They touched on a lot of different topics - a key theme throughout is the importance of the user experience in data mesh, for both data product producers and consumers. Karen highlighted some parallels between data mesh and content management projects and how to take some key learnings from the past and apply them to data mesh implementations. They discussed the importance of providing your internal people with the right content at their current point in their learning journey - a successful implementation of data mesh requires making it far easier and more scalable to share incremental work artifacts and knowledge - it also means your crucial company knowledge actually gets documented properly. Steve talked about some historic challenges he had personally with decentralized teams - if you don't manage the cross domain collaboration, both at the business and the technical implementation levels, it is a major pain to stich your data together from all those sources. So there needs to be good alignment on interoperability. Basically, data mesh without a good interoperability strategy is just high quality data silos. Karen and Steve both emphasized the importance of UX (user experience) for driving adoption. You can have the best solution in the world but if the users don't want it, it's not going to be successful. So working with them throughout the process is crucial to get to a successful implementation, whether that is data mesh or not. Karen wrapped up by emphasizing the need to be patient and to not expect the same results or try to copy the exact path of other organizations implementing a data mesh. Every organization is very unique and you need to figure out what might work for your organization. Take learnings, not exact blueprints. The last key point to extract is the need for multiple communication methods, especially for data requests. There may be some overlap but it's a great way to ensure reliability and scalability of your business processes.

One note I want to make is that this interview was recorded a couple of months prior to publication, so Darren's comments about the COVID-related restrictions in Vietnam do not reflect the current environment there.

Laura Tucker is a writer, photographer, podcaster, and recovering coach. She and I connected a while back, and in discussing our ideas about personal growth, coaching, gurus, and more, came up with the idea of a podcast swap … and then took it to another level by swapping the guest & host roles. So, in this episode, Laura took the host chair and interviewed me!Here's some of what we talked about: How I accidentally became a professional artistMy journey from IT to therapy and coaching Differences between therapy and coachingWhat I'm rebelling against The ‘big why' behind my coaching work What's a Sensitive rebel, anyway?What's an HSP?How sensitivity can be a strength. My Instagram ‘strategy'Why I started a podcast, and some of my favorite ones to listen toThe power of music, and some of my favorite music. The importance of one's physical environmentDefinitely check out Laura's Free Your Inner Guru podcast … a good place to start would be the ‘companion' interview to this one - my interview of her, which is episode 93 of the Free Your Inner Guru podcast. We had a great conversation about her story, her experience with James Arthur Ray, and how the Sedona sweat lodge incident in 2009 which she was a part of affected her and informed her journey.

My guest for this episode of The Sensitive Rebel is Dr. Serena Sterling.  Serena is a certified Life Coach who holds a masters degree in International Journalism and a doctorate in clinical psychology, which she pursued because of her own experience of overcoming chronic fatigue syndrome and finding ways to alleviate her own chronic pain from years of living with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. In addition to her clinical work, which she does virtually with clients across the globe, Serena speaks on the topics of identifying and releasing repressed emotions as a means to alleviate pain and improve health & performance and is the author of the book Pain: A Love Story.  Sensitive Rebels aren't all people who are highly expressive or overtly emotional. One of the reasons I wanted to have Serena on the podcast is because of her experience of having her emotional side be unsupported and being someone who coped with that by learning to repress her emotions. As you'll hear, whether or not you allow yourself to feel your feelings, they're still inside of you, and they'll make themselves known in some form or other.Links to topics discussed:Reed College - https://reed.eduLouise Hay - https://louisehay.comLandmark Education Worldwide (Wikipedia) -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmark_WorldwideAlexithymia (Wikipedia) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlexithymiaWhat is an Empath?

