Just because it's November doesn't mean we still can't enjoy the summer. In this episode of Still Loading I am joined by Ray Barnholt from the No More Whoppers podcast (and occasionally Retronauts) and Andrew Kinsey from The EXP Point to talk about the summer of 1975, specifically the summer as seen in the game Boku no Natsuyasumi 2: Umi no Bouken-hen also known as My Summer Vacation 2. Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 is a game unlike anything else that I've played. I had heard about the game a few years back on Retronauts (which Ray was on and is the one who spoke about it) and was curious about what it was like. But the main problem is that the game was never localized in english, at least officially. And then earlier this year I found out about a fan translation from a Hilltop Works that came out in November of 2023 so I figured it was finally time to dive in. Ray, Andrew and I break down whats great about this game, why it makes us all feel so nostalgic and overall what we got out of our experiences. Which summer are you nostalgic for?

Returning-generation farmer and community herbalist Bianca “Umi” Anthony shares how she's reclaiming seven acres of her family's 1950s land in rural Bertie County, NC—reviving legacy, building Seed of Life Farm, and raising her three kids “no screens” while they learn to grow. We talk medicinal herbs and cut flowers, creating a healing space for community retreats, the realities of solo stewardship and mentorship, and why a deer fence and basic infrastructure matter for the first growing season. Umi invites listeners into a vision of generational healing rooted in the soil.

1074. Magia liczb w życiu i twórczości Bolesława Prusa / dr Agata Grabowska-Kuniczuk

Wykład dr Agaty Grabowskiej-Kuniczuk w ramach Festiwalu Nauki w Warszawie [27 września 2025 r.]Liczby w życiu i twórczości Prusa odgrywają ważną rolę. O ich wadze i znaczeniu świadczą jego powieści czy kroniki, a przede wszystkim dotąd niepublikowane notatki twórcze doświadczonego pisarza. Aleksander Głowacki, znany później jako Bolesław Prus, po ukończeniu szkoły średniej (gimnazjum) w Lublinie w 1866 r., rozpoczął studia w Szkole Głównej Warszawskiej na Wydziale Matematyczno-Fizycznym, ale z różnych przyczyn ich nie ukończył. Umiłowanie matematyki-królowej nauk pozostało mu jednak do końca życia. Po latach jako członek powstałego w 1907 r. warszawskiego Towarzystwa Biblioteki Publicznej (obecnie Biblioteka Miejska m. st. Warszawy) przychodził do czytelni i czas, który tam spędzał, poświęcał właśnie studiom nad matematyką.Pracując nad stylem swoich wypowiedzi, pisarz często sięgał po obliczenia matematyczne. Wykonywane przez Prusa działania i zestawienia liczbowe często spotykać można w notatkach, są przytaczane również w jego kronikach czy powieściach. W swych notesach (tych o kompozycji i tych schyłkowych, o rozmaitej treści) np. wielokrotnie podliczał wierszówkę (najczęściej za przekazane do druku kroniki), sumował bieżące wydatki i wysokość zadłużenia z wyszczególnieniem, komu i ile był winien, wreszcie, jakie kwoty przeznaczał na pomoc innym lub próbował pozyskać na szczytny cel (np. zbiórka funduszy na budowę filharmonii w Warszawie w 1901 r.). Skrupulatnie też liczył i dozował krople bromu, waleriany i centigramy jodu (dawki leków odnotowane w notesie z 1901 r.), które zażywał na swoje różne dolegliwości.Wiele danych liczbowych można znaleźć także na kartach jego powieści. Przykładem wykorzystania arytmetyki w twórczości Prusa jest choćby jeden z jego najsławniejszych z utworów – Lalka. Z jej kart dowiadujmy się np. ile lat ma Ignacy Rzecki i kto jest starszy: on czy Stanisław Wokulski? Ile lukrecji można było kupić za grosz w Sklepie Mincla? Ile kosztują kalosze „z literkami” (monogramem) w sklepie Wokulskiego, a ile mogły kosztować gdzie indziej? Za jaką sumę została sprzedana klacz barona Krzeszowskiego? Ile Wokulski wyłożył na wykupienie serwisu posagowego panny Izabeli Łęckiej? Wreszcie: ile wniósł do zakładanej spółki handlowej? Spotykamy tam również informacje na temat ówczesnych miar i wag, a także daty ważnych wydarzeń historycznych, na tle których toczą się losy bohaterów.Liczby były dla pisarza odrębnym gatunkiem wypowiedzi, który ma „siły i własności ilościowe”, jak zapisał w jednym ze swych ostatnich notesów o kompozycji.dr Agata Grabowska-Kuniczuk – filolog, dr nauk humanistycznych, adiunkt w Instytucie Badań Literackich PAN. Historyk literatury i edytorka tekstów XVIII i XIX wieku, współpracowała m.in. przy edycji krytycznej pism Bolesława Prusa oraz „Dzieł zebranych” i „Listów zebranych” Elizy Orzeszkowej. Autorka opracowań krytycznych i artykułów poświęconych literaturze drugiej połowy XIX wieku. Jej zainteresowania obejmują twórczość Prusa, biografistykę, literaturę okolicznościową i użytkową oraz edytorstwo naukowe.

„Brak sprawiedliwości jest korzeniem chorób społecznych” – napisał Leon XIV w pierwszej adhortacji Dilexi te, apelując, by Kościół odnowił w sobie miłość czynu wobec ubogich.„Nie można oddzielać wiary od miłości do ubogich” – przypomina papież Leon XIV w swej pierwszej adhortacji apostolskiej Dilexi te („Umiłowałem cię”). Dokument, podpisany 4 października, w święto św. Franciszka z Asyżu, kontynuuje nauczanie rozpoczęte przez papieża Franciszka.Leon XIV potępia „dyktaturę gospodarki, która zabija” i „kulturę odrzucenia”, która sprawia, że miliony ludzi żyją w nędzy. Wzywa do „zmiany mentalności”, by godność każdego człowieka była „szanowana teraz, a nie jutro”.Szczególną uwagę papież poświęca migrantom, przypominając, że „tam, gdzie świat buduje mury, Kościół buduje mosty”. Apeluje też o solidarność z kobietami dotkniętymi przemocą i o odrzucenie obojętności wobec cierpienia.„Istnieje nierozerwalna więź między naszą wiarą a ubogimi” – podkreśla Leon XIV.

[RERUN] [Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - C1E10: Mishmash Monday - vol. 1 (orig. rel. 05/22/17)

2025 Rerun Notes: In commemoration of this month release of the last-ever Mishmash Monday on Channel 1, I thought I'd rerun the first two installments of the series - both from all the way back in 2017 (Season 1 of the show). Therefore, all the obvious caveats on "absolutely atrocious production quality" and blah blah blah (especially on C1E10, the earlier of the two releases). Though this rerun is "officially" and "canonically" the first "Mishmash Monday" (free play) episode in Nerd Noise Radio history, it is really "Mishmash Monday in name only" as it wasn't truly a free play. Instead, it was designed with a very specific purpose and with each track housing a very specific meaning. Though I explain and elaborate fully in a 2019 special expanded rebroadcast of this episode we called "Chandlerfest", which I'll link to below, for now, the tl;dr is that this mixtape was actually made in commemoration for a friend who died entirely too young in Dec 2016, and whose absence we still feel regularly from here in 2025. When I got the news, I left work, went home, and turned my grief into tortured energy, and made this mixtape, with the design philosophy being to use the tracks and the particular arch of the track order to tell the story of the emotions of those of us left behind in his wake as we processed the news of his departure. With this being a 2017 episode, all the obvious caveats on "absolutely atrocious production quality" (especially episodes from the first half of 2017, which were even worse than those from the second half.) But content-wise, this early outing remains one of the most important episodes of Nerd Noise Radio....ever.

Superman (2025) Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it another confused entry into the DC Extended Universe pantheon of super hero films?! No!!! This is something else entirely! James Gunn (Peacemaker, Guardians of the Galaxy) takes on the D.C. Universe with Superman and is clearly building something new and different… but crucially; is it any good? It's made a butt-tonne of cash, and out-scored the Snyder-verse it is taking over from, but does it have a beating heart? There’s some division in the ranks over this one, with everyone having a very different approach to this film that is not just rebooting a universe, but attempting to wash away some of the bad vibes of 12 years of questionable decisions. The whole team is in for this with Dion and Jill in our legion of Doom and Quinny and Peta suiting up as the Justice Gang. You will believe a podcast can fly!!! Synopsis When Superman gets drawn into conflicts at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire Lex Luthor the opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of the way for good.

It was just a. It’s the best thing ever.  Dion  For like 30 seconds and then she was back to serving hot fresh chicken as fast.  Quinny  The the look on this young lady’s face, though, and she was like, OK, you want an Oporto burger? What?  Speaker 9  Yeah. Are you here for this?  Speaker 10  Sure.  Dion  Yeah, yeah. Look, you know, no, it’s not. It’s not me.

