In this episode, Samm describes the impact reading fiction has had on her own growth and why a healthy stack of fiction books are now an essential part of her reading habit.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Tim Cakir, a Growth Consultant who helps companies, entrepreneurs, and students achieve fast and consistent growth. I'm so excited to have Tim on the show, we connected through mutual friends and I instantly knew I had to invite him to talk about how to include everyone on your team because that's what Create Magic At Work is all about!

Tim is a tool addict, so we start off by talking about brainstorming tools he recommends and how to use them to create a common technological space when the idea sparks.

In this episode, we discuss:

A new perspective on how to make everyone on your team feel included
Tools for effective brainstorming sessions

Conservation, Religion and the Power of Conversation With Betsy Gaines Quammen Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

Betsy Gaines Quammen is a writer, historian, and conservationist. She is the author of American Zion: Cliven Bundy, God, and Western Public Lands. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, New York Daily News, and the History News Network. She has a doctorate in Environmental History from Montana State University and a Master's of Science in Environmental Studies.

Over the years, she has studied various religious traditions, with particular attention to how cultures view landscape and wildlife. The rural American West, pastoral communities of northern Mongolia, and the grasslands of East Africa have been her main areas of interest.

We will discuss the protection of our lands from a broad perspective, with Betsy bringing into focus new understandings of the issues around the abuse of our indigenous people with respect to what was their land. She shares knowledge gained from her experiences with religious communities that feel no obligation to care for the land to militia actions intent on removing indigenous people.

We'll also talk about her commitment to having fierce conversations across the aisle to find inevitable common ground and begin to heal the deep rift in our culture and address the enormous problem of the Climate Crisis. All this and her next book, True West: Sorting Realities on the Far Side of America, out in the fall of 2023.
