1053. If you've ever hesitated between ‘toe the line' and ‘tow the line,' this episode is for you. We look at the phrase's history to clear up the confusion. Then, we look at metonymy and synecdoche — powerful literary devices that can make your writing more compelling. The metonymy segment was written by Jim Norrena, MFA, who has been writing and editing professionally for more than 35 years in the publishing and academic industries within the Bay Area. After earning his MFA in Writing and a UC Berkeley Extension certification in copyediting, he founded TypoSuction.com, an independent writing and editing service. Additionally, he has taught grammar and copyediting intensives and professional proofreading workshops at Media Alliance and served as events coordinator for Bay Area Editors' Forum (BAEF). 

Holistic means looking at ourselves in a way that includes our entire being, taking each part of ourselves into consideration. When we stop measuring ourselves by how we look, how thin we are, or how much weight we've lost, we can begin to embrace all the physical, emotional and spiritual parts of ourselves. We move beyond the goals of having a certain body type and into the integrity and magic of the recovery process itself. Sheira Kahn is a Marriage and Family Therapist and fully recovered bulimic. She holds degrees from UC Berkeley and the California Institute of Integral Studies. Ms. Kahn taught in the UC Berkeley Extension certificate program in Eating and Weight Disorders for ten years. In the 1990s, she studied inner critic disengagement with Byron Brown and natural eating with Judy Wardell. These discourses became the pillars of her method on ending disordered eating. Later, she trained in couples counseling, where the research on attachment provided the final pieces to the puzzle of understanding disordered eating and how to heal it. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In this episode, Lisa and Jyoti discuss:Strategies for applying to Computer Science Majors and related STEM majors.STEM majors that are alternatives to computer science that may be a better fit for your teen. The importance of demonstrating intellectual curiosity, problem-solving skills, and community impact in college applications.The differences between Mathophile, Discoveror, Innovator, and Implementor in their careerKey Takeaways: Most students who say they want to major in computer science do not understand what the major actually entails. For STEM fields, admissions officers are looking for intellectual curiosity and problem-solving skills. Passion projects can help your student to demonstrate this during their admissions process. When applying to Computer Science, those students who are looking at CS in interdisciplinary ways, such as within the fields of finance or health care, stand out from other applicants.The engineering technology curriculum has a hands-on component, and the math level is lower than that of an engineering curriculum.  “For STEM fields - engineering fields, computer science - the admissions officers looking for that intellectual curiosity and those problem-solving skills. I would say a student needs to really start exploring early on and look for those interdisciplinary research projects are based on their interests.” – Jyoti JainAbout Jyoti Jain: Jyoti has a Master's in Chemistry from Baylor University and an MBA in Hospitality and Marketing from Golden Gate University. She is an active member of Western Association of College Admissions Counseling (WACAC) and professional member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA). She found her passion for college counseling while helping her own child through the college admissions process and decided to pursue a certificate in Career Planning and College Counseling from UC Berkeley Extension. Through extensive research and college visits, Jyoti has developed a deep understanding of a college's culture, educational philosophy, and academic programs specializing in STEM, Business, and Premed tracks. She believes that college is all about fit and is excited about working with students to find their best match.

This episode, we're turning our attention to the deskless worker—those who work in manufacturing, front-line support, health care and so many other areas. Their job does not require them to be at a desk or in a traditional office setting. They're on the go, in the field, working in environments that demand mobility and flexibility. How do we accelerate the learning and upskilling of the deskless worker? Is it through AI, advanced communications, introduction to new opportunities? How do we incorporate more inclusion for this majority group of workers? Learn more about UC Berkeley Extension @https://bit.ly/458bo3e Read this episode's transcript @https://bit.ly/454D4pn

Demand for mental health benefits has grown. In a 2023 NPR article, psychologists say they can't meet the growing demand for mental health care—whether it's not having enough open positions or three-month-long waitlists. There is a growing market for apps to fill the gaps, as well as platforms that connect people with licensed therapists or a number of AI-powered solutions that emulate a therapist. All this has an impact on workers and the workplace. And as we heard from Daniel Zhao at GlassDoor in our earlier episode, newer generations of employees are expecting employers to address these needs with benefits. Let's talk about what employees are seeking from companies and how companies are responding.

Job listings mentioning AI have doubled on LinkedIn, and demand for AI skills is appearing across a wide range of industries and sectors. Job seekers are jumping on the bandwagon and adding AI skills to their resumes. But what does this mean? What are employers looking for, where can you learn these skills, and how do you talk about (and use!) AI in meaningful ways.  We turn to Dr.Michael Wu, who is a leading authority on artificial intelligence and behavioral economics. He's currently the Chief AI Strategist at PROS, an AI-powered software solution provider, and was recently appointed as Senior Data Science Research Fellow at the Ecole des Ponts Business School.

With the advent of generative AI and large language models and chatbots, we need to take a look at the skills you will need, the jobs that are impacted and the opportunity to increase productivity—not only for yourself, but for an organization as a whole. With AI evolving at lightning speed, are we quickly entering the age of adopt or perish? To take a deeper dive, we have invited Chalenge Masekera to join us.

This month, we're taking a look at collaborative intelligence. Collaboration is essential but often times invisible. It can either contribute to the success or lead to the downfall of a project. We collaborate in a number ways, using a number of different tools and in different places, but do we really understand how to collaborate effectively? What is the difference between collaboration and coordination? How does can collaboration inspire innovation? When does collaboration become overkill and lead to employee fatigue? What can individuals and leaders do to cultivate a collaboration community? To answer these many questions, we turn to Rebecca Hinds. Rebecca is the Head of The Work Innovation Lab by Asana, a first-of-its-kind think tank that conducts actionable research to assist businesses in adapting to the ever-changing challenges of work, both today and in the future.

This month, we're taking a look at the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that essentially struck down four-and-a-half decades of legal precedent that allowed higher-education institutions to consider race as one of the many factors in their admissions evaluations. While California has been grappling with this challenge since Prop 209 passed in 1996, now across the nation universities are seeking new ways to define college admissions that will help level an uneven playing field. Beyond admissions, we have questions about the domino effect this ruling will have not only on the makeup of incoming university students, but also the pipeline of college graduates entering  the workforce, the ripple effects on DEI in hiring and the makeup of that workforce.  We turn to Dr. Monica Cox to help us unravel what this ruling means for our Future of Work.

This month, we continue our conversation on Artificial Intelligence and how it might change your job and create wholly new jobs. ChatGPT, a generative AI chat bot from OpenAI, and Bard from Google are changing how we see AI's role in how we do our jobs. From drafting speeches to writing and debugging code, AI can remove some of the grunt work. But as Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO, said to Congress, "AI is a tool. It's not a creature." AI can help with tasks, but not jobs. So if AI could replace many tasks but could also lead to much better jobs, how should we be thinking about AI in our own careers? What do we need to be wary of? And what should we embrace to leverage the power of AI?   Read the transcript @https://bit.ly/43DscfY   Learn more about UC Berkeley Extension @https://bit.ly/3KaJMku

Artificial Intelligence is being integrated into curriculums and the upcoming academic year will be the first full school year since Chat GPT, the generative AI chatbot burst on the scene in early 2023.

