IT in the D

IT in the D, Episode 50.

We were going to call it "Girls, Girls, Girls", but then we realized that we'd probably get "Slapped, Slapped, Slapped", and so...yeah, no.

As we knew it would be, this episode was a blast.

We were joined in-studio by Kate Catlin of Assemble: Giving Small Businesses a Bigger Chance, Elyse Turner from Brightwing, and Erika Carlson of Girl Develop IT - Detroit and Detroit Labs.

It was a wild ride from the get go...

As always, our first segment ran through the introductions around the room, and then dove into some news and events that have caught our eye over the past week.

The links to find those stories...and some we didn't get to due to time constraints but are still worth taking a look at...can be found down below.

Kate Catlin

For our second segment, we hopped in with Kate Catlin to talk about her project geared towards helping small business downtown improve the way they do things.

She's got a Rockethub (kinda like KickStarter) campaign going to help fund site development of an online marketplace and exchange for local businesses to partner and work together.

There's a whole host of cool incentives for donors, including coffee mugs from Great Lakes Coffee, a great lunch, a spin class, a tour of historic downtown bars, flower delivery, something for foodies, and tons more.  Even though she hit her original goal, she's now aiming higher to get even more done, so check it out and donate at http://www.rockethub.com/projects/44667-assemble-giving-small-businesses-a-bigger-chance

Elyse Turner

Our third segment focused in with repeat guest Elyse Turner from Brightwing.

We talked about the job market and the kinds of positions that Brightwing is currently on the hunt to fill, as well as what they're seeing in the local industry scene with regards to contract, contract to hire and permanent placement positions.

We also dove into some common ground that we've all walked over from time to time - helping out college students (and others) who are woefully unprepared for the real world upon graduation.

Students with 3.8 and higher GPAs that should be a lock for the jobs that they're not getting, and the feedback coming in says it's because of the lack of softer skills - they can't communicate properly, they don't know how to talk with people, they can't express what it is that they actually do or want to do...or even worse, they're showing up unshowered, completely unprepared...

...or they have their mom keeping tabs on the recruiter and the interview process...

...yeah, that's a great idea.  Check out Brightwing and everything that they have going on out at http://www.gobrightwing.com/

Erika Carlson

We saved the best for last (no offense to Kate and Elyse, of course) and our fourth and final segment roped our other repeat guest for the night, Erika Carlson, on to center stage.

Erika has her hands in just as many (if not more) things as we do, and so it's always good when we get can our schedules to sync up so we can play catch up with her.  And get a new drop or two for future usage...

Her two main areas of focus these days are her work as one of the founders of Girl Develop IT - Detroit and her "real world" job at Detroit Labs.  For those not in the know, she not only talks the talk, but has walked the walk herself.  She was studying clinical psychology just a few years ago (which probably explains why she knows how to manipulate the three of us so easily and well) when she made the gutsy decision to switch gears and head into coding.  Her frustration with finding good resources led her to partnering with a few others to start the Detroit chapter of Girl Develop IT, a 501c3 charitable organization dedicated to getting women more involved and engaged with technology by teaching them how to develop in various languages and get them up to speed for a new career track.  That whole backstory can be heard way back in Episode 2 of our show here.  She then took what she learned both through her own studies and while teaching, and is now working at Detroit Labs, a great company downtown that's doing something we harp about constantly - solving their own talent shortage by creating what they need.  Their Apprentice program just recently closed out the latest round of applications, where they had over 200 people apply to be a part of a program that actually pays people to learn on the job and gain the skills that Detroit Labs specifically needs as an employer.

What a novel concept.

Jazz Fingers. They happened.

So listen live and hear all about what Kate, Elyse and Erika have going on, as well as every Freudian slip you can possibly make during a two hour broadcast and other random mayhem.

Tune in next week as we're joined by the CKC Agency and Dom Riggio of Mess Bucket Comics.  Because no, we're still not done talking about our Comic Con adventure just yet...

IT in the D, Episode 49.

Or "Season 2, Episode 5" because no, we haven't let that go yet.

We talked a lot about Detroit this episode.

