Lorsque l'on te parle du futur de l'expérience clients, qu'est-ce qui te vient à l'esprit de ton côté ? J'ai, de mon côté, fait l'exercice en allant chercher ce que les nouvelles technologies pourraient amener. Et si, pour améliorer l'expérience client, on utilisait l'Intelligence Artificielle et le machine learning pour offrir une expérience personnalisée et en temps réel avec des recommandations et des conseils vraiment pertinents pour les clients ? Et si on utilisait la réalité augmentée et la réalité virtuelle pour offrir une expérience immersive pour les clients en leur proposant des essais virtuels de produits ou des visites virtuelles de magasins ou de destinations de voyage ? Et si on utilisait les NFTs pour ré-enchanter les bons vieux programmes de fidélité et associer les clients aux succès de l'entreprise ? Et si on utilisait les intelligences artificielles, les ChatGPT, les MidJourney ou autres Dall-e pour nourrir les expériences des clients ? Voici quatre pistes possibles que l'on pourrait d'ailleurs combiner, mais il y en a, bien évidemment, une foultitude à imaginer... sans oublier d'y adjoindre de l'émotion, beaucoup beaucoup d'émotion aussi. Pour dresser les pistes stratégiques possibles, bien comprendre les fondamentaux permettant d'imaginer le futur de l'expérience client, j'ai invité dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast

This is the final week for our series on Computer Science in Middle School. In the previous weeks we heard from principals and teachers, this week we will hear from their students. I met with students from Zanetti, Kiley Prep and STEM Academy. Listen to these students' experiences as they discuss their favorite parts of computer science in their classrooms. These students are just a small representative of the students who are loving Computer Science in their schools. If you are a potential future middle school educator or have students that will be entering Middle School, this is a great episode for you. A little background on our DL Now program. Computer Science has changed the way we think, the way we communicate, the way we work, and the way we live. Computer Science (or CS as it is affectionately known as) is more than just coding and using a computer to complete a given task. It involves critical thinking, collaboration, and the ability to creatively solve problems. And there are many ways to engage in computer science without even using a computer. For example, students can write instructions for making a peanut butter sandwich, then work with another student to complete the task by following the instructions exactly as written. Students will soon realize the importance of being precise in their step-by-step instructions and no doubt, will see where some key steps were missed. A fun activity! Here in Springfield, we believe every student should have opportunities and access to a high-quality computer science education. Students need to think of the world from different perspectives and to value each other as they work together to solve problems and become critical thinkers. We believe that students can be more than consumers. They can be active creators and problem-solvers, tackling some of the biggest challenges affecting our world today. Indeed, computer science is the foundational skill necessary for all students to succeed in reaching their personal and professional goals as active contributors in our world.

Common Sense Institute's recent report, “The Colorado Crime Wave: An Economic Analysis of Crime and the Need for Data Driven Solutions” was a first-of-its-kind report that put a cost on crime within the state of Colorado. Shockingly, that cost burden, borne by both victims and society, was more than $27B in 2020. Underlying this enormous cost, are concerning trends both in the rate of crime, and the outcomes of our criminal justice system, across our courts and corrections system. On this episode of Common Sense Digest, Host and Chairman Earl Wright is joined by CSI Criminal Justice Fellows and report co-authors, Mitch Morrisey and George Brauchler to discuss what policy decisions led to Colorado leading the nation in many forms of crime, dig into the details of how crime in Colorado actually functions, and offer recommendations for turning the tide.

McLendon joins hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick for the Around Atlanta segment. In 1987, McLendon served as a radar approach controller with the Federal Aviation Administration. After working in the Chamber of Commerce Industry for nine years, McLendon fell in love with community development and assumed leadership of the Museum of Aviation Foundation two years ago. The museum is attached to the field museum program of the United States Air Force Heritage program. Located south of the main entrance to the Robins Air Force Base, the 50-acre campus is the second-largest air force museum in the United States. Pre-pandemic, the museum was the fourth most visited military museum in the country and in 2019, saw over 600,000 visitors. Free for visitors to explore, the museum features four main hangars across indoor and outdoor exhibits that tell the story and heritage of the United States Air Force. Upon entering the property, an impressive B-1 bomber greets guests as well as the Eagle Building, which houses an F-15 that museumgoers can explore up close! A favorite among young visitors, the Eagle Building also houses an exhibit dedicated to General Robert Scott, a local war hero from Macon, and his legendary P-40 plane. McLendon shared, “Everyone loves seeing that plane and what it means!” The POW-MIA Monument Memorial, housed in the Nugteren Hangar, honors those lost in service of our country while vividly exploring the Vietnam War, a traumatic and sensitive time in United States history. The Century of Flight Hangar is one of the biggest draws of the museum which showcases the SR-71, a plane that holds the world speed record as well as the Global Hall exhibit which tells the story of unmanned aviation and surveillance. On the second floor of the hangar, visitors have access to the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame, an exhibit honoring Georgia's leaders and their effect on the world of aviation. “It's extremely interesting to see all of the honorees that have been inducted to the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame,” said McLendon. “I always encourage people to visit that portion to see these leaders in our state.” The Scott Hangar, in honor of General Scott, showcases a walk-through exhibit honoring the story of World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen, the 507th Airborne and the most impressive addition, a B-17 currently in the process of restoration. Along with exhibits that explore the history of aviation, the museum offers educational programs for young visitors to enjoy. The museum's education platform, the STEM Academy, encourages young minds across the country to explore futures in STEM careers. The academy offers virtual tours, programs as well as summer camps for students of all ages.