Patricia's Bio:In 2009 I founded Game Theory Academy, a nonprofit that teaches financial skills to teenagers through the lens of strategic decision-making. My favorite part of that work has been guiding young people to set their own goals outside of what their grownups want for them and then align their day-to-day decisions with those goals. I bring that same strategic curiosity to financial planning. Prior to Game Theory Academy, I was CFO of a news media organization, Pacific News Service/New America Media. I hold an MBA from Yale and a BA in Political Science from UC Berkeley. I hold a Series 65 securities license and completed the certificate in Personal Financial Planning at UC Berkeley Extension. I have a lifelong interest in economics and am excited to do the heavy lifting of financial planning so people can focus on what they love to do. When I'm not creating financial plans, I'm the mother of a child with avid and ever-changing interests, and I love to play guitar and sing bluegrass, roots, and old-time music, with a pop twist.Social:https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricia-johnson-96b9757/Music in this episode was obtained from Bensound.

This month, we're taking a look at Artificial Intelligence and how it is changing the way we educate and the way we work. When we first started hearing about AI, there was a lot of conversation about automation, job displacement and up-skilling. Then this year, ChatGPT set the record for the fastest-growing user base with more than 100 million users as of February 2023. AI is changing how we think about teaching, what we are teaching and how we assess learning. Governments are asking how we maximize the good that can come of artificial intelligence, but minimize the bad. From a full embracing of the technology to having a healthy level of skepticism, how will you adapt to the power of AI?    Read the transcript @https://bit.ly/3JRkvMh   Learn more about UC Berkeley Extension @https://bit.ly/3qXkn7h

A few episodes back, we talked about hybrid work and the growing strength that employees have in shaping the how and when of their work. This month, we're putting a spotlight on a trend that is picking up steam—the idea of a four-day work week. This experimentation is revealing pros and cons when implemented in countries such as Japan, Spain, the UK and South Africa. While a four-day work week may help boost employee productivity and mental health, not every worker can participate. So who chooses the when and how to introduce a four-day work week?  To answer this question, we turn to Stela Lupushor, a thought leader, speaker, educator and futurist who is on a mission to humanize the workplace. She advises startups, venture funds and mature enterprises on the use of design thinking, technology, analytics and future thinking to create inclusive workplaces. Stela teaches at NYU, imparting her knowledge on to the next generation of HR leaders. Previously, Stela transformed workplace practices at the intersection of technology, analytics and HR at organizations such as Fidelity Investments, TIAA, IBM, Price Waterhouse and PwC Consulting and their clients. She is the co-author of "Humanizing Human Capital: Invest In Your People for Optimal Business Returns” and "Humans At Work: The Art and Practice of Creating the Hybrid Workplace.”   Read the transcript @https://bit.ly/3O6Lrdn   Learn more about UC Berkeley Extension @https://bit.ly/3BMnLUv

We're taking an inside look at employee resource groups, better known as ERGs. ERGs provide a safe space for employees to meet with others like themselves, and develop community around those shared traits and needs. Normally employee-led, ERGs also provide inherent value to organizations small and large—from increasing employee retention, providing opportunity for professional development or boosting recruitment efforts. They are a win-win for both the employee and the employer. So to find out why every organization should cultivate and encourage ERG creation in their own workplaces, we turn to Anisha Nandi. Anisha is the CEO and co-founder of Verbate, a startup focused on helping companies build best-in-class employee communities.   Read the transcript @https://bit.ly/3pE0YrH   Learn more about UC Berkeley Extension @http://bit.ly/41iXuYT

According to recent McKinsey research, women-held positions in tech has largely declined in the U.S. during the past 25 years. And yet, companies are reporting a shortage in tech skills as businesses across the spectrum are ramping up their tech capabilities. So what can companies do to not only fill empty positions, but fill them with women and women of color. What can women already in the field do to advance not only their own careers, but that of other females wanting to enter the field? What leadership skills are needed to break those barriers?   We talk with Michelle Branner, an expert in helping people build leadership skills, create effective teams and expand their emotional intelligence. She started climbing the corporate ladder in finance and later large tech firms and has been a small-business leader. Now, Michelle is teaching full time at UC Berkeley Extension about workforce development, leadership and making power moves.

"Have a plan. Have goals. But, don’t just have goals and a plan, have a system that works for you. That might be creating an investment plan to begin with and following that investment plan. It might be automating your investments somehow through a robo-advisor, that might require you to hire an advisor. I think any of those options work as long as you have a plan and a system in place." - Daniel Lee In this episode of GET READY!, I spoke with Daniel Lee, a fiduciary financial planner who is the head of Plancorp’s San Francisco office about the benefits of having an investment plan.