We all know these things. It’s fine. We’re not there to talk about this. We’re.  Quinny  I’m.  Speaker 5  Happy to talk about.  Dion  Superman, aren’t we focus. Focus back on this. We’re here to talk about Superman. Lex Luthor, Lois Lane and no one else.  Quinny  Right. OK, right.  Speaker 11  Quinny  Talking about the rest of the. Characters.  Dion  No, no, no, just those three. That’s it. OK, that’s what we agreed to right in the pre production meeting. Yeah, that you all attended. I sent you that invitation.  Speaker  Right.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, absolutely.  Dion  No, it’s.  Peta  A joke all of the notes we make, all the proof we do like, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, you’re right.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, it’s it’s 15 hours of. Yeah, it’s, it’s it’s 15 hours of prep work for each hour long show.  jill  The slide deck we built.  Speaker  So.  Dion  Shows doesn’t.  Speaker  It.  Quinny  Sometimes it does feel a bit.  jill  Don’t. You’re reminding me why I stopped doing Animaniacs.  Speaker 5  Ohh.  Quinny  I mean, you know, you’re not wrong.  Speaker 12  Yeah.  Dion  Can we focus on this? Come on, buddy. OK, guys, up here. Let’s go podcast. Alright.  Peta  Right.  Quinny  I’m I’m doing really important stuff.  Dion  We’re. Sick man. Yeah. All right. Last week we had the distinct pleasure of going to see Superman. We did. Water brothers. And. It was a big thing.  Speaker  Wasn’t it?  Quinny  That’s a big thing. How do we all feel?  Dion  Who’s the biggest super fan?  Quinny  Ohh, there’s a good question.  Dion  There here.  Quinny  Yeah. I’m. I’m. I’m big fan of Superman. Love the original 78 film. Probably was, I don’t know for for me, he’s always just been there because of things like super friends, you know? But. I don’t know. I don’t know whether I’d call myself a massive Superman fan, I don’t know.  jill  Yeah, I gotta say, not my favorite superhero. I’m a I’m a Batman girl.  Quinny  I I know this about you.  Dion  Right.  Speaker 9  Yeah. But Superman is there.  Dion  She likes some dark, dark, gritty and rich.  Speaker 12  Yeah.  Quinny  Not traumatised.  Dion  Not, not corn fed worthy and alien.  jill  Look, I do have a new boyfriend and his name is David Cornstein.  Dion  I also have.  jill  We haven’t met yet, but.  Speaker 12  Reviewed.  Dion  I also have a new boyfriend and that is the Star Wars fan David coins, so you know. Yes.  Quinny  Mm-hmm.  Speaker  Quinny  Yeah, David, David, corn sweat. Who said what? What would you like to build? And he said, give me a *******. Lego kit. Yeah, like he, he’s like I want a Superman Lego kit now, like.  Dion  Did you see? Did you see him on the lie detector test where they asked the question of which one would you prefer to do the sequel? The the sequels for Superman or to change and go to become the like into the Star Wars universe and?  jill  Go to Star Wars, yeah.  Dion  He was like.  jill  He’s like, well, they already have me on a contract for another Superman. So I’ll say yes to the Star Wars. Yeah, I’ll take both.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  Quinny  Good answer.  Dion  Peter. Peter, as a lifelong super fan.  Quinny  Mm-hmm.  Dion  Do you? Do you? Would you consider yourself the Superman, Stan?  Peta  I mean, Stan would be taking it a bit far. I I’m I’m not. I I don’t dislike Superman. I think. I mean, my first experience with Superman was the old opening title sequence from the old TV show. You know, and then well, is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Superman. Which was the only thing we knew about Superman for a little while. So when we played Superman and Wonder Woman.  Quinny  Hang on, which which old TV show? All right.  Peta  Superman could be a bird or a plane, or faster earth speeding bullet, and that was it. That’s all we had. We did not grow up with comics. We grew up with sound bites. And then Lewis and Clark, and he ain’t he ain’t no one Superman anymore, so I’m happy. I’m happy for a new Superman. I mean, I I, I you know. Yeah, I I was excited for Henry at the time but.  Quinny  Yes. No, what a ********.  Speaker  Peta  Wasn’t a fan of the dark?  Speaker 3  MHM.  Peta  The dark reboot. Didn’t some somebody who knows nothing really about the character just didn’t feel right to try to dark reboot? Superman didn’t didn’t really work for me, so I’ve I’ve I jumped off the Super train and.  Speaker 9  Hmm.  Quinny  So so you’re trying to tell me that you you weren’t big on Man of Steel, didn’t get into Batman versus Superman and then didn’t love Justice League? Is that what I’m hearing?  Peta  I didn’t watch Justice League. I didn’t watch Batman versus Superman because when it comes to DC movies, I wait for you guys to watch them and then you tell me if I should watch them. And that’s usually how it goes. Yeah. Wait, who was who was the one that was before Henry and like? 2000 and.  Speaker 11  Brandon, Ralph. Yes, Brandon. Ralph. Yeah.  Speaker  Peta  Yeah, yeah, I like chicks.  jill  I will die on that hill. Yeah, I loved that.  Peta  Movie. I like that movie. I saw it. I saw it like in an IMAX theatre in Minnesota or something.  Dion  Yeah. And it was also shot in Sydney.  jill  Yes, it was. And my my 6° of separation I don’t know how many degrees this makes it, but my father changed the traffic lights in the Sydney CBD to American traffic lights so they could film the scenes in the street.  Quinny  Nice. Yeah, right.  Dion  That’s definitely about 6:00 because he didn’t actually interact with anyone.  Speaker 11  He worked. He worked on the film. He did.  Quinny  Sure. We we did work on the.  Dion  Film it’s true, it’s true. So you gotta you’ve gotta count. Like, who was that then? Who was the person he spoke to that was closest to speaking to Brandon ramp?  Speaker 9  Work on the film. Yeah, I’ll let’s just say 3, that’s great.  Quinny  Great. Look, my degrees of separation with Brandon Ralph is one. I’ve met him. Yeah, he’s a very nice man. I really.  Dion  Queen, we’ve talked that.  Quinny  Liked that? He.  Speaker 11  I bet he’s.  Dion  That’s technically considered.  Quinny  He’s super ******* tall.  Dion  Yeah. OK. And he has vegan power.  Quinny  He does have amazing like.  Dion  Because he he’s part of the vegan police. No, wait. He got his head, then stripped.  Quinny  Yes, yes. Because he had cheese at some point, got some Scott Pilgrim.  Dion  That’s right. This is all Scott Pilgrim work. OK, fine. But he’s also got another DC superhero, hasn’t he? In the TV.  jill  Yeah, he’s been the.  Dion  Adam. Yeah. Anyway, more away from Superman. Don’t forget that that the the Superman movie.  Speaker 11  But he did replay.  jill  Superman in the Elseworlds stuff in.  Quinny  Yes. Yeah, he was the the Kingdom come version of Superman, which I ******* loved.  Speaker  Yes.  Dion  So the last time we saw Superman on screen was in the post credit sequence of Black Adam. You forgot about that one, didn’t you?  Speaker 11  Yes, we did. Nope, unfortunately.  Dion  Which was Henry Cavill’s reintroduction into the DC Universe, only to be told very politely. I hope by James Gunn. Nope. Go on. Go on a different direction. So yeah, man.  Speaker  Ohh yeah. Ouch.  Dion  Yeah, but first up though. Like, I mean before we.  Peta  He’s doing all right. He’ll be fine, OK?  Dion  Get too. Before we get too into it, do we have a a synopsis about this new Superman and do you have any requests of the type of accent that what should accent should Quinney be doing it in?  jill  I’ll do it on the timing news guy.  Peta  I was going to say manic tech bro, but yeah, no. We’ve we’ve had many tech bro recently so.  Quinny  Yeah, right. OK. OK, we, we got we got a musical thing on this one. Dion  No worries. Oh yeah, why not? There you go.  Speaker 13  Quinny  I can’t hear it, but I really want. To do when it. When it hits the its stride.  Speaker 13  When Superman gets drawn into conflict at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire Lex Luther the opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of the way for good will. Intrepid reporter Lois Lane and Superman’s 4 legged companion crypto be able to help him before it’s too late. Find out in Superman 2025.  Dion  I don’t give a **** the original music’s. Still banging? Yeah.  Peta  I mean that that that’s that. That’s the most fun **** accent we’ve had in a long time. It was barely even.  Quinny  Good.  Peta  Ship quinny. I don’t know.  Dion  Yeah. There we go. People are saying that’s that’s that’s one of your best.  Quinny  That was actually. Vaguely close to what I was aiming for. ******* terrifying.  Speaker 5  Yeah. All right, so.  Quinny  Yes. So here we are, James Gunn. After being ceremony unceremoniously booted from the Marvel Universe and then welcomed back to it so we can do. The end of his trilogy, but during that that brief period of booting was essentially said. Ohh well, if they don’t want you we we’ll give you like. All this other ****. And he then went and made Suicide Squad. And then. Was essentially given the keys to the Kingdom and said you can make your DC.  jill  I’ll tell you what you can fit so many James Gunn elements in this bad boy you’ve got. Kaiju size aliens. You’ve got a quirky, lovable animal. You’ve got deep cut comic book characters. You’ve got obscure version of a mainstream character and.  Speaker 3  Mm-hmm.  jill  The pistol resistance. The one shot fight sequence.  Quinny  Yes, yes, swoopy camera that does all of the the swooping Ness. Yeah, and lots of fisheye lens stuff.  jill  Not much. Snoopy ******* camera in this film. Yeah, besides the fight scene, a lot of swoopy camera.  Quinny  Yeah. So, yes, what do we do? We like James Gunn as a director. I look, I OK I do. I like James Gunn. I’m gonna say that. But feel free to tell me what you all think.  jill  I mean, I found all of the guardians of the Galaxy films very enjoyable. I do like his, you know, I guess you would call it his vision that he. Makes in his films, you know, he’s. Got a very. Clear aesthetic and it’s like a comedy slant on. Serious issues I guess, but also very heartfelt. Yeah, he tends to put a. Lot of himself in his movies and actually crypto is based on his dog.  Quinny  Yeah, who is very bad dog. Yeah, but I love him nonetheless.  jill  So yeah, I I like James Gunn films.  Speaker 2  Hmm.  Quinny  Pete, where are you at with our J?  Peta  No, I mean I I don’t have super strong feelings, but I don’t think I’ve ever been. Mad at them.  jill  Not even for the tweets that he’s trying to redeem himself from.  Peta  I would have to be reminded a a bit, but.  Dion  Or you can find them, but it’s someone who is like 20.  Peta  I was gonna say it’s like, well in the past. And he’s been like ohh, that was bad, right? Yes, he hasn’t. He hasn’t been like, sorry if you’re offended. No. No. OK, well, then that’s like, people make mistakes when they’re young.  Speaker  Yes.  jill  He’s probably 1. Of the rare people that came away from an attempted cancelling but yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, I would agree with that. Like I think he. Was able to do the the thing of going own it say yeah, that was me. That was back then. I don’t agree with this **** now. I I let my record of the last how many films I’ve made be my kind of my statement as to what kind of a person. I am now. Which I kind of agree with. I think he I think what he’s trying to say most of the time is generally the right thing Ding.  Peta  Ohh, he was he was saying stuff quite loudly this time. But Oh yeah.  Quinny  My God.  Dion  I’ve been a fan of James Gunn’s work since PG ****. Which you might. Yeah, I know. Right. People like wait. What? Yeah, he did a thing called PG **** for Spike TV. She was always great because always cut away before any of the real **** happened. It was quite great. And Nathan fillion’s. In. It if you ever wanted that. So you go look that up. Look, he’s kind of hit and miss, but you know. I like that he came from a very do-it-yourself roots sort of thing, working with chroma when he when he hits his stride really well is is in great filming. Like, you know, some of his films are are actually quite fun and exciting. And he he brings the. UMI think? Sense of joy and a bit of wonder and a bit of stupidity to kind of every single film that he’s in that he does. So yeah, I mean when this was announced that he was gonna be doing Superman or, you know, heading DC into a new direction, I was like, huh, OK can be a bit, Sammy, with your your stuff because you’ve got your formula, which works. And you you’ve been hammering out the same way for a few times, but alright, let’s let’s go see what you’re gonna do with this one. I’ll give it a go. You seem to make. Paining things which is. Exciting. And also he’s happy to. You know, as with peacemaker and suicide, the Suicide Squad. Sorry. He’s happy to to. You’d be a bit creative with what’s going on by not talking about specific characters, but by building a story around misfits and things you wouldn’t really think of. He likes the latitude, I think, rather have to go down the thing like. I mean, I wouldn’t really want to watch James Gunn’s bat.  Speaker 9  Ohh God no, no.  Dion  Was it? Yeah, it’d be a bit. It’d be a bit strange, but James Gunn’s Lobo could work. Yeah.  Quinny  No. I and I think this I think a lot of people were fairly concerned or at least trepidatious about James Gunn, Superman, because what we’ve seen him do before now has always been about. Outsiders, misfits. You know, like peacemaker, people who are not necessarily good people. You know, the the guardians of the Galaxy are all not necessarily good people. So how does how is it going to play? When he is. You know very much, looking at a paragon, you know, how do we deal with somebody who is just straight up good?  Speaker  MHM.  Quinny  You know, is he gonna be able to handle that and personally? I thought he did.  jill  Yeah. Well, I think what aided him was having a a periphery of weirdos. Yeah, yeah.  Quinny  Goofy ********.  Dion  Gotta admit, I was one of the people who was like.  Speaker  Hmm.  Speaker 5  Who is they?  jill  Yes, we all exclaimed after the movie when Dion said, who was that? Who was that? Who was that? And yeah, we said pick up.  Quinny  Yeah.  jill  A DC comic.  Peta  Book. See I’m. I’m. I’m just used to that experience so it.  Speaker  Yes. Yeah.  Peta  Doesn’t bother me. I don’t know who any of these people are. I know Luther. I know, Lois. I know Superman. Yeah, Jimmy.  Quinny  Thank you. Jimmy Olsen.  Peta  That’s.  Speaker  It.  Quinny  So. So Dion, you’ve never run across Mr. Terrific before? Nope, never run across the garden before.  Dion  Now what now?  Quinny  Who was the chick with Wings Hawk girl?  Dion  Ohh and then there was the other one that did.  jill  Come on.  Quinny  Metamorpho.  Dion  No.  Quinny  Right, I guess. Here’s here’s the thing. This is an unashamedly comic book loving movie. Yeah. And the characters that they are choosing to.  Dion  But. Knew the dog.  Quinny  Difference are not just the big triumvirate, not the what do they call them? The big three? Yeah, they’re, they’re they’re. They’re not the big three. They’re not the Justice League. This is the other guys. It’s green. Not just a Green Lantern. It’s the Green Lantern. That everybody.  Dion  Justice gang.  jill  Hates the ******* worst.  Quinny  The ******** Green Lantern with the.  Dion  Worst hair? No, that was that was the Ryan Reynolds one.  Peta  Yeah.  Quinny  It can get worse. You know it’s it’s Mr. Terrific who is, you know, the lot. People have seen him in recent years. He did show up in Arrow as a as a recurring character, but probably not in a way that people would go. Oh, there’s there’s somebody who needs to be on a big screen.  Dion  I had the same reaction when I saw polka dot man. I was like, OK, fine. But then I was watching this going I I don’t know why. Why does Superman even talk to these people? Aren’t they beneath him?  jill  Yeah.  Quinny  No, please.  Peta  Welcome to my side of the fence there.  Dion  It was weird over there.  Quinny  One thing I will say I do think the film look, I’m I’m putting my my word out there right now. I enjoyed it a lot. I thought it was a lot of fun and really, really enjoyable and hit a lot of emotional notes. But the phrase that I have used to describe it to a few people is silly. Like it is willfully silly. And occasionally goofy. And when it does, big action sequences and stuff it it really leans into this, the kind of silliness of. Ridiculous superpowers. You know you can have 100 flying jetpack goons attach themselves to Superman, and he will just spin like a a top and then they all go flying and it’s it’s cartoon world. Whereas. The the other thing is it’s silly, but at the same time it’s very grounded in its emotions.  jill  Yes, yes, I would agree with you.  Speaker 10  Yeah.  Quinny  And I remember watching it and thinking, oh, that one’s going to be that’s going to be divisive.  Dion  Like the whole thing.  Quinny  And. Yeah, the the whole film, because honestly, I think. If you.  jill  But isn’t it? Isn’t it just dividing like people with empathy and ********?  Quinny  But that’s not what I thought was gonna happen. I thought it was going to divide people into people who wanted us a a more serious take on a superhero. Ohh. OK and people.  Speaker  Oh.  Quinny  Who were just like, yeah, comic book superhero, bright colors, Superman robots, you know, crypto.  jill  Yeah, that’s what kind of makes it hard for me to recommend to people because my parents love to watch movies. They like the superhero stuff, and so my mum was like, how was Superman? I said.  Speaker 9  Ohh it was, it was fun.  jill  But at the same time, I’m thinking you’re not going to get half of the references in this film. Like it’s definitely not built for a layman. Peta  You don’t. You don’t need to get the references for it to be fun, though. I think if if you had to get the references.  jill  I feel like 75% of it is references.  Peta  For it to be fun.  Quinny  I mean. Are you? Maybe you need.  Peta  To get into the spirit of it, like I’d never heard it, I didn’t know Superman. Had the dog, but.  Speaker 11  Yeah.  Speaker 13  The Super Dog never had a crypto and never heard.  Peta  Of crypto, but I would say that that that was like the the film signalled what it was very big, very quickly from the beginning in terms of tone and kind of used crypto to do that. And and given I didn’t even watch the trailer for this, I was like, just like we’re going. To see the. New Superman Film Zero other information except for that one still that got released ages ago. I did not know what we were going internally. So so it took that for me to be like, ah, OK, this is where we are. This is what we’re expecting. That’s cool. But like, it didn’t bother me that I’ve never heard of crypto before. Didn’t bother me that I never heard of that particular version of the Green Lantern before, although the head did confuse, confuse me a lot.  Quinny  The volcano.  Peta  Well, maybe because I’m often watching these things with people who do more comics than me. I’m just very used to not getting most of the references and being like along. For the ride.  Quinny  Fair Tari in the chat, saying that the trailer makes it look serious. Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.  Peta  I mean, there’s definitely got serious elements and serious themes. It’s it’s got a serious take, but it it it has a lens of comedy that makes it. It’s very clear from the beginning and that’s what it is. I did find it totally tricky, to be honest. Like I enjoyed the silliness. I enjoyed the comedy, but. I couldn’t quite get my stride in for like. Good first half of the movie. Just totally I I I couldn’t. I couldn’t quite get my hooks into. Into. Where it was and I don’t know if it’s because it didn’t feel. Like if it was like the first episode of A. New TV series. It would have been perfect. There was just something tonally about it that didn’t that didn’t, or maybe it was structurally, that didn’t feel like cinema esque to me.  jill  There was a moment. In the first half of the film, where I did like, make a comment to myself where I was like, this doesn’t really feel like it has a lot of substance. Like it kind of struggles with the message that it wants to convey and. Being comedic like, I don’t know that any of the serious moments really. I don’t know, it held. You long enough to connect. If that makes sense.  Quinny  In in the first half or in. The whole film in.  jill  The whole film I I I there.  Quinny  Were a few moments where I I was really tuned into the series and the emotional like there are a couple of bits with his parents that I was just like, oh Jesus Christ, that that got me right in the in the fields. I.  jill  Don’t know, just some of the some of it just felt rushed. I’m like, it feels like. It’s trying to rush through. These serious beats, or these emotional moments to to get to the next comedy bit, I don’t know.  Quinny  It definitely felt like it was. It was rushing through stuff, agreed. Like there are, there are points where it sort of introduces a concept and then.  Speaker  Hmm.  Quinny  You kind of rushed through to the bit where it’s suddenly the next big. Crisis or whatever.  jill  Yeah.  Quinny  And yeah, it’s. It’s it. It feels like it’s at breakneck pace, kind of a lot of the way through.  jill  Yeah, I was tempted to actually try and catch it again before we chatted. I just to get another go at it.  Quinny  You’ve been very blocky.  Speaker 2  Hmm.  Dion  Look. I mean, I’m down for stuff. And I’m down for all of this thing. But I mean, my one take away that I had for it is ohh, it’s Superman movie. It’s not for me. Like I watched it and I was like, I was there for this. I saw all this just like, I mean, I thought there were. There were bits that that they did, which I really got and I really believed. I thought they, like, knocked it out of the park. I was like, I’m 100% here for certain things, like, certain interpersonal relationships, certain kind of scenes and ideas. I was like, that is. Like, that’s beautiful. You’ve really nailed it and it shows what you’re trying to do. And then there were other stuff there that I was like, why is this? Part. Of this, this doesn’t need to be part of this. I’m slightly confused about where this is all sitting in relation to. It seems like there was a Justice League, but there has been something that happens that has, I know, but this is I’m talking about how I interpreted stuff I was like. I feel like, oh, there was a Justice League for a while there, but now there’s not really a Justice League. But now there’s something else going on, like it was like, oh, we’re we’re going and there’s a world and it’s happening. And some things you won’t know because you haven’t. We haven’t explained, but we’re not going to. You’re just gonna move forward with this. And I was like, OK, that’s all right. I can sort of get on board with it. But it felt like I was being missing critical pieces of information. And then also like, oh, I don’t understand why these other characters are there. This seems like it’s all very haphazard. Some characters are completely underutilised.  Quinny  Examples.  Dion  Like a hot girl, I thought she was. She was pointless if you took her out. I don’t think anything would be missing. There’s no. And that’s a shame because you know, like you want every character. Yeah. Yeah. You want all that stuff to be there?  Quinny  Great actors, but also cool characters.  Dion  Yeah, and and. But to did it look cool in this? Nope. I can say distinctly that I looked at every time she was on screen. Like, ohh. It’s kind of dull. This is a bit better in Black, Adam. I know, right? OK. That was called man. Was it?  Speaker 9  That was.  Dion  One girl. Well, one of them was in. Wasn’t there a hawk girl in one or something?  Quinny  There was a hawk girl in legends of.  jill  Mine.  Quinny  Tomorrow. Sure. Yeah.  Dion  You don’t. I don’t do a lot of DC. Sorry. I wasn’t really a DC person, but I get. Some of the.  Quinny  Ideas. I realize now that I actually am more of a DPDC person than I.  Dion  I had to say.  Quinny  Thought I was.  Dion  I I was so angry when I walked out because one of the things I said quietly to Quinney was like, I’m so so pisssed off because I feel like I need to defend the Snyder verse slightly. And I was angry with my and I still am. I’m still kind of angry with this. I was like, ohh, there’s some things that Snyder verse did a lot better, but I really want to enjoy. The.  Speaker 2  Did.  Dion  This new one I just kind of went. I don’t I I don’t. You know, I think ultimately what I want is I don’t want a Superman movie with all these other people. I just want a Superman movie. Just give me Superman and Lois. And maybe legs loose or throw him in. Sure, he’s OK, but I don’t. I didn’t need the rest. Yeah, and it was.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  jill  Yeah, I will just say for the chat, those that haven’t seen it yet, we’re kind of thrown into the midst of an unfolding situation. There’s there’s not really a beginning, middle and end to it. It’s where where. Thrown into a situation. And it kind of never gets out of that for the whole film. We just always seem to be in a moment and there’s no explanation to, like, some of this stuff. And like I can. Make my way through the movie with plenty of context clues. That’s fine, but I would have loved to have had more moments completely fleshed out and.  Peta  Yeah, be a.  jill  Little bit more on. Board with what’s actually going on, especially like the relationship around Clark and his coworker. I don’t really feel like I got to see a lot of Clarke. Even Lois didn’t really feel fully formed for me and I really have one complaint about her character is that she did not do any journalism. She she was discovered some photos.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  Quinny  Yeah.  jill  By via somebody else and then was able to piece together what was actually happening. In the plot that Superman is trying to uncover. So for me, not a great lowest, even though I love Rachel Brosnahan.  Dion  It’s gonna it’s gonna make absolutely every single journalist who actually does work in research like this scream internally more.  jill  Yeah, but unfortunately I think a lot of modern journalism is just being lucky.  Quinny  Like this so.  Dion  Yeah. No, but like this, this is the thing because it’s kind of I just want to like put that out. It’s going literally. Entire crew of journalists is is together to how do they release the stories like great, we’ll do it on the fly and then they’re doing it like by editing on their. Phones and sending an e-mail and.  Quinny  No, that that is ******* great cause I actually saw a journalist say my favorite part of this movie was Jimmy Publishing the story through a CMS accurately.  Dion  Ohh. Yeah, yeah, sure. But I mean doing. It doing it while they’re running around going. Ohh yeah, it’s ready. Goes press send. Now we have to do it. I’m like.  jill  Yeah, go live.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah. And published too. Social publish.  Peta  In other news, Jimmy can get it apart.  Speaker 11  Like Oh yeah.  Quinny  Sorry.  Speaker 9  Oh.  Peta  Oh no, my. Life.  Quinny  Apparently, yeah. Jimmy lays more cable than anyone in this book. And. I don’t think anyone knows why.  Dion  Jimmy does, and Jimmy needs some.  Quinny  Yeah, Jim. Jimmy. Eat world. Ohh wow.  Dion  Jimmy. Jimmy gets it.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, I I agree. I think like I I will come to the defense of the movie in a lot of cases because there’s a lot of it that I think is a lot of fun. And you know, the thing that I love about it is that it’s it’s it plays well to kids like the and the Minecraft.  Dion  Of movie.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  But how nice is it to to see a kid wanting to play with a Superman toy as opposed to if I could Minecraft toy anyway? But yeah, like that, that stuff with the the people in the daily Planet definitely feels a bit undercooked. Like you’ve got Cat Grant there who? Is, you know there you know what she does.  jill  Yeah. And then you got. Like a couple of other random reporters, I’m like.  Quinny  You got Steve Lombardo there.  jill  Yeah, why don’t.  