    Give Yourself Permission to Write Badly with Caroline Ailanthus

    Give Yourself Permission to Write Badly with Caroline Ailanthus

    As the dawn broke over the latest installment of Entrepreneur Perspectives, a singular luminary emerged from the mist, her pen poised with the deftness of a swordswoman. Caroline Ailanthus, an esteemed author, editor, and writer in her own right, graced the airwaves with her wisdom on the art of writing.

    With two masters of the craft in dialogue, the conversation flowed as easily as a swift river in spring. From the depths of their shared experiences, Caroline provided invaluable tips on surmounting the great obstacle of writer’s block, that bane of the scribbler’s existence. Drawing upon her own formidable skills, she illuminated the importance of trust between the writer and the editor, a sacred bond that can only be forged in the furnace of collaboration.

    Through her shining example, Caroline reminded us that editors are not critics, but rather compassionate guides, honing our work with an eye towards improvement. The key takeaway from this episode? Give yourself the freedom to write badly, for the journey of a thousand words begins with a single scribble. With the first stroke of your pen, all is possible, for everything else can be tended to in the hallowed halls of the editorial process.

    In the end, the fires of creativity burned ever brighter, and the listeners of Entrepreneur Perspectives were left with a sense of wonder and inspiration, ready to set sail upon their own literary voyages.

    The Moment That Changed Everything for a Rising College Basketball Program with Thad Matta

    The Moment That Changed Everything for a Rising College Basketball Program with Thad Matta

    The place was Coach Thad Matta’s house. The date was March 4, 2005. It was two days before Ohio State was to take on the undefeated and number-one team in the nation, the Illinois Fighting Illini. No one gave the Buckeyes a chance. But it was in Coach Matta’s house on that day that the coaches knew they needed to have a winning mindset. And then two days later, late in the game, the Buckeyes had a decision. To go for the tie or to go for the win… the rest as they say is history. And this short episode, featuring then Buckeyes’ Assistant Coach Alan Major and Head Coach Thad Matta, talks about this moment that changed everything for the Thad Matta-led Ohio State Buckeyes basketball program.

    Medicating Normal Documentary Discussion | About Lynn Cunningham

    Award winning filmmaker, and co-director/producer of Medicating Normal, Lynn Cunningham produced, directed and edited films/TV for PBS and the History Channel in the 1980s and 1990s. A Quiet Revolution: The Emergence of Alternative Education in Japan; Twenty Years of Co-Education; A Family in Progress; An Innovator’s Story, Behind the Scenes, Walter Reuther & the Birth of the UAW, Tadao Ando, Butoh: A Body on the Edge of Crisis, etc).

    Twenty years ago, as Lynn was becoming a parent herself, she witnessed with crushing despair the dramatic transformation of a beloved family member. Once a bright, high functioning student-athlete having graduated from an elite college, Lynn’s relative had become in a few short years– a terrified, suicidal shell of her former self— diagnosed with serious mental illness. Putting their faith in the best psychiatric standard of care at the time in the late 90s, Lynn and her family were initially reassured by the relief and stability provided by medication and therapy. After a ten-year period, however, one medicine had become ten, and income from a vibrant, self-sufficient career was replaced with monthly disability payments. Unable to provide an answer to her relative’s persistent self-doubt, “Is everything going to be OK?”” Lynn began searching for answers. She joined with her filmmaking partner Wendy Ractliffe, embarking on five years of research into the complex world of mental health treatment. After discovering Robert Whitaker’s Anatomy of an Epidemic, they interviewed 100s of psychiatric patients and consulted with scores of experts across the country about their experiences. A personal quest to help one suffering individual turned into a mission to tell an untold story. In Medicating Normal, Lynn and Wendy began to piece together a stunning new perspective on the safety and efficacy of psychiatric drugs and society’s over reliance on them to relieve pain and suffering.
