    Why are people bound to write according to a particular theme or an already existing genre?

    Her question for us: Why not make your own genre or devise your own theme in life? Ria started her career at TCS Bangalore, where I was working in C# development. She realized her want to write and make content creation. She writes about society and social issues. Her dream is to have a platform for creative minds around the globe, and my goal in life is to be a successful creative head and a best-selling novelist. Ria shares with us her experiences in the writing field and what she is doing about the things she found. After working with a number of people that thought writing would be a simple or easy career she found that there was a problem in the entire space. Get ready for a great story and profound takeaways from our friend and crusader Ria Ghosh. Her thoughts that she wanted to add: I used to work in a pretty orthodox environment where creativity was never taken into consideration. I decided not to waste my creative energy on a project which failed to grasp my interest. I always wished to be in the creative team and writing paved the path for it. I used to win almost every writing competition in schools and this triggered my career change. I started writing for my brother's photographs and that helped me brush up my skills. I am a rebellious individual and when I saw that even people in the writing industry were not thinking out of the box, it just felt like the need of the hour. So I decided to build a place where I can have amazing people on board who have a passion for writing and a will to break the age-old molds. I am still a newbie and learning things, my journey till now has been very rocky and filled with uncertainties. A big career switch almost drained my savings and my parents were not sure of my choices. But I am happy and satisfied, I do not wake up stressed even if I have so much to do. There are a drive and a feeling of containment that I am finally able to do what I love. I took a massive risk by leaving my full-time comfortable job and it will pay off. I did not wish to wait because I am 23 at the moment and if I love something I need to grab it as soon as possible. A lot of people said that you should wait for a few years to understand the market and then start your own project but I want to start early. I will obviously fail at some decisions but it is okay. I will learn as I procced and develop the experience that everyone thinks is important to start anything. I believe to start anything you need to be excited about it and have that drive every morning, everything else will just fall in place. What questions or subjects broaden the subject that parallels what you are working on? Why do people think that writers need to have a degree in English? or Why is it so important to have a degree in creative writing. I can name 10 amazing authors with no creative writing degree. Some people just develop the fair of storytelling and it a beautiful gift. Obviously, everyone improves over time and a degree or not those who love to write will become successful.

    How Can We Get Everyone Aligned On The Same Page?

    If you want to focus on execution then look up Mark or feel free to build with us.  Mark, "The best way to frame that I'll go back to a couple of, assignments that I had and, and what got me really excited about the concept of alignment you know, my understanding of, you know, my role in the organization and, and you know, what I could do, I think most importantly for, for, other people that might not want to suffer all the brain damage that I have gone through, but, two, two key ones. One was Motels of America and what got me excited about that was we had about, 2,500 employees with 28 States, 108 properties. And it was made up of, I would say at least 10 different, small, motel chain. So we had a variety of systems and management policies and culture and whatnot, and, and the assignment was..." More stories and tangible application incoming! Cheers!

    What it means to be human and how to focus in crisis

    What does it mean to be human?  What we can do to prepare and what some people have done. How we can focus the energy we have in the world. The good news is the whole planet is with us. That's kind of an odd president or unprecedented. Rarely have we been in a situation where everybody was going through some version of this. Also that we are so highly communicative that we can actually connect with people. It was so cool seeing how quickly we mobilized. We are hopeful that, the amount of collaboration and focus that we have or the potential for greatness is something that people feel they can contribute to. A state where they can find exciting things for themselves in a struggle. In the time of suffering that we're all sharing in, look forward to how we can focus together and what it really can bring as far as value for people's lives. How they can make people's lives better, how we can make our. Existence together better. How does that sound? = Beautiful When the podcast ends "So I got goosebumps just hearing you say that"... This was one of the best talks I have had with my co-host, Maya Zuckerman. We cover... How are we focusing the energy in society and moreover ourselves? Brought Up & Some Addresses: What can you do to prepare? How can you drive decision making? How can we focus on the energy we are seeing? Where do morals conflict with intellectual property? How can sovereign bodies guide the nation they serve? What do you see as good? No matter the verdict, don't waste the time that you have. Its limit has always been there right with suffering. We don't mean that we could judge your usage of time to determine waste. It's more than the person in the mirror is the only one that has that conversation. It seems like a time!  As Maya has said, it's a time to look in that mirror and through the soul.

    How you can adapt to working from home with COVID-19

    So in this time of COVID-19, what does it mean that we all went home? 8 billion people were effectively told to go home. It's been a powerful couple of months for both of us with what we are working on. It's a really exciting time that we're working with organizations that are deeply thinking about how we can invest in what's really valuable for people. We have a critical time where a lot of that learning can really be put to the test on how to make people's lives better. So the question that we're thinking about as we watch a lot of societal effects happening is, What can you be investing in for your own adaptability? Kent refines this further... Kent: "So let's repeat it and let's make sure we've got it in our brains really well. What can we be investing in? And let's give it a base. So in this time of Corona, what does it mean that we all went home? Now I went home years ago. The last time I had a business with an office was in 2014 and 15. I closed that office down in 2015 and I moved into my garage. And I've been there in one form or another, more or less ever since. you know, and, and that was sort of me saying, I'm going to invest in being able to, to work from anywhere I want. And that's what I was thinking at the time... What's happening and, and part of this, maybe it's not my wake, but it's the wake of Corona, is that we are all being forced. Really fast, far faster than anybody's comfortable with, to effectively learning a new way of human interaction." So here we go and we hope you enjoy the episode. Thoughts from Kent Langley and Bryant Stratton who are systems thinkers. They work with futurist focused organizations that collaborate to make the lives of people better like OpenExo. We tackle questions each week that we feel are relevant to the current landscape. Casual Q&A format
