“Impact”
There's a scene in “One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest”, where Jack Nicholson is denied the ability to watch the World Series in the mental hospital that he is in. So he stands in front of the TV and starts doing a fake play by play of the World Series to just pretend like he's watching and it gets all the other guys excited and, and all these patients are standing around the television and cheering and going crazy. That scene changed my life! I was like “whatever that is... I want to do that.” I want to arouse in audiences the kind of emotion that that scene did for me. It was just such a big moment cinematically but also just for me personally... that impact! I wanted to do that for others. That's when I started to want to become a filmmaker.

“Downstream Effects”
One of the major statistics that keeps showing up again and again both in Homelessness, Incarceration and Trafficking, is that for example in Los Angeles 80% of trafficked victims actually were in foster care. 75% of those incarcerated in America were in the foster care system at some point. 50% of homelessness, were in foster care at some point... Forgive me for speaking for the rest of the team but the reason why we are all so passionate about this as if we catch up the problems upstream, (reforming the foster care system in the United States of America, as well being able to navigate reunifying children back to their homes, or finding them a forever family a safe and loving family if they can't go back to their families) then we will actually catch up all of those things upstream and reduce significantly those numbers

“Scale”
When we try to handle these things on an individual basis and they're issues that are actually happening at a national scale or global scale, the scale is skewed so one of the things we do see happening is the emergence of a lot of mental and emotional well being issues... we see this rise of of terms like “compassion fatigue” or “eco anxiety” being now recognized by the American Psychological Association & the Canadian Psychological Association... These are real issues that people face when they have a sense of despair about the state of the planet and about their own well being. What becomes really important is being able to see what's happening at the appropriate scale, so that you can lessen that pressure on yourself instead of feeling like it's all sitting on your shoulders.

“Hope and Fear”
I've always believed that... especially when you love something or somebody so much you have to experience fear, unless you have a lot of faith. If you love your kids you don't want them to get hurt, or if you love your wife, you don't want her to get hurt or you don't want her to leave, You don't want her to die... you love so much that you're afraid. And the only way to get rid of that fear is to trust in something else that something else is going to take care that those things aren't going to happen or if they do they're simply planned.

Emotion and Hope - Dr. Laura Craig-Bray
The Hope Strategy Podcast
01/06/21 • 65 min
Dr. Laura Craig-Bray talks about the use and benefits of EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy) - a tool for strengthening relationships through the awareness of emotions and their ties to identity and behavior. Dr. Laura explains what EFT is and details the two “types” of people in relationships: The Pursuer - and - The Withdrawer. This episode is a great look at how therapy can be used to strengthen relationships even when there is no apparent “need” or “problems”.
Highlighted Quotes
“Assumptions”
We live our lives with unquestioned beliefs about relationships, the world, and ourselves that impact our relationships with other people.
“Blame”
What I love about EFT is that we don't focus on blame or who is “wrong”. Rather, because of our history we often carry into our relationships barriers to intimacy... and by trying to understand those, understand yourself, and make yourself predictable to your partner and to yourself... then you can feel safe.
“Trauma”
We talk about Trauma with a capital “T”... but there is also trauma with a little “t” ... and what many people experience growing up is that there is no one there to help them learn about their emotional world... in some ways that is a form of neglect because there was no one there to help you understand your emotions and tell you that emotions are ok... that's a small “t” trauma that we see an awful lot of.

Educated and Unschooled - Kerry McDonald
The Hope Strategy Podcast
12/16/20 • 51 min
Kerry McDonald shares her optimistic view of education and education innovation along with her insights about the remote learning situation many parents currently face during the pandemic. Kerry defines “Unschooling” - the idea taught in her book “Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom” and gives evidence based advice and hope to parents seeking a better way to educate their children. This episode is a great reflection on what education really is and how it should be approached.
Highlighted Quotes
“Opportunity in Education Entrepreneurship”
We're seeing tremendous growth in all aspects of the economy in terms of entrepreneurship, of course that's not offsetting the vast number of businesses that have been shut down due to government orders, but it is a hopeful sign that entrepreneurship is alive and well and I think, again, education entrepreneurship is ripe for more opportunities and more innovators to create some really wonderful options for families.
“Defining Unschooling”
“Unschooling” is really disentangling education from schooling and seeing schooling as one method to being educated sort of top down, course of type learning where you know here are your daily assignments here are your tests and quizzes here's your ABCDEF grade, and yet learning is so much broader and again more enriching than that experience. Also unschooling doesn't mean that you're not taking classes, it doesn't mean that you're not doing what we would consider school like activities. It just means that it's a less coercive experience and it's more driven by the child's interest.
“Parents”
Parents are the ones, ultimately responsible for making sure their children are highly literate and numerous highly educated, and I argue that that's true whether your children are homeschooled or in a conventional school that it's up to the parents to make sure your children are getting a high quality education that it's your responsibility as a parent to do that.

