two years younger to me, and, you know, we met at a birthday party, and in, you know, at a professor's daughter's birthday party. And I initially thought I knew her from somewhere, so I was very, very shy to to approach her. But then some of her, some of her friends, or, I think some of my friends who knew her, they asked me if you know I would be okay to drop them to their house. So when I was, when I was driving, I looked at her through the, you know, the rear view mirror, yeah, and I, I liked her a lot, so, but I didn't know whether she was looking at me at that time or not. But then later, I told her that I was looking at you when I was driving. And then, you know, one thing led to another, and you know, we dated. She's from India, so she was also doing her master's degree. When, when, you know, at the time, you know, I was doing an internship in in a chemicals manufacturing company in Vernon, Texas, which is in the middle of nowhere. And I used to drive three hours from Vernon to Lubbock because I thought Lubbock was in the middle of nowhere. But then, when I was when I was working in Vernon, which is just no like a small town of 10,000 people, then when I used to drive back to Lubbock, it was like heaven, Paradise. I could see many people in Lubbock. So when I was driving back and forth. And I was in, I met her in this, in this party, and then we started to date. And then, you know, we got, we got married in the US in 2000 we were dating for a very long time. We lived together also for for a long time, we got to know each other. And then we got married in 2008   Michael Hingson ** 29:42 Ah, well, that's great. Congratulations. How long have you been married now? Thank you.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 29:48 Well. We have known each other now for 21 years since 2004 Yes, and we have been married since 2008 so 17 years. Wow. Congratulations. Thank you, thank you. And we have a son, 15 years old. And yeah, we, we are still, you know, happily married to each other, and she, you know, she has been a great support for me, not only in times of happiness, but but especially, you know, when I get frustrated, when when I'm not in such a good mood, or when I feel dejected, she has supported me tremendously, and she's still supporting me tremendously, but   Michael Hingson ** 30:30 I bet that goes both ways.   30:33 Yes,   Michael Hingson ** 30:35 you have to be more stable than you.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 30:41 Yes, well, I think she's more emotionally matured also. Then I don't want to tell her that, but she may know after this podcast   Michael Hingson ** 30:52 well. So you do a lot of work in working with people involved in resistance and change and continuous improvement, and you deal with people with resistance and change. How do you push back? And how do you push beyond that? How do you get people who are so resistive to change to to agreeing to change? You know, the reason I ask is that we all we all hear people talk all the time about how change is important. Changes is necessary, but none of us really want to change. How do you deal with that?   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 31:26 Yes, so, you know, over the years, this is what, this is what I have learned also. And you know, I, I did my masters, my second masters in psychology, and that helped me a great deal. Also, I've always been, you know, fascinated with the psychology of human behavior. So I always wondered, you know, even when working in 3m or in my first company as an intern, I always wondered, you know, why? You know, even if a change is good, why are people resisting? And years and years passed by, I always, I always thought that, you know, we can, we can always convince people with rational, logical stuff, with data. But then I found out, you know, through through trial and error, I don't get convinced using logic. I have my own ways to resist. So when I learned about how I am resisting, I thought that's natural. Then how people, other people would resist. Because, you know my girlfriend at that time, who is my wife. Now, when she used to suggest something I would resist, that. She would say, quarter, you're not organized, you know, let's, let's get the house organized. And I would resist it because, you know, getting organized is a good thing, but then I had my own way of doing stuff. So, you know, to this day, I still resist, by the way, and she's still trying to convince me to get organized, but you know, I know why I resist. You know why I'm resisting. I know how I resist. So you know that, that you know early on, helped me, that, you know, people resist because we are trying to change them. It's not the change, but it's we are trying to change them into something that they don't want to so, for example, you know, one of the one of the line managers, or one of the leaders in a company that I worked for, he was completely against continuous improvement. He was telling me, I have been doing continuous improvement quadra, for 20 years, I don't need you to come and tell me how to do my job and how to improve it. And he was very open about it. I'm so glad he was. He was so open about it. Because, you know, I have also seen people who resist very covertly. They would say yes in front of you, and then, you know, go back and do their own stuff, or, you know, they won't do anything at all. So I wanted to understand him, why he felt that way. And, you know, I went on, you know, plant walks with him, and he was very proud when we were when we were walking around the plant, he showed me all the improvements that he did. So I told him, Bill, his name is Bill, what you're doing is continuous improvement. Bill, so I'm not trying to tell you to do your job. I'm here to tell you how to I'm here to help you how to do your job in a more structured way. And that's what CI is all about. So when I said that, immediately, he said, you know, guaja, I wish somebody you know, in your place, had told me that earlier, because people who had before you, who came before you, they were all about tools and templates. And I hate to use tools and templates. I'm more of a practical guy. So then that was a learning for me, also that, you know, that was an aha moment for me, that people, you know, certain people, have. Certain way of learning, and certain people have certain way of improving, but we all want to improve. So if we guide people in the right direction, and we talk their language, you know, we use their frame of reference, we use their language and and we see what are their pain points, and we try to help them overcome those pain points, then people would naturally, you know, you know, get the we would get the buy in for for the change, and people would not resist so much. So at the end, you know, what happened is Bill became a huge supporter of CI, not only a huge supporter of CI, he passed my green belt exam. Also, I coached him, and he passed my green belt exam. And he was, he was very happy. Initially, he was, he was, he was reluctant to even attend my course. But then, you know, after he went through the course, and then, you know, after we built the rapport. And then I, and then I told him, I'm not trying to replace you or, or I'm not trying to steal your job or, or I'm not telling trying to, you know, tell you how to do your job, because that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to help you. And continuous improvement is a more structured way of doing things, because you may be doing in trial and error, and by doing trial and error, you know, you may be making some costly mistakes, but when we apply it in a structured way, we can avoid 19 99% of errors, most of the time. So he really liked that approach. And he liked my approach of making things very, very practical, not speaking, you know, in heavy technical terms, not using the jargon and explaining it to him, you know, in his own language. That's what helped, you know, reduce the resistance. And over the years, what I have done is also, you know, adapt my way of how I'm approaching resistance. One of the courses which I took, and it was a certification course, also was, you know, instead of waiting for resistance to happen to you, we should approach resistance proactively. You know, when we announce a change, we should naturally expect resistance, and when we have resistance, it's a good thing. I have never, I never heard about it before, before I attended the course. I thought always resistance is bad. I thought resistance is something that we need to fight. We need to convince people, and those people who resist, they don't know what they're talking about. I used to see them as, you know, almost like enemies at workplace. This guy is against CI, why doesn't he or she gets CI, why are they, you know, resisting so much. Why are they criticizing me so much? I used to take it personally also. Later, I learned, you know, not to take things personally as well. So what I what I found, was that we should surface resistance proactively, whether you know it is in work life or in personal life, you know, when we are trying to do something out of the ordinary. When we are trying to improve something, we should expect resistance. And if there is no resistance, then that means either the resistance has gone underground, right, which has gone into COVID stage, or people have not understood the why. You know, what is this change? What is this? How is this going to affect me, people have not understood what you're talking about. So when we explain things, we should naturally expect resistance, and resistance helps in improving, you know, what is whatever we are trying to implement, you know, whether it is like a ERP implementation or, you know, Lean Six Sigma, or a transformation project, digital transformation, anything that we are trying to do, if people are resisting or if people are expressing concerns, it's a good thing. That's what I have learned over the years. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 38:50 at least, at least then they're open and they're talking to you about it, which is important. So how do you deal with the person who says, you know, like, like, Bill, I've been involved in continuous improvement, and maybe they really have, but you're talking about change, but in reality, what we have is working, and I'm not convinced that changing it is really going to make a difference. And you know, how do you deal with that?   