Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.In this solo episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show, Rhonda dives into one of the most common struggles writers face—imposter syndrome. If you've ever heard that insidious voice whisper, “Who do you think you are?” or “Your writing isn't good enough,” this episode is your reminder that you're not alone—and that voice is lying.Drawing on thousands of weekly check-ins from writers inside her First Book Finish program, Rhonda unpacks why imposter syndrome shows up (especially for those working on their first book), and how to move through it without letting it derail your progress.Rhonda shares personal stories and writing truths, including:Why even published and award-winning writers still struggle with imposter syndromeHow our brains look for “proof” that we can't do something when we're learning new skillsThe dangerous myth of a “magical moment” when you'll finally feel good enough to writeShe also explores how our culture reinforces the idea that you're not a “real writer” until you've published something big, and how that messaging gets internalized—especially if you haven't yet finished your first book.But here's the heart of the message: Writing is a skill you can learn. Just like you once learned to cook, lift weights, or drive a car, you can also learn how to write compelling dialogue, structure scenes, or move your story across timelines.Rhonda encourages writers to trade perfectionism for progress, and comparison for compassion. She offers a powerful mantra that has helped her and many of her students silence that inner critic:

In this technical deep-dive episode, Generation AI hosts Ardis Kadiu and Dr. JC Bonilla unpack Andre Karpathy's groundbreaking keynote on "Software 3.0" - the third revolution in how we tell computers what to do. They explore how we've moved from writing explicit code (Software 1.0) through neural networks (Software 2.0) to programming in plain English with LLMs (Software 3.0). The discussion reveals why LLMs represent a new computing paradigm comparable to the shift from mainframes to personal computers, and why Karpathy believes we're still in the "1960s era" of this revolution. Most importantly, they examine the massive opportunities this creates - from rebuilding infrastructure to creating agent-first applications - and why every software company needs to adapt or risk disruption. Whether you're a developer, entrepreneur, or education professional, this episode provides essential insights into the decade-long transformation ahead.Introduction and Context Setting (00:00:07)Decision to do a "geeky episode" after last week's personal discussionIntroduction to Andre Karpathy's Y Combinator keynote "Software is Evolving Again"Karpathy's background: Tesla self-driving, OpenAI co-founderSetting up the framework for understanding software evolutionSoftware 1.0: The Era of Explicit Instructions (00:03:55)Timeline: 1950s to 2010sProgramming with explicit instructions in languages like Python, C, COBOLDeterministic and predictable behaviorExample: Writing functions to classify spam emails with specific keywordsHow traditional developers were trained in this paradigmSoftware 2.0: Neural Networks as Programs (00:04:59)Timeline: 2010s to 2020sPrograms written as neural network weights instead of codeHumans become data curators rather than code writersTraining as the new form of "compiling" programsExample: Training neural networks on billions of emails for spam detectionThe shift from deterministic to probabilistic programmingSoftware 3.0: Natural Language Programming (00:07:00)Timeline: 2020s onwardProgramming in English through promptingLLMs as programmable computersEveryone becomes a programmerExample: Simply asking an LLM to "classify this email as spam or not"The democratization of programmingLLMs as the New Operating System (00:10:26)Three perspectives: utilities, fabrication plants, and operating systemsLLMs as utilities: like electricity, metered access, high reliabilityLLMs as fabs: enormous capital requirements, deep technical secretsLLMs as OS: new computing platform with CPU (LLM) and RAM (context window)Comparison to 1960s mainframe era -

