Ingrid Piller speaks with Aneta Pavlenko about multilingualism through the ages. We start from the question whether the world today is more multilingual than it was ever before. Spoiler alert: we quickly conclude that no, it is not. One of the reasons why the world may seem more multilingual today than in the past lies in the European nationalist project, which culminated in the “population exchanges” of the 20th century – the great “unmixing of peoples”, as Lord Curzon called it. As a result, languages became associated with nations and this linguistic nationalism continues to guide views of language today. Can linguistic nationalism ever be unthought? Maybe because languages are now so deeply intertwined with nationalist projects, we have become much more emotional about language and languages than people may have been in the past. This is true even of academic research, where there can be significant pressure to bring our emotions into our research, too. How to deal with such pressures is another thread that runs through our conversation. We reflect on our own academic careers and what lessons they may or may not hold for early career researchers today.

 Web: www.fourfourmag.com/ The Local Selection series returns to the techno capital of Ireland, Mullingar, as Mutate boss man Jay Carroll steps for an impressive 2 hour mix with an array of techno delights. Jay began DJing at ripe age of 16 and by 18 he was asked to be resident at Disco Nouveau, a long running underground club night in his hometown of Mullingar. Fast forward a couple of years and he was invited to be resident at Twelfth Planet until he decided to begin his own journey as an independent promoter. With a career spanning well over a deacde Jay has graced some of Irelands most iconic venues such as; Tripod, The Tivoli Theatre, The Twisted Pepper and more. The Twisted Pepper (now Wigwam) has been home to many of Jay's show's and provided cathartic techno experiences for many punters. Since 2013 Mutate Events has been focused on bringing quality techno to Dublin with such artists as; Jeroen Search, Roman Lindau, Lewis Fautzi, Stefan Vincent, Abstract Division, Tensal, Abdulla Rashim, Tripeo, Mama Snake, Volvox, Amotik, Jamaica Suk, Rune Bagge, Héctor Oaks, Silent Servant, UVB, Charlton, RIVET along with many, many more. You get the jist…Jay most definitely knows what he's at. Working alongside and garnering support from some of the longest running nights Ireland has to offer such as Jamie Behan's Bastardo Electrico, Subject, Life Festival & Research, he has given his all to promoting a vibrant underground scene for the capital. He has a bi-weekly radio show on Ireland's number one online radio station, alongside his residents, UNTHINK, Corner, Exit the Void & Niall Cleary on Dublin Digital Radio, where he showcases the best upcoming talent Ireland's techno scene has to offer. This mix offers a slice of what Jay is all about, an ensemble of techno of various sorts rolled into a warped two hour trip. Jay made a point of playing unreleased music from various Irish producers including Aero, Fyun, David O'neil, Offtrack and more. A smooth yet carnivorous trip around Jay's back catalogue leaves the listener on the edge of their seat, unsure of what gnarly turn the mix might take next. This is the techno equivalent of a page turner novel.

Als langjährige Kapitänin der deutschen Nationalmannschaft hat Janne Müller-Wieland ihr Team bei den Olympischen Sommerspielen 2016 in Rio de Janeiro zu einer Bronzemedaille geführt.

Inzwischen gibt Janne ihre Erfahrungen nicht nur im Sport weiter, sondern auch im Businessbereich als Mitgründerin von Unthink. Im Interview sprechen wir über Janne's mentale Stärken, den Umgang mit Fehlern, die Bedeutung mentaler Stärke im Hockey und wie du es schaffst, immer wieder neue Herausforderungen zu meistern.

An online event hosted by Trinity Long Room Hub to mark the launch of Approximate Formality - Morphology of Irish Towns by Valerie Mulvin architect of the TLRH. Professor Linda Doyle (Provost Elect of Trinity College Dublin) will speak, along with an introduction to the book by author Valerie Mulvin, followed by Q&A. "Approximate Formality" discusses the origin, originality and potential of towns and town plans in Ireland, from earliest times to the Famine, so they can be understood as a part of European and world culture. When people are genuinely looking for more sustainable ways to live lightly on the earth, this book opens the possibility of sustainable re-use of these brilliant places, bringing life back to what is actually an instant environment, based on an understanding of their significance. The book's intention is to highlight the originality and excitement of these places, not just as old things re-made, but as potentially a whole new way of looking at living. “This book is partly a lockdown project and partly the completion of something which has been with me for over 20 years. Since my work on the book started, Ireland has also changed. During lockdown, lots of people have moved out of cities to new lives in the countryside - particularly in small Irish towns. This is a natural process, but it brings huge opportunities to those towns at a key moment. This book is timely in showing how an understanding of their architecture and urban design serves to support ways in which Irish towns might be carefully conserved, and sustainably developed, to provide homes for thousands of additional people. This is one of the key questions for Ireland now. If it is answered originally, it will be Ireland's significant contribution to world culture for the next number of years.” – Valerie Mulvin Valerie Mulvin is an architect and co-founder of McCullough Mulvin Architects in Dublin, and a member of Aosdána. She works in Ireland and internationally to make innovative contemporary architecture which is sensitive to place and context, using radical conservation to stitch old and new fabric together to sustain towns and cities for a new generation. Valerie has travelled extensively studying urban history, space and design, re-connecting Irish experience to its European origins. Her research on Irish towns began with a M.Litt in Trinity College Dublin in the early 1990's. Previous books include "A Lost Tradition - The Nature of Architecture in Ireland". "Approximate Formality" is extensively illustrated with new plans, maps and images, many of which are being published in Ireland for the first time. It is designed by Unthink and published by The Anne Street Press. It will be available in hardback for €35 from all good book shops.