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 39:21 Yep, again, you know, over the years, I have so many stories this. This story, again, is some of the organizations I have worked in this. This particular person was, was saying the same thing. You know, it was one of the TETRA pack manufacturing lines, you have seen the TETRA pack, right? So the the TETRA pack where juice is packed, or milk is packed, or any beverage is packed, right? So these Tetra packs, when they were producing those Tetra packs of juice, they had. An issue of the juice packs being either overweight or underweight. So they had this continuous issue on the line, not just one line, but I think three or four of the lines, so consistently, it would be either overweight or underweight. And if you are consistent, if you are having the overweight or underweight, you would be audited, and you would get into all sorts of trouble. And moreover, you know, you're losing money if you if the pack is overweight and if the pack is underweight, somebody can, can, you know, file a claim. Customer complaints would increase. So this, this particular line manager, he said, you know he was, he was avoiding me. And I know that he would, he would avoid me so, but he, you know, at that point of time, he had no choice. So he said, kwaja, I have a few ideas, you know, I don't before, you know, you come and tell me, you know, continuous improvement, blah, blah, blah. I have a few ideas. I want to test them. And he gave me, he gave me, you know, the his thought process, and he wanted to try that before, you know, he before he agreed to listen to me. So I said, Bob, I'm all for it, please. Please, go ahead and let's see whether you know what you're trying to do. Works or not. So basically, in, you know, in our language, what we call it as as an experiment in continuous improvement terminology, we call it as an experiment. He was trying to do, you know, an experiment with one factor at a time, meaning that, you know, he would try to change one variable, and he would try to see whether that has any impact on, you know, the over overfilled packs or under filled packs. So he wanted to change one variable at a time, and there were three, four variables at that time, which he thought were, you know, suspects. So he wanted to change those variables and see what the impact would be. So I told him, Bob, yeah, let's, let's, let's try that. And I told him, you know, very politely, if that doesn't work, would you be willing to try what I am asking you to do? Because I have an idea. Also, he said, Yeah, let's, let's, let's do that. So I worked with him. I worked with him on the line, with his supervisors also. And he tried, you know, one factor at a time. He trained. He changed this, he changed that. It didn't work. So reluctantly. But then the good thing was, he was open minded also, reluctantly, he said, Okay, let's, let's sit in my office and let's talk. So I told him about a concept called Design of Experiments, DOE, in that, in that me using that you know, methodology, you can basically, you can basically have three, four factors which you can vary them simultaneously, and then see the impact on over packing and under packing. So when I explained to him, when I when I taught him about the concept him and his supervisors and the line operators, he said, Yeah, let's let's try. Let's see if this works. And at the end of the day, we were both trying to improve the process. We were both trying to get rid of this problem, sure, so we should be rolling. And then it worked within, within a few days, the problem got resolved. So what I learned from that is, sometimes, you know, you need to let people you know hit the wall before you offer them a solution. So that's something that I have learned. But of course, you know, in this case, it was not such a costly mistake. It was not, it was not like a disaster, but it was the controlled disaster. So, so what   Michael Hingson ** 43:28 was the actual change? What what change was made that fixed the problem? Or what was your idea that fixed the problem because he was changing variable at a time, but that was one example   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 43:39 at a time. Yep. So we had to do the root cause analysis. And through the root cause analysis, whatever variables that he was going after were not the root causes because he was not using a structured methodology. Okay, when we use the structured methodology, we went into root cause analysis. We did a structured like a fish bone diagram. I don't want to go into the technical details, but we did the in depth root cause analysis, and then we did something called as a design of experiment, where we chose three factors and we varied it simultaneous, so it is a controlled experiment which we did, and immediately, you know, it's not that you know you would do that, and you would get result. One month later, you would get results immediately, you would see the result immediately when you do that experiment versus what he did, it involved a certain bit of time. It would take one week for us to see a change. So when I showed him this and this versus this, he was really impressed. And from that day onwards, he became a huge supporter of CI, in fact, you know, the plant in which I was working in, you know, with the support of, you know, one of the plant managers, Tim, his name, I'm I'm still, you know, in touch with him, and you know we share thoughts with each other. I see him as a huge mentor. Also, you know, we got plant of the Year Award for a plant to talk. About to be shut down, back in 2009 so that's, that's, you know, how we were able to, you know, build the, get the buy in from all the line managers and, you know, get started on the continuous improvement journey. Because the the the management had told that if you don't improve within a few months, you would be shut down. So we all work together, and we did experiments like this, and we were able to turn around a plant, of course, you know, not just me, so I just played one small role in that we did as a team. It was a team effort,   Michael Hingson ** 45:34 and that's how you really overcome resistance to change when, when people see that you bring something to the table that works, then they're probably more apt to want to listen to you.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 45:49 Yep, indeed. We need to know what we're talking about. You know that that builds trust? Definitely.   Michael Hingson ** 45:54 Yeah. And then the issue is that you what you're talking about is is, in a sense, different than what they understand, and it's a matter of establishing credibility. Yes, which is, which is pretty cool. Well, so tell me about your books. You've written two books, and you've written I n, s, p, i R, E, and you've, you've written another book, tell us about those.   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 46:25 Yes, so I, you know, I have always wanted to share my knowledge, and I have always been sharing my knowledge, you know, through training, through coaching, I have conducted so many training sessions, so many and I have learned also, you know, from from shop floor employees, frontline employees, from middle managers. I have learned so much from them. And also executives, top executives, you know, leaders from various industries. You know whether it is manufacturing or logistics or, you know, back offices, banking, you know, pure manufacturing or logistics container, container shipping business, or aluminum rolling business. So I wanted to write this book to share my knowledge, because when I see that change management or change is being implemented very poorly, that really frustrates me. So I wanted to share this, and I have seen, you know, numerous books being written on this. You know, numerous frameworks, also, you name it. You know, there are so many books out there. What I wanted to do is give a simple framework, which is, I, N, s, p, i, R, E, which is, you know, if you have to implement change you need to inspire employees. There are no two ways about it. If we can talk about logic, we can talk about change management, we can talk about what's in it. For me, everything, but in my experience, if anyone is, if any employee or if any individual is not inspired by the change, the change is not going to go anywhere. They may do out of compliance, but we will not really get their hearts in it. And that's why I, you know, came up with this framework called Inspire, which is I basically is inspired the need for change in employees. N is navigate the organization and build a coalition. And stands for that. S is to surface resistance proactively, meaning, as we discussed, don't wait for resistance to hit you. You know when you least expect it, and then, and then, you know the change goes nowhere. Surface resistance proactively. And P is plan, your implementation. You know, when I say plan, not just, you know, like a, like a 20 step bullet point, there are so many plans that need, that need to come together, like a communication plan, resistance management plan, a training plan. There are so many plans that need to work together. And again, depending on the complexity of the change, you know, I never advocate, you know, over complicating stuff. And then you have, I, which is implementation When, when, you know, this is where rubber meets the road, if we don't implement the change in a structured way, you know, leaders are not role modeling on the shop floor. Leaders are just, you know, we call it as EMR. And this is, again, from another framework called Aim. Aim, you know, basically what we what we mean here is you can express. Leaders can express about the change, role model the change and reinforce the change. EMR, so if leaders are just expressing the change, it will lead to one times the improvement, but if leaders are role modeling the change, it will lead to three. Times the change acceleration. And if leaders are reinforcing the change, it will lead to 10 times accelerating the change. So that's what I talk about, in terms of implementation, you know, experimentation and stuff, which is i, and then you have reinforce and sustain, which is r, and then E stands for evaluating and learning. You know, after we close a change initiative, after we signed off on a change initiative, have what have we learned from it? What have we learned from it, and what, what if we had a, if we had a chance to make a do over, what