This episode is a bit different. You're going to hear a lot about sacred spaces, ritual, and prayer today … but in more of a spiritual sense, not a religious one. Dr. Tom Garcia describes himself as a shamanic teacher and spiritual guide with a unique gift for helping people clear away the blocks that keep them from reaching their dreams and experiencing peace and happiness.Through wisdom born of personal experience and genuine humility, he helps people awaken, strengthen and deepen their connection within to rediscover their true voice and unearth their deepest calling.With the help of the mystical guides who led him to his own spiritual awakening, he uses clear guidance and gentle presence to move past fear and uncertainty into the light of your own wisdom.  He lives with his family in the mountains of Colorado.Topics discussed in today's episode:* EST (Erhard Seminars Training), a personal growth program from the 70's.* Tom's transition from a Chiropractor to starting to develop fire ceremonies.* The roles of ritual and ceremony and importance of safe spaces in inner / personal growth work.* How our own views and biases distort how we see and interpret the world.* The importance of support system and familiar / comfortable activities in supporting one's personal growth & development work.* Imposter syndrome and how it can impact and hinder our growth and development.Links:“We see the world not as it is, but as we are” - https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/03/09/as-we-are/EST (Wikipedia) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erhard_Seminars_TrainingMarianne Williamson (author, spiritual leader, creator of A Course in Miracles) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_WilliamsonOur Greatest Fear (poem by Marianne Williamson) -https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-deepest-fear-5/ Gary Renard - http://www.garyrenard.comLynne McTaggart - https://lynnemctaggart.comConnect with Tom:Web - https://reclaimthesacred.comConnect with Steve:Email - steve@sensitiverebel.comWeb - https://sensitiverebel.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk7zd5kba1SQZOyM5sKKiVAInstagram - https://instagram.com/thesensitiverebel

In addition to founding  Pen Parentis, a literary nonprofit that helps writers stay creative after having kids, Milda (also known as M.M. De Voe), is a Pushcart-nominated author of short fiction, with work in the Shirley Jackson Award-winning anthology Twisted Book of Shadows and in literary journals in Israel, Great Britain, Canada, and the US, and in the anthology Delirium Corridors. Nominated for her fourth Pushcart in 2021, her first full-length nonfiction —  Book &Baby: The Complete Guide to Managing Chaos & Becoming a Wildly Successful Writer-Parent (Brooklyn Writers Press, 2021) — is an instructional guide that Midwest Book Review called “a mandatory read.” This book won first place in the 2021 Indie Awards for writing/publishing books.

She lives in Manhattan with her husband, kids, and an urban rabbit. In this episode, we discuss her rebellion against 'anti-curiosity' (indifference is the word neither she or I could think of during the interview), the impact of growing up as the child of a scientist and an educator on her as it relates to her curiosity and her attitude about mistakes, her career progression to becoming a writer, the impact of 9/11 on her life, her new book, upcoming projects, and more.Related links:College Station TX (Wikipedia) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Station,_TexasAggie Bonfire collapse (Wikipedia) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Aggie_Bonfire_collapseMaria Montessori (American Montessori Society) - https://amshq.org/About-Montessori/History-of-Montessori/Who-Was-Maria-MontessoriChristopher Durang (Wikipedia) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_DurangAlexander Calder (SF MOMA) - https://www.sfmoma.org/artist/alexander_calder/Scribente Maternum - https://www.scribentematernum.comTiny Owl Press - https://tinyowl.co.ukDomenica Ruta - Last Day (Goodreads) - https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/41794726-last-daySarah Langan - Good Neighbors (Goodreads) - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54304088-good-neighborsHelen Phillips - The Need - https://www.helencphillips.com/the-needConnect with Milda:Web - https://mmdevoe.comWeb (Pen Parentis) - https://www.penparentis.orgTwitter - @mmdevoeConnect with Steve:Email - steve@sensitiverebel.comWeb - https://sensitiverebel.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk7zd5kba1SQZOyM5sKKiVAInstagram - https://instagram.com/thesensitiverebel

Regina Graziani, my guest for this episode, describes herself thusly: “I'm an attorney by education and training, and a mentor by passion. I love nothing more, if you don't count calorie-free ice cream, than to assist learners to successfully transition into the legal profession and reach their professional goals. I am an advocate of, and have extensive experience, with paralegals and paralegal students, which is why I was chosen for my current role - Program Director, Paralegal Studies Program - at the University of Hartford. I regularly present on topics of interest to paralegals and attorneys, locally and nationally. I am a proponent of doing something that is difficult, challenging, and outside your comfort zone, every single day.”Regina's story illustrates so many important things about finding success, from the importance and power of advocacy, whether it's for oneself or for others, why persistence is essential for success, and how the right perspective on failure can make all the difference when life knocks us down.

My guest on this episode of The Sensitive Rebel is Anthony Stoker.  With over 25 years experience in the footwear industry, Anthony Stoker takes inspiration from the world of art and music, and works closely with an Italian family-run factory, to produce shoes worth cherishing. A collection imbued with captivating elegance, and founded on the values of longevity and reverence. Longevity; a quality that will last both physically and emotionally. Reverence; to inspire awareness and respect; for the craft and the craftspeople, and customers too.I first met Anthony a few months ago when I began my podcast journey. He has his own podcast, "The View From A Shoe", which is definitely worth a listen. In our conversation we talk about Anthony's journey into shoe design, the evolution of his own line of shoes, how he's balanced going with the flow and listening to his gut, and the role a children's book may have played in his career choice, among other things (like, for example, the band New Order and their album covers).