Quick show notes Our Guest: Jayson J. Phillips What he'd like for you to see: The Media Developers Discord | His Live coding on Twitch His JAMstack Jams: Getting back to simplicity on the web | Tools like Netlify His Musical Jam: Bootsy Collins - I'd Rather Be With You | Karen Harding - Say Something Bryan Robinson 0:05 Hello, everyone, welcome to another fun packed episode of That's My Jamstack, the podcast where we ask that difficult question, what's your jam in the Jamstack? In this week's episode, we chat with Jason J. Phillips, Director of Engineering at a 2U, boot camp instructor and a media developer expert. Bryan Robinson 0:23 Before we dive into the episode, I wanted to mention our sponsor take shape, stick around after the interview to find out more about their content platform or head over to takeshape.io/thatsmyjamstack for more information. Bryan Robinson 0:41 All right, Jason, thanks for being on the show with us today. Jayson J. Phillips 0:43 Appreciate you, Bryan. Glad to be here. Bryan Robinson 0:45 Cool. So tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you do for work? What do you do for fun? Jayson J. Phillips 0:49 Yeah, so by day, I am a director of engineering for boot camp applications at 2U. We house a lot of boot camps web development. FinTech, UX, and a couple others through extension schools at universities. And so at night, I also teach web development and data visualization boot camps, most recently through the UC Berkeley Extension. And University of Denver was my most recent class. Bryan Robinson 1:18 Cool. So you're doing actual technology for companies that are doing boot camps through schools? Is that right? Jayson J. Phillips 1:25 Yeah. So the team that I that I oversee and manage runs a slate of applications that's for all parts of the learning aspect. So we build tools for instructing as we build tools for our students in our boot camps. We integrate LMS as for our learning platforms, so everything from the student is already enrolled to the student graduating, my team plays a role in their software journey. It's never a dull moment, pretty awesome. Bryan Robinson 1:53 So what do you do for fun outside? Obviously, if you're if you're teaching at nights too, then there's not a whole lot of room for that but what's what's your idea of fun. Jayson J. Phillips 2:00 Yeah. So I tend to run far away from technology for fun. While I do enjoy programming and you know tinkering around on my off time, I tend to be away from the house. So hiking outdoor activities. I'm a big cyclist and runner. I'm still trying to eventually chip away at hopefully running for the half marathons in 50 states I've allowed nine states now. So yeah, I try to make up for all the sedentary sitting at the desk by running myself until I can't run anymore. Bryan Robinson 2:36 Cool, so do you do like competitive or re you just doing it like those half marathons just to do the half marathons? Jayson J. Phillips 2:43 Yes. So my tagline is I don't run fast I run far. So that not competitively but I definitely enjoy a lot of the runs for fun and just to beat my my own personal times and then doing some team adventure races. Like there's a series called Ragnar where it's a team of 12 split between two vans and you run 200 miles over 36 hours. Bryan Robinson 3:09 Wow. I'm out of breath for a mile. And that's about that's about as much as I can go. So that is super impressive. Jayson J. Phillips 3:15 I mean, those races is all about the team. Because again, I run far not fast. So on the wrong team I can be probably very disruptive to a group, but it works out well. Bryan Robinson 3:26 Very cool. So So tell us what was your kind of entry point into the idea of the Jamstack or into static sites or wherever you found your way into this cool community? Jayson J. Phillips 3:35 Yeah, so I think the thing that hit me right away about Jamstack is that my first experience on the web, you know, was all static. Back in about 2001 2002, there was a popular platform called Graymatter written by this gentleman on Noah Gray, and it was written in Perl, but it it would take all your content, as text files and all your comments and actually generate static output for your site. So while the compilation step because it would recompile your entire site. So if you had thousands of pages as a blog, and you know, hundreds or thousands of comments, it would take forever. But once it was done, you had this beautiful site that just ran. It had the notion of templating. So I was like really one of the first experiences I ever got of playing around with a static site in any form. And so jumping back into like the modern era, I think it was around 2013. Before then I'd play around with Jekyll and Octopress for a couple years to replace the WordPress sites I've been working on. And then I dove into Wintersmith and Blacksmith was like some of the firt like early NodeJS, static site generators I've worked on. Bryan Robinson 4:46 So I'm curious real fast, because this was actually a conversation I had the other day about Wintersmith and Metalsmith and all all those kinds of first node static site generators and kind of the idea of like, why didn't those take off? Whereas potentially, like, now we've got stuff like, you know, eleventy kind of taking that role. But then on top of that, you know, obviously Gatsby and, and Nuxt and all that. Do you have any thoughts on that? Like, having used that, I used it a little bit, and it was over my head at the time. But like, what, what do you think about that? Jayson J. Phillips 5:20 Yeah, I think the barrier to entry lowered in terms of the setup, right, so I would say the first time I encountered Wintersmith and Blacksmith and a couple other of those types of sites, it was the same thing. It's like, Alright, this seems like a lot of configuration. I got these crazy Gulp processes or some other build process where now, especially with the advent of create react app and other tools, even in Angular and other ecosystems. It's much easier to get a common set of defaults that are a little bit opinionated, but enough that you don't have to mess with it to get started and you can kind of customize as you go, and I think that is what allowed Jekyll to take off when it first came out. Was that outside of a few hours sensible configuration in a YAML file, you could just write markdown and run it as default. It took very little in the way of getting started with it. Bryan Robinson 6:11 Yeah, the configuration is definitely it was a it was a big pain. I mean, honestly, some days when you're just trying to work on a project real fast, it can still be a pain if you don't actually reach for all these tools. Jayson J. Phillips 6:20 Yeah, I mean, it's, this is like the beauty of the the abstractions that we love building on top of, right, let's say, I really think it was just a maturing of the node ecosystem. And also just now we're within arm's length of a tool in almost any ecosystem now, but especially within JavaScript, Bryan Robinson 6:37 in fact, like the cool thing is like we're seeing projects coming up that are like refactoring Jekyll like there's Bridgetown nowadays. That is, you know, trying to say all right, we need a modern Ruby static site generator and Jekyll is just been around the block a few too many times. Yeah, that's Jayson J. Phillips 6:53 And I love to see it right. I think Jekyll for you know really brought static sites back into the forefront. And also outside of purely technical circles, you know, for other people to actually understand the care about it and see what the benefits were. So I think, you know, as we have these round Robins of, hey, this community is pushing that community ideas further And beyond that, who knows where we'll end up in 2025. It'll probably be something where we think the page gets created and the site's updated in like nanoseconds, Bryan Robinson 7:23 hey, there's that there's a JavaScript library for for reading brain process. So who knows? So I'm also curious. So So you've been you've been doing static sites for a long time with with Graymatter kind of being that that first entry point way back in the day. My first entry point was a little bit later, a few years after that with movable type blue. I'm wondering like, like, obviously, we're way better than those systems were back then. I remember I had a blog. They had thousands of posts for newspaper I worked for and it was like a 40 minute compilation step to deal with that. Do you think? Do you think that that timing was kind of the the downside of the static stuff? And is that is that why you think maybe we went dynamic for a number of years and only now coming back with the speed that we've got? Jayson J. Phillips 8:13 Yeah, I do think it had a lot to do with the company system, when b2, which was like the precursor to WordPress first came out, right, like it was competing with MovableType and a couple others at the time, and those were winning out. But then once someone saw that, hey, you could install this on a server and click a button and now you have a blog. And it starts out right away and you can add post right away. I think that's where the shine of the newness of this dynamic content sites came into play. And then I think there was also the piece of we didn't have, I think as advanced ways, generally available to structure content in static sites, whereas WordPress made that a bit easier to reason. So the tools like Drupal, where you could create structure around your content and understand like, what do I mean, when I'm creating a blog post? What do I mean when I'm creating a static page? And I think we will type in those tools as they moved along that over time, didn't have that really as well along with the long compilation steps. Bryan Robinson 9:17 Well, I know even like, later in the game with WordPress at the agency I worked at, we use a plugin called Advanced custom fields, almost any WordPress site we built had that by default, because that structured data was so important. And WordPress, I mean, out of the box didn't give give you a whole lot of structured data. So I think that's an interesting thing as well. But that's that's seeing a resurgence as well in terms of like, we want granularly structured data. Jayson J. Phillips 9:42 Yeah, and especially with a lot of the headless, headless CMS tools out. The awesome part is that there's a lot of different options that allow you to structure that content based on who's structuring it right. So like, with Sanity, you can reflect that in JavaScript files with other tools reflected in the CMS itself. So at the accessibility of structuring that content is really available to whatever type role needs that level of granularity to control it. So I think those tools also helped a lot. And, you know, even like, the pushes that we've had for Semantic Web and semantic structuring of content, even in just markup files and talking about what was it, like microformats, and all these other things, like a lot of that has kind of pushed us to where we are today. Bryan Robinson 10:28 Totally agree. So So we've mentioned a lot of different technologies. We've mentioned a lot of different things from from honestly, the history of the past almost 19 years now. What what's kind of your jam in the Jamstack? What's your favorite service or product? Or maybe it's just a philosophy or a framework? Where are you digging on right now? Jayson J. Phillips 10:45 Yeah, I think for me is getting back to this the simplicity of index page on the web. You know, like a lot of the things that we talked about, I that's what I enjoy most about the philosophies and the approaches of Jamstack You know, as an example, there was a client that I worked on back in 2008. For Fairmont International, a huge international chain of hotels. Every single page was its own index page. It was Yeah, every single page was a folder with an index page in it. For every single locale, language pair, they support it, which was over 50. So at any given moment, I was SFTPing like, hundreds of files, if we haven't changed a global header, and it wasn't a server side include, we had to change it on hundreds of pages. So I think just this approach that we can take these modern tools, and still come up with the simplicity of just another static page is super awesome. Outside of that, I am a huge fan of Netlify. We use it a lot at work to for like AV testing and for launching a bunch of previews for for our deploys for some of our front end applications that are built in react, which allows us to quickly test for UX changes Things like that. So, yeah, Netlify has been increasingly, I've been increasingly using a lot of the portfolio tools. So I, I dig it a lot for my personal blog and other things. Bryan Robinson 12:10 It's really hard to beat. Just the fact that it's all in one like you want you want serverless function, no problem. You want forums, no problem. You want just simple deploy of an HTML page. No problem. Jayson J. Phillips 12:22 Yeah. And I think also, even with stuff like forms, right, I think that solves a problem too, that we had back in the MovableType and other eras. And also in the first wave of static blogs, where we had to rely on Disqus or all these other external tools to get comments and then injected back into our sites. Now we have the full control of being able to build what we want, and or integrate suites. Like I know Gatsby studio