How Can a Megastar like Taylor Swift Not Own the Recordings to Her Hits?Guest: Erin Jacobson, The Music Industry Lawyer, IndieArtistResource.comSay what you will about Taylor Swift -she is one of the most powerful women in music. This is the hit single off her album Lover, which just came out last week but is already the biggest-seller of 2019 in the US. But Taylor Swift's enormous power does not, it turns out, extend to ownership of the songs that made her famous. Swift owns none of the master recordings form her first six albums. Again, Taylor Swift –one of the biggest pop stars in the world does not own the master recordings for any of her hits. They belonged to her former music label, Big Machine Records, which just sold them to talent manager Scooter Braun for $300 million. And Taylor Swift is really not happy about that. Braun is her nemesis apparently? So last week she announced she's going to rerecord all of her earlier music so she can have a copy that she owns. Which is all so confusing. How can she not own her music? There's No Need to Thank Your Digital Assistant, for NowGuest: James Gaskin, PhD, Associate Professor of Information Systems, BYU Marriott School of BusinessWe're awfully bossy with our digital assistants. Every once in a while I catch myself almost saying thanks. It feels a little wrong to just bark orders. Alexa doesn't seem to mind either way. But there's been some handwringing of late about how interacting with Alexa and Google and Siri is making us forget our manners.  Back to School Tips for ParentsGuest: Denise Pope, Senior Lecturer in Education, Stanford University, Founder of Challenge Success, Co-author of “Overloaded and Underprepared: Strategies for Stronger Schools and Healthy, Successful Kids”A new school year can be a chance at a fresh start for your family. A chance to try some new strategies for managing the homework battles and helping your child cope better with the stress of school.  Baking Your Own HappinessGuests: Michael Platt, Head Baker and Spokesperson for Michaels Desserts; Danita Platt, Michael's MotherMichael Platt started his bakery “Michaels Desserts” when he was 11. That was two years ago. For every cupcake or cookie he sells, he donates one to someone in need. “A cupcake won't end hunger,” Michael admits on his website. But “a tasty treat, when times are tough, can make life sweeter.” I couldn't agree more. In the Wake of Mass Shootings, How Should the Government Police Online Hate Speech?Guest: David Kaye, Clinical Professor of Law at the University of California, Irvine, UN Special Rapporteur, Author of “Speech Police”At the G7 summit over the weekend, French president Emmanuel Macron tried to muster support for a pledge to fight online hate speech. He'd hoped to get all the G7 countries, plus Facebook, Snapchat and Google to sign on. But the US wouldn't sign on for “legal reasons,” according to a report from Reuters. The pledge Macron hoped to have signed builds on something called the Christchurch Call –which is a commitment by governments and tech companies to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online. It came about after the mass shootings at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand earlier this year. The US is, also, not a signer of the Christchurch Call.  Biomedical Engineers Pave Way for Prosthetic Arm that Can Move and Feel the Same as a Human ArmGuests: Gregory Clark, Biomedical Engineering Associate Professor; Keven Walgamott, Participant of the Study and Real Estate Agent from West Valley CityIf you want to change the radio station in your car, your hand will move somewhat unconsciously and change the channel. Your brain sends it a signal to move and it does—almost immediately. And the reality is, we usually take that for granted. But for amputees, it's not something to take lightly. These signals are the difference between a human hand and a prosthetic hand. Until recently. University of Utah biomedical engineers have figured out how to make a computer relay those messages from your brain—to a prosthetic limb. The “LUKE” arm as its been nicknamed, due to its similarities to Luke Skywalker's prosthetic limb in Star Wars, allows for amputees to have a prosthetic arm that feels touch and responds to brain signals just as a human hand would.

Today young people are trying to balance the question of “What do I want to do when I grow up?” with the question of “Who and how do I want to be in the world?” Physician and writer Abraham Verghese and education researcher Denise Pope argue that’s because the way we educate for success doesn’t support the creation of full, well-rounded humans. And they see the next generation challenging our cultural view of success by insisting that a deeply satisfying life is one filled with presence, vulnerability, and care for others. Abraham Verghese is a professor of medicine, vice chair of the Department of Medicine, and Linda R. Meier and Joan F. Lane Provostial Professor at Stanford University. His books of fiction and non-fiction include “My Own Country,” “The Tennis Partner,” and the novel “Cutting for Stone.” He received the National Humanities Medal from President Obama in 2016. Denise Pope is a senior lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Education and the co-founder of the non-profit organization Challenge Success. She’s the author of “Doing School: How We Are Creating a Generation of Stressed-Out, Materialistic, and Miseducated Students;” and a co-author of “Overloaded and Underprepared: Strategies for Stronger Schools and Healthy, Successful Kids.” Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.