Podcast Co-host: Kevin Davis: kevinkaera@comcast.netPodcast guests: Lance and Penny Davis: lancedavis@livingscience.com Transcription:Kris Parsons00:02Welcome to changing the rules, a weekly podcast about people who are living their best life and how you can figure out how to do it too. Join us with your lively host Ray Loewe, better known as the luckiest guy in the world.Ray Loewe00:16Good morning, everybody. This is the lively host from we're sitting in the podcast studios and in wildfire podcasting, and Woodbury, New Jersey, our engineer here, Taylor is here to make sure that everything runs smoothly. And we can focus on just talking to our guests. And we have wonderful guests today. So Kevin, say hi to everybody. Kevin is our co-host for this month.Kevin Davis00:44Hi, everybody, Ray, thanks so much. It's a privilege and honor to be back here. You bought me back again, we're on a roll here?Ray Loewe00:52Well, because we're doing fun stuff, and Kevin and I did a great podcast a couple of weeks ago. And it focused on five things that are kind of the theme for this month. And let me bring, let me kind of recap those four. So the luckiest people in the world that have to know what they want. Now, our definition, the luckiest people in the world are those people who actually take the time to personally redesign their own lives, and live them under their own terms. And if you don't know what you want, how are you ever going to design your own life. So we found that there are five key characteristics of why some people, the lucky ones, are able to design their own life, and then redesign it when things change. And we certainly get a lot of that today. And they're able to pivot and they're able to stay on type of life. And they're able to enjoy it and get the most out of it. So the five things are the luckiest people are purpose-driven. They know why they're here. And they remind themselves why it's so important to go back to purpose. They're mission-driven. They're, interested in other people, they want to help other people and their best when they help other people. Whenever they get into trouble, they go back to their values, they have a list of values and might be family, it might be faith, it might be a whole lot of other things. But their values are important. And they base their decisions on what they want on their values. They throw in excellence, okay. And you know, we're all good at some things. And life is more fun when you're working on things that you're good at. And it gives you the best chance of being able to do things for other people. And last but not least, they come back to the fact that at the end of everything when they put all these things together, they want to like their day. So, Kevin, we beat those up a while ago. And we're going to talk more over here. So why don't you introduce Lance and Penny, and give us a little background and start us off on this wonderful world of exploring life?Kevin Davis03:13Sure, well, so it is. It's an honor and I say this with a bit of trepidation to have Lance and Penny Davis, my parents here, you know, Ray, you know, I love a good story. And I have a bunch of them. We're gonna have to be careful today with the funny stories because, for everyone I have, they probably have two or three about me. So but I'm gonna have to call you mom and dad. But so mom, dad, thanks so much for joining us today. Super excited to have you on the podcast here. That's okay. Okay, thank you.Ray Loewe03:48We don't want you to do that of all things. Don't mind your manners and misbehaving is part of the game. So let me start out with something you guys a big part of your life was you're both missionaries in Africa. Why don't you give us kind of the short version of what happened there, because that certainly created a foundation for where you're going.Lance Davis04:12Yeah, we were both teachers early on in life. And then we went to the States, and we went to a college, up in your neck of the woods. And then we went back to Africa as missionaries, and we were already there for about four years. And during that time, Kevin was about seven years old. So he went back with us and his early life was riding on a motorcycle behind me sitting on the backseat, and riding around the neighborhood, getting kids together and having them to our house so that we could have Bible storytimes and things like that, and then starting a church and he'd Sing with us. So it was an amazing time. We actually left Zimbabwe or it used to be Rhodesia came back to the states and went back to college. And that's where the rest of our life sort of sprang up in the northern part of the United States, but then in about 93, we didn't like the cold so much. Tell me why you think that is. We came down south to Atlanta, Georgia, and we've been here since 1993. And are absolutely loving it. Ray Loewe05:26And go ahead, Penny.Penny Davis05:29I was just gonna say I'm not I don't think we're doing a whole lot very differently. Because I think it's all wrapped up in what you said, we're living in our sweet spot. And so we just take our sweet spot everywhere we go.Ray Loewe05:39Okay, so you guys actually formed a school?Kevin Davis05:44We did. Yes, that's correct. Ray doesn't everybody?Ray Loewe05:51Well, you know, some of us don't think that far ahead. But give us an idea of what the school is and what it's about because I think this is going to drive the rest of our conversation.Kevin Davis06:03Well, let me add a little context before you answer that because I'd love this as part of the answer. You didn't just form a school, you waited until you were at a stage of life where your kids were grown and off and married, where, you know, Ray and I met in the financial industry. And so a lot of what we did professionally was helping people prepare for this thing called retirement. And under a normal plan, you would have been 10 years away from that. And so rather than coasting into the retirement years, 25 years ago, you guys decided to start a school. So there's some context to explain it.Penny Davis06:43Yes, of course. So I mean, really, the whole essence of what we need to be doing is building into other people's lives. And we'd like kids and kids are more palatable and more pliable. So that was the best thing to do. And that's our training. So I love your five points because we definitely are purpose-driven. But our purpose is based on our mission. And you know what, that's what we're doing every day of our lives. And so we come home exhausted loving it, and we go back the next day. And what's that word? retirement? I don't compute.Ray Loewe07:18Thank you for that. So if you don't mind, can you share with everybody your approximate ages at this point?Lance Davis07:26Oh, yes everybody knows. I'm 29. Again, every single year reminds the kids that and it's a test question at the end of the year. How old is they don't call her Penny? They call her Mrs. D. How old is Mrs. D? And if you get 29, you get extra credit.Penny Davis07:44So, therefore, as a school teacher, my answer to your question is that if you go back to the age that most people are retiring at 65? Or will we breezed past that by 10 years? So you can work that one out?Ray Loewe07:57That's higher math. Okay, so I need to go to so I can learn that, he can do that. And I think this is one of the purpose of things is, is you guys have just kind of taken this thing called retirement. pushed it out of the way. And you're living life under your terms.Lance Davis08:19Yes, yeah, it almost seems re it almost seems like we are loving it more now doing what we do now than in the past. And I don't know how that computes. The sweet spot really is something that we look forward to every day. And sometimes an average year, we'll experience that sweet spot a couple of times, hugely, like when we come back from an expedition to the Golden Isles of Georgia, with 100 kids or something like that. And we have seen what changes have been made in their lives. And a parent calls us up and said, What do you do to my kid? And we say, Well, what do you mean? And they say, Well, he's come back changed. He helps me in the house. He takes out the garbage. He's civil to me, doesn't bad mouth, his siblings and we say Good, good. That's the sweet spot, hearing all that stuff. Cool.Kevin Davis09:19You know, Ray. I want to connect the dots here for some of our listeners who might have been listening last week when we talk with Joe Colavito. You know, he gave an interesting definition for purpose. And I don't