What does it actually look like to embed social impact into the DNA of a leading tech company — not as a PR footnote, but as a core operating principle? This week, we sit down with Jessica Hyman, the person at Atlassian tasked with answering exactly that question.As a key part of the Atlassian Foundation and the company's Chief Sustainability Officer, Jessica oversees everything from Atlassian's environmental commitments to its global social impact programs. We dig into how she navigates the tension between ambitious sustainability goals and the realities of running a high-growth software company, what the Atlassian Foundation is building for the long term, and why she thinks the tools teams use every day — yes, including Jira — can shape a more equitable future of work.This discussion looks beyond the typical outcomes such as new features of Rovo to understand how one of the world's biggest collaboration platforms approaches its obligations to the planet and its communities. If you're ready to look at Atlassian from a different perspective, this conversation is for you.Thank you to ikuTeam for connecting and collaborating with The Jira Life. https://ikuteam.comThe Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?

Birthday episode!

Going for a Hike in a California Park? Don't Forget Your Sewing Supplies Hiking clubs are nothing new. But a group in Los Angeles is now trying to stretch their creative muscles while making new community. Los Angeles' Hike and Sew members gather every other week in Los Angeles to get into nature with their needle and thread.  Reporter Clare Wiley joined the group as part of our Community Connections series, highlighting Californians who are bringing joy to their neighbors in big and small ways.  Motorized Wheelchairs Making Back Country Hiking More Accessible California is home to more than 18,000 miles of hiking trails. But many of them are out of reach for people with physical disabilities. In Southern California, the city of Burbank is trying to change that. A new program lets people borrow motorized, off-road wheelchairs to explore rugged trails that were once inaccessible. Susan Valot reports that advocates are hoping to open up this option to thousands more people in the state.  How to Explore Muir Woods After Dark Marin County is home to Muir Woods – known for its historic redwood trees. It's one of the most visited national parks sites in the country, even though you can't camp there. But as KQED's outdoors reporter Sarah Wright tells us, once a month, park-goers who nab a ticket can  experience the wonders of the park at night.  How an Altadena Monster Sparked Community Tensions After the Eaton Fire burned through Altadena a year and half ago, an unusual sight reappeared amid the ashes and debris: a giant werewolf wearing a t-shirt with a big rainbow-colored heart that said “I Love Altadena”. The mysterious lycanthrope became a source of inspiration and resilience as the community continued to recover and rebuild. And then, as with any good werewolf story, the full moon appeared, a transformation happened and the pitchforks came out. But in the end, peace prevailed. Reporter Steven Cuevas has the story.

What does effective climate action look like in a conservative state, and how can clean energy actually save people money?In this episode of 50 Shades of Green, host Phil sits down with Sarah Wright, Founder of Utah Clean Energy, for a wide-ranging conversation on practical, people-centered climate solutions. Drawing on her background in geology and public health, Sarah explains why Utah Clean Energy focuses on energy efficiency, building electrification, zero-emission homes, clean transportation, and grid decarbonization, and how these strategies improve both air quality and household affordability.Sarah shares how reframing climate change as a health, community, and economic issue has helped bring together unlikely allies, including the creation of Utah's Climate and Clean Air Compact with more than 200 business, faith, and civic leaders. She also discusses why fuel-free resources like wind and solar protect families from volatile energy costs, and how smart building design can deliver billions in long-term savings.The conversation closes with lessons from nearly two decades of climate advocacy, from finding shared values in tough negotiations to making sure renters and low-income households aren't left behind.

Bob and Josh dig into a recent HBR article on the leadership case for friendship-based culture. Not the toxic "we're a family" version, but something real, where leaders model and encourage genuine relationships, invest in face-to-face time, and treat connection as the glue that holds organizations together through hard seasons. Bob shares how friends at work covered for him during a brutal divorce, Josh argues the tightest bonds come from shared struggle, and both call BS on the "we're too big for this" excuse. The leadership payoff is real, from retention to easier hard conversations to organizational resilience.Radical Candor by Kim Scott (Bob's reference to "care personally and challenge directly")Employees Are Relying on AI for Personal Support.

