This week Jeff and Dave continue their look at Carl Richard's 2009 masterpiece on Classics in America. As Richard surveys the antebellum landscape, there are some surprises in store. For example, devotion to the Classics, to the expanding literary reign of 'Tully' was not limited to the eastern elite along the seaboard. Even in the hinterlands, rustic frontier types were clutching copies of Cicero's Catilinarians. And, with the war for Greek independence raging abroad, Lord Byron and others fostered a wave of Hellenism that swept through American schools. No longer did the Romans dominate. Now, Aeschylus, Euripides, Xenophon, and a host of others--both in the original and in translation--rode a wave of new found popularity. Perhaps most surprisingly, the President of Yale Jeremiah Day briefly considered appointing a Prof. of Whittling. So grab your penknife, your whittlin' gloves, a jug of Mountain Dew, and tune in!

Whittling down again, Lord, I feel like that's all I do at times because I keep adding things onto my to do list and then I look at them and I go oh no oh no this is way too much well after 10 hour flight. I did plenty of whittling down and I explain what I did.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin Smulison interviews three of his favorite people, Lorie Graham, Trisha Sqrow, and Dr. Lianne Appelt, who are the three authors of the new RIMS Executive Report, Developing and Refining Risk Appetite and Tolerance. They discuss how the executive report was conceived and written, and what the challenges were in writing it. The report contains insight and direction on the need for a clear and accessible risk appetite statement and risk tolerance in any organization using ERM. They speak of challenges risk professionals face in setting a risk appetite statement, and why risk appetite is essential for organizations today, Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast. [:15] About this episode of RIMScast, coming to you from RIMS Headquarters in New York. We will be joined by past and present members of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council to discuss their new RIMS Executive Report, Developing and Refining Risk Appetite and Tolerance. [:47] First, let's talk about RIMS Virtual Workshops. The full calendar of virtual workshops is at RIMS.org/VirtualWorkshops. On June 11th and 12th, we've got Applying and Integrating ERM. Also on June 11th and 12th, we have Fundamentals of Insurance. On June 18th and 19th, we have Fundamentals of Risk Management. [1:09] On July 9th and 10th, we have Managing Workers' Compensation. On July 23rd and 24th, we have Claims Management. Other dates for Fall and Winter are on the Virtual Workshops full calendar at RIMS.org/VirtualWorkshops. [1:27] Let me tell you about the new dedicated RIMScast episode that just went live, sponsored by Otoos, “Accident Prevention — The Winning Formula For Construction and Insurance”. I interviewed Dana Kfir, the Director of Customer Success at Otoos about how technology can improve safety on construction sites and how companies can use incentives to drive change. [1:57] The link to this dedicated episode is in this episode's show notes. It is complimentary for RIMS members and nonmembers. Go check it out! If you are interested in producing a similar special episode of RIMScast that features your organization and is tailored to meet the needs of your audience, reach out to us at Content@RIMS.org or Sales@RIMS.org. [2:23] The RIMS Canada Conference 2024 will be held in Vancouver from October 6th through October 9th. The deadline for session submissions has been extended through May 30th! Visit RIMSCanadaConference.ca or the link in this episode's show notes to learn more about how you can submit your educational session for consideration at RIMS Canada Conference 2024. [2:54] As mentioned, RIMS has a new Executive Report called Developing and Refining Risk Appetite and Tolerance. It is available through the link in this episode's show notes and through the Risk Knowledge page at RIMS.org. The report was jointly authored by three of my favorite people, Lorie Graham, Trisha Sqrow, and Dr. Lianne Appelt. [3:19] All have been featured in the ERM Q&A Series. Trisha and Lorie have both been featured here on RIMScast, and Lianne is making her debut. We're going to talk all about this wonderful new Executive Report that was just released. We'll see where we can extend the dialog beyond the report. [3:43] Lorie Graham, Trisha Sqrow, and Dr. Lianne Appelt, welcome to RIMScast! [3:53] I am joined by three of my favorite RIMS members. Two of you are returning to RIMScast. One is making your RIMScast debut, Dr. Lianne Appelt. People might know Dr. Lianne Appelt from RIMS-CRMP Stories, earlier this year. [4:36] Trisha Sqrow of Marsh is next. Trisha says it's great to be part of the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. Trisha was with DFW Airport when they received Honorable Mention for the ERM Award of Distinction in 2021. [5:38] Lorie Graham is “the leading Oracle of ORSA.” Lorie was the Vice-Chair and Chair of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. As the former Chair, Lorie kept her word and helped see this paper through. [6:23] Lianne says that putting together a risk appetite statement or devising risk tolerance levels or the other elements described in this paper are some of the hardest things we do as risk professionals. When this was discussed in the Council, Lianne saw potential value in having a guide with examples for risk practitioners to learn from and use to grow their programs. [7:54] This paper was Trisha's first project on the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council (SERMC). Through working on this paper, Trisha got to know Lorie and Lianne. She used her knowledge and grew a lot in the knowledge gained from Lorie and Lianne. They divided and conquered, each doing an aspect of the project. [8:43] Lorie says working on the paper was a shared responsibility. They each had a different perspective, coming from different industries, having different roles, and facing different challenges in their organizations. It was fun to learn from each other. [9:30] Developing and Refining Risk Appetite and Tolerance is available through a link in the show notes. Lorie says that risk appetite is the direction your company wants to go and tolerance is the amount of variability around that target that you are willing to accept. Tolerance statements are like guard rails. Lorie explains more about risk appetite. [11:15] Lianne talks about when and how to start developing risk appetite and tolerance. It is discussed in detail in the paper. It depends on the circumstances, your stakeholders, and your leadership team. It can take a lot of input, iterations, and time. Use the guidance of your risk culture and make sure you achieve your objectives as a risk practitioner. [13:04] Lianne says a big part is understanding the culture and the organization. Risk appetite is usually one of the last things an organization addresses because it is hard. Your impact statements can inform your appetite and tolerance statements. [14:53] Lorie says the words of the risk appetite statement need to reflect metrics that are important to your business, in the language of the business, and