know if I got it exactly verbatim, but he said an individual's unique design for how you can help improve the status of others. And you know, we talked about how it was others-focused. And we're hearing that same theme here today, which I think is pretty interesting. Could you guys share a bit about you have this program that you've developed a Living Science to Stem Academy? You call it a servant leader program? Talk a bit about that, because I think that ties in so much to this idea of building into the next generation helping others, being others-focused.Penny Davis10:15Okay, so I think the first thing I want to say is that you do gain wisdom as you get a little older each year. I mean, we've made lots of mistakes. But what are you going to do with that wisdom bury it? No, you have to take that wisdom. And it's got to be pulled down to the lowest common denominator. So wisdom continues so sweetheart how do we do that? What are we doing?Lance Davis10:35Well, one of the things that Mrs. D has always had in the classroom, is her philosophy of education is this, it should be preparation for life. And so our kids are servant leaders. For instance, in the high school, ninth through 12th graders, they are taught the tips, T I P S, which stands for target, which is your vision, influence, you influence others and others influence you and passion, always find your passion and go with it. And then the last one is servant leadership. And those are the hallmarks of our servant leaders. And the last one is we teach them how to be leaders, by helping them to serve others.Penny Davis11:18Then, of course, they make mistakes. And so that's a wonderful teaching model right there. I think the big thing here is that we do this with encouragement, not negative and put-downs, we are teaching them how to build others up and we're trying to build them up, we actually have a rule, no put-downs. And we also have another saying which you'll love Ray, there will be change. And I just they've learned to hold their hands off and say they will be changed. Because in any given day, especially when we're on mission on the Golden Isles on the beaches with 100 to 150 kids. I mean, doesn't everybody do that when they're supposed to be retiring it's such fun? The river changes, the tide changes, and they have to know how to react on the dime and turn around now they're not perfect. We're not perfect, but boy, they're amazing, and how much they are learning?Lance Davis12:10Yes, but here's the thing, if you start doing that with a ninth-grader, and he experiences the wisdom of changing and maybe how difficult it is to change or how hard it is, then he does that again in the 10th grade. And then in the 11th. By the time he gets to the 12th grade, he's learned that aspect of life, right, and he's preparing himself for the future, there will be change. And another saying that we've always used is there's no growth in a comfort zone and no comfort in a growth zone. That's one of the things we teach them. It's purposeful teaching.Penny Davis12:49And we use it, we use something else as we really working with them. And this is for the parents as well. Well, it starts with us, we use a term form and function. See, what you were saying is, you have to make changes. And yes, that's your form, the form of education since we first started all those bunkies years ago has changed. But the function, our goals, you know, what do we want coming up the other end, that hasn't changed? It's just the road to get there. That's changed. So if kids can learn this, they're going to be successful.Kevin Davis13:22Yeah, okay, so let's have a fun story to give an example of what some of that could look like. Because most of the people listening, have no idea what an expedition is. And I'll frame it, it's this crazy, thought that you put 100 plus kids into a whole convoy of cars, you drive five or six hours, down to the Golden Isles, you know, on Georgia. And then you spend the next five days teaching kids out on the beaches and in the marshes. But the weather doesn't always cooperate. And then I remember there was one year where we had tsunami-like weather flooding. And you had to have these kids change the entire agenda on the fly because you couldn't go outside. I mean, it was torrential that year.Penny Davis14:14Actually was like Noah's flood that that year was really bad. There was a second one. Yeah.Kevin Davis14:20And the ark wasn't quite finished. I remember.Penny Davis14:25So actually, that's amazing that you say that because we have the forethought to say what if the weather isn't cooperating. And we've been watching the progress of the weather report, and we just said, well, just in case. So we have teams, and there were eight teams that year. So instead of just having eight rotations, we actually created boxes the day before we left because my science team is well trained. I said here, here's what we're going to be doing run for the equipment, get the boxes, and we packed up eight additional boxes. And the place where we stay was kind enough to give us a second hall and we just simply arranged the kids inside doing the most fun things. We've got videos of amazing things happening. If they'd known what we were doing in their halls, they might have charged us double that year, but they never did find out. So we have lots of fun. Lance Davis15:14But that's what we lead them to we let the kids know there will be change. And you've got to be proactive. And you've got to say, What if? What's your plan B. And now the kids all know, what are we going to take for Plan B? So we look at it very carefully a couple of days before we go. And we say now it's not needed. We don't need that much. We'll only take a few things. But now they have a principle. Well, ifPenny Davis15:41we travel in cars, sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, Kevin. We have such funny stories about the cars, they're all numbered, and everybody's in small convoys so that it's a safety issue? And this one year we just lost a whole convoy of I think was four or five cars. And we're like, oh, my goodness, we're not allowed to lose kids. I mean, the parents is fun, and we lose. We can't lose the kids. And finally, we got and this was before everybody had their cell phones. And we were using actually CB radios, CB radios. We finally got this one lady who was kind of meeting this up. She says, No, no, really. I'm in the convoy. I'm following Mr. Parker. Silence, honey, Mr. Parker is not on this trip. We don't know who you are following, but you got all our kids stop and turn around.Ray Loewe16:34Go ahead, Kevin. Where'sKevin Davis16:36So I was gonna say it's interesting, Ray? You know, you see the thread of all these different conversations we're having. One of the things that you and I have talked about is how, you know, you have a plan, but then life throws you a curveball. You know, my famous quote about Mike Tyson's comment, everyone has a plan to get punched in the mouth. And what we've observed, as you know, the luckiest people in the world have learned how to pivot. It's not that they've got this airtight plan. It's that they know how to pivot when things get kind of crazy. And I love that. You know, this servant leadership program is trying to teach kids that skill. You know, we're here trying to encourage adults to exercise that skill. Right, Ray.Ray Loewe17:12Well, yeah, but you know, why not drop it down to kids? I mean, why shouldn't somebody in their 30s and their 20s enjoy life more? Why shouldn't they find their purpose and know their mission and life in and figure out where they're going? And then take that all through life? Too many of us don't find it until we get old.Penny Davis17:51Yeah, yeah, that's sad. That's sad. Now, you know, COVID hit us pretty hard. And so last year, we weren't able to have an expedition because we were all sort of locked down as a school, we were allowed to have a certain number of people. And so we just said, well, we're not canceling this. The kids have looked forward to this the whole year, we said, we will have a virtual expedition. And we were called mad, but that's okay. Because we know we are. It was so much fun our servant leaders, we trained them to put together bags of equipment, so that we could be online, showing these kids and having fun with these kids online. And they could be at home actually doing little labs and having fun. And we said, All right, how are we going to get these there. So we got convoys of kids driving out to all over