Hotelier Dena O'Donovan is a businesswoman, musician, entrepreneur and … daily sea swimmer. Having spent her childhood summers on Inchydoney Beach, the Clonakilty woman has continued her love affair with the popular strand and can be seen there most mornings splashing about in the waves or swimming short distances for health and well-being. She admits that her much-publicised trials and tribulations at the hands of a vulture fund in recent years have left her seeking the solace of the salty water more than ever. But she is also actively involved, along with other Inchydoney locals, in research, spear-headed by UCC, to monitor the ongoing coastal erosion at her beloved beach. As a result of this, the BBC recently shot an episode of its Storyworks series at Inchydoney, featuring Dena, and the story of coastal erosion.But for now, here's a little chat our editor Siobhán Cronin had with Dena about her lifelong fascination with saltwater.

Michael Shaun Conaway is my guest on Episode 160 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. Michael Shaun is endlessly curious about how life works, why we do things the way we do and how we might do them differently. This led him to become a phenomenological philosopher – someone who examines life from the way life shows up moment to moment. His current work in Being and Time is rooted in this tradition. Michael Shaun's purpose in life is to unleash greatness to bring about a thriving future. His mission is to empower and accelerate the redesign of our failing systems to create an anti-fragile, anti-rival world, one that works for all. To this end he helped to create the field of Generative Futurism, the practice of generating or envisioning desirable futures at near and long timeframes, back-casting steps it would take to realize that future and then acting to take those steps moving forward in time. Simply put, this is the capacity to see and realize futures. Michael Shaun is a frequent speaker on long-term strategy, the future and being and time. His keynotes have the uncanny power to shift culture by building a new narrative for the audience. His talks are journeys designed to leave the audience seeing from a new reality. Michael Shaun Conaway is the founder of five highly successful ventures. He is an award-winning filmmaker, editing publisher of PROOF magazine, founder of Bold.ly NOW, a entrepreneur education platform, CEO of Storyworks, a social impact creative agency, and the non-profit Generative Futures initiative. Michael Shaun is the director of award-winning documentary feature, WeRiseUP, a culture-shifting film featuring key global leaders. WeRiseUP asks a fundamental question: What is success for humanity? Michael Shaun started his career in the mid-nineties as a writer/director for video games. By 2000 his creative agency, Storyworks became the go to agency for high tech companies looking to create visions of the future. https://thegenerativefuturist.com

Alida and Kathryn dig into narrative storytellers on this week's Story Works Round Table. Have you ever written a story with a storyteller as narrator? That's a narrator that is not invisible, like the typical authorial narrator, and is not a character, like a first person narrator. But this narrator is full of personality and can be as opinionated as you like. A storyteller's voice evokes a sense of being present, of hearing the story is essential to creating a storyteller experience for the reader. Show notes & more at www.StoryWorksPodcast.com