Quinny  Who just seems like a ********. Yeah. And they were. Yeah. I love the relationship between Lois and Clark, though. Like, yeah, like.  Speaker  Hey.  jill  Yeah, well, what was it, Clark or was? It Superman, yes.  Dion  Yeah, I it’s, I said, like I really was on board with that. I thought the dynamic between Lois and Clark or Cael, like all of that. Was great. Like I went. Yep, they’re definitely cool, funny people who are trying to work out a relationship in this world that they’ve got around them. And I really got it. And I was like hats. Off to them. Amazing. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. And then there was other things. Like the **** is Mr. Terrific and why does. He have balls.  Speaker 9  They’re tears, fears, tears, fears.  Speaker 12  Yeah, man. Dion  Sure. I mean, you know and it’s it would be alright? Well, like what is the engineer? Why is she dangerous? I don’t.  Speaker  Oh, I’m so I don’t know. Yeah.  jill  They told you she has nanobots.  Dion  You know bots. Yeah, but I. Mean **** that. I mean, there are some. There are some annoying things about comic book movies because you know what? We were all annoyed by the giant sky beam and this one, thankfully, just let you all know there is no giant sky beam, no sky beam. There’s a giant.  jill  There is an underground Fight Club.  Dion  Yes, and the giant. And there’s a giant. There’s a giant crack.  Peta  Yeah.  Dion  Which is the same thing as the giant sky, but it has the same yeah.  Quinny  It’s the exact opposite, in fact.  Peta  It’s a giant wall destroying rift. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Dion  And it’s made of bismuth. Yeah. What the **** is going on with that? It was just.  jill  Yeah.  Dion  Yes, and as until a joke that came later, which was? Oh, yes. Lex Luthor was just a businessman.  Speaker  No.  Dion  Gone. No, exactly. For people going the the the, the, the, the big Destructo thing that whatever is happening, it looks like it’s just macro views of bismuth for me.  jill  Yeah. Do we like Nicholas? Holt’s performance as like we thought.  Peta  I always like Nicholas Holt, so I’m I I I I can’t have that conversation.  Dion  Why not? He got paid $2,000,000. For this film.  Peta  Good for him. Is that all?  Dion  Yes, but do you know how much Superman got paid? The same as Lois, but less, but much less.  jill  A million million.  Dion  700 they 7 they got.  jill  Ohh really? He got the he got the pretty privilege he got. Ohh.  Dion  750 tags each. Yeah, but they also both within written into it that they they had a lower fee because they have a back end deal. So they’ve got.  jill  I want a back end deal please.  Dion  With who? With Nicholas Holt or with?  jill  No. Yeah, with my new boyfriend.  Dion  Torn to it.  Quinny  I love it. You, you ladies, you can. You can divide them up, Pete. You can have Nicholas Holt. Jill, you can have David Corus wet. I’ll take crypto, apparently.  jill  No.  Quinny  And I will pat him, I will pat him and love him and call him George.  Speaker 9  Yes.  Dion  Great. So it just leaves me with the Lois and I haven’t even watched the fabulous Mrs. Maisel.  Peta  Marvel, marvelous.  Speaker 5  See. Marvelous.  Peta  That did distract me because I didn’t realise she was lost because, as I said, I hadn’t looked into the movie at all and just the entire time my brain was like. But it’s the marvelous missus.  Quinny  That would be.  jill  Wow.  Peta  Not Louis.  Dion  Yes, yes.  Quinny  Yeah, you, you get #5 or as he’s better known, Gary.  Dion  Yeah. No, like 100% if I got to hang out with Alan Tudyk for the rest of my life, I would be down for that. I’d be like, yes, please give me.  Quinny  Mm-hmm.  Dion  Screen robot voice.  Quinny  Man, I did. I did love it. I looked up who the other.  Dion  He’s a very funny man.  Quinny  Voices of the robots.  Speaker 9  Ohh.  Quinny  Are. Yeah. So Superman robot number one is Michael Rooker.  Speaker 9  Oh, I was. Wondering why he was credited on who was he?  Quinny  Yep, and Superman robot #5IS. Pom clementia? Yeah. There’s, like, there are a bunch of little things in there, like, you know.  jill  Ah, nice. Just James Gunn’s friends.  Quinny  Yeah, James Gunn’s friends like Bradley Cooper gets to look in.  Speaker 9  So, so shocked to see.  jill  Bradley deal was so shocked that he didn’t. He convinced himself it wasn’t Bradley Cooper.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  I don’t think anyone.  Dion  Yeah, I thought it was to start with. I’m like ohh, that’s funny. And then later I’m like, no, that’s not him. No, it wasn’t him, right? It was someone else.  Quinny  One of my favorite stupid and and something OK, something that probably should be said if you love the 1978 movies like so Superman, Superman 2. Hmm. This has got a lot of love for those films, and that particular kind of style.  Dion  I I feel it’s got more in common with Superman 3 onwards.  Quinny  That two it has a bit of three and four in there as well. In fact, it’s got.  Dion  But I mean. Superman. Superman. A lot of Superman 4. Yeah, I mean, like I like Superman 1. I do not find that this is the same as Superman 1 because it had the stupidity of Superman 2 when he throws his *******. Symbol that wraps like. That’s the kind of somewhat stupid ideas that come out. You’re like, oh, bold choice, but I guess. I feel like that’s OK.  Quinny  Yeah. Like I I think this has got more in common with the the funny parts of Superman 1, like the the Lex Luthor and Otis and Miss Tessmacher, and then stuff like that. Yeah. You know, those kind of elements of Superman 1 and yeah, a lot of Superman four. I was actually really shocked at how much.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  Referencing there was to Superman 4, which is make no mistake, the worst of those Mens sure super men super anyway, but my favorite is there’s a character in there who’s Lex, who’s main thug character by the name of. Otis. So Otis, of course, being from the old films. But this new character is called Otis Berg, and that’s the name of the country that Otis wanted to have for himself in the. 78. I’m going to. Mr. Luthor, I’m going to have a place and. It’s gonna be called Eldersburg.  Dion  I mean, look, also I want to I want to put it because a few people in the chat haven’t watched it yet, which is fine. Yeah. It’s OK. There was a lot of dog in this. Like, I mean there’s there’s so much. There’s almost too much dog. I know.  Speaker 9  There’s a lot of dog, it’s got.  jill  The dog in it. Oh, come on.  Speaker 5  See look you.  Dion  Know look at this this whole thing. These were divisive.  jill  What are you, a cat person?  Dion  No, I.  Speaker 3  Yes.  Speaker 5  No, I’m a dog person, but I thought in this there was like there is a little bit too much dog.  Dion  In this and also the dog. Anyway, I can’t explain like the whole thing is I can’t say I I watched it and by the end I’m like it’s not really for me. I don’t. I don’t really, I’m not.  Speaker 5  Sure, I’m down.  Dion  For this, but I want to be is that does that? Does that make sense?  Quinny  You you went in?  Speaker 9  Of course, yeah.  Dion  I went in hoping that this would be kind of for me, you know, like ohh. Great. Maybe this will be a new Ave. to get into the DC cinematic world that they’re probably building and stuff like there’d be something to get and there’s like.  Speaker 5  Oh, I feel like this is absolutely not.  Dion  My kind of jam, but I hope it will.  Speaker  Me.  Dion  I I just wanted to see a movie about soup. Men. Not Superman. Conflicted ideologies of other stuff that people maybe are doing at him or or all this other stuff. And they’re very over complicated **** like, you know, ultimately at the heart, Lex Luthor is still the same. Thing that he was in the original. Gene Hackman dies.  Speaker 11  Yeah, I really think, yeah.  jill  I feel like Nicholas Holt was really channelling Gene Hackman, to be honest.  Quinny  Oh yeah, yeah, big.  Peta  You don’t feel more topical?  Quinny  Though ohh yeah. Yeah.  jill  I’m gonna say Superman has always been this topical.  Speaker 5  Oh yeah.  Peta  But in in terms of that particular character now feels particularly topical.  Speaker 3  Mm-hmm.  jill  I think, well, I think that they’ve just updated it to more modern things and I’m going to say stuff like social media and trolling and that kind of stuff. Because there’s, like a great gag throughout the the film about Superman not reading the comments.  Speaker 9  Because it’s just.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  jill  Just hateful. And then we find out later who is writing those comments. Which is quite humorous, but. It’s. Yeah, I think it’s always had that theme.  Peta  Yeah, I’m and I’m, I’m glad. I’m glad that. Ohh well, I was talking about Luther specifically as a specific character being a billionaire tech bro megalomaniac that.  Quinny  You’re you’re talking about Luther.  Peta  Actually, you know, literally trying to take over the world by helping to engage small countries.  Quinny  Yeah.  jill  I mean, I saw a really great headline that just said Superman is not work, it’s just we have real life super villains now. So that’s why it is so relatable. Yeah.  Peta  Yeah. But you’re right. I mean, all of these things have always had messages. So I was glad in this case that there was like strong messaging within the plot and within. Each of the characters. So even when I wasn’t quite catching up with the tone or like you said you, you kind of do get kind of thrown into the middle of the story and maybe that’s why I didn’t feel like I would catch up. There’s definitely not an origin story. But even when I, you know, was kind of like.  Speaker  Hmm.  Peta  I’m still not sure I’m feeling what this is. I was kind of appreciating that it was staying true to the genre in terms of its. In in in terms of its messaging and how topical it was being.  Quinny  Yeah. Look, I I’m a big fan of the fact that it it it didn’t stutter like when it’s saying hey, you know countries invading other countries as far and you know a fairly thinly. Veiled, like OK, completely thinly veiled thing saying, hey, this country that looks an awful lot like Israel this country. That looks an. Awful lot like Palestine. Yeah. This is a ****** situation. Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody could just, you know, go in and give the middle finger to? You know, literally the middle finger to an oppressive regime, you know, like. I can see where people are jumping around saying it’s woke. Absa, ******* lutely. It’s. It makes no bones about where it’s politics. Like, yeah.  Dion  The only problem is it’s like, that’s just, you know, the group of people who are complaining about this sort of stuff. I feel like, well, you’re the sort of people who, like, say that the Punisher is part of the police force. Like you just you’re not, actually.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  jill  Yeah, they don’t understand it like Superman has been woke since 1938, when he was created like, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, well, the 50s after the Japanese thing, but we won’t go there. Yeah.  Quinny  He was he was fighting the Klan in 1940.  Dion  True, true, you know. But there was a bit of problematic World War 2 stuff. So, but you know, hey. You can’t win them all, but yeah, look, it is a whole thing that. This is someone who’s trying to fight for the underdog, for the little guy to stand up to, to face down bullies and all that sort of stuff. And what happens when the bullies are the ones that are kind of running stuff. You know, then you can’t be surprised. I was like, ohh. Maybe we’re the bad guys like. Yes. That’s what we’re telling you. We’re actually telling you you’re doing **** things and stop it, because that’s not what we want to be.  Speaker 2  Yeah.  jill  That’s the part of this movie that, like, struck me the hardest was when, you know, bullies pile on when the heroes down like Superman has a moment where, you know the press and online is picking him apart and then that’s when you know, people decide to strike you when.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  jill  You’re at your week. Just and have made no secret about having endured bullying through high school, so it was a very resounding moment for me. I ******* hated it, but. Yeah, I think it’s still important to include stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, it was a hard watch.  Dion  So this is what I say. Like when, when, what, when I was watching it and like some of the stuff it when it hits it. It hits. Really, really well and that’s.  jill  Yeah. Very yeah. Poignant stuff.  Dion  Yeah. And then, you know, other times it’ll go from that though, to a scene of a, an entire building collapsing over a particular thing. Or, you know, the fictional idea that Metropolis can be evacuated in about 20 minutes.  Peta  Yeah. I mean, suspension of disbelief. Dion, come.  Speaker 11  What the ****? On.  Dion  Excuse me. What? I I’m a logistics based person and even I know you can’t evacuate patrol. I mean Gotham. Different story. We can get people out, no problem. It’s basically Islam.  Peta  Yeah.  Quinny  What I did enjoy about that that sequence, though, was the difference between. Something like that sequence and Man of Steel where you’ve got like a Superman.  Peta  Which is why I did not like Man of Steel. I was like, I know nothing about Superman, but this don’t feel right.  Quinny  Like just having a a running battle through the streets and smashing through.  Peta  Just shocking a guy through buildings like just the entire battle was him throwing that guy through buildings that had people in them.  Quinny  There’s no. Yeah, yeah. And then at the end of it killing. You know which like is is one of those things that is just like ohh. Whereas in this one.  jill  Yeah, that lost me when he killed Zod. That lost me. I’m like, this is not.  Quinny  Superman. Yeah. And. And OK. He couldn’t. He couldn’t do it any other way. Yeah, he can. He’s Superman. And I love this one for, like, all of those moments where he’s like somebody, you know, does something to the Kaiju and he’s like, come on, man. I was going to put that in a. Like a space prison thing or.  Speaker  Whatever.  Speaker 9  Yeah, and like Superman does have his his little space zoo, like with all his funny little creatures.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah. Exactly like. But I think to to make him and the the the level of good these and that that altruism where he will save a squirrel where he will, you know try and get a dog out of the way to keep it from being you know hurt whatever to make him work. You kind of have to place him in this almost silly space.  Speaker 13  Please.  Quinny  Like you know, this is this is a Superman who goes and talks to his funny robots and can fly into the heart of a black black hole like this. This is very, very much Frank quietly, kind of All Star Superman, which is, you know, really kind of leaning in on the Silver Age, the. The really kind of over the top stuff. But to do that, that’s why you can have him be so good. But then they ground that I I personally thought it was a ******* incredible kind of balancing act where they allowed him to be, you know, cartoonishly lovely.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  But then would ground it with something like when the the mayor and Par Kent first showed up. I was like, holy ****, this is a bit much, isn’t it? Like, you know.  jill  They were really giving adventures of Superman, Marion. Park Kent to be on.  Quinny  Hmm, yeah. But then by the end of it, I was like ohh, I’m fully invested in these sweet, lovely people.  Dion  Yeah. What do you mean? They’re just regular folk?  jill  Yeah, exactly.  Dion  Who were just trying to be good and try to like to think they’re not like Kevin Costner’s saying. No, no, don’t sacrifice it like I wouldn’t. I was.  Peta  Ohh ****.  jill  That movie just reminding me how much I ******* hated Man of Steel.  Quinny  Yeah. No, no. I don’t save me. Don’t reveal your secret. Oh, and by the way, maybe you should have let some.  Dion  No.  Quinny  Kids, kids die.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, because that’s that’s how you get a Superman that kills people. Rather than this one.  Speaker 11  Anyway.  Dion  It’s like you raised me to be good, and then I found out that I wasn’t supposed to be good. Ohh, but no, I I’m still gonna be good.  jill  Hang on. All right. Any final thoughts before we rate?  Dion  Uh, no.  Quinny  I think I just waxed a little too lyrical then so I I think I’ve said as much as. I need to.  Dion  Great. OK.  Quinny  Clip.  Dion  Yes. Clip then right, mainly because it’s very late. Well done. Good call, Jill, I could join me to start the the clip then. Right. You want to go clip then? Right. Which one? Which one do you want? The you get out of here or the dog? The dog. Do you want to see the dog?  Speaker 2  Yes.  Speaker 9  It’s good for you. Dog. Dog. Ohh.  Speaker 10  So.  Quinny  What is this? Crypto.  Speaker 2  What the hey, dude, I I thought you destroyed the whole Superman robots. I thought I told you to keep an eye on him.  Speaker 10  We feed the canine, but he is unruly and he realizes we are not flesh and blood and couldn’t in our heart of hearts care less whether he lives or. Dies.  Speaker  Don’t eat it.  Speaker 13  Out, out, stop out. Stop. Crypto out. Out. Stop it. Stop, sit, sit, stay.  Dion  Oh, there we go. Yes, the very bad dog who is a good dog but a bad dog. Unless before dog. Yes, trying. Is James going trying to make us all Crypto Bros? OK, ratings hit the ratings. Go on.  Speaker 13  Kneel before dog.  Quinny  Oh.  Speaker  Oh.  Quinny  Rohan, didn’t it?  jill  I wanted to like it more than I did. I really, really wanted to like it more. Than I did.  Speaker 9  Oh, ****. You’re going to be harsh. I’m going to give it.  jill  A 65.  Speaker  Cool.  Speaker 9  Chill. I still.  jill  Had enjoyable moments. But there’s just something about it that didn’t click for me. I don’t ******* know what it was. I mean, I touched on some of the the moments a lot of out of context stuff, just not enough fleshing out of some characters. Like maybe it was doing too much. I.  Speaker 12  Hmm.  Dion  This is so strange.  jill  Don’t know.  Dion  It’s so strange because I was heading towards 60. I’m gonna give it 60. I know, right? I was heading towards 60, which I thought was like rough, but I was like, ohh true. Yeah, that’s the thing like.  Speaker 11  But. I liked it. I had fun it.  Speaker 9  Was just just.  jill  Not enough that did it. For me, yeah, that’s right. Can.  Dion  I go not for me. Like, you know, like.  jill  Even those beautiful dimples.  Dion  I don’t remember. I don’t remember that character.  Quinny  Yeah, beautiful dimples.  Dion  I feel like it’s a song like if. If I were to separate everything out and perhaps put it in a different context, I would enjoy each of those bits more. But yeah, together I just. I was like, oh, it was entertaining. But did I have a good time? With it I’m like fine. You know. If they announce Superman 2 tomorrow, would I be rushing out to see? I’m like depends. It’s gonna be more the same same. Anyway, there I did 60. That’s fine.  Quinny  Pete, where you got with it?  Peta  I’m not gonna. I’m gonna be a little bit kinder to it because, like, I’m genuinely so used to not knowing what’s going on or who anyone is that none of that stuff actually bothered me, and partly because I I appreciate the the messaging that it was going for, and there were lots of bits that I did appreciate, but. I just structurally totally couldn’t quite get my hooks in. To it, but it’s not to say that I wouldn’t recommend it. I still think it’s an entertaining film, so I’m just gonna say 70.  jill  Yeah, I agree with Brent. In the chat. They said it feel like it needs a second viewing to appreciate. And I did kind of want to see it again before we did this show, but didn’t get time. I do wanna watch it again.  Quinny  Hmm.  Speaker 2  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, I I do really want to begin.  Peta  And also need to see it twice to make it good. Probably like isn’t like yeah positive rating.  Speaker 11  I think.  Speaker 9  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  jill  So for now, 65 still sticks, yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Look, I was talking to other person who saw it and had had a conversation online and they gave it a rating, but the.  Speaker 12  Was it a?  Dion  Is that a monkey?  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, yeah. The monkey called Waterworth, but he made a really interesting point, which is the film itself. And the way the film is made. Has some goofy moments, and like there are bits that don’t work, and it’s kind of clunky, and there are sequences that feel rushed and there are characters that feel underused and everything. So the film itself, I said, he said I’d break that about a 60. 5. But. The feeling that I got from it. Was much higher, you know, and there are moments that it hit its stride where you see, like, you know, the the there’s a moment where the the building comes crashing down and it’s just dust. And. You see the the silhouette of Superman rising above it, and I was like, oh **** me. That’s a beautiful shot. You know, and there were moments where he was talking to Luthor, where I was like, God, that’s a ******* rip. A piece of writing. And, you know, there were all these moments throughout that that made me feel a lot. Different about the film and. That’s the thing. Like I remember watching it going. People are gonna be really torn over this one. Turns out they weren’t. It’s made of ****** out of money. But. I think I was also looking at myself going I’m torn on this film like I can see that there are lots of bits that don’t work particularly well, but I’m having a ******* great time. And when it does it, it does it beautifully. So for me, somewhere around that 80 mark.  Speaker 11  Quinny  Like I’ve I’ve really enjoyed it. I think the. Like. It’s not hitting the ******* heights of of Logan, you know, it’s.  jill  Yeah. Didn’t blow my ****.  Speaker 12  Off Peter, how how are your tints? Are they still? Sorry.  Quinny  I am.  Peta  That’s the new rating system.  Dion  2020 I can mine are here still.  Quinny  So mine is still.  Speaker 12  My might.  Quinny  Might have gone.  jill  From now on I’m just writing 1-2 or zero like. That’s how many tips are left.  Dion  No.  Quinny  How they treat you? I like that we’ve been doing this for this many years and. We’ve only now come. To a rating.  Speaker 13  System the perfect all.  Dion  Agree on a perfect natural rating system.  jill  Renaming to the periodic tides of awesome.  Quinny  Wow.  Dion  You heard it here first. In this ultra wide for truth, justice, and. The tight way. How do we get here? Sorry, Kenny, you were talking very earnestly about lucky Superman and now.  Speaker  We’re talking about.  Quinny  No, I’m. I’m all down for.  Speaker 11  I said bring us back to reality.  Quinny  I I think I think I’ve said quite a lot. I talked about this on ABC Radio. I’ve I’ve, yeah, I’ve kind of kind of said my piece on this whole thing.  Dion  You did.  Speaker 5  Like Will, will.  Dion  I watch this Superman in another film or a a successive sequel. Yeah, I will. Like, I’ll come back and give it another go, but I really hope I get to see more. Uh. About like I, I would enjoy watching this Superman interact with other people, but I really just want to see a movie about Superman.  jill  I wanna see this Superman with a with with our touch, Batman.  Quinny  Our pet.  Dion  Our parts.  Quinny  That would be the most astonishing tonal whiplash.  jill  Yeah. It’s gonna be like gloomy boy and sunshine boyfriend. It’s gonna.  Dion  Well, we already know that Lobos Green Litton going ahead. So yeah, this Superman and.  jill  Be so great. Ohh God, just imagining a hot mess from Lobo.  Quinny  I mean. Yeah, but I’m also. There’s a part of me that kind of feels like that’s what Lobo needs to be. But also, I’m not sure he’s, like, getting his own film. I know he’s in Supergirl, but you know.  Dion  Well, who knows, I mean. Wait, we’re in spoiler section yet.  Quinny  I was gonna say should we move into spoiler section just briefly.  Dion  So that does mean changing the bulb. Yes, yes. It’s up now, OK. Right. So. How do we feel about that? And?  Quinny  So.  jill  Yeah, escape the chat if you don’t want spoilers.  Speaker  Quinny  True. Yeah. Yeah. Now, now is your time to exit and.  Dion  We don’t. We’re getting anything. This is what happens with all these films nowadays. It’s like well. You’ve just enjoyed that movie. I know we’re gonna do a.  Speaker 5  Little bit of taste or maybe something?  Quinny  Else you know, I like the fact that they chose not to to follow the forgotten the the way of Marvel doing it. Of yeah, doing it as a post credit sequence or anything, it was like. No, no, we’re gonna put it in the act. So.  Dion  Yeah, fair enough.  Quinny  Yep, thought that was nice. So yes, to anyone who hasn’t ******** off yet. Yeah. What did we think of Australia’s own Milly Alcock as the Super Party girl?  Speaker 9  Yeah, I was surprised to.  jill  See Supergirl appear in the movie I. One thing that escaped me before watching this, but.  Dion  It’s a. It’s a. It’s a bold.  jill  I kind of liked it.  Dion  Choice to introduce that character in that particular way.  Speaker 11  Yeah, I kind of liked.  jill  A A party girl? Supergirl.  Dion  Only cause she was going to a planet with a red sun.  Quinny  So she could get.  Speaker 11  You ****** **.  Speaker 5  But how did she get off the planet?  Quinny  The red well.  jill  Spaceship.  Speaker 13  Yeah.  Quinny  Just cause she she she’s red sun so she can get drunk. But I’m guessing that.  Dion  Too too many Buckleys aren’t there.  Quinny  Maybe she could still fly. Yeah, so interesting idea that I’ve they’ve said that a lot of the Supergirl film is gonna be vaguely based on the Supergirl woman of tomorrow. I think it’s called OK, which is an interesting idea that Supergirl. Unlike Superman, who came as a baby.  Speaker 3  MHM.  Quinny  And therefore, you know it has been raised by lovely parents and stuff like that. Supergirl is dealing with some pretty ******* serious promo.  jill  Yeah.  Quinny  She, you know, saw her family and planet. Die has seen everybody that she knows and loves die. And you know, then spent. God only knows how long in a, you know, intergalactic tube.  Speaker 2  MHM.  Quinny  And yeah, is having not a great time of it and suddenly doesn’t really know how to cope with, you know, superpowers and **** like that. Meanwhile, you got Clarke, who has been growing up with this, so it has a much better grounded understanding of it. I like that idea.  jill  Yeah, I would watch it. Yep.  Dion  And see, that’s a really interesting thing because you got that whole Superman movie with all those other characters and the different things that went on, and yet you’ve built the little world around that. See, This is why I kind of went like ohh Superman. I’m not sure about that movie. Why couldn’t have just been about Superman? Doesn’t he have his own trauma? Wasn’t all of his own traumas enough? You know, having to deal with? He didn’t need everyone else’s. Stuff. Yeah. Does that make sense?  Quinny  I think so, yeah.  Dion  Try not to discredit it.  Quinny  OK, so one of the big things that. Jimmy’z sexual prowess is what saves the day.  jill  Yeah.  Dion  No, but also.  Peta  But also Jimmy’z willingness to, like, use a woman.  Dion  I know, I know. Right. Like, you know, jimmy’z terrible ****, boy. Attitude saves the day.  Peta  Information.  Dion  Conflicting maybe?  jill  I think you’re missing the real hero of the story, and that’s Eve, Tess Markham.  Quinny  1000 percent 1000.  jill  Sure, she’s the one that took all of those photos with all of the crucial information. Mm-hmm.  Dion  Are you saying that selfies and influences do serve a purpose in life?  jill  Yeah, I wanna see the movie with Eve Tessmacher and Madison from Marvel.  Speaker 12  ohh  Dion  Talk about crisis on infinite Earths.  Quinny  I I do love that Miss Tessmacher is actually the person who has saved. Men, both films, she’s also the one that saves him in the 1970.  Dion  Well, yeah. There’s a nice little.  Quinny  8 film.  Dion