creation because people come from far away. And we hand-delivered sacks of lots of fun things, t-shirts, and all the equipment. And we actually had an amazing experience during a virtual expedition.Lance Davis18:48Yeah, at that time, there were six teams, and we have six separate rooms, and they were all on zoom. And the seven leaders were in groups of two to four, and our science team, kids who are normally the 10th graders, they were running from room to room with different sets of equipment, because our seven leaders were actually doing the experiments in front of the kids and watching the kids do the experiments at home. It was just an amazing time.Ray Loewe19:17And that comes from the fact that you have a well-defined purpose and a well-defined mission and you know what you want to accomplish? So you're gonna get there somehow, someway even though the world is not necessarily going to let them take the path easy. How many kids do you have in your school?Lance Davis19:38Oh, 150 Plus, it goes between 150 and 200. And that's kindergarten through 12th grade. Ray Loewe19:44And the whole purpose of this is to build this kind of sense of leadership into kids and experience so that there'll be better people and they know where they're going.Lance Davis19:55Yeah, Ray part of our mission statement is we want our kids to become leaders so that they can drive truth and godly values into society. That's actually the last part of our purpose statement. So we keep that in mind all the time. And the how question comes at, well, how are we going to do that now? And last year? So how are we going to do that in this particular situation? Well, we came up with some ideas.Penny Davis20:22And I think to add to that, being an educator and having been one for more years, and most people, most of our parents are old. And that's a fact. You know, what, you can't just throw information at kids and expect them to be excited about doing something with that information. So we are very, very big on doing hands-on things, and getting the kids excited to want to learn if they don't want to learn, there's no purpose and trying to show them the excitement that's outside of the school. One has to get them saying I want this they have to be hungry. You know, there's a saying that you can take a horse to water and you can't make a drink. That's not true. Feed it salt, it'll want to drink.Ray Loewe21:06That's mean and nasty, but it works, doesn't it? The, you know, take a minute and talk a little bit about the sweet spot that came up several times. And the sweet spot is what you guys are living. I think I know, I'm sure everybody else is living it too. But you keep talking about you find the sweet spot in life. What do you mean? How does it drive you? I don't even know how to ask the question any better than that?Lance Davis21:37Well, the sweet spot I've described is at the end of an expedition, I'm exhausted. And I relax. And I say wow, that, to me is the best expression in the world. Wow. And we try to put the wow into learning. But when it happens to you, it's even better. And so when I see results, that helps me, my sweet. I'm doing what I love to do now, even though I get seems like every year I get a little bit more tired. But that doesn't matter. That's him, that's not Mrs. D.Penny Davis22:09So I think you know, when you talk about sweet spot, to me, it is getting to the end of the day and saying, I am so thrilled with what I've been able to impart unto others but much more than that. I'm so thrilled at what I see them giving back. Because we're not meant to live forever. And so we need to make sure that we can share our values and share how to have a mission and how to be purpose-driven so that these kids grow up into adults that want to give back. That's so satisfying. That's a sweet spot for us. Lance Davis22:41Yeah, Ray. Here's another thing, often parents look at us and they say, Wow, once again, they say this is the best environment for our kids because they see you two. And I'm thinking, how does that compute? Well, you two are still together, you two to fight together, you are doing everything together, you're going on trips, and you're upholding each other, you're giving the kids a visual picture of what their lives could be. And we hold hands all the time to by the way. Oh, yeah. And once in a while, we will kiss, you know that peck on the cheek, and the kids love it. And we will say we have a license you don't. Yeah. Cool. Ray Loewe23:23So can I say, Wow, as a result of this podcast, because I got so psyched up listening to you. And you know, first of all, you're not letting age get in the way at all. You're focusing on life, not about age, and you're making a difference, and you've got a purpose. And that purpose gets thrown roadblocks, and you seem to get around them pretty well. What a great lesson in life. Kevin Davis23:48You know, Ray, when they talk about they get a little tired, and they imply they might slow down, I got to give context. People in their 40s can't keep up with them. So when they say, they, get a little tired, I laugh because I'm looking at you know, all of the people laying on the ground with their tongues hanging out. But I think that goes to, you know, passion. And purpose matters infinitely more than age. When you're in your sweet spot. When you're purpose-driven. You're doing something that gives you energy. Others will look around and go How do you keep going? And what do you mean, how do you not? And all of a sudden age is immaterial. It's more about, you know, doing what you love. And I want to touch on one last thing because we're running out of time, Ray? This the fifth thing that you had mentioned at the very beginning that we've observed, the luckiest people in the world tend to have they like their day. Yes. Does like your day mean everything's great and easy or is there a different definition of what that might mean? Penny Davis25:00Are you asking us? I think liking your day means that you fulfilled a purpose. And you've taken action in the hard things, and you survived all the attacks.Lance Davis25:12Yeah, maybe that's easy. Just that's the best way of putting it. We survived. Yeah.Ray Loewe25:19Yeah, but at the end of the day, you have joy. And I think Kevin's right. I mean, life is not simple. Life isn't smooth. Everything doesn't work right every day. But at the end, if you can sit back and say, Wow, yeah, I'm that word is now part of my library. Okay. Cuz I there's no better way to say it. It's just Wow. Okay. Yeah, we give you permission, you can use it. Well, thank you much. And we have time. Do you have any quick last comments that you want to make before we break off here?Penny Davis25:58Just very, very quickly, I think that what I want, I want to say and I hope that people really hear this is such a funny little quip. When you aim at nothing, you hit it every time.Lance Davis26:11Yeah. See, that's the first. The target is what we teach kids, we teach them. Here's your target for this year. Oh, sorry, wrong statement, what is your target for this year? And so we don't give them a target. We force them to make a little target, whatever it is, because if they don't buy into it, then they're not going to shoot for it. If it's my target, they'll just say, No, I don't think passive it's got to be their target. And then we teach them how to go with passion. And often it's because their friends lift them up and their friends encourage them.Ray Loewe26:51Well, incredible. So you know, thank you so much for being with us. And we'll have to do this again because I think there's so much wisdom and enthusiasm in here. So we'll give you a little time to prepare for the next one. How's that? And then we'll do another Wow. Wow. We'll be around. Thank you, Ray. Well, thanks for being with us. And stay tuned, because next week, Kevin, and I will be back. And we'll be interviewing a young man by the name of Steve Franklin, who's interviewed a whole lot of people over the age of 100. And I think what you can see from our meeting with Lance and Penny today is to quit focusing on age and focus on living. And you just get all those extra years of all that extra excitement, and Lance and Penny. Thanks again, and I'm going to finish off with one word. Wow.Kris Parsons27:49Thank you for listening to changing the rules, a weekly podcast about people who are living their best life and how you can figure out how to do that too. Join us with your lively host of Ray Loewe, better known as the luckiest guy in the world.