In this episode of The Future Focused Podcast I share the five financial apps you must have on your phone, and share a little on how to use each one to level up your leadership and design a more dynamic life.  Finances matter. They really do. You can't lead others nor live your best life if the weight of financial strife is holding you back and impairing your decisions. While these five apps are extremely helpful and will give you an edge, it takes personal discipline to manage your money. These are not get-rich-quick apps or anything like that. These are apps that help you spend less, budget, keep an eye on your money, invest, and learn about finances.  Money matters. To be a good leader and to design a dynamic life, you need to master your finances, and mastering your finances begins with mastering yourself. You need to be extremely disciplined. Rules I follow: Eliminate Debt. Build savings. Create multiple revenue streams. Invest.  You need these buckets. You do need to have fun too.  This podcast will serve you well. Let me know what app I should have included and why in the comments below.  Kelly Want to give your child or a child you know the gift of confidence and tools to tackle worry and anxiety?

What are you trying to avoid?  When opportunity knocks, be sure you have the space available to take advantage of it.  Pick up the book "Unthink" to identify and reverse patterns you may have developed that are no longer serving you. Be willing to be a work-in-progress. 

"It was good until it wasn't." Erik Wahl valued hard work and success. Achievement + money were his measurement and, by his early 30s, he was very successful in corporate America. Until he wasn't. During the dot-com bust in 2000, Erik lost the "financial fortress" he'd built and his identity along with it. This led him to ask the life-changing question:"Who were you before the world told you who you should be?" Erik answered this question, made BIG changes in his life + redefined success. Now, as a performance graffiti artist, he helps clients like IBM, Microsoft and Disney answer this bold question, too. Today, we're going to "unearth great things lying dormant inside" of you. Join us!  SHOW NOTES: Watch the entire episode on YouTube. Often we're rewarded based on the 3 Deadly P's: Power, prestige + possession.   Our script for how to live is off, we tend to live with a scarcity mindset. "I must secure what's mine so I can build; there's not enough available." Choose abundance instead. When you're rocked at your core foundation - financial, relational, health - you realize you long for something more. "As a speaker, I bypass the cynical brain + go straight to the heart. I stretch minds so we can see everything a bit differently." A mind stretched never returns to its original dimensions. Create for the sake of creating, not the finished product. I changed my definition of success: "What if success is a good meal with my wife and boys at the end of the day? I don't need certain life elements to be a certain way to be successful." Today, Erik is a performance graffiti artist. Check out John's behind the scenes tour of Erik's studio. Opportunity for love, relationship and empathy are hidden in plain sight. Don't be too "successful" to see them. Better leaders are more creative + adapt to change. Everyone is creative, but our creativity is hidden in uncertainties + the quietness of life... a space we don't often enter. Creativity, like gratitude, is a discipline. Embrace the choice to be creative like you embrace doing other difficult things. When asked "Who here is an artist?" Every hand goes up when we're kids, very few as adults. Why? Hear Erik's answer. "Let go of the idea that we 'earn value' through how we perform on paper, what college our kids go to, what car we drive." How do I pivot into this? Look at your life + values. Are you living a life of success or significance? Does your calendar reflect your priorities? Art is an exploration of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Can I get out and dance with my wife and not let the critics or my own internal voice of judgement stop me from the enjoyment of moving with someone I love? How do we encourage the next generation to hold tight to their crayons? Commission your child to create. While doodling, they're thinking expansively + problem solving, not for a grade. "Paint a picture of what you want to be when you grow up, and I'll take you for ice-cream... Write a poem about how much you love your mom, and I'll take you to a game." Ask questions about your child's creation. It gives you insight to who they are. Spontaneity is a mini lab to practice living present in the now. Follow Erik at www.TheArtofVision.com Demarius "found" Erik's first geo-cached painting.  Erik dedicated his books Unthink and The Spark & The Grind to his wife and business partner, Tasha. For those of us enduring a trying season in our marriage, what would you say? Focus on why you got married, to: Lift each other up, help your spouse become the very best, become better as two then we could be as one. You entered into it with excitement, love and lust; revisit those emotions.  It's how you act and react to bumps in the road that defines your marriage. ERIK WAHL'S LIVE INSPIRED 7 1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? The Soul of Money by Lyn Twist. It changed my relationship with what had been a dominant identity for me. 2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do with it? Decreasing my wants and needs has been the most fiscally conservative policy I could have taken on. We'd use it to give to others; build traction for someone else's vision.. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? One of my wife's photo albums because I know how much she would want those and I want to see her face when I come out with it in hand! 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? St. Francis of Assisi, he came from a life of privilege and chose a life of connectedness. I'd want to talk with him about that transition + experience. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Be present.  6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? Don't be so guarded around shaping your identity; you have no idea of what this future "you" will be doing in life... thinking you know is a recipe for challenge. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence.