In this episode, Manos Koukoumidis, CEO of Oumi, makes the case for why the future of AI must be open-source. OUMI (Open Universal Machine Intelligence) is redefining how AI is built—offering fully open models, open data, and open collaboration to make AI development more transparent, accessible, and community-driven. Big Tech has dominated AI, but UMI is challenging the status quo by creating a platform where anyone can train, fine-tune, and deploy AI models with just a few commands.

Imagine being whisked away into a world of vibrant energy and captivating performances, where every moment feels like a first-time adventure. That's exactly what happened when we attended the Travis Japan concert at Sony Hall in New York City. From the unexpected VIP invitation by STARTO Entertainment to the electrifying atmosphere of the city, we share our journey of surprise and delight. Our VIP treatment made us feel like newcomers, savoring each moment with a renewed sense of wonder. The concert was a spectacular blend of charisma and connection, where the band's classic tuxedos and art deco venue created a Broadway-like atmosphere. Each performer brought their own unique energy, with unforgettable moments like Umi's adorable interactions and Genta's crowd-favorite chant. The performers' joyful engagement with the audience was infectious, especially during high-energy numbers like "Level Up," leaving us with a sense of "concert amnesia" from the overwhelming excitement. The dedication of Travis Japan shone through in personal anecdotes and a surprise "Katy Perry song", making the experience even more memorable.Beyond the music, we dive into behind-the-scenes stories, recounting our exhilarating encounter with the band after the show. Despite challenges like flight delays, Travis Japan's professionalism and passion were evident as they delivered an electrifying performance. Our post-show meeting revealed their genuine warmth and enthusiasm, leaving us inspired by their kindness and dedication.