would we do differently? What have we learned from it? And what would we do differently, and if we were to do implement another change, what are the learnings that we can take from this change that we have implemented and apply the learnings in our next change? And also, you know when, when leadership transitions, many, many changes, what? What happens? And you know this is what I have experienced, and this frustrates me a lot as well. Is, you know, when leadership changes, the change gets, you know, messed up. I want to say fucked up, but you know, and I don't know if I'm allowed to say that. You know, every leader, every leader, wants to come in and you know, right or wrong? You know, I'm not blaming a leader wants to leave their mark in the organization, which is good, but what they what they inadvertently do, is undo the change which their predecessors have done. And then people get confused, you know, they say it as a flavor of the month. Or they say, Okay, let's wait until this leader moves on, so that, you know, we can, we can, you know, just wait until this change passes away and it leads to, you know, production of morale and lots of issues. So this is what I talk about in my book, as well, how to avoid these, these situations. So it's like a practical framework where you know which anybody can take and apply to any change of any complexity, and you know if, even if it is very, very simple change which is going to take maybe 10 days or five days only, they can quickly go through the Inspire framework and see, you know, what are the gaps and whether we have, whether we are implementing the change in a proper, structured way. And these are in this is just a framework, you know, and you know, we don't have to use all the tools that I have mentioned in the book. We can pick and choose the tools which are relevant for the change that we are trying to implement.   Michael Hingson ** 52:38 What is the the key to making change sustainable when maybe leadership changes or the company environment shifts,   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 52:48 yes. So, you know, as Dr Deming said, constancy of purpose, right? So, so if I'm a leader, Mike, and you know, if I'm changing my role, and if I'm going to, you know another function or another department, whether in the same organization or in a different organization, and let's say that you know, Mike, you are taking over my role. What is the constancy of purpose? You know? Are we? Does the organization, you know, it starts from our organization level. Does the organization have a constancy of purpose, and is it aligned with the vision and mission and whatever I have, whatever changes I have implemented, have I communicated them to you? Is there a smooth handover between me and you, so that you understand what are the changes I have done, what are the improvements I have done, and you know how you can take it forward and continuously improve upon it. So one thing is completely undoing and the other thing is continuously improving upon it. So that, you know, people see it as a natural, continuous improvement, rather than continue, rather than, you know, abruptly undoing something and then, and then, you know, starting from, you know, scratch, starting from scratch, and saying that, Oh, no, no, no, no, whatever this person did is total crap. And now we are going to change or revolutionize the whole organization where, which, you know, nine out of 10 times is, is, you know, you're just rehashing what this person has done into something new, into, you know, a different framework or a different bottle, however you want to frame it. So the there has to be a smooth hand over. So that's, that's, you know, point number one, and point number two is the the employees, the middle managers have the middle managers and the in the whole leadership team. They have an obligation. They have a accountability to make sure that, you know, they are aligned, to make sure that if one of their leadership team members is moving on, whenever a new leadership team member comes on board, to onboard them in a structured way, not to leave them, you know, hanging, not to, you know, not to let that person. Know, implement his or her own way completely. You know, let on board them and let them know what has happened in the organization. How they can, you know, continuously improve upon it. I'm not saying that, you know, revolutionary change is not required all. I'm saying that there are times when a revolution is required, but most of the times, continuous improvement is good enough. You know, when, when we, when we continuously improve. It keeps the continuity going. And people don't see it as you know, change after change after change. You know, we don't, we don't induce change fatigue in the organizations if we, if we do it as a continuum   Michael Hingson ** 55:40 makes sense, and it's all about and it's all about communication, yep,   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 55:44 indeed. And that's where, you know, that's why I have written my second book, which is, which is about active listening. You know, I'm a bad listener, I have to be honest. So I used to be a very, very bad listener. Now I'm just a bad listener. So I have continuously improved on my listening skills, and at least I know now that you know, I'm aware of my how I need to improve my listening skills. So over the years, I have done, I have I have learned the techniques of how to listen and when and when I say listen, it is not to many people, many of us, you know, even even now. Also sometimes I catch myself, you know, trying to listen to reply or listen to respond. So when I catch myself doing that, I consciously, you know, try to listen to the person. So again, in this book, I have shared, you know, the the techniques which would help anybody to become a better listener, which, you know, one is one of the requirements for being a great leader, how to listen to people and how to listen to people, truly, truly listen to people. So I talk about simple, simple techniques in the book. You know, for example, paraphrasing, remembering, listening without judgment, right? Or suspending judgment, as I say so. You know, I rank these techniques in increasing order of complexity, suspending judgment being the most difficult, you know when, when someone starts speaking, or, you know, even if, even when we see someone immediately, in the first five seconds, we judge that person. And, you know, right or wrong, we judge that we and in this book, also, I talk about, you know, why we are prone to judging people, and why we have such a such a difficult time in suspending judgment. So if we are aware that you know, let's say that you know when I'm talking to you, Mike, if I catch myself judging you right, so at least I know that I'm Judging You right. So at least I can I know that I'm judging you, and I should not do that. I should listen to you, and I should try to understand where you are coming from, instead of saying, instead of just thinking in my mind, oh, whatever Mike is saying is it doesn't make any sense. So maybe initially it may not make sense. But you know, when we open our ears, we have two years, and that's for a reason, and only one mouth. So we need to listen, and we need to completely understand where the other person is coming from, whether you know it is in personal life or in work life. You know, when we, if we don't listen to the teams whom we are managing, and if we just say, you know, do as I say, it's my way or the highway, people will do because you know you are their line manager. But it won't last long. No, the minute you, you know, change your team, or the minute you go out, people will, people will be, you know, good riddance. So, so that's what they'll be thinking. So how to listen to people, and also it will help the leader to grow. You know, over the years, when I listen to my wife, I have understood my own shortcomings, and if I had listened to her 20 years back, maybe I would have been a different person. Maybe, maybe I would have been a more mature person. So this is what, you know, I talk about in the in the book as well. How can we truly, truly listen? And some techniques like paraphrasing. You know, when, when our mind wanders, you know, it will be good to paraphrase the person to whom you're you're speaking so that you know you you remember, so remembering, paraphrasing, empathy, for example, you know, not just talking about KPI, KPI KPIs to the team members. Understand how they're doing. You know, are they having any personal issues? How is their family? You know, work is not, you know what, what? Work is a part of our life. But you know, we spend eight to 10 hours at at a workplace. So we need to know the team members whom we are managing, and we need to listen to them. If somebody is, you know, performing badly, right? It's very easy to give them a negative feedback. But. So if we listen to them, and if they feel heard, maybe they are going through something, or maybe they are not getting enough support. If we listen to them, and if we create that environment of active listening in the whole team, suspending judgment and listening actively, then we create a more stronger bond, and the team would would become like a world class team. This has been my experience. So this is what I have shared in my, in my in my second book,   Michael Hingson ** 1:00:29 and certainly words to to remember. Well, we have been doing this an hour now, and I think it's probably time that we we end it for the day. But if people want to reach out to you. How can they do that?   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 1:00:43 Well, I am there on on LinkedIn, and people can reach me through email, and I'll be more than happy to, you know, respond to anything they need. And I'm I know if people want to reach out to me to conduct any training sessions, my website is also their journey towards excellence. You know where I have my offerings. So   Michael Hingson ** 1:01:04 what is the website? What is the website called, again, journey towards excellence. Journey towards excellence.com, okay, and your email address, khwaja.moinuddin@gmail.com and spell that, if you would   Dr Khwaja Moinuddin ** 1:01:21 Yes, please. K, H, W, A, j, A, dot, M, O, I n, u, d, d, I n@gmail.com,   Michael Hingson ** 1:01:32 great. Well, I hope people will reach out. I think you've offered a lot of great insights and inspiration for people.