is like kind of building up as well. Vercel has got a great, awesome set of tools, with Now or I guess they call that Vercel Now as well. But yeah, I think, you know, with these all in one suites that are leveraging these other platforms, they also make it easier for us to deal with lambda without having to jump into the AWS world and learn about security groups, everything else. So it's pretty awesome. Bryan Robinson 13:10 I had never touched a serverless function until Netlify rolled out their functions, just because it was just too big a pain to go into the into the GUI interface and deal with all that nonsense. I was like, Oh, I have it in your GitHub repository. No problem. Jayson J. Phillips 13:23 Yeah, just that that hole, just put it in a in a single folder. Let us know what folder it is. and it pulls up. I wish we had that when lambda was first being talked about, because that probably would have gotten a lot more adoption. Bryan Robinson 13:35 That would probably be two or three years ahead of where we're at right now. Jayson J. Phillips 13:37 Yeah. It's because I tried lamda once before that, and it was like, and it took me this long, a few years before and I just started playing with Netlify functions maybe like two weeks ago. So and I love how simple it is. Yeah, Bryan Robinson 13:52 You can just a Hello World example takes you know, five minutes to get up and running. It's beautiful. So So how are you using these kind of Jamstack philosophies at work, you know, with all these boot camps, and also, you know, personally, you mentioned your, your blog, but but kind of browse through what you're what you're using right now and how things are going for you. Jayson J. Phillips 14:11 Cool. Yeah, so. So at a previous job, we're using a lot of static page generation for our marketing site and letting that be cached in our system. So that marketing site was lightning fast. It was all static markup. And then we just use the API's for our back end financial platforms to integrate with authentication or integrate stock tickers, all those types of things. So what it enabled us to do was to quickly iterate on our marketing pages, and let the actual full, single page application stay on its own structure. And then it allows us to play with things like mono repos, which allowed us to have like share the common elements between all the different sites, but split architectures where needed at my current role one of our student facing platforms, we use the branch preview feature with Netlify to steady generate our sites and That's probably saved us, I can't tell you how many hours from our own QA process to now, and has made it so much easier to be able to switch between branches change, see the changes, see what changes look like in an integration branch before we actually roll that into master and release it. Jayson J. Phillips 15:16 So that's been super awesome. And then personally, so I do use Sanity.io for their headless CMS solution. I've really enjoyed having a clean interface to go in and write push a button and save it and push another button. And it goes off to the races to build everything. And so just this notion of my site can statically regenerate it whenever I want it to be like, it doesn't have to be recompiled unless I push that button also gives me an interesting level of control over content publishing that I didn't have before. Right, instead of me worrying about some systems timing. I can just say, all right, I release pages every Friday, but I can create my own editorial process around that before we statically build that site on the production. So that's been super awesome for me as well. Bryan Robinson 15:59 The whole idea of having an editorial process and all that is definitely something that is super powerful when it comes to especially like you mentioned, the deploy previews and all that, like you can send it, you can send preview links out to like, get feedback on a post before you launch it. Jayson J. Phillips 16:12 Yeah. And it makes it also makes code reviews, much more accessible and less obstructive, right. So if your reviews are really going to be around the functionality of the code, you can, instead of having to pull it down, you can review the code within GitHub, which is expanded their like code review tools a lot, and just the ease of reviewing code in the site. But then you have the fully launched version on that deploy branch, which, again, just makes that much easier. And then it allows you to do things like hey, I have a similar branch that we can wire up for the API so we can test that API changes. It's just it's just being able to split concerns where you need to at different parts of the process is pretty solid. Bryan Robinson 16:54 So out of curiosity, since since you're doing tech for a lot of these boot camps, and you're and you're teaching web development, Are these things being taught in the boot camps and in the classes? Or is it more traditional Dev, and then oh, by the way, don't forget, there's this new thing coming out, too. Jayson J. Phillips 17:09 So I think there's a mix. For our classes in particular, we do start with a static approach by telling them all about GitHub Pages and getting them used to that for their first set of sites. So for, I could say, probably their first 10 to 12 weeks, every homework, every page, every project they do is being deployed and GitHub Pages statically. And then we make the connection to them of the other tools later in the course. But we never actually get to come back and say, all right, you can launch here but when they get to their second or like end of class project, we have a lot of our students who end up deploying on Netlify or using like Firebase Hosting or even using Heroku and like static generating webpages and and just having it hosted via static folder. So some of the students end up deeper in Jamstack because of their own research, but they definitely get that hint of that throughout. course by talking about GitHub Pages and talking about what that means, and what Jamstack will be for them. Bryan Robinson 18:06 All right, well, so So let's talk about actual music now. What's your actual jam? Where are you listening to what's in your headphones on daily basis? Jayson J. Phillips 18:12 All right, so my favorite song of all time is Bootsy Collins, I Rather Be with You, there's just says something about that intro to I hear that anywhere I stop. And I just end up swaying slowly. As far as songs as I've been listening to you, like, for the last few months, is an artist by the name of Karen Harding, who had some, some really nice like Deep House hits, and one is called Say Something. And it's just a really kind of upbeat, quick, simple song that I hear it and it's like, Okay, I'm ready for the gym. Or I hear it and I'm ready for like, three hours of coding. Or I hear it and I'm like, Alright, 30 more minutes. I'll get on my live stream. Yeah, like it just it's my musical rebel. It's all I love that song. Bryan Robinson 18:59 So, so Also, you know, what are you - What are you looking to promote right now? What What do you want to get out to the Jamstack? community? You know, what, what are you doing that you want to get out there? Jayson J. Phillips 19:06 Yeah, I think first and foremost, which we're both members of, is the awesome media developer experts community. Yeah, we definitely want to make sure folks understand that they could join the discord even if they're not an expert, come join the community to talk about media, especially now that we are moving with heavy Jamstack and we're in that's gaining a lot of steam, that media handling and media expertise is going to be much more important because now image sizes matter when everything else on your page is code split and, and so much smaller. So now we need like a renewed focus on media. Jayson J. Phillips 19:40 The second thing is, you know, I've joined in toss my hat into the Twitch arena. I think for me, I'm sticking a gearing to towards really early stage to mid level engineering. So we'll talk about a lot of topics. I've been working on a movie Tracking site application just giving everyone a piece of functionality every week that we work on and on the stream. So that's been pretty awesome. So if you want to give a kid a follow up, come check it out. Jason J. Phillips, we'll make sure we give you some notes. But uh, yeah, that's, that's the things I've been up to recently that I've definitely want to get out there. Bryan Robinson 20:18 Very cool. I love the live streaming community. I've been a part of it for a couple months now. And it's just absolutely amazing. And I'm glad that you're a part of it. And I'm gonna go click that. That little heart button here in a couple minutes. Jayson J. Phillips 20:30 Yeah, definitely need to swing by, a few others, too. I've loved seeing the individuality amongst everyone. Yeah, when we're all talking about similar topics. It just makes that that ecosystem and that community so vibrant. And folks are so super supportive. It's like, if you're looking for like environments to to learn code, or to even stream code yourself, live streaming, especially on communities like Twitch and I think there's some fun Doing it on Mixer (editors note: Mixer just closed after recording) as well. It's, it's a good place to start and kind of get away from some of the toxicity you might see in other platforms. I don't doubt that it ends up on these platforms as well. But the communities right now are just so helping inclusive and like internally boosting each other, which is super dope. Bryan Robinson 21:19 I love it. Like there's so little judgment that happens. Like, I'm not always the best, like hardcore programmer and I've actually had chat debug my code for me, it was great. It was like a beautiful moment. Jayson J. Phillips 21:30 Yeah, I think the thing I love about that, is that, for my former students, I always model for them a lot that, you know, no matter how experienced you are, you're gonna make you're gonna make errors, you're gonna have bugs, right? The point is for us to kind of learn from those and not repeat it the same way. Right. And so, I do love that there's this freedom to just be yourself as an engineer on a live stream. Yeah. And, I mean, I've definitely had a moment where we were sitting in for 20 minutes trying to figure out why something wasn't working. And it literally was, I refer to the model in my code wrong. And I was like, Yeah, thanks. That's 20 minutes of me sweating and getting frustrated for no reason. Bryan Robinson 22:12 And there is sweat involved. It's it's it can be nerve-wracking in front of in front of a crowd. Jayson J. Phillips 22:17 Yeah, but it's a it's a it's a weird kind of scary freedom. or something. We're like, Jason, I don't get it. I'm like, I know. But there's just something also empowering when people do come in to chat. And you know, there's a message of support or a message of, hey, you missed something like just that. Automatic, like, leaving the house help is super awesome. Bryan Robinson 22:39 Yeah. And like, it's just like sitting in a room with you know, with other developers thinking through a problem it can be just super helpful just to talk to somebody about even that somebody can't talk back. Yeah, Jayson J. Phillips 22:49 and it's, and the community also isn't looking for like the super. Like wunderkind. I've been programming since I was two. So I never heard A bug in my C sharp, right? It's a lot of folks are just looking for folks who look like them or sound like them or have life experiences like them, and actually be able to see them writing code. And I think that's super empowering for all of us to play a role in. Because we don't know who were inspiring next, or who just needed that little bit of validation of, oh, Brian talked about his story. I will link to Brian's story. I could do this, right. And that that for me is like the, the main like, just thing that pulls me into education and into like, live streaming. Bryan Robinson 23:40 Yeah. Or like, Hey, you know, Bryan spent 20 minutes finding a typo in his code. I've done that like five times, maybe I am a programmer. Jayson J. Phillips 23:47 Or someone's like, Oh, I'm not a real programmer, but I'm building a tool to and this is a real thing that happened. I'm building a tool to screenshot my screen. Use OCR to look at my code. And then Tell me if there's better ways to write those functions. Like when you think you're not a real programmer, get out of here, you leave right now. Like, man, you should get on stream and I'm gonna follow you nervous now. Bryan Robinson 24:15 I'm not a programmer, but I wrote this entire thing that honestly, I couldn't do. So that's, that's super impressive. Jayson J. Phillips 24:21 Yeah, it's, uh, it's, it's, it's been amazing. So yeah. For folks out there, and especially in the Jamstack community, if you're looking to do that. Everybody's voices needed. You know, streamers, watch each other. People will watch each other stream. It's a super awesome thing. Bryan Robinson 24:36 Yeah, definitely. Cool. So I appreciate you taking the time to be on the show with us today and to share your thoughts and experience so keep doing amazing things on the web in the Jamstack. Jayson J. Phillips 24:44 Bryan, appreciate you. I love what you're doing here and thanks for having me on the show. Bryan Robinson 24:54 Hey, everyone, it's Bryan again.

