From Sept. 10 to 13, 2023, the second annual Future Proof Festival was held in Huntington Beach, Calif. In my capacity as Technology Reporter at Wealth Management Magazine, I was honored to be asked to be a moderator of the session, "Case Study: Revolutionary Cash Management for HNW Clients," on Sept. 13, 2023 on the Surf City Stage. Here is the description:
"At the Surf City Stage, Rob Burgess led an informative discussion with Ben Cruikshank, Lindsay Brock, and Brett Orvieto on innovative cash management solutions for high-net-worth clients. The trio discussed a groundbreaking white-label cash solution that promises direct integrations, making it simpler for advisors to earn from held-away cash. Moreover, this approach empowers advisors with a holistic view of a client's financial health, ensuring more tailored and effective strategies for wealth management."

I was once again honored to have been asked
to moderate a panel at the CBD
Expo Midwest 2021 event, this time on the topic "2021
INSIGHT: CBD Regulations in the Midwest" from 1:30 to 2:15 p.m.
Saturday, April 10, 2021, once again at the Indianapolis Marriott.
Panelists included Andrew Bauman, Joe Linne and Debra Smith-Torrence.
Here's the description:
“As we move into the first calendar
year, the DEA no longer considers Hemp to be a controlled substance,
the regulation of the hemp industry finally moves towards a place of
clarity. As banking and production rules and taking shape on a
federal level, individual states move to craft plans that will fit
their particular localities. Understanding how states operate is
crucial to running a compliant and successful national brand. As a
legal medical marijuana state with a widespread hemp industry,
Midwest regulators are crafting their own way. Between recent
decisions to functionally decriminalize cannabis, alongside executive
orders banning smokable hemp and creating a registry for CBD sellers
there is a lot to know about operating in the Midwest.”

On Episode 8, released Nov. 24, 2020, I
was a guest on the podcast, during which we discussed the Friday
night “TGIF” programming on ABC. I have uploaded the episode here:
I was honored to be invited by Cory Cathcart, a student at Indiana
University-Purdue University Indianapolis' Department of Journalism and
Public Relations in the School of Liberal Arts, to speak to her 300-level Feature Writing class from 3 to 4:14 p.m. Tuesday, March 26, 2018. The 3-credit lecture class was taught by Chris Lamb.
On March 15 and 16, 2019, the CBD Expo Midwest 2019 was held at the Indianapolis Marriott East. From 11:45
a.m. to 12:30 p.m. March 15, 2019, I was honored to be asked to be a
moderator at the “CBD vs. THC” panel. Here's the description:
“With CBD taking center stage this
year, there has been increased coverage of this 'miracle' compound in
the news. But it’s important to remember that THC is also a very
important cannabinoid with some very powerful properties. While many
enjoy the calming benefits of CBD without the psychoactive effects,
dose-dependent effects of THC can be very beneficial for a variety of
medical conditions. Cannabis science has rapidly advanced in the past
year, with studies published in top-tier journals on CBD, THC, and
CBD:THC. By comparing and contrasting the isolated effects of each of these compounds and how they interact
in the brain and body, we can better understand how the
endocannabinoid system works.”
Here are the self-submitted biographies of the panel:

I was born and raised in Indiana. I
became a marijuana activist in 2008. I have always been interested in
the healing property of the cannabis plant. What turned my interest
into a passion was our family dog’s battle with epilepsy. This
became the reason I moved my family to Michigan in 2014. After
extensive research, and getting certified I started an edible and
extract company. Medie Edie’s has successfully been setting a
standard for our industry since 2014. It has been my dream to be able
to bring back to Indiana my knowledge and expertise and apply it in
hemp and CBD. I am looking to vertically integrate from working with
the best farmers, to processing and making available a top quality
product for consumers.

Since 1998, the Bulen Symposium has been the premier forum for active discussions of American political parties, elections, and other important issues relating to our political system. Please join us as we bring together political practitioners, journalists, and scholars to discuss the politics that shape our world.
First held in 1998, the Bulen Symposium has had many prominent participants, including former U.S. Senator Richard Lugar, former U.S. Representative Lee Hamilton, former Indianapolis mayor Greg Ballard, and current Indiana governor Eric Holcomb. Political reporters who have participated include Jim Shella, Amber Stearns, Amos Brown, Lesley Weidenbener, and Tony Cook.

