In this episode, Jamie Purinton chats with Tim and Jean about some of the finer points of being a landscape architect. A landscape architect is more than a designer. To be a licensed RLA (registered landscape architect), there is an intense educational requirement followed by a lengthy internship, and culminating a three-day exam! This is because the landscape architect must be expert in engineering aspects of structures, grading, drainage and topology as well as all the design skills and plant expertise found in a landscape designer. In fact, she considers the plants to be “icing on the cake.” As you might expect, the size of the projects she is involved in can be pretty big. And so can the size of the issues she must address. Public health and environment must be considered, as well as future consequences of climate change. She has worked on many public gardens and waterfront projects, and closer to home, the Mountain Top Arboretum.  The Mountain Top projects spanned several years and included work with partnerships with many of our former guests on the podcast (episode list below). Some of her favorite projects included building a bird-attracting garden and an amphitheater, with a prevailing emphasis on native plants. She states that of the many facets of her job, she has no particular favorite because it is the “pulling it together” that gives her the most satisfaction. She advises her clients to step away from a rush to manipulate the landscape, and observe what is already there. She says the High Line in New York City is an influence on many people,. There is growing appreciation of habitat among her clients, even to the point where she is planning to shift her work emphasis from larger “public” projects to individuals. Her two books express her philosophy well. “The Voices of the Land” is a collection of essays, and “Landscape Narratives: Design Practices for Telling Stories,” with M. Poettinger. The latter has become a respected textbook. So if you're curious about how large scale projects can be carried out with minimal intrusion to the environment and ecology, join Tim and Jean and listen in to this episode.

One of the things that I am starting to notice more and more is the difference between “getting older” and “feeling older.” Getting older is something that is unavoidable as long as we're alive. But I find feeling older comes in waves. I am finding that seeing another child graduate high school is another moment in which I am impacted by feeling older. My daughter Hailey has reached the end of her high school years, which is more bittersweet than my first daughter. This is because Hailey was born with particular challenges that made every year uncertain. The NICU doctor told us “to enjoy the time you have with her.” Turns out that we are 18 years and counting. With her challenges, college is not an option. But given that we live in a state with good services, she moves onto something called Transitions, which is a program from 18-22 to help develop life skills, job skills, and job placement. As with any graduate, it is an exciting time and a scary time not knowing how her story will unfold. Then again, Hailey's story has always been filled with a lot of uncertainties, also like any of ours. Every step along the way, she has authored a version of herself that is authentically and uniquely her. As much as we would all like to say the same, I really don't know how many of us can. The freedom of self expression through which one can shine their own light can be a proposition much scarier than what might happen after graduation.The story of your life that you are going to write and tell is in large part up to you. Ideally, I think, we would like our story to be written in our voice because it is one that we are writing for ourselves. This isn't always possible given that our stories are invariably impacted by any number of factors beyond our control. To be able to tell our stories on our terms is a gift. My guest on Experience by Design knows all about telling stories, and also about the importance of marking time. Michael Drew has spent a career helping people get their stories to a wider audience. A key point that he shares is that we need to find ways of connecting our authentic voice and passion to a broader audience. Michael sees his work as part of a larger purpose, which is being here in service to other people. This process involves building relationships, translating brilliance into actionable insights, and framing ideas in ways that speak to the needs of your audience. Michael has represented many many best selling authors, so he definitely knows about which he speaks. We also talk about his other work on the forty-year cycle of history, which is a fascinating topic to explore. It turns out that everything old is in fact new again. These cycles move from “Me” to  “We” extremes, which reflects the larger social zeitgeist. Understanding this cycle can explain much of the moments we find ourselves in, and what it means for us individually and as a society. Was a fascinating chat that ranged across many different areas, but all tied together by a focus on telling our story, understanding the broader moment we are in, living to our purpose through service, and crafting a brand that you can believe in.And congrats again to Hailey who lives the most authentically of any one I know, and continues to write her own story.Michael Drew LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelrdrewBook Retreat Publishing Services https://bookretreat.com/“Pendulum: How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15842812-pendulum

“God found me at my worst possible time…..cause He loves [doing] that.” James Fry is living proof that our past doesn't have to define us. Though he's walked many dark valleys, James has become a light for others, eagerly pointing them to a relationship with God. And as a Professional Driver and Road Captain for Nussbaum, he's helping new drivers find their way….he knows what it's like to feel lost. At less than two years old, Child Protective Services found James and his twin brother at home—alone—and terribly sick. After months in the hospital, they entered foster care, and didn't meet their biological father until years later—a painful day that James will never forget. Fast forward to his 20s, and James was at an all-time low. Nothing he tried seemed to work, and he found himself struggling with alcoholism and still bearing the pain of his father's rejection. That's when a kind neighbor invited him to church…… Don't miss this special episode of Terminal Exchange—press play today!