Dr. Dan welcomes back the inspiring educator, author, and co-founder of Challenge Success. Dr. Denise Pope for Episode 51. Today’s show focuses how to help your child find the right college match. This discussion is based Denise’s recent Challenge Success research and white paper on college admissions. This episode will help parents better navigate the college search and admission process with their child. In this episode, Dr. Dan and Denise have a provocative discussion about the complex college research, search and decision making process.  Denise’s research and paper shift the paradigm on the college selection journey and the result is a less stressful (and hopefully healthier and happier) experience for parents and children -- before, during and after college selection. Research reveals that #2 stressor for high school students today is applying to college (the #1 source of stress is overload). Happily, Denise’s work reveals in its largest finding that the key to success is not where you go to college but how you go. The right fit means your child will and can engage and therefore thrive in college and thrive later in life. This research challenges established opinions about colleges and will change the way every parent think about future education of their child. In this interview Denise gives great guidance on how to select the right schools to apply to and the important considerations including: Engagement - finding mentors, internships, inspiring professors, your preferred major Community - find your people! Climate and location (city vs. country) Size of the school Dr. Dan asks Denise to offer one single piece of advice for all families on the college hunt and her answer will provide instant relief to parent and students: have faith and confidence that YES your child will find the right school and will be happy! The new research demonstrates that there is a place for everyone and that there really is NO significant difference between schools - ivy leagues and so-called top tier schools included. The show wraps up with Denise’s Parent Footprint moment -- kids are always watching the behavior we model whether it is driving or restaurant etiquette or applying to college.

Megan's conversation with Dr. Denise Pope this week is a must listen for parents! Dr. Pope is an author and senior lecturer at Stanford University and the founder of an organization called Challenge Success. Its mission is to partner with schools, families, and communities to promote a broad definition of success and to implement research-based strategies so that all kids are healthy and engaged with learning. Dr. Pope talks about the unspoken messages we send our kids about what we value and want to instill in them and how that might be at odds with what we, as parents, say that we value. Understanding that parenting in the age of over scheduling and social media can feel overwhelming as parents struggle to make the best choices for our families, Dr. Pope offers research backed information that kids need downtime, playtime, and family time daily. They need families and schools that are safe places to make mistakes and learn from them. Challenge Success has done the heavy lifting of compiling all the research parents want and presenting it in an accessible way as we all learn more about the connection between academic health, physical health and emotional health.

Dr. Dan welcomes the amazing educator, author, and co-founder of Challenge Success. Dr. Denise Pope on this episode. Today’s show focuses on helping our children and our schools (and ultimately our families) help our children find balance and deal with stress. This is a provocative topic and will challenge parents everywhere. Dr. Pope explains success is not linear. Her work aims to turn our thinking about learning, education, and success upside down (just like her logo!). Dr. Pope believes success is measured over the course of a lifetime (*not one semester!) and believes that our society has become too focused on grades, test scores, and performance, leaving little time for kids to develop the necessary skills to become resilient, ethical, and motivated learners. Dr. Dan and Dr. Pope dive deep into the topic of wellbeing and why she wants us all to move away from the narrow notion of success and expand our definition of it. Our children are suffering (as a result of sleep deprivation, depression, anxiety and more – all triggered by stress) and it has to stop. Dr. Pope share with Dr. Dan solutions and how Challenge Success provides families and schools with practical, research-based tools they need to create a more balanced and academically fulfilling life for their kids. Finally Dr. Pope’s discussion about the topic of an engaged child and student is revolutionary. This concept applies to parents and students alike. The whole child matters! Dr. Pope’s Parent Footprint moment is very insightful and also personal. The story about picking up her own daughter in first grade and always asking how she did on her spelling test was a light-bulb moment because it gave her insight into the stress her own child was experiencing as a result of this conversation. It became an important a-ha moment in her own parenting journey and of course in her work.