2017-03-26 - Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Kokomo speech
From 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, 2019, I was honored be asked
to be the official "tweeter" of Indiana Humanities' INseparable theme
event, "Chew on This: What Divides Us?" at Rooster's Kitchen in
Indianapolis.
Here is the original April 4, 2019 press release announcing the event:
Statewide dinner parties invite
Hoosiers to explore what divides us
“Chew on This: What Divides Us?”
will feature simultaneous conversations in restaurants on April 23 as
part of Indiana Humanities’ INseparable theme
INDIANAPOLIS (April 4, 2019)—Dig into
some tasty food and deep conversation as Indiana Humanities invites
Hoosiers across the state to explore the extent to which Americans
are divided along urban and rural lines.
On April 23, the organization will
offer simultaneous dinner conversations from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. called
“Chew on This: What Divides Us?” at 10 restaurants in
Bargersville, Batesville, Carmel, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, New
Albany, Rensselaer, South Bend and Warsaw.
The events are part of Indiana
Humanities new two-year INseparable initiative, which invites
Hoosiers to explore how we relate to each other across dividing lines
and consider what it will take to be inseparable, in all the ways
that matter.
“Nothing breaks down the barriers
among us like sharing a meal around a common table,” said Keira
Amstutz, president and CEO of Indiana Humanities. “With
INseparable, that’s exactly what we want to do—encourage people
to talk with each other rather than at each other and promote
understanding and empathy across boundaries.”
Among the topics of conversation will
be whether or not Americans are more polarized and divided than in
previous generations. Historians Kevin Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer
say yes, and that current divisions can be traced to 1974, when a
combination of the Watergate scandal, the end of the Vietnam War, and
anti-busing riots were among the many crises that rocked America.
Others look back to the 1920 census,
which was the first to show that the majority of Americans lived in
cities and towns, rather than rural areas.
At the dinner conversations, an expert
facilitator will guide the conversation and help participants
consider not only the sources of division in our society, but what
can be done to bridge divides. Among the facilitators will be history
teacher Dan Hawthorne in Rensselaer; Tory Flynn, Hillenbrand’s
director of communications, in Batesville; Tim Swarens, a journalist
and opinion writer based in Indianapolis; and Rima Shahid, executive
director of Women4Change, in Carmel.
Ticket prices range from $20 to $30,
which includes a meal, a non-alcoholic drink, tax and tip. Alcoholic
beverages will be available for purchase for an additional cost at
most locations. Space is limited and registration is required at
https://cotwhatdividesus.eventbrite.com.

I was invited to live-tweet the event by Claire
Mauschbaugh, events and communications associate at Indiana Humanities. Here is the "Tweeter Guide" sent to me:
CHEW ON THIS: WHAT DIVIDES US?
TWEETER GUIDE
Thanks for live-tweeting Chew on This:
What Divides Us? Your role is basically that of note-taker, but so
much more fun!
During the conversation, tweet out big
questions, interesting quotes and observations, and pictures of
delicious food and engaged participants. This conversation
is the first of our INseparable-themed Chew on This events. In March,
we launched INseparable, a new two-year thematic
initiative exploring how we relate to each other across boundaries,
real or imagined, and consider what it will take to
indeed be inseparable in all the ways that matter.
The theme of this evening asks
participants to look at divisions between Hoosiers. If our goal is to
work together, it’s important to name the barriers that
prevent collaboration, community or neighborliness. We hope that this
conversation starts a productive dialogue about how
and why we disagree, and how we might start to breach the boundaries
that divide us. #chewonthis @INHumanities
WHAT TO TWEET:
As our live-tweeter, your goal is
twofold: 1) Document what is occurring during the event, and 2)
Involve those who are not there. Things to keep in mind to
successfully live-tweet an event:
1. Prepare as much as possible. Make
sure you know the names of facilitators, etc. (and how to spell them)
and the Twitter handles of everyone involved
with the event. See the chart at the end of this guide.
2. Use the right hashtag and use it in
every live tweet or at the beginning of a tweet thread— #chewonthis
3. Mix it up! Tweet memorable quotes
from speakers and guests, intriguing questions posed, photos of the
group and the food, or fun, short videos.