Meet Steve Fry Co-founder of a number of businesses, including two that have made the Inc. 500 and Inc. 5000 Lists. Today, Steve spends his time matchmaking organizations that genuinely want to grow or increase collaboration with a team of experts in E-Commerce, M365/SharePoint and Digital Marketing. Steve serves on a number of boards where he gets to see up close how non-profits work. Having been to about 70 countries, Steve loves to travel with his wife, Jan. They have two grown daughters and live in suburban Des Moines. Tell us a little bit about your company and what exactly it is that you do and introduce the company in general? We have a couple of companies, but they're all under the banner of spindustry. And we're based in the suburbs of Des Moines, Iowa. And we do really two major things. The first would be large scale web application development. And as a part of that would be replacement parts e-commerce. We do a lot of that. And then the other side of our business is Microsoft Office 365. And as a part of that platform, we do a lot of work with SharePoint, Teams, Power BI, and some of the tools within that suite to move businesses to the cloud. As people are working more and more remotely, that is a platform that is very busy for us and serves our clients well. How did you get into this space and tell us a little bit about your background? It started about 35 years ago, when I first got out of school, I went to work for an insurance company and then I moved to Iowa back in 1990. I was involved for a number of years with an exporting business. We sold old firefighting and safety equipment that was manufactured in United States, but all of our clients were international. And I, for a number of years, covered Asia Pacific. So, from Japan down to Australia, and then back west to India, and got to do a lot of traveling. And that was back in the day when we didn't have email. And we didn't have the ability to communicate like we do today. And then in in 1996, we started a new company. I met a guy when I was working in a product fulfillment business, Michael Bird, he's my business partner. And he helped us in the exporting business to automate everything that we were doing. And he just did a wonderful job and he was entrepreneurial. And my business partner and I and other businesses decided to, you know, let's start a new business. Where do you see the future of business going today? So I in my business career, I have seen incredible change. I remember When I was early in my career, the fax machine became a prominent feature in most offices. And that was a revolutionary tool that you could actually send something, a piece of paper for from one office to another. And we do so many things that I couldn't have thought of 30 years ago, even 10 years ago, we do things today, we wouldn't have thought of. And I think looking forward there's more change. I think there'll be careers that people do 10 years from now that don't exist today. I know a lot of people are involved in social media work today. Well, if you go back maybe 10 or 12 years ago, that's really when that all started and there was nobody working in social media today. That's a big, big business. Can you share with our listeners your most successful or one of your favorite networking stories that you had? I have belonged to a breakfast club for several years now. It meets twice a month, and this is going back about 10 years. One morning after we had our bimonthly breakfast, one of the members that I had just met but didn't really know him very well came up to me and we were chatting and he said he thinks he may have a client for me. It was a hog farmer in northwestern Iowa. And I looked at him and I said, Jim, do you know what I do? And he laughed. And he said I think you'd be surprised, and I thought, I don't know how we're going to help a hog farmer in northwestern Iowa. But I will tell you in the 10 years since, between that relationship and about three or four other relationships, this same gentleman has referred me to and networked with me to find these opportunities. I'm going to say we've done at least a couple of million dollars’ worth of business for those clients. And it's all been I joined that breakfast club. As a global traveler has met a ton of people throughout your professional and personal career, how do you stand in front of them best nurture these relationships that you've created? Our business follows the attraction program or entrepreneurial operating system, EOS. And I have quarterly rocks. And I think almost always one of my rocks is that I have to meet with at least one influencer a week for lunch. Sometimes it's two or three people in a week. I also will sometimes bring people in for lunch, bring them a box lunch and just showcase some of the things that we do so they can have a better and better understanding of what our organization does to serve clients and companies. I send out a monthly e-newsletter. That's a private email just to my group of influencers. It's just like, I always put just two things, two points in there that I want to let them know. And it's just a way to keep our business front of mind for those for those folks as they go. What advice would you offer that business professional who's looking to grow their network? I think the key there is just always be looking for ways to get connected and involved. And so places that you might do that would be business associations. There's a lot of associations for every business. There's community leadership programs, we have a statewide leadership program. And it's great to be able to get connected with people on a on a broader network across every industry. I play golf. I belong to a country club, and I play golf, and I get to meet a lot of people that way. And there's nothing better than spending four hours playing golf with somebody to get to know them and then have a beer afterwards. That's a great way to get connected otherwise people might not ever be able to, you might not ever get a meeting with somebody but I've had the chance to golf with some people that are pretty cool and have helped me out a lot. Between digital networking and traditional networking, which one do you find more value? They're both equally important in my world, and I'm one of the oldest people in the office. I do things from a traditional standpoint, like handwritten thank you notes that nobody else does anymore. I still think they're important. And then I get good feedback from those. I do those sorts of things. And I do use the phone and I do go to lunch. When I to do a networking lunch, it's often how can I help you get connected to somebody else? Because if I take care and help you match-make to an opportunity, long term, I know you'll think of me when the time is right. If you could go back to your 20 year old self, what would you tell yourself to do more of, less of, or differently with regards to your professional career? I think I always mimicked the best people in the business that I was associated with. When you talk about networking, it's just getting to know people and not being afraid to ask for a mentor to ask how do you do things? How have you asked successful people? How have you gotten to where you are, and they're always willing to help you, particularly when you're young and when you're young, or you're starting a new job, or you're in some new space within your current job, people like to help. So don't be afraid to ask for help. And so look for opportunities, get involved, jump in, even when you don't know anybody or you're uncomfortable. Any final word or advice for our listeners with regards to growing and supporting your network? If you will approach networking with the idea that you're trying to give more than you are to get, you'll end up getting plenty. It's just like when you give Christmas presents, I don't know about you, but I think for most people, it's more fun to give than to receive sometimes. And I think that same thing is true for networking. How to connect with Steve Email: sfry@spindustry.com Website: https://www.spindustry.com/