En este episodio le entramos al tema del trabajo digno. ¿Cómo se ve el panorama laboral para las y los jóvenes de la Gen-Z? A lo largo de nuestra serie de política para Centennials, un tema recurrente ha sido la ansiedad que ellos y ellas sienten al pensar en su futuro laboral. Los prospectos no solo son inciertos, sino que además las historias que se escuchan sobre el abuso y el maltrato laboral son el pan de cada día. En el imaginario de la Gen-Z, el trabajo tradicional no es algo a lo que aspiras, sino algo que haces cuando no te quedó de otra. No es sorpresa, entonces, que el auto-empleo sea el horizonte preferido por las nuevas generaciones. El problema es que, normalmente, el autoempleo carece de seguridad social, fondo de retiro y días de vacaciones. Ante este panorama, ¿qué debe hacer el gobierno? Para discutir estos temas, nos acompañaron Hannia Yohali Zenteno Cruz, integrante del Grupo de Asesor Joven en GOYN México y vocera de la Alianza Jóvenes con Trabajo Digno ; Alejandra Castrejón "Umi" diseñadora gráfica y tatuadora; y Edwin Uriel Herrera Reyes "Pipo", chef y artista urbano.

Transcription Notes Michael Hingson ** 00:00 Access Cast and accessiBe Initiative presents Unstoppable Mindset. The podcast where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet. Hi, I'm Michael Hingson, Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe and the author of the number one New York Times bestselling book, Thunder dog, the story of a blind man, his guide dog and the triumph of trust. Thanks for joining me on my podcast as we explore our own blinding fears of inclusion unacceptance and our resistance to change. We will discover the idea that no matter the situation, or the people we encounter, our own fears, and prejudices often are our strongest barriers to moving forward.

