Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is one of just 13 Democrats to represent a district that Donald Trump won. Her distinctive economic message, and a willingness to buck her own party, helped her win re-election. But now the reality of the Trump era is coming home.Gluesenkamp Perez faced raucous crowds at town halls in Washington State recently, with some of her more liberal constituents furious that she isn't opposing the administration more forcefully. At the same time, the White House has started making economic arguments that sound very similar to ones that she's made – that we should consume less, produce more and import less stuff from abroad.So I wanted to talk to her about how she's navigating this moment. What does she think of Trump's economic agenda? What reactions is she seeing across her district? How does a Democrat now represent both terrified liberals and loyal Trump voters?This episode contains strong language.Book Recommendations:The Wheelwright's Shop by George SturtExperiences in Visual Thinking by Robert H.

SHOW ME HOW YOU DO IT is the new LDA VLOG and podcast brought to you by our friend, Sofie Willox. In each episode Sofie will interview an expert. These experts come from various domains within and surrounding L&D. Sofie interviews them on video. The videos will reside within the LDA community, but we wanted to nonetheless still share them and decided to post them here in the podcast feed. We hope you enjoy! This first interview is with another LDA friend, Charles-Louis de Maere.  The following are his own words about his work. "Bringing people together is something that lives on through my workshops and training. Whether they take place online or on-premise, I facilitate workshops and learning experiences that focus on high participation, on learning by doing and verifying that the concepts are integrated. I use Live Online Learning Activities to ensure people get a chance to practice their understanding of the new concepts.   "What better way is there to give meaning to what we say than to draw to make our thoughts explicit? When we add visual information to what we're saying, suddenly our intention becomes much more precise, and we can begin to work on shared understanding. This is why I love bringing people in contact with the power of Visual Thinking, of getting back to our roots and using pen and paper to bring people closer together." The best place to find Charles-Louis is LinkedIn. He is prolific there and always finding ways to add value. https://www.linkedin.com/in/charleslouisdemaere/

In this episode of Aphantasia Experiments, host Robin takes us on a heartfelt journey through creativity, marketing, and the hidden strengths of living with aphantasia. Although aphantasia means the inability to form mental images, Robin shares how this unique brain wiring has not limited her creativity — it's actually enhanced it. From a career in graphic design and publishing to digital marketing and innovation, she reflects on how storing real-world inspiration and deeply noticing colors, patterns, and ideas has shaped her work in profound ways.Robin also highlights the transformative role Canva plays in her creative process today, especially with powerful new tools like Canva Code and Canva Sheets. For anyone balancing an overflowing river of ideas (hello, ADHD and high-creativity minds!), these features make it easier than ever to bring concepts to life without needing a fully visual imagination.Throughout the conversation, Robin opens up about how working with AI tools like Canva and ChatGPT isn't about replacing creativity — it's about unlocking it, especially for those whose brains work differently. She talks about the emotional side of creativity, the importance of being kind (even to AI!), and how technology can empower individuals who might otherwise feel overlooked by traditional creative paths.Whether you live with aphantasia, ADHD, are bursting with untapped ideas, or are simply curious about new ways to innovate in marketing and design, this episode offers encouragement, inspiration, and actionable insight. Creativity doesn't require a mind's eye — it just requires heart, observation, and the right tools.If you've ever felt like your brain works a little differently — and you wondered if that was a weakness — this episode is your reminder that it might actually be your greatest creative strength.

Send us a textJohn Barnhardt, writer/director/producer of OPEN DOOR, the documentary film about Temple Grandin, shares his insights, revelations and experiences as both filmmaker and teacher  in the making of the film. A film festival hit, AN OPEN DOOR is an iconic, inside peek at the mind of Colorado State University professor Temple Grandin, well-known for her exemplary work in understanding how cattle and horses see, hear and feel and influencing livestock industry practices. Her ground-breaking work has heavily influenced the humane treatment of cattle and horses and is considered a hallmark in animal welfare care. Temple, who is autistic, has done extensive efforts both through her voice and work in pushing the envelope of understanding  and acceptance for neuro-divergent people everywhere. John, with the devoted support of executive producer John Festervand, created a film that not only captures the essence of one of the most powerful voices of our time for animal welfare and autism, but is an emotionally inspiring experience to do our very best in all walks of life. The film is touching, real and a beautiful example of one person's willingness to be vulnerable and authentic in the face of a world which once institutionalized the autistic. John, a teacher at CSU, a working cinematographer and founder of Barnfly Productions (https://www.barnflyproductions.com)  shares the credit for the film's success with  his CSU student crew. Their professionalism matches that of other professionals with multiple years of experience, says John. In this insightful interview about a heavily-touted documentary, John shares his own learning experiences with Temple during production. Her 17th book, Visual Thinking - the Hidden Gifts of People Who Think In Pictures, Patterns and Abstractions, is featured throughout the film. This book and Temple's nudges encouraged John to look at his own perceptions about math and education differently. Temple's life was portrayed in the 2010 movie. She was played by Clare Danes. John re-introduces Temple to the world in An Open Door and her vast wealth knowledge at age 78. A clip is featured in this interview.