A lot.  We also had some issues with the board running things, so the sound's a little twitchy at times, but we've cleaned it up as solidly as we can.

Businesses in Detroit. Launching things in Detroit. Space planning in Detroit. Good things in Detroit. Bad things in Detroit. People inside Detroit. People outside of Detroit. All kinds of topics throughout the show with our guests from Hatch Detroit, Bamboo Detroit and Daily Detroit...

As always, our opening segment talked some news, some local events, some random stuff that caught our eye, and waded through the introductions for the evening.

This was one of those episodes where we kind of went all over the map, so if you're looking for a specific segment to listen to in order to catch something...sorry, you're just going to have to listen to it all to get the full impact of this one.

Our second segment started diving in with Vittoria from Hatch Detroit.  She's a return guest, and we did things a little smarter this year.  Instead of waiting for them to be down to their four finalists, we thought it'd be a good idea to help get the word out before the doors closed on your opportunity to get $50,000 in funding, legal advice and marketing help on that business you want to open downtown.  They also work with neighborhoods and existing businesses, so there's a ton of great information in here.

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/158056690" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]

And then...somewhere in there...we started talking about Detroit in general.

The neighborhoods.  Zoning issues.  What should and shouldn't be done with the area by the river.  Were the casinos a great idea or a horrible idea?  Can businesses inside Detroit successfully migrate to the suburbs...and vice versa?  What's a pop-up?  Why do they happen?  Why are there always so many damned bicycles downtown these days?

So no, we didn't really stick too well to "segment" format or even what one would call "focused"...but it was a great show full of awesome topics of conversation with some really sharp, passionate people.

Expect that to happen on a regular basis.

IT in the D, Episode 48.

Or "Season 2, Episode 4" for those paying attention.

If you've never listened to an episode of our show before, and if you never listen to another episode of our show again...the second segment of this one is all we can possibly ever ask that you check out.  It's an eye opening conversation that'll make you rethink your priorities.

It certainly had an impact on us...

This was probably one of the more disjointed, scattered episodes that we've had...but we'll own it.  We knew it would be walking in the door, but it's for a damned good cause - getting people aware of, and engaged with, Operation Kid Equip.

Our first segment was the usual round of introductions around the room, a few news topics that caught our eye like the Supreme Court decisions that killed off Aereo and requires police to get a warrant to search your phone...and how you should react to that if they try.  We talked about some new facial recognition software that Ford is planning for future vehicles, as well as how the FAA is now classifying some toys you or your kids have sitting around as "drones".

Our second segment is where things got serious and really knocked us back in our chairs a bit.

Menachem from Operation Kid Equip joined us in-studio to talk about the various programs and services that they offer, and just exactly how many people are struggling to barely keep above the poverty line...or failing that struggle...and the impact that it has on the kids that their organization is dedicated to helping.

I can't put a heavy enough emphasis on this - listen to this segment.  Like I said earlier, if you've never listened before, and if you never listen again...this segment is the one that we're literally begging you to give a chance.  It doesn't take much to help.  It's not hard at all to get engaged.  It's so easy to have a major, fundamental impact on a child's life right here in the area.

And that's the point we really want to stress - these aren't kids in a commercial from some faraway land.  They're right here.  In your neighborhoods.  And you don't have to pony up thousands or hundreds of dollars.  Their newest program, Sponsor a Student, is looking for a few bucks.  Literally probably less than you blow on two drinks in a single night.  Buy a six-pack and use the difference from drinking in a bar and help these kids out.

This is a volunteer driven organization.  They're not like a lot of places that are paying their CEO six figures and has a giant nest egg in the bank.

AND THEY'RE HELPING KIDS.

Look, we don't get "preachy" all that often.  We don't ask for damned near anything from anyone.  At all.  Ever.  ...but last night's conversation really kicked us in the ass and woke us up a bit as to some of the problems in the area and you can damned well expect that you'll be hearing more about Operation Kid Equip from us in the future and us being more involved with them in the future.  Honestly, how many times have you ever heard / seen me speechless?

There you go.

