Show Notes: Jung Park, a Korean immigrant, faced a conflict between her passion for acting and her academic pursuits. She initially wanted to concentrate in visual arts but ultimately chose English and American Literature and Language, which she loved. Despite this, she was conflicted about pursuing his artistic dreams versus what was expected of her.  Joining AFTRA and Going into Law School  In her junior year, she auditioned for an open call search for an ABC after-school special about kids with HIV and AIDS, which led to her joining the Screen Actors Guild, renowned as "SAG-AFTRA."  After a year in Boston, she returned to California and had to choose between continuing acting, moving to LA, or going to law school. She auditioned for a talent agency in San Diego and was accepted into law school. A Stand-up Comedian at Law School While in law school, Jung began doing stand-up comedy in Sacramento and moved to San Francisco, working in law firms and doing stand-up comedy at night. She eventually opened her own law firm in San Francisco and took on numerous cases, including helping a Vietnamese woman avoid deportation for a felony she committed. Jung had wonderful mentors in law, including 70-year-old white men in plaintiff-side civil litigation. She turned down a position at a major law firm after being nominated for the American Ends of Court, which was a group of old white lawyers. Instead, she auditioned and got into a traveling theater program with Kaiser Permanente, which offered health insurance for actors. Pursuing Acting and Leaving Law Jung began her acting career in high schools, continuation schools, and juvenile detention centers, performing educational theater shows and counseling Q&As. She later moved to Southern California and focused on stand-up, sketch, and improv. She joined the La Troupe improv training program and worked at a plaintiff side civil litigation law office, where she worked on behalf of farm workers and other vulnerable individuals. In 2012, she grew tired of being a lawyer and opened a Speech and Debate Academy in Pasadena, California. The academy focuses on helping kids be empowered and find their voice. The academy has been around for 13 years and has participated in the Harvard speech and debate tournament. The pandemic hit, and Jung found fulfillment in coaching speech and running her business. She joined an acting class before the pandemic and enjoyed hobnobbing for coffee afterwards. However, during the pandemic, her teacher encouraged her students to start TikTok accounts and post videos related to their work. She had a sketch idea developed in their sketch writing class, which was set up as a GPS that tells driving directions with the Korean accent. A Career Shift to Screenwriting   Jung is now focusing on writing scripts and developing her content to elevate her unique voice. She has also joined Harvardwood, an organization of Harvard alums in the Hollywood industry, where she took a writing class and attended webinars. She is currently getting a director certificate through UCLA Extension and working on a couple of silly short films. One of her projects is a magical realism short story about an old Asian Tiger Mom visited by a mysterious pigeon. She plans to rewrite it as a short film script and act in it herself, as she can do the pigeon well. She is also considering renting out pigeons for TV or film to see how they move and what they could do. Jung grew up in the Mexican border town of Calexico, near Yuma. She talks about the transition to Harvard and experiencing culture shock. Her stand-up comedy often deals with her experiences growing up in a Mexican American border town and feeling more Latina than Korean. She talks about her family and how her father's paranoia fueled a lot of jokes. She enjoyed her stand-up and has been considering writing new material or trying it out on America's Got Talent. Her last performance was a staged play reading for a Jewish Arts Council group in San Santa Barbara, which was a fundraiser.    Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Jung, a self-professed word nerd, was accepted into a special graduate seminar led by Phil Fisher, the head of the English department. The seminar focused on close reading of novels, a subject Park was deeply interested in. Fisher warned that few undergrads would be accepted, and Jung was accepted into the seminar, which she found to be a valuable learning experience. The seminar helped her understand the meanings of the first few pages of a novel and the larger work. She has since used this knowledge to teach English classes and writing skills to students, demonstrating the importance of close reading and analysis in academic pursuits.  Timestamps: 03:15: Balancing Law and Art  07:50: Transition to Acting and Comedy  12:06: Establishing the Speech and Debate Academy  14:09: Re-entering Acting and Social Media Success  19:34: Current Projects and Future Aspirations  Links: Instagram handle: @momentswithjung  TikTok handle: @momentswithjung Linktree (shows links to all Jung's sites): https://linktr.ee/JungPark Speech and debate academy website for Nova 42: www.nova42.com Short story Freebird that reached Top 50, Launch Pad Prose Competition 2024 ,and is on the Coverfly Red list as #13 Drama Short Story (Prose) in the past year: https://writers.coverfly.com/projects/view/37d599e9-9323-4be6-8b60-d58eeb335c04/FREEBIRD Jung's IMDB profile:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2575833/ Featured Non-profit: The featured non-profit of this episode of The 92 Report is Generation recommended by Bonnie Theriault who reports:  "Hi.