In this episode of Nomadic Diaries, we sat down with Tanya Crossman, a leading expert on Third Culture Kids (TCKs) whose personal experiences and professional work have made her a trusted voice in the global mobility community. Tanya's Third Culture Journey Tanya Crossman's journey as a TCK began with moves between Australia and the United States during her childhood, following her father's career path. Her cross-cultural experiences deepened significantly when she later spent 13 years living and working in China. These formative experiences across different continents gave her unique insights into the TCK experience that would later inform her professional work and writing. Finding Community Among the Misunderstood After years of feeling like an outsider in her own culture, Tanya discovered the profound relief of finding others who shared similar experiences. This revelation became the foundation of her life's work, as captured in her powerful quote: "I'm not alone has become a mantra for so much of the work that I do." Defining the Third Culture Experience Tanya brings clarity to what it means to be a Third Culture Kid, addressing common misconceptions and explaining that the "third culture" isn't a specific place but rather the shared experience of growing up among different cultural worlds. She explores how TCKs develop a unique cultural identity that combines elements from their passport culture, host cultures, and the expatriate community itself. Emotional Intelligence and TCK Challenges One of the most valuable insights Tanya shares is how the TCK experience can affect emotional development:A tendency toward emotional suppression as a survival mechanism during frequent transitionsHow this suppression can hinder the development of healthy conflict resolution skillsThe importance of creating safe spaces for TCKs to process complex emotions about mobility, identity, and belongingGuidance for Parents and Caregivers Tanya offers practical wisdom for parents raising children across cultures:The importance of preventive care rather than crisis interventionCreating environments where emotions can be expressed safely and processedUnderstanding that TCKs are "growing up in a completely different world than you are"Recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities that come with a globally mobile childhoodResources for the TCK Journey Tanya highlights the growing body of resources available to support TCKs and their families:Her book, "Misunderstood," which explores common threads in TCK experiences"Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds" (often called the TCK Bible)Practical tools for parents, educators, and caregivers working with globally mobile children Connect with Tanya For more resources on supporting Third Culture Kids:Personal website:  tanyacrossman.com TCK Training:  tcktraining.com  Support the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with Confidence.

Welcome to our special Anthropy25 mini-series, recorded live at the Eden Project in Cornwall! Anthropy brings together business leaders, politicians, NGOs, and emerging leaders to tackle society's biggest sustainability challenges. In this episode, we speak with Andy Middleton about place-based change, breakthrough businesses, and what he calls "the cool stuff that hasn't been tried yet." Andy shares insights on how funding structures often discourage collaboration and how changing this could accelerate sustainability solutions. He also discusses the potential of hyper-localism and the importance of embracing uncertainty as we transition to a more sustainable future.

«You bring in the knowledge of what works in real life and what doesn't. That is actually what you are being paid for.»With a year behind him as a solo entrepreneur in his own company, Datakor Consulting, Juha Korpela takes us on a journey through fact-finding-missions at what he calls "the middle layer" of organizations — the strategic area between high-level business strategy and tactical project execution. It is here, he believes, that data consultants can create the most significant and lasting value.We discuss the pitfalls of standardized frameworks and "blueprint" approaches offered by many consulting firms, and why tailored solutions based on a deep understanding of organizational culture always yield better results. Juha shares his methods for knowledge transfer that ensure organizations can continue succeeding with their data work long after the consultant has left the project.Here are Winfried´s key takeaways:SkillsThe key skill as a data consultant, no matter if on a strategic or solution, project level is to understand «what the customer really needs.»The key skills are: Listening. Active listening is the key to understanding.Create mental models: when talking to stakeholder you need to be able to put the information you capture together in a mental model.Understanding.Tech comes after.Working with data modeling is about listening to stories about how business work. Understanding business processes are key.Understanding stories about business and what is relevant for data modeling is a skill that everyone can profit from, but that is seldom taught.Data Modeling is a fact-finding-mission.It is about understanding what the organization does, how it does things, and where this could be improved.ImpactA data consultants impact is dependent on the organization, the structure, and the level of maturity.If there is a CDO or CIO to connect to it can be a good way to create results and visibility.Also as a data consultant it is important find a place in the organization where you have shared views and understanding.If you begin bottom-up you need to be ready to sell this upwards in the organization.LimitsConsultants can help with the initial projects to get you started.Consultants can help figuring out processes and operating model and design what is needed.Organizations need to create long-term ownership in house.Running and maintaining needs to fit with the organizations culture, its s structure, needs, maturity, etc.Models, blueprints, frameworks that you get from the outside can get you started, but do not work in the long run.PatternsData Consultants can see certain patterns emerging across an industry.That knowledge on patterns, lessons learnt, experiences is valuable to apply.That knowledge you bring in is what defines your value, more than specific skills.It is easy for people in organizations to get stuck.