In 1921, artist Sam Rodia began construction on his Watts Towers. Thirty-three years later seventeen sculptures rose as high as thirty meters over Los Angeles. Musician Jerry Garcia was dismissive of Rodia’s lifework. “That’s the payoff,” said Garcia. “That thing that exists after you’re dead.” Then he said, “Wow, that’s not it for me.” So what was the payoff for him? His bandmate Bob Weir summed up their philosophy: “In eternity, nothing will be remembered of you. So why not just have fun?” A wealthy, wise man once tried to find the “payoff” by doing everything he possibly could. He wrote, “I said to myself, ‘Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good’ ” (Ecclesiastes 2:1). But he noted, “The wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered” (v. 16). He concluded, “The work that is done under the sun was grievous to me” (v. 17). The life and message of Jesus radically counter such shortsighted living. Jesus came to give us “life to the full” (John 10:10) and taught us to live this life with the next one in view. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,” He said. “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20). Then He summed it up: “Seek first [God’s] kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (v. 33). That’s the payoff—both under the sun and beyond.

Novela: Crimen y castigo Autor: Fiódor M. Dostoievski SEXTA PARTE CAP VI Aquel mismo día, entre seis y siete de la tarde, Raskolnikoff se dirigió a casa de su madre y de su hermana. Las dos mujeres habitaban ahora en casa Bakalaieff, en el cuarto de que les había hablado Razumikin. Al subir la escalera, Raskolnikoff parecía vacilar aún. Sin embargo, por nada del mundo se hubiera vuelto atrás. Estaba resuelto a hacer aquella visita. «Todavía no saben nada—pensó—y están acostumbradas a ver en mí un ser original.» Tenía el vestido manchado de lodo y desgarrado; de otra parte, la fatiga física, juntamente con la lucha que se libraba en él desde hacía veinticuatro horas, le había puesto la cara casi desconocida. El joven había pasado la noche en vela. Dios sabe dónde; pero, por lo menos, su partido estaba tomado. Llamó a la puerta, y su madre salió a abrir. Dunia había salido, y la criada no estaba en aquel momento en la casa. Pulkeria Alexandrovna se quedó muda de sorpresa y de alegría; después, tomando a su hijo por la mano, le llevó a la sala. —¡Ah! ¿Estás aquí?—dijo con voz temblorosa a causa de la emoción—. No te incomodes, Rodia, porque te recibo llorando. Es la felicidad la que me hace verter lágrimas. ¿Crees que estoy triste? No; estoy alegre, ya lo ves, me río, sólo que tengo la tonta costumbre de llorar. Desde la muerte de tu padre, lloro por cualquier cosa. ¡Ah, qué sucio estás! —¡Me cayó ayer tanta lluvia encima!—comenzó a decir Raskolnikoff. —Deja eso—interrumpió vivamente Pulkeria Alexandrovna—. ¿Piensas que iba a preguntarte con curiosidad de anciana? Puedes estar tranquilo; lo comprendo todo; pues ahora estoy algo iniciada en las costumbres de San Petersburgo y, verdaderamente, veo que aquí la gente tiene más inteligencia que en nuestras ciudades. Me he dicho, una vez para todas, que no debo mezclarme en tus negocios ni pedirte cuentas; mientras tienes tú quizás el espíritu preocupado sabe Dios en qué pensamientos, ¿habría de ir a distraerte con preguntas inoportunas?... ¡Ah, Dios mío!... ¿Ves, Rodia? Ahora estaba preparándome a leer, por tercera vez, el artículo que has publicado en una Revista. Demetrio Prokofitch me lo ha traído. Ha sido para mí una verdadera revelación; desde el primer momento lo he comprendido todo y he reconocido lo tonta que he sido. «He aquí lo que le preocupa, me he dicho; da vueltas en su cabeza a ideas nuevas y no gusta que se le aparte de sus reflexiones; todos los grandes talentos son así.» A pesar de la atención con que yo lo leo, hay en tu artículo, hijo mío, muchas cosas que no entiendo; pero, como soy ignorante, no me asombra el no comprenderlo todo. —Enséñamelo, mamá. Raskolnikoff tomó el número de la Revista, y echó una rápida ojeada sobre su artículo. Todo autor experimenta siempre un vivo placer al verse impreso por la primera vez, sobre todo cuando no tiene más que veintitrés años. Aunque presa de las más crueles angustias, nuestro héroe no pudo substraerse a esta impresión; pero sólo le duró un instante. Después de haber leído algunas líneas, frunció el entrecejo y sintió que le oprimía el corazón terrible sufrimiento. Esta lectura le trajo de repente a la memoria todas las agitaciones morales de los últimos meses; así es que arrojó con violenta repulsión el periódico sobre la mesa. —Pero, por tonta que yo sea, Rodia—siguió la madre—, puedo, sin embargo, juzgar que de aquí a poco tiempo ocuparás uno de los primeros puestos, si no el primero, en el mundo de la ciencia. ¡Y se han atrevido a suponer que estabas loco!...

