This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Pierre Menard, Author Of The Quixote" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses specifically on the first portion of the story, where the author discusses Pierre Menard's visible work, of which he provides a definitive and chonological listing, supplemented by "a few vague sonnets", and certain portions of Don Quixote. In this video, we look at some of the common themes, features, and preoccupations of Menard's writing.

Hey mamas, Today we're talking about a challenge so many remote-working moms face: How do you stay visible at work when you're not in the office? Because let's be real…there's that little voice that whispers, “What if they think I'm not working? Or What if they forget about me?” And in a world where your status turns yellow the second you step away, it's easy to feel like you have to stay chained to your desk all day just to prove your worth. Spoiler alert: That's not sustainable… and it's not the only way to get noticed. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✨How to align with your manager's style so they trust your work ✨Strategic ways to over-communicate without adding noise ✨Why using your voice and face matters more than you think ✨The power of keeping a “done” list for reviews and recognition ✨How micro-connections build trust and opportunities ✨Staying active in team spaces without becoming “always on” ✨Smart ways to take initiative without burning out ✨How lifting others up increases your own visibility ✨Speaking up in meetings (even if you're not sure what to say) ✨Building relationships outside your department for career growth If you're ready to stop worrying about that “away” dot and start being recognized for the value you bring, this episode is your game plan.
One of the most common questions I get from recruiting leaders in growth mode is this: Should I open up a new market with one great LO, or should I wait and launch with a full team? In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk you through the risks, rewards, and right strategy behind both approaches. Whether you're eyeing a “C” market with one strong originator or you're trying to make a splash with a team hire, what matters most is having a blueprint that aligns with your long-term vision. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why this decision is more about vision and systems than market size or opportunity. [01:00] Option 1: Solo Originator – Lower cost and easier execution, but high risk without structure or support. [02:00] Pros of the Solo Model Lower upfront investment Easier to recruit and onboard Culture-first approach through one key player [03:00] Risks of the Solo Model Fragile and dependent on one person Isolation often leads to disengagement No built-in scale unless they have recruiting DNA [05:00] Rules for Solo Market Success Only place culture-aligned people Have a 12-month scale plan Over-communicate with rhythm and presence [06:00] Option 2: Team or Team Leader – A bigger play with more complexity, but greater scalability. [07:00] Pros of the Team Model More stable and resilient Built-in leadership support Visible momentum attracts more talent [08:00] Risks of the Team Model Higher complexity and cost Requires more leadership bandwidth Can expose weaknesses in your internal systems [09:00] The Real Question – Not solo vs team, but: What's your actual growth playbook? [10:00] Filters for Decision-Making Long-term vision for that market Your current leadership bandwidth Recruit's alignment and leadership potential Systems to support new locations Cost of misalignment or failure [11:00] Final Challenge – Audit your market expansion strategy before you make another move. Ask if you're building with clarity, or just reacting to opportunity. Key Takeaways You Don't Need to Guess – Use vision, systems, and capacity filters to guide market expansion. Solo Markets Work With Structure – Only pursue them if you have the rhythm and blueprint to support them well. Teams Bring Leverage – But only if you're prepared to serve them with leadership and ops. Growth Without Alignment Is a Trap – Know who you're building with and why it matters. Blueprints Create Scale – When you stop reacting and start building a repeatable system, growth gets easier and more sustainable. Stop hoping for expansion to work. Start building a plan that makes it inevitable. Want help refining your growth blueprint? Subscribe to my weekly email at 4crecruiting.com or book a strategy session at bookrichardnow.com. Let's turn your next market into a scalable win.

Send us a textPriorities only matter if people can see and understand them. In this episode of The Workplace Chameleon, Dr. Celina Peerman explores how priorities that feel crystal clear to a leader can remain completely invisible to everyone else — and why that invisibility comes at such a high cost. She explains the common ways priorities fade into the background, from assumptions that “everyone already knows” to noise from urgent tasks and shifting focus when leaders themselves drift. Through stories and reflections, Dr. Celina highlights the real consequences of hidden priorities, including misaligned work, scattered energy, missed deadlines, frustration, and even erosion of trust. You'll learn practical ways to make priorities visible — by saying them out loud, writing them down, repeating them often, and connecting them to the “why” behind the work — as well as how leaders must model alignment with their own calendars and actions if they want their teams to believe it. This week's challenge: take one priority that's been living in your head, share it out loud, and make it visible enough that your team can see, repeat, and act on it. Because priorities only do their job when they're clear to everyone, not just you.For more leadership tools and resources, visit www.drcelinapeerman.com.