Host Jenny engages with Lia Haberman, a creator economy expert, to unpack the role of influencer marketing in higher education. Fresh off a visit to the White House, Lia shares insights into the evolution of the creator economy, how influencers shape audience engagement, and actionable strategies for integrating influencer marketing into university communications.Key TakeawaysInfluencer Marketing vs. Creator Economy: Understand the difference between influencers promoting brands and the larger ecosystem enabling creators to thrive.Why Higher Ed Needs Influencers: Institutions can leverage influencers, including students, alumni, and faculty, to amplify messages authentically.Building Relationships with Influencers: Collaborate with influencers through budget-friendly approaches like campus events, content partnerships, or passion-driven projects.Start Small and Local: Many influencers with niche audiences, such as professors or student athletes, can create meaningful connections without hefty price tags.Stay Current: Keeping up with newsletters, books, and conferences helps higher ed marketers navigate the rapidly evolving influencer landscape.What Is Influencer Marketing?Lia Haberman defines influencer marketing as a brand's collaboration with influencers to promote its products or services to their audiences. She explains that this is a subset of the broader creator economy, which encompasses the platforms, tools, and businesses supporting influencers. While influencer marketing has evolved from simply posting product ads, its role remains vital in creating relatable and impactful connections.For higher ed, influencer marketing means leveraging students, alumni, and faculty to act as relatable amplifiers for the institution's messaging. Haberman notes that while traditional marketing can feel impersonal, influencers offer a genuine voice, fostering trust and engagement.Why Higher Ed Should Embrace InfluencersHigher education is notoriously slow to adopt new trends, but Lia emphasizes the benefits of integrating influencer marketing into university strategies:Reach Gen Z and Gen Alpha: These demographics trust influencers and prefer authentic, peer-led communication over institutional messaging.Evolve Beyond Celebrities: Influencers today include professionals, experts, and niche creators, making the strategy accessible to universities with diverse audiences.Build Relatable Content: Influencers excel at creating compelling content that resonates with their audience, often outperforming traditional advertising.Lia encourages institutions to think locally, identifying influencers within their community, such as star student-athletes, faculty with niche audiences, or alumni with strong online presences.Finding and Collaborating with InfluencersWhen it comes to sourcing influencers, Lia suggests the following:Social Listening: Observe who your students engage with online. Tools can help, but even manual research—like monitoring social media interactions—yields insights.Personal Outreach: Sliding into DMs with genuine compliments or proposals can open doors for collaboration.Creative Compensation: Not all partnerships require big budgets. Consider offering speaking opportunities, awards, or aligning with the influencer's passions to add value.For example, a university might work with a prominent alumni influencer to create content showcasing campus life. The collaboration doesn't have to break the bank—highlighting shared values or giving access to unique resources can be enough.Influencer Marketing on a BudgetHigher ed marketers often face budget constraints, but Lia stresses that great partnerships are still possible. Micro-influencers or creators with smaller, engaged followings can be affordable and impactful. Additionally, repurposing influencer-created content for institutional social media channels can stretch limited resources.Institutions can also look internally for influencers. Professors with expertise, athletes, or even enthusiastic students can act as authentic voices for the university. Lia highlights examples like Stephen Nedorazek, an Olympian and Penn State student whose collaboration with the university has amplified its reach.Staying Informed in a Rapidly Evolving SpaceLia recommends staying current through newsletters, books, and conferences. For beginners, she suggests resources like her own newsletter, In Case You Missed It, as well as other thought leaders like Rachel Karten and Lindsay Gamble. Regularly attending events like VidCon or VidSummit can also provide inspiration and insights into the latest trends.Guest Name: Lia Haberman, Creator Economy Expert | Advisor | EducatorGuest Socials:LinkedInXInstagramBlueskyTikTok Guest Bio: Lia Haberman is a distinguished Creator Economy expert and author of the best selling ICYMI newsletter — a must read for anyone in the social marketing space.She's been tapped for her social media and creator insights by brands such as Google, Robert Half and AT&T, she was invited to attend the first ever Creator Economy Conference at the White House in 2024, and has led live creator workshops for clients such as YouTubers Colin and Samir, Macy's and Riot Games.She teaches social media and influencer marketing at UCLA Extension; has created custom lectures for visiting students from Zhejiang University, SKEMA Business School and ESIC University; and was asked to speak to a delegation as part of the U.S. Department of State's International Visitor Leadership Program at UCLA.