In this episode, we discuss the intricate relationship between Autism and speech & language, emphasizing the critical role of neuroscience in understanding these dynamics. The discussion begins by highlighting how speech and language are foundational to human evolution and social interaction, yet pose unique challenges for individuals with Autism. The episode explores the brain's key regions involved in these processes, such as Broca's area, responsible for speech production, and Wernicke's area, crucial for language comprehension. These regions are connected by the arcuate fasciculus, a white matter tract essential for language processing, repetition, and verbal working memory.The podcast also examines how the basal ganglia, particularly the dorsal striatum, contributes to speech fluency and motor sequencing, including the articulation of words. By integrating neuroscience, we gain insight into the biological underpinnings of communication difficulties in Autism, such as delays in language processing and the phenomenon of "choppy" speech, which are linked to less coherent organization within these neural pathways.The episode further unpacks the concept of neuroplasticity and its implications for Autism, emphasizing the brain's ability to adapt through practice and repetition, leading to habits. The discussion also touches on the role of the dorsal medial striatum in goal-directed learning and the dorsal lateral striatum in habit formation, illustrating how these areas influence speech and language acquisition. Additionally, the podcast explores the phenomenon of echolalia, often observed in Autistic individuals, as a potential mechanism for processing delays or as a result of cyclical loops in the basal ganglia.The interplay of neurotransmitters like GABA and glutamate is highlighted, explaining the excitation-inhibition imbalance often seen in Autism, which affects sensory processing and communication. By framing these challenges through the lens of neuroscience, the episode underscores the complexity of social interaction for Autistic individuals and the importance of understanding the brain's predictive and adaptive mechanisms to better support their needs.00:00 - Introduction to Autism and Speech02:02 - The Speaker-Receiver Dynamic in Autism04:02 - Visual Thinking and Processing in Autism06:18 - Neuroscience of Speech and Language08:20 - The Role of the Basal Ganglia in Speech10:39 - Echolalia and Sensory Processing Delays16:53 - Neuroplasticity and Speech Therapy17:22 - Reflexes, Inhibition, and GABA in Speech and Autism20:02 - Basal Ganglia Circuits, Motivation, and Echolalia from getting "stuck"24:03 - Language Acquisition and Rule-Setting in Autism27:47 - Energy, Learning, and Social Challenges30:15 - Contingency-Based Learning and Outcomes31:46 - Reviews/Ratings and Contact infoX: https://x.com/rps47586Hopp: https://www.hopp.bio/fromthespectrumYT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans Grandpa Bill brings memory palaces and mnemonics to life on his YouTube channel! Visual learners, rejoice! We use diagrams, animations, and real-world examples to demonstrate how these powerful techniques work. Learn how to create your own memory palaces, memorize anything with ease, and boost your cognitive abilities. Grandpa Bill Asks: 1: What's your preferred way to learn – visual, auditory, or kinesthetic? 2: What's the one subject or skill you'd love to master with a supercharged memory? Let's break down how to create and record the "J" memory palace for Janissary, focusing on the practical aspects of drawing it out. The "J" Memory Palace: Javelin & Hagia Sophia The Location: Hagia Sophia, Istanbul. This is your mental "room" or location within your larger "Janissary" palace. The Object: A giant, gleaming javelin. It's not just any javelin; it's oversized, perhaps made of gold, and emits a shimmering light. The Action: The javelin is piercing the Hagia Sophia's dome. This is the dynamic element that makes the image memorable. The dome is cracking, perhaps bits of tile are falling. Drawing it Out (Memory Journal/Index Card):GB explains within this video 1: Detailed Sketch (Memory Journal):GB explains in the video On a page in your/my journal, lightly sketch the Hagia Sophia's exterior, focusing on the dome. Draw the giant javelin piercing the dome. Exaggerate the size and make it shine (use colored pencils if you like). Add details: Cracks in the dome, falling debris. Label: "J - Javelin & Hagia Sophia" 2: Simplified Sketch (Index Card):GB explains On you/my index card, draw a simplified version of the Hagia Sophia dome. Draw a large, stylized "J" that transforms into the javelin. The point of the "J" could be piercing the dome. Add a few quick lines to indicate the cracks. Label: "J - Javelin (Hagia Sophia)" 3: Symbolic Drawing (Index Card): Draw a large "J." Inside the curve of the "J," draw a small, symbolic representation of the Hagia Sophia (maybe just a dome shape). Draw a line extending from the "J" as the javelin piercing the dome. Label: "J - Javelin" Key Highlights of Drawing: Keep it Simple: You don't need to be an artist. Stick figures and basic shapes are fine. The goal is to create a visual trigger for your memory, not a masterpiece. Exaggerate: Make the key elements (the javelin) larger than life. This makes them more memorable. Add Color: Color helps make the image more vivid. Personal Touches: If you have a personal connection to javelins or the Hagia Sophia, incorporate that into your drawing. Consistency: Use the same style of drawing for all your memory palaces. This will help you quickly access them later. Review: After drawing, review the image a few times to solidify it in your memory. Try to recall the image without looking at your drawing.