Sometimes through the dust and smoke, we trace the features of a friend—someone whose rich, remembered kindness soothes the soul and calms the turbulence. We hold on to such people for good reason: they have held us—gripped us, even—when the world seemed topsy-turvy and every voice was loud. They were—they are—God's grace in human form, a bit of heaven lingering to give us hope and get us through. In some faint way, they call to mind the one Who came to live among us and be one with us: “And the Word became flesh and lived among us. . . . full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Friends hold us for a minute, or perhaps an hour: He holds us for eternity, and promises to never willingly let go. “Be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt 28:20). Knowing how we doubt His love, Jesus repeatedly reminds us, “Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me” (Jn 15:15). Grace visits us through selfless souls, and heals us through their acts of kindness. The God who motivates such generosity is no further from you than a friend who shares dark roads and waits with you for dawn's first light. So when you pray, thank God for friends who live His grace. And stay in it. -Bill Knott

In this episode of the Equipping ELLs Podcast, host Beth Vaucher is joined by renowned educator and language planning expert Kelly Reider for a deep dive into the world of functional language planning—a critical but often misunderstood approach to supporting multilingual learners in today's classrooms.With over 30 years of experience in education, Kelly shares how her journey from classroom teacher to district coordinator and national facilitator helped her shape a better way of aligning language development with content instruction. Together, Beth and Kelly explore the challenges educators face when planning for diverse learners, especially when co-teaching or pushing into content-area classrooms with limited prep time.Kelly breaks down the five core principles of functional language planning, rooted in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), offering a practical, research-based alternative to traditional grammar-focused approaches. She emphasizes a context-driven, flexible planning model that helps teachers support student communication and academic achievement, regardless of curriculum changes or language levels.Listeners will learn how functional language planning:Prioritizes real-time, context-based language needsShifts from "what to teach" to "what students need to do with language"Incorporates grammar as a tool for meaning-making, not an isolated objectiveEmpowers teachers to model, scaffold, and practice target language structures with studentsSimplifies planning through backwards design and alignment toolsBeth and Kelly also discuss the importance of student talk time, explicit modeling, and peer-to-peer interaction as foundational strategies that help students internalize and apply academic language in meaningful ways.This episode isn't just theory—it's full of actionable insights. Whether you're a general education teacher, ESL specialist, or instructional coach, you'll walk away with a renewed sense of what's possible when we make language visible, intentional, and functional for multilingual learners.
Pourquoi, en 2025, avons-nous encore peur d'être vues ?Pourquoi tant de femmes talentueuses, compétentes, brillantes… se retiennent encore de prendre leur place, de parler fort, d'assumer leur succès ?Dans cet épisode, on plonge dans le syndrome de la sorcière brûlée – cette mémoire collective et inconsciente qui nous fait associer visibilité à danger.C'est la peur d'être jugée, rejetée, critiquée. La peur d'en faire “trop”. La peur de déranger.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
Today, I'm talking about something that no one wants to think about—but everyone needs to hear. Because what you don't know CAN hurt you. And in 2025, addiction doesn't look like what it used to.

In this episode of Tea with D, I unpack the backlash I received from participating in a lighthearted TikTok trend — and how it quickly spiraled into a wave of men attacking my appearance. I was called fake, rated with numbers, asked “how much,” and even told that “time is ticking.” All because I had the nerve to look confident.But this goes deeper than one video. Since I was a little girl, I never felt seen. I was the “ugly duckling” — overlooked and underestimated. Then in high school, I blossomed… and suddenly people did notice me — but with judgment. I was "slut-shamed". I was made fun of for putting effort into my appearance. I could never win.For a long time, I lost my sparkle. But today, I feel like I'm finally stepping into who I was always meant to be — confident, joyful, and free. And yet, here we are again: people trying to tear me down for it.This episode isn't just about me. It's for every woman who's ever been told to be confident, but not too confident. Pretty, but not too pretty. Visible, but not too loud. Let's talk about it.

What actually keeps weight loss on track? Spoiler: it's not a meal plan, a fitness app, or a smoothie in a mason jar. This episode cuts through recycled advice and spotlights the one thing that makes change stick: your reason. Ditch the borrowed goals and find the motivation that survives real life, cravings, and every Monday morning.Important Points CoveredYour reason for change matters more than any diet or workout.Borrowed motivation—doctor's orders, family nudges, or influencer trends—fades quickly.The strongest “why” comes from within and connects to your real life, not someone else's expectations.Five motivators actually move you: health, mobility, mental wellbeing, relationships, and self-mastery.When your motivation wobbles, check in, recalibrate, and let your reason grow with you.Visible, honest reminders of your “why” help you stick with healthy habits when life gets messy.Resources MentionedDeci, E.L., & Ryan, R.M.