Glad you dropped by we're happy to meet you and to have you here with us.   Michael Hingson ** 01:20 Welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset, where inclusion diversity in the unexpected meet and we'll find ways to involve a lot of that stuff. today. Our guest is Morag Barrett. And she is a sought out executive coach. And she is also an expert on leadership and more important being prejudiced about such things. She is an author of three books and I know we're going to hear about those as we go through it. But I'm gonna let her talk about that rather than me spending all of our time doing it. It's kind of more fun to hear it some more anyway, so Morag welcome to unstoppable mindset. Glad you're here.   Morag Barrett ** 02:03 Michael meet who I know we're gonna have a fun conversation.   Michael Hingson ** 02:08 Well, that's the plan anyway, that's what we got to work on. Well, I'm really glad that you're here. Morag is in Colorado we're in Colorado. Where are you?   Morag Barrett ** 02:18 I live in a town called Broomfield so I'm down in the burbs just north of Denver and on the way to Boulder so I can see the Rocky Mountains when I leave my house, but not from the room I'm sitting in right now. But it's a beautiful part of the country.   Michael Hingson ** 02:32 It is I've been to Littleton I'm vice president on the board of the Colorado Center for the Blind which is a little tin so know the area pretty well. Huh? Well, why don't we start by maybe you telling us a little about sort of the earlier more ag growing up and all that stuff and where you came from and anything else that you think is relevant for us to know.   Morag Barrett ** 02:57 So what when I was a wee last? Well, you are the eagle IED listeners they will have gathered I have a bit of a an accent for those who are reading the transcript. It may not yet come through. But I am told that I have the hint of an accent. I was born in the UK grew just the hint just a weekend. But I was born in the UK and grew up in and around East Anglia, which is about 50 miles northeast of London. And I learnt childhood I remember climbing trees falling out into nettle patches getting into mischief. But halcyon days of just go out on your bike and don't come back until dusk. So that was that was the early days anyway, the first season of Morag Barret or Morag McLeod as I was then   Michael Hingson ** 03:52 Garrett came later. The asset It did indeed. Well, so you you grew up like it sounds like kind of a normal kid. And any any challenges or relevant things to think about growing up that kind of helped shaped where you are today? Or does all that come later as well? Yeah, I   Morag Barrett ** 04:11 think? Well, no, I think it all blends in. I think the reality is, though, when we tell it when we're asked about our own story, I know it is easy for me to dismiss it of that's boring. You don't want to hear it. Nothing. Nothing exciting happened to me. But in reality, I think more happens to us then we may recognize in the moment. And so I think the biggest impact as I look back on my life now is a woman of a certain age with my own sons who are now all six foot tall. So you can imagine where I am in my life cycle and a career that is 30 years old. Just to date myself. The biggest thing growing up that I didn't appreciate the time was my mom and what had happened to her because in the early 70s She had a brain tumor and was told that she wasn't going to live. And then the diagnosis changed to where you're going to live, but you may not be able to see you may not be able to walk, you may not be able to it was a full list of may not be able to use. And she did live. She did see she did walk a little unsteadily. But the the hindsight as an adult is that we never talked about it as a family, not once. And that whole stereotype British sweep it under the carpet, nothing to see here, maintain appearances in the house and outside the house. In fact, let's remember this, let's allow others to assume my mother might have a drinking problem, versus her speech and balance was impacted because of a brain tumor problem. The fact that we might allow the former over the latter just blew blows my mind now as I look back at it, but it also I can see how it shaped my somewhat risk adverse, maintain the professional image, keep everything buttoned up early in my career, whether that was in banking, or when I moved into leadership and executive development.   Michael Hingson ** 06:18 So do you think that's different in Britain, you then hear in terms of sweeping it under the carpet and, and not wanting to talk about it?   Morag Barrett ** 06:28 So it depends on what the it is. And I don't know that it's any different I think the reality is we all have, it's things that we sweep under the carpet or don't acknowledge, for fear of how others might react, maybe even for healthier of how I might react. I know it was very emotional. When I started to process this. Back 10 years or so ago, my mom passed away 23 years ago, from a brain tumor. But all of this, we have this inbuilt we're conditioned we're raised to Don't rock the boat fit into societal norms. Don't be different, don't mention uncomfortable things, because you'll make other people feel uncomfortable. And so that it varies whether you're in the US or in the in the UK varies from person to person. But what I've learned in the last decade is those fears of what others may think or how they may judge us are invariably inflated. And in some cases, in my case, imaginary. And I wish I just dealt with them sooner. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 07:39 and I would say the other part about that is an inflated or not. Maybe people often do feel really uncomfortable. I know there are any number of people, even some who are blind, but yeah, a number of people who are uncomfortable and very fearful about blindness, because they're afraid Well, I could become blind right on somebody who's blind. They don't do well. When whether it's blindness or or any other thing we have learned to fear the things we don't know a lot about. And that's so unfortunate that we don't learn that maybe we are looking at things a different way.   Morag Barrett ** 08:20 I couldn't agree more. I mean, it's that not seeking to understand that the curiosity that keeps us all trapped or separate. Because should I lose my sight? How do I learn to adapt? The fact that I think we know by now that blindness is not contagious, it's not something you're going to catch by hanging out with and socializing with people who may have. And that goes with many of the challenges that people bring. I mean, Eric shares my business partner in our book, you may worry about his struggle with depression throughout his life and mental health. And he is now way more open with us as to when he needs assistance when he's having a tough day or an up day. And as a result, we have grown stronger as a team because we and we understand we may not experience his lived life, but we have a better perspective from which to ask, and for us all to be better together.   Michael Hingson ** 09:22 And I would change something that you said a little bit. I think curiosity is great if we would only but be curious. Yes, rather than treating us as curiosities, whoever we are. Curious, be open. And the other side of that is that I'll use me as a blind person. We need to be open and be prepared to be teachers and it's easy for a lot of people. I just don't want to do that. I'm tired of doing that. But that's what we are and who we are. And we can shut down which doesn't help or or we can choose to be open and answer questions and help people better understand, which hopefully will help people move on and not fear things so much.   Morag Barrett ** 10:11 I think that ultimately is a two way street, you can't do all of the education. From your perspective, it'd be exhausting, it's unfair. It's just unmanageable. But so I have to step in and come closer to you, in the same way as you have to then be willing to accept maybe my inelegant questions or my, at this point, I didn't know better questions. But I will know after you've responded and clarified for me a different approach or a different perspective.   Michael Hingson ** 10:43 One of the things that I have the honor and pleasure of doing as I work with a company, our company called Accessibility in Israel, and excessively makes products that helped make the internet more accessible and more usable for a lot of different kinds of disabilities and persons with different disabilities. And I spent a week over there my first time in Israel, we were there two weeks ago. And there were a lot of questions about dealing with disabilities. And what to do well, not so much what to do and what not to do, but how do we approach different issues and so on. And ultimately, if I were to summarize, the week, it is, how great it was that people were willing to ask questions and even acknowledged that maybe they were making assumptions that weren't true. We were able to move through a lot of that. And it was so wonderful to experience that and have the opportunity. And I knew going in that I was there in part to do that very thing. So I chose to and I agree, we can't always be teachers, and we shouldn't necessarily try to go force ourselves into a teaching role. But when it comes along, we do need to recognize and deal with it. Hmm. That's kind of more of what I'm thinking. That's the that's the only way we're going to address the issue.   Morag Barrett ** 12:10 Yeah, one conversation, one interaction at a time. Yeah. It's   Michael Hingson ** 12:15 like you do you eat an elephant one bite at a time? Why don't want me to. Okay. But I hear you it is one conversation, one interaction at a time. So you went, you grew up, you rode a bike, you climbed trees, and did all those things that people do and probably spied on the neighbors and all that sort of stuff. Did you? Did you go to college in England? Or what did you do? Actually, I   Morag Barrett ** 12:41 chose not too. That was a pivot point. For me, when I graduated high school, I actually chose to go straight into work. And originally I was going to be an engineer. I did applied mathematics, physics and economics at high school. So in preparation for going I was the only girl in the class, you know, that sort of thing. And then the class was five people. I mean, it was tiny, but we would hang out. And I was going to be an engineer, I like puzzles. I used to do jigsaw puzzles upside down, Michael, you know, with the image, the wrong side, just because of the spatial awareness, which I don't know, don't necessarily have carried forward. But in economics, there was a chapter on how banks create money. And I thought this is fascinating. And I decided to go straight into banking. And I worked in the branch in might the town I grew up, and I did my degree at night school, because I decided by the time I graduated, I would have a have the work experience and the degree, or I could go to university and have a fun time and an OK degree, but I would lose the work experience. And so that was the decision I made and it worked out. And then subsequently, I went back to school and did a master's degree in HR and move from numbers into the leadership and executive development executive coaching that I do now.   Michael Hingson ** 13:59 Why did you go back to school and get a degree in HR? So you got one new stop? You got a bachelor's degree, but you never did get a bachelor's degree?   Morag Barrett ** 14:07 Well, no. Yes. I got the associate's degree got the associates to finance? Yes, yeah. And I again, at the time, I was not really paying attention to the difference between an associate's degree and a bachelor's degree. And to be honest, 35 years later, nobody asks anyway, other than today, which is lovely. So why did I do that? Well, because I thought I was going to be on that career path of the numbers side of what makes for successful organizations. And certainly, I can find my way around a cash flow forecast, analyze a balance sheet profit loss, or I used to be able to until the cows come home, but in the work that I was doing with businesses, the ones who'd come and say, Well, we're all going to be rich. We have this product or service lend me a million pounds. The ones that were successful and could pay us back were the ones I realized that didn't just have that great idea. They also invested as much cart time and attention in how business gets done, the people side, whether that's the people working in the company, the vendor relationships, or the customer relationships. But in the 90s, that was still the soft, fluffy stuff, it was still only just starting to emerge really as, as important as the numbers. And I went back to do my master's degree, knowing I was going to make that pivot into the people side, all while being a bank manager. So I had the pragmatic experience of running a business, whilst also now getting the book smarts around what does it take to to be a successful leader in what is now the 21st century?   Michael Hingson ** 15:45 So you decided volitionally, if you will, what you wanted to migrate some of the number side to the people side? Yes. What fascinates you about the people side, what made you really want to do that?   Morag Barrett ** 16:01 That despite however many billions of us there are on this planet, and how different people may assume we are from the get go, we're actually very much the same. And certainly in the NOW 20 plus years that I've been doing leadership and executive development with leaders around the world, it doesn't matter where on the planet you are, whether you're north slope, Alaska, working on an oil and gas drilling site, maybe down in Peru, working with a gold mining company, or working across Europe, with health care, clients, etc. It's the people issues, our the ability to push each other's buttons, the misunderstandings and miscommunications that get in the way of success, whether that's for me as a person or team or our company, every single day. And that's what I love is that the variety but the consistency of the problems that I'm helping others to solve,   Michael Hingson ** 17:00 no. And I would think certainly, it's a field and a world that by any standard is not as fixed as dealing with numbers, because with numbers you calculate, you can interpret. But then, when you start to go look at different economic trends, you get back to the whole people issue again, which is really what's the adventure?   Morag Barrett ** 17:28 Yeah, there's poetry in numbers, because there is, in theory, a right answer, or there is a style of algebra, you know, when you're doing resolving all of the equations, I love chemistry for the same reason and, and all of that. So I do love that. However, when it comes to the people piece, there is no one right answer. And everybody has to find a way that suits their, we use the word authentic too much, but their authentic self, their style, and bring it to bear in the context in which they're leading. So again, if I think about the leadership in North Slope, Alaska, where it literally is life or death, if I fall, it is a flight out to get to the nearest hospital. And of course, if the weather's closed in, it could be days, it could be weeks before that flight can happen. So there, it is very strict, you know, three points of contact to feet on the ground one hand on the handrail, amongst other rules that are designed to keep not just me safe, but the people who would have to take care of me if I have an accident. So it's much more directive much more strict. And this is how you will show up. But leadership and management pay in Littleton, maybe, for accessory or any other organization that you might be part of, it may be a little bit more hands off a bit more relaxed, or hey, you'll work it out. And it's just finding that right balance and knowing when to turn the dial up or turn the dial down, that differentiates the leaders we want to work for. And the ones where we just grown every time we see their name or email come in. The   Michael Hingson ** 19:10 other part about that I would say though, is take North Slope Alaska, most people would say, well, a person who's blind can't really work there. And that's the other part though, about people. We tend to lock ourselves into mindsets to ways of thinking without recognizing maybe there are other alternatives that may totally change or affect what we always start with so Oh, absolutely.   Morag Barrett ** 19:40 I mean, there's two sides to that. Michael, there's the I might typecast you as the finance person who happens to be blind, maybe we'll have seeing issues whatever. But it's only because I know you now and I don't know your backstory and your past career, etc. So being typecast by others, and therefore limited is frustrating. It's wrong. We need to break that model. But I think we also do it to ourselves. And I know only recently as I've started to regain my fitness, I went back on the treadmill telling myself, I'm only a power Walker. And now it turns out, I'm a jogger. And as of yesterday, I couldn't run on the treadmill. And I texted a girlfriend, I said, I ran at 7.3 miles an hour. And she came back going, Oh, my goodness, that's amazing. And I said, Well, yes, except it's context, I ran at 7.3 miles an hour, 30 seconds. So there is these limiting beliefs that are AI couldn't run. Now I am believing I can only run for 30 seconds at a time. So we'll see how I work on that. But then there are the beliefs that hold us back that others know you're no good with numbers. You can't be an engineer or you can't because you're a woman or you can't because you don't have full sight. And sometimes that's true, but more often it is. It's not true. There's a workaround, there's an adaption that we can do. That gives everybody an opportunity to thrive and flourish.   Michael Hingson ** 21:16 Worse. The other part of that is that sometimes it may be true because of the technology or the tools that we have developed today. I mean, for so far, yes. So far. So Roger Bannister, Roger Bannister broke the mold when he ran a mile in less than four minutes. And people said up until he did it, that it was a physical impossibility to run a mile in less than four minutes. And if anyone did, they would die. And then what 1966 I believe it was, he did.   Morag Barrett ** 21:54 And then about eight people followed, it's like when trains were first invented, and women couldn't possibly ride on a train because they would pass out. And if we go over 25 miles an hour, there won't be enough oxygen. So every time we push the envelope, I mean, you look at what's happening with AI and technology right now, it is both exhilarating and exciting, and terrifying. I was reading an article recently where electrodes had been implanted in a woman's brain who is paralyzed, and she was able to communicate, I think it turned out 70 words a minute, if you read that one, she could articulate words by thinking them at 70 words a minute, versus the eye flickering approach that she'd had to use, which was much, much slower. So the quality of life for I assume for her because the article didn't go into that must be better, because she can interact with those around her in a different way. And who knows how that will evolve. In the next few months, years, decades.   Michael Hingson ** 23:00 By recall, it's the first time that her husband heard her voice and it was her voice, which is the other part about it. And 18 years, I actually saw a news report, so I did hear her speak. And, and, and hear her complete sentences. And and of course, 20 years ago, 10 years ago, maybe even five years ago, we wouldn't have been able to see that happen. So there's no Rathod technology brings a lot to bear to make improvements. I mean, I love to talk about Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb in 1878. Right? So what was the electric light bulb is its is I use it in terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act, it's a reasonable accommodation for light dependent people who need to be able to see in the dark. But now, some 145 years later, what we have is technology that makes light on demand available, basically whenever we want. Now, it doesn't mean although people would deny it, it doesn't mean that the disability of light dependents isn't still there. Because we can still have situations where there's a power failure and suddenly you you lose light until you go find a smartphone or a flashlight or a candle   Morag Barrett ** 24:21 to bring with the oil lamp or the oil   Michael Hingson ** 24:25 lamp. Right. But but the reality is that it still is something that's there. So I love to point out that everyone has some sort of disability and we need to recognize that and stop limiting some just because what they need is different than what we need. Yes, but we make assumptions and it's unfortunate that we do so often. It is something that we we need to deal with and grow beyond and you know, how do we do that? I it's it's so difficult and frustrating because so many people don't seem to want to change from whatever their particular belief system is. They've never learned to really think about maybe we need to grow and look at things in a different way. How do we change that? Well, it   Morag Barrett ** 25:13 goes back to what we said earlier on one conversation and one interaction at a time. And I think it's easy to find the naysayers. And the blockers. I mean, just this week, a friend of mine shared, there was an event here in Colorado, and our whole group of people turned up with the opposing view t shirt and stood up and disrupted the whole event. And it's just, we're gonna find those people. They're easy to find they're right, you just step out your front door. However, there are also the hidden gems and the people who are ready and willing to listen and do different and let's start there. Yeah. But also, I wish for many of these conversations that we could move more quickly from conversation to action. And start getting that momentum   Michael Hingson ** 26:01 is one of my favorite things to talk about in speeches that I give. And you may know, I'm a keynote speaker, in addition to doing this, and I love to travel and speak, and a lot of people want to hear my September 11 story. But I also do a talk called moving from diversity to inclusion. And I titled it that, because when we talk about diversity and ask people to define it, what invariably they talk about is, well, diversity means something to do with race or sexual orientation or gender. They never talked about disabilities. And so some of us take the position. Well, all right. So diversity is left out disabilities. But if you're going to talk about being inclusive, and you say, but we include people with different races, but you don't include disability, so you're not inclusive, you know, you can't have it both ways. But one of the things that I love to do when I'm giving those talks is to start out, but I'm gonna ask you tell me what you think a blind person can't do. And that's not a trick question. It's not a trick.   Morag Barrett ** 27:07 It's not a trick question. Because I thought, Well, okay, maybe not a brain surgeon. But then again, with robotics, you know, you're actually listened to it being there actually, is what he's blind.   Michael Hingson ** 27:21 He's out, there you go. It's out. But that wouldn't be the number one answer that you get.   Morag Barrett ** 27:26 Oh, tell me a joke that you can't do. Oh, they're not do like, Family Fortunes or whatever. We have to pick the of our survey 100 People said, I don't know. Tell me Michael then. So what are they go to because I'm still have the well, you drive a car. And most things if you can do that now, because most cars can drive themselves   Michael Hingson ** 27:47 well, but that's different than driving a car. autonomous vehicle. So that's true for everyone. But the reality is that there is a video of a blind person driving a car, with technology that was put on the car to transmit to him the information of whatever is in front of him and around him or her. So that literally a blind person can learn to drive a car, literally, like you do. And there's a video it's up, you can go to a website, it's www dot Blind Driver Challenge dot Ford. And you can actually see a gentleman driving a car around the Daytona Speedway, right before the 2011 Rolex 24 race in January of 2011. And again, the the technology was was there. So it's not ready for primetime. But the point is that people make assumptions. And I love to ask that question, because invariably, the first answer, and if not the first, it's got to be one of the first few but typically, the first answer is can't drive a car. And then you go to all sorts of other things from there. And the fact of the matter is that nowadays, technology has advanced to the point where there is a way to do some of those things that we didn't think we could do before and you talked about it with the woman who had the brain implant that allows her to speak, which is pretty cool. Yes, it is, indeed. So you know, we we really need to find ways to deal with getting over our limiting thoughts. And we do limit ourselves all too often. And I think we're taught to do that. And it's to unfortunate that that's the case.   Morag Barrett ** 29:36 I have a section in my first book cultivate where I talk about the trash talk roller coaster, which I think is symptomatic of this self limiting belief. And I know I still ride what I call the trash talk roller coaster regularly, and it starts like this. This is awesome. And then something will happen to the project or the job or the relationship or the something that kind of moves it off the rails a bit which point we go to, oh, this is harder than I thought. And then we get to the, if it keeps on that route of this sucks, and then very quickly it goes from this sucks to, I suck, I must suck, because why can I do this? Why can I get this person to whatever? Why can't I get this project back on track? And then maybe the hopeful is that you come around the other side to well, it's not as bad as I thought it was. And you're fat. This is okay to back to this is awesome. And for me, it's the catching myself in the oh, this is harder of God, this sucks and trying to break my precondition patterns before it gets to the I suck, to differentiate the two to differentiate from the system that might be sucky. Or the yes, I'm bits because I'm new. I'm the beginner, I haven't learned how to do it yet, as opposed to I will never learn to do it. It   Michael Hingson ** 30:56 may very well be that your gift set is such that it whatever it might be isn't something that you specifically might do well. But you might be the person who can find someone who can help you do it well, which gets back to creativity.   Morag Barrett ** 31:17 Yes, definitely better together again, why keep going after if it's not something you enjoy doing? It's not something you aspire to, you've put in a few of the 10,000 hours and you know, you're not going to really be a what ready and willing to invest the time to get further then delegate subcontracted out find somebody else. I love that suggestion.   Michael Hingson ** 31:38 So you went off and you got your master's degree? And what was the degree in human resource management, human resource management? So it's your Yeah, you do that in England?   Morag Barrett ** 31:49 Yes, I did. And that was also coincide with the birth of my twins and moving into leadership development properly within the bank. And within a couple of years of that actually leaving the bank the safety of what would have been a career for life, if I had continued on the path of head down, work hard, and it will be okay. And taking a risk and joining an American company that ultimately ended up bringing us to Colorado. And there I went from a very UK England centric career in life and life experience, to now working with leaders around the world and living in a foreign country with a very similar but different language. And it was the first of the baby steps that really accelerated my transformation.   