The Hopeless Idealist: Ellie Krug on Human Inclusivity

Join author, activist, and wonderful human Ellie Krug for a discussion about idealism, the human condition, vulnerability, and what it means to be inclusive.
In 2009, while an Iowa civil trial attorney with 100+ trials, Ellen (Ellie) Krug (pronounced “Kroog”), transitioned from male to female. She later became one of the few attorneys nationally to try jury cases in separate genders. From 2011 to 2016, she served as the executive director of Call for Justice, LLC, a Minneapolis legal nonprofit that was conferred an American Bar Association award for innovatively increasing legal access.
The author of Getting to Ellen: A Memoir about Love, Honesty and Gender Change (2013), Ellie has presented on diversity and inclusion to governmental entities, court systems, Fortune 100 companies, law firms, nonprofits, and colleges/universities on
nearly 800 occasions. A hopeless idealist, Ellie has presented her human inclusivity training, “Gray Area Thinking®” across North America.
In 2016, Advocate Magazine named Ellie one of “25 Legal Advocates Fighting for Trans Rights.” She is a monthly columnist for Lavender Magazine and pens a widely-circulated monthly e-newsletter, The Ripple, that reaches 6000 people. Ellie views herself as an “Inclusionist” and founded an inclusion-oriented consulting and training company, Human Inspiration Works, LLC, in late 2016.
Ellis is also a weekly radio host; her show, “Ellie 2.0 Radio,” on AM950 in the Twin Cities highlights idealism and how each of us can play a role in fostering positive change in the world. Ellie’s remaining life mission is to work for a more inclusive society for all humans, regardless of how many are considered “Other.”

The Soul of Video Content with Director Nick Cavalier

Director Nick Cavalier joins hosts Frank King and Kristin Walker to talk about his work and filming tough subjects. He was the director of the documentary Down Again. Kristin had interviewed Chimaira frontman Mark Hunter, the subject of Down Again, on our show. That film is an exploration of the connection between mental illness and creativity. The film explores the catharsis of making music and art and how the result affects the fans.
What we wanted to check in with Nick about was how he as a filmmaker handles his own mental health challenges while filming intense, raw, vulnerable, and sometimes controversial material.
Nick Cavalier is a director of films, commercials, branded content and music videos. A visual and character-focused storyteller, Nick is known for his high production value docu-driven films with poetic hero centered themes. Nick has been honored with awards and selections at festivals such as SXSW, Palm Springs, and Cleveland International. His work is featured in multiple national publications including New York Times, VICE, Shorts TV, Devour, HYPEBEAST, Alternative Press, Funny Or Die, G4, MTV, Fast Company, Juxtapoz Magazine and many more. Nick is lauded for his award-winning feature film and character portrait on famed artist Derek Hess titled Forced Perspective, his short film about vinyl record resurgence Gotta Groove Records and his new short film on mental health and creativity titled Down Again.
“I believe that video content can have soul. It can be a cultural experience. I believe the work MUST speak for itself. I believe that if a brand or agency, and the creatives behind the campaign see eye to eye, you build something worth watching. I believe in making the films I want to watch.”
