Download the Episode Transcript in .pdf formatIn this episode of the Fund the People Podcast, you'll gain practical insights into how centering workers' perspectives -- and sharing power between employees and management -- can dramatically improve job quality in nonprofit organizations.Host Rusty Stahl sits down with Brianna Rogers and Rob Hope of Rework The Bay to unpack a bold funding experiment supported by the James Irvine Foundation and conducted in partnership with Jobs for the Future. Eight California nonprofits engaged frontline staff as participatory researchers to examine their own working conditions and to co-create improvements with their organizations' top executives.The results challenge assumptions. While compensation is foundational, workers most emphasized voice, transparency, shared leadership, professional growth, and healthier work boundaries as essential components of a quality job. The project surfaced five key lessons: workers can surface what truly matters; leaders grow when they listen; power must be intentionally shared; strategies must be tailored to organizational context; and job quality is an ongoing process—not a one-time fix.Through concrete examples—from four-day workweeks to anonymous feedback systems and participatory decision-making—this conversation offers nonprofit leaders and funders actionable ideas to advance shared leadership, transform funding practices, and elevate collective voice.Part of our ongoing California Voices Series, this episode is a roadmap for anyone committed to building nonprofit workplaces where staff can thrive—and where stronger internal culture leads to stronger community impact.Speaker Bios:ReWork the Bay Initiative Officer Brianna Rogers partners on ReWork's fundraising efforts and leads our systems change projects focused on building worker power, workforce training and advancing job quality. Brianna grew up in Berkeley, attended Berkeley City College where she served as one of two student delegates to the Peralta Community College District, then transferred to UC Berkeley as a first-generation, re-entry student parent, earning her bachelor's degree in Rhetoric Studies. While at UCB, Brianna developed innovative programming for the UC Berkeley's African Student Development Center and the Department of Equity and Inclusion. She went on to receive her master's degree from the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University, got her start in philanthropy as a National Urban Fellow at the Andrus Family Fund in New York City. In October 2020, she joined the San Francisco Foundation's Partnership for HOPE SF team, where she worked until joining the ReWork team in 2022.ReWork the Bay Director Rob Hope is responsible for leading execution of ReWork the Bay's strategy, as well as fundraising, grantmaking, budget management and partnership building. Rob joined ReWork the Bay in October 2017, after serving as Chief Program Officer at Rubicon Programs. Prior professional experience includes all levels of workforce development direct services, program evaluation and policy analysis, and community building work. Rob has a Bachelor's in Sociology from Vassar College and a Master's in Public Policy from UC Berkeley.For more on Brianna and Rob, visit the staff page of ReWork the Bay.Links to Resources Discussed:Featured Initiative:Rework The BayJob Quality Project Report (June 2025)Project Partners:Jobs for the FutureThe PATH GroupFunding PartnerJames Irvine FoundationHost Organization:San Francisco FoundationParticipating Nonprofits Highlighted in the Episode:Canal AllianceCreating Restorative Opportunities and Programs (CROP)Related Fund the People Resources:Playlist for FTP Podcast's CA Voices SeriesReport on FTP's 2024-25 California ConveningsFTP Podcast Premium on PatreonFund the People - A Podcast with Rusty StahlFund the People WebsiteListen to this episode:This Episode on Apple PodcastsThis Episode on Spotify