Summary & Ideas for Action Erik Wahl is an internationally recognized artist, TED speaker, bestselling author, and a sought-after corporate speaker. Erik’s on-stage painting and performance seamlessly becomes a visual metaphor to the core of his message: Encouraging organizations toward profitability through innovation and superior levels of performance. He discusses with Jim and Jan the thought leadership that differentiates him from Powerpoint presenters and concludes with a vision for unity at work and in our communities.   Key Takeaways [4:11] The psychology of performance depends on attention. Erik’s audience has seen hundreds of presentations. To differentiate himself, Erik doesn’t simply present, he prepares a real-time improv experience with lights, cameras, audio, painting, technology, and other techniques to engage the audience. He gives the audience actionable takeaways using the tools of live theater. [5:25] Through unique channels Erik creates ‘aha’ moments and ‘wow’ experiences to show audiences how to implement leadership, teamwork, differentiation, innovation, and creativity a little differently.  [6:11] The ability to adapt is the most needed strength for leaders. No system will work in perpetuity. There will always need to be an adaptation as circumstances change. Change is constant. Expand consciousness. Think differently. Master complexity at a higher level. Step back and see the landscape from a bigger picture view. [8:03] Look at ways to elevate your value proposition and build authenticity into your relationships with employees and customers. Disrupt yourselves to differentiate from the competition. Erik’s core pillars fall under the umbrella of thinking differently, the psychology of performance, and the ability to adapt. [9:25] Erik discusses current thinking and ‘Thinking 2.0.’ Our trained thinking is pragmatic, logical, and practical. It represents standardization and Six Sigma. It is transactional rather than interactive. The problem is that we get stuck in systems that become out-of-date. To adapt to new circumstances we need think in new ways and find new rhythms. Understand the rules to reshape the rules. [14:02] Science has necessary but finite and limited functions. EQ, art, and intuition are all now more important than ever.  [16:53] School has standardized children’s thinking. It is important to learn to think but also to have a fluidity to come up with more than one right answer. The more operationally efficient we become, the more danger we have of losing potential and possibilities. We need an increased element of fluidity in our learning systems and business systems. [21:02] As leaders, the ability to read people is incredibly valuable. Because of the business costs of failed decisions, leaders are often more comfortable with tried and true formulas rather than adaptation. Leaders walk a balance between strength and authenticity; analytics and emotional intelligence. [23:44] Creativity requires rational systematic thought. Creatives need to learn more about the marketplace and how to add value to get market share. [25:31] As an athlete, Erik learned mental toughness was to endure pain and hardship. Now he believes the highest level of mental toughness is the ability to control emotion in the face of uncertainty, danger, and fear, to be unflinchingly calm in the face of the most challenging situations, and to know when to move quickly. [27:25] There is disruption, fear, anger, and social injustice in the world. We need to address these issues properly to unify. We need to know when to stand down. As a CEO, when you talk less and listen more, you demonstrate empathy and grace that is more helpful now than it was 30 years ago. Be tolerant of everyone’s input for a better unified tomorrow. The more unity, the more people will sacrifice for the good. [32:53] Combining multiple generations in the workplace involves meshing the ideals of meritocracy and hierarchy with authenticity and autonomy. CEOs need to know how the younger generation thinks, to get their attention and guide them in leadership strategies.   Quotable Quotes   “Create ‘wow’ experiences that show the message as much as tell it.”   The more operationally efficient we become, we risk losing potential and possibilities.   Understand the rules to reshape the rules.   A leader must balance between confidence and humility and between analytics and creativity.   Creativity without discipline is like a river without banks.   Diversity in the workplace involves meshing the ideals of meritocracy and hierarchy with authenticity and autonomy.     Website: TheArtOfVision.com/the-spark-and-the-grind Website: TheArtOfVision.com Twitter: @ErikWahl Facebook: Erik Wahl LinkedIn: Erik Wahl YouTube: Erik Wahl Vimeo: The Art of Vision   Bio Erik Wahl is an internationally recognized artist, TED speaker, and No. 1 bestselling author. His breakthrough experience as an artist and entrepreneur has translated into making him one of the most sought-after corporate speakers on the circuit today.   On stage, Erik’s keynote experience creates a dynamic multidimensional metaphor for how to systematically embrace innovation and risk. His message: disruption is the new normal and businesses must embrace creativity in a wholesale fashion or risk being left behind. Erik’s presentation inspires organizations to be increasingly agile and outlines how to use disruption as a competitive advantage. Some companies will be disrupted; others will choose to be the disruptor. Choose wisely.   His new book, The Spark and the Grind, activates the essential components of translating ideas into action. His breakthrough thinking has earned praise from the likes of top influencers in both art and business. Erik’s previous book, a bestseller called Unthink, was hailed by Forbes Magazine as the blueprint to actionable creativity, and by Fast Company Magazine as “provocative with a purpose.”   The Warhol of Wall Street, the Renoir of ROI, the Picasso of Productivity, the Jobs of ... well, Jobs. Erik discovered an alarming truth early in his career as a partner in a corporate firm — organizations that encouraged the mental discipline of creativity did better than those that did not put innovation as a priority mission. So he set out to challenge companies to change their way of thinking.   In the meantime, inspired by street art, he became an acclaimed graffiti artist — though he has since stopped selling his work for personal gain, and instead uses his art to raise money for charities. His keynote is where his passion for business growth and art converge into a fascinating performance.   Erik’s list of clients includes AT&T, Disney, London School of Business, Microsoft, FedEx, Exxon Mobil, Ernst & Young, and XPrize.   Books Mentioned on the Show The Experience Economy, by B.