connect to your business goals so people see why it is important. People need to understand the statements. Keep them fresh as the business evolves and the environment changes. [15:55] Whittling the statements down to one or two sentences can be hard, but it is important. It won't be perfect the first time. See how people translate it into the business. [16:27] It's RIMS plug time! Webinars! On June 6th, Evident ID makes its RIMS Webinars debut with Uncovering Hidden Risks in Your Third-Party Risk Management Program. On June 13th, our friends at Riskonnect return to present Unlocking the Value of Business Continuity and Insurable Risk Management. There are more to be announced for June and July! [16:52] Register at RIMS.org/Webinars. Webinars are complimentary for RIMS members! [16:59] The RIMS ERM Conference 2024 will be held on November 18th and 19th in Boston, Massachusetts. The agenda will be announced soon, as will a call for submissions for the ERM Award of Distinction. I'll have that link up soon on an upcoming episode. [17:17] Review your organization's ERM program, and if you feel it was successful and you have the numbers and the data to back it up, compile that information and get ready to submit your ERM program for the ERM Award of Distinction. [17:32] The Spencer Educational Foundation has the goal of helping build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals. They achieve that goal in part through a collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the United States and Canada. This also applies to not-for-profit entities. [17:51] If this description applies to you, you should apply for a Spencer General Grant. The application deadline is July 30th, 2024. General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. [18:07] The Spencer 2024 Funding Their Future Gala will be held on Thursday, September 12th, 2024 at The Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. Links are in this episode's show notes. [18:43] Dr. Lianne Appelt is featured now on the RIMS-CRMP Stories.  A link is in the show notes. Lianne speaks of common challenges risk professionals face when developing risk appetite and tolerance statements. A lot of the challenges are interdependent. One challenge is where setting a risk appetite statement and developing tolerance ends up being a compliance activity. [19:28] For many, it is a “check-the-box” exercise they don't want to spend a ton of time, effort, or energy thinking about how it can add value to the business. They want to do the bare minimum and move on. That leads to another challenge, the “set-it-and-forget-it” situation. If it sits on a shelf or in a Dropbox folder and nobody looks at it, it doesn't add any value to the program. [20:41] Trisha says some of it is having an unclear value proposition and not relating it to the business or the culture of the organization. People ask, “We're doing fine, there have never been issues, so why do we need this?” The value proposition of appetite and tolerance is that it empowers decision-making throughout the organization. It replaces bureaucracy in decisions. [21:36] Statements of risk appetite and tolerance allow you to allocate resources properly to bump up tolerance when needed. They help the organization to be more agile. They tie ERM to your business's strategic goals and initiatives. [22:43] One of the biggest challenges Lorie faced was asking herself, if you set a tolerance and exceeded the tolerance, did you fail? If you exceeded the appetite, did you fail? It's not failure, it's an opportunity to see it coming, know that you're reaching it, and have a strategy before you get there to change your trajectory, risk appetite statement, or goals. [23:26] Get people on board with the understanding that not hitting the target isn't a failure. As you're developing the program, allow for what to do when you need to make an exception. How does that play into how you report? You want to make it so it's not punitive. You want a culture of people being open about variances. It might be an opportunity to be OK with an exception. [24:32] You don't want to chase the data and adjust your tolerance all the time, but it's OK to look at what your appetite is, as you go forward. [24:47] Lianne says another common challenge is the organization's leadership, board or legal team has decided that they absolutely will not put something on paper in terms of risk appetite. That is fairly common in industries like tech, where there is no mandate for ERM. The risk team has to come to the table and demonstrate that value proposition so the leadership understands. [25:30] If the leadership is adamantly against it, what do you do? That is touched on in the executive report. You can achieve objectives without having a formal risk appetite statement. [25:48] Lorie has not seen leadership resistance, as she is in the financial industry where risk appetite statements and tolerance are required. She addresses falling out of target for tolerance. If you've done it right, you see it coming and have a risk response plan. Lorie shares a financial example where an action plan is triggered and a crisis is prevented. [27:13] Trisha and Lianne presented this at RISKWORLD 2024. It was well-attended with lots of audience participation. They had made a similar presentation at the ERM Conference in Denver. The topic has led to more questions and comments than Trisha has ever had at a speaking event. When they put up the QR code for the paper, lots of phones went up. [28:09] Lianne thought it was fantastic. There were good questions. Lots of people resonated with the challenges Trisha and Lianne presented. Lianne hopes the paper will help guide them on their journeys. If anyone wants to download the paper it is available on the Risk Knowledge page of RIMS.org. Lianne has gotten emailed questions from the session and answered them. [29:30] Lianne was an extra in Wonder Woman 2. Justin was an extra in Find Me Guilty with Vin Diesel, directed by Sidney Lumet. [31:14] Lorie looks first and foremost for curiosity in a new hire for ERM. You need to be curious about the cause and effect of things. You also need good data analytic skills, and acumen for making critical decisions, using deduction, and coming to conclusions. With those skill sets, you can be tremendous at ERM risk management. [31:56] Trisha looks for collaboration. A risk practitioner works with people from all over the organization. She looks for people able to gather and understand people's points of view and meet them where they are, sometimes with persuasiveness. It is important to speak to people at all levels of the organization. ERM is at that strategic level so you'll have to speak with leaders. [32:59] On top of those great qualities, Lianne adds perseverance and flexibility. Especially in tech, there is constant change and evolution. If something doesn't work the first time, you can't give up. You have to be able to maneuver situations creatively and come up with solutions that speak to the culture of the business. That makes you more collaborative and successful in ERM. [33:42] This has been such a fun interview. You wrote a terrific paper, Developing and Refining Risk Appetite and Tolerance. We appreciate all you do for RIMS! On behalf of the organization, thank you very much!