Organizations can use Enzoic solutions to screen customer and employee accounts for exposed username and password combinations to identity accounts at risk and mitigate unauthorized access. Learn more about Enzoic. On this episode of Defense in Depth, you’ll learn: There is the path to security you create and the path that your users take, or the desired path. As a security and UX professional you should plan to make those two the same path. If not, your users will take the simpler route and circumvent your security controls. Users will always choose the easier path which is not necessarily the most secure path. Security is an "ask." You're requesting users do something, but it's hard to get them to keep doing that "ask" if you don't give them feedback as to the reason or value of the ask. Error messages historically provide little to no information to the user and thus no guidance to solve the problem. We often have to go outside of the environment (a search engine) to find a solution. Security professionals need to take on the role of a UX designer which requires defining work processes by interviewing users, not deciding what you want those processes to be. Creating a simple process is far more difficult than creating a complex process. Secure processes don't require users to constantly turn functions on and off or go through additional unnecessary steps to get their job done. View your users as customers where you're trying to sell them on your process rather than dictating which will eventually be avoided.

Jeanette McCarthy is a genetic epidemiologist and currently holds adjunct professorships at Duke University and UCSF. She is a leading educator in the field of genomic and precision medicine involved in demystifying genomics for non-technical audiences, including health care providers and patients. In 2014 she helped launch the first consumer-facing magazine in this field, Genome, where she served as editor-in-chief until 2016. She teaches genomic and precision medicine through UCSF and UC Berkeley Extension and online through the Precision Medicine Academy (precisionmedicineacademy.org).     In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Jeanette McCarthy discuss what precision medicine is and what it isn’t, including the history and the uses of precision medicine. Genetic testing and precision medicine can be used for different types of diagnosis throughout the course of someone’s life, from prenatal testing, childhood genetic diseases, cancer, and more. They discuss some of the reasons of why it may not be as widely used as it could be, as well as the latest developments and exciting new findings in the field.      Key Takeaways:   The 2013 Supreme Court ruling that you cannot patent genes has lowered the price and broadened the research with genetic testing.  Many physicians don’t have the confidence in their own skills on ordering, interpreting, and communicating the test results. It is a relatively new thing that is not really taught in medical school.  New sequencing technology is changing and improving information we can receive from these tests.      "In general, there are modest, but significant, increases in the efficacy of treatment [with targeted cancer treatments]." —  Dr. Jeanette McCarthy      Connect with Dr. Jeanette McCarthy:    Twitter: @Genomeducation  Website: PrecisionMedicineAdvisors.com  Book: Precision Medicine: A Guide to Genomics in Clinical Practice  Magazine: Genome  LinkedIn: Jeanette McCarthy     Connect with Therese:   Website:   www.criticallyspeaking.net  Twitter: @CritiSpeak   Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net         Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Whether you're choosing a language-specific or platform-oriented credential, it's worth looking at my top five programming certifications for software developers. I've talked several times before about attending to coding boot camps, doing nanodegrees but I've never actually talked about the best online programming certifications that are out there. Nowadays, the entire programming workforce is changing so much and there are A LOT more options for those who want to become developers that, if you really want that, you should consider all possibilities. Developer and programming skills are in high demand, and this isn't changing anytime soon. This is why achieving a developer certification can help you keep an edge in the market by making you stand out among your peers. And the programs are getting stronger each day, especially with those online certifications. So... What are the top 5 online programming certifications? Should I Focus On Getting Certifications?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LAzOBhIfPE Developer Bootcamps Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjwWT1Xy3c4XuAj7ZQay-5sFyY8Kf_WT6 Udacity: http://simpleprogrammer.com/udacititycertification Coursera: https://simpleprogrammer.com/courseracertification Bloc.io: https://simpleprogrammer.com/bloccertifications UC Berkeley Extension: https://simpleprogrammer.com/ucberkeley Thinkful: https://simpleprogrammer.com/thinkfulcertification

