As a leader and a business owner, reputation is your lifeblood. Trust is the social currency of today's digital-first world, and it's in short supply! Which is good news if you're a credible mission-driven entrepreneur or professional, someone who has the runs on the board and who is seen, not as someone with something to sell, but as someone with something to teach. But you need to be intentional about it! As we talk about here often on the podcast, there are many variables involved in building a genuine thought leader brand in the marketplace. Let's be clear: People don't want to be sold something—they want to buy something. And the best way to get someone to seek out the opportunity to buy from you is to position yourself as the unquestionable authority in your space—someone they would be lucky to have a chance to do business with. This is what PR agency owner RUSTY SHELTON calls the authority advantage! Rusty is a Senior Marketing Strategist at Forbes Books, bestselling author and successful entrepreneur. He's the founder and chairman of Zilker Media, an award-winning agency based in Austin, Texas that builds people-driven brands.  As a speaker, Rusty uses humour and targeted examples to challenge assumptions about thought leadership, showing leaders how to build authentic personal brands focused on impact, not ego. He has written three books and spoken around the world to a variety of audiences, from YPO to Harvard Medical to SXSW Interactive. Rusty's newest book, The Authority Advantage: Building Thought Leadership Focused on Impact, Not Ego (ForbesBooks, 2023), which is co-authored with Adam Witty and features a foreword from David Meerman Scott, demonstrates how leaders can make an impact with their personal brand and build trust in an increasingly skeptical world.

"Love your pricing.Love your work.Love your clients.Love yourself.Repeat."The words above Rachel shared with me when we first met. It was so refreshing because very seldom will people put something like love in the same sentence as pricing. I was also fascinated to hear more of what she had to say.Pricing can feel like a very cold and calculated topic (no pun intended). But it has its softer sides - it's linked to things like self-love, creativity and psychology. And while what you charge should be related to the value your service, software or product delivers, there's no denying that what you choose to charge is often driven by your own relationship with money and how you perceive yourself.

Kids (teenagers!) are so hard to understand, right? That's because they are part of their own culture; it's called Youth Culture. And unfortunately, most schools don't teach with their culture in mind. Instead, schools are focused on traditional (adult-perspective) teaching methods. Methods that don't work. Imagine schools that not only teach in ways that engages students but that also helps our youth learn true real-world skills that they can take with them into their post-secondary lives. Sound like fiction? It's not. This week's guest, Jamel Mims, is spearheading a movement to implement culturally responsive programming in high schools. This means he's helping schools and students leverage the teens' innate ability to teach themselves with the tools available to them (um...the internet) and creating classrooms that allow them to thrive. This is the direction education needs to go, and you can do it in your schools, too!   About Jamel Mims: Jamel Mims is a bilingual rapper, interactive media artist, and edtech cofounder with over a decade of experience implementing culturally responsive programming in high schools across New York City. A Fulbright Scholar who studied hip hop culture in China, his work is firmly rooted in centering youth culture in academic spaces, and ranges from developing curriculum that uses original hip hop music to teach test prep, creating virtual reality and mixed reality experiences, public demonstrations and social justice campaigns.  An emerging leader in the field of culturally responsive pedagogy, he has presented at New York Tech Meetup, Google for Education, SXSW Edu and SXSW Interactive. His work in music, technology, education and activism has been featured in the  New York Times,  The Nation, VICE, Complex, the Economist and more.

In this episode, Maria and Elisa discuss:How to have constructive political debates and conversations with people that you don't agree with.The challenges of and the responsibilities in the media to balance debate, opinion, and civil discourse. How to get involved and stay informed no matter what the outcome of the election.  Key Takeaways:Speak for yourself. You cannot possibly speak for anybody else! Not every private thought has to become public expression. Every website is responsible for the community that they develop on that site. You are the one who sets the tone. You set it with your behavior. You set it by having actual guidelines, Terms of Service, and then enforcing them. You are free to say what you want, but you are not free from the consequences of what you say. The more we can stick to the facts, listen, and try to find common ground, the better chance you will have where both parties walk away, maybe still set in their ways, but at least it can be a civil conversation.We are hampered by very different realities depending on the media consumed.  "People coalesce around a leader who dares to speak their truth and who they want to hear that from. No matter what your beliefs are, you can find your own community." —  Elisa Camahort Page About Elisa Camahort Page: Elisa Camahort Page was the Founding COO of BlogHer, Inc.

On today's episode, Tom is talking with Tess Posner, Executive Director at Al4ALL — a new Oakland nonprofit that is introducing artificial intelligence to high school students — and, more specifically — girls. The goal is to help high school students learn to use AI for good and to increase diversity and inclusion in computer science.   AI4ALL is really aligned to one of the recommendations from Getting Smart's December report, “Ask About AI,” which focused on the future of work and learning. In the report, Tom called for connecting experts and high school students to close the guidance gap and help more people use AI for good. AI4ALL is a great example of the solution Tom was envisioning — and as he says, he's nearly “doing jumping jacks” out of excitement for this conversation!   Listen in to hear more about Tess and the work she's doing at AI4ALL, how her interest in AI and computer science formed, how she connected with Samasource and AI4ALL, her take on integrating new tech and AI into schools, and her current mission and goals for AI4ALL.   Key Takeaways: [1:47] In 2015, Tom started noticing the rise of AI and made it his personal study topic for 2016. He reads some excerpts from his “Ask About AI” paper and how he discovered AI4ALL. [5:47] Where Tess went to high school and how that helped give her an interest in the education field. [6:43] Why Tess studied math at St. John's College. [8:27] What sparked Tess' interest in social entrepreneurship. [10:26] The importance of traveling as a learning experience. [10:52] How Tess came about connecting with Samasource. [12:44] How Tess' interest in AI formed. [15:32] When and how Tess spotted the guidance gap in STEM careers (including AI). [18:11] The founding story of AI4ALL and what the alumni have gone on to accomplish. [20:55] How Tess sees AI4ALL's mission today. [22:00] About AI4ALL's current focus: After-school and summer camp programs. [23:03] What's on AI4ALL's roadmap. [24:16] The challenge of educating teachers on AI and integrating new tech into schools. [27:15] Tess's take on the current ‘coding for all' trend. [29:25] Where to find out more about Tess and AI4ALL. [29:46] About Tess's SXSWedu panel and SXSW Interactive panel.   Mentioned in This Episode: If you'll be at SXSWedu, tweet the team @Getting_Smart and use #SXSWedu, or email Jessica at Jessica@Gettingsmart.com to set up a time to meet!   SXSWedu Events: Join Tom on Tuesday for a meetup on The Rise of AI & What It Means for Education.