Send a textWhat happens when a movie you once despised suddenly makes you laugh out loud? We dive back into Strange Wilderness and pull apart why some of its dumbest jokes still work—and why the “movie” around them often doesn't. We set the table with the film's sketch roots, the Sandler-adjacent cast, and the loose, improv-first approach that leaves scenes searching for an ending. Then we zero in on the bright spots: the nature documentary parodies that deliver clean, quotable lines with a confident, wrong-on-purpose voiceover. When the film sticks to that angle, the jokes snap; when it wanders, setups die before their payoffs.We get specific. The turkey clinic should be a premise machine; instead it blinks at the exact moment heightening should kick in. The scar-trading campfire misses easy layups. A promised punch to a rival's face never lands. But Steve Zahn's full-throttle commitment wrings laughs from chaos, Justin Long's spaced-out physicality adds texture, and Jonah Hill's stream-of-consciousness bursts occasionally hit surreal gold. The Bigfoot finale is dark and oddly honest—humans panic and ruin discovery—followed by a ludicrous “fix” that somehow fits the crew's shameless logic. And yes, the late shark montage is a 10/10 showcase for tight edits and confidently stupid science, the kind of bit that proves craft can elevate silliness.Along the way we talk joke structure, UCB-style game, and why committing to escalation matters more than shock value. If you care about how comedy lands—writing, rhythm, and payoffs—you'll find plenty to argue with and steal for your own creative brain. Stay for the punchy breakdowns, the debate over dated gags, and our case for why the right edit can redeem a bad scene. Enjoy the ride, then tell us: secret classic or still a glorious mess?

In today's episode, Amanda drinks some Zevia cream soda and root beer with writer, director, and producer Clara Altimas. Clara is a writer, director, and producer originally from Montreal, now based between Toronto and Los Angeles. She serves as showrunner, executive producer, and director on Crave's The Office Movers, created by Jay and Trey Richards, and is now working on season 3 of the series. She was previously a writer, producer, and director on CBC's Strays and Kim's Convenience. In addition to her television work, Clara has written and directed numerous short films, and is currently in development on her first feature film. She has also taken part in several major industry development programs, including the Canadian Film Centre's Writer's Lab and the Reykjavik International Film Festival's Talent Lab. Before all of that, Clara started out as an actor, training in Meisner with the late Jacqueline McClintock, studying scene study and script analysis with Larry Moss, and performing improv at UCB in Los Angeles and Toronto's Second City. She credits her love of story and character to her extensive training as an actor, and brings those experiences into her writing and directing work. In this episode, Amanda and Clara discuss the shift from actor to writer/director, how she got started in writing for TV, and how she navigates the pressures of comparison and self-doubt in the entertainment industry.

Nayla Chaijale, Medical Strategy Lead for Rare Syndromes at UCB, describes Dravet syndrome, a rare, medication-resistant epileptic encephalopathy that involves seizures and significant co-morbidities like cognitive and developmental delays. Their approved drug FINTEPLA has a unique mechanism of action that modulates pathways in the brain and has demonstrated a significant reduction in the frequency of convulsive seizures in those with this condition. Nayla notes that the good news is that most patients with Dravet syndrome have a mutation in the SCN1A gene, a critical biomarker that enables accurate diagnosis. Nayla explains, "So, Dravet syndrome is a rare condition in epilepsy, and what we call it is neurodevelopmental and epileptic encephalopathy. I'm just going to call it DEEs, to say that it's a rare epileptic syndrome. Even though it's very rare, it's also very burdensome for the patients and their families. So, people living with these conditions start having the symptoms at a very early age, between two and 15 months of life. And it usually appears after a fever or a high temperature. And the symptoms are seizures that usually are long, prolonged seizures. It's not just about the seizures, it's also the other symptoms, such as potential cognitive delays and other developmental delays, problems with sleep, problems with behavior over time."   "The good news about Dravet syndrome is that there is a very well-established biomarker. So, there is a genetic test for it, for the gene code that is called SCN1A. And also, in science, we love to have acronyms, but really, it's related to a specific type of receptors or proteins that are in charge of neuronal transmission and communication, like in the neurons. And these are called sodium channel neurotransmitters. And there is a mutation of that gene that is very characteristic, around 90% of these patients will have that mutation of the gene. So, having that biomarker will give a very good indication to the healthcare provider that the person living with the conditions may have Dravet syndrome." #UCB #DravetSyndrome #RareEpilepsy #FINTEPLA #Neuroscience #RareDiseases #EpilepsyAwareness #MedicalInnovation #PatientCare #NeurodevelopmentalDisorders #ClinicalTrials #RareDiseases ucb.com Download the transcript here

