    The Next Forest: Episode 19

    The next forest is a concept about how to re-build the vibrant economic and social society that we want after the world burns down. I talk about my perspective on what has caused this. A lack of modernization as we moved from a manufacturing economy to a services economy. Our memorization based education system has re-inforced the wrong skills, and our delegated decision structure in business culture has created a large mismatch between effective work and company functions. What we are seeing are ruptures not cracks. The episode is inspired by the permaculture strategies I studied in the 90's. I talk about co-operative biological systems in forests and how that may provide a model for rebuilding our economy. Note: I recorded this with the wrong microphone, it used my computer's microphone instead of the headset. Upon review, I liked the content enough to publish it, but you'll notice a bit of background sounds and a difference from the other episodes.

    The Racket: Episode 18

    This one is a bitter series of topics. Uplifting only if you are looking for the answers about the fleeting small business and entrepreneurial communities, declining industry in the United States, and potentially balanced look at the history of creating something that is ahead of the curve. "I am, today, signing into law H.R. 6971, which will make it illegal for manufacturers to fix the prices of consumer products sold by retailers. [...] The so-called fair trade laws were a response to the unique economic conditions of the Depression. These State laws require all retail merchants to sell brand name merchandise at a price set by the manufacturer if the manufacturer wanted his product to be labeled a fair trade item. [...] In today's economy, these restraints on competition no longer make sense." - President Gerald Ford, December 12th, 1975 President Fords Address is on page 38 of this document: https://www.fordlibrarymuseum.gov/sites/default/files/pdf_documents/library/document/0055/1669141.pdf Your host, Firecrow Silvernight: https://comparebasic.com/team/firecrow.html

    Warriors To Caregivers: Episode 17

    From warriors to caregivers this podcasts examines the lens of emerging strength in male archetypes through the lens of a few movies: Blade Runner, Wall Street, Zoe And The Astronaut, The Walterweight, The American Revolution, Margin Call. Strength has historically been associated with war, physical power, or the business-shark hard-hitting business-man. In light of recent events, with the murder of Alex Pretti, the role of admirable hero goes to a male nurse, while the role of coward goes to the federal agents with guns. This reversal of classical male stereotypes inspired a contemplation of how valuable care giving is in our society by reflecting on plots in the above movies.

    Small Pigeon: Episode 16

    The small pigeon gets bigger by finding crumbs that have bounced far away, while the other pidgins fight over the larges piece of bread. I talk in this episode about how the economy of scale has shaped consolidation, and how small or emerging companies have a huge opportunity by chasing anything nuanced, high quality, or at a premium price. Full of reflection about how scheduling using software is killing retail and restaurant staff's way of life. It's a hopefully cynical episode.

    Let's Rebuild: Episode 15

    Advocating for starting over is tough in a world that is holding on to a business culture that is bleeding out. I outline three things I think the small business world can do to catch the falling pieces of the American big business world. #1 A skills marketplace that goes beyond a traditional resume. #2 A way to let bottom-up decision making balance participation and trust. #3 An accounting model that can track intangible assets to re-balance company value away from salary being a cost without financial benefit.

    What The Value: Episode 14

    Live you're values is better than lecturing your values. Lecture your values and walk away with nothing or live your values and have the satisfaction of incremental progress. This episode focuses on the role of patience in knowledge transfer, and how that forms a background for composable software and usable user interfaces.

    Seriously Human: Episode 13

    Seriosly Human is the employment framework from Compare Basic. This podcast outlines the ideas of how a hybrid worker-collective corporation could be structured and run. And what project-management steps would need to happen for that to be the case. I also outline a little bit about the business model in comparison to a restaurant. We have open source tools, restaurants use the same ingredienst you can buy at the store, you pay both of us for out service. Read more about Seriously Human at https://comparebasic.com/seriously_human.html Correction: my update was innacurate, I recorded early last week, but then skipped the Tuesday, so my predicted progress was a week late but still awesome.

    Don't Return My Calls: Episode 12

    In a bit of a technical mood, I talk extensively in this episode about the cornerstone of the Caneka system I am building with Compare Basic. If your alergic to tech-jargon, best to skip to the next episode! I do explain in metaphorical terms some of the struggles that modeling the world using existing assumptions has created. As inspriation struck I recorded this podcast early: It's Mondays on Tuesday (on Friday!). Your host, Firecrow Silvernight: https://comparebasic.com/team/firecrow.html