Every Atlassian admin has been there — you're either locking everything down so tightly that users are filing tickets just to breathe, or you've said "yes" one too many times and now you've got 47 duplicate fields and a different workflow in every single space. So where's the line?This episode is less of an interview and more of a conversation — and we want you to be part of it. As we sit down with Nick Turner of the Turner Advisory Group, we're pulling in perspectives straight from the JiraAmigos community, because this is exactly the kind of topic where everyone has a war story, an opinion, or a hard-learned lesson worth hearing.We'll dig into what it actually looks like when an instance tips too far in either direction. On one end, the over-governed environment built more for the admin than the everyday user — where guardrails have become gates and friction is everywhere. On the other, the anything-goes instance where customization has quietly spiraled into chaos, half the fields don't work, and no two teams are operating the same way.Nick brings his perspective from the Turner Advisory Group, the hosts bring theirs, and we want you bringing yours too. As you listen, we're challenging you to think honestly about your own instance — which direction are you leaning? How much of that is intentional, and how much just... happened?We also get into how much context matters here, because what works at a few hundred users can fall apart fast at a few thousand.Pull up a chair. This one's a group discussion.Thank you to ikuTeam for connecting and collaborating with The Jira Life. https://ikuteam.comThe Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?

This Northern California Tribe is Reclaiming Mendocino Forest For Future Generations The Potter Valley band of the Pomo people is the first tribe in California to use a Forest Service grant to create a community forest near Fort Bragg, in Mendocino County. It will soon be a place where the tribe can offer youth camps and community events all year round. KQED's Outdoors reporter Sarah Wright attended a mushroom foraging event on this ancestral land, which will now remain a forest for generations to come. New Film Follows Indigenous Teens Kayaking the Klamath River After Dam Removal A new documentary from Oregon Public Broadcasting follows a group of Indigenous teenagers as they kayak more than 300 miles down the Klamath River. They're the first to paddle the entire length of the Klamath after four dams were taken down in 2024 — the largest dam removal in US history. First Descent: Kayaking the Klamath was filmed over the course of the monthlong paddle last summer, following the teens as they traversed waters that were allowed to flow freely again for the first time in 100 years. Host Vanessa Rancano speaks with the film's producer, Jessie Sears, and one of the paddlers featured in the film, 16-year-old Tasia Linwood.  In the 1970s, Bay Area Lesbians Created Their Own Economy San Francisco's Castro neighborhood is known all around the world as a gay mecca. But the city was also once home to a thriving, self-sustaining lesbian community in the city's Mission District. KQED Arts editor Nastia Voynovskaya takes us to a new historical exhibit. It tells the story of the lesbian-owned restaurants, printing presses and bookstores that offered a safe haven in the face of discrimination. Learn more about your ad choices.

"Instead of asking what's broken, we shine a spotlight on what's already good in people's lives" - Elena Fairley, Mission Asset Fund & Crankstart Foundation In part 5 of our Highlight Episodes from our Covid-19 Special Series, we reveal the hidden fault lines cracking San Francisco's foundation — from a downtown office vacancy rate that's the highest in the nation to a business tax structure so complex that one company slashed its city bill by 88% simply by going remote.  You will learn how local governments in San Jose and San Rafael reinvented their operations overnight, how Mission Asset Fund is rebuilding financial access for undocumented immigrants through community-centered lending circles and micro-loans, and why the city's much-debated office-to-housing conversions remain largely theoretical.  We also decode the 2022 ballot propositions that put the future of affordable housing, homelessness oversight, and public libraries directly in voters' hands. KEY TAKEAWAYS / TIMESTAMPS [01:23] - Local governments forced to digitize overnight: lessons from San Jose & San Rafael. [13:04] - 72% of SF's GDP was concentrated in the downtown core — here's what happened to it. [20:01] - The tax loophole that's incentivizing companies to quietly abandon San Francisco. [28:15] - Office-to-housing conversions: why costs, developers, and city hall are all pointing in different directions. [35:10] - How lending circles are rebuilding financial lives for San Francisco's most invisible residents. GUESTS Fifteen thought leaders shape this conversation, including Joaquin Torres, San Francisco's Assessor-Recorder, who led a $92M economic development office; Jeff Bellisario of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, whose research tracks the 10 trends driving post-COVID recovery; and Jose Quinonez, CEO of Mission Asset Fund, a MacArthur Fellow pioneering financial inclusion for immigrant communities.