Novela: Crimen y castigo Autor: Fiódor M. Dostoievski SEXTA PARTE CAP I La situación de Raskolnikoff era muy extraña; parecía que una especie de niebla le envolvía y aislaba del resto de los hombres. Cuando, andando el tiempo, se acordaba de este período de su vida, adivinaba que había debido de perder muchas veces la conciencia de sí mismo y que tal estado de ánimo hubo de prolongarse y durar, con ciertos intervalos lúcidos, hasta la catástrofe definitiva. Estaba positivamente convencido de que había incurrido en muchos desaciertos: por ejemplo, el de no haber advertido a menudo la sucesión cronológica de los acontecimientos. Por lo menos, cuando más adelante quiso coordinar sus recuerdos, fuéle forzoso recurrir a testimonios extraños para saber muchas particularidades acerca de sí mismo. Confundía marcadamente los hechos, o consideraba tal incidente como consecuencia de otro que sólo existía en su imaginación. A veces sentíase dominado por un temor morboso que degeneraba en terror pánico; pero se acordaba también de que había tenido momentos, horas, y tal vez días, en los cuales, por el contrario estuvo sumido en una apatía triste sólo comparable con la indiferencia de ciertos moribundos. En general, en este último tiempo, lejos de procurar darse cuenta exacta de su situación, hacía esfuerzos para no pensar en ella. Algunos hechos de la vida corriente que no admitían dilación, se imponían, a pesar suyo, a su mente; por lo contrario, se complacía en desdeñar cuestiones cuyo olvido, en una posición como la suya, por fuerza había de serle fatal. Tenía, sobre todo, miedo a Svidrigailoff. Desde que este último le había repetido las palabras por él pronunciadas en casa de Sonia, los pensamientos de Raskolnikoff tomaron una dirección nueva. Pero aunque esta complicación imprevista le inquietaba mucho, el joven no se apresuraba a poner las cosas en claro. A veces, cuando vagaba por algún barrio lejano y solitario, o cuando se veía solo sentado a la mesa de un mal cafetín, sin saber por qué se encontraba allí, pensaba en Svidrigailoff y se prometía tener lo más pronto posible una explicación decisiva con aquel hombre que era para él una constante pesadilla. Cierto día fué casualmente a pasear por las afueras y se le figuró que había dado cita a Svidrigailoff en aquel lugar. Otra vez, al despertarse antes de la aurora, se quedó estupefacto al verse tendido en tierra, en medio de un bosquecillo. Por lo demás, durante los dos o tres días que siguieron a la muerte de Catalina Ivanovna, Raskolnikoff encontró dos o tres veces a Svidrigailoff, primero en el cuarto de Sonia, y después en el vestíbulo, al lado de la escalera, del domicilio de la joven. En ambas ocasiones los dos hombres se limitaron a cambiar algunas palabras muy breves, absteniéndose de tocar el punto capital, como si, por acuerdo tá[221]cito, se hubiesen entendido para dejar de lado momentáneamente aquella cuestión. El cadáver de Catalina Ivanovna estaba todavía insepulto. Svidrigailoff tomaba las disposiciones relativas a los funerales. Sonia estaba también ocupadísima. En el último encuentro, Svidrigailoff contó a Rodia que sus gestiones en favor de los hijos de Catalina Ivanovna habían sido coronadas por el éxito: gracias a la influencia de ciertos personajes amigos suyos, pudo, según decía, conseguir la admisión de los tres niños en muy buen asilo. Los mil quinientos rublos colocados a nombre de ellos no habían contribuído poco a este resultado, porque se admitían con muchas menos dificultades a los huérfanos que poseían un capitalito que a aquellos otros que carecían de recursos. Añadió algunas palabras a propósito de Sonia, prometió pasar uno de aquellos días por casa de Raskolnikoff, y dió a entender que existían ciertos asuntos de los que quería tratar reservadamente con él...