  Online newsrooms are becoming very popular, thanks to companies like TEKGroup International Inc., an internet software and services firm that helps PR and corporate communications professionals save time and money, while providing a platform to help increase coverage in the mainstream and social media. Companies like Starbucks, Toyota, Dunkin Donuts and Walgreen’s and many others are using these newsrooms to centralize all their communications content. On this episode of #Brandstorm, Steve Momorella, owner and founder of TEKGroup talks about the online newsroom and why companies should be considering them.   What is an Online Newsroom? TekGroup has been creating newsroom for brands since 1998. Back then, they were called Press Rooms. They were a placeholder on your website for press release, news coverage, logos and imagery. The focus of the Press Room was for journalists. With the advent of social media, in the last 5 years or so, these Press Rooms have changed to Online Newsrooms or Brand Journalism Newsrooms where the focus is on the brand’s audiences. It is now a hub for all communications content – media assets, stories, imagery, video, audio, pdfs, social media, etc. While press releases are still used, companies have switched their focus to stories about the brand -- how the brand was created and how it is being used by customers, as an example. The articles are often written by people in different departments within the company, and not just PR professionals. Companies like Sprint are using the online newsroom as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) site or as Investor Relations sites. Steve says the other big difference is that online newsrooms now make it possible to upload content and distribute all your communications to journalists, employees, customers and any other target audiences with a few clicks and its delivered. The Online Newsroom Advantage With social media and distribution integrated into one platform, PR and Communications professionals save time and money. They don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on wire releases because more than 4000 journalists are already in the dashboard and can be targeted by industry. TekGroup even offers a Twitter feed for journalists that can also be targeted by industry. You also can save money by not having to pay contact database companies to send out emails. In the past, PR professionals had to write the content, pay a wire service so they could upload the photos and press release for distribution. Now PR professionals can save valuable time because the platform integrates distribution and all your social assets.  You can choose which social media account to use, who you want to send the content to, while sending out consistent messaging, all from one dashboard. TekGroup Technical Support The online newsroom is technically a standalone site from the company’s website, however from a visual and SEO perspective, it is integrated with the website. Visitors never know they are going to another site when they click on the newsroom icon. TekGroup build the site based on the client’s needs, and then become the IT department, hosting and managing the site. The platform also has an embedded analytics system that can integrate with a company’s Google Analytics for tracking and SEO purposes. The Way of the Future Steve says research has been conducted the last 15 years to measure the trends and expectations of both journalists and consumers when it comes to an online newsroom. In the past, it was used 100 percent of the time by journalists. Now, the numbers are 70 percent consumers; 30 percent journalists. Pricing According to Steve, there are two pricing tiers – professional and enterprise tiers. For large companies with lots of personnel, locations, products and services, it can be expensive. For small companies, the cost $10,000 annually. Steve likes to say, for less than $1000 per month, you get a fully-hosted website management system with unlimited use. Plus, no more costs for wire services or email contact companies. The savings can be huge depending on how much content a company sends out.