“Lots of ambitious books announce themselves,” writes Lauren Christensen in The New York Times Book Review of podcast guest Betsy Lerner's debut novel Shred Sisters. “This one doesn't need to.” High praise for a first-time novelist, but that's not surprising considering Betsy's long and distinguished career as an editor and literary agent. A born storyteller (and, story-sharer), Betsy has helped to shape our literary landscape, as the guiding hand behind such cultural touchstones as Patti Smith's Just Kids and Elizabeth Wurtzel's Prozac Nation.  She's also earned her As Told To stripes as the co-author of The New York Times best-selling Visual Thinking, written in collaboration with Temple Grandin, in addition to writing several non-fiction books of her own, including the memoir The Bridge Ladies, and the writing guidebook The Forest for the Trees.   A recovering poet, Betsy received an MFA in poetry from Columbia University, where she was selected as one of PEN's Emerging Writers, before trading her pen for a red pencil and embarking on a heralded career as an editor.  With the publication of her first novel, longlisted prior to publication for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, Betsy kick-starts an exciting new chapter in her writing life, offering a rich, bittersweet tale of sisterhood, mental health, love and loss, and reminding us that it's never too late to become the artist you were always meant to be.   Learn more about Betsy Lerner: Website TikTok Facebook Twitter Please support the sponsors who support our show: Gotham Ghostwriters/ASJA “Andy Awards” Guidelines Ritani Jewelers Chelsea Devantez's I Shouldn't Be Telling You This Daniel Paisner's Balloon Dog  Daniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television Pilot Unforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey Jacobellis Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Libro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membership Film Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton Everyday Shakespeare podcast A Mighty Blaze podcast The Writer's Bone Podcast Network Misfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order  Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Wizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount

This we are playing one of our favorite episodes, our interview with Dr. Temple Grandin. We discussed sensory input, the frustration around communication, giving limited choices, transitions to adulthood, and how when you are looking for nothing, you might see everything.  Dr. Temple Grandin is a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University.  Facilities she has designed for handling livestock are used by many companies around the world.  She has also been instrumental in implementing animal welfare auditing programs used by Mcdonalds', Wendy's, Whole Foods, and other corporations. Temple has appeared on numerous TV shows, such as 20/20 and Prime Time.  Her books include Thinking in Pictures, Livestock Handling and Transport, and The Autistic Brain. Her books Animals in Translation and Visual Thinking have been on the New York Times Bestseller List. Temple was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in September 2017 and, in 2022, was named a Colorado State University Distinguished Professor. "Single most important picture that the Hubble took, and I learned about the story behind, and I wrote about the story behind that and wrote about it in my Visual Thinking Book. The scientist who did that wanted to take 10 days of precious observing time and point the Hubble at nothing, at nothing, and reviewers went you can't waste time doing that. When he pointed it nothing, he saw everything."