After two months of laying low and recovering from their near fatal encounter on Rodia, The Crew head to Onderon to negotiate a possible alliance against The Exchange Crime Syndicate.

Novela: Crimen y castigo Autor: Fiódor M. Dostoievski TERCERA PARTE CAP VI —No lo creo. No puedo creerlo—repetía Razumikin, que hacía toda clase de esfuerzos para rechazar las conclusiones de Raskolnikoff. Estaban ya cerca de la casa Bakalaieff en donde hacía largo tiempo los esperaban Pulkeria Alexandrovna y Dunia. En el calor de la discusión, Razumikin se detenía a cada instante en medio de la calle; estaba muy agitado, porque era la primera vez que los dos jóvenes hablaban de aquello sin valerse de palabras encubiertas. —No lo creas si no quieres—respondió con fría e indiferente sonrisa Raskolnikoff—. Tú, según tu costumbre, nada has advertido; pero yo, yo he pesado cada palabra. —Tú eres desconfiado; por eso descubres en todas partes segundas intenciones. ¡Hum!... Reconozco, en efecto, que el tono de Porfirio era bastante extraño y sobre todo el de ese bribón de Zametoff... Tienes razón, se advertía en él no sé qué... ¿pero cómo puede ser esto? —Habrá cambiado de opinión desde ayer. —No, te engañas. Si tuviesen tan estúpida idea, habrían, por el contrario, puesto mucho cuidado en disimularla; habrían ocultado su juego a fin de inspirarte una engañosa confianza, esperando el momento oportuno para descubrir sus baterías... En la hipótesis en que te colocas, su manera de proceder hoy sería tan torpe como desvergonzada... —Si tuviesen pruebas, hablo de pruebas serias o de presunciones un tanto fundadas, cierto que sin duda se esforzarían en ocultar su juego con la esperanza de obtener nuevas ventajas sobre mí. (Además, habrían hecho un registro en mi domicilio.) Pero no tienen pruebas, ni una sola; todo se reduce a conjeturas gratuitas, a suposiciones que no se apoyan en nada real, y por eso proceden descaradamente. Quizá no haya en todo ello más que el despecho de Porfirio, que rabia por no tener pruebas. Puede también que tenga intenciones... Parece inteligente; acaso haya querido asustarme... Por lo demás, es repugnante ocuparse en estas cosas. Dejémoslas. —¡Es odioso, odioso! Te comprendo. Pero... puesto que tratamos francamente de este asunto (y creo que hemos hecho bien), no vacilo en confesarte que desde hace mucho tiempo había advertido en ellos esa idea. Cierto que no se atrevían a formularla, que este pensamiento flotaba en su espíritu en el estado de duda vaga; pero demasiado es ya que hayan podido acogerla, aun bajo tal forma. ¿Y qué es lo que ha podido despertar en ellos tan abominables sospechas? ¡Si supieras cuánto furor me han hecho sentir! ¡Cómo! Un pobre estudiante agobiado por la miseria y la hipocondría, en vísperas de enfermedad grave que existía ya en él; un joven desconfiado, lleno de amor propio, que tiene la conciencia de su valer, encerrado desde hace seis meses en su habitación sin ver a nadie; que se presen[139]ta vestido de harapos, calzado con botas sin suela, ante miserables polizontes, cuya insolencia soporta, a quien se reclama a quema ropa el pago de una letra de cambio protestada, en una sala llena de gente y en donde hace un calor de treinta grados Réamur y cuyo aire está impregnado de olor insoportable de la pintura reciente... porque el desgraciado se desmaya al oír hablar de una persona en cuya casa ha estado la víspera y porque además tiene el estómago vacío... ¿hay motivos para sospechar de él? En tales condiciones, ¿cómo no había de desmayarse? ¡Y pensar que tales suposiciones caen sobre este desmayo! Tal es el punto de partida de la acusación. ¡Váyanse al diablo! Comprendo que todo esto te será mortificante; pero yo, en tu lugar, Rodia, me reiría de ellos en sus barbas, o mejor aún, les lanzaría al rostro mi desprecio en forma de salivazos; de este modo acabaría yo con ellos. ¡Valor! ¡Escúpeles! ¡Es vergonzoso! «Se ha despachado, convencido de lo que dice»—pensó Raskolnikoff...

Novela: Crimen y castigo Autor: Fiódor M. Dostoievski TERCERA PARTE CAP III —¡Va bien, va bien!—exclamó alegremente Zosimoff viendo entrar a las dos mujeres. El doctor había llegado diez minutos antes y ocupaba en el sofá el mismo sitio que la víspera. Raskolnikoff, sentado en el otro extremo, estaba completamente vestido; habíase tomado también el trabajo de lavarse y peinarse, cosas ambas que no acostumbraba desde hacía algún tiempo. Aunque con la llegada de Razumikin y de las dos señoras quedó llena la habitación, Anastasia logró colocarse detrás de ellas, y se quedó para es[116]cuchar la conversación. Efectivamente Raskolnikoff estaba bien, pero su palidez era extrema y parecía absorto en una triste idea. Cuando Pulkeria Alexandrovna entró con su hija, Zosimoff advirtió con sorpresa el sentimiento que se reveló en la fisonomía del enfermo. En vez de alegría era una especie de estoicismo resignado; parecía que el joven hacía un llamamiento a todas sus fuerzas para soportar durante una hora o dos un tormento inevitable. Cuando la conversación se hubo entablado, observó también el médico que cada palabra abría como una herida en el alma de su cliente; pero al mismo tiempo se asombraba de ver a este último relativamente dueño de sí mismo. El monomaníaco frenético de la víspera sabía ahora dominarse hasta cierto punto y disimular sus impresiones. —Sí, veo ahora que estoy casi curado—dijo Raskolnikoff, besando a su madre y a su hermana con una cordialidad que hizo brillar de alegría el rostro de Pulkeria Alexandrovna—. Y no lo digo como ayer—añadió dirigiéndose a Razumikin y estrechándole la mano. —También yo estoy asombrado de su notable mejoría—dijo Zosimoff—. De aquí a tres o cuatro días, si esto continúa, se encontrará como antes, es decir, como estaba hace uno o dos meses, o quizá tres, porque esta enfermedad se hallaba latente desde hace tiempo, ¿eh? Confiese ahora que tenía usted alguna parte de culpa—terminó con sonrisa reprimida el doctor, temeroso de irritar al enfermo. —Es muy posible—replicó fríamente Raskolnikoff. —Ahora que se puede hablar con usted—prosiguió Zosimoff—, quisiera convencerle de que es necesario apartarse de las causas primeras, a las cuales hay que atribuir su estado morboso. Si usted hace eso, se curará; de lo contrario, se agravará su mal. Ignoro cuáles son estas causas primeras; pero usted, de seguro, las conoce. Es usted un hombre inteligente, y, sin duda, se observa a sí mismo. Me parece que su salud se ha alterado desde que salió de la Universidad. Usted no puede estar sin ocupación. Le conviene, a mi entender, trabajar, proponerse un proyecto, y perseguirlo tenazmente. —Sí, sí, tiene usted razón; volveré a la Universidad lo más pronto posible, y entonces todo marchará como una seda. El doctor dió sus sabios consejos con la intención, en parte, de producir efecto en las señoras. Cuando hubo acabado, miró fijamente a su cliente, y se quedó un poco desconcertado al advertir que el rostro de éste expresaba franca burla. Sin embargo, Zosimoff se consoló bien pronto de su decepción, Pulkeria Alexandrovna se apresuró a darle las gracias manifestándole, en particular, su reconocimiento por la visita que les hizo la noche anterior. —¡Cómo! ¿Fué a ver a ustedes anoche?—preguntó Raskolnikoff con voz inquieta—. ¿De modo que no habéis descansado después de un viaje tan penoso? —¡Si no eran más que las dos, querido Rodia, y, en casa, Dunia y yo no nos acostamos nunca antes de esa hora! —No sé cómo darles las gracias—continuó Raskolnikoff, que de repente frunció las cejas y bajó la cabeza—. Prescindiendo de la cuestión de dinero (perdóneme usted si hago alusión a ella)—dijo dirigiéndose a Zosimoff—, no me explico cómo he podido merecer de usted tal interés. No lo comprendo, y aun diré que tanta benevolencia me pesa, pues es ininteligible para mí...