My guest today is Erik Wahl, the author of “The Spark and The Grind,” “Unthink,” and “Unchain the Elephant.” Starting from an early age Erik was never encouraged in the arts but rather encouraged in his reading, writing and athletics. He believed that if he got straight A's he would be successful later on in life. Things generally worked out for him–until the Dot-com bubble hit. He was devastated and realized he needed to figure out a new way to live. The topics are his books The Spark and the Grind: Ignite the Power of Disciplined Creativity, Unthink: Rediscover Your Creative Genius and Unchain the Elephant: Reframe Your Thinking to Unleash Your Potential.

Erik Wahl is author of “The Spark and The Grind,” “Unthink,” and “Unchain the Elephant.” Starting from an early age Erik was never encouraged in the arts but rather encouraged in his reading, writing and athletics. He believed that if he got straight A’s he would be successful later on in life. Things generally worked out for him–until the Dot-com bubble hit. He was devastated and realized he needed to figure out a new way to live. Erik started meeting artists rather than business types. He came to find that mainstream society does not understand artists and because of this, many of these people would become, for lack of a better term, “tortured artists.” The love of art is what launched him into work as a professional artist. Art was not about producing a product but rather about a new way of thinking. He began processing information in a whole new way, not just linear. Everyone has creative ideas. What sets people apart is how they chose to leverage and use it. When Erik does any presentation he starts off creating a painting on stage to rock music in 3 minutes. He is disrupting thinking by showing the audience rather than telling them. Unless you know how to use agility and mental dexterity you will be left behind. Erik teaches how to tap into creativity and adapt to the increasing rate of change happening in the world.

Become comfortable with uncertainty. Discipline creates the opportunity for creative freedom. We are a species seeking balance. Creativity is the highest form of “mental toughness.” Discipline and talent are not enough to keep a business alive. “All education happens through suffering.” Trust the process!

“There's a necessary amount of suffering that needs to happen for new ideas or new work or change to happen. If I don't suffer, I won't know what joy or contentment is. If I flatline, then I won't be able to experience it as deeply. And the cracks are where the light shines through. The cracks, weaknesses, suffering and pain are what allow for new growth. Change is actually good. It doesn't feel good. But it actually leads us to new places…Every person of significance has experienced deep and painful setbacks or heartbreak or suffering to get to the next level to be able to get to the next space of awareness.” – Erik WahlErik Wahl is an internationally recognized graffiti artist, author of the book Unthink, and speaker who redefines the term “keynote speaker” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