How to build a super career in Marketing- Indranil Chakraborty- IIM Lucknow | Unilever | Storyworks Career Conversation with Indranil Chakraborty (IC) -- an alumnus of Jadavpur University and IIM Lucknow who has spent ~20 yrs in marketing roles at Unilever , TTSL, Mahindra Resorts. Later he became an Entrepreneur @ Storyworks In this free wheeling discussion, we discuss about his schooling at St Edmund Shillong, key takeaways in terms of value based education, English speaking skills, an outgoing personality. Then we ask why he opted for the Engineering+MBA combination as the 'hot formula' for success - was it as popular in the 80s as much as its today. He said that it was a lot of sequential events, thus a lot of luck and serendipity played its role We also touched upon his views on having work experience before MBA We move to how his marketing & sales experiences were at HUL across locations like Nepal, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata etc. We asked about whether brand management is as glamourous as it sounds from the outside. He demystifies a lot of concepts surrounding the field of Marketing. Also talks about the importance of having a good first boss who can mentor you well, as much as an employer brand and pay. But he realizes that that may not always be possible, but if possible, one must do due diligence. Also, he explained why marketing companies are willing to pay top dollar for graduates from the IIMs, less to do with whats actually taught there and more to do with the character traits one exhibits as he/she reaches there and the filtration process. He shared his experiences trying to set up the Build a Bear brand https://www.buildabear.com/ as a franchisee in India. He then shared how the shift from a Lux/Lakme and Breeze to prepaid SIMs and holiday experiences were, from a marketing standpoint. Then he explained how the transition to Storyworks happened, a lot of luck and serendipity played its role, the initial resistances, He then shared his views on whats better - Job or Entrepreneurship, his take on the recent startup funding scenario ; how the ones that are going to solve unaddressed problems will survive. He also wondered whether the path to profitability being secondary as the focus is on building companies for IPOs/valuation instead of for consumers. Recently we had the WorldMentalHealthDay and he also was kind enough to share his experience with overcoming bipolar disorder during his HUL days, how the company was very supportive and how the stigma surrounding mental health must be replaced by the societal realization that seeking external help for mental health issues ( chemical imbalances) are as normal as someone having a doctor being consulted for a toothache or an injury. The usual approach of people saying 'Hey come one, cheer up, lets go for a movie just doesnt work' He spoke about his views on Youth and their career aspirations, acknowledging that the current generation is more informed as well as ambitious. But also has to overcome a sense of entitlement and also realise that growth comes at its own pace automatically once you keep working hard.

How can the dead speak when we’ve deemed them too unimportant to listen? On this episode, we’ll explore what Lena Johamesson calls the “significant insignificances” of history through the lens of two Wisconsin fires: The Great Peshtigo Fire, and the fire and murders at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin. This week’s questions are: How and why do historical events and figures become significant? Is there a way to reframe the way we think about or approach history to elevate what Johamesson calls “the significant insignificances”? What tiny but crucial details do you care about in your historical subject of interest? Please be sure to get in touch with your answers! Find me on Twitter and Instagram @ladycryptoid and by email at ladycryptoid@gmail.com.

NUGGET CONTEXT Indranil talks about what it takes to build story-telling into a habit. He talks about what deliberate practice looks like in the context of building this capability. He suggests that we need to put a stake in the ground and make a commitment to ourselves. He urges us to look for low evaluative and low judgment situations where this can be experimented and we can get the ball rolling. Most importantly, he talks about the criticality of capturing the stories and tagging them appropriately so that we can recall the right story at the right time.  GUEST Indranil Chakraborty runs StoryWorks, that helps organisations and leaders harness the power of stories to create and deliver impactful messages. He has spent two decades of experience leading teams and driving change at reputed firms such as Unilever, Tata Group and Mahindra & Mahindra. He is the author of the book "Stories at Work - Unlock the secret to Business Storytelling” published recently by Penguin Random House. In our conversation, we talk at length about some of the insights in the book. Indranil first demystifies the term “Business Storytelling” and distinguishes it from other forms of storytelling. We then discuss other elements including how one should listen to stories and collect them systematically, the different applications of storytelling, how story telling bridges the asymmetry that often exists due to the "curse of knowledge”, how one can build deeper relationships through stories, how we can bake in the story-telling habit in our life and more. The lessons from this conversation could be relevant to a range of people. But specifically, this conversation is likely to be specifically relevant to four constituents. 1) Entrepreneurs that are trying to build a certain culture in their company; 2) CEOs that are trying to mobilise the organisation around a certain set of values and a certain vision; 3) HR leaders who are looking to drive change in the organisation; 4) parents who are looking to connect more with their children.

But specifically, this conversation is likely to be specifically relevant to four constituents. 1) Entrepreneurs that are trying to build a certain culture in their company; 2) CEOs that are trying to mobilise the organisation around a certain set of values and a certain vision; 3) HR leaders who are looking to drive change in the organisation; 4) parents who are looking to connect more with their children.