The Delta Aquariids Meteor Shower is set to peak over Aotearoa on Wednesday night. Stardome Observatory and Planetarium astronomer Josh Aoraki spoke to Corin Dann.
You Guys! I was so excited to answer these questions. I love my hobbies so much!! Right now, travel is a hobby I want to focus on. Greg asked me why I am taking these adult fieldtrips alone? It feeds me. I encourage my family to follow their interests and develop their skills within their hobbies. I am starting to pour into myself like I always have for my family members and I think everyone should do the same, especially the household manager. Scrapbooking & Photos Disclaimer: I am a hands on scrapbooker. If you are looking for digital suggestions, I am not your guru. Creative Memories was one of the first direct sales companies I worked for. Anna and I discovered that her mom, Donna, was THE creator of the power layouts for scrapbooking specific to Creative Memories. I taught this system to all my customers and little Anna was the one counting all the chipboards that were going into the boxes that I had ordered!! There were questions about sorting, storage, getting started, and product recommendations. I learned a lot about storage of photos, how the containers matter, and the books you place those precious pictures in matter too. I stand by Creative Memories to this day because of their quality and I am actually still a consultant with them! The first thing you need to identify is why you want to scrapbook and then you can make an action plan from there. One lady said there were pictures everywhere and how was she going to get them organized quickly because she needed her guest room to be functional soon. I recommend a bulk sort at this stage. Start sorting by decade and go from there because it will take awhile to get all those pictures in albums anyway! There is a whole section on photo organization in the Saving Your Story Photo Organization Program. Make sure you are journaling to capture why those pictures are important. And then I suggested a few ways you could document pictures quicker and have completed albums. Books, Audio, and Journaling I don't journal too much but what I may consider journaling is summer time when I think about future ideas. And this is where Embrace came from. I think about the future and who I currently am and where I am going in my personal life and professionally. I've shared that there was that time when I decided “If it was to be it was up to me.” And that was the catalyst for being mindful of my attitude and what I consume. I make sure to always be consuming content about influential people, presidents, inventors, and the like; this helps me to stay future oriented. Anna also pointed out how one of Organize 365®'s core values is the Power of Positivity. It's a focus for me and my business. I am a life long learner and I love my books. I am such a compulsive book buyer that even when I couldn't really afford books I would buy them anyway I just can't help myself. I let Marie Kondo talk me into tossing out a bunch of books and boy do I regret getting rid of those books. I've realized I am not a minimalist and I love revisiting my books. The best way for me to suggest some great reads is through the podcast. I spent a whole year recommending books. And I guess those are my top 52 recommendations. Take the time to live in your hobbies and fill your hobby cup as you fill everyone else's.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports President Donald Trump arrives in Scotland Friday evening to a mix of respect and ridicule.
Seguramente cuando eras pequeño, tus padres te dijeron que antes de cruzar la calle es importante mirar a la izquierda y a la derecha. Mirar, es una acción muy común y familiar para muchos de nosotros. Pero no para todas las personas. Hay quienes desde su nacimiento no han podido ver. Es el caso de Erik Caicedo, quien, a pesar de encarar varios retos, también nos ofrece lecciones que tú y yo debemos aprender.