Join Matthew Dicks and me for a conversation about storytelling. Matthew is a renowned author and storyteller competitor from the Moth storytelling events. The “First, Last, Best, Worst” storytelling exercise stood out as a powerful, practical tool for leaders to mine their own experiences for stories that engage and influence. By prompting reflection across different emotional anchors, it helps leaders build a bank of authentic, memorable narratives that resonate far more deeply than data or directives alone. You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems. Highlights from the interview 1. Storytelling as a Leadership Skill  Karl explains that the focus of the podcast is on leadership, systems, and storytelling. He notes that leaders need to do a better job of telling stories to engage their audience. Matthew agrees, emphasizing the importance of leaders developing stories that can draw people in and convey their message effectively. 2. The "First, Last, Best, Worst" Storytelling Exercise He shares a technique called "first, last, best, worst" that helps people excavate stories from their past. By creating a grid to capture the first, last, best, and worst experiences related to different topics, it prompts people to uncover meaningful stories they may have forgotten. Matthew explains how this exercise can help leaders build a repertoire of stories to use in their work. 3. The Power of Stories to Connect and Influence We discuss the psychological and neurological reasons why stories are so powerful for communication and influence. Stories can change brain chemistry, foster connection, and help people remember information better than facts or data alone. Matthew emphasizes that as leaders, telling stories should be a core part of how they engage and motivate their teams. 4. Telling Stories with Empathy and Avoiding Content Matching He shares strategies for telling stories that resonate, such as listening closely to understand the underlying meaning and feelings behind someone else's story, and then responding with an empathetic story of your own that connects on an emotional level rather than just matching the content. He explains how this approach can help build trust and rapport as a leader. 5. A Personal Story Demonstrating Growth and Perspective Shift He shares a story from his own life about writing a letter to Steven Spielberg as a child, critiquing a scene in the movie E.T. He reflects on how this early experience sparked his interest in storytelling and his tendency to analyze stories for what works and what doesn't. The story illustrates Matthew's lifelong fascination with stories and how they can shape our perspectives. 6. Final Thoughts We wrap up the discussion, with Karl noting how the storytelling techniques Matthew shared could be applied in both professional and personal contexts, such as with his own teenage son. Matthew reiterates the importance of leaders strategically choosing when and how to share stories to build trust and connection with their teams.

I sat down with Nicole Robertson, a journalist and founder of Muskwa Productions, to talk about where her voice comes from and how she's used it to tell hard stories for nearly 30 years.With Cree and Scottish roots, she spoke about growing up between cultures and the early experiences that shaped her sense of identity.

Oh, to be kids again. Jerrid Knight and James Grier have fond memories of boxing matches, wrestling tournaments, snowball fights—the wholesome fun that brothers enjoy. They also remember broken bones, when James made Jerrid pass out, and trading away a Mickey Mantle baseball card by accident. Live and learn, right? After high school, both brothers joined the military—an experience they credit with instilling the character and discipline that helped them get where they are today. But most of all, they credit God for ordaining a path that challenged them to grow…..and eventually, brought them to Nussbaum Transportation. Today's exchange is packed with stories, from Jerrid playing the Wicked Witch of the West in 4th grade, to James deploying overseas as a newly married Marine. With warmth and candor, our guests remind us that every experience—no matter how challenging—can be a steppingstone in God's ultimate plan. Press play and enjoy!

In this episode of Words on a Wire, host Daniel Chacón sits down with veteran journalist Robert Moore, founder and CEO of El Paso Matters, a nonprofit newsroom dedicated to high-impact local reporting. Together, they trace Moore's career from writing obituaries at a small-town paper to leading one of the most respected independent news organizations on the U.S.–Mexico border.Moore shares why he walked away from his role as editor of the El Paso Times, how the 2019 Walmart mass shooting and COVID-19 pandemic shaped his newsroom's mission, and why storytelling—especially in underserved communities—is central to democracy. The conversation touches on the challenges facing journalism today, from financial instability to political pressure, and the role of local news in countering misinformation and holding power to account.