Michael Hingson ** 32:44 Well, talking about human resource management, too, with with twins, there's good human resource management there too.   Morag Barrett ** 32:54 A lot of refereeing. And so there's three of them now, because we had an another one as well. All boys. So the usual wrestling and hiking that goes on.   Michael Hingson ** 33:04 Yeah. And how old are all of them today?   Morag Barrett ** 33:08 Oh, 25 and 21. So dependent young men now who are off making their own pads and their own decisions. And   Michael Hingson ** 33:17 Mom has to be smarter about human resource management to get them to do things that she might want them to do because they've learned to think for themselves I bet   Morag Barrett ** 33:27 Oh, it's smarter in that I have to do it myself. Now Michael or out, outsource it. So now as an empty nester, I'm on my own. It's down to me if I want it to happen, I'd better get the YouTube video out and work it out. You   Michael Hingson ** 33:41 can't outsource it to them. Or news not as easy.   Morag Barrett ** 33:45 Not as easily. And to be honest, they can learn their own journey. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 33:52 but I bet they they still love mom. I bet.   Morag Barrett ** 33:58 I hope so. You'd have to ask them. I'm gonna go with Yes. Okay, ultimately, yes.   Michael Hingson ** 34:04 We'll buy that. Yeah. Yeah. So you moved. So why did you leave the bank and join a different company?   Morag Barrett ** 34:14 Because I saw an opportunity to, to learn and it goes back it's curiosity, to see what might happen if and I knew I wanted to be in leadership development. And if I stayed in the bank, it was always waiting for the next opportunity and time will get you there. But when you choose to take control of your own career and make those deliberate choices to move, you can accelerate that transition and so the opportunity to learn and work globally. Even that decision to move to the states was a big one. My mum had just passed away. We've moved house to be closer to family because family is important. And now we were being asked to move 5000 miles away to a different and country. And we thought about it long and hard. We talked with the family and we decided it was an adventure that was too good to miss. And even if it only lasted a couple of years, we should do that. In the end, it's now lasted. Where are we at? 2023 years to 2005 we came. So, you know, it's lasted a lifetime and actually, is now our home of choice. Yeah. Well, it's time flower and you're having fun. Hard   Michael Hingson ** 35:26 to Be Colorado. Now, is there anger? Yes, it is. Is there a husband in the picture?   35:34 Yes, there is. Yeah. So   Michael Hingson ** 35:36 he moved as well without too much muss or fuss, or?   Morag Barrett ** 35:40 Yeah, it was all as a combined unit. And then, as ever, life changes and moves on. So Colorado is definitely home with the boys being here. And I'm going back to visit my brother back in the UK in November. So I'm looking forward to that trip and seeing some of the old buildings and history. But also remembering why I like the blue sky and mountains of Colorado.   Michael Hingson ** 36:04 Yeah, needless to say, Well, you've so So do you still work for that company? Are you now totally on your own? Or what?   Morag Barrett ** 36:12 No, I'm totally on my own. So sky team is my company. I formed that in 2007. So for 16 years, we've been working in three ways with our clients, either one on one as executive coaches, with a intact teams on how do we ensure that this group of people is aligned around what does it take to be successful in their roles on the team through to broader leadership and executive development programs and had the opportunity now to work with leaders from 20 countries on six continents? All looking to? How do we solve the business challenges together, especially now in a 21st century in an in a hybrid environment where some people may be on site, some are working from home, and that additional complexity that may be factored in?   Michael Hingson ** 37:06 What do you think about the whole idea today of a hybrid environment, it's clearly the pandemic was one of the main causes for us to shift our thinking from just being in the office all day every day.   Morag Barrett ** 37:20 So I wish it hadn't been a global pandemic, with so many desks that was the catalyst for change. But my second book, The Future Proof workplace, really preempted the fact that many of our working processes and attitudes to career and work and office were rooted back in the 18th century in the industrial revolution, they had not morphed to keep up with the reality of what was now a knowledge work base in many cases versus a manufacturing work base. And the fact that as the pandemic showed, and work from home, work can be done from almost anywhere with the right tools and equipment. The challenge we saw Michael, though, was that people grab their bags and emergency evacuated the offices, assuming it was going to be two weeks, maybe a month, maybe three months, not expecting two years. And so the old leadership and management habits from in person, were force fitted, to working through the camera, and even now have not flexed to meet the needs of a hybrid workforce. And I think that's the biggest opportunity for us as individuals. And as teams and organizations continue to adapt and look forward.   Michael Hingson ** 38:43 Well, and we, we all need to grow. And, of course, my experience goes back to September 11, when something happened that we didn't expect, that affected a lot of the world. But I think the pandemic even more was an event that affects the world. And it forced more people to be directly involved in needing to change because what happened on September 11, affected a lot of us in a lot of different ways going through airport security is different and so on. But the pandemic really made major changes for all of us, including this whole hybrid idea. And I hear from so many people that in reality, it's probably a good thing overall because we we learned that that there is value in letting people work from home. And a lot of the times when people are opposed to it, it tends to be a trust issue rather than really an issue that is a true Yes.   Morag Barrett ** 39:48 Now, it is a trust issue. And I also agree that there is value in coming together in three dimensions. But it has to have a purpose and needs to be seen. Trucks should it needs to be thoughtful and deliberate. And why again, as I remember commuting into London, why would I want to spend an hour and a half going into the office to then spend the day there spend an hour and a half going home is 6am to 7pm. Schedule again, when I don't get to see the family unconditionally tired. Surely it's better to have those options to use technology. Like you and I are talking right now. We're having a powerful conversation, but we don't need to be in the same room. And yet, I know that if you and I were in the same room, depending on the nature of the discussion, and the decisions that had to be made, or the problem we're solving, it would be an even richer experience. So I think that's part of what we need to do individually and collectively is start making deliberate choices about how and when work happens. How and when team at work happens, how and when collaboration happens. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 40:57 And we need to recognize that there are a number of ways to make that happen. You know, for me, I'm used to talking with people, how do I say this, and not seeing them even being in the same room. So for me, one of the things I learned early when I started selling major accounting products, and doing it by phone, was that I use the same techniques to sell on the telephone that I would use if I were selling to a person sitting across the desk from them. Because Because the reality is that I communicate in the same way, which also means that I have to describe in the same way, now the value is changed, because we have things like zoom. So I can bring up a picture. Or I can show people things that I might not have been able to do in the past. So I can create a pretty rich experience. I think that all too often, when we talk about virtual as opposed to in person experiences, we do tend to limit ourselves a little bit with virtual experiences, we can make them richer than we think we can.   Morag Barrett ** 42:18 Hmm, yeah. So it's funny before the pandemic, my team and I were all leadership development, but it was if you want to be a better human, you need to do it in a room with other humans. And we rarely use Zoom or any sort of virtual facilitation, like everybody else, we had to learn quick, and I will I've eaten my words, because done well, this virtual environment can deliver many things. And I think about some of the friends that I've made during the pandemic never met them in three dimensions only met them through the camera. And yet, I would describe them as some of my trusted colleagues and life friends. In spite of that, or because of that, maybe, but again, it's being forced, and it's being thoughtful and deliberate versus just coming on the call hanging up at the end, getting on the next call, hanging up the end, we miss the subtleties and the cues of when we're in person. For example, your spidey sense might go off and say something about more eggs, voice sounds different words. And you may then follow me into the break room say hey, Maura, you okay, what's going on? And I might go with a British, nothing, Michael, it's fine. And then you're gonna know there's something and you'd keep going by and we don't get that, that you're not buying it. But we don't get those as easily as the thing to see through the camera. Again, unless as leaders and managers we are being thoughtful and deliberate in creating space for Scott to schedule spontaneity, creating space for small talk, creating space for just how are you doing, Michael? Versus the Okay, it's two o'clock, what are you doing, Michael, get on the Zoom call, show me a project plan.   Michael Hingson ** 44:06 Right. And I think that so using your example, if I detected that, from you during a zoom presentation, as soon as it was done, I would be halfway through dialing you on the phone to say what's going on. And   Morag Barrett ** 44:23 that, to me is an ally behavior. That's what being a friend at work is is I may be imagining it but are you okay? And I'm just checking in and the more we do that, the more we build trust, the more I build trust, the more I'm going to be willing to ask for an offer help or give you the tough feedback you need to hear. And ultimately then we are all better together.   Michael Hingson ** 44:45 Why should we care about our professional relationships? What's what's the value and really doing that? I think I know how you're going to answer that but me ready.   Morag Barrett ** 44:56 Maybe I should ask you and then we'll compare. So here's Just go ahead. No, no. All right. So why should we care because all of the research shows that it has a direct impact on our happiness, our health, and our success, whether that's measured in productivity by the corporate overlords, or in terms of success for our own career aspirations. Everything that we do, is impacted by the health and quality of the relationships that we build, whether it's on our team, across the industry, and so on, it matters.   Michael Hingson ** 45:33 And to me, it goes back to trust. Because we value our relationships, and we cultivate our relationships, we create more of a trusting relationship, which I think is so crucial. That's why I love talking about dogs, dogs don't trust unconditionally, they love unconditionally, but they don't trust unconditionally, but what dogs do is be open to trust, which is where we tend to. And so I very much value the relationship I have with my guide dogs. And I know that in reality, the trust is truly earned on both sides when we do. It is all about making that trusting relationship happen. And   Morag Barrett ** 46:21 also, it's the how you both respond to each other when the inevitable mistakes will happen. Yep. And how do you come back from that? And I've seen too many leaders who will either say, Well, Michael, welcome to my team, you know, and subtext is two years prove prove that you're worthy of my trust? Well, at the pace of change, right now, two years, you don't have two years, you have six months at best, maybe three. So why don't we talk through? What does success look like? What am I hot buttons? What do you need from me? What do I expect from you. And then we can accelerate that whole process.   Michael Hingson ** 46:58 As a sales leader, whenever I hired people. I've talked about it before on this podcast, one of the first discussions I have with people is I'm not here to boss you around, I hired you because I believe you can sell, but I have gifts, you have gifts. What I need to do, as your leader is to work with you to find out how I can add value to what you do to make you more successful. And the people who get that word, the people who didn't did the last one. Yeah, but but it's so true. I think any good leader needs to see how they can add value to the work, and the work ethic and the work experience of the people who work for them, and how they can enhance those people. And that's what it's really about. That's not easy to do for a lot of people, but it's what we really need to do.   Morag Barrett ** 47:54 Well, the challenge is we get promoted for doing something I mean, I think about banking, and you get promoted for processing your in Tray really well. Well, now I've got this unconscious bias, maybe that success is equivalent to how many widgets I made by Morag. But once you start moving through the organization, to your point, it's not about how many widgets can I make is how many widgets can I inspire and engage the team to make is getting results through others. And if we aren't amongst all of the other changes, and transitions, if we aren't aware of it, then we become that micromanager that's trying to control instead of somebody who coaches feedback delegation. And that's where we start to stifle ourselves and others and then maybe coming back full circle, it triggers those limiting beliefs of will maybe I'm not a good boss, or a leader, because look, my team isn't delivering. And we get into that trash talk cycle again, all for the sake of a little perspective and unlearning the habits that made us successful at this leadership level, and relearning or learning the new habits in a different way that will help us in that new environment or new context,   Michael Hingson ** 49:03 we will biggest mistakes or what are the common mistakes that people make in nurturing their professional relationships.   Morag Barrett ** 49:11 So I'm gonna go with it's a dichotomy. One is assuming that it's going to take a lot of time. And the reality is not necessarily. So if I ask listeners now to think about a best boss, best colleague, somebody who jumped at the chance to work with again, and what makes them special. So Michael, for you, who comes to mind, somebody you would love to work with, again, if you had the opportunity. Sure.   Michael Hingson ** 49:37 And there are a few. One is a guy I've talked about on the podcast before Kevin, who I hired and who really got the whole sales presentation, the whole sales pitch that I gave about how we add value. And yeah, I have some wonderful stories about that. But I think we all have that and, you know, I thought about My comment that I made earlier about trust, I think more of us want to have trust in your relationships than then have them. But we've not learned or we've forgotten how to develop those relationships.   Morag Barrett ** 50:12 Yeah, well, we talked about it in you, me, we, we talked about the fact that if you want trust, if you want more relationships, strong, powerful relationships in your network, then you have to go first and show up as that person for others and for you. So if I close the loop on this, and it not taking long, everybody's now thinking about their equivalent of Kevin. So my challenge my double dog dare challenge to everybody is to the extent you can send your Kevin, your best boss or colleague a message after this podcast that says, Hey, I was listening to Michael. And they asked about best colleagues and I thought of you and here's why. And in that nanosecond, whether it's a LinkedIn message, an email, a text message to the universe, you have made a deposit into that relationship bank account, and it took you two minutes less than that. That's how easy it is. But we think it's going to be complicated. So it's, it's making it a choice, making it a habit, I have a Friday 30 minute slot that comes up on my calendar that reminds me to send text messages and messages to people who are important to me, that says, hey, thinking of you, I even had one on a Saturday to text my sons. And it's not cheating. And it's not, because I'm a bad mother that I need the reminder. But it is the prompt, that make sure that I follow through more often than not, that means that we are more connected. And so do that. Find your 30 minutes, spend 15 minutes at the beginning of your next staff meeting, asking how people are what they did for fun over the holiday weekend, and start bringing the human to work, not just the work?   Michael Hingson ** 51:54 Well, there's nothing wrong with that prompt, we all tend to get diverted no matter how seriously or how firmly we have something in mind. So I have Trump's I, you know, when we have on our calendars and like, I use Outlook, there's a Birthday Calendar, there are so many different calendars. And I put notes just to make sure that I remember different things throughout the year. I think it's a very useful thing to do.   Morag Barrett ** 52:24 We do it with our passwords. Now most of us have a password manager, why not have a human and a relationship manager to that can help us and for those who see every day, it's easy for those who might be living in the next state or you only see once a quarter, then again, it's just about repetition and making those choices, but the benefits, health, happiness and success. Are you the team and the organization.   Michael Hingson ** 52:53 So what are the four? Yes? Is that you identifying having building relationships? Oh, wow. So   Morag Barrett ** 53:01 the four yeses are four questions that we are asking ourselves consciously or subconsciously in every interaction. You and I were asking about each other, your listeners are asking, or we're asking it about me and this conversation. And question number one is, Can I count on you? Can I count on Michael and Morag to have an engaging conversation and get it done within you know, the 30 minutes to 45 minutes? That's as advertised? it's table stakes is do your job. Question two is can I depend on them? Can I depend on them not just to go wow, are each other and fill the time? But can you turn depend on us to go the extra mile to make it fun and engaging to make you stop and listen and go? Hmm, that was interesting. So at work that might be can you depend on me to go the extra miles spot the typo in a document to fix the formula in the spreadsheet? But either way, these are my finance career people these two questions Can I count on you? Can I depend on you? Transactional, you do your stuff? I'll do mine will be fine. questions three and four, however, move from transactional to transformational. Question number three is do I care about you? Do I care about you as a human being? Do I understand your backstory? Do I understand a little about your lived experience and what's happening in your world right now? And then ultimately, question number four. We've touched on it when we talked about your dog when we talked about working relationships. Do I trust you? And if we don't get to a heck yes on all four of these, if we don't make the implicit explicit on those, then you're never going to get to what I call an ally relationship, your friend at work the person who has your back, or the person that you can go to in the time of need,   Michael Hingson ** 54:49 and we don't emphasize that nearly as much as we should. In our in our world with all the things going on in our in our world today. All the sound bites on The news and all the different political things and everything else. We we don't get to that. Which is so unfortunate. And   Morag Barrett ** 55:08 it is. And then we worry why wonder why people don't want to stay the extra hour to help you out of a pickle, that when you find yourself on the job market looking for the next opportunity, people aren't returning your calls. So the time to invest in your relationships is now before you need other people. And the time to be abundant and generous with your own time and expertise is now when others need you. So it's a balance. And it's two sides of the same coin.   Michael Hingson ** 55:39 Yeah, exactly. So you have written three books, when did you write your first one? And what are each of them about?   Morag Barrett ** 55:47 So there is a theme. So the first book is cultivate the Power of Winning Relationships. And that was published in 2014. And it introduces the relationship dynamics that we experience in the workplace from allies, our best friends at work, unconditional have my back, give me the tough love, and the kick in the pants when I need it. Supporters, more like fairweather friends, you know, when it goes and gets tough and you ask for help, it's crickets. They'll give me the feedback, they want to hear, Oh, you're fine, but not the feedback I need to hear. Then we have rivals a little bit more elbow jockeying one day, they might be all for me. And the next day, they're against me and uncertainty. So like Jekyll and Hyde, and then adversaries, the continually tense relationships that just fill me with dread. And so cultivate introduced that ecosystem and was very powerful, and still is in helping to transform team and organizational cultures. But we were consistently asked, Yeah, but how do I show up as an ally? What does that mean? And that was the genesis, I was just pointing Michael to the third book on behind me as a picture of the cover, which is called you, me we, why we all need a friend at work and how to show up as one, which is how do we show up as an ally for others, but also for ourselves and not become a doormat? And that was published last year. And in between the two, I have a book called The Future Proof workplace, which I mentioned earlier in our conversation.   Michael Hingson ** 57:22 So do you think everyone should have allies? You should have at least one otherwise?   Morag Barrett ** 57:26 Oh, my goodness, what a lonely place the world of work. Yeah. So it's, it's not like Facebook, this is not about converting every relationship. It's quality, not quantity. But yes, having at least one person on your team or in your organization that you can go to when you are having a good day and celebrate your wins, but also go to and say oh my goodness, I just messed up that podcast interview with Michael and they'll listen, but then they'll coach me through it. Or they'll perhaps come to me and say, Hey, I listened to that conversation with Michael. And here's what you did well, and here's what you could do differently next time. That's the power of an ally, they help us to be better, and reduce the fear of failure.   Michael Hingson ** 58:12 And they do it out of love. They don't do it out of spite. And they do it because they truly want to be supportive. And they trust yes, that you're going to accept that they're doing it for the right reasons.   Morag Barrett ** 58:27 Indeed, so doing it out of love, which, again, in an HR appropriate way in the workplace. And it may mean that we are best friends that work for this project. But when I leave, if I move back to the UK, we may lose touch, that's fine. It isn't necessarily that we are going to be best buddies forever or that I need to take you home to meet my mother and we're going to hang out after work. But definitely when we talk about psychological safety building a high trust team, than having an Ally Mindset and the ally behaviors, that mean we are working together and not against each other. That is the secret to success.   Michael Hingson ** 59:07 What's one thing that anyone can do to become a better ally?   Morag Barrett ** 59:12 Well, the first thing I'm going to suggest is to complete our Ally Mindset Profile because then you'll get your personal insights as to the five practices and where you might want to invest some care and attention. So you can do that at Skye team S k y e, Team dot cloud, forward slash youmewe, and all by the book and bounce the first thing and there is that but in the book we talk about the first step in becoming an ally is to look up to assess the relationship health around you. So simply by asking, How do I want others to feel in my presence? How do I feel in my presence? And the answer to that question will help to inform how you may need to show up, and what behaviors you may need to step up and do differently in order to shift your leadership influence and reputation.   Michael Hingson ** 1:00:12 And I think one of the important things about how to become a better ally is to also start by deciding that you want to be   Morag Barrett ** 1:00:23 yes. Now, if you want to be seen as the brilliant jerk at work, the pain at the end of the misunderstood genius, fine, go wild. Thankfully, there aren't many people most of us are getting up because we want to do a good job to feel like our voice and our opinion matters. And to feel like we belong, we started in the green room earlier talking about diversity and inclusion. Those are the three things and having being an ally. And having an Ally Mindset. Being an ally means that maybe that feeling of belonging is just between you and I to start with. But then it's you and I and to others, and then it's the four of us and another team. And before you know it, you've got a culture within your organization that truly does tap into the talents   Michael Hingson ** 1:01:09 of everybody. And that's what you really want is to build that kind of a real close team. Yes. Well, this has been fun. And I guess I would ask if people want to reach out to you and learn more about you maybe engaged some of your services or whatever, and also buy your books. How do they do that? Well, first   Morag Barrett ** 1:01:36 of all, please do connect with me on LinkedIn, and you'll get to see some of the newsletters and showcase some of our work there. Feel free to message me via LinkedIn, it's me the answers, not a bot. And then you can also check out some of our work at Skye team S k y e Team at.com, our comm corporate website and the books. They're available from all retailers and currently in Paperback or hardback, Kindle, and audio with the audio of cultivate being available next spring.   Michael Hingson ** 1:02:09 So Did did you self publish or did the publishing company publish?   Morag Barrett ** 1:02:16 I've done all versions of publishing but we chose to self published you may we it gave us more creative license over what we wanted to do. And the three of us my best friends at work are expensive and Ruby Vasily. Not only did we write the book together, but we also recorded the audio book together. So now that you've heard the accent, if you wish to continue that theme, then you will hear more of it on the audio version of Umi. We   Michael Hingson ** 1:02:42 will There you go. That's enough to have to work on that. And I really very much not work on the accent work on getting the books. Oh, yeah, I   Morag Barrett ** 1:02:53 understood. But I   Michael Hingson ** 1:02:55 really have enjoyed this. Well, what's your, your name on LinkedIn? How do people find you on LinkedIn,   1:03:01 Morag, M o r a g. It's a Scottish name means great. So Morag Barrett B a, double r e double T. And you will see my picture there and find me.   Michael Hingson ** 1:03:12 There you go. So I hope people will do that.

