Good Morning, Rebeca. HAPPY OCTOBER!

If you had a talk show, what would it be about?

If I had a talk show… I want to interview people who have made changes in their lives, neighborhoods, and families for the better.

Bring on the people who have not had a chance to showcase the amazing contributions they have made to this world.

This world is filled with so much negativity, hate, and division lately, we need some positivity to bring hope.

Maybe I am the only one who feels that way :)

Happy October @Paul.Woodward 🎃

This sounds like such an uplifting show, I would love to watch it!

If you had a talk show, what would it be about?

Hmmm. I would probably have a talk show about the crazy things I have seen in my daily life. Like how people no longer fully read what is emailed to them. They don't even skim. It's like they imagine the words they want and then reply back to you and say, "it did not work". You send the same instructions again, but worded a tad different. Same result. So you set up a Teams meeting or Zoom meeting with them and screen share with them, and watch them do it. You watch them follow the instructions you are verbally reading off the pdf you sent to them. What do you know, it works like a charm. If I had a nickel for every time this happened, I would be a billionaire. It is absolutely sad. It makes me wonder how folks get through college, maintain jobs, fill out forms, etc. Simple directions!!!

I would want a talk show that invites high level politicians and topic experts to actively brainstorm are biggest issues addressing all aspects of the issue, hopefully finding a solution, and considering the impact of each solution. Something along the lines of discussions that follow the below outline.

Topic

Solution

Impact1

Impact Solution

Impact2

Solution

Global Warming

Limit or cut fossil fuels

Lower income individuals can't afford a fuel efficient vehicle

Public transportation

Limited resources/ staffing

Use of renewable energy sources

Finances for renewables in lower income areas

Gaps when the sun isn't shining or wind isn't blowing

Reduce methane emissions

Reduction the use of livestock means reduction in farmer's income

I'd love to have a talk show with different members of the scientific research community - just discussing what they are currently working on, what the interesting developments in their field are, what the big questions in their field are, that sort of thing.

Hmm… If I had a talk show, it'd probably be something like NerdTalk, where guests could nerd out about their favorite fictional topic! I LOVE hearing people talk about things that give them joy.