I encourage you to think about telling more stories — to entice people to read your books, to interact with you on social media, or to become an advocate for you.The more stories you tell, the more listeners will become involved in what you have to teach and what you have to share.All good stories are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished listening to one, you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places, and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a storyteller. — Ernest Hemingway, novelistAnd if you are a storyteller, then you really are somebody that people will pay attention to, that people will listen to.Comment on this storytelling episode and receive a free copy of my new book, Write a Bestseller in 30 Days or Less 111 Books You Can Write Fast — With Examples!Website: https://www.bookauthorauthority.comWebsite: https://www.bookmarketingbestsellers.comBook Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

Salesforce recently surveyed 7,000 B2B professionals, and the results are clear: buyers prioritize value. A significant 76% aim to maximize the return on every purchase, and 78% are being more careful with spending than before.In this environment, how can sellers stand out and win deals? One powerful way is by becoming a better storyteller. This episode dives into why storytelling is so important in today's sales landscape and offers practical advice on how to use it to close your next deal.The Power of Storytelling in SalesWhen you hear "storytelling," you might picture something from a book. But in sales, it's about crafting a narrative that draws buyers in. Think of it this way:The Buyer as the Hero: They're on a journey to achieve their goals.The Problem as the Villain: Something is blocking their path – maybe it's a lack of time, confusing regulations, or overwhelming complexity.You as the Guide:As a sales professional, you're there to help them conquer that villain with your solution.Effective sales storytelling positions you as a trusted guide, helping the buyer see how they can overcome their challenges and achieve their objectives – becoming the hero of their own story. And don't worry, your "story" doesn't have to be a long, drawn-out saga. Sometimes, a well-crafted illustration is all it takes to paint a picture and help a potential client understand their problem and your solution.How Storytelling Can Help You Close More DealsBusinesses are now incredibly strategic about their spending. Think of it like this: if you were trying to sell me a pen, and I said I'm determined to use my current one until it's completely dry before buying another, that's the kind of thinking businesses have right now. The economy has made them very cautious about spending money unless it's absolutely essential.And it's the same for consumers. No matter how much product knowledge we throw their way, if they're not willing to spend, it won't make a difference.What will make a difference is learning how to connect with them on an emotional level. People are driven by their emotions, and if we keep focusing solely on logic, we'll struggle to close deals.In the episode, I share a simple storytelling example about someone with a flat tire. It shows how creating a relatable scenario can connect with a prospect emotionally and close a deal. How to Become a More Engaging StorytellerInstead of listing what your solution does, paint a picture of what life will be like after using it. Think about it – people connect with visions of success and relief, not just a list of features. To become a better storyteller, focus on helping people see their own challenges clearly. Don't just mention a problem; describe the frustrating situation they're likely experiencing. Make them think, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm dealing with!"People aren't looking for a sales pitch; they're looking for someone who can guide them through their difficulties. Show them you understand their business and the obstacles they face, and you'll become a much more compelling storyteller."Don't just say you understand a business and their challenges; demonstrate it. Storytelling is the key to showing them you truly grasp the issues they're facing." - Donald Kelly. ResourcesTo further enhance your storytelling skills, I recommend Donald Miller's "Building a StoryBrand 2.0."Consider

“I was just a lost, hurt soul….trying to find my way, and I just couldn't.” That's how Teresa describes the lowest moment of her life—homeless and hopeless as a single mom, bouncing from shelter to shelter, even fighting a legal battle for her son. But the seed of faith—planted years before by her grandfather—carried her through the storm. “The only thing I knew to do was pray…..I knew that He was there…..God never leaves you,” Teresa says. And just at the right moment, she got the chance to attend CDL School on a full-ride grant—the first step towards a new life. The past few years have been a journey, but Teresa points to God's faithfulness again and again.

There are many reasons healthcare professionals write: to process trauma, build empathy, or simply because stories demand to be told. This week we've got a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Carol Scott-Conner, a surgeon, poet, and editor of The Examined Life Journal; Katie Runde, a novelist exploring themes of love and loss; Jeff Goddard, an M3 medical student and soon-to-be-published author; and Linda Peng, a sci-fi writer and Bowman Prize-winning author. They discuss the challenges of writing about real patients while maintaining ethical boundaries, the impact of narrative medicine on medical education, and why residency often leaves little time for self-reflection even though that's where it can be most helpful. Plus, they break down the blurred line between fiction and lived experience in writing and whether good storytelling requires personal experience. No matter why doctors, patients, and medical students write, it's a powerful tool that can sooth some of healthcare's most difficult problems where the participants' humanity and the system come together.

To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Full Episode Description:  In times of crisis, people need their questions answered, fast. As residents impacted by the recent Los Angeles fires return to their homes, are they receiving enough information about insurance and recovery dollars, or how to protect their health and wellbeing? At the time of this recording, the Pacific Palisades and the Eaton fires are still burning, with toxic air and water putting thousands at risk. On top of the immediate dangers, the loss of community and the threat of developers and gentrification will impact residents for years to come. How are the media reporting on communities dealing with this immeasurable loss and what is the path to recovery for the city?