Our guest today is one of the most enthusiastic people I know on the topic of ERM! She is Carrie Frandsen, the system-wide ERM Director of the University of California. She's also a RIMS CRMP Commissioner. [2:48] Carrie is here to talk about all things ERM. Whether you want to build a program from the start or you want to enhance an existing program, this is the mind that you want to tap into! We are thrilled that she's here. Let's get to it! [3:03] Carrie Frandsen, Welcome to RIMScast! [3:13] Carrie says she is a true ERM geek! With enterprise risk management you need the ability to think organization-wide. [3:25] Not just to think organization-wide but you need to be able to think about the world and how things that are changing in the world, like politics, economics, and sociological changes, impact your organization. Then you have to get other people excited about that. [3:42] You need to be able to partner with people inside your organization, like internal audit, compliance, and health and safety, all the different groups that are second-line, and help them get excited about building an enterprise-wide view of risks across the organization. [4:03] Once you've got your second line of defense, you can build that risk committee to democratize risks across the organization. Everybody can see the risks in their silo and how things impact each other across different units. [4:36] Carrie says the primary goal of enterprise risk management is to enhance an organization's ability to anticipate and mitigate risks effectively while maximizing those opportunities for value creation. [4:49] ERM helps organizations make more risk-informed decisions. It helps improve resilience and removes obstacles to achieving strategic objectives. [5:06] ERM is part of the governance and management of an organization. Know what could impact you from outside the organization as well as things that are changing in your policies, procedures, and processes. Make sure those are effective to continue achieving your objectives. [5:37] ERM can provide an early warning on risks and the effectiveness of controls. When you're using ERM in decision-making, it can help you to challenge assumptions before decisions are made. It can help you to set the frame for the decision and help you consider the alternatives. [6:02] ERM can help you ensure that appropriate actions are taken to reduce your risks. It helps the organization to learn and adapt. [6:14] Healthcare organizations do root cause analysis, a good risk assessment technique to figure out how to make negative outcomes not happen again. There are a lot of risk assessment techniques that can help you, depending on the situation your organization is working on. [6:42] Culture is how things are done. A risk-aware culture is essential for a successful ERM implementation. It fosters an environment where risk is openly discussed and employees feel comfortable in identifying and reporting potential risks without fear of repercussions. [7:08] This allows organizations to address issues proactively before they escalate. If you have a risk-aware culture, risks and risk assessments are integrated into decision-making and risk is considered at all levels of decision-making from strategic planning to operational activities. [7:29] This helps to ensure that risk is a key factor in every management decision. Employees can take ownership of risk management. [7:38] The University of California has a motto: “ERM means Everyone's a Risk Manager.” Individuals doing their day-to-day work in their area of expertise are the ones who know best what their risks are and how to manage their risks. [7:58] Our role as risk managers is to support these employees by giving them training in ERM, and risk assessment tools, and letting them talk to other people about risks that may impact them that aren't in their area. That distributed approach enhances the effectiveness of ERM. [8:18] A risk-aware culture promotes continuous learning where lessons from past incidents are shared and used to improve future risk management practices. [8:36] At the top level of ERM are the board and leadership. They set the tone for the organization's risk culture. They need to understand the dynamic risk environment in which the organization operates. They need to know of rising risks so they can make good decisions. [9:06] At the day-to-day level, where the work happens, is the risk owner. That's the person with the accountability and authority to manage that risk. [9:18] The business unit level is where risk management and control processes take place. An organization's risk is inseparably connected to its objectives. The responsibility for managing risk can't lie with anyone other than the person who's responsible for achieving those objectives. [9:36] Good risk management is everybody's responsibility. What does the Risk Manager do? The risk leader provides the infrastructure, tools, coaching, leadership, and resources. [10:08] Resources can be anything from software