Novela: Crimen y castigo Autor: Fiódor M. Dostoievski TERCERA PARTE CAP I Raskolnikoff se incorporó y se sentó en el diván, e invitando con una leve seña a Razumikin a que suspendiese el curso de su elocuencia consoladora, tomó la mano a su hermana y a su madre y las contempló alternativamente durante dos minutos, sin proferir palabra. Había en su mirada, impregnada de dolorosa sensibilidad, algo de fijo y de insensato. Pulkeria Alexandrovna, asustada, se echó a llorar. Advocia Romanovna estaba pálida y le temblaba la mano que tenía entre las de su hermano. —Vuélvete a casa con él—dijo Rodia con voz entrecortada, señalando a Razumikin—. Mañana, mañana... todo. ¿Cuándo habéis llegado? —Esta noche—respondió Pulkeria Alexandrovna—. El tren traía mucho retraso. Pero ahora, Rodia, por nada del mundo consentiría en separarme de ti. Pasaré la noche a tu lado... —¡No me atormentéis!—replicó Raskolnikoff con cierta irritación. —Yo me quedaré aquí con él—saltó vivamente Razumikin—; no le dejaré ni un minuto, y que se vayan al diablo mis convidados. Que se incomoden, si quieren. Además, allí está mi tío para hacer el papel de anfitrión. —¡Cómo agradecérselo a usted!—empezó a decir Pulkeria Alexandrovna, estrechando de nuevo las manos de Razumikin; pero su hijo le atajó la palabra. —No puedo, no puedo...—repitió con tono irritado—; no me atormentéis más. Basta, idos; ¡no puedo!... —Retirémonos, mamá—indicó en voz baja Dunia, inquieta—; salgamos de la habitación, por lo menos, un instante; está visto que nuestra presencia le atormenta. —¿Será posible que no pueda estar un momento con él, después de tres años de separación?—gimió Pulkeria Alexandrovna. —Esperad un poco—dijo Raskolnikoff—. Me interrumpís y pierdo el hilo de mis ideas... ¿Habéis visto a Ludjin? —No, Rodia; pero ya tiene noticias de nuestra llegada. Sabemos que ha tenido la bondad de venir a verte hoy—añadió con cierta timidez Pulkeria Alexandrovna. —Sí. Ha tenido esa bondad... Dunia, le dije a Ludjin que iba a tirarle por la escalera... —¿Qué dices, hijo? Pero, ¿tú? ¿Tú?... No es posible—comenzó a decir la madre asustada; pero una mirada de Dunia le impidió continuar. Advocia Romanovna, con los ojos fijos en su hermano, esperaba que éste se explicase con mayor claridad. Informadas de la querella por Anastasia, que se la había contado a su manera y según la entendió, las dos señoras se encontraban perplejas. —Dunia—prosiguió, haciendo un esfuerzo, Raskolnikoff—, yo me opongo a ese enlace; por consiguiente, despide mañana a Ludjin y que no se vuelva a hablar más de él. —¡Dios mío!—exclamó Pulkeria Alexandrovna. —Hermano mío, piensa un poco en lo que dices—observó con vehemencia Dunia; pero en seguida se contuvo—. No te encuentras ahora en tu estado normal: estás fatigado—añadió con tono cariñoso. —Que deliro, ¿no es eso? No... te engañas; quieres casarte con Ludjin por mí, pero yo rehuso ese sacrificio. Así, pues, mañana le escribes una carta rompiendo tu compromiso, me la lees a primera hora, la mandas, y asunto concluído. —Yo no puedo hacer eso—exclamó la joven, un tanto mortificada—. ¿Con qué derecho...? —Dunia, tú también te exaltas. Hasta mañana... ¿Pero no estás viendo?—balbuceó la madre con temor, dirigiéndose a su hija—. Vamos, vamos; será lo mejor. —No sabe lo que se dice—exclamó Razumikin con voz que denunciaba su embriaguez—; de lo contrario, no se permitiría... Mañana será razonable... Hoy, en efecto, ha echado con cajas destempladas a ese sujeto; el buen señor se ha incomodado. Estuvo aquí perorando en pro de sus teorías. Después se marchó con las orejas gachas...