In this episode of Stirring the Pot we invite University of Auckland Engineering & Law Student John Cole from Episode 41, back into the studio. This time exploring the intersection between Mātauranga Māori and Construction 4.0 - a research project that John is working on for us - in partnership with Pūhoro STEM Academy. As far as we are aware, this is the first time the interface between Mātauranga Māori and Construction 4.0 has been investigated. This will lead to some valuable insights and recommendations for future work. We are also really hoping that this will lead to a bilingual publication of the research results and break ground for more meaningful engagement with Māori in Engineering.

Welcome to Changing the Rules. I'm KC Dempster, and I'm here with my co host Ray Loewe. And we're at the wonderful Wildfire Podcast studios in beautiful downtown Woodbury, New Jersey.Ray Loewe 0:29 You got that all in? That's pretty good.KC Dempster 0:31 Yes, I did. And we've got a great show for you. Today, we're going to be talking with an old friend and I'm not talking age old. I'm talking known for many years, and I'm really looking forward to it. And we're going to talk about the luckiest people in the world and taking control of your life and and living the life you want to live.Ray Loewe 0:50 And we're gonna throw in some changing the rules in there, too. And before we get into this, I have an announcement. Oh, it's national popcorn day today. Now, this is important. This is a chance to support your local community because as movie theaters have not been pushing popcorn lately,KC Dempster 1:11 are they even open?Ray Loewe 1:13 Well, who knows? But, but have some buttered popcorn later today and celebrate? Okay. Okay, so, Kevin Davis? Yes. Okay, now I have I have three things to say about Kevin. Okay. Okay. Coach to Wealth Advisors. And he certainly was one of those to me when we were in that business. Barbecue pitmaster.KC Dempster 1:37 intriguing,Ray Loewe 1:38 extraordinary. And last but not least creative genius.KC Dempster 1:43 That is definitely not least Oh,Ray Loewe 1:45 yeah. So Kevin, Kevin, quit blushing. We can we can see it online over here. But But I have to tell a quick story before we let Kevin in here. And that is years ago, Kevin was on an advisory board to me. And he was he was a key part. And we were sitting around in our conference room one day, and we were talking about what was going to happen as I divested myself of my financial planning practice. And we were talking about all the great things that I can do. And these guys were really got me going and, and Kevin finally perked up over on the other side of the room. And he said, Well, you know, if you can do all that, you're going to be the most interesting man in the world.KC Dempster 2:31 I think he said, the luckiest guy in the worldRay Loewe 2:34 No he said interesting. And then he said, we can't use that. That's, that's a beer commercial. So he came out. So he came up with the luckiest guy in the world. And Kevin, it is stuck ever since. And thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I think I was lucky before you said it. But I feel even luckier now. So welcome, welcome to Changing the Rules.Kevin Davis 2:58 And thank you. Great to be here.Ray Loewe 3:00 And and I know you're down there and hopefully Sunny, warmer Atlanta than it is up here up north. Okay, and I'm anxious to talk to you because you recently put some stuff out on LinkedIn that I think is absolutely phenomenal. And and we want to milk that for the show today. Because you've always been a great coach to financial advisors. But I think you're a great coach to people too. So let's start out with some of the things that you did in your little video releases. And let's talk first about improvise, adapt and overcome.Kevin Davis 3:39 Oh, super well, thanks. And it's it's so much fun to talk with you. I had forgotten about that day sitting around the table in the conference room. What a fun day that was. So yeah, you know, this improvise, adapt, overcome, you'll find I am. What I'm really good at is I'm a librarian. I don't know that I have a lot of brilliant original thoughts. But I'm really good at cataloging things that other people say or that I, I hear about and maybe figuring out where they can apply in other parts of life. So here's a a fun piece of useless historical knowledge. I grew up in the Capital District region outside of Albany, New York. And when I was growing up, there was this guy who started showing up on the evening news, who was this rising boxer and the guy was he was ferocious. They would actually show his entire fights on the evening of the local evening news because they would take less than a minute. And it was Mike Tyson. Oh, we all we all know Mike Tyson now but I remember when he was this 19 year old beast in this, you know grainy footage that someone would would shoot there and these poor people who were I suppose Really good amateur boxers, he'd dispatch them in sometimes seem like you're five or six swings and they were down. Yeah. As he came into prominence and you know, became the the individual he was somewhere along the line, he had this great Mike Tyson line and it was just so much him, because I don't think it was ever intended to be this brilliant wisdom was just him talking smack. And what he said in an interview one day was, "Hey, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."KC Dempster 5:33 Wow. I you know, I've heard that before. And I absolutely love it because it is 100% true.Kevin Davis 5:40 Yeah. And and, you know, I just laugh now because it was born out of just cocky self assuredness about how true that was in the boxing ring. Yeah, no matter how much these guys were preparing, he'd walk out there, and he just punched him in the mouth. How's that working for you, buddy? Yeah. But, you know, I got thinking about all of this recently, because that's what that's kind of what COVID did to all of us. It really didn't matter what your plan was business or personal or family. We all got punched in the mouth last year. And you know, what do you do with that. And so then I got thinking about a another classic from the 80s. I'm clearly a child of the 80s. Heartbreak Ridge, the old Clint Eastwood movie. And you know, so many memorable lines in there, it never got the play that maybe some of his other movies did. But there's a point in there. And it was just one of those throwaway lines almost, that just stuck with me, where I don't know the platoons complaining. And he just kind of looks at them and says, "We're Marines. we improvise, we adapt, we overcome." And off he went. And I thought, what wisdom in that simple little line, because that's really where I think we've all been, is we had to improvise. And we did. And then we had to shift to adapting. And I think a lot of people did, but it's that last step that I think's interesting is, you know, the shift from adapting to overcoming, which is acknowledging that it's changed. You've got to change as well, if you want to move on, you can't just sort of live in that spot. And I guess I view adapting, it's like, treading water in a river. It it doesn't work, you're going off or you're going down the river, you're not staying static. And so that's just kind of where I think we've all been as how many of us have found a way to say, we've got to get back to living and running businesses and running lives and having families. How do you do that? What's that look like? So that was kind of the impetus of all of that.Ray Loewe 8:02 Well, you know, I think there are a couple things are really important that just came out of this. We need to have