In this special and timely episode, Brian Thompson calls on fellow mission-driven business owners to embrace their identities and own their values. Highlighting real messages from clients, Brian explores the challenges and uncertainties facing entrepreneurs, especially those from LGBTQ+ backgrounds and other marginalized groups. He challenges the myth that being neutral is the safest option in the current political environment and shares practical steps to get clear and bold about who you are and what you bring to the table. Episode Highlights Your identity is an asset -- not a liability. Mission-driven businesses are facing very real and sometimes existential threats: the sudden loss of federal funding, the risk of becoming political targets, and being asked to remove terms like LGBTQ and racial equity from mission statements. When under pressure, it may feel like the safest option is to remain neutral, but neutrality actually erodes trust. “When someone sees themselves in your language, branding, or leadership, it builds a bridge faster than any marketing funnel ever could.” Your core community should never have to wonder where you stand. In a time of rising government hostility toward civil rights protections, customers, donors, and employees are noticing which companies are scaling back their offerings and which CEOs are saying less, not more. When companies backpedal from their commitment to equity and inclusion, they often lose the very people they claim to support. “When we talk about staying visible, it's not about being provocative -- it's about staying anchored. It's about making sure your core community never has to wonder where you stand.” 4 strategies to stay true and stay standing To navigate this moment with courage and conviction, consider these four steps to practically and proactively affirm your values without jeopardizing your sustainability: Conduct a visibility audit: Review every touchpoint of your business and ask whether you have gone quiet out of fear and if your language needs to be updated for clarity or protection. Update compliance protocols: Work with legal counsel to audit your DEI and HR policies, review whistleblower protocols, and ensure you're accurately documenting civil rights compliance. Strengthen your financial resilience: Prepare for the next financial crisis now by revisiting your income allocations, building an emergency reserve, and mapping out income diversification. Communicate your values internally and externally: Create talking points that affirm your mission and explain any language shifts to reassure your community you still serve their needs. Write your mission-rooted business affirmation. When fear is loud, clarity must be louder. Open your notes app or a journal, write down the following sentence, and fill in the blanks with your truth. I started this business to serve __________. I believe in __________. Even in this moment, I choose to stay rooted in values by __________. I will lead with clarity and courage. You don't have to disappear to survive. It's exhausting to defend your humanity while running payroll, applying for grants, and trying to build a thriving business. But this moment isn't just about defense, it's about creating a legacy. “Let your business be one of the lights that didn't go out. Let your clarity be the thing that gives someone else permission to speak up. Let your strategy be what helps you survive and thrive without compromise.” Resources + Links Brian Thompson Financial: Website, Newsletter, Podcast Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

I've answered questions about the invisible work we are all doing and today I am answering questions about the visible work we do. A good example of visible work is everything you would do inside of The Productive Home Solution™. I explained the evolution of the program from it's inception as 40 weeks One Home to the “exhausting” 100 day program where I realized not everyone has kids, to today The Productive Home Solution™. I have been refining this program for 10 years to help anyone be able to organize any home. It's a 52 week cycle of organizing spaces that matches the energy of the year. Yes, the energy changes throughout the year. Remodeling Elizabeth is getting ready to remodel her kitchen and wanted to know the best way to leverage The Productive Home Solution™. I answered saying as items are boxed up, label where those items will go once the remodel is done. One box per cabinet. I also found it useful to set up card tables with laundry baskets as cabinets during the remodel. Pro tip: ask for extra shelves for your cabinets! Another person asked for an alternative to the shoe organizers during the remodeling because her husband doesn't like the look. “The organizers stay!” The alternative is more expensive and cumbersome. Plus, if it was all tucked away her family would constantly be asking where things were because it's all out of place to begin with. You can see through the organizers and it's for a short amount of time. “The organizers stay!” Email! You guys, we are all in trouble with AI. It is making email more and more difficult to maintain. In The Productive Home Solution™ there are TEN lessons on email alone! If you are “email upside down”, archive all you have now and slowly go through them. It once took me 8 weeks to go through a client's email inbox! A few additional quick tips that I was able to offer was use your email like a Sunday Basket®, delay replying, delete spam, print actionable emails or emails you have replied to, and hire an executive assistant if you can. At some point, you may even think about a Chief of Staff to help. We are doing all of this invisible/ visible work for our families on top of our paid work. Email is the easiest to step out of. But only you can comfort your child in the middle of the night. What can you outsource? What Can You Outsource As women we are wearing the hats of wife, mom, home school teacher (in this case from the question), and household manager. She wanted to know if she should focus on The Productive Home Solution™ or the Teacher Friday Workbox™ because she homeschools. There is a great compromise to be made here. Do both. Do the teacher planning and incorporate an hour of home school to The Productive Home Solution™ and while you are at that they could be working on some of the Kids Program. Also, to lighten the load get a housekeeper. Again, where are you needed and what can you outsource? A housekeeper was suggested for another person asking about how to best prepare for going back to school for her CPA exam. I replied to delegate and elevate your family members. She had a college aged child that could help with housekeeping or hire it out. Also stock up on everything you can before classes start. Take care of things like dr. appointments and upcoming maintenance on cars or anything else. Those are things you can do early because school has hard deadlines that aren't flexible! Lower your standards of clean and communicate with your family about what to expect and things you will need help with because you no longer will have the bandwidth to do them. You guys submitted such great questions. Catch the full episode to hear the more questions and solutions I provided.
