“If you're calling it news. It has to be true.” - Scott Slade In our latest episode of the Scaling UP! H2O podcast, host Trace Blackmore sits down with renowned journalist Scott Slade to delve into the critical role media plays in elections. With over 30 years of experience as the host of Atlanta Morning News on WSB Radio, and inducted into the Georgia Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, Scott brings unparalleled expertise and insight into the influence, accuracy, and bias of media as we approach the upcoming presidential election. Key Takeaways from the Episode The Importance of Accuracy in Journalism Scott Slade emphasizes that journalism is the first draft of history, highlighting the paramount importance of accuracy in traditional media. "It's your job to tell a balanced story, "He states, underscoring the responsibility of journalists to provide truthful and comprehensive coverage. Diversifying News Sources Slade advises against relying on a single news source, advocating for a well-rounded media diet. He champions the legitimacy and depth provided by local newspapers and stresses the need to consume news from multiple outlets to avoid the echo chamber effect. Scott advises, "Read a strong daily newspaper or two every day, even if it's online. Listen to more than one radio and TV station, and don't get caught in the echo chamber of ideas." The Dangers of Soundbites In today's fast-paced media landscape, soundbites can easily be taken out of context when there's a sensational sound bite. Scott recommends a thorough approach: "You should try to understand the who, the what, the when, the where, and the how of where that soundbite came from and why it's being used in the story.” He warns against the sensationalism that can arise from these snippets and encourages listeners to seek out the full story to grasp the context and nuances behind the headlines, and reminds us that “It's up to the journalist to make sure you (the audience) understand the context. Social Media as a News Source While social media can be a convenient way to stay informed, Slade cautions against using it as a primary news source due to its potential for inaccuracy. He suggests prioritizing more reliable and vetted sources for critical information. Scott notes, "If I had to give up something, as far as being in the know about what's really going on, I think social media would be the first thing I'd give up. It has great entertainment value but when it comes to making decisions about things where you need to really rely on what's truthful and accurate. It can come up lacking." Factors that Drive Newsworthiness Slade outlines five key news values that attract the most attention: locality, universality, celebrity involvement, conflict, and oddity. Stories that meet these criteria are more likely to engage and inform the public. Scott shares, "If your story can fill one, or even better, more of those slots, it's usually a good one." Media's Influence on Elections The Power of Perception Media has a substantial influence on shaping public perception during elections. Scott explains, "Media can present a perception of someone by what they include and what they leave out." By choosing what to include and what to omit, media outlets can significantly impact voters' views.  Upholding the Founding Fathers' Intent In a thought-provoking discussion, Slade and Blackmore touch on whether modern media upholds the First Amendment's intent. While media's role has evolved, the core responsibility of seeking and reporting truth remains unchanged. Scott remarks, "The society of professional journalists begins with seeking truth and reporting it." Advice for First-Time Voters For first-time voters feeling overwhelmed, Slade offers practical advice: "Preparation is the best remedy for stage fright. Knowledge is power." He encourages young voters to research candidates based on what matters most to them and to avoid the pitfalls of one-sided arguments. Final Thoughts This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intricate relationship between media and elections. Scott Slade's insights provide valuable guidance on navigating the complex media landscape, ensuring you stay informed and make well-rounded decisions as we head into the election season.   Listen to the Full Episode Don't miss this enlightening conversation with Scott Slade.

The challenge is… calculate the softening capacity of your water softener based upon incoming water. Seriously, get a pen and paper or even Excel and calculate it. Does your answer match the actual setpoint on the softener? Why would you want to set the softener lower than the theoretical maximum softening capacity you just calculated? What can impact the functional softening capacity of a water softener? Is it possible for the incoming hard water quality to change over time? How could iron in the incoming water impact softening capacity? Water softeners are more complex than that enclosed vessel you see before you day after day. Learning the nuances of how it works and what can cause it to behave differently will make you a stronger water treater.    2024 Events for Water Professionals Check out our Scaling UP!

This week we're talking about how to use less water in the garden. We are still in drought conditions here in west central Missouri, it was a hard gardening year for sure, but I also know when I lived in northern California that water conservation was always a topic of discussion and that was 30 years ago. Many of you live in areas where water is just naturally scarce, and restrictions are always in place. So how do we, as gardeners, balance a need to grow our own food and in some instances food for others with the need to use less of a very precious resource. We'll talk about tips, tricks, and techniques to keep your garden growing with less water input from the gardener. On that same note, the question of the week involves choosing drought-tolerant varieties of plants and whether or not that benefit has any drawbacks, specifically how well the plant is then able to tolerate very wet conditions. So, if your garden is full of drought-tolerant plants and you're suddenly inundated with several days of rain are you sunk? And in the DRL, it's serious freeze protection, the Moth, and a flashback to the 80s. Let's dig in!