If you work across time zones, borders, and cultures, this is the show for you. This is your host Leonardo, welcome to The International Business Podcast. AI can now summarise almost anything in seconds. That's powerful, but it makes it easy to stay at the surface. We get headlines, bullet points, "3 key takeaways", and move on. What's lost is context, nuance, and understanding that changes how professionals think and decide in international business. With this new format, host Leonardo Marra pushes in the opposite direction. Instead of a quick AI overview, he built a long‑form deep dive into Japan after 1945: from World War II defeat to economic miracle, bubble, stagnation, and today's super‑aging, innovation‑driven society.Part 1 traces Japan's path from post‑war devastation through U.S. occupation, state‑guided capitalism, keiretsu networks, export‑led growth, oil shocks, the 1980s bubble, and the "lost decades." It links policy, institutions, and social change to Japan's rise and current challenges.Part 2 shifts to practical insights. Guests who live and work in and around Japan share how firms make decisions, how kaizen and relationships function, how demographics reshape strategy, and what foreign executives consistently misunderstand about the Japanese market.--------⁠Join Leonardo on Patreon for Podcast Archive and Bonus episodes (100+ episodes). ⁠--------With guests:Massimiliano Colonna – Director of Communications, Brookings Institution Governance Studies.

 In this episode, we'll focus on new onset refractory status epilepticus or NORSE, and its closely related presentation, febrile and infection related epilepsy syndrome, known as FIRES. NORSE and FIRES are clinical presentations where the evidence is limited, stakes are high, and treatment often has to begin before the diagnosis is clear. They also raise broader questions about how neurology can respond to rare but catastrophic illness, including how patients, families and researchers can work together to move the field forward. For an update on NORSE and FIRES, we spoke with Dr. Howard Goodkin and Dr. Larry Hirsch. Dr. Goodkin is the Shure professor of neurology and pediatrics at University of Virginia. Dr. Larry Hirsch is a professor of neurology at Yale University. They were interviewed by Dr. Ifrah Zawar, assistant professor of neurology at the University of Virginia.  Disclosures: Dr. Hirsch has received consultation fees for advising from Ceribell, Natus, & UCB and honoraria for speaking/training from Neuropace & Natus.

Jack Seavor McDonald Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Jack Seavor McDonald. Jack is an actor and an improv player in television & film. In this episode, we get to know Jack, and why he decided to become an actor. He shares stories of growing up and always finding a way to make people laugh. Jack tells the story of the unique way that he was able to join the SAG / AFTRA actors union, and how he raised the funds to pay for it. We also discuss Jack's experiences on the sets of some of the projects he has worked on, including Hacks, the TV show TED, Never Have I Ever, and my personal thoughts on both Hacks and Young Sheldon. Jack breaks down what it is like to work with and for Mindy Kaling, as well as working with and for Seth MacFarlane. I dive deep into what would make Jack get into improv, and what he has gained from it. You can find Jack and his improv group performing around the Los Angeles area as HEAT WAVE. Look for Jack on all of your favorite tv shows; as well as his new film "Ick". Bonus points if you can sneak up and scare the daylights out of him on Halloween!

What a treat for the start of the year! We held Carl Tart's eyes open Clockwork Orange style and forced him to watch Clipped! The dramatized retelling of the Donald and Shelly Sterling scandal that resulted in him being forced to sell the LA Clippers. Is Carl arguably the most notable Clippers fan in the world? Yes. Did we make him watch potentially the worst thing to happen in his entire fandom of the franchise… welp now that I'm writing it… also yes. But was he a good sport about it? Absolutely!We chat Clippers history, his Carl's personal fandom story, sports scandals and how they are depicted in general, if V. Stiviano is a sports folk hero, the performances, Lavar Burton and of course… the casting of the Clippers players.Catch Carl as a writer on Saturday Night Live (am I spelling that right? We haven't heard of it) and also as a cohost of Hollywood Handbook, XoXo Bada Bings Sopranos Podcast and of course on stage at UCB in NYC and LA!Hosts Carl TartGeoff Kerbis Max SingerRich Inman