Jacqueline García is a Senior Reporter at CALÓ News, focused on immigration, politics and issues affecting the Latino population. She is covering inspiring organizing among day laborers and immigrants. We'll also see an excerpt from Castle's most recent report for Capital & Main. Join us to hear what local BIPOC reporters want outside media to hear, as they respond to the Los Angeles fires.“. . . I am glad to see that there has been a course correction by both local and national media to bring these stories to the forefront, not just talking about high-income earners in the Palisades that have lost million-dollar homes, but talking about the babysitters, the grocery shopkeepers, the renters that were living in apartments that lost everything in the Eaton fire.” - Cerise Castle“. . .

Stories are what make the world go ‘round.

Donald Miller is an expert storyteller and an expert and helping other people articulate and share theirs. Today, we talk about why humans are so interested in storytelling, what foundational elements make a good story, the importance of a “story loop,” to get other to buy-in to what you're sharing by making them part of the story. Whether you're a marketing professional or just want to help your son deal with his first bully at school, this podcast is for you.

SummaryIsco Spirits is not your typical distillery. Founded by Manya Rubenstein and located in an old steel mill in Providence, Rhode Island, Isco stands as the city's first distillery since Prohibition. With deep ties to the local artisan community and a commitment to sustainable practices, Isco produces a range of unique, handcrafted spirits. Their products, like Structural Vodka and Blue Velvet Bourbon, aren't just drinks—they're stories in a bottle. By incorporating elements of regenerative farming and coastal inspiration, Isco creates products that reflect the history and natural beauty of Rhode Island, blending creativity, craftsmanship, and eco-consciousness into every sip.Manya's entrepreneurial journey is a masterclass in adaptability. Opening the distillery in March 2020, right as the world was shutting down due to the pandemic, required bold pivots and quick thinking. Originally designed to welcome guests into a tasting room experience, Isco quickly shifted to making hand sanitizer and engaging with customers through direct sales. From that challenging beginning, Isco evolved into a brand known for its imaginative offerings like Ostrata, a vodka distilled with oysters, and Sea Flow gin, which incorporates seaweed as a key ingredient. These products are inspired by Rhode Island's coastal heritage and highlight Manya's goal of using spirits as a medium for storytelling.At the heart of Isco is a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community. From supporting local farms and reusing spent grains to crafting spirits that honor the ocean, Isco's approach extends far beyond production. Their “Night of Cheer” holiday event showcases their passion for giving back, collecting donations for local causes while bringing people together for a festive experience. With plans for expanded distribution and new products on the horizon, Manya's vision remains clear: create exceptional, thoughtful spirits that spark connection, tell stories, and celebrate the place they call home. TakeawaysResilience Sparks Innovation: Isco's ability to pivot during the 2020 pandemic shows how entrepreneurs can turn adversity into opportunity, finding creative ways to stay relevant and connected with their audience.Sustainability Creates a Competitive Edge: By focusing on regenerative farming, eco-friendly production, and coastal conservation, Isco isn't just making spirits—they're building a movement. Their use of oysters, seaweed, and farm-grown grains differentiates them in the competitive distilling industry.Storytelling as a Brand Strategy: Isco Spirits tells a larger story through its products, branding, and community events like "Night of Cheer." By weaving local history, environmental awareness, and artistry into each spirit, Isco builds a deeper emotional connection with consumers.

I am the founder of The Elliott Group with my wife Jacqueline Elliott who is our CEO. Today, we have a 150 million dollar business, and we're on our way to a billion. If you don't believe you are qualified to have a big life...here is my story. At 18, I got into automotive sales and made a $1,700 commission on my first day. 19 years old, I made 225k in one year. 20 years old, I made my first 500k. The most I ever made before being promoted to a General Manager was 716k selling cars as a W-2 employee. As a GM, the most I made was 2.5 million in one year. In 2019 after 20+ years in the car business, my wife Jacqueline told me she learned to live without me and I decided I was built for more, was tired of settling and being "better than most" in all areas of life. God. Family. Physical. Mental. Business. I went PSYCHO in self development and totally re-created EVERYTHING in my life. Today, I live by example in everything that I do and my number one goal is to build the world's greatest leaders on planet Earth, and teach everyone how to sell, influence, and persuade, because NO money is ever made without sales. I see people everyday that have no idea what true potential is…well I do…And it's UNLIMITED! I am living proof of that! Imagine what your life would look like if you never had to worry about money again and your family was in a such a good place that if something ever happened to you they were taken care of because of the success you achieved and the person you became. If you want to make history and become a legend coaching with me, will make that happen guaranteed! I got your back for life, Andy Elliott