plans. But I think you quoted on your The last time I saw a quote from one of our presidents. Yeah. Why don't you get that in here right now? It's perfect.Kevin Davis 8:23 Sure. So it was Dwight D. Eisenhower, and I had a little fun with it. I said, he tweeted that, and I was thrilled, because actually a few people said Twitter wasn't around back then. I was glad they were paying attentionKC Dempster 8:36 I thought the same thing, but I didn't have anybody to say it to.Kevin Davis 8:42 So what he said, and this is fascinating, because there's a speech he gave, I think it was 1967 to a whole group of learned individuals around the military preparedness of the country. And he said plans are they're worthless, but planning is everything. And I read that and I actually read the whole speech because I wanted the context, I went back and found it. And what was really intriguing is, you know, he made the point is that, you know, we have these plans. And the problem with having plans for emergencies is precisely that you don't know what the emergency is until it shows up.KC Dempster 9:22 Right? You're until you get punched in the face.Kevin Davis 9:25 Yeah. And so I'm like, wow, maybe mike tyson had been studying. Maybe not, maybe not. But he's, I thought about that a lot. Because he said, you know, planning is what's critical because it builds this, this muscle this ability to stop and quickly think about what's going on around you and assess and make some decisions and then decide how you're going to go forward. And, you know, Ray, obviously, we you know, that we've had lots of conversations about planning. You know, whether it's A lot of times it used to be planning financially having a financial plan in place. And what's the purpose of that to let you kind of live life the way you like to enjoy it, but that presupposes you have a plan of what that look like. And so this whole idea of planning, I think, is really key. because it uses muscles and builds that strength so that when you really need it, you can do it. Well not just sort of sit there. But But here, here's the fun part. And you've got plenty of experience with this. In your experience, Ray, how often do you see people actually take the time to sit down and very thoughtfully, plan? What have you seen over the years?Ray Loewe 10:46 Well we did a conference not too long ago as a virtual conference, because we weren't compliance. Okay. And we, we did a little planning questionnaire. And it amazed me out of the group, almost nobody planned quarterly. A couple people said, Well, I kind of look at things once a year. And a large percentage of them said never.Kevin Davis 11:14 Yeah. That's, think about that. You know, that that's the equivalent of, and you'll laugh because this is your background. I know, you've been swimming for years. And, you know, my, one of my daughters is a competitive swimmer in college. And so I've been in the pool over the years a little bit. That's the equivalent of saying, I'm going to go swim a mile in the pool today. Excellent. How much have you been swimming lately? Oh, boy, I was in the pool six months ago and I did five laps...I hope lifeguards are strong and notfeeling sick today, you know?Ray Loewe 11:52 Yeah, you know, and, and part of the problem here is if you don't take the time to think about where you're going, the odds are, you're not going to get there. And and even if you start moving forward, you know, you're not prepared for these contingencies, like COVID. And, you know, we all found our plans were just kind of beat up. But those people have planned to have a real edge, I think and go from there.Kevin Davis 12:18 Yeah,Ray Loewe 12:18 you know, there's a couple other things that you talked about recently. You, you talked a little bit about the S curve.Kevin Davis 12:27 Yeah.Ray Loewe 12:28 So fill us in on thatKevin Davis 12:29 . So that we call it the business S curve, because that's the context it's usually talked about. But when you really look at it, it applies to everything in life. So if you think of these sort of three stages, you know, in the life of a business, or relationship, or what have you that that first stage, the formative stage, you're looking for a pattern of success. You know, it's interesting, it's exciting, if it's in business, nobody's making any money. But if it works, you kind of shift into the next stage, the normative stage. And this again, in the business context is where things are going smoothly, they're growing, you know, you scale and staff up, if it's in a relationship you've got out of that early stage of is this going to survive, and now you're in hey thi, this is great. But invariably, there's a spot where you hit a wall, and things start to change. Most people miss that. And and they keep doing what they've always done. And you know, what that will lead to is just in time, you just kind of you miss it. And you know, as I like to say you ride that wave right down into the ground. On the other side, again, what great leaders do and what thoughtful people do is they identify something changed here, we've got to retool, we've got to really rethink how we do things. Look for the the best of what was working and and figure out what do we keep? What do we add things like that? When done, right, that sort of launches you to the next level. Now, that's all in a business context. But you know, we've got to think of it in a life context as well, because here's what I find is interesting. Normally, that's an organic process. Every company goes through it in their own timeframe, every relationship goes through it in their own timeframe. But something crazy, I'd say unprecedented, even though that words been overused happened last year with with COVID. And the way we literally shut the world down. Every company and every person out there got thrown into this, this bubble of chaos. That's what's around the wall. Same time. Yeah. And I've never seen that happen before. And now here's, I guess the beauty of understanding that the hardest part of that process where you kind of retool is having to admit and determine that Oh, something really radical changed. We got to do something different. Right. And there's, there's usually a lot of all now not us, right? Well, guess what? Yeah, all of us. You can't deny it. None of us canKC Dempster 13:33 Right. We'll look at how many of us thought that the shutdown was only going to last two weeks.Kevin Davis 15:08 just unbelievable. So the good news is we're all there. So that allows us, I think, some great freedom to say Oh, given that, then what? How do we go forward and start to retool? Now, I'll throw this out. And we had talked a bit about this Ray, one of the things that concerns me is not only do I not see enough people planning because I think there's sort of living in this perpetual holding pattern bubble, a things bubble. Yeah, they're just kind of enjoying being in the bubble of chaos. I see a whole lot of people living in fear. Yeah. And and that just worries me long term because nothing, nothing productive. nothing good ever comes out of living in fear. And I'll give you a wonderful story. And I don't know if I ever even shared this one with you. You know, my grandma was an amazing woman. She She left us about a little over 10 years ago. She grew up in Rhodesia, which doesn't exist right now. Zimbabwe. She she was in World War Two in North Africa. As a nurse, she then was married living on a farm out in the wilderness of Rhodesia, or you know, literally Gran's packing heat, because there's lions and leopards and legitimate animals that will kill you.KC Dempster 16:31 She sounds like an amazing woman.Kevin Davis 16:33 And