E179 What's Your End Game?

"Little World" is a poignant indie folk anthem that explores the paradox of urban isolation in our interconnected world. Born from a unique human-AI collaboration, this song weaves a tapestry of relatable emotions, from the loneliness of city life to the hopeful journey of reaching out and building genuine connections.

Little World

How do you become successful at networking?
- You work with people not against them

- Ask “How can I help you” not “How can you help me”

- Use your network as often as you can (by using and giving back) - it’s like money if someone lends you money and you use all of it then proceed to give it back after a few months without even saying thank you, that person will just feel used which ties into the next point

- Do not keep track of the favours you did for people, when the time is right they will pay you back

- Make other successful so they hope for your success and not your downfall

- Find your purpose, set goals and make a list of people who can help you in fulfilling it, then contact those people.

- Never, ever stay inside of your comfort zone.

Round One Audio Story - Community Led Data Project

In a world driven by collaboration and learning, the age-old adage, “Knowledge grows when shared,” holds more significance than ever. Sharing knowledge is not just an act of generosity; it is the cornerstone of innovation, growth, and meaningful connections. When individuals and communities exchange ideas, they ignite a spark of creativity that can transform lives and industries alike.

Knowledge grows when shared because it fosters mutual understanding, builds trust, and creates a cycle of continuous improvement. By teaching others, you not only solidify your own understanding but also empower them to achieve their potential. This collaborative approach leads to collective progress, whether in personal relationships, workplaces, or society at large.

Organizations thrive when they embrace the philosophy that knowledge grows when shared. Open communication, mentorship programs, and collaborative tools create a dynamic workplace where innovation flourishes. Similarly, educators and trainers who focus on sharing their expertise leave an indelible impact on the lives of their students, ensuring that knowledge is passed on to future generations.

Sharing knowledge is more than an exchange; it’s a bridge to a brighter future. It transcends barriers, be they cultural, professional, or geographical. The digital era, with its blogs, forums, and online courses, has revolutionized how we share and access information, making it possible for knowledge to reach every corner of the globe.

So, whether you are teaching, mentoring, or simply engaging in thoughtful conversations, remember that knowledge grows when shared. It is an investment that pays dividends, not just for individuals but for society as a whole. Together, let us nurture a world where knowledge flows freely and everyone benefits.

- Part Pianist, part composer, part poet, part IT technologies technician/programmer, 100% musician. -

Otoniel Rojas is a Dominican pianist and composer celebrated for his unique fusion of classical music with the rich rhythms of his homeland. Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, he was immersed in a vibrant musical environment from an early age. His father, an accomplished musician, served as the principal flutist and later as the piccolo player in the National Symphony Orchestra of the Dominican Republic, instilling in him a profound appreciation for music.

At just seven years old, Rojas began his formal music education at the National Conservatory of Music, initially focusing on the violin. Simultaneously, he nurtured a passion for the piano, teaching himself to play and developing exceptional sight-reading abilities. His prodigious talent quickly became evident as he accompanied his father in numerous public performances, church services, and television appearances across his native country.

Determined to refine his pianistic skills, Rojas pursued formal piano instruction, excelling in performance, counterpoint, music theory, and solfège at the conservatory. Despite his musical successes, he briefly explored an engineering career at the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD). However, his unwavering dedication to music led him to resume his artistic journey.

Seeking broader horizons, Otoniel relocated to the United States to study at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York—a hub for international students and a springboard to esteemed institutions like Juilliard. Under the mentorship of acclaimed pianist Agustin Anievas, a celebrated American classical pianist known for his recordings of Chopin and Rachmaninoff. Under Anievas' tutelage, Rojas flourished, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Piano Performance, earning the distinction of Cum Laude. His exceptional musicianship was recognized when he won the conservatory's piano competition, performing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the college orchestra.

Deeply involved in the college's musical community, Rojas participated in chamber music ensembles, served as a piano accompanist, and sang in both the specialized chamber choir and the conservatory choir. He expanded his compositional skills under the guidance of Robert Starer, an Austrian-born American composer known for his contributions to contemporary classical music. His collaboration with the university's ballet program led to his composition "A Passing of Time" being incorporated into the ballet's repertoire, which was performed internationally by the university ballet in Prague.

To further diversify his expertise, Rojas studied conducting with Karoly Kope, chamber music with Stoddard Lincoln and Marion Feldman—a distinguished cellist and professor at New York University—and delved into music history under H. Wiley Hitchcock, a leading authority on American music.

Upon returning to the Dominican Republic, Rojas continued to compose and perform. He was commissioned by the Sinfónica del Cibao to create "Mozartina," an orchestral piece that masterfully intertwines traditional merengue rhythms with themes from Mozart's "Jupiter" Symphony. The work features the tambora, a traditional Dominican percussion instrument, symbolizing a fusion of his classical training and cultural roots. "Mozartina" premiered with the Sinfónica del Cibao and was later performed in a revised version by the National Symphony Orchestra in Santo Domingo under the baton of Caonex Peguero, a prominent Dominican violinist/conductor/composer.

Today, Rojas continues to share his music with audiences worldwide. Through platforms like SoundCloud and published sheet music, he brings a unique blend of classical and Dominican musical traditions to listeners and performers alike. His journey reflects a lifelong dedication to music and a commitment to bridging cultures through his art.

Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement. Various organizations encourage residents to register and vote, but it does not appear that anyone is showing voters how to make good decisions when they do. It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local Matters changes that narrative by educating voters with short, clear, and unbiased civics lessons from a career local government professional, public speaker, and management consultant.