“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.” — Norman Vincent Peale   Has fear taken your confidence from you? Are you afraid to try to achieve your goals? Action is the great restorer and builder of confidence. This is the first quote I think I've shared by Norman Vincent Peale. He is one of my favorite authors and I originally read "The Power of Positive Thinking" when I was in my teens and firmly embraced the belief in Positive Thinking. I remember talking to the pastor of my church after a service one Sunday morning. I told him how I had read Dr. Peale's book and was now a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. He looked at me with his sad-eyed look and said, "Tony, that's bad. You need to face reality and not positive."... WHOA! What. I don't remember anything else after that point. That was my last service at that church. I would not be involved in a church with a pastor that had a negative attitude. I didn't believe that God was a negative force. I believe God wants you to be always believe in being positive. But that's not the point of this episode. I am excited about this quote because it's about Action. I am also a firm believer in action. Action, as Dr. Peale says is a builder of confidence and a great restorer. I have seen this in Action in my life. A couple years ago I was having a very bad moment in my life. I had lost a lot of my self confidence. I decided I needed to do something to improve my confidence. I decided to attend a Toastmasters meeting. I used to do training and a lot of presentations. I was used to talking in front of people. You wouldn't be able to tell it from my first Toastmasters meeting. Taking that action, doing something, started to build my confidence back up. I went on to take some marketing courses at UC Berkeley Extension. I made good grades, had fun, learned a lot and found my calling. I took Michael Brito's Social Media Marketing Strategy course and developed a passion for social media. Taking the action to start at Toastmasters rebuilt my confidence. It prompted me to take other actions. Once I found my calling, I took action to start this podcast, write my book, 9 Steps To Successful Goal Achievement and start working on my my next goal to become a professional speaker specializing in inspiration and goal achievement. Action is a great restorer. Taking action allowed me to build my confidence back to where it was before and beyond. Are you having a moment in your life where things are not going as well as you want it to? Are you not achieving your goals? Do you need to boost your confidence? I know how to help and I want to help you. I want to show you how you can be the best person you want to be. It takes action. You have to be willing to take the first action and that is to get started. Getting started helped me grow and now I want to help you. This is why I started my coaching services. If you want someone to help you take the action you need to move forward in your life, let me know.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. ~~ Bruce Lee Click Below to Listen to Today's Show Insert Podcast Link Here   Don't go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself. . . . Who Do You Think You Are? Who are you? What is it to be yourself? About three years ago, I started wondering who I was, or more specifically I was looking for what my calling was. I wasn't happy with my current career choice. I had worked in the field for many years but wasn't feeling it any more. I had actually changed careers from that career about 5 years earlier, but went back into it after the mortgage crash. I had left IT and Enterprise Content Management and went into a sales role as a Loan Officer. I loved it, but the mortgage crash dashed that career.   At the end of that run, I also purchased a Coffee News franchise. I became a publisher of "Good News" and sold advertising to local businesses. I loved it, too.     While doing these two careers I started attending Business Networking International (BNI) and learned how to network.   I joined and worked in the local Chambers of Commerce. I loved it. I loved to network with the local business and community leaders. I loved helping businesses grow and build their business and networks. Unfortunately, the economy that was driven by the real estate and building market in the local areas I worked went down considerably and that business failed as well. I was unable to pay the bills, unable to afford insurance, etc. I found a part-time job working at a local grocery store bakery for a couple years and work my way to a Bakery Manager position. I always strive to be my best and excel. I couldn't just be a bakery clerk. But, this wasn't what I wanted to do forever. I started looking for something with my prior experience and skills that could bring in a good salary. I was offered a position in the field I had left before in Enterprise Content Management in Lending and moved to California. After a couple years I realized I wasn't happy doing this. It paid well. I was well respected among my peers, but I just didn't enjoy it anymore. I wasn't feeling like I was making an impact. I wasn't feeling satisfied or significant. I heard about and then read Jeff Goins' book, The Art Of Work. Jeff said to think about what you were doing when you were the happiest in your life. What were you doing when you loved going to work or what did you do when you weren't at work that made you the happiest? Pick up Jeff's book here: On GoalGettingBook.com / Audible or [amazon template=image&chan=goalgettingpodcast&asin=0718022076] I sat down one day when I went for an early morning walk in the East Bay hills near my house, which I loved to do. I started thinking about when i was happiest. I realized it was when i was when I was doing these things: meeting new people marketing business networking working with and building communities online and offline speaking at events training people motivating others to reach and achieve their goals social media writing I joined a new Toastmasters club our company started so I could improve my public speaking and start meeting new people in the company. I started taking marketing and social media classes at UC Berkeley Extension. I decided I wanted to start working towards a career in marketing, social media, public speaking. I realized that the type of career that would work well for what I wanted to do, what I wanted to be, what would make me happy and satisfied was something in the line of Community Management. I started researching and learning. This was who I was. This is what would make me happy. Really?  How did I know? This has been a long discourse to get to the point of this podcast episode, which is to talk about "Who Do You Think You Are?"  If, as Bruce Lee says, you should "be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself" then shouldn't you know who you really are? How the heck do you do that? I started by doing what Jeff Goins suggested. I did find my dream job as a Community Manager. One of the great benefits of our company is that they value their employees. One of the benefits is they often allow us to take personality tests. Yes, there are personality tests. I've taken a few over the years, but I never really took the results and looked at what they meant. They are developed to give you an idea of the strengths and weaknesses you have based on your personality. YOUR PERSONALITY, not someone else's. As Bruce said, "don't look for a successful personality and duplicate......" There are several of these types of tests: Gallup StrengthsFinder Myers-Briggs DISC 16 Personalities and more. . . . We have been given the opportunity to take a couple of these this year and I have been amazingly surprised how accurate they are. I took the Gallup StrengthsFinder and the 16 Personalities tests. Gallup StrengthsFinder The StrengthsFinder Test cost a few dollars to take, but it is well worth it. There are 34 Themes in this test. We signed up for the Top 5 Themes test that shows your 5 themes that define the majority of your personality. My top 5 are: Strategic Activator Self-Assurance Significance Futuristic These are my most dominant themes of the 34 the test shows. These are very important. The program also puts together an Action Plan for you to maximize these strengths. To help show what this means, here are the top 2 of 5: Strategic The Strategic theme enables you to sort through the clutter and find the best route. It is not a skill that can be taught. It is a distinct way of thinking, a special perspective on the world at large. This perspective allows you to see patterns where others simply see complexity. Mindful of these patterns, you play out alternative scenarios, always asking, “What if this happened? Okay, well what if this happened?” This recurring question helps you see around the next corner. There you can evaluate accurately the potential obstacles. Guided by where you see each path leading, you start to make selections. You discard the paths that lead nowhere. You discard the paths that lead straight into resistance. You discard the paths that lead into a fog of confusion. You cull and make selections until you arrive at the chosen path—your strategy. Armed with your strategy, you strike forward. This is your Strategic theme at work: “What if?” Select. Strike. Activator “When can we start?” This is a recurring question in your life. You are impatient for action. You may concede that analysis has its uses or that debate and discussion can occasionally yield some valuable insights, but deep down you know that only action is real. Only action can make things happen. Only action leads to performance. Once a decision is made, you cannot not act. Others may worry that “there are still some things we don’t know,” but this doesn’t seem to slow you. If the decision has been made to go across town, you know that the fastest way to get there is to go . . 16 Personalties When I took the 16 Personalities test, which is FREE, I find I am an ENFJ - The Protagonist. You can learn what each personality is and the characteristics of each. Like the StrengthsFinders test, I found the 16 Personalities test to be pretty accurate. Here are a couple of points from this test that I feel describe me: ENFJs are genuine, caring people who talk the talk and walk the walk, and nothing makes them happier than leading the charge, uniting and motivating their team with infectious enthusiasm. Charismatic – Charm and popularity are qualities ENFJs have in spades. They instinctively know how to capture an audience, and pick up on mood and motivation in ways that allow them to communicate with reason, emotion, passion, restraint – whatever the situation calls for. Talented imitators, ENFJs are able to shift their tone and manner to reflect the needs of the audience, while still maintaining their own voice. Altruistic – Uniting these qualities is ENFJs' unyielding desire to do good in and for their communities, be it in their own home or the global stage. Warm and selfless, ENFJs genuinely believe that if they can just bring people together, they can do a world of good. Natural Leaders – More than seeking authority themselves, ENFJs often end up in leadership roles at the request of others, cheered on by the many admirers of their strong personality and positive vision. Very interesting, and I have to agree they are fairly accurate as well. Essentially both tests say the same things about my personality. If you look at these traits and characteristics of my personality and the things that made me the happiest when I was doing them, you can see why. It is me. It is who I am.  What's the point of all of this? It's to understand what Bruce Lee is said, AND it is to understand YOU. If you want to be successful at your career, if you want to live a happy, satisfied, fulfilling life, then you need to be you. You need to be yourself, express yourself and have faith in yourself. Find your calling. If you are in your calling, live it with passion. Find these personality strengths and take the action needed to use them for your life. I have a career now doing what I am. I am a Community Manager for the company I work for. I am a Podcaster, helping people set and achieve their goals. I help people take action and Get The Goals They Set. I am the happiest I've been in a long time doing what I love and what I am. Are You?  Take one or many of these tests if you haven't. Be honest when taking them. Find out who you really are and then set your goals to be what you are.  If your goals are not in alignment with who you are, then you will have the hardest time achieving them. Your subconscious mind will work to sabotage you. Don't let your mind play goalie for the other team! Go Out Today - Be Yourself, Express Yourself, Have Faith in Yourself.