What if dignity is a way of seeing that changes the kind of attention we pay to each other and to our world? Authenticity, human dignity and the courage to confront difficult truths are a common thread in the writing of Dr Beth-Sarah Wright who joins the podcast for this conversation during her recent visit to Brisbane. The Latin root of the word 'respect' is to look again. Everyone is worthy of respect, but sometimes we need to 'look again' to see beyond what we think we know about one another. Using 'dignity' as a lens has the power to shift conversation, prompting us to something different from our normal patterns and bridging the gap between what we say we believe and what we do. Beth-Sarah contends that, "Authentic people build authentic communities, creating a more just and dignified world for all." Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr Beth-Sarah Wright has over 27 years of experience in education, organisational culture and senior leadership, and is a sought after speaker for organisations as they seek to assess integrity and remain authentic to their identity.

Send us a textThe concept of dignity—the unwavering worth within each human being—lies at the heart of our religious traditions, political systems, and human interactions. But what does it mean to respect someone's dignity, especially when society has trained us to look away?In this episode, Melissa has a conversation with Dr. Beth Sarah Wright, author of "DIGNITY: Seven Strategies for Creating Authentic Community", centered on James 3:18. They discuss human dignity and how genuine community emerges when we honor each person's inherent value. "Dignity isn't a moral imperative, nor is it a political imperative—it really is a human imperative," Dr. Wright explains. She unpacks how respect etymologically means "to look again," challenging us to see beyond our initial judgments to recognize the full humanity in others. Listen in for the full conversation.Dr. Beth-Sarah Wright is an Atlanta-based author, dynamic speaker, and strategic thought partner who inspires and drives transformation in communities, institutions, and individual lives—all while centering human dignity.As Co-Founder and Executive Director of Thrive With Dignity, LLC, Dr. Wright partners with organizations to build authentic, thriving communities. She works with a wide range of institutions—schools and universities, corporations, nonprofits, and faith communities—using her signature DIGNITY Lens©. This powerful framework, grounded in seven strategic pillars, helps organizations interrogate their practices, align with their core values, and embed human dignity into the very structures that shape daily life. More than a framework, the DIGNITY Lens© is both a leadership tool and an integrity compass—empowering communities to increase capacity, make meaningful progress, and change outcomes in sustainable ways.She is the author of seven influential books, covering topics from organizational integrity and adaptive leadership to depression, healing, and spiritual growth. Her book DIGNITY: Seven Strategies for Creating Authentic Community (2020), selected as the 2023 featured book of the year by the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES), along with its companion The DIGNITY Lens Workbook, offers a practical and transformative approach to leadership, strategic decision-making, and creative problem-solving.

Send us a text"A wolf at the door" – that's how researchers describe the growing threat of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF), a potentially deadly tick-borne disease that's increasingly prevalent across the Americas. In this eye-opening conversation, Drs. Janet Foley and Andres Lopez-Perez challenge common misconceptions about this dangerous pathogen.Did you know the brown dog tick – a primary vector for RMSF – thrives in urban environments rather than wilderness areas? This tick commonly infests homes, yards, and kennels, putting dogs and their human families at risk even in cities and towns. Drs. Foley and Lopez-Perez emphasize that veterinarians serve as crucial frontline defenders through early detection and treatment, potentially saving both canine and human lives.Time is the enemy with RMSF. Each 2-3 day delay in starting doxycycline treatment doubles or triples the risk of death. While case fatality rates vary dramatically between regions, Drs. Foley and Lopez-Perez attribute these differences primarily to healthcare access and speed of diagnosis rather than bacterial strain differences. Their international collaborations reveal how the same disease manifests differently across various ecological settings from Brazil to Mexico to the United States yet shares common challenges requiring coordinated One Health solutions.For veterinarians, the key takeaway is maintaining a high index of suspicion for RMSF in endemic areas, even when symptoms initially appear vague. Despite today's focus on antimicrobial stewardship, the hosts emphasize that appropriate doxycycline use for suspected RMSF represents good medicine given the disease's potential lethality. Through greater awareness, timely intervention, and collaborative approaches across medical disciplines, we can better protect both animal and human health from this serious emerging threat.Listen now to understand the evolving ecology of this disease, learn practical approaches to diagnosis and prevention, and discover how your veterinary practice can play a vital role in addressing this significant One Health challenge.AJVR article: https://doi.org/10.2460/ajvr.24.11.0368JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.24.11.0756INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?