In this episode of the Real Trending podcast, Tracey Velt interviews Julie Harris, co-founder of Tim and Julie Harris Coaching. Harris has deep insights into what agents are struggling with right now (inventory!) and offers solid ways to find more listings.  She also explores trends in the industry, such as the value of expanding one's center of influence and emphasizes the importance of focusing on fewer, more meaningful goals and breaking them down into daily and weekly tasks. By whittling down weekly goals and consistently taking proactive actions, agents can make significant progress in their business. Julie shares pivotal moments in her career and offers three to-dos for agents to change their business. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: The lack of inventory is a major challenge for real estate agents, but being proactive and creative in finding inventory can lead to success. Real estate commission lawsuits are causing uncertainty in the industry, but agents can navigate this by being more professional and transparent in their buyer representation. The most successful agents are those who are proactive, stay educated, and focus on expanding their center of influence. Pivotal moments in a real estate career can include making strategic pivots, such as targeting luxury markets or returning to basics that have proven to work in the past. To change their business, agents should focus on generating new business daily, staying educated, and expanding their center of influence. Focus on fewer, more meaningful goals and break them down into daily and weekly tasks. Consistently take proactive actions to make progress in your real estate business. Invest in personal development and maintain a healthy lifestyle for overall success. Whittling down weekly goals helps agents stay focused and avoid overwhelm. Here's a small preview of today's interview. The transcript below has been lightly edited for length and clarity: Tracey Velt: We also have the uncertainty of the commission lawsuits. The Sitzer one has been adjudicated, it's being appealed, but we have a ton of copycat lawsuits all over the country. It's got agents and brokers on edge. How are you coaching through that fear? What are your recommendations for agents and brokers moving forward? Julie Harris: The first thing to remember is that this is not going to make changes overnight. It's unlikely for everyone to wake up and have a completely changed world. That is unlikely. We have to remember that we literally have hundreds of years and millions of transactions and millions of real estate professionals who have done things in a way that made sense for a really long time. And to try and just change that suddenly is highly unlikely. When Sitzer was decided, some of the first calls I had wanted to make sure I had my facts straight. Yes, it's more negotiable, but it has not markedly changed. They have to have more transparency. They're being more careful with their buyers. They're doing a radical thing called a buyer presentation. We're used to listing presentations. All of our coaches have used a buyer presentation since day one.