Happily Ever After… and 39 Other Myths about Love: Breaking Through to the Relationship of Your Dreams with Linda and Charlie Bloom According to married couple and bestselling authors Linda and Charlie Bloom, it’s not so much the things we don’t know about relationships that can hurt us but rather the things we THINK WE KNOW. These myths, from “they lived happily ever after” to “love means never to having to say you’re sorry” to “once a cheater, always a cheater,” permeate our culture and take root in our minds, preventing many couples from doing the work required to build a good, lasting relationship.  Join us as we explore these myths together and talk about how you can recognize and be free from the limits of these beliefs.  Linda Bloom, LCSW, and Charlie Bloom, MSW, regularly teach at Esalen Institute and the Kripalu Center and have served as adjunct faculty at institutes of higher learning including UC Berkeley Extension, and California Institute for Integral Studies. They live in Santa Cruz, CA. Their website is www.Bloomwork.com. Music by JedLuckless.com

Gratitude is an Attitude Hi Goal Getters, I really want to thank you for being with me today for this episode. This is our 39th weekly episode of Goal Getting Podcast. It is also the day before Thanksgiving here in the United States. I, thankfully, have a four day weekend coming up. My department at work doesn't have to work on Thursday or Friday, and we have the usual Saturday and Sunday off. This is a great break from work. If you want to learn more about the "Thanksgiving" holiday and why it is celebrated you can Google it. This episode is not about the holiday itself but the attitude that I believe we should have during this time of celebration. To me, I believe it is a time for having gratitude. To me Gratitude is an Attitude. I believe I should have be grateful for the things I have, whether it be physical, material possessions, health, a sound mind, everything, including life. Having Gratitude is one thing that will set us up for leading a rich life, a life of significance and purpose. So I am going to reflect on some of the things I am grateful for this year and some that I am always grateful for. I am grateful for you, for listening to my podcast. If you didn't come to listen, I would have no reason for doing this show. My goal in starting Goal Getting Podcast was to be able to share the things I have learned about setting goals effectively so that we can change our subconscious mind into a Goal Getting Machine.  I have learned through training in hypnosis and hypnotherapy various techniques that can reprogram a subconscious mind that has limiting, goal stifling beliefs into a mind that will allow you to draw success and achievement to you. I am grateful for the additional listeners that started listening to the podcast after I started doing the Goal Getting Quote of the Day on July 1st. I know that I am inspired by quotes that I hear or read and wanted to share some of those quotes with you to help inspire or keep you motivated. I felt that talking about these quotes and what they mean to me and how they inspire or effect me might help people that listen. When I started the podcast on my birthday in February, I hoped it would do well. I made it to iTunes New & Noteworthy and was actually able to make it into the top 10 in a couple of the categories I was listed in. I was happy. After the usual 8 weeks on New & Noteworthy, the number of listeners seemed to drop, which is normal. I started thinking about how to reach a greater audience and started the Quote of the Day on July 1st. It has been great. Listeners like you loved it and my audience grew. I was happy and I am still happy.  I was helping more people. So, Thank You all for listening to the show. I Am Grateful I am grateful for the opportunity that I have in this country to be able to do things like this podcast. I am grateful that I started taking classes in marketing at UC Berkeley Extension in 2013. Had I not started that program, I would not have taken the Social Media Marketing Course taught by Michael Brito ( @Britopian ). I am grateful for Michael Brito. His teaching style and the information he shared lit a new fire in my belly, a new passion for social media marketing. I also was able to overhear a couple fellow students behind me one class talk about listening to podcasts and that they were on iTunes. If you've listened to some of my other episodes, you know that I did my first podcast in 2004/2005. I stopped after about six months because I did it for fun just to do it after I heard some other podcasts. I knew then it would one day be big. This is getting into a longer episode that I really want today because I have so much to be grateful for. I have two beautiful daughters that have grown from my little girls to intelligent, compassionate, healthy and good women. I am very proud of them for all they have accomplished in life and for what they continue to do. I am grateful that I now have a wonderful son-in-law after my oldest daughter go married this year. Walking my daughter down the aisle was a highlight of my life. I am grateful for a loving wife that I have been married to for over 28 years, that continues to put up with me and love me. I am grateful for a loving family. I am grateful that my sister has been beating the cancer that has tried to take her away from us. We will do everything we can to stop it. I am grateful for my health. It isn't the best and I don't take care of myself the way I should, but I am grateful that I have the ability to change the things I do wrong. I am grateful for the company I work for and the people I work with,. They saw the potential in me to allow me to do a complete career change into an area that I love and now I am grateful that I have the ability to do work that I enjoy and can get paid well for it. I really am grateful this year for a great year. There were tough times where I really thought things were not heading where I wanted and I wanted to change. I am grateful for the people I have been hanging around in my podcasting and entrepreneurial community that have supported me. One of those that I am grateful for is Joel Boggess, that saw I was fighting the Impostor Syndrome at the  beginning of this year and told me to kick him out of the house and get moving with my podcast. I am grateful for one of my mentors in life, Tom Matthews. He helped to mentor me when I started my networking as an entrepreneur and Loan Officer. He taught me much about how to meet and treat people. He helped guide me in my Coffee New business when I started my marketing and advertising career. Tom informed me recently that he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer with limited time left this year. Please pray for Tom and his family. My Mom passed away from the same cancer in 2012.  I am grateful for life. So I am Grateful for so much this year, and every year, to be honest. As you listen to this, please think about what you have to be grateful for. Gratitude is an Attitude. It is one that will help you enjoy life. It will help you enjoy the journey as well as the destinations. We all have much to be grateful for. Think about that this week and every week throughout the year. Thank you for listening today and every day. I have a few more great guests to introduce you to this year. Stay tuned on Wednesdays for our weekly podcast where I or one of my expert guests share tips, strategies and inspiration on How To Get The Goals You Set.

