This is the final episode of the Hard Work Series Episode 4: From Michael. This episode is when we get to hear Michaels's own thoughts, about his past, his concerns, his interests, and his plans for the future. This episode is for those who want to see more methods to the madness. You will also hear from me! My own insights into how I put this project together and what lessons I learned along the way.

Episode 2: The power of divergent conversations: If you are like me, you may struggle to think in a linear fashion. However, this nonlinear thinking is able to embrace a variety of subjects and perspectives that may have never come up before. These divergent conversations really open up your mind to open ideas, I recommend this episode for anyone feeling stuck or in a design rut.
Episode 1: The transition from Artist to Designer. This is about a transition from being a fine artist to a designer, we hear from a former classmate and long-time friend, and a former professor! I highly recommend this episode for current students. *This episode does include some playful cursing*
Hello Everyone! This mini-series that I am sharing is about a very familiar person. Michael Todoran of the Landscape Architecture Podcast. His story, like many of ours, is complex and filled with ups and downs. However, I would argue that the most important aspect of a story is the moral or the takeaways. You can view this project as a deep dive into the takeaways people have gotten from Michael Todoran, the impression, and the impact he is making with every connection. Micheal has previously op...
Episode 3 Networking: This episode is about how authenticity and curiosity can forge very strong connections. I would argue that Michael Todoran is an expert in this regard. I recommend a listen for those who struggle with networking or worry about how others see them in professional settings.

This school fire occurred on March 4th, 1908, which means that the anniversary has just passed. * Trigger warning, this episode will discuss the deaths of children and adults and the impacts of fire. While I will not go into great detail about these topics, they will be addressed. If you find this subject matter troubling, listen with caution. **Also** There were some t...

Previously, Maci defined stealing for us as theft, to take unlawfully or without permission. She also discussed the need for us to talk about, confront, and unveil the truth behind the flaws and injustices of our nation’s past. That we can no longer hide behind such topics that are sensitive or controversial, we can no longer worry ourselves with the fear of confrontation and ownership of our faults. We are here to simply present these issues, lie them on the table and say, “here is what we are ...
Nos buscaremos en un tema del que raramente se habla, el tema delicado de DACA. Hoy estamos explorando las circunstancias en torno al programa DACA, que es un acrónimo de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la infancia. Realizaremos un viaje que la mayoría de nosotros nunca experimentaremos personalmente. Tenemos el privilegio de escuchar un viaje personal de un “DACAmentado”.
Anteriormente, Maci definío el robo para nosotros como un acto de tomar ilegalmente o sin permiso. También habló sobre la necesidad de que hablemos, confrontemos y revelemos la verdad detrás de las fallas e injusticias del pasado de nuestra nación. Que ya no podemos escondernos detrás de temas tan sensibles o controversial, ya no podemos preocuparnos por el miedo al enfrentamiento y la apropiación de nuestras faltas. Estamos aquí simplemente para presentar estos problemas, ponerlos sobre la mesa...
In this episode, we will be immersing ourselves into the importance of protecting and preserving our public and private landscape. But first, we must define the differences between Preservation and Protection in the landscape. To preserve is to protect, to keep, to maintain the condition of; while to protect is to keep safe, to defend, to guard; against harmful human activities that have disrupted culture, climate, and biodiversity of plant and animals. With that in mind, we have separated our d...

Within this final episode of season one on the Bravely Curious Podcast, we will look back to our past episodes, where we have explored theft, reclaiming and redefining, and the protecting of public and private spaces . In our previous episodes and within the introduction to the series, we had stated that we wanted a “call to action” based upon everything that we had learned so far. So, for this episode, we have decided to take advantage of the design ideas and solutions to answer the question of...
En este episodio, nos enfocaremos en la importancia de proteger y preservar nuestro paisaje. Pero primero, debemos definir las diferencias entre Preservar y Proteger en el paisaje. Preservar es proteger, cuidar, y defender, mientras que proteger es mantener a salvo, defender, custodiar; contra las actividades humanas nocivas que han alterado la cultura, el clima y la biodiversidad de las plantas y los animales. Con eso en mente, hemos dividido nuestra discusión en tres partes. El primer tema cub...
