  • Lior Arussy, "Dare to Author!: Take Charge of the Narrative of Your Life" (Greenleaf, 2024)
    2024/11/11
    In this episode Drora Arussy interviews her husband, Lior. As this book brings in personal accounts and builds on experiences, there was some banter and stories that normally do not come up in discussions like this. Lior Arussy’s latest book, Dare to Author! from Greenleaf book club press, 2024, is a call for people to write—and therefore own—their life’s story, even when events are unexpected and don’t always turn out the way we want. The book is a manifesto and a guide to converting life experiences into future strength, resilience, and development and, in the process, transforming ourselves from victims to victors. Incorporating unique personal insights and his own professional experiences, Arussy carefully describes the challenges and dangers of living life authored by circumstances, social pressures, or other people, and he provides a proactive way to process and convert life experiences into future resilience, strength, and development. If we are not converting life experiences into authored chapters of our own life story, we are blocking our ability to grow and manage future challenges. Readers will come away inspired, confident, and ready to act with three important concepts A reality check/wake-up call asking Who is authoring your life’s story? and an explanation of why readers may not have authored their own life thus far. A process to start writing the reader’s story by crafting chapters that will develop resilience and a growth toolbox for life. An understanding of the application of the Authoring Process to professional and personal situations, making that authoring process more relevant and accessible. Readers from broad backgrounds who are looking for guidance in how to live and lead in the best way possible, in personal relationships and professional life, will finish this book with the following thoughts: It’s about me. He gets me. I am not alone. My feelings are real. I can do it. I can take control of my life. It is a choice to become the victor. I refuse to default to victimhood. I am hopeful. Lior Arussy is a seven-time author and one of the world’s leading authorities on customer experience, transformation, and change, and the founder of the transformation firm Strativity Group. Arussy helped some of the world’s leading brands such as Mercedes Benz, Delta Airlines, Walmart, FedEx, Johnson & Johnsons and MasterCard to author the next chapter in their success.

  • The Rewards (and Challenges) of Running One's Own Historical Consulting Firm
    2024/10/03
    I talked to the river historian Scot McFarlane who runs his own historical consulting firm, the Oxbow History Company. My guest shared how he translated his passion for river histories into work with clients and how he found his niche within this competitive market. It was fascinating to learn about the daily grind of running a historical consulting firm, the numerous challenges involved as well as tremendous rewards. Scot talked about rediscovering the pleasures and the freedom of historical writing for non-academic audiences, helping others see familiar spaces in a completely different way as well as helping organizations connect with people who may be into "environmentalism" yet who care deeply about rivers. We also discussed overcoming the various challenges to building non-academic career pathways while completing a PhD. A very honest conversation, hope you'll check it out.

  • Ellen T. Meiser, "Making It: Success in the Commercial Kitchen" (Rutgers UP, 2024)
    2024/09/27
    The restaurant industry is one of the few places in America where workers from lower-class backgrounds can rise to positions of power and prestige. Yet with over four million cooks and food-preparation workers employed in America’s restaurants, not everyone makes it to the high-status position of chef. What factors determine who rises the ranks in this fiercely competitive pressure-cooker environment? In Making It: Success in the Commercial Kitchen (Rutgers University Press, 2024), Ellen T. Meiser explores how the career path of restaurant workers depends on their accumulation of kitchen capital, a cultural asset based not only on their ability to cook but also on how well they can fit into the workplace culture and negotiate its hierarchical structures. After spending 120 hours working in a restaurant kitchen and interviewing fifty chefs and cooks from fine-dining establishments and greasy-spoon diners across the country, sociologist Ellen Meiser discovers many strategies for accumulating kitchen capital. For some, it involves education and the performance of expertise; others climb the ranks by controlling their own emotions or exerting control over coworkers. Making It offers a close and personal look at how knowledge, power, and interpersonal skills come together to determine who succeeds and who fails in the high-pressure world of the restaurant kitchen. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is a Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla (Lexington Books, 2023) and Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington Books, 2022). His general area of study is at the intersection of built-environment, experience, identity, and place. He is currently conducting research on how architectural designers, builders, and community planners negotiate a sense of identity and place for residents of newly constructed neighborhoods.