Did you ever wish you could be that person who captivated a room, a gathering, an audience, a date with a story that cast a spell, moved them deeply, then left you both more connected and alive? Transformed even? Yeah, you're not alone. We all live lives filled with stories worth telling, but so often we don't realize it. And few of us know “how” to tell those stories in a way that brings others in close, then leaves them changed. Most just think it's a God-given ability. But, what if it wasn't? What if it was a skill anyone - including you - could learn? Would you want that? My guest today, Catherine Burns, believes it is. And, if there's anyone I'd believe, it's her. Catherine is the long-time Artistic Director at The Moth, the global phenomenon dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. In our conversation today, you'll hear us dive into many of the ideas, tips, and strategies from her newest book, How to Tell a Story: The Essential Guide to Memorable Storytelling from The Moth, which she co-wrote with fellow The Moth directors, Meg Bowles and Jenifer Hixson. If you've ever wondered why we care so much about stories in the first place or what elements make for a good story, you're in for a treat in this episode because Catherine and I dive deeper into the art of storytelling and what it takes for anyone, and we mean anyone, to craft a story worth listening to.

"Inspiring.... [This book] provides everything readers need to share their own personal narratives." -- Booklist

Come along to one of my free events in SeptemberWe all tell stories all of the time, but what makes a magical, memorable story? What pitfalls should we avoid? This was an issue that I was thinking about. Presentations are stories, and we deliver presentations every day.In my own investigation I found real value in the book by the storytelling organisation The Moth. I was beyond excited when I saw they were releasing a UK edition of the book. One of the authors Kate Tellers joins me to discuss The Moth's approach to making memorable stories. Kate is a senior director at The Moth, helping people transform into storytellers.

Joining Yuliana today is Kate Tellers, a staff member of The Moth and a co-author of How to Tell a Story: The Essential Guide to Memorable Storytelling. Kate shares her phoenix tale today of how she lost her mother at the young age of 28 and how this shaped her life. She shares how lessons she learned from her mom set her on the path to storytelling and how these lessons continue to echo even today. Kate recounts how her life experienced a redirection following the death of her mother, and also about her final moment with her mother with whom she had a close relationship. Talking about grief, Kate describes it as nonlinear and how she honors her mom. She also describes her relationship with her children as being influenced by losing her own mother and goes on to discuss discovering storytelling after her mom's death and the importance of storytelling in our lives. The episode ends with Kate sharing the one song that resonates with her life - a song about how life can be bittersweet. Episode Highlights: The challenging event that redirected the course of Kate's life How the death of her mother shaped Kate's college years The final moments Handling the grief Kate's special ritual to honor her mom How losing her mom at a young age impacts Kate's relationship with her children Getting into storytelling Observing as a storyteller and still living in the present Kate talks about her new book The one song that resonates with Kate's life Quotes: “She went very fast. She just went from like a healthy person swimming laps, who happens to have cancer to a person that was no longer alive.” “What I learned most about losing my mother, like the greatest grief I've ever experienced, is that it's so nonlinear.” “I'm the mom that rolls on the floor with the kids. I mom so freaking hard because I have such respect for the relationship that you get and the form and the connection you can build with your children.” “When you tell a story about someone, you bring them alive. You bring them to the forefront of your mind and anyone who's listening, and that's magic to me .” “I am so invested in creating present moments with my kids. I just want to imprint myself on their tiny brains.” “Having a story brain forces me to laser focus in a way. I could be on the subway, and also rescheduling my appointment with my dermatologist while I'm listening to a podcast and looking out the window, remembering the time I went on a date at that restaurant.” “The true nature of life is that you can have great beauty and great sadness that sit aside each other.” “That Barbra Streisand version of ‘The Shadow of Your Smile'...my mother had a really, she had a huge smile. She just left her mark on you. She was the one at a party that found the quiet person in the corner and you would find them, like, laughing with their heads back ten minutes later, you know. She left a mark.” Links: https://www.yulianakimgrant.com/phoenix-tales (Phoenix Tales Homepage) https://www.instagram.com/yulianakimgrantofficial/ (Phoenix Tales on Instagram) https://open.spotify.com/show/1heIpPMsG6HbXXIDLmAnEe (Phoenix Tales on Spotify) https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=322043276201679 (Phoenix Tales on Facebook) https://www.amazon.com/How-Tell-Story-Essential-Storytelling/dp/0593139003 (How to Tell a Story) https://www.instagram.com/thekatetellers/ (Kate Tellers Instagram)