Today's Quote is from Drew Houston Click Below to Listen to Today's Show     “Don’t worry about failure; you only have to be right once.” ~~ Drew Houston Drew Houston is the founder of Dropbox. I studied Drew Houston and his startup at the time, Dropbox in my Marketing Class at UC Berkeley Extension. There was a great Harvard Business Review article on him and his work starting Dropbox. My project team in class put together a presentation on Dropbox. I think Drew Houston has a great quote, that we should all read and listen to. Failure, yea, it's a tough thing to happen to us, but if you don't start whatever you are wanting to do, whatever your dreams are, then haven't you technically failed. You are in the same spot you would be if you started and failed. So why not start. If you fail, learn from it. Start again with new information and skills. As Drew says, You only have to be right once. If you are right, you might not ever have to start or worry about failing again. But, if I know you, if you get it right, that means you will want to do something else right... Right? Go Out Today and Get it Right! - If you fail, fail fast and fail forward. You only have to get it right once. If you are not familiar with Dropbox you should check them out. One of the great things about Dropbox is you can use it for free and if you refer others, you can add to your storage capacity. Below is my Referral Link to check out Dropbox and sign up.

Follow Your Arrow Kacey Musgraves – October 2013     from 2:11 Say what you think, Love who you love 'Cause you just get So many trips 'round the sun Yeah, you only Only live once So make lots of noise Kiss lots of boys Or kiss lots of girls If that's what you're into When the straight and narrow Gets a little too straight Roll up a joint, I would And follow your arrow Wherever it points, yeah Follow your arrow Wherever it points Following My Arrow In November 2013 – I had been in San Francisco 3 years. Moved to SF to get a job. I had been a loan officer when the mortgage industry crashed. I had started a Weekly Newspaper, Coffee News, but it failed due to the economy. I had taken a job in a high end grocery store bakery. I worked my way up to Bakery Manager of a large store.  3 weeks later I was offered a job in SF making 5X what I was making doing what I had left before I became a loan officer. After 3 years, I realized I wasn’t enjoying what I was doing. I loved the company. I just wasn’t happy doing what I was doing. When I thought back on my last 10 years, I realized I had been happiest when I When I worked my own business, Coffee News and was able to work with businesses marketing their business, selling ads, networking in community groups, Chambers of Commerce and BNI. I wanted back into marketing, networking, and working within the community. Toastmasters had started at FRB, so I joined, so I could meet more people at FRB and get out into “the FRB Community”.  I started Marketing Classes at UC Berkeley Extension.Then I took Social Media Marketing Strategy by Michael Brito. A Passion was ignited.  An old flame was re-kindled. Have you ever had that moment hit you? That A HA Moment?  That moment when . . . . My favorite Quote is from Mark Twain: The two greatest days in your life are the days you are born and the day you find out why. ~Mark Twain When that moment hit me, I sat down awestruck!  I knew that my why was to teach, mentor, speak, share, network, to get back into building and helping the Community and the members of the community grow and achieve their goals. [bctt tweet="The two greatest days in your life are the days you are born and the day you find out why. ~Mark Twain"] Shortly after that Ah Ha moment, I heard Kacey Musgraves sing Follow Your Arrow. I decided I needed To Follow My Arrow, Wherever it Pointed! It became my theme song. I have it pop up on my Reminder every Morning. I started podcasting, blogging, growing my twitter following, with the ultimate Goal to follow my arrow and get into a position that would allow me to do my passion. I was having a fun again, enjoying what I was doing. I stay up late, get up early, work on these things on weekends, doing what I love. I kept thinking about my passion and trying to learn the things that would give me the skills to start my own social media business or go to work as a community manager for a someone. But my work was wearing on me. I got a call to interview with a company doing the same thing I was doing at FRB, but with control over the team and the application. I didn’t really want to move to Spartanburg, SC., or do the same thing  and then an opening for the Internal Community Manager opened up at FRB. I Never expected to get the position at FRB. I interviewed. I had passion. I had desire. I was offered both positions at the same time! What Would You Do? A full-time job doing what I was not happy doing now, for a company I don’t know and working with people I don’t know. OR The Internal Community Manger position at a company I liked working for, with people I liked hanging around with, and doing what I am passionate about. [bctt tweet="Follow Your Arrow, Wherever It Points. ~ Kacey Musgraves"] I Followed My Arrow! It was pointing where I aimed it.

Matsui Center for Politics and Public Service at the Institute of Governmental Studies, in conjunction with the UC Berkeley Extension, is proud to present the 28th in a series of annual assessments of the American presidency. Obama Takes Charge: The President's First Three Months Barack Obama is a historic president who took office at a historic moment, amid an economic crisis at home and a lingering war abroad. After exactly three months in office, our panel of experts assesses the new administration. What has the president accomplished? Where has he failed? And has he laid the groundwork for a successful first term, or is the administration already adrift?
