Jeff Kerr: Our First Amendment Right to Receive Communications (from Monkeys) 30:14

"It is a scientific fact that these macaques, like all other primates, including humans, are communicating. They communicate in much the same way we do - facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, those kinds of things." - Jeff Kerr Jeff Kerr is PETA foundations Chief Legal Officer. I asked him to come on the show to talk about one of PETA’s current lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Nathional Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). PETA is arguing that the monkeys being tested on in a government run facility are capable of communication (or “are communicating”). And that we have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to receive their communications. This could be a game changer in allowing us to see what’s really going on in labs that are funded by taxpayer money, and which have so far been censored from public view. PETA’s lawsuit follows years of NIH’s attempts to deny Freedom of Information requests banning PETA executives from its campus and illegally censoring animal advocates’ speech on NIH’s public social media pages. Through the lawsuit, PETA is seeking a live audio-visual feed to see and hear real-time communications from the macaques who have been kept isolated, used in fear experiments, and had posts cemented into their heads. Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades and know that the monkeys communicate effectively and intentionally through lip smacking, fear grimaces, body language, and various cries and sounds—all of which constitute speech under the law. Primatologists can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.…

She's filled with incredible wisdom and has such an amazing perspective on this thing called entrepreneurship (as well as life!). Most of this conversation centers on her attitude and approach, particularly starting with having fun ... being more of the authentic you .... and showing up, consistently.

Entrepreneurs: How to Decide What's Next 6:16

۶ years پیش6:16

6:16

One of the great questions we ask ourselves but can often haunt us as entrepreneur is: What's Next? Asking "What's Next?" is a great exercise to keep us focused on protecting and growing our businesses. For me, it was about staying relevant in the market and to our customers well into the future. And taking the right steps to ensure our future. I did this "What's Next?" exercise often .... here's how it'd go: FIRST, I started with assessing our current situation. Where are we now? Our customers, our products, our competition? SECOND, I started pushing Fast Forward on it all .... and asked, "Where is it all going next?" To help look into the future ... I'd take those buckets ... customers, products, competition, technology, industry, etc ... and would go ... what would 10X better be for all of it? What's the natural progression of all of this? And I'd play it all out. Hockey great Wayne Gretzky is often quoted that his key to success was that he "skated to where the puck would be, not to where it had been." And from this exercise typically I could see clearer for where the puck was going .... and I'd have 1-3 clear priorities to focus on steer our way forward and "create our future."…

As a starting again entrepreneur, I've been asking myself this question: How could I charge (or get paid) $1,500 an hour for what I do? Two questions for exploration follow that: * Who do I need to become to charge that? Particularly my skillsets, approach, even messaging * What are the results and outcomes I could offer that would be truly transformational at the end of that hour? These questions have been helping me lay out a plan to level up what I'm doing, how I'm talking about it ... but more importantly the transformations I'm offering my clients.…

The One Mindset For Improving My Mental Health ... Don't Go It Alone 8:29

8:29

Never, ever, ever go it alone. It's a message I have to remind myself of every day. To seek, ask for, and receive help and support. And then the three essentials I rely on for supporting my mental health are: 1. Counselor on speed dial -- just like I have a primary care who I can call to get help when I'm physically sick and for checkups, I also have a counselor to work on my below the iceberg issues. And the science is so strong and indisputable on these two practices that I've woven into my life and am seeking to embed them even deeper: 2. Exercise -- I do run-walks aka rualks and also pushups. Exercise is the "mood booster and stress buster." I'm seeking to amp up my intensity minutes daily now. But I run in 100 degree heat, not because I'm grinding ... but because I want to feel better. And I always do when I exercise. 3. Mindfulness -- I don't do this daily but I want to because I know scientifically and practically the benefits in my life of it, in so many areas.…

We talk about a lot of things like the stigma of mental health that keeps too many people isolated and suffering in solitude, how she helps clients find the right fit for their mental health struggles (including but not limited to addiction - at no cost to them!) and elements of AA that resonate like support groups and sponsors and finally why call it recovery.