I came to storytelling from a love of local business and their owners in Richmond, Virginia. First, I loved their products, from biscuits to T-shirts to local moonshine. And once I got to know these businesses and their owners, I wanted to shout their stories from the rooftops. I wanted the whole world, or at least the people in my city, to know about them and spend their dollars there.These startups and small businesses made me proud of my community. So I told their stories in every way I could. I posted about them on social media. I told my friends about them. I wrote blog posts and articles.I was celebrating these small businesses in every possible way, but I never called it storytelling. It was just something I did.So let this be the first rule of storytelling and ecosystem building: It doesn't have to be hard.If you tell your friends about your favorite local businesses or you post about them on social media, you are already telling their stories; you're just not thinking about it that way.In today's Summer Skill Session, I want to introduce you to my five-step approach to telling meaningful stories about your ecosystem.If you tell your friends about your favorite local businesses or you post about them on social media, you are already telling their stories.  You're just not thinking about it that way. Listen to the full episode to hear: Five key aspects to consider when building your storytelling strategy Why keeping it simple will help you keep it consistent How to set the tone for your stories so that they acknowledge what's hard, while staying hopeful Five tips for successful storytelling Learn More About Anika Horn: Website: www.socialventurers.com  Instagram: SocialVenturers Newsletter: Sign up for Impact Curator Resources: @FindLocalRVA on Instagram Manifesto for a Moral Revolution: Practices to Build a Better World, Jacqueline Novogratz Isaac Jeffries on consistent content creation How to Tell a Story: The Essential Guide to Memorable Storytelling from the Moth Unsung Heroes of Ecosystem Building (campaign)

Art! You can paint it, you can speak it, you can also sell it. Everette Taylor, CMO for Artsy, explains they have simplified investing in fine art for both the artist and buyer and how passing on a job at Chick-Fil-A led him to this place. Is a penis piercing art? @Rod4Short details (too much detail) his quest to get one as a youth and how the art of poetry has landed some rappers with a RICO charge. Journalists and storytellers Alexis K. Barton and Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika from the award-winning storytelling outlet 'The Moth' break down the book "How to Tell a Story: The Essential Guide to Memorable Storytelling" and how the art of storytelling can help you stand out in your job or a job interview. Ohio-based artist Hakim (HakimsArtNStuff.com) breaks down the differences between a mural that could get you applause and street art that could get you arrested and how he and other artists use social media to evolve their craft, even during a global pandemic. This episode of Roy's Job Fair is brought to you by Sackleson State Community College, the only college for good-looking people.

Usually, when a moth enters your home it's annoying.  They're not dangerous or unsanitary, they're just annoying.  Not this time.  This moth tells stories.  It's also an organization, not a literal moth.  The opposable thumbs and human brain really help when writing a book.  They also help when telling stories in an interesting way, which is what this book is all about.  We all know someone who really likes telling people what happened to them but is absolutely awful at it.  It is a moral imperative to help these people to stop saying "like, um" every other word when talking.  Perhaps this book could remedy that.

I am gleeful and proud to introduce you to one of my very best friends and today's guest on the podcast, Kate Tellers. The Wall Street Journal calls her “a storytelling guru.”  Kate is on the leadership team at The Moth – one of the preeminent storytelling organizations in this country – she travels the globe to teach the art of storytelling. Isn't that so cool?!? Her past clients include some of the brightest non-profits in changemaking: International Women's Forum, Kellogg Foundation, Ashoka, and Melinda Gates, as well as companies like Spotify, Google, and the U.S. State Department. There are a buttload of reasons why a big company like Nike would pair with The Moth to incorporate storytelling into their brand, but the big takeaway for Brian Breaks Character listeners: Storytelling can drive the bottom line for profit and impact. I believe all creativity is storytelling and I believe this episode is one of our very best. Kate does not hold back in this masterclass in storytelling:    Surprise! Your aim in storytelling isn't to entertain, but to get the truth in your story Your story matters, no matter what… but it's gotta matter to you (my Agent Goals students know this all too well!) Bring a strong POV or no one cares, no one cares Kate walks us through her 3-step process to prep before telling a story or hosting a show How to get involved... there's probs a Moth StorySlam near you!   Storytelling is the heart of what we do as creatives and I just know this intimate and honest conversation will inspire you (oooooooooh, and listen til the very end to hear some off-the-record Kate-n-Brian chit chat that will def make you LOL) Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Brian Breaks Character!   If you loved this episode, please subscribe and leave an honest review. Your review helps boost the show and gives us the chance to help more creatives get out of suffering for their art and into action.