Entrepreneur in Education - Jason Earl
The Hope Strategy Podcast
10/07/20 • 74 min
Jason Earl professor at BYUH and Entrepreneur shares his vision for the future of education along with his thoughts on success and happiness. Jason shares how his upbringing created the desire to do well in school and taught him the value of working hard and smart, the value of opportunities, the lessons learned building a successful business and optimizing your own weaknesses through the right team. This episode is a great look at what it means to be successful, the real value of traditional education and what needs to happen in order to future proof the education process.
Highlighted Quotes
“Bad Zoom Classes”
The shroud is off and people can finally peer into higher education, and for the first time in the world people could see what a bad zoom class looks like... it's not pretty. I think what's really happened is we've jumped into the future about 10 to 15 years. I'm convinced there are some educators out there that can do it, and they can teach it and I think this is a huge opportunity for them because this is a chance for a lot of well meaning people to find a platform and put their own foot back in education and really help.
“Skills”
There's so many skills now that can be gained just with a decent internet connection and with a tablet or a laptop. You can learn skills in project management, and digital marketing or whatever... There's a lot of things that students need besides just passing some class... they need that confidence, they need a network and they need the brand.
“Intangible value”
If you can learn to value the things in life that you can't put a dollar amount on and then devote your life to those things. I think that's where you find your greatest reward and even to this day I look at you know some of my best students and I'm so proud of them. But I also look at my students who are simply, you know back in the Philippines and working with their families and they're running a small business, they're happy. they can provide for their families. They feel like they are part of something bigger than just themselves. And they're creating jobs in their own little way and they're changing the world so I think, I think those are the two examples.

This episode is a great look at creating positive work culture and building a life you can be proud to live.
Highlighted Quotes
“Stoic Mindset”
I tend to have a Buddhist-Stoic mindset for a lot of things... there is going to be suffering it's just part of humanity and it is part of life.one of the things that I have seen is that you are dealt the problems that you are capable of solving them. If you aren't capable of solving them, you wouldn't have them. That has encouraged me to find bigger problems because I feel that I can certainly solve bigger problems that I'm currently facing right now. You should want to have those problems and those challenges in life.
“Core Values”
We look at our core values as a triangle of Freedom, Honor and Trust. what happens is if you have too much freedom... then what happens is your trust and your hunger go down. So it's something that you want to have balanced... again perhaps too much hunger or too much drive and you end up working 80 hours a week and you are losing your freedom, and maybe you are eroding trust as well as you walk over your teammates so like balance has been a big thing for us.

“Failure is Not an Option”
“It is NOT “Ok” to fail. When you fail you ruin peoples’ lives, you waste money, you waste time, you waste many things... So don't get a cavalier attitude about failure. Having said that the odds are you WILL fail so the question is - “what lessons did you learn that will increase the probability of success next time?”

“Imposter Syndrome”
We all have something about ourselves that is always with us but that we don't like to look at. Maybe something that drives us, something that we feel embarrassed by... for a lot of people it's a sense of imposter syndrome. I can tell you the number of people in my life who are people you've heard of probably, who are CEOs who are otherwise thought leaders, influencers, etc. I can tell you that, by and large, many of them, most of them even have the sense of imposter syndrome. My advice to anyone who cares, is make friends with that, whatever it is, because it's going to be with you and it's in there's nothing you're going to do to get rid of it. It's your passenger and it's probably the fuel in your tank and and when everything is said and done, chances are, wherever you succeed in your life It's probably because of that thing...it's probably your strongest investment.