to workshops to all sorts of things to help people identify, manage, monitor, and report on the risks. [10:20] Risk managers can champion a risk-intelligent culture across the organization. Risk-intelligent culture is a term coined by Deloitte in a white paper. [10:46] Risk managers are the ones who champion the integration of ERM into existing policies, structures, and processes. They get the risk committees going, they make sure that the issues get escalated to leadership, and that policies, procedures, and controls are improved. [11:07] Risk Managers facilitate proactive risk thinking. They conduct risk sensing and report on emerging risks. An ERM person is a generalist. They don't manage a particular area but check in with everybody about rising risks and report that information. They have people tracking risks. [11:55] We have a new political landscape and changes in society. There are always new health issues arising. As long as there's somebody in an organization paying attention to conditions, the ERM person's role is to make sure those things get considered at the leadership level. [12:19] A Risk Manager can provide a structured discipline for the consideration of risk in decision-making. They can lead risk workshops. They can make sure a risk-assessment process is built into regular management meetings. They can support risk-mitigation activities. [12:46] Risk Managers can support mechanisms to provide timely risk information to decision-makers. [12:54] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! Hub International continues its Ready for Tomorrow Series with RIMS. On February 20th, they will host “Ready for the Unexpected? Strategies for Property Valuation, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity in 2025”. [13:14] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [13:25] RIMS is now accepting nominations for all awards other than Risk Manager of the Year 2025.

Bland Memorial Award, the Chapter of the Year Award, the Rising Risk Professional Award, the Risk Management Hall of Fame, and the Cristy Award.

Stuart Award which recognizes excellence in risk management in Canada. Links are in this episode's show notes. [14:43] Back to the Interview about all things ERM with Carrie Frandsen!  [15:01] For ERM success, you need to have a framework for taking the steps to integrate risk management more into your existing activities and functions. Organizations are already managing risk. ERM gets more people to consider and talk about risk in their decision-making. [15:34] ERM success factors include strong leadership buy-in, a culture of risk awareness, and open communication. [15:45] When you're getting started, you want to develop a clear ERM vision. Start where you are and build your business case and your implementation roadmap. [15:58] Your implementation roadmap starts with a gap analysis between what you are doing well with risk management and where you can make improvements. The vision is what you see in five years of doing X. [16:17] Based on those areas where you want to improve your ERM approach, you build your business case and lay out your implementation roadmap. Bring it to your leadership and that improves your leadership buy-in. [16:32] Then you need to define your enterprise risk management roles and accountabilities. They're often straightforward. The person in charge of an area is the risk owner of that area. Just take the time to define those roles. [16:50] Sometimes when you map out risk accountabilities, you see that for some enterprise risks, there's not one person who's responsible for it because it covers a few areas or reaches across the whole organization. [17:08] The pandemic was a good example of that. It doesn't fit in any one area of responsibility. Building accountability for things that go across areas is always a challenge. [17:21] Consider how you will develop your risk assessment and mitigation resources for risk owners. What are they already doing and what tools do they need? That's where you engage those risk owners and work directly with them to provide them with resources. [17:40] Make ERM an integral part of your operational processes and decision-making. Look at your existing processes and meetings to see where you can build risk assessment into them. You can't be everywhere. You want to build that in as a normal part of processes. [18:04] Ensure that the organization and its people are regularly monitoring risks and learning from those experiences. [18:21] As you get started with ERM, get your hands on some material and read about enterprise risk management. Get some familiarity with it. You want to become a trusted advisor and be that ERM expert as much as you can. [18:44] To begin doing ERM, engage leadership, risk owners, and your second line of defense. Start doing your gap analysis which starts with conversations. Ask leadership what they hope and expect from enterprise risk management. [19:03] When talking with leadership, you generally want to work to become a trusted