Ken Cox, president of Hostirian and host of the Clicks & Bricks Podcast explores the dual impact of the virus: how it brings about both biological changes and psychological warfare through country-enforced isolation. The conversation also delves into concerns about children's privacy as they unknowingly share data, and emphasizes the need for tools to safeguard metadata before sharing.

The day I recorded this episode I said YES to bringing my son's computer to school when he forgot it. I wanted to say no, but mom guilt and people-pleasing made me say yes. 20 minutes later I was pulled over and given a ticket.

We'll meet up on zoom and chat. I'd love to meet you, so stop thinking about it and take action! Remember, you can't think your way to clarity, but taking action will lead you there.

People used to just sit for hours on porches. Maybe you never did but saw someone older than you sit around and talk. Remember Andy & Barney on the TV show sitting on the porch talking or playing guitar? Some folks had a knife and stick and whittled while they sat. If you didn't whittle, there was always talking, or rocking in a rocking chair, or listening to nature. If you lived near a road, you could watch the cars go by. Does that seem an incredible waste of time? We have believed lies. They include: “You must maximize your productivity,” and “Doing nothing is a waste of time.”Doing nothing is neither a waste of time nor easy. It takes concentration and effort to turn off the impulse to do, and to instead spend time “being.” But it has great rewards.

Before Corey and Chris take time off to prepare for their NFL Draft show, they recap the first week of MLB action. Also, they talk about tragic death of Dwayne Haskins, the recent slump for the Pens, and the playoff return for the Nailers. To close the show, they play a couple rounds of Wordle's football spinoff.

Rest! In some D&D 5E campaigns, it's taken for granted. In others, like Tomb of Annihilation, PCs may have to make their HP and long-rest abilities stretch for days. And like in real life, sleep deprivation changes the game! As we've started our Tomb campaign, it's really driven home how Dungeons & Dragons's rest cadence has a huge impact on how characters play, and it's not an even handicap. Barbarians, fighters and warlocks barely notice. Clerics, wizards, sorcerers and artificers (poor Bixy!) have to hoard power uses like platinum pieces — we hope you know where you stowed that crossbow you got during character creation! And that's just the start of our questions about rests in D&D. Is it realistic for the party to take an hour-long lunch break in the dragon's lair like this is a union gig? What do you do about parties that try to rest after every fight? Is the full-healing you get with a long rest essentially, as one Wise DM put it, “D&D on super baby mode”? How can the DM use all of these nuances to their advantage to tortu… er, have fun with the players? Thorin, Tony and Dave discuss all that and more in this episode of 3 Wise DMs. 1:00 Sleep deprivation and your adventurers: Tomb of Annihilation doesn't allow long rests in the jungle, here's how it's effecting our PCs 4:00 All classes are not equal: Rest restrictions hit certain PCs completely differently 13:00 Whittling away your will to survive: Is 5e's long-rest full-healing mechanic “super baby mode”? 18:00 Some idea for increasing spell recharging without long rests 24:00 Make sure your players know what they're getting into 27:00 Limiting long rests puts less burden on the difficulty and length of encounters 31:00 How frequently should the party be able to rest in your average D&D 5E game? 41:00 Are their lunch breaks in the dragon's lair?! When and where is it OK to let the party short rest? 51:00 Final thoughts

Kelly Fredrickson is a fireball of energy, enthusiasm, and encouragement in her role as SVP in Marketing for Bank of America as she leads creative teams to produce work that drives a consistent brand voice in all communications as well as throughout the customer experience.  But at the same time, she is also a cool balm of support for the take care of the essential elements that sustain and grow their capacity to be even more impactful through their creative contributions.In addition to her current role working on the client side of the advertising relationship, she has also spent many years working on the agency side as well, for Modernista!, Hill/Holliday, and Heater Advertising. But after a 28-year career in advertising and marketing, Kelly hit a wall and found herself asking the question: “Why is this not working for me anymore?” She wanted to dig deeper and with the support of her boss, she enrolled in a yearlong certificate class in positive psychology at Kripalu Whole Being Institude. The work she did through that program laid the foundation for a bigger life project called, “My Year of Whittling”. It's a process of cutting away what doesn't matter in your life so that you can focus on what does.