One simple, easy way you can get involved and have a great time while doing it is to join us on Saturday night at the XICW Detroit "BEST IN DETROIT: Border Wars" event that is a benefit event for Operation Kid Equip.  A portion of the ticket sales, as well as a 50/50 raffle and some other special events taking place that night will go to Operation Kid Equip.

And it's live professional wrestling.  Big guys taking on big guys.  Not so big guys taking on other not so big guys.  Tag teams.  A cage match.  A ladies match.

Look, it's no secret that Bob and I have gotten fairly heavily involved with this whole "wrestling" thing over the course of the past two years...and we've done so because we have a blast while we're there.  It's a perfect "turn off your brain and just enjoy" time.  And there's a fully stocked bar...two of them, actually.  And you can get food.

AND IT'S TO HELP KIDS.

We'll make you a deal - you come to this event on Saturday night, and you come find Bob or I.  We'll buy you a drink.  We'll figure out a way to get you sitting by us so we can chat, laugh and have a great time...while we're all at an event that's helping kids.

And it's wrestling, which is a blast.  It's some of the best professional wrestlers from here in the metro Detroit area taking on some of the best professional wrestlers from across the river in Canada.  Today is Canada Day.  Friday is Independence Day.  And so on Saturday you've got these two groups coming together for a phenomenal event (did we mention it's to help kids?) with not just their own pride on the line...but National pride as well.

It's going to be a blast, and if you don't have a great time...well, at least we'll have bought you a drink and you can tell us to our faces that we're idiots.  We're good with that...mostly because we don't believe it'll happen.

So go buy a ticket and be there: http://www.xicwdetroit.com/index.php/tickets/  on Saturday night.  VIP doors open at 6:30, General Admission ticket holders get in at 7pm, and yes, there's a meet and greet, you can hang out, you can get photos, you can get autographs, or you can just sit with us and drink.

The Operation Kid Equip folks will also be on-hand taking donations, and not just cash.

Want to donate?  Do it the night of the event.  We'll be taking cash donations for them, and they'll be on-site with us every step of the way making sure that every dollar donated gets right to the programs most in need.

We also get it...cash is tight.  Don't sweat it, there are other ways you can help out.

Take a look around the house, or over the course of the next few days as you're out doing your own shopping, pick up an item or two from their "most needed" list of items.  They're not huge, there's nothing over the top.  Here's the list of items that they are constantly most in need of:

Crayons (16- or 24-packs)

Pencils

Pens

Markers (washable)

Scissors (blunt-tip)

Rulers

Glue Sticks

Spiral Notebooks

Copy Paper

Erasers

Backpacks

Besides these core school supplies, you can also donate other new & gently-used items which are appropriate for school-aged children and their classrooms:

Snacks (non-perishable, not expired)

Hygiene items

Clothing & Winter Wear

Binders

Office Supplies

You know you have some of that stuff just laying around gathering dust in a closet somewhere.  Or that you can pick up a couple markers or erasers or something small to donate.  Bring that stuff to the event with you on Saturday, July 5th, and they'll take it from there.

We defy you to read this story - http://operationkidequip.org/cant-afford-to-keep-me/ - and then look us straight in the eyes and tell us you can't do something to help kids like this.

So watch this video to see a little bit about XICW (it's 30 seconds long. watch it.)

...and then we'll see you on Saturday night.

In our final segment, we doubled back some more with Menachem, we touched a little bit more on Saturday night, and we talked Facebook experiments with repeat offender and one of our always favorite guests, Billy Strawter of Social Coop Media.

IT in the D, Episode 48. Or “Season 2, Episode 4” for those paying attention. If you’ve never listened to an episode of our show before, and if you never listen to another episode of our show again…the second segment of this one is all we can possibly ever ask that you check out.  It’s […]

IT in the D, Episode 47.

Or "Season 2, Episode 3" for those keeping score at home.

Extremely solid episode.  We could have easily spent an hour or more with each one of our guests for this one, as the conversations kept evolving and getting more interesting.

Our guests for the night were Andre Arbelaez, President of the Hispanic IT Executive Council (among other things, the guy wears many hats), Justin Montalbano and Brian Ritter from Spincard, and Rifino Valentine of Valentine Distilling.