Novela: Crimen y castigo Autor: Fiódor M. Dostoievski PRIMERA PARTE CAP IV La carta de su madre le había impresionado extraordinariamente; pero el asunto principal de ella no le hizo vacilar ni un momento. Desde el primer instante, aun antes de acabar de leerla, tenía tomada ya su resolución. «En tanto que yo viva no se celebrará este matrimonio; que se vaya al diablo el señor Ludjin. »¡La cosa está bien clara!—murmuraba sonriendo, con aire de triunfo como si tuviese la clave de lo sucedido—. ¡No, madre; no, Dunia! ¡no lograréis engañarme!... ¡Y todavía se disculpan de no haberme pedido mi opinión, y por haber resuelto el asunto sin mí! ¡Ya lo creo, suponen que no es posible romper la unión proyectada! ¡Eso ya lo veremos! ¿Y qué razón es la que alegan? «Pedro Petrovitch es un hombre tan ocupado, que sólo puede casarse a toda prisa.» »No, Dunetchka, no; lo adivino todo. Sé lo que querías comunicarme, sé también lo que pensabas durante toda la noche que has pasado paseándote por tu habitación o rezando a Nuestra Señora de Kazán, cuya imagen está en la alcoba de nuestra madre. ¡Qué penosa es la subida del Gólgota!... ¡Oh!... Está bien combinado; te casas con un hombre de negocios, muy práctico y que posee ya un capital (lo cual es de tenerse muy en cuenta), que tiene dos empleos y que participa, según mamá, de las ideas de las modernas generaciones. Dunetchka misma observa que le «parece» bueno; ¡ese parece es muy significativo! Bajo la fe de una apariencia, Dunetchka va a casarse con él... ¡Admirable!... ¡Admirable!... »Me gustaría saber por qué mi madre ha hablado en su carta de las «generaciones modernas». ¿Es sencillamente para caracterizar el personaje, o ha sido con ob[24]jeto de captar mis simpatías para el señor Ludjin? ¡Vaya una estratagema! Hay una circunstancia que desearía esclarecer. ¿Hasta qué punto han sido francas, durante el día y la noche que precedieron a la resolución de Dunetchka? ¿Hubo entre ellas una explicación formal, o se comprendieron mutuamente sin tener casi necesidad de cambiar sus ideas? A juzgar por la carta, me inclinaría más bien hacia esta última suposición: mi madre le ha encontrado un poco seco, y en su candidez, ha comunicado su observación a Dunia. Pero ésta, naturalmente, se ha enfadado y respondió de mal humor. »¡Lo comprendo! desde el momento en que la decisión estaba tomada, no había que volver sobre ella; la advertencia de mi madre era, por lo menos, inútil. ¿Y por qué me escribe diciéndome: «quiere a Dunia, ¡oh Rodia!, porque ella te quiere más que a sí misma»? ¿Le remordería la conciencia por haber sacrificado su hija a su hijo? «Tú eres nuestra felicidad en el porvenir, tú lo eres todo para nosotras.» ¡Oh madre mía!... Por instantes aumentaba la indignación de Raskolnikoff, y si entonces hubiera encontrado al señor Ludjin, probablemente le habría matado. —Es verdad—continuó, siguiendo el vuelo de los pensamientos que le hervían en la cabeza—; «es verdad que, para conocer a cualquiera, es preciso haberle tratado largamente y observádole con cuidado.» ¡Pero el señor Ludjin no es difícil de descifrar! Ante todo, es un hombre de negocios y parece bueno. Aquello de «quiero proporcionaros un gran cajón» es verdaderamente chusco. ¿Cómo dudar, en vista de este rasgo tan rumboso, de su bondad? Su futura y su suegra van a ponerse en camino en el carro de un campesino sin más defensa contra la lluvia que un mal toldo... ¡Qué importa! el trayecto hasta la estación no es más que de noventa verstas; «en seguida entraremos en un coche de tercera», para recorrer mil verstas; tiene razón; es preciso cortar el traje según la tela; pero usted, señor Ludjin, ¿en qué piensa usted? Vamos a ver, ¿no se trata de su futura esposa? ¿Y cómo puede usted ignorar que para emprender semejante viaje tiene la madre que tomar un préstamo sobre su pensión?...

Do najnovšej epizódy Startitup Diskusný Klub prijal pozvanie textár, umelec a podnikateľ Michal Horáček, ktorý stojí za mnohými známymi pesničkami na českej a slovenskej hudobnej scéne. Je podľa neho na tejto scéne niekto podobný Mekymu Žbirkovi? V rozhovore prezradil, či považuje dnešnú hudbu za menej kvalitnú ako bola v 70. a 80. rokoch, ale aj ako mu kandidatúra na českého prezidenta zmenila pohľad na politiku. Michal Horáček založil stávkovú kanceláriu Fortuna a nie je tajomstvom, že stávkovanie je jeho záľuba. V rozhovore sa dozvieš aj jeho pohľad na očkovaciu lotériu, ktorá mala na Slovensku podporiť očkovanie. Nenechaj si ujsť najnovší rozhovor so Šimonom Žďárským.

Na Slovensku v spojení s feministickým aktivizmom často hovoríme o boji so sexuálnou objektifikáciou, o odstraňovaní domáceho či intímneho partnerského násilia. No mnohé ženy na Slovensku majú tiež skúsenosť s inštitucionalizovaným násilím v pôrodniciach kde dochádza k porušovaniu ich autonómie – majú skúsenosť s invazívnou medicínskou praxou či porušovaním informovaného súhlasu. Pôrodný aktivizmus je tiež prejavom sociálnych hnutí za práva žien. O kritike patriarchátu v zdravotníckych zariadenia a o ich aktivistickej práci sme sa bavili so Zuzanou Límovou a Miroslavou Rašmanovou.

150 years after TROS. There hasn’t been rumors of a Sith since Palpatine was finally destroyed. The Skywalker name is synonymous with light-side force users. This is a great time for the people of the galaxy, and an even better time for gangsters, syndicates, and nefarious groups who would prey upon the people without the watchful eye of a ruling power. Your group also takes advantage of these prosperous times. They’ve been working together for some time now and their next adventure takes them to the planet of Kaldeen, where local crime boss and notorious gangster Rodia the Hutt has their next mission. Enter the first episode of the Star Warriors RPG - The Temple of Shi’ran Dah. If you're a fan of Star Wars (you're listening right?) and RPGs, then this is the episode for you as the gang takes a trip to a galaxy far, far away and you experience a FULL roleplaying session.

Attempting to leave RODIA behind, the crew was intercepted by an H-K droid who demanded they turn over KAIO or he would kill them. Of course, they resisted, and managed to kick the hunter-droid loose – but not before TAZI’s father escaped the ship and found himself in unfriendly hands. Now the crew needs to […]

TAZI’s father has been saved, but at what cost to his mind and soul? The crew have built some bridges on RODIA, and burned others, so now it is up to them to decide what to do next. Some choices are better than others, but sometimes the choice is made for you…

A trip through RODIA’s underworld has the crew splitting up to cover all their bases. Half of them continuing the search for where they might find TAZI’s father, and the other half risking their skins at an underground event in search of their missing bounty hunter …. Show Notes: Redemption will be at GrandCon on […]

The music in this episode includes"March of the Ewoks" from John William's soundtrack to Return of the Jedi and selections from Kevin Kiner's soundtrack to Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The outro for this episode is "Rodia."  

After an enforced interview and detention with law enforcement, the crew continues their investigation to try and find TAZI’s father before he can kill a senator. Personal tensions and misleading information cause more problems, and another trip into RODIA’s seedy underbelly may make matters even worse than they thought …  

Here is our long overdue tourist guide on the city's most famous and recognizable landmarks.  Whichever ones you're thinking of, they're in here.  But not that one.  Think of a better one.

Ce matin on découvre le projet Dongri-Niman de l'association Benkadi-Joie production à Besançon, projet qui vise à favorier les échanges culturels avec l'Afrique. Concert à la Rodia, Festival entre France & Afrique...au rythme du blues africain....sont au coeur du projet.

GM Chris is back, baby, yeeeaaahhhh!!!! [cough] Did you all miss me? In any event, it's good to be not only back home, but behind a mic - in GM Dave's studio no less! We've got a skype-less broadcast for you today, as we sound off about the Jedi Master Prestige Class, hear of Cody's disdain for Rodia, and check in with a wounded TK-421. Watto also hooks me up with some illegal swag, and we debut a brand new segment that highlights gaming moments of GLORY! Sit back, younglings, and relax - as we bombard your ear-drums with some SWSE goodness, extreme fanboy-ism, and a handful of overly-academic vocabulary words. Peace, Love, and Good Gaming!