We had the pleasure of interviewing UMI over Zoom video!R&B singer-songwriter UMI announces her new EP talking to the wind out January 19. She also releases the second track off the project, “why dont we go.”talking to the wind follows UMI's critically acclaimed debut album Forest in the City (2022), which Rolling Stone praised for its expansive “sun-soaked electro R&B” and “moody slow jams.” The new 4-track project sees UMI in a confident new light as she fully embraces love, life, but above all, feeling okay with being lost in the world. Her first independent release, talking to the wind was written during a transitional period. Ultimately, UMI found wisdom and the creative motivation to write the EP through meditation and getting in touch with the elements by literally speaking with the wind.UMI's second offering from the project, “why dont we go,” begins with reverberating vocals before funk-infused guitar and a snapping bass line come into play. It's the perfect backdrop for an upbeat anthem about throwing caution to the wind and falling in love. The accompanying video is a playful celebration of youth and beauty. UMI and her friends are the epitome of carefree as they dance around a sunlit room.“This song is about enjoying your eternal youth, to be playful, to be free, to not think so much about life. Through the lyrics I paint a scene of me falling in love with someone I met for the first time, dancing through the night and forgetting my parents advice. ‘why don't we go' is me inviting myself and the other person to just let go and to live for the sake of living—even if it's just for one night,” UMI says of the single.“why dont we go” channels many of the same themes as UMI's previous single “happy im,” released on August 11, existing in the same sonic universe but paired with a more danceable beat. Upon release, “happy im” was praised by outlets like Billboard and Vibe, which raved “UMI is a whimsical, enchanting dream personified. With her new single, ‘happy im,' she kicks off her 2023 in bliss.” V Magazine said that “the infectiously uplifting track is enough to cheer audiences up instantaneously.” And Numéro Netherlands summed up her trajectory, stating that UMI is “gearing up for a prolific, passionate, and powerful new season.”On November 27, UMI will host two meditation events at Lune Souleil in Downtown Los Angeles. An extension of the meditations she leads before each of her concerts, UMI and attendees will celebrate that evening's beaver moon aka the November full moon. At both the 7 pm PT and 9 pm PT meditations, UMI will lead group breathing and a sound bowl session to infuse the power of the moon into attendees.On December 2, UMI will join Jhené Aiko at Oakland Arena, where she'll perform her new singles from talking to the wind as well as hits from Forest in the City. Coco Jones and Tink will also make special appearances as openers.With only a debut album under her belt, UMI has quietly risen to the forefront of R&B. Beyond tens of millions of streams, Complex hailed her as one of the “20 R&B Artists to Watch in 2023,” noting, “Even if you aren't familiar with the name yet, it's highly probable you've heard her voice. UMI is just getting started and feels poised for greatness.” Beyond plugs from MTV, Vogue and more, Pitchfork said that “her growth is both exciting and compelling.”ABOUT UMI:UMI is a 24-year-old Seattle native pioneering a new sound rooted in neo soul and folk. Her deepest intention is to use her music as a vessel for healing and human connection. Meaning ocean in Japanese, "umi" is a beautiful reflection of her artistry - soothing like a day spent in nature.