A growing demographic, an app, and booze.  We're in.

But, of course, our first segment is all about commentary, news, updates, info, etc., and there's the little matter that kicked off right as our show was ending last week and followed us all through the week...

If you haven't read this one yet, you should.

So as the fun new intro came to a close, it was time to dive into a few topics.

We kicked things off with introductions of our guests, and just general around the room touch points.

The fireworks were downtown last night, but we didn't have a single problem with traffic at all.  The parking lot was overloaded with bicycles for some reason, but we survived and made it into the studio for the show.

But of course it didn't take too long until we just said to hell with it and dove in with the David vs Goliath post and all of the fun and excitement that went along with that - https://itinthed.com/15136/were-not-going-anywhere-or-david-vs-goliath/.  And that led into blasting the state of "traditional" media today where unfortunately all of the real journalists have been let go in money saving endeavors and all that's left are basically trained monkeys who copy and paste press releases and treat it as "news" and...

...sigh.

Anyway, it's all in here.  You want to know about it?  Read that post and listen to this episode.  We gave ourselves one piece of one segment to get it out of our systems, and hopefully now it can be behind us.

That off of our chest, we hopped into a few news articles that caught our eye..

Then it was time for a break, and we came back for our second segment, where we focused in with Andre Arbelaez.

The Hispanic market is growing a lot faster than we were aware of, and this was a seriously interesting conversation.  From television to demographics, from the executive level presence to the various entry points into the workforce in general, from the market here in Detroit to the markets in LA, New York and Miami among others, this was a very educational and informative chat.

We easily could have spent the entire two hours talking with Andre alone, so you should definitely expect to hear him back on a future episode.

For our third segment, we hopped in with the Spincard guys.

I've got to give these guys all the credit in the world.  I'm sure they were expecting a nice, fluffy chat about their app and what they're doing, but it sort of turned into an episode of Shark Tank.

They did a great job explaining their app, their model and their plans for the future in the face of some pretty strong questions.

Hopefully we helped prep them for the venture capital panel they'll be facing in the not too distant future by asking the tough questions and digging in under the fluff a bit.

Our fourth and final segment was all about Rifino Valentine, owner of Valentine Distilling.

And that's a key point to get out there right away - they're more than just vodka, folks.  But don't feel too badly if you didn't know that, because apparently all the majority of people out there (ourselves included until we were doing some pre-show research) only think of "Valentine Vodka".

But they've also got gin and whiskey in the mix, as well.

They've won some pretty prestigious and solid awards recently as well, and if you're still reaching for that bottle of Absolut or Grey Goose thinking that those are your "top shelf" options, you should definitely change it up a bit, do yourself a favor, and shift into a bottle of Valentine's offerings.

Heck, pop on into their location at 9 and Woodward to try it out and see it for yourself.  Odds are good we're going to be there in the near future.

And that brings episode 47 to a close, folks.

IT in the D, episode 46.

Or "Season 2, Episode 2".  Whatever.  I'm still trying to figure out if I really want to go back, edit and rename all of the old episodes...

We'll see how that goes.

We had Julie from Simply Social Media in-studio as well as Jeremiah, Patrick and Nick from Daily Detroit.

And when Daily Detroit's in the house...things are going to get a little weird...

...and get weird, they did...but we'll get to that in a moment.

From watching World Cup soccer in a ball full of hipsters before the show to the PF Chang's hack and more, the opening segment was a good mix of topics as usual.

In our second segment, we hopped in with Julie from Simply Social Media to chat about Facebook engagement, why we still don't understand Twitter and more.

Segment three was all about the Daily Detroit guys...actually, it was mostly about Greedy Greg's barbecue and the social / political dynamics around businesses in downtown Detroit, where the funds are, who knows where the help is, and where the system is broken.

...which totally bled over into the fourth segment...

...and even triggered the start of an unprecedented fifth segment.

So...yeah.  Things got weird.  And real.  Really weird.

But a great show as always, and you absolutely need to pay attention to this one to learn a little more about what's going on around the area.
