Alanna Shaikh is a global health systems expert. She delivered a TEDx talk barely 2 weeks ago which has been viewed almost seven million times already across its TED & YouTube sites. On the latter it is titled ‘Coronavirus is our future'. But as much as outlining why that is so, a legacy of the human-induced planetary degradation that has brought COVID-19 upon us, it's about how we can create a different future. How can we learn from the wake-up call of this outbreak, to create a more responsive and universal global health system? A system where, as Alanna puts it, equity is our social immune system. Bill Gates has written that such a health system will cost billions, and that'd be a bargain. The same can be said for the broader systems restoration project, where ecosystem restoration is key, and related systems of food, agriculture, economics, education and media all play vital roles. The coronavirus, and the future ones we're currently headed for, are notably symptomatic of the same patterns underlying biodiversity loss, economic volatility and climate disruption. “Coronavirus is our climate crisis at high speed”, Alanna says. So we've got a moment here, while doing our belated but inspired best to withstand our current crisis, where we can get at the roots of it all, and re-orient our societies towards a new and better normal.

ABOUT THE WE ARE ALL HOMELESS PROJECT The WE ARE ALL HOMELESS project began in 1993 due to the awkwardness I felt when I’d pull up to an intersection and encounter a person holding a sign, asking for help. Like many, I wrestled with whether or not I was doing good by giving them money. Mostly I struggled with my moral obligations, and how my own choices contributed in conscious or unconscious ways to the poverty I was witnessing. I struggled with the unfairness of the lives people are born into, the physical, mental and psychological handicaps. In my struggle, I avoided eye contact with those on the street, unwilling to really see them, and in doing so avoided seeing parts of myself. That began to change once I began asking them if they would sell their signs. My relationship to the homeless has been powerfully and permanently altered. The conversations and connections have left an indelible mark on my heart. I still wrestle with personal questions regarding generosity, goodness, compassion, and guilt. And what it means to be homeless: practically, spiritually, emotionally? Is home a physical place, a building, a structure, a house? Or is it a state of being, a sense of safety, of being provided for, of identity? I see these signs as signposts of my own journey, inward and outward, of reconciling my own life with my judgments about those experiencing homelessness. weareallhomeless.org

One of the strongest women I know and one who is renowned throughout the indie music community as "Aoede The Muse," is the award-winning pop-folk singer, songwriter, artist, playwright, and author, Lisa Sniderman. She has recently released her memoir of creating music, plays, performances in face of a debilitating disease and it is a must read for anybody in the music or creative communities. She joins us to talk about A Light in the Darkness this week.  In it she discusses the Gift in the Curse. The curse is her disease, a debilitataing condition that she lives with every day;  the Gift is that because of her experience,  she can feel compelled to share, connect with and inspire others and offer a path towards healing and hope despite hardship and struggles. As long as I have known her, she has been a source of joy, creativity, and strength - no wonder she has won so many music awards! Maybe next is a book award?.  Trevor Douglas is a singer, songwriter and musician from Fort Worth, Texas.  A finalist on American Idol and Dallas winner of Hard Rock Rising 2017, he has opened for the Jonas Brothers, sang at  The Dallas International Film Festival,  and played The State Fair of Texas.  Texas even awarded him "The Most Entertaining Singer" in The Texas Top Ten competition, solidifying him as a musician to watch in the region. Trevor was also invited to give a TED Talk for TEDxSMU titled “Creativity: What Makes Us Different”.  As a songwriter, he gravitates towards a subtle pop style, sensitive lyrics, sweeping melodies, and hooky choruses, using his guitar as both an acoustic and percussive instrument, creating live backing tracks and vocal harmonies with his loop pedal.

Chances are you've been there, watching someone else get the promotion or the study abroad opportunity or the picture with Jay Leno that you really wanted, but didn't have the courage to ask. Perhaps you don't want to be seen as greedy or aggressive… But the truth is that making the big ask builds relationships and establishes trust. Today's guest is ready to help you ‘get your ask in gear' and make those outrageous requests. Linda Swindling is a ‘recovering' employment attorney who spent more than a decade honing her skills in negotiation, mediation and dispute resolution before founding the executive development company Journey On in 2000. She has spent the last 17 years working with business professionals to create better working relationships. A recognized expert in negotiation and strategic consulting, Swindling has worked with prominent organizations such as MetLife, the American Heart Association, and the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. A Board-Certified Coach as well as a Certified Speaking Professional, Swindling often serves as a keynote speaker and breakout presenter at regional and international conferences. She brought her expertise to the TEDxSMU stage, where she shared the principles of her latest book, Ask Outrageously: The Secret to Getting What You Really Want. Today she explains how to practice the big ask, the best approach to negotiating a raise, and how to deal with being seen as ‘aggressive.' Learn to get into the habit of asking, even when you are afraid, and start capitalizing on opportunities to get what you want.   Key Interview Takeaways Listen to what people say you do well and capitalize on it. It took 22 years of feedback for Swindling to realize that teaching people to ‘ask outrageously' was her talent. Get into the habit of asking. Practice negotiation at garage sales and flea markets. You'll be surprised how often it works! Determine who is the decision-maker. Go into a situation (e.g.: at the department store) seeking out the person who can say ‘yes.' If you're not hearing ‘no,' you're not asking for enough. When you are told, ‘No, I really can't do that,' ask one more time. Practice until you are bullet proof to the word ‘no.' When asking for a raise, talk about what you bring to the table moving forward. Rather than listing past accomplishments, explain the value you provide now and how you will continue to generate revenue and make the boss look good. If you are labeled as ‘aggressive' for making the big ask, rephrase the comment. ‘Did it sound aggressive, or did it sound like leadership?' We sabotage ourselves when we don't use the right language. Speak your strengths. Remind your colleagues – out loud – about the skills you bring to the table and the role you play in the organization. Ask for forgiveness rather than permission. If you feel you must clear you actions with a supervisor, articulate your plan and ask if you're missing anything. Courageous people feel the fear, but ask anyway. 33% of people who want something big but don't ask for it watch their opportunity go to someone else, so work through your fear and go for it!

(http://www.advanceyourart.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/wbpic.jpeg) Creativity is like washing a pig. It’s messy. It has no rules. No clear beginning, middle or end.
