We couldn't find a place for this bit in the episode itself, and we thought it'd be vital here on the first day of 2024. What's your intention for the year?

Listen to Jen's experiences and insights on leadership coaching, belief in oneself, Plucky's So Now You're a Manager e-course, and the importance of community. Your work and home life will totally thank you for it!

By the way, there are currently two (2) virtual So Now You're A Manager cohorts planned in 2024, dates are TBA, interested folks can pre-register here.

The theme of this year’s DOBD course is: TIME. It doesn’t matter who you are, examining what you spend time on is the quickest way to reveal your priorities. How are you using your minutes, your hours, your weeks and years? In this course, we’re going to figure that out – and we’re going to make sure it’s aligned with your intended direction. You’ll get a workbook to print, coaching videos, time management resources and a special Spotify playlist.

Jen Dary, founder of Plucky (and the next guest on How This Works), says, "In examining the way I spent my own 2023 time, I realized that there were too many reluctant obligations and not enough breaks. This is so valuable to know! Every year I’m grateful to spend a day reflecting and steering my ship… and I invite you to join me in this annual tradition!"

In our wide-ranging conversation, Skipper and Karen delve into the importance of empathy in today’s world, along with the differences between empathy and compassion, unconditional love, practicing non-judgment and acceptance, and much more.

Zolt has helped produce awe-inspiring astronomical images from the Hubble Space Telescope — which just celebrated its 30th anniversary. Now, he turns his lens to terrestrial matters closer to home. Our topics range from the vastness of space and specifically The Hubble Space Telescope's field of view and how professional astronomical telescopes don't "see" color.

And we're starting the season by revisiting with Dr. Peter Chin-Hong of UCSF, getting into the current state of coronavirus/COVID, what teaching medicine looks like right now, and what infectious diseases might come in the future. We recorded this episode over two sessions and and covered a good amount of topics along the way, including the notion of reinfections (more and more common with Omicron), how the testing numbers may not reflect actual cases with more and more home testing (and some people not testing at all), how an at-home test is different than a PCR test, and the current slate of variants — BA.1, BA.2, BA2.12.1, BA.4, BA.5, XE, etc.

Even though we saw almost 10,000 downloads, we're going to do things a little differently for this go-around — or season number two. Dropping episodes weekly was more effort than we had thought it would be 😅 so we'll release episodes the third Thu every month. Among others, we're looking to chat again with Dr. Peter Chin Hong — PCH — from UCSF. Other potential topics might include Ukraine-Russia history, wine making, solar panels, life after death, coffee, modern schooling, Bigfoot, long haul truck drivers, being a firefighter, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and nonfungible tokens.

Thank you for your continued support. Look for the new episodes to begin dropping a few weeks from now.

Let us know if you have any questions or guest suggestions for the second season.

Please be safe. And we'll talk again in a few months.

"Many of you have expressed outrage, sadness and frustration over the increasing violence that’s happening toward Asian Americans. If you’re looking for ways to help, consider supporting the Asian Americans Advancing Justice initiative. The organization works to ensure Asian American and Pacific Islander voices are being represented and that their civil rights are being protected. One of the areas they work within is to raise awareness of the growing racism and discrimination toward Asian Americans. If you’d like to help, visit: https://www.advancingjustice-aajc.org/"

There are a ton of resources online but a good place to start is Stop AAPI Hate's latest national report, tracking anti-AAPI hate incidents so far during the COVID-19 pandemic. Read the full report on their website: https://a1w.90d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/210312-Stop-AAPI-Hate-National-Report-.pdf

We love our Asian community. And together, we must all stand against hate — whether that's against Asians, BIPOC, women, or any humans. #StopAAPIHate #EnoughIsEnough #EndRacismNow #NotYourModelMinority #RacialJustice #generationz #Organize #Representation #aapi #asianamerican #socialjustice #changeisgood

Especially interesting is her discussion of the single most misquoted statistic in communications research, something that she dives deeper into during the show tomorrow.

It's new episode Tuesday! And we have a conversation with Chris Landon today about his lifelong love of horror movies and how that's played into his work as a screenwriter and as a director. We talk about a ton of movies, including some of his own — "Disturbia" (2007), his helping to reboot the "Paranormal Activity" series, "Happy Death Day" (2017), "Happy Death Day 2U" (2019), and "Freaky" (2020).

One of our favorite parts is when Skipper admits he's not really a fan of horror and Chris tells him off. Chris is joking, of course, but there’s real #truth in there too.

And with the larger arts' community — where much of their work has ground to a halt — keeping in mind that the Arts makes up 4.5% of total GDP and creates over $877 billion dollars annually in value-added to the United States economy and employs 5.1 million people. Especially as our lawmakers have a due date of 11 Dec for spending bills before adjourning for the holiday. Be an #artshero today! https://beanartshero.com