Ray, you know, because I know you've been there, I have a picture of a leopard that you took of the house here. You know, she she lives through a communist revolution that led to a 40 year dictatorship under Robert Mugabe, she moved to two other countries. So she lives in three countries in her life. We're visiting her in New Zealand and there are these geothermal pools by this lake. And we're all going to go sit in these hot tubs that they have all naturally heated. And in the first trip My dad is like, No, you can't Mom, it's it's too dangerous because your heart because the water is hot. Right? I could tell you she was ticked. So we're going back a couple years later, and I just kind of, you know, being the son who likes to poke the bear, a bit I'm like, Dad, what are you gonna do this time? When grant says she wants to go cuz you know, she's gonna say, well, we, my mom calls our family doctor. Doctor, down here in Georgia lays the whole thing out, right? Because she figures she's going to shut her son up by having the doctor backing them up. Right? And here's what the doctor says. And he knew Gran he had met her before knew the whole history. He goes, wait a minute, wait a minute. She's 89. She's survived wars, multiple countries, all this stuff. And you think her going in some hot water is bad idea. Let her make the decision when the worst thing that could happen. And my dad's like, well, she could have a heart attack and die. And he goes, Yeah, doing something on her bucket list that she's been thinking about for years. With the people she loves the most. What's wrong with that?KC Dempster 18:12 Right and who hasn't taken a hot bath?Kevin Davis 18:16 What I thought to myself, wow, this woman was fearless in the face of all kinds of legitimate danger.KC Dempster 18:24 Right, right.Ray Loewe 18:25 Hey I'm used to this. I'm in hot water all the time. All right, we need to move on a little bit, because our time is getting short. And you have we have pearls of wisdom here. So talk to us a little bit about toddlers learning to walk.Kevin Davis 18:43 So this is one of those crazy things that struck me as I was looking at some pictures of my kids. And I guess that meant I was getting old and feeling nostalgic, you know, back when they were young. And it's amazing, because you watch a kid learning to walk and what do they do? They they try to stand up, they pull themselves up, they're super shaky, they fall down, you know, they fall forwards, backwards, they bump all kinds of things. We never yell at them and tell them they're stupid and they failed. We always encourage them and say you're doing great. And what do they do? Well, they learn something from what just happened. They kind of figure out a different way to stand up. They wobble and shake, they adjust their balance a little bit. And they take a step. Now usually they fall over but they get up and they do it over and over and over again. And it occurred to me what changed because what that would be if you took away the fact that was a toddler learning to walk and you said it was a person trying to figure out how to do something. Most of the time we would say boy, they stink at that. They can't stand up they fall over off you're train wreck. But we don't write because what they do is they are I used to say failing fast and I've changed it because I thought that puts too many people in the wrong mind. set their learning at an amazing speed. They're improvise adapt overcome savants, right? Yep. They just they're processing, learning, adjusting tweaking, about the only adult I can think of that I would say was a genius at being a toddler in real life was Thomas Edison. You know, because he didn't think of doing it the wrong way as failing. He just wrote that down as, okay. A plus B doesn't equal C, let's see which one does, right. And kept moving. And so I feel like we're sort of in that mode right now of the faster we can do things learn from them. not worry about, Oh, I didn't get the outcome I expected. What was what was good in there? What maybe wasn't what you're looking for. Okay. Well adapt.KC Dempster 20:49 Exactly differently.Kevin Davis 20:53 You know, so that that's, that's something I've been talking to my my kids about, and just a lot of people in business about as well right now.Ray Loewe 20:59 Yeah. And and you had, you know, again, it's, it's part of a process and, and a couple of things that you mentioned in your process, as you look at what's different, what's right, and what's missing. So take a moment and comment on that before we get into the final crescendo here.Kevin Davis 21:17 Sure. So those were three questions. a dear friend of mine, Joe Colavito, shared with me years ago, and they always struck me as being great questions. And you know, Ray, we I know you and I have talked over the years about what a gift a good question can be. Because it can really give us some clarity if we ask it and think about it. And so you know, you start with the What's different? Well, here's the good news. That's not a hard one to answer right now. Normally, that's pulling teeth, because you know, you're trying to get someone to admit they're in the bubble of chaos. And "no everything's fine." Well, yeah, everything's different. And so I love that we get some simple, quick clarity on that. as to what's right, I think is really important. We tend to go to the things that are wrong so quickly. Okay, who cares about the wrong things? What are the right things? Let's, let's take those and let's build on those. And I think that that's whether it's in business or relationships, or how we, how we interact with our family and friends right now, I think that stuff's really important to hone in on what's right. And Ray, we can do another five podcasts talking about the education system, I know we have a passion.KC Dempster 22:34 Let's not open that can of worms today.Kevin Davis 22:37 We won't deal with that one today. But but then what's missing? Okay, so if we say here that here's what's different here, the right things, here are some of the things that are missing. I think that gives us kind of a really reasonable look at the playing field. But then what do you do with that? And and, you know, I just was with an organization just this last week, we took an organization through this exact process where we asked those questions, then based on those answers, what you do and this I stole unashamedly from the the best selling book, Blue Ocean Strategy, you remember from back in '04? I do? I do. Yeah. And they had this, this wonderful little diagram. And and, you know, it was a big, thick, complicated book, and I'm, you know, what can I say, I'm a guy who likes barbecue. So pictures resonate with me. And I don't know if I can tell you much about the book, because I read it, you know, 14-15 years ago, but I remember the diagram, they had this simple four quadrant diagram that they used as a process where you start on the bottom left, and you ask yourself, you know, given what we just learned, by asking those other three questions, what do we need to do less of what do we reduce in life? Then your upper left quadrant is what do we eliminate? What do we just need to stop doing altogether? Your upper right quadrant is what do we need to increase or do more of? And then your lower right, the fourth one is what do we need to create that doesn't exist. And it's an ad some fascinating case studies in there. But I'm really encouraged. Now, that's quick to describe, right? We spent a whole day looking at this with this organization, and there'll be a lot of good follow up discussions that come out of it. But if you really stop and take the time to