In a special episode of TSC Now, Dan interviews Bridgett Langstaff, mom to Jude, a 17-year-old living with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and epilepsy. Bridgett shares Jude’s diagnosis story and how they ultimately made their way to Mass General Hospital and Dr. Thiele. She also talks about Jude’s ongoing struggle with seizures, from infantile spasms as a baby, to partial seizures, to tonic clonic seizures as he started going through puberty, and she details their journey to achieve seizure control through multiple medications, the ketogenic diet, and surgery. Finally, she shares what it’s like as a parent to witness a prolonged seizure (one lasting longer than 3 minutes) and how and when they decide to administer rescue medication to stop a seizure. This podcast was sponsored by UCB Biopharma, in an effort to raise awareness of prolonged seizures. UCB was not involved in the content development for this podcast. UCB is currently running the STARS study, a clinical trial researching an investigational medication for people who experience prolonged epileptic seizures (i.e. lasting more than 3 minutes) who are over the age of 12. The STARS Study is testing an inhaler containing an investigational drug that has been designed to potentially stop a prolonged seizure once it has begun. If you are interested in learning more, visit www.starsepilepsystudy.com to learn more or contact a Patient Navigator to better understand this study at 470-523-2502.

We're starting the New Year with our good friend the talented and stunningly transparent Hillary Kane! I met Hillary through Billy Merritt (player with the original Upright Citizens Brigade) who created the BIT Comedy Network, https://bitcomedynetwork.com. Billy praised her leadership role at BIT, "Hillary is amazing, she's the COO, chief organizing officer. We would not have BIT without her." Hillary produces and edits these wonderful shows and does a fabulous job! She is currently living in San Antonio and we chatted about our favorite Westerns, and our love of the Alamo! She grew up in California and studied theatre and psychology but ended up as an attorney. She began classes at UCB and discovered that she could play improv 7 days a week! She studied with the legendary Ian Roberts who taught the flash memory skill which she still uses today. She is also the host of the podcast, "Shut Up, Gail" and has a really unique way of interviewing her guests. Hillary is a dynamic and generous spirit and I think you'll love her as much as I do!

Sydney Kane! Actor! Writer! Singer! Comedian! Her new show is called "Wife Material." ABOUT WIFE MATERIAL:  Sydney Kane was just dumped for not being "wife material." Desperate to figure out what wife material is, Sydney signs up for a drug trial for a magical pill that will help transform her into the perfect wife. The only side effect? Being transported into a dramatic interpretation of her love life: a one hour musical sitcom!  Sydney takes you on a PG-13, (leaning R) journey through the most universal experience there is: falling in love and then falling out and then falling back in. And then regretting it, and telling your friends you're done but then you're not. And then you're on your floor waiting for a text that never comes, so you get over it, and then you meet someone new. And you fall in love. Does this ever end? Will Sydney break out of her toxic dating cycle or stay in this endless loop? They say the only way to get over a break up is by breaking out into song and light choreo, so Sydney is giving that a shot. She's also taking those pills*. One thing is for sure: if Sydney has an audience there is nothing she won't do. See it all play out in Wife Material at Littlefield in Brooklyn December 1 & 2, 2025 and at SF Sketchfest January 25, 2026. *(WIFE MATERIAL IS NOT APPROVED BY THE FDA BUT RFK IS STILL TAKING A LOOK) CREDITS: Written and Performed by: Sydney Kane Producers: Bart Coleman, DTYF Productions Direction: Cassidy Kepp Music Direction and Arrangements: David Dabbon Music Production: Skyler Fortgang WHO: Sydney Kane, NYC-based actor/ comedian WHAT: Encore presentation of her fully sold-out comedic show, Wife Material WHERE: LITTLEFIELD, 635 Sackett St, Brooklyn, NY WHEN: December 1 & 2, 8pm (Ticket Links for listings: Dec 1 - Dec 2) About Sydney Kane:​​ Sydney Kane is an NYC based actor, singer, comedian, writer who has performed everywhere from off-off-off-barely Broadway to the big 9x16 iPhone screen.