4. Make every Tweet count. Post only
clear photos and be selective about quotes or insights you post.
5. Don’t attribute quotes to
participants. We want to keep the discussion a safe place. Feel free
to attribute to the facilitator. You can use a quote, just
don’t connect a name to it.
BELOW ARE SOME POSSIBLE DISCUSSION
PROMPTS OR FACTOIDS YOU CAN SHARE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT:
QUESTIONS
• Recent Pew Research Center polling
finds that 53% of urban dwellers believe that the values of rural
Americans
differ from their own, while 58% of
rural Americans feel as though their values differ from people living
in urban
communities. Do you feel as though your
values differ from your urban/rural/suburban counterparts?
• Are we divided along
urban/rural/suburban lines? Why do you believe this is the case?
• How is your community,
specifically, divided? What’s causing tension within your
community?
• Is it harder connect today than it
used to be? Why or why not?
• What role does the media or social
media play in our ability to connect across difference?
• What do we need to do to be less
divided?
FACTOIDS + STATS
(If applicable to the conversation)
• According to @PewResearch, rural
population loss is largest in the Midwest with a majority of rural
counties (especially farming counties) losing
population since 2000.
• Older adults are a higher share of
the population in rural areas than in urban and suburban counties.
Urban and suburban counties are becoming more
racially and ethnically diverse at a much faster pace than rural
counties.
Data from @PewResearch.
• Most urban and rural Americans say
people in other types of communities don’t understand the problems
people in their community face, according to
@PewResearch.
• About 4/10 Americans say they don’t
feel attached to their community. Rural residents are more rooted in
their community says @PewResearch.
• Urban Hoosiers are less likely to
rate Indiana as an excellent place to live compared to their suburban
and rural counterparts, according to the
@BallState’s Hoosier Survey: https://bit.ly/2Ip5SSa
• What unites us across rural, urban
and suburban lines? According to a @richard_florida survey, all
communities have a desire for high-quality public
schools.
Here are the descriptions of the event itself:
Thanks for signing up for Chew on This:
What Divides Us? The fun starts at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 23. Feel
free to arrive a few minutes early to mix and mingle, order a drink
and get comfortable. We will conclude between 8 and 8:30 p.m. (depending
on how talkative your group is!). Your ticket price includes a meal,
non-alcoholic beverage, tax and tip. If you plan to order beer, wine
or cocktails, please bring an additional form of payment (cash
recommended).
Rooster’s Kitchen
888 Massachusetts Ave, Indianapolis, IN
6:30-8:30 EST
On Tuesday night we’ll be talking
about what divides us and how we might start to breach the boundaries
that divide us. We’re curious to hear what you have to say, as well
as learn from our expert facilitators. Open to a little homework?
Read ahead:
· This op-ed from the New York
Times explores why people leave, stay or return home to a community.
And here is a summary of the event after the fact:
Thank you for joining Indiana
Humanities for Chew On This: What Divides Us? Tuesday night's event
brought together more than 150 Hoosiers in nine communities around
the state for an evening of great food and insightful conversation.
Chew On This: What Divides Us? was part of our INseparable
initiative, which invites Hoosiers to explore how we relate to each
other across boundaries, real or imagined, and consider what it will
take to indeed be inseparable, in all the ways that matter.
It's a leap of faith to show up and
talk about big ideas with strangers. A few themes emerged in nearly
every location: the need for courage and vulnerability to talk even
when we disagree, the importance of honesty coupled with laughter as
we tackle tough topics, and the power of food and neighborliness to
bring people together. Click here to read through some of the
comments and observations of those who took part across Indiana.
Thanks to the facilitators for leading interesting and meaningful
conversations and the tweeters who captured what happened.
INseparable is a two-year Indiana
Humanities initiative that invites Hoosiers to explore how we relate
to each other across boundaries, real or imagined, and consider what
it will take to indeed be inseparable, in all the ways that matter.
