Change always creates resistance and fear. As we move through this crisis, let us take the chance to re-align our focus to what's important and to what we each can do to create change, empathy, and community.

    Maggie Jackson - The Islands of our Knowledge

    Via my wonderful friend Craig James arrived Maggie Jackson. So here's a tiny sample of our journey together:The unease of uncertainty is actually a gift.Ambivalent CEOs are actually better performers.It's fear of uncertainty that sets you back, not uncertainty itself.Try on the Unknown.What does it mean to be human now that we are married to these technologies?That's just for starters. Come join us, please, as we explore the rich and wonderful topography that abides between The Islands o...

    Carey Corr - I Thought a Lot Older

    Carey Corr has a marvelous story. He is a film-maker and carries a boundless sense of curiosity and adventure. He's fearless and we share the excitement of new ideas alongside a deep suspicion of knowing as a way to live - it's embracing how little we know that gives us energy.Education, Laurel & Hardy, W. C. Fields, science fiction B movies, no holds barred as we realize that, each of us, as boys, realize that "I thought a Lot Older."

    Clarabelle Miray Fields - It Has to be Raw

    I met Clarabelle Miray Fields on a forum about creativity and knew I'd need to listen more to what she had to explore. She was self-publishing when she was four, binding her own books using her mother's hole-punch and yarn. She writes speculative fiction, both prose and poetry, and we take a stroll through the land of creativity. She's thoughtful, wide-ranging and candid. And she firmly believes that for writing to grab us, It Has to be Raw.

    Glenn Behenna - Distinctly Average

    We gathered each other through a mutual friend, Colin Smith. Glenn Behenna worked in the steel industry, as a member of the constabulary (a cop), went back to school, and now he is a Senior Lecturer and Senior Fellow at University of Wales Trinity St. David. He didn't hit his academic stride early, though as he says, "It must have been in there somewhere." We explore culture, society, education, government, "legislated inoffensiveness," change and hope. A couple of well-seasoned guys who...

    Peter Cook - Bring Their Brains to Work

    Music, toxic HR culture, confounded with structure, 'I cycled through the pandemic,' moral hazard and money to be made, exam strategies and rock songs, and then our conversation took off. How can you not like listening in on a conversation with Peter Cook, who wrote Sex, Leadership and Rock N 'RolI: Leadership Lessons from the Academy of Rock?We're each (and both) proponents of a world where jobs encourage people to bring their brains to work.

    Michael Padurano - Showering in the Dark

    We can be successful in business, outwardly merry, envied and admired. At the same time, we may be carrying a corrosive load of trauma, unhealed emotional and spiritual bruises that can lead to broken relationships, thoughts of suicide, and addictions both behavioral and chemical.Spend some time with Michael Padurano and me as we explore the pain that leads to showering in the dark, and the redemption of a healing oasis.

    Tamsin Astor - A Pillar of Pleasure

    No stone left unturned in this one. Tamsin Astor is fearless, peripatetic (as in she's been all over the place geographically and educationally), and embracing. I would love to get together with all the back2different community, walk together for a while, then just sit and listen. I am very blessed to be part of this wondrous crowd, and Tamsin is no exception.Tamsin and I run through the Irish goodbye, the dance of the universe, being a good faker, feeling too much, change as life, and all wi...

    Jim Burke - Be Careful Not to Should All over Yourself

    Jim Burke appeared through my connection with Craig James, and each connection enriches the other. I finally got some time with Jim and off we went, looking carefully into kinds of questions, since the questions we ask, not the answers we find, shape our reality. We batted around living through "Have you thought about this?"We agreed that we both don't know nothin' and just had a grand time traveling through our stories together, both having reached a wonderful step in our road and reach...
