Episode Introduction

Hey listeners, welcome to a brand new episode of Redefining Society, where we dive deep into the intersection of technology, society, and humanity. I'm your host, Marco Ciappelli, and today, we're not just unpacking a contentious debate; we're setting the stage for a crucial conversation about the often misguided blame game played at the expense of technology.

Joining us is none other than Daniel Castro, a name that resonates with authority in the realm of information technology and internet policy. As the vice president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation and the director of ITIF's Center for Data Innovation, Daniel's insights are the ones that fuel informed debates and policy-making. His acumen for navigating complex issues like privacy, security, and the digital economy has made him a go-to source for leading media outlets and a pivotal figure in shaping internet governance.

On our show, we're known for cutting through the noise and getting to the heart of how technology intertwines with our social fabric. In a world quick to cast aspersions on the digital scape, Daniel's perspectives are more important than ever. His piece, "Maybe Everything Isn’t Tech’s Fault," serves as a launchpad for today's discussion, urging us to question the ease with which we attribute the pitfalls of human judgment and systemic flaws to the convenient culprit that is technology.

Together, we'll explore the real stories behind the sensational headlines and unpack the layers of accountability that often go unnoticed. Are we unfairly demonizing the tools and innovations that have become integral to our modern existence? Let's find out.

Get ready for a conversation that promises to be as enlightening as it is provocative. This is Redefining Society, and it's time to challenge what you think you know about technology's place in our lives. Stay tuned.

Workshops bring the best out of their participants when they are experiential. Which person wants to sit in a workshop that is indeterminable from a lecture? We do not enter these spaces for dictation, we enter them for learning and feeling and experience.

And so that has become Cate Czerwinski’s priority: to design memorable, unique, experiential workshops… and what a success she has found!

On the other side of memorable experiences are long-lasting learnings and change. Which, when we boil it down, must surely be the priority for facilitators of all kinds?

Join me and Cate for an invigorating conversation about experience, experiences, and how it all translates from facilitator to participants and back again.

Find out about:

• What Cate’s ‘failures’ have been and what she learned from them
• How to transform team dynamics — in a workshop and beyond your immediate reach
• Why Cate plans herself, in the persona role of ‘facilitator’, as part of her overall workshop plan
• How to work with the room practically, physically, and emotionally
• Why transforming energy has become one of Cate’s most-treasured and -used skills
• How to help teams integrate feelings and the language of emotion into their measure of success

Today we are beginning a conversation on race and racism. We need to have an open and honest conversation as we see once again a bubbling up of anger and outrage at the injustice. We want to explore together the issues that are underlying and how we can be a part of the solution and no longer being silent. We can't stay in ignorance but learn why people are so angry. We want to learn what we don't know.
