Once co-host Kerry, as a baby, climbed all over his shiny oxygen tank. They first met in the mid 80s, he born premature, and have known each other all their lives, including all sorts of camp experiences throughout the 90s. Steven Potter is back, his third time with us on the show, and he brings his ear for audio and impeccable memory to this lighthearted summer subject. It's a summertime children's pastime, camp of all kinds, both day and overnight and this week on Outlook we're talking camp, camp, and more camp. We share about our early childhood adventures going to the day camp for blind kids in our area and then the overnight camp, the CNIB Lake Joe Centre, we all three went to together, including old cassette audio tape sound clips from those days. Also, we end off with talk of one for patients with kidney disease and their families. So join in with us as we, three old chums, reminisce on summer camp in these final summer days.

Steve and I discuss his book, How to Motivate Your Students to Love Learning, which is both a memoir and a guide for teachers and students to optimize the learning experience for intrinsic motivation. Steve taught neuroscience and engineering courses while running his own lab studying the activity of live cultured neural populations (which we discuss at length in his previous episode). He relentlessly tested and tweaked his teaching methods, including constant feedback from the students, to optimize their learning experiences. He settled on real-world, project-based learning approaches, like writing wikipedia articles and helping groups of students design and carry out their own experiments. We discuss that, plus the science behind learning, principles important for motivating students and maintaining that motivation, and many of the other valuable insights he shares in the book.

Back from a long break, it's time for the first NEW EPISODE of the NEW YEAR!Full Sail University Alum, Steve Potter, returns to the show to talk about the film Alliances Broken, that he and Cole Fewin worked on together, and the process of getting it on a screen near you!He discusses the process of making the documentary, the heartbreaking stories, and why the project was so important to him.Plus, I fill you in on whats been going on since my last episode of 2020, a spin from the Fat Bearded Vinyl Guy, and "Little Miss"LEIA!

As COVID-19 spread across the United States this past spring, the call went out for medical professionals to come join the fight. Executive search firm Odgers Berndtson, led by CEO Steve Potter and COO Kennon Kincaid, answered the call. They mobilized their data resources, led by Javier O'Neil and Valeria Escamilla, their Healthcare practice, led by Maureen Ryan, and their executive search expertise, spearheaded by Jon Barney, to identify and mobilize healthcare professionals in collaboration with the U.S. Civilian Corps.   This is the story of a remarkable group of individuals, who answered the call to serve their country at a time when we needed it most.

“As homeless people turn off visitors, San Francisco tourism senses threat” notes Travelers Weekly. “Seattle Is Dying: Drugs And Homelessness In Seattle,” laments KOMO Seattle. “Austin veteran fights off alleged homeless attacker after offering to help him,” exclaims ABC-affiliate KVUE. As housing costs skyrocket and inequality grows, homelessness is reaching crisis levels in large metropolitan areas. In response, the media––namely local news stations––routinely treat the homeless like an invading species, a vermin to be, at best, contained, and at worst eradicated.  The result has been a slew of stories pathologizing those experiencing homelessness as uniquely dangerous. Panhandlers are viewed as con men out to screw over the working man, chased down by vigilantes with the help of outraged local news “standing up” to the poor. The housing status of those who commit crimes is only mentioned when they’re homeless––never for the housed––and every transgression committed by the homeless is viewed by our media as evidence that the homeless population in general is out to attack us all. But this narrative flies in the face of the evidence, and tracks––like most “crime coverage”––with the needs of real estate interests who set the tone for local media coverage, and who have every reason to highlight and oversell the threat of homeless to pressure lawmakers and police to displace “eye sores” for the yuppie clientele they’re attempting to sell and ultimately serve.  On this first of our two-part episode, we are joined by Steve Potter, an Austin-based artist and homeless activist.

Steve Potter - Courageous Christianity - July 14th, 2013

When President Obama recently complained, that although "we can identify galaxies light years away, study particles smaller than an atom ... we still haven't unlocked the mystery of the three pounds of matter that sits between our ears" - he called on scientists to unravel the trillions of neural connections inside our brains that make our minds work.Some researchers are already doing that - trying to understand the brain by starting to build one. At Reading University, at the newly constructed Brain Embodiment Laboratory, researchers plan to connect cultures of living human neurons to robots - to give meaning to their neural activity. At Georgia Tech, Atlanta, neuroengineer Steve Potter, agrees that cultured neurons not connected to the outside world suffer sensory deprivation. His neural arrays descend into spasms of epileptic activity when left alone. When plugged in, they can control machines across the planet."I believe these cultures are half-way to having a mind," says Potter. "Wired up to listen to their own outputs, they could be self aware."Other researchers are building brains from inanimate materials - using tendrils of silver, silicon and sulphur that spring into life like activity when wired up to electricity. At Stanford University, plans are afoot to meld them with living neurons - perhaps to enhance our thought processes.These devices can learn, remember and process information - but do they think? Can these scientists really build a brain? And what would it tell us about ours if they could?