first ask those three questions, to sort of see what the landscape looks like, and then to kind of work through a process, looking at you know, what do we need to do less of what do we need to eliminate? What do we need to increase? What do we need to create? It is fascinating what you're going to come up with. It'll, you know, for some people it'll be revolutionary, it could really change the way they're approaching life.Ray Loewe 24:52 And it's a plan. Yeah. In a bubble of chaos, You know, I think the wisdom that you shared with us today is magnificent. And KC will put on our Rob podcast notes how to reach you and where you're at so that people can find you and, and follow some of these things because it just shows how great a coach you are to both people and financial advisors and business people And uh. Kevin, you're, there's no question. You're one of the luckiest people in the world, the luckiest people in the world design their own lives, and then live them the way they want to under their own terms. And you've done just that, ever since I've known you. And, and it's a shame, we didn't get a chance to talk more about pit barbecue. I remember you dropping off at the office one day, you know, meat for lunch, and it was just incredible. So so you know, here's a guy who, who has great creativity, the luckiest guy in the world. Remember, he created that he's a brand master. Second of all, you've seen some of the coaching wisdom that that he shared with us today. And and finally top that off with. He's gonna do this. While he's roasting meat. What?Kevin Davis 26:23 I'll leave you with a couple of thoughts. Keep watching the stuff I'm putting up on LinkedIn, because I think in two videos, I'm going to find a way how to tie in barbecue. And I'll give you a link to a YouTube video that I shot of me telling you how to how to cook the best ribs you've ever had. And, and there might be one about Turkey that I just saw that we just finished last night.KC Dempster 26:48 Oh, okay.Ray Loewe 26:50 Well, you know, Kevin, go ahead finish up.Kevin Davis 26:53 I was gonna say I've sort of I'd love to end with this, this thought, because we've talked about some things that I hope encourage people, I hope they challenge people. But you know, as you said, it's not the hearing, it's the doing it right? You have a plan, you got to go do something with it. You know, that age old saying you can lead a horse to water? Well, how's it end?KC Dempster 27:13 But you can't make them drink?Kevin Davis 27:16 Yeah. So remember, my parents are educators. And they started a STEM Academy 25 years ago. And so my dad posted something last week out on social media that blew me away. And yeah, I mean, when it's your parents, you're allowed to be skeptical because you know, all the stories. And he said, you know, puts it up there, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. And then it goes dot, dot, dot, unless you make sure they're really thirsty by feeding them salt first. And I thought, what a great perspective, talk about changing the rules. Why can't you make them drink, it just means you left a piece of equation out. And so I hope today, maybe what we did is we gave people some salt and made them a little thirsty.KC Dempster 28:02 I think you did.Ray Loewe 28:03 Yeah, I think you did too. And you know, thank you for being with us. Thank you for being a longtime friend and mentor. And thank you for joining us as one of the luckiest people in the world. And there's more to follow. So have a great day. And thanks again for being with us.Kevin Davis 28:20 Well, I appreciate it. It's been an honor. Great chatting with you guys.KC Dempster 28:24 and tune in everybody next week when we will be talking with one of our good friends from the Chicago land. And with more, more, more ways to help people be the luckiest people in the worldRay Loewe 28:37 and get out of the bubble of chaos or what a great line. Yeah.KC Dempster 28:42 Thanks again. Thank you for listening to Changing the Rules a podcast designed to help you live your life the way you want and give you what you need to make it happen. Join us next week for our next exciting topic on Changing the Rules with KC Dempster and Ray Loewe, the luckiest guy in the world.
On this episode of AI: Decodes the System, Dr. Shameka Gerald, a former principal and the current Director of Equity, Assessment & Strategic Operations for Newport News Public Schools in Virginia, and AI decode how Shameka started as a young person who was not good at math and ended up graduating with a degree in applied mathematics. They talk about the term digital divide and why she believes laptops and hotspots are not enough to close this gap. During the conversation, Shameka coins the term data privilege, which reveals that although most of the population may have access to a smartphone, their data plans may be limited and cannot support the school work. Further, broadband access may be nonexistent. They both believe that the laptop is the new textbook.They also discussed COVID-19's impact on education and how it has brought even more attention to the digital divide, and how students need a different solution to the current virtual learning model no matter their prior school performance. Shameka talks about how she made sure her students had access to laptops and hotspots before the pandemic and how it helped her school transition amid an international crisis. Shameka believes that although we need access, we also need to make sure our students know how to use digital tools to develop capital so that students and parents can engage in a global society. People are using technology to create new lines of work and they both are excited to see what Generation Z does in the future with tech. She also talks about meeting students where they are and how a twerk video helped her teach a student a valuable lesson about using digital tools.More about Dr. Shameka GeraldDr. Shameka Gerald is an educator, equity advocate, and self-proclaimed tech-junkie who wants to ensure that everyone knows that a Chromebook and a hotspot do not bridge the digital divide. In her 15 years in education, she has received numerous awards and helped close the opportunity gap in mathematics. She also successfully supported the turnaround of three schools and most recently closed out a six-year principalship with her school (a Governor's STEM Academy), earning three consecutive years of full accreditation.

If you want to know what lurks in the hearts, minds, and mouths of many taxpayer-subsidized “educators” in government schools, watch the first 8 1/2 minutes of this video of unhinged assistant principal Zach Ruff shouting, hurling obscenities, and singing show tunes to silence two young pro-life Christian conservatives. Last Friday, 40-year-old administrator Ruff—henceforth referred to as Gruff Ruff—verbally accosted 19-year-old Lauren Haines and her 16-year-old brother Connor on the sidewalk outside STEM Academy in Downingtown, Pennsylvannia where they were protesting abortion and sharing their faith. Read more……
We look forward to having Conner Haines join us today, Not only because of the recent todo where the Assistant Principal, who handled himslef with less grace then a toddler, lost it when Conner and his sister Lauren exposed the evil of abortion at STEM Academy in Downingtown, PA. Its a pleasure because Conner was an amazing young man before he garnered all this attention, when he displayed grace and truth as he shared the gospel and our nations holocaust, with love to his fellow youth. Get to know Conner, Project Frontlines, aboliton and a fuller picture of what went on at STEM Academy on Friday April 22nd.