NUGGET CONTEXT Indranil talks about what it takes to build the habit of story-telling within an organization. He underscores the futility of one-off programmes that leave you with a high but don’t really move the needle when people come back to the rough and tumble of their daily life. He re-emphasizes the criticality of some sort of a deliberate practice programme for people to bake in the habit. GUEST Indranil Chakraborty runs StoryWorks, that helps organisations and leaders harness the power of stories to create and deliver impactful messages. He has spent two decades of experience leading teams and driving change at reputed firms such as Unilever, Tata Group and Mahindra & Mahindra. He is the author of the book "Stories at Work - Unlock the secret to Business Storytelling” published recently by Penguin Random House. In our conversation, we talk at length about some of the insights in the book. Indranil first demystifies the term “Business Storytelling” and distinguishes it from other forms of storytelling. We then discuss other elements including how one should listen to stories and collect them systematically, the different applications of storytelling, how story telling bridges the asymmetry that often exists due to the "curse of knowledge”, how one can build deeper relationships through stories, how we can bake in the story-telling habit in our life and more.

NUGGET CONTEXT Indranil talks about his challenges in transmitting some of the elements of the credo he had crafted as the head of Marketing and Strategy of his organization. He underscores the risks of abstraction when we craft values such as honesty, excellence, customer-delight etc. and adorn the walls. He takes the example of a story to illustrate the point “no room for ordinary” a value they were trying to live in his company. He goes on to share how he transitioned to the world of story-telling and reflects on some of his early lessons in solo-preneurship.

NUGGET CONTEXT Indranil distinguishes business story telling from Storytelling (that we see in Ramayana, Harry Potter or in movies). Indranil speaks about the fact that brevity and story-telling are not contradictory and it is often a false trade-off that people have in mind.

NUGGET CONTEXT Indranil talks about some of the common areas in the Corporate world where we could use stories – building rapport, influencing and getting strategies to stick. He also talks about the distinction between narrating a story versus sharing something that has the structure of a story. He goes on to say that for the purpose of business story-telling, it is often sufficient to focus on the science and process of story-telling than get bogged down by the art which can be overwhelming for a few.

NUGGET CONTEXT Indranil talks about the curse of knowledge using the example of “tappers and listeners” – an experiment conducted by Elizabeth Newton at Stanford University in 1990.

In a riveting and gruesome edition of After Hours AM/The Criminal Code Radio — with hosts Joel Sturgis, Eric Olsen, and forensic psychologist Dr. Clarissa Cole — we talk the unsolved Torso Murders from the ’30s and annals of Cleveland crime with documentary filmmaker Mark Wade Stone. We will talk with Mark Hour 2; in hour 1 Joel, Eric, and Clarissa will review the week’s True Crime news. Cleveland Torso Murders victim The Torso Murders, aka the Kingsbury Run Murders, terrorized Cleveland between 1935 and 1938. A serial killer murdered and dismembered at least 12 victims, only two of which were ever positively identified.

Bordered on the north by Woodland Avenue, and on the south by Broadway Avenue, Kingsbury Run was a dark, dreary and dangerous place in the 1930s. The dispossessed of the Great Depression lived in appalling conditions. Trash and filth dominating the makeshift “hobo jungle” that occupied much of the Run. These people, most of them transients, often rode the rails to escape the brutal Cleveland winters or simply to keep moving. The area just to the east of the Run was known as “The Roaring Third,” home to bars, brothels, flophouses and gambling dens. In this grim setting, the most notorious murder case in Cleveland’s history would begin to unfold. Mark Wade Stone Mark Wade Stone is an award-winning media producer who has created entertainment, documentary and educational programming for PBS television in St. Paul, Minnesota, and in Northeast Ohio for the last 35 years. As managing producer of StoryWorks.TV in Cleveland, Mark produces non-profit, commercial and industrial media for