advisor. You want to focus on the biggest risks. Ask people what they care about and what they're working on. That will help inform assessing your organization's current ERM capabilities. [19:24] In your ERM plan, figure out how to integrate ERM into strategic decision-making and everyday management actions. Identify where, when, and how, key decisions are made. Work to embed risk assessment into those decision-making activities. [19:47] Carrie suggests using a decision quality chain. Form a risk committee. Risk committees facilitate the identification, analysis, and mitigation of risks. You want people that are at the director level and the same reporting level. [20:09] You want a representative from every area for an enterprise-wide view. You want a good forum where people can bring up their issues or concerns, build a shared understanding of the organization's risks, and provide recommendations to leadership on significant issues. [20:35] Effective risk governance depends on timely and relevant risk information so your exposures can be monitored and managed. Information needs to be communicated to the right people at the right time and in the right ways for people to make risk-informed decisions. [21:02] Carrie recommends using new ERM material. In addition to ISO 31000, ISO recently published Risk Management — A Practical Guide that helps with the steps of implementing ERM. Norman Marks has a helpful blog and wrote a book, World-Class Risk Management. [21:43] Carrie used World-Class Risk Management as an assignment in her ERM Certificate program classes through UCLA Extension. She teaches the first two classes, The Foundations of Enterprise Risk Management, and The Designing and Implementing an ERM Program. [22:16] Carrie's partner Carol teaches the Advanced Techniques class. [22:33] The ERM Certificate Program aligns with the RIMS-CRMP so that once you've taken all the classes, you're well-positioned to sit for and pass the RIMS-CRMP.

The Washington Monthly called him as “one of America's most important journalists.” The Portland Oregonian said his work equals the original muckrakers: Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens. Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trump's was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination. His reporting over the next year led to the Making of Donald Trump, published around the world in English and German on August 2, 2016, by Melville House. The San Jose Mercury recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19 The Mercury hired him as a staff writer. Within weeks his byline made the front page. Over the next four decades his award-winning investigations appeared in that paper, the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times. Since 2009 Johnston has taught the business regulation, property and tax law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law. He previously taught writing, reporting and magazine writing at the University of Southern California and UCLA Extension. He has lectured on four continents about journalistic techniques, ethics, legal theory and tax policy.

Michael Jann is an Emmy-nominated late-night comedy writer for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon for over two decades. Michael teaches screenwriting at UCLA-Extension. He co-wrote and co-produced the short animated film Bug Therapy (www.bugtherapy.film). It's a story about a mosquito who faints at the sight of blood. This story is deeply personal: Mike's son suffered a severe mental-breakdown at age 29, resulting in hospitalizations and psych wards. His ongoing recovery (fingers crossed) has fueled Mike's passion to fight the stigma of mental illness. Mike lives in Austin, Texas with his wife and writing partner Michele Jourdan. Michele's the funny one; Mike's the pretty one. In Bug Therapy, Citronella, a mosquito who faints at the sight of blood, nervously waits outside her first group therapy session, while the Pill Bug therapist, Dr. Pill tries to calm a neurotic group of bugs, each suffering from a mental-health issue: An OCD germaphobic Fly freaks when he runs out of hand sanitizer. A Dragonfly couple struggle with co-dependency; she's literally on top of him. A Grasshopper, addicted to coffee, is so jumpy, he launches himself in mid-sentence. A Praying Mantis who doesn't pray because she thinks she is God. A terrified Spider is deathly afraid of -- spiders. And, a perfectly-camouflaged Stick Bug complains that no one ever "sees" him. Throughout all this, Citronella battles her urge to flee - while Dr. Pill implores her to share her "embarrassing" problem.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin Smulison interviews Elise Farnham about how ERM has changed, how new policies like the SEC climate disclosures influence the ERM landscape, and Elise's risk philosophy. They discuss whether organizational leaders are placing more value on ERM programs, and the biggest challenge for a risk practitioner to turn theory into practice.