About
Whether due to real or perceived
differences, Americans see each other differently depending on
whether they live in rural, suburban or urban communities. The
conclusion drawn from the near-constant polling, media commentary and
academic analysis of the past two years is that America is culturally
divided by its geography. In 2019 and 2020, Indiana Humanities
invites Hoosiers to dig into these divides, exploring how Hoosiers
relate to each other across boundaries and considering what it will
take to indeed be inseparable, in all the ways that matter.
Over the next two years, INseparable
will address the ways we’re the same and the ways we’re
different; how we benefit from working together and when we’re fine
on our own; the barriers we build and the ways we look beyond our
differences; the progress we’ve made and our persistence to endure.
We’ll explore how Hoosiers and
Americans have thought about urban, suburban and rural differences
over time and what we think about them today. We hope to spark
conversations about the ways in which the futures of urban, rural and
suburban Hoosiers are linked and what might be preventing us from
working together.
As a proven convener and conversation
starter, Indiana Humanities will push Hoosiers to look beyond the
demographics of the urban-suburban-rural divides to consider the
people behind the data. With programming that facilitates discussion,
self-examination and fresh perspectives, Indiana Humanities will seek
to help residents from all settings cross boundaries and gather to
explore the opportunities and challenges we share.
WHY THIS THEME, WHY NOW?
We believe the humanities can help
individuals and communities make sense of the real and perceived
differences between urban, suburban and rural Hoosiers. They can
provide context and lenses for analysis, as well as create space for
critical inquiry, open-ended consideration and reflection.
To that end, we’ll use these
animating ideas to guide our work:
How can the humanities help
Hoosiers frame and understand the real and perceived differences
across urban, suburban and rural lines?
What’s the particular history of
how Hoosiers have related to each other across lines of
urban/suburban/rural difference? How have these tensions or
differences played out politically, socially, culturally,
economically or environmentally?
How has Indiana responded to larger
national and transnational movements (civil rights, Great Migration,
industrialization, urbanization, immigration, etc.) that have shaped
urban, suburban and rural communities?
What are the factors that lead some
communities to embrace change and others to resist it? What lessons
can we draw from the past or from across Indiana and the U.S. today?
How can the humanities help
Hoosiers frame and understand the complex challenges facing
communities, such as outmigration, changing job markets, the opioid
crisis, talent attraction and retention and quality of life?
We are not alone in asking these
questions. For instance, a 2017 Washington Post/Kaiser Family
Foundation poll of rural Americans found that 7 out of 10 rural
residents said their values differ from those of city dwellers.
Conversely, 48 percent of urban Americans said their values differ
from people in rural areas or small towns.
Several significant anniversaries and
commemorations that tie to our theme, as well as the next
presidential election, come during 2019-2020. These include:
the Indianapolis bicentennial
the 50th anniversary of Unigov
the 50th anniversary of the
administration of one of the nation’s first black mayors, Gary’s
Richard Hatcher
the 60th anniversary of legislation
that led to the major wave of rural school consolidation in Indiana
in the late 1960s
the centennial of the 1920 census,
which was the first to show that a majority of Americans lived in
cities and towns.
Sometimes
it feels as if we’re coming apart at the seams. T he conclusion
drawn from the near-constant polling, media commentary and academic
analysis of the last few years is that Americans are
polarized—divided along geographic lines or by race, by generation
or by socio-economic status. Historians Kevin Kruse and Julian E.
Zelizer say it all goes back to 1974, when Watergate, the end of the
Vietnam War and anti-busing riots were among the many crises that
rocked America. Journalist Bill Bishop, working from reams of
sociological and political science data, says we started to sort
ourselves into camps in 1965—between June and October, to be exact.
Others go back to the 1920 census, the first to show that the
majority of Americans lived in cities and towns, rather than rural
areas. So what’s true? Are we more divided than ever before? If so,
why is that? What, exactly, divides us? We dug into these and similar
questions on Tuesday, April 23 during a special INseparable-themed
Chew On This.
More than
140 Hoosiers took part in our Chew on This: What Divides Us? dinner
conversations, selling out 10 locations in nine cities on April 23.
The food was great and so were the conversations, as we explored
issues of race, age, poverty, immigration, the rise of social media
and more. Thanks to our restaurant hosts, moderators, tweeters and
everyone who attended the events in Bargersville, Batesville, Carmel,
Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, New Albany, Rensselaer, South Bend and
Warsaw.
