    enSeptember 14, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • The Complex Legacy of Queen Elizabeth IIFor some, Queen Elizabeth II represented progress and inspiration. For others, she evoked painful memories and darker aspects of British history. Her death also symbolically marked the passing of a generation for some individuals.

      The legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, as discussed, is complex and multifaceted. For some, she represented progress and inspiration, particularly as a woman in power. For others, she evoked painful memories of colonialism and the darker aspects of British history. Additionally, the speaker shared a personal anecdote about how her mother believed the queen's death would mean the passing of her own grandmother, due to their shared birth year. This illustrates the deep-rooted symbolism and interconnectedness that some people associate with the monarchy. Overall, the conversation highlights the intricacy and nuance of the queen's impact on individuals and society.

    • Unexpected connections between a grandmother, a queen, and community buildingFind meaning and connection in unexpected relationships, build strong communities, and value responsible and sustainable practices

      Unexpected connections can be found in the most unlikely places. During a conversation on a podcast, it was suggested that two seemingly unrelated figures, a grandmother and a queen, could be considered "sisters in heaven." This idea, while strange at first, highlights the importance of finding meaning and connection in unexpected relationships. Additionally, the podcast introduced Neighbor to Neighbor, a California volunteers network that encourages building social bonds within communities. This initiative emphasizes the value of relying on neighbors for support and community growth, especially during times of need. Furthermore, the podcast highlighted the significance of California avocados and the dedicated local farmers who grow them using sustainable methods. This connection between people and their produce serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible farming practices and the rich stories behind the food we consume. In summary, the podcast conversation emphasized the importance of finding meaningful connections, whether they are unexpected relationships or building strong communities. It also highlighted the significance of responsible and sustainable practices, whether in agriculture or community building.

    Jason Citron - Building the Third Place - [Founder’s Field Guide, EP.4]

    Jason Citron - Building the Third Place - [Founder’s Field Guide, EP.4]
    My guest today is Jason Citron, founder and CEO of Discord. Discord is one of the largest and fastest growing social networks in the world. It started as a place for gamers to congregate online, but thanks to how easy it makes it to create a community of any type and its offering of text, audio, and video as means of communication, it has expanded far beyond gaming. It has the potential to become the default digital “third place” that we go to find belonging in a variety of online communities. With over 100 million users, it’s also one of the most interesting communications service businesses since the original social networks rose to power. Our conversation focuses on his background prior to Discord, Discord’s founding and growth, its business model and how it has evolved over the past 8 years, and what the future holds for Discord. As we talked, I had this sense that I’d be willing to go work for Jason, and I think you’ll see why. I hope you enjoy our wide ranging conversation.   This episode is brought to you by Microsoft for Startups.

    Taylorism: What It Means Today

    Taylorism: What It Means Today
    Extolled by management societies and consultants, Taylor's Principles of Scientific Management, published in 1911, laid the groundwork for a clear demarcation between labor and management: management was for planning, guiding, and measuring, and labor was for moving stuff around and doing as it was told. Controversy still rages over the genius or evil of this approach and what it has meant for a capitalist system. We look at Taylor's life and his work's impact and consider what bearing it has on today's world.