In this episode of Work Matters, Thomas Bertels welcomes Todd Cherches to discuss Visual Leadership. Todd is the CEO of BigBlueGumball, a leadership development and executive coaching firm. He is also an award-winning professor and lecturer at NYU and Columbia University and the author of "VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life."He defines visual leadership as applying visual thinking and visual communication to the practice of leadership. By painting a picture, leaders help people see what they're saying and create mental movies to increase understanding throughout the world of work.Todd unpacks tools from his book, “VisuaLeadership,” and stresses the importance of getting the best out of people, not the most. In doing so, leaders build engagement, passion, and purpose which contribute to higher intrinsic motivation and performance. He breaks his tools into four categories which include:visual imagery – explaining though pictures, props, drawings, or anything you could take in through the eyemental models and frameworks - simplifying and compartmentalizing the complexmetaphors and analogies – using the familiar to make the invisible visiblestorytelling with a bonus for humor - good for lightening the mood, boosting engagement, and reducing stressFrom there, Todd describes his Passion and Skills Matrix which demonstrates how leaders can help employees find their “sweet spot” where both are high for maximum engagement and performance, and unpacks his R&R tool - providing teams with the resources they need and removing roadblocks.Drawing on his own experience with a horrible boss, Todd reveals the secret for how to become more effective at giving feedback: clarity, empathy, listening, passion, and purpose. He describes why providing employees with autonomy is critical to increasing engagement and fostering innovation while stressing the importance of hiring self-disciplined employees.Todd concludes by noting how essential visibility, voice, and value are to make employees feel seen, heard, and connected.

On this episode of the Cohere podcast, co-hosts Bill Johnston and Dr. Lauren Vargas interview Dave Gray, Chief Possibilitarian at School of the Possible. They delve into being a "possibilitarian," exploring how this mindset fosters innovation and openness to new ideas. Dave shares the  School of the Possible founding story, an experimental learning community that challenges conventional education models. The discussion covers how critical thinking and creativity are encouraged and the practical application of knowledge to solve real-world problems. Listeners will discover how embracing possibility can transform learning and personal growth. "Art school is very different than a lot of other types of education. It's focused on making and creating and doing things with your hands and making things happen in the real world. So, in one sense, there was a whole approach to learning that I picked up in art school. And also, when you graduate from art school, it's not like there's a lot of people waiting with jobs for you. You have to apply those creative thinking skills to designing your life, thinking about What is it that you want to create in the world? How are you going to make your way in the world? And it's really interesting to watch all of my peers and colleagues, all trained in creativity, all figuring it out in different ways. It all stems from this idea of "what are you going to create and what are you going to make?" In a lot of types of education, you can just solve the problem in a way that everyone before you solved the problem.  When you're in an art school, you're not allowed to solve problems in the way they've been solved before. You're required to think about a different way or a new way."  Mentioned in this episode: Links to relevant materials mentioned during the episode   About our guest(s):  Chief Possibilitarian at School of the Possible Author, and LinkedIn:   Call-to-Action(s): If you liked this episode, check out: and Subscribe to the Cohere Podcast For more reflections about the intersection of community and design, subscribe to the Cohere Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.

Temple Grandin, Ph.D., talks about her journey growing up with autism in an era when children were routinely institutionalized following a diagnosis — and what helped her to follow her passions to world renown.

Best-selling author, scientist, and trailblazer in autism research, Dr. Temple Grandin's new book “Visual Thinking” draws on cutting-edge research and her own lived experience to reframe the conversation on neurodiversity and different types of thinkers.

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Dr Jordan B Peterson and Temple Grandin discuss the pros and cons of visual and verbal thinking, as well as categorization, animal welfare, targeted activism, and the importance of hands-on learning opportunities. Temple Grandin is a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. Facilities she has designed for handling livestock are used by companies all around the world. Her work has also been instrumental in implementing animal welfare auditing programs, now used by McDonalds, Wendy's, Whole Foods, and many other major corporations. Temple has appeared on numerous shows across platforms, such as 20/20, Larry King Live, and Prime Time. Grandin is an accomplished author, with books such as Thinking in Pictures, Livestock Handling and Transport, and The Autistic Brain. A few of her other publications, Animals in Translation, as well as Visual Thinking, have even made it to the New York Times Bestseller List. In 2017, Grandin was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame, and in 2022 she was honored once again as a Colorado State Distinguished Professor.  - Sponsors - Black Rifle Coffee: Get 10% off your first order or Coffee Club subscription with code JORDAN: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ Exodus90: Is it time for your Exodus?