On October 9th and 10th, Chris Hansen returns to deliver Fundamentals of Insurance. He's very popular in the Workers' Comp space. Other dates for the Fall and Winter are available on the Virtual Workshops Calendar of RIMS.org/virtualworkshops.  [2:27] Interview! We will be chatting with Elise Farnham of Illumine Consulting. Elise is very well known among the RIMS membership as she has been one of our instructors for the past 30 years! [2:43] Elise will be leading two upcoming courses for us here at RIMS. On September 25th and 26th, we've got Applying and Integrating ERM and on October 3rd and 4th, we have Fundamentals of Risk Management. [2:57] Elise will let us in on what it takes to apply and integrate ERM into an organization's framework and operations and we will talk about her ERM philosophies. Elise Farnham, welcome to RIMScast! [3:24] This year, Elise celebrated her 51st year in the risk and insurance industry. It's been an amazingly great career. She started in claims in the mid-seventies. She got involved with RIMS when she started working with large corporate clients in the late seventies and early eighties. [3:52] Elise took an interest in what RIMS was working to accomplish, reducing claims, all while she was working for a claims management firm. Elise has been working with RIMS since 1995. [4:51] The RIMS ERM Conference 2024 will be on November 18th and 19th in Boston, Massachusetts. [5:06] Elise became aware of the concept of ERM in the late nineties. She thought it would be a difficult job. ERM professionals have grown, frameworks have been developed, and we've seen some companies that lacked ERM fail spectacularly. [5:44] It has become evident that every company has to take the resources and strengths that they have, look at their entire risk picture, and turn what could be a bad situation into something positive for their organization. [6:17] Elise talks a lot in her classes about how to convert a problem into an opportunity that might help an organization. ERM has changed a lot in the last five years. Justin and Elise comment on how the pandemic may have helped companies realize the importance of ERM. [6:42] All of a sudden, companies were faced with a type of loss that came out of the blue. COVID-19 was the “black swan” that we will remember and write about for years to come. [7:00] How companies dealt with it, the resources they had to use, and changes to their work processes were all things that ERM considers. [7:14] Elise Farnham will be leading Applying and Integrating ERM on September 25th and 26th. [7:27] How does the SEC climate disclosure announcement change or influence the ERM landscape? It will impact how companies report their exposure. It will probably require some new technology to bring forward all of the information they will have to submit. [7:53] Elise thinks that will be a challenge for companies because there is a rule they will have to follow. Collecting data from every bit of an organization will be a significant challenge. It may help organizations use a good ERM program. It requires penetrating the silos to follow the law. [8:33] ERM will help companies to see the cumulative effect of risk. What if two bad things happen at one time? Getting more companies to have an ERM program will have a positive effect. It will be a lot of work to get there. [9:02] Elise has always been an optimist. She always tries to look at how this can benefit us. Perhaps that's why she has embraced ERM. It's not about how we can get hurt but how we can use a bad situation to make things better for the organization. She knows how difficult it can be. [9:55] Elise tells risk managers, “You don't want to be the one to go in and say, ‘We just lost all of this.' You don't want that to happen. That's a horrible situation to be in.” [10:12] It's much better to say, ‘I just saved you this much money because we have a policy in place, our people all know what to do, and this has never happened to us as it did to that other company.'” That's where Elise wants her risk managers to be. [10:46] Elise believes that today, organizational leaders put more value on ERM programs. The catch is understanding the amount of work that has to go into one. It takes resources and people to explore the organization, down to the risk owner, who may be on the factory floor. [11:17] The risk owner may not have risk management experience. Almost everybody has the philosophy that “it couldn't happen to us.” Understanding that something bad could happen and preparing for it in advance will be a challenge for them. [11:42] The C-Suite understands the value of ERM. It's a matter of applying the resources and following through. In her classes, Elise goes through the steps to take along the way. The feedback she gets is often, “Whew! That will take us a lot of time and effort!” They got the point! [12:08] It's RIMS Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On September 12th, HUB International returns to deliver the third part of their Ready for Tomorrow series, Pivot and Swerve: Staying Agile During Shifting Market Dynamics. [12:26] Also on September 12th is a complimentary webinar presented by the RIMS-CRMP and UCLA Extension, The Many Routes to Becoming an Enterprise Risk Management Practitioner. [12:36] On September 19th, Origami Risk returns to deliver Leveraging Integrated Risk Management For Strategic Advantage. On September 26th, Archer returns to discuss The Future of RMIS: Beyond Traditional Approaches. [12:54] On October 3rd, Diligent will host Mastering ERM: Leveraging Internal and External Risk Factors for Strategic Advantage. On October 10th, Zurich returns to present Long-Term Property Strategies for a Resilient Future. [13:11] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. As always, registration is complimentary for RIMS members.  [13:23] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal is to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals. That is achieved, in part, by a collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [13:37] Whether you want to apply for a grant, participate in the Risk Manager on Campus program, or just learn more about Spencer, visit SpencerEd.org. [13:47] On September 12th, 2024, we look forward to seeing you at the Spencer Funding Their Future Gala at The Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. Purchase your tickets in advance because there is no guaranteed seating! [14:03] Our recent guest from Episode 293, Lilian Vanvieldt-Gray, will be our honoree. [14:09] Lilian is the Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Alliant Insurance Services and she will be honored for her valuable contributions to supporting the future of risk management and insurance. [14:26] That was a great episode, so after you finish this one, please go back and listen to Episode 293. [14:32] Let's Return to Our Interview with Elise Farnham! [15:14] Elise loves this business, and helping risk managers do a better job. It's very fulfilling. [15:51] The philosophical aspect of risk management is very logical. The real-world work part of it is almost drudgery, pulling information from everywhere within an organization, making people understand that they could have a problem if we don't take care of it. [16:16] Thinking of combining several problems at once is hard for some people to imagine. Bringing people into the real world of risk is one of the biggest problems; getting them to understand that, yes, this could happen to them. [16:40] Elise's family members have called her for advice after some unforeseen event, saying “I didn't know this could happen!” Yet, the stats are out there. The stories are out there. It's just, “It could never happen to me!” Risk managers are still fighting that battle quite heavily. [17:13] Elise will also lead the virtual workshop, Fundamentals of Risk Management on October 3rd and 4th, 2024. [17:42] Elise first became involved with large corporate accounts in 1987. She worked with risk managers and saw how they had to identify risk, analyze that risk, come up with a solution for it, and then implement the solution. Those are the basics of risk management. [18:03] The focus was always on hazard risk, not on opportunities that might be developed. [18:10] Elise took the Associate in Risk Management (ARM) program, which helped her to define that knowledge and to understand better what her clients were going through. [18:21] Then RIMS developed a program about risk management, providing fundamentals. Elise thinks the fundamentals are more important than ever, now, as there are a lot of new people in the industry, fresh out of college. They know the theory but haven't seen it applied. [18:43] In her workshops, Elise always tries to apply this to the real world so that the day they go back to the office they have something they can apply immediately to their organization. [19:11] What risk managers learn in Elise's workshops will change what they do in their organization. That's a big challenge. [19:50] What Elise has noticed from teaching risk managers is their energy. They are ready to go. They are thirsty for this knowledge. They know they have concerns. They know there are some things they could do better. [20:08] They just need the resources in their brains to make that happen. Elise talks to them about that. You can only make decisions based on what you know. If you don't know something, you can't include that resource in your decision process. [20:27] Elise says it's great to see the wheels start to turn while she's teaching. All of a sudden, the aha moment hits. They have a strong desire to go back and do good things. It's a compliment when they tell her they have a list of things to do when they get back to the office. [20:55] They want to have an impact within their organization. They are there to learn something new that will help their organizations. Elise loves teaching with folks who are like that. They are like sponges. It's fun to facilitate discussions with them about how to manage risk. [21:58] Justin says it has been such a delight to catch up with Elise Farnham. The next two courses Elise teaches are Applying and Integrating ERM on September 25th and 26th, and Fundamentals of Risk Management on October 3rd and 4th. The links are in the show notes. [22:17] Justin looks forward to more workshops hosted by Elise Farnham and thanks her for being such a wonderful instructor.

Alise will lead Applying and Integrating ERM on September 25th and 26th and December 4th and 5th and Fundamentals of Risk Management on October 3rd and 4th.

How companies dealt with it, the resources they brought to bear, and the changes to their work processes were all things that ERM considers. — Elise Farnham   I've always been an optimist. I always try to look at how this can benefit us. Perhaps that's why I have embraced ERM so much. — Elise Farnham   I just love this business and I love what we do. I particularly love to help risk managers do a better job. It's very fulfilling for me. — Elise Farnham   The stats are out there. The stories are out there. It's just, “It could never happen to me!” I think risk managers are still fighting that battle quite heavily. — Elise Farnham   The most important thing that I have noticed from teaching risk managers is their energy. They are ready. They are thirsty. They know they have some concerns. They know there are some things they could do better. They just need the resources. — Elise Farnham

The Washington Monthly called him as “one of America's most important journalists.” The Portland Oregonian said his work equals the original muckrakers: Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens. Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trump's was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination. His reporting over the next year led to the Making of Donald Trump, published around the world in English and German on August 2, 2016, by Melville House. The San Jose Mercury recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19 The Mercury hired him as a staff writer. Within weeks his byline made the front page. Over the next four decades his award-winning investigations appeared in that paper, the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times. Since 2009 Johnston has taught the business regulation, property and tax law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law. He previously taught writing, reporting and magazine writing at the University of Southern California and UCLA Extension. He has lectured on four continents about journalistic techniques, ethics, legal theory and tax policy.

In this engaging episode, we delve into the creative processes and philosophies of Music Composer & Music Producer Dario, who emphasizes the importance of evolving with the ever-changing sync industry. Dario discusses the significance of constantly acquiring new instruments and plugins to stay inspired and invigorate his creative process. He highlights his preference for tactile interaction with real instruments, which often sparks new ideas and unique sounds that samples cannot replicate. The conversation also covers the potential impact of AI on music, with Dario advocating for maintaining the human touch in creation, believing that AI cannot fully replicate the authenticity and emotional depth of hands-on music-making. Additionally, the episode explores Dario's experimental EP "Anomaly," a purely artistic project blending organic and synthetic elements, showcasing his ability to push creative boundaries without commercial constraints. He emphasizes the value of collaboration, working with lyricists and other musicians to enhance his projects and bring out the best in each endeavor. Reflecting on the importance of both formal education and self-taught skills, Dario encourages musicians to master core skills while exploring new technologies and techniques. Tune in to discover how Dario's insights can inspire and elevate your own musical journey. Guest Bio: Dario is composer, producer, song-writer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles. He has a certificate in Film Scoring at UCLA Extension in Los Angeles, a bachelor degree in “Music Sciences and Technologies” at Università degli Studi di Milano, and earned several diplomas in Arrangement, Theory, and Guitar Performance from many prestigious classical and modern music academies in Milano, such as the Conservatory “G. Verdi”, CPM and NAM. After many years of touring across Europe, the US and Asia, Dario started writing and producing music for visual media. His work has ranged from writing and performing the theme for Ubisoft's best selling video game ‘Rocksmith', to composing the theme songs for Ambie-nominated podcasts “Bunga Bunga” and “Do No Harm” (Wondery), as well as scoring a variety of independent films, documentaries, and television shows like Hulu Original documentary "We Live Here: The Midwest" and National Geographic's "Called to the Wild.” About the Hosts: We're Sonnet Simmons and John Clinebell, 2 indie artists who have found success and creative fulfillment through licensing our music for ads, TV shows and films.  We were once so disheartened and discouraged that our music wasn't being noticed or valued through traditional methods.
